Sarah Hayward and Stripes: The Mystery Circus
As a theatre student in Montreal, Sarah Hayward saw a performer "balancing backwards, singing like Yoko Ono, and operating the light board with his toes." That's when she knew she wanted to write a one-woman show.
Years later, the result is Stripes: The Mystery Circus, a show about a woman who wants to run away from her regular life and join the circus.
"It begins with Polly Hymnia (the Greek muse of song)," says Hayward. "She's prepared audition pieces for all the different circus roles: Ring Master, Escape Artist, Juggler, and Bearded Lady. She's determined!"
And so is Hayward, who says she'd been auditioning for traditional theatre roles for years. Many of them she got. Her first professional role was Guildenstern in a Vancouver production of The Haunted House Hamlet.
"The audience could follow you around, so you'd have to think of extra things to do—like sonnets in the washroom. I did a mad scene and started to peel off layers of clothing. My brother was stuck in a doorway. His worst fear is of getting trapped. And he's been squeamish about theatres ever since."
Rather than something she tries to escape, Hayward's "regular" life, which includes her job at the Vancouver Public Library, never seems to stop fueling her already fertile imagination. As she shelves plays and literature, she's always finding things that inspire her.
"It reminds me of all the great books I can mine for material," she says. "I like the environment—quiet, soothing to the soul. I go home with a huge pile of books."
Another source of inspiration was the Cassandra Project, named for the figure from Greek mythology, who was given the gift of prophecy but then cursed so no one would believe her.
"The Cassandra Project was a 15 person social theatre research collective, made up of teachers, actors and voice coaches, who interviewed people about their own Cassandra experience," explains Hayward. "Everyone seems to have one, a time when they spoke the truth and no one believed them. Then we wove them together into a performance."
This deepened Hayward's desire to speak in her own voice.
While she was traveling back and forth to Victoria to visit her mother in extended care, Hayward began working with voice coach Marguerite Witvoet.
"I'd come back each time full of stories, so Marguerite said, 'sing me your stories; turn up the volume.' And she would record and help me to reshape them. We came up with eight songs. It was the biggest gift. Me mining my own life, a personal archeology, and then turning it into a piece of theatre."
The great thing about one-person shows, says Hayward, is that "they're easy to produce. You don't have to pay anyone else, and you can start from your own material. I love to see people combining all these things—dance, theatre and music. It's very satisfying."
When I ask if she ever misses performing with others, she says, "You really can't do it alone. There's always collaboration in the creative process. And on stage, the audience is your partner. You're fully engaged as though you were with another person there."
After the show's run in Vancouver, Hayward takes Mystery Circus to the International New York Fringe Festival, which she calls "the thrill of a lifetime—my Olympic event."
Stripes: The Mystery Circus can be seen at the Moberly Arts & Culture Centre, Friday through Sunday, May 28th-30th.

Special guest Corey Miller to make an appearance, custom "Oregon skull' tattoo
by Maria Baum | Freelance Reporter
Once considered taboo, tattooing has quickly become a social norm that is widely recognized in Oregon as a means of self‐expression. This weekend in Eugene, hundreds of tattoo artists will flock to the Lane Events Center to share their creative enthusiasm at Oregon's first‐ever tattoo convention.
The Oregon Ink Tattoo convention is being put on by Northwest Tattoo Magazine and will host nearly 150 tattoo artists from all over Oregon, as well as artists from out‐of‐state. Tattoo artist Corey Miller from TLC's television show "L.A. Ink" is among several of the highly anticipated guests.
The event will also feature art shows, tattoo contests, seminars, classes, live music and a beer garden sponsored by Ninkasi Brewing. The group of female tattoo models known as the "Suicide Girls" will also be present to sign autographs. Miller describes the occasion as "a three‐day rock concert for art."
Brandon Ingram, publisher of Northwest Tattoo Magazine, said Eugene is an ideal location for hosting a tattoo convention. "Eugene has a lot of tattoo people here," Ingram said. "Portland is one of the biggest tattoo cities in the U.S. and the turnout this weekend is going to be big."
Ingram said there is a commemorative tattoo available to guests for $50 during all three days of the convention. This tattoo is known as the "Oregon skull" and can be done in different variations depending on preference. "Not everyone can afford a $1,000 tattoo. This is cheap and will be a great way for everyone to remember this day," he said.
Ingram said he invited Miller because Miller has friends in the area and is recognized as one of the world's most respected tattoo artists. Miller is best known for his black‐and‐grey realist work and will be giving a flesh drawing seminar during the convention; he will also have his own tattoo booth.
"There are excellent artists that come from the Northwest," Miller said, "and it will be so exciting for new artists to attend this weekend. For me to be a part of this convention is really rewarding and realistically, I'm coming for people to take the time to look at the books and enjoy art. As far as the partying and rock 'n' roll goes, I'll be there for that, too."
Miller is known for his creations of timeless designs that have brought him countless career highlights. He tattooed James Hetfield of Metallica and designed a dragon for Hetfield's Gibson Les Paul guitar. Miller was also asked by custom motorcycle artist Jesse James to tattoo the $100 bill on James' back. Miller attributes much of his success to the involvement in his TV show, "L.A. Ink."
Miller describes his background in the tattoo industry as working from the ground up. "I never went to art school or anything like that, and I started on my own as a youngster. When I was 16, I would drive to the local shop and hang out. I started out
doing homemade stuff, and I really liked what I was doing," he said. For Miller, his profession is rewarding because he gets to create something permanent that makes people happy. "For some people it is a right of passage, and for others it's a source of
rebellion, but it gives someone something that can change their lives."
"My favorite tattoo on my body often changes, but recently it is the tattoo of my three children's names on my arm," Miller said. "It is something that will always be there, when I'm here in my conscious state and when I'm gone."
Local artists are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Miller and the convention.
Tattoo artist Splat Ter from High Priestess Piercing and Tattoo said he has wanted an event like this to hit Eugene. Ter will be giving a two‐hour seminar, which will provide participants with Red Cross certification. "Its going to be all Oregon artists
and its cool to see artists from all over the area," Ter said. "Hopefully the artists will have fun and be able to show their stuff as well as support local businesses."
University senior Renee Abousamra plans to attend the convention and is excited to see the local talent. "I am really excited about the convention, being a tattoo enthusiast and having a couple myself, I think it's about time Eugene got a large
convention because we have some awesome talent in Eugene," Abousamra said.
"With so many visiting artists, it is hard not to get excited."
Junior Viari Lopez thinks the presence of Corey Miller will be the highlight of the weekend. "I was always unsure about the work of tattoo artists in Oregon, simply because I knew little of them, but for a respected artist like Corey Miller to come and make the claim that Oregon artists are very talented says a lot about tattooing here in Oregon." Lopez said he will attend the convention and Miller's booth will be a top priority.

This is just a story to illustrate what it is like running an inn with there being two of you. I read recently of someone who wanted to have a "partner" share all the work and expense.
A bird splattered the upstairs window of a guest room, bombed it! I did my best to try to get the hose spray up to the window to try to eliminate ('scuse the pun) this waste off the window. To no avail. I cannot get to it via the inside, itis on the outside of the torm window, there is no easement out there or roof.
I asked da man to help, he is at work, he comes home and works at the inn, he has ten irons in the fire. I told him I have someone in that room, it was not a priority for him. I asked him for two days.
I am totally embarassed by this, it is not a big deal, but checking into a room with a window covered in bird is not my idea of a nice B&B stay...
These are the little things that you can butt heads on, when one thinks something is important, and the other doesn't. Just thought I would share this story, I am not complaining about this, just matter of factly. He left to go buy some parts for the whipper snipper that blew up last night, after mowing the lawns for 2 hours. Meanwhile we put the porch back together, until next week when he can paint, and then do another section.
I appreciate all he does, as it is never ending in this old place...

I have recently moved in to a new room as the number of volunteers increases and the new volunteer house is not yet ready. As a result I am in a smelly damp room at the back of someones house, which backs on to a chicken farm. It is fine though, I have no complaints.
This morning though I went out and saw the owner of the building was making a fire near the chicken coop so I asked what he was up to with my limited Portuguese. I was pretty sure after leaving that he planned to kill a bird for the BBQ we were all having this afternoon.
Anyway I went back to the main volunteer house for breakfast and to pick up my towel so I could have a shower. I let the other volunteers know I may be back a bit late as I may want to watch the birds being killed…if I had understood correctly.
So I headed back and after some ropey Portuguese exchanges I was pretty certain they were about to kill a bird: Agora? Sim, agora.
In my head I was thinking, hey, maybe this will be the thing that sends me full veggie. I have been toying with the idea for over a year now and when I have control over what I eat, I will generally stear clear of meat, but having lived in the volunteer house we have been eating meat every day, frequently twice a day…but thats another story.
Anyway here are the steps I witnessed:
- Select suitable duck, hold it by its wings and take it to clear space in the chicken coop. If other chickens and ducks happen to be watching, don't try and save them from witnessing the slaughter of their mates, let them watch, they really don't seem to give a shit.
- Lie the duck on its side, step on its wings, hold its head firmly so you can't hear it beg for its life, and pull the feathers out of the front of its neck, so you can see where you are cutting.
- Push the dog away because it has loads of rank skin tags and floppy bits that you don't want to touch the future meat, current duck.
- Get your knife, cut the throat. Maybe sharpen the knife first so you don't have to saw through the neck. Welcome the other ducks and chickens as they gather round to drink the blood of their ex-housemates.
- Hold the duck for the next 3-4 minutes as it tries to get away. Its head is only just connected but it is still trying to get away. I have no idea why. I have heard of chickens running around headless but this duck was cut a good few minutes ago and looks pretty drained but the guy still seemed to feel the need to hold it down like it was going to fly to its freedom.
- I went for a shower at this point, my stomach was feeling a little bit odd.
- After the shower the deed is done, most of the blood has been cleaned from the floor by the dog and the other cannibal birds.
- Drop the birds in boiling water and pull their feathers out
- Go get dressed
I am in between slaughter and BBQ right now. Whether I want to eat them when they arrive this afternoon I do not know. The whole thing didn't make me think urgghhh I wanna be a vegetarian. To be honest one of the worst things was that the other birds were all standing around watching but when they started drinking the blood I sort of lost sympathy, they didn't seem to be experiencing any visible grief.
Points for improvement: maybe cut the head clean off. Don't saw and let it slowly bleed to death

We're sitting in the car in companionable silence, Husband and I, running errands. I'm just ruminating….as always…..and I see a sign outside a gas station advertising what I assume is a good price on a pack of name brand cigarettes, $6.31!!!!
Holy cow! I quit when they were $2.50 a pack and I thought THAT price was ludicrous, I can't even imagine how people can afford it today.
Then I start to wonder if Vaping has had a significant impact on the tobacco industry…..which leads me to think about the comparative costs of one over the other. I start to list the cost of the initial 'accoutrement' that is involved with Vaping, and the cost of the oils…..I happen to glance over at Husband and notice he's looking at me in an odd way (okay, he looks at me like that a lot but this was an unusual scowl…..) it's then I realize I wasn't just thinking my thoughts I was saying them out loud.
"Did you ask WHY a lot when you were little?" He says.
My parents used to say I was exasperating with my questions when I was small. I asked why about everything and anything. They started answering with things like, "I'll explain it later." (which they usually didn't) or, the one I hated the most, "You'll understand when you're older."
I guess it comes with the territory, being the youngest, but I always felt like I was missing out on something, missing the punch line, as it were….everyone else got it and laughed….except me.
I learned early on to laugh even if I didn't get it. That little strategy saved me in many a situation as I got older. It also led me into a few awkward moments….but on the whole I'd say, laugh when everyone else laughs….even if you're the butt of the joke!
So I laughed!

The Atlantic For all those people abandoning Twitter, I am preparing to share some thoughts on micro.blog. In the meantime, here is a modest proposal for those of you holding on to the bow.
Somewhere along the line, the whole system started to go haywire. Twitter began to feel frenetic, unhinged, and—all too often—angry. Some people quit. Others, like Schulz, cut way back. I felt the same urge, but I wanted to do something less extreme, something that would allow me to keep the baby, even as I drained the bathwater. So I began to take note each time I experienced a little hit of outrage or condescension or envy during a Twitter session. What I found was that nearly every time I felt one of these negative emotions, it was triggered by a retweet.

As new parents, you must be overjoyed holding that bundle of joy in your hands is like the best feeling that you have ever got, serene, calm and just plain beautiful. You immediately feel a sense of responsibility come up on your shoulders and you know that you won't let absolutely anything to harm your precious little baby. As a parent, it is only expected to feel like this but it is not just enough to feel it, you must be prepared for everything that comes your way in the journey of parenthood.
After some time, taking care of your baby seems as an easy job and you are getting a hang of it. But unexpected situations can turn up and leave you completely unprepared. Everything was great until a sudden trip comes up that is totally unavoidable. In this case you have to travel with your newborn as there is no option left. You cannot even think of leaving your baby in the care of a family member, no definitely not. So, now you have to be even more careful for both your wife and your child sakes.
For such a trip where you cannot postpone traveling, it is better you get prepared by purchasing the necessary baby travel gear for the trip to be a comfortable one for both you and your child. Even while going on vacations, you can enjoy and have absolutely a blast of a time with your baby if one knows how to get prepared in the right way. The consequences of not being prepared can result in you being completely stressed out which is neither good for you nor for your child. Getting the necessary travel accessories will ensure that you have a good time and the young one get to enjoy too.
So here are the three important tips for traveling with a one year old:
- The first requisite is of course baby wipes, diapers and toiletries. It should be taken in numbers so that you never fall short.
- You should take your stroller with you to move around the airport freely if you are traveling by plane. Strollers that can be turned into car seats are a great addition to your gear collection as it serves both purposes. You can use it later to comfortably seat your baby in the plane too.
- Soothing items like pacifiers and your baby's favorite toys are a great help to keep them entertained and far from wailing.
Online stores available over Internet is the ideal place to find all your baby travel gear of top quality that will make your trip a comfortable experience.

In this article I will share with you my reasoning for canceling my pre-order of the Sony a7R IV and purchasing the new iPhone 11 PRO for all my future professional photography needs. While the Sony is surely going to be an amazing camera, it pales in comparison to the DEEP FUSION of the iPhone 11 Pro. I mean, three lenses?? Seriously...the Sony A7R IV can't do that!
In all seriousness though, the iPhone 11 Pro looks super cool and I will be in line to snatch one up on pre-order. The three cameras, tele, wide and super wide are cool all by themselves, but the tech packed inside, especially the DEEP FUSION is the kind of stuff I get excited about. Deep Fusion compiles a total of 9 images in camera to increase detail and lower noise. This sounds much like the newest form of Pixel Shift on the Sony A7R IV.
With the number of pixels being able to be packed onto a small sensor reaching their limits without degrading image quality, I honestly feel like these forms of technology are what are going to bring about the most exciting tech in the camera world over the coming years. As someone who wants all the resolution and detail I can get...I'm all in.

The month of June is running month for the John Volken Academy. Students in Kent, Washington, are running the Rock n Roll Marathon or ½ Marathon on Sunday, June 9th and students in Surrey, British Columbia, are participating in the Scotia Bank ½ Marathon and 5 K on Sunday, June 23rd. Running has many benefits for the individual in recovery as they develop new healthy habits to keep them on track for a lifetime of sobriety.
Please read how running has impacted one of our student's recovery at the John Volken Academy.
"To this date, I've been a student for a year and 3 months. Before the start of the New Year, I was gaining weight and it was brought even more to my attention by a friendly jab from a close brother. Along with gaining weight, I wasn't as happy inside as I knew I could be, something was missing. I made a firm commitment to start running. I made sure to always run with a fellow brother, even if was just around our parking lot and backyard. It was tough at first, but I noticed running with someone motivated me to push harder. From the suggestion of another brother here, "No matter what, don't stop!" became my motto. Immediately I noticed a change. Emotionally and spiritually I felt healthier than I ever had. Within a week I felt physically better.
The biggest change that came over me was when I was invited for an early morning run. After that first morning run, I felt more alive and happier than any other morning in my entire program, maybe in my entire life. Running has helped me in so many ways and I continue to grow with each run. My whole life has been filled with running; running from the cops, running from my family and friends, and running from problems and emotions. At 26 years of age, I'm eternally grateful to have found new love with running. It has opened me up to a whole new world and a new way of finding happiness. I now choose to run for my future instead of running from my past."

By: Cold Steel
Designed by celebrated custom knife maker Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel AK-47® series has proved exceptionally popular with Military personnel and Law Enforcement professionals. Their American CTS XHP Alloy Steel blades are vacuum heat-treated and sub-zero quenched for maximum toughness, then hollow ground by hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon's scalpel. They are then DLC (Diamond Like) coated for corrosion and abrasion resistance, while enhancing the knives already astounding cutting power by reducing friction. The AK47 is equipped with ergonomic American G-10 handles that offer incredibly secure grip even when wearing thick gloves and working in cold or wet conditions. These tough hard use knives also feature a unique solid 6061 Aluminum pommel that can focus strikes, serve as an impact tool and function as a "less than lethal" option in a last ditch self-defense situation. The AK47 is also equipped with our state of the art, record breaking Tri-Ad® lock. Proven again and again to be superior to any other lock on the market today in terms of strength and shock resistance. Finally, to assure fully ambidextrous and lightning fast access, each AK-47® comes with our patented thumb plate - allowing the knife to be drawn and simultaneously opened by snagging it on the edge of a pocket!

Corey Brewer 18 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Corey Brewer is definitely in the top 10 "NBA Players Who Appear to Have a Drug Problem". He is also in the bottom 10 of "NBA Players Who Appear to Have a Steroid Problem". His arms are twigs, his legs are twigs, his head is a twig, and his torso is – you guessed it…Read More

Robin Lopez 19 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)

There was, at one point, a lot of hype for Alec Burks as the next young stud scorer who was soon to break out at any point.

The Phoenix Suns are going to have hard time living up to the funness they displayed last year.

I should probably double-check those stats and not just trust the Nets commentators, but…Read More

Nnamdi Kanu: Only referendum will make guber election hold in Anambra
• Group disagrees with IPOB leader
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says approving a date for referendum in Nigeria by the Federal Government is the only condition that would make the November 18 governorship election possible in Anambra State.
He stated that the current situation of things in the country cannot continue, insisting that the time has come when people should be allowed to decide what they want from Nigeria.
Speaking in Enugu after receiving three awards from Igbo Students, Eastern Consultative Assembly and Igbo Women Assembly, Kanu explained that Biafra has come to stay.
He said: "There will be no election in Anambra State come November 18, 2017 and there won't be any going forward until they give me a date for referendum. They know what to do. It is very simple. They should convene a meeting, I will attend or I will send my representative. That is the only way they can have election if not, there won't be any."
Ask whether such position would not lead to bloodshed, especially now that Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo leaders have distanced themselves from the call, he said: "I am not bothered over that because the people are with us; we control the people one hundred per cent and come to Anambra on November 18, the world will be amazed at what will happen. We are entirely a peaceful people. We are not stopping anybody from voting. We are democrats."
However, a pro-Biafran group, the Biafra Reformist Movement (BRM), yesterday asked Anambra electorate to prepare to vote on November 18, for any governorship candidate of their choice.
The group, in Enugu faulted Kanu's position, saying such would set the Igbo backwards as well as thwart the realisation of Biafra.
Leader of the group, Mr. Ndubuisi Igwekani, called on the people of Anambra and other Nigerians resident in the state, to discharge their civic obligation by turning out enmasse to exercise their franchise on that day.
Igwekani cautioned that any attempt to stage a boycott of the election will impact negatively on the development of Igbo land and the Biafra struggle.
In another development, traffic yesterday was halted for several hours in Abakaliki when Kanu and his group stormed the state capital in a long convoy.
Speaking to the people that came out to welcome him, Kanu vowed to continue the struggle for the actualisation of Biafra noting that he will shut down Ebonyi for three days.
His words: "Nobody can stop Biafra because Biafra has come to stay.''
I will transverse all parts of Biafra land and other areas without anybody stopping me.''

Change single event out of a repetition
Sometimes it happens that you want to change the date and/or time of an event, that is an item of a series of regular events. E.g. you have a regular meeting every first mondy in a month. But in May there is a bank holiday, so the meeting should be postponed to tuesday.
Right now, this is not possible, without affecting all the other events of that series.2456th ranked

fix the calendar, and be easier to contact
I am having issues with the calendar. When I finally worked out how to contact Yahoo about it (don't ask me how, I don't know and cannot seem to replicate and now tells me that email address is dead), they sent what I believe to be automated messages. Finally, I sent back another reply and they turned the reminders/events back on for a few days. They told me it was due to spam on the site. There has been NO spam so this was a convenient excuse for them. A few days later, it has gone off again and I tried replying to them again, but the email address I was using for them has gone dead. I cannot fix this up through the week as I work and being in Australia, I am also at odds with time differences to be able to try the phone number. The drop down boxes don't answer the question but don't give you a way to contact Yahoo if your area is not covered. The reminders are a critical part of our group. Not happy and cannot seem to find a way to get it fixed permanently. That there are several others here that have similar problems tells me that it is not spam that is causing it but rather a Yahoo fault. I just want it fixed. I don't have a copy of all the reminders to just use them elsewhere. I don't have the time to start from scratch. This needs to be fixed. I go to events and it is greyed out with a red circle with a line through it, preventing access. People are going to leave the group because they cannot get the reminders that they are in the group to get. I worked hard to set them all up, and now that I work full time, I don't have the time to start over. I wish I did because I would be trying Google instead.

there's a discipleship program where each classroom "adopts" a person to pray for and do kind acts for throughout the year. we get to meet someone new each year. we get to learn that the world is bigger than the people we know especially the people we know and love so well. we get to mail cards throughout the year, we get to hold private family prayer services, we get to draw pictures, we get to read their story, we get to pray regularly for these people, we even got to go to a funeral for the woman (mrs. l.) joey's class had in kindergarten. we prayed for mrs. l. and her family for almost two full years while she suffered gracefully and fought the best fight she could with cancer. ugh, i hate that disease!! she had a loving husband and four kids (around ages fourteen to twenty-four or so). my heart broke seeing them at this beautiful funeral mass because i know how families change when someone dies. i was very sad. joey and janie came with me to the funeral. they brought books about heaven and journals. janie drew a picture of mrs. l. they soaked in the sights (lots of flowers, casket, crying people), smells (they'd never seen or smelled inscense before), the sounds (songs sung by their music teacher). i noticed they were paying attention a little bit every once in a while. one woman at the funeral even complimented them on how good they were during that long mass. joey must have soaked in even more than i know because today he was asking about paul bearers and the casket. i love his inquiring mind!
this program can even make us all a little uncomfortable. that's a good lesson that i want to be able to teach my kids ... we have to step out of our comfort zone. sometimes on our own and sometimes just to survive (even though we'd rather be in our safe place where things go just the way we think they should go). we don't know these people, we don't always remember to pray for people we know so how will we always remember to pray for people we don't know. we have to go to nursing homes where people may look different and say funny things. we have to love more. we have to serve. it's a good thing to have to do it!
although we will continue to pray for mrs. l's family and ms. g (from joey's first grade class), i'm looking forward to meeting our people for this year.
okay so if this is really about things i like best about their school, the uniforms are pretty nice too (except for the necklace policy ... and i'd revise the shoe policy if i was in charge :)).
these silly kids who are happy to go to school to learn and pray and get caught (for good behavior) by the braggin' dragon are really the best though! we are off to a great start for the second grade and kindy years for these two. tomorrow is school pictures already. say cheeeeeeeeese!

Safe Permanent Nasal Polyps Cure
Neither steroid therapy nor surgery is a permanent cure for nasal polyps. Polyps re-growth occurs in practically everyone using steroids, and occurs in about 75% of the patients undergoing surgery. This is because the underlying cause of the polyps is still there – whatever is causing the nasal passages' cells to become irritated and inflamed is still there. Hence, after a while, fluid accumulates in these cells again, and soon enough these are pulled down resulting in nasal polyps. The answer to getting rid of nasal polyps […]More info

Trying To Make Sense Of It All?
It is not easy but I will make some observations from the pov of Joe Average.
Last February Cameron Slaters Whaleoilbeefhooked blogsite was taken down in a DDOS attack.
It is widely accepted there were many who delighted in that but nowhere near as many who were capable.
In the aftermath of that chaotic destructive effort someone or some persons, entered the wreckage and electronically removed the vast lode of email traffic that had accumulated in the whaleoil files.
Forward around six months and a published author with some form as a destructive selective revealer of information acquired in somewhat dodgy circumstances, publishes a short story predicated on those stolen emails and selectively aimed at creating the National Party as the sole proprietor of "dirty politics".
Following the publication of his work the luvvies of the left and their fellow travelers saturated the Media in an allout attack on John Key and Judith Collins.
As the public became increasingly dismissive of yet another vain attempt by a Green Party supporter in a repeat performance, further revelations of as yet unpublished data from the trove stolen in the aftermath of the DDOS attack six months earlier, were published by an unquestioning media as the product of a new player called Rawshark.
Again a public, increasingly turned off, largely ignored the garbage truck trundling past every day.
On his return from a planned trip to Israel, Slater went to the police and laid a complaint.
Last Thursday the now rather compromised author had his residence turned over by five police over ten hours, under a search warrant seeking evidence as part of their investigation of Slater's complaint.
On the revelation of last weeks search we are this week enduring the ragtag army of the left already shellacked by a backlash very few saw coming, whining individually and sometimes in chorus about the attack on the innocent author/victim.
Clearly the almost certain illegal removal of data from Slaters compromised data base resulted in a moderately successful publication creating a financial reward for the publisher and the author.
The Author has made so many conflicting stories as to the ID of the original hacker and his relationship to whoever it was, as to not just muddy the waters but to almost fill the puddle with bullshit.
Then also, what was the relationship with Rawshark and who is he/she.
As a parallel campaign of obfuscation and pathetic justification a few other unrelated incidents are employed by many, sympathetic to the now exposed as even more dodgy, author. Really just more bullshit.
Slater is in a legal contretemps with one Matthew Blomfield the somewhat sharp operator in the allegedly predatory Hell Pizza Empire where Slater has possession of a hard drive from Blomfield's Computor. I have seen precious little evidence that that hard drive was stolen although the possession by the person who delivered it to The Whale seems to be unresollved as to legality.
The second and equally compromised allegation of Slater being in possession of "stolen files", relates to an incident where Jason Ede, a publicist from the PM's dept alerted Slater to the fact that the NZLP official website was wide open and sensitive information was unprotected. Slater apparently went there and copied data and subsequently alerted the Labour idiots their security was non existent. Afaik nothing has been published and the angst is all about the salient fact that a serious enemy has in his possession some rather sensitive data around IDs of donors and numbers.
So in summary Slater's current possession of a hard drive from the system of Blomfield's is a bit like someone delivering a bit of property to someone who has an interest, that has all the hallmarks of being entirely legal.
The information Slater accessed and removed from the public and open NZLP website, was as serious as an open book in a public library with information clearly on display. That he did not publish or otherwise use it and promptly advised the library owners of their vulnerability is a total non starter as to illegal possession.
Otoh, a person known to make profit from valuables stolen by a third party, discovering the identity of the driver of the truck that wrecked the mailbox containing all Slater's emails, making contact and doing a deal to share the spoils by selecting the material that supported his dream of destroying an opposition political aspirant and making a tidy profit in the process, is to be pitied now the Police is just doing their job they are paid to do.

Hager & Rawshark are terrorists, plain & simple.
Helen would've sent in the STG with instructions not to fuck up like they did with Taame & Dotcom.
And the next day we could be sure they're be no more surprise relegations from that quarter disrupting elections ever again.

So what you are saying is that Cameron Slater:-
1. doesn't make money off his website. Surely the advertising on the site suggest otherwise.
2. Wasn't paid to attack Blomfield as he was paid to attack so many others.
I suspect that all you have proved is that either your morals are somewhat suspect, or your ability to think is impaired.
Either way you knowledge of the law is quite flawed.
Lets be charitable and state that hopefully your medical condition is not age related.

Good Grief, GD. You've flushed out the Labour party/Union funded Standard blog attack dog.
If I was he I would be very careful with allegations made in public about who might or might not have paid Mr Slater.
Of course all the people who post at The Standard are unpaid altruistic starry eyed volunteers. Yeah right!

Simply arguing that Cameron Slater is somehow morally equivalent to Hagar doesn't justify Hagar's actions.
It then simply boils down to 'they did it as well, so that makes it alright'
Stealing private information is not acceptable.

It indeed can't have been easy to come up with this convoluted sophistry.
Here's the simpler version: Hager and Slater have both published stories based on stolen private information. There's nothing in either case to suggest they stole the private information themselves, and both claim the journalist's privilege to publish stories that are in the public interest. Both are witnesses, not suspects.
In Hager's case, the police have sent multiple officers to spent hours turning a witness's house upside down and taking a whole lot of his family's stuff. The only plausible reason they've taken such an unusual step is that Hager's story embarrassed the government - as a reason for getting harrassed by the police, that ought to raise alarm bells even among National's more confused supporters.

Milt what exactly has Slater published from "stolen" emails, to me that has no basis in the facts as I understand them.
Is it possible you and others are conflating illegal with unethical, whatever, it is all an integral part of dirty politics and pulease dont continue the myth only the Nats do that.
The police having decided Slaters complaint requires investigating what else exactly were their options to seek to resolve that decision.
I have an acquaintance who when I was living in the NI made some revealing basics around probable errors made by criminals in commission of a crime. He was in Police HQ and suggested that every criminal from a dumbarse opportunist to a very smart bastard would make on average 9 mistakes that if gathered under the rules of evidence would lead to prosecution.
Barlow keeping that tip receipt was a classic leading to a reasonably specific place to search for the gunparts.
Just imagine the elation when they found the bit of paper on the floor of his car and then the dumped gun parts in tonnes of garbage. The disabled compactor was a bonus.

Re Slater, there's plenty of info available about the Blomfield case, I suggest you read some of it.
Re Hager, you seem to be imagining he's committed some offence and the police are investigating him for it. He hasn't, and they aren't.
- October 8, 2014 at 10:49 AM
- gravedodger said...
That the hard drive was delivered to Slater by someone in the Blomfield camp and the legality of their possession is still not resolved, I hardly think stolen is yet appropriate as a description.
Yes Hagar is being described as a person with potential relevant evidence of the stealing of Slater's email data base.
However the bragging and self promotion of Hagar and his links to the source along with Rawshark has delivered some interesting convoluted hearsay evidence pertaining to the case being investigated following Slater's police complaint
Oddly sometimes material witnesses become persons charged with offenses, sort of shit happens if you like.
- October 8, 2014 at 11:01 AM
- Psycho Milt said...
Blomfield says the data Slater used was stolen from him, Slater says the data Hager used was stolen from him. The only difference here is that Slater is a tool of the government while Hager embarrassed it.

Murdoch media used hacked personal correspondence - it was a criminal offence, for which Andy Coulson has been imprisoned for 18 months.
So why shouldn't Nicky Hagar be subject to the same standards?
Just because Nicky Hagar is a hero of the left does not make what he has done any less of an offence than what Andy Coulson did.

"Why don't you be a "stay at home mum" and look after your children?"
I'll never forget my emotional reaction to the statement of the "stay at home mum" at my children's' primary school's Christmas picnic. She asked me the loaded question when I'd "dared to share" with her that my planning for childcare arrangements for the following year was proving challenging.
This incident occurred some years ago now, however, to this day, Australian parents, particularly women constantly face the judgement call of others regarding their childcare arrangements or whether they should stay at home.
These judgmental statements are usually underpinned by the view that a working mum is somehow not as good as a stay at home mum. They often have the effect of what has been dubbed "mother guilt". Guilt is an emotion that is felt when you do something wrong. It is not wrong in modern day Australia for women to want to work and raise children at the same time.
Children need two things in their life. Love and stability. This can be given to children no matter the working lives outside the homes of their parents or single parent as the case may be. Thousands of Australians are living proof of this.
However speaking to the thousands of working mums in my electorate of Chisholm – childcare remains a big issue. Whether they're in the private or public sector – young professionals, teachers, community workers, small business owners, retail shop assistants, nurses, factory workers women all over struggle with "this issue of childcare".
The childcare issue is not only "big" for young families but it's intrinsically linked to the household budget. And in the main parents just get on with it. Pragmatic budget managers and childcare planners.
In dual-working parent households, the birth and immediate childcare of children in the vast majority of cases changes the woman's life more than the man's. It not only introduces a whole new ballgame of a different life – but it imposes absence from the workplace, uncertainty about return to work and balancing work and life and childcare. Childcare can often mean a logistical nightmare which necessitates juggling childcare arrangements with grandparents, friends, pre-school, holiday programs to name a few.

The best thing about social media is also the worst: These days everyone has a voice. Democracy is alive on the Internet but it's not always the same as making a statement. Before Twitter, millions of Americans shared their political and folksy wisdom through the analog power of the bumper sticker. Sure, sometimes those bumper stickers go a bit far or are in bad taste, but there's something delightful about the power of communicating pithy statements on the back of our cars.
The bumper sticker has had a bit of a comeback in the age of Trump and there is no shortage of pro and anti-Trump bumper stickers out there. That said, most of our favorite political bumper stickers are timeless in their deep and often snarky wisdom. Here are 12 of our favorites:

Yes I have seen that a few times.. looks like communication works, but HDTuner is not responsive. Reset the USB will not fix it. it is almost like we need to use an output pin for the switch source for the tuner. Let the Shield control when the tuner gets switched 12v I will probably do that once you get outputs working..
Maybe once the shield is powered have a 15 sec ( or adjustable) delay to turn on the HDTuner..

Denmark tackles demographic crisis with sex campaign for mothers [video]
The long-term viability of retirement programs — such as Social Security — is a regular topic during U.S. political campaigns. And the same goes in Denmark, where such programs apparently are in pretty bad shape.
The problem for the Danes: a low birth rate in the country, tilting the population toward old folks.
Last year, the City of Copenhagen and an independent advertising firm came up with a solution: a slick TV and online campaign urging Danes to make babies. "The Danish welfare system is under pressure," one ad says. "There are still not enough babies being born, despite a little progress. And this concerns us all."
But the campaign doesn't dwell on senior citizens' financial security. It focuses instead on how young Danish adults are breaking their parents' hearts by staying childless. "[T]hose who suffer the most are perhaps the mothers who will never experience having a grandchild," the ad laments.
It then shows us an older woman trying to figure out how to help her son procreate: she imagines sneaking into his bedroom while he's getting hot and heavy with his significant other to help with the removal of a brassiere.
The wannabe grandma rejects that notion, and the ad turns to better ways to encourage baby-making, such as sunny vacations and exercise that releases endorphins.
The tagline: "Do it for Mom."
It's an unusual and amusing campaign — and apparently it's working. Britain's The Independent writes that nearly a year after the campaign launched, "reports have suggested that Denmark is set for a baby boom."
Watch an ad for the campaign below. But be aware: if you don't like suggestive content, this video isn't for you.

The watch dies.
Time no longer flies.
That moment has stopped all things.
This world has no queens or kings.
No authority or nobility in sight.
So many people don't want to fight.
But for us to have a world without war.
There must be the coming of the horses four.
Each will bring death and destruction on mass scales.
We have nothing to compare them to, not even old wise tales.
The righteous will come back once again.
No one can guess when.
So as you sit and wait for all this to end.
I wait to transcend.
