Frog Callers

Frog Callers are used to call the frogs because when the frogs come, so do the rains. When the rain comes you can also use it to call the dolphins. The purpose of this instrument is to call frogs and dolphins to ensure water and food for the people. The actual sound is very much like a frog when you hold the stick and spin it around. When you hold the stick in one hand and the bottom of the frog caller on the other hand and twirl the stick tightly backwards and forwards, it will also make the sound of a dolphin. The frog callers are very popular with kids and make a fun birthday gift.

Unsung Songs

Dear God, Please help me to know and appreciate the talents you have given to me, get the necessary training to sharpen these, and the opportunity to use them to be a blessing to others and to bring glory to your name. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

1. Unsung Songs
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."1
How many songs never sung,poems never written, pictures never painted,risks never taken,bridges never crossed,romantic words never spoken…locked inside a lonely heartthe prison of another's making…are left unexpressedbecause somebodyshamed us, abandoned us,or perhaps silenced uswith a cruel word, a thoughtless deed,and said or just impliedwe were not good enough?And tragicallywe believed them—so let this be the moment we choose to believe them no more … and sing, sing, sing.2

Stella Awards (THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEYOND UNDERSTANDING

Stella Awards (THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEYOND UNDERSTANDING)
It's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember... she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving.
Here are the Stella's for the past year:
7TH PLACE :
Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
6TH PLACE :
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbour ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbour's hubcaps.
Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.
5TH PLACE :
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish.
Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.
Keep scratching. There are more...
4TH PLACE :
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbour's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Grrrrr. Scratch, scratch.
3RD PLACE:
Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
Whatever happened to people being responsible for their own actions?
Scratch, scratch, scratch. Hang in there; there are only two more Stella's to go...
2ND PLACE :
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
1ST PLACE : (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich.Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.




Lawyers must love these kind of cases!!

FRIENDS

If I happened to show up on your door step crying,Would you Care? If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something Happened, Would you come? If I had one day left, to live my life;Would you be part of That last day? If I needed a shoulder to cry on,Would you give me Yours?
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together, they move together, they cry together, They see things together and they sleep together, BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER... that's what friendship is.Life is lonely without FRIENDS.

Earth, water, fire and air

Earth, water, fire and air
The elements of earth, water, fire and air lie at the heart of many Aboriginal myths. Earth is the first element, from which water must be liberated, then water is the second element, from which fire must be taken, and the smoke of the fire represents air. The first two are usually female, and males enter them at their peril, or the male ancestral beings are born from them; the second two are male and are used in male rebirthing techniques in the boro circles, though in myth fire was often once owned by women from whom it was stolen. It partakes of both sexes, and thus in the male rebirthing ceremonies the male initiate must pass through fire to be then purified by smoke.

David Dunn
Born: 1964
Language: WIRADJURI-ENGLISH
Country: Wiradjuri Nation
Area: Trangie

Hi, my name is David Dunn; My Aboriginal name is Gaagang, which means elder brother. I come from a small town 50 miles west of Dubbo called Trangie (in Aboriginal this means quick, intercourse). I use some of the traditional symbols my father and uncles showed me but I try to use my own style. I started painting professionally in 1986, which means I have been painting for nineteen years. I remember drawing and coloring in with my mother and father when I was about five years old. I know the tradition was handed down to me then. My parents are still my inspiration to my works now. I paint from the heart and from the memories of my childhood, I have ten children, I paint a lot about them, Kids are so important. I get a lot of enjoyment out painting but the fun part is when I see other people’s expressions while they are viewing one of my works. I also paint from the heart not from a picture. I was told by an Elder from the Warburton community to paint what you feel not what you see.

Baby Turtles & Squid

BURNING MOUNTAIN

 

Long ago in the dreamtime a young girl long ago loved a warrior. One day the warrior went to fight a battle. The girl sat on the hill and watched for his return. Time passed but there was no sign of the young man. He had been killed in the fight and the girl knew she would never see him again. She cried and cried. Her tears became flames and she set the whole hill on fire. The fire is like the girls sorrow: it can never stop or be taken away. The name WEEYN means fire.
