text: New Acland Coal Mine is 14 km north-north-west of Oakey, 40 km north-west of Toowoomba and 177 km west of Brisbane. New Acland Coal Mine is currently operated by the New Hope Group. The mine is currently operating 'Stage 2' of its three stage plan. New Acland Coal Mine Stage 2 consists of a 64 million tonne (Mt) product coal resource within the Acland-Sabine, Waipanna and Balgowan sequences of the Walloon Coal Measures (Queensland Government EPA, 2006, p. 5). The mine currently produces approximately 5 Mt/year of thermal product coal (New Hope Group, 2012a, p. 8) using conventional truck and excavator strip mining operations (Queensland Government EPA, 2006, p. 6). Mining commenced in 2002 and reserves are forecast to be depleted by 2017 (New Hope Group, 2012a, p. 8). Approximately 10% of the New Acland mining lease area is mined at any one time while agricultural activities continue on remaining land. Land rehabilitation is continual and is assisted by the Acland Pastoral Company to ensure the former disturbed land is returned to a commercially viable agricultural state (Queensland Government EPA, 2006, p. 13; New Hope Group, 2013). New Acland Coal Mine purchases approximately 5500 ML of recycled water per year from Toowoomba's Wetella Wastewater Reclamation Facility and Oakey's Reverse-osmosis Water Treatment Plant (Queensland Government EPA, 2006; Psi-Delta, 2010, p. 127). Additionally the mine uses 1370 ML of groundwater per year (Psi-Delta, 2010, p. 127). This non-potable water is used for coal preparation and dust suppression purposes (Queensland Government EPA, 2006, p. 6). There are two coal handling and preparation plants at the mine site where thermal coal of different qualities is blended to meet product specifications. Currently, a train loading facility near Jondaryan provides the mine with access to transportation of coal to both domestic and international customers (New Hope Group, 2012b).

The High Price of a Funky Christmas
By Ben Marks — December 13th, 2011
When it comes to Christmas albums, the top dogs on our Christmas records page are usually The Beatles, which mailed flexi-discs to its fans from 1963 to 1970, and Pearl Jam, which has been pressing 45s and 10-inch vinyl for members of its Ten Club since 1991 (skipping a year in 1994). Elvis Presley's 1957 "Elvis' Christmas Album" is the best selling Christmas album of all time, but 9-million copies sold means it's not especially rare.
But if you're looking for a Christmas album that just about nobody has, check out the private-label, mid-1970s vintage vinyl (shown above) called "Xmas Done Got Funky," performed by Jimmy Jules and the Nuclear Soul System, with Jackie Spencer. Right now (auction ends December 15), the bidding for a copy of this seven-song, 12-inch, 33 1/3 RPM time capsule is pushing $130 (update: $521.12 was the final price), with more than 81 people watching. Last Sunday, a similar copy fetched $738, which is more than than the $597 price paid last summer and about what the LP was going for in 2009 ($715).
As vinyl futures go, this sounds like a rock-solid investment, but is "Xmas Done Got Funky" worth it for the music alone? Here's the title track so you can decide for yourself.

The answer to the mentalist's dreams! Available once again is Nelson's perfect, undetectable means of immediately securing full knowledge of written questions and detail. Spectator simply writes a question, seals it in an ordinary envelope and retains it. At no time does the mentalist so much as touch the writing or sealed envelope. Yet, in a flash, the mentalist has full knowledge of the written data.
Nelson's Phantom Mindreader does the work for you. It truly is a 'Phantom'; as it is never seen by the audience. It delivers the message to the mentalist in seconds in a most natural, unsuspicious manner.
Remember, there are no carbon papers • no switching • no center tears • no handling of the spectator's written question • no funny moves • no stalling • no electronics • no stooges • no assistants • truly a one person effect!
Use it on the street corner, club, parties, for shows, or wherever people gather. A perfect impromptu demonstration for people who pin you down and say "Read my mind!"
This is a behind-the-scenes look at an actual Phantom device from the 1960s, illustrated with color photographs, plans and sources of supply to construct your own. Also included is the actual content from Nelson, including suggested patter.
Are you a Nelson collector? This was Item Number 658 in the Nelson Enterprises catalog . Now you can fill that missing spot in your collection.
1st edition 1961, updated and expanded 2016, 21 pages.
Well, I must say the idea is not new. But materials are really hard to find to make this gimmick. Also describtion is a little misleading. I did not learn anything new as I was already using this on a book test. Also another product so kind of disappointed. So I get nothing new. Also building the gimmick is much of a pain.

"This fast growing manufacturing concern... is the result of the small start made by E. C. Wilcox in 1893. In 1894, B. L. Lawton entered into partnership with Mr. Wilcox... In 1902 the business of the firm had so increased that they were warranted in purchasing the present factory... and on March 1, 1903, were incorporated with a capital stock of $36,000, but which, by another act of the legislature, has since been inceased to $45,000... The high quality of their product, which comprises telephones, telephone switch-boards, and electrical supplies, has placed them in the position of the largest manufacturers of their goods in this section of the country... They make everything in their line from the raw material to the finished product... " [Excerpt from A century of Meriden (1906). See entry below.]

"An apartment house telephone with a pilot light that tells the tenant when the caller has opened the vestibule door is the latest wrinkle in modern communications. It is the product of the Connecticut Telephone & Electric Corp., Meriden, Conn.
The new phone is designed to eliminate the common annoyance and embarrassment which is frequently caused to apartment dwellers when callers 'miss' the door-opening signal. Now, the tenant, upon receiving the caller's signal from the vestibule, clicks the door opener until the pilot light flashes, showing that the caller has opened the entrance door."

"... Connecticut Telephone & Electric Company of Meriden exhibited its new private line radio telephone system equipment at the Eastern States Exposition. Called the Fleetway and is a two-way mobile radio, operated on UHF. The FCC recently allocated a large portion of the UHF frequencies for public use, making it possible for any citizen over 18 years old to obtain a license for the operation of mobile radio equipment.
Among those who can now obtain licenses in the new band are doctors, salesmen, newspaper reporters and photographers, appliance service men, delivery fleets, factories, construction companies, and many others.
Contelco's new Fleetway is built on an exclusive, patented circuit design called the "Lister" circuit. The new circuit makes possible, for the first time in mobile radio, true frequency modulation. The number of components needed are also substantially reduced, resulting in less maintenance and lower up-keep costs." (Excerpt from above.)

Angler Sets New Oklahoma Largemouth Bass Record

It looks like Oklahoma has a new state record largemouth bass, and unlike Arkansas' recent non-record, it appears that this fish was caught legally, by a person with a current fishing license, one he bought before catching the fish…
From this story on Examiner.com: __
_A new Oklahoma state record largemouth bass was caught Friday, March 23, at Cedar Lake in southeast Oklahoma. The fish weighed 14 lbs. 12.3 oz. and was caught by Poteau angler Benny Williams, Jr. while on a camping trip at the 78-acre LeFlore Co. lake.
Williams caught the bass at 11 a.m. on a ¼ oz. Striker King jig. This fish measured 26 inches in length and 22 3/8 inches in girth.
Williams' fish breaks a state record held since 1999 when William Cross caught a 14-lb. 11.52-oz. bass from Broken Bow Lake.
"Catching the state record largemouth bass in Oklahoma is a big deal and catching a fish this large is a big deal," said Barry Bolton, chief of fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "It speaks to the quality of fishing we have in Oklahoma and also to the anglers who get out there and fish for them. We congratulate him on his great catch."
The last two state record largemouth bass as well as several from the state's Top 20 Largemouth Bass List have been caught in the southern and southeast regions of the state. Fish are cold-blooded, so their metabolisms work faster in warmer conditions and they grow more rapidly. Lakes in the southeast region of the state tend to warm up earlier and cool off later in the year than in other regions, which affords these fish a longer growing season._
OK, Okie anglers, anyone ever fished Cedar Lake? I have, once, while down in southeast Oklahoma doing a story on Bigfoot. No, really, I was. Knowing Cedar Lake's reputation as a Bigfoot hotspot, I spent an entire day of my three-day trip roaming the lake's shoreline searching for Bigfoot. I never found him. Apparently he's not attracted to soft plastics and spinnerbaits. I didn't catch a state-record largemouth, either. Of the two, I think I'd take the bass.
