Hi neighbours, it's been claimed the High Court review into the council's revitalisation project at Anzac Ave car park is a political move that only hurts ratepayers - how do you feel about it?

However in 1895, George Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist, proposed a two hour time shift for this very reason, so he’d have more after-work hours of sunshine to go bug hunting in the summer, and thus the modern concept of daylight saving time came to be!
As you enjoy your lighter summer afternoons now that daylight saving time has started, keep an eye out for bugs in your backyard – you never know what you might find!
Here is John Early our Curator of Entomology collecting kelp fly larvae in Takapuna, Robert Vennell our Botany Collection Manager collecting dragonflies in Piha and the daughters of our Land Fauna Collection Manager Ruby Moore off to collect insects from a stream in Ngataki. All in a day's work here at Auckland Museum!

We appreciate all the positive support we are getting for our campaign. We are proud of our policy position. Neither of us are interested in divisive politics, it's not our style.
As we have done with the local boards, we have worked constructively with our communities with great results. We will continue to do so on council to best represent the communities we love.

Serves 4
Ingredients
20 Asparagus, spears (5-6 asparagus spears per person)
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Mayonnaise
50 g Parmigiano cheese, grated
Directions
1. Snap off the asparagus ends or peel the last 2-3 centimetres.
2. Heat a pot of water to blanch the asparagus.
3. Add salt and sugar to the water — this helps heighten the green colour of the asparagus.
4. When water reaches a rolling boil, add the asparagus. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain in a sink with cold running water and ice if you have it.
6. Remove from the water when cool and drain and place on a serving plate.
7. Combine the parmigiano and mayonnaise and pour over the asparagus.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

This house is a home not just another flat. We have super soft carpet under your feet and fully equipped with nice plates, matching glasses etc. We have Vodafone TV with Netflix, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, extraction fan, HIV system, Dyson hoover...fully furnished for a comfortable lifestyle.
The house is 4min walk from the beach as well the lake, from the cinema and 2 minutes walk from yoga, gym, all the shops and restaurants and take away and massage places. 1 min walk to the theatre. 3x supermarkets within 5 min drive and 2 petrol stations.
Motorway access is 5 min drive going North as well towards the city.
Ponsonby is 7min drive, Albany mall is 10.
Your room: Can come furnished with my King bed! Yes! Super comfy!!! Or you can have it unfurnished. The choice is yours.
It's the smaller room of the 2 but it's only 2 people in the house so you'll have the whole place really.
My flatmate (your flatmate) is awesome. We're living together for about 6 month. Easy going, respectful. You'll get on with him!
You must have a full time job, pay rent on time, be clean & tidy & easy going.
I'm the lease holder on the place and I'm going overseas for a bit but ideally don't want to give up on this amazing place nor thinking about moving before I leave.
Here is the deal. You can definitely stay a minimum of 3 month, might be even longer. I'm going to give you a month notice before I come back. I only purchased a one way ticket so you might be able to stay for 6 month or more.
I'm leaving on the 29th Nov, ideally like to stay here till then but happy to negotiate if you like to move in early Nov.
Believe me. Having summer at this place is the best!!!! You won't regret it!
