Common Terms Associated with Animal Shelters

If you are looking for a pet, skip the pet store and head over to an animal shelter. If you need more information about animal adoption you can log onto the Humane Society website or head down to a local animal rescue in your city or county and speak to a volunteer. Before looking for your new dog or cat there are some animal shelter terms that you should become familiar with.

  • Animal Rescue or Shelter - An animal protection foundation that fights against pet cruelty. There are no-kill animal shelters which find homes for animals and do not put unwanted ones to sleep.
  • Adopt - To take care of an animal as one's own. Animal shelters allow people to adopt puppies and kittens for little to no cost.
  • Stray - A pet that roams or wanders without a definite home. Dogs and cats become strays after being abandoned by their original owners.
  • Pound - A facility where stray animals can wind up after being found on the street, rescued or given up by their owners. Foster homes are needed for these animals so that they do not have to be put to sleep.
  • Breeding - Reproducing offspring. People should have their pets fixed to avoid accidental breeding and unwanted offspring.
  • Abuse - Pet rescuers save dogs and cats from abusive situations and owners. They will often rescue them when an owner has been abusive, hurtful and neglectful to an animal. Animal abuse is prevalent at puppy mills and it is imperative that these puppies and kittens be rescued and sent to a loving home.

    Animal shelters deal with the problem of unwanted pets and sometimes large animals and livestock. They may take in anything or specialize in a specific species such as dogs or horses. Many counties in the United States have a humane society. Animal control may also operate a 'pound' where homeless animals are held until they can be adopted. Unfortunately, many shelters eventually run out of space and may euthanize animals to make room. Adult animals are generally harder to place than puppies and kittens. An animal control facility also holds lost and stray animals until their owners can be found. Rescues may operate in the same way as shelters, or as networks that employ foster homes to take care of the animals. Most rescues are species specific and many focus on a specific breed, especially cat and dog rescues. Rescues are generally set up as charitable foundations and may have a board of directors. A county or city facility, on the other hand, may be arranged as part of the local government or through the local humane society. Rescues and shelters may also deal with cases of cruelty and abuse. Abusers are often expected to surrender their animals to a shelter or animal control center. Many animals that end up in shelters are abandoned, others are given up by their owners for financial or personal reasons. Some rescues may also help owners place animals without actually taking physical custody. Animal shelters are something of a sad necessity. In cases of deliberate neglect or abuse, animals may have to be held as evidence and their recovery photographically documented.

Saginaw, Michigan - Taxicabs search results Premier Listings

Transportation should not be a hassle, especially when trying to get to an airport or city destination. Taxi cabs and shuttles can help a passenger travel so they don’t have to try and figure out what to do with their own vehicle when flying or going out for the night. Local transportation should be safe and in a clean vehicle, and some may even be luxury rides, depending on the fare you are looking to pay. Most taxi cabs charge by the mile that shows up on a meter inside the car. There are number of terms that everyone should be familiar with so that when they need to do errands or get to the airport, they can be informed about their means of travel.

  • Fare - This is the cost of the transportation. Often, a tip is given with the fare, but this can depend on the speed they went or whether the cab was clean. Use your discretion.
  • Chauffer - Often more the role of a luxury car driver, the chauffer happens to be a licensed driver that brings you to your destination.
  • Shuttle - Though a common misconception, the shuttle is not in fact a taxi cab. Shuttles are forms of public transportation where you share a ride with other passengers until you reach your destinations.
  • Hail A Cab - Many times, taxis will not be waiting outside where you’re at so you have to hail a cab so they will pull over to get you where you need.
  • Meter - This is the mean by which the fare and distance traveled are regulated.

Technology Showcase

New Diesel Engine Oil Specification Coming In 2016

by Dan Arcy
OEM Technical Manager, Shell Lubricants

Manufacturing products also means transporting them, typically via truck. With new fuel economy standards coming and changes to diesel engine technology, a new engine oil specification is needed. In 2011, work began on a new diesel engine oil category for on-highway diesel engines called PC-11.

The new category is driven by changes in engine technology to meet emissions, renewable fuel and fuel economy standards for CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In addition, there have been changes in engine hardware that better represent new technology entering the marketplace since the last category was approved in 2006, and older hardware used in current engine testing is expected to become unavailable.

The new lubricant specification will have to meet the need of lower CO2 engines, while providing fuel economy benefits and no compromise in engine life or durability. PC-11 should provide improvements in oxidation stability, aeration benefits, shear stability, compatibility with biodiesel blends and protection from scuffing/adhesive wear.

The Engine Manufacturers Association recommends that the PC-11 category be split into two separate and distinct subcategories associated with fuel efficiency with corresponding performance levels:

  • One that preserves historical heavy-duty oil criteria. This oil will be backward compatible with previous categories for on- and off-highway use.
  • One that provides fuel-efficiency benefits while maintaining durability. The oil will have limited backward compatibility (OEM, engine, application dependent) and will have better fuel economy compared to current 15W-40 oils.

Stay tuned: Communication on the new category and proper application of the different products will be forthcoming. Shell is working with others in the industry to help define and develop the new engine oil category. MT

0113showcasesprayingLubricate Chains With Less Oil And Downtime

According to Spraying Systems, its single-point AccuJet® Electrostatic Lube System can improve chain lubrication while reducing oil consumption and conveyor downtime. Capable of accommodating up to four electrostatic nozzles with an injector pump for each, it provides uniform lubrication of critical areas and eliminates oil mist, thus creating a safer work environment and minimizing cleanup and contamination potential. A dedicated control panel requires no programming, allowing easy installation via user I/O integrated with a PLC-controlled system.

Lube System Overcomes A Variety Of Challenges

Techno-Sommer’s Sharpshooter system addresses a number of lube challenges, including hard-to-reach lubrication points, expensive products that need to be precisely dispensed and the unacceptability of mist lubrication in a plant environment. Working off standard shop air at up to 90 psi, it can place a drop of lubricant at up to 1m away with pinpoint accuracy. A pressurized tank generates internal pressures up to 750 psi. When a pulse is generated, a fixed drop size is dispensed. Up to eight dispensing nozzles ranging in size from 5mm3 to 100mm3 can be attached to one tank. An extension hose of up to 2m in length allows for the dispensing nozzle to be placed around corners and in hard-to-reach spots.

November 2016 Beauty Favourites

First of all, how is it December already? I mean how is it the last month of 2016?! Are you excited for 2017? I know I am!

When I have gathered the beauty favourites to take a photo, I have realised that most of them are the same products I’ve featured in October so here are only the ones which I haven’t.

Before we start, I would like to mention some other things  I really loved in November which are beauty related, too.

november-2016-beauty-favourites-beauty-marked-mr-selfridge-sparkles-makeup4allPhotos from my Insta

Book – Branded Beauty by Mark Tungate (from Amazon and Amazon UK). I think everyone who is interested in beauty and brands should read it, the book is packed with interesting facts and quotes.  I personally really enjoyed the history of so many companies and the explanation about the marketing tips and tricks.

Mr. Selfridge TV Series.  (Amazon and Amazon UK). I’ve had this on my to-watch list for a long time already but gave it a go only last weekend, and it is great. I love how it shows the pre -WWI history of the legendary Selfridges.  Imagine that it was unthinkable to sell beauty products over the counter back in the days for obvious reasons, it is very well shown in Season 1 Episode 3.

Sparkles. I have to admit, I just have to have anything sparkling these days to brighten up the grey and dark November days, which feel like forever nights actually.

I also simply  have to include

Best Sparkling Nail Polishes for Christmas 2016

I don’t know what is going on with me but I am very into glitter and sequins lately. You may have seem my jumper if you follow me on Instagram.  And trust me, it is a big deal that I am wearing something like this, pretty much all my friends had to make jokes about it, even my parents were surprised when I saw them the other day.

“I have never seen you in sequins, like ever,” Mum was shocked.

“She is just old now,”  Dad replied. My Father just likes to tease me whenever he can.

But why all those talks? I just want to share the sparkling nail polishes which are new for this season which caught my eye. And these are not all the options, just the ones I like.

JINsoon Tout Ensemble Collection$56 from Barney’s and Saks

That kit looks pretty cool with a neutral, black and two glittery shades, you can create as many designs as you can think of.

YSL Sparkle Clash La Laque, $28 from Neman Marcus

What beauty related poduct can you get for a girl who already has it all? That is easy actually.  Get her a luxury lipstick. And we are talking not only luxury but also niche. We all know it is not only about the product itself, it is also about the sensations and the emotions.

Tom Ford lipstick is always a good idea. But most likely your beauty addict already has one or ten of those already. So surprise her with Rodin or Oribe. Yes, that is right. Those two brands now only do lipsticks, and not only.

So far the lines are really well edited with only five options from Rodin and three from Oribe.

Oribe Lip Lust Crème Lipstick, $42/€37 from Net a Porter

“Delivers luminous colour in a satin finish. Ultra-comfortable formula glides onto lips for a silky, indulgent feel while an infusion of White Lily and Myrrh moisturizes, protects and visibly plumps lips. Full-impact colour. Rich yet lightweight crème formula. Melts on with an indulgent, sensual feel. Silky, smooth finish .Provides antioxidant protection.”

The shades are: The Nude, The Red and

Holiday Gift Guide: Eye Shadow Palettes. My Picks

Last Monday I’ve posted about the luxury eye shadow palettes, so today I want to continue sharing about the brand new releases. And this time it is the three palettes that I personally like the best.

World’s 10 most dangerous volcanoes identified

  • Iwo Jima named as most dangerous volcano on earth
  • Whole island could explode

Volcano enthusiasts have enlisted the help of a University of Manchester academic to come up with a list of the top ten most dangerous volcanoes in the world.

And the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, which was invaded by the US army during the Second World War, has been identified in the number one spot.

Published as a series of blogs on the Volcano café website, the list includes volcanoes which have a realistic chance of erupting in the next 100 years and which risk causing the deaths of 1,000,000 people or more. It includes volcanoes from all over the world, including South and Central America, Africa, Asia and Europe.

The point of the list is to try to highlight those volcanoes that are not studied very well, but which could pose a big threat to regional and world stability, should they erupt. Professor Albert Zijlstra, of The University of Manchester explains the motivation behind the list. He said: “There are parts of the world where monitoring of volcanoes is very poor, and many of these poorly watched volcanoes are close to populated areas.

“The last time such a list was made was 25 years ago and that list mainly included volcanoes that are accessible to study in developed countries. Our new list looks all over the world, including in less developed countries. We have created this list to try to highlight the need for better monitoring and preparedness in many areas of the world.

There hasn't been a major eruption for 200 years, since Tambora in 1815 (“the year without summer”), and there has never been a large eruption in a modern, developed country. There is a chance of perhaps 1 in 3 that there will such an eruption this century. ”

There are parts of the world where monitoring of volcanoes is very poor, and many of these poorly watched volcanoes are close to populated areas
Professor Albert Zijlstra

The island of Iwo Jima is about twenty metres higher than it was in 1945 due to a growing magma chamber underneath. The beach where the American forces landed in 1945 is now 17 meters above the ocean surface. The island has been pushed up by 1 meter every 4 years since several hundred years. It is only a matter of time before the whole island explodes. Although few people live on Iwo Jima itself, a large eruption would cause a tsunami that could devastate southern Japan and coastal China including Shanghai and Hong Kong. The team estimates that in Japan the tsunami could be 25 meters high. The eruption of the similar sized Kuwae volcano in Vanatua in 1458 caused a tsunami 30 meters high in northern New Zealand, and lead to the cultural collapse of Polynesia.

After Iwo Jima the second most dangerous volcano has been named as Apoyeque in Nicaragua, which is next to its capital Managua, with a population of more than 2m. Apoyeque has the threat of an underwater eruption, which could cause a large lake tsunami, as well as the danger posed by the eruption itself. It has had major eruptions every 2000 years. The last one was 2000 years ago.

In third place is Campei Flegrei near Naples in Italy, which poses even more of a threat to the city than Vesuvius. It erupts less frequently than Vesuvius, but is much closer to the city and has the potential for much larger eruptions. The western suburbs of Naples, a city of 4.4 million, are build inside its caldera. .

Other volcanoes in the list are in Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico, and Cameroon.

Henrik Lovën, previously a major in the Swedish army and keen amateur volcanologist, helps to run the Volcano Café site and contributed to the top ten list.

He said: “We want to raise awareness that there are many volcanoes that could erupt and that are not being monitored properly. Hopefully the people who live near the volcanoes in this list will get more help to help them prepare for an eruption.”

The full top ten list is;

1 Iwo Jima, Japan. Candidate for a very large eruption. Affected: Japan, Philippines, coastal China

2 Chiltepe/Apoyeque, Nicaragua. At risk: Managua

3 Campei Flegrei, Italy. At risk: Naples

4 Mount Aso, Japan. At risk: Kumamoto, Nagasaki

5 Trans Mexico Volcanic Belt, Mexico. At risk: Mexico City, Pueblo, Toluca

6 Gunung Agung, Indonesia. At risk: Bali

7 Mount Cameroon (or Mongo ma Ndemi), Cameroon. At risk: Buea, Douala

8 Taal, Philippines. At risk: Manilla

9 Mayon, Philippines. At risk: Legazpi

10 Gunung Kelud, Indonesia. At risk: Malang

A FILM-MAKER is turning his memories of one of Middleton's most iconic nightspots into a documentary.

Former raver Carl Barlow, who now runs independent film company Paragon Productions, was once a regular at the Hippodrome, on Corporation Street, and is on the hunt for memories and memorabilia of Middleton's former super-club for a film he is putting together about the venue.

Last month the bulldozers finally moved in to knock down the club, which was affectionately known as Hippo's, and Carl spent a week on site capturing the demolition on camera.

He said: "The first time I set foot in Hippo's was probably early 1991, and from the word go it just felt totally different, the music had a real edge to it, the atmosphere was completely amazing, there was no other place quite like it or anywhere near. Under the surface though, there could sometimes be an underlying tension in there, a bit dark and gritty, almost sinister, but that was the whole attraction. There was too many clubs doing the same 'nicey' rave thing, Hippo's was definitely different. Having said that, I can honestly say I never saw one fight or any hint of trouble whatsoever in Hippo's."

In the early 1990s the Corporation Street venue put Middleton on the map for clubbers and the club hosted live sets by famous names such as 'The Prodigy' and even helped launch the careers of big name DJs such as Carl Cox.

Built in the 1930s and formerly the Empire Cinema, the club opened in May 1988 eventually closing in November 1992 after months of speculation. It will now make way for Middleton's massive redevelopment.

Carl, now 34, and from Swinton said: "It is a shame that a building with such a magnificent and colourful past in its own right can be flattened in the name of progress. The demolition guy actually told me that the main structure of the building was completely solid, even though it had been empty and neglected for 15 years and home to only the pigeons. I spent the week on site capturing the demolition and it was truly sad to watch. But they can take away the bricks and mortar but the memories will always be there."

Paragon Productions is planning a documentary film about The Hippodrome to be released on DVD, filming of which is due to start later on this year. Anyone wishing to contribute any images or give interviews can contact Carl at info@paragonproductions.co.uk

Dorr Oil sold to New Hampshire company

Andrew McKeever

MANCHESTER >> The Dorr Oil Company, a well-known local business in Manchester, has been sold to a New Hampshire-based energy firm.

A prepared statement from the financial company Rush Street Capital, which is based in Chicago, Ill. according to its website, released on June 20 stated it had obtained the financing for the acquisition of Dorr Oil, its storage tanks and equipment for Stone Road Energy, an oil services company based in Littleton, N.H. On its website, Stone Road Energy, a heating oil and propane distributor focused on the northeastern U.S., describes itself as involved in the oil and propane heating business and seeks to "acquire companies from owners that have run a good business over the years and have decided that now is the time to leave the business."

Stone Road does not change the names of the businesses it acquires and lists five other oil and energy companies it has acquired, it states on their website.

"We do not remove the name or change the strong bonds these companies have with their local communities," their website states. "We pride ourselves in honoring the names on our trucks and offices. We continue the traditions of exceptional customer support and add value where we can."

In the press statement, Rush Street Capital announced that it has procured financing for Stone Road Energy, a Stone Road Capital Partners portfolio company. Proceeds from the financing were used for the acquisition of Manchester, Vt. -based Dorr Oil Company, Inc. and purchase of storage tanks and equipment. The financing closed on June 17.

Rush Street Capital has sourced $6.5 million in financing to support Stone Road Energy's acquisition of Dorr Oil, and advised Stone road Energy RSC on the financing. The acquisition financing was provided by Farragut Capital Partners, a Chevy Chase, MD., financial company. The final total sale price Stone Road Energy paid to acquire Dorr Oil was not stated.

In the press release, Rick Lopez, Partner at Rush Street Capital, said, "The Dorr Oil acquisition is an excellent opportunity for Stone Road Energy to continue its expansion strategy and create operational synergies. The addition of Dorr Oil will give SRE a strong presence in the Manchester, VT market and will give the Company additional scale in both heating oil and propane distribution. The financing secured from our debt raise provides SRE with an optimal and flexible capital structure to complete this acquisition and position the Company for future growth."

Attempts to contact a representative of Stone Road Energy, or Donald Dorr, the owner of Dorr Oil, for comment on the transaction were not immediately successful on Thursday.

A listing for Dorr Oil, which has an office and service area along with a small gas station on Bonnet Street across from the town's Rec Park on the website, states it was founded in 1971. In addition to selling home heating oil, diesel fuel and kerosene, it also has a service business for oil furnances and offers 24 hour a day, seven days a week emergency services. It serves commercial, industrial and residential customers in Bennington, Windham and Rutland counties.

Where are your shoujo senses? Of course, there is romance. Its subtle at first, but definitely present even in the first volume. Later on, you'll see development with one of her "brothers" and several other viable options.

Thanks to the scanlator for bringing out this wonderful shoujo series. I can't wait for the licensed version.

you know the only reason i gave it seven is because there seems to be no romance at all and that would make it really boring, but who knows?! that might change in the next chapters and when it changes so would my rate because i find nothing wrong with a author taking his/her time building characters, as long as it doesn't drag too long

Edit: yup it's gettin good. i wonder whats coming next, the art is nice i like how the main characters are drawn especialy Sakura, the story is slow but never the less has high potential points.

This is one of the best shoujo mangas I've read in awhile. The story stays interesting and simplistic with all characters each having distinguished roles.

Can't wait for the next chapter to come out^-^ and see if there are any changes in Sakura's relationship with her "brothers."

It may pay to keep on eye on overseas residential markets

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Some investment analysts such as Bill Gross of Pimco say we're in a recession here in the United States. But overseas it looks like times are booming. And that means foreigners are looking at opportunities here, which in turn poses opportunity for U.S. investors.

Two large foreign investors are bailing out financial institutions here from their exposure to losses in the domestic subprime mortgage market. Asia and Middle Eastern companies and countries seem to be putting capital to work in every corner of the world. And the global superrich are redefining what it means to be super rich. (In London it means a million-dollar salary just to lead an average affluent lifestyle, a recent survey shows.)

Sort of all makes us look poor in the grand scheme of things.

But where we are "poor" also means we have opportunity, particularly in the real estate sector. Here's why: trepidation.

Sales and values of real estate on the whole in the U.S. may have sunk. But it's largely not because of lack of demand; it's largely because of hesitation of demand. There's a big difference between the two. It means there is a lingering lag in the market, not an outright stall. At the first blush of renewed energy, the real estate market will bounce back.

Wealthy investors are still putting their dollars to work in the market, which means allocations to real estate as an investment class haven't gone away altogether. Instead, sales of high-end homes have soared. Like with any investment class, it's best to take a look at global supply and demand not just domestic variance.

If equities were on the outs with investors, that would spill around the world and the asset class itself would be out of favor, meaning fewer people would be buying and selling stocks. Same thing with bonds, or commodities ...or real estate.

But that isn't happening. Prices of homes in certain high-end sections of London, for example, have risen between 25% and 35% this year, according to the Financial Times. There is an Indian, Asian, and Middle Eastern boom of development too.

Strong price increases in London are "giving the elite the confidence to invest heavily in the properties," the FT says.

Confidence-building is what any market is about. There is enough capital to push about and increase prices in virtually every capital market. What makes some markets soar and others dribble is confidence.

To be sure, confidence in U.S. properties has waned. But for how long? When wealthy investors from abroad look to invest in the agents of markets -- the Merrills, UBSs and the like -- how long before they then take it to the next level of the game and invest directly?

With the value of the U.S. dollar low and real estate prices dropping, it isn't hard to imagine foreigners taking bigger positions in properties here as part of their overall portfolios. Meanwhile, they wait...wait...wait...Then they'll buy large when prices get low enough.

Prices are quickly getting low enough

I'm betting that Miami and southern Florida will kick-start the trend. There, prices and sales volumes are down 25% or more in hot areas. What happens when values fall 50%? That should catch some foreign investors' attention.

With the largest segment of the population retiring and likely headed South, too, there is long-term viability to the bet.

It's worth following the buying patterns of wealthy individuals and foreign institutions when it comes to their investments in real estate. Confidence will build again. This time maybe just more slowly, but it will come back.

Investment resolutions for 2008 should be to spot bottoms -- and then buy. Those with capital have already begun.

Moody's lowers Chrysler, financing arm ratings

Published: Oct 27, 2008 5:50 p.m. ET

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Moody's Investors Service said late Monday it lowered the corporate family rating and probability of default ratings of Chrysler LLC to Caa2 from Caa1. The ratings agency said the ratings are also on review for a further possible downgrade. Moody's also cut the rating of DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC to B3 from B2, and is reviewing the rating for a possible downgrade. About $9 billion of debt is affected. "The downgrade of the Chrysler rating reflects the increased pressure on the company's liquidity position due to the precipitous decline in US automotive demand and the likelihood that shipment levels will remain depressed through 2009," Moody's said in a statement.

Stocks mixed in rout; Google rises

Published: June 6, 2006 5:02 p.m. ET

Takes swipe at Microsoft with Web-based application

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Internet stocks traded mixed Tuesday, with Google Inc. shares bucking the bearish trend with a 4.2% rise after introducing a Web-based spreadsheet application.

Following the sector's sell-off on Monday, the Dow Jones Internet Index DJI_DJINET closed down 0.4% to 88.13, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ fell 6.84 points 2,162.78 at the bell.

Google's GOOG, +0.68% shares closed up at $389.99. In the Internet giant's latest move to solidify its competitive position against Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.59% Google is taking sign-ups for the Google Spreadsheet application through the Labs section of its Web site. The application, which allows users to create and upload spreadsheets, remains in a test phase and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Goldman Sachs analyst Rick Sherlund wrote that Google's product is not directed at office users as much as on consumer users seeking to "share information and collaborate with others with shared documents."

Sherlund, who rates Microsoft a buy, wrote that the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant is expected to offer similar products on its Office Live site, although no dates have been announced.

For Google, a Thomas Weisel analyst writes that the company views its software offerings as a chance to improve its consumer ratings, which should ultimately put it in a better position to extract more advertising from marketers. At the same time, Microsoft has been increasing its capital expenditures and research and development efforts to improve its presence in online advertising.

Molly Wood, executive editor at, says that Google Spreadsheets could "take a big chunk out of Microsoft's coin bag." Listen to interview.

Bellwether eBay Inc. EBAY, +1.76% saw its shares slip 2.8% to $31.59, while online retailer Inc. AMZN, -0.40% ticked down fractionally to $33.41. Yahoo Inc. YHOO, +2.20% shares were off less than 0.5% at $30.70.

On the downside, Digital River Inc. DRIV shares continued their slide with a 3.8% decline, and CNet Networks Inc. CNET, +4.80% shares lost 3.5% to $8.75. CNet's stock hit a 52-week low of $8.58 last Wednesday.

Napster Inc. NAPS, +0.00% shares were down 4.5% to $3.15, and ValueClick Inc. VCLK lost 3%.

In acquisition news, the Knot Inc. KNOT announced late Tuesday that it agreed to acquire for a total of $78 million in cash and stock. Richard Fetyko, analyst with Merriman Curhan Ford, wrote that the acquisition would have to add about $1.8 million in net income to make it add to earnings in fiscal 2007. Shares of the Knot added 7% to $19 on the day.

Norwegian Air net falls as currency, delays weigh

Published: Oct 23, 2014 3:29 a.m. ET

STOCKHOLM--Airline Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (NAS.OS) Thursday reported a declining net profit for the third quarter as a weak Norwegian krone, a delayed U.S. permit and costs associated with flight delays, weighed on earnings.

Scandinavia's second biggest carrier said net profit for the July to September period was 373.8 million Norwegian Kroner ($57.5 million), down 14% from NOK435.9 million a year earlier.

Revenue in the third quarter was NOK6.34 billion, up 30% from NOK4.88 billion a year earlier as strong competition and capacity growth in the leisure market put pressure on ticket prices. Norwegian said ticket revenue per unit produced decreased by 7% and unit cost decreased by 1%.

Operating profit was NOK532.2 million, down 17% from NOK637.7 million last year.

Some had hoped for more; stock suffers

Los Angeles bureau chief

SEATTLE (CBS.MW) -- RealNetworks Inc. met the consensus estimate of 4 cents a share in third-quarter earnings Tuesday. Some Wall Street analysts hoped for more, but investors were bracing for the worst.

RealNetworks' RNWK, +3.38% per-share earnings marked a 25 percent gain from the third quarter of 1999. The company also posted revenue of $67.1 million, an increase of 92 percent from $34.9 million in 1999's third quarter.

Rob Glaser, RealNetworks' chairman and chief executive, boasted in a statement of "our 13th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, our fifth consecutive quarter of pro forma profitability and our 10th consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations."

After a healthy climb on Monday, RealNetworks shares had dropped 3 1/8 to close at 21 11/16 Tuesday, giving up virtually all the previous day's gain. In after-hours trading Tuesday, shares had dropped 3 11/16 to 18 roughly two hours after the close.

Analysts did a bit of head scratching over the company's stock performance, although some said they half-expected a drop in shares on Tuesday.

"I've become accustomed to pre-announcement jitters with this stock," said Bill Lennan, analyst with W.R. Hambrecht & Co. "I'm a little surprised by the extent of the sell-off this time."

Lennan, who expected 4 cents a share, said the jitters came even though no red flags signaled trouble for the maker of streaming audio and video software. Recent softness in Internet advertising already was well-documented. There also was no sign from chief rival Microsoft Corp. that would shake RealNetworks out of its 85 percent market share in its market.

Some on Wall Street expected more from RealNetworks for just that reason. Nitsan Hargil, an analyst for Kaufman Bros., said 4 cents is a disappointment, and he said he thought the company had a realistic chance at 6 cents. Anything less than 5 cents would lead to further selling, Hargil said. He added that it's astounding that the company's market share remains as high as it is.

"A year ago, no one would have believed they'd be at 85 percent," Hargil said.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Securities and Exchange Commission can find no evidence that a so called "fat finger" error by one trader was a major contributor to the major stock market plunge on Thursday, according to a key regulator on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average's dropped nearly 1,000 points on Thursday before swiftly rising to a 348-point loss. Some observers have argued that a "fat finger' error may have taken place, which is when a trader enters an order for billions of shares rather than an intended order for millions. "Neither our review nor reviews by the relevant exchanges and market participants have uncovered such an error," said SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro in prepared testimony for a hearing on the stock plunge.

Published: June 27, 2013 4:01 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks surged on Thursday, extending the Dow Jones Industrial Average's longest winning streak since April, on upbeat economic data and reiterations from Federal Reserve officials that monetary policy depends on the economic outlook.

June off to a rocky start after more gloomy economic reports

Corrects volume of NYSE exchange and composite volume.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks dropped on Wednesday, with bank issues taking the brunt of the pressure, as Wall Street scaled back its economic growth outlook following another round of dour data.

“What is most concerning here is the pace of the economic fall-off, and the risk is growing that the downside isn’t over,” said John Brady, MF Global’s senior vice president of global interest rate products. Read about economists slashing expectations for May’s nonfarm-payrolls growth.

Tallying its worst single-day point drop since June 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.33%  fell 279.65 points, or 2.2%, to 12,290.14. Financial powerhouses Bank of America Corp. BAC, +1.68% down 4.3%, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +1.25% off 3.4%, were among the blue-chip names getting slammed.

Private sector adds few jobs in May

Private businesses barely added jobs in May as large companies cut workers, according to a report released Wednesday.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index SPX, +0.22%   declined 30.65 points, or 2.3%, to 1,314.55 — its sharpest decline since Aug. 11, 2010.

The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.44%   shed 66.11 points, or 2.3%, to 2,769.19.

For every stock rising, nearly four fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume neared 1.2 billion and composite volume topped 4.5 billion.

Treasury prices rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, +1.10%   below 3% for the first time since early December, while the dollar softened and oil prices fell. Read more about bonds.

“This lower yield environment is going to hurt the banks, which in order to heal balance sheets have been rolling loans off their books, and making new loans at lower yields. The net interest margin for financials is really going to start feeling under pressure,” said Brady.

Data pitfall

Stocks fell after the day’s U.S. economic reports added to fears the economic recovery was stalling.

American companies added 38,000 employees to their payrolls in the past month, according to data from ADP Employer Services. Economists had been expecting an increase of 175,000. Read more about ADP payrolls report.

The Institute for Supply Management reported that growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector slowed, with its closely watched gauge dropping to 53.5% in May from 60.4% in April. See details of largest one-month drop since 1984.

Stocks reached their lows of the day after Moody’s Investors Service cut Greece’s credit rating, citing the increased risk “Greece will fail to stabilize its debt position” without restructuring its debt. Read more on Greece.

On Tuesday, the Dow industrials finished May with a loss of 1.9%, their first monthly drop in six months.

White House spells out plan for board-pay panels

Published: July 16, 2009 2:01 p.m. ET

Senior economics reporter

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The White House sent Congress on Thursday its draft legislation designed to ensure that compensation committees of the board of directors of public companies are independent. The legislation requires that compensation committee members meet exacting new standards for independence, just as Sarbanes-Oxley did for members of audit committees. The bill requires that any compensation consultants and legal counsel the committees hire be independent from management. The committees will also be given the power to hire outside counsel and advisers to pull apart complex pay packages.

Jazzed about the possibilities: Remembering Michael Williams

Posted Saturday, February 16, 2008, at 11:46 PM

Memorial services were held Feb. 2 for Michael Williams, who died suddenly Dec. 17 as a result of natural causes. I found out about his death at the Malta Bend school board meeting that night. He been teaching music there again after retiring from the Slater school district.

"He was the most enthusiastic person I've ever known," said Superintendent Melissa Vesser.

I didn't know Michael well, but from the few times I'd talked to him I'd have to agree with Melissa's comment. I remember when he appeared before the board in September to offer his services. He said, "I really am jazzed about the possibilities."

Jazzed. Good word for the guy.

I was also impressed at the time with the testimonials by school board members, several of whom commented on the impact Williams had on their children.

He seemed to me like the kind of teacher whose love of music was rivaled only by his love of the people he taught and performed with.

It occurred to me that it might be nice to invite members of the community who were influenced by Michael to share stories about how he affected their lives. I know he was integral to the music scene in Saline County for years, not only as a teacher but as a performer with the philharmonic, the municipal band, the community chorus, various church choirs and gospel groups.

I imagine quite a lot of people around here have stories to tell ...

Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]

Michael was my high school band teacher when he was at Malta Bend the first time.

What I remember most was how he made sure to point out how each individual instrument was important to the overall sound of the band. We were a small band when I was there, however not the smallest Malta Bend has seen. Michael would briefly stop class to go over the notes that someone had trouble with, or meet after school, before school, or whenever just so that student could play their part confidently. He would always make a point to tell that student when they had improved, and would help more if they had not.

He had a major influence with the elementary children also. When they were loud in class, he would just stop and raise his hand. Soon all the children were sitting quietly raising their hands also, waiting for him to go on.

I think he was a tremendous asset to the music department, but moreover, to the school as a whole. He had said that his time at Malta Bend was his favorite, and that is why he wanted to come back, it was fitting that this was the finale to his teaching career, in a place that he loved as much as it loved him. He will be greatly missed.

-- Posted by btb005 on Mon, Feb 18, 2008, at 6:18 AM

Michael was gentle, caring, kind, talented, humorous and witty. When he and I first became colleagues, Michael immediately asked, "What can I do for you to make you more comfortable?"

He truly expected me to answer because his caring for others, whether they be colleagues, students or strangers, was real. He continued to extend his help almost daily; when asked how he became so thoughtful, Michael responded, "My mother...it's all her influence" and went on to celebrate his mother's virtues often.

Michael impressed me and others with his vast knowledge of and appreciation for the cultural world including his enthusiasm and love for the Alvin Ailey dancers whose artistic contributions Michael loved to tout and whom Michael loved to see perform.

Michael is missed; his life counted for much and influenced many. I can see that shiny, bald head and those twinkling eyes as he grins upon hearing all this and says, "Come on, now. I was just having fun!"

Having fun he is in that celestial choir, proud of the opportunity to continue performing music, his great love. Shalom, Michael, Shalom...

Test Your Gratitude Level

Body+Soul, September 2008

What's your GQ (Gratitude Quotient)? Take the following quiz and find out. Just write down the number that corresponds with how much you agree with each statement. Then add them up and see what gratitude category you fall under.

1 = Strongly disagree
2 = Disagree
3 = Slightly disagree
4 = Neutral
5 = Slightly agree
6 = Agree
7 = Strongly agree

A. I have so much in life to be thankful for. __________

B. If I had to list everything that I felt grateful for, it would be a very long list. __________

C. When I look at the world, I see so many things that inspire gratitude. __________

D. I am grateful to a wide variety of people. __________

E. As I get older, I find myself more able to appreciate the people, events, and situations that have been part of my life history. __________

F. I feel grateful to something or someone several times a week, sometimes even a few times a day.

Your Score
6 to 18 Points
Although your life may not seem to be brimming over with blessings right now, your gratitude quotient -- and your sense of happiness and fulfillment -- can grow exponentially if you put your attention on those things that are working for you. Cultivate a practice over time, and you'll start to discover a gentle shift in perspective that can have a profound effect on your life.

19 to 31 Points
Although you feel grateful for the things that warrant it (a kind gesture, a generous offer), you tend to view gratitude as a back-end response, rather than as an initiative. See what happens when you practice being proactive about gratitude, receiving whatever comes your way with an open heart (as opposed to waiting for someone or something to earn it). This way you'll begin to experience the full power of gratitude at work.

32 to 42 Points
You're well aware of the power of gratitude and the role it plays in your relationships, your work, and your spiritual growth. And although you may have become very good at receiving and cultivating it, the greatest challenge is to feel it even in the face of disappointment and pain. Make it a personal goal to hone your skill so that you can tap into it even during more trying times.

This quiz was adapted from the "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" (2002) published by the American Psychological Association.

View Full Version : AMP for Prostar 190

05-11-2012, 01:20 PM
I have nice Clarion Head unit and just four speakers....two in the front and two in the back...

I want to install an amp to get a little more out of the speakers (which I know will handle). Any suggestions on an good econimical amp? I don't know much about them...channels, etc? Just want a little louder when riding. No can speakers, no tower...

05-11-2012, 01:43 PM
You can run either a 2 or 4 channel amp, depending on your preference. With a 2 channel you'd have to bridge two speakers together onto one channel to run all 4 speakers, which isn't a big deal, you just lose fade or balance. A 4 channel would keep your current configuration, the speakers would just all have more power.

How much power can the speakers handle? That should determine what amp you're going to buy.

05-11-2012, 01:46 PM
I've got Pioneer TR1640 speakers...maximum of 160 watts

05-11-2012, 01:47 PM
sounds like i might need to go ahead with a 4 channel or even a five if i ever want to put a sub-woofer in bow?

05-11-2012, 01:48 PM
I would go ahead and get a 5 channel in case you ride in a boat with a sub and think, man, I want one! Makes a huge difference - an amp will definately help your 4 speakers. What kind are they? JL's are top of the line but expensive - I have a Memphis Audio 5 channel, but not cheap. I think Malibu uses Kicker now, they are moderate -and I think they are generally considered good. If you plan on keeping the boat long term, go ahead and invest in a good amp.

05-11-2012, 01:53 PM
I bought 4 Pioneer TR1640's near the middle of the summer last year...my boat is a 96' Prostar 190 LT1. Speakers are max 160 watts. I don't want to break the bank, just a little more power. When I installed the new head unit and speakers I used all new larger speaker wire anticiapting an amp later.

05-11-2012, 02:03 PM
Those are 30 watts RMS@4ohms... looks liek 60w RMS@2ohms. Don't try to push 160 watts to those, you'll blow them. RMS is what you need to go by, and honestly, 30 RMS really isn't a whole lot of power... Your head unit is going to push probably ~20w RMS to those speakers (probably a little less), so adding a little more power might not get you the sound you're looking for.

05-11-2012, 02:08 PM
I have Clarion M309 head unit

05-11-2012, 02:17 PM
I'm putting the Onyx 4.80 in my PS 190 this weekend. $120 from Amazon. Will let you know how it comes out!

05-11-2012, 02:40 PM
I used the MB Quart 660 (6 channel). Decent power, marine rated, run the 4 speakers and bridged last 2 channels for 12" sub.

About $170 as I recall online.

05-11-2012, 03:28 PM
thanks guys...let me know.

05-11-2012, 03:35 PM
some install pcs would be nice also

05-15-2012, 01:30 AM
I have 2 JL AMPs. A 500 and a 1000 with 2 JL 12s. I will out thump anything on the lake with my prostar.

05-15-2012, 11:00 AM
Here is my MB 4.80 on a cutting board right behind the observer's seat. It's VERY tight working in there so be sure to take some yoga classes before starting work on this kind of project. There is more info about how I secured mine on the fourth page of this thread: http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/showthread.php?t=46548

05-15-2012, 11:55 AM
i really like that setup!

05-15-2012, 12:56 PM

05-15-2012, 01:29 PM
perfect guys...i see how to get it done now.

05-15-2012, 03:58 PM
I run just deck power to the four Infinity Kappa speakers in my Prostar. For added punch I have a 10" sub in a generic enclosure with a 200 watt amp in the bow. Sounds great. The deck pushes plenty of power to the main speakers and the sub really helps fill in the lows. My amp is mounted on the partition between the bow and drivers foot well. I have it so I can quickly take the sub out or move it around in the bow if need be.

I think this is a much better route to take than simply adding power to the four speakers you already have. With the size and the free air they don't have any low frequency response.

Here is a pick of the amp mounted.

Gratitude journal: She swings!

Tonight I am grateful for my daughter’s joy in swinging.

For the longest time, she hated to swing.

She used her infant swing exactly once.

When the children flocked to the swings in gym class en mass, she would run as far away as possible.

Then somewhere along the way, things changed and she began swinging.

I honestly never thought it would happen.

It serves as a reminder to me. Clara may not be potty trained yet, and she may refuse to eat meat and she may not be able to put on her own pants yet, but that does not mean that these things won’t change, and perhaps overnight.

That’s one of the aspects of parenting that no one ever tells you:

Very little is permanent when it comes to your child. If you find an aspect of parenting particularly annoying, fear not. It will probably be over before you know it.

William Balfour guilty in Hudson murders case

Tribune reporters

Actress Jennifer Hudson cried softly as her former brother-in-law was convicted today of murdering her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

Hudson bowed her head as jurors entered the courtroom around 4:40 p.m. The Academy Award-winning actress, who attended each day of the trial, leaned forward when the verdict was read and softly wept as her fiancé comforted her and family members squeezed her shoulders.

When jurors walked out of the courtroom, Hudson stood on tiptoe to watch them.

William Balfour was found guilty on all counts of murder, home invasion, armed robbery and kidnapping and faces mandatory life in prison. He showed no emotion when the verdict was announced, but his family cried.

While jurors were split 9-3 on a verdict just hours before it was announced, they said afterward that deliberations were cordial and some of them simply wanted more information before deciding on conviction.

"Some people were able to piece it together faster than others," said juror Paula Halcomb.

Jacinta Gholston, who was one of those not convinced of guilt, said there were many "holes" in the timeline that she wanted to see filled before she would vote to convict.

"There were three of us who just needed to see the picture a little clearer," she said.

Jurors said Balfour's cellphone records were a key piece of evidence, allowing the jury to piece the timeline together and, in Halcomb's words, figure out that “he could not be in two places at once.”

Several of the jurors said Hudson's celebrity didn't influence their deliberations.

"She was a celebrity, we understood that. But it wasn't about her," said Gholston. "This was not for us the Jennifer Hudson Case. It was the People of Illinois vs. William Balfour."

Juror Tracie Austin said Hudson's testimony didn't play a big part in her decision because Hudson “didn't say anything” that was crucial to the case.

Balfour's attorney, Amy Thompson, said she would file a motion for a new trial on June 8 and would be preparing an appeal as well. "There are very strong issues of law," she said. "We do have hope. . .It has always been our position and it still is that William Balfour is innocent of these murders.”

But Thompson said she also didn't think Hudson's celebrity had any impact on verdict. "I think the jury was paying attention. They didn't seem too interested in the coming and goings of people in the courtroom, including Miss Hudson," she said.

Jennifer Hudson and her sister Julia Hudson released a statement Friday night thanking the police, prosecutors and witnesses, along with everyone who offered support.

"We have felt the love and support from people all over the world and we’re very grateful," according to the statement.

"We want to extend a prayer from the Hudson family to the Balfour family. We have all suffered terrible loss in this tragedy," they said. "It is our prayer that the Lord will forgive Mr. Balfour of these heinous acts and bring his heart into repentance someday.”

State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said the evidence in the case, though largely circumstantial, was "overwhelmingly." She noted that there were 80 prosecution witnesses and more than 500 pieces of evidence entered.

"There was never a rush to judgment," Alvarez said. "We are very, very happy with the verdict in this case."

Alvarez said the Hudson family "are relieved. . .This verdict cannot bring back their loved ones but we hope this brings them some justice.

"I talked to Jennifer Hudson before this trial," Alvarez continued. "She said, 'This was my mother. If it were me (who was killed), my mother would be here every day. So I'm gonna be every day.'"

The verdict came less than three hours after jurors sent out a note telling the judge they were split but still trying to reach a decision. A second note, issued at the same time, asked for all available evidence about the “cell phone tower coverage.”

The note concluded by saying “we are trying,” an apparent reference to their continued talks.

The judge agreed to send back a transcript of the testimony of FBI Special Agent Nikki Skovran, who performed a forensic analysis of Balfour’s cell phone from the day of the murders that placed him near the Hudson home around the time the victims were shot.

“With regard to the first question, please continue to deliberate,” Judge Charles Burns wrote.

The notes were sent out hours after jurors requested two videos: One from a high school showing the time Balfour's car was left parked on the street, and the other a video showing the police interrogation of Balfour claiming he left it there about 8:30 a.m. on the day of the murders.

Prosecutors have argued that the time stamp on the school security video proved Balfour was lying about his whereabouts that morning.

The jury of six men and six women began deliberations late Wednesday and have been sequestered for two nights at a hotel. They resumed deliberations today at 10:10 a.m.

Balfour, who turned 31 on Thursday, was convicted of fatally shooting the singer’s mother, Darnell Donerson, 57; her brother, Jason Hudson, 29, and her 7-year-old nephew Julian King in October 2008.

Prosecutors said he was upset that his estranged wife, Hudson's sister, Julia, had begun seeing another man and wanted a divorce.

The largely circumstantial case has no DNA or fingerprints tying Balfour to the crime. But prosecutors say witness testimony, firearms evidence and cell phone technology presented during 11 days of testimony all pointed toward Balfour.

The defense argued that Chicago police did not properly investigate the crime and rushed to apprehend a suspect amid all the media attention stemming from Jennifer Hudson's celebrity.
