Yeah when Rage stopped for the encore (not demanded to stop by the show organisers, as is claimed in the news limited article; or if that's the case, they just happened to stop at that point in their set with every other performance they've done in Australia) this guy came on and was like; "can you also listen for a moment" which resulted in the chant; "Fuck you, I won't do whatcha tell me" and then he demanded that all the people who had climbed some structure get down, which resulted in a new chant directed at those people of; "you are a wanker" and there was also some guy in a tree who wouldn't get down, so people started throwing water bottles and stuff at him and he still wouldn't get down. Then a guy set a firework off at him, which almost hit him (or maybe it did) and he got down pretty quickly. Then Rage came back and played Freedom, followed by Know Your Enemy
Got a sick as package from Tom Mosher today 1 Peng footbag, 1 Mosher footbag, 1 Camp Wakahakee (hope I spelt that right) hoodie, 1 sweet shuttle cock, 1 postcard, 1 patch thing (I don't know what these are called 
). Exciting . I'll post pics tomorrow if I remember. The Camp Wakahakee hoodies are so sweet. I'm wearing it right now. The bags also look awesome. My "live" footbag collection is getting really good (ie. bags that are playable). I have 2 Ian Pritchard, 3 Hania, 1 Peng and I Mosher. I actually prefer playing with brand new bags these days (not broken in at all), so I tend to always use the newest bag.
THANKS TOM!
edit; Forgot to mention, I'm downloading some footage from the Milo demos from a few years ago right now for the marketing company that does Nestle's marketing. I might sneakily give out the password to a couple of people if the footage is any good, but the video is called "Milo_footbag_small" and it's 160mb for about 4 minutes I think. They want me to identify tricks for them, and they're going to run some kind of competition where people get to "name" a move

Yeah the video is pretty hilarious. I totally forgot but I was introduced at the Sydney FC soccer game as holding 4 World Titles. So good. Apparently the promotion we did last time rose sales by 34% at the highest peak nationwide. Not sure if footbag can take all the credit for that. Estimated exposure 50,000 people.
The video is very low quality and short, despite being massive, so I'm going to go ahead and recode it and then stick it up somewhere secret, as I'm sure Nestle don't want their internal promotional videos getting leaked Will post when I'm done though, and people can pass on the link privately or something.
Just rode home from work (10 minute ride) and when I got home I realised I'd forgotten my helmet...

'Jihad sheilas' speak out
By Lisa Millar
Posted 1 hour 9 minutes ago
Updated 52 minutes ago
Two women who grew up in country New South Wales and converted to Islam decades ago have defended their beliefs in an extraordinary interview to be aired tonight on ABC television.
The women, neither of whom have ever faced terrorism-related charges, are speaking on camera for the first time, offering an insight into their lives and their dedication to their religion.
They both subscribe to Wahhabism, the strand of Islam followed by Osama bin Laden.
The two women defend their religion in the interviews, but know their beliefs make them suspect to non-Muslims.
Their movements have also been closely watched by security authorities,
Rabiah Hutchinson, an Australian woman who was once married to a confidante of bin Laden, was living in Afghanistan under the strict rule of the Taliban on September 11, 2001.
Her contacts and her religious beliefs have made her a figure of suspicion for the security services, and they have taken away her passport.
"I would defend Islam with my life, so that makes me a filthy, dirty, subhuman terrorist," she said.
"The same as if you asked me, would I die defending my children.
"Does that mean I'm going to go and lob grenades out of the bus in Lakemba? No, it doesn't. But you have just asked me a question that could very well have me put away for a long time."
'Victimised'
Ms Hutchison and her friend, Raisah bint Alan Douglas, speak on camera for the first time on the ABC TV program Jihad Sheilas, to be aired tonight at 8:30pm.
They did the interviews to explain their dedication to their religion, and claim they've been victimised in Australia.
While Ms Hutchinson is still in Australia, Raisah bint Alan Douglas now lives in Nairobi.
She has had eight children and been married five times.
Like Ms Hutchinson, she follows Wahhabism, the strand of Islam on which Saudi Arabia was founded, but whose most extreme devotees include Osama bin Laden.
"We hear a lot - 'they're oppressed those poor darlings? Are you hot in there?'," she said.
"I say 'look, it's hotter in hell, so you know what - I'd rather wear this now and if I am a bit hot, it's hotter in hell'.
"So I'll just do what God told me to do."
Her friend Rabiah Hutchinson has been referred to as the "grand dame of terror", a title she absolutely rejects.
Ms Hutchinson also spent time at an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia founded by Abdullah Sungkar, and the man who many years later was accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombing, Abu Bakar Bashir.
She doesn't believe he was involved in that attack, and what she says about those who died has the potential to cause deep offence to survivors and relatives.
"Do I feel for the people that died? Not as much as I feel for those 200 Afghani people that gave me and my children shelter," she said.
"Why? Because they weren't holidaying in someone's country, sometimes engaging in child pornography or paedophilia or drug taking."
The women now regret speaking out and have withdrawn their support for the program.
They have threatened legal action, claiming they've been misrepresented.
ABC management says it is a powerful and confronting program, but fair.
ABC management says the program was never designed to vilify the women and the ABC stands by it.
-----------------
Sorry for the paragraphing - copied directly from the website. Good demonstration of the religion meme as a virus. "It's hotter in hell."
Also last night I went and had drinks with the crew of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza; which is one of the ships involved in trying to stop the Japanese from whaling in the Southern Ocean. Interesting people My position on whaling is very moderate but it was good to get a different perspective.

An hour or 2 drive from my house.AN enterprising Northern Midlands farmer has built a giant grass castle out of hay bales.
Philip Osborne builds a hay bale structure each year at fairfield near Epping forest on the Midlands Highway.
Last year Mr Osborne, in his fifties, made a straw version of the ancient Stonehenge, called Hayhenge which proved popular with passing motorists.
The farmer uses a loader to put each 300kg bale in place based on a sketch made by his wife Louise.
\"I do it for my own amusement,\" Mr Osborne said.
\"Farmers are miserable sods but we do have a lighter side.\"
I just wanted to say how proud I am to be Australian, and what an amazing difference a change of government makes. Today was probably the most nationalistic I've ever felt, and the first time I've cried because of a politicians speech. It's just so good to have a government that's actually doing stuff that I can support for once;
Ratified Kyoto. Removed work choices. Stopping politician's pay rises. Taking tangible action against Japanese whaling in Australia's territorial waters. Removing combat troops from Iraq. Apologised to the Aboriginal people.
What an incredible step forward, our nation has taken.

hehe i was gonna ask you, what you thought of today. Question answered!

'People, just play Footbag and stop being dickheads!' - Michał Biarda
Yeah it was amazing. Let me add that Brendan Nelson is an absolute disgrace, and don't get me started on all the people who opposed the apology.
Some important points.
From 1869 until 1970 Australia had legislation that specifically denied Aboriginal people the right to be legal guardians or gave authorities the right to remove Aboriginal children from their parents for no other reason than their race.
The apology was on the behalf of the Prime Minister, the Australian Government and the Australian Parliament. As an Australian, my "official status" on an apology did not change at all because of this apology. Kevin Rudd did not apologise for me or for any other Australians than himself. It is completely irrelevant as to whether I feel sorry or guilty for the actions that I was not involved in, but rather, it was the government that made the mistake and it is the government that has apologised.
The legislation did not specifically target "half caste" children, but all children of Aboriginal descent.
The legislation did not specifically target children that were deemed at any kind of risk, but targeted all children of Aboriginal descent.
There were more choices than either doing nothing at all, or removing children from their parents. Today we spend a great deal of money providing services, including health and education, that we're capable of providing without removing children from their parents. The same thing was possible in the 1970s, the 1960s and even the 1860s, we just chose to remove children instead.
I have not heard a single argument that harm will come about because of this apology. Either real benefits will come from it, or there will be no losses or gains, apart from making a small number of people feel better about the world. If we have a choice where the worst case scenario is that a few thousand people feel better about the world, it seems like a no brainer that this is a good choice to make.

Hey check it out, I've started a new blog. It's actually for my political party, and not about me, but I wanted to pimp it everybody. This is actually a sort of test blog, so if party members like it, it may move, and some time spent on making it look nicer. Anyway check it out, feel free to comment as well

Wow, I actually watched that whole speech. I'm not gonna say it was wasted, but I think I could've watched the first 5 minutes and understood as much as I really cared too about the situation.
Oh well, good speech, looks like Australia's on the up and up, hopefully after this election the US will be too.
