Pine Bark Extract And Essiac As Health Supplements
Pine bark extract is among the latest elements taken with Essiac to enhance its healthy characteristics. Initially constructed of rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark and burdock root, this nutritional supplement has become presently being modified to satisfy the dietary needs of various customers. Pine bark extract is gathered in the maritime pine tree, that is stated to contain naturally sourced proanthocyanidins. Presupposed to have antioxidant qualities, they're presently packed as capsules and offered at different talents. Mediterranean pine virtually equal grape seed products like a natural source, using the added bonus of ease of access and sustainability. See, maritime pine is really a broadly cultivated plant existence within the western and north western Mediterranean region, stretching to France, Italia, The country, Portugal and The other agents. Also known as Turkish pine, they stand 20 to 35 meters tall with trunks which have a diameter of three.three to six.6 ft. The bark is indicated to become thick, flaky, deeply fissured and orange-red-colored. And it is foliage is stout and lengthy, generally paired and bluish-eco-friendly colored.
Just before getting used for wellness reasons, the med pine was exclusively requested woodworking and it was about the most timber in the region.

However in 1951, French investigator Jacques Masquelier discovered accounts of the explorer named Jacques Cartier who could reverse ascorbic acid deficiency among his males having a Native American tea constructed of tree bark. He analyzed this claim and discovered European seaside pine trees that created quite a lot of proanthocyanidins, catechins, flavonoids, and phenolic chemicals substances which may later be located in supplements processed from grape seed products and garlic clove, to title a couple of.
Clinical tests for that actual results of pine bark extract continue to be on-going and speculations on its positive effect on circulation disorders have appeared. This, together with its antioxidant qualities, has managed to get a seem accessory for the already adding nourishment to ingredients of Essiac. Now, simply to clarify, Essiac first found light throughout the 20's whenever a Canadian nurse tried on the extender to alleviate several patients of numerous ailments.

What is wealth-building?
Your coaches introduce the concept of building wealth.
Instructional Text
"Having money" and "building wealth" are really two different things. Having an income is great … it pays the bills … but that's money that goes into your pocket and right back out. Wealth is things like savings, property, and investments. It's resources you can use to create and take advantage of opportunities in life.
I agree. And that's why wealth-building usually doesn't happen overnight, or in a year, or even three years. It's a series of steps that you take over time. The steps are simple to explain, but a lot harder to do. You have to discipline yourself to make wealth-building a lifelong pattern. If you do, you'll keep getting better at it as time goes on.
On the next few screens, we'll show you the steps for building wealth.
Wealth = A set of resources (savings, assets, investments) Allows you to create and take advantage of life's opportunities Wealth-building = Series of steps over time Simple actions that require self-discipline

Got late today, need to get to campus to lecture (on ethology of agricultural animals, love this topic; showing segments from an amazing video by Ginger Kathrens, Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies--four years of phenomenal cinematography of a pale, white stallion born in the American Rockies through his maturity into a herd stallion). So much I want to write, will write soon about Darwin Day at UW last Saturday and a great new book on the adventures of Darwin, Wallace and Bates... will do tomorrow or Saturday.Meanwhile, life is pretty, uh, biological at the farm. The twin lambs have sore mouth, a yucky disease that causes cold sore like lesions on their mouths. Once you get it in the flock it's hard to get rid of, can't vaccinate to prevent it, is catching and serious in humans. Read More

Horse and Dog Training–Similarities
I just finished reading a lovely novel, The Hearts of Horses, by Molly Gloss. It's about a young woman who strikes out to make her living "gentling" horses in 1917, when many of the men were off to war. She's more comfortable around animals than she is around people (a current topic of postings on my Feb. 4th '09 blog) and uses methods atypical of the time. Rather than "breaking" horses, Molly uses what people often now call "horse whisperer" techniques to teach horses to work with, rather than against, the people who ride them.In spite of my lack of fondness for the title "horse whisperer," I will never forget watching horse trainer Pat Parelli work an "uncatchable" horse in an arena in Madison, Wisconsin. The horse was so difficult to catch that the club who brought Parelli to Madison Read More
Why are some People more comfortable around animals?
There's an interesting discussion going on, on-line, in my university course right now. One of the students asked why some people like non-human animals more than they do members of their own species. There are some extremely interesting comments posted to that question, especially about animals being 'innocents' rather than moral agents who can choose to be cruel.The question, and other potential answers, reminded me of an essay I wrote in Dog is My Co-Pilot, titled "Love is Never Having to Say Anything at All." In it I argue that one of the reasons we love dogs so much is that, well, because they can't talk. As I write in the essay: "Words may be wonderful things, but they carry weight with them, and there's a great lightness of being when they are discarded." Of course, this Read More
Tool Use in Dogs or Cats?
On Tuesday I gave a lecture in my UW class about tool use and the cultural transmission of information in non-human animals. It's one of my favorite lectures; it does my heart good to ponder so many interesting examples of our connections with other animals. The list of discoveries of animals using tools is ever growing; ever since Jane Goodall discovered chimps using modified twigs to catch termites, researchers have observed crows in Australia manufacturing hooked tools to pry insects out of bark, dolphins carefully placing sponges over their rostrums to protect their tissues while foraging, chimpanzees using two tools (hammer and anvil) to crack nuts... the list goes on and on. Here's a truly great video of New Caledonian Crows figuring out how to combine a penchant for nuts and Read More

2013-14 Hawai`i Legislature
2014 Activity
In 2014, only one of several 2014 geothermal regulatory bills survived until late in the session.
SB2663 was heard and amended by the House Committees on Energy and Environmental Protection and Water and Land (Stand. Com. Rep. No. 1114-14) and amended (SB2663 SD2 HD 1.) The amendments included eliminating mandatory mediation, restoring contested cases and adding a fracking ban. Then the bill was considered by a conference committee where it died without a vote.
Additional 2014 bills included HB2639, originally a short form bill with added language (HD1) virtually identical to the original SB2663, heard bby the House Committees on Energy and Environmental Protection and Water and Land where it was recommended that the measure be passed with amendments (i.e., adding several standards to the procedure, removing mediation but not allowing contested cases, HD2.) On February 20, 2014, the House Finance Committee recommended that the measure be deferred (meaning the bill will not proceed.) HB1766, introduced by Rep. Hanohano, to affect statutory provisions repealed by Act 97 (by restoring the geothermal resource subzones and establishing a permitting process for geothermal resources development) also would require BLNR and the counties to implement the recommendations of the 2013 Final Report of the Geothermal Public Health Assessment Study Group prior to issuing future geothermal development permits. However, on Thursday February 13,2014, the House Committees on Energy and Environmental Protection recommended that the measure be deferred (meaning the bill will not proceed.) A Senate version of the same bill, SB3021, introduced by Sen. Ruderman and others, was referred to a joint hearing in the Senate Committees on Energy and Environment, Water and Land and Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs but no hearing was scheduled (meaning the bill did not proceed.)
Note: The 2013 Final Report of the Geothermal Public Health Assessment Study Group should be recognized as affirming community members' expressed positions on public health and safety issues. The Report was initiated by Hawai`i County and embraced by its pro-geothermal mayor (promising its recommendations will be funded by the Planning Commission: "We want to ensure that the public safety and public health is paramount," he said, "We need to determine with accuracy and specify exactly what harm if any is being caused.") It describes and validates public health and safety concerns and makes recommendations addressing those matters. The government-sponsored study on geothermal development in the only place where it has been experienced in Hawai`i should be given due weight by Legislators concerned with public health and safety in energy policy.
SB2940, introduced by Sen. Ruderman and others to prohibit geothermal fracking in Hawai`i, was heard on Wednesday February 12, 2014, in a joint hearing of the Senate Committees on Water and Land and Energy and Environment. where it was recommended that it be passed (SD1.) A companion House bill, HB2359, introduced by Rep. Hanohano, was heard on February 13, 2014, by a joint hearing in the House Committees on Energy and Environmental Protection and Water and Land where it was recommended that the measure be passed with amendments (i.e., a three year sunset provision; HD1). Neither bill was scheduling for their next committee hearings (meaning the bills will not proceed.)
2013 Activity
HB106, originally introduced to repeal Act 97, had wide support. On its way through three House committees it was amended to remove geothermal subzones and was passed over to the Senate. At a hearing on March 21, 2013, before the Senate Committees on Energy and Environment (ENE), Water and Land (WTL) and Public Safety (PSM), House Bill 106 was deferred.
On April Fools Day the Senate Committees on Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs and Judiciary and Labor unexpectedly amended HB252, that pertained to the Native Hawaiian roll commission, by adding language providing for permitting geothermal development. On April 9, 2013, HB252 was the subject of a floor amendment that removed mediation provisions. On April 11, 2013, HB252 passed the Third Reading in the Senate and was transmitted to House as amended. Conference Draft #1 reinserted the mediation language removed by Senator Ruderman's Senate floor amendment. On April 26th, being unable to reach an agreement, the conference committee deferred HB252.

Russell, formerly known as Kororāreka, was New Zealand's first permanent European settlement.
In the 1830s, this was a lawless trading centre where whalers, seafarers and merchants mixed with adventurers, deserters and escaped convicts from Australia. Kororareka was nicknamed "the Hellhole of the Pacific", hard to imagine now, as with time, Russell has become a picturesque holiday destination.
Historic places in Russell include Christ Church (1835-6), the oldest existing church in NZ, which is still used today. Before the church was built, missionaries from Paihia used to row across the bay to take services in private homes. They purchased land in 1834 from Kororareka chiefs Rewa, Wharerahi and Moka, and agreed that Maori and Europeans should have equal rights of burial.
In 1841 the capital was moved from Kororāreka to Auckland, a change that led to a downturn in power and economic advantages for Ngapuhi chiefs.
Maori grievances led to the Battle of Kororāreka, in which chiefs Heke and Kawiti attacked the town on 11 March 1845, felling the flagpole for a fourth time and burning much of the town. Scars from stray musket and cannon balls can still be seen on the church today. The graves in the churchyard include those of Tamati Waka Nene, early settlers and whalers.
Pompallier Mission was built in 1841, by the French Roman Catholic Bishop Pompallier. Built of rammed earth, it is the only surviving building of the French Catholic mission headquarters to the Western Pacific. It is now restored to its original French Lyonnaise layout and houses a working printery. Visit Russell Museum – Te Whare Taonga o Kororāreka, for a look at Maori and European history and a scale replica of Cook's ship Endeavour.
Walk up to Maiki or Flagstaff Hill, where Ngapuhi chief Hone Heke and his allies cut down the flagstaff four times in protest against the government. There are beautiful views over the Bay of Islands. If you fancy getting out on the water and sailing on a boat that looks historical at least, the tall ship R. Tucker Thompson has cruises running from Russell.
Pretty cottages, cafes and restaurants are in abundance in Russell. Some restaurants are in historic buildings. The Duke of Marlborough was New Zealand's first licensed hotel - " the Duke" is the fourth hotel on the site: "Refreshing Rascals and Reprobates since 1827".
"The Gables" was built by a shoemaker in 1847. It has been used to hide sailors who jumped ship, been a bordello, a Salvation Army Boys home, and is now a top restaurant. Whether you choose fish and chips or fine dining, take a wander along the Strand afterwards to enjoy the sea views and atmosphere of this beautiful place.

Yesterday I wore my new dress from Sugarlips !
I love this dress because it is incredibly versatile. I chose to go for a darker doll inspired look this time, but I already have ideas for totally other ways to wear it. I am planning on wearing it with a bunch of layers in a punk inspired way soon!
I think I have worn this necklace everyday since I got it recently! I don't know why I waited so long to order a rosary necklace, I have wanted one forever!
I really do love the simplicity of this dress. I have been needing a black or grey solid colored dress that is comfortable and super easy to coordinate for a while now!

Texas Probate Mailing List Policies
Revision date: January 26, 2011
Following are the policies of the Texas Probate email mailing list and related portions of The Texas Probate Web Site.
1. Purpose. The purpose of the list is to provide a forum for the exchange of information among licensed Texas attorneys who practice in the estate planning, probate and trust law areas. This purpose should be kept in mind when composing a post to the list.
2. Application. These policies apply to (a) posts to the list, (b) responses to posts to the list, (c) list archives, (d) those portions of The Texas Probate Web Site requiring a professional membership to access, and (e) the use, reproduction or dissemination of any of that information or intellectual property. When capitalized in these policies, "Post" shall be used generally to cover any information posted to the list, any information contained in comments or responses to posts, any information found in the list archives and any information found on The Texas Probate Web Site. By subscribing to the Texas Probate Mailing List or applying for a professional membership in The Texas Probate Web Site, you consent to these policies and agree to comply with them. Persons who violate these policies may be excluded from the list and may have their professional membership in the Texas Probate Web Site terminated without notice.
3. Professional Membership. In order to access list messages, archives and indexes on The Texas Probate Web Site, list members must join the site as a professional member by completing and submitting this form. Professional membership is open to attorneys and other estate planning professionals. If you are a licensed Texas attorney, you must submit your bar number for verification. If you are not a licensed Texas attorney, you must establish your bona fide relationship to estate planning. Note that professional membership in the web site is optional -- persons may subscribe to the list without being professional members of the site. List members who choose not to become professional members of the web site will not be able to access the mailing list resources on the site.
4. Posting by persons who are not licensed Texas attorneys. While not strictly prohibited, postings by non-licensed Texas attorneys are discouraged. The list is for frank discussion among attorneys of legal issues, not a forum for free legal advice. Here are a few exceptions to the no non-attorney posting rule:
- Judicial/county clerk personnel. Judges, court personnel, and clerk personnel who actively handle probate matters are welcome to post (and respond to posts) on relevant topics.
- Out-of-state attorneys. Attorneys who are licensed in other states who have Texas-related questions are welcome to post.
- Paralegals, etc. Paralegals, legal assistants, etc., employed by licensed Texas attorneys may post relevant questions to the list on behalf of the attorneys for whom they work.
- Non-attorney tax professionals. CPAs, etc., with tax expertise may participate in discussions on tax topics.
5. Poster's firm name and city of practice. Persons posting to the list should include their full names, firm name (if they practice in a firm) and city of practice in each post. Attorneys who don't practice in a firm should identify themselves as an attorney. Non-attorneys who post to the list (see #4 above) also should include that fact in their posts. Examples:
John Jakes
Jakes and Jakes
Dallas, Texas
John Jakes
John Jakes
Dallas, Tx
John Jakes
Dallas, TX
John Jakes
Dallas, TX
John Jakes
Dallas, Texas
6. Business solicitations. Business solicitations and direct advertising are not permitted. Here are specific rules regarding certain business-related postings:
- Announcements of the new addresses or web sites of attorney list members are permitted.
- Announcements of new publications (on the web or otherwise) or upcoming speeches on relevant legal topics by attorney list members are permitted.
- Requests for information about estate planning attorneys who practice in a different part of the state or country are permitted (e.g., "I need a probate attorney in Childress"). The subject lines for these posts should clearly identify the nature of the request (e.g., "Need Probate Attorney in Childress").
- Firm notices of estate and probate attorney positions available (job openings) are permitted. The subject lines for these posts should clearly identify the nature of the request (e.g., "Associate Position Available in Houston" and should ask list members to respond privately to the poster's email address. Responses should be made privately to the poster's email address and not to the entire list.
- Employment notices for non-attorney positions are NOT permitted (e.g., no notices regarding secretarial or paralegal openings).
- Posts by persons seeking employment (e. g., "I need a job!") are NOT permitted.
- Office space for rent, posts about looking for office space and solicitations for office-sharing arrangements are NOT permitted.
7. Anti-spam/anti-virus rules.
- All posts must come from email addresses which are subscribed to the list. If you post something to the list, you should receive a copy of it from the list address. If you don't, it is probably because your computer attached a non-subscribed address to the message. You should check your subscription (for example, unsubscribe the "bad" address and resubscribe with the "good" address) and resend the message.
- Posts with attachments are prohibited. Many viruses spread through attachments, so the list prohibits attachments. Never open an attachment to a list message.
- Unsolicited bulk email (spam) is prohibited. Spammers are subject to expulsion from the list. Persons who violate list policies (especially repeat offenders) are subject to expulsion from the list.
- Do not respond to spam by hitting the "reply" button. Do not respond to spam by posting to the list. If you hit the reply button, it is likely that your response will be sent to everyone on the list, making the spam problem that much worse. If you wish to correspond with the list owner about a spam problem, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
8. Consider responding privately. List members should try to make every posting to the list count by asking themselves, "Is this something other list members will be interested in?" For example, most list members are not interested in reading a post thanking others for responses to the list (unless that response contains useful additional information). If you wish to thank someone for a response, send that message privately. Non-substantive responses or posts (like thank you posts) will not be archived on The Texas Probate Web Site. Note that private responses will not be archived on the web site, so if you think your email may be of interest to future list members searching the archives, please post it to the list.
9. Copyright information; use of Posts. Unless otherwise noted in the Post, all Posts are subject to the Creative Commons -- Attribution, Non-Commercial Use, No Derivation copyright. Persons posting information to the mailing list own their own posts, but each person posting to the list gives Glenn Karisch a non-exclusive license to use the Post or any portion thereof free of charge.
10. Non-confidentiality of Posts. All Posts are non-confidential. Since anyone may subscribe to the list, list messages may be accessed by the members of the public. Through the use of professional memberships to the Texas Probate Web Site, Glenn Karisch will attempt to deny public web access to posts to the list, but he does not guarantee that members of the public will be unable to access information in Posts.

'Dyscalculia - (revised) The Why's And How To Spot Some Of The Signs' by Dyslexia Dublin CETC © 2015
Do you as an adult, or maybe your child, have problems with immediate number recognition? This article has been penned to give you an idea of what dyscalculia is all about and some helpful tips to improve things along the way.
Dyscalculia can be described as an innate specific learning disability (in the mind) that prohibits various levels of understanding in mathematics. It is very similar to dyslexia and, in some cases, children/adults can have both (co-morbidity).
Unlike its close relation, dyslexia; dyscalculia is new to many within the education sector, we are one of very few that work in this subject area.
Unlike its close relation, dyslexia; dyscalculia is new to many within the education sector, we are one of very few that work in this subject area.
Maths as we all know is a core subject and therefore has to be studied, but there are ways that it can be improved by becoming number fluent… we suggest and use a very visual/kinaesthetic approach to improving fluency and improving mental imagery, and visualisation is all important. Those of you who share dyslexia and dyscalculia, as I do, will know that we are constantly told we have a great imagination… can you imagine how many football players or snooker players would have never reached the height of their profession without great imagination? It is a great asset and if we can apply this to our studies, we will truly fly! Numbers for many is tiring, unless you are an accountant or extremely rich and spend all your time calculating your wealth
We have great results from many that at one point shook just hearing the word maths, it needs to tuition needs to take into account all the various learning styles.
There are very few centres that work with dyscalculics, if you would like to discuss this further then you can visit our website at www.dublin-cetc.com

Just to mention… to see other articles and information around Dyscalculia, check out our Facebook forum page - https://www.facebook.com/
There are many variants with dyscalculia, which can include a difficulty in understanding numbers, ie. 5 back to front and getting sums reversed (54 x 4 can be read as 45 x 4), learning how to manipulate numbers, learning maths facts and a number of other related symptoms, such as recognising the letters/words side of maths (dyslexia) and even down to reconstruction of the sum onto to your workbook (dysgraphia) and number alignment, which is key to totalling sums correctly. As with dyslexia, Maths disabilities can also occur as the result of some types of brain injury (apraxia), in which case the proper term is acalculia, to distinguish it from dyscalculia which is of innate, genetic or developmental origin.
Although maths learning difficulties can be genetic, occurring in children with low levels of academia, dyscalculia also affects people from across the whole IQ range (Einstein had dyslexia) and sufferers often, but not always, also have difficulties with telling the time and measuring (eg. cooking).
Many find counting numbers going forward in a particular pattern straightforward, however they have problems with reversing numbers, especially those that have a sequence involving 2's and 3's. Very few develop islands… by this I mean number platforms like 5-10-15 or 3-6-9… this alone can improve calculating as many use their fingers and count from the base line of say 1-10-20, so 20 + 8 becomes 21-22-23-24-25-26-27 and finally 28, instead of platform 25 and 26-27-28, much easier and quicker too.
Estimates of the population with dyscalculia range between 3 and 6%. Around 50% of those with dyslexia have dyscalculia and those who don't are generally quite good at mathematics.
Dyscalculia can cause problems with the written maths and indeed for those with dyslexia and dyscalculia, algebra can cause particular problems as the calculations and written word become entwined… however, not so with physical maths (eg. counting with fingers or an abacus) as this is visual. Learning Maths through the visual channel is very important (games, etc.). Also, I find that some, but not all, children are no longer being taught by rote (ie. memorising through repetition)… children with specific learning needs would benefit from this method also as it creates rhythm and provides another method of learning. As I've mentioned in previous articles, over learning is so important, ie. a variety of ways of learning a subject and lots of repetition.
Children suffering from visual stress and those with dysgraphia can also have a problem with writing down sums, as they have a problem in forming columns and rows.
Symptoms of dyscalculia could be if you throw down a number of coins or counters in a random fashion the child/adult would have difficulty in arriving at the correct value/number. They would have a far greater chance of accuracy if they were in rows. This, in itself, can be a problem if your child goes into a shop to buy something. If, for example, you ask them to buy milk in the shop and get something for themselves, it's helpful to give the money for both separately so they know which is which and don't get confused. It can also be useful to let them pay the cashier when you're with them, counting the money out loud, to help them get used to the values of different notes and coins. As they get more confident, you could get them to calculate the supermarket shopping, adding each item as you put it in the basket either on a calculator or by writing and adding the numbers in their maths copy book (squared). All these things help to build greater number recognition.
Also, with varied objects, ie. one of each… cow, pig, horse, dog for example… they would then use their visual image side to great effect and gain the correct answer and with increased speed too.
Reading a clock is also difficult, especially analogue as opposed to digital… again, games can speed this up. Also, going in up in 5's is good (5, 10, 15 mins) again using platforms and try, for now, to avoid introducing the 'to the hour', just use past the hour, ie. 10,20,30,40 mins past, etc. 'Quarter past/to' and 'half past' can be introduced later on. Also. time keeping can be a problem – it's beneficial to use minutes when giving instruction, ie. we're going out in 10 minutes, it'll be time for bed in 20 minutes… as they will find this easier to understand.
As with Dyslexia, left and right is a problem - with map reading people often turn the map towards the direction they need to head.
Other symptoms are an inability to process multiple requests, difficulty in multi-tasking. Also, problems with reading music and with visualisation in general.
Many adults with dyscalculia have learnt to adapt their world to allow them use their strengths. Being creative for the most part, many become writers and artists.
Software intended to intervene and improve children and adult's academic ability is now widely available.
Multi-sensory educational therapy is a very effective way of increasing academic (ability) age up to a person's chronological age range.

The Diamonds have returned home with a two-Test lead over the Silver Ferns in the Constellation Cup but there's still plenty of hard work to do with two Tests left in this series.
The first two Tests in Christchurch and Auckland were intense, hard-fought encounters that we were fortunate to do the little things a bit better at the crucial stages to get the wins.
But New Zealand has shown they are a dangerous opponent and one that we will continue to respect when we step out on court in Melbourne on Sunday and Perth next Friday.
At different stages in the first two games the Silver Ferns were able to gain control and put our team under pressure where we made mistakes either with our decision-making or passes.
We know we must address those areas at training over the next week to deny New Zealand a look in at levelling the series.
It was pleasing to see Gabi Simpson and Gretel Tippett make their Test debuts on the New Zealand leg of the series. Both showed plenty of promise and I'm excited to see how they develop next year.
We'll make some changes to our squad for these next two Tests with Jo Weston and Ashleigh Brazill coming in.
Our captain Laura Geitz is taking a well-deserved break to rest a niggling knee injury along with Gabi.
On Wednesday night I was thrilled to learn the news that national selector Anne Sargeant had been elevated to Legend status in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
It was a proud moment for Anne and her family to be recognised alongside the greats of Australian sport in front of her peers. I'm told that a few tears may have been shed by not just Anne, but her husband Warwick as well!
I don't know of anyone else who's done more for the sport in the last few decades than Annie. She was a formidable opponent at national level when I represented Victoria and dominated the international stage for many years.
She's left a giant legacy on our game and the sport is far better placed now because of the publicity it received from people like Anne.
Like many Australians, I will be up and cheering the Wallabies in the early hours of Monday morning as they take on Argentina in the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup.
The Diamonds have been inspired by what the team has achieved over their campaign and we are all hoping they can advance to the final and emulate what ourselves and the Australian cricket team did this year – becoming world champions.
So to coach Michael Cheika, captain Stephen Moore and the rest of the Wallabies team – good luck and I know you will do Australia proud.
Sunday's game will be our first match in Australia since the final of the Netball World Cup in August and the team is excited to hear that our Tests in Melbourne and Perth will be played in front of near capacity crowds.
We'll break a record at Perth Arena and it just goes to show that Australia has the best netball fans in the world.
So, whether you're at the game or watching us live on ONE HD or FOX SPORTS – or the Netball Live app – thanks for your support, wear your colors, cheer loud and we'll do our best to do you all proud.

Matteo Renzi, the head of the centre-left party ruling Italy in coalition, has called for a new government to be formed.
In what amounts to an attempted palace coup against prime minister and party colleague Enrico Letta, Renzi, 39, told a Democratic Party (PD) meeting it was time for Italy to turn a new page.
"There are the need and urgency to open a new period, with a new government," the mayor of Florence, who was elected as leader of the PD in December, said.
Renzi urged the replacement of Letta, 47, at the head of a coalition government formed with the centre-right last year - without going to the polls.
"Italy can't live the next months and years in uncertainty," Renzi said. "I'm asking you to get together."
The politician often nicknamed as "Little Berlusconi" or "Italy's Tony Blair" said that Italy's controversial electoral laws needed to be reformed before new elections could be called.
Renzi thanked Letta for the work he has carried out but still accused his government of lack of action.
Meanwhile, Letta has called off an official visit in the UK scheduled for the end of February, the Financial Times reported.

Outdoor bathrooms: discover a new bathroom experience
Noken Porcelanosa Bathrooms is immersed in outdoor spaces to offer a world about water, created to offer unique moments. Outdoor bathroom equipment has become one of the most outstanding innovations from the firm for the PORCELANOSA Grupo International Exhibition.
The new whirlpool bath equipment and outdoor showers provide the latest technology for the user, using chromotherapy, music therapy and of course hydrotherapy techniques.
OUTSIDE bathtubs: maximum comfort in a new space
All the components of Outside bathtubs are fully prepared for being outdoors, and furthermore, they remain unaffected by external weather agents.
In addition to its unalterable resistance, the new outdoor bathroom equipment designs have systems providing simplicity in the selection and execution of functions, making the user's experience easier in the bathtub with buttons that change colour to the sound of the different hydrotherapy and chromotherapy techniques.
As well as that, Noken offers the possibility of adapting its Soleil Round, Square, and Minimal Duo bathtubs to the outdoors. The firm allows for the highest quality wall tiles to be included, which guarantee the durability and resistance of the bathtub, taking care of the design and blending in perfectly with outdoor spaces.
OUTSIDE showers: design structures which induce relaxation
Manufactured in stainless steel, this material makes the shower column, which consists of a two-way mixer, a shower head, and a hand shower, ideal for the outdoors. A piece with a neat design, since its structure integrates the taps inside the column in a subtle and elegant way.
In this way, Noken Porcelanosa Bathroom takes a qualitative leap in terms of bathroom design with perfect elements for creating an oasis of wellness and elegance in outdoor spaces.

Now and then I get very intrigued by a complex painting I've made. It's been happening a lot with "Smoke and Water." One painting has already come out of it, and I do think more are on the way.
As promised a few posts ago, it's time to show you the painting that came out of this painting. (Perhaps it does pay to paint very busy compositions!)
Look closely at the top painting (click for larger views) and you will see the area that gave me the idea to explore and then paint the new one. Did it take you long to find it?
With art, one thing so often leads to another. I'm glad I am back to painting full-time now, as the ideas are flowing and I want to get momentum going! There is one little issue…
Studio clean up! I'm slowly getting there.

I can't believe it's teaser time already. Where has the month of March gone? Seriously? But teaser time is always fun and we're kicking it off with Who's That Girl? Let's Grab Drinks.
She's perfect for paper piecing so that's what I did, with one of the patterns from the Simple Stories Fabulous 6x6 paper pad. I added a few coats of clear glaze pen to the glass to make it shiny and layered the image onto hot fudge card stock.
Do you spy any new Die-namics dies? Well, I've used four new ones on this card, starting with the Chevron Stripes Die-namics which I cut from pink lemonade card stock and layered under the image. Then I used the amazing new Fishtail Flags STAX...love!!!! I used the second largest size and cut it from fossil card stock, then I stamped one of the sentiments from the set at the bottom of the fishtail. The floral embellishment was created by cutting english rose felt using the royal rose Die-namics die. Check out the detail on the leaves, which were cut from sour apple card stock using the Royal Leaves Die-namics. And the flower layers perfectly on one of the Mini Doily Circles Die-namics.

Sealegs granted by court of New Zealand a permanent injunction
Future Mobility Solutions (www.FutureMobilitySolutions.net/) is pleased to announce that in the copyright infringement matter before the High Court of New Zealand between its wholly owned subsidiary, Sealegs International Limited and, inter alia, Orion Marine Limited, Darren Leybourne, Smuggler Marine Limited , Yun Zhang and David Pringle, that the judgement has been delivered in favour of Sealegs.
"Placing importance in protecting IP and patents should encourage companies to continue to invest in R&D. If a company can simply steal another's technologies and use it in their own products – there is no incentive for companies to build their own R&D programs. Sealegs hold the rights to those innovations, through its hard work, therefore deserve the benefits and return on that investment. "Sealegs will always do what it takes to protect its IP" states, Eric Series , Chairman of Future Mobility Solutions, the parent company of Sealegs Patented Amphibious Technology.
Sources and investigative research clearly indicate there was premeditated desire to copy Sealegs Patented Amphibious Technology.
"We welcome competition in the market but we will not stand by and watch unlawful business practices such as stealing or copying patented technology " said Mark Broadley FMS CEO.
The court has granted Sealegs a permanent injunction against the defendants and has determined that costs and damages are also due. A further hearing will be heard in this respect.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Future Mobility Solutions Limited.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Dorian Pickens learned from last year's seniors and that helped get him ready to fill a bigger role this season. He's applying those lessons.
Pickens scored a career-high 20 points, Michael Humphrey had his second double-double in as many games and Stanford beat Charleston Southern 93-59 in a preliminary game of the Preseason NIT on Sunday.
''We're all capable of scoring,'' said Pickens, who added eight assists. ''I'm feeling comfortable this season. We played under great seniors and I paid attention to Anthony Brown, who played my position. I worked at it during the offseason.''
Rosco Allen added a career-high 19 points and Reid Travis added 13 for the Cardinal (2-0), who have won seven straight dating to last year's run through the Postseason NIT. Humphrey added 13 points and 12 rebounds.
''Guys have the mentality of the next pass, looking for a great shot instead of a good one,'' Humphrey said. ''We look at it like we can have four or five guys in double figures every game.''
Patrick Wallace scored 13 points to lead the Buccaneers (0-2), who start the season with two losses for the first time in three years. Aaron Wheeler added 10.
''It's just a great opportunity for our team to participate in the preseason NIT, and it's something we wanted to do,'' Bucs coach Barclay Radebaugh told the team's website. ''We want to compete against the best. We want our program to be known nationwide, and I think it helps our recruiting to play such a competitive schedule.''
The Cardinal, who committed 21 turnovers in their overtime victory against Wisconsin-Green Bay on Friday, had eight against the Buccaneers.
''It was a lot better tonight,'' Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. ''Especially against pressure. Our offense is about moving the ball and getting guys moving.''
Stanford held a 48-14 advantage in points in the paint, 20-3 in points off turnovers and 16-5 edge in second-chance points.
Charleston Southern's bench outscored the Cardinal's bench, 33-22.
Stanford never trailed in the contest and held a double-digit advantage over the final 30 minutes.
The Buccaneers, with one returning starter from last year's Big South Conference title team, never could put any kind of run together, falling to 0-5 against teams from the Pac-12.
Charleston Southern has three seniors on its roster, and one is a transfer.
The Cardinal led at halftime, 46-21.
Charleston Southern has ranked among the top 11 in both made 3-pointers and 3-point attempts in each of the past three seasons. Against Stanford, the Buccaneers attempted 16 3-pointers in their first 23 shots. They are also the first team from the Big South to participate in the Preseason NIT.
Stanford is 94-30 at home under coach Johnny Dawkins and has won at least 10 games at home in each of the past 22 seasons. Former NBA player Brevin Knight was Stanford's point guard when the streak started.
Charleston Southern returns home to meet Johnson and Wales in its home opener on Wednesday.
Stanford plays at home against SMU on Thursday.

Why form is important for runners
Jogging is one of the easiest exercises in the world. You are designed to run, so you don't have to worry about learning any techniques or rules… or at least this is what you thought. Once you started reading about running, you found out that most professional runners work on their "form". What does this mean and how it can help you?
- If you have some experience with running, you know that if you run at a certain pace you will be able to last longer. On the other hand, if you try to run faster, slower or to raise your feet higher, you will get tired very fast. Your body has a natural running "form," and it takes a lot of experience and practice to find it. Did you find the perfect rhythm and style of running? Then you found your form.
- Improving your form will help you run faster. Over the years, it was proven by many athletes that running in your natural form can help you run faster. While this is not a great advantage if you are an amateur, it can be really useful when you run in a competition.
- It will help you avoid injuries. Your body knows how to run to avoid any injury. If you try to force your muscles and ligaments to move in a certain way, you will eventually get a tearing.
- You will have better resistance. Apparently, runners who run in their form need less oxygen when they run; this means that your body will not have to put so much effort into running, and you will be able to go on longer distances. The only problem is that once your body gets used to running in a certain style, your muscles will become less "active" and you can get injured. The conclusion? Find your form, and adapt it when you feel less comfortable with it.

Each year, there are dozens of celebrations calling for gifts — from birthdays and weddings to holidays like Christmas… and that's not even to mention surprise gifts, or presents for a host/hostess.
With so many occasions, you may have run out of creative ways to wrap and decorate those presents! And that's exactly why we put together this gallery of great gift wrap ideas.
Below, we have gathered more than 120 different gift wrap ideas. Some are incredibly inventive and require some craft skill, while others are here to illustrate how even simple combinations of wrapping paper and ribbon can be transformed into something beautiful when you add just a little splash of flair.
Many of these gift wrap ideas aren't just clever but are budget-friendly, too — making use of materials you might already have around the house or in your yard. You'll also see several recycled/upcycled items — like cardboard tubes, scraps of wrapping paper, paper bags, magazine pages, newspaper and more.
Also popular: Printable designs (your own creations, and using downloaded patterns), Washi tape, buttons, fabric ribbon, curling ribbon, Furoshiki-style fabric wraps, and little silk flowers.
See here how to combine these elements and more to make some gifts that really set the stage for celebrating!
