Patients surveyed on their experience of hospital
Canterbury DHB is encouraging people to respond to a new survey asking for feedback on their stay in hospital.
A random selection of people in the Canterbury DHB region who spent at least one night in hospital from 4 to 17 August have been sent an invitation to participate in a national survey.
Mary Gordon, Canterbury DHB Executive Director of Nursing, says patients will be able to fill in the survey online using a computer, tablet or smartphone, or can post their response.
"This will be the first time hospital patients' feedback has been collected and measured in the same way across New Zealand," Mary says.
Developed by the Health Quality & Safety Commission, the survey will help to improve the quality of hospital care and understand how well health services are working for patients and their families.
"Patient feedback is really important to us in shaping how we deliver care," Mary says.
"Hospital care is perhaps unusual in the sense that people are always keen to thank us when we have done a good job, but a broader survey will help capture the whole picture and enable us to work on where we can make improvements."
The survey responses will be anonymous unless patients choose to supply contact details.
Mary says responses will be collated to give each DHB a rating out of 10 in four areas: coordination, partnership, communications, and physical and emotional needs.

Sliding Coffee Table
The REK Coffee Table by designer and architect Reinier de Jong adapts to your needs. Using easy slide out sections, this coffee table can be shortened or lengthened according to the occasion. Built-in stops make sure the sliding parts aren't moved too far. The top and sides are made from white HPL and the edges finished with your choice of wood. I guess this is another design that to reach it's full potential and use would need to be in a large area or space. Nice job though. Available from Reinier de Jong.

Lite Beer from Miller commercial (with Don Carter)
As I recall, there were two Lite Beer commercials with Don Carter. This is the first one, a satiric play on a previous Lite Beer spot with a pro football player who celebrated Lite Beer's "easy opening cans" by ripping the can in half. Not sure when this started airing, but I caught it on a 1980 telecast.

WATLOW has released the CAST-X 2000 circulation heater for applications where fluid cleanliness, temperature accuracy and high pressure are needed. They are safe for volatile, viscous or mildly corrosive liquids, are suitable for heating gases and can be used in either high or low-pressure applications.
It consists of a helically coiled tube cast into an aluminum body with tubular heating elements. The aluminum body is a seamless heavy wall that serves as the heat transfer media between the tubular element and the coiled tube through which the fluid being heated passes. This non-weld construction minimises material usage and offers a lower per package cost than traditional circulation heaters.
The heater is available with an integral thermostat that is also cast into the aluminum, which allows the heater to run dry without causing damage to the heating element.
The CAST-X 2000 is explosion-resistant and prevents fluid contamination because the heated fluid does not come in contact with the heating element.

Excessive sun exposure can cause an increase in melanin
production resulting in hyperpigmentation, liver spots, age spots,
and dark spots. Whatever we call them, nobody likes them or
wants them on their skin.
Skin spots and stains may show up on variety of facts, including pregnancy, excessive sun exposure, aging and heredity. Sometimes, they become darker and larger with time.
Recently, it has been found that this mixture can truly remove skin stains in no time. It is made of organic ingredients and has no side effects.
1 tbsp. of organic honey
2 tbsps. rolled oats
Combine all the ingredients and mix well until homogenous. Clean the skin thoroughly before applying the mask. Allow it to act for about half an hour. Then, rinse it off with warm water. For best results, use the mask at night.
The starch found in oats has natural whitening effects and has long been used for removing stains from fabric and paintings.
Preventing Skin Spots
It is recommended that you avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Also, make sure you wear hats and sunglasses, and never leave your house before applying sunscreen, especially in summer. Eat more fruits, vegetables and fish. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water on regular basis.

For most people, March 14 is just another day.
But for math fans and self-proclaimed nerds out there, the day — or, more specifically, the fact that it is 3/14 — is a day to celebrate one of the most important numbers in all of mathematics: pi.
So what better way for pi fans to celebrate Pi Day than with … pie?
A minute before 2 a.m. on Thursday, students at Caltech in Pasadena dug into 130 pies laid out for them outside student housing. There were 26 each of five different kinds of pie. Follow that? So on 3/14 at 1:59 a.m., there were 26 each of five kinds of pie. None is by chance. The first digits of pi are 3.14159265.
"It's a celebration of nerdiness," said Christopher Perez, president of Caltech's math club. "Pi literally shows up everywhere — in science, in math and nature. A circle is such a fundamental concept."

Former Gov. Haley Barbour and former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott have made The Hill's list of top Washington lobbyists, under the K-Street "Hired Gun" category.
The Beltway publication noted that Barbour "hit the ground running" when he returned to BGR Group, the lobbying firm he helped found, last year. Also listed with Barbour as top lobbyists were BGR partners Lanny Griffith and Loren Monroe.
Lott was listed along with his bipartisan lobbying partner former Sen. John Breaux. They formed the Breaux Lott Leadership Group, now part of the Patton Boggs firm.

Free Crash Course in Jewish History
From the dawn of civilization to the upheavals of today's
modern world, this free crash course takes you on a dramatic
journey through Jewish and world history.
Jewish History Blog
Don't Tread On Me
In the American Revolutionary War, General Christopher Gadsden designed the famous flag depicting a rattlesnake and the words, "Don't Tread On Me!" The symbol of the rattlesnake dated back as far as 1751 when Benjamin Franklin sardonically wrote that since the British were sending convicts to the colonies, the colonists should send rattlesnakes, which were native to America, over to England. Both the flag and the phrase have been appropriated in many contexts – from the Tea Party movement to rock 'n roll songs – so now I will appropriate it for a message of Torah.
This week's Parshah is Eikev, which, in the context of the opening verse, means "since" or "because." It usually denotes a cause and effect relationship, such as, "Because you will observe God's commandments, then blessings and physical rewards will descend upon you." The great medieval commentator Rashi, however, uses an additional meaning of the word: "foot" or "heel." He explains that there are commandments and values in Jewish life that the Jews sometimes take lightly. They grind them into the dust of everyday life by stepping upon them with their foot and/or heel. They tread on them. But these neglected commandments and values are actually the true key for spiritual success and a good life. So the choice of the word eikev is not merely literal. With the choice of that particular word, the Torah is teaching us the valuable lesson that there really are no small or inconsequential acts in life. click here to read more

The medical term for syrinx of the spine is syringomyelia, states Mayo Clinic. Syrinx refers to a fluid-filled cyst within the spinal cord. The cyst may grow in size and damage the spinal cord causing issues such as pain, stiffness and weakness.
Syringomyelia is caused by several conditions such as spinal cord injuries, spinal cord tumors and inflammation around the spinal cord, but it is mostly associated with a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal cord, explains Mayo Clinic. Early symptoms of syringomyelia may cause muscle weakness, loss of sensitivity to temperature and pain, and a loss of reflexes in the neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Later symptoms include facial pain and numbness; scoliosis; neck, arms and back pain; leg muscle spasms; weakness in the legs; and bladder and bowel dysfunction. Any of these symptoms require medical attention to determine the underlying cause.
Syringomyelia with no symptoms may only be treated with monitoring, according to Mayo Clinic. Syrinx of the spine sometimes resolves on its own without any further treatment, or surgery may treat syringomyelia if symptoms restrict daily living or become adverse. Although surgery is not always effective, it treats syringomyelia by enlarging the opening at the base of the skull and expanding the brain covering to reduce pressure on the spinal cord. Surgery is also used to drain the syrinx or remove any obstructions that thwart normal cerebrospinal fluid.

Quadrem International Ltd., a global marketplace for industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) products for the mining and metal industry, announced this week that it expects a 100 percent increase in revenues and a doubling of the number of transactions over 2003.
Started by the world's largest mining and metals companies, which comprise 60 percent of the world's production of gold, copper, coal, zinc, silver, and base metals, the Quadrem growth may be a leading indicator that the much-maligned concept of e-marketplaces is back.
Last year, Quadrem had US$1.3 billion in transactions, and less than six months into 2004, the company lists $1 billion dollars in transactions and expects to close out the year at $2.5 billion and increase profits by 100 percent, according to Ray Castelli, senior vice president for global solutions and services at Quadrem.
But is Quadrem an anomaly or a sign of the times? Pierre Mitchell, vice president of research at AMR Research Inc., believes e-marketplaces are back, but with a difference.
"They used to define themselves as the destination for trade. What they are doing now is providing hosted applications and content and connectivity and they allow a buyer to hook up with many suppliers," said Mitchell.
Currently, Quadrem has 200 buying organizations and 6,500 e-procurement suppliers.
Newmont Mining Corp., a leading gold producer, switched from a paper-based system for RFPs, purchase orders, routing to suppliers, acknowledgements, and delivery to Quadrem's e-marketplace in order to accelerate transaction processes.
"We have taken advantage of (Quadrem) to take a cash discount for early payment. We now receive between $75,000 and $100,000 per month in discounts," said Lance Throneberry, director of supply chain management at Newmont.
Throneberry also said that using Quadrem has increased the turnover rate for materials and supply inventory and improved forecast accuracy.
However, according to AMR's Mitchell, the technology at the surviving e-marketplace providers is "still a bit of a hodgepodge" that provides a set of subscription-based or transaction-based technologies and services such as hosted apps, content management, and Web EDI.
"It is relatively simplistic sourcing and procurement applications as well as a set of custom, technology (that's) built on top, namely for specification management, supplier discovery, commodity-specific catalogs, and industry-specific connectivity," said Mitchell.
Mitchell believes the remaining exchanges have reached critical mass, approximately 200 down from 1,500 four years ago, and are going to do well.
"They started retooling almost two years ago. They compete with [enterprise software] vendors," said Mitchell. "Basically they came to the grim realization that they were vendors rather than [buying] consortiums. Welcome to vendorhood."

The FaithWalker's Daily is a quick review of key news stories of the day from the perspective of a conservative Christ-follower living in, but not of, the world.
Yoga Classes in California Public School Raises Separation Issue
The Basics —
The Encinitas Union School District K-6 elementary schools in San Diego North County began taking Ashtanga yoga in the fall. The program is scheduled to expand now in January. Some parents are taking legal action, claiming yoga introduces religious teaching into their children's public school education.
Dig Deeper:
- Via ABC News: The original October story which I pointed out a while back. Key graph from Attorney Dean Broyles: "The poses and positions are acknowledged by Ashtanga and Hindi yoga as forms of worship and prayers to Hindu deities," he told ABC News. "They have a spiritual and religious meaning behind them."
- Via The Huffington Post, the program is funded by a yoga group. "The program was launched at half of the district's schools over the last couple months thanks to a $533,000 grant from the Jois Foundation, an Encinitas-based group that promotes Ashtanga Yoga."
- Local columnist for The North County Times Brigid Brett says this: "I feel sorry for the kids whose parents are allowing their unfounded fears of "the other" to get in the way of their well-being. These parents may want to consider that Hindus do not proselytize and that a Hindu child stands a far greater chance of being converted to Christianity than the other way around. They also may want to consider that religion is not a part of these classes at all and that the program has been stripped of all religious aspects, as Assistant Superintendent David Miyashiro has made clear…. We are living in an era when children are overstressed, overbombarded by technology and overmedicated. Who wouldn't want their children to be able to calm themselves in a safe and natural way?"
A Few Thoughts…
Brigid misses the point here with her commentary. Imagine this situation with Christian characters. Imagine that a class on meditation were being required for all students based on the wisdom of Proverbs from the Bible. The program would, of course, be stripped of all its religious aspects (as if that were possible). It is being funded by an outside group known as the Center for Better Living through Wiser Thinking. In this stressful, fast-paced world, who wouldn't want their kids to learn a little bit of time-tested wisdom of the ages? The fact is, we all know how this would end. That's not to say that yoga stretching, etc. cannot have physical value. But the fact is that education is not, and cannot be neutral.
If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, then knowledge cannot be neutral.
Mitch McConnel Says "Let's Deal with the Debt"
The Basics —
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that it's time to deal with the national debt and our "spending addiction" now that taxes have been dealt with.
Dig Deeper:
- Via ABC News: McConnell says taxes were never the problem. "Why we end up in these last-minute discussions is beyond me. We need to function," McConnell said. "I mean, the House of Representatives, for example, passed a budget every year. They've passed appropriation bills. The Senate Democratic majority and the president seem to like these last-minute deals."
- Via The Washington Times: House Minority Leader Pelosi says President Obama can raise the debt limit whenever he wants. "We always passed the debt ceiling when President Bush was president, as he was incurring these massive debts, and the Republicans weren't saying 'boo' at the time," Pelosi said of the expected February standoff. "If I were president, I would use the 14th Amendment, which says that the debt of the United States will always be paid."
- In related news, Obama supporters seem shocked that their taxes just went up. Imagine that.
A Few Thoughts…No, Ms. Pelosi, we were not incurring "these massive debts" when George Bush was President. Too much debt? Yes. This much? Not even close. McConnell is right. Spending is the problem. And there is no plan from the President to address that problem. By waiting until the last minute, Democrats are creating a crisis situation that gives them political leverage. If our leaders found themselves in the parable of the talents, I strongly suspect that what they have would be taken from them and given to another.
We can't always get what we want.
Sperm Donor for Lesbian Couple Must Now Pay Child Support
The Basics —
In a somewhat icky tale in Kansas, the courts are holding a sperm donor liable for child support after the lesbian couple split up, leaving the child's mother in dire financial straits.
Dig Deeper:
- Via CNN, the rest of the story, my apologies for too much information. After all, it is CNN.
- Via Hot Air, a little perspective and legal analysis saying that guy should have used an attorney and all that.
- Sage thoughts from John Gardner that might apply here:
No system of social arrangements, no matter how cleverly devised, no matter how democratic in character, is adequate to preserve freedom unless it is undergirded by certain habits and attitudes which are shared by members of the society.
A Few Thoughts….
Such is the tangled web we weave when we step away from Biblical wisdom and into a strange, new world where marriage is defined by man and not God. Some are arguing that this case is a good reason why we need marriage revised as a legal institution to accommodate such arrangements. I would argue that it is a good reason to stick to God's clear instructions on marriage, the family, and sexual behavior to insure all are protected. His commands are evidence of his love and protective care, not oppressive burdens placed upon us by a harsh dictator.
We ignore wisdom at our own peril.

Leinster Rugby vs Scarlets
Guinness Pro12 Round 17
RDS Showground, Dublin,
Saturday, 4th March 2017, 19:35
Television: Live TG4/S4C
So last week's fearsome trip to Rodney Parade turned into a fairly jolly romp in the end as Leinster ran in eight tries against a hapless Dragons outfit that were booed off the pitch by their own fans.
That's makes it a remarkable 60 tries for Leinster in this last 10 games in all competitions. The news got even better for Leinster when it turned out they had gone top of the table on the night. The previous leaders Munster had been 21-6 up at half-time and a bonus point win looked a forgone conclusion. Somehow the game turned on it's head and the away team scored three tries in ten minutes and then held on to win 30-21, denying Munster even a losing bonus point, which put Leinster top. So that's all good for Leinster, except for one thing. The team that did them a favour against Munster is the team they face tomorrow evening.
The Scarlets are the form team in the league and they've bounced back remarkably after losing their first three league games of the season. The win over Munster made it 12 wins out of their last 13 games, with only a defeat away to the Ospreys at Christmas blotting their copybook. Though they didn't get out of their European pool, they did manage to beat Toulon and draw with Saracens as home, which only served to increase their confidence. Their Kiwi coach Wayne Pivac has done a quietly effective job in his three years at the club. The Scarlets were always known as entertaining flakes who could play great rugby but crumbled under real pressure. Pivac seems to have added some steel and organisation to the club and it's interesting to see that though they're scoring less tries than in previous years, they're also conceding far less. Only Munster have a better defensive record this season.
One of their stars of the season has been former Leinster lock Tadhg Beirne. Beirne left Leinster at the end of last season with only a handful of appearances to his name. They knew little enough about him in Llanelli but they took a chance and since he's broken into the team he's been a revelation. His set-piece basics are excellent but where he really stands out is his immense work-rate and he's become an important part of the pack. He is named in an unchanged team, which is no surprise considering the win last week. Other names to look out in the pack are the prolific openside James Davies and South African prop Werner Kruger, who has added some ballast to the front five this season. In the backs 21 year old out-half Dan Jones looks a terrific prospect and they have a pair useful Kiwis in Johnny Mcnicholl and skipper Hadleigh Parkes. And of course the fantastic Canadian winger DTH van der Merwe is a serious danger man who always seems to score against Leinster no matter who he's playing for.
For Leinster, there's just three changes to the team that started last week. Luke McGrath comes in to start at scrum-half in the only change to the backline, which means Joey Carbery continues at full back. In the pack Hayden Triggs and Dan Leavy come in to start. Tom Daly is fit enough to take a place on the bench alongside the Byrne twins Ed and Brian who will get the chance to take to the field together for the first time in nearly two and a half years after Ed's return from serious injury last week.
Normally there's buckets of tries between these two teams and there was nine in the meeting earlier in the season when Scarlets won 38-29. However the weather forecast is dreadful for tomorrow evening, which could see the game turn into a bit of an arm wrestle. The more settled Scarlets team will still fancy their chances, but Leinster will be determined the finish the Six Nations period with four wins from four and to head into the final five games of the league season as table toppers.

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks announced winners of its "Keeps on Running" contest that invited customers to show how their Mitsubishi forklift truck has withstood the test of time.
The winner is a 1982 FGC25 Mitsubishi forklift truck used by Prescher Willette Seeds, a soybean farming company in Delavan, Minn. The family business, founded in 1933, raises, cleans, packs and ships more than 100,000 bags of soybeans on their 3,500-acre farm each year. The company won a brand new FGC25N Mitsubishi forklift truck.
"We currently have two Mitsubishi forklift trucks that are more than 20 years old, and we run them hard, especially in our busy spring and fall seasons," said Mike Hughes, plant manager of Prescher Willette Seed. "We've never had a need to replace the forklifts because they are so dependable and are always ready to run when we are."
"Keeps on Running" was open to customers who own and currently operate a small internal combustion (IC) cushion tire Mitsubishi forklift truck, with a capacity range of 2,000 lbs – 6,500 lbs.
The "oldest running Mitsubishi forklift truck in America" is not expected to stop running anytime soon. Hughes plans to operate all three of his Mitsubishi forklift trucks for many more years.

OK, OK, I really don't *need* any more china.
But I have totally fallen in love with the PiP Studio porcelain collection (available from John Lewis). In fact, I think it's probably the prettiest china I've ever seen.
Such a gorgeous vintage feel and the colours are fabulous.
The mix of designs ensure it's not remotely twee.
The range starts at a very reasonable £7.99 for a bowl or small jug, and the Teapot is £34.99.

Having spent large chunks of the past few winters in the Midwest, I've started to question the season's usefulness. On the vast and barren plains of the country's midsection, snow, ice, and cold temperatures only make everything more miserable than usual.
Were I prone to indulging in lame extended metaphors - which I am - I might say that life in the Midwest is like getting an endless root canal. During the spring, summer, and fall, the warm weather serves as a kind of face-numbing dose of Novocain. You understand that an evil cosmic dentist is drilling holes in your mouth with the glee of a hyena tearing the entrails from a gazelle, but you barely feel it.
During the winter, though, the cold weather brings your nerve-endings to life, and you feel whatever kind of unspeakable pain root canals entail. I've never actually undergone a root canal - if I'm good at anything, it's maintaining a pristine set of chompers - so I probably shouldn't have constructed this particular comparison. But what's done is done - and anyway, an anesthesia-free root canal can't possibly hurt worse than winters in the flatlands.
And therein lies my primary complaint against winters in the flatlands: they take place in the flatlands. Sure, the Midwest has a few "hills" - three, according to the World Book Encyclopedia - but when it comes to mountains, you're out of luck, Buck.
Indeed, merely mentioning the concept of "mountains" to native Midwesterners confuses and frightens them. The poor saps dismiss mountains as either the stuff of myth (the most superstitious old codgers call 'em "devil's humps") or the invention of amoral Hollywood bigwigs who don't care what kind of outrageous ideas their movies put in young people's heads, as long as they pull in huge wads of cash. For instance, Midwestern viewers regard the film Cliffhanger as a piece of fantastical and implausible fiction, when in reality it's a nonfiction documentary about Sylvester Stallone and John Lithgow's doomed 1993 attempt to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Anyway, semantics aside, the crux of my complaint isn't simply the Midwest's lack of mountains. The crux of my complaint is the Midwest's inexcusable lack of downhill skiing, a pastime that's been part of my life since the age of two, when my parents bundled me up in an adorably puffy one-piece snowsuit, strapped wooden blocks to my feet, and dropped me onto the slopes of Mt. Pisgah from a helicopter.
After seven years of intensive psychotherapy (including countless hours on the shock-treatment table), I was ready to hit the trails again. Admittedly, I started out shaky. For instance, I remember taking the connector trail from Excelsior to Lower Cloudspin with my dad during one of our early trips to Whiteface.
As we stood at the lip of Cloudspin's drop - which, to a nine-year-old coward, was as intimidating as peering over the edge of Niagara Falls - I eyed the dune-like moguls that had formed over the course of the day and imagined crashing into one of them at high velocity. In my mind, I watched myself launch out of my skis, hurtle through the air, and - inexplicably - burst into flames, all in super slow motion.
I voiced my concerns to my father, who said that he shared them - the launching-out-of-my-skis-and-hurtling-through-the-air part, at least - and we hiked back up the connector trail to Excelsior (a humiliating enterprise that took the better part of 30 minutes).
Despite early setbacks like the Lower Cloudspin incident, I eventually became a decent skier - thanks primarily to joining NYSEF, or the New York Ski Educational Foundation - and learned to thrive on the endorphin rush that accompanies rocketing down expert-only trails at speeds in excessive of 800 miles per hour.
In fact, I became addicted to that endorphin rush, which is why now - living in the flatter-than-a-warm-glass-of-beer Midwest - I've started to question winter's value. Whereas I used to spend the season in a euphoric haze that blinded me to the truth, I now suspect that winter is really a cold, bleak snooze-fest.
At this point, I'd even welcome a root canal - not for the excruciating pain, but for the cool caress of Novocain. Because while a shot of Novocain to the jaw might not provide a sense of euphoria, at least it would make me talk funny for a few hours, and that strikes me as better than nothing.

That's according to party leader Winston Peters, who says the five-year residency rule is being unfairly applied to residents of Realm countries: the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau.
Speaking at the Forbury Racecourse in Dunedin, Peters said it was "an abject disgrace" that the National Party had said the country was unable to afford changing the rule.
"It will be available to only a few hundred yet (they) give full NZ Super to over 87,000 who have come to this country and acquire full NZ Super, and all its benefits, after just 10 years' residence here, whether they have made any contribution or not."
Unlike National and Labour, who he claimed had repeatedly back-tracked on NZ Super, NZ First had never diverted from its stand, Peters said.
In 2015 a new law was introduced in New Zealand to allow people in the Realm countries to return to the islands after the age of 55 and still get their pensions at 65.
Previously, a person had to be "resident and present" in New Zealand at the time of their application.
However, the move wasn't seen as enough by New Zealand MP and Cook Islander Poto Williams, who said shortly after it was introduced that the Labour Party had not given up on further easing the way for retiring Cook Islanders to collect their NZ Super while living in the Cooks.
The issue is that to qualify for super payments, retirees need to have been resident and present in New Zealand for five years after the age of 50.
And pleas to the New Zealand government for change have fallen on deaf ears.
At a meeting in 2015 with prime minister John Key, who visited the country briefly during the Cook Islands 50-year commemoration of self-government in association with New Zealand, then Demo leader William Heather wrote an open letter to Key, saying Cook Islanders need a "hand up rather than a hand out from New Zealand.
Heather wrote that the present NZ Super law was "indirectly contributing to depopulation in the Cook Islands".
It meant large numbers of Cook Islanders were leaving home late in life to head to New Zealand in order to qualify for superannuation - a move described as "counter-intuitive" given they often had no skill sets and ended up on the benefit system.
Key said it would be too costly for New Zealand to reduce the five-year residency requirement.
The issue came to the fore again earlier this year during a visit by outgoing New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully.
At a press conference on Rarotonga, McCully said advice given by New Zealand Treasury that relaxing the rules for Realm countries would be too costly had been proven wrong.
"The cost of this scheme to the New Zealand budget has been a fraction than what was originally forecast."
And he said just 42 Cook Islanders had qualified under the new pension rules since 2013.
"I'm going to do what any sensible minister should do and that is, armed with the facts go back into the system."
"I've always said when the facts are on the table, we will look at it again and the facts as we now have them have proven the representations of the prime minister (Henry Puna) and myself right and advice of the New Zealand Treasury wrong," said McCully.
Prime minister Henry Puna said he intended to do "what any sensible PM will do, and that is help make that happen."
Meanwhile, a NZ First source on Rarotonga said yesterday New Zealand had begun deducting savings from the Cook Islands National Superannuation Fund, which were private savings, from NZ Super payments.
"This is akin to means testing," the source said.
"Winston also promises to remove that iniquity."

text: The filmmaker's childhood was filled with bombings and assassination attempts on her father, a former comrade of Fidel Castro. Weisman explores her relationship with her father and the Cuba he left behind. Through the eyes of a daughter we explore the past, the present, and the nature of social responsibility and personal sacrifice. The movie contains highly controversial top-secret audiotapes of a CIA trained Cuban exile terrorist who is in the middle of a trial and incarcerated by Homeland Security. During the 1970s and 1980s, there were as many as seven bombings in one day and hundreds per year carried out by anti-Castro terrorists in Miami.

The longest days of summer are already behind us…
It's pure insanity. It feel like summer just began a few days ago, and I realized last night that the longest days of summer are already behind us. From here on out, the days start getting shorter and we work our way right back to sunset at 4:22pm in the middle of December. FOUR TWENTY TWO.
Most of our fun times were had on our late winter and early spring vacations, so summer has been spent mostly at home, meeting new neighbors, finding new things to do close to home, and visiting family.
I will give a brief mention to our very short trip to the Highland Games in Oak Brook…
…but that was a bit of a disaster. I had a bad feeling about the day before it started and it just ended up being unpleasant for everyone. It was oppressively hot and incredibly overcrowded. We had no plan and no purpose, we just wandered aimlessly with nowhere to be. The kids enjoyed the activities that were decidedly not Scottish in nature, but I was cranky just being there. I can say with some certainty that mom will not be inviting us again next year. That's fine with me because to be honest, I feel pretty lame wandering around the Scottish festival when I haven't the slightest bit of Scottish blood.
There was my fun little get together on Saturday with a couple other photographers. We just wandered around downtown looking for fun spots. It was noon when we got there, so we had to be creative with the light, but it was really fun to just shoot for me, no pressure, no expectations. Bailey stayed home because I couldn't trust her to stay out of traffic, but Brandon allowed me to contract him for a day's work as my model for the hefty sum of $5.
And just to be fair, I asked Bailey to spare me a few minutes of her time for a few pictures in the backyard.
And yes, I am getting a little tired of pictures in the backyard, but these really were the last of the summer. The corn is already too high to catch any more evening backlight.

We started by using hot glue to make a circle of pinecones, putting a progressively smaller circle on top of each previous one until we topped it with a single pinecone and had our tree shape. We then hot-glued paper boxes (wrapped like presents in fabric and ribbon), bows, jingle bells, and a few other ornament-type items to the niches in between the pinecones. It made a beautiful tree that lasted for at least a decade, before succumbing to an ill-fated move. I bet your kiddos would enjoy doing something like that. Of course, your boys would probably rather hold a contest to see how far various pinecones could be catapulted through the air using a homemade trebuchet or something.Inklinghttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-33940885906655538572008-11-13T06:27:00.000-09:002008-11-13T06:27:00.000-09:00This makes me sad there's no oak trees around here...This makes me sad there's no oak trees around here.kaduseyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-37187494881212829072008-11-13T06:05:00.000-09:002008-11-13T06:05:00.000-09:00i love the napkin holders they are perfect!!

Ashland Performance Materials continues its initiative to help educate architects, engineers and builders through its sponsorship of the composite building materials website CompositeBuild.com. For the sixth consecutive year, Ashland will highlight some of the many benefits of composite materials during the 2015 Greenbuild* International Conference and Expo. The event, to be held November 18-19 in Washington, D.C., is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to "green" building.
CompositeBuild.com provides users with a convenient resource to research and learn about composite building products, and provides links to fabricators from whom users can get more detailed information on specific composite materials.
Ashland's 2015 CompositeBuild.com exhibit will provide attendees with hands-on experiences that demonstrate key composite properties, such as corrosion resistance, high strength to weight, low thermal conductivity and design flexibility.
"The goal of the CompositeBuild.com site is to help educate the design and building community about the many ways that composites are being used in commercial and residential construction," said Bob Moffit, Ashland Performance Materials product manager for the Building and Construction market. "The website provides case studies of composites in building applications and outlines the performance and environmental benefits."
Find out more by visiting the CompositeBuild.com exhibit at booth #2905 during the expo or online at www.compositebuild.com.

Most stretch marks are caused by pregnancy or weight loss/gain, which can both result in the breakdown of collagen in the skin. Although stretch marks cannot be reversed, they can be removed by resurfacing the skin and stimulating new collagen formation. With four convenient locations serving Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine, Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, led by double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Phillip Garcia, offers stretch mark removal.
One of the most effective systems to improve the skin's appearance is fractional resurfacing. By altering the damaged areas and prompting the fibroblasts to divide, the laser's potent energy is able to encourage the thickening of collagen and regenerated new skin cells to change the stretch mark tissue. Once the stretch mark tissue resembles the normal skin, the treatment process is completed. This effective stretch mark removal treatment typically requires multiple sessions to show noticeable results.
Stretch Marks – Old and New, White and Red
The most common types of skin lesions are stretch marks. Stretch marks are sometimes mistaken as scars. The two kinds of stretch marks are red and white. While older and mature stretch marks are silver or white, newer stretch marks are often red or purple. Pregnant women are prone to develop stretch marks. Adolescent females and males may also develop stretch marks during puberty.
1540 Fractional Resurfacing
As one of the more recent and advanced skin resurfacing technologies, the Palomar® Lux1540 fractional laser is designed to smooth the skin and improve skin discoloration. Palomar®'s patented fractional laser technology provides non-ablative skin resurfacing with no downtime.
StarLux® Fractional Laser Stretchmark Treatment
Since each session treats about 20 to 25 percent of the area of the skin with stretch marks, the Palomar® 1540 fractional skin resurfacing treatments are the most effective when performed in a series of sessions. The treatment works by delivering light in an array of microbeams. The purpose of these key microbeams is to facilitate a natural healing process in the dermis, which is the layer below the epidermis.
When small portions of the skin are successfully treated, the nearby untreated skin covers the treated areas with healthy and normal skin while leaving vital tissue around each microbeam undamaged. The fractional treatment of the skin ultimately encourages the skin to heal quickly. The Palomar® Lux1540's wide range of energy per microbeam, as well as the significant depth of penetration, also results in quick healing of the nearby deep tissue. The laser can penetrate as deep as one millimeter. The success of the Lux1540 lies in its unique ability to deliver uniform microbeam penetration, which differs from traditional devices.
Throughout the entire treatment, the skin is always carefully maintained in order to prevent infection during the important healing process. The treatment results in improved skin color, texture, tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. Unlike other skin resurfacing technologies, the fractional treatment requires minimal downtime after creating smooth and youthful looking skin.
Comfort and Contact Cooling
In order for the treatments to be as comfortable and smooth as possible, the Palomar® Lux1540 delivers its microbeams with one short and quick pulse. The treatment also provides active contact cooling. Patients will receive topical numbing when undergoing the Palomar® Lux1540 treatment.
Ideal Candidates for Stretch Mark Removal
The perfect candidates for stretch mark removal are men, women, and children who would like to remove red or white striae that are the result of growth spurts, excess weight gain or bodybuilding. The most typical clients for stretch mark removal are new moms who developed stretch marks after giving birth. The laser is suitable for all skin types including dark skin.
Typical Results of Stretch Mark Removal
Clients can expect a 50 to 95 percent improvement in the reduction of red or white stretch marks. In addition, there will be a significant improvement in the overall tone and texture of the skin. As new collagen is gradually produced, the skin will be much lighter and more elastic.
How Much Does It Cost for Stretch Mark Removal in Jacksonville?
Throughout the initial consultation, the costs associated with stretch mark removal will be discussed with you. The exact price of the treatment will depend on your personalized goals and priorities, as well as the severity of your stretch marks. Along with cash and credit cards, our office accepts CareCredit® to simplify the financing process.
Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery is the leading facial plastic surgery center on the First Coast. As a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, specializing solely in cosmetic facial procedures, Dr. Phillip Garcia provides his North Florida patients with exceptional skills and results that last. For more information on stretch mark removal or to schedule a consultation at one of our four convenient locations in Jacksonville (Town Center), Julington Creek, Fleming Island or Palm Coast, please contact us today.

MK 50 speaker
What's your favorite speaker for the MK50? I know it's voiced for a vintage 30. Im using v-30's in a marshall 4x12 and a Port City 2x12. I have a scumback m-75 in a Boogie Thiele 1x12, great speaker for recording. Thinking of trying some warehouse speakers, also interested in the Celestion heritage series. I like the vintage 30's but they can be a little beamy in a closed back cabinet.

When he arrived as a skinny center fielder in the mid-1930s, Joe DiMaggio was expected to replace Babe Ruth as the star of the New York Yankees. The bar was set very high for the young ballplayer, but he did the unimaginable – he surpassed the predictions and became one of the very best players to ever play baseball.
"DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards," Ted Williams said. "It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country."
Williams should have known – he squared off against DiMaggio for nearly a decade, and in 1941 while he was hitting over .400 he saw The Yankee Clipper do the unthinkable by hitting safely in 56 straight games. For those who saw both DiMaggio and Williams there isn't anyone who believed that Ted was the ballplayer that Joe was. There wasn't anything that Joe DiMaggio couldn't do on a baseball field. His grace and brilliance transcended his era and leave him among the few legends of the game.
In his rookie season, DiMaggio batted .323, but most impressively for a 21-year old facing big league pitching for the first time, he hit for power in Yankee Stadium, something that wasn't easy for a right-handed batter. That season he hit 44 doubles, led the league with 15 triples, and slugged 29 homers in 138 games. It was just the tip of the ice berg: in his second season he led the AL in homers and slugging; at the age of 24 he batted .381 and won his first batting title. He won another the next season. In his first six seasons, Joe D hit .345 and drove in 816 runs in 825 games. He may not have been Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig, but he was an all-around player like the Yankees had never had before. DiMaggio could run, hit, hit for power, field, and throw. He made playing center field an art form. He did everything so gracefully it looked like it was easy for him, so much so that at times he received criticism for not "trying hardf enough."
DiMaggio won two MVP Awards before World War II, missed three seasons while in the service, then came back and was still a great player, winning another MVP trophy. Though he played only 13 seasons, DiMaggio received MVP votes in 12 of them, finishing in the top ten nine times. He was a natural, as manager Joe McCarthy said, "I don't think anyone can ever put into words the great things DiMaggio did. Of all the stars I've known, DiMaggio needed the least coaching."
His star was not fixed only to baseball. DiMaggio's private life was fodder for newspapers and newsreels. His marriage to Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe made the couple even more popular and scrutinized. In 1941 when he had his 56-game hitting streak, a song by Les Brown titled "Joltin' Joe" hit #1 on the charts.
For more than two months, from May 15 to July 17, the Yankee star got a hit in every game, stretching his record streak to 56 games. During the streak he batted .408 with an incredible 91 hits. He slugged 16 doubles, four triples, 15 homers, and drove in 55 runs. His hot hitting caught the imagination of not only sports fans, but all Americans, who each day asked the question, "How many did Joe get today?" The record has stood for more than 70 years and seems unlikely to be broken.
DiMaggio anchored some of the greatest Yankee teams in history. The 1936-1939 club, which featured the duo of the young DiMaggio and veteran Gehrig, became the first to win four straight World Series. The team was so dominant that they lost only three Series games in the four years and at one point won nine straight. In his 13 years in the majors, DiMaggio's Yankees won 10 pennants and lost only one World Series (to Stan Musial and the St. Louis Cardinals in '42). DiMaggio, as much as Ruth and Gehrig, established the Yankees as a dynasty, and he was the first great Yankee star in the feud between New York and Boston. For most of his career his brother Dominic played center field for the rival Red Sox, who fought the Yankees hard for the pennant from 1946-1950. Joe's older brother Vince was a center fielder in the National League from 1937-1946 who was also known for his great defensive play.
- After his 1941 season, in which Joe DiMaggio hit in a record 56 consecutive games, the New York Yankees president Ed Barrow offered his star outfielder a ,000 pay cut. According to Dom, Joe's brother, Barrow liked to remind Joe that "our boys in uniform are making a month."

Hurray for such an informative post~!
A trick that i use for my average consumer camera is, (for those whom have super shaky hands like me) :
Raise the ISO to 400 and set the image resolution to the highest.
It will result in a sharper image but the downside is, the image at its full resolution will be grainy. But you can bring it to photoshop, resize to the average 450x600 (the grain will be greatly lessen, then blur 1 pixel or 2, and you can have a pretty clear image.
I play with photoshop alot due to the limited function that i can do with my normal average digital camera. It takes a bit more effort and time to edit and enhance in photoshop to make the photos looks presentable. Photoshop really works wonder! but then again the photo itself must not be too blur beyond redemption.
About composition, I guess it takes time to improve with practises. Go look at those photography books at Kino, Pageone..etc and look at various styles, lighting, colors...etc
T_T I'm working on that too.

Umatilla keeps bear on new logo
By Teresa Burney, Correspondent
February 17, 2014
UMATILLA — There was no doubt the black bear would stay on Umatilla's new logo when talk began about creating a new one. The orange, however, was up for debate, and then there was the matter of what other images best embodied the spirit of the little town on the edge of the Ocala National Forest. "There was no getting around it," said Mandy Wettstein, marketing director of That! Company, which helped lead the town through the rebranding process. "Umatilla and the black bear are wedded.

Fort Christmas celebrates holidays with annual Cracker Christmas festival
Jim Abbott on Florida Travel and Postcards from Florida
November 10, 2012
Sitting in a rocking chair, basking in the quiet of a lovely fall afternoon at Fort Christmas Historical Park in east Orange County, I almost believe that I could have been a pioneer settler. Then, I look at the primitive appliances in the kitchen and realize that I wouldn't last a day in the 19th century, even if I do like to wear cowboy boots. Fortunately, the park offers a window into the lifestyle of Central Florida settlers with its annual Cracker Christmas, a free festival that has been celebrating pioneer history for 35 years.

The town where it's always Christmas
By Jim Abbott, Sentinel Columnist
November 8, 2009
Orlando's eastern side has exploded with development since my bygone days at the University of Central Florida. Yet there's still the lure of unspoiled old Florida wilderness, if you're willing to look for it. Just drive far enough east on State Road 50, about 15 miles beyond the Alafaya Trail intersection that leads the way to UCF, and you'll come upon Fort Christmas Road, the gateway to the tiny town of Christmas.. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Heck, a Santa statue is always on duty on the intersection of 50 and Fort Christmas Road, as part of a year-round holiday display that makes the most of the town's holiday name.

Hot conditions are affecting the condition of Newman airport's runway, forcing the airport to shut.
Closing the airport on Sunday, the decision has reportedly delayed the official opening at BHP Billiton's Jimblebar mine site.
A number of aircraft reported tyres had become sticky after using the runway, WA Today reports.
It is understood a substance used to improve the runway during the wet season is not reacting the way management had expected, causing the tarmac to become tacky when exposed to heat.
Newman airport staff are working to resolve the issue.
The airport is expected to remain closed for the rest of Monday.

Often fans who can spout current scoring figures down to their last decimal point know little about pro basketball's top rebounders. Ask them to tick off the National Basketball Association's current top 10 and they might begin with Moses Malone and Artis Gilmore, but it's doubtful many could complete the list: Jeff Ruland, Mark Eaton, Bill Laimbeer, Buck Williams, Jay Vincent, Larry Smith, LaSalle Thompson, and Larry Bird.
Some of these players, to be sure, are of the ''tall timber'' variety, but a goodly number are only average by NBA frontcourt standards. Then too, the list includes a handful of guys with no better than average jumping ability. So much for the commonly held notions that height automatically makes might around the boards, or that leaping skills are paramount.
Bill Russell, the Hall of Fame center who once led the Boston Celtics to 11 championships in 13 years, has frequently made these points.
''What most people don't realize,'' he says, ''is that 75 percent of all rebounds in pro basketball are taken below the height of the rim. While the ability to jump well helps, often the bottom line is anticipation, or simply being in the right place at the right time.
''Since no two objects can occupy the same place at the same time, it's important to get there first.''
Pound for pound, or maybe it should be inch for inch, the best rebounder in the NBA for the past three years has been 6 ft. 8 in. forward Buck Williams of the New Jersey Nets. Williams's 1,000 grabs last season were exceeded only by 6 ft. 11 in. center Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Pistons. Far from being a one-dimensional player, Buck (who was NBA Rookie of the Year in 1981-82) is also a good scorer and a better-than-average shot blocker.
''I played for a junior high school coach who would rather see you get a rebound than score a point,'' Williams said. ''Somehow that impressed me. It made me want to get rebounds for a coach who never failed to praise a player whenever he worked hard under the boards. Anyway, I got good at rebounding. Hitting the boards became part of my game, and it never seemed to take away from my scoring.
''At the University of Maryland (which he left after his junior year to turn pro), there was no reason to change,'' Buck continued. ''I just kept hitting the boards the way I had in high school, and the payoff was the same. I helped the team and I also created scoring opportunities for myself.
''When New Jersey drafted me, I was told that if I showed the referees right away that I was a physical player, that if I kept going to the boards like I owned them, they wouldn't call any more fouls on me than they did on anyone else. Looking back, it was good advice.''
Desire, of course, helps explain why even non-leapers like Laimbeer, Ruland, and Bird are forces on the boards.
Probably the chief reason why so many writers and broadcasters voted Bird the NBA's Most Valuable Player for 1983-84 - aside from his leadership - was his ability to rebound in the clutch.
Bird was the league's seventh-leading scorer, more than 500 points behind champion Adrian Dantley of the Utah Jazz. But in a game that owes most its popularity to high-visibility scoring, his rebounding and defense were never lost on the experts.
Bird has only average speed and has never been able to soar like Julius Erving or spectacular Chicago Bulls rookie Michael Jordan. But he is a tireless battler who had more defensive rebounds last season than Philadelphia's redoubtable Malone.
While this is probably an exaggeration, defensive rebounds are said to be worth four points - the two points the other team didn't get by losing the ball and the two points the team that gained possession is going to score.
Oh, were it all that simple! Sometimes, of course, it does happen in just that manner. But to assign a specific value to all rebounds is to also assume that all baskets count the same.
Technically they do, if taken within the two-point shooting perimeter. It's clear, however, that baskets tossed in by either side when one team leads by 20 points in the last minutes don't mean as much as those scored when the game is in the balance.
The one thing everybody agrees on is that no NBA franchise has ever won a world championship without benefit of strong and consistent rebounding.

When I plug directly into the router, the speed is just fine.
I've went through all my processes and startup programs and stopped almost everything from running, but it didn't help. I have constant Excellent/5 bars connectivity.
I'm using a 54mb Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router & Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The first look the Battlefield 1 single player campaign gives us a look at the characters and new campaign details. The Graphics look impressive and if the story mode can hold what the highly cinematic trailer promises, we could look at one of the more interesting Battlefield Campaigns.
New Campaign Details
The Battlefield 1 campaign will let you play 4 different characters. A message-runner, fighter pilot, an armor crewman, and a rebel fighter. What's exciting and a new approach in Battlefield 1 is the way the missions are structured. According to lead-designer Danny Berlin, the campaign mode will take a page from the multiplayer mode and bring the sandbox feeling to the usually narrow paths from previous Battlefield games.
What that really means and how open the Missions will turn out remains to be seen, but for now Battlefield 1 seems to be shaping up nicely.
Battlefield 1 will be released on October 21 for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.
