Freakin' amazing considering the prices NZers pay for power.
I know more folk turning off their stuff and no longer using the little luxuries like underfloor heating, etc.
I guess some experts might comment on what this PR from MRP pending float really means. Smoke or mirrors?
State-owned electricity generator and retailer Mighty River Power says it experienced 12 percent growth in sales in the three months to December 31 as residential and commercial consumers used more energy and the company gained new customers.
The majority of the gain came from a 22 percent increase in volumes to business customers, compared to the December 2011 quarter, potentially indicating an uptick in economic activity in Auckland, where MRP is strongest and its Mercury Energy brand is based.
MRP also showed customer growth in the North and South Islands, with 391,000 customers in the north, compared with 383,000 a year earlier, and 43,000 southern customers, up from 37,000 in December 2011.
The company's combination of hydro-electric dams on the Waikato River and an increased portfolio of geothermal generation plant saw MRP increase its total electricity production 6 percent in the quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier.
Average wholesale electricity market prices fell over the quarter, thanks to plentiful rainfall in hydro catchments and improved transmission on the national grid in the upper North Island after upgrades.
However, MRP's "flexible generation portfolio allowed the company to outperform the market, achieving an average generation price of $66.25 per Megawatt hour", chief executive Doug Heffernan says in a statement.
MRP is the first candidate for partial privatisation, with the government proposing to sell up to 49 percent of the company in a float before the end of June, assuming challenges to its decisions by the Maori Council are unsuccessful in a Supreme Court challenge to be heard later this week.

What is Vine?
Vine is a video sharing application. Be that as it may, its one heck of a feature sharing application. It's outlined in a manner for you to film short, separate occurrences so they can be connected together for a sum of six seconds.
Every short feature plays in a consistent circle, and are visible straightforwardly in Twitter's course of events or implanted into a site page. Also visit Twisted-Vine or YouTube to buy Vine followers, Vine likes, comments and revines if you need them. How to buy followers on Vine?
How the Vine App Works
As a matter of first importance, you have to have a good cell phone to download the Vine application. Vine is possessed by Twitter, and the an application for iOS gadgets and Android gadgets.
The look and feel of the application is like Instagram, demonstrating to you a scrollable food of every one of your companions' Vines on the home screen. You additionally have your own profile page, which you can alter later subsequent to joining. Vine takes the vast majority of your data from Twitter, including name, photograph, bio and exchanges it to your new Vine account when you sign up.
Making Your First Vine
When you're prepared to make your first Vine to get more followers on Vine, the application will walk you through all the strides. The thought is to film short, separate examples for an entire six-second feature. As you begin with taping, the application will request that you hold your finger down on the screen for around 1 to 2 seconds. After that, it will request that you film two more times. Vine then puts each of the three of those two-second shots together to make your first Vine.
You can try different things with Vine, holding and lifting your finger to film the same number of times as you need up to an aggregate of six seconds. It's sort of a slick approach to demonstrate a quick time lapse feature through loads of short film spurts. Looking through a portion of the prevalent Vines can give you incredible thoughts for making more Vines additionally fascinating.
Interacting on Vine
Since its still new, Vine does not have a considerable measure of elements that different applications have, yet at the same time offers the nuts and bolts to make it a versatile informal organization.
There's an Explore tab, which gives you a rundown of channel classifications to look at. You can skim through the "Manager's Picks" and the "Mainstream Now" segment to help you rapidly discover a percentage of the best Vines, or you can tap any of the channel symbols beneath to search for particular Vines.
The Activity tab shows who tails you, who remarks on your Vines, and who presses the smiley face "like" catch on any of them. Each Vine has a possibility for you to like and leave remarks, verging on indistinguishable to Instagram.
Is It Worth Using?
There are a million other informal organizations out there. Not all are justified regardless of your time. There are, lamentably, truly a couple of drawbacks to utilizing Vine. Vine can't get to your Facebook companions, so it can't consequently unite you to those in your Facebook system who are as of now on Vine.
There's likewise no real way to take feature from your camera move and transfer it at a later time to Vine. Vine pages don't have a social sharing catches, and there's no real way to share specifically to other mainstream informal communities – like Tumblr.
The elements and usefulness that it needs will most likely be worked into the application at some point later on, and we'll redesign this article when that happens. In case you're on Twitter, Vine is a truly slick device to utilize, in light of the fact that Vine's Twitter card mix make it resemble a vivified picture or GIF right in your Twitter stream.

The government says it will fully comply with the UN demands, and go them one better by banning all diamond exports. This could have serious economic implications, as the national budget is only some $100 million a year and the diamond trade is estimated at anywhere from $25 million to over $100 million a year.

Gas prices in Oregon are up three cents over the last week to $3 dollars a gallon. Triple-A's Marie Dodds says diesel prices are also up. High crude oil prices caused the price of gas to rise. Crude prices have since declined which should keep gas prices from rising much more. Hawaii still has the most expensive gas at $3.52 a gallon. The average here in Bend is about $2.97.

AUSTIN (AP) – The Texas Department of Public Safety has joined a three-day nationwide safety effort called Roadcheck targeting commercial vehicles and drivers.
Texas troopers on Tuesday began their upgraded enforcement by watching for 18-wheelers and buses with serious equipment violations. DPS will also be on the lookout for aggressive passenger vehicle drivers — the cause of most commercial vehicle crashes.
Last year's Roadcheck operation in Texas led to the inspection of more than 9,200 commercial vehicles by troopers and other law enforcement personnel.
DPS says about 21 percent of those vehicles had serious violations that required the truck or bus be taken out of service for repairs. Inspectors also removed 248 drivers for violations including not having the proper license for the vehicle being operated.

'Asia Prince' Jang Keun Suk Donates 7.1 Tons of Rice
By Staff Writer | August 11, 2012 03:45 PM EDT
'Asia's Prince' and Hallyu Star Jang Keun Suk donated 7.1 tons of rice for the underprivileged of Gangnam.
Gangnamgu released an official statement on Tuesday that Jang Keun Suk's donation was able to give a free meal to 58,900 hard-to-do citizens.
The 7.1 tons were donated by fans a little by little for his recent drama, "Love Rain." The rice will be given to poverished children, elders who live alone and the disabled and given to an organization called "Moving Food Market" who goes to these small populations and ensures that they are fed.
Gangnamgu is the district with the 8th highest number of poverished people but it's known to be a rich neighborhood and the poor in Gangnamgu received even less attention. Jang Keun Suk, after deciding to donate the rice, said, "I always thank my fans for their love and support. I'm only giving back what I was able to receive and that's where the idea for this donation came about. I want to continue to share and give."
He also donated 10,000,000 Won to support an orphanage in Gangnam, who were unable to pay for the change from oil boilers to gas boilers, so that they can all have a warm winter.
A source from Gangnamgu said, "We thank Jang Keun Suk and his fans for giving to the citizens of Gangnamgu who are suffering. We hope that this kind of charity and giving spirit will continue to spread to all of Seoul."

In today's world, it's all about transforming your brick-and-mortar business into a destination – a place where customers are excited to visit. Quality customer service, extensive product/service knowledge, and your storefront's overall vibe are important pieces of the puzzle. But the digital world we live in today demands a positive online experience as well, with positive interactions and quality content that share your brand story.
By their very nature, websites for brick-and-mortar businesses attract people in every stage of the buying cycle: while many people find your business on the Web and then visit your store, other users might see traditional ads for your business (such as billboards, radio ads, print ads, or even just word of mouth), and this may cause them to seek your business online. Or users may be return customers checking back on a particular product or service after visiting your establishment. There are a lot of SEO and social tactics that can increase your site traffic, but for brick-and-mortar business, that's only half the battle.
Regardless of how or why users are on your site, the objective for a brick-and-mortar business should always be to convert users into customers. But how do you turn website traffic into brick-and-mortar traffic, and vice versa? We give our top six tips below.

Microsoft re-releases YouTube app for WP8, now with Google's blessing
In May, Google wanted Microsoft to remove its redesigned YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 because it didn't include ads, gave users the ability to download videos, and more. Microsoft obliged by pulling the app, giving the two companies the summer to bake a new app up that follows the "rules".
Tuesday evening we now have the results, as the updated YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 is now available from the Windows Phone store. Gone is the ability to download videos, and you bet there are plenty of advertisements now playing, in typical YouTube fashion. New to the app, however, is the ability to stream video live from YouTube channels and there are now big changes to the way videos are uploaded.
Furthermore, users can pin videos, playlists, channels and search queries to the Start screen as Live Tiles, taking advantage of Windows Phone 8's feature. YouTube profiles, playlists, uploads, and video lists can be managed, and you can share videos to social networks, e-mail, and text messages. Lastly, the app takes advantage of Windows Phone 8's Kids Corner, letting them keep their own profile and keeping them on a safe path.
"We've released an updated YouTube app for Windows Phone that provides the great experience our consumers expect while addressing the concerns Google expressed in May, including the addition of ads," said a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement. "We appreciate Google's support in ensuring that Windows Phones customers have a quality YouTube experience and look forward to continuing the collaboration."

Thank you for your quick reply. I'm sorry, I'm a little confused by your answer about the garnishment....May have been related to someone else? The bank at the time has changed over a couple of times since the garnishment so there doesn't seem to be any information.

What the analysts say: Nestle H1 cheers market
Shares in Nestle closed up today (7 August) after the world's largest food maker reported underlying sales that beat analyst expectations. Nestle's stock would have been helped by news of a share buyback but analysts were broadly positive about the company's performance.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 7063795:MV8xNzU2MTUzXzI5MTM3OTE2XzkzOEQzNDEw] [quote:RWH 1335566:MV8xNzU2MTUzXzI5MTM3NjgzXzM5NzkzQ0VC] To the OP I will give the little time I have left to try to explain something to him, and I hope he listens because this wisdom I am about to share is invaluable in understanding that wealth does not correlate with worthiness. . [b]We live in what is called a capitalist system, and a capitalist system is like crap in toilet, shit always floats to the top. The best way to characterize capitalism honestly is the most ruthless and dishonest occupy the positions of power and wealth, acquiring them through conspiring with others of a similar mindset sometimes sharing a certain ethnic backgammon I won't get into here, and to put it bluntly, by stealing from the least intelligent and least able to understand concepts like interest and the fact that the harder one works does not at all correlate with success, in fact it usually equals living in poverty. Don't misunderstand me, Capitalism DOES NOT reward the most intelligent or the most honest ,and certainly not the most worthy, it rewards the devious and those willing to sell their their mother for a few bucks. The most intelligent are usually burdened with a conscious, and thought there have been notable exceptions, the really horrible people in history have been of moderate intelligence and no moral boundaries. It might come as a surprise to you, but there are more well above average intelligence people pushing shopping carts and living on the streets than there are in investment banking by a very wide margin. This is simply because very often the intelligent are intentionally sabotaged in life by people who are their superiors like teachers and work supervisors. Sooner or later the individual becomes disillusioned, like you are now, and gives up on themselves. As a personal example an oilfield repair shop manager with no formal education past the 8th grade developed an unexplained dislike for me. Eventually he had me fired by blaming a stupid redneck mistake he had made on me. There is no doubt in my mind his problems with me were simply because he recognized I was more intelligent than he was and far more qualified for his job than he was because I was college educated and had an background in engineering. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM, AND A PRIMARY REASON WHY IT IS A FAILING SYSTEM! A truly successful economic and social system must reward people according to their physical effort and the ingenuity, not their dishonesty and lack of moral restraint. Do not feel like a failure because you don't have things or like people, the vast majority of people these days are better off avoided and most aren't worth a .223 cartridge to shoot and shovel in a shallow hole. I'll tell you another little gem of wisdom, i never met a wealthy person who was truly happy and I have met many, but I have met people as poor as a church mouse who were content and always happy. You will find the most corrupt, dishonest and ruthless people have the most power and wealth, whereas the most honest who would give their own life to save that of a child they didn't even know don't have two dimes to rub together. It is a rare occurrence indeed to meet a wealthy person of good moral character, in fact in 50 years of life I have yet to. However, i have met many people who have accumulated a home they actually own and comfortable living through hard work, but this usually doesn't occur until much later in life, and it seems as soon as they get to this point they get sick or run into some bad luck and lose everything, dying penniless. [/quote] You described me in this essay. I have so much moral restraint and admittingly above average intelligence that both or either or has restrained me numerous times in life. Been depressed thru out cause I know how this system works and I've been envious that Im not more numb to the feelings of others, and therefore able to take advantage of them. Im too empathetic and couldn't do that. Im almost hoping for a maniacal Anti Christ figure, more devious then all the trickers put together. He will lure all the unworthy high and mighty in and pull a Samson on them. Collapse all of the worlds money, unethical corporations (there are a few good ones amongst the wolves), nations and religions into a smoldering heap and dance on it like Shiva. Been wondering if it will take fire to fight fire. [/quote]

More snow as winter misery continues

Linesmen, sewerage workers and arborists are working in extreme conditions to restore and retain basic services in storm-affected areas.
They were responding to the trail of debris left by the large storm system lingering over the country after tearing its way north on Thursday and Friday, causing great damage across the South Island and in the Wellington region.
In Christchurch, persistent heavy rains have flooded the city's sewer system with a city council spokeswoman commenting it's ''chocker''. The flooding was causing some overflows.
There was also surface flooding in some parts of the city, particularly around the Heathcote River in the Beckenham and lower Cashmere areas. Some nearby roads were closed.
The Christchurch City Council said king tides were expected from tomorrow through to Thursday and were likely to cause further flooding around the lower Avon and Heathcote rivers.
In Wellington, heavy rain continued to fall this afternoon causing a stream of calls to the city council from residents regarding flooded drains.
Spokesman Richard MacLean said the council was advising residents to attempt to clear the drain blockages themselves where safe.
About 1500 Wellington residents remained without power this afternoon after it initially went out in the overnight Thursday storm that barrelled the city with wind gusts of up to 200kmh.
Wellington Electricity was optimistic most of these households would have power restored by tonight.
Meanwhile, arborists and other council staff were clearing the trail of debris left by the storm. More than 500 trees had been reported down with 50 council staff working 24 hours to clear the priorities.
Also battered in the storm was the Marlborough region where many roads remained only passable by 4WD.
Power was also out for many in rural areas, but Marlborough Lines operations manger Brian Tapp said about 120 customers from Kekerengu to Clarence had had their electricity restored today.
''We have 40 staff out working on high voltage lines first and then moving onto low voltage lines,'' said Tapp.
''We are working as quickly as we can but the main emphasis is on working safely and making things safe first.''
Tapp could not guarantee that every customer would have their power restored to all by the end of the weekend.
South of Christchurch in Leeston, firefighters were this morning rushing to stack sandbags at flood-prone properties as rising water levels started to threaten homes and businesses.
Ongoing flooding had been affecting the Selwyn township since heavy rain started falling last weekend with about 170mm of rain drenching the area over the last 10 days, Leeston fire chief Noel Thian said.
Leeston's volunteer firefighters received about 14 calls for help from flood-prone property owners this morning.
Thian said the calls started coming through at about 8am and he expected to be kept busy through most of the day as the rain continued to fall.
The main problem was a creek running through the centre of the town, which had burst its banks and caused flooding on High St and around the fire station itself on Gallipoli St.
"It hasn't gone into any buildings, but there's not a lot we can do. We can't pump because we've got nowhere to pump it to."
Thian advised residents to watch their sewer systems and household water supplies.
"The sewer is inundated with water at the moment," he said.
Rain was also affecting the upper half of the North Island with showery conditions expected all weekend.
"Both today and tomorrow, it's going to continue to be showery. Not particularly heavy showers, just passing showers," said Brooke Lockheart, Metservice forecaster.
Temperatures from Auckland to the top of the North Island would reach highs of 14C and lows 5C.
"So it's still pretty chilly, we've also got fresh south-westerly winds passing through," said Lockheart.
Overnight in the North Canterbury district of Hurunui heavy snowfalls brought down power lines and trees, cutting water supplies to one rural area.
The overnight storm also brought driving wind and rain to coastal and southern areas with strong gales bringing down power lines and dozens of trees between Cheviot and Amberley.
MetService was expecting snow to continue to fall in high areas issuing snowfall warnings for inland parts of Canterbury and southern Marlborough where further significant accumulations were expected above about 300 metres.
For the central North Island, further snow was expected above 700m on the central plateau, but the heaviest falls and largest accumulations today were restricted to the Ruahine Range, where heavy snow was forecast above 800m with lesser falls to near 500m.
"These further snowfalls will prolong disruption to travellers, especially about higher roads and alpine passes in both Islands," MetService said.
"Snow lying in rural areas is likely to take several days to melt."
In the deep south MetService said a few light snow showers were still possible to low levels in parts of Otago and Southland, but were forecast to clear later today. The threat of further significant snow accumulations had passed.
MetService was expecting the polar blast to ease nationwide over the course of the weekend.
The freezing winter storm has brought a bumper start to the season for The Remarkables ski area, but at Mt Hutt so much snow has fallen that access to the skifield is blocked.
The Remarkables was opening the season today with some of the best snow conditions seen in years, with the entire mountain open, nzski.com said.
Overnight another 4cm of dry powder snow fell, adding to an average base of 90cm.
In contrast, Mt Hutt was closed as further heavy snowfalls and low visibility hampered snow clearing on the access road, nzski.com said.
An estimated 1.8 metres of snow had fallen since the storm started, with drifts more than 3m deep in many areas. All lifts were heavily caked in ice.
Air New Zealand is running extra services into Wellington today to cater for passengers whose flights were disrupted by the severe weather of the past two days.
Weather was still causing a problem for Queenstown airport late morning, and flights between Queenstown and Christchurch and Wellington were being cancelled, the airline said.
All domestic jet flights were operating, but there were late running services throughout the network. The vast majority of regional services provided by Air New Zealand Link were also operating.
On the Desert Rd snow showers were still possible about and south of the summit today, although most were expected this evening and overnight before clearing. Another 5cm to 10cm should accumulate above 800m, MetService said.
The Desert Rd was reopened to traffic this morning, but the NZ Transport Agency was urging drivers to take extra care.
In the South Island MetService has forecast further snow for the Lewis Pass with 5cm to 10cm falling throughout today. It should clear overnight.
For Porters Pass another 10-15cm was expected on higher parts of the road today, with the weather clearing late tonight.
Only a few more snow flurries were expected for Lindis Pass this morning, while for Arthurs Pass a few light snow showers were possible until noon or early afternoon.
In the South Island, sections of highway closed by snow included Arthurs Pass, Lindis Pass, Burkes Pass.
Snow, sleet and heavy rain caused havoc across rural Canterbury yesterday, flooding farms and bringing down trees.
Tai Tapu farm owner Andrew Florance said two-thirds of his 120-hectare farm was under water by midday yesterday, thanks to heavy rain and an outdated drainage system.
"Depending on what happens now we will be wet until the end of August," he said.
His 180 cows were being mainly kept on 40 acres of hill country to keep them as dry as possible.
Only some of the feed they put on the ground was able to be eaten as it was either trampled by the animals, or sunk into the ground.
Federated Farmers Mid-Canterbury president Chris Allen also had a flooded farm.
Like other farmers he was feeding up to double what he usually would since the stock were burning a lot of energy to keep warm.
"You might have had a reasonable amount of feed but they are not getting enough in their stomachs because the ground is just so sodden."
Allen said all farmers could do was feed out as much as possible and move stock to more sheltered areas.
"The concern is how long will it go on for."
The wild weather has seen insurance companies flooded with hundreds of claims and calls for assistance.
Insurers AMI and State said most claims in Wellington after Thursday night's storm were for wind, tree and water damage to houses, roofing and fences.
Craig Dowling, spokesman for the two companies, said they were also receiving claims for damage to outdoor items such as garden furniture and trampolines. Both expect the number of claims to rise over the next three or four days.
AA Insurance spokeswoman Amelia Macandrew said the company received more than 160 claims from Wellington customers yesterday and was expecting more as residents felt safe enough to leave their homes and assess the damage.
"We've had about 10 claims involving trampolines. Either people losing their trampolines into the neighbour's backyard or people getting the neighbour's trampoline in their backyard."
The Wellington region was also dominating claims to insurance company Tower after all the snow, wind and rain that battered the country in the past week.
Spokeswoman Tracey Palmer said the company had received about 150 weather-related claims.
"Claims ranged from roofs being blown off homes, to trees on rooftops, damage to fences and flooded carpets," she said.
Dowling said most claims from South Island customers had been for flooding, roof leaks, wind damage and some snow damage around spouting and roofing.
Terry Jordan, operations manager for the Insurance Council of New Zealand, said companies across the board had experienced large spikes in claims, but it would be a few days before the full financial impact of the storm was known.
Thursday's storm could potentially be the biggest weather event, insurance-wise, in the lower North Island since floods devastated the region in 2004, he said.

May 31, 2016 - I have been wanting these for years. i am handicapped and do not get out much. When I saw them on sale here I made sure to buy them (set/2). Now I feel better knowing that someone will look for my pet should there be an emergency at our home. Praise God and thank you for making them available to me.
May 2, 2016 - very useful item,although I hope I never need it. Have 4 cats which I would want rescued if need be...
February 18, 2016 - do not make a mistake - hard to clean
February 4, 2016 - Great size!
December 22, 2015 - Gave this a 4 star because I was NOT able to get the "cling" off the paper. So, I just taped the whole thing to the window - one on the front of the house, one on the patio door at the rear of the house. Hopefully will never need, but I feel Muffin is safer with these on the window - just in case!

This Smiths Food & Drug Centers location is usually pretty busy, but the employees are friendly and efficient, and will quickly help you find items
