Over the weekend I've decided that the Reserve Bank should hire The Mentalist.
They are currently not taking into account the unique psychological problems that home buyers are burdened with.
In fact, their plans to implement LVR restrictions highlight a clear misunderstanding of how inelastic demand for "houses" is here.
The central assumption of my mental model is that the median home buying couple will do anything to get a house.
They will beg, borrow and steal in order to "get on the housing ladder" or some other reason that highlights their inability to think like an economist.
Real estate agents know how emotional home buyers can be. They even refurnish open homes to include children's toys in nurseries to tug the heart strings and enhance the idea that "this is where we can build a family".
What we know from the addiction literature is that addicts are quite price-insensitive.
I posit that the majority of New Zealand house buyers are housing addicts.
Therefore, raising the price of houses through making it harder to borrow with a low deposit will have 3 effects on the market for "houses":
- Borrowing from finance companies will rise to top-up deposits.
- Parents and grandparents will give their kids way more money than necessary.
- Nothing will change the supply (it's restricted) and demand (it's growing) story in Auckland so restrictions could actually increase house prices even more than before the policy is implemented.
The Reserve Bank, if it really wanted to do something around making people jump through more hoops in order to obtain mortgage financing for an asset that shifts household consumption onto a whole other level of assorted expenses (rates, insurance, maintenance, kitchen remodelling etc) should hire The Mentalist.
The Mentalist would be tasked with building a clear psychological profile of "house" addicts and figuring out trigger words that could be used to reframe the stupidity of buying a house with a 5% deposit.
Through conducting focus groups and surveys that highlight the similarities between drug addicts and couples desperate to get on the housing ladder "no matter what", bank risk management and credit control teams will receive a signal that they're dealing with a very special type of client.
Sadly, The Mentalist is currently doing advertisements for ANZ. And that's why the public sector regulators will always lose out to the private sector. They pay their experts more.

Information About Storm Drains
Did you know that three of the most common waste materials filtered out of storm drainage by storm drain filters are wrappers from food and candy, cigarette butts, and discarded paper?
Because these pollutants are so common in storm drainage, and because stormwater pollution can travel long distances through unseen aquifiers, making it harder to deal with than surface pollution, filters for storm drainage are incredibly important. Stormwater filters such as catch basins are often the first opportunity to keep pollutants out of storm drainage. These catch basin inserts can also remove hydrocarbons and contaminants, including metal, sand, and silt from stormwater runoff, in addition to the litter and solid waste materials listed above. These storm drain filters keep this debris and pollutants out of the water stream. Fossil filter inserts specialize in capturing petroleum based hydrocarbons, keeping oil, fuel, and antifreeze on track to a sanitation plant, rather than in the water being returned to lakes and streams. Fossil filters are often considered the cheapest way to meet required water quality standards.
These filters for storm drainage are found in most cities in the United States. Most storm drainage systems empty into lakes, rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, which shows further why filtering the drainage is so important. This water is not only used for recreational purposes, but gets drawn off to be the drinking water of nearby towns and cities. Considering the types of pollutants that get into the drainage, keeping them out of these bodies of water is essential to the safety of the community. Because of this, towns and cities are required by the Federal EPA Water Quality Standards to apply for storm water permits before using water from these bodies of water, to prevent water pollution. Therefore, having a filter system for this storm drainage will ensure that towns can use the readily accessible water in their immediate area.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft wallpaper available at: http://eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/media/#wallpaper
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the the upcoming release of a new free-to-play strategy card game for PC, Mac and iPad which will be called Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. There will be a hands-on demo at PAX East this weekend, but beta testing is coming soon. To make sure you are ready for the beta just make sure that you sign up for this in your beta profile settings on battle.net.
In the game, players build card decks baed around one of nine WoW character classes (we don't know what the nine will be as yet out of the available classes here: warrior, paladin, hunter, rogue, priest, death knight, shaman, mage, warlock, monk or druid) and play each other for the chance to win new cards… oh, and for the win, we can't forget about that! The game is designed so that all players, even if they have never played WoW before, will be able to pick it up and start playing straight away. You will be able to play against the computer in practice matches, pitting your wits against some of the great strategists of Azeroth, and take on your friends via your battle.net friends list. You will also be able to play in two competitive game modes:
Play Mode
A typical head-to-head with a chance to increase your ranking and earn new cards.
The Forge
Players start with a new deck of cards and use that to play other Forge challengers. Players will not only be able to win new cards but add to their collections by buying new card packs or disenchanting existing cards to craft ones that they might be missing.
There will be hundreds of different cards to choose from featuring all your favourite characters from WoW, their spells and weapons, but it will be up to you to build your deck and create winning strategies.

According to The International Data Corporation (IDC ) 3.2 billion people, or 44% of the world's population, have internet connections in 2016. Out of them, more than 2 billion are mostly using mobiles to access the internet. So it is the time to optimise your website for mobile viewing. Now a days people are more likely depending on mobiles rather than computer's, so you should also focus on mobile users and make sure you are catering to this market.
Check out the points below to understand what are the do's & don'ts
- Make Things Easier For Viewers: A mobile optimised website has to be clearly visible and less interactive. Viewers shouldn't have to use "Zoom" options for reading. It should be more or less like reading an e-book. Users don't have to scroll the screen vertically.
- Proper Layout: Layout shouldn't be like a desktop. It has to simple and readable.
- Proper Branding With Website: There have to be similarities between Desktop websites and Mobile websites. Like you need to keep similar icon, logos etc.
- Less use of Flash or Java: You have to keep that in mind that mobile users don't like any distractions while surfing. So your mobile site should be devoid of Flash or JAVA elements.
- Avoid Using Pop-Up Windows: Pop-Ups are really annoying for visitors. Sometimes people just ignore your website due to the use of pop-ups, so be careful about that.
- Use Mobile Redirects: Ensure that mobile website visitors are redirecting to your mobile version of website. For example: Suppose someone is searching for onlinessucess.com in google then the visitor will hit the m.onlinessuccess.com version of your website. So the mobile version of your website site made a subdomain called "m".
Difference Between Regular & Mobile Websites
- We all have the conception that a mobile website is just a smaller version of a desktop website, but actually it's not. It will take you to an another platform where almost everything you will get by your fingers without using a mouse.
- You will get a useful option of Click To Call Options. So you can understand that how easy it would be for your customers to call to your given no.
- All the images, graphics, etc will be easily accessible for users as these elements will be optimised for mobiles also.
- Location Feature will help your customers to get your address more easily.
Now Getting Into The Technical Part
Components needed to design a mobile optimised website
- Use Meta Viewer Tag: This tag incorporates how a website will be displayed in a mobile screen. Without this tag websites will fail to appear in mobile view and only show you desktop version which will be pathetic for mobile viewers.
- Use Touchswipe: This is a simple J-Query plugin that mostly needed for input devices such as Ipad, Mobile Phones etc.
- Use Beautiful ICONS: A beautiful ICON can reflect your thoughts. So to make your mobile website less crowded use conventional ICONS to avoid writing unnecessary words.
- Take The Advantages Of Bootstrap: A good mobile website can't be made without frameworks like This kind of framework will allow you to create perfect design and layout which is most important. But before diving into Bootstrap gain some knowledge about HTML, CSS and Java Script.
- You can Use Foundation 3 Also: This is also a popular advanced responsive Front-end Framework. By this you can do more customization in your mobile websites like removing Icons or certain elements, can change colours and font etc.
- Use Skeleton For Minimal Customization: You can use this simple framework as per your requirements. You can customise some standard HTML elements with it. If you are having smaller projects you can definitely go for it.
- USE COMPRESSION TOOLS: To reduce the loading time of your mobile web page you can use several HTML Compressor tools or Gzip. These will remove unnecessary comments and spaces from your web page.You can do some CSS tweaks by using CSS minifier and CSS Compressor. You can reduce the size of the images also. We all know that images or videos can create a great impact on human mind. So it is important to place images properly in your web pages. You will find many image compression tools to reduce the size of images without compromising the quality like EWWW Image Optimizer, smush.it, optiPNG etc.
- Use Correct Fonts: To make your site more attractive you should choose your fonts carefully. Try to keep the font size large and clear so that viewers can see your messages or contents properly. Don't use a stylish font in paragraphs. This way your contents can engage your viewers.
What Google Webmaster Can Do for your Mobile Website?
After optimising your website for mobile devices, the first thing you need to do is to integrate your website to google webmaster tool. Webmaster Tool can help you in many ways like –
- You can check that your website is mobile-friendly or not by using the mobile-friendly option of webmaster tool.
- Google webmaster tells you to configure the redirection method properly. Like many mobile website owners divert their visitors directly to their desktop website which is totally wrong. You can also check the Crawl Errors in your website from google webmaster tool.
- You can also control Robots.txt files from google webmaster tool.
- You will have to use PageSpeed Insights tool option also of webmaster tool to check the loading speed of your web page.
The mobile world continuously changing and you have to compete with this fast-paced digital world. So to grow your business or to increase traffic to your website or blog you should create a perfectly optimised mobile version of your website or blog.

I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year. He recently admitted to me that he was generally attracted to a different body type than mine and that he sometimes finds me physically unattractive.
He now feels awful for telling me, and he likes me in every other way. He says he and I just click, he's happy, and he's never been in a relationship so long.
He also emphasized that this was not how he always feels about me, but fuck, what do I do with this? I am not an unattractive lady. I love him and I don't want to lose him, but ughhh...
Sarah A — online
Hey Sarah,
Wow, I'm so sorry! That must have been incredibly painful to hear and a real hit to your ego. Ouch!
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there are plenty of guys out there who will be attracted to you just as you are. The bad news is that this situation is not good news for your relationship.
There are some folks who sign up for a companionate relationship, where it's not about attraction and physicality but rather about hanging out together and being there for each other through the good and the bad. This kind of partnership is based on mutual respect, good company, and integrity. If this is something you want to sign up for, you could stay.
I happen to be a woman who does not have a classically "attractive" body type, and I looked long and hard for someone who found all of this attractive, just how it is. Personally, I couldn't be with someone who didn't find me yummy. In fact, there were a couple of really great guys who liked me for everything else and wanted to give it a go to see if I'd "grow" on them, but I'm not a vine. You either love it—all of it—or you don't, end of story.
I came to this conclusion through my fifteen years of studying men. I've learned from interviewing hundreds of them that we don't "grow on" guys the way guys can grow on us. Remember back to that one guy you maybe dated in college? He wasn't hot to you when you met him, but once you got to know him better and saw his whip-smart humor, his kindness, and his style, he grew on you? Yeah, men don't tend to go through the same process as we do when it comes to attraction.
I know ending a relationship is messy and kind of a big deal, so I'm not telling you to do that. I am asking you to ask yourself: Is it enough to stay with someone who doesn't find me attractive and desirable?
Being desired is an important ingredient in an intimate relationship. As women, when we're not desired or wanted sexually by our mate, over time, a little part of our spirit dies. And I don't want that for you.
Look deep, and good luck.

Does Medicare Supplement Insurance Have Annual Open Enrollment?
Unfortunately, the annual open enrollment period (October 15 to December 7) only applies to Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plans. When you first become eligible for Medicare, you are entitled to open enrollment for Medicare Supplement plans because you can add one of 10 different forms of Medigap Insurance to fill in gaps in Medicare's coverage.
During the open enrollment period for Medigap plans, insurance companies cannot decline your application because your health requires a lot of medical attention. In fact, they don't even ask about your health at that time. This initial open enrollment period gives you a great opportunity to get whatever Medigap plan you prefer at the standard premium price regardless of your pre-existing conditions.
Depending on the state where you live, you may be able to find other open enrollment periods for Medigap Insurance. Occassionally, an insurance company will offer a form of open enrollment, too. For 2011, Anthem is offering to accept applications for people who want to move from one Medigap plan to a different one that has equal or fewer benefits and they are not asking any questions about your health. That allows people with pre-existing conditions to get a new plan even though most insurance companies would reject their application.
If you have questions about when you'll have the best chance to get the coverage you want, sign up for our free, live Question and Answer Teleseminar here on our website. You can listen to what people in your situation are asking and call our expert hosts to discuss your concern directly. We'll also go over the basics to be sure you are aware of all your options so you can make the best decision for your situation.

Splash art for the new Star Guardian skins featuring Ahri, Ezreal, Miss Fortune, Soraka, and Syndra have all been added to the League of Legends Public Beta Environment.
The new batch of skins was announced Tuesday and follows the original five Star Guardian skins for, Lux, Lulu, Poppy, Janna, and Jinx. Since the announcement, a video trailer for the release in Japan, a new game mode called Invasion, and figurines of the first five Star Guardians have all followed, feeding into the Start Guardian frenzy.
The Star Guardian skins have been some of the game's most celebrated and elaborate concepts. Along with new particle effects, custom recalls, and sound effects, the previous Star Guardian expansion also had a fully animated 3D music video in both English and Japanese. There was also an online quiz that players could take, which unlocked a summoner icon upon completion. The skins are heavily influenced by the designs of Japan's magical girl genre of anime, and the original idea was a skin for only the champion Lux.
The new skins follow the skin line's trend of unique sound effects, visual flairs, particle effects, and custom recall animations. The Syndra, Soraka, Miss Fortune, and Ezreal skins will all cost 1,350 Riot Points each (about $10), and Star Guardian Ahri will be 1,820 RP ($15). This is a trend that was mirrored with the previous release of the Star Guardian skins, as Star Guardian Jinx was the only skin that cost 1,820 RP.
As the most expensive of the bunch, Star Guardian Ahri will receive all of the new effects but also new voice lines, a unique recall animation and voice line interactions with certain champions. Check out all the skins below:

Star Guardian Ezreal
Star Guardian Miss Fortune

Hi Everyone!
Wow! I can't believe it's already December! I can definitely admit that 2012 has been a year filled with surprises, joy, and love. I hope 2013 is just as great!
I've decided to post this entry as an answer to Linh's question on what my new cleansing products are.
Linh introduced me to Bioderma a few months ago. At the time, I was using an oil based Maybelline makeup remover so I just poured the Crealine H2O into a mason jar and stuck it in my fridge for a few months. After a while, I just lost hope that I would ever finish that Maybelline makeup remover and picked up the Bioderma to add some spice to my cleansing routine.
WOW! I can honestly say that I am super duper impressed by this one. I use it to remove eye makeup. It removes everything very easily except for waterproof mascara, which I'm okay with because mascara that removes too easily usually are raccooners. One of the neatest things about Bioderma Crealine H2O is that it doesn't sting, irritate my eyes, or leave behind that greasy feeling after use. Even better, cold Crealine H2O acts as a great and refreshing cold compress when I'm ready to take off my makeup at the end of the day.
I just pulled out this Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser because it was just sitting around and not getting enough love. I haven't used this enough to develop much of an opinion. So far it cleanses all right. Used with my Clarisonic Mia2, it leaves my skin feeling really soft, smooth, and clean.
The Clarisonic Mia2 is a love/hate thing. I love how it works to cleanse my skin. I hate the automatic 20-20-10-10 second timer. I always feel rushed because of the timer.
I originally wanted to get the cleanser for brightening skin but am happy with this one for aging skin. It says to use this at night to remove makeup and cleanse skin. Truthfully, I use this morning and night because
1) it smells SO. DARNED. GOOD!
2) it leaves my skin looking and feeling younger, brighter, and luminous like porcelain.
3) I like to remove this cleanser with a hot face towel and my face towel smells like the spa!
4) no adverse reactions like dry skin or rashes or acne.
Not pictured here is my go-to Johnson's Head-to-Toe Baby Wash, which I always use whenever I feel like my other cleansers might have missed something.
That's it for this post on cleansers I use for my skincare. I will probably post a product review on the Jurlique cleanser later on.
Good luck to my ladies still in school! Have a safe, healthy, and wonderful holiday season!

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A local bondsman told Eyewitness News it was rapper Colderon Texada's mother who contacted All About Bails Bondsmen.
A few days ago, we told you Texada was accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in October of 2013. Aldine police say Texada picked up the Eisenhower High School student on her way to school, then took her to an apartment complex and raped her.
"(Texada's mother) said he was ready to turn himself in and that he would like for us to come pick him up," added the bondsman, who didn't want his identity revealed.
So the bondsman and another person left Houston last Thursday headed to California where Texada was hiding, after jumping bail for sexual assault charges involving a 16-year-old girl.
"He wouldn't give us a phone number or anything until we got closer," added the bondsman.
The bondsman finally arrived in L.A. Late Friday night. He picked up Texada, his young son and his girlfriend. A deal was made. Texada wanted to say goodbye to his dying grandmother.
"I told him that I would go take him to see his grandmother and I would do that part for him before I would take him in. That was kind of fuel for him to do the right thing," said the bondsman.
The bondsmen said on the long road trip, Texada was polite and very attentive to his son.
"Actually, he just seemed like a normal dude and we talked about his father and motorcycles," he said.
The bondsman says at one point Texada did talk about the sexual assault case.
"He said something to the effect that this is not or that's not how it went down," he explained.
The bondsman says it wasn't until they got to San Antonio when Texada started acting different.
"He told me he would like for me to let them know when we are getting ready to make our last stop before we get to his family because he wanted to go and change clothes. Then he and his girlfriend embrace in a hug almost as if that was her last time hugging him," said the bondsman.
This just didn't seem right. The bondsman says he came up with a plan. He pretended to have a bathroom emergency.
"I went into a truck stop and I asked the store manager to call the local authorities because I had a fugitive in the truck," he added.
Three minutes later, Kimble County sheriff's deputies arrived and arrested Texada.
"He went peacefully. I really think he was ready and he was tired of running," said the bondsman.

Associated parks:
The whole day was like this. I have never logged in as many rides in one day at CP as I did this day. Everything was running smoothly and even TTD was running well. This is my second trip in a row that TTD was basically problem free. Maybe the bugs are finally worked out.
WT was down most of the day if not all day. I did not see it running at all but it may have at some point in the day. I rode a lot of the flats, which I haven't done, in a long time.
The haunted houses were not bad, but they could have been a little scarier. I liked the old ride graveyard, I didn't notice it last year and think that it is new.
Later in the day, I lost my wallet on Magnum and the crew stayed about an hour and a half looking for it in the dark after the park closed and I really want to thank them for their efforts. They were unable to find it so a nice lady at park operations loaned me $20 so that I would be able to pay the tolls on way home. Not only is CP the best park in the world, they have the best employees in the world. They did find my wallet Monday and mailed it to me.
Thanks again everyone at CP. *** Edited 9/29/2004 12:26:12 PM UTC by CP ismyhome***
On the flip side CP....you gotta get those zipper pockets! :) I would never tell anyone to get a fanny pack.
I really only needed $6 to get me home, but all the lady had was a $20 and she gave it to me. I can't thank her enough.

Episode 11: The Unexplainable Power of Synchronicity
We've all had experiences we can't quite explain, instances and moments that somehow come to intertwine and create an outcome that changes our lives forever. Yet we don't always share them because they are so unexplainable. Today I'm sharing with you the somewhat magical story of how I met my husband, how a series of events and even grief brought me to a moment of unshakeable knowing, and how tapping into the synchronous moments in your own life can foster a new form of appreciation and expansion.

Presence of Bacteria in Spontaneous Achilles Tendon Ruptures./
Presence of Bacteria in Spontaneous Achilles Tendon Ruptures.
Here is one to ponder, especially since we just did our last podcast on the achilles rabbit hole.
This study seems to only show correlation.
Which leaves us all with open ended questions, such as, was there a preceeding infectious vector ? Such as in this article here, albeit rare, where the infection likely came from elsewhere, seeded if you will ? (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24529751)
There are still some mysteries around achilles ruptures, but these articles suggest a preceeding infection seeding that might disrupt the tendon matrix might set the stage in some. Maybe.

A player undertaking to hold the bank must play out one hand, but may retire at anytime afterwards. On retiring, he is bound to state the amount with which he retires. It is then open to any other player (in order of rotation) to continue the bank, starting with the same amount, and dealing from the remainder of the pack, used by his predecessor. The outgoing banker takes the place previously occupied by his successor. Certain rules changes are employed to create new variant games. These changes, while attracting the novice player, actually increase the house edge in these games. Double Exposure Blackjack is a variant in which the dealer's cards are both face-up. This game increases house edge by paying even-money on blackjacks and players losing ties. Double Attack Blackjack has very liberal blackjack rules and the option of increasing one's wager after seeing the dealer's up card. This game is dealt from a Spanish shoe, and blackjacks only pay even money. Basic strategy tables Red dog The World's Greatest Blackjack Book, Lance Humble and Carl Cooper, 1980 Common gaming machines The outcome of future events can be affected if external factors are allowed to change the probability of the events (e.g. changes in the rules of a game affecting a sports team's performance levels). Blackjack, also known as twenty-one and pontoon in British English, is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Much of blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill and decision making, and the publicity that surrounds the practice of card counting, a skill with which players can turn the odds of the game in their favor by making betting decisions based on the values of the cards known to remain in the deck. Blackjack's precursor was vingt-et-un ("twenty-one"), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21. Sic bo Random number games are based upon the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment. Random number games may be played at a table, such as Roulette, or through the purchase of paper tickets or cards, such as Keno or Bingo. For example, the official house advantage for a casino game might be 1%, and thus the expected value of return for the gambler is 99%. However, this math would only be true if the gambler never used the results of a winning bet again. Thus after gambling 100 dollars the idealized average gambler would be left with 99 dollars, but, if he continued to bet using his 99 dollars in winnings, he would again lose 1% on average and his expected value would go down to 98.01 dollars. This downward spiral continues until the gambler's expected value approaches zero: gambler's ruin. Jacks or Better Another perk to playing at Europa is the generous Comp Points Program. The more you wager, the more points you get, that you can then cash in at any time. Comps make a real difference to your bank roll whether you're a small player or a high roller, so Europa online casino scores top marks there. Europa is also owned by an established group with a great reputation, so rest assured that your winnings will be paid on time and in full.

In this case the banker is bound to offer a third card. If the point of the punter is baccarat (i.e. cards together amounting to ten or twenty, = 0), one, two, three, or four, he accepts as a matter of course, replying, "Yes," or "Card." A third card is then given to him, face upwards. If his point if already six or seven, he will, equally as a matter of course, REFUSE the offered card. To accept a card with six or seven, or refuse with baccarat, one, two, three, or four (known in either case as a "false draw"), is a breach of the established procedure of the game, and brings down upon the head of the offender the wrath of his fellow-punters; indeed, in some circles he is made liable for any loss they may incur thereby, and in others is punishable by a fine. At the point of five, and no other, is it optional to the punter whether to take a card or not; nobody has the right to advise him, or to remark upon his decision. Ken Uston on Blackjack, Ken Uston, 1986, ISBN 0818404116 The croupier, having shuffled the cards, hands them for the same purpose to the players to the right and left of him, the banker being entitled to shuffle them last, and to select the person by whom they shall be cut. Each punter having made his stake, the banker deals three cards, the first to the player on his right, the second to the player on his left, and the third to himself; then three more in like manner. The five punters on the right (and any bystanders staking with them) win or lose by the cards dealt to that side; the five others by the cards dealt to the left side. The rules as to turning up with eight or nine, offering and accepting cards, and so on, are the same as at Baccarat Chemin de Fer. Another interesting legend I turned up about the origins of the game said that the wheel's inventor actually sold his soul to Satan for it. That one's pretty tough to prove, but an interesting coincidence (or is it?) is that if you add up all the numbers on the Roulette wheel, the total is 666. I'm not sure if that makes me more prone to bet on red or black. If the dealer busts then all remaining players win. Bets are normally paid out at the odds of 1:1. Double down: Double the wager, take exactly one more card, and then stand. Pai Gow Poker Chinese poker Bodog Casino just launched their play-in-browser games, which are 100% Mac compatible.

Last weekend we enjoyed a gorgeous picnic in the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens. Mt Lofty is our highest "mountain" in our state and really the only place that receives more than a very rare sprinkling of snow sometimes in winter. So it's cooler up there than elsewhere around and more suited to the growth of European gardens. The Gardens include beautiful eucalypts but there is also a rose garden, conifer garden, camelia garden and other areas.
We set our picnic rug up in the conifers area. The ground was cool and despite the heat of the day the air was cool there too.
We unpacked our curried egg and lettuce sandwiches made with homemade bread. It didn't take long for the local Bandicoots to scurry into the scene. These little creatures are native animals but they like living there under the bushes. They move a bit like a rabbit...
This was a small family picnic. I've had many picnics there before. Picnics alone and also romantic champagne picnics. The sweet Bandicoots are always there to keep us company.

Are there any sites with pictures of typical Australian gardens? Would be good to visit.
Thanks for asking Deborah. Australia is a vaste country..continent. We have a huge variety of landscapes, climates and rainfall. Tropical where there are only two seasons..the wet and dry..and desert, snowy mountains, temperate forests, grasslands, mediterranean type climates..and more. Colonisers brought plants with them and a tradition of growing English and European plants developed. In recent decades there has been a massive shift away from that towards growing sustainable gardens using native plants that are adapted to the landscape.ReplyDelete
Native gardens attract and support native birds, animals, reptiles and insects and in general use a lot less water.
Water is a big factor in life here, including in growing gardens. Mostly we don't have enough of it! But occasionally in some places there is suddently too much but temporarily. Water awareness and conservation is a daily thing.
So, there is no typical garden! There are tropical gardens in the tropics, desert gardens in the deserts, and so on! Within that there are introduced plants and rose gardens etc..even Chinese and Japanese gardens.
Here's a link that might be interesting

Why outdoors?
Imaginative play. Calculated risk. Calm and focused attention.
These are just a few of the benefits of working outdoors and in nature. Bloom's outdoor setting is the perfect place for kids to improve their sensory processing, motor skills, social skills, self-regulation, and so much more. Best of all, current research supports the use of nature as a context and modality for therapy!
Dowdell, K., Gray, T., & Malone, K. (2011). Nature and its influence on children's outdoor play. Australian Journal of Outdoor Education, 15,2, 24-35.
The study found in that in the outdoor early childhood center, as compared to an indoor center with artificial equipment, children were more likely to engage in imaginative play, sustain attention to one activity for longer, engage in small group play, and engage with nature than at the other center.
Fjortoft, I. (2004). Landscape as playscape: The effects of natural environments on children's play and motor.Children, Youth and Environments, 18,2, 36-63.
When working in natural environments (involving a forest with rocks, shrubbery, trees, and open space) children ages 5-7 made significant improvements in gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and symbolic play.
Nedovic, S. & Morrissey, A.M. (2013). Calm active and focused: Children's responses to an organic outdoor learning environment. Learning Environments Research, 16, 281-295.
The participants helped to design a garden that they would want to play in. The modifications improved their play skills and self-regulation. Play in a garden can help kindergarteners self-regulate (specifically, be more calm), slow down and notice details in a way they had not before, and engage in more positive social interactions and imaginative play. The increased dramatic play was influenced by the introduction of natural loose parts such as sticks and pebbles.
The Swing
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
- Robert Louis Stevenson

The following Charlottesville Tomorrow article outlines some of the adjustments that Albemarle County is considering as growth in the development area in the Northern part of the County continues to rise:
North Pointe is happy to announce its purchase of 298 linear feet of streambank mitigation from Innisfree Village, a voluntary, non-profit community for adults with intellectual disabilities.
Through its streambank purchase, North Pointe is helping Innisfree to provide a lifesharing home and work environment for its community members and staff.
For more information on Innisfree, including volunteering information, go here: www.innisfreevillage.org
Faulconer Construction Company has been awarded the contract to begin work at North Pointe's "Middle Entrance." This entrance will be the primary access road to the community. Work began in July 2018 and will include all of the Route 29 improvements VDOT has proposed for this area and is anticipated to be complete no later than Summer 2019.
With over 80 years of site development and heavy construction experience, Faulconer Construction serves the central Virginia and the Southeast. With its headquarters located here in Charlottesville, Faulconer is the ideal company to complete this work.
Work to build the North Pointe sewer line commenced in 2017 and is expected to be complete by late 2018 or early 2019.
This gravity sewer line, located on Route 29 south, will serve not only North Pointe residents but other neighboring communities. This joint project with the Albemarle County Service Authority is part of its infastructure project and has a far-reaching benefit to the community.

Upcoming activities:
* Toys will be given for the holidays
*December 13th Legoland Autism Event
*February 15th Autism Trampoline Park Event
Kamp For Kids holds various different events throughout the year from weekend retreats to day trips. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that any family or child who wants to attend one of our events can, regardless of finances, transportation issues or any other reason.
We want to make it possible that every child and family get the opportunity to go to one of our camps, a place where they can get away, enjoy life, learn new things, try new things, and make many unforgettable memories. There are a plethora of activities and fun things to do.
It is a rarity for a child or family to get the chance to go on a weekend retreat free of charge, but the Kamp For Kids mission statement is that no child or family should be turned away for any reason. The directors of Kamp For Kids, Timothy and Penni Morton both went to camps and retreats as children. They know the transformative effects that just a couple days of camp can have on your life, and because they know how special this time was for them, they want to help make it possible for others.

Ritualistic Spirituality
We all need a little more solitude in our lives. We also need a little more community as well. The more I experience life as a Christian the more I truly believe that communal spirituality fuels our individual spirituality and individual spirituality fuels our communal spirituality. We need both. Just like how introverts need a little more extrovertism in their lives, and how most extroverts need to learn to calm down.
Preaching Through the Lens of the Enneagram
I'm a pastor in a small church north of Boston, MA. Our congregation is full of very different people… Diversity across age, race, IQs, education levels, income brackets… And yet, as worship leaders and pastors, we're tasked with sharing the Good News of God's redeeming love, each weekend, in a relevant, engaging way.
I Thought You Would Want to Know
I recently had the privilege of hanging out with about 20 dedicated volunteers who serve the worship ministry of their congregation, one that worships nearly 1,000 people each week. Their worship pastor had just moved on to a new church and, before launching a search for a new one, we thought it best to have a conversation with those most involved in the ministry
9 Songs to Lead This Easter
It's mid-March and Easter is right around the corner. If you're part of a larger church with good structure and organization, you've probably been talking about Easter since Christmas. If you're part of a smaller church (like me!) with less structure and organization, there's a chance it's barely crossed your mind yet.

If the events surrounding Dr. Christine Beasley Ford and Judge Kavanaugh's testimonies on Capitol Hill were triggering for you last week, you're not alone. With an FBI investigation underway, there's no doubt in our minds that we're going to be coping with this for another week or so. No matter where you stand on the political aisle, we just want to send a reminder that this community is a safe space for women to connect with each other through running and fitness to support, uplift, and encourage one another other - physically and mentally.Read More
When you think you know it all or have it all figured out, there is always a reality check to humble you or remind you that you don't.
This is what I experienced recently on my journey to living a healthier lifestyle. I visited my doctor for a normal check up (one that I haven't scheduled in 3 years by the way…) and later learned that I am pre-diabetic with extremely low Vitamin D levels.Read More
Ladies, it's time we had a talk. No, not about speed work, cross-training or your next workout. Let's take a second to talk about our mental health.
After a long day at work, many of us (myself included) spend a lot of our free time at the gym or on the track working on our physical health. Workout after workout, we see improvements and strides in our athletic abilities but when was the last time we took time to improve our mental health?Read More

I'm not an artist by training. By training I'm an evolutionary biologist, but by practice I am both of these things: a visual artist and a researcher. An investigator of both beetle reproduction and of mixed-media creative expression. People who know me as either an artist or biologist are often surprised to hear that I engage in the other pursuit, but in truth the two are complimentary. Designing an experiment or an exhibit both take creative thought. Communicating your ideas is a common challenge in sharing research findings and creating art. Art has played an important role in my recent life, but as I near the end of my second gallery show I wonder what place it has in my future.
My recent turn to art came from a necessity of communicating the difficult and often unseen emotions that accompany depression – an affliction far too many suffer from in grad school and in academia more broadly. Making art began as a way to help me process and cope with my struggles and eventually became a crucial tool in my healing. Dangerous and illogical feelings can resist being put down into words and I've found they sometimes require an additional, visual dimension to fully express. Art helps combat the depression associated feelings of being unheard and unseen.
Over the past two years I've put on two solo art shows to communicate my experience with depression and to showcase my work. My first show, On Waking: An Installation Playfully Exploring Depression, took place in May of 2014. Because I had taken a leave of absence from research that Spring, the installation was a gentle way to invite friends and colleagues into my experiences and begin the processes of reacquaintance. My second show, The Strength in Our Scars, closes today. The latter plays with greater abstraction of ideas, particularly the dangerous seduction of self-harm impulses. Both shows have been important to my healing process, as well as being creatively fulfilling, but I'm not sure when or if I will be putting together another exhibition.
The monetary and time costs of putting on a solo show make me question what role art will continue to play in my life. I financially supported both of my shows with kickstarter campaigns and was humbled to have both campaigns fully funded. Money is not the only cost involved in making art, however. The time required to fully explore possibilities for pieces, create enough pieces, and to install a show seem prohibitive to be done on a regular basis if being an artist is not your full time job.
Social media and my nascent artist's network helped me discover alternate opportunities to produce and display work if annual gallery shows are not possible. My work tends to focus on mental health issues and I have found two relevant local organizations that put on annual juried shows. I also discovered a tumblr call for submissions for a feminist fiber arts show in Boston; fiber is a medium I have worked in for both of my shows. Although these opportunities will not allow me to tell a complete, free standing story of my choosing, they do allow me to be a part of the larger narrative of each show. In participating in open-call group shows I hope to find a consistent place to display art in my life.

Last Tuesday, I didn't go to work. I went to another country. Most people get in trouble for this, but I was almost forced to do it – by my school.
As usual, I found out in an unusual way. One of my students raised his hand the week before and asked if I was going on the "teacher's trip". I'm used to handling questions that I don't have the slightest clue about, so I bought time by making them go into more detail. It became apparent that they were excited because they wouldn't have school the next Tuesday (my next lesson with them) because the teachers were leaving.
I'm a teacher. That significantly increases the likelihood that I'm one of the people who should be leaving. I'm glad the kids mentioned it. On the other hand, I do have to verify these things. I wouldn't put it past a creative kid to tell me that school is cancelled so he (or she) can cut class. That's one of the advantages of having a teacher who doesn't speak the language of the country.
When I got back to the teachers room, I was asked if I had signed up yet. Things were moving pretty quickly because I was supposed to have already told them whether I was going or not. With no time to think, I put my name on the list. Right afterwards, I strained myself trying to remember if I had any other plans. Hopefully I didn't – to this day I haven't realized if I forgot to do something else.
The weekend before the trip (last weekend), I told my friends that I was going on a trip with the school. They asked me where, and I realized I forgot to find out. All I knew was "Slovakia". That really narrowed it down. It's just a country, how many places can possibly be there?
Fast forward to Tuesday. Bright and early, I got on a bus. I sat with the other American teacher from my school, and she knew about as much as I did. We ended up isolated from the other English teachers during the ride, so I didn't find out anything new until the bus stopped for a break.
Eventually, I was filled in on the secret. We were going to visit some medieval mining villages.
In case you don't know, Slovakia was part of Hungary until the locally detested Treaty of Trianon in 1920. Since I was traveling with a group of Hungarians, we were visiting a town that is part of Slovakia right now, but is rightfully Hungarian. This is important to note because the Hungarians and Slovakians aren't really on the best of terms.
It ended up being a great trip for anyone who likes riding on buses. We were scheduled to leave at 8:00 in the morning and were only a few minutes late. This meant I got up at the same time that I would've if I'd gone to work. So much for a day off.
We arrived home at about 9:00 at night. By my estimation, we spent about 9 of the 13 hours on the bus. That's pretty awesome.
We did, however, see some nice things. We started by going to a museum that was closed for lunch, and a castle that wasn't open yet. This gave time for a beer, so I was happy. When the castle opened, we went in and walked around for a few minutes. The HIGH-light was when we climbed a tower with roughly 125 steps. It was terrifying and dizzying. There was a rope to hold onto, but it was so tight against the stone wall that I couldn't grasp it without rubbing the skin off my hand. It was the stereotypical spiral staircase in a castle, and my legs were burning by the top. But, I didn't have a heart attack from the steps or my fear, and I took some nice pictures. I suppose that makes it a success.
Next we visited the museum. They said they tried to go to it last year, but it never did open. I was beginning to wonder if next year's trip would by attempt number 3, but we managed to get in. It told us a lot about the local mining history, and had some pretty cool exhibits (including a small mine in the basement, and a bunch of money - old and new - that was made from its materials). Ironically, I understood more than many of the other teachers. The descriptions were in Slovakian, English, and occasionally Hungarian. Since only a few spoke Slovakian, and not all of the teachers spoke English, I had an unexpected advantage over many of the Hungarian teachers.
There was a stop in another town on the way home. This one contained a few pretty churches that used to be segregated for different nationalities. Today, the main attraction seems to be cold weather and communist buildings surrounding a pretty old square.
I never really did find out the names of the towns. People told me, but I forgot. My little brochure from the museum in the first place seems to claim that it's called "Kremnica". It's up to you to decide if you believe that or not.
After a few more hours on the bus, we got home. It was late, school would start early, and I hadn't planned anything. The next day saw well-rested students interacting with an exhausted, ill-prepared version of myself.
That's my story of how I went to another country on a Tuesday.
Hungarian word of the day:
If you can't figure out what this means, well, I don't think I can help you. It's pronounced nearly the same as in English, except the "á" is more of an "aaahhh" sound.

A few weeks ago as a family we had the chance to visit an old church outside Bandera Texas. I've been able to visit several old churches with a lot of history and always feel a great sense of gratitude and appreciation. Knowing how much an individual sacrificed to establish a church and bring the gospel to that local community is something admirable. Everyone's story is different but you can bet where there was an intention to establish a church there was opposition to overcome.Read More
We all have a unique perspective on life. It's the great thing about being an individual. We have our own set of lenses that allow us to see the world differently than others may. And that perspective causes us to react differently in different situations. Some people love the details in situations and others would rather look at the world in a more wide open view and take in the full picture and not worry about the details.Read More
Over the weekend we took a family adventure to the cowboy capital of America. The city of Bandera, Texas. It was a very cool city to experience and I can't wait to go back. It literally is declared the Cowboy Capital of America so the history in this little town of under fifteen hundred people is pretty remarkable. We were able to see an old western shootout and walkthrough main drag of town, left to imagine what it would have been like back in the day.Read More

Play Live Baccarat Online
Live Baccarat is one of the most popular card games in the world, typically due to having one of the smallest house edges. A favourite in Asian casinos, the classic game of player vs the banker can now be enjoyed on your smartphone, tablet or PC device in an authentic live environment.
Why Play Live Baccarat Online
Evolution Gaming's supreme Baccarat rooms will immerse you in the action like never before. Streamed live from a suitably themed studio and played on bean shaped tables, this is one of the most authentic Baccarat experiences out there.
The set is so good in fact, you will almost feel like you have stepped into a real Macau casino. The expert live dealers (who are also themed accordingly) will see to your every entertainment need and provide an opportunity for conversation.
To enhance your gameplay even further, you can take advantage of detailed playing statistics and the ability to see the competitions moves. If you love your live Baccarat games, then you are sure to have your breath taken away by our offering.
Baccarat Rules
Live Baccarat online is often known as the king of card games. Elegant, easy to learn and ultimately fun - it's no wonder it has become such a hit at Mayfaircasino.com. Card games will often have some element of strategy or probability involved - but online Baccarat is all about lady luck.
The purpose of the game is simple; to correctly guess who will have the stronger hand. You can bet on your own hand, the banker's hand or on a tie outcome. Betting on your own Baccarat hand will pay out 2 to 1 - the same goes for betting on the bankers hand, minus a 5% commission charge. Betting and winning on a tie bet pays out a sizeable 8 to 1.
So how do you determine the strongest winning hand? In Baccarat, the objective is to get as close to nine as possible, which is a similar concept to the game of Blackjack. Each card has a value, with 2-9 retaining their face values and the ace being valued at one. Kings, Queens, Jacks and tens however are valued at zero.
In a live casino Baccarat game, any hand over the value of ten will in turn have ten subtracted. Let's say that you draw a 9 + 8; this will equal to 17. In which case, you will have a final hand of 7 once ten has been subtracted. A third card can also be drawn under special circumstances.
Like most classic casino games, this card game is best experienced with a live dealer - and Mayfair Casino London offers a luxurious selection of the most popular Baccarat games. Our live dealers are sure to show you a good time as you experience the king of card games for yourself; you will feel like royalty in next to no time.
In addition to traditional game rules, you can further augment your entertainment by placing side bets - you could bet on perfect pairs for example or a player pair.
Who should Play Live Baccarat Online
If you enjoy casino card games, then the low house edge of Baccarat is sure to appeal to you. With its simple learning curve, this is also one of the ideal live dealer games for new casino players looking to try out different options.

Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks
Tibetan herbal foot soaks contain eight unique pharmaceutical grade herbs that have been time tested for their benefits. The allotted temperature and herbs given in this soak will accelerate the heart, causing it to pump blood more efficiently and open the micro-circulation of the feet, allowing the medicine to be absorbed more efficiently. This process allows the chemical components to bypass the digestive system, therefore increasing their effectiveness. This herbal formula has been researched thoroughly for its chemical constituents and has been clinically effective for many conditions. We use herbs sourced from an area of Tibet called the Aryans.
The process
Preparation of the medicinal infusion. Water that has reached boiling point is combined with one or two medicinal sachets and simmered together.
Infusion is reduced to proper soaking temperature. The boiling mixture is combined with room temperature water to bring it to soaking temperature. The ideal soak temperature is between 110-113 degrees. Many people find this temperature uncomfortably hot when they first start soaking, however, you may choose to work up to this temperature gradually.
Soaking. The soak temperature will be maintained in the therapeutic range of 105-112 degrees for the full duration of the soak (30-45 minutes.)
Herbal Functions & Benefits
Reduced inflammation
Antibacterial, Anti-fungal, Anti-parasitic, & Anti-viral properties
