Glass in clubs, Whats the point ?
As a relative newcomer to the night life spectacle of clubbing, luckily i haven't been expose to all that much violence that's associated with not only Northbridge, but clubbing in general. In saying that i can not allow myself to become oblivious to others that are unfortunately being exposed to and in some cases targeted with violence.
In particular glassing is on the rise,which is potentially fatal. The most recent victim of a glassing attack Sean, from Kingsley was struck in face with a glass object.From what he can remember, Sean believes he was walking towards the toilet when he was hit on the left side of his head. This senseless and unprovoked attack resulted in between 80 and 100 stitches to repair the cut to his face and neck the glassing severed veins and arteries in his neck, as well as some nerves in his face.
I believe that the introduction of plastic cups to clubs is vitally needed to curb this anti-social behaviour. There has been some opposition to the introduction of plastic cups, i personally cant see any difference between drinking from a glass opposed to drinking from a plastic. It would not only eliminate glassing cases but also save the clubs money for plastic is far cheaper than glass.
Sooner the plastic the better clubbing will be.

The election 2010 so far ......
If you were to ask me who i was going to vote for i would have to reply, i don't know. Every one of the parties has there good idea's and there down right stupid ones as well, so i cant really choose one at the moment i am leaning towards probably the greens just because they can mediate the two big groups and there stupid policies wont get through.
The Liberal put up a good fight for my vote i mean, they have proven in the past that they are good economical manages and they will get tough on refugees, and crime at a local level. The one major problems i have with the liberals is the workchoices which is the stupidest and perhaps the most greedy policy of all time.
Labour, for just doesn't cut it the entire last term they just had no back bone and where unable to commit i mean take the whaling in the southern ocean they did nothing basically to repremand Japan's slaughter of our innocent whales. There stance on refugees, i mean did they even have a stance because it sure didn't look like it. The shear way that there leader, Ms Gillard got to power was a cruel unaustralian stab in the back. I definitely not voting for Labour.
The greens as stated at the top is my preferred party because they can mediate the major parties and there stupid policies wont get in for example there policy to ban meat, i mean come on seriously just a bit radical.
My final opinion is that all the politician we have at the moment are out of date and out of touch and certainly past there use by date. In my opinion a major shake up of the parliament is needed, for example new blood and fresh ideas.

The Special Moment that Lasted 10 Days
This special moment happened this year actually about June time, but before i tell you about the moment or moments let me give you the back story. About mid way though last year (2009) i was wondering what i should do next year, i decided that putting my name into the ballot for the STS Young Endeavor youth program would be fun but the chances of getting pick were slim at best, but as fate would have it early this year i received a call saying they would like to offer me a spot on the Newcastle to Brisbane voyage. Needless to say i was a bit apprehensive of going on a boat that rocked in the waves with a bunch of strangers that i had never met before in a state far away from my home. Eventually i agreed to go on the adventure.
It all began in the port city of Newcastle on the north eastern coast of New South Wales, previously there had been a mini tornado a few kilometers up the coast the day before needless to say but there was torrential rain, and the waves out side the bay looked a bit like a washing machine. After we had spent the first day in port learning the basics, we headed out into the unknown and the storm. it was in that storm that my physical and mental boundaries would be pushed. The first of them was the seasickness, i have never felt so bad and doubt i ever will it was like shear death. Which made all the other things i did with the sickness all the more challenging like mid storm when my watch had guts watch which is from midnight to four in the morning (the worst of all the watches) we were ordered to untie one of the main squaresail. Now i am not one for heights, being a shortie my self but this really pushed my comfort zone 30 meters up, wind and rain blasting you, and the boat rocking violently, all this while your standing on a thin bit of rope, undoing the sail. Mind you the biggest motivation was that i wasn't alone up there, my whole watch was up there with me, so i had the feeling i couldn't let them down. That is perhaps my most memorable moment and then arriving at Jail Bay to a beautiful red dawn, magical. The best cure for sea sickness is hugging a tree and that's just what i did.

How Blogging is PR
Public Relations is its most basic form is connecting a company, corporation, or high profile figure to the public, and establishing trustworthy relationships with them. How does blogging help this ? It helps by allowing the public to follow a company, corporation, or high profile figure though there day to day working's. this helps establish that there not just a name there are people behind the name, that has a personality and a history. This is especially useful when your a company or a high profile figure that relies on the public to support them or buy there consumables and products.
The blogging aspect also is conducted on the Internet to which in Australia/Oceania 61.3% of the population is connected to. This allows mass communication across the country and global region. I also believe that due to the nature of blogging it is a medium that focus towards connecting to the techno savvy youth of today, by sharing similarities with popular social networking sites like facebook, myspace and twitter.
That is my personal view of why blogging is useful in Public Relations.
