Thursday night footy sees the Panthers through ‘cracked windows’ host the Rabbitohs at BlueBet Stadium at 8pm. I want you all to remember this moment – I am not last. Stuart and Paul are out in front after tipping five, Mike and you legends in the Crowd tipped four, Mary and I tipped three, while last year’s champion AJ is out the back after getting just two correct. Tigers – even with all their new stars – looked exactly the same. The visitors looked good, with a lot of positive signs for the season ahead. We finished the round out at Leichardt, with the Titans taking out a 22-10 win over the Tigers. To anyone that tipped this upset, kudos my friend. They played like they had been together forever, and I’m sure enjoyed dishing out that humble pie for everyone else to eat. Hats off to the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon! What a win! The new kids on the block kicked off their inaugural season with a huge 28-18 win over the Roosters. It was an entertaining 80 minutes, with both teams putting on a great show for Round 1. In a match that could have gone either way, the Bunnies proved too good for the Nicho Hynes-less Sharks on Saturday night, taking out a 27-18 win. A Chad Townsend field goal eventually broke the deadlock and gave the home side a 19-18 win. The Cowboys got out to an early 18-0 lead over the Raiders on Saturday night in Townsville, but as we have seen so many times before, the Green Machine clawed their way back to level the scores with 20 minutes to go.

Childress has done it again From beginning to end, Technology of the Gods is filled with facts, keen observations and tales that challenge modern assumptions in a humorous, intelligent and compelling way that is quintessential Childress. Childress also uncovers many other mysteries, including: - the technology of ancient flight - how the ancients used electricity - megalithic building techniques - the use of crystal lenses and the fire from the gods - ancient evidence of high-tech weapons, including atomic weapons - the role of modern inventors, such as Nikola Tesla, in bringing ancient technology into modern use - impossible artifacts, and more, much more. Popular Lost Cities author David Childress opens the door to the amazing world of ancient technology, from the computers of ancient world to the 'flying machines of the gods.' Technology of the Gods explores the technology that was allegedly used in Atlantis and the theory the Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally a gigantic power station. I really liked the character of Rachel Krall and hope that she may appear in a future book with another cold case or a case of guilty or not guilty. So, it is no surprise that the two cases end up having some of the same people involved but how they end up being involved is a huge surprise. And, because of how small it is everyone knows everyone or at least knows something about everyone. Many of the same people that lived in the small NC town 20 years ago still live there. I loved the way it was presented, a podcast by Rachel Krall about a rape case currently being tried in court and Rachel looking into a possible murder of a 16 yo girl 20 years earlier. I am getting kind of tired of ‘psychological’ thrillers so was glad to find that Night Swim was actually a crime drama. “While Megan Goldin’s new novel The Night Swim is quite different from her first book, I think I liked this one even better.

Back then, I considered reading and understanding a short story in Italian a major accomplishment. Given that her daughter was teaching me Italian, she must have felt inspired to introduce me to Italy’s most celebrated novel-all 582 pages of it-in its original form. It was a paperback copy of I promessi sposi. In the affectionate confusion of saying goodbyes, the bride’s mother ran into a bookstore and placed a tome in my hands. Her family hosted us warmly, and on the last day we spent together, before my own family and I were headed back to the airport in Genoa, they organized a final, intimate lunch with the newlyweds. The bride, who lived in Brooklyn in those days, as I did, was my Italian tutor. I attended my first Italian wedding in the seaside town of Sestri Levante, on the Ligurian coast. But I can’t make myself assign the x any other color than maroon, and there are no maroon-colored numbers. But here an x has to stand for an unknown number. Ever since she realized her difference, she has concealed her ability, until algebra defeats her: “Normally an x is a shiny maroon color, like a ripe cherry. This is a boon in many ways-she excels in history because she can remember dates by their colors-and a curse. Thirteen-year-old Mia is a synesthete: her brain connects her visual and auditory systems so that when she hears, or thinks about, sounds and words, they carry with them associated colors and shapes that fill the air about her. A young teen whose world is filled with colors and shapes that no one else sees copes with the universal and competing drives to be unique and to be utterly and totally normal. He started exerting huge amounts of painful pressure on his own joint, hoping to tear the scar tissue a tiny bit at a time. Eventually he got desperate enough to try doing it himself. He feared that without treatment, he wouldn't be able to skate again. “They don't want to go bigger than shoulders,” he says. Mullen says his doctors told him there was a treatment for smaller joints that get stuck like this. But a hip joint was too big and too risky. “They put you to sleep and they put something like a boat clamp to you and they chhhkk,” he says, with a snapping motion. “Doctors would not recommend it.”īy 2003, after nearly 30 years of skateboarding-if you’ve ever seen kids skating, you’ve seen tricks Mullen devised-the legendary athlete had pummeled his right hip joint so much that scar tissue and the grinding of bone on bone had gotten the joint stuck in a single track. “Sheer desperation,” he says by way of explanation. Rodney Mullen tore his own hip joint apart on purpose. There cannot be you taking another person’s opinion of this book. There will only be what you think about this book. However, it could be a great book for an off day read. Also, it might not be the best book to read if you are having an off day. You need to read this book and choose for yourself. You will have strong feelings about it (positive or negative). This is going to be a LOVE it or EH book. Thank you for the opportunity to read it though.” BUT do not be afraid to say “It does not do it for me.

Although Kendall believes that Richard was not responsible for the death of his nephews, in fact believing the evidence points to the Duke of Buckingham as instigator if not actual culprit, but Kendall does acknowledge that Richard might have in some way acquiesced and ultimately believed he was at fault through taking the throne. Kendall does tackle the death of the Princes in the first Appendix as he feels a discussion within the text itself would not be proper, which given the subject seems to be the correct course. From the outset, Kendall informs his reader of personal interpretations he has made from evidence through the use of starred (*) references within the text with explanations in the Notes after the main body of text. Even though over 50 years worth of research has outdated some of Kendall's evidence, his overall body of work gives the reader a truer glimpse of Richard the man than from Richard the arch villain. Paul Murray Kendall's Richard the Third is a readable biographical introduction of the last Plantagenet King of England that for many only comes to mind as the sinister hunchback of Shakespeare. |
