Creo Reports Sales Increase of 10% in 2004
Thursday, November 18, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyVANCOUVER, British Columbia--Nov. 17, 2004-- Creo Inc. today announced its financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended September 30, 2004, reported in U.S. dollars. Revenue in fiscal 2004 was $635.8 million, an increase of 10.0 percent from fiscal 2003, in line with company guidance. Earnings were $11.5 million for the year, up from $5.5 million in fiscal 2003. Earnings were 21 cents per diluted share for fiscal 2004, compared to 11 cents of earnings per diluted share in the previous year. Earnings in fiscal 2004 included approximately 14 cents per diluted share of restructuring and severance expense and accelerated depreciation related to cost reduction activities, a non-cash intangible asset amortization charge of approximately 5 cents per diluted share, and a one-time gain of approximately 16 cents per diluted share from the sale of an investment. Fourth quarter revenue was $167.1 million, an increase of 11.2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2003. The company reported a loss of $1.3 million for the quarter, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to earnings of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. The loss per share was 2 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to earnings of 5 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter of last year. The loss this quarter included previously announced items of approximately 4 cents per share of restructuring, 3 cents of severance expense and accelerated depreciation, and 1 cent of non-cash intangible asset amortization. Consumables revenue reached $24.3 million this quarter, an increase of 105.2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of last year and a 12.6 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2004. For the year, consumables revenue grew by 62.3 percent to $76.8 million compared to fiscal 2003. "Creo's performance in fiscal 2004 establishes a strong foundation for growth in earnings and shareholder value," said Amos Michelson, chief executive officer of Creo. "We doubled earnings and demonstrated tremendous growth in our first year as a digital plate vendor, exceeding our goal to increase consumables revenue by 50 percent. We also achieved our goal of 10 percent total revenue growth. All economic segments showed revenue gains over the prior year - with the most significant improvements in Asia-Pacific and in our OEM business. However, the strength of the Canadian dollar and cost of entering the digital plate business, together with pricing pressure in the computer-to-plate (CTP) market-reduced gross margins in the latter half of the year. In light of these factors, we announced a broad-based cost-reduction program on October 6. We are now implementing this program which we expect to produce annualized savings of $24 million by the third quarter of 2005. These measures, together with the continuing operational improvement in our plate business, will help offset gross margin pressures and drive increased earnings through fiscal 2005." Mr. Michelson continued, "We are confident that the steps we are taking to streamline our operations and strengthen our competitive cost position will provide a strong platform to deliver another strong year of earnings and revenue growth. The successful execution of our digital media strategy will continue to be our primary focus in the year ahead. Existing and future Creo customers look to Creo for innovative solutions, including consumables. We have been ramping up plate production through the year, and we expect orders from our customers will exceed our existing plate capacity within our forecast horizon. In October we announced plans to double production capacity at our West Virginia plant by the end of calendar 2005. We have also negotiated the purchase of land in Germany to begin construction of a European plate facility that we expect to begin production in late 2006 and will ultimately provide an additional 20 million m2 (215 million ft2) of annual plate-production capacity. Other priorities for 2005 include a focused and continued attention to managing costs while balancing mid and short-term objectives, increasing sales efficiency of both direct and indirect channels, and positioning Creo to take advantage of the growth opportunities in digital printing." Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2004 was 40.7 percent, compared to 44.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2003. The cost of ramping up Creo's plate business to meet customer demand for digital plates, changes in product mix, and pricing pressures on CTP systems reduced gross margin in the second half of fiscal 2004. Gross margin in fiscal 2004 was 42.4 percent compared to 44.6 percent in fiscal 2003. Severance costs of $0.5 million were included in cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $1.0 million were included in fiscal 2004. Total operating expenses were $69.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, including the previously announced expenses of $2.6 million for restructuring and $1.8 million for severances and accelerated depreciation. Total operating expenses in this quarter increased 10.5 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2003 but were substantially unchanged excluding other expense, restructuring and severance costs, accelerated depreciation, intangible asset amortization and the impact of foreign currency. Total operating expenses in fiscal 2004 of $266.3 million, including the previously announced expenses of $4.3 million for restructuring and $3.9 million for severances and accelerated depreciation, increased by 7.5 percent compared to fiscal 2003. Before the impact of foreign currency, intangible asset amortization, severance and restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation, and financial and other income, total operating expenses in fiscal 2004 decreased approximately 3.2 percent compared to fiscal 2003. Cash flow from operations was $4.6 million, reflecting year-end inflows from certain accounts and trade payables and accruals related to the restructuring activities. Cash on hand at quarter end was $82.6 million compared to $59.0 million at the same quarter end last year. Weighted shares outstanding were 55,121,336 for the fourth quarter of 2004 and weighted shares outstanding (diluted) were 53,573,425 for fiscal 2004. Fiscal 2004 Highlights Creo entered the plate market in September 2003 and has grown to be the fourth largest digital plate vendor in the world in just one year. In fiscal 2004, the company acquired two plate-manufacturing facilities - one in South Africa and the other in West Virginia - for an aggregate acquisition cost of $26.7 million, net of working capital. Creo-branded plates are now in use in commercial, newspaper and packaging printing in nearly every region of the globe, with approximately eight percent of existing Creo customers - and approximately one-third of new customers - using Creo plates. Creo signed an agreement with Xerox Corporation to resell mid-range and entry-level production color digital presses in Canada and the United States in January 2004. Together with Xerox, the company also introduced the industry's first fully integrated production workflow for digital and commercial printing. Creo raised net proceeds of $48.4 million in an offering of 5 million Creo common shares in March 2004. Proceeds from this offering will support the capital expenditure requirements over the next two years for the capacity expansion in the West Virginia plate manufacturing plant and construction of a new plate-manufacturing facility in Germany. In May, Creo exhibited at Drupa 2004, the largest trade show in the graphic arts industry. Creo demonstrated a full range of complete prepress solutions for packaging, newspaper and commercial printers. Important new products launched at Drupa included Brisque 5.0 and Prinergy Evo as well as the Magnus(TM) VLF, the most productive very-large-format computer-to-plate device available today In July, Creo's Board established a Special Committee of independent directors charged with evaluating and assessing Creo's current business plan and considering a full range of strategic options with the objective of enhancing shareholder value. Creo's Board anticipates that the evaluation process will be completed during January 2005. At the Graph Expo trade show in Chicago, subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, Creo demonstrated a formidable array of new workflow products, including Prinergy 3.0 and Synapse Director. Outlook Mark Dance, chief financial officer and chief operating officer of Creo, stated, "We expect to see another year of strong growth, and are expecting 10 percent growth of overall revenue in 2005 and a second year of 50 percent plus growth in consumables revenue. We achieved our revenue and earnings targets in the fourth quarter of 2004 and we expect stable revenues and earnings, before restructuring and intangible asset amortization, in the first quarter of 2005. We will begin to see the impact of the cost-reduction initiative announced on October 6 reflected in increased gross margins and reduced operating expenses in the fiscal second quarter, with the full impact of the $24 million of annualized savings apparent in the third quarter. We are committed to achieving our target of eight percent earnings before tax in the fourth quarter of 2005." The company provided the following outlook for the fiscal first quarter ending December 31, 2004: Revenue between $165 million and $170 million; Earnings per diluted share between 0 and 4 cents per share, after approximately 2 cents per diluted share in restructuring costs to be paid in the first quarter of 2005 to complete the North American consolidation program and 1 cent per diluted share of intangible asset amortization. The guidance is based on foreign exchange rates on November 8, 2004 and weighted shares outstanding (diluted) of approximately 56,000,000.

We welcomed Dr. Rachel Armstrong to the program to discuss the Icarus Interstellar Project Persephone-Living Architectures. During the first segment of our 1 hour 37 minute discussion, Dr. Armstrong provided us with a bit of her personal history and background leading up to her interest in space and living architectures. As you will hear, her medical experience and perspectives were critical to her connecting the body in a relationship with technology. As our guest began introducing us to Project Persephone, Dr. Armstrong talked about the need to move from an industrial type society and economy to an ecological based system which she fully described throughout both segments of our discussion. She talked about new ways of understanding and working with matter and microbes leading to new world views, new types of structures, and to space habitats that will evolve based on the needs of the crew. During our discussion, Dr. Armstrong mentioned many of the leaders in applicable and related fields, their projects, and their papers so I suggest you have pen & paper handy to jot them down for your own research benefits. Dr. Armstrong, in talking about living architectures, made the point many times over that we should start thinking in broader ways about the materials we use. Don't miss her explanation & discussion of this & other important concepts. I also suggest you read "Designing a Sustainable Interstellar Worldship" written by our guest (http://news.discovery.com/space/private-spaceflight/project-persephone-icarus-interstellar-100yss-120920.htm). We talked about today's closed and open loop life support systems and how the future will be built upon the shoulders of today's engineers and designers. Dr. Armstrong introduced us to non-human matter in this segment, but we continued talking about it in our last segment as well. Complexity was discussed, then listener Jack asked by email for our guest to describe the future starship with an evolvable environment.
In our second segment, B John asked if we should skip HSF to the Moon and Mars as distractions, instead focusing on habitable orbiting space stations and growing them into world ships. Don't miss her answer. Rachel talked at length in both segments about the manifesto and its purpose and place in ecological starship design. Our guest also pointed out potential conflicts with solar system exploration and the Outer Space Treaty. Heather asked Rachel if she would produce a reading and reference list given all the citations and references she offered us in our discussion. While that might be forthcoming, do visit Rachel's related website, http://www.blackskythinking.org. B John sent in a follow up email asking just how biologically independent humans are from the Earth and its unmanageable ecology. Don't miss Rachel's reply. Another listener asked about the concepts being discussed today appearing in sci fi literature and film. Rachel talked some more about sim biosphere which will be a new upcoming project. As we were ending, starship cities were discussed as was the Philips Microbial Home (www.design.philips.com/about/design/designportfolio/design_futures/microbial_home.page). Among the many people referenced by our guest was architect Philip Beesley and his work (www.philipbeesleyarchitect.com).

The Scoop: Are GMOs Safe?/
Recently a lot of controversy has surrounded the subject of GMOs. A line has been drawn, a battle is about to ensue but amidst the varying news sources, it's sometimes hard to know what to believe. So, we did some research.
It wasn't always easy deciphering the facts from the rest. We watched Dr. Oz, combed through countless YouTube videos, read articles and opinion blogs. One thing we found was that news sources that look at numbers--statistics on GMO use worldwide, the costs of labeling, economic costs and benefits to using GMOs and driving shareholder return are far better that the "news" sources that simply tell you how to think as a consumer. At this point, awareness and concern about GMOs is widespread enough that something has got to give, one article we found in the Huffington Post said it best:
"The food industry has a choice to make: stand with the chemical companies or stand with its consumers."
They also innumerated the reasons why we all should be weighing in on this issue:
- The novelty of these ingredients is so unprecedented that the Environmental Protection Agency now regulates genetically engineered corn as a pesticide. Before GMOs, insecticide was sprayed on corn and could be washed off. With the introduction of GMOs, corn is engineered to produce its own insecticide. Why label? If you had a choice between the two kinds of corn, one that is regulated as a food and the other regulated as a pesticide, which would you choose?
- The Food and Drug Administration says that these foods look, taste, and smell the same, that they are "substantially equivalent," but the United States Patent and Trademark Office says they are substantially different, with GMOs being so unique that the office has granted patents to the chemical companies that invented them. Not unlike Intel Inside, we now have GMO Inside.
- Chemical companies engineered food crops like soy and corn to withstand increasing doses of their chemicals. It's a brilliant business model if you're selling chemicals. And while shareholder reports note what a remarkable impact that has had on the top lines of weed killer and other chemical products, the President's Cancer Panel is telling all of us, especially those of us with kids, to reduce our exposure to these very same chemicals. Wouldn't you like to know which corn and which soy has been saturated?
- Twenty-five states have introduced GMO-labeling legislation, and more than 6 million residents voted for labels in California, the first state to introduce a labeling initiative last year.
- Sixty-four countries around the world label these ingredients. A partial list includes every country in the European Union, Japan, Australia, and even Russia, India, and China.
- More than 20 countries around the world flat out banned GMOs, didn't introduce them at all. The reasons vary, from no long-term human health studies and no synergistic toxicity studies (eating a pesticide sprayed with other weed killers, anyone?) to no prenatal studies and concerns over everything from cancer to allergies.
We also found an article in The Washington Post that studied the points GMO supporters and opponents actually agree upon. They found three items that even the food industry cannot refute. First, that "GMOs have contributed to the rise of herbicide-resistant weeds and pesticide-resistant insects." And while it is well known that resistance would happen regardless of GMOs, the ecological effects of this phenomena are yet to be seen, and certainly ominous. Second, they found that "Most of the benefits of GMOs accrue to biotech firms and farmers, leaving little to balance consumers' assessment of risks." So just to be clear now--even the food industry agrees, this isn't about "feeding the world," it's about turning a profit, and is simply another case of economic shortsightedness in our society--the person making the profit has decided that the short-term rewards outweigh the long-term costs of their practices. Finally, they found that, "We need to evaluate GMOs on a case-by-case basis." The bottom line is, we don't know how GMOs are going to affect us physiologically, because they haven't been around that long. It is not unfathomable that some might be worse that others.
All this being said--regardless of whether or not you personally are willing to consume food with GMOs--it is time that we start demanding our right to know what is in our food. From there, it is up to each of us as individuals to decide what we put in our bodies.
So what can we do to help?
The answer is simple: you vote with your dollars each time you shop at the grocery store--so make an informed decision. An easy way to do this is to look for products that clearly label that they do not use GMOs; food companies that have gotten onboard with the non-GMO movement are wisely marketing their products and boosting their sales by letting consumers know where they stand. Not sure if a product has GMOs in it? We went to the non-GMO Project's website and found this list where you can browse non-GMO products by brand. By buying only non-GMO products not only are you ensuring the health and safety of yourself and your family, but you are telling the companies that control the food in our country that they need to change their ways if they want to survive. It's so funny how powerless the average person feels about this issue, yet we alone have the power to change the profit margins that make it worthwhile for these companies to continue to not label and use GMOs.
Before we go, we wanted to leave you with a brief look at some of the companies that are working hard to keep the FDA from requiring GMO labeling. It is unfortunate that the brands that we all grew up with have refused to ensure that their "new and improved" products are safe for consumption, but we must be aware that they should no longer be considered "household names." It is time to let these companies know that we do have the power to change this situation--by changing our minds about what we are willing to put in our bodies.

How can i get a overall statistics? Thanks
|Oleg Chernavin

|There is no way to get this kind of statistics yet. Simply because you can start the download from the scratch or after deletion of several files and there will be no sense to keep accumulated statistics.
Best regards,

As an Artrepreneur you have a dream to make your passion your profit. Your business is setup and ready to go.
Now you have one thing on your mind:
Of course, starting out is never easy. You likely find yourself in the thick of a competitive market, wondering how you can stand out from the crowd and drive traffic to your store.
The truth is there's no one-size-fits-all approach to marketing and sales. Through trial and error, you will discover a unique strategy that speaks to your niche audience.
To help you discover that sweet spot, here is a list of starting points for you to explore in order to promote your online store.
Personality goes a long way in business. Today more than ever, people are looking to lifestyle brands as trusted resources.
Lifestyle brands seek to inspire, guide, and motivate people, with the goal of their products contributing to the consumer's way of life.
In order for you to establish your online store and grow your audience base, you must have a distinct personality throughout all your messaging that separates you from the rest of your competitors.

The more products you offer, the greater the chances of making a sale. You may have a great design for a t-shirt that catches the eye of consumer, but perhaps they're browsing through your store looking for mugs. If you don't have mugs activated, you just lost a sale.
Sure, your brand may be directed toward a niche audience, but there are a variety of items in the Gooten Product Catalog that have universal appeal. It costs you nothing to add them to your store so there is no risk on your part to do so.
The phenomenon known as Pokemon Go was also a gold mine for retailers. Radio Shack promoted specials on mobile chargers.
We witnessed firsthand a flux of designs for products aimed around the Pokemon craze, and those smart enough to do so received a generous bump in sales.
The lesson is you can't just create ideas inside your own bubble. Look around you and see what people are talking about, what issues are trending, and are likely to have longevity. When fads pop up out of nowhere, you must have the ability to pivot on a dime in order to get products spun up in time for them to be relevant.
There are a few times of the year when people go into buying mode. Take advantage of these times, create some special deals or a thematic collection. Here's a quick list of holidays to look out for:
You can't just rely on people coming to you. Be proactive and do outreach to bloggers in your industry with influence. They likely have an active, engaged community around them, so comment on their posts and be involved in the conversation. Bloggers will be glad you are participating in their community and may reward this with a kind mention or feature on their site that links back to your company. This is a good way to drum up PR and get your name out there.
A great method is to search online for your product categories and then find bloggers who are posting about them. Offer them product samples for review or giveaways and you will usually see a big bump in traffic from their article.
Using social media to promote your brand is a vital to your growth. Social media platforms are the water coolers of the internet, so it's vital to go where the people go.
Facebook - A good rule of thumb is to update your profile about once a day with either a link to a product from your online store or website. Ads through Facebook are highly popular and a great way to reach your target audience. When it comes to selling on Facebook, it's important to try and strike a balance between creating engaging content that builds an audience while also gently nudging people towards your products.
Instagram - What makes Instagram so popular is that it's basically Facebook boiled down to its single most engaging function: sharing photos. Throw in some brilliant photo filters and you've got one of the fastest growing online communities to date. And of course, Instagram is also a great marketing tool for your business with a lot of potential for getting you that first sale.
LinkedIn - Think of LinkedIn as your professional Facebook profile. Depending on what you're selling, you may find yourself spending as much time on LinkedIn developing your business as Facebook. Now the advantage of LinkedIn isn't necessarily just making direct sales. It's also about expanding your network and creating a wide array of opportunities.
Pinterest - Since it's primarily a visual experience, it's a great place for your product photos to shine. However, you must have a few creative bones in your body to get it to work. The effort is well worth it though, especially considering that visitors referred from Pinterest are 10 percent more likely to make a purchase from you.
Twitter - Without investing too much time or money, you can easily drive traffic to your ecommerce store. It's also a great way to engage with your customers once your business is up and running.
Tumblr - Marketing with Tumblr is a lot like marketing with Instagram. The idea is to wow people with your images and attract a large and loyal following who'll not only purchase your products but become an army for your brand. To be successful on Tumblr means you have to master the art of posting creative and inspiring content that makes an emotional connection with people.
YouTube - One of the main advantages of YouTube, is that your video will be included in Google and YouTube search results. Each video you create is a piece of inbound marketing content that will help you sell for years to come. You can also use YouTube videos on your own website to help communicate the benefits of your products.
You know what always gets people's attention? Free stuff!
Each time one of your existing followers shares any of your information (depending on the platform it could be a share, retweet, regram, etc.), your products reach a whole new set of eyes.
One way to generate shares is by offering a prize to a lucky winner, and entry to this competition can be done by sharing a certain piece of information that pertains to your product, or liking your page.
The people who love you most want you to succeed. Take advantage of this! As politely as you can of course. But seriously, take advantage of this! There should be nothing stopping you from posting from your personal social accounts and asking for your friends and followers to help spread the word about your enterprise.
You can go one step further and send out a mass email detailing exactly what you want, and how they can help you. Let them know how much you appreciate anything they can do, and as with every segment of your audience, make them feel like they are apart of your success.
You know who knows what they're doing? People in your industry who have been doing what you're doing longer than you have. Learn from your competitors. Find out what channels online they are using to market and advertise. Study the tone of their messaging. The idea is not to copy, but rather, to understand it and improve on what they do. Do it in a way that uniquely ties into your brand.
Establishing trust with your audience is pivotal, right from the start, and people implicitly trust experts in their field. Your goal should be to become a thought leader in your industry, someone capable of providing insights and beneficial tips. When people feel you know what you're talking about, the value of your business increases.

"we hate books" — @penguinrandom
It's easy to be boring. For the most part, that's what everyone else is doing. That's why a bit of controversy from time to time can actually be a good thing. Being a part of a viral story can drive a ton of traffic your way.
Writing a controversial blog post is a great way to garner attention. Whether it's picking a fight with a well-established competitor, or taking an unpopular opinion on a trending subject, it could turn out to be an effective way to books traffic and generate the SEO gold known as backlinks.
Of course, there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it. It has to be done carefully and artfully. Shooting from the hip and making outlandish statements will most likely do more harm than good.
Besides organic search, email marketing is the most effective customer acquisition channel. The key to building up your email subscriber list is to offer something of value in return. You can write a great, useful blog post and at the end of it have a field for them to submit their email, in order to keep up with your wonderful content in the future.
Keep your subscriber list engaged with newsletters, promotions, subscriber-only discounts and coupons.
Most shoppers research heavily online when they are making a purchase, especially around the holidays. They usually end up browsing through resources such as gift guides which are roundups of ideas for what consumers should get for their loved ones.
By simply googling terms from the mindset of someone who would be looking for your products, you can find these guides yourself. If you want to highlight your mugs in a guide you would search:
You get the idea.
Next, find the contact information for each site you want to be apart of and send them a friendly email. Be sure to personalize it, no one wants to be spammed to.
Reddit is a popular online community divided into "subreddits," which are groups centered around different interests.
Reddit allows you to buy ads that show on specific subreddits, so that you're only paying to show ads to people who are interested in your niche. Campaigns start at $5, so it's easy and cheap to test it out and send traffic to a signup landing page.

I got eyelash extensions 2 days ago and I want them off NOW
I have wanted eyelash extensions for the longest time. The reason why I never had them done before is because I really dislike having to maintain them, the cost is high, and having to make small changes to my beauty routine because of them.
But now that I am seriously planning my wedding, (btw, I've started a wedding series every Wednesday. Check it out here) I had to try them out because I was planning on having them for the wedding.
I love full voluminous eyelashes but I am terrible at applying lash strips. I've tried a couple of time and failed miserably and sometimes find them uncomfortable. I assumed that lash extensions were the way to go.
I got them done on Saturday night…I was looking at ways to remove them at home that night. They aren't me and I want them off.
Here's the situation
I was bored on Saturday and had some extra cash that of course I just needed to spend on something (I need to stop). So I went to the woman who does my eyelashes and got the extensions.
The process wasn't long at all, about 35 minutes. Quick, and painless.
All these years of people getting them done, not once did anyone tell me that it was going to burn like actual hell. This made me very angry.
The glue was very very strong and irritated my eyes. She said it was normal but I just couldn't believe that I never knew that information. It didn't last too long, but long enough to piss me off. I really should've sat down and done more thorough research. I don't know I kind of figured that they would have created a glue that wasn't going to irritate the eyes. Eyelash glue that I use for lash strips isn't strong and doesn't irritate my eyes so I guess figured that it would be a little bit of a stronger eyelash glue and not as painful as it was.
That in itself is enough to keep me away. I don't like any discomfort and that's why I don't like beauty procedures. There is always some sort of discomfort. I just don't have time for it. I love my eyes and I want to be able to see clearly without them feeling like I just poured hot sauce into them.
Now once I was able to see comfortably again, I just wasn't in love with the lashes. I don't really know why. I guess they look good I mean they don't look terrible but I just was not in love with them the way that I thought I was going to be. I thought that this was going to be a life-changing process for me and it definitely not.
They were a little bit uncomfortable for the rest of the night but when I woke up in the morning they were fine. You are not to wash your face for 24 hours after getting them so that was annoying. I feel like I did hear that somewhere before I got them done and I just forgot but I didn't like that I wasn't able to wash my face before bed and overall I'm not very pleased.
My husband thinks it would be insane for me to take them off after two days considering the cost I paid $90 for mine they're supposed to last for 4 to 5 weeks depending on if I wash my face a lot or go swimming a lot or things like that but I honestly cannot deal with these I don't want them anymore they're not me and I really don't know why I even got them now.
I think I'm gonna try to stick it out as long as I can but I'm just not happy and I want them off so I think I'm just going to stick to Lastrapes when I really need lashes because they are way better for me personally.
The best part is that the same night I got them done I was already looking at ways to remove them at home. There were so many people that had the same complaint as me. They said that it just wasn't what they thought it was going to be. They didn't want to leave them on and they probably won't get them again. I just don't really understand why I didn't look more into it. I just saw all the good and I never focused on any of the issues so I like jumped right in. I definitely regret that.
I know of tons of people who get their lashes done and it looks incredible and they love it and that is so awesome. Maybe I should try a different salon. Maybe I would have a different experience there but I don't know if I would be willing to try it again. I think I might start looking into better mascara that can just make my lashes look longer, and growing out my natural lashes because I really do prefer to be natural. It's just the easiest to maintain and I doubt I will get extensions again.
Have you had lash extensions before? Did you love them? Did it burn your eyes? Let me know in the comments!!!!

Marc Faber Forecasts 30% Stock Market Crash, Says Buy GoldStock-Markets / Financial Crash Jun 27, 2013 - 12:06 PM GMT
Dr. Marc Faber, the Swiss fund manager and publisher of the 'Gloom, Boom and Doom Report' always enjoys illuminating the Wall St. talking heads and displaying his awesome command of numbers, dates and predictions.
The Fed's 'tapering' comments have ramped up market volatilaty and Faber gives some advice for short and long-term strategies. For example: ""The best course of action is to actually not buy anything, but rather to reduce positions on a rebound," Faber said: Also, "New highs in emerging markets and in high yield bonds are out of the question, and if it happened in the S&P, which I don't believe, it would be driven by very few stocks. Longer term, the market is far from oversold. It still has considerable downside risk everywhere," he said.
Finally, buy more gold......he is. (6:31)

Coming Soon
We continue to add new features that support shoppers, retailers, and brands. Check out some of the new developments that are Coming Soon.
Feature your best retailers and their selection of your products from a special, Locally-managed area of your website.
- There's nothing new about it. For years, brands have helped retailers showcase their partnership in a specially managed area of the retailer's shop. The brand provided fixtures or marketing support in exchange for dedicated floor space. Locally's Shop-in-Shop program is quite the same, but in reverse.
- Symbiotic Relationships. Locally is bringing this concept to online shoppers with a new tool that highlights the same type of partnership and urges those shoppers to shop in a nearby shop. Locally provides this as a turnkey service to brands. We collect and provide all of the relevant information about the stores - while giving the retailers the ability to manage stuff like photos, hours, and inventory themselves. Brands only need to send us a list of who is participating.
- We manage everything. We work directly with your best clients to establish and manage their presence on your site. Locally handles inventory, logos, hours, photos, and even hands off incoming transactions in a simple format that doesn't require ecommerce (or even a website). This tool is entirely hands-off for your dev team. Once you provide the designs and map a subdomain to our servers, we will wire up the functionality so you can get back to focusing on sell-in and sell-through.
Locally Delivers
Do you have a plan for same-day delivery of your products? Is it environmentally friendly?
- Partners in the last mile. Even the biggest brands are struggling to find a response to ever-shrinking delivery times and ever-increasing logistics costs. Do you have a solution that is smart, customer-centric, and environmentally friendly? We do. Why not tap into your existing dealer network? Your dealers have intelligent, locally-informed curation of your products ready to be delivered as quickly as a pizza. Our agnostic delivery platform allows stores (including your own) to power their own local deliveries, set rates, and schedules, or use the increasing array of micro-delivery services available to that area.
- Available in Late 2017 Locally will introduce local delivery for select retail customers in latter 2017. The service will be provider agnostic, so you can use your own trucks or tap into the growing list of delivery services like Uber Rush or deliv.co (limited area).
Dropship to Store
Automate the special ordering process and give all of your dealers a chance to make full-price, full-service sales.
- Ship to Store Most retailers can't afford to stock as large of an assortment of your products as they can sell - or that their loyal customers want to buy from them. A great way to show them what they're missing is to provide a risk-free extended assortment. Soon, Locally will work directly with select brand partners to offer as easy and automated solution that allows virtually any size store, with any level of technology expertise, to extend their assortment of your products on their own Locally-powered site. Stores will even be able to automate in-store special ordering and tap into your warehouse inventory in near-real-time.
- Connecting the Dots We are lining up suppliers and logistics partners now. If you would like to offer retailers the ability to accept orders (on their sites) via Locally Pages or on Locally.com for items that you can fulfill, please check in with us now. We would also encourage any retailer who is interested in this service to speak to your favorite brands. Most of your brand partners already ship for big ecommerce guys, so adding an additional service will not be a problem for most of them. This service will roll out slowly with carefully chosen partners.
More Tools for Brands
Store Locator
Your Store Locator is one of the most popular pages on your site. How are you using it to turn shoppers into buyers?
Product Locator
Online, on-demand shopping is the emerging future of shopping. How will you get your products into your customers' hands before your competition?
'Shop In Shop' Store Pages
Shine a spotlight on your best retail locations from your own site.
Join us as we grow locally.com, the first-of-its-kind online destination for local shopping.
Business Intelligence
Join us as we build the most forward-thinking analytics suite of location-based insights for brands and every node of their distribution network.
Dealer Data Management
We use crowd-sourcing techniques to perpetually audit tens of thousands of stores, keeping your dealer data accurate in a way impossible to do alone.
Tools for your Dealers
Arm your dealers with effortless tools to better engage online shoppers, without ecommerce.
Custom Mapping
Do you need a standalone mapping solution for events or a tour? Do you want to mix up multiple concepts (like what to do and where to buy) for a marketing initiative?

ICANN transition comments due September 8
The final ICANN proposals to transition control of key Internet functions away from the current U.S. supervision are ready for comment, an important milestone in the process that was put into motion a little over a year ago.
Comments are due Sept. 8 for the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) Stewardship Transition Coordination Group's (ICG) proposal and Sept. 15 for the the Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Enhancing ICANN Accountability.
"It is particularly important that stakeholders everywhere evaluate whether these plans meet the criteria that we have said must be part of the transition," Lawrence Strickling, assistant secretary for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, wrote in a blog post Tuesday.
The U.S. agreed in March 2014 to hand over control of IANA to ICANN when the current contract expires in September, a deadline that will slide until about June 2016, ICANN officials estimated at the group's June meeting in Buenos Aires.
Based on comments, ICANN is expected to finalize the proposals in October, during the group's next meeting in Dublin.
Congress got close to passing a bill that would give it some oversight control of the final plan, which will be reviewed by the NTIA. The bill, known as the DOTCOM Act passed the House and the Senate commerce committee in June, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) put a hold on it keeping it from a Senate floor vote.

|Prosthetic aortic valve stenosis in end-stage renal failure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21647316 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Although renal failure is one of the known comorbidities associated with rapid progression of aortic stenosis, it is unclear whether hemodialysis alters the progression of prosthetic aortic valve stenosis. We describe a 79-year-old female who underwent bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement 8 years ago with stable prosthetic valve area for the initial 6 years. In the last two years, coinciding with the initiation of maintenance hemodialysis, she developed progressive prosthetic valve stenosis to the point of clinical decompensation. She underwent a second prosthetic aortic valve replacement with symptom resolution. This case suggests that circulating milieu in end-stage renal failure and dialysis can accelerate the progression of prosthetic aortic valve stenosis. More frequent clinical followup and surveillance echocardiogram for dialysis patients with bioprosthetic aortic valve may facilitate timely management of valvular stenosis.

Living Exhibits operates interactive elasmobranchs and avian exhibits at zoos and aquariums throughout North America. Current locations of Living Exhibits Interactive animal programs include the St. Louis Zoo, the Memphis Zoo, Fort Worth Zoo, Gulf World in Panama City Beach, Mystic Aquarium and Buffalo Zoo. Living Exhibits has built and managed exhibits at over 25 locations during the past 13 years.
All Living Exhibits programs are interactive and feature either Stingrays & Sharks or Birds of Australian origin. Our Stingray & Shark interactive exhibit include Cownose and Southern Stingrays and Bonnethead, White Spotted and Brown Banded Bamboo Sharks. Avian Exhibits are comprised of Budgerdiers, Cockatiels, Superb Parrots, Princess of Wales Parrots and Kookaburras.
Animal acquisition for Living Exhibits Stingrays and Sharks began through commercial providers in Florida which are licensed by the State to provide these animals for public display. Many animals in our exhibit were bi-catch meaning that the animals were incidental catch by fisherman and instead of letting the animals die, they were collected and brought back to optimal health and introduced to collections such as ours. Twenty percent of our Cownose Stingrays were rescued from a canal where they had become trapped and unable to return to the ocean. Those animals were rehabilitated, introduced into our collection and are now located at our various exhibits. Other animals in our collection were captive born either in our own exhibits or at other institutions. We do not collect animals from the wild as our collection is sustainable in terms of reproducing within our exhibits and/or trade and loan with other institutions.
Veterinary care and oversight of our animal collections is managed by Aimee Berliner, DVM, Diplomate and Specialist in Aquatic Medicine. Dr. Berliner works closely with Living Exhibits Senior Management as well as our Manager of Life Support System and Manager of Animal Husbandry to maintain an exceptional program of animal care. Each of our exhibit locations is managed by an on-sight Exhibit Supervisor and Assistant Supervisor who are employees of Living Exhibits. Dr. Berliner determines and manages treatment regimens and if a mortality occurs, manages the application of necropsy and gross pathology reports when appropriate. When appropriate, Dr. Berliner communicates with the Veterinary Staff at our host institution regarding animal treatments or other issues that zoo management should be aware of.
The on-site Living Exhibits staff reports daily via emailed logs to Living Exhibits management and our host facility veterinary and animal care management. These reports provide information on water chemistry, animal feeding and husbandry and any animal issues so that management and our veterinary staff may constantly monitor trends and issues. Our mortality rate for the last 4 years has been less than 4% of our population which is comprised of over 200 stingrays and sharks.
The water in our exhibits is artificial seawater much like most large aquariums utilize. We utilize Crystal Sea MarineMix© salt and the highest quality water management agents. The life support equipment at our exhibits is significant and includes protein fractionation, UV sterilization, BioBeds, Sand and Gravel filtration, carbon filtration and ozone contact chambers and degassing. Critical elements of our Life Support System are alarmed and redundant. Our pools are crystal clear and water chemistries are monitored throughout the day to insure optimal pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels.
Our animals are fed human quality seafood including peeled shrimp, krill, squid, mackerel and capelin fish. All food is stored in freezers and thawed on the day of feeding. Upon thawing, our food is chopped into appropriate pieces and kept chilled until feeding. Vitamins and supplements are added to replace nutritional aspects lost during freezing. Animal weights and diets are carefully monitored so that we are providing optimal quantity and quality of diet by species.
Since our inception, 13 years ago, we have been successful at having a very low mortality rate and have enjoyed having more than 50 stingray pups born at our exhibits! We have enjoyed surplusing or loaning our animals to many institutions to support their programs and genetic wellbeing of various institutional collections. We are committed to providing the highest level of animal care and place the priority on this even over visitor experience but the two are not mutually exclusive. Interactions with our animals include gentle touching and feeding by our guests. All of these activities operate under close supervision of poolside interpretive and of husbandry staff. Our facilities are designed to provide the animals with "rest zones" and "hides" for all animals to utilize when they choose to. Living Exhibits provides off exhibit holding pools that can be used to house any new pups, injured or ill animals or animals requiring some time away from the public.
Living Exhibits staff provide many forms of enrichment to our animals including various toys and interactions with the staff in water including target training, puzzle toys and obstacle courses which the animals participate with vigor. Food deprivation is never utilized in our training programs but instead, a strong operant conditioning program is utilized as part of the enrichment program.
Living Exhibits staff and management places the requirements and welfare of the animals as our highest priority and will continue to operate in a manner consistent with standards practiced by the highest level of zoological institutions. Any questions regarding our animal care or veterinary programs should be directed to Living Exhibits either by mail, e-mail or telephone.

Complete Mediastinal Lymph Node Dissection Does Not Increase Survival in Patients with Stage I or II NSCLC
DynaMed Weekly Update - Volume 6, Issue 21
Treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer is primarily surgical but the optimal extent of resection of mediastinal lymph nodes is unclear. A 2010 Cochrane review suggested that complete mediastinal lymph node dissection (CMLND) may increase overall survival compared to systematic node sampling in patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) having surgical resection (Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2010 Apr 14;(4):CD004699). However, a recent randomized trial (ACOSOG Z0030) provides strong evidence that CMLND does not improve survival in patients with stage I or II disease. Patients with T1 or T2 and N0 or nonhilar N1 NSCLC had systematic mediastinal node sampling during resection. A total of 1,111 patients with negative findings during sampling were randomized intraoperatively to CMLND vs. no further sampling. After median follow-up of 6.5 years, there were no significant differences in death (41.5% vs. 43.5%) or 5-year disease-free survival (68% vs. 69%) (level 1 [likely reliable] evidence). There were also no significant differences in local, regional, or distant recurrences. Median survival was 8.5 years vs. 8.1 years (not significant) (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2011 Mar;141(3):662).

Setting ssh server to an user to only SFTP to the user's home directory
Add the following to the end of the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp # This section must be placed at the very end of sshd_config Match Group sftponly ChrootDirectory %h ForceCommand internal-sftp AllowTcpForwarding no
This means that all users in the 'sftponly' group will be chroot'd to their home directory, where they only will be able to run internal SFTP processes.
Now you can create the group sftponly by running the following command:
$ groupadd sftponlySet a user's group:
$ usermod steve -g sftponlyTo deny SSH shell access, run the following command:
$ usermod steve -s /bin/falseAnd set the user's home directory:
$ sudo chown root /home/steve
$ sudo
chmod go-w /home/steve
Finally, you probably need to restart SSH
$ sudo mkdir /home/steve/writable
$ sudo chown steve:sftponly /home/steve/writable
$ sudo chmod ug+rwX /home/steve/writable
$ service ssh restart
The SSH part should now be in order, but you should make sure that file permissions also are correct. If the chroot environment is in a user's home directory both /home and /home/username must be owned by root and should have permissions along the lines of 755 or 750.
In other words, every folder leading up to and including the home folder must be owned by root, otherwise you will get the following error after logging in:
Write failed: Broken pipe Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

"I was blown away by the complexity of the challenges and the organization of the entire weekend. I cannot emphasize how impressed I was by the professionalism of everyone involved. It felt so much like a reality show and was better than I could have ever imagined!"
—Jackie Paul, 24
"It was a FANTASTIC and FABULOUS game that tested my physical and mental fitness! I will always remember how it tested and pushed me into activities into which I never thought I could achieve, but I did! I feel like I can do anything after this experience. The best thing I've participated in since moving to LA!"
—Evangeline Fabia, 29
"The challenges made us examine the dynamics of how we interacted as a team. I learned a lot about myself, how I communicate on a team, and the way I am under pressure. I would highly recommend this to anyone! It's great for a fun time, for team-building, and for personal growth. It will definitely help any organization, team, or business function more effectively!"
—Jonathan Lopez, 27
"It's something fun that my family talks, conspires, and laughs about throughout each year. It's wonderful because it's truly an activity that EVERYONE can participate in, regardless of age or physical ability. It gave us a rare and exciting opportunity to feel like kids again!"
—Lucy Johnson, 67
"I had an amazing experience and will not look at LA the same way ever again. I would recommend this in a second, especially for folks that are reality buffs- This may be the closest you can get to being on the real show! It's just unlike anything I've ever done before."
—Shaun Smith, 31
"It gave us shared, positive memories across generations spanning 50 years. I absolutely recommend these games because they build friendships through common experiences, are entertaining in unexpected ways, and appeal to both the individual competitor and team player in all of us."
—Bill Thomas, 58
"My experience was one full of challenges, perseverance, teamwork, playfulness, innovation, and all around friendly competition. I can't think of a better way to spend a day! It's definitely a fun experience for any group of friends, co-workers, and strangers. Such a great team-building experience that challenges every fiber of your being."
—Jennifer Stewart, 26
"As the Saboteur, I'll always remember trying to figure out how to throw the game without anyone else figuring it out. I also loved the challenges! They were fun, kept us moving, and definitely kept everyone's attention. It is such a fun, non-traditional way to get any group together."
—Amy Barth, 37
"A majority of the people in the game were strangers to me, but as we began to compete and during the game, there was a bond between all of us which made the game even more fun! It was cool making new friends even though we were all competing against each other."
—Ivee Yu, 25
"If you're looking for an awesome way to get strangers and friends to interact with one another and want your friends to have a fun time, then this is it. Having these guys run a Reality TV game is a no-brainer! Everyone was so impressed and kept asking when they could host another game. I can't wait to do it again!"
—Gisselle Ruiz, 30
"Hands down one of the coolest things I have done in my six years in LA! I've always loved LA, but it enabled me to experience the city in a completely new way. It was flawlessly organized. Much of my job is organizing events for large groups of people, so I can truly appreciate all the work and detail that went into putting on the game – very well done!"
—Matthias Schildwachter, 28
"I've really enjoyed playing these games and I found myself doing things I never thought I was capable! It has definitely given my entire family something to share with each other for a very long time. This is as good as it gets without being on the actual TV programs yourself."
—Dan Jenero, 58

a new game called Maegica
I got a new email alert, suggesting a new browser game called Maegica coming soon
My name is Joanna, and I'm writing to you for a new game submission since i did not find a column for that on your site. I work for a browser game platform named R2Games, and mainly responsible for media contact.
The name of this game is Maegica, and currently this game is under close beta. If you are going to put this game on your site, the following information might be useful: Maegica is a next-generation browser game which combines elements of both the strategy and role-playing genres. In Maegica, players must work to develop their cities while progressing through increasingly tough battles against NPC enemies. Players take control of heroes who command troop forces with unique special abilities.
By upgrading structures, researching new technologies, acquiring and enhancing equipment, and leveling up heroes, players will need to constantly work on improving themselves and their forces.

Is anxiety something that you're constantly dealing with all the things you love in life? You should find a great stress management technique that you can use. Some people take medicine while others use medication to control their anxiety. Read this article to learn about different stress management methods and select the ones you desire to try.
To make sure anxiety doesn't drag you down, workout daily to relax. Physical activity is also promotes general health.
Limit the time spent reading the paper or watching the news if current events seem to trigger your anxiety. Give yourself some time each day to get caught up on important current events, but don't spend a great deal of time on this because too many negative stories can really affect your anxiety levels.
Practice taking deep breathing that can help defeat anxiety hits. Anxiety can cause hyperventilation, instead what you should do is take breaths from your diaphragm. You will find that your anxiety eases as you breathe deeply, being certain that your stomach rises and falls.
Start writing all of your thoughts in a daily journal. Some people allow stressful thoughts locked in their heads and need to find a way to let go of them. When using a diary to let go of the stress in your mind, your brain can start thinking about the present instead of dwelling on past or future things.
Talk to someone about how you feel inside in regards to anxiety. Keeping feelings and thoughts to yourself is only going to make things worse. Releasing them can really reduce your anxiety and make you feel better.
Remember to apply these tricks whenever you feel stressed. Some methods will work for you more than others, and managing stress can be tough. Have patience and keep in mind that your hard work will pay off when your stress is controlled.


text: December 4, 2014 at 11:30 AM Recap: 8 things to know about Seattle, King County's sex trafficking crisis Posted by Thanh Tan In case you missed Wednesday's Google+ Hangout On Air about sex trafficking in Seattle, watch the full 43-minute video below. (To see the same video with links to related articles and resources, go to this link.) I hosted the discussion featuring Tim Matsui, director of "The Long Night," King County senior deputy prosecutor Val Richey, Organization for Prostitution Survivors co-founder Noel Gomez, Seattle Against Slavery executive director Robert Beiser, and Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking executive director Mar Brettman. The panel offered their insight on several key issues, including: the lack of data available to identify how many children are being commercially exploited, a disturbing rise in demand fueled by the Internet, the potential legalization of prostitution and ways the community can take action. Watch "The Long Night" for free through the end of the week at thelongnightmovie.com. Below are excerpted quotes and takeaway points from the video chat that illustrate the complex nature of sex trafficking and potential solutions to prevent other kids from becoming victims of exploitation. Prostitution is not a victimless crime. More Comments | Topics: Google, hangout, king county

So, ich bin wieder daheim und kann Euch ein schnelles Geburtstagskaertchen zeigen. Es ist schlicht, aber trotzdem froehlich bunt und gefaellt mir persoenlich sehr gut.
So, I am home again and can show you a colourful but simple birthday card. I like it.

Hi Nessie, got your message and sorry to hear you are having probs with the die. I have a post that deal with this http://ikkiscuttlebugcupboard.blogspot.com/2009/10/tippy-thursday-spellbinder.htmlReplyDelete
which may help. These intricate dies, whatever the make, can be a pain but you can get them out. When you pass through your machine, try turning the die, and also placing it in another place on the plate. Sometimes it's the warping of the plate that caused problems. Sometimes if the paper or card is thin you may need a shim (or2) but don't force! Not sure what you are trying to do with the brown mat? This will not help with the cutting. Read the post above and see if this works, if not come back to me. Hope you find the way to do it because these dies are lovely, I have posted a picture of one today. ikki
Schön Dich wieder zu lesen, liebe Heike.ReplyDelete
Deine Karte ist klasse geworden und schaut super aus mit dem Teekannenmotiv.
LG Jutta

White Render
ford519 posted a topic in EntertainmentI like to composite screenshots in photoshop as opposed to rendering with renderworks. Is there a way to render multipass like in C4D or a "white model" render? I'd like to isolate the SSAO pass from the openGL render if possible, and I really hate turning everything white... maybe there's a script that temporarily (or permanently, but undo-able) turns all objects white? Thanks in advance.

Mick and Cheryl Goss with Graham Beck and Laurie Jaffee in Dubai
(Photo : Summerhill Archives)
1929 - 2010
Mick Goss
Summerhill StudThe word "legend" is a much abused word in racing, or anywhere else for that matter. But in Graham Beck, here was the real life embodiment of the coinage.
What else can one say about a man whose passing has made all of the national news headlines, that hasn't already been said. Descriptions that race to mind are "bigger than life"; overt generosity; an infectious, guttural sense of humour; a streetwiseness of uncanny proportions, and an enormous capacity for making others feel warm, wanted and, critically, worthy.
South African racing in general and the Jewry of Johannesburg in particular were once blessed with the "Three Musketeers", Graham Beck, Cyril Hurwitz and Laurie Jaffee, now all passed on, and presumably, in the Elysian Fields. We say "presumably", because they could at times be wickedly naughty, all three of them, and we're not quite sure what the test is for entry to this apparent paradise. What we do know though, is that whatever the verdict on the first to go, (Cyril), it would've been the same for the other two, so the one assurance we do have is that they're now together, and they're probably looking down on us wondering whether we'll see their like again. For my money, that's c'est non possible. And you'd have to ask yourself, whether the makers of J&B have a factory big enough up there.
How do we place this man into perspective? In racing terms, he was a colossus, one of the greatest and most benevolent owners the game has ever known. Three things stand out for me in particular, not that they were necessarily, by any stretch, momentous in his life. The first involved the purchase of my first filly off the track from Graham, in a private transaction in his office. Given his stature and my own relative insignificance at 27, he couldn't have been more accommodating, in what could've been frighteningly intimidating.
The second involved his purchase of Gainesway Farm. I happened to be representing the TBA on a trip to Kentucky, when I attended the Breeders Cup meeting. Just the day before, I made the acquaintance of a fellow solicitor, a Mr. Bishop who was counsel to one of the two greatest stallion stations in the world, Claiborne Farm; the grapevine, he said, was that a South African had purchased Gainesway, the other of the two great stallion stations. This was astounding news given that it was 1989, and that no South African had ever made such a splash in the bloodstock world.
The following day, Graham asked me to join him at his table at the Breeders Cup itself, there beside us was the founder, John Gaines himself, as cultured and intelligent a man as I've had the pleasure to know in racing. In that instant, Graham Beck had acquired the gigantic likes of Lyphard, Blushing Groom, Riverman, Vaguely Noble, Irish River etc, some of the noblest names of all thoroughbred breeding, and South Africa had "arrived".
Henceforth, and for some time, Graham Beck would be Kentucky's most favoured dinner guest, and his legacy at Gainesway today is one of the most beautiful farms on the planet. As a farmer myself, I should use this moment to applaud his stewardship of the land. That is his, and his lovely lady, Rhona's signature, wherever they have invested.
The third instant reflected his own international standing in the thoroughbred world. I was in Dubai for the inaugural World Cup, and I received a distressed message from Graham's office in Johannesburg, enquiring whether I could intervene in getting his private aircraft which was already in flight into Dubai. His sin was that he was Jewish himself, and that his aircraft had been to Israel on its journey to Dubai. Given the difficulties Israel and its Middle Eastern neighbours have experienced over the decades, aircraft emanating from there were not always welcome.
There was no one bigger in the thoroughbred world at that time than Sheikh Mohammed, and there was no-one more capable of influencing events in the Middle East than him. Within an hour, the big plane was not only welcome, but Sheikh Mohammed attended personally at the airport to fetch Graham.
In every material respect, Graham Beck was an enormous man, big in personality, big in generosity, massive in his contributions to our game, and in the lives he touched. At Summerhill, his Highlands Farm was our biggest competitor, and no-one competed "better" than he did.
Rest in peace, old pal. Your life has been hectic, and you deserve it.

The Builder
The shift from a mom-and-pop store to a robust web business is a bumpy road. As our operations head during the transition years, Clint helped us navigate. He has a big brain and an even bigger desire to use it more effectively. He read the business books and went to the seminars, and we benefited from his knowledge. But he wasn't all bookish analytics; Clint is one of those rare individuals who can both ideate and implement. He'd think up a brilliant idea, then think of an equally brilliant way to get it done. Logistics, systems building, operational efficiencies — nothing escaped his attention. Oh, and the idea to add those inspiring and relevant baseball quotes to the core values? That was his too.
