Hello Dan it's Joe here, I hope you are keeping well / It's the 21st of December now they're ringing the last bell

Paul Kelly - 'How To Make Gravy' Live 17th November 2006.
Make Poverty History concert Myer Music Bowl Melbourne.

"Hello Dan, it's Joe here
I hope you're keeping well
Its the 21st of December
now theyre ringing the last bell
if I get good behaviour
I'll be out of here by July
Won't you kiss my kids on Christmas day

Pleeeease don't let them cry for me

I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland and Stella's
flying in from the coast
They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe, but that
won't stop the roast

Who's gonna make the gravy now?
I bet it won't taste the same

Just add flour, salt, a little red wine and don't forget a dollop of
tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang

And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly,
Tell 'em all I'm sorry I screwed up this time
And look after Rita, I'll be thinking of her early Christmas morning
When I'm standing in line

I hear Mary's got a new boyfriend, I hope he can hold his own
Do you remember the last one? What was his name again?
(Just a little too much cologne)

And Roger, you know I'm even gonna miss Roger
'Cause there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight

Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas,
I'm really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash
And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back
And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the
back

I didn't mean to say that, it's just my mind it plays up,
Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact
You know I love her badly, she's the one to save me,
I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat
Tell her that I'm sorry, yeah I love her badly, tell 'em all I'm
sorry,
And kiss the sleepy children for me
You know one of these days, I'll be making gravy,
I'll be making plenty, I'm gonna pay 'em all back."

Iran cleric Montazeri dies

Montazeri accused the current Iranian clerical establishment of being a 'dictatorship' [AFP]

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, Iran's most senior dissident cleric, has died, official media has reported.
Montazeri, 87, was an architect of the 1979 Islamic revolution who fell out with the present leadership.
He had been held under house arrest for several years.
"Hossein Ali Montazeri passed away in his home last night," the official IRNA news agency said on Sunday.
He lived in the city of Qom, which lies south of Tehran, and was referred to as the spiritual leader of the opposition after the country's recent disputed election.
Ghanbar Naderi, an Iran Daily journalist, told Al Jazeera: "This is huge blow to the reformist camp, because he is unreplaceable and nobody is happy to hear about his sad demise.
"He used to say that religion should be separated from politics, because in this way, we can keep the integrity of religion intact."
Non-conformist
In August, Montazeri described the clerical establishment as a "dictatorship", saying that the authorities' handling of street unrest after the disputed election in June "could lead to the fall of the regime".
"I hope the responsible authorities give up the deviant path they are pursuing and restore the trampled rights of the people," he wrote.
"I hope authorities ... have the courage to announce that this ruling system is neither a republic nor Islamic and that nobody has the right to express opinion or criticism," Montazeri said in August this year.
Alireza Ronaghi, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Tehran, said that Montazeri's statements were significant because he was once in line to succeed the late Ayatollah Khomeini as Iran's supreme leader.
But Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a political analyst at the University of Tehran, told Al Jazeera in August that Montazeri has been "saying the same thing for around 25 years".

"After his inner circle was discovered to be linked to Mujahedin terrorists based in Iraq, he was isolated by the reformists," he said.
"He is not a major player and has always been very critical," Marandi said.

Interesting that just over a week ago The Defenders of Human Rights Center in Iran had selected Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri as the human rights activist of the year.

The world's smallest snowman

The snowman is 10 µm across, 1/5th the width of a human hair.

The snowman was made from two tin beads used to calibrate electron microscope astigmatism. The eyes and smile were milled using a focused ion beam, and the nose, which is under 1 µm wide (or 0.001 mm), is ion beam deposited platinum.

A nanomanipulation system was used to assemble the parts 'by hand' and platinum deposition was used to weld all elements together. The snowman is mounted on a silicon cantilever from an atomic force microscope whose sharp tip 'feels' surfaces creating topographic surveys at almost atomic scales.

WOW!

In an effort to establish new platforms for public art and performance, the

multimedia duo SWEATSHOPPE has developed a new interactive technology that enables

them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture. Dubbed

"video painting", this technology allows them to essentially "paint" video onto any

surface. Shooting in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, the duo spent weeks

documenting their work in urban settings to create "The Landing" the first in a

series of episodes that showcases their work as artist, technologist and performers.

This video shows 4 full uncut extra clips form the landing.

Leave 'Sexters' Alone!

So what if teens are sending nakes pictures to each other via cellphone? The real problem, Conor Friedersdorf argues, sets in when grownups get involved.

The suicide of a 13-year-old who sent a topless photo of herself to a crush is stoking renewed hysteria about teen "sexting," a misnamed phenomenon that hardly requires text and doesn't involve sex. What actually happens is that hormone-addled adolescents take naked photographs of themselves and send them to a crush via their cellphones or email accounts. Being teens, the images often spread like lunchtime gossip, especially after breakups. If you've got a kid in high school, the odds are quite high that he or she has seen photographs of a naked classmate—according to a recent PEW poll, one in seven teens with cellphones admit receiving naked pictures directly.

Tragic stories that begin with “sexting” are all too frequent when principals, police officers, or district attorneys get involved.

In most cases, teens who conceal their sexting from authority figures suffer negligible adverse consequences; they're hardly the first generation to play "I'll show you mine," and even Verizon's 3G network cannot yet transmit sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy...

WTF???

Justice Elizabeth Curtain denied when sentencing Clinton Rintoull to 20 years jail for his "ferocious and brutal" attack on Liep Gony that the murder was racially motivated.

He had wrtten "fuck da niggers" on the wall of his house and announced shortly before the attack that he was "going to kill the blacks".

Liep Gony was Sudanese.

Justice Curtain of the Victorian Supreme Court here in Melbourne you are a fugn idiot and this song is for you:
