If you are sure the chicken is partially uncooked, then wait for symptoms…12-24 hours.
The meat might be quite safe and nothing eventuates.

Sometimes folks can be fooled by a pinkish colour in cooked young chicken meat near to the bone.
Pigment from the bone marrow (haemoglobin) can colour the meat. (I always eat this meat and give my fuss-pots the white (tasteless) breast meat.

Hi Milkensop, I’m back to comment on your citing of place names with non-Maori diacritical marks (your 11.18 and 11.34 posts).

1. The Attaturk memorial in Wellington. This is not a place name in the full, geographical and common sense. But it’s not necessary to use the Turkish-adapted alphabet to describe the Turkish leader around the times Turkey was butchering a million and a half Christian Armenians. Attaturk without diacritical marks is correct in English.

2. Adelie Cove, in the Ross Dependency (this isn’t really in NZ), and Eboule Peak on Campbell Island are correctly spelled in English without diacritical marks, just as cafe is (rather than café).

The use of foreign-language diacritical marks in English is an affectation. It’s pompous to write in English Barçelona for Barcelona, for example. Or bíró for the biro pen named for its Hungarian inventor Bíró.

For the effete who want to use foreign-language diacritical marks in English, the message is: if you aren’t going to be a mere hypocritical and pompous skite, go all the way – “Roma” for Rome, “München” for Munich, “Warszawa” for Warsaw, and “Москва” for Moscow.

Leave non-English diacritical marks out of English – including Maori diacritical marks.

“I had takeaway lunch from local purveyor of Japanese cooked and uncooked foods, and back at the office I found a bunch of semi-raw chicken, after I’d eaten about half of the meal.”

Youre going to start feeling dizzy around 6pm..

630 – lots of saliva
632 – you will start vomiting and pissing out of your ass at the same time.
633 – 930 – see above
931 – you will be well into the bile stage. you will feel out of it. you will be a sweating, stinking mess.
11pm – youll be trying to shit but nothing comes out. there is only pain for you.
11:20 – you will be stupid enough to think you can handle a drink as your mouth is dry. this 1 teaspoon of liquid will lead to 3 litres of vomit and ass piss.
midnight – asleep
1:05am – CRAMP!!! the worst cramp of your miserable life will kick in. you will plead with your better half to just kill you. they wont.
3am – you will begin to bargain with god. hes not listening.
4am – youre thinking ambulance. but you man the fuck up.
6am – you break down for a cry and roll around in agony.

10am – if youre lucky thats it. re hydrate.

if youre not lucky – get to the A&E

if youre real unlucky the above wont happen for 48 hours and you will have rotyourassoutbactor.

Dime will pray for you.

The Syrian refugees are arriving in Christchurch today and tomorrow – 49 families. State houses, and Mayor Cull apologises today for being absent for the welcome.

You can bet there will be no Christians or Yazidis among the refugees. Muslims all.

Dunedin is dead from the shoulders up.

I could almost go for that Jack, but how can you leave diacritical marks out of Māori? The macron is necessary for the correct pronunciation. Otherwise a double a is required. Hāwea or Haawea

Jack5 @ 4:13 – the same goes for pronunciation.

I get really irritated by the ridiculous expectation / fashion that all NZ placenames with Maori origin have to have exact Moari pronunciation when speaking English.

It just sounds affected and pretentious. As does anyone who calls Paris, Germany, Japan, Cologne (etc) “Paree”, “Deutschland”, “Nippon”, “Koln” when speaking English.

(I’ll pronounce Waitemata like a fluent Maori speaker when they pronounce Point Chevalier like a Frenchman)

From Psychology Today (to get us in the mood for Friday night frivolity):

We all know things tend to get a little crazy around the full moon. The reason we know this is because we see it in our everyday lives. Here’s how it works:

• If you see normal behavior, you don’t think about the full moon.
• If you see weird behavior when the moon is not full, you don’t think about the full moon.
• If you see weird behavior when there’s a full moon, you say: “SEE! I WAS RIGHT AGAIN! THE FULL MOON CAUSES WEIRD BEHAVIOR!”

This is a perfect system. 100% of the observations you make point to the same conclusion: The full moon causes weird behavior. There’s just one problem.

The moon does not influence human behavior.

I’m sure the evidence on Kiwiblog tonight will disprove this hypothesis!

What a remarkably stupid question. The language was not written down before the 19th century. When it was, orthographers needed to distinguish between long and short ‘a’ sounds.

Milky at 4.32….

We have English as our predominant official language. If you want Maori signs that means there will be two signs for each position, otherwise there will be no English signs.

If two signs are uneconomic, let’s go with English the present international lingua franca. If you’re not a native-English speaker, reading English will be hard enough without popping it into a minority language alphabet.

The pronunciation will count mainly for the locals and they can be taught. English spelling already stands for different pronunciations of the same letters.

However, again Haawea should be the Maori pronunciation if that is correct, and the spelling in Maori-language text.

For English-language purposes, perhaps the macron could be used as secondary information. Some languages, for example some of Slavic ones, use emphasis marks to show which syllable is stressed in a word, but in road/street signs and general newspaper use or in books, these emphasis marks aren’t printed.

For example, an English-language NZ dictionary or atlas could include in its definition of “Hawea”, as well as the word in English as at present, the macron to indicate this is the stressed syllable in correct Maori pronunciation. Perhaps this secondary information could be in italic or square brackets, or both. However, the version of the word with the macron wouldn’t be included on road and business signs or in newspapers, books, business communications, and so on.

Mikenmild _ of course pronunciation is important when speaking another language. If I were to speak Maori, I would take care over my pronunciation, just as I would try to get my French or German pronunciation right when speaking that language.

But when I say ‘I went to Hawea” I’m speaking English.

“Haere ahau ki Hawea” is Maori.

And if someone said “Haere ahau ki Wellington”, they should pronounce “Wellington” in whatever way makes sense in a Maori sentence. I certainly wouldn’t expect them to replicate the precise pronunciation used by the Duke of Wellington when he introduced himself.

No, it is not a stupid question.
How do we distinguish long vowels from short vowels in English?
How do I know to use a long vowel in “fate”, but a short vowel in “fat”.

We learn by listening and imitating the speech we hear around us.

Read up on the history of use of macrons and other diacritics in Maori…..
Used quite inconsistently for over 100 years…. and still somehow Maori learnt to pronounce words correctly.

Of course, we could institute a comprehensive protocol for correct pronunciation.

Dunedin has to be said with an educated lowland Scottish accent;
Balclutha with a Gaelic lilt;
Alexandra as we would a Danish word;
Birkenhead with a Liverpool accent;
Sandringham as the Queen would;
Whitby like a Yorkshireman;
Ardmore as an Irishman
and the Bombay Hills should be Mumbai…

And to make sure everyone takes it seriously, diacritical marks won’t be enough: we’ll just use the IPA symbols on all our road signs. That’ll help everyone.

With five days before the next five (5) GOP primary contests it is time to update a few bits of relevant data scoured from TheGreenpapers.com They may differ slightly from RCP and AP because they differentiate between “hard” (only committed to “x”) and “soft” (including uncommitted to “x”) delegates. As will be seen below there is a further category of persons elected as “uncommitted” who are able to vote as they please.

First the actual votes accumulated to date for each of the four main candidates (recognising that Rubio has suspended, but not withdrawn):
New York
Trump 528,792 Cruz 126,984 Kasich 218,796
Total votes inc. N Y
Trump 8,785,763 Cruz 6,454,321 Kasich 3,182,817 Rubio 3,474,236
Delegates (soft)
Trump 846 Cruz 544 Kasich 149 Rubio 173
Delegates (hard)
Trump 847 Cruz 559 Kasich 149 Rubio 173
Uncommitted (soft) 28 (hard) 64

The fashions in Maori spelling and pronunciation is about nothing but the exercise of power. A special interest group wanting to make the life of the general populace harder for their amusement because they are weak and insecure about themselves. Grownups do not require constant fawning admiration of their every action or continual genuflection and obsequious pandering by everyone around them, that is the behaviour of tedious pouting children.

In every language pronunciation changes over time, look at latin and germanic language divergences over two thousand years, or polynesian language divergence over 1-2000 years. Or even differences in spoken english around the world 300 years after spread of English. The pronunciation of Maori now will be much different from that of 2-3 centuries ago and would have been widely divergent throughout NZ pre-European anyway. So all this requirement to add tricky inflections etc to the written form of an invented universal modern Maori is just posturing bullshit, helpful to noone, and actually off-putting to majority of NZers. It’s the teenager going vegan to make life difficult for the parents. Written and spoken language are two different beasts. Written is for quick efficient dissemination of information, while spoken can more easily follow fashions pronunciation for identity reasons with no extra overhead – and that does not need to be exactly captured in the written form.

Correct. The colonists didn’t renames places for fun – it was an exercise in asserting power. I suspect that what upsets some about Maori asking for their pronunciation to be respected is the underlying message of a reassertion of Maori influence.

Just watching the News on TV1. In addition to the Maori who killed the Police dog and is still on the run in Porirua there is a crime wave with other Dark skinned individuals who are armed and holding up Hotel bars and Dairies in the Wellington area. Security footage of the offenders clearly show what their race is. Plus Auckland is also having its fair share of dark skin offenders robbing bars etc and assaulting staff.

What in the hell is going on.

These savages are reverting back to the lawless times of the 1870s

It’s about time the Police and the Courts got their act together.

I agree that there’s no concrete evidence that I can find on the net to support the accusation that our soldiers were spat upon by the scum protesting their return from Vietnam. That doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. Two reasons:

1) Those charged with recording NZ’s history are by & large left leaning garbage determined to have things written from their perspective. Academia & the MSM are full of them & they’ve had over 40 years to bury what they will just as they have rewritten history to show the terrible lives of the Tangata Whenua at the hands of the evil white man a couple of centuries ago.

2) TV at the time showed the unwashed contained behind mesh barricades. This gave them the courage to hurl abuse & probably phlegm safe in the knowledge that they couldn’t be assaulted as they richly deserved.

Penny Bright –
“So here we have Auckland Transport not telling us where they’re putting our money but they do want to tell us where and when we can put our signs. I’m actually prepared to fight it on the basis of the Local Government Act 2002 s.155 (3) – that Council bylaws cannot be inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act 1990″.

However regarding the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 she appears to have always ignored Section 60 …

Local Government (Rating) Act 2002
60 Invalidity of rates not ground for refusal to pay rates
A person must not refuse to pay rates on the ground that the rates are invalid unless the person brings proceedings in the High Court to challenge the validity of the rates on the ground that the local authority is not empowered to set or assess the rates on the particular rating unit.
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2002/0006/latest/whole.html#DLM132717

To demand someone follow one law and then, yourself. ignore another law of similar importance and origin, is sheer hypocrisy.
So much for the Rule of Law.

TV at the time showed all kinds of things and not only the” unwashed” protestors but daily bulletins from the battlefields of Vietnam including our troops fighting there I can’t recall protestors behind barricades . Maybe you might be thinking of the 1981 Ani tour protests ?

I suppose Vietnam vets might of got spat on but I don’t recall any incidents of that kind. Any alleged occourences need to be documented so you and others need to provide them.

I wonder if the current US secretary of State, John Kerry’s word is good enough.

“There were hippie protesters here and there who objected to people in uniform,” he says. “On a couple of occasions I heard people say ‘baby killer.’” Friends of his, Kerry says, were even spat on by antiwar types.

I actually hope that it did not happen here in NZ, even though people were very much riled up. Fake blood was smeared around.

That’s right guys, open fire. Don’t worry if anyone else might be shot – as long as you get the bad guy.

@ M&M – is there anyone in the house with him ?

if not lob in a few gas canisters and smoke the prick out… if he comes out shooting it’s his own fault.

….”Don’t worry if anyone else might be shot “….

Knocking around with scum has its attendant risks.

mikenmild,

Can you point out where someone said that the cops should spray the house with bullets? It’s not like this scum prick is arguing it wasn’t him that shot the dog and tried to kill a cop. He is a real threat to the Police who are there. So if they get a clear shot they should take it.

Also I hope the food they sent him had a huge dose of laxatives in it. He would really be shitting himself then.

What is more, are we going to see the whanau saying that the cops should back off so they can sort out a family solution to the stand off like we had a few months ago?

Shoot the prick like they should have done to that mad bastard Jan Molenaar and Graeme Burton – pieces of shit both of them.

Clearly Housing NZ should be much more careful about who they’re renting our houses to.

Stigie:

“Starboard called Mikenmild a “felcher” at 6:30pm”.

“I’m not sure exactly what that word means, and don’t really want to look it up on a work computer, but it suggests that Starboard has Bangkok on his mind!”

You can bet it has something to do with Homo’s and Ladyboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. I see where one of the reasons for staying in the EU, according to Obama, is because sovereignty is outdated. I wonder if that will be widely reported in the USA MSM ? I think he suffers from the same problem as Little –appallingly bad advisors on top a poor ability to think for himself.

“File it with the Peter Davis stories – in the ‘didn’t happen’ bin”.

Pray tell, if it didn’t happen, why the necessity for an urgent RNZAF plane being sent to LAX? to collect one Peter Davis!

stigie,

Maybe “chutney ferret” or a “enjoyer of the caress of the calloused hand” would be more appropriate?

As I scroll through comments, good bad, nonsensical, and indifferent here on NZ,s best political blog.

I muse about readers/commenters here who actually employ Kiwis, pay them, allow them to pay the mortgage, make lunches in the morning (or night before), do the grocery shopping.

Fuck all here I would bet.

I know there are a few genuine employers who comment, but the majority of bullshitters here, are just that, and probably on leave from the left blog..I forget its title.

In the last week, we have employed 4 Kiwis, we are thankful for their time and effort

Hopefully we can compliment each other. I have nothing but respect for those of us who want to earn legitimately.

It’s a good feeling employing Kiwis, and contributing to their lives….we employ 30+ wonderful countrymen.

Today, leading up to the long weekend we had a FO Friday…2pm finish for Anzac.

A good read for anyone interested in beer: Germany’s hundreds-years-old beer purity law, the world hop market, an accusation craft beers contain “sugar and shit” … a German overview.

Lofty,

I own a company that employs 8 people at present. Hopefully it will be 9 next week. While it is a good feeling contributing to society it is also a burden. If I fuck up and ruin my company the I ruin not only my life, and that of my wife and 2 kids, but also that of my 7 other staff and their families – nearly 40 people. It is a worry I am prepared to bear but it fucks me off royally when I hear people bitching about “greedy business owners” as very few if any seem to acknowledge that people like me put everything on the line or recognise the contribution people like me make to the country. Our last PAYE return was $10k – people like me never get thanked for that though.

Where is the guy, anyway? He’s not overseas with Helen is he? Just goes to prove that the whole marriage thing was a bit of a sham, jacked up to make Helen look normal.

Lofty,

It may surprise as I mainly only talk shite, 2 full time and 3 part-time/contractors. Been going 6 months and while I echo sponges concerns I also understand your pride.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..
Fletch, you are quite correct in this. It was a complete fabrication, in order to embellish the dreadful woman’s credibility and propel her political career. And too many NZ voters fell for it through three elections.

The major of London has criticised president Barack Obama and suggested his attitude to Britain might be based on his “part-Kenyan” heritage and “ancestral dislike of the British empire”.

You correct. They are now trying to play the scam again. Just after she announced she was going for the top job is was on the news that Davis said he would go and live in the US if she got the job. Many in NZ new the marriage was a scam but probably not too many overseas.
