Orange County Watersheds: A TMDL Project to Protect Aquatic Life and Recreational Uses
Adams Bayou
Counties: Orange, Jasper, Newton
Parameters: Bacteria, dissolved oxygen, pH
River Basin: Sabine River
Segment: 0508, 0508A, 0508B, 0508C, 0511, 0511A, 0511B, 0511C, 0511E

Background and Goals
Adams Bayou and Cow Bayou are located in southeast Texas. Their combined watersheds cover almost 250 square miles in the coastal area of the Sabine River Basin. The water flow in the bayous is intermittent, and periods of no flow are very common.
Water quality testing found that bacteria levels in the bayous and their tributaries may pose a health risk for swimmers. Low concentrations of dissolved oxygen in some areas of the creek indicate that conditions are not optimal for aquatic life.
The goals of the project are to:
- reduce bacteria levels in the bayous to ensure that recreational use is safe, and
- maintain concentrations of dissolved oxygen and pH in the bayous at levels that will sustain aquatic life.
The Sabine River Authority, the Texas Water Resources Institute, and other stakeholders are working with the TCEQ to develop a plan for improving water quality in the project watersheds.
Comment on Proposed Implementation Plan
The public is invited to comment on the proposed implementation plan for indicator bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and pH. Community stakeholders worked together to create this implementation plan.
You may submit your comments in writing, or orally at a public meeting.
Submit Comments in Writing
Written comments must be received at the TCEQ no later than midnight on March 9, 2015, and should reference the Implementation
Plan for Seventeen Total Maximum Daily Loads for Bacteria, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH in Adams Bayou, Cow Bayou, and Their Tributaries.

Adopted TMDLs
The commission adopted these TMDLs on June 13, 2007. The EPA approved the TMDLs on August 28, 2007, at which time they became part of the state's Water Quality Management Plan.
- Seventeen Total Maximum Daily Loads for Bacteria, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH in Adams Bayou, Cow Bayou, and Their Tributaries, Segments 0508, 0508A, 0508B, 0508C, 0511, 0511A, 0511B, 0511C, and 0511E.
- Response to Public Comment on the TMDLs for Adams and Cow Bayous and Tributaries
Updates to TMDLs
From time to time, it is necessary to revise TMDLs to account for changing conditions in the watershed, such as new or amended permits, or urban growth, or to correct oversights in the original TMDL report. Revisions to the load allocations in TMDLs are made via the state's WQMP, which is updated quarterly.
The WQMP provides projected effluent limits for use in planning and permitting activities under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES). The TCEQ reviews all applications for new and amended permits for conformance with applicable portions of the WQMP, including adopted TMDLs.
Revisions to the TMDLs are documented in the approved WQMP updates listed below.
- July 2008 , pages 7-9
Learn more about WQMP updates and about opportunities to comment on revisions to them.
Get Involved
The Sabine River Authority, in partnership with the TCEQ, is coordinating public involvement in development of the TMDL implementation plan. Public meetings about the plan are open to everyone. Records of meetings about I-Plan development are available on the Sabine River Authority website.
TMDL Development
A named-member stakeholder group called the Orange County TMDL Stakeholder Advisory Group advised the TCEQ on development of the TMDLs for this project. Records of the group membership and meetings are available below in PDF.
Reports and Other Documents
Project documents are available in PDF.

About 2.2 million bean bag chairs are being recalled following the deaths of two children who suffocated after they crawled inside the chairs. Other recalled products include convertible cribs with a defect that can create a hazardous gap.
Here's a more detailed look:
DETAILS: Ace Bayou bean bag chairs with two zippers that can be unzipped and opened, including one of the exterior cover and other directly underneath that zipper. The recalled chairs with zippers that open were sold in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and fabrics. They include round or L-shaped, vinyl or fabric, and are filled with polystyrene foam beads. They were sold in colors including purple, violet, blue, red, pink, yellow, Kelly green, black, port, navy, lime, royal blue, turquoise, tangerine and multi-color.

"ACE BAYOU CORP" is printed on a tag sewn into the bean bag chair's cover seam. They were made in China and sold at Bon-Ton, Meijer, Pamida, School Specialty, Wayfair and Walmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Meijer.com and Walmart.com before July 2013.
WHY: The zippers on the bean bag chairs can be opened by children who can then crawl inside, get trapped and suffocate or choke on the bean bag chair's foam beads.
INCIDENTS: A 13-year old boy from McKinney, Texas died and a 3-year-old girl from Lexington, Kentucky died after suffocating from lack of air and inhaling the chair's foam beads. Both children were found inside the chairs.

Can anyone tell me if a player is put on IR does he get his full salary or does he get an injury settlement which is something less than the full salary. Reason I ask is a debate has arisen concerning Bruschi and how the Pats paid him his full salary when he went on IR after the stroke. I didn't think they had to pay him his full salary but did anyway. any help would be appreciated.
If a player is on the "Injuried Reserved" list, he gets his full salary. If a player is injured and the team wishes to cut him, then they reach an "Injury settlement". I believe that you can not cut anyone while they are on the IR, so that is where the "injury settlement" thing comes along. It is used to protect the players from getting cut just for being injuried. The Bruschi situation was different. The Patriots could have placed Bruschi on the "non-football related injury list" and not paid him his full salary. Of course, they would have been a huge public outcry if they did that. I'm not sure what happens to the "rights" to the player if you put him on the NFRIL.
Unless the player has a split contract, he gets his full salary. Late round picks and undrafted FA usually get split salaries in their first season or two. The split pays them about half the rate of their salary for the season if they end up on IR. They get their full salary if they are on the active roster. This effects only salary, and not other types of compensation like signing and roster bonus. Veterans don't usually get split contracts, unless they don't have much bargaining power and are forced to take them. Usually that is only with players who don't have much value and are getting a shot or players with an injury history. Must veterans don't have split contracts, so they get their full salary if placed on IR.
Players often have a split contract that reduces the salary for IR; also, the player won't earn incentives.
There is a difference between football and non-football related injuries. The stroke was classified as non-football related I believe. This is from ASK Vic on the Jaguars website. "The non-football injury list is for players who've sustained non-football-related injuries, which means their teams are not required to pay their salaries. A player who has sustained a non-football-related injury can not be placed on the injured reserve list." He then goes on to say that the two lists [IR and Non-football related Injury] are distinct and determined by when and how the injury was sustained. While on IR a team is reposnible for the salary but this is not the case for players on the non-football injury list; the team does not have to pay the salary in the latter case but often still chooses to.
This brings up a pet peeve. Players when placed on the IR are lost for the "balance of the season". If the player is on a poor team, he returns the following spring traing camp. If his team is good, and gets to the playoffs and the "second season", he still can't play even if he has returned to health, and has been out for the "balance of the [regular] season". I know that the league does not want teams stockpiling talent by putting players on 15 day DL or 30 day DLs. But the penalty should be the same for both good and bad teams. In this case good teams are penalized and lose an injured player for more games than a poor team does. Besides its unfair for a player to get injured, if and his team goes to the Superbowl for the only time in his career, he can't participate, even if he has returned to health.

Whether a college student is taking Principles of Finance as a an undergraduate to fulfill their basic degree requirements or as a prerequisite to higher levels of learning within a College of Business, it is the foundation for a general understanding within the banking, investments, and insurance industries. Finance is used by individuals (personal finance), by governments (public finance), by businesses (corporate finance), as well as by a wide variety of organizations including schools and non-profit organizations. Each type of entity incorporates and utilizes the concepts of Finance on a regular basis: financial planning, financial assets, financial instruments, etc.
Some of the items a student can expect to be discussed in a beginning level finance course are: financing business, consumers, and government activity; stocks, bonds, real estate, and financial markets; risk; insurance; inflation; cash and income management; capital accumulation and appreciation. Students continuing to pursue a degree in Finance may take the following courses: Corporate Finance, Financial Management, Investments Strategies, Fund Management, Financial Markets, Survey of Business Finance, International Finance, and more.
Not only are students of finance challenged with the amount of new concepts to learn, most of the courses require a strong background in mathematics. Any student not well prepared for these courses is urged to seek assistance immediately. Once a student begins to fall behind in a finance class, it is hard to catch-up without some extra help. It is important to gain the help of a professional within the field. Advanced Learners will match a student with a tutor who has the exact experience and knowledge the student needs.
We do not believe in students teaching students. When you are in need of a college level professional to help you grasp a difficult subject, you will receive a highly qualified and credentialed tutor from our list of professional college tutors. Every tutor we hire holds a minimum of a bachelor's degree, but most of our college level tutors hold masters and PhD's. We are confident that when we offer you a college level tutor that you will be impressed with their experience as well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The 2000s are often described as a "mash-up" decade,[1] where trends saw the fusion of previous styles, global and ethnic clothing, as well as the fashions of numerous music-based subcultures, especially indie pop. Many in the industry have noted the lack of divide between the 1990s and early-2000s due to the continued popularity of minimalist fashion among young people of both sexes.[2] For the most part, the mid-late 2000s did not have one particular style but recycled vintage clothing styles from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1980s.
Contents |
Despite the numerous and mixed fashion trends of the 2000s, items of clothing which were predominant or popular throughout the decade include Ugg boots,[3] High-tops, hoodies, and skinny jeans.[4] Globalization also influenced the decade's clothing trends, with the fusion of fashions from around the world being popular.[5] Furthermore, eco-friendly and ethical clothing, such as recycled fashions and fake fur, were prominent in the decade.[6]
Main article: Boho-chic
Youth fashion was strongly influenced by many music-based subcultures such as Emo, Indie kids, scene kids,[66] Psychobilly, Preppy, Skater, Goth, Nu-Metal (known as Moshers in the UK),[67] ravers and Hip-Hop,[68] including the British chav, US gangsta rapper and Mexican Cholo styles of the early 2000s.[69]

A friend recently gave me a few bags of homegrown hops; about 3 oz of Chinook, 12 oz of Columbus, and 6.5 oz of Cascade. I'm planning to do an partial mash BIAB beer with as many of these hops as possible. Bear in mind that these were free, so using hops 'efficiently' is far from my primary concern. The following is what I came up with: OG 1.067 IBU ~80?? (Hard to say what the alpha acid % of home grown hops are, so this is a wild-@ss guess) ABV ~7% Fermentables: Pale Ale Malt 5.5 lb Caramel 20 0.5 lb Caramel 80 0.25 lb Liquid malt extract 4 lb Dry Malt Extract 1.5 lb Honey 1 lb (I may make some invert sugar instead, I forgot to buy corn sugar for this purpose...) Yeast: Wyeast American ale II Hops: (All whole leaf) Mash Hops: Columbus, Chinook, Cascade -1 oz each Boil hops: 0.75 oz Columbus @ 60mins ~20 IBU 0.35 oz ea. Columbus, Cascade, Chinook @ 20 mins ~18 IBU 0.50 oz ea. Columbus, Cascade, Chinook @ 10 mins ~16 IBU 1.50 oz ea. Columbus, Cascade, Chinook @ 5 mins ~27 IBU 2.00 oz ea. Columbus, Cascade, and 0.25 oz Chinook @ 0 mins ~? IBU Dry hops: 2 oz. Columbus, 1 oz. Cascade Hop Totals: 8.1 oz. Columbus 6.4 oz. Cascade 3.00 oz. Chinook 17.5 oz total! The plan is to do my BIAB mash as normal, remove the grain bag and clean it out for use as huge hop bag in the boil. That way I can remove the hop cones after the boil. I worry that I won't have room for all these hops with my current equipment. My boil kettle is only 5 gallons. If I do have room, will I have any wort left at the end of the boil, or will the hops have sucked it all up? I have chinook and cascade in pellet form on hand, so I could swap some of those out if needed. Can anybody with experience on brewing with whole hops give me some pointers?
Not to knock your friend growing hops, but unless it was grown in the pacific northwest, or a few other choice regions, it will not be what you expect. They will grow, but it will not have the same flavor and aroma as expected from professionally grown crops. Think of comparing growing marijuana in your back yard to medical grade. Theres just no comparison. That being said, theyre fun to use anyway. You will proboably need to use as much as you can, to make up for lack of usual amounts of essential oils that contribute to flavor and aroma. Unfortunately, the more you use, the more (beer) you lose, because whole leaf hops act like a sponge and with hold more beer than pelleted hops typically do.
I do not subscribe to threads, so if you have a question pm me.
I brewed this the other day, the brew day went well. I used the BIAB bag as an over-sized hop bag during the boil. I let it steep in the wort for about 5 mins after flame out, then removed the bag, and used a sanitized length of paracord to squeeze as much wort out of the hops as possible, gaining back 2 qts or so of wort. To anyone looking to use hops in this quantity, I definitely recommend an over-sized hop bag, as it helps keep all that vegetable matter out of the fermenter. It's now fermenting away at 63 F. Hopefully it comes out well!
So all of the cottage-industry hop yards opening across New York and New England are growing an inferior product compared to the mega farms of the Pacific Northwest? Like all things that one tends to on their own, the end result is often far better than what can commercially be produced. A tomato from the garden will outpace a grocery store tomato for a reason. In a home garden the plant gets everything it WANTS, not just what it NEEDS like in a commercial setting. So Nanobru, why not stop talking out of your ass?
On Deck: Saison "Jardin d'été" (3rd Gen 3711, Wild bugs, Pale ale malt, wheat, Willamette dry hop) Primary: Saison "Vomissure de Grenouille" (2nd Gen 3711 from dregs, Pale Ale malt, Crystals and Willamettes) Secondary: BM45/Spontaneous Bugs Experiment (down to 1.004, and tastes awesome), contemplating what fruit to add.
I don't think Nanobau is talking out of his ass. I think he's referring to the terroir of those areas as being unique and thus imparting a unique quality to the hops. French vintners claim the same thing and it's the reason that land on one side of a road is worth twice the land on the other. Still, I don't agree that this is the only viable hop producing region or that hops grown at home are bad. The same Cabernet grape grown in California as grown in Bordeaux is at least as good as the other even though they are different. Also, a tomato gown in my southern yard won't taste the same as the same variety tomato grown in some yankee's yard but that doesn't mean yankee tomatoes don't taste like tomatoes.
Yea, I don't agree with Nanobru's comments and I feel the tone of his post was rude but I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. There is something to the specific region where any crop is grown and that price of land will impart certain qualities to the hop. The pacific northwest is certainly a remarkable hop growing area but that's not to say your backyard is any less remarkable. The only way to know for sure is to grow some how and see how they turn out in a few years. The North Carolina Appalachians aren't what you would think of when you think of hop growing regions but there's at least one company who believes they can produce amazing hops here. We'll know in a few years if they are right. My point is, Chinook grown in Florida and Chinook grown in Oregon is still Chinook. The Oregon version may be more piney and the Florida version more grapefruit but thats not to say the Florida version is inferior, just different.

The Honorable Michael Oxley, Chairman House Financial Services Committee U.S. House of Representatives 2129 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Oxley:
On behalf of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and the 83 million credit union members nationwide, I am writing in strong support of reinstating the Federal Reserve Board's annual retail bank fee surveys in legislation either to allow banks to pay interest on business checking accounts or to allow the Federal Reserve to pay interest on sterile reserves. As you know, this survey language was a part of last year's legislation and was dropped upon introduction this year.
CUNA has a long-standing belief that consumers need more, not less, information about the costs associated with financial transactions. In fact, CUNA economists use information garnered from the surveys to assist in the development of fee comparison data. Given the changes brought about by the passage of landmark financial services reform during the 106th Congress, it would be especially unfortunate at this time to reduce public knowledge of fees.
In addition, last year's provision included for the first time credit union fees, the result of which is that the fee reports would more broadly represent the consumer marketplace and provide consumers with a truer comparison.
Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.
Sincerely, Daniel A. Mica President & CEO Credit Union National Association Washington, DC

J.S. Bach: Duets for Two Cellos
- Instrument:
- Level:
J.S. Bach: Duets for Two Cellos composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). For Cello. Baroque. Beginning-Intermediate. E-book. 52 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.21439EB).
ISBN 1619110849. Baroque.
J. S. Bach's two-part keyboard pieces form a significant body of musical literature, but only occasionally have they been arranged for strings. This carefully transcribed collection of cello duets and its two companion volumes - Duets for Two Violins (MB # 21437) and Duets for Two Violas (MB #21438) - bring many additions, taken from Bach's suites, preludes, and inventions, to the string player's repertoire. Intermediate and advanced instrumentalists will delight in the musical complexity, contrapuntal dialogue, and variety of moods in these pieces. Since bowing and fingering preferences vary greatly among string players, editorial marks have been kept to a minimum. These arrangements are an attractive, valuable addition to string ensemble work.

At LWP we are committed to bringing each of our vibrant communities to life. We understand that first homebuyers may need a little help along the way and that's why we've compiled a simple and comprehensive land and home buyers guide to help you learn more about the process of building.
When you consider the many different lenders and financial products on offer, government grants and fees and other associated costs, it's easy to get confused.

Opened late last year, many of the 28 new display homes take their cues from the strong sense of character and natural beauty of the Avon Valley.
The Avon Valley itself offers a range of architectural styles, from the Australian homestead to New Norcia's Spanish Revival designs. Many were introduced from Europe and adapted to withstand the challenges of the Australian environment – a factor that's just as important today.
A high level of detailing – think pitched roofs, local Toodyay stone, weatherboards and face brick in warm, autumn shades – can be spotted throughout the display village.
Light-coloured render, simple forms, painted brickwork, vertically proportioned windows and wide verandas also feature in many of the display homes.
Megan Buckland, Project Manager for the Ellenbrook Town Centre, shares her thoughts on why people have been drawn to the fantastic new designs on display.
A growing number of homebuilders are being drawn to a sense of tradition and substance.
Traditional elements are being combined with contemporary styling, creating elevations that are diverse and interesting, which is really exciting to see.
Many homebuyers are also keen to personalise their home's exterior with details such as double veranda posts, window hoods, corbelling, mouldings and rendered plinths.
At Annie's Landing, each builder has created an individual home, demonstrating how homebuyers can add as much or as little detail as they like while still meeting the design guidelines we set for Annie's Landing.
Each builder has also illustrated how the building guidelines can be interpreted depending on whether the homebuyer is looking for something very classic or something more contemporary.
Before choosing a style for your new home, why not take a drive to the Annie's Landing display village off Banrock Drive in Ellenbrook and let its natural charm inspire you. For display village opening times and further information, visit www.ellenbrook.com.au or call the LWP sales team on 9297 9999.

Building your first home can be a huge and daunting task.
First of all, there is such a choice of developments and block sizes and styles to choose from and that is before you have even had the chance to speak to various financial institutions to find out what mortgage is right for you.
For many first home buyers this process leaves them breaking out in cold sweats, which is why we have developed a series of short how-to videos to demystify the process of buying your first block and building your first home. Login

Thoughts from a resident of Trinity, Kendal Goulay
Picture yourself relaxing in your alfresco on a glorious Perth afternoon. The sea breeze has come in, you've put your feet up and are taking a moment to admire your newly constructed home.
The journey from choosing the right homesite in the right community, to building and meeting the neighbours takes lots of planning and a little patience.
As a master-planned community, LWP's Trinity at Alkimos has set a benchmark for quality, sustainable living in Perth's northern corridor while offering a relaxed, easy-going coastal lifestyle.
And there aren't many people around who love Trinity more than Kendal Gourlay. She lives at Trinity with her husband Ross, children Christopher and Rachel and their dog, Harvey.
Kendal is a member of the Trinity Community Reference Group and embodies everything that is great about the sense of community at Trinity.
In this blog, we asked Kendal about her journey to becoming a Trinity resident, and lessons learned along the way.
First things first… choose a homesite
Whether you are planning to raise a family, build your first home, or find a sound investment, there's a lot to consider when buying land.
It's best to start with a wish list of your preferred suburbs, lot size and shape, home size and design etc.
Developer's land sales offices and websites offer loads of information, such as LWP's First Homebuyers Online Guides, to get you started.
Kendal and Ross purchased a 450sqm block in December 2011.
"We chose Trinity as it was good value for money and we liked its 'village' theme," she said.
"We do wish that we had purchased a slightly bigger lot so we could have accommodated a larger garden but we loved that Trinity was a quiet, friendly neighbourhood."
Help is a question away…
As this was the first time Kendal and Ross had built, they found the process confusing at times and learnt that there was a lot to gain from asking questions.
"For example, we come from the UK where soak wells are a standard inclusion but we learned that we had to put in our own soak wells here," she said.
"We also learned that we could have brought our house forward slightly, giving us more space in the garden. Our neighbour did this but it was not offered as an option to us, so we didn't realise it could be done.
"Another thing to remember is that if you choose a corner lot, you are responsible for the upkeep of the verge area."
Choose the builder that's right for you
After choosing their homesite, Kendal and Ross built a 4x2 with study and theatre room through Celebration Homes.
New developments often have display villages and it's a good idea to visit as many of these as possible (before you meet with your builder) to get a feel for the size and style of home that suits your needs.
The display village at Trinity features 21 homes from Perth's leading home builders, with eight of the homes built on 'cottage' homesites and the remainder on traditional lots.
Kendal said Celebration Homes had been "first-class from start to finish". "The rooms are a good size, which is one of the reasons we chose this design," she added.
"Construction started at the end of February/beginning of March and we were in ahead of schedule!"
She did however advise home builders to check their home thoroughly before handover and speak up if they noticed any defects:
"We were lucky not to have much of a snagging list but on final inspection we noticed that the main bathroom tiles on the decorative strip were a different shade from each other," she said. "This was easily and immediately fixed by the tiler."
Love where you live
Kendal has seen some significant growth and change at Trinity since her home was finished two years ago.
"Access to the new Butler Train Station is nearly complete and we now have several play parks for little kids," she said.
"I love the local markets throughout the year and am also looking forward to visiting the planned local shops and cafe. A village cafe where residents can meet for a chat and a coffee is so important."
The passionate Trinity resident says she enjoys living in a community where "everyone is willing to help each other out":
"I love my neighbours here at Trinity and really love the community feel it has!"

As land developers, we often talk about our 'vision' for new communities. We try to paint a picture for future residents to help them imagine what it will be like to live in these new developments in one year's time, five years' time – even a decade or more later.
A key priority for LWP Property Group is to remain true to the original vision for a new maste-rplanned community as it takes shape over many years – in the case of Ellenbrook, over two decades.
So how have we done? Have we delivered on our promises? How do future residents in some of our newer communities know that what the artists' impressions show now will be what is on the ground in coming months and years?
Well, they could take a look at Ellenbrook for starters. They could refer back to the 'The Ellenbrook Concept', a document that was published in 1993 – complete with an introduction from then Premier of Western Australia Richard Court.
Here's what that document says about 'The Vision" for Ellenbrook:
Ellenbrook will be a modern community designed to provide housing and associated education, recreation, retail and community facilities for up to 35,000 residents. It will offer a wide choice of accommodation and lifestyle in an attractive environment designed to enhance the natural features of the site. While signifying a return to the more traditional values of community living, Ellenbrook will also pursue a leadership role in the more efficient delivery of infrastructure and in the adoption of improved environmental management techniques.
Over 20 years later, let's review how we've done.
Education: Ellenbrook has four Government primary schools and one Government Secondary College. It also has three private primary schools and two private secondary schools. But before these were built – when there were just 50 residents in Ellenbrook – LWP developed Schools in Houses and Schools in Offices – an innovative way of providing primary school facilities before the community was large enough to support a Government primary school.
Recreation & community facilities: from Ellenbrook Arts – a not for profit organization that hosts art exhibitions in Ellenbrook Gallery – to kilometres of walk and cycle trails connecting and through parks, a full size sports oval, plus cafes, restaurants and a tavern, Ellenbrook is a thriving community with something for everyone.
Retail: In addition to small local shops throughout Ellenbrook, and bulky goods and hardware stores on the Promenade, The Shops at Ellenbrook in the Town Centre has 80 retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Australia Post, Dick Smith, Big W, Dymocks and BWS.
Choice of accommodation: from the traditional quarter acre block to low maintenance 'lock and leave' cottage lots, from apartment living to country homesites, Ellenbrook has a vibrant mix of homes. This means that not only is there always an affordable option for first home buyers, there are also options to suit growing families, retired couples and young professionals. One of the best testaments to this is the number of people who move within Ellenbrook's villages – sometimes as many as 25% of purchasers in a year are currently living in Ellenbrook.
Environment: Everywhere throughout Ellenbrook there is evidence of the landscape that was here long before the development. From natural enhanced bushland, native wetlands, landscaped waterwise parks and stunning treed streetscapes, the natural environment is at the heart of Ellenbrook's design. Malvern Springs was one of the first land developments in Perth to be awarded Urban Development Institute of Australia certification for EnviroDevelopment.
Still need convincing? Take a look of some of these 'then and now' photographs and artists impressions of Ellenbrook. More than any words, they tell the story of what we envisioned for Ellenbrook, and what we delivered. We think you'll agree, Ellenbrook is 'all grown up'!

The 'Great Australian Dream' of owning a home with a patch of grass Dad can mow on the weekend, friendly neighbours who pop over for a cuppa and local kids riding up and down the streets on their bikes in relative safety, is a dream hard to come by these days.
The Glades at Byford, however, is not only an exception to this rule but is forging its own legacy as a connected master-planned community and one where Australian families can 'live the dream'.
Mandi Parker, a resident at The Glades and Market Coordinator for the development, is incredibly passionate about her community and we interviewed her as part of our latest blog. Mandi and her young family previously lived in Serpentine, a short distance away from The Glades, until it was clear that there was something lacking. "Having young children and a husband who worked away, I found that I really was missing a community support network," Mandi said. "So my husband and I did some research into Ellenbrook, LWP's first development and were really impressed with the community they created there; so soon after we bought our homesite in The Glades. "LWP's vision for their master-planned communities is more than a sales pitch; they live and breathe it. They don't just build houses and walk away, they invest a lot of time and money creating neighbourhoods like the ones we grew up in where everyone knows everyone." Mandi and her husband were among the first to build in the development and today know every single person in the street. Mandi loves the friendliness of The Glades, and the feeling that there is a community of families looking out for one another's kids. "We had a 'few' friends and neighbours over for dinner a few weeks ago, and when I counted I discovered I had 27 kids in my house, playing, eating, riding bikes, while the parents caught up! It's a real neighbourhood, where we all look out for each other.
"At Christmas time we blocked off the street and had a street party; a real highlight of the year, everyone looks forward to it." When asked what has changed in the time she has lived in The Glades, Mandi was quick to respond: "Growth! When we moved in there were five houses, now there are over 400. It's phenomenal. Our community is growing and growing, with people chasing that one in a million community feel." Mandi has also been instrumental in the success of The Glades Arts & Produce Market. "When I was first approached to take over coordinating the market it was a small, Saturday afternoon market of about 30 stalls and I could see so much potential in making it a real community institution. "LWP is very special because they always look to the community first when trying to fill a job or role within the development. Phil Cuttone from LWP found out I had previously worked in event management and approached me to take on the role." Thanks to Mandi's team and LWP's support, The Glades Arts & Produce Market now showcases between 80 and 100 stalls and attracts thousands of people from the local community and surrounding area. "The Market really provides a fun environment where residents can catch up, and at the same time people interested in living in The Glades can enjoy an insight into what it's like to live here," Mandi said. "The Market has also been an effective avenue for fundraising for our local community groups such as the local primary school." Mandi's market model has also been adopted in LWP's other developments Trinity at Alkimos and Ellenbrook; with the markets at Ellenbrook counted among the biggest outdoor market in Western Australia. So what now for The Glades Arts & Produce Market? "Now the purpose-built market site in Gallant Turn has been completed, we are enjoying settling into our fantastic new location. My aim is to maintain the quality and continue to grow the popularity of the markets - it's already become a fixture in the community calendar," Mandi said. "LWP has created something amazing with The Glades. They don't just talk about creating communities; they go above and beyond and really deliver. For that, and on behalf of my family and the many families in my community, I am very thankful."

You hear and read a lot of slogans from land developers about creating great places to live. And you hear how their project includes everything you need, and incredibly, it'll all be right at your doorstep. But is that even possible? Well, yes and no.
The reality is that there are great places to live in this world, but there are also some not-so-great places to live. At LWP, we create great places, but what makes a place great?
A gentleman by the name of William H Whyte asked himself that question in the late 1960's whilst working at the New York City Planning Commission. To answer his question he spent many years studying and watching people using their city. His work inspired the likes of Jane Jacobs, another famous "people watcher", and the emergence of "new urbanism" in the United States. New urbanism is an urban planning philosophy which embraced Whyte's findings that it is people who make places great.
Most people understand that America is a car-centric environment. Following the end of World War II, America became known for its interstate freeway construction programme, the explosion in car ownership, and the ensuing urban sprawl. Suburbs sprouted up everywhere to cater for the new dream of suburban living and car dependency; a trend which continued for 40 years. Australia's urban development followed a similar pattern to that of the United States.
New urbanism (or place-making) on the other hand, adopted the Whyte and Jacobs beliefs that great places are where people gather to socialise and interact, and that places should be designed for people, not cars. Through his years of behavioural observations, Whyte famously stated: "What attracts people most, it would appear, is other people". That's what we believe at LWP.
The development of Huntlee will take context from "place-making" and "new urbanism" to create a New Town that will be a place for people. Exhaustive work been undertaken to ensure Huntlee is a fully considered community with a focus on education, employment and recreation opportunities for its residents. And the town centre will provide important opportunities for social and cultural interactions.
So yes, you can have great places with everything at your doorstep. But no, not everyone can do this. The reasons are relatively simple: scale, experience, and commitment.
In order to create a new great place, there needs to be scale. It's difficult to create a great place if what's being developed is a few blocks of land in a paddock, or there's no town centre, or you can't connect your communities with cultural, social, and employment opportunities. Huntlee has the scale to achieve all of this.
You also need experience. Building a whole town is a complex endeavour of social, environmental, and physical constructs. To be successful, it is not something that can be slapped together and hope for the best. Developments that fail, fail because they focus on chopping up land as quickly and cheaply as possible, rather than building the social and cultural layers that make a thriving community. Huntlee is being managed by LWP Property Group; a company that specialises in large-scale communities and with a proven track record at creating great places to live, work, and play.
And probably most importantly, you need a consistent vision and a steadfast commitment to it. You can't compromise your vision for a quick buck, or change your plans to suit a few short-term flutters in the market, or just because you had a bad year. Creating a great place requires you to be truthful to your commitments and to deliver the vision you've promised to everyone who has believed in you.
So if you think the latest land release near you is just a collection of marketing slogans, take a closer look at whether they can offer the ingredients for creating a truly great place.

We are now well into the second month of 2014 and it is an opportunity to reflect on what is in store for homebuyers over the coming year.
Sound Fundamentals The WA property market continues to be supported by sound fundamentals, such as population growth, low interest rates and relative housing affordability. Most economists are predicting interest rates to remain at around current levels until at least late 2014.
Also, the increase in the WA Government's grant to $10,000 for first homebuyers who build, coupled with stamp duty concessions, has encouraged a solid first homebuyer market.
Already at our developments in WA and NSW, we have seen the all of our products continuing to move quickly throughout January and February.
Increased demand for compact housing options Throughout 2014 we anticipate that homesites of less than 500 square metres will continue grow in popularity, due to affordability and changing lifestyle patterns. Additionally, purchasers are becoming increasingly savvy about the benefits of having smaller backyards without the need to compromise on house size.
Tight supply to continue until mid year The current tight supply situation we are experiencing is likely to continue until the middle of the year, when we expect the market will ease.
In order to keep up with demand, many developers have had to release lots five to six months ahead of titles being issued; where we would normally pre-sell no more than three months prior to title issue, we have relaxed our policy to meet market demand.
This is likely to continue to be the case until the second half of the year when developers will be able to 'catch up' and the availability of titled stock will increase.
Moderation and Stabilisation Housing prices, apart from the top end, may experience further increases in the first half of 2014. Prices are likely to reach their peak in this particular cycle by mid year when demand is expected to moderate.
From this time, the main focus for homebuyers will again be value for money and quality. Homesites in master-planned communities continue to be sought after as they provide a broad range of homesite sizes located close to essential facilities and services.
The challenge for developers With this expected moderation in demand by mid 2014, more normal market conditions will return following a strong 2013.
Accordingly, the challenge for developers will again be to excite buyers to move, by producing quality, fresh, value for money propositions.

Sabrina Hahn is a whole lot of hort with heart – master gardener, qualified horticulturalist and storyteller.
An obsessive gardener, she started landscaping at the age of four: stripping flowers and foliage from her grandmother's yard, creating magical miniature gardens all in her Nan's baking trays. She now has a regular slot in the West Australian Newspaper as well as on ABC Radio and we are excited to have her as our guest blogger this month.
There's still a long road of summer in front of us, and we need to give the garden its best possible chance of surviving the next few months. The biggest factor to survival is getting the water to the plant roots and keeping it there.
This requires a good quality wetting agent, an efficient watering system, soil amendments and a course, thick mulch. You may need to apply wetting agent three or four times a year, particularly in summer. Soils will eventually become hydrophobic as they dry out.
Native gardens: just because you have a native garden does not mean that it can be neglected. Remember all plants are grown in a nursery where they are watered twice a day, so the transition into our gardens requires some care until the plants becomes big enough to fend for itself.
Dig down 10cm into the garden bed and if it is bone dry apply a wetting agent. You will need to water, water, water it in for it to be effective. This is better done by hand with the jet on the hose. If your soil is sandy you may need to repeat this process a few times. Once this is done add a layer of compost and replace the mulch. Do not granular fertilise natives at this time of the year, new growth will be burnt by the intense heat.
The veggie garden will need some shade cloth over it to get the best out of your plants. Use a 30% shade cloth, any higher than that the veggies don't get enough light to develop fruit or veg. Top beds up with poo, compost and apply a pea hay, lucerne or straw mulch. Water in the mornings, but on days over 38 degrees you may need to give them another water in the late afternoon.

Healthy Eating: If We Know What to Do, Why Don't We Do It?
by Jason Machowsky in Healthy Tips, Small Steps, June 29, 2012
How many times do you hear people say, "I need to eat healthier" or, "I would eat better but . . . (insert excuse or justification here, such as schedule, demands, kids, being tired, etc.)? You can have the best intentions in the world, but in the end, the only way to actually get results and make a difference in health, fitness or weight is by taking action.
Taking action can be challenging; it usually means leaving your comfort zone and making a change to your current habits. So before taking action on any new change: a new role at work, going back to school, working out more or eating better, there are three important questions you should ask yourself to know if you are headed down the right path:
1. Why do I want to take action and make these changes? Eating healthier, whether it be eating more fruits and vegetables or eating less fried food or soda, is a commitment you make to yourself. And the changes you make must be sustained in order to get results and have a real impact on your life. But after a long, stressful day of work, what's going to be the inspiration that makes you choose a yogurt and a piece of fruit instead of a brownie or bag of chips? What's going to keep you from having that extra drink when you're out with friends? Whatever answers those questions is your motivation to change. Consider why you want to make these changes, and what you are changing for. Is it to have more self-confidence in the way you look? Is it to serve as a role model for your kids? These are big motivators that keep you focused when times are tough. Figure out your true motivations for change and taking action will become inevitable!
2. What kinds of changes can I make? The changes you make to your eating habits don't have to be big, just consistent. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by so many options (where to eat, what to cook, what to avoid, etc.) that we end up making none. Take three minutes and write down every single way you could improve your eating habits, no matter how big or small. You could cook at home one more night per week. You could replace your regular lunch with a healthy salad twice a week. You could have one less drink per week. You could replace dessert one night per week with fresh fruit.
3. How can I most effectively take action given my time, schedule, commitments, preferences, etc? After deciding why you want to make healthy adjustments to your eating habits and what changes you want to make, your attention should shift to determining which changes will give you the best chance of success. The changes you choose to focus on do not necessarily have to be dramatic; consistent, small adjustments can yield big results. 50 calories saved each day (equal to about 3 teaspoons of sugar or half a tablespoon of butter) saves you about five pounds a year. Beyond that, small successes build our confidence to take on more and potentially greater challenges. Consider your current schedule, commitments and preferences when choosing the best option. Imagine whether or not each change could fit easily into your life. For example, if you intend to have an extra fruit or vegetable every day, at what meal would you have it? Or would you have it as a snack? Where would you get it from? Would you prepare it at home or just buy it on the run at a local grocery store? Once you choose what change to work on, create a plan to execute it by answering these types of questions. By answering these questions up front, you will be giving yourself a step-by-step guide to taking action on your idea.
Tell Us: What healthy eating habit do you intend to start doing, why do you want to do it and how are you going to do it? Then comment again with an update once you've started doing it!

Its a lifestyle change. So its always expected to be hard. But thanks to the internet, its easier now to look for "how-to's" that would greatly help those who want to change their eating habits. But do it slowly, have a goal. Mine was almost a year before I cut out on high sodium fries.

Bush recasting the war as not just about Iraq
His recent speeches cite Iran and Al Qaeda as reasons the US must not pull out.
It was hardly happenstance that President Bush chose to visit Iraq's Anbar Province on Monday – and not Baghdad – to set the stage for crucial congressional deliberations on US Iraq policy.
To start, Anbar – a vast Sunni-dominated territory virtually written off a year ago as lost to extremist insurgents – represents the clearest accomplishment of the administration's strategy of having additional US troops work more closely with local populations.
But Mr. Bush's choice of Anbar also serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of a US pullout: Would Anbar be left open to the return of Al Qaeda-associated insurgents?
In fact, the emphasis on the province buttresses an argument that Bush has stressed recently: that US troops must stay in Iraq not just for the sake of Iraqis, but for US national security. (However, Bush did offer on Monday the possibility of future troop reductions, based on continued progress toward better security.)
Anbar, more so than Baghdad, is associated with the US war on terror and the fight against Al Qaeda. And in talking about Iraq, Bush has repeatedly cited Al Qaeda – and Iraq's troublesome neighbor Iran – as key reasons for staying the course.
"It's become the heart of the defense of why we should stay in Iraq for an indefinite period of time – that the consequences of withdrawal would be victory for one or both of those two" adversaries, says Rand Beers, director of the National Security Network, a Washington think tank consisting of mostly Democratic security and defense-policy specialists.
Bush's recent speeches
In recent speeches, Bush has lauded US military cooperation with Sunni tribal leaders in Anbar. Leaving now would reopen the door to Al Qaeda influences and domination, he says.
