The life of fairness
Maybe someone was born in a superior family. They are treated as prince or princess. Maybe someone is decided to bear starvation and hardship since they were born. However, people should not be treated by just looking their appearance or skin color. Fairness is a significant factor which affects the social orders and interests of citizens. Martin Luther King is a heroic leadership model of fairness who strives for justice and fairness between black and white people in the 20th century. Based on Compiler Mitchell Brown (1996), Martin Luther King was born in 1929 and he was the first son of his family. Then he graduated from Morehouse College with a B.A. degree in Sociology. Later on, he was awarded many of the degrees from many of the colleges and universities in the United States and several foreign countries. Because of the civil rights movement, he received hundreds of awards. After several successful events, he is shot by James Earl Ray in 1968. (Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Biographical Sketch). Martin Luther King strives for justice and fairness through the event of Montgomery Bus Boycott. Since Rosa Parks is arrested due to she does not offer her seat to a white person, every black man gets angry. Then Martin Luther King declares the speech and leads people to protest, “Has since been called the first event in the civil rights era, the assembled group voted overwhelmingly to ‘refrain from riding buses…’” (Josh Gottheimer 210). This shows that Martin Luther King has ability to lead people and he is trustworthy in local black people’s mind. What he does then is selfless devotion to the disadvantaged people, so it is obviously that people is convinced by his speech and willing to follow him. Until the last, they succeed on the bus segregation protest. The heroic leadership model of fairness is also shown in Selma-Montgomery march. Voting rights is limited for black man. For...

I observed my team during a potluck. It was interesting to say the least. There were about 25 of us and most of all of us brought something to the potluck. What I noticed is most people just dug right in. I could see that the leaders of the group initiated the gathering and started the line to get food. Some people started where the main food was and others on the desserts. There was really a lot of confusion. I must say that in this situation according to The Person the nature of traits of behavioral dispositions took hold for me. When people noticed that the line was going two separate ways there were two responses. Some just pushed others out of the way and kept on getting their food. Others waited and let others get done. One, just one stopped the line reorganized it and had people start going in one direction. That person is definitely a leader. (They were in fact one of our senior representatives.) Others just did what I think their trait dictated. Most people don’t like confrontation and they would have been the one’s that waited to get their food to let others get out of the way first. The other’s that pushed their way in line are actually some of the trouble starters in the group and they didn’t care if it seemed rude or not. They wanted their food and went to get it. Now this may also mean that they are go-getters so that may not be a bad thing either. Linguistic categories may also explain why some people didn’t mind stepping in front of another. Because I am looking in from the outside I really have no bases for my assumption. It may be that they needed to get back to work and were rushing not paying attention that they were moving others out of the way. This was a great exercise, something I would do in the future just to see how people interact.

Report: Auckland rail targets unrealistic

Last updated 16:02 26/05/2014

Relevant offers

Rail patronage and city-centre employment targets set by the Government to allow an early start on Auckland's Central Rail Link are unrealistic and impractical, a report commissioned by the council says.

Auckland Mayor Len Brown wants to fast-track the rail link and start construction in 2016.

The Government has promised to fund half of the $3 billion city rail link for construction to start in 2020.

It would consider bringing that forward if CBD employment grew 25 per cent on 2012 levels or if rail use was on track to hit 20 million trips a year by 2020.

However, the report from consultants PwC says the governments targets are taken from data that did not reflect the needs or economic outcomes of the rail link.

The CRL targets were taken from the 2012 City Centre Future Access Study in a way that did not take into account the purpose of the study, the report said.

The Government's rail link patronage target was technically achievable and not inconsistent with growth rates observed since the opening of Britomart, the report said.

However, the timing of full rail electrification in 2015 and 2016 meant that growth was not expected to occur until it was too late to impact on the timing of the Central Rail Link.

The Government's employment target was practically unachievable given short and medium-term constraints on city-centre office space. That meant it would be impossible to accommodate an additional 22,000 jobs in the city centre before 2017, the report said.

Falling city-centre office vacancy rates, coupled with the lead time for construction of new office towers, meant that there was no capacity to accommodate a 25 per cent increase in city-centre employment by 2017.

Brown said a 2016 start to building the rail link was vital to Auckland's economic development and would help to prevent crippling peak-hour road congestion.

"Without the [Central Rail Link], by 2021 Auckland's bus network will have reached capacity, and speeds on city roads will have dropped to a creeping 7kmh during peak time," he said.

The rail link would double the capacity of Auckland's rail network, providing twice as many train journeys and passengers across the entire rail network and trains at most stations every 5-10 minutes at peak, the mayor said.

However, the Ministry of Transport said the targets were reasonable and the mayor's case for starting the rail link in 2016 was based on the same figures.

The 2020 start date was appropriate because growth projections indicated the tunnel would still be open well ahead of demand, the ministry said.

Ad Feedback

"Arguments that the employment growth target is challenging because the CBD growth can not happen at this rate apply even more strongly to the case for starting the City Rail Link early," a Ministry of Transport spokesperson said.

The PwC report proposed alternative targets for a 2016 CRL start date.

For rail patronage targets until the completion of electrification of Auckland's trains, PwC proposed continued growth at levels observed since the opening of Britomart in 2002. That equated to an annual increase of about 800,000 rail trips.

After rail electrification was completed through 2015/16 rail patronage growth should increase above the previously observed trend, equating to an annual increase in rail patronage of 1.5 million to 2 million trips.

A two-stage target was appropriate given that rail electrification was expected to be associated with a step change in the speed and capacity of Auckland's rail system.

The full impact of this change was not likely to be felt before 2016-2017, and as a result it would be premature to delay the rail link based on outcomes observed before that date, the report said.

Because of constraints on meeting employment targets by 2017, it was more realistic to focus on demand for existing capacity in the city centre and the market response to this demand, the report said.

Sufficient additional city-centre office space to meet forecast employment growth by 2021 should be consented and progressed towards construction, it said.

Speaking at a transport summit this morning Brown said he would not give up on moving the rail link start date forward.

"Three-plus years ago I lost count of the number of people who told me that the Government didn't like the CRL would never back it, and that I should drop it," Brown said.

"Now, those same people are telling me: 'they say 2026, so 2026 it is ... drop it.' Interesting," he said.

"No matter where I go in the region, and indeed the country, the most consistent message I hear is: 'Len, you need to fix Auckland's transport,'" Brown said.

Shane Jones on fire in 2014

Last updated 05:00 21/02/2014

The Labour Party's Shane Jones made an outstanding start to the political year after he accused Australian owned supermarket Countdown of extorting payment from New Zealand suppliers in a way that amounted to corruption, racketeering and blackmail.

Jones said that some firms had been told that their products would not be placed on the shelves of supermarkets unless they made back-dated payments and offered remuneration as compensation for losses.

Jones has cleverly used Parliamentary privilege to put his allegations and his performance has been stunning.

He described Countdown's behaviour as repugnant and the culture of Countdown as something that Tony Soprano would have been proud of.

Former National Party Minister and now Food and Grocery Council chief executive Katherine Rich supported his view and Labour knew they were on to a winner.

And doesn't Labour need Jones at the moment? Their leader David Cunliffe has made a weak start to the political year in direct contrast to his opposite John Key who has started the year firing on all cylinders. Cunliffe totally botched Labour's baby bonus policy when he said more than 59,000 families with newborns would receive their best start investment of $60 per week. It turned out he got all his figures wrong and then floundered when trying to explain the details of the policy.

He then looked stupid when it was found that he was part of the Shane Taurima group who attended a meeting at TVNZ.

It seems unbelievable that Cunliffe would not have thought for one second that attending a Labour meeting at the state broadcaster's headquarters was not wrong. Unlike Jones' start it's been a nightmare beginning for Cunliffe.

Jones' virtuoso performance in the house has kept Labour and, maybe even more importantly, him in the limelight.

It's no secret that he is not held in high regard by the strong women and rainbow factions. As well, despite him being far and away the most outstanding Maori Labour MP, he cannot lay claim to leading the Maori caucus.

Despite his tremendous performance in the Labour leadership race he was still seen as vulnerable in terms of getting a high list position by some of his detractors within Labour but his latest performance should silence that lot.

He has taken the side of the underdog. Kiwis hate bullies, particularly Australian corporate bullies of the Tony Soprano style.

Labour are still relevant only because of him at the moment and if Cunliffe continues with his mediocre performances Jones should be seen as the only alternative as Labour Party leader.

Editor's note: Countdown has denied Shane Jones' allegations.

Fake bags for fake women

Last updated 05:00 18/08/2012

ALL FAKE: A new book says women who wear fake brands are more likely to lie and cheat than other women.

Best & worst dressed celebrities Dame Kate Harcourt teams up with Partridge Jewellers The struggle to launch your own fashion label African-themed fashion show slated for only using white models Are these the five worst shoes in the history of fashion? Tyra Banks rants against fashion industry Kanye West’s Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers right fit G-string underwear in decline as 'technical' knickers take over Designer Rick Owens punches model after his catwalk death threat to the German chancellor Vogue slammed for suggesting Cara D's gay relationship is a phase

If you're someone who doesn't mind carrying a fake Gucci bag, wearing a pair of imitation Cartier earrings or donning knockoff designer sunglasses, think again. Dan Ariely, the author of a new book about dishonesty, says women who wear fake brands are more likely to lie and cheat than other women.

Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioural economics at Duke University in the US and a bestselling author, provides evidence to support his claims in his book The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Including Ourselves.

One of Ariely's most intriguing discoveries came when he was given a Prada overnight bag and noticed how he felt different carrying it.

"I stood a little straighter and walked with a bit more swagger," he said. "I wondered what would happen if I wore Ferrari underwear. Would I feel more invigorated? More confident? More agile? Faster?"

Interested by this, Ariely and his colleagues carried out research to find out how wearing brands, both luxury and fake, affect how we behave.

In one test, Ariely gave designer Chloe sunglasses to female MBA students. He told one group they were wearing the authentic glasses and another group that they were wearing fakes. Would the women wearing what they thought were fake glasses behave differently from those wearing the real thing?

He explained: "If our participants felt that wearing fakes would broadcast (even to themselves) a less honourable self-image, we wondered whether they might start thinking of themselves as somewhat less honest. And with this tainted self-concept in mind, would they be more likely to continue down the road of dishonesty?"

To investigate this further, the women were asked to complete a maths test where they were able to report how many problems they had successfully solved. The results were surprising - 74 per cent of women who thought they were wearing fake accessories reported doing better at the test than they really had while only 30 per cent of the women wearing authentic items cheated. According to Ariely, this demonstrated that while everyone had been tempted to cheat, those who thought they were wearing fake designer glasses cheated more often.

Ariely then conducted a second test in which he sought to uncover the existence of what he calls the "what-the-hell effect". He likens this to dieters tempted to break their diet with something small such as eating one chip and then saying "what the hell" and abandoning the diet.

One group of women were given the authentic designer glasses and the other received fakes. They were again asked to complete a test but this time there was a financial incentive. The results revealed that when faced with the chance of maximising their profit, higher levels of cheating were observed by the group who thought they were wearing the fake sunglasses. Notably once the cheating began, this group showed a greater willingness to keep cheating on their answers.

Ariely noted the wearers of the fake sunglasses "showed a much greater tendency to abandon their moral constraints and cheat at full throttle".

Ad Feedback

"Once we knowingly put on a counterfeit product, moral constraints loosen to some degree, making it easier for us to take further steps down the path of dishonesty," he concluded.

The moral of the story, he wrote, is "if you, your friend, or someone you are dating wears counterfeit products, be careful! Another act of dishonesty may be closer than you expect."

Ariely believes wearing counterfeit fashion has a deeper impact on a person's morality than other counterfeit goods. "I do think clothes are different because clothes are a constant reminder of who we are" he told Life & Style. Unlike an illegal download where once you have listened or watched it is done with, he says, "imagine you are buying fake sunglasses and you carry them everywhere you go. It is a reminder that these are illegal."

Fashion is also "something that we pay attention to, to signal to other people who we are, something we are proud of. It's something you might get comments on. You might be afraid of getting comments on it in case it is a counterfeit and because of that it captures much more of our attention, energy and awareness."

Will Ariely's results deter women from wearing fake merchandise? "Perhaps a little," he says, "but I don't think people think about the consequences of their actions when they go and buy fake merchandise. I suspect that if women understood the consequences to a higher degree they might not do it as frequently."

As well as damaging fashion manufacturers, there are other reasons to stay away from fakes - counterfeit goods are linked to organised crime. In July, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) put counterfeiting under the spotlight by launching an awareness campaign. Counterfeiting is estimated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to generate about $US250 billion ($238 billion) a year in criminal proceeds.

UNODC warns: "Buying a counterfeit handbag or pair of jeans might not be regarded as an illegal transaction - simply a cheaper way to wear the latest fashion goods. However, often little thought is given to how the money may ultimately end up in the hands of organised crime groups.

"Criminal organisations are often involved beyond just producing and moving counterfeit goods, with many also trafficking drugs, firearms and people" it says.

"If your favourite designer brand is clearly not made by your favourite designer, stay away. Remember - while these purchases may save you money in the short term, the longer-term losses are far more costly."

Matt's Movies

Return of the nightmare Neighbourly love? Not likely 'Comedy' hits new low Fiennes shines in sterling cast Still crazy about it, after all these years Thinking outside the norm Doing job with less charm, more shine Solid bloke in tale of human greed Good idea, shame about the movie Bringing Aids back into focus

Whenever I hear people going on about declining morals and the world going to hell I think about all the kids I know.

For the most part they seem to be nice people who know the difference between right and wrong.

They are certainly just as honest, friendly and kind as the children I grew up with. They also strike me as smarter.

Next I think about their influences. From what I can tell parents love children as much as they always have and, if our family's experience is anything to go by, schools have improved out-of-sight.

Then I think about the books and comics they read and the TV and movies they watch.

Generally speaking, these are full of positive messages about the importance of being a decent human being, sticking up for your mates, giving people a fair go and doing the right thing.

Kids also get extra encouragement these days when it comes to caring for the environment.

The conclusion I come to is that, on the whole, our young people are just as virtuous as previous generations and more likely to look after Mother Nature.

I also think they are more tolerant, accepting of diversity and brighter. I suspect they may also be more creative.

In other words, those people banging on about society's moral decline don't know what they're talking about and we actually have plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about young people and the directions in which they will take us.

For a brilliant example of the media doing the right thing by kids and society in general, check out Frozen.

A Disney animated movie loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen, and featuring a lot of songs, Frozen is wonderfully entertaining and just as packed with positive messages as anything enjoyed by previous generations.

The story centres on two sisters: Princess Anna and her elder sister Princess Elsa. For reasons that are never explained Elsa was born with the power to make snow and ice just by thinking about them and waving her hands around.

Unfortunately these powers get the better of her at her coronation ball. Angry and humiliated, the new queen flees the palace and takes up residence in an ice castle in the mountains. So great are her powers the entire kingdom is pitched into permanent winter.

Not surprisingly Frozen looks sensational. In fact, snow and ice have arguably never looked so good.

Just as good as Frozen's sumptuous visuals are its vocal performances by Kristen Bell as Anna, Idina Menzel as Elsa, Jonathan Groff as a hunky ice seller, Santino Fontana as a handsome prince and, best of all, Josh Gad as a talking snowman named Olaf.

Ad Feedback

Gad, who played Steve Wozniak in Jobs, gives what must be one of the funniest and warmest vocal performances in recent times. His Olaf doesn't appear until well into the story but when he does he lifts the whole film from really good to great.

The screenplay boasts well-drawn characters, fabulous dialogue, plenty of laughs and the kind of twists you don't expect in a fairytale.

Unlike a lot of modern animated films it isn't loaded with jokes aimed at grown-ups that go over kids' heads.

Instead it's full of humour that will appeal to all ages. In Anna it also has a great role model for girls.

Frozen even has songs that you can't help enjoying. It's not strictly a musical but on several occasions the characters burst into song in very satisfying ways. Normally I can't stand singing in movies but in Frozen, just like everything else about the film, it works.

Wonderful. ★★★★★ (Out of five).

Also screening: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (M) Lots to enjoy if you're still into hobbits.

Damage to Artbox enhances artwork

Mother Nature - not vandals - is responsible for damage to a sculpture which commemorates Cantabrians' strength after the quakes.

However artist Jason Ware, who created Halfspace, Bands 4 Life, says the damage caused by recent high winds might just add to the artwork's meaning.

He said repairs could be incorporated into the installation, which is on the Artbox site on the corner of High St and Madras St.

"In Christchurch now, it's about repairs and standing up to wear and tear. It's still about resilience and longevity and laughing in the face of destructive forces."

Ware planned to use most of the original material in the repaired piece.

He hoped to get some financial help for the job.

Unfortunately, the artwork has not escaped criminal hands altogether.

One of the dining room chairs was used to vandalise an Artbox Gallery acrylic window.

"I have been experiencing people destroying the work purposely ever since the installation and I have been regularly repairing it."

However, the wind damage was the worst it had sustained.

French government resigns

French President Francois Hollande dissolved the government on Monday after open feuding in his Cabinet over the country's stagnant economy.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls offered up his Socialist government's resignation after accusing the outspoken economy minister of crossing a line with his blunt criticism of the government's policies. Hollande accepted the resignation and ordered Valls to form a new government by Tuesday.

France has had effectively no economic growth this year, unemployment is hovering around 10 percent, and Hollande's approval ratings are in the teens.

The country is under pressure from the European Union to get its finances in order, but Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg has questioned whether the austerity pressed by the EU will kick start French growth. Hollande's promises to cut taxes and make it easier for businesses to open and operate have stalled, meanwhile, in large part because of the divisions among Socialists.

"A major change in our economy policy," was what Montebourg had said was needed, just days after Hollande had expressly said there would be no change in direction.

The minister's comments angered the Socialist leadership, which said Montebourg's job was to support the government, not criticize it from within.

"He's not there to start a debate but to put France back on the path of growth," Carlos Da Silva, the Socialist Party spokesman, told Le Figaro newspaper.

Montebourg's criticism of austerity — and his pointed remarks about German Chancellor Angela Merkel — have rankled before.

In an interview last week, after Germany's economy also showed signs of stagnation, Montebourg said France's neighbor had been "trapped by the policy of austerity."

He went on to say "when I say Germany, I mean the German right wing that supports Angela Merkel. It's not France's job to align itself to the ideological axioms of Germany's right wing."

Ad Feedback

Montebourg represents the hard-left Socialist base, and his departure from the government is likely to anger many of the voters who brought Hollande to office in 2012.

Since that time, France's economy has only worsened, and the sense of impending crisis weighs heavily.

French officials have already made clear that the deficit will again surpass the 3 percent target set by the European Union, and are negotiating a delay.

Merkel on Monday declined to comment directly about the change in government but said she wishes "the French president success with his reform agenda."

OK, let’s get the obvious bit out of the way first. Yes, there’s a format war. Yes, this Toshiba deck ‘only’ plays HD-DVD discs and most additional legacy discs, such as DVD and CD. And yes, that means if some movies only come out on Blu-ray, you are, if you’ll forgive the pun, stuffed.

But in fairness, the same restrictions apply to Blu-ray decks – including the mighty PS3 – and, to be equally fair, Toshiba’s HD-XE1 flagship works so well as a DVD player, it still makes financial sense to invest in one.

Even if HD-DVD does eventually go belly up – unlikely in the foreseeable future, but let’s just say ‘if’ – you’ll be left with a very tasty DVD player, plus a smattering of your favourite movies in hi-def. Not the end of the world, is it?

Built to last

Besides, the Toshiba is so transparently well-made, so obviously desirable, that we reckon it’s been put out to market as a ‘loss-leader’ to get popular attention.

If Denon built a DVD player to this standard, it’d charge much more: the Toshiba is lavishly built from thick chunks of metal, its remote is a backlit brick of equally dense materials, and everything about this deck’s functionality oozes quality.

The specification is equally comprehensive. The Toshiba was one of the first hi-def players to include Ethernet connectivity, and it has benefited throughout its life from a series of free, easy-to-install firmware upgrades.

For example, in its latest form, it can output 1080p at 24fps (earlier versions couldn’t), and it has vastly improved disc loading times. It’ll also upscale DVDs to 1080p quality if needed.

Hi-def audio on the way

As for sound, the current firmware spec won’t allow for high-definition audio to be sent via the ‘XE1’s HDMI audio out, but we’re assured that a suitable (and free) fix is in the works.

In the meantime, it’s simple enough to decode Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD audio onboard the player, for output via its six-channel analogue out. Alternatively, you can stream HD audio in PCM quality via the player’s HDMI out, or listen to standard Dolby Digital/DTS sound from either optical or coaxial sockets.

Astounding performance

And performance? Nothing short of exceptional. We can see many prospective buyers in the £600 DVD player market being swayed by the Toshiba’s charms: it competes very well with most price rivals on both picture and sound. The upscaled 1080p DVD image quality is as assured and stable as it ought to be, while the colour balance is exemplary.

And as for HD DVD – well, blimey. The Matrix has always been a home cinema stalwart: on HD DVD, and fed through the Toshiba, it’s an astounding experience, with sharpness and colours that are sure to impress.

The player’s onboard surround sound decoding does a great job with the film’s Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, too, so you get a sound experience that almost matches the majesty of the picture. When the full-house audio spec arrives – meaning that the player will be able to send the likes of Dolby TrueHD from its HDMI out – things will only get better.

Stuff says...

Toshiba HD-XE1 review

It’s got a few grey hairs but the XE1 is still one of the best HD-DVD – not to mention DVD – players for the cash

What model did you get? And no, they won't be too baggy after a few wears. Maybe over time. My deep indigos barely stretched after about a yr of wear and couple hand washes., I did go tts tho
Omg that was funny! J1987- try going true to size in the WG it does sound like the 29's would work tho
Thers some discussion on another thread about how the jeans aren't selvedged and are specifically made for gilt. someone posted a pic of organic indigo slim guys and they had a zipper fly..i thought only jeans with stretch came with a zipper?
No need to soak, just wear them man. Only un-sanforized denim should be soaked before you wear them
With the jeans being that baggy I doubt they'll stretch much if any, the waist will stretch. After a hem theyll look better. But you could probably size down one more.
Thats a great fit! You should post a full pic tho. They look like theyre the same color s APC's?
Size 29 deep indigo back rise is 13.25
How the hell do you guys not undo the top button on other pants? I've always just undone my belt and all buttons. It's a struggle to unbutton the lower buttons even on my apc's.
I dont see how so many people have issues with the crotch area. Either you guys have huge butts, sizing diwn too much, or wearing them too high. I have noticed a lot of people wear their jeans kinda high like the pic in the previous page with that guy wearing suspenders.
Its their Butler program. And they don't just take any worm in pair, its up to them if they'll except a certain pair.

My courtlands from the seconds sale came in. Posting a pic next to my rusts, just as a data point for people stuck between the brown/rust colors. Can also see the punches in the tongue indicating they are seconds. They don't look like seconds in that pic..   There's a slice in the leather that's not too deep, and would be covered by pantleg anyway; For the price, I'm totally happy just gluing that down.   I'm more concerned about the heel coming away, though. Anyone...
Oh crap, sorry, that was "mink" oil on those, not obenaufs. I'd expect similar results, but didn't mean to mislead you. I liked the "before" color better, but not going to lose any sleep over it. Eventually wear and tear would probably get to a similar place. I'm no expert, but if you really like the original color, I'd say wear them in the rain first, and then sno-seal them if your feet get wet.
Not the morley, but iron ranger, which has a warmer tone than the morley. Nonetheless this should give an approximation of what happens when roughout leather is treated - this is with obenaufs mink oil. The shininess will go away over time (and can be assisted by gentle application of a wire suede brush), and also the color will lighten up a little bit with time/wear, but not as light as before the treatment
Those are rust. Here's a brown chromexcel boot (not wolverine, sorry) next to a rust chromexcel 1k miler. The orangeness is less pronounced when you're not pointing a flash at it, but it's a little lighter and warmer than brown. When I first took them out of the box I thought for a second that there was a mistake and I had received brown. Really you won't go wrong with either.
They cost 1/3 less than the 1k, and with the beefy/lug sole, have slightly less "dress" pretensions than the 1k.   But yeah, worse than the damage is that they thought it was a good idea to put that in their product photo.   Or knew it wasn't a good idea and being that they're a small startup just didn't realize they had options.   Can imagine the anxiety that caused.   Nice looking boots otherwise. Wonder how the fit is.
  Factory First. Wolverine customer support has dropped off the face of the earth on me twice, now. Am I being unreasonable to want these replaced? I realize that the glue is *supposed* to hold when the stitches are gone, but the first thing the cobbler will need to do to put a vibram on these new boots is grind off the stitching. These are supposed to last a lifetime, and if Wolverine won't own up to their lousy QC now, they sure won't take care of me down the road...
So my Addisons showed up.. The left boot has a zebra effect where larger pores took up more of the dark color. The right boot has a pinch in the heel and the leather on that side is a little more relaxed than the rest of it.   Nothing as bad as some of what people have posted here, but not what I was hoping for. I don't know from shoe construction though - is that pinch reasonable, and not a sign of careless manufacture?   Not that they wouldn't get beat to hell...

I made the mistake of wearing elatively new pair of Alden calfskins out on the town and discovered a small tear in the leather on the outside heal of one of the shoes. It looks like I got a bit too close the the curb and the leather ripples and ripped away. The leather that tore from the shoe is perhaps 1.5mm long and its still attatched to the shoe. How should I go about repairing this shoe? Thanks in advance.
They look identical to these premier collection AS: http://www.pediwear.co.uk/detail.php?stock_ID=483 I purchased a pair of these and they came with some "bloom" like white spots on the heal. After some elbow grease, saphir renovateur, crema nubiana, saphir cream and wax they look wonderful.
Before this forum, I thought all one needed for shoecare was a tin of kiwi wax, a brush, and some old rags. After reading this forum, I have a drawer filled with: Saphir Renovateur Crema Nubiana 3 Saphir creams 4 Meltonian creams 4 Saphir wax 2 Lincoln wax 4 brushes Then again, some of my older (abused) shoes such as a beater pair of Bruno Magli Platinum series are looking better then ever!

If the presser did not notice (or did not bother to check) the trousers over before pressing, all he/she did was lay it on a pressing machine and went about their work. Wrinkles that were thre before might still be there. If they noticed it, they could have put the trousers on another smaller machine that kind of looks like an upside boxing glove, and worked out those wrinkles.

These new Alden models that can be seen at the Alden of Carmel site (sold by J Gilberst in Seattle) caught my eye. What are people's thoughts on them? I think the burgundy plaintoe blutchers look sharp and could go well with suit or more casual outfits. The cognac wingtips look awesome, but I can't help but think that these would not go well with anything short of jeans and/or sportcoat outfits in a shade of brown.

The 10 Most Stylish Funny Men

There’s nothing sexier than a funny man, and seeing the anti-pretty boy triumph confirms there’s justice in the world. Cult comedy gods endured stand-up hell to wring laughs out of us, and now, the payoff: success, which means upgrading to luxurious fabrics, shiny things, and all-around better style. But these guys don’t always receive their due credit. They’re often dismissed as goofballs who don’t have the sartorial instincts of the typical leading male, and that’s nonsense. Many of them dress. From Don Glover’s adorkable sweatshirts to Aziz Ansari’s mastery of suit separates, we’ve put together a rundown of comedy’s most stylish men.

6 Things We Need To Get Off Our Chests Before The World Ends

We don’t actually think the world is about to end, and we’ve been hard pressed to find a lot of people who do. Still, the prospect of The Rapture got us to thinking that there are a few things we should probably get off our chests before 144,000 of us get absorbed into the cosmos. Or whatever is about to happen.

We think we’ve lead good, honest lives here at Styleite, but we’d be lying if we said there weren’t a few things that have annoyed us or that we regretted during our time on Earth. So in the spirit of honesty and full disclosure, here are a few items on which we’re just going to go ahead and own up to and/or apologize for.

Trend Watch: The Full Skirt

By  | Location:  |  1 Comment

The full skirt dates way back and has always represented femininity to me. Mad Men has thrust the full skirt back into the limelight, along with bodices and breasts.

Wear your full skirt with haughty girlishness – the skirt should start at your natural waist and flare out from there, emphasising the classic female form.  Tights and heels complete the look.

Moving Into the Weekend

And it's a loooong weekend around here!

I think that I'm slowly solving the spam problem around here. Besides lowering my spam filter's threshold of what is marked as spam, I've also added quite a few words to a keywords filter that's installed. None of these words are new to me, but when I sat down to compose the list, I really had to think about them. I guess that I should be thankful that these aren't a normal part of my vocabulary.

The only problem is that if any of you start using dirty words on my blog, they'll get picked up as spam, and your comment quickly dumped. So, be warned. For that reason, I check the spam filter every, just to make sure that no "real" comments get mixed in. So far, no problem.

There's also been no problem with the knitting around here. I need to take an accurate gauge counting of the Claudette swatch, and I seem to think of it only as I'm rushing out the door for work. Normally that would be a problem, but because I'm working the Sophie Shawl on the side, I'm never far from subway knitting:

Sophie Progress

I'm still plugging away on my Sophie's Shawl from Morehouse Merino. It's such a delightfully simple and relaxing pattern.

Sorry about the terrible colors in this photo. I really need to find a bright backdrop so that the yarn is highlighted and not just washed out.

Here's a closeup of the pattern. I like how there's no wrong side to the shawl.

And I also like how much I enjoy this project.

It's Time to Face Reality

It's time to face the reality that I'm really NOT loving the Ooh La Lace Stole. Too bad, as I spent viele Geld on that Blue Sky Alpaca yarn. [See--German! Maybe all this work actually paying off.]

Not to fear, though, as I'm sure that I'll be able to find something else to do with it...soon.

Why don't I enjoy this knit? First, it has to do with the chart. It's a long chart--25 rows. it's impossible for me to memorize, and it's so freakin' easy to lose my place in it. Second, it has to do with facing another type of knitting reality these days. I ain't got no time to knit! And, I ask you: when I do have time to knit, why would I spend it by working on a project that I don't like?

I suppose that I would enjoy this project more if I regularly had long stretches where all I needed to do was knit. Apparently, my New York life is not going to allow me copious amounts of knitting time. It's not a bad thing. I have other responsibilities, an engaging home life (It's interesting to live with someone who seems genuinely happy to see me in the evening), a social life, and only one more "accelerated" German classe left before the semester ends. I'm hoping that once the course finishes I won't feel guilty every time that I decide to do something besides studying, reviewing, memorizing, and writing exercises.

The realization that I don't really like this project was reinforced by a knitting project I began and completed a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, no pictures. It was a gift. I suppose that I should have taken a photo before gift wrapping, and well I didn't. But imagine two garter-stitch squares. Yeah, it was a simple, quick, satisfying project that reminded me that I really do like knitting, when I don't need to make a project out of remembering the project that I'm knitting.

So, with that in mind I grabbed some stash yarn and began to swatch:

I grabbed this Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky last spring at Brooklyn General. I have no idea what I'm working towards. I consulted a few Spiders about adjusting the gauge for the FLS, and I received a resounding "no!". Okay, that's some good advice from people who know. Also in the queue is another one of Shannon's great turtleneck sweaters. Who couldn't use another turtleneck in this weather? I think that this yarn would work perfectly for that. But can I commit to another sweater right now? Maybe I want a different project.

Perusing the stash last week I came across a Morehouse kit I bought last year at Rhinebeck. I had wound up the yarn and everything. I looked at the pattern. Hmmm, a four-row repeat, three rows of which are garter stitch. Somehow I think that I could handle this.

So, Sophie's Shawl it is. A few rows in, and all seems well. I hate to write that though, because I think I have said that about so many projects in the past year or so.

Um, Wow?

Thank you, thank you for all your well wishes and congratulations! I'm was totally floored by all of your comments. Wow!

It's been more than a week, and Sven didn't ask for the ring back (ha--good luck, buddy!), so I suppose that this whole wedding thing is really going to happen. I promise not to turn this blog into a wedding planning site. That would get boring for you, and more importantly, boring for me. You don't come here to read about the wedding, you come to read about the knitting.

Here's what I'm working on now. It's the Ooh La Lace Stole [Rav link] from Lace Style. I'm using Blue Sky Alpaca--the yarn specified in the pattern! Long time blog readers know that this almost never happens.

Here's another photo:

As you can see, I don't know how to take a good photo of this lace.

I am enjoying the knit so far, but it's slow going (like just about all of my knitting projects these days). I knit last week only at Spiders, and probably the same this week again. Why? How do you say "German is kicking my patootie this semester" auf Deutsch? It's an accelerated course, and man, it is sehr schlecht. It's funny, because I knew that the course was accelerated when I registered for the class, but the implications of the "accelerated" designation didn't register with me. It's a good workout for the brain, but it's so fast that it's almost not enjoyable.

Let's just hope that the German doesn't supplant the knitting math.

I'll Be Seeing You...

in all those over air-conditioned places:

The Shetland Stole is complete!

Why wait until fall to use this? This will become my summertime back-of-the-chair wrap for those days when someone in my office thinks that we're running a meat locker. I have an energy-saving idea for every office: turn the thermostat up by five degrees in the summer, and down by five degrees in the winter. But, until that happens, my shoulders will be nice and warm in my Shetland Stole.

The details:

Yarn: Yarn All Over handdye, 1.5 hanks, colorway Moss. (The link is here for a reason. Go and buy some of this yarn! It's fabulous.)

Needles: US8s, with US9s for casting on and binding off.

Pattern: ten repeats of the Fir Cone pattern in A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker (scroll down to buy from the publisher).

Finished size: 45 by 22 inches, after blocking. Perfect!

Here I am pondering the next project. I need something for subway knitting. Stay tuned.

Fifth Judicial District Attorney race: Bruce Brown wants to work with Summit to right ship

Fifth Judicial District Attorney candidate Bruce Brown is running because he feels there has been a lack of leadership within the current office, and that change cannot come in the form of his competitor, Scott Turner.

"My opponent has been with the district attorney's office for five years. He considers himself a leader within that office," Brown said. "The change that needs to occur cannot come from within, it needs to come from outside the office and restore the confidence in the prosecutor's office to do justice by victims."

Among the issues Brown, a Democrat, takes with the current office: Only a very small percentage of Summit County's felony cases go to trial, he said, adding that "too many cases that go to trial are lost, and the cases that are resolved short of trial demonstrate a disconnect between the district attorney's handling of cases and our community conscious." Brown also says that 60 percent of the office's sexual assault cases are lost at trial.

"That's a disturbing situation for the community, as well as for those individuals," Brown said. "That has to do with trial skills."

If elected, Brown wants to give more mentoring to the young and inexperienced attorneys in order to give them more confidence in court, something he says will help with trial skills. Like his opponent, Brown is a fan of restorative justice, and would put it "foremost on the minds of every prosecutor in the court so that each defendant and each victim is being treated as an individual."

Brown also feels the current office turns a "blind eye" to high-priority offenders.

"With respect to the offenders that truly constitute a public safety risk, this office is not doing a good job of identifying them and giving them a punishment that fits the crime," he said.

When it comes to those first-time or youth offenders, Brown has a different take.

"I think we can take a more holistic view with many cases toward young or first-time offenders to give them the opportunity to keep their records clean, and to improve themselves without becoming a fixture in the criminal courts," he said, adding that he supports juvenile diversion programs.

A Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check conducted by the Summit Daily found that at the age of 21, Brown was convicted of a misdemeanor larceny and fined $50 for stealing a plant.

"I think as a result of many life experiences I have strongly held opinions today, including the fact that when people do things and they're young and they make mistakes; it shouldn't be something that tails them for the rest of their lives," he said.

Brown also cites a lack of communication within the current district attorney's office, and says he will return the phone calls he alleges the current office doesn't.

"There's been a failure of leadership in the district attorney's office under Scott Turner," Brown said. "I know that by harnessing the skills I have, with the strengths of the Summit County community, we can work together to right the ship."

Brown is divorced and has three children. In his free time, he enjoys doing community service, coaching sports, skiing, hiking and vacationing.

Brown has been practicing law for 26 years. He grew up in California, and after graduating law school at the age of 23, began working for the Los Angeles public defender's office. After two years, Brown was handling his own cases and investigations. He went into private practice not long after, and has stuck with it ever since. Brown moved out to Colorado full-time in 2002, and currently works out of Idaho Springs. He served as the Clear Creek County coordinator for the Hickenlooper for Governor campaign.

Brown has never worked as a prosecutor - the closest work he does is in victim representation, he said - and alleges that his opponent's attacks on his defense background are misleading; Turner is trying to undermine his qualifications, he said.

"Frankly, I don't think I've ever seen a good prosecutor who is not a good defense attorney, or vise versa," he said. "Well over a dozen current and former prosecutors endorse my candidacy, as well as elected district attorneys. These are experts in the field who say this is a false test for the position."

Brown, like Turner, doesn't know his record, but said the assumption that it matters is false. Whatever it is, he's proud of it.

"I'm thought of in general as the lawyer who takes the tough and unwinnable cases. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't," he said. "What I hope is reflected in my record is that I give 110 percent for every client, whether victim or accused. They leave the courtroom believing that I did everything possible for their case, win or lose."

Good lawyers are good communicators, he said, a skill Brown feels he can bring to the district attorney's office.

"From the standpoint of returning common sense to the courtroom, we need a change," Brown said.

Another poplular hike on Peter's Mountain is to start at the Clark's Ferry Bridge, just as the normal route to the summit. But then bypass the summit and continue on to the new Appalachian Trail bridge over Route 147 and on to the Peter's Mountain hut.

Product Description

This excellent source is written for west-central Montana for the area included in the Bitterroot River Basin from the high Bitterroots east to the Sapphire Mountains, though it is useful throughout much of western Montana and northern Rocky Mountains. Provided are excellent discussions of the physiological setting, geology, climate, floral breakdown, historical botanical exploration, instructions for use and a glossary. The key itself is of line key form and the excellent illustrations are taken from the Flora of the Pacific Northwest. Though it is a bit large for easy use in the field this comprehensive work is an essential component of anyone’s library who is interested in the regions flora.

This book is a product of the USDA Forest Service research system and is not very easy to find. Currently it is unavailable on amazon.com and other commercial outlets. Contacting the local Forest Service or BLM offices in western Montana or the bookstore at the University of Montana is probably the best way to currently find this locally popular book.

From the back flap:

This comprehensive guidebook provides keys, illustrations, and descriptions that aid identification of the 1,600+ species and varieties of vascular plants growing in west-central Montana. The area covered encompasses Ravalli County and southern Missoula County, and it includes the Bitterroot National Forest and portions of the Lolo National Forest. This guidebook uses a minimum of technical terminology and is intended for use by the public as well as by scientists, foresters, and educators. It may also serve as a model for compilation of similar information in other regions.

mrhExcellent Book

Voted 5/5

This is a very worthwhile book that is both easy to use and very comprehensive. The supporting material such as geological and climatic discussions are superior to almost any other book of this type and really help one get the feel for the area. Its hard to find, but I have frequently seen it in the University of Montana bookstore in Missoula.

Solo Summits

Postby mliuzzolino » Sat Nov 16, 2013 9:22 pm

Hi all,

I have been a hiker and climber for quite a long time and I have recently come into love with mountaineering. I took a technical course in New Zealand a year ago and I loved it. I am traveling to Patagonia soon for a 3 week break from university where I will just be trekking around, but I remembered one of my guides while in New Zealand.

She would often do solo summits up to Mt. Cook, and I am now considering getting into doing solo summits, but it's difficult to imagine how it might be done. Everything we did in the course was with a partner (all the rock, ice, and snow climbing and glacier travel).

I am wondering what all is involved with solo summits and what kind of techniques and gear might be required. I've had a little bit of a difficulty finding information or articles on it online - everything coming up is about partner summits and belaying/climbing techniques. How is this accomplished by one's self?

Thanks for your time in reading this and I look forward to your responses!

Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2012

Shaylee, Kessler and I went for a climb of Sawtooth Mountains in the Elkheads. Many times we had viewed the mountain from many of the nearby ones, and it looked interesting, but this was the first time we set out to climb it.

We made our way to the trailhead and started out approach to the mountain. We went cross country part way, crossed the Bears Ears Trail before following it a ways and then climbed up to the base of the volcanic dike. We followed the base for a while before climbing up to the top of the dike.

We had hoped to follow the crest of the dike, but it was too rugged and technical so we dropped off the north side. Unfortunately there were several rose bushes to get through, but we followed the north side of the dike westward until they petered out. From there on, it was an easy climb to the summit.

After enjoying the summit and the views of the autumn leaves, we headed down the south face, making a good scramble down a cliff before heading cross country to Sawtooth Park. It was a trail walk from there back to the trailhead.

The Wasatch Behind: Cabinet secretary Spud

Guest contributor

"Did you hear the news?" Uncle Spud shouted into the telephone. "Fox News just said the Irish guy won the election."

"Are you talking about Obama?" I asked, struggling to wake up. It was 11 o'clock and I had been asleep for an hour.

"Yes," he declared. "The Irish guy, O'Bama. This is unprecedented. It's the first time we've elected a black Irishman to be our president."

"He's not Irish," I growled. "He's Afro-Kansas American. He was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up in Chicago. I don't think he's ever been to Ireland."

"Well, maybe he wasn't born in Ireland," Spud said. "But neither was JFK. And Jack Kennedy always called himself an Irishman."

"Good grief," I groaned. "What does it matter?"

"O'Bama and Kennedy have a lot in common," Spud insisted. "Both were in their mid-40's when elected. Both were United States senators. Both were handsome, charismatic and skinny as pencils. Both were captivating speakers who inspired a whole generation of young people. They each had two kids when entering the White House and their wives were fashion trendsetters. But then, you should have seen the dress Michelle was wearing at the victory party. It was all black with a red belly; made her look like a spider. Morbid bad taste if you ask me. Makes you wonder who's designing her clothes."

"It doesn't matter to me what the first lady wears or whether Obama is Irish or not," I insisted. "He's soon to be our president and I'll support him all I can."

"I feel the same way," Spud said with a big smile. "In fact, the president elect is putting together his new cabinet and I've applied for a job. I wrote him a nice letter and volunteered to be his secretary of education."

"How could you be secretary of education? You didn't finish third grade," I said.

"The secretary of education is the guy who educates the president," Spud said smugly. "I think I could teach him some things."

"Like what?"

"Like how to solve our most pressing problems. For instance, I've figured out a way to bail out the auto industry without giving Detroit any free money."

"Do tell," I said eagerly.

"Instead of giving GM and Ford $25 billion, let's give every household in American a new car," he said. "It would help the industry, cost about the same, and it would sure make a lot more people happy."

"Brilliant," I agreed. "What else do you suggest we do?"

"We could honorably withdraw from both foreign wars by combining Iraq and Afghanistan into one country called Iraqistan. That should start a civil war between the Taliban and Al Qaida and we could sneak out while they are busy fighting each other. We could get Osama Bin Laden by marking 'return to sender' on his next smart-mouthed videotape and then send Marines to follow the postman back to his mailbox.

"We could solve the illegal immigration problem overnight by annexing Mexico. We could strengthen the dollar and help American agriculture at the same time by putting our currency on a potato standard. China has all of our gold and silver, so potatoes are about all we have left. Don't laugh. It would be a good move. Potatoes backing our money would be better than nothing.

"We could solve global warming and the energy crisis at the same time by covering wilderness areas with thousands of square miles of solar panels that would generate electricity while at the same time reflecting harmful sunlight back into outer space. As an emergency stopgap measure we could issue life rafts to polar bears until the arctic and hell freeze over again."

"Sounds like you've got it covered," I had to admit. "But are you sure the secretary of education is the guy who educates the president?"

"Sure I'm sure," he smiled. "I know what all of the cabinet secretaries do. The secretary of state makes official statements. Secretary of interior is over drapes, furniture and floor coverings at the White House. Secretary of the treasury keeps the books and buys everyone lunch. Secretary of labor bosses the cooks, mechanics and maintenance staff. The homeland security secretary locks the doors and pulls down the shades at night. The attorney general outranks the attorney corporal. And the secretary of defense takes all of the hard questions at news conferences."

"As secretary of education, you'll fit right in," I assured him.

Whistler Hotel Trip Advisor Review

Our guest services team at the Sundial Boutique Hotel is working hard to ensure each and every stay at our Whistler hotel is memorable and enjoyable. This has been translating into a number of extremely positive reviews on Trip Advisor.

In the latest review it is fantastic to see that our guests enjoyed so many of the features that make the Sundial Boutique Hotel a unique and special Whistler Village hotel including the roof top hot tub, spacious suites, and fully equipped kitchen.

"Date of review: Feb 14, 2011 - New
Our family (3 children and 3 adults) stayed the beginning of February. We stayed in a mountain view 2 bedroom on the 7th floor. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent. We had A LOT of gear since we were traveling with a baby, 2 children, and 3 adults. The front desk met us at our car, helped us unload all of our gear, and got us up to our room in no time at all. By the time I had the car parked, our gear had been delivered to our room!

The view from our room was amazing! On Sunday night we watched the "Fire and Ice" show at the base of the gondola from our window. The room was large, well laid out and handled our family in comfort. There was a nice kitchen area and we cooked dinner in the room almost every night. The roof top hot tub was in good condition and I thought it was nicer in person than in the virtual tour. We used the hot tub everyday after skiing.

We travel to Whistler yearly and have stayed in many different hotels. This was our first stay with Sundial and it will now be our #1 choice. The Sundial has the best service, location, and rooms out of all of our previous trips.

Sequester: Time for president to lead rather than politic

This whole thing is for show. 4 years ago he wanted it so they could have time to fix the problem, now he is blaming congress. It's all smoke and mirrors in a capital filled with liars and cheats.

CIAO Professore
Lina Wertmuller's Ciao Professore was released in Italy as Il Speriamo che me la Cavo. Paolo Villago plays an urbane, supercillious schoolteacher who hopes to be assigned to an upper-crust district. Instead, a bureaucratic snafu ships Villago to the impoverished town of Corzano. Of the fifteen third-graders in his class, only three show up on the first day of school. Fortified with condescention and disgust, Villago personally sets out to collect his deliquent students. He discovers that most of them are absent because they're forced on a daily basis to hustle for their very survival; in some instances, the kids are their familys' sole support. Villago not only develops a stronger understanding and bond with the children, but he also ends up adopting their street smarts in a moment of crisis. Based on Me, Let's Hope I Make It, a collection of essays written by Neapolitan street kids and edited by Marcello D'Orta, the location-filmed Ciao Professore is one of Lina Wertmuller's most benign and life-affirming efforts. Enhancing its appeal is the use of non-professionals for most of the secondary roles.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Rated No Rating .

Rare hamsters cheat for Hamsterz Life 2

Rare hamsters

On the game case when you get Hamsters Life 2, it shows a striped hamster... Well there is anothere rare breed and I am going to tell you how to get it. The breed is called a star hamster, they have different color fur but yellow stars down their back... Ok now this is how you get it, Alright you first have to get a Golden hamster pregnant (it doesn't matter what type of Golden ) Then when Bill tells you that your hamster is pregnant you save and then turn off your Ds and then turn it on and go to your settings, now change your time to 2:30-2:50a.m., (it has to be early in the morning) then go to change the date to either your B-day, or on Christmas day.. Then turn your ds off. Then turn it on and go to your pregnant hamster and see if you got a star hamster.. If not you turn ds off right away without saving then keep trying untill you get a star hamster. Their are many different colors and I hope you get the right one you want.

When ever I leave my DSI on charege so i get more stars it turns of in moring.[video][video][/video] [/video]

Added 7th Apr 2014, ID #372406

The hamster has to be three weeks to breed. If you want little baby hamsters, you have to have at least one cage open, or a daycare spot open.
To breed:
Get the two hamsters that are breedable, put them in the same cage, you HAVE to leave your DS on the charger and the lid up all night/day, as it takes a long time for them to breed. If you want to know when the female is pregnant, talk to the owner of the pet store.
