Whirlpool (Australian broadband news and information)

For awhile i have been wanting to swap the internet company that i am with..

It is pretty hard trying to work out which company to go with though

If you live in Australia there is a great website to go to called Whirpool (Australian broadband news and information)

This site has information on it from the Users of Internet, not by the companies trying to sell the internet services.

The site tells what servies are avilable in the area you live in, as well as a Discussion area, in the Discussion area you can find and talk about such things as DSL Hardware Networking Voice over IP Mobile Carriers as well as Web Development so it has something for everyone, from a novice to someone who knows alot about the internet

So if you like in Australia and want to know about what internet company to go to, why not come along and look at this site.
Maybe they have a site like this for other countries as well, ive never checked

Voting Today

Today i had to go and vote for the local elections, to choose who should be the Mayor of the area i live in.

The voting booths are at local schools in the area, its quite strange though to see so many adults at the schools the whole day when all you usually see are school children.

Its also interesting to see all the different nationalities that live here

The area i live in will be getting a Mayor after the local council members where kicked out after a debacle that happened a few years ago, the council at the time loosing 22 million of ratepayers money on a project

Great Seafood Recipe's

I love to cook but as everyone knows it hard to think of new, exciting and healthy foods to eat and cook every day.

The Great American Seafood Cookoff had a competition with chefs were in a cook off where they had to make a recipe using fresh seafood that people at home could cook, out of the fifteen chefs five finalists where chosen for the year 2008.

My favourite recipe is Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet (Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille sausage smothered in a white bean casserole) by Chef Brian Landry

Why did i choose this one:
.............................................I think the Chef Brian Landry from Louisiana in the cookoff made the best recipe using the fresh seafood from his area, i like how he has taken the andouille sausage to add a different flavour to the shrimp and using fresh ingredients from his area of the country, showing how using fresh ingredients are the best.

Everyone knows that to have a healthy diet you should eat a mixture of different coloured vegetables per day. Chef Brian Landry has done this by using the celery, tomato, onion and green herbs, also by adding the white kidney/cannellini beans you are getting the fibre that you need for the day.

Using the domestic seafood you know that the seafood the fishermen bring in daily will always be fresh with a great local taste for you and your whole family, if you have picky eaters in your family with the wide variety of seafood you are sure to find something that the whole family would love.

BBQ and painting

Yesterday went to a BBQ that is held every 2nd Tuesday of a month at a local church.

The church is making a garden in the and BBQ area in the grounds of the church, the last 2 months when going to the BBQ they have had painting on tiles and small pot plants.

What is going to happen with the pots and tiles that have been painted is they will be used in the new BBQ area.

So far i have painted 2 tiles and added my name to them, cant wait to see what the wall looks like once they have finished it, it will be good to see how they have used the tiles

Sadder Poem

I wrote this when i was feeling like crap, just getting a feeling out that was sitting in my head.

Dreams of freedom

that used to be

the time when i saw

and walked along streets

when windows meant nothing

other than to be seen

and people where just people

working to buy things

when getting excited was just that

nothing to be scared of if it went bad

seeing the freedom

of men and women

trying to remember

i think it was like heaven

to see a river flow right to the end

knowing i could se it

it wasent a screen

life can be terrible

with the cards that you get

but you need to remember

the cards a not yet set

Urban Legends

I found this website awhile ago, it has to do with Urban Legends

You can read about
...................................Legends that happened in films ---like the Hoverboards used in
................................. Back to the Future
or
...................................Good Fortunes--like lottery wins

Ive browsed around a few of them to see if i could find some of the urban legends that ive heard over the years, but havent found any yet,

There are so many different things to read, its quite interesting if you like Urban Legends or wanted to know about a Legend you have been told.

The weird news tab is cool to go to, you can see all the weird stories around the world on one page ...
