A Butchered Version of "War of the Worlds" that aired on TV1 for three Sundays
Hi everyone, Matt here. Did anyone watch the "War of the Worlds" this Sunday just gone (20 October) and the other two Sundays (6,13).
I don't know what others think, I thought that having the 'War of the Worlds" for three Sundays did not cover the whole story line as far as I was concerned. If whoever had produced the "War of the Worlds" on TV1, they should at least looked the the "Jeff Wayne, War of the Worlds", music version and worked along that kind of story line and push the series or movie to a month and half long, still have on a Sunday but have it more action packed so to speak if that makes sense.
Here is a youtube link if anyone wants to watch the musical full concert version Jeff Wayne and his team did in the UK sometime back.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
