Drewry: Reefer Box Capacity to Grow 22%
Reefer capacity on the containership fleet is expected to increase by 22% over the next five years, at the expense of a declining specialized reefer fleet, according to Drewry's latest Reefer Shipping Market Annual Review & Forecast. Reefer box capacity is expected to grow from 1.6 million 40ft slots in 2013 to 1.9 million slots in 2018. However, this fleet growth is not expected to adversely impact vessel utilization levels thanks to strong cargo growth. Reefer container volumes are forecast to rise by 20.5 million tonnes over this period, 16.5 million tonnes by organic growth and 4 million tonnes at the expense of the shrinking specialised reefer industry. Overall seaborne perishable reefer trade will increase by 17% between 2013 and 2018, providing an additional 16.5 million tonnes of cargo. "As a result of the expected cargo growth, reefer container slot utilization levels will be unchanged in 2015 and only marginally lower thereafter," said Kevin Harding, the report editor. "Meanwhile, the specialized reefer sector is forecast to shrink further as a result of scrapping and a virtually empty order book." The specialized sector's continuing market share decline was reinforced by leading operator Seatrade's recent order for two 500 feu container vessels
Maersk Deliver Antarctica 'White Gold' to Europe
The 'white gold' is in the form of deep ice cores taken for scientific research from the south polar region for delivery to a Belgian university. The sensitive shipment required global collaboration across several Maersk Line teams. Samples of ice, or ice cores, each slightly longer and wider than a baseball bat, are regularly drilled from the sea ice of Antarctica. The cores are like gold in scientific value: each containing a multitude of microorganisms (algae, bacteria and viruses) which
HDW to Continue Use of the Tribon Shipbuilding System

I was offered a new job this week by Cupido, Norway's leading progressive sex positive lifestyle magazine and online shop, to select and present all the films they sell, and to help curate a festival devoted to progressive sex films produced in the last decade. I've served as a contributing film writer for Cupido since 2006, and will now also report on cultural news that pertain to sex and lifestyle, in addition to reviewing films for their magazine.
I'm really excited to be joining Cupido in this more extensive position. Always recognized among sex educators and sexologists, Cupido has in recent years also received growing respect from the mainstream media for the positive work they do. Most recently, Cupido served as a consultant for the popular television show on sex and youth Trekant, which last fall featured masturbation activist Betty Dodson giving one of the young cast members a private lesson in masturbation. I was interviewed by Trekant for their episode on pornography.

"A frothy confection of lobster history, lore, and art, with an emphasis on cooking and consuming the crustaceans. There are plenty of entertaining moments."
"Elisabeth Townsend considers the creature that inspired mosaic artists in ancient Pompeii, reclined like a cardinal in still life paintings, gave Salvador Dalí a telephone handle, fed the indigent poor and later the spoiled rich and became a partial success in shellfish farming. . . . Reading its 128 pages inclusive of recipes will leave almost anyone considerably more clued up about lobsters than they were before."

"We are quite taken with the short but engagingly readable Edibles series of handsome little books on basic, well, edibles, as in the cultural and global history of one type of food or beverage. Originating in England from Reaktion Books but written by foodie journalists or food science academics on both sides of the Atlantic, these spritely, much-illustrated books are a peruser's delight."
"Elisabeth Townsend's concise but rich Lobster: A Global History offers a journey through lobster's prehistoric and recorded history, exploring scientific, environmental and culinary matters. . . . She also does an outstanding job of documenting and explaining the modern controversy over the treatment of lobster: Is boiling alive inhumane, for instance, and if so what method might be better? . . . Most of all, [this books reminds] us that our long relationship with lobsters is tied up with our relationships with one another." —Jasper White, Wall Street Journal
"A fun, smartly written series appropriate for a popular audience that likes to eat . . . the Edible series books provide level-headed and enjoyable overviews of food culture . . . These will create a little library that any foodie will be proud to show off . . . aesthetically pleasing volumes with decent content that would make good presents."

I have often wondered why Monica Seles was stabbed. Really. I mean, she wasn't a particulalry dominant champion. Look at her head-to-head against her main rival, Steffi Graf. It's not like she was dominating or anything. I don't buy that she was stabbed so that her rival could return to #1. After all, that rival had more Slam titles than her, more weeks at #1 and a winning head-to-head. So, what I don't get is that when Monica was clearly not at the same level as her chief rival, why was she stabbed?

Ate at Passionfish on Saturday and had a horrible experience. This is the second visit and will certainly be the last. Fish was overcooked, salad overdressed, service was not worth mentioning. Wine prices great, but that's it. With all these positive posts about Passionfish, one would think it was the best restaurant around. I've had better meals at the local Thai takeout.

Philadelphia The Latest U.S. City That Will Not Bid For The '24 Summer Olympics
Published May 29, 2014
RETURN TO SENDER? In Utah, Lisa Riley Roche asks with the race for the '22 Winter Games "growing increasingly unstable, could Salt Lake City be asked to host the Olympics for a second time in 20 years?" Krakow, Poland, just "withdrew its bid after residents overwhelmingly voted against hosting the Games." Meanwhile, Stockholm "withdrew in December and Oslo, Norway, could be next because of political pressure." It is also "not clear whether the Lviv, Ukraine, bid will go forward given the political turmoil in that country." That leaves Beijing -- which hosted the '08 Summer Games, but "does not have winter facilities nearby" -- and Almaty, Kazakhstan. Former '02 Winter Games COO Fraser Bullock said that it is "still highly unlikely Olympic officials would turn to Salt Lake City" because the IOC's bidding process is "already underway." Bullock: "We did not submit a bid. So the IOC would have to be in extreme circumstances to then come back and violate that process." USOC Chief Communications & Public Affairs Officer Patrick Sandusky yesterday said the NGB is "currently evaluating whether or not to bid for the 2024 Games." Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker's spokesperson Art Raymond said that the mayor believes the city would be "ready to step up" (DESERET NEWS, 5/29).
PRICE GOUGING: In N.Y., Christopher Clarey writes it now "seems that nobody is much interested" in staging the Winter Olympics. What once "looked like a robust race" to host the '22 Games has "turned into a scramble for the escape hatch." The "knee-jerk reaction is to proclaim that this is all fallout from the Sochi Olympics with its scary $51 billion price tag, shaky environmental record and high potential for future white elephant sightings." Norwegian IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said, "People think it's too expensive to host a Winter Olympics now and that it may be too big." Clarey notes this "crisis in Winter Olympic bidding also has its roots in mission creep, the lower profile and reach of the Winter Games compared with the Summer Games and the economic slowdown in Europe." But it also "stems from the IOC's less-than-glowing image in Western nations." Longtime Olympic bid consultant Terrence Burns, who published a series of reform proposals this week, believes that the IOC "needs to develop a crack permanent team that would work from Day 1 with winning bidders and would be far more engaged than the coordinating commissions that currently provide IOC oversight." Burns also thinks that the IOC "should identify cities and regions that would be the best long-term fits and engaging with them first rather than playing 'a game of chance' and weighing bids after they arrive" (N.Y. TIMES, 5/29).

I don't know about who's going to be right, but one thing I do know is that better be there whether it's any of the dates everyone mentioned. I mean I would have been patient if it was Sprocket or even Crusher who was not out in the beginning, but seriously, my most wanted figure had to be the last one I need to complete my new Skylanders collection.

No, dragon's peak was apart of wave 4 and the same with Legendary trigger Happy because if you recall. They were released the same time Zook and lightning rod were. however, the two didn't make it to all stores.

Well, all I know is that I have read a couple places that Thumpback was supposed to be packaged with Hot Head at this point, so either they didn't have enough for wide release so he was delayed or they broke a deal with Nintendo to give consumers another reason to be in stores the day their new system is released. Both could land that figure coming out on this mythical release date listed. They are likely to sell another 2500 units across the states or so first day if that is the case. Now, you have kids playing the system at someone elses house before thanksgiving and then what do they want for Christmas?
I won't be surprised if it is only Thumpback. Water is one of two elements that still has more then two standard figures (non-variant), so this also makes sense.
Glad heroic challenges are gone. Imagine doing 80 per skylander. That's 6400 challenges. No thank you. |

I've been checking for anything physical to prove the release date, but nothing yet. I think I talked with a manager for the Bellevue TRU. I DID find proof that they're definately opening Thurs evening though. https://www.facebook.com/toysr...4676960?&ref=ts Click on the Official Rules link on the contest page. It tells you that the winner will be allowed to shop an hour before the official Black Friday opening, and in a later part of the rules that the time would be between 8pm and 9pm Thurs. I think there's probably easier ways to find this out...or there OUGHT to be...I don't know about you, but I'm kinda ticked. I checked EVERYTHING just to get this....are they waiting for it to be a week away or something?! I know I don't have physical proof of the 22nd being the release date, but....it really does make logical sense. Right now TRU still has SSA figures for sale. They also have the earlier waves of Giants to deal with. Considering the demand on Black Friday, they could easily clear out a significant portion of those figures, while selling the new ones within hours. Add the WiiU into the mix too and you have lots of excitement. I think the better question than "why would they do that?" is "why WOULDN'T they do it?". I doubt the other stores will feel differently about this. Activision wants its moneh for the season, and Black Friday is a HUGE portion of their sales. The economy has been in the tank too. Last year, they slowed their momentum and lost buyers due to lack of new figures at the right time. They won't make that mistake again if they can help it! They want you to buy and buy NOW! Stores are gearing up to have early sales coming up to Black Friday and even up to Christmas. It sounds crazy, yes, but from a retail position, they may feel they don't have a choice.

Ok the reason I believe that wave 3 will not be released this year is because.
1. Leaveing parents to many choices at shopping time and then spending less than if they would spread it out. 2. Because people like me have pretty much sent what they are going to and don't want to spend more right now. 3. Last, lost islands has skylanders that you can unlock and the only ones that are not out yet are L stealth elf and royal double trouble. It takes a lot of work to update those apps. If they were coming out that soon then it would be in the app. |

I was one of the ones predicting a wave 3 on Black Friday when America got wave 2 in the first week.
I do not think this is a good idea anymore. Waves do two things: They introduce unreleased material but sometimes more impotantly they rerelease older figures allowing the figures on the shelves to change and older characters to become available again. With all figures from wave 1 still being available on the shelves and wave 2 just starting to become prominent on shelves wave 3 from a marketing stand point is a bad idea right now. We will see GITD Sonic Boom, and L Stealth Elf plus perhaps another exclusive but we will likely not see wave 3 until after Christmas at this point. |

My guess, actual wave 2. WiiU release the same day helps everybody's sales. The key here tho is the possibility of iOS pack coming out too. Putting all that out just before Black Friday would be epic and hopefully mean plenty of stock.
Also, EYE BRAWL NOW PRZ!!!!!!!

idk about Kmart, but when I pre-ordered from TRU I got my items early (even though they weren't officially released yet), I had the Dragonfire battle pack before the Giants game was even out!!! So don't be too quick to disregard it... like Xero said, we'll just have to wait and see what happens with the order... it's not impossible, TRU did it!! lol Sometimes it's more about customer satisfaction and admitting someone screwed up on the retail end (shouldn't have activated the link so early or something) to retain business... time will tell!!

So I get here and they pull the order and its LC Drobot. So I tell them it is incorrect and one of the guys is now in the back looking for LC Shroomboom. If you look at the UPC on the item, it is LC Drobots UPC so apparently there is a problem on the website. This is probably why it is showing up in stock.
Can someone get the UPCs of the other new LCs on Kmarts website and see which ones those are.

Hi- Hoping someone can help. I have a droid 4 and when I am on the web, pictures don't show up. For example, if I am trying to purchase something, I can't actually see the item unless I go to my PC. I get the lists with blank pictures next to the items. This happens on every website such as amazon, ebay, etc. I tried finding a setting such as "display pictures" but I can't find one. Thanks for any tips/advice. Audrey

Buffett's Weak Defense
Updated from 7:11 a.m. EST
This can't be Warren Buffett's best defense.
Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), of which Buffett is CEO, is being targeted by regulators because its insurance subsidiaries have been involved in deals that look like they were designed to give an artificial boost to the financial statements of other companies.
Tuesday, Berkshire released a statement disputing details of recent press coverage of the deals. The Berkshire release also commented on a reinsurance deal that General Re, one of its subsidiaries, did with American International Group (AIG - Get Report) in 2000. The reinsurance transaction is currently being investigated by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The plot thickened Wednesday when AIG conceded the deal shouldn't have been treated as an insurance transaction. For that story,Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Automation Equals U.S. Job Opportunities
When 60 Minutes suggested that the growth of robotics and automation in the U.S. comes at the cost of jobs, many people took exception.
Henrik I. Christensen, Kuka chair of robotics & director of robotics at Georgia Tech, tackled that premise head on in his keynote at the co-located ProMat and Automate 2013 shows in Chicago.
Christensen argued convincingly that because automation drives productivity as it does, it grows jobs. The best example of this, he noted, is the formation of the Tesla Motors in Palo Alto, CA, where wages are as high as they are anywhere in the world. But because the business model behind Tesla leans heavily on automation strategies that optimize productivity and efficiency, the firm has brought job growth to Calif.
"Remember, when Tesla chose to locate here, the whole supply chain stayed here," said Christensen. "For every job created in manufacturing, 1.3 jobs are created in a related area."
Christensen also noted that manufacturers including Lenovo, Apple, and others are busy "re-shoring" some of their manufacturing operations because advances in automation and robotics are making it possible. It doesn't hurt, of course, that wages in Asia have risen some 500 percent.
Christensen emphasized repeatedly that the combination of high productivity here in the U.S. and the closing salary gap that used to separate Asia and the U.S. equals opportunity in the U.S.

'Tis the season to share the love and laughter and what better way to do that than in celebration of National Electronic Greeting Card Day! Yup, that's today and in honor of this fun holiday, I'm going beyond Hallmark to create my own fun phrases and sentiments. Enjoy these and feel free to share them with your friends, loved ones and fabulous ladies who could use a festive laugh and smile!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! It's such a laid back day that involves 3 simple things: family time, delicious FOOD & most importantly, being thankful (for everything). However, devouring meal after meal can feel like a marathon, especially if your family is like mine & you start the festivities at noon! Everyone knows, you don't enter a marathon without a little preparation, so here are 3 easy yet effective ab workouts to get your tummy on check before you indulge!
November is National Entrepreneurship Month, a month dedicated to celebrating courageous people that take smart risks to start their own businesses. Here at JustFab, we have a dynamic duo of entrepreneurs that started Urban Botanicals, a creative LA-based floral design company. Read on to learn about their business, how it all got started, and more!
Coats, boots and sweaters, Oh My! As the weather cools down, we fashionistas fabulously cover up. I love the opportunity to wear (and purchase new) warmer styles that are suitable for the cold weather. I do however, miss the sexiness of my warm weather wardrobe during the colder months. What is the best way to add sexiness and romantically flirty pieces to your winter wardrobe? Our Dark Romance Collection, of course! Dark Romance has an alluring mix of femininity with a punch of edginess. The chic dark colors and classic lace detail are the perfect combo.
Where's the most unexpected place you've worn heels? We took Nikole in red to Big Sur, and we want to know where you'd take these pretties for a chance to win a JustFab style!
Have you heard? Animal prints are the new neutral. The once loud (and proud) addition to your outfit is now a subtle, on trend way to complete your look. Whether you are in the mood to be a fashionista, casual chic, or a glamazon, we have a look for you.
Happy World Vegan Month! This month, we celebrate the founding of the first Vegan Society in November of 1944. Whether you are a raw food vegan, a junk food vegan, a diet only vegan, a full lifestyle vegan, or not vegan at all, this month is a great way to get out and explore all that the world of Veganism has to offer!
November is National Healthy Skin Month! It's time to give your skin a little extra TLC, especially your face. Prevent dry, itchy, and irritated skin this season by trying this moisturizing face mask. The best part is, you might already have all these ingredients at home! We promise you'll love the after glow of your rejuvenated skin.

South Carolina voter: I voted for Alvin Greene because … his name reminded me of Al Green
posted at 9:39 pm on June 14, 2010 by Allahpundit
It's as good a theory as any other. Two things here. First, I'm happy to announce that I'll be a candidate for U.S. Senator from New York this year under my new legal name, Harrison Forde. Second, is Al Green so well known to the public that it's remotely plausible Alvin Greene could have gotten 59 percent on the strength of his name recognition? I like "Let's Stay Together" as much as the next guy, but 59 percent?
Two clips for you here, actually. The second is of Alvin Greene's interview this afternoon with … Mark Levin. (Yes, that Mark Levin.) ML actually goes easy on him, except for a bit of awkwardness at the end where Greene, um, can't remember Jim DeMint's name. Exit question: Can we replace this guy with the real Al Green? Click the (second) image to listen.
Update: I'm kicking myself for not having thought of this first: "Vic Rawl should have changed his name to Lou."
