Most readers regard the sensibility of Anton Chekhov, the innovative Russian dramatist and modern master of the short story, as thoroughly secular, and the famous credo expounded in one of his letters seems to justify this view. "I would like to be a free artist and nothing else," Chekhov wrote to the poet and critic, Alexei Pleshcheyev, in 1888. "My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and the most absolute freedom imaginable, freedom from violence and lies, no matter what form they take."
Despite the fierce exhilaration of such pronouncements, Chekhov can seem a gloomy writer, as if his stories and plays bear the image of the writer in his last, invalid days at Yalta—a pale, emaciated figure, dressed in black, pathetically unsteady on his feet. Gloomy epiphanies abound in his work; his characters are typically overwhelmed by circumstances and unable to act to improve their lot. And yet the particular circumstance that frequently overwhelms them is self-knowledge, an inescapable glimpse of themselves that they cannot bear. Chekhov knew the possibility of change inherent in self-knowledge, even if few of his characters took advantage of it. And as the comic pieces of his student years were replaced by psychological studies of increasing weight and depth, he became more interested in exploring what follows the bitter epiphany of self-knowledge. In doing so, he began to...

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

Grupo Mexico Shares Fall as Congress Responds to Spill
Grupo Mexico SAB, the world's fourth-largest copper producer, fell the most since March after congress called for a cancellation of the company's Cananea mine concession following a chemical spill.
Grupo Mexico, billionaire German Larrea's holding company, fell 2.9 percent to 45.75 pesos at 1:21 p.m. in Mexico City. Earlier it lost as much as 3.9 percent, the most intraday since March 13. The shares have lost 5.3 percent since a copper sulfate solution spill was detected at the company's Cananea mine Aug. 6 in the northern Sonora state.
The permanent commission of Mexico's congressional houses yesterday called for the cancellation of Grupo Mexico's concession and a suspension of operations at the mine after the spill contaminated local rivers. Mexico's environmental prosecutor, known as Profepa, announced Aug. 18 that it will seek a fine and a prison term of up to nine years for those found responsible. The spill is being investigated by the National Water Commission.
"The shares have been falling and the noise around this case will continue until the water commission completes its investigation," Rodrigo Garcilazo, an analyst at Corporativo GBM, said in a phone interview from Mexico City. "If there is a temporary suspension of the plant, this could have more long-term impacts on Grupo Mexico than expected."
The copper sulfate solution that spilled into two Sonora rivers isn't hazardous, Grupo Mexico said yesterday in a statement. The company said it "regrets the incident" and expects the environmental alert to be lifted tomorrow.

According to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, Appleton was asked to attend a meeting with global advisor Shebby Singh where he was told that owners Venky's had decided to part ways.
A club statement read: "Blackburn Rovers FC can confirm that Michael Appleton has been relieved of his duties as manager along with assistant manager Ashley Westwood, first team coach Darren Moore and head of senior recruitment Luke Dowling."
Appleton was ostensibly Blackburn's long-term replacement for Henning Berg, who lasted only 57 days in the job before being sacked in December.
However, Appleton, who won only four games in 15 and required a last-minute equaliser from David Dunn to prevent a defeat to bitter rivals Burnley at the weekend, has lasted only 67 days himself.
Appleton left Portsmouth to join Blackpool in November and spent only 13 games as the club's manager before moving to Ewood Park in January.
His exit means that, incredibly, Blackburn are now searching for their sixth manager of the season.
Steve Kean started the 2012-13 campaign as Rovers boss before caretaker Eric Black spanned the gap to Berg.
When the club's former defender was sacked, Gary Bowyer took over caretaker duties before the arrival of Appleton. It is reported that Bowyer will resume the role.

When you think about it;
1. Rigondeaux hasn't jumped numerous divisions and carried his speed and power like Pac, Rigo was 54kg at the 2000 Olympics.
2. He spent the best part of a decade as the top am in the world and never failed a drug test, including Olympic style. Also to my knowledge he's never failed one as a pro.
3. The argument comes up that now he has power that he didn't have before so therefore he is using PED's, but I remember seeing him fight many times in the amateurs and knocking the top am's in the world out with big Green Hill gloves and headgear on.
Of course he's not doping and there's no reason to suspect him of it. It's just something Donaire has thrown in at the last second to try and avoid fighting Rigo. Rigo is going to sign the VADA agreement and then I expect Donaire to come up with something else.

Software reuse is big business. Managers of software houses know that reuse can bring financial rewards to their company, so long as effective reuse procedures are in place. Many companies are now starting their own reuse libraries. However, how can they decide what constitutes a resusable component? How can they measure the potential reusability of a component? And what guidelines can developers take to ensure they are developing reusable software? Through surveys and experiments, this paper identifies the factors relating to the reusability of code and presents a reusability metric for object-oriented software, suggesting that this could be used by software houses in their reuse programmes.

Was Robert Pattinson drunk on Jimmy Kimmel?
Shy Robert Pattinson was unusually zany on Jimmy Kimmel last night (Monday) and blogger Perez Hilton thinks it's because he was a little tipsy. Hilton theorizes he was feeling nervous because his interview was airing at the same time as Kristen Stewart's appearance on Jay Leno. Considering Kimmel equips his green rooms with bottles of vodka we […]Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:47 pm

Breaking Dawn cheating outtakes are totally awkward
Things would have been totally awkward if Robert Pattinson found out Kristen Stewart cheated on him in the midst of filming Breaking Dawn. Imagine looking into your co-actor's eyes during a love scene, but instead of serenading them with the cheesy script all you can think about is tripping them with a wad of tape or lawn […]Posted on October 23, 2012 at 1:49 pm

BAMF Girls Club by Comediva is quickly becoming one of my new favourite shows. It stars kickass female characters like Harry Potter's Hermione Granger, The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen and The Walking Dead's Michonne… And then of course there's Twilight's Bella, but I don't know if she's earned the strong, female role model label (sorry Bella). Anyway, two new episodes are finally out. […]Posted on September 11, 2012 at 3:53 pm

Kristen Stewart looks sad on the cover of British Vogue
I'm actually a bit disappointed with Kristen Stewart's cover shoot with British Vogue. Throughout her career, Stewart has perfected the scowl we've come to love/hate in her movies and photo ops — it's somewhere between Posh Spice's mysterious glare and Tumblr's sad meme. Her cover for British Vogue is no exception. She stares at the camera in porcelain foundation […]Posted on September 5, 2012 at 4:18 pm

Twilight gets a bad lip reading
Listen, I'm a huge fan of The Twilight Saga too but you have to admit the acting isn't stellar. In fact, some scenes are so uncomfortable to watch, it seems like someone forced Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to wear mole-hair corsets under their clothes. Their lack of body movements and uncomfortable facial expressions is one reason […]Posted on September 5, 2012 at 9:24 am

Last month, South Florida Harold Mendenhall was credited with donating his 100th gallon of blood.
The 84-year-old first started giving blood on July 7, 1977 and has been donating ever since.
Florida blood bank OneBlood clarified that the donation was actually, platelets, a blood product.
According to the American Red Cross, many people suffering from diseases like leukemia often require platelets.
Mendenhall told The Palm Beach Post that even after 400 times, he still doesn't like to watch them draw the blood.
"Make sure you give me the sharp needle, not that square one," Mendenhall joked with OneBlood worker LaTonia Federick. "They always compliment me on my veins."
More from GlobalPost: Blood supply at a 15-year low, says Red Cross
Mendenhall first donated after his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was after she died seven years later, he started regularly visiting the blood bank on his way home from work.
He said it helped him cope with feelings of loss after the deaths of both his wife and, later, two of his five sons. Those sons died at the ages of 47 and 53.
"Giving blood can only be done by a human being, so that's been my payback for my career and my good health and all the blessings I've had," Mendenhall told CBS News.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
A new research center has officially opened in Singapore that is said to be the first research center in Asia exclusively dedicated to accelerating the understanding of how individual cells work, and how diagnosis and treatment might be enhanced through insight derived from single cells. The Single-Cell Omics Centre (SCOC) will reportedly be an important resource for both academic and industry researchers in Singapore and the region, who are keen to access integrated analytics for single-cell genomic applications.
The SCOC is a collaboration between the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), an institute under the umbrella of the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), and Fluidigm, which became the first biochip company to set up shop in Singapore in 2005.
The new center is a dedicated 25-square-meter laboratory in GIS facilities in Biopolis, Singapore that features next-generation genomic equipment and sequencing technologies including the Fluidigm C1™ Single-Cell Auto Prep system, which can automatically isolate individual cells from small tissue quantities or larger cell populations. This installation of a C1 system was reportedly one of the first in the world. The center also houses two Fluidigm BioMark™ HD Systems that can perform single-cell gene expression analytics and validation. These instruments were manufactured at Fluidigm's factory in Singapore.
The SCOC expects to attract top researchers from Asia to conduct single-cell experimentation for foundational research. Its founders hope that scientists from various fields of biology will go to the SCOC to learn how stem cells might be reprogrammed for therapeutic treatments in the future, or to discover how various diseases work so they can develop new drugs or treatments to cure the sickly, or how to personalize medical care so it can meet the needs of each patient.
"By encouraging multidisciplinary collaborations, this center will further enhance Singapore's R&D capabilities and scientific know-how," said Lim Chuan Poh, chairman of A*STAR. "It may also lead to new, potentially life-saving applications in the biomedical sector."
"Single-cell genomics provides researchers with an opportunity for extraordinary scientific discovery," said Fluidigm president and CEO Gajus Worthington. "Individual cells, even from the same tissue, do not function identically. These differences can be the key to crucial biological insights, including the diagnosis and treatment of critical diseases. We expect the combination of rich application diversity, groundbreaking science, and the endorsement from key opinion leaders throughout Asia to make this center one of the leaders of single-cell innovation in the world."

Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett:
On the team's intensity and effort during today's game after the ODU game:
"This team, I've watched them closely. They beat Xavier on the road and the game before that they won on the road by about 45. They are a team that I thought would really test our ability on defense to sustain or be continuous with chase and screens because they have real good shooting. Cochran had a rough shooting game, but I thought Doug [Browman] gave us a good lift. I knew we'd have to really work defensively whether it was single screens or double screens, and be in a stance and that is what I was pleased with. We were there in the catch and didn't give them too many uncontested shots. I thought that made the difference on the defensive end."
On Mike Tobey's offense and Doug Browman's defense:
"Doug defensively did [a great job] and even a couple times offensively, he handled the ball and created some shots. Obviously, you could see that Wofford was small, and I thought we took advantage of the mismatches and Mike showed his soft touch. He really has a nice touch and it's just a matter of time as his strength comes and his experience. He'll get better, but he can score and he has some skills. He hit a three and showed you some perimeter stuff."
On Doug Browman's playing time:
"I thought Doug [Browman] practiced well and we were very concerned with Cochran. They've been down in games. They get down 18 or 20 and they've made some unbelievable comebacks. Cochran will score in bunches and we thought, at times I've been going with Taylor [Barnette], but Doug [Browman] practiced well and he brings the experience of a senior that knows our system. We thought we needed that and so that's why he got more time and was very effective out there."
On Darion Atkins' playing time:
"He's been battling a bit of a shin issue and it just flared up on him this week in practice, even after the days off. He was struggling with that before the last game against Old Dominion and we'll get it looked at and hopefully, it's nothing too serious."
Virginia Senior Guard Doug Browman:
On his role:
"It's just really good to get out there and get some minutes with the guys. To get the chance to get in there and be effective is really a blessing. The coaches always tell me to stay ready just in case, because we don't really know what's happening with Jontel. So, they always tell me to stay prepared and mentally engaged."
On his minutes today:
"I really didn't expect to play that many minutes today. But like I said I'm always ready to go in. I knew I might have a significant role today, just knowing their players and how they play."
On the win:
"It helped us a lot, especially after a tough loss against ODU. It helped our confidence to get a win against a good team in Wofford, and it really helped us going forward. We have a tough challenge next Sunday."
Virginia Freshman Forward/Center Mike Tobey:
On the game:
"I came to the game trying to play hard and trying to win a game. But the most important thing the coach emphasized was that this is a good team and we just needed to come out ready to play."
On following the loss to ODU:
"We definitely should not have lost that game. It wasn't a good way to go into our little winter break, and it was definitely important for us to bounce back today. I think we did a good job with that."
On learning under Akil Mitchell:
"Akil is a great leader. He's a great mentor for me. He's been through the system for two years now, and he is really good at working with us young guys and keeping our heads up."
Wofford Head Coach Mike Young:
On Mike Tobey:
"He hasn't played a lot, but our scouting report had him at good 15-feet and in, moves well. I thought we could put him into some ball screens but my stars, he showed great hands, but he was really impressive. We knew he was a good player, but we were more concerned with [Akil] Mitchell and [Darion] Atkins in the post than we were Tobey, but he had an excellent game, let's be honest."
On Doug Browman:
"He took Cochran out of the game. We really had a hard time getting Cochrane into some things. Browman really managed the game from his spot. He has a great understanding of his role. He's not going to turn it over, ran his team and guarded people. Something tells me that Tony [Bennett] is going to find a place for someone like that."

AbstractTunable laser spectrometers are used by NASA for investigations of planetary atmospheric constituent gases. The availability of widely tunable long-wavelength (3 to 12?Ym) lasers operating at room temperature would allow such spectrometers to a wider range of gas species detection sensitivity increased by orders-of-magnitude relative to near-infrared lasers currently used in these applications. Aculight proposes to demonstrate a novel mid-infrared laser technology capable of room temperature operation at any wavelength between 2 and 17?Ym. We will demonstrate, for the first time, continuous wave optical parametric oscillation in the new nonlinear material, orientation-patterned Gallium Arsenide (OP-GaAs) and show that it can be pumped by low cost, compact fiber-based sources developed for the telecommunications industry.

For us cricket tragics the T20 format must now be forever tainted by the prospect of match fixing. The other night I watched Brendon McCallum kill the Chennai Kings chances in the IPL playoffs single handed. First off all he ran out Raina (on 100+ and looking to win the game for Chennai), then he scored 11 runs off 16 balls, then ran himself out. Incompetent, or deliberate, who knows?

Armstrong is at his worst in the Herald this morning, elevating the silly greens (more correctly red melons) to major political party status "whose time has come." Many might think that this latest effort by him, especially as it follows his disastrous pre poll result piece last week, are simply the writings of the demented – or have been written to editorial prescription.
With the persistently high polling in favour of National, and the equally persistent low results for Labour, the bunch of left wing would-be intellectual scribblers that comprise the Parliamentary Press Gallery in 2014, and the equally (often worse) deluded academic "experts" (Robinson excluded), frustrated by their inability to detect the continuing anti-left political ground swell, it is probably no wonder that they act as green shills. Almost to the last, they persist in worshiping the false god that is the IPCC and its lies. Now they trumpet a carbon tax that will, they say, benefit "every one" by about $300 pa – apart from the industry that under-pins our economy. That their policy was announced to howls that lifted the roof is indicative of their economic illiteracy.
If, by some mischance, the greens and all the other left wing nutters are in the position to determine the composition of the Executive post September 20, then God help New Zealand. That mob will ensure that our economic recovery is cremated, and that we join the ranks of the PIGS (since expanded to include Australia, US, UK and France).

Flipper: If Armstrong were a sportsman he would not be averse to taking a bribe. He, along with the rest of his ilk, are not journalists, they are messengers of the left, and overpaid. These left-wing scum he adores would have NZ in a worse economic state than Greece in a matter of weeks. They would not need to worry about carbon taxes and overseas house buyers, the market, and overseas investment, would stop immediately; anyone with brains pulling their capital out of the country as it would be worth nothing. Many of my associates have contingencies in place regarding business and investments, not wanting to go through another term of interference, and incompetence by fiscally dyslexic, envious losers.

Ed Miliband is under increasing pressure to take a harder line on immigration after a backbench revolt over Europe's open borders.
George Osborne has jumped on Labour's refusal to back the target as evidence that the party has not changed and would allow more immigrants into Britain than the Tories.
The pressure from within his own party on immigration comes after Labour was beaten into second place by UKIP in last month's European elections.
Our Labour very confusing and racist

Until I remembered that I blew through an intersection stop sign in 2011 – no different. I would liken the sickening feeling as it happens to – say – if you lost your brakes. I was fortunate to be alone at the intersection. On the other side I stopped and was frozen wide-eyed staring off in horror at the unforgiveable lapse of concentration. I can't remember exactly how long I stopped for but I needed a while to re-set.

A "booming" Asian population will "transform" politics.
WW2 was about an attempt by Germany/ Japan to "transform" politics.
Maori not as convinced as everyone else that it is win -win.
Vancouver's experience is probably like Canada's on the whole. Trudeau brought in multiculturalism by federal directive in the 70s ("Although there are two founding peoples there is no founding culture…" and that mirrored Laurier before him…) Then in 1982, multiculturalism was enshrined in the Charter. Then in the mid-80s a Conservative PM enacted the "Multiculturalism Act".
Now in Canada's large cities it's somewhat amusing to hear people speaking English. Fourth generation Canadians are seen as an amusing relic. Do you eat roasts? Do your parents wear sweaters to dinner and talk about classical music, ha ha ha?
The reality is that in NZ, the hegemony of Anglo Saxon culture refuses to die. The Interfaith dialogue was a fantastic example of that. Also, we never had (much) immigration from Central, Eastern or Southern Europe. We still treat South Africans and Pomps as "one of us".

peterwn – even if Labour holdnm on to their current 30%-ish and cobble together a coalition it will be very difficult for them to be a strong influence. Politics is a numbers game and their numbers are looking weak.
And it's quite possible their vote could collapse. The main factor in their favour is the (lack of) quality of the alternatives on the left and in the centre.

peterwn – "Cynically, one could argue that Armstrong is right. …"
I am even more cynical. If the Green/Internet/Labour/Winston hydra gets in, irrespective of their relative votes, the incompetence of the Labour leadership means that the Greens will be in the driving seat and easily push the coalition of the envious to do what they want. Especially if Norman and Turei are co-Deputy Prime Ministers.

The problem with immigration, and the problem Cunliffe has got himself into, is that the key numbers are not controllable or easily changeable.
Cunliffe has said he won't change immigration refuge commitments or on family grounds. He can't change how many New Zealanders stay or come back. About all that's left to play with is immigrants with skills we need here.
He says he wants a steady, predictable and controlled level of net immigration but there's no way he can make that happen.

Flipper: If Armstrong were a sportsman he would not be averse …..

On the question of road safety .. in my view driving is a full time job and I deplore the modern sealed box with radio blaring or music machine distracting the driver. Years ago I organised a music source "to keep myself awake on long trips into the night after working a normal day" … it didn't help one bit and was a distraction from staying on the road … so my car radio very rarely gets used. Maybe women can multitask but males ? I think not.

NZ First leader Sir Winston Peters has been interviewed by detectives investigating allegations Brendan Horan took money from his late mother's bank account.
It came as Tauranga police confirmed they had stepped up their inquiry into Horan.
Police began assessing the claims after the case was referred to them by the Serious Fraud Office in January. "This assessment is complete and has now moved to an investigation phase being led by Tauranga Criminal Investigation Branch," a Bay of Plenty police spokeswoman said.
Peters refused to discuss his police interview, stating he didn't want to "waste his time" on Horan.
Horan, who was on holiday in the Gold Coast, yesterday said he "wouldn't have a clue" where the investigation is at.
"It just goes on and on and on," he said. "I've been asking the police to hurry up. It's vexatious. I want to know why they're wasting time. It's not getting in the way for me."
Horan denies the allegations and said he looked forward to clearing his name. Peters kicked Horan out of NZ First when news of the allegations broke last year. Horan became an independent MP and will stand in the September election.
I thought Nationals mole was cleared?

I thought that in the Horan situation an independent family audit was found exonerating Horan from Winston's allegations.
The Audit was put forward by the aggrieved family members and found nothing – so what goes –
I suppose Winston and Horan are from different Maori tribes which requires Utu somewhere pre the 1840 love in.

About all that's left to play with is immigrants with skills we need here.
Immigration creates it's own demand for "needed skills"
Only a small proportion of existing migrants address specific skill needs. While it is
difficult to be certain about counterfactuals, key skills shortages could still be addressed
with substantially lower immigration. With lower immigration, labour market flexibility and
possible offsets from reduced emigration would likely play a greater role in addressing
skills pressures.
Relatively little is known about the extent to which immigration, internal migration and emigration are causally linked, and this would be an interesting area for further research, although it is difficult to obtain data about emigrants once they have left the country. While overall, immigration and emigration are both strongly related to the business cycle, the recent experience of Auckland, which attracts a disproportionate share of immigrants but also experiences net outward internal migration, suggests displacement is possible. ]

I have noted with growing despair the xenophobia which is becoming a political commonplace this election cycle. On the left it's about house prices.* But this post is not about racism; it's about development.
O.k people can't be the problem so there must be a solution:
Diversification and specialisation
The object of a regional development policy must be to promote structural change, to create industries and communities that are sustainable in their own right — neither transient nor exhaustible, and which attract people whose commitment is likewise neither transient nor exhaustible. These jobs need to go beyond the traditional churn industries like tourism, hospitality and service; though, of course, these jobs will be needed, they should be incidental to development, not its purpose. They need to be high-value and export-led — unlike, for example, our timber industry, and our wool industry. One of our key advantages here is our reputation for being clean and green — demand for premium food, the safety and quality of which can be assured, and including organic and sustainably-produced, is likely to grow strongly and we seem ill-prepared to meet this opportunity, as just one example. Another example is the potential of Māori business, which is as yet terribly underutilised.
I remember driving a truck, when something difficult needed unloading someone would suggest a sky hook.

I see that RNZ news this morning is presenting as 'news' the fact that one Lucy Lawless supports the Greens' Carbon Tax. Not news, surely, given her propensity for silly and pointless Greeny publicity stunts- it would be a better news to ask her whether she got to the conference on her bike in order to minimise her carbon footprint and if not why not. Hypocrisy seems to be ok if it's from the left, as we have seen this past week from the likes of John Minto et al cosying up for financial reasons to the Internet Party's Sergeant Schultz.
On a more minor RNZ matter. Why is it that when the great and gracious Roger Federer loses in 5 sets at the French Open to an ill-tempered brat does RNZ have to inform us that he was 'dumped' from the Grand Slam. I loathe this type of jockspeak from our publicly-funded radio network. It's tacky.

The women who drove the wrong way down the southern motorway last week and killed an innocent lady needs to be charged with murder. There is no other rational charge for driving that distance in the fast lane towards oncoming traffic. It wasn't a dark country road, 20 cars had to avoid her and were flashing their lights but she kept driving.
I have a sinking feeling however that the judiciary will give her 6 months home detention and 1 year lose of licence.

The Internet Party executive committee could "arrange for membership in a party of which the Internet Party is a component party to be extended to members of the Internet Party, whether automatically, or otherwise."

The thing is with the immigration debate, is that those who benefit most from the status quo, have learned to use the taunt of 'racism' to quell any opposition. No one likes being accused of being racist, so they immediately shut up – and those in favour win by default.
You are right – the matter needs to be discussed for what it is, for what New Zealanders want/expect, and then the lines drawn to decide immigration rates etc.
I fear that the way it is being discussed at present, will simply mean it becomes a matter of 'the election results are a referendum of immigration' – and that is not on – not until all the facts/stats are in, and the matter is discussed a hell of a lot better than simply name calling. Each party needs to make their policy very clear – so that people who think immigration matters, can vote accordingly.

If rationality played any part in this sad incident, the woman that was killed would still be alive.
Clearly the woman that drove on the wrong side of the motorway was not acting rationally. Although she might have made an initial mistake – any rational person would have pulled over and corrected that error. Obviously there was more going on.
To continue to drive was a deliberate act of violence – and needs to be treated accordingly – if a psyche report is required, then so be it.

If an audit had found there was no wrong doing, the Serious Fraud Office would not still be investigating it. In order for them to act, there had to be some suggestion above Winston's fantasizing. The SFO would not have picked up the case on a whim. They may decide there is nothing to answer to as such, but there would have been enough substance to raise suspicion.

He says he wants a steady, predictable and controlled level of net immigration but there's no way he can make that happen.
And yet other countries, such as the USA seem to have found a way to make immigration controllable. Whilst the family thing is worrying, if when you assess the initial applicant, as per qualifications etc, they are asked of their family situation and the possibility of them being joined by family members, the application can be refused at that point.
I took what Cunliffe said to mean that they would not be limiting those that are already here – and wish to import their families, but that future immigration would be stricker?
Personally I would support someone that had the guts to say " if you leave your country and come here – you leave your family behind – don't expect to bring them over later unless you are prepared to pay for ALL their expenses'. If a person is not able to be self sufficient – we don't want them, regardless of what tax their son/daughter might be paying. We have enough Kiwi Hanger-ons.

ahh the chinese are buying all our houses.
5. A piece of the puzzle
As we all know, there is a serious lack of data about "Chinese ownership" of our housing, code for how much of our residential housing stock is owned by foreigners. The Government released some data from IRD records on ownership of rental properties and although it was the latest available, like all IRD data it is not current. But it did not suggest the proportion is high.
There will be many pieces to understanding this puzzle and without them those passionate about the subject will seize of anecdotes to bolster their (generally anti-foreigners-from-non-western-countries) argument.
To add to the factual data, we asked Auckland Council to search their rating records and tell us how many ownership or billing addresses were outside New Zealand. The answer is 1.8% over all types of rated property; raw land, rural, industrial, commercial and residential. We appreciated their reply. This is a summary of the data they supplied:
It is certainly no conclusive answer to the issue. But in the absence of proper details which we urgently need to start collecting, it is another of the available data to add to the mix. But those who think we are being over-run by foreign ownership of our land might want to be prepared for some future proper statistics not backing up their position (just as the LINZ-OIO data detail doesn't).

WTF is wrong with dummies like Bernard Hickey who does economics for a living that he can't get this simple fact through his thick skull. It's not foreign residents that are the only source of the heat in the market, they are minor compared to the following source. It's the number of foreigners with money who are granted residence each and every year who chose to settle and buy property in Akld that is the major source of the heat. There are other sources as well, like the numbers of foreign students on student visas who buy property in Akld. But all the rest are minor compared to the Permanent Residence figure.
Therefore, duh, you're never going to discover anything meaningful by searching for the numbers of non-residents who own property. That's a red herring and you woulda thought someone who does economics for a living like Bernard Hickey might have a clue, but apparently not.
The title was seen as part of the remuneration package for judges, many of whom had to sacrifice much of their income as a result of being on the Bench.
Is it still the case Judges' salaries are tax free? That automatically increases them by 33%, doesn't it. I also have to say, that since law isn't rocket science, if your average 20 year legal veteran is earning many times a judge's salary, they're not worth the fees they charge.

A history of the world from student exam bloopers:
The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.
The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up his twelve sons to be partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.
Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fougth with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines.
Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns – Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable. Achilles appears in "The Illiad", by Homer. Homer also wrote the "Oddity", in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.
In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men.
Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History call people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March killed him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyrany who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them.
Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.
In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote liter- ature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.
The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Vir- gin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself be- fore her troops, they all shouted "hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo.
The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He lived in Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Mac- beth to kill the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife dies and he wrote "Paradise Regained."
During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and the was called the Pilgrim's Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by Indians, who came down the hill rolling their was hoops before them. The Indian squabs carried porposies on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.
One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their pacels through the post with- out stamps. During the War, Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis.
Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented elec- tricity by rubbing cats backwards and declared "a horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
George Washington married Matha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. Them the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.
Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said, "In onion there is strength." Abraham Lincoln write the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also signed the Emasculation Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a sup- posedl insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare invented electricity and also wrote a book called "Candy". Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are flaling off the trees.
Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French Revolu- tion, and it catapulted into Napoleon. During the Napoleonic Wars, the crowned heads of Europe were trembling in their shoes. Then the Spanish gorrilas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon's flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inheret his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn't bear him any children.
The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West. Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years.

Are you certain they've been made by students Mike. They read more like some of the better thought out comments from over at 'The Standard'. 🙂

Allegedly by students, nasska. But it's the internet so anything's possible.

A famous art collector is walking through the city when he
notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the
doorway of a deli and he does a double-take. He recognizes
that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he
walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for
two dollars.
The store owner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale.
The collector says "Please, I need a hungry cat around
the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for
that cat."
The owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder
if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and
it'll save me from having to get a dish."
And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer.
So far this week I've sold sixty-eight stray cats!"

Flowers are the most gracious manner and best of your heart and speak a language understood by all. In today's busy life, it is quite difficult to take time off from your busy schedule to visit your near and dear. They can be used across a broad range of circumstances, from a gift to your partner, through to getting bridesmaid flowers. Flowers can really make your presence felt among your relatives and can fill the void. Flower delivery is the option that can fulfil your dream to stay connected with friends and family after moving. You can order a bouquet of flowers, well decorated and furnished with unique flowers, your parents if you are unable to reach them personally. Really great idea!
Here are tips for getting bridesmaid flowers from a great florist;
Go seasonal – if you want to reduce costs, then go for the flowers that are in season. Buying autumn flowers for weddings means that the flowers will be abundant and therefore cheaper. It also means they are easier and that sufficient supplies can be supplied regardless of the size.
Remember your budget – never go to a wedding flower incursion, unless you have already established a budget for the flowers. Make a list of everything that would require flower decoration, bridesmaids, flower girls and of course – the wedding bouquet. All these elements must be taken into account when considering a budget.
Shelf Life – consider how long can last after the flower was plucked and arranged for the wedding. Nobody wants their flowers to look sad and withered on the big day so make sure you check on flower shelf life.
The language of flowers – another thing that must be considered is the meaning of flowers. Keep in mind that every flower comes with a message: red roses mean "I love you", white roses say "purity" and so on. It is important to find a wedding flower that tells a story or message, depending on what the couple wants to say to the other using the flowers.
Browse bridal magazines – get ideas of different wedding magazines. They highlight some of the best designs and could provide a wide range of possibilities in terms of flowers colours and combinations.
Consider setting – another important factor that most couples seem to forget is the setting of wedding. Will it be a garden ceremony, a church or a wedding on the beach? If the setting is naturally coloured, it is perfectly fine to choose colours that are less brilliant or something that overshadows all other shades. Remember that the goal is to make eye-catching flowers, especially those for the bouquet.
