Florida mall shooting: Second victim shot by fired fitness trainer dies of injuries
A second victim of Saturday's shooting at a South Florida gym died of his injuries, authorities said Sunday.
Marios Hortis, 42, was one of two people shot by 33-year-old Abeku Wilson, who had been let go as a trainer Saturday at the Equinox gym in Coral Gables "due to workplace violence and was escorted off the premises."
Investigators say Wilson returned to the gym with a handgun and fired multiple shots at Hortis and 35-year-old Janine Ackerman, the facility's general manager, before fatally shooting himself. Ackerman was pronounced dead Saturday.
Police did not elaborate on what the "workplace violence" by Wilson involved.
Equinox issued an email statement Sunday that it was "deeply saddened" by the deaths of its two employees.
"Our love, prayers and condolences are with both families during this terrible time. The collective Equinox community will always keep Janine and Marios in our hearts," the statement said.
Marc Sarnoff, who previously trained with Wilson for two years, saw him at the gym before Saturday's shooting and noticed something was wrong.
Wilson typically was "very buttoned up, very proper, very appropriate," Sarnoff said in a phone interview. But on Saturday, Wilson physically bumped into Sarnoff and his current trainer. The usually adept Wilson seemed noticeably off-kilter.
"He wasn't clean-shaven … and he seemed to be slurring his words," said Sarnoff. "He said, `I'm sorry, I'm just off balance this morning'."
An Instagram account in his name is filled with shirtless, muscly photos talking about body building competitions that he was preparing for. In December, a posting said he had gotten a blue belt in martial arts.
The shooting happened about 1 p.m. Saturday at the upscale Shops at Merrick Park. Shoppers, diners at mall restaurants and people in workout gear ran to safety or took cover after reports of gunfire.
"Five gunshots," Ovi Viera, who was in the men's locker room, told The Miami Herald. "It was too loud for it to have been a weight dropping. Within two seconds, people just started running out."
Wilson trained Eveliny Bastos-Klein shortly before Saturday's shooting. She told The Miami Herald that he didn't seem distracted and that she didn't notice anything unusual during their session.
The mall is a few miles from the University of Miami campus. Ackerman studied on a field hockey scholarship at Florida International University.
University Vice Provost Steve Moll, who taught Ackerman while she was working on a master's degree in hospitality, described her as "the whole package."
"She was smart, she was athletic, she was charming, she was determined," he said in a phone interview.
He said she was a hard worker who shined at everything she set her mind to. The New Jersey native was once chosen out of more than 1,000 students as the student leader for the prestigious South Beach Wine & Food Festival and later went to work at the Fontainebleau hotel, he added.
She'd been promoted to general manager of the upscale gym in August.
"My initial reaction was, `No, this can't be. Why would anybody want to hurt such a lovely person'," he said.
Friends and colleagues described Hortis as a beloved spinning instructor with a generous spirit and warm demeanor. A photo of Hortis clad in black workout clothes, sitting on a bike while leading a class circulated online.

Pics capture purple lightning
A photographer has managed to capture shots of purple lightning, shooting streams out of a cloud.
Known as ionospheric lightning, the naturally occuring phenomenon happens at higher altitudes than lightning produced by storm clouds.
Photographer Jeff Miles captured the picture in Western Australia on March 28.
"This was a mind blowing experience to see with my eyes, never mind research the photos to find out just how rare they are," Miles said in comments captured by The Sun. "Gigantic jets have only been captured on camera a handful of times and this night I was lucky enough to see six jets."
Last month a remarkable time-lapse video of the Aurora Australis was captured from the window of a plane. The video was taken on a flight from Dunedin in New Zealand to see the remarkable light display. Also known as the Southern Lights, the Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere counterpart of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The governor is finding out that, in politics, something as simple as a 25-cent cup of milk can turn sour fast.
Just last summer, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo was hailed as a hero for stepping in with a state subsidy to prevent a price hike to 50 cents for the popular cups of white and chocolate milk at the New York State Fair's beloved Milk Bar, which for generations has been a shrine to the state's dairy industry complete with life-size people sculpted in butter.
But only half of the expected subsidy came through, and the nonprofit that's been operating the Milk Bar on the Syracuse fairgrounds for 64 years announced it's pulling out and putting the blame squarely on Cuomo, saying it will only consider returning "if Cuomo is no longer governor."
"Our group will lie dormant for the next 24 months to see if there is a change of administration in 2019," Gary Raiti, president of New York State Dairy Exhibits Inc., told the group's members in a recent letter.
Dairy Exhibits, which has kept the 7-ounce cups of milk at 25 cents since 1983, has long said it can't pay its bills at that price.
Before the fair kicked off its 13-day end-of-summer run last year, state agriculture officials briefly approved the price hike to 50 cents. But when public objections were raised, Cuomo nixed it and promised $90,000 to help with expenses. A fair spokesman confirmed the state provided only about half that amount by putting the dairy building's employees on the state payroll.
With the state refusing a milk price hike or larger subsidy, Raiti said his organization is severing ties with the state and selling off the dairy building's equipment.
Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi didn't respond to repeated requests for comment. For Cuomo, who's considered a possible presidential candidate in 2020, the milk bar brouhaha is a controversy he didn't need in the week the Legislature was late on hammering out a proposed $153 billion budget deal.
News of a possible shutdown of the Milk Bar prompted hundreds of comments on the website of the fairgrounds' hometown newspaper, the Syracuse Post-Standard. Some bemoaned the loss of a beloved tradition. Some said even at 50 cents the milk was a bargain. Some were mystified anyone would stand in line for milk.
And some questioned why the state couldn't come up with the $90,000 subsidy at a time when the governor has been touting a $70 million vision for an aerial gondola and other big projects to upgrade the New York State Fairgrounds.
In the end, fair officials say there's no need to worry: The Milk Bar, the cheese-carving booth and the rest of the dairy building's delights will go on as always.
"We'll hire a superintendent and operate this building just like we do dozens of others at the fair," fair spokesman Dave Bullard said. "Our goal is to make sure when someone comes into the dairy building this year, it looks no different than last year."
Troy Waffner, acting fair director, said the change will allow the state to modernize the building and possibly open the Milk Bar during events outside the fair's end-of-summer run.
"We'd even like to get it back to being a Rainbow Milk Bar, like it was years ago," Waffner said. "We'd like to serve not only chocolate and white milk, but strawberry, mint, bacon and whatever else we can come up with."
Sam Sampere, a 52-year-old physics professor at Syracuse University, who has been going to the fair since he was a kid, said he'd rather pay 50 cents for milk than have state taxpayers subsidize the cost. But he's glad the Milk Bar will still be there.
"It's just one of those goofy traditions you have to do at the fair," Sampere said. "You have to get a baked potato. You have to get fried dough. And you have to get a cup of milk."
CALL TO ARMS Sen. Graham wants up to 6,000 more troops in Syria
Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday took perhaps the most aggressive Washington stance on the country's simultaneous effort to defeat ISIS and solve the Syrian crisis — calling for more U.S. troops in the terror fight and suggesting President Trump already has broad authority to order missile strikes on Syria.
The South Carolina Republican and military hawk is calling for as many as 6,000 more U.S. troops to help defeat the Islamic State terror group in the Middle East.
"You need more American troops to accelerate (ISIS') demise," Graham told NBC's "Meet the Press." "You train the opposition to go after [Syrian President Bashar] Assad. That's how he's taken out by his own people, with our efforts."
Thousands of U.S. troops are already in Syria and Iraq to help regional forces in the fight to defeat ISIS.
Graham also argued Sunday that the United States is "relying too much" on the Kurds in that region to defeat ISIS and that additional U.S. troops would attract more regional fighters in that effort.
Graham spoke several days after Trump unilaterally ordered a missile attack on a Syrian airbase in response to Assad's deadly chemical weapons attack on civilians and as the Trump administration tried to explain its foreign policy.
National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster told "Fox News Sunday" that the president is taking "simultaneous action" in defeating ISIS and ending the 6-year-long civil war in Syria to oust the Assad regime, which has caused a humanitarian crisis.
Graham also suggested that Trump has the authority, without authorization from Congress, to send in additional troops and hit Assad again for using chemical weapons.
"He already has that authority," said Graham, who acknowledged that his position doesn't have widespread Washington consensus. "I think the president has authorization to use force. Assad signed the chemical weapons treaty ban. There's an agreement with him not to use chemical weapons."
AMBER ALERT Police say 12-year-old met abduction suspect online
Police in Blue Springs, Mo., issued an Amber Alert Sunday for a 12-year-old girl they believe may have been abducted by a Maryland man she met online.
Blue Springs Deputy Police Chief Bob Muenz told reports that they believe Apple Briscoe is with 22-year-old William Dela Cruz and his 24-year-old brother Jason.
Muenz said Apple was last seen getting into a vehicle with Dela Cruz late Saturday night.
"The family is in our thoughts and our prayers. We do have a missing 12-year-old girl that we believe is in the presence allegedly of two brothers, he said. "We are asking for the community support to be on the lookout for this vehicle that is in the Amber alert so we can bring Apple home to her family."
The three are believed to be traveling in a silver 2015 Nissan Versa with Maryland license plate number 6CK5071.
Apple Briscoe is described as standing five feet, three inches tall with brown hair and green eyes.
William Dela Cruz is described as a 5'10" Filipino male who weighs approximately 220 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Blue Springs Police Department at 816-228-0100.

Final round of Masters packed with 'wonderful storylines'
Justin Rose sounded more like a golf fan planning out his Sunday TV schedule than a co-leader at the Masters prepping for the final round.
There's Jordan Spieth, who "obviously has a special relationship the Masters," Rose said.
And Rickie Fowler, who will "be all up for it tomorrow."
And his Ryder Cup teammate Sergio Garcia, who will "have a great opportunity."
He summed up his rundown saying, "There's wonderful storylines."
One of the biggest might be Rose, who enters the fray at Augusta National with a championship pedigree and a closer's ability to come through in the big moment. He did it to win the U.S. Open in 2013 and last summer when he captured an Olympic gold medal in Rio.
Rose reached the top with a run of five birdies over his last seven holes.
Related stories…
"I'm a major champion, but I'm looking for more," Rose said. "I'm certainly looking for my first Masters and my first green jacket."
Garcia and Fowler will also be seeking their first major wins. Garcia has played in 71 straight majors and hopes to shed the title of the best-ever without a major win. He'll be paired with Rose, a friend, for the final 18 holes.
"Should be a great match-up in the last group," Garcia said.
Fowler had a memorable 2014 major season, finishing in the top five of all four events — although he did not win. He's worked to improve his fitness, health, golf game and mental approach the past six months and believes he's arrived at the perfect nexus to take the next step to major champion.
"We've been having a blast this week," Fowler said.
Other things to watch in Sunday's final round at the Masters:
FADING PHIL: Phil Mickelson looked ready for a patented Masters charge Saturday when he opened with birdies on the first and second holes. Mickelson's rise ended there. He had a double bogey on the par-4 third hole and could never recover. Mickelson went on to three more bogeys for a front side 39 and could not get much going the rest of the way to finish with a 2-over 74. It's his second straight day over par as he attempted, at 46, to become the oldest winner at Augusta National. Mickelson, at 2 over, is eight shots behind the co-leaders.
SPIETH'S SURGE: Perhaps the best comeback of this tournament belongs to Jordan Spieth. The 2015 Masters champion was all but gone after a frustrating, quadruple bogey nine on the 15th hole in Thursday's opening round. Spieth, though, started clawing back with a birdie on No. 16 to reframe his focus and, although he was 10 shots down, he had confidence he could contend. His rally took off on Saturday with five birdies on a 10-hole stretch for a 68 to leave him just two back heading into the final round. Watch out.
MAYBE HOFFMAN? Say what you want about Charley Hoffman's inexplicable water ball on No. 16, the 40-year-old has hung tough after one of the loneliest situations in sport — gaining a big lead early. Hoffman opened with a 65 and had the biggest Masters lead after a first round in 62 years. Predictably, he came back to the pack Friday but remained in a four-way tie for the top after 36 holes. Hoffman appeared to have handled the chase well Saturday until the par-3 16th. Hoffman, though, rallied back after a mistake that might've unraveled many with two steady, closing pars to remain two off the lead.
PAST CHAMPS HOVERING: Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth aren't the only past Masters winners hanging close to the top. Adam Scott, the 2013 champ, worked his way up to 3 under and three strokes back with his second straight 69 on Saturday. Charl Schwartzel, who won here in 2011 with birdies on the final four holes, shot a 68 in the third round to move to 2 under and four shots behind.
BIG CHARGES: The most capable making a huge run? It might be world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who is at even par and has yet to break 70 this week. But McIlroy, seeking the career grand slam, has a penchant for going low late at Augusta National, shooting in the 60s in three of his last four final rounds at the Masters.
Ex-Dale Earnhardt stock car sells for $220,000
A Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet campaigned by the late Dale Earnhardt sold Saturday for $220,000, including 10 percent buyer's premium, at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector-Car Auction.
The familiar black No. 3 Chevrolet Lumina was raced by Earnhardt in 1989 and '90, according to the auction listing. It was driven by Earnhardt to one of his nine victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In 1990, Earnhardt won nine races and the fourth of his seven championships in what is now the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
"This NASCAR Cup Car comes with supporting documentation from Crew Chief Kirk Shelmerdine, who personally inspected the car and found it to be 100% true as raced by Dale Earnhardt," the auction listing stated.
The listing said that the car began life as a Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe with Wrangler sponsorship, then was updated with a Lumina body for the 1990 season. The Monte Carlo Aerocoupes were produced only in 1986-87.
"The current owner purchased the car seven years ago. It has not been restored in any way since," the auction listing stated. "The fluids, fuel, etc., have been replaced; receipts included. … The car has only been used in charity and promotional events, and one car show. It won the Lake Mirror Classic for best Historic Race Car."

Ship hijacked off Yemen coast is freed
MOGADISHU, Somalia – A Lebanese registered ship hijacked off the cast of war-torn Somalia has been freed, says a shipping expert.
The pirates who boarded the ship Saturday abandoned it Sunday before naval forces rescued the ship, Mohamed Abdirahman, former director of Puntland's marine forces, told The Associated Press.
The pirates were unable to take the crew hostage because they locked themselves in a safe room said Abdirahman. No pirates were arrested and international naval forces are now escorting the ship, he said.
The ship hijacked off the coast of war-torn Yemen is a cargo vessel owned by a Lebanon-registered company, a United Nations agency confirmed Sunday. The hijacking was the latest in a resurgence of piracy in the waters off Somalia and Yemen, one of the world's crucial sea trade routes.
The OS 35, which can carry non-liquid cargoes like grain or iron ore, is registered by Oldstone Cargo Ltd, which lists its business address in Tripoli, Lebanon, said the International Maritime Organization. The OS 35 is Oldstone's only ship registered with the U.N. Oldstone could not be immediately reached for comment.
The pirates managed to board the ship Saturday evening near Yemen's Socotra Island despite resistance from the crew, said Somali pirate, Bile Hussein.
Somali pirates in recent weeks have hijacked at least two vessels with foreign crews in the waters off Somalia and Yemen, marking a return of the threat after five years.
In March, Somali pirates hijacked a Comoros-flagged oil tanker, marking the first such seizure of a large commercial vessel since 2012. They later released the vessel and its Sri Lankan crew without conditions.
Pirates later seized a fishing trawler, which Somali authorities warned could be used for further piracy.
Earlier this month, Somali pirates seized a small boat and its 11 Indian crew members as the vessel passed through the narrow channel between Socotra Island and Somalia's coast.
Piracy off Somalia's coast was once a serious threat to the global shipping industry. It has lessened in recent years after an international effort to patrol near the country, whose weak central government has been trying to assert itself after a quarter-century of conflict. In December, NATO ended its anti-piracy mission off Somalia's waters.
But frustrations have been rising among Somali fishermen, including former pirates, at what they say are foreign fishermen illegally fishing in local waters.
Tanks a bullion! Man finds gold bars buried in military vehicle
A tank fanatic got a new model in a £30,000 [$37,000] trade-in — and found more than £2million of gold bullion hidden in the fuel tank.
Nick Mead, 55, discovered the five gold bars in the Russian T54/69 while restoring it to add to his collection of 150 military vehicles.
He and mechanic Todd Chamberlain were filming themselves prising open the diesel tank in case they found munitions and needed to show it to bomb disposal crews.
Instead, they pulled out the bars, weighing up to 12 pounds — 5kg — apiece.
Todd, 50, said a quick calculation suggested they were worth in excess of £2million [$2.5 million].
He added: "We didn't know what to do. You can't exactly take five gold bullion bars down to Cash Converters without questions being asked, so we called the police."
Nick runs Tanks-a-Lot, giving petrolheads the chance to drive any of his tanks on his farm in Helmdon, Northants.

Man loses slot machine jackpot because of friend
Don't let anyone push your buttons.
That's the new mantra of gambler Jan Flato, who lost out on a $100,000 slot machine jackpot because he let a friend do the honors , 7News Boston reported.
Flato, 66, was feeding cash into the $50-a-spin Double Top Dollar machine at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 31.
At one point, he let his friend Marina Navarro push the button, for "luck," the site reported.
And she was the charm.
The machine's bells and whistles went off, and Flato assumed he was the one in the money.
Wrong, said casino officials who reviewed surveillance footage to confirm which one had the Midas touch — it was Navarro, 35.

Ace was the best spartan soldier ever. He won the most fights and killed the most enemies (more than 500 million).
Height: 205cm (no armor), 215cm (in armor)
Weight:120 kg (no armor), armor: 400 kg
Highest rank: Admiral, specialities: Close Quarters, Melee Combat, Marksman
Armor: Spartan I. MJLONIR Mark III Quantonyum powered prototype
Weapon: CX-23Q spartan multi-function weapon, powered with Quantonyum
Known vehicles: Storm(Destroyed), Paris(Destroyed), Nautilus(Lost)
Birth: 2511.12.02, Lost (probably dead): 2566.06.30
Killed enemies: 484 million grunts, 62 million elites and a few others
Daniel Black (he got the nickname of Ace after the "unwinnable" fight against the rebels) was born in the December of 2511. From the age of 3, he likes weapons and military. When he was four, he got a toy pistol and a target. He was impossibly good in this. At the age of five his sister was born, but he couldn't see her because Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey kidnapped him (after she brought his parents into cryo bays). When he became 6, Catherine instantly tested if he is skilled enough to become a spartan. He earned the most points in the test (3 more than John S-117).
The Spartan-I MJLONIR Mark III. program (it was Spartan II, but not counted as independent because it hadn't been launched properly).
In 2518 Dr. James Edward Halsey (the brother of Catherine) found a new material named Quantonyum. It is the anti-material twain of Plutonium. He used it to create a new armor and weapons for spartans (the Spartan II(III) MJLONIR Mark III Quantonyum Powered Heavy Assault Prototype Armor) and combined it with a new A.I. named Miranda (she was a lot cleverer than Cortana). He started the travel from Reach to Earth with the Shadow, but about 10 lightyears from Reach, Earth lost the contact with the ship. The UNSC tried to find that ship but they couldn't.
The (actual) Spartan II Program
In 2521 Catherine Elizabeth Halsey started the operations with the ten years old children. Danny was the fourth. The first three were finished, and Daniel's operation had already been started, when the first operated child died. After Danny's operation finished, the second and the third children died. But Danny didn't, because his body was stronger than the first threes'. Then the children, who survived the operation, got their Mk. IV. shielded armor, and they done the strength test. After the test, he became the leader (because he earned the highest score in the test) of the SSST (Sierra Spartan Specialist Team), and got the service tag S110. After at least 200 won fights against the rebels (the last was the "unwinnable" fight on Harvest in 2525's beginning where seven of the ten members of SSST died), his rank was Captain Grade 3, and got his nickname: "Ace".
The first contact with the Covenant
In September 11. of 2525 he had been ordered to Harvest to save the planet against the Covenant. After some ground assaults and a lot of won fights, in 2526 he became Major, and the captain of the UNSC destroyer Storm. He was a very good captain. The ship never damaged badly. But in 2529's end, a very big Covenant destroyer targeted the UNSC Pillar of Autumn (with Admiral Cole and at least twenty spartans onboard) with its powerful lasergun. While the lasergun was charging, Ace was evacuating the Storm, and before the shot, he crashed in the gun with the Storm, and the gun overloaded, that made the ship unable to fight, and the Storm exploded. The Autumn destroyed the damaged Covenant ship, and a small ship found the body of Ace. He looked like he was dying, but Halsey saved his life.
The Mk. III.'s search
He had been promoted to Commander, and became the captain of UNSC Paris after his suicide action. Halsey wanted him to search the Shadow's wreck. In 2531, after two years without any clues, Ace found a part of the Storm. He instantly started a long travel to Earth with the part of the Shadow, but a Covenant destroyer attacked him. He could jump into slipspace but only for a small time because the engine was badly damaged, and became unrepairable without new parts. So he started a very long cryo sleep.
The UNSC believed he's dead, and promoted him to Colonel in 2541.
The return
In 2562, thirty-two years after Ace started cryo sleep, the Paris's wreck crashed with an unknown wreck. Ace's cryo bay turned off, and he ended the wery long cryo sleep. He went inside the other wreck, and found its name: Shadow! He found the lost ship. But unfortunately nobody was still alive in that ship. At least he found the prototype Mk. III. armor with the A.I., and he switched his armor with that, because his armor was damaged by the crash. He found a secret datafield in the computer of the Shadow (he brought the Paris's reactor core to the Shadow because the Shadow's core was damaged). These were the coordinates for a ForeRunner artifact where maybe the Nautilus was being hidden. He used the Shadow's guns to destroy the wreck of the Paris, because it was inside the Shadow, and made inpossible to start the ship. The wreck destroyed and its pieces flew out of the Shadow. After that he brought the ship to the coordinates. At least seven months of travelling, his ship crashed in a forerunner planet named Ia Ailon. He fought his way trough the forerunner guards, and arrived to an elevator. He went to the lowest floor and the Nautilus was there! He turned it on with a forerunner key and quickly went to the Earth. He arrived in 2563 (fourth day of March) in a period of peace, and he heard that Master Chief John S117 demilitarized, cause Cortana's death. The Spartan-V program started but the Covenant Fleet had already been destroyed by Infinity so the humanity didn't need heroes (the remaining spartan fours were only 4) so the spartan fives were only 2. But they didn't know the biggest covenant fleet is on the way to the Earth.
The third battle of Earth
The covenant fleet arrived in the september of 2564, and the Earth defense shields turned on. The UNSC army arrived a few seconds later, but it was too late. The Revenge of Truth destroyed the defense shields, and all ships started to shoot Earth. Ace arrived with the Nautilus, and destroyed the Revenge of Truth (the biggest spaceship ever with its half-billion capacity), but the war looked like bad. The UNSC fleet was about 7-8 million, and the covenant fleet is without the biggest ship was 300 million, and the UNSC had only 100 spartans (cause the Spartan V program continued and the spartan I-s, II-s and III-s are collected and they were 21). The UNSC won the war, but after that they only had 100-200 thousand soldiers and 10 spartans. The Covenant lost all jackals, hunters, drones, grunts and brutes, but they had 1 million elites, and at least 10 ships, so humanity had to calculate for a last fight.
After that war Ace had been promoted to general, and cause the admiral's death, a few weeks later he became the admiral (only in the age of 23!).
The last battle for Earth
In 2566 the UNSC had 250000 soldiers, 12 spartans, 6 frigates, 4 destroyers, 2 carriers and the damaged Infinity, when the 1 million elite Covenant fleet arrived, with 10 cruisers, 3 assault carriers, 3 destroyers and a supercarrier. The Covenant found the Nautilus's weak spot near the reactor and shot that. The reactor started to overheat and a minute later the Nautilus had disappeared. The Covenant won that war. The elites killed all human people. The remaining elites (400 000) populated Earth and Mars; and humanity died out (except a few thousand in the hidden Mars Colony).

Jean Michel Blais:
Jean-Michel Blais is a 31 year-old pianist from Montreal, Canada. His enchanting instrumental compositions pair the melodic pop sensibilities of AmÃlie-era Yann Tiersen and Arts & Crafts alumni Chilly Gonzales with the breathtaking technical skill of classical minimalists like Philip Glass and Erik Satie. Il, his debut album of original compositions is set to be released on April 8th 2016 by Arts & Crafts.
Blais grew up in a rural French Catholic town in Quebec absent of Culture save for a giant Encyclopedia he'd read feverishly as a child. At age 9, Blais began tinkering on his family's organ, improvising, and at age 11 started to write original compositions and taking piano lessons. A natural talent, by 17 he was invited to the Trois-Rivieres Music Conservatory and began training as a classical pianist. However, Blais was entering the throes of teenage rebellion and found the constraints of formal training cumbersome rigid structure. Gravitating towards experimentation, Blais wasn't content to be told how to play, and not to improvise or compose.
Her Harbour:
Her Harbour is the moniker of singer songwriter Gabrielle Giguere. Her debut album Winter's Ghosts was released on E-Tron Records.

One more article I just came across...
Hacking group from India stole the source code from Symantic's Norton Antivirus. While it doesn't mean much, since anti-virus is ever evolving, I wonder if that will be the next target for trojans? Offer a paid or free copy of Norton, which looks legit but laden with malware.

The code stolen from the India military servers was a few years old anyway so it may not matter.
Jan 8, 2012 at 5:44 UTC
FixIT Chiltern is an IT service provider.
Just another reason NOT to use Norton/Symantec products.
When my customers buy a "really good deal on Norton" I will point them here, thanks.

Schöne Wohnung, genauso wie beschrieben. Toller Gastgeber, ausgezeichnete Kommunikation. Sehr empfehlenswert.Greg2017-01-12T00:00:00Z
Esattamente come necessario per un soggiorno week-end per un matrimonio locale. Grande hosting e servizi. Se qualcuno sarà dormire sul divano letto- portare una maschera per gli occhi! Splendidi panorami, ma un po 'wee luminoso al mattino. Grazie ancora.Seonaid2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Perfect host made to feel very welcome always on hand to answer questions. The kitchen was fully equipped which made cooking a breeze. Great nights sleep on a comfy bed. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.Christian2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
Ficamos no apartamento de Lewis por 1 mês. Foi uma excelente estadia para nós. O apartamento está em um bairro tranquilo e muito limpo - tem tudo que é necessário que você precisa. Lewis foi um grande anfitrião. Ele sempre foi muito útil e fez com que temos tudo que precisamos. Eu recomendaria definitivamente este apartamento para todos.Jasmin2017-05-11T00:00:00Z
This flat was comfortable and very clean with great views over the fields and a small kitchen space to preparing basic foods all close to petrol station and curry house.Susan2017-01-24T00:00:00Z
Fully lived up to its billing. Great views, lovely newly refurbished flat, convenient for main transport routes and above all peace, quiet and some tranquility. Lewis was a great host - very helpful, easy to contact, but not in any way intrusive. This is a great place to stay and I would thoroughly commend it.Nigel2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Lewis flat is set back from the road between Braintree and Colchester, so quiet but also easy to get to and from. Lewis was easy to get hold of and very helpful, the place came equipped with those little things that you really value after a three-hour drive through the snow, like milk tea and coffee. There's a great Indian restaurant just a couple of minutes walk away (not: it doesn't open very late) and a lovely pub within five minutes which also does food. All told, a great place from which to explore Colchester and round about. The view from the lounge is lovely, but would benefit from it being warmer and brighter than the February weekend we stayed! Oh, and there are some really huge chickens next door!Steve2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

I was here for a wedding up the road (houchins farm) The house was a Perfect location for it, own bathroom, bedroom and lounge, all quite separate from the main house. Perfect quirky thatched house. Ollie and George were so accommodating they let me check in early to change and Let me leave the car for the day. A lovely place to stay. They were so welcoming on arrival and such a lovely house to stay in...including the brave cute cat who greeted me in the morning when I came out of my room! I'd recommend to anyone going to the area and I'd go back again if I'm in the area.Jenny2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

It was wonderful!! I recommend to stay in her house. Everything is really clean and she cares about every detail. Moreover, if you like animals, you should stay there because her dog is lovely. 100% recommendedAna2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
cómoda cama individual agradable. Comunicación rápida. El perro era muy social y de buen comportamiento. Me alojaría de nuevo si yo estaba de vuelta en la zona.Anthony2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
Nice clean and tidy house. Very comfortable with everything I needed. Katherine was very helpful and welcoming. And the dog was lovely - quiet, well behaved and affectionate!Dan2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
Guau. Tuve una estancia encantadora con Katherine y su hijo, que era muy amable y acogedor Katherine casa se limpia con un alto nivel de calidad que no se encuentra que en Airbnb menos que pagar más de 50 por noche. cama es muy cómodo y acogedor. Quiéralo. Me sentía tan bien con ellos que yo extiendo mi estancia por otros 5 días. La zona es preciosa y tranquila, es perfecto si quieres ir a dar un paseo. He perdido mi último trabajo y yo estaba un poco preocupado y estressed! que aconseja y me hablaron mucho ... eso es lo que necesitaba en un momento tan malo. Ella trató de calmarme y se ofreció a quedarse más tiempo. Me hicieron sentir mejor. . Afortunadamente tengo un nuevo trabajo de los 3 días. el hijo me estaba helpping de encontrar una habitación en la ciudad, pidiendo a sus amigos por aquí. También me dio un ascensor a la ciudad. Él tiene que ddidnt, porque hay autobuses en cualquier momento, pero lo hizo. Por cierto, el doog es preciosa. ella siempre quiere jugar. IM TAN Gratefull. GRACIAS !!!Isabel2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

Fresh bread, tea and coffee all available for our arrival. Good clear communication of all the important details and where to go in the area. The location was superb, lots of green space, very restful. Parking was adjacent to the building and made life easy.roger2016-10-27T00:00:00Z
We had a great relaxing and quiet time at Alan's Studio. We were there only for two nights but Alan had everything ready for us to feel like at home! We have a one year old baby and he was so happy running around in the grass and inside the cottage. Alan provided us with a baby bed, and some food for our first breakfast. Shops and restaurants are close. If like us you are taking part in an event at the Houshins Farm near by, I highly recommend staying at Alan's place too!anne2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

De verhuurder heeft zeer zijn best gedaan ons op de juiste weg te begeleiden naar zijn studio omdat we behoorlijk aan het dwalen waren in het donker op de dag van aankomst.

Ook voor thee , oploskoffie en suiker was (URL HIDDEN) verhuurder was ten allen tijde beschikbaar voor vragen, opmerkingen, etc. en over de vertrektijd werd niet moeilijk gedaan.

Fantástica estancia! El entorno y tan limpio! Alan nos dio pan, mermelada y leche de la mañana! Gracias por un gran lugar!Marie2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Fantastic place to stay, and Alan was a great host! Rooks End is a lovely setting, and the cabin had everything we required for our stay (Alan even provided some essentials such as milk and bread on arrival, which helped us settle in). We couldn't have asked for any more, with a 16 month old accompanying us, we couldnt imagine choosing a hotel over here. Can't wait to come back!James2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Pippa and her family were really lovely and accommodating. We went there on a cycling weekend from London and it was really nice to get to a warm and cozy house after a long day's ride. The kitchen is very large and has everything you need including a large table ideal for group dinners. The bedrooms are very charming and spacious. The huge double bed in the double room is so comfortable that you don't want to get up from it in the morning! The house is very cozy and charming and we really liked all the personal touches and family memorabilia. It's like being at home. The house is set in beautiful countryside with options for lovely walks and bird watching. Pippa has a bird feeder outside the kitchen and it was lovely to watch all the different birds we even heard woodpeckers something you don't hear in the city. We walked to the nearest village which has some restaurants and it only took about 15-20 minutes walk. We also cycled to Colchester which is nearby and has all the amenities including lots of restaurants and a multiplex cinema. This house is perfect for a relaxing, quiet time in the countryside and I highly recommend it. We are thinking of going back at some point this year. Thank you for everything Pippa and family!Begoña2016-03-30T00:00:00Z
A very nice well equipped cottage , in a lovely setting - the garden is very special - Our host was most kind and welcoming and we had a very good stay. Have no hesitation in recommending for a stay of a few days or longer.Jillian2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

A place that shows its beautiful history through its location. Truly English feel with great view and environment; even more beautiful morning and very calming experience after a long journey. Lovely hosts who made us feel welcome and the exclusive access stays true to the word. Recommend highly.Omar2015-08-25T00:00:00Z
Thank you for again providing quiet and well-placed accommodation at short notice.Geoff2016-01-08T00:00:00Z
Stephen en Angela made us feel at home right away. They are very lovely people and they have a beautiful and cosy house to stay in. You can make a good walk in the neighborhood/ woods and there is a nice pub nearby. We didn't no what to do with the toll on the highway of London (for foreign people that's not very clear), but they sort everything out for us. That was so kind of them! (now we're not going to have a fine! Thanks again Angela and Stephen!!!) It's to bad we could only stay for one night, because we had a great time there. It is also a good place to stay if you come or go to the ferry in Harwich, which we did.Mirjam2015-08-24T00:00:00Z
Stephen has been really great at communication with me, showing me in and everything. I only stayed two nights and was in only late at night, so I didn't have the chance to chat much or to meet Angela, but Stephen was very friendly! As anticipated, I arrived very late at night, and Stephen came down at night to show me the entrance and where to park! The room is exactly how it looks in the picture, and I was provided with everything I needed - and even if I didn't have a chance to make use of it, the living room is also available for exclusive use, which is great if you need a bit of extra space and to chill out watching TV. Thank you!Claudia2015-11-15T00:00:00Z
Great stay, 3 rooms just for me! But I only stayed one night so didn't use the lounge - bed was large and comfy and Stephen and Angela were very accommodating and friendly as was Ozzie the lovely dog.Josie2015-08-27T00:00:00Z

The Bunches is a lovely, old family house with a fantastic garden. The house is well equipped and very warm when the heating is on. Rachel was a great host. She replied to all our queries and went out of her way to help accommodate our tiny grandchild who was visiting from Zurich. The kitchen is well equipped but maybe think about taking a large pan if you are going to be cooking for large numbers. The back bedrooms are particularly cozy and quiet. A good choice for poor sleepers. All in all this is great accommodation for a family get together.Nikki2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
The house is set in lovely gardens, and it is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Rachel is a very welcoming host, and made sure we knew his everything worked. We appreciated the little touches like milk in the fridge and nice toiletries in the bathrooms. There are 2 nice pubs very close, and lots of good local walks.Diana2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

The pool house was a great place to stay with our dog. Just outside the garden were numerous footpaths where you could let the dog off for a lovely run. It was peaceful with a lovely outlook over the owners gardens. The cottage was perfect for two of us with lots of space in which to relax after a day out.Suzanne2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
An absolutely charming guest cottage hosted by a charming lady. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful and tranquil it is and the location is superb. It's just off the road between Stansted Airport and Colchester which runs between the M11 and the A12. There are a couple of villages 5 mins away with little shops and train stations etc. The cottage has everything required for a comfortable stay and Lucy the host is charming but unobtrusive. If you are a dog owner, this is a wonderful place for a dog as the walks are superb. My spaniel had an amazing little holiday! The bed was comfortable, the heating was easy to use and the shower is strong and hot. All the things which matter are there. This would be a lovely romantic get away or a fabulous base for any tourists wanting to see a little bit of Rural England with access to airports and towns close by. Can't recommend highly enough.sunny2017-04-22T00:00:00Z
The Pool House is large for two people and very cosy. It's set in the most beautiful surroundings. There is a well equipped kitchenette area, a large living room with two sofas and a toilet/shower room. The bedroom is on a mezzanine area and although the ceiling is low I had no problems despite being tall. In the morning I enjoyed having my breakfast outside in the peaceful gardens. I'd definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.Chris2017-04-20T00:00:00Z
Deux d'entre nous avons séjourné dans le Pool House vers la fin d'Octobre, l'emplacement lui-même est à la périphérie de Colchester, à environ 1 heure de route de Londres, il semble que cela pourrait être un trek difficile, mais non, ce fut un accès facile et il était certainement vaut le détour, pour trouver cette magnifique maison située dans un village très calme, miles de partout. L'accueil sympathique envoyé directions utiles et était très rapide pour répondre à des questions sur la propriété, et nous avons eu la chance de recevoir un chèque au début de l'option si nous voulions le faire. Cette propriété était excellent rapport qualité-prix, il en vedette une grande salle en bas avec la télévision, une cuisine compacte et petite salle de bain bien rangé, avec un coin des escaliers qui mènent à un lit, à l'extérieur il y avait même une piscine. La maison elle-même était très propre et bien rangé et a été bien conçu et présenté, un grognement mineur serait qu'un autre oreiller aurait été belle. Si nous avons eu l'occasion, nous reviendrions, dans ce havre de paix inestimable et nous espérons faire usage de la piscine la prochaine fois. Nous avons fait faire usage de la petite table et deux chaises pour asseoir un déjeuner ont l'extérieur, ce qui était très agréable option pour pouvoir asseoir dehors, entouré de verdure. Le poêle à bois dans le salon est un excellent ajout, bien qu'il était un peu bruyant, peut-être que nous étions les premiers à l'utiliser, et un poker me aurait été un gadget pratique d'avoir, de garder les feux allumés. Si vous allez dans la soirée dans les pubs / restaurant prendre une torche, il devient très sombre car il n'y a pas d'éclairage public. Aussi, vous rencontrerez quelques petits amis à plumes dans la matinée, qui font usage des motifs qui peuvent être assez drôle à regarder. Nous sommes à la recherche ford de revenir l'année prochaine, et en faisant usage de la piscine pour se détendre et vous asseoir au soleil.Susanna2016-10-30T00:00:00Z
Accueil chaleureux de Lucy qui a été à notre écoute et a su respecter notre vie privée. Le lieu et l'aménagement du logement sont propices au bien être et à la détente. Un vrai bonheur de vivre avec les animaux en liberté, paon, lapins, faisants et autres.Bruno2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Katherine is a very polite and affable person. The room Its very spacious and clean with a nice and comfortable bed. A bit far form the town center but well communicated by bus, the bus stop is just front of the door. She has a lovely and friendly German Shepherd very well socialized, but it can be intimidating until you get use to her.Pedro2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour et il était parfait pour notre petit week-end en famille escapade. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et même mis en place un quartier agréable pour nous quand nous voulions avoir un barbecue. Le jeu réglé et balançoires dans le jardin était parfait pour notre petit garçon, ainsi que les jeux de société et des dominos et des livres! Nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin!Wendy2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
We just needed somewhere to stay for one night while visiting friends and this accommodation was perfect - nearby, immaculate and the hosts made it really easy to book. Wonderful cake too. Thank you!Katie2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Lovely modern bungalow that served as a great base for the wedding as we attended a wedding at Houchins barn nearby. We really appreciated the eggs, bread, milk, chocolate and home made cake left for us by the kind hosts - a fab touch!Amy2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay. The space is spacious, with nice patio. Our hosts were helpful and friendly, and we even got a treat.David2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

A lovely stay in a beautiful location, and thank you for the fresh breakfast eggs!Rory2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
The short break myself and my friends had was absolutely fantastic. The host was very helpful and determined to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The accommodation was beautiful and very well laid out, anything needed was there. Will definitely be happy to stay here again!Brendan2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay and Alexandra and Duncan were very helpful and went out of their way to help us. The cottage is warm and cosy and very well equipped with everything you are likely to need. Lots of extra touches such as toiletries and breakfast items waiting on arrival and they found us a high chair and toys for our 18month old To enjoy. Aldham itself is quite isolated, although on a bus route you will certainly need a car to get around the area and the cottage can initially be a little hard to find.... Can't recommended this place highly enough.....mark2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

We had the most incredible time at The Little Tey Barn. The setting is so peaceful, the house is stunning and it would be impossible not to have an incredible time there. I got in touch with Jane a week or so before my wedding, when I found out that the hotel we were supposed to be staying in had closed down and not told us. It was a potential nightmare but Jane turned it into a dream come true. Such a lovely lady, such a lovely place, I'm so so happy that we lost that hotel!!Hannah2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
Jane was amazing from start to finish! The barn itself is beautiful, very spacious, a great space for a group of friends to get away for a long weekend. I would highly recommend and hope to go back!Hannah2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
Absolutely amazing! Incredible barn and fantastic area. Don't miss outHarshak2016-08-09T00:00:00Z
The photos don't quite do the property justice - this is really an impressive house, and a perfect place to stay in the area. It is very close to Marks Tey train station which has direct connections into London. There is plenty of communal space in the house, which meant that our group could spend a lot of time together over the weekend. Above all, the bedrooms were very comfortable and well presented, which made it a delightful stay for all of us. The communication throughout was fantastic, which really helped with all of our planning. Highly recommended, a perfect AirBnb experience.Robin2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
The barn accommodation is beautifully set in the countryside of Colchester. The location is walking distance from the Red Lion pub, which is decent enough for a few drinks, and the Barn Brasserie, a lovely restaurant, which I would recommend for an evening meal. The accommodation is a larger than expected converted barn with a modern feel throughout. It was a genuinely lovely place to stay for a very relaxing weekend. I went with 7 friends and to play golf, go clay pigeon shooting and experience the restaurants and pubs in the area. We had a great time doing the activities and it was just as lovely coming back to the accommodation for the evenings. Jane (the host) was lovely to deal with and very accommodating. We were greeted by Shirley (Jane's assistant) who gave us a tour of the house (which is needed as it is very large!). No regrets whatsoever with this booking, I would highly recommend for any length of time away.Liz & Chris 2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Great stay at Jane's beautiful barn. It was the perfect location for my family and I who were attending a wedding in a neighbouring village. The house itself is incredible - it has everything you could possible need for a weekend away. All the mod cons, really comfy beds, gorgeous ensuite bathrooms, lots of space indoor and out. Perfect for big groups with little ones. Jane is a top host - she was super helpful throughout with any questions we had, gave us local tips and even offered to organise a grocery delivery for our arrival. Would highly recommend staying! Thank you again Jane :)Ilona2017-05-21T00:00:00Z
I booked Jane's fabulous house for my wife and her bridesmaids and parents on the weekend of our wedding nearby. From start to finish, Jane was a great host - she even went out of her way to buy my wife some champagne and a card ahead of our big day. The house itself is sensational - as luxurious a property as I have ever set foot in. All rooms were finished to the highest quality and this made my wife's stay an absolute dream - getting ready in a huge house rather than a hotel room definitely made it a more enjoyable experience. I couldn't recommend Jane's property highly enough for anyone looking for a luxurious few days away from the city, or for anyone celebrating an event nearby as we did on Saturday. Thanks Jane!Daniel2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Excellent!! Vanessa is an amazing host!!Vicki2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
We needed a base between Southend-on-Sea and Frinton-on-Sea for a two day beach excursion and this was a great location around half way in between. Vanessa was a great hostess, the apartment is in a well maintained building, clean, will all the amenities you could ever want. We'll be sure to call in again next time the weather is playing ball and the kids (and grandma) want to feel the sand between their toes.Mark2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
Vanessa's flat is excellent and has everything you could want for a few days away or even longer. It's clean, bright, well equipped and in a good location. Although we did not meet Vanessa, directions, instructions and other communications were perfect. Thank you.Kevin2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

The August 21 closure will not affect the LBCC Eclipse Festival on August 20 and 21. We have 375 people camping on Aug. 20, plus an all-day science fair with entertainment that evening by the band Up Rising fire dancer Jodie Smalley. We'll be providing campers breakfast on Monday morning of the eclipse, and a couple of presentations are planned post eclipse to give people something to do until traffic (hopefully) quiets down.
The Sunday eclipse festival is free with your student ID.
Remember to view the eclipse only with approved glasses. Looking directly at the sun without approved eye protection at any time other than the one minute, 52 second totality can permanently damage your eyesight. Here is a link to a list of approved viewing glasses: https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

Stop Leaky Bathroom Faucet
A fourth bathroom faucet dripping is annoying, and plumbers are expensive. Most leaks result from one or two defective seals can be easily replaced. Local hardware stores should carry all the parts you need to fix leaky bathroom faucet.
tub or sink faucets usually start leaking because O-rings worn or damaged stems, which are easy to fix. With some basic tools, you can stop that dripping faucet without calling a plumber. Find the shutoff valve to the bathwater.
Stop Leaky Bathroom Faucet
This should be beneath your sink or behind access panel for your bathtub. Look at water lines in either of these locations, and locate small handle on both hot water and cold water lines. Turn each handle as far as you can to right to shut them off.
If your home is older or shut-off valve is not present, you will have to turn water off at meter. Place stopper in drain on your sink or tub. parts you are working with are tiny in some cases, and you do not want to worsen situation by dropping one down drain.
Locate center screw to remove outer faucet handle. screw head should be visible in top center of plastic handle, if you cannot see it, center beauty cap covers it. For T-handle faucets, retaining screw is in end of handle.
Remove beauty cap, unscrew this tiny screw and pull handle straight up. Some may require gentle prying with flathead screwdriver to dislodge, but most will not. T-handle faucets will come off same way, straight up.
Run tip of screwdriver gently around base of faucet stem to pry up rubber washer or seal, or O-ring. Stretch replacement ring gently over faucet stem to position it at base. This should be tight fit, but not so tight that it stretches your O-ring to point of breakage.
If it looks as though rubber ring could snap at any moment, try larger ring.
