Conservative upper house MP Fred Nile has called for the same-sex adoption bill before NSW Parliament to be resubmitted to the lower house, saying the legislation will not succeed if another vote is held.
The bill passed the Legislative Assembly with a two-vote majority, but one MP was in hospital (Kevin Greene) and another (John Aquilina) was overseas. Both would have voted against the bill, Mr Nile said.
''It does raise the question: should this bill be resubmitted? It would then come down to a casting vote by the speaker.'' That would mean the bill would fail, in line with the views of most of the population, he said.
This old fuck wouldn't kick up a fuss if he won. What do you lot think? Is Fred Nile just a repressed old perv with no idea? Is same sex adoption bad?

As you approach the ghost town of Belchite in the Spanish province of Aragon the soil turns a deep red, almost like a sign that the place you are approaching is soaked in the blood of battle. Belchite is perhaps the most powerful reminder in Spain of the devastation that war (in this case the civil war of 1936 – 39) can bring to human populations. It remains today as it was at its surrender on 1 September 1937.

The Pacific Sun got hammered in heavy seas. This is the footage from inside.
I honestly thought that ships bolt their furniture down. Looks like I was wrong. Also, watch out for the lady face planting it in to a column. Comedy gold.
Big thanks to Mr Bungle.

In June, Los Angeles police launched an effort to clear Hollywood Boulevard of unlicensed Hollywood character impersonators, making dozens of arrests. These costumed superheroes were one of my favorite parts of the touristy part of Hollywood Boulevard. I loved watching the ridiculous costumed superheroes pose for photos with tourists near the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Jimmy Kimmel regularly featured these performers on his show, and a documentary was even made about the characters called Confessions of a Superhero.
The superheroes are fighting back, in court — launching a lawsuit against the city. A half dozen costumed characters showed up in front of City Hall on Tuesday to protest recent arrests by the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Royal Mail’s latest special-issue stamps, devoted to historic British railways, are designed to launch specially developed online content when a user snaps them using an image-recognition application available on iPhone or Android handsets.

A member of Iceland's parliament and prominent organiser for whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks has turned on the site's founder, Julian Assange, demanding that he step down over rape allegations made against him in Sweden.
Birgitta Jonsdottir told Internet news site The Daily Beast that she did not believe Assange's repeated assertion that the allegations of rape and molestation made against him were part of a US-backed smear campaign to distract attention from documents posted on the site laying bare US involvement in the war in Afghanistan and further promised revelations.
"I am not angry with Julian, but this is a situation that has clearly gotten out of hand," she told the site. "These personal matters should have nothing to do with WikiLeaks. I have strongly urged him to focus on the legalities that he's dealing with and let some other people carry the torch."
Another WikiLeaks organiser, speaking on condition that they remained anonymous, said that Assange's insistence on staying in charge of the site was creating "a mess for everyone".

Julian Assange, he knew what he was getting himself into, but i wonder if he though that it would go this far?

A Russian teenager is facing castration after being severely beaten by police in the Volga river town of Kstovo.
The doctors now treating the 17-year-old, Nikitin Kaftasev, "are not sure whether they will be able to save his male organs," the Committee Against Torture said in a statement.
Nikitin Kaftasev and a friend were detained and beaten by police on a street in the town centre, before being dragged to police headquarters where beatings continued for hours, the group said, citing the teen's testimony.
"The teenagers were subject to torture and ridicule. Nikitin was kicked in the groin," it said. "According to Nikitin, several policemen were present at the time."

This follows the European Commissions investigation into similar complaints.

Building a LEGO model or contraption by following the directions in the box is one thing, but it takes ingenuity and, yes, engineering ability to create an original LEGO composition. And there is no shortage of tinkerers determined to push the LEGO-mod envelope. The biggest drawback of the medium, according to LEGO artist Henry Lim, is also one of its most redeeming qualities. "If [the object] gets knocked over, it falls apart," he says. "However, it is made of LEGO, so it can be rebuilt."

Danielle Dax, is an experimental musician and producer most active from the late 1970s to the mid - 1990s. She was born in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
Dax first performance on stage in London was when she was a pre-teen. She sang in Benjamin Brittens Opera 'Noye's Fludde' (Noah's Flood), at the Royal Albert Hall. Preceeding this, the first time Dax had trod the boards was at the age of three as an Orange Jelly Baby on the Southend Bandstand.
During Danielles time in the avant garde new wave rock band, Lemon Kittens, she was included on the League of Gentlemen's 1981 eponymous album, performing vocals (credited as "Hamsprachtmusic") on the song "Minor Man". However, that song was not included when the album was released on CD as 'God Save The King'. Her artwork was kept for the cover. She also painted the cover for Robert Fripps solo album 'Let the Power Fall'. Dax also supplied vocals to an unreleased track by the Bombay Ducks that had her duetting with (although never meeting) Robert Wyatt.
When, in early 1982, Lemon Kittens went into 'extended hibernation' Dax embarked on her solo career, recording and producing the albums 'Pop-Eyes' (1983), 'Jesus Egg That Wept' (1984), and (1987) and various EPs on the label Awesome Records. In 1988 she signed with Sire Records, which released her double album 'Dark Adapted Eye', containing material from her previous recordings, such as the well-known song "Big Hollow Man", and included, amongst some, new and unreleased recordings old favourites such as "Cat-House", "White Knuckle Ride", "When I Was Young", "House Cat", "Whistling for His Love" and "Touch Piggy's Eyes".

Probably the only white Essex girl to have appeared both as a Jelly Baby and to go on to sing about 'branding niggers' as she does in this song. Strangely distorted blues, great for headphones. 'Jesus egg that wept' would be in my top 10 best albums, if you can find it, check it out.

Chickenfoot is an American hard rock supergroup, comprising ex-Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), solo musician Joe Satriani (guitar) and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.[1] The band released their self-titled debut album, Chickenfoot, on June 5, 2009. Regarding the band's status as a "supergroup", vocalist Sammy Hagar states: "We’re not a supergroup, we like hanging out together and the music is a bonus. We just happen to be in other groups.
Good solid rock. Whippersnappers need not listen as it contains no doof.
Chickenfoot is not a real chicken. He's a space chicken from a planet where pig demons rule! ...by Posted on 07-09-2010 03:03 PMCategories:
A German company that fired a man for the theft of 1.8 euro cents (two U.S. cents) worth of electricity had no grounds for sacking him, a court ruled, dismissing the firm's appeal against his reinstatement.
Network administrator Oliver Beel lost his job after charging his Segway, a two-wheeled electric vehicle, at work in May 2009. After he connected the vehicle to the firm's power source for 1-1/2 hours, his boss asked him to remove it.
Twelve days later Beel found himself without a job.
The court ruled that dismissal was disproportionate to the offence, especially given the "minimal electricity cost involved, the plaintiff's 19-year employment by the company and the fact other employees charged mobile phones and digital photo frames at the firm's expense without punishment."
I would have fired him for owning a Segway. ...
