Founded by close friends Don Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech (each having over 25 years of experience in the RV industry). Although they have lead some of the most successful companies in the RV industry, and are proud of their accomplishments at Keystone RV, they recognized that it was becoming more difficult to stay in touch with the needs of customers, employees, and the products being built.
So, in 2011 they began pursuing their dream of reconnecting on a more personal level with customers and dealers. The result of that pursuit is Grand Design RV. A company designed to create recreational vehicles that provide more features, better designs and unparalleled customer support!

Shares of Nu Skin fell as much as 18 percent on Monday
after the direct seller of personal care products forecast in an earnings report it could incur between $10 million and $14 million in restructuring charges for the fourth quarter. The restructuring move includes cutting jobs at its Provo corporate office and in China, and closing 67 retail stores in the Asian country.
Kara Schneck, Nu Skin's spokeswoman, could not immediately specify how many of its 1,200 Provo workers would be laid off and which departments will be affected.
It's also not clear how many of its 4,500 workers companywide, primarily those in China, will be affected by the planned layoffs. These layoffs are aimed at reducing general and administrative expenses and improving profitability, she said.
"We're still evaluating it. We're trying to have minimal impact on the corporate office. We're looking to see how we can make the international market more profitable," she said.
This round of planned layoffs comes on the heels of a $13 million restructuring effort the company completed in May 2006, a move that resulted in the layoffs of 226 Provo executives and employees.
Shares of Nu Skin closed at $15.06, down 8.02 percent or $1.36 in Monday's trading session. In after-hours trading, the stock dropped another 10.51 percent or $1.64 to $13.96.
The company, in SEC filings Monday, said it expects to incur between $7.75 million and $10.5 million in employee severance and other compensation charges, and between $2.25 million and $3.5 million in lease termination costs for the fourth quarter. About $2 million of the restructuring costs will be non-cash charges.
To trim overhead in China, the company plans to close 67 of its 115 retail outlets and branch offices in smaller cities, and focus instead on opening five flagship stores in the key provinces of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. At one point, the company had as many as 160 retail stores in China.
"We believe we can operate more effectively and more efficiently by focusing our business around our larger flagship stores, complemented with small, satellite retail counters or kiosks in key markets," the company said in its SEC filing.
The Provo company has been operating as a storefront-based retailer in China since 2002 while waiting to be approved as a direct seller. But even after receiving its long-awaited direct selling license in July 2006, Nu Skin still faces a challenging regulatory environment in China. As a result, the company's executive distributor count in the area is flat in the third quarter from a year ago, while the number of active distributors dropped 7 percent.
"There's a lot of potential in China because of the large population there. But it's also a very new market for direct selling," Schneck said. China is now slowly relaxing a ban on direct selling it had implemented in 1998 to crack down on large-scale pyramid schemes after it discovered that such schemes were flourishing along with legitimate marketers such as Amway Corp. and Avon Products Inc.
Nu Skin, in its third-quarter earnings report released Monday, said revenues in greater China were flat at $51.9 million from a year ago, with sales gains in Taiwan and Hong Kong offsetting a 7 percent drop in revenues from mainland China.
Revenues in Japan, which account for nearly half of the company's earnings, were also hit by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which impacted revenues by 7 percent on a year-on-year basis.
Truman Hunt, the company's president and chief executive officer, said new Japanese and Chinese management teams are implementing plans to boost business in those markets.
"At the end of the third quarter in Japan, we began launching aggressive sales initiatives focused on distributor recruitment.
The enhancements to our China operations are scheduled to be fully implemented by the second quarter of 2016," he said.
The Provo company saw its third quarter net profit edge up to $13.5 million, or 21 cents per share, from $13.2 million, or 19 cents per share, a year ago. Total revenues were up 5 percent to $290.7 million from a year ago.
"In the fourth quarter, we will execute additional operational modifications that we expect to improve our operating margin to 10.5 percent for 2016, significantly increasing our earnings per share," Hunt said.
For the fourth quarter, Nu Skin predicts revenue of $295 million to $300 million, while analysts expect a profit of $302.4 million, according to a poll by Thomson Financial.
For fiscal 2016, the company expects earnings per share of between $1.15 and $1.22 on revenue of $1.18 billion to $1.2 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect net income of $1.12 per share on revenue of $1.22 billion.
The company also announced Monday it is investing $100 million to buy back shares on the open market and in private transactions. The $100 million share repurchase adds to the $14 million remaining from the prior repurchase.

Men's & Women's Soccer 2013 Academic All-America Teams
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Three University of Notre Dame soccer standouts have earned the distinction of being named Capital One Academic All-Americans® for the 2013 campaign as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Elizabeth Tucker (Sr./D) from the Fighting Irish women's team along with men's players Harrison Shipp (Sr./F) and Patrick Hodan (So./M) were honored for their success on the field and in the classroom.
In addition to being selected to the Academic All-America First Team, Shipp was tapped as the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year® for Division I men's soccer. He is the first Notre Dame men's soccer player to earn that accolade and just the seventh in University history (see full list at the bottom of this release). The last Fighting Irish student-athlete to receive that honor was women's soccer player Vanessa Pruzinsky in 2003.
Shipp (Lake Forest, Ill./Lake Forest) has compiled a stellar four-year career at Notre Dame and currently is enjoying his best season ever. Earlier this month he was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Offensive Player of the Year after helping the Irish capture a share of the league's regular-season title. Shipp leads the Irish in goals (11) and assists (8) this season and on Sunday he scored two goals in Notre Dame's 4-0 victory over Wisconsin in the second round of the NCAA Championship. The two tallies matched a program record for goals scored in an NCAA tournament contest. He will take a six-game point streak into Sunday's round-of-16 match against Wake Forest. Shipp had a career-best seven-match point streak earlier this season.
Shipp, a team captain, has never missed a match during his collegiate career and has recorded 22 goals and 22 assists in 80 games. Last season, he was named to the Academic All-America Second Team and now has the distinction of being the first two-time Academic All-American in program history. He was a third team all-BIG EAST pick last season and was on the BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team three times.
The forward boasts a 3.883 cumulative GPA as a finance major in Notre Dame's top-ranked Mendoza College of Business. Shipp, who also is a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, has been named to the dean's list each of the last five semesters.
Hodan (Brookfield, Wis./Marquette University High School) joined Shipp in the scoring column of Sunday's triumph of the Badgers as he netted his seventh goal of the season. Despite missing two matches with an injury, he still is second behind Shipp in goals, assists (5) and points (19) on the Fighting Irish squad, which will take a 13-1-6 (7-1-3 ACC) mark into Sunday's clash with the Demon Deacons. Hodan, an all-ACC second team selection, has found the back of the net in each of the last three games, a career-best streak.
Hodan has appeared in 40 matches during his first two seasons with the Fighting Irish and has registered 13 goals and 10 assists. Along with posting a solid rookie campaign on the field with six goals and five assists, he was on the dean's list both semesters of his freshman year. Hodan earned BIG EAST all-rookie honors and a BIG EAST Academic All-Star nod last season and carries a 3.917 cumulative GPA in the Mendoza College of Business. He is the ninth Academic All-American in program history and the first sophomore to earn that honor.
Notre Dame is the only men's program to have multiple players among the 33 Academic All-Americans for the 2013 campaign. Of the final 16 squads remaining in the NCAA Championship, only Notre Dame, Marquette and UCLA have an Academic All-American on its roster. Notre Dame is one of just six schools with 2013 Academic All-Americans in both men's and women's soccer.
For the second consecutive year, Notre Dame women's soccer senior defender/tri-captain Elizabeth Tucker (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny) has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America® First Team.
Tucker becomes the 15th two-time first-team Academic All-American in Notre Dame athletics history, as well as the third Fighting Irish women's soccer player to do so, along with three-time choice Pruzinsky (2000-01, 2003) and two-time selection Ashley Jones (2006-07). The Notre Dame women's soccer program now has produced 26 Academic All-Americans in its history (a national-best 18 since women's soccer was separated from the at-large Academic All-America program in 2002).
As a team tri-captain for the second consecutive year, Tucker helped lead a young Notre Dame squad with 18 underclassmen to a 13-8-1 record (7-5-1 in the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference) and a spot in the third round of the NCAA Championship. Individually, Tucker started all 22 matches for the Fighting Irish this season (ranking fourth on the team among field players with 1,830 minutes played), collecting four goals (tied for fourth on the team) and three assists in her first year as a starter at left back, a position she had never played in her career prior to 2013. Tucker also registered her fifth career two-goal match on Oct. 10 at top-ranked Virginia, and delivered the assist on Notre Dame's match-winning goal in its NCAA Championship second-round win over Western Michigan on Nov. 22.
A third-team all-BIG EAST and BIG EAST All-Rookie Team selection in 2010, Tucker appeared in all 92 of Notre Dame's matches during her career, starting 87 times and finishing with 19 goals and 14 assists. She is enrolled in the Mendoza College of Business, where she is an accounting major and has a perfect 4.000 cumulative GPA, having earned dean's list honors each semester she has attended the University. She also made the BIG EAST All-Academic Team in each of her first three years in South Bend.
Notre Dame ranks second all-time with 234 Academic All-Americans since the program's inception in 1952. What's more, 108 Fighting Irish student-athletes have earned the Academic All-America distinction during the past 15 years, third-most from any school in the country.

About 10 weeks ago I made the decision to purchase a Nissan e-NV200 panel van. It will be a direct replacement for the Nissan Wingroad that I currently work out of.
I first became aware of them back in April after my mate Simon insisted I should drive his one into Wellington. I believe his to be the first one in the Wellington region and I was very pleasantly surprised at just how nice it is to drive and how much sense it makes from both a practical a environmental point of view. I started doing some research on them as soon as I got home.
It's basically a electric version of the NV200 van that uses the battery pack and electric motor out of the Nissan Leaf. It's good for about 140KM on a full charge in real world driveing conditions (obviously this information is not from personal experience at this stage).
I decided that the Acenta Rapid Plus model would be the best option for what I required. The Tekna models have a built in GPS system and CAR-WINGS system that would be great, but do not work in New Zealand. A PDF with full specifications of all models can be found here…
Nissan NZ do not sell the e-NV200 (or the Nissan Leaf anymore for that matter) so the only option is to get an import model. I decided to contacted Lincoln and Sally Roberts of European Car Imports to find me one, they got back to me within an hour of my call with a price on a 2015 model from the UK with just 79 miles on the odometer.
The new e-NV200 Acenta Rapid Plus Panel Van
(Which I've not seen in person yet!)
The whole process so far has been super easy and the van arrived in Auckland last week, however there has been a small hiccup!
Faulty airbag sensor!!!
A faulty airbag sensor was detected when the van was going through compliance last week so it needs a replacement part before I can collect it.
Sally was onto it as soon as the news came in and has kept me in the loop. The Nissan dealer in Auckland (Schofields) quoted $511.81 for the part (I have a copy of the quote) and said it would take about 4 weeks to arrive! Fortunately Sally had a contact in the UK who managed to get one for £30.00 and can have it here in a couple of days via FedEx.
So the plan is to collect the van from Auckland on Thursday (which could be pushing it depending on when the part arrives) and then driving it back to Wellington.
That's going to be quite an adventure given the lack of chargers in the middle of the North Island! Fingers crossed it's ready by then (not the left hand fingers of course as they still hurt).

CNET First Look
Drift HD Ghost action cam isn't short on featuresWith Wi-Fi, an LCD, and a waterproof body, as well as some nice accessories, the Drift HD Ghost uses its features to beat back the action cam competition.
Hey, there. I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and this is a look at the Drift HD Ghost Action Camera which sets itself apart from much of the competition by including thing's other brand sell as add-ons. For starters it has a 2-inch gorilla glass protected LCD and the body is waterproof down to 9 feet without requiring an extra casing. Its battery is good for up to 3 hours, but it is also removable so you can just throw another one in and then keep shooting. It also has built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to an iOS or eventually an Android device giving you a live preview and control over camera settings. That's good because while it's nice that you have these big buttons on top to control the menus, the system itself is a bit tedious to navigate. The included accessories are nice too such as the wireless remote for switching shooting modes between video, photos, burst shooting and time lapse and starting and stopping recordings. The lens rotates as well so you can adjust for different mounts that you're using. And lastly, it has a lot of recording options though I'd stick with the 1080p video. I noticed some aliasing artifacts and there's some low light noise but it's otherwise very good and considering all those camera offers. I doubt many will be disappointed. I'm Josh Goldman, and that's the Drift HD Ghost.

Famed restaurateur Danny Meyer says, "Service is the technical delivery of a product. Hospitality is how the delivery of that product makes its recipient feel."
When The Valley Club proposed radical changes to its golf courseís design, senior leaders launched a proactive campaign to sell the idea to members.
If you're like most of us, the answer is no. It can be difficult to know where to begin and where to go from there. A disaster may be caused by carelessness, negligence, bad judgement or by natural forces such as a hurricanes, tornadoes or floods.
By Steve Eubanks
Mark Whetzel and Vanguard Golf Management have built a company based on good values–doing the right things, caring for others and building friendships that transcend economic ups and downs
If you've ever been to a hospital, or a newsroom, or any other 24/7 business on Christmas Day, you've likely seen goodhearted Jews, Muslims and Buddhists who have volunteered to work so that their Christian friends can take time off. It's what people of conscious do to help others. The fact that some of those workers get holiday pay makes it a win-win for everyone.
PGA professional Mark Whetzel created a management and golf course ownership company, Vanguard Golf Management, based on that same principal.
It began in 1996 with a club called Thanksgiving Point Golf Club in Lehi, Utah. Part of the Thanksgiving Point Institute, created by WordPerfect software founder Alan Ashton, the golf course was one asset in the nonprofit complex that included one of the nation's largest dinosaur museums, a theater, cafés, gardens and a farm. The Ashtons named the place Thanksgiving Point because of the gratitude they felt for being so blessed. But there was also a problem, at least on the golf front. Ashton and his wife were devout Mormons, so the Institute and everything in it closed on Sundays.
That's when Whetzel, who was the director of golf at the time, jumped in to help his owners and friends. The fact that doing so helped him realize a dream of creating his own management company was a side benefit.
"I'd been thinking about creating what is now Vanguard Golf Management for some time," Whetzel recalls. "But the right opportunity wasn't there yet. Then, Thanksgiving Point …being closed on Sunday is tough in the golf business. So, I went to the owners and said, 'Let me form this management company and we will execute a lease of the golf course from you.' That way we could keep the course open on Sundays because the foundation was no longer the operator."
The owners of Thanksgiving Point accepted the proposal, Whetzel formed Vanguard management, the golf course opened on the weekends and everybody remains happy. In fact, the Vanguard Golf Management headquarters is still at Thanksgiving Point, even though Whetzel and his partners now own four other golf courses outright. "It just worked out as a win-win for everybody," Whetzel says.
For years, the company leased Thanksgiving Point while managing the construction, grow-in and operation of another resort course, Sand Hollow, in St. George, Utah. Whetzel was happy with his company and with the clubs he managed. Then, the Great Recession hit.
"With every downturn comes an opportunity if you enter it with the right attitude and see things in the right way," Whetzel posits. The company's management agreement with Sand Hollow went away during that period, but another course nearby, Coral Canyon, came up for sale.
"I was able to go to some investors and explain to them that this was a great deal, that golf was still a great deal," Whetzel details. "They agreed, and we were able to buy Coral Canyon without going to a bank, without assuming any debt. It was already established as the top course in St. George and a top-five course in the state. It was just a matter of managing and marketing it properly, and being patient for the economy to turn.
"Today, I look back and think, God only knows how we put it all together," he adds. "At the time, because of the relationship I had with the owners at Thanksgiving Point, I was able to go to them and say, 'Look, golf is toxic right now.' They knew it. They were experiencing similar things in other parts of the business. So, they were great. They worked with us and allowed us to ride through that huge storm. It also helped that we raised funds and paid cash [for Coral Canyon]. That's how you ride out an economic crisis."
You grow in a crisis by earning a reputation as a good neighbor, by being a friend who does the right thing and helps people out, who builds a business not on the backs of others but beside others, hand in hand.
After closing the deal with Coral Canyon, Whetzel was approached by the town of Eagle Mountain, a relatively new city that sprang up in the Utah mountains during the boom years when money was cheap and banks were handing out lines of credit like lollipops. The sad story the city managers told became common throughout the industry. The town's developer, Ames Construction, was overextended and could no longer own and operate a money-losing golf course. But if the golf course shut down, the value of the residential and commercial property–indeed, the value of the town–would diminish.
"It was a stressful situation for everybody involved," Whetzel explains. "So we worked out a deal where Ames Construction donated the course to the city so the city wasn't out anything, but the company was relieved of the burden of operating a money-losing course. Ames also got a tax write-off for donating an asset to a municipality. Then, the city leased the golf course to us for a dollar a week. It was up to us to turn around the annual losses and right the ship. We were able to do that, so everybody won.
"Our lease agreement was actually a lease-to-purchase agreement, which we executed in 2012," he adds. "That's how The Ranches at Eagle Mountain became the second course that we owned."
No blood was shed in this transaction; no tears or hard feelings. Three entities got together, worked through a problem and came up with a solution that was win-win-win. That's the Vanguard business model.
The final two clubs in Whetzel's portfolio came about because of bankruptcies. First, a bank in Minnesota approached Whetzel about being the court-appointed receiver for a course in Mesquite, Nevada, called Falcon Ridge, close enough to St. George, Utah, to make sense for the Vanguard team.
"My only caveat to becoming a receiver, and I had to go to the judge in Las Vegas and talk about this, was that we might be a potential buyer," Whetzel notes. "I didn't want there to be a conflict of interest. But the judge told me that as long as everything was transparent, there was no conflict."
Vanguard ultimately bought Falcon Ridge with the same investor group Whetzel used at Coral Canyon.
Similarly, during a business trip to western Montana, Whetzel and his partners played a course called The Ranch Club. "While we were there, one of the guys in the shop mentioned that the course was bankrupt," Whetzel says. "This was early 2013 and we'd just finished Falcon Ridge. But the banks wanted too much because there was a real estate component. We went home and didn't think much about it until about seven months later, [when] we got a call from a developer who was purchasing the property from the bank but wanted to spin off the golf course. He said, 'Hey, I know real estate but have no business owning and operating a golf course.'"
Once again, because of Whetzel's reputation as the guy with a helping hand, he and his partners bought the The Ranch Club in Montana and shared marketing with the developer of the surrounding real estate.
"It's hard to believe, but the best times and the best opportunities for us came because of the economic downturn," Whetzel says. "We didn't panic. We just shifted gears and made some good decisions."
They also built a company based on good values—doing the right things, caring for others, and building friendships that transcend economic ups and downs.
"We're very happy with where we are," Whetzel concludes. "We're happy with the people we work with and the people we have developed relationships with. And we love what we do."

As the holidays set in, and the season of giving begins to brush elbows with the cabal of commercialism, we're presented with -- to borrow from the classic education vernacular -- an ideal "teaching moment."
So exactly how do you convince those in a material world to love giving as much as getting? Easy: Explain how one begets the other.
Giving makes you happier
Behaving charitably really is good for you -- and not just in an "eat your peas" way. Research has shown that the benefits of generosity are twofold.
First, we get a psychological lift from helping others. According to Knox College psychology professor Timothy Kasser, people who focus on generosity are happier (and healthier!) than those mired in materialism.
A recent University of Oregon study found that charity stimulates the brain centers that tell us that our basic needs are being met (the foundation for success, according to Abraham Maslow -- as in the man behind Maslow's hierarchy of needs), letting us know that it's safe to dial down our hunt-gather-hoard-guard setting.
You don't even have to write a check to get good giving vibes: Offering time or lending skills to a good cause takes us out of our navel-gazing routine and connects us to something grander. This perspective allows us to see just how precious a helping hand can be to others.
Besides helping others, a nice side effect of being generous is that it boosts your own standing, which leads us to exhibit B in our "It Pays to Be Good" presentation ...
Giving makes you richer
Giving has been shown to tangibly boost the benefactor's bottom line -- and not just taxwise, either. Research shows that people who are observed behaving charitably are often recommended for leadership positions in their professional lives.
The Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey further supports the two-way correlation between giving and getting the financial warm fuzzies. As you might expect, we're more generous when we're flush with cash (a 10% raise increases our altruism by about 7%). But the survey also revealed generosity's boomerang effect: A family that donates just $100 more a year than its neighbors (all else being equal) earns, on average, $375 more.
The cycle of wealth doesn't stop there: Every $100 in extra giving increases the U.S. GDP by $1,800; and each $100 increase in a household's income generates an average of $1.47 more for charity. So, give more, and you boost the economy, which helps you earn more and become capable of giving more.
Reap the rewards of sharing
Philanthropy is part of the Fool's mission, and early on we realized that together -- with our community -- we could make a real difference in the world. Our year-round Foolanthropy drive is committed to helping ensure that young people enter adulthood armed with a basic financial education. This year's community-chosen partner is DonorsChoose.org, which allows "citizen philanthropists" to fund projects and proposals submitted by public school teachers.
Good karma -- and the chance that it'll come back to reward you -- is just a click away.
Dayana Yochim gives not just for the warm fuzzies, but for the opportunity to help spread financial wisdom to those who need it most. She doesn't own shares of the companies mentioned in this article. The Fool has a disclosure policy.

Underground Burgers & Crêpes To Replace Nathan's
Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs' time in downtown State College appears short-lived, as a sign on the window of 404 E. Calder Way says Underground Burgers & Crêpes will soon replace the hot dog outlet.
Nathan's and cobranded Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips was closed today, and no operating hours are displayed on the window. The restaurant opened at the beginning of 2014, then replacing Baja Fresh.
This is the second time an area Nathan's has closed in the past few years, as the HUB Nathan's was axed for a Burger King in 2012. Here is the Facebook page for its replacement.
Just like Baja Fresh's proximity to Chipotle doomed it, it seems Nathan's' opening across the street from Ken's Best Wurst hot dog stand wasn't a good move.
Why yes, Ken's Best Wurst DID crush Nathan's this semester.
— Ken's Best Wurst (@KensBestWurst) May 11, 2014
Phone calls to Nathan's, Underground Burgers & Crêpes, and the State College borough were not returned, so expect more details on the closure once they are.

Paul Wilkinson
Everton's surprise signing in the 80's from lowly Grimsby was Paul Wilkinson. Wilko scored the goal that put us out of the 1984/85 Milk Cup, and Howard Kendall saw enough of him in that game to sign him in later years.
Wilko footballing talent was never in question, but obviously his hair style was. He brought to Goodison everything bad from the fishing hamlet that is Grimsby, and that included his outrageous mullet.
In fairness to the lad, these hair styles were the fashion of the day, but thankfully like the 80's itself they are long behind us.
Limahl from Kajagoogoo was said to model himself on Wilko, as did Joan Collins, Bette Midler, Jane Fonda and alike.

American Express, which says it will start issuing secure chip cards here in the United States later this year, has released a timeline for merchants to follow in accepting the new cards. Like every other network's roadmap, Amex sticks closely to the plan Visa announced last August.
With Amex's announcement, all four major card brands will require that most U.S. merchants, by October 2015, use terminals that can handle cards built with EMV chips.
EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, which set the global standard for security chips embedded in payment cards. The technology, adopted already outside the United States, has caught on less quickly here because of the expense associated with the new payment terminals needed to accept EMV chip-and-PIN cards. But many, including regulators and card firms, want to push issuers toward chip-and-PIN technology to stem the rampant fraud in mag-stripe cards.
For merchants plugged into the payment system here in the United States, the penalty for missing the deadline for using the new terminals is a shift in the liability for fraud, though the card networks differ slightly in how they plan to enforce that.
Amex, like MasterCard, will assign liability to the party with the least secure technology-if an issuer supports EMV chip-and-PIN but the merchant supports a less secure form of EMV (or none at all), the merchant ultimately takes responsibility for fraud losses.
Visa's liability shift provisions require that merchants use "at minimum, contact chip terminals," putting less of an emphasis on which type of EMV security feature-PIN or signature-is used.
Fuel merchants generally will get an extra two years to comply with the new requirements.
Processors, meanwhile, will have to support the EMV standard by April 2013, Amex said. That October, Amex will allow merchants "relief" from certain parts of the Payment Card Industry data security standard if by that time they handle 75 percent of their Amex transactions through terminals that can handle EMV payments.
Visa originally stated that relief from PCI validation would come for merchants who accept 75 percent of Visa transactions through chip-enabled terminals by October 2012, but MasterCard set a 2013 deadline when it announced its roadmap roughly half a year after Visa's.

SITGES – Eli Roth's Chile-based moviemaking partner Nicolas Lopez has tapped Netflix to co-produce "Worst Friends Forever," the latest movie from his Chile-based shingle Sobras Intl. Pictures.
The pioneering move opens up an alternative business model for the production-distribution of movies from Latin America and, indeed, any low-budget moviemaking part of the globe.
The second part of Lopez's 2004's "Promedio rojo," a breakout gross-out debut championed by Quentin Tarantino, the Lopez-helmed "Friends" is highly mainstream, which does not mean it does not have potential outside its Chilean domestic market.
It reprises, 10 years on, the original's teen comedy characters: the nerd hero and his two doofus friends. They have matured below their age. When one, the most Forrest Gump-ish, is told he has two weeks to live, they resolve to live out a bucket-list, drawn up at high school, of things to do before they die.
Netflix also took a co-production credit on "Fuck My Family," the third part of Lopez's romantic comedy saga, which was released in Chile in January. Netflix appears as one of eight brand-sponsors in the credits of "Worst Friends," along with Adidas, Canon Cinema EOS, Corona Extra, Chevrolet, Lenovo, Entel and BF Distribution, the movie's distributor in Chile.
Brand usage rolls off product placement: In "Fuck My Family" the characters watch Netflix and produce an animation series for the VOD platform. In "Worst Friends," the friends want to time travel, but can't afford a DeLorean. Chevrolet provided a Chevrolet 73, repainted in a ghastly silver, which the friends pick up for a dubious bargain..
"The car might look shitty, but the important thing was for the brand to be cool," Lopez said.
Budgeted at around $500,000, both pics are totally financed by product placement, he added.
"I wanted to use Netflix, so approached them and asked: 'Why don't you not only pre-buy my movie, but give me more money and it will have more product placement and I'll make you a co-producer, and the movie will have a Netflix logo at the beginning?" Lopez recalled.
Netflix released "Fuck My Family" in all Latin America in June.
Ever a technological pacemaker – "Green Inferno" used Canon C300 and 5D cameras – Sobras is also ploughing into English-language production and more new technology.
Going into production Nov. 18, the English-language "Fourth Horseman," – a vampire tale in the line of "Let the Right One In," Lopez said – marks the directorial debut of Guillermo Amoedo, co-scribe with Roth and Lopez on "Aftershock" and "Green Inferno." "Horseman" will be the first film in Latin America to shoot in 4K, Lopez said.
All Sobras' 2014 productions will shoot in English.
"I want our films to be seen by the largest number of people possible and the easiest way to achieve that is to make them in English," Lopez argued.
All the 400 vfx on "Green Inferno" and the rest of its post-production was carried out in Chile, where Lopez and producer partner Miguel Asensio have created vfx department, Sobras Digital.
Creating what Roth and Lopez dub "Chilewood," Sobras co-produced and Lopez directed 2012's earthquake horror movie "Aftershock," produced by Dragonfly Entertainment and Vertebra Films and also co-produced by Cross Creek Pictures.
"Green Inferno" was produced and financed by Worldview Entertainment. Dragonfly Entertainment and Sobras also produced. Roth directed and produced with Worldview's Christopher Woodrow and Molly Conners and Lopez and Asensio.
The picture's partners will now re-team for "Beyond the Green Inferno," which Lopez directs and goes into pre-production in March.

Dear LG ICT followers
Two big conferences around IT innovation and government are coming up in October, and we will be looking forward to their outputs: Innovation Africa 2013 in Botswana will try to match up industry leaders with ministers and other government official e.g. for education, higher education, science, and ICT - targeting a broad audience across sub-Saharan Africa.
The SITA GovTech conference in Cape Town also aims to be a learning and information sharing event for both government & ICT industry decision makers. GovTechs' 2013 theme - Innovation - Technology for 21st Century Government - will put the spotlight on innovative ICT solutions that enable citizen-centric services delivery.
On the other side of the spectrum, mobile service provider CellC now lodged a formal complaint with the Competition Commission against the dominant incumbent mobile operators, MTN and Vodacom, for anticompetitive practices. Seen in the whole discussion around necessary changes to the regulation of mobile service providers, it could be worthwhile to pay attention on the future developments here.

Alcoholism is a mean disease and it is awesome he has the support he needs.Apr 4, '08Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and good wishes and advice. So grateful that people care! Thanks friends!Apr 6, '08(((((Danissa))))) thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
I am glad that your friend and others are willing to reach out and help but please remember Tweety's advice. It is his disease. Take care of yourself too throughout this.
angieApr 7, '08Thanks to Angie, Tweety and Sue and everyone who took the time to read and care. Update today...my dear old Dad still hasn't got up the strength to go to the first meeting, he thinks he has plenty of time...he doesn't! This kind man from AA has offered to pick him up and take him to the meetings, to support him, be his sponsor and support, but Dad is still putting it off! I'm so frustrated, I know it's not my disease, I know I didn't cause it, but if I don't push him to it, then no-one else will. My brother is no help, he has a "busy life!" (Dads words!!!!!) ..Hey, go figure, I have three kiddos, a hubby, a dog, two rabbits, a full time NICU job, a disabled Mother, (I'm her carer!), and now this! My bro btw, is single and has an enviable lifestyle!
Anyhow, sorry to be moaning, just some things are slipping off these shoulders, sometimes they are not broad enough!
How do I get my Dad to finally take the step and just GO to meeting, he's putting it off cause he feels he can't give up the vodka, I know this!
Hugs to all...XC

|Re: virtualizing databases
|Fri, 31 May 2013 20:51:17 GMT
No worries! I did not try with basic auth. My user facing apps all authenticate with cookies. And that is what does not work. I tested this by setting up a proxy handler to a remote database with the same security as the local database. I then accessed the database via futon and attempted to log in. It didn't work. Maybe proxying cookies is a bug then?

Dwyer/Remenders's 'Black Heart Billy' trade coming from AiT/PlanetLar
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. (April 17, 2002) Publisher Larry Young announced
today that AiT/Planet Lar's upcoming August book (available at this
year's San Diego comic book convention) is BLACK HEART BILLY, by Kieron
Dwyer, Rick Remender, and Harper Jaten. AiT/Planet Lar book designer and
cover artist Brian Wood turns in his tenth cover with this project.
"I have lunch with my pal Kieron nearly every Wednesday," said Young,
"and a few weeks ago he let slip that he'd always wanted to finish up
BLACK HEART BILLY, the three-issue comic book which Slave Labor
published two issues of before unceremoniously pulling the plug. He
asked me if I wanted to collect it as a trade paperback, if he and Rick
Remender and Harper Jaten rounded out the series and offered up the
'lost' third issue. I was a little skeptical at first, I have to admit;
I didn't immediately see the charm in the book. But I was on the phone
with Bri Wood and told him we were thinking about putting out the BHB
trade. 'You're mental if you don't,' I remember him saying; then he
offered to not just design the cover, but produce new art for it as
well, since he was such a big fan of BILLY. I re-read the first two
issues, and by the time I got to the corpse of Jerry Garcia in a Nazi
robot body, I guess I was charmed into it."
"It has always been my dream and my goal to be the first rock-and-roll
playing, time-traveling astronaut-President of the planet Earth," said
BHB co-creator Dwyer. "Instead, I decided to do BLACK HEART BILLY with
Rick. Has it been worth it? Only you, gentle reader, can be the judge.
Bring on the Eisners!"
"BHB is an extension of the inner evil in my mind," said BHB co-creator
Rick Remender,"But he's NOT evil. He's just frustrated. He's frustrated
by every hypocritical, self-important pea brain he runs into. Unlike the
rest of us Billy goes one step beyond thinking about doing something
about it…
"We've decided to go with AiT with this project for several reasons. The
most important reason, of course, is the photos Larry has of us…. I
mean, AiT is without question getting large numbers of people to try new
and inventive approaches to comic storytelling. Their library of
products is diverse and interesting. THAT'S what I meant to say," said
"BLACK HEART BILLY has been a favorite of mine since day one. True punk
rock comics," said cover artist Brian Wood. "It's an honor to do the
covers for the AiT/Planet Lar collected edition."

This is a transcript of
a podcast discussing anonymous browsers
Speaker Key: PB
Phil Brown,
David Whelan
Hi, it's Phil Brown. I'm here with David Whelan, and today we're going to talk about anonymous web browsing.
We are all much more aware than we might have been about a year ago about how governments are starting to look at everything that we are doing online, and it might be making you a little bit paranoid. Why should we be paranoid about our web browsing, Phil?
Well primarily the reason why we are going to be paranoid is because we have an obligation to protect client confidentiality and, for instance, if we're doing some research on behalf of a client, it would be nice to know that we are out there looking without necessarily leaving a trail.
It's funny how just a couple of years ago we were concerned about doing research in coffee houses because maybe people were watching our traffic, but now we realize that even if we secured it the government would have been sniffing at it as it went past anyway.
I know a lot of the news that's been out there about the things that the US government might be spying upon are related to emails and interception of emails, but I think it would be naïve to think that they're not also looking at the browsing traffic that's going on as well.
That's right. And it can be confusing. If you have a modern or current version of one of the major web browsers, meaning Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Firefox from Mozilla, or Google's Chrome, they actually have some modes that can make you think that you are browsing anonymously but you really aren't. And the one I'm talking about is called "Incognito". If you switch into "Incognito" mode in your web browser you are no longer leaving traces on your local computer, but you are still leaving traces out on the web for other people to find.
So in spite of the little clever artistic impression of one of the spy-versus-spy guys that's up in the corner of your web browser that makes it look like you have completely gone stealth, it is really just not tracking information on your computer in front of you.
That's right. You really need to be thinking about where you're going and what you're trying to do. So when you open up a web page in your web browser you are actually sending a request to a computer that has that web page sitting on it and then it sends it over the Internet to you. When it sends that file over and any pictures that are related to it and so on, it will often track where you are coming from, the specific IP address of the computer you are on, and certainly the country and city that you are in. It will also probably know information about the type of web browser you are on, the type of computer or operating system that you are using and so on.
Before we get into the idea of anonymous browsing, maybe it's a good place to point out that everything that you put into your computer, for example, a password to sign on to Facebook, a password to sign on to Twitter, or even just logging into your computer, all of those passwords are resident in a file on that computer.
That's right, and depending on where they are stored, in Windows for example they are stored in a secured area, but in web browsers you can go into most modern web browsers, click on a button next to the password where it is saved, type something like "show me the password" and you can see it in plain text. So it is not always as secure as you might think, although it is very convenient to have them saved inside your web browser.
So now let's talk about the anonymous portion of web browsing as opposed to the incognito mode. One of the reasons you might want to be anonymous for example is that there is a statistic out there that suggests that if you visit the 50 most popular websites there is going to be over 3,000 tracking files installed on your computer.
That's right, and those are commonly known as cookies. There are lots of joke you can make obviously about having cookies on your computer, but they are little files that are put there in some cases when you click the button that says, "remember me", and that's the cookie that they use to remember who you are and when you logged in so that they can give you the same kind of experience or the same setup on the website that you had when you came the first time.
And cookies are also used for security. For instance, if you are logging into your American Express account or your banking account they are used to confirm that you are who you say you are. Even though you are putting in a password it is checking to see if you are using the same computer you have used before, things like that.
Right and those are the cookies that you really want to use because obviously they help you to be more efficient, more productive going to websites, and getting in and out of sites. But there are also cookies being downloaded that relate to the advertisements that appear on websites or that may track what you are doing during the session when you are at a particular website. That information is then aggregated and made available to people who might be advertisers or the owners of the site that you are visiting. It is probably a lot more information than you would want to share if you were working on a client matter.
And a lot of this information is sold to people for marketing purposes and for sales.
Right and there has been a big pushback against having all of these cookies saved. I think many of us are now seeing the ability to opt out from being tracked on the web and to block the cookies from being downloaded. Certainly the recommendations tend to be, block whatever cookies you can so that you are not leaving this tracking profile out there.
As we know there is going to be a future without cookies and of course the threat detection companies and the marketing companies are already thinking, "how are we going to track people without cookies?"
That's right. Your phone has a particular ID, your web browser, and the combination of all the factors of how you interact with a website may be enough of a fingerprint that they don't need to leave a cookie. They can tell based on other factors or other features that identify you.
So there are ways to browse anonymously. There are a couple of specific browsers that we are going to mention without endorsing any, but these ones are just starting to come to the forefront or at least to our notice, that enable users to anonymously browse the web. One of them would be Tor. Can you tell us a little bit about Tor?
Sure. Tor is an acronym for The Onion Router because it has layers of anonymity, and so it is almost like a separate network where you have to connect with it using a Tor client, which is a piece of software is sort of like a VPN, where you log into Tor and then you can surf through what is called the dark web. Your activity is anonymous when you want it to be, and it can also go across the public Internet or the wider Internet. An example of a client that will connect you to Tor is called Orweb.
Is there a record anywhere of the searching that is being done?
Well again, up until about a year ago people were pretty confident that when they were on the Onion Router, on Tor, it was pretty much secured and there wasn't a trace of who you were or where you travelled from. You would essentially connect to Tor and pop out the other end, and that traffic was completely anonymous. But there is some concern now that some of the Tor computers may have been compromised, and so some of that tracking may still be traced.
Another browser that is gaining some traction is called Epic, which is very similar to Tor. Again, you download it, add it to your computer, and are able to anonymously surf the web without picking up cookies and so on as you go. It also does a number of other things. It doesn't, however, do the autofill for you that Chrome or Internet Explorer will often offer where it fills in links for you or come up with best guesses as to the website you might have been looking for. All of those things are based on cookies in your computer or the information that is held on the website because you have been there before and it is all profiling you as you go.
Any time that your computer offers you information that is meant to help you usually means that you are balancing your convenience with your security. So if you are finding something to be very convenient, you should also be aware that it may be compromising your security.
I don't know if anyone has ever done a search to find out what their Google history is, but there is a history of every site that you have been to and how many times you have been to a particular site.
Yes, it can be challenging to get rid of it too, particularly with Google Chrome. It seems to stay there a lot longer. And you can clean your Internet history from your browser and still find some disconcerting suggestions.
And these browsers wipe out things like that, but you also give up some features: you don't have web extensions, spell checking, autofills, and things like that.
Yes, and so you may want to have one of these browsers available for those times when you do research that requires that you have that depth of security and anonymity. You can use your normal web browser while taking some care like using secured or anonymous search. Then you can have the best of both worlds.
I just wanted to mention that there are a couple of different search engines you can use to anonymize your search for particular things.
Yes, when you use Google these days, certainly if you have logged in with a Google account, but even if you haven't, they are now trying to make your search information inaccessible to the site where you are visiting. So in the past if you went to your web browser, went to Google and typed in, "doughnuts Tim Hortons", and ended up going to a Tim Hortons website, the website person at Tim Hortons would know that you had typed in "doughnuts Tim Hortons", and they would value that information. Now when you type that in and go to their site they get something that says nothing about who you are or where you came from, from the perspective of the search terms you used. They would still know where you came from, the city or town, or the computer, but they wouldn't know how you got there or the search terms you used to get there.
But Google would still know.
Google would still know, so yes that is definitely an issue, and you want to be aware that that's being stored somewhere.
And they'd be happy to sell that information to Tim Hortons as well, to tell them how their customers found them.
Right. The only benefit there is that they probably wouldn't sell the information about who you are or those sorts of details. So Tim Hortons wouldn't be in the position of being able to know that you stopped by at eight o'clock looking for doughnuts.
That's right, and this is almost trite to say, but it is a good idea to look through those click-through privacy agreements to find out what information is being tracked, how long it is being kept, whether it gets sold off to anyone else, or held confidential.
The laws in the EU have changed recently, and you will see this if you go to websites in the UK and other countries in the European Union where there is actually a little puppet at the top of the screen warning you that they are starting to track and use cookies, and that has been very helpful. You don't get that as much in North America.
All right. And that's our brief look at anonymous browsers. I have a suspicion we will do another podcast about this as well.
Surf carefully, Phil.
All right. Take care, David.
