Topic: Busby Island


  
  Information about Busby Family of Cassilis, NSW, Australia
Busby's sons, like many other early pioneers, pushed out in search of new country, and selected Cassilis as promising greater advantages of soil and climate than any other district they had seen, and their selection has since proved to have been a wise one.
Busby's first proposal was to pump water from the swamp at Waterloo to a reservoir at Hyde Park, driving the pump either by steam-engine, a water wheel, or a treadmill propelled by convicts; he favoured the water wheel.
Busby succeeded in grabbing two of the ruffians by the back of the neck and bringing their heads together with such force that one at least was effectively disabled, and the other..hors de combat temporarily.

 Swing State Project: CA-50: Busby and Bilbray Tied   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Among Dems, Busby is doing a terrific job - she holds them at a rate of 92-3.
Busby also steals more votes from Roach & all the other 4/11 candidates than Bilbray does from her (not too surprisingly).
Agree with the comment that Bilbray leading Busby among Hispanic voters is a bit bizarre, especially given his hard-line position on immigration.

 Exxon Valdez oil spill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before retiring to his cabin, Captain Hazelwood instructed his third mate, Gregory Cousins, to "start coming back into the lanes" once the ship was abeam Busby Island Light, some two minutes ahead.
Although Cousins did give the instructions to the helmsman, a relapsed alcoholic, to steer the vessel to the right, the vessel was not turning sharply enough and at 12:04 a.m.
Because there was not enough wave action to mix the dispersant with the oil in the water, their use was discontinued.

 BUSBY, James - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Busby was supplied with a prefabricated small two-roomed cottage, but he had to pay the freight to New Zealand out of his own pocket and buy the covering and lining timber as well as the land on which to build it.
Busby complained that he was “the least protected of any individual possessing property … in New Zealand”, and asked for £250 a year to engage two constables.
Busby went to Sydney to assert the validity of purchases made prior to the Treaty of Waitangi, but he had no case in law, and eventually, instead of some 10,000 acres which he claimed at the Bay of Islands, he was granted 2,090 acres.

Democrat Francine Busby and Republican Brian Bilbray are running hard in a special election in a conservative district north of San Diego to replace former Republican congressman Randy Cunningham, who is now in prison for taking bribes.
A win in the California House race would be a huge first step for Democrats, who have been encouraged by Busby's showing in a district that normally favors Republicans.
Busby later said she misspoke but Bilbray and Republicans said she was encouraging illegal immigrants to help her.

 Swing State Project: CA-50: SUSA Poll Puts Busby at 45   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
What's interesting is that SUSA shows a better peformance by Busby than even her own campaign's poll did.
Bilbray, for instance, had a strong lead in the Busby poll, a narrow lead in the Datamar poll, and a third-place showing in the SUSA poll.
Given the Busby thread here, even if she does not hit the 50% mark in a few weeks, I'm hoping our big Dem Primary for Gov, LG, et al will help her out in June.

The risk of leukemia from depleted uranium ammunition may be 100 times greater than official estimates.
Research by low-level radiation specialist Chris Busby has shown that leukemia deaths after the Chernobyl disaster were 100 times greater than predicted.
The reason (which would apply equally in Iraq) is that forecasts have been based on short-term exposure to intense blasts of radioactive rays rather than on exposure to the long-lived radioactive particles created when uranium shells explode and shatter.

With novices in mind, the yachts are slightly heavier and allow for a greater margin of error than full-out racing boats.
Nine of the crew members are British, and several of them raced the Farr 65s across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain's Canary Islands to St. Lucia over three weeks in October and November.

Set on a fictional West Indian island under British rule, Island in the Sun has all the elements to be a great 1950s soap opera: exotic locations, all-star cast, jealousy, angst-ridden male protagonists, racial tensions, sex, interracial desires, political intrigue, murder.
I saw "Island in the Sun" when it was released in 1957 and bought this video only because it offers one of few opportunties to see the ravishing Dandridge perform during an era when Hollywood had no place for a dramatic Black actress.
