Visitors from as far as Australia attended the Pukerau Cemetery upgrade celebration on Sunday.
For the past six years, the Pukerau Cemetery Support Group Trust has been overseeing a $65,000 makeover of the facilities and grounds at the cemetery.
The project included removing trees, building a kiosk with information panels and erecting a new fence around the Catholic section of the cemetery.
The people buried in 43 unmarked graves in the area have been identified and memorial stones installed.
The celebration started at the Catholic block of the cemetery with a karakia by Hokonui Runanga cultural adviser Matu-Taera Coleman-Clarke.
The Reverend Michael Welsh, now of Fairlie, who spent holidays in Pukerau, blessed the cemetery, and the previously unmarked graves had new headstones unveiled.
The group then went to the main block of the cemetery where more karakia were said, new headstones unveiled by descendants and trust members and the Reverend Ross Scott, now of Wellington, who grew up in Pukerau, blessed the kiosk.
Former New Zealand prime minister Dame Jenny Shipley, whose father, the late Len Robson, was a former Pukerau Presbyterian Church minister, cut the ribbon to open the information kiosk.
The Last Post was played by Gore resident Vic Herring.
Guests then went to the Pukerau Community Centre where speeches by guests, including former Gore mayor Tracy Hicks, Southland MP Joseph Mooney and Gore and Districts Memorial RSA padre Bruce Cavanagh, were given and afternoon tea was served.
Trust chairman John Falconer said after six years it was good to be able to celebrate the work completed at the cemetery.
‘‘How special has it been to have people come from Australia, to come from . . . all around New Zealand.’’
It was especially good to have descendants at the event from those who had been buried in the previously unmarked graves, Mr Falconer said.
Dame Jenny said she was impressed by the upgrade.
‘‘I think it’s a reflection of the Pukerau community and its strengths.’’
The kiosk commemorating those who served their country and the early history of the area was ‘‘beautiful’’, she said.
Her father’s first appointment had been in Pukerau and the family had a strong connection to the area.
‘‘It’s fun to be back to celebrate.’’

4 edition of David Balfour found in the catalog.
Robert Louis Stevenson
April 1998 by Acclaim Classics & Young Readers .
Written in English
|The Physical Object|
David is talking to Colin Roy Campbell, the King's Factor who has been oppressing Alan's people, when the man is shot to death, and David is chased as an accomplice. Ransome is younger than David Balfour, but has led a tough life at sea. While there, he meets the beautiful Catriona Drummond. That's a' that there is to women; and you seem to be such a gomeral that ye cannae tell the tane frae the tither. David insists he will not marry Catriona against her will. Louis has described the hero of this story as a compelling and horrifying study of the fiction of the nineteenth century.
David promises to provide them with a stipend. He has written some of the best sci-fi books there is such as Dark Matter and Recursion. A lawyer cautions the fugitive not to turn himself in to the authorities, without being free of charges. Author Louis had a great interest in music and liked to play flageolet, violin, flute, mandolin, guitar, clarinet, and piano. David is allowed to stay and soon discovers evidence that his father may have been older than his uncle, thus making David the rightful heir to the estate. Prestongrange tells him it will be useless, however, since in the eyes of the court James Stewart is already a dead man.
He met a number of people who inspired him to develop his novels. A number of his documents were given away in auction in the year Genre[ edit ] Kidnapped is a historical romancebut the time it was written attitudes towards the genre had evolved from the earlier insistence on historical accuracy to one of faithfulness to the spirit of a bygone age. Most of his time at the university was spent with the students of a debating club.

Great Events of the 20th Century
When it is over, he has become a much wiser and mature person. A ship's cabin boyRansome, arrives the next day and tells Ebenezer that Captain Hoseason of the brig Covenant needs to meet him to discuss business.
And after the truth came out, there was a long period of dissent between Louis and his parents. He acts very suspiciously and David deduces that his uncle may be keeping his inheritance from him. James, meanwhile is ill in Paris, and dies after Catriona and David visit. The eighteen -year -old needs help David Balfour also known as Catriona is a sequel to the great classic Kidnapped though not as good, it still delivers excitement.
Alan and David Balfour book then begin their flight through the heatherhiding from government soldiers by day. More details. Then you need to read the Coffeehouse Mysteries. While David knows the allegations are false, he cannot fathom how Ebenezer came to hold the estate.
David awakens, bound hand and foot, in the hold of the ship, and learns that the captain plans to sell him into slavery in the Carolinas.
Later, Shelton finds himself drawn very deep into the conspiracy. Alan now visits David. However, his praise and popularity returned soon when writers like Oxford Inking labeled Louis as a writer, having a high level of imaginative power and literary skills.
Still he visits the powerful Lord Advocate Mr. You might give up on it very quickly if you are not a confident reader. Author Louis had a great interest in music and liked to play flageolet, violin, flute, mandolin, guitar, clarinet, and piano. Alan appears and helps David to escape. More is in a bad situation in jail, also there Alan Breck Stewart James of the Glens going on trial soon for killing an important man, in fact the same case as David's.
Of course nobody listens to an attorney and the boy doesn't eithernaturally. However, the language is quite hard to understand at times because it includes lots of Scottish words and is old fashioned so you have to be prepared to slow down to work out the meaning of some sentences.
David and the lawyer hide in bushes outside Ebenezer's house while Alan speaks to him, claiming to be a man who found David nearly dead after the wreck of the Covenant and says he is representing folk holding him captive in the Hebrides.
During the s, author Louis traveled extensively in various parts of Europe, which inspired him to take up writing. Since Kidnapped is, in many ways, a paean to the Scottish Highland way of life that was quickly vanishing, if not gone, by Stevenson's time.
Good follow up to the original by the talented, maybe even the genius of Robert Louis Stevenson. In the words of a critic writing in Bentley's Miscellanythe historical novelist "must follow rather the poetry of history than its chronology: his business is not to be the slave of dates; he ought to be faithful to the character of the epoch".
Harris resides in Magnolia, Arkansas, where she is the senior warden of St. In the edition that I read there were some useful pages at the end which told you about Scottish history to help you understand the story.

The first is a letter from Alan saying he may visit. Most of his time at the university was spent with the students of a debating club. David and Alan barricade themselves in the round house, where Alan kills the murderous Shuan, and David wounds Hoseason.

When it comes to GPS golf watches, both Bushnell and Garmin have become trusted brands among golfers around the world. In this post, I will be comparing the Bushnell Neo XS vs Garmin S4 to find out which is the best option for golfers.
These GPS watches can make a big difference in your score at the end of the day. Two of the most important factors to consider before buying either the Bushnell Neo or the Garmin S4 is the accuracy and the battery life. The Bushnell model claims 16 hours battery life while the Garmin has a slightly less impressive 10 hours of battery life. Let’s be honest, if your round of golf is taking more than 10 hours, you’re doing something wrong.
Both Bushnell and Garmin is well known for their accuracy when it comes to measuring distance. Garmin comes from the world of GPS, where Bushnell has long been one of the leading manufacturers of laser rangefinders. You can rest assured that both of these models will be very accurate when determining the distance to the flag. Both the Neo XS and the S4 will show the distance to the front, middle and back of the green, with the Garmin S4 you have the ability to drag the pin to the location of the day for even greater accuracy. This feature sounds great, but it only really matters for the scratch golfer.
Bushnell Neo XS Vs Garmin S4
In conclusion, there is very little to choose between Bushnell Neo XS vs Garmin S4. Both of these watches are easy to use, and can be used right out of the box. If you don’t want to charge your watch regularly, the Bushnell Neo XS is the right option for you. If you prefer all the latest technology, and the ability to pinpoint the distance to the flag, the Garmin S4 is the right choice for you.

Cape Crusaders shine
Promising Aussie Rules talent is emerging from Queensland's most remote communities with six players from Cape York and the Torres Strait selected in the Queensland Country Kookaburras Under 14s team on Sunday.
The Cape York Crusaders won three out of four games at a regional carnival in Mackay on the weekend, narrowly losing to the Cairns Lions in their final match.
The Crusaders had never played as a team before and held their first training session in Cairns on Thursday before embarking on a 10-hour road trip to Mackay early Friday morning.
The trip was the first time Saibai Island's George Wosomo had ever been further south than Weipa and several players had not travelled as far south as Mackay before.
Coach Kane Richter says the team's effort was outstanding throughout the trip.
"The group was fantastic and really exceeded my expectations as far as performance," he says. "It was one of the best under 14 groups we've had for a while.
"It's a hectic trip as far as travel but it was a relatively easy group to work with because their leadership and attitude was fantastic."
Myron Ahwang, Jonah Lui, Justin Hill, Laken Pearson, Lewis Fauid and Charles Gibuma will play for the Queensland Country Kookabburras in the coming months.
From there they have the chance to play for the state team.
Sam Davis travelled with AFL Cape York as a volunteer.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – A Good Samaritan in southwest Missouri is being hailed as a hero for jumping into an icy pond to pull two young women from a submerged car.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that the rescue happened about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday in Springfield. Donovan Hensley had just dropped off his wife at work when he saw skid marks leading into a pond and two women standing on a sinking vehicle.
He realized there was no time to call 911 and went into the water. He convinced the women to jump to him, one at a time. He helped both to shore, warmed them in his car, then drove them home. No one was hurt.
The driver, Amy Osborn, says she was trying to stop the car but it kept going.

These luxury homes on the Canada border will give you island envy
By KIRSTEN O'BRIENUpdated
When it comes to luxury island living, nothing beats the offerings of the San Juan Islands.
The archipelago between Washington and British Columbia has more 400 islands, 128 of which are named. The region is world famous for its fishing, boating and general sightseeing.
It's no surprise, then, that this naturally beautiful area attracts some serious luxury estates. This weekend, those estates will be on display for a luxury home tour hosted by Realogics Sotheby's International Realty Realty in collaboration with Windermere Real Estate/Orcas Island.
Sotheby's International Realty Realty and Windermere Real Estate recently provided a tour is for "qualified" buyers only. The homes range between $675,000 and a whopping $18 million. Guests can travel between the homes via yacht or chartered flight and can stay at the renowned Rosario Resort on Orcas Island.
Although each home is glorious in its own way, we selected some of our favorites above. Scroll through the slideshow above to take a virtual tour. Steve Miller's Friday Harbor estate, which first came on the market in June, is also part of the tour.
You can see them all with the virtual showcase.

Lesson No.1. Senators will vote along party lines and/or in coalition with other parties and depending whether they are up for re-election soon or not. Hence, the senators cannot be expected to render impartial judgement on an Impeachment Trial. They will vote in the same or similar manner as they do when it comes to legislations. Hence, future constitutional reforms may address the subject of the Impeachment process. The shift to the Parliamentary system will remove the senators who are elected nation-wide.
As expected, the Senators belonging to the Liberal Party voted for Conviction. The other senators who represented the swing votes in the verdict of the Impeachment Trial of Chief Justice Corona voted in favour of the winning side: conviction. There were senators in the Enrile-Villar group who met on a Sunday two days before Judgement Day who could have voted for Acquittal, but did not do so because they are not sure that they can muster the five (5) more votes needed to add the three sure votes of Senators Joker Arroyo, Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
Sen. Loren Legarda said that she has wanted to vote for acquittal, but she was alone in the group of seven senators who met that fateful Sunday of 27 May 2012. Senator Legarda could have voted for Acquittal if she wanted do and not worry about the 2013 Senatorial Elections because her second term will end next year. The same for her party-mate Sen. Manuel Villar, president of their Nacionalista Party.
However, the wife of Senator Villar will run for the Senate to replace him since, like Legarda, his second term will also end in 2013. Similarly for Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile (JPE), who will retire from politics next year, whose only son Jackie Enrile will run for the Senate to take his place. There are talks that JPE managed to obtain two concessions from President B.S. Aquino III: support for his son’s candidacy Senate next year and keeping his post as Senate President until 30 June 2013 to cap a “illustrious” political career at age 89. Early next year in 2013, the Filipino people will see on whether JPE sold his vote for a conviction or not when President Aquino makes the decision on the candidacy of the younger Enrile.
The two senators – Arroyo and Santiago – who voted for Acquittal will already end their second term in 2013. So while they are true to their convictions, it is also easier for them stand on their decision with No Elections next year to worry about. In the case of Sen. Bongbong Marcos, Jr. he is up for elections four years away in 2016. So it is also easier for him to make the “unpopular” vote of acquitting Chief Justice Corona with no elections to worry about in four years.
Lesson No. 2. An Impeachment Trial can Divide the Filipino People depending on the manner that the Impeachment was done at the House of Representatives and how the Prosecution will conduct their case. Likewise, the Verdict on the Impeachment Trial – Conviction or Acquittal – can Divide the Filipino people since there are two opposing views. Those who are in power are expected to use the vast resources of the national government to convict an Impeachable Public Official who belongs to the other side.
When there are two opposing views and camps, one side can be expected to be more vocal or rabid than the other. The other side can be more tolerant and will only articulate their position when asked, while the more vocal or rabid side can be intolerant of the other side and will try to impose on others their position or those they think they can influence. Those who are with the camp of the Prosecution can be sanctimonious in their decision and even invoking God to be on their righteous side.
To be Continued!

An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932 illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. Winner of the 2007 BookBrowse Award for Most Popular Book.
An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932, by the bestselling author of Riding Lessons.
When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.
Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.
This book is amazing. I love circus books I guess! This book is told from the point of view of Jacob set in modern time when he is in a nursing home and is either ninety or ninety three (he doesn’t remember) and also set in the 30s when Jacob worked for a circus. In modern times Jacob is a really terribly depressing, but also surprising funny character. The circus comes to town, just down the street from the nursing home, and it reminds Jacob of when he used to work at the circus during the Great Depression. The story is told beautifully. I love how it alternates between the past and the present, and how the story really unfolds. It was quite the page turner for me. I haven’t seen the movie, period films and romance films are not my usual forte, also I used to be deathly terrified of clowns (IDK why I am not anymore) but after reading this, I definitely want to check it out.

Warm water keeps summer species in the Sandy Strait
AFTER another blowy weekend, we managed a few days of good weather.
The fishing over the past few weeks has generally been good with some of our summer species sticking around with the warm water temps.
A few nice bream have been taken in the snags of the Burrum system with the mid reaches fishing the best.
Out the front, summer whiting have been taken on the beaches along with a few flathead.
Out wider the Burrum 8-Mile has produced some nice golden trevally and squire with a few diver whiting out the front of Dundowran.
The Wide Grounds were well in reach for many the past week, coral trout, sweetlip, hussar, parrot, snapper, cobia, scarlets and more all reported.
Fishing with live baits produced some nice trout with fish to 6kg reported.
Tuna were also about out wide and produced some great sport and fresh baits.
The local wrecks have turned up some big jew of late; live baits fished at night have been productive.
Snapper have been reported in smaller numbers also from the artificial reef.
Fishing with cut baits has produced a few sweetlip and blackall along the ledges with golden trevally also providing some great sport.
Tiger squid will also be worth a look as we move further into winter. Casting squid jigs around the rocky points should produce a few.
Winter whiting have been in numbers off Point Vernon, Dundowran and south of Round Island.
Live blood worms from Anglers Den in Urangan have been dynamite.
The Pier has produced some big Spanish mackerel, golden trevally and the odd jew at night.
Closer to the mainland, the first channel has been a good option for anglers wanting to target bream and whiting with some good specimens about.
The strait has been fishing well coming into winter.
The flats have produced some nice flathead along with the rock bars and points.
Jew have been active around the ledges of the island and in the mouth of the Mary. Chopper tailor and bream can also be found throughout the strait with the tailor being taken on trolled minnows.
Snapper numbers have still not arrived mostly due to the higher-than-average water temps.
Yakka schools are not here yet but when they turn up the snapper won't be far away.
Some good snapper have been taken out wider but only a few per session.
Tuna can also be found throughout the bay feeding on small bait.

The Dietitian's Guide to Eating Bugs by Daniel Calder is a comprehensive guide to the nutritional content of insects. He believes insect breeding and consumption are important elements sustainable living, particularly when it comes to complementing foraged plant material with meat products. Numerous insects contain nutrients similar to those found in more conventional livestock, except the feed to conversion ratio is much higher and they're much cheaper to breed. You can find the book at scribd. Also available in e-book format for $35.
I recently found out I’m allergic to many of the foods that I’ve consumed over the years and was recently told to eat strictly Paleo……..and for someone who needs a map and directions in her own kitchen, for someone who has singlehandedly kept the restaurant business in the black, that’s a pretty big expectation. This bread has saved me and my fiance in so many of those, “I can’t do this any longer” moments when we really miss the old way of eating. We cant recommend this bread enough! Thank you!
Don't go running away from this (slightly) longer list of ingredients just yet. These two-bite minis look—and taste—like something from the Cheesecake Factory, but they’re packed with good-for-you ingredients, like zucchini and cashews. They're worth every second (and every speckle of coconut sugar). Craving a caveman-size slab instead of these dainty bites? Just add the crust to a pie pan and make one big cheesecake instead.
I’m not a nutritionist, so this is just a rough estimate, but here is the nutrition breakdown for 1 serving (based on 10 servings per loaf): 239.4kcals, 11.4g carbs, 3.4g fiber, 8g net carbs, 19.3g fat, 7.9g protein. You can make the determination based on the macros as to whether or not you can fit this bread into a ketogenic lifestyle. I hope that helps!
I made this recently and it was fantastic! Thank you. Although I don’t usually eat dairy, I used Greek yogurt instead of coconut cream because of the calorie difference. I recalculated the loaf based on 10 slices and found that each slice was 186 calories, so it was much less than the 280 listed. I calculated 17.5 grams carbs, 4.1 grams fiber, 13.4 net carbs, and 10.2 grams fat. Of course, the calculations depend on the brands that you use. I used Bob’s Red Mill brand Golden Flax Seed Meal, Super Fine Almond Flour (but have ordered Wellbee’s for future use), and Arrow Root flour.
The Paleolithic Prescription: A Program of Diet & Exercise and a Design for Living by S. Boyd Eaton, M.D., Marjorie Shostak and Melvin Konner. This book, published in 1988, was the start of the Paleolithic diet movement. Its recommendations are not in line with what today is considered a paleo diet, as whole grain breads and pastas, legumes and some low fat dairy products are allowed. However, it is still a profoundly important book. Used books are available for a reasonable price.
I just made this tonight…I must say I was NOT holding out much hope, but O-M-G…it turned out delicious!! I didn’t have flax seeds (I used Chia seeds instead) and I didn’t have flaxseed meal…but had Flaxseed milled….and hey…it worked!! Thank you so much for the recipe. My only issue was that the top didn’t brown, it stayed kind of white-ish, I didn’t want to leave it in any longer cause I was afraid of over-cooking…any tips for getting the top to brown?
I love this recipe and I like to tweak things. I came up with a tweak to make banana bread. Since holiday baking is my weakness and I had an almost suicidal reaction to wheat (I really know I’m allergic now) I wanted some banana bread. I subbed 1 cup of almond flour to walnut flour, omitted the ACV, added sweetener to taste, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (sugar free) and 1 mashed banana. I LOVE banana so I also added a little banana flavoring. Baked up to a heavenly bread that I can eat without bloating and severe mood reactions!! I LOVE this site for recipes!! My next attempt will be either pumpkin bread or orange cranberry. Makes a great “I NEED SWEET” snack or breakfast as I’m zooming out the door.
Paleo eating lends itself to sandwiches, but many Paleo dieters go without because they think they can’t have bread. But with this bread specifically made to accommodate a sandwich, you can’t go wrong. Just make sure your sandwich is piled high with meat and vegetables, the two staples of the Paleo method of eating. The ingredients list on this bread is amazing, with real wholesome ingredients, and nothing artificial used. Coconut flour gets the call as the wheat replacement, and there’s even flax used so you’re getting a dose of omega-3s.
Five roots, both bitter and sweet, are staples in the Hiwi diet, as are palm nuts and palm hearts, several different fruits, a wild legume named Campsiandra comosa, and honey produced by several bee species and sometimes by wasps. A few Hiwi families tend small, scattered and largely unproductive fields of plantains, corn and squash. At neighboring cattle ranches in a town about 30 kilometers away, some Hiwi buy rice, noodles, corn flour and sugar. Anthropologists and tourists have also given the Hiwi similar processed foods as gifts (see illustration at top).
One flour you’ll definitely want to familiarize yourself with on Paleo is almond flour. It comes in handy in dozens of different baking applications and it provides a pretty darn good substitute to general purpose flour. This almond loaf was made using almond flour and a few select additional ingredients like coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. This recipe is good for showing you how easy it is to come up with a loaf of Paleo bread. It isn’t exactly rocket science so don’t be afraid to try it out if you’ve never made bread from scratch before.
I’m not a believer in vegan or Paleo diets. I believe in a healthy diet that leans somewhat in the vegetarian direction and I just became convinced of the need to eliminate wheat from my diet. I applaud this website and the author for providing me with the bread alternatives I was looking for. I also appreciated the open eclectic attitude of the author in including some items recommended by vegans. Still, I believe red meat should be avoided . Thank You.
Trying to devise an ideal diet by studying contemporary hunter-gatherers is difficult because of the great disparities that exist; for example, the animal-derived calorie percentage ranges from 25% for the Gwi people of southern Africa to 99% for the Alaskan Nunamiut. Descendants of populations with different diets have different genetic adaptations to those diets, such as the ability to digest sugars from starchy foods. Modern hunter-gatherers tend to exercise considerably more than modern office workers, protecting them from heart disease and diabetes, though highly processed modern foods also contribute to diabetes when those populations move into cities.

Fair warning: If feeling a stranger’s bare buttocks pressed into your upper back is more than you’re willing to risk for an evening of theater — if, perhaps, this is exactly the sort of personal-boundary crossing that creeps you out about immersive performance — then you may want to think carefully before deciding to see “Ubu Sings Ubu” at the Abrons Arts Center.
But do consider it. Loud, inspired and more than a little deranged, “Ubu Sings Ubu” mixes a Google Translate version of Alfred Jarry’s 1896 scatological satire, “Ubu Roi,” with songs written by the experimental rock band Pere Ubu. And it works. This is “Ubu” as punk cabaret, dynamic dance numbers and all. The show — smartly directed by Tony Torn, who also adapted the piece, and Dan Safer, who doubles as its choreographer — is presented by Presence Productions in association with Abrons, Verse Theater Manhattan and the Solo Foundation.
A healthy dose of Jarry’s naughtily anarchic spirit infuses this production, which stars Mr. Torn as Pa Ubu and the performance artist Julie Atlas Muz as Ma Ubu: a couple scheming their way around Eastern Europe, leaving a trail of blood. In fringed bra and muted red tutu over the aforementioned bare bottom, Ms. Muz makes a clever and mercurial Ma Ubu. Lady Macbeth-style, she uses sex and flattery to goad her “big buffoon” toward murder, power and riches.
A big buffoon he very much is. Mr. Torn plays Pa Ubu as an overgrown toddler, all selfishness and impulse: a casual barbarian with no horror of death as long as it’s not his own. “I go to war and I will kill everyone,” he exults, because it’s all just fun to him. His cape (costumes are by Deb O, with cape design by Ben Rosenberg) is made of stuffed animals, accented by a vivid pink strip of what looks like skinned Muppet.
The actors’ faces are painted, and the effect is carnivalesque. So is the atmosphere. When the four-piece live band cranks up, and hallucinatory projections by Kaz PS fill the big screen above them, Mr. Torn launches into Pere Ubu songs like “Final Solution” and “Ubu Dance Party.”
The other night, for an encore, Mr. Torn sang “Humor Me.” Where this show is concerned, that’s good advice.
