Construction firm calls in receivers
"Disappointing to read this in the paper and not to hear it from Richina. Why hasn't Richard Yan been communicating with Richina's shareholders?"Featured comment
Large-scale developer Mainzeal Property and Construction, until recently chaired by former prime minister Dame Jenny Shipley, has been placed in receivership.
The company's sole remaining director, Richard Yan, made a request to BNZ for receivership, resulting in the appointment of Colin McCloy and David Bridgman of PwC as receivers today.
According to a statement from PwC, Mr Yan advised that a series of events had adversely affected the company's financial position, coupled with a general decline in commercial construction activity.
In the absence of further shareholder support, the company could no longer continue trading.
The company employed upward of 400 staff.
Mr McCloy says the receivers are committed to "doing the best we can for the suppliers, staff and subcontractors of Mainzeal."
The company forms part of the Mainzeal Group, which is owned by Richina Inc, a privately held New Zealand-based company with a strong China focus.
Companies Office records show several directors ceased holding office with Mainzeal in December, including chairwoman Shipley and former Brierley executive Paul Collins.
In 2011 the company won the RMB Commercial Project of the Year for its build of Lion Breweries' state of the art brewery in East Tamaki.
Joint venture 'safe'
Mainzeal recently formed a joint venture with planning consultants MWH to fix earthquake-damaged homes in Christchurch insured by Vero, AA Insurance and SIS Insurance.
MWH Mainzeal's programme manager of the Canterbury earthquake recovery, Chris Pile, told NBR ONLINE he was formally notified of the receivership this afternoon and it came as a shock.
"We certainly didn't see it coming and I don't have any details as to what the cause is or the magnitude."
The joint venture company, which project-manages earthquake repairs, has almost 200 staff, with about half employed by Mainzeal – one of many construction companies involved in the rebuild.
Mr Pile says there will be a staff meeting tomorrow morning.
"It's unfortunate for Mainzeal but as far as the earthquake recovery goes they're a relatively small player, in terms of the total contruction capacity available."
Mr Pile says MWH Mainzeal will work with the receiver to come to agreeable terms.
"If we can't come to an agreement with receiver then MWH has got the ability under the contract to take over and self-perform the whole thing."
Still, the receivership will be a jolt for Christchurch businesses as it was thought the rebuild was taking off.
One shocked company owner, who claims to be owed more than $250,000 by Mainzeal, told NBR ONLINE: "The thing is, now [the receivers have been called in] they will be paid and the bank will be paid but we won't."

Disappointing to read this in the paper and not to hear it from Richina. Why hasn't Richard Yan been communicating with Richina's shareholders?
Totally agree with Richina shareholders thoughts, also Mainzeal home page also hasn't been updated with information or even a press release about this
Wonder, what does it say about Richina as a whole, when the other entities in the group can't prop up Mainzeal? It looks like it's being ring fenced in preparation for being cast adrift.
Mainzeal has recently finished building a new boarding house for St Andrews College, last company I would have thought to go under.
Same arrogant Richard Yan who boasted he knew how to do business in China, but that proved to be a figment of his imagination.
Never mind the shareholders, the management and staff haven't even been told yet! We heard it first from a friend at the newspaper.
That's just typical of the Mainzeal communication and direction over the last few years headed by Peter Gomm. Mismanagment of this company has caused its failure, not the ecomomic climate. The core construction business made money and had future workload, but pipedreams drained the company.
Agreed. Perhaps the Vineyard on Waiheke wasn't the smartest move. The downturn in the climate was pushed hard by Peter Gomm as the reason for the redundancies last year and even again last week. Sure to be more dirty laundry aired soon enough. Questionable motives as a director of King Facade being the elephant in the corner of the room..
Construction - it's like heroine'. Absolutely fantastic when there is plenty of good gear around, but when there is a shortage you'd sell your own arm for a hit.
Couldn't care less about Mainzeal as a company or, its director(s), only that its employees' wages and its creditors are paid in full. Bad management, full stop.
I'm pleased I sold my shareholding well before the delisting and made good money.
They couldn't run a bath ... just look at what happened with Vector.
To some extent saw it coming, just never really believed it could happen. Finding out by email 2 hours after it was in the media I did expect as that's how the company operated, with no internal communication. This has far far wider reaching consequences for suppliers and subcontractors. One of whom has already said he will have to sell his house to cover the losses..... sad day.
No wonder Shipley and Collins abandoned ship in December, only two months ago. They didn't know what was going on - yeah, right.
If they didn't know what was going on, they should not have been occupying the positions. Just haymaking while the weather is good!
Politicians don't know how to run a monopoly (government). It should be no surprise they can't foot it in a competitive market place.
Sell signal - ex-MP being appointed to the board.
At the end, all sub-contractors suffer the most.
Think you will find it's everyone involved, including employees, who will suffer, not just subs. Everone has bills to pay.
Ahh, but the difference is the employee will be paid before any unsecured creditor whereas the subbie will get nothing. I'm sure we will see sub-contractors fall over becuase of this and more people lose their jobs and everything else they own. Another good example of the Constructions Contracts Act not working for the sub-contractors, I bet.
But employees might only lose their job and be out of pocket for a month or two, and they have some limited statutory protection. Subbies can be owed serious cash if they've kept working without getting paid (arguably their own fault, but not unusual to be owed, say two months' work, which could be $100,000 or more in some cases).
Hey, this is just such awful news for us all. Mainzeal has been a fabulously positive and open construction company that has completed a whole lot of great projects.
Right across the country, and especially in Wellington, they have completed very successful major projects. Some of their senior project managers are as good as any in the business.
Obviously something has gone wrong at the top, but you have feel for all those highly capable and committed staff who are the backbone of the company.
Outside Auckland the Mainzeal teams were first class. Tthe achillies heel was always the Auckland area and the corporate upstarts. A very sad day indeed!! Let Peter Gomm be remembered for this iconic company falling over under his watch.
You need to understand that these people came to help rebuild a city not sink your company. You need to look a bit closer to home. You don't understand the scale that these professional people have worked on in there passed projects overseas.
Shipley and Collins knew what was going on all right. Mainzeal could never be trusted as far as you could kick them. Just look at the leaky building claims filed against them.
Any company that employs that many useless Poms will always sink!
Is that you John WIlliams???
You pr*ck. Us Poms, as you put it - most us gave up full-time jobs, and pay at a better rate than here, and only came to help will the rebuild in Christchurch.
The senior management, who are Kiwis, are cr*p and so far up their own a*ses, that they could not organise a p*ss-up in a brewery.
I've worked for a number of large construction companies and find that most imports come here with superior 'screw the subbies' attitudes. You'll note that there aren't many Kiwis working for these organisations any more as most of us try to be honest, fair and try to build working relationships. I've yet to meet an import who feels they're going to be around long enough to bother with relationships. Before this collapse I had instructed my qs that we weren't to price any more jobs for Mainzeal after being treated like something the site imports had trod in. Excuse me for not being upset about you having to go home. If you'd like to contribute to the loss I've incurred with you assholes you might get some sympathy.
Anonymous' post should be framed and hung in the boardrooms of all the national contractors. The most pernicious current import blight is the infestation of Brits masquerading as "Health & Safety managers", with zero construction knowledge and zero use.
Most of the UK construction market still operate on margins of between 1 and 3 percent... Where the only way to increase profit is through VO's and often highly contentious and confrontational to get those VO's.
Under those circumstances/frameworks its no wonder the little guy gets totally screwed over. At least we have the Construction Contracts Act though.
I left MZ few months ago - since they had no good work, which states enough in this ChCh market.
But for the record, there were just as many useless Kiwis. The reason I moved on (and up) was since MZ had way too many inexpericenced Kiwis who had been there since day 0000, dragging the company down in this vibrant market! Although I think this issue is more related with Auckland than ChCh business.
Unbelievable. If a company like Mainzeal can go under so quickly it means very serious questions must be asked at the very least. This great recession isn't over yet. My concern is for the workers and theirr families as well as the creditors who have shelled out in support of a company they felt was solid. For how long were all these people decieved?
Nothing to do with the reccession. I'm a manufacturer in the building/construction indusrtry for 30 odd years,and its the worst recession I've ever known. You cut your cloth to suit your sails. I'm in Auckland and recently taken over the day to day managment of a business up to its eye-balls in debt, but now growing and about to take on more staff,.
Maybe they got out Before they had to pay Waitangi Tax.....
Hopefully NBR will look closely at how Mainzeal has restructured its assets over recent months.
It will be great to see whether the shareholder really did look after itself at the subcontractors expense.
Not one person feels for the company,its sad in this country that a company that employed thousands of people over the years go to the wall. Comments are whos fault it is.Read what happened then judge not mouth off in the first few hours or maybe you people are really clever then ring the recivers they will be pleased to hear from you..
I trust Mainzeal will be honouring commitments to us sub-contractors who are owed money. How can directors believe they can cease holding directorship one month before going into receivership and think they can get away with no liability.
The company has obviously been trading insolently for some time, which is illegal. I look forward to receiving all funds owed, as I have personal guarantees that must be honoured. If not, the past 20 years of my working life will have been wasted. Their director and former directors should loose their assets due to poor decision making, not mine.
Read the Companies Act 1993. Trading while insolvent is not an offence in NZ. The offences are trading recklessly (section 135) and taking on obligations without the means to meet them (section 136). These offences can occur even if the company was solvent. Thus the directors' responsibilities are much wider than merely ensuring the company is solvent, which is only a requirement for paying dividends or other distributions to shareholders. Unfortunately, the accounting and legal professions talk too loosely about insolvency in NZ.
OK, if what you're saying is correct they must have been trading recklessly as they obviously weren't solvent enough to meet contract obligations that they were signing subcontractors too. Either way, they must have some form of liability. These guys ruin more people's lives than the criminals who hit someone over the head and get 10 years.
Without checking the Act, (and I stand to be corrected), I thought trading whilst knowingly to be insolvent, is an offence under the Act..??
Appoint a liquidator and tell them to go for it. The liquidator will work out if the directors were out of line, not a receiver. The receiver just pays secured creditors.
Business is about taking risks. Risk means you might fail, it is the other side of making a profit. Everyone likes the profit but ignores that it always involves risk. Things can change on directors, that does not make them crooks.: appoint a liquidator and find out ..
Sorry to hear about your loss of jobs employees, but try losing $60k to these bunch of professionals.
I won't be doing any more more for any of the large construction companies as they expand their empires when the times are good and have no idea what measures need to be taken when times get tough.
These directors need to be tried for operating a insolvent business.
See my comments in reply to #21. The issue of insolvency is widely misunderstood in NZ.
NZ law allows this to happen far to easy, what a joke. They will be up and running again tomorrow. Where is the accountability?
It shows how bad a company is run when, after reading the events on Stuff, I shot down to site to pick up all my tools and was greeted by Mainzeal PM and staff. I told them what had happened. I felt sh*t and they felt worse. Shame on you, Mainzeal, shame.
An ex-primary school teacher and a wide boy who nearly sent BIL broke with the purchase of the Thistle hotel chain. Not exactly top-shelf leadership pedigree who were at the helm of Mainzeal, until a few months ago, when they jumped ship.
employee # 3 ?? Is that you, John Williams?
Mike Turner running projects along with senior qs knew months ago the company was in the sh*t. Disgraceful. I have lost $100k due 20 of this month. Wife, three kids and six employees. A*sehole Gomm.
Agree 100% the directors and former directors have to be tried. This affects so many subcontractors, supply firms and workers, in many cases ruining their lives. Let's see some director's wealth disappear!
Mainzeal has been trading for at least six months unable to pay their debts when they fell due. Mainzeal has juggled money, have stated they have hurt on the Siemens/Transpower -HV Power Project, which has impacted all subcontractors working for them around the country.
I would suggest the directors know far more as Mainzeal has been in trouble for some time. It's illegal to trade insolvently and directors have a duty under the Companies Act.
The impact on the NZ construction industry of this will be significant when it is already facing significant challenges.
Surely Mainzeal is too big to let fail as they will take hundreds of small subcontractor companies with them, just like when Hartner Construction failed.
Mainzeal has been in trouble for six mths. It has been talked about in the industry between subcontractors and money has been juggled around.
The Mainzeal South Island construction division was not a stellar performer. You only had to look at their website to see that they were only working on smaller projects and having to compete with firms a fraction of their size, without their elephantine overhead and inertia.
A number of their senior staff in Chch have jumped ship to Leigh's last year, taking their extensive knowledge of how to stiff arm subs and suppliers there. As a result, Leighs now have a number of subs / suppliers that don't work for them. Those staff must have known something.
Project wise, profit making was completely optional, and many of their recent staff imports didn't cut the mustard job-wise. There were a number of stinkers, but the best (worst) of them all was the Benmore HVDC project in 2011 that was a complete and utter shambles. It destroyed their credibility with Transpower and lost them a substantial fortune.
Well, what a job to unravel this mess. Poor old subbies suffer again. Receivers will be rubbing their gready little hands together. Keep your peepers on the receiver's updates, guys. Their fees will eat up every penny you are owed. No sleepless nights for the rats that ran from the sinking ship. Good luck subbies and suppliers. Aussie here we come!
Jenny Shipley as chairman. What a joke! Disgraceful to see a good company fail so badly.
As employees, we weren't even worth being told first, had to hear it on the radio. You f*ckers must of know this was coming. Shame on you Peter, shame on you Richard. How do you both sleep at night? I might be out of a job but our subcontractors could lose everything, you wa*nkers.
Nothing shocking here. Mainzeal have not had a good reputation for the last 20 years. Their senior management, at best, has been introspective and small-minded and the quality of workmanship has always suffered to the profit margin. This company was dead and just didn't know it. As for having Jenny Shipley on the board, bad mistake - a member of the same government that undermined trade training and support to this very day, to the detriment of all New Zealanders. Same government that turned health care into a bureaucratic money pit. Enough said!
And how much money does the parent company Richina have? Richard Yan should be made to clear all debts or bugger off back to China. Your name in NZ business is now shot! We employees may be out of a job but I really feel for the subcontractors who will lose their businesses.
Fletchers, the market is all yours...regrettably.
This will be a wake-up call for the whole construction industry that you can't buy jobs at 2-3% margin and then screw the subbies when you lose that margin because of Mainzeal stuff-ups. We always allowed a Mainzeal factor when pricing work to them because of their arrogant attitude towards us subbies. We are exposed for a couple of hundred k but will survive it. Hundreds won't and even though it's our opposition that will sink I feel sorry for them.
If Mainzeal can go under in this construction environment then this makes me a little nervous. I think there are bigger power players here steamrolling over the rest....
Staff, suppliers and sub-contractors all adversely affected - and some to a horrendous degree - so no wonder so many are feeling terribly bitter. Just to add to the laundry list, there are thousands such as myself who are depending on this crowd to manage the repair/rebuild of our severely earthquake damaged houses. We had already been told that work wouldn't commence until 2015! The insurers (Vero Group) will now have to re-negotiate a fresh contract with some other party, giving them another excuse for even further delays. Their performance to date has certainly given me no confidence in them, and it's now anybody's guess when we will get something done. What a shambles.
So glad I trusted the market chatter and stopped trading with these monkeys a few months back... Lost in excess of $400k when Hartners went under and still struggle to see Wayne acting like it never happened. As usual, it's the small honest businesses that will suffer here. Good luck to those that will really feel the impact.
The industry knew they had major problems with legal action being taken over leaky buildings. $40m claim against them at Botany Downs, plus about another 10 apartment blocks, reclad costs rumoured to be $5m to $15m each. Our lawyers advised us that Mainzeal were unlikely to be around when our leaky apartment building claim was heard but we filed in the High Court anyway - no need to pay lawyers any more! As a subbie I've lost over $150k. Tough when you are operating in a market with no margin.
Maybe the government needs to underwrite all funds associated with works in Christchurch due to the shaky construction sector. This government is propping up other organisations.
The days of subcontractors taking all the risk are over.
Mainzeal do have a lot of very good Kiwi guys and we have found them pretty good to work with the last three years, despite their cashflow problems over the last few months. Feel for their staff - lock up the directors.
I must agree that most UK import project managers and supervisors in all the major construction companies, including Fletcher's and Hawkins, treat subcontractors badly. Especially Hawkins - we will never work for them again, and we are one of the many as the word is spreading.
Time to wake up, Hawkins.
Typical mentality - always blame the builder. Don't agree with how Mainzeal have dealt with this but they were a great company to work for. There definitely wasn't a screw the subby culture just a tough market to win work and no margins. Subbys choose to take on tight projects. What people don't know about Vector Arena is that the local govt made them do it as Hawkins withdrew their offer. It was always a sinking ship but how do you say no to a major client and future work.
"Future income"... Oh, the irony.
Anyone looking for work move to Aus!
Gee whizz, who was prime minister when cr*p buildings were going up all over Auckland?
Goodness, so much innovation and leading-edge thinking in this town. Next thing we'll be having real building codes and building inspectors to enforce them. Such silliness!
Should never let Martin Fahey go...
Don't forget Shipley also lowered the drinking age to 18. A real achiever.
Mainzeal was a real company under Peter Menzies and Alan Coutts. This new breed, Gomm and Yan, have no experience, and the same must go for the spineless board.
Can we expect a raft of class action lawsuits to be filed against the executives of this lamentable company and its directors, Messrs Yan, Shipley, Collins and Tilby ?
Interesting ... according to Companies Office, Jenny Shipley and the others leaving the sinking 'Mainzeal' ship, did so on 5th February 2013 at 15:20 in the afternoon.
Check it out.
My $363k invoice is worth less than a toilet paper.
Apparently a shareholder pulled $10m out few months back. He has effectively stolen all of our money.
He is as bad as these finance company guys.
Mainzeal building uncertainy.We worked on Geyser first 6 green star rated building in NZ and only one.Job completion was March they where still going for it in September under penalties all that time.King Facade stuffed them around and they spent too much time digging out and forming carpark on site.Macreenie had the Job originally with MZ undercutting to get the project and bought in a host of Asians to do glazing.Took too long and lost a packet and organisational skills poor.
So between Vector Arena, Scene Apartments, Geyser building and the leaky buildings, it sounds like the site and project management and subbies over the last 5-10 years stuffed the company, not the senor mgmt. Shame of the the staff of Mainzeal - you guys b*tching above need to look in the mirror??

To the editor:
I read with great interest the article in the Fall 2000 Army Communicator that talks about 58th Signal Battalion's training in jungle skills with the Marines. Many in the past have objected to this type of training for Signal soldiers, since it takes away valuable training time from critical military-occupation-specialty training, which is the main reason for having a Signal Regiment.
I for one have no objection to "adventure training" for Signal troops. All soldiers need to have survival skills – and rappeling, first aid, weapons and chicken- and goat-killing/eating are all part of that. At the same time, Signal commanders are missing a great opportunity to train in hard-to-experience combat-communications skills.
During this type of training, if Signal soldiers aren't transporting combat-net radios (high frequency, very-high frequency, satellite communications), antennas, power sources or data-transmission devices, and establishing and keeping a communications-net schedule, then a tremendous opportunity to learn combat-communications skills under extreme circumstances is being missed.
After all, almost anyone can chop the head off a chicken or slaughter a goat. Our role in the Army is to have the skills needed to keep the fighting lines of communications open – while also being able to survive alongside the warfighters.
In my opinion, the next time 58th Signal Battalion or anyone else does this type of training, they should take with them their handheld and manpack equipment, learn how to make antennas and employ them in the jungle/woods/etc., and establish ground-to-ground, ground-to-air and reachback communications. Then and only then will this type of training be worth something to the Signal Regiment. Meanwhile, pass the jungle-roast chicken, please.

|Spoiler role unfamiliar and unwanted for No. 9 Oklahoma in Big 12 title game
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 28 November 2007 11:10
Two weeks after Oklahoma's national title hopes faded away on the West Texas plains, the No. 9 Sooners (10-2, 6-2) find themselves with only one stake in deciding the BCS title: spoiling top-ranked Missouri's shot at its first national championship.
``Usually you hear about an unranked team or somebody playing the spoiler against Oklahoma,'' said Kelly, who grew up as a Texas fan but signed on as a Sooners wide receiver because he thought his chances at a title would be better. ``It's just a bad deal, but we can't change it.''
The Sooners aren't accustomed to the role they'll play Saturday in San Antonio. It's the first time in six Big 12 title game appearances that they'll be the lower-ranked team, and only the seventh time since they won the 2000 national championship that their opponent will have a higher ranking. Oklahoma is 2-4 in those games, including losses to LSU and Southern California in the BCS title game.
``We're going after a Big 12 championship. There isn't anything spoiling about that,'' Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. ``That in itself is what we're after. That's where it begins with us every season, and we've got another chance to do it. There's nothing to it other than that for us.
``Spoiler roles are those teams that are 5-6 and are trying to knock somebody out of something and they don't have anything. To me, those teams don't have a chance at it and they're trying to knock you out. We've got a chance at something really special.''
Oklahoma was in position to play for something even more special before quarterback Sam Bradford sustained a concussion two weeks ago at Texas Tech and had to leave the game in the first quarter. The Sooners' defense didn't respond, and backup quarterback Joey Halzle's bid to dig the team out of a 24-point hole fell short in a 34-27 loss. Otherwise, the Sooners would be playing for a spot in the BCS championship game just like Missouri (11-1, 7-1).
``What happened happened, and we still have a lot in front of us,'' center Jon Cooper said. ``We don't need to focus on that now.''
Instead, the Sooners have honed in on trying to become the first team ever to repeat as Big 12 champions. They've won the title a league-best four times in 2000, 2002, 2004 and last season. Their other title game appearance was in 2003, when Kansas State upset a top-ranked Oklahoma team, a defeat that still wasn't enough to knock the Sooners out of the BCS title game against LSU.
Missouri won't be in the same situation. A loss by the Tigers would likely put Ohio State in the national championship game.
``If we win this game, we can sit back for a couple of weeks and say, 'We're No. 1 and we're playing for the national championship,''' Tigers defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams said. ``Right now, you can't think about that at all.''
Oklahoma has been in Missouri's position several times before. Oklahoma State knocked the Sooners out of the national title picture in the last game of the regular season in 2001, but Oklahoma won the Big 12 title game in 2000 and 2004 to reach the national title game was able to sustain K-State's upset in 2003.
Doing that to another team doesn't seem to provide the Sooners any additional joy.
``We really don't care about that. We just care about winning the game,'' tailback Allen Patrick said. ``We ain't focused on how things are going to play out for them or whatever else they've got going for themselves. We just care about winning the game.''
Oklahoma will be seeking its first win against a No. 1 team since 2000 and actually enters the game slightly favored by oddsmakers despite looking like an underdog in the polls.
``If we're favored or not, I think our mentality is the same as a team,'' receiver Juaquin Iglesias said. ``Just if we execute well, we feel like we can win. That's what we're going to go on, we're not going to go on any other outside stuff. We're just going to try to take care of us.''

Tina Brown Talks About The Book Beast
Over at FishbowlNY, editor and Daily Beast founder Tina Brown talked about her newest project–a books site.
"Distressed" with shrinking books coverage and struggling publishers, Brown hopes that this new outlet will help fill the gaps. The site features reviews, video interviews, aggregated content, and articles. Book blogger Maud Newton is a contributor.
Here's more from the interview: "In England we used to do many more book excerpts in the newspaper every day. I think so many books are published with fabulous content and there's very little place for a good book excerpt to go. It's a great way to sample and taste a book and decide whether you want to buy it or not."

Quit using the government as a stick with which to beat your enemies, then complaining when they turn around and use it to beat on you.
What nonsense! That's about like saying that if your brother takes a hammer to your bedroom walls, you should get rid of the hammer instead of doing something about your psycho brother.

I choose the former, Republicans choose the latter, and you choose to throw away the tool.
How did this get labeled Insightful? The Federal Government is requiring many Catholic organizations to provide contraception in the policies they provide their employees. Because these organizations pay at least partially for these policies, they are being required to pay for contraception. The slimy move to say it doesn't have to be in the policy, but has to be provided for free it just bull and every one knows it.
I have less than zero sympathy, because I was forced to pay for the invasion of Iraq, with all the subsequent aftermath of at least 4 million people displaced from their homes, hundreds of thousands killed, worse living conditions than before, and women's rights brought down to the standard of other countries in the region.
And I'm supposed to support Catholic organizations' mission to deny birth control coverage for their employees? Not gonna happen.

WASHINGTON — The head of the US Naval Academy rejected suggestions Friday that political pressure influenced him in pursuing sexual assault charges against a football player at the school.
Vice Admiral Michael Miller, the school's superintendent, dismissed the suggestions of a lawyer for the student while testifying for more than three hours in a military courtroom in Washington. His appearance was part of a hearing ahead of a scheduled trial for the student, Joshua Tate of Nashville.

Very, very good! This was my first attempt at making yeasted bread, so I was a little nervous about committing to bringing rolls for Easter, but they turned out great! Everyone loved them. The dough is VERY sticky, but I was able to roll them up. They sure weren't as pretty as the picture, but they looked nice enough for a family brunch. A big hit. I would definitely make these again, maybe playing around with the herbs some.
No-Knead Overnight Parmesan and Thyme Rolls

These were a great accompaniment to a pasta dinner, and it was a special treat to have homemade bread. I liked that the prep work was done the night before, and the flavor was good. We used fresh thyme from our garden. Will definitely make these again!
Jessie123 Posted: 04/16/10
I thought these were dry and not very favorful. We added honey to give it a little more flavor.
lilyfaebride Posted: 04/04/10
Delicious! Relatively easy to make, I didn't add the extra flour and I should have. The dough was a little to sticky to roll so mine weren't as pretty as they should have been but they sure tasted good. I'd make a double batch next time.
JessicaLuu Posted: 06/07/10
Seemed intimidating at first, but they really are easy and quick to make. My only caveat is that the dough will be very sticky, so make sure you flour the surface you roll them out on very well, or the dough will stick. I make these with Spaghetti with Sausage and Simple Tomato Sauce, and they are a huge hit. My husband was so impressed that I didn't buy these.
crazyjane Posted: 12/23/10
this is a really good and easy recipe. Sometimes we substitute Herbs de Provance for the thyme. We also add roasted garlic sometimes. Really yummy! Good for any occasion.
HelloSunshine1 Posted: 03/26/11
The flavor is very good. However, I need help from the other reviewers. The yeast never seemed to bubble even though it was in date and the water was warm enough. Went to the store and got more yeast. Not really sure if it truly bubbled. Used all but 1/2 to 1 T of the flour. The egg might have sat out too long since I had to go to the store. The dough made up into a sticky dough, but never rose. Does anyone know what might have gone wrong? The rolls cooked up fairly well, not roll shaped, but still good to eat.
EllenFL Posted: 04/25/11
Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. I served these with CL's "Glorious Easter Menu" with ham, deviled eggs, carrot soup, roasted potatoes with artichokes, strawberries and cream and salad and this was the most difficult course! I am not a baker. My yeast didn't bubble even tho it was fresh. And the instructions say not to add extra flour or it will be dry but this was so sticky you have to! The taste was OK, a little dry, but everyone liked having homemade bread and it smelled good. Nothing like the presentation and all different sizes!!
SingingGourmand Posted: 05/27/13
They taste utterly sinful! A huge hit - they disappeared immediately.
Beth911 Posted: 03/13/13
The whole family loved these - especially the kids. It may defeat the purpose of the "overnight" but I found the easiest way for me to do this was to put the ingredients in my breadmaker on the dough setting (I did end up adding 1-2Tbs of flour while it was kneading). When it was finished I removed the dough, rolled it out and continued with the recipe. They came out wonderful and looked very much like the picture. I have tried this before the way that it calls for but like everyone else it tasted good but didn't look so good. Also with the way I did it this time it easily made 12 good sized rolls.
Carisa58 Posted: 03/18/13
These rolls are utterly delicious, even though my first effort did not rise as highly and prettily as in the picture. It may have had something to do with the fact that I forgot to reduce the oven temperature when I put the rolls in the oven, so they may have baked a little too quickly. But I do think that the dough was a little too liquid and I do intend to add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of flour next time or reduce the milk by 1 or 2 tablespoons. I think that would help to define the 'roll-up lines'. My yeast never bubbled either (I tried 3 different packets) and after researching it online, I think that you have to add sugar to the yeast and water to make it bubble. Did the recipe writer actually test that step??? Other than that, they are easy to make and very more-ish. I made them for a dinner party and would definitely make them again.
KHallAllison Posted: 11/15/12
Made these last night. They tasted great, but mine looked nothing like the picture. Because the dough was so sticky, there were no real separations in the layers - the cut rolls kind of sunk together on the pan and looked a little like puffy pancakes. Any ideas on how to get them to be prettier without adding more flour and making them dry?

Power finished 0.3308 seconds ahead of Graham Rahal on the bumpy, 13-turn, 2.36-mile street circuit on Belle Isle. He started a season-worst 16th and took the lead for good with just more than 10 laps to go when he passed Ryan Briscoe.
"There's no way we thought we would come from 16th to win," he said. "But this is IndyCar and anything can happen."
The Australian held off Rahal to join Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay as the series' drivers with two victories through six races. Power pulled within three points of Hunter-Reay, IndyCar's points leader.
Power, who won IndyCar's season-opening race, has 23 career victories to break a tie with Emerson Fittipaldi and Tony Bettenhausen and to match Tommy Milton for 18th on the all-time list.
His latest victory was especially sweet for Penske and Chevy.
Penske had not won an open-wheel race in the area he calls home since Helio Castroneves finished first in 2001.
"It's sure a great piece of satisfaction for me to see this happen," Penske acknowledged.

New Banking Regulation Framework During The Crisis Period
AbstractLooking on long-term, as we think about what is needed to avoid future crises, it is clear that better analysis of and response to macroprudential problems – problems which lie at the interface between macroeconomic policy and financial system regulation – will be vital. In the future, regulators need to do more sector analysis and be more willing to make judgments about the sustainability of the whole business models, not just about the quality of their execution. Central banks and regulators between them need to integrate macro-economic analysis with macro-prudential analysis, and to identify the combination of measures which can take away the punch bowl before the party gets out of hand. Alongside that more effective macro-prudential analysis, we also need however, more effective approaches to the regulations which govern the financial system. That regulation needs to be designed in the light of how the system we are regulating is likely to evolve.

Clippers sign Collison, Barnes, Hollins
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers signed point guard Darren Collison, forward Matt Barnes and center Ryan Hollins on Wednesday. Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not announced.
According to a report several days ago, the deal for Collison is for two years and the Clippers are using a portion of their mid-level salary cap exception to sign the former standout at UCLA who averaged 12.0 points and 5.1 assists while starting 47-of-81 games with the Dallas Mavericks last season.
Collison will presumably replace Eric Bledsoe, whom the Clippers agreed to trade to Phoenix earlier in the week as part of a three-team deal that landed shooters J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley in Los Angeles, as the backup to All- Star Chris Paul, who signed an extension through the 2017-18 season earlier on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old also served as Paul's understudy during his rookie campaign with the New Orleans Hornets in 2009-10 before being traded to Indiana, where he spent two seasons as the Pacers' starting point guard. Collison was then moved to Dallas last July and began the year as the Mavericks' starter, but did not receive a qualifying offer from the team as a restricted free agent as Dallas attempted to clear cap space for an unsuccessful bid at luring Dwight Howard.
Over his four NBA seasons, Collison has averaged 12.1 points, 5.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 36 percent from 3-point range.
Barnes, 33, averaged a career-high 10.3 points in 2012-13 to go along with 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes in 80 games with the Clippers last season.
Another UCLA product, Barnes has played for eight teams over his stay in the NBA and has averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 640 games (182 starts).
Hollins, 28, signed with the Clippers prior to the start of last season and over 60 games he averaged 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in just over 11 minutes.
A second-round selection of Charlotte out of UCLA in 2006, Hollins has averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds over 374 games with Charlotte, Dallas, Minnesota, Cleveland, Boston and the Clippers.

Maddie is born and Moki is OK
and the future for this very moment
looks bright. We begin a brand new day
with fresh new hopes and much light comment,
we dream of all the days that have gone by,
we dream of all the days that are to come,
and all past mistakes now may
be seen as irrelevant and no one
can imagine anything but good
coming from ten tiny fingers and toes.
So we hold our breath and knock on wood,
for the future coming clad in roses.
Maddie is born and Moki is OK
and my life is blessed for another day.

When the New York Public Library released Biblion last year, it properly wowed iPad users interested in inventive ways of presenting information. Alexis Madrigal at the Atlantic proclaimed it a model for the magazine apps of the future. So far, though — nearly a year later — there hasn't been another issue.
The theme of the premier issue is the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. The library signed on to get all materials pertaining to the event right from the very beginning, so it's a fabulous trove of documents, correspondence, blueprints, sketches, photographs, short films, even a menu or two.
The only way to read Biblion is to wander through it, an experience that more than one observer likened to meandering around the fair itself. It's an impressive emulation, as well, of rummaging through a good archive or taking in a museum exhibit. If you care about women at the fair (scantily-clad ones were a major attraction), or the Czech Pavilion as a commemoration of a republic that fell to the Nazis while the exhibition being built, or what the staff uniforms looked like, or the story of the African-American composer who wrote the music for the Democracity exhibit inside the fair's giant dome, you can head straight for that and then fork off in other directions later. Navigation is complex, but after a while you get the hang of it.
The material is clustered around short, well-written essays, and this, as well, seems ideally suited to the material. I wouldn't call Biblion a model for the tablet magazines of the future, however, because it doesn't offer one of the primary things magazine features and books provide, which is the order of linearity. Making sense of raw facts, pointing out strands of cause and effect, conveying which bits of information mean more than others: These are some of the meaning-making services that writers and editors perform. It's a mistake — one often made by unreflective technoevangelists — to assume that linearity's role in that service is no more than a vexing constraint imposed by the print medium.
For a subject like the 1939 World's Fair, however, the reader's freedom to browse through the app's content at will is exactly the right format. Biblion is spectacularly produced with clever little animations and nice touches like a rotating set of opening images and suggestions for which topic to visit next.
It must have cost a fortune to produce, which makes me fear the library will never get around to assembling another issue. (The web version of Biblion has a collection of stuff on Percy and Mary Shelley up at the moment, but no iPad version seems pending.) I hope that's not the case, because the access Biblion provides to the world's great library collections is one of the most exciting possibilities of tablet computers.

@Moladun: Of course it's an excuse. And no, it doesn't work for 10s. But the type of player who wants to go into LFR and be carried is also the guy who will go, "I don't have 10 minutes to research the basics of my class" or "I don't have 5minutes to read the dungeon journal". In other words, the guy who's too lazy to find a casual guild (and might be too lazy to learn how to do decent dps).

Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

Ad tip of the month:
First, focus on your headline
For your ad to be effective (i.e., get results), focus first on your headline. Sometimes ads will have a headline such as Ayurveda or Puja Articles or New Hindu Charity. These are titles; they tell us what category the ad fits into, and that's all. But your headline needs to do more than that. It needs to engage the reader. The headline pictured on the left, as humble and simple at it is, is actually excellent. It does the job.
And remember: we're here to help with your ad's concept, wording and design.
Advertisers of the month:
The art of cultivating contentment
Santosh and Karuna Krinsky have been happy Hinduism Today advertisers since the mid-80s. They are life-long Sri Aurobindo devotees and they love to philosophize. But for them, philosophy is more than just words and concepts. It consists in paying a whole lot of attention to how they live. "Marriage is our sadhana," proclaims Karuna. More...
Founder on contentment
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, founder of Hinduism Today said this of contentment:
To be santosha (content) is to be peaceful in any situation. Santosha is a spiritual power. And it is there, inside you, and needs to be brought out."
Hinduism Today
goes to Washington
On june 4, publisher of Hinduism Today, Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, was invited to give the opening prayer in the House of Representatives. It was only the third time a Hindu had given the opening prayer at a session of congress. Watch here.
Be sure to continue to watch after the prayer and through the pledge of allegiance. Because, right after, Representative Ed Royce gives the assembly a bio of the satguru, his work and the worldwide influence of Hinduism Today.
Yes, your magazine brought forward into the halls of Congress!
Now, there's an ad!
How much time and care should you give to your ad's concept and execution? Normally, we would say give it as much as you can, it'll be worth it. But is there a limit? Here's an extreme example—with magnificent and most delightful result. Take a look.

Jan 26, 2007
We are fortunate to have Shambhala Day on a Sunday this year Sunday 18 February. This makes it possible for every Shambhala Centres to host a wonderful gathering of practitioners, friends and families for a day of celebration and generosity. Please make a special effort to attend this year. Many centres include special activities for families and children.
The day will begin at most centres with the community practice of the "Elixir of Life" (often known as the "Birthday Sadhana"). There will also be a showing of the latest Shambhala Day film. This year the half-hour film includes reports from the Blossoming of the Sun festival (the wedding of the Sakyong and Khando Tseyang), the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Great Stupa, the opening of the new Shambhala Centre in Hamburg, Germany, and highlights of all Shambhala Centres in North America.
We will have the traditional international roll call in which all centres participate. That will start at Noon Atlantic Standard Time. This is the prelude to the Sakyong's address to the mandala.
To ensure proper broadcast quality, the Sakyong will be recording his message to be broadcast to us while he and Khandro Tseyang are in India for the wedding festival hosted by the Ripa family in Orissa. We will see if the group of some 80 Shambhala pilgrims visiting sacred sites en route to the wedding can join us by phone from Bhubaneshwar, the state capital of Orissa.
Details for the international hook-up have been sent to all centres. If your centre did not receive these, please contact:
This is the day everyone is invited to make a generous contribution to the financial well-being of Shambhala as a whole.
In Europe donations go to support the tremendous efforts of Shambhala Europe and Dechen Choling. In a letter to Shambhalians throughout Europe, director Chris Tamdjidi writes: "As it says in the Shambhala teachings, when we have fearlessness and genuineness, cultivate discipline of body, speech and mind, as individuals or as a community, we raise our windhorse. When we do so, we attract the blessings of auspiciousness, and the golden rain of richness descends."
In North America, everyone is receiving a letter from President Reoch, inviting every Shambhala household to offer a regular monthly contribution of $10 a month to the central services of the mandala. Recurring donations like this on a mass scale would lay the basis for a stable financial future and help fund the many activities listed at the end of the report he posted after his recent tour of all centres.
"When I went to so many Shambhala Centres at the end of last year, people asked me what they could do to help the centre of our mandala," he says in his letter. "Our ability to serve you would be completely transformed if every Shambhala household in North America made a regular, recurring donation of $10 to the centre of the mandala. My goal is to reach this tipping point on Shambhala Day this year."
His report and list of activities is highlighted (President's Tour Report 2006) on the search engine of the Shambhala website:

EASTON, Md.- Easton police are looking for a suspect who tried to rob the High's convenience store on Elliott Road.
The incident occurred at around 10 p.m. Saturday. Store employees stated that a male suspect entered the store, approached one of the clerks and demanded money while motioning to his waist, to indicate he was armed. Before that clerk could respond, the suspect went to the back of the store and confronted another clerk and demanded money. This clerk told the suspect "no." The suspect then walked out of the store empty-handed.
Both clerks told police that the suspect appeared very nervous and attempted to conceal his face with his shirt. There were no reported injuries.
The suspect was additionally described as white, unknown age, tall, large build and a fair complexion. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and possibly a blue or purple jacket.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call the Easton Police Department at (410) 822-1111 or the department's tip line at (410) 763-6140.
