Yet another push for wind farm
Credit: Olean Times Herald | October 1, 2013 | www.oleantimesherald.com ~~
The recent – supposedly homegrown – resurgence of interest in construction of a wind farm in Chipmonk is curious. Why now, after this issue has been decisively defeated by the local citizens?
The pro-wind people had their chance in 2011. If they are dissatisfied with how the town is dealing with EverPower, they should do what turbine opponents had to do: Work to put forward candidates more sympathetic to their point of view and then elect them.
One can understand the construction industry's alliance with billionaires who stand to make millions, even though any jobs created would be temporary. But what about local residents who are willing to destroy the Chipmonk community's residents' lives? Why would they side with the wind company? How would you like to find your home suddenly in the middle of a towering industrial installation?
And what about other job prospects the unions could make a plea for? In my opinion, Cattaraugus County's highway system remains in poor condition, despite the recent trend of increased county spending to make our roads functionally adequate. Why aren't the unions crying out to further increase the rate of improvement to our roads?
Fixing our roads would make more construction jobs for a longer time. Is there a reason the unions have chosen wind farms over roads? Who is paying the cost for the new pro-wind campaign?
As for "wind farms power America," during a recent trip across the one western state, in a single day, out of five huge wind installations, only two had so much as a single turbine moving.
There was enough wind and not too much wind, so what happened? Did the flow of money to the billionaires dry up, forcing the truth into full public view? Wind farms don't make appreciable energy. Wind farms make monetary subsidies – using tax dollars the rest of us will have to pay.

The first episode introduced the origin of the Impressionist movement, and here is the second episode: Pierre Auguste Renoir, a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style.
Pierre Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges on 25 February 1841. He was the sixth child in the family of Léonard Renoir and Marguerite Merlet. Three years later, in 1844, the Renoirs moved to Paris. In 1848 Auguste began attending a school run by the Frères des Écoles Chrétiennes. Renoir excelled in musical theory and was soon accepted into the choir at the Église Saint-Eustache, directed by the composer Charles Gounod. Fate, however, decided otherwise. In 1854, the boy's parents took him from school and found a place for him in the Lévy brothers' workshop, where he was to learn to paint porcelain.
One of the Lévys' workers, Émile Laporte, painted in oils in his spare time. He suggested Renoir make use of his canvases and paints. This offer resulted in the appearance of the first painting by the future Impressionist. It was solemnly presented for Laporte's inspection at the Renoir's home. Showing faith in their son, Auguste's parents heeded Laporte's advice. His mother only suggested saving some money first. The future artist's parents knew how hard it was to make money – Léonard Renoir's work as a tailor barely enabled him to keep his seven children – and could imagine that there was very little likelihood of making much in high art.
In 1858, Pierre Auguste Renoir turned seventeen years old and he left the Lévys' workshop. Mechanical methods of reproducing a design on porcelain were being introduced in the larger firms and the Lévys had been driven out of business.
The geographical scope of Renoir's movements at that time was not particularly large – he had no money to travel far – but there were attractive enough motifs in the area around Paris. The more so, since it was on them that the Barbizon school had developed and Renoir and his friends felt themselves to be its direct successors as landscape painters. The Forest of Fontainebleau provided an inexhaustible stock of subject matter. Sometimes they lived in the village of Chailly-en-Bière, at the inn run by Mère Anthony. About 1866 Renoir depicted that same inn in the striking painting At the Inn of Mother Anthony. The scene Renoir recreated on a large canvas, about two metres high, was not invented. That was how it was when they all gathered at Marlotte.
In 1870 Renoir painted Odalisque. He dressed Lise in fine silk and oriental brocade glittering with gold embroidery. He adorned her splendid black hair with an orange plume and surrounded her with magnificent carpets.
On 18 July 1870, normal life was interrupted when France declared war on Prussia. Fate decreed that Renoir, who did not know the first thing about horses, was sent to the cavalry. He found himself in Bordeaux, then Tarbes. Renoir fell seriously ill and the doctors in the Bordeaux hospital only just managed to save his life. In March 1871, he was demobilized and returned to Paris – to the Latin Quarter. It was there that he learned of Bazille's death – a shock which affected him more deeply than the war itself. The story of Renoir the cavalryman had its continuation in his painting. In 1872 he produced Riders in the Bois de Boulogne. The woman who posed for the magnificent Amazon was Madame Darras, the wife of Captain Darras, whom Renoir had met through the Le Coeurs. The boy on the pony was Charles Le Coeur's son. The painting's enormous dimensions – each side of the almost square canvas extends to about two and a half metres – turn it into a monumental work.
Finally, the association of artists about which Bazille and Pissarro had already been dreaming in the late 1860s came about. Nevertheless, the organizers managed to bring together twenty-nine artists who presented 165 works. Renoir displayed six oil paintings and one pastel. Viewers' attention was drawn by the large canvases: Dancer, Parisienne (or Lady in Blue) – for which Henriette Henriot, an actress at the Odéon Theatre, posed, and The Loge (which was also called L'Avant-Scène). For the first time in this painting, a wave of light, harmonious, unrestrained colour broke across Renoir's canvas in conjunction with a composition worthy of the lessons provided by classical teachers.
The 1870s in Montmartre were possibly the happiest time in Renoir's creative biography. The little neglected garden by the studio on the Rue Cortot that he began renting in 1875 became the plein-air setting which generated the finest paintings of this period. Here he worked on Summer House, The Swing and Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, Montmartre – one of the most important paintings he ever produced. Renoir found the subject for this last work right by his house in the restaurant called Le Moulin de la Galette. It is more of a motif than a subject: Renoir's canvases never did have a subject as such, since any kind of narrative or descriptiveness in painting was repugnant to him. A certain Monsieur Debray turned the last windmill still standing on the hill into a restaurant. It got its name from the tasty galettes (flat cakes) which it served…

If you are on the market, let me tell you about the Womanizer vibrator. It is by far one of the best, if not the best sex toy I have found and ever had the pleasure of using. The only thing that may be better is the real thing. It has light, yet a powerful vibration that is combined with gentle suction that creates an experience that is one of a kind and something that won't soon be forgotten.
What type of toy is it?
It is classified under a clitoral vibrator and oral sex stimulator, and those are not a lie. It works wonders when it is being used on your body, especially the clit. But, it can also be great for nipple play too. When ordering the Womanizer, I was a bit on the skeptical side because I am not one that's fond of vibrators, but the light vibrations caught my attention with the suction feature. I have not regretted the purchase at all.
How it works
The head is created with silicone that you place over the clit, it is able to pinpoint the stimulation and actually make contact with the clit, but due to the products design those with larger clits may have more trouble with comfort.
Then there are the multiple speed options that are available, with six speeds to choose from you can have a custom experience every time you use the Womanizer. For me, clitoral orgasm seem to take forever, so I am not a bit fan of them. But, with this one the vibrations were just the right level for me to quickly achieve orgasm in in a matter of minutes, instead of half an hour!
Because if focuses just on the clit and can be compared to the stimulation of getting oral directly to the clit, it is a great option for anyone who has issues reaching their tipping point from clit play. But, it may lead you to wanting and craving more, even after multiple orgasms. Because of this, I always keep my favorite dildo handy when playing with the Womanizer to give myself an even better experience.
- Focuses on the clit and helps reach orgasm quickly
- Multiple levels of speed, with six options to choose from.
- Rechargeable
- Quite and travel friendly
- Can't think of any, it has great vibrations, high quality materials and rechargeable!
Wrapping up the Womanizer toy review
Overall, this is a great option if you are looking for a new toy for the bedroom, or for your travel needs. You can easily hide the Womanizer sex toy and use it discreetly or with a partner. You will find the rechargeable option to be helpful if you use it frequently as well.

Alphabet Sea - The Studio
I gather and collect wood about once a week usually. Some of it needs to be trimmed, treated or prepped in some way before it gets used, but mostly the sun and desert weather give it a finish that is hard to emulate. Reclaimed wood has textures that are really, really unique and have great depth, making it my preferred canvas. I enjoy painting outside with plenty of room to walk around my paintings while I'm creating them. Each painting takes about an hour or two, excluding the time to find and prep the canvases, and are usually 2 X 3 feet or larger. If you want to donate wood or supplies please email email@example.com

HC ruling to help curb corruption
Provisions of the Evidence Act like requirement of witnesses is not mandatory in a disciplinary enquiry.india Updated: Sep 10, 2006 03:15 IST
In a significant ruling aimed at curbing corruption and indiscipline in offices, the Delhi High Court has said strict adherence to provisions of the Evidence Act like requirement of witnesses is not mandatory in a disciplinary enquiry.
However, the probe officer must follow the broad principles of natural justice like giving the employee a fair hearing. He should also make sure there is some evidence against him.
The ruling by justice S.N. Dhingra came in a case where he upheld the dismissal of a Delhi Transport Corporation conductor Horam Singh, who pocketed the fare given by passengers by not issuing tickets.
Singh contended that the punishment given to him was not proportionate to the misconduct and enquiry by the management was "not fair and proper" as there was no documentary evidence against him. He said the passengers not given tickets were also not examined.
"A passenger who paid fare and was not given a ticket of Rs 5 or Rs 10 cannot be expected to come and spend days together appearing as a witness before the inquiry officer," justice Dhingra said. Citing a 1977 Supreme Court ruling in a similar case, he said "strict and sophisticated rules of the Evidence Act may not apply in domestic enquiry".
The court only has to see whether the inquiry officer has followed the broad principles of natural justice and there was some evidence on record to show that the conclusion arrived at was in accordance with the evidence.
Singh was posted on route Mori Gate-Madanpur Khadar. Once, during inspection it was found that three passengers had given him fare but he had not issued tickets. He also refused to subject his cash bag to checks. Passengers to whom he had not issued tickets belonged to his village and they stated they did not want to give statements against him. However, the disciplinary authority dismissed him after an enquiry.
Singh had been caught misappropriating DTC's money on an earlier occasion too and had been punished. Taking into consideration this incident, the court said "looking into the past conduct of the petitioner any other punishment would have amounted to giving him a charter to indulge with impunity in misappropriation of public money and, therefore, removal from service is only appropriate".
The court said in such cases, the department should assess the loss caused by the petitioner and recover it from the dues payable to him after termination.

In America, Naturalized Citizens No Longer Have an Assumption of Permanence | The New Yorker
june 2018 by jm
law immigration us-politics america citizenship naturalization history
Michael Bars, the U.S.C.I.S. spokesman, told the Washington Examiner that the agency is hiring dozens of lawyers for the new task force. The mandate, according to both Cissna and Bars, is to find people who deliberately lied on their citizenship applications, not those who made innocent mistakes. The distinction is fuzzier than one might assume.
Back in 1989, I had to make a decision about whether to lie on my citizenship application. At the time, immigration law banned "aliens afflicted with sexual deviation," among others suffering from "psychopathic personality," from entry to the United States. I had come to this country as a fourteen-year-old, in 1981, but I had been aware of my "sexual deviation" at the time, and this technically meant that I should not have entered the country. [....]
Over the years, the applications for both citizenship and permanent residence have grown ever longer, filling with questions that seem to be designed to be used against the applicant. Question 26 on the green-card application, for example, reads, "Have you EVER committed a crime of any kind (even if you were not arrested, cited, charged with, or tried for that crime)?" ... The question does not specify whether it refers to a crime under current U.S. law or the laws of the country in which the crime might have been committed. In the Soviet Union of my youth, it was illegal to possess foreign currency or to spend the night anywhere where you were not registered to live. In more than seventy countries, same-sex sexual activity is still illegal. On closer inspection, just about every naturalized citizen might look like an outlaw, or a liar.

Sharara Pipeline Blockaded Again
Reuters reports that the pipeline feeding Zawiyya refinery with 200,000 bpd of crude from Repsol's al-Sharara oil field was blockaded again late on 9 April, slashing total Libyan oil output by a quarter. The pipeline was only open for a week after the latest blockade was lifted on 2 April. The shutdown is a significant blow to the National Oil Corporation (NOC) which promised on 5 April to raise crude production from al-Sharara to its full 300,000 bpd capacity.
Sharara's production had recovered to 213,000 barrels per day (bpd) by Sunday, when the latest stoppage began. The new blockade led the North African country's National Oil Corporation (NOC) to declare force majeure on loadings of Sharara crude from the Zawiya export terminal, the oil source said.
Production of oil, gas and condensates have also been interrupted at the western Wafa field, where an armed group closed off pipelines on March 26 near the town of Nalut. The NOC said on Monday it had been losing about $9.8 million in export revenues daily due to that stoppage. Oil output from Wafa had dropped by 4,000 bpd after gas supplies at the field were shut off, but that will rise to 10,400 bpd once oil storage reservoirs are filled, the NOC said. It warned that a longer-term stoppage would carry heavier production risks and financial penalties.

My 2D and 3D shapes reflection
There are many connections between 2D and 3D shapes and we learnt a lot about prisms and pyramids. 3D shapes are made of lots of different 2D shapes. For example a cube is made of 6 squares that make the faces of this 3D shape.
Yesterday we partnered up and chose a 2D shape and that would be the base of our prism or pyramid. We had to make sure that our shapes had the exact angle and so. We had to do this without nets so really we made 3D shapes from scratch.
predict- I predict it will be about subtraction.
read- Ian started with the same number of marbles as his brother Francis. After winning 4 marbles from Francis, Ian realises he now has twice as many marbles as his brother. How many marbles does Ian have now?
clarify- nothing to clarify.
big question- how many marbles does Ian have now?
math tool box- test all possibilities.
solve- say you start with them both having 6 marbles each. give 4 to Ian and take 4 of Francis. that does not work so double 6 and now they have 12 marbles each. take 4 of Francis and give 4 to Ian. so Francis has 8 marbles and Ian has 16. now THAT works.
summery- as I say many weeks I enjoy doing problems like the one above. give it a try and you shall get the hang of it real quick.
There was something at the end of my rod. I try to pull it in but it's to heavy . Alex wonders what kind of fish he has caught. Is it a moustache fish? Is it a 100 word challenge fish? Well in the world of random you shall never know till it comes in. Alex keeps on pulling and pulling and YES! It jumps out of the water and into the fishing boat. It turns out to be a 100wc fish. He gets out his sheet of paper and the fish makes a story of 100 words appear. MAGICAL!

Suddenly I heard a crack. It was loud, it was sudden. I think it was a safety on a gun. Next I hear a bullet. It hit something. I'm not sure what. My hiding place under the ground is very good. It protects me from everything that happens above. It is great to be a tinny kitten in war time because I can fit in lots of hiding places. I hear another gunshot. This time there is a reaction. Someone screams and shouts. They repeat the same words. "I have been shot!" cries a man. I just don't understand war.
Over the hill….
As I climbed up the hill I heard a gunshot. Loud and clear. I knew who the Nazis were killing. My family. I used to live on a farm. With kind cows, horses, sheep, dogs and people. There was also my mother and my sister.
When the Nazis came I was told to run. My family said they'd be fine. Since I was the youngest I did not argue. The Nazis came and burnt the barn and the farm house. I ran. My sister ran after me. She was shot.
Now I am here running up this hill side. Trying not to think of my family and what is happening to them. I hear more gun shots. Their coming from behind me. Am I being chased? Or has one of the children survived? I don't look back. I don't want to. I don't need to.
I run into the forest at the top of the hill. I remember that I had been here before. When I was a kitten. My family was lost here. Then the farmers saved us.
I run into the city. It's dark and cold, but I have been running for ages now and its night. I decided to go to the butcher. That's where I was born. The butcher used to feed me.
Yes. My basket is still out the back of the butcher's shop. Still with all my blankets in it. I go in and curl up in a ball. Tomorrow I'll keep on going. If I'm still alive.
The next morning I wake up with a shock. I've just been splashed with cold water. I look at the butcher. It's a girl. She looks like she's 30 years old. But she did not own the shop when I was little. " Scram!" she screams. I run off never to return.
I run for my life. Everything in my life has changed. I bet I'm the only cat in Poland going through this kind of thing. I prefer to be lost in the wood again. At least I will have my family.
I run into a girl. She gets shot right in front of me. But she does not fall. She picks me up and runes away.

Here was me logging in to see pictures from Long Point and I have to study 8 Carmine Bee Eaters in a single tree. It's a hard life indeed for both of us - we have sun and no wind this morning so off to the zoo with 2 lively granddaughters. Wish me well.ReplyDelete
So good to hear you got to LP. Hope you said hello to Jon McCracken for me?

Oh my God! These birds are fantastic! Colors of plumage are breathtaking! Wonderful pictures!ReplyDelete
Well done :-)
You did well to spot this highly camouflaged bird, David!! On reflection, and being serious for a minute,my brother would possibly have missed this bird because he's red-green colourblind!ReplyDelete
What a stunner though, and I really love the first two images - the first as being a magnificent portrait, and the second as it shows the gregarious nature of the bird in its environment. PS. - Tell Phill he can't count!

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Charles Wesley, in the Wesleyan Collection of Psalms and Hymns (London: 1743).
Music: "Amsterdam," James Nares, from The Foundery Collection, 1742
Praise the Lord Who reigns above and keeps His court below;
Praise the holy God of love and all His greatness show;
Praise Him for His noble deeds; praise Him for His matchless power;
Him from Whom all good proceeds let earth and heaven adore.
Publish, spread to all around the great Jehovah's name,
Let the trumpet's martial sound the Lord of hosts proclaim:
Praise Him in the sacred dance, harmony's full concert raise,
Let the virgin choir advance, and move but to His praise.
Celebrate th'eternal God with harp and psaltery,
Timbrels soft and cymbals loud in this high praise agree;
Praise with every tuneful string; all the reach of heavenly art,
All the powers of music bring, the music of the heart.
God, in Whom they move and live, let every creature sing,
Glory to their Maker give, and homage to their King.
Hallowed be Thy Name beneath, as in heaven on earth adored;
Praise the Lord in every breath, let all things praise the Lord.

2FA in Action
In order to establish that the person trying either to access their account or perform some unusual activity on their account is the accountholder, an additional piece of information is required before access is granted. There are three categories of authentification data:
- Something you know. This is information that is personal to you, which is not commonly known or accessible. Typically, this would be a password.
- Something you have. This refers to a physical device, such as an ID badge or a card key.
- Something you are. This is some form of biometric identification, such as an iris scan or fingerprint.
The information that is used to authenticate is typically known as a "shared secret". In order to validate your fingerprint for example, your service provider will have scanned some or all of your fingerprints when you opened your account, and stored them in an authentification database. You have probably loaded some personal data, such as the name of your first school, on to a website. This data is held for a situation where you have forgotten your password or user name.
A typical case of 2FA in everyday use is cash withdrawal at an ATM, where you start the transaction with your bank or credit card (something you have), followed by entry of your PIN (something you know). This is also an excellent example of why 2FA is not foolproof - as you may have personally experienced with card theft or fraud. It is easy for fraudsters to clone your card and activities such as phishing can trap the unwary into compromising their pin or other personal details.
There are various mechanisms used in authentification, such as physical devices like tokens or USB cards and transmission of one-time passwords via email or SMS. They all have their conveniences and flaws, which we will not go into here. For further information, you may want to read the NIST draft report, which discusses the relative security of these options.
There are many websites where 2FA would be overkill for everyday use, or you, as the consumer may feel that way, even if the service provider does not. However, the service provider stores additional data that can activate a 2FA authentication. For instance, in these days of BYOD ("bring your own device"), the identification of the devices you normally use are stored by the service provider. If you now log on using a different computer, phone or tablet, the device is not recognised, and you could be asked to provide additional information to confirm your identity.
This all sounds good and very reassuring, but this is not a perfect world. There are two main threats to even the best authentification, the people who want to hack into your data and the people whose data they want to hack.
Cyberattacks - Not just for Dummies
We know that there are 2 certainties in life, death and taxes. In our brave new world, we can add a third to the list, cyberattacks. We think that only the gullible fall prey to villains trying to scam us via emails and SMS, but there have been people who should have known better who were taken in. It is in the realm of B2B where the biggest strikes have occurred. Take the case of Waltar Stephan, CEO of aerospace parts manufacturer FACC. his blunder cost the company millions of euros. Another big fail that capitalized on lax B2B security was the accessing of Target's customer base in 2013, that cost Target hundreds of millions of dollars. One of the most notable attacks was on RSA , a security company that provides tokens for 2FA, among other services. This 2011 incursion was a very serious breach that attempted to infiltrate US defense suppliers. Up to then, RSA had been considered to be one of the best purveyors of data security devices.
The Weakest Link - the Customer
The main problem with all security systems, shared secrets and multiple keys or not, is the customer. First of all, they are overwhelmed with the number of usernames and passwords they are required to provide. Secondly, they do not place the same value on access to some online site from which they occasionally download free content as they do to their internet banking. You will probably find that scrupulous access management is limited to those who understand the risks. Every social media platform has two-factor authentification available for its customers, from Facebook to Twitter. This does not mean that customers have stormed the digital doors to set up 2FA security. Another risk is customers' lack of appetite to keep their operating systems and security upgrades current. Security company Duo has an interesting infographic on an exercise they did in this space.
What are the Benefits to Adopting 2FA?
From all the bad news we reported above, it might seem that the case for 2FA is not that strong. However, look at the alternative of not implementing a 2FA (or a multi FA) solution. Cyberattackers looking to target a specific industry will look for the weakest links. If your competitors have robust defenses, they will leave them and concentrate on the soft targets. What is more, they will find a back door by targetting (there is a pun intended) companies in your supply chain who are vulnerable, as happened with the retailer. Your best remedy is to limit the possibility of data breaches on all fronts; it's not just about B2C, your greatest risks are in your B2B relationships. Do not delay in getting reliable authentification strategies in place.
We Don't Have the Expertise
Obviously, this is a specialised field, and only the largest corporations have the skills and resources to manage authentication in-house. There is also a very large capex attached to this route. However, even SMEs can move to a 2FA environment by outsourcing to capable vendors. There are several benefits to outsourcing:
- There is added security in that the authentification data is not in your environment, and not accessible by your employees.
- The security companies need to keep on top of cyberthreats, so you will always have the optimal authentification strategies in place.
- You do not need to maintain a force of your own security experts.
- Costs are considerably lower than an in-house solution.
There are some downsides to outsourcing, for instance, the transmission of one-time passwords can sometimes be slow or require the user to request a re-send. However, any protection against cyber villains outweighs the disadvantages.
Don't Procrastinate on 2FA - Start Today
This is only a brief summary of a very vast field. We hope there is enough information here to help you make the decision to implement 2FA, or augment your current 2FA environment if there are gaps in your security. We did not discuss 2FA in depth, mainly because the NIST's draft report poses some hard questions as to the efficacy of some of the mechanisms currently used, like OTPs (one-time passwords) and the risks inherent in the growing use of mobile devices. These are questions the security industry will have to grapple with and come up with answers, knowing that the cyberthieves are just one step behind. The growth in attacks will not diminish, and we want you to be prepared.

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Do what? He will come again for those who have trusted in Him! The previous chapter in this book puts it this way (verse 14) For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
"Asleep" here refers to those who have died, having placed faith in Jesus. Jesus pioneered the path to eternal life and demonstrated that path through His own death and resurrection. This chapter goes on to explain that all who have died, believing in the Lord Jesus, will be raised one day and joint with those who are still alive at His return. Listen to this description of Jesus' coming: (verses 16-17 of chapter 4) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. The next verse says: Therefore encourage one another with these words.
And remember: He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. !! (exclamation marks added)

The outlook for this week is more typical of November weather with temperatures dropping from Wednesday to seasonal norms, plenty of sunshine everywhere with the south west and north looking best for sunshine hours. However, it's likely there will be cloudy spells on some days and possibly showers on Wednesday. Sunday is looking most likely for rainfall everywhere… except in Teide National Park.

To put it mildly, High Jinks Ranch is Rustic.
Most of the time High Jinks is a gracious, relaxing, beautiful place. But this is the desert after all, and there are things visitors should be aware of.
There are occasional scorpions, bees and wasps. Rattlesnakes are not uncommon.
If our cats or dogs like you they may bring you a special gift of a dead animal.
The terrain is steep - please watch your step!
There are loose rocks, aging structures, mud flow, free range cattle, horses, doo doo, primitive roads, flash floods, and more...
We are in the wilderness - it's a about 20 minutes to the nearest clinic, about 40 minutes to the hospital.
Come prepared:
If well-meaning-but-rustic is not to your liking, please go visit someplace more civilized.

text: The new Gourmet Holiday collection has recently dropped and features premium leather in some of the most known silhouettes. Two models featuring a 'cheetah' spot pattern in grey and orange that doesn't come off as girly. The main draw here is the quality of the leather and craftsmanship of the midsoles to the uppers which vary in huge contrasts. Our favorite shoe has to be the 35 Lite Camo that is covered is a very unique mild camo filled with light browns and tans and the tan leather that the shoe is made of makes this should an amazing highlight for any outfit.

Welcome To Liv's Place!
Since I love to read I'm doing a book reviews page!
Book: Eldest, by Christopher Paolini
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Summary: This book is the second in the Inheritence trilogy. It is about a boy named Eragon who is the
last of the Dragon Riders. He and his dragon, Saphira, must go to the elves' city to continue their training.
What I thought: It is a really good book, with a lot of suspense and action. However, it's pretty long
so not good for a quick read. Also, you need to have read the first book, Eragon, to fully understand it.
Book: The Sammy Keyes series by Wendelyn Van Dranan (probably did not spell that right, will look it
Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary: This is a mystery series about a girl named Sammy Keyes who lives with her grandmother while
her mom went off to be an actress. The books are about the mysteries she solves as well as the conflict between her and her
archenemy, Heather Acosta.
What I thought: All of the books are really good, in my opinion. The main character seems really real
and is someone you can identify with. Plus they are not too hard to read.
Book: Things Not Seen by (um... have to look that up too)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Summary: Bobby is a normal kid until one morning he wakes up to find he has become invisible. His parents
keep it a secret because they don't want the govenment to find out. However, after his parents get in a car wreck, he is left
on his own while they are in the hospital. He meets a girl named Alicia who is blind and they develop a friendship. Will Bobby
ever become visible again? You'll have to read to find out.
What I Thought: Actually pretty good, but I didn't like the ending too much.
Read reviews of some books I have read.

Yesterday at The Grove was crazy. We SOLD OUT - seriously. I only have 3 portions of carrot cake left! We had to eat fish fingers and chicken nuggets for supper ;(
We weren't prepared for it at all! Last weekend we had 2 tables on Sunday and this weekend we had to put people outside. I think one or two people didn't enjoy waiting for service (and that upsets me) But its fresh and there is only so much we can do. Most people seemed happy and had a great time!
I really wish there was an even flow so that I can gauge how to gear up! I was quite tired and am suffering from a headache today. It is so incredibly frustrating to have to worry about my head all the time. Another busy week is in store... my parents 60th birthday party, my friend from Germany arrives today, got old ladies coming for tea ...

Our speech to the Class of 2015 (you can catch up here and here) left out some important points.
The jobs picture, for example, is even bleaker. And depriving young people of jobs is like depriving pandas of bamboo shoots: It's all they have.
Older people can watch their stocks, real estate, and bonds go up in price.
A young person can only look at the 'Help Wanted' ads…and hope for a break.
20 million fewer jobs
In 2000, 56% of the working-age population was employed. That was an all-time high. It has fallen ever since…and is now down to 46%.
The working-age population is about 200 million people. This suggests there are about 20 million fewer people with jobs today than there were at the start of the century.
Guess who those people are?
People with all their teeth, all their hair, and all their wits.
Since the stock market bottomed in 2009, only one group has added jobs — people 55 and older. Every other age group has lost out.
New businesses hire young people. Old businesses hire old ones. Imagine a new company — Uber, Snapchat, or Pinterest — recruiting grey-haired workers.
They won't. The older generation wouldn't understand. They'd be out of place.
But the rate of new business start-ups has fallen sharply. And fewer new businesses means fewer places for new workers to get work.
Also, older workers might like to retire and give their jobs to younger workers. But they can't afford to. They are squeezed by their own economy.
Now they must hang on to their jobs as long as they can.
Wasted youth
This leaves young people with no way to get on the bottom rungs of the ladder.
To get ahead in the business/employment world, you have to get started. Then you work hard…you learn…you progress.
But today, young people mill around, wasting their time in college, flipping burgers and parking cars while they wait for a 'real' job opening.
Then it is too late.
They go for a job interview at 25, 30, or 35…and employers want to know what the heck they've been doing for the last few years.
They may never get onto the bottom rung, never learn a real trade or profession, and never be able to play their part in the adult, debt-soaked, middle-class economy.
The Atlantic magazine looked at the situation. It concluded there was 'nothing uniquely wrong with the youth job market.'
But something is wrong.
It is not nearly as bad in America as it is in France, for example. But every labour rule drives employers to protect themselves.
Hire a young person and who knows what you get?
He has no work experience; he cannot prove that he won't cause trouble.
Instead, you look for a résumé with familiar assurances: 'Oh, he worked for 10 years at the Ford Motor Company,' you tell yourself. 'Then, he'll be fine here.'
Callow youths entering the workforce have few skills. They should be cheap. But as the cost of hiring these new people goes up — costs imposed by the older generation — the price of older workers, relatively, goes down.
Entry-level jobs are scarce partly because old people — using the police power of their government — have made them more expensive.
A stacked deck
The declining availability of income opportunities is just one way the older generation has stacked the deck against the young.
You have no doubt heard about how today's highly financialised US economy favours the rich over the poor. You might just as well say it favours the old over the young.
Financial assets — stocks and bonds — have gained value. Jobs have not. Incomes have been flat for an entire generation, as capital gains have soared. The old have gotten richer; the young have gotten poorer.
In 2013, for example, there were 50 million people in the U.S. who earned an average of just $6000.
Who were they?
Disproportionately, they were young people.
This is where it gets really interesting…The 'financial economy' — roughly the value of stocks and bonds — has gone up 15 times in the last generation, an increase from $6 trillion to $95 trillion.
But do young people own stocks and bonds?
Nope. Financial assets are owned, in the main, by old, well-connected, skilled, and successful people. Young people have little but their own time.
When you are starting out in life, you need to trade your time and energy for money…and gradually accumulate financial assets. You need an economy in which you can work…and earn money.
But that economy — the economy of work and wages — grew only five times during the same period (as measured by GDP).
'The financial sphere,' explains former Reagan administration budget adviser David Stockman, 'occupied 212% of GDP in 1981…now, [it] weighs in at 537%.'
In short, the geezers have done much better than the under-30 crowd.
Although average wages have barely risen at all, the value of America's corporate equity has gone up 28 times since Jimmy Carter was president.
Was this just an accident? Was this just an honest market economy at work?
No, the fix was in…as we'll show you tomorrow.

For the Markets and Money, Australia

Not Just "a Little Sugar"
March 28, 2007
Mother Love, talk show host, advice guru, and humorist, has declared war against a disease that has taken the lives of both her parents and her sister – and now affects her health. In the April issue of the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Forecast magazine, Mother Love speaks about her personal fight against diabetes and her crusade to help others do the same.
Witnessing the devastating effects of diabetes, Mother Love made it her mission to squash the myth that diabetes is "just a little sugar." With many years as an ADA volunteer and Co-Chair of the African American Task Force in Los Angeles, she recently became a volunteer spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association's new campaign, I Decide to Fight Diabetes.
"Diabetes is an equal opportunity destroyer among Americans, with 21 million adults and children suffering from either type 1 or type 2," said Mother Love. "Good people are suffering from heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, lower limb amputations, strokes and premature death because of diabetes. I cannot sit by and let that go on. I know the pain of the disease and what it takes to fight it. I joined the I Decide to Fight Diabetes campaign so I can share my experiences with others and motivate everyone to do what it takes to put a stop to the misery."
People can visibly show their commitment to support the cause by wearing the signature item of the I Decide to Fight Diabetes campaign: an "I Decide" charm. Proceeds from the purchase of the "I Decide" charm will support research for a cure, advocacy activities, and education programs to help people with diabetes and those at risk. To purchase a charm or more information, visit diabetes.org/IDecide or contact 1-877-ADA-ID26.
In addition to the cover story on Mother Love, the April issue of Diabetes Forecast also features:
• Getting off a weight loss plateau
• Encouraging teens to discuss diabetes
• Handling high blood glucose after meals
Diabetes Forecast has been America's leading diabetes magazine for over 55 years. Each full-color issue provides the latest information on diabetes research and treatment, as well as practical tips on day-to-day coping with diabetes. The magazine is published monthly by the American Diabetes Association.
About the American Diabetes Association
Nearly half of American adults have diabetes or prediabetes; more than 30 million adults and children have diabetes; and every 21 seconds, another individual is diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is the nation's leading voluntary health organization whose mission is to prevent and cure diabetes, and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. The ADA drives discovery by funding research to treat, manage and prevent all types of diabetes, as well as to search for cures; raises voice to the urgency of the diabetes epidemic; and works to safeguard policies and programs that protect people with diabetes. In addition, the ADA supports people living with diabetes, those at risk of developing diabetes, and the health care professionals who serve them through information and programs that can improve health outcomes and quality of life. For more information, please call the ADA at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit diabetes.org. Information from both of these sources is available in English and Spanish.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is being remade along with Fox claiming they'll be rebooting Fantastic Four and Daredevil. Apparently, development on World War Z (based on the novel of the same name and starring Brad Pitt) has been delayed by needs for rewrites. Is it mean to celebrate?
In other news, it's been confirmed that fan favourite Q WILL appear in the new Bond film Skyfall but he's significantly younger than one would have expected. Charlie Kauffman (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) has started a Kickstarter page for his next film, a stop-motion tentatively titled Anomalisa. And David Duchovny plays "The Goat Man", a psuedo-dad to a coming-of-age Ellis (Graham Phillips) whose own father left when he was a baby in Goats. Oddly, this one looks like it could be reasonably funny (also starring Vera Farmiglia and Kerri Russel). Oh and the final installment of the Hunger Games is going to be two films. Ugh.
On with the picks!
In Theatres: Of the top five films this past weekend, I would have to say that none are truly commendable but I found The Amazing Spiderman reasonably enjoyable, Matt and I agreed that while it was unremarkable, Brave had a certain charm, and we both found Magic Mike to be somewhat poorly paced though randomly entertaining. To that end, I'm suggesting that you go and see Marley, a doc that's been getting quite a buzz around the watercooler. It follows the meteoric rise and cult following of Bob Marley and delves into his relationships with his fans, his family and his faith. With a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I feel like this could be an interesting portrait of a complex man. Now Playing in select theatres (including the Bell Lightbox).
At Home: The Artist is now available on DVD and Blu Ray (and Netflix in the US). Pop some corn, turn out the lights and settle into this dazzling walk down memory lane. Alternately cute and heartwarming, clever and surprisingly sinister, there's a reason this won so many awards at the Oscars. Special mention to stars Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo who ooze charisma throughout the film. Matt's full review can be found here.
On TV: Two weeks ago I finally got around to starting to watch HBO's series Girls created and starring Lena Dunham and executive produced by Judd Apatow. Dunham gained a cult following for her web series Delusional Downtown Divas and critical praise with her 2010 feature film Tiny Furniture. Girls chronicles the life of Hannah, a twenty-something and her four closest (this is a relative term) girlfriends who basically stumble through their lives, unaware of their own selfishness. It's been awhile since a series had me laughing out loud but this one does it often without much effort. It's not for everyone though, there's frequent nudity and a good portion of the jokes are extremely offside. If you're a female in her late twenties and you remember how much it sucked to graduation from university and realize you weren't as important as you thought you were, this one's for you.
Retro Re-Watch: Midway through the week I had a very hectic day and I found myself grumpy and sitting down to watch some ladies beat the crap out of one another. Yes, I sat down to Kill Bill vol 1 & 2. And while I can't choose that film for the retro re-watch (it's from 2004) it did remind me of another of Quentin Tarntino's great female leads: Jackie Brown. Cult favourite Pam Grier is at her best and with Samuel L Jackson, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton and Robert DeNiro to back her up this one is a smashing success. Available on Netflix.

My family rented a three bedroom. The sq ft is enough for a family of four. The bedrooms are large and so are Read Morethe closets. The rating is fair for several reasons. The apartments are not layout out for natural light. I felt our apartment was always dark like a cave. We needed to have another light source on at all times. The maintenance crew is fair.

Located in the northwest region, the Baja California Peninsula borders the United States on the north, and lies east of the Pacific Ocean and west of the Sea of Cortez. The peninsula has an ideal climate, with sunny days throughout most of the year and average temperatures ranging from 15° C (59° F) in the winter and 30° C (86° F) during the summer.
Its territory, which spans about 1,300 kilometers (806 miles) from north to south, is divided into two states: Baja California and Baja California Sur. In the former, Tijuana stands out as one of the most visited border cities in the world, thanks to its popular bullfights, dog racing, cultural center and its famed contribution to international cuisine: the Caesar salad. Also in the state of Baja California, you can visit Ensenada, a town surrounded by nearby vineyards, which explains why it has become the peninsula's cultural capital in recent years. Or you can do some whale-watching at la Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Scammons Lagoon), where you can spy the Gray Whale. Also nearby is Rosarito, one of Mexico's top destinations for scuba diving and fishing.
In the peninsula's southern state, Baja California Sur, you'll find incredible natural scenery: beach resorts deserts, nature reserves and the mountains of the Sierra de San Francisco, where you can witness magnificent cave murals or visit old missions. What's more, you can enjoy the numerous spas and resorts of Los Cabos, one of Mexico's most popular destinations, which also offers top-notch golf courses. North of Los Cabos, in La Paz and Loreto, you can do some sportfishing, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, scuba diving and whale-watching on the Sea of Cortez.
For road trips, it's worth noting that you can drive across the region along the Transpeninsular Highway, which stretches from Tijuana to Los Cabos. You can also travel by way of the so-called Escalera Nautica, a nautical route that stops at various ports along the coast.

In Genesis 3, Satan tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. She ate and gave some to Adam to eat. Realizing the sin they had committed, they hid from God. When God challenged them, Eve blamed Satan and Adam blamed Eve. We have been blaming others for our sins ever since. As Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclestiastes 1:9, NKJV).
In Luke 14:16-24, Jesus was relating a parable where he establishes the futility of excuses before the face of God. People were invited to a great supper and each person who had been invited had an excuse why they were unable to attend. The host of the feast was so infuriated that he revoked their invitations and said that "none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper" (14:24).
At the heart of many excuses lies a clever sleight of hand. For example, far too many have refused to become Christians because they could identify a Christian who was more sinful than they were.
Excuses are useless in the ear of an all-knowing God. He can never be fooled or distracted. As Galatians 6:7 says, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked." The writer of Hebrews says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13).
There will be a judgment where "each of us shall give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12) because "we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" (Romans 14:10). John later wrote, "And the dead were judged according to their works" (Revelation 20:12).
Taking responsibility for our own sins is one thing we most abhor and yet God requires. We must all stand up and be ready to face the consequences of our sins. No one else will stand at the judgment for us. No one else will be blamed for our actions or thoughts.
When we sin there are contributing factors such as the influence of others, circumstances, opportunities and such like. None of those ultimately has any bearing on our responsibilities before God.
Immodest clothes fill clothing stores, but that does not remove the responsibility to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9). Profanity is now considered normal, but that does not alter my responsibility to have pure speech (Proverbs 17:20).
As a Christian, if I attend a congregation with a terrible song leader, that does not negate my command to sing (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16). If the only place to worship is a congregation where no one speaks to me, that does not remove my responsibility to attend worship in the Lord's church (Hebrews 10:25). If the building always has extreme temperatures, that does not change my requirement to worship. A Christian that is rude, does not remove my responsibility to be kind (Ephesians 4:32).
In our modern times, we spend billions of dollars trying to remove the consequences of sins. Moreover, we are seeking to label sins as diseases and the result of genetics which contribute to our refusal to hold ourselves accountable for our actions.
Admittedly, this will be against our nature and will require great effort. God knew that. That is why he told us that we should follow him and not the world (Ephesians 4:1; 5:1). Moreover, our companions will be even more important because they can lead us away from God very rapidly (1 Corinthians 15:33).
Let us begin taking responsibility for our actions before it is too late.

Earlier this week, Google announced its new HP Chromebook 11, the company's latest iteration of the inexpensive notebooks that run its Chrome OS. Physically, it borrows its design scheme from the older Chromebook Pixel, the company's high-end notebook designed to rival Apple's MacBook retina screens. It is retailing for $279 (Rs. 17258.94) in the US and is being sold by a host of online retailers.
Talking about its specs, the laptop uses a 11-inch screen, ARM-based Exynos 5250 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and two USB ports. It weight about a kilo and comes with 100GB of Google Drive storage for two years and 12 free GoGo in-flight Internet sessions.
Samsung, Acer, HP and even Lenovo have all brought out their own versions of the Chromebook over the years, but the most successful of the lot happens to be the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook which came out in October 2012. Ever since its debut, the product has stayed on top of Amazon.com's Notebook Bestseller list, beating everything from powerful gaming laptops to the super sleek MacBook Airs.
In the US, Chromebooks have also been integrated into the public school system. Several institutions give their students these sleek notebooks, eliminating the need for paper and note books in most cases. Students receive notes, schedules and multimedia content for all their lessons on these notebooks.
Owing to their low cost, efficient performance and solid feature set, Chromebooks have become an amazing option for those in search of an inexpensive, simple, Internet-centric notebook for the entire family.
Interested in learning about what makes the Chromebook so unique? Go through the slider for more information on that.

Chrome Browser
Google's Chrome OS is a Linux based operating system that's designed to primarily work with web applications. Its built around Google's popular Chrome Web Browser and requires users to use Google's entire ecosystem of Apps to perform all their functions. So the notebook is targeted at users who spend a the vast majority of their time on the Internet.
Google Eco System
So what kind of Apps does it run? Well, Chrome OS calls upon the power of Google's vast app ecosystem. So if you wanted to browse the Internet, there's a chrome browser. If you want to watch videos, then there's a built in video player for that. There's Google Docs And Drive for all your office productivity and much more. Plus, the Chrome Web Store has a massive selection of apps from the most popular developers, meaning that you'll be able to perform most functions with ease and convenience.
Google Centric
So if you're a big fan of Google's services, then the Chromebook should be perfect for a vast majority of your everyday functions. There's Gmail, an Office suite, You Tube. Google Hangouts for Video Chatting, Google Drive for Online Storage and much more. Think of it as an OS that's centered around your Google account.
Cross Device Syncing
Since both Android and Chrome OS use Google services, its easy to work with your data from both devices. So lets say you clicked a picture on your Android Phone, you can immediately edit it from your Chromebook because the pictures have already been auto uploaded into your Google Photos account.
Virus Free
Since Chrome OS is a relatively new platform and has a growing user base, its not in the sights of hackers and virus-developers. Plus, viruses that affect regular PCs and Macs can't lay a scratch on a Chromebook.
Unique User Account System
Since everything on a Chromebook revolves around Google Apps and your Google account, you can simply sign out of your Chromebook and let a friend sign in with his own ID. This way, he won't be able to access any of your data and documents. Plus, he will have access to all his stuff since everything on your Chromebook is backed up online. This also means that you can use a friend's Chromebook like its your own by simply logging into it with your Google account and getting access to all your data.
Starts Up in Seconds
A Chromebook can start up in mere seconds, meaning that you're only moments away from all your data, applications and work if you've hit the power button. Since the OS is lean and light, these notebooks are capable of a serious amount of speed and efficiency.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- The discontinuance of its synthetic fuel operations cut a slice out of Marriot International's fourth quarter bottom line, with the hotel giant posting solid revenue gains but adding that growth may start to slow in 2008.
Before the start of trading, Marriott MAR, +0.77% said that profit was down 20% to $176 million, or 46 cents a share. On a continuing operations basis, it earned 62 cents a share, in line with both its own forecast and the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Financial.
Marriott's total revenue came in at $4.09 billion, an 8% gain, with revenue per available room (RevPAR, a common industry metric) up 8.1% worldwide and 6.2% in North America on a comparable basis.
Management and franchise fee revenue gained 19% for the quarter, while incentive management fees rose 31%, the company said. It opened 10,800 rooms in the three-month period, 25% of them outside the U.S. and roughly the same percentage converted from competing brands.
Worldwide company-operated comparable house profit margins increased 130 basis points on the back of higher room rates, lower utility costs and improved productivity.
Chief Executive J.W. Marriott, Jr., described 2007 as "another terrific year," in the earnings report.
"Significant unit growth, RevPAR gains, and property-level margin improvement combined to deliver record management and franchise fee earnings, he said. "We recently celebrated our 3,000th hotel in November, the JW Marriott Beijing, and we introduced two new brands, Edition and Nickelodeon, which position us well for the travelers of the future."
However, the company expects worldwide systemwide comparable RevPAR to rise 3% to 5% this year with first quarter EPS of 32 cents to 36 cents, or $2 to $2.10 for the full year. Thos target compare to the current Wall Street estimates of 41 cents and $2.13, respectively.
Shares were down fractionally at $34.77 in early action.

The Rotarian Magazine is our link to the greater Rotary world. The pictures and stories tell us of the wonderful work that is being done, in and through Rotary, to make the world a better, safer and a more peaceful place all because we are advancing the key elements of social justice, health projects, and educational opportunity and alleviating the dire effects of poverty.
A person is not free if they are hungry. A man is not free when he has to watch his children die because of the lack of clean water or adequate food. A mother will not be free if her sick child cannot receive medical care and when people are not free they will seek social justice even if it means going to war to achieve it.
Our magazine, paid for in our RI dues, is not junk mail. It makes you and me literate in the great story of Rotary. Read it. Share it with others. Drop it off in a public area where literature is offered, a dentist's reception area, the waiting room at your local hospital or when you go to your accountant's office to pick up your tax filings. Plant the seeds of Rotary by sharing our great story.

Catch a wave to the coast and visit us this summer.. Come to Torquay for a super special visit during the holidays, see the sights, taste the delights, get salty and sunny at Cosy Corner Beach (as pictured above), and of course come and meet us at the Oishi-m shop! Here's some of our suggestions for awesome places to visit in our region.
The official start point of the Great Ocean Road, Torquay is Victoria's surfing and beach worship capital. Dose up on surf culture and heritage while you're in Torquay, the home of Bells Beach and birthplace of iconic brands Rip Curl and Quiksilver. Surf City Plaza is a shopping precinct devoted to the sport, so stock up on the latest gear or bag yourself a bargain from the Baines Court Surf Seconds Outlets. While you're there, capture the spirit of surf culture with a visit to the Surf World Surfing Museum with pictures and hands-on displays.
Families play on the protected beaches like Cosy Corner or Fisho's, while the more experienced go surfing at nearby Jan Juc or tackle the bigger swells of Bells Beach. Prefer to stay dry? Stroll along sandy beaches beneath towering cliffs or take fine views of the coast from vantage points along the Surf Coast Walk.
While at it's busiest in the hot summer months, Torquay is a year-round destination. We're all about 'sharing the love', so here's a round up of some of our fave local hangs:
Cafe's with playground - Moby. Comfy space for wood-fired pizza and brekkie, with live music and a secure outdoor playground for kids.
Fresh sanga's - Sandwich Shack (opposite Woolworth's).
Best Coffee - Mejavo's or Pond (sensational ocean views, great food & coffee).
Best Chai and Hot Chocolates - Torquay Larder. Their hot chocolate will leave you speechless with it's melted Lindt chocolate base. Yummy cakes and morsels too.
Fish and Chips - Fisho's. Overlooking Fisherman's Beach, locally sourced fresh seasonal fish and produce is our go-to for amazing meals (and we love taking visitors here)!
Image of Fisho's boxes above by @riifika on instagram.
Taco's - Taco Truck. Cliff St, we love the '3 for..' variety deal.
Interesting Japanese - Roku Den. The Tofu Chips are to die for.

Best family outing: Fresh berry picking at Raven's Creek Berry Farm, Moriac.

Girls night out - Senors for tapa style share plates and cosy drinks, or newly-opened Ole Mexican for the latest fresh Mex in town!
