New Zealand > South Island > Franz Josef Glacier to Christchurch
Sep 9th 2008
Sunday, 10th August 2008
We are starting early today, a long 400km drive ahead and we plan to return to Christchurch before it gets dark (click HERE for map). In the hotel parking lot, our poor little car is all frozen up, thanks to sub-zero overnight temperature. Some water should gently thaw the windscreen ice. 🙂
It's dawn and our Fox Glacier Hotel looks radiant in the freezing air.
We continue our journey northwards along Route 6, and there is frost everywhere, making the plants and grasses look serenely white.
20-odd km on, we arrive at Franz Josef, site of another major glacier. We decide to take a quick look. Why not do both famous glaciers in one go? Been there, done that …
The access road is much better than Fox Glacier's …
… and we reluctantly leave the warm car in sub-zero temperature. It is very very cold, no kiddin'!
I see, a bunch of trekkers are here already. In this freezing morning, they must be true fans of glaciers.
In the carpark, a destitute kid's boot is all frozen up.
Another short walk to view the glacier, well at least to see its terminal face.
The well-tended footpath is 'covered' unlike at Fox, but it is still very cold, making the walk tedious.
Barely 10min later, we arrive at the viewing area and can't go any further. The terminal face is more than a mile away, but it does not look as impressive as Fox's. Not too long ago the face would have been right here, next to us.
The moraine debris can again be clearly seen staining the huge terminal face. The glacier is named after Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria in 1865, by the German explorer Julius von Haast.
Further up, the upper reaches of the glacier, as it 'flows' down from an altitude of 2700m to 240m in just 11km. It's the world's steepest and fastest moving glacier – flows at more than 7m per day. The Tasman Sea is 19km away and 10000 years ago, this glacier would have been there, at the sea. Note the characteristic blue ice.
At the viewing area we are surrounded by rainforest, and this tree fern looks very similar to the ones we find at our other home in Fraser's Hill. The amazing thing is that both Franz Josef and Fox flow all the way down to the rainforest at almost sea-level, which is unique in the world.
The glacial valley is surrounded by beautiful peaks, enhanced by the brilliant blue sky. Again we are lucky to have such splendid weather in winter.
As we drive back to the main road, a sign marks the location of the terminal face of Franz Josef in 1750. We are some 5km from the present position of the glacier's face, so that's 5km of glacier gone in 250 years.
We rejoin Route 6 and head northwards to resume our return journey to Christchurch.
Along the way frosty grass and trees are everywhere, especially in areas shaded by the towering mountains to the north and east.
We enter the delightful village of Hari Hari.
Hari Hari's main street heads east, and the village looks so peaceful and oblivious to the rest of the world.
65km on, we reach the town of Hokitika, famous for its hoki fish, another NZ icon. Btw McDonald's Filet o'Fish contains hoki. Also try fish & chips with hoki – heavenly! Anyway I haven't driven on a one-way bridge sharing with trains for a long, long time. Last was Kusial Bridge across the Kelantan river.
At last a major landmark – the Kumara Junction – left Route 6 to continue along the west coast, straight on for Route 73 to cross the Southern Alps to Christchurch.
There you go, another 233km and more snowy mountains to traverse. In winter this route is frequently closed due to snow. We are lucky today, it's open.
Scenic Otira Highway as we head eastwards.
That's the TranzAlpine train doing the daily Christchurch-Greymouth return trip. Connects the east coast and the west coast of South Island in 4.5hrs. One of world's most scenic train journeys. Must do for train lovers.
The highway follows another beautiful glacial valley.
Soon we enter Arthur's Pass National Park.
This is Arthur's Pass, very vulnerable to snowstorms.
More snow-covered peaks.
We are among the tall mountains in the middle of South Island.
Descending the pass.
Out of Arthur's Pass National Park and we hit another huge glacial valley.
A memorial to the park, with inspiring backdrop.
A long one-way bridge crosses the valley, where Waikamariri river flows.
The road skirts the southern side of the valley.
Soon fertile pastures blanket the landscape.
Sheep and cattle country.
Look at the glacier-like flow of the snow. As it melts, the water seeps into the grey debris. I imagine it's loose pebbles and stones – the scree. Fascinating geology.
We are on a plateau, but ahead more mountains loom.
Yes, more snow-capped mountains to admire.
We then start to cross another mountain range.
This is Porter's Pass, and there's fresh snow on the ground.
From here Christchurch is just an hour's drive away.
Families picnicking in the snow. Kids toboggan and adults do the barbie.
Up the road, it is like a snow festival!
A young family having a swell time.
I bet most of these folks are from Christchurch, less than an hour away.
Tobogganing down the slope is sheer fun!
I look back as the crowd ends. What a beautiful noon.
Fresh snow in clear fine weather is quite a sight.
We leave the mountains and reenter the Canterbury Plains. The straight road goes right into Christchurch.
Downtown Christchurch at last, 4.5hrs after leaving the west coast. This is the city centre – Cathedral Square, …
… named after this famous cathedral. Anglican, built late 19th century, very English.
Very New Zealand-ish van.
Old tram runs along a loop passing major city landmarks. Very popular with visitors.
Spire of the Cathedral, at 63 metres.
Happy Segway visitors.
More oldish buildings at a major downtown junction. Christchurch (Maori: Otautahi) settled by the British in 1848, named after Christ Church college of Oxford. 2nd largest city in NZ with 360,000 people, I think it's the most liveable city in the whole of NZ.
We find our way to the 320m-long Christchurch Pier at New Brighton, which juts out into the ferocious South Pacific Ocean. Go 8500 km that way and you'll hit Chile.
In the bitter cold, there is large crowd peering over the beach.
A beach artist is hard at work.
Not bad. He lays a piece of cloth on the sand for appreciative viewers to chuck coins onto.
Looking north along the coastline …
… and south. We end our quick Christchurch tour here. We check-in at a hotel near the airport because early tomorrow morning we are flying to Wellington to start our 2nd leg of this self-discovery of NZ.

Therapeutic Services Available
The private practice Margo operates is based on her education in occupational therapy, massage therapy, and marriage & family therapy; combining body/mind/spirit approaches when indicated, such as cranial-sacral therapy, Reiki, creative visualizations, and dialogue with parts of our inner selves. Her doctorate in Educational Leadership expanded her consultation work to organizations, businesses, and other groups who want to function more effectively.
My purpose is to give you the tools to be independent of my services, to know your strengths, direction, and the means to attain your goals.
My training has prepared me to work with all ages and conditions, as an experienced therapist with three licenses in CT:
Massage Therapy techniques:
Swedish Massage is the 'standard' in the U.S. and can incorporate deep tissue work and sports massage strokes.
Cranial-sacral Therapy as taught by Dr. John Upledger (see www.upledger.com for the courses that I have taken) is a subtle, light touch technique to adjust the muscular and fascial systems where restrictions may have occurred due to birth, injuries, or surgeries.
Reiki Healing is thought to have originated in Japan or Eurasia, and my training is at the Master Reiki Level, which means I teach Reiki One & Two classes and will mentor people to the Master Level, as appropriate. Many hospitals offer this kind of energy healing to reduce pain, induce relaxation, and promote better sleep and restoration.
Chakra Balancing probably originated from the continent of India, where other yogic practices are used to stimulate the endocrine glands through breathing and movement strategies. This healing is done with clothes on, hands above the body, to stimulate the center of your 'plumb line" of energy to assist all physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual systems into balance.
Occupational Therapy skills:
Pediatric Evaluation and Consultation is available with my expertise being in learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, autism, sensory integration, and fine motor and activities of daily living skills.
Career Decisions for teens and adults: Learning Coping Strategies for troublesome life transitions such as meditation, deep breathing, and self-management of emotions.
Spiritual Development is taught using material from books and lectures I have attended, which provide a metaphysical context to perceiving yourself and the world in which you live.
Marriage & Family Therapy focus:
Psychotherapy based on clients' goals in either Individual,, Couples, or Family Therapy sessions.
Neurofeedback is offered for certain diagnostic conditions such as: anxiety, depression, and dealing with chronic pain or disability.
Your goals are what matters, but here is what I consider possible:
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for an initial, scheduled phone consultation to establish communication and schedule appointments.
Insurance bills provided monthly for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Depending on your policy, coverage can vary, so call your insurance company ahead of time to inquire about your coverage for "Behavioral Health Services"—which is insurance-speak for any type of mental health service such as Marriage & Family or Individual Therapy.

When starting a new business or adventure it will always be good if we were to get a bit of a push as a head start. I was not only given a bit of a push, but was given a jump start with my new business.
Friend for over 15 years SRI Richard Branson using his public status to give me the push I need to get my business going. 6 months later Richard & Larry page (CEO) of Google both come together and place $200,000.00 into a back account and making loans to young people in getting they dream idea on the go.
A bit of a push can go a long way, with good & positive intentions anything can take place. Here is the video of the Interview that was a bit of a push for me as I sit with Sri Richard & about 12 medias on Necker Island on the 22nd March 2013

Will upcoming elections pose a risk to the IMF programme?
Members of the Economic Programme Oversight Com-mittee (EPOC) will be closely watching the Government in the run up to the general election, constitutionally due in 2016, to ensure it does not deviate from commitments under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme.
"The country expects EPOC to keep a very keen eye out that we do not do anything that is going to have a negative effect on the economic programme," co-chairman Richard Byles said.
"The fact that elections are coming is not relevant to us doing the right thing, making the correct decisions to keep the economy on the path that it is on," he said, adding that "next year and the year after is the real test of EPOC".
Byles was responding to a question at a media briefing in New Kingston last week as to whether he believes there would be more capital expenditure in the run up to election, given past actions of incumbent governments.
The co-chairman had earlier lamented that the Government has had to persistently underspend the capital budget to meet the primary surplus target of 7.5 per cent of gross domestic product under the IMF programme, which is equivalent to $121.27 billion for fiscal year 2014-15.
good financial management
"You will see capital expenditure to the extent that the Budget can afford it, and no more," Byles said.
"We have grown accustomed to cutting capex in the past and I think they will cut it in the future, too. In a way, you can't blame the administration for cutting Budget to meet the (primary surplus) target," he added.
According to Byles, "In previous IMF agreements, had we done that, we
wouldn't have failed some of the previous ones. So it's not a bad thing. It's good financial management, short term, to hit the IMF targets, but I'm saying that if you keep doing it over and over again it is eroding our infrastructure even beyond what we contemplated."
At his quarterly monetary briefing in mid-November, Bank of Jamaica Governor Brian Wynter declined to directly say whether there are any risks associated with the impending political business cycle (translated, if the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) wins) and the possible impact on the IMF's economic support programme.
While he said he would leave that question to others, Wynter said: "What I can observe, though, is that our Parliament saw fit to pass into law a stronger fiscal rule and I take that as a collective act," referring to the fact that it had the support of both the Government and the Opposition during its passage in the
Apparently referring to local government elections, which could be held by March 2015 and general elections by 2016, Wynter said "nobody can say what is going to happen next year, two years from now. None of us can."
The central bank governor said, however, that "you can create processes and structures that make it more likely or better guarantee to us that what we say we expect to do, despite all the things that can happen in the future, that we are still going to stick with it and do it."
He added that "we will see that that collective commitment by Jamaica to a process will also help to maintain all of us on a path of fiscal probity as we go forward. And it's so important to this debt reduction and the stability that we have experienced recently and that we are going to continue to experience in the future."

Gervais & Vine is a trendy spot offering dozens of by-the-glass wines, a broad array of beers, and a fine selection of single malts and other liquors. Satiate hunger with a few of the 30 or so hot and cold tapas, such as seared scallops, petite filet mignon with feta and balsamic reduction, grilled sausage, Spanish asparagus, bruschetta, spiced almonds, marinated manchego, olives, or smoked salmon with dill cream cheese and capers. Or try a stone-baked gourmet pizza instead.
On the corner of Main and Gervais Street, The Oak Table offers an dining experience with stunning views of the capitol building. An oak theme runs throughout the restaurant, which is sleek and contemporary in style. The seasonal menu is short, but makes up for it with innovation and a mixture of influences; dishes include sea scallop crudo, perfectly cooked Angus beef hangar steak, served with Japanese sweet potato puree and sauce Bordelaise, and braised rabbit ravioli. The whole deep-fried lobster, served with fine herb pommes puree and lemon beurre blanc, is also a popular mainstay. This is modern American cuisine at its best.
Great ambience, our family has visited flaming grill on many occasions since moving to SC. Flaming grill had great word of mouth reviews from many of the guys on base. But let me say again "had"! Our past two visits were crap, the service sucked and the staff took FOREVER stocking the hot bar, we absolutely love the fried blue crab however the pan stayed EMPTY. we intentionally overstayed our visit just to see how the staff handled the situation especially since my husband mentioned the DRY pans more than once… OK so once it was replenished it was enough for like 5 customers SAD!!!!!! Come on Flaming grill step up your service! Why should PAYING customers have to struggle and beg for GOOD Service!!! KEEP THE FOOD STOCKED!
Yelp: 4 stars, 71 reviews What happens when a Tex-Mex lover marries a Korean foodie? The Blue Cactus Café, that's what. This Tex-Mex/Korean barbecue fusion restaurant is a unique gem in Columbia's trendy Five Points district. Spawning such creations as kimchi burritos and red bean ice cream, Blue Cactus has been offering something different, delicious, and always fun to locals since the mid-90s. The kimchi is always fresh and extra spicy, the bi bam bap is authentic, and the spicy pork is something you simply have to experience. Don't come if you're in a rush, though. Everything here is made to order and extra care goes into making each dish just right.
I'm usually skeptical when I go out for Italian food in places south of NYC, but I was pleasantly surprised! We will add this spot to our list of restaurants when we come back to Columbia for next year's Masters.
Despite recently celebrating its 20th birthday, Blue Cactus Café isn't that well known. In fact, it's quite hard to find or stumble upon, being tucked away on the edge of Five Points without a sign outside. But those in the know keep returning for its unique, and affordable Korean Tex Mex-style home cooking, and cherish it for its quirks. The café describes itself as 'arrogantly slow', and even takes pride in its 'intentionally curt' service. The mish-mash decoration is also nothing to write home about. But all this is part of its charm, and the food, cooked and served by Julie, Mary and Lloyd, is certainly worth the wait. Expect generously portioned Korean staples such as spicy bibimbap and bulgogi, served alongside regional comfort food.

The staff treated us so warmly the moment we walked in, the food was exceptional and was delivered quickly. Will most DEFINITELY be visiting again when I'm in the area. Very quaint and festive spot! Loved it.
Upscale and stylish, with exposed brick and a warm color palette, Terra has developed a following among local foodies who appreciate the cooking and the setting. Chef Mike Davis takes a seasonal approach to New Southern cooking, creating notable dishes such as roasted South Carolina quail stuffed with apple and foie gras, crawfish orecchiette, shrimp remoulade, seared scallops with succotash, BBQ lamb-stuffed mac and cheese gratin, plus a handful of gorgeous and unusual little wood-fired pizzas. Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence.
Experimenting with new sauces, rubs, and toppings every day, Southern Belly BBQ is sure to hit the spot and leave you wanting to try more unique creations. Make a pit stop here on your way to Williams Brice Stadium for some Carolina football and pick up some yum for all! Be prepared for your tailgate to be the talk of the town!
(803) 788-6966Yelp: 4 stars, 41 reviews The Solstice Kitchen is the kind of place you're looking to impress because from the décor to the menu, it works like a charm every time. The food is creative and modern with strong Southern influences, and never crosses the line into feeling too uptight. Your best bets are the spinach-walnut ravioli, the petit filet mignon (with fried green tomatoes, of course) the lobster risotto, or the goat cheese and bacon-tomato confit. You'll also find an extensive wine menu, which helped them earn the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Regardless of what you order, it will always exceed expectations.
Solstice Kitchen & Wine Bar is ideal for a business dinner or a date – when you want to impress, this is a fantastic choice. The menu has a little something for everyone, with starters, small plates, and full-size main courses. Standouts have included pan-seared scallops in preserved lemon-sage brown butter with spinach-walnut ravioli, a petit filet mignon with fried green tomato, goat cheese and bacon-tomato confit, whiskey-brined double pork chop, and lobster risotto. The wine list is extensive, and has earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Numerous by-the-glass options.
Fresh, local, and diverse. Here, the menu changes daily based off of what is fresh and seasonal. Offering a blend of contemporary American, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine, this is one place you'll want to grab lunch or dinner ASAP.
Yelp: 4 stars, 40 reviews The best pizza joint award is a highly-coveted but usually highly-controversial title. Although pizza is universally loved, the crust just ends up being one of those things that rarely works as one-size-fits all. But Dano's comes pretty close, which is how they get the crown for best pizza in columbia
Yelp: 4 stars, 140 reviews One of the first restaurants to help revamp the Vista district, Motor Supply has been building a great reputation and has become part of the backbone of this neighborhood since they opened their doors in 1989. The menu includes a great mix of American, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine and changes almost daily, so you know they're not kidding when they say they're fresh. You'll usually be able to find a great grilled steak or house-brined pork chops, neither of which you should miss out on. The cocktails are the real highlight here, though, which is saying something. They were recently voted as having the best cocktails in town, which is instantly believable once you watch mixologist Josh do his job.
Both locals and visitors alike love Columbia for its friendly, small-town feel in a big city. And if there's one thing that unites the city, it's a passion for great food. That's where Ruth's Chris comes in. We are proud to be one to top restaurants in Columbia, especially one of the top steakhouses. We provide our customers with the classic American steakhouse experience in a sophisticated setting. At our Columbia restaurant, no request is too great or too small – we strive to make our guests feel comfortable and to serve them a meal exactly to their liking.

Yelp: 4.5 stars, 17 reviews There isn't an appetizer to be found at Henry's that isn't good. From the spinach dip to the hush puppies, you'll think you died and went to bar food heaven. But considering that Henry's sells tapas plates, it would be more notable to mention the things on the menu which aren't good. So far, that list is zero lines long. But definitely don't leave without ordering one of the burgers, as they're among the best in town. Try to order something new every once in a while, though, because once you start eating here, the burgers are going to be a hard habit to break. And ordering a bacon double-cheeseburger for breakfast just doesn't seem logical – even by my standards.
I have worked in a coffee shop for a few years. I have learned that people are mean. People are very rude, and people who have never worked this job do not realize there is a specific way to order things. I am specific when I order my coffees off the clock. I figured I could share my advice with you all on how to order when at a coffee shop whether inside or in the drive-thru. Let's begin.
Yelp: 4 out of 5 stars on Yelp with 125 reviews You can find a steak almost anywhere. The problem is, you can't find a good steak just anywhere. So, when a cut of beef is up for order tonight, then you're going to want to know where to go. And that's the Blue Marlin. Half surf, half turf, this modestly classy restaurant serves up much more than the beef. The shrimp and grits are a favorite order, and keep your eyes out of the sesame-encrusted tuna or the salmon pontchartrain. You'll also find fire-roasted chicken and pasta dishes here, ensuring you'll be able to talk anyone into coming here, since there's something for everyone.
We had a great time. My adult niece with her two girls, my great nieces, came as a surprise for them to see a princess. They could have not been more blown away when Snow White walked up to the table. She was so attentive and so interested in them. She answered all their questions. We enjoyed the food and when the chocolate fondue dessert came, the girls were in heaven. I am so glad we found out about this event and that we could come.
The only thing better than the locals in Columbia, South Carolina is the local food. Ranging in cuisines from all over the world, the capital city is sure to provide you with a dining experience that will not disappoint. You will leave with a satisfying fullness in your belly and your heart! Check out a few of the best restaurants that you must try in Columbia, South Carolina!
I hear a lot of people talking smack about cinnamon raisin bagels, and I do not like it one bit. Cinnamon raisin, in my opinion, is by far the best kind of bagel, and the people who hate on them are simply too unsophisticated to comprehend the exquisite flavor that is found in each bite. If you are one of these cinnamon raisin haters, I hope that the following reasons will inspire you to add a little pizazz to your morning meal.
Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.
Yelp: 5 stars, 25 reviews Most people would agree that it's pretty hard to mess up ice cream. Even the worst stuff still tastes like two scoops of childhood. Sweet Cream Co. is two scoops of heaven drizzled with unicorn sprinkles. They make handcrafted sorbets, small batch ice cream, and organic frozen custards right on-site, mixing traditional and modernly creative flavors together, offering a little something for everyone to enjoy. You can also get a scoop put between two homemade cookies for one of the most decadent sweet sandwiches you'll ever try.
Ruth's Chris Steak House is proud to call Columbia, the beautiful capitol city of South Carolina, home. Ruth's Chris Steak House in Columbia is located in the heart of the city near the historic University of South Carolina, and one block from the South Carolina State House. The energetic and friendly personality of the city provides the perfect backdrop to the upscale American steak house dining experience at Ruth's Chris.
The signature Ruth's Chris sizzle is in full evidence at this respected chain's Columbia outpost. Notable for prime steaks, upscale decor, elegant but relaxed ambience, first-rate service, and an impressive wine list, the restaurant is ideal for business dinners and special occasions. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from shrimp cocktail and crab-stuffed mushrooms to broiled rib-eyes or chocolate sin cake. An exceptional meal from start to finish.
Yelp: 4.5 stars, 39 reviews If you've searched through the deepest, darkest corner of Columbia in pursuit of the perfect sushi place and have still come up empty-handed, that's only because you somehow skipped Inakaya Watanabe. Classy without being too upscale, Inakaya's offers the perfect experience for some sushi, sashimi, maki, specialty rolls, bowls of noodles, or just some authentic Japanese cuisine. With the highest quality fish and an extensive menu with a variety of delicious options alongside a menu of hand-selected wines and specialty beers, Inakaya's is the place you will continue to visit again and again whenever a fresh, Asian meal is calling your name.
Just like Saluda's, Mr. Friendly's is hidden away in Five Points, a historic area full of bars and galleries, known for its laid-back, hip vibe and popularity with the students at the nearby University of South Carolina. It was founded as a sandwich and cookie shop in the early 1980s, but since 1995, Mr. Friendly's has operated as a café serving 'new Southern cuisine'. Frommers even calls this award-winning eatery 'one of the finest and most innovative restaurants in South Carolina', with its gourmet versions of classic dishes. Try the pecan crab cakes, fried oysters, buttermilk fried chicken or the grilled filet mignon wrapped in bacon and pimento cheese. The café's whitewashed brick walls, covered in art, serve as the backdrop for a chilled-out afternoon.
Yelp: 5 stars, 8 reviews Mobile bratwursts. It's like a million people's dreams all got simultaneously answered in one big swoop of the food truck. The main cook is a German-trained master-chef. The Brats are cooked to a perfect pop, and the sides are cooked using only local foods. If what they want to make is something that they can't find in that particular region someday, then they decide on making something new instead of settling for sub-par ingredients. Check their Facebook account frequently to keep a running tab on where they are so that you never have to miss them when they're nearby.

I know that bagels aren't the healthiest choice of breakfast in the world, but I can sleep happy knowing that my cinnamon raisin bagels actually contain some nutritional value and can be enjoyed along with a balanced and healthy diet.
Everything about the meal was amazing, our server, Shayla. even brought us a sauce that didn't come with our spring rolls that paired amazingly. The steak was great and the pork chop was delicious! Thank you for a great night out Shayla!
Our bar opens daily, M-F at 4PM and 11AM on Saturday and Sunday. Our kitchen is open until Midnight Tuesday through Saturday and until 10PM on Sunday and Monday. We offer Saturday and Sunday Brunch from 11AM til 3PM.
Pawleys Front Porch is a South Carolina institution, with a branch in Mount Pleasant and one on Harden Street in Columbia. This burger joint is consistently nominated for local awards for its innovative burgers. Chef Kyle Taylor conjures up some unique combos that are bursting with flavour, such as the Isle of Palms burger, with homemade pimento cheese and jalapeno bacon, and Fripp Island burger, southern salsa, boursin cheese and fried green tomato. Keep an eye out for their award-winning food truck, which parks up at the Soda City Market every Saturday.
Southern cooking has a few trademark dishes, and Mr. Friendly's, under the same ownership as Solstice and Gervais & Vine, excels with a more upscale, occasionally innovative version of the classics. Crab cakes are pecan-crusted and served… Read More
Do you really want to be basic and get the same bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain or sesame bagel that everyone else gets? Cinnamon raisin bagels offer a chance for you to be unique and to maybe experiment with some new breakfast combinations that will spice up your morning and give you something to talk about with all your friends!
Motor Supply was the first restaurant to open in the revamped Vista district – a couple of decades in the business has only strengthened its reputation as a great place for a casually upscale meal. Menus change twice daily but usually include a grilled steak or two plus dishes such as house-brined pork chops, Dijon-fried eggplant over spinach and artichoke hearts, steamed mussels, and sautéed shrimp with ham and grits. Their wine list has garnered a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and their Sunday brunch is among the best in town.

Yelp: 4 stars, 101 reviews No matter what time of day it is, when you've got a hankering for breakfast, Café Strudel has become the place to go. Loaded with onions, peppers, cheese and two eggs, their Hangover Hashbrowns have become famous around town, especially with the college crew, as being the ultimate hangover remedy and, yes, you can order them all day. So, the late-risers never have to worry about catching the worm. The banana fosters French toast isn't known for curing hangovers, but it's one of the other most delicious things on the menu. You'll also find yourself a stellar coffee bar and much lighter options like a delicious smoked salmon bagel. If you come for lunch or dinner and are looking for something other than breakfast, order up the fish and chips or the Portobello mushroom with Havarti.
From the family behind Garibaldi's, another favorite of the Columbia dining scene, Cola's is a culinary destination for the true foodie. Located in a restored 1930s RC Cola bottling plant, with exposed brick walls and huge windows straight out of an Edward Hooper painting, Cola's has plenty of character. The two garage doors even open up to views of the antebellum Statehouse. The restaurant's name refers to building's old function, as well as the city's endearing nickname for itself. Cola's serves imaginative American cuisine with an Asian influence, with a focus on fresh and locally grown ingredients. Try the pulled pork BBQ egg rolls, almond crusted tilapia, and the crispy flounder, a dish originally made famous by Cola's sister restaurants at Dining Group South.
Our bar currently boasts over 350 whiskeys, most of which are bourbon, rye or Tennessee whisky. We also have a growing collection of whiskeys from other countries like Scotland, Ireland, Japan and Canada.
This is more for Dunkin'. Because hash browns, in reality, take the longest for us to get ready. So please when ordering don't ask for them at the window, please order at the speaker. We don't mind cooking them last minute but its inconvenient for you and our time.

Distributed (Online) Learning
Distributed (Online) Learning
Some courses are available via distributed learning (also known as Distance Learning, Online Learning or Distance Education). In this type of course, the instructor and the student are working together on a course but are physically located in separate places and connect via correspondence or technology. Distributed learning allows students to learn from home (or from within their community) while benefiting from the expertise of instructors. Different media are used such as print, audio, video and computer software. Although there are deadlines to meet, students can work at your own pace and focus on the topics that need more attention. Often distributed learning means that students can have more flexibility in their learning schedule. It is worth noting, however, that students still need to make a commitment to work hard and master the coursework.

Who will take the title of GTO of the Year?
UPDATE, 22nd September 2011: Andy Booth collected the title and pictured above is our winner and finalists. Pictured left to right: Colin Wilson from sponsoring company, Travelsphere; Mark Bradford, John Lewis Partnership; Jackie Hough, Isle of Wight Ramblers; winner Andy Booth, Sainsbury's Staff Association; Jackie Ring, The Unattached Group; and special guest presenter and TV star, Gary Lucy. For more information about the awards ceremony go to our Group Leisure Awards pages.
The time has come for the four worthy finalists of the Group Travel Organiser of the Year® Award 2011 to be revealed, with the winner soon to be announced at the Group Leisure Awards ceremony on the 21st September.
2011 marks the 13th consecutive year of the presentation of the Group Travel Organiser of the Year® Award. After selecting our GTO finalists from dozens of nominations and grilling each of the contenders, Group Leisure can now reveal the final four.
Nominated by the travel trade, fellow group members and other GTOs, the finalists were then shortlisted for a deciding interview in London, where the specialist panel deliberated over who would take this year's crown. As well as the prestigious title, the winner will receive £1,750 to spend on a familiarisation trip of their choice. Last year's winner, Pauline Johnson of Hinckley Social Theatre & Travel Club, spent her prize money on a tailor-made visit to northern Portugal, where she plans to return with her group next year.
The winning group travel organiser will be declared at the Group Leisure Awards, to be held on the evening of Wednesday 21st September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. To find out all the winners and to see photos from the ceremony, make sure you read the October edition of Group Leisure magazine and bookmark this website.
Read on to find out who has been shortlisted for the Group Travel Organiser of the Year® Award 2011, with each of our four finalists providing a short introduction to themselves and their groups.
Andy Booth
Sainsbury's Staff Association, Rye Park Depot
"I didn't ask for my current role as social secretary for Sainsbury's Staff Association at Rye Park Depot, but was almost held to ransom to accept it. The role was becoming vacant due to a number of committee members taking redundancy from the company, and the 'group' would literally fold if no one took it on. Step forward one Andy Booth.
That was seven years ago when the highlight of the Depot Staff Associations year was an annual three-night trip to Folkestone. Since then membership has increased by 25 per cent and I have organised holidays for groups of up to 80 to international destinations, including New York, Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal and Paris, even having time to slip in a Norwegian cruise.
I typically organise two events a month from West End shows, zoo visits and theme parks, but do one-off speciality events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed, or the British Speedway Grand Prix, when we stay at the luxurious Vale of Glamorgan Hotel & Spa, just outside Cardiff.
My ideas for my group trips come from lots of different sources. The internet, Group Leisure Magazine and membership of the GTOA arguably account for a high percentage, but information from members who have been to various places is invaluable in the making of a successful trip. I also listen to my members, as they give me ideas about anything new the S.S.A. should consider. It's their money anyway!
Once I get an idea, or make a decision to visit somewhere, I research it heavily for my group. I like to give them as much information about our trip or destination as I can so they can get as much out of their time when we arrive. Looking forward, we're going to take a football match in at nearby Stevenage FC, spend firework night at Legoland - oh, and go to Folkestone of course.
As for the future, at the moment I'm a volunteer, doing it for fun, and for me of course (I like travelling and exploring new places). When the fun stops, I'll know to call it a day. Can't stop now - I'm off to India for eight days in October...Yippee!"
Mark Bradford
Leisure benefits coordinator, John Lewis Oxford Street
"I began my role as leisure benefits coordinator at the John Lewis flagship store in Oxford Street eight years ago, having transferred from the John Lewis store in Kingston.
I got involved in group leisure having spent many years raising over £50,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, following the death of my wife. A friend suggested I considered this role and eventually it became available, so I applied.
My position within the branch involves providing a range of activities to suit the wide range of partners and I include four short-stay oversees trips, day trips, branch parties, quiz nights, theatre trips, a Diwali festival and themed nights; as well as larger events with other branches which have included exclusive hire of Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Madame Tussauds and Alton Towers, as well as Partners in the Park, Music Festivals and a Las Vegas night, all of which attracted thousands of partners from around the business.
I have a team of partners who act as leisure volunteers, who support me by helping to run events. I meet with them on a monthly basis to discuss what events are coming up and who will run some of these events. Each volunteer is given an events folder with all the information they require, including detailed itineraries and information on the surrounding area, and all are fully briefed on their role and the responsibility they have for the group.
With approximately three events a month, it is vital to have these volunteers supporting me within my role and coming up with ideas for future trips, as they act as ambassadors for the branch in talking with other partners about what trips they would like to see on the leisure calendar.
This position is full time, which enables me to deliver a leisure benefits package for the 2,300 employees who work in the branch. We also have over 23 clubs that partners can join for free, from Ski and Snowboarding, Photography, Music or Sailing to name but a few. There are also six residential properties we own across the country, which gives partners a chance to stay with their families at a subsidised price.
I am delighted to have been nominated as one of the four finalists for the Group Travel Organiser of the Year Award, and very proud to be working for the John Lewis Partnership and the team I represent."
Jackie Hough
Isle of Wight Ramblers
"A member of the Isle of Wight Ramblers for the past 30 years, I initially volunteered to become the walks programme secretary, which included day excursions by coach to the mainland, when I was asked to organise a walking weekend in Dorset. This was successful and with more members interested we progressed to a week's walking with Holiday Fellowship.
The millennium encouraged me to look further afield and Majorca was our destination. This was just the beginning of some wonderful group holidays abroad, whilst still enjoying our UK walking holidays, Turkey & Tinsel, and Christmas markets. Our day excursions and UK holidays are advertised in a newsletter that goes out to all 600 members, but places on international holidays are usually already taken by a similar group as the previous year, and any spaces are quickly filled by word of mouth. I send letters detailing the holiday, breakdown of cost with discounts, accommodation and timings at the deposit stage and then another letter with up-to-date information when the balance is due.
We like lakes and mountains and have walked in the Tramuntana in Majorca, Alpujarras and Pyrenees in Spain, the Italian Dolomites, Wilderkaiser in Austria, and the Julian Alps in Slovenia. Coming from an island, we do like our beaches and have combined walking and swimming on the island of Samos, the Istrian coast of Croatia, and I even took advantage of my daughter's wedding in Cyprus to take the group walking in the Troodos mountains, followed by a cruise to Egypt to see the Pyramids.
Some of these holidays have involved us being rather adventurous: white water rafting, canoeing, snorkelling, parascending, and last year a balloon safari in Kenya. Coming down to earth we also like visiting gardens; last year Stourhead, this year Bennett's Water Gardens, and next year the big one - Floriade 2012."
Jackie Ring
The Unattached Group
"T-U-G (The Unattached Group) is a social group for single people based in the Guildford, Surrey area. It was started 11 years ago and I have been a member for about six. The group offers a wide variety of social activities and friendship. We hold a pub night once a week, where we meet informally for a drink and chat, and then have a programme of social activities. We currently have almost 100 members, and I find that being in a group which is not too large means that we all get to know each other well.
I have been involved with organising social activities in the past - from being social secretary of a wine-making club to fund-raising activities for my children's school's PTAs, so when I joined T-U-G I was soon interested in being on the committee, and became chairman after a year. I have not only organised a variety of events myself, but in this role I have encouraged others to do so as well. I have also been instrumental in updating our insurance policy to ensure that those people organising an event are covered, and make sure that all members adhere to the new legislation regarding organising events. Although the main reason organisers arrange events and social activities is so that their members enjoy themselves (and we do too!) there is also a business aspect which does need to be taken seriously.
One of the first trips I organised was a long weekend in Venice, where we participated in a great event called Su E Zo Per E Ponti (Up And Over all the Bridges). I do try to think of different types of activities, and am always looking through magazines and picking up leaflets when I am out and about. I arrange theatre trips regularly, especially to London. Also popular are classical and pop concerts, places of interest - such as a tour of Ascot Racecourse, or day trips - such as to Paris on the Eurostar. I organise at least two holidays for the group each year. In the spring we rented a large house near the north Somerset coastal path for a walking week where I planned different levels of walks each day, and we are about to go on a mini-cruise to Holland. I often plan a Warner's weekend just after the New Year when we need cheering up in the dark evenings!
I do enjoy organising activities. I try to find new things for our members to do, but I have also got to know what their tastes are and what they like to do on a regular basis. It has also enabled me to do things I would not have done on my own."

As the tech world and SC's news took a focus on the Twitter/TechCrunch story this week, I have decided to look at the statistics from a few reports. At the beginning of this week I received the half yearly report from Marshall8e6, whose TRACElabs observed a 60 per cent increase in spam volumes from the last analysis, with spam now representing a full 90 per cent of all inbound email.
It also claimed that Rustock botnet emerged as the dominant force in spam output in 2009 and is responsible for more than 40 per cent of all spam sent so far this year, and that pharmaceutical spam is making up 75 per cent of all spam.
So in short, cybercriminals are using email as a main resource for sending spam, this is not really news to many of you whose inboxes are cluttered with messages from African princes, offers of hormone replacements or solutions to get out of debt now, but the huge rise does suggest that something must be going right for them.
Another story that rose from the Marshall8e6 TRACElabs report was how much 'penile dysfunction' spam was not only being responded to, but purchased by recipients. No wonder email continues to be such a popular form of sending spam when it is not only opened, but money is to be made from it.
As Websense Security Labs report for June showed, trending topics such as Michael Jackson's death and the Air France crash also helped boost email spam. Its report claimed that there 'was a big rise in the volume of malicious messages sent, and many companies were hit by spear phishing campaigns.'
Websense claimed that Jacko's sudden death was met with malicious messages using news of the event as a social engineering lure within just 24 hours of his death being confirmed. The report said: "Cybercriminals' use of event-based themes is something we are always tracking in Websense Security Labs."
Cyberoam and Commtouch jointly prepared a quarterly report for 2009 that also saw a sharp rise in the number of new viruses being circulated via email that it claimed major anti-virus engines were unable to defend against for several hours.
It claimed that one reason for the rise in such malware outbreaks is the appearance of aggressive new variants of several different Trojans for which major anti-virus products took anything between four to 80 hours time to detect the malware.
To prove that email spam really was a dominant factor, Cisco's midyear security report found that 180 billion spam messages were sent each day, representing about 90 per cent of the world's email traffic – inline with the TRACElabs findings.
It claimed that spam was 'one of the most established ways to reach millions of computers with legitimate sales pitches or links to malicious websites' and that spam 'remains a major vehicle for spreading worms and malware, as well as for clogging internet traffic.'
So away from email spam, Websense's report further claimed that there had been a number of Twitter vulnerabilities in June as hackers used trending topics and hashtags to spread links to malicious sites or rogue AV alerts.
This particular malicious trend was picked up by security blogger Aviv Raff, who claimed that July 2009 was the 'month of Twitter bugs' and he was aiming to raise the awareness of Twitter vulnerabilities and would publishing a new vulnerability every day of the month on http://twitpwn.com/, visit the site to see him keep his word so far.
Cisco identified three key trends in security, or highlights as it called it, that identified the Conficker/Downadup worm that threatened to hit on 1st April, the spiral of spam that related to public concern over H1N1 influenza (swine flu) and President Barack Obama's effort to make strengthening US cyber security a high priority for his administration as he looks to work with the international community and the private sector to leverage technology innovations to reduce cybercrime.
Finally Marshall8e6 TRACElabs noticed a rise in fake anti-virus, or 'scareware', campaigns with hundreds of variants or 'skins' circulating that is distributed via spam email attachments, links in spam, search engine optimisation techniques that elevate scareware websites in a user's search results and bogus accounts in social or professional networking sites, such as Twitter and LinkedIn.
From these vendor-specific reports it is easy to see a trend and I guess it is positive that all the companies are singing from the same hymn sheet in terms of threats, and how fierce they are. While there was no real desire to draw a conclusion from this week's musings, what I did want to show was what the identified threats were and how they have affected the industry.
After all, it is easier to do prevention after an attack so an assumption would be that in a month, three or six months time the figures will be lower and the world will be more secure.

|We went one row at a time talking about the pictures and what we thought would happen. The kids even wanted specifics as to what type of pen, if the rocks were from the playground or volcanoes and if the balloon was blown up or not!
Tuesday, we tested our predictions and recorded our results.
We discussed the importance of going one object at a time, and recording the results as soon as they are found and not trying to go back after doing them all at once.
At pink group, they took turns testing objects and recording data then sharing with the group. Everyone tested and everyone recorded, not just one person and copying.
After all of the groups did their experiment, we went over the results as a class to make sure everyone had the same results of the lab. The reporter from each group told us their findings and we discussed which objects were more buoyant that others.
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
This Week's Science ... WATER!
This week in science we are talking about water. The kids had different labs this week dealing with water. Their first lab dealt with buoyancy (buoyancy was our word of the week!) and seeing what types of objects will float and sink in water based on their density (another word we learned). Monday we made our predictions.

LEXINGTON COUNTY, SC - Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives on Wednesday, December 11 arrested a 44-year-old West Columbia man who was wanted on an arrest warrant that alleges that the man stole one utility trailer from outside a home on Scenic Drive near West Columbia on November 25 and stole one ice cream maker that was stored in a box at a home on Wire Road near Gilbert on December 10. The combined value of the utility trailer and ice cream maker was about $2,232.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said detectives arrested James Randolph Metze, 44, of 1911 Augusta Road, Lot 18, West Columbia, on an arrest warrant on a charge of grand larceny. Metze was booked at 8:36 p.m. on Wednesday at the Lexington County Detention Center, where Metze was being held on Thursday, December 12 while awaiting a bond hearing.
The arrest warrant alleges that at about 1:20 p.m. on November 25 Metze used a silver-and-blue 1987 Dodge Ram pickup truck to steal the utility trailer from outside the Scenic Drive home, Metts said. Detectives later found the Nostalgia Elect ice cream maker that was reported stolen from the Wire Road home in the bed of the pickup truck, which Metze was driving.
Metts asked anyone with information about additional criminal activity involving Metze to contact the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Man Missing at Sea for 66 Days Rescued by U.S. Coast Guard
After a South Carolina family reported their son missing at sea more than two months ago, a massive container ship spotted 37-year old Louis Jordan sitting on the overturned hull of his sailboat more than 200 miles off the Carolina coast Thursday afternoon.
A U.S. Coast Guard MH-60 airlifted the grateful Jordan to a hospital in Norfolk Virgina where he shockingly managed to walk from the helicopter with assistance.
According to the Virginian Pilot, he reportedly suffers from dehydration and a shoulder injury. Jordan says he survived by catching fish but the Coast Guard hasn't interviewed him yet to learn exactly what happened.
The Virginian Pilot has more on this incredible saga, as well as the moment when Frank Jordan finally talked to his son by phone after being rescued.
And his sailboat's name? Angel.

As previously announced, Catamaran Corporation will serve as the
new Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) and pharmacy claims processor
for the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP). Plans are for this
change to take effect May 24, 2013.
The PBM transition will affect pharmacy services rendered under
the fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems, including
the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP). Please refer to
BT201307 and
BT201312 for specific information on the implications of
the transition for providers. The technical components of the
transition information should be shared with software and/or switch
vendors to ensure all pharmacy claims are routed appropriately to
Catamaran beginning on the implementation date.
A transition of this magnitude requires a series of system
adjustments and a number of steps to implement. Pending any
unforeseen systems problems, the IHCP is currently on target to
meet the May 24, 2013 effective date. The status of the transition
timeline will be continuously monitored as the effective date
approaches. Providers are encouraged to watch for reports of
progress under News and Announcements on this website.
