The COROMANDEL - MUST DO GEMS
Funnily enough, I’m actually not much of a beach goer. I love the outdoors, but I’m more of a lakes and snow capped mountains kinda girl. But hey, somehow I managed to find myself spending three months of my summer escaping to what some would say is the heart of New Zealand’s beaches, the Coromandel Peninsula. Because have you had a real kiwi summer without spending at least one of them chilling with the beach at your door step?
When I first arrived I scrolled and scrolled the inter web for places to adventure to and less well known spots to explore. Every single thing I read mentioned the Cathedral Cove and Hot Water beach, which no hate, they are mind blowingly beautiful. But I did struggle to get info on much else. So I thought why not put together a list of must do gems I’ve come across along the way, that way you can enjoy them and add them to your North Island bucket list too!
Although not yet fully converted the pristine beaches of the Coromandel have made a huge impression. I don’t care what anyone else says, New Zealand straight up has the best beaches in the world.
The Coromandel is 85 km long and roughly two hours from the city of Auckland. The Coromandel is exploding with misty Jurassic forests, the wildest of nature, friendly free spirited people, coastal scenery, bays filled with babes, hidden waterfalls, the most golden of sands AND some serious tropical vibes. My ideal summer activity is having a tent stashed in the car, little to no plans and driving until I’ve stumbled upon a deserted beach to set up camp and watch the sun go down. This place is perfect for a dose of this.
If you can handle narrow winding roads, one way bridges, some serious radio scratchiness and weak phone signal, then look no further. Choose which tickles your fancy and get exploring!
Must do gems
DRIVE- 1 hour 15 minutes. Coromandel Town- Port Jackson- along a gravel road
2 hours. Whitianga- Port Jackson
I have to say this has got to be well and truly up there with my favourite beachside camping spot’s in New Zealand. You know the ideal summer activity I mentioned earlier? This is that deserted beach spot to a T. At the tippy top of the Peninsula you will find the beaut Port Jackson DOC campsite, the perfect place to lounge about and explore. The family friendly campsite is very well maintained and follows a ‘waste in, waste out’ policy, meaning the human impact is at it’s bare minimum. Tick! The campsite holds up to 450 campers and you can either book on arrival (make sure you have the correct change,) or book a spot through doc.govt.nz – something I would advise in the peak of summer. Keep note the closest store and petrol station is in Colville which is a 50 minute drive, so come prepared with snacks, a full tank and a chilly bin filled with beers. The campground is equipped with an electric bbq and kettle, perfect for cooking up those snags!
Imagine no one but your fellow campers for miles, sheltered from civilisation,
and magical views looking out onto the beach and Little Barrier Island in the distance. Waking up to the sound of birds, crashing waves and the soft morning light is absolute bliss.
At the eastern end of the camp is the 2 hour return Muriwai Walk which leads you up the headland and along the coast. Steep drops down to the ocean on one side and luscious rolling hills on the other. Name a better spot to watch in awe at the sun rising or falling.
WALK- 7 hour return/10km each way
DRIVE- 1 hour 40 minutes. Coromandel Town- Fletcher Bay 1 hour 20 minutes. Coromandel Town- Stony Bay
Keen walkers listen up. While you’re at Port Jackson why not venture even further into the wilderness, where no roads will be seen for yonks. The Coromandel Coastal Walkway is a decent walk along the jagged cliffs, over trickling streams, down to rugged, isolated bays, and up and through farmlands. Watch the sheep pause and lazily start a stare comp, and listen out for native birdies singing sweet tunes. The dramatic views out onto the blues of the Pacific Ocean are to die for! About 90 minutes in from the Stony Bay end is a wee lookout that is well worth the 5 minute huff and puff up. You’Il look down the sheer cliff faces and straight out onto the hectic views of Great Barrier and surrounding islands.
I started from Fletcher Bay and walked to Stony Bay, then turned around and done it all over again! Fletcher Bay is only a 15 minute drive from Port Jackson, so if you’re already on that side this starting point is your best bet. If you aren’t keen for the full return trip, or want to make your stroll more family friendly, then you can book a tour company who will pick you up at one end or another- beware this may cost an arm and a leg!
DRIVE- 30 minutes. Whitanga- Falls
14 minutes. Coromandel Town- Falls
If you’re as hot as a nun in a cucumber patch then mosey on down the 309 gravel road to the charming Waiau Falls, the perfect swimming hole on a scorcher of a day! The road is full of twists and turns and can be a bit of a tight squeeze at times so drive carefully. Belittled by gorgeous, mighty Kauri trees, the 2 minute walk from the side of the road to the waterfall is a must. Would be rude not to!
DRIVE- 8 minutes. Tairua- Mt Paku carpark
WALK- 30 mins return. Car park- summit. 20 mins up- 10 mins back
Add this 7 million year old island volcano to your list quick smart. Drive up and park at the well sign posted carpark where you’ll see a small path on the park heading up hill to the short but steep summit walk. Loads of scrambling up rocks and slogging up stairs, but once you reach the trig at the top you’re rewarded with 360 degree views of pure New Zealand coastal gorgeousness. Gaze out onto the islands chilling in the sea, fishing boats anchored up in the Tairua Harbour, and spin right around to capture layers upon layers of the Pinnacles in the Coromandel Forest Park.
WENTWORTH VALLEY FALLS
DRIVE- 6 minutes. Whangamata- Falls- semi gravel road
WALK- 3km/45 minutes. Carpark- falls lookout. Extra 5 minutes to base of falls
Deep in the Coromandel Forest Park is the 50 metre high falls of Wentworth Valley. You’re not only treated to one waterfall, but two long tiers of water cascading in unison. A bloody great spot for the kids as the walk is easy and relatively smooth, with plenty of places to rest their little legs and swimming spots all over the show to jump in for a quick dip.
For the more adventurous, once you wander over bridges and emerge from the bushes you’ll reach the lookout to the falls. Directly in front of you as you look out to the falls is a slightly paved out dirt track that takes you on a steep downhill climb over roots and humungous steps carved into the cliff face. After a 5 minute slog you’ll reach the base of the falls, a hidden gem! I perched up with here with a book and quite honestly did not want to leave. Tranquillity at it’s absolute finest.
If you have time to spare there is a DOC campsite right next to the carpark which looked pretty damn relaxing if I do say so myself. Reception is at it’s minimum in the area so take note.
NEW CHUMS BEACH
DRIVE- 37 minutes. Whitianga- carpark
WALK- 25 minutes. Carpark- New Chums Beach
This hidden spot is in a whole other world of it’s own, and voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world for damn good reason. 7 minutes drive after turning off to Whangapoua from SH25, you’ll reach the carpark at the end of the road. TIP– If the car park is full take the short gravel road to your left around the corner and park at the William Mangakahia Lagoon Reserve (this is closer to the beach too!) From here you’ll wade through the shallow waters of the lagoon (indeed, you will get wet,) hobble around the rocky coastline, wander over the headland and through wild native bush, until you reach one of the best stretches of unspoiled beaches in the land. Take a dip in the ocean, explore the caves in the cliff, frolic along the creamy white sand, and admire the toi toi bushes and wildlife chirping about. Each time I’ve visited there has been surprisingly few people, which equals pure isolated heaven in my books! You can only access the beach by foot so I promise you won’t spot a single car or building in sight.
On your way back two minutes into the walk on your left hand side you’ll notice a rugged path up a large step in the bush. If you’re itching for some serious beach to beach views over the pristine blue ocean from above, clamber up the massive boulders in the steep rock face for roughly 15 minutes, until you reach the top of the cliff. You’d be silly not to view the beach from this angle with your own eyes!
DRIVE- 11 minutes. Paeroa-Owharoa Falls 9 minutes. Waihi- Owharoa Falls
WALK- less than 5 minutes from carpark
If you’re travelling through the historic Karangahake Gorge and only have time for a quick pit stop, this is where it’s at. Nestled within the rich forest, look out for the ‘Owharoa Falls’ sign and turn down Waitawheta Road, just off SH2. Cross the bridge and drive for a few metres until you spot a carpark on the right hand side. From here you’ll find a track leading you on a small stroll to the tranquil staircase falls, rippling over the moss covered rocks. Don’t forget your camera!
WHENUAKITE KIWI ZONE LOOKOUT
DRIVE– 5 mins north of Tairua
35 minutes south of Whitianga
Just north of Tairua on SH25 you’ll swing by a corner with a small area to pull over and park on. Spot a little opening in the bushes paving the way to the lookout and follow the path for a couple of minutes. You’ll be delighted to never ending views across the Coromandel, and the teeniest tiniest glimpse of the 714 million cubic kilometres of oceanic water. Check out the info signs to read all about our native Kiwi bird.
SHAKESPEARE’S CLIFF LOOKOUT
DRIVE- 4 minutes. Cooks Beach- Shakespeare’s Cliff 15 minutes. Hahei- Shakespeare’s Cliff 35 minutes. Whitianga- Shakespeare’s Cliff OR
FERRY RIDE– 5 minutes. Whitianga wharf- ferry landing
WALK– 2.3km/ 35 minute one way from ferry landing
For sweeping panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean, Whitianga town, Cooks Beach and the surrounding islands- Shakespeare’s Cliff lookout is where it’s at! There are oodles of ways to reach the vantage point and a fair few, but not too crazy steps to climb up on the way. If you’re coming from Whitianga I’d no doubt catch the quick $7 return ferry trip over the water to the ferry landing, then walk up the hill to the lookout from there. From Flaxmill Bay there are a bunch of different paths you can take. One way or another you’ll climb up through native bush, onto a large grassy reserve dotted with Pohutukawa trees, then meet up with the gravel road, all before reaching the top of the cliff in all it’s glory. The area screams pure rustic beauty, and the info boards fill your cup with all the history you could possibly need. If you aren’t so keen on the walk you can take the side road off Purangi Road and drive right up to the carpark, only 1 minute walk away from the lookout, no worries!
DRIVE- 3 minutes. Cooks Beach- Lonely Bay 14 minutes. Hahei- Lonely Bay
WALK– 5 minutes. Carpark- Lonely Bay 2km/30 minutes one way from ferry landing
As the name suggests, a lonely bay nestled between two sheer cliffs is what you’ll find. On the same road as Shakespeare’s Cliff, drive up towards the lookout until you see a sign for the Lonely Bay carpark on your right- Lonely Bay is a short but steep 5 minute downhill walk from here. Alternatively take the ferry from Whitianga and walk (as explained earlier.) Perch up on a jagged log of driftwood and enjoy the secluded bay, limestone boulders, shell littered sand and crashing waves. An untouched wee spot, fitting for a mellow picnic and dip in the sea.
OTAMA BEACH AND OPITO BAY
DRIVE- 5 minutes. Kuaotunu- Otama Beach 10 minutes. Otama Beach- Opito Bay. Both along gravel roads
Off the beaten track you’ll find the peaceful, finest white sand beach of Otama, set on the north east coast of the Peninsula. Travelling north, turn left off SH25 into Kuaotunu village and follow the narrow gravel road over the hills. The drive in it’s self is breath taking, with outrageous views at every corner over the deep blue waters. Head out for a day and explore the uncrowded lagoon, native dunes, gnarly waves and lush surrounding bushland. Roam to the far end of the beach for an epic rope swing and drive 10 minutes further around the coast to reach Otama Bay, the perfect place for a picnic under the shady Pohutukawa trees.
BUFFALO BEACH SUNSET
DRIVE– 1 hour 25 minutes. Thames- Whitianga
Name a better way to end a summer’s day than with a stunning sunset over the ocean.
Overlooking Mercury Bay from Whitianga’s Buffalo Beach is a prime spot to capture the sun dipping below the horizon, and to search for the man on the moon in the night sky. The flaming colours of the illuminated sky blow my mind every damn time. These photo’s speak for themselves.

The women I have asked have such careers as doctors, lawyers, stock brokers, etc. My point is these women are not stupid.
So what the hell is going on with this current dating trend? Please shine some light on it for me, because I refuse to dumb myself down for any person.
After all, intelligent men are inherently superior, right? Why would a woman want to date some dumb jock when she could date a guy who quotes Proust Intelligetn understands the motion of molecules? And this is incorrect, for two reasons.
They can get that on their own. Many, many smart women are occupying demanding roles in the information economy. Increasingly, women spend long workdays absorbing avalanches of data and issuing complicated recommendations.
And nobody — well, Inttelligent nobody — wants to keep their brain turned on all the time. Or the one about the private equity fund genius who dates a slew of European models.

My advice is this: Learn from the dumb dudes. What I mean is, change up your game a little. Upon meeting a lovely woman, is your first instinct to say something profound about a giant novel you just read?
Instead, ask her some questions about herself. Look for shared interests, or opinions, or just something you can both laugh about.

It has been more than a decade after the Marikana massacre claimed the lives of miners in the North West mining town, and yet a culture of impunity has been allowed to continue, with no one being held accountable for the loss of life, Amnesty International South Africa said on the 11th anniversary of the shooting.
“The lack of accountability for victims and their families is a recurring theme in South Africa. We need to demand answers as to why it is taking 11 years in the case of the Marikana massacre for there to be any prosecutions, and ultimately accountability for the brutal loss of life,” Amnesty International South Africa Executive Director Shenilla Mohamed said.
The lack of accountability for victims and their families is a recurring theme in South Africa. We need to demand answers as to why it is taking 11 years in the case of the Marikana massacre for there to be any prosecutions, and ultimately accountability for the brutal loss of lifeAmnesty International South Africa Executive Director Shenilla Mohamed
On 16 August 2012, 34 miners were killed and more than 70 wounded near the mine in Marikana, when police used live ammunition to disperse a group of striking protesters.
As such these actions were unlawful under South African domestic law obliging police officers to act within a framework of minimum force, and under international law and standards, in particular the obligation to respect and protect life. The United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms allows for the use of firearms only in defence against imminent threat of death or serious injury and only when less extreme methods are insufficient.
While some officers are facing charges for the events that took place before 16 August 2012, no police officer has been charged for the killing of 34 mine workers on that fateful day.
Amnesty International South Africa wrote to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the North West asking for answers as to why there have been no prosecutions, 11 years after the massacre.
The IPID, told Amnesty International South Africa that in relation to the shooting on 16 August at what is known as Scene 1 and 2, the role of every single member of the police that was deployed in Marikana on the date in question was being investigated. IPID said these were more or less 600 police officers. It said the cases had now been transferred to the North West Director of Public Prosecutions for further handling.
The NPA has not responded to Amnesty International South Africa’s questions as to why no one had been prosecuted to date.
The IPID tried to justify the delay in justice, by saying that the Farlam commission of inquiry into the shooting, started in 2012, and that all Marikana investigations were ordered to stop, and only resumed in 2016 when IPID investigators met with a team of experienced advocates appointed by the National Director of Public Prosecutions to lead the investigations.
“We made it clear to IPID and the NPA that waiting 11 years for accountability was unacceptable. The excuse that investigations were stopped until 2016, is also not a good enough excuse, it still means that there have been seven years with no prosecutions and no accountability,” Shenilla Mohamed said.

“The victims and their families cannot be made to wait another year, nevermind another 11 years for justice. This will just result in the continued lack of accountability for the unlawful killings by police.”
On 16 August 2012, the South African Police Service fatally shot 34 men at Marikana in South Africa’s North West province. The men were employees of the mining company, Lonmin, and had been engaged in a strike and protest action over pay and conditions at the mine. The scale and visibility of the killings, as well as the growing unrest across the mining sector, sparked a national crisis.
Since 2012 Amnesty International has commented and campaigned on the serious policing failures that led to the deaths at Marikana, calling for full accountability and reparations for the victims and their families.
In 2016 Amnesty International released a report titled Smoke and mirrors: Lonmin’s failure to address housing conditions at Marikana.

Never in the short history of the internet has there been such affordability and reliability in web hosting. The newest form of hosting technology is known as “cloud” hosting where computers are connected together and use redundant routers and switches so there is rarely a case of downtime because of a single server.
Omnis now offers cloud hosting at reasonable prices for the general consumer. They started in 1999 in the internet industry and now have over 400,000 hosted domains. With their brand of cloud hosting the general consumer can now afford cloud technology without paying hundreds of dollars a month.

The internet is just getting off the ground. We don’t mean it is just gaining acceptance as a major media and communication form (it accomplished that years ago), but rather, it is moving into the clouds. Cloud servers, that is, where a data center utilizes load balancers and cloud memory storage to streamline web hosting and service. And cloud server technology is exactly what Omnis is all about.

We are in the first few days of Fall, which is the perfect time for a road trip up the coast on the Highway 1 Discovery Route. We are so excited to share our hosted adventure with you all today. Because there was so much to do, we decided to break it up over two articles. The second one will be posted on Friday and I will update this story with a link to it.
Located a couple of hours north of Los Angeles, The California Highway 1 Discovery Route includes 10 wonderful destinations: Ragged Point/San Simeon, Cambria, Cayucos, Morro Bay Strand, Los Osos/Baywood Park, Avila Beach & Valley, Edna Valley, Arroyo Grande Valley, Oceano, and Nipomo. For our vacation, we stayed in Cambia. Just about 14 years before (we estimate it was 1 week shy of exactly 14 years), we drove through Cambria, stopping to get a snack at the grocery store and fuel up with gas, before continuing on to San Francisco. The girls were 2 and 2 months old, and it was our first vacation as a family of 4! We vowed to come back and stay in Cambria, and we finally made that happen! It was worth the wait.
The California Highway 1 Route has everything you could ever want in a weekend getaway. Natural beauty, preeminent wine regions, amazing outdoor adventures, and delicious restaurants. We enjoyed all of that and more during our stay. We also discovered that it was perfect for families, couples, and multi-generational travelers.
Here is part one of our family travel adventure in Cambria.
We arrived in the early afternoon and drove through downtown Cambria. The streets are lined with restaurants and shops and it is what you would imagine in a storybook. Since check-in time for our hotel was a couple of hours later, we decided to check off something that was at the top of our lists to do. Visit Moonstone Beach!
The beach has a charming boardwalk to stroll on and then there are stairs down to the beach from there. We planned to spend a half an hour looking for Moonstones, but we ended up spending more than two hours. The whole family went on a Moonstone hunt and we had so much fun collecting some really unique colored rocks. There were also these huge pieces of wood on the beach that Emmy loved climbing all over!
We were also really excited to sample the cuisine that the region is known for. Fresh, farm to table food that has a fusion of flavors is what excited us. We were blown away by our lunch at Wild Ginger. Not only were the offerings unique, but there were vegan and vegetarian items on the menu along with traditional options. This is a restaurant that we will be returning to whenever we are in the area.
After lunch, we headed to our hotel, El Colibri Boutique Hotel & Spa in their king queen room. This suite has an area with a king bed, one with a queen bed, and then a sitting area and large spa bathroom. It is located along Moonstone Beach and we found it to be both comfortable and stylish. This one-of-a-kind artisan built hotel is a blend of hand-crafted natural materials and it is tucked in a California State Parkland preserve.
You can probably sense a theme right? Nature activity, relaxing hotel, delicious food… that was pretty much our vacation goal for this trip and we nailed it!
Dinner was at Robins Restaurant out on their back patio. This is a dog-friendly restaurant with a menu full of fresh and healthy options. We don’t drink alcohol, but we heard that they had a great collection of wines and amazing desserts. We also don’t eat sweets often, but we were really tempted here.
Everything we had was really good. They had dishes that were vegan already and some that they offered right away to make vegan. Although this too is perfect for those that follow a traditional diet too. The brussel sprout appetizer was quite possibly Ashley’s favorite dish ever. I agree, it was amazing and the flavors melted together perfectly.
We walked along the streets in Cambria after dinner sipping coffee and hot chocolate until we got sleepy. We knew that we had a really big day planned for the next day and we wanted to have as much energy as possible to do it all.
We all slept in until 6 am and Pete went out and brought us back coffee and smoothies for breakfast. The hotel is close to the beach and shopping so there are abundant breakfast options.
We wanted to get an early start because we were doing something that we have wanted to do for years, visit Hearst Castle!
Hearst Castle’s history begins in 1865, when George Hearst purchased 40,000 acres of ranchland. In 1919,William Randolph Hearst inherited what had grown to more than 250,000 acres, and was dreaming of ways to transform it into a retreat he called La Cuesta Encantada—Spanish for “Enchanted Hill.” By 1947, Hearst and architect Julia Morgan had created Hearst Castle: 165 rooms and 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and walkways—all built to house Hearst’s specifications and to showcase his legendary art collection.
It was spectacular and a bucket list item for sure. There are a bunch of different tours that you can take, even one that allows you to swim in the indoor pool! I recommend booking your tickets in advance, especially during the busier holiday times.
After your tour, you are given the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor areas until closing, so don’t plan anything for directly after your tour. You will want time to enjoy the gardens and views!

Last week, we went with the Shirts Fam to Utah Lake.
Camden, Alora, Winston and Charlie
The funniest part of this trip was when Matt and Dan got on the tube and Rhonda was driving. She punched it to around 40 mph and the guys didn't even want to let go to signal us to slow down because we were going so fast. In the mean time, Rhonda and I were in the boat chatting and laughing at them. They were pretty tired after that ride.
Me. It felt good to get out on the water again. It's been a while.
Matt ended the evening by slaloming off into the sunset...or away from the sunset. :)

Riverdale & Blackman Get New Coaches; Smyrna Searching
Tuesday, March 17, 2015 4:09 pm
Wendi Scott has been named girls' basketball coach of the Riverdale Lady Warriors. Scott, a former head coach at Lawrence County also spent time as an assistant at Riverdale under Coach Michael Burt in the early 2000's. She replaces Cory Barrett, who resigned after his team was removed from the postseason and he was suspended for a year for throwing a tournament game.
By the way, Smyrna girls basketball has posted a vacant position for a girls basketball head coach. However, Principal Rick Powell told NewsRadio WGNS by email that no decision has been made about Coach Shawn Middleton, whose team was involved in the incident with Riverdale. Powell told us they're "exploring possibilities."
David Watson has been tabbed the next head coach for Blackman football. He replaced Philip Shadowens, who resigned in February. He was an assistant coach at Blackman before leaving to become the first head coach for Siegel football. In 2009, he returned to Blackman and has coached there since. He was defensive coordinator last season and was most recently named interim head coach while school officials conducted a search for a new head coach.

04/12/11— Mexican authorities released a statement stating that they had arrested a man on Monday wanted for the slaying of Border Patrol (BP) agent, Robert Rosas, in July 2009. The suspected killer has been identified as Marcos Manuel Rodriguez Perez, also known under his alias as “El Virus.” He was arrested Monday night in Tijuana after coordinated intelligence between American and Mexican authorities helped lead them to his whereabouts. Rodriguez is one of the three men suspected of killing Agent Rosas. Another suspect, Christian Daniel Castro Alvaraz, 17, had previously turned himself in to Tijuana police and was sentenced to 40 years in prison last year.
Castro Alvaraz stated that the group originally planned to rob Agent Rosas of the night-vision gear and other equipment from his vehicle, while trying to cross into the United States. Agent Rosas had been working as a Border Patrol Agent for three years and was tracking suspected undocumented immigrants on the border near Campo. According to a Border Patrol spokesperson, the migrants Rosas was following split up, at which point he pursued them on his own. The other Border Patrol agents lost sight of him and later found his body on Shockey Truck Trail. Rosas was shot four times, once in the neck and three times in the torso.

A former tenant of the historic Central Pier in Docklands is “baffled” that the 106-year-old site will be demolished to make way for a new development, possibly a giant fish-shaped building.
Heritage experts are also disappointed over plans to raze the pier and its two goods sheds, which were built in 1916 but abruptly evacuated and closed in early 2020 when engineers determined it could collapse at any moment.

Atlantic Group chief executive Hatem Saleh, who ran four function rooms in one of the sheds from 2007, said he was saddened that Development Victoria was focused on demolishing a historic site.
“It is baffling that this is an attempt to really focus on the future and forget about the past,” Saleh said.
Heritage Victoria has issued a permit to Development Victoria allowing the state government body to demolish the whole structure which has continued to deteriorate since its closure and is now too unsafe to access or restore.
With Central Pier to face the wrecking ball in 2023, Development Victoria is now seeking submissions and community feedback on the pier’s revitalisation.

One popular proposal is to replace the pier with a large fish-shaped structure containing a fresh food market, hawker-style eateries, restaurants, a conference centre and a university marine biology campus.
Ian Wight, acting chair of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria’s heritage committee, lamented the fact the pier’s condition had deteriorated to the point it was unsafe.
“It’s totally regrettable that a heritage asset like this has been allowed to decay to that extent,” Wight said.
“We should never have been in this position in the first place. It should have been conserved and maintained.”

Saleh was part of a group of Central Pier businesses that launched legal action in late 2019 alleging Development Victoria engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct.
The business owners claimed the government agency knew for almost a year that the pier risked “catastrophic failure” but delayed acting in an apparent attempt to avoid spending tens of millions of dollars on repairs and compensation payments.
Saleh said some smaller businesses had withdrawn from the lawsuit after settling with Development Victoria. The case is expected to be heard in court late next year.
Saleh also said the pier should not have needed to be redeveloped.
“My job was to pay the rent and their job was to maintain everything below [the water’s surface]. I did my job and they failed to fulfil theirs,” he said.
“It was a thriving, successful hospitality precinct … Central Pier was the heartbeat of Docklands.”
Development Victoria acting group head of precincts Niall Cunningham said $7 million had been invested since 2017 on rectification works to stabilise the pier and engineers had inspected the structure every two months since 2018.
“Removal of the pier was the only option available to resolve ongoing safety concerns,” he said.

Designer Nick Tate, who has floated the idea for the large fish-shaped Melbourne City Fish Market, said he started planning the concept six years ago as he felt the pier was a wasted space.
“Central Pier had a purpose, but it was more of a night venue than a day venue and wasn’t being used to its full potential,” Tate said.
“This is to create a drawcard.”
He said he would reuse timber from the pier to retain some of its heritage if his proposal was approved.
However, Wight said he wanted to see a replacement pier with the same dimensions and style as the old sheds.
“We’d be much more sympathetic to a reconstruction that respects the buildings, function and history of the pier we’re going to lose rather than trying to chase yet another elusive iconic Melbourne building to match the Sydney Opera House,” he said.

Birthday and Book
I just had one amazing birthday. It was not a milestone one with fanfare but it was a wonderful celebration of me!
Last week I decided to check in at Taal Vista Hotel for four nights to fast track the writing of my next book. After the third night I started missing my boys but the exercise of writing every single day with minimum distractions proved very helpful. Moreover, chunks of alone time also make you reflect and get to know yourself more. If there’s anyone we need to really know very well, that should be ourselves, so I recommend a good amount of alone time at least once a year.
The plan was for the boys and my siblings and in-laws with their families to come have birthday lunch with me in Tagaytay on Sunday. But on the eve of my birthday at around 6:30 pm, my husband Marvin arrived ahead with a bouquet of flowers and a surprise gift. Now that was lovely!
My oldest son Martin was the one who invited and arranged the lunch in a quaint place called Marcia Adams, a taste of Tuscany in Tagaytay, complete with theme for our outfit.
On our return home we heard mass at our parish. In our parish, the priest would call the celebrators for special blessings – usually on the first Sunday for birthday, and on the third Sunday for wedding anniversary. It’s interesting to note that in August when the wedding anniversary celebrators were called, there were only a few of us who came forward. On the other hand, last Sunday I was joined by a lot of September babies. While August may be an unpopular month to start anything because it’s perceived as the ghost month, December seems to be a preferred time to conceive babies. I was pleased to have the canonization of Mother Teresa fall on my birthday. She’s probably the only one who had been called a saint even before her canonization. For us born before September 5, 1997, we witnessed how she lived her life and earned the title The Living Saint.
On the following day, a group of friends arranged a lunch to sawa birthday celebration for me. I’ve been regularly seeing this group of moms for the last 14 years, since my youngest son Anton was in Prep. We’ve seen each other through thick and thin, quarterly exams, graduations, ACET, UPCAT, etc. We’ve shared hundreds of stories about our children, husbands, careers, challenges, and many more.
When I say through thick and thin, I also mean that literally. We’ve seen some get pregnant, gain and lose weight, then gain and lose it again. At the end of our long lunch, we “signed a pact” to do something about it. We made it more exciting by agreeing on an end date. Our group’s movie enthusiast who cries even while watching comedy but can also manage to laugh at the most stressful times of life, Bebet, is turning gold in six months. We convinced her to have a Bollywood-themed party and here’s the big project: To lose inches around the waistline in time for the event!
Of course the initial reaction was “No! I can’t do that, etc.” but in the end we agreed to just do it! Just like love, “It’s better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all.”
I have always been a believer in simplifying things in order to make it more sustainable. Some use the weighing scale. Some use the BMI (Body Mass Index), which is computed as weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters squared.
For me, I just watch one measurement – waistline. Here are some of the reasons why.
1. At first, it was all about vanity. You have limited outfit choices when your waistline is equal to or bigger than your hips (and chest).
2. The waistline is the single best marker of high-risk internal fat. The BMI does not give you a measurement of fat nor does it give you information about the distribution of fat in your body.
3. A big waistline signals too much visceral fat, the fat around our abdominal cavity where important organs such as liver, pancreas and intestines are located. This fat plays a dangerous role affecting how our hormones function.
4. We all need some amount of visceral fat but according to numerous health studies, too much of it increases our risks for the following:
a. Type 2 diabetes
b. Heart disease
c. Breast cancer
d. Colorectal cancer
e. Alzheimer’s disease
f. Musculoskeletal disorders
5. Watching your weight is not very effective to me because sometimes I gain weight just because I’ve been drinking too much. On the other hand, a few pounds less registered on your weighing scale might just mean you’re dehydrated. Besides, muscle weighs more than fat.
6. It is easier to carry around your measuring tape compared to a weighing scale.
7. The waistline increase is not easily observable by the people around you, especially when you know how to choose your outfits. It takes a while before your arms, legs, face and chin start adding fat that others can notice. By that time, it means you’ve increased your waistline significantly and you might need Cohen or other sorts of programs to rescue you. So watch the waistline and you will nip in the bud unwanted weight gain.
My project with my mommy group is called 5Bs – Balik Bewang para sa Bollywood Birthday ni Bebet. We agreed to do the following:
*Take current waistline minus desired waistline by March divided by 5 (instead of 6 to make room for Christmas and other challenges)
*The result is the reduction in waistline that we should achieve per month. Example: 31 – 26 = 5 / 5 = 1 inch per month.
To achieve this, we will fix our diet (not an abrupt one but a doable one as some of us still want our rice!) and incorporate exercise. Note that 80% of the result will come from diet and only 20% from exercise.
It’s also a society problem
Do you know that obesity is a growing problem all over the world? In the US more than 2 out of 3 adults are considered overweight and obese according to the National Health & Nutrition Survey done in 2009-2010.
The Philippines is not far behind. Oftentimes, on Sundays I have this queer habit of observing people who receive communion in church. I count with my fingers how many have protruding abdomens. My estimate for the last three years of this unscientific survey is that around 30% of Filipinos are abdominally obese.
Check this out. According to the National Nutrition Survey of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) their 2013 survey results state that 3 out of 10 Filipinos are obese! This was a big jump from the 16.6% in 1993. When I saw this, I was happy and marveled at my survey skills! But on second thoughts, I was also sad to realize this phenomenon.
The reason for this rise is the change in lifestyle. Our diet has become too processed, salty, high in carbs and sugar, and not taken at proper time. This is coupled with lack of exercise and sleep. And I think we also have to point out this social factor. We have tiptoed around hurting health-challenged people. See, even I refused to just say the word. At least I didn’t say “healthy” (or malusog) which is absolutely the wrong term to use! Okay let me say it: FAT! Yes, we have become too cautious in saying fat and come up with all sorts of euphemisms. Nobody can dare say, “Uy ang taba mo na?” without the risk of losing that friend. Nobody says, “I think you have to stop eating now.” even as we see someone eating as if he were in an eating contest. But we can easily say, “Stop smoking! That’s bad for your health!” “Don’t drink too much, take care of your liver!”
So what do we do with this? I think we can start by choosing from among our family and dear friends. Choose the ones you really love and would understand that you’re reminding them not to insult them but to help them care for themselves. It’s not an easy task but showing love always takes risk.
Guidelines for Your Preferred Waistline
I heard from Dr. Oz a long time ago that our waistline should never go beyond twice our height. So it goes like this. If you are 5’3” (or 63 inches) in height, your waistline should never go beyond 31.5. However, this is the maximum and should not be the goal.
For women like me who have given birth a number of times the task is even greater to go back to the original waistline. Aside from the normal weight gain that goes with aging, there’s also what a gym instructress once told me, “It’s extra skin due to pregnancy!” Nonetheless, we can either look for excuses or work to achieve a realistic goal.
First let’s take our Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHR).
WHR = Waistline divided by Height
Example: If your waistline is 26.5 inches and your height is 5’3” it will be 26.5 divided by 63 = 0.4206 times 100 = 42.06%
Below is a table that shows you reference points to help you set your your waistline goals.
So take your pick and commit to it. Add some fun by asking family and friends to join you and set a deadline, hopefully a happy event. I hope I have convinced you to watch your waistline not just for vanity but for health reasons. Let’s break up with our love handles and say hello to our healthier and sexier selves!

Canada’s new indigenous and northern affairs minister says consultations for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women will begin within the next couple of weeks.
In an interview with the Canadian Press, Carolyn Bennett says the Liberal government’s pre-inquiry consultations will involve families of victims, provincial and territorial governments, and other organizations.
Bennett says establishing the terms for the inquiry, its mandate, and how many commissioners should conduct the work will be key.
The Liberals campaigned on a promise to spend $40 million over two years on the long-awaited study.
BC-based advocacy groups caution the federal government not to go down the road that BC government did with the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry.
They say former attorney general Wally Oppal’s probe failed to consult families of the missing and murdered and the province has failed to implement many of the recommendations, including transit service along the Highway of Tears between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

THE Korumburra community has rallied around the family who lost their home to a fire on Tuesday, November 19, just weeks out from Christmas.
Since then, the family’s been inundated with donations, including clothes and other necessities.
At one point, they had eight microwaves willing to be donated.
Shortly after 8am on Tuesday, Jacinta Reeves, who lived at the house, noticed that it had begun getting hot, and quickly realised that there was a fire in the house.
The family say the fire started in the front bedroom of the house, possibly due to an electrical fault.
Jacinta and single mother Pamela Presage began getting her three young children, aged two, eight and ten, out of the house, and called for emergency services.
They were taken to hospital and the children were cleared straight away, while Pamela was kept in a while longer to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Pamela’s daughter Rhiannon, who now lives in Churchill, said that she got a phone call telling her what happened, and she headed straight to Korumburra to try and help her family.
“They got out of the house with literally the clothes on their backs,” Rhiannon said.
The house was a rental property and the family did not have contents insurance.
Family friends in Korumburra and Leongatha got to work finding Pamela and her children somewhere to stay and getting some of the essentials together for when they find a new house to move into.
Mel Allman has been organising the donations in Korumburra and has been overwhelmed by the support from locals and Korumburra businesses.
“That’s the great thing about living in a small town, when there is a crisis, we all do whatever we can to help out and make sure everyone is alright.”
Mel says they have received enough clothes for the family, and someone has even donated a whole house of furniture.
Mel and Rhiannon say that the best way to help them get back on their feet now is by donating to the GoFundMe page that has been set up. Search for ‘House fire devastates Korumburra family’.
The family praised the actions of staff from Korumburra Primary School, which the children attend, saying that the principal and a social worker came down to the scene to offer their support.
The school has also donated new uniforms to the children, and the school community has given them some second-hand uniforms as well.
“The most important thing for us right now is to get mum and the kids back together and under the same roof, with all of the things they need,” Rhiannon said.
“Mum wanted me to say that she is extremely grateful for all the help and donations and kind words she has been given these last couple days, it’s been a really tough time, but everyone has been amazing.”
A fundraiser event is in the process of being organised to raise further funds. Details will be put up on the ‘Korumburra Community Noticeboard’ Facebook page.
Mel says anyone with donations can contact her on 0403 277 362.

Speaking at the digital LA Blockchain Summit, Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman, Heath Tarbert, said U.S. regulation lags behind crypto and blockchain.
"I would be the first to agree with you that innovation is unlikely to come from the government," Tarbert told interviewer Anthony Pompliano on Oct. 7 as part of an event segment on the role of digital securities in the derivatives market. Tarbert explained that the private sector often leads innovation, with regulators' carrying the job of overseeing such advances. He added:
"I see my role as a regulator as not so much innovating ourselves, but we want to be innovative for a regulator, but not necessarily innovate for the community, but we've gotta keep up."
Since the birth of the crypto and blockchain industry roughly 11 years ago, U.S. regulation in general has failed in keeping pace with the quickly developing sector, often using a heavy handed approach. Initial coin offerings serve as one example, bursting onto the scene throughout 2017. In response, regulating bodies came in heavy against this new method of fundraising. As a result, token sales are now all but extinct.
Ripple's XRP, which has been one of the top crypto assets since 2013 according to rankings from a CoinMarketCap historical snapshot, serves as another example. XRP saw a lawsuit earlier in 2020 claiming the asset as a security — a ruling that should have been clarified years ago.
Many regulatory growing pains seen in the crypto space relate to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, although regulation as a whole has some catching up to do.
Tarbert assumed his role as CFTC chairman in July 2019, joining the scene amid significant technological advancement following closure on the 2008 market downturn. "It was a good opportunity for us to revisit our mission," Tarbert explained. The commission crafted an updated mission statement. The CFTC desires "to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of U.S. derivatives markets through sound regulation," Tarbert said, quoting the mission statement.
"Of those, vibrancy is the one that gets at the innovation, gets at the innovation point that we don't want our markets to be stale, we want them to be continuing to develop and be innovative."
The current landscape, however, appears contrary to this stated desire for innovation. U.S. traders still have a difficult time as many crypto exchanges ban U.S. participants, fearing the country's stiff regulatory scene. Crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX is one of the most recent examples of these related consequences.

To get a good harvest of fragrant and beautiful fruits, the apple tree must be pruned annually. It is generally believed that in cold climates, tree pruning should only be done in the spring, but this is not true. Even in Siberia, you can successfully prune an apple tree in the fall. In this section, we will discuss all the nuances and rules of autumn pruning of apple trees in a harsh climate. Our recommendations and advice will be useful not only for beginners, but also for experienced gardeners.
Why cut an apple tree
To get a good harvest of fruits, it is not enough just to plant a young seedling and wait for the result. It is important to engage in plant formation from the very beginning of its cultivation. This will allow you to form a beautiful crown of the fruit tree, making it a decorative element of your garden. In addition to external changes, cropping will allow:
- Heal the plant, prevent the development of diseases and insect parasitism.
- Properly distribute the flow of nutrients in the body of the fruit tree.
- Increase the quantity and quality of fruits.
- Provide access to sunlight to each branch of the tree, which will contribute to uniform ripening of apples.
- Improve air circulation in the inner crown of the crown and prevent the development of rot.
- Make fruit branches strong and reliable.
If you do not control the growth of the apple tree, then soon the spreading plant will reduce the volume of fruiting or stop blooming altogether. Also, the result of the formation of excess greenery can be a break in the branches and the death of a fruit tree.
Apple pruning is carried out depending on the age and condition of the fruit tree. The following types of trimming will be highlighted:
All three types of pruning can be done in the fall. At the same time, it is very important to choose the best time period correctly and follow the basic principles of work. We will try to highlight all the nuances of pruning apple trees in autumn in Siberia for beginners and experienced gardeners later in the article.
Best time to trim
You need to prune fruit trees at a time when they are dormant: in late autumn or early spring. Autumn pruning is considered to be more gentle, because before the onset of spring all the wounds on the wood will heal and the plant will grow without delay and stress. Under the condition of low winter temperatures, rot, diseases do not develop on the cut, and pests do not parasitize. Thus, the question of whether it is possible to prune apple trees in the fall has an unambiguous answer: it is possible and necessary!
Given the length of the fall period, it is important to determine the exact timing of when to prune trees. The time must be chosen so that there are no leaves on the apple tree, and 3-4 weeks remain before frost. Under such conditions, the movement of sap in the body of the plant has already been stopped, and there is no threat of freezing.
It is worth noting that some gardeners are also engaged in pruning fruit trees in winter, but this is fraught with damage to the skin, breaking of fragile branches, and partial freezing of the crown of the plant.
Pruning apple trees depending on the age of the plant
A young apple tree is considered to be up to 4 years old. At this time, you need to regularly, every autumn, prune the tree so as to correctly form its crown. An apple tree is called old, the age of which has reached 20 years. Such fruit trees reduce yields and produce poor quality fruit. To restore vitality to the apple tree, it must be rejuvenated by deep pruning. In the period from 4 to 20 years old, the fruit tree requires molding and sanitary pruning. How to properly prune a tree at a certain age can be found in the sections below.
Pruning young trees
To make it easier for beginners to understand the principle of pruning young apple trees, we will give a picture that clearly demonstrates the sections of the crown to be removed.
Depending on age, the following sections of the crown are removed on the apple tree:
- A one-year-old seedling often does not have side branches, so it is recommended to cut its top so that several buds remain below, which will eventually become skeletal branches.
- In the second year, you need to form the skeleton of the apple tree by removing excess branches. You only need to leave 2-3 side branches. It is recommended to cut them by about 1/3 of the length. This will allow them to grow faster.
- In the third year, you need to thin out the crown, leaving last year's branches and cutting new shoots by a third. Branches growing downward or at a very sharp angle to the surface of the trunk should be removed.
- In the fourth year, you need to duplicate all the operations that were performed in the third year of growing the seedling. Branches that excessively thicken the crown of the tree are also subject to removal.
Important! When removing a third of the branch, you need to make sure that there are growth buds on the left shoot.
Depending on the variety, the apple tree can form branches in moderate to large numbers. Some hybrids are characterized by self-regulation of green mass growth. For varieties with a lush crown, it is very important to correctly form the crown of the apple tree in the first 4 years. In this case, further pruning of the tree will not be difficult.
Pruning adult apple trees
Adult apple trees need to be pruned annually, removing broken, dry and diseased branches, excess crown. When carrying out the operation, it is important to follow the principles and rules of pruning. For beginners in gardening, it is very convenient to use ready-made schemes for the formation of adult apple trees.
We will try to consider the main ones in more detail:
At the time of planting an apple tree, you already need to think about which formation scheme will be convenient to use in the future. The decorative qualities of the plant, its fertility and vitality depend on the scheme. Having chosen the formation scheme, it is enough to remove the corresponding branches from year to year in order to get a beautiful, healthy tree with abundant fruiting.
Rejuvenation of old trees
Healthy apple trees that have reached the age of 20 can be rejuvenated by removing most of the crown. If the tree is sick, then such a procedure is likely to be pointless.
You need to rejuvenate old apple trees for several years. Global removal or over-pruning of branches can lead to the death of the fruit tree. So, there are two rejuvenation schemes:
- The traditional scheme recommends cutting the skeletal branches in half on the old tree over the course of several years. In general, the shape of the crown should resemble a triangle, as shown in the picture below. Pruning of branches should be carried out in stages over 3-4 years. You can cut off no more than 2 meters from a branch at a time.
- The modern way to rejuvenate old apple trees will also take 3-5 years. The first stage of the work is to remove the crown from the south side of the tree. You need to leave a "hat" 2 m wide and 3 m high. After the branches on the south side of the apple tree grow and bear the first fruits, you need to carry out such pruning on the north side.
Rejuvenating apple trees is an excellent alternative to planting young seedlings. After deep pruning, the tree with renewed vigor builds up a lush green crown, begins to actively bear fruit. At the same time, the yield and quality of the fruits of the crop will noticeably improve.
The formation of trees depends largely not only on the preferences of the gardener and the tendency of the variety to form branches, but also on the tallness of the fruit trees. Some apple trees, in the absence of formation, can grow up to 12 m tall. To determine the required cutting height, refer to the following table.
Thus, we tried to give graphic and textual, detailed information that will allow a novice gardener to understand the principle of pruning and choose the best crown formation scheme depending on the age of the apple tree.
Basic rules for pruning trees
There are some important rules to follow in order to properly prune your tree and cause minimal damage to the plant. They are suitable for both autumn and spring pruning:
- More than three large branches cannot be cut in one season. That is why it is recommended to form fruit trees from the first years of planting so that you do not have to "clean" the crown of neglected plants.
- It is better to pinch a branch at an early stage of development than to cut it off later.
- Dry, broken and diseased branches must be cut back to healthy, fresh wood.
- Do not leave hemp on the tree. The branches must be cut as carefully as possible so as not to damage the skin on the trunk or a healthy branch left.
- The branch should be cut at an angle towards the bud (picture below).
- When shaping the crown, only a sharp and clean instrument should be used.
- All cuts should be protected with garden varnish.
- Weak branches need to be cut deeply so that they grow stronger. Vigorous branches need light pruning.
- During the pruning of branches, you cannot climb a tree, since you can harm yourself and the plant in this way. Use a ladder to reach the very top of the plant.
- Use a pruner to remove small branches.
- You need to start pruning a branch from the bottom. After a shallow cut is made, you can finish off the wood from above. In this case, the branch will not damage the wood on the mother trunk if it breaks.
The correct and incorrect ways of pruning shoots above the bud, as well as the consequences of an erroneous operation, are shown in the picture:
In addition to the information provided above, beginners can be advised to watch the video:
The video clearly shows the whole process of pruning apple trees in the fall. Having compared all the important points, having studied the rules of pruning and choosing the best time for the event, you need to sharpen the tool and get down to business. We wish every gardener good luck and a good harvest.

At every level he’s played, local basketball standout Jose Alvarado has had doubters who have questioned whether not he’s good enough to play at the next level.
Well, those same doubters can simply look at the roster of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans to see how their comments have affected Alvarado.
Not one bit.
In his rookie season, Alvarado has been seeing occasional minutes on basketball’s biggest stage. The 23-year-old 6-foot guard hails from Williamsburg and began his journey to the NBA right here in the Diocese of Brooklyn.
While attending P.S. 200 in Queens, Alvarado played Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) basketball at St. Ann’s, Flushing. It was here that his passion for the game developed, thanks to the dedication of his coaches at every level.
“Thank God for my parents who put me in the right situation,” Alvarado said. “Playing in the CYO league helped me so much. It helped improve my game and make me feel confident that I could do it. The coaches trusted me and just let me be Jose.”
Jose being Jose wound up leading him to Middle Village’s nationally renowned basketball powerhouse: Christ the King H.S. He spent all four of his high school years playing for the Royals and as a senior averaged 17.9 points per game – good enough for a spot on the CHSAA’s ‘AA’ All-League First Team. He was also a three-time Tablet All-Star from 2015-2017.
“Coach (Joe) Arbitello and the whole coaching staff at Christ the King do a tremendous job on young kids such as I was,” said Alvarado. “They prepared me mentally and physically for the next challenge.
“It’s a high school, but it’s not a regular high school. Coach Arbitello brought in guys who played in college who told us stories, and we’d learn from them.”
From there, Alvarado spent the next four years at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. As a senior last March, he helped guide the Yellow Jackets to an ACC Conference title while also earning Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Yet despite these accolades in college, Alvarado was not selected in the summer 2021 NBA draft. The Pelicans though signed him to a two-way contract – intended for players to spend part of their season in the NBA as well as the NBA’s G League for developing players.
“I heard all the doubters saying I was too small and might be just a good college player,” Alvarado said. “I never really paid mind to it. My whole life I’ve heard everybody saying, ‘He’s good, but there’s something about him that won’t allow him to make it.’ I was never that flashy, but I was also the guy who was going to try to win.”
So far in his first season, he’s been soaking it all in and learning as much as possible from his coaches and veteran teammates – while also learning from his mistakes. A highlight of the season just passed, when on Jan. 15 the Pelicans visited Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets back in Alvarado’s old stomping grounds.
“It was the first time since Christ the King that I was back home,” said Alvarado, who also said he had chills as he walked into the arena. “It was crazy to see my parents with an NBA jersey on.”
In professional sports, it’s all about an athlete getting an opportunity and then performing well once that opportunity arises. We’ll see how things turn out for Alvarado as he continues establishing himself in the league. All he’s done at every level is keep his head up, work extremely hard, and always try to be the best version of himself.
“I knew once I had my opportunity, I’d take care of it,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been doing my whole life.”

Housemarque's mysterious new project is seemingly being published by Sony.
Housemarque, the Finnish studio behind Resogun, Nex Machine, Alienation and other arcade-like games, announced earlier this year that it's ramping up production on its "biggest and most ambitious title yet".
At the time, the developer announced that it had shelved in-development battle royale shooter Stormdivers, which the studio knew had little chance of succeeding in that busy space.
The new project was said to be published by a third-party partner, but Housemarque didn't say who that was at the time. Now, according to Gamereactor.dk, the game's publisher is none other than Sony, who plans to make the game available at the launch of PS5.
The site doesn't mention what kind of game it is, and Housemarque never dropped any official hints. The developer has, however, expressed a desire to create a more modern game that doesn't hearken back to the classics. Whatever it may be, its development is an undertaking big enough to assemble the studio's biggest ever team.
If the game is indeed a PS5 launch title, there's a good chance we'll hear about it this Thursday on the PS5 games event. Given recent history, there's nothing like a Housemarque game to kick off a new generation.


Miami Heat snapped Philadelphia 76ers’ 14-game home winning streak, beating them 108-104 on Wednesday.
At playing Wells Fargo Center, the Heats point guard Kendrick Nunn was the highest scorer of the game, playing with 26 points

For the 76ers, Joel Embiid performed a double-double with 22 points and 19 rebounds as Power forward Tobias Harris scored 20 points.
Miami Heat improved to 20 wins and 8 losses, while Philadelphia Sixers dropped to 20 wins and 9 losses.


Moore Re-Commits to Trojans
The rollercoaster ride that has been Byron Moore's recruiting process came to end Wednesday morning.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back from Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne, sent his letter of intent to the University of Southern California after decommitting from the Trojans over a week ago.
Wednesday, Moore announced he wouldn't venture far from home. With help from his head coach, Moore went for the USC hat.
"My relationship with the coaches - coach Carroll, coach Norton and coach Seto was great," said Moore. "Every time I met with them, they always laid out a plan for my next four years.
"I just felt the most comfortable with them. I want to just stay home and play in front of my family and friends."
For Moore, the recruiting process presented doubt every step of the way.
"It was a tough decision," Moore said during his press conference this morning. "I sat down last night and made the decision with my family. I wasn't really sure."
The decommitment had opened the door for schools such as Notre Dame, LSU and Colorado.
"It was a long process," he said. "I sat down and looked at all of the schools I had and evaluated them. I looked at all the pluses and negatives and then took trips to Notre Dame and Colorado. I loved their campuses and coaches.
"Being close to USC, I was at a lot of their practices and took an unofficial visit Thursday. I saw their business school and loved it."
Rumors swirled around the reason for Moore's wavering, but the senior explained his concerns regarding USC as nothing more than uncertainty.
"I was still looking around and taking trips," said Moore. "Out of respect for the coaches, I de-committed from SC. I needed to feel comfortable about looking around.
"The coaches understood and that's why they kept fighting for me all of the way until the end. Now I'm a Trojan"
This wasn't the first time that Moore's recruitment stirred up controversy; in late June he decommitted from UCLA and gave his verbal commitment to the Trojans after he received an official scholarship offer at USC's Rising Stars Camp.
"I've always followed SC, ever since I was 7-years-old," he said after the camp. "I just had to follow my heart and my heart was pointing me to USC."
Moore made his name in high school as a safety, but the general consensus is that he will get his first shot with the Trojans as a cornerback.
"Nickel and free safety are the positions I want to play," he said. "Coach Carroll talked about their needs for safety and where they see me playing at. They want me as the deep man in the middle like Taylor Mays, but also in the nickel like Josh Pinkard."
As wide receiver, Moore had 40 receptions for 733 yards and eight touchdowns in 2008. On defense, the Rivals100 selection had 25 tackles and three interceptions.
Beyond his obvious skills on a football field, it was important for USC to maintain their dominance over the rest of the country recruiting the very best local players, especially those from the City Section.
Stay tuned to USCFootball.com for the latest on Byron Moore as he prepares to enter USC this summer.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Auction money league. NL only, 10 teams, with 25 players and 3 DL spots per team, so player availability is almost non-existent.
Was in last place in mid-May, Roto league, 7 categories (standard plus OBP and slugging for hitters, and QS and holds for P). Moving into a relevant position took most of my FA auction budget. Continued to adjust roster all year. Now in 4th place, 1 point behind 3rd (money) spot, and 2.5 behind 2nd.
Down to $3 left in auction budget so cannot stream willy-nilly.
Need help in W, K's. Holding onto 1st place (and 10 points) in WHIP and ERA.
So the question ... do I start Lincecum against the Yankees?? Picked him up for $1 on June 4, and he has provided team 7 wins, 113 K's, 11 QS and a not-terrible 3.99 ERA since then.
So start him vs. Yankees? Streaming options are garbage and teams are fighting like North Korean housewives for fresh dogmeat over the available SP'ers so going that route is not an option.
Normally I would say..."if you own them...start them".
However, I would not start Lincecum in this case.
1) He still isn't that good.
2) The Yankees are fighting for a playoff spot.
3) The game is in NYC (I might start him if the game were in SF).
4) AL rules apply so there is no gimme at the end of the lineup.
Oh...and I think Lincecum sucks.
- 1 Reply to Dick Strong
Lincecum has value in NL-only auction leagues with 10 teams, and 25 roster spots. It would be equivalent, obviously, to a 20-team dual league format ... at that point, any starting pitcher who can provide 10 wins and 185 K's has value.
But yes, in standard 12-team, dual league format, he no longer has value. And I am leaning towards not starting him due to the fact that the game is in Yankee Stadium.

Please advise if I should opt for petrol or diesel variant given that enjoying the drive is my main lookout?
By: Manish on 11 march 2016
From the point of view of driving comfort, the diesel variant of Volkswagen Polo scores over its petrol counterpart due to the following reasons: better mileage (20.14 kmpl vs. 16.47 kmpl), better engine displacement capacity (1498 cc vs. 1198 cc), better engine power and torque (90 PS at 4200 rpm and 230 Nm at 1500 – 2500 rpm vs. 75 PS at 5400 rpm and 110 Nm at 3750 rpm).

Today is the day all the newly elected White County officials and their deputies were sworn into their new positions. Judge T. Scott Webb addressed the full courtroom of families and friends with an exhortation to patience for dealing with the public.
"Patience is going to be a virtue. You're going to meet people at their most difficult point in their lives...people are going to be confused, upset, and sometimes mad. You're gonna be cussed, and be in situations that are not pleasant. Nevertheless, ask God to grant you patience and kindness for everybody..." he concluded.
Deputy officers were also sworn in by Judge Webb. Shannon Johnson, Brittany McDonald, and Brandi Rawlinson were sworn in as Deputy Treasurers; Theresa Knasel, Lacy Stubblefield, and Staci Huffer as Deputy County Clerks; Marilyn Bryant as Deputy Supervisor of Assessments; and Sheila Headlee, Kari Starks, Craig Poole, Justin Spencer, Matt Wicker, and Michael Brown as Sheriff's Deputies.

The Raven is a Wicked Bird
The rest of the song is explaining how he ended up in his prison. It doesn't describe the prison walls. It doesn't describe the Raven itself. Only a dark haired woman, bathing in a creek. And his love.
Ravens remember everything, everyone who hurts them, everyone who helps them, and who to trust. When we meet ravens, they fill us with dread, because they eat the dead. They appear when we are weak. They are a good omen, and a bad omen.
Is the Raven truly a wicked bird? The Man killed Kate McCannon. The woman he loved, he slayed her because he found looking at someone the same way she looked at him. He knew who she was, and loved her. But he didn't see her. His sin was that he loved without knowing. And he killed his love.
Kate McCannon was simply doing what Kate McCannon does: bathe in the creek. The Man thought that he could change her, and he did. He killed her.

Fabric Scrap Shoes
This is not my first time at the shoe making rodeo. Typically I have made pairs for my children (booties and chucks), but from time to time I whip up a pair for myself (whale slip ons and cameo mary janes). After a recent trip to Nordstrom where I was eyeballing a pair of colorful Toms I had new shoes on the brain. Today over at BlogHer I spotlighted the most adorable pair of Toms made to look like owls and it sealed the deal - I must make myself some new shoes.
Plain Shoes (I got mine from Pearl River)
Fabric Fusion Glue
The first thing I did was raid my stash of fabric scraps. I don't hardly sew a lick, but nothing gets me more excited than coming across a bag of vintage quilting fabric scraps at a flea market. I have used the scraps to make ping pong ball necklaces, bracelets and more. Anywhoo, get your scraps together. The more random the better as far as I am concerned.
Using Liquid Fusion glue I started attaching my scraps to my plain white shoes. I diluted my glue with water and applied it with a paint brush. I would trim, glue and brush as I went. There is no right or wrong way. The more wet the fabric is the easier it is to mold to your shoes.
One tip is to fold the strips over the edges of the shoes to give it a nice finished look.
Rather than covering the straps in scraps I opted for some vintage quilting yo-yo's that I had.
After the shoe is completely covered how you want it allow the shoes to dry completely.
After the shoes are dry they might be a little stiff. A few rounds in the washing machine and some everyday wear should help with that.
I could have spent $40 at the mall, but I like my own custom quilted pair of shoes even better.

Viva Mexico! Scream your lungs out at Penn’s Landing
The commemoration of the 204th anniversary of Mexico’s Independence will be held at Penn's Landing with the traditional “Grito” ceremony and new celebrations for the whole family.
"This will be the fifth time I have the honor and privilege of leading the ceremony at Penn's Landing. We will also have the opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mexican Cultural Center (MCC),” said Carlos Giralt-Cabrales, consul of Mexico in Philadelphia.
The free festival will be held on Sunday, Sept. 14 beginning at 1 p.m. In addition to Mexican artists and musicians, several restaurants in the region will compete for the title of the "Best taco in Philadelphia."
The consul extended an invitation to all city residents to experience the most traditional part of the Mexican Independence celebration: “El Grito.”
This part of the civic event alludes to “El Grito de Dolores” (Cry of Dolores) by priest Miguel Hidalgo, who is credited as the father of Mexican Independence. He rang the church bell in Dolores to call his parishioners to an announcement of revolution against the Spanish. Consul Giralt-Cabrales will once again take center stage with the Mexican flag to passionately cry Viva Mexico!
"Every opportunity I have to be in front of my community is different, but equally rewarding. Nothing gives us more pleasure than sharing this important date with other communities", Giralt-Cabrales said. The celebration will conclude with an after-party from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Spruce Street Harbor Park, where the public will be able to enjoy live mariachi music and fireworks, featured at the festival for the first time.
"The festival is an opportunity to talk to people, who are the ones that can give me a sense of what the community feels," Giralt-Cabrales said. "I think remembering the birth of our country is a good opportunity to make an assessment. Where we come from, where Mexicans are (at the moment) and where we are heading.”
He added that the Mexican community, along with other Latin American communities, have had the opportunity to observe the flourishing of the restaurant industry, particularly in Philadelphia. “They have contributed greatly in the production of quality services," Giralt-Cabrales said.
He also highlighted the work of the MCC as a key cultural organization in the region.
"It has consolidated its reputation promoting Mexican culture through good quality events,"Giralt-Cabrales said.
MCC is a non-profit organization that from its inception has promoted the understanding and interest of Mexican culture, as well as its influence in the United States. The center works closely with the Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia to support the growing Mexican community in the regions of Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Southern New Jersey.
"This year from May first to May fifth we ran Mexican Week, and for the first time we had the opportunity to raise the Mexican flag at City Hall. Through these events we saw the value that our art can bring to other communities. Ana Flores, executive director of MCC, has worked to make this new edition of the festival possible, which is an endeavor that requires months of work. I want to recognize that labor," Giralt-Cabrales said.
