Friday 7th September.
We decided to pick the kids up from school before 2pm, so we could be on the road hopefully before the build up of traffic on the M2. Our plan worked just, as there was only a small amount heading towards Richmond.
We had chicken snitty wraps for dinner in the truck as we knew we wouldn't get there in enough time to cook something. There were very dark clouds to the south of us the whole time we travelling along the M2/M7, with lots of lightening in the distance, looking very menacing. We only got a very small amount of rain which was lucky considering the very dark sky that was looming.
Made it to Newnes by 8.30pm, with only a few other campers in the area we go which is just across the creek. There was lightening in the background, along with the deep rumblings of thunder, which made us rush that little bit faster while putting the trailer up, with the kids all pitching in.
We had 10 mins to spare after setting the trailer up, ready for bed before the heavens opened and down it came, hail, thunder, lightening and rain. It was over before it started, hard and fast, but still lovely to lie in bed listening to the thunder and light drops of rain.
Saturday 8th September.
Awoke to a rather damp grey day, which was fine as we were going to take it easy for the day. We all rose at different times, having breakfast when we felt like it, the coffee pot was on a few times, with the kids now liking a weak cup!!
We decided to do the trek up to Mystery Mountain the next day so headed off instead for some firewood, so we could get it going earlier in the afternoon. We drove back along the road for quite a while before stopping at a few places to grab some timber for our fire!!
Back at camp the kids got the ball out and played a bit of touch footy after lunch, not really for warmth, as it wasn't terribly cold, but just for something to do. They did make a little friend from the next campsite that was rather keen to join in!!
There was wildlife a plenty, with kangaroos, wallabies and wombats wandering around the area, the wombats looking very fluffy and healthy, more so than we have seen here before.
Jase and I struggled to get the fire going, actually, it took us a long time as the timber was rather damp, as was the undergrowth and the 'small' stuff you need to start a fire. Took us a bit, nearly giving up and saying to the kids, 'no fire', 'no dinner', but eventually we got it going and turned into a cranking fire.
The fire was beautiful, as the evening was getting a wee bit cooler, so the warmth was delicious. We cooked chops over the coals with assorted char-grilled veggies, which everyone enjoyed. The rain stayed away, to reveal a very clear sky, hopefully staying clear for the rest of our weekend. Megan, Keira and I went to bed after cups of tea, while Kye and Jase stayed up and listened to the footy on the radio, it was nice to be in bed.
Sunday 9th September.
It was a beautiful morning with blue skies and a slight breeze, making for great conditions to head up to Mystery Mountain in the late morning, after breakfast and coffee's of course. We got ready then headed off, looking for the 'cairn', showing us where the walk started. It was a very steep climb, straight up, with a narrow track, then turning into rocky steps, making it's way up the side of the cliff faces.
It was a tough track but the kids managed it, even towards the end where it was really steep, rocky and windy. We didn't make it to the top, but for safety reasons we decided to pull up just short of the summit, as it weaved around the cliff face, headlong into the strong wind. Our campsite was the tiny little speck in the bottom clearing. We stayed up there for a little bit, taking in the views before making our way back down, which was going to be harder than walking up, I think.
It seemed a lot steeper heading down hill than it did going up, easier on your lungs, but much harder on your body. We all made it down safely without anyone having a stack, always a good thing. We tried to work out where we had walked too from the bottom, but it was too hard to tell, it did look a long way up though.
We had lunch, then unfortunately started the pack up of trailer, ready for the trip back to Sydney. We have such a routine now that it gets done quickly and everything goes in it's own spot. We were finally set up and ready to leave by just after 2pm.
The drive home was uneventful, with no traffic, even coming into Sydney which is surprising. Even though it was a short weekend away, it's still nice not to be in the rat race of a big city. Looking forward to our next trip, with the planning of it also exciting.

Posts for: February, 2017
Some people are lucky — they never seem to have a mishap, dental or otherwise. But for the rest of us, accidents just happen sometimes. Take actor Jamie Foxx, for example. A few years ago, he actually had a dentist intentionally chip one of his teeth so he could portray a homeless man more realistically. But recently, he got a chipped tooth in the more conventional way… well, conventional in Hollywood, anyway. It happened while he was shooting the movie Sleepless with co-star Michelle Monaghan.
"Yeah, we were doing a scene and somehow the action cue got thrown off or I wasn't looking," he told an interviewer. "But boom! She comes down the pike. And I could tell because all this right here [my teeth] are fake. So as soon as that hit, I could taste the little chalkiness, but we kept rolling." Ouch! So what's the best way to repair a chipped tooth? The answer it: it all depends…
For natural teeth that have only a small chip or minor crack, cosmetic bonding is a quick and relatively easy solution. In this procedure, a tooth-colored composite resin, made of a plastic matrix with inorganic glass fillers, is applied directly to the tooth's surface and then hardened or "cured" by a special light. Bonding offers a good color match, but isn't recommended if a large portion of the tooth structure is missing. It's also less permanent than other types of restoration, but may last up to 10 years.
When more of the tooth is missing, a crown or dental veneer may be a better answer. Veneers are super strong, wafer-thin coverings that are placed over the entire front surface of the tooth. They are made in a lab from a model of your teeth, and applied in a separate procedure that may involve removal of some natural tooth material. They can cover moderate chips or cracks, and even correct problems with tooth color or spacing.
A crown is the next step up: It's a replacement for the entire visible portion of the tooth, and may be needed when there's extensive damage. Like veneers, crowns (or caps) are made from models of your bite, and require more than one office visit to place; sometimes a root canal may also be needed to save the natural tooth. However, crowns are strong, natural looking, and can last many years.
But what about teeth like Jamie's, which have already been restored? That's a little more complicated than repairing a natural tooth. If the chip is small, it may be possible to smooth it off with standard dental tools. Sometimes, bonding material can be applied, but it may not bond as well with a restoration as it will with a natural tooth; plus, the repaired restoration may not last as long as it should. That's why, in many cases, we will advise that the entire restoration be replaced — it's often the most predictable and long-lasting solution.
Oh, and one more piece of advice: Get a custom-made mouthguard — and use it! This relatively inexpensive device, made in our office from a model of your own teeth, can save you from a serious mishap… whether you're doing Hollywood action scenes, playing sports or just riding a bike. It's the best way to protect your smile from whatever's coming at it!
If you have questions about repairing chipped teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Artistic Repair of Chipped Teeth With Composite Resin" and "Porcelain Veneers."
If you've undergone treatment for periodontal (gum) disease, you know how involved it can be. After several sessions of plaque and calculus (hardened plaque deposits) removal, your swollen, red gums finally begin to regain their healthy pink color.
But with gum disease, the battle may be over but not necessarily the war. If we don't remain vigilant, there's a high chance you'll experience a re-infection.
That's why periodontal maintenance (PM) is so important for gum disease patients after treatment. Plaque, the thin film of bacteria and food particles responsible for the infection, can grow again on your tooth surfaces as it did before. You'll have to practice diligent, daily brushing and flossing to curb that development.
But it's also important to keep up regular dental visits for advanced cleaning to remove hard to reach plaque and calculus. For most people that's usually twice a year, but for gum disease patients it could be up to four times a year, especially just after treatment. And there's more to these visits than cleaning.
Since our goal is to reduce the chances of re-infection as much as possible, we'll thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and any implants for signs of disease (we'll also include an oral cancer screening). We want to assess the health of your teeth and gums and to see how well you're doing hygiene-wise with plaque control.
If we find signs of gum disease, we'll discuss this with you and schedule a new round of treatment. The sooner we initiate treatment, the better your outcome. In some cases, we may perform procedures that make it easier to access and clean areas where plaque tends to build up.
Overall, we want to prevent the occurrence of any future disease and treat it as soon as possible if it re-occurs. Keeping up diligent PM will help ensure your gums continue to stay healthy.
If you would like more information on after care following periodontal (gum) disease, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

Use the signotec Delta to accurately capture the signature on a stationary system with a large 25.5cm (10.1″) full-color display, perfect for displaying full documents at the point of sale (POS).
The signotec Delta Signature Pad is designed for applications where it is important to be able to read complete documents before signing them. A4-documents are displayed in their original width. You can comfortably scroll through the document by using the pen. You can start the downward (or upward) document sliding only by brushing the screen with the pen tip. This motion will start the screen scrolling. It is the ideal solution for banks, government agencies as well as for companies where complex documents must be read before signing.
However, the technique used is unique. Unlike other 10-inch devices on the market, the signotec Delta Signature Pad is a true signature pad and not a simple monitor extension. The signotec Delta has the same SDK as all other signotec Signature Pads and is also integrated in all applications. What are the advantages of this? As an integrator and developer, you can fully interact with the pad: Download PDF documents to the pad, create your own graphics, images and texts, create buttons and capture the signature in various formats. At the same time, you benefit from the highest security standards when collecting and transferring signature data.
The signotec Delta pad can be placed on the desk in a space-saving manner or can be brought into an oblique position with its integrated stand. In addition, it comes with a 75 VESA- mounting fixture for mounting on third-party VESA mounts. There are two pen holders for the best ergonomics and the respective application: either horizontally above the device or inclined to the user.
Use the signotec Gamma to accurately capture the signature on a stationary system with a large 12.5cm (5″) full-colour display, perfect for the paperless point of sale (POS).
The LCD Signature Pad signotec Gamma is already the fourth Signature Pad for capturing handwritten electronic signatures, which was completely independently developed and which combines over 15 years of development, experience and competence. With external dimensions of 145 x 177 x 12 mm it is very compact and sets new standards in design and functionality. This device provides the ideal platform for a robust customer-facing eSignature architecture.
The ultra-flat Signature Pad is convincing with its innovative sensor surface made of special toughened glass with ER-Technology, as well as its high-resolution full-colour display, which makes the excellent display of graphic and text information possible. The ER-Technology is suitable for on-screen hand writing, it is only sensitive to the ERT-Stylus, not influence by hand touch, no erroneous input.
The ERT (electromagnetic resonance technology) implements a powerful non-contact handwriting input guarantee an outstanding quality of the signature capturing on the pad – with the particularity, that from now on even movements of the pen in mid-air can be captured. This special batteryless pen with exchangeable tips is capturing 1.024 pressure stages. The signotec Gamma's construction ensures an extremely long service life of 30 million signatures, and unbeatable durability with the highest security.
The Alpha Pad is the newest product from the signotec development department. It differs substantially from his two brothers "Sigma" and "Omega". That affects not only the size, but rather the technology regarding to capture the coordinates of the pen and even the parameters for processing.
Thanks to its display size of 15,6″ it is the only Signature Pad on the market, which has the ability to display A4-documents in their original size.
In doing so its not just a monitor extension, but rather a "real" Signature Pad like Sigma and Omega with the same powerfu,l free of charge programming interface.
Even the requirement of the written form, which is e.g. essential for loan agreements, can be fulfilled with the Alpha Pad:
The signee places the original document on the Pad and then signs both, the original and the digital document, simultaneously via digital blueprint.
If the paper document is not required as a result of the principle of freedom of contract, the ballpoint pen cartridge can simply be replaced with a plastic one.
It is then possible to electronically sign full-page documents directly on the high-resolution display.
Large pen pads are highly sought after by users who want to display complex documents that have to be signed.
Delivery notes with several items or multi-page contracts that you can scroll are just two examples.
Standard pen pads are just too small for this. While there are already large devices on the market that enable signing,
these are usually just monitor extensions where the signer still sees all the other applications running on it.
To make the displayed content remain privat, the Device is provided with a "privacy viewing" technology".
Thanks to that the cotent is protectet against prying eyes.
The Pad stands out through its plane surface, consisting of hardened mineral glass.
To attach further devices, there are 2 USB-ports on the back of the device.
You are able to "print" documents directly into your Pad and sign them on the spot.
The signature is going to be placed exactly on the same position in the electronic document as on the pad.
So there is no need of configuring signature boxes.
The Alpha is going to be connected via USB or Ethernet. So it can directly be used on the PC or in the LAN.
Of course there is also an Alpha version for a terminal server environment.
If the Pad is not in use, it´s also suitable as an excellent advertising medium for slide shows, thanks to its huge internal storage which also chaches statistic content.
A further advantage is the open VESA-bore, located on the back (VESA MIS-D 100C, 100x100mm) for easy mounting.
The signotec LCD Signature Pad "Sigma" is the little brother of the successful Signature Pad "Omega". The "Sigma" is a device to signatures, fully developed by signotec and made in Germany, with an unbeatable price-performance ratio. Measuring just 160 x 120 x 10 mm, it is extremely compact and therefore ideal for the mobile use. When used stationary it still shines with it's flat contruction and the optional pen holder.
The high sensor rate also allows for sweeping signatures, without the user inadvertently reaching the limits of the sensor. This is vital to ensure that the signature is captured naturally and securely. Furthermore, extensive graphical and textual information can be displayed, which often plays an important role in stationary use. As a result, the pad is also an inexpensive alternative for stationary applications.
The transfer of data from the pad to PC is encrypted, tehreby it is not possible to spy on the biometric features of the signature. Since the electronics, firmware, drivers and applications have been developed by signotec itself, the hardware and software are matching perfectly.
tThe signotec LCD signature pad "Omega" is the big brother of the successful "Sigma". A signature capture device "Made in Germany" fully developed and produced by signotec with an unparalleled price/performance ratio. With outside dimensions of 180 x 191 x 15 mm it is extremely compact with an especially appealing design. This device allows you to set clear trends at your POS.
The powerful signature pad captivates with a flat surface without edges between sensor and case, for ultra-ergonomic signing. Pen and sensor convey a feeling similar to writing on paper. Plus, the rounded sides allow the heel of the hand to transition smoothly from signature tablet to table, without disrupting the signing process. The pen itself has the size and feel of an actual ballpoint pen and works entirely without electronics and power supply. Replacing the passive pen is inexpensive and the pad can continue to be used if the pen is lost.
The outside of the Omega can be customised to meet the customer's wishes, in any colour, and even be imprinted with the customers logo.

linux.conf.au is in Perth this year, and it's perfect timing for me as I won't have to travel out of the city for my first attendance. As the conference jumps between universities across Australia and New Zealand each year, the last time it was held here was eleven years ago.
While I'll have to betray my soon alma mater and enter the foreign realm of the University of Western Australia, it'll be interesting to meet some people from its University Computer Club, the counterpart of ComSSA, and see how things are done over on the other side.
There are so many great events that it's nearly impossible to list them all here, and even more difficult to choose what to attend in the sea of overlapping conference tracks.
Everything from Go and Rust to kernel hacking, smoothly scaling web applications to GPU programming, filesystems, text editors, Arduino and almost anything else you can imagine will be in one place next week.
There's simply far too much for me to do it any justice, so don't take my word for it, just go anyway. To conclude with an obligatory plug, there are 9% of the conference tickets still yet to be sold, so now is the time to register. It's only $99 for us notoriously poor students.

How Oro Nation was made a conduit pipe between 2007- 2015
By Emmanuel Nicholas
I read with dismay, when I went through a news story accredited to former Commissioner from Oro nation who decried the inability of Government to complete Etebi Ewang and 19 Roads in Oron Metropolis.
Ordinarily I wouldnt want join issues with him but the mere fact he tried to link Governor Udom Emmanuel to that misfortune.
Basically my job is to research and document facts and present to both Government and the entire public .
Let's keep the record straight lest we mischievously distort history just because of 2019 elections . Let out conscience be our guide.
Available records still reveal that on the 29th of November, 2007, Senator Godswill Akpabio awarded a contract for the construction of Etebi-Ewang road in Mbo and Esit Eket Local Government Areas to a company named SINOENG Construction Company Limited.
The initial contract awarded amounted to #6.266billion.
The completion period for the contract was for (24) twenty four months from the date of the acceptance of the offer. On the 6th January, 2010 the contract was reviewed to the sum of N5.738billion, without stating why the additional work that attracted the review. With Reference No.GO/FGPC/S/6/VOL.XIX/1124 Addressed to the Managing director of Messrs SINOENG NIG.LTD 1 Wihu Road, Isheri Oke Ogun State)
Records shows that on 20th December, 2011. The contract was further reviewed an the sum of N 7, 218, 833, 596. 38k (Seven Billion, Two Hundred and Eighteen Million ,Eight Hundred and Thirty Three Thousand ,Five Hundred Ninety Six Naira Thirty Eight Kobo).(on this please fine attached a document titled construction of Etebi Ewang Road With Spur:
Additional Works dated 20th December, 2011 With Reference No.GO/FGPC/S/6/VOL.XIX/1024 Addressed to the Managing director of Messrs SINOENG NIG.LTD 1 Wihu Road, Isheri Oke Ogun State) was again added without stating what necessitated the review of the contract.
From the facts gathered, a total sum of N 19, 188, 603, 159. 29 (Nineteen Billion, One Hundred and Eighty Eight Million, Six Hundred and Three Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty naira Twenty Nine Kobo)was paid for the construction of Etebi-Ewang Road in Mbo Local Government Area. Records further prove that the total sum of N 19, 188, 603, 159. 29(Nineteen Billion, One Hundred and Eighty Eight Million, Six Hundred and Three Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty Nine Naira, Twenty Nine kobo)only was paid in full .
Notwithstanding the fact that the contract sum was paid in full, the project was never executed. I want to bring to your notice that the said company SIGOENG construction company limited was floated by close relation of Senator Godswill Akpabio that was why the initial contract sum and the sums involve in the two variations were paid to the bank account operated by Relation .
This is to say that Senator Godswill Akpabio awarded the contract for the construction of the Etebi-Ewang road in Mbo Local Government Area to his wife his relation.
And the contract sum from the available records were paid into a bank account operated by this relation , on this, see the documents title Interim/Final Payment Certificate N:o 19 Nineteen Dated 27th August 2014). this is against the provision of Section 1 of the code of Conduct for Public Officers which provides that "a public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflict with his duties and responsibilities". It is also worthy of note that the said contract was awarded against the laid down provisions of the law especially Section 23 (1) of the Public Procurement Act which provides for the bidding of a contract before same is awarded. There is no records to show that the contract for the construction of the said Etebi-Ewang Road in Mbo Local Government Area was ever advertise for the public to submit their bids. This shows that the Governor now a Senator illegally and without due process of law awarded the contract to his relation company without recourse to the already stated provisions of the law.
Apart from the fact that the contract was never advertise for the public to submit their bids, the act of awarding a contract to his relation was in contravention of the law as stated above.
The law does not allow public office holders to use their position for their selfish interest or to put himself in a situation where his interest conflict with the discharge of his official duties ,the fact that Senator Akpabio awarded a contract to his relation contravene the provisions of that law as stated above.
It is also worthy to bring to your notice that the contract for the construction of the said Etebi-Ewang Road in Mbo Local Government Area was never executed, as the road is in a very deplorable state at the moment even though it is on records that the contract sum was signed by the governor and same was disbursed in full to a bank account operated the Governors relation . The worst part of the deal is that even when the contract was not executed, the then Governor now Senator did not care to recover the contract sum which was paid in full from SIGOENG construction company as provided for in section 6 (1) of the Contract Law of Akwa Ibom State.
The law for the avoidance of doubt provides thus: "where a procuring entity uses a method of procurement other open bidding, it shall include in the records required under section 47 a statement of the of the reasons and the circumstances on which it relied to justify the use of that other method''. There are no documents to show that ever since the contract was not executed, the then Governor had recovered the contract sum which was paid in full back to the State's purse.
Again, on the 21/03/2011 the then Governor of Akwa Ibom State now Senator Godswill Akpabio awarded a contract for the rehabilitation of Oron Urban to STEMCO. According to the initial scope of the contract, the contract was for the construction of 19 streets and a out fall water drainage at Mainland Avenue to control flood water by technical school through Bassey lane, across Efiat street through Efiat lane along Agric lane along Awana Esin to the apostolic church, to Abestonate and through custom yard.
The original contract sum was N10, 717,238 114.00( Ten Billion, Seven Hundred and Seventeen Million Two Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand, One Hundred Fourteen Naira) and from all available records, the contract sum was signed/approved by the Governor and same was disbursed.
The contract was not subjected to bidding as required by the Public Procurement Act which regulate the award of contracts by government and its agencies in Nigeria. Apart from the bridge of due process in the award of the contract, it is also worthy to bring to your notice that notwithstanding the fact that the contract sum was paid in full ( on this please fine attached a document titled Iinterin And Final Payment Certificate No:5 five dated 6th December, 2012) the construction company STEMCO had abandoned the construction and the condition of the road now is life threatening which leads to the re-awarding of a contract for the construction of the same road that had been awarded and huge sum of money paid for.
Senator Godswill Akpabio, fully aware that the contract he had awarded was abandoned did not call on the contractor to return to site or return the money paid to them as required by the Contracts Law of Akwa Ibom State this goes a long way to prove that he is aware of the fact that the contract sum was diverted for personal use by persons unknown.
There are many other projects that were awarded but abandoned during the tenure of Senator Godswill Akpabio without the then Governor reacting either by compelling the contractors to go back to site or invoke the provision of Section 6 (2) of the Akwa Ibom State Contracts Law and get the sum paid to the contractors back to the purse of the Akwa Ibom State Government.(On this, please find Attached a Document Titled : Construction of Oron Urban Road Lots 2, 3 and 4: intervention by STEMCO Limited With Reference No. GO/FGPC/S/6/VOL.XIX/308 Addressed To The Managing Director, Stemco ,Limited, 142 Woji Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State ).
Out of the 19 roads that was awarded and fully paid for , only three was completed .
Oro nation you clearly see who is their enemy , and who is their friend , Governor Udom Emmanuel out those abandoned roads , have completed Efiat Lane , Efiat Street , Bassey Lane , Bassey Street , Awanasin street , post office street and Maryanne .
Apart from those completed ones work have reached advance level in the following projects , Abastonit Street and Custom Yard , Muritala Street , Uyo Road and beach street .
On Etebi -Ewang Bridge , Governor Udom Emmanuel have long rewarded the Contract to Amitex Construction and the road works have been completed while the bridge is almost at 60% completion .
We should not come to the altar of God to tell lies to the people , by this you provoke truth that supposed to be kept secret and sacred to be told in the market square .

As with many fathers and sons, fishing has become an important bonding ritual. My father spent a great deal of time as a boy fishing in the lakes, streams, bays, and oceans of Long Island. Each year we go out together to try our luck.
The thing is, we're not much when it comes to being Fishermen. We have tried to fish in the great unpolluted lakes of Minnesota, Canada, Montana, Maine and the rest. We never have much luck though we spend thousands in travel, airfare, apparel, equipment, etc. We only tend to catch a decent amount of fish when we are on the Great South Bay.
While I was in college, I managed to save up enough of my Internship money one summer to buy a small boat. The name was 'Good Enuff.' Very appropriate I thought. For weeks that summer we tried fishing in a bunch of novel places – places away from the big, loud, expensive charter boats crammed with Boy Scouts, retirees, and drunks playing hooky from work. No need for that garbage! We had our own boat! We were going to go where the big boys couldn't. A funny thing happened though. We caught no fish.
One weekend we got a tip from our neighbor, a NY city Fireman who had this beautiful fishing boat and came home after each trip with enough fish to feed our entire block for a month. He told us the secret: Go to the East side of the Robert Moses bridge, wait for the tide to go out, then drift and fish. We were skeptical. We had been on that trip before – that's where all the loudmouths on the charter boats were!
Anyway, a few weeks after not catching anything we took his advice. Not surprisingly we caught our share of fish! The next weekend I went to visit him to thank him (and get more advice!) and I asked him why it worked. I was expecting a complicated answer about the tide mixing up the food on the bottom or something about the diurnal clock of the fish or ambient light or whatever. His answer was simple: 'It's where the fish are.'
Sure enough, if you want to catch a lot of fish, go fish where the fish are. When I created an account on MySpace this week I saw that they had some 77 million users. That's a lot of users. Most of them are between the ages of 15 and 30. All I could think of was 'That's where the fish are.'

Gourmet Finger Food Catering Clyde Vic
8 Insider Tips For Choosing the Right Gourmet Catering Service In Clyde
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an event, couple of are as crucial as the quality, taste and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice of which catering service to employ, and if you believe this decision truly isn't really that crucial, look at it this way, remarkable catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will often send guests to the doors.
In addition, since catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for a lot of occasions, the caterer you choose is also a considerable budgetary choice and can affect how much money you have actually left over to spend on other areas depending upon food costs and amounts.
Add in the fact that caterers can vary considerably in their rates and the kinds of meals and services they offer, and the procedure of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily since how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial discussions is a sign of how they will carry out during the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later on).
A potential catering service should be discovering as much as they can about you in your very first few conversations with them, so you should anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering answers and outlining your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Handle Your Particular Kind Of Event In Clyde 3978
Not every caterer is perfect or every kind of event, and numerous caterers themselves openly confess this.
So when interviewing your Clyde catering services (and you ought to consult with at least 3 catering services for any occasion with an affordable budget), you have to be specific about the type of occasion you are planning and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might wind up choosing a catering service who merely isn't really a good fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Virtually every caterer has a basic menu or menus to choose from, and numerous do offer some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your particular needs by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and want to create fantastic fare that matches a lot more particular style and dietary needs.
# 3 Willingness To Provide Tastings
How will you ever know what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you know what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they want for their occasion due to the fact that it seems like an inconvenience for the caterer, but it is standard to request a tasting of exactly what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (once again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small price to pay to ensure you choose the right caterer). When you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any catering service who puts in the time to properly display a sample will most likely be most likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who needs to manage catering details, budget plans and projects?
Or are you a caterer who has to track proposals, invoices, meal choices, inventory and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may be in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraiser. Or if you pick a high-end business event catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Because these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more specific depending on restrictions of the location itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Even more standard locations can also have restrictions that caterers need to follow, like particular setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a venue's guidelines can possibly save you lots of hassle on occasion day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The catering service's contract ought to plainly spell out precisely what food, drinks and services the caterer will be providing on the designated day( s). Additionally, it must protect you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you might want to think about having a lawyer} look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail needs to be included in the agreement, consisted of chosen menus, number of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service details (if appropriate) and all prices and extra services.
No caterer in Clyde with a shred of dignity and scruples participates in a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you have to make sure there is a cancellation clause in your contract simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so just ensure cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 References You Can Call and Speak With
Obviously you will need to look into the caterers in Clyde you are considering, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps authentic); for example, a great caterer might have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who skew their scores, while a truly mediocre caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past clients of the caterers you are thinking about and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance coverage "a given" for catering services, and you certainly don't want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Staff
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Clyde has been around might not be as crucial in choosing an excellent caterer as you may think.
So make certain to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV since he or she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

The supernatural elements actually appear with the albatross, which has arrived in order to help guide the Mariner's ship through a fog bank. When the Ancient Mariner kills the albatross, he has not only violated concepts of gratitude and hospitality, he has, on a whim, killed a living being that has come to same him and his ship. I believe we are meant to see the albatross, in part, in a Christian context--like Christ, who came to earth to save us, the albatross arrives to save the mariners and their ship, and the reward for this generosity is his execution.
Nature itself becomes relentlessly supernatural after the killing of the albatross: the wind stops, temperatures climb, drinking water runs out. These are not merely problems for a ship at sea; they are all life-threatening. The crew, sensing its own complicity in the Mariner's action, decide to hang the albatross around his neck, an allusion to the concept of the Judeo-Christian scapegoat, who wears an amulet representing the sins of the people and is sent into the desert to die for everyone's sins.
As we know, several horrific supernatural elements seal the fate of the ship and crew--slimy snakes from the bottom of the ocean come to the ship; a ghost-ship, with the figures of Death and Death-in-Life, arrives and the entire crew dies (Death) but the Mariner remains alive (Death-in-Life).
The Mariner's salvation comes when he, unconsciously and full of pity, blesses the slimy sea snakes, and the albatross falls from his neck, an indication that Nature and/or God has forgiven his original sin of killing the albatross. His penance, however, is not complete, for he has to keep telling his story, first to the hermit on the pilot boat and then to the Wedding Guest. It's only after the repeated telling of this awful tale that the Ancient Mariner achieves some peace. Unfortunately, the Wedding Guest is negatively affected by the tale, avoids the wedding, and wakes up the next day "a sadder and wiser man."
The supernatural elements, then, themselves contain elements of Nature's wrath at wanton cruelty, as well as implicitly Christian elements, that together create the retribution the Mariner suffers and the salvation he is offered at the end.

Mobo award nominee DavidB drops Titi Lai Lai produced by Mosa
Titi Lai Lai is a sweet, beautiful, inspiring and moving song by the multi award winning singer songwriter – DavidB. 'Titi Lai Lai' is Yoruba (Nigerian language) phrase for 'forever'… it talks about being there for the people you love, forever!
The route to work has birthed so many unfinished melodies and incomplete lyrics which stay on DavidB's phone and may never see the light of day. This one had to though! Commitment, honesty, vulnerability, and love are a few words to describe the emotions of 'Titi Lai Lai'.
DavidB wrote it with the amazing MOSA who is a talented Artist and Producer in Lagos, Nigeria. He produced the song and DavidB recorded it at his studio in Lagos. The song is unique because it strikes the right balance between a light hearted beat and deep words. It carries weight and substance yet it gets your head bopping. This song is about choosing to love someone from a place of vulnerability and transparency.

Evgeny Freidman, the taxi mogul, warned New York officials this spring that he was too big to fail and asked for a bailout of the taxi industry. He didn't get one. So, on Wednesday, he filed a petition to put many of his taxi medallion-owning companies into bankruptcy.
Medallions are the licenses many cities require to operate taxicabs, and their limited number has made them increasingly valuable over the last several decades. As recently as the summer of 2013, the kinds of medallions Mr. Freidman owns were worth as much as $1.2 million, far above the $739,000 of debt per medallion that is indicated in the bankruptcy filing.
However, since 2013, medallion prices have fallen as Uber and other app-based car services have created uncertainty in the taxi market. Medallion owners in several cities, including New York, have reported increased difficulty finding drivers interested in leasing their cabs, as both drivers and passengers have switched to Uber.
Medallion lenders, responding to the deteriorating market conditions, have tightened credit or exited the market, leaving owners like Mr. Freidman in a difficult position. Citibank has sought to foreclose on 46 medallions owned by companies owned by Mr. Freidman after several loans matured in January and Mr. Freidman did not repay them. Citibank declined to extend the loans, and Mr. Freidman has struggled to find alternative financing, according to an affidavit accompanying the bankruptcy petition, which seeks to halt the foreclosures.
Mr. Freidman, whose holding companies have names like "Vodka Taxi LLC" and "Pudding Taxi LLC," alleges that Citibank refused to extend the loans for nefarious reasons.
"It is suspected that Citibank's strong desire to develop a relationship with Uber is a key motivator in its decision to pursue unreasonable positions against the debtors," he said in the affidavit. As evidence, he pointed to a news release in which Citi announced its employees could use Uber for official business travel.
But there's a simpler explanation for why Citi would want to foreclose: Its loans are due and haven't been repaid. It is typical for a secured lender to foreclose when it has not been repaid at maturity and fears the collateral may deteriorate in value.
"We are disappointed Mr. Freidman has chosen not to honor his contractual obligations," said Andrew Brent, a spokesman for Citibank. He called the claim about Uber a "laughable conspiracy theory."
It's not obvious what a New York City taxi medallion is worth today. The last reported sales of fleet medallions, which may be owned by nondrivers like Mr. Freidman, were in March, at an average price of $925,000. But only eight such medallions have been sold this year, two of them pursuant to an agreement entered several years ago, according to the Taxi and Limousine Commission. This matches the sharp decline in transaction volumes seen in other cities, including Boston and Chicago.
Despite the handful of transactions near a million dollars per medallion, it's not clear that a portfolio of 46 medallions could command a price sufficient to repay the Citibank loans today or at any time in the future. The future value of taxi medallions will be heavily dependent on future policy choices, including whether New York City imposes new restrictions on Uber such as the cap on new nontaxi livery vehicle licenses supported by Mayor Bill de Blasio and opposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. (Update: the de Blasio administration is dropping the cap proposal for now.)
In the bankruptcy affidavit, Mr. Freidman projected confidence about that price trajectory. "The debtors are confident that the market will rebound and correct, and that the medallions will continue to hold their historic value," he said.
Citibank, apparently, is not so sure.

ELYRIA — The third man wanted in a murder-for-hire plot that led to the shooting death of Willie Fisher has been brought to Lorain County.
John Sullivan, 29, of East Cleveland, is set to be arraigned in Elyria Municipal Court this morning after being transported from Cuyahoga County Jail.
Police say Sullivan is one of two men Bruce Arnoff, 56, of Solon, paid $500 to kill Fisher. Fisher's body was found near Convenient Food Mart on East Avenue in Elyria on July 6. The crime was caught on video, according to the prosecutor.
Arnoff and the other man alleged to be part of the plot, Patrick Gall, 18, of East Cleveland, have both had their cases bound over to the grand jury to decide whether to indict the men. Both men were arraigned the week after the fatal shooting took place.
Sullivan, however, wasn't arraigned in Elyria Municipal Court due to his being arrested in Cuyahoga County shortly after the police say Fisher was killed.
He was pulled over reportedly for speeding on Interstate 480 by Brooklyn police less than four hours after Fisher's body was found. He faced charges of having weapons under disability, according to court documents.
A warrant was issued for Sullivan on July 10, but he remained in Cuyahoga County custody until his case was resolved Wednesday.
According to court records, Sullivan pleaded guilty to having weapons while under disability on Wednesday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. He was sentenced to one year in prison.
Judge Carolyn Friedland ordered Sullivan to be transferred to the custody of Elyria police for the pending aggravated murder charges. Sullivan was booked into Lorain County Jail about 11:16 a.m. Thursday, according to the Lorain County Sheriff's Office.
Bond hasn't been set in Sullivan's case yet, but both Arnoff and Gall are being held on $2 million bond.

America's National Parks provide the ideal setting for building lifelong memories
When it comes to enriching the lives of older adults, not-for-profit Road Scholar is always innovating. For the summer of 2019, the educational travel organization is unveiling a new kind of experience in its collection of popular learning adventures for grandparents and grandchildren – camping in National Parks.
Led by naturalists and expert local staff, Road Scholar participants and their grandchildren (ages 8-18) will learn about our nation's greatest natural treasures as they camp in tents and embark on outings throughout the parks. The initial offerings include programs in Zion, Bryce, Yellowstone and Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota.
"Being outdoors and engaging kids in learning about the natural world is a stimulating alternative to a smartphone screen," said James Moses, President and CEO of Road Scholar.

Detroit Police are trying to find out who assaulted a 20-year-old woman and left her to die in an alley in southwest Detroit.
A passerby found the badly beaten and unconscious woman around 6:20 am Wednesday in an alley off Otis, near Cicotte.
Investigators say it's unclear if the woman, who was only partially clothed, was also sexually assaulted.
By Wednesday afternoon, Detroit Police were able to identify the young woman and notify her mother so she could rush to the hospital to be by her side.
Police describe her condition as critical.
Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

7 Warning Signs of Low Serotonin Levels
Adequate levels of serotonin in the brain help us feel positive, happy, calm, and safe. Low levels of this neurotransmitter can lead to negative or worried feelings and irritability. A serotonin deficiency can make you feel pessimistic, sad, mistrustful, or even cause a panic attack. It can lead to depression, anxiety, and other health problems. Today we will discuss signs of low serotonin.
Serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter, which is a type of chemical that helps transmit signals from one area of the brain to another. This neurotransmitter is a powerful brain chemical, and its presence or absence has a great influence on our mood. Determining if the neurons are not releasing or receiving enough is the first key step in overcoming problems related to impulse control and mood.
With proper levels of serotonin, the brain can function properly.
This neurotransmitter has many functions in the brain and the body. In the brain, it regulates mood, social behavior, libido, sleep, memory, and learning.
What does serotonin do?
As a neurotransmitter, serotonin helps convey messages from one area of the brain to the another. Due to the wide distribution of cells that have serotonin receptors, it is believed that serotonin levels influence different psychological functions as well as the regulation of physiological processes.
This means that of the approximately 40 million cells in the brain, the majority are influenced directly or indirectly by serotonin. This includes brain cells related to mood, desire, sexual function, appetite, sleep, memory, learning, temperature regulation, and some social behaviors. In terms of body function, this neurotransmitter can also affect the cardiovascular system, muscles, and different elements of the endocrine system, among others.
The relationship between serotonin and depression
There are many researchers who believe that a serotonin imbalance can influence mood to such an extent that it could cause depression. Possible problems include:
- Low serotonin production in brain cells
- Lack of receptor sites capable of receiving the serotonin that is produced
- Inability of serotonin to make it to receptor sites
- A scarcity of tryptophan, an essential amino acid necessary to synthesize serotonin.
Researchers believe that any of these biochemical failures could cause depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, panic attacks, or even excessive anger. However, there is still a lot of research to be done on the link between serotonin and depression.
Do my neurons release enough serotonin?
Being able to identify a serotonin deficiency can help measure and take action to raise serotonin levels. So even though depression and subsequent joylessness are the most well-known signs of low serotonin, they certainly aren't the only ones. In fact, recognizing other signs and symptoms can help us prevent depression, anxiety, and worse.
Symptoms of serotonin deficiency include frequent anger, unusual sensitivity to pain, carbohydrate cravings and binges, constipation, and digestive disorders. Other signs and symptoms are: feeling unwell due to lack of sunlight, feeling overly dependent on others, feeling overwhelmed, insomnia, migraines, low self-esteem, and poor cognitive function, among others.
We will now analyze some of the most important signs that indicate low serotonin levels. These signs are important because they are the easiest to detect at an early stage.
Cravings for sweets and foods high in carbohydrates
It is well known that carbohydrates, especially sweet and starchy foods like pastries, chocolates, fruity candy, french fries, hamburgers, and other snacks, directly impact serotonin levels. That's why people with low serotonin levels often crave carbohydrate-rich foods and eat compulsively.
These foods temporarily raise serotonin levels and make you feel better. However, shortly after consumption, serotonin levels drop drastically. This dramatic decrease in serotonin leads to drowsiness, hostility, anxiety, and depression.
The amount of available serotonin also directly affects melatonin production. When serotonin levels are low, melatonin production is also affected. This domino effect ends up altering the circadian rhythm.
When this happens, it is extremely difficult for a person to follow the natural sleep-wake pattern. Specifically, the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep is negatively affected. Don't forget, however, that insomnia can have other causes as well, not just serotonin deficiencies.
Serotonin must be available to be converted into melatonin, the hormone responsible for managing our biological clock
Through the observation of brain images, researchers have shown that frequently anxious people release a lower amount of this chemical substance in the areas of the brain responsible for impulses and emotional control.
It is worth mentioning that insufficient release of this important neurotransmitter is generally not the only factor in the development of anxiety disorders, although some people have a genetic predisposition to low serotonin levels. In reality, there are three other neurotransmitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid, dopamine, and epinephrine, that also play a role in anxiety disorders.
Low serotonin is associated with generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Cognitive deterioration
Serotonin is an important chemical for normal cognitive function. Research has shown that sufficient levels of this neurotransmitter improve cognitive ability and can help to compensate for limited cognitive function.
Though it is believed that serotonin plays a role in all thought abilities, its most significant impact is on memory. People with low levels of serotonin are more likely to have problems with memory consolidation.
Digestive problems
Serotonin is an important chemical in the transmission of signals between the brain and the digestive system. It is worth pointing out that, although this neurotransmitter is almost always associated with brain function, mood, and mental well-being, a surprising 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut, not in the brain. However, serotonin used by the brain must be produced in the brain because serotonin produced in the intestine does not travel to the brain.
Nevertheless, while research about the function of serotonin in the gut is relatively new, we know that it plays an important role in appetite and digestion. In fact, the reason that there is so much serotonin activity in the gut is still somewhat of a mystery.
In addition, scientists have discovered a link between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and insufficient levels of serotonin. It has been shown that when the insufficiencies are corrected, the digestive function in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome often returns to normal.
Fatigue or exhaustion
Serotonin levels play an important role in energy production. Some people who experience chronic fatigue show insufficient levels of this chemical substance. When serotonin levels are replenished, people suffering from fatigue often notice a marked improvement in their energy levels.
While feeling fatigued or exhausted could be the result of many different conditions, don't eliminate the possibility that there could be a serotonin-release problem. In the long-term, chronic fatigue increases the possibility of a reduction in serotonin release.
Changes in libido
Among the many properties of serotonin is its effect on libido (sexual desire). Low levels of this chemical substance are directly related to a greater desire to have sex, but also with a decrease in the ability to emotionally connect with the other person. This is not a good recipe for a satisfying relationship.
In addition, fluctuations in serotonin levels can affect attitude, not to mention the physical abilities related to sexual activity.
What to do if you have low serotonin levels
If at all possible, try to increase your serotonin levels in a natural way, without medication. Here are some ways to increase your levels:
- Get moving with activities that you enjoy. Do exercise that allows you to have fun, not suffer.
- Eat protein-rich foods that contain tryptophan.
- Eat carbohydrate-rich foods like vegetables, dried fruits, beans, and whole grains (the brain needs sugars to process tryptophan). You don't need too many carbohydrates, so eating vegetables, dried fruits, rice, and legumes will give you what you need.
- Avoid foods high in saturated fat and simple sugars.
- Eat foods rich in Omega-3 for optimal brain function.
- Limit your caffeine consumption.
- Get enough sleep.
- Eat foods rich in B-vitamins, especially Vitamin B6 (this vitamin is important for the development and function of serotonin in the brain).
- Spend time outside and get plenty of sunshine.
- Practice meditation and mindfulness.
As we have seen in this article, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in your health. Serotonin-release deficiency can seriously compromise very important processes such as emotional regulation and sleep.
