    There's a song by theIndonesian rock music groupSlank that, roughly translated,goes:

    Thank you dear Bali foryour culture and your nature.Thank you for your beautifulgirls and the strength of Bali's arak.

    Arak is the alcoholic beverageoften distilled from tuak, a wine madefrom coconut palms. It can also bedistilled from brem - a wine made fromglutinous rice and coconut milk.

    Celebrated in song, but morecelebrated in glasses with friends,arak has a special place in theBalinese culture. As such, Balilawmakers are now considering howto allocate a special status on both thedrinks and their traditional producers.

    U n r e g u l a t e d , a r a k h a ssomet imes been produced byunscrupulous or ill-trained people whohave produced a beverage that ispoisonous and has cost human lives. Aspecial committee of the Bali House ofRepresentatives (DPRD-Bali) isseeking steps that will both encouragearak production as a local product, whileat the same time regulating theproduction method to ensure publicsafety is not compromised.

    Continued from page 1The DPRD-Bali special

    committee travelled to Sideman,Karangasem, to meet with small-scale producers and hear theaspirations of those who havelearned the skill of arak productionfrom generation to generation.

    The arak producer told thelawmakers how they wish that

    their trade could be legallyrecognized, ending the high costof having to deal with police. Tothis end, they asked that asimplified and straightforwardlicensing method be establishedfor arak producers and asupportive role to be played by thegovernment in the production andmarketing of what is a well-known

    and much enjoyed localproduct.

    Legislators assured localarak producers that the majority oft h e i r a s p i r a t i o n s a r ea c c o m m o d a t e d i n n e wregulations now being drafted bythe House.

    Moving along this week I hope you all tilt your glasses and say a big cheers for the diggers as wecelebrate ANZAC Day this year. Without the bravest of men from Australia and New Zealand wemay not enjoy the lifestyle we do now. Many families went without to secure the great nation we arenow and that can never be forgotten. I know I will be enjoying a few with good friends and Lest WeForget.

    Four-legged US viewers wag tails for Dog TVTwo months after itsSan Diego debut, caninecable channel DogTV iskeeping tails wagging ata local animal shelter, isavailable on the Internet

    and i s headed f o rnational distribution, ane x e c u t i v e f o r t h eenterprise said.

    The advertising-freeprogramming is aimed at stay-at-home pooches whose work-a-day masters fretabout the separationanxiety their petssu f fe r , and thetrouble they get into,w h e n l e f tunattended for longstretches of time.

    Billed as the

    first channel of itskind, DogTV madei t s p r e m ie r e i nFebruary as a free,around-the-clockoffering carried byCox Cable and TimeW a r n e r ' s o n -demand services inSan Diego, reaching some483,000 homes in California'ssecond-largest city.

    T h e c o n t e n t i sspecifically tailored for four-legged audiences, with even thesound, colours and camera

    angles adjusted to make themmore appealing to canines.

    The dogs' favourite TVstars, not surprisingly, turn out tobe other dogs.

    "They love watchingother dogs being active on thescreen, and other animals," saidB e ke L u b e a ch , h e a d o fmarketing for DogTV, adding thatbirds, monkeys and zebras haveproven popular as well.

    The Nielsen televisionratings service does not measureviewership on the channel andLubeach declined to disclosedetails of the company's ownmarketing research. But she saidthat 80 percent of its viewers or atleast the humans who turn on the

    channel for their pets are repeatvisitors.Last week, the channel

    began offering online streamingfrom its website, dogtv.com, for$9.99 a month. On-demandviewing over Cox and TimeWarner cable systems in San

    Diego remains free for theduration of test-marketing, whichis expected to run another twomonths at least, she said.

    H O P I N G T O G ONATIONWIDE

    Lubeach said DogTV

    hopes to have a nationaldistribution deal in place in thenext couple of months, at whichpoint the channel would chargesubscribers about $5 a month.

    In the meantime, DogTVhas become a big hit at theHumane Society animal shelter insuburban Escondido, whichbegan airing the channel onseveral televisions mountedthroughout the facility last month.

    The shelter "has seen a

    marked improvement in allthe dogs who have been exposedto DogTV," said Sally Costello,execut ive d i rector o f theEscondido Humane Society,which cares for more than 5,000animals a year and currentlyhouses 115 dogs.

    In a press release lastweek, she said that "higher-energy dogs, which were onceshowing signs of anxiety, are nowexhibiting positive developmentand calmer behaviour, includingvocalizing less and resting more."

    Programming, developedby a team of Israelit e l e v i s i o nentrepreneurs, wasbased on hundredsof hours of researchi n t o w h a t T V -watching dogs like tosee and hear andhow content forpooches shou lda p p e a r .Researchers foundthat dogs favouredsuch things as harpm u s i c a n d t h ec a r t o o n s e r i e s" S p o n g e B o bSquarePants."

    While DogTV is a cabletelevision first, the concept ofmaking couch potatoes out ofcanines is not new.

    More than 60 percent ofU.S. dog owners already heed thenational Humane Society's

    recommendation to keep a radioor television on in the house whentheir pets are left alone so theanimals hear comforting voicesrather than just silence, accordingto Dr. Nicholas Dodman, amember of DogTV's scientificadvisory board and a professor ofveterinary medicine and behaviora t T u f t s U n i v e r s i t y i nMassachusetts.

    Faith moti vates tongue piercing in Nepal

    Pressing his palms together,Jujubhai Basan Shresthar a i s e s h i s h a n d s ,acknowledging greetingsfrom the cheering crowd ofdevotees and onlookers.

    Sporting a white turban,the 31-year-old sits on a chair as aman inserts a 13 inch metalskewer through his tongue in acenturies-old ritual in this poorsettlement, 12 km (8 miles) east ofKathmandu.

    T h e s c e n e a t t h eweekend, on the second day ofNepal's New Year, was unique to

    Bode, a sleepy village of 8,000people from the devout Newarcommunity, who are thought tohave been the early settlers of thesaucer-like Kathmandu valley.

    A crowd of thousandsjostled for a glimpse as youngdancers twirled in the dust ofvermillion powder, beatingcymbals and banging drums in afrenzied performance.

    "This is to keep our culturealive," said Shrestha, who

    teaches fine arts in a localschool and spoke to Kuta Weeklybefore the ritual started. Behindhim, his wife sat on a bed andpainted the eyes of their three-month-old son with kohl paste.

    "Performance of this ritualsaves the inhabitants of Bodefrom disasters like earthquake,

    severe drought and famine."Some medical experts

    say tongue piercing may result inbig gaps between front teeth orcomplications like infections.

    But Shrestha, who had histongue pierced for the fourth time,said his motivation came from hisfaith and he had not experiencedany problems so far.

    "I always wanted to marrybefore I started piercing mytongue," Shrestha said. "Now Ihave a wife as well as a son. Thegod fulfils your wishes."

    MYTH AND FAITH

    The origin of the ritual lieswith tales of a devil that harassedthe residents of Bode more than1,600 years ago.

    Legend has it that areligious scholar captured the evilspirit through his tantra, or theknowledge of ancient Hindu andBuddhist texts, keeping him incustody for several days.

    The spirit was freed afterhe had his tongue pierced inpunishment and swore to protect

    t h e v i l l a g e r s f r o mdisasters. The ritual is believed tohave been repeated every yearsince.

    In preparation, Shresthaabstained from sex for two daysand fasted for 48 hours. He alsoshaved his head.

    The ritual was performed

    in front of a small temple of thee l e p h a n t g o d , G a n e s h ,worshipped for good luck.

    "There is no pain, no scarand no bleeding, although it lookschilling," said Krishna ChandraBaga, the man who inserted themetal rod through Shrestha'stongue.

    "This is due to the divinepower. Otherwise how can this bepossible," said Baga, who had hisown tongue pierced 12 times.

    In Bode, women in redsaris with thin streaks of crimsonred powder in their hairlines threw

    auspicious offerings of rice andflowers at Shrestha, who wentround the village for over twohours before the metal rod waspulled out.

    T h e s c e n e w o w e dtourists.

    "It is scary but veryimpressive," said Sophie, a 31-year-old French tourist from Paris."You have to be very strong inyour mind to do this. I would bereally scared.

    night on board a Boeing 767 twinengine passenger plane flyingfrom Toronto to Zurich inSwitzerland with 95 passengersand eight crew.

    The report said the firstofficer had just woken up,disoriented, from a long nap,when he learned from the pilotthat a U.S. cargo plane was flyingtoward them.

    "The FO (First Officer)initially mistook the planet Venus

    for an aircraft but thecaptain advised again that thetarget was at the 12 o'clockposition (straight ahead) and1,000 feet below," said the report.

    "When the FO saw theoncoming aircraft, the FOinterpreted its position as beingabove and descending towardsthem. The FO reacted to theperceived imminent collision bypushing forward on the controlcolumn," the report continued.

    The airliner droppedabout 400 feet before the captainpulled back on the control column.Fourteen passengers and twocrew were hurt, and sevenneeded hospital treatment. Nonewere wearing seat belts, eventhough the seat-belt sign was on.

    The safety board said thecrew did not fully understand the

    risks of tiredness during nightflights.

    The first officer, whoseyoung children often interruptedhis sleep at home, had napped for75 minutes rather than the 40-minute maximum laid down byairline regulations. This meant hefell into a deep sleep and wasdisoriented when he woke up.

    The report is yet anotherproblem for Canada's largest

    airline, which has facedprolonged labour unrest.

    Air Canada, expressingregret that passengers wereinjured, said it had taken steps toprevent a recurrence, remindingpilots to follow the rules fornapping during flights andincreasing efforts to heighten

    crews' awareness of fatigue andits effects.

    " A i r C a n a d a h a sdeveloped a special fatigue reportform for use in its safety reportingsystem ... this enhanced systemshould be in place in summer of2012," said spokesman PeterFitzpatrick.

    The Air Canada PilotsAssociation has long pressuredauthorities to take the stresses of

    night flying intoa cco u n t wh e ns e t t i n g t h emaximum hours a

    pilot can work.C a n a d a ' sregulations werelast changed in1996, when thelongest duty daywas cut to 14 hoursfrom 15 hours.

    " T h ecurrent regulationsare not sensitive atall to the time ofday . . . (Nor thAtlantic flights) arecertainly fatiguing

    in comparison to most other

    flying," said association presidentPaul Strachan.

    He also said Air Canadaoperated trans-Atlantic flights withtwo pilots whereas U.S. carriersused three to share the load.

    "The regulator will havedone a risk assessment andobviously is satisfied ... that therisk was acceptable, but obviouslyit is an increase, there is no twoways about it," he said.

    indications of depressionbecoming rampant among theBalinese.

    that the level of depressionm o s t f r e q u e n t l yencountered among thegeneral public is theg r o w i n g s t a t e o fwidespread anxiety andworry. As a result, many

Plus the Sun/Mars trineencourages you to break out of your usual routine and be abold and brave Bull. Be inspired by birthday great ShirleyMacLaine Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all thefruit is. Keep your jealous/possessive side in check on Friday.

    Gemini May 22 to Jun 21Gregarious Geminis love nothing better than a good old chin-wag, but garrulous gossip and indiscreet chatter could get youinto gigantic trouble this week so choose your words wisely. Ifyou find yourself letting precious secrets out of the bag, justzip your lip completely! Friends and finances are a messy mixon the weekend, so try to keep the two separate.

    Cancer Jun 22 to Jul 23Avoid being a clingy Crab. This week it's time to beindependent and make decisions on your own especially atwork. If you communicate your ideas in innovative ways, thenlucky breaks will follow. On the weekend, love won't flourishunless you face responsibilities. If you do, then you'll find agem shining on your path and your relationships will sparkle.

    Leo Jul 24 to Aug 23It's the perfect week to set gigantic goals and dream bigdreams for the future and don't make them too safe and

    sensible! It's time for cautious Cats and languid Lions to go forgold as the Sun [your ruler] trines Mars and Pluto, giving you asensational shot of confidence. Recuperative powers arestrong too, as you enjoy activities that rejuvenate mind, bodyand spirit.

    Virgo Aug 24 to Sept 23Don't be too set about how the week should proceed. Someunpredictable Uranus spontaneity is just what the doctorordered. It will stop you from being too careful and critical!Avoid making mountains out of molehills on Thursday. Themore relaxed you are, the better the day will be.

Too much work will leave loved onesfeeling neglected.

    Aquarius Jan 21 to Feb 19There's nothing more unsettling than an amped-up Aquarian!You'll feel super restless this week and your boredom

    threshold will be at an all-time low. You're definitely not in themood to be told what to do. So make sure you have plenty ofchallenging projects to channel all that excess energy into,otherwise you'll drive yourself [and those around you] crazywith your wild ways.

    Pisces Feb 20 to Mar 20You need to be extra careful with cash this week. You'refeeling impulsive and won't require much encouragement toshop 'til you drop. But you need to reset your money mindset.It's out with spontaneous spending sprees and in with adisciplined approach to finances. Plus side-steppingproblems is not a recipe for romantic success.

    Meldrum tells of bumpy rehabMusic guru Ian "Molly"

    Meldrum has spokenpublicly for the first times i n c e a f a l l a t h i sMelbourne homenearly killed himlast year.

    Th e p o p u la rmusic personality toldreporter about whathappened that evening,h i s a r d u o u srehabilitation and whatthe future holds.

    " I ' m r e a l l y

    good," he said at hisRichmond home.Meldrum looks

    positive but pale as hecontinues a taxing fightto recover from hisinjuries - he had post-traumatic amnesia withsymptoms includingshort-term memory loss anddisorientation.

    He said rehabilitation washelping but admitted the path to a

    full recovery was sapping

    his energy. "It's been a bit of agruelling thing, going to rehab allthe time," he said.

    The 66-year-old spent four

    weeks in hospital after falling 3mdown stairs on December 15. Hehas since been treated at theEpworth Rehabilitation Hospital.

    Friends, family, the

    music industry and the publicrallied behind the music legendand offered countless messagesof support.

    Meldrum seesthe funny side to thespeech therapy he'sneeded because of hishead injuries. "Nowwe've worked out that Iactually do speakfluently, and the worryis the ums and ahs aregone," he said.

    Although thediehard St Kilda fan

    will no doubt be gluedto his TV when histeam plays next, hesaid he could not waitto watch a game live.

    " I k n o w i tsounds tragic, but Ijust can't wait to go tothe footy just to be a

    normal person, in my scarf,whatever I wear and just cheerthem," he said.

    Ubud, a must vis it in Bali.The quiet, touristy town of Ubud isconsidered by many to be the epicenter forarts and culture in Bali. Ubud (pronounced Ew-bood) has developed a reputation as aplace with a posit ive vibe, possiblyexplaining why so many artists and

    naturalists have settled in the lush, greenareas around town.

    Although tourism in Ubud is growing faster thanthe town can keep up, there is still a certain tranquility andhappiness to be found in the clean air. The town hasbecome a popular and peaceful retreat from the partiesand crowded madness of Kuta just two hours away.

    Shopping in UbudThe influx of tourism in Ubud mixed with the

    proximity of so many artists has caused a great deal ofunique boutiques and shops to open. Unlike the tacky,beach-tourist feeling of shopping in Kuta, Ubud providesa much more sophisticated experience.

    Local shops are filled with unique and beautifulcrafts, art work, carvings, jewelery, and gifts to take backhome. The sprawling, indoor Ubud Market caters mostlyto tourists in search of cheap souvenirs. Be sure tohaggle prices - negotiation is expected - or you may endup paying triple what something is worth

    Walking the Rice FieldsUbud has spilled out into its tiny surrounding

    villages, but the growth has not ruined the natural settingof the beautiful surroundings. Green rice fields stillblanket much of the area and can easily be reached byfoot or on bicycle.

    The fields may be hiked along a t wisting path formiles through tiny, thatched-roof villages. You will findthe start of one of the trails just past the small marketoutside the "top" entrance of the Ubud Monkey Forest.

    Hiking these tranquil fields in the morning to thesounds village life beginning is something you will neverforget.

    Get HealthyWith scores of holistic medicine practitioners

    now living around Ubud, it is no surprise that so many

    spas and meditation centers have opened up. In townyou can easily find all types of Eastern and Westernmassage centers, reiki healers, herbal medicine shops,and even acupuncture practitioners.

    The Bodyworks Healing Centre was the first ofsuch places and has been providing natural healing to thelocal people long before Ubud was on the tourist map.

    PetuluA strange, natural phenomenon occurs each

    evening just north of Ubud in the village of Petulu.Thousands of white herons arrive here around 6:00 p.m.and prepare to roost for the night before flying o ff again inthe morning.

    The birds first began coming here after a

    communist massacre in 1965 but no one is surewhy they continue to return. Local lore holds that theseare the souls of those that were killed. Such a predictablegathering of these large and beautiful birds is a spectaclenot to be missed.

    Balinese Dance Perfor mancesNo visit to Ubud is complete without seeing at

    least one traditional dance performance. Although theperformances are very tourist-oriented, this is a greatopportunity to see classic Hindu legends being toldthrough dancers in colorful, traditional costumes.

    Ubud Palace is a popular place providing showsnightly as well as Pura Dalem which has twice-weeklyshows and fire dances performed outside.

    Hindu TemplesUbud and the villages in the surrounding area

    contain dozens of examples of beautiful Hindu Temples.Most temples are free to visit or ask for a small donation.Proper attire is required, although many temples will loanor rent a sarong for your visit.

    Pura Penataran Asih in nearby Pejeng is acharming temple containing the largest bronze kettledrum in the world. The Bronze Age drum is known as the"Moon of Pejeng" and dates back to 300 B.C.

    Pura Besakih on the slopes of Mount Agung is

    Bali's most sacred temple site. A complex of 23 templescan be explored on a day trip from Ubud.Elephant CaveOnly two km south of Ubud lies one of the most

    sacred sites in Bali - Goa Gajah. Also known as theElephant Cave, this Hindu site dates back to the 11thCentury and was nominated as a tentative UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.

    The cave is believed to have been home toHindu priests and the entrance is carved with menacingfigures from Hindu legend. The interior of the cave is darkand contains a few religious relics. The site is still usedfor worship by locals so proper dress is required to enter.

    Ubud Monkey ForestThe shady, green Ubud Monkey Forest is the

    most popular stop for tourists in the town of Ubud itself.Hundreds of playful and interactive Macaque monkeyscall the sacred forest home and roam freely around the

    tree canopy and temple complex.Walking around the winding, moss-covered

    brick paths of the Monkey Forest is a great way to escapethe heat of the afternoon, but mind your belongings. Thesteady stream of tourists has made the monkeys boldenough to even reach into pockets in search of somethinginteresting!

    "Ange's departure marksthe beginning of a new chapter in thestory of the Brisbane Roar, and weare committed to ensuring we havethe right people in place to continuethe club's legacy with furthersuccesses."

    Brisbane supportershe ld a g l immer o f hopePostecoglou would remain afterhe told the crowd on Tuesday:"Why not, let's make it three".

    He said he was pleasedwith the way the city embracedthe Roar and the code in a rugbyleague-dominant town.

    "The last two and a half

    years I have put everything intoleading this club and building aculture that I hoped wouldrepresent this city and our code inthe best possible way," he said.

    "On Sunday we onceagain witnessed how this clubhas become our code's greatestexample of how great our gamecan be."

    If the Roar do makehistory and complete a three-peatof titles it will be withoutPostecoglou, who knocked backa $6 million, four-year deal.

    name with NSL club SouthMelbourne, for whom he won twotitles as both a player and coach.

    West Coast's Kennedy to keep the stut terWest Coast forward JoshKennedy is adamant hisstuttering approach is notto blame for his recentwaywardness in front ofgoal.

    Since booting 7.1 in theopening-round win over the

    Bulldogs, Kennedy has returned4.8, with his trademark stutterrun-up on set shots suddenly notworking for him.

    But the 24-year-old is notconcerned in the slightest, sayinga minor technique issue with hisdrop of the ball was to blame forthe recent misses.

    " M y t e c h n i q u e i sobviously different. It's the way Ilike to do it," Kennedy said aheadof Sunday's clash with Richmondat Docklands.

    "If you want to get downto the nitty gritty, it's probably me

    opening up my shoulder anddropping the ball (that's causedthe inaccuracy).

    "That's probably why I'vebeen missing.

    "I'm working on that duringthe week and making sure I'mgetting every little thing right.

    "For me personally, the lastfew weeks I've missed a fewopportunities.

    "But with the even spread

    we've had up forward andScott Selwood and 'Masto' (ChrisMasten) coming up and kickingtwo, three goals a game now ...it's been great."

    Kennedy's preseason

    was heavily disrupted as hebattled plantar fasciitis - a painfulinflammation in the tissuesupporting the arch of the foot.

    The former Blue wasinitially in doubt for the start of thes e a s o n , b u t e n j o y e d abreakthrough of sorts when hemanaged to snap the tissue hich

    bunch, which releasedmuch of the pain.

    Kennedy has been painfree for about three weeks now, butsaid the problem could resurfacedown the track once the tissue re-

    attached itself."I think I've just got to

    monitor it, keep it taped and

    look after it," Kennedy said."The foot's feeling fine."It's probably more

    now getting used to the loadsof playing each week."

    Kennedy is aiming toregain his goalkicking mojoagainst the Tigers.

    B u t t h e 1 9 4 -centimetre forward is alsokeen to set up a goal for JoshHill, who missed out on acertain goal against Hawthornwhen Kennedy ignored him inthe goalsquare.

    "That was just selfish

    of me. I blazed away," saidKennedy, who ended upmissing the tough running shotnear the boundary line.

    "I just turned and got theball and just wanted to kick a goal Isuppose.

    "It was pretty bad by me butI'll have to get him one later onduring the year."

    Thid w eek gett ingAround Town had the opportunity

    to catch up wit h The M anager of Caf M oka

    Can you please tell us about Caf Moka business and what it does?Caf Moka is a mix of a typical French caf and a boulangerie/patisserie . It is a meeting place whe re you caneat good food for an affordable price. The se rvice is quick, the atmosphere relax,rooms are all air condition andnon smoking. But the smokers are not forgotten as they can use the terasse to sip their afterlunch

    coffee/cigarette.

    The first caf Moka, the one in Seminyak opened in may 1997 because there were more and more westernersliving there and looking for something else than rice for their daily meals. When Canggu area developed many

    customers asked me to open closer to their home, it is why I opened a second one In banjar Anyar in 2002, and soon. Now there are 5 Caf Moka outle ts supplied by a bakery located in Denpasar. The 3 others are in Ubud, Bukit

    and Sanur.

    We do not have so many competitors as we offer a really specific concept of day caf/bakery shop. We reallymaster the French quality cuisine, we focus on quality and regularity of our production. Many French tourist

    passing by ask me: How can you make croissant in Bali that are still better than the one I can get in France.

    The answer is a secret but I still c an leak a part of it for you : A lot of work.

    The most popular dish is the croissant. Try it in sandwiches they are so softer to eat than the one with breads.But with have a lot of must try: Our Cappucino, our fresh Jeruk (Bali mandarine) juice, the flan coco, the dark

    brown bread, the pasta carbonara, the nachos.Our menu is very large and they are all so good.We also bake a lot of wedding and birthday or party cake s.

    My favourite part is what is called human resources management, in big companies. I am currently training the

    management team for them to be able to keep the business running on as well as now when I gonna be too old forthat.

    There is no special challenge for this business, compared to others. The sense of organization, a lot of patienceand the ability to handle administrative matters in the local way are the 3 qualities needed to run a successful

    business in Indonesia.

    Bali is on the way to become the Asian Cote d'Azur. It is then a very good news for its economy. But there are sometraps to avoid which are pollution, land organization and environmental protection.

    After opening the last outlet in Sanur beginning 2012 we gonna have a phase of maturation during which themanagement team will focus on staff training, quality control and productivity improvement.

    I invite you now to just taste our cuisine as one trial worth a hundred words.

    When did Caf Moka first come to Bali and why?

    How do you set yourself apart from your competitors?

    What's the most popular dish on the menu? Or what makes this business so popular?

    What's your favourite part of running this business in Bali?

    What is the most challenging thing about operating this business in Bali ?

    How do you think the economy of Bali will be in the coming years ?

    Lastly, What does the future hold for Caf Moka ?

    Sailing pair score World Cup winsA us t r a l i a ' s w o r l dchampion sa i l i ngp a i r o f M a t h e wBelcher and MalcolmPage have had ap e r f e c t O l y m p i cwarm-up with a brace

    of victories at daytwo of the World Cupin France on Tuesday(AEST).

    The heat was on theworld number one 470 dinghycrew after it suffered a brokenmast during the opening day'sracing, off Hyeres in southernFrance, and limped across thefinish line back in 24th place.

    But the pair kept their cooland bounced back in spectacular

    fashion with two wins fromtwo races, propelling themselvesup to 10th on the regattaleaderboard in this, the fourthround of the World Cup series.

    Belcher said conditions offHyeres were similar to those he isexpecting at the Olympic venue inWeymouth - offering an excitingglimpse of what may be expectedat the Games later this year.

    "Today there wasn'tas much wind but the breezewas still up there and it wasq u i t e c o l d , p e r f e c tpreparation for Weymouthand to come away with twowins is nice," Belcher said.

    Australian young-gunTom Burton continued his

    recent run of good form inHyeres with two victories inthe Laser class.

    The 21-year-old isthird on the overall leaderboard.

    Tom Slingsby, Australia'sworld number one in the Laserclass, managed a couple of third-placed finishes and currently sitssecond overall just one pointbehind New Zealand's AndyMalone.

    Bombers set to target O'BrienEssendon coach JamesHird has vowed to tightenu p o n C o l l i n g w o o ddefender Harry O'Brien inWednesday's Anzac Dayclash.

    O'Brien played himselfback into form as he ran free indefence for 29 damaging touchesin the Magpies' win over PortAdelaide last weekend.

    But Hird said O'Briencould expect far closer attentionin the season's best-attendedhome-and-away clash at the

    MCG on Wednesday."That's the difficulty of

    playing Collingwood ... you wantnumbers around the stoppageand they (Port) would havethrown extra numbers up at thes t o p p a g e t o c o m b a tCollingwood's good midfielders,which leaves someone free," Hirdtold Foxtel's On The Couch.

    "Collingwood was able tomanipulate it so it was Harry.

    They're not the first teamto let Harry go free, but we're verykeen he doesn't do that to us."

    The Bombers go intoWednesday's match unbeaten intheir opening four matches - thelatest an exciting 30-point upset offlag fancies Carlton.

    Hird rated the win over theBlues one of his best in hiscoaching stint at the club.

    "Obviously it's our bestone for the year. Our players roseto that occasion and they ownedthe fact that if we're going to goanywhere, we have to improveagainst good sides, and we did,"

    Hird said."The physicality around

    the ball has been good for us, andthe defensive mindset of our team.

    "We had over 100 points agame kicked against us last year,and that's not going to make you agood team.

    "If you can't defend theground and reduce teams to atleast 80 points a game ... you can'twin."

    Both teams are set tomake key changes for the match,expected to attract a crowd ofmore than 90,000.

    Essendon must plug thegap left by injured forward MichaelHurley, who tweaked a hamstringagainst the Blues.

    Collingwood looks certainto recall veteran forward AlanDidak after he showed he wasover a preseason groin injury witha t w o - g o a l , 2 9 - d i s p o s a lperformance in the reserves at theweekend.

    Need more protein in yourdiet? Try adding worms toyour choco la te muf f i nrecipe mix, or spice up amushroom risotto with asprinkling of grasshoppers.

    "The Insect Cookbook",which comes out on this weekand is written in Dutch, containsthese and other unusual recipesand is intended to promoteinsects as a source of protein.

    "I see this as the nextstep towards the introduction ofinsects on restaurant menus inthe Netherlands. I also expectpeople to buy the book and startcooking with insects at home,"said Marcel Dicke, a professor atWageningen University whichspecializes in food and foodproduction.

    To mark the book launch

    in Wageningen, specialist insectchef Henk van Gurp will try to seta record for cooking the world'sbiggest grasshopper pie.

    Research by scientists atthe university showed thatinsects could provide the bestsource of protein to meet theneeds of a rising population.Currently, 70 percent ofagricultural land is used forlivestock production.

    Dicke said that with theworld population expected to hit

    9 billion by 2050, it willbe difficult to provide enoughprotein for everyone becausethere will not be enough land forraising livestock.

    The nutritional value ofinsects is similar to those of

    meat, and the emission ofgreenhouse gases from insectproduction is a hundred timeslower than in pig production, theuniversity said.

    Dicke said that thebiggest resistance to the use ofinsects as the source ofproteins is likely to be incountries where people areused to eating big portions ofmeat.

    Those who can't bebothered to shop, prepare andcook the bugs for themselvescan sample them at a handful ofrestaurants in the Netherlands.

    Specktakel restaurantin the town of Haarlem, justwest of Amsterdam, servedcustomers a five-course menuof insect dishes last month,while this month's special ismeat pie sprinkled with nuts,seeds and worms.

    B u t M a r k V a nKimmenaede, a chef atSpecktakel, does not expectinsects to become hugelypopular because of theirparticular taste.

    "It doesnot go well with

    f i s h , f o rexample," hesaid.

    " I t i snice to haveo n e o r t w od i sh e s w i thinsects on themenu, but it hasto stay fun."

    Baby Blues win under-20s Origin clashNew South Wales mayhave finally found a groupof players capable ofending Queensland's six-year State of Origin reign,a l though i t m ight beanother five years beforeany of them graduate tothat level.

    T h e B l u e stook out the inauguralunder-20s State ofOrigin clash with agripping 18-14 victoryat Panthers Stadiumon Saturday nightafter surviving a tensefinal 10 minutes asQueensland attackedthe tryline looking tosteal the win.

    But as theBaby Blues clung ont o v i c t o r y w i t h

    desperate defence,they also looked tohave unearthed anumber of future NRL stars andperhaps an Origin saviour or two.

    Most of them have not yetplayed first grade and can onlydream of taking on JohnathanThurston, Billy Slater andCameron Smith at Lang Park.

    But their impressiveperformance would have temptedBlues coach Ricky Stuart, whowas an interested onlooker, tocrack a smile.

    Sydney Roosters prop

    Kane Evans was immense for theBlues and scored the try of thematch in the 24th minute.

    The 192cm forward side-stepped his way through theMaroons defence before sprintingpast full-back Lachlan Maranta ona 42m run to the tryline.

    Queensland was bestserved by centres Edrick Lee,who scored a double, and TautauMoga.

    The first of Lee's doublecame from an 80m bust in the firsthalf, while a powerful run fromMoga set up his second.

    Earlier, Brisbane wingerAaron Whitchurch showed greatcomposure to open the scoring forthe Maroons in the ninth minute offan excellent stabbing grubber

    from Ben Hampton.But it was New South

    Wales which took a 12-8 half-timelead thanks to a well-worked try toChanel Mata'utia, who hadendured a forgetful evening formost of the first half.

    The Newcastle wingerhad spilled the ball twice, the firstleading to Queensland's openingtry, but hit back just before thebreak when he accepted a shortball from centre Cheyse Blair andmanaged to get the ball down inthe corner before crossing thesideline.

    Blues halves Jacob Millerand Harry Siejka, who beat threeplayers on the way to an excellentsolo try to start the second half,controlled the match confidently.

    Both sides had to bespoken to by referee Dave Munroon several occasions as tensionsbuilt in an at-times spiteful clash.

    Blues coach Dean Pay ginfootball is still alive in NSW despite

    drafted former Origingreats in to speak to the playersduring the week, with Stuart tryingto instil the feeling that Originfootball is still alive in NSW despiteQueensland's dominance.

    "He was very passionateabout us being the next generationand the future of Origin," New

    South Wales skipper BoydCordner said after the match.

    "I think wegot a lot out of that."

    P a yadmitted to a fewnervous momentswatching his teamdefending the finalplays, saying he,like most of the5,105-strong crowd,w a s e x p e c t i n gQueensland to haveone final play up itssleeve.

    " W e ' v eseen that in thepast, them being

    four points behind and comingback to get us in the death," hesaid.

    Maroons coach KevinWalters said the efforts of his teamwere "Queensland-like" despitethe loss.

    "It's a disappointing result,but certainly the effort from theplayers was very Queensland-like. I thought the performancewas very Queensland-like," hesaid.

    "And that's what wewanted to get out of the game - bea Queensland team.

    "We had a couple ofchances there that we just couldn'tquite capitalise on in that secondhalf.

    "(New South Wales')defence was really strong on theline. They came up with a couple ofbig plays to shut us down whichkept us out of the match."

    There is no blood, normuch gore. No matador,ei ther , or even hisco l ou r f u l c l oak . I nSouth Korea, bull fightsbull.

    Weighing in at 600 kg to

    over 800 kg (1,322 to over1,764 lb), dun-colored KoreanHanwoo bulls clash heads andhorns in a sand bullring underthe warm sunsh ine o fCheongdo, a rural town in thehills about two hours from thecapital of Seoul.

    O n c e ar e g u l a r v i l l a g eentertainment inS o u t h K o r e a ,bullfighting nearlydied out as the nationr a p i d l y

    industrialized, butfestivals like theannual CheongdoBullfighting Festivalh e l p k e e p t h echerished traditionalive.

    "When I wakeup, the first thing I dois train my bulls,letting them dragtires. Then, I feed them withnutritious porridge," said LeeJin-gu, a 59-year old rancherwho has trained fighting bulls

    for seven years."I once stayed in the

    pens, sleeping next to my bullsfor a week," said Lee, who hadfour of his prize Korean bullsfighting their way through tothe quarter-finals.

    In all, 96 bulls arecompeting for the title ofstrongest bull during thefestival, held in April. The top

    prize of 7 million won($6,200).

    In one bout, last year'schampion, "Fighting", clashedwith "Ggoltong", which means"Dullard," bellowing as heentered the ring and spectatorscheered.

    A f t e r a b o u t t h r e eminutes of shoving amid theclattering of horns, billowingdust and shouting fans, theirduel was finished. "Fighting"made it through to the nextround as his defeated opponent

    gave way and trotted from thering.

    The festival in its currentform has been going on since1 9 9 9 , a l t h o u g h N o r t h

    Gyeongsang province has ahistory of the sport going back athousand years.

    Traditionally, a bullwould have been the prizedpossession of a well-off Koreanfarmer.

    "I was fearful if our bulllost the fight because myparents would scold me," saysSon Mal-jook, 68, who used to

    when she was a younggirl.

    Cheongdo says that itsbullfights are more humanethan those in Spain becausethe bull is not killed by amatador.

    "Spain's bullfight is

    between man and bull andassumes that men will defeatbulls," said Lee Joong Geun,county executive of Cheongdo."But Cheongdo's bullfighting isan energetic fight between twobulls."

    O n e U . S .spectator admittedto being initiallybemused by theconcept of a clash

    of the bulls, but appeared tohave been won over.

    "In the (United) States, Ihave seen rodeo, bronco

    riding, bull riding and alsoroping. But I have never seentwo bulls fighting each otherbefore," said Maria Oliveira.

    Lee Jin-gu, Fighting'sowner, confessed to a deepaffection for his animal.

    "It is a stronger devotionthan parents might havetowards thei r sons anddaughters," he said.

    Swans not d iving after four roundsGoing into this season,Sydney was expected tofill the bottom reaches ofthe eight.

    Yes, we are only a monthi n t o t h e 2 0 1 2campaign and it can allchange dramatically

    week by week but theS w a n s a r eundefeated, and in myo p in i o n , a g o o dchance of finishing inthe top four.

    They had beensolid in winning theirfirst three withoutbe ing comple te lyconvincing, alwaysdoing enough to keeptheir opponents atarms length. But onthe weekend withouttheir two most important players,

    Adam Goodes and ShaneMumford, they completely eclipsedan in-form North Melbourne side.

    Mark Seaby replacedMumford and did a stirring jobagainst the dual-ruck combinationof Hamish McIntosh and ToddGoldstein. And as is the case, theSwans as a team stepped upanother level that many did notthink was possible to ensure thatGoodes wasn't missed as much ashe should be.

    This side is so even. Theyspread the load. Their recycledplayers from other clubs, such asdefenders Ted Richards, MartyMattner and Rhys Shaw - whoblanketed North veteran Brent

    Harvey - continue to improve.Josh Kennedy continues to

    enhance a rapidly growingreputation as one of the mostdamaging clearance players in theleague. Ben McGlynn is a vastlybetter player than when herepresented the Hawks whileformer Bulldog Andrejis Everitt puttogether close to his best leaguegame up forward.

    Jude Bolton, Ryan O'Keefeand Kieran Jack always do whatthey do. So does Jared McVeigh,

    and hasn't Sydney foundsome youngsters! This is a factorthat had been a cause forconcern a few seasons ago.

    Defender Alex Johnsonis only in his second season but

    plays like he hasbeen at this level fora decade. Lewis

    Jetta has alwaysbeen exciting but isn o w m o r econsistent and iskicking goals. Thebroken leg sufferedby the explosiveGary Rohan is amajor blow, but theSwans as usual willmake sure theym o r e t h a nadequately replacehim.

    They playHawthorn in Launceston next

    week, which is another big step.On form it would be hard to gopast them especially if it's close,considering the Hawks' inabilityto win the narrow ones againstth e b e t te r s i d e s i n th ecompetition.

    Expect another match tobe contested with finals-likeintensity, which the Swans love.

    Kangaroos grind down K iwisCameron Smith celebratedhis first Test as Australia'sfull-time skipper with thematch-winning try as theKangaroos he ld o f f apersistent but error-riddledNew Zealand 20-12 at EdenPark on Friday night.

    In Australia's first Test ofthe post-Darren Lockyer era, theKangaroos overcame the sin-binning of full-back Billy Slater tomaintain their dominance of theannual mid-year clash - the Kiwisstill without a win in the Anzac Testsince 1998.

    Having put themselvesback into the contest when ShaunJohnson marked his Test debutwith a 90-metre intercept try to cutthe deficit to two points, the Kiwiswere unable to go on with the job,with Smith sealing the result with ashort-range try 10 minutes fromfull-time.

    "The Kiwis were nevergoing to roll over. We had to fightall the way to the end," SamThaiday told Grandstand.

    "That was a true Australia-New Zealand Test, there wassome tough work."

    The Kiwis will no doubtrue the plethora of errors whichpunctuated their performance,including 41 missed tackles andtwo kicks out on the full, thoughthey can take some heart from thefact it was the third straight mid-year Test decided by 10 points orless.

    "We stuck to our long

    kicking game, and turned their bigfellas around and we got a coupleof errors off them," JohnathanThurston said of the second-halfarm wrestle.

    "It was definitely a grind. Ithought we had enough gas left inthe back half to give ourselves achance. Unfortunately theyscored that try with about 10 togo," he said.

    "We got off to a good start

    but probably took our footoff the pedal a little bit in that firsthalf.

    "A couple of back-to-backerrors which are also to costlyagainst a good team like Australia."

    While the fans gave him anicy reception, there was no specialtreatment for Kiwi-born Australiandebutant James Tamou, who wasthe least productive of theKangaroos front-rowers with 77

    metres from 10 runs.Fellow debutant Johnson

    was left writhing in pain, holding hisshoulder in the opening minutebefore recovering for a memorablefirst Test.

    "Certainly highs and lows.That intercept try is something I'llnever forget, such as buzz running

    in to score, but it wasn't a goodfeeling when I was lying on theground in the first minute of thegame," he said.

    The 21-year-old noted thestep up in intensity.

    "You're playing the best ofthe best players. If you don't comein prepared that it's going to bebrutal, fast and really physicalyou're going to be no show," headded.

    "I thought we matched

    Costly errorsDesperately needing to be

    the first to score after the break, theKiwis had a shocking start to thesecond stanza, with JasonNightingale taken into touch on thethird tackle, Nathan Fien kickingout on the full and conceding apenalty in the first five minutes.

    But their luck turned withJohnson plucking a Cooper Cronkpass in the 46th minute and racing90 metres to drag the home sidewithin two points at 14-12.

    The Kiwi chant went up butit was the Kangaroos who wentclosest when Akuila Uate fumbledjust short of the tryline after JustinHodges had flung the ball infieldwhen tackled into touch byB r i s bane t eam-ma te J os hHoffman.

    The Kiwis continued to betheir own worst enemy as this timeBenji Marshall kicked out on the fullinside his own half, and with David

    Taylor starting to cause damageagainst a tiring defence, Smith lefthis mark as he swivelled over aftera grubber kick bounced back intohis arms.

    In front of a pumped-up35,329-strong crowd that will nodoubt add weight to calls for thematch to remain part of thecalendar, the Kiwis charged out ofthe gates with Issac Luke goingover after team-mate Jeremy Smithhad been held up over the line.

    The Kangaroos hit back asJohnathan Thurston and GregInglis scored four minutes apart toput the visitors in control before

    they lost Slater to the sin bin whenhe was deemed to have committeda professional foul in taking outAlex Glenn as he chased aJohnson kick near the tryline.

    The one-man advantagedid not help the Kiwis, however,with the Australians actuallyextending their advantage beyonda converted try with a penalty justbefore half-time to lead 14-6.

    Swans coach John Longmirebelieved the trade-off between uncertaintyand the absence of glaring errors was oneworth making.

    "Maybe (teams are) a little bit (in thedark) but that's not surprising, because thisis all new. I'm sure we'll sort through the wayit works as we go along," Longmire said.

    "I fully support the video review. For

    me it's not about the delay in the game it'sabout the right decision (being made)."If it takes a bit of time and we (have

    to) iron out a few things during the year, I'mhappy with that."

    N o r t hM e l b o u r n ec o a c h B r a dScott has calledon the AFL toclarify how itsn e w v i d e o

    r e v i e wtechnology isapplied in thec a s e o fi n c o n c l u s i v ereplays.

    T h eKangaroos' 36-pointloss to Sydney on

    Sunday featured the umpires going upstairs three times inthe opening half, the last of which ended with Todd Goldsteinbeing denied a 'touched' goal.

    A handful of Sydney defenders immediately claimedthe ball was touched off the boot, but replays failed to shineany definitive light on the situation.

    Scott was not pleased the goal was scuppered,especially given he had already brought the scenario up withthe league without any luck.

    "You'd love the AFL to clarify - what's the rule? Is itthe lesser score, is it advantage (to) the scoring team whenit's inconclusive? They're making it up as they go along at themoment," Scott said.

    "Do you guys (media) know what the rule is - if it'sinconclusive what do they do?

    "Ask the umpires. But I know that when I ask theumpires I get nothing out of them.

    "...I defy anyone to say that (Goldstein's disallowedgoal) was conclusive.

    "The goal umpire didn't call it touched. I was prettysure he was ready to signal a goal and the field umpire ran into make sure."

    In rugby league, NRL TV referees can give a 'benefitof the doubt' decision in favour of the attacking team inequivalent try-scoring situations.

    It is a hard-and-fast rule for television replays that donot hold up, something Scott suggested the AFL was yet tobroach.

    "We just haven't had it clarified," he said."We have asked the question but it's not very clear to

    anyone at the moment."The AFL's briefing on the topic suggests "if the vision

    cannot assist, the final verdict will then be referred back tothe umpires on field."
