Thought for the Day
A young child walked up to her mother and stared at her hair. As mother scrubbed on the dishes, the girl cleared her throat and sweetly asked; "Why do you have some grey strands in your hair?"
The mother paused and looked at her daughter. "Every time you disobey, I get one strand of grey hair. If you want me to stay pretty, you better obey." The mother quickly returned to her task of washing dishes. The little girl stood there thinking. She cleared her throat again. "Mother?" She sweetly asked again.
"Yes?" Her Mother replied. "Why is Grandma's hair all grey?"
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"
One little girl raised her hand and said,
"I think he said: 'Holy Mackerel! A talking chicken!'"
The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of $50 notes out of his wallet.
He turns to the rich man and says to him,
"I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed."
The rich man laughs.
The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."
The rich man laughs again and says, "Ok, how about my daughters name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller."
The rich man goes home poor.
The poor man goes home rich.
What song did he sing?

Manage Building Waste
Up to 40 per cent of waste generated by Australians is building waste. Sending building materials to landfill is a waste of resources that could otherwise be used in a variety of ways. There are a number of ways you can minimise building waste–and you may be able to sell some of your used materials to recover some costs.
Save money
Recycled products can be cheaper than new products
Add historic and unique touches by re-using products and materials
Keep good quality, re-usable and useful materials out of landfill
If you’re building or renovating, work with your designer and builder to plan how you will minimise waste during the project and recycle leftover building materials. This will reduce demand for new materials and lower the volume of waste going to landfill.
When building or renovating, use recycled materials and materials with high recycled content where it is fit for purpose—this helps to lower waste volumes and increase the viability of recycling which in turn will develop the market for recycled resources. Buying recycled goods can also save you a lot of money and add character to your home.
If you are renovating or building yourself, don't forget this important rule. Inaccurate cutting can lead to a lot of wasted product. Use off-cuts where possible.

6 Food for Healthy Sleep—Eat Good, Sleep Tight
Most of us usually struggle to get a good sleep. Living in this fast paced society does not allow us to focus on our diet properly, however, to enjoy a nice sleep our regular diet should not be ignored.
Following is a small list of some healthy food options, which can provide you with a good-night sleep:
Cherries - Cherries are also quite famous as a sleep regulator because of its ability to manipulate your body clock. It’s a rich source of melatonin, which is known as a hormone manufactured by the pineal gland in your brain.
Warm Milk - A glass of warm milk before bed is filled with amino acids as well as tryptophan, which transforms into serotonin. It has the ability to provide a calming influence in your brain. Milk is also quite a popular option as a rich calcium provider.
Banana - Potassium along with magnesium is very popularly known as a natural muscle relaxant & banana is a rich supplier of both of these. So having a banana is really helpful in getting you a good night’s sleep.
Handful of Almond - Just like some other foods, this is also a rich provider of magnesium, which can help you to get some quality sleep time. Almonds are also quite effect ive in controlling your blood sugar levels during sleep.
Flax Seeds - Flaxseeds are a rich supplier of tryptophan as well as magnesium & omega 3 acids. As we all know tryptophan provide help in excruciating serotonin & magnesium and can be used as a muscle relaxant, omega 3 acids are also quite effective in lowering your depression as well as anxiety. So the combined effects of all these sources can fulfil your dream of a nice night’s sleep.
A Spoon Full of Honey - Presence of natural sugar in honey helps to expand the insulin level & let the tryptophan go into your brain, which can release some relaxing chemicals. Deficiency of glycogen in your liver during the night can also allow your body to release some stress hormones. Consumption of honey is really an effective option for storing glycogen.
These are a list of some foods which can help you to get a good night’s sleep. You can also add walnuts, sweet potatoes, etc. in this list too. However always r e m e m b e r t h a t y o u r consumption should finish at about 45 minutes before bed time.

Fisheries fun facts Under a Service Delivery Agreement with the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, The Department of Fisheries WA (DoF) manages commercial fishing, recreational fishing and aquaculture activities at the Indian Ocean Territories (IOTs).
Since 2006, DoF has conducted research on commercial, recreational and iconic fish species, as well as fish habitats and invertebrates. Results of this research can be found at http://www.fisheries.wa.gov.au/Fishing-and-Aquaculture/Recreational-Fishing/Recreational-Fishing-Rules/Pages/Indian-Ocean-Territories.aspx
DoF would like to share the research results and some Fun Facts on species found at the IOTs with the community. Watch this space!
Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena spp.; there are two that co-exist at the IOTs)
The mahi mahi or common dolphinfish can be distinguished by their dazzling colours and long dorsal fins that extend almost the entire length of their bodies. Their average weight is between 7 to 13 kilograms and they rarely exceed 15 kilograms. Mahi mahi feed on flying fish, crabs and squid.
Mahi mahi only live to four or five years old. For this reason, they are among the fastest growing fish. Both male and female fish are sexually mature by 4-5 months. They spawn in warm ocean currents throughout much of the year and females may spawn 2-3 times per year, producing between 80,000 and 1,000,000 eggs per event.
Feel free to contact Kim Hands, Community Education Officer for the IOTs, at any time on [email protected] or Work: 9203 0345/Mobile: 0418 915 281.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2014 On 28th September & 5th October Club members vied for the title of Club Champion for the 2014 season. The championships are played as a stroke event over two 18 hole rounds where the gross scores for each player are combined to find the champion players for men and ladies. The first round was played in strong winds and, at times, heavy rain. Even in these very trying conditions some great golf was played with Ash James turning in a memorable score of 85, 11 strokes ahead of Pete Clarke in second place. Lin Clarke led the ladies with a creditable 109 gross. Round 2 again saw difficult golfing conditions with very strong and sometimes squally winds. Players struggled to keep the ball in play but again successfully challenged the elements to bring home commendable scores. The completion of the second round saw Lin Clarke emerge as the Ladies Champion. For the men however, the testing conditions saw two players enter the clubhouse on equal gross scores requiring a playoff to decide the overall winner. Ash James and Pete Clarke returned to the 1st hole to battle for the championship. It took only one playoff hole for Pete Clarke to win the game and take out the title of Men’s club Champion 2014.
Nett results for these championships saw Rohan Dyall emerge as the Nett Winner and Bas Nelson as the Nett Runner-up. Club Champion Men – Peter Clarke R1 Gross 96 R2 Gross 96 TOTAL 192 (won 1st playoff hole)

How do I do it?
The object is to insert the numbers in the boxes to satisfy only one condition: each row, column and group of squares enclosed by the bold lines must contain the digits 1 through 9 exactly once.
The rules for different size and shape puzzles are pretty much identical. The different size puzzles simply require a different set of numbers.
Brainteaser Answer
"Happy Birthday." This song can be sung with anyone's name in it.
