Please see Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (places)#Places in New Zealand.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 17:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Lakes disambiguation[edit]
Most titles of articles about lakes are disambiguated in the form "Lake name (disambiguator)", e.g. Seneca Lake (New York), in accordance with the convention at WP:LAKES#Multiple lakes with the same name.
A few lakes of New Zealand use the form "Lake name, disambiguator", e.g. Lake Rotoroa, Waikato. For consistency, I'd like to change it to Lake Rotoroa (Waikato) and not the general convention here. Redirects would still be available.
BTW: List of lakes in New Zealand offers a lot a lakes in need of articles. -- User:Docu
- Oppose. As with all other such landforms, national conventions take precedence. The main reason that Seneca Lake (New York) is at that title is because using parentleses is the standard disambiguation convention for the United States. If you check other countries where the standard form of disambiguation is "Landform, Country", you will find that that is used for the lakes as well. Rather than moving the current pages to new titles that would clash with the NZ naming conventions, why not have disambiguation pages at your proposed names, rather than changing the system in use. This is what is done by the rivers WikiProject (as noted at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places)#Place names in New Zealand - there's no reason why the same could not also be done with lakes. Grutness...wha? 23:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Do you have a sample of lakes other than those in New Zealand using that convention? -- User:Docu
- I've only ever seen the comma regularly used with populated place names--geography/landform "place names" (note that Wikipedia:Naming conventions (landforms) is relevant here, not Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places), and the former has no [documented, anyway] 'New Zealand exception') use parenthetical disambiguation in all countries I've ever edited. IMHO it is helpful to have (only) populated places use an exceptional form, to make them easier to distinguish. EG Category:Lakes of Sweden v. Category:Cities in Sweden, Category:Lakes of Russia v. Category:Cities and towns in Leningrad Oblast, Category:Lakes of Chile v. Category:Cities in Chile (I gave up looking for examples in Africa). To the best of my knowledge, the majority of populated place articles use the comma, and an overwhelming majority of landform articles use the parens. Ravenna1961 (talk) 06:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not entirely sure why you think lakes aren't places, and therefore wouldn't be covered by the naming conventions for places. Nor would I regard, for example, English rivers as "populated places", except maybe by fish, despite the fact that - for example - there is River Avon, Hampshire and River Avon, Warwickshire. England also uses the comma to disambiguate lakes, e.g., Little Britain, Buckinghamshire. I don't know of how many countries use a similar system for rivers and lakes, I just know that New Zealand and England clearly do and there are likely to be others, and in cases like these the national conventions take precedence over any worldwide convention for particular landforms, in exactly the same way that national spelling conventions apply for article names - especially when (as it states at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (landforms)) an overall convention is not yet finalised with regards to lakes, whereas it has been used for New Zealand for a considerable time. Grutness...wha? 11:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose. It seems to me that the only justification I can think of for changing the New Zealand naming conventions is that [[Lake Rotoroa (Waikato)|]] is fractionally quicker to type than [[Lake Rotoroa, Waikato|Lake Rotoroa]] when you're editing a page. Now, even as someone who regularly works on New Zealand geography articles, that seems like an incredibly weak and insubstantial reason to do a mass change that violates national conventions. The attempt to justify a change based on enforcing naming conventions for other countries upon New Zealand articles is not a justification at all as it is inconsistent with the principle of respecting national spelling conventions. - Axver (talk) 00:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, [[Lake Rotoroa, Waikato|]] works too.-gadfium 05:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, it does? I wasn't aware of that and I've never seen it used in any of the articles I've edited (or at least I don't recall seeing it). Thanks for letting me know. Well, with that justification gone, then I cannot see any reason to change the New Zealand conventions. - Axver (talk) 08:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment This seems to grow entirely out of proportion. There are about 12 articles about lakes in New Zealand that don't follow the usual convention for lakes "lake name (disambiguator)". Little Britain, Buckinghamshire may be an additional case that just hasn't been corrected, but there are hardly any other lakes than the 12 in New Zealand that are titled different. Some articles use the form "lake name, disambiguator", but this mainly as there are about the locality named for the lake rather than only the lake itself. -- User:Docu
- Reply to comment. I agree that it's grown out of all proportion, especially since all the articles you're complaining about already follow the naming convention for New Zealand lakes perfectly, given that the usual and accepted convention for New Zealand lakes is "Lake name, Disambiguator", as is implicit in the details on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (New Zealand) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places)#Place names in New Zealand. Little Britain, Buckinghamshire seems to follow the convention for the United Kingdom, too (it's used in Scotland as well as England, hence Loch Burn, Watten, for example - which, like Little Britain, directly refers to the body of water, not to some locality named for the lake). The main point remains: if one country uses a specific naming system, then that system is used for that country's articles - exactly the same as when different terms or spellings are used in different countries. If all articles about Britain which use UK English spelling were changed to American spelling, it would offend a lot of people. Instead, local styling is used for such articles, to conform with local naming conventions. Similarly, local styling is used where particular countries have other local naming conventions - like with the way geographical feature articles are named. Grutness...wha? 12:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. As there is no strict policy over-riding national convention and as New Zealand convention is "Lake name, Disambiguator", I too see no good reason to change this. kabl00ey (talk) 07:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
New Zealand categories[edit]
A question more than anything——why do most subcategories of Category:New Zealand people use "New Zealand" instead of "New Zealander" as an adjective, as in Category:New Zealand criminals? If this is a "by nationality" category, shouldn't the demonym be used, which I think is "New Zealander", so shouldn't it be Category:New Zealander criminals. You see Category:French criminals, not Category:France criminals and Category:Canadian criminals, not Category:Canada criminals, so why this? Or has it been agreed that "New Zealand" should be used as the demonym? I'm curious if this has been discussed before. Snocrates 21:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- "New Zealand" is both a noun and an adjective. So there are New Zealand mountains, just as there are French mountains (not "France mountains", because France is not an adjective). In "Category:New Zealand criminals", New Zealand is being used as an adjective, not a demonym. "New Zealander criminals" is similar to "Frenchman criminals"; it's ugly and wrong. -- Avenue (talk) 22:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- That makes sense to me; and you're right that using "New Zealander" in some instances sounds awkward. Thanks! Snocrates 22:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- An added note, "New Zealander" is acceptable as the noun form - in fact it is probably the commonest noun form (other than the slang "Kiwis"). So people from New Zealand are either called "New Zealand people" or "New Zealanders". Grutness...wha? 23:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
What is a place?[edit]
The page is written as if the convention applies to geographical features only. What about buildings, theatres, churches, clubs, societies - does the same convention apply? Schwede66 (talk) 03:39, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- That's a good point. I don't think there's a general convention for any of these things, but the rule of thumb for buildings, urban parks, and streets seems to be "Foo, X", where X is the name of the city or town where these features are (e.g., Moray Place, Dunedin, Athletic Park, Wellington). Clubs and societies, I think, use brackets "Royal Society for Foo (New Zealand)". In both cases there's only dabbing if there's any need to - a building or club which has a unique name worldwide isn't dabbed at all (e.g., Auckland Harbour Bridge, Whare Ra). Grutness...wha? 01:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Lead section[edit]
The article was missing a lead and I've drafted one. Feel free to amend it further - I'm certainly not wedded to the words that I've come up with. I do think, though, that the draft can put this into context with the global policy.
In addition, I've provided a section on how to go about page moves. I hope this is useful. Schwede66 03:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Draft change to conventions[edit]
Following a discussion it is proposed that the New Zealand naming convention be amended as below. The gist of the change is that we will follow the convention used for the majority of countries of disambiguating geographical features via parentheses rather than with a comma. Thus only populated places will remain comma-disambiguated. (level 3 heading substituted here to keep everything in one section)
Place names in New Zealand[edit]
New Zealand place names are written simply as the place name, unless confusion is likely to occur with duplicated names within the country or outside it. It should be noted that in almost all cases the New Zealand Geographic Board includes the type of geographic feature (e.g. Lake, Stream, Island) as part of the name, a proper noun.
This guideline applies to named populated places (cities, towns, suburbs, settlements, stations (large sheep farms)), natural landscape features (including but not limited to lakes, rivers, streams, glaciers, wetlands, headlands, mountains, hills, ranges, plains) and man-made features (dams, roads, railways, parks, mines).
- No disambiguation required – If a New Zealand place name is unique (or likely to be unique) in the world, then it alone is used as the article's title - (for example, Otorohanga). This form is also used if the New Zealand place is not likely to be confused with places with the same name overseas, by virtue of its relative prominence (for example, Dunedin). Confusion has to be likely, not merely possible: for example, Wellington, the capital, is known all over the world, whereas the other 30 or so places with the same name have fairly local significance only.
- Disambiguation required for populated place – For populated places, if confusion is likely with places outside New Zealand, then the format "Placename, New Zealand" is used (for example, Amberley, New Zealand). Suburbs are treated in the same way as towns with regard to their naming.
- Disambiguation required for non-populated place – For geographic features, if confusion is likely with places outside New Zealand, then the format "Placename (New Zealand)" is used, irrespective of the type of location (for example, Mount Hopkins (New Zealand)).
- Disambiguation required for features within populated places – If the places are features of specific cities or towns, such as parks, buildings, or streets, the name of the town or city is used (for example, Stuart Street, Dunedin). This does not apply to suburbs, however, which are treated as populated places in their own right.
- Disambiguation required for more than one NZ place name – Since most places in New Zealand have unique names, the standard convention (where it is necessary to distinguish a place in New Zealand from one elsewhere) is simply to use the form "Placename, New Zealand" or "Placename (New Zealand) (depending on type). In those rare instances where two places in New Zealand have the same name then the following rules are used:
- If both places are the same type of place (e.g., both towns), the official regional names are used (for example, Waiau River (Marlborough) and Waiau River (Southland)). If one or more of the places are in the New Zealand outlying islands, the island (or island group) name is used (e.g., Waitangi, Chatham Islands)
- If the two places are different types of place, then parentheses are used to disambiguate (for example, "Lake Tekapo" and "Lake Tekapo (town)"). (This convention is not formalised, but is general usage on NZ articles in Wikipedia).
(propose any tweaks to the above here) dramatic (talk) 04:40, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Great stuff. I've introduced a bold heading to each of the four main cases, as this gives a faster overview of what each case is all about. In my opinion, it makes it a bit easier to understand the difference between the various scenarios. What do you think?
- And two more thoughts;
- We should take the opportunity to build in the 'What is a place?' discussion above, and
- "Note however that this does not apply to suburbs, which are treated in the same way as towns with regard to their naming." – this sentence doesn't quite fit where it currently is and we could work that information into item number 2. Schwede66 17:45, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Is there any reason other than "most places do it" for changing from the comma system to parentheses? It seems a pretty arbitrary reason for a change - especially since many of the countries most like NZ do not use this system (e.g., the United Kingdom, which uses the "River Foo, England" naming as standard, and several other Commowealth countries do likewise. Furthermore, in general that system is not used in New Zealand in general. Unless anyone can come up with a better reason for doing it than that it seems like a lot of work to change to a system less appropriate for New Zealand, and I'm baffled as to why it should be being considered. I strongly oppose these changes. AFAIK this has not been discussed anywhere and seems to have been rushed through without any attempt and finding out whether this is what is wanted - why is that? Grutness...wha? 11:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Just found the discussion. Great that no-one thought to announce here that there was a discussion somewhere else about changing the naming conventions - a discussion which logically should have been here. Wouldn't it have made more sense to let people who watch this page know that there was a discussion going on about the naming conventions, given that this is the talk page for the naming conventions? :/ Grutness...wha? 11:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- James, apologies for starting this a bit arse-about-face. Its because it started small and grew big, and at the time I was focussed on the WikiProject Rivers naming conventions page rather than here, which I wasn't even watching (I would have thought that more people would be watching WPNZ talk than this page, anyway, so I certainly wasn't trying to hide it).dramatic (talk) 18:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- I guess it would be a good idea to have some conventions in place as to where discussions should be had. I'm happy to draft something when I get round to it. James' sentiment is of course correct; this discussion should have been on this page from the start, and a notice on the WPNZ talk page would have been the appropriate tool to attract the attention of the much larger watchlist that page is likely to have. But hindsight is a marvellous thing, isn't it? Schwede66 21:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think the logic flow is: In general, wikipedia disambiguates by parentheses, with populated places being an exception because many countries regard the region as being part of the common name and because the need to disambiguate towns is very common. Other natural features come under the general rule. Looking at disambiguation pages, it is very obvious that New Zealand is an exception to the rule. So I asked myself "on what grounds?" and really failed to find any. I, too, have had need to disambiguate Waiau River, but I used "the Waiau River in Canterbury" rather than a comma. Similarly, if people feel it is necessary to clarify Shenandoah River as not being the one Glenn Campbell sang about, "Shenandoah River in New Zealand" is a more typical usage than "Shenandoah River, New Zealand". Obviously "in" isn't suitable usage for article titles. Also, there are very few cases of significant features with ambiguous names withing New Zealand (Waiau, Hope -a re there any more?)
- Secondly, there is a benefit in treating towns differently from natural features - it is more evident to anyone familiar with Wikipedia naming that Little River, Mount Cook, Evans Bay and Lake Tekapo are towns rather than natural features. The vast majority of people using Wikipedia have never come across this naming convention page, therefore we are creating an element of surprise. (The reverse effect happened to me - it was the reverting of my move of Alexander River (Western Australia) to what I mistakenly thought was the norm that sparked all this off).
- Lastly, I don't think this will impact search. Many people searching for Hope River or Waiau River will be unaware that there is more than one anyway. They will find a disambiguation page. And if they are aware, I think it is more common to type something like "Waiau River Canterbury" rather than to punctuate it. And don't forget, if we do all these moves, there will still be redirects from the comma versions. dramatic (talk) 18:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- It is worth noting that Wises New Zealand Guide simply has five successive entries "Waiau River" - which is, after all, the name of each one. Also, remember that our choice of disambiguator for multiple occurrences within New Zealand is arbitrary - the Modern-day region. How many people would think of Fiordland rather than Southland for the southernmost Waiau River, or Nelson or Nelson lakes rather than Tasman (a name with very little colloquial usage) for the Hope River? If our disambiguation is merely following a rule, more reason to separate it with parentheses rather than make it look like a natural name. dramatic (talk) 20:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I suppose. I think i was more pissed off with finding out that a discussion was a fait accompli than the change itself. It still seems more natural to me to use the comma, but it does make a certain amount of sense. However, if you're talking of expanding this from just rivers to other features as well (which you seem to be), then some of the discussion in the first item on this talk page is worth taking on board. Ironiocally, I think part of the reason this rule came about was because of the relative lack of need to disambiguate towns in NZ - past governments and people have gone to great lengths to make it unnecessary to disambiguate place names within the country (a problem which still leads to confusion over where the "real" Palmerston is). Multiple suburbs with the same names exist in different cities (e.g., Burnside and West Harbour), but actual towns with the same name in NZ are extremely rare. Given that the comma didn't imply a town name (since there was no town disambiguation required), it was used for pretty near everything. Grutness...wha? 23:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- It certainly isn't a fait accompli. I would happily revert the few pages I moved (West Coast rivers) until this discussion is closed, but I fear it could waste some admin time (some of the redirects have history). dramatic (talk) 07:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- A suggested "tweak" BTW - point 4's last point needs to stand alone and be expanded. It's worth noting that that rule is being used (and a good thing too, IMO) even if its the only place in NZ but still requires dabbing because of places overseas with the same name. We have Logan Park, Dunedin, for instance, even though there are no other Logan Parks in NZ with articles. It's also worth noting that this rule is not used for suburbs. Perhaps this needs to be spelt out in a separate point? if so, I'd move point 4 to point 5 and include a new point 4:
- 4. Disambiguation required for features within populated places – If the places are features of specific cities or towns, such as parks, buildings, or streets, the name of the town or city is used (for example, Stuart Street, Dunedin). This does not apply to suburbs, however, which are treated as populated places in their own right.
- Grutness...wha? 00:08, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- A thought: If the English name of a place which has a dual name is ambiguous (only) with places overseas, are we better to use the dual name than name (New Zealand)? We already do this at Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua (vs Quarantine Island), and if we had articles on them we would certainly need to disambiguate the NZ versions of Pig Island and Pigeon Island. I think this would be good for natural features, but that Riverton, New Zealand (the sole case with a town AFAIK) should stay where it is. dramatic (talk) 01:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- Good question. That one will need thinking about. by the way - I hope no-one minds - I added a brief explanation of what happens if one of the dabbed places is not in a region (i.e., in the outlying islands) to point 5. It rarely arises, but it's better to have it codified. Grutness...wha? 09:16, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well I've discovered that we already have a reasonable number of articles at the dual name. Incidentally, as part of his cleanup of my list article, Avenue actually read through the full 98 pages of the NZGB Framework and found that dual names should have spaces surrounding the slash. I think that this makes them much easier to read, especially if either name itself contains multiple words. It also look smuch less like a sub-article. I've moved a few pages, but noticed that Aoraki / Mount Cook redirects to Aoraki/Mount Cook. dramatic (talk) 10:54, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Draft addition to conventions[edit]
Dual and alternative place names[edit]
Since the 1980s, the New Zealand Geographic Board has changed the names of a number of New Zealand places to include the original Māori name of the place as well as the European name used for the last 100-200 years. Many of these renamings have been the result of Treaty of Waitangi claim settlements. The revised names take two forms:[1]
- Dual names consist of an English name and a Māori name separated by a slash, e.g. Stewart Island / Rakiura. The dual form must be used in official documents, but otherwise people are free to use English name, Māori name or the dual form. Dual names are seldom, if ever, used in speech, but their use in written communication is gaining acceptance. Note that some early dual names used an English (Māori) River format. Many, but not all, of these have since been renamed to the slash format. Articles should be listed at Wikipedia:Articles with slashes in title#Dual_place_names_in_New_Zealand to help distinguish them from subpages.
- Alternative names have two forms with equal weight, e.g. Wanganui and Whanganui. People are expected to use one or the other but not both together. (In the case of Whanganui and Wanganui, the decision included a directive that Government bodies would use Whanganui, but this is not usually the case.)
- Changed names - there are a few instances where the Geographic Board have changed the name of a place, generally from an English name to a Māori one, without creating a dual or alternative name.
Convention for dual and alternative names[edit]
- Dual names. If there are sources which indicate that a dual name has usage beyond mandatory official usage,
we shouldput the article at the dual name, with redirects from each of the component names. The redirects may require disambiguation, but it is highly unlikely that the dual name will be ambiguous. The date of renaming should be noted and sourced in the article. Links to the article need not use the dual name unless it is appropriate, and the dual name should not be used where historically inaccurate (e.g. a historical reference prior to the renaming). If sources do not support use of the dual name, the English name will almost certainly be the one in common usage.
- Alternative names: The article should be placed at the name which reliable sources indicate has more common usage. Considerable weight should be given to recent sources, since it often takes a good ten years after a renaming for a usage pattern to be established.
Care should be taken toDisregard sources which use names erroneously (e.g. "Taranaki/Mt Egmont"). A redirect should be created for the name which is not used as the article title. If one name would require disambiguation while the other would not, the non-ambiguous name may be preferred. The date of renaming should be noted and sourced in the article. Links to the article may use whichever name is appropriate in the context.
- Changed names: The article should be placed at the name which recent reliable sources indicate has more common usage. Thus an article may be moved some years after a name is changed, reflecting a change in usage. The fact of the change should be prominently mentioned and referenced in the article.
Suggest tweaks and changes here. dramatic (talk) 05:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- To start with, I'd suggest a few copyediting tweaks to the proposed conventions:
- Delete "We should" from the first sentence in (1).
- Delete "Care should be taken to" from the third sentence in (2).
- In the fourth sentence in (2), change "not used" to "less commonly used".
- I've also made a few minor changes to punctuation etc that I hope are uncontroversial.
- The preamble seems to imply that official place names never change from a English name to a Māori one, but only to a dual or alternate form. This is not correct; sometimes the Māori name does replace the English version. (For example, Whale Island -> Moutohora Island.) We should cover this possibility too. --Avenue (talk) 09:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Do you think we should make it a third case (possibly putting it before the others since it is the simplest?) I would suggest that Wikipedia's name change would come some time after the official change once the new usage has been established according to sources. We also have some oddities in Alternative naming, such as Otututu (Rough) River. dramatic (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, describing it as a separate case is probably clearest. I agree with you about following usage, and not immediately reflecting the official name (although the official name should be mentioned in the article). And this is a separate point, but yes, we should acknowledge dual naming oddities briefly. --Avenue (talk) 13:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- For your third bullet point, what I meant was the alternative name which we don't use as the primary name for the article. Evidently this needs some clearer phrasing. dramatic (talk) 22:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

- Should we mention macrons in Māori names here, or at least refer to the existing guideline on their use? --Avenue (talk) 09:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- We probably should - I think it would be wrong to Anglicise Dual names which contain macrons by dropping the macrons, although creating a redirect from the macronless version would be helpful.dramatic (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Our existing guideline treats macrons in dual names differently from those in standalone Māori names. Personally I'm inclined towards maintaining consistency with that. There are also some dual names where both parts include macrons (e.g. Mahināpua Creek/Tūwharewhare, not that we have an article for that yet, and Lake Ōkataina/Te Moana i kataina ā Te Rangitakaroro), which makes things even more complicated. --Avenue (talk) 13:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- There are relatively few single names containing macrons, and the board would appear to have a policy of avoiding putting macrons in the official name of populated places (or if proposed, these receive sufficient objections to be rejected). Some places, e.g. Hue tē Taka Peninsula have no previous English name. Our policy is to use an English spellings of Māori names if sources exist for their common use: WP:COMMONNAME. I would say that for dual names there is no English version, hence we use the macrons. Mahināpua Creek/Tūwharewhare, is certainly an oddity! The village is still Mahinapua, and I know that the local pronunciation is Mahinəpua (if you'll excuse my Heath-Robinson phonetics).

Railway stations?[edit]
I note that almost all NZ articles on railway stations take the titular form "Foo Railway Station". Other countries seem to use "Foo railway station". Is this a deliberate thing, and if so should it be mentioned on this page? Grutness...wha? 10:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- I have the gazetteer open in another tab at this moment, and yes, railway stations (and some Post Offices) have been named by the Geographic Board including the Railway Station bit as a proper noun. dramatic (talk) 04:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
This is the code behind our convention for adding Maori names to geographical infoboxes:
In the infobox of a geographical article, the usual name is given first, followed by the Māori name as follows:
:<center><big>'''English Name'''</big></center>
:<center><big>'''''Māori Name''''' (''[[Māori_language|Māori]]'')</big></center>
I just want to remove any ambiguity here. The <big> tags and the <center> tags - are they part of the convention or not. The centering should be already coded into the various templates, so it's probably redundant anyway. But is the intended effect of the <big> tags that the Maori and non-Maori names are the same size, rather than that they must all be big, since it's probably better to let the template coding decide the size? If that's what's intended then maybe we could spell that out Kahuroa (talk) 19:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Does usage trump convention?[edit]
Recently I moved the article on our highest mountain to Aoraki / Mount Cook, which follows both our naming convention and the recommendation of the New Zealand Geographic Board: "For the sake of clarity and ease of identification, a visible space is encouraged on each side of the forward slash of a dual name." NZGB policy framework, page 41.
This was reverted without discussion to Aoraki/Mount Cook by Article editor (talk · contribs) on the basis that the NZGB Gazetteer does not use spaces. (The Topographic Map (sheet BX15) does appear to include a space before the slash - but there is a line break following the slash). It would appear that the 93 place names which were changed by the Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 have been gazetted without spaces, since they were written that way in the Act. (I read somewhere that the NZGB were unhappy with the Act, as it also (in most cases) ignored their Māori-name-first policy). A Google test of usage is not possible, since Google ignores whitespace and the slash. As with many dual names, there are a wide range of misuse variants (e.g. Mount Aoraki/Cook), making it harder to determine what the most common usages are.
The NZGB policy does not say that an exception should be made for Act-specified names, so should we? dramatic (talk) 01:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- My 2 cents... The NZ Geographic Board should be taken with a grain of salt. I think "Convention" is usage despite what the NZGB has us believe. More too the point - English is English so what the NZGB has to say on how I should write a space is completely irrelevant. If it makes sense, it should be used. If one has to be official, then it is the Act. Whether the NZGB is happy with that means little. FlyingKiwi (talk) 08:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- In terms of what makes sense (which seldom holds sway here), I think that spaces make the names far more readable, and less likely to be confused with subpages. dramatic (talk) 10:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- I can agree with that. FlyingKiwi (talk) 13:12, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- In terms of what makes sense (which seldom holds sway here), I think that spaces make the names far more readable, and less likely to be confused with subpages. dramatic (talk) 10:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- The gazetteer seems to show the orthography of the dual names as they were gazetted. According to the gazetteer, the last three dual names gazetted (from 2010 and late 2009) all had spaces around the slash, and no earlier names did. So the NZGB now seem to be acting in line with their recommendation. Of course, the recommendation applies to all dual names with slashes, not just the three gazetted since late 2009. (BTW, the recommendation is on page 41 of the linked document, not 43 as it said above. I've taken the liberty of correctly that.)
- I agree that it's difficult to establish the weight of common usage for the orthography of these dual names, so I don't think we should try to decide our orthography on that basis. Better to agree on either a convention, or on a particular source that we should follow. The NZGB has given us one of each. I'm not aware of a more authoritative source of official names than the gazetteer, and there's no point trying to devise a new convention when the NZGB's one seems sensible enough.
- So I see our choice as whether we follow the New Zealand Geographic Board's current practice or the orthographies they officially gazetted. We currently follow the officially gazetted order of names, e.g. Stewart Island / Rakiura, even where this clashes with the NZGB's current naming practice, and I believe that's still appropriate. However, I see simplicity and consistency of orthography as more important than being formally correct, so I think it would be best to simply follow the New Zealand Geographic Board's current practice on orthography, and include spaces around the slash. --Avenue (talk) 11:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Me again, is their a possibility of an alternate to slashes, such as Stewart Island (Rakiura) ?? FlyingKiwi (talk) 13:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
This discussion seems to have stalled. Perhaps a vote will clarify whether there's some consensus. I think three options have been considered above. --Avenue (talk) 09:23, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Include spaces around a slash[edit]
- Support. Following the NZGB's recommendation and current orthographic practice makes sense to me, for the reasons I gave above. --Avenue (talk) 09:23, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support - it's consistent, it complies with policy, it's easy to read and requires no further research.dramatic (talk) 11:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support Simply because its clearer to read, and makes better sense. FlyingKiwi (talk) 11:11, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Use the officially gazetted orthography[edit]
Follow common usage[edit]
Admin help required[edit]
Interestingly, the article uses Mount Hopkins (New Zealand) as an example of naming conventions for unpopulated places, but it redirects to Mount Hopkins, New Zealand. This was changed in 2004 as a copy paste move. Could an admin please move the article and combine the edit histories? Schwede66 07:54, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Naming convention for schools[edit]
If I apply the naming conventions, case 4 is applicable, isn't it. Going by that, what is currently named St. Andrew's College (New Zealand) should really be St. Andrew's College, Christchurch, but not St. Andrew's College, New Zealand. Without reading up on it, I would have thought it's the last case. Can you confirm that we do want to do this as per what I've said above? If the answer is 'yes', I propose to amend the description for case 4 to read "... features of specific cities or towns, such as parks, buildings, schools or streets, the name ..." (emphasis added by me). Schwede66 11:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- Could an admin please move Carmel College (New Zealand) to Carmel College, Auckland over a redirect? Schwede66 17:56, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Done-gadfium 19:17, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Naming convention for suburbs[edit]
When disambiguation required for more than one NZ place name, and both places are the same type of place, the naming conventions tell us that we should use the official regional name as a dab. This makes sense when we are dealing with rivers or towns. It doesn't necessarily make sense if we are dealing with suburbs. Case in point is Lansdowne, Wellington, which is a suburb of Masterton. Not that you would know that from the dab; it implies that it's a suburb of Wellington. Schwede66 08:28, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Given that nobody appears to have any problems with that (logical) change, I shall go ahead and implement that change. Schwede66 21:56, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

"Gay" really does mean "happy"! The University of Montreal published the findings of a study they did in the current issue of Psychosomatic Medicine that addresses some differences between gays and straights when it comes to happiness and stress management. They studied 87 of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual Canadians and found that the queer members of their study that had come out of the closet to family and friends "have less anxiety, depression, and burnout" than those who hadn't. To add to that, the study's leader (Robert-Paul Juster) said that as a group, out gay and bisexual males "were less likely to be depressed than heterosexual men and had less physiological problems than heterosexual men." These findings were also published on U.S. News.
Juster concludes from their findings that coming out is good for many reasons. "Our research suggests coming out of the closet has some health benefits," says Robert-Paul Juster, the study's lead author. "Coming out is no longer a matter of popular debate, but a matter of public health."
They're not gay, they just like Glee… or so they say. Hilarious duo, Chris Nester and Brian Sturgill star in this hilariously homoerotic music video about guys who like Glee. When I was in the closet as a teenager, I definitely didn't tell people that I had two of the Backstreet Boys albums hidden in a drawer in my room. In my mind, that would have been a dead give away that I was gay. I wonder if I would have been secretive about watching Glee if it was on while I was in high school. I guess I'll never know.
Nester makes some good points, as he raps in the song – I mean, why is he gay just because he watches the musical comedy? Well, maybe because there's a little more to the story. Nester raps, "Hanging out late, with my best homie / Just broke up with his girlfriend, feeling kinda lonely / So we drink some wine, and we watch some Glee / and we held hands, strictly platonically." From there, their relationship only escalates…but it's totally not gay. LOL. I hope you enjoy the video below as much as I did.
The girls & gays have their anthem(s), but what about the "straight" guys? This is a hilarious video released a few days ago dedicated to all things for straight guys. The lyrics follow a straight guy who grew up in the gay capital, San Francisco, and how he had to hide the fact that he was straight, and so on.
The video is actually pretty brilliant and quite entertaining. About time the "straight guys" came up with a video/parody themselves. It's a nice change of pace. Lady Gaga at the MTV VMA's: "And thank you to the gay for remaking the Bad Romance video over and over again."

Baker to leave position at end of the month
Published: Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 20, 2008 at 10:22 p.m.
Nearly two years ago, Denise Baker landed her dream job when she was named director of Henderson County Cooperative Extension.
But she recently had to make a difficult choice, stepping down from the position so she could take the director position in Yancey County in order to be closer to her family.
I planned to stay until September, Baker said. I was going to retire, but instead I am going to work.
Baker spent most of her career in the northern mountains of North Carolina. She earned a bachelors degree in adult education from North Carolina State University and took a job in 4-H at the extension office in Mitchell County.
I loved it, Baker said. I loved working with the youth.
When she started in extension, 4-H was a stepping stone to other positions within the organization.
Now you have people who come in as youth professionals and make a whole career, Baker said.
She said people have the wrong perception about 4-H. Many believe it only involves livestock, including her father when she was a young girl.
My father would never let me join because he thought you needed a calf, Baker said. I still hear that today.
4-H has many programs, Baker said, including computer science and aerospace engineering. The programs are designed to help youth learn quality life skills, she said.
As Baker moved up through the ranks at extension, she always eyed a position in Henderson County. The strong agriculture economy makes it the ideal place for extension, she said.
I have always wanted to come to Henderson County, Baker said, adding, One of the things that brought me here was when I was a young agent was the 4-H program.
She interviewed for the head position two years ago and a dream was fulfilled. It was her first director position, and she wanted to guide the organization into the future.
I was really excited because I thought Henderson County was a good place to be at this stage in my career, Baker said. I thought I could give back in a leadership roll.
Since joining extension, the organization has changed. Agriculture is not the main sector of the economy in North Carolina, and the organization has evolved. Baker said many residents do not know about home economics and the other non-agricultural aspects of extension.
Extension has always tried to focus on the issues with families, Baker said. We provide youth and adult skills ... As a family goes through dealing with financial issues because of the cost of energy and inflation, I want them to know extension has resources.
One of the key projects Baker took on at Henderson County Extension was a reevaluation of the organizations goals. Extension did a needs assessment survey and talked with people. When everything was tallied, the organization came up with its top priorities. The number one goal is to keep agriculture profitable and promote land preservation and stewardship. The second is promoting health and wellness and the third is enhancing educational excellence.
Agriculture does provide a strong economic base, and so many businesses are tied to agriculture, Baker said.
The position in Yancey County was a good opportunity, Baker said.
It puts us closer to my family and my husbands work puts him closer to Boone, Baker said. It will work well for me.
Bakers last day is June 30. She said she will miss Henderson County and all the great people she has worked with and met.
I have loved it here, working with the people in the agriculture community, community groups, the 4-H group, extension and community associates, Baker said. There are lot of volunteer groups that work with cooperative extension. It will be one of the highlights of my career.

I love the idea that they are making fish soups with sustainable fish (I'm really focusing on that now) so I'm glad they are trying (esp. the lobster bisque, sounds so good). I've been drinking the Aloe juice for a few years now in NYC, it's really good but too high in sugar to have regularly. Really aloe isn't sweet so they have to add tons of sugar. Mostly I find it in the Asian markets near me. Still really yummy to have every now and again.
Hi, can I please have your job? Thanks.

Roxio has announced a patch for its Easy CD Creator Platinum CD burning software to relieve a bug that can take down Windows 2000. The update can be downloaded from http://www.roxio.com/ecdc501s.html Initial reports on many technology news Web sites suggest that the bug can prevent Windows 2000 Professional from booting, bringing up the famous 'Blue Screen of Death' during boot and requiring a full re-install of the OS. These reports place at the heart of the problem a conflict between Windows 2000, Iomega's Zip drive software and the Take Two, the recovery module of Easy CD Creator.

Pittsford man hurt in crashSeptember 17,2013POULTNEY — A Pittsford man was hospitalized following a car crash Monday morning.
State Police said Edward V. Dupont, 18, was driving south on Route 30 when he lost control of his 2001 Toyota Corolla just north of Ward Road.

Travel Nurses Enjoy American Traveler's Florida Spring Gala
American Traveler has the utmost appreciation and regard for its nationwide workforce; recently, we honored our Sunshine State travel nurses with a Florida Spring Traveler Appreciation Party. It was a special evening for our travel nurse agency, because it allowed us to thank both our working professionals in Florida nursing jobs, as well as members of our corporate staff.
Travel Nurse Jobs in Florida are About Sun and Fun!
Florida travel nursing jobs reveal the true meaning of "another day in paradise." Nursing jobs on the Gulf Coast allow for convenient access to Sanibel Island and Captiva while South Florida travel nurse jobs in Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach and other east coast Florida cities make it easy to day cruise to the Bahamas, the Caribbean and U.S. Virgin Islands. There's so much to do and see as a Florida travel nurse you'll keep coming back for more!
We invite travel nurses in all 50 states to click the video link and see pictures of their colleagues kicking up their heels in Florida. It was a night of sharing stories and fun from the nursing career path, over cheese & crackers, pizza, sandwiches and more. Camaraderie hung in the Spring air, thanks to our mix of impressive professionals, ranging from R.N.s new to travel nursing and on a first assignment, to Travelers logging ten years and counting with the company. More fun ensued when guests flirted with the chance to win an iPad2 for referring a qualified friend.
Vice President of Company Recruitment, Mary Kay Hull, was impressed by the high morale at the March party, which put "a spring" in every guest's step. She later commented: "It was so nice to meet so many of our Travelers and to spend time socializing and getting to know them. Hearing about their various geographic and career backgrounds made for a very interesting evening. We very much appreciate all that they do. We are so proud to have them represent us."
Mary Kay has expressed American Traveler's sentiments exactly. Since Spring is the season of new beginnings and moving forward, we felt lucky to assemble our amazing Florida travel nurses and encourage them to keep up the good work! As a premiere travel nurse agency, it is our constant goal to continue striving, improving and exceeding the standard in all 50 states! Check out our travel nurse jobs, generous benefits and handsome referral bonuses! Apply online or call 1-800-884-8788 today!

Rescue crews are working after a monstrous tornado barreled through the Oklahoma suburbs, demolishing an elementary school and reducing homes to piles of splintered wood. Officials say at least 24 people were killed in Monday's twister, including at least 7 children. Those numbers are expected to climb. The center of the devastation is in Moore, a community of 41,000 people 10 miles south of Oklahoma City. More than 120 people were being treated at hospitals, including about 50 children. Spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office said Tuesday that there could be as many as 40 more fatalities from Monday's tornado.

Platforma Messenger Bag for iPad
Price: $170
Strotter's unusual Platforma Messenger Bag for iPad is basically a high quality carrying case that can be converted to a sort of desktop that dangles from your neck and enables you to use your tablet without holding it in your hands. If you're actually a messenger running around town on a bike or motorcycle, you might use the added functionality of the desktop, but I suspect most people will simply enjoy the Platforma because of its high grade leather, it's quality hardware, its small but useful dimensions, and its attractive appearance.

Staff Bag
Company: Levenger
Price: $79.00
Macworld|iWorld Expo was fast approaching and I needed a bag for the six hour plane ride and to carry in San Francisco. I didn't want a backpack because they tend to be too bulky, and I knew I would be constantly banging into displays and innocent people on the show floor. I wanted something I could wear across the front of my body, with easy access to my iPhone and mic.
When the Levenger Staff Bag arrived in the mail for me to review shortly before Macworld I realized I had a win-win situation. The Staff Bag was exactly what I was looking for, and Macworld|iWorld would be the perfect place to put the bag through its paces.

The Thule 15″ Crossover Messenger Bag Won't Disappoint
Company: Thule
Price: $89.95 USD
As a high school science teacher for the past 18 years, I've had the opportunity to try out a number of bags to carry the myriad of papers, laptops, iPads, and books back and forth to school each day. I put these bags through their paces and I've seen some pretty decent bags and some pretty awful ones too. When Thule sent me their 15″ Crossover Messenger Bag, I could tell right away that it was built with quality and durability in mind. I've been using the bag for most of the past school year and it still looks like a brand-new bag.

Example: I have a Level-1 page and a Level-2 page child of Level-1. When I create a new page as draft inside Level-2, let's call it Level-3, I got the wrong permalink
instead of
However, after saving the page and reloading it, the permalink goes right as it should, so it's only a transient problem.
This also happens for deeper levels, i.e.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Showing results 1-27 of 27
Batman and Robin Eternal #26
"Batman and Robin Eternal" #26 wraps up the latest weekly Batman series, but James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder and a host of artists have curiously little tension here.
|March 31st, 2016
Batman and Robin Eternal #3
Tim Seeley throttles back the pace of James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder's story, but excellent and realistic art by Paul Pelletier and company make "Batman and Robin Eternal" #3 nice to look at when there isn't a lot going on.
|October 23rd, 2015
Superman: Lois and Clark #1
Tumbling out of "Convergence," Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks' "Superman: Lois and Clark" #1 blends a "What If. . .?" concept into the current DC Universe.
|October 19th, 2015
Batman and Robin Eternal #2
The Bat Family must deal with mysterious assassins sent to kill them all in Tim Seeley, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Paul Pelletier's "Batman and Robin Eternal" #2.
|October 16th, 2015
Batman #44
Scott Snyder, Brian Azzarello, Jock and Lee Loughridge flash back to just after "Zero Year" for "Batman" #44, as Batman learns a hard lesson even as Mr. Bloom lurks in the shadows.
|September 10th, 2015
Convergence #1
"Convergence" #1 looks great with art from Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz, but Jeff King and Scott Lobdell's story is a dull (if presumably necessary) setup for the rest of the miniseries to kick off.
|April 8th, 2015
Deathstroke #2
"Deathstroke" #2 has some beautiful art from Tony S. Daniel, but the storytelling feels very lopsided, either all-action or all-exposition, and nothing in-between.
|November 26th, 2014
Deathstroke #1
Tony S. Daniel pulls double-duty, writing and drawing Slade Wilson and company in "Deathstroke" #1.
|October 22nd, 2014
Superman/Wonder Woman #3
Wonder Woman just wants her and Superman to have a nice Christmas, but Charles Soule and Tony S. Daniel put a little General Zod under the tree in "Superman/Wonder Woman" #3.
|December 11th, 2013
Harley Quinn
Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's script for "Harley Quinn" #0 is slight, but deliberately so; they're letting the art do the heavy lifting, and more importantly it succeeds in this deliberately silly comic.
|November 20th, 2013
Superman/Wonder Woman #2
Superman and Wonder Woman prepare themselves for an imminent new threat that brings them up against Superman's past and Wonder Woman's family in Charles Soule and Tony S. Daniel's "Superman Wonder Woman" #2.
|November 18th, 2013
Nightwing Annual #1
"Nightwing Annual" #1 falls victim to the "pick the least likely suspect" game of guessing who the bad guy is, but Kyle Higgins, Jason Masters and Daniel Sampere turn out an otherwise pleasant comic.
|October 31st, 2013
Batman/Superman #4
"Batman/Superman" #4 brings the first storyline to a conclusion, and Greg Pak, Jae Lee and Ben Oliver's story looks great but has a slightly predictable conclusion.
|October 17th, 2013
Superman/Wonder Woman #1
"Superman/Wonder Woman" #1 by Charles Soule and Tony S. Daniel works better as a straightforward superhero team-up than as a love story and is padded with full page illustrations, but this first issue will make readers want more.

Andy Diggle and Tony S. Daniel jump onboard "Action Comics" #19 and make a nice debut, except Diggle also unfortunately makes this both his first and last issue of "Action Comics."
|April 4th, 2013
Justice League #14
Geoff Johns and Tony S. Daniel conclude their Cheetah story in "Justice League" #14, but it's Johns and Gary Frank whose "Shazam!" story ultimately compels a bit more.
|November 23rd, 2012
Justice League #13
Geoff Johns and Tony S. Daniel try to make an argument that the Cheetah is a foe worthy of battling the League in "Justice League" #13, but the end result falls just short. Maybe she should call the rest of the Legion of Doom.
|October 19th, 2012
Detective Comics Annual #1
Tony S. Daniel's last issue as writer of "Detective Comics" is this year's Annual, but as he wraps up the return of the Black Mask, the story feels somewhat unsuited to the format.

GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. -- Bid packages for the Highway 289 extension project are complete and ready to be sent out. Grayson County officials say the projected is expected to cost just over $40 million.
Starting Thursday, the packages, which consist of thousands of pages, will be sent out to at least ten different contractors around the state.
Officials say the project will go to one contractor only and will be sublet after that.
The extension goes from Highway 56 North to Highway 120 in Pottsboro.

We were just about to make a reservation at Cypress House when I came across a very negative recent review that basically said that the place has greatly deteriorated since ownership changed hands -poor upkeep, etc.. Other reviews were glowing and the photos seemed good (they always do) and the location was where we wanted. I know that reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt and there are those who get paid for writing both positive and negative reviews.
So my question is, is there anyone in Fodorland that has recent knowledge of this place and can advise? There were other B&B type places that were also attractive but only serve continental breakfast which does not work if one is looking for gluten free.
Another possibility is Curry Mansion - it is at the very top of our price range. Does anyone have personal knowledge of that place?
BTW the Fodorite advice given me for my son's Key West trip was spot on.

We always stay at Casa Marina-not in town tho.

I'd advise you to go back to trip advisor, but instead of reading reviews, go to the Key West forum. There are several destination experts who live in Key West and LOTS of regular posters who travel there frequently.
Report Abuse
I haven't stayed there for quite a few years -- when it was an all gay property.
But I just looked at the Trip Advisor reviews. There are a couple of very similar negatives mentioning and discussing "it isn't what it used to be", but ironically all those reviews are either single postings or in one case the first posting by a new person who then added three other Keys posts a month later. Sorry, but those are signs of disgruntled former employees or something else. I'm always suspect when a supposed "major traveler" posts a negative review, but has never ever stayed anywhere else worth writing a review on -- good or bad? The reviews posted by people who post many reviews of various places all seem to be pretty glowing!
I will say, I always loved the "feel" and the location of Cypress House.
Report Abuse
Cypress House changed ownership around the first of January. The new owners promptly managed to get rid of, I'm not sure how, the long time manager, (also King of Fantasy Fest this year, Dave Taylor).
We've stayed at Cypress House for years. By far our favorite place in Key West. The location is perfect. The rooms are decent. The breakfast was very good, and the daily Happy Hour was legendary.
My understanding is the new owners have done some major renovations to the rooms.
I understand the breakfast isn't as extensive, and the Happy Hour is pretty much a joke.
That said, if you've never stayed there, and don't know how much fun it was before, I'm guessing you'll have a great time.
I suspect that at least some of the negative reviews have been written by people who have been long time visitors and they aren't at all happy with the changes.
I'm pretty sure we won't return. That said, if we'd never been, it would be high on my list.
The most extensive breakfast I've found at a B&B in Key West was at Coco Plum Inn. It's on Whitehead, so a busy street, but, we heard nothing once we got in our room. Good thing, since it's so close to the Green Parrot......

Thanks for the replies. Cypress House sounded very interesting - thank you JeanH for the update. Unfortunately, we have a reward night from Hotels.com to use and it turned out that Cypress was not on the list where we could use it. Choosing from those on the list, we chose Lighthouse Court mainly because I know exactly where it is and like that location. It had pretty good reviews as well.
Report Abuse
if your choice of Lighthouse Court doesn't work out, consider www.historickeywestinns.com

Thanks garyt22 - Actually, Lighthouse Court is in their group. The location is directly across the street from the Hemingway home.
Report Abuse
That seems really weird that Lighthouse Court would be ok, but, Cypress House wouldn't, since they're not part of the same group.
I like the looks of Lighthouse Court, although I've not stayed there, just went to a Kelly McGuire concert by the pool one year.
Report Abuse
Jean, Hotels.com has two different types of listings. One where they charge you upfront, the other where they make the (supposedly) discounted reservation for you but you pay the hotel directly. Only the former are eligible for their rewards program and Lighthouse Court is one of those. Cypress is part of the latter group.
Report Abuse
Thanks for clearing that up. We're not going to Key West this year, I'm sort of sad. But, heading to Bonaire, so that will be fun.

Siva Tau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Siva tau)
The Manu Siva Tau is a Samoan war dance, performed by the Samoa's sporting teams before each match.
The national rugby union team used to perform the traditional 'Maulu'ulu Moa' on tour. Prior to the 1991 World Cup, the 'Manu' war chant was composed, it was considered to be more effective at psyching up players.
The national Australian rules football team performs the Siva Tau at its International Cup appearances.
In WWE, The Usos perform the Siva Tau as part of their ring entrance.[1]
The Toa Samoa national rugby league team also perform the Siva Tau before each match.

Kirstie Alley has fallen to the ballroom floor and endured jabs about her weight from George Lopez.
But this star wants everyone to know she'll keep on dancing. And she putting it in ink.
After Alley and pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy tumbled on Monday night's live show, Alley joined Cheryl Burke and others from Dancing with the Stars for a waltz over to L.A.'s Wilcox Tattoo.
There, a smiling Alley had the word "Unbroken" tattooed on her wrist.
"Party girl? not so much tonight..." she later Tweeted. "BUT I did get a tattoo and I love it....and I had fun...in the end this turned into a magical night."

We adore this simple preparation -- it is now our default side dish when we dine asian. The first time I steamed it in a skillet, but subsequently I steam it in a pot because it's easier for me.
Very good! Loved the flavors of the sesame oil, lemon & soy sauce and the vegetables. I ate the broccoli while my DH ate the peppers. Made for "Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game (Nov '08 - Dec '09)."
So simple and quick to make. So very tasty. So healthy. What more could you ask. Thnx for posting. Adopted for Spring 2008 PAC.

Groundwater quality in the Santo Domingo Irrigation District area in Baja California Sur, Mexico, indicates the presence of various salinization processes, (1) the geological matter of marine origin comprising the aquifer material suffers diagenetic effects due to its interaction with groundwater of low salinity, (2) the effects of intensive agriculture practices produce effluents that infiltrate to the saturated zone, and (3) the extraction of groundwater causes modifications in the natural flow system induces lateral flow of seawater from the coast line. However, groundwater management has been carried out with the belief that the latter is the main source of salinization. This has resulted in a policy of installing wells increasingly far from the coast, which is not solving the problem. Irrigation-return and seawater that remains in the geological units have been identified as major sources of salinization. Controls should be imposed when installing wells in contact with clayey units that form the base of the aquifer. Extracted groundwater consists of a mixture of (1) groundwater of relatively low salinity that circulates in the aquifer and (2) an extreme member with salinity different to seawater contained mainly in formations that have low permeability, which limits the aquifer underneath. The geochemistry of carbonates and cation-exchange reactions (both direct and reverse) control the concentration of Ca, Mg, Na, and HCO3, as well as pH values. The concentrations of dissolved trace elements (F, Li, Ba, Sr) suggest that the extreme saline member is different from the average seawater composition. A distinction between the salinization caused by farming practices and that blamed on seawater is defined by the use of NO3.

More than 24,000 hectares of land was subdivided into around 500 blocks for pineapple growing. However, Ms Wood said the blocks were too small and the region wasn't suited to growing pineapples.
