The heated property market appears to be bubbling beyond major hotspots in Auckland and Canterbury.
Government valuer QV's latest property value index shows nationwide values have risen 1.5 per cent over the past three months.
Valuations are now 2.6 per cent higher than the previous market peak in late 2007, although still behind on an inflation-adjusted basis.
QV research director Jonno Ingerson said the property market had a reasonably strong start to the year, with plenty of buyer enquiry and sales activity throughout January.
And he said the increasing values were no longer solely being driven by Auckland and Canterbury.
"Over the last month or two values have also begun rising again in most of the other main cities and provincial centres," he said.
"While the rate of value increase is not as fast as Auckland and Canterbury it does signal an increase in confidence across most of the country."
Auckland is the largest property market by far, and Canterbury is booming as the rebuild from the earthquakes progresses.
Ingerson said a shortage of properties for sale would continue to rein in sales volumes around the country, with the number of new listings well below the market peak.
The reduced choices for buyers meant well-presented properties were often snapped up quickly.
"The overall result is upward pressure on prices" said Ingerson.
Increasing values by region:
Up 3 per cent over the past three months
Up 10.2 per cent over the past year
Up 12.4 per cent since the previous market peak in 2007
Up 0.6 per cent over the past three months
Up 1.8 per cent over the past year
Still below the market peak
Up 2.4 per cent over the past three months
Up 7.1 per cent over the past year
Up 6.3 per cent since the previous market peak in 2007
Up 1 per cent over the past three months
Up 3.7 per cent over the past year
Still below the market peak
Up 1.1 per cent over the past three months

You were lost to me the first moment I set eyes on you. I just didn't know it.
There is a universe where we are together and there is a universe where we are not
There is a universe where I stroke your hair and give you the sun
you are happy but
I am not.
I want the light of the cool blue moon to touch my heart
to be loved for my mind and nothing more; it's okay to change your mind.
"Veni, Vidi, Vici"
Forgive me, my thought process sometimes lacks discipline. I have strange ideas. I'm a sort of armchair philosopher turned poet. This is a writer's blog, but I do not publish my finished work here. I post fragments, pieces, ideas; works in progress. I test out ideas that may or may not become more fully realized. I write flash fiction and poetry. I love generic transgression and experimental poetry. I write mostly about art and failed romance. When all else fails, I post things that inspire me.

Happy Bloomsday!
A Memory Of the Players In a Mirror at Midnight
James Joyce
They mouth love's language. Gnash
The thirteen teeth
Your lean jaws grin with. Lash
Your itch and quailing, nude greed of the flesh.
Love's breath in you is stale, worded or sung,
As sour as cat's breath,
Harsh of tongue.
This grey that stares
Lies not, stark skin and bone.
Leave greasy lips their kissing. None
Will choose her what you see to mouth upon.
Dire hunger holds his hour.
Pluck forth your heart, saltblood, a fruit of tears:
Pluck and devour!

"I know the purity of pure despair"
In a Dark Time
By Theodore Roethke
In a dark time, the eye begins to see,
I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;
I hear my echo in the echoing wood—
A lord of nature weeping to a tree.
I live between the heron and the wren,
Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.
What's madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!
I know the purity of pure despair,
My shadow pinned against a sweating wall.
That place among the rocks—is it a cave,
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.
A steady storm of correspondences!
A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon,
And in broad day the midnight come again!
A man goes far to find out what he is—
Death of the self in a long, tearless night,
All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.
Dark, dark my light, and darker my desire.
My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly,
Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?
A fallen man, I climb out of my fear.
The mind enters itself, and God the mind,
And one is One, free in the tearing wind.

Word of the Day
entropy, n.
Etymology: < Greek τροπή transformation (lit. 'turning'), after the analogy of energy n.Physics.
1. The name given to one of the quantitative elements which determine the thermodynamic condition of a portion of matter. Also transf. and fig. In Clausius' sense, the entropy of a system is the measure of the unavailability of its thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work. A portion of matter at uniform temperature retains its entropy unchanged so long as no heat passes to or from it, but if it receives a quantity of heat without change of temperature, the entropy is increased by an amount equal to the ratio of the mechanical equivalent of the quantity of heat to the absolute measure of the temperature on the thermodynamic scale. The entropy of a system = the sum of the entropies of its parts, and is always increased by any transport of heat within the system: hence 'the entropy of the universe tends to a maximum' (Clausius). The term was first used in English by Prof. Tait (see quot. 1868), who however proposed to use it in a sense exactly opposite to that of Clausius. In this he was followed (with an additional misunderstanding: see quot. 1875) by Maxwell and others; but subsequently Tait and Maxwell reverted to the original definition, which is now generally accepted.
1868 Tait Sketch Thermodynamics 29 We shall..use the excellent term Entropy in the opposite sense to that in which Clausius has employed it—viz., so that the Entropy of the Universe tends to zero.
1875 J. C. Maxwell Theory of Heat (ed. 4) 189 (note) , In former editions of this book the meaning of the term Entropy as introduced by Clausius was erroneously stated to be that part of the energy which cannot be converted into work. The book then proceeded to use the term as equivalent to the available energy...In this edition I have endeavoured to use Entropy according to its original definition by Clausius.
1885 H. W. Watson & S. H. Burbury Math. Theory Electr. & Magn. I. 245 As in the working of a heat engine, the entropy of the system must be diminished by the process, that is, there must be equalisation of temperature.
1925 A. Strachey & J. Strachey tr. Freud Coll. Papers III. v. 599 In considering the conversion of psychical energy no less than of physical, we must make use of the concept of an entropy, which opposes the undoing of what has already occurred.
1933 W. E. Orchard From Faith to Faith xi. 280 The deduction which one of our greatest physicist astronomers draws from the second law of thermodynamics: namely, that since there must be a maximum entropy, there must have been once its maximum opposite.
1955 Sci. Amer. May 124/2 Certain combinations of balls yield a greater change in entropy than others. Those combinations in which entropy change reaches maximum value lead to solutions.
1955 Sci. Amer. June 64/1 This equilibrium state..is the thermodynamic condition of maximum entropy—the most disordered state, in which the least amount of energy is available for useful work.
1965 Financial Times 11 Aug. Moralising by those whose industrial entropy is an accepted fact of life is neither likely to persuade the workers nor assist the trade unions in the task of trying to meet the nation's difficulties.
a. Communication Theory. A measure of the average information rate of a message or language; esp. the quantity −Σpi log pi (where the pi are the probabilities of occurrence of the symbols of which the message is composed), which represents the average information rate per symbol.
1948 Bell Syst. Techn. Jrnl. 27 396 Consider a discrete source of the finite state type... There is an entropy Hi for each state. The entropy of the source will be defined as the average of these Hi weighted in accordance with the probability of occurrence of the states in question... This is the entropy of the source per symbol of text.
1953 S. Goldman Information Theory 329 The amount of language information (i.e., entropy) in the sequence is..a measure of the choice that was available when the sequence was selected.
1953 D. A. Bell Stat. Methods Electr. Engin. x. 145 Since entropy increases as the arrangement of a system becomes less distinguishable from other possible arrangements, while the value of a pattern for conveying information depends on its uniqueness, the information capacity of a signal is the negative of its entropy.
1960 D. Middleton Introd. Stat. Communication Theory vi. 301 H(X) is called the (communication) entropy of the X ensemble, since..it is the direct mathematical analogue of the more familiar entropy measure of statistical mechanics.
1964 Language 40 210 The basic probability concept, 'entropy', and its quantum, the 'bit', are now part of the metalanguage of linguistics.
b. Math. In wider use: any quantity having properties analogous to those of the physical quantity; esp. the quantity −Σxi log xi of a distribution {x1, x2,…}.
1951 Jrnl. Royal Statist. Soc. B. 13 60 The idea of selective entropy provides us with a new and important concept in the analytical theory of probability.
1961 Proc. Cambr. Philos. Soc. (Math. & Physical Sci.) 57 839 The analogue of Boltzmann's H-theorem is not a statement about the monotonicity of the entropy of the chains..but a statement about the 'entropy' of the frequency distribution (s1,..sn).
1968 P. A. P. Moran Introd. Probability Theory i. 50 Since −x log x is a convex function the entropy of a finite set of events is a maximum when their probabilities are equal.

Still I Rise...
Lady Lazarus
I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it——
A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
My right foot
A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen.
Peel off the napkin
O my enemy.
Do I terrify?——
The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.
Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me
And I a smiling woman.
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.
This is Number Three.
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.
What a million filaments.
The peanut-crunching crowd
Shoves in to see
Them unwrap me hand and foot——
The big strip tease.
Gentlemen, ladies
These are my hands
My knees.
I may be skin and bone,
Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.
The first time it happened I was ten.
It was an accident.
The second time I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.
I rocked shut
As a seashell.
They had to call and call
And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I've a call.
It's easy enough to do it in a cell.
It's easy enough to do it and stay put.
It's the theatrical
Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute
Amused shout:
'A miracle!'
That knocks me out.
There is a charge
For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart——
It really goes.
And there is a charge, a very large charge
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood
Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.
So, so, Herr Doktor.
So, Herr Enemy.
I am your opus,
I am your valuable,
The pure gold baby
That melts to a shriek.
I turn and burn.
Do not think I underestimate your great concern.
Ash, ash—
You poke and stir.
Flesh, bone, there is nothing there——
A cake of soap,
A wedding ring,
A gold filling.
Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

Walter Thieme, assistant professor and director of the DMC Regional Fire Academy with the College's Department of Public Safety Education, controlled the fires while the Fire Science students demonstrated how to extinguish those fires. Instructors with the Academy watched for safety violations and whether or not students extinguished correctly vehicle, dumpster, perforated tank and spill fires that were part of their skills test. "This event is designed to show students' required training and skills, along with the level of responsibility the College's Fire Science Program takes in training our future firefighters," says Thieme.

Just wanted to file a brief trip report - pretty much info only, no attempt to entertain. We went for a long weekend over Labor Day, staying five nights. I did alot of research on this board, Tripadvisor and Yelp - here are some notes about our trip.
We landed about 6:30 - took the lightrail LINK to the Doubletree Arctic Hotel. The lightrail was a bargain and very efficient - the Arctic is half a block from the Pioneer Station. We really liked the Arctic hotel, and not just the cookies! The location was very convenient - easy to walk to Pioneer Square and ferry / watertaxi terminal, also in "ride free zone" for going to Pike Place Market Westlake Center / shopping district. The hotel staff was excellent - very helpful, they provied us with a vase for our flowers from the market, and we liked the ambience of the restored building.
Our daytime activities were: Coffee Walk with Seattle by Foot - that was fairly pleasant but if I had wanted to spend a few dollars more I probably would have liked a gourmet tour better. We took the watertaxi over to West Seattle and rented bikes - that was a great day. We stopped by the Klondike Gold Rush museum one morning - FREE (our tax dollars at work) - that was well worth the hour or so spent there. We did a full day tour - Wineries and Waterfalls - I learned from that I am not the wine tasting tour type. And I had hoped the waterfall would be a nice nature outing - it was packed with people on very limited walking trails! Our last day we took the bus up to Queen Anne Hill, walked around the shops and along Highland Ave. - that was a lovely day.
lunch at Lowell's in the Market - great view; overpriced, mediocre food.
Steelhead Diner - GREAT clam chowder, the rest of the meal did not impress - maybe we did not make good choices.
Bamboo Hut at the beach in West Seattle - decent food with a lovely view
McCormick's and Scmick's? - got a price fixed three course - excellent gazpacho, stuffed shrimp, very nice
Il Terrazzo Carmine - full of well-heeled locals, lovely restaurant, good food but the staff a bit pretentious (or maybe they don't like tourists)
Elliott's - don't usually go for restaurants in the dead center of the tourist zone but it was good. Had some nice salmon and fried fish - the "spicey" clam and corn chowder, isn't.
We really enjoyed our long week-end in Seattle - could easily go again and see some more of the sights - they offer a pass for about $100 that includes many attractions. Also would like to combine Seattle with a trip to Victoria / Vancouver - or maybe a Alaska cruise!
