tintin movie
I hear more rumours that a tintin movie is being planned by Steven Speilberg's company Dreamworks.I hope they do make a movie, however it will be a miracle if they get it right. I hear talk of a "live action" format people have suggested jude law or toby maguire to play tintin. Rubbish! If they do make a tintin movie, it ought to appear indistinguishable from the cartoon art work itself! And no American or canadian accents for tintin...Needs to be English, also tintin's voice must be a proper male voice, not a woman pretending to be a boy's voice. There is many ways in which this could be ruined. If it is not perfect it should not be made. Ie Kevin costner in robin hood making no attempt to use the correct accent...Robbin Hood did not speak with an American accent. Bloody hell. Rediculous. The red sea sharks is a great episode. They ought to do all the episodes. The key to success is not difficult to comprehend: Movie must stay true to the comic book in the smallest details and in the general format.

TINTIN
THE ADVENTURES of TINTIN, are excellent. I'm surprised the comic-book series has not received more global recognition hitherto than it has.Left: Captain Haddock, Tintin's best friend.Herge the author from Belgium, who created Tintin, was with out doubt a genius. The man on the street understands Tintin, but because the comic book cartoon format is generally regarded as trivial amongst literature greats, this notion mitigates his esteem, for Tintin.The man on the street understands nothing of Shakespeare, yet ironically he is always ready to support Shakespeare as a work of genius. It is. But so is Tintin, and it ought to be recognised as such.The Adventures of Tintin is perfect in so many ways. In so far as the work appeals to all age groups young and old child and adult alike, one can draw the comparison with 'The Simpsons", regarding this similarity.For the young boy, growing up raised on Tintin: all the world is put in perspective. The reality of the worlds great dramas is accurately reflected on the page.....In pictures and words.It ought to be compulsory for schools to stock in their' libraries the complete series. The stories should be analysed in High School English Class. Their depth offers many lessons.Tintin has good values. He protects the weak, fights bullies, always does good and never does bad.And how funny the series is! Who can ever in their life forget Captain Haddock's vocabulary of hilarious swear-words!I will always laugh at the sticking plaster incident on the plane, in 'the calculus Affair' Or the time the Llama kept spitting in the captain's face in 'prisoners of the sun', Or the time General Alcazar and General Tapioca are having a 'moment' together in 'Tintin and the Picaros', reminiscing over the good old days when coups were bloody affairs, and their mutual disappointment that Tintin would not allow them to observe Latin American coup De'Etat tradition of executing the fallen leader. Tapioca was just as sad as Alcazar at this interruption of tradition; despite the fact that Tintin had just prevented Alcazar from executing Tapioca! Hilarious stuff, every one should read The Adventures of Tintin.Remember its a work of art to be held in the highest esteem, just like the Mona-Lisa painting, the architectural beauty that is the Empire State Building, and of course Shakespeare.The Tintin Adventures are published in perhaps thirty-five countries world-wide.

Driving Rules
"A" has right of way. I hope he is cognisant of this fact! Most are not...So many people slow down my journey to the shops, because of this, that it does bare mentioning..........When two lanes merge, the car in front has right of way.If you are behind (not as advanced in position as the car almost door to door with yours), when a merging lane happens upon you, you must apply the brakes and move in fully behind.If you're infront, for gods sake, move into the centre of the merging lanes and control that space by your central presence. Why? If you don't, some absent minded motorist will move in beside you and stuff things up for everyone on the lane extending behind the merge, in a number of ways. Firstly, they will potentially cause a crash, secondly it wastes time for two drivers to figure out who goes first, if the informed driver (you) does not take action at the beginning of the merge to show all what has to happen.Motorcycles are best positioned in the centre of their lane, however since the oil slick resides there, the ideal position is just to the right of the centre. Why the centre? Well because this allows the rider to assert his personal space on the road. This is all for the purpose of safety. It makes other drivers notice the rider more easily. They need to know you're there or they will crash into you. Suppose you always ride your motorbike as far to the curb as possible. When a car behind you wishes to overtake, it will often not bother changing lanes to overtake, because it sees all the space you have made, because you are 'cowering' to the left; instead barging through your lane, as you are not fully occupying it. This is an unsafe situation. Blind Freddy can see that.

PIMPLES and ACNE PRO-ACTIVE SOLUTION QUAK PROPAGANDA
Acne/pimples are NOT caused by not washing your face. They are NOT caused by the surface f your skin being unclean. They are also NOT caused by the eating of chocolate. So I encourage you to eat chocolate, its very good for you, especially the dark chocolate; I hear it contains antioxidents, which are supposed to kill free radicals and make you healthier. Acne is caused by hormones in the body, being in a state of flux, generally testosterone (girls have testosterone in their normal endocrine system too, only to a lesser ratio than males). Testosterone in higher than normal levels will increase the bodie's production of oil in the skin. BACTERIA likes to live in oil. So when elevated levels of oil are present in your skin, you are unwittingly the bacteria's prefered choice of abode. Bacteria will live in oily skin. Thats the relationship. Specifically bacteria like to live in the "machine" in the skin which produces melanin. The bacteria highjacks the melanin machine and forces it to pump out huge quantities of melanin-the stuff that gives you a tan if you are not scottish. So you see a black head is really a quantity of pure melanin pumped into your pore, the colour of which is white, however since the top is in contact with the suns photon rays-sunlight, that part turns black, as melanin is designed to. Hence the 'black head'.So to those of you who are considering the purchase of PROACTIVE-SOLUTION Acne cream, I say, dont listen to Jessica Simpson, and P. Diddy, and that black woman with the green eye contact lenses, who appear on infomercials telling you that it will fix acne; because IT WILL NOT WORK! This is because that pro active stuff, all it does is steralise the surface of the face, with its high alcohol content. However a dirty face does not cause pimples. If it did that stuff would work, but it doesnt, so dont buy into the star endorsement qwack style propaganda. They arnt making a product on the basis of fact, they ignore the facts and market a product on the basis of the Goebbels principle: If you say it often enough and loud enough, pretty soon people will believe it to be true. It is not true. It never will be.

THE REASONS WHY I DON'T LIKE IAN HEWITSON
Well firstly hes a secret New Zealander. Got nothing against Kiwis; its the accent I cant stand....Its the same kind of annoyance level as when fingernails are scratched down a blackboard. Its even more annoying than that, because they sound like Aussies (which is fine), and you listen to them talk, and just when you think everything is fine, they throw in one of those weird pronunciations! They lull you to sleep talking like an aussie, then Bam! They throw in a Kiwi speak. It stems from the inability or disinclination to annunciate the letter "I" in most words that contain "I". For example they wont say "Fridge", they say "Frdge". Or "Frzby" instead of "Frisbee". A most annoying accent. Kiwis are a good bunch by the way, they have a great country, good scenery and good values....Its just their accent I cant stand. And the fact they all seem to be called either "Leonard" or "Graham". Ian Hewitson has remnants of that Kiwi accent lingering in his speech.And he always talks to the camera man "Rob" way too much and his voice is a little too high, so is his laugh, which makes me uncomfortable...And his sense of humour is crap. He wrote a book, called "Never trust a skinny cook". He thinks that's funny because hes fat, but plenty of awesome cooks are not fat. The best cook in the world is Jamie Oliver. Then Delia Smith, Ainsly, and myself-Im not a bad cook actually.However the main problem is that on his TV show he talked up a Sydney restaurant called "Doyles" and on the basis of his recommendation, I went there and it was totally crap. The waitress was about sixty, and treated us as though we were paupers who were about to bolt after the meal without paying. Whats more, the entire restaurant was empty for dinner except my table and when a loud group of 3 came in, what did she do? She placed them at the closest table to ours. The peaceful tranquility was thus debased. GREAT! The food was neither high quantity nor quality. and the slices of smoked salmon were straight from the supermarket. They gave me a walnut cracker thingo and a half of one whole crab. The crab had a very sharply armoured exoskeleton, by which I ended up getting an injured cut finger. You could say the food attacked me posthumorously. The dish I ordered was the seafood platter. It turned out to be a plate with that piece of crab, some supermarket slices of pink salmon, about 3 chips and some tartar sauce and several crumbed squid rings. They were all really cold; like out-of-the-fridge cold.When it came time to pay, our waitress reckoned we could not pay with eftpos, or a certain major credit card. That pissed me off. They are so highly recommended, they ought to be able to accept payment from every standard. Snobs.

One thing I cant comprehend is the question of weather or not the universe has and end? If one were able to travel in a fast space craft, covering a great distance, would one arrive eventually at the physical boundary-the boundary of the universe? If yes, then where the universe ends; what begins? More universe? Something else? And how many light years separate Earth from the perimeter of the universe? If it does indeed exist. And how can we find out? Our most powerful telescopes gaze deep into space, yet they only see a myopic fraction of what is there. If there is an end; we cannot see far enough to see it.As technology and knowledge grow, our understanding of the environment in which we exist becomes more and more understandable. For example, mankind was of the opinion that the world was flat like a table. Now we know better, thanks to improved technology, such as space craft and satellites which can travel far enough away from sea level, to be able to view the world with a better perspective. The Vikings believed if they sailed their long-boats far enough, they would fall off the edge of the earth, in a giant waterfall. They never found that waterfall!Some questions we just can't answer at this stage. Like why did Jessica Simpson cheat on Nick Lachey with that guy from Jackass? Or where does the universe end? However that does not mean we should not ask the questions and ponder the possibilities. Out there in space somewhere lies the answer. Its there right now, we just don't know what it is.And let me ask you this...How small is the universe? How small do things actually come? We know cells are made of atoms which are made of smaller components: protons neutrons and electrons. But what is the next smallest thing? The universe consists of a macro and micro scale. Macro meaning BIG and Micro, SMALL. It is clear that the universe is both so large and so small at the same time, that mankind has not yet found the limits of either extreme.
Who are you and what is this blog about?
I am an Australian and this blog is My View. It is a great opportunity for me to discuss many different topics, concepts, polemic issues and philosophies, that are of interest to me and may be of interest to you too. Its an opportunity to share my point of view on things. This is not a "dear diary" kind of blog. My View, really is just my view. Its as simple as that. Its a common sense approach to a world in which quite a few people I have noticed, seem to have lost the plot! So essentially I will discuss on a near daily basis, those things which interest me. I hope you will stick around for the commentary, however I cant guarantee that My View will interest you. Although I really do believe what I have to say is worth discussing, because for certain things I have a great deal of passion and these things I like to discuss! Whats more, when you talk with your friends face to face, you can express yourself to only a handful of people; but through the wonders of modern info tech, we can all express ourselves on a mass global scale, to anyone who cares to listen.

water shortage
water shortage
Lately it has transpired that popular culture in Australia chose to embrace the notion of water rationing. Its all part of the Al Gore circus staring flavour of the month bandwagon sentiment and fad mass opinion. Australia is a huge continent. Around the perimeter life is possible because the convection cycles brought about by differentials in sea and land temperatures, bring rain to the coast. However in the inland areas it is and always has been dry as a bone. Its the red centre - called that because the dust is red and dry. The USA is approximately the area of Australia. Why then is there such a massive stark difference in the size of each great nation's population? The answer lies in the percentage of land that is inhabitable. No one can live in the desert - very unpleasant and no water. Further more without water there can be no agriculture. The centre of the USA is full of farms; the centre of Australia is full of dust. USA population 300 million. Australia population only 20 million. Similar comparison can be made between Australia and Europe as a whole. It matters not what countries' are compared: its the water content the land boasts that is the salient point here. We squabble over the murky Murry River. Where is the vision? No one seems to see the view from ten thousand feet. Its total rubbish this sentiment that somehow Australia will die of thirst. For those of you outside Oz, let me tell you the talk here is rediculous....There is actually serious thought being given to crazy ideas like the drinking of recycled toilet water. Even our statesmen -some senatores are considering connecting city tap water to recycled sewerage. People treat the problem with water shortage rationing; when the situation demands innovation and ideas. I have an idea. If I were in charge, this is exactly what Id do. I would have built along the coast a series of giant desalination plants - a string of them in 100km intervals, so thats about 160 plants in toto. Theres plenty of water in the sea. The plants' power source could be coal or nuclear. Nuclear is ideal - 40% of the worlds known uranium resides in Australia. We own it we must use it. And to all these reactionary masses who are claiming that the sea is rising - I say this: The melting of ice bergs does not affect the level of the body of water in which they reside. Secondly if by some other cause, say a rise in sea water temperature or land based glacier melting flowing to the sea, the sea should happen to rise, then what better way to nullify this effect than by sucking up great quantityies of ocean and after processing to remove salt and polutents, piping it into the desert and creating thouands of new farms and communities where previously only dust was to be found!To the nay sayers, this project is on the scale of the suez canal or the building of a city from scratch such as what is taking place currently in dubai - a desert city I might add.The materials the fuel the technology is readily abundant. The mamoth project is easily justifiable by the obvious and groundbraking value it will bring Australians and the world.The cost? One only has to glance for a fraction of a instant at the increase in the size of the population and the economy that is possible with a desert turned green, to see that it is costly not to proceed.Imagine a network of giant pipelines pushing fresh water into the red centre for a thousand years to come. Imagine the population climbing from 21 million to 100 milion in as little as 10 years. Imagine lakes and forests the likes of which one sees in latin america and in europe and north America - One could drive from perth to darwin strait through the "desert" and hardly see the blue sky above for the density of the forest canopy enveloping the road below.Would water evaporate? Yes it would but the ocean is a never ending pudding. And interestingly one mite see new convection cycles kick in causing rain in the inner areas of the continent where previously there was none. There is 1.18 trillion cubic kilometers of water in the worlds oceans. There is limitless neclear power. And people talk of drinking recycled sewerage...What an outrage! Farmers and greenies squabble over water allocation from the Murry River. Labor talk of changing the water management policy - as though this will make it rain more. Can people not seee the wood for the trees? Theres a whole world of water just waiting to be harnessed. There are numerous pluses to the project. Australia is the flatest continent on earth. There is no need to pump water up hill. It can be carried horizontally across the desert. People seem not to realise that to make the desert bloom is to make australia a super power. The criteria for a state to be a super power that Australia lacks are simply a large enough population and sufficient agricultural land. Untold prosperity is possible with the agriculturalising of the inner continent.No longer would one sadly look upon the nightly news weather map and see a iconic land full of red orange desert with only a hint of green around parts of its exstensive coastline. Instead you would see that same lovely shape that iconic Australia shape, but this time dressed in green from head to toe!The csiro could be given the task of integrating the water with the earth so as to create optimum loam. We must have moist earth worm laden black soil from Ceduna to Alice springs. Economically the whole scheme pays for tself in good time. Once the plants are installed on the coast, the network of reticulating pipes would be laid out, as though constructing a system of arteries viens and capilaries. Needles to say salt extracted could be exported to the world as an economically viable bi-product of the desallination. As the desert turns green almost of its own accord with the introduction of water, the land becomes useful for bith agriculture and for the construction of houses streets communities towns and infact hundreds of new capital cities. WA which currently has but one capital city - Perth, will require five like sized inland cities. Same Same the other states and teritories. Germany a country roughly the land area of Victoria alone, is home to some 80 million people. Why? Water. Water is the key to unlock prosperity.Citizens will readily set up in the inland areas. Land - which is at rediculously unaffordable prices currently, would be made available for purchase from the state at the rate of $100 000 per Acre. Try stop the stampede! These new inland dwellers must agree to be taxed for the production of the water that sustains them. With several tens of millions of people involved, the economy of scale renders the taxation moderate. Whats more say you are a farmer. You buy 10 000 Acres from the state and grow your crop or run your herd of choice. We can give Brasil a run for her money in the Beef game. Ethanol? Corn. You the farmer, grow your corn and sell it to the distillery for production of motor spirit. You make a huge profit as your land is viable and the economic policy of the government is to assist farmers to match production scientifically and sensibly to world demand. You use the profit to service your modest debt that you used to aquire the new land and you also use the agricultural profit to pay your water tax. This cycle may continue in perpetuity. Think nothing of this continuation for 500 years. A manufacturing base can be built on the wealth of this new green land, to ensure that at times of world agri commodity surplus, the inhabitants still make money. The North of Italy is industrialised and has great soil and rainfal, it is twice as wealthy as the dry non - industrial south of Italy. Huge farms and huge factories and huge populations living very well can be produced where there is water. Green fields and ancient oak forrests - or muddy murry dregs and recycled sewerage? Which do you want!

The mamoth project is easily justifiable by the obvious and groundbraking value it will bring Australians and the world.The cost? One only has to glance for a fraction of a instant at the increase in the size of the population and the economy that is possible with a desert turned green, to see that it is costly not to proceed.Imagine a network of giant pipelines pushing fresh water into the red centre for a thousand years to come. Imagine the population climbing from 21 million to 100 milion in as little as 10 years. Imagine lakes and forests the likes of which one sees in latin america and in europe and north America - One could drive from perth to darwin strait through the "desert" and hardly see the blue sky above for the density of the forest canopy enveloping the road below.Would water evaporate? Yes it would but the ocean is a never ending pudding. And interestingly one mite see new convection cycles kick in causing rain in the inner areas of the continent where previously there was none. There is 1.18 trillion cubic kilometers of water in the worlds oceans. There is limitless neclear power. And people talk of drinking recycled sewerage...What an outrage! Farmers and greenies squabble over water allocation from the Murry River. Labor talk of changing the water management policy - as though this will make it rain more. Can people not seee the wood for the trees? Theres a whole world of water just waiting to be harnessed. There are numerous pluses to the project. Australia is the flatest continent on earth. There is no need to pump water up hill. It can be carried horizontally across the desert. People seem not to realise that to make the desert bloom is to make australia a super power. The criteria for a state to be a super power that Australia lacks are simply a large enough population and sufficient agricultural land. Untold prosperity is possible with the agriculturalising of the inner continent.No longer would one sadly look upon the nightly news weather map and see a iconic land full of red orange desert with only a hint of green around parts of its exstensive coastline. Instead you would see that same lovely shape that iconic Australia shape, but this time dressed in green from head to toe!The csiro could be given the task of integrating the water with the earth so as to create optimum loam. We must have moist earth worm laden black soil from Ceduna to Alice springs. Economically the whole scheme pays for tself in good time. Once the plants are installed on the coast, the network of reticulating pipes would be laid out, as though constructing a system of arteries viens and capilaries. Needles to say salt extracted could be exported to the world as an economically viable bi-product of the desallination. As the desert turns green almost of its own accord with the introduction of water, the land becomes useful for bith agriculture and for the construction of houses streets communities towns and infact hundreds of new capital cities. WA which currently has but one capital city - Perth, will require five like sized inland cities. Same Same the other states and teritories. Germany a country roughly the land area of Victoria alone, is home to some 80 million people. Why? Water. Water is the key to unlock prosperity.Citizens will readily set up in the inland areas. Land - which is at rediculously unaffordable prices currently, would be made available for purchase from the state at the rate of $100 000 per Acre. Try stop the stampede! These new inland dwellers must agree to be taxed for the production of the water that sustains them. With several tens of millions of people involved, the economy of scale renders the taxation moderate. Whats more say you are a farmer. You buy 10 000 Acres from the state and grow your crop or run your herd of choice. We can give Brasil a run for her money in the Beef game. Ethanol? Corn. You the farmer, grow your corn and sell it to the distillery for production of motor spirit. You make a huge profit as your land is viable and the economic policy of the government is to assist farmers to match production scientifically and sensibly to world demand. You use the profit to service your modest debt that you used to aquire the new land and you also use the agricultural profit to pay your water tax. This cycle may continue in perpetuity. Think nothing of this continuation for 500 years. A manufacturing base can be built on the wealth of this new green land, to ensure that at times of world agri commodity surplus, the inhabitants still make money. The North of Italy is industrialised and has great soil and rainfal, it is twice as wealthy as the dry non - industrial south of Italy. Huge farms and huge factories and huge populations living very well can be produced where there is water. Green fields and ancient oak forrests - or muddy murry dregs and recycled sewerage? Which do you want!

The main thing is that the blog can be seen by people and that it is reliably visible. This is the second version - mark II, of My View. The first blog failed to make itself visible to the searching masses in search engine search results. Lets hope this time for better results.....
