Pod of dolphins delights Paremata, Wellington, locals...

This pod of dolphins delighted Paremata, Wellington, locals. They had been fishing under the bridges in the Paremata inlet.

This pod attracted crowds of onlookers and prompted locals to make regular visits and even play music to this endangered species of dolphins. There is a close affinity between dolphins and their human friends.

Shocking: The video Sealord and the global tuna industry don't want you to see...

Image via Wikipedia

Today we've released shocking footage of ocean life dying in gruesome ways at the hands of industrial tuna fishers in the Pacific Ocean. When I first saw it I was outraged by the obscene waste of ocean life shown and I think most New Zealanders will be too.

This is the same destructive fishing method used by the fishing fleets that supply Sealord, New Zealand's biggest canned tuna brand. The widespread use of fish aggregation devices (FADs) with purse seine nets is to blame for high levels of bycatch and even threatens the very future of the fishery itself by catching large numbers of baby tuna. Local tuna brands Pams and Greenseas know this and are phasing out tuna caught this way.

The footage was shot by a New Zealand helicopter pilot turned whistleblower, who undertook aerial reconnaissance for tuna boats in the Pacific in 2009. To protect the pilot from reprisals we've disguised his identity.

It is not for the faint hearted, but here is what many tuna fishing vessels bring up with their catch. This is what fishing on FADs looks like:

Why I didn't show up for work yesterday...

Image via Wikipedia

 

This is why I didn't show up for work yesterday. I was cleaning out my wife's grandpa's cellar and found 12 bottles of his home-bottled grape wine under the steps. My wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else. I agreed to do the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork form the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle, did likewise, and drank one glass, just to check the taste to see if the old fellow knew his wine making. He did.

I then opened the third bottle, and poured it, too, down the sink, but not until drinking one full glass to check the purity. It was very good. I did this, also with the fourth bottle. One glass for myself, and the rest down the sink. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next, and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle, then corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were 29, and as the house came by I counted them again, and finally had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I felt so foolish that I couldn't go upstairs and congratulate my wife to tell her what a great winemaker her grandpa was. I will do that after climbing the basement steps the next time they come by

Wine could also contain a recreational drug - really you may ask? By Peter Petterson Imagine my surprise when I read in my Sunday newspaper supplement that a local wine-writer had discovered and written about the possibility of wine being a drug. Now I'm not a wine aficionado - I prefer European - style beers myself- but a few of my friends,acquaintances and others definately are. Research in Britain has shown that there is some minuscule traces of a class B drug Fantasy in wine. Fact or fantasy would be the initial response of many. Just what is this concentration? It is very difficult I know to accept that a drink that has been around for thousands of years and drunk by millions, has an active ingredient of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid(GHB), or its precurser gamma-butyrolactone(GBL). The concentration of GHB ranged from 4.1mg to 21.4mg per litre of wine, with the greatest concentration found in reds. Contrast that with the 500mg to 3000mg doses in recreational drugs and what do we really have? Is this a comparatively strong concentration, or a minor one? Previously buried medical research undertaken in the UK in 2005 came to light showing alcoholic drinks made through the fermentation of white and red grapes actually contained small traces of a drug known as GHB, or Fantasy.   New Zealand researchers subsequently examined ethanol (the normal alcohol in wine) and published their findings in the international Journal of Psychopharmology in 2009. This showed that ethanol posed the same risks to public health as Fantasy. The UK finding that wine contains Fantasy raises the intriguing situation that NZ wines contained a prohibited Class B drug. It would be appropriate for the NZ government to sponsor further research. Little is known about the specific synergistic effect effect that ethanol mixed with Fantasy has and exactly what doses the mixture of the drugs is important to researchers. What is the mixture? 1/50th of an intoxicating dose of Fantasy in a 750ml bottle of wine; more likely red than white. This shows the inconsistency of New Zealand's drug laws. How does the international community stack up against NZ laws? Scientific information: GHB has been used in a medical setting as a general anesthetic, to treat conditions such as insomnia, clinical depression, narcolepsy, and alcoholism, and to improve athletic performance.[5] It is also used as an intoxicant (illegally in many jurisdictions) or as a date rape drug.[6] GHB is naturally produced in the human body's cells and is structurally related to the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate.

  THE FINAL INSPECTION
  The soldier stood and faced God,
  Which must always come to pass.
  He hoped his shoes were shining,
  Just as brightly as his brass.
  'Step forward now, you soldier,
  How shall I deal with you ?
  Have you always turned the other cheek ?
  To My Church have you been true?'
  The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
  'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
  Because those of us who carry guns,
  Can't always be a saint.
  I've had to work most Sundays,
  And at times my talk was tough.
  And sometimes I've been violent,
  Because the world is awfully rough.
  But, I never took a penny,
  That wasn't mine to keep...
  Though I worked a lot of overtime,
  When the bills got just too steep.
  And I never passed a cry for help,
  Though at times I shook with fear.
  And sometimes, God, forgive me,
  I've wept unmanly tears.
  I know I don't deserve a place,
  Among the people here.
  They never wanted me around,
  Except to calm their fears.
  If you've a place for me here, Lord,
  It needn't be so grand.
  I never expected or had too much,
  But if you don't, I'll understand.
  There was a silence all around the throne,
  Where the saints had often trod.
  As the soldier waited quietly,
  For the judgment of his God.
  'Step forward now, you soldier,
  You've borne your burdens well.
  Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
  You've done your time in Hell.'

Texas judge disciplined his 16 yr old daughter...

Image via Wikipedia

 

The daughter of a Texas judge who secretly caught him on video beating her as a teenager in a row over a computer game says corporal punishment was a regular feature in her home.
The seven-minute video of William Adams whipping Hillary Adams, now 23, with a belt at least 17 times and shouting abuse at her in 2004 has gone viral on the internet since she posted it online last week.
"It did happen regularly for a period of time, and I could tell because of the pattern that things were escalating again," Adams told the NBC news show Today.
"So I set up my video camera on the dresser and covered the little red light with a scarf. About half an hour after I set the camera up this happened, and it was amazing that I was able to capture such a thing."

The video has touched off a public outcry in the United States, where corporal punishment - outlawed in much of Europe - is legal within homes in all 50 states.
It shows William Adams - now under police investigation - repeatedly hitting his screaming daughter for having played a computer game. Her mother is also seen hitting her once.
Speaking to local television station KZTV outside his home in Rockport, Texas, Adams acknowledged it was him in the video. He added that his conduct was "not as bad as it looks on tape".
Explaining why she let seven years pass before going public with the video, Hillary Adams told Today: "Waiting until today ... has enabled me to pull away and be able to distance myself from the consequences."
Of her father, she added: "I think he's been punished enough just by seeing this go public like this and I think he really needs help and rehabilitation. We need to get him counselling or something."
