Brilliant Buttons! 1980's EXPRESS Traction Lift/Elevator @ Olympic House, Wellington, NZ
Brilliant Buttons! This is the very nice 1980's EXPRESS Traction Lift/Elevator at Olympic House in Wellington, New Zealand. I love these Express stainless steel buttons - they are really nice to press. This lift is fast for the amount of floors it serves (2 m/s) and has the really nice Express bell. ECC lifts and escalators are a company who make Lift buttons and phones - They probably engraved their name on the COP when they installed the phone.

8 Persons Or 420kg!? Very Nice EXPRESS Traction Lift/Elevator @ Premier Buildings, Auckland, NZ
8 Persons Or 420kg!? This is the very nice Express traction Lift/Elevator at Premier Buildings in Auckland, New Zealand. Notice how the capacity is 8 persons or 420kg! - This would mean each person would have to be 52.5kg which is a lot lower than the average of 80kg! - It would be very unlikely for the lift to have a full load as the building is not very busy! Pretty sure this is a first generation Express lift! Schindler do the maintenance. I think the buttons light up but the bulbs have gone!

AMAZING VINTAGE EXPRESS!!!!!! Willis Street, Wellington CBD.
This my third gated lift, but is my First Express one. The interior has been carpeted over, and possibly new tiles on the floor too, but at least the orginal buttons are there.

Touch Sensitive Buttons! OTIS Lexan Traction Lift/Elevator @ Dunedin Library, Dunedin, NZ
Touch Sensitive Buttons! This is the OTIS Lexan Traction Lift/Elevator at Dunedin Library in Dunedin, New Zealand. I was definitely not expecting to find a touch sensitive Lexan in a library! This lift is really fast for the amount of floors it serves and I am amazed that this is still original! I found some even more exciting touch sensitive Lexan's in Dunedin but they were in the process of being modernised (one was still original!). This lift serves the basement but it is not shown on the buttons or indicator (can only be called from the basement).

Odd Indicator Placement! Express Traction Lift/Elevator (Mod. Schindler) @ 82 Willis, Wellington, NZ
Odd Indicator Placement! This is the Express Traction Lift/Elevator (Mod. Schindler) at 82 Willis Street in Wellington, New Zealand. This is quite a nice lift. It has some pretty major pre-doors which is very nice. The indicator placement on the ground floor is very strange. The person at the start of the video thought I was literally filming a video of the outside of the lift and asked if they could press the button, Lol! The COP is very tall and thin - Something you don't see too often.

Exciting ENOR Elevator! 1998 ENOR Traction Lift/Elevator @ Interislander Ferry Aratere, NZ
Exciting ENOR Elevator! This is the 1998 ENOR Traction Lift/Elevator aboard the Interislander Ferry Aratere in New Zealand. This is actually a rather interesting lift. The lighting has a blue tinge to it. The 2 speed centre open doors are also quite rare to find on a lift this small. I filmed this during the middle of the sailing to avoid crowds. I didn't go all the way down as passengers are not supposed to be in the lift or stair area during sailing. There is also another ENOR lift on this boat as well as a swing door service lift! Unfortunately I couldn't ride the service lift as it was a dumbwaiter and needed a key to operate.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
