COMPLIMENTING NOT COMPETING – USA INVESTORS & MAORI DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP NEW ZEALAND
Ric Kayne and Suzanne Kayne, United States financiers of Santa Monica, have struck a deal with Northland’s Te Uri o Hau to plan an international golf course which they say will be world class. The area involves 616ha forest estate shouldering Te Arai beach, between Pakiri and Mangawhai, a joint statement from the parties said. Te Uri o Hau sold 230ha of the forest estate in the deal. The sale allows Te Uri o Hau to develop other projects. Local wildlife and the beauty of nature may be affected.
Architect Tom Doak will design the new course.
Ric said something important for Iwi Maori when he said he sees the partnership as “complimenting not competing.” A community spirit effort.
Scotty Morrison and the Te Karere news team feature Ric and Deborah Harding a spokesperson for the Te Uri o Hau in the news clip in Te Reo Rangatira (New Zealand’s inidgenous Language of Chiefs).

GOLF NEWS: EUROPE RETAIN THE RYDER CUP IN A MEDINAH MIRACLE WIN
It was described as a miracle, at Medinah Country Club, Europe’s effort to keep the Ryder Cup in European hands. The team of golfers did it. Read up @TheWin. Watch TVNZ video at the pic click.
BBC’s Tom Fordyce writes: “And so, after a sporting summer that has defied belief, the final miracle came to pass.
Europe’s 14½-13½ victory over a stupefied US team in golden Sunday sunshine at Medinah was many things – a nerve-mangling epic, an unprecedented comeback and a criminal collapse, golfing larceny on the grandest scale. It was the year when the extraordinary became commonplace, perhaps the most remarkable afternoon of all.–More@TomDyce.

BOLD IDEAS
the right in heart are as bold as a lion
–King Solomon‘s poetry.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot of bold ideas. This has made me want to study the depths of words more.
bold means:
1. a: fearless before danger : intrepid.
b: possessing a daring spirit
2: impudent, presumptuous
3: obsolete: assured, confident
4: sheer, steep – bold cliffs
5: adventurous, free -a bold thinker
6: standing out prominently
ideas:
an idea is a concept or impression
the capacity to create ideas and understand the meaning of ideas is a defining characteristic of shared human experiences.
an idea is a blueprint, a map of a concept or a series of interconnecting concepts
an idea is a container, containing the essence of something important.
–bold ideas … I like that sentiment today.

CHAORI 3D CINEMA – TINI MOLYNEUX’S VISION OF MAORI CINEMA’S EVOLVING INDUSTRY
To grow New Zealand’s filmmaking in groundbreaking news ways: “Ancient Maori legends combined with a big 3D budget vision have the potential to be relevant in the world.”
“Think, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon being a Maori legend told well,” is what Tini Molyneux told me about 12 years ago.” Today, I have to say, all of those years ago, Molyneux’s vision was right.
Food for thought for Iwi, China, Asia-Pacific to mull over concerning cool new films adding to NZ’s already cool movie genre of new films being made and produced.
In the films, I’d probably cast actors who didn’t know how to read or write well, yet their action skills were a forte. They’d shine in these groundbreaking films as whole people earning good incomes. eg: Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars story.
Seeing people who’d struggled with literacy “not intimidated” and acting in movies for tiger markets, with more golf time on their hands outside of their careers to play golf at St Andrews in Scotland in movie down time, would kinda rock too.
Summation: Chaori film production companies are a fantastic idea to grow NZ’s economy. Win-win-win. A billion dollar industry each year, just waiting to be developed in New Zealand. I like the idea as it the idea is about sustainable creation in new industry-building ideas from NZ.
What do you see in your Kiwi dream?

TEAM NEW ZEALAND YACHTING DESIGN – NEWS FROM NZ – SATURDAY 27th JULY 2012
Live Blogging The News:
New Zealand observed as a nation the massacre of innocents at the movies in Aurora, Denver Co. for 11 minutes this evening. Mr Peter Williams, Bernadine Oliver-Kirby, Jenny May-Coffin and Karen Olsen bring the news.
6.00pm: Kate Lynch recalled how James Holmes had died his hair red, released two green canisters in the movie theater, before shooting with four weapons unsuspecting movie goers. He had purchased ammunition from three separate stores like a nutter. His apartment such a booby trap, a robot is needed by police to seize James porn collection in a Kim Dotcom styled Nazi raid authorized (apparently) by Joe Biden. No. But kinda. Wearing a “spidey saves the day – like a boss” tee shirt, witness David Casper piped up on cam to give his account for cameras too.
In serious aspects of the massacre, 50 people are in hospital. 11 still critical. 12 dead. The 5’11 Holmes, was said to be a quiet soccer player, University student. Ray Kelly, Marissa Randazo and Kaitlyn Fonzi, Alex and Tom Sulliven all commented to cam. Chris Ramos talked of surviving the experience, wishing for a moment of “washing away the fear, the dirt and the blood on their skin, okay?”
A young brotha who needs to enrol in NASA asap as he’s so smart, who helped people in the theater was described as a reluctant hero. “I don’t want to say hero,” he denies. “I was in the wrong place at the right time. The wrong place as I had to deal with the situation. The right time, as I was there to help the family.” Well said. (more…)
LYDIA KO AT THE US OPEN
In New Zealand we’re talking about Lydia Ko, the first New Zealand amateur to make the cut at the US Open Championship. At 15 years-of-age, Ko is the no.1 ranked amateur in the world.
Ko carded a disappointing seven-over-par 79 in Round Three of the 67th US Open on a testing day at Blackwolf Run in Wisconsin.
The teen shot an even-par 72, dropped 10 places to a share of 43rd on a nine over par total. Ko, who is only the second New Zealand amateur to contest the US Open Championship after Olivia Hartley in 1999.
As a rising star of golf, she remains the leading amateur by three shots from American Alison Lee (79), with another American Emma Talley (81) a further shot back. More at the drive.
Let’s hope Ko’s good taste in hip hop music gets her through the tough level of competition.

WHEAT N’ WHEELS BREADMAKER HOME-APPLIANCE – STORE HOUSES ECONOMIES
Bromhead does his Kramer Vs Kramer cartoon art commentary today down in New Zealand with his cartoon titled: A More Interesting Split.
The diversions of US In Kiwiland over a cuppa of Chanui Pure Ceylon tea.
So clever!
[... Far more fun than Kiwi families contemplating whether to get out of the house and go get their own damn sovereign breadmakers at the local Ware-Whare store!]. A homemade Weta Wheat Bread recipe is due about now from those myriads of reality TV Master Chefs - to show Kiwis how to make their own German bread to go with their cuppa too. :)
Love the cartoon.
[This photo: The Sunbeam Bakehouse Breadmaker - Noel Leeming's souped-up breadmaker version, NZ].
What this means: After Maori get water rights sorted with blindie, shall we start growing wheat in the South for the USA and other countries that get parched in summer? That’s so Bill Clinton down in Queeenstown, after Monica-gate back in the naughty presidents golfing club yarn-around-the-greens days.
Wheat n’ Wheels. [I think NZ and Iwi-Kiwis can more than do a big ag project for "Africa"peeps on our own!].
As this is not a Turners & Growers German distributed idea (at this stage), it could quite possibly be a Ngai Tahu and other Iwis distributed model - if the dry goods produce are to be “China” bound, here’s that look for baby pandas and Aussie friends afar off – growing up on Canterbury plains good grains and our shared Iwi-Kiwi wai ora in the future.
