Generally speaking, blind dates are no one's idea of a good time. It's always a little odd having never met someone, then being forced to be interested in that person's life and hobbies for a few hours. Sure, plenty of good can come of them, but more often than not they're a recipe for awkwardness.
Now, imagine being on a blind date and unable to go home because you're in a whole other state. That's the deal when you sign up with MissTravel.com, a dating service that hooks people up with travel companions with the hope of a possible love connection. The idea is equal parts exciting and horrifying — as you balance the relatively reasonable hope that the other person is fun, charming, and attractive, with a less likely but still valid fear that they'll be psychotic.
Still, the idea of finding love while traveling seemed interesting enough, so I threw caution to the wind, sent in my bio along with some of the cuter photos of myself, and waited to be paired with someone who might be my future husband (no pressure).
It took no time at all for me to receive a list of men who might be a potential match, and it took even less time for me to forward that list to my future bridesmaids (is that weird?) to see which gents they approved of. Answers ranged from "Oh, he's an 'aspiring' professional?' That means he's unemployed," to "I'm just rooting for everybody black," to "Nah. Start all over" — so I did my best job discerning for myself who I would want to spend a couple days with, and decided on a doctor who seemed very well-traveled.
Since our date was being hosted for this article, we had the option of choosing between Washington, D.C. and Mexico. If it had been a real MissTravel date, we would have found one another through the site, like any other dating site and decided on a way to split the expenses of the trip (the impression left by visiting the site is that women are most often being treated by men).
Initially, I was hyped on Mexico, but because of travel warnings, our trip was decided for us: We would hit the nation's capital.
Josh and I texted from the time we were matched up until the day before the trip, and then got ready to see if we were a match in real life. I packed all the warmest clothing I could in a duffle bag to meet the airline requirements and headed to the airport, praying that the snow in the forecast was wrong. After an easy flight, a driver picked me up from the airport and I headed to the Kimpton Donovan in Downtown D.C. — where we'd planned to eat at the in-house restaurant, Zentan.
Josh and I met outside the hotel on our first night for dinner, me wearing my best super long, stretchy, black dress, and he, looking just like his photo (thank goodness) in a jacket and slacks. He was white boy cute — complete with the fresh-out-of-the-shower man bun — and tall, which was nice because I had on the high boots I wear when I'm trying to get chose.
After wasting no time introducing ourselves, we headed inside the restaurant. Right away, it was clear that we shared a governing philosophy for the night: When someone is comping the meal, you eat five dinners. *heart eyes*
We asked the waiter what the best things on the menu were and ordered all of it. Food. Just. Kept. Coming. And we just kept eating, not making too much conversation because we were more interested in stuffing our faces for the first little while. The best thing we had was surprisingly a crispy veggie dish with brussels sprouts, fresh chickpeas, shiso-mustard vinaigrette, garlic chips. Delish.
Even though we didn't speak much, I got the idea that Josh and his doctor buddies party a whole lot. I'm sure after being in school for almost a decade you have a lot of pent-up energy, and he has definitely expended a lot of it. We talked about loving to travel, travel writing, and my longing to visit Thailand. Josh explained to me that, when I get there, a pong show definitely has nothing to do with table tennis. That story was a lot to handle upon first meeting, but it was a good segue to heading out, so we called our Uber to get going to our showing of Black Panther…in 3D!
Josh got all the noms for the movie and really impressed me with his Marvel knowledge, not moving after the ending credits to catch those extra scenes, and cheering when Stan Lee showed up on the screen. He also survived my Hmmphs and I know THAT'S right!-s throughout the movie, and got major cool points for a pretty woke conversation about the possibility of an uncolonized Africa as we spoiled the movie for the Uber driver on the way back to the hotel.
I was glad to hear from the trip's organizers that we were not in the same room, but it was a little off-putting to get to the hotel and realize our rooms were right next to each other. It was pretty dope of Josh to not be a murderer or rapist, or maybe be too tired to do anything terrible to me, so shoutout to him for that… (I kid, I kid, but these are the things that go through women's minds, believe it.)
Later, I had to ask the folks at MissTravel about the implication because the nature of the service lends itself to hyper-rich wannabe sugar daddies thinking they can exchange a fun time for sex and, if things don't go well, potentially releasing this entitlement-fueled anger upon unsuspecting travel partners. PR Manager Paiger Berger told me, "We have guidelines that are made clear to every member of MissTravel on the site. Our intentions are to keep that element off the site completely and anyone who violates these terms and conditions is either suspended or banned from the site immediately."
Fair enough. Because as fun as the concept is, that question has to be asked.
We'd had a great time at the movie, but you don't really talk in a movie, so the next day's adventures would determine the success or failure of the trip. Neither one of us wanted to get up for breakfast, so we decided on doing lunch at one of D.C.'s legendary restaurant's, Ben's Chili Bowl. Both of us had mentioned we were into fitness and health, so we decided to walk to the restaurant, about a 22-minute trek…in what turned out to be 30-degree weather. I was dressed appropriately — thermal shirt, tights under the jeans, boots, sweater, hat and gloves — but Josh didn't prepare for the weather quite so dramatically.
We showed up with him sniffling and me heaving because, as it turned out, I was a little too hot in all those clothes. Ben's was bomb, and we got to talk more about music, being fierce carnivores, partying habits (doctors do it big) and what we planned on doing for the rest of the day. As the conversation went on, we both started stepping closer and closer to the Friend Zone because as it turns out, I'm much closer to "settling in with a good book on the weekdays" 29 and he is much closer to "age ain't nothin' but a number" 29.
Still, he was cool and quite the looker, so I figured there was no point in peacing out on him just yet.
We both wanted to visit some Smithsonian museums, but as we headed into an Uber it started freaking snowing. Look: I chose Mexico. I live in Houston. I don't like the cold and I kid you not, the exact moment I stepped outside, my head started hurting, I started coughing, and my nose turned into a faucet. I didn't want to punk out in the middle of the day, so I soldiered on to the National Museum of American History, where we had to stand outside in the cold for a bit before entering.
The museum was super dope and I got to be weird and share a bunch of random American history information that people probably don't normally care about. Josh acted interested to hear the details of how the Vietnamese took over the nail salon game after the war (it's actually a super interesting story), and to hear about my 23andme.com results that connected me to my Native American and Yakut heritage, so I was all *heart eyes* again for a moment or two.
Sadly, I was starting to feel pretty crummy, and could tell I was going to need to head back to the hotel soon. At the end of a couple hours, I had never been happier to see our Uber pull up because the snow had gotten even heavier and walking anywhere was not even an option.
After a quick trip to CVS for all things cold and flu — it was pretty cool to see Josh turn on his doctor mode and tell me exactly what every each kind of Mucinex did (ALL the big words) — we headed back to the hotel and I passed out cold, only to wake up groggy and weak a couple hours later for dinner around the corner from the hotel at Old Ebbit Grill, a cute little pub with some amazing dishes. We split an oyster appetizer and then ordered our meals…and I was all of a sudden too nauseous to eat.
Seriously, y'all. I was the worst date ever. I ended up going back to the hotel early and taking all the medicine I bought earlier while Josh went out with some friends he knew in the area.
The next morning was super awkward, as we met up for lunch at Wiseguy Pizza (more food I was too nauseous to eat) and got ready to head to the airport. Clearly, Josh and I were not making any kind of love connection, but he was a super cool doctor dude who loved to party, and who advised me to keep his number on hand in case I decided to try any recreational drugs and needed to know what I could handle based on my medical history, or like, wanted to do them with him if I visited his city.
Thankfully, there were no ill feelings about wasted money, just actual ill feelings as I got on a plane to head home to Houston, my chest tight with phlegm, not love and my head burning with fever instead of passion. As a final confirmation of our missed connection, I got the swiftest text when I landed about keeping Josh's name anonymous. Still, the MissTravel thing was fun for me. Yes, it would have been great to meet a future "someone special," but the way it worked out was pretty fun even without that bit (besides the sickness part).
My original idea: "If you're going to have a so-so date, might as well have it on the road, while having an adventure" absolutely stands.

When I was born on September 14, 1980 in Ravenna, Ohio my Afro was, in large part, unremarkable. It was expected. It was natural. At that stage in life, my hair was my own and was simply viewed as a threadlike outgrowth of the epidermis. No one would have termed it a political statement or seen it as a representation of racial pride. It was simply the natural curl of a baby's hair, uncorrupted by public perceptions, deeper meaning or Johnson's baby shampoo. Over time, however, my hair would . . .
This is How You Learn to Love Your Hair
Dear Zora, This is how you learn to love your hair in a world that requires such lessons. First, you remember who gave you that glorious head of curls--your parents, your ancestors, your Creator. Then, you care for it like a treasured inheritance. Loving your hair, like loving your family, your days, your life, requires two things: reverence and effort. To truly love your hair, you must hold it in high regard and you must behave like you do. As you behold it in a mirror or touch its . . .

I see there's a sequel coming out soon to How To Train Your Dragon. I enjoyed the movie. I really enjoyed the soundtrack.
How is it that movie soundtracks capture the feel and texture of the movie so well? And why is it so important that the musical underscore is there at all?
Glad you asked.
The score for a film, the soundtrack, helps us figure out how we feel about the scene we're watching without making us think about it.
At the heart of this is the notion that music and emotions are both states of tension. How emotionally invested we become as the story progresses is a primary function of the underscore, the background music.
Tell Me How To Feel
To get a handle on how important this is, find a 30-second segment of your favorite movie where there is no dialog. Now, this experiment isn't perfect, but you should get the idea. Watch the scene with the sound turned off. This will seem unnatural partly because you've just turned off all of the incidental sounds of movement, the breeze, traffic, doors closing, ad infinitum. But you've also turned off the music.
When you've finally gotten bored with the soundless film, turn the sound back on. You should not only hear the sfx and dialog; the music can make the scene emotionally become 3-D, it will come into vivid focus now as you watch.
The soundtrack is telling you how to feel from one moment to the next, telegraphing your emotional response before you feel it. An artfully constructed soundtrack gives you emotional confidence – what you think you feel due to the action and dialog, the music confirms. A 2-hour movie may change moods continuously, the music leading you from the moment it starts.
Dipping My Toe In
Last year, I had the privilege of working on a documentary project with my friend, Andy Wolf. The project was called "Monster Mansion Memories", and took a historical and behind-the-scenes look at a local Central New York TV show from the 60's.
Andy had done a marvelous job getting clips from "Monster Movie Matinee". He conducted interviews of the cast and crew, piecing together the genesis and production of the show. And though it was a stretch for me both in genre and medium, I took a stab (puns intended) at writing some of the score.
Excerpts from Monster Mansion Memories
Listen to each of the following clips. Each one emotes in its own way. If you're curious about where they fit into the whole production, you can purchase a DVD from Andy's site.

We'll go into some of the mechanics involved for communicating emotion through your music in future posts. When you follow some simple principles, you can very deliberately convey the emotion you're aiming for. It really is both an art and a science!

AkzoNobel revolutionizes color matching in the vehicle refinishes market
AkzoNobel has launched a revolutionary digital system which allows bodyshops to precisely measure and match the existing color on any area of a vehicle.
The advanced system consists of two key elements: Automatchic Vision – the latest generation of AkzoNobel's hand-held device that digitally analyzes color; and Automatchic Smart Search – color retrieval software that provides the optimum matching color formula.
"Quite simply, we are revolutionizing color matching in the bodyshop," explained Henri Bijsterbosch, Global Manager Digital Color at AkzoNobel's Vehicle Refinishes business. "The compact, hand-held Automatchic Vision device uses the latest digital technology to guarantee precise, reliable measurements of color, including curved parts of a vehicle that are traditionally difficult to read."
system is also intuitive and easy to operate, so that only minimal training is needed to achieve accurate measurements quickly. Color readings obtained using Automatchic Vision easily translated into the best matching color formula by the Smart Search software.
"Automatchic is designed to support standard bodyshop processes," added Bijsterbosch. "The software ensures the optimum color match while minimizing paint use, reducing waste and saving valuable time. With colors becoming increasingly difficult to match, Automatchic helps you make an objective choice."
system has been extensively tested with customers and feedback has been extremely positive. "There are fewer mistakes due to the easy, straightforward process," said Vincent Gourdon, Technical Manager at SODIP, a leading French distributor of automotive and industrial coatings.
on the announcement, Simon Parker, Managing Director of AkzoNobel's Vehicle Refinishes business, said: "AkzoNobel color matching tools lead vehicle refinishes. Developing the latest digital technology is another example of our passion for excellence – reducing complexity and making the tools accessible for more people to start working with them."

Come, little sun of mine,
Lay down your head.
Your energy's waning,
It's time now for bed.
But Ma, I'm not sleepy,
My energy's fine.
Look, I've colored the sky now
In great streaks of fire.
Yes, you've colored the sky
In your beautiful rays.
But the world needs your energy
In more useful ways.
What's more useful than these
Pinks oranges and reds?
Why, look how they glimmer
And turn people's heads!
Your work is superb.
You're an artist, I see.
But see what it's doing
To the hues of the trees?
I see, Ma, I see them,
They're bathed in my rays.
Their lush green foliage
Turns yellow and fades.
And see, sun, how shadows
Are lengthened and dark?
You need to stop straining,
Give rest to your spark.
Okay, Ma, I'll sleep now.
But watch over my light
So that in the morning,
I'll shine full and bright.
Yes, sun, I promise,
While your energy's worn,
I'll keep your light shining
Till tomorrow's bright morn.

Completely wrong • Another white monster
The 5 Most Dangerous Wolves Preying on Christians
The big graphic at the very top of the article is a photo of Joel Osteen, and author John Ellis names him as the #1 "wolf;" so I'll respond to what Ellis has to say about Osteen first.
As to Joel Osteen
I know very little about Osteen. I know a lot about what they say who condemn him. And like all the rest of them, Ellis never quotes anything he says verbatim. The condemners condemn what they say he says, but never actually say what it is he says. Compare Free Speech Handbook Guideline #11, "Deal with exactly what the person says."
What Ellis does say deserves to be alarming: that the indication that God wants folk to prosper, runs directly contrary to what Ellis calls a focal teaching of the Gospel, namely "that Christ [sic] followers are called to suffer."
Suffer what?
Poverty? Cancer? Alcoholism? Dementia?
If disability and chronic pain are what Jesus calls us to, then one puzzles that Jesus engaged in so much healing. See, for example, Luke 13:10-16.
As to Jim Wallis
The other "wolf" with whom I am familiar is Jim Wallis. As Ellis mentions, Wallis isn't a household name among evangelicals. Nonetheless, in Ellis's view, he is really, really bad.
Except to the extent that so-called Red Letter Christians have a political agenda, I am probably a Red Letter Christian, too, focusing on the words attributed to Jesus in the Gospels. The Bible itself has no such "clear teaching that the entire book is the word of God," unless, via circular reasoning, one begins with the premise that it's so.
For example, Chaplain Sam, who for a few months preached to us one night a month in chapel at the shelter where I stay, once began his presentation this way: he held up a Bible and said, "Let's pretend that every word in this book is historical fact." And he proceeded with his discourse from there. Problem: as with every other preacher who presents to us in chapel, it is a big game of "let's pretend." Never is there any consideration of how the world might look apart from such pretense. Accordingly, all the non-believers among us simply go on non-believing; and I, for one, can't blame them.

BEIJING • Six Chinese agencies yesterday announced a coordinated effort to tackle Internet and telecoms fraud in the government's latest bid to get to grips with an explosion of such crimes that it says have led to huge financial losses.
Police registered 590,000 telecoms fraud cases last year, up from about 100,000 in 2011, leading to losses of 22.2 billion yuan (S$4.5 billion), state media said. Callers often impersonate officials or authority figures and prey on the elderly, students and the unemployed, tricking the victims into transferring money to the fraudsters' accounts.
China's Supreme Court, its top prosecutor, the Ministry of Public Security, the central bank, the Ministry of Industry of Information Technology and the China Banking Regulatory Commission issued a joint statement vowing to crack down on the scams.
"Telecoms and Internet fraud crimes seriously impact the people's legal interests, destroy social harmony and stability, and must be resolutely punished under law," said the statement on the Public Security Ministry's website.
By the end of October, the agencies must enforce real-name registration for all phone accounts, the agencies said. Renting, lending or selling bank or payment accounts would be a crime, the statement said.
Banks would also soon take a longer time to process money transfers between two different account holders made via the Automated Teller Machine. The new measure will kick in on Dec 1.
The scams targeting the Chinese have even spread worldwide, with Chinese speakers recruited in Taiwan increasingly setting up operations in East Africa and South-east Asia.

Here is a little more in-depth look at some of the modifications that we have made to the Husky TE511
FMF Power Bomb Header & Q4 Silencer– $675
This system fits great. The increase in power and throttle response is very obvious. There is almost six pounds of weight savings over the stock system also. For general off road use, I can give this a whole-hearted recommendation. I find it just a little too loud for street use. It is louder than the older versions of the Q4 that I have on my own dual sport bike. For example, Neena commented that she can hear me coming up the street on this bike, but she had never noticed it with other bikes. As for other choices, the Akrapovic is perhaps the most common other exhaust for these Husky's. They are a nice unit, but I have heard some horror stories about owners trying to get replacement parts for them.
Seat Concepts foam and cover– $159
This seat has literally made the difference as to whether I ride this bike or not. I could hardly survive an hour ride without it.
Double Take Mirror– $46
There are three basic choices for a dual sport mirror; the little Acerbis plastic unit, Emgo folding metal mirror and the Double Take set up. The Acerbis is really not a practical street mirror. I have used the Emgo for years, it works ok, but is a little tricky to adjust properly so it won't fold down in the wind. The Double Take is by far the most useful, with the best viewing area and easy adjustment.
Trail Tricks Revalve- $400, plus any parts needed
In stock condition, I had no desire to really ride the TE511 off road. With a basic revalve the bike improved 100%. I would ultimately like to spend more time developing better settings, but this will probably be enough work for the average rider. The fork needs more time to figure out how to best address the free bleed holes and understand what is causing the rub marks on the cartridge.
Dirt Tricks Rear Sprocket- $109
The ironman sprocket may last as long as the motorcycle does. It is a great choice for a bigger bike with lots of torque, a bike that would normally chew through aluminum sprockets quickly.
Kenda Parker DT Tires- Front $83.95. Rear $199.95
I had wanted to put the Kenda Trackmasters on this bike, but they were not available at the time. The Parkers wear much quicker on the street but work fantastic in the dirt. The front is DOT approved, but the rear is not. Dual sport tires are always a challenge. I like the Trackmasters for being long wearing, but the front does not work as well in wet conditions. So I am still in search of the perfect DS tire.
Flexx Bars -$350
If you follow me, you know that these are a standard set up for all my bikes. I held off on putting them on the Husky because I wanted to really understand how much the vibration affects the ride quality. It is the kind of vibration that comes through the pegs, seat and bars. As the miles rolled on the vibes calmed way down. Even as the vibrations reduced, it was still enough to limit how much time I could put on the bike at one stint. So I finally broke down and added the Flexx bars. They certainly added another level of comfort to the bike, reducing both the vibes and smoothing out the ride overall. Stay tuned for a follow up on this, I am going to add a set of anti-vibration inserts also.

Short Courses
ITS Training and ApprenticeshipsBook course
In an individual's personal or work life they may encounter behaviour that they find hard to understand and difficult to 'manage'. This course gives learners an insight into behaviour that challenges and how to respond to these situations in the most appropriate and supportive way. Learners will examine what behaviour that challenges means, why it may occur and how to promote positive behaviour. They will learn about the importance of effective communication and the vital role of reflection following episodes of behaviour that challenges. Learners will also explore the support available to maintain their own well-being. Behaviour that challenges others is almost always a form of expression (a way of telling us something) and an indicator of unmet needs. The 'challenge' is not the person. The challenge is to understand the triggers for and reasons behind their behaviour. This understanding will help care and education providers alike to develop the proactive strategies needed to reduce incidences of behaviour that challenges in the future.

Isaiah, a willing prophet
Title:Isaiah, a willing prophet
Aim:To answer God's call to serve.
Scripture:Isaiah 6:1–12
Isaiah's vision of God's throne room, Isaiah 6:1–4
Isaiah 6 is the prophet's record of how he heard and responded to God's call to serve. At first, it may seem odd that Isaiah's commission to prophesy does not come until after five chapters of oracles.
These chapters deal with such themes as judgment, discipline, exile, restoration, and blessing. Yet, Isaiah placed his commissioning account here to prove he had the credentials to deliver the opening series of oracles against Judah.
God dramatically called Isaiah to his prophetic ministry "in the year that King Uzziah died" (v. 1), namely, 740 B.C. Uzziah (or Azariah) was a monarch of Judah, and he helped restore the nation to some of its former glory.
Second Chronicles 26:4 notes that Uzziah's obedience was pleasing to God. Uzziah extended Judah's territory and brought the nation to a time of great prosperity.
In the south, Uzziah maintained control over Edom and rebuilt port facilities at Elath on the Gulf of Aqaba. To the west, Uzziah warred against the Philistines, seizing several cities. Uzziah also apparently defeated and subdued the Ammonites (vv. 6-8).
Because of Uzziah's political and economic successes, many people in Judah flourished economically. Yet, regrettably, the wicked rich exploited the poor through extortion and injustice. The unparalleled prosperity diverted many from worshipping the Creator and obeying His laws.
The era of high living came to a crashing halt with the death of Uzziah. He remained leprous until his death because he tried to usurp the high priest's duties (vv. 18-21). Uzziah's death meant that his successors would be Jotham (750–735 B.C.) and then eventually Ahaz (735–715 B.C.), both known for their morally weak dispositions.
The loss of a beloved national leader such as Uzziah and the unsettled situation it created in the royal palace undoubtedly affected Isaiah at the start of his ministry. People looked for security amid change. Meanwhile, God summoned Isaiah to arouse them from their spiritual apathy and wickedness.
The prophet said he "saw the Lord" (Isa. 6:1). The spokesperson did not physically see God's innermost nature with the naked eye. Rather, Isaiah was able to perceive the Creator in visible form seated upon a heavenly throne with the hem, or fringe, of His robe filling the celestial temple.
The above description expresses the overwhelming presence of God as both King and Judge over the entire cosmos. Isaiah's lofty view of the Creator gives us a sense of the Lord's greatness, mystery, and power.
God used Isaiah's vision of the heavenly throne room to commission him as the Lord's messenger to His people. Isaiah was given a difficult assignment. He had to tell people who believed they were blessed by God and exempt from His judgment, that instead He was going to destroy them because of their disobedience.
Accompanying the Creator were "seraphs" (v. 2). These were spiritual beings who served as God's attendants.
The meaning of "seraphs" is "burning ones," which suggests these creatures had a fiery appearance. Evidently, these were immensely bright creatures, even though they had to hide their faces before God's infinitely brighter light. Nowhere else are seraphs mentioned in the Old Testament.
Two of the angels' wings covered their faces in reverence and awe before the Lord. Because the seraphs had no glory to compare with that belonging to God, they could not look on Him directly.
Two of the seraphs' wings covered their feet, which suggests lowliness. They remained humble before the Creator, even though they engaged in divine service. The seraphs' final two wings were used to fly, which signifies that they existed to do God's bidding.
Drawn against the backdrop of Judah's sin and Isaiah's personal needs, the Almighty's infinite holiness came through powerfully in the prophet's vision. The Lord was the central focus of this heavenly throne room scene.
That is why the angels lauded God with the thunderous chorus, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lordof armies" (v. 3). The threefold repetition was the strongest way in the Hebrew language to emphasize that nothing is as absolutely holy as the Creator of the universe.
The basic meaning of "holy" is to be set apart from that which is commonplace. The word also refers to what is special or unique.
That the entire earth is filled with God's glory emphasizes the cosmic perspective of Isaiah's prophecies. He would proclaim that the Lord reigns supreme over all creation and that His salvation and judgment encompass all nations.
First, God's regal position is the basis for His moral authority as the transcendent and sovereign Judge. Second, God's holy character establishes the ethical standard for upright conduct and gives Him the right to decree to humankind how they should behave (Rom 3:23).
Third, the Creator's infinite holiness is the basis for people worshiping Him. Indeed, God's holiness is the theme of worship in heaven (Rev. 4:8).
Often in the Old Testament, phenomena such as earthquakes, smoke, fire, and lightning accompany a manifestation of God. Isaiah 6:4 notes that the thunderous chorus of the seraphs caused the foundations of the celestial temple to be shaken. Also, smoke filled the entire heavenly sanctuary.
The Hebrew noun rendered "smoke" possibly reflects the cloud of God's glory that filled the tabernacle, which Moses had built in the wilderness (Exod. 40:34). Both the shaking and the smoke that Isaiah described were manifestations of the Creator's holiness, especially as it related to judgment.
Isaiah's commission, Isaiah 6:5–12
Isaiah's encounter with the Lord seated on His celestial throne proved to be a life-changing experience for the prophet. First, God's presence made Isaiah realize the depth of his sinfulness. Second, seeing the seraphs humbly covering themselves before the Creator must have reminded the prophet of his moral imperfection.
The preceding emphases are reflected in the Hebrew noun rendered "woe" (Isa. 6:5). This interjection conveys feelings of intense sorrow and distress. When the prophet exclaimed that he was "ruined," he made it seem as if his destruction had already occurred.
Isaiah could have made excuses, pleaded for mercy, or fallen back on his pious deeds. Yet, he did none of these things. Instead, he fully accepted God's judgment. After all, Isaiah knew that what he had seen and heard left him feeling totally helpless and hopeless before the Lord.
Isaiah confessed that he and his people were guilty of "unclean lips." While this possibly included uttering vulgar language, most likely Isaiah had something else in mind. The people's lips were instruments of religious hypocrisy and false professions of faith in the Creator.
Isaiah was careful to include himself in this withering accusation. Even though he did not have to confess the sins of his people, he did so anyway.
First, Isaiah realized his need for the Lord to cleanse and purge the prophet of his wrongdoings. Second, Isaiah needed his lips purified so that he could praise the Lord with the seraphs and declare God's message to the people.
Isaiah reported seeing "the King, the Lordof armies" (Isa. 6:5). The depiction is one of a divine Warrior who commanded the legions of heaven and earth. The impression is that the Creator remained in absolute control of the planet and its inhabitants.
Upon Isaiah's confession of his sinfulness, a seraph flew over him with a hot coal that had been taken from the celestial altar (v. 6). This coal symbolized the redeeming power of God to purge and forgive sins.
Next, when the angel touched Isaiah's lips with the coal, both his iniquity and guilt were removed. Also, the prophet's sin was forgiven (v. 7).
Admittedly, the coal did not atone for Isaiah's transgressions. Rather, the Creator pardoned His spokesperson in anticipation of offering a future sacrifice, namely, the Messiah in His redemptive work on the cross (Rom. 4:25-26). In turn, Isaiah's purification served to prepare him for his upcoming ministry as the Lord's messenger.
God saw that the people of Judah refused to follow His ways. So, He wanted someone to tell them about their need for change and to warn them about what to expect. The Lord chose Isaiah for this job, and he willingly accepted the assignment.
God asked whom He would send to proclaim His judgment oracle (Isa. 6:8). There are several views about the identity of "us" in this verse.
One option would be a reference to the Trinity. A second possibility is that God was addressing His question to the angelic beings in His royal court.
In any case, it's clear how Isaiah responded. Though shortly before he felt unfit to serve God as a prophet, now Isaiah was eager. He wanted to go wherever the Creator directed.
Now God proceeded to give Isaiah the core of the message he was to deliver to the people. Surprisingly, Isaiah was to tell them that they would hear the truth without understanding it and would see the truth without perceiving it (v. 9). Isaiah's face must have fallen in disappointment when he heard this.
We can imagine Isaiah anticipated hearing that the Creator would use the prophet to lead Judah to repentance. Yet, instead, the Lord informed Isaiah that his ministry would have little positive spiritual impact. In fact, the people's hearts would become even more hardened against God.
Isaiah's prophecy would do the following (v. 10): first, it would cause the peoples' hearts to become further calloused; second, it would dull their spiritual hearing; and third, it would cloud their spiritual vision.
Certainly, God is displeased when people reject His truth. He wants all sinners to turn to Him in faith and be spiritually healed. Yet, the Creator knew in advance that Isaiah's message would have a hardening effect on the hearts of most of the people, just as the sun hardens moist clay.
God's summons of Isaiah to render the hearts of the people unresponsive might seem puzzling to us. After all, why would the Lord prevent His people from responding favorably to His pronouncements through Isaiah?
The answer is that the people had consistently rebelled against the Creator. The people had also become stubborn in their thinking and obdurate in their hearts.
During the final 10 years of Uzziah's life, his son, Jotham, ruled in Uzziah's place. Jotham excelled in honoring the Lord, and the time of prosperity continued (2 Chron. 26:21; 27:1-6). Yet, as noted earlier, Scripture tells us that despite the leadership of these two godly kings, their subjects persisted in their evil ways (27:2).
After the death of Uzziah (or Azariah), and following the reign of his son, Jotham, Ahaz came to power. During his rule, Judah pivoted completely away from God (2 Kings 16:1-4; 2 Chron. 28:19). Because the people and their leaders (both religious and civil) deliberately ignored the Lord, the nation eventually reaped the consequences of moral and spiritual decline.
Isaiah did not object to the commission God had given. Before knowing his commission, the prophet had accepted, and now he would not shrink from it. Yet, understandably he was curious about the duration the Creator wanted His spokesperson to minister to people who had calloused hearts.
So, Isaiah asked how long his assignment would last (Isa. 6:11). God's reply was that Isaiah should continue preaching until Judah was devastated and abandoned, its inhabitants having been taken into exile (v. 12). Since the Babylonian captivity did not occur for another century and a half, Isaiah would have to keep up his poorly received message for the remainder of his life.
For thought and application
The message of this week's lesson is clear: God wants us to be unwavering in our commitment to Him as Christians. Like Isaiah, the Creator expects us to give His plans and will foremost priority in our lives.
Moreover, God wants from us the same relinquishing of our plans and will as He had from Isaiah. The Lord desires to be our foremost priority in life.
While we probably won't experience visions of the Lord and His celestial throne room as the prophet encountered, we have something better. We have God's complete Word, including the record of Isaiah's profound experience.
Through the Bible, countless people have been led to faith in the Messiah. They have been spiritually transformed. Also, they have been made fully aware of the Creator's infinite holiness, glory, and love. Yet, along with those many who have ears to hear, there are even more who resemble the people of Judah, their hearts only further hardened by the gospel.
Thankfully, there continue to be those of among us who trust in the Son, who are pardoned and cleansed from sin, and who are commissioned. Our orders are clear: proclaim the good news with total commitment.
Our strategy may be different than the methods Isaiah used, especially since the circumstances are different. The doom and despair that Isaiah foresaw and preached has since come and gone. Nonetheless, in many real forms it exists today as devastatingly as ever.
For instance, governments and individuals inflict horrific atrocities upon one another. Also, the personal despair of individuals living independently of the Creator's hope and grace is just as palpable. People still desperately need the Lord, and they need Jesus' followers to stand up and say, "Here I am. Send me!"

Tips for consumers
You can help ensure traders comply with measurement laws.
- Check the quantity statement on the goods you buy.
- Make sure you have a clear view of scales when you buy goods by weight over the counter. The trader must place the scales must so you can see the weight, price per kilogram, total price and goods being weighed. If not, they should provide you with a written statement of the measurement.
- Ensure scales display zero weight before the trader weighs your goods.
- Make sure there are no other items on the scales and the trader only weighs the goods you are purchasing when they calculate the price.
- Check the price per kilogram on the scales matches the advertised price.
- Check the total price on the scales is the price you're charged at the checkout.
- Check your receipt to ensure the calculated price matches the advertised price.
- Pay only for the product, not the packaging material. In many stores, traders set the electronic checkout scales to automatically deduct the weight of the packaging during the weighing process. In other stores, staff manually set the scale to deduct the weight of the packaging materials. For example, when you buy apples in a plastic bag you should only pay for the apples. If you buy potato salad at the deli counter you should only pay for the salad, not for the weight of the plastic container.
- If you are not present while the goods are measured, make sure you get a receipt that states the measurement used.
- At the service station, after you have picked up the nozzle and before you start filling your fuel tank, make sure the display of the fuel dispenser is indicating all zeros on the volume and total price indicators.

Is Your Fitness Functional?
How functional is your fitness? Are you a bodybuilder, power lifter, weight trainer, Zumba pro?
My husband and I just celebrated our anniversary. As per our tradition, we go camping and mountain biking/hiking and/or kayaking on or around our anniversary. There are many reasons for this. Mainly, we got married while camping/hiking/mountain biking. So this is something we do every year (barring disaster).
I know countless "fit" people who don't aren't functional. I compete. I train to mold my body (hence body builder) into a winning physique. However, I'm fortunate to have a coach who believes in functional fitness.
What possible good would it do me to be muscular and fit if I can't climb a rock, mountain bike, pull myself up or lower myself down if I want to climb? Or if I fall down a well. What fun would it be to be unable to kayak, canoe, run? Fitness should be fun as well as functional.
I want to be physically able to do the things I enjoy for MANY, MANY more years. I want my husband and I to continue our active lifestyle well past the age where people think we should "relax".
Relaxing isn't in our plan or our future, if we can at all help it or have anything to say about it.
So, when you're at the gym deadlifting, squatting, pressing, benching: make sure to throw some box jumps, pull-ups, jump ropes and plyometrics in there. There is so much more to life than looking good - feeling good and having fun beats that out every time.

Twitter world mourns the passing of sportscasting legend Dick Enberg
Dick Enberg, one of the great sportscasters not just of the last few decades but of all time, was mourned across Twitter and other media on Friday hours after the world learned he had died on Thursday evening at the age of 82.
Enberg's voice dominated sports for 50 years, stretching from his start as a local sports broadcaster in Los Angeles, including time calling UCLA men's basketball, until his final full-time sports role as the main play-by-play voice of the San Diego Padres from which he retired in 2016.
For many fans, including myself, we probably remember Enberg for his 25-year run at NBC where he was the voice of the network's tennis coverage, especially Wimbledon, as well as the NFL where he called many memorable moments. All told, across his career, Enberg would call 28 Wimbledon tournaments and 10 Super Bowls.
How prevalent was Enberg? He even had a terrific cameo in the original Naked Gun film.
On top of all that, he also was the voice of numerous NCAA men's basketball championship games, and worked for other networks like CBS and ESPN, calling baseball, golf, and tennis.
More recently, he was doing the "Sound of Success" podcast for the Podcast One network.
As one would expect with a legend like Enberg, fans and colleagues took to Twitter to mourn the loss of one of broadcasting's greats.
dick enberg - oh my, what a loss.
we arrived in LA about the same time, 2 midwesterners, wide eyed and excited about opportunities.
he stayed the nice guy to the very end.
RIP, my friend.

READ THIS: How the great Dick Enberg said he wanted to be remembered: "He made the game better b/c he colored it, hued it, gave his personality, he personified the athlete, historically connected, showed a little humor, he enjoyed the game & helped me to enjoy the game as well." pic.twitter.com/cO8fqe0nkY

If there was a Mount Rushmore of LA Sports Announcers, Dick Enberg is on it with Chick Hearn, Vin Scully and Bob Miller. Rams, Angels, UCLA, NBC, and so much more. Was the first famous announcer I ever met, and he couldn't have been nicer. Definition of a gentleman. RIP.

In May 2017 was my last time to spend time with Dick Enberg. I was asked to present him with the Ben Press award in San Diego. I am thinking of his family tonight. 🙏🙏RIP Mr. Enberg. PS pic.twitter.com/ADW2zBue1c

So saddened to hear of the passing of the great Dick Enberg. A consummate professional, he made me feel so welcome as a newcomer to San Diego, on and off the field. He had a charm no one could match, unparalleled experience, a true legend in every sense. #hubbahubba #ohmy pic.twitter.com/MvBM9D9ftO

A yob set his dog on a policeman shouting "go 'ed - get him" before the animal sunk its teeth into the officer.
Gary Jones, 24, was wanted for witness intimidation when police visited his home in Acanthus Road, Old Swan .
He slammed his front door in an officer's face so Sergeant James May decided to go to the back of the house.
Sgt May walked through an open back door and shouted "police", only for Jones to appear, shouting: "You f***ing what? Come on!"
Jones was holding a pair of scissors in his closed fist, which he refused to drop, so Sgt May hit him with his baton.
Liverpool Crown Court heard he dropped the weapon but started yelling: "Get the f*** out of my house!"
The pair struggled before Jones' four-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier called Haze ran into the kitchen.
Paul Wood, prosecuting, said: "Jones shouted 'go 'ed Haze, get him Haze'. The dog became very quickly agitated."
The court heard she chomped her jaws around his left ankle, with Sgt May describing: "The dog bit into my leg and wouldn't let go."
Another officer was able to get Haze off Sgt May and arrest Jones, at around 12.35pm on November 27 last year.
He suffered two puncture wounds and severe swelling and bruising, which required a tetanus jab and antibiotics.
When interviewed by police, Jones blamed Sgt May, claiming: "It was because he came in my house and assaulted me."
However, he later admitted being in charge of a dog which caused injury while dangerously out of control.
Jones, who was cleared of witness intimidation after a trial, was on bail at the time, for assaulting an ex-girlfriend last July.
He was convicted of battery and handed a community order, plus 200 hours of unpaid work, on February 20.
Kyra Badman, defending, said Jones was remanded in custody after the attack, which was his first time behind bars.
She said after he was released his dad had his kidneys removed and he had cared for him ever since.
Ms Badman conceded he had made "fairly limited progress" on his community order by completing just 30 hours of unpaid work.
The court heard Haze would be destroyed unless the judge was satisfied she was not a risk.
A report showed she was aggressive when assessed by officers, but Ms Badman suggested she could be re-homed with a relative.
She said the family pet always barked a lot, but there was previously no suggestion she was dangerous.
Judge Robert Trevor-Jones told Jones: "You encouraged her to attack the officer, which is what happened.
"It is an aggravating factor in particular here that it was a police officer, acting lawfully, who was targeted with your dog."
He said Jones had "failed to respond adequately to unpaid work" and jailed him for 18 months.
The judge said Jones was "not a fit and proper" animal owner and banned him from having a dog.
He said: "Given the contents of the report I'm not satisfied that she would not cause a danger, therefore I do order her destruction."

Influence of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the kinetics of complex formation between [PdCl(dien)](+) and sulfur containing ligands L-cysteine and glutathione
No Thumbnail
MetadataShow full item record
The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles on the kinetics of the complex formation between [PdCl(dien)](+) and sulfur containing ligands L-cysteine and glutathione (GSH) was investigated by using the stopped-flow technique under pseudo-first order conditions (ligand in excess) in the acidity range from pH 1 to 6. The presence of anionic micelles induced the acceleration of the complex formation in the entire acidity range with the maxima corresponding to the first protolytic constant of the ligands. This effect was interpreted in terms of the attractive electrostatic interaction between reacting species and the micellar surface and their effective concentration in the vicinity of micelles. An increase of the ionic strength leads to a decrease of the rate of complex formation in the presence of anionic micelles due to competition of reactive species with cations originating from inert salt for the micellar surface. The calculation of activation parameters revealed that the ent...ropy of activation is strongly negative in the presence and in the absence of micelles, which is compatible with an associative reaction mechanism.

Manly Breakfast & Lunch Cafes
1. Barenaked Bowls
Barenaked Bowls is always our go to cafe when we visit Manly because we love the fact that it's located off the main street in what feels more like a village vibe. It also serves up some of the best acai bowls in Sydney!
Top tip: Get The Hippie Bowl – it's the best (it's all about the macadamia milk!).
There are a couple of locations for Barenaked Bowls in Sydney because it's so good. This means you can also visit them in Bronte, Surry Hills and Dee Why.
Address: Barenaked Bowls, 2/41 Market Pl, Manly NSW 2095
2. Pure Wholefoods
Pure Wholefoods in Manly is a little hidden gem. Located on Darley Road, it's just far enough away from the touristy area that only locals really know about this awesome cafe.
Expect dishes like coconut pancakes and scrambled turmeric tofu to feast on, as well as yogi bowls, laksa and Atlantic salmon for lunch! This is a great vegan cafe in Manly, but it's also perfect for paleo, gluten free, and anyone looking for healthy food in Manly.
Address: 5/10 Darley Rd, Manly NSW 2095
3. Fika Swedish Kitchen in Manly
Fika Swedish Kitchen has lasted the time to know it's a popular spot for breakfast or lunch in Manly.
Our readers especially love it; @andy_shankster calls it "Ikea meets an Aussie breakfast" – but don't be fooled into thinking it's cheap food.
The Swedish menu comprises of dishes like "Toast Skagen – Our famous prawn, dill & lemon mayo mix stacked on sourdough" and "The Chic Chick Sous vide chicken breast with potatoes, chickpeas, capsicum & corn dressed in a curry mayo, topped with broccolini & kavring crumbs".
Whilst @thefrenchieescapes said; "The coffee and food are simply delicious. The staff are also incredibly welcoming and friendly", which is also a bonus!
Address: 5B Market Pl, Manly NSW 2095
4. The Bower Restaurant
The Bower Restaurant is a Manly restaurant I wanted to go to for years because it's along the famous walk from Manly Beach to Shelly Beach.
Recently I popped over for a cuppa and loved the location.
They actually serve up breakfast, lunch and dinner and our reader @joefusindeed loves it for their cracking breakfasts!
Address: The Bower Restaurant, 7 Marine Parade, Manly NSW 2095
5. The Boathouse Shelly Beach
The Boathouse in Shelly Beach has been a bit of an institution since it opened a few years back. Not only is it at the end of the Manly Beach to Shelly Beach walk, the location is so beautiful, it will make you feel like you're a million miles away.
The Boathouse Group are renowned for pulling out all the stops when it comes to their famous salads and fish & chips. @thefrenchieescapes and @followustosydney love it for brunch and we couldn't agree more!
Address: The Boathouse Shelly Beach, 1 Marine Parade, Manly NSW 2095
6. Sonoma Bakery
Image via sonoma.com.au
Might not sound that exciting but quite a few of our readers love Sonoma Bakery in Manly because of its amazing location on Manly Wharf. If you're just looking for cheap breakfast in Manly options, look no further. They also make a mean croissant and excellent sourdough bread to take home.
Address: Sonoma Bakery, Manly Wharf, 11 E Esplanade, Manly NSW 2095
7. Ruby Lane Wholefoods
We love a good wholefood cafe and it's no exception why Ruby Lane in Manly wouldn't make our list.
With an all day menu, it's good to know you can still order brekkie at any time of the day! With options like Serious Eggs Benny, Superfood Banana Bread and Earth Bowl, I'm completely sold.
Address: Ruby Lane Wholefoods, 200 Pittwater Rd, Manly NSW 2095
Manly Lunch & Dinner Restaurants
8. Hemingway's Manly
Hemingway's in Manly is a very popular spot for many locals and tourists because of it's location being opposite the beach. Whilst the cafe spills out onto the pavement, it's an opportunity to soak up the Manly vibes.
The good news is Hemingways serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with happy hour drinks and $10 food and from Tue – Fri 4pm-6pm and Sunday's from 6pm-9pm!
@saraharanyi is adamant that nowhere beats brunch at Hemingway's. She loves the quirky vibes (it's got the feel of a bookshop inside), the delicious food, amazing service and of course the views across the beach.
@andy_shankster also mentioned Hemingway's does THE best coffee in Manly.
Now there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be visiting Hemingways as one of the best Manly restaurants!
Address: Hemingways, 48 N Steyne, Manly NSW 209
9. The Pantry
The location of The Pantry is undeniably the best in Manly. Located on the beach, the views are absolutely outstanding. You can choose between breakfast, lunch or dinner at this day to night restaurant.
Our reader @ninstagraaamm recommends The Pantry to everyone she knows as she absolutely adores the view and the food here. Her go to dish is the sharing tapas.
@tomasisupsidedown absolutely loves the huge breakfast at The Pantry and thinks the view honestly doesn't get any better. We think he's right!
Address: The Pantry, Ocean Promenade, N Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
10. The Hold
Lunch & Dinner (Until 12am)
Technically it's a bar, but The Hold in Manly is an awesome burger joint our friend Azar told us about. It's also a super vegan friendly restaurant in Manly, boasting it's very own vegan burger menu too!
Address: The Hold, 24 Sydney Rd, Manly NSW 2095
11. Manly Wine
lunch & dinner (AND DRINKS)
Manly Wine is the sort of place that just makes you feel like you're on a constant holiday!
It's a fantastic bar to have a couple of drinks but they also have a lunch and dinner menu. Expect some of the best seafood in Manly here!
Address: Manly Wine, 8/13 S Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
12. Manly 16ft Skiff Sailing Club
Lunch or Dinner
An old boss took me to Manly 16ft Skiff Sailing Club once and I thought it was a proper gem. Situated right on Manly Wharf, it's far enough away from the hustle and bustle of everyone getting on and off the ferry.
The main thing I loved is the outdoor space, as it sits right on the water. Honestly, this is a locals gem. Expect classics like chicken parmie, burgers, seafood, poke bowls and salads from this club.
But as our reader @joeinfusindeed mentioned, make sure you bring your ID because it's a club and if you forget it, you'll have to pay for a membership just to go in to get a meal or a drink.
Address: Manly 16ft Skiff Sailing Club, Cnr East Esplanade &, Stuart St, Manly NSW 2095
13. Manly Greenhouse
We love the idea of a Manly restaurant split into essentially three very different restaurants. Welcome to Manly Greenhouse, a gorgeous restaurant which needs to be on your radar.
On the ground floor you'll find the Italian beach side bar serving up food all day long. On the middle floor you'll find a more swankier grill restaurant and upstairs is the rooftop bar.
@followustosydney told us it's a great place for pizza before heading upstairs for their incredible cocktails. I think this has date night in Sydney sorted then!
Address: Manly Greenhouse, 36-38 S Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
14. The Glasshouse
Image via hotelsteyne.com.au
It's very common to have a bit of an Inception thing going on with Sydney bars. You have bars within bars within bars and there's no exception when it comes to Manly's oldest pub, Hotel Steyne.
Whilst it's no different to any other Aussie pub in Sydney, we recommend heading upstairs to the stunning The Glasshouse, a rooftop bar with ocean views.
Although The Glasshouse is a gin bar, it also serves up some epic sliders, bruschetta and tasting boards to graze on. So make sure you head up for sunset and have a gin for us!
Address: The Glasshouse, 75 The Corso, Manly NSW 2095
15. Donny's Bar
Donny's Bar in Manly is a locals favourite place to drink. Located next door to Fika Swedish Kitchen, they serve up some incredible cocktails and pale ales as well as some beautiful food as well. Popular dishes include the Gnocchi Bolognese, New York Steak and of course Donny's Wagyu Burger.
On the weekends they serve half price food on Sundays and have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Address: Donny's Bar, 7 Market Pl, Manly NSW 2095
16. Hugo's Manly
Hugo's in Manly has become a legendary Manly restaurant over the years. Quite a few of our readers all voted for Hugo's as the best restaurant in Manly and it's hard not to see why.
@icadoo loves the fun atmosphere, their incredible Espresso Martini's and of course their legendary pizzas.
Hugo's is a great place to visit for the day and best of all, it's located right on Manly wharf so you don't even need to walk far from the ferry!
Address: Hugo's Manly, Manly Wharf, 1 E Esplanade, Manly NSW 2095
17. Daniel San
Images via danielsan.com.au
Daniel San in Manly is the suburb's first Japanese Rock N Roll Bar. Named after everyone's favourite 1980's karate film, you know you've come to a good place when they have themed nights like Mr Miyagi Fridays!
It's the sort of place which has it all. Firstly the location is awesome because it sits right opposite the beach. There's a rooftop terrace you just need to go to, it's family friendly during the daytime, and they party every Friday and Saturday night and not forgetting their legendary Sunday sessions. (If you're not aware, Sydney is famous for partying on a Sunday arvo.)
I'll tell you what though, we ended up partying at Daniel San one Friday night and we were bopping around to It's Raining Men with our umbrella out in full swing, and the bouncers actually found it funny. Yep, it's a first for us as Sydney bouncers are notorious for throwing people (*I mean me) out of a bar for even looking like you might be having a good time.
Back to the food. The menu consists of incredible sashimi and sushi rolls with burgers, salads and poke bowls to choose from. I'd be opting for the sushi & sashimi love boat because sushi on a boat is ALWAYS a good idea.
Address: Daniel San, 55 N Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
18. De Vita
A hidden gem @gelectrox1 told us about is De Vita Italian Restaurant in Manly. This authentic Italian restaurant serves up some of the best pizza he's ever had. To make a statement like that is worth a visit for sure.
Address: Shop 1B/4-8 Darley Rd, Manly NSW 2095
19. In Situ
Although In Situ is one of Manly's oldest restaurants and small bars, there's a reason why. This packed out vintage inspired restaurant serves up breakfast, pizza, European tapas and cocktails with live music on the weekends.
FYI – They have a daily happy hour from 4-7pm serving up $12 cocktails, $6 beer/wine, and half priced pizza and tapas. Result!
Address: 1/18 Sydney Rd, Manly NSW 2095
20. Chica Bonita
LUNCh & DINNER
We popped by Chica Bonita a while ago to try out their famous tacos and Mexican inspired food! It's a great date night restaurant in Manly but also for anyone wanting to catch up after work one night.
Address: Chica Bonita, 9 The Corso, Manly NSW 2095
21. Queen Chow
Images via merivale.com
Queen Chow is a renowned Chinese restaurant in Manly ran by Sydney food giants, Merivale. Expect your favourite dishes but a swankier version (with the price tag) and beautiful views, as you watch the ferry's go back and forth from Manly Wharf.
Address: Queen Chow, Manly Wharf, 22-23 E Esplanade, Manly NSW 2095
22. Fish Shack
We love it when our readers tell us about their hidden gems which is when @aboutasix told us about Fish Shack – we knew we had to include it onto our list of the best Manly Restaurants.
She said, "Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, it serves up the best fresh calamari I've ever had." So there you go, if you're into seafood, go try out Fish Shack now!
Address: 33 S Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
