Bringing business to mountain no walk in the park
Relevant offers
The Aoraki/Mt Cook region stuns visitors with its natural beauty, a reminder of how important New Zealand's conservation values are.
But there is also money to be made in the confluence between the mountains and the glacial valley bottom that is Aoraki/Mt Cook village.
Air New Zealand has tested the waters, putting on flights three days a week, from December 26 through to tomorrow, to an airstrip near the village.
Tourism operators have welcomed the move and look forward to any extension in 2013/14, although the airline says it is unlikely to repeat the flights next summer.
So business owners will continue to work very hard to make the most of the important peak tourism season during the summer.
Since January 7, 2003, Mary and Charlie Hobbs, with grown-up children, have run The Old Mountaineers' Cafe and Bar in the village area, with Charlie also running glacier kayaking trips up the growing lake at the foot of the Tasman Glacier.
They are now pushing towards an agreement with the Department of Conservation on an extension to their business: a new inn and spa.
Also they have recently sold their Sumner home in Christchurch, and invested in a farm near the intersection of the State Highway 8 and the road alongside Lake Pukaki, up to the visitor drawcard of The Hermitage.
Their plan is inspired by the dramatic mountain and glacier backdrop.
Mary Hobbs espouses environmentally friendly values, uses organic food at the cafe, and talks about the advantages of owning a nearby farm. She also thinks overseas visitors should be charged entry to the park.
She has other business ideas. The couple have suggested to DOC that business owners should be allowed to take a freehold land title in the park area. Currently, they run on a 30-year lease, with the right of renewal for another 30 years, although they own the cafe building on the land and run their own accommodation for their cafe workers.
Mary's frustrations with both DOC and The Hermitage hotel, owned by John Davies (who is reportedly worth $90 million), have been outlined in a book, Matagouri And Other Pricks.
She tells the story of DOC's alleged bureaucratic tricks surrounding the couple's business plans in the village area, which is part of the national park. The pair had been at loggerheads with The Hermitage hotel about building their cafe.
She describes the whole process as "war".
"We were the first to break the monopoly here in the village . . . a business that has been here for over 100 years and a national park that has been here since 1953," Mary says.
"When our backs were to the wall back in 2004, and we were getting a particularly hard time, instead of retreating we decided to expand, so we put in plans for a health spa right at the front of the village, and also The Old Mountaineers' Inn to go with the restaurant."
The Hobbs' frustration with the processes may have eased a bit. Mary is now confident they and DOC should be able to resolve issues around the planned inn and spa facility, the concession for which was approved in 2010.
"Here we are in 2013 quibbling over the conditions with DOC . . . one example that springs to mind is that DOC wanted us, as one of the clauses, to agree that we would agree to any policy that they brought into the park in the future . . . They could bring in a policy that you have to pack up and go," she adds.
DOC spokeswoman Fiona Oliphant says a concession application by the couple was approved in 2010.
"The department is in the process of working through draft terms and conditions of the concession with the applicant. The applicant has provided a number of suggested amendments to the terms and conditions, which are currently being worked through," Oliphant says
Mary Hobbs notes that the earthquakes did eat into road traffic from Christchurch, which impacted the business, but visitor numbers are "coming back".
She won't detail how much the couple have invested in their project so far. "Let's just say we've invested a substantial part of our life and I think that comes at a certain cost. For instance, just to get the permission for this place [cafe] took 10 years [from 1993]."
The Hermitage is more of an institution in the village, and has expanded its operations to 216 available rooms of different grades, as well as tourism operations including the Tasman Valley 4WD & Argo Tours, which has been running for 18 years and was bought by the Davies' group about four years ago.
The Hermitage general manager Nigel Harper is understated in his response to plans by Mary and Charlie Hobbs and others to expand business in the park.
He says it is a DOC decision for such approvals, and that The Hermitage is open to more business enterprise in the area.
"If [DOC] want to get more people in there with more business, they can. [It would worry me] not the slightest."
But tourism is dependent on visitor numbers.
Harper says he has already spoken to Air New Zealand about the potential for an expanded 2013/14 season from October to the end of March. He was asking for "more flights for a longer period of time". "They have it over six weeks, which is not a great sample period."
An Air New Zealand spokesperson responded that it was unlikely the Mt Cook service would resume next season, because of low demand. Air New Zealand did operate services between Christchurch and Mt Cook a decade ago, with the final flights in February 2002.
Harper says it is a different area to operate in, given that flying and driving in supplies to the remote location comes at a cost. "Everything we need here is freighted in. All the rubbish, whether it is combustible or not, is freighted out. It's a pain . . . the operating costs of the hotel parts are very, very high."
In terms of further potential expansion, there was "nothing on the drawing boards" at the moment, Harper says.
However, there is constant fine-tuning; The Hermitage rooms were upgraded in the past year or so and the group is improving the motel and chalet rooms this winter.
The accommodation-based group had noticed a bounce-back from the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes, with the flights leading to a good high summer season. "There's no effect on us at the moment. Obviously it did last year compared to the year before . . .," Harper says.
"We're back now up to 2010 levels, and probably a bit more as well. We're up nicely on accommodation from overseas especially, Japanese, Korean, Chinese - all good groups."
Graeme Slatter, who runs the Argo tours on behalf of The Hermitage group up the Old Ball Hut Rd near the bottom of the Tasman glacier, says it is a compact working environment. "About 200 people live and work here in the village. You have to live here to work here. There's about 100 of us here in the winter time."
Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism chief executive Tim Hunter says it has been lobbying Air New Zealand to retain the air link with Mt Cook. The service was launched with the prompting of The Hermitage and others.
There was potential for increased usage of the flights by Christchurch residents. "It's a difficult place to do a day trip from by car or bus . . . because of the distance . . . [also] it makes it hard for travel agents around the world to sell if it's not offered on a daily basis."

Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 7.43 million vehicles in the U.S., Japan, Europe and elsewhere around the world for a faulty power-window switch — the latest, massive quality woes for Japan's top automaker.
The recall announced Wednesday affects more than a dozen models produced from 2005 through 2010. The power-window switch on the driver's side didn't have grease applied evenly during production, causing friction in the switch and sometimes smoke, according to Toyota.
No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the defect. But more than 200 problems were reported in U.S. and a fewer number of problems were reported elsewhere, including 39 cases in Japan, Toyota spokesman Joichi Tachikawa said.
Recalled in North America are the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra, Sequoia and Scion models xB and xD, spanning 2.47 million vehicles.
Some 460,000 vehicles are being recalled in Japan. The models are the Vitz, Belta, Ractis, Ist, Auris and Corolla Lumion. The Yaris, Corolla, Auris, Camry and Rav-4 are being recalled in Europe, totaling 1.39 million vehicles.
The sprawling recall also applies to cars in Australia, China and elsewhere in Asia and the Middle East.
Toyota has been trying to fix its reputation after a series of massive recalls of 14 million vehicles over several years.
Before that, Toyota had boasted a reputation for pristine quality, centered around its super-lean production methods that empowered workers to hone in on quality control. Toyota executives have acknowledged the escalating recalls were partly caused by the company's overly ambitious growth goals.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Police have arrested 190 people in a major US crackdown on child pornography, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) say.
Federal agents said on Friday that the month-long 'Operation Orion' also resulted in identifying and rescuing 18 children.
In a statement, ICE said most of the arrests during Operation Orion through the month of May took place in the US, but suspects were also picked up in Argentina, Britain, the Philippines and Spain.
"Many of the child exploitation cases under Operation Orion began with a child or teen chatting with someone he or she met online," said ICE Director John Morton.
"Let this operation be a warning to anyone who would think they can use the Internet to exploit children: we are out there looking for you, we will find you, and you will be prosecuted."
Operation Orion targeted individuals "who possessed, received, transported, distributed, advertised or produced images or videos of child pornography," the ICE statement said.
Among those arrested was a 35-year-old individual in Louisiana suspected of using the seven-year-old he babysat to make child pornography, and a 35-year-old in Oklahoma who offered money for sex to a 14-year-old victim he met on a social networking site.
In Michigan, a 54-year-old allegedly persuaded an underage boy to join him in illegal sexual conduct that he then photographed, while a 28-year-old was found to have more than 1,200 images and 109 videos of suspected child pornography on computers and media storage devices.
No details of the arrests conducted overseas were disclosed.
ICE is part of the Department of Homeland Security, which in the fiscal year ended September 30 initiated more than 3,000 cases into child exploitation and made 1,455 arrests.
The ICE director said the arrests, and the timing, could be a good opportunity to warn children about the dangers of online predators.
"With the advent of summer vacation, children may have more time and access to the Internet, making this a good time to talk to them about online dangers," said Morton.

Hate Laws Intended to Silence Truth

In a relativism culture of social permissiveness, the non-judgmental attitude, held out as the suitable standard for conduct, has become the politically correct behavior. One might think that anything goes under this mindset. However, the exact opposite practice and enforcement, under the most rigid conditions, is championed as necessary for enlighten and tolerant liberalists. The proliferation of demands that hate speech is the new capital crime, actually is counter iterative in building a civil society. This orthodoxy of the fanatical, proudly presents this illuminated and required deportment, as obligatory for all citizens.

All the attention over the epoch vote by Crimean's to leave the Ukraine makes for a timely review of other separatist factions that are seeking a similar resolution. The List of active separatist movements in Europe is exhaustive. The immediate impression is that a pervasive discontent, shared by legions of subjects, who want independence and self-determination, will be hard to derail. When European autocratic and aristocrats ruled, the only option was revolution. Today the descendants of the old regimes still wheeled power under the guise of democratically elected authorities. However, separatist sentiment does not mean the same to every splinter group.

Few subjects present an undisputable window into modern society than the electronic version of reality that is dispensed through television broadcasts. This technology does not require interactive skills or critical thinking acumen. Just watch and fall into a daydream trance. TV is the stealth killer that penetrates 114.7 million American households. According to Nielsen, the 2012 Universe Estimate (UE), reflects a reduction in the estimated percent of U.S. homes with a television set (TV penetration), which declined to 96.7 percent from 98.9 percent. Should this turn down suggest promise or is it merely a result of internet substitution?

The myth that civil liberties are the stock and trade of organizations like the ACLU has been exposed as but a mere memory of days gone by. What "so called" progress achieved by left leaning advocates in the arena of fighting for individual liberty, is relegated to the back corners of history. The true basis for fostering a culture of respect and preservation of citizen rights always reverts to the principles founded in the law, based upon natural rights. The trap that most social advocates fall into is that their reading of history has a significant blind spot. The notion that evolving circumstances are equivalent with a shifting character of rights misses the inalienable constancy of inherent autonomy as the primary principle.

Samsung still to pay Apple $1 billion as new US trial and call for greater damages denied
Samsung will still have to pay $1.05 billion in damages to Apple as determined by the US patent-infringement trial judgement back in August last year. However, calls by the American company to have that figure tripled have been denied by Judge Judy Koh.
In addition, Samsung has been denied the chance of a new trial, even though it was found that Samsung did not wilfully infringe Apple's iPad patents. It was this finding that meant Apple could not petition for an increase in the damages awarded.
Other decisions reached during the post-trial proceedings include a rejection of Apple's claims that the original jurors were incorrect in determining that Apple's trade dress for iPad and iPad 2 - the aesthetics of the tablets - were unprotectable. The original decision stands. As does the jurors' conclusion that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 did not infringe Apple's design patent.
The judge also found that two claims of Samsung's patent covering wireless transmission over wireless systems were invalid.
At present, Samsung is yet to announce whether it plans to present any further arguments based on the fact that its patent infringements were unintentional or not. The new judgement, however, has seen a rise in its share value - it increased by 2.2 per cent in its homeland and city.

Timbuktu's manuscripts face new threattags: CNN, Africa, Mali, Timbuktu, manuscripts
(CNN) -- For the second time in five months, Timbuktu's treasured collection of ancient manuscripts is under threat.
Earlier this year, it was thought that most of the 300,000 precious documents were destroyed by Islamic fundamentalists when the northern Mali conflict entered the fabled city.
But as it turns out, only 4,000 documents were burned by the rebels. The rest were smuggled out of Timbuktu six months before the incursion by a team of local families who have long safeguarded their city's famous library, often in their own homes....

October of 2014, Jerald Goldsmith, 52 years old and a mother of seven, was found beaten to death in Masten Park. No arrest has been made but it was believed that she was a victim of domestic violence. Because of this tragedy, a lot of steps are being taken to improve the neighborhood; adding light fixtures, maintaining the cleanliness of the park, and the Ray of Light Mural. The Buffalo Arts Studio, Jerald Goldsmith's family, members of the community, and different organizations are working together to create this mural in Masten Park. They hope that it will inspire the public and act as a remembrance for victims of domestic violence.
Buffalo artist, Augustina Droze was selected to paint the mural. Her proposed design uses different colors and images to symbolize love, peace, and non-violence. In April, it was unanimously approved by the Buffalo Arts Commission.
The predicted time of the unveiling would be around this October, during the start of Domestic Violence Awareness month. If you are interested in more information or want to contribute to the project, you can visit Buffalo Arts Studio or their Facebook page.
Even if you aren't directly affected, it is important to be aware about your surroundings and what's going on with the rest of the world. Here are some national statistics we took from NCADV (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence).
- On average, about 20 people per minute are physically abused by their partner.
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men been victims of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
- On a typical day, more than 20,000 phone calls are made to domestic violence hotlines.
- 15% of violent crimes are intimate partner violence.
- Studies show a correlation between domestic violence, depression, and suicidal behavior.

Business Services and Consulting
There are several ways to define the business services and consulting industry, but they all make a clear distinction between business services (services a client cannot or does not want to perform in-house) and consulting (services that will improve a client's activities). Of course, these two different types of activities can be combined into one, depending on the client's requirements.
However, the line between the two types is sometimes blurry. For instance, a company may provide shipping logistics services for a client (or for the client's clients), in the sense that it handles the shipping of goods for the client; but it can also provide consulting services (or extend its own logistics services) to help the client improve the transportation system already in place.

Investigators explained burglaries are on the rise all over our area.
We spoke with a former police officer who became a victim after a group of several men kicked in the door at his China home and helped themselves.
Barry Blaisdell is no stranger to fighting crime.
The former police officer spent twenty years helping victims.
Just days before Christmas he found himself calling police for help.
"All kinds of things run through your mind. Is it someone you know trying to seek revenge? I know it's a random act, but it does run through your mind. Are they coming back?"
Investigators say a group of burglars broke into Blaisdell's home off Woodbury Road in China on December 10.
The break-in is one of several in the area. Investigators say this is what the burglars are doing. They pick a house, they knock, they wait for an answer. When they don't hear anything, they kick the door in.
"They're very active right now. Why I don't know, but they are being very active on these residential burglaries, particularly looking for guns. The price have guns have gone up and therefore, they can sell them at a higher rate."
The men didn't take guns from Blaisdell's house.
They took about $10 thousand in electronics. And just days before Christmas.
"Everything was under the tree. We had stuff taken, that you know, it just made Christmas hard."
A hard holiday for his kids and a shaken sense of security for Blaisdell.
"All kinds of things run through your mind so we had to take precautions and protect ourselves."
Precautions like this security camera system that caught this video of the same guys back in action.
"We got a phone call Monday that my sister-in-law, who lives next door to us, their house was burglarized also."
Crime law enforcement says is unacceptable.
"We're going to get you, there's no doubt there. It's just when the knock on the door comes."
Investigators are looking for a group of two or three white males in their 20's.
They were seen driving a blue and tan Ford Lariat with a bed cover and an older white pickup, with a green and purple wave design.
Law enforcement says this group has hit homes off Old Sour Lake Road, South China Road, and Westbury Road.
Investigators say based on the harsh 'kicking-in-the-door method' the burglars are using, they're not necessarily experienced.
They are consistent in their methods which helps law enforcement trace patterns.
Several law enforcement agencies around southeast Texas are working similar cases.
Deputies say some crimes are related and some are not. Another tactic burglars are using: They knock on a door and when someone answers, they ask for a random person. Is John here? When the homeowner says no, John does not live here, the stranger leaves. But what the person has done, according to law enforcement, is "case" the home, or made themselves familiar with their next target.

US wage growth falls to record-slow pace in 2nd quarter

Written on: 02/03/2013 by TrueStory (1 review written)
I ordered a few bike bits for overseas delivery, understanding the standard warning about Evans not being responsible for duties/taxes. My items haven't arrived, but the courier has said I can either pay them a 100% fee (i.e. taxes/duty = $30, courier wants $60) over the phone for them to attempt delivery or else they will destroy the items. In response to my email to Evans I was told that they might destroy them and then no refund will be possible. DHL is primarily to blame, but clearly it is a deal where Evans offers free/cut rate shipping because DHL gets paid by the customer in hidden fees anyway. In any case, I've opened up a dispute with PayPal, so we'll see. Needless to say - I will never order from Evans again! Prices seemed good, though. SJS cycles has been so much better, as has Rose Versand.

He just said "wow, thats some rly nice hair! And those teeth..thosee are some cool teeth"
after he fucked me and not his girlfriend, i told him to be a gentleman and close his eyes as i ran to the bathroom naked. so sweet.
His mom walked into the kitchen smiling, made a scotch on the rocks, hit my bong, and told us goodnight enthusiastically. He's suddenly more appealing to me.
At what point in my life was I not hugged enough to be on my fourth walk of shame in half as many weeks?
I can't tell if your life is amazing or needs reevaluation when "did I get hit with a nightstick" is a legitimate question.
Well as our DD it was my responsibility to get us home safely. If that meant strapping you down to the backseat using all 3 seatbelts then so be it.
I left puerto rico a week ago and my vagina still smells like coconut.
Just a heads up, i'm sleeping in te back seat of your car so don't be freaked out when you see me in the A.M.
walking back to the dorm.. she is flashing evryone, demanding beads. we tried to stop her and now she just keeps yelling "Bourbon st bitchesss"... you get her tomorrow
Scary. I thought trees were a lie and that someone ha permanently stenciled them into my life. No joke.
After he finished going down on me he came up from under the covers, threw his hands into the air and shouted "take that lesbians!" and finished with "and we have dicks!"
Just found my socks folded and in the back pocket of my jeans. Apparently drunk me refuses to lose shit after the panties incident over New Years.
I bet yours is gonna be filled with secret innuendo.
I think tonight's gonna be the night I wear a go pro while trippin on acid
I just shaved my pubes into a heart shape. if that doesn't scream romantic idk what does

Mercedes-Benz and Pebble partnership brings smartwatch features to your car
Mercedes-Benz and Pebble have announced a partnership and will be showing the sorts of features a smartwatch can bring to your car at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, due to start next week.
Mercedes-Benz says that the partnership will give them early access to the hardware and software APIs to develop integrated applications for use in-car.
The idea would be to use the Pebble smartwatch as an extension of the sort of features found in the Digital DriveStyle app for iPhone, which can alert drivers to things like hazards on the road, as well as provide other information. You'd also be able to program the Pebble buttons to carry-out various in-car features, like being able to activate Siri voice control.
READ: Pebble review
The Pebble is a great second screen companion to your smartphone and one of the features we like the most is the alerts, because the vibration is strong enough feel, but isn't intrusive or distracting. Mercedes plan to make use of this, so you can get information at a glance straight to your wrist.
This will extend outside the vehicle also, with the ability to locate your Mercedes - useful in those huge mall car parks - as well as check whether you locked it and what the fuel status is.
Mercedes-Benz is looking at car connectivity across smartphones, smartwatches and, as reported previously, Google Glass. Although the Pebble integration is being demonstrated as a concept at this stage, it is planned for these features to be offered to customers. Sadly, there's no timeline for availability as yet.
