Just before we went to print for this issueI attended the Toowoomba and SuratBasin Enterprise evening held at theDalby Bowls Club.

One definite perk was the bar, but itwas also interesting to meet such a di-verse range of people.

The resources sector is so large thatwe are sometime guilty of stereotypingits workers.

I’m sure many Australians, when theyhear the term miners, would immediate-ly think of men driving dump trucks.

However at the enterprise event I metall manner of people from constructionworkers, to people on the HR team.

Another definite highlight for manyworkers in our humble S. Basin aroundthis time of year would have to havebeen the Chinchilla Melon Festival.

As our lovely front cover shot provesthe men in orange (QGC) were out in fullforce, and Origin also helped out withsome sponsorship.

This is an event that only rolls aroundevery two years, and skiing on water-melons is something you can tell thegrandkids about in years to come. Onpage 6 of this month’s issue we’ve got agreat story about some workers whotook initiative to help out in a fundraiserfor a local with MS who needed a newwheelchair.

These are the stories that make theenergy sector great, examples of themen and women sent to work in a com-munity actively involving themselves init. We hope to uncover many more ofthese stories for our pages.

Enjoy this month’s edition and we willsee you in May, when the CFMEU MayDay celebrations kick off.

Notes fromthe Editor

We are well into the newyear now and workersshould at this stage be fa-miliarising themselves withtheir work entitlements andtheir company’s require-ments for things such aspay, hours of leave and pe-nalty rates.

Also remember never topush the boundaries of sa-fety because of companypressure.

At this stage in the year alot of our focus will beturned towards a major im-pending problem for our in-dustry.

This is the possible pos-sible privatisation of theelectricity industry, giventhe Costello Report thatcame out March 1.

One of the recommen-dations in this report is thatthe Newman Governmentshould privatise all govern-ment owned entities.

This would have big im-plications for our workers,namely it would mean thetwo power corporations

This is not something wewill take lying down andthere will be a public cam-paign beginning, spear-headed by the Council ofUnions, and we will be lob-bying government comingup to the next election.

In other news for the yearso far, CFMEU has a num-ber of enterprise agree-ments across the WesternDowns in the balck coalmining and energy sectors.

We are also looking to in-crease out membershipacross the Surat Basin,and anyone interestedshould get in youch withtheir local branch or checkout our website.

We will be having our an-nual May Day celebrationin the next few months torally the workers togetherand enjoy a social environ-ment. This is ususally heldin Dalby and is a greatchance for our members tobring their families and en-joy a day of barbecue, kidsactivities socialisation.

(Stanwell and CF Energy)would have to go out on theopen market and be sold toan investor.

This could mean possi-ble job cuts for our workers.

Job cuts on such a scaleare normally done throughrestructuring if it is a privateentity as it would be in thiscase.

Another detrimental im-pact of this would be thespike in electricity pricesthat Western Downs resi-dents would have to pay,being footed with the bill.

➤ EVENTS AROUND THE REGION

What’s on this month


MARANOA Regional Councilhas agreed to fund any deficitin the Easter in the Countrybudget after Origin Energycontroversially pulled out ofsponsoring the event.

The company pulled thou-sands of dollar funding justweeks before the event overconcerns for animal welfare.

On Wednesday, councilvoted to fill any deficit left inthe event’s budget, up to thevalue of Origin’s sponsorship.

President of the Easter inthe Country committee JennyFlynn said they were ex-tremely pleased.

“The Easter in the Countrycommittee is delighted tohave the support of the Mara-noa Regional Council,” MsFlynn said.

“It just goes to show whatEaster in the Country meansto this community.”

Ms Flynn said the commit-tee had already filled some ofthe budget gap left by Origin’spull out and they were speak-ing with other sponsors.

She said the committeehoped they would be able tofill the gap without the assis-tance of council.

In previous years, Originhas been one of the event’smajor sponsors.

An Origin spokespersonconfirmed their withdrawalwas due to concerns over ani-

mal welfare.“If it involves animals, such

as livestock, and it contra-

venes RSPCA treatment ofanimal policies, the sponsor-ship cannot proceed,” the

spokesperson said.Mayor Robert Loughnan

stressed the council funding

was a one off and councildidn’t want to set a precedentfor funding the event in com-ing years.

He also said Origin’s deci-sion to pull funding was “ap-palling” and they were “hidingbehind the animal welfare is-sue”.

“This is more to do with thereduction of profit margins forthe APLNG project,” CrLoughnan said.

In other Easter in the Coun-try news, the event programhas been released

IN A TIME when many mining com-panies (especially coal) are cryingpoor, a Chinese government-ownedoperation has posted mind blowingprofits.

The coal mining firm operating inCentral Queensland has brokenproduction records and posted aprofit of more than $400 million inresults released in February.

Yancoal owns Cameby Downs inSurat Basin, near Miles.

It also owns the Yarrabee Mine,west of Gladstone and Rock-hampton, plus has a joint venturewith Peabody Mining for the Middle-mount mine.

In a release to the AustralianStock Exchange, Yancoal reportedits net profit climbed $100 million in12 months, rising from $301.5 millionfor 2011 to $406.1 million for the 12months to December 31 last year.

Across its portfolio of nine pro-jects, including a number in NewSouth Wales, Yancoal produced 14.7million tonnes of coal and sold 14.8million tonnes, eclipsing formerrecords.

But despite the apparently positiveresults, its ASX release suggestedYancoal would focus on cost-cuttingas it battled against the rising cost ofmining and falling coal prices plagu-ing the resources sector.

According to its statement, theissues “forced Yancoal to revieweach of its mining operations with theaim of reducing costs as much aspossible”.

“This work will continue into 2013;however significant progress hasalready been made by reducing theuse of contractors and consultantswhere possible.”

The company flagged it aimed tosecure more customers so salescould keep up with the growingamount of metal-making or metal-lurgical coal being mined.

Yancoal also suggested it was“cautiously optimistic” about coalprices improving, after hitting what itsaw as the market floor in late 2012.

In a market where economistswere delivering bleak outlooks fol-lowing a turbulent past four years, itis a sign things might be looking up.

Chief economist of the Queens-land Resources Council, DavidRynne, said the data coming in wasshowing there was hope in sight,however improvements remainedtentative.

“It will take a while for things tostabilise and build that investor confi-dence again,” he said.

YOUNG hearts will be heavy inDalby after the Mirage nightclubcalled last drinks.

While the club will still be ableto be used as a nightclub if theowners change their mind, cash-ing in on the lucrative housingindustry in a mining town wasjust too good an opportunity tobe missed.

After renovating its upstairsrooms, the Oasis Hotel offersaccommodation in 21 refur-bished rooms; a mixture of sin-gles, queens and kings, and thedigs are plush.

Each room also has a largebalcony to sweeten the deal.

The club’s last night of oper-ation was in January, and man-ager Paul Thomas said accom-modation will replace thenightclub as the main source ofincome.

The rooms were booked for amonth straight by mining compa-nies for their workers, with morebookings throughout the yearpencilled in.

Mr Thomas said he had tomake a smart business call onthe decision.

“The loud music and noisewasn’t an option anymore whenwe turned our attention to theaccommodation side of things,”

Mr Thomas said.“It was a business decision,

but the option is always there toreopen the nightclub if we want-ed to go that way.

“We decided to close due tothe success of the bookings.”

One thing is for sure, therooms beat staying in a miningcamp, as one worker told ThirstyWork.

The Oasis will continue underits normal liquor license and thepublic bar will be open until 2amFriday and Saturdays.

Check them out in Cunning-ham St, Dalby.

DIG ITDIG IT


By Nikki MorrisonIT’S NOT OFTEN clients

tell me that their goal is toincrease in size or mass. Butlast week I had two, bothmen, both keen to build bodymass. It got me thinking thatthis type of training canreally benefit everyone.

Muscle hypertrophy is astyle of training which in-creases muscle size. I oftenhear women say they don’twant to get big and bulky.The good news is, while youwill get a better shape, youwon’t bulk up like a man.

Results from this type oftraining occur to a greaterdegree in men due to diffe-rences in hormone levels.Hypertrophy training assistswith fat loss by increasingmuscle size, which in turnincreases our metabolic rateIt is an intense workout, witha large volume of sets andreps that makes it very chal-lenging. The goal of hyper-

trophy training for an in-termediate lifter is toaccumulate 250 plus repsper workout. The weightshould be moderate (about70% of 1RM).

The tempo of the workoutshould be slower (3:2), withsets performed in 60-70second durations. Here is anexample of an intermediatewhole body workout basedon the guidelines for hyper-trophy training.

Squats 3 x 12Lunges 3 x 12Bench Press 5 x 15Assisted chin ups 3 x 10Lat Pulldown 3 x 15Shoulder Press 3 x 12Total reps = 258Plus core exercisesA beginner to hypertrophy

training should make thefollowing adjustments: lightto moderate weight (60%1RM), less exercises, twosets, 12 reps, a quickertempo (2:2).

THE GYLCEMIC Index (GI)measures the effect of foodon your blood-glucose le-vels.

Foods that contain carbo-hydrates cause your bloodsugar levels to rise. Once inthe body, insulin is producedand the glucose is transport-ed from the blood to yourtissues, causing glucoselevels to drop. This cyclecreates a bell-like curve.

Foods with a high GI havea steep curve and a dramat-ic drop, while low GI foodshave a much steadier curve.It is the dramatic rise inblood-glucose levels thatcan be damaging to ourhealth, particularly our arter-

ies. In terms of weight loss,high GI foods make us feelhungrier sooner, about every90 minutes. Also, the excessinsulin created to transportthe glucose can mean grea-ter fat storage.

On the other hand, low GI

foods make us feel fuller forlonger by providing a morestable stream of energy. Thismeans less snacking andgenerally better eating ha-bits. Try and think aboutmaking two of your threedaily meals contain low GIfoods. This is important ifweight loss is a priority, or ifyou want to maintain yourweight.

This type of diet is sustain-able, and should be consi-dered long term. It is aboutmaking better food choicesand doing good things foryour body, it is not about a‘quick fix’ for weight loss.

Low GI foods are thosewith a GI less than 55.Author of Changing Habits Changing lives, Cyndi O'Meara with some Low GI products.

The good old days of comingoff the field to have a halftimecigarette are long gone.

These days you’re a bit oddif you don’t do some sort ofexercise, but for many, ye oldjog just doesn’t cut it any-more. So what is the latestcraze? The thing that peopleget up early for to physicallypunish themselves?

CrossFit of course.The idea behind this wor-

kout regime is not to get mas-sive. It is to gear the body forfitness across any type ofactivity. Think of it as a crosssection. Cross fit.

It combines weights withaerobic and anaerobic exer-cise in powerful, short ses-sions. A session can typicallybe 30 minutes to an hour,several times a week, de-pending on how serious youare about whipping your body

into shape.These are high intensity

workouts. One CrossFit ses-sion will be better than threeaverage paced running ses-sions. Self confessed fitnessjunkie and CrossFit trainerEmma Archbold said it wastraining for everyone from agrandma to a younger siste-r.“It’s movement you use ineveryday life,” she said.

“It’s high intensity but it’s

scaled to suit different pe-ople’s ability. It’s up to theindividual themselves andtheir ability.”

Emma also said to expectthe unexpected, as you neverknow what the session will beuntil you walk in.

How interesting is the English language, particular-ly when it’s liberally sprinkled with ‘sayings’!

We use these sayings commonly and we un-derstand their meaning, but we have little idea ofwhere they came from.

A pity, because the origin is the most interestingpart of the saying.

For example ‘don’t throw the baby out with thebath water’.

This saying originated in the middle ages whenpersonal hygiene was rather different to what it istoday.

No electric pumps, no tap water, no bathroomsand showers.....no wonder most people onlywashed every few weeks.

Families had a large bath that was carried inonce a month and placed near the fire in the livingroom.

The bath was filled by pouring in pots of waterheated over the fire, something which undoubtedlytook a good part of the morning.

Then it was bath time for the whole family, start-ing with the eldest (usually the husband), then thewife, then the children one by one in order of age.

The water soon became dirty and clouded from amonth’s worth of accumulated dirt and grime onevery member of the large family.

By the time the baby was bathed the child washardly visible in the dirty water.

Hence they had to be very careful not to mis-takenly throw the baby out with the bath water!

The saying caught on, and here we are still usingit almost a thousand years later.

Stay tuned for our lingo legend column nextmonths, when we get to the bottom of anotherweird saying.

INDUSTRYUPDATES

A COMPLEX legal fight over a nativetitle claim could decide who receivesroyalties from several massive southernQueensland coal seam gas projects.

The long-running battle, which will beheard in the Federal Court in Brisbanelater this week, dates back to a 2008native title claim.

It involves several possible traditionalowners in the region surrounding Ro-ma, St George and Surat. Among thosefighting to be recognised as traditionalowners are members of the Mailman,Binge, Combargno and Weribone fami-lies.

While most of the potential traditionalowners were previously listed on theclaim, a meeting in Roma nearly a year

ago led to a competing claim.It is also understood the mediation

was first heard through the NationalNative Title Tribunal, but due to anadministrative change the FederalCourt is now handling the mediationprocess.

The case has also attracted the in-terest of numerous gas and miningcompanies operating in the region,including Origin Energy, Santos, QGC,Xstrata and Australia Pacific LNG.

Mining companies operating in accor-dance with any successful native titleclaim would need to provide compensa-tion to the affected traditional owners.

The case has been in and out ofmediation sessions since 2008.

Native title battle

GUEST speaker David Rynnehad the audience’s undividedattention at this month’s SuratBasin Enterprise evening.

A good crowd turned up to theDalby Bowls Club to mingle andshare a drink for what has be-come a popular industry event.

Mr Rynne, the director ofeconomics and infrastructure atthe Queensland ResourcesCouncil, is a man who knowswhat he is talking about and isnot a fan of sugar coating.

“The wages are unsustain-able,” he told the crowd.

“I know we’re all enjoyingthem at the moment but they arenot sustainable.”

Speaking about a tumultuouscouple of years for the energysector, Mr Rynne said the in-dustry had experienced twobooms and two busts within twoyears - a climate bound to makeinvestors nervous. Despite the

challenges, the outlook is stillsunny, with big investment dol-lars set to drop in from India.

“India will be a huge growthmarket, much like China,” MrRynne said.

“It is what we describe as ‘stillon the tarmac,’ but when it takesoff… hold onto your seats.

“The demand for what wehave in this part of the world isinsatiable.”

Industry representatives,service providers and workerswere all present for the evening,

which was hosted by Dalby civilconstruction company OstwaldBrothers, and MC’d by executivegeneral manager Matthew Ost-wald.

Mr Rynne said QRC’s priorityfor the year was to tackle theState Government’s “blunt”approach to Statutory RegionalPlanning, in which prime farm-land is blocked from mining.

He described it as “a bit bluntand arbitrary for our liking.”

“Why lock up resources thatwe know we’ll get to one daymarket?” he said.

“We are saying to the govern-ment ‘it’s too blunt.’”

Mr Rynne said only timewould tell whether workerswould continue to enjoy heftypay packets they have come toknow and love, and a lot woulddepend on the economic cli-mate stabilising in the monthsand years to come.

“We have fifteen drink and

THE future of the Westlander is looking shaky withthe Queensland Government conducting a reviewof transport across the state.

The viability of the train is being questioned afterthe state government admitted they were subsidis-ing the service by $2236 per passenger.

A spokesperson for the Queensland Minister ofTransport and Main Roads Scott Emerson said theywere asking regional councils for advice.

“It is important we have this conversation, partic-ularly when some services like the Westlander costtaxpayers more than $2000,” the spokespersonsaid.

The department said demand for the Westlanderservice has declined dramatically from almost13,000 passengers in 1994/5 to about 6400 lastyear.

“There has not been a review in almost six yearsand so the way people travel has obviouslychanged in that time,” the department spokesper-son said.

“In December (2012) we had as low as 10 pas-sengers on the train,” the spokesperson said.

The Westlander train service only travels twice aweek from Brisbane through to Charleville, stoppingin Dalby, Yuleba, Roma and Mitchell.

It takes a staggering 15 hours for the train to getfrom Brisbane to Roma, and the same amount oftime for the return journey.

The state government has not ruled out closingdown the service, which would no doubt be a blowto regional tourism.

WHERE else can you go to abeach party in a country pubby night and slide on a messof watermelons by day?

If you missed the ChinchillaMelon Festival this Februaryyou will have to wait two long,boring years until it rolls backaround.

The festival has come to bean annual highlight for thesleepy town, this year draw-ing a record 12,000 visitorsfor the weekend fun.

With so many people intown the mobile phone lineswent dead and organiserreckon that was the first timethe satellites have been over-loaded in Chinchilla.

For the Friday night theClub Hotel (popular drinkinghole of mining/energy work-ers near and far) was trans-formed into a Hawaii in Chin-chilla style beach thanks totonnes of sand being dumpedin it.

The next day the real funbegan, with spectators flock-ing to watch hundreds of pe-ople take on the challenges inthe melon games arena.

There was bit too much guythigh on display here for ourliking, with crowd favouritesundoubtedly the lads wearingnothing but budgee smuglersand novelty bow-ties.

Finishing dead last in theironman challenge, they wonthe crowd over with their an-tics.

Other events included pipspitting, the ironwoman race,melon throwing and of course

the melon bungee.In this event four competi-

tors are joined by a huge rub-berband around their waistsand must pull against eachother on a melon-strewn tarpto try and reach the waterme-lon in their corner before theircompetitors.

A sign at the entry declares“You will slip and fall in this

event. Injuries are likely.”That’s the great thing about

the country...they’re not intomolly-coddling.

And of course, who couldforget the famous melonsking.

The local footy team did agreat job pulling competitors(with their feet in waterme-lons)down the smashed me-

lon strewn runway all day.QGC were out in force put-

ting in a great effort in bothsponsorship and people pow-er. A busload of Brissie em-ployees came down for theevent to help out in the gamesarena.

The XXXX bar did a roaringtrade all day, with one luckydrinker winning the ultimate

mates’ getaway trip to XXXXIsland.

That afternoon ChinchillaState State School sportsoval transformed from asquishy, sloppy, slipper melongames arena to a serene set-ting for a family oncert.

You didn’t have to be a fanof country music to thorough-ly enjoy the show put on by

country music artists MarkusMieir and The McClymonts.

MC for the night was pop-ular Triple J presenter AlexDyson, from Breakfast withTom and Alex.

His chat had kept the me-lon-coverd crowds in the are-na entertained all day and hisintroductions of the artist wasjust as hilarious.

I COULD have saved a lifethis week.Aboycouldhave receivedalife-saving kidney transplantif I did one simple thing.And I didn’t do it.Why? Because sadly, “lik-ing” a picture on Facebookisn’t going to change a life.Maybe you’ve seen thesame image (pictured right) –it’s doing the rounds at themoment.Chances are oneof yourFa-cebook friendswas one of the408,937 around the world toalready like it.It’s a shot of a poor seven-year-old boy from the UK, sit-ting next to what looks like adialysis machine.He’s holding up a sign thatreads: “If I can get a millionlikes on Facebook and raiseawareness of organ donation,my mum says I could get anew kidney.”You’reprobablywonderingthe same thing as me: “Whatsort of mother puts theirson’s life in thehandsof amil-lion strangers online?”But before we get too out-raged, there’s something youshould know.

It’s just a poorly writtensign.Mum isn’t putting totalfaith in the hands of the inter-net community.She just hopes this onlinecampaign can find a kidneyfor her son, bypassing a na-tional waiting list with hun-dreds of other children on it.I’ll confess, at first Ithought this was a hoax.Sadly, it turned out thatthis boy, and the rare geneticdisorder killing his kidneys,are real.It’s tragic, and I do hope hegets his kidney and anothershot at life.

I just don’t see the cam-paign as the key to pulling offthis miracle.Too many people think“liking” something and doingnothing to follow it up will

change things.Real action is needed.If you want to change theworld, get out there and re-gister as an organ donor.That’s a positive move in the

right direction.A simple “like” is nothing –it’s intangible.Social media is powerful,but it’s not magical.My “like”would do nothing

to get this boy closer to a newlife.I do hope he gets his kid-ney, I really do, but I think thesearch should remain in thereal world.

IF YOU’RE looking for a newwatering hole, the QuinalowHotel is probably your answ-er.

About 30 minutes north ofDalby, the Quinalow Hotelnot only has a bit of charac-ter, it’s also got a great storybehind it.

The recycled publicans atthe Quinalow Hotel saidcoming back to the smalltown was “just like putting onan old slipper”.

Greg and Cheryl Daleytook over the freehold on thepub in October last year,some 20 years after owningit the first time.

“We just felt really com-fortable coming back,” Gregsaid.

“There are not a lot ofchanges, which is a goodthing.

“The little ones who werekids now have kids of theirown.”

The Daley own the pubbetween 1993/94, but after18 months in Quinalowdecided it was time to moveon.

“We were in our mid-30s,looking for greener pastures,doing other stuff,” Greg said.

“We had a few other diffe-rent things we wanted to do.”

After owning other pubs,dabbling in the restaurantindustry, getting into theproperty market and Greggetting back on the tools asa plasterer, whispers startedto snowball about possibilityof buying the pub backagain.

After to-ing and fro-ingwith the pub owner, anagreement was made andthe Daleys were ready to callQuinalow home again.

Not being brought up inthe area, the pair says it wasthe people which were amain attraction to retire inQuinalow.

“It’s just the people, thereare no ferals,” he said.

“Everyone has a bit of ago at you and it’s all in goodfun.”

As for the future, the pairhas no plans to leave thearea any time soon, insteadthey’ve begun renovating thepub.

MAKING WAVES: Local Greg Rockliff carves up a wake on Lake Broadwater recently, following a good dose of rain. Photo Contributed

Some ski 4 breakfast?While most people are content to shake themselves into the working day with a cup of coffee,one bunch of locals prefer a high speed jaunt behind a ski boat.

For Brady Cumming and a few friends the best way to begin a weekday is with an early morn-ing water ski on Lake Broadwater.

“Two or three of us guys go early at 6am before work,” Mr Cumming said.“It’s a good refreshing start to the week, good start to the day.”Following an extremely short closure in January, after water levels dropped dangerously low,

the lake was flooded in the Australia Day weekend floods, much to skiers’ delight.The spot has been buzzing with kayakers, skiers, boaters, and tubers since then; re-cement-

ing its position as one of Dalby’s prime attractions.Seeing the lake full has revived calls from many residents for action to be taken keeping it

full all year round.Mr Cumming said the lake was an important part of Dalby life, including stimulating local

business through people buying fuel for their boats and food for their barbecues.It raises an old debate.“It used to be always full, but in the last ten years we’ve had drought periods where it’s been

dry,” Mr Cumming said.“I’d definitely like to see something done to keep it full all year round.”

If you have the urge to see afour tonne truck get air-borne, then you have a datewith the Dalby Show-grounds.

The monster trucks youmay have seen stationedaround Dalby are part of theExtreme Bullride and Mon-ster Truck Spectacular set towow Dalby on Saturday,March 9.

Description: A look at the lives of Pete and Debbie a few years after the events ofKnocked Up. Rated: [PG] Running time: 134 minutes Stars: Megan Fox, Paul Rudd,Chris O'Dowd

Review: I can hear my joints click when I walk. I've just turned 38. It's the sameage Debbie (Leslie Mann) pretends to be ahead of her 40th birthday in This Is 40, asif 38 was that much less like being middle-age.

Goodness knows what state I'll be in in a couple of years. But if director Judd Apa-tow's spin-off from 2007's Knocked Up is anything to go by, turning 40 is the momentmiddle-class lives are supposed to either fall apart or into place.

While Debbie is struggling with her age she's oblivious to the mess husband Pete(Paul Rudd) is hiding from her. He's turning 40 too.

Together they're too financially over-committed to afford midlife crises but Debbiedoesn't know this. She's busy reconnecting with her family, including her estrangedfather (John Lithgow), and envying the body of one of the assistants in her boutique(Megan Fox). Twenty years ago these 40-year-olds might've bought sports cars andhad affairs with much younger people who like shiny things.

But Debbie and Pete don't have the cash for any of that. Instead, they're banningcupcakes, abusing Viagra, joking about murdering one another and trying to re-launch the careers of borderline retiree rock stars (Graham Parker). Middle-agenever looked more like youth. But maybe that's just a lie 38-year-olds tell themselves.

Review: This is 40

ONE of the best lookingshooters has finally re-turned, and it looks to bethe best yet.

Crysis 3 is Crytek's lat-est graphical power-house, and it looks to notonly be the best looking,but it strives to be thebest shooter around.This time around, asProphet, the story is defi-nitely a lot more perso-nal. Your surroundingcharacters are strongeras well.

Cell is once againserving as the "evil cor-poration" and they'reresponsible for strippingfighters of the nano-suit.

This leaves Prophetas the sole owner of the

last nano-suit, and heuses it to go up againstCell.

The big new weaponin Crysis 3 is the new

bow, which is essential instealthy game play.

You can stay in cloakmode while you use thebow, which makes the

game pretty easy.Enemy A.I. doesn't

really adapt well whenthey figure out that theirallies are being myste-riously taken down byelectrical or explosive ar-rows. In the end, usingthe bow is still a lot of fun.

Crysis 3 doesn't rein-vent the wheel when itcomes to first personshooters, but it does doenough to separate itselffrom others.

The graphics are se-cond to none, and willconstantly leave yourjaw on the floor.

The game play is re-fined and polished, andoffers a lot of new fea-tures to make it feel new.

LOCAL composer NathanCarlson said moving back tothe genre of his youth hasmade him a better musicianand he was ready to take onthe musical work after therelease of his first EP.

The ex-heavy metal guita-rist, who now releases musicas The Nathan Carlson Pro-ject, has ventured to the other

end of the musical spectrumwith his new venture anddescribes his sound as “me-lodic synth-pop from downunder.”

Carlson has played theguitar for 12 years, smashingthe fret board for upward of 16hours a day at his prime.

“But it came to the pointwhere nothing was happeningwith it,” he said.

“It got to the point where itwas boring. I just didn’t feel it.”

So Carlson went back to the70s and 80s electronic musiche grew up with, and into

composing.He started playing around

with sounds around three orfour years ago and found iteasier to write a completesong from a keyboard andsynthesiser than a guitar.

“This is what I am,” he said.“This is what I’ve always

been into since the first time I

heard music. And it just snow-balled from there.”

Moving back to the elec-tronica genre has Carlson intouch with his emotional sideonce more, something hebelieves is vital.

“Music is the language ofthe soul. To me it’s infinity,” hesaid.

DON’T like Guinness?You’ve tried the wrongstuff.

This is a drop not tobe tried from a can.

Head to Ireland....oralternatively to a decentlocal pub, and ask for apint of the black stuff. Agood bartender shouldpour it, let it sit, and topit to the brim. You wanta good creamy head.

A good Guinness willmake you feel likeyou’ve just had a heartycounter meal.

A few years backGuinness had a hugeoverhaul of all its tapsaround all the bars inIreland.

There was somethingamiss.......the Irish were

complaining the brewhad gone bad.

So the companycarried out mass in-spections and refits andnow, as many an Irish-man will tell you, thedrop is back to its best.

SUPER Rugby fans arebreathing a sigh of relief withthe game they play in hea-ven back on our TV screensfor another season.

For us Queenslanders,our attention will be focusedon the Reds and how their2013 campaign will play out.

We’re one and one so farthis season, after goingdown to the Brumbies inround one in Canberra, butknocking off the enemysouth-of-the-border at Sun-corp in round two.

The Reds are dealing witha few changes this season.

Firstly, they’ve got a newhead coach in former West-ern Force head honchoRichard Graham.

But the Link lovers neednot fret; the former headcoach is still on board, mov-ing into a director of coach-ing position.

So the Reds have thebrains trust at the helm forthem to perform well, butcan they convert on thefield?

Captain James Horwill isstill sidelined, recovering

from a serious hamstringinjury.

His rehab is on track andhis injection into the Reds’run-on team will bring aburst of confidence into theplaying group.

Then there’s arguably thebest half back in the world,Will Genia, who will be side-lined for a couple moreweeks.

The Reds forward packhas also lost a key flanker inScott Higginbotham to theRebels.

With Queensland’s depth,missing two key playershasn’t made a massivedifference.

Ed Quirk played out of hisskin against the Tahs lastweekend.

Youngster Liam Gill has acouple of Super Rugbyseasons under his belt andis a leader on the side of thescrum.

With the likes of veteransCooper, Ioane, Shipperleyand Harris, plus 52-gamestand in scrum-half BenLucas, the Reds still havethe goods.

And the screen goes RedThe Reds are shapingup as a challenging force
