btw, "Two months" takes us into next year. So I'll just say it now: "Happy Holiday Season everyone, and Happy New Year" - especially to TRP & Lanth!
Lanth's comments over the years have been astute, concise, incisive, and pretty much right on the mark most times. There is often an undertone of droll, and also often, a beam of a different light shone onto whatever's going on, noting something others ...
Perhaps you all did not see my comment at end of OM 12th Nov (I thought we might need it). On Tuesday night 15th November (our time) will be the closest full moon to earth since 1948. If you are one of those people who often feel the full moon effects, ...
I see Lanth is not a mod/ author - just that she or he has been around about as long as I can remember, and in that time I never saw anything remotely offensive.

The Standard is broken. But it can be fixed. It's like a rambunctious family. Don't give up. Look what is happening y'all - and look at who started this divisiveness Dividing, destroying, annihilating - that was the name of the game for one party and one ...
I’d say give it another week yet. At least until the protests die down a bit Please can we have a new one? The one that's there - Post-US Election Discussion Post - is from several days ago and is filling up fast. Many thanks.
Sounds like a plan :) We could give you references :) :) We could probably throw in a bonus of some sort, if that would help? I hear it's lovely over there - very exciting stuff! (for cv)
Well I hope so, but unless I see confirmation of that somewhere, I wouldn't rely on it.
positioned Trump as the woman hater, the neo-Hitler, the racist bigot, the KKK supporter. And here's me thinking he did it all by himself.. I must have been hallucinating when I thought I saw him prowling behind her like a menacing stalker on the stage.. ...
Yes, nevertheless Pike River happened one month to the day following a major aftershock of that 2010 Canterbury Quake. How safe are the other mines? If they're not 100%, it might be a good time to stop and check and do upgrades.
Now, after the Kaikoura quake, someone has noted on Radio Live that the Pike River mine collapse happened exactly one month after the 2010 Canterbury quake, and he is calling for mines to be closed from now until the main aftershocks are passed and the ...
Someone was on Radio Live 5 mins ago saying that it was just after another quake that Pike River happened, and that all mines should be closed now until the main aftershocks are over and they are sure that all is safe.
Kia kaha Pike River women. I hope you on your brave and lonely vigil and your supporters are all right. Yes, the thoughts of many are with you.
I'm sure Pike River was one of the things she was very sad to have to leave unfinished. ... And I think she would be trying to put a grenade under their seats to go out and do something about it :)
any visit by O’Conner to the blockade? I don't know, it doesn't stand out. He needs to go there and start shouting. (Maybe Greywarshark or someone else knows.)
You know, Labour, or any other opposition party, are missing a huge opportunity here, to show they are more than delicate wee patsies. Feelings run deep across Aotearoa for what happened at the mine, though people may not speak it. Nats don't care - ...
Little should be suggesting to Damian O’Conner he should be camping out with them… Well, with or without Andrew's advice, this will show whether O'Connor gives a damn. Because that is exactly what he should be doing. If he doesn't, why would the workers of...
Key will make the call based in this information. Nope. See my comment and the link below. They've given the decision- making final say to the vested interests. JK and Nick Smith have just shrugged and passed the buck. As Andrew Little says at the same ...
It is an abrogation of responsibility by Nick Smith to hand the final decision for sealing the mine, to Solid Energy. The determination of whether or not the mine is safe enough to enter should NOT be left to the company because they are always going to ...
"There are people in that mine who survived just like I did," Pike River mine survivor: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11747378 There is no doubt in Daniel Rockhouse's mind that he and Russell Smith were not the only two who ...
Might have had something to do with the supermoon, though. My thoughts go out to all those affected - So much damage. So sorry for Christchurch to be hit yet again, and now all around Kaikoura of course. State of emergency has been lifted for Dunedin - ...

Outside, dogs are howling in the distance - some are barking, some are howling like wolves - weird sound that I have rarely heard. All the other animals and birds are silent.
They're evacuating people in Dunedin apparently - CV - Let us know when/ if you're okay? Report said they're driving around with loudspeakers to get people out. (I slept through this one.)
Our Justice System needs an overhaul. It is a bit of a train wreck, far too often. I wonder if Andrew Little would put that on the agenda somewhere.
Plans for sealing off are "delayed": Environment Minister Nick Smith said the delay stemmed from the emotion surrounding the upcoming anniversary [of the miners' deaths] on Saturday. --- Solid Energy will return the mine to the Department of Conservation (...
