This timeline from Mackasy shows just how Chinese change their names, whether it be the Company that was looking to buy and bought Crafar farms or Company donating to National or Company exporting Milk, Honey, Kauri, and Scampi, they all tie back to the same guy. Deyi, (Stone?), Shi and Oravida.
Oh I see Deep Red showed this earlier. Still, I think Mackasy is onto something here.

Peaches Geldoff od's. Tox report.
Now here is a drug (Heroin) that really has no way of determining strength, unless you chase the Dragon which is the natural process. Once it's in powder form ,and once people shoot it up, an overdose can occur within a minute and that is all she wrote. An overdose is just nodding off and not coming to, for those not in the know. Very simply though, one leaves the world. Sometimes one is not alone and help arrives in time. Sometimes friends can bring you around in time and if they monitor you ,you will survive. Guaranteed though an overdose will not stop that person having another dose until they decide to give it away, if ever. I suspect it's the same with all drugs but some people can just decide to indulge occasionally and that really is what works for cannabis. Shooting Heroin takes some people away but that is a given and I dont think it is a problem. It's a natural order. jmo -
Cracker: The Colorado Experiment, in reply to Steve Curtis,
Your welcome. Maybe you could have said more of your itinerary in the main story than this -
O c'mon, Damian can write in what ever fashion he likes. Why you be so demanding?
His version of what is probably the biggest in society now is accurate. And he is middle class if that's how you want to box him and just because you may work in a retail or cubicle job does not make it a bullshit one. I did retail for 20 years ,had a ball. But fuck, there are some bullshit ones. Don't take that comment seriously about you.
I actually really enjoyed Damian's account on the fact that I knew peeps there and knew what it was like there before, and he portrayed the turn around really well I thought. He said he went on account of a job he cant talk about at the mo. Watch this space I imagine. -
Hard News: A Big Idea, in reply to bmk,
If you say it won’t work with only people voluntarily in the scheme then I don’t think it will work if everyone is in the scheme. There are already enough people in KS that if the idea is sound it will work and this will save forcing people into it who either don’t want to or can’t afford it.
Oh no I didnt mean that it wont work ,I meant if its compulsory its affordable. Anyway, I’m leaving this big Idea thread now, heading over to the marijuana thread, and calling into the food thread when I get hungry, G’nite
(I might be at the Maaaarijuana thread for some time) -
Hard News: A Big Idea, in reply to bmk,
I could be in favour of it if KS were to remain voluntary. But in this form I’m sadly feeling like this might be the first election I don’t vote in.
What does that achieve? I asked David Parker to consider low income and beneficiary situations of which isn't compulsory, and I expect they will make sure it's affordable. They are increasing minimum wage too remember , that's another tool. Labour will consider all who get scared, I'm sure. Darien Fenton would have a hissy fit if she thought it was hurting low income.

Hard News: A Big Idea, in reply to Moz,
I’m in the “trying to save to buy a house” category so the only way this would help me is if it pushed interest rates up or caused house prices to collapse.
I'm in the "trying to sell a house"category and if interest rates stay low, that has to help any mortgage payments. If you are debt free and can buy your house without a mortgage, I don't see a problem. I'm going to that and have no cause to think I should have more than anyone else so would not be upset by lower interest on my savings but that's just me. Wanna buy a house? ;)

Like say, working for families (which apparently National invented /sarcasm) and something else for those who choose not to have families.

Yes, I suspected it might be distress, soo I've asked him. Some beneficiaries are already in Kiwisaver, and to head toward 9% could put them straight into the distress category anyway so that hopefully is addressed too. I await his answer.
Oh, and thanks for yours too!
