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, but loved by many. Kuta gets its so called bad reputation from the early days of travel to Bali where everybody, particularly the young crowd, hung out and got wrecked. 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.

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.

Continued from page 1 The Bali starlings' natural environment is in the West Bali National Park, located in the western part of the island. This is the first time that the birds have been released outside their natural habitat. Ketut Catur Marbawa, the head of the conservation section of the Nature Conservation Agency (BKSDA) said: The original habitat (of the birds) is the West
Bali National Park. We once released bird on Nusa Penida island because its environment mirrored the National Park. But, this is the first time we have released the birds in a new type of habitat. The Green School is located in a verdant jungle river setting, markedly different from the arid climate of West Bali. T h e B e g a w a n Foundation, who facilitated the Bali Starling release, has coordinated with the 7 villages
or banjars located near the Green School to socialize the program and seek community support for the reintroduction of the birds into nature. We hope that the local people will join in by protecting this natural asset. The Bali Starling belongs to the people of Bali and is the mascot of the island, explained Catur. www.balidiscovery.com

The NRL has blocked the Super Rugby franchise's move to sign Buderus as a collision coach, saying no third party agreement has been lodged as the salary cap requires. The league issued a statement seeking "an immediate explanation" from the Knights with regards to the deal. "It is hard to envisage any circumstance where an agreement could be approved that allowed a current NRL player to promote another code competing in the same market as an NRL team," interim NRL chief executive Shane Mattiske said. "The announcement today which saw Danny at a press conference in another code's training gear underlines potential issues. "...as much as we respect Danny's intentions we do not see any way in which the proposal can be pursued." Brumbies boss Andrew Fagan told Grandstand the Brumbies would simply have to wear it. "If it doesn't work for the NRL then so be it," Fagan said. "We will have to look for someone else but we don't have anyone in mind at the moment." Fagan said he thought that Buderus had the Knights' blessing but evidently not the NRL's. "It's certainly an unfortunate series of events," he said earlier on Thursday. "We tried to provide Danny with an opportunity to pursue some coaching, which he understood he was keen to do. "That was endorsed and supported by the Knights organisation and Wayne Bennett but unfortunately the NRL weren't aware of the deal. "They've got some issues with it we would like to see those issues worked through but if that is not the case then we just have to move on." Fagan said that because Newcastle had endorsed the deal, he assumed the NRL had as well. The Knights have since said in a statement that the final agreement between Buderus and the Brumbies had not been seen by the club and needs to be submitted to and approved by the NRL. But Newcastle chief executive Matt Gidley did say the club had encouraged Buderus to seek varied work experience.

Ask Martha
Dear Martha, My husband and I are happily married and have been for 6 years. Just recently we have had a few more arguments relating to him thinking that I always take sides with others rather than him. He had an altercation with a staff member and tells me about it, then I respond in such a way that he believes I'm on the staff member's side and that I don't support him. This happens quite regularly to the point where, I'm beginning to question if it's something I really am doing not knowingly on purpose! I know I'm the type of person who can play devil's advocate, I also know that I avoid any argument like the plague and I try to be friends with everyone. I would say that I am the type of person that really tries hard to get along with everyone as I don't like others not liking me. So, is this sticking up for others rather than my husband more about my own persona being at jeopardy? I'm trying to establish whether this is my husband being defensive of his own actions and not wanting to hear constructive criticism, OR is this something that perhaps I do and need to address myself to be able to support my husband more empathetically. Irene Dear Irene, It's pretty simple. Stop taking sides. Stop playing devil's advocate and letting him know you can see someone else's point of view. This wouldn't matter except your husband is telling you clearly he wants you to listen to him and give him your support not tell him where he's gone wrong. Is this burying your true feelings and making nice about a situation? Of course it is. But in a good marriage you learn to shut KUTA TOWNHOUSES @ 0361-761464, 081337207304 up sometimes. You certainly learn you don't always have to be right about things and that showing them support and trust and not needing them to see things your way is a loving act - not some sacrifice of will. I don't mean you can't speak your mind. Speak up. But don't speak up just to tell him he's in the wrong about some pissy fight with a workmate. Instead sit back and say very little. Don't try to solve it for him or be the hero. Be a good listener instead. If he asks you what you think say: It sounds like you are incredibly frustrated and I can understand why. If he asks what you think he should do, put it back on him. Tell him you know he'll sort this problem out eventually. This is not about keeping quiet so your husband is deluded about the way he comes across to others. Be a good listener. Mostly that's what people want. If your husband is not good at taking constructive criticism then let him work out his own problems, especially if they are petty or small. Martha

Lowy watched from the wings. "In that regard, other codes should be concerned. "Foundation stones are in place that will be pretty hard to shift. "If football gets its act together the other codes need to be really worried about it." Gallop should know. He used to be one of the worriers. Now he's keen to establish street cred in his brave new world. He grew up watching Jimmy Hill on England's Match Of The Day TV show. He used to watch the Canberra Arrows when Johnny Warren coached them. His son and daughter both played the game and he would coach and occasionally referee at Sydney's Queen's Park. He follows unfashionable West Brom in England's Premier League, thanks to a fanatical old friend. Rugby league is a passion. The most he can say about football is that he has always liked and admired it. But few people in Australian sport have an insider's knowledge of what he is now up against.

David Gallop leapt to his feet like thousands of others as he watched John Aloisi boot Australia into the World Cup at Sydney's Olympic stadium in 2005, then checked himself and quickly sat down again.
"With my rugby league hat on, I remember thinking this could be bad. The sleeping giant of Australian sport just got a giant prod," the former NRL boss said on his first day in charge of the aspiring Goliath. "I was one of the first in the stadium to sit down." Last month the Socceroos had Gallop leaping out of his seat again when Archie Thompson scored a late winner in a World Cup qualifier against Iraq in Doha. This time he was sitting in his lounge room. "And this time I didn't have to sit down," Gallop said as he fronted the media for the first time
"Thriller" is a song recorded by American recording artist Michael Jackson, composed by Rod Templeton, and produced by Quincy Jones. It is the seventh and final single from his sixth studio album of the same name. It was released on November 12, 1983 in most countries and January 23, 1984 in the United States by Epic Records. The song has appeared on multiple greatest hits compilation albums from Jackson, including HIStory (1995), Number Ones (2003), The Essential Michael Jackson (2005), and Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) and it was remixed to the Immortal album in 2011. The song, which has a voice-over from actor Vincent Price, had originally been titled "Starlight". The song's instruments include a bassline and synthesizer. In the song, sound effects such as a creaking door, thunder, feet walking on wooden planks, winds and howling dogs can be heard, and the lyrics contain frightening themes and elements. "Thriller" received positive reviews from critics, though the song was outshone by its music video. "Thriller" became Jackson's seventh top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from the album, while reaching the top of the charts in France and Belgium and the top ten in other countries. "Thriller" was adapted into a highly successful music video, known independently as Michael Jackson's Thriller. At fourteen minutes the video is substantially longer than the song, which ties together a narrative featuring Jackson and actress Ola Ray in a setting heavily inspired by horror films of the 1950s. In the video's most iconic scene, Jackson leads other actors costumed as zombies in a choreographed dance routine. Though it garnered some criticism for its occult theme and violent imagery, the video was immediately popular and received high critical acclaim, being nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards in 1984 and winning three. In 2009 it was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, the first music video ever selected. "Thriller" was written by Rod Templeton, and produced by Quincy Jones. "Thriller" was originally titled "Starlight",contrary to other reports of the title "Starlight Love".While the song was titled "Starlight", the song's hook lyrics were "Starlight! Starlight sun...", but after the song was changed to "Thriller" the hook was rewritten to "Thriller! In the night..."Temperton commented, While Temperton was writing "Thriller" he stated that he'd "always envisioned" a "talking section at the end" on the song, but did not really know what "to do with it", until deciding "to have somebody, a famous voice, in the horror genre, to do this vocal."Jones' then-wife, Peggy Lipton, who knew Vincent Price, suggested Price for the vocal part, which Price agreed to do. Recording Thriller", along with other songs from Thriller, was recorded by Jackson over the course of eight weeks, in 1982. Jackson recorded the song at Westlake Recording Studios on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. Bruce Swedien, the song's engineer, said of the song being recorded, When we started 'Thriller', the first day at Westlake, we were all there and Quincy [Jones, the producer] walked in followed by me and Michael and Rod Temperton and some of the other people. Quincy turned to us and he said, 'OK guys, we're here to save the recording industry.' Now that's a pretty big responsibility but he meant it. And that's why those albums, and especially 'Thriller', sound so incredible. The basic thing is, everybody who was involved gave 150 percent Quincy's like a director of a movie and I'm like a director of photography, and it's Quincy's job to cast it. Quincy can find the people and he gives us the inspiration to do what we do.

Pope Benedict visited a home for the elderly and told its residents that life can be beautiful at every age.
" I f e e l younger after being here," the pope, 85, said as he was leaving a home run by the Roman Catholic Sant' Egidio Community in a Rome neighborhood near the Vatican. "In every age we have to know how to discover the presence of the blessings of the Lord and the riches that they contain," he told the residents.

that the quality of a society and a civilization can be judged by how they treat their elderly. The Sant' Egidio community, which has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times, runs h o m e l e s s shelters, AIDS clinics and homes for the elderly on several continents. In 1992 it brokered an end to the 15-year civil war in Mozambique, where it now runs programs to stop the passage of HIV/AIDS from mothers to their children.

Australia's Casey Stoner finished third in his last ever MotoGP race before retirement as Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa won the Valencia Grand Prix on Monday morning.
W o r l d champion Jorge Lorenzo was denied a victorious season finale on home soil when he crashed out while leading an incident-packed race to hand victory to Pedrosa. Stoner pipped Yamaha's Alvaro Bautista to third 23 seconds behind Pedrosa, who had held off Lorenzo and Briton Cal Crutchlow, who also crashed out with seven laps to go. Japan's Yamaha pilot Katsuyuki Nakasuga, standing in for injured American Ben Spies, finished second. The podium finish comes a week after winning at his unofficial home circuit at Phillip Island for the sixth time. The Honda mechanics paid tribute to Stoner as he crossed the line and hung out a sign reading "Going fishing" for the 27-year-old, a possible hint of how he may fill some of his time after falling out of love with the sport. Stoner told reporters he had ridden a careful race as he was worried about hurting the foot he damaged in Indianapolis in August. "We went way too late to the slick tires but we brought it home and got on the podium and there are a lot worse ways to end my career," he said. "I want to thank my team,

"I have never started from the pit lane before and I was full of doubts. "I made a mistake when I was right behind Jorge and then he made one himself. It's fantastic to win the last race." In the Moto2 category, champion Marc Marquez, who will replace Stoner at Honda next season, charged from last on the grid to win ahead of Spanish compatriots Julian Simon and Nico Terol. Briton Danny Kent took victory in Moto3 ahead of Italian champion Sandro Cortese and Zulfahmi Khairuddin of Malaysia.

In a chaotic start to the 18th and final race of the season, several riders including Pedrosa had to change to bikes with slick tyres after they realised on the warm-up lap that the track was quickly drying out after a damp morning. Lorenzo already had his slick tires and raced into an early lead before Pedrosa, who had started from the pit lane after the tire change, climbed more than 15 positions in only seven laps and hauled

The AFL will look to overhaul its concussion management guidelines following an international conference on the issue. The AFL is proposing changes to include a requirement for club doctors to make greater use of video footage of the injury incident in their assessment of player fitness. There will also be a necessity for medical supervision of any follow-up selfassessment tests conducted by players. The AFL had three representatives including AFL medical commissioner Dr Peter Harcourt at the Fourth International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport in Zurich last week. Leading sporting bodies from around the world including the IOC, FIFA, the NFL, NHL and IRB attended. "This global conference has again provided us with invaluable information that can be applied to our own concussion management policies," Dr Harcourt said. "It confirmed that the AFL concussion strategy is robust and reflects current best practice." The evidence reinforced the AFL's approach that there is no definitive scientific evidence that helmets specifically prevent concussion or other brain injuries. The AFL will also revise its concussion approach for children including those involved in the Auskick program. The new consensus guidelines will be released next March.

Suspension bridges, covered bridges, wind-and-rain bridges, rope bridges, ornamental bridges. There's a practical purpose to every bridge; that river has to be crossed or that gorge spanned. But it's the romance, legend and spectacle of a bridge that led online travel consultants Cheapflights.com (www.cheapflights.com) to create its list of the Top 10 most impressive bridges around the world. Reuters has not endorsed list: 1. Tower Bridge, London, United Kingdom The world saw Tower Bridge this year during Britain's remarkable summer of Diamond Jubilee festivities, the Olympics and Paralympic Games. It was built in 1894, all Victorian Gothic with Cornish granite and Portland stone, close to the Tower of London from which it gets its name. Standing 42 meters (yards) above the legendary River Thames, its walkways are vantage points for many London landmarks. Plus, it's the only bridge on the Thames that can be raised to let boats pass. The bascules are raised approximately 1,000 times per year. 2. Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, USA No list of bridges is complete without this orange-vermillion wonder that spans the strait linking San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean. It has stood above the Golden Gate, often shrouded in fog, for 75 years. At 4,200 feet long, the Golden Gate Bridge was, for almost 30 years, the longest in the world. In a city of superb seebefore-you-die attractions, the bridge tops the list. Visitors can walk or bike across it. Alternatively, the Bridge Pavilion tells the story of the bridge and has a range of souvenirs for friends and family back home. 3. Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver, Canada This is the bridge that Guinness built. Really. The Lions Gate Bridge, known officially as the First Narrows Bridge, spans Burrard Inlet and connects the City of Vancouver to the North Shore (North Vancouver and West Vancouver). The Lions Gate refers to the mountain peaks (The Lions) that are visible to drivers heading north. The wealthy Guinness family invested heavily in West Vancouver and part of the deal was that they - through their British Pacific Properties Co. - would build all roads and water lines. Knowing that they needed to make the area more accessible, they were involved with the construction of the bridge and, in 1986, gifted its lights. 4. Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney, Australia The bridge is the largest steel-arch bridge
Sports Corner
the end of the 16th century, the bridge was upgraded to sweeter-smelling businesses for goldsmiths and jewelers. Not too different to who's there now. Lying across the Arno at its narrowest point, it's just 98feet long. 8. Victoria Falls Bridge, Zimbabwe/Zambia The Zambezi River roars beneath the Victoria Falls Bridge, which links two countries: Zimbabwe and Zambia. On one side is Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and on the other, Livingstone, Zambia. A feat of Victorian design and engineering, it took just 14 months to build. To press home its Victorian credentials, it was opened by Charles Darwin's son, George, in 1905. It's a road, railway and footway and a launch platform for thrilling bungee jumps. At 650feet long and 420 feet above the river, it's a close second to the spectacular Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya). 9. Pont Alexandre III, Paris, France Pont Neuf is Paris's oldest bridge - and one of its most famous - but the Pont Alexandre III is the most extravagant and highly decorated bridge on the Seine. This arch bridge (connecting the Champs-lyses quarter with the Invalides and Eiffel Tower quarters) was built for the Universal Exposition of 1900, the great world's fair. Russia's Tsar Nicholas II lay the first brick (it was at a time when France was courting Russia as an ally) and it was named after the Tsar's father Alexander III. This historic monument is studded with gilded-bronze winged horses, compositions in copper that represent the nymphs of the Seine (the nymphs of the Neva in Saint Petersburg are represented downstream) and ornate lamp posts (candelabras really) that are adorned with cherubs. 10. Teufelsbrcke, Switzerland This is the bridge that was built by the devil. Or so it is said. The story goes that the devil built the bridge and in exchange for his engineering and construction skills, he'd receive the first soul to cross it. The canny villagers sent a goat instead of a person, and, enraged by this, the devil tried to destroy his newly constructed bridge by throwing a boulder (the Teufelsstein, the devil's stone) at it. However, catching sight of an old woman carrying a cross, he took fright and ran away, dropping the stone as he went. Myths aside, the Teufelsbrcke spans the Reuss River high up in the Swiss mountains in the canton of Uri. It provides access to the St. Gotthard Pass. The bridge that is in use now is actually the third bridge. The first bridge (wooden and built by the devil) was built in 1230 and the second (built in the 1820s) is located close to this "new" (1950s) concrete bridge.

The Adelaide Crows and star forward Kurt Tippett have been formally charged with draft tampering and breaking the AFL's rules on player payments. The Crows' Chief Executive Steven Trigg and former Football Operations manager John Reid have also been charged with breaching AFL rules and have been ordered to appear alongside Tippett before the AFL Commission next Monday. The Crows will be asked to explain why they should not be stripped of draft picks for allegedly breaching the league's salary cap. Adelaide is accused of deliberate deceit by promising Tippett $200,000 outside of his contract and for suggesting it be kept secret. The charges are that in September or October 2009, the accused engaged in "conduct prejudicial to the draft" and that between September 2009 and October 2012, they engaged in "conduct in breach of the Total Player Payments provisions in the Rules".

was always the Club's intention to comply fully with all AFL rules on the draft and player payments." Adelaide said the club had had an exemplary record and reputation of compliance with AFL rules governing the draft and player payments. "We have the highest regard for those rules and the reason they exist," the club said. Tippett will be fighting for his immediate playing future after his $1 million a year trade to the Sydney Swans was blocked. Other sides, including the Western Sydney Giants, have since expressed interest in drafting the 25year-old. However if Tippett is found guilty, he faces suspension or being deregistered from the competition. In addition to the loss of draft picks, the club is facing a possible fine and has previously said it will accept the AFL's verdict.
The AFL says the hearing, set for November 19, could last for two days. In a statement this week the Crows said they were determined to explain their position to members, sponsors and stakeholders as soon as possible. "The Club notes that this matter is being investigated by the AFL as a direct result of our decision to report it and offer full assistance to the investigation," the Crows said in the statement. "Throughout the past three years and the recent trading period it
