A pe t i t i on on paying for plastic bags was also initiated by Tiza Mafira during the event. The petition was made to encourage b u s i n e s s e s a n d g o v e r n m e n t s t o formulate a regulation on the reduction of plastic bag use by putting a price on plastic bags.

The petition is targeting to collect 100,000 signatures to

be brought to retailers and the Jakarta administration. Jakarta is the first province to set a target of being free of plastic bags.

“We hope that cloth bags can turn into a new trend among

Among the participants, Maria Yolanda, painted the famous Korean word saranghae (I love you), on her cloth bag.

Around 200 people joined a campaign to reduce the use of plastic bags on Sunday at Renon field in Denpasar by substituting their plastic bags with cloth bags.

The campaign, wh i ch was named “Headbag Mob”, has been hosted in other c i t i e s i n c l u d i n g Bandung, Jakarta and Surakarta in previous years. The event, which was initiated by Gerakan Indonesia Diet Kantong Plastik together with Youth Corner Bali, with support from Bank Mandiri, aimed to encourage the public to reduce plastic bag use.

“We are encouraging the community to start changing their excessive use of plastic bags,” said the coordinator of Headbag Mob Bali Raka Oka Diraka.

JIMBARANJimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This

was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels.

There is however little in the way of budget accommodation and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row".

The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.

Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari Segara Resort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe.

Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has the advantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

G'day again punters and welcome to the latest and greatest weekly newspaper in Bali. We have a lot to get through this week so I won't be wasting my page space talking about football and contrary to popular belief it's not because the Mighty Pies copped a loss to the Bombers on ANZAC day, nor is it because Port had a great win over the Eagles,who by the way really need a shot of whatever Essendon are shooting, It's because I can't stand the way the season is rolling out. This year has had so many upsets and so much

scrappy shocking football. I think if things don't change and these coaches don't start getting their teams back into some sort of disciplined rhythm then I'm afraid I am going to have to convert to the N.R.L for some decent Friday night viewing at the local.

Speaking of the Friday night footy I'll let you all know that the powers that be at the “Kuta Town House” have put the Friday night roast on again, and not before time. They have the usual all you can eat, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb with all the vegies and trimmings to boot. It's a help yourself arrangement and generally never runs out. There's usually enough food to feed a whole team of hungry Scotsmen, with the meat being cooked all afternoon over charcoal to give it that true taste of BBQ we all crave so much. I hope to see all the locals down there this week to watch the Mighty Pies give the Aints a lesson in footy. Should be a good match.Moving forward and on while on the subject of locals and the many of us that frequent so many of the great places that advertise in our paper, we did get a letter from one old mate who loves to send in feedback, and after not publishing any of the old rot he has sent in I thought I better give him a run. The letter is as follows

Dear Aliasj.Having watched the game and the Anzac tributes at my favourite eating/drinking/watching football spot, it amazes me, that how many ozzie expats never bother to stand up for the ozzie national anthem. Are they forgetful of where they come from? shy? or just cannot be bothered? All I can say, like Collingwood, lift ya game boys! Go the hawks. The Ferret Ps: I Love Julia !

Thanks for the feedback Ferret and yes as these guys know we did dedicate the paper to the ANZAC last week which was well deserved by all who stood to protect the country past and present. You'd think a few more of the older blokes would know better and offer that little more and actually stand up for a few seconds while the old Australia Fair is played. I guess it wouldn't do if we were all the same and that's what makes the world go round. With regards to the Pies, I agree they need to lift there game and work without a few key players that little bit better, and yes mate I love Julia as well. Ok folks thats about all the room we can afford this week and as usual I have the Editor knocking on the door screaming out something about a printing deadline so I will close for the week. I hope the most of you stay safe, happy, healthy and try to always remember, “You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there“ Enjoy Your Week,

ALIASJ………..

SEMINYAK

World renowned for its stunning sunsets, bars & restaurants that offer some of the finest dinning in Asia along with its chic and stylish fashion boutiques, Seminyak has now proved itself as the most popular destination for both high net investors, seeking fantastic returns and tourists alike.

No matter where you are in Seminyak, you are only minutes from the beaches! The area not only offers all the buzz and excitement required to enhance your holiday experience, but also provides investors with opportunity to benefit from the highest rental yield that the island has to offer.

hippy hideaway, the attraction and popularity of Canggu has caught the notice of both mainstream buyers and investors alike. As prices in trendy Seminyak area continue to shoot sky high, a large number of buyers are now opting for the more sedate pace of “expat” country lifestyle.

The area not only offers all the first class amenities you would expect like an international school, world class championship golf course and an extremely well healed member only country club but also boast bars, restaurants and beaches that we have come to adore here on “The island of the Gods” with very large plots, superbly designed villas very close, if not on the beach, at far more reasonable prices, The Canggu area is fast becoming the epitome of a lifestyle purchasers dream.

The 1974 Crash of Pan Am Fight Number 812 in BaliBali History: Remembering 107 Passengers and Crew on 1974 Crash of Pan Am in Bali

T h e C l i p p e r C l i m a x operating as Pan Am Flight 812 crashed into a hillside at Grogek, North Bali, on April 22, 1974.

The Boeing 707-321B with registration N446PA was carrying 96 passengers an 11 crew on a flight that had departed from Hong Kong approximately four hours earlier and was scheduled to stop in Bali briefly before continuing on to its next scheduled stop of Sydney, Australia.

But passengers onboard the ill-fated aircraft were never to reach Bali, let alone Sydney. As the aircraft approached Bali from the north and it made an early and precipitous turn for runway 09 at

B a l i ' s N g u r a h R a i International Airport, slamming into a remote jungle hilltop 79 kilometers northwest of the airport.

Later, crash investigator were to determine that a premature execution of a right-hand turn in an effort to join the 263 degrees outbound track, p o s s i b l y p r o m p t e d b y malfunctioning Radio Direction Finder, sent the aircraft and its passengers to their doom.

Today the tragic crash, that will mark its 40th year in 2014, is remembered at a shrine tucked away in a remote corner of Padang Galak, on the banks of the Ayung River. There, the names of the 107 who died in the c r a s h a r e r e c o r d e d o n

enshrined in stone and in the memory of the island forever.

Staying Safe is Kid's PlayKids on Bali's East Coast Learn to Become Lifesavers

The Jakarta Post reports how elementary school children living on the eastern coast of Bali are being turned into junior lifeguards. Most of the children involved in the pioneering project come from Lebih village in Gianyar, a one-half hour drive from Bali's capital of Denpasar.

While villagers at Lebih were once fr ightened and intimidated by the large waves that washed their shores, familiarization with the ways of the ocean through training provided for elementary school age students has helped “drown-proof” many local children and created lucrative job opportunities working as lifeguards both in Bali and abroad.

The village itslef now employs 20 lifeguards with an estimated 50 other villagers now working overseas, guarding swimmers on distant shores.

A village leader, Wayan

Gede Pradnyana, told the press that Lebih now holds an annual Lebih Beach Festival that includes swimming competitions and other games organized by Surf Life Saving Australia.

Surf Life Saving Australia provides courses for village children on basic swimming, water survival and life-savings

techniques. Pradnyana recalls how his

village was initially approached and offered assistance by Surf Life Australia largely because the village has its own swimming pool, considered essential to the

training of young swimmers and lifeguards.

Training is conducted for children from two grade schools every Sunday morning on the beach. Explained Pradnyana: “We teach the children using a guide book provided by Surf Life Saving Australia, which contains lessons about basic lifeguard skills and first aid to save victims. We hope that the children can learn how to save themselves and others.”

The five-week course will eventually certify some 200 students and celebrated on a graduation day that will include beach runs and swimming competitions.

Winners will also receive books and swimming gear provided by Surf Life Saving Aust ra l ia and the v i l lage administration.

All training for the children is provided without charge.

BALI LOCATION TO SUIT EVERYONEKuta is nestled between Jl. Bakungsari to the south and Jl. Melasti to the north.

Kuta is the best known of all the vil lages in Bali, often maligned, but loved by many. Kuta gets its so called bad reputation from the early days of travel to Bali where everybody, particularly the young crowd, hung out and got wrecked. Footpaths didn't exist, open drains ran down the side of unmade roads. Shopping was sarongs and T-shirts and hawkers who sold just about anything.

Times have changed and Kuta has grown up, gone are the unmade roads and open drains. Footpaths, although narrow, run both sides of the main streets. The hawkers are still there - part of the

character of the place. Sarongs and T-shirts are

still sold but now there are CD shops, boutiques, small trendy bars and restaurants and even Department Stores. Kuta boasts the world's first "themed" Hard Rock Hotel.

Imagine going into a huge one level shopping centre that would take about 45 minutes to walk from one end to the other with small walkways branching off in every direction, now add cars, motorbikes and the odd temple ceremony. This is what the middle of Kuta is like except it doesn't have a roof. Just find a small café (Warung), sit back and watch, it's great!

The hawkers in Kuta can be aggressive, but if you don't want to buy - don't make eye contact. Don't say anything and there will

generally be no problems. The beach at Kuta is wide

and usually has good surf in the late afternoon. Kuta beach isn't really a place to sit if you don't like crowds.

In keeping with the Kuta theme, it is more of a social occasion, where you meet the locals and other tourists and you don't have to move for anything - the hawkers will bring it to you. Late afternoon is best about 3 - 4pm, sunsets, soccer games, and just a great place for a walk.

If being involved and having everything close by; if you want to party or just shop, Kuta is the place. Even if you don't stay there, don't go home without visiting Kuta at least once, maybe twice... three times?

P a s t i k a s a i d : “ T h e Gerbangsadu Mandara program began in 2012 targeting 82 villages where poverty levels were above 35%. Every village got Rp. 1 billion for developing the productive economy and Rp. 20 million for operational costs.”

The 2013 Gerbangsadu Mandara program will assist villages in Jembrana (7), Tabanan (19), Badung (8), Gianyar (10), Klungkung (8), Bangli (10),

Karanasem (11), Buleleng (21) and Denpasar (6).

Pastika said he hoped the village chiefs in the selected communities would use the money wisely and be able to account for how the money was spent.

Pastika said that of the 82 villages financially assisted in 2012 yielded positive results in terms of publics welfare.

He said because of these results, plans were underway to increase the allocation to needy

villages in the 2014 budget to Rp. 3 billion (US$300,000).

Meanwhile, the head of the Agency fo r t he Peop le ' s Empowerment and Village Affairs (BPMD), I Putu Astawa, told the press that the 100 villages to receive assistance in 2013 is still a proposal from the governor and must receive approval from the Bali House of Representatives (DPRD-Bali).


A m e r i c a n I d o l f i n a l i s t H a l e y Reinhart visited Bali and Jakarta last week to greet and entertain her Indonesian fans. R e i n h a r t , w h o spent five days on holiday in Bali, also played a concert in G a n d a r i a C i t y, Jakarta.

“ T h a n k y o u Indonesia, it is nice to come here. It's a truly warm welcome from you guys, and I want to come back again,” stated

The 22-year-old singer also appeared o n X F a c t o r Indonesia, where she praised the standard of the participants and shared some of her own experience with the contestants.

“ I s t a r t e d singing since the age of seven, and I knew that's what I wanted,” laughed the singer who claims to love nasi goreng, before

adding that she was “Glad to be in Jakarta and happy to see a lot of fans who follow the show.”

KUTA WEEKLYREAL ESTATE GUIDEREAL ESTATE

As a foreigner, there is a number of ways that can lead to you owning your dream property in Bali.

The best option for you will depend on your personal situation, the type of property, risk factors and the type of investment model.Even though it states in Indonesian law that foreigners are not allowed to hold a 'freehold' land title, there are ways that have been in practice for a number of years that enable foreigners to control a freehold title indirectly or to hold a leasehold title in their own name.

RIGHT OF USE (HAK PAKAI)This is the right of use over

state-owned (crown land) or property owned by public or private persons/entities for a specific purpose for (generally) a finite period and occasionally for an indefinite period. This land right may not be sold, exchanged or transferred unless explicitly state in an agreement.

Hak pakai may be held by and Indonesian individual or entity.

Or foreigner permanently domiciled in Indonesia, or a foreign legal entity with a representative office in Indonesia such as foreign Banks, embassies, etc.

NOMINEE SYSTEM FOR HAK MILIK

This structure is a regularly practiced procedure in Indonesia, whereby the foreigner nominates and Indonesian representative to acquire the land and to hold the 'freehold' title (Hak Milik) on behalf of the foreigner.

Ownership of the land is transferred from the previous owner to the Indonesian nominee.

The foreigner and the Indonesian nominee then sign an agreement which recognizes the Indonesian nominee as the legal owner of the property whilst declaring the foreigner as the rightful owner of the property. This agreement denotes that the Indonesian nominee will carry out any directives from the foreigner regarding the land. This agreement must always be concluded in the presence of a public notary.

NASA's Apollo 10 astronauts encountered floating human waste

HOW astronauts go to the toilet in zero gravity has always interested some. Now it can be revealed what difficulties can arise.

Newly-released transcripts from NASA's Apollo 10 mission to the moon in May 1969 show that when it came to boldly going, all was not well.

A s t r o n a u t s Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan had, judging by the transcripts, profound difficulty managing the spacecraft's toilet

A p o l l o 1 0 ' s Commander, Thomas Stafford, was first to realize there was a problem.

"Give me a napkin quick ... there's a turd floating through the air," he said.

John Young, the Command Module Pilot, quickly replied: "I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine."

Eugene Cernan, the Lunar Module Pilot, quickly realizing the blame was shifting towards him, shot back: "I don't think it's one of

mine."Stafford then retorted

"Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away."

Young retorted: "God almighty" before laughter is

heard.Cernan then discovers

there's more than one piece of human waste floating in the cockpit.

"Here's another goddamn turd. What's the matter with you guys? Here, give me a " which is greeted with laughter from Stafford and Young.

Stafford asks: "It was just floating around?"

Cernan: "Yes."The issue was reviewed

after the mission ended, with NASA experts concluding that

correctly using the "facilities "in space i.e., a s t r a t e g i c a l l y -positioned plastic bag required "a great deal of skill".

"In general, the A p o l l o w a s t e management system worked satisfactorily from an engineering standpoint," according to the b iomedica l review said. "From the point of view of crew acceptance, however, the system must be given poor marks."

Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the US Apollo space program. Its purpose was to be a "dry run" for the Apollo 11 mission, testing the procedures and components of a Moon landing without actually landing on the Moon itself. Sounds Like A Shitty Job..

Naked man braves flooded river and crocodiles to win some bourbon

A F ISHERMAN has risked his life for what he considered a good cause - booze.

He won two cases of bourbon for jumping on to a log racing down a flooded, crocodile infested river in the nude.

The tiler, who didn't want to be named, rode the makeshift raft for about three minutes before clambering back into a boat.

"I'd enjoyed a few beers and it seemed a good idea at the time," he said.

Witness Billy Innes said his mate thought nothing of the dangers of drowning or being eaten by a saltwater crocodile, which inhabit the river in large numbers.

"It was hilarious," he said.The daredevil was camping

at the Daly River when he accepted the bet.

" H u g e t r e e s w e r e hammering down the river," Mr Innes said.

"It was quite a sight. Someone dared him to get on to one of the logs and row across the river."

Keith Parry, 20, was killed while swimming across the Daly River in April 2009. He was crossing the river because he wanted more beer.

2 May - 8 May 2013

Aries – March 21 to April 20Reckless Rams – this week's Mars/Saturn opposition compels you to do something completely out of character for a speedy Aries – put the brakes on, and think before you act and speak. Enjoy the change of pace! When it comes to your current spending habits, it's time to buy practical things you really need … rather than expensive trifles that you'll later regret.

Taurus – April 21 to May 21The Sun, Venus and Mars are moving through your sign [and Mercury joins them on Thursday] so you've got a quadruple dose of Taurean tenacity … and you're in stubborn, slow-moving mode. Good luck to anyone who tries to speed up your schedule! As birthday great Glenn Ford remarked “If they try to rush me I tell them I've only got one other speed, and that's slower.”

Gemini – May 22 to June 21Gregarious Geminis love nothing better than a good old chin-wag, but garrulous gossip and indiscreet chatter could get you into trouble this week so choose your words wisely. Mercury [your ruling planet] moves into Taurus on Thursday, which will help calm your nerves and steady your restless mind. A close relationship has a decidedly deja-vu feel at the moment.

Cancer – June 22 to July 23There'll be opportunities to share your hopes and dreams with like-minded souls this week. When it comes to a problem with a child, teenager, lover or friend there are no quick fixes Crabs. It's a case of one step forwards and two steps backwards [or sideways] but you'll eventually make progress. Singles – look for a mature partner who has emotional depth.

Leo – July 24 to August 23It's the perfect week to set gigantic goals and dream big dreams for the future – and don't make them too safe and sensible! It's time for cautious Cats and languid Lions to go for gold as the Sun trines Pluto, giving you a sensational shot of confidence [especially at work]. Recuperative powers are strong, as you pursue activities that rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.

Libra – September 24 to October 23When it comes to money matters, the main quality you need to cultivate is patience. If you concentrate on spending rather than saving, it will pay off further down the track. So your motto for the moment is “Good things come to those who wait.” On Sunday, help lighten the heavy atmosphere with your natural talent for peace-making and smoothing troubled waters.

Scorpio – October 24 to November 22With Saturn moving slowly through your sign [until 2015] the temptation is to get stuck in a Scorpio rut. This week's positive Sun/Pluto aspects help you be more open to change, as you transform a major area of your life. Your motto for the week is from Jerry Seinfeld [born on April 29] “If life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.”

Sagittarius – November 23 to December 21The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all move through earthy Taurus this week, which will help stabilize your restless Sagittarian spirit, as you take ambitious ideas and turn them into practical projects. Don't expect instant results though … you must be patient. It's also time to focus on health and fitness – and are you up-to-date with your medical and dental checks?

Capricorn – December 22 to January 20Capricorns can be fanatical control-freaks. But it's not your business to organize everything [and everyone] around you, and some things are just out of your control. Expect a frustrating week, as Saturn stymies your ambitious plans to zoom ahead with a person or project, and you encounter road blocks at every turn. It's time to slow down … and calm down!

Aquarius – January 21 to February 19You want to be an avant-garde Aquarian but work worries or domestic responsibilities will take up your time and energy this week. Avoid taking short-cuts. If you are slap-dash with a professional project, there'll be serious consequences later on. So just put your head down and get on with it. The stars encourage you to smoke the peace pipe with a family member.

Virgo – August 24 to September 23Virgos love to learn! Mercury moves into your education zone [from May 2-16] so it's a terrific time to study or pick up a new skill. Saturday is the perfect day to share a creative project with someone special; but avoid making mountains out of molehills on Sunday, as Mercury/Saturn aspects put you in worrywart mode. The more relaxed you are, the better the day will be.

Pisces – February 20 to March 20You're keen to gossip and catch up with the current affairs of family and friends but don't be too frivolous Fish – loved ones may have serious issues to discuss. And make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to get to work, meetings and appointments, as tricky Mars/Saturn aspects affect your travel and transport zones. Saturday is super for creative communication.

A night market that serves local food is an interesting stop on the itinerary when you are visiting Bali.

This particular market, locally known as Pasar Senggol Gianyar, is full of local people and interesting night activity. Many visitors come here just to walk around, people watch and taste the local cuisine.

In the morning, the market has all the hustle and bustle of a common traditional market. But at night, it shows a more lively atmosphere with the sounds of Balinese music played loudly by cassette-tape vendors a n d c h i l d r e n b u s y choosing toys while their mothers try to get them to the food stalls.

The t rad i t ional night market is always packed with visitors, despite the presence of a nearby modern supermarket, as it is not just about buying food but also the fun spent hanging out with family and friends for the evening.

Although there are many stalls selling toys and clothes, the culinary stalls have always been the most visited spots.

A wide variety of Balinese foods are available here, including serombotan (mixed vegetables studded with peanuts, shredded coconut and chili sauce), ayam betutu (steamed chicken with Balinese spices), and traditional snacks like klepon, laklak, lapis, giling and wajik.

Along the north side of the market, there is a line of stalls selling babi guling (suckling pig), which

i s s e r v e d t h e characteristic Gianyar style.

Visiting this night market will not cost you a lot of money. You can get a portion of serombotan for only Rp 3,000 (30 US cents), and var ious traditional snacks starting from Rp 2,000.

As for suckling pig, there are a variety of portions to order, ranging from Rp 8,000 to Rp 15,000.

Although the night market opens from 3

p.m., it only starts to get its lively atmosphere at around 7 p.m. One hour will probably be enough for you to wander around the market, which closes sometime between 10 to 11 p.m.

Return to sender? Maybe not as mail restarts 22 years on

Somalis may soon be receiving letters from abroad for the first time in more than 20 years after a deal was struck with the United Nations' postal agency, the latest step towards ending Somalia's isolation following two decades of civil conflict.

B u t t h e challenges to bringing the Horn of Africa country back into the g l o b a l p o s t a l c o m m u n i t y a r e manifold there are no f u n c t i o n i n g p o s t offices, only the main roads are named and most houses do not have a number.

Add to that the ongoing struggle with a l Q a e d a - l i n k e d insurgents, who still control much of the countryside, and parts of the coastline infested with pirates, and it is clear the U.N.'s Universal Postal Union

(UPU) and its partners have their work cut out.

The Swiss-based UPU said in a s ta tement sa id that international postal services could start operating again in Somalia within the next few months.

Somal ia 's Minister of Information and Communication

A b d u l l a h i Hirsi signed a memorandum o f understanding w i t h E m i r a t e s Post Group this week for Dubai to act as a hub for handling mail destined for Somalia, it said.

T h e UPU, which

brokered the deal, said its 192 member countries could resume sending mail to Somalia once the arrangements were finalized.

About 2 million Somalis live abroad and 9.9 million in Somalia, served by a postal network that is "basically in-existant", the UPU said, having dwindled from 100 post offices in 1991.

UPU spokesman Rheal LeBlanc said Somalia had created an office at the airport to handle mail moving in and out of the country, initially to service the government, embassies and universities, "but they seem to have plans to phase in postal services across the country over the next few months and years".

Hirsi said his country would need help getting the post going again.

"We ask for all means of assistance as we have to start from ground zero," the UPU statement quoted him as saying.

In the latest sign of optimism that Somalia was emerging from its violent recent past, Britain opened an embassy at Mogadishu airport after its previous mission closed in 1991 as civil war broke out.

Is this giant find proof of Bigfoot?It appears to be a big and decomposed foot - but is it proof Bigfoot exists, a bear paw or a hoax?

Police in Massachusetts do not know what to make of the discovery by two young boys, who reportedly came upon the foot while in the woods.

There i s specu la t ion amongst locals that it could be part of the mythical Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, an ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests.

Medical examiners are conducting tests to determine the origin of the remains.

Local news reports say it has already been determined that the remains are not human although an elaborate hoax has yet to be ruled out.

“It will take some time before we hear any official results," said Police Chief Frank Alvilhiera.

M e a n w h i l e , ' b i g f o o t ' hunters are being offered $1million in a competition to prove that the legendary creature exists.

A b e e r - s p o n s o r e d competition will give winners $25,000-a-year for 40 years if they provide ' i r refutable evidence' that Bigfoot exists in north-western America.

The Falcon Project, a partner to the competition, are also undertaking what they say is the most comprehensive-ever search for the creature,

using an unmanned airship and high definition thermal imaging camera equipment.

gentleman went to Las

Vegas.

Sitting in a Cocktail lounge, he beckoned the waitress

and said quietly, "Miss, y'all sure are a luvly, luvly

lady. Can ah persuade y'all to give me a piece of ass?"

"Wow, that's the most direct proposition I've ever

had!" gasped the girl.

Then she looked around the room, smiled and said,

"Sure, why not? You're an attractive guy too, and it's

pretty slow here right now, so why don't we just slip

away up to your room?"

When they returned half an hour later, the man sat

down at the same table and the waitress smiled at

him and asked, "Will there be anything else?"

"Why yes," replied the southern gentleman. "Ah sure

'preciate what y'all just did for me. It was real sweet

and right neighbourly of y'all. But where ah come

from in Albama, we like our bourbon real cold, so ah

still need a piece of ass for mah drink."

counselling after 25 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, Eileen went

into a passionate, painful tirade listing every

problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had

been married.

She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of

intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and

unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she

had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient

length of time, the therapist got up, walked around

the desk and after asking Eileen to stand, embraced

her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put his hands

on her breasts and massaged them thoroughly,

while kissing her passionately as her husband Bob

watched with a raised eyebrow!

Eileen shut up, buttoned up her blouse, and quietly

sat down while basking in the glow of being highly

aroused.

The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what

your wife needs at least three times a week.. Can

you do this?'

Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can

drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays ..

knee reconstruction last year and a broken arm in round one he is back but is still adjusting to the rigours and tempo of the game again.

Matt Rosa gives them another option as an inside and outside midfielder to support Daniel Kerr and Matt Priddis, but his body keeps letting him down. The Eagles again will have to do without the forward pressure of Mark Nicoski, who was a revelation in that role in 2011.

Another player who won't be back that they may be missing more than anyone is key forward Quentin Lynch. He's now at Collingwood and is performing that workhorse role for which he was renowned for more than a decade at the Eagles.

J a c k D a r l i n g , J o s h Kennedy and Lecras gives the West Coast forward line class but they don't look as potent without Lynch. The defence has had its fair share of injuries as well to talls Eric Mackenzie and Darren Glass, giving Worsfold's team an unsettled look across the field.

They are also losing matches after dominating early.

At the start of the season the Eagles were favourites to win the premiership that view was shared by many. They appeared to have the best depth and had significantly added to it in the off-season. Sharrod Wellingham from Collingwood in particular was a valuable addition with his outside run one area they probably need to address in the midfield.

But five r o u n d s i n W e l l i n g h a m hasn't played yet due to injury a n d W e s t Coast has just one victory, an unimpressive demolition of Melbourne in round three. The in jur ies h a v e r e a l l y affected John W o r s f o l d ' s t e a m a n d exposed a lack of depth.

Mind you, i t has been injuries to key players and it doesn't matter how much depth or back-up you have - if some of your best players are sidelined all teams, including the better ones, will struggle.

Nic Naitanui also has not been seen due to a frustrating groin ailment and we know how pivotal he is to the Eagles. He is sensational at the centre bounces, allowing Dean Cox to dominate around the ground. But Cox doesn't have his support at the moment and his effectiveness is being curbed. They need Naitanui back urgently.

Mark Lecras is one of West Coast's best forwards and, after a

Injuries clip Eagles' wingsThe Western Derby in

round one was an example of that but the Port match last week was particularly alarming.

They had the undefeated Power dead and buried for almost three quarters, leading at one stage by almost seven goals, but poor kicking for goal kept their new-look opposition alive and Port took its chances to storm over the top of West Coast.

Worsfold is in his 12th year as coach and is one of the club's

legends. But in three of the d e f e a t s t o F r e m a n t l e , Carlton and Port he has been unable to change the m o m e n t u m and swing the game back his side's way in the heat of the battle. He was b a d l y ou tcoached b y M i c k M a l t h o u s e against the B l u e s a n d R o s s Ly o n

when Freo overtook them and that's obviously a concern.

The season is far from over yet for West Coast and the draw favours the Eagles over the next month with winnable games against the Bulldogs and North Melbourne at home and Brisbane and the Giants away. Despite their poor start, they should be favourites to win all those.

But hang on. They were in the same position in the previous five. They need to win at least three otherwise the top eight, let alone top four, could be out of reach.

Australian golf courses might have kangaroos that occasionally cross the paths of golfers as they enjoy a round but America has alligators.

Taking the term hazard to a completely different level, players in the PGA Tour Zurich Classic golf tournament in Louisiana, had to contend with alligators on the fairways and the bunkers during the first round.

C l e a r l y n o t disturbed by the players, the alligators meandered around the course or lolled in the water on fairway-side lakes.

Golf course staff had to re-rake a bunker after one of the locals strolled through on the 14th hole. The site of the alligators was enough for at least one caddie to reach for the phone camera.

The alligators appear placid enough, one had only three legs so was presumably not dangerous. The players continued the round unfazed, but the pictures are certainly a head turner.

Now that's a golf hazard The man who ate his own finger

A British man says he ate his own finger after it had to be amputated by doctors when it turned black.

Surgeons removed Dave Playpenz's finger after it was damaged in a motorbike accident.

But rather than throw the finger away, the bondage furniture maker asked to take it home, “I'd always wondered what human flesh tastes like. But it's taboo," Dave said.

“I decided to cook it and taste it. Then my curiosity would be satisfied.”

He also told love it! magazine: “I know it sounds mad, but it wasn't just the curiosity. That finger was a big bit of me, too big a bit to lose.

“I decided that, if I ate the flesh and kept the bones, then I wouldn't be losing part of me.”

He boiled the finger in salt water: “Because I wanted to keep the bones, I decided not to fry or roast the finger, as that would damage them."

The Adelaide Crows have lost forward Taylor Walker for the rest of the season after ruptur ing the anter ior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.

S c a n s h a v e confirmed Walker will n e e d a k n e e reconstruction after suffering the injury in the Crows' loss to Carlton on Saturday.

The club has said the recovery time from the injury is expected to be 12 months.

Adelaide general manager of football Phil Harper said Walker will have surgery next week.

"The whole Club feels devastated for Taylor, but we know how professional he has become in his treatment of injuries," Harper said.

"He will be given the best p o s s i b l e t r e a t m e n t a n d rehabilitation program to help him get his knee prepared for the rigours of AFL football."

Walker becomes the 13th AFL footballer in season 2013 to suffer an ACL injury.

Meanwhile Hawthorn will be without Cyril Rioli for at least six weeks due to a serious hamstring tear.

Rioli was the driving force behind the Hawks' dramatic three-point win over North

Melbourne on Sunday, booting four goals including three in the third quarter.

However he came from the ground midway through the final term after injuring his hamstring.

The club had hoped it would prove to be a minor strain, but scans today have confirmed a high-grade lower hamstring tear.

"It's probably not looking too good," Rioli said.

"It's sort of about getting it right. I sat down with the staff today. We haven't put a timeframe

on it yet (but) not before the bye.

"No surgery ... normal rehab and trying to get it right."

Hawthorn's bye week is round 11, so the earliest Rioli could return is the round 12 game against

C a r l t o n a t Docklands.

It is the latest injury blow for the Hawks who last w e e k l o s t k e y d e f e n d e r R y a n Schoenmakers to a serious knee injury which will keep him out for the season.

The Hawks have a 4-1 win-loss record so far this season and face

Adelaide away on Saturday.E l s e w h e r e , C a r l t o n

midfielder Bryce Gibbs is expected to miss at least one game with a hamstring strain picked up in the Blues' win over Adelaide at the MCG.

Port Adelaide defender Jackson Trengove will miss an unspecified number of games after it was determined he needed surgery on his fractured right foot following the Power's stunning win over West Coast on Saturday night.

Dear Martha,

I would like to comment on your column in last week's paper- 333. You only r e f e r t o t w o people, the attached person & the single person, well what about the attached person's partner? There is generally a reason why someone would cheat & the partner can be the reason. This third person has not been factored into your justification for implying that the attached person is wrong, sometimes this is not the case & sometimes it is just the thrill of the chase. I have heard many tales being told about how many he or she has 'had' even down to a bet between people. When 'fault' is referred to it actually goes three ways not just the two you have discussed. I do agree with you- once a cheater always a cheater.

ABBA reforming has mounted in the lead-up to the opening of a ABBA museum in Stockholm in May.

British bookmakers Paddy

A British bookmaker is taking bets on an ABBA comeback after singer Agnetha Faltskog hinted at a possible reunion for Sweden's most successful band.

Faltskog, who has come out of retirement to release a solo album called "A", was asked by German's Die Zeit Magazine if she would be open to an ABBA reunion and s h e r e s p o n d e d positively.

" M a y b e a charity concert? I would not say 'No' right away," she said.

Her former husband Bjorn Ulvaeus and his fellow ABBA songwriter Benny Andersson vowed in 2008 not to reform the group that broke up in 1982 after

Broncos will use Souths as form gaugeBrisbane will use Friday night's NRL blockbuster with premiership force South Sydney as a measuring stick t o t h e c l u b ' s s t e a d y improvement this month.

T h e B r o n c o s h a v e recovered from a worrying 1-3 start to the 2013 season with a hat-trick of wins over the Gold Coast, North Queensland and Wests Tigers.

But they believe their showdown with a white hot Souths, who out-muscled Manly in a classic clash last weekend, will tell them much more about how far they've come and still need to go.

S u c h a m o u t h -watering clash, featuring a galaxy of representative stars, has the pulling power to pack Suncorp Stadium.

Brisbane officials would be bitterly disappointed with anything less than a 40,000-plus turnout given the club's strong recent form and Souths' impressive playing roster which includes Greg Inglis, the superstar the Broncos thought they'd signed a few years ago.

"The last three weeks has certainly given us some stability and some momentum but we

certainly understand the magnitude of the task this week against Souths," said Broncos chief executive Paul White.

"Clearly it's the opinion of most good critics that South Sydney and Melbourne are the two benchmark teams.

"This is our chance to show we can compete with a team the calibre of Souths.

"They'll come up here at full strength and we've got the majority of our players back so it represents a wonderful battle between some of the game's best athletes."

Brisbane's forwards have picked things up considerably since a heartening loss to Melbourne in round four, playing a lot more directly which has allowed halves Peter Wallace and

Scott Prince to get the attack firing.

"Sammy Thaiday and Corey Parker are leading the way in the forwards, Hodgo (Justin Hodges) is doing a terrific job in the backs and Lexi (Alex Glenn) and Gillo (Matt Gillett) are playing

off the back of that," said White.

"Hoffy (Josh Hoffman), Reedy (Jack Reed) and Corey Norman are al l benefiting from them so it's starting to work nicely."

Whi te said coach Anthony Griffin, who had some crit ics after last season's fade out and the slow start to 2013, deserved a lot of credit.

"He keeps his head in the tough times which allows

everyone else to keep their heads," he said.

"He's hard but he cares about his players and they know that and they all want to play for him.

" N o b o d y w a s m o r e disappointed with how our season finished last year than Hook (Griffin).

“You want honesty and accountability and I think Griffin has them in spades."

Simply Red was an English soul band that sold more than 50 million albums over a 25-year career. Their style drew upon influences ranging from blue-eyed soul, New Romantic, and rock to reggae and jazz. From their early days, the main driving force behind the band was singer Mick Hucknall, who, by the time the band was disbanded in 2010, was the only original member left. At the 1992 and 1993 Brit Awards they received the award for Best British Group.

Simply Red's origination dates from a 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the many young music fans present, along with Mark E. Smith of The Fall as well as original members of the bands Joy Division, The Smiths, and Buzzcocks. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose 7-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, "Holding Back the Years".

After the demise of The Frantic Elevators, Hucknall linked up with manager Elliot Rashman. By early 1985, Hucknall and Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name Red (after Hucknall's nickname, denoting his hair colour). The name Simply Red came about when the manager of a local venue was confused about the band's name and Hucknall replied that it was "Red,

simply Red." The resulting misnomer was printed on publ ic i ty posters as "Simply Red," and the name stuck.

The initial Simply Red line-up consisted of Mick Hucknall (vocals), David Fryman (guitar), Tony Bowers (bass), Fritz McIntyre (keyboards and vocals), Tim Kellett (brass and live backing vocals], and Chris Joyce (drums). Bowers and Joyce had

both previously been members of post-punk bands The Durutti Column and The Mothmen; Kellett had also been a member of The Durutti Column, though not at the same time as Bowers and Joyce.

Several low-charting singles would follow for the band. Among the comparative flops was a re-recording of the Frantic Elevators' "Holding Back the Years", done up in a new soul-ballad style arrangement. Released as Simply Red's third single in 1985, the track initially placed outside the UK top 50. However, upon being re-released in 1986, "Holding Back The

Years" became a major hit, peaking at #1 in Ireland, #2 in Great Britain, #3 in the Netherlands, #20 in Italy and later #1 in the United States. The song established Simply Red as a household name.

Simply Red's second album, 1987's Men and Women, saw the band adopting bowler hats and colorful suits instead of their earlier ragamuffin look. As well, the introspection and social commentary of their debut album was replaced by a blue-eyed soul sound with funk influences. Veteran Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier co-authored two tracks with Hucknall for the album—these tracks were credited to 'Hucknall/Dozier/Hucknall' in the original album credits, in homage to the famous Motown writing team of Holland/Dozier/Holland.

The album's lead single "The Right Thing" was another international hit, charting in the top 40 throughout Europe and North America. Several follow-up singles also met with modest success in the UK and elsewhere.

Lyrics – For Your BabiesYou've got that look again

The one I hoped I had when I was a ladYour face is just beaming

Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller-coastingAnyway the four winds that blow

They're gonna send me sailing home to youOr I'll fly with the force of a rainbow

The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyesYou know I'd do most anything you want

Hey I, I try to give you everything you needI can see that it gets to you

I don't believe in many thingsBut in you I do

Her faith is amazingThe pain that she goes through contained in the hope for you

Your whole world has changedThe years spent before seem more cloudy than blue

In many ways your baby's controllingWhen you haven't laid down for daysFor the poor no time to be thinking

They're too busy finding waysYou know I'd do most anything you want

Hey I, I try to give you everything you needI'll see that it gets to you

I don't believe in many thingsBut in you I do

You know I'd do most anything you wantEveryday I, I try to give you everything you need

We'll always be there for youI don't believe in many things

But in you I do

Grieving Cowboys remember Elisala

Elisala, who made his Test debut for Samoa against Tonga 10 days ago, had been admitted to Mackay Base Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning, having played for the Mackay Cutters on Saturday.

"Right now football has taken a back seat and we're in the process of looking after all our players and staff," said Henry.

"It's been an emotional couple of days for everyone but our main priority has been Alex's immediate family and the boys who were down in Mackay at the weekend playing for the Cutters.

"We've done the best we can catering for those men and also looking after players and staff who were back here."

Cowboys football manager Peter Parr said the club had lost one of its most popular players.

"Alex could be cheeky but he was talented, very popular and a good young man," said Parr.

"That's how I and many other will remember him."Henry said the Logan Brothers junior had come to

the Cowboys' attention when he watched a schoolboys game at Dairy Farmers Stadium.

"Alex was playing in the centres and he stood right out," said Henry.

"We didn't really have him on our radar but we certainly did after that game."

Elisala's toughness helped him work his way into the forwards and eventually he settled on playing hooker, where he was earmarked for an NRL future.

"He was certainly a player with a lot of promise on our books," said Henry.

"He had a bit of rogue about him, but he was a very likeable young guy.

"He was a good trainer and a good boy to have around."

Henry said the players would have all the support they needed from the club and the community.

"But the competition doesn't stop and we've got a game of footy (against Parramatta on Saturday) so we have to regroup and re-focus which is going to be difficult for different players to handle," he said.

"We'll speak to them and make some decisions in a few days.

North Queensland coach Neil Henry says football has taken a back seat at the NRL club as devastated players and staff come to grips with the shock death of promising young player Alex Elisala.

Elisala's family made the agonising decision to turn off the 20-year-old's life support on Monday afternoon.

Reverse extinction redo the dodo?Woolly mammoths stomp through the Siberian tundra as the giant moa strides the forest floor of New Zealand and Tasmania's dog-like "tigers" stalk their prey under the cover of night.

This is not a snapshot of times past, nor next year's sequel to Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park."

Instead, it is a scenario that some bio geneticists see as plausible in our own lifetimes, the resurrection of species driven to extinction, sometimes thousands of years ago.

Next Thursday will be 60 years since Francis Crick and James Watson published their paper unveiling the structure of DNA, the double-helix genetic code for life.

Today, some experts believe that by harnessing this breakthrough knowledge, the first extinct species could be revived within years.

They could be cloned from genetic material teased from preserved t issues, wi th the reprogrammed egg implanted in a cousin species.

Farther down the road, other species could live again through artificially-reconstituted sequences of their DNA, goes the argument.

"For the gastric frog it would take maybe a year or two years. For a mammoth maybe 20, 30 years, maybe sooner," evolut ionary geneticist Hendrik Poinar of Canada's McMaster University said of ongoing "de-extinction" efforts.

I n 2 0 0 9 , r e s e a r c h e r s announced they had cloned a bucardo, also called a Pyrenean Ibex, using DNA taken from the last member of this family of Spanish mountain goats before she died in 2000.

This was the first cloned animal born from an extinct subspecies, but the success was mixed the kid, borne by a domestic goat, died within 10 minutes from a lung abnormality.

Just last month, a team at Australia's University of New South Wales said they had cloned embryos of the gastric brooding frog which died out in 1983 and was named for its weird reproductive technique of

swallowing its eggs, brooding them in its stomach and then spitting out the offspring.

The cloned embryos all died within a few days.

Australian teams are also working on reviving the Tasmanian tiger with DNA obtained from an ethanol-preserved pup of the dog-like, marsupial predator that died out in the 1930s.

In Japan, geneticists said in 2011 they planned to use DNA from frozen carcasses to resurrect within six years the woolly mammoth which died out during the last Ice Age.

And in Br i ta in , Oxford University scientists have obtained genetic data from museum-held remains of the dodo, the flightless Indian Ocean island bird hunted to extinction by 1680.

S c i e n t i s t s b e l i e v e reconstruction would be feasible for most animals for which DNA has survived, possibly going back 200,000 years a limit that would exclude a "Jurassic Park"-like revival of the dinosaurs.

The DNA sample would have to be well preserved and techniques would have to improve to reduce the risk of deformity, miscarriage and premature death, a characteristic of animal cloning today.

"The way it is going now, I can see why people would imagine it (de-extinction) is possible," said Poinar.

"I could envision that if there were no laws preventing it and the ethics had been worked, out, swathes o f land in S iber ia repopulated with mammoths and cave lions.

"The discussion is really: 'Should we?'"

London School of Economics sociologist Carrie Friese fears that ethics have been left by the wayside in the rush to resurrect.

"My concern is that the focus is too much on: 'Can we do this?' rather than what we do with the living being that is the result," she said.

Many animals went extinct exactly because their natural habitats were destroyed, said Friese.

Lacking a broad gene pool to

adapt to the wild, their cloned progeny could find themselves doomed to life as museum exhibits. Nor would they have authentic parents to socialise them or teach them to how to fly, forage or hunt.

"An animal is more than its genome," said Friese. "How does a dodo learn to be a dodo?"

Stanford University bioethicist Hank Greely is one of those who enthusiastically favour species resurrection.

"I think the strongest reason to do it is just that it would be awesome," he said. "It would be seriously cool."

But he also cautioned against inflicting inappropriate, excessive pain and suffering in the scientific quest.

For this and other reasons, Neanderthal cloning, which would most l ikely involve a human surrogate, remains off limits even though high quality genetic data is available.

Others say de-extinction efforts divert time and money from preserving endangered species.

"Reconstitution of extinct species is of limited conservation value and could even be a distraction," said Colman O Criodain of conservation group WWF.

But there are also potential benefits: a harvest of knowledge from studying living versions of extinct animals, and potential environment spinoffs too.

Some bel ieve returning mammoths to Siberia could turn the barren, mossy tundra back into the fertile grasslands it was thousands of years ago.

And technology may help us develop methods to add genetic diversity for species on the brink today.

Transparent debate, not scientific stealth or hubris, offers the only path through this ethical minefield, said Poinar.

"What it really comes down to is having a very poignant and honest discussion about what really are the reasons, what are the pros and what are the cons of it," he said.

Mormon bishop brandishes Samurai swordA Mormon bishop armed with a Samurai sword came to the defence of his neighbour in a Salt Lake City suburb by helping to chase away a man who had accosted the woman, police said.

The 37-year-old s u s p e c t , G r a n t Eggertsen, later turned himself in to authorities and was booked into jail on suspicion of robbery, burglary, trespassing and stalking, said local po l i ce spokesman L i e u t e n a n t J u s t i n Hoyal.

T h e S a m u r a i s w o r d - w i e l d i n g Mormon bishop, Kent Hendrix, 47, said his son alerted him that a woman neighbour was in trouble outside Hendrix's home in the Salt Lake City suburb of East Millcreek.

Eggertsen had approached the woman as she exited her home, Hoyal said. He grabbed her house keys and tried to get into the house, police said.

The woman ran away,

screaming for help, and several neighbour's responded to her plea, Hoyal said.

Hendrix, who teaches martial arts, grabbed the 29-inch (74-cm) carbon steel Samurai sword he keeps next to his bed and ran to the woman's aid. He

said that when he came face to face with the suspect, the man stopped in his tracks.

"He was kind of taken aback to have this sword drawn on him and he jumped back," said Hendrix, who is a bishop in charge of his local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation.

"He said, 'I'm leaving,' and turned and ran, so I ran after him. I

didn't want him to get away anonymously," Hendrix said.

The man then fled in his car, Hendrix said.

Hoyal conf i rmed that Hendrix used the Samurai sword to come to the defence of his neighbour.

Eggertsen and the woman, who has not been identified, had previously worked at the same company, Hoyal said. Their p r o f e s s i o n a l r e l a t i o n s h i p h a d turned sour and the woman had obtained a p r o t e c t i v e o r d e r against the man, he said.

T h e w o m a n suffered only minor injuries, Hoyal said.

Eggertsen was in jail on bail of $555 and could not be reached for comment. It was unclear if he has an attorney.

Hendrix called the incident an "interfaith effort" to apprehend the suspect, saying that Catholic and Protestant neighbours were also involved.

Lotto winner used footy jumper numbersA Morley man who played his favourite AFL jumper numbers has become a million-dollar Lotto winner.

The man said he had been playing the numbers for the past five months.

They delivered him Division 1 Lotto luck in last week's Wednesday draw.

"After the first few draws I thought the numbers were a bit useless but I had this feeling that I

had to keep playing them," he said.

"It was definitely worth sticking with them."

He said the win would set him up for life. He plans to buy his first home and travel.

"I can now buy something closer to my dream home," he said. "I never imagined I would be in this position."

The winning ticket was bought from Lotterywest's Play Online service.

$1.5m compensation payout for man scared of frogsPAULl Marinaccio Sr. traces his fear of frogs to a childhood incident in Italy w h e n a m a n h o l d i n g bullfrogs chased him away after he'd wandered from the vineyard where his parents worked.

Decades later, he found himself describing his phobia to a jury, calling himself "a prisoner in my own home" after runoff water from a nearby development turned his 40-acre property into wetlands and inundated it with frogs.

"I am petrified. I go home at night and I can't get in my garage because of the frogs," Mr Marinaccio testified in 2009. "They're right in front of the damn door, OK?"

It was part of a seven-year l e g a l f i g h t i n v o l v i n g M r Marinaccio, the town of Clarence in upstate New York, and a developer that finally ended last month when the state's highest court ruled that Mr Marinaccio, who was awarded $US1.6 million ($1.54 million) in compensation after the 2009 trial, is not entitled to an additional $250,000 in punitive damages.

M r M a r i n a c c i o s u e d Clarence, a Buffalo suburb, and

Kieffer Enterprises Inc. after r u n o f f d i v e r t e d o n t o M r Marinaccio's property from a new Kieffer subdivision turned it into wetlands. A town engineer initially said the water would flow into a ditch elsewhere on Kieffer p roper ty. The town la te r discovered the ditch was actually on Mr Marinaccio's property, and that it was too small to handle the flow of water.

Lawyers on both sides said Mr Marinaccio's frog testimony amounted to just moments of a more than three-week trial and may not have affected the jury's award. The Court of Appeals,

however, referred to it in a five-page decision in which it determined that whi le Mr Marinaccio had been wronged, the developer hadn't acted maliciously.

"This newly created wetland caused mosquitoes to breed and frogs to gather on plaintiff's property, about which plaintiff is

particularly phobic," the court wrote in an opinion dated March 21. "Consequently, plaintiff had problems traversing his property without the assistance of his family and friends, whom plaintiff would often call on to remove frogs from his driveway and near the door of his home."

"I'm petrified of the little creatures," Mr Marinaccio, 65 said

A lower court jury returned a verdict of $1.3 million against the town and $328,400 against K ie f fe r fo r compensa to ry damages, as well as $250,000 in punitive damages against Kieffer.

In reversing the punitive damages, the Court of Appeals said they are awarded only when there is evidence "of spite or malice, or a fraudulent or evil motive on the part of the defendant, or such a conscious and deliberate disregard of the interests of others that the conduct may be called willful or wanton."

As part of a post-verdict agreement, the town will dig ditches to help dry out Mr Marinaccio's land.

The property owner said his plans involve much bigger creatures than frogs.

Man dressed as Cookie Monster arrested over $2 photo scam

A man dressed as the Cookie Monster has been arrested in New York and charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, was taken into custody on several charges, among them hostile begging.

Police said the Mexican man, who did not enter a plea after being arrested, asked a

Connecticut family to pose for a picture in Times Square and then tried to get them to pay $US2 ($A1.93) for it. He was reportedly enraged when the family refused.

The Cookie Monster stunt is the latest in a string of similar attempts on the part of costumed characters aiming for paid photo ops in tourist-heavy New York City.

This Aussie cattle dog can balanceJACK has an extraordinary ta lent . The bandanna-wearing pooch can balance pretty much anything on his h e a d , f r o m b i s c u i t s t o glasses of water. Clever boy!

U s i n g j u s t p o s i t i v e reinforcement, lots of love and affection, the owners of this incredibly talented pup have taught him to balance ordinary household objects on his head.

Not just that, t h o u g h , J a c k manages to remain dignified and adorable the whole time.

From wine bottles to kettles to frying pans, there's not much that Jack can't balance on his head.

Jack's owners decided to share their images online before taking requests for objects for Jack to balance.

They promise that Jack

wasn't forced or hurt in any way during the making of this series and that he was praised and rewarded the whole time.

When asked how he got Jack so well trained the owner,

doigoid replied,"My girlfriend is really good

with animals. When we first adopted him she told me "just always positively reinforce him

w h e n h e d o e s good", so we have.

"We reward h i m f o r g o o d b e h a v i o r s (sometimes with treats, but mostly with praise). If he doesn't understand what we're asking, instead of scolding him, we just ask again until he gets it or try to teach him another trick that's

easier."He is a very happy, smart

guy!" The grand finale was Jack's own balancing act, perched atop of his owners legs.

A thief with a soft-hearted streak, who inadvertently nabbed some cremated r e m a i n s a l o n g w i t h thousands of rare gems in a t ruck burg lary in Washington state, has anonymously mailed back the ashes to their owner.

The truck owner had been golfing in a Tacoma suburb when his vehicle was broken into by a thief who stole a briefcase filled with 3,000 prized Oregon sunstone gemstones, more than 30 silver and gold sunstone rings and a bracelet with 34 multi-hued stones, said Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer.

Also taken was a green suitcase containing the cremated remains of the truck owner's son,

he said. Days later, the thief anonymously mailed back the

ashes to an address on the truck owner's business card, which had also been taken.

"The case is unique

because of the high dollar amount of the gems and because

you've got a criminal, a thief, who has somewhat of a heart," Troyer said, without giving a value for the stolen valuables.

The types of Oregon gemstones stolen are popular for jewel lery, especially in the Pacific Northwest, said Steve Flock, a B u r e a u o f L a n d Management geologist in Lakeview, Oregon. They are found near the Oregon towns of Plush, Burns and at the Ponderosa Mine, he said.

It was unclear if the thief acted alone or had an

accomplice, and Troyer said the thief likely "got lucky at random" in finding the gems.

This is it for Super Rugby: SmithBrumbies star George Smith, who will break the franchise games record against the Crusaders this weekend, said he has no plans to play Super Rugby beyond this season.

Smith is contracted t o J a p a n e s e c l u b Suntory Sungoliath for this season and next season - he is currently on loan to his old side in Canberra.

The round 12 clash at Canberra Stadium will be openside flanker Smith's 137th game for the Brumbies, breaking the previous record held by George Gregan.

Fittingly, Smith's record-breaking game will come against for the Brumbies against the Crusaders, the team that played the Brumbies in three straight Super Rugby grand finals in the early 2000s.

Smi th has sa id tha t breaking the record meant "a hell of a lot" to him, having been with the franchise on and off since 1999.

"To be a one-club person within Australia is very important to me," Smith said.

"It shows that I'm very loyal to the team that I do play in and also to the organisation.

"To play for the Brumbies is only a privilege that few get to do - to reach this milestone is fantastic."

Smith has been in excellent form since returning to the Brumbies, leading to speculation of a Wallabies call-up for the Lions tour.

His dynamic play has also led people to think there could be more to come beyond his guest stint this year, but Smith said his thinking was clear - for now.

"At this stage, no," he said when asked about the possibility of another season in Super Rugby next year.

"I can't envisage myself

playing another season but anything (can) happen.

"There are no plans to return to Super Rugby next season."

He said he was energised playing with younger players, even if some of them had only

been in primary school when he made his debut.

"I got reminded of that today, it's nice I hear that they put my poster on their walls (at school)," he said.

"To play alongside these guys as I said energises me and my training methods ... it's great to be a part of this."

He refused to put a timeframe on retirement, saying he would continue as long as he enjoyed the game

and remained competitive."I'm 32 at the moment and

not too many players go beyond their mid 30s," he said.

Smith did not see himself going into coaching when he does hang up the boots, but was keen to maintain links to the game.

"In terms of a mentor to young players I could definitely do that," he said.

"I'd like to pass on some of the things I've learned through my rugby career."
