This is (I think) going to be fairly short...but we will see since the blogs have been getting longer over the past few months.
Maz spent here day on set out in the cold (not really cold, it just sounds better) and didn't wrap till midnight. She is back at it again tomorrow, has Thursday off and then could possibly be working on Friday. Awesome way to spend the week leading up to body art awards huh?
Maz got the most awesome surprise this evening when arriving home, sat down at the computer as normal and went about the catch up business, till Russell said "do you notice anything different with the computer area". She didn't though, well besides the odd looking pen sitting on top of the monitor.
And then Russell showed her...*ta-daaaaaaa* her very own drawing tablet for the computer. How fuckin awesome is that?
Maz can't wait to try it out, but it is going to have to wait till she isn't on set or doesn't have body art stuff to sort out.
About 200 Inland Revenue staff at an Upper Hutt mail room were evacuated this morning when staff opened a package containing white powder, which later turned out to be harmless. Preliminary ESR analysis suggested the powder was not a dangerous substance but until further testing was done it could be described as "a white powder", said Upper Hutt police area commander Inspector Michael Hill. About 7.30am a mail room worker apparently opened the envelope, saw the powder and said "Wow, I'm getting out of here," Mr Hill said. There was a large emergency services response and IRD staff were evacuated for about an hour. Those who came into contact with the package underwent a Fire Service decontamination process. Police were conducting a criminal investigation and the envelope would be forensically tested to try and determine who sent it, Mr Hill said. The results were expected in the next day or two.
A Maori couple say they will think twice about helping others after being pepper-sprayed and arrested when trying to help a seriously injured man on the Gold Coast.
Kararaina Ngoungou and Munro Waerea, both 24 and from Whakatane, were out on the last night of a holiday with two other former Otago University friends and another acquaintance. The group of five had left their motel in Surfers Paradise just before midnight on Saturday when they saw a man who appeared to be in his mid-20s lying in a pool of blood on the footpath. Police were standing by the man but left before the group reached him. Ms Ngoungou, a dental hygienist, said she was worried about the man's condition because no ambulance had arrived. She took off her jumper and was looking for a wound so she could apply pressure while Mr Waerea checked for a pulse. "I was thinking, 'Did he fall?, was he stabbed?' I was worried that no one was applying pressure to stop the blood. He was unconscious, this guy looked almost dead." Moments later police returned to the scene and immediately approached the friends. One reached for his pepper-spray straight away, Mr Waerea said. None of his group was given a chance to explain that they were trying to help. (Read More...)
A resident of Muff Road in the town of Orari 130km south west of Christchurch is asking for his street to be renamed. Not only would a name change prevent the street signs thefts that have plagued the road, but it would also be a chance to recognise the original geographic name of the district, resident Roger Payne said. "Because of the ongoing problem with signage, I would like to see the original geographic name restored so the road could have safe signage." Mr Payne said old survey maps showed the road as Ohapi Rd, and he suggested that would be a good alternative as it ties in with the name of a local creek, the Timaru Herald reported. It would also recognise Ohapi Settlement, an area given to returned servicemen to farm after World War II.
A big British supermarket chain, Waitrose, is refusing to stock New Zealand-caught hoki - which is certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) - because bottom trawling is used in the fishery.
The figures are unavailable but the day started out beautiful, then in typical Auckland style it turned to shitty grey clouds, followed by some rain, then some sun, then some spits and a bit of a chilly wind. However it wasn't an overly cold day.
