He's beaten:Swansea HHuddersfield HCrystal Palace HLeicester HNewcastle AI refuse to believe he was the only manager capable of doing that for us.
Yeah dont get me wrong I agree. But portraying him as a disaster here is unfair given the facts show weve improved. Albeit from a very low place and nowhere near enough.
I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth
Pre-Sam: 14 games, 15 points. 1.07 points per game. Post-Sam: 13 games, 19 points. 1.46 points per game. Thats a 36% improvement. Im no fan, and hes no long term solution for me, but think a lot of the spewing bile and hatred in here is over the top.
I don't think anyone has said he's a disaster tbf.He has just given us exactly what we expected we'd get from him.
People have absolutely refused to give him a chance. Even at the beginning when we were getting good results people were openingly admitting they were waiting for the results to turn so they could lay into him. Them were the people claiming to be giving him a chance too We haven't been great under him but then we haven't been great for a long while. People making out he's damaged us while you point out we are averaging more under him. Others wanting to give unsworth the credit It's ridiculous. By all means people can refuse to be open to him but claiming they are/were open while everything else they state show they weren't/aren't is just daft He's done an okay job
Issue is, for me, is that outside of the tough games Koeman got 7 points from 4 games. We got beat, badly some times, in the tough games and that got him sacked. Weve done broadly similar since so its hardly cause for celebration.
Hes doing the very bare minimum required no more .. .its the shit he spouts about players that i hate him for .Not to mention the horrible shithouse tactics that got us stung by a few teams ...and bullshit like the whole first signing nonsense ...He's just not and never will be Everton as far as I'm concearned. And once gone to fuck will be very quickly forgotten...and not missed.
Not Everton. Was Martinezs bullshit Everton? Was koemans indifference?You admit you won't ever give him a reasonable chance. That's the issue with him so far. Not the actual performances or results or what he says. It's that people didn't want him in the first place
Is that so wrong though?
Not Everton. Was Martinezs bullshit Everton? Was koemans indifference?You admit you won't ever give him a reasonable chance. That's the issue with him so far. Not the actual performances or results or what he says. It's that people didn't want him in the first place
No his berating players to the press and the shithouse tactics since he came have steered me that way tbh.. I was willing to give him a chance I said here countless times unyil ...Wba Bournmouth games ....then his true colours shone through last week was his last rights no manager(or kid playing fifa) changes that many players from a winning sideMartinez tried and failed but knew what everton wanted and only for Koemans huge ego he couldve done well ...but he knew best. You can by all means bang the drum for him ..good luck with that .

"Enter to Grow in Wisdom. Depart to serve better thy country and mankind."
Inscription on the 1890 Gate to Harvard Yard
Nowhere, it can be argued, that the spirit of nation-building and brotherhood is stronger than in the communities around Boston. Paul Revere's historic ride, the shot heard round the world, the Boston Tea Party all comes to mind within a single ripple-wave of that town. Citizen soldiers believed the greater good outweighed personal gain. That spirit is as alive today as it was in Revolutionary Times. In 1977, Jonathan Rotenberg founded the Boston Computer Society that "…grew to become the largest personal computer user organization in the world—with over 30,000 members in all 50 states and 40 countries".[1] Although that founding organization is no longer, many user groups keep the spirit of Volunteerism alive today. I attended an outreach function of the Boston Linux/Unix (BLU.org) user group—their InstallFest XLVI recently where, early one Saturday morning, a simple chalk board lecture hall was transformed into a computer lab with wired and wireless connectivity to the Internet. Seven volunteer members descended on the scene with carts of computers, cabling, networking hardware, software, etc., all with the intention to help anyone who walked in the front door with their Installation of GNU/Linux Operating System on their personal computer. For a modest donation a technical expert well-versed in their field will sit down and install an elegant, powerful and nearly virus-proof GNU/Linux Operating System, configure it to your computer so that you lose nothing and send you on your way
Jill and Bob Miller in nearby Natick, Massachusetts offer free computer instruction every month at the Natick Senior Center to anyone, regardless of age. Free Instruction on the GNU/Ubuntu distribution of Linux along with a free suite of LibreOffice Suite software (LibreOffice Suite is fully compatible with Microsoft Office). The Boston Network Users Group (BNUG.org) user group offer monthly stimulating interactive lecture on computer security and how to keep your network free from intrusion are but a handful of the volunteerism activities all within that ripple of Boston.
You Can Get There From Here…
Norfolk Community Television's production of 'On Your Computer' attempts to capture that spirit of volunteerism and incorporate it with instruction for the novice and direct those well-versed with that medium to user groups where their thirst for added knowledge can be quenched. In its 30-minute show format viewers in Shows 1 thru 4 are informed how to use, how it applies to the real-world and are given a sense of perspective for what is happening in the computer driven world beyond. In the shows moving forward it keeps the novice in mind with 8-minutes of what you should know (as a responsible computer user) on your desktop while the remaining two 8-minute segments are devoted to extending their knowledge (password protection schemes, social media caveats, virtualization, high performance computing, artificial intelligence, to name a few of the topics it will explore). Utilizing guest speakers the volunteer staff at NCTV will bring snippets of these topics together into our show with linkages to join the discussion or a suggested visit to this user group. The 'On Your Computer' show will assist you to get there from here!
One might question the disparity between volunteerism in times of war and that of the user group phenomenon. The message here is not the circumstance but the individual stepping forward to say, "If I do this then we will all be a little better for it!"

It turned out shortly before Christmas 2013 when the Swiss Football Association (SFV) announced that Vladimir Petkovic would control you from Ottmar Hitzfeld with the helm on the senior national team following 2014 FIFA World Cup?. And with Switzerland having qualified for the last two World Cup final tournaments and also made the Round of 16 in Brazil, Petkovic certainly has big shoes to fill.
Petkovic, who may have previously had spells inside dugout at AC Bellinzona, BSC Young Boys, Samsunspor and Lazio, and others, began his tenure as Switzerland head coach in September, at the beginning of the united states's UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying campaign. The 51-year-old former midfielder spoke to FIFA.com about his new role, the type within the team and their tough qualifying opponents.
If you are're on the Switzerland helm, could you inform us just what it's been want to follow inside the footsteps of Ottmar Hitzfeld, who stepped down as soon as the World Cup? Vladimir Petkovic: I'm proud to become here. It's a fantastic honour for me to succeed a manager as successful as Ottmar Hitzfeld. It's brilliant that i can develop the possibility to help this young group of players go ahead and take next step forward.
What had your brain when it had been confirmed choosing the new Switzerland head coach? You are doing, in the end, possess a special connection to the continent…I never might have thought it possible a few years ago. It's recognition that we've done a quality work throughout Switzerland. I've lived here since 1987, so I've spent more than half of gaming near you. I've stood a Swiss passport during the last 12 years and Personally i think Swiss. Being named coach with the national team would be a positive endorsement from the work I've done in that time.

Unusual garden service
Paul provides an unusual service - he knows what he's doing! He can identify and name most plants, especially the difference between weeds and perennials unlike several of his competitors in the area.
Added to that knowledge Paul and Radek provided a good service and created a very tidy garden in a few hours. Recommended.

text: Dave owns not 1 but 2 custom-built Carl Thompson (CT for short) guitars, both made from exotic dark cocobolo wood. Cocobolo is an especially hard-wood grown in the lush rainforests of Central America and I actually got to see a Cocobolo tree while hiking in Panama's protected Chagres National Park last year. My Panamanian guide explained that notable musicians like the dearly departed Jerry Garcia (The Grateful Dead) and existing Les Claypool (Primus) owned and own several highly-prized and expensive cocobolo guitars. Now, lead singer and bass player, Dave O'Connor of Starcode, can rightly take his place on that benchmark as well.Dave's guitars took 2 years to make, a typical wait time for custom-work by 68-year old master craftsman Carl Thompson. He lives in Brooklyn and truly does fashion a one-of-a-kind creation in-between playing and practicing jazz music of his own. CT basses incorporate the finest wood, the best craftsmanship, details never seen before and personal details that hadn't been used since the late 70's says the CT website. Even if you don't know how to play an instrument or recognize a Taylor from an Alvarez from a Gibson, the CT bass made of cocobolo will catch your attention instantly as will the sound.

Patience is a Virtue
I didn't end up getting all my medical information in until Mid January. Fortunately this wasn't such a big deal because Peace Corps was backed up and not reviewing volunteers' medical information until four months before their nominated departure time.
I've been cleared dentally, but have a few things Peace Corps wants me to send in before being cleared medically. Some of my blood test results weren't included in my packet, I have to redo one test and they also want me to have my doctor explain one of my past prescriptions. I will hopefully be able to fax it all in on Friday...hopefully! It depends if the lab finishes my test.
I seriously cannot wait to be finished with school and begin volunteering. I've been reading blog after blog, beginning to end, of current PCVs and getting more and more excited. I'm so so ready to get an assignment and go! I recently got back from spring break where I coordinated a volunteer trip for Gonzaga. It also just made me more excited and ready to begin volunteering for Peace Corps!
Gonzaga has a program called Mission Possible and sends out eight groups of student volunteers to eight different sites across the United States. My group went to Denver, CO. It was a great experience, I loved being a participant in Mississippi last year, but I loved coordinating this year even more. I thrive on a busy schedule and I love organizing, planning and running things :). I was up at 5am every morning and in bed, if I was lucky, around 11pm each night. My group members and I (17 total) each volunteered at least 50 hours during the week and I'm SO proud of everyone! My group was very young, mostly freshman and sophomores, and there was no complaining or whining! They all did a great job doing service work they hadn't experienced before. It was great to see students without that much service experience out of their comfort zone, they all really really impressed me, I feel like a proud mom!
We volunteered at the African Community Center (non profit refugee resettlement agency), Escuela de Guadalupe, Earth Links and the Denver Rescue Mission. We also volunteered at the church/school where we stayed by painting and cleaning up for them. It's located in an inner city Latino community so everyone also got some great cross cultural experience there. I was excited to get some Spanish practice in and we all also enjoyed and greatly appreciated incredible, generous hospitality from everyone, including a lot of delicious Mexican and El Salvadoran food. I met so many amazing people while volunteering and hope to keep in contact with them!
I also realized I would love working for a refugee resettlement agency or with refugees when I eventually am back in the states. I volunteer in Spokane with refugees and work one-on-one tutoring English and I love it. But, in Denver I got to teach a beginner English class with six students and it was much easier and more fun! My class consisted of Mana (Somalia), Letrufael (Eritrea), Graciela (Mexico), Nara (Bhutan), Ali Swe and Sa Le (Burma).
One of my favorite parts of the week was when I pulled a world map off the wall and did an English lesson using it. Everyone was excited to see their country on the map and we each got to learn more about each other. How many years they lived there, what other countries they had been to or lived in, how many siblings or children we all had and where they lived, etc. It was a GREAT way to practice English as well because it's a subject everyone was excited about. When I pointed out Mexico for Graciela, Mana said: "walk, walk, walk!" It was pretty funny, we all were laughing. The other students were shocked to see how close Graciela's home was and wondering why she just didn't walk back! Seeing how far from Denver their home country was made them proud as well, especially Nara. He kept pointing to Bhutan then to Denver, and measuring the distance. We also would point from one country to another showing how we all come from so far away from each other. Even me from the NW. It was just a great afternoon talk/lesson and I will always remember it!! I miss them so much already!! :)
Anyway, I will stop talking about Mission Possible, it's been all I've talked about this past week and I'm sure people are getting tired of it. Sorry! I really love the program and if I don't work with refugees, then I can see myself working for a University's community service program, creating and managing programs like Mission Possible. I'm a HUGE proponent, clearly. Anyway, I will let you know when I'm medically cleared for Peace Corps, I'll hopefully have an assignment quickly after that happens ! !
PS: The picture is of me and Mana :)

Women Don't Fear Power. Power Fears Women.
Reading about the abrupt firing of Jill Abramson, along with the resignation of Le Monde's Natalie Nougayrède, was like watching a ripple of misogyny move through the air in slow motion. Similar, in fact, to watching the slow, then fast, build to Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's removal from office. There's no way to examine these situations and ask, "Do women fear power and success?" Instead, the question is, "Why are powerful and successful women so feared?"
In their former positions, both Abramson and Nougayrède were notable firsts. Abramson was the first woman to head The New York Times as executive editor, and Nougayrède the first to be both editor-in-chief and director at French newspaper Le Monde. Both women, whose tenures have been prematurely cut short, are paying the price for our very gendered ideas about power and leadership. Because they are women with power, all Abramson and Nougayrède had to do in the morning to be disruptive was get out of bed.
They are counter-cultural, by definition. Both are experienced, accomplished, powerful, strong-willed, assertive, decisive and display–likeable or not–leadership qualities. Both were in the isolated position that most women with authority find themselves in. Both were navigating the high pressures of their professional lives while simultaneously challenging everyone's embedded notions of gendered behavior.
Women in leadership, the relatively scant few, learn to adapt to the double bind that necessitates them rejecting much of what they were taught to think and be as females. Most girls, even those with egalitarian-minded parents, learn to put others first, to defer to dominant male speech in the public sphere, to cede physical space to not be disruptive. These are not valued characteristics or behaviors in most competitive, male-dominated work places. Women who do transcend their gender socialization and exhibit confident authority are inevitably penalized.
It's in our imagery and in our language. The words we associate with power are "male"–assertive, authoritative, decisive. Women are scolds, nagging, shrill, difficult, opinionated, bossyugly, aggressive, temperamental, pushy and more. Oh, did I leave out brusque? Sorry.
Some people think that our "problems with women," power and status are an "historic remnant of gender discrimination." We aren't living with remnants, we're wrapped, bound and immobilized like mummies. The elimination of these two women from the paper-thin ranks of women in media leadership is a real loss.
When she was Prime Minister of Australia, Gillard came to international attention as the result of a speech she made excoriating another politician for his sexism and misogyny. The speech resulted in an actual change in the Macquarie Dictionary of the definition of the word "misogyny" from "hatred of women" to include "entrenched prejudice of women." No matter which definition you choose, and whether you locate the obstacles in explicit or implicit bias, the systemic exclusion of women from positions of power and leadership is a defining characteristic of misogyny.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

The autumn is absolutely my favorite time of the year. The kids are back in school - and now that the Boy is in first grade, that means full day. For the first time in twelve years, my days belong only to me. Yay! More time to write.
Except that I've just finished the edits on Windemere and considering the pressure that came with that book, I need a little bit of a break before beginning anything new. I've never written anything on as tight a deadline as that book and although I tend to write my best under pressure (my editor joked that I should write every book that way. I think I'd have a stroke if I did. :D) it's not something I care to repeat any time soon.
I should have some cover love to share fairly soon and of course, Musa's birthday coming up, there will be a blog hop and some prizes and all that. And with any luck, I'll have more good news to share. Keep your fingers crossed.
But back to autumn being my favorite time of the year. This past summer was so hot and so muggy and so god-awful, that this autumn is like a gift. I love being able to open the windows and let in the fresh air. Especially after a summer of AC. Don't get me wrong, I think the inventor of central air should be canonized, but there's something wonderful about fresh, cool crisp, fall air. I swap out my summer candles (Yankee Candle is my home away from home, I have a candle for every season) for the autumn ones (Spiced Pumpkin left from last autumn.)
In my house, the master bedroom is on the top floor, which means it's always the hottest room in the house. During the summer, the ceiling fan runs nonstop (shut off only when we go away) and even then, it's still only barely comfortable. But now, I actually need a blanket and there's nothing quite like waking up on a chilly Saturday morning and being able to snuggle under the cozy covers. :D
October is my favorite month - my son was born in October and, of course, Halloween is here, which marks the beginning of the Holiday season as far as I'm concerned. But October is also the same month we moved into our house (which I love) and when the leaves start to change, my backyard is just the most beautiful mosaic of reds, yellows, golds, and oranges.
Right now, I've got chili simmering in the crockpot (the kidlets are off from school for Rosh Hashanah) and that's another plus about the autumn. I love to cook and bake and this is the perfect time of the year for that. I baked an apple pie yesterday. So you can imagine how delish my house smells right about now. :D

Kevin and Amy met online. It was her last week of service and Kevin was just starting his. Amy was about to give up on the online dating scene and then saw Kevin's profile. She decided to reach out and they started talking pretty consistently; about camping, hiking, their dogs, and their love for the outdoors. When Amy told Kevin her subscription was about to end, they decided to go ahead and meet up for coffee.
Kevin set up a geocaching adventure for the two of them at Grayson Highlands State Park, where they had had their third date. They had camped and hiked there several times on different occasions, so it wasn't out of the norm. Amy ended up finding the geocache and inside the container was a picture and note asking her to marry him!

In response to the outbreak of meningitis elsewhere in the nation from a steroid drug compound manufactured by New England Compounding Center, the Food and Drug Administration is expected soon to release a complete list of all NECC customer hospitals, clinics and doctors nationwide who have purchased any drug from the company. That includes all products, not just the injectable medications in question.
Because Nantucket Cottage Hospital has been a customer of NECC for other drugs not associated with the meningococcal outbreak, hospital officials expect the local institution will be among the many hospitals nationwide listed as NECC customers.
Nantucket Cottage Hospital again reassures patients that it does not purchase or administer the specific steroid drug compound linked to this outbreak. �According to the FDA and the Massachusetts Department of Health, none of the methylprednisolone acetate injection drug in question was shipped to any of its customers in Massachusetts.
Nantucket Cottage Hospital has never purchased the methylprednisolone acetate injection�linked to the contamination nor has it ever purchased two additional injectable drugs from NECC that the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control have named as also possibly being linked to the outbreak. In accordance with guidelines issued by Mass DPH, the hospital has pulled all drugs purchased from NECC from its shelves.
For more information on the national outbreak related to NECC products shipped to other states, go to the CDC web page at: http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/outbreaks/meningitis.html
For more information on the NECC product recalls, go to the FDA web site at: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm322734.htm.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
FG: Welcome to this edition of Clockwork Conversations, now in our new location on my homepage here at Love Letters from Jupiter! I'm February Grace, your host and it's my pleasure to welcome today fantasy author LRW Lee to the blog!
Welcome! Please, tell us a little about yourself.
LRWL: In brief, I'm a wife, Mom, and imagineer who makes stuff up for a living. I love what I do and I know I'm fortunate to be able to write full time.
FG: During Clockwork Conversations, writers talk about all kinds of topics besides writing! So today I'd like to ask you a few questions I've selected just for you.
Question 1: What is the coolest place you've ever visited in your life?
LRWL: Oh, what an awesome question. I would have to say Hawaii where we swam with manta rays at night. These gentle giants (10-15 feet from tip to tip) feed on plankton which divers, standing at the bottom of a cove, attracted with floodlights. We floated at the top of the water as these giants flipped and turned, nearly touching us as they fed. It was unbelievable!
FG: Question 2: Is there a place that you would absolutely love to travel to?
LRWL: YES! I've always wanted to visit the UK and France. And come this Fall, I'm finally going! I'm so excited :)
FG: Question 3: When you're not reading or writing, how do you enjoy spending your free time?
LRWL: Is there anything else other than reading??? LOL! As of this month, my husband and I are officially empty nesters and we plan to travel a lot more than we have. As I mentioned, we've got a trip planned to the UK and France for the Fall. And we'll probably go to Hawaii again this Spring where we usually go to chill.
FG: Question 4: If you could meet any famous actor, actress, musician, or artist, past or present, who would you most enjoy meeting and why?
LRWL: I think it would have to be J. K. Rowling. She pretty much launched the reading revolution for so many kids/parents. She made the fantasy coming-of-age genre take off.
FG: Finally, the last bonus question I ask everyone: Do you collect anything? If so, what and why?
LRWL: I don't collect "stuff" but I do collect remembrances of impacting readers. A case in point, I recently received a completely unsolicited review from a fan who told me her story of having severe dyslexia. She said her mom got 4 books for her and told her she had to read one. She happened to have picked my first book, Blast of the Dragon's Fury. The storyline captured her attention and before she knew it, she'd finished it. She now calls herself an avid reader and she credits it to that first book... What's more though, she caught the themes of responsibility, diligence, and dignity that I weave throughout my writing and said she still thinks about those often. *be still my heart*
FG: That is awesome! Having such an impact on another person's life is truly a wonderful thing. Congratulations!
I wish you every success as you continue on with your writing. Thank you for being my guest today!

Draper Stripe Rug
• $450 for 8x10
• DwellStudio
When it comes to large, affordable black-and-white flatweave rugs, you really can't do any better than IKEA's Stockholm rand rug ($350). But when my local IKEA was sold out of the large size for months, I went looking for other budget options and came across this striped version from DwellStudio, available in 4 colors: ink, major brown, citrine, and persimmon (shown). I now have the ink version, and it suits me just fine!

I always get so excited whenever I go to Quezon City for a food trip as I'd always discover a gem waiting to be found. One of which is this Filipino restaurant with a name far from being thought of as an establishment that offers Pinoy favorites.
Hello, Tower Restaurant.
This fancy looking restaurant that exudes a vibe of offering French dishes is actually named as such because it is located on the ground floor of UAP (United Architects of the Philippines) building which happens to have a radio tower on top.
The first thing I noticed as soon as I stepped in was the predominant use of white and red for the interiors which confused me even more as it gave an impression of being a Chinese restaurant. But we were quickly corrected by the friendly owner, Architect Jojo, who also conceptualized some of the dishes offered to us during our visit.
They initially offered various cuisines when they first started but eventually stuck with Filipino dishes when they noticed that these sell more than the rest. They have also designed the restaurant to be an events venue to cater to life milestones as well as corporate events and even fans' day, being near the two giant networks, ABS-CBN and GMA Network.
While waiting for our food to arrive, the servers asked us for our drinks. Seeing that most went with Kamias Shake (PHP126), I went with that tangy chilled beverage as well. R, on the other hand, was intrigued by Sapphire Twist (PHP126) which uses lychee as one of its base fruits. I liked R's drink more as it had a more refreshing taste.
For appetizers, we sampled Tinapa Roll (PHP180) and Sipa (PHP126). The Tinapa Roll was your usual smoked fish, shredded and stuffed inside a lumpia wrapper. It had a slight dry texture so make sure that you dip it in its sauce.
Sipa on the other hand reminded me of fried siomai. I wasn't too fond of this one though as the meat was sweet and it weirded me out.
I next sampled this seafood soup with thick white broth which warmed me up on a gloomy Saturday afternoon. The seafood used were fresh and added a lovely slight sweet taste.
The Seafood Kare-Kare (PHP450) was pretty good too. I loved its thick sauce and abundant mussels and prawns. We later found out that Tower Restaurant used salted egg instead of fish sauce in cooking its kare-kare and that explains the thickness and richness of the sauce.
I wasn't able to try the Binukadkad na Tilapia (PHP270) but I got a forkful of Pinaputok na Pampano (PHP450). I'm not really a fan of pampano but this one's pretty good. It had a slight crunch which I liked.
R and I shared a piece of Deep Fried Liempo (PHP360) and it was just your usual sinful liempo. I paired it with some Pinakbet (PHP180) which was good but nothing extraordinary as well.
One of my favorite dishes here was Kaldereta (PHP360). I was a bit iffy in getting a huge chunk of meat as I was worried that it'll be tough to chew. I was pleasantly surprised though that it was very tender. The dish was also rich in flavor and I liked its cheesy taste.
We also feasted on some of Tower Restaurant's Bagoong Rice and Crab Rice (both at PHP270). The bagoong rice had nice flavor and would go well with fried dishes but I was swept by the crab rice with its generous serving of crab meat.
To cap our meal, we were given some Suman Latik (PHP126) which was again, your usual suman with coconut jam.
Overall, this restaurant offers usual Filipino dishes with some having a bit of twist to it. This place is a good option when you have foreign business partners around. You get to let them taste something local in a fancy looking place for that much needed good impression.

Second time around here was something i expected: classy, elegant, and a bit cold. Thanks for the event on the ground floor it made the place a little bit warmer. We were situated on the second floor in their mini function room (at that time seemingly exclusive for us) andnew faces (for me) and warm greetings from Ruth D Paulo Jose L Marco Jose L
Filipino food comfort food as i remember the words of the restauranteer the last time I dined here. Well, i was comfortable enough in my seat. Uael C since he has strong filipino culture taste, ordered most of our xishes tonight.
tinapa roll - the smoked fish is strong. A bit spicy with those green bell peppers.
kinilaw na tanigue - ginger, green chilli, onions, vinegar and the half cooked tanigue.. I was wrong to put it all together in my spoon and gobbled it. I guess i got too excited to try it and realized that my tongue was feeling burnt by those acid and chilli.. Too much not to distinguish if it was mayo or coconut milk incorporated in the dish.
seafood karekare
You like seafood? Then You SHOULD get this. However, i just think it was too much seafood taste. About 70-30 ratio of crab versus peanut taste. It has crabs, mussels, shrimp, squid, kangkong, string beans, eggplant. It also has chopped peanuts. Sauce was not too thick. Just right.
tower fried rice
Medley rice. One of their own. I just suggest you getting this since you cant find this anywere.. For me it tasted more like chinese. It's sauteed with dried chorizo, eggs and ham
Vigan rice
This rice tastes like breakfast rice. The meet in the rice tasted like toasted tapa. But i think the dish was trying to say i'm vigan longganisa.
I kinda like the sweet taste. This place is nuts about nuts cause the humba they serve got peanuts too. Well it kinda work, but we know humba's pork should be like as adobo pork... Here they made the pork into thin slices like as asado similar to cold cuts.
crispy pata
I like this. Crispy and meaty filipino dish. They got this right! Crispy. Kristin A couldn't disagree with me in this.
tower chicken
Again, i would recommend this cause this one's special. The marinade tells it all. It's one happy fried chicken. Marc David M did not hesitate to get another serving.
I think it's a filipino merry christmas for this batch of hungry people. The place is still kinda undecided wether its open for all. It does still look intimidating to enter. I noticed a decline of warmth in their service. I'm guessing because they were all busy. I saw jay-r and was busy too. Just dont forget to be more warm with the customers. I'm still giving it a 4 cause i cant give a 3.6 or 3.7 stars. Hahaha. I also think the place needs to give their menu a little bit of twist. The food was kinda expected already. Cannot thrive with others if you dont make a standout, right?

It's always fun exploring new restos within the Metro and since this is just a few mins drive from home, I decided to give in upon the invitation of Jayson J (our looloo host ).
To start off, this resto reminded me of semi-formal dining on top of Empire State except that there's no skyscraper view. Bitin. But the food was delectable... Not that striking but it was OK, and I could find more unique Filipino dishes.
seafood kare-kare
crispy pata
tinapa roll
tower chicken
tower rice and vigan rice

It takes guts to brave the EDSA traffic this yuletide season, so coming from Makati to QC can be quite daunting but what kept us going is the prospect of trying a new place which Jayson J vehemently recommended to the group. So here's what we've experienced at Tower Restaurant along Scout Rallos:
Tinapa roll
This piece is flavour-packed. It comes with a sulang pinakurat, which gives it an extra kick and balances out the smokiness of tinapa. Quite good.
Kinilaw malasugue
It is typical ceviche but the dressing has mayonnaise in it. No wonder it had this unique creamy-whiteness if its dressing.
Seafood kare-kare
No need for bagoong. The peanut sauce is infused with aligue. It has squid, shrimp, mussels, fish, and crab.
Sorry, not good. I grew up in Mindanao, and humba is our adobo, so I know the elements that make a perfect humba. The cut of the pork used is wrong. Tasted much like asado to me.
Tower chicken
We expected a unique presentation given the dish's name. But yeah, its normal fried chicken. But the marinade used really went into the chicken, giving it a savoury punch in every bite.
Boneless crispy pata
Not boneless at all (see pic), but it is satisfactory.
Overall, its a fair experience at the Tower Restaurant. I heard they just opened, so I'm patient with the staff. It's really challenging to review a filipino resto, because as filipino, we have benchmarks, and I was waiting for that wow factor which unfortunately didn't come. But it isn't bad at all. 3 stars!

This is a new restaurant along Sct. Rallos near Tomas Morato. Just beside Mr. Graham's Sandwich Shop. It is called Tower Restaurant because... the owner is a Ted Mosby (architect, How I Met Your Mother reference) who's into the tallest buildings in the world? Just guessing haha! The place was okay. It looked a little fancy. We were seated on the 2nd floor because there was a party on the 1st. It was a bit dark, probably because of the curtains.
I expected more of an international cuisine but what we had were all Filipino dishes. I am just confused with the concept and branding of this restaurant.
Anyway, we had Tinapa Roll, Kinilaw, Pork Humba, Crispy Pata, Seafood Kare-Kare, Tower Fried Chicken, Tower Rice, and Vigan Rice. Overall, they were pretty okay but I liked the Kare-kare and Crispy Pata the most.
Service was good since there were servers assigned on the 2nd floor. They were helpful when we asked about their bestsellers.

Tower restaurant is a newly opened fusion restaurant at the morato strip. Located along scout rallos just before mr. Grahams (if you are coming from tomas morato),tower restaurant is not quite obvious, because it is greeted by a grandiose terraced cement and below a towering infrastructure (United Architects of the Philippines Headquarters). Many would actually think it is a hotel's reception. But to help you out, it's name conceptualized from where it is located. Yes, simply tower restaurant because it's the base of a towering infrastructure. Its logo is a simple 'tower' lettering that resembles the tower of paris with letterings of 'restaurant' below. Its grand opening will be on the 4th of November.
Buildings. Upon entering, you would see a well decorated interior, high ceiling. Some sort of simple but elegant chandelier would hang. A painted comparison of the world's tallest buildings, and a mezzanine for around thirty pax could dine. All these efforts wouldn't realize without the work of its architect John Fernandez, who happens to be its owner, and who happens to be present during my visit. John, or Jojo, basically wants the place to be simple yet elegant. He did not fail to realize it. The table and utensil arrangements, the red and maroon colors were just royal. The table napkins as to "add to the volume" of the plates... But Jojo also wants to impart that compared to other elegant restos, his prices would be affordable. Music ambiance was more likely for parties and I suggest to change it to a more calming music. Classical would do. You could also rent the function room for 9 thousand consumable and the mezzanine for 18 thousand consumable. The temperature really was not cold cause he told me that they turn off the air conditioning during 3-5pm. Besides, if it were too cold, the food, since there was only me dining at that time, would become cold and soggy.
The menu as I have noticed is not yet fully finalized as it was just inserted in some red clearbook. Jojo told me that he has nothing in mind during the menu formation. He just had four wonderful chefs who would gladly cook their best filipino dishes from appetizers to desserts. I noticed also that 90% of it were orders good for 2-3 pax. Its prices as well will be very much affordable if shared. Knowing this, i only ordered:
Tinapa roll: 6 pieces. This is one of a kind as it is cooked and prepared like the lumpiang shanghai--only the inside was a mixture or minced tinapa, celery, green chili, tomatoes, and i spotted some string bean. It was mildly spicy. There was this some kind of pinakurat dip for the appetizer.
Tower fried chicken: whole fried chick.. honestly, this is one of the best tasting chicken i've ever tasted. The meat was never dry.. Especially the breast part. The skin was thin and crispy... No thick breading at all.. I think it was really healthy too. And oh. It was cooked perfectly. Not a single tinge of blood. I also took some home cause its too many for me. Served with some ok gravy and ok atchara... For me, even without these, the chicken would taste really good already.
Mango pana cotta (on the house, thanks Jojo). It is quite off the filipino menu (much more elegant and western), but Jojo decided to include this as the palate cleanser. It did its job for me. I find the dessert good but too sweet. Mango syrup on top while the jelly itself was formed, and texture was great. I suggest to lower down the sweetness a bit.
As for the rest, these are Jojo's suggestions if you should visit the place. In which i will be, soon.
Balbakwa soup (not sure if i spelled that right) - beef tuhod (knee part)
tower soup - seafood cream base soup like as boullabaise
Boneless crispy pata - for people who really want to just eat and chew. The bones are especially taken off for you.
kare kare - towalya... Plus their Peanut D sauce comes with ITLOG NA MAALAT. Very interesting.
Seafood kare kare for those who do not eat oxen parts...
laing : this is the best among their veggie menu. This laing is wet. Not like the dry bicol laing
cheesecake : another off of the filipino menu. It's an original flavored cheesecake. Jojo mentioned that this cheesecake has special effects on the throat.. Heehee.
suman latik: finally a filipino favorite. Sugar? Latik? Eat it how you like it.
Jojo got me thinking of coming back to try some of this. And a fun part in the menu:
Adobo ni lolo
Adobo ni lola
What's the difference? Lolo got some eggs in his adobo while lola got some Peanut D in her adobo.. I kinda wonder what lola's adobo taste like.. i know right. I'm serious here. (cause it is unusual for me)
So he mentioned too about having food good for one.. One of which is the baby back ribs.. He is just in the stage of finalizing it and hopfully to launch it very soon.. Maybe in the grand opening?
I also met Jojo's partner Jay-r (and kinda resembles dingdong dantes) who is also handling the operations part.. The waiters (i noticed male dominance) were all courteous and accomodating. They got this cool black and red uniform too. However they were quite noisy at that time. It kinda ruined the ambiance. Jay-r please tell them. Nevertheless the experience was more on a 4 over 5.
"Come, taste our flavors" as what tower restaurant invites us all

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!
It's crazy to me that 7 months have gone by since my last post, but at the same time, it almost seems longer. I've thought about coming back to this space more and more over the past month or so, but couldn't think of anything worth while. Then, I decided that I didn't give a shiz and I'd come and babble away anyway.
That, and we are about to kick of a big DIY project next weekend and I got super excited to document progress here. But, I figured I ought to come back and check in before diving on in with that.
A lot of life has happened in seven months. We celebrated Eddie's first complete holiday season, his first BIRTHDAY, went to Mexico, and have crammed as much as we possibly can into every day with out sweet boy. Craig and I are continually amazed at what a sweet, funny, lovable kiddo he is. Don't give me wrong – amigo has his moments, you know the ones…the ones where we look at each other like "can you please make your child stop it?" hahahaha
What else, what else?
I started spinning in November and it's re-energized my genuine desire to get the gym. I spin 3-4 times a week and Body Pump usually once a week. I'm recently started seeing a chiropractor after being unable to finish a run without any hip/leg discomfort. He's a miracle worker and I'm hoping to complete a dualathon this fall.
I picked up crocheting like a crazy person. I've crocheted scarves for Christmas gifts for years, but this winter I branched out to challenging myself with different stitches and patterns. I even joined a Monday night crochet group with a girl from work! I have 3 different projects going right now – but I've made mittens, hats, blankets, more scarves, a sweater for Eddie, a top for myself…I'm telling you, I have a serious addiction to it. It's so relaxing for me.
We are wrapping up a Spring session of music classes with Eddie. The first couple of weeks were stressful – like, it wasn't even fun. He acted out, didn't listen to directions, and whined almost the entire time. But in week three, he finally "got" it. I think he came to recognize the room and the people and really came out of his shell. He loves it now. He claps along to the songs and has the silliest dances, he grabs the instruments to jam out and he really likes watching the other kids. Craig and I have enjoyed taking him together, interacting with him in a different way and just watching him interact with other kids his age. I'm so glad we put ourselves out there to try it – I think we will be signing up for more sessions this summer or fall.
I have so much more I could ramble about, but I think that's good for now! I'm so excited to start sharing more of our lives, projects, and every day haps!

Are you one of the millions, ok, more like thousands of people upset about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice? If you haven't already heard, yesterday, after months of speculation, it was officially announced that the sequel to the movie "Man of Steel" will be officially titled Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. And guess what? Nobody likes it. At this point, t's unclear what people are more upset about: Ben Affleck as Batman or Dawn of Justice.

Follows is the recipe for the dough (courtesy of Food & Wine magazine). Below the recipe is a video demonstrating how to prepare the empanadas.
EMPANADA DOUGH (Makes about 12 6-inch pies)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ tsp. kosher or unrefined sea salt
¾ cup water
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 Tbs. red wine, white wine or apple cider vinegar
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Make a well in the center and add the water, olive oil and vinegar. Mix until the dough comes together; it will be sticky.
2. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until smooth and no longer tacky (about 8 minutes), using a pastry scraper to free it from the work surface, if necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.

Getafe 3 - 1 Racing Santander
Told you we'd win. Stick with me, we'll go places.
Full credit to the Azulones for fighting back after a poor start to open the scoring through a Ruben de la Red header.
Even greater credit to them for managing to come back from Ebi Smolarek's equaliser: first, Javier Casquero netted, and then Manu del Moral made up for an earlier miss with a fine goal.
Above all, thanks to Pablo Hernandez for setting all three of them up. What a player - the club will need to find someone special to play on the right after he leaves.
The only downsides were injuries to Uche and Belenguer, but there's no word yet on how serious they are.
Dare to dream: could we be set for a second successive Copa del Rey final? Santander is never an easy place to go for visiting teams, but that Manu goal has made me a hell of a lot more comfortable than I would have been at 2-1.
I think I'll be booking another flight to Spain this year...

Oct 27, 2016 - Gold ready to run?
3 comments:
READY TO RUN....BUT ONLY UP 1214 IT'S CONFIRMED...ReplyDelete
Careful the last time was secular bull market and now gold is in secular bear market. It will move higher for 2-3 years in a cyclical bull market, but do not expect rocket launch higher.ReplyDelete
SilentOne posted great video on Gold too, analyzing tops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFmWerwLHrU
It is a must for some one who trades gold.
And another piece from Tony Caldaro http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article56316.html. It is about Crude Oil, but it applies to all commodities. Basically confirms the analysis from SilentOne and my observations that commodities are moving higher with corrective waves.

INMA Webinar: News Quality Scoring: Surfacing Great Journalism From the Web
Event description
Quality journalism is massively under-valuated with no advertising correlation between production costs and economic value ... and editorial quality production gets buried amid new products.
In work being done by famed French media expert Frederic Filloux at Stanford, algorithms are being developed to define quality, quantify journalism, surface stories, and score them — at scale and with machine-readable signals.
In this INMA Webinar, learn how Frederic has built the model, what the quantifiable signals are, and what advertising and editorial valuations might look like in value creation.
Webinar highlights:
- Date: Wednesday, February 28
- Time: 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. New York time
- Cost: Free for you as an INMA member
- How: Send an e-mail to Krista Avedikian at email@example.com
The Webinar is only available to INMA members.

MOMBASA, KENYA — Kenyan police said on Monday they had shot dead a suspected supporter of the Somali militant group al-Shabab during a gunfight and said he had been plotting attacks in the country.
Kenya has suffered a series of grenade and gun attacks since it sent troops into neighboring Somalia in October 2011 in pursuit of insurgents it blames for kidnapping security personnel and Western tourists from its territory.
The attacks, which have targeted the capital Nairobi, Kenya's Indian Ocean coastline and its frontier with Somalia, have rattled investors and tourists in east Africa's biggest economy.
Police shot the suspect, Kassim Omollo, after he defied orders to surrender during a dawn raid on a house in the port city of Mombasa and instead returned fire, senior police officer Thomas Sangut said.
Police confiscated a sniper lens, two grenades, an AK 47 rifle, a pistol, more than 200 rounds of ammunition and an assortment of improvised explosive devices at the property, Sangut said.
The suspect was an al-Shabab trainer and bomb making expert whom police had been trailing for more than a year, police said.
"He has been changing residence all the time. Today we would trace him in Kenya, tomorrow we would hear he is in Somalia. He is the main man who has been behind the radicalizing and training of Kenyan youth in Somalia," Sangut said.
"We had information that he had come back here to plan terrorist attacks in Mombasa and Nairobi," Sangut said.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaida and wants to impose a strict version of Islamic law across Somalia, could not be reached to comment on whether Omollo was in their ranks.
Al-Shabab has been substantially weakened in the last two years, losing Mogadishu and swathes of central and southern Somalia to Kenyan troops fighting under an African force.
But the rebels have managed to mount low-level raids across the border with Kenya.

Bismillah (In the name of Allah)
When it comes to homemaking, parenting, Islam, and whatever relates to it I believe myself to be an amateur in her very early attempts. And on top of that, I'm progressing at crawling speed-sigh.
Last night, though, I realized that there's one thing that I had mastered in the parenting arena: I have, alhamdulillah (praised be Allah,) got all my children accustomed to go to bed by themselves. Let me elaborate: I developed sort of a routine where my two older kids get in their pjs, brush their teeth, and go to bed just expecting from me "a warm hug and kisses." After tucking them in bed with 16-month-old in arms I proceed to her room where I nurse her, give her the same dose of hugs and kisses, put her in bed and they're gone to sleep. I know some of you might be thinking,"What's the big deal?" But to me it's a blessing. After I put them to bed after spending the entire day with them, alhamdulillah, I need my time to do whatever I enjoy and spend time with my husband in the evening; and I also believe it's healthy for children to have set bedtimes instead of just being up beyond tire until parents go to sleep. I know too many a case and I know how it can affect people's lives negatively.
I think we had to stop and thank Allah often for the things He blesses us and gives us ease with, and this is what I'm thaknful for today. We could become so pesimistic due to the challenges we face everyday and the difficulties we encounter as parents that our vision becomes so clouded and we can't see beyond the negative. I invite you to look at those little blessings that we are offered everyday. It sometimes can be as obvious as what I shared above but other times it could hide behind seemingly hideous things like a messy house or dirty dishes in the sink. A messy house, dirty dishes? Of course! Having a lively house causes mess, which could be cleared anytime you want, anyways. And, as for dirty dishes in the sink I leave this one up to you to ponder about ;-)
Alhamdulillah for the ease I've been given and all the blessings I am showered with everyday!

Sometimes the Good Samaritan isn't always what he appears to be.
Witness this tale from Parma.
Melissa Piorkowski was on her way home with her son after picking him up from school last week. Both were riding bikes. Unfortunately, the 8-year-old boy took a tumble on his bike, crashing near W. 54th St. He broke his nose, knocked a couple of teeth loose, and had some facial bleeding.
Mom called 911, someone else called her husband to tell him mom and son were on their way to the hospital, an ambulance arrived, and then the Good Samaritan showed up.
According to the Parma Sun Post:
Then a man drove up in a red pickup truck with yellow flames painted on the sides. He asked if there was anything he could do.
"I thought he was just being a good Samaritan," Piorkowski said.
Piorkowski gave the man her address and asked him to drive the two bikes back to her house and give them to her daughter.
The man said OK and loaded the bikes onto his truck.
Meanwhile, an ambulance took Brandon to Parma Community General Hospital, where he was treated and released.
The family hasn't seen the two bikes since.
Nice guy, right?

This week, I read in a Portuguese magazine, called 'Super Interessante' – a magazine which has various articles about various areas, like science, tecnology, culture, society, history and nature – from January/2008, an article that caught my eye (the website given is from the magazine's brazilian edition). It was in the 'Behaviour' section, and I found it really interesting – pretty ironic, since the translation of this magazine name is 'Very Interesting'. Hah!
Anyway, it talked about a recent study in the field of neuromusic which supports that the type of personality of people can be defined by the style of music they prefer to listen to. According to the American psychologist Sam Gosling , from the University of Texas, who based his study in a test – STOMP – applied to hundreds of people, the personality of people show some characteristic traces according to their music preferences. These are the main diferences he established (more generally):
- Reflective & Complex: Classical, Blues, Folk and Jazz.
- Intense & Rebellious: Alternative, Rock and Heavy Metal.
- Upbeat & Conventional: Country, Religious, Pop and Soundtracks/theme songs.
- Energetic & Rhythmic: Dance/Electronic, Rap/Hip Hop and Soul/Funk.
But there is much more to know about our musical preferences. The British psychologist Adrian North, from the University of Leicester, made a detailed research in 2006 over more than 2500 people chosen randomly. The questionnaire had various questions – not just about musical tastes but also about daily habits, relationships, income… The magazine gives interesting details about the statistics, like:
- Those who love opera music tend to be dangerous when driving and are, in majority, married. They are also liberal, smart, with high education levels and higher income than the average. And they prefer wine better than beer.
- Rockers have more tendency than the average to declare themselves as atheists. They are active and adventurous. The lovers of the rock of the 60's are more prejudiced by unemployed than the others, but that is probably related to their average age. As far as those who listen heavy metal, they usually are curious, intelligent, athletics and confident of themselves.
- Fans of pop music are considered to be happy, generous, predictable and conservative. They usually are considered to be attractive people as well.
- Those who like musical films and soundtracks usually prefer wine better than beer too. More, they are the ones who smoke less.
- Those who like hip hop music are fewer enthusiasts of recycling and of renewable energy sources. However, they are extrovert and energic people, with a high self esteem.
- The fans of electronic music like to practice sports and exercise regularly. More, they are the ones who travel the most.
- Single people listen to more DJ, hip hop, dance and house music, but when they get into a steady relationship, they gradually start to appreciate country, blues, pop and classic music.
Funny, heh? (:
Our musical taste gets more 'solid' between 16 and 24 years old, according to North. But of course, it isn't the same through our life. As far as we get older, our taste becomes more and more sophisticated, as our brain has already heard more music and is able to 'enjoy' more complex sounds. Nevertheless, it's pretty rare to find someone who loves to listen to Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan or so, and instantly changes it for Beethoven and Brahms.
There are other theories about how music influences us. But if I talked about all I've already heard, I wouldn't leave my computer today. Ahah!
It may sound a bit preconceptious to label someone by their favourite music genre. But if we look closely, when people meet each other for the first time, one of the most likely subject to talk about is music. By knowing the other's preferences, we instantly identify ourselves with that person or not. And that, surely, is crucial. There are actually social websites based on that fact, like last.fm.
So, see if these personality caracteristics really match yours. (:

Religion Makes Me Feel Sick
3/09/2010 | Share this article: View CommentsBy Ryan --
I'm not religious at all. I've never been religious. However, I've tried to understand what drives a person to follow a religion. I've attended religion courses in high school and university, and read up on my own on various religious beliefs.
Image by Jeff the Trojan via FlickrI don't want to argue the merits of each religion because it's pointless. No one can win an argument about which religion is the most valid. Instead, the purpose of this rant is to vent about religion actually making me sick.
I'm an Atheist, and I am likely going to be an Atheist the rest of my life. I try to educate myself on other religions to be respectful of other peoples beliefs; however, I myself can't fathom any type of omnipotent being existing. My mind just won't accept that type of thinking.
Over the past few years I find myself getting more frustrated with religion. I find religious people can't keep their beliefs to themselves as if they feel the need to have their beliefs validated. Is this why religions such as Christianity are constantly trying to convert and "save" people?
Also, I find it very frustrating to see public dollars spent by governments to fund religion. It's disheartening to see money go towards capital projects (i.e. grants to build churches), military spending (i.e. fighting religion inspired wars), and special interest groups (i.e. giving money to Youth For Christ so they can convert more youth to Christianity).
As someone who is suffering from clinical depression, I find it difficult some days to get out of bed. The usual culprit that keeps me in bed is thinking about how predominant religion is in the world. The idea that the majority of people believe in an imaginary man that lives in the sky makes me feel an overwhelming sadness. This sadness is like a pit of lethargy I can't get out of. When I sink into my pit of depression I get severe migraines, feel dizzy, and have no drive.
Not only does religion bug me while I lay in bed; I can be watching TV when the thought of religion creeps into my mind. My face turns red, I feel extremely warm, begin to sweat, and have trouble breathing. The simple thought of religion quite often gives me panic attacks.
I've taken Celexa, Effexor, Paxil, and Pristiq. Also, I've seen 6 different Psychologists and Psychiatrists. I have yet to solve my problem stemming from my thoughts on religion.
Why did I write this little rant? I'm not completely sure. I think I was hoping it would be therapeutic. Also, if there is someone else out there going through what I am, I hope they learn they are not the only one.

Temporary Food Premises
Temporary food premises are temporary sites or stalls where food is sold. This includes stalls and tents at school fetes, markets, festivals and other short term events.
If you are intending to sell food to the public from a temporary food premises in Greater Shepparton, you must either:
- notify Council;
- submit a statement of trade; or
- register with Council depending on which type of food you are planning to sell.
The following information outlines the requirements for temporary food premises and is separated into commercial and not for profit/community group requirements.
It is expected that all temporary and mobile food premises are set up in compliance with Food Standards Code and that food sold to the public is safe and suitable.
Commercial Temporary and Mobile Premises
Under the state-wide registration system for temporary and mobile food premises, the food business must register with the 'principal council' and submit a 'Statement of trade' (SOT) to each other council area that you will trade in.
Your principal council is the council in which the premise is based, equipment is stored or garaged, or the first trade occurs in for interstate traders. Once registered with the principal council, a statement of trade must be submitted to any other council that you trade in.
- Class 2 temporary food premises will need to have a Food Safety Program and a qualified Food Safety Supervisor.
- Class 3 temporary food premises will need to maintain Minimum Records.
- Class 4 temporary food premises will only need to notify the council in which they are going to trade.
Contact Council's Environmental Health team, who will assist you with becoming registered and advise you which class you will fall into depending on the risk level of food sold.
Not for Profit and Community Groups
Not for profit and community groups are also required to operate under the new state-wide registration/notification system. This includes any group that is fundraising through the sale of food, it does not include food provided free of charge.
There are different levels of registration depending on the risk/type of food a Not for Profit/Community Group is selling. Below is a table that outlines class 2, 3 or 4 activities.
- Class 2
High risk foods which need correct temperature control at all times to keep them safe, such as:
- salads, sandwiches, smoothies and fresh juice made on site.
- casseroles, curries etc which are cooked and held hot, or cooked, cooled and reheated.
- Class 3
Unpackaged low risk foods or pre-packaged high risk foods or cook and serve foods such as:
- biscuits, nuts, cereals, jams etc if removed from packaging.
- pre-packaged high risk food including cakes with cream fillings, or meals (eg lasagne) or pies/sausage rolls.
- barbeques including hamburgers, other meats or eggs cooked and served immediately.
- Class 4
Low risk activities including such as:
- shops and stalls with packaged cakes (excluding cream cakes and raw egg), bottled jams or honey
- simple sausage sizzles at stalls, where the sausages are cooked and served immediately. This means sausages, sauce, onions and bread. (This does not include hamburgers or other high risk foods).
- sale of uncut fruit and vegetables at farmers markets or by greengrocers (whether retail or wholesale)
- wine tasting
- tea and coffee
If you are selling any food that falls into a class 2 or 3 food premises, then registration is required.
Any applicable payment information is detailed on the application form and should be paid on lodgement.
Your application will be assessed and on approval you will receive a Class 2 or Class 3 food registration.
For further information please contact Council's Environmental Health Department on 03 5832 9731.

Zap2it: Why do you think "Awkward" — this show about high school — appeals to viewers of different ages?
Brett Davern: I think that is why the show has done so well, in terms of getting an audience, not just the audience they were hoping to get, the typical demographic for MTV, the teenage crowd. I hear all the time from people who had a vision of MTV being a lot of reality TV, or being just for teenagers. And they will be like, "I sat down and watched this show and now I am hooked."
Zap2it: Is this what you trained for?
Brett Davern: I always thought I would be doing musicals.
Zap2it: Have you done Broadway?
Brett Davern: Not yet. I would love to. That is something I still want to do, theater is a big part of my life.
Zap2it: What was your first time on stage?
Brett Davern: I tried out in fourth grade for the musical. It was a musical version of "Tom Sawyer." That was my first play. Ever since then I was hooked. In the summers, I went to Stage Door Manor. You get bit by the bug and you are off and running. From there I had a teacher at my high school.
Zap2it: What's been the biggest surprise with this show?
Brett Davern: The overwhelming part is the fan response, and Twitter and Facebook has been so awesome. And we will do live tweeting while it is on. That takes me back to theater — you get a response or you don't.

Amor Fati Overnight In Hospital
The wardsman shaving my pubic hair
is shyer than I am here.
We contrive to talk
from further selves for manhood's sake.
Amid sea-green professionals
I watch myself on screen.
The catheter probes my blood-vessels
like a mouse in a maze-experiment,
finds as they expect, no more.
The talon of arteries that holds my heart
erect to life has one weak claw.
I feel humiliation, not fear.
The plastic bottle they insist
I use to pee, I'll not use.
Courteous, desperate, I last
till two am, evade the night-nurse.
The triumph's paltry. Returning, I see,
huge on my inside thigh
my Viking blood has splayed and run
to a purple map of Europe beneath the skin.
My forbears went to the New World from that,
and sure, it's proper, says my heart
to face the thing and snuff it quick,
Grettir on Drangey, not liking the dark
but taking what comes and its loneliness,
strange elation at how exact is this.
But here are good professional staff
reading screens to make my future safe
who require no more than a stranglehold
upon the wild affections of my world.
For this is blockage, infirmity. This
is not me, but the mortal incubus,
the hobbler who
must walk beside me with his cue
of Now when it comes, it will hold no surprise,
a self watching my self with angel eyes.
—Alan Gould, from The Past Completes Me
