“ Tsunami ”

TDS (Tardem Studios) sends a prayer of hope to the lost people of the “Tsunami Disaster”
I am writing this as but a speck of sand on the beach, one solitary voice, in the din that is life
I find myself both 'shocked' and 'in awe', 'heartened', and 'saddened'
'shocked' at the pure size of the impact, and the amount of death
'in awe' to see the live footage of the sea's unfathomable power unleashed
'heartened' to see such a massive out pour of people's love on a global scale
'saddened' that it takes a horror of such dimensions for us to behave as people
to watch on film the sea just taking control of everything in it's way
wreaking havoc and dead on a catastrophic scale, 60,600 dead and counting
was what I last heard, with disease most likely following close behind
I truly hope the world's Nations takes this horrific opportunity to show
the world what Man is capable of achieving, other than in war

" A Big Kiwi Heart"

By...Tardem Roaming Reporter (posted 29th. February 2004)

TDS (Tardem Studios) takes it's hat off to Breeana Wilson.
Breeana, still attending school, is a young lady with a really big heart.
"I am a girl" said Breeana, thinking she looked a little boyish, sporting very little hair,
"I cut it off so as a friend, wouldn't feel so bad about losing hers".
While speaking with Breeana and her mother Vanessa,
TDS learned how, Breeana wanted to support
a friend of the family who has Breast Cancer.
So she cut off her hair !!.
Yet it didn't stop there. Breeana,
as well as helping the lady out when she can, decided she wanted to do more still.
So she organised a team for the "Relay For Life" being run by the Taranaki Cancer Society,
a 24 hour relay event to raise funds for cancer support,
being held at the Yarrows Stadium here in New Plymouth on the 13th./14th. march 2004.
TDS was so impressed with this true kiwi spirit that
TDS has sponsored $100 to the cause to help,
and encourages others to do the same
she also inspired "Barry Long" write a poem
(called simply 'Breasts', which you can read in the poetry section),
that he dedicates to Breeana and her lady friend,
and presented it to the Taranaki Cancer Society,
also "Barry Long" is donating a couple of CD's for spot prizes.
It is young ladies such as Breeana
that gives us all a reminder of what it is to be a true kiwi !!!

" Clean, Green New Zealand "

By...Jan Johns (posted 2nd. March 2004)

All for a "Clean, Green New Zealand??"
New Zealand is a proud Nation. Proud of rugby, racing and beer.
In recent years, the catch-phrase "clean, green NZ" has been accepted to describe "Godzone."
Our patch of paradise which many want to share with the world, could easily be gone forever. Gone - in the name of 'progress and profit.'
It's one thing to have an idea... it's quite another to impose that idea despite sensible 'alternatives.'
It's quite 'funny' really, organic food has recently been termed 'alternative' - yet - it's what we all started out with (before chemicals). In which case, we call it 'old-fashioned.'
OK, as with everything, organic growing has progressed. The intelligence of humans and desire has allowed this to happen.
We live in an intelligent world where people (humans) love to hate, kill and argue.
Wars over land, ownership over religious views and opinions have and always will be. War is war - whichever way you look at it. People die willingly and unwillingly.
Intelligence has created chemicals - some to prevent unnecessary pain to assist us with all kinds of medicine and hygiene.
Yet - it also KILLS! It kills Your Land.
So, why can't this 'intelligence' create clean fuel???
Where is the harm in a clean land? Businesses will still make a profit. There'll still be jobs and - "Life Jim" as we know it - will continue.
For without land, there are no people.
No people - no business, ergo no profit... FOR ANYONE.
(Get the hint??)

"Burn a Bush a day"
** keep ARMAGEDON away **

By Barry Long.( posted 23th. February 2004)

Part 1

Does anyone agree with me that the Bush & Blair duo should be
hauled up infront of the world court for their crimes against humanity...
Perhaps the US & Britain should be relieved of THEIR weapons of mass destruction
they obviously don't mind the thought of using them...
perhaps a trade embargo would be a good start ...
What you reckon??

I saw an interview with a reprisentitive of US Government on TV
when they were justifying the iraq invasion..where he stated that there was one reason
and one reason only why a country would store and manufacture nuclear chemical,
or biological weapons and that was THEY WOULD USE THEM...the US has the Plague,
Small-Pox, nuclear and thousands of invented diseases especially designed for warfare,
not to mention chemicals weapons designed to rip your skin off while your still alive,
It has proven over history that they have no quarms about using such devices...
Remember Agent Orange, Hiroshima, just to mention two....
Plus hard out spending billions on designing even more.....

Take heed... it was the US that announced to the United Nations that they didn't give
a damn what the rest of the world thought. They would do whatever they wanted to
create their New World Order with the US ruling the world...,
sounds like Hitler and the League of Nations..and their New Arion Order to me,
and to prove this, they invaded, against United Nations mandate,
giving the big finger to us all, then blackmailing the United Nations to rubber stamp it.
They made a supposed "road map for PEACE"
I call it a "road map for WORLD DOMINATION"..
. Why do you think they were so opposed to the International Criminal Court in the Hague?
Stated reason was to protect US soldiers on 'peacekeeping' missions. Real reason was
Bush and his killer zombie cabinet could quite easily (and with reason)
see themselves in the dock.

NO FOOD TO THE USA!

the following was posted on a NZ site

Due to new anti-terrorism laws introduced by the US Government we have stopped sending food items of any description to the United States of America. Apparently a crunchie bar now constitutes a potential terrorism risk (although it ranks well below the common pretzel at code red) so the paperwork required to send even that means it's not feasible for us to send any food items to the USA. Please direct any comment to the USA government.
