Ethnic violence against transmigrant Balinese living in the villages of Balinuraga and Sidoreno in South Lampung regency (Sumatra) has caused 1,500 people to flee as their homes came under attack by the endemic population. The Balinese residents have taken temporary refuge in area halls and building, while police and military are patrolling the areas to prevent further clashes between the ethnic groups. The Balinese began settling in South Sumatra in 1965 under a

Caring for the Good Folk who Tend the Good Earth
Bali Farmers Need Government Protection and Tax Subsidies to Preserve Subak Agricultural Lands
The elevation of Bali's traditional subak irrigation system to the list of UNESCO Heritage Sites has also aroused the interest of tourism practitioners interested in preserving the island's continuing appeal as a world tourism destination. Quoted by Bali Post, the chairman of the Bali chapter of the Indonesian Conference and Convention Association (INCCA), Ida Bagus Surakusuma (Lolec), said: The income earned from the tourism sector needs to be shared to ensure the continued existence of the subak that has become one of Bali's tourism objects. What's more, the people who care for the subak are of the lower economic class living without sufficient means for their basic needs. At the same time, U N E S C O ' s declaration of the heritage value of Bali's subak system has had a profound effect on the island's farmers. With their farmlands now designated for conservation and preservation, the farmers who own these lands should be prevented from selling their farm lands. But, in fact, farmers have often been compelled to sell their lands to meet their costs of living, school fees, ceremonial costs and rising land taxes. Lolec said that when burdening farmers with preserving the subak system, the government must also help the farmers meet their living costs. The popular leader within Bali's tourism sector called on the government to prevent future diversion of agricultural lands to other uses by fighting for a share of the airport tax in order that these funds can be shared with farmers. www.balidiscovery.com
KUTA
Kuta is nestled between Jl. Bakungsari to the south and Jl. Melasti to the north. Kuta is the best known of all the villages in Bali, often maligned, Jl.

Footpaths didn't exist, open drains ran down the side of unmade roads. Shopping was sarongs and T-shirts and hawkers who sold just about anything. Times have changed and Kuta has grown up, gone are the unmade roads and open drains. Footpaths, although narrow, run both sides of the main streets. The hawkers are still there - part of the character of the place. Sarongs and T-shirts are still sold but now there are CD shops, boutiques, small trendy bars and restaurants and even Department Stores. Kuta boasts the world's first "themed" Hard Rock Hotel. Imagine going into a huge one level shopping centre that would take about 45 minutes to walk from one end to the other with small RV-1230 walkways branching off in every direction, now add cars, motorbikes and the odd temple ceremony.

these people are burdened with the responsibility of preserving and protecting the subak irrigation system. Lolec, who comments were made on Monday, said the acknowledgement of UNESCO of the subak as a world heritage site must bring practical benefit to the people. Because of this, the income earned by the government from tourism, such as tax revenues, should be shared back to Balinese farmers.

BALI THE RIGHT WAY

Gday folks and welcome again to the weekly. Well the race that stops a nation came and went with a thundering of horse's feet and a trillion dollars passing hands again this year with no surprises except the winner being a complete outsider as usual. I think the horse was an import from Ireland (Aussie Trained) and was called Green Moon. I think a great time was had by all who attended one of the many events put on by our sponsors. The only trouble with the big day is that it starts aliasj@kutaweekly.com a tad before lunch and generally ends up with a rather messy evening with a few panadol and a heap of water the next morning. By the time I got to the best television I could find and perched myself up, there was already a crew well into their second bottle of bubbly and inviting everyone to join in. Not to be a stick in the mud, I accepted the invite and the rest is history for the first Tuesday in November for 2012. I expect my kidneys to come right by the same time next year and will do my best to be a good social participant again then. Thanks to the crazy hat wearing crew that made the day great. Moving along, I did get a letter from a reader amongst many that I wanted to share with you all. The letter is as follows; Hello Aliasj, I seen an add in the paper about a bar called Desire so me and the girl went and had a look. What a great place it is. We had a really good hamburger and met the owner who said his beer was the coldest in town and he wasn't joking. We read the paper every week on facebook and look forward to getting to Bali a few times a year to holiday and try to grab a copy each time we come. Thanks for the good advice. Brett and Lisa Brisbane. Cheers for the feedback Brett as it's always good to hear from our readers. We are glad you seen the advert in Balis Premier Weekly Newspaper We try very hard to get the paper out each week to our readers for free and simply put, couldn't do this without the support of our sponsors. Be sure to get around to as many of our advertisers as possible when you are here on holiday. I suggest you try the pressure hour at Crusoe's each Friday night. Its a great place to start the weekend and catch up with friends. There's nothing like a few free beers and its funny when someone is caught unawares and needs the toilet. Ok folks I think that's about my lot for the week, I hope the most of you stay safe, happy, healthy, and always remember as the great George Washington said, It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one. Enjoy your week, ALIASJ...........

THE BUKIT
Much has been written about this dusty, arid and rugged area, which forms the southern most tip of the island.
Limestone cliffs of up to 100 meters in height provide some of the best views in the world, along with some deserted white sandy beaches. Everyone wants a piece of this are, from international hotel chains such as Bvlgari, Versace and Banyan Tree, to established residential villa developers looking for that perfect plot. The area offers secluded beaches, and exclusivity to name but a few reasons why this is fast becoming the place to be. Prices have more than tripled in the area over last 2 years alone with still plenty of potential to be realized, so now is a plan. Only a short 15 minutes drive from the international airport, The Bukit is fast being referred to as the new Millionaires Row.
JIMBARAN
Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. There is however little in the way of budget accommodation and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row". The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset. Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari Segara Resort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe. Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has the advantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

"When you go to the bank and say, 'I need a line of credit that's twice what I typically have,' they look at you and say, 'Are you out of your mind? How are you getting that back?'" In 2011, the United States produced 5.79 billion lbs of turkey a 7.4 percent drop from the 6.25 billion lbs produced in 2008, according to USDA data. The nation consumed about 5.02 billion lbs of turkey in 2011 6.6 percent less than the 5.37 billion lbs in 2008. Industrywide, farmers and processors say they have scaled back their flocks, and further production cuts are expected as grain prices remain high. September's egg set placements fell 6 percent from a year earlier, according to USDA data. Jim Hertel, managing partner of Illinois based food retail consultancy Willard Bishop, cautioned that even if turkey wholesale prices continue to rise savvy retailers will eat as much of the difference as possible. "Smart retailers will be looking to absorb the costs they can, and spread any of the price increases across other categories that haven't been as hard hit," Hertel said.

U.S. Navy skipper fired over drunken misconduct

The skipper of a U.S. Navy frigate and three officers were fired after an investigation found they had engaged in drunken behaviour and misconduct during a recent port visit in Russia, the Navy said.
Commander Joseph R. Darlak was relieved of command of the USS Vandegrift in Guam after an investigation determined that several of the ship's officers had been drunk and disorderly during a visit to the Russian port of Vladivostok in September, a spokeswoman said. "The officers demonstrated poor judgment including some officers being drunk and disorderly, and not adhering to established liberty policies," said Commander Tamsen Reese, spokeswoman for the Naval Surface Force Pacific. The Navy also relieved the ship's executive officer, operations officer and chief engineer from their duties "for personal conduct and use of alcohol," Reese said. The Navy Times reported it was the fleet's first mass firing stemming from a liberty port visit since March 2011. Darlak and the other three officers were being temporarily reassigned to fleet operations San Diego "pending potential other administrative actions," she said. The Vandegrift left San Diego in May for a seven month deployment to the western Pacific and docked in Vladivostok on September 21 for a visit, during which the misconduct occurred. Darlak, a 1990 Naval Academy graduate, took command of the Vandegrift in Singapore July. He was the ship's 17th commanding officer.

chose to develop it for the iPad because it is the dominant tablet platform in schools, but he said they are considering Android and Windows 8 apps in the future. Four more apps including "Twelfth Night," "A Midsummer's Night Dream," "Hamlet" and "Othello" are due to be released in coming months. They are available worldwide for $13.99 each. Pettigrew said the app is vetted for accuracy by experts and includes ancillary material, which is designed to augment the original text. "To borrow a Shakespeare phrase, 'the play's the thing.'"
Plays such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Macbeth" spring to life in iPad apps released by Cambridge University Press, which pairs the texts with audio performances, commentary and other interactive content, transforming the classic plays for the digital age. The apps are part of a new series called Explore Shakespeare that was introduced by the British publishing house to expand the playwright's reach to casual readers. "A lot of people have a copy of Shakespeare on their bookshelf that they never got around to reading because they have this idea that Shakespeare is hard or has to be studied to be appreciated," said John Pettigrew, executive producer of the Explore Shakespeare series. Pettigrew believes the plays are meant to be enjoyed and are accessible provided readers are given context to overcome outdated or poetic language. While the core focus of the app is on the actual text, readers can consult glossaries, notes, photos and synopses at any point in the script. "Everything there is designed to keep you in the play and to put you in the mind of the actor, director or writer," he explained. To understand less common language, readers can tap on words and phrases to delve into their meaning. "A classic one is in 'Romeo and Juliet' which is `wherefore art thou Romeo?' It's not 'where are you Romeo?', It's `why are you Romeo?` So that kind of phrase gets a glossary to explain what is meant," said Pettigrew. The apps also include full audio performances from stars such as Kate Beckinsale and Martin Sheen. Other features help readers to visualize relations between actors in a scene, understand how Shakespeare interweaves themes throughout the play, and to analyze the text more thoroughly. "You can delve into the language or themes or interpretation, but our first task is to show that it's just a good story," Pettigrew said. Although the app was designed with consumers in mind, Pettigrew believes it could also play a role in education, with students embracing the app over its print counterpart. "For a 13-year old, Shakespearean language can be a barrier and to have something right there on the page is really helpful," he said. According to Pettigrew, the publishing house

The nearer the bar, the greater the chances of risky drinking
Does living near a bar encourage people to overindulge, or do heavy drinkers move to neighborhoods with easy access to alcohol? A new study suggests it may be the former for some people. Researchers in Finland found that of nearly 55,000 Finnish adults followed for seven years, those who moved closer to bars were somewhat more likely to increase their drinking. When a person moved one kilometer (0.6 mile) closer to a bar, the odds of becoming a heavy drinker rose 17 percent. A "heavy drinker" meant more than 10 ounces a week for men and about seven ounces a week for women, of distilled alcohol. The link doesn't prove that mere distance from a bar turns people into alcohol abusers, according to the researchers. "Factors other than proximity are also likely to explain the observed association," lead researcher Jaana L. Halonen, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in Kuopio, said in an email. One possibility, she noted, is that drinkers choose to live near bars. But she and her colleagues also looked at a subset of people who didn't move the bars came closer to them. And the findings were similar among those individuals, too, Halonen said. The researchers also accounted for some other factors, like the neighborhood poverty level. (In Finland, Halonen said, lower-income people are more likely to drink heavily than wealthier people are.) And distance from a bar remained tied to the odds of becoming a heavy drinker. The findings, reported in the journal Addiction, are based on surveys of 54,778 Finnish public employees who were followed over an average of seven years. At the outset, there was a pattern of heavy drinking being more common when people lived close to bars, or restaurants or hotels with bars. Among people who were an average of 0.12 kilometers (400 feet) from the nearest drinking hole, a little over nine percent were heavy drinkers. Of those 2.4 kilometers (about 1.5 miles) away, some 7.5 percent were heavy drinkers. When the researchers looked at patterns over time, it turned out that people who moved closer to bars - or had bars move closer to them - tended to have higher odds of becoming a heavy drinker. The increased risk was modest. But at the population level, Halonen noted, even a modest association between access to bars and heavy drinking becomes "notable." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines a standard drink as a 1.5 ounce "shot" of 80 proof alcohol, five ounces of wine or eight ounces of beer and considers heavy drinking to be an average of more than two drinks a day for men and one a day for women. For any one person, of course, the risk of becoming a problem drinker depends on a whole range of factors, Halonen pointed out. But, she added, it's possible that restricting bars' hours, or other alcohol retailers' operating hours, could limit locals' risky drinking. Since the study was done in Finland, one question is how well the findings would apply to other countries. That's unclear, Halonen said, because drinking habits and "cultural norms" vary by country. "For instance," she noted, "in the UK and Australia, heavy drinking is reported to be more common than in Finland, whereas in the USA it is less common." "On the other hand," Halonen added, "it is unlikely that easy access to a bar would affect drinking only among Finnish employees."

Dozens of artists in the eastern Indian state of Bihar are painting roadside trees and their leaves with colorful stories from Hindu epics, hoping to save the region's already critically sparse greenery. The unusual campaign, using coats of paint and brushes, has been launched in Madhubani, a northern Bihar district known for its religious and cultural awareness, resulting in hundreds of otherwise untended roadside trees covered in elaborate artwork. Artists are depicting the moods of deities, scenes from Hindu classics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, or an imaginary scene showing an elderly woman restraining a man coming with an axe to cut trees. They believe the artwork will prompt the deeply religious locals to drop any idea of cutting down the trees out of fear of incurring the wrath of the deities. "We are using the deities as a cover", said Shashthi Nath Jha, who also runs an NGO dedicated to empowering women and child laborers, speaking by phone from Madhubani, around 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) east of New Delhi. "We thought people will not do

conditions." They work in the style of Madhubani painting, a form of Indian painting done with fingers, twigs, the points of fountain pens and even matchsticks, using natural colors and characterized by brilliant geometrical patterns. "I have painted themes of 'Sita-swayamvara' (the marriage of the deities Rama and Sita) on the tree trunks so that those willing to cut them would drop the idea," 19-yearold Kushaboo told local media. According to Jha, the initiative has drawn the attention of the international community as well, with a team from Switzerland recently visiting to study how art could be used to convey a strong social message. The government is taking additional steps to increase greenery in the region, with plans to plant 250 million saplings in the next five years and appointing "Tree Friends" to care for young trees planted along roads and other public places. But Jha said locals also had a debt of sorts to repay. "Plants and trees have brought color to our life. Now it's our duty to put color on them," Jha said.

Hagihon. A report in Israeli newspaper Maariv on Friday said the Patriarchate was threatening to shut the doors of the church, which is a major pilgrimage site for millions of tourists. The church lies deep inside Jerusalem's Old City walls. It encompasses Golgotha, or Calvary, where Jesus is believed to have been crucified and the tomb where he was buried and resurrected. A church was first built there in the 4th century under Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman emperor, whose mother, Queen Helena, had visited the site and identified it as the place of Jesus' resurrection. The General Secretary of the Patriarchate, Archbishop of Constantina Aristarchos, had no comment on the Maariv report. He said the church was willing to pay water bills from now on, but that the accumulated debt, stemming back years, would be problematic. "We trust God and hope that people will help us," he said, adding that the Patriarchate has sent letters to Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Maariv said that for decades there had been a tacit agreement between the church and a former mayor of Jerusalem, exempting the Patriarchate from paying for water piped to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A spokesman for Hagihon, however, said the law did not permit the company to make such exemptions. Talks with the Patriarchate have been going on for years, he said. The company had refrained from taking lawful enforcement steps, such as shutting the water off at the church, in order not to disrupt prayers and tourist activity at the site.

The belatedly crowned winner of a $23 million California lottery jackpot says she had stuffed the lucky ticket in her car and left it there forgotten for months, until a surveillance camera photo of the ticket's purchase surfaced on the Internet. Only when she recognized her daughter in the picture, which state lottery officials had publicly circulated in a desperate attempt to locate the missing winner, did Julie Cervera, 69, realize to her amazement that she was a multimillionaire. For Cervera, a resident of the high-desert town of Victorville who has been on disability for 20 years and described herself as broke, the unexpected turn of fortune could not have come at a more opportune time. "I have maybe a dollar in my pocket, they just shut off my cable, my electric bill is $600 and my (bank) account is also overdrawn," Cervera said, a day after coming forward to claim her prize. The ticket, purchased May 30 for Cervera by her adult

prize. It was Cervera's daughter, Charliena, who was captured in the photo making the purchase with a dollar bill that Cervera said she had scrounged from her purse. Afterward, Cervera said, she stashed the ticket into the console of her car and never bothered to check it against the winning numbers announced later. "I put on my 99-cent glasses, I saw it, and I thought she (Charliena) robbed a bank," Cervera said, explaining that she initially misunderstood the meaning and purpose of the photo. It took a few moments for it to dawn on her that she had won a $23 million lottery drawing. Cervera said opted to take the money in a single, lesser lump-sum payment, which lottery officials said will amount to nearly $18 million before taxes, rather than receiving the full jackpot parceled out in installments. Cervera, who has adopted two boys with special needs, said that she wants to share the winnings with her children, including Charliena, and her grandchildren.

The music video, directed by Stuart Orme, was released in 1981 The recording is notable for its atmospheric production and macabre theme. Released in January 1981 in the UK, the single was an instant hit, quickly climbing to Number 2 in the Singles Chart.

Daniel Day Lewis had little more than a statue and a few famous speeches to go on when he first agreed to play President Abraham Lincoln on screen.

While efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment in late 1864 and early 1865 take centre stage in the film, it also delves into Lincoln's life at home with his wife and sons Robert (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Tad (Gulliver McGrath). Spielberg said the film was never intended to be a biography of Lincoln. "We needed to focus it in on a working president and a father and a husband," Spielberg explained. "You couldn't do that if it was the greatest hits of Abraham Lincoln. We would have been dilettantes as filmmakers and as actors. We would have been hitting all the high points and just giving you the headlines and not giving you any sense of the depth of this character, this man," he added. Gordon-Levitt said he didn't get to know DayLewis until after production wrapped, despite the numerous scenes they shared. "I never met Daniel in person," he said. "I only ever met the president, only ever heard the president's voice. I called him sir, he called me Robert." After the last day of shooting, the cast went out in the evening to celebrate "and that was the first time I personally met Daniel," said Gordon-Levitt. He showed up in jeans and a T-shirt and had a completely different voice and posture," said the actor. "He was like one of my friends you know this kind of cool, artist guy, having a Guinness and just laughing and having a great time."

"I had everything to learn and apart from a few images, a statue a few lines from the first inaugural, a few from the Gettysburg address, that would be my entire knowledge of that man's life," he added. The double Oscar winner admitted he was hesitant in taking on the role of Lincoln, saying he did not want to "be responsible for irrevocably staining the reputation of the greatest president this country's ever known."

Men's Hair Removal Gel

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian, I decided to take the plunge and buy some 'Veet Hair Removal', as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the Missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.
I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip, I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears, I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen. By this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge, in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen, which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen, the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my nuts, pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream, and as I hadn't heard her come in, it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a partially thawed Brussel Sprout farted against your leg at 11pm at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status... So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect.

Israel Folau's AFL career is over after the high-profile rugby league convert quit the Greater Western Sydney Giants two seasons into a multi-million dollar, four-year deal. Folau made the announcement at a press conference on Thursday, saying he did not have the passion to continue a career in AFL. "I've really enjoyed my experience at the Giants. In the end I think the passion wasn't quite right," Folau said, confirming he told the Giants on Wednesday night after about a month's consideration. "If I stayed I guess I was kind of cheating myself. "I had to be honest and move forward. "I had to be honest with the club and be up front with them, otherwise it wouldn't be fair for these guys to move forward." Israel Folau: NRL: 2007-2010 Games: - Storm: 59 (36 tries) - Broncos: 38 (37 tries) - Queensland: 5 (5 tries) - Australia: 7 (5 tries) Honours: - 2007 Rookie of the Year - Most tries in debut season (21) - 2007 NRL premiership (stripped) - Youngest player for Australia (18 years, 194 days) - 2008 Dally M Centre of the Year AFL: 2011-2012 - Greater Western Sydney 13 games (2 goals) - Makes debut round one 2012 v Swans - Kicks first goal in round four v Crows The 23-year-old gave no indication as to where his career would go next, not ruling out a return to the NRL or a move to rugby. "At this stage I've had no discussions with any clubs at all," he said. "I'm leaving it up to my management. "I can't confirm anything. My future at the moment is uncertain. I still don't know what to do." Early reports say Parramatta is

playing well so it wouldn't be that hard," Folau said of his former Broncos team-mate. "But the decision that I had to make was the one that I wanted to do." Folau said he was still proud of what he had achieved. "It was definitely not a mistake," he said. "I've learnt a lot about the game and myself and I wouldn't change anything." "Everyone has their different opinions and views on my decisions. "At the end of the day it's only mine that matters." "I've enjoyed every game I've been involved in. To be quite honest I didn't think I'd play that many games." Giants chief executive David Matthews thanked Folau and described him as a "trailblazer" in the game. Kevin Sheedy maintained Folau would have been a star had he started playing the game from a younger age but still held out hope of an unlikely return. "Izzy might come back in two years saying 'I haven't got the job done yet'," the veteran coach said. AFL boss Andrew Demetriou said Folau left the league with its "blessing". "Our focus is on what Israel feels is right for him as an individual and as a sportsman, and so we support what has been a very tough decision for him," he said in a statement. By cutting Folau and his lucrative contract loose, the Giants are a strong chance to recruit former Crows forward Kurt Tippett. Tippett will be available in the AFL's preseason draft after a move from Adelaide to Sydney broke down during the trade period. Matthew said discussions with Tippett's management will be "re-engaged".
Polish coffin maker uses nude models to sell wares

A Polish firm that makes coffins has angered the C a t h o l i c church by trying to drum up business with a calendar depicting topless models posing next to its caskets.
One image from the 2013 edition of the calendar has a blonde model, wearing only a skimpy thong and with a snake draped around her neck, reclining on a coffin. In another, a woman wearing a crimson corset is depicted pulling out the heart of a man lying on a casket.

Anyone who places an order receives a complementary key ring in the shape of a coffin. The Catholic Church has condemned the calendar as inappropriate. A church spokesman has said that human death should be treated with solemnity and not mixed up with sex. The church and its teachings have been at the heart of Polish life for generations, but changes in society are challenging the faith. While 93 percent of Poles say they are Catholic, the proportion who attend church regularly is falling. Many people are starting to confront long standing taboos about sexuality and religion.
Folau pulls the pin on AFL career

in line to swoop for Folau, who could join younger brother John at the Eels under new coach Ricky Stuart. Folau admitted the lure of State of Origin was always a factor in the future of his career. "When I first left it was hard to watch," he said. "Before I made the decision to come across, those were the type of things I was thinking about." Folau left the Brisbane Broncos in a much-publicised code switch in 2010 after four spectacular seasons in the NRL, representing Queensland in State

Folau's exit from the NRL was written off by many as a publicity stunt to assist GWS's inception into the AFL - the success of which was undoubtedly greater than Folau's on-field production. Despite his telling size, power and athleticism, Folau averaged just six touches and kicked two goals in his 13 games in 2012. In stark contrast to fellow convert Karmichael Hunt, Folau struggled to adapt to his new game, as the Giants experimented playing him in defence, up forward and in the ruck.

Malthouse has big plans for Gibbs at Carlton

New Carlton coach Mick Malthouse has already enjoyed an up-close glimpse of what Bryce Gibbs could deliver in the AFL.
Malthouse has great expectations for the 2006 number one draft pick, who was a big disappointment for the Blues as they dropped out of the top eight to 10th in 2012. There is a sense that Gibbs' career has stalled, with the highly-rated player having minimal impact across halfback. Two years ago, Malthouse coached Gibbs during Australia's International Rules tour of Ireland and came away a big fan of the utility. "He was s i m p l y outstanding over there," Malthouse said. "Let me say, there wasn't any `good' - he was outstanding. "So I know his capabilities. "He has to be thrown the ball and (we) say `right, now you have to run with it'." Malthouse also made it clear that he sees Gibbs as a midfielder, first and foremost. "I'd like to think he's going to be playing in the middle, but it's coupled with half-back and half-forward," Malthouse said. "He certainly has to come up that next level. 28 "There's 20 minutes there (each quarter) - he has to be able to do eight to 10 minutes and that's quite significant. "That takes half a quarter away from others, to give them a little bit of relief and also be able to play in other positions, which I'm pretty keen to do." Malthouse took charge of Carlton training for the first time on Monday, a month after the tumultuous end to this season. The Blues sacked Brett Ratten before their last match outside the eight have a fair bit of work to make up," he said. "But you know what's on our side? History. "No eight has ever stayed the same and I'm a great believer in history. "That gives any side outside the eight great buoyancy to go forward." "The side has the mechanics to be a good football side. The first impressions have been encouraging for Malthouse in his fourth AFL senior coaching assignment. '"I've b e e n v e r y, very happy with what I've seen," he said. T h e Blues will soon have a pre-season training camp in Arizona, w h e r e Malthouse a n d h i s players will start learning more about each other. The players also have to elect their leadership group, with Malthouse saying current captain Chris Judd had to decide whether he wants to retain the role. Meanwhile, Carlton announced on Monday that former Melbourne captain Brad Green had joined them as a midfield development coach.

His first success came with Just a Dash trained by Tommy Smith in 1981, What A Nuisance with John Meagher in 1985, and Efficient with Graeme Rogerson in 2007. It was through Meagher that Prebble built a relationship with Williams. Prebble was an apprentice to Meagher. After many good years in Melbourne he moved to Hong Kong in 2002 where he has become one of t h e m o s t successful jockeys in the horse racingmad town. He won the Hong Kong Derby in 2002 and 2007 and has continued to r e t u r n t o Australia to ride in the big races. In 2010 he won the Golden Slipper in Sydney on Crystal Lily. He now adds the Melbourne Cup to his list of achievements. Prebble's previous best result in the Cup was third aboard C'est La Guerre, which was owned by Lloyd Williams, the owner of Green Moon. "I've soaked it up every year but normally I have my tail between my legs, so this year I had my tail up," Prebble said.

All of this required another safety car intervention with Raikkonen in front ahead of Alonso, Jenson Button and Vettel as the teams recalculated strategy, possible tactics and prospects. After four laps, they resumed with Raikkonen re-seizing control to lead by two seconds and Vettel challenging Button for third with 10 laps to go before passing him on lap 53. Alonso, in a final push, closed to within striking distance of Raikkonen, but the Lotus man clung on in the final two laps.

Raikkonen wins in Abu Dhabi as Vettel stays ahead

Kimi Raikkonen claimed his first win for three years on Monday morning (AEDT) as Sebastian Ve t t e l c l u n g o n t o h i s championship lead by finishing third in a dramatic and incidentpacked Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The 33-year-old Finn, who returned to Formula One this season after a two-year absence, grabbed his triumph after dominant early leader Lewis Hamilton was forced into retirement by a power failure on his McLaren car. Raikkonen won convincingly a h e a d o f Fernando Alonso of Ferrari who pushed hard for victory in the closing laps of an extraordinary 55lap contest that included two prolonged safety car periods and a rash of major accidents. Asked how he felt, he said: "Last time you guys were giving me grief because I didn't smile enough, but I'm happy for the team. It's been a hard season and not easy times lately. "Hopefully this will give everyone belief and turn the tables so we can win more races, if not this year then next year." Defending champion and series leader Vettel started from the pit lane in his Red Bull car and produced one of the greatest drives of his career to finish third. Vettel's phenomenal drive, including clocking a fastest lap, kept him 10 points ahead of Alonso in the title race with two laps remaining. The German leads on 255 points with Alonso on 245 and Raikkonen on 198. "It was a crazy race," said Vettel. "It's hard enough to get through the field once, but we did it twice. We were in quite a good position, but I was surprised by Daniel Ricciardo's move and I was caught out. "I should have been more aware and I had no choice but to avoid him and run to the right and I hit a DRS board flat on and had to pit which wasn't good at that moment because we came out dead last. place, failed to finish after getting caught in a multi-car crash. This was Raikkonen's first win since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix and his 19th career win. He is the eighth different victor of the season and he gave the Lotus name a victory for the first time since Ayrton Senna won for the original Lotus team in the United States in 1987. On a hot afternoon, producing a track temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, Lewis Hamilton made a near-perfect start to pull away from his 25th pole position and into a clear lead. Behind him, Raikkonen enjoyed a fast getaway and seized second ahead of a slow-starting Webber. Alonso sized up Webber and the Spaniard made his pass on the second straight after a dramatic wheel-towheel tussle through turn eight. On the second lap Vettel in 20th damaged the front wing of his Red Bull in a collision with Bruno Senna's Williams. On lap nine Nico Rosberg ran into the back of Narain Karthikeyan's Hispania car and flipped into an airborne ride across the Indian's car and over his head at more than 300 kph. He slid heavily into the barriers and triggered the introduction of a safety car for six laps during which Vettel, having risen to 14th, ran too close to Daniel Ricciardo's Toro Rosso and swerved wide, hit a bollard and almost hit the barriers. continue to page 27
Prince confused by Titans departure

High-profile Brisbane recruit Scott Prince has described the events surrounding his departure from the Gold Coast NRL club he c a p t a i n e d a s "confusing".
Prince admitted to some first-day nerves when the centre of attention as he arrived for Brisbane's first preseason training session at Purtell Parkthis week.. The half-back spoke for the first time about the events which led to him leaving the club which he skippered since their debut in the NRL in 2007. "It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride with emotions," said Prince. T h e Titans said they were unwilling to take up an option to keep Prince for a further season in 2014 and he finally secured a two-year agreement with Brisbane after coming close to signing a threeyear deal with English club Hull FC. But the Titans will pay Brisbane a large chunk of Prince's 2013 salary as part of his deal reached despite coach John Cartwright saying the 32-yearold playmaker had been a key part of his plans next season. "I guess at the end of the day it's all in the past now and my family and close friends can all move forward now we have a resolution," said Prince. "It was difficult how it all unfolded but I've got an opportunity late with the Broncos and I've moved on." Prince was diplomatic when asked if he felt the Gold Coast wanted his services next season. "That's probably a question you should ask them (Titans)," he said. "From my side it was all a bit confusing. "Both sides, myself and the end," he said. Prince had not officially agreed to a deal with Hull who reportedly offered him in excess of $1 million for a three-year deal. "There was a lot of (media) talk (about the Hull deal)," Prince said. "It was funny actually sitting back reading stories you guys (media) wrote on the back of lies, it was quite amusing actually. "I was supposed to have met with Peter Gentle (Hull FC coach) at the weekend but I was out at Roma. "It was reported on the Monday that we did catch up and that all things seemed to be going sweetly. "(But) I finally got a formal offer (from Brisbane) on Sunday and discussed it with my family and accepted the challenge they put to me." Prince said Griffin had made it very clear what he would have to earn a spot in Brisbane's NRL squad. "I'm very happy to be given this opportunity by the Broncos to get back on the horse and prove myself again," he said. Prince, who left Brisbane in 2003 after three tough years in which he suffered two serious leg injuries, arrived at training with another of the club's off-season recruits, David Stagg who signed a two-year deal with the club over the weekend.
"Then, it was all or nothing and we were pushing but the pace was there and it was a very good race for us. "The second safety car helped and the target was to win the race because there were only three cars to go but unfortunately I didn't get through Jenson (Button) as quickly as the other cars before I finally made it and it was very close. "But I saw the gap and he behaved fair - you can't do that kind of move with all the drivers so it was a lot of fun and a great result." Eighth different winner Australia's Mark Webber, who started the race in second
the Titans, would probably say it was disappointing how it all unfolded. "We're both moving on. I am looking forward to the future and I starting fresh here back in the Broncos colours." Prince said he thought he would be on a plane going to the UK until he got a late telephone call on Sunday with an offer to keep playing in the NRL with Brisbane. "It was perfect timing in
