Publication Date: 01-01-2012

The bodies of 29 men are still entombed in the collapsed Pike River mine, more than a year after the tragic explosion and fire of 19 Novem­ber 2010. What do their deaths mean for workplace health and safety? Is there a future for coalmining in this era of climate change? How has the Coast changed from the centre of radicalism it represented in the early 20th century? What is the way forward for a region that has felt betrayed by a succession of political decisions and developments over several decades? Playwright and film director Paul Maunder lives in Blackball, and was one of the first emergency respondents to Pike River, within minutes of the first explosion. He kept a diary, and has since been talking to locals and reflect­ing on the big issues at stake.

Great bbq tool
Works really well. Used it while smoking a brisket. Loved that I didn’t need to keep checking its progress. The app let me know when it reached correct temp

I have been using these since 2023.
Style: Standard, Color: Beige
I have had 5 pairs of these. They are the best ear buds I’ve tried. They outlasted my expensive Beats Pro which are exactly alike but $150. The battery life on them is much better. The sound quality is comparable. I use them for calls at home and work, audiobooks and music when I’m doing things at home. Range is decent enough. Super easy to pair, though they don’t come with instructions. You can find them online though. The only issue I’ve ever had was with one pair I opened, there was only one ear bud inside. I had bought them on sale months prior so I couldn’t return them. The only reason I have so many pairs is because I keep one pair in my work bag and one I use at home, and I have lost a couple of them so had to replace. They last forever. The original ones I bought in 2023 still work great! I lost one at the nail salon, but the other I still have and will occasionally wear it at home while cleaning, and still works like new. They stay on and don’t hurt my ears. I’ve recommend them to many people. I try to get them when they are on sale, and then it’s a great value for the price. I just bought another pair as a backup to store away, and notice they are $2 more than the sale price I usually get. Still worth it. Get them!

Super comfortable
Style: Standard, Color: Black
This is actually my second pair of these PocBuds, and that alone should say a lot. The comfort is outstanding. The earhook design makes a huge difference—they stay in place no matter what I’m doing, whether I’m working, walking, or moving around a lot. I can wear these for long periods without any discomfort, which hasn’t been my experience with most earbuds. Battery life is another big win. The charging case and battery performance are fantastic. I don’t feel like I’m constantly worrying about charging them, and the digital display is a really nice touch so you always know where you stand. The wireless charging just makes it even more convenient. Sound quality is solid too, with good bass and clear audio for music, videos, and calls. They’ve been reliable across everything I’ve used them for—phone, laptop, and even TV. Overall, these have been a great value and very dependable. The fact that I came back and bought a second pair says everything. Highly recommended.
