Footy show causes furore:

24/7 Cycling Safety Fund:

What a huge success yet again! A record 1,498 runners

competed in the 5km, 10km and Half Marathon events. Ben

Maccronan took out the Half, with Jamie Simmonds and Paul Dodd

finishing second and third. In the women’s, Clare Geraghty crossed

the line first, followed by Roxie Fraser and Clare Durrant.

What an amazing year to be a Queenslander, first

the nation witnessed the amazing community spirit that united the

state and communities through the floods and cyclone, and now we

have just finished celebrating our fourth major sporting achievement

for the year. First it was the Brisbane Roar, who created Soccer history

with a 28 game winning streak, then the Firebirds created netball

history winning their premiership undefeated, Queensland chalked

up a sixth straight origin series and finally the Queensland Reds have

won their first ever Super Rugby championship! Could the Broncos

win the NRL premiership to cap off the year?

Channel 9 bosses have moved quickly to

make amends for the damage caused by the derogatory slurs about

Ipswich on their NRL “Footy Show’. Mayor Paul Pisasale was outraged

over comments that he labelled “offensive to the women of Ipswich

and demeaned the city and the game”. He said Ipswich could take

a joke but the offending piece “was not funny”.

A trust has been set up to raise money to

build a safe cycling facility in Ipswich, following the death of local

Ipswich cyclist Narelle Dobinson. Her death was the second in a short

time for the Ipswich cycling community. For more information or to

make a donation go to yellowjersey.com.au.

Emotional Happiness:

With increasing economic jitters there has been

renewed calls from industry groups to scrap the controversial Carbon

Tax. The tax is due to be implemented on July 1st next year, and

according to the Government “fundamental reforms like pricing

carbon are essential to strong economic growth into the future

essential business investment and strong growth”. Despite the extra

financial burden of the proposed Carbon Tax, the Government says

it will provide other tax cuts, increases in family payments, higher

pensions and other benefits to assist households. To have your say on

the ‘Clean Energy Legislative Package’, go to the Department of

Climate Change and Smart Energy website!

Google + is the fastest growing social networking site,

growing much more rapidly than Facebook, Myspace and Twitter

did in their early days, according to technology experts. But whether

it can pose a serious threat to Facebook, which currently has 750

million members, remains to be seen. Google + which was launched

by the internet search and advertising giant on June 28, had 25

million visitors in its first month.

A new study has found craving fatty food is

linked to our emotions, that is why when you have a crappy day you

crave a pizza and chocolate! So don’t feel bad!

CCTV Thief:

Chocoholic fish:

Sheep, Goat or Geep?:

Nothing makes the police’s job easier than a CCTV close

up of a criminal. And that’s exactly what one thief did when he

broke into a boat yard to steal a dinghy. The man climbed up a pole

that supported the yard’s security camera to disable the device, but

in doing so got his whole face on camera.

Staff at a London Aquarium have managed to

wean a chocoholic fish raised on Kit Kats onto a healthier diet. Staff

at the Aquarium initially could not understand why ’Gary’, an

inherited 4 kilogram, 40cm Gourami, refused to eat. They later

discovered he had been fed on nothing but chocolate by his

previous owners.

A farm on NSW’s Central

Coast is the proud carer of the unusual animal born

earlier this month. The Geep is born of a Ewe, but is

a throw back from its father that has Goat Genes.

It sounds bizarre but this unusual animal is officially

known as a geep.

FIT TIPS FOR HEALTHY ME

1. Don’t be too hard on yourself,

sometimes it all comes down to genetics, some

people are prone to put on weight in certain

areas!

2. Shrinking your

stomach will depend on lots of cardiovascular

exercise including running, swimming and

cycling, which will help burn fat all over your body.

3. The road to reducing your muffin top doesn’t

mean hours in the gym, breaking up training into shorter, intense

sessions are great for fat burning.

4. Doing regular core muscle exercises or a regular

yoga class, will tighten and tone stomach area and keep muffin tops

at bay.

5. A well balanced diet, full of lean meat,

fish and cartloads of fruit and vegies will make your job easier. Try to

avoid anything high in sugar and fat and anything processed.

6. Make a schedule at the start of

the week and stick to it.

Genetics:

Don’t just target your stomach:

Shorter sessions:

Strengthen Core:

It’s not just about exercise:

Make it part of your daily routine:

FUNNY BONEI was on the subway, sitting on a newspaper, and a guy comes overand asks "Are you reading that?" I didn’t know what to say. So I saidyes. I stood up, turned the page, and sat down again.

A guy shows up late for work. The boss yells "You should have beenhere at 8:30!" he replies: "Why? What happened at 8:30?”

My grandfather always said, "Don't watch your money; watch yourhealth." So one day while I was watching my health, someone stolemy money. It was my grandfather.
