A letter from the Labour leader to immigration officials on
behalf of Liu was first revealed by
the Herald after documents were released under the
Official Information Act earlier today.
Mr Cunliffe - who said this week he had never met Donghua Liu
or advocated on his behalf - told reporters he did not recall
writing the letter.
He said that "I have not lied about anything to do with Mr
Liu", and he would not resign.
"I did not advocate for him. A letter has just come to my
attention which is eleven years old. I simply asked how long
a processing process would take."
Mr Cunliffe said he still had no recollection of meeting Mr
"I simply do not recall ever having met him.
"To the best of my knowledge that letter came through my
office and an immigration agent on his behalf."
Mr Cunliffe said he wrote the letter, "because it checked out
on paper and it was a very low level request about how long
the processing would take."
He believed he was still fit to lead the Labour Party and he
had not checked as to whether he retained the support of his
caucus, "because I don't believe that's necessary".
"I do not believe I have done anything wrong."
He said the situation differed from former National
Government Minister Maurice Williamson's intervention with
police on behalf of Mr Liu in that "Mr Williamson was guilty
of intervening directly in a police operational matter".
As far as his letter on behalf of Mr Liu, "MPs do this all
the time in respect of immigration cases, they simply ask how
long processes take or act on behalf of their constituents as
is appropriate."
"I deal with hundreds of constituents a year and this is 11
years ago. I simply do not have any recollection and nor did
my office. I had asked my office to check, the advice was
that we had no records.
"My memory has obviously failed me. I'm not going to blame
staff, I am responsible but the advice I had was that we had
no records of any meeting with Liu"
Mr Cunliffe said heads would "not necessarily roll" over the
affair "my staff are long serving and well working people.
"I'm not going to be rolling the heads of my electorate
office staff over something that happened 11 years ago."
He did not resile from yesterday's denials that he had ever
advocated on behalf of Mr Liu.
"Do you think I would have been emphatic if I had any memory
of Mr Liu? I gave you an honest answer as I recalled and I
stand by that statement."
Asked how he felt today, he said: "I actually know that I've
done nothing wrong so I feel totally relaxed about this."
Labour's Deputy Leader David Parker said Mr Cunliffe retained
his confidence and that of Labour's caucus.
"I think David Cunliffe has told the truth at all times."
"Obviously we would rather this not have happened. David
Cunliffe has done nothing he should be ashamed of here. He's
told the truth throughout."
Labour MP Trevor Mallard, when asked whether Mr Cunliffe
retained the confidence of caucus replied, "David Cunliffe is
the Leader of the Labour Party".
"I've always been loyal to the Leader of the Labour Party."
National: Cunliffe must explain
Prime Minister John Key told nzherald.co.nz in New York that
"politics is all about trust."
"Mr Cunliffe has asked New Zealanders to trust him that he
has had no involvement with Donghua Liu and yet this letter
suggests the opposite.
"Quite clearly he will need to explain his actions."
Asked if he thought it was more likely to be a mistake than a
lie he said "i wouldnt want to speculate on that."
"But there have been a number of occasions in the past where
getting to the truth of matters has proven quite challenging
for Mr Cunliffe."
He would not speculate on whether the revelation would put
pressure on Mr Cunliffe's leadership.
Acting Prime Minister Bill English said the revelations were
"a real surprise" because Mr Liu's donations and connections
to MPs had been debated in Parliament for two months.
He said the new details would make it difficult for the
public to take Mr Cunliffe at his word.
"He has got a lot of explaining to do," Mr English said. "His
credibility on these issues was pretty thin anyway. He set up
his own personal trust and won't reveal the donors to it in
the way everyone else has to. Now this really blows his
credibility to bits."
Mr English said he did not remember every letter he wrote in
2003, but added: "If there was a couple of months of public
discussion about a high-profile donor that I knew I would go
to the trouble of finding out."
Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce said Mr Cunliffe
had "a real problem".
"If this is the sort of standard he wants to take to the
election campaign then I think it's something that I think
the public of New Zealand will be very interested in.
"He's basically saying it doesn't matter that I say to you
one day one thing and the next day that it's something
completely different in fact the exact opposite."
Asked whether he believed Mr Cunliffe had lied, Mr Joyce
said: "He's got to square this particular circle, I don't
believe he can."
"The Labour Party needs to absolutely come clean about
everything else they've talked about Donghua Liu that weirdly
they don't know anything about."
Mr Cunliffe said the criticism that he had betrayed the trust
of New Zealanders was "politics as usual".
Mr Cunliffe said his office dealt with "hundreds and hundreds
of constituents every year that since 11 years ago adds up to
"My office it now appears was approached by an immigration
agent on his behalf and on that basis I agreed to write a low
level process inquiry, it is not a substantive advocacy for
his case."
"I did not tell a lie, I absolutely did not. I did not
intervene in support of his application."
The forgotten letter
The 2003 letter was written in his capacity as the MP for New
Lynn after he was "approached my constituent Donghua Lui
[sic] who is concerned at the time it is taking to process
his Investment Category application".
Mr Cunliffe this week denied any involvement with Liu's
residency bid after the Herald revealed the
property developer paid $15,000 at a Labour Party fundraiser
for a book signed by Helen Clark in 2007.
The letter, released to the Herald today under the
Official Information Act, dated April 11, 2003 said Liu's
application for residency was accepted for processing by the
Immigration Service on August 13, 2002.
Mr Cunliffe said Mr Liu wished to set up a joint venture
business with his Tianlong Property Development Company -
which owns his stalled property development in Newmarket - to
export large quantities of agricultural and horticultural
products to China.
"It is hoped that products from the company will be available
to the market in July 2003," wrote Mr Cunliffe.
"I am aware of the difficulties facing the Business Migration
Branch of New Zealand Immigration Services in coping with the
overwhelming numbers of applicants that have applied for
consideration under these categories and the time taken to
verify documents.
"However, it would be very helpful to Mr Liu to be advised of
an estimated period of time in which he could expect a
decision on his case."
Yesterday, Mr Cunliffe told reporters questioning him about
Liu's financial support for Labour he did not recall meeting
him and denied advocating on Liu's behalf in his residency
Liu was granted residency under the Investor Category in 2005
by Labour's associate Immigration Minister Damien O'Connor
against official advice.
The Herald this week revealed Liu's $15,000 secret
donation to Labour and today published a 2007 photograph of
Labour MP Rick Barker, the Internal Affairs Minister at the
time, presenting a bottle of wine to Liu's partner at another
Labour Party fundraiser.
Mr Barker also visited Liu in his hometown of Chongqing for a
lavish dinner that year.
The Labour Party has previously accused the National
government of making "cash for access" deals with Liu, who
received citizenship in 2010 after lobbying from National
minister Maurice Williamson and whose hotel was later opened
by Prime Minister John Key.
He gave $22,000 to the National Party in 2012 through one of
his companies, and had meetings with Immigration Minister
Michael Woodhouse in an attempt to secure relaxed immigration
rules for rich migrants.
Mr Williamson quit his ministerial portfolios last month
after the Herald revealed he contacted police over a
prosecution against Liu.
David Cunliffe to reporters yesterday
Q: Do you recall ever meeting Liu?
A: I don't recall ever meeting him, no.
Q: Did you have anything to do with the granting of his
permanent residency?
A: No, I did not.
Q: Did you advocate on his behalf at all?
A: Nope.
Q:Were you aware of any advice against granting him permanent
A: Not to my recollection.

Marious: Just a couple of points on your comment. Firstly,
Labour started the time wasting over Liu and now that they
splattered themselves with mud they want to concentrate on
things that matter. About time. Both parties need to
concentrate on their jobs, not on mud throwing.
As for your perception of a groundswell in support for the
left, polls are always inaccurate and never predict election
results so in your favour I would agree that the pundits
saying Labour polls 20-something is irrelevant. However, the
only thing you can get from them is the overall trend, which
is currently in National's favour. Any groundswell is not in
support of the left, which I believe is due to Labour relying
on the Green party (which the average blue collar voter
rightly sees as a threat to their jobs).
David Cunliffe is another part of the problem because he
doesn't relate to the traditional Labour voter, is downright
unconvincing, talks out both sides of his mouth, never
answers questions directly, and doesn't speak like the
average bloke that he wants to vote for him.
I think Chris Trotter hit the nail on the head with a
solution for Labour which
he blogs about at this link. In part, he says:
The Labour Party of Savage, Fraser and Nash, Nordmeyer,
Kirk and Rowling did not need to master the dark arts of
smearing their opponents. They did battle with the National
Party on the sunlit field of policy. The only thing their
conservative opponents were "forced" to do was to tell the
voters why Labour's policies of social uplift and collective
progress could not possibly be implemented. The basements and
back alleys of deception and entrapment remained the natural
environment of blackmailers and pimps: the immoral milieu
into which such criminal elements have always
Cunliffe is making mistakes, he is new to the job and finding
his feet. How he would perform if put in the top job?
Probably no worse than Key who also continues to make
It's not all about politicans. It's about how people feel
they are getting on day by day. Growing numbers are sick of
mounting inequality, crony politics for wealthy buisness, the
increasingly emerging low wage economy, rising electricty
prices, the sale of assets, rising food prices, unaffordable
housing, borrowing to give tax cuts to the rich, increased
child poverty, rapidly rising national debt, the sale of New
Zealand to the highest bidder, the list goes on.
A letter dug up from the dim dark ages will not change any of
the above. Nor will it change a mounting groundswell for
parties on the left, which is at the moment the real motive
for National bringing such a letter to light.
MMP worries the PM. He knows it could well put the left
in power due to the ebb of support National is suffering
overall. The Internet party has provided a wild card. Who
knows what could happen when people stand in the polling
booth this year? As he say's himself, very close tight
Current electioneering from National we can do without.
Labour would also do well to ignore this nonsense and talk
about how they are going to tackle some of the list above. It
seems the Greens and NZ First are.
This link confirms my first comment on this post.
Cunliffe is now being criticised for his poor crisis
management in addition to the original blunder and everyone
continues to facepalm...
Agreed marious, there is no cover up. By itself there is
nothing much dodgy. However the repeated gaffs just show he
still has much to learn and is not yet electable.
Collins was a Cabinet minister representing NZ overseas.
Going by the court of public opinion she sould have been
Cunliffe, as I understand it, was at the time simply an
electorate MP responding as best he could to a constituent's
Many in National's Cabinet, including Mr English with his own
trusts, have had problems with the perception of cronyism,
and some have been forced from Cabinet because of it.
It's just election year and yes, David Culiffe has some
learning to do. He certainly doesn't have the skill for a
cover up. I don't think the NewZealand voting public are all
that gullible. [Abridged]
It's election year I think this is obvious distraction on
National's part, trying to draw the media away from Key's
characterisation of his playing golf with Liu as "Charity",
or Woodhouse and others pimping themselves out at "Cabinet
Clubs" to provide access to those with money.
Let's get back on message and talk about how we can make New
Zealand better rather than continuing to play "gotcha!"
Cunliffe says this will blow over in a couple of days but
still denies advocating for this guy despite evidence... The
sensationalist media will continue to blow this out of all
proportion until he rolls over for them. Collins made the
same mistake of denial and look how long that lasted. And
that was her first offence. Cunliffe has been caught
embellishing his CV and then hid those donors (Dotcom and Liu
maybe?) and now this. I, like Cunliffe, hope more interesting
political news is making headlines tomorrow.

DIY Beaded Wire Letters
DIY Projects
I found DIY project that would go perfectly with an Art Deco wedding!
These wired letters from Martha Stewart would look lovely hanging from the bride & groom chairs or from church doors. What else says more Art Deco than pearls?
What you need:
-16 gauge wire
-beads (use color beads to match your wedding colors!)
Tip: Use a script font and print it in the size you would like for a template.
Marie Colmer
Sooooo Cute!!! I'm going to make these for my nieces for Christmas gifts. I'm a jewelry maker and already have the beads/pearls. Two questions:
1) What font did you use for the sample "L"?
2) What TYPE of wire. I know 16 Ga but just wire you can buy from the hardware or jewelry wire?
Thanks for such a great gift idea!!!
Warmly, Marie
I would also like to make this for my niece for Christmas and would like the answers to Marie's questions as well! This is adorable and I'm excited to make it!

Ron ShillingfordPhoto-JournalistPinnacle Media Group Ltd.PO Box 1365 GTGrand Cayman KY1-1108T: 345-525-0544E: firstname.lastname@example.com
Ron Shillingford has been a journalist since 1982 and has worked in print, TV and radio, mostly in London where he was born. His favourite sport is boxing and exclusive interviews have included Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. His assignments have taken him to America, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. He is also the author of three books, one of which, a martial arts handbook, has been translated into Polish, Russian and Japanese.
I never thought I would start talking like my kids, but it's happening.
Their trans-Atlantic style of using words like "awesome", "totally", "sick"and
the classic "whatever" derive from youth culture TV.
Anyone visiting Vancouver looking for an exceptional Indian restaurant
should try Maurya. I had a superb lunch there with Anna, a former Caymanian
Compass colleague who recently relocated there. Then it was back to covering
the Winter Olympics.
After a lifetime of indifference, I decided to keep an open mind and snap
up the chance of watching a top hockey game. It was the bitterly fought one
between Canada and the USA on Sunday. The action lived up to the hype with the
Americans winning sensationally 5-3. My enjoyment was heightened by sitting
beside Randy Huggins, a life-long hockey fan who had driven the nine hours from
Washington State to cheer on the Americans.
Randy patiently steered me through the nuances of the sport with added
commentary on why Sidney Crosby is the best player in the NHL, the fact that he
spotted Martin Brodeur as potentially the greatest goal tender of all time in
the early Nineties when the Canadian first burst on the scene and insisted that
young Americans like Hilary Knight and the Lamoureux twins will be around for
up to three more Olympics, they are that good. Randy also waxed lyrical on Bode
Miller, the American skier with a clutch of Olympic medals to his name –all
silver and bronze - and he hoped that roughly at the time we were speaking Miller
was getting his first ever gold. He did.
I had intended not to watch the whole match, avoid the crowds and leave
early to make the three hour trip home to Whistler, but the atmosphere was too
compelling. Whatever. My day was sick. Totally awesome!

I have these 2 classes:
public abstract class Compound {
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy="compound",
targetEntity=Containable.class, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private Set<Containable> containables = new HashSet<>();
public abstract class Containable {
@ManyToOne(optional=true, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private Compound compound;
What I want to achieve in a type-safe manner is that a specific implementation of Compound only accepts a specific implementation of Containable and vice versa.
How can I achieve this?
I already had the solution from asenovm, just wanted to double-check it is actually the correct one.
My follow-up question is, if I have
class Compound<T extends Containable> and
class Containable<T extends Compound> Containable and Compound are raw types or do I get that wrong? Because in
class Compound<T extends Containable> T is actually a Containable and not anything else.

A juvenile passenger has died after a car in which robbery suspects were being chased by Alpharetta police overturned.
Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon says an undercover Roswell detective spottted the suspects' car just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and began following it.
He says the suspects saw the detective following them and fled. He says Alpharetta police continued the pursuit with marked police cars.
Gordon says the driver of the fleeing car lost control and overturned. A boy in the back seat was killed in the crash.
The driver and a second passenger were injured and were taken into custody.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office has not identified the boy.

Faith and The Muse brought their North American tour to T.T. the Bear's in Cambridge on April 24th. New Wave Entertainment was kind enough to invite Examiner.com to review the show. Unfortunately, extenuating circumstances kept us from attending the gig.
According to the press info, "LA based Faith And The Muse is Monica Richards, who got her start on the DC scene before fronting Strange Boutique, and William Faith (Christian Death, Shadow Project, Mephisto Walz). Their first two albums, Elyria and Annwyn, Beneath the Waves are considered highly influential in the development of darkwave. Known for their experimentation with sounds and cultural influences; Faith And The Muse looks to the east for inspiration on their new CD/DVD/Book : ankoku butoh : The use of taiko drums and orchestral arrangements, mixed with Richard's serenely evocative vocals and Faith's multi-instrumental talents, adds new depth to the band's genre-busting sound which incorporates rock/punk/world/jazz."
The release continues, saying, "The band will be touring 40 North American cities in 40 days this April and May. They recently returned from the European leg of the tour where they garnered rave reviews and a #1 selling Alternative album in Germany. The tour is their most ambitious theatrical undertaking yet, with a 9-person live line-up, featuring butoh/tribal fusion dancers, a full string quartet, and taiko drums, in addition to their usual rock set up. Banners, projected visuals, and atmospheric staging only add to the otherworldly ambience of the show, leaving audiences spellbound."
The band has a few stops left on their current leg, including: New Orleans, Houston, Albuquerque and Scottsdale. Be sure to check out the trailer below!

Guest List
Aaaargh . . . and stuff
By J.W. Manning 08/08/2013
Fourteen years ago, I heard Miss Guy of the Toilet Boys sing:
"Our pirate ship's got no ocean
Get on our pirate ship, your dreams come true
Load up the cannons gonna blow up this town"
That struck a nerve. I saw them live and knew their transvestite frontman wasn't fuckin' around. They lived that metaphor with true dirty NYC pride. You could see it in how they moved. At the time, I was 19 and freshly getting used to pavement under my feet in Atlanta, Ga. I knew I had to apply this wisdom to my own band, The Getting' Headstones. We needed to blow up our town. We needed to sink a cutlass into the soft belly or ribs of all the squares we ever met or hated from afar. We were a veritable rock 'n' roll Tortuga with black leather jackets and pawn shop guitars instead of tricorn hats and flintlock pistols. And since there was no how-to book for young dumbers like myself, I applied the pirate crew metaphor to myself and others in those days.
I began to see the dominant and founding band members as captains who drove their mates on further, wrote most material, booked the shows, etc. Each was different. Some ineffectual. Some pompous. Some fucked you. Some helped you out. The chessboard of personalities ran the gamut. Being newly relocated, small and unknown, we as a band were effectually a sloop or fishing vessel in a serious rough 'n' tumble world. There were also the brigantine crews, local heroes who always packed the venues around town. And then there were the trade galleons. The heavy-hitting, money-making, touring bands that swung through to help us get into trouble by sneaking into bars and clubs under-age, and taking all our money, which we were stoked to fork over. It was a beautiful place and time. Small labels were overflowing with product. Everything under the sun was being reissued. The shelves were lined with good rockin' shit, even in the resale joints. We did our part to fight heartily and with proper form for the motherland. For our queen and country, so to speak. For rock and roll.
But inevitably, golden days tend to slough off, rotted by such boring catalysts as economy, responsibility or the dreaded parenthood. Many crews and ships are blown apart by the fine and fickle waves of the deep blue political warscape of showbiz. Some men and fine lads drift back to shore in pursuit of reality and normalcy. Conversely, some captains never give up the ghost and continue to write, recruiting new deckhands to further that once great and noble cause of championing the record deal and becoming hometown or global darlings. But there are fewer small labels and less local support everywhere.
My current hometown waters of Ventura County be ever so shallow. With more than 10 years of width and 2,000 miles between then and now, that symbiotic relationship between bands and the fleet of local goodwill and support feels a bit dodgy. Although some dives do pay — which is more than can be said for L.A. — quality control seems a bit lax. I do see a handful of venues catering to touring and original acts. And infrequently, the well-placed, cohesive punk or metal show, all-ages event or local festival here and there. But more often than not, I behold a clunky overabundance of cover bands, bland and tedious café songwriter acts, and the oxymoron of daytime, family-oriented festivals that, above all others, I believe truly damage the will of the creative fellow and consequently all nightclub economy in general.
I see years-old, neglected stages at taverns with no PA system in sight and a stage built for anything but live performance. I see scarce and unaffordable rehearsal rooms and lockouts. I see captains and crews of musical vessels that prod patrons to cast off at the band's first note of the set, leaving the drunken ugly or the simpleton burnout (usually a Sublime fan) to suffice as audience. And worst of all, I see captains who drift spectrally year after year with nothing recorded, shared or prized. Seaworn captains who, through crippling, disaffected ego, have lost the ability to look beyond their own sea of grandeur or failure, past and present, real or imagined, and hoist sail toward some unheard sonic plunder to bring to the open, yet smirking lips of hungry local interest.
We're all waiting for this scallywag-a-go-go to cut loose for Ventura, but it only works when everyone's onboard. The success of discipline works from the bottom up and back again. That means every member, every crewman, has to make a bleedin' effort. From the bookers to owners to singers. Even that musicians' barnacle, the awful DJ, can be a boon (somehow?). So stand to, ya lazy slags, and support your local pirates.
J.W. Manning is a ne'er-do-well amateur swordsman and unemployed miscreant musician. He resides deep in the valleys of Ventura County. He probably hates your band.

The inagural Alyeska Pond Crossing went down in the history books as a huge success on Saturday, September 21. For those of you who have never heard of a pond crossing allow me to paint the general picture of what it is. You take a pond (which we conveniently have at the hotel) and built the most unstable, floating bridge structure across it. The next step, find brave bikers to attempt to cross the bridge without falling into the water that happens to be hovering at a temperature of around 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the lineup of riders has been selected the rules are pretty much straight forward. Ride across the bridge as fast as you can and whomever crosses the fastest wins.Easy right? Well, maybe not so much. The width of the bridge is a whooping ten inches wide. If a rider so much as gets off their line by a few inches, it's all over. The bridge tips and there's no recovery. A huge splash in the freezing cold water and an OWWWWEEE from the crowd is all that the rider receives. To the lucky rider who does make it across successfully awaits a brand new cruiser bike from the event sponsor New Belgium Brewery, maker of the famous Fat Tire Amber Ale. As the riders line up to take on the course they each fall into the pond one by one. But one lone rider, Mr. Kevin Murphy, makes it across…on the first attempt. He lines his bike up, drops in and coasts across with pose and ease as if he has done this 100 times before. He claims his prize and his excited to have a new cruiser bike to ride around Anchorage on.
The bike festival will grow into an annual event with rider oriented races, events and concerts as the Alyeska Bike Park continues to grow. One thing is for certain though, the Alyeska Pond Crossing will grow into a signature event for all ages.

This is a rich balm that contains several beneficial plant oils. That's the good news. The bad news is this also contains a litany of irritating fragrant plant oils, all of which are not helpful for skin, whether it has been exposed to sunlight or not. If anything, the texture of this balm is not what you should be putting on skin if it has been reddened or otherwise inflamed by the sun. A sheer, water-based gel is preferred because thick products like this can trap heat and push a sunburn's damaging effects deeper into skin.

Decleor At-A-Glance
Strengths: None of note.
Weaknesses: Expensive; pervasive use of volatile essential oils that have limited to no benefit for skin and are known irritants; almost all the sunscreens lack the right UVA-protecting ingredients; no product to address acne or skin discolorations; inappropriate jar packaging.
What can you say about a skin-care line where almost 85% of the products contain volatile, fragrant plant oils that have research showing they are irritating to skin? Few lines in this book received so many unhappy faces for this reason alone—yet those very oils are Decleor's claim to fame. This spa-oriented company was begun in 1975 by a massage therapist and is now owned in part by Japan-based Shiseido (whose sunscreens trounce Decleor's by leaps and bounds).
Decleor is all about aromatherapy for skin. They speak freely of the purity of the essential oils they use and the distillation processes that keep them active, but that's precisely the cause for concern. Yes, lavender, bitter orange, rose, geranium, neroli, and other "essential" oils smell wonderful, but the very ingredients that create those intoxicating scents are what is responsible for causing skin irritation, inflammation, and, in some cases, phototoxic reactions. These essential oils have active constituents but, because they are not regulated as such, any company can use whichever ones they like in any concentration. Moreover, companies don't have to indicate the quantities that were used, leaving the consumer to guess. The concept of aromatherapy has well-established benefits concerning inhalation of scents and the effects they have on one's mood and, sometimes, physiological function. But enjoying these oils via inhalation (where they really can be beneficial) is different from applying them to skin, where hypersensitivity is well-documented and topical usage is cautioned (Sources: Current Pharmaceutical Design, December 2006, pages 3393–3399; Phytotherapy Research, September 2006, pages 758–763; European Journal of Oncology Nursing, April 2006, pages 140–149; The Journal of Nursing, August 2005, pages 11–15; and www.naturaldatabase.com).
Not only are most of Decleor's products a giant step backward for your skin, they're also a real misfortune when you consider Decleor's terrible sunscreens and lack of truly state-of-the-art ingredients. In short, experiencing these products in a relaxing spa environment may make you feel refreshed or invigorated—but if your goal is establishing a sensible, effective skin-care routine, you'll need to keep shopping.

BMW PGA Golf Championship, Wentworth
The fine West Course at Wentworth has hosted this flagship event of the European golf tour since 1984.
The Wentworth Golf Club has three championship courses, set in Surrey heathland surrounded by ancient, deciduous woods. The West Course was designed by Harry Colt, and was recently modernised by Ernie Els.
Wentworth is a members' club, but welcomes visitors year-round. The Wentworth Grill, which is run by Caprice Holdings (of Ivy and Le Caprice fame), provides gastronomic dining in elegant surroundings.
It has been the scene of legendary battles between such notables as Jacklin, Langer, Ballesteros, Faldo, Montgomerie and Woosnam.
The BMW Championship is the beginning of the championship golf season in mainland Britain, and a must for golf enthusiasts.
NB. The 2017 dates are provisional and will be finalised closer to the time.

You are warmly invited to participate in NEC's popular Board-Student Mentor Program, which connects undergraduate and graduate students to board members and alumni. This optional program provides a unique opportunity for you to engage in meaningful interactions with NEC Board Members and alumni—people who share a love of music, care deeply for NEC and its students, and who want to learn more about a musician's perspective.
While most Mentors are not professional musicians, they can offer social and worldly perspectives that can enhance your experience at NEC. Through this program, we hope you will get acquainted with Boston and surrounding communities while enjoying experiences and receiving guidance not necessarily taught in the classroom.
—Marie Llewellyn, Chair, and Barbara Raney, Program Coordinator
Things to Keep in Mind
- You will be thoughtfully paired with a Mentor who shares some common interests with you, and/or whose personality and expectations complement yours.
- The program is designed to be "free form." Once matched, Mentors and Mentees are expected to initiate and maintain contact with one another throughout the year.
- A series of group events planned during the school year include a festive kick-off dinner, outdoor activities, intimate parties at Mentor homes, and a year-end celebration. They are a lot of fun and definitely one of the favorite aspects of the program. Mentors are asked to host their Mentee(s) at events and cover any event costs (which are typically minimal).
The Role of the Student Mentee
- Stay in touch with your Mentor throughout the year. Respond to their e-mails or phone calls; update them on your activities from time to time; and arrange to get together with them at least two to three times a semester.
- Share your NEC student experience with your Mentor.
- Invite your Mentor to attend your performances at NEC and throughout the city.
- Provide feedback about the mentor program at the end of the year.
Benefits: Forming a relationship with someone who has perhaps had different life experiences from you and who has pursued a different career path from you can be very rewarding and enlightening.
"Especially since I'm in a grad program, meeting people in 'real life' is an invaluable experience that puts my degree in perspective and helps me think about my future outside of NEC."
—Current Mentee
The Role of the Mentor
- Provide opportunities for interaction with the student Mentee such as meeting for coffee, attending a performance together, or inviting the student over for a "home cooked" meal.
- Provide experiences and guidance not necessarily taught in the classroom.
- Be a non-financial resource to the student.
Benefits: The program is an opportunity for Mentors to become further integrated into the Conservatory community by getting to know an NEC student on a personal basis.
"Overall, I have been delighted to participate in the program, which has offered me not only valuable insight into the Conservatory experience for a student, but delight in witnessing the blossoming of them socially and musically throughout the year. It is indeed a delight and a privilege to be a mentor."
—Current Mentor
Suggested Activities
- Try to meet two to three times per semester.
- Meet for coffee at a local café.
- Visit local museums and attend concerts together.
- Invite your Mentor to sit in on one of your lessons or rehearsals.
- Invite your Mentor to your concerts or recitals.
Mentee Feedback
- I loved getting to know my mentor and spending time with him and his family. I greatly enjoyed seeing new sights in Boston with him, but also showing him new things about music and bringing him to my own concerts.
- Dinners with my mentor are always fun. It's nice to talk about things with adults who are not stressed about the NEC usuals (auditions, exams, etc.)
- A highlight for me was performing a house concert at my mentor's home. She also helped me make contact with a concert presenter in Boston.
- Feeling connected to an individual who has had so many unique experiences different from my own.
- Seeing my mentors in the audience of every performance I've had over the last four years. I loved this program. My mentors are so dedicated and wanted to learn so much about my music. They were my biggest fans and never missed a performance.
- My mentor shows such care and concern for me!
- The reason I applied to the program was to improve my English and expand my social life in Boston. Now these two aspects have both improved, thanks to the mentor program!
- These last four years have been phenomenal, and the mentor program has played a great role in my overall development as a classical artist.
- My mentor was a great fit. He had a lot of great advice.
- Having dinner at my mentor's house and discussing so many different musical and non-musical things!
- Meeting a fantastic person and having someone cheering for me and helping with the dress rehearsals and pre-recitals.
- I love my mentor! Going places I don't normally go is always fun!
- Going out with my mentor and getting together with all of the other mentees/mentors at the beginning of the year dinner; the dinner parties and the Tavern Club year-end event. Such a wonderful experience. I loved performing for and with my peers.
Mentor Feedback
- It's a first-class program!
- This is the best way I know of for a Board member to become involved at NEC.
- As an older graduate student, our mentee was able to connect with us on an adult level. We were able to help him make contacts and other networking.
- It's a wonderful program and so beneficial to the students.
- I feel like my mentee and I were a lovely match. I absolutely adore this program!
- Our mentees have all been wonderful, serious students who have shared their musical interests with me.
- Both my mentees are hardworking, responsible, smart, persevering, and a delight to know.
- I love being a mentor. It is so exciting to work with these young people who are so passionate about music!
- It's an excellent program, very rewarding.
- I think the mentor program is amazing! I see it happening all over NEC—at concerts, in the hallways, at Panera. It's a total win-win.

Does the sky seem blue this morning?
The birds more tuneful?
Usually I'm a bit of a humbug about the whole new year thing but I woke up on the 1st of January 2013 with a extra feeling of lightness.
This could definitely be due to the gorgeous sunny morning here in Melbourne. It is almost certainly something to do with the lie in till 9 am!!! afforded to me by my two minimen (courtesy of taking them to watch the family fireworks here in Melbourne). It's also helped along by the good feelings left over from the casual and happy BBQ we enjoyed at a friend's house beforehand. Oh and don't forget the whole week my work is closed for this year. Lots to be happy about and all that has helped. But honestly, I really feel this is going to be a good year!
Still, I can't bring myself to destroy a New Year's Resolution I made when I was 8. I was hunting for one I could keep and decided 'never to make a New Year's Resolution' would be an easy life long one. Not the most useful maybe but habits are hard to break and I'm kinda superstitious about it now.
So instead I have chosen a couple of words that I would like 2013 to reflect.
Frugal and Light.
Frugal as in not throwing away money, no extremes, just a healthier way to live and more awareness of making, remaking and simple fun.
Light as in light-hearted. Greet problems with a smile and an open mind. Find that silver lining!
So whatever your words are, wishing everyone a happy 2013!

- Price Before Booze & Tip: $98 prix fixe; $148 tasting
- Official Site: Jean-Georges.com
- Telephone and Address: 212-299-3900 -- 1 Central Park West, New York City, 10023
- Location: New York City, New York
These days, it would seem that Jean-Georges Vongerichten spends more time in the air than in the kitchen, but despite the shocking ubiquity (and, sometimes, questionable quality) of his far-flung outposts, Jean-George's commitment to his not quite eponymous flagship, Jean Georges, has kept him comfortably seated among New York's culinary elite for over a decade. From its perch on Columbus Circle, Vongerichten's crown jewel has not only endured, but continued to flourish, and his clean and meticulous marriage of French techniques and Asian flavors remains not only relevant, but vibrant and refreshing, even after all of these years.
Gazing upon the graceful curves, subtle style and almost monochromatic palette of the dining room, it's easy to forget that Jean Georges inhabits the ground floor of a building run by a man with a lifetime commitment to gold, crystal and bad hair. Trump's claim that One Central Park West is "the most important address in the world" is more than a touch of hyperbole, but with a display kitchen that overlooks the street and bookends like Central Park and the Time Warner Center, the location is anything but low-profile. A recent remodel has replaced the formerly angular light fixtures and seating with more organically shaped pieces, lending a pleasant flow to a room that was starting to look a bit dated. And the staff is sharp as ever, especially when executing the kind of throwback tableside carving and saucing that brings some of the kitchen's energy into the dining room.
Working with highly unconventional pairings and crisp, clean flavors that are anchored by light oils, juices and broths, Vongerichten wrings maximal gravity out of minimal ingredients, avoiding complication and keeping the diner fresh and focused. Each and every ingredient is cleanly articulated and serves a prominent role. His signature scallops, grounded by slices of caramelized cauliflower, are dressed with a caper-raisin relish that simultaneously accentuates and cuts through the bivalve's natural sweetness and brine, and his myriad variations on a favored theme of lobster with tapioca and Gewurztraminer foam are nothing short of an explosive and revelatory new take on the old workhorse of luxury seafood. Most astounding, however, is the underlying simplicity of most of his recipes. Vongerichten is the best kind of magician: the kind whose illusions are not spoiled, but rather enhanced by the fact that his secrets are plainly laid out for all to see.

Knechtle, B; Knechtle, P; Rosemann, T (2011). Low prevalence of exercise-associated hyponatremia in male 100 km ultra-marathon runners in Switzerland. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 111(6):1007-1016.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
We investigated the prevalence of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) in 145 male ultra-marathoners at the '100-km ultra-run' in Biel, Switzerland. Changes in body mass, urinary specific gravity, haemoglobin, haematocrit, plasma [Na(+)], and plasma volume were determined. Seven runners (4.8%) developed asymptomatic EAH. Body mass, haematocrit and haemoglobin decreased, plasma [Na(+)] remained unchanged and plasma volume increased. Δ body mass correlated with both post race plasma [Na(+)] and Δ plasma [Na(+)]. Δ plasma volume was associated with post race plasma [Na(+)]. The athletes consumed 0.65 (0.30) L/h; fluid intake correlated significantly and negatively (r = -0.50, p < 0.0001) to race time. Fluid intake was neither associated with post race plasma [Na(+)] nor with Δ plasma [Na(+)], but was related to Δ body mass. To conclude, the prevalence of EAH was low at ~5% in these male 100 km ultra-marathoners. EAH was asymptomatic and would not have been detected without the measurement of plasma [Na(+)].

For the week of
June 05, 2009
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — North Carolina's public schools have
added administrators, consultants, and other nonclassroom staffers
faster than they've added students this decade. That's a key finding in
a new John Locke Foundation Spotlight report.
"It's important to keep this rapid growth of nonclassroom jobs in mind
as N.C. House budget writers recommend cutting positions to help fill
the state government's budget hole," said report author Terry Stoops,
John Locke Foundation Education Policy Analyst. "While North Carolina's
public school enrollment has grown about 13 percent since 2000, the
number of school personnel has grown by nearly 18 percent. Much of that
growth has been outside the classroom."
In 2003, North Carolina public schools had eight students for every
staff member, Stoops said. "By 2006, that number had dipped to seven
students per staffer," he said. "There's one teacher for every 14
students, one teacher assistant for every 45 students, and one
administrative position for every 167 students."
Much of the growth in school personnel has no direct impact on
classroom instruction, Stoops said. "Since 2000, North Carolina school
districts have added 435 staffers known as 'consultants' or 'supervisors,' and they've added nearly 2,000 people with the even more
vague designation of 'other professionals.'"
A 2008 study from researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill and East Carolina
highlights the importance of spending money in the classroom, Stoops
said. "This study of North Carolina high school resource allocation
found that the effect of total per pupil expenditures on student
performance is very small," he said. "Meanwhile, researchers found that
money spent on regular classroom instruction would have a sizeable
impact on student learning outcomes."
CJ: Mystery group behind dam takeover bidRALEIGH — A driving force behind the state's effort to take over a
central North Carolina hydroelectric project owned by Alcoa Power
Generating Inc. is a mysterious group called the North Carolina Water
Rights Committee. The panel is headed by Raleigh City Council member
Nancy McFarlane. She has refused several Carolina Journal requests to be interviewed about her organization.
CJ: Ethanol firm officials plead guiltyRALEIGH — Two principals of a failed ethanol production company each
pleaded guilty in federal court on Monday to one count of conspiracy
after a grand jury indicted them last year on charges also involving
bribery, extortion, and perjury. They will return to court Aug. 31 for
sentencing and could each receive up to five years in prison.
CJ: Greensboro hoping for stimulus dollarsGREENSBORO — The City of Greensboro desperately wants to finish the
revitalization of the Ole Asheboro neighborhood on the south side of
downtown. Finding the money to do so — especially during an economic
downturn — is a totally different matter.
Annual NC conservative rally opposing new taxesRALEIGH — "Joe the Plumber" says adding taxes on services - like
plumbing, perhaps - isn't the way to go in North Carolina. Samuel
Wurzelbacher, who became a hero to some Republicans during the
presidential campaign when he challenged Barack Obama on taxes, said
Wednesday at a conservative rally that a tax on more services - such as
those proposed by some General Assembly members - would only get passed
on to consumers.
Apple says it will build NC data warehouseRALEIGH — Apple Inc. announced Wednesday it would build a data center
in North Carolina, two days after the state Legislature agreed to
special tax breaks designed for the technology giant to invest $1
billion in the project. The confirmation that the maker of Macintosh
computers, iPods and iPhones would build its East Coast data warehouse
somewhere in the state came the same day Gov. Beverly Perdue signed the
incentives bill targeting Apple into law.

"Who's going to keep the highways clean if Haywood Correctional Center closes?"— The Haywood County Commission, as quoted by the Raleigh News & Observer, in a resolution urging that the local state prison be kept open. Despite the state's large budget deficit, it is proving political difficult to close small, inefficient prisons like the one in Haywood County.
"I think it's as dead as a doornail."— House Minority Leader Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, D-Wake, describing to the Winston-Salem Journal the odds that the "North Carolina Racial Justice Act" will pass the House. The bill would allow the use of statistical data on race in previous cases to challenge the imposition of the death penalty.
"He just got used."— Tom Malinowski, Washington director of Human Rights Watch, commenting to the Asheville Citizen-Times on Rep. Heath Shuler's, D-11th, trip to Sri Lanka. While there, Shuler praised the Sri Lankan government's treatment of refugees from its long-running civil war.
"Attendance is up. Donations are down."— Paul Galloway, executive director of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, describing to the Raleigh News & Observer what impact the recession has had on the museum, which does not charge an admission fee.

Benefits of Cutting Back on Red MeatRemember when being a vegetarian was a political statement? These days, it's a vote for a healthier heart. "Most women who develop coronary heart disease do so by age 45," says cardiologist Elsa-Grace Giardina, MD, director of the Center for Women's Health at Columbia University. "A diet where most of the protein comes from non-animal sources may help jump-start you on the road to health." A large Harvard study published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2004 found that women who ate eight or more servings a day of fruits and vegetables were 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those who ate fewer than one and a half servings a day.And when unsaturated fats — those derived from plants — were eaten in place of carbohydrates, they helped reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good). In fact, for every extra serving of fruits and vegetables participants added to their diets, their risk of heart disease dropped by four percent.High in Saturated Fats & Harder to DigestCutting back on red meat at this point in your life just makes sense: Although meat is a good source of protein, zinc, vitamin B12, and selenium, you can also get those nutrients from plants. Red meat is also high in saturated fat, which clearly contributes to heart disease. And it's a dense source of calories. As your metabolism slows and your caloric needs decrease, eating less meat is a painless way to keep your weight down.Finally, it may be easier to eat less beef now because of your changing tastes. "Fewer people over 45 that I see in my practice choose red meat," Giardina notes. "When I ask what they have for dinner, they say fish or chicken, not a burger or rib eye steak. There must be a physiological reason that these preferences change. It may be it's harder to digest, or there's something different with our enzyme system."Meat in ModerationBut if the thought of never eating beef again leaves you in dietary despair, hold on. We're grown-ups, and we eat to enhance our well-being; that means consuming not just foods with antioxidants and other preventive elements but also those that make us feel good because they satisfy our senses and make our toes curl in pleasure. "If you want steak, have it," says John La Puma, MD, medical director of the Santa Barbara Institute for Medical Nutrition and Healthy Weight and a coauthor of The RealAge Diet. "There is a place in a healthy diet for red meat." La Puma believes that if you're healthy, you can eat a 3- to 4-ounce serving of red meat once a week, but if you want to lose weight, you should limit it to once a month because of its calorie density. And if you have risk factors for heart disease, including elevated cholesterol, he suggests eating red meat a maximum of once a month.Whether you choose to cut back on your meat intake occasionally or altogether, the suggestions that follow can make the transition easier. For optimal nutrition over one week, La Puma recommends that you aim to have four dinners based on legumes or soy, two based on fish, and one on poultry or red meat. And don't forget about grain-based meals; high-protein grains, such quinoa and brown rice (which offers a complete array of proteins when paired with beans), are satisfying substitutes. "People who eat the most whole grains have the least heart disease," La Puma notes.Tips for a Healthier DietGo for Meaty Flavor, Not MeatYour palate distinguishes sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors. In the 1980s, researchers isolated another taste sensation: umami, the earthy, meaty flavor found in beef, soy sauce, miso, fish sauce (nam pla, nuoc mam), mushrooms (shiitake, portobello), anchovies, and game. If you've designated tonight a meatless night, yet it's red meat you crave, satisfy your taste by boosting umami instead: Try spooning marinated mushrooms over a salad, topping chicken with sauteed shiitake mushrooms, marinating chicken breasts in soy sauce, or adding nam pla to a stir-fry. Try the Other "Steak"The kind from swordfish, tuna, or salmon: The substantial texture of this cut can make a credible meat stand-in. Substitute SoyEat soy because it's a low-fat protein alternative to meat, not because it's a heart-protective food. According to La Puma, the FDA-backed claims that up to 50 grams of soy protein a day can reduce LDL cholesterol are now being questioned.

Hampton Court Flower Show 2011
5th - 10th July 2011
Stay in central London when you visit the Hampton Court Flower Show and get your travel to the show paid for you...
Hampton Court Flower Show 2011
5th-10th July 2011
The Hampton Court Flower Show takes place at Hampton Court Palace in East Molesey. This is the most extensive gardening show in the UK, with the most numerous show gardens. There are tips on how to make the most of your garden, and plenty about healthy outdoor living.
In the past driving to the show has been inconvenient, as there can be lengthy queues to leave. So why not follow in the steps of King Henry the Eighth and make the journey from Westminster to Hampton Court? There is a river boat available which makes a very scenic trip, but if you are looking forward to the show, then the journey is rather time consuming. However, the train journey is only 40 minutes from Victoria to Hampton Court Railway Station. If you stay in central London, you can enjoy the show, and then have all the benefits of the location, with a wealth of restaurants to choose from.
For guests visiting the Hampton Court Flower Show this year and staying at the Georgian House Hotel, we will pay for your rail tickets to and from the show. Just show your travel receipt at reception and the cost will be deducted from the hotel bill. We will also give every guest a little snack pack for the day, containing a bottle of mineral water and a snack bar.
Please quote HAM11 when making your booking to benefit from this offer.
This offer is subject to availability and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Offer runs from 5th-10th July 2011.

The Obama administration's vows to fight UN efforts for "global governance" of the Internet ring hollow.
UN Internet Summit: Communists, Socialists, Globalists in Charge of Cyberspace?Written by William F. Jasper
The UN's upcoming summit on "global governance" of the Internet bodes ill for freedom in cyberspace, as official representation is tilted heavily toward the side of totalitarian repression.
UN Grabs for the Internet: CFR, Chatham House Lead Toward "Global Governance"Written by William F. Jasper
As the UN Internet Summit in September approaches, globalists are stepping up the propaganda blitz to give the UN taxing, censoring, surveillance, and governing powers over all Internet usage.
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed a secret NSA program called "MonsterMind" in an interview with Wired magazine's James Bamford August 12. The program is an automated prediction and response to possible cyber attacks against the United States, analyzing patterns of data flow into and out of the country, and automatically counter-attacking against the "wrong" type of patterns.

2011 Congress – By the Numbers
October 31, 2011
Take a look at the 2011 All American Quarter Horse Congress as a mathematician would see it.
As the world's largest single-breed horse show, the All American Quarter Horse Congress should have some pretty outrageous numbers.
Take a look some of those astonishing figures:
- 110,000,000 – the number of dollars Congress brings to the central Ohio area*
- 3,570,000 – the estimated number of pounds of manure produced during the show
- 650,000 – the number of people who travel to Ohio for the show*
- 100,000 – the number of dollars won by the winner of the Western Pleasure Master's class
- 17,000 – the number of entries each year at Congress*
- 3,500 – the number of souvenir programs distributed*
- 3,400 – the number of hooves at the show*
- 396 – the number of classes at the 2011 Congress*
- 250 – the number of commercial exhibit spaces*
- 77 – the number of Quarter Horse associations in attendance to participate in the Congress National Youth Activity Team Tournament
- 45 – the number of years Congress has existed
- 18 – the number of Congress Queen candidates
- 3 – the number of weeks during the show (24 days)
- 1 – the number of women crowned as the All American Quarter Horse Congress Queen
*Denotes that the number is approximate and estimated with help from the 2011 All American Quarter Horse Congress press office and website.

Modern Mrs. Cleaver came about years ago…one of those times in life where you're sitting around and the imaginary light bulb comes on. I found myself thinking of all the unfortunate wisdom and tradition from the past that is falling to the wayside to be forgotten.
Times have changed…believe me I understand completely. I aim to bring it all back! I laugh as I contemplate what I, one person, might be able to achieve in doing this. My goal is to reinvent and pass along recipes that are cost effective, delicious and fun to make.
If all that fails, I will still walk away knowing that my husband, my children, and my home have all reaped the benefits of my work. I will rejoice in the fact that my children know the taste of a pie crust made from scratch, and I will watch with delight as they dive into the treats I make on a shoestring budget.
If you're looking for something specific, you can utilize the search bar located in the upper right corner of this page, which will narrow down the posts to only those containing the word or words you have searched for.
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to browse through the tabs above, comment and take part in recipe sharing or hilarious tidbits of any kind…..
