What is the purpose of a hydrostatic valve on the bottom of a pool?
1) To relieve pressure and water from underneath a pool when it is empty 2) To relieve pressure and water from underneath a full pool 3) All of the above 4) None of the above (if so what is it for?) Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
To relieve water pressure from under your pool in the event that you drain it. Eventhough your shell is concrete it can and will float like a boat if the pressure gets too great. Once your pool is full of water then the pressure in and out equalizes. |

Chances are you'll be doing some holiday shopping for at least one tech lover in your life. Thinking behind the mp3 players, digital cameras and smartphones, there's one gift that will be universally enjoyed by all and that's the Epson 730 All-In-One printer. It comes packed with some pretty amazing features like:

This holiday season our family got a chance to try this printer out first-hand and I can without a doubt say that it provides the best quality prints that I've ever experienced at home. One unique feature that I appreciate is the individual ink cartridges that can be replaced as needed rather than tossing out a "all color included" type cartridge.
The slide-out paper tray allows you to load more than one paper type including standard copy paper and photo paper for your photo printing needs. I love being able to easily print documents and 4 x 6 photos without having to load or change out the paper.
Beautiful photo prints are easily printed in less than 15 seconds each for my projects including the family vacation album, photo books for the grandparents and my personal recipe album.
The color display screen with icons gives you easy access to tools, settings and there's even a CD tray that allows you to print directly on the CD's without the use of labels.
Buy It – The Espson Artisan 730 is available in the Epson online store for $199.99 with free ground shipping.

Squirrels have dug up about 50% of my front lawn....however they have only scratched up the area where I reseeded last year. Any suggestions as to why the older more established portion remained untouched? |

I suspect you might have rototilled the new area and the squirrels found it easier digging. |

Feds, Seattle to announce police reform agreement
Federal officials will announce an agreement Friday with Seattle regarding police reforms following a damning report that found officers routinely used excessive force.
Associated Press
Federal officials will announce an agreement Friday with Seattle regarding police reforms following a damning report that found officers routinely used excessive force.
No specific details were immediately released. City and federal negotiators were involved in tense talks over the scope of a deal for months, and Justice Department lawyers had threatened to sue the city if a deal was not reached by July 31.
A news conference was scheduled Friday afternoon with Mayor Mike McGinn, Thomas Perez, the Justice Department's chief civil rights enforcer, and Seattle Police Chief John Diaz.
The Justice Department launched its civil rights investigation early last year after the fatal shooting of a homeless, Native American woodcarver and other incidents when force was used against minority suspects.
Surveillance cameras and police-cruiser videos captured officers beating civilians, including stomping on a prone Latino man who was mistakenly thought to be a robbery suspect, and an officer kicking a non-resisting black youth in a convenience store.
In December, a DOJ report found officers were too quick to reach for weapons, such as flashlights and batons, even when arresting people for minor offenses.
In all, the report found that force was used unconstitutionally one of every five times an officer resorted to it. The department failed to adequately review the use of force and lacked policies and training related to the use of force, it said.
The ACLU and other community groups called for scrutiny of the department after a Seattle officer shot and killed the woodcarver, John T. Williams, in 2010.
Video from Officer Ian Birk's patrol car showed Williams crossing the street holding a piece of wood and a small knife, and Birk exiting the vehicle to pursue him. Off-camera, Birk quickly shouted three times for Williams to drop the knife then fired five shots. The knife was found folded at the scene, but Birk later maintained Williams had threatened him. Birk resigned from the force and was not charged. A review board found the shooting unjustified.
On Tuesday an agreement was announced between federal officials and the New Orleans Police Department to make sweeping reforms. The agreement detailed strict requirements for overhauling the police department's policies and procedures for use of force, training, interrogations, searches and arrests, recruitment and supervision.
Attorney General Eric Holder described the New Orleans agreement as the most wide-ranging in the Justice Department's history. It was aimed at resolving allegations that New Orleans police officers had engaged in a pattern of discriminatory and unconstitutional activity.
The allegations against Seattle's Police Department were not as extensive or broad, but federal investigators determined Seattle officers engaged in excessive force that violated federal law and the Constitution.
In March, McGinn proposed a series of police reforms that included training for all officers on use of force standards, the development of protocol to make sure encounters don't escalate, and steps to address biased policing.
Talks between Seattle officials and the Justice Department had been hung up after city officials initially balked at some federal proposals for reform.
The Associated Press reviewed a copy of an early proposal in May, which showed the DOJ wanted the city to change policies, add training for officers and hire more sergeants to supervise patrol officers. The city was also to agree to the appointment of an outside monitor, at city expense, according to an early version of a proposed agreement.
Associated Press writer Gene Johnson contributed to this report.

Be sure to enter my coconut oil giveaway!
While it's typical for us to place our veggies and fruits in compartments on the lower shelves of the fridge, I'm going to tell you right now that if you want to increase your intake of plants- whether you want to lose weight or not!- you're going to have to rearrange that mentality of plants in containers.
Fridge Arrangements
Instead of hiding my leafy greens, celery, and carrots at the bottom of my fridge, I wash and cut them and put them into clear Tupperware containers or big bowls as soon as I get home from the grocery store. Then, they go front-and-centre on the top shelf in my fridge. Using clear containers is very important: when you can see the vegetables staring at you every time you open the fridge door, you'll be much more likely to choose veggies over anything else. I also like to keep ground flax seed and wheat germ on my top shelf to remind me that they are good sources of protein and healthy fats so that I will add them to my morning green shake.
The second shelf is where I keep my eggs, carton of egg whites, and probiotics capsules, plus whatever leftovers I have in the fridge (lately, because of the cold weather, it's been soup).
On the third bottom shelf, I have a clear drawer that contains some more vegetables (usually tomatoes, snap peas, and cucumbers), plus some virtually calorie-free yam noodles from an ethnic food store. On the shelf part, I also keep my condiments: all-natural nut butter, applesauce, homemade jam, homemade ketchup, whole grain mustard, Earth Balance, and hummus.
The two compartments directly beneath this shelf contain my apples and lemons in one and sweet potatoes in the other. There are fairly wide shelves in the door of the fridge, so I keep a couple packages of firm tofu and my bananas there. And there is usually a bottle of wine on the inside of my fridge door, too, plus maple syrup and Bragg's soy sauce.
This arrangement leads me to be far more likely to munch on veggies, make green breakfast shakes, and choose vegetables over fruits when I get hungry. Fruit is of course very healthy, but because we tend to gravitate towards the sweetness of fruits over vegetables, I like to try to make extra sure that I eat plenty of vegetables… I love fruit a huge amount so it's no problem to eat plenty of those every day! Having my condiments hidden on the bottom shelf also prevents me from reaching for them as much. I'm liable to slather nut butter or hummus on just about anything, so if it's hidden, I'm not as tempted. I also adore Earth Balance on bread, as I've mentioned before, so having the Earth Balance tucked away also removes some level of temptation!
Freezer Arrangements
Even freezers, believe it or not, can be strategically organized. My little freezer above my fridge has two shelves. I keep a package of shrimp, a bag of frozen mixed veggies, and a bag of edamame on the top shelf. The bottom shelf has bread hidden at the back, with a bag of blueberries and a container of banana chunks in front of the bread. I also keep a bowl of homemade roasted pumpkin in there (which I don't ever use; it's been around for quite a while now!), and usually a container of homemade vegetable broth.
Keeping the bread hidden is important for me: moving stuff out of the way to reach for the bread makes it a much more deliberate choice to eat the bread, rather than reaching for some mindlessly. Seeing the veggies and edamame there are also good motivators to keep eating those foods regularly.
Cupboard Arrangements
Cupboards are much different depending on your kitchen, so you'll have to adapt this general idea to however your kitchen is set up. In my kitchen, however, I do not have a pantry. Instead, I keep my food in the two cupboards above my counter/sink area. I'm not very tall, so if I want anything in the top shelf, I need to grab a stool and step up on it to reach up there. Because of that, I keep other "temptations" up there. For me, that means grains (popcorn kernels, Fruit Not Fat Galaxy Granola, puffed kamut and puffed wheat, and a huge variety of different kinds of flakes/oats), honey, agave nectar, raisins, and other dried fruits and nuts (if I have them in the house at all). The little bit of extra effort it takes to reach up there means that I have to also think twice about eating those foods, and can thus prevent myself from doing so.
I also keep baking supplies and extra ingredients (such as my lifetime supply of applesauce that I've received from companies for product reviews) up on the top shelves.
The second shelf is devoted to the "dinner-esque" grains (countless different kinds of pasta, rice, and quinoa), chocolate and vanilla protein powder, some of my favourite kinds of flour (spelt, whole wheat, whole wheat pastry, and kamut), and a container of sea salt in one cupboard, and glasses on the second shelf in the other cupboard.
The third shelf is where you'll find the daily necessities: a huge variety of canned and dried beans, a big bag of nutritional yeast flakes, calcium/magnesium powder, a couple cans of salmon/tuna, a can of coconut milk, some cans of tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes, as well as my collection of different kinds of tea. The beans, tea, and calcium/magnesium powder are really what I use every day; the other canned items just seemed to fit nicely in that area. The lower cupboard opposite to it contains plates and bowls, and a very skinny cupboard on the other side of my stove contains an impressive collection of oils and vinegars on the lower shelf (I say "impressive" because there are over a dozen bottles in there, yet I really only ever use my Misto spray canister which contains olive oil).
My spices are all in a huge unorganized drawer next to my fridge (one day I'll get a nice organizing unit for them!). I keep some of my healthy "extras", such as garlic cloves, onions, cornmeal, and extra flours (chickpea, buckwheat etc) in one of the lower cupboards. I don't tend to reach for these foods very often (barring the garlic and onions), and it's a cupboard that stays closed most of the time.
So, those are my tips: keep the beans and leafy greens within arms length, and whatever foods are your trigger foods (me: nut butter and popcorn), keep them out of reach! It can also be helpful to remove the trigger foods completely, but when they're healthy like nut butter, I tend to like to still include them in my diet. I ran out of a jar last week, however, and have not bought a new jar since: I'm going to keep nut butter out of my condo for a while until I feel as though I'm on better terms with it.
How do you keep your cupboards arranged? Do they help or hinder your healthy weight goals?

U.K. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
Improvements in the British economy in 2013, as well as favorable exchange rates between the pound sterling and the euro, drove demand for outbound leisure travel and stirred heavy competition within the industry. Low-cost carriers led growth for the year, followed by rail and traditional airlines, and mobile strategies stood front and center. Tour operators started separating themselves from online travel agencies in the hopes of becoming favored travel brands (and channels). This flurry of consumer-driven activity and growth - while welcome - may cool down soon, resulting in relatively slower growth through 2016. Ultimately, though, the long view for the U.K. remains optimistic.

German Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
Bolstered by economic prosperity and low unemployment rates, Germany held fast as Europe's largest travel market in 2013. Despite high Internet penetration and the importance of travel to German culture, online travel penetration in Germany is low compared to other European markets. German airlines faced losses in 2013, but regained ground in 2014 through cost cuts and restructuring. Hotels continue to grow steadily. Overall growth for rail was flat in 2013, but online bookings became the primary sales channel for Deutsche Bahn, the country's dominant operator. Through 2016, each of Germany's travel segments will see a shift from offline to online distribution.

Scandinavian Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
Not only did Scandinavia's travel market expand in 2013, but each segment performed well - especially low-cost carriers. Scandinavia, the smallest of the major European travel markets, has the highest online penetration, and it will retain this title through 2016 as strong smartphone penetration drives an exponential rise in travel-related mobile use. Annual growth through 2016 will be slow but steady, as the travel markets in Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all relatively mature, but certain segments and channels - low-cost carriers, online travel agencies and mobile bookings - will outpace the overall market.

Italian Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
Thanks to a gloomy economic and political environment, Italy's travel market has suffered three straight years of losses. But 2014 brought a turnaround: Travel gross bookings increased both overall and within each segment, and rail operators' investment in high-speed routes finally paid off. Despite the country's previous struggles, Italy has plenty of reasons to expect a brighter future. The country remains highly desirable as an inbound destination, and low-cost carriers across Europe have added more Italian routes to and from major cities. Italy is also home to a robust informal economy, which - along with the recent influx of visitors from emerging markets like Russia and China - is helping to cushion the travel market from low unemployment and the subsequent drop in domestic trips. In addition, Italian travelers are flocking to social media and mobile, which will give travel a needed boost through 2016.

Spanish Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
In Spain, strong inbound tourism has pulled the country's travel market out of recession and will continue to drive growth through 2016. The national economy is still struggling under the weight of extremely high unemployment and massive public debt, though, which has put a damper on domestic travel. Spain's online travel market is less developed than those in other major European markets, but it is growing rapidly, especially in mobile. Low-cost air carriers and the country's lone rail operator already depend heavily on online direct distribution, and online travel agencies serve a critical role in aggregating local, independent hotel content. Low-cost carriers will lead growth through 2016.

French Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition
The French travel market managed to eke out stability in 2013 in the face of considerable economic and political challenges, both at home and in key inbound and outbound markets. Gains made by French airlines and online travel agencies were negated by the drop in tour operator gross bookings and by stagnation in the rail and hotel segments. However, online travel is having better luck than the market as a whole, and the bulk of this growth is due to the success of online travel agencies (rather than suppliers). France's total travel market will begin to recover in 2015.

Canadian Online Travel Overview Third Edition: 2012-2016
Canadians are passionate about travel. More than three in four Canadian travelers say travel is important to their lifestyles, significantly greater than their U.S. counterparts. Canada's travel market is often – and almost always unfairly – pegged to its neighbor to the south, under the assumption that a shared border and language would result in similar market dynamics. But nothing could be further from the truth. With a landscape far more vast, but a population little more than a tenth of the U.S., Canada's travel market is home to some distinct characteristics

U.S. Online Travel Overview Fourteenth Edition
The 2008-2009 global financial crisis contributed to a conservative approach to spending for many Americans that has taken its toll on travel. However, those days are slipping further into the travel industry's rear view, and leisure travel incidence, frequency and spend all increased in 2013. At the same time, the battle for customers has intensified between travel suppliers and intermediaries, particularly as mobile gains strength as an important distribution channel. U.S. Online Travel Overview Fourteenth Edition provides sizing and analysis of the U.S. total and online travel markets by sector, segment and channel.

I have horrible self-esteem!
Kels, it sounds like your friends and I could give you all the advice in the world, but if you aren't ready to believe it, it may not stick. Sometimes it's easier to obsess out our looks than to pay attention to feelings that may be lurking inside of us (resentment from fighting with a friend, fear of a bully, anxiety about seeing someone you like). So I'd ask you to take a minute and think about why you are so focused on thinking you look ugly. What does this obsession take the place of for you (studying, talking with friends about other things)? It may be that you have a lot of practice thinking about your looks, instead of focusing on what makes you unique. So one of the best ways to boost your self-esteem is to make a list of the things you are GREAT at not what you look like and not your body size. But perhaps: playing basketball, excelling in science, listening to your friend's problems. I want you to write down at least 10 things you do really well right now. And then every day I want you to add one more item to the list. It can be as silly as "I make a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich." I just want you to continue to come up with things that make you special and unique. If you are at a loss, ask your friends or family to help you out (I am sure they have tons of things to share). In the morning, instead of spending all that time getting ready for school, I want you to read over that list at least once and remind yourself of who you are. You are not your beauty or your physical appearance. You are so much more. But it's time for Kelsey to begin believing that!

Report: LEGO: The Hobbit to Get 'There and Back Again' DLC
Folks thought it was a little strange that LEGO: The Hobbit would be released only with adventures from the first two movies, but now we know downloadable content will be released that will add the third film.
A report from Brick Fanatics concerning the London Toy Fair contained news of the DLC for the game, as well as the physical LEGO sets themselves. In an updated report on Game Informer, there's a comment from a Warner Bros. representative that said, "Definitely stay tuned for more exciting news in the near future."
So while there is no confirmation from Warner Bros. themselves, the fact that the DLC is supposed to be released around the same time as the third film's debut makes it believable that the DLC will be centered around the events of 'There and Back Again,' the final chapter in 'The Hobbit' trilogy.

Character Trait: Long Suffering
According to Webster's Dictionary the first known use of the word longsuffering was in 1535. Today the word is rarely used and mostly misunderstood. Many believe it is interchangeable with with patience. While the definitions are similar the distinction is very important. To understand the difference we need to find the biblical definition. You see it is possible to be patient and not longsuffering. We must examine this further to know how to walk in the spirit.
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; ~Col. 1:11
As you can see from the Word, patience and longsuffering have separate definitions and purposes. We need to learn the distinction if we are to understand the part of the fruit of the spirit which is longsuffering.
Longsuffering comes from the Greek word makrothumia which means slow anger or long temper. The word specifically deals with people. Paul instructs Timothy to exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. (2 Timothy 4:2) In Ephesians 4:2-3, Paul uses the word longsuffering when speaking to the Christians in Ephesus on how they are to relate to one another.
Patience comes from the Greek word hypomone which refers to dealing with circumstances. Romans 12:12 speaks of being patient in tribulation. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to run with patience the race that is set before us.
Ways to Teach Long Suffering
Longsuffering is a fruit of the spirit. Developing this fruit can only be done by walking in the spirit and allowing God to grow the work in you. Your role is to demonstrate the fruit of longsuffering to your children. Demonstrate this by your handling of those who are outside the will of God or unsaved. Continue to witness and show Christ's love through persecution and the denial held firm by an unsaved person. Teach your children the difference between longsuffering and being patient so they understand which is the fruit of the spirit. They need to understand how God is longsuffering with us in order to allow this trait to shine through them.
Scripture on Long Suffering
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. ~ Psalm 86:15
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; ~Col. 1:11
Discussion Time
1. Which is a picture of longsuffering:
a) A man waits patiently as the Lord directs him to a new job.
b) A mother is longsuffering when she lovingly deals with a child who is out of will of God.
2. How faithful in love and compassion are we to the faithless or the ones who hurt us? Determine when enough is enough for you and ask yourself when enough is enough for God.

The Lodger must protect his solitary home in the woods from horrific intruders by avoiding them until dawn. And if you think that sounds weird, wait until you play it.
In many ways, Knock-Knock is very simple. You are the Lodger, a young man of indeterminate age living alone in a very large house in the middle of a dark and foreboding forest. You've lived there your whole life, as did your father and your grandfather before him, but lately you've been having trouble sleeping, and you think that someone—or something—may be trying to get inside under cover of the nighttime darkness. In the cold, lonely hours before dawn, you arise and wander the house, checking to make sure that all is well and counting off the minutes until the sun rises.
But it's also quite a complex thing, in large part because that is literally all you know about the Lodger's predicament. He has to make it through the night, and eventually unravel the mystery of his troubles; you get to figure out how to make that happen. Knock-Knock is a game that hearkens back to a different era, when players were told how to play but not what to do, and figuring it all out without the benefit of a tutorial or walkthrough was half the fun.
Knock-Knock was originally designed for PC, and the developers have done a nice job translating its mouse-and-keyboard control setup to the iPad's touchscreen. Touch one side of the screen or the other to make the Lodger walk to the left or right, swipe up when entering a room to fix and then turn on the lights, or swipe down to turn them off; swipe up or down ladders to move between floors, and tap on the Lodger himself to hide behind the furniture. The left/right controls can be a little twitchy, as the game will occasionally fail to recognize a screen press or even send the Lodger off in the wrong direction if you happen to slide your finger a bit at an inopportune time, but overall it's easy to grasp and perfectly functional.
But knowing how to turn the lights on doesn't necessarily mean that you should. In fact, even though the App Store description of Knock-Knock says you'll need to "fix the lights and keep the cabin rooms repaired to ward off evil," I found that leaving the lights off wasn't always a bad idea. The thought actually came from the Lodger, who burbles and mumbles to himself with some frequency as he goes about his unnerving business. At one point, he said that what really mattered wasn't whether the intruders saw him, but whether he saw the intruders, and as it turned out, he had a point.
But that sort of information is of limited value, because the game, and the Lodger's house, and all the things in it, keep changing. Oddly familiar clocks will appear now and then to hasten the morning's arrival, and creepy portals to other places can carry you off to seemingly endless hallways punctuated by doors that may or may not lead you elsewhere. You'll even have to go outside from time to time and patrol the woods surrounding your house. The truth is that you'll probably never be entirely sure what any of it means anyway, or how to apply it in a useful sense; the clues are there and they're certainly worth paying attention to, but patience and a tolerance for frustration will serve you well, too.
It's an incredibly strange experience, but Knock-Knock manages to pull it off thanks to a twisted yet very effective visual style—the Lodger is a freaky-looking dude with an explosion of blood-red hair and scowling, sunken eyes, and his "guests" are straight out of a full-on psycho-horror story—and, perhaps even more importantly, a wonderful and chilling array of audio effects. The intruders sound both harmless and deeply malevolent as they prowl your home, and the childlike voice providing hints and subtle guidance is almost as bad. The effect is rounded out by banging doors, bursts of music, ambient sounds of the night and moments of deep, dead silence; this is definitely a game that's best played with headphones.

I think Knock-Knock is brilliant, not just because it's so well-produced and easy to dig into but because it forced me to think about what was happening and refused to cut me any slack until I did. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling it, and yet its sheer weirdness left me unsure whether spoilers are even possible. It's a horror game, but occasional startles aside, it's creepy, not scary; the two-dimensional layout and cartoonish visuals keep it from being truly frightening. But it sucked me in, and the more I played, the more I learned and the better equipped I was to handle it. Figuring it out? That's a different matter altogether.

Given the scale and spatial distribution of recent development (together with further development in the future) there is the potential for significant cumulative effects on the natural environment.
The scattered nature of recent development, including ribbon development along the coast and along transport corridors, sporadic development on the urban fringes, and scattered rural residential development throughout the rural and coastal areas poses challenges when managing environmental effects, particularly cumulative effects over the long term. Some of these effects are described below.
Around 20% of the district is designated as either outstanding or notable landscape in the District Plan. These landscapes are regionally and, in some instances, nationally significant. These are our iconic landscapes that distinguish the district and make it unique.
Approximately 10% of lots subdivided over the last 10 years have been in either outstanding or notable landscape areas and there will be on-going demand for residential development in these areas. Growth must be managed to ensure that these special and often vulnerable landscapes are protected from over-development.
The alternative is that over time the cumulative effects of development will overwhelm these landscapes and the very values that made them significant will be lost. The District's unique identity as a consequence diminishes and those traits that made the district special are lost forever.
The Whangarei District coastline is one of the most beautiful in the world. For this reason demand for residences and holiday homes along the coast is high. This demand will continue.
Around 10% of the district is in the coastal area yet approximately 30% of the lots subdivided over the last 10 years have been in the coastal area. There are very real dangers of development along the coast adversely affecting the natural character of the coast.
Ribbon development and sporadic development can result in over development that diminishes the very values that attracted people to the coast. Adverse effects can accumulate over time so that eventually the natural character is all but lost forever. Growth along the coast must be managed to prevent this.
The Whangarei District has a unique biodiversity, yet much of it is threatened. For example, there are 201 threatened species within the district. Of these, 120 are threatened animals, and 81 are threatened plants. In addition, 12% of the district's land area is classified as acutely threatened environment, and 13% is chronically threatened environment.
Less than 5% of the wetlands remain as a result of drainage and disturbance. Some wetland types are now close to being lost forever. Remaining wetlands are under pressure from drainage, invasion by pest plants, reclamation for urban development, grazing and trampling of littoral vegetation by stock.
Over the last 10 years 62% of lots subdivided have been in acutely or chronically threatened land environments. In addition, 20% of the lots subdivided over the last 10 years have intersected a Protected Natural Area of ecological significance.
The scattered nature of recent development has caused widespread impacts on natural habitat and biodiversity. These impacts are difficult to manage across such a dispersed area. If the loss of indigenous biodiversity and the destruction of natural habitats of indigenous flora and fauna is to be halted, a much more proactive response is necessary. Development must take account of, and protect and/or enhance biodiversity and natural habitat.
The Whangarei District possesses some highly fertile and versatile soils. These are often of volcanic origin. There are approximately 12,000 hectares of high class versatile soils within the Whangarei District. Yet these same soils are often highly desirable for residential or rural residential development.
Over the last five years around 15% of these prime soils have been subdivided. The average lot size is 2.2 hectares, effectively removing them from productive use in the future. In addition, 14% of the lots subdivided over the last 10 years were located on high class soils.
With widespread rural residential development occurring throughout the rural area these soils are being removed from productive use. Given that only 3% of the total land area of New Zealand is comprised of high class soils (those with few impediments to intensive arable use) subdividing these soils for residential or rural residential development is not a sustainable use of a highly valuable and limited natural resource.
Another consequence of widely dispersed rural residential development is the effect on rural amenity and reverse sensitivity.
Scattered residential development in the rural area often results in adverse effects on rural amenity in the sense of changing the usual characteristics of a rural landscape. An open vista becomes built-up, there are increased traffic movements, increased noise, and often an increased demand for improved infrastructure (roading, sewerage, water, etc.).
At the same time, reverse sensitivity becomes an issue. People attracted to the rural environment often complain about farming activities taking place alongside them. Noise, spray drift, animal movements, etc. become cause for complaint. Productive use of the land is further diminished.
Growth must be managed to avoid adverse effects on rural amenity and reverse sensitivity issues if it is to be sustainable.
Overall, the air quality in the Whangarei district is good. Some parts of Whangarei City have poor air quality on occasions during winter months. In winter there are periods of cold, calm weather when pollutants can build up to levels which may affect human health.
In Whangarei City domestic fires contribute up to 50% of air pollution in urban areas and up to 70% in residential areas. Transport emissions contribute up to 50% of particulates in urban areas and up to 20% in residential areas.
Marsden Point Refinery has consent to discharge pollutants to air, including sulphur dioxide. Peak concentrations at the three monitoring sites remain below the NZ ambient air quality guideline.
Water quality has been affected by development in the Whangarei district both along the coast and inland waterways.
Ribbon and sporadic development along the coast, particularly in unserviced areas, has the potential to adversely affect coastal water quality.
Harbours and estuaries are especially vulnerable to stormwater runoff and seepage from septic tanks.
Sediment input from erosion caused by forestry, farming and other earthworks can also have significant impact in some areas.
Sewage spills in Whangarei Harbour are causing concern for residents and marine farmers. After heavy rain, water quality is often not suitable for shellfish gathering or swimming due to bacterial levels. Water quality is poor in the upper harbour near the Town Basin. The upper harbour sampling sites exceed the 130 enterococci per 100ml guideline on between 20-35% of sampling occasions.
Water quality in inland waterways is affected by farming activities in the rural areas and stormwater discharge in urban areas. Both contribute to a deteriorating quality of water in streams and rivers. Some streams and rivers are unsafe for swimming.
Few freshwater lakes remain within the district. Three lakes receive some form of monitoring within Whangarei District; Lake Waro is oligotrophic and in moderate-high condition, Ruakaka is hypertrophic and the condition is unknown, and Lake Ora is of low condition.
Risks from natural hazards including land instability, flooding, coastal hazards, volcanism, earthquakes and climate change pose challenges to development.
Flooding and other weather-related hazards (landslips) are the most common natural hazards in the district followed by coastal erosion and inundation. Land instability is a threat in parts of the district.
Development must take into account the risks presented by natural hazards. The scattered nature of recent land development makes avoiding or mitigating risks from natural hazards difficult.
Over the last 10 years 24% of the lots subdivided throughout the district have been in flood susceptible areas. In addition 0.5% of the lots subdivided over the last 10 years have occurred within a coastal hazard zone.
Development, to be sustainable over the long term, particularly given the potential for climate change, must avoid or mitigate the risks presented by natural hazards.

Last week I joined almost 400 members, staff and guest speakers at the Public Policy Workshop in Alexandria, VA. This was not the first time I attended this event—nor the last. Having become the accidental advocate—(I started out in clinical dietetics, but landed in advocating for nutrition inclusion in health IT), I was very interested to hear the stories of others who spend their days trying to improve nutrition care of Americans. Mixed in with dignitaries such as Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and
Academy Public Policy Award Winner, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro were stories of many members who saw a need, became involved and were swept into the process of influencing policy and people to make a difference. It was educational, motivating and energizing—a perfectly implemented schedule of events. What added the finishing touch was a surprise to all—and reminded me of the book I read a few years ago—"There are no Accidents-Synchronicity and the Stories of our Lives", by Robert H. Hopcke.
It so happened that just as the attendees were headed to Capitol Hill to speak with their respective state legislators (a wonderful, "safety in crowds" way of easing "stage fright")—that the US Discovery was scheduled to fly overhead prior to landing for its final time at Dulles Airport. That may not sound like such a big deal but you have to see it to understand the unique look of a space shuttle attached to a 747! The Discovery was circling the Capitol on it's way to take a permanent home in the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. My e-mail over the next few days took on new meaning and intrigue as personal photos of the Discovery were shared between those who saw it first hand, pulled over in a single parking spot (which is next to impossible in our Nations Capitol) and photos "from my window" appeared. It was a spectacular finale to the PPW and a wonderful coincidence that the Discovery just happened to circle the National Mall while dietitians were in route to advocate. Or was it? My thinking was that it was no accident, but a small unforgettable gift to those who give tirelessly on behalf of others. Thank you to all who made it a memorable week.

FInally beat Challenge 6 with a time of 17:20 and got the Vanquish Platinum. It was really annoying, I rage quit for quite a while and most days I would start it up and just be too annoyed to play. It probably took 6-10 days of serious practice to perfect it. I thought it would be more satisfying, but it lost its appeal when I got to round 5 for the 40th time just to die, lol. Here's a play-by-play of the steps I did, hopefully it helps anyone.
My strategy is from a mixture of a few videos and some of my own techniques (and of course tons of practice :P)
Round 1: Boost-slide to weapon rack, switch AR for LFE Gun, use LFE Gun to wipe out spawns, wait until spawn light gets thick and immediately as you see their health bars. Use LFE gun to clear up any remaing Grogies. Switch to shotgun, run around facing backwards and mash square as he runs towards you, hit with shotgun and use boost+kick, he should suffer enough damage to fall to the ground, hit him more and boost-kick if you have enough energy, repeat as needed. At round end, pick up LFE gun ammo.
Round 2: Get behind Statue and throw an EMP at each group of bots before they spawn, then shoot at the Bogey, being sure to go into ARS to take out his beacon things when he says "Aim carefully." (This round will take practice memorizing what to do when the Bogey says certain things) Clean ip any enemies with your HMG, switch shotgun for AR before round ends.
Round 3: Hide behind destroyed craft and remove all Romanov's heads. Kill remaining Grogies and pick up ammo for AR and HMG.
Round 4: Wipe out rolling bots with LFE Gun blast, immediately glide over to the right and take out the turret bot coming up from the cliff then take cover behind the barricade in corner. Look at radar and wait for Blue Grogies to form a line or cluster then throw and EMP, hit Blue Grogies with one or two LFE shots then glide over to starting position (near stairs). Around this time a turret bot should be coming from the left, take him out. Now glide and run while kkilling any Blue Grogies remaining. Use HMG to kill the BIAs and get ammo as needed. It'll take a while but you'll slowly whittle them down. At the end of round, restock EMPs, and switch out HMG for Rocket.
Round 5: Start with Rolling bot spawn on right and wipe them out, now (this is very important), throw an EMP as you're walking towards the other rolling bots (try to aim it at the Bogeys, but it doesn't really matter), now, ignore the other bots and immediately boost towards the statue (this is also very important, DO NOT go to the stairs). Roll around to get health and energy back and take out the rolling bots as they come with LFE. Now, for the Bogeys. You're going to want to roll and boost around the whole time, making sure to constantly be moving (especially after they throw the beacons that grain your energy). Use Rockets to take out Blue Bogey as he gears up for attacks (make sure full lock-on is achieved), don't worry if you miss but try not to and be very conservative of your rockets. When you run out, pick up green upgrade cube and repeat. Right before you kill Blue Bogey, remember his position so you can pick up his rockets he drops. Now repeat these same steps on Red Bogey, staying around near the stairs and always stay opposite of Red Bogey. Whenever you have free time, switch LFE gun for Lock-on laser. Use remaning rockets then switch to Lock on Laser. Roll around a lot and use ARS mode to fire Lock on Laser. Slowly whittle away his health and be very careful.
Hope this helps and good luck. :)

7. Voila; madame was done!
This type of curriculum was universal in most cosmetology schools well into the 1970s and early 1980s. Most instructors and cosmetology school owners were simply following criteria set by the state's cosmetology board and, for many years, curricula never changed or adapted to fit the times. This was due, in part, to the fact that board members were often politically appointed and were not necessarily cosmetology instructors or school owners. The main focus of these boards was on public safety, not education.
As luck would have it, new changes were looming, and schools would have no choice but to expand in a different direction or remain dinosaurs in a career field that was on the brink of a new frontier. Fortunately, many of the schools became esthetic pioneers and implemented esthetic curricula that impacted the skin care industry positively. Curiously, the very same thing is occurring today, but with happier results as more and more schools are adopting readily to changes.
The introduction of the estheticienne
In Europe, education, beauty products, equipment and practitioners were burgeoning at a prolific rate, so North America was in perfect alignment for the introduction of the estheticienne, and two female pioneers, Edith Serei and Christine Valmy, were destined to make esthetic history in North America.
Edith Serei. Based in Canada, Edith Serei was a Hungarian-Frenchwoman who received her first formal training in Paris under Dr. Simon-Alban Peytoureau, considered one of the founding fathers of modern esthetics. In 1956, Serei opened her first beauty institute in Montreal. Realizing that there was very little formal esthetic training there, she soon opened the first of four schools in Montreal. Serei devised one of the first training programs for esthetics in North America and together with Fernand Aubrey, created a makeup method application based on psycho-morphology. In 1962, she founded the Canadian Aesthetics Committee, which was affiliated with CIDESCO.

How Do Blood-Glucose Meters Work?
A glucose meter (glucometer) tests your blood sugar level. You use the meter after you prick your finger and release a drop of blood onto a test strip. Today's glucometers use an enzyme to read the glucose level. Usually this is glucose oxidase or hexokinase. The enzyme reacts with the glucose in the drop of blood. The reaction may produce a color change. The meter translates this into a number. This is the blood glucose level. It is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).
Alternatively, some meters measure electric current generated by the enzyme in response to the glucose. Then they translate this into a number reading.
Different meters provide different information. If the meter has a memory, it will keep track of blood glucose levels. If your meter doesn't have a memory (and sometimes even if it does), you will want to keep track of your numbers yourself. Record your glucose levels. Then you can make a simple graph to show patterns. Your meter also may tell you what percent of your readings are in target range and how often they are high or low.
Most newer meters include computer software. This allows you to download the results to a computer. Then you or your doctor can chart or graph the results and print them out.

I was working on one of our customers sites yesterday when this happened.
I was in my work uniform, and had my I.D. badge clipped on. At any rate I was coming in one of the side doors after a trip to the van to get a fresh battery for my drill and a few odd tools. As I opened the inside door a lady was walking out, so I stopped and held it for her, this is where the fun begins.
At first she smiled at me and then suddenly froze with a wierd expression on her face. I stood there a second wondering why she stopped. When she finally spoke, I was startled for a second (in a semi terrified voice) "you aren't going to shoot me?!.... are you!?" For a second I thought my weapon was showing, but then I reallized she staring at my drill. I said "What? with a drill?"
and then turned it on for a second so she could hear the sound of it. At that point she emitted a shakey very high pitch very nervous laugh, and got out of there in a big hurry. My coworked and I got a big kick out of it.
What makes me a bit nervous is this isn't the first time it has happened. There have been two others, one was a bank teller another was a security guard who fortunately wised up mere seconds before tackling me. The one with the teller invold my old bright yellow Dewalt drill. The one the guard and the lady yesterday panicked over was a dark blue Bosch.
Here is a pic of a drill similar to mine.
This leaves me with 3 questions.
#1 are people really that stupid?
#2 do I really look like a stereotypical BG?
#3 what color should I paint the drill, before some nutjob pepper sprays me or worse.

I am totally in love with this cherry berry shade. It is a bright pink shade with blue undertone, and it looks lively on my nails. The finish is creamy and glossy without any grittiness. You may check the proce and other details here Revlon Nail Enamel Polish in Shade Cherry Berry 421 Review Swatch continued >>
This nail polish is very comparable to the Essie Nail Polishes I've tried, if not better.
I was astonished with the long-wearing, smooth formula. I have a baby blue color in 580 Eclectic.The color is amazing. I'm not quite sure if it is long wearing due to the fact that I applied a base/top coat (Orly Top 2 Bottom Base Coat & Top Coat All in One) and a white color as a base as well (Jordana French Manicure), but all I am positive of is that Revlon has impressed me with this polish.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love Revlon's nail polishes! It's pretty affordable you can easily get them at major supermarkets and beauty shops here in Singapore. Been trying various brands like OPI, Sephora, korean brands like Etude House and Face Shop and I must say Revlon's nail polishes are sure worth the money!
Brush size and brush shape allows for easy application and the one thing I love is that their polishes do not dry out easily. Nail color does stay nicely for about a week, usually 2 coats will do the trick! You don't get bubbles or bumps upon application.
My favourites are Bewitching (which I believe is discontinued :(, Raisin Rage and Valentine (all pretty similar shades of dark red with a plum undertone).
Get them from Watsons when they have 20% off! ;)
I'd begun to think that it was normal for nail polish to chip after a few hours, until I bought a few bottles of this stuff. I'm a nail polish addict and due to the unassuming bottles and because I'm not usually a huge fan of Revlon, had never considered buying this. It's impressive to say the least! It lasts forever... I'm currently on day 5 and barely have chips at all. I know others have mentioned the small brush - I prefer the wide, flat brushes as I have quite large nails, but otherwise this stuff is a definite win!
This is my favorite nail polish. You know why? Well, the price is great and it is available almost everywhere if not everywhere...from grocery stores to pharmacies. The size of brush is perfect for my small nails and the application is smooth and they don't stain my nails even if I use the dark colors.
I always use a base and top coat but from different brands. I own lots of nail polishes mostly from the more expensive brands and none compares to the lasting quality of this. I can wear this for about a week with only minor tip wear. I can just touch up if I want to but usually, I want to change the color after a week anyway. The other brands chip within two days even with the same base and top coats. Beats me.
Last but not least, Revlon nail polish is big 3 free, so it is not toxic if inhaled. What more could I ask for? I don't have any problems with bubbles and all I need are two coats to get the desired opacity. I plan on buying more when I go to the pharmacy or grocery store. :-)
I love the revlon nail polishes, they are quite cheap, come in great colors, last a long time and dry pretty quickly, the only reason I knocked off one lippie is because this stuff bubbles like crazy, it's not enough to put me off the polish forever but I just wish it dried a little smoother.
Their polish lasts for weeks. You need two coats but it lasts longer than when I have it professionally done. Girls try it and let me know how you compare it or recommend other products that are better.
More reviews by maisieisawesome20
I have 3 revlon nail polishes in No shrinking violet, midnight affair and emerald city. They are AMAZING. I love how skinny the brush is, others may not like it but I love it. It goes on SO well, better than any other brand I've used (including OPI) apart from China glaze which is just as good. The ones I've tried are thin, but very opaque, which is perfect for me. They are opaque after 1 coat, but I apply 2 so they last longer. I love these, I will definitely be buying more in brighter shades, as the ones I have now are quite dark. Very impressed :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is decent and absolutely stellar for the price. I got 'All Fired Up' and the quick dry top coat. The former has excellent colour pay off and it is not streaky or too runny. It glides on smoothly and is cleanly buildable. The top coat is comparable to OPI's top coat/base coat. It dries AMAZINGLY fast and makes the colours just pop and shine beautifully.
Only down side to this product is that the amazingness of it is not consistent - some colours are opaque (most are I would say) while others are not and some (although very few) are streaky although this could be a store problem as nail polish that sits on a shelf longer tend to get tackier and loose their smooth consistency.
Overall I am impressed with the product - for $5 a bottle (or a 3 for $12 at Gloss) these are so worth the price and are comparable to products that cost $15.
I've been painting my nails for years and revlon is the best brand of nail polish I've ever tried. And I've tried a lot of nail polishes. It's great by itself or when used in complex nail art. DOES NOT CHIP as quickly as any other brand, even the expensive ones. Any other brand of polish usually stays on for about 2 days before chipping, but this will last 4-5 days which is impressive considering the conditions of my nails. My nails are usually dry and brittle from my hands constantly being washed at work, causing them to peel non-stop, but for some reason THIS STUFF WORKS. Revlon nail polish is well worth a try.

Federal Reserve official: If Congress dawdles, economy will fall 3 percent
Congress must sort out a raft of fiscal issues before Jan. 1, or it will cost the US economy dearly, said New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley.
Mark Lennihan/AP
New York
If Congress waits to resolve its differences over spending and taxes until next year, it could have a very unpleasant affect on the economy.
That's the concern one of the Federal Reserve's most prominent members, William Dudley, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
In an appearance on CNBC and also in a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday, Mr. Dudley warned that Congress could damage the economy if it cannot resolve its differences. If Congress cannot reach an agreement on extending the Bush-era tax cuts as well as cutting the budget, Dudley warns that a 3 percent contraction of gross domestic product would automatically begin on January 1.
"That would be a huge shock to an economy that isn't that strong yet," he warned in an interview with CNBC's Steve Liesman.
Even the uncertainty of what Congress might do leading into year-end might be enough to cause economic damage, he warned. "Businesses might be more reluctant to hire, more reluctant to invest, because of uncertainty about how the fiscal cliff is going to be resolved," he said. "So I think it's a negative both now, in terms of uncertainty, and potentially later, because it could be resolved in a way that's not good for the economy."
Dudley's warning followed a similar storm warning on Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office which used the phrase "fiscal cliff" in describing the possibility of both taxes going up and fiscal spending coming down. The CBO went one step further saying the economy would slip into a recession in the first half of 2013 if Congress does not act.

I've been in therapy for, oh, almost four years, I think. I go once a week, for 45 minutes. I spend a lot of time talking about myself, obviously — issues I have from the past that I need to work on because they're affecting me in the present (and potentially the future), as well as the usual topics I need to vent about (work, money, family, etc.) so I don't go postal. But mostly, I talk about boys.
When I say I talk about boys, what I mean is that I talk a lot about the issues the dudes in my life are having, how they're affecting me and, thus, us, and how improvements need to be made in order for them to be better partners. I play amateur psychologist during my little 45 minute sessions each week with my doc, diagnosing each and every one of these boyfriends based on the knowledge I've gathered as a patient myself. I have evolved and healed in innumerable ways through my own treatment. I was (almost) fixed, so let me fix them.
