Hangover Cure
Hangovers come from dehydration (caused by the alcohol in wine) – that is what gives you the headaches, nausea and fuzzy brain. Also, you tend to not sleep well if you have overdone it (and yes I do have… ahem…some experience with this) which makes your brain fuzzy and the simplest of tasks seem like [...]
Timing In The Market vs Time In The Market
‘Timing the market’ is not just a strategy that investors need think about when looking at the share market, as the GFC has shown that even property is not safe from volatility. Most investors are familiar with the theory that if you invest in quality property that your investment will double every ten years, however, [...]
Teaspoons & Champagne Bottles
There are many urban myths out there. Some fall into the scary category like razor blades in apples at Halloween (apparently not one case has ever been reported). The I-really-should-know-better-category (yes you still can get pregnant while nursing) and the good-to-know-it’s-a-crock-category (the Grapefruit Diet). Putting a teaspoon into champagne unfortunately falls into the last category. [...]
The Darker Side Of Social Media
I was distressed today to read this story on a young man who committed suicide after being filmed kissing another male without his knowledge. The video was subsequently used to show others online. Here is the story reported in the Sydney Morning Herald. More often we are reading about cyber bullying, harassment and intimidation. The sad part [...]

Melbourne Versus Sydney
Posted by Louise Ling on April 1st, 2012
I’m a Sydney girl, through and through. Born and bred, does it need to be said? It’s one of the best cities in the world. The Opera House. The beaches. Paddington Markets. Dinner at Longrain. The old ferries floating on the harbour. Sunshine that makes your skin tingle. Bring. It. On. Thus, like many a [...]

There have been a lot of scare campaigns around the Mineral Resource Rent Tax that was passed into legislation this week. Many vested interests in the mining sector have pushed their personal barrow through the media in an attempt to muster public support, with some issues raised being completely misleading.
