Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to Hebe,
My mum, in Dunedin with an interest in public transport, makes a point of using the term quaxing as much as possible, and she has no connection to PAS or Twitter.

Ombudsman?

More than Twitterati, I feel "death of Twitter" based on the reporting of Twitter based stories this year, but that it is bit much a phrase rather than a word.

St Clair on a still evening

These are the two photos I use to introduce myself in online courses, one looking up at Mount Cargill, one looking down from Mount Cargill.

Capture: A Place to Stand, in reply to Hebe,
A couple of other options that might work-
If you camera can be set to take the light reading only from the central zone, you make that the bit of the picture you want to optimise on.
If your camera displays the light histogram, put that on and play with manual settings to shape the light and dark.

Polity: A hazy, intriguing crystal ball, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Has anyone ever examined correlations between iPredict and future realities?
I seem to recall iPredict having unexplained money movements used to generate cheap publicity articles closer to elections. I think we are a little far out from the election for "proxy for cheap advertising".
I agree iPredict has been running a while, so you could compare the numbers this far out from what iPredict was predicting at this distance from other elections.

Hard News: Stories: Home, in reply to JacksonP,
This is an interesting thing, as I kind of feel like we do
I tend to agree with Jackson. The Otago landscape is part of my heritage and part of my character. I may not be able to express it as well as the poetry of Brian Turner. But it is there, and I've been recognised for it when travelling north- for the quiet. Not withdrawn, not defensive, just quiet and comfortable with not having anything to say, and been recognised as from the South for it.

And war is winning.
I'm pretty sure peace is winning, it is just not winning all the time.

Hard News: Stories: Home, in reply to JacksonP,
A story. On Saturday I ended up in A&E after breaking my foot in an unfortunate ‘middle aged man plays tennis for first time in several years’ incident.
Sympathies from me as well, as a victim of middle-aged man falls over taking a photo and breaks arm" last year
