SATELLITE HUMBLE – BEYONCE’S ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA, MERCHANDISING MARKETING STRATEGIES AMP UP 2013
Beyonce Knowles is a bit of a merch marketing empire. The Houston native, NYC dwelling diva not only blogs, instagrams too, she’s also launched BeyHive. Kinda Austin Powers funny. It’s a website ”through my eyes,” the singer-dancing-athlete says. Artwork of fans is what the site features (Americans go overboard for creating pop art tributes to their most loved stars, in a way nz doesn’t yet know how to, or care to much either). Interesting ideas Beyonce is loving or being inspired by also make the site.
The singer’s fan base in New Zealand is strong. We’ll be in the mode to “stay tuned” for sure. Why we like her? Her sister is funny on twitter. I’ve been a big fan of Solange too since Sol-Angel started on social media as a pioneer of it, way back when. A beautiful creative artist with words and cultural expression in quite an understated cleva way. Non stop cleva. (more…)

KELLY CLARKSON JANUARY 10th 2013 PRESS
James Taylor, Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson will step it up to perform for The Obama family’s Inaug Day.
My favorite song of seeing Clarkson sing live is most probably when she sings Wash Rinse Repeat to her US fans. She’s funny!
Anyway, as a reminder to how understated and good she is, here’s Kelly with Behind These Hazel Eyes. The Obamas have picked singers known for their humility and sheer grit as artists, beneath the talent as entertainers of the US. Cool choices.

INDIAN DENTISTS ROCK
I got a new dentist yesterday. We talked Bollywood movies and he extracted a tooth. He moved from India to New Zealand two years ago.
The best dentist I’ve ever had.
He is loving life in New Zealand with his young family. A humble, nice guy.
(Thanks man).

HOLLYWOOD UGG BOOTS PHOTOS – HEATHER LOCKLEAR & BRITNEY SPEARS HUMOR
“Hollywood ugg boots” photos is one of the requests of the day via search engines. As is: “maori sports stars” and “bad mood in Saudi,” “beyonce sightings november 2012″ and “funny signs pics” to name a few of 5,000.
When I think of ”Hollywood ugg boots” I think of Heather Locklear or Britney Spears running their errands in uggs. It’s sorta that art of white Americana trailer trash, yet not white trash, just Hollywood. It’s always better when a Hollywood mom rocks out in Uggs. Preferably eating Mexican for a laugh or having a cigarette while she’s snapped by paparazzi in Uggs too.
The MidWest love it when that’s the look. If she’s a millionaire, even funnier. The Ugg boots pics don’t get funnier than that for her American peoples. Here’s that view. Two of them. An American artform of awesomeness.

RUGBY FOOTBALL’S RICHIE McCAW, 46th MOST VOTED STAR 2012
In a year where the top 100 trends were theme and issues ranked more so than sole individuals, rugby’s Richie McCaw checks in as the 46th most voted star of 2012.
His new book reveals one side of a gruelling career in rugby football, captaining the World Champions, The New Zealand All Blacks team.
A master strategist at what he does and the media sound bite, whether he is on or off the rugby pitch, I always see Richie as a very very talented artist. His peers say he is the best captain the All Blacks side has ever had.
Read the book. I plan to read it for summer 2013.
In a tough year of maxing chances, congratulations for making the list.

LIVING RUGBY LEGEND JONAH LOMU’S OVERWHELMING FIJI CEREMONY EXPERIENCE
“That sort of welcome still humbles me and I guess what makes it even more special is that we are in Fiji and when you are talking sevens, you can’t go past Fiji,” Lomu said.
“There are no doubts at all that Fiji is the home of sevens. When you look at who has won the World Cup sevens and also win-loss ratios, there are not many teams that come near Fiji. They lose so many players each year because they go off-shore to make a living, but they just seem to replace them without any problem.
–the living legend Jonah Lomu responds to overwhelming adulation from Fiji’s people in being welcomed to Sigatoki, Fiji as the tournament ambassador of the Coral Coast Sevens Tournament.
Rugby Sevens History a la Jonah Lomu:
“It is like a factory here turning out sevens players.”
Lomu’s plaque is the third to be laid on the Sevens Walk of Fame in Sigatoka, beside Waisale Serevi and David Campese, who was the tournament ambassador last year.
“For me, it is quite humbling to be put up with those two greats. In my first year playing sevens in Hong Kong in 1994, I went to meet Serevi in his room and couldn’t believe it.
“The previous year I was sitting in my school dormitory lounge watching him play sevens, so to get to rub shoulders with him now and call him my friend is a dream come true in a lot of ways.
“With me and Campo, we had a battle over who owns the No11, so it is a great honour and privilege to be recognised and honoured in this way.”
–To read more of Peter White‘s report in how the Rugby Sevens is close to Lomu’s heart in presenting opportunity to the world’s rugby talent pool, read on.

About The Book 2052: Forty years ago, The Limits to Growth study addressed the grand question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitations of planet Earth. It predicted that during the first half of the 21st century the ongoing growth in the human ecological footprint would stop-either through catastrophic “overshoot and collapse”-or through well-managed “peak and decline.”
So, where are we now? And what does our future look like? In the book 2052, Jorgen Randers, one of the co-authors of Limits to Growth, issues a progress report and makes a forecast for the next forty years. To do this, he asked dozens of experts to weigh in with their best predictions on how our economies, energy supplies, natural resources, climate, food, fisheries, militaries, political divisions, cities, psyches, and more will take shape in the coming decades. He then synthesized those scenarios into a global forecast of life as we will most likely know it in the years ahead.
The good news: we will see impressive advances in resource efficiency, and an increasing focus on human well-being rather than on per capita income growth. But this change might not come as we expect. Future growth in population and GDP, for instance, will be constrained in surprising ways-by rapid fertility decline as result of increased urbanization, productivity decline as a result of social unrest, and continuing poverty among the poorest 2 billion world citizens. Runaway global warming, too, is likely.
So, how do we prepare for the years ahead? With heart, fact, and wisdom, Randers guides us along a realistic path into the future and discusses what readers can do to ensure a better life for themselves and their children during the increasing turmoil of the next forty years.

SIR WILSON WHINERAY, A NEW ZEALAND GREAT, GRADUATES, AGED 77
Sir Wilson Whineray has died at aged 77. He was a proud rugby player. A captain of the New Zealand All Blacks, Sir Wilson was the first All Black to made a Knight. A practiced statesman of New Zealand in the sporting and business world, he is one of three All Black captains to die this year – Jock Hobbs and Sir Fred Allen (pictured left. Sir Wilson, right) died too.
His family’s statement said: “Our father led a rich life, filled to the brim with family, sport, business and the community. While he leaves a very big gap in our lives, we are blessed with many wonderful memories of him.
“We will always remember his energy and passion for everything he did, and we remember one of his favourite comments was that he didn’t regret a single day in his life.”
Sir Wilson played 77 matches for the All Blacks, including 32 tests, of which he was captain for 30. A Perfect Gentleman is how he was.
New Zealand Rugby Union chairman Mike Eagle said it was a sad day for the country.
“We have lost one of New Zealand’s great heroes and for the rugby community we have lost a much-loved patron and champion of rugby.
“Regarded as one of the great All Blacks legends, Sir Wilson also made significant contributions to the community through his work with sport, charities and business. 
“We extend our condolences to Lady Elisabeth and to their family as they remember a much-loved husband, a father and a grandfather,” Eagle said.
Whineray was 21 when he made his All Blacks test debut in May 1957 against Australia in Sydney.
He was quickly elevated to the All Blacks captaincy for the 1958 Series against Australia. He was just 23 and, for a long time, he was the youngest All Blacks captain.
Whineray played 77 times for the All Blacks, including 32 tests, and he captained the side 67 times – a massive number of appearances considering the All Blacks played only two or three test matches a year.
His colossal career included being named New Zealand sportsman of the year in 1965.
The following year he won a Harkness Scholarship to Harvard University where he studied for an MBA in 1967 and 1968.
He received his knighthood in 1994 when he was made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to sport and business.
In the early 1990s he was appointed the Colonel-Commandant of the New Zealand SAS Regiment – a position he held for five years, and one of which he was very proud.
[Music tribute for a Pakeha kauri tree of New Zealand, Pixie Williams vintage Kiwi classic, Blue Smoke].
Prime Minister John Key paid tribute to Whineray.
“Sir Wilson was a great All Black and may have been the greatest captain we ever had,” Mr Key said.
“His business acumen was hugely respected as well. He made his mark at APN, the NZ Wool Marketing Corporation, National Bank and Auckland International Airport, although most of us remember his time at the helm of Carter Holt Harvey.
“It is fitting that the only biography of Sir Wilson was titled ‘A Perfect Gentleman’. He was the rare breed of man whose modesty and humility gave no hint of the greatness he had achieved.
“I knew Sir Wilson and respected him immensely. This is a loss all of New Zealand will feel.”
–What a beautiful tribute from the PM. Very sad news. Waka Nathan and Sir Brian Lochore also have spoken of the loss of the famous captain and leader.
Sports author Bob Howitt said: “He is one of those special people. After you had a conversation with him, you came away glowing.
Sir Colin Mead said, “It doesn’t matter if he spoke to a dustman or The Queen, he made them all feel good.”
Bob also noted, “He was a natural leader. Leadership came naturally to him. He enjoyed it. His record as captain was great.”
“Because of his natural leadership qualities, his follow me qualities, as an ambassador really, I don’t think no one has ever come up to him. He felt like he has lived a fulfilled life. Jumping from a parachute, undertaking a glider flight and painting a good picture is what he hadn’t done that he wanted to do.”

APNZ. “A true, true captian and leader who had a huge influence on people across the board of New Zealand throughout his life story.” No reira e te rangatira o te kemu-kaha a whutupaora.

THE BREATH OF CHAMPIONS IS COURAGE IN HUMILITY’S OXYGEN – A FELIX BAUMGARTER TRIBUTE
Felix Baumgartner prepares to leap from his capsule at a height of 24 miles. It’s way more difficult, than anything I’ve done so far. No one ever sets out to be a new hero. Often they happen, quite by chance. "I always had the desire to be in the air, I climbed trees, I wanted to see the world from above." If nothing is risked, nothing is ever gained. If you ever find yourself out there, standing on top of the world, you become so humble, knowing you need the sound of reassurance to face exactly what was on the line. Time swelling, riding the wave, broke the speed of sound, while heavily involved. All go, go, go. "Well records are made to be broken," you're told when just trucking along, yet sometimes you have to go up real high to understand how small you are. (more…)
