Salon Tragedy Shocks Nation, Industry
Those who live in Seal Beach, CA, affectionately refer to the sleepy community as 'Mayberry By the Sea,' but on Wednesday, October 12, the town, located about 30 southeast miles from Los Angeles, was the unlikely scene of a workplace shooting that is sending shock waves through the nation, as well the professional beauty industry.
At approximately 1:30 p.m., a heavily armed man wearing a bullet-proof vest walked into Salon Meritage, which is in the 500 block of the Pacific Coast Highway, and opened fire. Six people were killed immediately, and three were hospitalized with severe injuries. Two of the hospitalized victims later succumbed to their injuries.
Seal Beach police have identified the shooting suspect as Scott Evans De Kraai, 42, a former marine who is the ex-husband of one of the salon's stylists. The names of the deceased are being withheld until family members have been notified, but relatives of Michelle Fournier, De Kraai's ex wife, have confirmed she was a victim of the shooting to reporters. They believe she was the main target because of an alleged custody suit. According to the Los Angeles Times, one of the other victims of the shooting is thought to be Randy Fannin, the owner of the salon.
De Kraai was taken into custody a half-mile from the crime scene—police have reported he was driving in a residential community. "Our officers arrived at the scene and found multiple gunshot victims inside of the salon," Sgt. Steve Bowles of the Seal Beach Police Department told reporters Wednesday evening. "Other responding officers who arrived saw what they thought was a suspect vehicle leaving the area and they took that suspect into custody."
Police cordoned off the light blue bungalow in nearby Huntington Beach, De Kraai's home for the past two years. Neighbors told reporters they often saw him outside in the yard playing catch with his son.
According to news agencies, clients have began gathering at Salon Meritage Thursday morning—anxious to learn news of their favorite stylist as they light candles, leave flowers or say a prayer.
"Seal Beach is a small safe community. We don't experience these things," said Bowles.
While details of the shooting continue to emerge, it's important to note that the National Cosmetolgy Association/Professional Beauty Assocation has developed Cut It Out, a program of the Salons Against Domestic Abuse Fund dedicated to mobilizing proessionals and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the United States. "Cut It Out builds awareness of domestic abuse and trains salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients or co-workers to local resources," says Rachel Molepske, manager of charitable programs for PBA. "Materials are avaliable for clients and staff and can be ordered free of charge at cutitout.org."
The struggle for many salons, owners, and stylists is how to put this tragedy into perspective for themselves and their clients. We invited some of the industry's leading coaches to offer their advice:
"We will never be able to put into perspective what happened in Seal Beach, CA, at Salon Meritage. The lives of the victims ended too soon, and at the hand of a very sick, evil person. Thousands of people—family, friends and clients are forever changed. But there are a few things we CAN do. Most importantly, we need to keep these surviving people in our prayers, and offer support if we can. Next, we need to educate ourselves on abuse and reach out to help people who may be afraid of someone who is hurting them, or threatening to hurt them, and help them get the resources they need to get out of the situation. We are the salon industry, we are powerful, we are able to reach people the way NO other industry can. Domestic violence happens everywhere, there are people living every day in fear. Find out what you can do to help. Go to cutitout.org and order the posters for your salon and the information cards to pass out. Crystal Focus is committed to supporting these efforts through putting the Cut It Out safety informaiton cards in all of our product orders, and we will continue to look for more ways to support this important message. Let's stand together, will you join us?"—Kristi Valenzuela, Crystal Focus Salon Coaching
"Let's unite as salon owners and systlis and have a national awareness day and make their salon the 'daymakers' of the year. I will have my two salons donate of 100 percent of what we generate that day and help that salon build a safe house for women."—Adrian Morris, Lemon Lime Salon, Falmouth, Massachusetts
"I just returned to the salon from an annual event, 'The Walk Against Violence,' which builds awareness of domestic violence and raises funds for our local crisis center. I cannot tell you how saddened I am to read of this horrific tragedy in Seal Beach. Here, in our local city we have the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, providing services to more than 3,000 women and children annually, who are victims of domestic violence. Twelve years ago, Interlocks Salon became a champion of their cause, raising awareness and funds, to support the work of the center. You can read about their ground-breaking work and their recent recognition by President Obama at jeannegeigercrisiscenter.org. My salon resides in an educated, affluent community, but domestic violence knows no socio-economic boundaries, nor is it specific to 'typical' victims—sadly, it affects 1 in 4 women, and 1 in 2 tennage girls. Here in Massachusetts our district attourney recently mailed packets to every salon in cour county titled, 'A Guide for Salon Professionals,' in an effort to build greater awareness of domestic violence. Our salon industry can play a valuable role in recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship, and offering information on receiving help. In our salon, we do this by displaying various types of information in discreet locations, such as our salon bathrooms and dressing rooms. Great information is available through the national organization 'Cut It Out,' for salon professions: cutitout.org. As a united industry, we do have the ability to make a difference."—Ginny Eramo, Interlocks Salon Spa in Newbury Port, Massachusetts.
"As crazy as it sounds, I haven't had a television for three months, as mine stopped working and I decided not to replace it since I hardly use it anyway. Life has been more stress-free, and to be honest, it hasn't been missed. The bad (but good) thing is, when a tragedy such as this happens, I don't know about it. Good, because the bad feelings and fear associated with such random and unjust action are usually unknown, and bad because life isn't always a euphoric experience and humanity isn't always good and that is reality. Awareness causes us to pray, to be sympathetic, and to take action when needed. In our industry being 'in the know' is sort of a requirement, since we visit with people all day; and that gives us the ability to find the positives, diffuse the drama, and to spread feelings of compassion and hope. It sounds like a powerful position. What if we made that our goal every single day?"—Donna Watkins, Hairy's Salon, Leanon, Missouri
"This is a terrible tragedy, and not unlike other events that have occurred in schools, grocery stores or churches. It is important for salons to remain a place where clients celebrate beauty and happiness. Stylists should be mindful of their conversations so that they are careful not to sensationalize the venue, but rather come together as a salon community to focus on the real issue of domestic violence, and not associate that experience with their livelihood."—Heather Bagby, Summit Salon Business Center
"There are times when our industry seems more like an extended family stretched across the world. The horrible incident at Salon Meritage in Califronia has brought us all closer together. My heart goes out to all of the people who were affected in any way. Please know that YOU are in our prayers. This is a sign of the volatile times we live in. Somthing like this horrendous event is happening every time you watch the news. It becomes a reminder to keep your eyes open and be aware of what is happening all around you. Today, we must leave our homes after hugging and expressing our love to all those who matter. We must remember to live our lives fully. We must make the most of each day and open up to help the people around us. These things help to create a gentler and more patient neighbor. We must all realize that we can work, live, love, laugh and coexist together in a positive way. I prayed it would never come to this. The salon is a place where all good thing happen. We have been stained by the way our world is now. Please join me in strengthening our industry by helping those around us live a better life. To Salon Meritage: I wish all of you the power to forgive and heal as quickly as possible. You are in my thoughts and prayers." —Geno Stampora, Stampora Consulting
"Alhough this terrible thing happened in a salon, it was unrelated to the primary victim's profession. It was a lunatic husband on a killing rampage whose wife could just as easily have been a postal worker, a welder, or a computer consultant. It especially hits all of us so hard because it was a salon, and I suspe t gives us cause to feel vulnerable in the course of our daily lives. In this case, it happened to pepole spending time in a salon...like so many of us every day. All of our hearts go out to the families of the victims, but do not let this random, senseless and terrible tragedy leave you, me or any of us in the industry in fear of our lives in the palces we love to work in every day."Alex Irving, Esche and Alexander Public Relations
"The business of beauty took a tragic hit with the shooting in Seal Beach. We are a community of professionals who touch people and now we grieve over the loss of colleagues and guests. Yes, it could have happened anywhere, but it happened in a professional salon and that makes it personal for all of us. What can we do? Place a black ribbon somewhere behind your front desk to show you know and care for the salon and for those who should be remembered."—Bart Foreman, Group 3 Marketing
"I first heard about this tragedy from one of our team members. She used to live in California and worked at a salon very near to the one where the tragedy happened. Of course, I was saddened, but more than that angry and confused. I just don't know what would possess someone to do such a thing. It makes me feel very protective over my staff and our clients and makes me want to comfort them even more when in our spaces. Life is tough and crazy and sometimes just too much—we all need comfort and I hope that the families of the people who lost their lives are able to find this in coming days."—Jason Hall, Red 7 Salon, Chicago, Illinois
"This is so horrific! As I read it to my team on the salon floor, everyone began to tear up. We are so close, I just can't imagine what these people and their families are going through. It makes me feel so grateful for the people I work with and the clients we serve."—Lauren Hart, The Root Salon, Phoenix, Arizona
"To the families and friends of those impacted by this tragedy, our heartfelt prayers are sent to you to lift you from despair. We are deeply saddened by your loss."—Geno and Cindy Levi and staff, Geno Levi Salon, McMurray, Pennsylvania
"This act of senseless killing of those innocent people was not only shameful, but frightful. As a salon owner, I set my obligations very high. I'm always concerned about the safety of my employees and my patrons. They are my family and my friends. My greatest feat is that some outrageous accident will occur and I have no control over the situation. To all of those people who were impacted by this senseless killing, my heart goes out to you. May you all find the strength to continue your lives in peace."—Debora Capaldi, Pucci Salon, Scottsdale, Arizona

Surely it's far easier to buy a film holder from Betterscanning.com. You will need to do this anyway, as the Epson holders are complete rubbish. The betterscanning holders allow continuous height adjustment - the difference is amazing, and as a V750 user, it is clear to me that most of the bad reports about this capable machine are a consequence of the poor design of the OEM holders.BTW, if you place the neg directly on the glass, you will get an out-of-focus image and Newton rings. No need to do that.
The bulb is not Minolta-specific, but a standard-issue part readily available from a number of electronics component retailers.It's also available on eBay from a Chinese seller. I very recently bought one from him myself without any transaction or shipment issues.Apart from that, +1 for the Minolta. Like the much more expensive Imacon/Hasselblad, everything has been said, ranted, researched, and optimized about this scanner 10 years ago, therefore no surprises, firmware fixes, reinventing the wheel or having to play guinea pig/early adopter as in the case of the Opticfilm Plustek 120. The Minolta has a glass holder! It's got autofocus! It works with Vuescan! Take that, Plustek...
Hey NightFire,Thanks also to you for your input. Do I understand you correctly: It IS possible to find a sparre bulb for this scanner quite easily? This scanner is the most appealing to me, but I'm afraid to be left in the cold if something mayor like the bulb breaks/dies.Thanks
With the glass holder, in the box with everything it came with, $3300.I sold it because I hadn't used it in a while, finding the Epson to be faster for proofing and smaller print sizes. When everything hits, meaning the film is flat, the negative has enough density on the emulsion side to thwart Newton's Rings on the glass holder's non-AR coated side, the scans were amazing, on par with the Imacon. It just takes work and patience to get there, while the Epson gives consistent, if lower quality, results very easily. Perfect for 16"x16" prints from a 6x6 neg.
Thank you all for your insight on this - very much appreciate it!Will be interesting to see a proper test of the Plustek 120.With reagards to banding on the Nikon 9000, how many of of you have experienced this issue with 6x6 and VueScan on that machine?Best,G
I know this is a hard question to answer ("collector's item") but... When you say "priced fairly", how much would you max. spend on this scanner if you were me? I've seen them trade anywhere from $1.800 to $2.900.A Nikon 9000 in good condition with a late serial trade from $3.000 and up and doesn't (normally) include the "scanhancer" holders that everyone seem to be raving about. Also, the Nikon seems to have banding issues with med format (when scanning with all three sensors).So I would really like to get my hands on a Minolta - if I can get a spare lamp... :-)
Hi,if you don't have the budget for an Imacon, I would go with the V750. But Imacons have their issues too.With the V750 some things are vital. If you don't want to do this don't use the V750: Check whether your scanner is good. With my first V750 a good scan was not possible, because it was out of spec and broken. It was difficult to find that out. It switched for example not between the two possible planes of focus physically but said so in the software menu. It was sent in few times. Finally I got an other one from Epson. Service was horrible. It is not easy to deal with Epson. I was able to compare to different V750ies and could demonstrate the problem with the one I had, by delivering scans of the same neg with different scanners almost with scientific accuracy. The one I use now is fine. In my opinion many of the bad reputation of this scanner comes from scanners which are actually out of spec or broken in any way already on arrival. Find the plane of sharpest image. Cumbersome and lengthy process. To go higher with the plane is easy. You can add spacers to the 4 screws that hold the top chassis of the scanner. To go lower is more complicated. You have to add spacers to the glass mount. If you do so, you avoid additional glass holders/surfaces. I optimized mine for 8x10. If you optimize for 6x6, you don't have to lower the scanner glass. Finding the right hight is enough.Ohter things which are important during usage: Clean scanner glas. Top and bottom, as mentioned by FredBGG. I put the neg dry to the glass. Around the neg I have a mask with the same thickness of the negative. Atop of this I put a AN glass from an enlarger. That adds minimal pressure to the neg to keep it flat, by doing so, the tendency to Newton rings is decreased. Being careful you can wet mount directly on the scanner glass.You can optimize your "dust" workflow:I develop myself with an Jobo CPA/CPP (very easy) and use only demineralized water (clean). I dry the film without a dryer. Just hang them. If dry I scan at once without putting the film in sleeves or anything. I almost have no dust spots to clean. With b&w film you can go to higher densities. This reduces the tendency to newton rings.Fun with your Hasselblad 503 cw. I'm such an idiot that I sold mine in the year 2000.Hope that helps.Best,Johannes

I am a spaniel owner and fan of this dog breed. I aim to share stories through writing and spread my knowledge about these great dogs.
When I had my English Springer Spaniel, Lady, I hardly ever noticed any breath issues. Which was sort of strange, seeing as she was an outdoors and farming kind of dog that would investigate pretty much anything with her nose and mouth. You can use your imagination as far as what those things may or may not have been.
Enter my English Cocker Spaniel Luna who has bad breath issues, but came from a showing background and is not as much of an outdoor dog as Lady was. Her breath can be an issue at times, especially when she showers me with all of those licks that I enjoy so much.
First off, if you detect chronic bad breath in a dog, it could be an underlying issue of dental decay or gum disease, and you should definitely book an appointment with your veterinarian immediately to get it checked. Another cause could be a gastronomic problem, along with issues of liver or kidneys, not stuff to wait on or mess with. It could also just be time for routine dental maintenance such as a tooth and gum cleaning.
We brought Luna into our vet's offices, where my fiance works as a vet tech, and they were able to determine Luna had a clean bill of health as far as dental, and also no internal issues as well which was a relief. The doctor suggested part of the problem could be due to improper digestion of her food. He suggested a powder included in her food called Rx Zyme by Rx Vitamin company. One small scoop from the container into her meals is the dosage.
Basically, the product is an agent to help aid in food breakdown, as well as helping with breath, and aiding in good digestive health too. We definitely noticed an improvement after we started using it. Be sure to check with your vet though to make sure this or any other supplement is right for your dog. We always keep Luna on an organic and natural food diet and avoid processed foods to help digestion and promote overall health as well.
Dog dental chew treats could be an option for some breath maintenance. Our vet's office gave us samples of the Oravet brand dog hygiene chews, which came highly recommended because they were seeing results with other clients. Problem is, Luna would not touch them. Once in a while, we will give Luna half of one of the Milk Bone brand chews but they seem to have a lot of chemicals and not be the most organic natural option. So we pretty much use those in strict moderation even though Luna likes them.
Between grooming, for whatever reason, Luna seems to grow hair back around her mouth rather quickly. Before it gets long, we like to take our grooming clipper and very carefully, with a close guard on the clipper, buzz it back below the gums and down her chin. This simple maintenance makes it easier to help keep food particles and drool from getting around her mouth and in her cheeks. Between brushing and after meals, we also take a warm wet face cloth and wipe around her mouth and gums to help keep her as clean as possible.
While we have always brushed Luna's teeth, we have been more frequently brushing, making sure to really get inside of the mouth and around the tongue and spending more time while brushing. Luna actually does really well with getting her teeth brushed, and will wait patiently for us to be done, which is nice. However, if your dog is less than receptive to cleanings, and gives you a hard time with it, I included a great link below with lots of tips to get you going in the right direction.
You can also talk with your veterinarian about the different types of oral care and maintenance products on the market. Additives that are put into your dogs drinking water use enzyme systems to prevent plaque and odor-causing bacteria and attack biofilm. Gels further promote health by being applied to the gums that keep inflammation at bay from gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Breath freshener sprays use enzymes for anti-bacterial properties as well as fighting plaque. Oratene is a trusted name in the industry as far as quality of these products. Sometimes these practices can be used in lieu of brushing in dogs that are difficult to hold while giving dental care. It's all about finding what's right for you and your dog.

Why not the already well established 16oz? This to me is a silly move. 14oz isn't a very good size and will be passed up while Pepsi still will be selling 20oz for a bit more yes(1.45) but with almost 50% more per bottle as well.

so cool, thanks! I'm actually listening to Murder in Pigalle right now, loving every second of it. Apart from Cara's usual awesomeness, the narrator is so so good!ReplyDelete

Oh Carol, that tour must have been such fun. I'm looking forward to reading Cara's newest. Must find out what's been happening in Aimee's busy life.ReplyDelete
Those sunglasses are rather cool. Tortoiseshell frames are always so chic.
So Audrey Hepburn....sighDelete
How daring, and sounds like such fun.ReplyDelete
Sure do hope Aimee loses the high heels now that she's preggers -- and a few pastries wouldn't hurt, either. (May I have that citron one, please?) And believe me, if I had an H&M here, I'd be out the door and back already, glasses in hand!ReplyDelete
I've read all of Cara's books except Pigalle -- waiting for it in the distinctive same-style edition paperback to go on the shelf with the rest of my collection! Love the books, the background, the locations -- and that is yet ANOTHER reason why I love this post that shows them all to me "really!" Merci!
I haven't read Pigalle either. I re-read Le Marais when I was renting an apartment on rue du Pas de la Mule. I could imagine Aimée crawling over my roof. Ile St-Louis is one of my favourite spots. I especially like the church on Palm Sunday when there is a procession.ReplyDelete
I will now look over the edge of the bridges of the Seine with trepidation, anticipating dead bodies floating along. Quelle nightmare. Looks like a fun stroll.ReplyDelete
Cara, more pastry please, make mine lemon. :) This was fun.ReplyDelete

Stay positive!
Lego's smart. They know that putting a unicorn and a kitty together makes the cutest thing evar.
Unikitty would never make it sneaking into a real business. She'd have to throw around some "synergy" and "value add" to pass. At the end of the day, if she didn't utilize some of that thinking-outside-the-box to grab that low-hanging fruit, she'd be right back in Cloud Cuckoo Land instead of The Cloud, where everybody who's anybody wants to be.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's soccer team will close out its regular season when they host Florida Gulf Coast (Oct. 21, 7 p.m.) and Stetson (Oct. 23, 1 p.m.) at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. Friday will be Senior Night, where the Lipscomb women's soccer program will say goodbye to three of the most important players in program history: Danielle Bethke, Kirsten Heikkinen and Meghan McGuire.
Lipscomb (4-11-1, 2-5-0 in the Atlantic Sun) enters the weekend needing favorable results to stay in the thick of the A-Sun race. With only two tournament spots up for grabs in the final weekend of the season, the Lady Bisons need to earn points in both contests to reach the tournament.
The Lady Bisons dropped decisions at Jacksonville (2-0) and North Florida (4-0) last weekend. Offensively, the Lady Bisons could only muster seven shots combined in two games, including a disappointing one shot against North Florida.
Keeper Erin Zerio did her part over the weekend, making an astounding 21 saves over two games. She enters this weekend with 87 saves this season.
Florida Gulf Coast was picked to be conference champion at the start of 2011 and hasn't disappointed. FGCU has not been defeated in the conference this season, and has not allowed a goal to a conference opponent in 2011. The Lady Eagles haven't given up a goal since losing to No. 9 Florida, 5-0, on Sept. 11.
Ashley Ciesielczyk (12 assists) and Gina Petracco (seven goals) have led the FGCU offense in 2011, but the goalkeeping of Stephanie Powers has been even better. Powers has been nearly perfect this season, posting 10 shutouts and making 70 saves while allowing only 12 goals through 16 games.
Stetson is in the same boat as the Lady Bisons, needing victories to keep their postseason hopes afloat. The Hatters offense is coming around at the right time; Stetson has scored nine goals in its previous two games.
Stetson has allowed 41 goals this season, a rate of 2.64 per game. While the Hatters offense has picked up the slack with 23 goals of its own, Stetson has suffered big losses to Embry-Riddle (5-2), Colgate (4-1), Army (5-1) and ETSU (6-3).
If the Lady Bisons qualify for the A-Sun tournament, they will travel to the higher seeds campus, Oct. 29, for the opening round of the A-Sun women's soccer tournament. If Lipscomb is lower than sixth place in the A-Sun after this weekend, the Lady Bisons season will be over.
Check LipscombSports.com for more information on the Lady Bison soccer team, and follow us on Twitter (@Lipscombwsoccer) and like us on Facebook (Lipscomb Women's Soccer).
Opponents Last Matches
Gulf Coast scored a dozen goals last weekend, defeating USC Upstate (9-0) and ETSU (3-0) in the Eagles final regular-season home matches this season. The Eagles swept the weekly A-Sun awards, with Olivia Elias (three goals, three assists) and KC Correllus (lead defender in both shutouts) earning accolades. Stetson dropped a game to ETSU (6-3), before rebounding to defeat Upstate by the same score. Kait Jones got a hat trick against Upstate, while Katie O'Kennedy scored a goal in each game.
Last Time Against This Week's Opponent
Lipscomb fell to Stetson (2-0) and Florida Gulf Coast (4-1) in 2010. Erin Zerio made five saves against Stetson. Against Gulf Coast, Courtney Williams scored her first career goal and Zerio made six saves, but Olivia Elias scored twice to lead the Eagles attack.
North Florida Blasts Lady Bisons In Final Road Match
North Florida outshot Lipscomb 22-1 and four different Lady Ospreys scored goals to give North Florida the 4-0 victory. The loss was Lipscomb's final road game of the season; Lipscomb finished 0-8-0 on the road.
Lady Bisons Offense Goes Silent against Jacksonville
Erin Zerio made 10 saves, but Liz Fink and Emily Culbreth scored for Jacksonville and Lipscomb couldn't answer, falling 2-0 to end their two-game win streak. Jacksonville outshot Lipscomb 25-6 in this game.
Lady Bisons Moving Up the All-Time Lists
Several Lady Bisons are moving up the career lists as we get further into the season. McGuire is tied for third all-time with eight career goals and is one point behind Hallie Proffitt for third all-time. Bethke overtook Proffitt for second all-time in shots with 86 and is five behind Melissa Chambers for most all-time. Erin Zerio passed Adrienne Childers for second-most saves all-time; she now has 229.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and other Republican leaders will propose Monday to raise base salaries for the least experienced teachers so that they're more competitive with Southern neighbors and the nation.
Plan details are in a document obtained by The Associated Press in advance of an announcement at the Guilford County high school that McCrory attended. House Speaker Thom Tillis, Senate leader Phil Berger and Lt. Gov. Dan Forest also will help unveil the proposal.
The document says the legislature will consider a bill to ensure all public school teachers make at least $33,000 during the 2014-15 school year and at least $35,000 the following year.
The price tag will be around $200 million.
Teachers have had only one raise since 2008, leading to low morale.

"MTA New York City Transit has worked in the past few weeks to rearrange the necessary work undertaken on the 7 Line in order to accommodate requests from community members regarding the impact that some weekend service shutdowns would have on community events along the 7 Flushing Line," read a release from the agency. "Most notably, the planned 7 Line service shutdown scheduled for the weekend of May 17 and 18 has been cancelled and NYC Transit will run normal 7 Line service."
Richard Mazda, founder of The Secret Theater and director of the LIC Arts Open, which is scheduled for May 14–18 this year, said he was "beyond ecstatic" to hear the news.
At a town hall meeting held in Long Island City on March 27, Mazda was one of many concerned locals to address several members of the MTA board. There, he asked them to at least consider not shutting down 7 train in service for the same weekend in 2015, having given up all hope that service would be restored on the weekend of May 17–18 this year.
In an email distributed the evening of the MTA announcement, Mazda said, "We're not sure how this came about, but the 7 train is running during this year's Arts Open! If this came out of the town hall meeting, then thank you President [Carmen] Bianco and the MTA board."
Along with full 7 train service, Mazda said, Brooklyn Flea will be providing a private shuttle service operating between Vernon Boulevard and 23rd Street, taking patrons directly to participating studios.
State Senator Mike Gianaris, who has been in talks with the MTA about the current round of weekend 7 train maintenance since late last year, issued a statement the morning of the announcement, saying, "Finally the MTA has not only listened to our community on this issue, but taken action.
"LIC Springs! and other events like the LIC Flea and the LIC Arts Open are wonderful displays of how much our neighborhood has to offer, so I appreciate the MTA making it easier to get people here for this one weekend," Gianaris said.
Other alterations to scheduled service were announced for the weekends of May 3–4, May 31–June 1, Sept. 20–21, and Nov. 15–16.
Also discussed heavily at the March 27th town hall was the community's desire for shuttle bus service currently operating between Vernon-Jackson and Queensboro Plaza to extend to Grand Central Station. Both Gianaris and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer urged the MTA to reconsider their refusal to provide shuttle service into Manhattan.
At the time, Bianco promised residents he would deliver existing data to elected officials that shows a shuttle extension into Manhattan is unfeasible, however such data has yet to surface.

State cuts hurting Berlin water customersBy SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader
December 07. 2012 12:51AM
BERLIN - The state's decision to defer payments promised to Berlin for its water and sewer upgrades will cost the city $5 million over the life of the bond issue, said Mayor Paul Grenier.
Grenier said the city is halfway through the project that included an upgrade to equipment and an increase in capacity at the water treatment plant. ?In November, the Berlin City Council passed a resolution calling upon state legislators to restore funding to the project, citing RSA 486 and RSA 486-A. That legislation authorized a grant program for communities to receive from 20 to 30 percent assistance toward principal and interest payments on eligible infrastructure projects. The resolution cited 124 municipal projects that were deemed eligible for the funding but did not receive money because the Legislature has deferred appropriations to the program since 2008.
The projects, the resolution states, were constructed in reliance of grant funding.
The backlog, according to the council's Resolution 2012-34, which passed on Nov. 19, includes "100 wastewater projects totaling more than $46 million; 17 public water supply projects totaling more than $7.5 million; and 7 landfill projects totaling more than $800,000 in grant requests."
This week, Grenier said the state's contribution of 20 percent was an obvious factor when the city was developing the project. In October, Conway selectmen heard from North Conway Water Precinct Superintendent David Brenier, who said that for two state budget cycles the precinct has not received promised grant funds. For the last four years, he said, the precinct has paid all the principal and interest due on bonds without the grant money.
Precinct consultant Bill Hounsell said at the time that they were asking the board to join with other towns in a letter asking then-candidates for the Legislature to restore the funding. At an earlier meeting, Hounsell said the North Conway Water Precinct is owed $615,000. The Conway Village Fire District, which supplies water and sewer in its district, has had to pass on costs incurred by the state's suspending its aid to its ratepayers.
Leah Valladares, municipal bookkeeper, said Thursday that if the state aid grant program were to fund the delayed and deferred list then the district would be eligible to receive $345,000, 30 percent of the $1,150,000 that it has already paid on bonds for projects approved by district voters in 2006.
"In addition," Valladares said, "Conway Village Fire District has a biannual Rural Development loan payment due in February and August each year of $252,772. Of that amount, 55 percent or $139,025 is wastewater related, and DES SAG should pay 30 percent of that value or $41,708 every six months. Over 26 years and a total of 52 payments, that would total $2,168,816. Currently, Conway Village Fire District has made three of these payments.
"If the State fulfilled its obligation today, they would owe $470,124.00 and continue the biannual payments of $41,708.00 for the remainder of the loan."
"There are currently 60 municipalities seeking payments from the environmental state aid grant program," stated Timothy Fortier, governmental affairs advocate with the New Hampshire Municipal Association. "All of these public works projects are complete and eligible for state grant assistance, although the state Legislature has not funded this account in FY's 09, 10, 11 and 12."
In the meantime, local ratepayers are making up the difference.

HOOVER, Ala. – Justin Bryant got a line-out from Georgia's Colby May with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth as the Auburn baseball team survived an elimination game with a 3-2 win on Wednesday afternoon at the SEC Tournament at Regions Park. The win improved Auburn's record to 31-27 and kept the team at the tournament for at least one more day, where it will face the loser of the Vanderbilt-South Carolina game on Thursday at 4:30 pm CT.
"It has been the theme all year; every game, every situation, every pitch, and here we are again. Ninth inning, anything can happen," Auburn Head Coach John Pawlowski said. "We were very fortunate today to come out with a win. I am really proud of our team. We responded well today."
Bryant, who had homered in the third inning to put Auburn up, 3-0, entered with two on and two out in the eighth and Auburn clinging to a one-run lead. He needed just four pitches to strike out Georgia's Curt Powell, who was already 2-for-3 with a pair of singles, to preserve the one-run advantage.
"Justin Bryant is one of the truest competitors we have on the team. He swung the bat and got on the mound. I am really pleased with our club tonight," Pawlowski said.
Georgia would not go quietly, however. After a ground out started the ninth, Kyle Farmer tripled to right-center, putting the tying run at third with only one out. Auburn opted to pull the infield in for Brett DeLoach and Bryant induced a hard chopper to Dan Glevenyak at short, who looked Farmer back before going to first. Georgia then worked a pair of walks, the second after Bryant had Peter Verdin down 0-2, before May lined out to Bobby Andrews in left, who squeezed the glove for the final out.
Bryant picked up his seventh save of the season with his 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief.
Auburn took a 1-0 lead in the first when Jay Gonzalez walked, stole second and scored from second on a Patrick Savage single back up the middle.
Gonzalez then led off the third with a single to left and stole second, going to third as Georgia catcher Joey Delmonico's throw sailed into center. A Creede Simpson RBI groundout followed for a two-run lead before Bryant blasted a two-out solo home to left, his fourth career home run in seven career games against Georgia.
"It's the SEC Tournament and your focus is turned up a little bit. I just happened to get a couple of pitches up that I could handle," Bryant said of his home run.
Auburn would get the leadoff guy on in four out of the first five innings, stealing second all four times as the team finished with five steals, one shy of the SEC Tournament single-game record.
Georgia got two runs back in the eighth off of reliever Derek Varnadore when Hunter Cole walked, Verdin singled and singles from pinch hitter Nelson Ward and Conor Welton each drove in runs, setting up the nail-biting ninth.
Auburn starter Daniel Koger (4-5) got the win, holding Georgia scoreless through 5 1/3 despite surrendering seven hits and a walk. Georgia would put a runner in scoring position in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth innings against Koger but Auburn's defense, which played an errorless game, got Koger out of the jam each time.
"Daniel Koger, to go out in that environment as a freshman, I thought he did a tremendous job," Pawlowski said.
Georgia' Michael Palazzone (2-7) took the loss, allowing all three of Auburn's runs in 4 1/3 innings on six hits and three walks.
Varnadore would be charged for two runs in 2 1/3 innings. The senior entered in the sixth with two on and one out but induced a fly out and a ground out to end the inning. He followed with a scoreless seventh before getting into trouble in the eighth.
Catcher Caleb Bowen finished the game 1-for-4 but his play behind the plate, including his blocking of balls in the dirt in the bottom of the ninth, earned praise from Bryant and Pawlowski.
"For Caleb to block that ball in the ninth, that was a tremendous play," Pawlowski said.
"Having (Bowen) behind the plate gives you confidence. He is like a brick wall," Bryant said. "You can throw anything you want to, nothing is getting by him."

Are you one of the many thousands of people who are predicted to buy a notebook (laptop) computer this year? Is your desktop system in need of an upgrade and you are considering switching to a notebook? If yes, then this PC World buying guide is for you. In this report, we equip you with all the know-how you need to buy a notebook.
We walk you through the latest information on important components, such as the CPU and graphics chips, and explain what is on offer, to help you determine what you need. We also provide information on market trends and where notebook technology might be heading in the future, as well as tips on how to get that bit extra for your dollar when dealing with the retailer.
Questions to ask yourself
Desktop PC or notebook?
Is a notebook the computer for you or are you more suited to a desktop system? If you want a notebook as a desktop replacement, you must be sure of your needs: if you think you will want to upgrade in the near future, or work with a larger monitor, then a desktop system would generally be preferable.
To increase your productivity, you can easily use your notebook in conjunction with a second monitor as nearly all notebooks now come with a VGA-out port and in some cases, even a DVI-I port for connection to LCD monitors without an adapter. There's also a growing trend in notebooks with HDMI ports for TVs. Very few, if any notebooks are still equipped with a PS/2 port for an external mouse and or keyboard as most feature at least two high-speed USB 2.0 ports allowing expandability options for printers, mice, joysticks, and other peripherals.
FireWire ports (used to connect items such as digital video cameras and external hard disks) are also quite common, especially in notebooks geared towards multimedia use.
What the decision really boils down to, though, is whether you need your computer to be mobile. For the medium term to come at least, desktop PCs will remain cheaper than notebooks at similar performance levels and provide better value while being easier to upgrade.

Two Perfect Days at the Marin Headlands
We get it: planning a getaway is tough. Vacations get jam-packed with must-see cities and must-do check lists, and every-day life gets so busy it can be hard to remember to slow down for a few days. But sometimes we all need a little time to surround ourselves with trees instead of skyscrapers, to seclude ourselves and recharge.
And fortunately, if your next trip – or your everyday life – includes time in the San Francisco Bay Area, we've got an escape for you that's so quick and easy, you won't believe how peaceful it is at the same time.
Meet the Marin Headlands. A vast area containing beaches, meadows, and seemingly endless trails for hiking and biking, this former military site is now maintained by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. The park overlooks the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, meaning it's able to offer visitors a "cut off from the real world" feel even while affording them grand views of the bridge and the city skyline. Best of all, it's home to HI Marin Headlands hostel, the perfect spot to recharge your batteries without going broke.
Check out our two-day itinerary below to find out how you can make the most of your own escape to the Headlands, no matter how tight your time , or budget.
Day One
Morning: Driving to the Marin Headlands is easy from points North and South. From the North, take Highway 101 south and get off at the last exit before the Golden Gate Bridge; from San Francisco, just cross the Golden Gate Bridge and take the Alexander Ave. exit before following signs to the park. If you're without a car, you may want to consider scheduling your visit on a weekend or holiday, when the #76 MUNI bus drops off a quick walk from HI-Marin Headlands.
Mornings in the Headlands can get foggy – the park does hover over the San Francisco Bay, after all – so now's the perfect time to explore some of the park's indoor offerings. Start with the Marine Mammal Center, a rescue-and-release center and hospital for sick and injured seals, sea lions, dolphins, harbor porpoises, and other marine mammals in distress along the California Coast. You can walk around the center for free, admiring its ocean-themed art exhibits, peeking into the "fish kitchen" where patients' meals are prepared, and even observing animals being rehabilitated on site. While admission to the facility is free, consider taking a docent-guided or audio tour ($9) to get the most out of your visit. You'll learn more about how the center returns animals to their native habitats, get a behind-the-scenes look at the facility, and contribute to the center's ongoing work with the cost of your ticket.
From the Marine Mammal Center, follow signs for the visitors' center. The center's staffed by friendly, knowledgeable staff and is a great place to start gathering information – and maps – for all of the activities available at the Headlands. Just across the road, you'll see signs for HI Marin Headlands. In the days before the Marin Headlands was a national park, it was a military base – the section the hostel now occupies was once called Fort Barry. HI USA took over a block of former officers' quarters in Fort Barry in 1980, and today, what was once military housing has been turned into cozy place to stay. Perched atop a slope overlooking a meadow full of Monterey cypress trees, the HI Marin Headlands' park-like surroundings make it feel less like a hostel and more like a historic retreat.
Though check-in at the hostel doesn't start until 3:30, you can park in the hostel's lot this morning and leave your bags in the car (or take advantage of the hostel's free bag storage service).
If the fog's still heavy, stop by the Headlands Center for the Arts, an artist-in-residence program housed in a building just next door to the hostel , to see what's happening today. The center hosts residencies for some 70 artists each year, who spend their time creating new works of art on-site. The center holds open houses several times a month, as well as annual seasonal exhibitions. Its on-site "Mess Hall" café also serves coffee and snacks, so it makes a great stop for a boost of energy before tackling the Headlands' trails!
Afternoon: Once the fog's lifted, it's time to enjoy the Headlands' main draw: an endless network of trails offering vistas of rolling hills, crashing waves, and city skylines. Staff at the hostel and the visitors' center will be able to help you plan a day full of hikes – or leisurely strolls – depending on what you're in the mood for, but there are several go-to treks worth considering.
You just can't go wrong with a trek out to Rodeo Beach, about 15 minutes from the hostel on foot. While you can also reach the beach by car, the best way to arrive is via the coastal trail that picks up near the hostel. Take in the views of the water and the craggy rock formations dotting the ocean as you come in over this easy path, then spend a lazy day relaxing on the beach with other sun worshippers.
For a more strenuous hike, try conquering Hill 88, just behind the hostel. This is the highest hill in the area, and a several-mile-long loop trail lets you take it all in on foot. While you may be out of breath by the time you reach the top of the hill, you'll be rewarded for your efforts with panoramic views of the Bay and San Francisco.
Evening: Just before sunset, drive or hike (via the coastal trail that picks up right behind the hostel) out to Conzelman Road. If you've ever seen a postcard-perfect picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline, there's a good chance the picture was shot right here. The unobstructed views of the water, bridge, and skyscrapers is stunning any time of day, but sunset casts a particularly lovely light on the whole scene.
Back at the hostel, take advantage of the fully equipped guest kitchen and get cooking. Part of the allure of the Headlands is just how isolated it is despite its proximity to San Francisco, so make sure you arrive with groceries!
The hostel has common areas with all kinds of weekend-in-the-woods amenities to help you enjoy the rest of your night, like a fireplace, board games, and even a game room complete with pool, ping-pong, and foosball tables.
Day Two
Morning: If you're still feeling active after all of yesterday's hiking, head downstairs to the hostel's yoga room to greet the day with some sun salutations. From blocks, to mats, to music, the hostel has everything you need to get the most out of your practice.
Once you've got your energy flowing, jump in the car and drive down the hill to Sausalito. This little bayside town just below the Headlands can be as pricey as it is scenic, but you don't need to break the bank in order to enjoy a day here!
Afternoon: Park downtown and ditch the car in favor of walking, biking, or boating.
Sausalito's waterfront location has a huge impact on the town's image and lifestyle, so a bayside exploration is a must for any visitor. Make your way on foot to the Sausalito Yacht Harbor, where well-to-do locals park their impressive rides. The water, the boats, and the hills in the background give the harbor an almost Caribbean feel, especially when the sun's shining.
After you're done admiring the boats, it's time to get out on the water, yourself. At the Sausalito Ferry Terminal, you can catch a boat across the bay to San Francisco for around $10 each way. The boat ride takes a little under half an hour, and drops you off at the San Francisco Ferry Building. Once there, spend a few hours tasting your way through a warren of restaurants, bars, ice cream and coffee shops, gourmet grocery stores, and other culinary hot spots.
If you'd rather spend the day biking than boating, skip the ferry and make your way to Sausalito Bike Rentals, where you can rent cycles starting at $10 an hour. You'll be just a few miles from the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito's famous houseboats, either of which make perfect biking destinations.
Evening: Back in the Headlands, take advantage of one of the night hikes offered by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy or the hostel. HI Marin Headlands leads a free evening hike through different sections of the park each week; to sign up just ask at the front desk when you check in. The Parks Conservancy also leads special night hikes to the Point Bonita Lighthouse each month on the full moon (while the full moon hikes are free, they do require advance registration. Call the Marin Headlands Visitors' Center at 415-331-1540 to reserve your spot).
If you're all hiked out, consider spending the rest of the evening in Sausalito or one of the small surrounding towns. HI Marin Headlands General Manager Meghan Ellwood recommends Sauslito's Sartaj India Café for delicious, inexpensive meals, and the Pelican Inn in Muir Beach for drinks and snacks in a setting that will whisk you away to the English countryside.
Of course, there's so much to do in the area, you could easily spend more than just a few days at the Headlands! For even more ideas of how to spend your time in the Marin Headlands and beyond, check out our guides to volunteering, hiking, and more in our Bay Area National Parks.

At least two people have been killed in a powerful storm system that knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses and caused widespread damage in north Arkansas, officials said.
Brandon Morris, a spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management, said one person was killed when a tree fell on a van in the community of Black Rock in Lawrence County.
Craighead County Coroner Toby Emerson said one person was killed on Walnut Street in Jonesboro when a tree fell on his home and crushed him. Emerson identified the man as retired Jonesboro police officer Tom Sanford.
Morris said there was "widespread damage" across Lawrence, Jackson, Craighead and other counties in northern and northeast Arkansas.
In Swifton in Jackson County there was a report of weather-related damage to the fire station and city hall. And at the Jonesboro Regional Airport, the winds blew a Cessna plane 30 feet into the air before coming down and landing on its top, Twitter user @JoshDMartin reported.
"Insane wind," he wrote in the post.
Arkansas State Police also said that a train derailed near the Poinsett and Craighead county line. Spokesman Bill Sadler said the winds caused an unknown number of train cars to overturn on U.S. 49. The train was moving at the time of the accident, but no injuries were immediately reported from the derailment.
"There were approximately 30 shipping containers that spilled out of the train cars into the roadway," Sadler said.
The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department reported on its Twitter account that section five of U.S. 49 is closed as a result of the derailment.
The storm was dropping quarter-sized hail and whipping up winds in excess of 60 mph, according to National Weather Service Doppler radar.
Thousands of Arkansans lost power because of the storms. Entergy Arkansas reported after 2 p.m. that 26,894 of its customers were in the dark, with most of them in Mississippi, Craighead, Poinsett, Jackson and Independence counties. North Arkansas Electric Cooperative reported 4,045 customers without power at 2 p.m., down from 6,600 outages at 1 p.m.
In the Cash area, strong winds broke power lines in the area of Arkansas 18 and Arkansas 226, the Jonesboro Police Department said Thursday afternoon.
At Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, several trees on campus were felled in the storm, and officials advised residents to move to the ground level of a building or to take shelter.
Bill Smith, the university's marketing director, said classes were canceled for the remainder of Thursday and all day Friday. Web-assisted and online classes are continuing as normal, as the campus servers are still functional, Smith said. A statement on the university's website said canceling classes would allow officials to "continue to respond to the storm damage" and "give employees time to manage their personal situations."
The National Weather Service in Little Rock said that thunderstorms wind gusts were measured at 51 mph at the Newport airport.
"If these storms hold together as expected, we will see quite a few reports of damaging winds," Robinson said earlier Thursday. "There could also be some large hail and isolated tornadoes."
Severe weather is expected again Friday for all but the southwest and south-central parts of the state, and Saturday over north and central Arkansas.
Robinson said rain totals through Saturday night will average 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches over the northern half of Arkansas and will rise to 2 to 4 inches in some spots.
The best chances of severe weather in Arkansas "will be north of a line from Marianna to Conway to Van Buren," National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologist John Robinson said in an email earlier Thursday morning.
The Storm Prediction Center placed northern Arkansas under a moderate risk of severe weather Thursday, along with southern Missouri, western Tennessee, northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas.
A plane at the Jonesboro Regional Airport was damaged by a storm that moved through the region Thursday.
Storms on Thursday, June 5, 2014, damaged utility poles on Commerce Drive in east Jonesboro.

The two characters barely even have a relationship; they're a union of demographics--the "urban" market meets the slapstick-action market.
Read Full Review
A somewhat lackluster cop buddy movie that goes wrong in two big ways: (1) it fails to utilize Chan's full range of skills, relegating him to the role of a kickboxing action hero and virtually ignoring his comedic aptitude, and (2) it saddles him with a partner, played by the irritating Chris Tucker.
There's a familiar feeling to the movie even beyond its twinkle-eyed martial arts melees.
Lightweight and made out of familiar elements, but they're handled with humor and invention.
It's the kind of copycat movie that becomes original through its cast and treatment.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that there is a lot of action and fighting in this film. While in scene after scene, the violence is meant to be funny, exaggerated and admired for Jackie Chan's martial artistry, the destruction is still considerable. A child is kidnapped and held captive. There are gunfights; buildings are blown up; two men are shot point-blank while trying to protect the little girl; there are car chases and crashes; and participants are threatened with multiple weapons, including rifles, guns, and axes. Swearing and harsh language ("s--t," "ass," other vulgar expressions, and some racial slurs) are heard throughout the film, and, like the action, it's meant to be mostly comedic and to define the characters. Marijuana use is featured in a bar scene, referred to upon occasion, again with humor as a goal.
Messages: Appearances can be deceiving: a police officer who seems to be inept and out-of-control turns out to be heroic and responsible under extreme conditions. People of disparate cultures can learn to respect one another and work together to reach a positive outcome.
Role models: Both police and FBI agents are portrayed as ineffective, bumbling, and quick to jump to erroneous conclusions. The two heroes are loyal and compassionate, though they make a lot of mistakes and often are successful because they're lucky rather than good.
Violence: Extensive martial arts fighting throughout. Though it's definitely cartoon-like action in most instances, there are bodies strewn on the floor after a fight; there's a point-blank shooting of two bodyguards; and some minor bloody injuries are shown. A little girl is kidnapped and held captive; she's seen struggling with her assailants. There are lots of gun fights, car chases, accidents, and explosions.
Sex: A girl briefly dances provocatively in a T-shirt; there's one reference to "sleeping together."
Language: Frequent swearing with repeated use of "s--t," "ass," "Goddamn," "hell." Sprinkled throughout is other coarse language: "kiss my fat ass," "punk bitch," "balls," etc. A few racial slurs are used: "Chun King Cop," "Mr. Rice-A-Roni," and the "n" word is uttered for humor by an African-American police officer, then copied by his Asian counterpart.
Consumerism: Brief visual or spoken references to Epson, Pacific Bell, Nikon, Fed Ex, Miller Lite, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. United Airlines is featured in several scenes.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: There's some discussion of marijuana which is intended as comedy. Several characters are seen smoking it or are stoned, with one ironic comment "That's bad for you." There's a champagne toast, beer consumed at a card game, and one villain smokes.

Stewart Barrett needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 164 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
Pivot Digital is a digital strategic marketing agency. We provide services such as strategic online marketing, web design & technical consulting. We service a large range of clients from large corporates to small businesses providing services such as digital strategy, planning, online marketing, design and web development
We are approaching large companies to become their outsourced marketing partner, therefore credibility is a very important trait that will need to be conveyed in our new logo. We also want it to be unique, easily identifiable yet approachable.
The five buzz words that best convey our brand values are: Premium, Credible, Strategic, Innovative, Different. Our logo will need to convey these values.
The notion of the company is that we move (or pivot) businesses away from their failing marketing practices and towards successful outcomes online - therefore it is very important to convey a sense of movement in the design of the logo.
The brand "PIVOT DIGITAL" can be used in many different contexts. For example:
~We will change the way you market your business pivoting you towards marketing success.
~The solutions we provide are pivotal to your business' success.
~Abandon your failed marketing practices and pivot towards a better strategy and medium (online)
Please also look at the word's definition on Dictionary.com to look at its multiple meanings http://dictionary.reference.com/bro…vot?&qsrc=
As mentioned above, we are a new company yet have over 20 years of experience between us. We want to emphasize the fact that we are leaders in the industry, have established networks and a solid track record, thus our need to have an elegant logo. A web 2.0 style logo will not be appropriate for our company.
We would be happy with any submissions that use any of the below:
- Type only
- Type and iconic element
- Iconic only
You have complete freedom when it comes to colour palettes and what elements from the company name you wish to use whether it be the "P" "D" or "p" "d" stacked on top of eachother with the bottom of the "p" blended into the top of the "d" or other. Hand written (type only) logos are also of some interest.
We look forward to seeing your creativity and have fun with this!

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danish shipping and oil group A.P. Moller-Maersk says fourth-quarter profits fell 7.5 percent because of a fall in oil production and lower freight rates.
The Copenhagen-based group said Thursday its fourth-quarter net profit dropped to 5.1 billion kroner ($936 million) from 5.5 billion kroner a year earlier. And revenue for the three-month period fell by nearly 6 percent to 65.7 billion kroner.
Even so, CEO Nils S. Andersen said he was "pleased" with the results and noted that Maersk Line lifted profits "despite challenging shipping markets."
The group expects profits this year to be "significantly above" 2013 as a result of the sale of a majority stake in a Danish retail group.
It also raised its dividend to 1,400 kronor per share from 1,200 kronor last year.

Hot Wheels are always fun. This year the big track of the season is the relaunch of a classic…the Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash Track (Mattel). This closed, clover leaf track is an opportunity to crash your favorite Hot Wheels. Watch our video from Toy Fair. Now if you're really old school, you'll remember that the fun of Hot Wheels was making your track as long as possible…down the staircase was always the best. There were a few loops – but making your own system was the point. Closed tracks are a novelty – since there isn't much to do besides watch the cars go. This track is a little better in this department since you are always feeding the system with new cars. Stay tuned. We'll have a complete review at www.toyportfolio.com once we receive a set

NewsWeek interviewed Bill Gates about Vista, its reception, and Apple, among other things. On the complaint that some of the features in Vista appear to come from the Mac: "You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, "Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along," that's fine. If you're interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it's fascinating, maybe we shouldn't have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done. Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."

The Identity Manager end-user interface (also known as the "Identity Manager User interface") presents a limited view of the Identity Manager system. This view is specifically tailored to users without administrative capabilities.
For instructions on how to log on to the end-user interface, see Logging in to the Identity Manager End-User Interface.
A user can perform various activities from the User interface, such as changing their password, performing self-provisioning tasks, and managing work items and delegations.
Identity Manager can be configured so that users can request an account by clicking a link on the end-user interface login page. For details, see Anonymous Enrollment.
The end-user interface is organized into five sections:
When a user logs in to the Identity Manager User interface, any pending work items and delegations for the user are displayed on the Home tab, as illustrated in the following figure.
The Home tab provides quick access to any pending items. Users can click an item in the list to respond to a work item request or perform other available actions.
The Work Items tab is further divided into separate Approvals, Attestations, Remediations, and Other tabs. In this area of the user interface users can approve or reject any pending work items that the user owns or has the authority to act on.
The Requests tab has two subtabs: Launch Requests and View.
On the Launch Requests tab users have two choices: Update My Roles and Update My Resources.
On the Update My Roles page, users can request from a list of available roles that may be appropriate for the user. When the end-user submits a role request, a work item is generated and an approval notification is sent to the designated approvers for that role. End-users can also request that they be removed or deassigned from one or more roles.
See the Chapter 5, Roles and Resources chapter for information on how to create optional roles that end-users can request access to.
On the Update My Resources page, users can request from a list of individual resources that may be appropriate for the user. As with role-requests, resource-requests generate work items that require an approval before they can be processed.
The View subtab displays status details for requests submitted by the user. From this area users can view the process status and task results for the requests they submit.
From the Delegations tab, users can delegate work items to other Identity Manager users. For example, a user who is the assigned approver for one or more roles can designate that future approval work items be sent to a colleague for a certain amount of time while the user is away on vacation. Using the Delegations page, users can create and manage delegations without requiring the assistance of an administrator.
End-users can manage their Identity Manger password and account attribute settings from the Profile tab. This tab is divided into the following four subtabs:
Change Password. End-users can change their password on a selected resource or on all resources.
Account Attributes. End-users can change certain attributes, such as the account email address that Identity Manager sends account notifications to.
Authentication Questions. Used to manage authentication questions and answers for the user account.
Access Privileges. Lists the user's currently assigned role and resource assignments.

This has been a problem almost since the queue was introduced many many months ago, and I remember it being discussed here before, but I can't find the thread anymore to bump it, and it's still not fixed, so I thought I'd point it out again...
When you watch a "short" episode (series such as "Ai Mai Mi", "Mangirl" or "Boku no Imouto wa Osaka-okan") where the duration of the episode is less than 5 minutes, the show doesn't update to show that it's been watched in your queue the first time you watch it. If I go back and watch it again a second time, it resumes from the 2 minute mark (instead of at the begining) and THAT time it does mark as watched.
The main drawback of this is it makes it hard to tell when the next episode comes out by looking at your queue, because you still have the previous episode sitting there as "partially watch" instead of the "Coming Soon" block you would normally have when the next one isn't there yet.
This occurs when there is not a place holder for the next episode. If there is a placeholder already in place, a short episode updates correctly for me. If there isn't, then it does exactly as you describe.
It does it for me regardless of whether there's a placeholder or not. It correctly updates to show the placeholder after watching it from the 2 minute mark the second time.
I'll pass this info along to the engineers.
Ai Mai Mi just came out, so I got screenshots to demonstrate as I reproduced it, just in case they're useful (thanks for passing it along!)
Before watching:
After watching the first time (yes, I did watch it right to the end)
Clicking on it in the queue at this point takes me to the 2:00 mark, watching it again to the end from there produces this:
Otter Modder
This really comes down to a matter of timing. For this particular series each episode is 3 minutes long which can lead to more problems than others. The site is not told what second you are at every second because that would be ridiculous, but it doesn't just say beginning and end either because then it couldn't let you continue where you left off. Instead it reports it every ~30 seconds (actual time varies) and then it changes to ~60 seconds. Using Ai Mai Mi as an example, it reports your time at 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, and finally at 180 s. That last one just happens to coincide with the end of the show. If the episode ends and it does not tell the website the time at 180 s then it still thinks the farthest you have watched is 120 s or the 2 minute mark, not far enough to count as having finished the episode.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I watched all of the episodes in order to see if I could reproduce the problem myself. Only once did it happen, but I think that was more a problem with my slow internet. If I had to suggest an easy fix, I would say add one second to the end of each episode. That way they don't have to change any of the video player's code that might affect other series. Regardless, it might take some time to fix.
Does it happen consistently with you or only sometimes? Are you running any other programs at the same time that are using any network resources?
I made a new HTML5 Player for CR, see profile or go to hls.beardfist.net
happens pretty consistently with me, and I was guessing exactly what you said for how it's probably reporting it. The easy fix of course is to make it so it specifically reports in when it hits the end of the episode, instead of waiting for the next 60 second mark or whatever.
It strikes me that a simple work-around would be to add a user-selectable "mark as watched" checkbox.
Be well.

Our Story
Our Mission
Bear Hill Brewing Co's mission is to enrich the lives of our guests, our employees and our communities through superior quality hand crafted beer, food with attitude, unique beverages, fun customer service, and by treating our employees like family.
Our Philosophy
Our founding principle at the Bear Hill Brewing Company is to create the absolute highest quality beer experience possible. This guiding philosophy encompasses everything that we do.
We believe in providing a mix of essential food classics and contemporary staples to create the perfect Canadian menu to be enjoyed alongside our beer. We have taken on the responsibility of localizing the beer experience by making authentic, fresh craft products that establish a new, truly Canadian beer culture.
We use only the best ingredients: premium hops and malts combined with our own cultured yeast strains. Our fourth and final ingredient is the pure, natural mountain water sourced from the great Canadian Rockies. Unlike most commercial breweries, we do nothing to our water but remove the chlorine added to it. Our fresh beer is made with real glacial water and all the minerals that come with it!
The premium beers that we brew have grown from roots grounded deeply in tradition. Our dedicated Brewmasters use time-tested recipes and brewing methods in our in-house brewery. Our hops and malts are sourced from around the world as to provide true styles with the unique twist of glacial water. This combination yields beers that are absolutely the best that they can be.
Our beers are for everyone. They are fresh, modern, and innovatively looking to the future. They are true and honest, drawing on experience from history. We truly believe there is an occasion for every beer and a beer for every occasion.
"...it's all about the beer"
-Don Moore
Our History
Jasper Brewing Co
was opened in the spring of 2005 and was Canada's first National Park Brewery. Three of the founders were born and raised in Jasper, and from the early years of their experiences in the food and beverage industry they felt there was a large demand for a "local" brew. Combine that with a love for beer – and they decided to open a brewpub.
The Banff Ave Brewing Co was founded in 2010 by Pete Korogonas, Socrates Korogonas, Alex Derksen, Brett Ireland and Daniel Rodrigues. With their success at the Jasper Brewing Company they decided to expand their horizons and look for other markets where great handcrafted beer would be appreciated and admired.
Wood Buffalo Brewing Co
(located in Fort McMurray) opened in January 2013 and is one of the largest brewpub and eateries in Canada. The immense popularity among locals and tourists alike in Jasper and Banff combined with the growing interest and demand for quality, local beer across Alberta inspired us to expand into Fort McMurray.

EFF Blasts Apple For Fraudulent DMCA Takedown Of Wiki Page
from the let's-look-at-the-law dept
The EFF has stepped up to walk through the many, many reasons why there's no DMCA violation on the site, and Apple's takedown notice appears to be fraudulent. Yes, the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA do say it's illegal to offer a technology, product, service, device or device to get around DRM, but an open discussion on a wiki is not any of those things. Perhaps more importantly, Apple doesn't own the copyright on iTunesDB. Each iPod makes its own iTunesDB file based on what files they put on their device. The copyright is unlikely to belong to Apple. Next up, reverse engineering is perfectly legal, and the DMCA has a specific exception for reverse engineering. And, finally, the anti-circumvention clause is designed to protect copyright infringement -- but the folks building alternative software programs aren't doing anything for copyright infringement -- they're just trying to make iPods work with their software.

Just out of curiosity I checked with the Coast Guard to see if they had any reports of this incident.....apparently not. I think the surfboat was responding to the guys that got washed up on Seal Rock.
I was feeling like sort of a wuss for not going out either day......I didn't have my gun so I didn't want to go out with the wrong equipment in triple overhead conditions......but if somebody like Mike Parsons can get taken down (temporary paralysis/near drowning due to spinal compression) I'm feeling sort of vindicated. Glad he's going to be ok.
These guys in the boat are lucky they were able to get under way after that, but I'd love to know how badly their asses were kicked by that wave....anybody have any info?
