We are planning a holiday to Tasmania with our 2 DD's for next year around Feb/March. I know it's 12 months away but it gives me a good amount of time to save (and I love planning things early!)
We will have about 2 weeks, maybe longer. It's a place my hubby and I have never been to so it is on the top of our list for a holiday. We will take our car over on the boat, as I think it will be cheaper then hiring a car and less hassle with all the stuff we will have packed for kids. Has anyone done a similar trip and have any recommendations for accommodation, routes to travel, things to see etc?? Our DD's will be 4 and 18 months. We love the beach, and no doubt DH will have his surfboard. Not sure if we should book accommodation before we arrive as we don't know how long we will be in each destination? It wont be school holidays when we go. Happy to stay in caravan park cabins and maybe somewhere really nice as well, if anyone can recommend something that would be great!! #2Posted 26 February 2013 - 02:33 PM
We went to Tasmania in January our favourite place was Bay of Fires a must see.
We had a motorhome so can't help you with accommodation though. #3Posted 26 February 2013 - 02:41 PM
We went in January and didn't prebook accomodation until day before each destination. We had no trouble getting somewhere to stay. We had a lovely time. Some favourites were the Seahorse Farm and the cheese factory (sorry - forget it's name). Also enjoyed Port Arthur. We were only there for a week and it wasn't enough time. We flew into Launceston and drove around anti clockwise.
#4Posted 26 February 2013 - 02:54 PM
We did also think of flying and hiring a motorhome/campervan but not sure how that would work with the kids being in car restraints.
Thanks for the suggestions so far I will add them to my list! #5Posted 26 February 2013 - 02:58 PM
We usually paid between $80 and $120 per night for accom and hiring a van ended up being not that different for a week. Bonus of having own bathroom and television is good for kids!

We have been to Tassie a few times and loved each visit. We priced up to take our car and caravan on the boat and it was really expensive! It might not be so bad with just a car but we have always found it cheaper to do accommodation, car hire and flights. I always fly Virgin to Tas because the flights are direct (I am in QLD) and you can take car seats, portacots and prams for free. I love Launceston and we have stayed at Ashton Gate Guest House. There is a two bedroom cottage which is separate to the main b&b so good for kids. The gorge is pretty and there are lots of peacocks to see. Port Arthur is a must see. Make sure you do The Isle of the Dead. Sarah Island was fantastic too if you like history. They did a little play when we were there called 'the Ship that Never Was' which was really good. Last trip we did Frecinet and it was a lovely place. Wineglass bay is well worth a look. It is a bit of a hike so I would absolutely take a baby carrier or two! Bicheno is nice. There is a little boat that you can take kids on called the glass bottom boat. Plus you can do a night time penguin tour! Cradle mountain has haps of bush walking tracks and wombats. There is heaps more, I could go on, I love Tas! Edited by Caseymay, 26 February 2013 - 03:23 PM. #7Posted 26 February 2013 - 03:26 PM
We did a similar trip a few years back. Rented out a whole house 3 bedrooms and 2 outside rooms set up as bedrooms (totally gorgeous). Cost us $750 for 10 days. Link is below. If you call the local tourist information centre you'll get it a lot cheaper if it's not booked. Was beautiful. Room for the kids to run around, a gorgeous house, beautiful fire, gardens to die for, massive claw foot bathtub and a hop, skip and a jump away from everything.

We did Tasmania last year with a 5 year old and 3 year old.
We stayed in Discovery Holiday parks, they have self contained chalet type things (we used one that slept 6) and they have BBQs and playgrounds on site, very affordable. Some of the things we did: Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls, Port Arthur, Botanical Gardens, Peak of My Wellington, Zoodoo and visited Richmond, Alpinevale Miniature Railway, Tasmania Zoo, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Salmon Ponds, Cataract Gorge, Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs (although DS found the caves a bit overwhelming and wanted to be carried the whole time), oh and the Sorrell Fruit Farm was lots of fun for the kids. Be prepared to do a lot of driving. we spent the bulk of our time based in Hobart, with two nights in Launceston. #9Posted 26 February 2013 - 04:34 PM
Tassie's great - you'll love it!
Things to do: Beauty Point Seahorse farm - mentioned by PP. About a 40min drive from Launceston. Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary - wildlife park as opposed to zoo. has free roaming wallabies that kids can feed, as well as has devils, koalas etc in enclosures. Richmond - A historic town about 30min from Hobart. Lots to do including art galleries, a maze, zoo doo, a model village and it's very picturesque. Mt Wellington - lots of walks and nice picnic spots. Great views of Hobart on a clear day. Freycinet National Park - National park on Tasmania's east coast, close to Friendly Beaches - a great surf spot. Accommodation and Camping spaces are available inside the park. East Coast - any of the towns along Tasmania's East Coast are very picturesque and cosy. Plus lots of great surf beaches in the are, as well as along the north coast of Tas. the Bay of Fires (mentioned by PP) is also in the East Coast. Mt Field National Park - Alpine National Park about an hour and half from Hobart. Nice, easy bush walks and pretty much guaranteed to see at least some wombats and wallabies. Cradle Mt National Park - Similar to Mt Field but in the north of the State. Home to Tassie icon - Cradle Mt. Accommodation and Cabin spaces are available inside the park. Port Arthur - Old penal colony. Lots of ruins and history stuff, plus possible boat cruise, and lots of space for kids. Tahune Airwalk - A walk through Tassie forests canopies with swinging bridges and elevated walkways. About an hour south of Hobart. Salamanca markets - market full of local produce and handmade Tasmania crafts, plus great cafes (try The Machine Cafe in Salamanca Square for the best/cheapest muffins in Hobart), great toy and book shops and art galleries. Plus close to Salamanca Lawns and St Davids Park for a great place to let the kids run wild. Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm - about 30min from Devonport. Great cafe that serves berry related food and drink. Similar to Kate's Berry Farm (near Swansea on East Coast). Strahan - on West Coast. Very picturesque and near Sarah Island, another penal colony (only available by boat cruise though) Places to stay: Depends on your budget. Most places have camping grounds for camper vans etc, or cheap motels/cabins etc. Feb/March shouldn't be too busy as kids will be back at school but you may have to put up with quite a few grey nomads that set off at about the same time. I think the easiest way to find places is by googling. I'm sure other people have more ideas. Enjoy!

We went in for 2 weeks in January this year and it was absolutely amazing! I am so in love with tassie that I almost want to move there now. I just loved the natural scenery, the food, and the way the roads were never busy and it was slower paced compared to Melb.
We went over on the ship as it worked out cheaper to do that compared to flights and car hire for a family of 5. The kids loved the experience on the boat - it really added to the excitement of the holiday, and we found the cabin very comfortable as well. I have heard others say that flights and car hire is cheaper, but it didnt work out that way for us, probably because we would have had to hire a large car and 3 car seats for the kids. Also, it is so much easier to take your own car and fill it with all your stuff. The kids even brought their scooters, and that was a great cause we found heaps of skate parks over there. My favourite place there was the seaside town of Bicheno. Gorgeous beaches and scenery, and coles bay/wineglass bay is only a 30 minute drive away. We stayed at this holiday rental http://www.bichenobluehaven.com/index.htm and it was the best holiday rental house we have ever stayed in - location was great as it was walking distance to the beach, heaps of toys and dvds for kids, clean and great facilities. I also loved Strahan. We werent going to visit because it is so far away but I am really glad we did. It is a sleepy and gorgeous little fishing town, and there are heaps of attractions there as well eg the gordon river cruise (highly recommend) or the train trip. Cradle mountain was gorgeous but freezing cold when we were there, so we didnt get to see much of it as the kids were freezing. But that was just bad luck cause the day we left it warmed up a lot. Heaps of things to do around Hobart, i wish we spent more than the 2 nights we had there. We basically did an anticlockwise trip around the state - started in launceston, then cradle mountain, Strahan, Hobart, Bicheno and finished up at Binalong Bay. The most we had was a 4 hour drive which suited us perfectly. We stayed 2-4 nights in each place, though I found you need at least 3 days in each place to really see it properly and not feel rushed. You are so lucky! Wish I could go back there again, tassie is such a beautiful place Edited by antsy, 27 February 2013 - 10:07 AM. #11Posted 27 February 2013 - 08:27 PM
Thank you everyone above for all those suggestions, it is all very helpful! I am planning on researching all your accommodation suggestions.
blue.bird, thank for that extensive list of things to do! antsy, your trip sounded amazing, I'm even more excited about planning our holiday now! And I will check out that holiday rental. Anyone have any tips for the boat? Night sailing or day? If night time is it a good idea to settle kids in bed straight away or is it worth looking around the ship? I have a feeling the kids wont settle at all and it'll be a long night! Do they put an announcement over to say you have arrived in the morning? #12Posted 27 February 2013 - 08:39 PM
It's always really interesting to read what others think about your home state.
Op, there are some great camp grounds around Tassie (our only holidays are camping ones ) and at that time, you would just be able to rock up to most of them. #13Posted 28 February 2013 - 11:22 AM QUOTE (jade5 @ 27/02/2013, 09:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anyone have any tips for the boat?

I have a feeling the kids wont settle at all and it'll be a long night! Do they put an announcement over to say you have arrived in the morning? We did the night sailing and both the adults and kids slept well, probably because it felt like being rocked to sleep. The kids were initally a bit excited though and it took them until about 930pm to get to sleep. You board to boat around 6pm so there is time to walk around the ship before putting them to bed. It isnt very big so you can wander through it all in about half an hour. The kids play room was good, it is pretty small but kept the kids occupied for an hour. In the morning they make an announcement over the speakers to wake you up and let you know how long you have till you disembark. I think it woke us up around 5.30am, which was about 40 minutes before we got off. So it wasnt a very long sleep, but it didnt matter cause it was enough for the adults and the kids just napped in the car the next day in tassie. #14Posted 28 February 2013 - 12:25 PM
We did that trip a few years ago when our children were similar ages to what your children will be.
Firstly I will say I LOVED Tasmania and would go again but not with kids that age. Tassie is such a great adventure place and small children are not able to hike and canoe etc. We took the boat over (overnight trip) and it was fine until DS threw up all over me on waking up in the morning! If I went again I would fly and hire a car. Much less hassle and time. #15Posted 28 February 2013 - 12:43 PM
Hi OP - we went on a 3.5 week holiday around Tassie last November with our almost 3yo DS and our 7 month old DD. We had a fantastic time! We deliberately planned it at that age so we would be able to carry them both on bushwalks. It was a little tiring carrying them for 3 hours around Dove Lake at Cradle Mountain and up the hill for an hour at Wineglass Bay, but we still really enjoyed it!!
We really loved Cradle Mountain -amazing scenery- and the East Coast - beautiful beaches. We had some amazing food too, we went to the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm twice (getting off and getting on the ferry, its just outside Devonport) and the Sorrell Fruit Farm twice (on our way in and out of Port Arthur). My son loved the ferry ride (we had ideal conditions for the crossing both ways - I have been told it can get very rocky!!! Just something to consider if you don't do boats well!) We drove down from Sydney which did add quite a bit of time to our trip but we have family along the way that we stayed with and I also managed to wangle a night in Melbourne Make sure you pack for all conditions!!! #16Posted 28 February 2013 - 12:57 PM
Oh I loved loved loved our family holidays to Tassie - we went once when I was about 12 months (obviously, I don't remember it but my parents assure me that I enjoyed it!), again when I was 11 and my sister 9, and once more with the whole family when I was 19 and my sister 17. Now my dad and I go back for a hiking trip together every couple of years
Someone already mentioned the Seahorse Farm - that was indeed surprisingly awesome. Another unexpected highlight was the animal park at Mole Creek (sort of near Devonport) - it was well-run and there were talks and tours that were so interesting and engaging, especially for the kids. Have a look on Tas's tourist or national parks websites for a booklet about day walks - it has lots of ideas and tell you how long they are, whether they are suitable for children etc. There's quite a few short and short-ish ones at Cradle Mt, and also at Mt Field National Park. I would definitely recommend spending a couple of nights at Cradle Mountain. It's a long drive from Hobart or Launceston but it's just magical, and there's quite a range of accommodation options up there. Go sit on the boardwalk on the buttongrass plains one evening to see the wombats come out. QUOTE Make sure you pack for all conditions!!! Oh yes! It snowed on us the last time we were there - in early March!

Do they put an announcement over to say you have arrived in the morning? We go often and always do the night crossing. First time we had a look around the ship and ate in the restaurant and the kids discovered the play center. Since then we just take toys and activities on board for the kids and stay in the cabin. Kids were a bit too excited with everything when we had a look around and did not want to leave the play area and kept trying to get out our cabin door to go back. We take food and drink on board too and take a portable DVD player. You can hire players on board but we find it easier to take our own with a USB full of movies and tv shows that we all like. There is only really a few hours kids need to be entertained before they fall asleep and we have always had to wake them up to get off in the morning. I think a day trip would be a lot harder. #18Posted 28 February 2013 - 01:46 PM
2 weeks isn't enough! It's a big little state.
#19Posted 02 March 2013 - 06:24 AM can i ask when is the best time of the year to visit tassie? my kids are school aged so it would have to be during school holidays, also dh is a teacher. is 2 weeks enough otherwise it would have to be the summer holidays. would that be too hot? #20Posted 02 March 2013 - 06:38 AM
I would go in the summer - its hot, but not in comparison to the other states.
#21Posted 02 April 2013 - 09:54 AM
I just thought I would add an idea on accommodation near Launceston. We are going down in June and we were looking for somewhere close to Launceston that was fully self contained but also great for DD9. We found Forest Road Apartments which seem amazing for children even though it was a little more per night then we wanted to spend.
I can't wait until our trip, it will be my first visit to Tassie. We are going in the middle of June so I expect it to be cold but that's ok, it's part of the fun he he. #22Posted 02 April 2013 - 10:10 AM
I love reading so many nice comments about my home
With the boat I definitely suggest night sailing. There are a few things to do but not a whole lot. I love Bicheno. I have pretty much spent every summer there since I was little. Beautiful little place and I recommend driving out to Douglas Apsley. Gorgeous little waterhole, so clear and clean and fresh surrounded by bush. Tasmazia is a must visit. Fun for all the family no matter what ages! On the way to or back from Cradle Mountain Mole Creek is great. You can have a tour of the caves and there's a wildlife park and gorgeous Honey store out there too. I highly recommend Anvers. Yummy fudge and the meals are reasonably priced and yummy. Then after you finish pop round to Reliquaire in Latrobe. Awesome toystore which you get a map to go round. Ashgrove's is also great as is the Christmas Hill's Raspberry farm. The Gorge is nice in Launceston. If you like old estates I'd also recommend visiting Franklin House and/or Clarendon. My kids loved seeing how things were in the olden days. We have lots of great vineyards and boutique breweries. My favourite vineyard is Josef Chromy in Relbia (which is handy because it's just around the corner from me ) Also like Leaning Church. Richmond is good and Ross Bakery has the best food- especially pies. #23Posted 02 April 2013 - 10:17 AM
Just got back from Port Arthur. Highly recommend the Port Arthur Holiday Village. It has camping through to water view cabins. the kids had a ball and lots of (outdoorsy) things to see and do in walking or short car ride distance.

Heart Disease
Scientists have developed targeted, biodegradable nano "drones" to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs that heal and stabilize arterial plaque in mice. Their work could pave the way for more effective prevention of heart attack and stroke in humans caused by atherosclerosis, in which artery walls thicken and suffer reduced plasticity due to an accumulation of white blood cells.

FDA approves blood test that predicts risk of coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) kills more than 385,000 people in the United States each year, and more than half of those who die suddenly have no previous symptoms. A new blood test that could reduce CHD-related illness and mortality by predicting the risk of future heart disease has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The PLAC Test for Lp-PLA2 screens for cardiovascular inflammation which can lead to a build up of rupture-prone plaque and result in a heart attack or stroke. Read More
When scientists want to find out how a new medication will affect the cardiovascular system, the traditional way of doing so is via animal or human trials. This takes time, can be potentially harmful to the test subjects, and doesn't always deliver conclusive results. Thanks to a device created at Coventry University in the UK, however, the testing process may soon be quicker, safer and more reliable. Read More
When we've previously heard about "organs on a chip," they've been miniature recreations of healthy organs. If they're being used for research into the treatment of health problems, however, then it only makes sense that those "organs" should have something wrong with them. With that in mind, a group of Harvard scientists have created the world's first lab-grown sample of functioning human heart tissue that has a cardiovascular disease. Read More
Researchers from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) have shown that injections of a protein dubbed GDF11, when administered to older mice, appear to cause a reversal of many signs of aging. Analysis showed that every major organ system tested displayed signs of improvement, with the protein even appearing to reverse some of the DNA damage which is synonymous with the aging process itself. Read More
In what could mark a significant breakthrough in the treatment of heart disease, researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have successfully repaired damaged tissue in monkey hearts using cells created from human embryonic stem cells. The findings demonstrate an ability to produce these cells on an unprecedented scale and hold great potential for restoring functionally of damaged human hearts. Read More
When it comes to monitoring the electrical activity of the heart, or delivering electrical stimulation to it (as in the case of pacemakers), most current technologies rely on electrodes that make contact with the organ in just a few locations. That doesn't necessarily provide a very detailed picture of what's going on, nor does it deliver stimulation all that evenly. Now, scientists have created a sensor-laden three-dimensional elastic membrane that can be pulled over the whole heart, to provide a large number of contact points. Read More
After a heart attack has occurred, inflammatory cells known as monocytes rush to the damaged tissue. This causes the heart to swell, reducing its ability to pump blood, and further damaging the tissue – a potentially lethal situation. Now, however, scientists have discovered that injectable microparticles can help stop that from happening. Read More
Ordinarily, when doctors wish to monitor an ambulatory patient for heartbeat irregularities, they have them wear what is know as a Holter monitor. The device is fairly cumbersome, so it's usually worn for no more than 24 hours. A recent study, however, indicates that the relatively new ZIO Patch provides more accurate readings, while being considerably less obtrusive. Read More
One of the things that makes heart disease so problematic is the fact that after a heart attack occurs, the scar tissue that replaces the damaged heart tissue isn't capable of expanding and contracting – it doesn't "beat," in other words. This leaves the heart permanently weakened. Now, however, scientists from Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have developed artificial heart tissue that may ultimately provide a solution to that problem. Read More

Root \Root\, verb (used with an object) To turn up or to dig out with the snout; as, the swine roots the earth.
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Root \Root\, noun [Icel. r[=o]t (for vr[=o]t); akin to E. wort, and perhaps to root to turn up the earth. See {Wort}.]
1. (Bot.) (a) The underground portion of a plant, whether a true root or a tuber, a bulb or rootstock, as in the potato, the onion, or the sweet flag. (b) The descending, and commonly branching, axis of a plant, increasing in length by growth at its extremity only, not divided into joints, leafless and without buds, and having for its offices to fix the plant in the earth, to supply it with moisture and soluble matters, and sometimes to serve as a reservoir of nutriment for future growth. A true root, however, may never reach the ground, but may be attached to a wall, etc., as in the ivy, or may hang loosely in the air, as in some epiphytic orchids.
2. An edible or esculent root, especially of such plants as produce a single root, as the beet, carrot, etc.; as, the root crop.
3. That which resembles a root in position or function, esp. as a source of nourishment or support; that from which anything proceeds as if by growth or development; as, the root of a tooth, a nail, a cancer, and the like. Specifically: (a) An ancestor or progenitor; and hence, an early race; a stem.
They were the roots out of which sprang two distinct people. --Locke. (b) A primitive form of speech; one of the earliest terms employed in language; a word from which other words are formed; a radix, or radical. (c) The cause or occasion by which anything is brought about; the source. "She herself . . . is root of bounty." --Chaucer.
The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. --1 Tim. vi. 10 (rev. Ver.) (d) (Math.) That factor of a quantity which when multiplied into itself will produce that quantity; thus, 3 is a root of 9, because 3 multiplied into itself produces 9; 3 is the cube root of 27. (e) (Mus.) The fundamental tone of any chord; the tone from whose harmonics, or overtones, a chord is composed. --Busby. (f) The lowest place, position, or part. "Deep to the roots of hell." --Milton. "The roots of the mountains." --Southey.
4. (Astrol.) The time which to reckon in making calculations.
When a root is of a birth yknowe [known]. --Chaucer.
{Aerial roots}. (Bot.) (a) Small roots emitted from the stem of a plant in the open air, which, attaching themselves to the bark of trees, etc., serve to support the plant. (b) Large roots growing from the stem, etc., which descend and establish themselves in the soil. See Illust. of {Mangrove}.
{Multiple primary root} (Bot.), a name given to the numerous roots emitted from the radicle in many plants, as the squash.
{Primary root} (Bot.), the central, first-formed, main root, from which the rootlets are given off.
{Root and branch}, every part; wholly; completely; as, to destroy an error root and branch.
{Root-and-branch men}, radical reformers; -- a designation applied to the English Independents (1641). See Citation under {Radical}, noun, 2.
{Root barnacle} (Zool.), one of the Rhizocephala.
{Root hair} (Bot.), one of the slender, hairlike fibers found on the surface of fresh roots. They are prolongations of the superficial cells of the root into minute tubes. --Gray.
{Root leaf} (Bot.), a radical leaf. See {Radical}, adjective, 3 (b) .
{Root louse} (Zool.), any plant louse, or aphid, which lives on the roots of plants, as the Phylloxera of the grapevine. See {Phylloxera}.
{Root of an equation} (Alg.), that value which, substituted for the unknown quantity in an equation, satisfies the equation.
{Root of a nail} (Anat.), the part of a nail which is covered by the skin.
{Root of a tooth} (Anat.), the part of a tooth contained in the socket and consisting of one or more fangs.
{Secondary roots} (Bot.), roots emitted from any part of the plant above the radicle.
{To strike root}, {To take root}, to send forth roots; to become fixed in the earth, etc., by a root; hence, in general, to become planted, fixed, or established; to increase and spread; as, an opinion takes root. "The bended twigs take root." --Milton.
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Root \Root\, verb (used without an object) [AS. wr[=o]tan; akin to wr[=o]t a snout, trunk, D. wroeten to root, G. r["u]ssel snout, trunk, proboscis, Icel. r[=o]ta to root, and perhaps to L. rodere to gnaw (E. rodent) or to E. root, noun]

"Definitely recommend for novices !"
Ms Handley and CC have put together one of the better books on social media tips I have seen. I have listened to their book three times now. I have employed –along with our company- many of their "social media stew" recipe tips on facebook and website content suggestions successfully. One of the best compliments I could give them and this book is that I have used facebook successfully the first time in a business sense.
We use a medical protocol that many persons found helpful by reading and exercising the applications direct from facebook that we would not have believed if we had not seen the results-in a week's time! Their clear cut and direct suggestions are easy to understand and use. Even if you have struggled in the past with your product, service, or just 'talking' with your friends on facebook, LinkedIn or any of the other ways they mention in their 'bible' for social channels, you cannot help but improve with just 2 or 3 of their helpful hints.
We will soon employ their advice and recommendations on our first "YouTube" video and anticipate nothing but success!

An Open Letter To AARP
Posted: March 3, 2015 Filed under: Foolishness, Getting older | Tags: aarp, aging, comedy, humor, junk mail, postaweek 7 CommentsDear AARP,
I appreciate that you look out for my interests. I don't have the time to travel to Washington as often as I'd like. When I do get there, I'm not interested in soiling my reputation by being seen with elected officials. I'll happily pay my dues to have you lobby on my behalf.
That's not all that you do for me. I get good deals on donuts when I get together with my old man friends every morning. And when I travel, I get a break on hotel costs. You offer me insurance and I get a magazine every month. It almost seems like a one-sided deal that is in my favor. If you're OK with that, so am I. Read the rest of this entry »
I'm Sick Of Frozen
Posted: February 27, 2015 Filed under: Foolishness | Tags: comedy, Disney, Frozen, humor, marketing, postaweek, rants 6 CommentsYou know what? Enough is enough. Though I have not seen (and will not ever see) the movie Frozen, I am officially sick of it.
As best I can tell from the blizzard of crap for sale in stores, the movie has three characters. There is a blonde girl who smirks a lot, a red-haired girl who seems secondary to the blonde girl and a snow man who looks like a demented pile of soft-serve ice cream. They live somewhere cold, because, well, Frozen, right? Of course it is frozen; soft-serve ice cream can't just walk around on a magical island near the equator, can it? Read the rest of this entry »
Three Years Later
Posted: February 25, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: grief, death, life, postaweek, police, policing 5 CommentsThis doesn't mark three years ago that my friend died, the number is now four. I tried writing something new about him but the words didn't come this year. Sometimes it goes like that. This is a reprint of last year's piece on this date.
Humor returns to the blog tomorrow.
Today, as every day, I miss Fred.
Three years ago today was a Friday. I'd slipped out-of-town for an over-night visit with my son at college. By the time I arrived, Fred had passed away back home.
Despite a heroic effort to contact me, I didn't know we'd lost him until I read the news the next morning. I remember staring a lot that day. There were other things, but mostly there was staring.
That Saturday night, back home, I was still staring. I published what I felt that night, and then went to work at 4:30 a.m. Sunday, on no sleep, for my first shift without him. I wasn't the only one sleepless and staring.
The staring returned this morning. I'm angry about the accident that cost his life months before he was to retire. I'm hurt for his family as they move on without him. I'm disappointed that I can't call him to laugh about some of the stories we lived through and compare notes on how much being retired from The Job doesn't suck.
But I'm also happy to have had the privilege to enjoy time with Fred. That's the direction I hope the staring takes me today.
Things are better than they were three years ago. A lot of water has gone under the bridge. I'm stronger, healthier and smarter. I've even learned lessons because Freddy had to leave; I'd rather have stayed ignorant of those.
It is quiet today. I'll take time to think about the stuff we saw and did. And about pulling each others bacon out of the fire on several occasions. And finding each other on SWAT calls and saying "I'll see you when this is over".
Life goes on, brother. It is good.
I'll see you when this is over, but it's gonna be a while.
Fortes Fortuna Juvat.

Because of that, they'll be excited to learn that I am giving all the little people the benefit of my knowledge of film, acting and the stars.

A Discussion Of Chinese Breakfast Food
Posted: February 19, 2015 Filed under: Foolishness | Tags: breakfast, chinese food, comedy, eating chinese leftovers, food, humor, postaweek, reheating chinese leftovers 18 CommentsYesterday morning, while I was in the refrigerator trying to spot what I was going to have for breakfast, my eyes fell upon some leftover Chinese food.
I'd guess that some of you don't like the idea of eating Chinese food for breakfast. But I'd point out to you that pancake suppers are a common fundraiser and a fun change of pace for a lot of families. And who among us hasn't had cold pizza to start their day?
So I enjoyed half of a large order of wonton soup and a few pan-fried dumplings for breakfast. They were absolutely delicious. If you haven't had Chinese food in the morning, you are missing out on a treat. Read the rest of this entry »
You are not the boss of me.
Posted: February 17, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 CommentsOK, by now, you've noticed that I haven't written new stuff for you this week. Unfortunately, we've had a death in the family and that's taking up my time and energy.
I shall return very soon.
Today I'm pointing you back at something I wrote in 2010 about one of my favorite bands, NRBQ, and one of my least favorite people. I like it because I can read it and see where I've improved as a writer. I also like that I am just as ridiculously immature as the day I wrote it.

Getting along with people is something I am good at. There are not many people who I write off as someone I can't find any value in knowing. Still, those people exist, and my reaction to one of them has left me questioning my maturity level.

The Italian Cruise Ship Disaster: The One Fact No One Else Is Giving You.
Posted: February 11, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentToday, cruise ship captain Francesco Schettino was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for his role in the Costa Concordia disaster.
Never one to miss a potential writing prompt, I dashed this off around the time of the ship's sinking. Sort of sinking. More of a tipping over, really.
Originally posted on Blurt:
I am an inquisitive person. I see things. I think about them. I ask questions. Things like the Costa Concordia disaster in Italy raise questions in my mind, and I am certain they do in yours.
- How does a modern ship like that get off course?
- Why would you wait to tell the passengers things aren't going well?
- I always heard the captain goes down with his ship. Why was Captain Francesco Schettino on one of the first lifeboats?
- Do the rocks the ship hit feel a little guilty, even though this wasn't their fault?
There are any number of websites you can visit for answers to those and other questions. There are even transcripts of the radio conversation between Captain Schettino (safe in his lifeboat) and the Italian Coast Guard as the captain sailed away from his sinking ship and its frightened passengers.
But you don't come here for…

The Marrakech Discovery tour is for you if you want to enjoy the magic and chaos of the this wonderful city in a controlled setting. As a solo traveller on a weekend break, I was pretty chuffed to have been on this tour.
The pick up point was the Jemaa el Fna square at 8:30 am. (I did call and confirm this, as they offer a pick up service for hotels outside the Medina) First stop was the Koutoubia Mosque. Ali's commentary was concise and interesting and laid down the expectations for a good day. Entering via the stork gate (Bab Agnaou) we headed to the Saadian tombs. From there, walking through the Jewish Quarters (the Mellah) we headed to the Bahia palace, apparently a modest replica of the Alhambra. A detour via the quaint Maison Tiskiwin led us to the mid way point, a most sumptuous lunch at the Dar Nejjarine. At all these places Ali and Aziz would give a brief overview of the site and then encourage the group to explore the place by themselves, always at hand to answer any questions. The lunch was excellent and though being a vegetarian, I had my dietary needs catered to.
We then headed back to the square and dived in to the souks. Our next stop was the spice centre, though the demonstration of the various products was long and could get presumably boring for people not interested in spices and oils, we were served mint tea, which was most welcome after the hearty lunch.
Through the souks we reached the magnificent Ben Youssef Madrasa, once a pillar of religious learning. The last item on the agenda was shopping, for the interested. This was a big collection of the items under a single roof, maybe at a higher price, but you still could indulge in bit of haggling without encountering aggressive sales tactics. A final assembly at the square and I headed back to the airport with fond memories.
Cons: Group size was about 25, but I would say that for under £30, it was excellent value for money.
Merci/Shoukran to Ali and Aziz.

Wanted to book the half day tour but glad we couldn't! We wanted to take a tour on our first day to orientate ourselves with the city being a party of two females and so glad we did. We saw so much more than we ever would have on our own including the back streets of the souks that we wouldn't have necessarily felt comfortable exploring on our own. We were collected promptly from our hotel and saw everything we wanted to see in one day. The guides were great and knowledgeable it was a packed itinerary but didn't feel rushed or too long and the lunch was very good. My only negative was that I did get a little bored in the spice and natural remedy centre, the talk was quite interesting but running through the list of products for sale afterwards was a little tedious when there is so much to see outside (although I did expect a bit of this in Marrakesh). All in all fantastic value and would definitely recommend. Do go for the full day we would have been disappointed to leave.

Good overview of the medina and souks.
But a lot of walking and going up and down steps.
The lunch was not very good.
Maybe do the trip in 2. 1/2 days ( with no lunch but a drink snack break)
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
I took this tour with my family mid November on the first day of a short break and I can't recommend it highly enough. It was a day packed with sights, sounds and smells of the city but our guide for the day; Ali never made it seem rushed or overpowering. In fact there were several opportunities where we could spend a little time on our own exploring or trying a little haggling in the Souk. Value fro money was exceptional given it included entrance to a number of monuments, museum etc plus the inclusion of a delicious lunch which even two suspicious teenagers gave a big thumbs up to. It all ended too quickly with the sun setting over the Jemaa el Fna but we've been left with lots of great memories to recall and reminisce now we're back home.
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
We were very impressed with the tour. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and taken to the tour bus to meet up with the guide. He was very knowledgable and the tour of the souks was a real help giving us confidence to go back several times during our stay in Marrakech. We were taken to a small cafe for a complimentary drink and enjoy the panoramic view from their rooftop terrace of the square. However, we felt it very unnecessary to take us by bus for the last hour of our tour to a very high class leather shop selling very expensive leather jackets. Having been made to sit through a cat walk and then offered drinks and being made to feel very uncomfortable. This was not just ourselves but by every person also on our tour. We felt that the last hour could have been spent differently, besides which going to a high class leather shop was never mentioned in your description of the tour and is not something that us Brits take kindly to.
Please rethink what you do for the final hour of the tour or just make the tour 2.30 till 5pm.

Enjoyed the trip but was disappointed to be taken into a pharmacy where we were kept for about 45 minutes listening to a description of various miracle cures followed by a concerted effort to encourage us to make purchases. Having escaped this we spent a further 30 minutes in one specific souvenir shop. The souks and medina were fascinating and we would have preferred more time walking around these- which is what we had booked for. Have done Viator walking tours before and not had this problem.
Doing what: Souks and Medinas of Marrakech Tour
Good trip, plan was to use this first day tour as a general introduction / overview of Marrakech for the remainder of our time in city, didn't however prevent us from getting occasionally horrendously lost on subsequent trips into the Souks !!. The included lunch was absolutely superb.
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
Showed our way rounds souks,took us to all the different parts,it can be abit of a maze otherwise.
Doing what: Souks and Medinas of Marrakech Tour
Loved this tour although it would have been better if we'd had extra time to stop and purchase goods in the souks rather than 1 shop at the end (which wasn't great)
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
We booked this tour not knowing much of the souks and medinas, and i must say for us it was worth doing.
The guide did give us a good tour and explained the history of the souks and madinas, but it was a walk through the area, you didnt get time to stop and shop.The most time was at one stop was at the pharmacy aimed to sell you local items, really good if you were in the market to buy!!
The trip was about the right amount of time, you finish off the tour in the Medina, with enough time for a drink and a quick wander.
Doing what: Souks and Medinas of Marrakech Tour
We spent a whole day's wandering around all the sites of Marrakech. In and out of the Medina and Souk. A stop for a superb meal at lunch time and a break for a drink mid afternoon. The guide took us through the narrow passageways and lanes to see the Palace, Tombs, Mosque, Medersa and work places of the various trades in the city. A facinating journey with the history perfectly explained by our guide. Through the Souk with its colourful sellers of locally made goods and food. Time to wonder back in to the Souk to do a bit of shopping or to relax with a welcomed sit down and a drink over looking the Jemas El Fna Place. Again the pick and return to my hotel was punctual and very well organised. It was good value and very informative.
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
The tour was fantastic. Really gave us the highlights of Marrakech! Lunch was delicious and authentic. We had the chance to explore the souks, we were grateful to have had the tour guide lead us through the never ending maze. It gave us the confidence to go back and haggle and bargain for ourselves!
Doing what: Marrakech Discovery Tour
A most enjoyable few hours spent around the souks and medina rather like a magical mystery tour
Doing what: Souks and Medinas of Marrakech Tour
Long day of touring but this was a great opportunity to get an introduction to multiple sights. Our guides were fantastic - welcoming, humorous, extremely willing to share knowledge and shepherd along our big group. I wished we had more time to explore the souks rather than moving along quickly while trying not to get run over by motorbikes. Lunch was quite enjoyable on a rooftop terrance with a nice view. The day was a nice mix of peaceful enclaves (Ben Youssef Madrasa, Saaid Tombs) and high activity in the medina. Glad we did it!

We we're meet on time and taken to meet rest of party low number of around 15 ish the tour was explained to us and were we were going to and what we were going to see, as we were going into city guide showed us the sites and palace very pleasent.

I do not understand how those knives are holding up that bottle. That shouldn't be happening...
I to have peer reviewed the evidence. It can work with Heineken bottles too.
Ah... It only looked like one was touching any other knife in the picture.
Maybe it takes three Heineken's before this can be accomplished? Could be a missing/obvious variable.
I'd say in the name of science this calls for massive empirical research, does it also work with empty bottles? - I know logic says yes, but by the scientific method I don't want to prejudge the experimental result
So cool! I'd try it myself, except that I don't have three butter knives. I do have 3 forks that I could probably make work, but I don't drink, so I have no beer bottles. I'll think of something.
With enough beer, I am not attempting to do physics experiments, unless it is fluid dynamics...LOL
Is the fourth fork in motion? The toothpick can't be holding it at an angle.

Felt obligated to attend church
Anyway, it was hell. He kind of put me on the spot by giving recognition that I was in the audience, and people turned around and looked at me. grrrr. My 13 year old cousin stayed the night on Saturday and was at church with us. I get really anxious around that age group like I'm not sure what to say to them. She kept staring at me the whole time. I bit down on a peppermint, and every time she heard it crackle she looked straight over and that lead on attention from others in the church. My mom, cousin, and I sat in one of the middle pews, and I just felt people staring at me from behind. I couldn't sit still. I'm sure people behind me were saying in their mind, "wtf is wrong w/ her!?!" After church (time of social interaction) I said nothing, unless someone came up to me. The kids around my age (21 +) didn't say anything to me and maybe they expected that I would speak with them, but I just proved again that I'm still a baby, and haven't matured. Even the guys I used to date (kiddy dating lol) back when we were kids I know that was looooong ago, but I get so anxious by looking at them. Makes things so much harder for me. Gawd, I hope I don't have to go back to that place again. I'm sure I came off as conceited, but I'm not. Only if people knew how hard this is for me :-(

If I may derail the topic a bit, I want to ask why so many people our age who have grown up in the church stop believing and/or stop going to church... I feel like I am a rare exception as I have been going to the same church all my life and have kept my beliefs, though they have changed/matured a bit as I've grown up.
Back on topic, I'm sorry you had a bad experience at church. Church is supposed to be a place where everyone feels welcome and safe no matter who they are or where they come from. |

Well I haven't stop believing completely...I kind of just don't have faith in "Him". I feel like i'm believing in an imaginary friend that has never exist, and people are crazy to believe in such. Then again, I feel like I HAVE to believe in this superficial "man" to go to so called, "heaven". Religion is still a confusing thing for me. I stop going to church because I wasn't comfortable in my church, and I never understood the things they were talking about. Also, I was bullied by other kids there.

When you up or down-rate a post, what's your reason? I notice that people tend to down rate posts that they do not agree with, even if it's a very subjective topic. Or they will often up rate a post even if it really doesn't contribute to the discussion. Personally, I up rate posts that have good information, are on topic, or just make good arguments, even if I don't agree with the opinion. I often even up-vote posts that proves me wrong. I down rate posts that are very subjective, or contain swear words or name calling. So how do you rate posts? Do you think it can ever be an effective method to monitoring a webboard? Should something like this be taught in school, now that the internet is so pervasive?
Senior Member
Sometimes it's a popularity contest; look at Larias posts, he's got people downrating left and right just cause they don't like him regardless of the post. Also if someone posts anything remotely anti LoL or pro HoN you can expect automatic downrating. Then maybe you got two-three guys on one side of an argument uprating eachothers posts then downrating the guy they're arguing with to make their side look better. It's a pretty useless feature imo..
I think they should really make you type out the reason to vote a post. Then the webmaster can come sift through some random ones every now and then, then slap some banhammers on the bad ones.

Need a handicap sticker for my 16s when I park 'em
