Recently I have been making cheesecakes out of packets, something I can't get enought of. After reading the lowdown on them, some things came out in the wash. It was originally invented by a Greek called Aegimus in the 5th century BC, who was a physician & is creditied with being the first man to realise the pulse. Also there was rumour of the inventor living 200 years. They called their cheesecakes Libum & Placenta. My guess, is that if there is any element of truth about the long living thing, perhaps to steer clear of the packet ones... However they all taste good to me :)

Interestingly, the other day. Whilst performing some duties, had a mishap with a 6" grinder in the face. Basically, while grinding/preping a job, the grinder kicked back right in the face, full on. It had the wire-brush attachment on. At first, I thought, oh-dear, I think perhaps, I may have just gored myself, but after the 10 second shock, whilst standing on a ladder incidentally, I realised that indeed, no goring had occured and merely was left, with a slight scrape, probably on par with a decent shaving nik. The rest of the day was spent wondering what would have become had the outcome been different... For the record, the grinder became tangled on my shirt also and came to a stop after nearly chewing through the material. It was not particularly anyone's fault, grinders can kick back when using the wire, esp.

A remarkable discovery, with regards to graphite, was discovered a few years back by some foreign scientists working in the UK. The substance was named graphine, which seems unbelievable in the manner it was stumbled upon. Apparently, they used a piece of scotch tape and stuck it onto a piece of graphite, then studied the tape very closely, using a variety of measurement techniques, finding that at atomic level, the trace/lattice of graphite was extremely solid with recent tests suggesting that graphine could be 200 times stronger than steel, which is very interesting. There is a little more to it than this, but not much.

My head is sore. I am struggling to find the point of anything anymore. Apart from running round town on a moped avoiding humans, there is little else to do here apart from soaking up intense amounts of heat. I suppose there is far worse situations, it just doesn't seem right. The country is very big, with this state QLD being more like the USA than the USA itself... A thing that is puzzling me badly, with this being an military town, is the grade of hardware being trained on. Every day, old choppers and jets skirts along the sky, making tonnes of noise to the population below. It is outdated, in regards to. Anyone that knows about this stuff, knows that most airforces were severely downmanned in favour of unmanned drones being used for air missions. I recall, back at the airbase somewhere in UK, an entire barracks being out of "work" due to this. Oh well, I guess it's just the way things are done here.

Recently, was watching the Ryder Cup golf on TV. There is a story attached to this event, which was named after Sam Ryder who sold plant seeds for a living... Worthy of note, not long ago, I saw advertised "all in one" golf club from an American vendor. After a little checking, it seems the basic original concept of this device is patented to an inventor known as Charles V. Winter, Barrington III back in 1941. I am unsure who this person is, the only slight resemblence I can see to this name was an American schoolteacher who was a physical exorcise instructor.

Finally after months of emails and general awareness, it transpires this miev is being launched this month down in Victoria for free trial to the smarter than average people, basically. The vehicle is around 4 years behind other countries launch, but that doesn't matter a toss. Everyone with half a brain wants one, but just can't either afford it, or locate it over here. Anyways, well done Mitsubishi, hopefully I can get one of these EV's at some point, I don't care who the manufacturer is.

Recently, I was having extreme difficulty obtaining a decent set of weights to lift at a justifiable pricerange. As mentioned, I had resorted to lifting a stone, which I returned the other night back, because somehow, the other day, when cleaning out a container, a set of old mining grinding balls had been lodged in the back for scrap. These make decent weights, not too heavy, perhaps a bit on the light side for me, but better than a stone, certainly.

Something which keeps arising, especially at work etc, guy talk, always crops up, talk of wars. My understanding of this, is that so called ww3, is a war of disinformation, and breakdown of basic humanity, which, you will no doubt find a regular occurance. So, in effect, I guess currently, despite other campaigns utilising combat which are, or have been conducted, basically, ww3, is happening around us. It can be as simple, as basically not giving that piece of info, or recommendation to someone. It is crappy times we live in.

Something I tried to locate today with tremendous difficulty as usual, is a device called a powerball. This fitness gadget is over 10 years old, however became popular again about a year or two ago in Europe. The local sports shops have hardly heard of these here, apparently one place stocks them and yes, you guessed it, they want top $... Oh well, will probably just have to make do with lifting the stone again for a while. The reason, i'm into this stuff just now, is, over the space of a year, I lost over 12 1/2 stone by doing nothing more than basically eating just salads and working manual style. Now that all the weight is gone, I have developed slack skin esp. on the gut area, which I could either have surgically removed or try a more basic approach of contiunuing with exorcise like weights/crunches and applying a moisturiser often. I learned that skin has a basic memory which can stretch and return to a fair degree of it's original state. This could take months or perhaps a year or two, before I get the desired result. Anything beats surgery, which I truly can't be bothered with.
