The Basketball New Zealand Bartercard National Basketball League Board has today confirmed the nine teams which will compete the 2012 season.
Waikato Pistons, NBL Champions in 2008 and 2009, will not compete in the 2012 season after the Waikato Basketball Council Board decided take a break from the competition in order to refocus.
Christchurch Cougars have made the hard decision to take a further year off after their team, venue and sponsors were badly affected by the February earthquakes.
The Harbour Heat registered their interest to re-enter the Bartercard NBL earlier in the year, with their application being accepted for the 2012 season.
The confirmed teams for the 2012 season are therefore Harbour Heat, Auckland Pirates, Taranaki MountainAirs, HSB Bank Hawks, Manawatu Jets, Wellington Saints, Fico Finance Nelson Giants, OceanaGold Nuggets (Otago), and Zero Fees Southland Sharks.
Sam Rossiter-Stead, Chairman of the Bartercard NBL, said: "We are pleased to confirm the nine participating teams for next year following a review of the 2011 season. Although we are disappointed that the Pistons will not be competing in 2012, there are plenty of examples of teams taking a year away from the competition to refocus and then coming back strongly. That is the situation with North Harbour, who we are delighted to welcome back with a new management team backed by a strong association. The NBL itself is in an extremely healthy state, with a solid platform and an excellent standard of basketball on display each week. Funding continues to be a challenge for many teams, but we have passionate people in each of our franchises who are committed to producing the best possible competition for their supporters to enjoy."
The Bartercard NBL Draw will be released in due course, with the season running from the beginning of March until the end of May in order to accommodate the Tall Blacks programme.

If Cut, Fiscal Deal Will Pale Against Expectations
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON -- Whether negotiated in a rush before the new year or left for early January, the fiscal deal President Barack Obama and Congress cobble together will be far smaller than what they initially envisioned as an alternative to purposefully distasteful tax increases and spending cuts.
Instead, their deal, if a deal they indeed cut, will put off some big decisions about tax and entitlement changes and leave other deadlines in place that will likely lead to similar moments of brinkmanship, some in just a matter of weeks.
Republican and Democratic negotiators in the Senate were hoping for a deal as early as Sunday on what threshold to set for increased tax rates, whether to keep current inheritance tax rates and exemptions and how to pay for jobless benefits and avoid cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.An agreement would halt automatic across-the-board tax increases for virtually every American and perhaps temporarily put off some steep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs. Gone, however, is the talk of a grand deal that would tackle broad spending and revenue demands and set the nation on a course to lower deficits. Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner were once a couple hundred billion dollars apart of a deal that would have reduced the deficit by more than $2 trillion over 10 years. Republicans have complained that Obama has demanded too much in tax revenue and hasn't proposed sufficient cuts or savings in the nation's massive health care programs. In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, Obama upped the pressure on Republicans to negotiate a fiscal deal, arguing that GOP leaders have rejected his past attempts to strike a bigger and more comprehensive bargain. "The offers that I've made to them have been so fair that a lot of Democrats get mad at me," Obama said.

LOS ANGELES, May 25, 2013 – Wooing 1990s television audiences as the tough-as-nails executive district attorney from Law & Order, Michael Moriarty is one of America's favorite stars and a legend among Hollywood actors. With his towering build, dashing personality and commanding voice, Moriarty has been frequently cast in roles that portray epic historical figures and razor-sharp leaders.
Starring in dozens of unforgettable, often heart-wrenching films like the post-Desert Storm war drama Courage Under Fire or the political thriller The Arrow as President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Moriarty commands respect on the silver screen. But when Moriarty isn't on camera, the same intensity of heart that won him three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe is directed towards the very real problems of today's political world.
Penning articles with a style reminiscent of conversing with one's favorite uncle yet supercharged with discourses that speak to deep questions of history, philosophy and religion, Moriarty's many writings are as enjoyable as they are controversial. Though often stringent to the political establishment for its many failures, Moriarty's tenderhearted nature and love for humanity still surfaces in his essays and blogs as he frequently speaks of God's blessing and the power of faith.
Truly an impressive man in our time, I had the honor of interviewing Michael Moriarty for his thoughts on current political events and the direction our country is headed. Not shy to speak out on topics many avoid and bold in his beliefs, Moriarty is every bit the dynamic celebrity millions of Americans have grown to love.
Danny de Gracia: Michael, you've been a powerful champion for preserving freedom and written a number of articles over the years in which you warn that our country is losing ground to the rise of a "Progressive New World Order" which, ironically, has seen bipartisan presidential support over the past few administrations.
Very few people seem to understand what's going on and even fewer have the courage to talk about it. What inspired you to speak out and get involved in politics?
Michael Moriarty: Janet Reno. I know that might sound odd, even hilarious. Reno and the Roe v. Wade decision. Primarily however, America and Americans can blame "General" Reno for my passionate involvement in the United States Declaration of Independence, her Bill of Rights, particularly America's freedom of speech and the ultimate horrors of the Roe v. Wade decision.
Once the Supreme Court in 1973 decided that infanticide could be legal, it not only ended America's "inalienable right to life" it threw the Golden Rule right off the shores of this continent. The American Supreme Court's definition of the Golden Rule for the last forty years now reads: "Do unto gestating infants what you would not want done to your own gestating infancy."
DDG: I notice in Hollywood a lot of celebrities promote globalist themes both in their personal opinions and in the movies they star in. It seems to me that modern pop culture seems to exalt the erosion of U.S. sovereignty, the rise of a totalitarian government and the establishment of a dystopian world.
When it comes time to voting, people who have been indoctrinated to that kind of propaganda barrage for years seem to willingly support politicians that support these kind of tyrannical policies. Do you think our culture and government has been hijacked by globalism?
Moriarty: Momentarily. President Obama is, I hope and pray, the final chapter in America of this self-destructive delusion called the "Progressive New World Order." It is unquestionably the major brainstorm of a progressively Marxist United Nations.
Now that President Obama is stewing in the hot waters of his Marxist impatience, I think that he and his Secretary of State's "what does it matter" dismissal of Benghazi will ultimately wound him far beyond even the games being played by his IRS.
Obama's IRS is not the IRS I've ever known for over seventy years as an American citizen.
The Obama Administration's clear and undeniable reckless disregard for American lives in Libya carries even more serious implications than grounds for impeachment. They are keeping a secret from America that could explode into treasonous implications.
DDG: It seems like the Democrats and Republicans alike have collectively lost their way. A lot of them are neither liberal or conservative but just plain tyrannical. The way Congress votes lately is almost like they never heard of the Constitution. What is going on here?
Moriarty: Thank you for that question! God bless you for it! Ask Senator McCain! If anyone has misled the world about the [Republican] Party's true intentions it was the very man I happened to have portrayed in the film The Hanoi Hilton. No wonder the Larry King Show didn't want me on promoting the film. They already knew how many different faces Senator McCain was hiding behind his cards.
Thank God he was not elected President of the United States. The games he plays would have postponed this moment of truth we now have with Obama, delayed it for possibly another eight years.
When McCain played his "put abortion on the back burner" as his ace-in-the-hole I knew he'd become a Bush family step-n-fetchit. George Senior's favorite new world order speech? Following that thousand year Reich invitation, Bush Senior openly throws the election to Clinton by saying in the debate "I don't have the vision thing."
No one, certainly not the Clintons or Obamas can prepare America for the United Nations "Progressive New World Order" better than the entire Bush family.
DDG: One of the things that concerns me is during the last election President Obama told Dmitry Medvedev off-mic that if re-elected he would have "more flexibility." Obama appointed a highly controversial Secretary of Defense that supports the anti-nuclear "Global Zero doctrine" yet Russia has been buzzing U.S. and NATO bases with armed nuclear bombers and China has been building brand new ICBMs and nuclear submarines.
Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush retired our stealth cruise missiles and our advanced Peacekeeper ICBMs. Now there's talk of retiring the B-2 bombers early and taking the U.S. Navy down to under 50 nuclear weapons per submarine. Is it just me or America is being intentionally disarmed while the communist countries beef up their arsenals?
Moriarty: "Make 'em an offer they can't refuse!" Remember how Obama admiringly imitated Marlon Brando's Godfather at the beginning of his first term? The progressively Marxist/communist New World Order out of the United Nations is making all of America and Americans an offer they cannot possibly refuse.
It's not like Obama never told us what he would be up to!
Their major problem, however – and that problem is Obama's, Vladimir Putin's, the Beijing Politburo's, the U.N.'s, the mainstream press and most of Hollywood's – is that America is truly a land of "better dead than Red."
From the increasing number of whistleblowers showing up to pull the rug out from under the entire Obama Nation and its true intentions, the unmitigated evil of this Progressive New World Order is beginning to spill its guts all over worldwide television.
The New World Order run by the United Nations ain't gonna happen. Because they've shown their hand and at least some corner of Congress and the American people are awake to it, they've blown it all.
Why? The impatience of evil! Hitler couldn't hold back. The Soviet Union couldn't maintain its tyranny.
And despite the debt America owes Red China, the Chinese, I believe, the majority of them, are rooting for the Tea Party to blow the Obama Nation, the Clintons, the Bushes and the entire New World Order scam of the United Nations, blow it across the Atlantic and into Paris as the disgustingly wealthy and treasonous hypocrites they are.
What's most delightful about this scenario is that France won't let George Soros in. He's already worn out his welcome there.
DDG: America still doesn't know what exactly happened during the Benghazi incident. One thing is clear, American lives were wasted by politicians. The story has changed so many times on that incident that you practically need wings to stay above the spin. Do you think that there will ever be any accountability for what happened that night?
Moriarty: As I've already said, it will bring the Obama Nation down and everything attached to that treasonous concoction. That includes the bipartisan agreement to put the likes of Barack Obama into the White House.
DDG: There's a great flashback scene in the movie Courage Under Fire where these new Army officers are being commissioned and their instructor says "Go forth, command wisely, advise prudently and judge with care, and above all, defend with all your heart, all your soul and all your courage the lives of the men and women under your command in the United States of America."
I think our elected officials should watch that movie and take a lesson from that speech. They don't really seem to understand leadership or command. Do you think the decline of our government may be in part from a lack of moral fiber among the two parties?
Moriarty: Both parties lost it behind closed doors. Some men do that and try not to let their wives know what was going on. For forty years, ever since the Roe v. Wade decision made infanticide legal, American leaders of both parties, have thought themselves invulnerable behind closed doors.
Now they are obviously the gang that can't even lie straight.
The communists have always thought of Americans as "useful idiots." That Republicans like the Bush family and Senator McCain seem to have agreed with that estimation of America and Americans? Not even Shakespeare could come up with a pack of wolves this presumptuously stupid.
Their misconception will bring them down for what amounts to a third time. First, the fall of the Berlin Wall, second, the partially cosmetic fall of Soviet Russia, and third, the fall of the Obama Nation.
Oh, by the way, who shot Kennedy? The New World Order shot Kennedy. He nailed their conspiracy here. And they had him shot. He's one of America's most gifted and fearless heroes. He knew the price he might have to pay. However, the truth, if known by great men, will come out! God bless him! Forever!
DDG: Last but not least, what do you think the average American can do to make a difference in these strange and very confusing times?
Moriarty: Never lose your faith in the American Dream. She's a nation under God, and God has never let a good American down. Not ever. Not even in death. Lincoln, Churchill and yes, JFK can only rise higher and higher in the halls of history and in the eternally indomitable heart of God's children.
We greatly appreciate Michael Moriarty for the opportunity to interview him. Moriarty is also a featured columnist for the Washington Times Communities whose articles can be read here.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or simply North Korea) is the last Stalinist state on earth. It is also the last one to join the nuclear programme. Since the late 1980's there were fears that North Korea is working on building its own atomic bomb. Though North Korea itself didn't admit to have done so clearly, neither did it declare the amount of plutonium it possesses despite that the Agreed Framework signed by North Korea and the United States (on 12 October 1994) would constrain it. In exchange for freezing their plutonium program they North Korea was promised fuel, energy (by building light-water nuclear power plants), and economic cooperation. Kim Jong-il, leader of North Korea until 17 December 2011, pushed the uranium reprocessing programme forward secretly as, as he later claimed, the U.S. didn't hold itself to the Agreed Framework. So in 9 October 2006 Korea announced to have made its first underwater nuclear-weapon test. This was followed by another one on 25 May 2009. This, of course, led to a decrease or even halt of supplies coming from the West, basically China remaining its sole trading partner for a long time, which didn't do too good to the already weak economy.
Since Kim Jong-il's death his son Kim Jong-un is the new leader of North Korea. He seems to follow a much "friendlier" politics than that of his father's, giving some allowances to the West like inviting back the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to the country. However, North Korea launched a satellite in April 2012 which might be indicating that they are developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. Though the launch was unsuccessful, the move was followed by international disapproval, and led to the suspension of food aid by the U.S.

TSecret Reviews from Yelp & Google+
TSecret is THE HOLY GRAIL of skin care!!! I absolutely love all the ladies there. I have been a loyal customer of theirs for almost a decade and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone with any type of skin condition or issue. Whether your acne is very mild or extremely severe, if you have dry or oily skin, or if you have already great skin and you want superb products and amazing facials to keep it that way, you must see the ladies at TSecret. They really know what they are doing and they have a passion for helping people by showing them how to have the best skin that you can have!! They treat you like family, and I am not just saying that because I have been going to them for almost 10 years. I have felt that since day 1. I am 27 years old and I have had acne since I was in middle school. The girls at TSecret have not only transformed my skin with their products AND facials, but they have educated me about my acne, about my skin type and about how nutrition plays a huge role in having great, clear skin. When you go to TSecret, you're not just getting a service that they provide, you are receiving an education that will change your life. They have certainly changed mine. An infinite amount of thanks and gratitude go out to Gail, Lisa, Astryd and all the girls at TSecret!!
After trying every acne cream and night/daytime moisturizers in the book I am soo happy I found this place!! NOTHING was working for my acne! I went in for my first facial 9/17 with Emily. By 9/20 my face looked a million times better!! The progress I have seen in a matter of a few days is what normally would take a month! I have received facials before but NEVER experienced anything like this! Emily spent a very patient thorough 2 1/2 hours on my face! The first 30-45 mins she spent prepping my face, opening my pores, cleansing my skin and even massaging my arms. I felt soo relaxed and warm because your in an enclosed room and they give you a garment to wear and you lay on a bench with a blanket and towels over you. During the facial Emily talked to me about my diet and told me what triggers my breakouts thats in my diet. I have never had terrible acne my whole life but something caused my skin to break out super bad at 26 years old. I don't mean 3 zits on my chin, I had a breakout surrounding my whole face below my forehead that had not cleared up in over a month! Not only was it so bad that people were noticing and asking what was wrong, it was very itchy and hurt!! Since my treatment and using Tamahras secret acne care (only 1 week) I have seen almost all the acne clear up! I am so excited I can almost go out in public again and not feel like people are looking at my acne. Not only was the facial amazing, the products that they sell are even more amazing! They are absolutely all organic, chemical free and they even smell wonderful! Using Tamahras secret day cream leaves my skin feeling fresh, naked and doesn't give me any oil shine throughout the whole day. Emily has checked in with me after my facial to ask how my skin is looking and even recommended some vitamins to take to help! I feel like she actually cares about the quality of my skin! Even though I live an hour and 45 mins away I will definitely be returning to get regular facials here!!! Thank you Sooo much to Emily and to Tamahra's Secrets amazing product line!
I've had many facials, but the facial at Tamahra's made me feel like my face had never been cleaner in my life. I went in with numerous milia in various spots, including several large, very visible ones on my forehead. I'd been to two dermatologists to try to get rid of them. Both tried, but neither of them even budged the stubborn bumps, which of course were all I could see when I looked at myself in the mirror. But, Astryd at Tamahra's eliminated every single milia on my face in one facial: probably 20 or 30 small ones and 5 or 6 large ones. So, for me, this was an extraordinarily effective facial. So amazing that I'm planning to book trips to Orlando every 6 months just to get this facial. When you book your appointment, plan for lunch at Infusion Tea.
I've been seeing Lisa at Tamahra's Secret for years, now that I live in another state I make sure to see her when I'm back in Orlando. Hands down the best facial EVER. They clean out all your pores, which is next to impossible…They steam naturally and do extractions so expect some level of discomfort- no pain, no gain. The products that they use, make and sell are all natural and high quality. They do not push you to purchase their products, but you should because they are great! I've had good facials elsewhere but this is still the best.
I also wanted to mention they are big advocates of a healthy lifestyle and have no problem letting you know that your dietary choices DO in fact reflect on your skin. They are not pushy, just matter of fact. My beliefs align with theirs so I found their honesty refreshing. Both Gail (the owner) and Lisa are walking testaments to what excellent natural skin care and facials, organic and hormone/pesticide/chemical free food, abundant clean water, high quality supplements and stress-less living can do for your skin…your body and your life.
There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to have found Gayle at Tamahra's Secret! All throughout my teenage years I would only breakout during "that time of the month". But as soon as I turned 22 by skin got worse. I would always have at least five active pimples around my chin area. Sometimes they would become cysts. I tried everything on the market, but nothing worked. So I thought about going to a dermatologist but I was a little worried about some of the medications they might prescribe me. Then one day my husband came home with a local magazine called "Natural Awakenings". I took a look inside a found an ad for Tamahra's Secret. I think it was meant to be! After my first facial my skin took a complete 180. I am on my third facial and my skin has never looked better. Also the staff at Tamahra's Secret are the BEST! I will be going back to Gayle for years to come. I would definitely recommend T's Secret to anybody who is suffering with acne.
Great place to go to if you're acne prone. I went to a dermatologist for years and they were unable to help. I went in for 1 treatment and it immediately reduced the number of outbreaks. The results are astounding.

Reviews for Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
Sort By :
"Pretty good. Way to many hash browns and not enough sausage. We left out the onions and chili's. I will try this again but only use about 1/2 the has browns and double the sausage."
"My family loves this casserole, I omit the onions and the chilies, and use Velveeta cheese instead of the shredded cheddar. It is delicious and very easy to make. I don't even pre-cook the sausage as it cooks in with the eggs and potatoes. Thanks Taste of Home for this great recipe!"
"I would give this zero stars if I could. If it was good enough to serve guests I figured it would be a winner for my New Year's Day breakfast after the Rose Parade. This was absolutely awful. The hashbrowns were nothing but a starchy mush, couldn't even taste the other ingredients. I made it exactly as called for in the recipe. Even drowned in salsa, I could not eat it. The whole thing went into the trash (what a waste of $7-$8) and I had a bowl of Chex (leftover from Christmas Chex Mix batches) with a sliced banana. I don't think TOH tested this recipe."
"Have not made this yet, although it looks very good, I would add a 1/4 tsp. of ground mustard and scallions to the scrambled eggs."
"I really liked this recipe. Make sure to grease the slow cooker well or it will over-brown on the sides. 7 hours was plenty long enough. The only thing I would change is maybe adding more sausage. It sort of gets lost in the egg mixture and you can't really taste it too much."
