    Running advice : few long runs or many short runs per week?

    depends on your goals which really aren't stated, just endurance - I say eat big and sprint 3x/week - 50m distances, walk back to the start as your rest period, and redo - 8-10 sprints per session. maybe a 400m distance once/fortnight. think about it who do you want to look like: Steve...

    Paving

    Hi, I've paved a fair bit on various ppor's - I only learn't lately that the trick is to pay someone to do it - it's easier on the back!! the method of paving is slightly different depending on if the surface is just for walking (ie a patio or path) vs driving on - ie a carport or driveway...

    Hi – regarding comparisons the 1930’s Great Depression, is anyone taking into account investor’s change in technologies? It took yrs to regain the losses of the GD, however at the time it might have taken a few days to weeks for an individual to research a stock, place an order, transfer the...

    is this a bouncing cat?

    Hi, in my opinion the share market is real dangerous right now. This could be a bear market rally - and thus a real Bull trap. I'd suggest getting some alternate views of whats happening - i read Daily Reckoning, A Rude Awakening and Money Morning daily. So far from these readings, I've held...

    Green cooling?

    Hi, I was amazed when I researched solar panels, and found there is no storage capacity, and you get no power in blackouts. Unless you go down the route of having a big battery system and isolation switch from the grid. Expensive. Sort of makes me think all this ‘green awareness’ stuff and the...

    Green cooling?

    thanks for the tips, I'd not heard of soffit vents, looks very applicable for my situation. Likewise double glazing on the western side looks like a good (but perhaps expensive) option. at least it's 'sposed to be cooler this week!

    Green cooling?

    Hi all I’m moving into a new ppor – the house is just over 50yrs old, double brick construction, Nth/Sth orientation, tile roof with big roof space with older (maybe 15yrs) insulation. In the recent heatwave here in Adelaide, it’s gotten pretty warm inside (as we do some minor reno work to...

    Religious beliefs

    I think a few people have missed the point - does anyone know of any tradies who work on a sunday? Lets assume the OP lined up helpers to remove the timber pergola - and those 'helpers' include a paid carpeter and sparkie (for the lighting, ceiling fan, weatherproof powerpoints, etc) How many...

    De-tox diets

    i would agree that for the most part detox diets are pretty much marketing to sell various pills and potions. However what hasn't been discussed here are the various toxins that are inherant in our daily spheres - ie pcp's in plastic-ware, phytoestrogens in any soy products, or remenant...

    Hahaha!

    What I don't get - religionists say "what came before the big bang?" as if thats a refutation of some pretty decent science, and than in the same breath say "god is, was and always will be - s/he is outside time so you can't say something had to exist to create him/her/it" Have a read of New...

    Jokes

    Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
