A Whangarei racehorse trainer who failed to care for his two
horses has been disqualified from owning horses and ordered
to pay for the cost of nursing them back to full health.
Derek Allen, 44, of Ruakaka will spend three months on
community detention and under curfew from 7pm to 5am every
day for the duration of that sentence.
Animal welfare agency SPCA laid charges against him: failure
to alleviate pain or distress of an ill animal; reckless
ill-treatment of an animal and failure to comply with his
obligation in relation to the physical, health and
behavioural needs of an animal.
He defended the charges at a judge-alone trial in the
Whangarei District Court and was found guilty on all except
Allen appeared for sentencing yesterday.
He works as a track rider for Logan Racing and has worked in
the industry for 27 years.
The charges he faced related to a standard-bred, 10-year-old
trotter mare and another 10-year-old thoroughbred flat racer
Two SPCA officers visited a paddock on Marsden Pt Rd in
Ruakaka on August 30, 2011 and found low and poor quality
grass, an empty bathtub by a gate and four empty plastic
One horse was thin and its hooves were overgrown.
Another animal was extremely thin, all the rib, hip and
spinal bones were clearly visible. It had overgrown and
cracked hooves and hair loss.
The animals were removed from the paddock on the advice of
veterinarian Angus Campbell and taken to a foster property in
Maungatapere where they went immediately to the trough and
drank for several minutes.
Dr Campbell said the thoroughbred mare was starved during a
period of weeks and he considered the animal wouldn't have
survived any longer in the circumstances.
He said the case was on par with animals he had seen dying in
extreme drought conditions.
The hooves of both horses were trimmed and both made a full
recovery before they were returned to Allen.
In court yesterday, Judge Greg Davis said given Allen's
extensive experience in the horse racing industry and his
close proximity to the paddock where the horses were kept, it
wasn't a burdensome task for him to look after the animals.
He said Allen's disqualification only from owning animals for
one year wouldn't prevent him from working in the industry
under supervision.
Allen was ordered to pay the SPCA reparation of $1583 for the
cost of feed and veterinarian care.
He was also ordered to pay $452 for costs towards

The joy that we might normally feel in this season of Thanksgiving is tempered by sadness in the wake of violence. But the privilege and responsibility of gratitude may be the most powerful counter to these negative forces — whether embodied in a loving gesture, or through the appreciation of art.

To sketchnote Krista's conversation with the Dalai Lama's principal English translator requires many of the same qualities he embodies: attention, compassion, focus, humility, action. No small feat.

Plenty of HR uses for social media
Last Wednesday, I was in beautiful Edmonton speaking at the Human Resources Institute of Alberta's conference: HR360. I created a unique exercise where each table, who had novice to expert users, were forced to create a recruiting strategy on a specific social media that ranged from Facebook to Flickr. More on the results later, as I believe the exercise created multiple blog posts. But I often find when speaking to audiences that everyone has a unique definition of social media, and this is exactly what fascinates me on the social media, and its impact on Human Resources. A recruiter might tend to have a simple equation, "LinkedIn = head hunt", whereas a senior HR practioner may have an opinion of "Social Media = Waste" from their personal experience at the dinner table with their children. I know my former girlfriend, for example, thinks social media is a great way to stalk me, but more on that later.
The term "social media" covers a wide range of websites, including personal social networks such as Facebook and MySpace; professional networks such as LinkedIn and Xing; micromedia tools such as Twitter and Foursquare; blogs; video distribution sites such as YouTube; as well as wikis and internal collaboration networks.
Despite the ubiquity of social media, many organizations outside of the technology sector have been slow to adopt social networking as part of business strategy. Social media can be used in every part of the HR strategy, from recruiting to employee engagement to labour relations to organizational development to total rewards. Too many HR departments aren't using social media to its full potential as part of an overall HR strategy and consider sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as just flashes in the pan, sure to disappear in a couple of years. While the popularity and growth of early social media sites such as MySpace and Friendster have fizzled, Facebook, which launched in 2004, has created a strong business model with advertising and hit the 600-million user mark in December 2010, making it the most popular social networking site in the world.
LinkedIn, a professional social networking site, has also developed a profitable business model with the creation of premium accounts. As of March 2011, the site had reached 100 million members and saw a $161-million profit in 2010. There are 1.2 billion total Internet users around the world and in February 2010 alone there were more than one billion unique visitors to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter, according to data from marketing research company comScore. These sites aren't going anywhere and are likely to continue to grow in popularity and profitability.
Social media is more than just another communication tool. These sites create communities where like-minded individuals can come together to connect. The HR applications for social media are vast, both internally and externally. From an employer marketing perspective, social media allows an organization to reach out to a large yet specific audience, such as graduates of a particular program at specific schools. It allows for a transparent, two-way dialogue between an organization and a targeted audience.
And a social media marketing campaign, whether for employment or sales purposes, is often a lot less expensive than traditional media campaigns. If it garners a lot of buzz from users, the campaign can go viral as users from your targeted audience pass it along to friends outside of the network. And this can lead to traditional news media coverage, something organizations are always trying to figure out how to get.
LinkedIn allows HR to see who is working for competitors, and what kind of skills and background they have, and can be used as a recruiting tool. While a picture is worth 1,000 words, video is worth millions and the power of YouTube allows organizations to create brand awareness across the Internet. Social media can also be used to increase organizational effectiveness and employee productivity. Organizations can use Facebook to arrange mentoring programs across different locations and time zones, for campus recruiting or to broadcast social events to current and potential employees.
Internal networks, such as the Twitter like Yammer, allow employees across an organization to collaborate and innovate. These networks can highlight experts within an organization so employees know who to turn to when they have a question. Connecting people who don't usually work together increases diversity of thought, which breeds innovation. It can save time on projects because people can collaborate across geographies and time zones, instead of having to meet in the same physical location at one time.
Social networks also provide a space where employees who completed a training program together can continue to learn, even after the training, by sharing how they have applied their newly learned skills in real-world situations. It's important to learn how to use the tools and begin to formulate a social HR strategy for the day when the organization is ready. Social media is here to stay and HR departments and organizations that don't adopt the technology will be left behind.
Every week I will be blogging a few times on set topics from my book, Social HR, and trends we at Careerify are seeing. That being said, feel free to ask me questions on topics concerning to you, and I will do my best to shed some insight.

Residents of Park Central Retirement Community in Amarillo reflected on their mothers as Mother's Day approached. Their comments reveal how motherhood can make -- or break -- the human heart.
"I'm sure my mother gave me lots of advice, but it didn't do any good."
Thelma Seibel, 104
"You could close one eye and still see all of Nara Visa, N.M., (where he was born). You couldn't even buy a rose, there were no flower shops. The purpose now is to sell flowers and gifts, but that's not the way it used to be.
"I think what we're talking about is love. I didn't have to learn it, I saw it every day. And I'll tell you something about how much my mother loved me. When I was about 10 or 12, I needed a mother, someone to talk to. Dad and I were good friends, but we never got down to boy things, but mother could. But mother, you see, was a religious zealot and that was awful for a boy who needed his mother.
"If we talked for very long, she'd swing over to the Bible and all that. I said one day, 'I don't ever want to hear about the Bible again.' And she didn't even blink. She never brought it up again. But, it didn't hurt our relationship. In fact, it made it better because she was there for me. That's love, because the Bible was important to her, but she didn't hold it against me because I didn't want to hear about it. She never missed a beat. I was a free agent. I remember the love that was there."
He also remembers a mother in his hometown that not even Hallmark has a card for.
"We had one lady of the night, but she had two of the sweetest daughters you ever saw. She wasn't a bad lady, but she lived separate of course, because of her occupation. She wasn't a bad mother. That was the way she had to make a living. Her girls grew up just fine. Back then, I think whiskey was the basis of a lot of problems."
Larry Jarrett, 82
"Mother was a pioneer lady who grew up with everything in Iowa. And she married my dad, who had this little farm in Panhandle. She influenced me to love the Bible and love literature, and I guess it took, because I became a librarian. We had tea parties on her good china. We took turns saying, 'Let's play this way.' She'd read to me, things that were a little advanced, and I'd fall asleep.
"Mother's Day has mixed emotions for me, and I have a hard time with it. I loved my mother dearly but my son died of dust pneumonia at 2 in Pampa. He didn't make it. It was just before they had sulfa drugs. Sometimes a room would be filled with dust, and they couldn't breathe. That's why they hung wet sheets around the bed. His little heart just gave out."
Genevieve Lusby, 89

This Saturday represents a chance to get off to a strong start with your back to school shopping, including the only original 1988 Air Jordan III colorway that didn't retro during the shoe's 23rd anniversary in 2011. The 'Fire Red' Jordan 3 is also the only pair of Threes with an all-black Elephant print, as this particular edition went 'tonal' before we had a word for it. We're right around the corner from the August 3rd release date at retailers like Nohble, or you can bypass all the lines and snag a pair now on eBay.

2nd favorite CW of the 3's. Hope I'm able to grab a pair. Luv the 3's.
Beautiful colorway but I'd rather get the Fire Red 5s.
i"ll get em just cuz i love the 3's.but i kno these will crack just as bad as the previous release
Too clean!
cop copt insta cop robo cop what ever u wana call it. shitz copt
this is a super dope og colorway i remember back in 2010 watching videos of the 07s hopping to get a pair. now is my chance.
prob not gonna cop
Coppin' these fo sho....last pair until the Holiday season releases
Definite cop.
These are a dope classic. Some guy on twitter alleged that he wore them once and showed a pic with massive cracking. Hope he's wrong or just got a bad pair
@JManSam You never really know. My Bred IVs cracked on the first wear and my Military IVs were fine. I love IIIs, so I'm taking a chance on these.
same shit happened with my thunder 4's.i was pissseddd cuz i really liked the shoe itself and the colorway.ended up selling them the other day.if they cracked on wear 1 what do you think will happen on wear #2 ? lol
@JManSam Cement IIIs had the same issue. It's random, some pairs are good some crack after one wear. The BRED IVs and the thunder has it too.
@DugLast @JManSam bred IV's just started cracking/paint chip. i'm about to buy the shoe paint and repaint them, but I prolly wore them bitches at least a good 20 times before none of that shyt. You might have just got a bad pair
Cav IV's wore prolly same amount of times and nothing, bitches is still clean, think they made those with very good quality
over here retail is 170€...sorry but they're putting the prices so high I call it robbery ... Obviously plenty of people will pay that price but they've reached the point where I draw the line ... a couple of years ago the white cements and black cements were like 130€/140€ ... dunno bout y'all but the index over here didn't went up like that ...
@DynomitesoulReck truth! €170 is crazy money when they were €130 like two years ago... most models don't even sell out (here in ireland anyway!)
@dgk905 same here ... they're definitely NOT flying off the shelves ... instead they gather dust ...
@DynomitesoulReck @dgk905 Wow, that's the price of a Foam bro, and no wonder they're not selling. Guess the US has it good yet we complain about some $10 increase... $40+ is not justifiable.
@JFresh_136 @DynomitesoulReck we've got higher taxes + import duties.. but i do think they are creaming mega profits in europe. though tax here in ireland is 23% :(
@dgk905 @JFresh_136 @DynomitesoulReck so what they did was increase the prices to the prices resellers normally tried to sell them after the release ... nice move ... it'll last maybe a couple of years from now ...
It'll last till people stop buying it, which will probably never happen. Might be easier to let someone buy them in the US and ship them over, would probably cost less lol.
@JFresh_136 Well the thing is with shipping it evens out so they know that ... retro jordans blew up here these last few years so nothing you can do really ... Luckily I'm set jordan wise and I'm into loads of other styles to keep the addiction going without feeling robbed when buying a pair ... I'll keep my eye out though cause like a lot of recent jordan releases they'll end up on sale sooner or later ...

"Are you sure about this Al?" you asked your boyfriend, extremely nervous.
"Of course I am!" Alfred exclaimed, grinning widely.
You sighed, looking down at your feet as Alfred kept his eyes on the road, driving the two of you to the nursing home. The two of your were stopping by to see his grandma, whom you have never met in your entire life. You and Alfred have been for six months too, and he has yet to introduce you to his grandmother.
You were completely terrified. You were scared his grandma wasn't going to like you, that she was going to yell at you to leave her baby alone. You were scared that she was going to glare at you the whole time, thinking about terrible things that could happen to you.
Hopefully everything would go smoothly and that she would like you.
"How much longer anyway?" you asked Alfred, looking over at him.
He kept his eyes on the road but did answer your question. "We'll be there in a second!" he exclaimed, glancing over at you with a smirk on his face. "Eager to meet my grandma, huh?"
You sighed, sinking down in your chair. "I am but...I don't know," you trailed off, looking out the window. You saw Alfred raise a single brow but he didn't say anything at first.
"Well, we're here!" Alfred exclaimed, smiling widely. You forced a smile, looking up as Alfred pulled into the driveway of his grandmother's nursing home.
"Yay," you mumbled, looking at the building in fear.
Alfred looked over at you with raised eyebrows. He shrugged it off, looking back at the road so he could park without any accidents occurring.
Alfred parked the car quickly, getting out of the car just as quickly. You raised a brow, unbuckling yourself and hoping he didn't forget you. Thankfully, he didn't for he opened up your door for you, smiling widely.
"Thanks Al," you whispered, your cheeks heating up.
"Anytime darlin'!" Alfred exclaimed. You giggled, getting out of the car.
Alfred closed your door once you were out, offering you his hand. You took it willingly, thanking him quietly that he offered it to you. You were starting to shake you were that nervous about meeting his grandma.
"You okay, ____?" he asked you, looking down at you with a worried expression. You nodded, clutching onto his hand as the two of you entered the nursing home.
Alfred led you up to the front desk where a young lady was seated, looking down at the desk while scribbling away. She looked up once you and Alfred were right in front of her, a small smile appearing on her face.
"And how can I help you two today?" she asked sweetly. You felt so much better at seeing this nice young lady but you were still nervous about meeting Alfred's grandma.
"I'm here to see my grandma!" Alfred exclaimed. The young lady's brown eyes widened in surprise, as did her smile.
"If it isn't Alfred F. Jones," she smiled, leaning back in her chair. "I knew you looked familiar! And who is this you have with you today?"
Alfred smiled, still holding onto your hand. "This is my girlfriend, ______ ________," Alfred told her, looking down at you with a loving look in his eyes.
"Well, it is very nice to meet you ____!" the lady exclaimed, making you smile softly.
"It's nice to meet you too," you whispered, looking down at her feet.
"Well, you're grandmother should be in her room, so here is the card to use the elevator," the lady told Alfred, handing him a card. Your eyebrows shot up in question, wondering why you needed a card to be able to use the elevator.
"Thanks!" Alfred exclaimed before leading you to the elevator. You looked behind you and waved to the woman, smiling. She waved back, smiling as well.
"Hey Al," you started once the two of you got to the elevator. "Why do you need a card to use the elevator?"
Alfred inserted the card and then pulled it back out before answering you. "Because, people like my grandmother would try to leave," Alfred told you as the two of you entered the elevator. "This way, they can't leave. True, they got people watching but, you always want to be cautious."
You nodded, watching him press the button three. As the elevator went up, you started to become even more nervous. Though, once the elevator doors opened to let you two onto the third floor, you felt like you were going to get sick.
"A-Alfred," you whispered as he led you down the hall. He looked down at you with a raised eyebrow.
"What is it ____?" he asked, stopping in the middle of the hallway.
"What if your grandmother doesn't like me?" you asked, looking down at your shoes.
Alfred sighed, lifting your chin up with his index finger. "I know she won't like you," he told you, making your face fall. "She'll love you."
Your cheeks heated up, your gaze going elsewhere. Alfred chuckled, giving you a quick peck on the lips. "Come on, the room is right here," he told you.
You were still nervous but you nodded, following Alfred into his grandmother's room.
See, you had always suspected his grandmother to be smiling and giving kids candy. You had always imagined her with a smile on her face.
You were wrong.
"Hey grandma!" Alfred exclaimed, gaining his grandmother's attention.
His grandmother looked up at Alfred and then looked over at you with a raised brow. Your breath hitched in your throat, your body tensing up. You felt like her emerald green eyes were already judging you.
"Good afternoon Alfred," his grandmother finally greeted, looking back to her grandson. You let out a sigh of relief, hearing Alfred chuckle.
"You look great!" he exclaimed, leading you closer to her. You wanted to pull away from your boyfriend and just run off but you didn't want to hurt his spirits, so you followed him willingly.
Alfred pulled up two chairs, one for you and one for him. You sat down beside him, looking at his grandmother who was seated right in front of you, in a rather comfy looking chair. She was knitting something and you were curious as to who it was for.
"And you're looking well fed," she noted, looking down at her knitting. She then looked up at you, her eyebrows raising in question again. "And who's this?"
Alfred simply laughed. "Well, you know how I told you about how I had a girlfriend?" he asked, earning a nod from her. "Well, this is her!"
His grandmother nodded, not a single smile appearing on her face. "Ah, so you're _____," she said. You nodded, pressing your lips together. "Well, it is finally nice to be able to meet you. As you know, I am Alfred's grandmother, Alice Kirkland."
You nodded, now knowing that this wasn't his father's mother. "It's nice to meet you as well!" you exclaimed, smiling. She nodded, returning back to her knitting.
It got suddenly quiet and it made you EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Alfred chuckled nervously, looking at his grandmother's knitting. "What 'cha knitting grandma?" he asked, trying to get a conversation going.
"None of your business Alfred," she hissed, glaring at her grandson. He held his hands up in defeat, not wanting her to get mad.
"I was just asking grandma!" he exclaimed.
"And I was just telling!" she mumbled underneath her breath, glancing back up at you through her eyelashes. "So, ____. Do you like the color (f/c)?"
You nodded, smiling. "It's actually my favorite color!" you exclaimed, finally getting a smile out of the old lady.
"Perfect," she whispered, returning to her knitting.
"Grandma-," Alfred started but was cut off.
"You interrupt me one more time in my knitting Alfred F. Jones I will spank you so hard you'll be in England the next time you open your eyes," she hissed.
Your hand flew up to your mouth, trying to contain your giggles. You had to admit, it was kind of funny, even if it was a threat to your boyfriend.
"I'm sorry grandma! Don't need to threaten your hero of a grandson!" Alfred exclaimed, making his grandmother snort.
"You're hilarious Alfred," she mumbled, still knitting. "You? A hero? Please. You couldn't even find my dog when he ran away. The fireman did that for you."
Alfred rolled his beautiful blue eyes, sticking his tongue out at his grandmother. "It wasn't my fault I couldn't find your precious dog!" he exclaimed.
"And then there was the rabbit," she told him.
"I'm sorry!" he yelled. "And who names a rabbit Flying Mint Bunny?"
"I DO YOU BLOODY GIT," she yelled, glaring at him. You giggled quietly, finding this conversation rather amusing.
"Well, you're special grandma," Alfred told her, winking over at you.
"Alfred F. Jones, what is that supposed to mean?" she asked him.
Alfred shrugged, giving his grandma a thousand watt smile. "You are special though! You're my favorite grandma!" Alfred cried.
"I'm your only grandmother, you never met your father's mother," she pointed out. Alfred sighed, knowing he lost this battle.
"I still love you grandma~," he told her. She mumbled something that you couldn't make out but you did see a small smile on her face.
The two of you stayed there for another hour, chatting with her. Mostly, it was Alfred trying to figure out what she was knitting or Alice yelling at him to be quiet. She never did yell at you though, and it made you feel more relaxed than you first were when you got into Alfred's car.
"Done," Alice finally announced, smiling down at her finished project. Alfred as about to ask what it was but Alice cut him off, glaring at him. "Don't even ask Alfred."
Alfred sighed, leaning back in his chair as his grandmother motioned for you to lean forward. You gulped but did as you were told, leaning forward. She reached out to you, setting her knitting on top of your head.
"Perfect," she whispered, leaning back to look at you.
That was when it hit you. She had knitted you a hat, and it was your absolute favorite color! How did she know this was your favorite color though? Did she just chose a random color?
Before you could say a word, Alice spoke, "Alfred told me your favorite color one day, out of the blue. He also told me how the two of you met. He said you were wearing a hat so, it compelled me to make this for you. I hope you like it."
"Like it? I love it," you whispered, smiling at her. "Thank you!"
You got up to give her a hug, surprised she returned it. Once you pulled away, you noticed the small smile on her face. You smiled back, sitting back down beside Alfred.
"Anytime my dear," she told you. "Alfred talks a lot about you whenever he comes to visit."
"Oh really?" you smirked, glancing over at your now blushing boyfriend.
"Grandma-," he started but was cut off by her once more.
"Yes, he always tells me about you," she admitted, smirking. "Even before the two of you starting dating. He's been talking about you for a year or two."
"Graannnddmmaaa," Alfred whined, his face as red as a tomato. You giggled, poking him in the cheek.
"You're so sweet Al," you whispered, giving him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled, looking away.
You heard Alice laugh softly, smiling at the two of you. "You two are perfect for each other, I'll admit it," she admitted. "But Alfred, if you don't treat her right-."
"I'm your grandson, grandma. I don't think ____ is," Alfred mumbled. "You're acting like she is!"
Alice laughed, rolling her eyes. She turned her gaze back to you as Alfred took a hold of your hand. "I really do hope the two of you come back to visit sometime, I enjoyed talking with you, ____," Alice admitted, making you feel so much better.
And to be honest, you did too. She made you a hat, that was your favorite color and she approved of you and Alfred. Alfred gave you a kiss on the cheek before you responded.
"And I hope to come back to visit sometime real soon too."

Lawmakers work on higher gas taxMarch 10,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is soon expected to finish a gasoline tax increase that would take effect over the next two years.
The House Transportation Committee is expected to approve a 2 percent sales tax on gasoline that would take effect in June. In July of 2014, the sales tax would go up another 2 cents on a dollar, to 4 percent.
Meanwhile, in fiscal 2015, the cents-per-gallon tax would drop by nearly 6 cents from its current level of 19 cents per gallon. The upshot would be nearly $26 million more in gasoline taxes collected by the state.
Lawmakers have been looking for ways to shore up transportation revenues. Declining sales of gasoline have cut into revenues from gasoline taxes that historically have been raised mainly on a per-gallon basis.MORE IN This Just In

could you please open your browsers console, reload page with chat on it and report if any errors are being printed on browser console?
Please how can I find my browser console?
In Firefox you go to Tools -> Web Developer -> Web console. In Chrome you can use Ctrl+Shift+J to display it. You will need some skills to navigate these tools but unfortunately without error message of some kind I'm not able to assist.
I have exact same problem. Using new version of jquery. Already tried plugin on different website, i think its the problem with new versions of wp and plugin. There is no erros in console.
Thanks. I made a change with zopim.
Hi Marko
Yesterday my Quick Chat worked fine... then my whole website
crashed and was down for over 13 hours, I'm not sure why that is
but it's been fixed and works now. However, my Quick Chat does not work
any more. It says Loading... and nothing happens.
Here is the error from Chrome concole:

At a time of rapid, systemic change, decision-makers must be skilled at recognizing patterns that point to the future of higher education. Many resources exist that follow, describe, and analyze trends. One such resource is the NMC Horizon Report. The 2014 Higher Education Edition is a collaborative effort between the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). For more than a decade, the NMC Horizon Project has been researching emerging technologies with the potential to affect teaching, learning, research, creative inquiry, and information management. How might you use this research to make the best possible strategic decisions to ensure mission-driven integration of pedagogy and technology? These NMC Horizon Report slides were used during an discussion led by NITLE Senior Fellow Bryan Alexander in which participants reviewed the Horizon Report, identified local patterns that supported or contradicted the projections described, and evaluated their potential impact for individual programs or institutions.

Goodell paid more than $29 million by NFL
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:15 p.m.
NEW YORK — Commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $29.49 million by NFL owners in 2011, nearly triple his compensation from the previous year.
According to the league's most recent tax return, most of Goodell's pay comes in the form of a $22.3 million bonus. His base pay was $3.1 million. The NFL was scheduled to file the return Friday.
While the league declined comment on specifics, it must, by law, make the return available upon request.
In 2011, Goodell helped the league reach a new 10-year labor deal and work out lucrative TV contracts.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank issued a statement calling the NFL the "most successful and best-managed sports league in the world," and it "is in no small part due to Roger's leadership." He added that Goodell's "compensation reflects that."
Goodell earned $11.6 million in 2010. Goodell's compensation was first reported by Sports Business Journal.

Skip to comments.Clint Eastwood doesn't 'give a crap' about critics of his RNC speech
Posted on 09/17/2012 11:30:01 AM PDT by servo1969
Clint Eastwood says he doesn't really care about the people who ripped his impromptu "chair" speech at the Republican National Convention, saying he was just expressing his feelings.
Eastwood appeared on "Good Morning America" this morning and the 82-year-old explained one of the reasons he didn't want to give a traditional speech off a teleprompter that night is because "I didn't have my glasses with me ... so I wouldn't have been able to read it."
Instead, he explained: "So then Im just sitting there and the guy says, You wanna sit down? and I said No, but put that [chair] next to the podium will ya.'"
And a legend was born.
When he was told that President Obama is still a fan of his, Eastwood said, "Well, that's his bad judgment."
As for the criticism Eastwood has received since the speech, he said: "There is something about the aging process that makes you give a crap less."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
BRAVO, Mr. Eastwood!
If it bothers ANYONE on the left - it was a 1,000% success!
AND which speech are they still talking about. Clint is such a genious. This is too funny and I love the fact tha he's OURS. So there. The left can have those lefty freaks, I'll take Clint Eastwood on my side any day of the week. Proud to have liked him for all these years and I admire him even more today.
nuff said.
This is so true! Way to speak honestly Clint!
This guys legend continues to grow.
Clint nails it once again.. well done!
When the elections are a month away, I'm going to put an empty chair and a fake teleprompter in my front yard.
"There is something about the aging process that makes you give a crap less."
And that is exactly how we all should be responding to liberal criticism....
"When he was told that President Obama is still a fan of his, Eastwood said, "Well, that's his bad judgment."
*SMACK!!!* upside the head.
Good Job Clint!!!
I totally agree .. the older I get the less I care if people are offended by what I say.
Love it!!! Such Freedom!!!
"I totally agree .. the older I get the less I care if people are offended by what I say.
Love it!!! Such Freedom!!!"
So true! I think of all the time I wasted worrying about what people thought about how I looked, what I did, or what I said. Now, I just don't care anymore. If they don't like me as I am, then it's their loss. It is freedom, and better yet, it's FUN!
I thought his commentary and presentation brilliant.
You never saw "Where Eagles Dare?" You have to try to count the number of Germans he kills in the movie. I will advise you to not try to make a drinking game out of it.
Oh my! You owe it to yourself to watch some of his famous movies such as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, High em' High, A fistful of Dollars, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, and many more. I have been a Clint Eastwood fan since he was Rowdy Faber on Wagon Train many years ago.
I never even heard of Clint Eastwood during the Dirty Harry years. Amazing, right? I was raised on Broadway shows, ballet and movie musicals. Finally, thanks to cable, my horizons are broadening.
I did some research and found that Clint played Roddy Yates when he played on Wagon Train. I don't know why I thought he was Rowdy Faber. It's funny how time can warp your childhood memories.
Don't know about Wagon Train but he played Rowdy on Rawhide.
Rowdy Yates was the ramrod on "Rawhide." Gil Faver was the trail boss. I am a child of the 50's and 60's.
Ha! Well, that comment reflects the genuine lack of narcissism in Eastwood that is legion in Obama. Clint doesn't take himself all that seriously, nor does he care whether Obama likes him or not.
Because Eric Fleming played the trail boss, whose name was Gil Favor...
Because Eric Fleming played the trail boss -- on Rawhide (not Wagon Train) -- whose name was Gil Favor...
He wasn't on wagon train, it was Rawhide.
You can watch Clint Eastwood play the part of Rowdy Yates and Eric Fleming play the part of Gil Favor in Rawhide by searching for "Rawhide" on YouTube. We've been enjoying catching up on some Rawhide shows missed when they aired 1959-1966. We were also watching James Garner and Jack Kelly in Maverick last week, but they were just taken down for copyright violations.
In his own right, in my book, Clint is in the same league as The Duke was/is.
Try to catch "Magnum Force." It was that flick that gave me my "elder years" motto: "A man's GOT to know his limitations!"
In his own right, in my book, Clint is in the same league as The Duke was/is.
ahhhhhhhhh yes..... the Duke.
John Wayne, Bob Hope and Clint! Today's hollywood propped up so called stars are arrogant selfish nobodies.
I don't see anyone who can hold a candle to those of yesteryear.
Go Mittens and Paul.
favorite. actor. ever.
I'd like to add Jimmy Stewart to that list. He was a true American hero.
ah yes... Jimmy Stewart. There were many great personalities, and they did not use vulgar, demeaning language to get a laugh or to do movies.
Manners, pure and simple deteriation of morals. Removal of God from our society and "let anything go" mentality of the Hippies of the 60's. They, sadly are in charge of too many things today. We need to volunteer, pull R/R over the line. Do our part by getting out OUR vote on Nov. 6.
Have a great day!

Extremely Drunk Guy Claims His Father Owns 'Half of F*cking Manhattan,' Sober Guy Films It
No one looks great here.
Here is a video of a confrontation between an extremely drunk, obnoxious young man and the presumably sober, less obnoxious dude who recorded him ranting and waving a Dunkin' Donuts bag in front of a dry cleaning place. According to Gothamist, the person who originally uploaded it to YouTube said that the incident took place sometime last week, after the star and his friends exited Flatiron party brunch spot Pranna, which still exists. (For the record, Pranna claims to have had nothing to do with this.)
It's not clear why the videographer began taping the wasted pals, one of whom straight up passes out on the sidewalk a minute and a half in. Upon realizing that he's being filmed, a member of the crew (who eventually identifies himself as "Gerry [Something]") stumbles over to repeatedly ask the guy with the camera, "Are you a human being?" He responds by telling them to "get the fuck off [his] property," and things really go downhill from there.
"My dad owns half of fucking Manhattan," slurs Gerry. "Tell me this is your property and I'll call the cops. Because you think I don't own the cops? You think the fucking man who does fucking real estate doesn't own the cops?" Apparently unconvinced that his new enemy (or anyone in his family) owns the cops, the man encourages Gerry to call them. "Do you want me to call Bill de Blasio on you right now?" Gerry continues. "He's a fucking liberal but I'll call him."
While Gerry seems truly awful, the cameraman does seem to have kept the encounter going for longer than strictly necessary, following the group down the street and egging his dead-eyed subject on. "You wanna take video of me?" Gerry demands toward the end. "Is that what you want to show your kids?" The answer, undoubtedly, is "no," since the footage features no admirable behavior on anyone's part. Still, Gerry comes out looking the worst.
Update: It turns out that Gerry's dad doesn't own any part of Manhattan, but his passed-out buddy's family does.

Photo Details
My father attended the above wedding, which I understand from my mother was in Scotland. He was John(Jack)Nicholson 1928-1988 and is the man in glasses 2nd away from the groom, directly behind the smaller bridesmaid. It was the marriage of someone to whom he was related and the names of his relatives might include NICHOLSON, ORD, JACKSON or HASKELL. My mother has no idea of who these people are, but it is quite possible that at least some of them might still be living. If so, I would be delighted if someone recognizes them and could pass on details about them. Since the death of my father and all his siblings, I have lost touch with that side of my family and would love to find new relatives. My father was born in Stanley, County Durham, and it is possible that any long-lost relatives live near that area.

Thanks for the info, I'm new to Li-Po's and after reading all this I will be veeerrry careful with my new batteries. I charge them in an old crock pot my wife donated to help prevent the house burning down. Decent of her ,huh? I use a Triton and re-read directions everytime I charge a battery. From the output I get with my plane I feel it's worth the slight risk. I had to buy a new esc to prevent over discharging but the plane flies better than it ever has.
From time to time it's fun to peak in on the battery section of this site. It really amazes me that some folks are dead set against lipos. When I started to move to the electric side of flying, I skipped over the nicads and went straight to lipos.
My LHS owner gave me some good sound advice about the batteries(battery female dean connectors) and helped me pick out a good charger (triton). To this date I've never experienced any problems. I fly my plane by sound. When I hear the rmps drop I know its time to bring it in. Afterwards I check my voltage, set the battery aside to watch it for a while before packing up. Once home I recheck it, charge it in my garage, away from the wifes car. I check in on it as it charges. Never have I had any problems with them.
Quit being so negative about the lipos. They work, and the work well.

Right, everyone who has ever had an accident of any kind is a fool. So we're all fools. Some are just less aware of it.
There are hundreds of items we use routinely or are exposed to daily that has the potential to be dangerous if misused/abused. Motor vehicles, household chemicals, ovens, gas ranges, firearms, aircraft, computers, knives, hand tools, power tools, baseball bats, frying pans, medications, electrical appliances, etc. etc. I guess to be safe I should just go live in a cave somewhere....

It looks like we have a new trend in "Batteries and Chargers" that is bumping up years old threads on Lipo problems ........... This is at least the third multi-year old thread I have seen bumped to the top in the recent days.
This isn't even a lipo problem lol....
He had male deans installed on a battery... What the heck do you expect! You are guaranteed to short them out.
That is true, this isn't a lipo problem as much as it is a user fault. Frank doesn't like lipos based on things he has read, so he too worried about them to use them. I agree then, he shouldn't use them. A user must have a sense of understanding of how they work, how to handle them properly, etc, etc...and this requires reading and studying the lipo traits. Now a user will have a level of confidence in the battery, respect them, and work with them safely and properly.
Now...Frank, I dare hope you don't make an assumption that lipos are just too unsafe for anyone to use, but say your nimh or nicads are no problem??!
How 'bout you take that charged nimh pack out to your driveway and short out the plug on the end. Report back how much THOSE batteries liked it. I will guess you will report stuff like, "glowing hot" melting battery wrap, burning wires, melted plug, etc. It might not have exploded, but the lipo didn't either.
One other thing...you talk about lipos like they are all out there spontaneously combusting in everyone's cars and houses. They are not going to just pop like the 4th of July any more than your ultra safe nimh packs. They ARE inclined to rupture and burn if abused through a crash, rough charge, etc... but those are not normal situations. THESE circumstances require the extra procedures you mention like transporting in fireproof containers. I don't haul mine around in anything but my flight box to and from the field. Now...if I have crashed one, then yes, extra precautions are used. I only see this type of activity as being safety conscious rather than a statement of how volatile the packs are.
Frank, try to have a more open mind to learning about the real qualities of lipo packs. You will find a lot of things you have thought were true were more based on misinformation and folks fanning the fires of their self-agendas.
Again, as stated before...if someone is that worried about using a lipo battery, then he/she should not use one.
As I read in one of these threads a while back, LiPo's and gasoline are both dangerous to store/use. They both have rules for safe handling. The rules for LiPo's are known. And one should include; no accidental short circuits under any circumstances and a mis applied Dean's ultra connector violates that rule.
Frank, do you use gasoline? Do you think it dangerous? fish

ALPHARETTA | Police in Atlanta's northern suburbs are searching for an armed man suspected of robbing an Alpharetta convenience store.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the suspect escaped into a wooded area and was leading deputies on a foot chase in nearby Forsyth County early Saturday morning.
Authorities say the suspect had driven to a residence, ran out the back door and then fled into the wooded area.
Alpharetta police said he appeared to be armed with an AR-15 rifle or similar weapon.
Authorities said another man suspected of being involved in the robbery was apprehended as he hid in the vehicle at the residence.

A major study has linked the chemical, bisphenol A, to health problems such as heart problems and diabetes. Government regulators say they'll review the new findings but are confident they made the right call.

Health & Fitness
Bottom Line: The Trax Play is a useful GPS tracker for small children and pets, but you're better off using a device with two-way communication.
Bottom Line: The Withings Thermo is an accurate smart thermometer that measures temperature and logs it an app after a quick swipe across your forehead, but it's very expensive.
Bottom Line: The Styr Labs Wireless Scale is a smart bathroom scale that tracks a number of useful metrics, but recommended protein supplements aren't enough to make up for unreliable syncing and the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity.
Bottom Line: The Styr Labs Activity Tracker is accurate, comfortable, and well-designed, but the nutritional vitamin supplements it recommends cost just as much as the device itself, which is very limited in what it tracks.
Bottom Line: Huawei's TalkBand B3 fitness tracker/Bluetooth earpiece promises versatility, but it's too expensive and is not available in the US.
Bottom Line: The Garmin Forerunner 735XT fitness tracker gives pertinent information to triathletes about their sports, including advice you don't often see, like recovery time. It's comprehensive and easy to use but will set you back a pretty penny.
Bottom Line: With some solid improvements over its predecessor, the Samsung Gear Fit2 is a powerful fitness tracker and a fairly functional smartwatch.
Bottom Line: With a sleek, stable design packed to the brim with features, the Withings Body Cardio is an upscale take on the smart bathroom scale.
Bottom Line: The iHealth Core Wireless Body Composition Scale is a good mid-priced smart bathroom scale that's easy to use and will track weight and body composition for everyone in your household.
Bottom Line: The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is fast, accurate, and convenient, and can track illnesses spreading where you live.

The bed is comfy and room is spacious.
water is leaking from the aircon during my stay.
Proche de l'embassae du Canada
The reason I bought this hotel is because it said free Wi-Fi when I got up to my room and I wanted to use the Wi-Fi they told me I would have to sit in the office for the Wi-Fi to be free or I could buy some expensive Internet package. There were no blankets on the bed whatsoever just a sheet that you could unfold and put on top of you and the air conditioning was not adequate the room was hot when I entered the room and it never cooled off not even a fan to circulate the air. The morning breakfast was fine they made me pay a 1000 pesos deposit on the key and would not return until they had someone fully inspect the room never been treated like that interesting place.
The air conditioner was not adequate to cool the room down. The Internet is only free in the lobby and it didn't work. You have to buy an expensive Internet card to use the hotel room Internet and the bed was very uncomfortable with only a sheet.
wonderful classic luxury hotel but with a cut above in professionalism and warmth of staff. lovely! highly recommended--
Breakfast was lovely. The variety of food available was good for all meals. The gym is excellent. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and there was a nightlight, a nice touch all too often neglected. It's a very nice hotel and I would go back! But....
WIFI access ends the moment you check out. Immediately. Which means that even if you check out at 9am and could have checked out at noon, no wifi for you as of 9am. Hopefully you don't have to call a cab or write a memo. Perhaps you were thinking of a leisurely breakfast in the lobby after checking out while reading the paper online. Nope. In 2015, when you pretty much assume that internet access is available for a reasonable amount of time, that's a pretty strong negative.
The staff was far too eager to serve and frankly, a bit overbearing. The first day, I had two members of staff burst into my room while I was in the bathroom (pretty bad luck, I suppose), one without knocking, the other with just a cursory knock and a half second wait. I learned to lock and chain the door and put on the DND light right away. Once I forgot the DND light but locked the door... Ooops! So while I was taking a nap, I got someone knocking at the door for 2 minutes till I got up so they could give me bottles of water. Eating in one of the restaurants requires that you keep a tight grip on your plate or glass if you are having a leisurely meal... a waiter is likely to swoop down and take it away before you can say a word, if they feel you are done, whether at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. While eating, one waiter after another will come over to ensue that you are enjoying your meal, interrupting a quiet evening, over and over again. The service has good intentions, but really needs to back off a bit.
je suis resté 15 jours à l'hotel : le personnel est très serviable, parfaite situation à manille (centrale)nourriture très bonne,les chambres sont très propres mais un peu vieilles quand l'on compare le luxe de l'hotel mais dans l'ensemble cela va, très très bon séjour, je reviendrai
petit problème lorsque beaucoup de séminaires et donc augmentation des résidents : la nourriture lors du déjeuner est très vite partie et pas assez vite renouvelée, il faut de se lever tot mais bon c'est un détail...
I loved the amenities, the buffet, the pool, and the extremely courteous staff.
I had a great overall experience.
The only thing I didnt like was hidden cost,they ask me to pay way to much for breakfast buffet which was suppose to be include with the room. Since I didnt go directly through the free breakfast buffet didnt count I had to pay
Hotel tres mal situe, quartier peu sur, le chauffeur de taxi nous a meme demande pourquoi nous l'avions choisit et si nous etions sure de vouloir y aller...Chambre humide et hotel bruyant le soir et le matin. Une nuit a largement suffit.
Top things about this hotel in order: Location (you cant find any better), Staff, The Bed, Bathroom, Minibar, Spa, The Cityview, and Security.
The rates are too exaggerated, You can find other much cheaper hotels with similar qualities, nothing very special about it for such a price
Le personnel est sympathique et serviable. Il se mettent en quatre pour vous aider. Les chambres sont superbes et très propres. Nous y avons séjourné 7 fois et je vais revenir. J'adore l'emplacement.
Il n'y a rien à dire.
Le personnel était des plus énergiques, chaleureux et accueillant.
Le buffet du petit déjeuner a besoin de changer le menu tous les jours ou au moins deux fois par semaine.
Security and security staff was great
On departure I was stuffed around with the hotel transport to the airport.
nice hotel in terms of the apartment that has everything one need ,quit and clean, near major shopping center and various restaurante.
hotel entrance and general design is not suitable for familyes or desable person with trollys , to many stairs and the only access to the hotel is from the garage on back door which is dangours of cause of cars. also the breakfast was not that good and coffee taste like break oil
It's located by Greenvelt 1 which has everything you need re: stores, food, shopping.
The room was spacious and nice. It was very relaxing and the staff were very friendly.
The thing I didn't like was I had to pay for a half day for 1 hour.
I was waiting for a ride and they came at 1pm, 12pm was checkout. l mentioned it to them just to see how they handle situations like that. They said,"sorry sir." They were polite but don't do anything. In fairness, it wasn't about the money, I would have liked to see something beyond words. I won't miss the 1200 pesos, I was just missing a good faith gesture. A voucher for free coffee would have at least showed an effort.
service, facility, location, rates
Ascott could not locate my reservation even when given my confirmation number and booking agents number. Front desk did not know what to do, they wanted to charge me double my original paid reservation and credit my paid reservation when it came through.....WHAAAAAT! Very late and tired, no one offered to make it right, front desk seem to have attitude. I finally called Kayak and had them locate original reservation which was faxed to front desk. Front desk calls me to tell me they have fixed it and I clearly told them... I FIXED IT BY CALLING KAYAK...which is something they should've done in the first place!!!!!
We liked the location, very convenient to atm, food, stores. But after dark there are homeless around. View out window was good. Room size was good. Buffet was best in restaurant. (See the bad parts of this review because they FAR outweigh the good).
Bad: A/C was noisy and leaked on the floor, smelled of mildew, carpet was filthy & stained, shower burnt us, hot in elevators & lobby, welcome drink so small it's a joke, room service menu missing items advertised, they charge ALOT for free local
Voilà pourquoi :
Nous ne sommes pas un site marchand
À KAYAK nous ne fixons pas les prix, il nous est donc impossible de garantir des produits et services vendus par d'autres compagnies.
Nous recueillons des données pour vous
Notre site vous permet de rechercher rapidement et facilement sur des centaines de sites de voyage à la fois. En ce sens, KAYAK est un moteur de recherche et nous ne pouvons garantir les prix que nous trouvons.
Pourquoi les prix ne sont-ils pas exacts à 100% ?
Le prix des billets d'avions, chambres d'hôtels et véhicules de location varie fréquemment. Il est également probable que plusieurs personnes tentent de réserver la même option de voyage en simultané. C'est pourquoi il se peut qu'occasionnellement, certains prix ne soient plus disponibles.

Made my way to Olivine City. I met Clu there, while still a jerk I didn't have to fight him.
Since there was no trainer in the gym I headed to the lighthouse. Took a couple of minutes to figure out how to get to the top. After finding out I needed to get medicine getting down was easy.
I headed east after healing. Seeing the Battle Tower I decide to go take it on, only to find out I can't. I head south instead through the maze of water. After making it to Cianwood I enter the first house I see. Out of terror the guy gives me Shuckie the Shuckle who's stuck post haste into the nearest PC terminal. Although I think I'd try to get my pets back if someone stole them, or at the least called the police.
Took on Gym Muscle with minimal effort, although I did have to go out and heal once. 5/8 badges obtained at this point. After getting the medicine from the pharmacy I swam back to Olivine only to figure out that the Gym Leaders wife has Fly, so I swam back to get that. Tick Tock the Hoot Hoot was taken out for the time being for a fly slave.
Flew back to Olivine and entered the cafe to get strength. After that I headed back up to give the Ampharos medicine. Once completed I headed to the Gym. Seeing as all the other gyms were cake to this point I take on the lone little girl. Much to my horror I die 3 times to her Steelix whom I'm 14 levels higher than at this point. I decide it's time to level a bit.
I swam past Mt. Mortor to Mahogony town to do the Lake of Rage quest line. After an hour of figuring out where to go I enter the house to the secret Rocket Base. Going through was pretty easy and I'm done with it in no time.
At this point I'm a level 52 and I figure I'm more than high enough to ruin the Steelixs day. I was wrong. After two more losses I teach Tron Dynamic Punch. I nearly run out of PP before taking it down. 6/8 obtained and I hate this Gym. On the plus side, Iron Tail, so Tron learns that.
Once that was all done I headed to the Radio Tower in Goldenrod. Had to heal up twice before finishing it due to quickly diminishing PP reserves but all in all, it was no trouble. The stupid button puzzle in the Underground Basement however, got me lost for 4 days. I'll be honest, felt like a noob for not knowing the solution was 3-2-1. Yeah...moving right along. Also took on Clu, his team falls easy.
Got the keycard from the Director in the Basement. I'm sure he'll see himself out somehow. After beating the Executive it seems I've saved the Radio Tower, the Director, and Pokemon. All in a days work. After that I headed to Tin Tower. Suicune was captured after 2 Iron Tails, 1 Poke Ball, and 1 Great Ball. I got lucky and Borealis the Suicune is inducted into the PC of northern lights.
Somewhere along the line I forgot to record my 7th badge. So yeah, I'm at 7/8. I remember the frost gym being pretty easy with the big wooly mamoth taking a few hits to bring down. Also, while at Rage Lake I catch Musashi the Farfetch'd and teach it both Cut and Fly. Tick Tock is stuck back and I've got my team for the rest of the game.
I decided after Suicune to see what I missed in Mt. Mortor. After getting some nice items I head east past Mahogony Town and enter the Ice Caves. All the puzzles are easy and I end up in Black Thorn in no time. After some supplies it's time for gym 8.
Claire's gym shows no challenge as everything but a Dratini and her Kingdra go in one hit. The Dratini I accidentally hit with a Mud Slap (This replaced Dynamic Punch) and got a Dragon Rage to the face. Her Kingdra survived 3 Thunderbolts before biting the dust. Unfortunately she hasn't given me the badge yet so 7/8 still.
All in all I got lost a lot and leveled a ton. Hence the ginormous update.
Tron the Raichu LV: 56
Special Defense: 120
Speed: 142

Paulson's Advantage Plus Drops in February, Paring 2012 Gain
John Paulson lost 1.5 percent in February in one of his largest hedge funds, according to an investor update, paring this year's gain and setting back efforts by the New York-based manager to recoup record losses in 2011.
Paulson's Advantage Plus Fund, which seeks to profit from corporate events such as takeovers and bankruptcies and uses leverage to amplify returns, gained 3.5 percent in the first two months of 2012, according to the update, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News.
Paulson, 56, is seeking to reverse losses from an ill-timed bet on an economic recovery. The declines, including a 51 percent drop in the Advantage Plus fund in 2011, prompted the manager to reduce risk just as markets seem to stabilize. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 4.1 percent last month amid optimism that Greece would receive a second bailout and climbed 8.6 percent this year through Feb. 29.
Armel Leslie, a spokesman for Paulson & Co., which manages about $23 billion, declined to comment on the firm's returns.
The gold share class of the Advantage Plus Fund decreased 2 percent in February and climbed 4.9 percent this year. Paulson investors can choose between dollar-and gold-denominated versions for most of the firm's funds.
Paulson's Gold Fund, which can buy derivatives and other gold-related investments, slumped 4.8 percent last month and climbed 8 percent this year. Paulson told investors in February that his Gold Fund will outperform his other strategies over five years.
Recovery Fund
Gold fell 1.7 percent last month, largely due to a one-day drop of as much as $100 to below $1,700 an ounce on Feb. 29 after the Federal Reserve gave no indication it will offer more monetary stimulus to bolster the U.S. economy.
The Recovery Fund, which invests in assets Paulson believes will benefit from a long-term economic rebound, such as financial services, insurance, hotels and real estate companies, climbed 3.2 percent last month and 6.5 percent this year. Its gold shares gained 0.6 percent in February and 10 percent in 2012.
The Paulson Partners Enhanced Fund, which invests in the shares of merging companies, jumped 6.5 percent in February and 11 percent this year. Its gold share class gained 2.8 percent last month and 14 percent in the first two months of the year. Paulson's Credit Opportunities Fund returned 0.2 percent last month and 3.8 percent in 2012. Its gold shares fell 1.1 percent in February and increased 7.7 percent this year.
Paulson's Advantage Fund, which employs a similar strategy to Advantage Plus, decreased 0.8 percent in February and climbed 3 percent this year. Its gold share class slumped 2.3 percent last month and gained 6.8 percent in 2012.

The website has been a mainstay amongst New Zealand's gay community since 2012. It has brought us sassy satire in the form of cheap wit and self-deprecation; identifying the realities of gay life as if overheard by a K'Road kebab shop owner.
Auckland Gays, like the many websites that came before it, relied on internet memes to get its point across. An internet meme is "an idea, behaviour, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture", the Merriam-Webster dictionary says. More often than not, it comes in the form of static or moving image (GIF) or video, accompanied by a quick and droll overlaid comment.

In spreading from person to person, a meme goes "viral" - a term marketers applaud and amateurs insufferably seek. Memes, we presume, are created at work whilst bored and nobody's watching; the product of observation, sarcasm and pure opportunity.
Memes carry the cultural ideas of the day. They are short-lived, thus timeliness is of the essence. Memes are not new - nor specific to the internet age - they were present throughout the 20th century through graffiti, cartoons, and other artistic expressions of societal thought. The internet meme, however, is one of the most popular and prevalent phenomenon online - Buzzfeed, for example, has created an entire business out of disseminating them.
What makes a good meme? Originality is first and foremost important. The unexpected goes viral quickly - nobody would have thought Angelina Jolie's leg would become a viral meme, nor did we expect people lying down in odd places to be popularised as "planking". Memes inspire mimicry: they start off simple and creative then propagate and mutate beyond the original author's wildest imagination.

Changing the meaning of a macro aspect of popular culture is also vital to good memes. Auckland Gays did this well by pulling together GIFs from reality television shows, overlaying them with subtitles (that may or may not represent what was actually said on screen), and following up with a tagline to represent a common reality or thought from Auckland gay life. Some of the best included the time-lapsed Your feelings on Family Bar (featuring an excited Rihanna in one GIF at 1.59am, and a turgid housewife in the next at 2.01am), and Being too honest when asked how you are (utilising a bored office worker and the tagline "Oh, I'm fine, its just life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired").
Internet memes are spread via social networking. Tumblr, a social network in itself, is a popular website for posting and re-posting of memes. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are other meme breeding grounds. They're places you go when you have time to kill and need a quick fix of hilarity or righteousness. Anyone with limited knowledge of image editing can hijack a meme and take it in a different direction - the Miley Cyrus/Video Music Awards twerking incident is an example of a meme that experienced hundreds of thousands or incarnations.
Every meme is competing for attention amongst other memes. When Solange became Jay Z's 100th problem in May, the world continuously memed the fight while ignoring the smug advice Gwyneth Paltrow gave on GOOP that week. With a little creativity, though, memes can be combined to prosper throughout the interwebs - see Miley's face-mashed memes with Justin Bieber's arrest photos for further verification.

Why do we love memes? There's something about their banal simplicity. They are decidedly lo-fi. Memes can be grainy, glitchy, and of the poorest image/video/audio quality and we just don't care. The more proletarian, the better. Memes say the things we're too afraid to say. They voice our thoughts on Sally Ridge, our distain at modern working environments, and take backward steps in race relations, acceptance, and equality. Not intentionally, mind. Memes are in place for comedic value; political correctness be damned.
All memes have a lifespan. Sometimes it's a day, sometimes a week. If a meme is still going after a month, it's in the hall of fame. When creating a meme, it's best not to contrive - there are oodles of Tumblrs out there that started off strong with funny quips, but mere days in, dwindled towards the prosaic and will remain a log of online irrelevance for the rest of time. After all, not everyone can be Auckland Gays (or, better still, the fabulous Texts from Hillary from 2012).
The best memes are sporadic and no-holds-barred. They dilute glamour and celebrity and turn it into something to mock - the unflattering Beyonce memes of 2013 were particularly harsh. Good memes leave a footprint. They can contribute positively or negatively to society. They can't be censored, monitored, or served a cease and desist.

Memes are, in the true sense of the word, anarchic. Will meme culture ever die? Miley Cyrus and co. surely hope not. After all, albums such as Bangerz don't sell themselves.

this plug is working ok but causing a lot of validation errors. i can't figure out how to correct. looking at the code below there is a space after (with) and (") that does not look correct.
Line 123, Column 2773: document type does not allow element "a" here . (NOTE "a" = ">" highlighted in red)
… rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with ">.<a href="http://domain.com
The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
