JOBS Act Expanding, SEC Relaxing: New Business & More Work for a Criminal Attorney?
Since the financial recession began, banks are not lending money easily . . . at least to "startup" business owners or entrepreneurs. A lot of economists and observers are remarking that the U.S. economy often seems in flux . . . and it rides like a twisty rollercoaster even when (quote/unquote) "stable".
Given this current climate, the "Whoa-ho!" of the economy, on April 5, 2012 President Barrack Obama signed the JOBS Act, an enacted effort to stabilize it. A certain number of regulatory barriers were removed. Important features include:
– Creation of a new class of public companies – emerging growth companies, making it easier to gain access to the market, to capital, by cutting the cost of going public – a "win" for small- and medium-sized ventures.
– A path of less restrictions – for these "pioneers" once exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration – to go public by increasing their offering entrance from $5 million to $50 million.
– Raising shareholder threshold – a mandatory registration with the SEC – from 500 to 1,000 shareholders . . . and, again, allowing for easier creation of capital gain in the private sector.
– The removal of SEC restrictions – which previously had prevented "overfunding" (a somewhat new financing technique whereby equity is generated from a pool of small investors not accredited with the SEC).
By increasing the number of stockholders and by lubricating the way new ventures create capital through private fund raising, the JOBS Act means to stimulate business growth. Relaxing decades-long SEC restrictions, the JOBS Act hopes to cut a trail – encouraging startups to become active, to stabilize the U.S. market and provide (or implement) steady and predictable economic growth.
The JOBS Act envisions millions of potentially thriving business owners, many more "John Doe" investors, and a possible bright future of jobs. It seems like a "win-win" for a shaky economy – by bringing ordinary investors and small businesses on to the same page.
But a serious pitfall of this new "Westward Ho!" spirit may just be that – the easing of SEC restrictions. While the JOBS Act promises a hopeful future, it also may open the door to a "Wild West" gold rush of increased securities fraud, insider trading, Ponzi schemes, and other federal criminal financial activity.
Paging federal criminal defense attorneys: This seems ripe regarding possible future litigation and federal criminal actions.
Since the present financial crisis began, with SEC restrictions in place, the Department of Justice (DOJ) primarily focused its efforts on the pursuit of large-scale financial matters. Major financial institutions were a point of focus – federal investigations into Citigroup, Inc., Bank of America Corp., Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, for example -smelling "big money" = "big problems".
Now, with these SEC restrictions eased, and with the SEC itself seemingly hamstrung by the JOBS Act, it appears the DOJ is redoubling its efforts to pursue financial wrongdoers – individual or organization. Potentially, the JOBS Act will provide a broader canvas for players engaging in financial misconduct – and for those out to stop wrongdoing.
As a result, the DOJ has increased its reliance on the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), a law with broad reach. FIRREA authorizes the Attorney General to initiate civil actions and to seek civil monetary penalties against perpetrators violating criminal statutes regarding financial institutions (and with the JOBS Act, this possibly would include smaller businesses having activity with these federal financial institutions).
FIRREA became law in 1989, with the aftershock of the savings and loan disaster of the 1980s. Congress originally intended it as a deterrent to fraudulent activity and as a protection for federally-insured financial organizations. But a provision also allowed the DOJ, together with the FBI and other federal agencies, to conduct criminal investigations regarding alleged financial misconduct and to initiate civil actions.
As said, FIRREA has a broad reach and impact. It includes:
– Mail and wire fraud
– False statements to the government
– Receiving commissions or gifts for procuring loans
– False claims
– False statements in order to influence federal finance agencies or programs
– False statements or documents to the FDIC
– Bank fraud
Importantly, to be successful at trial, to recover financial restitution, FIRREA empowers the DOJ only to prove its case by a preponderance of evidence – not necessarily by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
It is a powerful weapon – and so far, has been too potent a force up for many a criminal defense. Often a criminal defense is stymied by the sheer weight of FIRREA. But, to note, some defenses have worked.
And a good part of the reason for the DOJ's current success is FIRREA's lower burden of proof when prosecuting alleged financial misconduct. This flexibility – a less severe test of evidence, instead being more reliant on the positive weight or volume it – gives the DOJ and other federal agencies greater impact in a prosecution.
If so, the DOJ just may pick up the stack of chips from the SEC, and it just may be the perfect bet against the possible negative aspect of the "wide open" JOB Acts enactment.
And, as well, it just may be the JOBS Act is the "cavalry to the rescue" for all business pioneers, entrepreneurs and individual investors. The future is made by seekers. The future is wide open. . . .

This silk velvet cap was once said to have been lost by a British officer of the 32nd Foot at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. But even that was a little off: Rhode Island History published an article by Anne S. K. Brown in 1953 citing the work of Captain Cecil C. P. Lawson, an authority on British Army uniforms, and the article made clear that it was the 35th Foot.
Even so, the cap lacked the markers of standard British Army caps, despite the Royal Cipher: there were flags, but no white Horse of Hanover. And picked up from the field at Bunker Hill? That's not the story the cap came to us with when it was presented by Horatio Gates Bowen, physician and librarian of Brown University. In the 1833 accession book with his name is the description, "An old Grenadier's cap, of a British Officer."
Henry Cooke IV of Historic Costume Services examined the cap recently and thought that the "miter cap pre-dates the Royal Order of 1747 and the Royal Warrant of 1752 that codified the appearance of these caps to include the white Horse of Hanover on the flap. Also the lower height of the front panel seems consistent with what we can see of some of the early grenadier caps, especially those of the militia and those of Provincial origin."
Now there are new questions: How did Horatio Gates come to have this cap? Is it British Army, or Provincial, in origin? Mr. Cooke believes that if it were of Rhode Island [Provincial] origin, it would have a fouled anchor worked into the design; that has been the official seal since the time of Benedict Arnold.
Also on display tonight will be the Providence Grenadier's Cap, circa 1774. This provincial unit with the bold motto, "Hope and Our Rights" received its charter in 1774; the provincial anchor symbol is prominently painted between the unit's initials, and the front turn up is decorated with a grinning lion and a flaming bomb. The cap is clearly less skillfully and artfully made than the British cap, and tonight, all their contrasts will be on display for this month's Brief Encounter.

A Cranebrook mother busted high-range drink driving with four kids in the car has dodged jail time.
Lisa Caroline Johnson, 34, faced Penrith Local Court yesterday to be sentenced for the offence after blowing more than four times over the legal limit earlier this year.
The court heard authorities were alerted to the mother-of-seven's severe intoxication after a worried principal saw her picking her children up from school.
"The principal of the school was so concerned when she presented to collect the four kids that he's rung police," Magistrate Stephen Corry said.
Johnson, who was pulled over just outside her Goldmark Crescent home on March 8 and subsequently blew 0.212, was found to be extremely unsteady on her feet, swaying and losing her balance several times.
"You were not only a danger to others, but your own kids," an incredulous Magistrate Corry said.
"Your alcohol intake only started in 2013, but it's clearly got out of control."
The court heard Johnson had an otherwise good traffic record with no prior infringements, but Magistrate Corry pointed out she had only held a licence since 2014.
"For your own sake and the sake of her kids, you need to get your drinking under control," he said, acknowledging she had at least made attempts since the incident to address "what's clearly a serious alcohol problem".
"If you don't, it will be done for you," he warned, issuing an ultimatum.
"I want to, Your Honour," a tearful Johnson replied.
She was convicted, handed an 18-month Section 9 good behaviour bond, barred from driving for nine months and ordered to attach a breathalyser interlock device to her car for 24 months following completion of her suspension.
As part of her bond, she is to accept Community Correction's supervision, including any direction to attend detox or residential rehabilitation.

Melon de Bourgogne, or simply Melon, is a white grape from the Loire Valley famous for one thing: Muscadet. As its name indicates, its origin was Burgundy (although it was outlawed there in the 16th century), but it had by then travelled as far as Anjou and then west into Muscadet. It is thought that Melon was initially planted in Muscadet by Dutch traders who wanted to use it to make brandewijn. It was the dominant grape variety in the Atlantic area of the Loire by the 17th century, and its resistance to cold helped it survive an extremely frozen winter in 1709, which killed off most local red grape varieties. King Louis XIV is said to have ordered all post-freeze plantings to be with Muscadent Blanc, thought to be another name for Melon de Bourgogne. There were around 13,000 hectares of Melon de Bourgogne by 2000.
Muscadet is always produced as a varietal wine, and has more recently seen a resurgence following an increased take-up of techniques such as extended lees contact and maceration. The best Muscadets today are crisp and slightly salty, and pair excellently with shellfish, especially oysters.

In this week's edition of This Week in Disney History, we will explore some of the milestones from April 24th-April 30th that helped shape and form the Walt Disney Company as it exists today.
This Week in Disney History: April 24th-April 30th
- On April 24th, 2009, Disney Imagineering Legend Marty Sklar, wrote a letter saying he would step down from being an imagineer on July 17, 2009. Marty first became a cast member 61 years ago.
- On April 25th, 2003, the 10th annual Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival kicked off at Epcot.
- On April 26th, 2009, Michael Eisner made the top CEO on Forbes' list of worst CEOS in America.
- On April 27th, 2002, Disney's The Lion King on Broadway kicked off their national tour by performing in Denver, Colorado.
- On April 28th, 1997, the restaurant inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom was officially renamed Cinderella's Royal Table. Previously, it had been called King Stefan's Banquet Hall, a fascinating fact is that King Stefan was actually the father of Sleeping Beauty.
- On April 29th, 2007, Disney Channel was officially launched in Turkey. The channel is on the DIGITURK platform.
- Lastly on April 30th, 1952, the very first toy ever to be advertised on national television was portrayed to kids all across America. What was that toy? Well, it was the one and only Mr. Potato Head. Mr. Potato head was invented by George Lerner in 1949 but later the rights were sold to Henry and Merrill Hassenfeld in 1951 to produce and ship across the nation. Interesting fact about Henry and Merrill is that they themselves actually founded and created the toy company Hasbro which was founded in 1923.
I hope you have enjoyed this week's edition of This Week in Disney History. If you have enjoyed this, stay tuned for next week's edition.

Fools & Heroes is a long running British Larp. In fact it is one of the longest running larps in the UK. It dates back to 1986! For a UK game it also has an unusual structure. Its federated into 21 branches. Making it a very easy game to find. You are never that far from a Fools & Heroes game.
Each branch also organises their own events. In the UK there is almost always someone playing Fools & Heroes on a weekend.
Fools & Heroes has two major national events. Springfest (at the start of May) and Sumerfest (at the end of August).
John Harding went to Springfest and recorded these videos for us. We get great insight into his journey and the game itself
Springfest Part 1: The Journey
Not all trips to a larp are straightforward. This one looks like an adventure that tested patience and endurance. I'd like to put forward the idea that the journey is important. A good trip helps us transition in and out the game. Although this one looks more like a test of the soul.
Springfest Part 2: The Event
Now we get to learn about and see Springfest. Starting with a look at his camping arrangements before moving on to the game itself. This video is part heartfelt diary and part a peek at the Springfest game play itself.
Thanks to John Harding
We'd like to thank John for creating these. [You can see more of his larp videos if you click here. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em00RKc_5aw&

ACO with tabu search on a GPU for solving QAPs using move-cost adjusted thread assignment
Hannan University, Osaka, Japan
Proceedings of the 13th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, GECCO '11, 2011
title={ACO with Tabu Search on a GPU for Solving QAPs using Move-Cost Adjusted Thread Assignment},
author={Tsutsui, S. and Fujimoto, N.},
Download (PDF) View Source
This paper proposes a parallel ant colony optimization (ACO) for solving quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) on a graphics processing unit (GPU) by combining tabu (TS) with ACO in CUDA (ompute unified device architecture). In TS for QAP, all neighbor moves are tested. These moves form two groups based on computing of move cost. In one group, the computing of cost is O(1) and in the other group, the computing of move cost is O(n). We compute these two groups of moves in parallel by assigning the computations to threads of CUDA. In this assignment, we propose an efficient method which we call Move-Cost Adjusted Thread Assignment (MATA). The results with GPU computation with MATA show a promising speedup compared to computation with the CPU. It is also shown that MATA is effective in applying 2-opt local search.

Dream Dive Platform on Bobs Lake
Your environment can shape the way you think. Whether you're a child or an adult, spaces can engage your imagination, broaden your mind and excite your spirit. This dreaming platform was a collaborative weekend project at the family cottage. The screened in hut is the new favourite spot for star gazing on beautiful summer nights and the cantilevered diving platform replaces the need for coffee in the morning!
The dreaming platform is constructed of salvaged materials from under the deck, supplemented with 2×4's from the local hardware store. The basic form is a result of available materials and tools. The structure is stripped down to its essentials to support two elemental functions, sleeping and play. A simple waxed canvas is unrolled over the hut for when the weather gets gnarly!

text: Seniors Keeley Jones and Brooke Hines, along with the rest of the Mena Ladycats came out strong against the Malvern Lady Leopards. Coach Scott Wright said, "We played hard, but we couldn't get shots to fall, which puts us under the gun. If we make shots we're in the game late." He was proud of the effort given by the Ladycats. They just couldn't get started and were down 20 to 10 at halftime. In the third quarter the Ladycats outscored the Leopards, but were still down 28 to 19. Malvern ended up winning the game 43 to 26. Grace Wagner scored 8 points and Reagan Sikes scored 6 points. They were great contributions for the Ladycats, not only in this game but also this season. Keeley Jones was the point guard for the Ladycats this season leading the plays every game. Brooke Hines was the leading scorer for the season. Although the Ladycats did not have the greatest record, they played with a lot of heart giving their all everyday in practice and in games.

text: This week, the Chinese government has issued a series of stringent rules requiring local officials to report epidemic outbreaks to Beijing immediately or face dismissal or even criminal charges. China has been widely condemned around the world for its ruinous efforts of an initial cover-up of the deadly infectious disease of SARS. However, Cai Yongmei, an editor with Hong Kong's Open monthly, said the publication with fanfare of the new rules this week is only a charade, and the violation of people's right to know, which has been a major cause of the runaway spread of the SARS epidemic, is to be continued. "Look at the veteran army surgeon Jiang Yanyong, who courageously revealed the cover-up in Beijing in early April," Cai said. "Jiang is a real hero in China's fight against SARS. And yet he has since been treated in the Chinese media as a pariah. He laid bare the official lies and misinformation, and thus committed a crime in the official eye."

September 16, 2015
Next September 24th will be held for first time the Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) International Day. "With the aim of increasing public awareness about this very rare disease, several activities, such as the recording of a commemorative video showing the reality of this pathology, will take place around the world" states Francisco Monfort, president of Spanish Association for aHUS (ASHUA). Spanish collective, who promoted the creation of aHUS Alliance, will be one of the coordinator in this international day.
aHUS is a disease which mainly affects to kidneys, although it also can damage other organs, such as brain, livers, lungs, heart or gastrointestinal system. This pathology derives from an improper activation or over-activation of the complement system, leading to immune system failure. Its incidence is 2 cases/million habitants.
A fast diagnosis is decisive in order to begin with the proper treatment and prevent from serious complications, such as ictus, renal failure, heart attack or even, death of the patient. It is estimated that around 10% patients dies in the first year from the moment of diagnosis. However, aHUS is one of the few ultra rare diseases with an efficient treatment (eculizumab, Soliris), which can avoid most of complications.
Since its creation, one of the main objectives of ASHUA has been to connect patients affected by this syndrome with health professionals and researchers in the field in order to improve the efficiency in treatments and to reduce the time required until final diagnosis is reached. In this context, Francisco Monfort declared in the last aHUS Alliance meeting held in London that "Spanish medicine is at the forefront of research and knowledge of the syndrome, as well as tailoring new drugs for patients. This situation derives from all the efforts invested by every member of the patient collective and dedication of the outstanding health professionals and researches, helping and taking care of us by improving treatments, avoiding transplants and saving lives".

Session Information
Date: Sunday, November 8, 2015
Session Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis - Human Etiology and Pathogenesis Poster I
Session Type: ACR Poster Session A
Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM
Background/Purpose: Adipokines are cytokines/hormones primarily synthesized in white
adipose tissue. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), some adipokines
have been associated with worse outcomes (1-3). The aim of this study was to
determine whether adipokine or insulin-like growth
factor 1 (IGF-1) serum measurement at baseline (BL) could predict future
disease activity and radiographic outcomes in patients with early RA.
Methods: Serum levels of adiponectin, leptin, IGF-1, and resistin
at RA diagnosis were analyzed in 330 patients enrolled in the Swedish
pharmacotherapy (SWEFOT) trial (207 with Body Mass Index (BMI)). All patients received
methotrexate (MTX) for 3 months. Thereafter, responders (DAS28≤3.2)
remained on MTX, while non-responders were randomized to triple therapy (MTX+sulfasalazine+hydroxychloroquine) or anti-TNF add-on (MTX+infliximab). The biomarker levels were divided into tertiles for further analyses, after adjustment for known
level differences to due sex (adiponectin and leptin) and age (IGF-1 SD score).
Disease activity (DAS28) and radiographic damage (Sharp-van der Heijde Score, SHS) were evaluated over 24 months.
Results: Adiponectin and leptin levels – but not IGF-1 or resistin
– were inversely and directly proportional, respectively, to BMI, which was
associated with worse DAS28 over 24 months. Disease activity did not differ
between tertile groups of leptin at BL (diagnosis),
but patients with high BL leptin had significantly higher DAS28 at 24 months
(Figure A). On the other hand, among initial MTX responders, high/moderate
(n=54) vs. low BL leptin (n=27) was associated with less rapid radiographic
progression from BL-12 months (DSHS≥5, 7.4% vs. 29.6%, p=0.036).
Disease activity did not differ significantly between adiponectin groups, however, they were directly proportional to BL SHS
with a numerical trend over time (Figure B).
Patients with low BL IGF-1 had higher DAS28 up until 3
months, but it was not significant thereafter (Figure C). In addition, more
radiographic progressors were observed between those
with low vs. high IGF-1 among initial MTX responders (BL-12 months, n=19 vs.
31, respectively: DSHS≥1, 68.4% vs. 32.3%, p=0.013; BL-24 months,
n=21 vs. 32: 81.0% vs. 50.0%, p=0.023). For resistin,
there were more progressors among those with high BL
levels among triple therapy-treated patients (Figure D), which was not observed
among the anti-TNF or MTX responder groups.
Conclusion: Differences in certain adipokines
and IGF-1 were associated with clinical and radiographic outcomes within
specific treatment groups. Thus, they may be useful predictors and may give insight
into pathogenic mechanisms influencing RA outcomes such as high BMI and disease

Kristen Wiig certainly refuses to be pigeonholed as just a comedic actress. Though she will be returning to comedy in Ghostbusters, she's recently been involved in a number of more dramatic roles like The Diary of a Teenage Girl, and the inexplicable Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption with Will Ferrell. Though dabbling in some avant garde satire (IFC's The Spoils Before Dying) as well as sci-fi with Ridley Scott's The Martian, Wiig has also found time to make a pitstop in the indie drama Nasty Baby.
The film premiered at Sundance, and then has seemingly faded away. But, in anticipation of its overseas release, we're getting our first international trailer. And it's … odd.
Written, directed by, and starring Sebastian Silva, the movie follows,
A gay couple try to have a baby with the help of their best friend, Polly. The trio navigates the idea of creating life while confronted by unexpected harassment from a neighborhood man called The Bishop. As their clashes grow increasingly aggressive, odds are someone is getting hurt.
The Bishop part is the oddity, as you'll see. The movie also stars Tunde Adebimpe, Reg E. Cathey, and Alia Shawkat. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think of the weird twist. The movie will be released in the U.S. by The Orchard October 23rd, and on VOD October 30th.

Samsung announced today that they are officially launching their first Z-SSD product, the SZ985. The Z-SSD uses Samsung's Z-NAND memory, a high-performance derivative of their 3D NAND flash memory and Samsung's intended competition for Intel's 3D XPoint memory. The SZ985 is a high-performance, high-endurance enterprise NVMe SSD. Samsung has been talking about Z-NAND and the SZ985 for quite a while, including showing off prototypes at several trade shows and conferences. Their initial announcement in 2016 of Z-NAND memory and Z-SSD drives promised 1TB drives in 2016 to be followed by 2TB and 4TB drives in 2017. Today's launch of 800GB and 240GB models is far behind that initial timeline, but the Z-SSD is finally ready for broad release, almost a year after Intel's Optane products...

If you notice your water pressure or temperature fluctuating, you may need a Gas Line Upgrade.
Gas pipework can be incredibly dangerous if they're outdated or faulty, and to put it simply, they can't handle the increased load of our modern heating, cooling, & hot water needs.
If you notice any of the following, it is definitely time to call Immerge for your upgrade!
- smell of gas
- appliances losing pressure
- appliance fluctuating in temperature
- visible rust (in galvanized pipe)
- visible cracks (in plastic)
People today have larger homes with more gas usage. These appliances generally require a larger flow rate - copper gas lines are designed to handle this significant load and more.
800.00 ex. GST
1100.00 ex. GST
1500.00 ex. GST
Galvanized pipes were installed in many Victorian homes in decades gone by; unfortunately the majority are now significantly corroded and causing damage to the home.
Galvanized pipework is more susceptible to rust, lead sedimentation, leaks, and also discoloration & changed taste of water.
They can also lead to burst pipes & water pressure issues.
Copper pipes are significantly less likely to experience any rust or corrosion in their lifetime.
Copper pipework allows for larger flow rates for modern appliances, meaning the pressure in your home should never fluctuate.

Coffee. A word we respond to with love and affection. Be it a treat, wake up call, winter warmer or necessity, the majority of Melbourne folk beam at the thought, smell and taste. Coffee and, well, caffeine is as much a part of Melbourne culture as is the booming popularity around health/wellness within the food industry.
Now, thanks to almond milk, latte lovers who have ditched the cow and are apprehensive about soy milk can avoid the struggle and indulge in some creamy coffee once again. Hurrah!
We are talking almond milk and almond milk lattes – the new movement in café and health culture. Much like any health food trend, though, some nut milk coffees can be a little hit and miss when it comes to taste and quality. To help you on your dairy-free path, we've sipped our way around Melbourne to bring you Melbourne's best almond milk lattes.
Monk Bodhi Dharma | Balaclava
The tinnie tiny brick walled hide-away, Monk Bodhi Dharma, is a haven for veggos and those seeking a little soul food. The baristas know their beans and let's just say when teamed with their roasted-in-house coffee, the house made nut mylk is the business. To quote Will.I.Am, the texture, flavour and quality is 'super-duper dope!' Made with love and not in the largest quantities, if you get hooked be prepared to miss the boat some days due to its popularity. The milk tastes creamy but pure and uncomplicated. Chow down on your vegan apple pancakes or raw berry granola and sit in a blissfulness of cruelty free, quality creamy, creations. Try the vegan carrot cake alongside your organic almond latte for the ultimate 'om'.
The Little Ox | Brighton
One of the lads from The Little Ox, Cameron Earl, is the creator of Almond Milk Co Melbourne. What he originally set up as a little bit of fun has now turned into a popular business among the Melbourne café scene. Almond Milk Co complements the already delicious fair-trade red star coffee that's the new rock star in health-food town. Word has spread and the demand is gaining momentum to stock the raw, natural, gluten and sugar free almond milk. It really works, as far as texture goes, in coffee. Despite tasting velvety and delicious, it does not dilute to an unpleasant watery, dark drink that leaves little to pleasure the taste buds. Quite the contrary – it is as creamy as soy milk, retains its nutty flavour when heated and goes down a treat, more so with a treat too! If you are taking away from The Little Ox, hang out near the display window of treats and we guarantee you will walk away with a companion for your coffee. Almond Milk Co Melbourne can also be bought in bottles from selected cafes or The Staple Store in Ripponlea.
Little Big Sugar Salt | Abbotsford
On trend and on point, Little Big Sugar Salt upped the health food ante on their menu, recently adding more vegan and gluten free options like the Rainbow roots salad. Add to that their house made cold pressed nut milks and you have goodness that leaves you feeling just that! You can buy their almond milk in bottles and enjoy cold, or request a warm cup of love to have or to go. The nut milk is quite sweet and definitely hits the spot. The staff are a super friendly bunch who think of everything really – from quirky personal take away cups set to make you smile, to the #selfiestation. Right here right now, the only thing better than a flat white is almond milk flat white. Get around it!
Tall Timber | Prahran
We told you the new kids on the block were finding their way around – Almond Milk Co is also stocked at Prahran's local favourite, Tall Timber. It was worth another mention due to the fact the coffee here is ranked right up there on our list; to give extra love to your caffeine hit, opt for the almond milk blend instead of cow. Go on! Vegan friends – the fig/cacao muesli can be enjoyed with almond milk now, too. Almond Milk Co is sweetened with dates, so no added sugar is all up in your grill.
Patch Cafe | Richmond
Recently opened Patch paleo cafe provides a generous menu for the paleo community and the more health conscious crew. Patch offers almond milk as well as its nutty friend, the coconut. Ex AFL footballer, PT and fit food fan Tom Davidson opened Melbourne's first paleo eatery with the intention to have fun with food in a relaxed atmosphere. So perch yourself and indulge in a little patch of paleolithic goodness. If you are unfamiliar with paleo or wondering what we are talking about, it is basically a hunter-gatherer style diet ditching grains and dairy and sticking to natural foods untouched by humans. Coffee at Patch comes direct from Code Black, Brunswick. The nut milks are fresh, free from preservatives and good for you. Win, win.
Melbourne Street Organics | Malvern
Melbourne Street Organics is a must visit for health foodies who love to Instagram a tasty raw dessert! They offer light meals, salads, raw vegan treats and take home meals, and yes you guessed it – organic homemade almond milk. They are rather nuts about it all really, offering other alternatives including activated cashew milk with walnut and hazelnut milks on rotation. You know you are getting the real healthy deal when it is coming from an organic wholefood café passionate about chemical-free sustainable produce. The organic nut milks are all fresh-pressed on site every day and it would be rude not to accompany a winter warmer latte with a treat. Go for the raw vegan caramel slice; really go for it!
Combi | Elwood
If you are a fan of chia seeds, acai and superfood smoothies over brunch, chances are you have heard of or visited Combi by now. Located in Ormond Rd Elwood, the partnership in love and in business, Penny and Anthony, opened their doors only recently with an over flow of gratitude and welcome for the community. Finding a table or chair is a challenge but once you do you are in for a treat. The chia party and other sexy smoothies are made using their house made almond mylk. True to form, their milk is organically made, fresh daily using filtered water, a nut bag and organic almonds – literally free of ANYTHING else. Add that to their organic Fairtrade coffee and you have nut milk lattes good for your soul and your stamina.
Pressed Juices | Various locations
Switching it up a little, if you a looking for a 'cold one', the Pressed Juices Espresso almond milk is a perfect post hot yoga pick me up or on-the-go energizer. Sweetened with cinnamon and dates, it is moreish and well…freakin' delicious! At $9 a pop, we suggest making it a now and then treat as the taste that hits your lips will be oh-so-addictive. Cold pressed and with a life span that does not exceed two days, you need to drink this guy quick…but we feel you will have no issues here. Nom!

Anybody put a boat on the lake today? I know the camp grounds are closed but can you still launch at the ramp?
Anybody put a boat on the lake today? I know the camp grounds are closed but can you still launch at the ramp?
Just got off the phone with Parris Lake. They are open for hiking, biking, horse riding, shore fishing, AND...
Yes BOAT LAUNCH! 06:00 - 20:00! They said that in the event that they had to close they would immediately update their web page as well as Face Book, and most importantly for me (As I do not do Social Media, with the exception of FNN) they said that as long as you are hearing the recording stating they are open, then they are OPEN!
Their Number is ***951-940-5600***... That is the Number for Parris
Silverwood front gate ***760-389-2303*** (Just called and they said yes boats are currently allowed to Launch)
Fish on my fellow anglers and fight the depression that lurks within all of us... With the good weather on tap for this upcoming week I an hoping for the lake to simply take off!!! Silverwood is usually 1 to 2 weeks behind Parris to my understanding...
Hey Daug, went out to silverwood today only caught two at the buoy line then the wind came in tried other spots but the wind was tough. Did not see much caught at the line when I was there but maybe others did better but we will never know cause they don't post anything on here only read for info.
Hope you did better at perris if you went.
Yup We are the few that post. I think that for many, they do not get the opportunity to fish so they just read the posts. That is the main reason that I post so prolifically. Went to parris today, from 06:00 to 17:00 the water temp went from 57 to 63! Was a very slow day, pounded it out for 11 hours with only 2 solid bites. 1 landed and the other broke me off. Juan had several bites and landed 1. Everyone I talked to had 3 and 4 fish days, so I am grateful that I didn't end up with the dreaded goose egg. Keep posting I like to read posts as well. I was thinking hard and long about going out tomorrow but the weather forecast is looking just miserable. Gonna save the fuel for next week. Keep me posted by way of PM on the conditions out there. Juan wants to hit the strips, and I want to be at Parris when the bite takes off. Where ever the bite is best is where we will end up going. I would like to store up 20 or 30 strips for smoking. My smoked fish is hands down better than you can get at fisherman's landing in Point Loma San Diego. Of coarse you wont know till you try it, so if you want to contribute some fish I will smoke like 30 or 40 at a time. The fish swim in a marinade of 3 days in my commercial fridge and then go into a smokey SAUNA for 3 to 4 hours!
I smoke them skin on... PS if you want me to smoke yours let me know!
