Sims Metal Management,
Daniel Dienst,
Sean Davidson
NEW YORK Sims Metal Management Ltd. anticipates a $21-million to $31-million decline in earnings in the first half of its fiscal year.
"Market conditions remain tough," chief executive officer Daniel W. Dienst said at the companys annual meeting of shareholders in North Sydney, Australia, and the company expects underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) to be in a range of $110 million to $120 million in the six months ending Dec. 31, down from $141 million in the same period last year.
"In full-year fiscal 2012, we generated underlying Ebitda of $253 million. That result reflected tough markets characterized by weak scrap generation, tight metal margins and significant volatility, both in terms of ferrous pricing and periods of illiquid trading conditions in our important deep-sea ferrous markets. Despite a very recent significant lift in ferrous trading prices, market conditions remain as challenging so far in fiscal 2013 as they were in fiscal 2012," Dienst said.
"Let none of us hide from the fact that significant challenges remain. In two of our key scrap-generating minesthe U.S. and the U.K.the scrap-generating consumer remains somewhat wary and tentative. During the pre-(global financial crisis) boom years, capacity was increased and that capacity currently outstrips current arisings. But after several years of pain, the strong hand of Darwin is now eradicating and consolidating marginal and unprofitable capacity," he said.
"We are seeing some green shoots, if you will, in the U.S. economy as recent reports and government statistics suggest that the U.S. consumer has begun to return. However, uncertainty caused by the recent presidential election in the United States, the portended fiscal cliff also in the U.S., a struggling European Union and the soon-to-be-completed once-a-decade transition of power in China have combined to create a wait-and-see attitude," Dienst said. "This wait-and-see attitude is adding to the massive backlog for the purchasing of new products which, when met, may unleash a commensurate wave of supply to recyclers."
As part of the groups strategy for its current fiscal year, Dienst said it is targeting group-wide cost reductions of 75 basis points against its fiscal 2012 sales and will look to advance its position in emerging economies such as China, India and the Middle East.
"We will go deep into the scrap-generating mines for material, be that in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia or China. We are aggressively exploring new markets, and will prudently move into them once proper due diligence has been completed," he said. "We currently expect capex in fiscal 2013, excluding acquisitions, to be circa $160 million to $180 million, depending on the timing of projects and market conditions."
In North America, Dienst said that the company will complete construction of its municipal recycling plant in New York City and will continue development of the New England and Gulf Coast markets.
The groups electronics recycling division will continue to grow and maintain its position "both organically and externally with significant development plans in the U.S. and Canada," he added.

Oct 19, 2010Une belle arnaque, un dvd documentaire sans interet. On s'ennuie, c'est absolument infecte. A éviter si vous ne voulez pas avoir le pire jeu de la ps3
May 24, 2012I'm not sure what made me want to play this game but I played it. It really is incredibly boring. It's a game more so about visuals I think and they are average at best. Basically the concept of the game is to take pictures for money the better your picture quality the more money you make. You can use that money to buy other stuff or upgrade your camera. This is sadly the only part of this game I enjoyed. I don't know who I'd recommend Afrika to. A parent buying a non violent game for their kid maybe but that's about it. It is somewhat educational. However theres no real reason to play this game at all. I think Cabela's would be more fun for me.… Expand
Dec 31, 2010It's a really great game for people, who love animals. I want a second part of it :) I love photographing but I cant go to Afrika. Why dont you like it? :<
Jul 2, 2011This game looks phenomenal and the core concept is great, but the final product is just incredibly boring. You need to have large amounts of patience while waiting for the animals to get into the position you need.
Jan 18, 2012I like the game in theory and the graphics are nice, especially the animals, of course, but to be honest, everything takes MUCH too long and is MUCH to cumbersome to enjoy it. Couldn't bring myself to finish it yet. Controls are kind of amateurish, it feels like no actual game designer was involved, but ''only'' a bunch of people who love animals. On top of it, the photos you shoot look kind of unclear and low-res. If you have the patience for this game and like the idea - shooting pictures of wildlife - this is pretty good, but personally, I ended up not liking the actual final product.… Expand
Jun 7, 2012Ok, we meet Viva Piñata of Xbox 360, and the game is funny, pretty, and colorful, now SONY intent repeat the succesful of Microsoft with Afrika, but what happen? The game is BORING. Afrika have great graphics, really cool, the animals look awesome, but the problem comes with the gameplay, is very repetitive, and boring. Sony (or best say Natsume) can do a better thing, but with this regular intent the game fail.… Expand
Afrika is one of the most pleasant, enjoyable and gently engrossing games I've played in a while. It's a shame Sony isn't releasing it here, and it's worth importing. [JPN Import]
If you like it quiet, Afrika's peacefulness and sense of freedom offer something to savour.[JPN Import; Nov 2008, p.116]
Approached with acceptance of its limitations and a willingness to cede true freedom, Afrika can still be a remarkable, memorable experience. [Dec 2008, p.121]

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #634: SFX Test; #635: Burying the Lead
1. This is the end of Chapter 26. Chapter 27 will start up on Thursday with the very first scene (more or less) of the movie, so… yay. Finally.
2. There's a new thing in the Multiplex Store: a Multiplex: The Movie "sponsorship."
Basically, it is like the $200-level Kickstarter reward where people got to have cameos in Book 1 Prequel story. Since this cameo doesn't come with the book or a T-shirt and whatnot, though, it is $100. It does, however, include a print of the first strip you appear in, so there's shipping on top of that). So… it's still not cheap, but well, you know, it's really more to support the strip and get something kinda cool in return, not just pay me to draw you into the comic. (If you do want a T-shirt, as well, I Believe in George Romero shirts are still available!)
3. A few of you have asked whether I plan to do a full-fledged Kickstarter for Book 2, and the answer is "probably"; I'm just not in a financial position to take several months off from paying freelance work this time, as I was when Book 1 was under way, so I want to have nearly all of the bonus comics in the can before I launch it (if I launch it).
4. Just so none of you hover your mouse over the nav menu at the top and wait for the drop-downs to show up, they won't anymore. I got rid of the drop-down, to make the site a little more modern, a little more touch-friendly. There is, however, now a sitemap in the footer of every page, so there you go. Still easy to get anywhere in just one little click… after you scroll past all the comments.

Schools Earn Top Marks on Report Cards
24 schools earn 4s or 5s on the state's report card
The Bend-La Pine Schools community has much to celebrate with the release of the Oregon Department of Education's Report Card. Twenty-four of the district's 28 schools earned the state's top rankings of 4 or 5.
Seven schools earned a rank of 5, which means they are in the top 10 percent of schools in Oregon. This is an increase from last year, when five schools in the district earned 5s.

This week marks the year anniversary of my big move to Nashville. I can't believe it's already been a year. On the one hand, it feels like I've been here forever, and on the other, it feels like about 2 weeks has passed since we sold all our stuff and set off on our cross-country road trip. I was talking to an acquaintance at a party the other night when I stopped abruptly after referring to myself as "new in town" — "Wait," I said, "do I still get to call myself a newbie after a year?" Answers varied, but one thing I've realized about relocating to a new city is that the settling-in process is less about a certain amount of time passing and more about the milestones you reach along the way. Hitting the 3-month mark in a new zip code is decidedly less exciting than finally tracking down a new hairstylist you trust with your highlights, for example. Here are 10 signs that you've finally settled in to your new home: Keep reading »

There are more than one million vehicle accidents involving deer across the country. In Wisconsin, the number exceeds 90,000. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that there are over one billion dollars in damages relating to deer vehicle collisions in the U.S.
Rosemurgy Motors Inc. in Wausau says they're seeing a lot of repairs relating to deer accidents. Costs for those repairs are averaging around 15 hundred dollars.
"The deer herd right now is pretty high we see a little more than normal but every fall it's typical to get this type of repair," says Jerry Cherek, body shop manager.
State troopers say there are some tips to avoid a wreck with a deer. Don't swerve and slow down if you spot a deer on the side of the road. They say fewer people are injured from actually hitting the deer than losing control and swerving.

Naga Council, MCD slam 'communal' Assam Muslim union
Dimapur, February 23 (MExN): Two frontal organizations in Dimapur, the Naga Council and the Muslim Council of Dimapur today denounced the statements of a Muslim organization in Assam by the name and style of "Assam Muslim Welfare Union" which had made communal threats recently. The union had accused NGOs in Nagaland working to identify illegal immigrants in Bangladesh, of attempting to "divide" the communities on lines of "religion."
The Naga Council and Muslim Council of Dimapur termed "wild and outrageous" even as the communities are working to curb rampant influx of illegal immigrants. A joint meeting of Naga Council and the Muslim community was held today in Dimapur.
The Naga Council and Muslim Council of Dimapur termed "wild and outrageous" even as the communities are working to curb rampant influx of illegal immigrants. A joint meeting of Naga Council and the Muslim community was held today in Dimapur.
During the meeting, a number of joint decisions were taken and affirmations made. The Muslim Council of Dimapur has "expressed profound shame, regret" and has apologized to the Naga Council and the Naga people for the "outrageous charges leveled at Naga Council by purportedly non-existent Muslim organization bereft of any knowledge of ground realities." The Muslim Council of Dimapur had condemne3d the Assam organization and has refuted all its charges. The Muslim community has "vowed to hunt down the authors of the hitherto unknown organization," a statement arrived at during the meeting said. A copy was received here today.
"The Muslim Council Dimapur shall fully co-operate with PAC to register genuine Muslims and to render full support to flush out illegal immigrants in the state especially Dimapur…" the stamen said. The meeting discussed at length "the diabolic design and motive of inserting the outrageous statement on the day the joint meeting was to take place between PAC/ Naga Council and Muslim community. Numerous opinions surfaced during the meeting expressing deep suspicion on Muslims of Dimapur of using AMWU to insert the news item to divert public attention from the recent Feb 6 gang-rape and ongoing process of detection of illegal migrants."
Further, the Muslim community has assured to instill confidence among all Naga citizens living, studying, working, etc outside Nagaland and be responsible in view of the threat to Naga citizens already flashed nationwide in print media.
The joint meeting has appealed to all sections of the people to maintain calm and not to exploit the situation to serve selfish interests, neither be provoked by the irresponsible statement of AMWU. Rather, the joint statement said, the citizens are to cooperate "to wipe out elements working to create hostile atmosphere to scuttle socially beneficial processes and urged all citizens of Dimapur to co-exist peacefully and make Dimapur harmonious."

Pender Island Cottage Rental Photos and Description
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)
This cottage is in the prime area of a small brand-new resort consisting of 30 cottages. Spectacular arbutus trees can be seen around the cottage and at certain times of year the whales can be seen passing by.
Eagles, seals, otters, and deer are abundant. The resort has a marina, two pools (one for adults only) a bistro, a kids playground, and a large grassy area. The resort is well-managed with staff always on sight to assist you and provide information.
There is a golf course within walking distance, and several first-class restaurants. At the Driftwood Centre, the main shopping area for Pender Island residents, there is an excellent bookstore, as well as several other shops selling art, crafts, clothing, etc. There is also an excellent modern supermarket with a selection as good as any high-end urban market.
A nicely appointed fitness centre is also available for drop-ins. Elsewhere on the island, there is a museum, many beautiful hiking trails, several lakes, beaches, and on South Pender, accessible over a one-lane bridge, there is a world-class spa where you can book massages, facials, and various body wraps, and enjoy their steam cave and geothermal hot tub.
The Island is a popular location for cyclists and there are few cars on the roads. There are a number of artist's studios that you can visit, and a Farmer's market every Saturday except in the winter. The Morning Bay Winery offers tours and tastings daily.
Pender is a special place in the winter too. The weather is generally very mild, as the area has a Mediterranean climate. The occasional storm is welcomed as the cottage is snug and cozy, encouraging you to curl up in front of the fire with a good book. If you are a diver, this cottage is very close to a world class diving area, and boats can be hired to take you out to a marine park with sunken ships.
The ferry is a 5 minute walk from the cottage, and you can take the ferry to Saltspring Island for the day, where there is more opportunities for shopping and exploring.

About Melady Preece
I am a psychologist, working for Vancouver Coastal Health, as well as in private practice. I have two adult daughters, three grandchildren, and two little dogs. I love to go to the cottage when life is getting stressful and relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of the island.
Melady Preece purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Melady Preece chose Pender Island
I have always loved the Gulf Islands and dreamed of having a place to escape from the city. I manage to go two or three times a year myself, and like being able to share the experience with others.
What makes this cottage unique
I feel my stress disappearing the minute I get into the lineup for the ferry. I love the feeling of walking in the door of the cottage and seeing the panoramic view of the ocean outside the windows. I love to sleep with the windows open and if I wake in the night, I fall back to sleep listening to the sound of the waves lapping against the rocks below my window.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had another great vacation on Pender Island last week...the weather cooperated and delivered continuous sunshine punctuated by a spectacular thunder & lightening show on Tuesday evening. The resident deer seems to have become more bold, not only sleeping under the cottages, but feeding along the road at the front of the cottages during the middle of the day. Whales, seals, otters and eagles entertained as always.
If possible, we'd like to get a jump on 2013 and book the same week for next year.

November 26, 2014
LONDON (AP) - The leader of Tokyo's bid for the 2020 Olympics has written to IOC members, trying to reassure them that the city is "completely unaffected" by the leak of radiation-contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Tsunekazu Takeda says in the letter that life is "completely normal and safe" in Tokyo and the city's air and water are not affected by the leak from the crippled plant.
A copy of the letter, dated Aug. 27, was obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
The letter comes just days ahead of Saturday's IOC vote on the 2020 host city in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Tokyo, long considered a slight favorite, is competing against Madrid and Istanbul.

When It's About Money: Don't just save for your child's education
India Infoline News Service / 08:59, Sep 15, 2014
Many a times parents overlook other goals as they are too busy focusing on just one goal, that is on their child's education. They are too emotionally involved in achieving this particular goal that they forget planning for their retirement and saving for other emergencies.

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - Wyoming law officers expect an increase in marijuana arrests now that recreational use of the drug is legal in the neighboring state of Colorado.
Shops opened for business in a handful of Colorado cities Wednesday.
The sheriff of Albany County, Wyo., which borders Colorado, tells the Laramie Daily Boomerang that marijuana arrests surged after Colorado approved medical marijuana in 2000. He says he expects a similar boost now.
Highway Patrol Sgt. Stephen Townsend says he too expects more marijuana traffic on southern Wyoming highways.
Possession of less than three ounces of marijuana in Wyoming is punishable by a year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. For more than three ounces, the sentence is up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Freight volume at New York's Kennedy International Airport grew 31.6 in April over last year's depressed figures, but the cargo business also showed signs that the recovery has peaked, according to figures released by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The airport's international freight volume was down 5.1 percent from March to April, and tonnage for domestic and international freight at New York JFK were still below the figures the airport reported in the same month two years ago.
International freight tonnage, which makes up about 80 percent of the East Coast gateway's cargo, grew 35.6 percent in April compared to the same month last year, while domestic freight was up 18.2 percent.
For the first four months of 2010, freight volume at Kennedy was 23.1 percent better than the same period last year, a period that included the depths of the trade downturn that cut deeply into air freight demand.
JFK's freight volume was down about 20 percent, however, compared to the first four months of 2008.

Well, hello boys! London Collections: Men kicked into action on Sunday with our favourite male models and dapper stars taking to the runways, front rows and parties. We saw a dose of Hollywood in the shape of Margot Robbie and a certain actor's son on the catwalk, while Lindsay Lohan also hit the scene, and funky hair as well as functional accessories popped up in the collections. Fret not if you missed a morsel - just read on for all the menswear highlights (so far) and see all the starry attendees in the gallery above...
Burberry debuts multi-coloured Pharrell hats
The Burberry extravanganza was as gorgeous as ever with the likes of Jourdan Dunn and David Gandy (in a swanky white suit) perched on the front row and a colourfully painted catwalk. As for the collection itself, Christopher Bailey was inspired by "Book covers and Bruce Chatwin," referring to the English novelist and travel writer who loved an adventure. Cashmere, cotton, and leather were covered in hand-painted motifs and illustrations inspired by vintage book covers. We loved the oversized leather-bound notebooks carried like clutch bags, but it was the headwear that got Instagram buzzing. The bucket hats came in a spectrum of colours and we have our bets on Pharrell snapping up every single one. Watch the full show here.
Hollywood offspring on the DKNY catwalk
On Sunday, DKNY MEN presented their SS15 collection with real people and models alike taking to the runway - and there was one Hollywood actor's son who caught our eye. 'Cutie Rafferty Law is walking for #dknymen tonight! Hope daddy is a proud papa!' DKNY PR girl (aka: Aliza Licht) trilled on Instagram last night. Yes, Jude Law's 17-year-old son and model-in-the-making popped up at DKNY looking super-cool, cementing his place amid the London fashpack. Also excitingly, Eliza Cummings was the only woman in the show, joining the boys looking gorgeously androgynous and showing off her punky cropped hair.
The boys hit the FROW
As well as the catwalk action, LC:M brings us some top notch front row action. Fashion's finest polished their brogues and pulled on their sharpest suits with the starriest line up yet coming courtesy of Superdry. Jesse Metcalfe with his lady friend Cara Santana and Josephine de la Baume with Mark Ronson crammed onto the VIP seats at the show on Sunday. Naturallement, David Gandy was also in attendance while Nick Grimshaw has already put in plenty of appearances as part of his new role as LC:M ambassador.

Festival essentials from Superdry
Speaking of the Superdry extravanganza, we're desperate to get these fuss-free numbers into our festival wardrobe. The sports-casual collection featured thigh-skimming shorts, tie-dye T-shirts and rucksacks perfect for this summery weather.

Moschino spoofs Hermès and Louis Vuitton
The fashpack had been waiting on tenterhooks for Jeremy Scott's first-ever menswear show for Moschino so it was no surprise that the space was crammed with guests, many of who had to stand around the seats to get a peek. The collection included what we love most about "Fauxschino", with Macdonalds references being replaced by the trademarks of Louis Vuitton and Hermès. Scott's tongue-in-cheek signature also popped up courtesy of smiley faces printed on bomber jackets and glittering gold slogans reading MO$CHINO.
The boys embrace the crop top trend
DKNY Men throw a fabulous party
Esquire and DKNY hosted the official opening night party, transforming One Embankment in London into a New York cityscape complete with a wooden catwalk. The fun kicked off with a DJ set from Nick Grimshaw who got guests - we're talking Mollie King, Lindsay Lohan and Jourdan Dunn - dancing while sipping on Peroni Piccola and Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve cocktails.
Hair goes funky
LC:M is guaranteed to throw up a few shockers and this year, it was the hair-dos that got the FROW gawping. The model army at Christopher Shannon showcased twisted locks teamed with multi-coloured sunnies while we saw a variety of spiky fringes at Nicomede Talavera. Not sure we'd like to see our boyfriends rocking these 'dos on a Saturday night though...

Jeremy Piven does the splits
None other than Samuel L Jackson arrived in town to host One For The Boys Fashion Ball, a cancer charity gala held at London's Natural History Museum. The event pulled in donations as Simon Pegg, Lewis Hamilton and David Walliams strutted their stuff on the catwalk, Zooalander style. But it was Jeremy Piven throwing some impressive shapes that had the crowd hooting. Check out those flexi moves!

Margot Robbie brings the glam
Adding an extra dollop of Hollywood hotness to the proceedings was Margot Robbie who joined Samuel L Jackson at the gala. Hats off to her for going gorgeously girlie in a silk top and asymmetric skirt covered in a blue lotus flower print from Vionnet's Spring Summer 2014 collection.

Brilliantly bonkers accessories
We saw fisherman hats with built in visor sunglasses at YMC while Christopher Raeburn incorporated backpacks into khaki jackets. Nifty and functional or way too wacky? We think a little bit of both.

Nicholas Kirkwood gets colourful
Now on his fourth season, Nicholas Kirkwood's signature aesthetic is fast developing. His considered attention to clean lines, unusual colour combinations and unexpected fabrication equalled a sharp and refined collection with a summery spin. It featured four key men's silhouettes - the derby, oxford, loafer and the men's sandal - in a range of colours including blush pink and mint green accented by taupe, red, black, white and blue. What's more, a short film was projected onto ginormous screens in the space to celebrate the presentation. Yes please.

November 24, 2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Danica Patrick slid into her chair at NASCAR media day Thursday and promptly informed her audience she'd only answer racing-related questions.
Then she proceeded to talk candidly about her relationship with fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The two confirmed in January they are dating, and the duo will be competing against each other this year for Sprint Cup rookie of the year.
Patrick says the relationship started as a friendship but grew deeper as she often turned to the two-time Nationwide Series champion for racing advice. She joked she bugged him recently to officially ask her on a date, and said she'd be cooking for him for Valentine's Day.
Patrick announced in November she was splitting with her husband after seven years. She officially filed for divorce in January.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed outfielder Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list with a dislocated right hip and recalled pitchers Chaz Roe and Tyler Skaggs from Triple-A Reno.
Arizona also optioned right-hander Zeke Spruill to Reno.
Ross was carted off the field after stumbling while running to first base in the first inning of Arizona's 9-5 loss to the New York Mets on Sunday. He was hitting .278 with eight homers and 38 RBIs in his first season with the Diamondbacks.
Skaggs was 2-3 with a 5.35 ERA with Arizona before being sent down on July 27.
Roe was 1-0 with a 5.79 ERA in four appearances over two stints with Arizona earlier this season.
Spruill was 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA in six games with the Diamondbacks.

There are different kinds of fasting. In some fasting it does not mean that one has to remain hungry. It can involve just giving up certain kinds of foods eg cereals, salt, garlic, etc. It is kind of a sacrifice of certain food items.Answered by Vikram, 03 Nov '11 11:41 am

San Francisco may soon join Seattle in becoming the next major city to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
A proposal to raise the minimum wage from the current $10.74 per hour to $15 per hour by July 2018 will be put before San Francisco voters in November under a deal announced by the mayor and the city's board of supervisors on Tuesday.
The move comes a week after Seattle's city council voted unanimously for a similar minimum wage hike with a phase-in plan over the next seven years.
• Seattle to raise hourly minimum wage to $15
• Federal minimum wage increase blocked in Senate
• More restaurant government news
Seattle's wage hike is the target of a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the International Franchise Association and five franchise operators, who argued that the law illegally discriminates against smaller franchised businesses.
Under Seattle's plan, the wage would go into effect for businesses with 500 or more employees by 2017, with an additional year to reach that rate if they provide health care.
Smaller businesses will have to reach the $15 per hour wage within seven years, though they will be allowed exemptions for some tips and health care benefits for up to 11 years.
The IFA's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, contends that the Seattle statute will unfairly require franchisees to meet the earlier deadline for the wage hike because they are considered large businesses as part of a franchise network, rather than independent business owners.
In San Francisco, however, the proposed wage hike does not differentiate by size of business.
San Francisco has been a leader in increasing its minimum wage since 2004, when a wage hike to $8.50 per hour became the highest in the nation.
San Francisco mayor Edwin Lee described the proposal as a consensus measure supported by labor groups along with the city's chamber of commerce.
"San Francisco is the most progressive city in America when it comes to addressing income inequality, and we are national leaders in our support of working families and low-wage earners," Lee said, in a statement. "Working with Supervisor Jane Kim and the entire board of supervisors; large and small businesses; other employers, nonprofits, labor groups and those who represent working families, we are going to help our lowest paid workers by bringing a fair and responsible consensus measure to increase the minimum wage to voters."
The proposed measure would raise the city's minimum wage gradually to $11 per hour on Jan. 1, 2015; to $12.25 per hour by May 1, 2015; $13 per hour by July 1, 2016; $14 per hour by July 1, 2017; and $15 per hour by July 1, 2018.
A capped rate at $12.25 would be applied to youth trainees and senior subsidized workers. The wage hike would also allow for Consumer Price Index adjustments.
Under the deal, labor leaders agreed to drop an effort to raise the rate to $15 an hour by 2017, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Gwyneth Borden, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, said she was very disappointed in the measure that will be before voters.
The association had been lobbying for slower implementation of the wage hike to alleviate the impact on small businesses, along with an exemption for tipped workers.
In addition, the GGRA had pushed for a total compensation calculation that would have given credit to employers who provide the required health care and sick leave benefits — similar to the way the minimum wage increase is structured in Seattle.
"This minimum wage proposal is void of the solutions proposed by the business community; it's merely a compromise between the mayor and organized labor," Borden said. "It is extremely frustrating when those most impacted by these laws are not part of the decision; even more so, as labor has collective bargaining agreements, so the minimum wage really doesn't apply to them — just our members toiling to make ends meet."
Pete Sittnick, managing partner of San Francisco restaurants Epic Roasthouse and Waterbar and chair of the GGRA's board, noted that it's not unusual for tipped workers to make more than $30 per hour in San Francisco, a vibrant city for dining out.
The minimum wage hike would further distance those tipped workers from back-of-the-house employees, Sittnick said.
"Increasing wages for tipped workers exacerbates income inequality in the restaurant industry," he said.

A motoquest tour of Hokkado, Japan's northern most island was the perfect location for testing our new Horizon rain jacket.

THE 10 councillors who walked out of the Labour party amid an ongoing row have joined forces with another group.
Leader of Wrexham Council Cllr Neil Rogers was among the 10 to split from the previously 23-strong Labour group on Wednesday, throwing the future of the council's leadership into question.
But the Leader can reveal today Cllr Rogers and his fellow ex-Labour members have formed a new group with the Democratic Independents, led by council deputy leader Mark Pritchard.
Cllr Pritchard said no decision had yet been taken on who would lead the new group.
He said: "A decision was made last night that the ex-Labour councillors will be join us to form a new group of 20.
"No decision has been taken on the leadership of the group and we are open to other groups who want to come in to talk to us.
"The most important thing is that we form a new administration and move forward for the future of Wrexham and the people of Wrexham."
Cllr Pritchard added a decision over who would lead the new group would be taken shortly.
The move comes ahead of a full council meeting on September 24, where the political make up of the executive board and any potential changes to the leadership of the council are expected to be ratified.

Not really any color like picture shown, just looks black.
I was really disappointed with this purchase. Color in the picture is compleatly different from the actual product. It's completely black and there is no shine to it. I lost money with this purchase, because I had to pay to ship it back.
This statue is beautiful. After looking at so many different styles and faces, this was the one. The face is perfect and beautiful. The color is unique and the size perfect. We have it in our garden by the pond and it just adds that much more tranquility. It is a lot lighter then I expected, but that is okay, it won't blow over or go anywhere. We are very happy we came across this one, because it is the one.
Gave this as an anniversary gift for our children. They love it! I thought it would go in the garden and they have it in the living room. It has a rich deep color. Well worth the money.
We chose this Buddha after looking at several because of the size, color, and price. He's a perfect fit for our home. So glad we ordered it.
I am not Buddhist .. but am very spiritual. I find the Buddha very calming .. very peaceful .. very serene in my sometimes crazy busy world! I bought one originally for my terrace .. LOVE looking out as we eat to see the serenity of my Buddha .. it calms me. That being so .. I decided to get one for my bedroom! Why not be serene just before bedtime .. be reminded of what is lovely and wonderful in life .. NOT the few things that ,may interfere with serenity .. let those things go .. after all HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE!
Lovely piece. Very good value for the money. I collect antique Buddhas but do have some non-antique ones in places where they could potentially be damaged. This one was selected to grace my master bath vanity where I wanted a darker Buddha to accent the quartz countertop and add a note of serenity to the area. This one fit the bill exactly and I won't have to worry if it gets an occasional splash from the sink. The color and draping of the robes is reminiscent of the EDO era Buddhas without the $** or greater pricetag.
Looks like it is carved out of wood and then stained. The details are excellent and I just love the look. I'm very pleased!
Our item arrived and is as advertised and as we expected. We experienced a shipping snag we reported to Overstock. We're satisfied with the response we obtained on the issue.
this is not only a review for my new fish pond buddha. I know the koi love it and it just looks beautiful, but better than that is the great service Overstock.com has given me. My first buddha arrived broken..I didn't have to send back the broken one..I didn't have to prove it was broken, no paperwork. I called overstock & they sent me a new buddha. Easy breezy. This is my new favorite store. Thank you Overstock for great service!

Let This Be A Warning America: When the Riots Start the Government's Response Will Be Brutal *Video*Submitted by emalvini on Tue, 10/09/2012 - 09:01
Let This Be A Warning America: When the Riots Start the Government's Response Will Be Brutal *Video*
Mac Slavo
October 8th, 2012
Last week, when hundreds of thousands of people in Madrid, Barcelona and throughout Spain protested, rioted, rebelled and called for the forced resignation of every one of their parliamentary representatives and the formation of a new government, the silence from global mainstream media was deafening.
With jobless rates for those between the ages of 20 and 35 exceeding 50%, further social spending measures promised by the government, and tens of billions in handouts being transferred to large financial institutions in the broader Euro Zone, those impoverished by the economic collapse of the last four years would not be silenced.
They took the streets in droves. They rushed their parliament building, forcing representatives to barricade themselves inside. They confronted their government head on.
And for their transgressions, they were indiscriminately fired upon, beaten, and bloodied by riot police; men, women, young, old, it mattered not to the policing arm of the global elite.

Most 'Americans' are unable to protest
Watching TV and watch others do it is way more interesting, because you have the couch and fridge nearby.
A whole nation well brainwashed. Maybe after losing 100 pounds and real hunger is coming, maybe, maybe then some will get up and do something.
Of course then it will be too late as you would be even weaker then now.
yea...I lived in
Europe for two years...Euro-peons are pacifist and they are unarmed. I expect American's will behave much differently.
when americans riot
Not only should they bring their guns, they should bring Tasers, Riot Shields, Metal Baseball bats, Gas Masks and Bullet proof vests (or equivalent to hockey Armour).
You know the other side will have all that or the equivalent, so Go prepared for once...

It's essential viewing. All of the promise of last season looks to be realized with impressively deft storytelling, beautiful cinematography and impeccable acting.
Boardwalk Empire is doing what I wish Prohibition had done--it's tempting me to stick around for one more.
With season two, the drama has fully come to life, with moments of savagery, hypocrisy, and bittersweet loyalty that make it a must-see show.
If there are rare moments in Boardwalk Empire that do pay off (the story of Jimmy's mother has some sick kick this season), it's hard to feel the stakes, beyond the catharsis of the show's bi-weekly throat slashings.
It has the advantage of a veritable galaxy of stars at its disposal, but all that sparkle too often comes together as a gaudy mess.
Boardwalk Empire loses sight of neither the large nor the small pictures as it moves into season two.
Despite all the attention to detail, or maybe because of it, Boardwalk Empire is a slog. For long periods of time, it's boring, glum, bloodless slog.
"Men," of course, remains the King of the Emmys, while Empire nailed the equally prestigious Golden Globe for best drama last winter. But Sunday begins to build the case for Empire, and build it convincingly.
While there are many extraordinary moments in the new season, there's still enough inconsistency that I'm still waiting for it to become the classic drama it so clearly has the tools to be.
The show doesn't just go down smoothly; it's good to the last illicit, intoxicating drop.
It's time to pick a side, and I'm on whichever one the dude with half a face chooses.
Boardwalk is still solid, but it's sacrificed some of its nervy power. [10 Oct 2011, p.40]

Nov 25, 2012Season 1= A wonderful, engaging plot. Character development that keeps you interested in whats going to happen to each of them. And pacing that keeps the story moving forward at just the right speed. Season 2= Less in every category. The plot doesn't seem to know where it wants to go. The characters seem to be becoming ever-less interesting as each episode arrives. And the story just doesn't move forward with nearly enough 'umph'. Things happen, but slowly, and really not very interesting things at that. The main characters are becoming less and less relate-able and continuously more annoying. The premise of prohibition-era alcohol-bootleggers battling it out for turf in a budding Atlantic City is awesome, but somehow the writers of the show are managing to snuff out the huge possibilities that could exist here, and that I thought would exist after I had watched a really well-done season 1.… Full Review »
