what to see in rocky?
streets....old shops from 1960s.....hot weather at this time of year...
best food in rocky?none to my liking.only fish n chips at the plaza in north rocky with big and oily fish. shop is just 10 metres next to woolworths supermarket.all around 30 metres to a petrol station.
where to get DECENT HAIRCUT in rocky as in singapore!
its around $27 and need you to wash your hair before you go have it cut by barber.stockland shopping centre has a few.
bolsover street downtown or "city" has a few.usually its always crowded and charges cheapest like $20 n is next to the subway sandwich place .
gift shops with guns along bolsover street next to kellys barber :
all metal automatic pistols sold usually revolvers,magnums.automatic pistols beretta,luger,walther p38,colt 1911..about $150 price range but cant be taken back to spore.
outskirt areas:
yeppon beach at low tide?just like changi beach at low tidebut with more poisonous and deadly sea creatures.expensive fish and chips shop.......fresh air n sunshine.
kind of boring in rocky even outer areas are so so.
those who feel brisbane might be exciting...its just a little bit boring as compared to spore bedok central.foodcourts as usual and seems like less shops as compared back in 1990s.

Make Deadshits History - Rockhampton
- Where:
- Pilbeam Theatre, Rockhampton, Qld
- When:
- 7pm Tuesday 14 October
Every 3 seconds, somebody, somewhere in the world is being a deadshit. Now, look at the person to the left of you, now the one on the right, chances are one of the people you just looked at is also a deadshit. Now, if you looked right when I asked you to look left.yes, you're a deadshit too.
From Sydney to Darwin to Perth to Hobart to Mackay and back again, Heath Franklin as Chopper in Make Deadshits History sold out shows in every capital city and regional centre earlier this year in his 26-town Australian national tour. Now he's back by popular demand for a return season tour. Right after he plays a sold out run in London this August! Thats right, Franklin's Chopper is an international hit!
For 20 nights this Spring, Franklin's Chopper will be head-butting his way around Australia again, tackling an issue bigger than world poverty or global warming - eradication of the terminally stupid.
In a world that is designed to protect people from their own stupidity, Chopper is worried that natural selection isn't getting a fair go. Bono, Chris Martin, Bob Geldof - all the songs and all the concerts in the world aren't going to change the fact, the world has never been a safer place for total deadshits. Forget Band Aid, Live Aid, Whinge Fuckin' Whinge Aid - finally here's a cause we can all get behind and a celebrity who has the moustache to pull it off.
Heath Franklin first burst onto our TV screens in 2005 on Network 10's sketch comedy show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour with his parody of the real life underworld figure, Mark 'Chopper' Read. In 2007, Franklin took his infamous alter-ego on the road in the Australian national live tour, Chopper's Harden the Fuck Up Australia Tour, breaking box office records and selling over 38,000 tickets nationally.
Make Deadshits History is Franklin's second full-length show with his comic creation Chopper, for which he was nominated for a TV Logie award - the inaugural Graham Kennedy Award for Most Outstanding New Talent in 2006. Donate today and help Chopper help you 'Make Deadshits History'. All we are saying is give the global eradication of deadshits a chance. Together, we can do this.
A dollar from every ticket sale goes to the Chopper 'Make Deadshits History' Foundation to help get these people off the street. But, bullets don't come cheap, so buy tickets now. -
from wikipaedia:
When he was still young, Chopper Read was already an accomplished street fighter and the leader of the Surrey Road gang. He began his criminal career by robbing drug dealers, based in massage parlours in the Prahran area. He later graduated to kidnapping and torturing members of the criminal underworld, often using a blowtorch or bolt cutters to remove the toes of his victims as an incentive for them to produce enough money so that Read would leave them alive.[1]
Read spent only 13 months outside prison between the ages of 20 and 38, having been convicted of crimes including armed robbery, firearm offences, assault and kidnapping. time bodyguard.[11

Personal bodyguard
In 1998, Read met his bodyguard Mark "Hammer" Dixon after Read was released from PRISON in Tasmania. Working as a driver/body guard for Read's friend and colleague in crime Charles “Mad Charlie” Hegyalji,[10] Mark "Hammer" Dixon would eventually become his most trusted ally. I
n the March of 2003, Chopper was travelling the country doing paid appearances and ended up in a venue where security was run by Dixon. After a finishing a show and exiting to the car park with his entourage, a disgruntled patron ran at Chopper brandishing a claw hammer. Dixon threw himself in the line of the hammers blow, and then neutralized the attacker. As a result, Dixon became Chopper's own full time bodyguard.

ASIO files found in drug raid
September 28, 2010 by Capo · Leave a Comment
- ASIO -
A CACHE of secret files stolen from ASIO and police and anti-corruption agencies has been discovered during a drug raid in Melbourne, raising fears of a major breach of national security and crime intelligence.
Police are investigating whether the former head of intelligence and phone tapping at Victoria’s Office of Police Integrity stole the documents.
The files were discovered on September 10 by detectives searching a house in Melbourne’s north as part of a drug investigation.
They found boxes containing sensitive national security and law enforcement documents, including files from ASIO, the OPI and West Australian police.
The suspected criminal whose home was raided is believed to be in a relationship with the former OPI official suspected of taking the documents. The former official previously worked for the Victoria Police and the West Australian Anti-Corruption Commission. It is unclear how long the pair have been in a relationship.
The Age believes many of the documents contain information that may pose a threat to sources used by the agencies. The files also contain specific details on highly sensitive operational matters.
As Australia’s principal intelligence agency, ASIO gathers information about any threats to national security, including terrorist activity and espionage. ASIO and law enforcement agencies, including the OPI, have strict protocols guarding the storage of such documents.

Something in the water
Elly Steel refuses to drink Rockhampton water after she found what she believes is a residue of yellow sulphur and coal dust inside her filtered tap water.

THERE'S something in the water according to Elly Steel.
It may not be a monster shark, but the Rockhampton woman believes it could be just as life-threatening.
Mrs Steel will only drink spring water and San Pellegrino after discovering a thin yellow-green residue in her tap water filter three days ago.
She believes it could be yellow sulphur and coal dust from the Fitzroy River.
Despite the Department of Environment and Resource Management's reassurance no mines are currently discharging into the Fitzroy catchment, Mrs Steel said she believes the Ensham and Mt Morgan mines are behind the horrible smelling residue.
She said she believes they are still discharging into the water.
Mrs Steel's husband, Bill, said he couldn't even offer his friend of cup of tea for fear he would poison him.
"I'm jumping up and down because I've got cancer and thyroid problems and I have to drink it," Mrs Steel said.
She is worried Rockhampton water could be contributing to her illnesses.
For more than 20 years the Steels have been drinking tap water from the Fitzroy River, five of those they have spent using their $490 water filter.
Doug Annetts provides the replacement water filters for the Steels and about 5000 other Central Queenslanders.
He said the problem could not come from the filter if it was changed every six months, as the Steels say they do.
Rockhampton Regional Council yesterday said after receiving Mrs Steel's call, Fitzroy River Water logged a job to dispatch a crew to flush the lines in the area.
Council said they would call Mrs Steel to discuss whether that may have been the issue.

Safety
Nanoparticles present possible dangers, both medically and environmentally.[45] Most of these are due to the high surface to volume ratio, which can make the particles very reactive or catalytic.[46] They are also able to pass through cell membranes in organisms, and their interactions with biological systems are relatively unknown.[47] A recent study looking at the effects of ZnO nanoparticles on human immune cells has found varying levels of susceptibility to cytotoxicity.[48]
Smaller nanoparticles evinced increased cytotoxicity. Lymphocytes (especially naive T cells) were found to be more resistant to nanoparticle cytotoxicity than monocytes, likely due to the capacity of the latter to produce higher levels of reactive oxygen species in response to internalized nanoparticles. Previously activated memory T cells were more susceptible than naive T cells, implying a relationship between cell-cycle and nanoparticle susceptibility.
In addition, nanoparticle concentrations below those causing appreciable cell death nonetheless induced the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ and TNF. Despite these laboratory findings, free nanoparticles in the environment may rapidly agglomerate and thus leave the nano-regime[citation needed]. Nature itself presents many nanoparticles to which organisms on earth may have evolved immunity (such as salt particulates from ocean aerosols, terpenes from plants, or dust from volcanic eruptions)[citation needed]. A more complete analysis is provided in the article on nanotechnology.
Animal studies have shown that some nanoparticles can penetrate cells and tissues, move through the body and brain and cause biochemical damage. They also have shown to cause a risk factor in men for testicular cancer. But whether cosmetics and sunscreens containing nanomaterials pose health risks remains largely unknown at this stage.[49] Diesel nanoparticles have been found to damage the cardiovascular system in a mouse model.[50]
Concern has also been raised over the health effects of respirable nanoparticles from certain combustion processes.[51

Researcher Shosaku Kashiwada of the National Institute for Environmental Studies in Tsukuba, Japan, in a more recent study, intended to further investigate the effects of nanoparticles on soft-bodied organisms. His study allowed him to explore the distribution of water-suspended fluorescent nanoparticles throughout the eggs and adult bodies of a species of fish, known as the see-through medaka (Oryzias latipes). See-through medaka were used because of their small size, wide temperature and salinity tolerances, and short generation time. Moreover, small fish like the see-through medaka have been popular test subjects for human diseases and organogenesis for other reasons as well, including their transparent embryos, rapid embryo development, and the functional equivalence of their organs and tissue material to that of mammals. Because the see-through medaka have transparent bodies, analyzing the deposition of fluorescent nanoparticles throughout the body is quite simple. For his study, Dr. Kashiwada evaluated four aspects of nanoparticle accumulation. These included the overall accumulation and the size-dependent accumulation of nanoparticles by medaka eggs, the effects of salinity on the aggregation of nanoparticles in solution and on their accumulation by medaka eggs, and the distribution of nanoparticles in the blood and organs of adult medaka. It was also noted that nanoparticles were in fact taken up into the bloodstream and deposited throughout the body. In the medaka eggs, there was a high accumulation of nanoparticles in the yolk; most often bioavailibility was dependent on specific sizes of the particles. Adult samples of medaka had accumulated nanoparticles in the gills, intestine, brain, testis, liver, and bloodstream. One major result from this study was the fact that salinity may have a large influence on the bioavailibility and toxicity of nanoparticles to penetrate membranes and eventually kill the specimen.[22]
As the use of nanomaterials increases worldwide, concerns for worker and user safety are mounting. To address such concerns, the Swedish Karolinska Institute conducted a study in which various nanoparticles were introduced to human lung epithelial cells. The results, released in 2008, showed that iron oxide nanoparticles caused little DNA damage and were non-toxic. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were slightly worse. Titanium dioxide caused only DNA damage. Carbon nanotubes caused DNA damage at low levels. Copper oxide was found to be the worst offender, and was the only nanomaterial identified by the researchers as a clear health risk.[23]

Nanoparticles in Sunscreen
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles in sunscreen have come under increasing scrutiny, as should be the case, given that we know so little about the behavior of nano-sized versions of materials like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that have been used for years in bulk form.
Because very small particles of metal oxides gave a transparent look to a sunscreen that was difficult to achieve with bulk sizes, many companies quickly grew to embrace the new technology. To this day these companies argue that nanoparticles are safe because there is no evidence that nanoparticles (defined as less than or equal to 100 nm) penetrate past the epidermal barrier. The argument begs its own refutation, as it implies that evidence to the contrary could pose a problem, and now more studies are emerging which indicate that nanoparticles do penetrate past the epidermis.
A test by Dr. Brian Gulson et al from Macquarie University demonstrated that tracer zinc showed up in blood and urine samples taken from test subjects, indicating that zinc oxide nanoparticles were indeed being absorbed. Another study from the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Pharmacology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, found that TiO2 particles penetrated past the epidermis in hairless mice, subsequently reaching different tissues and causing pathologic changes to organs, most notably the skin and the liver.
Zinc Oxide vs Titanium Dioxide
While size is certainly an important factor to consider in risk assessment studies, the physical properties of the material itself must also be taken into consideration. A nanoparticle and nanostructured surfaces conference cited a study showing that titanium dioxide particles in sunscreens “catalyzed DNA damage both in vitro and in human cells” when exposed to sunlight. The conference raised the question of “the suitability of photoactive TiO2 as a sunscreen component without further studies.”
Zinc oxide applications on the other hand, even when absorbed, result in relatively harmless biological pathways and endpoints. To quote Dr. Gulson: “Maybe with young children where you’re applying it seven days a week, it could be an issue but I’m more than happy to continue applying [20% zinc oxide sunscreen] to my grandchildren.”
Nanoparticles are now found in everything from cosmetics to clothing and even food, and as regulations now stand, consumers cannot depend upon labels to inform them of what they are getting. The rule of thumb used by environmental scientists is that the smaller the particle the riskier it is to use it. More studies need to be done on many of these nanomaterials, particularly when physical properties, such as photoreactivity in the case of TiO2, indicate that there might be problems.

where to get authentic katong laksa in supermarket for those who craves for laksa and feel claustophobic:
go to woolworths supermarket at asian section.grab the orange box of Prima brand laksa(made in singapore) at $4 which is only availiable at woolsworth supermarket.grab the Wai Wai beehoon in asian section just a few metres from the box of laksa.then head to frozen seafood section n get some prawns for laksa.bring it back to camp and boil n as in instructions.this really taste like laksa and has enough to make 2 bowls of laksa!less water added makes it more tastier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tips on cooking cheap and readily availiable swilverside corned beef ($5.70/kg)at meat section.
1)wash the meat off the chemicals till it is no longer slippery.
2)boil in some water to boil off 50% of chemicals n salt off meat in hot water for 7mins.
3)throw away hot water which is really salt n chemical water.
4)put fresh water in pot with meat n boil for 35 mins.
it should taste like culinary whale meat where the fat bursts apart n meat seperates into 2 like a sponge cake when u bite into it.

There is definately something wrong with the rocky water. its tastes aweful. im having to buy bottled water. if only there was a university in town that had smart enough people to actually study and publish the water facts. they could then put it in the local paper and shame the council\government into doing something.

For the last six months my wife has been generally unwell, with dehydration and gastro. She was chatting with a friend about it and she suggested drinking bottled water. For around a month she has been doing so, and feeling much better, at least about the water. It seems to be a popular subject around town at the moment and we know of quite a few sick people suffering from similar problems. the majority of them have resorted to also buying their water, and we are yet to hear of anybody who isnt feeling better simply by not drinking the town water. Fair enough, we all know the council cant admit there is anything wrong with the waterways, that might make them liable .... Dont they run the water suply around here .....
I remember a few years ago a project (Australian Army off memory) that made clean drinking water from one of the worlds most polluted sources, might have been in India, but we are not worth the cost .... Thanks council ....
I see the roundabouts on the south side are getting more love, but we get very little, Theres been a chunk missing from the footpath out front of my house for about 4 months. Wait, I guess I'm lucky to have a footpath AT ALL out front of my house .... Council wont be interested in fixing it until someone falls into it and sues them, then it might get prioritized.
