STIL's Runway-Ready iPhone Cases Add Layers of Fashion and Protection
STIL's new line of cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s bring high fashion and functionality to your smartphone. STIL cases include high-end and experimental materials, allowing for multi-layered designs that provide style, protection and convenience. Customers can get discounts up to 40% off of STIL's fashion-inspired cases as part of a special introductory offer.
Dec 01, 2015, 12:00 ET from STIL
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Phone makers like Apple spend millions of dollars on industrial design, which we immediately cover up with generic-looking cases. Phone case industry veteran, Newvit, is recreating itself with the new STIL line of cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s, bringing high fashion and functionality to your smartphone.

STIL cases include high-end and experimental materials, allowing for multi-layered designs that provide style, protection and convenience. Rather than simply printing artwork on the back of a plain case, the art is now in the design of the case itself.
To achieve these industry-changing designs, STIL assembled a team of more than ten designers with experience in both fashion and industrial design. The design process is modeled after the fashion industry. Every case in the STIL lineup is inspired by a muse, whether it is an Italian leather handbag, an iconic piece of furniture or even a pair of colorful running shoes.
The Gentleman case, for example, was inspired by a smart tweed suit, with Glen Check fabric covering the back. As every gentleman should be prepared to an impromptu serenade, a hidden sound channel amplifies and equalizes the iPhone's audio. An inner liner of shock-absorbent thermoplastic polyurethane protects the phone against drops, while a stitch-patterned bezel around the front edge protects the screen.
Liberta was inspired by the runway fashions of Milan. An outer layer of the finest Italian lambskin envelops the phone in softness, while a brushed metallic frame and inner layer of shock-absorbent Polyurethane ensure maximum protection. The lambskin is dyed to resemble a number of colors like ruby red and cobalt blue, and exotic materials like snakeskin and alligator skin.
"With STIL, I've had total freedom to try new things," said Narry Kim, one of the lead designers for the STIL phone cases. "My background is in fashion design and I've carried over the same techniques to designing cases for phones. It isn't like designing a piece of hardware. It's like designing clothes for a phone. Our team has experimented with lots of new ideas and the ones that have gone into production are truly interesting and unique."
Newvit, the company behind the STIL brand has been making phone cases since 1988, when mobile phones were either carry-along boxes or bolted into cars. They honed their skills over decades of making cases for top brands like Samsung and Verizon Wireless. Now they are applying their expertise to make cases that are as fashionable as they are protective.
"Every day you meticulously select the clothing you'll wear to show off your personality. But one item you carry with you almost never changes to fit the occasion: your phone," said Gi-seop Shin Newvit's CEO. "Protecting your investment shouldn't mean hiding it beneath a plain case, so we've set out to create the world's most beautiful phone cases, adopting an inspiration-based design process from the fashion industry."
STIL cases are separated into three lines.
- Pavis cases have minimalist designs that are inspired by nature and accented by repeated geometric motifs. Earthy colors like brown and beige perfectly complement wood and leather than have been distressed to give them a more natural patina.
- Hoplon cases are offbeat and edgy. They combine a futuristic pearlescent shine with bright splashes of bold color that are sure to stand out. Their personality is fun and witty.
- Targa cases mix avant garde designs with traditional craftsmanship, featuring strongly defined geometry and metallic accents that add a touch of shine. The premium leather and polished metal are of the highest quality.
For its launch, STIL has collaborated with three dozen trendsetting bloggers and Instagrammers, to visually interpret the cases by incorporating them into their own fashion shoots. A few notable names include Olia Majd, Shannon Ables, Candy Washington and Denny Balmaceda.
They are also launching the very first Mobile Fashion Week themed website that puts each phone case into the hands of models on an interactive virtual runway, as visitors scroll through the site. From December 1 through January 10 (PST), customers can get up to 40 percent off the regular retail price of STIL cases for iPhone 6 and 6s. As part of the brand's introductory offer, all sales on Amazon will be discounted 20 percent. To get an additional 20 percent discount, customers can visit the Mobile Fashion Week website (http://www.stilmind.com/mfw-iphone6s/) and scroll through the fashion show to reveal a special promotional code at the end.
Initially, STIL cases will be exclusively for the iPhone 6 and 6s, but other models will follow in 2016, such as cases for the next flagship Samsung smartphone. The cases are available through Amazon as of Nov. 26, just in time for holiday shopping. Prices range from $19 to $99. Learn more on the company's website at: http://www.stilmind.com/

Liverpool say sorry for racism incident
Liverpool last night issued an apology to Oldham defender Tom Adeyemi, who claims he was racially abused by a Reds supporter during Friday night's FA Cup tie between the sides.
A 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Adeyemi has been released on bail, police said yesterday.
The man, from Aintree, was arrested yesterday by Merseyside Police, who are investigating the incident, and the Premier League club have now moved to express their regret over the matter.
A statement from the club read: "Whatever the outcome of what is now a police investigation, all of us are deeply sorry for what happened and our players and our club pass on our sincere regrets to Tom Adeyemi for the upset and distress he suffered.
"Our supporters are renowned for their outstanding commitment, passion and fairness."
Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, said he had spoken to Adeyemi about the incident.
He said: "Tom has given a full witness statement and will continue to assist the police fully in their enquiries."
The investigation takes place as Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is currently seeing out an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

A Handful of Honey : Away to the Palm Groves of Morocco and Algeria Paperback
by Annie Hawes
Aiming to track down a small oasis town deep in the Sahara, some of whose generous inhabitants came to her rescue on a black day in her adolescence, Annie Hawes leaves her home in the olive groves of Italy and sets off along the south coast of the Mediterranean.
Travelling through Morocco and Algeria she eats pigeon pie with a family of cannabis farmers, and learns about the habits of djinns; she encounters citizens whose protest against the tyrannical King Hassan takes the form of attaching colanders to their television aerials - a practice he soon outlaws - and comes across a stone-age method of making olive-oil, still going strong.
She allows a ten-year-old to lead her into the fundamentalist strongholds of the suburbs of Algiers - where she makes a good friend.
Plunging southwards, regardless, into the desert, she at last shares a lunch of salt-cured Saharan haggis with her old friends, in a green and pleasant palm grove perfumed by flowering henna: once, it seems, the favourite scent of the Prophet Mohammed.
She discovers at journey's end that life in a date-farming oasis, haunting though its songs may be, is not so simple and uncomplicated as she has imagined.
Annie Hawes has legions of fans. Her writing has the well-built flow of fiction and the self-effacing honesty of a journal.

Discussion in 'OT Bar' started by TQ, Jun 16, 2006.
Lets go Ed and Bisping
you deleted your thread asking about who was going to fight tonight
Thank god that Bisping rumor was false
And Jesse fell into a sub AGAIN?!
Bisping and Kendall.
I want Kendall to beat the ever living shit out of Ed. I don't like that punk.
I don't like kendall either but meh
I missed the shows lastnight to go see G-love and the SPecial Sauce so I had to get a play by play replay from the wife this morning... any of the vids up online?
Bisping FTW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YbmY7_wJCE&search=TUF 3
I still can't believe Bisping called that flying knee and landed perfectly
And yeah, I want Kendall to KO Ed, and frankly, I have a feeling thats whats gonna happen. I think his only challenge on this show was Kalib and he pretty much walked right through him by fighting smart and listening to his corner
anyone know when the replay is? Spiketv's site is down.
That highlight just got me so pumped for the finale
I think he'll win but Hayne's has just as much heart as Bisping does and frankly, after seeing Hayne's win by a submission last night ANYthing can happen
TUF final card
Lightweight Bout: Sam Stout vs. Kenny Florian
Light-Heavyweight TUF Finals: Michael Bisping vs. Josh Haynes
Middleweight TUF Finals: Ed Herman vs. Kendall Grove
Light-Heavyweight Bout: Keith Jardine vs. Wilson Gouveia
Light-Heavyweight Bout: Wes Combs vs. Mike Nickels
Light-Heavyweight Bout: Matt Hamill vs. Jesse Forbes
Middleweight Bout: Solomon Hutcherson vs. Mike Stine
Middleweight Bout: Kalib Starnes vs. Danny Abbadi
Middleweight Bout: Rory Singer vs. Ross Pointon
Do you know wut I mean.
I love listening to Bisping and Ross talk/argue
wtf they are letting rory fight fuck that, they should tell him to beat it
I didn't see all of season 3, so I hope to catch up on the marathon next week. After seeing the final two episodes thoughm Ross is going to tear Rory's head off.
Ed impressed me but I think Kendall's too good. Jesse did great in his last fight. I'm hoping he's learned some more for this fight. Both he and Josh missed huge opportunities. Bisping will win all the way. I'd love to see Ross beat Rory but I just don't think it's going to happen.
@ kenfo and stout being the main event. I hate stout so I'm going with Kenny.
the solomon/mike and wes/mike fights are tossups
I second this. I can't believe I missed this episode and yet watched the one with no fight a few weeks back.
Need vids stat.
kendal must lose, that mask he wears to the ring is super gay and he needs to have ed rip his arm off and beat his stupid hawaian ass with it, but that's just my humble thoughts on the matter.
Luigi Fioravanti is fighting instead of Mike Stine
I think its funny they let someone with a losing record (Ross) fight on this show. what is he now like 5-8?
After watching the vid of Kendall getting pounded out by Riggs...I dont think he deserves to win it all....unless he got much much better under tito
What the hell kind of reason is that?
Because someone lost a previous fight they should never be allowed to win?!
Why all the hate on Kendall?
He and Kalib are the only ones that have shown much skill as far as middleweights go this season
I mean Ed can wrestle....but hes slower than molasses and has no stand up

Roads have always been addressed as formidable channels through which people, goods, news, ideas and cultures are transferred. They indeed constitute the 'circulatory system' of entities such as regions, states, or continents. They are means through which social, economic and cultural patterns are conveyed, and through which languages, traditions, religions, habits, fashions, musical practices and material culture are transmitted.
Medieval road networks have been studied mainly in their devotional meaning as pilgrimage routes. Innumerable publications investigated these aspects and highlighted the role played by these medieval 'highways' in building up the European cultural identity. The plethorical literature on the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela is a shining example of that. This approach has been central in setting up networks of cultural institutions and in disseminating research outuputs (mainly through websites, such as http://www.saintjamesway.eu/ and http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/669 for the S. James Way, http://www.viefrancigene.org/en/, http://www.tastingeurope.com/routes/francigena and http://www.rivistaviafrancigena.it/en/ for the Francigena Way, to name but a few).
Most publications adopt an historical perspective rooted in the research of Johan Plesner, first published in 1938. This methodology was refined with the book of Thomas Szabó in 1992, and the works of Tiziano Mannoni (1983, 1992) highly contributed to a more structured archaeological-topographical approach.
Since the end of the 20th century, archaeologists and surveyors have given so much interest to ancient communication systems that the term 'Archaeology of Roads' has come into use. Ancient road networks have been studied from the technological point of view, as instruments of control and military domination, or as channels for trades and exchange, but a problematized approach was still missing.
More recently, the increasing influence of landscape theory in archaeology has triggered a revolution in research on communication networks. International scholarship has embraced a concept of landscape that bridges methodological barriers and regional differences, creating an adaptive analytical framework (Snead, Erickson and Darling 2009, 3).
In this approach, the 'context' is the theoretical framework where material and cultural elements merge to create the holistic dimension of our analysis. The latter is then focussed on cultural landscapes, conceived as the palimpsest where history and environment interrelate. Communication networks are the threads of the web that connects places. Trails, paths, and roads trigger interaction and generate social, economic and political trends.
Thanks to a renewed approach to landscape archaeology, a huge amount of archaeological data can be reprocessed to be part of a broader debate. Intensive prospections supported by remote sensing, GIS processing and predictive modelling allows the collection of heterogeneous archaeological evidence, whose interpretation emphasizes the physical and temporal context at multiple topographical and chronological scales.
Cristina Corsi is lecturer and adjunct professor in Archaeology at the University of Cassino (Italy). Senior Marie-Skłodowska Curie fellow (Senior Researcher), she was visiting researcher at the Portuguese University of Évora from 2007 to 2013. She coordinated and participated in large international projects, among which the European project "Radio-Past" on the application of non-destructive techniques to study complex archaeological sites (www.radiopast.eu).

I won't give up!
I started listening this song and the lyrics go " I won't give up, I won't break down, and I will be strong even if it all goes wrong, and when I am standing in the dark I will believe that someone is watching over me" As I listened to this I began to cry, because this is exactly how I am living my life now. I have for too long broke down and gave up, and worried day to day on the little things. Recently I have said to myself, just go for it all, be yourself, and be true to yourself. Living this way has made me go each day with a smile. I am not afraid of life now. My dreams seem miles away, but I try not to live for the future anymore. I am living day by day and I know one day with hard work my dreams will come true. This is too everyone who is in college and has been through the time where you feel lost. I have had this feeling more than once this year, and has those times where I just broke down and cried in my room because I felt like I was accomplishing nothing and I was going no where with my life. I have been lost of who I am and there are times I feel like I am a lonely soul in this world. College is the time of your life that you find yourself. I am now finding that part of me. I have already realized that my career path is changing in ways I would have never imingined. It's crazy to see this happening, but I do feel like it is for the good. I won't give up! Sometimes right now I don't even know what I am giving up on. The goals seem to big to even come true, but hey, everything is possible. It takes determination, dedication, confidence and even friendship to make everything possible big or small!

Type: Bug
Status: Patch Available
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.4.0
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: None
The default serializer for the ElasticSearch sink (ElasticSearchLogStashEventSerializer) duplicates fields that are mapped to default logstash fields.
For instance timestamp, source, host. Those appear both as logstash fields ("@timestamp", "@source_host" etc.), and both as fields under the @fields ("@fields.timestamp", "@fields.host").
When inserting a field from the headers as a logstash system field it should be removed from the dictionary so it wouldn't get written again under the "@fields" field.

FLUME-2099 Add serializer to ElasticSearchSink for new logstash v1 format
- Open
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Hi Rotem,
This issue is due to the v0 logstash json schema used by Flume. Internally Flume's ElasticSearchSink adds @source and @source_host to mimic v0 logstash format. This should be resolved with migration to v1 json schema of Logstash. There is an open bug request on Flume for this one (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2099) and logstash documentation about the v0 schema problem here - https://logstash.jira.com/browse/LOGSTASH-675.
To quote the issue from logstash bug list -
"The current logstash json schema has a few problems:
It uses two namespacing techniques when only one is needed ("@" prefixing, like "@source", and "@fields" object for another namespace)
@source_host and @source_path duplicate @source."
I am also linking your ticket to Flume-2099.
Hope this helps,
- Dib
Hi Dib
v1 will certainly makes the schema less noisy, but this issue is not due to the v0 schema, it's just seems like a bug in the sink. The serializer creates a map of headers, extracts some fields from this map and sets them as top fields, and then goes over all the items in the map and adds them under the "@fields" field. So the items that where extracted before and were already added as logstash fields are added again also under "@fields". This is redundant. Items from the map that where added should be removed from the map before doing the generic adding so they won't appear twice.
Hope I managed to be clear. If I'll get to it I'll try to attach a code fix (still trying to understand the procedure of submitting code to an Apache project...).
Hi Rotem,
My apologies for misinterpreting your bug post. I also started on Flume commit process very recently.

Hi Rotem,
Correction about the Flume commit process outline I posted in the previous comment:
----- CORRECTION (last step in the Flume commit process comment above) -----
> Flume committer / contributor reviews the patch; marks it ok to ship; commits your patch to appropriate branches in git, in this case I think it should be trunk and Flume-1.5 branch in git.
You WON'T be pushing the code from your local branch, someone with committer privilege can push the code.
Thanks Rotem for the patch. Looks fine to me. Now please wait for a flume contributor / committer to review it.
Meanwhile, I downloaded the diff file from reviewboard and attached it with the JIRA ticket as per flume patch submission process. Hope you won't mind me uploading the patch to the JIRA. Also please assign the ticket to yourself Rotem and mark the JIRA ticket to patch available to make sure that flume community knows about the patch.
- dib
Dib Ghosh - Unfortunately, the author himself has to attach the patch to the jira, since that is what grants the ASF the license to include the patch in ASF projects.
Rotem Hermon - Please attach the patch to this jira
Attached the patch.
How do I assign the ticket to myself? I don't seem to have a way to set the assignee.
Is there something else needed?
Assigned to you. You should now be able to assign jiras to yourself, Rotem
Rotem Hermon you need ticket assignment rights on JIRA to do it. Also, mark the JIRA to patch available once you are given the JIRA permission.
Not a problem, sir. It is required so the required license/copyright etc are granted to ASF.

A crack in a vat holding molten glass led to a fire Thursday morning at the CertainTeed plant in northeastern Clarke County.
Glass began leaking out of the vat at about 9 a.m., setting fire to whatever it touched, said Capt. Doug Stuchell of the Athens-Clarke Fire Department. Firefighters and plant employees contained the fire by 10:30 a.m., he said.
Only the area around the vat was damaged, Stuchell said. Though employees in the area were evacuated, none were injured, and the plant did not shut down, he said.
Glass is the main ingredient in the insulation manufactured at the CertainTeed plant, 425 Athena Drive.

The word "parkway" was actually coined by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in their proposal for Central Park, and improved upon with their plan for the Buffalo Park System. The idea was not just to link city and suburban roads, but to have long green fingers extending into the city from large parks.
Extremely wide medians were heavily planted with dense shade trees connecting the parks so users could travel throughout the system without leaving the park-like atmosphere. It was intended to be a relaxing experience with landscaped green spaces through populated, commercial, or industrialized areas.
Bidwell Parkway
Bidwell Parkway was named after Daniel Davidson Bidwell (1819-1864). Before he volunteered for the Civil War in the 49th NYV, Daniel helped to organize the city's first police force. He died on October 19th, 1864 at the battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia. He is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery and there is a statue of him astride a horse in the center of Colonial Circle.
Chapin Parkway
Chapin Parkway leads away from Soldiers Place to meet Delaware Avenue at Gates Circle. It was named after Brigadier General Edward Payson Chapin, who was a well known Buffalo attorney at the time of the Civil War. He was a member of Buffalo's first semi-pro baseball team, The Niagaras.
Lincoln Parkway
One of the widest parkways in Buffalo, NY is Lincoln Parkway which extends North from Soldiers Place to Forest Avenue with a broad, central street, two service roads on either side and two wide medians, each with a double row of Elm Trees. As the Parkway enters Delaware Park only the main road continues and drops down to the level of the lake. At this point Lincoln Parkway is joined by the Scajaquada Expressway at the stone Bridge of Three Nations built in 1900.
McKinley Parkway
McKinley parkway extends from McClellan Circle where it intersects with Redjacket Parkway all the way to South Park at the formal entryway to the Conservatory. The parkway is an important connection of the two Southern parks to each other. The land for this parkway was primarily donated by early residents in the 1890's who wished to have the benefits of a wide gracious avenue in front of their homes.

Vikings sign Bishop to one-year contract
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed free agent linebacker Desmond Bishop to a one-year contract, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Bishop was released by the Green Bay Packers last week. He missed all of last year with a hamstring injury after posting back-to-back 100-tackle seasons. The 28-year-old spent his first six years with the Packers, who drafted him in the sixth round in 2007 out of California.
Bishop is expected to compete with Erin Henderson for the starting middle linebacker spot.

A Learning Journey to El Salvador: Reports from the Field, Day 1
Today's the day. I'm sitting in the airport (on Barbra's computer) about to board a flight to El Salvador. We are embarking on a learning journey – which means that our goal for the next five days is to learn as much as we can, and then share that learning with everyone back home.
Sitting with me are my five traveling companions who will be joining me on this amazing learning journey. Barbra Kavanaugh – the EJC's Executive Director, whose enthusiasm for connecting systemic issues with direct services is unparalleled. Ari Weisbard – EJC's Deputy Director, who brings his infallible logic and critical thinking to the table. Yvonne Johnson – a worker activist with the EJC, who is a tireless advocate for herself and any other worker she encounters who is suffering abuse at the workplace. Howard Mayo – a retired worker activist with the EJC, who always brings a unique perspective about why an injustice to one worker anywhere is an injustice to all workers everywhere. Travis Dupree – a community organizer with OUR DC, who lives and breathes his community's struggles for jobs that pay a living wage and that will help them not just to survive, but to thrive. And of course, myself, Hannah Kane – employment justice organizer with the EJC.
All in all, we're a pretty fantastic bunch.
We've been up since about 4:30am, so we're looking pretty ragged at this point. But before I pass out on the plane (probably before we even take off), I wanted to share a few thoughts about why I am going on this learning journey to El Salvador and what I hope to learn.
1. I am going on this journey because I hope to learn more about the impact of globalization. I want to know how globalization has led so many immigrant workers in DC, around the country, and around the world to choose the perilous journeys they take and the hard lives they often lead. I want to know how globalization affects our organizing and advocacy work, and how the unfettered, free movement of goods and corporations (if not people – I am privileged to be able to travel so freely through the world) across borders affects the ability for workers to organize in the US and in the District.
2. I hope to learn how my role as a white American community organizer fits into the bigger picture. How is my work, and the work of Proyecto Getsemani in Ahuachapan, El Salvador, both a product of and affected by a larger historical, social, and political context?
3. I hope to build upon my own understanding of the connections between the struggles for social justice in different areas of the world. What are the connections between social justice work in Ahuachapan, El Salvador with Washington, DC? How can we build a stronger and more united movement for social justice? How can we build a united movement for good jobs across the globe?
Clearly, I have a lot of work to do over the next five days, as do the rest of the members of the delegation. Check back in tomorrow, and every day this week, to hear from another participant as we begin our fantastic learning journey.
En solidaridad,
Hannah Kane
Employment Justice Organizer
P.S. Save the date! On Thursday, November 7, at 7pm, come out to hear a presentation about the learning experience from the delegation. The presentation will be held at SEIU at 1800 Massachusetts Ave NW. We hope to see you there!

To Stop Tug Wars.
Chicago, May 20th - The Tribune says that a corporation, whose backing is supposed to come from the Rockefeller interests, is said to be endeavoring to buy all the tugs on the lakes and the good will of all the companies operating them. The idea is to control the towing interests of every lake port from Buffalo to Duluth and Chicago. Towing charges will not be advanced at any point, it is said, but the endless tug wars, which have been so destructive to profits in the past, will be terminated. It is said the new company will not be a trust, but a single corporation controlling all the tug lines now in business on the lower lakes. The capital will be $1,000,000.
The tug Thomson cleared for Montreal today with six grain laden barges.
The schooner S.H. Dunn, Toledo, is discharging a cargo of timber at Garden Island.
The tug Active arrived from Oswego today with two coal laden barges for the M.T. Co.
The steamer Glengarry and consorts, Fort William, are expected to arrive in port tomorrow morning.
The steamer Bannockburn and consorts cleared this afternoon for Fort William to load wheat for this port.
The steamer Columbian touched at this port last evening bound from Montreal to Hamilton. Eight waiters were taken aboard here.
The schooner Fleetwing cleared this morning for Oswego to load coal for this port. The schooner Acadia cleared for Sodus for the same purpose.
Arrivals at the M.T. Co.'s elevator - steamer Nicaragua, Duluth, 60,000 bushels of wheat; schooner Lizzie Low, Duluth, 53,000 bushels of corn; tug Thomson, Montreal, six light barges.
Working At the Wreck.
The sailors who formed the crew of the schooner W.Y. Emery, stranded on a shoal on the south west of the Main Ducks, arrived in the city last evening, after having stripped the schooner and stored the goods on the island. The schooner went ashore about eleven o'clock Thursday morning in bright daylight. The wind was from the west and an attempt was made to pass the Ducks to westward. The schooner surged too close inshore and went broadside on the shoal. Every effort was made to her off but without avail. The stranded schooner lies broadside to winds from the west and south-west. She has 310 tons of coal aboard, her capacity being 450 tons. When the crew left yesterday afternoon, there was three feet of water in her hold.
The steamer New Island Wanderer and lighter went out to the scene of the wreck yesterday afternoon but could not do anything without a pump. They returned to the city last evening and this morning the steamer America with a lighter, wrecking outfits and a gang of men, went up to the schooner. The Donnelly salvage and wrecking company has charge of the work. The schooner is not insured and will not be injured to any extent unless bad weather springs up.

Carter Bros.' diver and diving apparatus were engaged and located a bolt hit near the keel through which the leak occurred. The diver succeeded in stopping the leak and the steamer departed this evening.

Our biggest contract is based out of Houston, BC, a small town in the central interior of British Columbia. It is interior planting, i.e. relatively easy, with rolling terrain, low slash and mainly unprepped land. Large blocks so expect large pieces. We do LFH planting (most media acceptable except pure sticks, needles, or moss), and high microsite selection is a priority. We also have awesome red rot specs that make planting easier, and 1.6m minimum inter-tree spacing. Average price is around 15 cents.

LONDON, March 26 (Reuters) - Britain's pound could face a lengthy period of weakness if Scotland decided to leave the United Kingdom after more than three centuries of union, with global investors likely to steer clear of the sort of shock such an event could create.
To date at least, Scottish secession has been regarded as an unlikely "tail risk" for most global money managers eyeing opinion polls that have consistently shown a plurality of Scots want to remain in the United Kingdom.
As a result, currency markets don't yet appear priced for even the remotest chance of a Scottish exit, with few signs of even hedging activity against future ructions. In fact, the pound has gained 3 percent against the dollar in the past six months to $1.6550 as traders and investors appear to focus solely on the prospect of higher UK interest rates.
But as September's referendum nears amid signs of some narrowing at least in the gap in opinion, strategists warn that wariness of sterling could build up. The latest ICM poll on Sunday showed just a seven percentage point gap in favour of the union - down from a 12 point lead last month. As many as 15 percent of those polled were still undecided.
Some investors could be factoring in a chance of the United Kingdom splitting up while still assuming little damage to the pound. Talk of a possible breakup of the euro three years ago, for example, did not cause a sharp fall in the European single currency because many investors assumed a core euro centred on Germany would rise.
But unresolved issues over what currency an independent Scotland would use, concern about the redistribution of debt and revenues from North Sea oil, a probable cut to "rump" Britain's credit rating and possibly even trade hindrances between the two countries would be more likely to push the pound lower.
While many analysts have yet to calculate a fair value at which a post-secession sterling will trade, some estimate it would shave up to 10 percent off current levels to bring the pound down to between $1.50-$1.55 against the dollar.
"It will be very negative both in the short term and the longer term for the pound if Scotland gets independence," said Steve Barrow, head of G10 currency strategy at Standard Bank.
"Size does matter, so Scotland leaving the UK will have a negative impact. Besides, investors do not like uncertainty and if Scotland leaves the UK, it will create just that."
The near $2.5 trillion UK economy is only Europe's third largest but the continent's biggest destination for foreign direct investment (FDI), a key driver of currency flows. According to UNCTAD, a United Nations body, FDI inflows to Britain totalled $62 billion in 2012.
An Ernst & Young survey reckoned Scotland secured more than 10 percent of those UK inflows in 2012.
Only after a vote would both sides sit down to divide revenues and debts. The details would matter, and any prolonged uncertainty would be destabilising.
Giving Scotland its geographic share of North Sea oil would leave it with a higher GDP per capita than the rest of Britain. If debt were then to be divided by population, that would mean the rest of Britain would end up with a higher debt ratio as a share of its remaining GDP.
Think-tank National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) in a paper published in February said the gross debt-to-GDP ratio of "rump UK" would rise to 104 percent from 94 percent projected for 2016/17 when independence takes effect. Scotland's debt ratio would fall to 84 percent of GDP.
The higher debt ratio for the rest of Britain could leave the pound vulnerable, particularly if it led foreign investors, who now own 30 percent of UK government bonds, to trim their holdings and exit the currency.
"An independent Scotland would bring major uncertainties, costs and risks - mostly for Scotland, but also for the remaining UK," Blackrock analysts said in a note.
Blackrock, the world's largest investment manager, does not see much risk for holders of the remaining UK's debt unless an independent Scotland were to default, which is unlikely. The UK Treasury, for its part, has already committed to honouring all outstanding debts.
"Yet there could be some limited downward pressure on gilt prices due to the small probability of Scotland's finding it difficult to meet its obligations to the remaining UK at some point in the future," it added.
Analysts say the pound's status as a reserve currency - a currency sought by other central banks as part of their reserves - was unlikely to be undermined if Scotland broke away.
"Most reserve currencies have problems, like the euro with the euro zone crisis and it still is one," said Simon Derrick, head of currency strategist at BNY Mellon. "What will hurt sterling more is the uncertainty of Scotland breaking away."
Scotland would face the bigger currency question: it is not yet clear what currency would be used there at all. But the uncertainty north of the border could hit the pound too.
"International investors will stay away from the pound if there is uncertainty right at Britain's doorstep," said Chris Turner, head of currency strategy at ING.
All three major British political parties have ruled out allowing Scotland to keep the pound in a currency union, while joining the euro seems a distant prospect. That leaves the most likely options for Scotland to be either an independent floating exchange rate or a currency peg.
Both options have risks, said Desmond Supple, an analyst at Nomura, London, who estimated Scotland would have reserves of just $4.5 billion to safeguard a new currency.
"A floating exchange rate could see a highly volatile exchange rate, while a peg could be undermined by the available pool of foreign exchange reserves," Supple said, adding another possible approach could be forming a Scottish currency board.
Financier George Soros, famous for speculating successfully against sterling 22 years ago, said an independent Scottish currency could face attack and urged euro membership instead.
The long list of risks makes it all the more puzzling why sterling has been unaffected by the approach of the vote so far.
That may be understandable for a spot market trained on short time frames, but there's been barely a flicker in the implied future volatility surrounding September.
Whether that's confidence or complacency is unclear, but it may just be that markets have not homed in on the risks yet.
"It is hard to price in political risk so much in advance," said Ned Rumpeltin, G10 currency strategist at Standard Chartered, a UK bank. "But if you start to see the 'yes' vote get more traction, that could add a dimension of risk." (Reporting by Anirban Nag; Editing by Peter Graff)

So I'm definitely a cream blush kind of gal... always have been, and likely always will be. I just like the finish so much better.
I already have the La Femme powder blush palette, but I really would like, eventually, a good cream blush palette.
What is your favorite cream blush, does it come in a palette, and how much does it run each time?
(This is all for my proper MUA kit; when I get better images, I'll start using my MUA profile again.)

Give and Take? Or Give and Give?
In a troubled marriage, each partner may think that they do all the giving and none of the receiving.
Rarely, of course, is either one entirely right.
In a troubled business, you may think you do all of the giving (of expertise, of service, of excellent quality goods as I'm sure yours are) and not enough of the receiving (of money, of loyalty).
In a troubled economy, your customer may think they do all of the giving (of time driving to your shop or cruising your website, of patience with service that misses the mark, of money) and not enough of the receiving (of goods and services that go beyond satisfaction to Deliver Delight—in whatever way the customer means that, which they believe, for their money, you should intuit).
Rarely, of course, is either view entirely right.
Seems like there are a lot of "resentful" businesses out there, acting like they have done as much as they're darn-well gonna to earn the affections of the public. If you ever find yourself resenting having to go the extra mile for customers, just remember….
Only one of you has to hold the "marriage" of business and customer together to survive.
The customer is free to go out and get a new partner the very next time they have a dollar to spare. So if you want to stop their leaving, you're going to have to see it their way.
Grow and be well,
Kelly Erickson
One Response to "How To Stop Your (Customer) Divorce"
Ha, what a perfect analogy!
Although I am not really in the customer relations game (yes, I know I am, but not in the same way as retail), what I find useful is kind of "studying" my own buying patterns. I'm not sure I'm the typical consumer, but it does give me some insight. Why did I buy from this store and not that? Why did I walk out of one store empty-handed when I had intended to buy something? Why does this shop make me happy, and that one make me frustrated?
Etc., etc.
By connecting my own dots, I get a better sense of how other people are connecting theirs in terms of how they interact with me.

God, Bring Me Back to You
Lamentations 5:21
When our thoughts have been unruly, our hearts hard, our deeds despicable, when we teeter from the devastation of sin and straddle the precipice of hell, cry out to God for mercy. In this lab, Pastor John walks us through a prayer for restoration.
Principle for Bible Reading
Pray Scripture
God gives us the words of men and women throughout history who have poured out their hearts before him. Some were persecuted, suffering, and broken over sin; others were confused, angry, and bereaved. The cries of God's saints in his Word matches each season of life we find ourselves in. God has given them to us to be nourished by and pray back to him.
Study Questions
- If a friend told you they were trapped in sin and considering giving up the faith, how would you counsel them?
- How does a prayer like Lamentations 5:21 have to do with the person and work of Christ?
- God uses people to bring us back when we begin to fall away (James 5:19–20). Pray and ask God if there is anyone in your life that God desires to bring back to himself, through you.

text: Mauritania's government vowed to use all possible legal actions to try to annul disputed amendments to oil production sharing contracts signed with Australia's Woodside Petroleum Ltd. The dispute threatens to overshadow the scheduled production start-up this month of a major offshore oil project operated by Woodside, which will turn the poor, largely desert-covered West African state into the continent's newest oil producer. Mauritania, whose new military rulers took power in a bloodless coup in August 2005, says it cannot accept the Woodside contract amendments, which were signed more than a year ago by a former oil minister who is now in prison facing trial for corruption. According to Reuters, Woodside says it believes the amendments, which were approved by the previous Mauritanian government and passed into law in 2005, are valid and binding on all parties. It has insisted the dispute does not affect its $530 million Chinguetti offshore oil project -- thought to contain up to 123 million barrels -- which is due to start output this month. Woodside will negotiate with Mauritania under the contracts' dispute resolution procedures. It added that during the talks, expected to last three months, exploration would continue in the areas covered by the production sharing contracts. (Source: Reuters)

Unanswered: Simple SQL Query??
Hi. I'm having some issues with a query that I require. In my mind it should be simple but for the life of me I can not figure out how to go about doing it. The below query, queries a MSSQL database and returns what security group a web account user is in.
Now I need another query that will return the opposite of this. Web Accounts that are not in a security group (tblWebAccountGroup.Web_Account_Group_Name_ID != var). Sounds simple to me and possible using an SQL query. At present I've done such queries in PHP by writing two queries and doing a data comparison and return what is different between the two queries. As I'm sure you realize this is a major amount of coding to do this manually. How can I do this using SQL? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I'm using IIS v5.0.2195.3649 with PHP v4.2.3 and MSSQL Server 2000 (v8.00.760 Intel X86). If you need any table schemas or other information please let me know.
$szQry = "SELECT tblWebAccounts.People_ID, viewPeople.First_Name, viewPeople.Last_Name
FROM tblWebAccounts, viewPeople, tblWebAccountGroup
WHERE tblWebAccountGroup.Web_Account_Group_Name_ID=$_POS T[nSecurityGroup]
AND tblWebAccounts.People_ID=viewPeople.People_ID
AND tblWebAccounts.Web_Account_ID=tblWebAccountGroup.W eb_Account_ID
ORDER BY viewPeople.First_Name, viewPeople.Last_Name";

For a particular Group use the following(NOT Keyword):

PENTICTON - Penticton RCMP dealt with several brazen vehicle thefts last week.
The detachment received a phone call from a Penticton towing company on Wednesday morning, March 2, Penticton RCMP media spokesperson Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth says. The operator of a tow truck said he had received a call from someone at Cherry Lane Mall who claimed to have locked himself out of his vehicle, and needed help to get back in.
The operator arrived and was on scene when the actual owner of the vehicle came out of the mall. The would-be thief took off down the street, but police were able to track him to a Kinney Avenue residence where he was found to be suffering from mental health issues. The man was arrested and taken to Penticton Regional Hospital for treatment.
The next day a man called police from the Husky gas station on Main Street around 11:10 a.m. to report his 2008 Ford F350 pickup with Alberta plates had been stolen. He said a woman had jumped off a bike and took off with the truck from the gas station.
Members of the RCMP's new targeted enforcement unit followed the vehicle to Secrest Place, where they apprehended and arrested the 19-year-old Oliver woman. She was charged with theft over $5,000.
At 9 a.m. Saturday, March 5, a man reported the theft of his 2001 Mercedes from the mall parking lot. The man had left his jacket with his vehicle keys in it, on a bench in the mall, walking away from it for a short period. When he returned to the bench, it was gone.
He went out to the parking lot, and after reassuring himself his vehicle was still there, he called his wife for another set of keys. After her arrival, they both went out to the parking lot to find the vehicle gone. Police determined a 40-year-old female was seen taking the jacket from the bench.
On Sunday night, March 6, police discovered the Mercedes parked behind the 7-Elevn on Skaha Lake Road at Green Avenue. Witnesses were able to identify the occupant, who had been seen running towards Skaha Lake. The woman was subsequently arrested and released on a promise to appear.

Conrad Murray
November 4, 2011 by staff
Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor refuses to take the stand Dr. Conrad Murray did not take the stand in murder trial before the defense rested its case.
The Associated Press reports that Dr. Murray, who is accused of killing the pop icon Michael Jackson, chose not to speak in his own defense.
Revealed yesterday just after the judge reminded him of his right to testify or remain silent: "My decision is that not testify in this matter," he said, a day after hinting that he was conflicted about the possibility of the stand .
After that, the defense rested its case, reports the New York Daily News, the prosecution had a doctor offer a rebuttal.
Dr. Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, but, having no support, you are giving up any chance he had to present first hand information that might skew the jury's decision in its favor.
If convicted, the doctor faces a maximum of four years in prison and may lose his medical license.

A Heckfield farm shop has been fined and banned from operating a food business after selling chicken pieces containing fly eggs.
Farm Catering Ltd, trading as Holdshott Farm Shop, was ordered to pay over £37,000 for its poor food hygiene practices.
Basingstoke Magistrates Court fined the business' director, Kathleen David, and the manager, Roger David, £6,000 plus an additional £5,309 costs and £100 victim surcharge. The couple pleaded guilty to eight food hygiene offences, resulting in the court reducing the fine per offence to £4,000 leaving a final total of £37,409.
As well as selling chicken pieces containing fly eggs, other offences included selling meat pies, which had been kept at 4.5°C above legal refrigeration requirements and were therefore considered to be a high-risk food. All of the recorded incidents took place between 7 April 2015 and 15 March 2016.
Hart District Council Environmental Health became involved with the investigation after the business had already received poor hygiene results from regular inspections and complaints from the public.
"We have continually provided support and guidance to Farm Catering Ltd to try and assist them to comply with the food hygiene regulations," said Nick Steevens, head of regulatory services at Hart District Council.
"Despite our continued efforts to support this business, food safety inspections always revealed serious breaches of food hygiene legislation and failings which put customers at risk. The standards of food hygiene at this premises are some of the worst that my officers have experienced."
Steevens highlighted that the business supplied produce to the general public, restaurants, schools and community shops. "While we always endeavour to support businesses to ensure they supply safe food, where there are continued breaches or breaches which put the public at risk, it is our obligation to take action to protect the public," he said. "The Magistrates considered that the offences were so severe that Farm Catering Ltd should be prohibited from running a food business."
Councillor John Kennett, cabinet member for regulatory services at Hart District Council, explained that taking people to court was always a last resort action. "We provide support for organisations who are struggling to maintain their food hygiene practices and offer free help, advice and training," he said.
"However the health of residents is our first priority and, when businesses repeatedly ignore normal standards of hygiene, our Environmental Health officers will take action to protect the public. Hundreds of businesses in Hart maintain safe standards and there was no reason why Farm Catering Ltd could not do the same."

FSP EP 1000 UPS review - Why need an UPS these days?
- Written by Petrus-Iulian "Devon" Fatu
- Published in Case/ PSU reviews
I decided to take a look into the benefits of uninterruptible power-supplies, and with the aid of FSP's EP1000, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Power-failures are never fun. They're not something planned or intended to begin with, but when they occur, they almost always have negative effects. Yet, the extent to which you suffer from them differs – it's one thing for the lights to go out in the evening, and another to lose hours of video-editing because of an unexpected black-out (and the inability to do a proper back-up). To counter such consequences and minimize the damage, you could look for an UPS, and thankfully, these have become increasingly affordable these days. While budget ones are fairly straightforward, the more advanced variants feature a number of additions, such as surge-protection, network guard, phone and internet sockets. Most, these days, even have a software package that shows battery status in real time or shuts down your PC when you're at the desk.
FSP has been a key-player in the power-supply business. For a while now, they have had a vast number of PSUs and UPSs available on the market. One of their current line-ups is the EP-series, represented by 6 models. I have managed to get my hands on the EP-1000, which is the mid-range version, still retaining most features the high-end EP-2000 comes with.
However, I'm not interested in just writing about this UPS, after all, at the heart of an uninterruptible power-supply is a battery, and that's about it. A review would be very, very short if I'd focus only on that. Instead, I also want to see why you should go looking for an UPS, and if it's worth the trouble.

Latin Boys Go to Hell
1997, NR, 80 min. Directed by Ela Troyano. Starring Irwin Ossa, John Bryant Davila, Alexis Artiles, Mike Ruiz, Jennifer Lee Simard, Guinevere Turner.
REVIEWED By Steve Davis, Fri., Sept. 5, 1997
It's unclear what type of movie Latin Boys Go to Hell aspires to be: Melodrama? Parody? Psychodrama? Soap opera? Tragedy? Or is it all of the above? Whatever its aspirations, the film constantly struggles for an identity as it veers from the straightforward to the histrionic to the near-camp, leaving you asking yourself afterward, "What was that all about?" Adapted from Andre Salas' novel, Latin Boys Go to Hell features several New York City Latino and Latina characters, each with his or her set of problems, mostly the love kind. The film's couplings are both gay and straight. What's interesting -- and yet somewhat disappointing, in a backhanded way -- is how the homosexuality issue is never really explored from a cultural perspective. (The frequent visual references to Catholic iconography almost go there but lack the necessary context.) But, as you might expect from the title, a few of the movie's males fit certain ethnic stereotypes -- jealous, quick-tempered, irrational, deceitful -- while others are of a kinder, gentler nature. Director Troyano uses an over-the-top TV sudser called Dos Vidas as a running commentary of sorts all through the movie, using the program's storyline to serve as a not-so-subtle counterpoint to what's happening in the lives of the film's characters. In addition to this narrative device, he periodically employs imagery that is often befuddling. What's with the stuffed toy clown? Or the statue of the Virgin Mary with tears running down her face? By the the time the plot of Latin Boys Go to Hell starts playing like some bad Mexican potboiler, the movie seems to be in another world, complete with a cackling gunman seemingly turned deranged overnight. In another more accomplished and experienced filmmaker's hands, this fevered turn might have been something deliriously entertaining. Imagine Pedro Almodovar here -- he would have taken these boys to hell and back, and to all kinds of places in between.

Picture: Peter Andre and former Miss World, Rosanna Davison at the opening of Skechers Footwear. Dublin, Ireland - 08.12.10
Australian singer Peter Andre has still not fully recovered following his emergency operation last month (Nov10), revealing he's suffering "bleeding issues".
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker was taken ill on 26 November (10) and underwent a procedure at a hospital in Somerset, England to treat "excruciating" stomach pains.
He was forced to scrap two shows on his current trek across Britain and ordered to rest by doctors. The star was diagnosed with poisoning in his kidneys but was subsequently allowed back to work.
However, Andre admits he's still not back to full health.
In his column for Britain's New magazine, he writes, "For those who have been asking about my health, I'm still feeling OK, if not 100 per cent better.
"There's still some bleeding issues, but my doctor has assured me it's fine for me to perform, so I'm determined not to let my fans down."

Salman Taseer's assassinator finds "fans" on Facebook
Hundreds of Facebook users have welcomed liberal Salman Taseer's killing.
Islamabad: Hundreds of Facebook users have welcomed liberal Pakistani politician Salman Taseer's killing as a strike against reformers of the country's tight blasphemy laws.
The Punjab governor was shot on Tuesday by one of his guards, 26-year-old Mumtaz Qadri, who confessed to assassinating Taseer because of his vocal opposition to the blasphemy law that was recently used to sentence a Pakistani-Christian woman, Asia Bibi, to death.
Nearly 2,000 Facebook users joined one group on the social networking site praising Qadri, and dozens of "fans" joined other pages set up in Qadri's honour in hours after the assassination took place.
All the pages had been removed by Wednesday, and Facebook was not immediately reachable for comment, the Dawn reports.
But other private account holders used their Facebook status updates to make comments such as: "We salute you Mumtaz Qadri," "Thank God he (Taseer) is not alive (any) more" and praise for the attacker as "a soldier of Islam".
In a sign of mainstream media opposition, Pakistan's leading Urdu-language newspaper 'Jang' ran a front-page story declaring: "There should be no funeral for Salman Taseer and no condemnation for his death."
"A supporter of a blasphemer is also a blasphemer," said a sub-heading, reporting that 500 religious scholars and clerics had paid tribute to Qadri.
But voices also came out to denounce the gunman, and Facebook page named "I Hate Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri" had 70 "fans" with no comments or discussions.
The Facebook users who spoke out in Taseer's support expressed sadness over the growing Islamisation of the country.
"Sad over Death of Tolerance in Pakistan. Governor Punjab killed by his 'lunatic guard'," said one man on his status.
"Pretext: Late Governor Salman Taseer was bold enough to stand-up against Blasphemy law… extensively used/abused against religious minorities," he added.
"It is sad. I shiver thinking where we are heading and in which society my kids will live their lives," said another.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Army Officers Club on Facebook has posted the killer's video, titled: "Sher Jawan - Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri`s Interview".
Analysts say that the assassination underscores how deeply religious extremism has penetrated Pakistan's conservative society, with even the Internet-literate elite resorting to social networking site Facebook to rally support for the killer.

President Obama is a busy man, jetting back and forth to handle international relations, visits to disaster zones, and other presidential-like matters. But the set of DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon 2 isn't exactly the first place you'd expect him to turn up, yet that's exactly what he did when he stopped by the animation studios for a speech on the American economy, of which the entertainment industry is a huge part (DreamWorks' CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg is one of the President's biggest financial backers so it was possible President Obama was doing his supporter a solid).
The President checked out the awesome mocapping work done in the sequel, and was highly impressed at the ingenuity and work that goes in to making a DreamWorks' film. Check it out:
Love him or hate him, you have to hand it to President Obama that he is always present in the moment wherever he is, and genuinely interested in listening to the people around him.
