Good buying decisions increase your chances of good long term emotional, physical and financial outcomes for you and your family.
All buyers have emotion and inherent biases on home decision making and many rely purely on intuition. While intuition can produce some stellar results; test after test shows it is inferior to expert value analysis.
Our role is to provide the home buying client with a proven process and the tools to make good decisions.
We begin with Stage One: Clarity.
Last year we rated 2000 homes, covered 1200 auctions but only bought 80 homes. We're picky! And you should be too.
When buying a home people want to achieve good financial and good emotional outcomes.
Buyers have to make many decisions - some have good results and some may have bad.
To maximise the good and minimise the bad, we at James Buyer Advocates take you through a process called James Home Ratings.
Clarity is the start of the Ratings process.
We can show you how clarity saves time, stress and ultimately money by encouraging you to focus on the important points about the home and only on the homes that really count.
If the home passes your 'sleep test' then it's onto the next, more detailed stages of our process:

|Happy Wife Happy Life
|Too far from Future needs
(eg secondary schools)
|Too Big A Strain
|A Fresh Start
|Expansion for Future Needs
(eg unknown addition)
|Too Restrictive on Other Choices
|A False Start
|Too Close Internally
(parents to kids - growth?)
|1. Will 142 Kerferd Road fall within my budget?
|2. Did it pass my first impressions test?
|3. Do others like the feel of Kerferd - did it pass their sleep test?
|*Three of the questions we ask to establish your needs.
|Clarity Decision: Is 142 Kerferd Road the best home for you?
This neat red-brick Edwardian property offers flexible accommodation with three good bedrooms,including a master bedroom with large ensuite and built in wardrobe. Internally there is nothing to spend, as the property is in very good condition having been recently renovated. What won't be to everyone's liking is the large block of flats situated on the property's east boundary which has carparking access via the rear lane. The rear courtyard is also a little small and may be an issue for some. Located on Kerferd Road, the property is situated in one of the area's most recognisable streets, which does mean it carries significant through traffic. However, the property's proximity to the beach and the plethora of local shops and cafes may be more than enough compensation for that.
|Assess Decision: Is this property a good home?
In working out value sometimes an agent quote can be helpful and sometimes it can be misleading. We understand the quote to be $1,900,000. Is Adrian Wood a helpful quoter (reserve within the range) or an unhelpful quoter (step or underquoter). The agent quote often changes during the campaign and there is no legal requirement for it to represent fair market value. The agent is legally required to work for the seller first not you the buyer.
There are a number of ways to calculate a market price. We use versions of two established methods – comparable and summation – forming a double check in the pricing process. We prefer a range rather than a single figure when establishing market price.
What is your opinion, the highest other bidders opinion and the seller's opinion of the land component, the building component and the range of possible emotional components when looking to establish a foundation price?
In Pricing and Valuing there are no absolutes, just opinions. Those opinions are wide and varied; biased or independent, good and bad..
However there are only three opinions that count
Of those three, YOURS is the most important - as long as it's informed.
To Price and Value homes - we use the James Control Value and Price Tool.
We follow a system like double entry accounting.
We then compare all land + building + emotion prices against similar or comparable homes that have been bought recently - we call this our double entry TOTEM check.
That's our double entry. We support that figure with additional data from our extensive and unique auction and private sales database built up over many years.
Once you have the Three James Control Price and Values you can move onto the final step - Negotiation.
If at any stage you would like more information about how a James Buyer Advocate can help or you want to meet me or another of our buyer advocates for coffee, then please contact us on 9804 3133.
|Value Too Low
|Value Well
|Value Too High
|Never buy a home
|Increased chance of buying the home
|Harder to make Bank Loan stack up
|Miss the home to another buyer
|Increased Chance of Good Growth
|Pay too much - Bigger Mortgage
|Only end up buying what nobody else wants
|Lower Chance of Overcapitalisation
|Poor Capital Growth
|Value Decision: Do you have a clear idea of value for 142 Kerferd Road?
A number of clients engage us to negotiate only.
What should your offer be? And what response will Marshall White give you to that offer? Framing of offers and counter offers are so important.
Is Adrian Wood the key agent to be dealing with in trying to buy 142 Kerferd Road?
Do you have a plan? Is it a predictable one? Do you have an established history with Marshall White? In other words do they know more about you than you do about them? What are Marshall White's processes, habits and quirks when it comes to negotiation? Are those processes fair, can they be negotiated?
Contracts, inspections and terms - have you completed due diligence - can Adrian in fact sell 142 Kerferd Road to you today if you did start a negotiation. Yes or No! If no why start?
Many of our negotiations are win-win eg a fairly priced off market. At the other end of the scale auctions and highly priced homes are obviously designed to be adversarial - look at the bidder numbers on 382 Montague Street or 37 Mills Street.
However the current auction hammer rate is 37% which means 63% are not actually selling during that 15 minute incredibly intense process. How will you handle a pass-in such as
74 Barrett Street or 28 St Vincent Street?
It's been on the market in its current campaign since May 8 2013. It has a history - what is it? Is now actually a good time to start negotiating?
Negotiation decisions are critical to outcomes and they involve risk versus reward concepts.
Your intuition in negotiating homes is like intuition in anything else - it can work.
However your intuition plus a complete understanding of the process works better and finally your intuition plus an understood process supported by experienced professionals works best as your decisions are informed ones.
Welcome to the final part of the James Home Rating Process.
As the markets mature and the way properties are offered for sale becomes more complicated, it's becoming harder for buyers to negotiate well.
You negotiate to maximise your position financially and emotionally.
To negotiate well, we start with a James Negotiation Plan.
At the top of the plan we ask: What is it you are trying to buy - a price or a property?
On one extreme is the occasional buyer who is focused purely on price. At the other end is the buyer who wants the home whatever the price.
Most buyers fall somewhere in between on the price vs property spectrum.
Negotiation strategy is about risk vs reward: what risks are you prepared to take for which rewards? This will determine your planned strategy.
On the other side of the negotiation fence are highly skilled selling agents using sophisticated selling processes. Many agents employ two key techniques to maximise their clients' (the seller) position.
These are:
These techniques are used in both auctions and private sales.
A common variation of the above techniques is Step Quoting, where the asking price rises each time you have contact with the agent. It may start, for instance, at $2m when you speak on the phone, go up to $2.2m when you ask at the door, rise to $2.4m before the auction and then when the property is passed in you discover the reserve is $2.8m.
How do you deal with that? For more information read our article on Step Quoting.
Auctions are all about pressure. They're about gathering all the combatants into a ring and letting them fight it out. How do you know who your opponents are?
Sure, anybody can bid at auction - but even in good markets it's still less than 1 in 3 that are bought under the hammer and then the most common Bidder number is - yep - One, You. You are bidding all by yourself.
Do you understand how clouded many deals are with smoke and mirrors? While you are looking at your reflection is someone else doing to you what you needed to do to them? We won't let that happen.
Private sale is all about process. It's not a simple, consistent, easy to understand stated process either, but a protracted complicated process that's designed to maximise the price.
Not sure what we are talking about - its another one of the unknown knowns.
But surely anyone can negotiate!
Perhaps! But can you do it well?
You're simply more effective if you have professional representation protecting your position.
We use sophisticated technology, combined with years of experience and solid agent relationships to read the play, plan our next strategies and understand your true position.
All this is within the James Negotiation.
And remember, sometimes negotiating is not all about the money.
Sometimes the best strategy is Happy Spouse Happy House.

A classic book turned into a classic movie. Orson Wells and Joan Fontaine are brilliant in the movie. The story is full of surprises and mystery. I would put this movie into the Top 100 Movies Ever Made.
This movie was originally going to receive a 3/5 Stars, but was downed to a 2/5 Stars for the most inaccuracy I have seen in a book adaptation. I wanted to watch this one, because I saw the other 3 (or 2 at the time), and might as well seen them all. The second reason why,was because Orson Welles was starring in it and I loved his work in Citizen Kane. (Rosebud) :p Still, I did enjoy him as Mr. Rochester, but again the inaccuracy struck this movie to the grade where it now stands. Jane Eyre is easily 2 hours long(When prominent details are placed)-not 1 hour and 30 minutes.
A looming, gothic adaptation from future Disney masterpiece director Robert Stevenson. Gorgeously photographed with a foreboding score from composer Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, North By Northwest, Psycho, etc.). Orson Welles was the quintessential showman -- he dominates as the dark Rochester. Joan Fontaine was delightful as the obstinate, tormented, delicate heroine. An eleven year old Elizabeth Taylor, and Peggy Ann Garner (of one of my all time favorite films, Elia Kazan's "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn") complement this wonderful classic. Beautiful film. FIVE STARS.
Somehow I have never seen this film. It reminded me of Rebecca. Both starred brooding men with troubled but hidden pasts, living in large gothic mansions. Lots of dark shadows and lots of mystery. Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine are excellent in the lead roles.
Orson Welles is the best Mr. Rochester on Film. This is not Disney, but is the work of Robert Stevenson so have included on "classic Disney @ EPL" list.

I'm still here
Apologies for the very dormant blog action but it is not without good cause.
This year being my honours year in Mechanical Engineering has been tough to say the least. I haven't had time to work on the Lotus at all…
With that said however I managed to get the Lotus as the topic for my two thesis projects.
I have attached some pics for you guys to see what I am doing in terms of chassis design with ANSYS. I will be back posting soon!
More to come
Cheers for now
Exhaust Continued
So some of the exhaust was shown in previous posts but lots of hours have been spent in the following.
Ill just post the pics as it was quite a bit of fiddling and re fitting but as it stands there are 4 pipes into 2 pipes with more to come when I eventually get the other parts and laser cutting back.
more to come…
Rear Fenders
With a lot of sanding and fiber glassing the rear fenders finally got mounted up and she is looking more like a Seven
First up was to make the actual mold in which the lights will sit. This was done with a piece of old supawood and some spare aluminium. I didn't not have any PVA release agent so I used good old floor wax. Did a couple of coating buffing in between and it worked like a charm.
and out of the mold
Net came some prep work on the fender themselves which resulted in me being covered in blue paint…
Here the holes being cut out
and some lights
but continuing on…. I clamped the fender to the table and fiber glassed the two light holders on.
Then eager to see what they look like….
Finally the wheel went back on and this is how she stands…
And the back panel went in…
The fenders will get a good sand down and then some body filler and another sanding etc before getting a burnt orange color paint coating.
Tunnel / Interior / Seat Belts
Haven't posted in a while as it has been a mission due to holiday but here is some progress…
The center tunnel finally got its top cover sorted. Just need to add a aluminium plate below where your hand goes. This will be wrapped in Carbon fiber when the sides of the car get done.
Here is the initial cardboard template,
I then had to reinforce the back piece because I realized that that is the most likely place for a passenger to put their hand when trying to get out of the car.
I then fiber glassed into that area and sanded it smooth so that when it is wrapped you wont know the difference.
I then carried on with the interior panels and carpeting of which some of it is below. The panel above the gearbox had to be modified due to the new gear lever design.
making sure it fits…
and then final assembly
After that I mounted the seat belts and the seats, (apologies for the bad picture)
Next up are the rear fenders
Steering Wheel
Right so to more aesthetically pleasing items…
Your general car steering wheel is pretty large in comparison to what is able to fit into the Seven. Basically I needed the wheel to be small enough to fit under the body line and not touch my knees when driving but I also needed it large enough to see my gauges whilst driving.
After much drawing up on CAD, printing, fitting and repeating of this process I settled on my dimensions and design. The other limiting factor to what I could do was price. The steering wheels that are in the ball park size wise are racing steering wheels which are pretty darn expensive. I made this for 1/4 what one would pay for a commercial wheel.
First up, you've seen the laser cut aluminium in a previous post. The next was to get some marine plywood and cut the relevant rings. Here is the beginning of the wood…I cut he board into sections to be cut again on the bandsaw.
The next was to cut the inner discs out with a coping saw to get the rings that I needed. Here was the initial layup. The wheel had to be offset with 3 layers in the front and 2 at the back due to the indicator lever standing proud.
The two ali pieces were joined with bolts. With a lot of epoxy glue and clamping of each layer individually, I had the rough initial wheel.
Here is the clamping…
and rough shape
I wanted to have a flat spot on the back and front so marked these with a scoring tool…
then got stuck in with a hand file and various grit sand paper…
Next came the varnish. First 4 coats had a 10/90 varnish to turps mix after that I built it up. There are about 12 coats of varnish on it with the last two 100% varnish.
Just need to polish the inner ali, but here it is…
Gear Lever Extension
Right so one of the big problems many Seven builders have is that the gear lever lands up being situated under the dash…
There are many ways of solving this issue and this was the way I went about it. (My second design). The biggest issue here is the twisting the mechanism undergoes when you shift left and right. Also take note this wouldn't work on a gearbox that has a vertical motion to engage reverse.
First up I cut down, heated and re shaped the old Cressida gear lever. (done in a previous post a while back). I then turned up another shaft and threaded the two ends for an M10 and M6 nut. The design I came up with was laser cut and then welded up. I then turned up two brass spacers to stop the joining members from twisting. Finally I sent it for yellow passivization just to make it stand out.
Here are all the bits….
Here is the initial assembly with the brass bolts and dome nuts.
I then TIG welded up the triangular plates onto the existing gear lever and onto the new shaft.
Now as one does I made a silly error as you will see in the next two photos. In my haste to weld everything up I forgot the crucial parts that keep the gear lever in the gearbox…
and now with the parts after cutting and re-welding…
Then finally after a few delays with the passivating here it is in the car…
No just for a suitable gear knob which I will make soon.
Clutch pedal
I have been mulling over the clutch pedal to master cylinder connection for a while now.
I found some left over steel bar which I bored out to 8mm. This allows for the rod of the master cylinder to pass right through. I then bored one end to 14mm so that I could press fit a lock nut into it. This lock nut is what the cylinder screws into. Last of all I drilled a 6mm diameter hole to accept the bolt from the pedal….
Here it is connected
Not the neatest but works very well.
Next is the clutch stop and the brake pedal connection..
Last of engine covers
In replacing the water pump I managed to remove that lower engine cover…
I also removed about a kilogram of weight with the old front engine mount…
Here are all the front covers sprayed and fitted…

A few months ago 51 year old Bernard Anthony got the health scare of his life.
Bernard says, "It was very scary. I don't know a better way to say it than that."
On June 1st, 2013 Bernard had a type of stroke that very few people survive.
Therapist Nikki Stephens says, "Mr. Anthony had a hemorrhagic stroke. Which is one of the most deadly strokes and it affects 13 percent of most stroke cases."
With all his major improvements...you would not be able to tell that he had a serious stroke less than 90 days ago.
But like many stroke victims, Bernard could barely move afterward.
Doctors say he lost complete feeling on his left side, and had trouble walking, speaking or understanding others.
It's a feeling he says he will never again take for granted.
Bernard says, "Small things that you take for granted that you do all the time every day. And when those things are kind of snatched away from you, you are like oh my god, you know. I had no idea how important this was and now I have to learn how to do it all over again."
But after aggressive therapy treatments at Eastview Nursing Center, he is walking again, and talking just fine. Experts say that rehab plays a crucial role in the recovery process.
Nikki says, "Very important. It's very important to have an aggressive team of therapist."
An aggressive team that Bernard is extremely thankful for.
Bernard says, "They literally walk you through everything. This is how you do this, step by step how it is done. They did all of that, so I got high praise for them for them, I really do."

In the news this morning: Arizona birthright bills rejected, Muslim woman kicked off flight, report on immigrant detention system, more
Arizona Senate Rejects 5 Bills On Immigration - New York Times The state senate has voted down the illegal immigration crackdown bills, among them two measures intended to force the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider automatic citizenship for American-born children of undocumented immigrants.

Three great St. Patrick's Day tweets
Photo by st_gleam/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Whether you're wearing green today or not, you've likely been on Twitter, where people are posting St. Patrick's Day greetings, random thoughts, history tidbits, and far too many updates - which will only worsen through the night - on what they are eating or drinking.
And some funny little quips, too.
Here are two from L.A.:
Celebrate the Irish, Europe's Chicanos...
- from @ laloalcaraz
Today is like gringo Cinco de Mayo.
- from @ El_Danny_Trejo (who is "Not Danny Trejo")
And one from Chicago:
Yep. Stopped at the Mexican restaurant in my German neighborhood for St. Patrick's Day dinner.
- from @mrlwe
If the last guy had a green margarita instead of that nasty green beer, hats off to him.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Multilingual Nikkei site posts quake related updates, much more

A Japanese Buddhist temple in São Paolo, Brazil, December 2008
The term nikkei doesn't just refer to the Tokyo stock market index, but to Japanese immigrants and their descendants, the Japanese diaspora that has fanned out around the world as the result of migration. And there is a website in English, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese - yes, Spanish and Portuguese - that has been keeping that diaspora abreast of post-earthquake developments in Japan, along with nikkei stories from around the world.
Discover Nikkei is a project of Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, intended to connect people of Japanese descent around the globe. In addition to its features, among them a piece on Japanese Cubans and photos of a Brazilian community in Japan, the site has been posting a regular stream of Twitter updates and retweets (in English) on its front page with news related to the quake aftermath and the response abroad, including relief efforts by Japanese American groups spanning the United States from California to Minnesota.
St. Patrick's Day L.A.-style: Taco specials in Bell, Irish whiskey in Koreatown

Yes, it's the Irish Nachos, that pinnacle of culinary fusion. A Guinness helps.
It's St. Patrick's Day, the religious feast day turned celebration of Irish culture that in the United States is, well, marketed to and celebrated by everybody. And in the Los Angeles area, it's celebrated in parts of town where Irish tradition isn't the first thing that comes to mind.
In Bell, the taqueria Tacos El Unico has posted green shamrock-studded coupons on its Facebook page for a "St. Patrick's Day Exclusive" special of street tacos and mini cheeseburgers.
In Boyle Heights (named for Irish immigrant and settler Andrew Boyle) the Chicano hipster bar Eastside Luv Wine Bar y QUEso is celebrating what it's calling "St. Pochi's Day," a St. Patrick's Day party and a celebration of Eastside-bred pochismo rolled into one. "St. Pochi's is kind of tipping our hat to the Irish, and not so much being satirical but more of being a show of respect," explained bartender Ed Castellon.
In the news this morning: Landmark bills signed in Utah, Irish Americans' labor legacy, Japanese earthquake relief and memorial, more
Utah Governor Signs Landmark Immigration Bills - Fox News Latino One bill requires police to check the immigration status of people stopped on suspicion of a felony or serious misdemeanor. Another creates a guest worker program for unauthorized immigrants in the state. The others allow businesses to recruit Mexican workers and let U.S. citizens sponsor foreign residents wanting to work or study in Utah.
CEOs urge Arizona to forgo immigration measures - BusinessWeek Dozens of large Arizona employers are urging state lawmakers to not pass additional legislation targeting illegal immigration, saying it would damage the state's economy and tourism industry.
For Irish-Americans, labor threats carry poignancy - BusinessWeek From Patrick J. Lynch, head of the union that represents New York police: "...the faces may have changed. The countries they're coming from may have changed. But the ladder is the same."

The Detroit Tigers are one of the favorites to win the World Series, and currently sit atop the AL Central. That's a little misleading though. The AL Central has proven to be the worst division in baseball so far. They're the only division without a team with double digit wins, and the Tigers are only +1 in run differential. Far from the numbers expected of a champion. But it's early, and the Tigers have a chance to build on their division lead with the Chicago White Sox next on the Detroit Tigers schedule.
Chicago started out better than expected with a 9-10 record, and an offense that's leading the majors in runs scored. But they've come back to earth a little, losing four of their last five, and averaging two runs a game over the losses. Ticket prices certainly paint the picture of a dull matchup. Tigers tickets are 78 percent lower than the season average at Comerica Park. The get-in price is just $3 for all four games.
4/21/14 7:08PM (EST) CHW John Danks vs DET Anibal Sanchez | Avg. Price: $23 | Get-in Price: $3
A former 15-game winner, John Danks has struggled to be an effective starter for the White Sox the last several years. He's been solid so far this year, though. The White Sox have been within a run of the lead whenever Danks has been on the mound this season. Anibal Sanchez had an incredible season for the Tigers last year. He was an integral part of the World Series projections to start the season, but hasn't exactly lived up to those projections. While his numbers are solid, he's struggled to make it past the fifth inning.
4/22/14 7:08PM (EST) CHW Chris Sale vs. DET Justin Verlander | Avg. Price: $23 | Get-in Price: $3
Even a strong pitching matchup won't get the price to change much for this series. Chris Sale has been great for the White Sox throughout his career, and has improved in each of his first four seasons. This season his numbers have improved again, and hitters are only batting .168 against him. Part of that is due to an unsustainably low BABIP of .227, but his numbers are improved across the board. Even if he just replicates his numbers from last season, he'll be one of the better pitchers in baseball. Opposing him is a guy who has arguably been the best pitcher in baseball. Justin Verlander had an uncharacteristically bad year last year, his worst since 2008. The numbers? A still stellar 3.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 4.6 WAR. Verlander is one of the few pitchers in MLB history to win an MVP award, and has been incredible to start the season.
4/23/14 7:08PM (EST) CHW Andre Rienzo vs. DET Drew Smyly | Avg. Price: $29 | Get-in Price: $3
Andre Rienzo is only in his second season in the league. He's the likely starter Wednesday to fill in for Felipe Paulino. Rienzo was solid in 10 starts last season, but has only pitched one inning so far this year in relief. He loaded the bases before inducing a popup to end the inning. Drew Smyly has been quite a find for Detroit. He was surprisingly effective his rookie year in 2012, until he was supplanted in the rotation by Anibal Sanchez. Last season he was a reliever for the Tigers, and improved his numbers across the board. This season he's back in the rotation. He started the season as a long reliever to get stretched out. While he pitched well in relief, he was chased after just three innings in his first start.
4/24/14 1:08PM (EST) CHW Jose Quintana vs. DET Max Scherzer | Avg. Price: $32 | Get-in Price: $3
Thursday will be the most expensive game of the series, which is still 75 percent below the season average for Tigers tickets. On the mound the White Sox will feature another young pitcher. Jose Quintana is in his third season as a starter, and pitched 200 innings with a WAR of 5.4 last year. He got mashed by the Texas Rangers in his last start, but has otherwise had quality outings each time up. For the Tigers they send out the reigning Cy Young award winner, Max Scherzer. Scherzer has picked up right where he left off last year sporting a 2.33 ERA and a sub-1 WHIP.

So comfortable!

Comments about Womens R-Gear Inspiration 7" Lined Shorts:
I love my RRS running skorts and capris but wanted shorts that were as comfortable. After trying several pairs at shorter lengths (4" and 5") that rode up and were generally uncomfortable for my training runs, I was about to give up on shorts until I discovered these. They are awesome! Very comfortable - the fabric stays in place and I have no issues with chafing, the fabric getting wacky or any other discomfort. They're longer than most running shorts but still hit well above the knee. The fabric is lightweight but sturdy and the cut of the shorts is very flattering. I have already ordered a second pair.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Athlete
Comments about Womens R-Gear Leg Up 19" Legging Capri Pants:
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE TIGHTS! I've probably work every brand out there, and not sure why I decided to try these but I am glad I did! I ordered a small (I am 5'6", 140-145lbs) and was disappointed at first, as I half ripped a seam putting them on. But there is no structural damage to the capris, so I wore them on a run, and to cycling, and to hot yoga, and they haven't failed me since! They have a nice low-profile pocket on them for storing a key or a card, and have a flattering seam up the side/back of the capris. They are as comfortable as my Athleta Chatarunga tights, but they hold up WAY better while running and cycling (NO PILL-ing!) They dry quickly too, which is a plus for hot yoga! I've already deemed these my "marathon tights" for a fall marathon next month! I wish they made these in more fun colors and I'd buy them more often!

It's not quite warm enough to wear this outside to run in, but it's perfect for heated power yoga. It's lightweight, non-restrictive and the length is just a little longer than a typical tank which is perfect for yoga. It does NOT ride up!! I just ordered the other color!

The Sight of Biodiversity
The protected areas of the Italian peninsula surround a natural heritage like no other; wealth that should be protected and promoted.
Alitalia, which is sensitive to environmental issues as part of its corporate social responsibility, supports the Italian Ministry of the Environment's "Experience Natural Areas" and "Discover Biodiversity" projects. Between the Alps and the Pelagie islands, including lakes and rivers, woods, pine forests, Mediterranean vegetation and the waters of the four seas that surround the Italian peninsula, there are over 57,000 species of animals, more than a third of Europe's fauna and nine thousand species of plants, around half of those on the entire continent.
All of this extraordinary wealth is what we call "biodiversity," a term that indicates not just the variety of living beings that inhabit a territory and the relationships that they establish between each other, but also all the natural resources and, in a broader sense, the very secret of evolution. Taking care of this heritage, which is subject to increasingly strong pressures, is critical, not only to meet Italian and EU standards, but especially because human society depends heavily on it and on the services that it draws from it in terms of resources and quality of life.
A key tool for the strategy of conserving biodiversity and for action against its loss, as well as for promoting tourism that is more aware, seasonally adjusted and diversified—able to combine the human impact with safeguarding our natural heritage—is the 871 protected natural areas, including national and regional parks, nature reserves and marine protected areas, officially recognized by the Ministry of the Environment.
The list of wonders ranges from the Belluno Dolomites to Cilento and the Cinque Terre, a World Heritage site, from Gran Paradiso to the Sibillini Mountains and Gran Sasso, from the park of Abruzzo to the Tremiti Islands and Gargano, to islands like Ventotene, Ustica and Tavolara, from the Tuscan Archipelago to Capo Rizzuto, and from Circeo to Asinara and Vesuvius.
These are unique treasures, the incomparable beauty of which we can enjoy and the riches of which we should preserve responsibly, thinking of the future. Alitalia has given the names of the national parks to its Embraer aircraft, as a clear sign of its attentions toward the environment and the territory. The new-generation Embraer aircraft are part of the Alitalia fleet, one of the newest in Europe that, with an average age of 6.5 years, contributes to reducing the presence of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

Review: 3 PhoneGap toolkits tame mobile app development
Adobe PhoneGap, AppGyver Steroids, and Telerik Icenium simplify app development, but shine brightest at debugging and app distribution
The very first road to the various app stores from Apple and Google was paved with native code. If you wanted to write for iOS, you learned Objective-C. If you wanted to tackle Android, Java was the only way. Similar issues popped up with all the other smaller players in the smartphone market.
Then some clever developers came to a realization: All the smartphones offered a nice option for displaying HTML in a rectangle on the screen. You have to write a bit of native code that pops up this rectangle in the native language, but everything inside the rectangle is controlled by the same languages that control the browser.
[ How are your HTML and JavaScript skills? Find out in InfoWorld's JavaScript IQ test and HTML5 IQ test. | Get up to speed on all the tips and trends programmers need to know by downloading the Developers' Survival Guide. | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
Many developers immediately recognized the beauty of this. They wrote a generic native app with one big rectangle that took over the screen, then they handed off control to the JavaScript team. The result could run on all smartphones with only a few minor changes. Not only that, but the developers could use their JavaScript and HTML chops without learning too many details of the various platforms.
The early years weren't kind to this vision. Apple reacted harshly and banned some HTML apps from the App Store. Developers quickly found they couldn't get too creative with the JavaScript or the HTML before the phone started hiccuping and coughing. The HTML-based apps were often rougher and less polished than their native cousins.
That started changing several years ago. Apple relented and recognized that HTML was not dangerous. Then the hardware got faster, smoothing over many glitches. Today, some of the HTML-based apps I've been writing perform just as well as native apps -- and they're much easier to port.
Now these toolkits are being combined with cloud-based services that add cross-platform builds and app distribution to the mix. The leader of the movement, a once open source project named PhoneGap, is running strong and attracting competition from AppGyver, a startup that wants to make it all even easier. In the meantime, Telerik Icenium is evolving along a parallel path and offering a strong collection of development tools and UI widgets sewn together with JavaScript and HTML. All these tools open up the world of apps to developers who already are skilled in building Web applications.

Financing the Purchase
We have a large panel of lenders to choose from that will enable you to find the lender that best meets your finance needs when you are looking to buy back the assets of your company.
As Creditors will effectively disappear in the pre-pack process it is quite possible that cash flows in the first year of trading will allow for the assets to be purchased on deferred terms. In such circumstances we will negotiate with the Insolvency Practitioner on your behalf in order to gain the best possible terms.
Alternatively, it may be preferable to pay for the purchase through arranging financing secured against the assets, the future book debts or the Directors property. We can assist you with regard to all of the above.
For more information, please view the Commercial Finance section of our website.

Native American Women
Join Deborah "Turtle" Swartz member of and clan mother for the Southeastern Woodland Indian Loyalist Confederacy for this fascinating course on the roles of women found in Native American 18th Century Nations. In this program, participants will learn of the powers women held in a matriarchal society-both within daily life of a village and within the political structure of a nation. The Nations this class encompasses are those of the Iroquois, the Shawnee, the Delaware and the Powhatan.
Fee: $60 Senior Adult Fee: $35 Registration Fee: $8DIS-053-C1 | 09/12/14-09/26/14 | D. Swartz | Check WebAdvisor for course details and Register
1755 Braddock and Washington
This program concentrates on the first year of the French & Indian War and Britain's strategy for winning the war against France within a year. We will cover General Braddock's campaign, his march through Maryland and Virginia, and culminating in his defeat near modern Pittsburgh. We will investigate the causes for his defeat, as well as the real roles performed by Washington - not the myths - as his aide. We'll turn our attention to the north, following Massachusetts Governor William Shirley's march upon Fort Niagara and William Johnson's offensive against French Fort Frederic (Crown Point, NY). We will then follow England's removal of the Acadians, their coming to the British colonies, and their exodus to the "Acadian Coast" of Louisiana. Finally, we will see how the results of the first year impacts the campaign strategies of both France and England for the duration of the war.

1814: Critical Year
This program celebrates the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. We will focus on the year 1814, when the war is going against the United States. We will detail the British campaigns culminating in the burning of Washington, DC and the accompanying campaign against Baltimore. We will investigate the myths and realities surrounding "The Star Spangled Banner". We will next turn out attention to the north, following the British offensive from Canada down Lake Champlain and their naval defeat upon this lake. We'll discuss how the US successful defense of Baltimore and Britain's defeat in New York - nor Jackson's victory in 1815 at New Orleans - changed the peace negotiations toward America's favor.

Does anyone know where I can find a consolidated lists of appliances that drain electricity while plugged in?
I know some blenders and toaster drain energy, but all brands, or just certain ones?
Any links or lists are much appreciated.

DIY Home Decor: How to Make a Leather Valet Tray
Apartment Therapy Reader Project Tutorials
When Paul's not busy restoring vintage items, he's down in his basement workshop crafting leather goods for his etsy shop. Most projects are made to fill orders but, every once in awhile, he makes personal projects as well, including this super simple valet. Here's how to do it yourself:
DIY Home Decor: How to Make a Rope Side Table from Scratch
Apartment Therapy Reader Project Tutorial
Ashley loved rope-wrapped side tables, but didn't like the idea of buying two for her living room. After some brainstorming, she came up with a cheap solution that: a) met the need for an accent table and b) mimicked the look of woven rope. Although not great for houses with cats, they're an otherwise affordable and stylish alternative.

How to Make a Cloud Nursery Mobile
Apartment Therapy Tutorials
I've had this idea for a cloud mobile tutorial for months now, but there was always something more pressing to do (I should clarify that, in most cases, neither the mobile nor the more pressing matter was accomplished). This was actually a very easy little project, I'm surprised to say. You never know, when you delve into something new, whether it will go as planned or end up in the unfinished pile in the corner of the closet (along with the partially knitted baby blanket).
Weekend Project: Easy 30-Minute DIY
Felt Storage Bin
Apartment Therapy Tutorials
This January I am attempting to embrace the way I actually live. It's time for me to accept that no matter how organized my craft supplies are, regardless of the many bins and drawers all labeled in detail, I will always have a loose pair of scissors and a few bits and pieces of an ongoing project sitting on the table next to my favorite chair. So I've made a quick, pretty little storage bin to corral all of those bits that (try as a might!) are always around.
DIY Project Idea: How to Make a Modern Pegboard Shelving System

As DIY projects go, this is one of my favorites. A photo of one popped up here on Apartment Therapy last year, and it's been in my crosshairs ever since. I love this shelving system because it's simple, yet pretty, and can be configured in multiple ways. It's also very easy to make, with a little precision and patience. Here's how:

National River Cleanup joined Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. for their 10th river cleanup on the Winooski River in Waterbury, Vermont.
Why Did the Fish Cross the Road?
While most people ignore the tiny stream under the bridge they're driving across, river scientists and road managers think a lot about these structures. When we are working to restore our rivers we are always talking about bringing together partners and increasingly those partnerships are broadening, particularly when we think about the nexus of roads and rivers.
Map of US Dam Removals 1936-2013
Few things have such a fundamental impact on a river as a dam. Dams block a river's flow and can harm clean water, fish and wildlife, and recreation opportunities. American Rivers has pioneered a science-based approach to the removal of outdated dams. We have been creating a running inventory of all dam removal projects we… Read more »

Best Of Guest List: Jamie Cotton's Top 10 Albums of 2009
Jamie Cotton during an Ironclads gig ::: photo by Abbey Simmons
[editor's note: Though he may not realize it, few people have played a more important role in my continued love affair with local music in 2009 than Jamie Cotton of The Ironclads. Jamie's complex character-driven pop songs have kept me engaged and enamored after a hundred plus listens and what seems like almost as many live shows. For me, there was no more pleasant surprise in local music than The Ironclads, their devoted audience, and their continued growth as one of Seattle's most underrated bands. Few folks are crafting as smart and catchy pop songs as Jamie, though as his diverse Favorites of '09 show, there may be more than pop songs coming from him soon. -abbey ]
Here are 10 albums that came out in 2009 that I really dug. I often had conversations this year about how boring pop/indie music was this year. Like everyone just wanted to "mellow out" and "chill" (a la The XX or Animal Collective). I felt it was really hard to put a list together of things that really got my blood pumping. But I gave it a shot, and while the albums below run the gambit of genres, they all have incredible and very honest songwriting, which is something I think most artists strive for, but few actually achieve. Maybe, if you take each of those songs, layer them in garage band, you might end up with the next Ironclads single.
1. Baroness – Blue Record | band's website | Choice cut: "The Gnashing" | listen to track |
Its like if Mastodon wrote songs as real people, not as ridiculous shamans. This album is triumphant. Makes me want to smash my head into something so it will crack open and more glorious riffage can be absorbed.
2. Future of the Left – Travels With Myself and Another | band's website | Choice Cut: "You need Satan More than He Needs You" | listen to track |
The most punk album I've listened to for probably 3 years. My girlfriend says it sounds like Avenue Q. I agree with her.
3. Girls – Album | band's website | Choice cut: "Summertime" | listen to track |
The saddest feeling/happiest sounding album I've heard in a long time.
4. Arctic Monkeys – Humbug |band's website | Choice cut: "Pretty Visitors" | listen to track |
These guys are so cool, and they do not give a fuck about what I think. They're too busy boning supermodels. Lots of people hate them. I don't know why. I envy them.
5. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Up From Below | band's website | Choice cut: "Home" | listen to track |
"Home" is winner for cutest song of the year by far. If this band were a real cult, I would follow them into the desert and drink the Kool-Aid.
6. PJ Harvey and John Parish – A Woman A Man Walked By | band's website | Choice cut: "Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen" | listen to track |
Move over Sun(O))), this is by far the scariest record of the year. It should have been the soundtrack to Lars Von Trier's movie Anti-Christ. You always read about the lady that went crazy and killed her family when a demon possessed her. PJ Harvey is that lady.
7. akron/family – Set em Wild, Set em Free | band's website | Choice cut: "Gravelly Mountains of the Moon" | listen to track |
I wish these dudes were my friends. Then I would just go over to their house and sit in on the most out-there jam sessions. Then I would be like, "That was good, but next time rock the clarinet for another couple bars." Then they would be like, "Thanks Jamie! We really appreciate your fine songwriting talent." And I would be like, "No problem guys."
8. David Bazan – Curse Your Branches | band's website | Choice Cut: "Bearing Witness" | watch video |
Oh man… This record… Bums me out in so many great ways. Everytime I feel like I've written a good old sad song, I listen to this record, and it turns my song into garbage. Stop raising the bar David.
9. Pelican – What We All Come To Need | band's website | Choice cut: "The Creeper" | listen and download track |
On tour we played with a Portland metal band called Aristea. They were great, and the best part about them was that there wasn't a shitty lead singer to ruin their songs like most metal bands have. Pelican is the same.
10. Atlas Sound – Logos | band's website | Choice Cut: "Shelia" | download track |
I hopped on this record really late in the game. Now I really like it.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Javea Old Town - La Mariposa
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6 - 8
A 200-year-old restored finca (villa) in the traditional Spanish style, unique in its setting and styling.
From the stone walls, hand-cast terracotta tiles and wooden shutters, to the beautiful bancales surrounding the property, this is a place visitors return to year after year.
The views of the Montgo national park are breathtaking, with the valley laid out in front.
There are three bedrooms - a master bedroom with kingsize bed, ensuite bathroom and balcony views of the pool and gardens; two twin rooms which share a shower room with power shower.
A large living area includes two living rooms, a reading annex and a large kitchen-dining room.
Outside there are several areas to choose from, depending on the time of day. Outside he kitchen-diner, in front of the pool is a lounging area with sofas and chairs and an outdoor dining table - perfect for breakfast by the pool!
A large BBQ area sits just to the right of the kitchen with BBQ facilities, paella facilities and wood oven for perfect wood-fired pizzas. Wooden chairs and tables are perfect for long lazy lunches while you watch the kids in the pool.
By the pool area is a Ibizan style chill out area with sofas and music centre, all shaded to keep you cool during the height of summer - great at any time of day and perfect for siestas.
A look-out area provides more dining options with a view of the Montgo which is hard to beat. Sit here and watch the sunset and the mountain turn pink and red while you sip a sundowner and listen to the birds.
A unique setting only minutes from the village activity of Jesus Pobre, and only a ten minute drive from the hubbub of Javea and Denia towns and beaches.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- pets considered
- smoking allowed
Guestbook comments from the owner
Instantly taken to another time, another lifestyle and another world. Couldn't have been more perfect.

Stephanie Sansoucie will be our October speaker.
Description of her talk: In the future, emerging technology will infuse data into the fabric of our world resulting in immersive, contextually relevant experiences.

Building a strong UX/Agile development processby: Michael Seidel | 2014
When: Tuesday, Aug 26, 6:30pm

In his mkeUX presentation, Tony will talk how that process works in the context of a project like replacing a large website+CMS. He'll show how the UX and development stages of the process flow into each other to maintain velocity, and how the process is designed to evolve as they learn new things. Along the way, he'll share some excellent industry tools and best practices that have made their way into the process.Categories: Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Donations needed to buy a new projector screenby: Michael Seidel | 2014
UPDATE July 7: WE MET OUR GOAL – THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!!
We need your help with buying a new projector screen!
If you've ever been to one of our meetups, you've likely noticed that our projector screen is a cold war relict, a heavy metal artifact of another, clunkier age. The screen is dented from years of being rolled up and unused. The thing weighs a TON. Kornacki lovingly but unkindly refers to it as THE ALBATROSS.
If the thing was an automobile, it'd qualify for a collector's plate. But as a screen, well, it's just an old piece of junk.
Time, dudes…it moves on.
This is where you can help.
mkeUX has always been and will always be FREE to attend. We run it without a budget (all event space is lovingly donated). As someone who has attended meetings, met new people, and learned new stuff, can you give back by helping us buy a new screen?
We're looking to gather ~$150 for a screen like this one. (update: We met our goal!)
We'll remove the link as soon as we've met our goal.
So what do you say…will you help project us into the modern age? We'll love you forever.Categories: Uncategorized | 1 comment

Midwest UX: a call for volunteers!
When: June 3, 2014 6:30pm
Where: Burnhearts (2599 S Logan Ave.)
Midwest UX is calling out for a city to host the 2015 conference and we think Milwaukee is just that City!
So, why is mkeUX having a meeting about Midwest UX? We want to get some volunteers to help us put together a proposal for Milwaukee hosting the event in 2015.
What is Midwest UX you ask?
Midwest UX is a 3-day conference founded on inter-disciplinary talks and workshops built around supporting and inspiring the growing Midwest design community.

ux book club milwaukeeby: Mike Kornacki | 2014

Angelina was kind enough to write a blog post about the club and what she hopes to accomplish with it. So, here it is…
Categories: UX Book Club | Tags: mkeux, ux book club mke, ux books | Leave a comment
Since September I'd been looking for a way to become more integrated into the Milwaukee UX community. A friend of mine tipped me off to the MKEUX group and after hearing Mike talk about bringing UX culture to an organization, I was energized.
I searched for a book club in MKE to shore up gaps in my knowledge as it dawned on me that UX was something I was extremely and innately passionate about. To my dismay, the one that was listed in MKE was defunct both online and on LinkedIn. I wrote out a few emails and posted on the wall asking for details on the next meeting and heard nothing for quite some time.
In that time I spoke with some other connections in the industry. While talking to one of them over Skype, she suggested I hold myself and the community accountable in knowledge-sharing and start a book club of my very own. After we hung up the call I considered the concept for a good 30 minutes.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't let go of the idea.
My own list of reading had grown over a foot tall so I rationalized that the best way to kick start that immense learning project was to seek a community to keep me accountable. In December, I started the book club on meetup.com.
You can join myself and 20 complete strangers at meetup.com/uxbookmke and on January 22 (location details coming soon) to discuss Tom and Dave Kelley's Creative Confidence. We hope to see you there!
6 questions about usability testing from a newbieby: Michael Seidel | 2013
My friend Jamie is starting to head up usability testing efforts in her company. As part of her learning process, she asked me a few questions about how I test. So I decided to publish the answers here.
One thing that I'll say is that I'm increasingly wary of relying on usability testing to "validate" designs. I truly believe that to get a project right, you need to involve end users in feedback sessions, starting at the wireframe stage. Basically, talk to people every week. Involve everyone in your project team in the research by encouraging them attend sessions and ask questions. Or show them recordings of the feedback sessions.
Usability testing is still a must when it gets to that stage. But many problems can be avoided if you involve users constantly in the design process.
That said, here are my answers to Jamie's questions!
Who from the project should be involved in the process of deciding what to test?
I usually sit down with a Product Manager, a Business Analyst, members of the User Experience Team, and any other critical stakeholder to discuss research goals, objectives, and timing. After that meeting, I create and circulate a one page research plan to summarize/formalize what we've agreed on.
How do you determine what to test?
It all comes out of this the discussion with PMs, BAs, UX, and stakeholders. In my world, I'd say everything should be usability tested! It should be an ongoing cycle.
Is there a typical duration for a test, or at least a good standard for software testing? And what's a good number of tasks to have someone complete during a test?
I lumped these two questions together because they're related. This is definitely an area where a researcher can't be rigid. There's no right answer to either of these. As a rule of thumb, however, I'd suggest no more tha 1½ hr & two scenarios. But I've done longer sessions with four scenarios and shorter lasting 15 minutes with a single scenario.
If the project team decides there is a TON to test, I'd say two things:
- You should have done research much earlier in the process
- Consider splitting things up into multiple testing initiatives. Make each session more focused rather than trying to do everything in a single effort.
Is it better to put a time constraint on a task to determine if the user "failed" the task, or is it better to just let them keep working, no matter how long it takes?
In planning for research, every element should be roughly timeboxed. Meaning if you have two scenarios, each should have a timeframe associate with it, and you should also know how long your introduction and follow-up questionnaires will take. Not to say you have to follow these timeframes exactly. But they should frame the overall discussion. This is how you ensure that you don't waste the user's time and end up keeping them longer than they anticipated.
That said, sometimes users just flounder. Even if that happens, you should have "back up" questions that fill time and still extract value from the session. Facilitating gets easier the more you do it. At first, struggling users can make a session super difficult. But as you get more experienced, you learn more and more how to draw users out of funks.
The best feedback usually comes when things go off-script. So just be patient and ask good questions! On the rare occasion that the session becomes painful, don't feel bad about wrapping up early. Just tell them you got through everything you needed to get through and they can have the rest of their morning/afternoon back to him or herself!
Have any tips on intervention to help a user along with a task if they're stuck on something?
This is related to the above. But specifically, keep asking open-ended questions. If after a few tries, they can't come up with an answer, by all means "give the answer away." Especially if it's a critical step in completing a process and you need feedback on the next step. Just have a discussion centered around the right answer. Ask what you could do to have made it more obvious or if they have other ideas that could make it easier to interact with.
If you do put a fail time on a task, where do you get that number from? Is there a rule of thumb, like, the amount of time it takes me (the SME) to do it, times 5 or something?
I honestly haven't done much time on task testing. But I'm not sure that there's a magic equation (though I could be wrong…any quantitative researchers want to correct me?). Especially one based on how long it takes a SME to do something versus an actual end user. I'd say that it also comes down to how familiar a user is with a design – are you testing enhancements to an existing design? Or something brand new? If a user is interacting with a design for the first time, it'll obviously take more time than it will after they learn how to use it.
Thanks for asking these questions, Jamie!Categories: usability | Leave a comment
