Early life

Day was born in  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaudesert,_Queensland" rel="nofollow - Beaudesert, Queensland  to an  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Australian" rel="nofollow - Irish Australian  father and  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_people" rel="nofollow - Filipino  mother. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Day_%28golfer%29#cite_note-4" rel="nofollow - [4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Day_%28golfer%29#cite_note-5" rel="nofollow - [5]  His father took him to Beaudesert Golf Club and enrolled him as a junior member just past his sixth birthday. He was allowed to play six holes a day as a junior. At the age of eight his family moved to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockhampton,_Queensland" rel="nofollow - Rockhampton  and during this period he began to win events in the surrounding districts.

Day's mother sent him to school at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kooralbyn,_Queensland" rel="nofollow - Kooralbyn , just a 30 minute drive south of Beaudesert.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kooralbyn_International_School" rel="nofollow - The Kooralbyn International School  has a golf course attached. Later he was to go to Hills International College where they have a Golf Academy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Day_%28golfer%29#cite_note-6" rel="nofollow - [6]  at the behest of his coach, Col Swatton, who had moved there when Kooralbyn school closed down.

Day borrowed a book about  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods" rel="nofollow - Tiger Woods  from his roommate and it inspired him to improve his golf by practicing in the early morning, at lunch-time and in the evening. He used the book's reports of Woods's scores as his benchmark for improvement and as a reachable standard. His first big win was at the age of 13 in a 2000 Australian Masters junior event on the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast,_Queensland" rel="nofollow - Gold Coast  where he won with scores of 87, 78, 76 and 76. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Day_%28golfer%29#cite_note-7" rel="nofollow - [7]

Here's a funny story....one told to me today and confirmed by another, my mate  the "WA RACING ENCYCLOPAEDIA".

It's about a high profile racing trainer in WA who has had great success with a particular horse in the last few years.

How he has a licence is beyond me.

Here's the story.

He robs a TAB in K

He wears a stocking over his head,gun in hand

Shouts in TAB "This is a robbery"...(then all starts to go wrong...in a funny way)

A punter replies:

"Come on *******, the fun's over,we know it's you!!!!!"

* extra *'s ,just in case there's a slight chance this story is false.

Here's a good story....A SAINT and not so not so saintly...part 1 of 3

MacKillop began her first school in stables at the Royal Oak Hotel where she lived for a time at Penola – the heart of the Coonawarra wine country. When she was a young governess, she would ride her horse through the Greenrise swamp to Mass every Sunday (Mary MacKillop was habitually a very fine horsewoman who never rode sidesaddle as this painting suggests)

Here's the same story with the non-saintly tag.

But the mantle of sainthood never fell so lightly on the Waterhouses. The Waterhouses have been bête noirs to your correspondent’s for more years than he cares to remember. It all began with the Fine Cotton substitution scam in 1983.


Your correspondent was a reporter on The Australian Financial Review at the time and for some reason he made mention of the incident a few years later and it became a cause célèbre among he legal fraternity.


I am still unsure exactly what I said but it can’t have been very pertinent because in those days I thought horses were things you climbed on board, put your feet in the stirrups, picked up the reins, stuck your heels into the flanks and loudly called YEEHAA as you charged off into the sunset.


Wiki tells me today the scam involved a syndicate which purchased a horse that looked almost identical to Fine Cotton but performed better. Unfortunately for the syndicate, this horse was injured and unable to race when the ring-in was due to take place. Having already invested money and gone so far, the syndicate decided to find another horse. With time running out, they purchased a horse called Bold Personality, an open-class horse several grades above Fine Cotton.


The syndicate faced a problem in that the horses were different colours. Fine Cotton was an eight year old brown gelding and had white markings on his hind legs, whereas Bold Personality was a seven year old bay gelding with no markings.


To overcome this issue, they applied Clairol hair colouring to Bold Personality with limited success. On race day, having forgotten the peroxide to whiten the legs of Bold Personality, they resorted to crudely applied white paint. These poorly conceived attempts to overcome the discrepancies in appearance between the two horses later served to highlight the amateurish nature of the scheme.


Because most of the betting plunge on the race was on NSW racecourses, the Australian Jockey Club in Sydney held its own inquiry and warned-off bookmakers Bill and Robbie Waterhouse and seven others, including Catholic priest Edward O'Dwyer, for having prior knowledge of the ring-in.


Robbie Waterhouse has consistently denied he participated in the scheme or knew of the details. The Waterhouses had bet on Fine Cotton in amounts that suggest they knew Fine Cotton's chances were greater than his form suggested.


Whether this was due to a tip or knowledge of the scam has been the subject of considerable speculation. What is known is that the involvement of the Waterhouses infuriated other bookmakers who stood to lose as a result.


The warning-off later presented a problem for Robbie's wife Gai Waterhouse, daughter of training legend Tommy J. Smith, when she applied for a trainer's licence from the AJC. After much pressure by Gai on the AJC she gained her licence to train.


In 1998, after being banned for 14 years, Bill and Robbie Waterhouse were allowed back on to Australian racecourses. Since then, Robbie has had a number of controversial run-ins with racing stewards.


Fine Cotton died on February 20, 2009, aged 31. Gai and Robbie’s son Tom is now a bookmaker in his own right and Gai is Queen of the Turf in Sydney. Gai Waterhouse had never won a Caulfield Cup till now. Her Dad, Tommy Smith, won four Caulfield Cups, two Melbourne Cups – and an amazing seven WS Cox Plates: She must have been well bred.

Stephen Fry hosts a TV programme called QI...(means quite interesting)

An amazing story was told that would make  ESSENDON and Rugby players look like pussies.

TRUE STORY.

In the summer of 1937 Buckley was approached by a chemist called Menzies Sharp. He claimed he had a "secret remedy that would give the players confidence". It is believed that Sharp's ideas were based on the experiments of  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff" rel="nofollow - Serge Voronoff , a French doctor, who had been born in Russia. Between 1917 and 1926, Voronoff carried out over five hundred transplantations on sheep and goats, and also on a bull, grafting testicles from younger animals to older ones. Voronoff's observations indicated that the transplantations caused the older animals to regain the vigor of younger animals.

Sharp's "gland treatment" involved a course of twelve injections. Buckley later explained: "To be honest, I was rather sceptical about this treatment and thought it best to try it out on myself first. The treatment lasted three or four months. Long before it was over I felt so much benefit that I asked the players if they would be willing to undergo it and that is how the gland treatment became general at Molineux."

Two Wolves players,  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLdorsettD.htm" rel="nofollow - Dicky Dorsett  and  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLbilton.htm" rel="nofollow - Don Bilton , refused to undergo the "gland treatment". According to Patrick A. Quirke, the author of  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Major-Life-Times-Frank-Buckley/dp/0752436066/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218956613&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow - The Major: The Life and Times of Frank Buckley  (2007): "Dorsett, a well-established and experienced footballer, had stood up to Major Buckley's insistence (some might say bullying) on a number of occasions."

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLbilton.htm" rel="nofollow - Don Bilton  recalls that he was signed by Major Buckley from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_City_F.C." rel="nofollow - York City . On his arrival at the club he was instructed by Buckley to report to the medical room for gland injections. Bilton replied: "I'm sorry Sir, but I am only seventeen and still under my father's guidance. He will not want me to have injections." Buckley told him that he was under contract and had to do as he was told. Bilton's father went to see Buckley the following day and after a heated row the manager backed-down. However, Bilton claimed that: "Buckley was not at all pleased by this and I never did much good at Wolves after that!"

Rumours circulated that Wolves players were being injected with "gland extracts from animals".  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/ARSENALlawton.htm" rel="nofollow - Tommy Lawton , who was a member of the  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Feverton.htm" rel="nofollow - Everton  team that lost 7-0 to Wolves, believed that these injections were improving the performance of the players. He claimed that before the game he tried to speak to  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLVcullis.htm" rel="nofollow - Stan Cullis but "he walked past me with glazed eyes".

On 9th April, 1938,  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLdorsettD.htm" rel="nofollow - Dicky Dorsett  and  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WOLwestcott.htm" rel="nofollow - Dennis Westcott  both scored four goals when Wolves beat  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_City_F._C." rel="nofollow - Leicester City  10-1. After this defeat the club complained to Montague Lyons, the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester" rel="nofollow - Leicester  member of the  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Pcommons.htm" rel="nofollow - House of Commons  that the Wolves players were being injected with  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff" rel="nofollow - monkey glands . Lyons demanded that the government instigate an investigation into this treatment. When  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Elliot_%28politician%29" rel="nofollow - Walter Elliot , the Minister of Health, rejected this request,  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/TUshinwell.htm" rel="nofollow - Emanuel Shinwell , the  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Plabour.htm" rel="nofollow - Labour  MP, suggested that considering Wolves' impressive form, ministers of the  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Pconservative.htm" rel="nofollow - Conservative  government should be put on a course of these injections.

The  http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Fleague.htm" rel="nofollow - Football League  carried out an investigation into the "monkey gland" treatment. However, it refused to ban these injections but they did arrange for a circular to be posted in the dressing rooms of every club in England and Wales. This declared that players could take monkey glands but only on a voluntary basis

Reputation and legacy

In the 1990s, Voronoff's negative reputation was softened. In November 1991, one of the oldest peer-reviewed medical journals in the world,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lancet" rel="nofollow - The Lancet , suggested that the file on Voronoff's work be reopened and in particular that "the Medical Research Council should fund further studies on monkey glands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-Lancet-6" rel="nofollow - [6]  By 1994, there were calls for a qualified apology from the orthodox medical establishment for dismissing Voronoff's work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-secret-20" rel="nofollow - [20]  In particular, since modern medicine has established that the Sertoli cells of the testes constitute a barrier to the immune system, rendering the testes an immunologically privileged site for the transplantation of foreign tissue, the thin slices of monkey testicles Voronoff implanted into the patient's testicles may in theory have survived to produce some benefit. There have recently been successful experiments reducing insulin requirements in diabetics by implanting into them pancreatic islet cells from pigs coated in Sertoli cells to insulate them from attack by the immune system. No immunosuppressive drugs were required. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-25" rel="nofollow - [25]  In 1998, the sweeping popularity of  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagra" rel="nofollow - Viagra  brought forth references to Voronoff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-monkey-22" rel="nofollow - [22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-26" rel="nofollow - [26]  However, in 1999, some speculated that the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS" rel="nofollow - AIDS  virus discovered in the 1980s entered the human population through Voronoff's transfer of monkey parts into humans in the 1920s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-27" rel="nofollow - [27]

By 2003, Voronoff's efforts in the 1920s reached trivia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoid" rel="nofollow - factoid  status for newspapers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-28" rel="nofollow - [28]  However, as recently as 2005, Voronoff's work in the 1920s and 1930s was noted for setting the basis for the modern anti-aging strategy of replacing hormones—the internally secreted substances that decline with age—to regain the vitality and physical attributes associated with youth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-29" rel="nofollow - [29]  Such practices are currently advocated by alternative medicine organizations such as the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Academy_of_Anti-Aging_Medicine" rel="nofollow - American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Voronoff#cite_note-Haber2004-30" rel="nofollow - [30]

Panda pornography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#mw-navigation" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#p-search" rel="nofollow -

Panda pornography (or panda porn) refers generally to movies depicting mating pandas, intended to promote  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sexual_behaviour" rel="nofollow - sexual arousal  in captive  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_panda" rel="nofollow - giant pandas . Under  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo" rel="nofollow - zoo  conditions, the animals have in general proven unenthusiastic about  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating" rel="nofollow - mating , placing their species in danger of  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction" rel="nofollow - extinction . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#cite_note-1" rel="nofollow - [1]

[ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panda_pornography&action=edit&section=1" rel="nofollow - edit ]History

The method was popularized following reports of an experiment performed by  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoologist" rel="nofollow - zoologists  in  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand" rel="nofollow - Thailand , in which they showed several captive giant pandas at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Mai_Zoo" rel="nofollow - Chiang Mai Zoo  a number of pornographic videos featuring other giant pandas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#cite_note-2" rel="nofollow - [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#cite_note-3" rel="nofollow - [3]  Though the researchers behind the project state that they believe in a successful mating due to usage of pornographic movies for animals, such success so far has not been achieved outside of  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China" rel="nofollow - China , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#cite_note-4" rel="nofollow - [4]  where 31 cubs were born over a ten-month period following commencement of the experiment. Other methods, including the use of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagra" rel="nofollow - Viagra , to stimulate pandas have thus far been unsuccessful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_pornography#cite_note-5" rel="nofollow - [5]

So evolution preserves species that are "beneficial to the planet" ? A novel idea, but one that would have seen all of us vanish, imo, because I can't see how life on  Earth is a nett beneficiary of our presence, considering it is undergoing a mass extinction event right now comparable to those of the geologic past, and all caused by us. Tell me you were just joking. Wink

With Danny Nikolic found guilty on two charges relating to threats made to Victorian racing's chief steward it came as pleasant surprise when we switched on the telly to see the John Tapp and David Van Dyke interview.

After one of his horses had a positive swab returned for 'elephant juice' Van Dyke's (previously known as Hayes) world was turned upside down and he was disqualified from training and eventually walked away from the game completely.

Falling into depression, getting stomach ulcers, seeing numerous councillors and living a life of drugs and alcohol he eventually tried to take his own life by gassing himself in his car. He survived this after a man walking his dog just happened to be passing an area where Van Dyke thought no one would find him.

Thus started a very long road to recovery and with the help of his friends Chris Waller and Tim Martin he got himself back into racing when he joined Waller's stable. He describes it as "unconditional love" from his mates who stood by him through the bad times, who accepted him and gave him positions.

"It's good to have friends that you can turn to in these situations and both of them really made a positive impact on my life and where I have got to now," VanDyke said.

Three years ago Van Dyke returned to racing and it was Hidden Gem (who was given to him by Terry Mullens) that won back to back Sydney races that kick started his career again. Bag of Nickels was another "stunning looking mare" who won at Rosehill and then a duel metro winner, Choice Words, came along.

His saviour and salvation has been Lamasery who's record is outstanding, winning over $400,000 so far, including a listed race win and a couple of Group 3's. Again it was a friend in Sam Mayer that stood by Van Dyke that originally bought the horse off Darley. Peter Snowden told Mayer that he was a nice horse that just needed time. Mayer purchased him and gave him to Van Dyke to train and fill in the gaps while they got a few other horses ready.

VanDyke said that his second preparation with him was when Lamasery worked out what he had to do and thus began his winning record.

In what was a very humble and honest interview with John Tapp, Van Dyke, who has been given a second chance, has put his demons behind him and is back doing what he does best. With good advice and assistance from those close to him he is back being a success.

It's never too late to make amends and get your life back on track without giving up, just ask Van Dyke.

Lets get into it hey?

Gambling is one of mankind’s oldest activities, as evidenced by writings and equipment found in tombs and other places. It was regulated, which as a rule meant severely curtailed, in the laws of ancient China and Rome as well as in the Jewish Talmud and by Islam and Buddhism, and in ancient Egypt inveterate gamblers could be sentenced to forced labour in the quarries. The origin of gambling is considered to be divinatory: by casting marked sticks and other objects and interpreting the outcome, man sought knowledge of the future and the intentions of the gods. From this it was a very short step to betting on the outcome of the throws. The Bible contains many references to the casting of lots to divide property. One well-known instance is the casting of lots by Roman guards (which in all likelihood meant that they threw knucklebones) for the garment of http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/303091/Jesus-Christ" rel="nofollow - Jesus during the Crucifixion. This is mentioned in all four of the Gospels and has been used for centuries as a warning example by antigambling crusaders. However, in ancient times casting lots was not considered to be gambling in the modern sense but instead was connected with inevitable destiny, or fate. Anthropologists have also pointed to the fact that gambling is more prevalent in societies where there is a widespread belief in gods and spirits whose benevolence may be sought. The casting of lots, not infrequently dice, has been used in many cultures to dispense justice and point out criminals at trials—in Sweden as late as 1803. The Greek word for justice, dike, comes from a word that means “to throw,” in the sense of throwing dice.

European history is riddled with edicts, decrees, and encyclicals banning and condemning gambling, which indirectly testify to its popularity in all strata of society. Organized gambling on a larger scale and sanctioned by governments and other authorities in order to raise money began in the 15th century with lotteries—and centuries earlier in China with http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/314936/keno" rel="nofollow - keno . With the advent of legal gambling houses in the 17th century, mathematicians began to take a serious interest in games with randomizing equipment (such as dice and cards), out of which grew the field of http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/477493/probability-and-statistics" rel="nofollow - probability theory .

Apart from forerunners in ancient Rome and Greece, organized sanctioned http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/561041/sports" rel="nofollow - sports betting dates back to the late 18th century. About that time there began a gradual, albeit irregular, shift in the official attitude toward gambling, from considering it a sin to considering it a vice and a human weakness and, finally, to seeing it as a mostly harmless and even entertaining activity. Additionally, the http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/291494/Internet" rel="nofollow - Internet has made many forms of gambling accessible on an unheard-of scale. By the beginning of the 21st century, approximately four out of five people in Western nations gambled at least occasionally. The swelling number of gamblers in the 20th century highlighted the personal and social problem of pathological gambling, in which individuals are unable to control or limit their gambling. During the 1980s and ’90s, pathological gambling was recognized by medical authorities in several countries as a cognitive disorder that afflicts slightly more than 1 percent of the population, and various treatment and therapy programs were developed to deal with the problem.

Now let me tell you part 2 of this wonderful story.

In my words,this time....

This is my recollection and fine tuned with the help of google....in the 1990's when David Hayes(now Vandyke) made his name big time at Kembla, they took off  many plunges, I followed the money and had some wonderful wins but you had to take the shorter odds and the odds were never fancy.

I recall the stables were STATE OF THE ART and they stuck out,gigantic to an outside running rail somewhere in the back straight?

The horses were owned by VIC HAYES, so I'm presuming he was David's father.
Vic was a breeder and he loved naming his horses with KARIOI or part thereof. The colours I got slightly wrong but this story reveals all and it is written by BERT LILLYE, the racing writer who part helped in saving Kembla Grange track from non existence.

As for the positive swab...elephant juice....who knows...maybe he was set up...because they were winning plenty.

This one is a wonderful read....LOST IN SHANGRI-LA by Mitchell Zuckoff.

In this true story,of a war US air-force plane downed in 1945 by pilot error in NEW GUINEA, it makes mention of GREMLINS.

GREMLINS is a term used by FLYING PEOPLE to describe anything that can go wrong. It is folklore.

Ronald Dahl, the famous writer and also a WW2 pilot wrote his first book:

Quote from wiki 

His first children's book was  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gremlins" rel="nofollow - The Gremlins , about mischievous little creatures that were part of  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" rel="nofollow - RAF  folklore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Dahl#cite_note-dong-75" rel="nofollow - [75]  All the RAF pilots blamed the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlin" rel="nofollow - gremlins for all the problems with the plane.

Dr Turf....2003


nterview with John Rothfield

By Chris Beck
August 28, 2003

Printer friendly version http://www.theage.com.au/cgi-bin/common/popupPrintArticle.pl?path=/articles/2003/08/28/1061663839302.html" rel="nofollow - Email to a friend http://www.theage.com.au/cgi-bin/common/popupEmailArticle.pl?path=/articles/2003/08/28/1061663839302.html" rel="nofollow -

An early memory of John Rothfield is opening the door for Gwen the SP bookmaker collecting small debts from his mother in the 1960s.

"Anything with the word 'Royal' in it, she bet on," he says in a loving tone critical of sentimental betting.

On Saturdays he would accompany his father to the race track. "I was betting bigger than him by the time I was 16."

And he used his mother's phone account to place bets before he learnt to shave. It was a fairytale beginning for the man who now answers to "Dr Turf". With that pedigree he was never going to finish university as he studied the form guide under the cloisters and "bet accordingly and lost accordingly".

"I was taught how to read a form guide and how to bet by a genius, John Duncan, who took me under his wing. He proved to me that it was a science."

Wouldn't it have been better for him to teach you not to bet?

No, because he knew that if you were diligent, prepared to put the time in, and had a mathematical ability, you could bet and win.

Is gambling your main earner?

I don't bet thousands on a horse but I can make enough to make a difference. When I was not married and didn't have a media career ... I have for years at a time supported myself through gambling.

Rothfield gave his first tip on the radio as part of the Punter to Punter team with comedians Slim Whittle and Tony Rickards on 3RRR in the early '80s. "Neither of them knew which end of the horse food came out of." He is currently a panellist on The Fat and a Saturday broadcaster on 3AW with Trevor Marmalade and Tony Leonard. In his home office he is surrounded by pictures of racing finishes, a computer screen on the desk that he checks sporadically for information as we speak, and a huge television screen fixed on the racing channel. Rothfield speaks with the speed and clarity of a racecaller as he rests his feet on the desk in an attempt at nonchalance. Poker feet.

How do you verse your three daughters in gambling?

Well, they are girls, for starters. I don't know any serious female gamblers. Maybe that's because I don't hang around poker machine lounges. But they sit here and love watching the races on the telly. The eight-year-old told me she went to the library at lunchtime the other day and taught the kids what colour boxes the different greyhounds come out from.

But would you like them to be a chip off the old block?

Oh, I'm happy to teach them anything they want to know about the gambling profession, anything they want to know. As long as they approach it in a semi-professional way. You either approach it that way or you lose everything you invest.

Rothfield bets on the football and tennis but his main caper is horses. He shares three horses yet to race and has part-owned a few winners - including hurdlers - in his time. He says he loves animals. He also says that despite the fact that hurdle races are dangerous, it is better for old horses to jump than catch a float to the knackery. "I've got lots of mates in the (hurdles) game and I'm happy to support them," he says. "I can drive through the country and I can see emaciated horses in poor paddocks with sores on them. I don't see the RSPCA kicking up a fuss about these horses - and there is probably a million of them."

Rothfield can be outspoken. His criticism of the racing industry earned him the sack from his breakfast gig with Kevin Bartlett on Sport 927 four years ago. "He's not going back to Richmond until the board's gone and I'm not going back to Sport 927 until the board's gone."

Bartlett made a huge impact on his former breakfast partner and now friend. Rothfield says the past champion footballer and coach is a staunchly loyal person. "He is self-deprecating and witty, with a mind like a steel trap, it's just that he's got a face like a twisted prune."

Rothfield had mates on the track but they have scattered as the nature of horse racing changed. He sits alone at his desk, poised by the telephone, watching the races on television and calculating his chances.

"Ten years ago I went everywhere and every week. But now from April to September and the end of November through to January the racetrack is a lonely place. It's more modernised. It doesn't have the crowds and crowds bring atmosphere."

Do you go to the casino?

Look, I bet on anything but I have not spent one cent in the casino for about three years. These are machines; the blackjack table is a machine in a way. These are fixed odds that tell you that you cannot win. You can win today or next week but you cannot win over time. I have an issue with poker machines. Maybe that's gambling snobbery. You can't win, they are f---ing mindless. You don't even get to pull a handle any more. Everything is contrived to relax and draw money out of people.

Would you do an anti-pokie advertisement with Tim Costello?

I don't think I could.

Why not? You are a professional, successful gambler. You could say, "Look I've done the mathematics ..."

You know, ah, look, I'll look at it.

Have you ever felt glory as a gambler?

Yeah, you can't help that. If you've done something really clever like found a horse that everyone else pooh-poohed. If you are proved right in something you have pride.

But it's a solitary pursuit. You can't do a lap of honour. Who do you celebrate a win with?

You're right. Melissa (his wife) always comments how if I watch a race she doesn't know whether I won $1000 or lost $1000.

What can you aspire to as a gambler?

I think your telephone betting account balance is your own reward.

Can a http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/08/08/1308285110" rel="nofollow - new study lay the basis for the scientific understanding of mystical-sounding near-death recollections, filled with vivid light and vibrant meetings with deceased loved ones?

When researchers recorded and analyzed electroencephalograms (EEGs) of the brain activity of rats during cardiac arrest, they discovered that in the seconds after the heart stopped beating, there was a final burst of brain activity characteristic of conscious perception.

The finding indicates that the source of the electrical activity in the immediate aftermath of clinical death was the brain itself, not an outside or supernatural source.

National Geographic spoke with lead study author https://www.physiology.med.umich.edu/research/profiles/borjigin.htm" rel="nofollow - Jimo Borjigin , Ph.D., associate professor of physiology and neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School.

What questions were you trying to answer with your study?

We were testing the assumption: At the moment of cardiac arrest, is the brain really dead? At the moment the heart stops, does the brain go silent right away? The assumption is that the brain has no activity at the point after the heart stops—and therefore any vivid visual experiences, such as bright lights or seeing deceased relatives, has to be supernatural in origin or something we just don't understand.

And what did you find?

Our study found the opposite of that assumption: that even after the heart stops, the brain not only still functions but is hyperactive, exceeding levels found during the conscious waking state. The final burst of brain activity lasted about 30 seconds.

What makes this finding significant?

This is the first experiment to show that there may be some scientific, rational reasons to explain what's going on during that critical moment when the heart stops. The ground for the supernatural interpretation of the experience is no longer solid. It is shaken because our study shows that the brain at that moment has elevated activity.

How do study findings and observations in the brains of rats relate to what happens in human brains and human beings?

In people's descriptions of life-after-death experiences, there are light perceptions associated with visual function. If you were to say those experiences came from their brains, their visual cortex had to be activated. So with rats, we'd have to look at their visual cortex as well, which is what we did. Our data shows the visual cortex is highly activated in rats after the heart stops. There are no data about this for humans, but we would now know what to look for in humans because of this study.

People's near- and after-death experiences also often include meetings with dead relatives. Does this study tell us anything about that?

We don't have any data for that. Perhaps a memory is triggered at the moment of crisis. But that's speculation.

Is there a reason for that last burst of brain activity?

In general, the brain is very plastic in recovering and finding solutions to injury or crisis. For example, for the brain to recover from sleep loss, you just have to sleep more later on. The heart stopping is the severest crisis the brain will ever see. I have a hypothesis—there is no proof of this—that perhaps this [final burst of increased brain activity] is a built-in defense against this kind of crisis. I hypothesize the evolutionary reason for that increased activity in the brain is simply the brain trying to rescue itself. It's the last-ditch effort.

Why do you think this study is generating so much interest?

Until now there hasn't been a scientific explanation for these experiences, and survivors are looking for explanations. In fact, I think the incidence of having these experiences is even more frequent than reported.

Why would that be?

I think they don't want to be thought about as being weird. Many scientists are dismissive. They may feel they have nowhere to turn. This study provides an alternative explanation.

Will this study convince people, one way or the other, about the existence of life after death?

It's very hard to change people's minds, to convince people about life after death or not.

Are you planning further experiments to follow up?

Scientific research in this area has not received a lot of funding, but I have lots of ideas. The amount of attention this study is receiving reflects the degree of public interest, and that there are scientific reasons to study this area.

It has taken me all of my years to find out what "POP" music meant.

As plain as daylight.

POP= popular. Elvis sold his rock 'n' roll soul to POP after his army service.

Many never forgave him.

It all started(the change to POP) with **ITS NOW OR NEVER .    EP's biggest single hit ever.

** based on the Italian song " O SOLE MIO"

South Africa.

A marine biologist promised something special.

Throwing a line from the beach she caught a snapper.

Nothing special until she opened its mouth.


There it was.....the tongue eating parasite.....it parks itself on the fish tongue,sucks the blood out  and  eventually becomes the tongue.

You can find a video of it.

Here's a pic of the parasite ( as the tongue within the fish)
