Sorry for the lack of content…

The editor has had an extended break and on his return has had to make some tough decisions about the future of this website.

I am heavily involved now with the Seniors Computer Club here at the ‘Heads and because of this and heavier workload in my business, I am unable to continue updating this website. A pity, because I have enjoyed creating and maintaining it over the years.

I would really like to see it continued by a local or locals however and so am writing this to see if there are any interested people who would like to do this.

Let’s give it a month and I will make a decision about the final fate of the site if no expressions of interest have been received after that time.

Please just use the Contact Us form to get in touch with me.

Andy.

Navy brings excitement to the ‘Heads

We had an unexpected visitor this evening at the Jerry Bailey Oval - a Navy Sea King helicopter made a landing on our local playing field to check a possible fuel leak apparently.

After checking things over (and leaving most of the crew behind to travel back to Albatross by car!) the chopper was pronounced fit to fly and took off after sunset as you can see below.

Gave the locals something to watch besides the telly (the sandflies had a feast too..) and the spectacle was enjoyed by all.

A pity they couldn’t have taken off just a little earlier as the light was getting very low for the camera to take a decent video!

Easy answers…

Climate change again - after this one I’ll move onto something else, I promise. I’m sure you’re sick of the whole issue and wished it would just go away or that you will just choose to (as many politicians do), wait ‘for all the facts to come in’ before making your mind up about this issue.

If you were a child of the fifties or sixties you would remember well the public interest in science, we were all keen to hear about the latest discoveries and inventions being made to alleviate diseases or advance modern living. The reality is that now, more than any time in human history, fantastic scientific achievements and discoveries are being made - and ignored.

It’s as if the attitude of many seems to be ‘just fit more tunes on my iPod I don’t care how it’s actually done’ or ‘keep studying climate change so that you come up with the answers that we want to hear rather than the facts’. Read the rest of this entry “

A new Liberal leader: should we worry?

Following on from my last article on climate change on the south coast, I was prompted to post something in response to the events that took place today in the Liberal Party.

The replacement of the party leader by one who has made statements in past interviews like this one should be of concern to us all - (taken from an interview with Laurie Oakes):

Laurie Oakes: … can I remind you that a few days ago you visited a Victorian town of Beaufort. Let me read from the local newspaper.  It says “In a wide ranging speech, Mr Abbott talked about climate change, the Liberal political fortunes and Kevin Rudd. quote - the argument on climate change is absolute crap,” he said.’ Is it absolute crap?

Impact of Climate change on the South Coast

Apparently (I didn’t hear it myself) there was a chap who had called the ABC this morning implying that Shoalhaven Heads was identified as being one of the most prone areas when climate changes occur. He went on to state that he had ‘heard’ that people who live there were faced with huge home insurance premiums!

I don’t know about the second rumour - I strongly doubt it has any truth to it at all apart from the usual annual insurance premium rises we all are used to - but the second can be put to rest if you read the Draft Sea Level Rise Policy released by the council. Read the rest of this entry “

We urgently need some more useful old remedies and methods to add to the collection, so if you can help is some way, please drop as a message from the contact page.

I suggest you have a read through all the Ask Auntie Flo articles to ensure you don’t start writing one that has already been covered click on the ‘Ask Auntie Flo’ category on the menu to the right.

Hadron Collider ‘being sabotaged by God’

From Geneva, Switzerland.

SCIENTISTS claim the giant atom-smashing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being jinxed from the future to save the world.

In a bizarre sci-fi theory, Danish physicist Dr Holger Bech Nielsen and Dr Masao Ninomiya from Japan claim the LHC startup has been delayed due to nature trying to prevent it from finding the elusive Higgs boson, or “God particle”.

They say their maths proves that nature will “ripple backward through time” to stop the LHC before it can create the God particle, like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather. Read the rest of this entry “
