Rocketfish Mobile - Earbud Headphones - Black

The Gibbs Farm
Had a stunning day on Friday at the Gibbs Farm by Kaipara Harbour.
It was organised by the Wellington Sculpture Trust, and around 120 – 150 people flew up from Wellington for it. I doubt anyone regretted it. The farm is outstanding in three ways.
- The views
- The animals
- The sculptures
Together they create an experience that people literally travel to New Zealand to see. The Farm has an open day once a month. I highly recommend you try and attend at some stage. Allow a good three hours to get around everything.
This stag had a cry like a foghorn. You could hear him on the other side of the farm.
There is a statue of a giraffe but also three actual giraffes on the farm. I prefers giraffes not to be in captivity but they have such a large space to roam around in they seemed pretty happy.
This is a close up of A Fold in the Field with a mower making its way up over one of the folds.
This is called 88.50 ARCx8. The yaks at the bottom give you an idea of how large it is.
The Green and White Fence runs for 3.2 kms.
This is me inside the iconic Dismemberment, Site 1.
And Jordan W sliding out the far end.
The end is 25 metres tall.
Red Cloud confrontation in Landscape
Another view of Dismemberment. The people by it give you some idea of its size. It is 85 metres long.
The central lake and fountain.
The Mermaid. Just next to it is a water polo lake
As we were driving out, we encountered this ostrich happily sitting down on the road blocking it. He wouldn't move even with the bus in front of him. Someone had to get out and lead him away.
The animals are all very tame, and basically treat the farm as belonging to them, and are very nonplussed by the visitors.
Again a great day. Big thanks to Alan Gibbs for his generosity in making it available to the public, and for his talk to us. Also to the Wellington Sculpture Trust for organizing the day.

I was just curious about Superman and Lex Luthor's history in the DC comics. Did they have any prior history? And what became of Superman when he died? He did die right? How/by who? And how did the Superman story keep going? Any help would be cool, but please try to refrain from the Smallville spoilers, as I'm only about half way through the first season. Thanks!

Family: Cupressaceae, Cypress view all from this family
Description Native bushy evergreen. Crown conic, sometimes sparse. Bark brown, smooth fibrous, rougher with age. Foliage in dense sprays, dark to yellow-green. Leaves scale-like, 2-5 mm. long, rounded shoots. Cones globose to oblong, 12-22 mm. long, with 6 to 10 scales, green, maturing brown to gray-brown. Male cones 3-5 mm. long, and release pollen in February/March. Cones closed for many years, opening after the parent tree is killed in a wildfire, allowing the seeds to colonize bare ground exposed by the fire.
Dimensions Height: 4.6-9 m. (15-30 ft.)
Diameter: 0.15-0.5 m. (1/2-1 1/2 ft.).
Endangered Status A subspecies of the Gowen Cypress, Cupressus goveniana ssp. goveniana, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in California. This tree lives in just two groves in Monterey County. It grows in coastal forests composed mainly of closed-cone pines, which are also called fire pines, as their cones stay on the tree for years until fire melts the resinous coating that cements them closed, allowing the seeds to be released. Its threatened status can be attributed to fire supression practices and degradation of habitat due to a number of modifying factors, such as development of the land for industrial, residential, or recreational projects, including golf courses.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Mountains.
Range California.
Discussion Named for James Robert Gowen, a 19th century British horticulturist.
Species occurs in only two areas of Monterey County, California:
Huckleberry Hill, and between San Jose Creek and Gibson Creek.
Mendocino cypress occurs in a narrow, discontinuous strip along the
Mendocino County coast known as the "Mendocino White Plains" or "pine
barrens". A grove occurs in Sonoma County.

PC out of control!
Of course someone would find a way to connect the word "redneck" with racism.
It seems, from the article, that the event was to satirize rednecks, not black people. If there were some students at the school from southern states that are stereotyped as rednecks, they might have well have found the event offensive as well.
Teenagers tend to be thoughtless and have some dumb ideas sometimes, even if they don't mean anything serious about spoofing some stereotypes and/or traditions. A very good reason not to lower the voting age (as has been proposed occasionally). With rare exceptions, most teenagers are still "kids" who act spontaneously and fail to see the consequences of their actions.
Redneck is a culture, a community, not defined by race or origin, more of a culture you have adopted. There are plenty of Rednecks who aren't white, so saying that Redneck segregates members of the black community or any other is a lie. Rednecks aren't offended about being "a redneck". This is a case of everyone is so easily offended about everything that takes place on a daily basis, this practice is sickening. I think the "Reverend" would be better served dealing with the issues of the nations moral decay rather than telling us about his teenage grandson crying like a girl.
And the flag in question represents the southern states, not slavery, not racism, not segregation, but the southern states.
now if they would have held "clan day", wore white sheets and instead of prom queen and king, elected prom "grand wizardess and wizard" from the student body......different matter entirely and something for a good minister to spend time crying about!
when one of my daughters was in high school during homecoming week they had "hip hop wednesday". this was six or seven years ago. when she came down for breakfast she had a clock the size of a dinner plate on a chain around her neck, a "viking hat" with tin foil horns and saggy pants on. she told me she was "flava-flave" or some such nonsense as that. she explained that he was formerly with "public enemy"(or something similar) and had a reality show. i said, "honey, are most of these rappers not womanizers, mysoginists, drug users and lawless thugs?" she said, "no dad, they are musicians!" so i told her not to get overly into charachter and to have a good day at school. i will post the picture of her if i can find it, very funny i thought. i didn't know i was missing an opportunity to spend a day crying and writing an article for usa today.;-)
I remember a song "A Few More Rednecks" by the great Charlie Daniels. I don't remember the lyrics mentioning anything about race. It sums up my thoughts on being a redneck pretty well. Hell, growing up I didn't know anybody that wasn't a redneck!
The funniest question was the one where the Civil War was described in detail without actually saying Civil War and asking me what we called it in the South. My response was always that "we called it the war of oppression". That got laughs. I encountered those who actually thought I got my first pair of shoes when I came north. Again, funny, I thought. My roommate was Catholic child of Polish immigrants, still a good friend. He was in my wedding and I in his. I always kidded him that he could not find his way out of a wet paper bag if there was no subway sign to tell him how. He lived in NJ within sight of the Manhattan skyline.
But seriously, I really never took any offense at the things I was asked nor the preconceptions of my heritage. It just made me realize how ignorant of the different cultures from different parts of the country that we are. Actually for the most part, I found the people of NY to be no different than those around whom I was raised. All of us wanted a good place to live and raise our kids. All of were ignorant to some extent in our different cultures. One thing most common was the tolerance of each other and each one's culture once we met and got to know each other. My time in NY was a happy and educational experience which brings fond memories.

Gilbert to speak on decision-making, Sept. 20
Posted September 13, 2007; 05:43 p.m.
Harvard University psychologist Daniel Gilbert, author of the bestseller "Stumbling on Happiness," will deliver a lecture titled "How To Do Precisely the Right Thing at All Possible Times" at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, in McCosh 50.
Gilbert, who received his Ph.D. in psychology in 1985 from Princeton, won the 2007 Royal Society General Book Prize for "Stumbling on Happiness." The book is a scholarly and witty account of Gilbert's research on "affective forecasting," or how human beings calculate what they need to do in order to achieve happiness. Gilbert writes about the biases and other cognitive mistakes that prevent people from knowing what will make them happy. He will discuss current research in psychology and behavioral economics that explains the foibles that affect human decision-making.
Gilbert is the co-author of several textbooks, including "The Handbook of Social Psychology."
The talk is designated as the Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture and is sponsored by the University Public Lectures series.

INPhO, the Information Network on Post-harvest Operations, was originally designed by FAO with the support and collaboration of GIZ and CIRAD in 1996. The site is currently undergoing a review and reformat to enhance the presentation and accessibility of the information available. This information resource is managed by the FAO Nutrition and Food Systems Division.
The principal objectives of INPhO are to promote good practice in post-harvest activities for agricultural products and to assist in the expansion of agribusiness by providing easy access to technical data and information.
Crop Compendium
Millet is a collective term referring to a number of small-seeded annual grasses that are cultivated as grain crops, primarily on marginal lands in dry areas of temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions. It is regarded as a subsistence grain grown for food and animal fodder. The largest production is in India and Nigeria. Total world production in 2007 was 31 million tonnes (FAOSTAT).
Latest Publication
This section provides access to Cookbook, Videos and Food Processing Toolkit covering relevant issues on agro-processing and post-harvest activities related to fruits and vegetables, grains and cereals, roots and tubers, livestock products among others.
The information provided in this section is intended to be used as an efficient tool to assist in skill enhancement and development in post-harvest activities and small agro-industries development.
The provision of effective training is a key aspect in promoting best practice in post-harvest operations to minimise losses and reduce waste in the development of agroindustries and/or agro-businesses.

Alternate name: Woollypod Locoweed, Pursh's Milk-vetch
Family: Fabaceae, Pea view all from this family
Description Habit: native perennial herb, finely silver-hairy.
Height: 3-6 in (7.5-15 cm)
Leaf: alternate, odd-pinnate, to 5 in (12.5 cm) long; 3-17 leaflets, oval to narrowly lanceolate, tips notched or rounded, to 0.6 in (15 mm) long.

Warning All plants in the genus Astragalus are potentially toxic to humans and animals if ingested, causing a disorder called locoism. The milk from an animal that has ingested Astragalus plants may also be toxic. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Flower March to April.
Habitat Disturbed rocky soils; dry plains, slopes, juniper or sagebrush communities, shrub-steppes; also cultivated as an ornamental.
Range Native to northwestern North America, from British Columbia south to California, east to Coloroado, north to Wyoming, the Dakotas, and Saskatchewan.
Discussion Also called Pursh's milkvetch. Eight varieties are proposed. The Thompson Indians of British Columbia poured a tea made from woollypod milkvetch onto hunting equipment which had lost its luck.

What attorneys need to know about immigration reform services and Assembly Bill 1159
Lawyers and immigration consultants offering services related to proposed federal immigration reform need to be aware of the new law now in effect. AB1159, authored by Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, provides immediate consumer protection for the state's undocumented immigrants. AB1159 prohibits demanding or accepting any money to assist undocumented immigrants to apply for lawful status in the promise of a "pathway to citizenship" under federal immigration reform, such as the pending S. 744, until Congress has actually passed a law.
The California Legislature passed AB1159 as "urgency" legislation, and it became effective immediately upon enactment with the governor's signing on Oct. 5, 2013. In addition to the ban on demanding or accepting advance payment of any money before federal immigration reform is enacted, other major changes and new requirements affecting both attorneys and immigration consultants include:

Watching runners cross the finish line in the Catch the Leprechaun 5K, one couldn't help wondering how difficult is must be to run a race in an orange wig, giant bow tie, or tutu.
The colorfully-clad crowd gathered at the Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park for the evening race benefiting Pattison's Academy, forming a sea of green. The buzzer sounded and they were off on a 5K loop.
Friends, family, and canine companions waited at the finish line, and soon the first leprechaun-inspired outfit came pounding toward the finish line. Whether decked in traditional running gear, shamrock tights, "Luck of the Irish" boxers, or an entire velour leprechaun suit, the eclectically dressed runners came in one by one, each one with a smile. Brian Freeman crossed made his finish-line dash a la Braveheart, proudly sporting a kilt while brandishing a plastic sword. "I only held it aloft for the last quarter," he confessed.
Those who competed made their way under the bridge for an after party featuring food, beer, and live music.
The Catch the Leprechaun 5K benefits Pattison's Academy. Pattison's Academy strives to improve the quality of life for children with multiple disabilities by providing comprehensive education and rehabilitation programs. At the summer camp as well as the PACE Charter School, the children receive much-needed physical, speech, and occupational therapy as well as specialized educational instruction and support.

With Sunday's Week 14 games just hours away, our fantasy expert James Morris updates you on the latest injury news for players around the league.
Week 14 Fantasy Sunday Injury Update by James Morris
This week most leagues start the first round of their playoffs, so keeping up with the news and information on injuries from around the league is a must if you want a shot at the league title. As always, make sure you check back right before kick-off as I do update in the comment section with any last minute news.
On a side note, I noticed while doing some stats research that NFL.com has Detroit Lions WR Ryan Broyels projected for 10.00 fantasy points this week. Why is that making headlines you ask? Well, Broyels is on the I.R.! The moral of this story is to never filter your FA or start/sit decisions based on your leagues projected stats.
Ben Roethlisberger is finally ready to take the field for the Steelers, which means any offensive player gets a boost in fantasy terms. I still don't trust him as the Chargers defense is in the middle of the pack (16th) when it comes to fantasy points allowed to QBs (19.7 PPG). At best I think Mike Wallace can be slotted as a WR3 until Big Ben proves he is good to go. Heath Miller on the other hand should be a good check-down option this weekend and I would start him as a low-end TE1 this week.
Jordy Nelson is officially out this week with a hamstring injury, which means Greg Jennings will be back in the starting spot for the Packers. Jennings will see a full workload this week and makes for a fine start with the league's best QB throwing to him. Randall Cobb isn't going away, so start him just as you always have to finish the season out.
Hakeem Nicks is still battling knee issues and word has been going around that he will miss this week's game. The truth is he did get in a light practice on Friday and stayed after for some post-practice work with Eli Manning, which is a good sign for him to play. Giants beat writers expect him to play though, and I trust them more than any of the big-box websites since they are plugged in to the team. Because of the knee problems, I am bumping him down to a WR2 this week, but make sure you check back right before kick-off to see if he is in or out. You could handcuff Nicks with Rueben Randle, but only in deeper leagues where depth is an issue.
Percy Harvin landed on the I.R. this week, yet 88.4 percent of people still own him in NFL.com fantasy leagues. It just goes to show that people stop paying attention when they realize they are officially out of the playoff race. Make sure you cut him loose in your league and grab someone like Chris Givens for some sneaky points.
For anyone wondering, Rob Gronkowski hasn't even resumed practicing yet for the Patriots, which means he isn't even close to returning. The problem with the Patriots is that they list everyone on their team as Questionable every single week, and websites trying to push the story of Gronk coming back as early as week 14 were just looking to make headlines. A week 16 return is a best-case scenario with the team looking at the playoffs now, not the regular season.
Michael Turner (elbow) is expected to play for the Falcons today, but I am hearing that the injury could be used as an excuse for the team to reduce his workload even further in favor of Jacquizz Rodgers. Turner has seen more than 15 touches in a game since week 9, and has only topped 20 touches twice this season. He is a sketchy fantasy option this week (at best) and would be best left on the bench if at all possible.
The Jaguars team just got messier as Cecil Shorts (concussion), Rashad Jennings (concussion) and Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) are all out. Special Teams fullback Montell Owens will be the feature back, while undrafted rookie Kevin Elliot will start out wide and Jordan Shipley will man the slot. Did you know 89.9 percent of NFL.com fantasy owners still hold MJD on their rosters? Why? With nothing left to play for, and MJD wanting out of Jacksonville, the chances of us seeing him on the field this season are slim-to-none, with none winning the race. Just cut him loose! I wouldn't start a single Jaguars player this week as the deck is looking like it is stacked against them this year.
Brandon LaFell is not expected to play for the Panthers, which means David Gettis draws the start opposite Steve Smith. LaFell was as inconsistent as they come for production, and won't be missed by teams trying to figure out if this week would be the good week or not. Gettis isn't a good option due to Cam Newton's 57.5 percent completion mark this season, which currently ranks him 28th in the NFL among all qualified QBs.
Danny Amendola of the Rams is headed for a true game-time decision. But, even if he does suit up his snaps are likely to be limited to the point where his production is anyone's guess. I personally wouldn't take the risk in the fantasy playoffs with him, and would play Givens if you are desperate at WR.
Dustin Keller is out this week for the Jets. Given the multitude of problems the Jets have at the QB position, Keller is little more than TE depth these days. The 46.3 percent of people that own him in NFL.com leagues are barking up the wrong tree when looking at fantasy TEs. There are better options on the waiver wire right now.
The Arizona Cardinals are back to playing John Skelton at QB, which doesn't really change the fantasy value of Larry Fitzgerald to finish the season out. It's hard to sit Fitzgerald because he has the skills to produce no matter who is under center, but he hasn't scored in the last 4 games, and only topped 100 yards (114) once this season back in week 3. Against the Seahawks hard-hitting defense, I wouldn't put a single Cardinals offensive player in my line-up this week.
Mike Thomas draws the start for the Detroit Lions with Titus Young and Broyles on the I.R. If Thomas is a realistic option in your league, you are in one of the deepest leagues I have ever seen and I need to get in on that action next year!
Kansas City Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers is a game-time decision with a hamstring injury. While it doesn't make the Chiefs defense any sexier of a fantasy option, it is something to keep an eye on if you own Josh Gordon from the Cleveland Browns. If Flowers is out, you will want to put Gordon in your flex spot for some sleeper points.

Hey, you lefty's have some interesting bedfellows!!!!You must be very proud!!!!
Chavez, Castro, Putin: Four more years!
by: Ilana Freedman
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
The latest [dictator] to publicly announce his support for the commander-in-chiefs reelection bid was Venezuelas Hugo Chavez, who this week assured hed vote for Obama if he were from the United States. The America-bashing strongman made the announcement on state-owned television, saying Obama is a good guy and that if Obama was from Caracas, hed surely return the favor by voting for Chavez.
Earlier in the year the government-official daughter of Cuban military dictator Raul Castro proclaimed her countrys support for Obama during a visit to the U.S. I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart, Mariela Castro said during a cable news interview. ...
That brings us to Russias Vladimir Putin, who has eliminated most elections in his country, monopolized all major media and destroyed the political party system. ... In a letter to a major newspaper, the president of a group dedicated to expanding freedom around the world points out that under Putin there has been an across-the-board crackdown on civil society. The piece goes on to ask: Will Obama stand up against Putins abuses? Unlikely, now that the Russian dictator has extended his endorsement.

How can you make sure your dependencies are safe ?
When writing Node.js applications, ending up with hundreds or even thousands of dependencies can easily happen. For example, if you depend on Express, you depend on 27 other modules directly, and of course on those dependencies' as well, so manually checking all of them is not an option!
The only option is to automate the update / security audit of your dependencies. For that there are free and paid options:
1. npm outdated2. Trace by RisingStack3. NSP4. GreenKeeper5. Snyk
View answer
Report Error
What is the difference between ViewState and SessionState?
'ViewState' is specific to a page in a session.'SessionState' is specific to user specific data that can be accessed across all pages in the web application.
How can you avoid callback hells ?
There are lots of ways to solve the issue of callback hells:
1. Modularization: break callbacks into independent functions2. Use a control flow library, like async3. Use generators with Promises4. Use async/await (note that it is only available in the latest v7 release and not in the LTS version)
What is an error-first callback ?
Error-first callbacks are used to pass errors and data as well. You have to pass the error as the first parameter, and it has to be checked to see if something went wrong. Additional arguments are used to pass data.
fs.readFile(filePath, function(err, data) { if (err) { // handle the error, the return is important here // so execution stops here return console.log(err) } // use the data object console.log(data)})
What are Spring beans ?
The Spring Beans are Java Objects that form the backbone of a Spring application. They are instantiated, assembled, and managed by the Spring IoC container. These beans are created with the configuration metadata that is supplied to the container.Beans defined in spring framework are singleton beans. There is an attribute in bean tag named "singleton" if specified true then bean becomes singleton and if set to false then the bean becomes a prototype bean. By default it is set to true. So, all the beans in spring framework are by default singleton beans.
