Technology is a process: It has stages, phases, and typical behaviours It operates and can be understood at different levels (e.g. technology policy, individual scientists) It involves different "stakeholder" perspectives (e.g. developers and users)
©2004 OpenTTO.org email@example.com Page 6 DILIGENT Technology Stages, Phases & Behaviours A long-term (confusing) process - not a single event: Linearity as convenient fiction (technology push). Caveat: The intellectual elegance of your science or technology won't necessarily attract market attention. Lots of feedback and recursive loops (market pull). Caveat: Successful technology transfer demands lots of iterations. There are marker events or key milestones (e.g., being awarded a patent, signing a license deal). You need to be in for the long haul.

©2004 OpenTTO.org firstname.lastname@example.com Page 10 DILIGENT™ Commercialization With Confidence ™ Two key principles drive the DILIGENT model: 1.Early planning and analysis returns disproportionate benefits. The beginning is the most important part of the work (Plato). 2.Elite venture capitalists have deep technology, industry and market understanding. Most commercialization efforts are tactical and do not commence full market, industry, distribution and sales planning until talks with "financiers" commence. DILIGENT and the slogan Commercialization With Confidence are trademarks of Digital Investor Pty Ltd.
©2004 OpenTTO.org firstname.lastname@example.com Page 11 Key Principle #1 Early Planning and Analysis Typically commercialization efforts are tactical: 1.They focus on point issues – typically: patent law, technology, licensing, agreements, commercial structures and financing. 2.Attention is often focused on an end-point of financing with a fall-back to licensing – which is a natural way for "point advisors" in legal, patents, commercial and financing to channel the process. 3.Market, industry, channels and sales strategies are often not performed, or if at all performed without rigor and method and integration within a total process. Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. (Sun Tzu)
©2004 OpenTTO.org firstname.lastname@example.com Page 12 Key Principle #2 Elite Investors Are Deep and Broad The most successful venture investors: 1.Have deep understanding of their chosen field of technology 2.Possess a vision of the industry and its dynamics 3.Can perceive the value proposition and help articulate it 4.Mentally assimilate channels, partners and global relationships 5.Understand the people and what drives then to succeed 6.Contribute to marketing, sales strategy, and sales itself 7.Seek strategic partners to bring finance and other most importantly complementary resources FINANCING is only ONE RESOURCE that is brought to a deal by these successful venture capitalists.
©2004 OpenTTO.org firstname.lastname@example.com Page 13 DILIGENT Fully Integrates the Two Principles This creates and captures maximum value: 1.Market and industry analysis is integrated early 2.Channels and distribution analysis adds options for the potential leverage of value 3.Commercial analysis has as input a broad view of potential resourcing, financing alternatives, and structural alternatives 4.People, sales and marketing are considered after the big picture industry, channels and partnering analysis 5.DILIGENT Confidence Index provides regular feedback DILIGENT creates a Business Plan which will attract maximum interest from targeted 3 rd parties and result in capturing maximum value for owners of research and IP.
©2004 OpenTTO.org firstname.lastname@example.com Page 14 DILIGENT Other Benefits A consistent and holistic process which: 1.Focuses attention on capturing value for the owners - not just creating value 2.Provides high executive visibility into the process 3.Allows for consistent comparison and review between opportunities and across the portfolio of commercialization 4.Scopes and directs the engagement of experts and consultants 5.Is continuously improved through the process model DILIGENT is a enabler of higher returns from commercialization at a lower cost and with higher owner/executive visibility and confidence.

Whats in that tiffin
While kids battle school exams usually thrice a year, mommies take exams every day on what to pack in the tiffin. It has to be healthy, and the kids want it to be tasty. Then there's a list of things that the kids don't like, which usually doesn't leave much on the menu. Due to this, mothers have to fret over the fact that their kids are missing essential nutrients. And all this has to be managed within a nano time frame, especially in case of working women. In come the picture then, sandwiches, burgers, maggie, bhajiya, vadas biscuits (more…)

Dubrovnik, Croatia - It was perhaps the ideal introduction to Dubrovnik. I walked past the statue of Saint Blaise and through the grand stone arch of the Pila gate and entered the old walled city. And standing there before me was a group of a few dozen men idling around the large, domed 15th-century Onofrio fountain.
The sight of them gave me a start, for they were variously dressed in doublets and hose, heavy tunics and floppy hats, and the brown robes of Franciscan monks. Their fashions were as old as the fountain around which they lingered.
For a fleeting moment, it felt as if I'd been transported back centuries, to a time when Dubrovnik was a powerful centre of merchant shipping in the Mediterranean. The famous Stradun, or main street, virtually unchanged for more than 300 years, stretched beyond the group, and for a moment there was nothing before me to suggest that it was 2014.
And then, abruptly breaking the spell, one of the men pulled out a smartphone and snapped a grinning selfie with another medievally garbed fellow. Almost as soon as he clicked the shutter, the men were surrounded by an even larger group of Korean tourists, who were also eager to capture images of these apparent time traveller.
The scene, with its cast of costumed extras waiting for a director to shout "action!," the crowd of camera-toting tourists and the stunning backdrop, summarised the character of the Old City, a town-size living museum that appears perfectly preserved in all its vivid historical richness, and hinted at the way it now excels at playing versions of itself, for tourists and film crews alike.
The Pearl of the Adriatic, as Dubrovnik is known, has prospered and persevered in equal measure since its birth in the 7th century and boasts exquisite physical perfection. The Old City, which juts out into the sea, is renowned for its intact defensive wall, towering forts, a characteristic red-tiled roofscape and narrow, climbing streets.
It is these qualities that draw the film cameras to this spectacular part of the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and have brought Dubrovnik an unusual form of stardom. The filming I'd stumbled upon was for a Croatian TV series about the medieval Dubrovnik Republic, but nowadays, the city most famously plays the role of King's Landing in Game Of Thrones.
Dubrovnik is a perfect real-world substitute for the grand capital of Westeros, the fictional world of George R.R. Martin's novels, which have become a phenomenon with HBO's lavish television adaptation. Though most of the interiors are filmed in Northern Ireland, the striking location shoots are filmed here in Dubrovnik — every year, the cast and crew gather for a month or more, and King's Landing comes to life on the streets and ramparts as the central power struggles play out, with the rival factions scheming to hold on to the Iron Throne.
On numerous occasions during my stay in the city, I would come upon a huge fort, a stunning vista or a claustrophobic street that I recognised from that other, fictional world: the vile King Joffrey's Red Keep; the packed slum of Flea Bottom; or Blackwater Bay, scene of an epic, bloody battle in one of the finest television episodes ever filmed.
Inevitably, there are now a few operators offering Game Of Thrones walking tours of the city, pointing out where various scenes are filmed and regaling tourists with anecdotes from the shoots. But on the whole, the city is admirably modest about its stardom, with hardly any visible attempts to cash in on its role as King's Landing. I got the impression that a city with as illustrious a history as Dubrovnik's doesn't feel the need to rely on television celebrity for its appeal.
Indeed, the real history is as fraught and dramatic as anything in Westeros. Since the city's founding, visitors have included marauding Turks, Arab invaders, a shipwrecked Richard the Lionhearted and Napoleon's army. It came under the protection of the Byzantine Empire, then under the sovereignty of Venice, and from the mid-14th century it was the affluent capital of the Republic of Ragusa, a vassal of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire but effectively a free state stretching a short distance up and down this remarkable coastline of steep, mountainous terrain and strings of lush islands.
The larger city of Dubrovnik is an attractive coastal town, but it is the Old City, a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1979, that really captivates. Between the Ploce Gate to the east and the Pila Gate to the west is that fine main thoroughfare, the Stradun. It's one of the most perfectly proportioned streets I've ever walked along, the bell towers at either end acting as visual exclamation points bookending the gleaming stone pavement and the cream-coloured buildings in between.
The Stradun functions as a sort of spine to the old walled city, with numerous narrow lanes stretching out north and south. Those streets climb up to the ramparts on the land and sea sides, and as you walk up and down the flights of steps, the alleys keep framing the city in stunning vertical shafts — one street will perfectly frame the dome of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin, another will offer a perspective full of stacked terra cotta rooftops.
The walled city is small, but you can get lost in the crisscrossing streets, finding yourself at yet another cafe-filled square or in front of one of many Gothic, Renaissance or Baroque churches.
In Gunduliceva Square, I stumbled upon traders setting up their stalls for the morning market and picked up a bag of boiled, sugared orange peels, basically a recipe for jelly sweets from the Middle Ages.
But a meandering stroll through these streets acts as a mere prelude to the views available from the city's most breathtaking attraction, the famous old wall that stretches for one and a quarter miles, enclosing the city like the rim of a bowl. There are two main entrances, by the Pila and Ploce gates (a third entrance is behind the St John Fortress.
I'd recommend Pila for maximum effect — the walk along the west side takes you out toward the azure-coloured Adriatic and offers stunning views of Fort Lovrijenac, a.k.a. the Red Keep of King's Landing, across a small bay, and then along the south-facing sea walls, with a vertiginous drop down to the water.
On this side, my view was pulled out to sea and to the sight of Lokrum Island not far away, a leafy green idyll floating on the bright blue water. But as I continued the circle, it was the city itself that began to command my attention, drawing my eye inward.
The ramparts on the northern wall, facing the land, are much higher and the walls much thicker, nearly 20 feet in places, an indication of where the greatest threat was perceived to lie. The finest view of all came at the Minceta tower, on the northwest corner, where the collage of bell towers and terra cotta roofs, framed by the sea beyond, was splayed out before me, a breathtaking scene.
Another perspective on Dubrovnik comes with a journey on the cable car that runs 1 300 feet up Mount Srd, the precipice that looms steeply over the city. From up here, the rooftops merge into one rust-red mosaic, and I could see how perfectly proportioned and self-contained the Old City is.
From the fast-rising cable car, its relationship to Lokrum Island became clear to me, the two operating very much as a pair from up high, the forested Lokrum a glowing emerald to Dubrovnik's gleaming pearl.
But the stunning view isn't the only valuable perspective to be gained at the top of Mount Srd. Adjacent to the cable car station is the Imperial Fort, an imposing relic of the Napoleonic wars that was built in the early 19th century. The fort's lofty position makes it a critical defensive site for the city, a point most recently proven during the Siege of Dubrovnik that lasted from late 1991 to 1992.
Today, the siege is remembered in a moving exhibition in the Imperial Fort, and as I gazed at some of the shells from the bombardment, as well as photographs and news footage of the siege, Dubrovnik took on a very different personality.
During the Homeland War, as it's known in Croatia, the Yugoslav People's Army bombarded the city as part of an effort to create a greater Serbia after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
A relatively small unit of young Croatian soldiers protected the Imperial Fort, for to lose it would almost certainly have meant losing the city, and they fended off Serbian forces in the mountains to the west and attacks from sea and air. Dubrovnik, both inside and outside the walls, sustained enormous damage from the shelling.
The successful defence of the city, and the international coverage that the siege attracted, became a hugely significant symbol of Croatian resistance to Serbian aggression. When you view it in this light, Dubrovnik finally shakes off some of its timeless, otherworldly quality.
Because it's one of the great historical sites of the world, no expense was spared in repairing the city, to such a degree that the damage is hard to notice unless it's pointed out. But the Old City has suffered in other ways since — a population of 5,000 has now dwindled to about 500, with residents being priced out as the Old City accommodations and restaurants increasingly cater exclusively to tourists at inflated prices.
For many of those visitors, the fantasy world of Westeros is more real, more palpable, than the Republic of Ragusa; the Battle of Blackwater more vivid than the siege during the Homeland War. Even playing a historical version of itself, as it was in the Dubrovnik Republic shoot I kept stumbling upon, it's clear that the city is engaged in a kind of perpetual performance.
On my last day, in Luza Square at the eastern end of the Stradun, I happen upon a large crowd of men dressed in the costumes of medieval guards, surrounding an ornate pillar known as Orlando's column.
On one side of the pillar is the statue of the legendary Orlando, a Norman knight who defended the city from the Saracens in its earliest years. On the other side is a prisoner, chained, beaten and whipped, his face bloodied and swollen, his forlorn eyes raised to the facade of the Church of Saint Blaise, Dubrovnik's patron saint. A crowd of onlookers gaze at his suffering, curious about his plight.
And then the director yells "cut!" The cameras stop filming, and as the "prisoner" is released from his shackles, he poses with some of the onlookers for photographs, smiling broadly at the attention, his anguish gone.
In this little vignette, I realise, there is something of what Dubrovnik offers: the illusion that past and present, reality and fiction, are coexisting in this magical little place.
It's an illusion, in truth, that I didn't want to end. - The Washington Post

Fishing: Story Story Posted 08-16-2011 Use A Personal Pontoon Boat For Your Next Fishing Trip Tips for using personal pontoon boats to float streams By: Kentucky Dept. Of Fish & Wildlife Resources From Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources FRANKFORT, Ky. – Floating a stream and catching smallmouth bass after smallmouth bass, a few spotted bass, rock bass, green sunfish and even an occasional white crappie is the one of the best ways to spend a summer afternoon. On a blistering hot day, you can beach your boat, wander out into a flowing, shallow shoal and sit down, letting the cool water of the stream flow over you and wash away the sweat and heat. A personal pontoon boat, sometimes called a cataraft or a float boat, is an affordable entry into floating the wealth of streams that flow in Kentucky. A pontoon boat consists of two pontoons lashed onto a steel or aluminum frame with oars mounted on the frame. Some newer models don't have frames, but use air pressure and specially designed pontoons to ensure the boat's structural integrity. Boats such as these along with kayaks and canoes are growing rapidly in popularity as the cost of motorized, lake and river worthy boats continues to rise beyond the budget of many people. You can pick up a good new pontoon boat for under $500 from one of the national outfitters or find a used one on the Internet for much less. Operating a canoe or kayak requires more practice and skill than using a pontoon boat, but these boats possess their own idiosyncrasies that users should know before trying one out on a Kentucky stream. First, don't buy one with cloth covers on the pontoons if you plan to float the rocky streams of Kentucky with any regularity. The rough limestone underlying a great extent of the state or the sandstone of the mountainous region does a number on cloth after a few floats. You can baby them for quite a few years if you don't use your boat much, but opt for pontoon covers made of PVC for stream fishing. If you plan to mainly float lakes or riffle-free, slow moving rivers, the cloth covers are fine and cost less than PVC. Secondly, don't bite off more stream than you can chew. A personal pontoon boat is not a canoe or kayak. With one of these boats, you sacrifice the speed of a canoe or kayak for a stable fishing craft that moves the same speed as the current, giving the fish (especially smallmouth bass and trout) a realistic lure presentation. You also can't row upstream against current much distance with a pontoon boat like you can a kayak. There is no bailing out by going back to the put-in once you commit to a float. Plan floats for six miles or less if you start early and fishing is your goal. You can stretch a pontoon boat excursion up to seven miles with high water. You can also cover that much water if you plan to mainly float and casually fish. Around five miles is the ideal float length for extensive fishing without any worry. A common mistake made while floating a stream is spending too much time fishing at the beginning of the float and then paddling in a panic to make the take-out by dark. Avoid floating in darkness at all costs. At night, you can't see obstructions in the stream and you can't read rapids either. Night floating is a dangerous situation that brings serious injury and major boat damage into play. You don't want to be walking a wounded boat home along the banks of a rock-strewn stream at 10 p.m. It is also easy to float right past take-out into a world of trouble at night. Start paddling when the shadows grow long and sunlight dims to make the take-out by dark. Always bring along the hand pump that comes with your pontoon boat. Sometimes, a poor seal on the valve where you pump air into the pontoon bladder will slowly leak air during the float. Tightening the valve and a few pumps of air will usually solve the problem. Pontoons rarely fall victim to a piece of sharp metal or glass in the stream, but if you get a puncture, you'll need your pump to get you home. Some models of these boats have a bladder inside a bladder pontoon design, so if you puncture the outside bladder, you'll still get home. They cost more than single pontoon designs. Navigating water in a pontoon boat is a bit different than floating in a canoe or kayak. Pontoon boats are incredibly easy to navigate through rapids, standing waves and other rough water. They are nearly impossible to flip, but avoid going down rapids sideways. You can pin the boat in the current against a rock and lose the ability to navigate with your oars. In a pontoon boat, try and deflect off standing waves with one of the pontoons. Water flowing fast over a boulder or other obstruction creates a standing wave. Don't straddle the waves with your pontoons or the standing wave will break on you. Big ones can knock you out of the boat, while smaller standing waves can cause the loss of fishing rods and equipment. Pontoon boats quickly react to oaring, so don't overuse them. A couple of quick, short strokes of the oars are all you need to straighten the boat. Make sure to balance the frame on the pontoons as well. Balancing the frame keeps the boat from riding too high in the front and submerging the back of the boat. This also keeps the boat from plowing the water when you oar by having too much weight toward the front.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Stefan AskernaesA moving-out-of-country-buh-bye gift for an old friend. In case you can't tell, it's a picture of a eight-pointed shape with an eye shoved in the middle. Kinda generic I guess, but it came from the heart. Suppose I was thinking about Cthulhuish imagery at the time. Pencil on paper. Proxy three hours.

US soccer coach bristles at Obama promise
By David Beard, Globe Staff
President Obama put the pressure on US national soccer coach Bob Bradley -- and Bradley isn't happy about it.
In a chat on Thursday with Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Obama responded to razzing about the US team's loss to Brazil earlier this month after leading 2-0. After accepting a signed Brazilian national team jersey, Obama said he told Brazil's leader that "we're not gonna give up a 2-goal lead."
On Saturday night, after a last-minute tie against an unheralded Haiti team, Coach Bradley was asked if Obama's promise upped the pressure on him.
Visibly irked, Bradley told the Boston Globe: "It's easy for him to say that. That's what I would say to that.''
Minutes earlier, Bradley reflected on that nightmarish 3-2 loss to Brazil by noting similarities with Saturday night's game, in which the United States gave up a 1-0 lead by allowing two quick second-half Haitian goals.
"We didn't need a second reminder of what it is like to give up a goal 45 seconds in the second half,'' Bradley said.
On Saturday night, the US squad salvaged the tie with a last-minute goal by midfielder Stuart Holden. The Americans advance to the quarterfinals next weekend in Philadelphia of the Gold Cup of the Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Association Football.
Obama's comment Thursday followed a series of teasing remarks by the Brazil's president of his nation's come-from-behind victory in the Confederation Cup in South Africa. The Brazilian leader repeatedly used Obama's campaign catchphrase "Yes We Can'' in describing his team's comeback.

I love the way that you had drawn the sword here! It looks very elegant and like it would be a good weapon to use in battle, or in a display case at a castle or something. I adore the sapphires and emeralds on the golden hilt. 5/5 hearts and faves.

Since forever in the history of art, every artist is used to copying the other artists' work, especially the work of the ancient masters. This practice teaches to us a lot of things about the techniques, the use of colours and the personal style of the master. Therefore, to copy corresponds to learn, according to the effective idea of "learning by doing". Even today, in the age of the … [Read more...]

Location: Milky Way / Hawking Eta / Verr System / First planet
Description Edit
Initial surveys of Corang noted its high density and active plate tectonics, suggesting a high internal heat fueled by a greater than normal concentration of heavy elements and radioactives. Early test cores proved the mineral richness of the world, but distance from the mass relay in the Century system made it unprofitable to develop until late 2183.
The atmosphere is a smog of methane, ammonia, and water vapor, a so-called "primordial soup" similar to the conditions of early Earth. However, there is no evidence of life developing on Corang's surface beyond the level of simple dextro-amino acids. The minimal energy input of the red dwarf Verr have created an energy-starved surface environment, through the planet's volcanism does hold open some possibility for subterranean development.
- Assignment: Project Firewalker: Survey Sites Located
Mineral DepositsEdit
Initial Scanner Result: Rich
Mineral | Amount | Approximate Value |
Palladium | Low | 4,885 |
Platinum | Low | 3,566 |
Iridium | High | 16,056 |
Element Zero | None | 0 |
Trivia Edit
- Although the planet description for Corang notes that the Century system has a mass relay, none is shown in-game. The Chandrasekhar system is the only system in the Hawking Eta cluster shown to possess a mass relay in the Galaxy Map in Mass Effect 2.

I absolutely LOVE all things Unity! From the quality of the stamps, the customer service, the owners, the design team, etc. Love it all. They are not just a company that wants your money, they treat you more like friends. And, that goes a LONG way nowadays! Thanks for the opportunity to win! ~ Darci
ReplyDelete- Jennifer TibbettsMay 28, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I have always been impressed with not only the stamps themselves but also the company. I first experienced Unity at Scrapfest and the employees at their booth were so genuine and you could tell that they took pride in their product as well.
ReplyDelete Well that was easy since I'm already a fan of Unity! Of course, these are some of the most amazing stamps around! If you want beauty, Unity has it; if you want quirky, Unity has it; if you want inspiration, Unity has it! However, what I'm most drawn to with Unity is it's owner... She is perhaps, one of the most endearing, inspiring, sweetest people that I've ever known! She really puts her whole heart into her business and her customers!

Had a great stay at Darryn in the loft. Very comfortable and convenient. Will be staying again soon.
Phil2015-07-17T00:00:00ZDaryn's place was lovely. It was clean, and nicely furnished. Access to the room was through a seperate entrance, which was cool. There was lots of spare toiletries available like shampoo, conditioner, soap, earbuds etc. He even went up earlier and put the AC on for us. Great place, would definitely go again if welcome.
Sarah2016-01-23T00:00:00ZThe hosts are very generous and patient people. I stayed to look after my husband in a hospital and I was't sure when my husband was transferred due to the weather. I had to contact them for the delay and they kept being very generous and kind to me. I needed quiet environment and they this loft studio gave me relaxing private space during my stay. It has everything I need and everything is so new, nice and clean. This accommodation is only 10 min from John Hunter hospital and 10 min to big shopping center by car. I cooked all meals there with toaster and microwave in the kitchen, and stored food in the fridge. Lots of new clean towels and medical cabinet has lots of back up soap, shampoo and cotton buds, pads etc. Great host, and great accommodation (better than motel or commercial apartment).
Hiroko2015-11-09T00:00:00ZAnother great stay at Daryn's loft. Ideal location in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Great toiletries provided in the mirrored shave cabinet. Thanks Daryn, we will return.
Sue2016-07-05T00:00:00ZI was made to feel very welcome. The accommodation is well situated, a short drive into town. The area is very quiet. Comfy bed and amenities as described. Plenty of towels and things travellers might need. This is a good place for solo or couple travellers.
Bronwyn2015-09-21T00:00:00ZThis is my second time booking with Daryn's. I extended my stay to look after my husband in John Hunter Hospital. I realised how comfortable the loft studio was once I stayed dormitory type of accommodation in the hospital. This loft offers quiet, private and lots of comfort like nice & clean towels, spare tooth papist or shampoo, air con, DVD player, sofa etc. I felt so comfortable and rested. I will definitely come back if I need to stay near the hospital.
Hiroko2015-11-15T00:00:00ZDaryn was a very welcoming host. He gave us a few great tips on things to do and see when we arrived (suggestions we made use of) and then left us to our own devices for the rest of our stay which is just as we liked it. Would recommend and we would stay again. Thanks daryn
Alex2015-10-15T00:00:00ZDaryn got back to me straight away when I messaged him. The room was accurately described on airbnb. It was comfortable, private and clean. Daryn was a great host and left me to do my own thing once introductions were finished. The house is located in a quiet neighbourhood.

We stayed twice at Mel's place - it was that good! The location is great - walking distance to park, pool and small shops/cafes. Mel is an awesome host who really looked after us during a difficult family time.
Libby2016-09-12T00:00:00ZMel and Adam are lovely but their kids are awesome!!! They brought us treats and spoiled us! The flat is adorable...cutest kitchen ever, comfy bed, fine bath, great laundry and cozy tv area. The only thing missing was a hug because Mel had a cough and didn't want to share it. Truly wonderful family with a really cool flat! We will miss them and wish them well!
mary2016-09-14T00:00:00ZMel is the best host we've ever experienced. Very welcoming and warm heart, caring us while our stay. Thank you
Terumi2016-10-18T00:00:00ZI stayed at Mel's gorgeous BnB with my one and three year olds and we had a fabulous time. The place is really well equipped with toys & gear for kids which kept them entertained, and the kitchen had everything I needed to self cater. Mel and her family were so welcoming and hospitable, and were happy to help out with anything we needed. The highlight would have to be the treats (think fresh mangoes and hot out of the oven cake) that appeared on our door each morning. What a suprise! Thanks Mel and family. I'd highly recommend.
Laura2016-12-01T00:00:00ZGreat stay at the retro granny, everything you could need. Convenient, cosy, lovely.
danielle2017-01-22T00:00:00ZWords alone cannot truly express the fantastic experience my daughter and I had (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication both from the very beginning and during the stay was excellent. We stayed a total of four days and found the location very convenient and accessible to everything we could possibly need including supermarket, shopping centre and local pool. The level of added extras was nothing short of outstanding. Way more was provided than I have ever seen in any accomodation I have ever stayed. Breakfast, fruit, tea and coffee supplies and a full range of toiletries just in case you forgot anything. The chocolate biscuits where also a big hit with my daughter. Mel very graciously allowed other family members to visit as well without any fuss and also offered to taxi me should I have needed it. Overall a very happily memorable stay and we'll definitely be back for sure :)
Susan2016-09-29T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay, very close to Lizottes restaurant which was the intended reason for the area. Mel was a really nice welcoming host and provided surprise goodies for us on arrival and during our stay. Lovely family and very knowledgeable of the area. Absolutely loved the decor of the retro theme, very comfy and cozy :) . Thanks Mel!
Tony2016-11-24T00:00:00ZA great place to stay and Mel went out of her way to help us at a difficult time. Would thoroughly recommend.

Jim2016-12-28T00:00:00ZGreat place. Great host. Very easy place to stay. Comfy bed. Couple of sweet dogs to say hello too...!!
Dion2017-01-15T00:00:00ZBobby was extremely friendly and was interested in getting to know me, and he is obviously very passionate about his career and hobbies which is great. The bed was comfortable, in a room that was spacious enough for me to complete university studies. The bathroom was kept in a clean state, and the kitchen had many features that are available for use. This was a great place to stay for a few days, and I definitely recommend it to anyone passing through Newcastle
Ben2016-11-04T00:00:00ZBobby got in touch before my arrival, he called to know if i had any concerns or questions. A very good space to stay, very accesible and close to the shops. Made my experience in newcastle very enjoyable. Good guy, good host.

Tiarn2016-11-30T00:00:00ZDie Unterkunft war sehr modern und praktisch eingerichtet, es war alles super sauber und ordentlich. Wir hatten die Möglichkeit den Pool und die Waschmaschiene/ den Trockner mit zu benutzen. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und der Aufenthalt war insgesamt sehr schön!
Nika2016-11-07T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay!! The loft was comfortable and clean and in an excellent location for cafes and transport!

Oh2016-11-29T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I had a great stay at Liz's place in New Lambton. The loft was beautifully sunny and is a great space they have renovated well.

Really friendly, communicative hosts. They were really welcoming and the place itself was really nice
Erika2016-12-15T00:00:00ZGood place to stay for a few nights. Close to shops. The house had everything we needed. Didn't had much contact with Paulina, but she seemed sweet.
Benjamin2017-01-11T00:00:00ZPaulina's place was great. Everything was as pictured and as described. Paulina was accommodating when our travels were delayed due to a wildfire that was closing the highway. Our detour made us almost two hours late but that was no problem. The bed was very comfortable. Definitely recommend.
Wesley2016-11-07T00:00:00ZA beautiful and spacious room. Very cosy and clean. We had a great pleasure and comfort staying at Paulina 's home. The hosts are a really nice couple and we've spent a lovely evening with them. A trully wonderful experience! We are recommending this place for everyone as it would suit an any kind of traveller!
Justas2017-01-17T00:00:00ZThe house is great with comfortable bed and AC. Well equipped necessity that provide everything you need. Great location and pleasant neighbourhood.
Ka Hei2016-12-28T00:00:00ZMy partner and I really enjoyed staying with Paulina. Her home is beautiful and peaceful. The air conditioning is perfect after a long, hot day. Plus, there are personal touches everywhere. We would definitely recommend staying with Paulina (and would do so again).
Marion2016-12-29T00:00:00ZLovely short stay at Paulina's house. Everything was great and bed was lovely and comfy! Really nice to have some small soaps and a chocolate left for you in the room plus her dog and cat were nice! Highly recommended
Georgia2017-01-30T00:00:00ZPaulina's place was just as described and pictured. She had towels and some snacks ready foe when I arrived :) very clean! Her and her partner are super nice and understanding as they let me check in earlier than stated, even offered to pick me up from the train station. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

I was in Newcastle for an event at University of Newcastle and stayed one night in the yurt. The place was conveniently located to the Uni and the host Andrew was great! He was really helpful with directions and provided some great local advice for my time there. Both him and his partner were really friendly and accommodating, even offering breakfast. The yurt itself and the main house were both very clean and tidy. The yurt was cosy and the bed was really comfortable. I would definitely recommend the place :)
Claudia2016-12-08T00:00:00ZWhat a cool place to stay! Private and unique, you won't be disappointed. Andrew was a top notch host as well!
Andy & Sarah2017-01-14T00:00:00ZAndrew and Jen greeted us when we arrived and gave us a little background to the area and where to go and enjoy a nice meal. Their description of the accommodation is perfect, and we liken it to a bit of "glamping". Comfiest bed, air conditioning and even Netflix but the bed had us in a deep slumber that we didn't use it. Thanks guys! Good start to our holiday!
Eliesa2017-01-02T00:00:00ZThis place was great. Good bed, air conditioning, large yurt, modern smart tv and wi fi. Good modern bathroom and shower. Hosts really helpful and friendly.
Mark2017-01-06T00:00:00ZGreat little yurt with a really comfortable bed and great TV set up. Really nice for a couple to chill out and relax. Bathroom in the main house was the cleanest I have ever seen and the kitchen looked very decent. Very unique and would love to stay again.
Steven2016-12-28T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay, very private and clean. One of a kind places to stay!
Mazen 2016-12-25T00:00:00ZNice place and friendly hosts
Ted2017-01-08T00:00:00ZHighly recommended. Great hosts, cool little space, the yurt is awesome. Private space, aircon, fridge, Apple TV and just a great time. Do it, it's awesome. Your own dwelling at the price of a private room. We'll be coming back for sure. :)

Gaye and Greg's place was exactly as described and pictured in their listing. It was spotlessly clean, cosy, comfortable and it is an extremely cute place. It is very quiet and there isn't any noisy traffic. The outdoor deck is cosy and perfect for having a glass of wine cheese. My only regret is not spending enough time there. One thing's for sure - if I return to Newcastle/North Lambton, there is no doubt that I will be staying there again. Thank you Gaye and Greg for your kindness and warm hospitality! - Lynette
Lynette2015-11-17T00:00:00ZMy hosts made me feel extremely welcome living in the house. They were also very nice and helpful during my stay: They offered to take me shopping and go out together for a meal. I accidentally twisted my left arm during my stay, and Gaye brought me a heating pillow along with heating balm, without which my arm would not have improved so quickly(URL HIDDEN)The description of the place of very accurate. This unit is completely independent from the rest of the house, and very well equipped. The house is close to both the University of Newcastle and the nearby shopping center (10 min of walking)(URL HIDDEN)The neighborhood is very beautiful and safe! I had a wonderful experience staying at the place with Gaye and her husband. I would definitely recommend this place to my friend. And should I return to Newcastle, I would definitely stay with them!
Xiaoying2015-06-26T00:00:00ZGaye and her husband are thoughtful, helpful and generous hosts for whom nothing is too much trouble - including helping us get our flat car tyre reparied and inviting us to join them for a delicious barbeque! Newcastle has lots of great bike paths, two wonderful ocean baths and excellent cafes all close by. A short break on Sunset Boulevard to recharge the batteries most definitely recommended.
Liz2015-01-02T00:00:00ZGaye and Greg went above and beyond to make me feel welcome in their home, and even helped me get around the neighbourhood and university. The house was super lovely (I had my own living room, bedroom, kitchenette, laundry and bathroom!) and I couldn't have had a better airbnb experience!
Danielle2015-09-22T00:00:00ZWhat a wonderfully, serene place it is at Gaye and Gregs'. I had booked this place with my siblings as a Christmas gift for my loving parents. They were in dire need of a break away from their busy and demanding schedules. After reading all the reviews here and pondering for several days I could not stop thinking about their place. So I went ahead made contact and booked their place only a several days before their check in date which was Boxing Day. Without exaggeration my parents had the most memorable experience at Gaye and Gregs place. From their first meeting to their dinner and dessert by the sea, they really enjoyed their stay and have already mentioned of coming again soon. Nothing but praise for them both. And I truly believe this is the start of a life long friendship. With all our love Gaye and Greg Happy New Year Neomai and her parents
Neomai2017-01-01T00:00:00ZThe host, Gaye, is most friendly
Rayymond2015-02-20T00:00:00ZBooking: During the booking process, Gaye always replied my questions very quickly although there was a considerable time difference (Slovakia-Australia). She also provided me all information about the area and the way how to get to their place. She also was so kind to hold the reservation for 2 days until I was able to make the payment with credit card. Arrival: I have arrived on Saturday in the early evening and I was welcomed very warmly. It was nice to find some food supplies in the kitchen (toast, eggs, milk, butter, fruits, yoghurt and oats), so I just could relax after my journey and did not need to be worried about the shopping for a while. The place looks exactly like on the images provided on Airbnb, nice furniture, big TV, well working free wifi, very well equipped kitchen. The spacious bed was really very comfortable with a nice view towards small bushland reserve. The next day I was offered to join Gaye and her husband Greg to go shopping, what was very helpful because I did not have a car by myself. They also drove me into the university campus area and showed me the location of my department (Earth Sciences), sport centre and library. Stay: I have stayed here for 3 weeks during visiting the University of Newcastle. The location of the accommodation was really spectacular; it took me just 10 min walking to reach my department. North Lambton is a very nice suburb, quiet and safe and I was OK to walk after dark from work or the nearby shopping centre in Jesmond (10 min walk). The unit is completely independent from the rest of the house upstairs, so I had plenty of privacy when I needed it, but on the other hand they were close by when I had some question. Gaye and Greg are very hospitable people with big open hearts, they have tried to fulfil every my special wish like cable extention to charge my laptop or multicolour tread for my hand craft. They were kindly sharing also their free family time with me, and I had the opportunity to meet their daughters and their families and have a barbeque with them. We had a lot of fun on Tuesday nights having meals at a local pub and playing Trivia! That was really nice opportunity to get more Ozzie experience. At the end of my stay, they took me for a weekend trip to Hawks Nest where their own another property (also listed on Airbnb) and we spend really great family time. The sunsets and sunrises at beaches were spectacular as well as a lookout from the mountain that we have climbed. I got also experience in fishing and kayaking on Myall river. Although it was just beginning of spring I could not resist trying swimming in the waters of Pacific ocean after cycling around. I had such a lovely time and it was very difficult to leave Gillard`s family and Newcastle. I...
Elena2015-09-16T00:00:00ZGaye and Greg are wonderful people. They welcomed my mom and sister in-law with open arms and made them feel welcomed in Newcastle. The accommodation is very clean and independent from the rest of house. I would highly recommend this sweet couple for anyone visiting Newcastle.

Really nice and friendly hosts. The room was clean, but because of the winter a little bit cold. So all in all it was a really good stay for a student like me!
Dominic2016-07-31T00:00:00ZWas very disappointed with the room and facilities as it was not accurately described. As a single women traveling on my own i did not feel safe , helan did call me prior to my arrival to say her husband would meet at the premises .i arrived in the dark at 5.15pm. Was handed my key and shown a shared bathroom. Was not shown the shared kitchen which i found as i left in the morning. I had no idea that there where any other guests if any ! In the building. Or if the main front door was locked at night for safety. old sprung bed , no heater, decor prints on floor not hung on wall , exposed electrial cords across the room to lamp shade. Noisey to the traffic , dark in hallways at night to bathroom. Basic beding.
dee2016-08-08T00:00:00ZNever got to meet her. Had friend here to meet me.
Janette2016-10-15T00:00:00ZAbsolutely loved the room, Helan is a fantastic host and quick to respond to communication. I Met Helan's hubby on arrival, a true gentleman! The room itself is cosy and warm, ( it was -1 deg overnight when I stayed). Close to Shops Transport, restaurants, Food, Coffee, Both high and low end cheap eats. I hope to make it my regular!

A pleasant room in a quiet area with an excellent bed. The room remained comfortable even in very hot weather despite having no air conditioning.
David2017-01-02T00:00:00ZStacey is a fantastic host, would rate 10/10 for the overall experience. I messed up my booking just to realise I had short booked my stay, she let me stay longer without a word. White sheets on the bed very clean and shows confidence. Very private room hosts stay a level up, absolutely no disturbance, Stacey has provided for good amenities and spacious too you will not regret. Place is secluded but shops just about 3-5 minutes drive.

We loved our stay at the studio, very private, spacious and peaceful. We appreciated how clean it was on arrival and that Kiersten had gone out of her way to provide extra bedding to make our stay comfortable.
Kristy2016-03-01T00:00:00ZWe are provided everything we need. The studio is very comfortable and spacious, clean and warm, with free wifi, Netflix and private access. It was raining sometimes when we stayed there, we didn't even want to walk out this cozy place. Kiersten was very kind to meet us when we arrived there at night and could't find the place. We'd love to re-visit this place next time and recommend to our friends.
Yi2016-08-10T00:00:00ZKiersten's place is awesome. Spacious, clean and modern. The place was spotless when I arrived. Kiersten was more than accomodating with my changing arrival time and even without having to see her in person she gave simple and easy to understand instructions on how to get in. I didn't get a chance to check out the local area, in terms of it's location, but it was perfectly located to where I was working at the time. Would recommend a stay here and would stay again.

Sean2016-08-05T00:00:00ZThe apartment is located in a lovely neighbourhood. It was clean and spacious for 4 of us. Kiersten was responsive and her instruction to check in was clear. We totally enjoyed our experience and highly recommend this for others visiting Newcastle.
Alex 2015-12-25T00:00:00ZWe loved staying in this apartment. Looks like it is pretty well brand new, it is modern, clean and very roomy. Basically one very large space with modern kitchen and bathroom at one end. All beautifully finished. Queen bed and "clic clac" fold down double so ideal for my son and I. Kiersten was prompt to reply and gave really good instruction in regards to keys etc. Would definitely stay in this modern well priced space either on my own or with family. Thanks Kiersten

We stayed here overnight as a stopover for our drive from Melbourne to Gold Coast with our pet Cavoodle. Was just as described and loved the small snacks available in the fridge and the dog water/food bowls waiting for us. Communication with the host was great and check in procedure was easy. Would have loved to have more time here to enjoy the scenery. If travelling without a car I'd imagine it would be difficult to get to but otherwise can't recommend highly enough! Thanks Susan and Andrew!
Amanda2017-01-04T00:00:00ZSusan and Andrew's apartment was superb! We had everything we required for a great stay. Susan was attentive, yet left us to our own devices - and our two dogs loved the large courtyard. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the Newcastle area.

Wendy2017-01-06T00:00:00ZI was travelling through from QLD to Melbourne and found this to be a great place to stay overnight. Very comfortable, easy to find and pet friendly! Perfect for the weary traveller.
Carla2017-01-20T00:00:00ZThis is such a welcoming and private little apartment. It is beautifully and comfortably equipped and furnished. We were able to cook a simple meal and relax in the sitting room after a long drive. The bed is so comfortable. Susan has very thoughtfully prepared the apartment for guests.
Dani2016-12-16T00:00:00ZBeautifully clean, quiet and comfortable. Bathroom is a bit small and dated but perfectly functional. We very much appreciated being able to bring our two boxers. The property is terraced, so not a great deal of room for large dogs to run around but there's an area just up the road that was perfect for them to stretch their legs. We had a very enjoyable time and will happily stay again.
Sarah2017-01-08T00:00:00ZQuiet and well stocked studio with very comfortable furniture. Attention to detail for providing an attentive stay was duly noted. We felt very looked after. Extra inclusions like shower toiletries, candles, a weekend paper, guidebooks and candles were super thoughtful and made the stay feel like home. Great location, great views and great space. Streamlined communication, helpful advice, friendly couple and seamlessness made the check in and out and overall experience excellent. Susan and Andrew were very helpful whilst providing maximum privacy. Highly recommend.

Svenja2017-02-03T00:00:00ZNovak was a great host and her flat was well located.
A2017-01-07T00:00:00ZSuch a lovely lady she offered alot more than just a place to stay would definitely recommend staying here it had a nice homey feel.
Sabreen2017-01-28T00:00:00ZA basic budget value option centrally placed in Newcastle. Clean bed, shower and kitchenette. Not recommended during hot stuffy days or stays requiring a lot of time inside as no access yet to back yard, wifi non existent and TV is not a TV. Faces the street and lot of traffic noise. Bring your own pillows. Toast, milk, coffee and tea available. Parking in side street and short walk away. Located adjacent to Hairdressers in same building on corner.
Christina2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThe place was very close to the John Hunter Hospital which was where we needed to be. Novak was a very kind and welcoming host, making us feel very much at home in her place.
Chyna2017-01-31T00:00:00ZGood place, quiet and comfortable.
Supatarapong2017-01-27T00:00:00ZThe host was very accomodating. It was a pleasure to stay in her place. Big rooms and lounge.. We did enjoy..
Maria2016-12-26T00:00:00ZThis accommodation could be a good option if you are on a budget and/or are planning on spending most of your time out sightseeing. It has all the essentials you need, including a small kitchenette, but isn't necessarily the most inviting space to spend lots of time in. For us this was mainly because of a rather strong odour of cigarette smoke, masked with some sort of cleaning product. The chemical smell vanished eventually, but not the smoke did not. It's also worth noting that the bathroom is attached to one of the bedrooms, which could influence your sleeping arrangements. Novak was really friendly and welcoming though, and communication was good :)

The Baby Group Paperback
by Rowan Coleman
This is a heart-warming novel about six very different parents with six very different lives, from the author of The Memory Book.
Meet The Baby Group: Natalie ran her own design company until baby Freddie unexpectedly came along.
Now the capable person she once was is trapped inside a crazy woman's body, longing for just one decent night's sleep and words of more than one syllable.
Meg is onto her fourth child but still feels she has to take notes.
Meg's sister-in-law Frances organises her little boy like he's a private in the army, but underneath her prickly facade she longs for the kind of friendships others seem to find so easy.
Former career girl Jess sees danger lurking in every corner, doubting she'll ever be a good mother.
Stay-at-home house-husband Steve is just glad to have the opportunity to spend time with his daughter. And sixteen-year-old Tiffany is the youngest - yet possibly the wisest - of them all.
Six very different parents. Six very different lives. But when Natalie's dodgy wiring leads to a series of chance encounters they rapidly discover - through Baby Music, Baby Aerobics, coffee and more importantly cake - that there's safety in numbers. And their own unofficial baby group is formed...
