STOCKHOLM — Honeymoons aren't always easy for newlyweds, but six natural disasters?
More from TODAY.com
Here's the Starbucks holiday drink that didn't make the cut
You may have heard Starbucks is introducing its first new holiday drink in five years: the Chestnut Praline Latte. Here's ...
- See 13 cute Halloween pregnancy announcements, and one that's scary
- Buy this single-family castle for less than $350,000
- Matt Lauer in drag, Hoda as Yoda: 20 years of Halloween on TODAY
- When it comes to retirement savings, 'later' is a bad word
- Here's the Starbucks holiday drink that didn't make the cut
When Stefan and Erika Svanstrom of Stockholm set out on their 4-month-long honeymoon with their baby girl on Dec. 6 they got more than they bargained for: Immediately they were stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms.
But that was just the beginning.
After that, he said, they experienced the devastation of a cyclone in Cairns, Australia, and the flooding in Brisbane, and narrowly escaped the bush fires in Perth.
"We escaped by the skin of our teeth," Svanstrom said, recalling how they were evacuated in Cairns and were forced to spend 24 hours on a cement floor in a shopping center with 2,500 others. "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets."
Just before they arrived in New Zealand, the 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch and in Tokyo, they felt Japan's largest temblor since records began, he said.
"The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings. It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth," said Svanstrom, who also survived the devastating tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004.
On March 29, the family returned to Stockholm after a much calmer visit to their last destination, China.
"I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them," Svanstrom said.
For newlyweds "we've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes in a marriage, but the most important thing is that we're still going strong," he said.

"Playing for Ron Wilson, there has not been a lack of effort. When we lose, it has not been a coaching issue.
"Going into the New Year, the positive thing I see is that we've been playing well pretty much for 50-54 minutes per game. But we always seem to have these clumps of mistakes which cost us. I thought we played a good game (Dec. 16) in Calgary. We were tied. Then they scored three goals in about a minute and that was it.
"We are one of three or four youngest teams in the league. Like I said, we play good hockey for most nights but just have these poor spurts. That's no excuse. That's like saying: 'Other than the (obvious), Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?' "

In a move that should surprise no one, the Jazz announced today that they have signed GM Kevin O'Connor to a multi-year contract extension. Jerry Sloan also confirmed that he will honor the contract extension he signed in December and will coach the team during the upcoming season.
It's safe to say that the announcement of the KOC extension would have been met with a much more negative reaction from Jazz fans had O'Connor not taken Minnesota GM David Kahn out behind the woodshed earlier this summer and, to paraphrase the great Kelly Dwyer, somehow convinced him to give up Al Jefferson for a ham sandwich. If that deal doesn't go down, you can bet there would be major unrest in Jazzdom.
The press release lists O'Connor's accomplishments as GM:
Among some of the key moves orchestrated by O'Connor during his tenure with the Jazz are acquiring the draft picks (through trades) that led to the selection of Deron Williams and Gordon Hayward. Other acquisitions include, trading for Al Jefferson, the free-agent signings of Carlos Boozer, Matt Harpring and Mehmet Okur, and draft finds like C.J. Miles (34th overall in 2005), Paul Millsap (47th overall in 2006), Mo Williams (47th overall in 2003) and Wesley Matthews (undrafted in 2009)
That probably gives him a firm grasp on Best Second Round Draft Picker in NBA History. He's also particularly adept at picking up second-tier players who flourish in Jerry Sloan's system. In that vein, the rest of the accomplishments listed in the press release, such as the +.500 record in 10 of 11 seasons, would probably be more accurately attributed to Sloan.
The bottom line is that the Jazz are poised to keep their front-office intact and competitive in a league that shuffles coaches and GMs around like cheap office furniture. So what do you think? Are you excited for a few more years of the KOC era?

Who wouldn't be excited about this? Anyone who thinks that X's and O's will beat the Lakers are fooling themselves. Jerry and KOC are proven and I think Jerry is every bit as good as the elite coaches in the league.
Problem is you can't coach determination. Now that Boozer (who coudln't stop a 5 year old from taking his lunch money) is gone maybe Deron and the other guys will start to do what Raja and Ronnie Brewer did for this team.
Dig down on defense, this team can't keep giving up 100 points everynight.
I am, I just wish Jerry had as many more years left in him as KOC does.

The inability to recover mission-critical information promptly can spell disaster for a company in today's 24x7 business environment. IDC estimates that server downtime cost organizations roughly $140 billion worldwide in lost worker productivity and revenue in 2007.
Much harder to quantify yet equally important to consider are the opportunity costs associated with failed and delayed recovery of vital applications, databases, and servers. Stringent business requirements and reduced budgets continue to place significant demands on the recovery of data.
Yet, like the property owner who only realizes the importance of homeowner insurance in the wake of a destructive fire, organizations often recognize the value of backup and recovery to the business only after an outage that interrupts operations and results in lost data.
Clearly, this reactive approach must be replaced with a proactive strategy that attaches much greater significance to the role of backup and recovery. By understanding and addressing common backup and recovery issues and implementing the most appropriate solution for their organization, companies can reduce the risk associated with unmet recovery objectives, data loss, and business disruption.
Better Backup
The most important step in maximizing the value of a backup and recovery operation is the development of a backup inventory plan. This step is meant to catalogue all data in the enterprise and to determine the importance to the organization both in speed of recoverability and importance in ensuring it can be restored effectively. After all, impressive backup success rates are of little consequence unless the right data is being backed up. As a result, organizations must be sure that they are preserving their most essential data, such as a customer database that is accessed and modified frequently every day.
To make sure they are backing up the right data correctly, IT should develop a tiered list of backup and recovery requirements that is aligned with the company's business needs. Once this service catalog is established, it should be reviewed and revisited regularly.
Once the service catalogue is completed, the respective costs of the organization's backup and recovery operations should also be determined. Many firms fail to balance costs and risk to meet the most effective options. For example, businesses may pay too much for backup and recovery simply because they are using snapshot technologies and off-host backup for data sets that are not the product of high-volume, mission-critical applications and, therefore, do not warrant such stringent and expensive technology.
Another critical focus area is the development of sound process and procedures in the management of day-to-day operations. A documented set of operation procedures focused on incident management, root cause analysis, and change management are essential in order to effectively execute the strategy. Many companies fail to perform root cause analysis, and thus repeat the same procedural mistakes, making it virtually impossible to optimize a backup and recovery strategy.
Establishing service level agreements to define the expected level of service, and then routinely proactively managing and analyzing backup logs to determine whether jobs are completed successfully are also steps toward more effective backup and recovery. And, when backups fail, thorough incident management should be applied to discover and resolve issues in a timely manner.
Rapid Recovery
Without the ability to recover data, backing up data is useless. As a result, organizations must not only devise and follow a recovery plan, but also make sure it works.
A good disaster recovery plan takes into consideration all the stages of recovery and all the components required. It addresses the need not only for data recovery but also the availability of skills and resources in order to resolve any problem that may occur.
Once a disaster recovery plan is created, it should be documented along with recovery procedures, and tested-not just once, but on a regular basis. By testing and re-testing recovery processes and systems, organizations can uncover and remediate any flaws in their backup and recovery strategy that would leave them vulnerable to the very information loss and downtime that such a plan was designed to avoid.
Backup and Recovery Services
Of course, while managing backup and recovery in-house may be a viable strategy for many enterprises, other organizations may prefer to outsource these operations to a trusted third party. After all, working with a reliable outsourcer alleviates many of the concerns and challenges of undertaking a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy in-house, including areas such as staffing, compliance, service levels and cost.
For example, while the total cost of ownership of an in-house solution may be difficult to measure, an outsourcer charges a fixed monthly fee, providing organizations the assurance of a known, consistent cost. Likewise, while it is often difficult to establish, adhere to, or measure operational service levels internally, an outsourcer that sets strict SLAs guarantees performance. Also, an outsourcer with in-depth experience working out recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives ensures that organizations are better positioned to recover the right data in the right timeframe.
Organizations may also prefer to work with a third-party to leverage the outsourcer's expertise in backup and recovery processes and technologies. An experienced service provider can also help the organization understand and address complex compliance demands as well as aid in responding to audits. In addition, a third party outsource provider can also leverage comprehensive reporting capabilities to bring a more structured approach to protecting critical business data.
By addressing so many critical needs so efficiently, an outsource provider may ultimately enable an organization to focus more on core competencies and deploy critical resources to more strategic business initiatives and projects. The most effective providers are those that offer tailored services, operate according to agreed SLAs, and have a proven record of delivering on their promises and a reputation for ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Whether opting to manage backup and recovery in-house or outsource it to a third party, organizations that make these critical services a business priority will be better positioned to respond effectively in the wake of a disaster or failure. By replacing a reactive attitude toward backup and recovery with a proactive strategy, organizations will significantly mitigate the risk of data loss and business disruption while addressing regulatory and legal demands with efficiency and thrift.
What to Look For in an Outsourced Provider
Once an organization decides to work with a provider to manage backup and recovery operations, they should ask a few simple questions to help secure a beneficial partnership:
- What service levels and metrics do they offer for their backup and recovery service?

Violist Jennifer Marlas Departs The Orion Ensemble
The Orion Ensemble, winner of the prestigious Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, announces that violist Jennifer Marlas, who has been on sabbatical due to health issues, will not be returning to the Ensemble.
"I speak for the entire Ensemble in expressing our gratitude to have had the opportunity to play with Jennifer as a revered core artist for many years," said Orion's clarinetist and executive director Kathryne Pirtle. "We regret that, due to a long-term chronic illness, she will be unable to return. We have been fortunate to have violinist/violist Stephen Boe fill in for Jennifer the past several years, and he will continue to serve as principal guest violist this season and in the future."
"I treasure my years collaborating with such wonderful musicians," said Marlas. "I also value the strong friendships we have formed; they will last a lifetime."
A Chicago native, Marlas studied with Almita and Roland Vamos and won honors in many competitions. She was a four-year scholarship student of Josef Gingold at Indiana University, where she was unanimously awarded a Performer's Certificate and received the Josef Gingold Scholarship. She earned a master's degree and was awarded the Josef Kasper Prize at the Peabody Conservatory. As a member of the Pacifica String Quartet, she won Grand Prize at the Fischoff and 50th Anniversary Coleman competitions and the Nathan Wedeen Management Prize at the Concert Artists Guild Competition. She has performed live-broadcast recitals in Chicago and Los Angeles on the Dame Myra Hess series and has been presented numerous times in recital by the Fine Arts Society and Chicago Chamber Music Society. She has served on the faculties of the Yellow Barn and Mimir Chamber Music festivals.
Orion's 2014-15 season A Taste of Chicago, A World of Romance features a Chicago composer on each program: "Stepping Out" in September and October, with guests Stephen Boe, Sebastian Huydts and Robert Kassinger and works by Chicagoan Jim Gailloreto, Coltrane, Gould, Dvorak and Schubert; "Rhapsody" in November and December, with guest Stephen Boe and works by Chicagoan Sebastian Huydts, Profokiev, Rachmaninov, Müller and Enescu; "Jubilation" in March 2015, with music by Chicagoan Stacy Garrop, Hartmann and Beethoven; and "Celebration" in May 2014, with guest Stephen Boe and works by Chicagoan Marc Mellits, Kókai and Brahms. Also during the season, Orion appears on the broadcast series "Live from WFMT" March 23 and June 1, 2015.

IN FOCUS WITH MARTIN SHEEN to Explore English Language Programs
The producers of In Focus with Martin Sheen are excited to announce an upcoming report highlighting community programs that are teaching new immigrants the English language.
In Focus with Martin Sheen is an independently produced television program airing on public television stations around the country. In Focus Martin Sheen highlights innovations in business and medicine as well as the noble work of community groups. The show is hosted by the legendary Martin Sheen. Mr. Sheen is a veteran of over 60 films in addition to his decorated television career.
For people around the world, the dream of living in the US brings immigrants to our shores and borders every day. For many of them, language barriers prevent these new neighbors from fully integrating into their communities. English as second language programs are sprouting up around the country to help individuals and groups of non-English speakers to learn the most common language in the US.
In Focus with Martin Sheen is planning on airing the report later this year. In Focus with Martin Sheen can be reached through the show's official website at infocusptv.com or on Facebook at facebook.com/InFocusMartinSheen for more information.

Local professional service firms to see fee hit from M&I sale
Send this to a friend
- Stacy Vogel Davis
The sale of Marshall & Ilsley Corp. will affect several Milwaukee-area professional services firms that count the bank as a client.
The company spent $91.4 million on professional service fees in 2009, according to its annual filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Presumably, much of those fees went to Milwaukee-based Godfrey & Kahn SC, M&I's main law firm, and the Milwaukee office of Deloitte & Touche, M&I's auditor.
Officials from Godfrey and Deloitte declined to comment on their current work with M&I and any future potential work.
Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. received a share of M&I's investment banking business, but was not M&I's lead underwriter in a 2009 sale of common stock.
M&I's professional service expenses increased substantially as the economy worsened in recent years and the bank struggled financially. The $91.4 million was up 27 percent from the $72 million M&I spent on professional services in 2008, which in turn was up 69 percent from the $42.5 million it spent in 2007.
Increased legal fees and other fees associated with problem loans during the recession contributed to much of the increase in 2008 and 2009. The company also incurred additional consulting fees in 2009 as it updated its internal systems.
It's unclear whether Godfrey or Deloitte will keep any of M&I's business once the sale to BMO Financial Group is finalized. Godfrey & Kahn acted as a legal adviser to M&I on the acquisition along with New York City-based Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.
This is the second major client Deloitte could be losing in Milwaukee. The company is set to lose about $3 million in audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees with the acquisition of Bucyrus International Inc., South Milwaukee, by Caterpillar Inc.

Hi: 17° Lo:6°
By Chris Willmott Wednesday 13 February 2013 Updated: 21/02 09:27
FIRE STATIONS will stay open, frontline services will be unaffected, five-minute target response times to life-threatening incidents will remain and more firefighters could be recruited.
That is the promise of fire authority chiefs as they ask for an extra £5 per year - 10p a week for Band D properties - from the region's council tax payers.
Bosses from West Midlands Fire Service will consider the plan on Monday (February 18) and have promised that every penny will go towards frontline service.
Cuts, closures and job losses have been the headline stealers for the brigade in recent years as it fights government cash-cutting of over £20million.
By 2015 firefighter numbers will have fallen to 1,230 - nearly 4,000 fewer than 2011, but if the new council tax precent is agreed it could result ina recruitment drive by the end of the year.
Coun John Edwards, chair of West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority, said people would still be making the lowest contribution anywhere in the country.
"This small increase is needed because we are losing over £20 million of central government grant during the current four-year period," he said.
"The small increase we are proposing will ensure we keep our front line as strong as possible, keep all our fire stations open, and maintain our first class five-minute target response time to life-threatening incidents.
"The men and women who work for the fire and rescue service provide a world-class service for communities across our region.
"I hope people will agree that it's worth an extra fiver a year to protect that."
Vij Randeniya, chief fire officer, added: "Our firefighters and staff are continuing to rise to the challenge of unprecedented financial pressures, and are providing a service we can all be justly proud of."

What would you do if your employer pulled you aside and said a new policy was going to be put in place that would ban you from having a personal blog? According to The Raw Feed, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) staff were recently advised to quit blogging about their lives if their blog "clearly associates them with CBC/Radio-Canada." Now any CBC employee that wants to have his or her own blog must get their supervisor's permission, as they are not allowed to identify themselves as a CBC employee, talk about their jobs or express political opinions. Of course, employees are not allowed to blog during work hours and use the company's bandwidth. These blogging rules have caused a lot of uproar to say the least (I couldn't even imagine), so I'm wondering what do you think about them? Do you think every employee has the right to identify themselves and their profession and employer online if they want to?

The startup had previously raised a €250,000 friend and family round, and had been on track to close a €500,000 seed earlier this year — but received a higher funding offer from a different set of investors, which is the $2.3M round it's reporting."

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.

No Room For Size Zeroes as Beth Ditto Walks the Runway
Gossip singer Beth Ditto has always embraced her plus size and Jean Paul Gaultier made sure she had the best threads to do so during a fashion show in Paris.
The voluptuous crooner -- who designs a plus-size range for British retailer Evans -- opened and closed a show this weekend while modeling Gaultier's elaborate creations.
Rocking a blunt black bob and wild sci-fi-esque blue eye shadow, the size 26 star also sang an Ike and Tina Turner classic for the well-heeled crowd.
Ditto -- who once appeared on Love's cover in the nude -- isn't the only curvy beauty to hit the runway. Miranda Kerr -- five months pregnant -- just took turn on the Balenciaga catwalk.
So, is this just a passing fad, or is the fashion world finally ready to embrace full-figured beauty? Guess we'll find out next season.

It will be nice to see more clothes for larger people. Not everyone in the world a size 1.
- Monday 04 OctoberBy Ani
There's a big difference (no pun intended) between being larger than a size one and being morbidly obese. The average plus-size model, at a size 12 or so, is still overweight. However, being larger than that is NOT normal. The only reason that size 12 is an average is because there are, in fact, far too many people who are morbidly obese. Average does not necessarily equal healthy.

I hate to break it to the author but being pregnant does not make you full-figured or curvy.
Brava to Beth Ditto, though.

She looks great and it's nice to see a designer creating something for a full figured woman to wear on the runway.
And I have to say those fishnets look great on her. I've got larger legs myself and I've stayed away from patterned tights, but now I'm thinking I might give it a try.
- Tuesday 05 OctoberBy SiastaEg
Women with tree trunks for legs shouldn't be allowed to wear fishnets.
- Monday 04 OctoberBy andrea
i find it really refreshing, im a size 12 and its nice to see someone taking a stand, not only that but she looks so good in both outfits. i see the dumb fat jokes, but its probably someone who is just insecure with themselves so they need to say things like that. she is not disgusting or ugly, she is simply a larger size of a regular model. she has an attractive face and nice legs, i just dont see why someone would say she's ugly??? its not like she's showign a bunch of skin or anything. taylor momsen is way uglier than her for instance.
- Monday 04 OctoberBy sam
But she is not a size 12. She is at least a size 24 or larger. She is way too unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with loving yourself, but when there is a health problem (Obesity) at least try to work on it. Yes what I typed was mean. I don't like her views, so I was childish, that was wrong. She is unhealthy, just as are those who are too thin.
- Monday 04 OctoberBy Pookie
There's nothing wrong with a plus sized woman if she dresses properly. I understand the fashion 'concept' of distracting from certain areas of the body, but they dressed her terribly. In the left picture, she looks like she got snagged on a curtain rod. In the other, she looks like a waitress gone haywire. The hair and makeup are hideous too.
Nothing's going to disquise the fact that she's a plus sized woman. Simpler more stream-lined clothing will always be fashionable no matter what the size.
