Potential Smoking Ban | DiscountCigarettesMall.Com Tobacco News
Potential Smoking Ban
As debate about smoking cigarettes in public swells, city leaders have called a meeting seeking input regarding a potential smoking cigarettes ban in Mobile . A hearing is set for 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Mobile Government Plaza auditorium to give people 3 minutes each to say their piece on how the city should proceed on the matter of smoking cigarettes online cigarettes in public places.
"We are going to discuss smoking cigarettes in general," said Councilman Fred Richardson, "because we have a number of people saying they have just as much right to smoke cigarettes as others have the right not to smoke." Richardson, who leads Mobile's public safety committee, said City Council members have taken numerous phone calls in recent months on the subject.
"I want to hear from everybody," Richardson said. "I want to see (if) they want to ban cigarettes. I want to hear from the smokers, to hear what they feel about that." Those who wish to speak will be asked to sign up before the meeting, Richardson said. The other members of the public safety committee are councilmen John Williams and Jermaine Burrell.
The Health Department and other local agencies have launched a 2-year campaign to try to encourage local municipalities, including Mobile, to prohibit smoking cigarettes in public places. That would include restaurants, bars, hotels, shopping malls and others. Saraland recently passed an ordinance banning smoking cigarettes in all public places, including bars, restaurants and parks.
Last October, the Mobile County Health Department began deducting points from inspection reports of restaurants and bars that allowed smoking cigarettes. Also, the agency has been placing red-and-black warning stickers on the doors of such businesses. Under new rules, smoke-friendly restaurants lose 4 points from their inspection scores. By May, more than 1,700 establishments where food is served had banned smoking cigarettes indoors within Mobile County.
The health inspections — which typically occur 3 times a year — are important in Mobile's restaurant trade, and every point is crucial. After the public hearing in Mobile, Richardson said, "we'll make a decision whether there is anything the council ought to do in light of what the committee has heard."
Richardson, who said Wednesday that he has never smoked, said there are already rules in place that ban smoking cigarettes in some public buildings. "Based on the calls here, we have lots of people who want to smoke cigarettes and lots of people who don't," Richardson said. "It's a tough issue."
Missy Wilson, program administrator for cigarettes control with the Mobile County Health Department, has been meeting with community leaders in efforts to enact zero-tolerance cigarettes for sale policies across Mobile. "There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke," Wilson said.
"The U.S. surgeon general has concluded that ventilation and filtration technologies and separation of smokers and nonsmokers within the same air space do not provide effective protection from the health risks of secondhand smoke. Workers should not have to choose between their paycheck and their health."

Drafts automatically save the current progress of a worker's message before they send it. This allows a composed message to be resumed at a later date, and it provides a backup (e.g. the browser crashes or otherwise unintentionally closes).
Drafts are displayed in a ticket's conversation timeline, which instantly lets other workers know that a response is being sent so they can move on to a different ticket. This prevents duplication of effort.
Similarly, a trainee can ask a supervisor to review their draft before they send a message to a client.

Petrol, diesel prices to remain stable
Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube
Diesel and petrol prices are likely to be more stable from now on after the Government reverted to specific excise duties on these two fuels and on paraffin.
This comes after several months of applying a percentage duty to ensure tax collections rose in line with inflation.
The switch implies that the Government is now reasonably certain that the high level of stability seen in the exchange rate over the last two months is likely to continue and that the Zimbabwean consumer can be given modest protection against fluctuations in world oil prices and a simpler tax structure applied to fuel prices.
In a statutory instrument gazetted on Wednesday, Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube set the duty on petrol at $4,44 a litre and diesel and paraffin at $4,26 a litre.
Since the beginning of August the duty on petrol has been 45 percent and 40 percent on diesel and paraffin.
The percentages were applied to the landed cost of the fuels, that is the Zimbabwe dollar equivalent, at the interbank rate, of the cost of getting them into the country.
The new fixed charges are slightly under the duty figures used by the energy regulator, the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA), in its last price formula table and, so long as the exchange rate and world oil prices do not change, the prices of the three fuels could drop by a few cents per litre.
But the change will be tiny as the minister set his new specific taxes at very close to what his percentage duties were last producing.
Fuel imported under the permitted schemes to be legally sold retail in US dollars have attracted much higher taxes since the beginning of August, US$0,45 a litre for petrol and US$0,40 a litre for diesel and paraffin.
At present exchange rates those
duties translate to more than $7,24 for petrol and $6,44 for diesel and paraffin although the actual duties have to paid in US dollars under these schemes.
But this differential taxation is the main reason why fuel sold legally in US dollars is about 30 percent more expensive at current exchange rates than fuel sold in Zimbabwe dollars.
Despite high duties on petrol, the pump price is lower than that of diesel because it is blended with up to 20 percent anhydrous ethanol distilled in Zimbabwe's Lowveld which brings down the landed price.
Otherwise the landed price is a combination of the crude oil price, refining charges, shipping charges to Beira, Beira port charges and the cost of using the Beira-Feruka pipeline. All these charges are in foreign currency.
The latest Zera table shows the landed cost of diesel at just under US$0,59 a litre and the petrol-ethanol blend price at just under US$0,55 a litre. These reflect the present low international oil prices.
Besides the landed cost converted at the interbank exchange rate, and the taxes, the Zera formula tables show the mark-ups allowed to the oil company, of around 10 percent, and to the service station that sells the fuel to motorists of around 12,5 percent.
For several years, Zimbabwe had specific duties on fuel.
In January these were raised significantly to cope with the serious cheating and illegal re-export of fuel.
They were reduced moderately a little later as the currency allocated to fuel switched from special allocations at 1-1 to interbank rate allocations from late May.
But in his mid-year fiscal review and supplementary budget, Minister Ncube switched to the percentage ad valorem taxes, explaining that he needed to follow inflation.
At that stage he was charging duties of $1,15 on petrol and $0,90 on diesel and paraffin and the switch to percentage taxes saw a jump in fuel prices.
Further jumps were recorded as the interbank exchange rate fell, sometimes sharply, before reaching a high level of stability in the last week of September this year with only marginal monthly falls since then.
The development comes as Government is working flat out to improve the fuel supply situation that worsened last week, resulting in winding queues at most service stations countrywide.
Energy and Power Development Minister Fortune Chasi on Tuesday attributed fuel supply bottlenecks to the rolling over of Letters of Credit (LCs).
LCs help reduce the payment risks on international trade transactions and allows a buyer's bank to guarantee payment to a seller if certain criteria are met.
In view of the prevailing foreign currency shortages, the majority of companies depend on LCs for critical imports such as fuel, raw materials and equipment.
Said Minister Chasi: "There was an interruption last week regarding fuel because it coincided with a situation where there were efforts to roll-over the Letters of Credit, so that caused the queues that we began to see but the National Oil and Infrastructure Company (NOIC) has increased the pace at which it has been collecting fuel from Msasa and we asked them to work round the clock until the situation has been regularised."
He said efforts were being made to ensure motorists did not spend long hours in queues.

Bosham Parish Council have invited us to join them at their annual assembly. Come and find us at St Nicholas Church Hall, Brooks Lane, to see our floor plans and hear about the latest news and developments in our DREAMBUILDING project! Doors open at 7pm and the event runs until 8.30pm approximately. We look forward to meeting you there!


I just recently come across this and couldn't agree with it more. Perhaps more of us should ponder this approach to living.
Stop Calling Me Honey, Please!
Recently, both of my parents managed to end up in the hospital… flu and a broken bone. After a few days in the hospital they moved to a "rehab facility" to speed up their recovery before returning to their home. Luckily, both are making good progress and they should be able to return home soon.
It takes a lot of attention and care to get someone back on their feet – this is probably even more the case if people are in their 80s and 90s, as my parents are.
While in the rehab facility, my parents are fortunate enough to be staying in the same room, which reduces some of the "discomfort' that comes with being away from your home and your day to day routine.
Yahoo finance today discussed the film "Broken Eggs".The 80 minute film covers the looming retirement crisis in America, primarily affecting Baby Boomers -US!
Daily, roughly 10,000 baby boomers are stepping into retirement, reaching their retirement years. Many are not adequately prepared and are primarily relying on income from their social security.
Experts in the film compared this 3 pronged approach to a 3 legged stool. Sturdy and solid until you take one of the legs away and the stool will shake, tumble and eventually collapse.
Why Not Plan a Bike Tour for Your Next Vacation?
Are you an avid cyclist or are you considering getting into the sport? Whichever it may be, biking is a lot of fun and offers many benefits. It's versatile, healthy and you can cycle just about anywhere and anytime! How can you beat that?
So why not take your passion on the road? Pun intended… LOL!
Have you considered taking your next vacation as a biking adventure? Needless to say, you want to go somewhere more beautiful than average. After all, your bike tour should be worthwhile your time and effort. At the same token, you want to choose a place offering safety and some degree of creature comfort!
What follows is a short list of places around the world known for gorgeous views and scenery, particularly as you make your way through the country side on a bike. If you're new to the biking world and want insights into some of the beautiful places you can bike, why not try one of these bike tour destination spots. This should give you some ideas.
Taiwan is world-renown for its beautiful mountain views, crystal clear blue oceans, white sandy beaches, and steep mountains. Taiwan's mountain ranges by themselves are enough to make you want to pack up and head out right now!
But Taiwan is great for more than just biking; it's good for surfing, swimming, parasailing, jet skiing, and more! However, if you're more of a beginning biker or look forward to a more relaxing biking vacation, Taiwan may not be the way to go. The country has many steep mountains and may offer rather rugged terrain. In short, it's not every body's cup of tea.
Next up on the list is France. France is beautiful, filled with lots of culture and unique landmarks. Yes, there is a reason they host the most famous bike race in France!
Whenever you take a bike tour in France, you're sure to get exactly what you pay for. Most tours are fit for a king (or queen) and are jam packed with luxurious trips to the most famous vineyards and villages in France.
Going on a bike tour in France or somewhere close by would be fit for either a beginner or a moderate level biker because they have some of the mildest and calmest routes available. So pack a camera and get ready for a time you're sure to remember!
Heading over to North America, the most gorgeous and romantic place to bike has to be in California. One of the largest states in the USA, California boasts ocean views to die for, vineyards that go on for miles, redwood forests that take your breath away, and mountain views comparable to Taiwan's.
California's terrain is best suited for moderate to advanced bikers, as the tours generally go on for an extended period of time and can really take the wind out of you if you're ill prepared. California bike tours are a great way to vacation with your spouse and let your mind wander due to the romantic sun draping itself across the Pacific and the five-star views you will see.
Ireland is also a great destination for bike touring. The island is green for miles and will leave you feeling a little magical. The sight of the uninhabited countryside alone will convince you that you have the luck of the Irish in you. The meals there are wonderfully prepared and contain more Irish culture than you can imagine.
The above places are some of the most popular destinations for bike excursions. But really, there are endless places to consider when you're planning a bike tour in the future.
Check with a travel company or a specialty tour company to find out what routes they offer and then choose a tour catering to your likes and your physical capabilities as a cyclist.

Ten reasons why we won't fund you
Grantholders
Policies and stuff
Our four themes
We have less than half a million pounds in total to award in grants. This is not very much: if we are to do any good with it, we must spend wisely and purposefully. We cannot cover every need. So we are restricting ourselves initially to four themes that relate to the family members inspiring Thomas Deane Trust: see Who we are.
Environmental Eric and Joyce Thomas worked hard for a wildlife trust on their return to England after living in Canada for 16 years. The trustees have broader views on what types of "environment" Thomas Deane Trust can and should support; and we hope to have a clearer offer under this theme for Round Three or Round Four.
Music Specifically community music, and hence community arts more generally – art work that helps develop and sustain communities, to build identity in individuals, and to exploit music's inherent power to make change. Eric Thomas passed on his love of music to Sue Thomas at a very early age; and it is central to her identity that she is a "violinist". Kathryn Deane spent most of her working life managing and developing community music and musicians.
Advice work That is, advice and information work to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people. Eric and Joyce Thomas spent not only money but crucially time in helping and supporting many individuals over their lifetimes. Sue Thomas spent almost all her working life in advice work.
End of life care Sue's parents were active supporters of hospices, and Eric Thomas and his older daughter Ann died being cared for in their local hospices. Sue Thomas and Kathryn Deane cared for Joyce Thomas in their home in the last years of her life. We have an interest in how to improve end of life care whether in hospices, at home or in hospital.
The trustees may make changes to these themes at any time.

A focal point of the living room, an entertainment center can be a highlight piece of furniture, especially when eyes are looking directly at the accompanying TV! There are many details to consider when choosing the right entertainment unit for your living space, which will influence price, look, and functionality. Ready to be an entertainment center expert? Read on to discover our top things to consider when choosing an entertainment center.
This is the full entertainment center that surrounds and holds the TV, additional entertainment equipment (speakers, DVD/Blu-Ray players, gaming consoles), and includes drawers, cabinets, and shelves for storage and display space. Entertainment centers are impressive focal points because of their size; this can be a benefit if you are looking to use it as the center of attention in the living room. However, the sheer size of an entertainment center may dominate a small room, leaving it feeling cramped. They also tend to be the most expensive choice for housing a TV.
Simpler in function but found in countless style choices, TV stands work well in a room of almost any size. The idea is simple: a cabinet to place your TV on top of, with shelving or cabinets below for storage. Many TV stands at Pittsburg Interiors feature glass-front cabinets or open shelves, which allows you to display small decor items or easily access entertainment equipment. With TV stands, another option is to mount your TV on the wall, leaving the top of the stand for additional decor space.
Once you know the type of unit that will work best in your space and needs, it's time to consider style. Find an entertainment center that matches your existing décor; if you already have a certain shade or type of wood furniture, complement or match it. Some modern units are made of metal or glass, featuring crisp, clean lines. Traditional units are more often made of wood, sometimes featuring glass cabinet windows. Country or cottage units are a popular choice for a homey, sometimes vintage feel. They often feature lighter wood or a distressed painted finish.
Before purchasing your entertainment center, there are several measurements you will want to know.
First, know your TV. TV measurements are based on the diagonal measurement from corner to corner. Most TV stands or entertainment centers will clearly say the largest size TV they can hold. Also measure the height and width of your TV. This will come in handy to ensure your TV fits comfortably inside the unit, without the TV hanging over the front of the unit or not having enough clearance to fit inside the TV space.
Second, measure your room. Know the floor space you have available, both from wall to wall and from viewer to TV. We suggest that for a 29 inch TV, you should allow for between 3 and 4 feet of open space. A 39 inch TV requires 4 or 5 feet of space, a 46 inch TV needs 5 or 6 feet of space, and anything larger requires between 7 and 8 feet of space.
Armed with this information, you can come to Pittsburg Interiors with your preferred type, style, and necessary measurements ready. Our selection of units will fit almost any specification, and include brands such as Aspenhome, Sunny Designs, and Jofran. We also offer 12-month interest free financing once you've selected your perfect unit.

Almost there! One day to go until we complete the circumference of mainland Britain. Today we will continue along the north Devon coastline and into Somerset.
White Lady in the Valley of Rocks near Lynton.
We made our first stop of the day at Westward Ho! Beach, still looking a little sleepy. 😉 The unusual village name came from the local author Charles Kingsley's book Westward Ho!
We don't normally photograph pebbles, but these were lovely pebbles…. if you can call pebbles 'lovely'?!
Overlooking the River Toridge at Appledore. We briefly parked up on the Churchfields Slipway, but there was a parking attendant lurking around, so we moved on…
Fishing boats moored at Bideford.
The medieval Bideford Long Bridge reflecting in the calm River Torridge. The stone bridge is one of the longest of its age in the country.
More reflections, this time on the River Caen at Velator Quay near Braunton Burrows.
Skirting around the flat fields and marshlands of Braunton Great Fields. The area is Britian's first Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO.
Saunton
Jarno busy with a little more sand-graffiti at Saunton Sands.
There were plenty of surfers taking the day off from work….
…and as we left and drove around the headland to Croyde Bay we had a magnificent aerial view of all the surfers at Saunton Sands.
Around the headland Croyde Bay and views to Baggy Point. A lovely crisp and fresh November morning.
Yet more surfers in Croyde Bay, looking back from Baggy Point.
Looking through some house gates at Baggy Point, this was their driveway and view – pretty cool!
Woolacombe
After several country lane diversions which lead us on a long journey inland, we finally ended up back at the coast on the north side of Baggy Point at Woolacombe. The beautiful wide open sands of Woolacombe Beach in Morte Bay. The beach is considered one of the best in the world, often winning prizes.
Then looking north from Woolacombe Beach, past Barricane Beach and Grunta Beach to Morte Point.
The unusual double conical design of Ilfracombe's Landmark Theatre, also know by locals as Madonna's Bra ; -)!
Ilfracombe was full of surprises, including Damien Hirst's Verity bronze sculpture on the harbour front.
To be honest the picture doesn't do justice to how huge and impressive the Verity statue really was. We loved that a small town had embraced art like this.
The more expected and traditional view of Ilfracombe Harbour.
Watermouth
Some dodgy looking character caught in Watermouth Castle's stocks.
Yachts below the castle in Watermouth Harbour.
Coombe Martin
Coombe Martin Beach nestled in a narrow valley. Random fact of the day – the village holds the Guinness World Record for the world's longest street party!
Parracombe
As we continued our journey east, we drove slightly inland stopping in the tiny village of Parracombe. Winding our way through some of the smallest village lanes on our road-trip we finally found St Petrock's Church up a muddy dirt track.
The calm and quaint church originally dated back 13th century. In the late 19th century the poet John Ruskin helped save the church from demolition with a £10 donation.
As we arrived in Lynton we first made a little detour through the Valley of Rocks. Glorious views west from the Valley of Rocks past the White Lady towards Wringcliff Bay and Woody Bay….
…. and north across the Bristol Channel from the South West Coast Path.
The West Lyn River gushing through Glen Lyn Gorge. In 1890 Lynton & Lynmouth were one of the first places in the country to be powered by hydro-electric power (from the East Lyn River).
The local thatched-roofed pub built down Lynmouth's steep hillside.
Foreland Point across from Lynmouth's seafront.
Foreland Point
Looking down on Foreland Point as we drove up Countisbury Hill.
Views south across the rolling green Exmoor National Park from the National Trust's Foreland Point.
Crossing from Devon into Somerset, we took another detour from the main road. We winded down through the picturesque Porlock Manor Estate Toll Road overlooking Porlock Weir and Hurlstone Point.
Another thatched-roofed pub as we reached Porlock.
Bossington
Horner Water tumbling through woodland to Bossington Beach.
Tall chimneyed cottages lining the narrow lane from Bossington to Allerford on the Holnicote Estate.
Selworthy
The warm glow of the late afternoon sun illuminated the All Saints' Church in the tiny village of Selworthy.
Wow, this is how we imagined Somerset… and we were bang on. Selworthy's cream thatched cottages on the National Trust's Holnicote Estate.
Selworthy Green, and so so quiet, again we were the only visitors as we wandered around.
If you say Minehead to us, we think of Butlins (for the non-Brits – a holiday camp), but the view at dusk from the harbour couldn't be more different…
The sculpture on Minehead's seafront by Sarah Ward, marking the end (or start!) of the 630-mile South West Coast Path.
The view across Blue Anchor Bay back to Minehead.
After passing Dunster Castle, we made our final stop of the day at Watchet, where we found the harbour car-park surround by interesting street-art murals. We then continued our journey via the National Trust's Coleridge Cottage (which was closed) to Bridgwater for the night. Just one day to go until we complete our 49-day British Coastal Road Trip!!!
It's just three days to go before we complete our entire coastal road trip! Today we are finishing off north Cornwall, driving alongside its famous golden sandy beaches, before we re-enter Devon as we drive towards Bideford.
The sun setting as we headed down to Hartland Quay.
Holywell Bay
Long shadows in the early morning sun. We made our first stop of the day looping back from Newquay to the National Trust's Holywell Beach.
Walking past the sand dunes towards Carter's Rocks (AKA Gull Rocks) off Penhale Point.
Shells and their shadows scattered across Holywell Beach.
The Gannel Estuary at Crantock Beach, beside Rushy Green.
So it was a morning full of beaches… next stop the famous Fistral Beach, a surfers paradise, but none out this morning – yet.
Views back across Newquay Bay from the cliffs above the curiously named Lusty Glaze Beach (The Times Beach of the Year 2017)…
…and the view north towards Bedruthan Steps and beyond to Trevose Head.
Watergate Bay
The wide open sands of Watergate Bay, as we headed along the scenic B3276 coastal road.
A small plane flying overhead into nearby Newquay Airport.
The River Menalhyl streaming down Mawgan Porth Beach.
Bedruthan
Peering over the Carnewas cliffs at Bedruthan.
Dramatic views north past Pendarves Island, Queen Bess Rock, Diggory's Island and Park Head. In the distance you can just about make-out Trevose Head Lighthouse.
Treyarnon Bay
Another beautiful empty beach west of Padstow at Treyarnon Bay.
The South West Coastal Path along Chair Cove, behind some rather expensive looking houses at Constantine Bay. Some locals walking a dog stopped to talk to us, and asked if we were bankers!?… it seemed many locals were!
We seemed to be the only people on Cornwall's beaches this morning not walking a dog 😉
A little alley in Padstow, AKA 'Padstein' after its famous local celebrity chef – Rick Stein.
Small fishing boats lining the quay. Quiet at this time of year, but heaving with tourists in the summer.
The coastal village of Rock, beyond the sandbank in the River Camel. We will drive past Rock as we continue northeast, but as we had been last year, we won't stop this time.
Looping all the way around the River Camel, we made a brief stop to watch the surfers on Polzeath's Beach.
Port Quin
Driving past The Rumps we stopped at the cosy Port Quin inlet, taken care of by the National Trust.
Driving to Port Isaac we realised we were going to end up driving right through the tiny village. We had remembered the lanes were really narrow from our trip here last year, so re-routed to park at the top of the village and walk down.
The TV series Doc Martin is filmed in Port Isaac. To be honest we have never watched Doc Martin so weren't as excited as some visitors….
Choppy waters at the mouth of Port Isaac looking towards Varley Head.
Port Isaac Bay, with views northeast to Treknow.
St Teath
Catching another glimpse of Port Isaac Bay over the fields near St Teath.
Wow, what a perfect day to visit. Tintagel Castle is normally packed with tourists, today it was just us and a few seagulls. So if you want to avoid the crowds come on a Monday afternoon in November 😉
The remains of the 13th century castle perched on the jagged slate cliffs.
The castle had been built here by Earl Richard of Cornwall, believing it to be the birthplace of King Arthur.
Boscastle had been devastated by the flooding of the River Valency in 2002, but has since been lovingly restored.
Fishing cottages down the cobbled Valency Row in Boscastle.
Widemouth
Widemouth Beach, popular with surfers, with Dizzard Point in the distance.
The clouds were parting like a zip to reveal the blue sky above Widemouth Bay.
At last!…. beach huts again on Summerleaze Beach at Bude, we had been missing beach huts on this stretch of coast.
The entrance to the Bude Canal. Started in the 1820s with the idea to link the English and Bristol Channels… however it didn't get very far with the arrival of the railway later in the 19th century.
Leaving Bude and heading along the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast towards Morwenstow, the view was dominated by the satellite dishes at GCHQ Bude.
Morwenstow
Before leaving Cornwall we stopped at Morwenstow, Cornwall's northernmost point. We had intended to walk to the Hawker's Hut along the cliffs. But a very muddy field was slowing our progress, we weren't exactly sure we were on the right track, and light was fading fast. So we made do with the Church of St Morwenna and St John the Baptist across the fields.
Hartland Quay
On the way to Bideford, we made our final stop of the day at Hartland Quay. As we drove down the coastal track the sunset reflected beautifully off the car bonnet. Originally we had planned to also stop further along the coast at Clovelly, but it seems it was probably closed, and it would have been dark by then anyway. Oh well, we will leave Clovelly for another trip!
We will be driving just over one-hundred miles today as we head along the south coast of Cornwall to Land's End, and back up the north coast towards Newquay. The weather has improved from yesterday's miserable effort – yay!
The stunning Porthcurno Beach.
Portleven
After leaving our base for the night at Helston, we drove straight down to the coast at Portleven to take in the early morning views back down the west side of the the Lizard Peninsula.
Portleven Harbour was just waking up on this early Sunday morning.
At Rinsey Cove we walked down to Wheal Prosper, an old engine house that was used to pump water out of undersea copper and tin mines. Even the National Trust car park had been built above an old mine shaft.
Wow, what a position for a house. Perched on Rinsey Head with magnificent views across Mount's Bay to Mousehole, Black Rock and Lamorna.
Marazion and St Michael's Mount
St Michael's Mount across Mount's Bay came into view as we drove towards Marazion. Over the years the original Abbey on the island was absorbed into a fort, then later a grand house built by the St Aubyn family. When we have time we would like to go back and take the ferry across to explore the small island properly.
Penzance was a curious town, and like Falmouth yesterday, it was larger than we had expected. Walking down Chapel street we came across the unusual Egyptian House.
Further down the road there was a Cornish pirate on the roof of the local pub (Admiral Benbow Inn).
Cutting down to the harbour, tall palm trees surrounded St Mary the Virgin Church.
The very smart and newly renovated Penzance Jubilee Outdoor Bathing Pool. Remind us, where are we again? It looked like the Mediterranean not Cornwall…
More pirates at the next pub!
The Newlyn South Pier Lighthouse at the entrance to Newlyn harbour, just southwest of Penzance. The harbour is home to the largest fishing fleet in Britain.
Yes, you read right, there is a place called Mousehole. What a cool name, though it is actually pronounced 'Mowzall'. We stopped by the Rockpool Cafe to look at the views across Mount's Bay….
…. and south to the granite cottages overlooking Mousehole's harbour front. We then set-off to wind our way through its narrow Cornish lanes.
Continuing on towards Land's End, we drove alongside a trout stream, through the beautifully wooded Lamorna Valley, down to Lamorna Cove.
Waste from the cove's 19th and early 20th century granite quarries was precariously heaped down the hillside. The cottages looked a little to close to those huge boulders for comfort. The quarries had been used to provide granite to build London's Thames Embankment.
The view out past Black Rock to Mount's Bay. Wandering around the quay, we noticed this sign on the way back to the car… bit late.
The cove's waters were crystal clear.
No chance of having our morning coffee here, the Lamorna Cove Cafe was closed until next year.
The truly spectacular open-air Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, with its stunning turquoise sea backdrop. The brainchild of Rowena Cade, who started building the theatre with her gardener in the early 1930s, a true inspiration. The entry fee also included access to a small but interesting exhibition telling the theatre's story.
The theatre really was the highlight of our day. We would love to come back in season and join the 80,000 people that enjoy a performance here every year.
Porthcurno Beach, next to the Minack Theatre, was equally impressive. The golden sand and the turquoise sea were glowing in the midday sun.
Finally we reached Land's End, the most westerly point of mainland England and Cornwall. Land's End should be 838 miles by road from the most northeasterly point of mainland Britain, John o' Groats. However, after leaving John o' Groats on day 24, we traveled the long way around! 😉
The rather brutal looking Longships Lighthouse, just off Land's End on Carn Bras.
Waves crashing over the rocky coastline surrounding Land's End.
We had great views north from Land's End across the rather choppy Whitsand Bay to Cape Cornwall.
Driving north along Whitsand Bay, we arrived at Pendeen and the National Trust's Levant Mine. Like Wheal Prosper this morning, these were the remains of engine houses that pumped water from the undersea copper and tin mines.
The National Trust had restored many of the buildings, and the site contains the only remaining and operating Cornish beam steam engine in the world.
From the Levant Mine we could also see Pendeen Watch Lighthouse, looking out across Cornwall's northwestern peninsula. Though it was tricky to get a good shot, as it was so windy.
Carn Galver
As we passed another National Trust mine at Carn Galver, the coastal road started to feel more barren and windswept.
St Senara's Church in the small village of Zennor. Alphabetically, Zennor is the last parish in Britain…. random fact of the day! 😉
Continuing along the B3306 towards St Ives we had sweeping views past Treveal to the Atlantic Ocean.
Arriving in St Ives, we made our first stop at Porthmeor Beach looking towards St Nicholas Chapel on the headland.
Waves were crashing against the rocks below the Southwest Coastal Path.
Salty sea spray filled the the afternoon air behind Porthmeor Beach and the Tate St Ives.
As we left the town we looked back at the Harbour Beach and the St Ives New Lighthouse at the end of Smeatons Pier. We had seen its identical twin lighthouse yesterday morning at Mevagissey…. who would have know this trip would lead to a deeper lighthouse interest and knowledge! 😉
Gwithian
Looking back across St Ives Bay and kite-surfers enjoying the breeze at Gwithian Beach.
We look a bit cold at windy Gwithian Beach!
Godrevy Island and its lighthouse, northeast along Gwithian Beach.
Godrevy-Portreath Heritage Coast
Driving along the cliff tops towards Portreath we stopped to peer over the edge of Hell's Mouth towards Navax Point.
Then a little further along the coastal road, the red North Cliffs seemed to be crumbling away. You can just make out St Agnes Head in the distance.
Looking behind us, golden sun-rays were bursting through the cloudy late afternoon sky.
Continuing our journey towards Newquay, we made a quick stop to look down on Porthtowan Beach.
The National Trust Chapel Porth Beach was nestled into a cosy quiet cove just south of St Agnes Head.
The sunlight had almost gone by the time we reached Perranporth Beach, hence a slightly grainy picture! But the Watering Hole cafe lit up on the beach looked quite inviting. Newquay was our next stop for the night.
Today we will be driving down to the most southerly point of mainland Britain, having already visited the most westerly, northerly and easterly points earlier on this trip! The unpredictable British weather has generally been kind to us along our journey, but today will be very wet…
Fishing boats at Cadgwith Cove.
After leaving St Austell we followed the St Austell River to Pentewan. We were going to get soaking wet if we had walked to the beach, so made do with visiting the village set-back from the seafront.
Leaving Pentewan heading to Mevagissey with views over the rolling fields to the coast.
Mevagissey was still slowly waking up on this rainy Saturday morning. Everyone else had clearly decided it was better to stay in bed.
Mevagissey still has a working fishing harbour, but it was very quiet this morning.
Gorran Haven
We had just driven down the crazy narrow Church Street into Gorran Haven.
A stream tumbling down Gorran Haven Beach.
Porthluney
A few paddle-boarders were testing the waves at Porthluney Beach, at the foot of the Caerhays Estate.
Portloe was a really cosy coastal village. It had a lovely genuine feel to it.
The small boat slipway nestled into the valley.
A rather rocky looking entrance to the tiny harbour.
Pendower
As we arrived at the National Trust Pendower Beach the heavens opened and it absolutely poured with rain. After a while we made a quick dash for the beach with our umbrellas, and through the rain manged to catch views across Gerrans Bay.
We then continued our journey down the Roseland Peninsula to St Mawes.
We had visited St Mawes and the castle last year with Julian's parents, so we just made a brief stop in the small town. However, we still managed enough time to squeeze in a morning coffee and sausage roll from the famous local Curtis bakery.
The passenger ferry to Falmouth in St Mawes Harbour.
St Just in Roseland
St Just's Church tower peeping above the trees through the church lych gate.
The 13th century St Just's Church in a charming wooded valley overlooking Carrick Roads.
Exploring the church grounds.
The church was quite compact inside, it felt almost chapel like.
King Harry Ferry
Avoiding a long trip north via Truro, we cut across the River Fal from Philleigh to Feock on the King Harry Ferry.
The ferry captain kept watch as we crossed the river.
A surprisingly large Dutch ship was anchored in the River Fal.
Exploring the National Trust Trelissick grounds, looking down to Channals Creek and the River Fal. Still raining!
We made our next stop at Falmouth, which was much larger and busier than we had been expecting. It actually made quite a nice change from the quiet fishing villages. We discovered the port is the busiest in Cornwall.
Yay! Finally we found some 'beach huts' in Cornwall at Falmouth's Discovery Quay.
Falmouth's Custom House Quay, with Flushing and Carrick Roads through the drizzle in the background.
Pendennis
From Pendennis Head we could just about see across to St Anthony Lighthouse south of St Mawes.
Gyllyngvase Beach
Gyllyngvase Beach just south of Falmouth, overlooking Falmouth Bay.
Gweek
As we continued our journey south to the Lizard peninsula we crossed over the Helford River at Gweek.
Goonhilly
The satellite dishes at Goonhilly Earth Station suddenly appeared on the horizon, so we made a quick stop at the nearby Goonhilly Downs National Nature Reserve to take a closer look.
Coverack
Coverack Beach and Cove with views over to Lowland Point. The small village was still recovering from a flash flood that had damaged property and the sea wall earlier in the year.
A sunshine yellow fishing boat adding a bit of colour to this grey day.
Cadgwith Cove felt like another cozy and authentic Cornish village.
Cottages nestled around the narrow streets.
Finally we made it to The Lizard.
The Lizard Lighthouse, dating back to 1752, sitting above the lighthouse keeper cottages.
Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland Britain.
On day 17 of our coastal road trip we visited the most westerly point of mainland Britain at Ardnamurchan. On day 24 we visited the most northerly point at Dunnet Head. On day 35 we reached the most easterly point at Ness Point. Then today (day 45) we finally reached the most southerly point at Lizard Point!
And it was so quiet, just us and another couple. Hint, to miss the crowds visit on a cold rainy late Saturday afternoon in November! So that was our final stop of the day before we drove back up the western side of the Lizard peninsula to Helston for the night.
Day 44 – Plymouth to St Austell
On day forty-four, after visiting Plymouth, we are heading into Cornwall. So join us on our journey along the beautiful southwest coast…
A hungry seagull (aren't they always?) at Polperro.
Fishing boats being prepared for the day at Plymouth's Sutton Harbour.
Smeaton's Tower and the Royal Citadel along Plymouth Hoe.
Smeaton's Tower was originally built as the lighthouse at Eddystone Rock off Rame Head (we will visit later today). It was then moved to Plymouth Hoe as a memorial to John Smeaton, its engineer.
We were really impressed by Plymouth's Royal William Yard. Originally built for the Royal Navy but now redeveloped with shops, restaurants, offices and a harbour. Very nicely done.
Sculptures on the lawn in front of the New Cooperage.
A recipe for Ships Biscuit curiously carved into a stone at the entrance to the Royal William Yard.
Tor Point
On the ferry heading from Devonport to Tor Point. Travelling west to Cornwall on the ferry was free (you only pay sailing east). We like a bargain! 😉
More watery roads along the Cornish coast.
Bright green fields above St John, looking down towards Whitsand Bay.
Cremyll
Although we entered Cornwall by ferry at Tor Point, there was also a passenger ferry landing at Cremyll.
Looking back across the River Tamar to the Royal William Yard.
The clock at Cremyll's ferry landing.
The grand Mount Edgcumbe House overlooking Cremyll and the River Tamar.
Driving through Kingsand to Cawsand we got stuck behind a delivery truck. With no way to pass, you just have to be patient. We used the opportunity to nosey in the windows of the cute coastal cottages.
Cawsand Beach and Bay. Just out of the picture there was a couple preparing for a morning swim around the bay. Rather them than us.
Painted tiles decorating the waiting shelter of the seasonal Cawsand Ferry.
The clouds started to clear as we arrived at Rame Head, so we had a little hike up to St Michael's Chapel on the headland.
There were amazing panoramic views along the coast, looking as far east as the Great Mew Stone in Wembury Bay.
Looking back down the headland to the National Coastwatch Institution buliding by the car park.
Whitsand Bay and Tregantle Fort above the cliffs to the northwest.
There were plenty of Dartmoor ponies precariously grazing around the headland cliffs.
Choppy waters at the foot of the cliffs.
Whitsand Bay
We then continued along the coastal road past Treninnow Cliff and Freathy.
Rame Head silhouetted against the bright sunlight across Whitsand Bay.
The 1865 Tregantle Fort along Military Road. Still open and working. As we drove past we could see training in progress.
Looking down the wrinkly coast to Portwrinkle 😉
Portwrinkle Beach with Rame Head still visible in the distance.
Small boats neatly stored on end by the water's edge at Portwrinkle.
Downderry
Driving through a patchwork of fields along the B3247 to Downderry.
All along this coastal journey we've passed so many abandoned farm houses and barns… so they haven't all been converted yet!
Amazingly Rame Head and St Michael's Chapel were still visible in the distance from Seaton Beach.
We stopped at bustling East Looe for our first Cornish pasty. As we looked across the East Looe River to West Looe, the seagulls were keeping a beady eye on us (or rather our pasties).
Looking down the breakwater to the calm sea in Looe Bay.
The breakwater walls were full of wooden wedges. Very curious. Maybe to help hold the wall together?
A telescope by the sandy East Looe Beach.
Our next stop was at Polperro. The village was admittedly very quaint, but felt very surreal, like a ghost town. Most of the shops and cafes were closed and there was hardly anyone around, unlike our previous stop at Looe. Clearly a tourist village now, which is a real shame as out-of-season there seemed to be no locals to keep the place alive, so it somehow lacked soul. We also had to pay the highest parking charge of our entire British coastal road trip here too! Maybe that's why it was so quiet. We only stayed 45 minutes but had to pay £4.50 to park, which was the minimum charge (3 hours).
At least the seagulls seemed happy with the range of seafood.
The locally famous 'House on the Props', precariously hanging over the stream.
Lansallos
Winding our way through more narrow country lanes we passed the small hamlet of Lansallos, and Saint Ildierna Church.
Lantivet
The lanes got narrower and narrower as we passed Lantivet. Grass growing down the middle of the road is never a comforting sight. Fortunately it was so quiet, so we didn't have to make any difficult reversing-all-the-way-back-down-the-country-lane manoeuvers!
Lantic
Passing the secluded National Trust Lantic Bay.
Polruan
Gribbin Head in the distance from the headland at Polruan.
From Polruan we looked across to Fowey and its Parish Church.
We then took the Bodinnich Ferry crossing over the River Fowey. Taking the ferry saved us a 15 mile detour (and a precious 35 minutes of daylight) inland via Lostwithiel.
Looking back to Bodinnich Landing as we crossed to Fowey.
We squeezed our way through Fowey's narrow streets (fortunately one way).
Picturesque Charlestown, our final stop of the day before heading to St Austell for the night.
Square rigger tall ships reflecting in the small Georgian harbour. The attractive harbour was originally built for coal imports and copper exports. More recently the harbour has been used for period film and TV productions.

As mobile data connectivity and voice control become more common features in cars, live broadcast radio continues to be by far the most popular source for entertainment and information on the road, a recent study commissioned by the EBU shows.
Automotive data connectivity received a boost in 2018, partly due to European legislation mandating a connection for safety purposes, and partly also due to an increasing ambition on the part of manufacturers to provide internet-based services to their customers. This adds to connectivity established through mobile phones, that are tied in to the car's entertainment system via Bluetooth audio or platforms such as Android Automotive or Apple CarPlay. These trends are expected to increase in pace during 2019 and beyond, opening up a valuable new market for in-car media and entertainment.
With in-car listening being a key part of broadcast radio consumption – especially in countries such as Finland, Italy and Portugal, where the car is the primary place for radio listening – the question is: What effect is increasing mobile data connectivity having on radio consumption?
To help give an answer to this question, the EBU commissioned an online survey from GlobalWebIndex, involving 1000 UK-based people aged 16 to 64, to ask how they currently consume content within their car.
Of the respondents who say that they drive a car at least once a month, 71% regularly listen to live radio, ahead of CDs or cassettes for 37%, and streaming services for 33%.
While half of car drivers still rely on FM/AM transmission, one third has adopted digital radio. With DAB+ digital radio now being included as standard on almost all cars sold in the UK (ahead of European legislation mandating digital terrestrial broadcast reception in all new cars sold across Europe within 2 years), this shows that awareness of digital radio in cars is rising.
40% of regular drivers have a connected car, with 24% connected through their smartphone and 16% as a platform embedded in the car. In terms of operating systems, Android Auto has a slight edge powering 32% of connected cars, trailed by Apple CarPlay (28%) and other manufacturer platforms (24%). Despite cars becoming increasingly connected, current listening behaviours suggest that this has yet to change how drivers use the in-car infotainment ecosystem. This market could become more fragmented as additional platforms such as Alexa (either embedded in the car or as the Amazon Auto after-market adaptor) starts to appear on more car models.
Voice control is an area that Alexa could show its strengths. The survey asked respondents whether they used voice-control for any particular tasks while driving. Half of all drivers said they used voice-control, mainly for making or receiving calls (34%), to play music (22%) or to command the navigation system (22%).
The conclusion is that live broadcast radio (increasingly through digital radio) is still the most popular form of entertainment and information for drivers. While increasing connectivity in the car, as well as integration with voice-controlled digital assistants, may be on the horizon, there is still a way to go to convince consumers to switch.
* Editor's note: An original version of this article incorrectly communicated a result of the survey, suggesting that a 71% share of all listening in cars was live radio. We've corrected the statement to reflect that 71% percent of drivers regularly listen to radio.


There is one step of your skincare that you should never miss: putting on sunscreen. Whether you're headed to the pool or just going about your normal routine this summer, you should be applying sunscreen on your face and neck every day. Why? Because sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer and signs of aging like dark spots and wrinkles. In fact, we believe so firmly in sunscreen because we want you to see the best results from your skincare treatments.
These sunscreens might be less exciting to apply, since they tend to be a bit thicker and feel uncomfortable on the skin. Another big con when it comes to physical sunscreen filters is how often they leave a white cast on the skin. It's one thing to have a ghostly face at the beach when everyone else does too, but it can be a little annoying for everyday wear.
Chemists have found ways to improve on these sunscreens, so you may find the perfect silky sunscreen with physical filters.
There are so many chemical sunscreen options out there, that it can be difficult to know which is best for you. Certain ingredients are better than others. For example, did you know that Hawaii recently banned sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate, as they contribute to the demise of coral reefs? These two ingredients, along with Octocrylene, are also linked to sunscreen allergies so be careful when buying new sunscreens. Essentially, your skin can become irritated when some chemicals in the sunscreen react to UV rays (photo-instability), creating a new irritating substance.
Above all, take care of your skin by wearing sunscreen and reapplying it in the middle of the day. If you're still looking for that perfect sunscreen, bring a hat and sunglasses along to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays.
Keep your skin as youthful as possible by preventing any more UV damage with a good sunscreen today. If you're still trying to fight hyperpigmentation or other UV damage, give us a call today at (312) 971-6902 to schedule a consultation! A chemical peel or laser treatment might help.


Part of El Ten Eleven's success has come from tasteful licensing to Film & TV. Their music has been used in everything from Lexus commercials to the MTV Video Music Awards but the most notoriety has come from licensing partnerships with Gary Hustwit's award-winning design documentary trilogy, Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized. Featuring both original music from El Ten Eleven and scores from Kristian Dunn, the films' beautiful precision are a perfect marriage for El Ten Eleven's meticulously-layered sounds.

Juliette Cummins Week Day 5: PSYCHO III
I know I said that Psycho II didn't need to be made, but if that's true then boy, Psycho III (1986) really really super didn't need to be made. And yet, like its predecessor, the third film in the saga of Norman Bates is better than it has any right to be, and certainly it's far better than you'd expect. It's a supremely enjoyable effort, sprinkled with both disturbing violence and the blackest of humor, but studio mandates forced Norman and his mama into the slasher paradigm; the film is marred by nonsensical murders and a silly ending that primes the pump for yet another sequel. Nowadays, the film has found a bit of a cult following- or maybe horror fans finally reached that "you know, it's not that bad..." point after years of crappy PG-13 flicks- but at the time of its release it was a critical and commercial flop. I guess it's true what they say- there is no God!
The story is simple- that Norman simply ain't as rehabbed as everyone thought he was- but it's the characters that check into Bates Motel this time around that give the film life. There's suicidal nun Maureen (Diana Scarwid), wayward wannabe-musician-cum-motel-employee Duke (Jeff Fahey, at his most unhinged), good-time girl Red (Juliette Cummins, at her most memorable)...heck, there's even actress/director Katt Shea, who gets killed on a toilet and stuffed into an ice chest. Psycho III just does not give a shit, it does what it wants!
I mean, if there's any doubt that this movie plays by its own insane rules, you need look no further than what's got to be one of the most bizarre "sex" scenes ever, where Red kind of pretends to burn herself with a cigarette and Duke does...whatever it is he's doing. It's so great!
And let's talk about how pigged out and sexed up Duke's room was after he'd been there for, like, a day.
Star Anthony Perkins stepped behind the camera for Psycho III, showing a surprising amount of style and confidence for a first-time director. The film looks far better than plenty of its genre contemporaries thanks to Perkins's eye for detail and unique set pieces. Red's phone booth death springs immediately to mind, but there are smaller moments equally notable, such as the scene transition where the crack of light under a door becomes the glistening edge of a knife.
Though the script features a few too many callbacks to the original film (yes, Norman, we get it: the blood!), it does manage to retcon the retcon of Mother Bates that happened in Psycho II. And even though he's...well, a psycho who goes around killing people whenever he feels like it, you can't help but root for that Bates boy. Anybody who likes candy corn so much can't be all bad, right?

Oh, this is beautiful. Nobody gives the Psycho sequels the props they deserve. Necessary? No, but what film is? Roberta Maxwell cracks me up in that movie, though not as much as Dennis Franz in Psycho II. Thanks for giving a shout out to this gem.
you might be surprised at how good Psycho IV is. i'm pretty sure that it was a made for TV movie. i've only ever got to see part of it. it has to do with norman calling a radio show, and it ain't bad at all.
Since I wrote this, I actually have seen IV...and you're right, it's pretty good! Definitely bolstered by a terrific cast. The original Psycho seems so unlikely to spawn a franchise, but somehow it ended up being one of the most interesting horror series.

Drinking water consistently and staying hydrated can be… hard! But as hard as it may be for us to remember, it's that much harder for our bodies to run at their optimum levels without it. What is the importance of water? Why do we need it? What is hydration? And most importantly, how can we get more of it?
Questions like these are especially important for active bodies, including yours, Vie Girl! The more you expend energy (like working out) the more water you need to not only repair your body but to keep it running like a well-oiled machine. Our intention with this post is to not only help you understand the importance of regularly and consistently consuming water but actually learning how to enjoy doing it. Shall we continue?
An average human being can live about 3 weeks, give or take. How long can humans live without water? Humans can live about 3-7 days without water.1 That's not very long which means that it also doesn't take very long to become dehydrated. You don't get hydrated by drinking water occasionally, you become (and stay) hydrated by drinking water consistently.
Hydration is the term used to describe the process of replenishing lost water with water. Simple as that. You can replace water orally (think food & drink) or intravenously (think IV/saline).
Dehydration is just the opposite – the loss or removal of water from your body.
When we fail to provide our body with regularly adequate levels of water, we risk the body's ability to perform normal functions with ease. Dehydration set's in when your body loses too much water without replacement.
Chronic dehydration is no joke either. While you may not think you are dehydrated to the negatively noticeable point, that doesn't always mean you're as hydrated as you should be. Adverse health effects from chronic dehydration can severely affect your organs and lead to cholesterol problems, constipation, kidney stones, liver, joint and even muscle damage.1 So while you may not feel like you fit in the mild or severe category, it's imperative to hydrate daily with both drink and food.
Now that's why the windows fog up at Vie Tacoma location!
Water intake values vary based from individual to individual – no big secret there. But following a few guidelines from the Mayo Clinic can help you find and establish a basal water intake level that's right for you and your lifestyle.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends that men drink about 15.5 cups of fluids daily while women consume about 11.5 cups. Sounds like a lot doesn't it? Good news, about 20% of that recommended intake will end up coming from foods (fruits and veggies) while the rest will come from various liquids including plain water, coffee, tea, and otherwise.
Factors that affect your RDI of water include your overall health, how much you exercise, your environment extreme hot and cold environments) pregnancy and preexisting health conditions. When it comes to exercising, we recommending drinking water before, during, and after your Vie Workouts.
Side Note: Sports drinks (high sugar & electrolyte content – think Gatorade) should only be a relied upon as a source of hydration when exercise is intense and lasts more than an hour.
It's no secret that water is important, if not the most basic and essential nutrient that your body uses every single day and in every single way. Whether it's regulating temperature or helping you release toxins and increase oxygen production during exercise, water helps us feel and function at our very best throughout our day. When we don't consume adequate amounts of water to not only maintain fluid homeostasis, we experience negative side effects of our body's thirst.
Take pride in fueling and healing your body with water. The difference is immediately notable and instantly gratifying. Take pride in your health, set some water goals, and make a plan to achieve them. The work may seem hard now, but it will in time become a habit that your body will reward you for every single day!


While trying to pronounce the strange sounding word correctly several times, I reached out for the amplang on the table.
Biting into the crunchy snack, my taste buds began to digest its intense burst of flavour.
"In Sabah, at the pasar tamu (market) in Kota Kinabalu," said a friend.
"Ah…I see," I reached for another one of the amplang fish crackers.
Hollow, yellow and puffed up just about sums up these small, squarish crackers.
The amplang fish cracker is made from mackerel mixed with tapioca flour, starch, garlic, egg, sugar and salt. It is then deep-fried until crispy.
Unique in size and taste, these delightful deep-fried fish crackers are commonly made and found in the East Coast of Sabah, especially in Tawau.
When cooled, it is packed in plastic, and sold in several sizes such as 250 grams to 1 kilogram. It is later sold to other parts of Sabah including Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu.
Traditionally a local snack eaten by families durin afternoon tea, it can now be eaten anytime throughout the day.
If you know of anyone visiting Sabah, do ask them to bring back a pack (or two) of delicious amplang fish crackers!
Sabah is located in East Malaysia, and the journey to the capital city of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu from Kuala Lumpur by flight takes approximately 2 hours 35 minutes.
There are daily flights to Sabah offered by Malaysia Airlines http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/ and Air Asia http://www.airasia.com/.
For more information, please contact Tourism Sabah Office Tel: +6088-248 698 / 211 732.
Alternatively you could also visit www.sabahtourism.com for more information on Sabah.
this is very useful !
The info is great, thanks. I will have my family vacation in Sabah this August. Keep up writing nice info.
Amplang is one of my favourite snack. Love it!
Amplang is one of the specialties from Borneo. The name "kerupuk amplang" very crispy!
