Henry Lawson
To Hannah
Poem by Henry Lawson
Spirit girl to whom 'twas given
To revisit scenes of pain,
From the hell I thought was Heaven
You have lifted me again;
Through the world that I inherit,
Where I loved her ere she died,
I am walking with the spirit
Of a dead girl by my side.
Through my old possessions only
For a very little while,
And they say that I am lonely,
And they pity, but I smile:
For the brighter side has won me
By the calmness that it brings,
And the peace that is upon me
Does not come of earthly things.
Spirit girl, the good is in me,
But the flesh you know is weak,
And with no pure soul to win me
I might miss the path I seek;
Lead me by the love you bore me
When you trod the earth with me,
Till the light is clear before me
And my spirit too is free.

For Immediate Release: 6/29/16 at 3:25 p.m.
JEROME - While Idahoans will celebrate their independence over the July 4th weekend, law enforcement in the Magic Valley will be teaming up to target impaired drivers with high-visibility enforcement patrols to ensure everybody gets home safe. The enhanced patrols are possible through funding from the Idaho Department of Transportation's Office of Highway Safety.
The enhanced patrols will last through July 6th with the goal to first remind the public that law enforcement has a zero tolerance for drunk driving and, then, if the message is not heeded, to make arrests.
During the campaign, law enforcement will be watching for impaired drivers, as well as seat belt use. "Avoid driving any vehicle when 'buzzed,' drunk, or under the influence of drugs," says Idaho State Police Lt. Robert Rausch. He explains, "Make this holiday memorable in a positive way, not by injuring or killing somebody else or yourself."
Over the July 4th holiday weekend in 2015, there were 25 crashes in Idaho where alcohol was involved. Of these 25 crashes, 11 of them involved injuries and three people lost their lives.
You can easily avoid a becoming a DUI statistic but you must PLAN AHEAD:
- Plan ahead and designate a sober driver before drinking and give them your keys.
- If you are impaired, call a taxi, a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
- If you go to a bar, check with the employees, many bars have programs to give patrons a free ride home.
- If a friend is about to drive impaired, take his or her keys and help make other transportation arrangements.
- Promptly report suspected drunk drivers you see on roadways to law enforcement. Call the Idaho State Police on your mobile phone at *ISP (*477) or simply dial 9-1-1.
For all motorists on the roadways, "Your best defense against drunk drivers is to always buckle up and pay attention to your surroundings and other drivers," Lt. Rausch said.
Law enforcement will kick-off the impaired driving emphasis patrols with a joint training 9:00 am at the Idaho State Police District 4 Office located at 218 West Yakima in Jerome.
Jared Olson, Idaho Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor, will provide a brief legal update to law enforcement from 9:00 to 10:30 am. Beginning at 10:30 am there will be interview and photograph opportunities with the multiple participating Magic Valley law enforcement agencies.

PICS: Kuala Lumpur, the shopper's paradise
Hit Malaysia's capital with a few extra bags
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia is not only a business hub but a great place for tourists to shop. But if one doesn't know any locals in the city, the number of malls in the spread out city can be quite confusing. Here is an extensive guide for shopping in the great city of KL, whatever your shopping avatar may be.
Branded for life
If brands are your thing, you are at the right place. KLCC mall under the Petronas Towers is the first place to head to. Not only do you get a bottoms-up view of the great twin towers, you also can find all your luxury brands in this exclusive mall.
Everyone who has ever been to KL will suggest you go shop in Bukit Bintang, a street lined with malls of all shapes and sizes. But for the luxury brands, your best bet there is the Pavilion Mall. Whether it is clothes, bags, shoes or jewellery, there is something for every stiletto tapping lady here.

Shop till you drop
If you have all day to spend (or even a couple of them) and don't want to roam around town too much, stick to Bukit Bintang area. There are so many malls catering to all kinds of shoppers that you can never get bored. Whether it is H&M or local brands, you'll find something that you're looking for.
When you're tired of walking around, just head off to Jalan Alor, the hawker food street off Bukit Bintang. Try local street food, be it Malay, Chinese or Thai.
Hidden Treasures
What the tourists and even some locals don't know, is that the Bangsar area (now a sophisticated expat district) is great to shop for high street fashion. The maze of streets outside Bangsar Village Mall are lined chocoblock with small boutique shops that sell clothes and accessories for less than half of what you'll find in malls.
If you are travelling with children, you can drop them off to the Play Gym on the 3rd level of Bangsar Village. They offer services including supervised play time for children while you shop.
A great place to eat while shopping here is the Restoran Nirava. Local food served on banana leaves leaves one licking your fingers. Don't forget to try the Mutton Mie Goreng here.

Affordable fashion
If the high end brands look good to you only behind their show windows, head to the Mid Valley Mall in Bangsar area. The mall is a great place to pick up clothes for yourself and even gifts for people back home.
Don't forget to try the famous Sushi King for a quick and economical bite while you're busy shopping here.
Quick tips for tourists:
- The airport is located an hour and a half out of the city. Plan your days of arrival and departure accordingly.
- It usually rains in KL around 4pm. Mornings can be hot and nights are usually clear and breezy.
- Whenever you need to take a cab, ask for a budget taxi. They are painted red and white and the meter starts at 3RM. All malls and public areas have a designated taxi stand where the first cab in the queue is the one you can take. Depending on your luck, you can get an old beaten up sedan or a shining new SUV.
- Whatever you do, avoid the blue coloured taxis. They are almost 3 times as expensive as the other cabs.
- If the brands in a mall seem daunting, just go to the levels below ground floor and you're in for a surprise. The levels B1 and B2 usually have stores that are easy on the pocket, a line of restaurants and small stalls selling accessories.
- If you're missing home and home food a bit much, the little India area can make you feel like you stepped into a street of Tamil Nadu. Loud blaring Hindi music, flashy gold jewellery shops and restaurants with Indian fare, it's all here.

Overheard on cable news just now: "This could be a teachable moment, with a Gates/Crowley dialogue" — Jesse Jackson
Consider this an open thread around class and race, law and order, freedom and community and government in America, as electrified by professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates being handcuffed in his own home for arguing with an armed government employee who came to his door and challenged him as a citizen to present his papers, prove his innocence of wrong-doing.
Is the citizen (or the police officer) the victim, or the offender? Are both both, or perhaps both are neither?
Is it really about race and class problems, or is this case primarily a clash between private individual rights and public government power? My own experience, in which everyone was white and everyone was wearing orange and blue, and both the police officer and myself were female, informs how I see this case — as not about race or class or color and minorities, not even testosterone, but rather the same way I've seen schoolfolk self-justifying their institutional job (to the point sometimes, of dismissing the reality that actual individuals are hurt rather than helped.)
All in all, it was a transformative moment for me, the quintessential teacher's pet and media spokesperson, grievance hearing officer and pourer of oil on troubled waters. . .
Personal rage and alienation caused by social injustice was a new feeling for me, and it came literally out of the blue. I was just enjoying the day and my life, with my family and friends in a place I'd felt completely comfortable, safe and loved for my whole life, when WHAM!
And what if it were instead a CPS worker backed up by an armed sheriff's deputy, in the south, say, at your door investigating a similarly misinformed neighbor's complaint, coming to challenge you as a homeschooling parent in your own home, such an obviously unfounded complaint that you get outraged and say so loudly, hoping the neighbor will hear you and feel ashamed?
Now do you feel the same sympathies and concerns in the Gates case as you did before, or does your stomach suddenly flip-flop along with a 180-degree change of heart?
And please note, unlike my anonymous encounter with the police on game day, or any ordinary homeschool parent's with the CPS, these principal characters were both well-known, mature, professional role models colliding in one of America's most historic, educated and enlightened communities. White versus black, town versus gown, hate mail and a hot summer, a media feeding frenzy — here is Bill Cosby's take — and one of them even knows the President of the United States personally! (Have you read Bonfire of the Vanities?)
The suspect was a black expert on racial profiling, while the white police officer who arrested him was a racial profiling trainer — if they can't treat each other in an educated and enlightened manner, who can or will??
Some of the positions being publicly taken are by race and class rather than individual, themselves a form of profiling if you will — all police officers are racist (or not racist) etc. Considering what's also in the news, about these "diversity-trained" TX police and our black president, this isn't smart even if it's an honest mistake on his part, yet white male Sgt. Crowley is saying it anyway as if it proved his own purity of motive, much as the white male Republicans insist the CIA would never lie to Congress!. . .
GRAND PRAIRIE — Four Grand Prairie police officers and a dispatcher are on paid administrative leave after a racist e-mail about President Barack Obama was circulated, and the local NAACP chapter is asking whether a recent round of diversity training was for naught. . .
So what does this all mean for third-millennium culture and our own progressive power of story going forward? ARE we going forward at all?

From his Fortress of Legal Solitude our own JJV informs us of the latest weapon deployed in the Russian state's campaign of Nationalism, Autocracy and Orthodoxy*: Angry Kremlins!
Quick recap: members of Russian all-girl protest/punk band Pussy Riot recently got sentenced to two years in prison for "religious hatred" and that hardy perennial "hooliganism" for staging a guerilla musical performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. On the other hand, it could have been worse (totally NSFW). I, too, am shocked - shocked! - to find authoritarianism alive and well in Russia. I'll bet Putin had a KGB office building full of compromising-even-for-Yeltsin** pictures.

"They knew."
That's a mantra oft-repeated by the public in response to the cascade of celebrities who have denounced their colleagues following a cataclysmic domino effect of assault allegations made over the past month. Accusations of harassment, rape, and all-around creepiness leveled at Hollywood director Harvey Weinstein were the first cracks in the industry's golden façade — which has now shattered beneath the weight of hundreds of similar claims aimed at other titans of that breeding ground of fame and misfortune. In the hugely disturbing wake of this scandal, sharp words have been exchanged, tears have been shed, and giants have fallen — but the question at the tip of everyone's tongues, right ...

Rescue dogs, foster children, 18th century houses that ended up as hippie communes in the 1970s, and, most recently, old barns — there appears to be no limit to the people and things that Carol Wojciechowicz will take under her wing.
Let's start with the latest rescue project: the old barn — now known as the Wojciechowicz (Wo-je-ho-itz) barn — that is the newest attraction at the Historical Society of Princeton's Updike Farm. Benjamin Clarke, an early Stony Brook settler, first owned the land as part of a 1,200-acre parcel he purchased in 1696. In 1892 George Furman Updike Sr. acquired approximately 190 acres of the original farmland and added buildings to the site, including the barn.
The Historical Society purchased the six-acre Updike Farm in 2004 from the estate of Stanley Updike. The society moved from Bainbridge House on Nassau Street nearly two years ago, setting up its offices and museum in the renovated 200-year-old farmhouse.
The move was the result of the Historical Society's long-term strategic vision and intended to preserve a bit of Princeton's farming history. The key was to get residents and visitors to come to the new center. One attraction, in addition to the free parking on site, was that old barn, which had been the focus of a renovation campaign almost since the day the Historical Society purchased Updike Farm.
Unlike most 19th-century barns built in New Jersey, this barn was still standing. And like most of the few that have survived, it needed a lot of work to become a venue capable of accommodating the public. The renovation effort needed money and a champion. That would be Wojciechowicz, who not only had been a longtime supporter of the Historical Society but was also a champion of old barns. She had already rescued one that now stands behind her house on Herrontown Road. And she saved another one that has been disassembled and placed in storage.
To anyone who knows Carol or knew her late husband, Alex Wojciechowicz, the idea of adopting a barn will not seem strange at all. Carol grew up in Neptune, near Wall Township, where her parents had owned the Wall Speedway, a stock car raceway, which they bought in 1949 at an estate sale. Her father was a contractor who had worked on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Her mother, known as "Jennie the Jet," became the hands-on operator of the race track. "She was the only female promoter of auto racing," says Wojciechowicz, interviewed at her Herrontown Road home with Shake, a rescue dog, and Una Bella, a Brussels Griffon, sitting underfoot.
Carol had a childhood friend who lived on a horse farm and the two girls would play in the barn, jumping from the hayloft. She was athletic, playing hockey and tennis and riding horses. At Kent Place School for Girls in Summit, she won an art history award. As a freshman at Centenary University, where she majored in interior design, Carol met Alex Wojciechowicz — then a Princeton University sophomore — at a party over Thanksgiving weekend
Also a resident of the Jersey Shore area, "Wojie" was the son of Alex Wojciehowicz, who along with Vince Lombardi was one of the famous "seven blocks of granite" on the undefeated 1937 Fordham University football team. Wojie Sr. later played 13 years in the National Football League.
The younger Wojie, himself a high school football star whose playing days at Princeton never materialized due to a shoulder injury, made a date with Carol through her mother. "We hit it off," she says. The aeronautical engineering major went on to work for Hercules Power Co. in Rocky Hill, making rockets, missiles, and anti-missiles. The couple moved to Cumberland, Maryland, where he started Alto Development Corp., making electric insulators for telephone poles. After Wojie lost a finger in a boating accident, he consulted a hand specialist in New York City who mentioned the need for special wires for heart surgery. Alto Development morphed into A&E Medical Devices. "He was a mad inventor," says Carol. "He would test some of his ideas on meat in the oven."
The couple and their growing family eventually moved back to Princeton. "We had been living on Hamilton Avenue with three kids," she says. One of Wojie's Princeton University classmates, artist Ken McIndoe, was housesitting for a sculptor who owned the house on Herrontown Road, which is how the Wojciechowiczes first got to see it.
Once owned by U.S. Army Chief of Staff Hugh Lenox Scott, who served from 1914 to 1917, the house was a "hippie commune" back in the '70s, according to Wojciechowicz. Every room was painted either hot pink, purple, or chartreuse, she says, and the former occupants conducted seances in the living room. Nevertheless, it had extraordinary character, such as a hand-carved mahogany ceremonial piece from the Philippines. The original house dates to 1746, with a brick section added in 1810 and a kitchen in the 1920s. "Our parents thought we were crazy," says Wojciechowicz. "It was a gracious old colonial that needed so much work."
After Carol's parents' initial admonishment, they gave good advice on the restoration.
The house became a home, with a growing family living there. Carol Wojciechowicz, a Girl Scout leader and a den mother, hired a housekeeper with 10 children who was unable to keep them all. Rather than have them become wards of the state, the Wojciechowiczes took in two of the children. "The 15-year-old asked to be a mother's helper, and her brother, two years younger, came too." So now the family included five children, all in middle school and high school.
In Wojciechowicz's art-filled home there are paintings and sculpture by Ken and Connie McIndoe, paintings of Princeton landmarks by Robert Hummel, as well as many paintings of the house, some in snow and under a full moon. She has hosted the Arts Council of Princeton's benefit dinner, Dining by Design. The walls are also filled with artwork she has purchased at benefit auctions. Wojciechowicz, who at one time served on the Arts Council board, occasionally paints still lifes and portraits.
When you have a large family, rescue dogs, and artist friends living with you, getting an old barn moved to your backyard seems like the next logical step — especially when you've completed extensive restoration of the main house. "Nothing was planned, life just happens," she says.
That's when the New Jersey Barn Company enters the picture.
Elric Endersby and Alex Greenwood founded the Barn Company to preserve historic structures and Colonial-era wood from sites taken over by development. They knew the forests that supplied that wood no longer exist. Once documented and disassembled, the pieces of wood go into storage until the right client comes along. Some of those clients have been Steven Spielberg, Bill Murray, and Larry David. Clients in the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket were especially interested in repurposed barns for pool houses, antique cars, restaurants, and artist studios. Closer to home, Endersby and Greenwood reassembled a barn to serve as the visitor center at Howell Living History Farm and a school house for the Schenck Farm, an historic site in West Windsor, among others.
The Wojciechowiczes had met Endersby when they all went hot air ballooning together. When the Wojciechowiczes bought a farm in Hillsborough, they put the barn into storage with the Barn Company. (They later sold the property but the barn is still in storage.) Eventually Endersby, Greenwood, and the Wojciechowiczes became friends and Alex, by now a licensed private pilot, would fly Endersby and Greenwood to see old barns.
In 1990 the Barn Company principals introduced the Wojciechowiczes to an English-style barn from behind the Plainsboro municipal building. The Wojciechowiczes bought it and the Barn Company was employed to do the move. They took apart that Plainsboro barn piece by piece, labeled it, fumigated it, and reassembled it on Herrontown Road. Greenwood and Endersby are purists, Wojciechowicz says. The barn is constructed with wooden pegs, not nails. All the vintage hardware is from Finkel's in Lambertville.
Wojciechowicz calls it a party barn — she has recently hosted two weddings, one for a granddaughter and one for a son. A crystal chandelier hangs from the rafters — Wojciechowicz got West Windsor artist Francois Guillemin, who has a studio in Hopewell, to rig it. Guillemin also crafted her copper counter with brass sculptural supports to the cabinetry above.
Bands often perform from the loft during parties. A spacious kitchen includes a six-burner stove. One area of the barn is Wojciechowicz's workout room, where a trainer and a massage therapist come regularly.
Also on the property is a guest house that was moved from River Road by the Barn Company—it's where the grandchildren stay when they visit and where she hosts opera singers for the Princeton Festival.
While all these improvements were made at Herrontown Road, Alex and Carol joined several other Princeton area families in buying some land on a small island not far from Puerto Rico, Culebra, which had been used as a site for militiary target practice. The Wojciechowiczes often traveled back and forth in his private plane, a twin-engine Cessna. On January 5, 2002, while ferrying their daughter, her husband and son, and her mother-in-law, from Culebra to San Juan Airport, Wojie crashed during stormy weather into a mountain top in Puerto Rico.
Back in Princeton the family called for memorial donations to be given to the Princeton Area Community Foundation. "So many gave money in their memory," Carol says. "I put it in the Princeton Area Community Foundation and earmarked it for the barn, in their honor."
Wojciechowicz, who served on the Township Committee between 1986 and 1989, has been on the Historical Society's board for as long as she can remember. "I've been through three directors," she says. Every four years she has had to rotate on and off. "Izzy Kasdin is brilliant and we're lucky to have her," she says of the young new executive director.
Restored by Ronnie Brezenger Architecture and Baxter Construction, the 125-year-old barn has become a premiere event space for weddings and fundraisers, and is a new venue for special programming organized by the Historical Society of Princeton.
The Wojciechowicz Barn at the Updike Farmstead was dedicated this past fall and has already hosted a panel discussion relating history and current events in the aftermath of Charlottesville. "Having our own space means we can schedule events like this more spontaneously," says Kasdin. In October the barn served as a backdrop for the screening of a light show by Swiss artist Gerry Hoffstetter, with images of Albert Einstein from Historical Society's collection projected on the barn. Several receptions and weddings have already shown the possibilities the space offers.
At 3,000 square feet, the barn can be used in three seasons. To maintain its barn-like integrity, it is not climate controlled. Spaces between boards allow the heat to escape — insulation would destroy the nature of it. Inside, the smell of the old-growth hemlock permeates, evoking a bit of Princeton's heritage.
The center beam is from a tree from the 1580s. The ceiling is about 50 feet high. "The beam is made from wood with the properties of trees you can't get today, giving it its resiliency," says Kasdin. Most of the wood is original, but for doors that had to be reconstructed, thermally modified poplar was used — it was literally scorched in an oven to enable it to resist water and rot. And it matches the existing old wood.
Originally a cow barn, there had been animal pens, a hay loft, and areas for equipment storage. The old wood removed in order to create the sleek contemporary concrete floor was used to create a wall for the gender-neutral and accessible bathrooms. Other contemporary amenities include a prep kitchen, outlets for caterers on the exterior (where cooking tents can be set up), Wi-Fi, a projection screen, amplification system and speakers. Features such as the lighting did not have to hew to historic standards, since there was no electric lighting during the era of the barn. For lectures and other seating events, the space can accommodate 150. Yet it is still very much a barn.
None of this would have been possible without the efforts of Carol Wojciechowicz. "Carol touches every bit of what we do here, from planning our annual house tour to sharing her knowledge of Princeton history," says Kasdin. "She was a force, fighting for the barn to be saved. She was adamant in prioritizing its completion." The project took 11 years. "Carol was committed to converting the space while keeping us debt free, and it was almost exclusively raised from private funds," Kasdin says.
"She would always remind us: It's a barn. It should feel like a barn."

Biscotti, Rossella
Biscotti, Rossella
Visual Arts
Like an archaeologist of twentieth-century history, Rossella Biscotti (b. 1978) reconstructs forgotten moments of the past through film footage, objects, and extensive research, re-linking these with the present through a contemporary examination of the significance of the hidden materials she recovers and reanimating these through re-enactments. Her work includes video and audio works, photographs, installations, and performances that question the notion of time in all its dimensions—historical, real, fictional. Biscotti's research is not limited to archives, but also involves personal encounters and oral interviews so that new histories are created around the officially written history and individual memories are brought to life in the present.
The starting point of her work is often the silent legacy of the architecture of historical locations and monuments. The work Il Processo (The Trial), begun in 2010 and ongoing since then, deals with the Aula Bunker in Rome, a high-security court building designed by the rationalist architect Luigi Moretti and built in 1934 at the Foro Italico in Rome. The trial known historically as "Processo 7 Aprile" was held there, in which members of the extra-parliamentary left-wing group Autonomia Operaia—including Antonio Negri, Paolo Virno and other intellectuals—were charged with being ideologically and morally responsible for Italian terrorism in the 1970s. Biscotti started her research in conjunction with a photography project on fascist architecture in Italy in 2006, just before the courthouse was converted into a sports museum. Before being demolished during renovations, Biscotti was able to salvage several elements, such as wooden benches and keys, and made casts of the courtroom's architectural details, which were then transformed into abstract-minimalist concrete sculptures.
A central component of the installation, which was shown at dOCUMENTA (13), among others, is an eight-hour Radio Radicale-initiated recording of the trial against members of the Autonomia Operaia, which took place between 1982 and 1984 in Rome, and which has been meticulously reconstructed within the history of the movement. As part of the installation, the transcribed recordings were performatively translated by professional simultaneous interpreters from Italian into various languages, thus reactivating the historical testimonies in the present through voice and body.
In a further step of embodiment, the English translation commissioned by Biscotti was recited in reading performances by various people from the artist's social circle, which were, in turn, recorded live by a shorthand typist. Thus, the trial remains in motion through speech and retransmission, its statements stay alive for the present time—the ideas of the Italian Autonomia movement on creativity, work, and capital still remain highly topical.

You had to have been there to really understand. The 1960's were a different time in America, as different from the time before and as they are different from our present. The 50's were the post World War II recovery years, led by President Eisenhower, the former Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe. He had been a five star Army general. He was as solid as a rock and carefully guided the country through a transition from a war-based economy to a normal civilian economy. It was well planned and well executed. It was tidy and predictable. The country had returned to "normal". Except that for some, and eventually for many, "normal" was no longer good enough.
It was President John F. Kennedy who ignited the spark in his Inaugural Address when he challenged Americans to go beyond themselves, to enter the New Frontier, and "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". An age of volunteerism was born. The Peace Corps was created. The Alliance for Progress was created. Human rights, and the lack of them, were being given front page notice. Equality of all races was preached. Equal opportunity was recognized as a right. It was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. It was the dawn of the Hippie movement. It was Woodstock. Harmony and understanding, and justice for all.
The Kennedy brothers, John, Bobby, and Ted all worked together during the time of President Kennedy's administration to effect social change in America. A new vision had arisen in American society -partially initiated by the Kennedys, but it was also an upwelling of public spirit that infused the Kennedys as much as they infused the public. It was the age of Martin Luther King. It was the age of Freedom and Freedom Riders and Freedom marches. The people of America had awakened from their slumber and realized that despite all the good things about America, the country still had a long way to go to fulfill the dreams of it founders, dreams of equality and liberty, and justice for all.
One by one these champions were assassinated by the foes of freedom. First John, then Martin, then Bobby. It remained for those who were left behind, people like Lyndon Johnson and Ted Kennedy to pick up the fallen torch and carry it forward. And carry it they did, because it was really Lyndon Johnson and Ted Kennedy who, over the years, actually worked within the system to effect social change and justice in America. They were not the men of the soaring visions and soaring rhetoric like those who had given their lives in the cause. But they were true believers in these ideals and they willing to work tirelessly for years to bring about the change of the great American visionaries of the 60's, and so the credit for so much that has been accomplished belongs not only to those who first enunciated the vision but to those who successfully struggled to see it accomplished.
Ted Kennedy was a true believer in those visions that arose in the 60's, but he knew that the heart of those visions was not new. It had been born in the suffering of his Irish ancestors who had undergone centuries of oppression, starvation, and theft of their land. It had been born in the suffering of the African Americans who had undergone centuries of slavery, discrimination, prejudice, and denial of the rights of an American citizen. It had been born in the stories of all of the world's tired and poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, who heard and heeded the call of Lady Liberty and believed in her torch that had been raised beside the Golden Door.
Ted Kennedy's last great quest was to make health care recognized as a right for all people and not just a privilege. It is an idea embodied in the Irish Constitution and is reflected in the governments and actions of most countries in the civilized world around the world today . The exception, of course, is the United States of America.
The last torch bearer of the 60's has fallen at last, but as he said before he fell, the torch has already been passed. Echoing the words of his brother, John, the torch has been passed to a new generation, led by President Obama. It is now up to this generation to succeed or fail, to change America from being a land ruled by the wealthy elite to a land of freedom, equality, and justice for all. The last of the great idealists of the 1960's left us today. The choice is now ours. Do we also pick up the torch and follow in Ted Kennedy's footsteps? Do we now truly rise up and follow our own human vision, informed by the great American visionaries of the past; or, our last hero fallen, will we falter and fail, and be seduced by the wicked lies of those among us whose only God is gold.

June Update 5
This is the end of my second week on shift. I only have one negative item to report. I heard a workmate of mine (although not in my department and not someone I often work with) refer to me in a distinctly derogatory fashion based entirely on the fact that I am transexual. There was a closed door between us at the time so perhaps I wasn't supposed to hear, but who knows. The head of our Human Resources Department has requested that such instances are reported instantly but I fear that this will make my re-integration into the workforce harder, not easier so my feelings on the matter are that it should be forgotten. Fortunately this is an isolated incident and although I can tell from their body language that some of my workmates are uncomfortable with or even antagonistic to my presence I have been subjected to no other abuse. In fact the vast majority of those I work with, including everybody in my department have been as friendly as they ever were.
I used my new passport this week. I travelled to France to run a formation tester which in the end was cancelled before I got to rig up on the well. I did not compromise, in terms of dress or deportment. I was not tempted to pretend to be male for the journey. I was nervous of passing through customs, having heard of the horror stories of others but in the event the officers at border control actually paid less attention to me than they did before. I stayed in a small hotel in Arcis-sur-Aube called the Hotel du Pont de Chalons which is worthy of mention because of the kindness and courtesy of the staff. I will use it again if I am in the area in the future.
I have been asked by a workmate what effect the hormones I am taking will have. I think this is a fair question, so I will answer it here.
I am using 100 microgram oestradiol patches (Estradot) which I change every 3 days. The known side effects are, the blockage of Testosterone function, decreased sperm production, low libido, breast developement, softening and feminising of facial features, movement of fat deposits from the stomach area to the hips and thighs, possible increase in blood pressure, an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis which comes with blood pressure increases and an increased risk of breast cancer, which comes with breast developement. Most of these symptoms are, from my point of view desirable. My blood pressure was unusually low before I started the hormone treatment, therfore the effect of the hormones is likely to bring my blood pressure up to a more normal level not to send it to a dangerously high level. Of course, I think the risks are worth taking otherwise I would not have started

After several years of litigation over the use of trademarks in paid search advertisements, or AdWords, Google recently introduced new policies protecting trademark owners. Google now requires written permission from the trademark owner in order to use a trademark term in the text of a paid search ad—even if the advertiser is a legitimate reseller of the trademarked product. This is a curious development considering that it departs from Google's past practice of being less aggressive with regard to trademark issues. For example, Google long ago abandoned a policy of permitting trademark owners to block bidding on trademarks used as ad words. The explanation for this change appears to be linked to a rare defeat for Google in a lawsuit relating to its AdWords advertising service.
Back in 2009, Rosetta Stone sued Google for trademark infringement, contributory infringement, and dilution based on Google's practice of allowing acknowledged counterfeiters of Rosetta Stone software to purchase sponsored search results using Rosetta Stone's name. Although the suit was initially dismissed by a federal court in 2010, in April 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reinstated Rosetta Stone's claims. The 4th Circuit found that there was a genuine question of fact as to whether web users would be confused about the source of sponsored search results purchased by acknowledged counterfeiters of Rosetta Stone software. The court's conclusion was based in part on internal Google documents that showed that consumers are often confused as to the meaning of sponsored search results. Moreover, the evidence in the case showed Rosetta Stone repeatedly notified of Google of paid search ads for counterfeit software—over 190 times in a seven month span.
The Rosetta Stone case is unusual in that it may be the first time that a trademark-related case involving AdWords appeared to be headed to trial. (In the US, that is—Google has lost a number of trademark cases in Europe and in fact has different AdWords policies there as a result). Not surprisingly, the case settled. No specific terms of the settlement have been disclosed, but in a somewhat terse joint statement, Google and Rosetta Stone announced their intention to "collaborate to combat online ads for counterfeit goods and prevent the misuse and abuse of trademarks on the Internet." Shortly thereafter, Google amended its Ad Words policies. Given the language of the joint statement, and the timing of the subsequent change in Ad Words policies, it seems likely that the Rosetta Stone case is responsible for the new requirement that trademark owners provide permission for the use of trademarks in paid search ad copy.
Beyond the change to Google's policies, the case is significant going forward as well. It suggests that Google may be held responsible in instances in which it has knowledge that the ads create confusion and/or point to counterfeiters' web sites. This marks a new development in the area of paid search infringement analysis that bears further watching.

The glabella is the smooth part of the forehead above and between your eyebrows. As you age, your skin's elasticity will begin to degrade and as a result, this area becomes prone to developing frown lines. This can make you look much older and cause you to give off the perpetual look of frowning.
There are a great deal of cosmetic procedures available for treating frown lines and wrinkles. One of the most popular treatment methods, however, is Botox. If you desire a more youthful look, then Botox is the answer to your problems.
Getting Rid of 11's by Giving you a Youthful Countenance
Having frown lines can add years to your face, but through the power of a Botox treatment, you can target specific areas and reduce or eliminate severe frown lines and wrinkles. The treatment is designed to give your youthful good looks a significant boost.
The treatment is minimally invasive and can be done very quickly. Many people often schedule sessions during their lunch breaks and are finished in time to return to work. It can also be combined with other cosmetic treatments for an even greater improvement. The downtime is minimal and you can return to your normal daily activities soon after the treatment is over.
Why is Botox Ideal for Treating Your Forehead Eleven's
Frown lines are a form of dynamic wrinkles that form because of the expansion and contraction of the facial muscles. Over the course of time, the facial expressions you make on a daily basis can stretch out the skin and cause the formation of wrinkles. Botox is the ideal solution to this problem, because it relaxes the muscles that cause the wrinkles and it can be customized to suit the needs of any individual.
While your frown lines may not be removed completely, this treatment will definitely give you the smooth skin and youthful look you desire. You can speak to your doctor to learn more about the procedure.
The Treatment to Subtract Elevens
The Botox injection should only be given by an experienced professional who has experience performing the treatment. Once you and your doctor have decided on the appropriate sites of injection, the Botox will then be injected into the target areas. The number of units given will depend upon the severity of your frown lines.
What to Expect After The Treatment
You may notice some slight swelling or bruising near your eyebrows or the top part of your nose. These symptoms are normal and will reduce quickly. While the effects of botox aren't permanent, it is safe to come back for repeat treatments. That way, you can reap the benefits of Botox for a long time to come and retain your youthful look for as long as you like.
Contact Our Office
Frown lines can zap the vitality and youthful allure from your face. Having a Botox treatment done, however, will save you from those problems and rejuvenate your youthful good looks without having to undergo a highly invasive treatment. Interested in learning more about the procedure? Contact our office today to schedule a consultation!

That's Zechie up there.
You know... Z-Dogg. Zechariah Yohannes. My bubba.
I love that little guy so much.
And so many of you guys claim to as well.
And it's you guys - the ones who really know us and really do love our little homie - who will understand this fear right here.
Each day that passes brings me closer to the potential of this reality...
He's 14 years old , it's dusk and it's getting cold,
He's running late, wasn't doing what he was told;
The game ran long - he knew he might be in trouble,
But sorta worth it - cuz he landed a triple double;
Friends are packing up, high fives and headed home,
He put in his headphones for the walk back home alone;
He paused for a second - questioning - as if "well should he?"
But it was dusk and he was cold so he pulled on his favorite hoodie;
He started walking, smiled and said aloud,
"Triple double!" Mom won't care but dad will be proud!
The route home was about a mile - long but nothing hard,
He could shorten it though - if he cut through a few yards;
He was running late - and the lock wasn't on the gate,
It made his path straight - honestly? No debate;
He ran through. Quietly shut the gate behind him,
"You're late" - a text alert from home just to remind him;
One more yard to go, Ms. Jones - she shouldn't care,
She always waved at him and admired his puffy hair;
But tonight he had in braids - Ms. Jones didn't recognize,
Saw him through her window - thought "he's here to burglarize!"
Rounding the last corner flashing lights bathed his street,
Cars parked, guns drawn, "Show us your hands and feet!"
Panic. All these thoughts ran through his head,
All the things his parents said to help him not end up dead;
Hands trembling. "Dad will help - and I know he's at home"
As he reached into his pocket to pull out his cellular phone;
And there he stood - drenched in streetlights feeling afraid,
Baggy shorts, headphones and a hoodie up over his braids;
He had already dialed as the phone came up near his ear,
"Dad... help!" - the last words his family would hear;
A judgment call was made. Or maybe a bias reaction,
Being brown, baggy and braided seems like the only infraction;
And that night... it was dusk and getting cold,
When 27 bullets ended the life of a 14 year old.
This is who we are... and these are the fears that we feel every day as we parent these awesome gifts from God towards an adulthood in a country that simply doesn't always see them the way we do.
So hate us. Protest the protests. Unfriend us, block us,turn your backs on us or stay dead silent on the whole thing.
But know that we simply cannot do that with you... because...
This is us.

The deal was completed last Wednesday (17 May) and Zünd UK will now be an official subsidiary of Zünd Systemtechnik.
Zünd UK was founded as a privately owned Zünd reseller in 1993 but shares have now been sold by its former owner and managing director Tim Taylor to Zünd Systemtechnik. Taylor has stayed on as UK commercial director and a new managing director, former Hybrid national sales manager Stuart Cole, began in the role in mid-March.
Cole said that in the run-up to the completion of the deal, changes had been taking place steadily behind the scenes to make the transition "as easy as possible".
He said: "The relationship between Zünd UK and Zünd Switzerland was incredibly strong before this and all this has done is further strengthen that relationship and the commercial ability of the company, but in the outside world nothing really changes."
Zünd UK has now initiated a recruitment drive, which should see around four to six additional staff brought in to the 30-staff company, in the engineering and sales departments.
"We've had some significant growth in sales over the last few months and the requirements are there to continue that growth and support those customers to the levels they need," added Cole.
In a statement last week, Zünd chief executive Oliver Zünd said: "We are delighted to be able to welcome Zünd Plotting Systems (UK) to our global group of companies. Working with our newest subsidiary, we look forward to strengthening our position in the UK market and continuing to expand our customer base."
Prior to his role with Hybrid, Cole founded Graphic Printing Technologies (GPT), which was then acquired by Amari Plastics. He said his time with Zünd so far had "been a bit of a journey".
He added: "You never know quite what a company or relationship is going to be like until you're on the inside and certainly what I saw from the outside is very much what it is on the inside. It's very positive from my perspective."
Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, Zünd UK distributes and resells Zünd's digital cutting systems, modules and tools to the UK market.

High level of commitment and professionalism
"Sam Cole and the Anreps team were outstanding.
When we decided to put our property on the market, we wanted to maximise our return without sacrificing quality in the marketing.
In the lead up to choosing Anreps, we attended many open inspections in our area and were consistently disappointed with the local "professional" agents - we kept saying...."we could do a better job running an open inspection". We did however know our limitations and needed some assistance in the marketing of the home and the negotiation with potential buyers.
And so we did some research and came across the Anreps "Smart Sale" way of selling. This product represented extremely good value for money (our overall net costs were less than 30% of a normal commissioned agent's), with the added benefit of allowing us to run the "opens" and yet drawing on the Anreps market exposure as well as the negotiating expertise of Sam Cole and his team.
One could be led to believe that a cheaper option would mean an inferior product. This certainly wasn't the case with Anreps. Sam Cole worked exceedingly hard for us with a high level of commitment and professionalism - it was as if he were selling his own home the whole way through! Not only this, Sam and his staff are a pleasure to deal with and extremely patient with their clients!
If we sell in the future, we won't hesitate to use Anreps again. We will also continue to recommend their services at every opportunity - this testimonial being just one way we can do this.
Thank you to Sam and the Anreps team.
- Karl and Jacqui, vendors of Bowman Ave Belair
Sold after 3 weeks
Over the last forty years I have sold several houses and each time I have come away from the experience feeling cheated. I have felt that the agents were acting in their own interests and not mine and that their commission was out of proportion to the work they put in selling my property.
However, all that changed with my last sale. I chose ANREPS because, of all the market valuations I received it was the only one which, I felt, was realistic and not driven by some hidden agenda to sell too cheaply or set the price way above market value. My house in Balhannah sold after three weeks, I saved myself more than $10,000.00 in commission and Sam Cole couldn't have been more helpful and supportive throughout the whole process.
It has been a pleasure to do business with ANREPS and I would never consider selling property with any other real estate company. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants to save money and wants to feel like they have been treated fairly and honestly when selling their property.
- Vendor; Christine Johnson, Balhannah
It was a great pleasure
It was a great pleasure to have Anreps sell our home. They made it stress free experience and kept us informed every step of the way. We would recommend Anreps to anyone who wishes to sell their home.
- Vendors; F & C Ellis
We are both so pleased
Just a little note to say "thank you" for all your help in helping us sell our own home. I had heard your Anreps ad on the radio so many times and thought what a good idea, I said to Norm if we ever move to another home I want to sell our house ourselves. So when that time came I had no hesitation in ringing you for an appointment and was very impressed with your fees and the help that you provide.
You came along and took all the photo's, had someone do a floor plan, you made up the signage and listed it on the internet. I must say it all looked very professional. We were so excited about our first open we actually opened before the time stated, as we had so many cars driving up and down our street. We only had the two open days and it was sold.
We are both so pleased that we went with Anreps as we saved so much on commission by doing the opens ourselves and enjoyed meeting potential buyers and displaying our home to them. As the old saying goes "Who knows their home better than the people who call it home". After all we were very proud of our home.

Agriculture has changed significantly considering the fact that the end of Planet War II. Meals and fiber productivity has soared due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization, and government policies that favored maximizing production and reducing food prices. It consists of one hundred hours (divided into 27 modules) of experienced development for use in pre-service teacher courses as well as the in-service education of teachers, curriculum developers, education policy makers, and authors of educational supplies.
The importance of agricultural practices was further established when 'Organic food' started as a modest movement decades ago, with gardeners and farmers rejecting the use of standard non-organic practices. Meals and agriculture have also gained widespread focus, and usually controversy.
In addition to classroom instruction, students have the opportunity for genuine-globe direct marketing expertise through involvement in the Shone Farm CSA (Neighborhood Supported Agriculture) system, and by way of a weekly on-campus farm stand held throughout the expanding season.
Through its philosophy of such as all probable solutions and technologies, sustainable intensification is delivering a cover for environmentally destructive practices as properly as corporate concentration of food production, inputs and distribution.
Students wishing to obtain the sustainable agriculture minor ought to total a minimum of 18 credits. Simply because sustainable agriculture is a practical topic, it lends itself to teaching through enquiry learning methods. SNRE currently provides several agricultural classes as element of its organic sources management degree. Large and moderately significant farms employ workers to undertake the many jobs relating to cultivation of crops and care of farm animals. Lots of practices improve excellent of drinking and surface water, as nicely as to protect wetlands. A systems approach also implies interdisciplinary efforts in study and education.

Powder Painting - KTL, a.s.
What is powder painting and how does it work?
Powder painting is a single-layer surface treatment of metals. This coating system is used in particular as final treatment of metal surfaces for protecting the products against corrosion, as well as for improving the aesthetic appearance of final products.
Powder painting is performed on a semi-automatic painting line using static application by corona. Powder particles are electrically charged using the electrostatic field, while the painted object is grounded. The resulting electrostatic force is sufficient to create an adequate layer of powder on the object. The powder remains on the place until it melts and adheres to the surface in a coherent layer.
Advantages of powder painting
● Ecological – powder coatings do not contain solvents,
● Resistance – metal is protected against scratching and other mechanical damages,
● Anticorrosive properties,
● Colour stability and a wide choice of many different color hues,
● Variability of the final appearance.
Powder painting is applicable for
● Automotive industry,
● Mechanical engineering industry,
● Building industry,
● Electrical power industry,
● Consumer goods industry.
Key features of powder painting
Powder painting markedly improves aesthetic appearance of a final product. There is a variety of options as to the final finish from smooth gloss through various structural surfaces to a matt, coarse and rough variant.
Powder painting can be applied for both outer and inner surfaces of metal parts. Combined with cataphoresis, an excellent and stable coating system can be achieved.
Technological procedure of metal surface treatment by powder painting
Degreasing I – degreasing II – water rinse – drying following the pre-conditioning – application of powder paint substances – baking of powders
Technical parameters of powder painting
Lakum-KTL, a.s.
|Maximum product dimensions:
|200 x 1100 x 1100 mm (w × h × l)
|Line capacity:
|100 hangers per hour

|Adjustable up to 220 °C
|Conveying speed:

Other information
Powder painting surface treatment of metals is suitable both for large-lot painting in one colour hue and for small-batch treatment in a wide variety of colour hues. In Lakum we are capable to ensure both the manufacture of individual parts and their pre-treatment, which is crucial for ensuring the high-class quality of powder painting.

"Well, you've certainly been a great help to a helpless man! You came to the rescue just in the nick of time! What wonderful advice you've given to a mixed-up man! What amazing insights you've provided! Where in the world did you learn all this? How did you become so inspired?" ~Job 26:1-3 After […]
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
~Hebrews 10:23
I was unpacking the last of the boxes that were in storage in Florida when I came across one that was filled with pictures taken ten years ago. The pictures actually made me laugh as I looked at myself posed in front of the Duomo in Florence, Italy. I looked so earnest; I was trying so hard to appear fashionable because I'd recently lost fifty pounds and thought the new skinny me in my new wardrobe would be my key to happiness. It was, in some respects; I had a great time. Yet it was still the same old me inside, with all of the same old insecurities.
As I looked at those pictures, I wondered: Do we ever change over the years?
I guess the reason this is on my mind is that I recently had one of those "milestone" birthdays.
When I was younger, I always looked to the future and thought of the things I would accomplish and how different I would be at some future date. Like when I "grew up".
As I looked at those pictures of me, then considered the row of journals that sit on my bookshelf spanning the course of twenty five years of my life, and as I unpacked that beautiful white lingerie that I bought fifteen years ago to wear on the wedding night that never happened, I realized that really, despite all the milestones that come with age, we don't actually change the core of who we are.
When I lived in New York and worked on Wall Street, I imagined the pinnacle of my life would be when I turned 45, and I pictured myself riding to the office each morning in the back of a limousine. Today, that would be my idea of hell. In fact, it was just that mental picture that inspired me to leave New York, nearly twenty years ago.
I never became that woman I thought I wanted to be. Instead, I did something completely different. Though I have finally achieved many of the things I hoped for, while other goals remain elusive, what I find the most disconcerting is that inside, I am still the uncertain young girl I thought I'd eventually outgrow.
I always thought that with time and accomplishing my goals, all those fears and insecurities would somehow melt away and with age I would become more confident. Surprisingly, I haven't evolved into something different than I was back then. I'm still Suzanne, with all my overblown self-doubt, my fear that no one likes me, that I'll always fall short no matter how hard I try, and that I am not talented enough to be the popular girl. And I wonder what the point of the journey is if we can never escape that person we wanted to change, no matter how much we accomplish or how far we travel from where we first began?
And then . . .
Just when I think I've found a great truth, and I've decided that the best course is to simply aim a little lower, I instead discover something that turns my conclusion on its head.
Recently my mother has begun to cook, which is something for which she never exhibited the patience or interest for the first eighty-three years of her life. Then this past weekend she picked up my old battered copy of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and decided she was going to try a few recipes. She, who has been willingly displaced from her home (by choosing to join me in Colorado like Naomi from the Biblical book of Ruth) and who chugs along on a heart that operates at forty percent of its original capacity, has created a new life for herself here and found a grace and contentment that she never had before. What she seems to know instinctively (she's always been a woman of action rather than the self-absorbed navel gazing that I excel in) is how to make the most of where you are geographically and spiritually. And as a result, her life is much richer.
My mother's example reminds me that when we are willing to grow in our circumstances and allow God to lead us in our daily lives, we can accomplish our dreams, even as they change to reflect our spiritual maturity.
With new perspective, I look at the pictures of who I was then and compare them with who I am now, and I realize that as slowly and surely as the flow of water over rocks, God has smoothed my rough edges. He has brought me into a closer walk with Him. My journey is not complete, but I can see progress. Although it has been at times a painful journey, with many detours and delays, I am finally realizing the dreams I first dreamt when I decided to leave New York, twenty years ago.
Do we ever grow up? I believe the answer is yes, with the grace of God we can grow up and become the women that we've always wanted to be and, more importantly, the women that God has created us to be through the dreams he put in our hearts.
As you look back on the last ten or twenty years, how have your dreams changed? Is there one that you are still working on? Or have you embraced new dreams? Do you feel God calling you to revisit an old dream, or is He calling you to a new dream?

Expenses are a necessary part of operating any business and controlling expenses is critical to keeping your business profitable. To manage your business successfully, you should recognize that not all expenses are created equal. Variable expenses are the "good" expenses since they only increase as your sales and production activity increases.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Variable costs go up or down according to your production volume. If your business increases the number of items it's selling, then the cost of your raw materials, shipping and packaging will also increase.
Variable Expenses and Examples
Variable expenses coincide directly with production volume and sales. For example, if you sell women's clothing online, there are packaging costs, shipping costs and credit card fees associated with every transaction. If you sell $10,000 worth of product, these expenses might come to $1,000. If you triple your sales to $30,000, your transaction expenses rise to $3,000. Rising variable expenses are typically a good sign because it means you're selling more product.
In a production setting, your raw materials are the most purely variable cost of all. As production increases to meet demand, you'll need more raw materials to manufacture more product. Higher machinery usage also increases costs for oil, maintenance and repairs. Other variable expenses typical of many businesses include packaging, shipping, vehicle fuel, sales commissions, performance bonuses to employees, telephone bills, office supplies, delivery charges, marketing costs and credit card fees. If you pay employees on an as-needed basis or for piece rate labor which is paid to workers for every unit completed, then these expenses will also be a variable expense.
Difference Between Fixed and Variable Expenses
In most businesses, the bulk of all expenses are fixed expenses. This is the overhead you must pay to keep your business running, regardless of your sales volume. Rent, mortgage payment, salaries, insurance payments, loan repayments and utilities are all examples of fixed expenses. These costs are much harder to reduce than variable expenses. To reduce rent, for example, you'd have to move to smaller premises or share your office space. These expenses are more likely to cause financial problems for your business when they are too high.
Controlling Variable Expenses
Variable expenses are driven by activity and usually are a positive factor for your business. However, it's still possible for a variable expense to be greater than necessary. For example, you might have a high rate of product returns that increase your shipping costs. Or, you might have a poor deal from the packaging supplier that keeps you from taking advantage of volume discounts. Examining your variable expenses and finding ways to reduce them is one of the easiest ways to improve your margins and boost your profitability.

last that i heard was that this season he became eligible for playing for NZ????
Printable View
last that i heard was that this season he became eligible for playing for NZ????
Yes, he's once again playing for Otago this season...and I believe he does qualify for NZ residency at the end of this season.
I do not know however whether he wants to play for NZ & even if NZ would want him.
Hes playing for Kaikorai under Billy Ubadulla, not doing to badly, still as lazy as anything in the field. He just needs to really apply himself when he does he scores runs at will.
Billy Ubadulla was the reason why Otago signed Wasim 3 years ago wasn't he? I think he's also under-utilised by NZ cricket. I heard he's extremely knowledgable on reverse swing & leg-spin.
If he gets the runs on the board, and says he would committ himself to New Zealand, then I would have no problems with him playing for the Black Caps.
Would be an interesting situation if were to play Tests for NZ, and that Tesst happened to be against Pakistan.
I don't think it'll ever come to that though. I seriously doubt NZ would pick Wasim. While he's been steady with the bat for Otago, he hasn't been prolific.
Billy Ubadulla was apporached to coach Pakastain about two years ago, but couldint come to terms with the PCB.
The other problem with selecting him is his age, although NZ do need a partner for Richardson.
yeah he hasn't been scoring very well at all.
How old is Mohammed Wasim anyway?
27 years and 95 days, not too old, has a few good years left in him.
He is classy enough to, if he wants to play for us. i hope he does.
Saw him play some club cricket today, when bowling he bowled abit of everything and he looked good at the crease until he fell over himself LBW.
What did he make?
Wasn't really paying much attention to that game was watching the one on the field over. I think he got around 15 or so.

Thomas still ahead in Australia
Britain's Geraint Thomas maintained his five-second overall lead after the fourth stage at the Tour Down Under.
German sprinter Andre Greipel claimed his second stage of the week.
Continue reading the main story
"We stayed near the front with about 10 kilometres to go and the boys kept me out of trouble"
Geraint Thomas
Team Sky rider Thomas remains ahead of Dutchman Tom-Jelte Slagter in the overall standings after finishing safely in the peloton.
"It was a stressful day as there was a bit of wind, and I think everyone was thinking about the potential cross-wind sections," said the Welshman.
Thomas had to steer clear of two crashes in the final two kilometres.
The first brought down four riders while the second involved 15 cyclists.
"The boys were great. We stayed near the front with about 10 kilometres to go and they kept me out of trouble," said the
double Olympic gold medallist.
Greipel also managed to avoid trouble with Italy's Roberto Ferrari and Australia's Jonathan Cantwell second and third respectively.
Thomas holds on to the ochre jersey with just two stages remaining.
On Saturday the riders will take on the fifth stage which covers 151.5km, with three laps of a circuit starting from McLaren Vale before the final climb of Old Willunga Hill.
