One Government agency is losing income due to its state-owned houses sitting empty in Whangarei while another has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for homeless people to live in motels.
Housing NZ has 22 empty properties in Whangarei, with most contaminated by methamphetamine and some empty almost a year.
The housing shortage in Whangarei alone resulted in the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) stumping up $271,000 in the three months ending March 31 for people to live in temporary accommodation.
Throughout Northland during that time, 477 extendable weekly Emergency Housing Special Needs Grants (SNG) were made by MSD to the value of $377,343, putting 130 signatory clients representing families as well as individuals into short term accommodation, often motels.
"Our goal is to support people into long-term, sustainable housing," MSD deputy chief executive housing, Scott Gallacher said.
MSD, which includes Work and Income, manages the applications and assignment of houses for Housing New Zealand (HNZ).
But HNZ has 22 empty properties in Whangarei and says a heavy work schedule has meant long delays in its contractors meeting the demand for the sometimes specialist repairs. Some of the 22 houses have been empty for nearly a year.
"These are vacant mainly due to meth [methamphetamine] decontamination or because they are in need of repair - minor to major," regional manager HNZ Neil Adams said.
"They will return to the letting pool as soon as possible."
MSD said it is "working with HNZ to ensure that vacant housing stock is remediated and returned to the letting pool as quickly as possible".
But one example of the gap between need and availability is a two bedroom house in Selwyn Ave which had been virtually gutted because of the high level of contamination from the drug methamphetamine also called 'P'.
"It was so badly contaminated by meth it will take major repairs to bring back it to a lettable standard," Mr Adams said.
"The estimated cost is in excess of $50,000 and the date, at this stage, is July this year."
The house - the exterior of which appears in good condition, with a private, sunny, fenced yard - has been vacant for about nine months after its internal wall cladding and utilities were ripped out, say neighbours.
Having only two bedrooms, it would be unlikely to be go to a family with more than two children, unless in exceptional circumstances.
MSD describes having more than two children per room as "overcrowding".
In February this year, the Advocate reported Work and Income was shelling out for nine families to stay at Kamo Motel while waiting for state houses to become available.
The agency was paying the motel $3175 per week for three families alone, and in the five months up until then spent more than $33,000 on two rooms occupied by a mother and her five children.
At edition time the Advocate was waiting for a response from HNZ about whether it would call for tenders or new contracts to help clear the backlog of work.

Moving around the holidays is extra stressful. Make things easier with these House Warming Holiday Gift Ideas including a way to keep track of your most precious possessions!
I have been wanting to tell you folks something. We found a PLACE!! Yep, we are officially out of the hotel and settling into a gorgeous, almost-brand-new townhouse. The last week has been a complete whirlwind, but we are beyond excited to finally have our own home.
House Warming Holiday Gift Ideas
Naturally moving was completely insane. At least once I lost track of my hard drive! Luckily my trusty Tile, the little Bluetooth tracker that saved my day, was there to help me find it. I am loving the Tile community and how great these gadgets are. Paul is a little jealous he doesn't have one, but me thinks Santa is going to fix that soon!
We are hosting a House Warming in a few weeks so Holiday Gift Ideas are at the top of my list to get. In addition to the wine of course. We pulled out the holiday decorations and Tile even helped me keep track of the wine in the midst of our holiday madness! I've already ordered more to give as gifts this holiday season. At less than $20 each when you buy a 4-pack or $25 each, Tile makes the perfect gift. Every multi-pack comes with free gift pouches too, so no gift wrapping required.
I mean if you are looking for a unique house warming gift this year, Tile is a great gift to give. Be sure to check out their holiday gift guide to find the right Tile for everyone on your list. Then attach it to these fun House Warming Holiday Gift Ideas! These are the things we seem to need the most right after a move, but usually can't find!
- Fill a basket with coffee, filters, disposable cups, and fun add-ins like flavored creamers and syrups.
- Use a small laundry basket to hold various household supplies like paper products and trash bags.
- A simple plastic bucket is a great catch-all for basic cleaning supplies and rags.
- Pack a small cooler or picnic basket with paper plates, snacks, and drinks.
- Clear plastic containers with playing cards, drawing paper, markers, and games is a handy distraction.
I hope you like these House Warming Holiday Gift Ideas as much as we do. If you love these ideas, you can find more like it by checking out my Lifestyle section!

If your Dyson isn't sucking, the problem is usually due to one of four reasons. In this video Matt takes us on a tour of the DC07 and shows us the most common causes of loss of suction.
View All Vacuum Cleaner Spare Parts Now »
Video Transcript:
Hi, I'm Matt from eSpares.
If your Dyson DC07 has lost suction, it's probably down to one of four things.
Now before you do anything, make sure you're unplugged from the wall.
First thing to check are your filters. Here's the pre-motor filter - it's a washable filter, so if it's looking dirty, give that a good wash. If I just remove the bin/cyclone assembly, then I can get to the post-motor filter, which is under this cap. Now that's looking pretty mankey, that's not washable and you will need to replace that with a fresh one. If yours is a HEPA DC07, then the post-motor filter will look like this one; again, replace it if it's looking particularly bad.
So next I just want to check to see if we've got any blockages, any coins or stones anywhere. If I remove the valve pipe assembly, just check that, just see if you can see or feel anywhere where there might be a problem. If I just flip it over as well, I can check this U-bend; nope nothing in there.
Now, the third thing to check are the hoses, the main hose on the back, but also this internal hose here. If you can feel any nicks or splits in there, then that will certainly lead to a loss of suction.
If that's all okay, I guess the last thing to check is going to be the motor. Now you'll probably know if it's a problem with the motor because of the sound, but just have a little check around, check the belt. Now the belt drives the brush roll, which doesn't directly affect suction, but if the brush roll isn't turning then it's not going to operate very effectively.
Now you can see me change most of those parts in other eSpares videos, which are available on the eSpares site or on the YouTube channel.
Thanks for watching.

After 159 games full of twists, turns and unexpected developments, the Phillies find themselves in a very interesting position as they enter the final series of the regular season.
They have a chance to pull a few levers to enhance their chances of getting the first round opponent that they want come the end of the week. They've got three games with the Braves and the outcome of those games will decide who winds up winning the Wild Card. If it is the Braves, the Phillies will likely play the Diamondbacks. If the Braves continue their epic choke, the Phils will meet the Cardinals.
The first option is the better one for the Phillies. The Diamondbacks are short on both the lefty hitting and lefty pitching that could create problems for the Phillies in a short series. They are also the callowest of the teams in the playoff mix, something that should play right into the hands of a team throwing a Cy Young-caliber pitcher every night of the week.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, have beaten the Phillies six of nine times this season. In Lance Berkman, Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday, they have a middle of the order than give trouble to the best of rotations and their pitching staff is deep enough to make every late inning at-bat a matchup nightmare for the Phillies.
They are also a veteran team that is peaking at exactly the right time. That should sound familiar to the Phillies after running into just such a team in the Giants last season. Those teams don't just believe they can go on an extended run, they know they can because they've been around long enough to see it happen.
The Phils can only do so much to impact the outcome of the Wild Card race. If the Cards don't beat up on the Astros, it doesn't matter what happens to the Braves. That said, there are things the Phillies can do to get the desired outcome.
Play starters in the games to keep them crisp, but remove them after five or six innings to make sure they also get plenty of rest. Cliff Lee pitches enough today to assure no rust and Cole Hamels makes a relief appearance at some point, but there's no need to push any pitchers too far in the next three games. Let the late innings look like Spring Training games, in other words, and don't lose too much time worrying about whether or not the Braves wind up winning games.
Keeping the throttle at about 75 percent serves all interests. You're not laying down and you're not taking undue risks with your players. The first few innings of the games will be the same as always and if the Phillies can't take advantage late, then they don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.
The Phillies have fought this long to earn the top spot in the playoffs. They might as well do what they can to make sure they like the team they're playing.

Got a bitta food on yo'face there, hun! #FollowFriday for #trotinto2020 has to be @bluegrasshorsefeed I've been using their #Turmash for nearly a year now and my two literally cannot get enough of it. It has many health benefits and suits both of my horses needs, but what I really love about it is how palatable it is to the horses and how affordable it is to my wallet. One bag goes a long way. 🌊 Why do I recommend it? 🌊 Bluegrass Turmash is a Quick soaking high fibre and oil, cereal free, conditioning Mash. It contains Turmeric which has anti-inflammatory properties and is fortified with high quality vitamins and minerals. The high fibre content promotes a healthy gastrointestinal tract. It's a non-heating feed with slow release energy sources. 🌊 Turmash contains linseed, a naturally high source of omega 3, to help promote joint health, glossy coat and condition. It promotes weight gain and condition, gastrointestinal health, has anti-inflammatory effects and aids joint health and recovery. 🌊 Both my horses are in their "veteran" years and have slightly different needs, but this is a feed that suits both for different reasons. Plus it smells like a mild curry 🤤 #feedyourface #poweredbybluegrass #bluegrasshorsefeed #palomino
Remember sunny days? 🥺 The Erris Agricultural show is my favourite show of the year. It's only 10 minutes drive from my house - considering we normally have a two hour round trip just to go jumping, having this show down the road is a real luxury! If you're ever in the west and want to jump on probably the best natural surface possible, this is the show. The naturally sandy soil adds a nice bounce to the ground. Even on the days where it's been bucketing down the ground never gets chopped up or heavy. Plus the fact we are great craic in Belmullet, voted the best place to "go wild" in Ireland, you'll be entertained! So even if you dont bring a horse there is plenty to see and do! #errisagriculturalshow #trotinto2020 #wildatlanticrider #WARider #WARHorse #showjumpersofinstagram #showjumper #holsteinerverband #throwbackthursday
𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 Learning is a treasure that will follow you everywhere - as long as you are open to it. Last week while I was away for work I caught up on the latest Equi Ratings Eventing Podcast on the topic of Horsemanship. The episode included BHS Fellow, Eric Smiley, & event rider Andrew Nicholson. 🌊 In its simplest form, they describe "horsemanship" in terms of the skill & ability to train your horse, a consciousness of its welfare and the respect and responsibility we have as riders to our horses. 🌊 This episode resonated with me as so often we hear riders attribute human characteristics to their horses. We blame them when things go wrong, we complain when we assume they "should" know better, & we "make" them do things that do not come naturally to them. 🌊 But most of all we forget that more often than not our horses are a reflection of ourselves. They reflect our weaknesses & our insecurities just as much as our strengths. We are their teachers, at every level. 🌊 Some are more forgiving than others, some are braver than others but it is up to us to remember that they are horses at the end of the day & the more we learn about them, the better riders we become. This is how partnerships are made. 🌊 If you do nothing else this week, listen to this episode. 🌊 I chose this photo of 3 yr old Cara lunging on the shore as lunging & hacking are my two favourite training techniques - this photo combines both, as well as representing some of my own understanding of Horsemanship. 🌊 Lunging so that I can see how my horses move from the ground. Transitions & different sized circles to teach them to carry themselves without the interference or weight of a rider; so that I might understand why something is not working, or what changes I need to make as a rider to help my horse do the things I'm asking for. 🌊 Hacking as you will never learn to ride properly in a square box arena. A hack is the best place to learn to compromise for various reasons! It's something I have always felt very strongly about as an instructor! This is my #wednesdaywisdom post for @rivieraprltd #trotinto2020 #wildatlanticwednesday #wildatlanticrider #eventingpodcast #horse
One minute you're enjoying a peaceful, relaxing paddle and the next thing ya know 🧨💥🤣 Swipe! Day 13? 14? Not sure but it's a "share a blooper" with your horse for the #trotinto2020 @rivieraprltd So here is 21 year old Solas reminding me of what a cheeky pup he is 🤣 Sooo graceful I am 😁 #shorterreins #bringasaddle #horsesofinstagram #seahorse #beachride #fail #horsefall #wildatlanticrider #WARider #WARHorse #cheekyboy #palomino #veteranhorse #notsoveteranhorse #goldenboy

Cider Apple 'Tremletts Bitter' (Late)
This old English cider apple will make a full bodied bitter-sweet cider when used by itself, or alternatively can blended with another variety. The deep red, conical shaped fruits are high in tannin and simply drop to the ground when they ripen in mid October. It crops heavily and has an upright growing habit and good frost resistance.
Cider apple trees are grafted on a MM106 semi-dwarfing rootstock and will reach an eventual height of 3.5-4.5m (10-15ft). Trees should be planted 3-4.5m (10-15ft) apart.
Cider apple trees are available for delivery from late November until late March.
Please remember that fruit trees do require staking for the first few years of their life, we also strongly recommend the use of rootgrow™ when planting to encourage strong root growth and aid establishment.
Tree stakes, rootgrow™ and fruit tree feed can be found by clicking on the 'related products' tab above.

TweakTown Holiday Buyers Guide 2010 (Page 4)
Boot Drive 200+GB Capacity
Product Model: Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB
Price: $534.99
Our Review: Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB
The current king of solid state drives is the Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB. The smaller 64GB and 128GB drives have reduced write speeds that make the Team SandForce SF-1200 offerings more appealing in smaller capacities, but the largest capacity size (256GB) delivers the full wrath of the latest Marvell SATA 6Gbit controller. You will need a SATA 6G port on your motherboard or an add-in card to achieve the full 355MB/s read speed, but add-in cards are inexpensive and your next motherboard is guaranteed to support SATA 6G. The write speed tops out at 215MB/s, but you don't have to worry about the drive slowing when writing compressed files like the Team SandForce drives.
The only downside is the price. With Crucial being the only company to release a retail product with the Marvell controller, the price hasn't dropped like the SandForce drives. The 256GB drive that we recommend costs North of 500 USD, but you will get a lot of love back from giving the fastest SSD on the planet.
Boot Drive 200GB Capacity or Less
Product Model: SandForce SF-1200
Price: $234.99
Our Review: Corsair Force F120
There are several SandForce SF-1200 products on the market and if you are looking for something less expensive than the 256GB C300, SandForce is your best bet. Even the 240GB SF-1200 drives are fast enough to rock your stockings and with a price of just 429 USD the Corsair Force F240 costs substantially less than the 525 Dollar C300.
The best bang for your Holiday Buck right now is definitely the 120GB SandForce drives. After looking around we found that Corsair also has the lowest priced drive in this capacity range. At the time of writing Newegg lists the Corsair F120 for 199.99 after a 30 Dollar mail in rebate. At that price I look for Newegg to sell out quickly; remember these drives originally sold for more than twice that price at launch. If that happens look for the OCZ Vertex 2 or G.Skill Phoenix Pro as these drives are also priced very low, just not as low at the F120.
SandForce recently released some new capacity sizes that fill the price gaps. The lowest priced option is the 40GB drives, but you can also find 60, 80, 100, 160 and 180GB drives. To keep things simple, we recommend the 120GB for its value and performance.
High Capacity Storage Drive
Product Model: 2TB HDDs
Price: Less Than 100 USD
With the recent release of 3TB drives, established 2TB HDDs have dropped to less than 100 USD. You can fit an awful lot of holiday cheer on a single 2TB drive, but with prices this low you might as well pick up two matching drives and put your motherboards RAID controller to good use.
Newegg currently lists the Samsung SpinPoint F4 as one of the lowest priced 2TB drives at 99.99, but we recommend the Seagate Barracuda LP at a great price of 89.99 USD. The Barracuda follows a long line of outstanding drives that stand the test of time. We have a pair of these drives on our test bench right now and will publish a full report by the end of the year.

I'm having to create some EER diagrams for my databases class, and I was wondering if there was a good one available for Mac that would be good to use. I found a few diagram tools on MacUpdate, but wasn't really sure if they were what I wanted. My instructor suggested xfig on Unix or Microsoft Visio...so that doesn't really help me much. I know (or think) you can do something similar in Word, but not exactly sure how. Any ides would be helpful

Strategic Enrollment Management
Strategic enrollment management is a "comprehensive process designed to help an institution achieve and maintain the optimum recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students, where 'optimum' is defined within the academic context of the institution." (Dolence, 1993). Strategic enrollment management is an inclusive process which attempts to build upon the institution's strategic plan in terms of defining specific enrollment goals and priorities. It should be long term in nature (forecasting 10 years; with annual review and revision) and be embraced by all levels of the institution, especially faculty (Bontrager & Brown, 2008; Henderson, 2005).

By Adam Cohen
Passivhaus is the world's strictest standard for building energy performance, and the most effective path to achieving net-zero energy use buildings. Unlike other green design standards, Passivhaus brings a laser-like focus on operating energy, which over the lifetime of a traditional building, quickly exceeds embodied energy (the energy used in the production and transport of construction materials, and the construction process itself).
Passivhaus buildings achieve overall energy usage reductions of 60 – 80% (and space heating and cooling demand reductions of 90%) through a combination of five strategies:
- Superinsulated, airtight, thermal bridge-free envelope – minimizes heat transfer through surface conduction and air movement.
- Balanced ventilation with energy recovery – provides 100% fresh air, preconditioned through high efficiency heat exchange.
- Efficient mechanical systems – decrease energy demand and internal heat gains.
- Passive elements – utilize building orientation and shading to optimize natural light and solar heat gain.
- Readiness for renewable integration – allows building to achieve net-zero energy by way of photovoltaics, solar thermal, geothermal, wind power, etc.
Unlike "check box" style green certifications like LEED, Passivhaus is entirely performance-based. Builders and Certified Passive House Consultants work together in Passivhaus design and construction to ensure that buildings perform to specification. To achieve Passivhaus certification, three key metrics must be met:
- 1.4 kWh/ft2 or 4.75 kBTU/ft2 annual heating and cooling demand
- 11.1 kWh/ft2 or 38.1 kBTU/ft2 annual total primary energy demand
- 0.6 ACH @ 50pa of air leakage
Besides the obvious advantage of reduced operating costs through lower energy use, Passivhaus high performance buildings set a new bar for building in the 21st century:
- Increased occupant comfort – by eliminating drafts and maintaining a maximum temperature differential of 4°C/7.2°F between the warmest and coolest indoor surfaces.
- Improved indoor air quality – through a constant, controlled supply of filtered, fresh air.
- Little to no marginal cost – increased costs to achieve the Passivhaus standard can be offset by downsized HVAC equipment; investment payoff occurs in 7 – 10 years.
- Passive resilience – as a result of their low-energy design, Passivhaus structures can maintain superior comfort over traditional buildings even in the event of power outages or other unforeseen circumstances.
- Potential for carbon neutrality – low energy demand, integrated with renewable energy technologies, can lead the way to a sustainable, carbon-free future.

Sunstone Winery in Santa Barbara, California
When we rebranded Diana Marie Photography, we decided our focus was going to be Private Estate weddings and so with that we have been reaching out to some of our favorite private venues to start photographing and sharing them with our brides on our blog. Earlier this year we had the pleasure of photographing the Chapel Designers Workshop at Sunstone Winery in Santa Barbara and were able to photograph the grounds and some stunning florals by Holly Chapple and the Chapel Designers. This venue blew us away and are happy to say they have added us to their preferred vendors list. What an honor that is and we can't wait to shoot at this gorgeous wedding venue again.

Royal Russia
Current edition: Hardback John Blake Publishing 2006
(1st published GB 1995 Hardback Smith Gryphon)
Royal Russia brings you 140 photographs from the private albums of the Russian Imperial Family with a 5,000 word historical introduction by Carol Townend. Carol tells the tragic tale in a clear, lucid and authoritative style. All rare or previously unpublished, the photographs, some formal, some delightfully informal, portray the last years of the Imperial Family. Beginning with portraits of a life of great luxury enjoyed in palaces and on grand estates, the story ends with the brutal execution of almost everyone pictured.
The Foreword by HRH Prince Michael of Kent, himself a blood relation of the Romanov family, reads:
'I am pleased to endorse this accurate and well-researched little book. The interesting photographs, some never published before, combine with the text to provide a telling account of this poignant and moving period of Russian history.'
The section headings are as follows: A Doomed Dynasty, Star-crossed Lovers, The Children of Tragedy, Mystics and Bolsheviks, End of the Empire, The Ekaterinburg Massacre.

Little Helpers, Big Lessons
Long before I even found out that I was pregnant with James, I decided that I wanted to be the type of parent that takes action rather than reacts to issues as they come up. Raising a human being doesn't just happen. It takes preparation, planning ahead, and thinking through how you are going to deal with and handle situations. There is no correct set of guidelines to follow. Each parent handles things differently, which is why every child is different.
One thing I have tried to be deliberate about from the beginning is having James help out around the house. I know it may sound crazy since James is only one and a half, but it's not like we wait until they understand language to speak to them, so why wait until they understand what chores are to ask them to help out?
I truly believe that if we make helping out fun, if we engage children as we help them do things around the house, and we step back to appreciate what we have accomplished, then maybe there will never be a need to bribe children into doing checklists of chores. If we fail to give children the positive outlook of chores being fun and productive activities we can do together, they will just do a quick and sloppy job at anything we force them to do down the road so that they can move on to what they really want to do. And who knows how this may affect their schooling and even their job performance in the future?... Do you see what I mean about being deliberate in my actions? Everything we do has a consequence!
The other benefit of allowing young children to "help" with chores is that you are interacting with them rather than trying to get something done quickly while they are playing by themselves (we all know that doesn't work anyway). Here's an example: I may be trying to make dinner, or throw some baked good in the oven for an event the next day, but James wants me to play with him. I could try to do everything by myself in the kitchen while repeating over and over "Hold on, sweetie, mommy will come play with you in a minute... why don't you go pick out a book and mommy will come read it in a minute?... Mommy just has to get this into the oven... James, hold on just a second..." on and on and on. This only results in a bite on the back of my leg. Not kidding. That's exactly what James does when he is frustrated that I am not paying attention to him. And guess what? He has learned that I will pay attention to him real fast if he bites me (not to mention, I will let out a pretty awesome sound!). Okay, now here is a different approach: I could not take myself or my schedule so seriously, put an apron on James, put on some fun music, plop him on the counter, and let him "help." The result: a huge mess, a 20 minute task takes an hour, the final product may suffer, but also a whole lot of giggling, dancing, and an important lesson learned: helping is fun and mommy cares more about spending time with you than making a perfect dinner.
Some other ways James "helps" out: putting toys or other items back into containers (I make this fun by having him stand back a little and throw them in, "Basket!"); switching laundry over from the washer to the dryer, or the dryer to a laundry basket (I hand him clothes, and he puts them where they go); carrying armloads of clothes or diapers down the hall to his bedroom and putting them away in the drawers (you have to let your perfectionism go on this one, the pjs will no longer be folded, or in the correct drawer!); taking recycle items out to the garage and putting them in the bins; emptying the dishwasher (he takes things out and hands them to me).... the list could go on, but I'm sure you get the point. Just remember: the things we teach them now will last their entire lives, so have fun, don't take yourself too seriously, and applaud them tremendously when they do help out, you will be surprised how much they will want to do.
(PS Could everyone please say a prayer/ light a candle/ send out good vibes/ whatever it is you do... We found a house we like and may be putting in our fourth -yes, fourth- offer on a house... more to come, and thanks!)

WASHINGTON — Fewer people are seeing political ads this presidential election cycle, but targeted voters in 10 swing states are getting barraged, according to the latest report by the Wisconsin Advertising Project.
Project researchers who analyzed Nielsen Monitor-plus data for two weeks (between Sept. 24 and Oct. 7) noted that residents of Ohio and Florida have been hardest hit by the blizzard of late ads as the Nov. 2 election approaches. Of the 10 markets that have seen the most political TV spots in those two weeks, five are in these two battleground states.
Project also found that markets in only 10 states — Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — comprise 44 of the overall top 50 ad markets this election season.
Furthermore, in the last two weeks, the top 50 markets saw 87% of the presidential ads even though they contain just 27% of the U.S. electorate. In large part, the only ads other Americans are seeing are running nationally on select cable nets.
Ad buys tell story
"The end game of this advertising battle is now purely about reaching the 270 electoral college votes needed and focusing resources on the handful of states where the result remains in any doubt," said professor Ken Goldstein, director of the project.
Goldstein suggested it will be interesting to see where the Bush and Kerry campaigns make their ad buys after the last debate today.
"More than snap polls and punditry, those decisions will tell us who won the debates and what effect they had on each candidate's chances of victory," he said.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils 15 Year Anniversary Collection
|First Trio from top down: Stray Dog, Corrupt, Bourbon, Second Trio: Midnight Cowboy, Baked, Stash, Third Trio: Mildew, Perversion, Electric, Fourth Trio: Binge, Ransom, Asphyxia, Fifth Trio, Rockstar, Zero, Uzi.
I've had a very happy time swatching this amazing set that launches into Debenhams on 15th February and then nationwide from 1st March. All the pencils applied really well – felt very soft and creamy, and I think produced beautiful, intense colours. If I have one complaint, it is that there is a bit too much brown. The colours are photographed under lamplight – it's dark outside!

Your swirl swatches are cute!
That is a ridiculous amount of browns, especially considering there is only one black, and no other near-blacks (ie: charcoal).
I usually associate Urban Decay with fantastic colour selection so this amount of brown is kind of disappointing.
Love the swatches but yes a lot of browns! x
I love the swirl swatches 🙂 You're right about the number of browns, but I still want it, I love the urban decay pencils 🙂
Ooooh amazing! Love your swirls heh so cute 🙂
When you get to my age you can never have enough browns, my days of rockin' the black or even the charcoal are over, so I for one applaud the browns. Thanks for this. Jan x
do you know the pricing of these yet?
I asked in store yesterday and it's £60, apparently all the pencils individually would be worth over £200 though…
I got this as a Christmas present, and had such a hard time deciding whether or not to keep it; it's lovely but I have one brown eyeliner that comes out about once a year, so couldn't justify holding onto 4 browns, 1 browny-green, 1 purply-brown, and some lighter brown-ish tones. I opted instead for the 24/7 Jackpot set, which had 9 fab colours in travel size, and one full-size Zero, and was able to afford to add the Deluxe Shadow box to my collection, which I've wanted for ages. I guess if you're a makeup artist who would use the full spectrum of browns and loves Urban Decay over other brands, it's probably a good buy but I guess I'm a die-hard brights n' blacks girl!
These colours are so cool. I'm a huge Urban Decay fan, so I can't wait to have some new colours to play with.

Being brought up in a Buddhist society and later involved in the Young Men's Buddhist Association, I regularly participated in the International Buddhist Conference since 1988 which used to be held every two years. I was so much captivated from the conference that I even financed myself to be a part of it. Similarly in the year 1994, during my participation, I proposed in the conference to start a pilgrimage tour from Nepal to Thailand, Singapore and surprisingly it was passed.
As I was engaged in outfit business that was running from generations, tourism was a completely new area for me. Due to my keen interest, the first tour was a bingo. It was so successful that I, in partnership with my friends, drove into the same line as a tour organizer and made tourism a side business. Later on, as the time passed by, my interest became a dream, a full-time business, which led my dream to be a reality. I introduced outbound tour packages that would cater every client including pilgrimage, holidaymakers, honeymooners, medical, business professionals etc. My special concern was to provide quality and integrated services to the value customers in a very much homely environment.
Today we are established as a Pioneer Outbound and Inbound Tour Operator in Thailand and Nepal and the only tour operator that organizes tour packages for wide destinations including some of the hidden heritage of the world. The company is looking forward to have its agents in different parts of the world, adding more destinations and aiming to work as an ambassador for the International Buddhist Society. As a course of its expansion, it is also looking forward to tie up with renowned International Business Partners.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all friends and our loyal customers for their continuing support and encouragement that has tremendously helped for expansion and development of the company. I am indeed very much thankful to all for their contribution and hope for the long lasting relationship in the days to come.

Top October stories: HP's partners grow impatient on PC decision
HP partners were frustrated with the company's inability to decide what to do with its PC business. Also, VARs are seeking flexible alternatives to SharePoint.
Continuing the three-month saga, HP partners were still unhappy with the company's indecisiveness on its PC division in October. Also in October, there were some partners who have been finding success offering public customers open source solutions instead of SharePoint. In addition to those stories, electronic waste service opportunities was a popular topic among SearchITChannel.com readers.
Read through the rest of SearchITChannel.com's top October 2011 stories:
1. HP partners hold the line ahead of PC strategy decision
Though Hewlett-Packard ended up holding onto its PC business, the way it handled the PC decision irked its partners. HP maintained that it was still considering all of its options up until the end of October and left partners wishing the $40.1 billion business wasn't in limbo. Partners continued to offer customers PCs because HP made declarations that warranties and products would still be valid and include technical support.
2. Solutions providers see demand for SharePoint alternatives
Solution providers are taking a long look at options beyond SharePoint for customers and, so far, they like what they see. Often because of price, open source offerings are gaining traction in the channel, especially with government and education customers. With reduced license fees that include installation, configuration and customization, open source alternatives can offer a lower total cost of ownership. Features such as social networking also factor into decisions because SharePoint's wikis and blogs aren't as strong as some open source offerings.
3. IT solution providers look for electronic waste management opportunities
Electronic waste (e-waste) services are quickly becoming something that both solution providers and their customers need to consider. For VARs, it's a chance for a strong value-add, and for customers, managing end-of-life equipment properly is something the government is keeping a close eye on. By proving they can handle data destruction services, VARs can win customer trust and deals.
4. New HP PartnerOne MDF and service opportunities appeal to VARs
To Hewlett-Packard partners going from "Elite" to "specialized," names and titles aren't as important as the new MDF and service opportunities that HP will provide for them. In 2012, they will have access to a new program called Marketing Depot, which will give partners more marketing funds and tools. Partners are happy with these changes because they think HP is recognizing individual success.
5. Disaster recovery applications drive SMB virtualization adoption
Not surprisingly, server virtualization is still growing with small and medium-sized businesses. But channel partners are now employing it in disaster recovery solutions and as a management tool. Having data on virtual servers instead of on tape makes it easier for VARs to recover and manage it. They can also sell customers on the idea that virtual servers are not just cost effective, but also make life easier in the event of data loss.

Disclosure: I received a free product sample for review purposes. All experiences and opinions are my own. Yours may differ.
Picking bedding for children can be tricky if you start thinking too much about it. It's hard because you want to get something they like but you also want it to last. Fads, styles, trends and even taste changing quickly so the key is to get something classic. If your children share a room then you have an extra layer of tricky trying to get coordinating bedding.
I love Beyond Bedding a LOT. I've been a fan of the website and their products for about 2 years now. Their selection of new baby bedding sets, children's bedding and even their custom teen and toddler bedding is so cute and so varied, it's easy to get something for everyone.
My kids recently got bunk beds, which caused a shuffle in rooms and created a need for new bedding. My daughter switched from a queen bed to a full. I was excited for this opportunity to also get new bedding for her. Since I love Beyond Bedding, already own some of their bedding, and love the $7.95 flat rate US shipping, I headed to that site to see what I could find.
I had a hard time shopping because there were so many cute designs, colors and patterns I wanted all of it! I especially loved the Chevron bedding, but when I considered my daughters tastes, my sons bedding that kind of needed to coordinate (at least a little) and picking something that could last several years I decided to go with the Hooty Owl Children's bedding. I picked this set because it is very different than any bed set she has ever owned. It wasn't as girlie as she usually chooses, and we've never gotten bedding with a "character" on it.
One reason I LOVE this bedding is because of the adorable details. There is a lot of beautiful embroidery stitching. There is also a combination or patterns and fabrics. For example, the twig the owl sits on as well as one of the leaves is a fuzzy fabric. I love that there is a combination of patterns and textures on the bedding. It really makes a beautiful piece of decor in my daughter's bedroom.
Another fabulous thing about Beyond Bedding is that they also carry a ton of accessories for each of their bed sets. You can get the curtains, wall hangings, pillows, laundry baskets and more! Pretty much any accessory you need in the room and that you want to match, they carry.
Giveaway Time
Beyond Bedding is giving away 10 Bedding sets from their Children and teen lines. This giveaway will run from July 21 through August 4, 2014. This giveaway is open to US only. Enter through the Rafflecopter form below.

Due to circumstances it may occur that a cleaning and/or disinfection* of your drinking water system or cooling tower is necessary to eliminate the bacterium and clear out pollution.
Prior to carrying out such drastic action, it is very important to know what the cause of the pollution is. Our experience shows that the standard management plan for this isn't always the solution. A targeted source investigation for the cause of the pollution or contamination is an essential importance to achieve a worthy outcome. Rushing the cleaning process and hoping that bacteria's will be eliminated with resampling, will cost a lot of money and won't solve the problems. A source investigation like that can be executed by one of our consultants.
When this source investigation shows that the system is technically in good shape, the cleaning and disinfection of the system can take place. First it must be determined whether disinfection alone is sufficient. Then, the method of cleaning or disinfection must be customized on the basis of the status of the system and used piping materials and fittings.
Cleaning and disinfection with disinfectants is executed by us with CTGB admission as prescribed by law.
*Disinfection is the killing of the bacteria. Cleaning is the elimination of large amounts of debris accumulation such as lime, biofilm and algae.

When we started playing around with this hairstyle, it totally seemed like something a viking princess would've worn, hence the name we gave it. It also as a cute modern boho look that is fits right in with styles that are becoming popular today!
For this tutorial, we only created the braid on one side, simply to accent the fluffy ponytail. You could do this on both sides for an even more "viking" look. We began the hairstyle with 2nd-day curls as a base, only because we didn't want a fully curled and defined look. We wanted the hairstyle to still have volume, but not over the top. The rest of the steps are super easy to follow.
I can see girls of all ages wearing this braid and ponytail, especially for girls in sports. It is just another cute way to spice up a simple ponytail.

Perhaps it's a sly dig at Malcolm Turnbull, who in the 1990s, grew rich from his stake in the internet company Ozemail, but when the time came for Tony Abbott to resign his commission as prime minister today, he broke with tradition and didn't head to Yarralumla, governor-general Sir Peter Gosgrove's residence, to inform him personally. He didn't even email.
Veteran political correspondent Laurie Oakes reports that the former PM sent a fax to tender his resignation.
RESIGNED BY FAX: @LaurieOakes reports @TonyAbbottMHR did not go to Government House to tender resignation. He faxed it.
— Samantha Maiden (@samanthamaiden) September 15, 2015
For millennials going "what?" right now, facsimile machines were popular technology in the 1990s and the era of dial up internet, a sort of photocopier-meets-telephone that played a starring role in Back to the Future II. Its history actually dates back 150 years.
Perhaps, like the former PM's love for knights and dames, it shows Abbott preferred a world slightly older than the one that currently exists.
But as Faxcore explains, one reason for the fax's resilience – the modern fax machine notched up 50 years last years – is it remains a relatively secure system that's difficult to intercept, even over analog telephone line, so it's good for sending sensitive documents. No that Abbott stepping down was top secret.
But to use a term new prime minister Malcolm Turnbull embraces, the fax industry has suffered considerable disruption, although it remains popular in Japan.

Over the weekend, an anonymous video was posted to the My Stealthy Freedom Facebook page depicting a young woman's frightening encounter with the morality police in Tehran. Presumably pulled over for not wearing the veil while driving — obligatory for female drivers in Iran — the police took the woman's documents and, as onlookers filmed, attempted to run her over when she stepped in front of the police vehicle and demanded her papers be returned.
The video lasts only 30 seconds and onlookers can be heard reacting with distress as they watch the young woman risk her life when she begins to argue with the police, moving from the open door of the van around to the front and placing her hands over the hood of the car. Clearly nonplussed, the police pull the van forward knocking her to the ground and dragging the woman until her legs slide under the vehicle. Watch the full video below at My Stealthy Freedom.
Standing up to morality police van
When morality police took her documents, she stood in their way… see what happened next This harrowing incident was filmed in the streets of Tehran. The woman in this video had been stopped by the morality police as she was trying to get back her documents, which were confiscated presumably due to her lack of observance of the compulsory veil while driving. She resisted them by risking her life. How many other Iranian women have experienced similar ordeals whereby their cars were impounded because they were not wearing the veil while driving? Or fined? Does anyone have more information on this?A female university student sent the following note to My Stealthy Freedom: "My car was impounded in the street due to my veil. They confiscated my student card and told me that they would not give it back. They threatened me by telling me that either I had to get into their car or, if not, I would have to go to the police station to pick up my student card. I responded to them, 'The card you are holding is a photocopied version; you can keep it all you want! I don't need it and I don't really care whether you confiscate it or not!'. I just walked away after uttering those words because they can go to hell". #NoMoreMoralityPoliceپليس مدارك اين زن را از او مي گيرد وقتي هم مقاومت مي كند براي پس گرفتن مداركش اين اتفاق مي افتد. . چند نَفَر از زنان ايران تجربه مشابه دارند كه ماشين شان به جرم رانندگي بدون حجاب متوقف شد؟ توقيف شد يا جريمه دريافت كردند؟ كسي اطلاعات بيشتري در اين مورد دارد؟
Posted by My Stealthy Freedom آزادی یواشکی زنان در ایران on Saturday, May 6, 2017
Masih Alinejad, the publisher of My Stealthy Freedom and a Women in the World contributor, has been documenting such incidents for years now. Beneath the video, Alinejad posted the account of another woman who said she experienced a similar run-in with morality police "due to my veil." The woman said the police subjected her to similar intimidation practices until she finally walked away from the situation.

Save Energy the Shagadelic Way: How to Insulate Your Refrigerator
Impress your friends, who will secretly pet your fridge as they reach in for a beer.
How often do you get to start a serious post with a quote like that? Thanks to our friends over at Chelsea Green, for sharing their favorite project from Stephen and Rebekah Hren, authors of The Carbon-Free Home. Chelsea Green explains the step-by-step instructions on how to insulate your refrigerator and add shag carpeting as a finishing touch -- with shagadelic effect.
If you are more family-oriented, this project has the perfect answer for you too: a cork-board fridge where your little angels can pin their projects while you save on your energy bills. Refrigerators consume, on average, 8% of your household energy budget. And if the current economic situation makes an upgrade of your old box to Energy Star standard, then this project could be especially useful for you.
While you are at it, take a look at the flexible gasket sealing your fridge and icebox door. If these are damaged or have become stiff, you may be losing a lot of energy at the seals. Contact the manufacturer: replacement gasket may be available. If not, you can use a fits-all gasket or adhesive closed-cell foam tape in the worst case. You can find more tips at How Stuff Works.

Back to School Tool Guide: 7 Amazing Back-to-school Presentation Applications
For a classroom lesson, especially a class that will matter, today's school staff would prefer a dynamic slideshow (remaining original in PowerPoint or reformed in SCORM-compliant video, DVD, Flash) to a chalk-and-blackboard interpretation.

Mr Pickering stressed that Mr Rowlands's contribution to the global development of the game was massive. As a player he had reached the heights with both Wales and the British and Irish Lions, and he also channelled the same degree of passion and enthusiasm into his role as a respected administrator with Wales and the IRB.
In over a decade of dedicated service to the IRB Mr Rowlands was an important driving force behind the introduction of the Rugby World Cup and its development into one of the foremost sporting events in the world. His death will be mourned throughout the rugby community.
Mr Pickering said that Mr Rowlands began his long association with the IRB in 1983 as a Welsh Rugby Union representative, and had been, until his retirement in 1996, closely involved with the game's governing body as a Council Member and then as Chief Executive, having been appointed after the first Rugby World Cup in 1987.
He added it should not be forgotten that Mr Rowlands was one of the visionaries who voted in favour of staging the first Rugby World Cup at the Paris Meeting in 1985 and from that point on, his strong involvement with Rugby World Cup burgeoned, both as a Member of the Organising Committee for the inaugural tournament and also as a Director for Rugby World Cup 1991.
Mr Rowlands remained closely involved in the administration and development of Rugby World Cup until his retirement in 1996, driving its development as the IRB's Chief Executive Officer and playing a large role in laying the foundations for the global success that the tournament enjoys today.
In 1997, Mr Rowlands was asked by then IRB Chairman Vernon Pugh QC and RWC Chairman Leo Williams to come out of retirement and lend his considerable experience to managing RWC 1999 in Wales. The tournament was a resounding commercial success.
After the conclusion of RWC 1999, Mr Rowlands's love of the game ensured he remained actively involved in rugby as Patron of Aberaman RFC, President of Rhiwbina RFC, the Welsh Academicals and the Welsh Deaf Rugby Association, and the Welsh Players Charitable Trust and, of course as WRU President, a position he was recently re-elected to for a third consecutive term.
The Chairman stated that Mr Rowlands will be remembered not just as a great stalwart and champion of Welsh Rugby both as a player and an administrator, but also as a dedicated IRB Council Member, General Secretary and Chief Executive of the IRB. The thoughts of everyone associated with Welsh rugby are with his devoted family at this difficult time.
Mr Ken Hewitt added that he and his fellow Directors were eternally grateful for the friendship and encouragement Mr Rowlands had given to all.
Gareth Edwards, the legendary Wales and Lions scrum half and former Cardiff RFC teammate of Mr Rowlands, said: "Keith was club captain when I first arrived there as a 19-year-old and I remember the warmth and generosity of his welcome to the club. He was the one person I remember more than anyone else who put his arm around me, took me into the dressing room and told me to come and meet the boys."
Derek Morgan, a former Wales Secondary School teammate, England international and former President of the RFU, added: "Keith was always a difficult man to play against on the field, and a lovely man off it. He had a great career as a player and then a marvellous one as a rugby administrator."
Sir Brian Lochore, a former New Zealand captain, coach and team manager, said: "As a man and as a player he was always the same - a very big and strong personality. He was 'Mr IRB' and he did a tremendous job for world rugby. I believe a big reason for that was the respect and support he gained around the world - and certainly in New Zealand. He was a total gentleman."

There will be even more exhibits, performances, art, lectures, at the "Build Your Own World" Biennial from September 16-19 in San Jose. From what I have seen online, it looks pretty amazing. I have also seen one preview on the news. It was an art installation by Luke Jerram of pianos in the street called "Play Me I'm Yours". I love anything, but especially art, that engages the public to interact and participate in the community. This Biennial does just that. Here is what the Steve Dietz, Artistic Director, and Jaime Austin, Assistant Curator have to say:

I told her we have the Road to Wellness with the excellent Meredith on board, but thank you for the offer.
Here's what I found really interesting, though. She said, "Currently your newsletter is fairly focused on self actualization, so not sure it fits."
I used to see these things separately, too. I mean, nutrition is one course, physical fitness is another, and personal growth is its own genre...right?
But then this happened.
I started working with a personal trainer and lifting weights.
I started getting stronger.
I started toning up.
I started feeling better about myself.
I got divorced.
My self worth crashed.
I ate ice cream, pizza, bread and cookies to feel better.
I drank to feel better.
I knew WHAT to do, I just wasn't doing it.
I was working out but not losing any weight.
I was using food for comfort.
I was using food for loneliness.
My corporate job was really stressful.
I was using food to cope with stress.
I wanted to lose weight but was stuck.
I knew what to eat, but chose a lot of junk.
Short term comfort and instant gratification overrode all else.
I knew WHAT to do, I just wasn't doing it.
I kept lifting.
I started running.
I learned about heart rate zones.
I knew I needed to slow down and walk to be aerobic, but I wanted to run.
I started trying to eat better.
I knew vegetables were better than processed carbs.
I knew broccoli was better than french fries.
I knew WHAT to do, I just wasn't doing it.
I went to a support group at a local church.
I talked about the death of my parents in a very real way.
Something started to heal.
I turned to food less and to God more.
I began sitting with my emotions instead of running from them.
I kept lifting.
I started walking.
I went to another support group to deal with my shame and guilt.
I experienced radical, miraculous healing and freedom.
I knew what to do, and started doing it.
It felt natural.
I didn't have to force it or count points, calories or macros.
I started feeling like I was worth something.
I saw that what I ate mattered, but if I allowed it, sabotage would override my best intentions.
I kept lifting.
I kept walking.
I kept sitting with and processing my thoughts and feelings instead of running, escaping or numbing them.
I found some plant-strong whole food recipes I really liked and made them each week.
I knew what to do, and was learning to do it.
Right foot, left foot.
One day at a time.
Some days were better than others.
Some days weren't good at all, so I learned how to receive forgiveness and move on instead of beating myself up and staying stuck.
Some days were great.
Lift. Cardio. Plant-strong whole food. Good sleep. Healthy processing of thoughts and feelings. Water.
I knew what to do, and I was doing it.
Never perfectly. So what.
For me, it was ALL connected.
How I felt about myself.
My identity and worth as a human being.
My good-enough-ness.
What I ate.
How much I drank.
Whether I exercised.
What time I went to bed.
It was ALL connected.
I had to learn to stop looking for more information (the what to do), and instead I had to look within (at the I just don't do it). The answers were in there all along.
If you've ever had a terrible day that led to an all out food binge, you know what I mean. There was no stopping that self- loathing back then. That took inner healing and freedom.
Soon after, ice cream, pizza, bread and cookies became something I had only every now and then. And most often, by choice, not by some crazed place within me that I could not control no matter how much willpower I tried to drum up.
Nutrition is cool.
Physical fitness is cool.
But you can know a whole lot about both, and still not do it. That's where I think it gets interesting. What's your story? What are your buried wounds and when are they triggered to call the shots and plan your menu? What happened to your self worth or identity that led to a struggle in this area of your life?
That's where I think it gets interesting.
The miraculous intersection of knowledge and faith. Wisdom and grace. Knowing what to do, and actually doing it, from a place of peace and divine confidence that comes from knowing that we each have a journey to take, back to authentic worthiness, already good-enough-ness and wholeness.
WHOLE istic.
That powerful place where healthy choices come naturally and without dieting, white knuckling, will power or deprivation. Simply because that's the way we are made.

Learning the neighborly customs of a new community has been a very interesting part of our move to a new state and it has been both a comical adjustment and a new way of life. We live in an area where people are very outdoorsy and hike and walk a lot - and there are no sidewalks - so you have to be careful and you have to share the road - and the speed limit is very slow. There are very often people walking up and down the roads.
When I first arrived a man waved at me as I was driving down the street and I thought he must know someone with a similar car and have me confused with that person. Then it kept happening day after day and I thought wow a lot of these people have me confused with someone else.
Then it dawned on me that they were being "neighborly." What a shock after spending most of my adult life in Los Angeles where ignoring your neighbors and pretending they don't exist is usually the norm unless you live in a stable community where people buy a house and stay for years.
I remember when I was young and we would visit family in California we always found it so strange that neighbors don't really get to know each other or talk to each other there. Of course there are exceptions to this, but in many neighborhoods throughout CA this is the case. But by the time I left California I knew exactly why people didn't get to know their neighbors and didn't make a lot of eye contact or say hello and although I was always cordial I was not going out of my way to be chatty with people either.
I realized that when you live jammed packed in an area with that many people, many of whom are very transient, with people continually moving in and moving out, your only privacy is your home. That is really the only place where you can have a moments peace and quiet and not be invaded by other people. So home becomes a necessary and important sanctuary from all the noise and people and people are tired when they get home from work and just want to be left alone for a little silence.
So we weren't unfriendly, but just very used to this environment where everyone stays to themselves, they don't make eye contact and don't say hello when you pass on the street. I'm sure to some people this sounds horrific - lol - but it wasn't all bad. You really do crave privacy and space.
