David Neumark, economics Chancellor's Professor and Center for Economics & Public Policy director, is quoted in Syracuse March 13, 2012
From Syracuse:
As more states, and even some cities, have inched their wages up at different rates in the last two decades, job loss does happen in places with higher minimum wages among the very people who are the hardest to employ, according to Richard Valentine Burkhauser, a professor in Cornell University's College of Human Ecology and an adjunct scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington. A study he co-authored, published earlier this year, found when minimum wages go up in one state but not neighboring ones, as many as 1 in 5 people, ages 16 to 29 without high school degrees, lose work. Burkhauser's study didn't explore why this happens, and he said the job loss does not necessarily mean that work migrates from the higher-paying states to the lower-paying ones. "A lot of people get a small raise," said David Neumark, an economics professor at the University of California, Irvine who agrees with Burkhauser's work. "And a small group of people lose their jobs."

Well guess what you simple-minded fool? People are finding ways to adapt to an oil-free existence. You can jump on board or be left out in the cold.
Well you idiot .... Even the most remote natives in the wild are wearing "polyester T-shirts" that say "2014 Superbowl Champs - Denver Broncos" that were dumped after the game.

"Don't you feel you're trying a little too hard?"
Not at all.
Gassy ... Was that a response to me? ... It better not be, that's all I got to say.

GaussianInteger said...
Jt, 36 sure would be an arbitrary age for someone to choose. If I was going to lie, I would have said I was 25 or 30.
Don't you feel you're trying a little too hard?
And Maxipad is a liar, and everyone on here knows it, yet you and a couple of others see the necessity on taking up for him. I busted him a couple of weeks ago in a lie and I'm sure you saw it with your own eyes.
But it is so funny that I know what he's doing and so should you "bright boys" but he continues to cast it out there and reeling you carp in.
I will respond to all of your other claims when you admit you were wrong earlier yesterday. Until then, I will just avoid your posts like you avoided mine after I showed you were wrong.
I couldn't care less whether you respond or not. If you don't it just allows me to take shots at you without you defending yourself.
As far as catching me in a lie you have yet to admit that you misspoke in saying we export more oil than we import. If you had said refined oil products then you would have had a defensible position. However that would have still been a meaningless detail as we have very little need to import refined oil products since we make more than we can possibly use anyway. As a result exporting even small amounts would equal more than the tiny amounts we do import.
The Pipeline
GaussianInteger said...
Maxipad, I'm 36 years old. I guarantee I am younger than you.
And you're better educated and richer as well ... Right?
Never took a dime from the government I didn't earn (my pay while I was in the military and the GI Bill).
Is that in currency/coinage or value added? ... You do know what you Fleabaggers have to say about people "not building it themselves" ... don't you?
And even if I was "a 70 year old on guvment relief" at least I am not a delusional liar such as yourself.
So you say
Life must be exhausting for you being envious of the wealthy all of the time. Keep working that 10.00 an hour job, bro. Eventually, you'll be one of those millionaires you claim to currently be (insert sarcasm now).
And you probably need to get back to work now. I'm sure the manager at the Kangaroo station where you work wouldn't be happy with you surfing the web when you should be ringing up customers items and turning on the gas pumps.
Why are you so hateful and disdainful towards those at the lower end of the income and wealth brackets that you resort to using their plight to attempt the shaming of your political opponents?

GaussianInteger said...
Start an initiative similar to the US-Soviet space race in the 50's and 60's or the race to get the A-bomb. There are cars that run without petroleum, but as of now, it's just a niche market.
There no rational analogy there ... military and exploratory space rockets and A-bombs will always be niche markets. Electric vehicle transportation, for the general public, is not; in that it will be widely accepted when it becomes economically and performance viable.
Every American (that is not vested in petroleum) should be supporting this. Until then we are slaves to the oil companies and their lobbyists.
Purchasing an industry's product due to their better valve in relation to the alternatives is in no way a reasonable definition of being enslaved. The public has shown itself very willing to dump one technology and embrace another, almost instantaneously, when they think their needs and wishes are better served.
BTW ... currently electric cars are more harmful to the environment and any currently available alternate energy source that is politically correct will not power them in mass quantities.

Another shining example of our uneducated citizens. This country is doomed unless we up our quality of education and information. We should move toward more science and learning the English language instead of teaching science fiction and voodoo mythology. our democrat(sic)friends don't want to here(sic) anything** -- is that supposed to be English?
I agree as we need many more pseudo intellectual unemployable English majors to correct everyone's internet posts. It's a sure path to economic success ... Right?

Jt, if my prior post about how my family lives gave you the impression that we are living a bare bones existence, I apologize. We live quite well and even though we have made lifestyle changes, we have a quality of life that few can rival.
What the he## are you rambling on about? When have I ever mentioned your family's lifestyle or standard of living?
We are surrounded by beauty at every turn. We live in a wonderful climate with a little too much dampness for three months followed by near perfection. The deer in the garden are maddening, but we will have a deer fence up by the end of the week. There are very few biting bugs (LMFAO!!) here…don't need screens. Well educated people (Don't you feel out of place) from every corner of the earth help with a broader understanding of universal issues. No creationists, no climate change deniers.. yep, we've got it pretty good.

There are two different perspectives on future oil (and energy) use: the cornucopian and the peak oilers.
The cornucopians assume that one way or another, technology will find a way to keep an ever increasing supply of energy flowing. The peak oilers believe that, for a variety of reasons, much of the remaining fossil fuel resources will never be extracted.
How are those mutually exclusive? Isn't there a majority overlap between these two. Of course there are some "Blue Sky" optimists among the "cornucopians" and there are "Luddites" among the "peak oilers".
The graphs showing the soaring amounts of investment to extract a falling amount of energy are like a cold shower to those who examine the charts. There is a reason that major oil companies are cutting back on capital investment dollars.
They are? ... I thought they just spent tens of billions on upgrading their refineries.
Almost no major oil companies buy into fracking as a solution. Why? The numbers are horrible and somebody is going to be left holding the bag on those investments as the wells-drilled numbers can't keep up with the soaring depletion numbers.
Why Six Big Oil and Fracking Companies Just Became Great Stocks to Buy
Why Six Big Oil and Fracking Companies Just Became Great Stocks to Buy -Apache Corp (NYSE:APA) - 24/7 Wall St. http://247wallst.com/energy-business/2013/08/20/why-six-big-oil-and-fracking-companies-just-became-great-stocks-to-buy/#ixzz2wG5gXTyR
Not too long ago, more than 80 percent of U.S. gas supplies were produced by "mom-and-pop businesses"—companies with an average of a dozen employees and a market capitalization of less than $500 million.
But when ExxonMobil announced its successful acquisition of XTO Energy in November 2010, the face of the gas industry changed enormously.
With each passing day, the list of the top gas producers is starting to look a whole lot like the list of Big Oil companies. Today, the natural gas industry is dominated by companies whose names are well known – ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, ConocoPhillips and Chevron are all in the top 10.
ExxonMobil is now the largest natural gas producing company in the U.S., producing about 16% of the nation's total consumption.
In spite of the accumulating evidence, cornucopians believe that there will always be enough or there will be substitutes. We will find out soon enough who is wrong.
And the Luddites think it's all over but the shouting and moving into caves.

Jamie from San Bernardino, CA– Verified Buyer
Really am happy with this purchase. Well built and just the right size for what I was looking for. I too would have liked the wine glass area to support larger stems since most wine glasses are a larger size. Other than that it is perfect.
too small
Siong from San Jose, CA– Verified Buyer
it's a bit small for our purpose. you can only put one additional layer of wine and the bottles will be touching the wine glasses. doesn't fit our larger wine glasses

A from New Jersey– Verified Buyer
I personally really like the bar table. I have to say it's very nice. I wasn't present when my husband assembled it, but he didn't mention having any problems with it. As far as the quality versus the price point, I really didn't explore the market so I can't really comment on that. It's just very nice, seems to be well made, and I really do like it a lot.

I found myself at the grocery store this past weekend needing to restock on pantry supplies. ( I missed the two markets in Palmer on Friday).
As I stood before the neatly organized vegetable displays, illuminated by florescent lights, my eyes glazed over and I felt uneasy about my choices. Yes, there were piles of onions, freshly misted rows of greens, plump red beets, firm round heads of cabbage, and lovely looking summer squash but I could not bring myself to add any to my basket. I couldn't help but wonder where the vegetables were from, how they were grown, picked, washed, packed, and shipped. Not having answers that felt like assurances of safety, health, and nutrition, I waundered over to the meat section. Unfortunately, I found no comfort there. With monthly warnings sweeping the country about deadly spinach, killer tomatoes and jalapeños, tainted ground beef, contaminated dog and cat food, poison packed tooth paste and the GMO takeover of almost all packaged foods on the market, grocery shopping is no longer fun, its scary. What a sad statement about our country. Our food system is broken.

Ever wonder what to do with the five pound bags of peas that show up at Carr's late in the summer or the Godzilla size rhubarb taking over your backyard right now? Maybe a new cookbook could help.
Alison Arians, of Rise and Shine Bakery, just sent me this write-up about a new cookbook she completed focused on enjoying Alaska's bounty....
The South Anchorage Farmers' Market Cookbook is filled with 100 pages of delicious, healthy recipes that showcase our flavorful, fresh local Alaskan produce. Recipes provide inspiration for ways to use Alaskan vegetables, fish, fruits, bread, and other products that can be found at our farmers' markets. Mostly vegetarian and vegetable recipes, many of which are dairy- and egg-free, the cookbook focuses on recipes that have fantastic flavor and top-notch nutritional value. The directions in each recipe include lots of hints about how to prepare these recipes with speed and efficiency. The cookbook also includes directions for processing Alaskan produce to freeze for the winter. Just inside the cover, you'll find information on when and where the farmers' markets are held, and how to sign up for the farmer's market weekly email newsletter.

I thought for today, given that our growing season is just kicking off, I should spend some time reviewing the challenges and opportunities with Alaska's current food system.
Alaskans spend 2.5 billion annually on food, most is imported from the Lower 48. This information comes from a 2005 Canadian government report called "Overview of the Retail Grocery Market in the Pacific Northwest United States," and you can read it here.
98% of our food is shipped in from the farthest corners of the planet. With the increasing desire to buy Alaska grown, why aren't we spending more than $30 million annually on locally foods? We have some major hurtles to overcome with access and supply.

Hey Everyone,
I am sorry to have fallen off the wagon with posting. It's not because I can't think of anything to write or that all our food system problems have been solved.
I've had a super busy month...
My partner Jeremiah and I are getting married this summer. Both of us have organized big events in the past like Bioneers in Alaska and the Oceans Festival but planning our wedding is a bit different. There are so many personal details to arrange... We're super excited but as you can imagine we are in the throws of caterer, band, and cake confirmation, invitation organizing, and preparing for our families and friends to arrive.

Next weekend is a big one here in Alaska. June 1st marks the frost-free line giving us the go ahead to plant our gardens. It still may frost but there is less of a risk than earlier in the season. I am sure many of you are scrambling around to find vegetable seedlings and are on the lookout for just the right hanging baskets. So today I thought I would talk about the importance of buying local.
I am not sure if any of you remember the potato blight
that hit AK a few years back but it wiped out most of the potato crops in the valley. Well, except for a few organic farmers who fought the disease with daily doses of compost tea. (There is a lot to be said for the power of building the nutrient base in the soil as a defense against disease but I will save this discussion for another post) The potato blight of 2005 still poses a threat to conventional farmers as the disease stays in the soil for many years after first attack.

Gary Holthaus, one of Alaska 's favorite sons, is returning to Alaska to inaugurate the Terra Bella Lecture Series on Saturday, May 31 at 4:00, at the Terra Bella Café Bakery at 601 E. Dimond Blvd. Holthaus will lead a discussion based on readings from his two latest books, " From The Farm To The Table: What Americans Need to Know About Agriculture" and "Learning Native Wisdom: What Traditional Cultures Teach Us About Subsistence, Sustainability, and Spirituality."
From The Farm To The Table offers a portrayal of American farmers trapped between Byzantine governmental policies and the monstrous mission of American multinational agribusiness. Holthaus explains the critical role played by American farms and the necessity of a vision that incorporates sustainability, organic practices, small scale production and proper environmental practices. In Learning Native Wisdom, Holthaus calls upon his Alaskan roots to articulate how subsistence values and a spiritual reverence for the Earth can guide us to global sustainability.

Matanuska Creamery
Kim, I couldn't find a way to email you directly, so hopefully this comment will pop up.
I called the Mat Creamery today (5/20), and it looks like as soon as tomorrow Palmer milk that is pasteurized (and not ultra-pasteurized) will be on sale at Fred Meyers.
The ETA on the cheddar cheese is June 7th or 8th.
I thought your readers might like this update. I'm sure excited about being able to buy local milk again!

I just got this from the Division of Agriculture and wanted to pass it along...
Nominations for the Alaska State Fair Farm Family of the Year are Now Being Accepted Due June 13th, 2008
Alaska serves as home to many farmers who daily work the soil and fields to ensure Alaskans have fresh products in the retail stores, at farmers markets and have hardy plants in the nurseries. The Alaska State Fair and the agricultural community want to applaud the efforts of these farmers by honoring one family that epitomizes the spirit of Alaska farming.
The Fair needs our help in nominating friends and neighbors for the 9th Annual Farm Family of the Year. The Alaska State Fair established the award in 2000 to honor an Alaska farming family by showing appreciation for all the hardworking Alaskans committed to agriculture and aquaculture in the state.

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of tasting fresh local hard goat cheese's made by Cranberry Ridge Farms in Wasilla, you should know that you are missing out.
If you are one of those people who think they don't like goat cheese or just have never heard of it, you should check out Matt and Rhonda Shaul's new website.
Once you read about their farming journey, see the pictures, and learn about their ecological practices, I am sure you'll be sold.

Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to tour three Ranches in the Mat-Valley with Mary Jo Forbord, Director of the Minnesota Sustainable Farming Association and grass fed beef Rancher. Mary Jo was visiting as the keynote speaker for the Alaskan Dietetics Association Conference. The focus of the tour was on grass fed meat and the environmental and health benefits associated with this method of ranching.
Alaska Division of Agriculture's Amy Pettit, led the tour along with staff from Palmer Cooperative Extension and the Experimental Farm, three local farmers and me. What a treat to be in the presence of so many committed people working on ways to rejuvenate Alaska's food system.

In the garden standing by my grandfather's side, we were a team. Together we pinched Japanese beetles, drown slugs in beer, ringed broccoli plants, mulched strawberries with pine needles, planted seedlings with one scoop of homemade compost for each plant, spread sea weed and lobster shells in-between the beds, and in the fall, jumped in a giant pile of leaves to make a condensed carbon layer for the compost. My grandfather imparted the knowledge and passion for growing food the organic way and for this I owe him a lot. Granted, as a child, I thought the bucket of vegetable scraps next to the sink was sick and going to the horse farm after school to shovel manure into the cart that he pulled behind our station wagon seemed like punishment, but looking back I can see what a tremendous gift all the work was.

King Corn is a 90 minutes Independent Lens special on PBS tonight. I think it airs at 10pm but it might be 9pm. So check the local listing to be sure.
King Corn, by Aaron Woolf, Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney, three recent college graduates tell the story of where America's food comes from by growing it.
In the rural town of Greene, Iowa, the two friends plant a single acre of the nation's most powerful crop, corn and then set out to follow it from a seed to the dinner plate.
www.pbs.org/independentlens/kingcorn/film.html is the link to read more about the film.
Be sure to invite over some friends, I am sure the need to have a lively discussion will follow.

If any of you have ventured into Palmer looking for a bite to eat, you may have noticed the slim pickens. The standard fare until about a month ago was a plethora of eateries offering plenty of foods fried, processed, smothered in cheese, and doused in MSG. Not that a nice greasy breakfast once in a while is not good for a lot of things but…
Both Restaurants, Turkey Red and the Red Beet are housed in remodeled/restored landmark buildings in the center of Palmer and both offer an atmosphere of community combined with daily offerings of nourishing whole foods.
Turkey Red, is located just off South Alaska Street across from the Valley Hotel. The building also offers Palmer residents and visitors a new shopping experience, a must see next time you are in town.

If any of you are like me, when KNBA and KSKA have their bi-annual membership/pledge drives, it makes me think of making charitable gifts to other organizations too. If you're not someone who gives, and do have the extra money, I would love to encourage you to think about becoming a member of an organization who's mission you believe in, offers valuable community services and/or works on issues you care about. Because this blog is about AK's food system, I want to introduce you to a fledgling nonprofit (who needs our support) fighting to protect farmlands in Alaska.
The Alaska Farmlands Trust Corporation (AFTC's) mission is to preserve, protect, enhance and promote Alaska's farmlands. AFTC formed in 2005 to take a leadership role in the development of conservation easements for Alaska's farmlands. For those of you who don't know, a conservation easement adds a layer of legal text onto the title of a piece of land and that layer of text, in this case, protects the land from non-agricultural development, forever. Unfortunately, the easement is not free and must be purchased.

Michael Ableman, BC farmer, regional foods advocate, and author of Fields of Plenty, presented at UAA Thursady night. The event was sponsored by the UAA sustainability task force and the Culinary Arts program. The presentation was the kick off event for the second annual Sustainability Fair at UAA. For more info about the fair go to http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/sustainability
Arriving at the presentation, I was so pleased to see that loads of friendly, beaming, and beautiful community members had show-up. I was excited to share the experience of listening to Ableman's life supporting and sustaining stories grounded in the heart of rural America, with Alaska's locavore contingent. We need to hear more stories like Ableman's because they give us hope for a delicious and nourishing future.
Anchorage Daily News is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere in the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

July marked the second round of the Citizen User Testing Group in Chattanooga.
The CUT group is a chance for Chattanoogans to try out civic websites and get paid for their input and time. It also lets developers see people navigate their websites so they can understand the hiccups and improve the sites.
Five Chattanoogans gave their feedback on two great civic sites: Growing Forward, the regional planning association's explanation of its long term planning process, and Chattizen, a citizen's guide to local government in Chattanooga.
Tyler Yount, the Civic Engagement Coordinator for the City of Chattanooga organized and facilitated the tests. The library hosted on the 4th Floor, and allowed the CUT Group to install the software needed on the library computers. It was only Tyler's second time running a website testing session, but the great responses from the testers show that he's a natural.
I helped write the test plans and then synthesized the results of the Growing Forward test into an informal report for the project team. With more time I would have enjoyed editing clips for the team. Watching people struggle and triumph with a website is the most direct way for a team to understand the areas that need improvement and what's working well.
The Growing Forward project team has already dug into the results, and is quickly implementing updates. Beyond that, it's exciting that everyone involved is cultivating their user research and UX skills. Building a lasting process for involving user testing in Chattanooga City Hall makes my heart sing.

There are a lot of companies and individuals who can't wait to get their hands on a Ford Transit Connect Electric. The official first customer will be AT&T, which has agreed to purchase two of the electric vans. These will be latest additions to the company's growing fleet of alternative-fuel vehicles.
The Ford Transit Connect Electric – the all-electric version of the 2010 Ford Transit Connect – will be powered by Azure Dynamics' patented Force Drive™ electric drivetrain with an advanced lithium-ion battery from Johnson Controls-Saft. The vehicle, which goes on sale later this year, has a range of up to 80 miles on a single charge and will be rechargeable using either 240-volt or standard 120-volt outlets. It has a top speed of 75 miles per hour.
You can come for a virtual ride in the Transit Connect Electric and hear more about it from Praveen Cherian, Program Manager for the vehicle, in a video by clicking here.
"Cleaner, alternative-fuel vehicles are the future of our corporate fleet, and the Transit Connect Electric represents a real breakthrough and will be a strong addition to our range of alternative-fuel vehicles," said Jerome Webber, vice president of fleet operations at AT&T. "It's exactly the kind of vehicle we envisioned when we mapped our long-term vision to invest up to $565 million to deploy more than 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles through 2018." AT&T currently operates more than 77,000 vehicles in its corporate fleet, including 15 gasoline-powered Ford Transit Connect vehicles AT&T began piloting in 2009.
By combining car-like driving dynamics with truck-like cargo capacity, Ford Transit Connect Electric is well-suited to the demands placed on urban delivery vehicles for small businesses and larger, corporate fleets.
The Transit Connect Electric is expected to offer lower cost of operation because recharging with electricity is generally less expensive than refueling with gasoline. Additionally, customers will benefit from lower maintenance costs as the electric drive train has far fewer moving parts to maintain.
"Ford Transit Connect was first introduced in the U.S. last year as a new fuel efficient alternative to larger commercial vehicles. Adding the electric option addresses a growing demand from our customers for sustainable vehicles for their fleets," said Gerry Koss, Ford fleet marketing manager. "This Transit Connect Electric represents the first in a family of electrified vehicles, including new hybrids, plug-in hybrids and all battery electric vehicles, which Ford will deliver over the next three years."
AT&T plans to take delivery of the Transit Connect Electric in late 2010.

Royalty learns to catch Trout
I wasn't able to see Game 2 of the Royals/Angels series nor have I had a chance to see a lot of Angels games. When I have watched the Angels, I haven't noticed this and Trout seems to rake. But that is a small sample. So, Angels watchers, is there anything to this idea?

For old fans of Senators, Washington baseball success is a contradiction in terms
At Chevy Chase Elementary School in the early 1960s, my friend Alan Alper heralded every baseball season's opening day by predicting confidently that the Washington Senators would have a winning season and maybe go to the World Series.
He was always wrong. Drastically so. The Senators were so bad that their woes inspired a best-selling book and Broadway musical.
It never stopped Alper. He was committed, devoted, a true believer.

Like US, in India we don't have that many communities and live events. When I moved to Bangalore an year back, I searched for .NET and SQL Server user groups in Bangalore. Few .NET user groups exist but not active enough. I came across SQL Server Geeks from a colleague and attended few sessions of SQL Server Day in Bangalore. It is a great initiative by SQL Server Geeks.

Google Charts is a collection of wide variety of charts that are exposed as a Javascript library that you just need to embed in your web page. From simple line charts to complex hierarchical tree, the library provides a large number of ready-to-use chart types.The most common way to use Google Charts is by referencing the Javascript API in your web page. All chart types are populated with data using the DataTable class, making it easy to switch between chart types.In this post I will show you how to create Organization Hierarchy using Google Visualization API Organizational Chart. Instead of showing how to create the hierarchy using static data, I will show you how to populate DataTable dynamically using SQL Server and C# and later passing this DataTable as JSON object to Google Chart to generate the hierarchy.
To start with let us add a Web Form in our ASP.NET solution. More...

#1014 Comment of the year - Anon on Air New Zealand
What's going on?
Last time round poor Elizabeth Findlay would have hit her head against a middle management brick wall. Zambesi delivered what Nana Koru asked for and Zambesi did accomplish something unique in the uniform history of Air New Zealand. They unveiled a uniform that symbolised the airline's leadership quality; tired, generic and faded middle management. Rob's mob.
Everything is confused, billboards, aircraft livery, publications, napkins, trays, cabin furnishings, there's simply no consistent brand signature. Personality appears in shades of grey unless you're a font.
Air New Zealand staff face a fashion Rugby World Cup every day. They line out against:
Virgin Atlantic and John Rocha
Singapore Girls and Pierre Balmain
Delta and Richard Tyler
Air France and Christian Lacroix
There are bigger questions to be asked:
Why hide details of the contract?
There is no commercial reason to be secretive. There is probably more promotional value in exposing the uniform's evolution over time rather than clinging to the premature climax of a launch party. Not even Lady Penelope came at the last one.
Why hide the cost from the taxpayer
The New Zealand taxpayer is entitled to transparency.
Why hide the process from staff?
In your post Vicki Taylor mentions presenting pieces but Trelise Cooper was chosen because of her "wow factor". How can the design be final without widespread staff consultation? If I put a "w' on each of my bum cheeks will that spell "wow" as I pull on my boots?
Why has Air New Zealand selected a designer who does not make men's clothing?
"Her original business vision to create distinctive and directional clothing for women aged 30-55 is still a strong influence in the Trelise Cooper brands" From www.trelisecooper.com
What kind of global business associates itself with tags like MILF, Freshmeat, and CrystalMeth?? Porn industry? Drug barons? Misogynists? Watch this pitiful grabaseat advertisement on youtube and find out.
I do not want my uniform associated with 30–55 year old MILF.
Who is $$ benefiting by hiding this project?
The brand power of the Air New Zealand uniform is tested in the air terminals, aircraft, and hotel lobbies of the world. That's where the public and our staff determine the value of our uniform. There was a time when from Dallas to Frankfurt people would stop and say "that's Air New Zealand". They made us proud because they meant "that brand means New Zealand."
I saw someone mention Barbara Lee in another post; that uniform was loved by staff and customers; it was practical, stylish, and beautiful Pacific colours yelled "New Zealand". Bring back the image of punching above our weight. Barbara Lee still does some sharp work.
Air New Zealand needs quality decision making to deliver a global brand image, not just a uniform. The uniform maintains the brand image by celebrating the nation and staring down the competition.
That's who we are.
Air New Zealand management, do everyone a favour, stop disappearing up the 'o' in 'wow', and get back to basics."
Amazing! WHO WROTE THIS COMMENT?

If people wish to remain anonymous then leave them alone. We all thought you would have learned that lesson by now seeing as how you've angered quite a few of us with your insistent snooping.

that is the best comment on this silly air new zealand uniform. I was pleased to see they thought Barbara Lee did a good, smart uniform. It is about feeling proud but also a uniform airline uniform should make us feel safe in the air,I know that is silly to say but that is how I feel. issac have a good New Year I think you may be at a friend of mines party in the big smoke,I will be down here in the deep south watching boring old T.V. and thinking of the good times I had when I was young. Happy New Year

OMG Isaac!!!
Air NZ has released pics of Trelise's new uniform on its staff website.
They are absolutely HIDEOUS.

Really? -__-
Anyone know why my ear won't stretch?
I've had the 1.5mm stretcher in for like 5 days (pathetic, I know) and I'm trying the 2mm one now and it just won't go through! It's pissing me off ¬¬ It hurts and I don't want to tear it but surely it should be working??
Because stretching isn't a race, and a small size by no means is pathetic. It's a sign of listening to your body.
It's not going through because it's still fresh. Your skin hasn't relaxed and calmed enough to be able to stretch up yet, meaning if you try and force it through, your skin and piercing will become damaged and aggravated.
Waiting at least a month between sizes is the only way to stretch, no matter what method.
Different kinds of flares, insertion techniques and what kind of flares generally correspond to which material!
Any questions? Ask me! Fancy subscribing? Click here!
There will be plenty more videos soon. I apologise for the stuttering and my wonky face.
What Is Your Opinon On Gauging your Cartilage.?
Im doing it and people discuss stuff behind my back i just wanna hear peoples views
If you can't even use the right term for stretching, you shouldn't be doing anything as heavy as stretching cartilage.
It's fine, just 6 months per mm and don't expect it to be as pain free and easy as lobe stretching. Tape wrap method works best for this.
Incase any of you didn't see this on her profile.

Report: Chris Bosh finalizing deal to return to Heat
Despite LeBron James' announcement that he is returning to Cleveland, Chris Bosh will re-sign with the Miami Heat, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski reports that Bosh's deal with the Heat is a max contract worth $118 million over five years.
Bosh had also reportedly been in discussions with the Houston Rockets, who were said to have offered him a max contract as well. Earlier Friday, the Rockets reportedly traded Jeremy Lin to the Los Angeles Lakers, attempting to clear enough cap space to be able to sign both Bosh and restricted free agent Chandler Parsons.
GOLLIVER: The six degrees of separation to LeBron James' free agency decision
With Bosh back in Miami, Wojnarowski also reports that Heat are "trying to complete shorter deals with Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem".
Sports Illustrated's Matt Dollinger explains what the signing of LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers will mean for the rest of the NBA.

As more U.S. issuers hand out EMV chip credit cards, a new report challenges the technology's fraud-fighting reputation.
British researchers from Cambridge University claim that fraudsters can penetrate EMV chip cards through certain ATMs and payment terminals.
Here's how it works: EMV cards have embedded microchips that encrypt transaction information uniquely each time a card is used. That encryption is supposed to make it nearly impossible for thieves to clone fraudulent cards. However, a loose thread in the technology's standard gives them an opening, according to these researchers. As part of the EMV standard maintained by Europay, MasterCard and Visa, ATMs or payment terminals must provide an authentication number that is nonrepeating. But some machines provide numbers that simply increase by the same amount for every transaction.
For example, the machine will give "1000" to authorize a transaction, then "1001" for the following transaction, and then "1002" and so on.
That could allow hackers to predict an authentication number, steal the card's information and create a cloned card, the report said. The researchers looked into the possibility of EMV vulnerability about nine months ago after some U.K. citizens reported losses from their EMV cards. Their banks refused to reimburse them.
The report comes as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and push U.S. merchants and ATM owners to accept EMV chip cards over the next few years, mainly because of its anti-theft feature. The liability for credit card fraud falls heavily on banks. Right now, U.S. consumers have a maximum liability of $50 from credit card losses under the Fair Credit Billing Act. (Debit card users have fewer protections.)
At the same time, many banks are offering EMV versions of their credit cards for affluent globetrotters and business travelers for greater convenience. Many tollbooths, unmanned gas stations, train kiosks and rural merchants abroad only take chip cards.
We'll see if this report gains any traction, and if it complicates the U.S. adoption of EMV. Still, it seems that it's harder to steal information from an EMV credit card than your traditional magnetic-strip card. Just ask this Mugs 'N Jugs waitress.
Do you think EMV chip cards aren't what they were cracked up to be?

The Complete Tinder Glossary
As a rule, I don't download time-sucking games onto my phone. Tinder is the exception. Back in May, when I first made space on my screen for that little red flame icon, I didn't realize the latest online dating app craze was a game. But now I know. Last night my roommate, who met his boyfriend on Tinder, perched beside me for some vicarious swiping. "I miss this!" he said, as we watched the weirdos fly by.
That's right: they've finally made an online dating service that is fun—nay, addictive—to use.
Like Zuckerberg's original, verboten pleasure, FaceSmash, which asked Harvard douchebags to choose the hotter classmate between two [...]

To do what is said and promised. We need to create a Party that, like the TEA Party will support the Republicans ... if they are truly going in the "right" direction ... or stand as a block and stop things from moving in the wrong direction if needed. The Government (the House & Senate) do things by votes and often the votes are decided by relatively thin margins and usually by some under the table dealing (You give me X and I'll support your Y) but the dealing is for THEIR OWN agendas and nothing for the citizens. If we can get 10 or 15% (look at what the TEA Party oriented politicians managed to do) to stand fast and refuse to make "Deals with the Devil" we could actually change the direction we are moving in.

Well, well.
The Drug Dealers, aka Team Pharmacy, got lucky in Week 1 of "Paola Vs." and won thanks to the tiebreaker. Won't happen in Week 2 despite the smack my opponent, Money Man, is delivering.
Some excerpts:
"As with all great generals, I will offer you the chance to surrender prior to the contest. ... Don't listen to the little voice head in your head. It's just pride talking."
Yeah, yeah. Money Man is actually Mark Parfet, a financial advisor from Scottsdale who admits the market downturn has been an eye-opener. "I am really looking forward to this season. I just relearned how to use the remote control."
I chose Money Man this week because he told me he was once in Muhammad Ali's limo.
Turns out when he was 12, the young entrepreneur was washing cars in the neighborhood, including the white limo of a "30-year-old trust fund baby." He later learned the car once belonged to Ali.
Hmmm. Not quite what I imagined but I'll reward Money Man for clever deception.
I'm feeling good, confident. But if I trip for a second week, I'm turning over my Week 3 picks to Suns forward Jared Dudley, who, like many of you, claims to be an expert in the NFL picks department. Yeah, yeah.
Here we go ... Money Man and I agreed on 12 picks and differed on four. Mine come from my AZCentral's Pick the Pros selections. His come from the deep crevices of his dark, conniving mind.
I have Atlanta, Philadelphia, Arizona and San Diego. He has Carolina, New Orleans, Jacksonville and Baltimore. For our tiebreaker, he predicts the Saints will score 20 points in their game against the Eagles. I chose 22.
Money Man thinks he has this thing locked up. To quote the great philosopher, Ochocinco, "Child, please."

New York is dotted with iconic structures, from skyscrapers to world-renowned historical sites. But what truly sets a building apart from its peers?
As far as BOMA/NY is concerned, it's smart management. Designed to determine New York's entrants for BOMA International's TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Awards, BOMA/NY's annual Pinnacle Awards program highlights the premiere buildings and people in the city. The winners are iconic in their own right, boasting extra-efficient operations and welcoming environments that could help inform your own FM practices.
Historical Building: 230 Park Avenue
Monday Properties
Managed by Josiah Brock
Originally designed as the NY Central Railroad headquarters, this historic limestone and brick landmark endured a $100 million renovation spanning eight years. The result: New York City's first and oldest building to achieve ENERGY STAR, BOMA 360, and LEED Gold for Existing Buildings certifications.
230 Park, which is home to the iconic tower known as the Crown Jewel of Park Avenue, is a 1.4 million-square-foot, 36-story tower whose 15-story wings straddle the avenue with traffic archways leading to Grand Central Terminal and retail arcades. The structure features 3,200 new operable windows, as well as centrally controlled LED illumination that can bathe the tower in cool white light or animated jewel tones depending on the occasion.
The building's attention to historic detail – from sculptures of Greek gods, bison heads, and eagles to bronze murals commemorating the railroad age – juxtaposed with its state-of-the-art energy-saving engineering systems cemented 230 Park's award.
Earth Award: 2 Penn Plaza
Vornado Realty Trust
Managed by Annie Leone
Built concurrently with Madison Square Garden in 1968, this 30-story International-style tower earned this year's Earth Award by raising its ENERGY STAR score to 84 (from 79) and achieving LEED Silver for Existing Buildings certification.
A sophisticated Energy Information Portal shows tenants real-time energy consumption data, and the building also boasts a 78% overall recycling ratio with an 80% in recycling electronics. Its energy auditing and retrocommissioning program helps keep building systems running optimally.
Two Penn Plaza has also earned accolades for its eco-friendly commuting. Roughly 95% of its occupants use mass transit every day, and its proximity to retail, dining, and entertainment options earned it a "walk" score of 100.
Operating Office Building Over 1 Million Square Feet: 1185 Avenue of the Americas
SL Green Realty Corp
Managed by Adam Rosner
Outstanding Local Member: Louis J. Trimboli
Corporate Facility: 731 Lexington Avenue
Manager of the Year (3 – 10 Years of Experience): Brian V. Jauntig, 1440 Broadway
Manager of the Year (More than 10 Years of Experience): Joanne G. Porrazzo, 90 Park Avenue
Renovated Building: 1330 Avenue of the Americas
Operating Office Building (500,000 – 1 million Square Feet): 31 West 52nd Street
New Construction: 4 World Trade Center
The renovated lobby, once a vision of marble, now features a greener sort of sophistication. Stainless steel and white marble accents dot the double-height space, while sustainable bamboo wall paneling adds warmth. Floors and walls feature neutral-colored stone and back-painted, fritted glass. A step through brushed stainless steel turnstiles reveals a further focus on bamboo at the elevator banks and floors.
Further upgrades to infrastructure and operations at 1185 Avenue of the Americas are planned, and obtaining LEED Silver for Existing Buildings is also on the agenda.

Southwest Wines 'Hatch' Green Chile wine (NV)
By Shirley Nelson | New Mexico Wino
Green chile wine? It's a surprising wine style that can only come from one place: New Mexico. Southwest Wines, the mega portfolio of wine brands in Southern New Mexico, blends a refreshing white wine with hints of New Mexico's famous green chile to produce a wine with a true southwest flair.
It has sharp clarity with a faint aroma of green chile that seems to hit the nose perfectly. It's strong enough to notice but doesn't attack. It's crisp and refreshing with just a touch of sweet. The finish is a bit abrupt, and this wine blend is mild, perhaps a shock for those expecting a kick of heat from the chile.
It all makes for a surprisingly drinkable wine that can be fun conclusion to a New Mexican feast. Try it with, you guessed it, green chile chicken enchiladas or a spinach cream cheese dip.
Who should drink this wine: Wine aficionados with an adventuresome spirit who are looking for a fun wine
Southwest Wines 'Hatch' Green Chile Wine (NV)

I was supposed to be that girl. You know, quirky, kind of really weird, friends with boys, playful and childish, a little bit crazy.
He never quite fit in. He spent his days see-sawing between brooding and life-of-the-party loud, trying too hard to reach people's attention, but never knowing if he had reached his goal.
We were best friends. He talked, and for once I would listen. Though a year older, he seemed to be so much wiser, like a big brother to protect me- all I had ever wanted.
Time passed, and it became more and more obvious that our relationship meant different things to us. I wanted a friend to depend on. He wanted an object in the shape of a girl, the prize at the end of the nerd's story.
I was never going to be that girl.
The Manic Pixie Dream Girl is more than just a TV and movie trope. It's an idea that has seeped into our culture and our high schools, creating an unsafe environment for our girls- especially the nerdy ones. Here's an image that pops up on my Facebook newsfeed at least once a month:
At first glance, that boy sounds amazing. How caring, how forgiving and loving this boy must be, right? And what an ungrateful, frigid bitch the girl is for refusing his repeated advances. She only likes douchebags and assholes, so she gets what she deserves. She had a Good Guy all along, and she put him in the Friendzone.
If only I could describe how hard I'm rolling my eyes.
The idea of the Friendzone, the ungrateful bitch who had the most amazing guy just waiting for her if she would just give him the chance is based on one very simple premise: women are not independent human beings with opinions, tastes, and attractions. Women are machines in which you put in nice coins and sex falls out.
Some of the guys I hung around with in high school had that mindset. Though they would never admit out loud that they believed they deserved women just by virtue of being alive, secretly they thought it. Girls who dared be friends with them were teases who led them on just by being around them. They thought that they deserved to have their quirky, cute girlfriend to end their story.
I was rejected more than a few times in high school, and the Friendzone never occurred to me. Every time I was rejected I blamed myself; I was not pretty enough. I was too loud, too weird. I was bad. There is no female equivalent for the Friendzone because we learn from a young age that we are to blame for having been rejected. The Manic Pixie Dream Girl and similar tropes teach the opposite: be there for her, be her friend, and you automatically deserve her.
The Friendzone isn't some harmless idea that we can roll our eyes at and shrug that "boys will be boys," then move on from. Male entitlement to women's bodies doesn't end at the Friendzone. More than 1 in 10 Canadian women have reported being stalked. More than half of Canada's female murder victims were killed by a past or current intimate partner. 82% of sexual assault victims under the age of 18 are female.* We see time and time again- including just last month with Elliot Rodger's** mass shooting when he felt rejected by women- that women are too often portrayed as objects of affection and that the message is internalized and believed.
These are not coincidences. The media we consume and the ideas they reinforce can be dangerous to the point of violence. I personally know too many women and girls who have been threatened and stalked after refusing the romantic advances of men and boys who could not take no for an answer.
I was never going to be that girl. I am a woman, opinions, personality, choices, flesh and bone. I am so lucky my situation was at worst a dehumanizing inconvenience. I lost a friendship, but I was in no way danger of losing my life. Many, many women were not as lucky as I was.

Here Are NHL Logos Redesigned With 'Simpsons' Characters
Seeing artists' unique takes on sports logos is one of my favorite things on the Internet, 'The Simpsons' is one of my favorite shows on television, and hockey is my favorite sport.
So, with that being said, you can probably understand my level of excitement when I saw that @ak47_studios had worked to redesign NHL logos using characters from The Simpsons. The graphic designer posted a bunch of the designs to his Instagram account this week and they're awesome.

The DVR-LB3 is a low profile DVR lockbox design for 19" equipment racks. It is 2 post or 4 post mountable with adjusting rear flanges to accommodate a variety of rack depths. The DVR-LB3 is designed for both active or passive thermal management to accommodate whatever situation is necessary.
The Pelco LB101012 Double Unit Horizontal Lock Box provides security for 1 or 2 top- or front-loading VCRs. Made of 16 gauge cold-rolled steel, the box features a metal front panel with a smoked acrylic window and a tamper-resistant lock. Access to the units is via a gas-strut hinged lid. The box is cooled by means of a 120 VAC 60 Hz continuous-duty fan and side-vented panels.
The shelved interior of the Pelco LB3000 Lock Box offers storage and security for a VCR, multiplexer, up to 32 VCR tapes and printed materials such as user manuals.
The charcoal-gray powder-coat steel and aluminum box has 2 keyed locks and is wall mountable. A mounting plate is attached to the wall over a standard outlet electrical box, and then the lock box is quickly fastened to the mounting plate. Cables for video and power cables are brought into the lock box through a hole in the wall.

The rap duo Insane Clown Posse and the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan said on Tuesday that they had appealed a judge's order dismissing their case against the federal government for characterizing its fans — known as Juggalos — as gang members.
In the case, the group's two rappers, along with four of their fans, complained about a 2011 report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Gang Intelligence Center that classified Juggalos as "a loosely organized hybrid gang" that engages in criminal activity like "felony assaults, thefts, robberies and drug sales." One of the most devoted fan bases in pop music, Juggalos often emulate the band by wearing clown make-up and use a "hatchet man" symbol as their logo.
According to the suit, filed in January against the Justice Department and the F.B.I., that classification infringed on the fans' First Amendment rights of free association and expression, and had also led to incidences of harassment by law enforcement officers around the country. In court last month, lawyers for the government argued that not all Insane Clown Posse fans had been characterized as gang members — "just a certain subset of Juggalos."
The case was dismissed last week by Judge Robert H. Cleland of United States District Court in Detroit, who said that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. In a statement, Joseph Bruce, one of Insane Clown Posse's two members — he's better known as Violent J — said, "This is not the end — we'll keep fighting to clear the Juggalo family name."
