This might be useful signage at NZ hospitals.

The idea could also be adapted to a warning sticker for spin dryers.

Kiwi falcon wins bird of year
By Paul Harper Snappy_nz
6:47 PM Wednesday Oct 10, 2012

The karearea, or New Zealand falcon, has won New Zealand’s Bird of the Year.

The falcon took 1255 of more than 10,000 votes in the Forest and Bird New Zealand’s annual competition.

Forest and Bird announced the winner at 6.30pm.

The karearea, which adorns the New Zealand $20 note, are known for their aerial aerobatics and can reach 230kmh.

The kokako came second with 968 votes.

Previous winners of the title include the pukeko, kakariki, kiwi, kakapo, grey warbler, fantail, and tui.

My own encounter with a falcon.

A farmer got in his ute and drove to a neighbouring farm
and knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy about 9
opened the door.

“Is your Dad home?” the farmer asked.

“No sir, he ain’t,” the boy replied. “He went into town.”

“Well, said the farmer, is your Mum here?”

“No, sir, she ain’t here neither. She went into town with Dad.”

“How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?”

“He went with Mum and Dad.”

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one
foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

“Is there anything I can do fer ya?” the boy asked politely.
“I knows where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one.
Or maybe I could take a message for Dad.”

“Well,” said the farmer uncomfortably, “I really wanted to
talk to your Dad. It’s about your brother Howard getting my
daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant.”

The boy considered for a moment. “You would have to
talk to Dad about that”, he finally conceded. “If it helps
you any, I know that Dad charges $50 for the bull and
$25 for the boar, but I really don’t know how much he
gets for Howard.”

The economic crisis was directly caused by the financial institutions, kevin.
It was indirectly caused by the politicians who didn’t put enough regulations into place to control those financial institutions who by their very nature only care about the almighty dollar and not who they trample over while they are chasing it.
So called “welfare addiction” has very little to do with it, kevin – where did you get that idea from? If you are arguing it’s because money was spent on welfare then you could use the argument that the economic crisis was caused by the US Defence because an awful lot of money has been spent there as well.

Actually it would be quite nice for Obama to win, just to see tom hunters reaction!

You clearly have not read much of what I’ve written about the USA, either political or economic. I have very little faith that any President can help pull the back from the abyss now, given that it’s Congress that actually holds the purse strings.

I’ve pointed out several times that they would need a 40% cut in annual spending just to return to the level of 2008! In the current political environment – where a “cut” is simply a smoke-and-mirrors exercise of claiming a reduction in future spending – the idea of even a 5% cut, let alone 40% is impossible. Yet such a cut would take them back only four years, not thirty. When countries get to that stage there’s not much to be done other than to let the brown stuff hit the fan; “never let a crisis go to waste” and all that.

Having said that I’d still vote for the competent guy ahead of the vacuum-packed celebrity-in-chief they have now. Who knows, maybe Romney, backed by a GOP Senate and Congress, might prove his own history wrong. But it’s the old least-worst choice, so don’t expect me to be crying into my beer if the Obambi wins.

By the same token, if Obama loses I’m going to love watching the left melt-down in the US, followed quickly by them throwing him under the bus and forgetting all about the cult of personality from 2008 in order to save their ideas. Fun. Fun!

Kevin, CDOs and idiotic lending policies to people with, ultimately, no income and no assets, caused the financial crisis in the US. In the EU little countries like Greece and Ireland were treated, by the ECB, in the same way large countries like Germany were, interest-rate rise. The banks didn’t used to be able to market CDOs and lend to mentals in the US till Bush started de-regulating, helped of course by lobbying from guess-who – that’s right, the banks.

Sure, idiot politicians didn’t have to borrow as they did and they didn’t need to de-regulate as they did – the fools. But exculpating the banks from what happened is simply not a correct take on it.

Sure, useless morons (a.k.a useful idiots) didn’t need to keep electing the politicians who facilitated the mess, but when was the last time Joe Sixpack bothered to inform himself of the workings of the markets. Isn’t that the politician’s job? To maintain honest and faithful stewardship in behalf of Joe and Jane? And what was Joe and Jane to do, when the herd was in full flight, to the point where the people in the markets truly actually believed they had found a new paradigm and they lived that every single day, for year after year, as the bubble inflated.

Personally I was talking to my work colleagues about sub-prime in 2005. And I don’t work in the markets, all I do is study and learn from history, but if I could see it coming back then, based on history, both the politicians and those bankers at the top of the food chain, sure as hell should have.

Bc it’s the other way round. Politicians actively encouraged banks to lend more than properties were worth, to pretend house price rises weren’t part of inflation, and to encourage people to borrow against house price inflation so the politicians could pretend THEY, not the banks were delivering a pumping economy.

Bottom line is, if the problem was caused by the banks, why is the solution political reform not banking reform?

Greece is a classic example of a highly socialised economy coming tumbling down when politicians finally have no choice but to ween them of the many state’s tit.

The reviews in Britain’s Telegraph and Guardian newspapers said Tyson’s monologue took aim at the 18-year-old woman he was convicted of raping in 1992.
He painted her as a villain, made her one of his “targets of contempt”, questioned her credibility and told the audience he owed her no apology.
The Guardian’s review said Tyson referred to women as “whores, bitches and tramps”, including his victim, and joked about domestic violence against his ex-wife.
Stop Demand founder Denise Ritchie said the reviews revealed “relentless misogyny and trivialisation of rape and domestic violence”.
But Mr Jackson, who wants Tyson to speak to disadvantaged youths in south Auckland, today stood by his support for Tyson’s latest visa application.
“Broadway shows are quite different, I think, from messages to youths and to disaffected people,” he said.
Mr Jackson would discuss with promoters what Tyson would say on his marae visit.

Why not just get a big cardboard cut-out of Tyson, stick it up on the marae with a hidden loudspeaker and Willie Jackson could deliver whatever message he thinks is suitable?
And Tyson could send Jackson the $60,000 in two anonymous cheques of $25,000 each, and one of $10,000

Monique, and part of my point was she did no such thing. It was a petulant whiny little rant by a master in hypocrisy, per-prepared as all the fake references (fake in that although many of them occurred, they in fact have essentially nothing to do with Abbott, was standing when someone behind him produced a sign, for christs sake, how desperate do whom have to be to take that on board, and yet many do, ignoring the “unflushable turd” style of comments made against Howard for example) show. A canned set of crafted lies is reaming Abbott a new one, I ( in an act of foolishness) watched most of the speech on a video, and to call it brilliant is a delusion engendered only in the sickness of of leftist mind.

Re tyson, If the use of family violence by the femnist harpies and the shameless exploitation of so called “at risk” “disaffected ” “Maori” youth by iwi elitists weren’t such serious issues this would be amusing. But sadly all we can do is watch from the sidelines as two powerful troughers battle it out.

The latest Roy Morgan poll shows:
– (not surprisingly) National slipping to 41.5 (trend certainly down now)
– Labour stuttering to 33.5
– Greens (13.5) and NZF (6.5%) picking up deserters
– Mana watered down from 1.5 to 0

Snap election National. Say can’t govern with Maori separatists. Change policy to equality, referendum on Maori seats, no racist constitution, nationalise the foreshore and seabed. Then rule as a majority party.
