Walking Stick, sure GDad - it's your Pimp Stick dog.

Hoodies being banned in Malls is unsettling for two reasons.
The branding of kids as little toe rags. It's pointless too as a cap & a nod of the head at the right time, achieve the same end. The guys who do this are pro and will clean the shop out of what they want. One shoplift trick is a hole in the jacket pocket with an elastic/wetsuit belt around the midrift and with seemingly hands in pocket snatch an item unseen, place it in the belt and walk out - so jackets should be banned?
The place Malls have as an area of importance in our society and that this space is private and able to exclude people from entering, or modifying dress & behaviour is a bit too powerful for my liking.

A bit clumsy wasn't it.
Just trying to draw parrallels to clothing and that a hood once was the hight of dress.

Hood
The traditional BA fur lined hood worn with an undergraduate gown for graduation from the University of Cambridge.The hood was originally a functional garment, worn to shield the head from the elements. In the English tradition, it has developed to an often bright and decorative garment worn only on special occasions. It is also worn by clergy of the Anglican Communion in choir dress, over the surplice, and it is common in cathedrals, churches, and chapels for the choirmaster and/or members of the choir to wear an academic hood to which they are entitled during services, over their cassock and surplice, although only for the choir offices - Mattins and Evensong - but not for Eucharist.
Hoods comprise two basic patterns, 'full shape' or 'simple shape'. The traditional "full-shape" hood consists of a cape, cowl and liripipe, as is used at Cambridge. At Oxford, the bachelors' and masters' hoods use "simple" hoods which have lost their cape, and retain only the cowl and liripipe. Some universities only have a cape and cowl and no liripipe; these are referred to as the "Aberdeen shape". Various other universities have different shapes and patterns of hoods, in some cases corresponding to the pattern current at the ancient universities at the time when they were founded, and in others representing a completely new design.
The colour and lining of hoods in academic dress represents the rank and faculty of the wearer. In many Commonwealth universities bachelors wear hoods edged or lined with white rabbit fur, while masters wear hoods lined with coloured silk (originally ermine or other expensive fur). Doctors' hoods are normally made of scarlet cloth and lined with coloured silk.

Tax cuts = Rates rises.
It's not that too much has been taken in tax it's that it has been held centrally when so much responsibility has been decentralised to District & Regional Councils.

Ben, let me.
Green is obviously organic and the sugar is sourced from their sugar beet & the milk is from feral goats (no added flavour - organic or otherwise)
Act would be the over full export varieties from tip top (prior to its closure) that are printed in foriegn languages with strange tastes to our palet.
Kiwi - is relabled damaged or expired goods contracted to be bought by a family with diabeties.
NZ First - has been at the bottom of the freezer for the past 10 years & is now frozen in place. No-one can remeber if it was supposed to have chewy balls in it or not, but it has now. Obviously the freezer need to be defrosted & cleaned out.
United Future - is the child that missed out or dropped theirs on the ground and throws a paddie.

I was taken a back by an 'official' email advertising the local Merlins Rugby Club "Dirty Girls" night going through Lincoln Uni yesterday.
It came from the LUSA entertainment organiser and was passed on to everyone on campus.
Totally sexist - girls are free!
But seriously I never thought I'ld see an official email like this.

I've been told Romeo & Juliet were 14yrs old?
And a little unsettled at the 14yr old model who sat for Hinemoa and is cast in bronze at the edge of lake Rotorua.
I think, to a degree, our sensibilities have changed in relation to our extended years upon this earth.
