Boomers' medal chances not looking swish
Serbia's Red Wall has turned Australia's Olympic golden dream in Rio into a living 87-61 nightmare. A shattered Boomers will now have to rebound from the devastation of such a poor performance on the world stage to play Spain for the Bronze medal. Australia came from eight points down in the third quarter of their qualification pool to beat Serbia by 15 point. But there was to be no such heroics from a flat Boomers side which were totally out-played and outclassed on one of the bigge..>> view originalSOAPBOX: It's hard to hate the fastest man
IT'S hard not to jump on the Usain Bolt bandwagon. The 29-year-old Jamaican is so cool, confident and cruisy as he goes about his Olympic finals like they were any old afternoon at his local Little Athletics. He doesn't even seem stressed as he lines up and does his little dance as the camera pans past. Usually in Australia we've got tall poppy syndrome and aren't big fans of those who are super successful and know it. But there's just something about Usain that you can't hate.

IT'S a well-used item in many kitchens, but health experts say a microwave that is leaking radiation can cause a range of health problems. Radiation expert Professor Magda Havas, of Trent University in the UK, says while microwaves are supposed to have mechanisms to protect against leaks, many still emit harmful radiation. "I've tested over a dozen of the most popular brands, and every single one that I've tested has leaked," she told the Daily Mail. As our bodies are largely made of..>> view originalREVEALED: Where QLD's worst sex offenders are lving
THEY'RE the worst sex offenders in Queensland, pedophiles and rapists so vile they are forced to remain under supervision for at least five years after they're released. And now we can tell you where they live. Documents released by the Queensland Justice Department, under freedom of information laws, in March show there are presently 94 people who have been released from jail but remain subject to police monitoring because their crimes were of a violent sexual nature or involved childr..>> view originalIs this the world's most controlling boyfriend?
AS far as romantic text messages go, this clingy note falls well short of the mark. After they parted ways to go to university, one paranoid boyfriend started bombarding his partner with controlling messages, and a photo of one of the texts has been doing the rounds online. In the over-the-top note, which originally appeared on Imgur, the man starts by saying "No boys. No drinking. No boys. No drinking. No boys. No drinking", before going on to outline what a "tremendously good person" ..>> view originalREVIEW: The stout that packs a coffee and price punch
THERE have always been some people for whom the taste of beer is not the breathtakingly wonderful experience it is for many of us. While now seemingly not as common as the practice once was during my stock and station agent days, I can clearly remember people asking for "beer with a dash". This more often than not meant the bar attendant would put a good splash of sarsaparilla in the glass before topping up with either XXXX or Carlton, depending upon which brand had the rights to supply..>> view originalOUR SAY: Kleenmaid penalties not harsh
FORMER Kleenmaid franchisee Ralph Huston may have been able to recover from the loss of $40,000 to rebuild his business in the wake of that corporate collapse. He clearly can also afford forgiveness in his assessment of the prison sentences handed two Kleenmaid directors, labelling the punishment too harsh. There are many victims of Kleenmaid and other companies whose directors have put pride, ambition, avarice or their indifference ahead of concern for creditors with a legitimate right..>> view original
