The New Zealand Silver Ferns netball gold medalists are receiving their medals on tv as I write; they beat Australia within the last 45 minutes.This was the last event of what were a great games!England came third.

While Australia won a mountain of medals, and NZ probably under-achieved, our six golds were all notable.

In particular, by winning a blue riband event, the 1500 metres,Kiwi, Nick Willis, achieved what John Walker couldn't do in a Commonwealth Games -he won two silvers; he invoked the spirit of the late and legendary Jack Lovelock in the 1930's; recalled the power of the mighty Peter Snell in the 1960',and strongly suggested a new "Black Singlet" dynasty was possible in coming years.

Lovelock,Snell and Walker all won Olympic 1500m golds and set world records in their eras. Snell won two 800m golds as well.

Nick Willis is uncannily similar in build to the young Walker, and won easily in the end - the race was an eventful one.He is also a born again Christian and claimed a thousand people prayed for him daily; the prayers were certainly answered?

Saddam is the devil of the middle east and will be having his own cell soon.However it will be a two man cell with room for Osama bin laden too!

not to promote or release the film!!!

The petition has been sent to Sony Pictures Entertainment and the director of the film,Ron Howard.

The petition sent through the internet requests that all those involved in the movie should refrain from promoting and releasing the movie,The Da Vinci Code.

The petitioners agree with the statement " Seek the Truth " but claim the ultimate truth can be found in the scriptures. Nowhere in the Bible is it even suggested that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and she had his child and created a bloodline that contines to this day; that Jesus was not fully God, and numerous other errors claimed in Dan Brown's book (even the authenticity of the book is in dispute because of claims of plagiarism by a New Zealand author?)from which the movie is based.

It was also stated that sadly many of the ideas that the book and movie promote are not factually correct and are greatly offensive to the Christian faith, and to the heart of God.

Would such a book and movie be written and produced that even remotely suggested that Muhammed had an illicit relationship that produced a child? Such blasphemy should not be allowed without the utmost condemnation!

Christianity is claimed to be under intense attack by blasphemous distortion of facts and the truth contained in books and movies like The Da Vinci Code!
