how to fix a leaking tap A leaking tap is a common plumbing occurrence in most households.There are several causes of a leaking tap but most are simple to fix. It’s an easy step-by-step job that can save you money and wasted water.

WASHERS There are three washers that could be causing the tap to drip and may need replacing; the o-ring, the body washer and the jumper valve (fig.1). These come in standard sizes, but to be sure that your replacement is correct take the worn washer into Bunnings.

REPLACING THE WASHER 1. Firstly make sure to turn off your water main in the house. Your water main will either be out on the street or in your front yard if you live in a house.

If you live in a flat or townhouse the mains tap will probably be inside the bathroom or laundry.

2. Open the tap to release any water left in the pipe.

3. Place the plug in the basin to prevent any tap parts from disappearing into the drain.

4. Remove the tap’s cover with a screwdriver on the handle to expose the screw. The screw is most likely under the hot or cold sign. Some taps will have screws positioned on the side.

5. Undo the screw and remove the handle.

6. If the tap is shrouded with a metal

cover, unscrew by hand or use a wrench Make sure to use a cloth over the cover to protect the chrome from scratching.

7. Use a spanner or wrench to unscrew the tap bonnet (Fig 2). Completely take out the headgear, you should now see the large body washer, the o-ring and the jumper valve.

8. The jumper valve will just fall out.

9. Replace the body washer, the o-ring and the jumper valve then refit bonnet & spindle - make sure not to over tighten the nuts.

10. Re-assemble the tap, close it and then open the water main.

11. Check that the leaking has ceased.

RESEATING A TAP If your tap continues to leak after replacing the washers it will need to be reseated. Reseating resurfaces your tap, so that the washer has the tightest seal. The simplest way to do this is to purchase a reseating kit which generally comes with all of the washers and seals to simply reseat your tap.

how to create a vertical garden Follow this step-by-step guide to create a beautiful thriving garden in even the smallest backyard.

PREPARE PALLET how-to-create-a-vertical-gardenA Use an old pallet that is in good condition and sand down any rough areas on the pallet and secure any loose nails. Attach the three extra timber slats to the back of the pallet. (fig.1) CUT AND STAPLE Cut the weed mat to cover the back, sides and bottom of the pallet. Staple the weed mat to the pallet, starting at the top. Smooth the weed mat across the pallet and ensure it is kept taut at all times. Staples should be approximately 1-2 inches apart. (Keep the top and front uncovered as this is where the plants will go).

TURN AND POSITION Once the weed mat is firmly attached to the top, sides and bottom, flip the pallet over so the open side of the pallet is exposed. Move the pallet close to where it will eventually be secured to the wall.

Fig. 1

START PLANTING how-to-create-a-vertical-garden-B Place the first row of plants in the top of the pallet, placing them very tightly together. Fill the pallet with the potting mix, pushing it through the slats and compacting it in with your hands. Plant the remainder of the pallet by making a trench in the potting mix in each pallet row. Ensure plants are tightly fitted into each space, working your way up or down the pallet. (Please note edible plants are not appropriate for this project). (fig.1)

Fig. 2

CHECK AND REST Once you have finished, the plants should cover all openings in the pallet, allowing no room for soil to escape.

Leave the pallet lying down for a week to allow roots to establish and hold soil in place.

SECURE AND FINISH Move the pallet vertically into place and secure to the wall. Enjoy your new vertical garden and ensure you water regularly.

the 19th biennale of sydney The Biennale of Sydney announces details of the inaugural city of Sydney legacy artwork by artists Janet Cardiff and george Bures Miller.

T

YOU IMAGINE WHAT YOU DESIRE 19TH BIENNALE OF SYDNEY 12

homesguideliving

he 19th Biennale of Sydney: You Imagine What You Desire will be presented from 21 March – 9 June 2014, under the artistic direction of Juliana Engberg.

You Imagine What You Desire is an evocation celebrating the artistic imagination as a spirited describing and exploration of the world through metaphor and poesis.

It makes enquiries into contemporary aesthetic experience, and relates this to historical precedents and future opportunities to imagine possible worlds. It seeks to understand the need artists have today to create immersive and expanded environments, and locates this activity as part of an art historical trajectory, and as a pursuit into the issues of human consciousness, and their psychological, cognitive and corporeal imperatives.

It reminds us that powerful art is not divorced from the cultural conditions, political, social and climatic environments in which it is generated. That indeed it often exists to provide a meta-commentary on these aspects of society – and even, sometimes, act as an antidote and proposition. As a future vision. You Imagine What You Desire seeks splendour and rapture in works that remain true to a greater, even sublime visuality. Today these things co-exist and overlap, and the tactics of theatricality cannot be separated from overtly social-situationist inspired works, just as they are central to works engaging with humanity at a grand scale. Extra energies are sought in works that unleash physical www.homesguide.com.au

and psychic intensity.

A happy anarchy is produced with works that activate the power of imagination through laughter and activity.

The Biennale of Sydney has announced that the inaugural City of Sydney legacy artwork will be a specially commissioned twilight video walk around The Rocks.

Created by international artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, City of Forking Paths (2014) will be unveiled on 1 May 2014 as part of the 19th Biennale of Sydney: You Imagine What You Desire, curated by Juliana Engberg. The work will remain as a permanent part of the City of Sydney’s public art collection (City Art) at the conclusion of the exhibition.

Experienced on a smart phone or mobile device, City of Forking Paths leads people on a fictional journey through physical surrounds at dusk. Starting at Customs House in Circular Quay, the work weaves a trail through The Rocks.

Users can download the app onto their personal devices from home or borrow a mobile device for free.

The City of Sydney has committed up to $300,000 every two years to commission a major artwork for each of the next three Biennale of Sydney exhibitions, which will remain in Sydney as a permanent legacy and become part of the City Art collection. Lord Mayor Clover Moore said: ‘This first Biennale legacy artwork

by Cardiff and Miller builds on the City’s commitment to high-quality public art and we’ve committed up to $300,000

to keep this engaging, world-class work here.

‘The success of events like the Biennale shows there is enthusiastic public support for contemporary art in Sydney – people want to be inspired, challenged and delighted by art and the City is committed to making Sydney the sort of place where groundbreaking art is encouraged and appreciated.

‘This new work by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller fits that category perfectly and I am sure it will be enthusiastically welcomed.’

Marah Braye, Chief Executive Officer, Biennale of Sydney said: ‘We are proud to attract some of the most respected names in contemporary art from around the world to exhibit work in this city. It is wonderful for us to be working with Cardiff and Miller again. This new project allows the Biennale of Sydney to secure major international artists to create new work for the City of Sydney and to further expand the City Art collection.’

Cardiff and Miller have created popular site-specific walks for cities around the world, including New York, Pittsburgh, São Paulo, Rome, London and Berlin, most recently creating a video walk for Kassel’s Hauptbahnhof Station as part of DOCUMENTA (13) (2012). City of Forking Paths continues Cardiff and Miller’s innovative body of work by engrossing the active viewer in an intoxicating world that bridges reality and fiction.

Against the backdrop of real streets and familiar sites, the artists invent fictional scenarios and incidents for users to discover along the way. Guided by the voice of Janet Cardiff, familiar streets, made mystical at dusk, become the backdrop for an unfolding narrative of memory, displacement and desire. The title is an homage to Jorges Luis Borges’ story, The Garden of Forking Paths, a tale that uses the genre of a spy story to uncover questions of time and loss.

Juliana Engberg, Artistic Director,

of

Sydney

said:

‘In

commissioning Cardiff and Miller to create this evocative fiction of the city, I wanted to acknowledge artists who have already made an impact upon the hearts and minds of the Biennale audience.

People

will

no

doubt

remember their amazing sound work, The Murder of Crows, at Pier 2/3 in 2008.

This video walk will become, I’m sure, a must-do encounter for the people of, and visitors to, Sydney.’

The video walk will be available for use, free of charge, after 1 May 2014 when it will be launched during the Middle Program of the 19th Biennale of Sydney.

Some of the most respected names in contemporary art from around the world to exhibit work in this city. It is wonderful for us to be working with Cardiff and Miller again. This new project allows the Biennale of Sydney to secure major international artists to create new work for the City of Sydney.

contemporary, her work also resonates with ghosts of the past, providing a glimpse into the shifting circumstances of this part of the world.

Erdei’s work celebrates the unexpected and the incongruous; as a practitioner, she captures the humour and absurdity in the everyday.

Her talent lies in creating a feeling of the stumbled upon or the lucky snapshot. In this public talk, Erdei will shed light on her practice and examine the accidental as a photographic methodology.

Hear insights into the work of Douglas Gordon from MCA Assistant Director, Curatorial and Digital, Blair French in the lead-up to the artist’s presentation of the 19th Biennale Keynote Address, held at City Recital Hall, Angel Place, CBD, Sydney.

Artists possess a unique ability to make connections with communities and explore their culture, idiosyncrasies and socio-political machinations.

Featured on this panel are three 19th Biennale artists who have embedded themselves in communities or certain geographic locations to develop works with a socio-political focus.

The conversation will examine the challenges and rewards of this process, as well as how it might affect the format, composition and reception of the resulting artworks.

PUBLIC TALK: STOCKING ACCIDENTAL 22 MARCH 4.00–5.00pm Krisztina Erdei’s documentary-style photographs evoke a constellation of qualities or moods. They are certainly quirky and humorous but often also insolent, stirring, poetic or simply bewildering. Signs of westernisation and globalisation are everywhere in her work, which spans numerous communities across the Ukraine, Lithuania, Kosovo and her native Hungary.

nitro circus is coming to town Nitro Circus live returns to Sydney this year with a brand new show!

T

he world’s biggest action sports show returns to Australia with an incredible 4-city arena tour beginning May 2014 Fresh from sell-out tours of South Africa, Europe and North America Nitro Circus Live(www.nitrocircuslive.com) will bring a brand new, death defying spectacular back to Australia with four shows beginning May 2014.

The Australian tour will be the official unveiling of a stunning all-new show, painstakingly developed over the past five years.

“Nitro Circus Live sold out the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

We saw standing ovations there and at every stop on last year’s European tour; we’ve broken ticket sale records in Australia and were the highest selling tour in New Zealand in 2011, beating AC/DC and U2,” said Nitro Circus Live Promoter, Michael Porra. “This brandnew show will be unlike anything audiences have seen before and we can’t wait to unveil it to Australian fans first.” Nitro Circus Live showcases over 40 of the world’s best action 22

homesguideliving

sports athletes performing daring and often record-breaking tricks in freestyle motocross, BMX and skateboarding, along with heart-stopping stunts on unique contraptions rarely attempted outside of the Nitro Circus family.

Featuring the stars of Nitro Circus’ hit TV show and Nitro Circus 3D film, the tour was founded by action sports legend, Travis Pastrana, a 10-time X Games gold medalist.

It also marks the highly anticipated return of Travis Pastrana, to the sport which rocketed him to international superstardom; freestyle motocross.

After three years away from the sport due to a number of injuries and NASCAR commitments, Pastrana will ride FMX at every stop on the Nitro Circus Live tour in May, the first time Australian fans will have had the opportunity to see Pastrana on a dirtbike since 2010.

“I am really pumped to be getting back on a dirtbike after three years,” said Pastrana. “I’ve had a rough time with injuries over the past few years and I have challenged myself in different disciplines, but freestyle motocross has www.homesguide.com.au

always been my true passion. Nothing gets close to the energy generated by fans at a Nitro Circus Live event. I’m stoked to be riding again and can’t wait to come to Australia!”

AustrAliAn tour shows include: saturday May 10 Perth, NIB Stadium Friday May 16 Brisbane Brisbane Entertainment Centre saturday May 17 Brisbane Brisbane Entertainment Centre Friday May 23 sydney, Allphones Arena saturday May 24 sydney, Allphones Arena Friday May 30 Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena saturday May 31 Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena sunday June 1 Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena

“This tour is the biggest and most audacious action sports production ever staged,” says Pastrana. “This is truly an exciting, adrenaline-charged, live action sports show featuring an insane group of athletes who push each other to new extremes every single show.”

The 2014 tour will bring together the greatest action sports cast ever assembled, including current X Games Silver medalist in FMX, Adam Jones, as well as X Fighters Champion Josh Sheehan.

On the BMX side, X Games champion Zack Warden brings his innovative style to Australia, as well as the world’s only triple backflipper, James Foster, and the man who invented the trick, Jed ‘The Warrior’ Mildon of New Zealand. The 10 other members of the star-studded BMX crew will throw down brand new tricks never before seen in Australia.Add in the members of the original ‘Nitro Crew’ including Jeremy Rawle, Streetbike Tommy, Special Greg, Jolene Van Vugt, Erik Roner, Crum, Gregg Godfrey, and the whole Godfrey Clan, and you truly have the greatest line-up ever to hit Australian shores.

Some of the new elements include the ‘Wall of Death’, the ‘Launch and Splat’ and the BMX Super Kicker, which will launch the BMX crew into ridiculous rotations including 1080s and world first 1400s.

In addition, fans will also see the unbelievable ‘Hole in One’ where riders launch 50 feet into the air off the Gigant-A-Ramp and attempt to land with pinpoint accuracy inside an inflatable zorb ball.

Then add in a host of mind-bending new tricks on a cavalcade of ridiculous, never-before-seen contraptions off the jacked-up Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp, which is 10-feet bigger, and will launch riders up to 20-feet further than ever before.

council watch News and updates by the hills shire council A DAY OF ELEGANCE AT BELLA VISTA FARM PARK High Tea is back in the Sydney Hills with residents and guests invited to enjoy a morning or afternoon of elegance at the beautifully restored Bella Vista Farm Park Homestead on Sunday March 23.

Hills Shire Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne said it’s a great opportunity to spend the afternoon with mothers and grandmothers.

“At the last High Tea event I went along with former Hills Mayor Sonya Philips, Shuba Kumar, Sheree Degabriele, Shirley Purser, Evelyn Lester and Belinda Hill and we had a fantastic afternoon,” Mayor Byrne said. “This time I’ll be taking mum along.”

“The Bella Vista Farm Park homestead was a dilapidated old building ten years ago, but many dollars have been spent on restoring the historic Georgian home to its original elegance.”

“It’s a really unique location and I couldn’t think of any venue more suitable for this kind of event.”

Mayor Byrne said that the previous High Tea event was the first time that the homestead had been opened to the general public.

“The feedback we got was that it was fantastic to be able to have a lovely afternoon of high tea in such a beautiful venue. It truly is a historical oasis in the heart of Norwest Business Park.”

Guests will be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival and enjoy a selection of sweet and savoury food items along with premium silvertip leaf

BRING ON BADGERY’S CREEK AIRPORT SAYS MAYOR BYRNE With NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell now conditionally backing an airport at Badgery’s Creek, Hills Shire Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne said it’s time for all levels of Government to come together and get on with the job of delivering the project now. “What we’re finally seeing is Liberal governments at local, state and federal level strongly backing an airport,” Mayor Byrne said. “Prime Minister Abbott’s thoughtful and consultative approach to managing the second airport outcome is in stark contrast to the years of delays and opposition of the former Labor Government.”

“I agree with the NSW Premier that if an airport is built at Badgery’s Creek then infrastructure like roads and rail needs to be funded.” “However, it seems that not everyone has come on board to support a second airport and that there are those who continue to stall and oppose this important issue.”

Mayor Byrne said that she agreed with Liverpool City Mayor, Clr Ned Mannoun, who has previously said that the airport could be up and running within five years, not 2027 as proposed by the NSW Business Chamber’s Western Sydney Airport Alliance.

“Mayor Mannoun is right. We could see the airport functioning in a regional capacity within five years. This is an ambition that we should strive for.”

“What I would love to see is for the long-awaited North West Rail Link to www.homesguide.com.au

eventually extend all the way out to an airport at Badgery’s Creek.”

“Workers in Norwest Business Park could jump on a train to the airport where they could then catch a flight to Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth or even into Asia.”

Hills Shire Deputy Mayor, Clr Andrew Jefferies, said that Western Sydney Labor MPs and Councillors that continue to campaign against the airport at Badgery’s Creek need to move on. ”Those still opposing a second airport include Ed Husic (Chifley), Michelle Rowland (Greenway), Chris Hayes (Fowler), Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen (McMahon) and Labor Councillors in Penrith, Blacktown and Fairfield,” Clr Jefferies said.

“I can’t see why these elected representatives are continuing to fight against a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fast track economic growth, key infrastructure and an additional 30,000 jobs for their constituents.”

The Deputy Mayor also called upon the NSW Business Chamber to do more to lead and educate local business chambers in Western Sydney to support a second airport.

“Whilst the creation of Western Sydney Airport Alliance has had some limited success in attracting local government and trade union support, it is clear that critical leadership is required by its CEO, Stephen Cartwright to do more to maximise the potential benefits of a second airport for the Western Sydney small business community.”

“Instead of running grandiose travelling roadshows with oversized semi-trailers and billboards, the Chamber could be delivering regular business and community forums to communicate more broadly with small business in Western Sydney. A second airport is a once in a life time opportunity to supercharge the economic powerhouse of Western Sydney and the 2027 target date proposed by the Chamber should be revised and brought forward,” said the Deputy Mayor.

the best cooking oils Fat has its place in a healthy diet. Besides being a source of energy, fat helps your body absorb certain vitamins (A, D, E and K), aids in satiety and is a key nutrient for proper growth and metabolic function. Replacing unhealthy options like saturated and trans fats from fast foods, fatty meats and tropical oils provides heart-protecting benefits by reducing total and LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol levels in your blood. Opt for cooking oils with higher amounts of omega-3s and monounsaturated fat.

OLIVE OIL Olive oil is one of the most versatile, flavourful oils for the at-home chef, and it’s also high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants and polyphenols. Reserve pricier extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing and last-minute drizzles. Sautee or stir fry with a more inexpensive brand or regular olive oil.

CANOLA OIL Low in saturated fat and high in monoand polyunsaturated fatty acids, canola oil has a neutral flavor that’s great for baking and has a high smoke point for sauteing or frying. It’s a good source of

34

homesguideliving

www.homesguide.com.au

omega-3 fatty acids which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

FLAXSEED OIL Boost your omega-3 fatty acid intake by adding a tablespoon of nutty tasting flaxseed oil to salads, smoothies or veggie dips.

Refrigerate to prevent rancidity and only purchase oil stored in black containers. Not to be used for cooking.

Also try walnut oil for the same hearthealthy benefits.

vitamin E and antioxidants which may help prevent chronic disease.

Safflower oil Although still considered an unsaturated fat, this all-purpose vegetable oil (much like corn oil and sunflower oil) is high in omega-6 fatty acids, so should be used in moderation. Too much of the polyunsaturated omega-6s are proven to block the protective effects of omega-3s fatty acids.

CoConut oil This kitchen all-star can withstand some seriously high heat, making it a go-to for

frying. And while it has a high amount of saturated fat, coconut oil has been tentatively linked to overall reductions in blood lipid content (including excess triglycerides, the clog-happy stuff rolling around in our blood vessels).

Coconut oil has numerous other health benefits (like promoting weight loss and a healthy digestive tract) and can be a useful tool when applied in moderation.

oil into an everyday diet, it all comes down to heat. To retain their fatty acid content and avoid burning, flaxseed, walnut, and hemp oils should only be used as condiments or in salad dressings, while the ones listed above are all cooking-friendly.

And if experimentation with these oils in the kitchen doesn’t quite go according to plan, rub them on the face for a moisturizing facial and call it a day. Though maybe that’s an entirely different article.

8 ways to avoid vitamin d deficiency Vitamin D is a fat-soble nutrient that promotes bone health, staves off inflammation and helps keep your immune system strong.

I

f you’re prone to bone pain, general weakness or depressive moods, upping your intake could be just what the doctor ordered. Approximately 25 percent of Americans are at risk for slightly low levels and 8 percent for full deficiency of vitamin D, according to research released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011.

You can get the recommended daily dose of 600 International Units (IUs) from certain foods, sun exposure and -- when those aren’t enough -- dietary supplements.

Read on to learn more about these sources that can help you keep your nutrient intake in check and help you to stay healthy this winter.

MushrooMs Along with fish, mushrooms are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D. Some varieties are treated with ultraviolet light therapy, which causes the mushrooms to synthesize more.

Research conducted at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center showed that UV-treated portobello mushrooms contained 446 IUs per 3.5 ounces, compared to 10 IUs in the same amount of untreated mushrooms. TIP: You can create your own vitamin D-rich mushrooms by allowing them to soak up the sun for several days before eating them. sardines Sardines may be tiny compared to other fish, but their nutritional benefits are mighty. A 3-ounce serving supplies 165 International Units of vitamin D. 36

homesguideliving

One reason sardines are so rich in vitamin D and calcium is the fact that you eat the entire fish, bones and all.

Like humans, fish store valuable amounts of calcium and vitamin D in their bones.

Sardines also supply vitamin B-12, iron, selenium and protein. If you find sardines’ flavor too “fishy,” soaking them in milk for an hour creates a milder taste. eggs Eggs received an undeserved bad rap in the past due to their yolks’ cholesterol content. According to Tamara Duker Freuman, RD, whole eggs including yolks fit within a healthy diet. “I think eggs are a perfectly fine source of vitamin D and other important nutrients for most people,” says Freuman, “and I tend not to discourage them.”

One large egg offers up 40 IUs (11percent of our daily requirement) of vitamin D, and the vitamin D in eggs is only found in the yolk, not the egg www.homesguide.com.au

whites. For a reduced-cholesterol egg dish, scramble one whole egg with 2 egg whites, which are cholesterol-free.

One egg per day hasn’t been shown to damage cholesterol health. salMon A well-known source of protein and heart-healthy omega-3s, salmon is also a top food source of vitamin D. A 3-ounce portion of sockeye salmon -- about the size of a deck of cards – provides about 450 IUs of vitamin D. Since vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, canned salmon with the bones in (be sure to choose a can that is labeled BPA-free) is a win-win for bone health. Given the choice, Bryan Roof, a registered dietitian and chef, recommends paying the slightly higher price for wild salmon. Eighty percent of the salmon sold in the United States were raised on farms. Although farmraised salmon provides equal amounts

of vitamin D, it is lower in omega-3s than wild salmon.

Beef Liver Beef liver is another food that seldom makes recommended health food lists.

“Many people don’t enjoy the taste of liver, but it is actually one of the healthiest foods you can eat,” said Ana Johnson, RD. While it is fairly high in cholesterol, a 68g slice provides 33 IUs of vitamin D, and valuable amounts of zinc, iron, niacin and vitamin A. To keep your cardiovascular health in check, incorporate modest amounts of beef liver into healthy meals.

SunShine Vitamin D is often called the sunshine vitamin because your body produces it when UV rays strike your skin. Most people obtain some of their required vitamin D this way, though spending most of your time indoors or wearing sunblock

(while helpful for preventing skin cancer) reduces your accessibility to vitamin D from the sun’s rays.

Some researchers suggest allowing your face, arms, back or legs to soak up sun for 5 to 30 minutes between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. twice per week for sufficient vitamin D. If you are concerned about the sun’s damaging rays, you can choose to spend less time in the sun and instead choose to eat more of the vitamin D-rich foods mentioned in the previous slides.

SuppLementS Supplements provide a useful option if you aren’t getting enough vitamin D from foods and sun exposure. The most accurate way to determine a deficiency, says the National Library of Medicine, is the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test.

If you have a true deficiency, your doctor may prescribe medicinal doses of synthetic vitamin D. While vitamin D

www.homesguide.com.au

consumed through food isn’t known to cause toxicity, going overboard on supplemental vitamin D can lead to serious complications, such as heart, arterial and kidney problems.

If you simply want to fill in potential dietary gaps, a basic multi-vitamin can provide safe amounts of vitamin D and other essential nutrients.

Light Box Therapy In some cases, light therapy or phototherapy is a useful way to improve vitamin D levels and relieve seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and symptoms of depression. Such treatment, which should be prescribed by a doctor or therapist, often involves routine 15-minute increments of exposure to a light box.

plyometric exercise moves that burn major calories

E

ver seen people at the gym do a series of crazy-intense, rapid-fire jumps, skips, and hops?

You were witnessing plyometrics, a type of high-octane training that taps into energy stored in muscles to encourage muscle development, agility, cardio functioning, stamina, and speed.

Neal Pire, sports conditioning expert and author of Plyometrics for Athletes at 38

homesguideliving

All Levels explains the great benefits of pylo exercises.

Plyos are in the news these days; a new study found that a moderate plyo routine done on a hard surface improved athletic performance. Oh, and thanks to the energy needed to do them, they incinerate serious calories.

Whether you want to boost your skills on the field or court or are looking for a www.homesguide.com.au

boredom-busting workout to keep you on your toes and pay off with a smoking body, give these plyometric moves, developed by Pire, a try (after a thorough warm-up, of course).

Pire suggests adding two or three of these exercises into your workout, and doing 2-3 sets of 10 reps.

Perfect form is key, so take a break if your form slips.

SQUAT JUMPS Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands clasped behind your head.

1. Keeping your weight on your heels, squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Pause in the squat.

2. Without counter-movement and

SCISSOR JUMPS (ALTERNATING LEGS) Starting Position: Stand in a split squat position with your left foot forward, right foot back, and your right arm forward and left arm back. Keep your chest up.

1. Jump and scissor the arms and legs at the same time so that the opposite arm comes forward with the opposite leg.

2. Upon landing, reverse by jumping and scissoring your legs back to your original starting position.

Repeat.

TUCK JUMPS Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands at your sides. Keep your weight on your heels.

1. Quickly push your hips back while flexing your knees to squat down into a quarter-squat. Swing your arms backward.

2. Without pausing at the bottom of the squat, reverse direction and explosively jump straight up into the air, popping your knees up toward your chest.

3. When landing, make sure that you absorb the impact by pushing the hips back and flexing your knees.

Repeat single efforts for desired number of repetitions, or as a series of multiple repetition jumps.

STANDING BROAD JUMP Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands at your sides. Face the direction of your jump.

1. Quickly push your hips back and flex your knees into a quarter-squat. As you do this, swing your arms backward.

2. Without pausing, jump forward as you swing your arms forward.

3. When landing, make sure that you absorb the impact by pushing your hips back and flexing your knees.

Repeat single efforts or multiplerepetitions.

3. Jump onto the next box, keeping the feet touch-down time on the ground as short as possible.

Repeat for one to three sets, allowing for full recovery between each set.

SINGLE-LEGGED HOPS

DEPTH JUMPS

(“DOT DRILLS”) Dots can be drawn onto the floor with chalk or you may use masking tape to designate your target dots or boxes in which to land each hop.

Starting Position: Stand on one foot with the other foot held free behind you.

1. Quickly hop onto the first dot.

2. Immediately upon landing, hop to the next dot.

3. Continue hopping back and forth in your desired pattern, spending as little time as possible on the ground upon landing each hop.

SPEED-SKATERS Starting position: Stand on your right leg with your left leg behind you with your left toe on the ground for balance.

1. Flexing your right knee to lower your hips, explode to your left.

2. Land on your left foot, bending your left knee to absorb your landing impact and bringing your right leg behind your left foot to counterbalance as you decelerate.

3. Immediately reverse direction, leaping back onto your right foot.

Repeat.

BOX JUMPS This can also be done with one box instead of several. The height of the box may vary, but should be in the region of 12 to 30 inches.

Starting Position: Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of a row of 4 to 6 boxes. Contract your abdominal muscles to stabilize your trunk and spine.

1. Quickly drop down into a squatting position and immediately jump onto the box, landing softly on the balls of your feet in a squat position.

2. Jump off the box onto the ground, landing softly on the balls of your feet in a squat position. www.homesguide.com.au

Following the success of their 2013 season, The University of Sydney Musical Theatre Ensemble (MUSE) is excited to present their 2014 major production, Cole Porter’s lively nautical classic “Anything Goes” at the Seymour Centre.

Winner of six Tony Awards, the 1930s musical comedy follows the journey of the London-bound S.S. ‘American’ revealing topsy-turvy relationships, mistaken identities and foiled plots.

Onboard are Billy Crocker, a stowaway stockbroker in love with wealthy heiress Hope Harcourt, who in turn is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Throw in the corrupted morals of evangelist-turnednight-club singer Reno Sweeney, Public Enemy #13 and an inebriated Wall Street banker and prepare for a comic tangle of sin, substitution and showstopping sea shanties. The score includes the now iconic classics Anything Goes, You’re the Top, I Get a Kick Out of You and It’s De-Lovely. Anything Goes marks MUSE’s eighth year of theatre-making.

The society offers university students the opportunity to create, perform in and learn about performance in addition to their academic studies.

Since its inception in 2006, many MUSE alumni have gone on to work professionally in the performing arts both in Australia and overseas.

Seven Kilometres North-East is deviser/ performer Kym Vercoe’s attempt, to reconcile her idyllic experience of Bosnia with its brutal past. On a Slivovitz-fuelled adventure across Bosnia, seduced by the visual and aural beauty of the Balkans, she spends a night in the Visegrad Spa Hotel, only to later discover that the walls possess dark secrets that no one dare unearth.

Which crucial facts are omitted from the tourist guidebook? What happens when a town of great beauty, conspires to whitewash and repackage its history?

It is an intensely beautiful production combining live performance, evocative music and stunning visuals to explore a provocative dilemma. Accompanied by beautiful projections from video artist Sean Bacon, the production is a deeply personal, political performance.

Receiving the 2012 Graham F Smith Peace Trust Award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival Awards, the production has also been adapted for a feature film, For Those Who Can Tell No Tales, directed by award-winning Bosnian filmmaker Jasmila Zbanic. This film had its international première at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and is currently on the international film festival circuit. An Australian première is likely later this year.

In this Odyssey collection, on display now at Painters’ Gallery, a new energy is born from each individual beautiful travel image creating an original unique giclée mixed media piece of visual Art....

From the Artists: “The Artwork we are now creating is a contemporary examination of our original images to present our life’s work in a new and fresh way. From 1000’s of pictures over most of the world, we select inspirational images as our nuclei. The content is often familiar to the viewer however our interest is to evolve this nucleus image to another level that is not only surprising but a transformation to a dynamic energy.

Each original picture has details which can go unnoticed - the cobblestones on the street, the teapot on the table, the ear decoration, the gnarled old tree - they have their own place and are

keeping reptiles as pets Reptile keeping is the fastest growing sector in the Australian pet industry

R

eptile keeping is the fastest growing sector in the Australian pet industry due to the change in living accommodation of people in urban areas. Reptiles are also a suitable alternative to other pets that require a lot more care and handling.

“I think more and more people are recognising the beauty of having a reptile,” says Dr Robert Johnson, veterinarian, President of the Unusual Pet and Avian Vets Group of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and advisor to the Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA) on reptile matters.

Over the past 20 years the typical reptile owner has evolved, with many people now regarding reptiles as companion animals. In fact, many reptile owners are pet owning families, rather than enthusiasts or herpetologists, says Dr Johnson, who has had reptiles as pets since he was a child.

“Australia has also seen a growth in the number of veterinarians willing and able to treat reptiles,” he says.

Reptile keeping also has a number of benefits: • Suitable for most ages, young and old • They are a good link for children to

have to wildlife • Easily transportable • They make little noise compared with other pets • Do not cause allergies • Low cost for ongoing care Nowadays, the more popular pet reptiles are the central bearded dragon, blue tongue lizard, carpet python, long and short neck turtles and the Children’s python group (Antaresia species, named after the scientist Dr John George Children), which are known for their smaller size compared with the other python species.

A reptile keeping licence is mandatory.

“It is very important to have the appropriate licence if you want to have a reptile as a pet or breed them,” says Dr Johnson, who is also author of “A Guide to Health and Diseases in Reptiles and Amphibians” as well as author of the health and disease chapters in “A Guide to Turtles”, “A Guide to Frogs” and “A Guide to Australian Snakes”.

For information on how and where to get a licence, you need to check with your state/territory authority as the requirements are different in each area.

Reptiles are easy to care for but they do have nutritional and environmental needs that must be met on a daily basis.

They need adequate exposure to heat (as they can’t generate their own body heat) and ultraviolet light (ie sun), and need somewhere to hide.

“Reptiles need to have a comfortable environment with thermal gradients (where the enclosure provides an array of temperatures), so reptiles can choose to go to a cooler or warmer spot whenever they like,” he says.

Reptiles also need a regular food source, depending on the type of reptile, but be careful not to overfeed as they can eat until they almost explode, like a puppy, he adds. When it comes to

stimulation, reptiles are generally fine with being handled regularly. However, reptiles can suffer from over handling.

For instance, a python eats every one to two weeks and once they swallow their food, they need to retire to a warm corner spot and digest their prey. They don’t want to be handled during this time, otherwise they’ll regurgitate their food, says Dr Johnson.

Over handling can cause health problems. Over handling is also an important cause of health issues, such as metabolic bone disease in bearded dragons. “I tend to ask my clients to resist handling their pet too often, in particular younger reptiles as they are being taken out of their heated environment and exposure to light. It’s not so risky when they are older and stop growing, but they do need to be in that controlled environment,” he says. “Reptiles have a choice of choosing a hot or cool spot (in their enclosure) but they don’t have that choice when sitting on your shoulder in the lounge room while you watch TV all night.” Some owners bring their reptiles into a vet clinic perched on their shoulder. You need to bring your reptile to the vet in a secure box with a heat pack if possible, advises Dr Johnson.

Keeping reptiles is not costly, except for initial setup which may cost up to $500 as it involves the enclosure (tank), light source, thermostat, food bowl and other accessories for environmental enrichment.

There will also be ongoing expenses for maintenance of the enclosure, plus food (for example, crickets that last a couple of weeks cost around $5).

“The beauty of pet shops is that they can sell you a whole unit - everything you need to care for your pet reptile,” he says.

In March 2013, the NSW Government overturned a ban on the sale of reptiles in pet stores in the state, which is a win for the welfare of the reptiles, says Dr

“Reptiles are also a suitable alternative to other pets that require a lot more care and handling”.

Johnson, in that we can control the sale of reptiles more closely and ensure owners are better equipped with the correct information on how to care for their reptilian pet.

“In the past, lizards, snakes and turtles could only be legally obtained in NSW from other people with a reptile keepers licence. And the amount of after sale service was patchy,” he says. “Some breeders were exceptional in that people received adequate information.

But in some cases, once the sale had been done, you were on your own.”

Now that pet shops are selling reptiles, people can be assured the after sale service and education at point of sale is at a certain standard.

“I think it’s important we make the process of obtaining a reptile as a pet easier to regulate and to supervise.

This is a turn for the better, for both the animal and the enthusiast,” says Dr Johnson. www.homesguide.com.au
