Welcome to the City of Greater Geelong!
Imagine a waterfront city that can provide you with all you need for that perfect event, possessing both the sophistication of a capital city and warmth of regional hospitality.
Less than an hour's drive from Melbourne's CBD and Tullamarine Airport along the Princess Freeway, Geelong is beautifully placed with waterfront views of Corio Bay, immediate access to the world famous Great Ocean Road and charming wine growing region of the Bellarine.
With a population of 210,000, Geelong is Victoria's second largest city and a major provincial centre economically, culturally and socially for the surrounding region.
Geelong's history as a major wool-shipping port from the mid 1800s well into the 20th century has left a legacy of beautifully restored old buildings such as the revamped National Wool Museum and the Dalgety Wool Stores which have been transformed into a campus and headquarters for Deakin University.
Today, Geelong is a lively commercial city, with a newly renovated and rejuvenated central business district offering shopping facilities, restaurants and nightlife on par with any capital city – allowing your event's participants, families and supporters to access a little 'retail therapy'. The region is also rich with amazing touring options for all seasons.
The city's multi-million dollar drawcard, Waterfront Geelong, features many cafes and restaurants, fully restored art deco seawater baths, a yacht club marina and a scenic bayside promenade dotted with brightly painted bollards depicting many of Geelong's historical characters.
Professional venues, efficient support services and quality accommodation await you, with our events team dedicated to ensuring that your event and time in Geelong is both comfortable and stress free.
About Geelong: Your Host City
As a city, Geelong has a diverse mix of urban, coastal and country precincts.
Geelong's city centre offers quality shopping, sightseeing and dining all within easy access, thanks to the compact city design. Our waterfront is a hive of activity, with cafes, restaurants, a yacht club, marina, antique carousel and swimming pavilion attracting 1.6 million people every year.
There are many fine dining restaurants in Geelong featuring a variety of international cuisines using the freshest of local produce. We have many cafes, bars and pubs. Shopping is also a major attraction, with large centres and department stores alongside surf and skatewear retailers, fashion boutiques and specialist stores.
A wide array of arts and cultural attractions make our city one of Victoria's most vibrant communities, with a prominent theatre and renowned art galleries.
Almost 75 percent of the land in the City of Greater Geelong is classified as rural. We have played a major role in the development of the Australian wool industry, and our long association with this industry is celebrated at the National Wool Museum, in an historic bluestone wool store located in the city centre.
The Geelong region produces some of the finest food and wine in the country. A regular event, the Central Geelong Farmers Market showcases local organic fruit and vegetables, seafood, flowers, breads, cheeses and more. Wine is a local specialty, with over 20 local wineries in the area with cellar door tastings and restaurants serving fine food.
Our region is framed by water, from the north-facing shores of Corio Bay and Port Phillip Bay to the rugged coastline of Bass Strait. The original inhabitants, the Wathaurong people, named the area after their word 'jillong' meaning 'a place of the sea bird over white cliffs'.
Geelong's Bellarine Peninsula has much to offer, with plenty of sandy bay and ocean beaches where you can swim, snorkel, dive or surf. Golf is also a favorite Bellarine Peninsula activity, with first-class courses spread throughout the region.
We are on the doorstep of the world-renown Great Ocean Road, an historic road that hugs the Victorian coastline. The Great Ocean Road region is famous for its picturesque beaches, lush rainforests, small, quaint towns and breathtaking views.
Our history
Geelong was first surveyed and declared a town in 1838 with a local population of 545. The City's humble beginnings were founded in the rich pastoral hinterland and the prosperity of the wool trade.
By the 1850's Geelong was swept-up in 'gold fever' becoming the principal seaport for the gold industry around Ballarat. The City's population ballooned to more than 23,000 people, making Geelong the fourth largest town in Australia.
In the later half of the 19th Century, as the gold prosperity declined, Geelong turned its attention to emerging industrial development. The City became the major trading port for the export of wool to Britain and textile industries flourished along the Barwon River.
Following the establishment of Phosphate Coop and the Ford Motor Company, other international and national manufacturing industries moved to Geelong.
Today, Geelong enjoys a reputation as one of Australia's leading industrial centres. The City has also developed as a centre of excellence in the area of education, research and development, health, hospitality and tourism.
Our established calendar of events
It is well recognised around Australia that Geelong has one of the best calendar of events for any regional city.
Rowing is integral to this strength – with the Head of the Schoolgirls being the jewel in the rowing season crown.
A selection of our major events from our annual calendar includes:
- The Australian International Airshow;
- Jayco Bay Cycling Classic;
- Audi Victoria Week (formerly Skandia Geelong Week)
- Pako Festa (Victoria's largest multicultural festival);
- Geelong Multi Sport Festival (new in 2011);
- Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta;
- National Celtic Festival
- Toast to the Coast (food and wine).
In addition to our exciting annual events calendar, we also host a variety of national level sports events including:
- U16 and U18 National Youth Baseball Championships;
- Claxton Shield (national baseball series);
- WH Pincott Barwon Regatta (rowing);
- Tour of Geelong (cycling – including the Victorian Road Championships);
- Gatorade Triathlon.
Geelong has also been successful in our bid to host the 2010 UCI Road World Cycling Championships which will be a significant event for Australia.
We are also the home of the 'Cats' or the Geelong Football Club – the only regional Victorian team competing in the Australian Football League. The Cats play and train at one of our key assets, Skilled Stadium – a venue proposed for your event's use.
Our traditional land owners
The Wathaurong People
The traditional land owners of the Geelong region are the Wathaurong people.
The Wathaurong people gave Geelong as we know it today its name from their word 'jillong' meaning 'a place of the sea bird over white cliffs'.
The Wathaurong people have lived in the Geelong region for more than 25,000 years before white settlers arrived. Various clans had campsites in the area, moving about in search of food and water.
White settlement from the early 1800s had a devastating effect on the Aboriginal people. Sheep destroyed much of the root crops, which the Wathaurong depended on and introduced diseases cut a swathe through their people. Birth rates and clan numbers fell.
About 140 archaeological sites have been found in the region, indicating a significant level of activity of the Wathaurong people. Yollinko Park Aboriginal Garden on the banks of the Barwon River contains the remains of living mounds and food plants. It also displays giant representations of Aboriginal implements.
We work with the Wathaurong in the staging of major events in our region.
To recognise the traditional owners of the land, the Wathaurong can be invited to perform a Welcome To Country – either via a verbal presentation or a traditional story-telling dance.
Climate and travel times
With a temperate climate, the region enjoys four distinct seasons; warm summers, sunny spring, colorful autumns and mild winters.

This article was reported by The Edge.
The Edge reported that CDC launched a new national HIV prevention campaign, Start Talking. Stop HIV., that focuses on encouraging gay and bisexual men to talk openly about sexual health, HIV testing, and HIV status. The campaign includes videos, posters, a conversation cheat sheet, social media outreach, and an online question and answer forum.
Studies have found that open communication about sexual health does not occur in many relationships, even though research has shown these dialogues reduce risk behaviors. "Given the range of HIV prevention options available today, talking about HIV prevention has never been more important for gay and bisexual men," said Jonathan Mermin, MD, MPH, director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Mermin added that open discussions allow partners to choose what sexual health strategies work best for them.
The largest HIV population burden is among men who have sex with men (MSM), with nearly two-thirds of new HIV infections in the United States among this group. Young African-American MSM are at highest risk for contracting HIV. Risk notwithstanding, a recent CDC study found that more than one-third of MSM were unaware of their last sexual partner's HIV status.
CDC created the new campaign, part of its Act Against AIDS initiative, to combat American complacency about HIV and aims to reach all ages and races of MSM in any type of relationship. Informational material can be found at the campaign's Web site, www.cdc.gov/actagainstaids/campaigns/starttalking/index.html.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmyjames417 from Great product Before I write my review, I just want to let everyone know, I did smooth my skillets out at home. Meaning it no longer has the factory cooking surface on it, Prior to doing this, I had it for a month and it worked great. I just could not get over the texture of the cooking surface. I then decided to smooth it out using an angle grinder and a flapper wheel. It works just as good with the added benefit of a smoother surface. It took on my seasoning well after I smoothed it and has worked brilliantly since I modified it. Just keep it oiled, keep it seasoned, modifications are optional, but all in all, this is a great product.Date published: 2016-11-29Rated 1 out of 5 by Tawhite from My steak pan Much too heavy and is not non stick. Hard to clean. Sorry I bought it.Date published: 2016-11-24Rated 5 out of 5 by CookExtroidinaire from Thick cuts benefit from lodge cast-iron Grill Pan With a simple seasoning on the room temperature meat, on an oiled grill pan I brown the protein for about five to eight minutes on one side, then turn onto the other side, turn the stove off and pop the grill pan into a pre heated 350 degree oven for about 15 to 25 minutes depending on the volume of protein. Then I pull it out and let it rest for ten minutes on the grill pan on top of the stove. It comes out perfect every time. The pan also catches the drippings. The handles are easy to hold, the grill pan is the perfect weight and also super easy to clean and store. It was thoughtfully designed and almost instantly became one of my new favorites. To clean, sometimes I wipe it down with a paper towel, other times I rinse and scrub with water, a drop of soap and a brush or plastic pan scraper then dry immediately and rub oil with a paper towel.Date published: 2016-11-02Rated 5 out of 5 by Ateco845 from Excellent product This is a wonderful product. Food doesn't stick and it cooks up perfectly. Chicken and fish come out delicious and juicy. I'm somewhat new to using cast iron, so there is a bit of a learning curve. If you've never used cast iron before, do a bit of research about using it before you buy. Remember, oil the pan and heat it up until it is very hot! You can turn down the heat later, but the pan must be hot. Also, DO NOT PRESS DOWN on the food and DO NOT MOVE THE FOOD around, otherwise it will stick to the pan. You must let the food cook for a bit, a "crust" will be created and the food will release quickly and easily. After washing the pan, DRY IT IMMEDIATELY. This is a wonderful product and I recommend it.Date published: 2016-06-21Rated 5 out of 5 by darinrohrer from Wonderful Product Recently purchased this item and used it for the first time this week to make two KC strips. It worked well beyond my expectations. Simply brush on a small amount of veggie oil on the grill after it is super hot, brush your meat with a bit of olive oil! No sticking at all and perfect grill marks. Afterwards cleaning was simple (provided you don't wait along) just wipe it down with a paper towel, reapply some oil and be done.Date published: 2015-01-04Rated 1 out of 5 by Bioya1 from Worst Item I Ever Purchased At WS The woman in the WS store in Oak Brook said she swore by hers. I swear at mine. Have tried steaks, chops and burgers in the thing. As a cooking device, it is completely useless. Everything sticks to it. You cannot truly clean it so it actually smells rank after few days. It overcooks food. If I could figure out how to clean it, I'd return it. Since I can't clean it, its going into the garbage. A complete rip off.Date published: 2015-01-01Rated 1 out of 5 by tjfoster62 from very disappointed When my pan first arrived the handle was broken in half. I should have simply returned it for a refund but I exchanged it for at a store. I used it and although I oiled it and sprayed it first my boneless chicken stuck. I was unable to clean it completely and it is now rusted. I am going to have to make a trip back up the Mall to return it. I am very disappointedDate published: 2013-12-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Lbattlewins from Overjoyed with this purchase! I purchased this grille for my husband on fathers day because we are always going to the barbecue area of the community we live in. A friend suggested it after she saw it advertised. So, I decided to give it a try. Last night was our first time using it and we grilled some porkchops. All I can say is this grill is incredible! The markings the grill left on the porkchops were better than the barbecue grill. The heat evenly distributed so it didn't overcook and the flavor was absolutely wonderful. The next night we used it again to cook ribeye steaks, they were the best steaks that we have ever had. I can't wait to use it again. I can already tell it's going to be my favorite cookware. My family is in love with this grille and I'm so glad that I decided to buy it. Be careful the handle gets extremely hot so always use mits.Date published: 2013-06-23

Collagen in your skin is the connective tissue that causes elasticity and the amount of collagen controls skin breakdown and skin repair, too little collagen and the skin will breakdown with no repair, as you age when collagen in the skin is broken down faster than it is produced, you begin to age rapidly, thats what this collagen cream prevents, youre prevent, thin, lose and wrinkled skin by continued use of the cream, many collagen boosters dont work very effectively because they cause your body to over produce collagen you might at first thought think that is good surely, the more collagen your skin produces the younger you will look, what actually happens is the over production of collagen in your skin causes weak collagen to be produced which is unable to prevent the effects of ageing.

Nourishing plant extracts produce the collagen naturally which your body is able to readily absorb without rejection and without continued production of fine lines, wrinkles and thin skin, your ageing skin will get visibly younger as you use the cream and the collagen within your skin is replenished, other collagen production creams accidentally trigger the bodys natural response to fight the over production of weak collagen, this causes your skin to become puffy or sore, if you have experienced those side effects with a collagen cream then try this new smart cream for visible results.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Tuesday condemned a decision by Iran's foreign minister to place a wreath at the grave of a former Lebanese Hezbollah leader accused of perpetrating attacks that killed hundreds of people.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was photographed on Monday laying a wreath at the grave of assassinated Hezbollah military commander Imad Moughniyeh in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said in condemning the move that Moughniyeh had been responsible for "heinous acts of terrorism that killed hundreds of innocent people, including Americans."
"The inhumane violence that Moughniyeh perpetrated - and that Lebanese Hezbollah continues to perpetrate in the region with Iran's financial and material support - has had profoundly destabilizing and deadly effects for Lebanon and the region," Hayden said.
The condemnation came as the United States works with world powers to ensure Iran abides by an interim deal aimed at containing Iran's nuclear program.
"The decision to commemorate an individual who has participated in such vicious acts, and whose organization continues to actively support terrorism worldwide, sends the wrong message and will only exacerbate tensions in the region," Hayden said.

One of the questions I often get is how do I keep up with all of the different Websites. There is a huge amount of information out there on the Internet and it can be daunting to try to follow even one limited topic like online genealogy. However, there are a number of Web tools that make following blogs and other Websites manageable.
The most useful of these online tools is a "Reader." Also known as a feed aggregator, feed reader, news reader or simply an aggregator, this is a program, usually free online, that collects headlines or summaries of Web content such as blogs, news services, and podcasts in a list or other format for easy review. To quote Wikipedia, "The aggregator provides a consolidated view of the content in a single browser display or desktop application. Such applications are also referred to as RSS readers, feed readers, feed aggregators, news readers, or search aggregators. Aggregators with podcasting capabilities can automatically download media files, such as MP3 recordings. In some cases, these can be automatically loaded onto portable media players (like iPods) when they are connected to the end-user's computer."
Most blogs and many other Websites, supply a link to an aggregator or reader in the form of RSS or other XML-formatted data, such as RDF/XML or Atom. You usually find the feed link somewhere on the page and by clicking on the link, you can subscribe to the feed.
In order to see the feed, you need to install a reader program. I use Google Reader but there are a number of other programs out there, such as, Feedburner, Yahoo!, and many, many others. See Wikipedia for a list.
I use Google Reader on my iGoogle homepage and get a list of feeds. I must admit that the list grows almost every minute, especially when you subscribe to as many feeds as I do. From time to time, I just erase everything, especially when the list gets over 100 and I don't have enough patience to look at every feed.

You touched, in your last sentence, on one item of importance: We all need to learn to be selective and to weed through stuff, because there is an awful lot of stuff out there!ReplyDelete
I use Feed Demon on both my laptop and desktop machines, and am quite happy with it. I, too, often find myself hitting "Mark as read" on many items, because I just don't have time to read them all.
Sometimes we just have to say, "Too much information!"

Federal judge voids BISD contract
A contract entered into by the Beaumont Independent School District with HRE Inc. of Houston has been essentially voided by U.S. Judge Ron Clark, who entered a permanent injunction enjoining the district from doing any further construction work on the West Brook High School field house.
The order came after Judge Clark found BISD did not follow its own guidelines and competitive bidding laws by skipping over the No. 1 company assessed by its review committee to hire HRE, the No. 4 company.
Local attorney Mike Getz, along with attorney David Vann de Cordova, filed the case on behalf of their client L&L Construction of Beaumont on April 1. The board of trustees was served with the lawsuit the same day.
To remedy the problem, Getz said BISD will likely have to re-bid the project.
"This did not have to happen," he said. "They could have and should have put this thing out for bid as soon as football season was over, but they didn't. This thing was tabled twice in January, and at both times Parson's was recommending L&L.
"This is only the first part of this case because we believe our client was passed over because of race, which is a violation of the equal protection clause, that states you can't discriminate on the basis of race, period."
Cordova said he believes the company overseeing the district's $389 million bond initiative, Parson's, and BISD conspired together to move HRE to the top of the list. One reason for that might have been because of an outburst by BISD board president Woodrow Reece relating to the ethnicity of contractors in BISD.In January, Reece threatened to fire Parsons for not hiring "black folk."
"You have a board that feels uncomfortable with what going on. You know? Parson's, yeah we hired them but the same way you hire, you fire," Reece said.According to the judge's ruling, HRE Inc. is allowed to secure the site and remove its property but cannot do any more work.
BISD's attorney Melody Chappell told local media outlets the board selected HRE because it knew its background and because HE was the lowest bidder.HRE's history with BISD was sketchy, with Parson's stating HRE had stopped work on a project and not followed program guidelines, which unnecessarily cost BISD taxpayers money.
"Notwithstanding the above, BISD and HRE may, without violating this injunction, take action to secure the job site and remove any construction equipment therefrom, and BISD may take such actions as are necessary, and in accordance with state law, to award a proper and lawful contract," Clark wrote in his ruling.

Will Ferrell's marathon publicity campaign for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" has landed his Ron Burgundy character everywhere from car commercials to actual newscasts, which is the last place his pompous creation belongs.
As Ferrell put it during a rare recent appearance as himself at New York's 92nd Street Y: "He's terrible... He's not a good newsperson.
Burgundy, though, is exceptionally good at making us laugh (at him, never with him). But far more than cheap laughs fuel what we'll call "Anchormania": The buffoonish Burgundy, who tells viewers to "stay classy," helps us to stay silly.
With Burgundy, Ferrell is riding, to an extent, a current wave of the comedy of the uncomfortable. But unlike, the humor of, say, Larry David, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais, we're somehow not squirming in our seats as blowhard Burgundy stomps across nightclub tables while tooting jazz flute. Instead, we're enjoying the ridiculous, anti-social trip.
While a pint of Guinness with Gervais' David Brent might be a slow pour, a scotchy scotch scotch or three with Burgundy and his gang might be fun. His entertainment value is tied to his goofy outrageousness.
Ferrell possesses a rare, perhaps underappreciated talent for sustaining films built around cartoonish protagonists with little surface likeability – from Ricky Bobby of "Talladega Nights" to Brennan Huff of "Step Brothers." It's an ability he shares with the master of the genre: Steve Martin, who made the title character of "The Jerk" into a comedy-movie icon.
Even if most Ferrell screen alter egos arrive as jerks, he projects an almost comforting innately decent, man-child-like quality, as best seen in his family friendly turn a decade ago in "Elf." Ferrell's appeal, along with the gags, keep us watching – in some cases, again and again.
Burgundy, with his 1970s porno star mustache, has grown on us since "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" was unleashed in 2004. The movie, initially not a huge hit, attracted a cult following that's made the sequel probably the most anticipated – and certainly most heavily promoted – movie comedy of the year.
Credit Ferrell and partner Adam McKay with creating a throwback character who was ahead of his time. The 1970s newsroom satire came as the Jon Stewart-led "Daily Show" won its second Peabody Award, solidifying the program as the strongest fake news-fest since Chevy Chase first sat behind the "Weekend Update" desk in 1975, during the fictional Burgundy's glory years.
In 2005, Stephen Colbert upped the ante by expertly playing an arrogant commentator night after night. A year later, Seth Meyers followed Ferrell's former "Saturday Night Live" cohorts Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to "Weekend Update." By the time he leaves in February to take over "Late Night" for "Tonight Show"-bound Fallon, Meyers will have served the longest and perhaps most influential "Update" stint.
That's all evidence that the news game, which has changed vastly in the years since we met Ron Burgundy, is particularly ripe for parody. The new movie puts Burgundy and his team smack in the early 1980s advent of the all-news network cable era, which seems quaint in our Internet-driven world.
Less quaint is the pre-PC, sexist, male-dominated culture that "Anchorman" lampoons. The original film is less a celebration than a funny evisceration of a moronic machismo that's (hopefully) dissipated over the years (though we would love to see the Fox News, CNN and MSNBC crews rumble "West Side Story"-style, ala Burgundy and his rival San Diego news teams).
Ferrell gets away with risqué and potentially offensive humor by playing a harmless fool (and the flute), and by giving us a strong character in Christina Applegate's Victoria Corningstone, who found something to love in the goofy egomaniac that is Ron Burgundy.
Ferrell's also smart enough to surround himself with actors equally adept at playing clueless bumblers, including Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Steve Carell, who softened the edges in forging his version of Gervais' character in the US edition of "The Office" while never dulling the humor.
If nothing else, Ferrell's endless "Anchorman 2" promotional campaign shows us he's willing to put serious work into making us revisit a character no one should take seriously. As we wait to see whether the flick delivers delight in the afternoon (or any other time of day), check out a preview below:

YES! But How? Propagating Plants
There is—many organic gardeners suggest using "willow water" instead of commercial rooting hormone to get cuttings started. Studies suggest that it works because of a synergistic combination in willows of a growth hormone and salicylic acid.
To make willow water, collect new growth from willow branches, cut into small pieces, immerse in warm water, and soak for at least 24 hours.
There are encyclopedias describing the best propagation methods for individual plant species, but here's the basic process for the casual gardener. Morning, when plants are "rested," is a good time to take cuttings.
Take a clipping 4-6" long from the plant by cutting less than an inch below a node (where the leaf attaches to the stem). Remove the leaves from the bottom two nodes of the clipping, and soak the stem in the willow water for an hour.
Plant your cutting in soil that is light enough to allow easy root growth. (A recipe for making your own sterile soil mix is given below.) Place the cuttings in a spot with natural light, and cover them with plastic or an upside-down jar to keep the soil moist.
In a few weeks, when the roots have grown, you will have new plants for free.

Today was another day for those to take in the festivities that the KPWT Ocean Spirit offers other than wind.
There was beach volleyball, surfing, the kayak competition and a pool in which to learn how to kayak.
The riders had the chance to get free massages, spend some time relaxing in the Jacuzzi or just enjoy the sun and catch up on some sleep.
At 18h00 the sunset stage hosted Emilbus to introduce us into the evening and end the beautiful day on a good note.
The excitement is building for the festivities tomorrow night and the local band, Buraka Sound System that promise to entertain us all, with their Indie Rock sound! Over 10 000 people are expected to come to the event site for the 21h00 start!
After the wonders of day 4 of the competition it seems we will have to wait another day for some good wind and big swells. Forecast looks good tomorrow with wind coming down from the North so let's hope we get some first-rate swell and another good day of kitesurfing!
