Well just now on Chan 10 Julie took out the very first Masterchef (2009). A show on telvision here in Australia

She battled it out with Poh in the pressure cooker in the last round to win by 6 votes.

The last episode consisted of a Taste Test, an Invention challenge (using a whole chicken) and one final Pressure Cooker. Julie only needed 3 votes when it came to Gary’s decision, she recieved a 9 off him. She also received a 9 from George, Matt and Curtis. So all in all a valient effort. She was suprised by her family and EVERYONE burst into tears when she saw her husband and kids were re-united.

“I don’t have words to describe it.” Said her husband when asked how he felt moments after meeting his wife after the series.

Poh’s mum and dad were “Very Proud”

“You’ve changed me” Gary said, holding back tears.

Well done Julie on becoming Australia’s first ever MasterChef

Do you like FPS?

Do you want a game that is FUN and makes you laugh?

Welcome to Battlefield Heroes.

Now when it comes to FPS, I have a few things that I love and hate about the style. One thing I hate, BIG MAPS. I don’t see any point in playing a MPFPS (Multiplayer First Person Shooters) when you have to run around for 5 minutes to find someone. A MPFPS should be straight into the action. Respawn, run for about 10 seconds, start killing! This is BFH!

BFH hit the mark with their maps. Small enough to get plenty of action and also big enough to hide if you need to. They also did well with the onilne ranking system they have set up. The more you play (and win) the better you make your character (you can make up to three characters to begin with).

They also seemed to have sniped the whole “Pirated Download” market. They have done this by creating Serials 1 by 1 and issuing them to specific email addresses that sign up for the “Beta Program”.

This can be done by having by Clicking Here.

So you want to breed dog after dog after dog, hold them in cages in hope that someone will buy them so you can pay for your gambling habbit or crack addiction? If you answered yes to the above (you may as well have a crack addiction) you are one of the worst form of SCUM to walk on this mortal earth. Puppy farms are an absolute discrace and all deserve to be shut down with the dogs all given to good homes.. FOR FREE.

The peoplethat run these “Farms” treat our animal companions like absolute shit and if they were treated this way themselves for even a day would want to find the closest thing that resembles rope and hang themselves from the closest beam that is high enough so their pathetic, panzy ass feet can’t touch the ground and give them the chance to free themsleves.

The poor dogs are kept in tiny cages with most cages also holding multiple dogs. Most of these dogs are inbred which will naturally cause deformities either as pups or when they grow older. What happens to the pups that don’t get sold to Pet Shops? Who knows, I don’t really want to know.

As for petshops. Leave these stores ONLY for toys and maybe food (dog groomers usually hold the best dog food). After all, if you buy a dog from a pet shop, you are most likely buying a dog from a “Puppy Farm” anyway.

In short. Ban these places and close every single one that is “Active” give the dogs away. There has to be a way of getting “Anti Puppy Farming” certificates going.

If you feel up to it, sign the petition below to show your support for the Banning Of Puppy Farming in Australia. Every signature helps.

If you are think about taking a trip overseas.. Think twice about where you REALLY want to go to. Please also take note of the fact.. Most countries DO NOT want caucasian people in their nations (well the Governments do, however certain “Geurilla” type groups within the countries DO NOT want you there.

So what do I think about this whole situation? If you want to go to one of these countries.. Don’t even expect me in the slightest iota to feel even the tiniest bit sorry for you if you are stupid enough to get yourself caught up in any form of “situation”. If it is someone I know, yeah I will feel sad that I might not see that person for a while or ever again, but I won’t be feeling sorry for them any time soon.

It’s their fault they are in the middle of whatever situation they find themselves in.THEY saw on the news the crap that is happening to tourists, yet for some unknown reason in their punistic brains they still choose to go on a HOLIDAY to these places.

A Holdiay? My impression of a HOLIDAY is waking up in the morning wondering where I was to go for the day, getting up, maybe taking a swim in the sun, change and go have a nice breakfast, head out for some FUN and sightseeing, then doeing  whatever else happens along the way, going to bed later that night, waking the next morning and doing it all again. NOT waking up to an explosion at 2 in the morning, heading out to the street in your pijamas, getting taken hostage, or worse shot, being held captive for days, weeks, or even months on end, ending up in jail for doing something that was not “Morraly” that wrong.. That my friends/haters, is a MESS not a HOLIDAY. Even worse, people take their children to these places. What, to protect you? You brainless tarts. If you want to head to these countries, take the kiddies to their grandparents and say to the child “Darling, dad might not come back from this trip. You stay well though…”..

Mentally Retarded!

I’m Australian, so that makes me a racist? Well thats what India is saying…

Time to stand up for myself, time to stand up for the country and walk a VERY THIN line that could very well leave me dubbed as a “Racist”. If you feel that this post is in any way a form of racism then I think you better read it again chump!

Why am i being dubbed a racist? Because I live in Australia? Or because certain induviduals think thta because they are in Australia that they can say & do what they want. If things happen to blow up, it’s somehow Australias fault. Well, the truth is, it’s because some stupid people don’t think before they act.

“Australians Are Racist” is the headline being thrown around the worlds media. Apparently we are racist due to the fact that our Police Force is somewhat understaffed and overworked. There isn’t much that can be done about that. Then comes “You just don’t do anything about it quickly because it’s Indians being attacked” Just take a minute, also take a BIG STEP BACK. It is a fact that it would take just the same amount of time to respond to an “attack” if ANY nationality was involved. Aussie, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Irish etc. The only difference is, the Indians are the only ones getting themselves into the shit more than anyone else and then complain even after they have spoken with Police.

Take the incident that occured recently that dealt the racism card to the table:
An Indian student was slashed across the face with a knife in a car park. That’s all you hear. Lets breat that down a bit more with some actual details:
1. He was alone
2. It was 3am in the morning
3. It was a Dark/Dim & un-monitored car park
4. IT WAS IN DANDENONG

SO to the points avove:
1. Don’t walk the streets at night alone. This is something my parents taught me at a very young age. They still never walk through the streets alone.
2. TAKE A TAXI. So, it costs $10. Saves how much in hospital bills, mental anguish etc.
3. Switch your brain on. Where do you think people get mugged? In the middle of the street? NO, in dark alleys and DARK/DIM UN MONITORED CAR PARKS.
4. Learn your suburbs. Learn where not to go at certain times. You will find in more places than one that it REALLY IS NOT SAFE to walk the streets at night. Before moving to Australia, just maybe ask someone what suburbs are nice to live in. Do some research. Feel free to move into a friendly “Australian Style” street, say “Hello” to all your neighbours, be nice and have a good time. I remember going to grandmas house as a kid and walking up to the shops with her chatting with all the Multi-Cultured people that lived in the street under one term – “Australians”. No segregation, no violence and everyone was “Happy” with each other.

So as you maybe can tell, it’s not just “Anyone” that this happens to. It’s “Certain Induviduals” and I do mean “Single People” that take it upon themselves not to think about what they do, and inevidabily get themselves into trouble.

The main thing that gets people agitated is the following:
After complaining that they are being targeted, what do they do? They RIOT. Yes, Riot. (Check out Sydney. Then they took it upon themselves to “Patrol” train stations.. That is NO LONGER “Protesting”) Um, I’m sure that’s not really a good way to “Gain Attention” with the police. This just draws more circles for them to run around with. There is also a little fact that “Australians” know. You cause a riot, you’ll get flogged by the cops. Litterally. If a cop tells you to “GET BACK”.. You get back. If you don’t, they WILL use reasonable force, THAT IS THEIR JOB. Also, while you are RIOTING, while all the cops were trying to stop you causing more trouble, who was “On call” for the next person (whether it be an Australian, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Greek, Chinese, Irish etc) who was “In need of Police”?.

So as an Australian, I’m racist? (Apart from those from the Indian culture who have been here for years or course .. They are Australians too yeah?) Well answer the following questions.

1. Why when you arive in the country with citezenship do we instantly offer you jobs?

2. Why do we choose to help eductate you (apart from the fact that its makes our government and schools extra money, don’t mind the quality of the eduction though, its only TOP GRADE)

3. Why did I used to say hello to my Indian neighbour and them say hello back both with smiles on our faces and living in peace?

Take into consideration. Australians go to Bali, they GET TARGETED because they are AUSTRALIANS. We are told to never come to the country because they don’t want us there. Australians in Bali get mugged, beaten up, spend life in jail and yet we don’t feel the need to call them “Racist”

Making any sense yet?

I made a post on one of my other blogs about the new to be release N97. This phone is going to be off the hook. Shame I just got my N85.. Oh well thats the way it happens around me

Anyway, feel free to view:

I’ll just start by emoting… o.O !

So, I lost my Nokia N95 8GB. (Don’t worry about the details.. Its GONE) What was I to do? Nokia stopped making the N95 and I didn’t want the N96.. I mean theN96 features are great, but the N85’s features on the other hand.

So I decided to get myself the N85, I must say, a wise choice. Very sleek, fits well in the hand, not too heavy or bulky and it does everything, in the way of features,  I need it to do.

So what’s the difference between my old Nokia N95 8GB and my new Nokia N85? Not too much. The screen is smaller, it doesn’t have 3D Hardware Acceleration and It only runs on ONE processor. So? The Nokia N85 is still better than the Nokia N95 8GB. I would also say the Nokia N85 beats the Nokia N96.

Why you ask? Because of the new features that Nokia has incorperated into the N85. The Navi Wheel for starters is a great tool to shut the iGeeks up with the Navigational Button (the left, right, up and down keys) now doubling up as a Finger Wheel that allows you to select songs, images and videos with more ease than clicking the nav 40 times. Just rotate the thumb!

What happened to the “Pencil” key? Who cares, I can still copy and paste by using the editing options or by holding down the Hash (#) key and selecting the text I wish to copy. To the people who say that it isn’t there.. Look a little harder. If this phone did not copy and paste I wouldn’t have bought it. Quite frankly I’m happy there is one less key to accidently hit!

They also updated the way you can customise the look of your phone too. With advance theme options to can even change what alerts you when your phone battery is going to die.

The Camera is now back behind its own cover to protect the lense glass. It also makes it easier to take photos and movies as I don’t need to open the keypad now.

You also get a new option for the look of the “Desktop” with a new “Vertical”  list option. I quite like this list tool it allows you to have great power on the initial screen without needing to go into the main menu all the time.

FM Transmitter. Yes, you can now tune into your nokia through your car stereo. Although at this point it only works for music and video audio. Not when a phone call comes in.

The game keys also make it easier to play as the old set up used to anoy the hell out of me as my fingers are too big to press the keys when the phone is on its side

So I jazzed my phone up with all my Handy Tools and also my Warelex Mobiola Webcam, everything works a treat and I am now much happier. Plus also now my phone is new again.

If you need an upgrade and want the good stuff. Take a look at this phone. You wont be disapointed.
