We have all seen some widget or other on late night television and said out loud to the TV, "I thought of that 5 years ago!" Well, we actually did, but unlike the seller on the tube…we procrastinated and never followed through.
We've all done it!
Still others are brimming over with ideas and share them with everyone hoping that someone will back them in some product venture…failing because they never researched to find out it had been on the market for years somewhere else.
Then, there are the quiet people who find a unique opportunity, research it, check the marketability, production costs, etc. and begin producing something useful. Maybe, it was initially started on a shoestring or just maybe someone in a better economic position bought enough of the product to create a successful venture.
That's what happened to Time Challenger Labs International, Inc., a successful Texas and Ecuadorian company that started business in 2005 (originally under a different name) and landed a Network Radio Distribution deal where their product is advertised throughout 9 hour day radio programs. (Live for 3 hours in the U.S. and rebroadcasts worldwide 2 times later that day via shortwave.)

That title sets you up …doesn't it?
Everyone knows what aging is…right?
It's what happens to every single person that has now or will every live. That is true, but it still does not tell anyone what AGING really is or why it happens.
Let's lay it all out: Science now knows that AGING is nothing more than starving to DEATH slowly.
"WHAT? Granny gets her meals every day…so does Grandpa, Uncle Howard and Aunt Bessie!!! They are not starving!!!" At least that is what their friends and relatives would say. They would be WRONG. They are starving to DEATH. Most likely…so will I….and so will you….
How can this be? Very simply….the slow death of one's Mitochondria. And, it is a SLOW death.

Should You Seek A Trustee Position?
If you have been considering a run for an open position as a school trustee, like Katharine Hamilton, and have been nominated, you may have a sincere feeling of commitment to the school you work with. However, there are some qualities you'll need in order to do a good job and to retain the respect of everyone on campus. Ask these questions of yourself to get a better idea of whether you should seek a trustee position.
Am I Well-Liked By Board Members?
To win any election, people have to know that you can do the job. However, it will also help if you are well-liked by those whose votes you'll have to earn. You likely already have a good idea of whether members of the board think you're a good fit or not, but it's important to be honest with yourself about whether they like you enough to vote for you. If you don't feel well-liked right now, don't despair; you may still be a good trustee. You'll just have to sway voters with your ideas and by presenting yourself as well-informed, passionate and dedicated. Even if you feel well-liked, however, don't think you're a shoo-in; you've still got to show that you bring something new to the table.
Do I Have the Time?
While it's flattering to be nominated to a trustee position, that doesn't necessarily mean that it fits in well with the rest of your life at this time. You've got to decide whether you'll be able to set aside enough time for the financial, academic, and other issues that will arise over the period you'll be serving. If you can carve out sufficient time in your schedule for preparing for meetings, talking with different departments, and managing other responsibilities, you may decide to move forward with the election and be able to serve with distinction.
Who Do You Know On Campus?
To make yourself an attractive candidate for the trustee position, you've got to show that you have a solid understanding of the issues and concerns of people at every level on campus. Do you know a lot of the teachers? Have you spent any time with students? Have you had a conversation with anyone on the janitorial staff? If so, your ability to communicate with and understand many people can be valuable in a trustee position, and you could be an important voice for everyone.
After asking the questions here and talking to others about your chances, you may decide to run for trustee at your school. Make sure that you honestly outline your strengths and give specific examples of how you would best serve the school so that you have a shot at winning.

We learn by a "circular" printed at the Rat Journal office, and addressed to the "colored citizens of the State of Indiana," that the said "colored citizens," are about taking measures to hold a State Convention at terre Haute, for the purpose of appointing delegates to a National Convention. For what purpose the National Convention is to be held, unless it is to second John Q. Adams, and his Whig coadjutors in their attempt to dissolve the Union, we know not.It may be that considering their success in the late Presidential campaign, through the influence of money, hard cider, debauchery and amalgamation, they hope to impose upon the country a "colored" President, should Clay's prospects appear slim, who would be "headed" easier than Captain Tyler. We warn the lovers of the country to be on the look out for this new Whig movement.
That no misunderstanding may exist, we conclude to publish the circular just as we received it fresh from the Journal office. Here it is:
To the Colored Citizens of the State of Indiana
The friends of Philadelphia having called on the colored citizens of Indiana to co-operate with them in getting up a national convention, to be composed of colored representatives, elected and sent from the different States, our brethren of Madison in Jefferson county have honorably espoused the call. The deep interest and ardent philanthropy which led our afflicted brethren to such a train of considerations signalized the meeting held by the brethren of Madison, by whose kindness we were favored with a minute of said meeting.
Pursuant to the above, a meeting was held in the African M.E. Church, in Indianapolis, Marion county, Indiana, on the 17th of January, 1842, to take into consideration the propriety of getting up a State convention, which our Madison brethren had not taken into consideration. We regret that they did not consider the expediency of co-operation through the means of a State convention, and we wish the public to understand the whole subject.
Though we wish to be understood that we appreciate the manly proceedings of our Madison friends, we hope, nevertheless, that they will concur with us in getting up a State convention, and let the national delegates be then elected.
The meeting was called to order by J. G. Britton. Turner Roberts was called to the chair, and A. J. Overalls was appointed secretary. Prayer was
then offered by Jesse White, beseeching the God of all goodness to accelerate our weak but willing faculties.
John G. Britton was then called on by the chairman to read the circular from Madison, and state the object of the meeting. He made some very appropriate remarks, and was followed by several other gentlemen.
On motion of J. G. Britton,
Resolved, That the different committees be appointed by the Chair, which was adopted.
On motion, Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to draw up a statement of the business done at the present meeting and prepare resolutions for the next; which resulted in the appointment of Allen E. Graham, John G. Britton, and Jesse White to said committee.
Resolved, That we concur with our Madison friends in the fundamental doctrine as stated in their circular, to wit, that we believe no well informed colonizationist is a devoted friend to the moral elevation of the people of color.
On motion of J. G. Britton,
Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to determine when and where the State Convention shall be held, and report the next meeting.
Willis Brown, O. Mifflin, A. Turner, O. Stuart, and J. Tucker, were appointed said committee.
On motion,
Resolved, That we do wholly and solely believe our friends, when they tell us the importance of a general union among our people.
J. White arose, and made some appropriate remarks on the subject of resolution, and was followed by Mr. T. Roberts.
Resolved, That in our opinion meeting in State convention will be a great means of producing a general union among our people.
Resolved, That we invite all our friends to lend us their influence in getting up a general union among our people.
The meeting then adjourned to meet again at the same place, on the 21st instant.
T. Roberts, Chairman. A. J. Overalls, Sec.
January 21, 1842.
The colored citizens met pursuant to adjournment.
The meeting being called to order, prayer was offered by the Rev. A. E. Graham.
It was moved by A. E. Graham that the Rev. T. Roberts be appointed Chairman and A. J. Overalls Secretary. Agreed to.
On motion of J. G. Britton, the proceedings of the former meeting were read by the Secretary.
The chairman then called upon the committee of five, appointed at the last meeting, to bring forward their report relative to the time and place of holding the convention, when
A. Turner, chairman of the committee, reported that, in the opinion of the committee, the first Monday in May next would be the most convenient time at which to hold the State convention, and the place Terre-Haute.
The report was accepted and the committee discharged.
On motion, the meeting resolved itself into a committee of the whole, for the purpose of electing a committee of three, to be called the central committee.
G. Britton, A. E. Graham, and V. Morgan were elected said committee.
On motion, it was Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the Central committee to correspond with our brethren throughout the State, and with the different committees which may be hereafter appointed.
The meeting then went into the election of delegates, which resulted in the choice of John G. Britton, John Crowder, A. E. Graham, T. Roberts, and N. Morgan.
On motion of J. G. Britton,
Resolved, That we will co-operate with our brethren in Philadelphia, by getting up a State convention, and appoint delegates to represent us.
After a warm and patriotic address from A. E.Graham, the meeting adjourned.
T. Roberts, Chairman.
A. J. Overalls, Secretary.
P.S. Since our last meeting J. G. Britton received a letter from the colored friends of Terre-Haute. They have had a large meeting, and invite the friends to hold the convention at Terre-Haute. They have appointed a committee to prepare a room for the convention to meet in, and three delegates, and passed a resolution to entertain the delegates free of charge. We highly commend their liberality and patriotic spirit. They have also appointed J. G. Britton corresponding secretary for the State of Indiana.
Indiana State Sentinel, March 4, 1842.

D. N. McDOWELL, } Vice Presidents.
W. T. Boyd, } Secretaries.
Rev. JOHN A. WARREN, Chaplain.
The report was received and adopted, and the above officers took their seats.
The President appointed Mr. John Manly Door Keeper, and then arose and addressed the Convention as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: I am fully aware of the honor you have conferred upon me to preside as Chairman over this deliberative body of the Colored Americans of Indiana, now assembled in convention for the purpose of discussing subjects of a grave and important character. Gentlemen, we have been called together at a period of great excitement; at a time when the whole State is in commotion in regard to our
race. For, on Monday next, is the annual State election, which, I have no doubt, from the best information that I can gain, will endeavor to seal the destinies of the Colored Americans of this State by at least thirty thousand votes against us.
Gentlemen, I believe that this Convention will produce a new epoch in the history of the Colored Americans of Indiana; and I truly regret that your choice has not decided upon one who, from his experience and knowledge of parliamentary rules would be more able to discharge the duties that will be required upon this occasion than myself. This is the second Convention of any note that I have had the privilege of meeting in, and the first time that I have ever been called to the chair, to preside over a body of this magnitude. I would ask to be excused were it not that I do not wish to be considered remiss in the performance of any duty assigned me by my fellow citizens, especially when our liberties are at stake. Without any further apology, gentlemen, I will impartially endeavor to discharge the duties assigned me to the best of my ability.
Gentlemen of the Convention, and Fellow Citizens; before I take my seat you will permit me to say to you, that there are several important subjects which I trust will claim the undivided attention of this Convention. And, as I shall be confined to the chair during the sitting of this Convention, you will permit me to lay before you, a few important subjects, which I had contemplated introducing for the consideration of this Convention.
1st. As Colored Americans, we are entitled to all rights, privileges, and immunities of citizenship as other citizens according to the letter and the spirit of the United States.
2d. We are deprived of those inherent rights, set forth in the Declaration of Independence, and confirmed by the Constitution of the United States, all of which have been conferred upon foreigners that come into this country.
3d. Industry, Education, and Temperance should claim the undivided attention of each and every delegate of this Convention.
4th. The proposition of England to the Colored Americans of the United States, to immigrate to the island of Jamaica, and the kind and friendly manner we are received in Canada.
5th The American Colonization Scheme, I do hope will claim the special attention of this Convention, as it has been going the rounds through the public papers, that the colored people of Indiana had called a Convention for the purpose of deciding in favor of emigrating to Liberia.
6th and lastly. A response to the call for a National Convention, the time and place of holding it, and the propriety of electing delegates to represent the Colored Americans of Indiana in said Convention.
With these remarks, gentlemen, I will take my seat, hoping that the great Creator of all mankind will bless our efforts on this occasion.
The convention then proceeded to business as follows:
On motion, it was

Dollar holds near 20-month low
Monday, 04-December-2006
TOKYO (Reuters) -
- The dollar fell to a fresh 20-month low against the euro on Monday, carrying over its weakness from late last week, when soft U.S. factory data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next year.
While the dollar later pared losses as traders shed some long-euro positions, expectations for narrower rate differentials between the United States and the euro zone would likely keep hurting the dollar, market players said.
The U.S. currency slumped on Friday after the Institute for Supply Management's survey of U.S. national manufacturing in November showed a contraction in the factory sector for the first time in three and a half years.
The ISM's key index fell to 49.5, the first time below 50 -- which indicates shrinking activity -- since April 2003. A dip below 50 has historically been a reliable predictor of Fed rate cuts, analysts say.
Besides the weak U.S. data, relatively mild reactions from European officials toward the euro's strength as well as expectations for further credit-tightening in the euro zone augur well for the euro, said a trader for a Japanese trust bank.
"A rate rise by the European Central Bank this week is considered virtually certain, and if ECB President (Jean-Claude) Trichet says something positive afterwards about raising interest rates next year, the euro could see further gains," the trader said.
After rising to a 20-month high around $1.3370 in early trade, the euro pared gains to stand at $1.3325 as of 0350 GMT. That was down slightly from around $1.3335 in late U.S. trading on Friday.
Vague market talk that sovereign names, probably Asian, may have sold euros above $1.3350, might have helped push the currency off its highs, said a senior trader for a major Japanese bank.
The euro continued its run of record highs against the Japanese currency to hit 154.14 yen on electronic trading platform EBS, before dropping back to 154.05 yen .
French Budget Minister Jean-Francois Cope said in an interview broadcast on TV5 television and Europe 1 radio on Sunday that the euro is "slightly strong" but is not hurting growth.
The euro had received a boost on Friday after news agency Market News International quoted central banking sources as saying that the euro would have to climb some distance before the ECB grew nervous about its impact on exports.
One source was reported to have told Market News that the ECB threshold is as high as $1.55.
Sterling pulled away from a 14-year high of $1.9849 hit on Friday to stand at $1.9785 .
The dollar was at 115.65 yen , erasing its losses after falling to session lows around 115.10 yen. It hit a four-month low of 114.97 yen on Friday on EBS.
Traders said the dollar would likely continue to take its cues from the outlook for rate differentials.
Currently, eurodollar futures imply that traders expect the Fed to conduct up to three quarter-point rate cuts by the end of 2007. U.S. benchmark short-term rates are now at 5.25 percent.
By comparison, the ECB is widely expected to raise rates by 25 basis points to 3.5 percent at a policy-setting meeting on Thursday and another 25 basis point increase is seen likely in February or March.
In addition to the ECB, the Bank of Canada, the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Bank of England are all due to make rate decisions this week.

One Woman's Courage
Published January 28, 2018
WINDOW ROCK – Details gathered by a Diné kidnap victim who managed to keep alert despite being drugged, sexually assaulted, burned and beaten led Phoenix police to arrest Jonathan Rouzan, 33, a suspected serial rapist and possible sex trafficker earlier this month.
Deanndra Yazzie, 19, says she was trapped in Rouzan's home from Dec. 18 to 20, during which she paid careful attention to his phone conversations and memorized his name from papers he had lying around. After escaping she was able to point out Rouzan's home on Google maps and provide his correctly spelled name, a detailed description and other information to police, which led to his arrest on Jan. 4. Rouzan was indicted by a Maricopa County grand jury Jan. 12 on 33 counts of kidnapping, sexual assault and aggravated assault. He is being held without bail.
When one considers she had no food or water and was drugged with heroin, methamphetamines and vodka for most of the time she was locked in the closet, Yazzie's presence of mind is nothing short of remarkable.
"The police were surprised," Yazzie recalled in a phone interview from her home in the Phoenix area. "They said most girls kind of go blank and can't remember anything after going through something like that."
Yazzie attributes her attention to detail to her father, who warned her from an early age that as a woman, she would be vulnerable. "He said, 'Men are going to want to do things to you,'" she recalled. "'The best thing you can do is pay attention to your surroundings at all times.'"
Yazzie's nightmarish ordeal started on Dec. 18. She was babysitting for some friends when they came home around 9 p.m. Yazzie reported there was no food in the house and the kids were hungry. "We decided to go to the store, but they needed a ride," she said. "They called a friend of theirs to drive us." Yazzie thought it was strange that, when Rouzan picked them up, her friends got in the back seat, leaving her to sit in front with Rouzan, whom she had never met.

It seems that many people have learned a profession they don't like. And many people don't have a profession and are afraid to pick one.
In yesterday's money workshop we had both kinds...
Interestingly there was some commonality in the underlying attitudes.
One attitude was something I could call stingy, but it may not be the right word.
The commonality was: I want certainty BEFORE I'd do anything out of the box.
And it seems that all the people on the call were withholding their power, their energy, their love, their curiosity, the adventurousness by demanding or expecting of the Universe to give them certainty ahead of time.
When I compare that with my attitude, or the attitude of some people who live a life I admire, our attitude of not sparing ourselves stands in sharp contrast to this self-sparing attitude of my students.
I never asked myself, or not really, if it is worth it. The effort, the trouble, the risk... I always considered that I'll make it worth it.
And sometimes I did, and other times I didn't.
Not everything has be worth it right away. Some things become worth it decades later.
I have competed in six sports. All individual. I wasn't good enough in either, but I find it that your ability for self-awareness is nothing or not much unless you are aware where your body parts are, what is your posture, and how wide is your cone of vision... all impossible to get without some kind of serious sporting activity.
In addition to competing, i also sailed, rowed, kayaked, climbed trees, pantomimed, danced on stage, etc...
Without these physical experiences I would have never become the empath I am.
Sometimes we learned one profession but we want to change... and it is not that easy...
Here are two examples: one is my own, the other is a student of mine...
In the end I'll ask for your input... please be generous.
After I came to the USA, I worked as an architect for about 30 months.
First I scoured the help wanted ads, and went on an interview with a prestigious Midtown Manhattan firm. They were impressed with me, my experience, and hired me on the spot with a salary that was four, nearly five times higher than what I made in Israel.
On my way out I passed pictures of their completed projects and realized that this job would have no integrity for me: I would be ashamed to say I was part of those projects. So I went back and told them...
I worked for half of that money for the rest of the 30 months, but at least I had integrity... by that time I learned that without integrity nothing works. Integrity between me and myself.
Then I was fired because I could not lie to cover up some scam... doesn't matter why.
It was time to start something new. I was 40 years old, and penniless. No family, no savings, no government support. 1
I did the skill finding exercise from the What Color Is Your Parachute, and it helped me to find direction: putting ink on paper and communicate.
I decided that publishing magazines is a good match to "putting ink on paper and communicate", so I applied to two local rags, pennysavers, for a job. 2
Both companies were willing to hire me as an advertising sales person.
That is not what I had in mind, that is a skill I had no experience in, but I accepted the positions. You start where you can... I know many CEOs who started in the mail room or as a janitor... so why not. 3
Now, I am sharing this with you because a student of mine wants to work in the hospitality business... and the only job she has been offered is "corporate sales".
Shall I support her taking that job?
If it had been me: I would not have taken the job.
Taking an advertising sales job, where you go from one store to the next, create relationship with them, help them set up their ad, watch for the results with them... that was closer to "putting ink on paper and communicate" than any "corporate sales", dealing with people who are just doing a job, but don't have any vested interest in the outcome... Just a job.
Can't stand it. Can't stand people who do jobs like that. Orwell's 1984 for me...
My student is shy, and very self-conscious of what people think of her.
What do you think? Can you offer some suggestions?
PS: I do this work, one-on-one, in writing, with select people. The price is $100. Email me if you want to know what are your portable skills. Coaching with voice: $25/15 minutes... Probably 300-400 dollars, if you are good and coachable.
PPS: What holds you back is stinginess. Being stingy is based on false economy. You can't hold onto anything... It's all in a day's work. When the day passes your account empties. Energy you don't use won't be available the next day.
The only non-renewable resource is your time. Unless you make it enrich you, you live an impoverished life. Make your time on earth count... build something, build yourself. That is your job.
- I had one thing I invested in months earlier when I had a temp job: I did a really good job there, and I did it with enthusiasm and energy. That company asked me for 2-3 days work of job every month for the next 6-7 months, and that is how I paid my bills, that is how I could eat. Rice, beans, calves' heart. That was my diet... about two dollars a day, $60 a month.
But before I did that, I apprenticed with a printer, designed ads, wrote ads... I learned and practiced the skills I thought were useful for the new field I was attempting to break into. I did it for free. Eight hours a day. Much like college students do... except I didn't do it for the credits, I did it as an investment, to learn a skill.
Since then I learned that Lao Tzu, three thousand years ago, said: Do what's difficult when it's easy. I was jobless... and instead of hanging out, I used the time to add tools to my tool box. I had a direction, and I needed tools so when I get to the place where I do the "publishing" whatever that was, I would have the tools.
Even in those first jobs I volunteered to do work I wasn't paid for. Delivering magazines. Putting the magazines together. Writing Dining Reviews, which taught me an awful lot about using language in a way that people would want to try what I was talking about... the food. lol.
- I also met another architect in Germany in 1980, who sold advertising for the Yellow Pages. This is how he sustained himself between architectural assignments... And I remember respecting him for it.

August 31, 2018 - After five years of operating the Montana Pond Hockey Classic in Kalispell, MT, the Pond Hockey Classic will not return in 2019. In 2013, the PHC partnered with the Kalispell Convention and Visitors Bureau to bring a pond hockey style tournament to the Flathead Valley. The vision for the event was to bring a successful tournament, similar to the ones hosted by the PHC in the Northeast, to the region during the winter months. The event grew from 50 teams the first year to over 75 registered for the 2018 tournament. Unfortunately, over the five-year existence of the tournament, the PHC was forced to cancel the event twice and move locations once due to mild temperatures and unsafe ice conditions.
"This was a very hard decision for us to make," said Scott Crowder, PHC Commissioner, "we have fallen in love with Northwestern Montana, the teams who competed in our events and the community who welcomed and supported us since 2014. When we were able to host the tournament at Foys Lake, the experience was amazing, unfortunately, three of the five years we weren't able too."
The Pond Hockey Classic and the Kalispell CVB have been committed to the success of the tournament, having moved the event from the third weekend in February to earlier in January after the relocation and cancellation of the tournaments in 2015 & 2016. This looked to be the proper move, with the 2017 tournament being played, as scheduled on Foys Lake, however, 2018's inconsistent temperatures forced another cancellation this past January.
"We applied a great deal of creativity trying to determine a safe, enjoyable way to hold the Classic. But there was no way to ensure that weather wouldn't again undermine the event," said Diane Medler, Director, Kalispell Convention & Visitor Bureau, "While everyone understands the unpredictability of weather, we decided not to continue an event that could possibly give people negative feelings about planning a trip to Kalispell."
The Pond Hockey Classic and the Kalispell CVB spent the last six months searching for alternative locations and potential options to continue the tournament into 2019. Smaller bodies of water were identified, the construction of manmade ponds and backyard rinks were researched, even the acquisition of land in the Flathead Valley was pursued. All options had various pros and cons and financial requirements, however, all options still posed the weather variable.
"Given the historical weather data for the region and what we have experienced the last five years, it is a big roll of the dice for us to commit given these variables. We take great pride in hosting outdoor pond hockey festivals for our participants, spectators and host communities. When we have to cancel an event, it truly kills us. We want to thank the Kalispell CVB, Tamarack Brewery, the participants and the community for embracing this event. When it worked, we all experienced something special."
The Pond Hockey Classic will host it's 10th Annual New England Pond Hockey Classic in Meredith, NH from February 1-3 and it's 8th Annual Lake Champlain Pond Hockey Classic in Colchester, VT from February 7-10. For more information please visit www.pondhockeyclassic.com.

HIGHLIGHTS REEL FROM OUR LAST FESTIVAL!!!!! from Byron Bay Surf Festival on Vimeo.
The Byron Surf Festival is set to open at the Lone Goat Art Gallery with an art exhibition. Festivities will move to the foreshore of Main Beach, where the opening ceremony and popular outdoor cinema will take place. The celebration will continue with live music at the Beach Hotel.
Saturday begins with the free Surf Art Market along Main Beach. The tipi markets attract all sorts of people, whether or not they're into surf culture. Later in the day, the ticketed events will take place. The program includes live music, a surf film competition, and yet-to-be-announced surprises.
On Sunday, the Byron Bay Surf Festival goers head to Wategos beach to check out (or participate in) the action both in and out of the water. The foreshore will be dotted with a diverse array of handmade surf crafts. In the water, surfers will showcase their joy and creativity in a non-competitive environment. To finish, the Surf Festival will host a casual, ticketed closing party.
The North Coast glistens with a majestic coastline and several beaches that are perfect for lazing, spending time with the kids or enjoying a relaxing swim. Here are a handful of beaches that you should visit.
Byron Bay Main Beach
The beaches of Byron Bay are in a league of their own boasting gorgeous views, white sand and perfect surfing conditions. The aptly named Main Beach of Byron Bay is the closest beach to the town centre and home to the over 100 year old Byron Bay Surf Club. This traditionally Australian beach attracts many visitors year round and is patrolled throughout the summer months from October to Easter.
Brunswick Heads
Brunswick Heads Beach is a popular spot for swimmers and anglers both. Being just a 15 minute drive from Byron Bay, Brunswick heads is enjoying growing popularity, while staying authentic to its traditional beach culture. The white sandy beach at Brunswick Heads is the perfect place to bring the family, including the dog, for it's child-friendly swimming conditions and low tides revealing plentiful sandy playgrounds.
Lennox head
Popular with surfers for its internationally famous right hand break, Lennox Head is a beach in the Byron Bay region where travelers and locals can both enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Between May and October, Lennox head is a great location to observe the passing migrating humpback whales or go kitesurfing.
Ballina is home to Australia's 'Big Prawn' but it is also a gorgeous beach, close to Byron Bay. There are many activities you can do while visiting Ballina including kayaking, bushwalking and camping or you can simply enjoy a glorious evening having a waterfront barbeque or picnic in the fantastic subtropical climate.
Wategos Beach
Wategos Beach is one of Byron Bay's most exclusive locations, with luxury accommodations and tranquil atmosphere of the northern side of Cape Byron. Wategos Beach is a small beach, spanning 600m of pure white sand bliss, which is situated just a short trip to Byron Bay town centre. Wategos beach manages to avoid the crowds of Byron being just the next beach out from the main beach, and therefore offers a more relaxed and exclusive atmosphere.
Clarks Beach
Clarks Beach is a warm protected beach, which is ideal for all year round swimming and beach activities. It is popular with families and surfing schools for it's small swell and patrolled by lifeguards in the summer months.
Belongil Beach is a dog friendly beach, just north of Byron. Beach goers can bring along their best friend to their day at the beach, or head up to the most northern end of the beach for a 'clothing optional' allocated area to get the perfect all over tan.
Tallow Beach

Author(s): David Gilman
England, 1346: For Thomas Blackstone the choice is easy - dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king's invasion of France. As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone will learn the brutal lessons of war - from the terror and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of siege warfare. Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally confront the armoured might of the French nobility on the field of Crecy. It is a battle that will change the history of warfare, a battle that will change the course of Blackstone's life, a battle that is just the first chapter in a book of legend - Blackstone: Master of War.
David Gilman was a firefighter, a soldier in the Parachute Regiment's Reconnaissance Platoon and a marketing manager for Penguin South Africa before he started writing. For a decade he was the principal writer for A TOUCH OF FROST.

Wiley: Week one tough for local teams
The Keizertimes is expanding its high school sports coverage this fall and that begins this week.
As part of that extended coverage, I'll be breaking down each week's football slate with my prediction for each game.
Here's Week 1:
West Albany at McKay
The Royal Scots open the season in a new league against a familiar opponent.
After struggling in the the 6A Greater Valley Conference the past four years, both programs are moving down to 5A, where the Bulldogs once ruled, winning the 2008, 2008 and 2013 state titles.
West Albany has won the past three matchups between these teams, including a 46-14 blowout last season. That's all I really need to know. But with both teams breaking in new quarterbacks, I expect a lower score.
Prediction: Bulldogs 20, Royal Scots 14
North Salem at Crescent Valley
The Vikings are another program moving down from 6A to 5A and start on the road against a team that began last season 8-0 and reached the state quarterfinals. While North Salem brings back experience at quarterback and along the line and should find 5A more competitive, the Raiders are expected to once again be one of the top teams in 5A.
Prediction: Raiders 31, Vikings 21
Newberg at South Salem
The Tigers went 2-7 last season but played in the brutally tough Three Rivers League with the likes of West Linn, Tigard, Tualatin and Lake Oswego. I could argue that Newberg was much better than its record but most of the losses weren't even close. Led by senior Ashton Adams, I expect the Saxons to win the line of scrimmage and the game.
Prediction: Saxons 34, Tigers 27
Liberty at Sprague
The Olympians open the season with one of its most inexperienced teams in years against an up-and-coming Falcons squad that finished the 2017 regular season on a five-game winning streak before falling in the first round of the state playoffs. Liberty returns starting quarterback Brad Norman as well as a collection of weapons headlined by senior receiver Aidan Maloney. I'm confident Sprague will figure it out eventually but the Olympians will take their lumps early.
Prediction: Falcons 30, Olympians 22
West Salem at Lake Oswego
This is a game fans from all over Oregon will be watching as the Titans and Lakers are projected to be two of the top teams in the state. In OSAAtoday's preseason 6A football coaches poll, Lake Oswego was voted No. 7, just one spot ahead of No. 8 West Salem. And that's not all they have in common. Both squads were eliminated by state runner-up South Medford in the 2017 playoffs, West Salem in the quarterfinals and then Lake Oswego in the semifinals. Both are loaded at the skill positions. Both have rebuilt lines and both have talented senior quarterbacks, who have waited their turn, making their first start. Can the Titans show that they're not only the best team in the new Mountain Valley Conference but also one of the best in the state? I'm voting yes.
Prediction: Titans 48, Lakers 44
North Medford at McNary
Two years ago, the Black Tornado came to Keizer and knocked around McNary 38-17. North Medford was clearly more physical and the Celtics couldn't handle it. But last year McNary responded with its own 40-20 whooping at North Medford, racking up more than 500 yards of offense. Although the Black Tornado bring a much different challenge in a season opener than what North Salem has given the Celtics the past four years, a team that has preached toughness and tenacity all off-season shouldn't get pushed around.
Prediction: Celtics 37, Black Tornado 34

Client Testimonials
Sheila, Wellington, Individual Sessions
I had been experiencing benign positional vertigo that had remained unchanged for several months. I could keep going with my normal life, but could not lie down on my back without the world swimming around in nauseating fashion. I slept with two pillows, careful to stay on my left side, and at Feldenkrais classes, had my head propped on three folded blankets when lying on my back.
Alan suggested an individual session. We started with me lying on my back having the usual head support. Alan worked on connecting my whole structure. At the end he carefully turned my head from side to side, then slid out one blanket. I waited for the spinning to start but no, all was well. Another blanket disappeared and then the third – I was flat on my back and the vertigo had gone.
I said Alan had performed a miracle – he said he had provided the conditions for the body to heal itself. All I know is, if the vertigo does come back, I'll skip the doctor and the neurologist and go back for another session.
Honor, Wellington, Individual Sessions
After her first session for a frozen shoulder and related arm fracture recovery, Honor observed: "I am amazingly transformed, and the change has lasted until now, so I am hoping it will continue." A month later, after a second session, she explained: "I don't think I told you that when I drove into Wellington airport on Sunday evening, both hands automatically assumed the same position on the steering wheel, where as previously the left (affected) hand locked into a different position. This remained throughout the journey and also on the way home, with no postural slumping, and to my surprise, continued on Tuesday when I again drove into Wellington. I am now unable to assume the previous abnormal posture. I simply don't know what it is that I was doing (and am not trying at all to re-invent it) Amazing!"
Mark Frampton, Karori, Individual Sessions
I went to Alan in the first place as I had chronic pain in my arms, neck and back when sitting at my desk. I thought the blame lay with my computer, mouse and chair set up. How wrong! Alan takes that all away and focusses purely on how you should be sitting correctly in order to put as little stress on your body as possible, and allow for best movement. I learnt your work station works around you, and your body is the most important environment of all. Learning how to sit properly over a couple of sessions has improved my experience immensely. The results have been fantastic with the pain going away almost instantaneously. I can highly recommend Alan for the work he does with the Feldenkrais Method.
Barbara Stet, Individual Sessions
I had been suffering with a sore back for many years. I would wake through the night in pain and the need to reposition myself to relieve the pain in order to return to sleep. Alan as a Feldenkrais practitioner has been instrumental in assisting me to repair the overstretched muscles supporting my spine resulting in complete resolution of all the pain. Through his meticulous assessment of my posture and how I move he has taught me how to sit properly and given me a set of supportive exercises which have allowed my back to heal completely. Thank you, Alan.
Shona O'Brien, Individual Sessions
I had neck pain and was unable to turn my neck. The pain in my neck was affecting everything I did. After my sessions with Alan I felt taller and lighter and no pain. I know now which way I should sit and what exercises to do. I am so pleased to have found Alan. He has made me pain free.
Martyn Dudley, Individual Sessions
I went to see Alan upon a friend's recommendation. I have had sustained back issues since I was 15 and all previous treatments just treated the symptoms not the cause. In particular my drooping right shoulder, lower back and neck. These problems had been with me most of my life and were exaggerated by sport. My aim was to try and get to the root cause and attempt to work on it that way. Since having my sessions with Alan I have noticed that my shoulders are now more balanced, my back has gained back a lot of its flexibility and that I am having less pain in my neck. From my sessions I have learnt to slow down and pay attention to how I am sitting, walking etc. When I have problems I try out the different strategies Alan has given me and find which ones are helpful. I still continue to go to Alan and I am amazed that with a focus on rewiring my body it is helping reduce the long term pain and bad posture I have put up with for over 30 years.
Elizabeth Bradford, Individual Sessions
When I first came to see Alan my body alignment was twisted, I had pains in my back and limbs, and in retrospect, my nervous system was hyperactive. I had difficulties in walking, gardening, getting up and down, and other movements. After my sessions, my body is now more or less in a correct alignment. I sometimes feel taller, I am freer in my chest, and I am more aware of how my body is functioning. Since working with Alan, I have learnt to pay attention to how I am sitting, walking, moving in other ways, and lying down. I try to think about 'how' I am performing movements that cause difficulties. I can walk more easily for short distances on the flat, but I still cannot garden easily, and still have pain. I have realised that I have to take responsibility and train my brain to consciously direct body movements before I can move freely again. I'm aware that I need to use my limbs even when it hurts somewhat as they have become less useful through lack of use.
Sheila, Wellington, Group Classes
Going to Alan's Feldenkrais classes has helped me realise how important it is to keep the whole body balanced and in alignment. If I favour one joint or limb, it throws my whole structure out and stresses it. I've had so much less pain and discomfort since I started classes.
Garth England, Karori, Group Classes
In my 90th year I have found Alan's classes have helped me to keep active and enjoying life.
