It was only a matter of time when a full video would come out. Kudos to the crews of NY Waterways for such a speedy response (about 3 minutes after the plane came to rest on the Hudson).
Action starts 2 minutes into the video and the image is very small, but still an impressive site.
Thank the Maker that everyone is safe and once more showing the world that New York may be gruff, but they have a heart of gold when help is needed.
I just purchased my winter boots online for the first time on Zappos.com. I thought, holy crow I am paying full price for these boots, but then I saw this video about their company culture and now I know where the money is going:
Here’s what I like about it. The company may appear somewhat lackadaisical, but the customer service cannot be beat, the website for me was easy to navigate, getting a new account did not require me to jump through hoops or go through multiple pages and steps to make my purchase. I can buy shoes in 2 sizes, pick the one that fits best and send one back since there is free shipping both ways.
The company pays 100% in medical and dental benefits. You are encouraged to improve yourself. Free lunch if you want it. They do not outsource their customer service staff to India. I would gladly pay a premium for my goods just to help keep jobs in the US. Not to mention they are part of Goodshop.com, which for every purchase through the portal a portion of the sale goes to a participating non-profit of customer’s choice. I just earned about $6 for my kids school!
My boots were made in Canada, but at least it is not Chinese made.
Suggestion to Zappos: Perhaps you can include in your item description as to where a product was manufactured. Some people do actually look for USA-made goods.
They say about 75% of Zappos sales come form repeat customers. Stuffy old-school corporate boys take note!
Keep up the good work, Zappos!
Our family have become Dad Labs fans on YouTube and this week’s feature about Male Fertility had us rolling on the floor.
I have enough kids. Where can I find a sauna?
I was listening to my Christmas Album, “Bells of Dublin” by the Chieftians when I was reminded of Burgess Meredith’s spiel on the album and got me thinking about his role as Grandpa in ‘Grumpy Old Men’, one of the funniest films of all time.
I am so glad I found the bloopers that appear in the end credits of the film.
I tapped into my mailing list program on an unrelated matter when I noticed the sites ‘mascot’ had a link to the below:
Oh my! How I remember those awful leotards and tights…leg warmers…I think I’m going to get back on my Nordic Track now.
What the heck, just pull out the XC skis. There’s snow outside anyway.
Here’s a flip side to Wolverine! Gentlemen, did you know that Hugh Jackman is also a talented singer??
Parental Note: PG-13, trust me.
DadLabs ‘reeled’ in children’s music duo Trout Fishing In America to talk about the evolution of their hit song, ‘Alien In My Nose.’
I have been telling this to my family for years, that the educational system is not allowing for critical and innovative thinkers…and we are dumbing down because of it. George Carlin brings it to light in a big way.
DISCLAIMER: This is George Carlin not hosting Thomas the Tank. He uses the F-Bomb in a style that only he can do. So keep the kids out of the room or put on a pair of head sets.
I am not normally into Holiday house lights as I find them rather garish and waste our resources. But I must give kudos for this video in which the homeowner synchronized their lights to the Eagles’ “Please Come Home For Christmas”
Nice job.
