On this day in 1978 the actress Zoe Saldana was born. Saldana has stared in Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, and in Avatar.
And now the news:
Saldana's most well known role was as Neyteri in James Cameron’s Avatar:
Australian Yowie Research Centre director Rex Gilroy
with a cast of his own foot and one of a yowie.
SNARLING, 3m "hairy men" could be sneaking around in bushland near you right now.
Yowie researchers are on their way to the Northern Rivers, citing new evidence that these mysterious creatures are living around Lismore and Casino.
Known as the "Bigfoot of the Bush" or the giant "hairy man", yowie believers say the beings are a primitive, ape-like race dating back at least two million years.
The father of yowie research, Rex "The Yowie Man" Gilroy, will be leading the investigation in Lismore.
Mr Gilroy and his wife, Heather, are directors of the Australian Yowie Research Centre, which they set up in 1976 in an effort to gather evidence of yowies for scientific assessment.
Now they are bringing their work to the Northern Rivers after reports of recent sightings.
Coming with them are a number of cryptozoologists (people who search for animals whose existence has not yet been proven), and they are looking for local input.
"We will be following up a number of new leads," Mr Gilroy said.
We are back home, very tired, but as you can see from these two exclusive images I did my bit giving away the CFZ Bloggo Sub-Editor Lizzy Clancy to her new husband Paul Bitakaramire. I think you will agree that this is a pretty good excuse for having left the blogs in the tender care of Graham for the last few days. Actually, I think he did pretty damn well....

On this day in 1928 Amielia Earhart became the first female to be flown across the Atlantic Ocean when she was a passenger in a plane piloted by Wilmer Stultz. She managed a solo flight four years later in May 1932 and she disappeared in 1937 during an attempted circumnavigation of the globe. Several conspiracy theories have arisen about Earhart's disappearance which you can read about on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart#Theories_on_Earhart.27s_disappearance
And now the news:
A real treat for the 'vaguely related video link' today, this is one of my favourite songs of all time and based partially on Earhart and another female aviation legend who died in mysterious circumstances, Amy Johnson. Flying Sorcery by Al Stewart:
