They just look like tree ferns, but they’re not really.

I just don’t go there. I find clearing house research PDFs more soothing:)
I made the mistake Saturday on the TV3 site. That's one experience that reminded me why I don't get involved anywhere else than here. Some odd balls there. :)

But here we have NZ’s second-largest city, full of people ready and willing to tell our own stories.
That’s why I thought of Campbell Live. When they did the Caravan, I cried listening to the people and their experiences. This stuff needs to get out there and John Campbell has a budget. He is small steps I know but some nonetheless. The more word gets out….
And send emails to the new Mayor. Send many emails demanding answers. -

A press release from NZ on Air outlining all the programmes they’ve funded about the Christchurch earthquakes.
Getting a 404 on that, can we get a fixit please?

Hard News: Hope and Wire, in reply to LG,
What does the “Wire” refer to anyway?
Hopefully we shall see ;) Wire? Communicaton? Wire? Fencing? Wire, last moments?
It fails because of the ongoing alienation we feel by the minister for earthquake recovery having first excluded us from the CBD, then illegally red zoning entire communities, and lastly feeding us to the insurance wolves is not a finished story.
It does have a bit longer to run.
I think any Producer or Director's feelings are very relevant otherwise the production could just be a bunch of file footage. Personally I would be fine with that but a "Shortland St" style of production has been chosen (no offence meant) so I accept that Preston got the funding, She gets to do it her way and in time after many productions are made I think there will be room to compare.
I have only experienced a real Earthquake in LA in 1994( and I went into the simulator at the Museum twice.) LA( and around California) get a lot , even one in the last hour but I really don't think they get the bureaucratic bungling that we see here.How Brownlee has not looked to other Countries and their solutions is beyond me. Stupid, stupid. -

It’s (relatively) easy for those outside Chch to empathise with our fear and distress from a natural disaster.
Actually it's not Lilith. What you got is people like me that are furious with the way you have been treated, with donations held for recovery going to pet projects, with having ourselves experienced trauma in one way or another, with having empathy for all the pile of shit that is suffocating you. It's not easy. I've just had a kid I know in psychiatric help because she wanted to die and failed. I've had a kid I know who wanted to succeed in leaving this planet on Friday and she succeeded. I've got a bunch of kids I know dealing with that and I'm seeing a pattern with these kids emotions. None of it is easy for us on the outside . We are all in this together. We all feel your pain in different ways. We understand that you have been treated appallingly. We ,here , are getting a sense of how one woman has tried to convey her feelings and she is being taken to the cleaners because she isn't from Chch. She has made an effort to help, in her way. Nothing bad about that. It's personal and different for every New Zealand citizen. It's our Country that has sunk into the centre of Earth. We all live here. 6 degrees of separation anat.

I did go back and look for the halo also :)
