The Golden Horn beach, regularly listed as one of the top spots in Adriatic, located close to the town of Bol, has become a symbol of the island Brač. Golden Horn beach is an act of the sea. Grounded on top of an underwater reef, beautiful golden coloured rocks have been washed by waves since the early days of our planet. Spit extends South into the Hvar Channel for a length of 600m (2,000ft). Winds, waves and sea currents change the shape of the beach every two or three years. Golden Horn just at the narrowest part of the Hvar channel acting as a sort of amplifier for all NW, W and SW winds, which Zlatni rat makes an extremely attractive location for windsurfing.
- Destination: Brač
- Maximum passengers: 10
- Duration: Full day (9hrs)
Tour can be customized on your requestSend us email
The Golden Horn Tour begins at the moment you meet our Getaway crew and yacht at the harbour. Sun rising from the East and coffee on board is a promising start to the day for everyone.

RIMOUSKI, QUÉBEC–(Marketwire – Feb. 9, 2011) – Petrolia Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEA) and Corridor Resources Inc. (CDH – TSX) are pleased to announce the results of Macasty shale core and petrophysical analyses from the Petrolia/Corridor Chaloupe #1 well on Anticosti Island. Pétrolia and Corridor hold licenses covering more than 1.5 million acres on Anticosti Island that is underlain by the Macasty shale. The Macasty shale is the lateral equivalent of the Utica shale that occurs through the Quebec and into New York.
A twenty-seven meter Macasty core was cut during the 2010 summer drilling program and analyzed by Weatherford Labs in Houston and Global Geoenergy Research Ltd in Halifax. This data was incorporated by Schlumberger Canada into a petrophysical program that calculates shale reservoir properties.
The following table shows the results of the full diameter core cut in the Macasty of the Chaloupe well.
Core Parameters Macasty Shale
Mineralogy (Average %) Quartz 37, Carbonate 25, Clays 21, Other 17
Macasty Total Thickness 40 m (131 ft)
Total Matrix Porosity 3.1 to 6.3% (Ave 4.9%)
Oil Saturation 35.2 to 48.3% (Ave 41.9%)
Gas Saturation 1.0 to 14.7% (Ave 5.0%) (1)
Water Saturation 41.5 to 63.8% (Ave 53.1%) (2)
Desorbed Gas Content (Ave) 41 scf/ton
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) 1.9 to 3.87 wt% (Ave 2.97 wt%)
Maturity 0.55 (Ro %) (3)
Main Kerogen Type Type II
Oil Gravity 35+ API
(1) Gas underestimated due to lack of pressure preservation
(2) Water saturation is overestimated as it includes water expelled from clays within the shales
(3) Ro suppressed by high oil saturation
These results are positive indicators that the Macasty shale may be a potential tight oil producing formation as described below:
An average Total Organic Carbon (TOC) of 3% indicates a rich source rock. Global Geoenergy (geochemical consultants) advises that the vitrinite reflectance (Ro) and Thermal Alteration Indices (TAI) data indicate that the rocks in the Chaloupe # 1 well should be within the early part of the mature oil window. This oil maturity is supported by rock evaluation data (Tmax and S2) generated by Weatherford Labs.
The average oil saturation is 42% and the total hydrocarbon saturation (plus gas) is 47%, which indicates a relatively high oil concentration. The desorbed gas content indicates a reasonably high gas-to-oil ratio that can assist in the potential resource recovery.
The matrix porosity averages nearly five percent, which is a positive indicator for potential resources initially in place.
The mineralogy indicates that the rocks should be favorable for fracing due to the high quartz and carbonate content and the low clay content.
Petrolia and Corridor engaged Schlumberger Canada to analyze the petrophysical logs using the results from the core analysis to calibrate the logs. Schlumberger computed an average porosity and an average oil saturation for the Macasty and English Head formations in the Chaloupe #1 well. Schlumberger calculated high hydrocarbon saturations (80%) and porosities (6% effective) in the Macasty Formation, with saturation and porosity declining in the overlying English Head Formation. These results are positive indicators for the potential of significant oil in place within the Macasty shale.
Nineteen of the twenty wells drilled across Anticosti Island have intersected the Macasty shale. However, the quality of those shale intersections has not been evaluated from a resource in place context.
Petrolia and Corridor will be actively evaluating their joint venture options regarding further exploration and determination of resource potential, in order to ensure that optimal shareholder value is obtained from the ongoing programs. The Anticosti exploration program is at an early stage; further work is required to determine the potential for commercially viable resource recovery, prior to proceeding to the development phase.
About Corridor
Corridor is a junior resource company engaged in the exploration for and development and production of petroleum and natural gas onshore in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Québec and offshore in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corridor currently has reserves of natural gas at the McCully Field near Sussex, New Brunswick and shale gas resources in the adjacent Elgin sub-basin. In December 2009, Corridor entered a joint venture to appraise and potentially develop its significant shale gas resources in the Elgin area.

text: I got my wood! Redmoor wood that is: I have an idea what I'm going to do with it, its going on the right side of the tank, branching to the left side. Its long enough to get past half way too! (about 50 - 60cm at its longest I'd say). I'm going to attach small patches of flame moss to some of the branches, probably lower down, and maybe some weeping moss higher up to sort of make a bit of a "stalegmite/stalegtite" arrangment. At the base of the wood and in the right corner will be narrow and needle java fern forms, along with some anubias nana and maybe some christmas moss. Above in the right corner is amazon frogbit giving it a little shade, hopefully the roots growing down will add to the overall branchy/spindly look On the left side are some Crypt. Balansae (quite a few). The intention is they'll grow over and almost echo the wood, branching towards the centre (flow from the filter outlet is that side). Also on that side is a crinum calimistratum to give a similar shape but a bit more rigid and even more branchy looking. My problem is, what do I put going from left to middle? I've thought about maybe a nice bunch of Echinodorus latifolius to provide a spikey bush effect. I've pondered other crypts, but I'm not really a fan of broad leaf plants. Though I might be convinced otherwise... I'm open to suggestions! I need help! Edit: Oh yeah, current tanks stats (for those that don't know): Tank = Rio 180/47 us gal (101cm long x 42cm wide x 53cm tall *ish* ) Light = 85 watts from 2x Arcadia Freshwater and 1x Zoo Med Ultrasun. CO2 = Pressurised via 2kg fire extinguisher and currently using a glass diffuser (may switch to some other way) on for 24hrs Ferts = EI dosing 3 times a week as per sticky thread Substrate = Tetraplant Complete (1cm or so layer) under pea gravel.

A stroll through our local shopping mall brought me upon several winter displays. These little fellas were at the North Pole arrangement. The igloo, polar bears and penguins, are what many people envision when they think of "Cananda". Athough you may see the polar bears in some colder regions, Igloos are becoming scarce. Penguins, I believe, are actually creatures of the South Pole. But they make a lovely addition to this winter scene, which is the only place in Maple Ridge where you will see any of these creatures!

Hi, this reminds me of a Coka Cola ad where polar bears are playing with penguins, in reality, the polar bear would eat the penguin, if it could catch it.
Penguins can only be found in the southern hemisphere, there used to be a penguin type bird in the North Atlantic, the Great Auk, it became extinct by being boiled down for oil. Boy this Christmas thing is fun.

In an interview with Broadly, a line in the introduction caught my eye.
"Once poised to become the breakout star of Destiny's Child, Rowland's path to success has involved more recesses from the spotlight than expected."
This implies that she isn't quite the break out star that we all expected. However, the interview takes a surprising turn when Rowland informs the interviewer that she's not having the world tell her who she is. This, I believe, is a good moral story for the woman who's had it with the naysayers; for the girl who's gotten more beat down than she has gotten lifted up.
Rowland's hit single, Dirty Laundry which was released in 2016 was an open letter of sorts. She dished on her fleeting moments of jealousy towards fellow Destiny's Child star, Beyonce, and her old abusive relationship. This, I believe was her turning point.
Ever since then, Kelly's career has had numerous high points. From bagging endorsements, to playing producer to OWN tv's 'Chasing Destiny'; to her role in the hit competition, Xfactor as she replaced former singer, Britney Spears as a judge, and authoring a motherhood book entitled; Whoa Baby, the singer has definitely achieved numerous milestones. You can also catch her looking like a smoking hot tamale in customised designer outfits (she's got a banging bod so of course, every designer wants her wearing them) or on the arms of her beloved husband with her 3-year-old, Titan (who by the way loves 'say my name') cuddling close by. If that isn't a blessed life, I don't know what is.
I'll end off with her words which I believe are a key take-out for you and I.
"Believing things that people said about me. That was probably the hardest one. If someone says something negative, nine times out of 10, it's usually a situation where it's something they secretly feel they are, and they project that onto you. You have to know not to own it. It's so funny because I'll tell young girls that now, [though] I know that they don't understand at that moment. I pray that some of them do. You really have to remind yourself how much people project."
"You can't allow the rest of the world to tell you who you are. Otherwise, you'll internalize all of the insecurities of the world."
You heard it from Kelly, stop internalizing people's opinions of you, more often than not, they're a reflection of battles they're encountering in their own lives.
The star also revealed that she has new music coming out soon, so we're definitely anticipating that one.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the famous philosophers whose ideas on freedom, rights, duties, justice, morality, etc. continue to have considerable effects on the regime of universal human rights and post-modern thoughts. Study of Jurisprudence in law schools is considered incomplete without lectures on Kant.
In conventional terms, freedom is said to be coterminous with the idea of non-interference and absence of obstacles in pursuit of one's wants and desires. But this is not true freedom according to Kant because in pursuing one's wants and desires, one is only choosing the means and not the ends. He means that the ends in form of those wants and desires have already been predetermined by various social and biological needs. We sleep and eat because of our biological needs and if we are choosing the place where we can sleep or the food which we can eat, we are only choosing the means and not the end which is sleep. Similarly, our desires to progress, to earn money, to live a good life, etc are conditioned by the social circumstances in which we are brought up. True freedom according to Kant lies not in choosing the means but the ends. To enunciate upon this idea, Kant draws a contrast between heteronomy and autonomy. If I do certain things because of something else, it is heteronomy which is not freedom. For example- I am studying in a medical college because I to want to become a doctor; I want to become a doctor because I want to earn good money; I want to earn good money because I want to live a good life, etc. Even if my motive behind becoming a doctor is to serve poor and needy, it is still a heteronomy.
To act freely according to Kant means to act autonomously and to act autonomously means to act according to a law which I give to myself and not according to the motivations or inclinations determined by social or natural conventions. An act is also not moral if done for any motivation or inclination such as pleasure, satisfaction, love, jealousy, hate, anger, etc. Only if an act is done for the sake of itself and not as a means for something else, it is moral. In other words, something is moral when done as a duty and not because of some inclination/motivations behind it. If my act of doing something is motivated by its consequences, neither I am acting freely nor morally. This is indeed a tough and unique standard of morality and freedom which is not easily demonstrable or practicable in a day to day life. That's why the philosophy of Kant is known as transcendental idealism.
But Kant believes that Human beings possess this capacity to act freely and autonomously and this is what gives them a special dignity which must be respected in all cases. Respecting human beings according to Kant means treating Human beings as an end in themselves and not as a means for pursuing an agenda whatsoever. This understanding is said to have inspired the idea and concept of Universal Human Rights.
With Peace!

Pennsylvania residents may not know that misdiagnoses are the most common reason for medical malpractice claims. This was the conclusion that two malpractice insurance carriers came to separately, and it is backed up by previous studies.
Congress takes action to mandate front and side underride guards
Accidents in Pennsylvania and around the country involving passenger vehicles that slide underneath tractor-trailers claim about 300 lives each year. Federal regulations require logistics companies to fit rear underride guards to their large trucks, but no such rule exists for side and front underride guards. Bipartisan bills that would mandate the installation of side and front underride guards were recently introduced in both the Senate and the House, and they are supported by a coalition of road safety groups that say their passage could save dozens or even hundreds of lives each year. The bills also bring the rules dealing with rear underride guards up to date.
AAA reminds drivers about the dangers of fatigue
While the dangers of fatigued driving are well understood, they're often ignored. Virtually all respondents to a recent AAA poll referred to the practice as completely unacceptable. However, almost a third of them also admitted to recently getting behind the wheel while dangerously fatigued. Data like this is especially concerning to road safety when Pennsylvanians move their clocks forward by one hour to mark the beginning of daylight saving time.
Common surgical tools left inside of patients
One of the scariest forms of medical malpractice is when the doctors accidentally end up leaving some of the stuff they were working with inside of the patient. Imagine feeling more confident about your body after leaving the hospital without knowing that they have left some of their tools inside you. It could take years before you realize the amount of internal damage this equipment is doing to your body.
Surgical skills transcend technical knowledge
When patients in Pennsylvania go into the hospital, they often feel reassured by doctors with a good bedside manner. Those good feelings can be backed up by data, according to experts. Surgery makes use of highly advanced technical skills, but non-technical skills are also an important part of a surgeon's practice. One surgical expert said that in addition to aptitude, ability and ambition, adaptability and humility are important characteristics of a successful surgeon.

The Marrowkai is a skeletal mage in the Chaos empire. The Marrowkai has only two spells, alike medusa. What makes the differences are The spell's effects and the impact he can make in the heat of a battle.
Spell 1: (Reaper, Does not require research) The marrowkai summons a black cloaked figure with a scythe (reaper) and makes him dash to an enemy unit causing the unit to fear and forcing him to run towards the marrowkai making him easy prey for the juggerknights and medusa. This spell is most commonly used to draw out the stickier mages in the back and prevent enemy units from escaping. Reaper, paired with a fast medusa stone face, can instantly kill of a magikill, making a huge difference in battle as the enemy has just lost their magic Support. The cooldown for Reaper is 15 seconds.
Spell 2: (Hell Fists, Requires purchase) The marrowkai slams his fist down upon the earth to bring up a line of undead fists which damage the enemy in a horizontal line. Hell fists can only be cast every 20 seconds and cannot be cast vertically. Hell fists is generally used to pierce through an enemy's defence line and hit the damage dealing units in the back (generally archidons) Hell fists is similar to the magikill's poison spray except instead of poison, it deals true damage. To maxcimize the range of hell fists, Attack from The top of the map and aim to the lower Map.
Useful information: The marrowkai carries four bars of health, allowing him to survive a shadowrath shinobi level 2. Although he will have the sliver of health left when the shadowrath has attacked, he will usually die of poison unless he is healed immediately.
The marrowkai has a slow walkspeed, so always leave him in the back of your army otherwise the enemy will be able to pick him up easily as he will be left behind of your Tanks.
When trying to kill off a marrowkai, always wait until his reaper is on cooldown, otherwise he will make you pay in deathly ways.

So here's a bit of useless trivia. The four reenactors are partially modelled after the four main rebel starfighters from the original Star Wars trilogy. The very first incarnation of the quartet that eventually became Feudal Effort was four unnamed starfighter pilots who were part of the various space battles. They would rant about all sorts of stupid stuff as they flew through their mission (it was written up in play form, with occasional stick figures).Yeah, I was a geek in middle school.
Drew is based on the X-wing. He was meant to be the most relatable character, the "Everyman" of the group.
Scott is based on the Y-Wing. He's the oldest, and is relatively sluggish and bulky. He is in a way the least sophistcated of them all.
Vic is based on the A-Wing. He's the lightest and fastest (i.e., hyper) of the group, and has less power.
Lee is based on the B-Wing. She's the most technically sophistcated and also carries the most fire power.
Their personalities have evolved, but ultimately the starfighter they each flew is what gave them the foundation of their personalities.

School district's retirement costs going up
by Brendan Berube
Staff Writer
write the author
July 21, 2009
ALTON — School board members felt the impact of state budget cuts first-hand Monday night, as Superintendent Kathy Holt informed them of an impending increase in the district's contribution to teacher retirement accounts.
Explaining that the state legislature voted, as part of the biennial budget enacted earlier this month, to cut its contribution to retirement funds for teachers, police officers, and firefighters from the traditional 35 percent to 30 percent the first year and 25 percent the second year, Holt said that under the new figures, the district will have to shoulder an $8,000 increase in retirement during the 2009-10 school year.
She announced at a later point in the meeting, however, that the increase will be partially offset by $7,963.44 in unexpected stimulus funding for Medicaid, which will be turned back to local taxpayers.
Holt also presented the board Monday night with a request from the Local Government Center (LGC) asking for financial contributions toward a class action lawsuit against the state in response to the reduction in retirement funding, which the LGC views as an unfunded mandate, and therefore a violation of the state Constitution.
Noting that the lawsuit was the second one filed so far in response to the state budget, Vice Chair Jeff St. Cyr pointed out that the board chose not to participate last year in a similar retirement suit.
Before making any decisions, he suggested that Holt contact the board of selectmen and ask where the town stands on the lawsuit, since there is no need for two boards from the same community to support it financially.
While she saw no issue with joining the suit since the money would be returned if it was dropped, board member Lynda Goossens questioned the purpose of it, given the fact that taxpayers would foot the bill whether or not the state was forced to contribute more toward retirement funding.
"Which pocket does it come out of?" she remarked.
Board Chairwoman Terri Noyes agreed with St. Cyr's suggestion, and instructed Holt to touch base with the selectmen's office.
Handbooks reviewed
The board devoted the bulk of Monday night's meeting to a page-by-page review of the 2009-10 Student/Parent and Athletic handbooks.
Discussion surrounding the Student/Parent handbook centered on how best to determine a student's academic eligibility for fall sports (an issue the board has re-visited several times over the past few months).
The board ultimately agreed to a policy stating that students who fail a class during the fourth quarter and who wish to play on a sports team the following fall will be placed on academic probation for the first two weeks of the new school year.
During that probationary period, students will be permitted to attend practices, and will be allowed to sit with their team in street clothes during home games, but may not play or attend away games until they attain a minimum grade of 70 in all classes.
During its discussion of the Athletic handbook, the board agreed to allow fifth grade students to participate in track and field and cross country.
Odds and ends
In other business, the board received a discipline report from Assistant Principal Steve Ross; voted to dispose of several pieces of broken or out-dated equipment, including 32 computers that were deemed obsolete; reviewed several policies dealing with field trip guidelines, use of school facilities, volunteer background checks, and admission of resident pupils; accepted the resignation of para-educator Diana Petschauer; and approved a pair of position changes and several stipend positions.
Next meeting
The board's next meeting has been scheduled for Monday, Aug. 10, at 6 p.m. in the middle school library.

First Chris Cuomo's "Fredo" incident, now Don Lemon?! Say it ain't so, CNN.
CNN primetime host Don Lemon was accused of a bizarre, sexually charged assault of a bartender in New York's tony Hamptons last year in a civil suit filed earlier this week.
Dustin Hice, of Florida, stated in the lawsuit that he was living in the Hamptons and working at The Old Stove Pub in Sagaponack during the summer of 2018. On July 15, after closing, Hice claimed he left with the owner and co-workers to party at another bar, Murf's Backstreet Tavern, in Sag Harbor, where they saw Lemon. Recognizing the newsman, Hice offered to buy him a vodka drink called a "lemon drop," according to the suit. Lemon declined the offer, Hice claimed, but later approached him inside the establishment.
"[Lemon] put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers into Plaintiff's mustache and under Plaintiff's nose," according to the lawsuit, filed Aug. 11 in Suffolk County Court, and first reported by Mediaite.
Lemon allegedly asked a crude question about Hice's sexual preference, leaving him "shocked and humiliated," according to the suit.
CNN denied Hice's account and said Hice seemed to bear animosity toward the cable news network.
"The plaintiff in this lawsuit has previously displayed a pattern of contempt for CNN on his social media accounts," a CNN spokesperson told Fox News in a statement.
"This claim follows his unsuccessful threats and demands for an exorbitant amount of money from Don Lemon.
"Don categorically denies these claims and this matter does not merit any further comment at this time."
"Mr. Lemon, who was wearing a pair of shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt, put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers in Plaintiff's mustache and under Plaintiff's nose," the suit allegedly stated.
In the suit, Hice also said Lemon's off-screen demeanor was in stark contrast to the "Me Too" advocate who he often saw on TV.
"When the cameras are turned off, however, Mr. Lemon's actions are in stark and disturbing contrast to the public persona he attempts to convey," the suit reads.
Hice denied going after CNN on social media, telling the New York Post: "I have never ever ranted about anyone, especially a news station. … I am a private, religious man."

EDMONTON AB – The Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) Thunder were looking to redeem themselves tonight against the visiting Lakeland Rustlers.
The Thunder opened up the game with a good run and took the first set 25-22, but the Rustlers had an answer in the second set with back and forth action that tied the series up at 1. The Thunder broke away and went up by 1 in the 3rd set with a huge 25-22 win giving them a path to the finish line. The Rustlers came back with vengeance and took the 4th set 25-18 to push it to extra sets. The Rustlers took advantage of a missed serve and finished the game 15-13 and walked away with the W.
The Rustlers are currently sitting in the 4th place, with some distance between them and the 5th place Kings University, with a point differential of 10 points. The Thunder are battling for a playoff spot and need to win the next couple weeks to keep their hopes alive. The Big Kahuna Player of the Game for the visiting Rustlers is #6 Tyler Williamson and for the Thunder was #1 Marc Langevin. Next weekend the Rustlers will be facing off against first place Keyano Huskies and the Thunder will be taking on the Kings University, and they are given the opportunity to jump over the King's in the standings with a set of wins.

From Japan to Melbourne, sushi has come a long way in the last few decades. While Melburnians have wholeheartedly embraced this Japanese staple, the quality varies greatly from place to place. Unfortunately some establishments just get it wrong: dry rice, fish cut too thin or too thick, huge chunks of wasabi that make your eyes water, limp, floppy hand rolls and, worse still, sushi that's not fresh and smells, well, fishy. For us, good sushi means fresh, high-quality ingredients and not a lot of fanfare. Life is too short for bad sushi.
For many, sushi is a great lunchtime meal that you can eat on the run, so as well as some of our city's best Japanese restaurants, we've also put together a list of a few of our favourite takeaway sushi shops, where you can pick up a couple of hand rolls on your lunch break.
Since opening its doors in 1981, Kenzan hasn't changed much. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Tucked away on Collins Place, up the Paris end of the city thoroughfare, this traditional Japanese restaurant has a solid reputation for delivering some of the best sushi in the city. Known for their traditionalist approach, they serve clean, simple sushi platters in a variety of sizes. If you want a really authentic experience, you can grab a spot at the sushi bar or for larger groups book a private room.
45 Collins Street, Melbourne
A local Armadale favourite, Sozai is a two-storey Japanese restaurant serving high-quality, no frills Japanese. They don't use many sauces or glazes, preferring to keep their sushi fresh and delicious – just the way we like it. They are open seven days and on any given night the place is full of locals happily tucking into their traditionally presented mixed sushi and sashimi platters.
1221 High Street, Armadale
En Izakaya
Run by Andy Gray and chef Makoto Motoyama, En Izakaya opened on Carlisle Street in 2009 and quickly became a local favourite. The menu is broken into three sections: 'From the Garden', 'From the Sea' and 'From the Paddock'. Sushi is served in a traditional manner. Grab a spot at the bar and watch the all-Japanese kitchen roll up your sushi with the care and precision of true professionals. If you feel like something other than sushi they do great things with wagyu.
277 Carlisle Street, Balaclava
It's worth booking a table at this cosy Albert Park stalwart, as the small venue gets busy quickly. A large sushi platter here is enough to feed a small family and it's so beautifully displayed that it's almost a pity to eat it. In summer, a spot outside under the lanterns is lovely.
3/7 Victoria Ave, Albert Park
(03) 9699 9022
The word 'otsumami' refers to small snacks eaten with beer and this Northcote restaurant offers plenty of these as well as some high quality sushi and sashimi platters. The mixed platters change depending on what produce is fresh and available, but usually consist of tuna, salmon, kingfish, prawn and unagi (eel). If you're feeling flexible, slip off your shoes and take a seat on a tatami mat at one of the traditional low Japanese tables.
257 High Street, Northcote
Shira Nui
Since opening its doors in 2003, Shira Nui has garnered a loyal following of diners at its understated premises in Glen Waverley. Head chef and owner Hiro Nishikura has a 13-year apprenticeship under his belt, and knows how to run a proper sushi restaurant. If you sit at the bar, you can enjoy the theatrics of Hiro-san blowtorching salmon or gather free advice on whether to eat your sushi "with soy sauce" or "without".
247 Springvale Road, Glen Waverley
Sushi Monger
At lunchtime, there's always a telltale line of hungry students and office workers snaking from Sushi Monger. But it's worth the wait for arguably the best sushi in the city. Get there before noon to avoid the queues and get the first pick of the fish.
7/309–325 Bourke Street, Melbourne
(03) 9663 0899
For cheap and cheerful Japanese you can't go past Rolls on Carlisle Street. You won't find any old, slightly warm sushi rolls here – its popularity means that rolls are constantly being made. If the roll you want isn't in the display cabinet just ask for them to make it fresh. They'll even cut it up for you.
167 Carlisle Street, Balaclava
(03) 9527 5615
Pink Ginger
Positioned on Chapel Street, Pink Ginger has built up quite a loyal following of regulars. They offer a great range of hand rolls made with both white and brown rice, Inari sushi and premade sushi and sashimi platters.
Shop 14, 402 Chapel Street, South Yarra
Wabi Sabi Salon
For takeaway sushi in the north, Wabi Sabi is our go to place and at $6 for two hand rolls and a miso soup it's great value. Wabi Sabi also has a notable bayside venue in St Kilda that specialises in more formal sit down meals.
94 Smith Street, Collingwood
Suzuran Grocery
Located at top, relatively deserted, end of Bourke Street, Suzuran is a Japanese grocery that also does great sushi. Stop by for one of the largest ranges of soy sauce and tamari in Melbourne and some of the freshest sushi. The menu ranges depending on what fish is freshest that day and platters can be pre-ordered if you're having a party or feeling particularly hungry.
1205–1207 Burke Road, Camberwell
Hinoki Japanese Pantry
The impressive sushi counter, manned by head chef Shoji-San and his crew, puts out a wide range of seriously high-quality and fresh sushi in both traditional and innovative iterations. From the sashimi-grade fillets to Hinoki's own experimental nosé-maki, traditional sushi and sashimi, and chef Shoji's special platters, there's a lot more than your average sushi bar.
279 Smith Street, Fitzroy

NEWFOUNDLAND - It was a short visit, but one we've been waiting to do for a few years. In fact, this trip was delay by two weeks because of the hurricane blowing across the island.
Sherry Griffin, the Station Manager invited me to come, meet the staff, explore "the rock" and see VOAR after many years of only connecting via email. It was such a great visit, we loved it so much, that we're planning a return next summer to go whale and puffin watching!
Dinner at "Relish", hanging out at Battery Road, the view of the Harbour, Petty Harbour, Signal Hill, the Terry Fox site, Witless Bay, VOAR - dinner at Tina's! Aside from the guy cutting his nails at the airport, it was all awesome!
Here's a video from Signal Hill. Probably the highlight, Cabot Tower, location of a bunch of wars but also the location where Marconi got his first radio wireless message from England, in 1901.
|Signal Hill - Cabot Tower. The video above was shot from the top left.
|At Cape Spear - the most easterly point in North America.
|Petty Harbour at sunset. It's an active fishing village.
|OZ FM - mainstream radio.
|VOAR, me with Station Manager and tour host Sherry Griffin
|On Battery Road, Signal Hill on the left, overlooking the mouth of the Harbour.
|Signal Hill, Janice and me.
|Cape Spear, the lighthouse overlooking the ocean, just south of St. John's.
|Returning from Petty Harbour, looking over the city of St. John's.
|Ok, so another highlight - the location where Terry Fox dipped his leg in the ocean on his 1981 run.
|OZ FM - with Lindsey Andrews - "big cheese" - had lots of time for me.
|Quidi Vidi - an active fishing village.

Moving To Shanghai? Read Our Expat Guide To Travelling On Public Transport
Shanghai, being a global financial center and the commercial hub of china, is a busy city with a large population. The city caters to the needs of its citizens, expats and tourists through a wide network of public transportation services. Since adjusting to the complex grid of buses, trains and taxis in a bustling metro can be quite intimidating; we bring you our expat guide to Shanghai's public transport system.
The metro is one of the best ways to avoid the traffic congestion on the roads and get around the city. The Shanghai Metro is among the busiest metro systems in the world and consists of several lines that cover more than 400 km. It is easy to switch lines at interchanges, which are stations where various Metro lines meet.
At physical interchange stations, passengers can switch between lines without having to exit a fare zone. However, at some interchanges, called virtual interchanges, passengers are required to exit the fare zone and buy another ticket before joining another subway line. Regular travellers will benefit from the Shanghai Public Transportation Card, which provides discounts on fares and helps you avoid the hassle of standing in queues to buy tickets. These cards are called 'jiao tong' cards and are available at all metro stations and even at banks and convenient stores. The cards can also be used in buses and taxis, being a type of rechargeable cash card...

When Liberty Media chairman John Malone talks, it's a good idea to pay attention. And this month, the craggy, whip-smart, billionaire cable mogul has set his sights on having the entire cable distribution industry charging for buckets of bits. Which means the Internet in America – as well as in the U.K., Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Switzerland – is in big trouble.
The issue is "cableization" of the entire Internet Protocol enterprise. After all, the cable distribution pipe is just a giant set of channels that will be dynamically reallocated between "Internet" access and other IP-based cable-provided services.
Malone's bet (his word) is that we'll all be buying channels from our local cable guy in the form of IP packets, and the cable industry will pull off the unrestrained monetization of its long-ago sunk cost in installing local monopoly distribution networks:
"…over the years more and more content is going to come all IP, all platforms, random access. And as that happens, the bandwidth demands are going to force market share cable's way... [I]f cable can get its act together … I wouldn't be surprised if you'd see over the top service providers that are wholesale to the cable operator, retail to the consumer, and that are bundled and discounted with the broadband connectivity side of the product offering. As that transpires, I think it's going to change the game pretty dramatically."
Malone calls this "creating value off the scale of a cooperative industry." But creating this value for them is bad news for the rest of us.
What Happens When One Cable Rules Them All ——————————————
Malone is my favorite cable guy because he's frank, smart, and refreshingly outspoken: He admitted in 2011 that "cable's pretty much a monopoly now" because it's the only terrestrial network that can provide the high-capacity, low-latency connectivity needed for the applications of the future.
Cable's only real competition is Verizon's bundled Internet, telephone, and television over a fiber-optic communications network (FiOS) which "ran out of steam" (as Malone put it in last month's shareholders' meeting) when Verizon stopped expanding a few years ago. And AT&T's U-Verse product doesn't run fiber all the way to homes or provide the bandwidth of a cable connection.
All of this means, according to Malone, that "Cable is clearly winning in the U.S. broadband connectivity game." Liberty Media is energetically back in that game, and Malone's got big plans for the global future of the Internet. With 25 million subscribers worldwide following his acquisition of British cable company Virgin Media in February 2013, Malone's company is now the largest cable distributor in the world.
Now he wants to "get together" with the other cable giants to "create global scale."
In February, Malone bought 27% of the fourth largest cable distributor in America, Charter, a company that faces minimal competition from either FiOS (just a 4% overlap) or U-Verse (20%). Charter's balance sheet and Malone's access to long-term, low-interest financing will allow him to roll up additional cable distribution companies across the country. Meanwhile, Malone's sorry he ever sold his TCI cable systems to AT&T for $54 billion in 1999, because he knows "the most addictive thing in the communications world is high-speed connectivity."
While innovators around the world want to develop world-changing applications that require a lot of bandwidth – think telemedicine, tele-education, anything requiring "tele"presence – they're in for a shock.
Because they (or their users) will have to pay whatever cable asks for the privilege of that reach.
That's Malone's plan: He wants the cable industry to sit right in the middle of the road that runs between online innovation and users, asking for tolls from applications and users alike.
How Will They Get Away With It? The Plan Behind the Plan ——————————————————–
To make his plan work, Malone wants the cable industry to act collectively. His logic: Ensure that no maverick breaks ranks and provides users of IP bits with unlimited capacity at a reasonable price.
The key tool he'd like the industry to use to bring this vision to life is tiered pricing on the user side.
We've known for a while that the cable industry is interested in charging for buckets of bits used during a given period of time. We also know that tiered pricing is based on justifications such as fixing congestion, or recouping network investments.
But tiered pricing has little or nothing to do with either of those things.
Having made their significant network investments some time ago, the big cable guys are in harvesting mode and have been reaping enormous revenues for years. Comcast's and Time Warner Cable's revenues of $172 billion (between 2010 and 2012) were more than seven times their capital investment of $23 billion during that same period. Not only are all of the big cable companies' revenues exponentially larger than their capital expenses, but this difference is getting much larger over time [see chart].
Usage caps are aimed at "fairly monetiz[ing] a high fixed cost," former FCC Chairman Michael Powell said earlier this year. (He's now the head of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, which is clearing the way to drop the words 'cable' and 'telecommunications' from its brand by renaming itself "NCTA: The Internet and TV Association".) The caps are not aimed at addressing high-bandwidth uses at peak hours, which might degrade the online experience of other users. (Outside peak hours, it makes no difference to the functioning of the network if someone is downloading a lot of bits.)
In a non-competitive local market, data caps are excellent tools with which to make as much money as possible from an existing monopoly facility. Although cable distributors could charge end-users a low flat fee for high download speeds – and Malone is confident that he'll get his systems to gigabit downloads with very little investment – they have no reason to.
So Malone's planning a use-based program that goes into broadband connectivity, "so that, you know, Reed [Hastings, CEO of Netflix] has to bear in his economic model some of the capacity that he's burning … And essentially the retail marketplace will have to reflect the true costs of these various delivery mechanisms and investments."
What he's really saying is: Anyone who wants to use my pipes will have to give me money.
The cable industry, already gingerly exploring tiered pricing and usage-based billing, argues that such consumption caps are fair. They're not choosing winners and losers, they say, they're just drawing lines that affect every online application equally.
But that's not true. A data consumption cap has the same effect as a priority lane or a toll-free lane for favored applications. It will reliably dampen demand across all users for any online application that is subject to the cap, according to French consulting firm Diffraction Analysis' November 2011 report, "Do Data Caps Punish the Wrong Users?"
So some big guys will pay to avoid the cap, and little guys will be stuck trying to reach new customers who are worried about overage charges.
It's not too late to pay attention to John Malone.

Clary sage is an essential oil that has a lengthy history of being a go-to oil for many medicinal needs. Its original name is salvia sclarea and it is known as an antiseptic, anti-convulsive, antidepressant, antispasmodic, anti-fungal and astringent. It comes from a perennial herb that grows during the middle of the year. Originally found in parts of Central Asia and North Africa, it was first discovered in the Mediterranean. Here are some key benefits associated with this potent and effective oil.
Relieves Menstrual Symptoms
Once a month, many women experience symptoms that completely throw them off of their game. Menstruation is the cause of unsavory symptoms such as irritability, cramps, food cravings and bloating. Clary sage is a great way to combat these uncomfortable interrupters because it manages to balance the hormone levels in a natural way. It can also be used in this way to help stimulate the system. Due to its antispasmodic qualities, it's perfect for those painful cramps that can sometimes force some women to stay in bed. Mix a couple of drops of the oil with coconut oil and rub it on your lower belly and back.
Supports Hormone Balance
As stated above, this oil is known for its ability to balance out of whack hormones. Many times, those who deal with hormone imbalances aren't even aware that is what is causing their distress and unease. Our diets, our environment, even what we put on our skin, deeply affect our hormone production and excretion. An imbalance is more common than many people realize. High levels of estrogen are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cancer. Add this oil to your daily lotions or body butters to help regulate any out of balance hormones.
Treats Insomnia
Having a difficult time getting to sleep can be something that's really difficult to manage. If you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep and you've tried countless other suggestions just to get some rest, but to no avail, try a bit of clary sage. Due to the sedative properties within the oil, it can help to promote a calm and relaxing response in the body that makes it much easier to fall into a restful and restorative sleep. Try adding a couple of drops to a diffuser or rubbing some on your wrists before bed.
Improves Circulation
Lack of proper circulation can be something that affects many different parts of the body - especially the organs and the brain. As blood attempts to be pumped through arteries, any type of inflammation or elevated blood pressure can cause discomfort and have long-term, negative effects. Clary sage is great for lowering blood pressure so mixing it with a bit of almond oil and lavender oil can provide a nice blend that both relaxes your mind and your internal system as well. Inhalation is one of the key ways to use this oil. Just a whiff of it will have the receptors in the brain reacting in a way that is productive for the body.

You can purchase clary sage oil online from several companies at amazon.com.

Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde
Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?
Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan.
But whose? and why?
Lost in a Good Book is a fantastic title for a book about stories and lives on the written page. Haven't we all, now and again, been caught reading a good book and felt like the book was reality around us? In this second book Thursday Next is discovering that that is exactly what she can do after her adventures in the Eyre Affair (review here if you haven't read The Eyre Affair, please do not read further on) where she was able to jump into Jane Eyre with the help of her Uncle's invention.
Just when Thursday thought everything was going well, married to Landen with life just calming down after the excitement of the Eyre Affair, she has to deal with her reality crashing around her and being on her own again. Luckily Thursday is resourceful and the book has a cast of supporting characters who are well written and, like the rest of the book, amazingly quirky. These include Thursday's time travelling father who always manages to visit Thursday in the nick of time. As well as her work colleague Bowden, who has a very level head when dealing with Thursday's problems. We also meet new characters such as Miss Havisham from Great Expectations, who has apprenticed Thursday into Jurisfication which is almost like a police force that polices the inside of books, which is not unlike Thursday's day job Spec-Ops27.
The world of Thursday Next is imaginative and set in a very different world of 1985 with Gravitubes, Mammoths, Dodos and Neanderthals along with some of the best names you will read in many a book. This is a zany, fast paced book where you can't help but need to know what happens. Thursday Next has gone from strength to strength in her first two adventures. This is a world that has many contradictions, but if you have the imagination to follow you will not be disappointed.

I was out on the Motorcycle, and while waiting in traffic saw a hand lettered sign "Used Book Sale". Well, I'm constitutionally incapable of passing that sort of thing up, and so pulled into the parking lot. It was the Milton (GA) Library raising money. It was late in their display time, and so most of the selection was pretty well picked over.Got them for $1 a book. Yes, I am a nerd.
Fortunately, my tastes are a little (ahem) eclectic. I cruised over to the history section, and saw this:
That's The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant. 10,000 pages of Pulitzer Prize winningoverview of Western Civilization.
I've gotten through volume IX, The Age Of Voltaire. Nine down, and two to go. Unexpectedly, I've started to run down. I cruised through the first four with relish, and Volume 3 saw me through the convalescence from the motorcycle accident. The nurses thought I was a little unusual bringing a book like this to the daily hour long antibiotic infusions, but you can make some progress when you're stuck in a chair. Unless you forget the damn book. The volume on the Renaissance surprised me at how interesting it was, but that was sort of peak interest.
Since then, it's been slower going, and it's been harder to keep myself focused. I found myself skipping over a fair amount in volume IX. I think that it's because the earlier books covered a lot more time, and so were more of a survey - and this is why I got them. The more recent the time period, the more detail there is. Quite frankly, a lot of the detail isn't particularly interesting.
I guess this means that I've taken the measure of my nerdiness, and have found my limits. I think I'm going to take a hiatus on the last two volumes for a bit. Just not up to wading through 800 pages on Rousseau.

The members of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations have made flu preparedness a major priority over the last few years. Recently, a hearing, titled "U.S. Public Health Preparedness for Seasonal Influenza: Has the Response Improved?," was convened and chaired by the subcommittee's chair, Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA).
"The committee's oversight work has made a difference," Murphy said. "The department is now treating the seasonal flu as a higher priority."
Murphy noted that more proactive measures are now being taken to combat flu.
"Tools and plans typically reserved for pandemic flu situations are being considered in the fight against the seasonal flu," he said. "An HHS (Health and Human Services) influenza working group has compiled 13 issues and recommendations to improve the influenza vaccine development and manufacturing process. They are working to improve surveillance, utilize technology to speed vaccine production and make more effective vaccines."
Still, Murphy said, there is "much work to be done."
"The issues surrounding the flu vaccine are not new -- we are still largely manufacturing flu vaccines and detecting flu virus changes with technology developed during the 1940s," he said. "At the same time, more and more new influenza viruses are emerging each year. ... Our current system is not as responsive and effective as it should be."
The most current hearing was a continuation of one that took place in February, during which subcommittee members talked about the negative impact of mismatched vaccines, as a vaccine mismatch last year led to an overall effectiveness of 19 percent. Following that hearing, agency officials began exploring ways to improve the country's public health response.
At the last hearing, topics discussed included the federal health agencies' plans and preparedness, as well as improvements that have been put in place since last flu season.
"The recent mismatch reminds us of the need for a more broadly cross-protective or 'universal' influence vaccine that could generate long-lasting protection against several influenza strains over multiple seasons," Dr. Carole Heilman, director of the National Institutes of Health Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, said.
Extreme flu seasons can lead to tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations -- costing billions of dollars.
"Our collective efforts are about keeping Americans healthy during the flu season," Full Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) said. "From babies who are six months old to the elderly, and everyone in between, folks in Michigan and across the country should have the peace of mind and faith that their flu shot will keep them healthy. Our bipartisan work continues."

Yesterday when I stopped, I was quoting:
In ALL these things. Are sugar and gluten included in all these things?? Well, I'd have to read the context of that verse….. It's talking about keeping us from the love of God.
Ummmm, sorta. I mean, I know I'm not obeying:
13 "You shall not murder.
yes, that's exactly what it means.
So, what are you gonna do about that?? Start loving God more than food, and have true health, and happiness in God? Or keep on ignoring the truth, and doing things your own way?
How has doing things your way instead of God's worked for you in the past??
Well, that's why I lost my first, and second marriages to PopPop. Going my own way, drinking, and dating men while I was married. And losing DH the first time…
And how did that make you feel? And worse, what were the lasting consequences?
Gotta stop for today. Really emotional.

Have you ever had Thai curry…or any Thai food? I didn't experience it until I was in my 20s. It is no secret: I love almost all Asian cuisine. My favorite type is probably Korean, but Thai is a close second. Fresh lime, cilantro, Thai basil, coconut milk…what's not to love? I love to eat, but when it comes to sharing recipes, I often hesitate because I don't measure. Unless I'm baking, I go by taste a "look". Most people who don't feel comfortable in the kitchen, do not like to try cooking this way. But my friend who shared this recipe was also the same person who taught me to cook this way. (That's something special about the Army: you meet some pretty incredible women who are life long friends.)
coconut milk (canned)
Thai curry paste
soy sauce
fish sauce (sounds gross…smells worse…but it's delicous)
chicken or meat of choice (cut in slices or bite sized pieces)
all the veggies
You can do what you like, but this is what I did this particular recipe. I used two cans of coconut milk and put them in the pot.
I then added the curry paste…I used three tablespoons…
I then added three tablespoons of soy sauce, and the juice of one lime…
The last thing I added for the "sauce" was some sugar…about two tablespoons full.
This was the first time I made it without fish sauce. It changed the flavor, and I was really missing it. I would say maybe half a tablespoon?? Again, start with a little of ANY ingredient and add more if you don't like it. You can always add, but you can't take out. Smashed lemongrass (which is also in the paste) is also a nice addition.
I then heat the liquid until boiling and add the chicken. Let it cook for a couple of minutes, then add your veggies…
I did a mix of snow peas, broccoli, and carrots along with potatoes and red bell pepper. Cook until the veggies are tender. That's it. I did add some chopped cilantro and basil along with a chopped up chili to mine and Joe's. (We like our food hot!) But you can literally put anything you want to in this. I love this meal, and Joe really does too. Because he was returning from a week of crummy meals in the field, I cooked this for him as well as a blackberry and peach cobbler served with vanilla ice cream…
If you're interest in the cobbler recipe, let me know. 🙂

From Farmville, Virginia, USA:
I recently switched my son's endocrinologist because I was uncomfortable with the lack of information the first one had given us. All we learned was the first night of diagnosis. Everything else has been by "putting out fires."
My son has had two seizures already. Our new doctor has told us very different information, which makes more sense, but I'm very upset about HOW different it is, as one of them is VERY wrong. The first one had us keeping our four year old between 70 and 150 mg/dl [3.9 and 8.3 mmol/L], with "lows being better than highs." The new doctor says lows with children can cause neurological damage; is that true? My son's average A1c has been 4.0 I'm afraid we've done damage to him and didn't know it!
Also, the first doctor said Humalog peaks in 30 minutes and is gone in one hour, so he had us give him more each hour until he came down. The new one says it peaks in one hour and done in two, which means we've been overdosing our son. Which is correct? Have we done damage with that?
Which is correct? Neither? Both? Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding or miscommunication on many people's perspective. But all-in-all, I would tend to agree more with your second endocrinologist. Have you been seeing a pediatric endocrinologist?
For a young child, I would probably shoot for a "target" glucose on the meter from about 80 to 180 mg/dl [4.4 to 10.0 (maybe even 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L]). I would aim for the bedtime glucose reading to be more than 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L]. Please don't confuse a "target" glucose with a "normal" glucose. Normal glucose levels are typically 60 to 100 mg/dl [3.3 to 5.6 mmol/L]. For most people, significant hypoglycemia does not manifest until the glucose is about less than 45 mg/dl [2.5 mmol/L].
You informed us that your child has had diabetes for less than six months. So, most presumably, he has entered the "honeymoon phase" of diabetes. Please see other Honeymoon questions on this web site for more information. During the honeymoon, your child's insulin requirements would be expected to be diminished.
I think a A1c of 4% is "too tight" control for almost anyone with diabetes and it increases the risk for low glucose reactions. I think serious lows are more concerning than occasional highs in a child his age.
Have you caused "brain damage?" Is your son the same? Curious? Bright? His usual "smart self?" Then, you probably have not caused discernable harm.
Humalog tends to start to work within 5 to 15 minutes and then has it's "peak", maximal effect in one to two hours (I usually say 90 minutes) and then it's effectiveness wanes over the next couple of hours. Because of how quickly it works, some find that giving the Humalog immediately AFTER the meal assures better defense against immediate lows.
