This Dormer A190 jobber length drill bit set contains high-speed steel drill bits with a black oxide finish and a 118-degree conventional point for use in general-purpose applications on ferrous material. High-speed steel (HSS) provides hardness for wear resistance, and the black oxide finish acts as a lubricant to reduce wear while promoting chip and coolant flow. These jobber length drill bits have a drilling depth up to four times their diameter. The round shank accommodates most drill chucks. The set comes in an index case with labeled compartments for identification and organization. Drill bits conform to Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) 338 standard.Drill bits are cutting tools used to make holes in a range of materials using machines such as handheld portable drills, machining centers, and lathes. Drill bits come in a variety of lengths and types, the most common of which is the twist drill bit. The round, twisted shaft of the twist drill bit typically has two cutting edges and flutes. The helical twist of the flutes brings chips up and away from the cutting edges and allows for coolant to reach the cutting edges. Jobber length twist drill bits, the most common length of twist drill bit, offer a good compromise of length and reach to work with the widest range of materials and applications. Mechanic's length twist drill bits (also called maintenance length) are a little shorter than jobber length and less prone to deflection when drilling. Short length twist drill bits (also called stub or screw-machine length) are the shortest and stiffest twist drill bits, helping to reduce the chance of deflection or breakage when drilling. Reduced shank drill bits (also called Silver and Deming drill bits) have a shank that is smaller in diameter than its shaft, permitting drilling machines with either a 1/2" or 3/4" drill chuck to create large holes. Long length twist drill bits (also called taper length) are a little longer than jobber length, allowing for deeper holes and longer reach. Extra long twist drill bits (also called extension) are longer than long length twist drill bits for greater reach or for drilling deeper holes.What's in the Box?

Aid officials warn it's too soon to declare Yazidi mission accomplished
Humanitarian aid workers warned Thursday that it was too soon to declare the U.S. mission to aid Yazidi refugees in northern Iraq a success, noting that at least 100,000 residents who fled the Islamic State's capture of Sinjar now crowd cities and refugee camps and will need humanitarian assistance for months to come.
There is no prospect that Islamic State militants will be pushed from Sinjar soon _ the only long-term solution to the Yazidi displacement.
"We don't know exactly how many are still out there, it's just too widely dispersed an area," said one international aid worker who spoke anonymously because he did not have approval from his group's media relations office. "But what we know is over 100,000 people are going to need to be cared for, for the foreseeable future at least. And that's on top of what was already a massive crisis in the rest of Iraq with over 1 million people displaced from their homes."
The comment was in response to President Barack Obama's declaration that U.S. military actions in northern Iraq had broken what he called the siege of a desolate mountain range where tens of thousands of Yazidis had fled after the Islamic State captured the nearby city of Sinjar.
In a brief appearance before reporters in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., where he is on vacation, Obama said that it was "unlikely" United States aircraft would drop more food and water over the desolate Sinjar mountains and that "the majority" of 129 military advisers deployed to Irbil to help plan aid operations would soon depart Iraq.
"Americans should be very proud of our efforts," Obama said, only a week after he had authorized U.S. military action to protect the Yazidis. "Because of the skill and professionalism of our military and the generosity of our people, we broke the . . . siege of Mount Sinjar, we helped vulnerable people reach safety, and we helped save many innocent lives."
Kurdish militia fighters who battled Islamic State forces near Sinjar suggested that the humanitarian crisis would not end until Sinjar had been retaken _ and that that would require much more aggressive bombing from the United States, a prospect not anticipated in Obama's current authorizations for the use of force. Those limit U.S. airstrikes to protecting American people and property and preventing Islamic State attacks on the Yazidis.
"The fighting is very heavy at times and the Americans have helped with some airstrikes, but there have not been many," said Hamid, a militia commander who was one of hundreds of Syrian Kurds who crossed into Iraq to help battle the Islamic State near Sinjar. He agreed to speak but asked that only his first name be used.
On a break back in Syria, where he was reached by phone, Hamid said U.S. bombing strikes had provided only limited assistance.
"They helped us clear a path for the refugees, but it will not be enough to remove Daash from the area," he said, using the disparaging Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. "With more bombings we could liberate Sinjar and they could all go home."
At the Pentagon, spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said that of the 25 airstrikes mounted by U.S. aircraft since Friday, about half were on targets connected to the Sinjar humanitarian mission. Kirby said the authorization for air strikes to protect the Yazidis remained in effect, but with the Yazidis off the mountains, air strikes related to their protection seemed unlikely.
The authorization to strike Islamic State targets that might threaten Kurdish forces' hold on Irbil, where the United States maintains a large consulate, a CIA station and a joint military operations center, was also active.
Four strikes under that authorization took place on Thursday, the U.S. Central Command announced, including a pair that destroyed an Islamic State-operated MRAP, the first time one of one of the U.S.-provided heavily armored vehicles that Islamic State militants captured when they pushed through Iraq in June had been reported to have been targeted.
The U.S. account offered insight into why Kurdish forces have complained that they need heavier weapons to confront an Islamic State armed with such U.S.-provided weapons systems. U.S. aircraft first struck the MRAP, which was designed to withstand roadside bombs, northeast of Irbil at approximately 6:40 p.m. local time. "After initial assessment," Centcom said, U.S. aircraft returned at about 7:55 p.m. and "destroyed the MRAP."
Details of the assessment team's 24-hour visit to the Sinjar mountains suggested that the U.S. aid effort may have provided the refugees more psychological than actual value.
The dozen or so troops who spent time in the mountains reported seeing thousands of military meals-ready-to-eat strewn unopened on the hillsides. The United States dropped 114,000 MREs over six days, with the last delivery of more than 14,000 coming Wednesday night after the visiting assessment team had concluded there were few people still in the mountains.
A senior defense official, who commented on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said the final drop had gone ahead because "that shipment already was in the pipeline."
U.S. officials believe that reports of U.S. airstrikes and the food drops gave Yazidis who'd fled to the mountains confidence that they could safely leave. In the days leading up to the assessment, thousands successfully made their way down the mountains and to neighboring Iraqi and Syrian cities.
The assessment team found no bodies in the area it surveyed, and while Kirby said that as many as 4,000 people remained in the mountains, other officials said the assessors had concluded the number might be as low as 1,000. Of those still there, as many as half appeared to be permanent residents or did not want to leave.
Of those who still wanted to go, 90 percent were leaving by truck, the assessment team found.
The Pentagon did not offer any comment to questions about how aggressively the Islamic State had besieged the mountains amid accounts from the region that leave it unclear whether a siege had been imposed. One defense official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, said that he would not have used the word to describe what took place.
While early news accounts after Sinjar fell described Islamic State militants hunting down Yazidis to execute them, the Islamic State never described the mountains as a target, as it had done with other military objectives. None of the Yazidi self-defense forces formed to protect the refugees on the mountains reported fighting Islamic State militants, and while Iraqi army helicopters reported taking fire when they flew over Islamic State lines, none was shot down.
One key question that remained a subject of speculation was how many Yazidis were ever trapped on the mountains. The United Nations initially suggested that 40,000 had fled there, and as recently as Tuesday it reported that between 20,000 and 30,000 were likely still there.
U.S. aerial photographs suggested far fewer, but officials were worried that the photos had captured the same people more than once. The trapped Yazidis "kept moving," the senior defense official said.
In the days leading up to the assessment, thousands successfully made their way out of the mountains and to neighboring Iraqi and Syrian cities, the Pentagon said. Still, they described the assessment team as surprised by how few people it found still on the mountains.
Privately, some blamed the news media for overstating the situation, leading to confusion about how dire the situation was.

Unetbootin, Vista 32bit hell and other stories
Zoe had a friend who was having some computer problems and I suppose to some extent I brought this upon myself. Thankfully, I now have a strategy. Of course this is probably like 10 hours where I am far too deep in to start strategizing, but I now have a strategy.
Lets pretend for a moment you have a 32 bit Core-Duo laptop running Windows Vista Home 32bit that is infected with malware and viruses and acting generally poorly, what do you do? Well, my friend, you take your 8GB flash key that has an already built 9.04 Ubuntu Kernel on it, you boot it from that and run ClamAV using the ClamTK GUI. It works. It found a couple of viruses on the backup HD and I feel safer about backup data as well as my data on my Windows 7 machine. Thankfully, since I'm principally running OS X and 9.04 MythBuntu these days we're highly prone to viruses, but nonetheless, I was concerned about re-infection with her external USB hard drive as well as her 4GB Flash Key.
Step 1) Use Unetbootin to load a flash key with a bootable version of the Linux of your choice
Step 2) Boot up the sick (dying) notebook with that USB flash drive
Step 3) Scan all files with ClamAV under Linux, then backup all data
Step 4) Wipe the old computer clean and re-install Windows (this part is oh so familiar) & leave ~ 20GB for a separate EXT3 Linux partition
Step 5) Institute a backup as well as best practice anti-virus procedures
Step 6) Install Linux in the 20GB spare rescue partition in case this happens again!
Step 7) After about a year Windows XP will be gunked up again, so repeat! (see Step 1)

T-Mobile Offers iPhone Trade Deal
(NEW YORK) -- After five years, wireless carrier T-Mobile will finally start selling the iPhone on Friday. But the company is also sweetening the deal for customers.
From April 12 through June 16, customers will be able to bring in their used iPhone 4 or 4S and trade it in for credit towards the iPhone 5, allowing them to get the new phone without putting money down.
If they bring in an old iPhone 4 or 4S, customers will get the iPhone 5 without having to make a $100 down payment. They will additionally receive a credit of $120 depending on the type and condition of the iPhone brought in. The rest of the cost of the phone can be paid off over the next two years at $20 per month. The credit can also be used towards a service bill or even accessories.
The iPhone 5 will be offered with T-Mobile's contract-free Simple Choice Plan. Customers won't have to sign a contract on the phone -- instead they pay month-to-month for their cellular bill and can back out anytime. The plan starts at $50 and offers unlimited voice calls, texting and 500MB of data. Adding 2GB a month costs an additional $10 and unlimited data adds $20 more.
But because there is no contract and T-Mobile isn't subsidizing the cost of the phone, buyers have to either pay the price of the phone either upfront or over two years. In this case, the iPhone costs $99 upfront, but customers who trade in an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will have that cost waved. The phone will still cost $24 per month.
Verizon, AT&T and Sprint offer the iPhone 5 for $199, but only offer a two-year contract, wedding customers to the carrier for two years.
T-Mobile, which has been the smallest of the major four U.S. carriers, announced last week that it gained subscribers in the first quarter of the year, it's first such gain in years.

Missouri Law Restricts Help with Affordable Care Act
COLUMBIA - Mid-Missourians are in the process of signing up for health care insurance through the President's Health Care Act, but a Missouri law restricts the help they can receive in the process.
The President's new Health Care Act requires states to have federally contracted one-on-one counselors to give assistance, educate and reach out to those signing up for coverage. These counselors are called navigators.
The only federal requirement for a person to become a certified navigator is to take a 20-hour course online. In Missouri, however, there are tougher requirements a person must go through. Governor Jay Nixon signed Senate Bill 262 in July. The law requires all potential navigators to not only obtain a federal certification, but also receive a state license. In order to receive a state license, navigators must pass an exam and pay a licensing fee up to 50 dollars.
The law also restricts navigators from offering any advice to insurance shoppers. They are only allowed to give information about coverage options, rather than suggest what plans might be best for a person. Missouri is one of eight states to enforce these rules.
Jay Angoff is an attorney in Washington D.C. and represents health care interests of the White House. He's a former Missouri insurance commissioner and was directly involved in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Angoff said the Missouri law handcuffs the help that navigators can offer.
"Approximately a dozen states have enacted legislation that establishes burdensome requirements that effectively prevent many of the organizations designated in the statute from being navigators, and prevents navigators from carrying out the duties the Affordable Care Act requires them to carry out even if they overcome these burdens," Angoff said.
Missouri Republican Party Director of Communications, Matt Wills, thinks Missouri legal restrictions help consumers.
"I think the perspective is there that my privacy is being protected, I'm, as a person, being put first and foremost here, and not just being another number in another insurance company," Wills said. "I think that anytime that people are put ahead of bureaucracy, that's a good thing. I think this is a step in the right direction as to understanding that people come first."
The two main organizations in mid-Missouri that offer navigator services are Primaris and the Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
"We're asking people if they are finished with the federal training, reach out to your local community organizations, local non-profits, and see if you can schedule an education event," said Primaris Navigator Program Manager Jeremy Milarsky. "Most people have a lot of questions about this new law, and we're here to help with that."
There is no cost for a counsel session and navigators are prohibited from charging the public for their services. Milarsky said Primaris hasn't been extremely busy so far, and that might be due to the glitches on the federal website. He suggests consumers wait a while to sign up for insurance in order to avoid any issues.
"It's important to realize that this is a marathon, not a sprint and the open enrollment period is a six month period," said Milarsky. "We can help answer questions, we can explain the Affordable Care Act to people. We can explain how to work with the marketplace."
For a list of specific state requirements to become a navigator, visit the Missouri Department of Insurance's website.

Hanoi (hăn´oi, hənoi´), city (1997 est. pop. 3,500,800), capital of Vietnam, on the right bank of the Red River. It is the transportation hub of the country, with two airports and rail connections to Kunming, China, as well as to the main Chinese system centering on Beijing; it is also linked by rail with Haiphong and Ho Chi Minh City. Manufactures include machine tools, plywood, textiles, chemicals, matches, automobiles, tires, building materials, and handicrafts. The city is known for its European-style public squares and tree-lined boulevards. It is also a cultural center; in the city are the National Univ. (formerly Hanoi Univ.), the National History Museum, the Revolution Museum, and several historic monuments, including the Temple of Literature, the Mot Cot Pagoda, and the Temple of the Trung Sisters.
Hanoi became (7th cent.) the seat of the Chinese rulers of Vietnam. Its Chinese name, Dong Kinh or Tong King, became Tonkin and was applied by Europeans to the entire region. Hanoi was occupied briefly by the French in 1873 and passed to them 10 years later. It became the capital of French Indochina after 1887. The French developed Hanoi industrially, centering railway repair shops and small processing industries there.
Occupied by the Japanese in 1940, Hanoi was liberated in 1945, when it became the seat of Vietnam's government. From 1946 to 1954, it was the scene of heavy fighting between the French and Viet Minh forces. After the French evacuated Hanoi in accordance with the Geneva Conference (July, 1954), the city became the capital of North Vietnam. Under the North Vietnamese it was greatly expanded industrially.
During the Vietnam War its transportation facilities were continually disrupted by the bombing of bridges and railways, which were, however, immediately repaired. The city remained remarkably intact despite heavy U.S. bombings, although widespread destruction occurred after the massive attacks of Dec. 18–30, 1972, when many nonmilitary targets, including the French embassy and large residential areas, were hit. Much of the civilian population had been evacuated and factories had been dismantled and reassembled in forested and rural areas. After the cease-fire, much of the machinery was returned and functioned again in ruined structures. Hanoi was established as the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on July 2, 1976.

Sacred Heart Community Service is launching a campaign to support a new fee on developers that would be used to build affordable housing locally.
Citing the loss of Redevelopment Agency funds that once supported affordable housing, the Sacred Heart Housing Action Committee is hosting a meeting on Sept. 16 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Sacred Heart, 1381 S. First St., to kick off the campaign.
The average monthly rent in San Jose is now $2,128 a month, according to Real Facts. Often homeless working couples can not find an affordable place to rent and end up staying in motels or in their cars.
"The high cost of housing affects almost everyone in Silicon Valley," said Poncho Guevara, executive director of Sacred Heart.
"And while the crisis is worse for people with average and low incomes, we also have an opportunity right now to show we value working families and invest our resources into building more affordable housing."

Christchurch is a gordforsaken place reputed to be in New Zealand, reputedly named when the minister arriving there initially said "Oh Christ so this is the place, well I suppose I'd better look in at the church before I break out the whisky".
The city was once flat, but then a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit and now there are lots of nice little jagged hills everywhere. the city shows deep grey undertones wherever one looks (the inhabitants also try to mimic their surroundings by insisting to wear grey to the nth degree). The sweeping valleys, the Port Hills, the iceberg and earthquake prone Southern Alps are nothing to marvel at. Maybe only The Chalice in The Square - also grey. I wonder why it all happened.

Christchuch City Council Executive consists of 20 seats including 5 sheep, 5 cows, 9 humans under the influence and one TV or Radio Personality. The council meetings are described as being often like trying to herd cats. The main purpose of the council is to argue a lot until one council member finally claims the moral high ground. The sheep tend to vote specifically on the impact of any decision on the provision of grass. Otherwise they follow each other on every issue which makes it frustrating for the humans and the radio/tv personality. The TV personality doesn't care what happens so long as they look good doing it.
The council employees try to ignore these games much as possible and get on with doing the right thing. Unless a council member specifically asks them to do something else. At the end of every year, there is usually some money left over that needs to be spent quickly. The council usually spends this money on more road markings, signs and extra speed humps.
It has been speculated that if you were a developer ten years ago the best way to get your scheme approved by the council was to have a in-law elected by bank rolling their election campaign. Occasionally, when the local newspaper attempted to investigate in the past, councillors were known to suddenly disappear. Rumour had it that a mysterious triangle formed by the intersection of Cashel Street, Colombo Street and High Street hid an underground bunker where elected officials could hide in the event of disasters, civil unrest, boredom or adverse media interest.
This in-law theory is one attempt to explain the proliferation of massive suburban shopping malls around the city centre which has removed all the unnecessary socio-economic activity from central city. Over the long term, this has created a much less congested experience for overseas visitors and in the short term this has delivered some key benefits for tourism.
A chief attraction in Christchurch is that it is highly decorated with KU KLX KLAN members. Cantabrians are so proud of being the racist capital of New Zealand that they stand by it to only allow only 3 non pakeha players in their super 15 team. Probably the reason to why they suffered an earthquake recently.
The pride of Canterbury, the cathedral (similar to every other damn cathedral in the world except this one now has earthquake damage) is beloved by Canterbarbarians as it is all they have to make them unique (which they clearly aren't)
Mugging is one of Christchurch's key growth areas with visitors from around the world now experiencing the wide variety of high quality petty crime on offer. Attention to detail and anticipation are hall marks of what the local criminals have to offer. In fact, Christchurch is now world famous in NZ for setting new standards in the pursuit of the finest felony-based experience.
[Trev: try and stick a few more long words in here, doesn't matter what they mean but just to make it sound a bit flash for the punters eh? Bit like those travel vids your sister brought back from Oz. Onya.]
Then why not spend the evening perusing the high quality gift shops, jostling with coach loads of Japanese tourists for the popular paua shell set in resin kiwi shaped key rings and over priced packets of "kiwi poo" chocolate covered raisins. It really doesn't get any better than this!
Then why not visit any one of a number of bars and cafes and imagine you're somewhere in Europe. The wine is priced just within the reach of snobs, the local dishes are given reassuringly pretentious names and the disposal of any unwanted handbags by local junkies is but a mere courtesy gesture extended to all of the city's most valued visitors.
Then why not afterwards explore some of the historic alley ways and side streets. Yes, just like any historic European city, no expense is spared in creating the right ambiance of discarded syringes, litter and degraded surfacing. Often gangs of teenagers will assemble here, free of charge, to proffer insults, large quantities of carefully prepared, home made saliva and show great interest in items of clothing and valuables. Upon leaving, these teens are more than happy to escort you discretely, at a distance, to your next destination. This consideration is the hall mark of what sets Christchurch apart from other key tourist destinations.
[Trev: reckon you should stick the hilarious bit in here about the japanese cyclist, the tram tracks and that paua inlaid garden gnome that got nicked from Bruce's a while back which meant you had to go to A&E. Bloody pissed myself at that one mate.]
Then why not
The highlight for those tourists who would like the full package is a gentle trip floating unconscious down the Avon River, creating many new opportunities for the local wildlife to appreciate the view. The local police take a great interest in reports of petty crime, finding them hilarious. Particularly where incidents involve towel wielding German tourists who keep repeating that they don't understand what has happened, cyclists who get their wheels stuck in tram tracks, Asian Boy Racers who come off the road while power power sliding around the Summit Road and assault rifles.
Most of the history of Christchurch has been lost, because it was used in the production of sheep friendly condoms, but we have managed to piece together a few key events:
- 600 BC - Christchurch's first McDonalds established, initially in the middle of a flax swamp on what would then become Riccarton Road. History shows this to have been a far sighted move.
- 99 BC - McDonalds offered the first tangy Moa Burger, with a free coke and fries.
- 100 BC - First Chinese tourists visited and saw great business potential for takeaways. Set up first Chinese takeaway.
- 0 AD - Maori colonised the area and lodged a land claim against the local Chinese, because their takeaway had been set up without taking local indigenous people into consideration. A battle ensued during which all the Chinese were killed and, as worthy losers, they were finely diced with some bread crumbs, onion, glue, tabasco sauce and three hundred litres of tomato ketchup to take the nasty taste away.
- 1 AD - Maori settlers took over local Chinese takeaway and offered an alternative form of Chinese takeaway. Eventually ran out of Chinese ingredients and offered deep fried pies, pork, puha and "shitter fritters". Budget conscious kai made from leftovers for those blokes coming in for a feed after a night on the bevvies.
- 600 AD - First Dutch tourists visited and decided to stay. Dey were loikin eet ferrrrrrry much sho deshided to call the plaishe New Sheeland after a part of Dutchland called Old Sheeland. Because they were stoned most of the time they thought this was hilariously ironic. They also planted first marijuana crop which went down very well with the general population.
- 606 AD - Local maori lodged a land claim with the Dutch because their very successful marijuana plantations had been set up without giving due consideration to local indigenous people. The Dutch replied, saying
"Fuck yash, we goin' to grow thish shtuff anyway," and carried on harvesting their crops.
- 607 AD - Local maori were outraged and staged a land march protest. Dutch capitulated somewhat and offered the protesters cookies as gesture of goodwill at the negotiations but protestors refused on point of principal. The Dutch came back after deep frying the cookies in batter and the protestors jumped on the Dutch, scoffing the lot and licking the plates clean afterwards. The Dutch didn't mention the cookies eaten by the Maori had been spiked and very soon the local Maori were either staring into infinity, stoned out of their gourds, or sleeping soundly.
"Ha ha" shaid the Dutch, "we got ur ashes, tooooooooime to make shum naughty Dutch adult filmsh, yesh yesh..." and spent the rest of the day also stoned and giggling inanely at their own painful attempts to learn how to light farts.
- 608 AD Dutch got bored with making naughty Adult filmsh because Maori had a lot of "funny bones" but no naughty shensh of humour. They were also fed up with eating nothing but takeaways so, after the last harvesht of whacky baccy, they set sail and left the local Maori feeling shore in more waysh than one. Yesh yesh.
- 1337 AD - French Whalers arrived in Akaroa and set up a plastic cheese farm using plastic cows, to cater for the takeaway businesses.
- 1338 AD - McDonalds takeaway started offering plastic cheeseburgers.
- 1739 AD - Local Maori lodged a land claim with French cheese farm whalers saying that the whales had been taken on Maori land and were the property of the local indigenous people. The French settlers were indignant. The French women in particular were insulted at this outrage and threw hissy fits. They tossed their hair provocatively and pouted petulantly until their husbands reluctantly agreed that they should all move somewhere chic with more pavement cafes, bijou designer dog poo, patisseries and more strikes.
- 177-something AD - Christchurch was discovered by Captain Cook. The English felt that it was very important they'd discovered NZ and noted this in their history books so they could announce it to everyone in Europe. In the meantime, they decided to tidy the place up a bit with some nice oak trees, a few churches and a spot of whitewash, some rats, cats, pigs, goats, possums and influenza. They also carried on the proud but appalling tradition of mispronouncing foreign place names including "Christchurch" (Otutahi), "Mt Egmont" (Mt Taranaki) and "South Island" (Te Waka o Aoraki). Pretty soon, they believed they were back in the UK but with more sun, some "simply lovelydarling" local Maori restaurants and a bit more space, just like every other fucking English tourist.
- 1780 AD - Twenty million sheep colonised NZ, on a cheap 1 bob fare from Australia.
- 1781 AD - Sheep set up takeaways offering a wide variety of ethnic grass dishes including clover, rye, fescue, browntop and tussock.
- 1782 AD - Sheep expanded their highly successful takeway operation into new markets by offering deep fried option.
- 1783 AD - Local maori lodged land claim against the local sheep population for setting up their sheep-lifestyle orientated fast food empire without giving due consideration to local indigenous people. Sheep took the local Maori population to court and won, arguing that in fact local indigeous people HAD been taken into consideration through the offer of a deep fried option.
- 1784 AD - Local maori take their own maori-born and educated lawyer to court arguing that the 2% fee he charged for the successful outcome of cases was extortionate. The case remains open to date with both parties embroiled in an extremely bitter spat.
- 1959 AD - UK stopped buying sheep from NZ.
- 1967 AD - Due to lack of interest, the weather was cancelled
- 1977 AD - NZ stopped selling sheep to the UK
- 1988 AD - Great white flight to Brissie. Average intelligence of NZ and Australian populations increased dramatically. Apart from Twizel.
- 1989 AD - Someone in the Labour government realised that NZ actually had started to develop a culture of its own.
- 1991 AD - The sheep continue to expand their operation in an intimate partnership with local farmers, eventually developing a highly successful global conglomerate "Baager Me". Eventually the conglomerate negotiated a controlling stake in McDonalds through the backdoor.
- 1999 AD - Bizarre but bloody hilarious event involving my mate Bruce, his paua inlaid garden gnome, a japanese cyclist and some tram tracks.
- 1998 AD - Time started to run in reverse for a year
- 2005 AD - The Asian invasion peaked - influx of immigrants from South Korea to NZ resulted in the average intelligence of Korean and Avonhead populations rising dramatically.
- 2008 AD - Nothing happened. - Oh wait, Yea bus prices went up 20 cents... Yea thats all...
- 2009 AD - Amanda Pullan attempted to lose her virginity but was unsuccessful.
- 2009 x2 AD - Chris Grueber finally stopped fucking stalking me
- 2009 AD (3) - 3 stoners finaly realised that hanging around outside KFC and BK on colombo street only leads to getting arrested, shit tinnys, unwanted fat ugly chicks, herpes, depression, the desire to kill everyone within a 500 meter radius and steal all their money to buy decent weed from a dealer that isn't a 16 year old emo-kid from KFC. "Oh how easy it would be".
- 2009 AD (4) - D Lounge at the exchange was opened. Buzzy shit.
- 2010 AD - The Emperor of Christurch, Bob Hope, resolves to dismantle ecan, which is internet slang for "electronic can". This has propelled Christurch into the record books as the world's largest producer of Letters to the Editor written by monkeys.
- 2010 AD - A 7.1 earthquake hit destroying some buildings!
- 2011 AD - Earthquake hits again,
- 2012 AD - Earthquake hits yet again and everyone hits the bloody roof.
Sports and Past times[edit]
- Getting absolutely stoned in the Gardens, climbing trees then marrying them.haha
- Tipping loads of detergent into city fountains.
- Getting very drunk, jumping out suddenly at Japanese tourists and going "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!" or "BOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRIIIISS" before running off.
- Bitch-slapping German tourists, especially if they carry towels or are dressed like they're going to spend a day in the mountains.
- Romantic evenings in The Dunes at North New Brighton (also known as "The Bums" because its one of Christchurch's favourite but least spoken about places to have sex).
- Setting the doors of the BK toilets on Columbo St on fire with lighter fluid, hammering on the door hard and then running away.
- The kind of racism that begins with "I'm not a racist, but..."
- Finding any excuse to whine about the Poms winning the rugby or cricket on local radio. (Although this seems to have some what lessened in recent years)
- Finding any excuse to whine about the Aussies winning the rugby or cricket on local radio.
- Finding any excuse to whine about the loads of whiners on local radio.
- Smoking weed in the botanical gardens and trying to catch the ducks that asian tourists are photographing. Some inner-city potheads and stoners SOMETIMES gather the motivation to drag themselves to the port hills to smoke. Good old Cocayne Gardens and Hell's Gate.
- Winding Dave the security guard at the bus exchange up to see how far he will go before trespassing the whole lot of us.
- Radio Ron. the cherished wandering minstrel and official cultural ambassador of Christchurch.
- Seeing how long it takes for some degenerate to set your streets porta-shitter on fire.
The city has an extensive network of buses which only the poor, sick, disabled and banned drivers use. And then there are the mentally deranged ppl who always seem to be talking to you, but then you relise u dont actually exist
Everyone else drives everywhere, even down to the end of the drive to get the mail. Some Christchurch people are so used to driving that they have lost the power to walk completely, even driving into bed at nights and to the bathroom.
Local retailers in the city believe that car parking is the key to success. It was rumoured that Hallenstines clothing store in the City Mall once applied for a planning approval to develop a drive in option for their changing room areas. Fortunately the manager of the Hallenstines store did not, at the time, have an in-law elected to the council.
The police take an active interest in both spending public money effectively AND promoting driver safety. For example, it has been known for the most conscientious police officers to pull over and ticket drivers travelling below the legal open road speed limit of 10km/h, on the basis of recycled speed camera readings.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia teenager shot a 13-month-old baby in the face while trying to rob the child's mother, according to an indictment returned Wednesday that also charged the suspect with shooting another person in an unrelated robbery attempt earlier this month.
The indictment by a Glynn County grand jury charges 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins on nine counts, including malice murder, in the slaying last Thursday of young Antonio Santiago a few blocks from his home in coastal Brunswick.
Another suspect, 15-year-old Dominique Lang, was indicted on seven counts including felony murder. But the indictment specifies that authorities believe it was Elkins who shot the child and wounded his mother with a .22-caliber revolver as the boys tried to steal money from her.
District Attorney Jackie Johnson of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit said in a statement Thursday she would not seek the death penalty against either suspect because Georgia law doesn't allow capital punishment for defendants charged with crimes committed before they were 18. Both teens are charged as adults.
Elkins was also indicted on two counts in a second attempted robbery and shooting that happened 10 days before the baby was slain. On March 11, according to the indictment, Elkins tried to rob a person identified as Wilfredo Calix-Flores, pointing a gun at him while demanding his cellphone and wallet. Elkins shot Calix-Flores in the arm with the same caliber revolver used to kill the baby 10 days later, the indictment says. He is charged with attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Kevin Gough, a public defender representing Elkins, said he felt prosecutors rushed to indict his client before collecting all available evidence. Gough had asked a judge for a preliminary hearing next week to determine if prosecutors had sufficient evidence to charge Elkins. The indictmentmeans a grand jury has already made that determination and Elkins' attorneys won't get an early look at the evidence against him.
"It's a major setback in the sense we would like to have an opportunity to test the strength of the evidence against our client," Gough said.
Lang's attorney, Kimberly L. Copeland, said she planned a vigorous defense but had no further comment.
"I believe in the innocence of my client," Copeland said.
The few details contained in the indictment seem to back up the story the slain baby's mother, Sherry West, has repeated to numerous reporters: She was pushing her baby in a stroller as she walked home from the post office when two youths approached asking for money. West says when she refused, the older teen drew a gun and shot her in the leg before shooting her son in the head.
Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering told reporters Wednesday before the indictment was returned that investigators believe the crime was random — something police hadn't said previously.
"We're comfortable now, six days into it, to say the location of the incident and the victim were random," Doering said. "I don't have any information that shows otherwise."
The grand jury also indicted three of Elkins' relatives on charges that they tried to help him after theshootings.
The suspect's mother, Karimah Elkins, and older sister, Sabrina Elkins, were charged with evidence tampering. The indictment says they threw the revolver that police suspect was used in theshooting into a saltwater pond where investigators recovered it Tuesday. Doering said the gun is being tested to see if it can be linked to the child's slaying.
Karimah Elkins and the suspect's aunt, Katrina Elkins, were also charged with making false statements to police. The indictment says the aunt told investigators her nephew was at her house when the slaying occurred — which she also told The Associated Press and other news outlets. It says the suspect's mother told police that her son was with her when the baby was shot.
Elkins' public defender has said he strongly believes his client is innocent. Gough has filed a court motion asking a judge to grant him access to mental health records of the slain boy's mother, saying they could be important to determining whether she's a credible witness.
"Obviously we're concerned about her credibility her ability to accurately recall events and identify anybody," Gough said. "If she suffers from any conditions that would do that, it would certainly be relevant to the case."

Pesticide Causes Largest Mass Bumble Bee Death on Record
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 21, 2013
Scott Hoffman Black, Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, 503-449-3792, [email protected]
Mace Vaughan, Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, 503-753-6000, [email protected]
Pesticide Causes Largest Mass Bumble Bee Death on Record
Oregon Department of Agriculture confirms deaths due to application of insecticide known as Safari
Wilsonville OR. — Scientists investigating the mass death of bumble bees in Wilsonville, Oregon say that pesticides are the most likely cause. The incident first came to light on Saturday when shoppers at a Target store reported finding tens of thousands of dead bees in the store's parking lot. News quickly spread to the Portland-based Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a group known for their international bee conservation work, who launched an investigation.
"We immediately contacted the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and asked them to test the bees for pesticide poisoning," said Mace Vaughan, the Xerces Society's Pollinator Conservation Director. "To our knowledge, this incident is the largest mass poisoning of bumble bees ever documented, and thankfully ODA is taking the issue very seriously."
Large-scale deaths of domestic honey bees have been reported in recent years, but among wild pollinators, documented poisoning incidents of this scale are largely unprecedented, according to experts. "Wild bees are killed all the time in agricultural fields where nobody sees it happen," said Vaughan. "The fact that this happened in an urban area is probably the only reason it came to our attention."
After interviewing the landscaping company that maintains dozens of ornamental trees around the Target parking lot, ODA investigators learned that the pesticide Dinotefuran had recently been applied. Investigators confirmed that Dinotefuran, sold under the trade name 'Safari,' belongs to a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids that have been linked to bee deaths in recent years.
Rich Hatfield, a biologist with the Xerces Society, estimates that over 50,000 bumble bees were killed, likely representing more than 300 wild colonies. "Each of those colonies could have produced multiple new queens that would have gone on to establish new colonies next year. This makes the event particularly catastrophic."
ODA has confirmed that the bee deaths are directly related to a pesticide application on the linden trees conducted last Saturday, June 15 to control aphids. The pesticide product Safari was used in that application. Safari, with its active ingredient dinotefuran, is part of a group of insecticides known as neonicotinoids. According to investigators, the insecticide was originally applied to control aphids, which secrete a sticky residue while feeding, and can be a nuisance to parked cars. Dinotefuran and other neonicotinoids are a relatively new group of insecticides that are long-lasting in plant tissues. Because of this, the scientists are now concerned about whether the trees will still be toxic next year when they flower again. Emergency measures to prevent further bee deaths were taken today by staff from the ODA, Xerces, and the City of Wilsonville. By the end of the day all of the trees will be covered with large nets to prevent bumble bees and other pollinators from reaching the flowers.
Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society, noted that the pesticide was applied to the tree while it was flowering, an action that violates the product's instructions. "Beyond the fact that a pesticide was applied to plants while they were attracting large numbers of bees, in this case the pesticide was applied for purely cosmetic reasons. There was no threat to human health or the protection of farm crops that even factored into this decision."
Investigators learned of the poisoning—the largest of its kind ever recorded—on the first day of National Pollinator Week, an annual symbolic event that is intended to raise awareness about the plight of bees, and their role in the environment.
About The Xerces Society:

PRINCETON, N.J. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) today announced that the first patient has been enrolled into a Phase IV clinical trial called EMANATE (Eliquis evaluated in acute cardioversion coMpared to usuAl treatmeNts for AnTicoagulation in subjEcts with NVAF) assessing the effectiveness and safety of Eliquis in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) undergoing cardioversion. Eliquis is currently approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with NVAF. Cardioversion (administered through electric shock to the chest or with medication) is a commonly used, effective method of converting atrial fibrillation to a normal rhythm, allowing the heart to pump more effectively. Traditionally, anticoagulation is administered for a minimum of three weeks prior to cardioversion and for four weeks afterward. In some patients, early cardioversion can be performed on the same day or within days of new-onset NVAF, usually after imaging, to confirm the absence of a pre-existing thrombus in the heart, which could be dislodged during the cardioversion procedure and cause a stroke.
EMANATE, a randomized, open-label clinical trial, will assess the effectiveness and safety of Eliquis compared with usual care (parenteral heparin and/or oral anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist) initiated in patients with NVAF expected to undergo cardioversion after short-term anticoagulation, in a clinical practice setting. In NVAF patients presenting at least 48 hours after the onset of NVAF, early cardioversion will be performed after excluding a thrombus by imaging, on the same day or within a few days. In NVAF patients presenting within 48 hours of the onset of NVAF, cardioversion will be performed promptly without prior imaging. In all patients, Eliquis or usual care will be initiated prior to cardioversion and continued for up to 30 days post-cardioversion.
The EMANATE trial is anticipated to enroll 1,500 eligible patients from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to Eliquis or usual care, to be administered for up to 30 days following early cardioversion or 90 days post randomization if cardioversion is not performed within this timeframe. The primary efficacy endpoints are the occurrence of acute stroke, systemic embolism and all-cause death. Primary safety endpoints are major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding.
"We are pleased to enroll our first patient in the Phase IV EMANATE study," said Jack Lawrence, MD, vice president, Cardiovascular Global Clinical Research and development lead, Eliquis, Bristol-Myers Squibb. "This Phase IV trial will provide important data that will inform the use of Eliquis in patients with NVAF undergoing cardioversion."
"Eliquis is approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with NVAF in a number of countries around the world, including in the U.S., European Union and Japan," said Steve Romano, senior vice president, head of Medicines Development Group for Global Innovative Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Inc. "The initiation of the Phase IV EMANATE study reinforces the long-term commitment of Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer to understanding and improving health in patients with NVAF."
ELIQUIS is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
ELIQUIS is indicated for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery.
(A) Discontinuing ELIQUIS places patients at an increased risk of thrombotic events. An increased rate of stroke was observed following discontinuation of ELIQUIS in clinical trials in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. If anticoagulation with ELIQUIS must be discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding, coverage with another anticoagulant should be strongly considered.
(B) When neuraxial anesthesia (epidural/spinal anesthesia) or spinal puncture is employed, patients anticoagulated or scheduled to be anticoagulated with low molecular weight heparins, heparinoids, or Factor Xa inhibitors for prevention of thromboembolic complications are at risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis.
The risk of these events may be increased by the use of indwelling epidural catheters for administration of analgesia or by the concomitant use of drugs affecting hemostasis such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet aggregation inhibitors, or other anticoagulants. The risk also appears to be increased by traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal puncture.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic impairment. If neurologic compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary. Consider the potential benefit versus risk before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated for thromboprophylaxis
The most common and most serious adverse reactions reported with ELIQUIS (apixaban) were related to bleeding.
ELIQUIS should be discontinued at least 48 hours prior to elective surgery or invasive procedures with a moderate or high risk of unacceptable or clinically significant bleeding. ELIQUIS should be discontinued at least 24 hours prior to elective surgery or invasive procedures with a low risk of bleeding or where the bleeding would be noncritical in location and easily controlled. Bridging anticoagulation during the 24 to 48 hours after stopping ELIQUIS and prior to the intervention is not generally required. ELIQUIS should be restarted after the surgical or other procedures as soon as adequate hemostasis has been established.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of ELIQUIS in pregnant women. Treatment is likely to increase the risk of hemorrhage during pregnancy and delivery. ELIQUIS should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the mother and fetus.

About Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF)
Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of irregular heartbeat. It is estimated that more than 5.8 million Americans and six million individuals in Europe have atrial fibrillation. One of the most serious medical concerns for individuals with atrial fibrillation is the increased risk of stroke, which is five times higher in people with atrial fibrillation than in people without atrial fibrillation. In North America and Europe, it is estimated that 98 percent of patients with atrial fibrillation have NVAF. NVAF is a type of atrial fibrillation that is not due to rheumatic mitral heart valve disease, a prosthetic heart valve, or a repairing of the heart's mitral valve.
About Eliquis®
Eliquis (apixaban) is an oral selective Factor Xa inhibitor. By inhibiting Factor Xa, a key blood clotting protein, Eliquis decreases thrombin generation and blood clot formation. Eliquis is approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the United States, European Union, Japan and a number of other countries around the world. Eliquis is approved for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which can lead to pulmonary embolism (PE) in adult patients who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery in the United States, European Union and a number of other countries around the world. Eliquis is not approved for this indication in Japan.

Field is currently limited to a maximum of 100 racers because of permit limitations. We will upgrade the permit if the original 100 sells out early enough to justify the additional expense of a higher level permit with the City.
This is a distance race with a timed cutoff(s) not a timed endurance race. Your finish will be a DNF unless all laps are completed within the allotted time.
Solo (Elite) Century of 6 laps but with a cutoff based on 90 minute laps. I completed a lap today in 1:25 poking along since I hadn't ridden Sansom in a while. The lap GPS'd at 10 miles but GPS always loses at least 10% so I'm confident that 6 laps will get our metric century. 6 laps is going to be very tough to complete. I don't expect many solo finishers at all. You don't have to be Pro or Cat 1 to compete but we may limit this field to experienced single track endurance racers based on the technical difficulty of the course.
Solo (Sport) Half Century of 3 laps with no cutoff time. 3 laps in a day will be plenty tough for most of us mortals. This should be an extremely competitive field
2 Person Relay (Men, Women, Co-ed) 6 laps with a cutoff based on 90 minute laps. Relayers must alternate laps so each rider must ride 3 laps for the team to complete the course. No individual rider will be allowed to ride consecutive laps. The relay teams were extremely fun when we did Hell on Wheels at Northshore. I'm really look forward to doing another event with the relays.
Again, this is the rough draft at the moment and details are subject to change. We will offer an early bird registration discount of some sort and I think we will only have online registration. We may limit the field to 100 racers total based on our permit with the City. We will also have some alternate day in case of weather but I'm waiting for the dorba schedule to see what dates may work for that if needed.

Comet Swift–Tuttle (formally designated 109P/Swift–Tuttle) is a periodic comet with an orbital period of 133 years. It fits the classical definition of a Halley-type comet with a period between 20 and 200 years.[1] It was independently discovered by Lewis Swift on July 16, 1862 and by Horace Parnell Tuttle on July 19, 1862. It has a well determined orbit and has a comet nucleus 26 km in diameter.[1]
Chinese records indicate that in 188 the comet reached apparent magnitude 0.1.[4] In the discovery year of 1862, the comet was as bright as Polaris.[5] The comet made a return appearance in 1992, when it was rediscovered by Japanese astronomer Tsuruhiko Kiuchi and became visible with binoculars.[6] In 2126 it will be a bright naked-eye comet reaching about apparent magnitude 0.7.[4]
It is the parent body of the Perseid meteor shower, perhaps the best known shower and among the most reliable in performance.[7]
An unusual aspect of its orbit is that it is captured into a 1:11 orbital resonance with Jupiter; it completes one orbit for every 11 of Jupiter.[8]
Potential threat to Earth
The comet is on an orbit that makes repeated close approaches to the Earth-Moon system.[8] Upon its 1992 rediscovery, the comet's date of perihelion passage was off from the then-current prediction by 17 days. It was then noticed that, if its next perihelion passage (July 11, 2126) was also off by another 15 days (occurred on July 26), the comet would pass perilously close to Earth or the Moon on August 14, 2126 (IAUC 5636: 1992t). Given the size of the nucleus of Swift–Tuttle, this was of some concern. This prompted amateur astronomer and writer Gary W. Kronk to search for previous apparitions of this comet. He found the comet was most likely observed by the Chinese in 69 BC and AD 188, which was quickly confirmed by Brian G. Marsden.[9] This information and subsequent observations have led to recalculation of its orbit, which indicates the comet's orbit is very stable, and that there is absolutely no threat over the next two thousand years.[10] It is now known that the comet will pass Script error: No such module "convert". from Earth on August 5, 2126.[1]
A close encounter with Earth is predicted for the comet's return to the inner Solar System in the year 4479, around Sept. 15; the closest approach is estimated to be 0.03–0.05 AU, with a probability of impact of 1×10−6, or 0.0001%.[8] Subsequent to 4479, the orbital evolution of the comet is more difficult to predict; the probability of Earth impact per orbit is estimated as 2×10−8 (0.000002%).[8] It is the largest Solar System object that makes repeated close approaches to Earth with a relative velocity of 60 km/s.[11][12] An Earth impact would have an estimated energy of ≈27 times that of the Cretaceous–Paleogene impactor.[13] Comet Swift–Tuttle has been described as "the single most dangerous object known to humanity".[12]

- ^ This calculation can be carried out in the manner given by Weissman for Comet Hale–Bopp, as follows: A radius of 13.5 km and an estimated density of 0.6 g/cm3 gives a cometary mass of 6.2×1018 g. An encounter velocity of 60 km/s yields an impact velocity of 61 km/s, giving an impact energy of 1.15×1032 ergs, or 2.75×109 megatons, about 27.5 times the estimated energy of the K–T impact event.
