Year of the TIGER

Chinese New Year (Chinese: 春節, 春节, Chūnjíe; 農曆新年, 农历新年, Nónglì Xīnnián; or 過年, 过年, Guònián), also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year’s Day, celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, i.e. the day of the second new moon after the day on which the winter solstice occurs, unless there is an intercalary eleventh or twelfth month in the lead-up to the New Year—in such a case, the New Year falls on the day of the third new moon after the solstice. (The next time this occurs is in 2033.) The Chinese New Year period ends with the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the month.

The small mining town of Rosebery on Tasmania’s west coast is divided over the plans by some residents to sue the local mine owner. Ten residents say they have poisoned by the mine’s heavy metals

Rosebery Tasmania Vs Minmetals

Rosebery owes its existence to the Minmetals minning company, which produces zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold, but 10 residents say they have been poisoned by the mine’s heavy metals. The mine is the town’s main employer and claims that it is poisoning locals has angered a much bigger group of Rosebery residents.

FROM CRIKEY:http://www.crikey.com.au/2009/07/10/is-rosebery-a-health-hazard/

In November last year, two women from the mining town of Rosebery in the hills of western Tasmania hit local media headlines with a call for an investigation into the presence of heavy metals in the water around their homes.

ROSEBERY MAP 7470


View Larger Map

They got their investigation, but now they have rejected the findings of a Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services toxicology investigation into the presence of heavy metals in their town and health problems experienced by locals, saying the DHHS failed to conduct adequate testing of humans and ground water in their research.

Metal poisoning issues vs Jobs

Locals say they have suffered a range of symptoms including dizziness and hair loss from heavy metals that have seeped onto their properties.

Rosebery tasmania Metal poisining

Local woman Jo Powell was so concerned at the claims she set up an online website called Rosebery is not Contaminated.

FELICITY OGILVIE: Four-hundred people have already joined her Facebook page. But Jo Powell says some of the comments posted have been so offensive she’s had to remove them.

Testing for the presence of heavy metals and their effect on residents is not unusual in Australia. In 2007, residents of the West Australian town of Esperance were poisoned by lead carbonate dust being transported from a mine in Wiluna to the Port of Esperance for bulk loading.

Unlike Rosebery, in Esperance ground water was not an issue, but soil, marine sediment and air testing was undertaken by the West Australian government as well as isotopic fingerprinting linking the lead found in humans to that of the Wiluna mine.

WA has had a scorcher of a heat wave for the past three days . we have had 40 degrees plus for the last three days  and   the hot days  are supposed to continue. Patrick Ward from the Bureau of Meteorology says the last time Perth recorded three consecutive days over 40 degrees was in March 2007.

heat wave Hot weather australia wa perthThe 40* Plus heatwave In Perth

A heat wave is prolonged period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity. There is no universal definition of a heat wave; the term is relative to the usual weather in the area. Severe heat waves have caused catastrophic crop failures, thousands of deaths from hyperthermia, and widespread power outages due to increased use of air conditioning.

 

Heatwaves are caused by extremely hot and humid days with very little air movement to help cool things down.

Changes in  Behaviour due to hot weather of heatwaves

There are other changes in our behaviour that arise from the heat.

"When you are dehydrated, your body is under stress. It changes your mood and you choose stereotypical solutions rather than rational solutions. You get into the ‘child state’. You whine and moan. There is anger, irritation, poor judgement and fatigue.

As our cities and towns get hotter and hotter during heatwave conditions, people and animals have difficulty in keeping cool. Heatwaves are probably the most under-rated weather hazard in Australia, essentially because they are viewed as a ‘passive’ hazard in contrast to the more widely studied catastrophic hazards such as tropical cyclones and earthquakes. According to Coates (1996), heatwaves kill more people than any other natural hazard experienced in Australia. In a study on the consequences of hheat wave Hot weather australia wa pertheatwaves, Andrews (1994) reported that in the period between 1803 and 1992, at least 4287 people died as a direct result of heatwaves. This was almost twice the number of fatalities attributed to either tropical cyclones or floods over much the same time frame

 

Extract from The West Australian (21 February, 1995) ,

Perth’s heatwave caused record power consumption and overstretched the ambulance services.There were many more assaults and brawls than normal in the early hours of Sunday when Perth sweltered through the hottest February night for ten years.The real stinker was back in 1933 when we copped four days over 40, 44.3, 44.6. 42.3 and then a cool change with 40.1

How to keep cool in a heatwave ?

Heatwave ’s not only makes the local temperature  rise  but also makes  many peoples temperature rise, due to the uneasiness and hot weather , people can get stressed and frustrated and easily get into arguments and fights.heat wave Hot weather australia wa perth

Drink lots of water and keep a bottle of cool water handy

If you got a pool or  bathtub .. now is the time to indulge  and make the most of it ( but make sure slip slop!! )

Instead of using your gas /stove to cook up lunch, try having salads, cold sandwiches, or cold cereals for lunch.  Leave cooking on the stove for later in the evening when it may not be as hot.

Hang heavy insulating blankets or something similar in the windows that the sun shines through daily. The more sun you can block from shining directly into your home the cooler it will be.

A cool shower can help your entire body cool down.

 

heat wave Hot weather australia wa perth

Wear Light Colors: Darker colors will absorb the sun’s rays and be warmer than light or white clothing, which reflects light and heat. Wear natural summer clothing. Wear natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen) rather than polyester, rayon, or other artificial fibers (with the possible exception of performance fabrics)

Close your blinds and curtains during the day to block the sun. For even better protection, get aluminized blinds (or use removable sheets of cardboard cut to size and covered in foil.)

Have cool summer drinks that will keep you cool

Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will promote dehydration

Cool as a cucumber! Slice a thin piece of cold cucumber (from the fridge or a cooler) and stick it in the middle of your forehead! This feels fantastic on a hot day or when stuck in a hot car, and works almost immediately!

Finally, use common sense. If the heat is intolerable, stay indoors when you can and avoid activities in direct sunlight or on hot asphalt surfaces. Pay special attention to the elderly, infants, and anyone with a chronic illness, as they may dehydrate easily and be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses

Yes Perth restaurants  will give the Sydney  and Melbourne  restaurants a run for their money anytime.They are better most of the time or then as good as some  of the finer Sydney restaurants. Only difference is in Perth you pay more for your food  compared to Sydney and  Melbourne.It is more expensive.

Dining at zafferanos

But when you dine at zafferanos , you would not mind paying more than  what you pay for the same food in Sydney or Qld or Melbourne, because the food is just delicious and exquisite , the ambience real 7 star ( but still got that relaxing feeling) and the restaurant decor just right. The wait staff here are impeccably professional and untrusive. Unlike many restaurants in Perth, they know how to deliver silver service here. This is a restaurant to keep for a very special occasion ,unless off course you can afford it on a regular basis .

zafferano restaurant at perth wa crawley

Me and my better half decided to have the evening out in Perth  at a good restaurant to celebrate a occasion. we had already been to city beach  restaurant  Oceanus and  Kings park restaurant Frasers earlier   and C restaurant ( the revolving restaurant with 360 degree city views ) in perth and definitely put them together in this category if not a better category. The cuisine is mainly Italian and seafood.

The sea views are really spectacular and also calming at the same time at zafferanos ,make sure you get  a good seat  right next to the water

zafferanos is fine dining restaurant and the service and  food definitely reflect that. The food was laid out on the plate perfectly and looked really exquisite  like on those master chef tv shows , and the taste definitely  left me attacking the food right up to the last morsel , without a spec of food left behind. The view at this restaurant is to die for!!! Simply stunning panorama of the river and the city

Food at Zafferanos

Side dish :

Insalata di Campo

Garden leaves with cucumber, tomato, pine nuts and carrot dressed with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon.- $13

 

Service at Zafferanos

We recieved very professional service and quick service too , but  i suppose it could be because this day the restaurant  was not exceptionally busy. we would like to come here on a  Friday or Saturday night too see if it makes a difference to the service and food . Its definitely  on my must re-visit list.

Parking can be a problem as the parking area is very small, so often you have to park across the very busy Mount’s Bay Road and walk back via the overpass.

Right bang in the middle of my Christmas  & new year break  My internet connection gets shaped because i have run out of  my internet alotted quota , now we all know what a pain that can be when you are used to a fast broadband  connection. I was really pissed Until i got a email from Amnet saying that  i could buy a small additional allowance package to  get my usual speed back up until it resets  a couple of days later from next billing cycle. I grabbed the offer  considering i would be more at home during this Christmas break and would use the internet more and also considering it was just $10.

PC Authority Amnet Highly Commended

I also  like to go with the underdog in the industry, often  the leaders in the pack being too big   loose sight of their customers  and start to provide shoddy service. Amnet is  still a growing company  and i still get a tech guy on the phone quite quick who speaks to me quite friendly and is willing to go the extra bit to solve my problem on that rare occasion that i need to call them.

Additional Allowance Purchase package

I found this package quite useful in these  times of need , here is what amnet has to say about their package

“At Amnet we understand that your usage can fluctuate, like when the kids are on holiday, that’s why we designed the Additional Allowance Purchase tool. Using the Additional Allowance Purchase tool you can now purchase an additional amount of download allowance should you exceed your quota.”

Standard Package – Additional Allowance Purchase

Price $10.00
Peak Basic 1GB
Off-Peak Basic 1.5GB
Peak Peering 2GB
Off-Peak Peering 3GB

I am a pretty pleased customer of am net  and definitely recommend their services. In fact they have started this new refer a friend service , you can get $50  off you first invoice and  I will get the same of my bill as well. So if you are planning to get  a new  internet service provider or just change from current one, send me a email at jeromejf@gmail.com immediately and i will send you the $50  Discount invitation.

Just to give you an idea of their current plans  here is a snapshot of the plan that i am using

My Current Amnet Broadband  Plan Details

FROM AMNET WEBSITE

for the last three years running Amnet has been ranked amongst the top 5 ISPs in the country. Voted number 5 in 2007, number 3 in 2008 and this year we were voted number 2 and awarded the highly commended ranking in PC Authority Magazine’s Best Tech Awards. We were given a six star rating for Customer Support, Service Reliability and Value For Money. This placed Amnet ahead of many other providers like Internode, iiNet, AAPT, TPG, Bigpond, Optus and many more.

From telstra website

Payment Administration Fee

“We have listened to customer feedback and have made a decision to stop charging the $2.20 administration fee for bill payments made through the mail or in person at a Telstra Shop or Australia Post. See the details of this announcement.

We are currently implementing system changes to remove the $2.20 administration fee and will provide current customers with refunds in the coming months for any $2.20 administration fees they paid to Telstra since the new charge was introduced on 14 September 2009.

You do not need to call Telstra about this, as a refund for any $2.20 administration fees you have paid will be automatically applied as a credit to your current customer account with Telstra.”

 

Mr Thodey said Telstra would honour its commitment to a special offer of up to $50 Cash Back through to the end of December 2009 on selected Telstra Shop product purchases for customers who continue to sign up for direct debit payment options.

As the leader in australian   telecom sector makes a better move towards customer service , just like Nab did as well removing unpopular  fees   customers were getting charged, we hope  that  Other companies like optus  Also follow suit instead of charging customers $2.20 for them to pay their own mobile bill . I was  very pissed off when i noticed this on my bill recently.

Here is some  comments on this on another forum :

Optus to charge $2.20 for each paper bill??

..where the hell did they pull that out from?..
From 1st May each paper bill will hav addtional $2.20 surchage.
Will be considerng another phone & ISP company now..its BS.
Anyone other company doing this? or this is common practise now?

———————

But I’ll bet your bill is not reduced by the amount of the new charge. It’s just another way to get more money out of you while claiming it’s saving you money. Did the letter let out a waft of poo smell when you opened it?
Regards,
g@z.

———————

who wins? certainly not the customer.
If they want online bills they should offer a $2.20 discount to switch to it not charge you for paper bills.

 

-Death

—————————-

How about the thousands of people who don’t / cant use the internet?
I found signing up to get the paper bills a bit of a pain. That myaccount system for optus is annoying! It was down for a week when I first tried signing up too.

 

-Plastik8

——————

I can’t believe the number of people defending a blatant price gouge. Is anyone trying to say that it actually costs Optus $2.20 to print a paper bill?
Or is it rather that arbitrary and unjust charges are somehow acceptable?
Sure most people have an option. But should they be forced to do it?
If Optus implemented a policy where they would add $50 to your bill for holding your phone in your right hand then the solution is easy – use your left hand! But how stupid to suggest this as being reasonable.
I have had the pleasure of working for optus, and I have questioned similar decisions in the past, and have been assured it was about revenue raising and there was no justification for the cost.
What a bizarre, bizarre world we live in that people are content with that – not just complacent about it but will condescendingly defend it!
Just… wow.

CONSUMER advocates say that new fees for people who prefer to receive their phone bills by mail will hurt low-income earners who do not have access to the internet.

From May 1, Optus will charge mobile phone customers up to $2.20 a month for receiving their bills in the post. The company imposed the fee for new mobile and landline customers in January.

Vodafone already charges $2.20 for paper bills but says it will waive the fee for anyone unable to access the internet.

"The telcos should follow the lead of some of the energy and utility providers who, if you agree to pay your bills online or by direct debit, give you a discount," Christopher Zinn, a spokesman for consumer association Choice, said.

He said not everyone had access to the internet and low-income earners could be affected. "It could be pensioners, migrants, it could be those who want to have a paper bill," he said.

 

Unhappy with Optus paper bill fee? Break contract 4 free!

Up and down they go . Though both of them are getting  even media attention “Tiger Airways” & “Tiger Woods”

For both of them   its a downwards spiral  while tiger woods is getting a beating literally by his wife  and also by the hounding media  as would be expected  , tiger airways  is also getting  beaten up by the media for  their lax and thrifty ways ( according to some).

The count  for Tigers “transgressions” has already  rocketed upto Lady no 10 and who knows how many more to come. Truly  all his favorite golf holes  will be lost for a while  while he  collects his balls.

The Tiger Woods saga continues with claims he has been linked to a relationship with an adult movie star.
Holly Sampson, 36, is an alleged seventh mistress of Woods but The New York Post reports the number of women linked to the billionaire golf champion may be as high as nine.

Tiger woods Tiger airways
Sampson, whose list of movies includes My First Sex Teacher, reportedly said through a lawyer she had no comment to make on the matter.

Apparently  A passenger on tiger airways got charged double the fare  for travelling along with the  Guardian dog.

Here is a excerpt from the tiger airways page ( http://www.tigerairways.com/sg/en/baggage.php) reagrding travelling with animals.

The dog must be harnessed and seated on an absorbent mat during flight.

Your fare will also cover your service dog. The window seat adjacent to the vision/hearing impaired passenger will be blocked for the service dog.

We can only accommodate two service dogs per flight in Australia.

We cannot accommodate service dogs on flights to or from Asian destinations.

Also – >

Mobility Aids and Wheelchairs

Passengers’ own wheelchairs will be carried free of charge, in addition to their normal baggage allowance, but must be checked in.

Wheelchairs that are powered by sealed, non-spillable batteries are accepted for carriage. Wheelchairs with un-sealed, spillable batteries will not be accepted.
All powered wheelchairs must be checked through and comply with relevant battery connection/disconnection requirements.

You must advise us whether you are able to board using steps or whether you require a wheelchair from check-in to the aircraft.

For Australia, we are able to provide a manual wheelchair to convey you from check-in to the aircraft, at which point a lifting device will be available, if previously requested (in the absence of an aero-bridge). Our crew can then assist in transferring you to an aisle wheelchair and from an aisle wheelchair to your seat. At your destination we will similarly transfer you from your seat and supply a lifting device and manual wheelchair for disembarkation, if previously arranged. Your wheelchair will then be delivered to you at the baggage collection point.

Our crew’s ability to assist is subject to compliance with mandated Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in Australia as to the maximum permissible weight of a passenger for lifting (130kgs) and the mobility status of the passenger (eg a full lift of a passenger compared to passengers able to partially lift themselves, and whether assistance is available from a carer, if applicable).

For Tiger Singapore flights, there will be a charge for assistance in respect of wheelchair and other services required from check in to embarkation if previously requested. There may be local unavailability of a lifting device or weight restrictions applicable to the use of devices and the ability of our crew to provide direct lifting assistance. Fees may be applicable for some devices.

We also have an upper torso harness available on our Australian flights, subject to usage restrictions, and prior booking.
