We loved our stay at the Jetz Bungalow! It was the perfect escape for anyone. Our family of 4 with two small kids found it the perfect location with plenty to do without the hustle and bustle of a tourist location. The place was super roomy, huge yard to play in, play ground a short walk from the bungalow with an amazing view of the creek and ocean. The full kitchen was so nice to have and there was even a few essentials like milk, tea, coffee, and other things to help you settle in before you had a chance to go to the market. We loved that there was a Monopoly game and a DVD player to use. There were also books to read, local maps, and brochures of things to do in the area. And if you are explorer geeks like us, there is a beach covered in fossils to explore a mere three minute drive from the bungalow. The pizza place Sandy recommended was awesome and has the best garlic bread I've ever tasted! We are certain that we will be going back and next time, we'll stay longer than the weekend! One thing to note-mobile phone service is patchy at best but we were glad to get away from the usual emails and calls. If you're looking to get away from it all, stay here-you won't be disappointed!
Amber2015-09-07T00:00:00ZWe stop over for a night when we trading on Princess Highway, the host is very kind and helpful. The house is neat and clean, and complete with everything one need to stay
Cheng Seng2015-08-25T00:00:00ZThe house was extremely neat and tidy. It is perfectly located in front of a creek and a beach where you can not only surf but also practice paddle boarding. The family provides boards for free!!!!. Sandy is very nice and helpful. The house has everything for cooking and a BBQ area. There are several beautiful spots around the house. I would definitely recommend this house for a perfect and relaxing holiday.
Angie2016-10-27T00:00:00ZSandy was very welcoming and we could not have asked for a better first Airbnb experience. The accomodation was excellent with the little things like condiments in the pantry, use of a washing machine and board games to play that make a difference to the overall home stay experience. Sandy was a lovely host who guided us to a beautiful walk and offered limes from her tree. 10 out of 10!
Kelly2015-05-30T00:00:00ZThe spot is great. The place is at the edge of the small town and quite secluded, the beach is just round the corner and the kangaroos roam the place in the evenings. The bungalow shares the owner's yard but has is private-enough entrance so you can come and go as you please. The space inside is very big, there is fully equipped indoor kitchen and the outside one as well. For colder evenings there is a gas heater that does it's job (although leaves this characteristic gas-heatery-smell). Sandy and Rob, the hosts, are great - the nicest people ever, very accomodating and always helpful. All in all - this is a great spot for both shorter and longer stays.
Wojciech2015-11-15T00:00:00ZThanks to Sandy we had a wonderful two night stay. Lovely clean bungalow with a beach 2minutes walk away. Great winter get away, would love to visit the area during summer too
Hannah2015-07-29T00:00:00ZVery lovely place and hosts - we had everything we needed and it was in a great, peaceful location but close to the beach. Sandy and Rocky made us feel very welcome and supported us with plenty of local information. I'd be happy to stay there again and would highly recommend.
Mulder2015-02-04T00:00:00ZSandy is a lovely welcoming host. We loved our stay here and will definitely come again. It's a quiet and scenic retreat - perfect for a weekend away to escape the busy-ness of Sydney. Highly recommend Jetz Bungalow.

My daughter and i just enjoyed a 3 night stay in this beautiful house. Everything was immaculate when we arrived. The house is equipped with everything you will ever need. The view was amazing as was the weather and we were even lucky enough to see dolphins swimming past whist eating breakfast. Highly recommended and will definitely be back. Melissa the owner was lovely too and kept in contact with me before our trip.
Helen2016-06-25T00:00:00ZWe has a lovely stay at Mollymook. The house way beautifully decorated, not to mention the gorgeous view of the ocean. We would definitely recommend The Guesthouse to anyone looking for a relaxing break in the Shoalhaven area.
Belinda2016-06-21T00:00:00ZGreat location, super cute little house. Could stare at that view all day!
Angie2016-08-15T00:00:00ZA lovely getaway with a wonderful view. We loved sitting in the afternoon, overlooking the ocean with the sounds of the waves crashing. A great location - 2 minute drive from Mollymook beach. Melissa was very helpful and informative about arrival. We travelled with two two-year toddlers and it was perfect for all of us. We highly recommend it.
Ian2016-10-16T00:00:00ZThe host made us very welcome and the neighbourhood was great.
Neil2016-10-30T00:00:00ZEnjoyed our stay very much!! Wishing it was more than a couple of days! Gaining access to the property was a breeze! The house was clean and tidy, and beautifully furnished. All ammenities were in good working order. Melissa was prompt in responding to our emails or messages. Would definitely stay again if traveling South!
Caitlin2016-08-02T00:00:00ZFantastic location and aspect in Mollymook
Julia2016-07-29T00:00:00ZAmazing location overlooking the water and only a few doors down from Bannisters so within walking distance for lunch at Rick Steins restaurant. Melissa has decorated the place beautifully - it really does live up to its name "The Guesthouse".

Barry2017-02-13T00:00:00ZGreat house, good communication from the host. It was perfect for a surftrip in the area.
Thomas2017-03-12T00:00:00ZMy family (there were 7 of us and a baby) spend 5 days wonderful days at Ragni's home over Christmas. The house is spacious, airy and well designed. The adults could listen to music and chat in the kitchen while the baby slept peacefully in one of the generous sized bedrooms. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the birds and the ocean, which is a short three minute walk away. If you like peace & quiet I would highly recommend staying here.
Joanne2016-01-07T00:00:00ZThe place was really lovely, clean, well equipped (great kitchen!) really warm and cozy. Very beautiful location so close to the water. The hosts are really easy to liaise with and the whole experience was seamless. Highly recommended.
Kelly2015-06-15T00:00:00ZMy friends and I picked this beautiful house to enjoy a weekend away and make a Thanksgiving Feast dinner together. It was very comfortable and we had an absolutely delightful stay. It modern yet comfortable. The location is fantastically close to the surf and the house is wonderfully well equipped, great kitchen, BBQ, outdoor spaces for dining and lounging. Everything was clean and well kept with plenty of little homey touches to make the stay feel like home (like the laundry baskets, and kids art on the walls). Comfortable beds, king, queen, and two sets of bunks. Plenty of pillows, doonas and blankets. Just one bathroom, but nice design so that the bedrooms are slightly separate from the open kitchen / dining / lounge area. Great for kids as well (A rumpus room with Legos and games!) We could have comfortably stayed for a week.
Kat2015-12-12T00:00:00ZThe home is very clean and well-designed. There's lots of space and pleasant touches like current New Scientist magazines, a BBQ, and nice art. The location is wonderful. We would definitely go back.
Thomas2016-02-23T00:00:00ZReally enjoyed our stay, Jo was very helpful and the house was fantastic. It was clean and had everything we needed to have a great stay. The surrounding area was beautiful and we would have no hesitation in recommending this house to others. Thanks!

Everything was just as described in the booking, and the house was better than photographed! The beach was always empty when we went leaving a safe space for my friends and I to enjoy a long day, and the drive to Jervis or Ulladulla was fast and worth it. I would 100% stay here again!
Allie2016-12-23T00:00:00ZAmazing place!! It was a short walk to a quiet beach, it feels like you have to yourselves. A large, welcoming home in a quiet town, perfect for families or friends on a weekend get-away!
Sohraab2017-01-28T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 170 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
WendyFabulous place to stay! The place was huge and had everything you need for a family vacation. The location is amazing, just steps to an isolated beach and the hosts are lovely. We are already planning our next stay!
Alex2017-01-20T00:00:00ZFantastic place. Myself and a large group of friends booked island breeze for a weekend away and had an amazing time. The house is huge and had everything we needed plus more. Such a beautiful location it was the perfect beach getaway. We had no problems with the booking or communication with the hosts and the place is very easy to find. Would definatley stay here again.
Dominique2016-11-15T00:00:00ZGreat house great location and had a blast very close to to beach.
Stephen 2017-01-29T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay here...the place is so clean, very welcoming, so comfortable and well equipped. The surroundings are so peaceful and so close to beaches. Jen and Brian communicate with us so well from beginning to end. And we even received a lovely welcome pack from them. Truly an amazing and enjoyable holiday to all of us. This place is highly recommended and looking forward to go back again.
Maricel2016-10-04T00:00:00ZMy friends and I stayed here over a weekend and we were truly impressed with the house. It comfortably accommodated the 13 of us, including 3 couples. The outdoor area is perfect for relaxing, having breakfast or playing games. My wife and I stayed in the top level. Our bedroom was a converted attic, spacious and lots of natural light. I even spent half a day doing some work thanks to the included working station. Bear in mind this room has no doors and is located in the upper main comunal area, think of a loft. Privacy was no issue since they're was a curtain, but if you don't like noise or natural light coming in, we'd recommend you to sleep in one of the other bedrooms. We found out that Optus nor Amasym carriers had signal there, no internet, calls or SMS. Telstra and Vodafone users seemed to do just fine - this is not Jenn's fault, but be aware of it :) Overall the house was super clean, linen and kitchenware were included and that made travelling there easier. Stay here! You won't regret it.

Lovely unit underneath John's house. Perfect distance to the beach and Bannisters Pavillion/Poor Bar. John greeted us and asked if we had any questions, and then left us to it. Excellent clean unit and fantastic host! Thanks very much John.
Giuliana2016-04-18T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time at the beach flat despite rainy days. It is an easy walk to the beach and very close shops. Tallwood is a great cafe for breakfast though John supplies breakfast things that are a generous touch. The bed is very comfortable and it is a pleasure to lie there and listen to the surf. A good location and we'll set up to enjoy Mollymook.
lynden2015-11-09T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay :)
Tameaka2016-06-24T00:00:00ZJohn was really easy to communicate with and made sure we got into the place ok and if needed anything! The flat was so close to the beach as well as a small strip of shops (walking distance). More than enough room for two people, would book again.
michelle2016-02-25T00:00:00ZLovely place next to the beach, shops and a nice restaurant. John is a fantastic host, so if you're looking for a place for a relaxing holiday, look no further.
Kyle2016-12-26T00:00:00ZA beautiful apartment. John was very helpful before and during the stay. The apartment was very clean and tidy. There was a lovely garden, and a beach view. I absolutely cannot wait to come back down for longer during the summer. Great value, and so close to the beach :)

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at this beautiful little studio. Zoe was a real pleasure to deal with, both in answering our questions and responding to our requests. The studio is in a great location, and the garden is a real bonus! We had a very peaceful, relaxing 3 days, and will certainly look to stay here again when we make future visits to the area. Thank you Zoe!
David2017-02-27T00:00:00ZThis is a great value self-contained studio a short walk from the charming Narrawalle beach. It's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of birds - we had a king parrot come and visit us - and the studio sits at the back of a block surrounded by a rambling garden. Inside there are lots of quirky vintage objects like school microscopes and architectural drawing tools. Cooking facilities are basic - a double electric hotplate, electric kettle and a microwave - but there is also a gas BBQ outside if you need some more space. There is only one sink which is in the bathroom so washing up can be a bit tricky. Having said all that, for the location and atmosphere it's a bargain.
Graeme2016-12-24T00:00:00ZWhat a lovely place to stay for a few nights. Very comfortable with loads of character. Well provisioned and the fruit and packets of nuts left was a nice touch. We enjoyed our very short walk for an early morning swim before tackling breakfast at one of many local and extremely good restaurants. This is a large room and it was nice to be able to spread out.
Jane2017-02-07T00:00:00ZZoe's bungalow by the sea was very welcoming & charming. Attention to detail was apparent, including quality linen, very comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen area eg cooking pots etc and a welcome pack of chocolate, grapes & a mango! The studio is surrounded by a lovely garden & is bigger than it looks in the photos. Location is ideal - nice & quiet and an easy walk to the beach. Zoe and her family were friendly and easy going and exactly as they promised ie interaction is on the guests terms. Thanks for a comfortable and easy stay!
Fiona2017-01-06T00:00:00ZZoe was a great host. Communicated very well and sent us a note before checking in with additional details. The studio was great and had all necessities - she definitely thought about what would make the stay extra special. Provided some fruit and local honey which was a sweet touch. Thanks again zoe! Would definitely recommend this place!
Hydar2017-01-28T00:00:00ZThis studio is a perfect base for a relaxing beach holiday. We enjoyed the apartment so much that we often just stayed in to chill there! There were plenty of books to read and everything you needed for a self contained stay. The hosts were lovely and though they occupied the house at the front, it was very private and separate. Would love to stay again.
Nat2017-01-06T00:00:00ZThis small beach shack was beautiful. It had everything you could possibly need for a nice weekend away by the beach. All we needed to bring was our own food and we were set for the whole weekend! Zoe made it really easy for us to check in and out and even left us a small jar of honey on our arrival. We had an amazing weekend and would stay here again in a heart beat.

Kate2016-11-21T00:00:00ZThank you Tracy for a wonderful few days at your beautiful home! An amazing home in one of our favourite spots to visit. Lovely and new and clean filled with stylish character. A great spot to relax with all the mod cons. Great for families - our kids loved it too! We can't wait to come back!
Katherine2017-01-14T00:00:00ZTracey was an excellent host. She emailed prior to our stay to let us know where the closest shops were. When we arrived the place looked exactly like the photos and it felt like a beach oasis. It had all the amenities and extra including soaps etc. She also provided us with champagne and fresh milk, which was lovely. I would Defintely recommend visiting this place and its also a very short walk to the Beach.
Maria2016-10-09T00:00:00ZCheck-in and check-out instructions were straight-forward and smooth through Airbnb messages.Tracy very quick in replying our queries regarding the house and local areas. Other than been a great host, we highly recommended Tracy's place because: a) Luxury/modern accommodation within rural surrounding b) Easy communication c) Fully equipped d) Ideally located within short drive to many national parks/nature reserves /beautiful beaches/lakes around Manyana and Shoalhaven e) Family and kids friendly f) If you love wildlifes, this is the place - kangaroos easily observed,a lot of species of garden birds and wetland birds
Shahrul Anuar2016-12-25T00:00:00ZAn absolutely beautiful house on the gorgeous south coast. It combines luxury with comfort. The house is wonderfully appointed, in particular the kitchen which is a pleasure to cook in! The gardens are lovely, with a hammock and outdoor lounges to relax in the oasis. The house is spotless, and Tracy has thought of every detail to ensure that your holiday is relaxing. The house is in a great location, and you can walk to the beach. We loved the hot outdoor shower for after the beach. We had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend this beautiful house to others.
Adam2017-01-26T00:00:00ZThis place is fantastic and Tracy was a great host. her communication was top notch. The house was absolutely beautiful and was perfect for the small children we had with us - lots of backyard cricket was played! Highlights were: the comfy beds, coffee machine and outdoor shower!!
Jenna2017-01-24T00:00:00ZWow! What a beautiful house! Absolute luxury, fabulous kitchen,huge comfy beds, wonderful outdoor shower and the best coffee machine ever! Thanks for having us Tracy!
Margaret2017-01-10T00:00:00ZI was pretty excited about this booking just from the photos, but walking in to the house I think I actually squealed in delight! It's even better than it looks in the pics. The open living area is huge, a fabulously designed space especially how it all opens up to the deck and garden - fab for bbq'ing and entertaining whilst not getting under each other's feet. Plus if you're in to beautiful interiors there is plenty of inspiration here, Tracy really has a talent for it. The bedrooms are spacious with gorgeous comfy beds and lovely bed linen. The master bedroom / bathroom suite in particular is fabulous, although worth noting the loo is 'around a corner' rather than behind a door, plus bring an eye mask if you're not an early riser as it gets really bright when the sun pops up. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, including plastic cups etc for beach picnics and a proper coffee machine, jaffle-maker, you name it! Plus olive oil, salt and pepper etc all supplied (plus a lovely chilled bottle of Rose in the fridge on arrival, Yay!). The house is in an awesome location, under 10 mins walk to the beautiful Manyana beach and from there you can walk across to Green Island when the tide is out. Plenty of other great surf breaks nearby too within 10 mins drive of the house. Tracy was suuuuuper responsive from booking and during our stay - which helped as there was no house manual (we struggled working out how to turn the fans on). We arrived a bit early and left late but thankfully she was completely flexible, plus we got to meet each other and just basically Tracy you're the nicest person ever! I cannot recommend this place enough, you will be s(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) happy staying here! Just wish I lived there all the time really. #lifegoals

Bruce2017-02-16T00:00:00ZGreat place! We really enjoyed staying here. Quiet area with a lovely garden and beatiful beaches close by. We saw lots of kangaroos, dolphins and a sting ray all in one day. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and other air bnb users.
Florence2015-05-04T00:00:00ZThe listing was above accurate! The house and property was amazing. It was big and so homey both inside and out. Damian had sent us suggestions where to visit, where to buy groceries, and the best restaurants. He was right on with the sights of the kangaroos! The neighbors were very friendly and the area was so clean. Damian went above and beyond in helping us before we arrived. This was certainly beyond our expectations! Thanks so much.

Angus2015-12-07T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay at Magic Beach. Glenn was an excellent host and provided everything any guest who is new to the Shoalhaven area may require. The house is fantastic and spacious, the kitchen is very modern and has everything required to cook at home, the bathroom is also very modern with a heated towel rack. All the beds are comfortable. Glenn has thought of everything! He has a folder full of advice and brochures and he is readily available via email. There is an abundance of board games, DVDs and movies available for rainy days. The beach is less than 2 minutes walk and the view is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again without question.
Amanda2015-12-26T00:00:00ZYes it was accurate and the photos matched the residence. The property was comfortable, clean with great appliances. A well appointed home with great views. Like staying in my own home, I would highly recommend this property
Brad2016-05-21T00:00:00ZGlen made it so easy to stay here. The place is absolutely awesome. Best location,best view, best entertaining area on top level. We had an awesome stay. Super easy to deal with when arriving and leaving. Just make sure you read the small writing as there is no linen included in the price that's an additional extra! Would definitely stay here again
Jesse-James2016-09-07T00:00:00ZGlenn was very informative and helpful both prior and during our stay, we were glad to have had the opportunity to stay at his lovely property. The neighbourhood is quiet, with million dollar location and views. The property itself has all the mod cons (loved the rollaway blinds/doors and the automatic skylights) and is great for a family getaway. Glenn kindly put up a baby gate and portacot for us, which made our stay a lot more relaxing and enjoyable. The property is also a relatively short drive to Rick Stein's restaurant, which we enjoyed. Bathrooms were bright, renovated and clean. The kids had a great time watching the local birds come to eat the seeds.
Melissa2016-04-17T00:00:00ZReally great spot with some fantastic views. We saw a whale breaching on the first afternoon from where we were seated on the large balcony. Some very cool light filled spaces in the home and Glenn was great. His extensive notes helped heaps. Thanks Glenn!

This was a family holiday with people coming from all parts of east coast Australia and this house had the room and location to meet our needs superbly. The house is a large house with very well appointed bathrooms and kitchen and laundry. The jewel in the crown is the balcony (with a BBQ on) and is a great spot for breakfasts and dinners alike. Ample parking and a 200m stroll until you are walking on sand - very enjoyable and a very quiet easy feel to the whole place.

It was very thoughtful of having some games which definitely kept the children entertained. The location of the house is in a quiet residential and is very close to lake conjola which we enjoyed very much. Thanks for being awesome hosts and will definitely come back in the future!
Jenny2017-01-16T00:00:00ZWe really loved our stay at this place! Everything was easy, close, clean, beautiful nature, cute and comfy house with everything you need. It's a quiet and undeveloped coastal town-perfect for a simple, relaxing holiday away from shopping and with plenty of nature to explore and immerse in. It reminded us of our simple, memorable and fun coastal family holidays as kids-not too much has changed it seems, for this town and we thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing your place Wes and Kristie!
Erika2017-01-06T00:00:00ZGreat location, well equipped and furnished holiday house- definitely will be back. - easy to organise and communicate with Wes. - walking distance to the lake and beach (great for a early sunrise swim) - friendly wallabies all around Highly recommend it for everyone who wants to visit the south coast!
Sai2016-12-31T00:00:00ZThis place is great! Cosy place that still sleeps heaps of people comfortably. Short walk to the beach and all the facilities you'd want in a coast house.
Brett2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThis is a very comfy cottage and so close to the lake! Very impressed by the cleanness and tidiness of the place. And, it has everything in the kitchen! We have 7 people (including 2 children) and had a great time in the house and around the lake. The girls loved the bunk beds!
Kay2017-01-29T00:00:00ZThanks for a great place - very clean and modern decor. Comfortable bed and well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you for your flexibility too with checkin and checkout times. Terrific position, close to shop and lake and beach. Love the kangaroos at our doorstep morning and night. We will be back!
Deborah2017-01-26T00:00:00ZMy family and I enjoyed an extended weekend stay in Lake Conjola. The house was clean, well stocked and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Wes and Kristie were easy to contact, quick to reply and provided very helpful. We absolutely loved how many kangaroos and joeys there were in the area and hope to be back soon!
Martin2017-03-07T00:00:00ZThe place was modern, and clean. Our family had a lot of fun using it!

Ian and Julia were there to meet us, but had contacted me before to let me know how to get in if they were not home. They were quiet and respectful, and gave us privacy, but were also around to answer any questions about the house and the area. The house was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was new and the shower was great! They left shampoo, conditioner and body wash for us to use, as well as tea and coffee supplies.
Ella2016-01-26T00:00:00ZThanks Ian and Julie, a nice comfy bed and all the facilities you need!
Lucy2016-10-20T00:00:00ZOur Airbnb stay with Ian and Julia in Mollymook was our 'first time', and a great way to start - our room was as if it was brand new, so clean and comfortable, along with its adjoining bathroom. Breakfast was more than we had expected, with nothing lacking - even fresh brewed coffee! I would rate Ian and Julia's Airbnb homestay as 10 out of 10. A wonderful experience.
Tom 2016-01-06T00:00:00ZMollymook is a really beautiful part of the world. We loved it. Ian and Julia's house was extremely clean and tidy and the room in which we stayed was equally clean and tidy. They were very helpful and advised us on local sites and eateries. Excellent bathroom. No hesitation in recommending Mollymook, Ian and Julia.
Heather2016-01-20T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our long weekend at Ian and Julia's place at Mollymook. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. With the room and separate bathroom being on the ground floor we had privacy, but at the same time they both made us feel very welcome, were on hand to answer any questions and invited us upstairs for breakfast. The location near Mollymook beach is good too.
Alison2016-09-26T00:00:00ZIan and Julia are fantastic hosts. Their place is very clean and tidy and not too far from the beach. I strongly recommend their place if you want to relax and unwind!!!
Marcus2017-01-23T00:00:00ZLovely spacious room with a big bed, close to Mollymook beach. Great value and friendly hosts :)
James2016-01-23T00:00:00ZIan and Julia's place was so lovely and they were so friendly, helpful and accomodating :) our stay was brief , but we would have loved to stay longer. Was such a great location, 2' to the beach by car and 10' Min walking. They Gave us a very delicious breakfast

What a lovely weekend getaway. This is such a lovely, well appointed place to stay. Ideal for a romantic weekend away, this place provided serenity and the perfect location close to the beach for some well needed R&R. It is extremely clean with modern fixtures. A lovely outdoor area to fine alfresco and enjoy a wine after a day at the beach. Being pet friendly, this place was excellent as our French bulldog had a spacious backyard to play in. We would highly recommend this as a weekend away
Kyle2016-11-20T00:00:00ZThis was our 2nd stay at The Sea Life , we enjoyed Kylie's beautiful house and well equipped kitchen.

DonnaWe love the beautiful indoor and outdoor place. The house is amazing and such a beautiful test. Attention to detail and the highlight is the outdoor bathroom.....WOW
PATRICIA2017-02-26T00:00:00ZThe Sea Life was as lovely and relaxing in reality as it was in the online photos. We had a really great Easter break here. The short walk to the beach, the outdoor bathroom, and the gorgeous back deck were a big hit with the family. The homely touches around the beautiful house were superb. Cannot recommend The Sea Life enough - absolutely wonderful!
Tiffany 2016-04-03T00:00:00ZKylie was an excellent host. The Sea Life is a wonderful venue for a weekend away. We relaxed around the fire pit with a glass of wine on a cool Saturday afternoon, enjoyed the warmth and glow of the internal fireplace, used the external bathroom, the bbq and all facilities. We hadn't been to Manyana before so a long walk on the beach was invigorating. A long bike ride (our bikes) exploring local tracks was great exercise. The Sea Life is a designed for an enjoyable, relaxing weekend. Thanks so much Kylie for allowing us to use your lovely premises. We'd be very happy to stay again on our next trip to Manyana.
Alan2016-09-21T00:00:00ZKylie was great to communicate with prior to our arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed the space that her place had to offer. Comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and so close to a wonderful beach.
Fiona2016-08-24T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed Kylie's beautiful and clean house for our little holiday very much. Kylie responded to all my enquiries quickly. We definitely recommend Kylie's house to everyone.

Geraldine2017-02-15T00:00:00ZGreat little getaway , clean , cozy and peaceful .All aspects true to what was presented .Thankyou Carl for sharing the space , ten out of ten.
Asher2014-07-28T00:00:00ZJust had a short stay with my girlfriend and son at Carl's home at Manyana. What a wonderful place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and completely unwind. Carl was very helpful with directions and advice as soon as he had approved our stay there. All of his instructions were clear and accurate. The listing for his property is also accurate, and there were no unpleasant surprises at any time (but plenty of pleasant ones). The location is great for adults and kids (kids that like to explore, and enjoy seeing wildlife). My son (6 years) had a blast there, and loved seeing the kangaroos out the front and back of the property. We did some fishing on lake Conjola, and caught some small whiting. The fishing looks great, as does the nature walks close by. We drove into Ulladulla one day to get some groceries. This was about 25 mins away, and was a pleasant drive. There is one servo and bottle shop that is in nearby Bendalong for some smaller groceries. You can also get a nice breakfast at Norma's Cafe, which is fairly close by (her egg and bacon rolls are amazing!) We really enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at Carl's property and having a BBQ every night. Overall, we loved our stay at Carl's home in Manyana. Carl was very helpful, and I think we will definitely be going back again, such was the pleasant experience we had there. Thank you Carl!
Paul2016-05-02T00:00:00ZThe host was responsive quickly to our queries, the place was neat and tidy upon arrival.
Joseph2016-04-04T00:00:00ZThis was a really beautiful spot for a getaway - even with endless rain! Without the sunshine and clear skies, we were still able to do some fun bird and kangaroo spotting, cook delicious meals, watch great DVDs, play plenty of fun board games and just relax! Therefore, we could only imagine that Carl's place and Manyana, in all its glory, would be absolutely incredible! Thanks a lot, Carl :)
rebecca2016-07-22T00:00:00ZAwesome stay. It's clean and cosy, the kitchen area is well furnished, the DVD collection got some good values, and 2 surf racks is just right! I would definitely come back :)

Meaghan2017-01-21T00:00:00ZIt was a great stay at Karen's studio, recomended!
Leanne2016-12-26T00:00:00ZKaren was a great host. The studio was well equipped, easy access to the beach and local rooftop bar was fantastic. Also, the bed was very comfortable and linens very fluffy! What a great sleep!
Quercy2016-12-28T00:00:00Zwe stayed at Karen's place with our young baby over new year's. the place was spacious enough for a little boy and his walker, and the location within a few minutes walk of the local shops and beach was perfect. Karen was very thoughtful, putting out toys for the baby, and a small amount of breakfast supplies for our first morning there. would thoroughly recommend Karen's place for a quiet getaway by the beach.
peter2017-01-08T00:00:00ZAn awesome spot for a beach getaway! Karen was a great host, giving us local information on places to go paddle boarding and rainy day options when the weather wasn't looking good. She was generous in organising an early check-in and late check-out so that we could really enjoy our last day. The Sandy Studio was a very clean, nice open space with an amazingly comfortable bed! The warm outdoor shower was a bonus when coming back from a day at the beach. The studio is in a great spot, only a quick and easy 5-10 minute walk to the beach, bakery, take-away shop, cafe and roof-top bar! We would stay again if we're ever back in Mollymook!
Emlyn2017-01-18T00:00:00ZKaren was a fantastic host. Very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.
Champa2017-01-06T00:00:00ZPerfect spot for a couples getaway. We loved it! Walk to the beach, the deli and restaurants. Beautiful spot.

The kitchen is well equipped (fresh herbs even on my arrival), and the bathroom and laundry have everything you could need. Fresh cut flowers throughout the studio made it feel really homely. The location is great, just around the corner from great coffee, takeaway and a restaurant, as well as a short walk to Mollymook beach. Karens place is perfect for a beachside getaway.

Robyn2017-03-10T00:00:00ZKerry was there to meet us when we arrived, braving the pouring rain to show me where everything was in the house, and answering any questions and recommending local places to eat. The house was fully equipped with everything you need, including tea/coffee etc, and Kerry even brought us some fresh milk once we had settled in. The area is beautiful, very peaceful and easy to spot a few local kangaroos. It is a great house for a quiet stay with friends or family. Thanks for helping make our trip a memorable one.
yolanda2014-04-03T00:00:00ZMy partner and I ended up staying in the main house on the property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location, and just a quick bike ride to the beach. We also were accompanied by Kerry's two cats, who made us feel very at home. x

Have you ever seen someone lose cartilage and tissue on their nose, thus changing their appearance? (Photos)
I am waiting to be seen by an ENT but am having major anxiety. I recently noticed that my nostril tissue is very thin and it once was not. My nostril tissue seems to be disappearing and I am also losing the tip, bulbous part, of my nose. I can see that my nostril holes are getting bigger and I am concerned that I am soon not going to have any nose left. I do not do drugs and have never had surgery. have you ever come across anything like this? Thank you in advance.
Doctor Answers 1
Hello! It is very difficult to appreciate changes based on the photos provided. The nose does change with age and growth. If you have concerns I would recommend taking in photos and consulting with an experienced nasal/rhinoplasty surgeon. While there are autoimmune disorders, etc that can impact the skin they are rare without other symptomatology. Good luck!

Description: |
AbstractThe stem cell is a primitive cell that is capable of dividing to reproduce itself and can give rise to a selection of differentiated progeny. Stem cells are thought to be involved in or even main factors in many diseases. In postnatal humans, mesenchymal tissues have the capacity to regenerate from stem cells called mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). It is currently thought that these cells will become the basis of therapy for many diseases. In the present study, a novel in vitro method was developed to examine human bone marrow derived MSC differentiation into osteoblast lineage, and to study the role of MSC in a variety of mesenchymal diseases. The ability of MSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts was investigated during aging. In addition, the interindividual variability in the osteogenesis of MSCs and in the osteoblastic response of MSC to estrogen and testosterone was studied. Furthermore, an ex vivo model using a human aortic valve microenvironment was developed to explore whether the extracellular matrix influences the osteoblastic differentiation of the MSC. Finally, the role of MSC in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) related congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) was studied. It was found that after menopause the osteogenic potential of MSCs does not decrease. It was also found that estrogen receptor (ER) alpha genotype confers interindividual variability of response to estrogen and testosterone in MSC derived osteoblasts. In addition, it was found that the non-calcified valves with living valve cells inhibited osteogenesis of co-cultured MSCs, whereas the calcified and devitalised valves promoted differentiation towards an osteoblastic lineage. Finally, MSCs from NF1-related pseudarthrosis showed altered NF1 gene expression, poor osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation. In conclusion, MSC can be easily isolated from the bone marrow and MSC has the capacity to regenerate tissue even at later stages of life. These results could help explain the contradictory effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) on osteoblasts in vitro and might also provide new insights into understanding the differences in responses to hormone replacement therapy. It seems that adult stem cells from bone marrow undergo milieu-dependent differentiation to express phenotypes that are similar to cells in the local microenvironment. Finally, the NF1 gene was shown to have a role in bone development and remodelling. see all

On Tuesday we revel in the pleasures of the Danes Loop. The lap starts and finishes along Kingsmark Lene by Park View. So we set off down the Lane, turn left down Huntfield and back up Kingsmark Avenue. But what we don't do is stop at the top of the Avenue. Oh no! We carry on pushing along the lane right back to the finish opposite Park View. You'll find that the coach will be lurking at the top of the Avenue with our new cattle prod to encourage you to keep going.
On Thursday it's down to the Severn Bridge for the monthly 5k Time Trial. Can you beat your last time?
We're looking for two helpers please. Either on the turn-round which gives you the opportunity of doing the 5k run, albeit in 2 two-and-a-half k parts, or taking names/times at the finish. Please write your name in the Comments box below, or contact Dick direct.
On Saturday the Elan Valley 10 mile race up in the top of the region is the East Wales Road Champs for 2016. Medals for all age groups. A lovely scenic, quiet-laned course starting by the mighty dam.
And finally, on Sunday the second Leisure Centre League cross-country race in the hills behind Pontypool. Based near Pentwyn there is very little parking space, so we've been advised to share cars. The race starts at 11, so watch for the Captains' notice about meeting times at the LC.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
One question I heard time and time again during my week back home: So what do you cover now that the Yankees season is over?
My answer: The Yankees.
After an incredible week and an absolutely perfect wedding, I'm spending the day driving up to St. Louis and flying down to Orlando for the general managers' meetings.
Predictably, the past few weeks have been slow, but the GM meetings serve as a kind of unofficial beginning to baseball's offseason. I wouldn't get too excited for huge news — save that sort of buzz for next month's winter meetings — but there will be a lot of decision makers in the same building, so there is certainly the potential for signings and trades. And changes to baseball's offseason schedule have opened the door for more activity than in past years.
Last night, Sam gave a good explanation of the GM meetings. Our friend Ken Davidoff did the same over at Newsday. There will be a lot of official talk about rules and the collective-bargaining agreement, and there will be unofficial whispers about free agents and trade targets.

Berlusconi Says He's Powerless to Topple Letta After Split
Tommaso Ebhardt and Andrew FryeFormer Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said he's powerless to topple Enrico Letta's coalition government after Deputy Prime Minister Angelino Alfano left the PDL party to form a group supporting the cabinet.
"We are not anymore in a position to push down the government," Berlusconi said at a meeting of his People of Liberty party in Rome after Alfano decided last night not to follow him into a new group called Forza Italia.
The speech split the PDL, the second-biggest group in Letta's parliamentary alliance, as its members voted to dissolve the party and join Berlusconi in Forza Italia.
Berlusconi, 77, is renewing his challenge as legal troubles place his political career in jeopardy. The loss of Berlusconi's backing won't necessarily unseat the government as Letta, 47, may have enough votes from dissident PDL lawmakers to retain a majority in the fractious Senate.
Alfano said in a separate televised press conference in Rome that he formed the group, which he called "new center-right," to avoid an election. All PDL ministers have joined his alliance, he said.
"The number of moderate MPs in the PDL is enough to guarantee the Senate's math for its survival," Chiara Corsa, an economist with UniCredit SpA in Milan, said yesterday in a research report. "Healthy long-term generational shift in Italian politics is under way, but the next few months are likely to deliver noise and uncertainty."
Waning Influence
Berlusconi's influence in Italian politics has been in decline since April, when he helped bring Letta to power at the head of a makeshift three-party coalition. Criminal convictions and a push in the Senate to expel him have sapped Berlusconi's clout. In October, Berlusconi's first attempt to topple the government failed when a portion of the PDL, led by Alfano, defied him and backed Letta.
"How can we stay at the same cabinet meeting with someone how wants to kill you politically?" Berlusconi said today.
Letta's Democratic Party, the biggest group in the coalition, has said it will support Berlusconi's expulsion in a Nov. 27 vote in the upper house.
The rift with Letta came as the premier refused to help shield Berlusconi from his court-mandated punishment. Berlusconi's tax fraud conviction, which was rendered definitive by the Supreme Court in August, ran him afoul of a 2012 anti-corruption law and required the Senate to consider his ouster.
Berlusconi said today Europe should abandon austerity policies and "change the mission" of the European Central Bank.
"The euro is for us a foreign currency," Berlusconi said. "The ECB should become a last resort lender, grant the debt of the euro-countries and build a wall of banknotes against the economic crisis."

"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
Im thankful and shocked that my job shadowing has lead me to another amazing opportunity. Palazio Gentlemens Club has shown me and other women how we should be respected, treated and cared for and not to settle for less. The owner, management and staff have all been caring and wonderful to work with. The Farrah Abraham strip club was just as excited to work with her. It benefits everybody, BeBe Montgomery, manager of the Palazio, told Radar. Its really fun. I hired Farrah as a waitress about a month ago and then we talked about it. She decided to switch to dancing. And then we talked again and came to an agreement for six figures. Were really happy and excited. According to the report, the Farrah Abraham Strip http://www.farrahabrahamsextapes.net/ Club Celebrity House Feature began on August 22 and runs through the end of this month.

Bromopride (INN) is a dopamine antagonist with prokinetic properties widely used as an antiemetic, closely related to metoclopramide. It is not available in the United States.
Bromopride appears to be safe and effective for use in pregnancy.[1]
Bromopride is indicated in the treatment of nausea and vomiting, including postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV); gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD); and as preparation for endoscopy and radiographic studies of the gastrointestinal tract. The manufacturer also claims it is valuable in, among other indications, hiccups and gastrointestinal adverse effects of radiation therapy.
Adverse effects[edit]
Bromopride is generally well tolerated; the most common adverse effects of its use are somnolence and fatigue. Bromopride may rarely cause extrapyramidal symptoms and, as with metoclopramide, may increase prolactin levels.[2]
Bromopride is a substituted benzamide, closely related to metoclopramide.[3] It is identical to metoclopramide except for the presence of a bromine atom where metoclopramide has a chlorine substituent.
Bromopride is not available in the United States or the United Kingdom. It is marketed in Brazil by Sanofi-Synthélabo under the trade name 'Digesan, by LIBBS under the name Plamet, and as a generic drug.

Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have united to urge on David Cameron to agree to participate in televised debates ahead of the general election.
In an unusual alliance, the Labour, Liberal Democrat and Ukip leaders have sent identical letters to the Prime Minister warning that it would be "unacceptable" for him to block the debates.
They are demanding Mr Cameron be "empty chaired" by broadcasters if he does not join give ground ahead of the 7 May 2015 election.
Mr Cameron has already stipulated he would not participate unless the Green Party was included alongside Ukip in the encounters.
The letters claimed the debates were watched by more than 20 million people during the 2010 election campaigns and "enthusiastically endorsed by all those who took part, including yourself".
The letter reads: "In recent days, you have announced that you are unwilling to take part in debates as proposed by the main broadcasters for the 2015 General Election," the missives added.
"I believe it would be a major setback to our democratic processes if these debates were not repeated in 2015 because of one politician's unwillingness to participate.
"I hope you will agree that the decision as to who should take part in the televised debates should not be in the hands of any party leader, each of whom inevitably has their own political interests to defend. It must be a decision independently and objectively arrived at."
The leaders insisted the broadcasters were under strict obligations of political impartiality and had made an "objective determination" about who should participate.
"While each of the other parties invited to take part in the debates has their own views on the proposal and the levels of participation offered and will continue to make their case in this regard, we all accept the independence and impartiality of the broadcasters and have committed to take part in the debates," the letters added.
"It would be unacceptable if the political self-interest of one party leader were to deny the public the opportunity to see their leaders debate in public.
"Therefore, if you are unwilling to reconsider, the three party leaders who have committed to participate will ask the broadcasters to press ahead with the debates and provide an empty podium should you have a last minute change of heart.
"These debates are not the property of the politicians and I do not believe the public will accept lightly the prospect of any politician seeking to block them."

According to a report from Digitimes, Apple supplier AU Optronics has managed to improve its poor iPad mini display yields, finally leading to increased availability of the current iPad mini and a solid infrastructure for the production of displays for the next generation mini. The iPad mini has been in short supply since its release in October 2012, after some models sold out just minutes after pre-orders began. Reports cited display production as the limiting factor, which led to ship times of up to two weeks. Just today, we reported that Apple managed to reach supply-demand balance on the iPad mini. The tablet is now listed as "in stock" for immediate shipment from several online Apple Stores, which confirms the display yield improvements. Digitimes is also reporting that AU Optronics has begun production of displays for the second generation iPad mini. Rumors have suggested that the next iPad mini will be equipped with a Retina display, and a report from November stated that AU Optronics was gearing up for production. Retina is widely believed to be the next logical step for the iPad mini, and while there are no concrete hints on when an updated mini will be released, KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently predicted that both the iPad mini and the full sized iPad will be updated in the third quarter of 2013. Article Link: AU Optronics Catches Up with iPad Mini Display Production, Begins Working on Displays for Next Generation Model
Yeah, I'll definitely be tempted.... but it's hard to rationalize when I already have a retina iPad... I guess I could sell it. It would be about an even swap.
I absolutely love the size and weight of the iPad Mini. I think it's damn near perfect and if it gets a retina display (which seems 99.9%) likely, I will definitely be selling off my iPad 3rd gen for one. Though, I could very well be conflicted if the iPad 5th gen gets redesigned, slims down, and loses some weight. It'd be a tough choice!
Sucks if it's not till Q3. ---------- I have a iPad Retina. I prefer the mini over it that my friend has.
The source is Digitimes. They report hundreds of plausible things, some based on things we know from other sources already (adding nothing) and some of which by luck turn out to be true. Few people bother to note all the times they're wrong, but their track record is poor. I'm sure Digitimes loves the attention, but disregard this as pure speculation. Not a real "source." As for retina, all of the following must be solved first: * Bigger battery to drive that power-hungry display (remember: the iPad 4 is thicker and heavier than the iPad 2 for this reason!) * Bigger battery to drive the powerful CPU and GPU needed to drive all those pixels. * Making that extra-powerful battery happen without the device being thicker and heavier * Fitting the thicker retina display in the same thin case... so maybe the battery has to be... smaller? * Achieving high enough yields of the new display--and being confident of those yields (why make a better iPad if that means selling fewer?) Those will be solved... but soon? I'm doubtful. Sounds like 2014 to me.
I wish it was: Apple managed to improve its poor iPad mini display How can a company have a hard time making lo res fuzz screen like that? Great job Apple, finding some quality partners in the post-Samsung world
I love my Mini, it's absolutely perfect, but as soon as a Retina model comes out i'm throwing this horrible POS out the window - Macrumors readers
I'm eager to dump my mini. The screen is next to impossible to adjust to. Especially since the iPhone 5, iPad 4, and 15" MBPr I have are all retina models.
The ipad mini display really isnt that bad. You know I was pissed off at the fact that it wasnt equipped with retina. I was totally against buying an ipad mini. But I have one now. And I love it. It is the same as my ipad 2 was. When I compare it to my mom's ipad mini. There is a difference but its not bad. On top of that I wasnt waiting til october to buy an ipad mini.
I was parodying the members over in the iPad sub-forum. Posts like that arn't that much of a stretch.
So are you basically repeating the same stuff that was said about the iPad 3 and how no way it could be retina because of those same reasons and we wouldn't see it till iPad 4?
Retina display is no longer an argument in favor of apple, any Chinese or Korean manufacturers propose a smartphone or tablet with a resolution of 720p and more (check products of cube, oppo, huawei, Xiaomi, onda , hTC, LG, UMi, JiaYu etc ...). Apple should instead focus its attention on a fundamental change for its mobile OS, Android , today, has nothing to envy, it's rather the opposite ...
Since the rumors are showing that the iPad with retina display will be adopting an iPad mini like design, it wouldn't surprise me that they've figured out a way to overcome these problems for the iPad mini as well.

Rough notes from a Richard Wagamese Workshop. Thunder Bay. May 9, 2015
Richard Wagamese – workshop, Saturday, May 9, 2015 – rough notes.
Held at MJB library, with about 30 participants
Wagamese said he read a lot and copied copiously from the books whenever he found a section he liked. He copied into a big notebook
by hand. He tried to find out the titles of good books and took down the names in a small
spiral notebook that he carried everywhere. He stayed up late copying.
He has no degree in writing and never attended a writing
course. He did not finish high school. A homeless youth, he found the public
library a blessing where he could read at a carrel and was never disturbed. He
went every day to read and copy. He could not take the books out because he
had no library card.
"To write – go to the energy." He compares the spontaneity of children,
their energy and their "guess what happened" and the key word, the answer, "what?"
When you say "what" you are agreeing to a story. Children pour the tale out unselfconsciously, usually in one long sentence with and, so and but to keep
the thing going. "What" is the magic word, the key to the story.
The child just strings words together. She can't stop
talking. The child ponders, wonders, questions.
Wagamese works with oral stories. He never rewrites. The
oral gets you away from the concept of failing, bad negative thoughts about
writing, judgment rules.
"You have to be out of your head to be a writer, that is out
of the judging brain. You must go by heart and emotion." He has his students do
oral story telling for two days.
At this point, we did a exercise by writing down ten words
and making sentences of out neighbours first three. Then the first five. We
also took a key word, circled it and crated other words radiating from it like
a sun. Then made a sentence using all the words.
"As soon as you stop and think, stop. Writing should not be
a struggle."
Wagamese writes four
or five hours in the morning but if he stops to think he stops. He goes to
another activity such as breathing, stretching. Later he fixes the stuff up but
he may decide to leave it alone. Later, taking these ideas and blowing them up
gives you a feeling of energy. He makes word maps (see sun above).
He is insistent that the more you practice the better you
become at attaining this spontaneity. He seldom revises. You want your language
to be unfiltered, open and flowing. "Open the lens of understanding. See life
with a wide child-like lens."
If he has an idea for a novel he tells the story by speaking
it out loud to his dog on walks. He does this for 6 weeks, over and over. As he
is speaking, his logical brain is organizing, his abstract brain is creating
and his psychological brain is pushing the enemy (self doubt) out.
He believes story telling is spiritual. Speaking out loud is
better than silent thought. He discovered the title, Quality of Light, by speaking out loud on a walk
when he saw mist on the river. Through oral story telling we can write without
He believes we all come from an oral tradition. He says once
we all sat around a fire and listened to stories. We are geared to out loud. We are geared to story
telling. Every time we ask a question, we are asking for a story.
When he is writing his characters take over. They start to
dictate the story.
Tell your story of bad things that happened. He wrote about
being homeless in Miami and later he remembers that Muhammad Ali gave him a
meal. Patted him on the head. He was fifteen but before he wrote that down he
had just remembered his sad plight and had forgotten the boxer. So write the sad
things and look for the light.
When you tell a story, certain steps occur. 1. Telling–
the energy of telling sparks 2. listening gives it energy. 3. hearing which is different than
listening because it has emotional, mental, spiritual or physical reactions
connected to it and so in turn 4. You are incorporating
the story which gives energy to 5. Tell it again to someone you know and
so a circle from tell to tell.
Richard Wagamese, author of Indian Horse, dead at 61
Award-winning author and journalist Richard Wagamese, an Ojibway from the Wabaseemoong First Nation in northwestern Ontario whose work was deeply influenced by Indigenous experiences in Canada's residential school system, has died.
Wagamese, 61, called himself a second-generation survivor of the government-sponsored schools, attended by his parents and extended family members.
In many of his 13 titles from major Canadian publishers, he drew from his own struggle with family dysfunction that he attributed to the isolating church-run schools.
One of his many novels, Indian Horse, was a finalist in CBC's Canada Reads in 2013, bringing it to wider attention. It also was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.
It tells the story of the intergenerational trauma that played out in the lives of those who attended residential schools in the 1960s and '70s. It's the story of Saul Indian Horse, a boy who finds release through his passion for hockey.
Two years after its release, in 2014, he spoke to Carol Off, host of CBC Radio's As It Happens, about the psychological impact of being separated from family and how the trauma is passed on to the next generation.
"The nature of their experience, their common experience in residential schools, really robbed them of their tribal and cultural ability to be nurturing and to be loving parents," Wagamese said.
"They had suffered the scrapes and woundings of their souls and their spirits that was not readily healable. And when we were born as children, we were subjected to the neglect and the pain that that generation had suffered, so intergenerationally, residential schools infiltrated my generation in my family, and that's true across the country."
The film Indian Horse, adapted from the book, is currently in production, directed by Dennis Foon (Life, Above All, Double Happiness).
Father-son themes
Wagamese's 2014 novel Medicine Walk also addresses efforts to preserve culture and heal a divided family — as a teenage son and dying father who barely know each other embark on a journey through the backcountry of the B.C. Interior so that the father can be buried according to Ojibway custom.
After its release, the author, who lived in Kamloops, B.C., spoke to friend and CBC host Shelagh Rogers about Medicine Walk on B.C.'s Gabriola Island, where she lives.

Duncan Weller's latest - for young people "Flight of the Silk"
Flight of the Silk. I'm planning a book launch at my gallery (barely opened yet) at 118 Cumberland. Maybe just as school ends. It's a middle reader, ages 9 and up, with just over a hundred illustrations. Check here for news of the launch. And also news of the new gallery.
Young Adult Novel by Donna White.
My new young adult novel, Bullets, Blood and Stones: the journey of a child soldier, has just been released in December. The book is available at Chapters, Coles, Gallery 33 and The Book Shelf, here in Thunder Bay. It is also available on Amazon.ca. People can get more info from my website: wwwdonnawhitebooks.com . The blurb on the back of my book reads: The first rule for survival when you're a child soldier carrying an AK-47 is kill or be killed. But after you look at the blood of your first victim, you realize two things, one, you hate yourself. And two, there is no turning back.

The Right to be Cold, a hot Item in Thunder Bay
The books were flying off the Chapters Table at Waverley library as the large audience lined up to buy 'The Right to be Cold" by environmental activist, Shelia Watt-Cloutier. The book is on the short list for Canada Reads.
The author was introduced by Cathy Alex who talked about her own adventures in the arctic. Watt-Cloutier discussed her childhood growing up in the arctic living a traditional Inuit life until she was sent down south to school at an early age. She outlined the problems faced by the northern peoples caused by global warming and her work with various organizations including the UN to press the message that global warming is a human rights issue for the people who live there. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize for her work She noted that climate change does not only affect the animals of the north but also the people who live there. For many years the local people have noticed the changes caused by global warming: the thinning of the ice, the changes in marine animals, the arrival of new species.

Thunder Bay Library Interview with author Michelle Krys
Michelle Krys is the author of Dead Girls Society,Hexed, and Charmed. When she's not writing books for teens, she moonlights as a NICU nurse. She lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, with her family. You can visit her online at michellekrys.com.
Shauna Kosoris: What inspired you to write your newest book, Dead Girls Society?
Michelle Krys: Ideas rarely come to me organically. I often have to go after them with a club, which is what happened in this case. I knew I wanted to write a book with the mystery and intrigue of Pretty Little Liars, but with a fun competition element à la Panicby Lauren Oliver, so I sat down and brainstormed ideas until I landed on something I liked. Not very romantic, but if I waited around for ideas to strike me I would probably write a book a decade.
Hope, your heroine with cystic fibrosis from Dead Girls Society, seems very different from Indigo, the cheerleader heroine of your first series. Where did you get the ideas for these very different characters?
Indigo's personality is one of the first things I knew about Hexed. I wanted to subvert the gothic witch stereotype, and having the protagonist be a popular, sarcastic cheerleader felt like the natural first step.
With Dead Girls Society, I really wanted to explore what it would be like to be a normal teenager in a lot of ways, experiencing all the normal teenager things, like love and angst and a desire to push boundaries and rebel, while also living with an incurable illness that really limits your experiences.
Dead Girls Society takes place in New Orleans, while Hexed is in LA. What's the appeal of using big American cities for your novel settings?
I mentioned that one of my goals with Hexed was to subvert the gothic witch stereotype. Besides making the protagonist a popular cheerleader, I thought it would be fun to use a setting that most readers wouldn't normally associate with witchcraft. Sunny L.A. seemed like a great fit for that. As for Dead Girls Society, I got the idea for the setting while roaming the French Quarter in New Orleans while attending a writing festival. I just fell in love with the rich, vibrant culture of the city.
You wrote your first book while on maternity leave. Was it difficult fitting in writing during that time?
Not at all! My son slept 12 hours through the night and took 3-4 hour naps during the day. His incredible sleeping habits are actually what prompted me to try my hand at writing. I found myself with all this free time, and I figured there would be no better opportunity to write that book I'd always been thinking about.

Memoir by Carl Goodwin. Growing Up in a Company Town.
Memories of the Coal
by Carl Goodwin
Post world war, 1950's. At age ten, I'm living in a small
mid-sized port midway along the north shore of Lake Erie in Southern Ontario.
Our community is comparatively small, perhaps a thousand in winter and a summer
population of about two thousand if one counts visitors who arrive from the
city to "cottage" and swim in the lake.
Creek flows through the village. The creek is dredged to remove silt that has
been washed down from the farmland upstream. Dredging allows access for large lake
freighters that come to offload massive tonnages of coal shipped across the
lake from Ohio. Large piles of coal are dumped on both sides of the creek along
the docks.
Some of the
coal is destined for homes but most of it is taken to industries and
hospitals in cities to the north, We live
alongside the east dock, four houses up the street from where the bulk of the
coal is offloaded and stockpiled pending sale. The coal is graded and screened
before being trucked out through the village. My uncle is superintendent on the
east dock and has worked his way up through the ranks of the coal company. For
profit to be made, the coal must be reloaded and trucked to waiting customers
as quickly as possible.
Strongly anti-union, my uncle
decides which drivers get what loads. A "good" load is one that is a short trip
to places that have good turnaround areas. A "bad" load is a load that must be
trucked a greater distance sometimes over snow-clogged country roads in winter
and muddy pot-holed roads in spring time.
The trucks
are loaded using cranes and, as the coal is dropped into the trucks, large
clouds of coal dust drift in off the lake. Fine and penetrating, the dust
vibrates from the trucks and onto the street in front of our house.

Good-bye Stuart McLean
Good-bye great story-teller. Your wonderful stories will be missed. Your humour and compassion will be missed. You told us about every day people and made us laugh and we still laugh when we think of that Christmas turkey. It's good-bye to Dave and Morley too. Good-bye to all your characters and to the Vinyl Cafe itself. It's been a blast. Just wish you could have stayed around longer. Rest in peace, radio friend.
Stuart McLean, bestselling author, humorist and host of CBC Radio's The Vinyl Cafe, died on February 15 at the age of 68, just over a year after his skin cancer diagnosis. McLean suspended his radio show in December 2016 to focus on cancer treatment.
For 40 years, McLean told stories on the radio. He began his career making documentaries for CBC Radio's Sunday Morning. In 1979, he won an ACTRA award for his work on a documentary about the Jonestown massacre.

Fantastic News
Letter from John Pateman, CEO Thunder Bay Public Library to the Chronicle Journal
Further to the piece on Sheila Burnford (CJ, Feb. 5) your readers may be interested to learn that Thunder Bay Public Library (TBPL) is working in partnership with Lakehead University to bring the Sheila Burnford collection to Thunder Bay. LU is liaising with the Burnford family to acquire Sheila's personal archive which includes manuscripts and the typewriter which she wrote her famous books on. The aim is to establish a Sheila Burnford Study Room at TBPL which will complement our local history and genealogy collections.
Sheila Burnford is a literary figure of local, provincial, national and international significance and bringing her collection to Thunder Bay will help to boost tourism and the local economy. This will be a community-led and -driven project and we will aim to engage and involve as many individuals and organizations in the community as possible. There will be the potential for many spinoff projects encompassing the performing and visual arts, young people and First Nations communities. We will keep the CJ updated on news of this exciting project.

As soon as the zucchini starts growing in my garden it I start adding it to everything. From zucchini noodles to this Zucchini Bread Oatmeal.
The rain has finally stopped and the sun is shining. That means the zucchini will be growing exponentially over the next couple days. I like to pick them when they are small, tender and manageable – apparently so do the squirrels.
An easy way to bring some fresh vegetables into your morning routine is to grate some into your oatmeal. It adds a little bit of texture to your bowl and mimics the taste of zucchini bread! When you're done making this, you can pop over and make my whole wheat zucchini walnut bread!
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup grated zucchini (I like the texture of a medium grate.)
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- chopped walnuts, to top
- 2 tbsp packed brown sugar, to top
- drizzle of maple syrup, optional
- In a small pot, add milk/water, cinnamon and oats. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat, stirring a few times ~ 3 min.
- Add in the chia seeds and grated zucchini. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally about 4 min until desired texture is reached.
- When cooked, remove from heat and stir in vanilla and brown sugar. Top with chopped walnuts, sliced bananas and perhaps a drizzle of maple syrup.

"Clemson is my favorite. I also like Georgia, Troy State, Miami and Auburn. I've talked to Clemson, Georgia, Alabama and Troy so far," D'Vontrey Richardson said.
Why are the Tigers on top?
"Clemson has offered me so that gives them an advantage and they also want me at quarterback. They said they want to take
two quarterbacks this year kind of like Tennessee did last season (2004)."
What is most important to Richardson in finding a school?
"Playing time is going to be real big but I'll play any position even though I prefer quarterback."
Does he have any indication of where he'll camp this summer?
"Were going to Clemson and Troy's 7 on 7. I'll go to Alabama and Georgia's senior camp as well."
How would the Lee County star assess his strengths and weaknesses?
"I need to do more to be a leader. This is my senior year and I need to do my part as a senior. What I do best is make plays. I like to try and stay in the pocket, but I can do a lot of things with my legs."
Is Richardson a candidate for an early commitment?
"I'll probably wait a little while. I want to take some visits before I decide."
Is there one player he models his game after?
"I model my game after Michael Vick because he wants to stay in the pocket first and then run second."
This South GA prospect will be an awfully hot commodity as we began to move towards the southern months.
Scott Kennedy Scouting Report: D'Vontrey Richardson is an early candidate
for the Top Overall prospect in the state of Georgia this year. I was blown away
by him on film, and I was very interested to get a look at him in person to see
how big he was. He measured 6-1 and over 200 pounds, and finished in the Top 10
in both the 40 yard dash and standing broad jump at the Kennedy/CES
Southern Invitational last month.
He makes the plays, and he is a standout physically. Some teams may try and move
Richardson into another position, and he certainly has the athleticism to do it,
but he is so dangerous with the ball in his hands it would be hard to move him.
He can beat a team running the ball or throwing the ball, and his teammate Lavelle Parker
(#4) is a D1 prospect as well. They should put up huge numbers together as
ScoutTV Presents 12 full minutes of Richardson in action. If you haven't signed
up yet, Richardson is one of those players that makes it worth signing up for
the 7 Day Free Trial!
