26. Following the stroll past "Emerge Artspace", seeing the most amazing Lioness. If only I had a spare $4,500 and a spare wall to hang it on.

Artist Sharon Dawes " Animals have been used to facilitate this exploration because of their interesting array of superficial (external) coverings, such as fur, skin, feathers; textures that are an integral part of an animal's form and character. I have chosen to paint animals that have been introduced to Australia1, post 1788, because of my own personal history, an interest in journeys into the unknown/early explorations and the role animals have played as 'place makers' in the settling of Australia (European Settlement). I have also painted animals to elevate the animal in modern times and to highlight the animal's plight in what, I believe, is oft a neglected chapter in Australia's history2."Address:676A Beaufort StreetMT LAWLEY WA 6050 ♥ BEAUTY

♥ Welcome to my life part II

♥ Welcome to my life.

♣ I am sure Seamus Heaney is what is now known as an EMO (emotional), and probably thought of self mutilation, as he poetry is depressing me. I suspected he enjoyed his pain and anguish. He should have his own FML blog, as I swear to god his political poetry is enough to make me wanna say FHisL.
♣ I love to feel better about my life when I read the http://www.fmylife.com/ .
♣ Some good FML stories to make you feel better about your life "Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, by text, while we were in the same room. FML" . Story 2 Today, after coming home from hanging out with a few friends, my mom told me that I shouldn't hang out with them any more. Why? Because "they are way hotter than I am and I'll never get a boyfriend if I'm always the ugly one in my group." FML .
♣ I love idea of the Casio Graphics, but how the hell do I use it (it has all the apps). The HP is easier, or is it that I am more comfy with it.
♣ I only love original flavoured Sakata's.
♣ I love my leavers jacket, even though it did come on the last day of school.
♣ I love that my final literature essay on Frankenstein was written only hours ago in a mammoth essay writing session and is now emailed to the teacher.
♣ I am spending my days doing revision essay's on depressing Heaney, eerie Shelley, Shakespeare.
♣ I need to go to "Office Works" to get my stock of pens, pencils for my mocks next week.
♣ I ♥ spending my week doing physic & literature revision workshops ( NOT)!.
♣ I enjoyed going to the movies to see UP, and yes SD it was cry worthy.
♣ I actually am on school holidays. However I am spending more time doing school work than I did when I was at school. How does this work?
♣ My car is being painted, and no driving lessons for me this weekend.
♣ I love sleeping, as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with studying.
♣ I am sure when I was 8 and had to go to "St Michael's day" the service lasted like 3-4 hours, I am sure when I went to my last "St Michael's day" the service was only 1 and a bit hours how can this be?
♣ Ways to avoid studying, watch "Secret life of Bee's " with the family.
♣Watched the new season of "Survivor Samoa" after Sunday family dinner. Tips on how to tell a "hottie rocket scientist" is a geek. When he wants to "factor in the wind", when building a shelter of sticks and palm fronds in the middle of nowhere.
♣Watched the new season of "Criminal Minds". I forgot how good this show is.
♣Watched the new series pilot of "The Forgotten". Didn't seem that great a show but wasted 45 mins of my life.
♣Watched "Lie to Me". I have not watched so much TV before in avoidance.
♣ Ride my bike to break up the monotony of studying.
♣ Dream of when this is all over.

Junior Worlds Womens't Team Pursuit

♥ ♥ It looks like "Felix Felicis" again was not required .

written by cycling australia

The women's line up of newly crowned individual pursuit World Champion, Michaela Anderson, Megan Dunn and Melissa Hoskins clocked 3min28.363 to defeat Russia's Elena Lichmanova, Lidia Malakhov and Maria Mishina (3min32.487sec) in the 3km team pursuit final. The time of the Australian trio clipped three seconds off their qualifying time and topped the previous Australian record of 3min37.138sec set by the 2008 Australian women's team in South Africa at last year's Championships. Their time also lowered the world best time mark of 3min32sec ridden at the European Championships earlier this year. The World Record for the event, introduced last year, has not previously been credited but Australian team management have submitted the time to be listed as the first official World Record for the 3km women's team pursuit.

Wednesday, 12 August 2009 ..article written by Cycling Australia.

West Australian Michaela Anderson was won the gold medal and her team mate, Amy Cure

from Tasmania,the silver in the 2km indvidual pursuit at the UCi Junior Track Cycling World Championships in Moscow.

Anderson, who turns 17 on Friday, posted a time in the final of 02min26.282sec to win the crown in the showdown with Cure, 16, who rode 2min27.207sec for the silver medal.

"I am so excited right now I still can't believe I'm World Champion- it's an early birthday present," said Anderson. "I'm happy with the time and so happy with the result, in fact I'm just a really happy person."

Both Anderson and Cure posted personal best times to qualify for the gold medal final with Cure setting her mark of 2min25.983sec early in the qualifying round while Anderson was in the tenth heat.

"Amy did a good time and I knew she'd be up there but I thought if I could match her time or do better then hopefuly I'd make it into one of the finals (gold or bronze rides)," said Anderson. "I did my usual warm up and it was all good up until the last ten minutes before qualifying when I started to get really nervous and began to realise this is what I've been training for, this was the 'big event'."

By the end of her ride Anderson, with a time of 2min25.929sec, had slotted into the top qualifying spot and Cure was sitting in second but the Australian pair had a nervous 40 minute wait to see if any other riders would better their times.

"Then when we realised we were in the final we celebrated but then we realised we had to actually race each other," said Anderson. "So it was great to begin with but then 'Oh not too good'."

Despite this being their first outing at a World Championships the pair handled the pressure well in the lead up to the final.

"It was pretty nerve wracking because we're in the same team together but we were just chilling out and trying to relax and probably not talking much but you don't talk much anyway when you are focussed," said Cure. "As the final approached I was pretty nervous because this was everything I've trained for and it comes down to this moment."

Anderson admits she was also feeling the pressure.

"Timmy (coach Tim Dekker) came up to me and said' you've worked so hard and I know you want it but you're going to have to fight really hard for this'," explained Anderson. "Amy and I have been racing together for so long we know each other's strengths and weaknesses so it was a bit like the past four years of nationals when we've raced each other.

"Rolling up for the final I have never been so nervous in my life but so excited at the same time," said Anderson adding that during the race she lost track of Dekker's signals. "I didn't really see where Tim was standing so I was not entirely sure how I was going against Amy but I just gave it everything and at the end it was amazing to realise I'd actually pulled it off."

In other day one competition on the track the team sprint combination Matthew Glaetzer, James Glasspool and Maddison Hammond came agonisingly close to a medal with their time of 1min00.872sec in the bronze medal final. They were pipped by just four thousandths of a second by Poland. The gold medal was won by New Zealand in a time of 1min00.236sec with Germany claiming silver in a time of 01min00.955sec.

South Australia's Annette Edmondson also finished fourth in the 500m time trial with a time of 35.925sec. The gold medal went to China's Tianshi Zhong in 35.561sec ahead of Rebecca Angharad from Great Britain (35.784sec) with French rider Olivia Montaban third in 35.874sec.
