This is an Australian striated pardalote. Striated means striped. It is very small, around the size of a wren. They are not easily photographed because of their size and the fact that they stay in shadow most of the time because they are rather easy prey for our raptor population.

A Wisconsin teacher was arrested this week over allegations that she engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a 5th-grade student.

Police arrested 24-year-old Madison Bergmann, a teacher at River Crest Elementary in Hudson, Wisconsin, on Wednesday after receiving information "regarding inappropriate conduct between a current teacher and a 5th grade student," according to WCCO-TV.

That information came from the 11-year-old student's parents, who had discovered evidence of the inappropriate relationship from text messages between their son and Bergmann. Police said the text messages included details about the alleged relationship, which included "kissing, touching, and making out."

I have been to Spain dozens of times. My kid brother is an overseas toolpush living in Portugal with his Italian-Argie old lady and their kids.

Spain and Portugal are cheap by West European standards. So is Southern Italy. But, most of the countries that made up the former Yugoslavia are cheaper.

Are pensions quite limited in Australia caskur askur?

I guess pensions stretch further in Spain than Australia eh?

Three bodies found...

2 Western Australians and their American friend...

I think I will go ball my eyes out now.

threw away their lives for NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.

and in the process hurt their moms, their dads, their siblings, everyone who gave a shit about them. For what? so that a few people on twitter and theync could laugh at their stupid asses and piss on their stupid ass memory like I'm proudly do right now? Free Palestine? The people in Palestine would take your mom and your sister hostage and rape their asses and send them home to you in dollar tree bags. And you're setting yourself on fire for them?

stupid fucking asshole. Good fucking riddance and I only hope you never had a chance to procreate

The news shows pictures of terrified kids, 7 yrs old  and under screaming in hospitals and that is very tough viewing. I stopped watching 2 weeks after it started and pretty much stuck to that.

I have zero sympathy to anyone supporting what they did to the Israeli.... or making excuses. I don't want to hear them.


I feel the Israeli are sending a message to neighbouring Muslim countries and that massage is, you will not do to us what happened in the 2nd WORLD War. We mean business and we will act on our threats and carry them out fully.

We have two Perth WA MEN missing in Baja California Mexico.... their burned out 4 door Ute has been found. They were surfing in a remote location... 1 woman has been arrested for having one of the Brothers cell phones. One of the bothers is a doctor who works in a hospital 10 minutes from me. ALSO THE FBI is involved because there is a third man missing and he is American.

I am so angry the subhuman scum may have murdered a doctor...doctors are so bloody important and take years of strenuous study to become one..

The two brothers are dropdead gorgeous.... stupid Australians are so fucking naieve they think the world is safe like Australia when it's not.

If they are dead, I hope the parents find their bodies fast and bring them home..

But are they safe?... Mexico isn't safe. Spain looks safe.


I really encourage to watch that when you have spare time.   It's bloody good.
