Once again, nightmare tornadoes have destroyed homes, businesses, and lives across central and southern America. Piles of debris are all that remain of homes and lifetimes of memories. In the initial hours and days following such a disaster, what do you do? Where do you start when everything has been lost?
In a crisis, it's easy to lose perspective and fear causes us to, quite literally, not think clearly. A "To Do" list is needed. Here are a few tips from my book.
- You need help! Check to see if a relative or a friend can provide temporary housing for your family. This is no time to be proud. You need help, and your true friends will be more than willing to do anything they can to help.
- If a Red Cross or FEMA shelter isn't an option, you'll have to stay in a hotel or a tent. If you're a timeshare owner, this might be a good time to use up some of those banked weeks!
- Access your important documents in your Grab-n-Go Binder, or the one you have stored with a trusted friend, and begin to contact your insurance companies.
- Quickly access any funds you have in your banking account(s). Remember, in an emergency "Cash is King!" If the power is out, chances are that your debit and credit cards will be useless, and vendors may not be willing to accept checks.

Eliza Pearson, the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Cowdray, is pictured with her new husband Ned RocknRoll after their open-air pagan wedding ceremony on Saturday in the grounds of Cowdray Park.
Ned is the 31-year-old nephew of Sir Richard Branson who works on his uncle's space venture, Virgin Galactic, and recently changed his name by deed poll from Ned Abel Smith.
Sir Richard was at the ceremony.
The sun shone on the couple for their unusual wedding, led by the druid JJ Middleway, under the avenue of wellingtonia trees near Lord and Lady Cowdray's meditation pyramid in their garden
The ceremony, attended by around 70 family members, involved nature and the four elements, earth, wind, fire and water, combined with the points of the compass, north, south, east and west.
Eliza, who becomes the Hon Eliza RocknRoll, helped to design her wedding dress. All the men wore tails with flamboyant trousers

James H. Sands
Rear Admiral James Hoban Sands (12 July 1845 – 26 October 1911) was an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War and eventually became Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy. Son of Rear Admiral Benjamin F. Sands, he was born in Washington, D.C. in 1845. Sands was appointed Acting Midshipman in the United States Naval Academy on 25 November 1859, and graduated in 1863 while the academy was still in Newport. During the American Civil War, he served in Tuscarora, Juniata, and Shenandoah and, in the years that followed, in USS Hartford and Richmond. He was part of the blockading fleet during the Civil War, which for a time was commanded by his father, and was present at the evacuation of Charleston; he also participated in both attacks on Fort Fisher, for which he was cited for gallantry in action, and twice recommended for promotion. Ordered to the Naval Observatory in 1869, he returned to sea duty on the Asiatic Station, a year and a half later. From October 1873 to April 1875, he served in the Hydrographic Office. Duty in Minnesota and Iroquois followed; and, in 1884, he returned to Washington, D.C., for duty at the Washington Navy Yard. During the  ( Wikipedia article )

Elektra 9 Series
Granted, these are my first pair of snowshoes, but I am quite pleased with them! I thought they perform well and I don't have the problem of snow being kicked up from the back. I've done just a little running with them so far, but hope to do more. All I remember about snowshoeing were those horrible wooden, tennis racket/boat things we wore in Phys Ed in junior high 30 years ago. Based on friends telling me I had to try it again and hoping to be able to try some snow shoe running or at least maintain… Full review
Elektra 12 Series
Fabric located near the big two position on both snowshoes is fraying/rubbing. Not sure what is causing this, but I am not happy. Full review
Elektra 9 Series
Terrible design. The open spaces in the back collect snow, and the suspension mechanism flips it up. I was soaked in less than 10 min. Also, the hard plastic binding is hard to fit when it's cold--it gets stiff and unruly. My husband has Tubbs and I used them without any snow flipping, and a very easy, comfortable fit around my boots. Would not recommend this product. Back to the drawing board, Atlas. Full review
8 Series
They don't 'drag' as snowshoes should; they snap up. They get snow up the back of my legs. this was the experience i had using these yesterday. I borrowed a friend's. Loved the straps and the ease of getting them on. But I am now looking for a pair of SS to buy and found this site. Looking for the same type of strap system but not this style. Full review
I've owned and used a pair of BC24 Atlas Snowshoes for about 4 seasons. I've been pretty rough in how I've been using them, yet the BC24 snowshoes are still in great condition. I mostly use them for ascending mountains in deep powder conditions. No complaints from me. Full review

review by Devon Torrey Bryant
Tiny Furniture 2010
Devon Torrey Bryant's review:
I think I'm supposed to hate movies like this, the drifty after college middle class angst movies, but I just don't. I've never seen Garden State, about which I am reasonably proud, but I do love The Graduate, I really liked Greenberg (the ultimate graduate), and I loved Tiny Furniture. I'm sure, if viewed from a certain angle, this could seem like an indie-gazing navel fest, but something in Lena Dunham's delivery of the scenario, her character, the mopey realism, really charmed me. I simply enjoyed this movie and I want to see her make more of them.
6 Comments
I felt the same way about Tiny Furniture. Was sure I'd hate it from the previews and synopsis, but ended up "charmed by the mopey realism" as you said. Looking forward to her HBO show "GIRLS".
Ah! I hadn't got around to Googling Ms. Dunham yet, didn't know she already had an HBO show in the pipeline, but I'm not surprised. Tiny Furniture did not feel like a first film, it was remarkably assured and charming to boot. If I was HBO I'd throw some money at her and leave her to get on with it. Color me a fan.
Garden State is a good film with a great soundtrack. There's no reason to be proud of NOT seeing it.
My issue with Garden State was its ubiquity at the time, also the way it was responsible for the overexposure of both New Slang and Only Living Boy In NY, both of which I grew quite weary of hearing at people's parties in the ensuing 7 or 8 years (I know, I know, cry me a river of #firstworldproblems, right?). Also Scrubs was only good for one season, so I was in no hurry to see Braff write direct and star in something that stole the name off of Rick Moody's first novel (which I've always loved). So I had my reasons. Really though it is starting to get a little silly, and I ought to give it its fair shake...I will report my findings at that time.
I have to say, in regards to Garden State, that there are a lot of things to like about that movie -- great cinematography, some quite funny moments, good soundtrack at the time -- but it really didn't hold up upon multiple viewings...
Every time I liked it a little bit less. I get the appeal and do admit to its strengths but I can't say that it's a great movie overall.
Really interesting comparison to The Graduate. Hadn't even occurred to me but really has an aptness to it.

|Club: World Fighting Bulls (Japan)

Solid and reliable performer for Fiji for the last six years – always brings his A game with him. Great line-out jumper and superb commitment around the park. Injured badly against Italy in 2006 but completed his rehab on time to make the Fiji team to the Rugby World Cup in France last year. Also earned winners medal with Fiji at 2005 RWC 7s in Hong Kong.
One of the biggest finds of 2002, Rawaqa was still 21 when he made his Test debut in the victory over Samoa in Apia.
After four matches as substitute, the lanky Lautoka lad made his first run-on start against Tonga in the 47-20 win at Prince Charles Park in Nadi, and celebrated with a well-worked try from 35 metres out when he raced onto a chip over the top from Seru Rabeni.
Rawaqa's light build makes him an ideal line-out jumper, but he is also equipped with speed to match most wingers. Injury saw him miss the 2003 early-season trials and thus he didn't feature in the warm-up matches in Australia or against Tonga.
When Api Naevo pulled up lame in the first match of the New Zealand tour last August, Rawaqa was called up and he didn't disappoint. He also led his provincial team Lautoka to both major trophies in Fiji in 2003 – the Telecom Fiji Cup and the Farebrother-Sullivan Trophy, which is a challenge competition a la Ranfuly Shield.
A back injury in late September 2003 nearly put paid to Rawaqa's chances at the World Cup, but he had a remarkable recovery.
Now playing for World in Japan, Rawaqa played an important role in Fiji's winning Pacific Tri-Nations 2005 team. Named as one of the five Players of the Year by Rakavi 2004.
Rawaqa proved that he also has pace to burn when he outran the Wales backline to score under the posts in what was so nearly a historical win for Fiji at Cardiff in 2005.
Also a member of Fiji's 2005 World Cup 7s squad and scored a crucial try in the semi-finals against England.
Fiji 7s:
2005 – Rugby World Cup 7s in Hong Kong
1997 – U19 Fiji School Secondary School trialist
1997 – Vuda Rugby Club, Lautoka
1997-2003 – Lautoka - Telecom Fiji Cup and Farebrother winners 2003
2004-07 – World (Japan)
Likes: Watching movies and rugby, picnics, visiting friends and attending Sunday services
Best rugby memory: when i first sang the national anthem in apia against Samoa. I cant stop the tears
Funniest rugby memory: When one of my team-mates was slapped by the ref during a club game

Nobody knows what's on the board?
Only thing is, two players are in the middle of being all-in.
In nearly 10 years of playing poker I have never seen this happen. We flew into San Diego for the funeral of my wife's grandmother and were staying up the road at Solana Beach. Equidistant between this poker room and San Diego's Palomar, the temptation was too great not to play in the evenings. Especially during President's Day weekend.
So anyway, the older blonde woman in the three seat goes all-in on the turn. The five seat folds. The guy in the Sham (9) seat starts thinking about it and while he's doing that, the dealer starts to flip over the board to muck it.
While the dealer is doing that, the dude in the Sham seat says, "all-in."
So everyone at the entire table is just staring blankly at the felt while the supervisor comes over.
The dealer explains what happened. But neither he nor anyone else seems to remember what was on the board -- including the people who decided to push all their chips on the middle BECAUSE OF THE CARDS ON THE BOARD.
Normally I won't say a word in this kind of situation, especially if I'm not in the middle of it. But the incredibleness of this is just too much to bear.
So I go, "Wasn't the board K,8,7?"
And then everyone says yes. The dealer starts to remember it. The players start to remember it. Then the dealer starts to flip over cards. A,A. A, T.
It's clear he is not sure where his mucked board is.
Um, it's over there, I point.
He flips it over. Sure enough, it's a K, 8, 7 flop.
The supervisor asks the two all-in players if they agree that's how the board is. They do.
Play ball.
A 4 comes on the turn with a blank on the river. The blonde shows AKo for top pair, top kicker. The Sham seat turns over 56o for a straight. The chips go to him and the universe seems to be righted again.
For jest, I say: "Who mucked their aces?" lololol

At the turn of the 20th century modernism was on the rise, and realism and traditional drawing skills were threatened with eclipse as abstract painting became the darling of the avant-garde.
In 1919 students and teachers in the etching class at London's Central School of Arts and Crafts formed a breakaway group to establish a society that would 'uphold and maintain the interests of all those forms of art that do not use colour as a form of expression'; which was another way of saying that drawing counts and, in one form or another, always will.
Their first exhibition in 1921 was supported by members of the Royal Academy of Arts, together with many of the leading draughtsmen of the day. Thus the Society of Graphic Art was born (the word "Fine" was incorporated into the Society's name some 65 years later). Sir Frank Brangwyn RA RE, the renowned muralist, painter, architect, illustrator and designer, became the Society's first President in a line of distinguished leaders that continues today.
Both Ronald Searle and the painter-printmaker John Piper exhibited with the society. Royal Academician Dame Laura Knight was one of the Society's prominent past members. Honorary members today include Royal Academician Prof Ken Howard OBE and the award-winning illustrator Victor Ambrus.
Nowadays in addition to black and white work and traditional drawing skills, the society encourages the use of colour and non-figurative art. The main criterion of membership, regardless of media discipline, is drawing excellence.
Society Members are pleased to undertake commissions. Please send details of your request by post or by email to

State of Virginia
State Flag: ( click here - for enlarged view)
A deep blue field contains the seal of Virginia with the Latin motto " Sic Semper Tyrannis" - "Thus Always to Tyrants". Adopted in 1776. The two figures are acting out the meaning of the motto. Both are dressed as warriors. The woman, Virtue, represents Virginia. The man holding a scourge and chain shows that he is a tyrant. His fallen crown is nearby.
State Seal:
Roman mythology defines the unique Great Seal of Virginia. The obverse of the seal features the Roman goddess Virtus standing over a defeated opponent. Virtus is dressed in Amazonian garb, and holds a spear and a sheathed sword. She represents the virtues of heroism, righteousness, freedom, and valor. She stands in a classical victor's pose over a fallen tyrannical foe, whose crown lies on the ground. The state's motto "Sic Semper Tyrannis" ("Thus Always to Tyrants") appears at the lower edge. The seal was approved at Virginia's 1776 Constitutional Convention, and the principal designer is said to have been George Wythe. A committee composed of Wythe, George Mason, Robert Carter Nicholas, and Richard Henry Lee collaborated on the design. In 1930 another committee was charged with standardizing the seal's design because of all the variations that came into use over the years. What the committee approved was basically adopting the 1776 seal as the standard. In 1949, another standard was implemented, when Virginia's Art Commission defined the official color scheme for the seal.
State Nickname:
The "Old Dominion State"... Charles II of England quartered the arms of Virginia on his shield in 1663, thus adding Virginia to his dominions of France, Ireland and Scotland. Called the "Mother State" because it was the first state to be colonized.

Speed 1
Enjoy Bollywood movie Speed Trailer.
What do you do when you get a phone call from a stranger begging you to save her life? What would you do if your only ray of hope is your phone? Would you sacrifice your love to save somebody's child?
Speed answers these questions in a dramatic way. It's a great mix of mystery, action and comedy, on the beautiful backdrop of London.

November 7 - November 23, 2014
Entertaining features, documentaries, and shorts from around the globe.
A Vacation from Ordinary Film.
The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is Florida's most storied and traveled motion picture event in the Southeast United States.
Since 2006, FLIFF has programmed free outdoor films for the residents and tourists of Hollywood, Florida. The relationship grew from screenings of 100 in Anniversary Park to grand outdoor screenings in ArtsPark. Now in our fifth year, the City of Hollywood's Community Redevelopment Agency has engaged FLIFF to create a year-round indoor cinema on the restored Harrison Street area.
Cinema Paradiso - Hollywood (CPH) opened on October 19, 2013. The 72 seat arthouse is located at 2008 Hollywood Boulevard and is open 7 days a week. CPH's Facebook page is Cinema Paradiso - Hollywood. Although their daily schedule can be found listed on our main movie-phone line (954-525-FILM)...CPH's direct number is 954-342-9137.Parking is free in Downtown Hollywood on the street for the first 3 hours...or park beginning at 5pm for free all night. CPH serves beer & wine.
FLIFF programs and assists The Amelia Island Film Society and has done so since 2008. In 2011, FLIFF provided the major films for the event including Opening, Centerpiece and Closing along with the filmmakers for each.
Since 2007, FLIFF has presented free outdoor screenings for families in the Bay Harbor Islands. The series runs from January - May and attracts a multitude of movie-goers.
Also since 2008, FLIFF has assisted in a major way providing programming assistance to DBFF.
The City of Fort Lauderdale has partnered with FLIFF many times over the years. In 2009, in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of WHERE THE BOYS ARE, The City came to FLIFF and invited us to be the lead organization in, what was to become, THE GREAT AMERICAN BEACH PARTY. The event took place Memorial Day weekend 2010 directly on the beach and A1A. The road was closed off to traffic. period cars were displayed on A1A. Hula Hoop contests, sand castle contests, 50's & 60's retro bands...food, bikinis and sun! Then at 7:45pm, Connie Francis took the stage and not missing a beat since 1960, wowed the crowd with her enthusiasm, stage pressence, personality and...singing! It was great. Followed by FLIFF showing a free screening on the beach of WHERE THE BOYS ARE. The event was such a success, Fort Lauderdale decided to make it an annual affair. Come'on back on saturday, May 28, 2011 when we present Elvis in GIRL HAPPY, set in Fort Lauderdale in 1965.
Also in 2011, Fort Lauderdale turns 100 years old, and the City has contracted with FLIFF to present montages of Fort Lauderdale's history on various buildings around town. You've heard of Drive-In Movies...this is Drive-By Movies!
In the Fall of 2010, FLIFF had programmed a film entitled BENEATH THE BLUE, which centered on dolphin research. The film was shot on Grand Bahama Island. Bonnie Leigh Adams, Senior programmer thought it might be interesting to bring the film to GBI for a screening and did so on November 8, 2010. The response and reception was overwhelming. FLIFF has since partnered with the Bahama Ministry of Tourism to prepare for FLIFF On-Location Grand Bahama Island presented at Pelican Bay Resort.
In 2007, FLIFF launched a Dinner & A Movie Series at Gypsy Cab Restaurant. The series benefitted the St John's Cultural Council. In 2009, Flagler College in downtown St Augustine, contact FLIFF representatives to launch the 1st Annual Flagler College Film Festival in October of 2010. Now, renamed The St Augustine Film Festival, the event will have its 2nd Annual run January 19 - 22, 2012.
FLIFF contacted the Weston Arts Council with an idea in 2004. Help us create a seasonal foreign film series. The Arts Council loved the idea and the series has been a huge and profitable hit. Running November - march, the series presents two screenings of a foreign film each month at The Weston Cinemas.
Over the years, FLIFF has brought the magic of movies throughout the state, including:
Boca Raton
Coconut Grove
Coral Gables
Deerfield Beach
Fort Myers
IntraCoastal Waterway
Key West
Lauderdale By The Sea
Miami Beach
North Bay Village
Oakland Park
Palm Beach
Pembroke Pines
Pompano Beach

Elizabeth Banks was also good.I also like the fact that the director included a Deaf character in a small role. You dont see that many actors with disabilities or impairments on the screen in a normal role.Then ending was good, the only downside being that it just didnt seem to know when to end, but the little stop starts at the end was still done well.So to sum up, the film interesting all the way through, even though it could have done with a 15 min trim to make things a little tighter.

Are You the Sexiest Vegetarian Alive?
Other than me, of course. The reason I ask is that PETA is holding a competition to find the hottest vegetarian "boys and girls next door," and this year, we're sending the winners to Hawaii. We already have some pretty damn good-looking entrants, but there's still time (just 4 more days) to submit yourself or one of your vegetarian friends for consideration. On January 30, we'll narrow the pool down to 10 male and 10 female finalists, and open up the site for voting in February. PETA's International Sexiness Manager Christopher Holbein—whose finely honed hotness detector is legendary in animal rights circles—will be coordinating the judging committee, which means that you can be assured of a fair and accurate assessment. As a PETA employee, I'm excluded from consideration—so dudes, don't be shy about entering yourself or your friends, as there's actually a chance you might win.

What a fantastic idea! I think that compassion is one of the sexiest attributes a person can posess. Let's celebrate it!!
jojo Thanks for your reply. I'm french but now in Japan. Well I'll check the uk site of peta when I'll go back to Europe this fall…
i am from mexico and i am sexy and vegeterian why can not i be considered?
PG i think PETA's international affiliates hold their own contests. So if you're in europe for instance keep checking peta.org.uk for their version.
Hello. I've just read your blog. I went to the "contest" page. I may not be the "sexiest vegetarian vegan" alive but just wanted to do it . Anyway too bad it's just for people living in Canada and US. I think that if you'd admit the whole world it would be hard to manage… But next time do it please.

An American who arrived in Bermuda this week on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Dawn is facing an unusually hefty fine of $10,000 after allegedly being caught with marijuana in his cabin, according to several local news outlets.
The Bermuda Sun today reports that James Butter, 58, of Massachusetts, has pleaded guilty in Bermuda's Magistrates' Court to importing 23.45 grams of cannabis on Oct. 16.
The Sun says Bermuda customs officers using sniffer dogs discovered the marijuana in Butter's cabin during a search of the ship, and Butter, who was off the ship at the time, was arrested when he returned. The drugs have a street value in Bermuda of more than $1,000, it says.
The news outlet says a lawyer representing Butter told the court he used the drugs as a pain reliever for a medical condition and had no intention of taking them off the ship in Bermuda.

RELATED: Bermuda jails cruiser caught smuggling drugs
Bermuda is known for tough anti-drug laws, and its customs officers routinely search arriving cruise ships looking for drugs. Still, while passengers occassionally are caught with marijuana and fined by Bermuda's courts, it's rare for the penalty to go as high as $10,000. Several other cases of cruisers being caught with marijuana in Bermuda in recent years have brought fines of $1,500 to $3,000.

We have built a Joomla site (with Joomla 3.1) for a client a while ago.
The website worked fine until I checked it today and for some reason, when you click on Contact page (with Google Maps by Reumer) I get this error.
Error: 500 – String could not be parsed as XML
It turned out be that Google have changed their Google maps API. The Joomla site is using the googlemaps plugin (mosmap) v 2.18. This does not work with the new API. After updating the new plugin with following steps, everyone is back to normal.
1. Install the new version 3.1. Note: This is a new plugin, it does not replace the version 2.x plugin!
2. Do not open the plugin configuration! First you need to enable the new system plugin called "System – Google Map" in the list of plugins by clicking the red dot in the status column. This is the only way to copy all your parameters from the old plugin to the new one!
3. After enabling the plugin in the correct way you can check if the settings of the old plugin are copied correctly by opening the new plugin configuration settings.
4. After that you can disable the old system plugin called "Google Map"
Happy coding!

Porsha spoke with HollywoodLife.com on the Bravo blue carpet on April 3 and she revealed which fellow 'Housewife' has been supporting her through her tough divorce battle with Kordell Stewart.
Porsha Stewart appeared strong and happy, despite Kordell Stewart filing for divorce on March 21. HollywoodLife.com spoke to her at the Bravo upfront and she told us how she's doing, and her enemy Kenya Moore reveals how she REALLY feels about Porsha's divorce.
Porsha's First Interview Since Kordell Filed For Divorce
Porsha told us: "Absolutely, absolutely, everyone has reached out to me. Nene Leakes has been so close to me at this time. [She's] just making sure I'm okay and I appreciate it for sure."
This is great to hear and we're here to support the reality star too!
Just a few weeks ago Porsha was at our offices and she said that things with Kordell were going great.
"Well I don't have a problem with a man having an opinion," she told us. "If you're a man, I need to know where you are leading our family. And I love that about him and along the way, there are some things I agree with and some things I don't. As long as he can respect my opinion and let me woo him into what I want."
Porsha's Co-Stars Speak Out
We also spoke with Kenya, who is Porsha's main enemy on the show. She told us what she thought about the divorce: "We never want to see anyone in pain. Even though it's no secret we've had our differences. I just never want to see anyone in pain. So for me, I wish her well and hope she can get past this … whatever she's going through."
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Are you impressed that Kenya and Nene have been there for Porsha?

The Ideal Solution for LCD Viewing
Shoot in Bright Light
Blocks sun and bright light to prevent harsh reflections and glare when shooting while viewing your camera's LCD screen. Spring-loaded shade pops up to shield your LCD screen from bright lights and easily folds down for easy portability. Perfect for use with cameras without viewfinders, including those with touch screens!
*Not intended for use with widescreen format LCD screens. Please check your screen's dimensions before purchase.*
Superior Screen Protection
Slide-on design allows you to easily remove or attach the shade to your screen without fear of damaging the screen. Provides extra protection to your camera, especially when it is not in a protective case. Great for outdoor sporting events and professional photography.
Three-step Installation
1) Take off the adhesive strip on the shade frame and carefully stick it around the screen of your camera. 2) Place the adhesive screen protector on the LCD screen and smooth it out with the included squeegee to not leave bubbles. 3) Simply connect the shade by sliding it onto the shade, which snaps for a secure connection.
Shade Dimensions: 2.5"W x 1.8"H x 3" diagonal

Match report

Charlie Adam netted the winner for a second successive Britannia Stadium fixture as Stoke City beat Fulham 1-0 to extend their good run of Barclays Premier League home form. The impressive Adam turned and finished from close range in the 26th minute to register his second goal as a Stoke player.
His first was the decisive strike in the previous home match, the 1-0 win over QPR on November 10, and Stoke are unbeaten in 13 games on their own turf in the league stretching back to February.
Tony Pulis' side, who were the better team overall and nearly had another goal when Ryan Shawcross headed against the bar, have three victories to their name this season and are up to 11th in the table on 16 points. Fulham, meanwhile, stay ninth and are now winless in their last five games.
In driving rain, it was the visitors who made the brighter start, with Giorgos Karagounis lashing an effort across goal and wide after two minutes. There was a shaky moment soon after for Stoke as goalkeeper Asmir Begovic misread a back-pass but the ball was cleared away and the home side began to settle down.
Robert Huth headed wide from Matthew Etherington's corner on the quarter hour-mark and Stoke continued to pressure, with Adam sending the ball over after juggling it in the area. Moments later the Scotland midfielder scored, taking one touch in the six-yard box, when Peter Crouch headed Ryan Shotton's cross his way, before swivelling and firing the ball in.
The hosts kept up the momentum as Glenn Whelan tried his luck from the edge of the area, drilling wide, and Shawcross almost made it 2-0 in the 36th minute when he clattered a header against the bar. Fulham immediately broke forward, with Mladen Petric coming to meet a cross into the box but was unable to finish and Dimitar Berbatov then saw a delivery into the danger zone scrambled away.
Stoke looked eager to wrap things up as the second half got under way and seconds after the restart Whelan scooped an effort over from Jon Walters' tee-up. Their opponents also had chances: Karagounis ballooned over and Steve Sidwell dived to connect with an Ashkan Dejagah cross, only for the ball to skim harmlessly off his head.
There was a scare for Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, who dropped a high ball but smothered it before anyone could pounce. Adam saw an effort deflect wide and Schwarzer tipped away a header by Huth from an Etherington corner, before Shawcross nodded off target.
Fulham survived a scramble in the area after a Schwarzer punch and went close as Berbatov's drive was tipped away by Begovic. Pulis brought on Michael Kightly, who struck over. Kenwyne Jones, another Stoke substitute, thought he had doubled his side's lead in the dying moments but was flagged offside.
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis: "There were some great opportunities and in the second half we had more. Then in the last few minutes, you are starting to scramble.
"We had so many chances and you get a little bit uptight because you know one mistake could have cost us the game - a game that we should have been out of sight in.
"We have just asked Charlie to follow Peter around - to get closer to Crouchy, because we think he has real ability and we want him to do it in the final third of the pitch rather than the other two thirds.
"For a while he has just been Charlie, playing his own game. He is like a schoolboy at times - he just goes out there and loves the game of football. But we are pretty structured, organised and disciplined, and we need him up around Peter. If he gets up there enough, Crouchy does fantastically for us and Charlie will get the opportunities to score some goals this season."
Fulham manager Martin Jol: "In the first half we couldn't get out of our half. We wanted to play but it was difficult. Then you get the long balls and they eat you up. They close you down, they pressurise you with their style and it's not easy for us. They were the better team first half.
"The goal was a long ball, a flick-on, we didn't track the runner and they scored an easy goal. We did better in the second half but it's disappointing because normally we score goals, even away from home, but we couldn't do that today.
"You have to get them on the back foot and play your football in their half. We did that in the second half but we needed lot of forward players to try and do that. It was disappointing that we still couldn't score. You can't let them force their style on you but that is what we let them do in the first half. I admire Stoke for their style. It's not my style but it's a style. Even Charlie Adam looked bigger than last year!"

I love Stripe, but have always felt their position was tedious. Although to be honest, I always thought it would be Square that got in their way. Both companies had/have near immediate account setup and simple flat rate pricing. It always seemed just a matter of time before Square would open an API to allow developers to integrate ecommerce sites and mobile apps with their platform, which would both have dramatically increased their processing volume and allow customers to better connect POS with online sales. Like so many other things Square has failed to act in a timely manner or at all.
Congrats to Stripe on having reached the point where such a raise was even possible. Just hope they haven't left themselves with too little room for error.
What exactly were you trying to say in this "article"?
@paulcarr I'm not a fan of Secret personally, but agree with the initial point made by @AssafLavie. Israel has not tried to ban Secret. You'd have to have a majority of their lawmakers making such an effort to make such a claim. The article headline is clickbaity, and unnecessary. Simply state that ONE lawmaker has called for it's ban based on similar issues raised here in the U.S. There, done.
The amount of equity the two founders maintained is astounding, and very impressive. Would be interested to know about their initial bootstrapping and funding sources. Seems at the very least they would have needed some early operational debt, perhaps in the form of a secured credit facility or something.
A string of good articles recently @mcarney.
While the comments have unsurprisingly devolved mostly into taking sides between Suster and Graham, your broader question concerning our expectations around speaking out publicly on topics that are contentious and may have negative business/financial repercussions is an important one. Thanks for taking the time highlight this angle on things.
I agree that this needn't detract from the friendships and ongoing social ties that arise from the in-person social side of using AirBnB. If you hit is off with a host, it's hardly a bother to exchange personal contact info to keep in touch.
Pretty poor research and market awareness on this article. As pointed out by @jkarl1985 below, this is essentially a Rocket Internet portfolio company. See this September TC article...
With that said, would love to see more/continued reporting on these below-the-radar companies!
No opinion on Rocky Agrawal, but seems unnecessary to mention his boss's gender. While calling his boss a "piece of shit" may not have been stupid, it was not sexist.
Basically, no need to add it in just to get a click-baity sentence.
@holmesdm I'd love to see more written on the comparable economics of these situations. As it stands, your cat's guess is as good as anyone's. For instance, what is the revenue and profits for a 500k viewer audience on HLN vs. YouTube?
@rrhoover do you think Product Hunt is more suited to consumer products that have a simple/more easily defined value proposition?
@davepaz I think it's pretty clear that Uber is claiiming $90k, but that it excludes the operating expense of the car. For instance, fuel alone changes this number greatly. Say a driver does 50k miles a year in a vehicle getting 25 MPG paying $4 gallon for gas. That's an expense of $8k per year. This is before the special insurance and loan/lease payments for the vehicle. If they were honest and said the average driver makes $68k a year after expenses and before personal taxes, no one would be giving them a hard time. The problem is that they are going so far out of their way to act as the "savior" of drivers everywhere, that they're willing to spit out BS numbers.
I like what Uber's doing, and in general it is a superior experience. However, that should not give them license to syndicate misleading or flat out incorrect data about their company and it's impact on individual drivers and the economy at large.
@puck you don't think Uber knows what it costs to operate a car? They partnered with one of the largest private equity companies in the world almost exclusively to provide vehicle purchase and lease financing to the drivers. They can tell you how much is costs per mile/day/week/year to the penny in any zip code they're operating in.
Nice write-up David.
I appreciate the coverage of this.
While this was clearly bad and unhealthy for the ecosystem, I wonder if startups benefited from the implied cap on salaries?
Again, not good and probably didn't outweigh the the talent poaching from larger companies, but worth asking along with all the other questions raised.
@KenG the credit card cancellation technique does not always work. I know that for recurring subscriptions made online, they continued to work even after I declared a lost/stolen card with AMEX, and received a replacement with new CC number.
I wonder how Bitcoin and blockchain technology deal with recurring charges?
It would be great to see a follow-up piece discussing the type of endeavors or decisions companies can, or are likely, to make by postponing an IPO, that they might not want to if they were already public. It seems that in addition to how low interest rates are right now (cheap debt), that this is the other primary driver of such a decision.
Main stream corporations flush with cash during the worst of the downturn in 2009-2012 took on large amounts of insanely cheap debt (3-5%). To your point, it's simply now making it's way into the tech arena.
@mcarney this seems like an extension of the changes brought about by the likes of Yuri Milner when he allowed FB to avoid by a premature IPO by providing larger/longer-horizon funding than the current norm. Clearly debt is common for mainstream corporations, but I wonder how often they use it to delay an IPO?
This is certainly great news for the LA ecosystem.
@mcarney I'd be interested in an analysis how many people are positively impacted in the local ecosystem by Makers. I think they are an example of a full-stack startup as recently described by Chris Dixon (http://www.cdixon.org/2014/03/15/full-stack-startups/) and in an epic series of tweets from Balaji Srinivasan at a16z (http://storify.com/nikcub/balajis-on-full-stack-startups). They built proprietary tech on top of youtube, provided physical and human resources for creation/production of content, delivered monetization, etc. I think it's what has set them apart from others such as Machinima.
So, back to my question... For every dollar that goes into a company like makers for the creation/distribution of content, how much do you think gets paid out to entertainment specialists in the broader LA ecosystem (lighting, gaffers, writers, post-production, sound, etc.)? Contract work is the norm, so my guess is it's reasonably high, but love to see some actual ballpark numbers. I'd think it would be a positive story for the Makers and the LA.
For what it's worth I'm not actively in the industry or a Makers fanboy, but think it's worth highlight hybrid tech companies that may create or empower existing professions rather than simply destroy jobs and create a fewer number of elite positions for the well-schooled and technically inclined.
@worstall @FrankThagard Here's the thing... They don't have to follow behind a mule any more to get food, but they MUST now have the money to buy. While they have been relieved of a less than enviable job, they may not be equipped to take on the new replacement job. Say you're in your 40's when this happens, the odds are not in your favor that you'll be able to maintain or improve your economic position going forward. And this is all that matter since you must purchase everything now delivered as a service. Your children may benefit and the macro trends over decades and centuries may look great, but it has come at the cost of an individual's quality of life during the remainder of their lifetime.
I'm glad this story was still published despite the negative shift in Guide's story that occurred right before publishing.
The SSL fix didn't even show up in the App Store "Updates" pane. Had to click through on the link for more detailed information on Apple's website and FINALLY you see it as the very last bullet point. And worse they don't use the work "security" in the explanation.
Apple's usability still reigns supreme, but it is unfortunate that rely on this to keep consumers happy while not giving the same attentiveness to substantive issues like security.
I find myself considering alternatives more each day.
@MelanieTolomeo @mattpointblank I believe he was referring to the acquisition price as well.
The complexity of these relationships and associations boggles the mind, regardless of the malice or surreptitious behavior involved.
Good article with plenty of insights, but I take issue with two things. One, seemed unnecessary to bring up the Arrington/Allen suit, and I'm not particularly keen on him to begin with. Two, calling any of this an OJ moment seems beyond dramatic in the most "inside the SV bubble" way possible. One really rich guy has re-organized several other just-rich guys. Two innocent people were not murdered in cold blood with a knife, nor will there be a nationally televised police chase.
Again, tons of meat and solid reporting in this article, which makes those things feel especially out of place not accretive.
It's good to hear a technical counter opinion to the 23andMe mission, which is certainly laudable in its intent.
Haha. Excellent!
Vineet - Where do companies like Box, Salesforce, Workday and your own company, Egnyte, fall on this spectrum? Are they exposed to a program like Muscular?
One of your best articles in awhile in my not humble opinion. Well articulated.
This is interesting. I met another guy, Adil Wali, who was a co-founder at ModCloth who co-owns a dev shop in Mexico called Crowd Interactive. As I understood the story, Crowd Interactive came about as a way to provide development resources for ModCloth, but reduce some of the overhead by also taking on client contract work. The team in Mexico ended up being highly proficient and has continued on as an independent dev shop. I met several team members in NYC, and was super impressed. About two years ago they generously offered to let me work from their space in Colima and provide mentorship as I was learning to code - for free! They also host the annual Ruby on Rails conference for Mexico.
I have no ongoing relationship with Crowd Interactive, but think the story is relevant to what Andy Kieffer is doing in Guadalajara. Giving him the benefit of the doubt in terms of how he's treating local employees and partners, I think there's enough green grass in places like Mexico to still do well and do good. Best of luck to them.
Great summary and context Hamish. Thanks.
@mcdruid this doesn't strike me as something that needs to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. @Penenberg what might the ballpark cost of this be if dealing with black hat service providers?
@wtpayne Well for one, he stated that they had the ability to transfer/steal all of his money. These funds are not insured for such theft. I'd consider that a pretty significant impact. Additionally, imagine if the information had been collected, but not used until they went on a vacation, say out of the country. Having to access to communications (address books, email accounts, twitter, etc.) or money could leave you and your children stranded. Lastly, since they had already compromised one of the family day-to-day machines they could just sit there and eavesdrop, gathering more useful and damaging information over time.
Interesting that we never heard about Karsten going after Apple and their iTunes Ping endeavor...
They've been delivering value, but have also been dancing around a clear message describing when or why a potential customer/SMB would come to them. I've found myself fumbling for words on occasion when I'd point someone to Docstoc if they asked what they did. The acquisition of BestVendor following their creation of License123 really closed the circle on the value proposition.
It's not mentioned in the article, but a big revenue opportunity for them might be as a plug-n-play distribution platform for other things an SMB might need/want. For instance, SaaS solutions (one-off or bundled), professional services (bookkeeping, HR), etc. AMEX and Intuit could compete with them, or just save the money and use it to be affiliate fees for profit sharing to Docstoc. Not hard to imagine someone coming to Docstoc setup their store or restaurant and simply selecting additional bundled services at discount ( Google Apps for 6 employees, an Intuit POS system, etc.). It might have some parallels to Heroku's Add-on marketplace.
I'm always looking for ways to communicate things in a more visual way. Love the interface. Hope their paid product gets some traction.
Love stories like this. 37signals is always heralded as the crowned prince of bootstrapping and autonomy, but they their attitude can be aloof at times and rigid. It's great to see examples of companies thriving under the constraints of bootstrapping and then leveraging VC money for what it's best at, growth and scaling of a product or service that has traction.
Keep up the great work Wrike!
@eringriffith good conversation and interview.
One thing though, your side of the audio kept cutting in and out. Naval's was fine.
@dbennahum I was just thinking the same thing. Aside from the brief mention of online relationships and fb, it doesn't seem a relevant topic in the manner it was written up.
While your previously articles were thoughtfully written, I didn't find them particularly valuable or actionable. This one is universally helpful. There's no scenario where this wouldn't help improve the feedback cycle.
Good on him!
@Francisco Dao Many people live in a physical environment that have all of those things. In fact, isn't that high school for many people? Perhaps it's just that it's nearly impossible to wall yourself off on the Internet. In the physical world you can move into exclusive and/or gated communities, work in well-secured office buildings and vacation away from the rif raf.I generally relate to your skeptical and sometime curmudgeonly take on things, but this feels like one of those rants about the glories of times past. Doesn't a simple game of telephone with a group of people demonstrate how quickly we lose the truth? I think the Internet simply magnifies what we as humans were already doing, while also making it more efficient for us to consume things as individuals (which happens to include a lot of the garbage you referenced).
@Hil_Davis excellent question. I agree with @mcarney 's discretion on the matter though. There are plenty of variable that could weigh on the overall success of the transaction.
Separately, I question many people's expectations around multiples for these type of companies. Because e-commerce stores leverage the internet there seems to be an assumption that they should trade at multiples similar to more pure play technology companies that sell software or deliver SaaS solutions. While these e-commerce platforms obviously leverage technology, they have more in common with the old-guard brick 'n mortar retailers than they do with Microsoft.
For starters software vendors and SaaS providers have relatively high costs related to upfront product development and then ongoing sales. However, the costs to deliver the software or SaaS solution to each additional customer is close to zero, which can lead to increasingly high margins over time for a successful product or service. While intelligent beauty certainly makes heavy use of technology, they're mainly repackaging existing software and libraries to serve a specific use-case (there are exceptions I'm sure where they are creating something new from scratch). This technology and the Internet allow them to avoid the overhead costs of brick 'n mortar retail, but they're margins still have long-term constraints. The cost of manufacturing the end product is out of their control, and likely won't decrease much considering they mostly sell high-volume mass produced goods.
So... they can increase volume, but margins improvement is difficult and ultimately limited. With that in mind, what multiples do you (@Hil_Davis / @mcarney ) think are appropriate? What are more comparable sectors?
@eringriffith It would be good to have a sense of proportionality with some of these numbers and stats. For instance, what is the total employment number to put the +2,200 tech jobs in 2Q13 against. While I think tech is important, I'm curious whether it actually makes a dent in employment in relation to entire ecosystem. I feel like the financial services industry adds and throws away this many jobs in an almost cyclical manner. Since I don't have any numbers at hand this is purely my own pondering...
Do you have any insights on this?
Good interview Hamish. Love Luis von Ahn. The stuff he's built and researched has turned out to be so useful to the world. It's also almost poetic watching how the concepts that began around 2000 with Captcha keep evolving and being re-applied each step along the way for a new purpose and with different effect each time. The art of refinement.
Definitely find more doers like him for the interviews!
That's very well put by Poole. The expectation gap is why people are upset. However, as he points out, Americans have become sedentary with regard to many of the fundamental values issues of our time. Poole is also likely correct in expecting that most people will simply adopt the new expectations and then do little to change what they don't like.
@mcarney I'm a huge fan of Braintree, and selected them to replace Authorize.net at my last gig. The article rings true, but I'm surprised you left Dwolla out of the conversation. While their primary service is comparable to PayPal - cuts out bank and credit card fees - it is a far more seamless experience (excellent on mobile) and easier to integrate given that it has been API driven from the beginning. Additionally, the whisper-sync (right name?) technology they're developing is bank to bank, but faster than credit cards (it bypasses the ACH clearing house system). While still relatively small in scale, I think Dwolla deserves to be part of the conversation as well.
Keep up the good work.
@timrpeterson They are in position to do that to their reach and ubiquity as a platform. This should not be confused with whether or not they are actually doing so (they are not). He makes that clear in, literally, the very next sentence.
I think the markdown and writer specific workflows are the major features here. I couldn't help but notice that many of these features exist in something like Box.com. The drawback there is the need to signup for their service with storage amount as the major driver of price. It does allow workflow, comments, to-do's and the file lockout.
Editorially has definitely built something that seems native to the writing process though. Considering the pedigree of the team it's not surprising that they've successfully wrapped the real needs of writers in a solid technology experience.

An online quiz, taken nearly one year ago, resulted in a dream opportunity for Northeast Elementary School music teacher Laurin "Buffy" Thoms. After two previous attempts to become a contestant on the "Jeopardy!" game show,last September, Thoms finally received the call. She was invited to Culver City, California to compete on the popular game show. "It was a very exciting and pleasurable experience," she recalled. The process required patience. It began with an online quiz in February, then a regional contestant search in Houston, Texas in May and finally the show taping in October.
Thoms says she was among 50 potential contestants who participated in a mock interview and mock game, complete with buzzers, in Houston. She made the cut and was invited to the Sony Studios to take her shot at getting the right questions for host Alex Trebek's answers. Thoms proved to be a tough opponent. "I came from behind and won the first game," she said. She also admits having a strong advantage in the final "Jeopardy!" round. The topic was adjectives and for a former English teacher of over 25 years, that was a perfect scenario. The "Jeopardy!" episodes which featured Thoms aired during the week of January 21, 2008. She says it was difficult to keep quiet about her one game victory for three months.
The trip to Los Angeles was also a family affair. Thoms was joined by her daughter Katy Vance, who is a teacher in the Washington D.C. area and a former student in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. "She was by my side the whole time," she said.
Thoms says she has been a loyal viewer of "Jeopardy!" since the 1960's.

CORPUS CHRISTI - For the second consecutive year the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team took part in a special workout at the Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi. The Islanders went through specific drills designed by the Marines on Friday morning starting at 6 a.m.
The workout consisted of two events, the log drill and the pugil stick tournament. In the log drill, the Islanders separated into a four-person team and carried a log that was approximately 300 pounds. As they carried the log around a 0.96 mile course, the Islanders faced different physical and mental challenges that they had to work through to accomplish the drill.
"I think it's an awesome experience and I think it's really important for the development of our basketball team," head coach Willis Wilson said. "Our guys have to get comfortable going places they haven't been before. When you go to the NCAA tournament it's so foreign compared to what you face during the regular season and you have to be comfortable getting out of your routine. I think this sort of training will really parallel something that we will be able to draw upon for later in the season."
In the pugil stick tournament, the Islanders battled each other one-on-one in a single elimination tournament. In the end it was redshirt junior Bryce Douvier claiming the title over former Islander James King.
The Marine-style drills today concluded a series of workouts with the Marines this summer. Prior to a competition with the Marines on the campus beach last week, the Islanders took part in a circuit-style training course the week before.
For all the latest on Islanders Basketball during the offseason, be sure to follow the team on Twitter and Instagram (@IslandersMBB) and like the team on Facebook (Islanders Mens Basketball).

TitleWreckage along Joe Wright Brook after the 1874 Mill River Disaster, Williamsburg, Mass. Full Size Imagehttp://dlib.cwmars.org/cdm4/images/full_size/Williamsburg/010.jpg SubjectDisasters--United States; Dam failures--Massachusetts; Disasters--Massachusetts--Williamsburg DescriptionStereographic view of wreckage along Joe Wright Brook in the aftermath of the Mill River Disaster On the morning of May 16, 1874 the huge earthen dam holding back a 100-acre water power reservoir three miles above Williamsburg on the East Branch of the Mill River failed catastrophically, causing vast destruction and the loss of 139 lives in the factory villages of Williamsburg, Skinnerville, Haydenville and Leeds. It was the worst disaster of its kind in North American history up to that time, and it made national news. The event was such a sensation that many thousands of gawkers and souenir-hunters descended on the ruined villages by the trainload, turning the misery of bereaved and destitute families into a tourist attraction and helping themselves to anything they could carry away. Photographers from all over New England arrived in the stricken valley to record the destruction in stereographs, then the primary medium for disseminating photographs to a national audience hungry for images. An estimated 500 different stereo images of the disaster's aftermath were shot by at least 14 different photographers, and most were very widely reproduced and distributed. The Meekins Library collection includes at least 84 different views, all mounted on heavy cards for use in handheld stereo viewers. This stereograph shows a debris field left by the flood near the mouth of Joe Wright Brook, a tributary of the Mill River that enters it between the villages of Williamsburg and Skinnerville. Eyewitnesses reported that a momentary debris dam in the main valley backed the flood up into the small valley of Joe Wright Brook to create a temporary 'cove, ' and left in it this mound of debris, topped by a nearly intact iron bridge that had spanned the river a quarter of a mile upstream. Evidently the huge quantity of floating debris in the water had lifted and bulldozed the bridge off its stone abutments, which were completely washed away, and the floating mass was left here after the debris dam below broke and the flood surged on into Skinnerville. The bodies of 20 of Williamsburg village's 57 flood victims were reportedly found under and around this bridge and heap of rubbish. The card is not marked with the photographer's name, but other copies of this same image have been found that bear Knowlton Brothers markings. They are all captioned 'Cove at Williamsburg.'

Living In God's Exquisite, Miraculous SufficiencyHave
I have nice muscles in my arms. Unfortunately it's covered by this layer of fat. If you felt my arms, though, they are nicely muscular, in a strong, feminine way. 6 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

I dusted off the 'ole bowflex and did arm exercises and crunches yesterday (I even did my lunges)...
Hopefully I can keep myself motivated and moving in the right direction with this goal ~ I'm going to repeat these tonight!

Worked out on my bowflex ~ arm exercises and crunches. Also did lunges ~ ouch! I can feel the burn, so I know that I am progressing. 7 years ago
Today has been a good exercising day for me ~ I feel very encouraged!
Did three sets of fifteen crunches, three sets of fifteen arm exercises on my bowflex, and three sets of fifteen lunges.
Whew! 7 years ago
OK ~ I'm going to actually put this goal into action! I am going to aim for three days a week on my hubbie's bowflex. I need to start small ~ I haven't worked out in forever. Plus, I don't want to lose weight ~ just tone up! 7 years ago

Scalise to run for Utica's 4th Ward, to be challenged by Marino
UTICA, N.Y. - A longtime city official has announced her plans to run once again for the Utica Common Council's 4th Ward.
Due to City of Utica term limits, this will be Joan Scalise's final bid for the position.
"I have been in City Government with nearly 30-years experience as senior accountant, disbursements officer, as your city comptroller, and as a member of the City of Utica Common Council, holding the positions of Council-at-Large and, most recently, representing the 4th Ward. During this time, I have been a hands-on public servant and an advocate for constituents and taxpayers alike", states Scalise.
Scalise claims that over the years, her investment strategies have resulted in increasing the city's bond rating from "junk bond" to investment grade.
Scalise will be challenged for the position by Utica accountant Joe Marino, who is also seeking the 4th Ward seat.
Marino, a Democrat, 31, born, raised, and educated in the City of Utica stated
"I love the city of Utica very much and is time to inject new and young blood into the city government," Marino said when he made his announcement several months ago. "With my financial background and business sense, I believe I can really make a difference especially in our current economic climate."
He is currently the accountant for the law firm of Brindisi, Murad, Brindisi, Pearlman, Julian and Pertz, LLP.
