I've been waiting to write this post for a long time now and have actually been writing it for about 3 days, its not long and it is a bit ranty, but there has been a lot of thought into it. Why do some businesses fail, but the very same businesses (same products, same services) succeed?
It's the age old question in business, some people say its due to lack of motivation for the industry you are in, which is a good point. Others say its 100% down to funding, if you can't utilise funding and sort cash-flow for your business, again this is 100% true but its not the number 1 reason why businesses fail, especially in the modern age.
Businesses fail because your customers are not "impressed" by your business.
Let me explain.
In 2015 I set-up a business called Ghost Fitness with a couple of other partners. We wrote the business plan and were all happy with it. Today this business is coming along nicely but we made 1 HUGE mistake in the start that was involved around people being un-impressed by the products and the service of "purchasing" in general.
The issue was we all had other businesses or full time jobs, which meant fulfilling orders that had come through sometimes took 2 or 3 days, adding the delivery cost on top of this meant people were looking at 7-10 days for their items. Although individuals loved the products and the response we got from them was overwhelmingly positive, the main issue was people simply didn't get the products fast enough.
The solution? – Well it was a difficult one at first as none of us could just send all day packing orders, and the business itself wasn't profitable enough to pay someone else to do so, instead we decided to think to the future and scale. The solution was to utilise Amazon and their FBA projects. FBA allows amazon to store, pack and deliver your item for you, they take a fee but as long as your product is over £10, the fee is usually only £3.20. This means that if it costs you below £1.80 to produce, which it did in our case, we could still make £5 profit per sale. Get up to 20 sales a day and that's a cool £100 / day which was our short term aim.
This made customers a lot more "impressed" by the process of purchasing and hence had a knock-on effect for the business in its entirety. By this I mean people started telling others and the word of mouth knock-on effect came along nicely! Also reviews started to flow in from Amazon, most of these being extremely positive. Reviews also sell products, so these reviews led to more reviews which lead to more sales and so on! The knock on compound effect is for real! Start the ball rolling and it will keep rolling as long as you started it down the right way!
Another example of this impressive change in action is the transformation of 2 sites that I marketed on for a friend of mine, they are: http://www.ferrarihire.co.uk/ and http://www.astonmartincarhire.com/ although these businesses are a level above what most people consider feasible, they allowed me to get an ensight into what works for marketing in top level industries AKA supercar rental. Todd asked me to give him a hand and I said he had to re-build the sites, they were so freckin confusing. Model click-through options, push to call buttons, skype options, multiple clickable images, scroll options… It was built like an eCommerce store! I said this is not the way.
Simplifying the business was the best way, people could see the price list for each model and then call or email to book, that's it! That's all he needed! So we stripped the site and made it painfully simple to use. Then we worked on ranking him in Google itself for the keywords that got the most searches, this was a lot easier with a simple site and Google responded well with some great ranking increases. This mixed with old school marketing methods and PPC ads was enough to generate £10,000 worth of sales a month! That's a £120,000 per year business in 5 months, not a bad return on time investment!

Hirasawa Ui Tiny Bikini Figure
Moeblob imouto Hirasawa Ui seems to have developed a taste for skimpy bikinis well in advance of her seniors, as Aplhamax's August 2012 release so plainly shows.

This would be an excellent reference for artists to have for a proportionate anatomical example for perfection.
No it is not its freaking ugly go look at real chicks weirdo !
I agree with Anon 09:40
Go look at real chicks Retard !
You mean you agree with yourself?
summoning my wallet..
It doesn't look tiny to me. It's normal.
It almost looks like she's wearing underwear rather than a swimsuit. Only thing that gives it away is the way the top ties behind her neck.
Still a cute figure, though.
-fap fap fap
must not finger myself !
Nice butt, Ui!
I'd tap that
She is so cute... but my wallet is nearly empty.
But she is so beautiful too... but my wallet is nearly empty.
...What should I do? I'll regret it for a long time if I don't buy this figure, but my wallet is so empty that I want to cry. ;_;
Ui... the secret sex goddess of K-ON

dat ass alone would be enough to buy this figurine... MONEY, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?!
I don't even like K-ON character designs and this made my dick hard. Resisting the urge to purchase...

Figurine pricing has gone through the roof these years, I remember when this was the price for an intricate/hard sculpt and paintjob on 1/6 scale.
I think I even bought one of the first 1/4 from FREEing for less.
I'd have her cook for me wearing this.

Detectives are investigating a suspected double murder after the bodies of a mother and daughter were discovered at an address in Farnham.
The victims, one of whom was in her 40s and the other in her 60s, suffered gunshot wounds and a weapon was recovered from the scene.
Police found the bodies at an address off Crooksbury Road in Farnham, Surrey on Sunday morning (Tony Kershaw/ SWNS)
An 82-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and was being held in police custody.
The arrested man was named by neighbours as John Lowe, a puppy breeder and ran a business from his isolated home known as Keeper's Cottage.
Four pet dogs were also found shot dead alongside the women's bodies.
Police found the bodies at an address off Crooksbury Road in Farnham, Surrey on Sunday morning after receiving reports of gunshots in the area.
Police and forensics at the scene in Farnham, Surrey (Tony Kershaw/ SWNS)
The parties involved are all believed to be known to each other and police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. There is not believed to be any risk to the wider community.
Police refused to say whether the mother and dautghter lived locally or whether they had driven to the puppy farm from some distance away.
Mr Lowe lived at the house alone after his wife died a year ago and was a regular shopper at the nearby village store.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Preston said: "It is extremely sad that two people have lost their lives and police family liaison officers are working to support their relatives and friends at this very difficult time.
"We are conducting a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding these two deaths, however, at this time, we believe this is an isolated incident and there is no further risk to the wider community.
"Officers remain at the scene conducting enquiries and will be on site for some time. This investigation is in its early stages and we will issue updates when we have them."

Woodberry Kitchen Ratings and Reviews
I have been to woodberry on 2 previous occasions and loved it so I returned with my family for my 25th birthday. Our reservation was set for 8:15 and the hostess promptly informed us that our table was running late. To accommodate us, they gave my family and I several complimentary glasses of wine and appetizers since the table ran VERY late and we got seated around 915-930. The hostesses updated us every step of the way and apologized for inconveniencing us. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of us. I received birthday dessert and a gift card on behalf of woodberry for our reservation getting pushed back so far. This is not a negative review by any means, I want the public to know how much this establishment cares about their customers and went above and beyond to take care of us and keep us happy during the unfortunate circumstances. I am looking forward to returning to woodberry in the future and although my mother was very unhappy about the wait, she said she would return too.
Woodbury was terrific as always except for a few things. We had an eight o clock reservation but weren't seated til 8:48. They were very nice about it and gave us snacks terrific snacks free of charge to make up for it. I had the meatballs out of the oven for a starter. They were delicious as always. had the scallops as a main course. I found the accompanying rice which I found to be too salty but others in my party didn't think so. We had the butterscotch pudding for dessert. I could eat a tub full. It was so good we got some to take home. The service was excellent as always. Will definitely come back here next time I'm in town
Waiter was super knowledgeable and friendly despite being super busy. There were only two problems. One, there were several occurrences of loud music being blasted into the dining area then turned off, but not immediately. Very distracting. The other was we weren't seated until 30 minutes past our reservation time. I can appreciate a restaurant not being totally in control of how fast tables turn. Nevertheless, there seemed to be a management problem there. The host did a fine job of keeping us informed of progress. It is usually not a problem, but in this instance we had BSO tickets and were really cramped on time because of the delay.
our reservation was for 9:15 , we didn't get seated until 9:45 (after being told it they were just 5-10 minutes behind) and then didn't get our first food, the appetizers, until 10:30. We asked for sparkling water and they gave us flat. The main dishes were ok but the noodles in both dishes were too hard and bit gritty. There's al dente and then there's, well just undercooked. Overall somewhat disappointing. We are regulars and sometimes its great... other times such as this, not so much.
Our experience was awful. We had a 915pm reservation for 5 for my best friends birthday. We did not get seated until after 10pm which led us to have to cancel our other plans that night. We asked about every 15 minutes when our table would be ready and we got multiple different answers such as "a group is still sitting at your table, the table is being cleaned, the resturaunt is swamped." I understand a 10-15 minute delay because of other circumstances but waiting about an hour to be seated for a reservation was absurd and frankly embarrassing to my friends and I that planned this special night for our friend. We were given 2 free appetizers which was nice but did not make up for the fact that we made reservations for a reason. When a resturaunt confirms your reservation, then when you get to the door at the time you should have no more than a 10-15 minute wait, but really no wait at all. Plus while we were just standing in the waiting area about 3 groups came in one with 2 people, one with 4 and one with 6, they all stated they had reservations and were seated within in 10 minutes while we just stood there. We decided to come to Woodberry Kitchen to try something new for our friends birthday and by doing so it ruined the entire night. I really don't understand what the point of me making a reservation was anyway being so we didn't get seated until 50 minutes after our reservation time. And to top it off the portions of the food are extremely small for the price. The only good thing going for them was the decor and ambiance. Will never recommend Woodberry Kitchen to anyone and will never visit again. Worst resturaunt experience I've ever had frankly. Our jobs range from EMTs, teachers and business owners and let me tell you, after a long week of working hard and looking forward to going to a birthday celebration at a new place, this was just terrible.
As usual Woodberry Kitchen is fabulous. To begin with the service is fantastic, a pre-dinner call to ask if we were celebrating anything special is an indicator of their care and effort. We ended up ordering multiple appetizers , oysters, and flatbreads. The waitress timed the various dishes arriving at the table perfectly. We planned on leaving room for dessert and that was a good call. Everything was delicious. Dinner is so special here, a wonderful treat !!!
We enjoyed the entire experience. We were early for our reservation but they seated us anyway, upstairs. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional. We had baked clams, fresh oysters, kitchen pickles, crab cake, potatoes au gratin, and the special: duck on dirty rice. The pickles were a pleasant surprise, a variety of vegetables, each seemingly pickled differently. The duck was done perfectly and the little bits of liver in the rice really added to the texture and flavor. We wouldn't do the apple pie dessert again: crust to filling ratio was off for us with too much crust. But the sorbet was refreshing and packed with flavor. The ginger is especially concentrated so if you are not devoted to ginger it might be too strong. The apple and the cranberry made me hum in happiness. The staff recommended a great beer to go with the duck, "Maude" I think. The wine list seemed pretty extensive, but as a beer drinker I would have liked more choices. There are a lot of good local breweries they could use. Tables are close together, and we enjoyed chatting with those close to us, but not everyone may like having other diners so close. Even though we were packed in fairly tight, the accoustics allowed for easy conversation, and we didn't feel that we could be overheard by others unless we wanted to. Prices are on the expensive side, but the food and the experience made it a good value. We were using a gift card so that may color our view of the cost. Driving there was a bit confusing, so use the website for directions.
Dinner, cocktails and dessert was great. Restaurant has a cosy and warm fell with an old rustic feel. My husband and daughter had scallops and they were delicious. My tavern steak was not. It was tough to chew and I did not love the flavor. The steak was also rare to medium rare when I had requested medium. I should have recognized that my waitress was trying to steer me in the direction of the Duck. I did not jump on her hints. All in all, wonderful place to dine just avoid the Tavern Steak.
I throughly enjoyed the restaurant and the atmosphere. I was looking for a new and fun place to take my parents on their 30th anniversary. I was disappointed in the food quality and portions. The servers seemed more interested in clearing the dishes then providing us with more bread or crackers. I'm pretty sure they just wanted to get to the next table in and out.
One of my main issues was that I had 2 main dishes in mind to order that night and they were sold out of both. So I settled for what I thought/told was second if not third best on the menu. I was not impressed! My father and I were both disappointed we could not order the NY strip or the Rock fish since we put in a reservation b4 7:15 and did not get seated till 8. I'm sorry but I expected more for the money spent.
I appreciate the service and the great atmosphere but in a possible future visit i hope for a better experience.
Best of Luck
Years ago I would have told anyone that Woodberry Kitchen was absolutely the best restaurant in Baltimore. The last couple times I've been however it was quite a disappointment so I decided to give it one more try and again, didn't live up to the hype. I made reservations a month out and we were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. The small plates (hot and cold) and flatbreads were ok. We all got desserts which are all way over priced and no one liked their desserts that much. Wine and beer selection was good. I was really hoping it would knock my socks off like it did about 8 years ago but I unfortunately the food just isnt that good anymore and its way over priced.
Service was a bit slow. We were seated at 7:30pm and we still hadn't ordered 45 minutes later. However, the food was very good, when it arrived, and we had a nice time. The chicken liver started was amazing. I had the tavern steak, which was very good too. We were among colleagues, celebrating a difficult day at work which ended very well, as well as a colleague's birthday. We got a nice treat at the end to acknowledge the occasion.
This is quite simply the best restaurant experience I have ever had, after 20 years of traveling to business meetings across the country and eating at all kinds of places. If you are in the Baltimore area, do not miss this. The food is beyond excellent. The barn-like ambiance is wonderful. We brought business clients and they were out of their mind with the food and experience. All at a very reasonable cost. I will not ever go to Baltimore again without going to Woodberry's
We had a great meal at Woodberry Kitchen. The appetizers - crab pot, chicken liver and beef dumplings - were all terrific. Our entrees were equally good - trout, pork chop, chicken and biscuits, crab cake. Service as always was very attentive. We had a late party member but it never seemed to matter to our server. (If it did, she didn't let it show.) I really appreciated her patience.
The food is always fantastic. Spike is a genius. Live the locally sourced ingredients.
I have one problem with this restaurant.
Every single time I have eaten here I have made a reservation and every time I show up for that time, I am made to wait for a table. On Sunday evening we were not seated until over an half an hour after our reservation. As I have previously worked as a hostess in a fine dining establishment, know this to be unacceptable. It would be different if it were ten or fifteen minutes, but over a half hour is very inconvenient and doesn't engender positive relationships between patrons and the front of house.
The food tends to make up for it, but for the prices, it would be nice if they comped our first round of drinks or an appetizer, or something for the inconvenience.
Even an apology or acknowledgement of the situation would have been nice. Neither of those things were offered.
The chicken and biscuits was delicious, but the biscuits were much smaller than when I've previously ordered this meal.
The duck ravioli was out of this world.
great food and service. five of us shared fried oysters, roasted garlic, spicy cheese, deviled eggs, meatballs, the crab pot, chicken and biscuit, strip steak, dirty rice rockfish, rabbit rigatoni and a verity of drinks and desserts. everything was wonderful and I can't wait to get back.
Our waiter, Patrick, was absolutely phenomenal. He really knows how to make a table feel special. The trout was overcooked, and in lieu of a part of a dish left off because of an allergen, no alternative side was offered and we still paid the same price. We will come again, but next time will be sure to ask about sides being left off and what alternatives are available, or a discount.
Took an out of town friend here today for the first time ever and we had a fantastic time. We were seated upstairs, which we loved, and got the donut and corn bread to start with. Donut wasn't the best, but we enjoyed the corn bread. Breakfast was delicious, and the waiters were very attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, it was very scenic.
This was my 4th visit to Woodberry, but first for brunch. No surprises -- impeccable food, fantastic food service, a little too noisy (energetic per Open Table is not the right adjective), and a wait for the table although reservations were made well in advance. That's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 stars on service. The staff is fantastic but managing reservations lacks, especially after they confirm the time and party ahead of time. A free pop-tart and crumb cake are nice but do not make up for the 30 minute wait for a reservation.
This was our second visit to Woodberry Kitchen. My husband and I love the food and the atmosphere. I had a delicious cocktail called Gold Dust, and my husband and I shared the crab pot as an appetizer and then enjoyed our entrees. Everything was delicious. I have 2 complaints, however: I made a reservation for 9:00, and we arrived right on time (despite having a confused Uber driver), but we weren't seated until almost 9:30. Luckily we got seats at the bar while we waited. The other issue: when I made the Open Table reservation, I received a confirmation email letting me know that someone from the restaurant would call the day before our reservation to confirm. The email also stated that if it was a special occasion, I should let them know. It was my husband's 50th birthday, so I told the person on the phone, and she said she'd make a note of it. However, the night of our dinner no one mentioned it at all. I didn't expect all the servers to gather around our table and sing Happy Birthday, but I thought someone might at least mention it. If you indicate to your customers that a special occasion will be acknowledged in some way, you should follow through.
They noted my dietary restrictions and allergies from my previous visits. The server came to the table with recommendations based on my dietary restrictions when we arrived. Each plate came out with a note that the food was prepared with my allergy in mind. This is a level of service I have not received at another other restaurant. The food was exceptional and the service was fantastic.
We had a nice family meal but were both disappointed by our entrees -- the crab cake was good, not great, and not too much meat included. The sides were meager and not that filling -- for the price, we were disappointed. My husband had the special short ribs that tasted fine but I did not have the discerning palate to understand how good it was supposed to be. For 34 bucks, it seems it should be a bit more of a wow experience. It tasted like good pot roast! The kids were happy with their meatballs, fried potatoes, and salads. The flatbread was actually the very best thing we ate -- oh and the apple tartine dessert. For such a hyped establishment, we came away satisfied but not overly impressed.

Though they occupy opposite ends of the NBA spectrum, both the Lakers and Clippers will be well-represented at All-Star Weekend in Dallas. Chris Kaman joins Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol as a Western Conference All-Star. Eric Gordon might join Shannon Brown in the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday (pending results of his dunk-off with DeMar DeRozan), and Gordon will also play in the Rookie Challenge on Friday night.
Did you know this will be only the fourth time since 1980 that both the Lakers and Clippers will have at least one player on the All-Star team? Did you know Brown is only the fourth player in Lakers history to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest? Or that only Brent Barry (who won in 1996) is the only Clipper to win the Slam Dunk Contest?
That's right; it's Lakers-Clippers All-Star trivia time. And we're just getting started:
From 1992-96, no Laker played in the NBA All-Star Game. Outside that time span, the 1978 NBA All-Star Game was the only one that did not feature a Lakers player.
Before the advent of the so-called "Riley Rule," which stipulates that the same coach cannot coach an All-Star team in consecutive seasons, Pat Riley coached the Western Conference team eight times in nine seasons from 1982 to 1990, posting a 3-5 record. During the Lakers' "Showtime" era (1980-91) the East actually held a 3-9 record against the West.
The most recent Clipper to start an NBA All-Star Game was World B. Free in 1980. Randy Smith is the only Clipper to be named All-Star Game MVP (1978).
The Clippers have had more players in the All-Star rookie game from 1995-2004 (10) than players in the NBA All-Star Game (9) from 1970-2010.
Michael Cooper is the only Laker to participate in both the 3-Point Contest (1987) and the Slam Dunk Contest (1984). No Laker has participated in the 3-Point Contest since 1987, when both Byron Scott and Cooper were in the competition.
The Lakers have had 27 players selected to the NBA All-Star Game. Jerry West tops the list with 14 appearances. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected 13 times, and this year Bryant passed Elgin Baylor (11) to join Magic Johnson with 12 All-Star selections.
From 2000-09, a Lakers player was selected MVP five times. All five were either Bryant or Shaquille O'Neal. The last Lakers MVP not named Bryant or O'Neal was Johnson in 1992.
There have been four instances when co-MVPs have been named. Three of the four times, a Lakers player was involved. Last year, Bryant shared it with O'Neal. In 2000, O'Neal was co-MVP with Tim Duncan, and in 1959, Baylor of the Minneapolis Lakers shared MVP honors with Bob Pettit.
Los Angeles has hosted the All-Star Game four times, and the East and West have split them with two victories each.
One Laker has won MVP of the Rookie Game: Eddie Jones, who took home the honors in the 1995 game when it was White versus Green.
Abdul-Jabbar was selected for and played in the All-Star Game in 11 straight seasons, and 13 of 14 years from 1976-89. He never won the All-Star MVP during his career, despite playing in 19 games.
Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar combined for one of the best one-two punches in All-Star Game history, highlighted by their performance in 1984. Abdul-Jabbar posted 25 points and 13 rebounds and Johnson had 15 points, 22 assists and nine rebounds. Neither would win the MVP, however, as Isiah Thomas (21 points, 15 assists and 4 steals) took home the honors after the East beat the West 154-145 in overtime.
Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones and Bryant are the only Lakers to go from playing in the rookie game to playing in the All-Star Game.
O'Neal was voted to seven All-Star Games as a Laker but due to injuries did not play in three of them, the most missed by any Laker. West (1969), Johnson (1989) and Cedric Ceballos (1995) are the only other Lakers to be voted to the game and miss it because of injury.
Chris Kaman is only the fifth different Los Angeles Clipper to play in the All-Star Game. The other four are Norm Nixon (1985), Marques Johnson (1986), Danny Manning (1993, '94) and Elton Brand (2002, '06).
Nixon is the only player to be selected to the All-Star Game as both a Laker (1982) and a Clipper (1985).
One of the most memorable renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung by Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, held at the Forum in Inglewood.
The Lakers have had two or more players selected to the same All-Star team 45 times. The combinations of West and Baylor, as well as Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, were selected to play in the same All-Star Game nine times.
Two Clippers have made the All-Star Game in the same year only once, in 1976, when they were the Buffalo Braves and both Bob McAdoo and Randy Smith were selected.
Bryant (30) needs two steals to pass Thomas (31) for second place in career steals during the All-Star Game, and eight to pass Michael Jordan (37) on the list. Bryant (307) also needs 12 points to pass Baylor (318) for sixth place on the career scoring list during the All-Star Game, and 15 points to pass Julius Erving (321) for fifth place on the list.

Los Angeles and federal transportation officials have unveiled a new system intended to prevent head-on train crashes like the Chatsworth Metrolink disaster that left 25 people dead and nearly 100 injured in 2008.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told CBS2 ( http://cbsloc.al/QfsWNV ) during a media preview of the new system on a test train Monday that the positive train control system will be operational before the 2015 federal deadline.
The system monitors and controls train movements remotely and can stop trains headed for collision.
It is on an accelerated pace thanks to a $20.9 million grant from the California Department of Transportation.
Officials believe if the system had been in place, the Sept. 12, 2008 Chatsworth crash between a Metrolink commuter train and a freight train could have been prevented.

FALLBROOK -- A developer with plans to excavate gravel from Rosemary's Mountain still has permits to file, land to buy and $20 million worth of road work to complete before it can begin operating at the site near Interstate 15 and State Route 76, officials said last week.
However, with a key land-use permit in hand, the developer, Granite Construction Co., says it is confident it can complete most of those tasks and break ground at the small mountain visible from I-15 by late summer.
Granite Construction, with its controversial proposal to build Liberty Quarry in neighboring Riverside County, is also developing the Rosemary's Mountain quarry, where about 1.1 million tons of rock a year will be mined for 20 years, according to project manager Gary Johnson.
"We hope to break ground before the end of the summer," Johnson said. "We are completing the design of the Highway 76 widening and straightening, and trying to acquire the mitigation land and put it into a trust, which is a condition of the project."
Mitigation land is property that must be bought and set aside as natural habitat to make up for undisturbed land that will be developed at the project site.
Granite Construction says it is working with a partner, Palomar Aggregates, but has the lead role in developing Rosemary's Mountain.
The total size of the Rosemary's Mountain site is 94 acres, but only 38 acres will be used to mine "aggregate," an industry term that describes the mix of sand and crushed rock that are key ingredients in asphalt and concrete.
When it is developed, the site will have an asphalt plant and will provide a source of building materials that Granite Construction says will be in short supply in North County within the next few years.
Meanwhile, members of the project's steadiest opponent, RiverWatch, say they are still opposed to the location of the quarry, but are out of tactics to delay the project.
While the Liberty Quarry proposal is relatively new, Johnson said, his company has been working to get the Rosemary's Mountain project approved for six years. Before that, Palomar Aggregates was fighting to gain approval for more than a decade, first applying for a permit to operate a quarry there in April 1987, he said.
The most important permit for the Rosemary's Mountain facility, the land-use permit, was issued in October 2002 by the county, Johnson said.
Soon after, RiverWatch, a group of residents best known for its fight against the proposed Gregory Canyon landfill, filed a legal challenge, charging that the environmental impact report did not adequately address the effects the quarry would have on air quality.
The lawsuit was struck down by the 4th District Court of Appeal in October 2004, and Granite Construction proceeded with plans to begin mining.
On Thursday, RiverWatch leader Ruth Harber said she remained opposed to the quarry, though her group has largely given up the struggle since its lawsuit was struck down.
"We're still opposed, but unfortunately there's nothing much we can do," Harber said. "This kind of stuff does not belong next to … the San Luis Rey River. It's not compatible with our environment."
She said the group stays up to date on the project and would like to keep Granite Construction honest about the effects its project may have, but cannot afford to attempt another legal challenge.
Road work, other challenges
Still, hurdles remain for developers of the Rosemary's Mountain quarry.
One is the requirement to widen Highway 76 to four lanes from Interstate 15 east to the turnoff to the quarry -- about 1.3 miles -- before the site can begin operating, Johnson said.
"When we break ground, the first thing we're going to do is widen and straighten a portion of State Route 76," he said. "It's a very costly endeavor, but it's something that's very badly needed. It's a dangerous stretch of road."
The improvements are designed compensate for the 250 to 300 daily truck trips that the company estimates the quarry will add to the already busy highway.
Sam Amen, the California Department of Transportation project manager overseeing Granite Construction's road widening, said this week that the developer has to finish securing a right of way for the entire corridor and furnish several environmental permits before it can begin.
"The environmental permits have to be ready before they start digging any soil," Amen said, estimating that the project will take about two years to complete because certain times of year will be off-limits to road work due to sensitive river habitat nearby. "They've said they can do it faster, which may be. But if they work regular hours, it's going to take two years."
Johnson said his company must also buy some more land to set aside elsewhere in the county to offset the environmental effects of the quarry, a common practice when developers disturb sensitive habitat.
In all, about 94 acres will be set aside, he said. "Probably the biggest thing that's held us back is acquiring and putting plans together for three separate pieces of property that will be permanently protected as mitigation for the impacts of the project."
Comparing operations
Rosemary's Mountain will be a much smaller operation than the proposed Liberty Quarry, where Granite Construction plans to mine about 5 million tons of aggregate annually for 50 to 60 years.
If built, Liberty Quarry would offer 155 acres on which to mine sand and gravel, as opposed to 38 acres at Rosemary's Mountain.
Plans for Liberty Quarry were submitted in March 2005 to Riverside County officials, because the property is just north of the Riverside-San Diego county line, to the west of I-15 near the Temecula Border Patrol checkpoint.
That proposal has also drawn heated opposition, as nearby residents protest the ill effects they say the quarry will have on everything from the environment to property values.
Perhaps because it is larger, and because of its location near communities in two counties, the Liberty Quarry proposal has drawn fire from a wider range of residents, with two groups scrutinizing every detail of the proposal.
Protests to the Rosemary's Mountain project mostly focused on added traffic on Highway 76 and the dust that opponents have said will affect air quality in the area, but have died down in the last two years.
Why both?
Recently, some who have gotten involved in the protests over Liberty Quarry are surprised to learn the same company has a second facility in the works less than 10 miles away that will produce the same type of materials.
Johnson, however, said both quarries are "absolutely" needed to serve the construction industry in North County and Southwest Riverside County.
Some state officials agree.
State geologist John Parrish said Thursday that current aggregate supplies may begin running dry within a decade if quarries such as Rosemary's Mountain are not built.
"The thing about aggregate is that it is a low-value, high-volume commodity," Parrish said. "It needs to be produced close to the area of consumption. Otherwise, the cost of transportation is extremely high."
Parrish said the current price of aggregate at the source is about $7 per ton, and that trucking a ton of aggregate 30 miles costs about $4.50. This means that the price of the material is approximately doubled if it is transported 45 miles, and the cost of the transportation is almost always passed on to the taxpayer or consumer, Parrish said.
"It leads to higher costs for roads, which the taxpayers pick up, and higher costs for housing, which of course the consumer picks up directly," he said. "If you were building one mile of a six-lane interstate, it would take 113,000 tons of aggregate. If you had to transport that amount just 30 miles, from a mine to where the road was, it would add $510,000 to the cost of that project."
Parrish pointed to a recent study published by the state's Geological Survey that he said illustrates that agencies throughout the state will need to begin "permitting," or approving, more sources of aggregate soon.
The study found that western San Diego County -- a region that includes most of the county's developed areas, excluding the mountainous eastern parts -- will require about 1.1 billion tons of aggregate to satisfy building requirements in the next 50 years.
"There is plenty of this type of rock in California," he said. "We're not running short of the rock, but we are short of permitted supplies."
He also emphasized the high cost of transporting the heavy rock, and said if consumers and taxpayers don't mind paying higher prices for roads and houses, the solution could be to import building materials.
Otherwise, quarries will have to be built near communities like Fallbrook, where development is anticipated, he concluded.
Johnson has predicted for years that Rosemary's Mountain -- which is much nearer to completion than the Liberty project -- would not be enough to satisfy local demand for aggregate.
During a 2004 interview, before Granite Construction began pursuing plans for Liberty Quarry, he said Rosemary's Mountain would not be the only gravel mine needed in the area.
"It takes a very long time to start these facilities," he said last week. "We're anxious to get it up and going."

- "The platoons are in the formation you've requested, General. Should I send them to support Captain Rex?"
"I'll give the order when I give it, Sergeant Appo."
- ―Appo and Pong Krell
"Appo" was a clone trooper created from the genetic template of the human bounty hunter Jango Fett. Like his brethren, he was grown and trained to serve as a soldier of the Galactic Republic. With the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic and the subsequent outbreak of the Clone Wars, Appo fought against the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in a galaxy-wide civil war. He served as a sergeant in the elite 501st Legion by the time of the Umbara campaign, initially leading clone troopers into battle under the leadership of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker until command of the 501st was temporarily transferred to General Pong Krell. Though he obediently followed Krell's orders, Appo and the 501st ultimately arrested the fallen Jedi for committing acts of treason against the Republic.
By 19 BBY, the final year of the Clone Wars, Appo had been promoted to the rank of commander while still serving in the 501st Legion. At that time, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious—publicly known as Sheev Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic—instructed the Grand Army to execute Order 66, branding the Jedi as enemies of the state. Due to his design as a clone, Appo complied with the protocol and turned against the Jedi Order. He accompanied the 501st during their attack on the Jedi Temple of Coruscant where he encountered Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan. While barring the inquisitive politician from entering the facility at the point of a DC-15A blaster, Appo and his squad were ambushed by the Padawan Zett Jukassa who succeeded in killing and wounding several clones, including Appo, before his own death.
Early lifeEdit
The clone known as Appo[1] was grown from the genetic source of the bounty hunter Jango Fett.[4] Bred on the extragalactic world of Kamino,[5] he was created to serve in an army of clone troopers that had been developed in secret to become the armed forces of the Galactic Republic.[4] Within ten years of the clone army's inception, the Republic went to war with the secessionist movement known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As a result, Appo became a soldier in the newly-formed Grand Army of the Republic, serving in a number of critical battles across a galaxy divided by the Clone Wars.[1]
The Clone WarsEdit
Service under KrellEdit
- "Sergeant, their defenses are down. Send in the rest of our forces. Attack the airbase."
"All units, move out."
- ―Pong Krell and Appo
In 20 BBY, Appo served as a sergeant in the 501st Legion by the time of the Republic invasion of Umbara.[1] At first he fought the Separatist-aligned Umbarans under the leadership of Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight and general of the Grand Army. However, Skywalker was recalled to the Republic capital of Coruscant, leaving Appo and the legion under the command of another Jedi officer, General Pong Krell, for the duration of the campaign.[6]
Following a failed attempt to invade the capital city of Umbara,[6] Krell and the 501st were dispatched on a new assignment to secure a heavily fortified Umbaran airbase that was critical to the Republic's strategy. At the General's command, Captain CT-7567 ("Rex") led a vanguard assault on the base's defense perimeter while Appo and the majority of the 501st remained at Krell's side as he observed the fighting from a distance. After the Umbarans' defenses were sabotaged by two clone infiltrators, the ARC trooper CT-5555 ("Fives") and the trooper known as "Hardcase," Krell gave the order for a full-scale attack, allowing Appo to deploy the rest of the legion to occupy the airbase.[7]
In the aftermath of the battle for the airbase, Fives and another trooper, CT-5597 ("Jesse") were placed under military arrest for acts of insubordination against Krell.[8] Although they were originally scheduled to be court-martialed, the General used his authority to sentence them both to summary execution. Appo escorted the rogue clones to the site of their execution, although the firing squad ultimately refused to carry out the order. Shortly afterward, it was discovered that Krell had been secretly supporting the Separatist cause after falling to the dark side of the Force. In response to the fallen Jedi's acts of treason, Appo and the 501st Legion mutinied against Krell with the support of the 212th Attack Battalion. Despite sustaining a number of casualties, they successfully apprehended the former Jedi. Krell was ultimately executed by the trooper "Dogma", who was ironically the former Jedi's most loyal follower.[2]
Order 66Edit
- "What's going on here?"
"There's been a rebellion, sir. Don't worry. The situation is under control. […] I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave."
- ―Bail Organa and Appo
After the events on Umbara, Appo received a promotion to the rank of clone commander.[9] In the waning days of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious—the Dark Lord of the Sith who orchestrated the fall of democracy in his guise as Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine—activated Order 66,[3] a secret protocol that compelled the clone troopers to become hostile to the Jedi.[10] As a result, Appo participated in the march on the Jedi Temple where the 501st Legion, led by the newly-anointed Sith Lord Darth Vader, proceeded to slaughter their former allies, including padawans and younglings.[3]
The attack on the Jedi headquarters drew the Alderaanian Senator Bail Organa to the Temple, only to be barred from entering the facility by Appo and a contingent of the 501st. The commander claimed that the Temple had become the site of a "Jedi rebellion" and threatened Organa at the point of a blaster when the politician initially ignored the clone's attempt to block his path. However, their encounter with Organa distracted the clones from the approaching Padawan Zett Jukassa, who managed to kill and wound several soldiers before he was fatally shot by a 501st trooper.[3]
Personality and traitsEdit
For most of his life, Appo had been trained for service as a soldier of the Galactic Republic.[4] Like his clone brethren, he was also conditioned to be absolutely loyal to the chain of command, obeying every order without question.[11] Though he witnessed firsthand Pong Krell's willingness to sacrifice clone lives for victory,[1] Appo nonetheless remained loyal to his general until it was discovered that the Besalisk Jedi had betrayed the Republic.[2] As a result of his programming, in the form of a control chip in his brain,[10] Appo was forced to comply with Order 66.[3]
As a clone of Jango Fett, Appo was physically identical to his human template in height and appearance. He stood at 1.83 meters and inherited his progenitor's hair and skin pigmentation as well.[1]
As a clone soldier in service to the Republic, Appo was equipped with the Phase II armor which supplanted the original Phase I version as the standard armor of the Grand Army clone troopers.[12] In combat he utilized the DC-15A blaster[3] and DC-15 blaster rifle.[2] In addition, his utility belt was equipped with a N-20 Baradium-core thermal detonator.[13] During his tenure as a sergeant, Appo's helmet had a white arrow shape running down its forehead.[9] However, by the time of Order 66 this symbol was removed.[3]
Behind the scenesEdit
Appo first appeared in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, where he was voiced by Temuera Morrison, and like every other clone trooper in the film, portrayed entirety with computer-generated imagery.[14] The clone trooper voiceover artist Dee Bradley Baker provided Appo's voice in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. The arrow on Appo's helmet is a nod to Appa, a character from Avatar: The Last Airbender, a show that The Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni had previously worked on.[9]

My Forum
Personally I hate ads. I dislike the colour of the forum a little too. it would be nicer if you also have a banner to match with the forum colour.
I agree previous post about colours. Red text in blue background Ligh green text in light blue background I couldn't read those so clear. Dark red in light blue is good.
You should use colours from your banner in template like wumingsden wrote. Black background, yellow text, white links and orange headers, or something else.
PS. I hadn't JavaScript allowed in that page, so I didn't face any ads. I ads comes from server, post here good post and take host here and make own forum and page.

Rs. 1,27,000
Total Course Fees
Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology (CCET) is under the administrative control of the Chandigarh Administration and is affiliated to Punjab University for its degree courses and Punjab State Board of Technical Education for its Diploma courses.
Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology, Chandigarh(CCET), formerly known as Central Polytechnic Chandigarh (CPC), was established in 1959 (which offered Diploma Courses in Engineering).
To cater to the aspiration and ambition of exponentially growing population of Chandigarh, the Chandigarh Administration upgraded CPC to CCET by starting the Degree Wing and by introducing two branches of Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science Engineering and Electronics and Electrical Communication in the year 2002. At that point of time, the degree wing was under construction. Therefore, the classes for the first batch were held in PEC.
In 2004, the wing was completed and the CSE and EECE branches were officially commenced. In the year 2006-2007 two new courses in the discipline of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering were started with 20 students each(the number being raised to 60 in 2009). The foundation stone for Block B of degree wing was laid in 2008 with the construction beginning in 2010.
Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology aims to be a center of Excellence for imparting Technical Education and serving the society with self-motivated and highly competent technocrats.
Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology mission is to deliver the highest quality engineering graduates, provide innovative educational environments, opportunities, and experiences that enable them to emerge as leaders who in turn will benefit the society both locally and globally.

Waves of excitement
wash up abandoned dreams
across wounded coastlines,
softly onto beaches of fleeting desires
and violently against rocks of loss-
some of us are gentle oceans
and the rest are god damn pirates.
I know it's a war out there
because something is always killing me.
I went out into the trenches
for drinks last night,
thinking about trouble,
to mingle with the salty dogs
and watch the women all throw shade-
I caught the hands of a giant
just to gather ammunition
for a few more rounds to blast
into the page.
life in an amusement park
Waking up from a round trip
straight to hell and back,
I'm still sweating,
and with breath like gasoline
I dust off the ashes
and dodge calls from the devil
who is jealous of the way I danced through his flames;
but long nights make long days
and I'm mourning the morning,
wrestling the rest of the day,
hour by hour
into the dusk,
where I can retire
to look for red wine redemption
at the bottom of a glass,
but find only ostensible truths
fortify a bar stool prophet-
enlightened for the night,
or at least another drink
before getting into bed to sleep it off.
the bird over LA
It isn't even rush hour
and LA is already a wasteland of brake lights,
a desert where I become stranded
in lost cause thoughts,
torn between
living up to delusions of grandeur
and giving the whole thing the finger-
life may be a party
but there's nowhere to park.
zero tolerance tardiness policy
It's one of those mornings
where nothing makes sense-
I just ashed in my coffee
racing with the clock,
and after a night of sleep replaced
by bottles of wine, spliffs,
and conversations about the moon,
I knew I'd end up here,
driving through traffic
with my head in the clouds.
summer '16
I think I'll
sucker punch the summer
so I'm not wrestling the night
into the morning everyday,
waking up in a LA sweat,
hoping today will be the day
but procrastinating until tomorrow.

It's official; the Maryland Senate voted 35-12 to pass SB 627 today. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail that I received from Maryland ASA – "Next, the bill moves to the House where they have until midnight Monday to pass the Senate version of bill without any changes. It will take some serious political will and quick action in order for the House to adopt the legislation. But, this is an overwhelming positive development in terms of support within the Senate chamber."
One of the bill's sponsors, Senator David Brinkley (R-Frederick) said, "I'm very proud of my Senate colleagues today for voting to provide some of our most vulnerable residents with the compassion and care that they deserve. Anyone who has watched a loved one suffer from a debilitating illness would agree that we should not stand between doctors and patients, or deprive seriously ill people safe access to a legitimate medicine if it can help them cope with their illness."
Another sponsor, Senator Jamie Raskin (D-Silver Spring) said, "We think this bill offers the most carefully crafted medical marijuana law in the country. It offers legal protection and safe medical access to patients who are desperately in need and takes every possible measure to prevent abuse. I'm hopeful that our colleagues in the House will give this proposal serious consideration, and make Maryland's medical marijuana law a national model for how to promote medical privacy, social compassion, and security in administration."
The original version of SB 627 can be found here
Amendments to SB 627 from the recent Senate Judicial Committee can be found here
The Maryland system would resemble the New Jersey system, as opposed to medical marijuana systems in the West. Patients could not grow it for themselves; the state would determine who grows the medicine. State licensed dispensaries would distribute it, with a limit of 6 ounces per month.

On February 16, 2015, arbitrator Denis Provençal issued an important decision1 affecting pension plans in Quebec. He found that the active employment of employees affected by a plant closure ends on the day the plant closes permanently. This decision sets aside previous rulings of the New Brunswick courts,2 including that province's Court of Appeal, which had determined that active employment for such employees continues until the end of their recall privileges.
On February 29, 2012, RockTenn announced that it was permanently closing its Matane plant. In April 2012, the union and the employer signed a permanent closure agreement. In accordance with this agreement, all employees were paid a few weeks' notice and their pensions were calculated. Inventories and raw materials on the site were sold, and the plant equipment was partly dismantled. Some parts were sent to other plants, and the paper-machine boilers were pierced so that cardboard could no longer be produced at the Matane location.
In April 2014, three plant employees, two of whom continued working after February 29 to ensure an orderly closure, filed grievances claiming the benefit of an early retirement, pursuant to the plan in place. They argued that they had already accumulated 20 years of service when the plant closed and had reached the age of 55 during the period covered by their recall privileges set out in the applicable collective agreement. The employees claimed that they had continued to be actively at work until the expiry of their recall privileges – in this instance, a period of 36 months after their last day of work.
The union argued that under the collective agreement, employees lost their seniority only if they had not been hired back after being on layoff for more than 36 consecutive months. Again according to the union, in view of such recall privileges providing that an employee has the right "[translation] to be rehired as jobs open up," a layoff could only become a termination, and thus end active employment, after the 36-month period had expired. Employees who turned 55 during the 36-month period following the plant closure should therefore be considered as having been actively at work on their birthday and thus eligible for early retirement. This was the position taken by arbitrator Brian Bruce in a decision involving a pension plan that was substantially identical to RockTenn's3 – a decision that was subsequently upheld by both the Court of Queen's Bench (superior court)4 and the Court of Appeal5 of New Brunswick, giving it significant precedential value.
The employer argued that, in Quebec, an employee's active employment should end when it has become clear that there is no possibility of a return to work. In this case, because the end of work for the employees was permanent, it could in no way be considered a layoff, in whatever form, giving rise to recall privileges, as their active employment ended in 2012.
The decision
The arbitrator begins by noting that the February 2012 closure was permanent, leaving the employees with no hope of being called back to work. It therefore remained to be determined whether, as a result of having turned 55 during their recall period, they could receive the pension benefits they were seeking.
Upon reviewing the relevant wording of the collective agreement, the pension plan and the Supplemental Pension Plans Act6 (SPPA), the arbitrator states that he cannot ignore applicable Quebec law and consequently draws on sections 36 and 54 of the SPPA and its interpretation by the Quebec courts7 to conclude that "[translation] […] it is the real possibility of a return to work and not simply the existence of recall privileges that must be considered in determining whether the three employees are correct in claiming that they were continuing their active employment at RockTenn."8 He also points out that it is necessary to consider the situation as a whole "[translation] […] to determine if the closure was a permanent closure and whether the recall privileges provided for in the collective agreement, the SPPA and a pension plan became theoretical and whether they can be exercised."9
Addressing an additional argument from the union that the sale of the plant could have given rise to the application of section 45 of the Labour Code,10 which would have bound the acquirer to comply with the recall privilege provisions of the collective agreement, the arbitrator, noting that there was no evidence of a possible resumption of operations, states that "[translation] in Boucher, the T.A.Q. (the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec) ruled that the Régie des rentes du Québec (Quebec's pension board) could not rely on subsequent events to identify a new possibility of a return to work."11
The arbitrator, finding that the three employees had no real and reasonable possibility of being recalled after their last day of work at the Matane plant, therefore dismissed the three grievances.
This decision has the merit of clearly rejecting the principles adopted by the New Brunswick courts, which had raised serious doubts among employers and pension plan administrators since 2008. It serves as a reminder of how important the events surrounding a business closure decision are, underscoring the need for employers to act in a manner consistent with a closure decision by, among other things, settling all the details with the unions, paying the amounts due to the affected employees and making sure there is no longer any real possibility for them to return to work. Otherwise, the door will always be open to employees claiming that they were actively at work during the recall period provided for in their agreement.
An application for judicial review has been filed concerning this decision.

Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifer is proposed as an option for mitigating CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, but multiwell injection into the same aquifer will cause pressurization. While many papers have considered long term CO2 trapping, few have addressed the role of pressure monitoring during injection as a way to ensure that the injection pressure does not exceed a regulated value below the fracturing pressure.
This work provides models for the injection falloff response that can be used for permanent pressure gauges installed at the injection interval for aquifer characterization and, in particular, for CO2 leak detection. A three region analytical composite reservoir model with sealing or constant pressure outer boundary is used to model numerically simulated falloff data for CO2 injection from a hypothetical 500 MW coal power plant. The analysis shows that regular falloff tests can monitor the advance of the dry zone and provide a reasonable estimate for the average aquifer pressure for the well injection area. The latter can be used for material balance, and simulations show that the behavior of the average pressure versus time is sensitive to the presence of a leak. Furthermore, it may be possible to determine whether the leak is located in the dry zone, two-phase zone, or the unswept brine zone.
Pressure behavior in CO2 storage aquifers has been neglected thus far in the literature. In reality, analysis of successive pressure falloff tests easily distinguishes over time whether a well is injecting into a limited volume exhibiting pseudosteady state behavior, an open aquifer with constant pressure support, or an effectively infinite aquifer. This paper spells out why pressure monitoring makes sense during CO2 injection.
Deep saline aquifers contain saline water, or brine, in rock pore space at depths of several thousand feet. The brine is too saline to be used for industrial, municipal, or agricultural purposes, and studies by NETL [2007] and the IPCC [2007] suggest that the underground volume in deep saline aquifers is more than sufficient for envisioned volumes of CO2 to be sequestered.
When bulk CO2 is injected into the aquifer, it accumulates around the injection well creating a zone of high CO2 saturation taking up nearly 100% of the pore space. This zone is called a dry zone because nearly all of the water is displaced away from the well. Because CO2 is less dense than the brine it also rises near the well forming a plume that spreads at the top of the aquifer. Immediately above the aquifer is a seal that prevents the brine from flowing to the shallower horizons, and the seal should also prevent upward migration of the CO2. However, if the CO2 managed to find a hole in the aquifer seal, it could rise and flow into other formations. Well above the depths envisioned for CO2 sequestration may be fresh water aquifers suitable for drinking water, irrigation or other uses. Clearly, injected CO2 must not leak from the aquifer intended for storage.
Oddly, there is little evidence in the literature that current demonstration CO2 sequestration projects have emphasized an obvious approach to monitor injection wells using pressure measurements. This paper shows how regular pressure falloff tests can monitor the expanding radius of the dry zone and would readily show the presence of leaking CO2 or brine from the aquifer. The CMG-GEM™ simulator [Nghiem, et al 2004] was used to generate simulations for pressure and saturation behavior during bulk CO2 injection. Periodic injection falloff tests were simulated to show what behavior can be observed over 30 years of continued injection.

Over the years, Luke Bryan has brought many fans on stage to sing with him, but we're pretty sure 5-year old Bella is going to be remembered as the ultimate mini-fan.
During a tour stop in Bristow, Virginia, on June 9, Bella joined Bryan on stage to sing "Kill the Lights." Much to Bryan's surprise, and the delight of the audience, his little fan knew all the words.
"So pretty much you know my music better than my 5-year-old, should we do the real thing?" When Bella agreed, Bryan told his band, "She's on it. Here we go!"
The two adorably took turns at the mic, without Bella missing a beat. Bryan's daddy side came out on a couple of occasion as he carefully wiped Bella's hair out of her eyes and kissed her forehead. The crowd loved every moment of the performance, and we're certain this isn't the last we'll see of little Bella. According to Bella's mom, the little girl had been practicing all year for her big night.
Watch the video of Luke Bryan and 5-year old Bella singing "Kill the Lights" below.

Cornwall's backbone, a 50 mile stretch of coast with some of the world's finest beaches whether you are a surfer, a beachcomber or looking for a gastro extravaganza. The North Cornish coast has it all. But there are plenty of lesser-known delights here too, so take a step off the beaten track to discover another side of Cornwall's north coast.
North Cornwall holiday cottages are the ideal base for exploring any of the top surfing beaches, from Portreath up through St Agnes, Perranporth and Newquay, and on as far as Bude. The north coast also has several Cornish hotspots for food. Rick Stein's restaurants have put Padstow and its sheltered harbour firmly on the map, whilst Jamie Oliver has brought an innovative menu to the spectacular beach at Watergate Bay.
The exposed coastline of north Cornwall has a wilder landscape with extreme topography such as the highest sheer-drop cliff in Cornwall between Boscastle and St Gennys. From the clifftops and coastal walks of Boscastle, to fishing villages like Port Isaac and then the wide flat expanses of the Hayle Estuary, there are holiday cottages in north Cornwall to suit all.
