GREENSBORO, N.C. - UNCG men's basketball sophomore forward Kayel
Locke (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) scored the game-tying basket with 3.7
seconds left in regulation to force overtime where the Spartans pulled out a
come-from-behind 69-65 victory over The Citadel Thursday night in Southern
Conference action at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The Spartans rallied from a 12-point second half deficit to win their third
straight game and surpass last season's win total just 19 games into the season
at 10-9 (9-22 last year). UNCG did not lead in the game until the overtime
period, trailing the entire regulation time besides 23 seconds in the second
half when the game was tied. The victory was also the sixth straight win over
The Citadel in series history, improving to 17-7 all-time against the Bulldogs.
Locke finished the game with a team-high 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds
in 38 minutes of action. He scored 16 of his points in the second half and
overtime period as he was 7-of-15 from the field and 7-of-9 from the free throw
Junior forward Kyle Cain (Chicago, Ill./Arizona State) notched his
league-leading seventh double-double of the season with 20 points and a
career-high 16 rebounds, 12 on the defensive end. Cain's play helped the
Spartans out-rebound the Bulldogs 45-34, including 27-16 after halftime for the
top rebounding team in the conference.
UNCG (10-9, 3-1 SoCon) found itself trailing The Citadel 43-31 with 14:26
remaining in the second half after a three-pointer from Marshall Harris III. The
Spartans started the long climb back with a 9-0 run to trim the deficit to 43-40
with 12:31 remaining. Locke was the catalyst in the burst, scoring six points,
while sophomore Jordan Potts (Columbus, Ohio/Northland) hit a big
three-pointer to get the crowd going at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The Citadel (4-15, 0-4 SoCon) showed its fight, responding with five straight
points, including a three-pointer from Ashton Moore to make it a 48-40 contest.
Freshman guard Tevon Saddler (Aberdeen, Md./St. Frances Academy) stepped
up this time to ignite an 8-0 spurt, tying the game at 48-48. Saddler scored six
points in the run as he attacked the basket at will against the Bulldogs before
hitting a floater in the line for the game's first tie with 4:57 remaining.
The Bulldogs quickly retook the lead and held a 57-53 lead with 2:34 left
after Moore hit another three-pointer. Locke hit one of two free throws on the
ensuing possession before the Spartans came up with their biggest defensive play
of the game. Cain stepped in front of a Citadel pass at the top of the key and
broke in alone for a fast break basket, making it a one-point game at 57-56.
After Moore hit a pair of free throws with 31.1 seconds left to extend the
lead back to three, Cain was fouled in the post. He only hit one of two free
throws but Harris III missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw attempt,
giving UNCG the ball with 16.7 seconds remaining trailing 59-57. The Spartans
went into the post to Cain, who got a good look at the basket, but his shot was
just off the mark. Locke was left alone on the backside of the basket and
corralled the rebound before laying it in for the game-tying basket with 3.7
seconds left. The Citadel had a wild three-point attempt go well wide at the
buzzer, sending the game into overtime.
After Saddler gave the Spartans their first lead with a free throw at 60-59,
Moore hit a pair to put the Citadel back in front. On the next possession,
junior Nicholas Paulos (Salt Lake City, Utah/New Hampton School) drained
a three-pointer to put the Spartans in front 63-61, just his second long range
make of the night and the Spartans' fifth as a team. UNCG took care of business
on the defensive glass and Potts hit a free throw before Cain nailed a jumper
for a 66-61 lead.
Matt Van Scyoc hit a deep, turnaround three-pointer to pull the Bulldogs
within two points at 66-64. The teams traded possessions with neither one
finding a basket until the final minute. Locke once again came up with the big
play as he drove down the lane and hit a tough, contested runner through contact
giving UNCG a four-point lead with 19 seconds remaining. The Spartans were able
to secure the victory as they traded free throws in the closing seconds for the
improbable win.
UNCG finished the game shooting just 36.4 percent (24-of-66) from the field
and only 29.4 percent (5-of-17) from long range in the victory, but were strong
in the overtime, hitting 3-of-4 from the field. The Spartans also only committed
11 turnovers in the victory, while forcing the Bulldogs into 15 miscues on the
strength of eight steals.
Saddler finished the night with nine points, six of which came in the crucial
second half stretch before fouling out in the opening minute of overtime. Potts
chipped in seven points, while Paulos added six points and five rebounds in the
team victory.
The Citadel finished the night shooting 41.8 percent (23-of-55) from the
field and hit 10-of-28 (35.7%) from long range. The Bulldogs were done in by
hitting just 1-of-8 (12.5%) from the field in the overtime period and despite
entering the game as one of the top free throw shooting teams in the SoCon, only
made 9-of-18 (50%) from the charity stripe.
Moore led the Bulldogs with 21 points, including five three-pointers, while
also handing out five assists and grabbing five rebounds. Van Scyoc posted a
double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds but was limited to just three
points after the opening 20 minutes of play.
The Citadel came out of the gate quickly, jumping to a 14-2 lead early on as
the Spartans struggled offensively. \Van Scyoc and Moore hit early
three-pointers for the Bulldogs. The Spartans slowed the run with eight straight
points to narrow the gap to 14-10. Freshman guard Tyrone Outlaw (Roxboro,
N.C./Person County) came off the bench and ignited the spurt with a
three-pointer against the zone.
The Spartans connected on just 23.3 percent (7-of-30) from the field and just
2-of-8 (25%) from long range in the opening 20 minutes. Cain Led the way with
nine points and six rebounds in the half but only connected on 4-of-11 from the
field. The Citadel ended the half shooting 47.8 percent (11-of-23) from the
field, including five three-pointers. Van Scyoc led the way with 13 points and
seven rebounds as he hit three long range shots.
The Spartans return to action in less than 48 hours as they host perennial
SoCon power Davidson. Game time is set for 5 p.m. at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Sea Center Texas Seeks Public's Help to Name 2 Popular Residents
LAKE JACKSON, Texas — Sea Center Texas is seeking help in naming two of its popular fish, a Queensland grouper and a green moray eel. Visitors and fish lovers are asked to submit name suggestions through March 25, 2009, by visiting the Sea Center Texas visitor center at 300 Medical Drive or on-line via the TPWD Web site.
The facility staff and volunteers will review the names submitted and select the top five name suggestions for each of the fish. Afterwards, the top five names will be placed on a ballot. Voting will take place in April. The winning names will be announced during a special event in May.
The first fish to be named was transferred to its new home in the summer of 2008. It is a Queensland grouper that weighs about 50 pounds. Like its predecessor, "Gordon," the grouper is native to Australia and has lived most of its life in an aquarium environment. The fish was donated to Sea Center in 1998 because the previous owners no longer had space for the fish. Its age is unknown but it's at least 13 years old. Biologist at the facility are not sure of the grouper's gender or how much larger it will grow. Some doubt it will ever reach the size of Gordon, who died in the summer of 2008 at 23 years old and more than 320 pounds.
The second fish to be named is a green moray eel that has been on exhibit since 1998. It was donated to Sea Center Texas by George Flores of Houston who caught the eel and brought it to the facility to be certified as a state record. After the certification, it was placed on exhibit. Since then, it has grown from its original size of 48 inches and 7.7 pounds. The moray's current weight is unknown but is estimated to be over 6 feet long.
The eel and grouper share Sea Center's 50,000 gallon Gulf aquarium with several other fish including crevalle jack, redfish, Atlantic spadefish, gray snapper and red snapper. At 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday and Friday, visitors can view the feeding of the aquarium fish and have a good opportunity to view the reclusive green moray.
In addition to the Gulf exhibit, the visitor center has several other aquariums that each houses its own unique underwater marvels. Visitors will especially enjoy frisky diamondback turtles that swim up to greet you, slow moving and lackadaisical snook and inquisitive porcupine puffers.
In addition, the site offers guided hatchery tours, self-guided tours of the wetland exhibit and a variety of special events and fishing programs. For more information call (979) 292-1000 or visit Sea Center's website at tpwd.texas.gov/seacenter.

Apartments are 8 Years and Over 100,00 Miles in the Making
(Le Mars) -- Over 9,000 miles away from home, the Darmanin family of Malta is creating what
will soon be the home to at least 2 Le Mars residents. Charles and Doris Darmanin have owned
the building that's the current location of Hair Trendz and Twice is Nice for 12
years. When there's business on the lower level, sometimes the upper level in historic
downtown buildings can be a mystery. Not anymore at 107 & 109 Plymouth Street NW!
to come to Le Mars and, well...work!
Listen to
That's their son Lloyd. With his help, two light-filled, street facing apartments are re-done
from floor to ceiling with arched doorways leading from room to room.
Just a couple weeks ago, Lloyd says the outside facade was restored to reflect historic
downtown Le Mars style.
Listen to
They were also able to maintain the original windows. Nearly finished bathrooms have a
fresh look with new tile and fixtures. And, besides a few finishing touches- what's left is
getting water up there as well as electrical. The Darmanin's say that's in store for next
summer, as their time runs out this year August 17th.
They said respecting the age of the building is important to them, the permits to build this
specific building were drawn up in 1902. However, compared to where they're from: Malta, a
small island south of Sicily, Lloyd joked with me about how 100+ years is nothing.
Listen to
So what brought them to Le Mars in the first place? Their daughter married someone from
Merrill. Even though she doesn't live here anymore, Mother, Father and Son keep coming
back. Not just because of the property, but also because they love the people...oh, and Lyle
loves American cars. He frequents car shows and has bought for different classic cars in
the time he's spent here over the years. The cars have made the trip across the Atlantic to Malta.
Two additional apartments, that haven't been lived in since the 60's or 70's, located on the rear side of
the building, still await a face lift. When will those be complete? The
Darmanin's aren't sure, but there's already interest in the two that are being renovated.
They hope to have them done after next summer's visit to Le Mars.

Before I go batty trying to make it work, IS IT even compatible with Address Book or Mail?
Thanks in advance guys, Zimbra is truly an amazing piece of software.

A Perfect Glow Job: Tips from San Francisco's Self-Tanning Queen
Looking for a pre-summer glow that's affordable and safe for your skin, but comes without the day-glow orange ankles, dark elbows or uneven patches that all-too-often show up uninvited after at-home self-tanner sessions?
For tips on bronzing up the right way, we checked in with San Francisco self-tanning expert Sinead Norenius, a former national director of education for St. Tropez who now offers up her tanning know-how on her popular Self Tanning Queen blog. This month, Norenius launched Beautisol, her own line of self-tanning products, exfoliators and accessories to help the melanin-challenged among us go darker without sun damage.

We are getting a large amount of spam from overseas locations. So I set up my own RBL list and added it to the mta using zmprov - and that has worked well, until we had some legitimate email blocked. The sender of the email was sending via one of the compromised SMTP servers in my RBL list.
What I want to do is add my RBL to spamassassin - then for those few emails we get, the individual recipient can add the sender to their private white list.
I created a file named:
and put in it:
header __RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL eval:check_rbl('private', 'bl.mydomain.net.')
describe __RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL Received via a relay in bl.mydomain.net
tflags __RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL net
reuse __RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL
header RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL_SPAM eval:check_rbl_sub('private', '127.0.0.2')
describe RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL_SPAM PRIVATERBL: sender is confirmed spam source
tflags RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL_SPAM net
reuse RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL_SPAM
score RCVD_IN_PRIVATERBL_SPAM 0 3 0 3 # n=0 n=2
and I restarted zimbra (zmcontrol restart) but the above config file appears to be ignored.
Any suggestions?

Myanmar: UN calls for urgent action on Rakhine
|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN)
|Publication Date
|25 October 2012
|Cite as
|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Myanmar: UN calls for urgent action on Rakhine, 25 October 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/508e7e182.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The UN is calling for urgent action in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine State as levels of communal violence worsen.
"The needs of the displaced people in Rakhine are urgent," UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Ashok Nigam told IRIN from Yangon. "Significantly more resources are needed to sustain the humanitarian efforts. I would urge all partners to help us meet these challenges in Rakhine State immediately."
The call comes amid a fresh wave of communal violence between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic (mainly Buddhist) Rakhine this week which has already left at least four people dead and over 1,000 homes burned.
According to the state-run New Light of Myanmar on 23 October, 531 houses in six villages in Minbya Township and 508 houses in two villages in Mrauk-U Township were burnt down. Many say the real number of casualties could be much higher.
The Rohingya, a persecuted Muslim minority of 800,000, unrecognized as citizens by the Burmese government, have long faced persecution and discrimination in Myanmar.
Ethnic and religious tensions have prompted thousands to flee, mostly to neighbouring Bangladesh.
Fresh violence
This week's violence follows major troubles in June when more than 90,000 residents, mostly Rohingya Muslims, were displaced after the alleged rape and murder of a Rakhine woman by a group of Muslim men in May. At least 78 people were killed and more than 4,800 homes and buildings were destroyed in the May violence.
Currently some 75,000 are displaced in Rakhine. They are living in 40 camps and temporary locations in Sittwe (capital of Rakhine State) and Kyauktaw. Most are Rohingya in nine overcrowded camps in Sittwe, separated from the rest of the community due to security concerns.
Camp conditions are poor, with many not meeting international Sphere standards (best practice in food aid, nutrition, health, water and sanitation and emergency shelter provision), say aid workers on the ground.
There are indications that some displacement may also be taking place between villages. However, only a few affected villages can be reached at the moment, said the latest humanitarian bulletin from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Humanitarian partners are currently working with the authorities to identify individuals in need, and are doing their utmost to provide assistance.
More than 20 UN agencies and international NGOs are currently working in Sittwe. Food, non-food, health, education, water and sanitation are urgent needs, they say.
Humanitarian and development assistance programmes in the area were interrupted from June to September during the monsoon. The area sees the highest incidence of malnutrition and health problems - a critical issue that needs addressing beyond the needs of existing camps, say aid workers.
In late September, some partners, including the World Food Programme, the UN Refugee Agency and some NGOs managed to resume some of their activities, but it is unclear how the latest violence will affect operations.
Residents describe the current situation as "fluid" with police deploying reinforcements in the townships of Minbya and Mrauk-U where curfews are in effect.
Humanitarian imperative
Aid workers have been issuing warnings: "It's just going from bad to worse," said one aid worker on the ground, who asked not to be identified. "I just don't think people know what is happening here. The message is just not getting out."
Under the Rakhine Response Plan - an inter-agency strategy launched in July to provide assistance for some 80,000 people affected by the crisis until the end of the year - just US$14.9 million of the $32.5 million requested has been disbursed or pledged.
Of this, $4.8 million came from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), set up in 2005 to provide more timely humanitarian assistance to those affected by natural disaster and armed conflict.
"I really don't think donors know how serious the issue is… The reality of donors not doing enough is just making the suffering of these people worse. The humanitarian imperative to deliver life-saving assistance has never been greater. The time to act is now," the aid worker said.

Well hell, either nobody carries a first aid kit or aren't interested. Or maybe couldn't make it all the way through my post ???
Hey all,
I've been kickin this around my head since Sat. after about slicing my thumb off skinning my antelope. I will for sure cut myself at least once on every animal I take care of. Well I had the antelope hanging and was caping it out. You know the spot that is always hard to get of on the chest ? I was pulling down hard and ran the knife between the hide and meat and sliced right the the hide across the top of my thumb on side of knuckle about an inch and a quarter long. I was pissed and it was flowing . I grabbed paper towels and rapped around it. It wouldn't stop. I knew it was a fairly bad cut but tried to ignore it. I got the head and cape off and before I started to brake down the carcass I said I'm going to get same big band aids and surgical tape to put on it. I went to my pack and my trusty kit was not there. I had left it home. First time since 1988 when I back packed into Cedar Breaks Wilderness in Ut. by myself and shot a buck first day. I boned it all out and went to saw off the antlers and I had forgot my pack saw. Can't blame age/memory on that time. I had a brand new knife so I thought well, I'll just stab the skull to make a hole ( no, not yet...) and then just work my knife back and forth to cut it off. Well it worked eventually. I had all meat loaded in my pack ready to go. Well there was this little piece of meat hanging from the hide on the skull plate. I just had to take that off. I grabbed on the wet piece of meat with my left hand and wacked it with knife and right across the top knuckle on my baby finger like butter. The end of my finger was hanging down and I couldn't move it. Figured I had severed my tendon. I wrapped toilet paper around it because didn't even have a bandaid let alone a first aid kit. Threw on my pack and hiked out about 3 mi.. got back to truck and washed it out and wrapped a towel around it and drove back home 8 hrs.. Next day I called around and both orthapedic surgeons were not in town. The one was going to be back next day. Went to him and he says I can't sew it up because it's been 2 days. I said huh ? BS. Fix it. He asked do you use your hands for a living ? I said doesn't everybody ? I'm a phone tech. He said ok. He stuck the novocain needle right into the middle of it and I came unglued ! Then it got numb...He sewed the tendon back together and sewed up the cut. I told him I'm leaving tonight to back pack in 6 mi. up top near Mt. San Gorgonio to meet my friend who was expecting me yesterday. He gave me a splint for finger and said bring me back some deer meat. Walked all night and found friend bout 10 pm. I kicked his tent. He said where you been. I said move over, I'll tell you in the morning. Okay, back to topic. Since then I've made and added to my military first aid kit. I've acquired fish hook sewing needle and thread sewing kits (remember the story about falling of a Cliff at night while hunting in Co. ? I used a regular needle and thread but I had it). I have surgical tweezer's (awesome),hemastat, surgical scissor's , fire starter, magnafying glass,space blanlet,lighters, matches, chapstick,sugical razor's,a pen, a pencil,allen wrench for scope mounts,aspiren, pain killers,surgical tape,crazy glue (very important you will see),iodine, neosporne,and much more, all in a pack that is about 5x5x2 in. weighes maybe 12 ounces. I guess it pays to work in two hospital's and have doctor's and surgeon's as friends... So back to last Sat.. I didn't bring my first aid kit. I was mad at myself to say the least. I found some surgical tape and 2 bandaid's in my truck. I put the bandaid's on but was to wet/bleeding to stick. I wrapped the tape around it a few times and said so be it. Kept paper towel over that. Eventually it stopped bleeding. Cut up carcass and loaded everthing up and went to town. Went in little store and found some crazy glue. Washed and dried my thumb and pinched cut together and glued it. Wrapped surgical tape around it again and was good for drive home. I know I cut nerves and maybe part way into tendon because It's numb and can bend only a little . Good to go though. I have more stiches in my body than an old couch !
So, I'd like to hear from other's what they carry in their "back pack" for first aid and any good stories too since you had to suffer through another novel of mine...

Well hell, either nobody carries a first aid kit or aren't interested. Or maybe couldn't make it all the way through my post ???
I did fall asleep once on the way through the post.. Haha just kidding Don!
I'm bad, as clumsy as I am, I don't carry a first aid kit. I do have some sweet camo bandaids in my camper though. I have a couple first aid kits given to me for like Christmas gifts and such but never carry them. I usually carry a little baggy of excedrin because I get migrains and then I just want to shoot everything and everyone.. I just carry my SPOT, that way I can just call for help if I break a leg or something. I'm pretty used to hurting myself so It usually doesn't phase me much. If I didn't come out cut up, bleeding and in pain after a day of hunting, I would be surprised.
I guess nobody else gets hurt either. You should at least carry the min.. All it takes is one time. Then , you may know what else to carry...I've hunted with guy's who never even carried a bandaid and I always had to play doctor . Common sense. Are you pretty used severing tendons and cuts and slices too big for bandaids ? LOL ! Okay mtn. mama huntress. Guess I'm a woosey !

I carry a small first aid kit with me at all times. As well as fire starter supplies in case I get lost. I just purchased a 4 person med kit and would have bought the 7 person but they were out. I guess I have only cut myself once on a deer but it barely bled. I cant imagine what I would do if I got cut badly. I knew a few people who were field dressing their animals and cut their artery in their legs and died from it. So I would rather be prepared.
I stabbed myself in the elbow the other day when trying to open a package... I'm used to cutting myself
I do carry waterproof matches! Only because I got lost once in a bad rain and then snow storm and couldn't build a fire and was extremely cold...
Guess maybe I just need to go hunting with you so you can play doctor to me!
Note to Don and Jen-Maybe you should try some of those stainless steel fish cleaning gloves! (LOL)
Anyhow, I carry a roll of stainless steel surgical wire, wind proof lighter, extra bootlaces, nail clipper, and strobe light, in addition to a supply of non-latex gloves (which I also wear while dressing game). Another good item when carrying a bigger pack is a Sam Splint for a broken or badly sprained wrist. Be sure to include a few knuckle bandages and fingertip bandages. I have recently added a small pack of anti-coagulant. I keep a first aid kit in each vehicle, and in each pack. A small bottle of Purel etc. is useful to clean and disinfect wounds, as well as sanitizing your hands.

1970 saw the World Expo held in Osaka. Expo '70 was a showcase for world culture and innovation, which brought the latest in technology, design and architecture to the Japanese city.
It was one of the most popular films there, both for its spectacular three-screen image and triple track sound techniques, and for its equally engaging content.
Produced by the National Film Unit and directed by Hugh Macdonald, the film was technically ambitious and visually rich.
In 1971, after the special projection equipment used to show This is New Zealand was shipped back from Japan, and cinemas in each of the four main centres were specially modified to hold it, the film ran for nine months across the four cities, with over 400,000 people seeing it at the time.
It was a national sensation!
In 2006 Park Road Post Production created a high-quality standard cinema wide-screen anamorphic 35mm print of This is New Zealand. This kept the three-screen format of the original but could be screened in any contemporary large-screen cinema. This version was screened at the New Zealand International Film Festival in 2007, and also at the New York Festivals, where it won a bronze award in the multi-screen category, although competing with the latest film styles and technologies.
In 2009 Hugh began working with Archives New Zealand (the current owner of the film) to produce a DVD containing a re-mastered version of This is New Zealand along with a 60 minute documentary on the making of the film and its restoration nearly four decades later.
Hugh was recently interviewed by Kim Hill at Radio New Zealand where they discussed the DVD redux, the film's fantastic music and soundtrack, the impact the film had on the nation and the special place this film holds in New Zealand's cultural heritage. Listen to the Radio New Zealand interview.
For more information about Hugh and to buy your own copy of This is New Zealand, please visit Hugh's website.
Account manager Chris Mahoney has long since wanted to see This is New Zealand after missing it at the New Zealand International Film Festival in 2007.
Learning at that time that a DVD release was imminent, Chris contacted Archives New Zealand in 2009 to find out more. After e-mailing for some years Chris was finally contacted by Archives to see if Mission Hall would be interested in designing the DVD redux packaging. A meeting was set up with Hugh and a close relationship was formed with the director to produce a design befitting this beautiful film.
Chris and Norris emanate a quiet empathy for and insight into their clients' requirements. They abstain from hyperbole and overstatement and in so doing get to the core what is required in good visual communications and design. In our case, with their work on the DVD release of This is New Zealand, the end result has been nothing short of stunning and has attracted much favourable comment.
Q&A with Damien Fenton featured in the DomPost
Mike Crean's review featured in the DomPost
Hundreds of hours of design time went into 'New Zealand and the First World War, 1914–1919' – a substantial and compelling book which encapsulates the history of New Zealand's involvement in WW1.
Saturated in imagery and information, the book will serve as a resource to stand repeated viewing and allow readers to discover something new each time they open it.
The book can be approached on a number of levels so people of all ages and stages of knowledge can easily access the material contained.
The photography is balanced with the substantive text. Select images have been enlarged and allowed to bleed off the page to bring readers in closer to the scenes portrayed. Soft edges on images and text wrapping are used to flow the content together. Pockets containing cards, letters and maps enable an immersive, 3D scrapbook-like, experience.
Working closely with Penguin Books NZ, Mission Hall designed and set out the entire book, ephemera and coverslip, selecting typefaces, graphic frames and page elements to help the book 'belong to' and feel authentic to the Art Nouveau period of WWI.
The approach to the complex layout process began with rough layouts to allow the author; editor and publisher get a feel for the placement of images and fit of the text, which would allow quick and agile changes. The process took more than five months with subsequent rounds of refinement, managed competently and efficiently by Mission Hall's project management team, headed by Sam Ogden.
"It was great honour to work on this wonderful publication, which will be a focus for the Centenary of Remembrance for WW1. I really enjoyed being able to immerse myself in this fascinating and pivotal part of our history." Senior Designer, Norris Childs, Mission Hall
"Mission Hall displayed extraordinary creativity and unerring commitment throughout what became an extremely involved project. They went over and above to produce an immaculate publication – one that not just delivered on the brief, but exceeded it. We at Penguin could not be more thrilled with the end result." Commissioning Editor, Non-fiction, Jeremy Sherlock, Penguin Books NZ
Peter Farrell is not the first person to discover he is illegitimate, but few have been brave enough to provide such an illuminating account of the events that led to the search for a parent.
This rich and compelling memoir reveals a surprising personal history behind an apparently conventional life. Through Peter's mother Marion, we are taken from an East End munitions factory in the First World War and a 1920s mental health institution to the bohemian free school movement, and we learn what sacrifices a mother can make for her child. Peter's own life experiences are forged on a childhood of institutional living with little concept of normal family life. As a new immigrant sent to work on a remote prison farm in New Zealand, it takes Peter many years and encounters to finally understand what Māori mean by the word 'whānau'. The Lie That Settles is a powerful story of loss, love and survival spanning nine decades and two continents.
Listen to Peter's interview with Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon here.
Read the Unity Books launch article here.
Read Beattie's Book Blog launch article here.
"The Lie that Settles is an excellent read. It tells the tale of Peter Farrell's triumphs and struggles during his extraordinary life. The design of the book had to reflect this incredible story.
To create a timeless, easy to read layout for the text I used Adobe Garamond, one of the many early typefaces renowned for its use in book publications. Visually engaging chapter numeric numbers help create a striking elegancy and simplicity, while the chapter headings are done in capitals to give them importance.
The book is divided into three parts with an image that heralds and encapsulates each section.
By placing the other images and family photos throughout the book relative to the narrative, the reader is able to engage visually with the account and give an intimacy into the story being told.
I wanted the cover to speak to the audience and capture the essence of the story being told. Upon reading the book I discovered there was an air of the unknown and mystery surrounding Peter's life. The image of Peter on his bike, in a park or driveway, is a lovely image of a young boy on his way, setting off on his life journey, which I feel captures the book perfectly."
Rebecca Horrocks, designer
Another great book design collaboration between Te Papa Press and Mission Hall, the rich content and stunning photography make it hard to put down.
Based on the popular TV mini-documentaries,100 Amazing Tales from Aotearoa gives insights into some of the most exceptional, historic and bizarre objects Te Papa Tongarewa houses.
Twelve months in the making, this beautiful book takes pride of place in our bookshelf and makes a wonderful gift.
We're proud to support ETERNITY by providing the design for the title, graphics, website, PR booklet and posters.
The complete list of nominations can be viewed at the NZ Film Commission website. The Awards will be presented in Auckland on December 10 and streamed live at The New Zealand Herald.
Filmed in New Zealand and Hong Kong, this second feature from director Alex Galvin is both visually stunning and epic in scope. To date the film has received five international film festival selections.
Set in the near future, a police detective, Richard Manning, is taking part in a futuristic computer game investigating the most difficult case of his career: the seemingly impossible locked room murder of a wealthy property investor. The more he investigates, the more complex the case seems to become. Richard begins to realize that there is far more going on than just one mystery, and his own future is at stake. His only chance to escape the game depends on him solving everything – and quickly.
We think it's blooming terrific that Raumati South primary school has been selected to compete against adult's gardens at Ellerslie International Flower Show. Raumati South's enviroschool's garden features a bicycle driven water pump, a pizza oven and an African keyhole garden.
After the competition the garden will be gifted to Wharenui School in Christchurch – an enviroschool without a garden. We're proud to help the garden grow, by providing the design elements and help raise funds to make it possible.
We were delighted to be invited to design the first Trade Me Annual Report.
The brief was to produce a companion document to the initial public share offering document, one which was accessible and easily navigated. The design followed the initial public share offering document and included desktop and mobile websites and a printed document.
Our work encompassed document design and layout, design and advice on web architecture, management of illustrations and print.

Building on the success of previous campaigns aimed at 'consumers' to encourage corporate sponsorship to enable the campaign to continue by raising $100,000. As in previous years there is a significant participation from third parties who fundraise at a community level.
The advertising objectives include inspiring a movement using the ribbon as a symbol of commitment and social change. The campaign must support all the initiatives in place, it must be integrated and connect emotionally with audiences and stakeholders.
We developed a print media campaign to run nationally. The imagery uses strong, heroic portraits of men who are already White Ribbon ambassadors. These men must make a commitment to the cause and be vetted as to their integrity and suitability. They come from very different backgrounds in order to appeal to the diverse audiences – the idea being that violence occurs across the society. We developed the line ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO STOP VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN? Supported by ACT, JOIN, DONATE to engage participation and provide a call to action. We enabled the creative to be used seamlessly and cost-effectively across multiple platforms such as adshels, posters, websites and Facebook. Updated White Ribbon Ride poster for motorcycle groups - the Patriots and Te Ahi Kikoha – whose routes span New Zealand from Bream Bay to Bluff.
The White Ribbon campaigners have reported a rise in reports of domestic violence. Ambassador numbers are up from 1 in 2009 to 49 in 2012. Community events are up from 89 in 2009 to 197 in 2011. Website hits are up 30,188 in 2009 to 58,910 in 2011. Awareness of the brand White Ribbon is at 45%. 2012 TBA.
Freshly launched Clean Tech Trust NZ is building an innovative economy by investing in clean technology.
By attracting and providing co-investment funding for commercial scale clean technology projects the Trust's shared services include skill-matching, scale up technology support, on park and onshore engineering, offshore manufacturing channels, market assessment and validation and communication technology.
They also have the all-important profile-building marketing, packaging and IP protection expertise at hand to promote growth, sales, export and manufacturing. We designed their identity, website and will continue to provide collateral and partner with their eco-innovators when it comes to marketing their products.

The White Ribbon Campaign is the first male-led campaign to end violence against women in the world. It encourages men to take a stand and say that violence, in any form, is never acceptable.
In December 1999, the 54th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 54/134 declaring November 25 the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Since then the White Ribbon Campaign has spread to countries on every continent.
The Families Commission has been instrumental in running the very successful New Zealand campaign. The Families Commission's vision is to end family violence. White Ribbon offers men the opportunity to lead the change and reject violence in our society.
Mission Hall has been responsible for the design and messaging for the White Ribbon campaign since 2005 when the Families Commission introduced the world-wide campaign to New Zealand.
The campaign has grown with the distribution of more than 500,000 white ribbons, adshels, posters, teeshirts, stickers and other collateral. Around 100 public events are held in November, including the White Ribbon Motorcycle Ride and there is year-round support in communities throughout New Zealand.
Wearing a white ribbon is a personal pledge that the wearer does not excuse violence against women, and is committed to supporting community action to stop violence by men against women.
Mission Hall is proud to support the campaign to end family violence.

Mission Hall is profiled in the May/June issue of New Zealand Marketing Magazine.
Special Group is just starting out on its journey as an independent agency. And this journey is one that full-service in-house design agency Mission Hall knows all about. The founding ideals of the Wellington company, which is celebrating its 21st birthday this year, were simple: be loft dwelling commercial artists, indulge their penchant for funk and wear fingerless gloves. It still retains these core values, but with slightly more appreciation of the commercial realities involved in the creative arts.
Like Special Group, the three founding partners had worked for bigger agencies but wanted to move in a different direction rather than continue to be designers in 'the machine'.
"There weren't a whole lot of small design agencies around 21 years ago. You were either a big fish or a freelancer," says the only remaining founding partner, Eion Abernethy. "Through the 90s it has become a lot more populated with people starting out."
The agency, which has a client list that includes the Families Commission, Maritime New Zealand and Tohu Wines, even lays claim to being one of the first companies in the country to own an Apple Mac, an SE30, which cost a whopping $9,483.76 in 1989. The changes in technology have done wonders for widening the creative scope of design, says Abernethy, and being able to manipulate, tweak and change images through a design or creative process is an amazing achievement.
"To be that hands-on with technology is a super-amazing thing compared to 20 years ago. You didn't really have the flexibility or ability to craft a piece of work right through to the end point, which is what we're able to do now."
Technology aside, one thing you won't find changing is Mission Hall's focus on remaining small.
"What I find stimulating is working with a really great, small group of people that create really good ideas and get really good outcomes, without necessarily being an empire builder. I've always wanted to be independent," he says. And proving that after 21 years Mission Hall is still at the top of its game, it has recently been nominated for a creative gold in the Wellington Region Gold Awards, which have previously been won by companies like Icebreaker, Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, Kiwibank, Te Papa, phil&teds and Sidhe Interactive.

The sky's the limit for two of the country's most experienced producers, Nikki Walker and Mary Wall. Together they have more than 40 years experience in getting film and television productions off the ground. They have just formed what will be New Zealand's sharpest line producing company.
TWO BIRDS' first project is a job for Mercedes Benz China, for BBDO Beijing. Directed by Sng Tong Beng through Window Productions, Sydney, it will be shot in Zurich and in Queenstown.
"Our team has an unparalleled reputation for delivery, both in New Zealand and internationally – our knowledge about our beautiful, unique, varied locations and their close proximities mean we can offer really cost-effective options for any shoot," says Mary.
"Overseas clients take advantage of fluctuating exchange rates and the convenience of opposite seasons. Our pecking order ensures clear lines of communication throughout the project," says Nikki.
TWO BIRDS believe that while they have great relationships with New Zealand directors they want to spread their wings and offer their services to a wider audience.
They are hoping to attract more business from overseas as well as here in New Zealand with a charming and engaging website designed by Mission Hall Creative.
"The TWO BIRDS site is one we are very proud to be involved with. To successfully convey the wealth of knowledge and skills these two very skilled producers offer will be an ongoing project, with plenty of great new stories to tell as their business takes off," say designer, Mike Greenfield, and account manager, Chris Mahoney.

Mission Hall client Fiona Campbell, Director of the Real Art Roadshow received an Honourable Mention in the Arts and Entertainment category of North & South's New Zealander of the Year.
From North & South, January 2010
Throughout the past 12 months, the North & South selection panel of writers and key contributors has been on the look-out for New Zealanders who've made this year theirs. From these, true local hero's emerge.
The recent publication of Real Art Roadshow: The Book (Craig Potton Publishing) marks the success of a mobile art project that has toured works by leading Kiwi artists to over 200 schools nationwide since 2007 – satisfyingly defying the Ministry of Education bureaucrats who initially pooh-poohed the fully funded initiative. Inspired by her fond memory of a school visit from New Zealand Symphony Orchestra percussionist Gary Brain, art curator Fiona Campbell personally funded the Real Art Roadshow so our senior school students could gain an appreciation of art from seeing the real thing, rather than a reproduction in a book or on a website. Each of two purpose built trucks converts into a 78sq m art gallery, showcasing the hand-picked collections of 126 post-1945 paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, jewellery and ceramic art. There are also engaging educational resources to accompany the show. The cost to schools? Exactly nothing.
For information about the Real Art Roadshow visit www.realartroadshow.co.nz
Fiona was also the recipient of the National Business Review Supreme Award. Read more…
Fiona Campbell, New Zealand's youngest major arts philanthropist and director of the Real Art Roadshow, has won the Supreme Award at the 12th National Business Review's Sponsorship of the Arts Awards.
The Real Art Roadshow visits schools for free and comprises one of New Zealand's largest traveling art exhibitions. The exhibition is housed in two huge trucks that each unfold to form two 78 square metre 'galleries'. Each 'gallery' displays over 60 pieces of original art by a cross-section of established and emerging New Zealand artists, including Don Binney, Seung Yul Oh, Robyn Kahukiwa, Pat Hanly and Fiona Pardington.
"It's a huge honour to receive the Supreme Award and also great recognition for the artists involved. I'd really like to thank the National Business Review for acknowledging the work we've done so far. With more sponsorship and corporate involvement the Real Art Roadshow could do even more," said Fiona Campbell.
The two collections of outstanding New Zealand art have toured over 200 secondary schools nationwide during 2008 and 2009 and were open to the public during school holidays – with over 100,000 visitors in all. Real Art Roadshow will continue touring for the next eight years.
"This is a visionary project not only in its inception but in the way that it allows for other sponsors to become involved in a local, regional or national capacity," said NBR Arts writer and judge convener, John Daly-Peoples.
A major part of the initiative is Real Art Roadshow: The Book which tells how and why Fiona came up with the concept of the Real Art Roadshow. With a foreword written by Hamish Keith, it contains full colour plates of all works in the collection and is accompanied by accessible, insightful essays. This is available for purchase on the Real Art Roadshow website and at selected bookstores.
Fiona believes it is important that the Real Art Roadshow engages, stimulates and inspires, teachers and students alike, as many students in remote areas have never been to an art gallery.
"Access to real art adds a completely new dimension for many students by giving them the opportunity to experience the scale of the works, their colour, texture and detail," said Fiona. "I'm incredibly passionate about all young New Zealander's seeing our great art. School students are tomorrow's artists, viewers and collectors," she said.

Seeing potential on his backdoor step, Brendon King (VMax), launched into promoting local artist Troy Hunt – an up and coming musician from Kapiti.
Using local talent including photographer Paddy Riley, we've designed two limited release promotional CD's of Troy's fresh recordings; and webpage.
Not shy of supporting NZ music, Wellingtonians have been clambering to get copies of the limited edition CD, and with live performances booked in for summer, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Troy Hunt.
Linda Niccol is making a splash with her new short story collection – The Temperature of Water. Launched at Thorndon Pool, this is Linda's second book of tantalising short stories to accompany Geometry of Desire, her first short story collection.
A successful collaboration between Mission Hall (production), Alistair Lang (cover design) and publisher, Silver Owl Press, The Temperature of Water is sure to make waves in bookstores near you.
"…I think this is CK Stead's literary god-daughter. One of the things I like about Linda's writing is you are propelled forward – there's always tension in her writing." David McGill, Silver Owl Press
"The title story is short and exquisite. It is about one of those relationships that exclude the rest of the world and both of the partners feel that the other one is perfect. To her credit, Niccol does not kill off these fantasy characters when she has the chance and leaves us to believe that this kind of love affair is possible." Sophie Fern, Otago Daily Times, 17 December 2005
"They're fearless stories too. Niccol takes risks with style, allusion and structure, and mostly it works. There's a rueful, razory humour: meet Brian the regressive number-plate collector; Ollie and Claudia the city sophisticates out of their depth with a possum." David Hill, Listener 18 February 2006
"Anyone reading the title of this book and looking for something a bit sexy will be disappointed. But they shouldn't be. The Geometry of Desire is a collection of short stories about relationships and is at times poignantly and exquisitely tender. At other times Linda Niccol is clever and funny. Through her stories I think Niccol is exploring the meaning of love and incredibly enough she, through her well thought out and very 'normal' characters, actually comes up with some answers." Mayor Bob Harvey, Waitakere City Council website, 13 April 2006
We helped capture the life and times of Katherine Mansfield's Thorndon by designing promotional material for a new exhibition curated by The Katherine Mansfield Birthplace Society.
Among the material was a specially published short story – The Wind Blows – and a set of postcards that uses images from the exhibition encased in packaging inspired by an ornate wallpaper design from the house. We also designed and typeset the text component of the exhibition now on display.
The postcards are for sale at Katherine Mansfield Birthplace, 25 Tinakori Street, Wellington.
Building on the success of past White Ribbon Day campaigns, we've created an even stronger brand and message that family violence (or any violence) is not acceptable in our society.
One-in-three women will be subjected to violence at some point in their life. Most of this violence will take place in the home. No family violence is acceptable and this year's White Ribbon Day campaign focuses on the united front by men from all walks of life. Steve Logan is one of the men lending their support (and face) for the campaign and says "a real man's role is to take care of his family".
"… thank you to everyone at Mission Hall for pulling out all the stops and once again helping make sure the campaign was a success. We couldn't possibly do it without you!" Karlum Lattimore, Families Commission
According to Chinese legend good dragons represent the aspirations of inspiration, wisdom, strength and good luck, all attributes Mission Hall likes to harness in our work. The dragon is also a sentinel, which warns off evil spirits, so we now feel safe in Kaiwharawhara Road with our new building tattoo.
The dragon, constructed from our halo mark, not only shows how far you can push a brand, it links to where the name Mission Hall originated; the Te Aro Chinese Mission Hall from which our founders set up in 1989.
You will notice our dragon doesn't have five claws, it's an 'ordinary' dragon, as legend also says the emperor would order the death of anyone caught inscribing the five clawed dragon without permission – we thought it prudent not to infringe that copyright.
The dragon gets around too – you'll see it on our corporate vehicle.

Tower of Power is a Wind Energy-Generating Skyscraper for Taiwan
Inspiration for the Taiwan tower's design came from woven bamboo or bamboo scaffolding – a meshed exterior encases all the programmatic elements. The weaving of the structure creates an intricate pattern and a series of voids that offer views of the city.

Dear Editor:
Is there a future for me in New York?
I run varsity cross country and track for Onteora High School, where I'm a junior. This fall I'm honored that the Freeman has covered my championship win at the Mid-Hudson Athletic League, my third-place finish at States, and has twice declared me Female Athlete of the Week!
As a runner, the certainty of air pollution makes me greatly concerned that Gov. Cuomo will allow fracking in New York.
I read up on some of the science relating to air pollution for a comment I recently submitted to the Department of Environmental Conservation on draft fracking regulation. I submitted a comment as part of a "30 Comments in 30 Days" initiative by renowned environmental health expert, Dr. Sandra Steingraber.
Under a clause called "operational requirements," gas companies are essentially able to release gases whenever they think it is necessary, or perhaps convenient. Although the DEC does not know for certain what gases can escape, scientists have a fair idea. The gas contains a variety of vaporous hydrocarbons, including butane, ethane, benzene, toluene, xylene and others.
Of these, benzene is a known carcinogen. Evidence suggests the same is true for toluene and xylene.
To make matters worse, ground-level ozone is created when these volatile chemicals combine with tailpipe exhaust. Ground-level ozone, or smog, is linked to negative lung effects, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure.
Few places have more tailpipe exhaust than fracking sites. The DEC estimates that each fracking well requires 6,790 industrial truck trips. Most of those trips come from diesel trucks. This summer, the World Health Organization declared that diesel fumes cause cancer, more so than secondhand cigarette smoke.
This leads me back to my question, which is directed at Gov. Cuomo: Will I have a future in New York?
Next fall I will apply to colleges, where I intend to run competitively. In fact, I've already been approached by more than a dozen New York colleges as an athlete, including SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo and Cornell University.
I don't want to be forced to leave New York, and my family who lives here, but I cannot run with a carcinogenic cocktail filling my lungs and coursing through my blood with each breath I take.

Mall Looking to Fill Void Left by Levin
January 10, 2013
The Cafaro Co. — owner of the Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville — is seeking a long-term tenant to fill the Levin Furniture spo....
The mall needs a major sporting goods outlet there. A Bass Pro shop would fabulous and don't think they would not locate there because of Cabelas, as Gander located close to Cabelas purposefully. Bass Pro stores are worthy competitors to Cabelas and truly are much better for anglers and boaters as well as hunting. The Dunham sportings goods store are big as well. They are a pretty big chain and carry all kinds of sportings goods including hunting, firearms, boating, fishing along with weights, running, golf,etc. We really don't have a large sporting goods store in this area. That would jump start the mall, particularly a BassPro. Gander knows that if people will drive distances for Cabelas they will also shop other sporting goods stores in the area. That space is big enough for such a store. I like the mall, I like not having to drive around to each store, I hope they hit a home run with this opportunity.

Homes wrecked, dozen hurt in Mississippi tornado
HATTIESBURG, Miss. Residents shaken by a tornado that mangled homes in Mississippi were waking up Monday to a day of removing trees, patching roofs and giving thanks for their survival. More than a dozen in the state were injured.
Daylight also offered emergency management officials the chance to get a better handle on the damage that stretched across several counties. Gov. Phil Bryant planned to visit hard-hit Hattiesburg, where a twister moved along one of the city's main streets and damaged buildings at the governor's alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi. Emergency officials said late Sunday that at least 10 people were injured in surrounding Forrest County and three were hurt to the west in Marion County, but they weren't aware of any deaths.
It was raining at first light Monday and people began trying to salvage what they could in one damaged neighborhood. Some people walked around fallen trees, power lines, smashed cars and other debris to carry belongings away.
Charlotte Walters, 61, and her daughter Heather Walters, 30, were moving buckets and bowls around inside their house trying to catch water pouring through holes in the roof. The women were at home along with Charlotte's husband when a relative called and said a tornado was headed their way.
"It sounded like Katrina," said Charlotte Walters, who lives in a neighborhood also hit by the 2005 hurricane that devastated the Gulf Coast.
Besides holes in the roof of her one-story wood frame house, a falling tree had damaged the side and another one collapsed on her carport, denting and breaking windows in three cars there.
"I'm blessed. At least I don't have one of those in my house," Charlotte said, pointing to a tree that had fallen onto a neighbor's house next door.
Marie Key, 68, was hoping to salvage what she could Monday morning. She was alone in her one-story brick house when the storm hit Sunday. She heard the tornado coming and dove under a kitchen table.
At least three trees hit her house, which she said was also damaged during Hurricane Katrina and another storm in 1998. The fallen trees blocked the front and back doors and a neighbor had to pull the limbs away so she could get out. She had a bruised forehead Monday and some other scratches but was otherwise uninjured.
"I'm luck, I know that," Key said fighting back tears as she spoke. "I'm kind of past the `poor me' part of it. This is so widespread and it's happening in so many places. I'm going to be all right."
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said it appears a single tornado caused the damage in Forrest, Marion and Lamar counties. Hundreds of homes are damaged in Forrest County, along with a couple dozen in the other two.
Flynn said the sheer scope of the damage was slowing officials' assessment.
"The problem is, it was so strong that there's so much debris that there's a lot of areas they haven't been able to get to yet," he said.
On campus, trees were snapped in half around the heavily damaged Alumni House where part of the roof was ripped away. Windows in a nearby building were blown out, and heavy equipment worked to clear streets nearby in a heavy rain after the worst of the weather had passed.
The university released a statement saying no one was hurt but that it was under a state of emergency, and anyone away from campus should stay away until further notice.
East of campus, 47-year-old Cindy Bullock was at home with her husband and dog when she heard the tornado coming. They ran to a hallway and covered their heads. It wasn't long before the windows in the kitchen and bedroom exploded. The storm stripped all the shingles off the roof and left holes in it, while knocking over a large pine tree in the yard.

While we never know what challenges might lie ahead for our own community, we must hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. The City has recently launched a new Emergency Management twitter feed @CarrolltonEM. This account will be used ONLY for emergency management preparedness and safety announcements. It is primarily expected to be used for weather emergencies, as a means of explaining why and when our outdoor warning sirens may be sounding. The sirens are tested the first Wednesday of every month at 1 pm. and are sounded when there is an immediate danger from tornado warning, national security threat, or environmental hazard/threat. If you hear a siren, go indoors and take cover.
Times like these also remind us to emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity to the proper local law enforcement authorities, in the proper manner. Download the free tip411 app for iPhone and Android. Or text CARROLLTONPD and your message to 847411 (tip411) to submit an anonymous tip.

- " It's an interesting place, since it's set up more closely to a traditional Chinese house than the average hostel. While I hung out in the common room, a Chinese family gathered together to eat dinner and watch TV. It was interesting. Good location and reasonably priced. "
- 29 Jan 2014 Michael USA
- " The location is good, but its difficult to tell something else valuable. Very poor condition of facility. The bed sheets are clean. The staff are not mean and can offer your the traffic info, but don't expect it with smiles. The owner defenitely need renovate everything. Things are falling apart. "

ohmygosh that's so creative!!!
I don't know if the shapes have to be precise or not, but I can see them fine.
And... there ARE nearly-perfect shapes in the real world.
From the heart nebula:
to square trees:
to perfectly round lakes/islands:
So... no, I don't see a problem with the round boulder.
If it rolled slowly, over mossy ground, and found a soft-ish landing, I could buy it as possible - though improbable.
If it were for a children's fantasy story - it'd be perfectly normal
It's not up to me, but if it were, I'd say go for it.
PS: Does that tree make anyone else want to play minecraft? maybe with a case of mountain dew and 20 bags of doritos?

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Rigid Seatposts in stock than that.View Similar Products
3T Doric Team Seatpost $0.00
Seat posts are more important than mere team gear. We've noticed that pros often seem to forsake their sponsor's seat post for one of their own choosing. We don't know why this is, but close inspection has revealed that Campagnolo and Shimano posts don't seem to get on that many pro bikes.
We bring this matter up because 3T has come up with an light seat post -- the kind of post you might want to use regardless of team sponsor commitments. It's called the Doric Team seatpost, and it weighs a mere 175g. Named for the Greek style of column, it is supposed to stand the test of time; your time in the saddle.
Like a Doric column, the Doric seat post doesn't have a base. The post also is not fluted like a traditional Doric column. It does have a capital, which is where the shaft of the post meets the clamp. 3T calls this section of the post a "carrier." It is made of aluminum.
The two-bolt clamp is great for nosing your saddle at exactly the right up/down position. We don't understand why in this modern age, some seat posts have serrated clamps that limit your ability to precisely adjust the saddle angle. The clamp has both a front bolt and a rear bolt and if the nose is too low, all you have to do is slightly back out the front bolt and slightly tighten the rear bolt.
Note that this seat post has zero setback. If you currently ride a seat post with setback, and your seat is pushed back on the post, you might not be able to get the position you want with this post. An easy way to check is to visualize where the clamp would grab your seat rails if your current setback post didn't have the curve.
The 3T Doric Team seat post is made with a carbon fiber shaft and 7075 aluminum cap and cradle. It is available in two diameters, 27.2 and 31.6mm. The color is clear-coat carbon with a Red stripe.

Have used this for a few years now and love it -- except, to adjust the angle on the road (how else could you get a comfortable seat angle) you need to bring along an allen wrench that will work with the very tight (near zero) tolerance between the front bolt and post
Would one of these seat posts work for the...
Would one of these seat posts work for the Ridley Icarus bike you have on clearance right now?

@rubberbandito - if you do decide to get a rack for your Nova, I recommend Planet Bikes' Versarack:
The Dahon Traveller Rack looks nice but I don't think it is compatible with the Downtubes. I know for a fact that the Versarack will fit since my friend has it on his Downtube. If you look at the close up pic of the Versarack, you'll see it has a lot of adjustability.
