Is it time for Cromwell to hang its promotion hat on something other than big fruit, a lake and old lettering? Jo McKenzie-McLean investigates.
The time has come to let the world know Cromwell is more than ''big fruit.''
Central Otago District Council community services manager Anne Pullar said the council would lead a process to develop a marketable brand for Cromwell.
Currently the town used some ''unique image sets'' to promote the town - Lake Dunstan, the fruit sculpture, and stylised wording of ''Cromwell,'' but that was not a brand.
''You want to go to the market and tell a unique story. I think it's timely Cromwell reviews what that story is. We all know Cromwell is more than big fruit - it is an important icon associated with our industry - but it's probably timely the community gets together and works in collaboration to develop a brand.''
Ms Pullar planned to discuss developing a brand with the Cromwell and Districts Promotions Group at its next meeting next month, then present a report to the Cromwell Community Board, she said.
Cromwell Community Board chairman Neil Gillespie said he emailed the promotions group in October suggesting it look at branding after discussions with Highlands Motorsport Park.
''It was something we were alerted to before the (December race meeting) - is our brand appropriate for what we have got now? Highlands is keen to work that through so the Cromwell community has got something everyone can use.''
Highlands Motorsport Park business development officer Josie Spillane said she was excited there would be consistency in a logo and brand the whole community could hang its hat on, which would create a synergy between all the attractions Cromwell had to offer.
''We really looked forward to working with the promotions group, community board and Tourism Central Otago in developing an identity for Cromwell and educating people there is so much to the region and it is worth a visit.''
''We have something really, really special here.''
However, a logo was not the ''be all and end all'' - businesses and community groups needed to have a proactive attitude to promote what Cromwell had to offer.
''We are working really hard to bring crowds - how can the town make the most of that? It is that out-side-of-the-box thinking local businesses in town need to give people a reason to go into Cromwell.''
Motorsport park organisers were already planning to start days later and finish earlier for the January meeting to give people the opportunity to go into the community, she said.
Many Cromwell businesses had commented trading was quiet during the motorsport park's first big race meeting, including community board member and manager of the Golden Gate Lodge Glen Christiansen.
However, there was still a huge opportunity for businesses to ''spring-board from what has happened over the weekend,'' he said.
''I know we are quick to say we missed the boat. I didn't think we missed the boat, I think we just underestimated the style (of visitor). People staying with me were there all day - our accommodation was busy but the food and beverage outlets were quiet.''
Mr Christiansen was already planning how to target crowds expected at the January race meeting, he said.
The town had ''moved on'' from the big fruit logo, he said.
''Times have changed, and people's experiences have changed.''
Likewise, Aimee Paardekooper of Cromwell PaperPlus said the ''ball was rolling'' to achieve better results for the January meeting.
''I have had discussions with local businesses how we can benefit from the next weekend. It is just a learning event for everyone.''
She welcomed a modernised logo and brand to fit with a town that was modern and going forward.
''I think the brand needs to be done regardless of the motorsport park. It is time if got updated.''
- The 13m high fibreglass fruit structure was erected in 1990 after the Cromwell Rotary Club successfully pitched the idea to the Cromwell Borough Council.
- In 1987, the Cromwell Borough called on the community to submit proposals for something different to advertise Cromwell.
- The club received a Clyde Dam amenity grant of $31,000 for the project and the Cromwell Borough made up the balance of $69,000.
- The local Promotion Group supplied the three signs reading ''Cromwell, The Centre of Attraction.''

A quick look at the front page of the site shows projects uploaded by woodworkers, knitters, welders, electricians and artists. It is safe to say we are an eclectic group, but we are brought together by a common desire to create and share. Although, we come from diverse backgrounds, I would hazard a guess that many of us first began "making" things in the kitchen. I always love the similarities between the kitchen, studio and workshop. Places where you need to know the basic principles and tools in order to get started, where experience lurks behind every corner waiting to teach a lesson you can't learn any other way, where a little knowledge and perseverance brings great rewards. All of these places are just waiting for that spark to strike, waiting for a little inspiration.
Inspiration comes from many places, but in this case it comes from the ingredients and a little cold weather. To me nothing says comfort food like the smell of fresh baked bread and a big pot of soup slowly simmering on the stove. The legendary Auguste Escoffier , said "Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite." That is pretty high praise for such a simple dish, but I could not agree more.
If you enjoy this Instructable, I would ask that you please take a moment and vote for it in the soup contest. Thank you for your consideration.
Step 1: The Gathering...
Materials List
aka Ingredients
1 Tablespoon of oil, I use canola oil
1 cup of chopped onion
1 garlic clove chopped or 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of curry paste
1 Tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
4 cups of peeled sweet potatoes, cubed, 1 medium potato makes about 1 cup
1 red or yellow sweet bell pepper, chopped and deseeded
3 - 14.5 oz cans of chicken stock
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 Tablespoon of Captain Rodney's Mango Fire Hot Sauce
2 Tablespoons of light rum (optional)
Dollop of sour cream and dash of paprika, per serving
The Tools
Controlled heat source, I used a standard gas cooktop
A vegetable peeler
A sharp knife and cutting surface
Measuring cups and spoons
A cooking vessel, I use a 5.25 quart enameled cast iron pot
Stirring utensil, I opted for my favorite wooden spatula
A blender, actually an immersion blender is perfect for this recipe but I do not have one so I use a standard blender.
Once you have gathered your materials and tools, you can move on to...
Step 2: Prepare thyself...err...thy ingredients.
As an aside, if you choose, you could make this recipe leaving the skins on, which adds nutrients, but I find it adds a grittiness to the final product that no amount of simmering can remove, so I skin them.
Now that you have a lovely grouping of sweet potatoes, sans skins, it is time to chop the vegetables. This time you do not want to clear your mind, you want to focus. Chopping is a dangerous business, so you simply must be careful. I have chopped a great many things in my time and pride myself as a chopper of note, but while making this very recipe before the holidays, I let my mind wander and I now have a lovely scar and no feeling whatsoever in my right thumbtip. So let my carelessness stand as a warning to you all.
Seriously, be careful and chop your potatoes, peppers and onions to your heart's content. The smaller you chop the pieces the less time it will take for them to cook in the broth, but the longer it will take to chop them, so you have to make your own decision on how to handle things. As you can see from the pictures, I left my veggies in fairly large pieces, but I had plenty of time and I love having a pot simmering on the stove. You will also note that I used both red and yellow peppers, this choice was based purely on the fact that I was prepping another dish that needed a half and half mix, and you should in no way feel obligated to follow my example in this. Although, it does make for a more interesting photograph.
Now that you have done your time on the chopping block, let's get down to the real business...
Step 3: Begin the Cookery...
Grab your cooking vessel and get ready to start cooking in earnest. I am using a 5.25 quart enameled cast iron casserole by Rachel Ray because my Mom gave me one as a gift and it works very well for this recipe, but any pot of sufficient size will do.
Add your tablespoon of oil and bring it up to heat over a medium flame. I choose canola oil, because it is low in saturated fats, it doesn't over flavor the dish and it has a high burn temperature. Once your oil is up to temp, add your onions and curry paste and mix them well together. Things are going to seem a little dry at this point, but keep stirring so it does not stick and as the onions begin to break down things will moisten up nicely.
Cook the onions, curry and oil for about 4 minutes or so and add the garlic and ginger. If there are other people around, this is the point when they pop in to see what you are making because this smells wonderful. I keep this mixture going for about 2 minutes and then add the peppers, sweet potatoes and chicken stock. I add the stock last to avoid splashing, but it is your kitchen, so do what you feel. At this point raise the heat a little to a medium-high flame and cook for 20 to 45 minutes, until the potatoes are very soft.
Sorry to be vague on the time, but this is where the size of your vegetable chunks come into play, so don't sweat the time and focus on the consistency. When the potatoes can be easily mashed with a fork your are ready. Seriously, don't worry. The longer this cooks the more concentrated the flavor is. So, as long as you stir occasionally and don't let it stick, things are only going to get better.
When you deem your potatoes thoroughly softened, it's time to move on to power tools...
Step 4: Frappe? Nay, puree.
Once again, I recommend that you use caution here, although the whirring blades are reasonably well housed in the blender, they will be spinning at a frightening speed through a very hot liquid, which would love nothing more than to spray out of the blender and give you a lovely burn to remember them by. So use potholders and make sure all covers are in place, etc. to keep this safe and fun for the whole family.
If you happen to own an immersion blender, or perhaps you win one as part of the Instructables soup contest, this is an absolutely perfect place to use it. Using an immersion blender you will be able to puree the mixture in the cooking pot, avoiding the dangerous transfer of hot liquids. Still, use caution, those immersion blenders are essentially outboard motors on sticks, like something from one of the Phantasm movies, so please be careful.
For those of us with traditional blenders, you will need to transfer the soup to the blender, taking care not to splash as the vegetables fall into the broth. On my blender it takes two and a half carafes of puree-ing to process the entire batch through it's semi-magical transformation from soup to bisque, so grab a serving bowl to transfer the bisque into as you process it.
At this point you could and some would say should pour the mixture through a sieve to strain out any larger pieces, but I say throw caution to the wind and consider any tiny pieces of unassimilated bell pepper to be evidence of the handmade nature of this product.
Stick with me, we are almost there...
Step 5: The Final Touches
First, stir in a teaspoon or so of cinnamon to bring out the flavor of the curry and add depth to the over all flavor.
Next add a tablespoon or so of Captain Rodney's Mango Fire Hot Sauce. Any sweet hot sauce would work here, but this is my favorite and I love the flavor and hint of mango that it adds.
Finally, finish up with two tablespoons of light rum, I choose Myers's Platinum White , but let your preference decide. Using dark rum is an option, but I find it brings too much of it's own flavor to the bisque. Of course, using any rum is optional, but it really adds a smoothness to the flavor that really brings the bisque together. Think of the rum as the bisque version of the Dude's rug .
Feel free to adjust the amounts on all three of these ingredients, as they are very much "to taste". I actually use more hot sauce and cinnamon when I make it for myself, but my wife insists I tone it back for guests.
Step 6: Stand and Deliver and Present and Serve
There are several great additions to this soup, so let you imagination run wild. I have added leftover rice to the finished bisque for a heartier meal and it is really excellent with a little toasted coconut sprinkled on top, so have fun with it.
I hope you have enjoyed this long winded and overly detailed introduction to this great dish, is really simple to make and it's beautiful presentation makes you look like a star to your guests. I always make plenty as it keeps well in the refrigerator and I swear it is one of those dishes that is even better the next day.
Step 7: The Simple, Unadorned Recipe
Monkeybrad's Curried Sweet Potato Bisque
1 Tablespoon of oil (I used canola because it's low in saturated fats, doesn't over-flavor and has a high burn temperature.)
1 cup of chopped onion
1 garlic clove chopped or 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of curry paste
I Tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
4 cups of peeled sweet potatoes, cubed
1 red sweet bell pepper chopped and deseeded
3 - 14.5 oz cans of chicken stock
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 Tablespoon of Captain Rodney's Mango Fire Hot Sauce
2 Tablespoons of light rum (optional)
Dollop of sour cream and dash of paprika, per serving
Heat oil over medium low heat, add curry paste and onions. Cook about 4 minutes, then add garlic and ginger and cook 2 more minutes. Add bell peppers, sweet potatoes and chicken stock. Raise heat to medium and stir occasionally, cooking till potatoes are very soft. Remove from heat and, then puree mixture in blender. You may need to do this in batches. Once pureed, add cinnamon, hot sauce and rum for a smoother flavor.
Serve in soup bowls with a dash of paprika and a dollop of sour cream.
I discovered that I no longer own a potato peeler, so I had to go old school with a knife. That slowed me down a bit and I was glad I had extra hands in the kitchen to take up my slack.
Great recipe, Brad!
Itd be worth linking to the soup contest if its still going on. Id be happy to vote for you, but I know nothing about it, or how to vote :(

2013 NBA Playoffs: Indiana Coach Frank Vogel Deserves Praise For Team's 2-0 Start In Playoffs
Indiana Pacer coach Frank Vogel drawing plenty of credit for most of the season when the Pacers were cruising through the NBA schedule and challenging the Miami Heat, at one time, for the top spot in the NBA West.
He was receiving tons of credit for putting Indiana in the position of being NBA contender.
He also took some blame when the team started fading in the final weeks of the season and fell from the No. 2 spot, with a chance to catch Miami, to the No. 3 position below the New York Knicks.
In each case, Vogel deserved either the credit or blame he was receiving.
Now the Pacers are up 2-0 in the NBA series against the Atlanta Hawks and Vogel deserves credit for many reasons.
To begin with, he didn't start ripping his team which a lot of coaches might do in a situation like that. He didn't start pushing the panic button which many observers did.
What Vogel did was go back to Indiana Pacer basketball and rely on the players like Paul George and Roy Hibbert to do their thing and let the Pacers take the action to the opponent. He knew he was playing at home and in the playoffs, home crowd is far more of an advantage than during the regular season.
Vogel also realizes it still could go to seven games. If so, it's simply back to basics. There's no sense to panic until they're out of the playoffs. In the meantime, Vogel has his team paying solid basketball and he deserves tons of credit.

The New Jersey Devils Will Have to Work to Get Back in the Playoffs
The New Jersey Devils rode momentum and luck to an Eastern Conference title in 2011-12. That might as well have been 25 years ago because it means very little now. Truth be told, if they play the upcoming regular season like they did a year ago they will miss the playoffs for a second time in three seasons.
There is no hiding the fact the Devils offense scored 228 goals last season with Zach Parise and his 31 goals in the lineup. There is no hiding the fact those goals will need to come from other sources. Since New Jersey did very little to bolster its offense, the difference must come from within.
It is plausible to assume that any given player, when provided the opportunity, can and will step up his game. In the Devils case, that means players like Adam Henrique, David Clarkson, the fourth line and even Ilya Kovalchuk will have to do just that. At this point I have no reason to believe they won't.
New Jersey will also need another x-factor player or two to emerge. Last season that responsibility fell to Henrique and Clarkson, both of whom exceeded expectations and proved to be major contributors even into the playoffs. Who will it be this season? My guess is that if he stays healthy and that's a big 'if,' Jacob Josefson will finally turn the corner and be the player we saw flashes of last fall.
Mattias Tedenby and the newly acquired Bobby Butler could be enormously important to the Devils success or failure this season. This could be a make a break year for the diminutive Swede after having fallen out of favor with the coach nearly every season. Devils president and GM Lou Lamoriello is confident that Butler is a top-six NHL talent. If so, this would be the perfect time to make it official.
Head coach Pete Deboer did a wonderful job in his first season behind the bench. His team finished 48-28-6 with 102 points and made a trip the Stanley Cup Finals. How can Deboer possibly follow up a performance like that? It's simple really. Work on correcting the issue that plagued his team for most of the regular season and into the playoffs; tighten up the defense and its ability to hold onto leads, big ones.
New Jersey was heavily outscored in the third period. They blew more three-goal leads than I care to remember and who can forget the close call with the Florida Panthers in round one. At one point in the season, the Devils were outscored nearly two-to-one in the final period of hockey games. A repeat performance like this and you can kiss a playoff birth goodbye. Deboer has added former Devils defenseman Scott Stevens to the coaching staff. Let's hope this is the first step in plugging up the leaky D.
Finally, New Jersey must win games in regulation and avoid relying on the shootout for wins. The Devils led the league with a 12-4 shootout record and were tied for first with a 16-6 post-regulation record. If you take away New Jersey's 12 extra points secured in shootout victories, they miss the playoffs by two points. This actually goes hand-in-hand with the third period issues. Many of these overtimes and shootouts could have been avoided by playing better with the lead in regulation.
On the bright side, all the OT experience paid huge dividends in the playoffs. The Devils used two consecutive OT wins to stave off elimination and advance in round one and knocked off the hated New York Rangers with a double-overtime win in game six of the Eastern Conference Finals.
I believe the Devils have the tools in place to be successful this season and get back to the playoffs. The difference between this season and last is the increased level of expectations. After such a successful playoff run how can it not be?

Plans for a new South Taranaki medical centre have been scrapped because of a doctor shortage.
Hawera's Southcare Medical started making arrangements in July to open a clinic in Opunake as early as last month.
But it has now pulled the pin after two of its 10 doctors resigned recently.
The clinic is not the town's new medical centre that is being planned by the Coastal Taranaki Health Trust.
Southcare Medical trust chairwoman Ella Borrows said one doctor had retired and another was setting up his own practice, which had slashed any hope of opening up shop in Opunake.
"It's not good for us to send a doctor to Opunake while trying to maintain 10,000 enrolled patients in Hawera," she said.
"Hawera is our core focus and we need to service that before we branch out to other areas."
Change has been rife at Southcare Medical since the shock resignation of general manager Kevin Simpson last month.
His exit came just weeks after the medical centre launched a major review into its sustainability.
Mrs Borrows, who is the acting general manager, said working with the Coastal Taranaki Health Trust, which is building a medical centre in Opunake, was still on the cards.
"We haven't given up on working collaboratively with Opunake and its doctor in the future."
Before Mr Simpson's abrupt departure talks had begun around the viability of Southcare moving into Opunake.
"There was a softening of the line while Kevin was here and the trust has followed through with that and the pin has been pulled," Mrs Borrows said.
The ongoing review at Southcare is to make sure they are meeting their targets both medically and financially.
Mrs Borrows said there were always things that could be done better and the review would identify weaknesses.

Baltimore Ravens' Rumors: Ray Maualuga Could Fill Void at Linebacker
So far free agency hasn't been kind to the Baltimore Ravens. After trading away Anquan Boldin to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, the team lost linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger to the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns respectively with the start of free agency. In addition, the team released veteran safety Bernard Pollard in what appears to be another salary related move. These moves come on the heels of the organization losing Ray Lewis and Matt Birk to retirement earlier this offseason.
The exodus of the roster may not be over, however, as the team also has yet to reach a new contract with star safety Ed Reed. While the departures continue to add up, one name the team has been linked to as a possible replacement for the departed players is Ray Maualuga. Maualuga would fill a position of need with the Ravens by solidifying one of the inside linebacker positions that was previously held by Ellerbe. Maualuga is also young, at age 26, and could be the solution long-term in Baltimore if he were to sign. The contract terms may be an issue for both sides, but the market isn't believed to be very aggressive for Maualuga so the team could get him at a relatively fair price.
Last season, Maualuga started in all 16 games for the Cincinnati Bengals and accumulated one sack and 62 tackles from his inside linebacker position. Maualuga's familiarity within the division would also be a plus for the Ravens as they are aware of his skill set and how he stacks up against the remaining teams in the division.
The Ravens' offseason has been characterized by massive departures, but fans shouldn't overreact to the team's unaggressive strategy thus far. The team has shown they are capable of replenishing their talent or departures through the draft. The organization has been the model of consistency over the past decade and always seems to find players to fit their scheme. While the pressure to contend and repeat as Super Bowl Champions may be daunting, the team is committed to their philosophy and will not make any hasty decisions that could jeopardize their franchise's future.
The Ravens will still look to add pieces in free agency, but they will not overspend in acquiring talent. They will remain committed to their philosophy and it is hard to argue with their plan after their successful season last year. Look for the team to continue to address areas of need through free agency, but don't be surprised if more players move on from the Ravens like a Reed or Pollard.
If the team makes a commitment to signing Maualuga, one of their most glaring needs will be filled. Maualuga could provide above-average production and veteran stability to a position of importance in the Ravens' defense. If the team is committed to remaining relevant and competitive, this is a move they should strongly consider. The team, I'm sure, has a plan in place to address all their needs and sources seem to indicate that Maualuga may be part of that plan.

LEWISBORO, N.Y. – It's an event that has become an annual tradition in Lewisboro, a community well known for its horse farms and riding stables.
The Lewisboro Horsemen's Association will have its 2012 Fall Hunter Pace Sunday at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
"We've been doing it for quite a while now – around 15 years," said Callie Bauer, president of the association.
The event is a competition where you don't want to finish first.
"It takes place on a marked trail that's eight-miles long. You don't want to be the fastest or the slowest," Bauer explained. "You want to have the average time. Teams go out at three-minute intervals and are timed."
The teams are broken down into divisions, including Hunt (the fastest pace), Pleasure (the slowest pace), Junior (at least one rider 18 or under), and Western (at least one Western rider). Each team can have two or three riders. Riders under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. All gaits are incorporated in the event, from walk to trot to cantor.
The event is part of the Associated Bridle Trails Fall Pace Series, which includes Bedford, Greenwich, Middlebury, Newtown, Pawling, Putnam and Rockefeller State Park in Sleepy Hollow. Ribbons are awarded from first to 10th place with winners earning points toward trophies in the Fall Pace Series.
Proceeds go toward helping maintain horse trails throughout Lewisboro.
"The [money] helps support LHA programs including maintenance of over twenty-five miles of riding trails that run throughout Lewisboro across private, public and land trust properties," Bauer said. "[Those trials] adjoin the North Salem Bridle Trails Association to the north and run south through the Lewisboro Town Park to Ward Pound Ridge Preservation and the Bedford Riding Lanes Association's trails."
Entrance fees include a hot buffet lunch and admission to the park for one tow vehicle and trailer. Pre-event registration fees are $65 for adult member riders, $75 for non-member adults, $45 for junior member, $50 non-member junior, $25 for "munchkin" riders and $30 for lunch for non-riders. A $10 surcharge is added to registrations on the day of the event. Start times are from 8 a.m. to noon, with lunch served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The awards ceremony is at 2 p.m.
Now celebrating its 22nd season, the association hosts events throughout the year, including its Spring Poker Run, family barbecues in the summer, trail clean-up days, and educational seminars at its winter holiday party. The organization welcomes riders of all disciplines. Trail membership is $55 per year for an individual and $65 per family. Supporting membership for those who do not ride but want to support the trail system is $30. Juniors are encouraged to join. Members will receive a registration discount for the Fall Hunter Pace.
For more information about the event, including directions and registration forms, go to the association's website, www.lhatrails.org, or call 914-763-5742 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tom Cleverley spent the 2010-11 season with the Latics and the club are now set to agree a loan deal for Henriquez, an 18-year-old Chilean forward.
Martinez cannot wait to link up with the talented youngster and is expecting goals.
"Angelo is as good a goalscorer as you will find," said Martinez, quoted in the Daily Mirror.
"He scored goals at Universidad de Chile and he is going to score goals here.
"I am sure he will be an important player for United.
"We are glad we can work with him and he can use Wigan as Tom Cleverley did and adapt to what is needed in this league."
Henriquez joined United in September and made his international debut for Chile last month, marking the occasion with a late goal against Serbia.

Diamonds In The Rough Lyrics
Artist: Dead Moon
Album: Hardwired in Ljubljana
Rivers of sorrow, diamonds in the rough
Everything you wanted and it still ain't enough
Load it in the chamber, fire point black
If it don't make change, it don't make rank
I'm not ready
Strike in silence, witnesses denied
If we all take the backseat, who's gonna drive
Eye on America, justice is blind
If we're so far ahead, how come we're running behind
I'm not ready
I'm not ready to let go
I'm not ready for stereo
I'm not ready to give in
I'm not ready to start again
I'm not ready to be controlled
I'm not ready to be so-so
I'm not ready to calm down
I'm not ready to leave this town

A Rainy Day Story
Today was "one of those days." I don't believe I've ever seen as much rain fall so hard or for so long as I did today. My wife and I were on our way to Tyler, Texas, to make a couple of purchases and, more importantly, to see Dr. John Hudnall, an ear, nose and throat specialist, because I had a little physical problem. A blood vessel apparently burst in my nose, and I had experienced some bleeding the past two nights.
When we arrived at Hudnall's office, we filled out the necessary forms, waited about 15 minutes and were ushered into an adjoining office. We listened as Hudnall talked with another patient. He was patient, kind and gentle, and the tone of his voice made both of us realize he was a doctor interested in the care of his patients.
He treated me with the same courtesy, carefully explaining the problem. He pointed out that although he was not totally certain, he had every reason to believe he had spotted the culprit and that cauterization would solve the problem. He finished the procedure and indicated he thought the problem was solved. He gave me some specific instructions, suggesting I buy a nasal spray to use for a couple of days, and bid us a friendly and pleasant goodbye.
He truly is an old-fashioned doctor practicing up-to-date medical care. Message: There are friendly people and caring doctors everywhere, and the best way to find them is to be a friendly, caring person who expects to find them wherever you go. Take that approach, and I will see you at the top!

Just stayed 3 nights in this small hostel.
Really quiet in winter. It is very well located because it is really near the city center by foot and you can easily park the car (for free). Everything there is brand new.
The staff was really nice too. We really had no problems!
Do not hesitate to book and enjoy your trip there!

Dog control officers thought they had seen it all, until they were called to deal with a powerful flightless bird, thought to be extinct for centuries.
A woman called Masterton District Council asking for help with a "baby moa" in her garden, dog control team leader Malcolm Falk said.
"We thought it might have been a bit of a wind-up, but it wasn't."
The woman was "quite mystified" by the very large, fierce-looking flightless bird that was making a loud booming noise.
But sadly for Masterton's tourism industry, Mr Falk identified it not as a mighty, extinct moa, but as a much more recent arrival - an emu.
Emus, which are related to ostriches, were introduced to New Zealand from Australia for small-scale meat farming.
Mr Falk was told there had once been an emu-breeding farm on the other side of the Waingawa River, across from the town's water treatment plant in the Kaituna area.
Workers at the plant confirmed there were some emus living wild in bush in the Waingawa riverbed, and had noticed one was missing.
"They said, 'oh, you've got our moa, have you'?" Mr Falk said.
Returning the emu "without causing a traffic accident, or harming the bird or ourselves" was a challenge.
Mr Falk used a "snappy snare", a type of long whip, to steer the bird without touching it or scaring it along the 1.5 kilometre stretch of road to the area of bush near the water treatment plant.
"It was like how you deal with a trotter," he said.
The operation was delicate because of the bird's powerful appearance and "huge claws".
"They can disembowel you, and they can bloody jump. But he was quite content, it was a leisurely walk."
The emu trotted off into the bush, not far from the edge of the Tararua forest park.
During his four years at the council, Mr Falk had dealt with animals including sheep, pigs, goats, horses, possums, cats, rabbits and a pea-hen that tried to enter a fried chicken restaurant.
But catching the "moa" was the strangest job so far.
The emu episode happened back in February and appears in the 2012-13 dog control report to be presented today to the council's resource management committee.

Message for Sea Sunday
"Life at Sea Is Still Difficult and Dangerous"
VATICAN CITY, JULY 15, 2006 (Zenit) - Here is the message for Sea Sunday, which many countries will observe in two days, issued by the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, the Vatican dicastery that includes the pastoral care of seafarers.
* * *
As the Apostleship of the Sea celebrates Sea Sunday 2006, once again our thoughts and prayers go to all the seafarers and fishing communities worldwide, together with those who are involved in cruise ships and yachting.
This year we observe this day with renewed optimism because in February a comprehensive Convention on Maritime Labor Standard was adopted opening the way -- if ratified and implemented -- for the emergence of a new maritime world order that will offer new opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work.
But, on the other hand, we were disappointed that the proposed Convention on Work in the Fishing Sector was not approved during the 93rd ILO (International Labor Organization) Conference, in 2005.
This international instrument would have made all kind of professional fishing a safer and more just workplace. It is hoped that it will be presented again and adopted at the next ILO Conference. It is hence important that AOS members continue to campaign and join forces with local fishermen's organizations to promote the understanding and the adoption of this instrument.
In the meantime, in spite of the fact that the shipping trade is enjoying a period of growth and that the demand for fisheries products is unprecedented, globalization is putting the dignity of the human persons involved in shipping and fishing under heavy strain and life at sea is still difficult and dangerous.
Globalization of labor and finance in shipping, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, but also rigid regulations that do not take into account essential needs of fishing communities, are causing harm to the maritime profession and environment. To alleviate this and to contribute to a new social order, it is essential to establish with and among seafarers and fishing communities relationships of solidarity and cooperation. Solidarity is one of the basic concepts of the Church's social teaching, which is based on the principles of the dignity of the human person and of the common good of all.
Sea Sunday is therefore a reminder for the Apostleship of the Sea to be faithful to its vocation and to keep intact its Christian perspective, which is to put the human being at the centre of all planning and projects, to make a firm commitment especially in favor of the poor and the weak, to promote a sense of brotherhood and solidarity, to share with everyone the hope that evil will not prevail and things can be changed for the better, as it is in the Paschal mystery.
There are many things that contribute to an individual's well-being: good material and working conditions are indeed indispensable but we cannot be guided solely by economic considerations; respect for the social and spiritual dimensions of each person, without which no real and sustainable happiness can be achieved, is also essential.
With this in mind, next year, we shall hold our 22nd AOS World Congress in Gdynia, Poland, from June 24 - 29. One of the conclusions in the AOS Congress of Rio de Janeiro (2002), was that the "globalized maritime industry be given a humane face."
This time we shall go a step further and take this opportunity to discuss and deepen the understanding of our pastoral care, the apostolate's spirituality and its specific contribution to the maritime world.
Let us pray that this will be a time of grace that will enable us to progress in our mission, which is to reach out to all the people of the sea.
On this auspicious day we wish you all a happy celebration, invoking on all seafaring and fishing communities and on all chaplains, pastoral agents and volunteers of AOS the maternal intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary, the "Stella Maris."
May she pray for us, teaching us how to strengthen the bonds of Christian solidarity among us, through proclamation of the Word, liturgy and service.

Crunchbang 11 Waldorf review
Time for my annual abuse. As you all know, the Crunchbang community loves me, and they dedicated five pages of their forum space for my Statler review, which they loved so. Now, it's time for another test, the 64-bit version of their latest release, known as Waldorf, still officially labeled beta.
While there's a very high likelihood of the community giving me a proverbial goatse, I am undaunted in my mission. So it's time to see how the second Debian-based version of Crunchbang, a fairly non-newbie distro, behaved on my SSD-powered test box, alongside three other operating systems. Do follow me.
