We also have a new innovative Nogging that will be providing a whole new way of framing as it can be installed after the stud framing is complete.
Our FAST-FIX Nogging® suits any typical Stud application, whether its boxed, back to back or staggered stud. FAST-FIX Nogging® can also be used with DUPLEX® and QUIET STUD® Stud profiles.

Thomas W Dunn also on the Madison County Hall of Heroes…
in the Madison County, Alabama Courthouse.
On January 20th 1970, while serving with the First Marine Division in the Republic of
Vietnam, Staff Sergeant Thomas W. Dunn coordinated a joint unit operation of US Marines
and South Koreans in the search of a tunnel complex that was reported to be occupied by
Viet Cong cadre. Upon locating the enemy tunnel site he observed an enemy solider
entering a cave. He fearlessly approached the cave entrance and demanded the soldier's
surrender. Three enemy soldiers emerged from the cave and were captured by Staff
Sergeant Dunn. Unwilling to risk the lives of his comrades, Staff Sergeant Dunn then
entered the cave alone to search for additional enemy forces. In his search he located vast
quantities of enemy grenades and ammunition, all of which were destroyed by allied
forces. SSGT Dunn, 3rd CIT, continued to distinguish himself by his exemplary
performance of duty which was instrumental in the apprehension of several important
members of the Viet Cong Infrastructure, the
destruction of two major Viet Cong headquarters, and the neutralization of enemy attempts
to control the local populace.
For his heroic actions Thomas W. Dunn was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Valor.

text: Every year we go camping at Raglan. Last Summer I started doing 'a caravan a day' series. I have always wanted to buy an old caravan and "retro-fit" it. One of these days I will.... So.... in the early morning I would pick out my caravan from the camp ground. Then during the day I would find reasons to walk past it... lots and lots of times.... to look at detail and take it in my head back to the tent where I would continue with the painting. I wasn't allowed to go to bed till I had finished the painting. 'Oxfords' were my favourite.... and I wanted to do a 'sprite' but couldn't find one. Oh! The games we play with ourselves!.... But I was so proud of the little colony of caravans that built up in the tent. I wonder how many people on holiday I made paranoid with my staring intently at them and their caravans. I am getting so excited by the coming camping trip!

Points to Highlight When Writing a Good Product Review.
The writing of a good product review aids millions of users worldwide to get value for their money. For the writer, it would benefit their writing skills and increase their affiliation to different marketing companies. Make the sentences in a product review short, simple and straight to the point. Below are pointers to write a good review.
1. Do your research.
Ensure you aquire all the important information on the product. There are many feedback messages on online platforms. The findings will help you have an idea on what to expect from the product. Dig in about the manufacturer, their prices, availability in different areas and how cost friendly it is for the consumer. Ensure you are aware of the demographic population expected to use the product.
2. Get the item.
It's unethical to write a review on something you haven't put to use. Approaching the marketing team of the product you wish to review and pitching the idea is one way of getting the product for free. Ensure your blog has flowing traffic for them to consider it worthy to give off their product for free. If this doesn't work, try and negotiate a fee or simply buy the item.
3. Make use of the item.
Depending on the goods obtained, use it for a specific time before resorting to a rushed conclusion. A rushed conclusion is like using face cream for a night and expecting results. While this may work for a bulb or sound system, some products need time for desired effect. Its wise to use the item as directed to obtain the advertised results.
4. Make a short introduction.
Talk about the manufacturer, the core content of the product or the features. Testing what the manufacturer says about the product is also one reason for reviews. Put out what the manufacturer claims the product will do.
5. Give your honest opinion.
Let your experience with the product be without bias. Let's consider the fact that not everything out here is perfect for use. Write about what good and bad stood out from the products use. As much as you would give platform to the feedback given online, let your opinion take eminience.
6. Compare the product to various brands.
Let your reader know why you would prefer this product over another. Consider that most online shoppers are torn between choices.They make it easier for them to make an informed choice. Show them specifics of the product made you prefer it to the others in the market. It could be as simple as its availability or its ease of use.
7. Epilogue.
In the end, make known to the user how they could obtain the item. Attaching a link to the purchasing site at this point is convenient but one could still leave the manufacturer's number.

Access Transit Bus Storage Facility
The City of Saskatoon's Access Transit Garage has achieved LEED® certification. LEED Certification for new civic buildings supports the Strategic Goal of Environmental Leadership and this achievement aligns with the City's sustainability initiative, in keeping with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan.
The Access Transit Garage, located in an established industrial area of Saskatoon, has a clean bright atmosphere and functional work environment, crucial to meet the City's plans to expand its public transit service. This facility stores Access Transit buses, conventional buses, equipment for bus washing, fueling and fluid dispensing.
A highly energy efficient building, the garage is expected to have 25% less energy costs than the Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB) baseline. The building will also decrease water consumption by 65%. This is accomplished through the following initiatives:
- High efficiency boilers
- Low temperature in-floor heating
- Extensive use of motion sensing lighting to reduce power consumption.
- Rainwater is harvested for use in water closets, irrigation, and washing buses.
- High efficiency lighting fixtures.
During construction, we were able to avoid throwing away materials as much as possible, diverting 70% from the build which was recycled or used in another way. Building materials have a recycled content of at least 18% or more. With all adhesives, sealants, paints, and products with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOC) were used.
The clean, highly functional facility is a crucial part of the City's plans to expand its accessible transit system.
Bio Bus
By implementing new bio-diesel technologies into the fleet, Saskatoon Transit can help the city in achieving its greenhouse gas management goals. By using canola biodiesel, Saskatoon Transit can be environmentally friendly, while reducing overall fuel costs and ultimately saving the taxpayer money.
This means:
- Cost savings through reduced fuel consumption of at least 3% to 10%
- Less engine wear
- Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7.2% with a 5% canola bio-diesel additive.
Current project funding members:
City of Saskatoon
Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SCDC)
Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC)
Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA)
Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA)

KRIS Meeke's maiden WRC victory at Xion Rally Argentina proves Citroën was right to sign the Briton when no other manufacturer would.
That's the view of Citroën Racing Team Principal Yves Matton, who recruited Meeke to the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi team in 2014 after a short-lived deal with MINI left him on the sidelines for two seasons.
"I've known Kris a long time and I'm very happy I took a gamble on him when nobody else was offering him a drive," Matton told wrc.com.
"I always thought he had the speed, the technical skills and that he was a very clever guy. But okay, a few things were missing before he could achieve something great.
"It took some time – we are working together for more than one year now – but I'm very happy to show the people who didn't believe in Kris that my bet paid off."
And Matton believes Meeke's landmark win will advance his development even further.
"For sure it's a big step when you win your first event," he said.
"The process with Kris is not finished and we still have to work together, but you are different in your head when you have won. I feel we are going in the right direction."

No, this fundraiser doesn't raise money by having dogs wash cars. It's all about washing cars and pooches. Many people would be willing to pay to have their car and dog cleaned.
You'll obviously want to plan for a warm and sunny day and advertise by hanging up flyers and posting on social media. Then, set up two stations: one for cars and one for dogs. Have someone be in charge of explaining the prices for each wash and collecting the money from customers.
Make sure that you explain where the funds are going during the car and dog wash and encourage more donations. People will drive off with shiny cars and fresh smelling pups, and you'll raise money for your cause!

Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.
In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.
Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the next player to use them.
The highest scoring window artisan wins!

This week, for the first time in my life, I bought a copy of the Irish Farmers Journal. My eye was drawn to an advertisement in another newspaper noting that this week's edition would have a special supplement on Agricultural Land Prices, broken down by county. Being a sucker for a good data set I bought the journal and examined the results.
The headline figure was that while property/housing continues to lose value in most parts of the country (apart from parts of Dublin), land prices per acre are increasing nationally for the first time in six years. Of course that increase is spatially varied with some counties losing and other counties gaining value at different rates. The map below (Figure 1) shows the national pattern at county level with the largest losses in adjusted price per acre in Louth and Armagh and the largest increases in counties such as Dublin, Meath, Wicklow, Kilkenny and Tipperary.
Figure 1. National Pattern of Agricultural Land Price in 2012 (Source: IFJ, March 9th, 2013)
What was to me more interesting, as a class of spatial data geek, were the lessons one could draw from this data source in terms of spatial data provenance, scale & sampling and the production of time-series data which tells us all something more broadly about how data is produced and that also functions as a simple lesson in critical cartography.
Spatial Data Provenance: The word provenance is taken from the antiques business and refers to the small bits of paperwork (a bill of sale, a letter, an auctioneer's note) that authenticate the object being sold. In many ways this is what we also call metadata, data about data. If we ask the question of this data set what do we find out? Firstly the data is based on sales of all farms or land parcels, 1,218 in total, in the year 2012. The source of the data was from publicly available data (gathered from auctioneers and selling agents who honestly reported the sale values) and contained further information (data variables) on; the size of farm, total sale price, whether sold at public auction, tender or by private treaty, whether residential or non-residential farms and whether finally disposed of under the hammer at auction, or withdrawn for private sale later on. In Kilkenny for example (Figure 2), one can see the county specific statistics summarised in text and (carto)graphical form.
Figure 2. Summary Data on Agricultural Land Sales in Kilkenny in 2012 (Source: IFJ, March 9th, 2013)
What we can see is that Kilkenny had the highest land price in the country after Dublin but that this was based on a specific number of sales, 48 and included 30 farms of less than 40 acres, 16 between 40 and 99 acres and two above 100 acres. The average overall price per acre was €13,203 and was an increase from the previous year of almost 25%. The figure at the bottom of the page noted a 'weighted' average price (a word that should act as a red rag to a bull for critical geographers interested in spatial data). The editor of the supplement, Joanne Fox, provides a very useful summary on page 30 of the report on how that weighted average was produced which was a global figure based on the total value divided by the total number of acres within Kilkenny. This produces a slight variant to the raw average, €13,031, and essentially prioritised the sale of bigger farms.
Scale & Sampling: Of course being a geographer we would like to have access to this data at an individual farm level to perhaps overlay the averages costs against background soil, geology or land use classification layers but sometimes one is grateful for any data one can lay one's hands on. It might also be interesting to know whether the farms the data was based on were suburban, semi- or deep rural? But the presence of some sort of meaningful individual sample, aggregated up to a spatial scale that is readily understandable and easy to interpret, is a valuable step and given the data is collected by a specialist newspaper that shows some understanding of the power and value of spatial information, we should be thankful. What is also useful for geography students and others to understand is that the different proportions of land sold within each county each year, shaped by the number and size of 'sold farms', will naturally affect prices (Figure 3 below). In another year, more sales and variable farm sizes may dramatically affect the average land price and make year on year comparability difficult. But of course that's also the power of multiple statistical data, to iron out that variation and pick out longer term trends. I haven't studied it in depth but it might be interesting to look also at the relationships between agricultural land availability and average price and to perhaps track this back over time.
Figure 3. Comparative Sampling from the Survey, 2012 (Source: IFJ, March 9th, 2013)
Time-Series: Given the Irish Farmers Journal have been publishing this data since 2007 I'm sorry I didn't spot it before. Figures 4a and 4b below compares the national trends for the different years that the survey has been published and confirms that pattern of slow decline, a levelling off and a recent rise. This graphic can also be compared with the patterns for individual counties such as Kilkenny to provide a form of multilevel modelling in spatial terms, within which one can see a very similar pattern, with a small but necessary tweak of the Y-axis and its price range.
Figure 4. Comparative Trends 2007-2012 for a) Ireland and b) Kilkenny (Source: IFJ, March 9th, 2013)
I'm not completely sure what it is I want to say here other than to alert students to be aware of interesting spatial data sets emerging as it were, out of left field. My intent I guess, is also to try and promote a critical attention to the nature of spatial data, where it comes from, how its calculated, how geographically detailed it is, whether its available for different and comparable time-periods and how its reported and interpreted. In a country suffering a long bout of bad economic news, the headline figure for the report tentatively wonders whether this marks the 'Signs of a recovery'. Perhaps this is too narrow or small a data set to draw such conclusions from but it does provide the slightest of glimmers in a dark-for-too-long sky.

Nice simple game, I enjoy playing
I love it! Your best one yet, IMO. And best of all, it was educational.
This was very fun to play!
Great atmosphere & level design. Really enjoyed that ending too :D
One minor thing I noticed was that the camera was a bit slow to follow my character at times. Maybe that was intentional? To me it felt a bit awkward though...
Nice, relaxing walk around a mysterious museum. I enjoyed the voice overs very much, and the little twist at the end. I also managed to fling myself with a physics object, so that was an added bonus.
Very good game and graphic!
Nice one - a relaxing stroll followed by sheer terror :) loved the ending
Dang! Great idea made into an interesting game. I have to agree with the others, great ending!
Great game! Nice idea, great graphics! And the voice acting! x)
I've made a short let's play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBSJi87C-z4 x)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it'll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you're a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn't support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it's an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that's okay. It happens. We're flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like "porting" to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN'T SHOW UP: If you can't find your game, it's usually because the URL to your downloads are missing 'http://'. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it's because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload". This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

Dear Future President,
Think about you and your family. How would you feel if your kids had to struggle to get the money needed for college tuition, or simply just gave up and didn't want to go anymore because of how high the tuition was? This is what many kids go through daily. Some may try to find a job to try to help, but some aren't capable of finding a job as easy as others so they decide to just not go which that should never be an option for anyone. College tuition should be based off of people's income not where they live or the college they want to attend. Everyone should be able to go to college without having financial problems, everyone should be able to continue their dreams at being successful with no problem. The lower the college tuition the more kids that's in college and not out in the streets. Lots of people believe college tuition should be lowered for the better of their kids education.

About Vivienne Westwood
The great dame of British fashion.
With each collection it is clear that Westwood's creativity is unique and a little rebellious. Cutting edge yet classic, she is a true British eccentric whose punk attitude shows no sign of waning. But it is her versatility and ability to reinvent styles that move forward with the times that has allowed her to remain at the forefront of fashion for decades.
Westwood has won British Designer of the Year twice and was awarded an O.B.E. in 1992 — where she chose a see-through blouse and a skirt that displayed her lack of underwear to meet the Queen!
The Vivienne Westwood collection captures her creative spirit and showcases an experimental approach to pattern and cuts. Individuality and style are key words and pieces are ideal for the fashion forward who wish to stand out from the crowd. This season is comprised of Westwood classics in seasonal colours such as the iconic three button collared shirts, crew neck t-shirts and polos all with the famous Orb logo discretely stitched.

You can see some photos of the school here. Darren Jones sent a great update on the Columbia Heights Listserv:
Councilman Jim Graham held a meeting about the Bruce Monroe School property on Tuesday, February 16, 2010. The meeting was well attended. Here is some of what we heard from the people from the Deputy Mayor's Office.Why hasn't the school been torn down?-Demolition was delayed because of asbestos problems.-The Request for Proposal to build a new school closed on November 16, 2009 with no respondents.What happens next?-Demolition of the school should start within the next couple of weeks.-Demolition will be complete by April 30, 2010.-The site will be leveled and a new school may not be built for 3-5 years.-Short-term uses for the property were discussed.-A basketball court and a tennis court may be built of the front of the property (Georgia Avenue side).-A parking lot may be built on the Irving Street side of the property. The parking lot will be used by industrial organizations (hospitals, etc.).What was the community's reaction?-The community seemed to like the idea of a temporary tennis court and basketball court. -The community would also like to see a staffed, temporary structure on the property to provide supervision to kids using the site.-The community was not in favor of a parking lot because of the congestion it would cause on Irving Street, the pollution and hassle it would create in the neighborhood.When is the next meeting?-The next meeting is on Monday, March 8. It will start at 7:00 PM. The meeting place will be announced soon and will be held at a location on/or near Georgia Avenue. It will be hosted by Councilman Graham and the Georgia Avenue Community Development Taskforce. Everyone is welcome to participate to try to finalize the short-term plans for the property and to give your ideas and voice your opinions. The Councilman and Deputy Mayor's Office would also like to hear what you would like to see in a new Bruce Monroe Elementary School.

Congratulations on your recent engagement. I'm sure if you're looking at photographers, you've started to realize planning the perfect wedding can evoke a full-time job as well as the options can be somehow overwhelming. This little system on choosing the perfect wedding photographer for your wedding is foolproof. If you follow it exactly, you will know exactly what you're going to get from your wedding photos. It's applicable to all of budget levels, so have a minute to read it and you'll be a step ahead in at least one aspect of your planning.
This may seem obvious, but competency should be your number one criteria in choosing a wedding event photographer. Everything else is secondary. They can be the nicest person in the world, but if for example the photos aren't very good, https://www.focusphotography.ca who concerns? You're not looking for a friend, you're seeking great photos of one's wedding. But gauging competency is sometimes difficult. The work we all put on our websites and our sample albums is our best product. And, unfortunately, that can sometimes be deceiving.
Imagine if way . go to another person's wedding, in your pajamas, and walk around and examine the work of one's prospective vendors. Might see what the flowers look like after 5 hours, taste the food and cake and https://www.focusphotography.ca watch the dj or band as they engage the crowd – all getting seen. You obtain that option with your photographer. You only need to know ways to ask.
Start your search by gathering names from friends, as well as friends vendors and by searching websites of local wedding first person shooters. Spend some time on websites, read reviews and imagine yourself in the photos you catch sight of. Narrow your search to your 3-5 favorites.
Contact the photographers by email create one simple request: If you have my date available, please show me 2-3 full weddings from the past year, preferably by means of time of day of your wedding. Real wedding is the gallery they acquire for the clients, not just a selection of images in an album or on a website. There should be hundreds of photos in a full gallery. Why email, why not agent them? By nature, photographers have great people skills because a result, many photographers are great salespeople. They will require to meet you before they show you the galleries. They'll say things like, "I'm happy to show you that, no problem, but let's meet and make sure we're compatible before we get compared to that part." That translates into, "Come let me sell you on my services and they might be never even to help get to the pesky full wedding thing." Stick towards guns. Don't skip the initial research. 2-3 full weddings will an individual a great overall picture of their style, coverage and skills.
If the photographer doesn't want display you full galleries, move on. They could very well be hiding something and who wants to that risk? Don't fall for the privacy response ("I'm very considerate of my client's privacy, so I can't show you that.") I've seen that response given to newbies in forums to use when they do not want to have to show their full weddings. You're not asking for www.Focusphotography.ca specific weddings, just 2-3 of the photographer's choice. If they show weddings with their website, then carried out willing to a person full weddings.
After looking through several full wedding galleries of images (don't worry, could possibly move quickly, what you're looking for will be apparent as you go), narrow down your list to 2 or 3 photographers. Phone or email your refined prospects and designed appointments. Pay focus to how quickly they respond. Ask an additional question in cover your jewelry . email and still monitor response moment. This is not to waste their time (don't send a long list of questions), but to gauge whether they'll get back for you on a timely basis. One of the biggest complaints couples have of the vendors after their wedding is un-returned calls or emails. Weight minutes – good photographers are busy people – but you should hear back within the day, unless you are emailing on the weekend, when they could be shooting or this particular precious off weekend. If it's a weekend, a Monday morning response might be more than acceptable.
At the actual meeting, you can start to differentiate by personality and compatibility. Because at this point, you should only be finding people who are extremely talented, shoot the style of photos you like and respond you r in a timely manner. Now, simply pick the person you like the best, who offers albums and packages you like and who fits affordable.
Many photographers are better sale's people than are usually shooters. Research your options and image research, as described above, so you will become a victim of weak photographer's personal necklaces. Digital photography brought a associated with photographers into the business have been lured via the relatively large sums wedding photographers appear to make compared to other types of photography (although it costs a much more to shoot a wedding). But capabilities and the equipment to manage a wedding photography business are very different from a standard portrait or landscape photographer. Another reason to see full weddings is to confirm you will be looking at actual weddings they've shot and besides pretty pictures of choices.

Traveling Down Under? 10 Popular Aussie Foods You Simply Must Try!
Australian cuisine is influenced by our multicultural heritage. One of the best features of being an Aussie is that our favourite foods feature flavours from across the world.
Early settlers originated from England, Greece and Italy. Our nearby Asian neighbours have also influenced our cuisine with delicious flavours that have been brought with them.
Australian Food Culture
Aussies are predominately meat and seafood eaters. Rich soils and fertile farming lands mean that our cattle and sheep are fat. With the differing climates in Australia, we are able to grow an abundance of quality fruit and vegetables.
Surprisingly, we don't have a particular food culture. We have adopted so many flavours and cooking styles that our foods are an eclectic mix of delicious tastes from around the world.
An Aussie BBQ
One thing we do particularly well is barbeque! A typical Aussie BBQ is loaded with meats and seafood, rich with marinades and traditionally cooked by the man in the household.
It's common to see a nice thick fillet steak, juicy lamb cutlets, and pork sausages sizzling together on the hotplate with onions lightly caramelising beside them. Always accompanied by a selection of salads and other sides, a barbeque is a popular style of meal when inviting friends for dinner.
Our BBQs are usually served outside under the stars as the weather is pleasant all year round.
Meat Pies
Known as pie connoisseurs, Aussies love their meat pies and often drive miles to the best bakery for the 'best' meat pie for lunch.
What makes a good meat pie? A good savoury pastry and a selection of meat flavours to choose from. A good pie shop will have a number of choices available, including variations of beef with cheese, onion or mushrooms.
Fish and Chips
There's nothing like enjoying fresh fish and chips by the beach. If you're buying fish & chips – choose freshly battered snapper or mackerel. It really is the best!
Australians are keen fishermen – and women – and given most Aussies live around the coastline and rivers, it stands to reason we love our seafood. Some of the best fish choices include the much sought after barramundi.
Reef fish is popular, so be sure to try red emperor, snapper or coral trout. My favourite estuary fish are whiting and flathead. Atlantic salmon is farmed in Tasmania – its delicate pink colour and firm texture makes salmon one of the most popular fish choices.
Sydney is well-known for its rock oysters. The oysters from Coffin Bay in South Australia are reputed to be some of the best flavoured oysters in the world.
They are mostly served natural or kilpatrick (cooked), but you may see them with many other dressing options. If you're looking for something different, try an Oyster Shooter!
Prawns, sometimes called shrimps in other countries, can be bought fresh from the trawler. There's nothing that beats that 'fresh out of the sea' taste! Delicious as a curry, stir-fry, sandwiches or in salads.
There are two main types of crab caught in Australia, each with differing tastes and textures. Be sure to try the mudcrab, and although the name doesn't sound very appealing, this crab is a feast on its own. Blue swimmers or sand crabs are more often available.
Australia is famous for its southern lobsters. Cooked in a variety of ways, they are a 'must-try' if you have the opportunity. Nothing beats a char grilled lobster with lemon and garlic butter.
Roast Dinners
The best family dinners are roasts! Roast lamb or pork with all the seasonings are the most popular roasts on any family dinner table. Accompanied with crispy roast potatoes, roast pumpkin and a serve of green peas and carrots, they will put a smile on every face around the table.
Tropical Fruits
Tropical fruits are grown in the warmest climates of Australia. You will find mangos, pineapple, dragon fruit, papaya and passionfruit, along with many others.
Anzac Biscuits
A left-over heritage from our lads going to war, ANZAC biscuits are quick to make and remain everyone's favourite. (ANZAC stands for Australian, New Zealand Army Corps). Check out our recipe and whip up a batch of Anzac Biscuits for your friends.
The Infamous Pavlova
The famous Australian Pavlova desert is claimed to have been created after Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballerina who gave a spectacular performance in Western Australia.
It's a simple desert of delicate meringue baked slowly to present a crisp, lightly toasted shell with a soft marshmallow centre and topped with fresh cream and your fruit salad of choice.
Unusual Australian Foods You Must Try While Down Under
Aussies have a few quirky favourites that we try to 'encourage' visitors to taste where possible. Be warned – the vegemite may not be what you think!
- Vegemite – a popular spread to have on your toast for breakfast.
- Cherry Ripes – a delicious cherry coconut chocolate bar.
- Violet Crumbles – honeycomb and chocolate bar.
- Tim Tams – sandwiched chocolate biscuits dipped in chocolate.
Have you tried toast with vegemite for breakfast? What about a mango smoothie… or a Tim Tam? Please share your favourite Aussie cuisine experience!

Income Streams to Explore in 2018. One of the most exciting aspects of blogging is the unlimited income potential. Any seasoned blogger will tell you that diversifying is the best way to create a steady, reliable income.
In order to do that, you'll want to set up several different income streams on your blog. Here are 15 different streams blogs are using to make money in both new and time-tested ways.
Related: Increase Pageviews and Drive Down Promotion Costs
Income Streams to Explore in 2018
- Sell an eBook. Write an eBook that relates to the same topic as some of your highest traffic posts. It doesn't have to be incredibly long, as long as it's genuinely helpful to your readers. You can even write several on different topics to create many income possibilities.
- Sell other digital products. Guides, printables, planners, workbooks are just some of the possibilities for paid digital content.
- Host a paid membership community. If you have several digital products and you add more to your website regularly, consider launching a paid membership program that gives members access to all of your products for one set monthly fee. This is a wonderful way to build a community of highly engaged followers as well as establish a consistent recurring monthly income.
- Offer an online course. Platforms like Teachable and Thinkific make it easy to organize and sell online courses. What can you teach your readers how to do?
- Sell branded gear. Branded tee-shirts, coffee mugs, and other products have never been easier to offer. Amazon Merch and Zazzle are two platforms you can use to design and sell these items.
- Offer your services. You've probably learned many skills as a blogger that other people would pay you for. You can write content, create graphics, or provide other services to other bloggers as another income stream.
- Link to affiliate products and programs. If you're not affiliate marketing, you're missing out on one of the most passive income streams out there! Link to affiliate products in your existing blog posts and on social media where it's allowed.
- Sell display ads. AdSense and ad networks like MediaVine will pay you based on views and clicks from ads placed on your website.
- Host paid events. Workshops, conferences, and other events can take a lot of time to plan, but they can be lucrative and provide a great opportunity to connect with your community on a deep level.
- Curate a subscription box. A monthly or quarterly box of products related to your niche is a great way to establish recurring monthly income and connect with brands.
- Create a useful app. If you can develop a useful app related to your niche or hire a developer to create one, there are several ways to monetize them with paid upgrades and ads.
- Secure sponsorships. Connecting with brands to promote them on your blog and social media remains one of the most lucrative ways for bloggers to monetize.
- Host a web show. A regular show on YouTube or Facebook can generate revenue through ads or sponsorships, or even the sale of your own products.
- Promote yourself as a speaker. Use your blog to market yourself and secure speaking engagements at industry events.
- Sell physical products. Products you make yourself or buy in bulk to ship or dropship can also create an income stream for you.
Have you experimented with any of these income streams? What has been most successful for you?

Your Turn: Screen Play Charter 2010
February 08, 2010
It's customary for me to introduce each new entry to our Your Turn blogging competition, but today I will let Steve Smoothy introduce his own piece...
"Dear Screen Play Voting Members," Steve begins. "While Fairfax Media has terms and conditions for commenting within the myriad of websites they operate, there are also rules (actually they're more like guidelines) which should additionally be followed within the Screen Play community.
"A draft piece of legislation has been created that sets out these rules and requires your review and input before the legislation is officially voted on.
"Please review the Screen Play Charter 2010 below and provide any feedback, comments or amendments on the contents.
"Regards, Steve Smoothy (voting as Smoolander)."
Screen Play Charter 2010
This document details the regulations and tenants for use of Screen Play, including sanctions for any contravention of said regulations and tenants. This document, known as the Screen Play Charter 2010, will henceforth be referenced as the "Charter" in this document. Unlike the laws of physics, the regulations within this document may be changed at any time without consultation of anyone or proof of existence.
Always talk about Screen Play
Screen Play thrives on diversity and the introduction of new readers and contributors to the site. If you read, or contribute to the blog, you should communicate this to other people and encourage them to visit often.
Sanction - if you do not talk about Screen Play, then you will incur one or all of:
- Multiple red rings of death
- Multiple Blu-ray laser failures
- Multiple pointless Wii mini-games
Jason Hill is the sole authority and judiciary for the Screen Play blog and the judiciary's decision on comments and/or contributions is final. The judiciary's authority is equivalent to power wielded by Vito Corleone and disputation of the judiciary's verdict will not be tolerated. Any further reference to Jason Hill within this document will henceforth be referenced as the "Authority".
Sanction - any disputation of the Authority will result in one of:
- Removal from the Screen Play blog
- Comments being moved into the bottomless pit of spam folder
- Visitation from hired Screen Play henchman, including but not limited to Singo "The Dingo" and Anthony "The Gourmet Gamer"
In June 2009 an amendment to this document was passed by the Authority, to introduce another authority within Screen Play. This person, James "DexX" Domingeuz has equivalent powers as the Authority and can be considered the Michael Corleone to the Authority's Vito Corleone. Any further reference to James Domingeuz within this document will henceforth be referenced as the "Authority's Apprentice".
Sanction - disputation of the Authorities Apprentice will result in one of:
- Comments being moved into the bottomless pit of spam folder
- Public ridicule from within the blogging community
- Visitation from the Authorities Apprentice henchman smallfrogge
The Authority's Apprentice has a unique relationship and will sometimes make reference to boyfriend, wife's boyfriend, boyfriend's wife, or any other relationship that exists. Mention of this by the Authority's Apprentice is to generate mirth amongst long time Screen Play readers when newcomers are caught unawares.
Sanction - any ridicule or abuse offered in relation to this section will result in one of:
- Visitation by angry Screen Play regular readers wielding pitchforks of disgust + 2 and torches of indignation
- Visitation from the Authority's Apprentice henchman smallfrogge
Duty of Disclosure
Sponsored Events
The Authority and the Authority's Apprentice will disclose any gifts or assistance provided by corporations to attend gaming events.
Sanction - Intimating any bias or preferential treatment are provided by the Authority and Authorities Apprentice will result in one of:
- Sharp retorts by either of the offended parties
- $5.00 penalty and/or 20 hours of game time on E.T. for the Atari 2600
Discussion Topics
Any topic that is related to gaming in some manner is acceptable to be posted on the Screen Play blog. The Authority has sole discretion over the topics that are posted each day. Refer to section 1.1.2 and 22.214.171.124 for further information.
Regular Topics
This topic must contractually be raised a minimum of once every three months. Additional contributions above and beyond the minimum number are encouraged.
Sanction - failure to include a discussion topic in relation to piracy within the specified timeframe will result in one of:
- A minimum of four articles related to piracy in the next month after the offence; and/or
- Visitation by pirates wielding sharpened copies of PC-DVD and Wii discs
R18+ Adult Games Rating
This topic must contractually be raised a minimum of once every three months. Additional contributions above and beyond the minimum number are encouraged.
Sanction - failure to include a discussion topic in relation to an R18+ rating within the specified timeframe will result in one of:
- A minimum of four articles related to an R18+ rating in the next month after the offence; and/or
- A one hour debate with Michael Atkinson about the introduction of an R18+ games rating where the offending party is unable to provide any arguments or rebuttals.
Reader Submissions
Your Turn
Readers are encouraged to contribute articles to the Authority for the chance of being published in the blog. Refer to section 3.1.1 for details on acceptable topics. Your Turn articles should be written with flair and wit and only provide offence to fictional characters.
Sanction - failure to adhere to this regulation, or section 3.1.1, will result in one of:
- Instant dismissal of submitted article to the same pit that all game copies of Daikatana are buried
- A plethora of off topic discussion in the published article
- 100 hours community service translating the words of Steve Balmer and/or Michael Ephraim into a non marketing jargon format
Conflict of Interest
All comment contributors who have a conflict of interest between the subject matter and a form of employer should declare their conflict of interest before first posting in the topic.
Sanction - Failure to declare conflicts of interest will result in one of:
- The commenter being labelled a "shill" after being identified by the resident "shill" expert, Mr Ak.
- 48 hours community service where the offender must be forced to watch and/or play and/or praise the virtue of the offending employers market competition
- 2 hours singing on any High School Musical karaoke game
death to nerds
No comment from a community member known as "death to nerds" should be taken seriously. All comments are to be considered in jest or read with a sarcastic overtone, unless said comment is preceded by the words: "You must retrieve the Jade Monkey by the next full moon"
Sanction - failure to adhere to this regulation will result in one of:
- Ridicule from "death to nerds" for not understanding the regulation
- Ridicule from "death to nerds" for the amusement of "death to nerds"
- A serious rebuttal from "death to nerds". Please refer to sub section 3.4.2 of the "Charter" for information to determine a serious rebuttal.
Unacceptable trolling
Trolling is the art of submitting comments with the express purpose of inflaming a topic conversation, or another contributor or reader of the blog. Trolling comments that personally attack another member of the community, are racist, sexist, or cruel and demeaning to other members of the Screen Play community or society are not acceptable. Comments that relate to inanimate objects are acceptable provided they meet the criteria as specified under sub section 3.5.2 of the "Charter".
Sanction - failure to adhere to this regulation will incur one or all of:
- Moderation and deletion of any posts that break this regulation
- Banning from the community for a period of time as defined by the "Authority" or "Authority's Apprentice".
- The offender must play and contribute a review of all games published under the "Imagine Babies" titles.
Acceptable trolling
Trolling is the art of submitting comments with the express purpose of inflaming a topic conversation, or another contributor or reader of the blog. Trolling while frowned upon is considered acceptable if it is performed without personally attacking another member of the community, and written with sufficient wit and flair to elicit baited responses without the respondee realising there was a hook.
Sanction - failure to adhere to this regulation will result in one or all of:
- Ridicule from members of the community for the poor effort at producing a trolling post without "wit and flair"
- A retort from another troll of the opposite elemental effect resulting in an escalating process of retorts until one of the following actions occur:
- One participant self combusts in righteous indignation
- Multiple participants self combust in righteous indignation
- Comment banning from either the "Authority" or "Authority's Apprentice"
The moderation of trolling will be regulated in a reduced capacity as per section 3.6 of the "Charter".
Flamewar Fridays
The day of Friday is reserved for end of work drinks, and "Flame War Fridays". A concept that was amended in the "Charter" in 2009 relaxing the regulations set out in section 3.5 of the "Charter". Comments made during this period must be expected to slander one console/format of gaming, company, or form of technology. While comment moderation is relaxed for this period the "Authority" and "Authorities Apprentice" will still review comments as per sub section 3.5.1 of the "Charter".
Sanction - failure to adhere to this regulation will result in one or all off:
- Action taken as per the sanctions i), ii), and iii) under sub section 3.5.1 of the "Charter".
- Your favourite gaming console or computer self combusting resulting from the inability to "flame" successfully.
This "Charter" has been drafted by Smoolander
Copyright 2010
Legal Disclaimer: This document is the property of Fairfax Media. Any offence taken by the reader of this "Charter" should be directed at Rupert Murdoch and his army of lawyers.
- Steve Smoothy
Screen Play readers can submit articles or ideas for consideration in Your Turn and Your Review using the email address firstname.lastname@example.com. The best blog post published on Screen Play between December 1, 2009 and February 26, 2010 as judged by Jason Hill will win a PlayStation 3 console from Sony Computer Entertainment worth $499. The next prize winner will be announced on February 26. Only Australian residents are eligible and the judge's decision is final.

This was hilariously accurate. Though I'm kind of glad, Flamewar Fridays has died down a little in the last year. Too many flashbacks to the Sega wars. So many gamers gone...

I was worried I'd transgressed this rule ("Your Turn articles should... only provide offence to fictional characters.") in my YT piece last week.
But then - I remembered that James Cameron isn't real. (He's played by the same actor as 'dad' in Family Ties. Check the 80's photos.)

Bwahaha, classic! Great work Smoo!

I was going to mention something in a similar vein, however, less eloquently.

Thanks for the nice words members.
Sorry, sort of my own in joke about Murdoch controlling all news everywhere (or wanting to).
@ barry
Do I detect a hint of Borat in that "Nice. Very Nice."
@ Wall
I forgot about the BSoD. Shows how little PC gaming I do now. That would have to be added into the first administrative section, together with something about screen cracking on DS, PSP or various incarnations of the iPod.
@ Joka
No. But I can give you this ball of string, and some pocket lint.
@ Sean Riley
Wins come with nougat now? I like it.

Game gifting also available to some titles on Windows 10
30th September 2017 | Mobile Phone Games | No Comments|
It's not just Xbox One games that can be gifted. Mostly, but not only.
Without making any kind of official announcement, Microsoft has quietly enabled Xbox One game gifting to selected insiders, seemingly in the alpha and beta rings of the Xbox Insider Program. But it's not only on the console that you can send folks your games.
It's also in the Store on Windows 10.

While it's no surprise that LG would include a robot vacuum in its new home appliances lineup, its new Hom-Bot Turbo+ has some intriguing uses. One of them being its ability to help keep an eye on your home.
The little robot can be controlled via smartphone, and LG uses augmented reality tech to help designate certain areas in the house for extra attention from the Hom-Bot. Just tap on the image on the phone and the robot will zoom in and clean up.
It also features what LG calls Triple Eye camera sensors that will record the surrounding area, tracking where it has already cleaned. Via these sensors, you can view a real-time feed of what the little robot views and remotely direct it to clean the house whenever you wish.
If the little bot senses movement, it will take photos and send them to your phone. Of course most of the time it will probably be your pet but it's a nice extra safeguard for peace of mind.
Besides that, the Hom-Bot also has an intelligent software system that helps it avoid obstacles such as the stairs or corners.
The real question is, will it be too intelligent and plot to overthrow its human masters? We're putting our faith that LG has all that sorted out before the Hom-Bot Turbo+ is available in our market from Q2 onwards.

JASON AJEMIAN and THE HIGH LIFE play at the Nach Bar in Germantown tonight. What are they like? Well, check out their site for some free tunes, and this description:
Formed at the Harold Arts Residency in Ohio, Jason Ajemian pulls all of his previous conceptual musics together under a solid roof with the HighLife.
Ajemian creates scores for the band in the architectural drafting program AutoCAD. Titled Motion Maps, these scores guide the musicians through spaces and hallways of musical structures. His blueprints dictate the flow and motion of a musical set, opening the performers up to visual and descriptive influences, while leading them through a diverse musical landscape consisting of Ajemian's orchestrated poems, American folk forms, Native American chants, Canadian sea shanties, Orbison, jazz expressive motion and balladry — all filtered through the creative/improvised process in a unique communication of the moment.
There's a Facebook invite here, too: http://www.facebook.com/events/366962806710107/. Did I mention it's FREE?
