Walter Logeman: Journal
This item by Huxley crossed my path, and got me thinking about the day I watched TV after the earthquake. The sadness I feel as I am with people who have lost something or someone is sometimes almost unbearable. When I see the devastation on TV it may as well be some other country I am watching. I go numb, as I do to the road toll. Maybe I’m in shock.
Huxley Item follows.
We have survived the #eqnz second Christchurch earthquake, our house is fine, our family and friends are alive. Christchurch is a mess, many people have died. There is a lot of despair, I’ve feel it, however I am feeling more hope today, and see experience that in others as we make contact.
That worked pretty well, it is almost as easy to do manually, and then I get my own border.
The gallery option may be useful:

It is also nice to have the sidedbar working. ~ OK, so that is it done, flickr is “depricated”. will write up more reflections on the point of all this soon.

I heard this interview with Kim Hill and made a new year resolution!
Listen to an interview of Dr. Esselstyn in a recent New Zealand radio interview: Click here

So far so good!
I have a copy of the interview here as well:
Unbelievable till I recall what I used then & not an iPhone:
I’ve jumped around a bit with how to store photos on my blogs. Flickr seemed good as it tied in with an instant community, but uploading to flickr is not quick, and getting the photos back to show in a post is a bit messy. WordPress uploads (to WordPress on my server) seemed ok for a while but it is too complex. I also had some flash based displays & uploads that were ok. But now I am experimenting with putting them all on my own server just with FTP and using open source Zenphotos. It seems I am more in control and it is quick with FTP.
In 2011 I will link back from the photos site to the blog posts as well. As I’ve already done on the one new photo in the album:

I am appalled at the prospect that one of the last unspoilt rivers in New Zealand has been given government blessing to be damned for hydro power. ( A report by Mike McGavin detailing the April 2010 decision. Decision) . We just saw Craig Potton Rivers DVD episode that shows the river and exposes the threat.
The Mokihinui is in the heart of country where I have tramped and camped, just south of the Whangapeka. I love this land. Google Map. I can’t bear it’s destruction, the country should not loose this land, the animals including endangered native snails and fresh water eels and fish will loose their habitat, trees will die, the permanent loss of trees and the building and concrete will add to carbon to the atmosphere.
Damming this river rides rough-shot over New Zealand culture and Maori traditions as the Craig Potton video makes clear. Meridian (the NZ state and who else?) are a power to reckoned with and will spare no efforts as what went on here with money to Iwi might indicate: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10637348 Sounds like a case of divide and rule.
This dam will happen to our shame, we can stop this dam! Stop the Mokihinui dam, save the Mokihinui river. What to do? This is what I have in mind.
A list of action ideas and links follows, at the end a link to the Lake Pedder tragedy.
