ABC/Randy HolmesAfter scoring a #1 debut with his album Handmade earlier this year, Shawn Mendes has just landed his first-ever top 10 hit with "Stitches." But Shawn says performing the tune, about a painful breakup, takes a lot out of him because he tries to imagine those emotions every time he sings it.
The video for the clip features Shawn being beaten to a pulp by an invisible attacker, but he says it's a metaphor for what the song is actually about. "It's kind of like me getting beaten up by the emotion of the breakup," Shawn tells ABC Radio. And when he sings it, he gets emotionally beat up as well.
"The best way to sing a song is to really have the emotion in your voice and really think of the emotion -- how it will be -- and that's kind of what I do every time," he explains. "I mean, just as you can imagine, actors when they're acting, having to be sad, it takes a bunch out of them. It's the same thing [for me]."
Shawn's top-10 achievement means that five of the top-10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 are by Canadians, namely Drake, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber.
In addition to having success on the charts, Shawn is also doing well in concert: he's been opening stadium shows for Taylor Swift in between smaller gigs. Today, for example, he'll be in Philadelphia performing at the Forbes 30 Under 30 charity concert, along with Fetty Wap, Lindsey Stirling and Hanson, and then he has a few solo state fair dates. That's quite a difference from performing in the country's largest stadiums with Taylor, says Shawn.
"Stadiums, they're like 50,000 people a night and it's just the most ridiculous thing ever. Amazing," he tells ABC Radio. "It's like every emotion; it's like a sea of people."
Shawn's next stadium date with Taylor is October 17 in Arlington, TX.

I suppose it is possible that the clip could be bent, but really all the clip does is interact with the AI mount to move the metering ring. So if you are using an AI lens and the clip catches and moves as you adjust aperture then that shouldn't be the problem.

Blacklisting Cultural Bad Tippers
Posted 07 June 2014 - 04:29 AM
A lot of the time it includes dealing with customers that are seeking attention for some reason or other, that nobody can actually fathom - not even the customer. Often, there are three sides to the story - the customers, the waiters and the actual. Firstly, you mentioned that the customer is of a specific cultural background and some cultures have a male dominance over women. Could this be the problem? The client looks at the situation that he is being served by a female and culturally tries to be dominant, whilst your waiter thinks he is a pig and does not tip in the amount he or she expects. But meanwhile, the guy was brought up to be dominant and subconsciously is doing just that, in a way he most likely does not understand or comprehend.
The way to help determine what is going on - and I do not know the size of your restaurant or staff complement - is to get a male waiter to serve the patron for a few meals and see what happens. Is he as rude and trying to be dominant or does he settle down. If he settles down, you have a clue to what is going on. If he does not . . . . Well, if I was in your shoes, I would serve the guy a good meal and when it came to presenting the bill I, as the owner, would go up to him and politely ask him if I could sit at his table and have a chat, telling him that you have noticed the staff appear not to have met his expectations and ask him if all has been in order. If he answers that all has been excellent or fine, tell him that the staff are not there to be abused, that his meal is on the house but you would prefer he seek another restaurant in town for his future meals.
Culturally, some males have a strange way in dealing with people of the opposite sex. I live on the bottom tip of Africa and we really have a diverse population regarding the different cultures within the different population groups and male dominance is a massive problem here. I equate it in a similar manner to an abusive husband beating up his wife in front of the kids. Often you find, when the kids grow up the male kids are often abusive to their spouse - that is, unfortunately, a sad part of life and to break the chain is extremely difficult.
I honestly, reading through your posts above, do not think this is about a 9% tip - it could be more about culture, as noted above, or even sexual harassment and your waiter has just not been direct with you and is using the tip as an excuse. I ain't there, so the above is purely speculation on what you have written and experiences learnt in my previous establishments.
And just as an aside, we at the bottom tip of Africa have a "norm", if I can use that word, of tipping 10% of the total bill. I have had friends from other parts of the world, where tipping does not take place, who have taken my wife and myself out for dinner and paid the bill. I have then had to quietly ask the waiter if the person paying had included a tip and often found that they had not as it is just not done in certain countries. I have then slipped the waiter his or her tip. There are also restaurants here that have a sign at the entrance or printed on their menu that all staff are salaried and no tips are required or expected. It is also illegal here to include a "gratuity" on a bill.

Why are cash tips considered "non-reportable?"
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but our accountant said that as a business we only report tips made by credit card; and the common understanding is that cash tips just disappear. That's why probably a quarter of all tips are made with cash even on bills paid by credit card - probably by former restaurant workers.

I'll send you a PM later today. However, cash tips are reportable, though they're often "overlooked."

Cash tips are taxable and the employees should be reporting them to you so you can include them. Back in 1978 when the first casino opened in Atlantic City. The IRS decided to start vigoursly enforcing the law about cash tip reporting for the brand new casino's employees. If the employee or employer couldn't come up with a figure for the cash tips, the IRS is allowed to estimate the tips and base the taxes due on their estimate. You'd be amazed at the figures the IRS came up with. Even back in '78 the IRS seems to have assumed everybody tipped at least 20%. I know this because I worked for an agency that was closely related to the IRS and had frequent occasions to swap information regarding earnings back and forth with them. You might want to go to the IRS website and get copies of their publications regarding tips, and employer/employee reporting responsibilities. I know I haven't provided you with a solution for your obnoxious customer/unhappy server problem, but I have at least provided a distraction for you. Actually if you were in NJ rather than NM I'd suspect we had the same Accountant.

Is there any reason you couldn't just do what most industries do: pay your employees a higher rate, raise your prices to cover the higher rate, and eliminate tipping?

This was eluded to before, and one key factor that someone state keeps ringing in my ears - now that we're a destination restaurant we can have a bit more wiggle room with the rules. So here are the real numbers.
My pricing is crazy but appropriate for remote small town rural New Mexico. I do a 5-7 course modernist foraged tasting dinner with significantly sized entree and dessert included for either $39 or 44 depending on which entree you select. I already pay my server double tipped minimum. As I previously said my server averages over 20%, but let's just say we bump 20% - that puts the meal at $47 or 53. 39 bumps to 47 and 44 bumps to 53. That's a hefty jump but also still low. Nightly I hear, "If you were open in (insert any big city here) you could charge $75-125 for the same meal." But when I opened I was very clear that I wanted to be accessible to my local clientele.
In reality we haven't raised the prices, we've just been more clear in pricing to include what historically has proven to be the full amount after tip. As others have noted, the downside is if you don't think the server warranted a tip you can't do anything about it.

It was I that said that, and I believe it. If you look at a list of restaurants that are currently using the prepriced, "no tipping" policy, they're all pretty big boys in the culinary world, and it sure hasn't hurt their business. I honestly think that, from everything I've read about your restaurant, here and on other websites, you could definitely get away with it.
And look at it this way, if not, you can always revert to the previous policy.
Nobody's gonna fuss about your prices going back down.

I wonder what your server's response would be if you had a regular customer who ordered a dinner at $44 each visit but drank nothing but water. A second regular came in on the same evenings and ordered a dinner at $44 and a $50 dollar bottle of wine. At 20%, the first customer would be tipping $8.80 and the second customer would leave $18.80. Would your server suggest banning the first regular because the tips from him or her were less than half than those from the second diner?
I would suggest that you, as the owner, make a point of getting to know the person with the 9% tipping habit and express your gratitude for his custom. You could do this by personally stopping by his table before he leaves on several occasions and chat with him for a while (unless, of course, he is an early diner and you are still busy with other meals). Once he feels privileged because he has a one on one relationship with one of the proprietors, you could more easily broach the subject of tipping with him and at least learn whether his practice is a matter of ignorance or whether he is a cheapskate. It would be nice to know.

When the customer came in last week this is what happened - just to give you an idea. The kitchen (aka me) screwed up the duck confit. I did. First time in 6 years, but I did and it was dry. Midway through eating his entree he told the server. She told me. I asked if he wanted a re-fire (10-15 minutes) or did he want to finish it. The answer would determine how we proceeded. He finished it and so we comped the meal (not the drinks or dessert). But from the moment that she told him the meal was comped he three separate times from across the room (its a fairly small dining room) said loudly to her that it was the driest duck he had ever had "it shouldn't' have been that way." She works hard at creating a positive vibe in the dining room including often engaging tables among each other. He was killing the vibe, bitching unnecessarily and doing potential harm to reputation and her revenue. When he left he made one more jab. All we could assume is that he was pushing for the whole bill to be comped. He was an ass. Rarely, and by rarely I mean, I can't think of a single instance - a kitchen mistake is punished in the tip.
I think it would be totally appropriate in that scenario to go out to the table and have a little chat, informing him that you cooked the duck and any issues with it should be addressed to you, and to please be respectful of your staff and other diners. I would be really uncomfortable if I was trying to enjoy a nice meal and some loudmouth kept complaining like that.
I agree with the others, you can't ban a general group or even a habitual lousy tipper, but you can ban individual assholes if they are harassing your staff or interfering with your business.

The duck confit issue could have been curtailed if the chef had gone out and apologized to the customer personally. Stuff happens in the best of kitchens and this seems to be a one off. My managerial spidey-sense is still telling me that there is more to this than meets the eye --- especially since the owner/chef's eyes are in the kitchen and not on the floor.
Just from rereading this thread, the server sounds a bit entitled herself: she is paid double the tipped wage already (!), she is grousing about a "lousy" tipper when he is still tipping nearly 10% and, she is literally crying on the boss's shoulder about what a meany-head the customer is and wants him banned. If she hasn't outright suggested a ban, then she certainly seems to have planted the seed.
Make some calls to your fellow restaurateurs and ask some general questions about how they have handled a similar situation. That's what I would do since you know your city better than we do here.

Coming from a country where tipping is optional, and at most 10% is given if the service is great, I must admit I nearly fainted when i read that server's ytd was 26%.
I found the conversation about the customer's behaviour quite interesting as it is something, thanks to the number of foodie / restaurant review blogs popping up, our restaurant industry has been asking as well. How to restaurants deal with the objectionable diner - whether in the restaurant or via a review? This article, about an online booking system, Dimmi, potentially turns the table on customers. The question still remains - what does the restauranteur do?

I work in the IT industry and service people on pretty much the same level as the food industry, most of the time more urgent. They want something and they want it now. I happen to be providing services for a university with a $40k semester tuition. I don't get tips and don't make more than a decent server. I provide the same service to clients no matter what.
If someone on your team is not happy about the amount they're getting for serving one person, then they're not getting paid enough or they are ungrateful and selfish.
Even thinking about turning someone away because they don't provide a tip, which isn't mandatory, is unethical.

I agree and basically said as much in my initial response. But did you reply to the original post only or follow the conversation all the way through? Because more information of a different nature was supplied as the discussion went on. It evolved past the tipping issue, which Rob already said he's dealt with, to the customer also being rude and disruptive. It is well within any business's rights to continue to provide service under those circumstances but, like tipping, it isn't mandatory. I personally will not tolerate abuse to servers or the disrupting of other customers in the interest of not losing a customer.

Maybe you need to just start a no tipping above %2 policy and just pay the servers fairly. After all, someboy that serves the most expensive thing on the menu doesn't really deserve more than someone that servers the cheapest thing if they take the same amount of effort on his/her part...
Posted 20 July 2014 - 12:02 PM
After following this topic for some time it is my opinion that you and your server really need to stop and take a wider view of this situation, i.e., this is just one customer, one tiny portion of your whole, large clientele. Do both of yourselves a big favor and just suck it up. Forget that he's a lousy tipper and concentrate on the big picture. And make sure this server adjusts her attitude.
If he is, however, harassing people, that needs to be dealt with.

That's essentially what we've done. Anyone who's worked on the floor knows that you can't stay Susy Sunshine all the time, but the best ones are able to more than the others. "Suck it up," and "Deal with it," and other harsh responses certainly aren't motivating, so we've had conversations over the past month or two that get her to the same place of understanding. We're both getting a much needed vacation next week which will undoubtedly help. And as other have suggested I've continued to reinforce the big picture of one bad tipper v. 100 great tippers, and when we've had a poor tip from other customers she's been repeating that line back to me so I think she's getting it. As for the airline comparison - different system so its not really relevant to this discussion IMO.
We haven't seen that specific guy for a while - I think he's a contractor who comes in and out for the mines - so all of the ideas about addressing his poor behavior haven't been addressed yet.

I apologize. Reading my post back to myself I do sound harsh and unsympathetic, which I am not at all; I wish I had not used the pharase 'suck it up'. I do get that you've really tried to work through this problem and the customer hasn't made it easy.
I really hope you all of you will be able to work this out. It may be that there's a good life-lesson to be learned here.

I must just be heartless since I don't find the phrase "suck it up" harsh at all.
The server is there to wait on people not turn the dining room into a fiefdom.

I didn't take it as a personal attack, its a matter of how to motivate employees. "Suck it up" is not IMO the most useful way of discussing the situation when it comes to long-lasting positive change. So absolutely no need to apologize.

Would the problem be reduced if the US abolished the "tipped wage" concept, if employers were required to pay a competitive salary, and if the public were allowed to go back to the more logical system of tipping up to 10% for really good service, 5% for above average, and otherwise nothing? How did this prickly tension-producing custom become so ingrained, leading to ever-increasing tip %s? Bizarre.
As other posters have commented, I don't tip my car mechanic for keeping me alive, or my cardiologist, and I owe them both much more than the server at the local pizzeria. Ah, but they don't depend on tips for a decent quality of life, I hear.

It's a bit more complicated than that, Pedro. Not all States in the US have a "tipping wage", but the ones that do have it set waaay below minimum wage, and in some States is it well below $3.00/hr. But think about it for a minute. In order to get a tipping wage you have to acknowledge that a minimum wage exists before you can go below it, and then you have to lobby to get it made into law.
Who holds such clout?
Secondly, you have to realize that serving is not a "real" job in N. America, it's just something to pay the bills until something better comes along. Because of this attitude, there is no standard/benchmark for servers--unlike most parts in Europe where a server completes a (usually) 2 year apprenticeship. No standards/benchmarks for the profession, no salary scale. Hence the (successful) lobby effort to get a tipping wage.
Things are different in Europe.....

This is an old thread but I'd like to offer one possible solution. Would it be comfortable for either you or the server to say something like "I see you don't tip a standard 15% and am wondering if we're doing something wrong?" But honestly I just cringed writing this :) I think your solution is the right one.

Yeah, I cringed reading it too. Asking for feedback regarding food and/or service is okay... but not so much when you preface it by putting a spotlight on their tipping preference. You're basically asking them "Did we do something wrong or are you just cheap?".

How about saying very nicely, "When you dine here you act like a douchebag, are we doing something to upset you?" Absolutely just kidding and think you've handled it very well. I would have a hard time putting up with truly rude behavior, I suppose I'm not cut out for customer service.

.............way old thread. but recent events repeat history.
a "tipping wage" - first understand that the wild-eyed "OMG they get paid nothing" is completely removed from the truth. in the case a waitperson does not report enough tips to equal the minimum hourly wage the employer must pay them addtional over and above the $3.xx "tip wage" in some states, employers are required to pay the full minimum wage (heading for $15+/hr) and the waitperson gets 100% of their tips _in addition_ to the state/local minimum $8-15/hr (current) wage paid by the employer.
if you wonder why so few waitpersons are chiming in about starving to death on less than no wages..... it's because so many of them make a lot of money based on tips - forget about _any_ hourly wage amount paid by their employer. the $3.xx minimum/hour tip wage is a way long dismissed after thought. one honest bartender cited making $1500 in tips _per night_ Fri-Sat-Sun. do the math: Fri+Sat+Sun=$4500 times 50 weeks/year (gotta do some vacation....) that's $225,000/yr plus hourly wage plus tips for Monday thru Thursday. this is why we don't see a lot of whine from waitstaff.....
a waitperson whining to the management about a customer not tipping to the waitperson's expectations - well, the waitperson needs a different occupation. he/she may seem to be popular - but his/her attitude is bleeding through to all the clientelle. in my world, at the conclusion of his/her whining, he/she would have his/her walking papers in hand. a business does not need a front line representative with that kind of approach.
in Germany, located in Europe, unless they've moved it of late.... the menus state at the bottom: words to the effect "Prices include a 15% service fee." if one is prepared to walk out of an eatery that includes / specifies a service fee, do not go to Europe - you will become very very hungry. a lot of European wait staff just adore Americans. because Americans don't know about the 'included' fees so they add 15-50000% on top of the 'tip already included' price.
I suspect legal requirements differ. I have been to places for example in Italy....there's not a question remaining about being 'not local' after listening to my Italian...where I've been charged for the tablecloth, the utensils, the glassware - oh, and the food.....
it is customary in Germany to 'round-up' the bill. but a percentage of 'rounding up' is not applied or expected from locals. note also the overwhelming quantity of tabs are paid in cash. none of that credit card writing in to the penny stuff.

Interesting that this thread has revived itself. All these months later here's where things are. I still have my same server, who still is pretty damn amazing, albeit human. I don't live in this magical fairyland of abundance of applicants and staff with heroic professional and world experience like many of you. I have small town youth who, many have never left the area, and who do the best with what they have. Which brings me back to my server. As a result of this thread and me taking more of an educational and mentoring approach with her, she has grown immensely when non-American diners come into the restaurant. In fact, the couple that prompted this topic are regulars coming in weekly, and they still complain and they still tip at non-American standards. BUT, we both understand that they aren't complaining to be rude or mean, and they aren't tipping as a gesture of the service.
Last night we had two non-related couples from California, both of whom were Euro expats. Both of whom tipped at Euro standards, and one of which shared their criticisms throughout the meal. But to show you how far she (we) have come - my server acknowledged to me at the 2nd course that they were European, and laughed at their comments in the kitchen, but remained consistent in her positive attitude with the table. One big improvement is that the info that was fed to me by her prepped me for when I went out at dessert, and had a great time chatting them up. They were a lot of fun - loud, direct, borderline raunchy, fun. The tips was right at 10% for both tables. No offense was taken and I know that the tip was cultural because they were bidding on which of their cities needed us to move there and re-open. They loved their meal.
This thread has been immensely helpful.

However, I find it not so much misinformed when Europeans come to the US and don't tip appropriately as they just don't think it's a valid way to spend money and show appreciation. And that pisses me off. I don't go to other countries and expect them to speak English, or basically go with any assumptions that their culture resembles that of my own area of the US. I educate myself and behave accordingly. 98 % of visitors to the US from overseas are well aware of our cultural tipping standard, they just won't part with their money. Any international visitor that seeks out fine dining or well established and well regarded restaurants are well aware of the US tipping culture. They aren't going to Hard Rock or Applebee's, at least in this instance and the instances I found myself in (I have only worked in fine dining).
The other 2%? I attribute to business travelers who aren't used to expensing meals where a 20% tip is acceptable to expense. My husband had an awkward moment with one of his reports from the UK who on his visit to NYC only tipped 8% on all expensed meals. Said person genuinely thought any tip higher would raise flags with compliance as it would have had he been in the UK, my husband explained it was fine here. A difficult conversation, sure, but one my husband felt necessary.

At Sterling Golf and Swim Club, golfers send balls sailing down the tree-lined fairways of an 18-hole, par 54 golf course, and swimmers backstroke across two 25-meter pools. For nearly half a century, club-wielders have traversed past water and dodged bunkers at the executive course, giving the pines and weeping willows ample time to flourish, and the nonprofit club itself has existed for four decades. Two kiddie pools flank the club's two larger pools, enabling wee ones to practice breathing through their gills while their older siblings butterfly down lanes, and a game room provides indoor entertainment. An adult lounge lets weary golfers relax in peace, and the clubhouse's pro shop outfits players searching for golf balls whose dimples perfectly match their own.

"Great par 3 for iron practice - longest hole about 195 yards (3 or 4 iron) and a number of 135 yard holes (8 iron). I had a fast 18 holes which made it even more fun."
"The course was in much better shape, and more challenging than other par three courses I've played Decent value without the groupon, awesome value with it"
"Great little course to work on my golf game for cheap. My game is definitely improving."

Stu Burguiere sat in for Glenn Beck on last night's television program where he interviewed Rabbi Daniel Lapin ostensibly about reports that a gay couple was going to sue the Church of England for the right to get married in the church. Lapin said that instances like this, as well as the various cases that have occurred in the United States, are not about equal rights at all but rather are part of an all-out effort to destroy Judeo-Christian values and the Bible. "This is a flagrant attempt to censor, undermine, and ultimately obliterate Christianity," Lapin said. "That... MORE >

On his television program last night, Glenn Beck interviewed a special needs student who has been ruthlessly bullied by fellow students at her Plano, Texas high school. Beck followed up that segment with an interview with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, where he asked Lapin what was happening to us as a nation that this sort of thing was becoming more and more common place. Lapin responded by declaring that America is "no longer one nation under God" and was being taken over by a secular socialist values system, the very sort that led to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia.

On several occasions, Glenn Beck has made it clear that he does not share the Religious Right's panicked belief that marriage equality will destroy the nation and even stated that the push for equality is winning "because the principle of it is is right." So it was a little odd that he handed over his television program last night to David Barton and Rabbi Daniel Lapin who spent the entire hour making the case that, in fact, marriage equality will destroy the nation and that government has no right to change God's definition of marriage. While Barton claimed that the... MORE >

For Glenn Beck, nothing is ever what is seems and so when President Obama travels to Israel, it cannot be because that is just the sort of thing that presidents do, but rather because there is some nefarious agenda at work. As Beck sees it, Obama already won the election and has no intention of changing any of his positions on issues pertaining to Israel or the region, so there is no reason for him to travel there ... but he did, and so there must be a hidden reason. Beck found that hidden reason in a piece that suggests that Obama's visit there is designed to strengthen the Muslim... MORE >

Ringworm, also called dermatophytosis, is an infection caused by exposure to one of several forms of environmental fungi. Once the fungi become established on a dog's hair, toenails or superficial layers of skin, characteristic ringworm signs begin to appear. By itself, ringworm is not particularly itchy and usually doesn't cause any bothersome symptoms in affected animals. However, it does cause hair loss and scaly skin, which creates a rich environment for secondary bacterial skin infections. These can be irritating and often lead to weeping skin sores caused by licking, rubbing, scratching and biting at the infected areas.
The classic signs of a ringworm infection are circular areas of hair loss, with dry scaly skin in the center and a red ring at the outer edges. These areas tend to gradually increase in size. In dogs, ringworm shows up most frequently on the face, ears, paws, tail and/or tail base. The signs of ringworm can easily be confused for a number of other skin disorders, including localized demodectic mange, hair follicle infections and bites from flies or other troublesome external parasites. Owners of dogs with ringworm may notice one or more of the following signs:
Ringworm can occur anywhere on a dog's body, including the face and legs. The infection typically stays in one primary area. The patches may grow, but they do not routinely spread to other locations on a dog's body. However, if the dog has an impaired immune system or another underlying medical condition, ringworm is more likely to spread across its skin. Ringworm does not normally cause itchiness or scratching, but it can.
Puppies and young dogs have an increased chance of contracting ringworm infections because of their underdeveloped immune systems. Dogs whose immune status is compromised, such as those in pet stores, animal shelters or other high-density housing facilities and those with cancer, poor nutritional status, internal or external parasites or other systemic diseases, are also predisposed to developing ringworm. Dogs undergoing chemotherapy have weakened immune systems and may be predisposed to developing ringworm infection. Ringworm is highly contagious between dogs and can infect people as well.

OutlookFor 2015, IFS expects good growth in both license revenue and EBIT.
Strong license growth
License revenue saw strong growth in quarter two, 25 percent currency adjusted. This growth is attributable to good performance in our target market that includes offshore, EPCI, infrastructure, service management, process and industrial manufacturing. IFS not only provides an advanced solution for these businesses but is also able to demonstrate notable success in delivering global projects at lower cost and risk. This combination in capabilities is the main factor contributing to our attractiveness for demanding global customers. The expected pick up in license revenue growth in quarter two means our year-to-date growth now stands at 12 percent currency adjusted.
During May we announced the release of Applications 9 at our World User Conference in Boston. This new version has further increased the appeal of our product in the market and created additional interest within our customer base in upgrading its systems to this new release. We also announced that we had now passed the milestone of having one million IFS Applications users. This is significant as this expanding population is increasing its investment in our product, which has also contributed to the growth in license sales.
Our retention of customers remains high. The growth in maintenance and support revenue, 3 percent currency adjusted, was lower than previous quarters but the same quarter last year benefitted from a one-off recognition in previously unrecognized revenue. The underlying growth was 6 percent, with a margin of 73 percent. The increase in our consulting margin to 25 percent (Q2 '14: 19) is in part the result of the heavy investment made in recent years in developing our partner ecosystem. Our activity with partners continues to increase in momentum and especially our partner-based cloud offering.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter improved to SKr 96 million (85) whereas EBIT decreased to SKr 64 million (70), reflecting higher amortization and currency-related losses. In addition, a major impact on overall earnings in quarter two was the temporary increase of SKr 50 million in sales and marketing expenses following the release of Applications 9 and the World User Conference in Boston. Spikes in sales and marketing expenses could be expected from time to time in connection with major events and releases. Our underlying operating expenses continue to be in good shape, with an increase of 2 percent in quarter two, adjusted for the aforementioned temporary spike in sales and marketing expenses and currency.
We continue to pursue an active agenda for mergers and acquisitions to add further breadth to our offering and to add value to our business. This can be seen in our recent acquisition of VisionWaves, which was announced after the close of the second quarter. The acquisition of VisionWaves adds a strategic complimentary product that provides operational intelligence, one of the fastest-growing sectors for enterprise applications. VisionWaves, which has been sold previously as a partner product, is expected to further improve the perception of IFS by both industry analysts and global system integrators.
For 2015, industry analyst firms such as Gartner remain cautious and expect the ERP market's development to be slightly below the past year's, with a growth in software revenue in the 7 percent range.
We continue to expect good growth in both license revenue and EBIT in 2015.

Not every presidential election is worth a book more than a quarter-century after the last ballot has been counted. The 1964 race was different, though, and author Rick Perlstein knows exactly why. That year, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, a Democrat, trounced his opponent, Barry Goldwater, a Republican senator from Arizona, in a blowout of historic proportions. The conservative wing of the GOP, which had toiled for so long as the minority partner in a coalition dominated by more liberal brethren, finally had risen to power and nominated one of its own, only to see him crash in terrible splendor. It looked like a death, but it was really a birth: a harrowing introduction to politics that would serve conservatives well in the years ahead as they went on to great success. Conservatives learned a lot in 1964:
It was learning how to act: how letters got written, how doors got knocked on, how co-workers could be won over on the coffee break, how to print a bumper sticker and how to pry one off with a razor blade; how to put together a network whose force exceeded the sum of its parts by orders of magnitude; how to talk to a reporter, how to picket, and how, if need be, to infiltrate--how to make the anger boiling inside you ennobling, productive, powerful, instead of embittering.These were practical lessons that anybody in politics must pick up. For conservatives, the rough indoctrination came in 1964, and Perlstein (who is not a conservative) tells their story in detail and with panache. Before the Storm is not a history of conservative ideas (for that, read The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, by George Nash), but a chronicle of how these ideas began to matter in politics. The victory of Ronald Reagan in 1980--to say nothing of Newt Gingrich in 1994 and George W. Bush in 2000--might not have been possible without the glorious failure of Barry Goldwater in 1964. As Perlstein writes, "You lost in 1964. But something remained after 1964: a movement. An army. An army that could lose a battle, suck it up, regroup, then live to fight a thousand battles more." --John J. Miller --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
In the 1964 presidential campaign, LBJ ate Barry Goldwater for lunch and thereby, according to the pundits, stuck a fork in the heart of American conservatism. But Goldwater's politics were vindicated, Perlstein argues, by subsequent elections, especially Reagan's in 1980, and his tenets are championed today on both sides of the aisle. Perhaps. What's more important about Perlstein's argument is its subtext. By casting the senator as the long-term winner, Perlstein's chronicle vindicates what appears to have been Goldwater's magnificently ham-handed campaign. Conservative readers will cringe at the missed opportunities and wrongheaded tactics; the scattered and mismanaged themes, including Goldwater's crippling clarion call for extremism; the extremists who embraced him; and the backroom machinations and supporters that in many ways created Goldwater. Certainly they'll see Nixon and Reagan in an unlikely light: using the deck of the sinking ship Goldwater as a platform for their own careers. Liberal readers, on the other hand, will approach the pinnacle of schadenfreude. And they'll either be peeved or amused by Perlstein's unabashed partisanship, perhaps best shown in his observation that LBJ's deputy Bill Moyers pioneered dirty campaign tactics: "the full-time-espionage, sabotage, and mudslinging unit." Aptly casting conservativism as the triumphant underdog, Perlstein observes that "in 1995 Bill Clinton paid Reagan tribute by adopting many of his political positions. Which had also been Barry Goldwater's positions. Here is one time, at least, in which history was written by the losers." With Republicans again in the ascendancy, this account of their fall and subsequent rise should interest readers of all political stripes. Illus. not seen by PW.

Mike Tolbert RB CAR 6 days ago
Tolbert finished Sunday's win over the Saints with five rushes for 16 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 28 yards.
Mike Tolbert RB CAR 2 weeks ago
Tolbert rushed five times for 31 yards and caught two passes for four yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.
Mike Tolbert RB CAR 9 months ago
Tolbert managed just 78 rushing yards on 37 carries and caught 12 passes for 93 yards through eight games played this season.
Tolbert, the Panthers' bulldozer full back, missed an eight-game chunk during the middle of season due to a slight leg fracture suffered in Week 3. That prolonged absence hurt Tolbert's hit-or-miss fantasy stock, which is mostly rooted in his goal-line scoring ability anyway. To that point, Tolbert notched an outstanding 35 touchdowns over the previous four seasons, making his zero-touchdown 2014 all the more disappointing. Fortunately, Tolbert is still under contract with the Panthers for next season, when he'll hope for a healthy and hard-running rebound campaign.
Mike Tolbert RB CAR 9 months ago
Tolbert ran twice for seven yards and caught a one-yard touchdown pass during Saturday's playoff win over the Cardinals.
Tolbert saw his usual short-yardage work, which was highlighted by a late touchdown catch to seal the Panthers' victory. As in recent weeks, Carolina's running game continues to purr, with Tolbert leading the way blocking and offering goal line potential for fantasy owners as well.
Mike Tolbert RB CAR 10 months ago
Tolbert (knee) is listed as active Sunday in Minnesota.
Ready to roll for the first time since Week 3, Tolbert's occasional end-zone visit could materialize against a Vikings defense that has given up 12 combined touchdowns to running backs this season. More likely, though, he'll pave the way for the likes of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, keeping Tolbert's boom-or-bust potential in check.
Mike Tolbert RB CAR 10 months ago
Tolbert (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Tolbert will be ready to return to the Carolina backfield as a fullback and occasional carry/catch vulture, but attempting to anticipate his useful fantasy days probably isn't a worthwhile endeavor.

Your first look at where Dallas could sink water parks meant to replace city swimming pools
Four years ago this month the Dallas City Council got its initial peek at the Park and Recreation Department's plans to fill in the city's 17 neighborhood swimmin' holes and replace them with water parks. At the time, then-Park and Rec director Paul Dyer told the council: Maintaining the aging pools was getting too expensive to justify, and, besides, "These pools don't serve the public the way they used to." Hence the July 2012 Aquatics Facilities Study that led to the 2013 update that led to the sale of Elgin B. Robertson for $31.8 million that will be poured into the water parks.
Now, finally, we have some idea where the city could sink those water parks.
On Wednesday, the council will be briefed on Kimley-Horn and Associates' site selection recommendations — "very preliminary site selection recommendations," per Park and Rec director Willis Winters — for so-called Phase I locations. There are five: three "regional" facilities (which, the city says, would include "7,500–9,500 square feet of water"), one smaller "community" park and another smaller-than-that "neighborhood" slip-n-slide. Two more community and neighborhood parks are also proposed.
(In case you missed it, in June the council OK'd spending $54,500 on the master plan update.)
Per the briefing below, the regional parks would be spread out: Fretz in the north (at the cost of $6.5 million), Samuell Grand in the center ($7.5 million) and the new Crawford site in the south ($8.7 million). Kidd Springs in North Oak Cliff would get a community park (with a projected $4.5 million price tag), while Tietze gets a neighborhood park for $3.5 million. Add in the remaining $1.1 set aside for "reserve for inflation and
adds to existing facilities," and you get $31.8 million. Continue reading
