Anodot relies on AI to detect real time data anomalies that might otherwise go unnoticed. With its ability to detect data irregularities as they happen, we implement it as a tool to empower our clients to react faster to either solve problems or, even better, exploit new opportunities.
The importance of anomaly detection
When something changes in the data stream, it often indicates a business disturbance. Real-time alerts are necessary to prevent negative impact on customer satisfaction/trust, revenue and most importantly your brand.
There are millions of data permutations, but only so much you can see on any given dashboard. Unsupervised anomaly detection can throw light on business blindspots, and generate real alerts for real issues.
'The price of light is less than the cost of darkness" – Arthur Nielsen
Anomaly examples:
An anomaly can also be premeditated. A boost in marketing spend for example, or the launch of a new and improved model. An increase in sales above the regular pattern could be an anomaly indicating that a new campaign is making a positive impact on sales. In this instance, anomaly detection can be used to measure the effectiveness of a new business initiative and help you better manage your resources.
In many real-life scenarios, business anomalies often require immediate action. If something has gone wrong with your ecommerce site on Singles' Day, you need to fix it immediately, otherwise sales will be lost for every second an issue remains unsolved. Or if sales start to spike because Selena Gomez mentioned your brand on Instagram, you are going to want to know about it as soon as it happens so you can start converting likes and shares into sales.
You don't know what you don't know until you know it.
How Anodot works
Anodot offers automated anomaly detection that can detect real-time anomalies at large scale. It has the capability to handle millions of data points, and updates every second. It is powered by patented machine learning algorithms using the latest in AI research.
Anodot's business incident detection solution automatically learns your streaming data's normal behaviour, even seasonal or other complex patterns, and then alerts on any metric or combination of metrics that behave abnormally. This gives you the tools you need to detect and diagnose issues early, resolve them quickly, and take preemptive actions.
The advanced, robust algorithms can handle any number of data variables, intelligently correlating related alerts to avoid alert storms and enable faster root cause analysis. Anomalies correlated across multiple data sources tell a clear story of what is happening with the data, which can then either be investigated by human experts, or used as triggers for automated business actions.
By identifying the root cause of a problem you can immediately zero in on the issue. The end result is a powerful analytics solution based on AI, which enables us to help our clients react faster to solve problems or, even better, capitalise on new opportunities.

SEATTLE (CBS.MW) - Monet Mobile Networks said Wednesday its launch of wireless broadband Internet service in the Midwest is the start of what would be the nation's first wireless service. It utilizes technology developed by Qualcomm, and is already in use in Korea. Monet's coverage area includes Duluth, Minn. and Grand Forks, N.D. The company plans to offer flat-rate plans for consumers ($39.95/month) and business ($59.95/month).
T-Mobile USA Inc. DT, +8.98% said it is extending its wireless broadband Internet services beyond Starbucks SBUX, +0.45% and Borders BGP, +0.56% stores to include as many as 100 more airline clubs during the next year. T-Mobile said its HotSpot service would be available in clubs and lounges operated by American Airlines AMR, +3.30%, Delta Airlines DAL, +0.57% and United Airlines UAL, +1.88%. T-Mobile offers a national flat-rate access plan for $49.99/month.
Expansion of the market for wireless Internet service is dependent on pricing, according to Becky Diercks, a director of In-Stat/MDR, a high tech research firm. "In most regions, service pricing is completely inconsistent and far too expensive for the average consumer," she said. In-Stat/MDR does expect the wireless Internet market to grow from 74 million subscribers at the end of last year to more than 320 million by the end of 2006. The majority of the usage is expected to be for messaging rather than wireless Internet access.
Sniper coverage boosts news Web sites
MSNBC.com and CNN.com saw traffic to their sites increase last week due to coverage of the Washington, DC sniper. CNN.com visitors increased by seven percent, according to researcher Nielsen/NetRatings NTRT. CNBC.com said traffic to its site ballooned to nearly 8 million people a day, double the usual rate, according to Media Life. "Oh, yes, the stories being hit were mostly sniper stories," said MSNBC.com spokesman Peter Dorogoff. By comparison, while the cable news channels also saw spikes in viewers, their numbers paled compared to the Web sites'. For instance MSNBC averaged 109,000 viewers for the. Week.
Federal court considers Web porn law
Federal appeals court judges in Richmond, Va. Heard arguments this week about a Virginia state law restricting sexual material on the Internet. The law prohibits a "file or message ... harmful to juveniles." People for the American Way challenged enforcement of the provision, added in 1999, last year. A U.S. District Judge said it violated the First Amendment. In a hearing this week, a three-judge Appeals panel asked attorneys what they thought was the proper and lawful role of the state in protecting children online, according to Cnet.
Movielink covers multimedia bases
The online movie rental service, Movielink, will use technology from both Microsoft MSFT, +1.47% and RealNetworks RNWK, -1.23% to distribute programming. In separate news releases, Movielink announced agreements to use Windows Media and RealOne Player technology and digital rights management tools. Movielink, LLC is the IP-based movie rental service formed as a joint venture among Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios MGM, +2.44%, Paramount Pictures VIA, +2.16%, Sony Pictures Entertainment SNE, +0.15% Universal and Warner Bros.

Six Weeks Before
The following information is intended to prepare you for surgery so you know exactly what to expect along the way. Please be sure to review it carefully and call us if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to help!
Quit smoking
You MUST BE nicotine free for at least the six weeks leading up to surgery. In addition to tobacco, the use of nicotine patches or gum is not permitted in these six weeks. Smoking greatly increases the risk you will experience complications or procedure failure. We may ask that your blood nicotine levels be checked prior to your surgery.
If you require a stop-smoking aid, we recommend you speak to your doctor about using Zyban to assist you.
Special Bra and Undergarment Requirements
You will need to purchase special undergarments before your surgery that provide support to your new breast(s) and donor site(s). Support garments help relieve suture tension and aid in reducing swelling and pain. They also support tissue growth and adherence, so you heal as quickly as possible.
All patients will need a comfortable sport style, front-closing cotton bra without any underwire. Patients having surgery involving abdominal tissue (the DIEP or SEIA procedures) will also need an abdominal binder. Patients having surgery involving tissue from their thigh or buttock (the TUG, SGAP and IGAP procedures) will need either a compression girdle or a tight pair of spandex compression shorts.
Your clinic nurse will help you determine the best garments for your body type and will tell you where you can purchase them.

Jeff Griffith is currently the Vice President of the Aviation Group for The Washington
Consulting Group, Inc. He is responsible for programs in system development for air
traffic control and airspace management solutions. This includes development of
operational concepts, system architecture, procedures and training, as well as evaluation
of operational systems.
He retired from the Federal Aviation Administration in January, 2003. His last position
was Deputy Director of Air Traffic (2001 - 2003). He was responsible for the day-to-day
operation of the National Airspace System, managing a workforce of more than 24,000
people with an operations budget of $3.4 billion. He provided leadership for thirteen
senior executive direct reports to insure a team approach to customer service and a
positive approach in working with other government agencies.
From 1996-2001, he was Program Director for Air Traffic Planning and Procedures,
Operations, Airspace Management. He was responsible for development, transition and
operation of new air traffic control technology and procedures into the U.S. National
Airspace System.
From 1980-1996, Griffith served in various field and regional management positions with
increasing levels of responsibility. All assignments were in high density air traffic
operational environments. Prior to that, Griffith served as an air traffic controller and
supervisor in several air traffic control facilities with various levels of complexity
including Atlanta, Tower/Approach Control.
From 1966-1970, Griffith served as an air traffic controller for the U.S. Air Force at
Moody Air Force Base, Georgia and Phu Cat Air Base, Republic of Vietnam.
Event: Jeff Griffith, Former FAA Assistant Director of Air Traffic Control
Type: Interview
Team: 8
Participants (Commission): Lisa Sullivan, Miles Kara, John Farmer, Dana Hyde, and
John Azzarello
Griffith spent 36 years in the FAA. He retired from the FAA in November 2002.
Currently, he is consulting on air traffic management in foreign countries including China
and Columbia. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1966 and was trained as air traffic
controller. He spent a year in Vietnam. In January of 1970 he was discharged and went
to the FAA as controller. He as stationed in Georgia; then in 1976 he went into
management; in 1990, he became the manager at Indianapolis Center; he managed
Chicago O'Hare for several years; he went to Great Lakes Region; in 1999 or 2000, he
was selected as deputy director of air traffic (AT-2) - that was his position on 9-11.
The operations budget was 3.5 billion dollars to operate all the ATC facilities on day to
day basis (500 plus). The director of Air Traffic (his boss) was Bill Peacock. Peter
Challen was the associate; then Steve Brown; then Monte Belger; then Jane Garvey.
15 people reported directly to Griffith including nine regional division managers and a
couple of staff people.
On a day to day basis, he reviewed the previous day's operations. They experienced on
average ten break downs and problems in the system. He also received daily briefings
from the Command Center on delays and congestion, runway incursions-anything that
affected safety.
The FAA had issued a paper a decision document to decommission them. However
many there were they are very expensive to maintain. Some were 30 to 40 years old ASR
1 and 2 radar systems. The quality wasn't that great.
On top of the radar dish is a secondary radar. It is getting similar information as the
primary radar. Secondary radar does not pick up "skin paint;" it takes all the
data/electronically transmitted information on the aircrafts. The secondary radar is much
cheaper for this reason. The decision was made the primary radar was no longer needed
in some environments.
Primary was needed in the terminal environment - a range of 60 miles from the airport -
there are about 200 of them. The likelihood of a collision below 20,000 feet was greater
that vicinity.
Griffith thought eliminating primary radar outside of the terminal environment would not
compromise safety.
The actual decommissioning of ASR 1 and 2 models was to be enacted by turning off the
hi-voltage at selected sites. The decommissioning of the models meant that the supply
parts and personnel required to maintain the systems could be sent elsewhere. It wasn't a
phase out - secondary radar would still be at the sites. The date of decommission had not
been set as of September 11.
NTSB had issues with the FAA's plan. "The NTSB was obsessed with notion that an
aircraft without transponder would collide with a plane full of people." A plane as a
weapon, or a purposeful turning off of the transponder, was not thought of; it was only a
mechanical malfunction they were concerned about.
In the last 15 years, Griffith doesn't recall an aircraft losing transponder capability above
15,000 feet. If radar capability is lost, the controller's response is to protect the route
from point to point and the altitude. It was very typical to lose radio for a period of time.
The loss of transponder was "unusual, but it happened". When it occurred, it was never
for an extended period of time.
If an aircraft lost a transponder for the duration of a transcontinental flight, that would be
very unusual and it would be reported up to HDQTs. Each facility keeps a log daily that
is reported up to Command Center.
A Joint Military and Civilian Group looked at the uses of the common operating facility
and was led by General Eberhardt from the military side and Jim Washington from FAA
side (Director of Requirements). There were a lot of people working on that.
The military wanted a 3-D display and a one-second update rate on the newest radar they
invested in. Griffith's opinion is that the FAA didn't need that level of definition to
separate airplanes. "You don't want to put this in operational environment because of the
servicing issues." He wasn't on the team that was discussing these issues with the
military (through the Joint Military and Civilian Group).
We had coverage charts we know all the gaps. Mountainous terrain causes loss of
primary and secondary radar. In the eastern US there were some gaps, including PA.
Griffith thought that gaps in radar coverage were commonly known information, and he
felt certain that the controller in the geographic region would have received training at the
center on any gaps in coverage that existed.
Regional offices maintain the coverage charts. The idea was to provide the information
to the facility in non-technical format. We didn't want them interpreting the information
at the centers themselves.
The controller was trained to separate everything in front of that aircraft. The aircraft has
always continued to a destination or a planned route of flight. That was the scenario they
trained for. If the controller knew a lost target was in the system, the controller would
look ahead. Meanwhile, the plane turned around and went the other way.
The AAL 77 controller did not see anything to the front or to the right of the track after
the hijacker turned the transponder off. There was no primary radar coverage, so he was
unable to see it. Griffith doesn't know that to be true.
Every gap should be memorialized and made clear to the controller. He recalls a general
knowledge that some of these planes were not seen on primary radar, but he cannot
Controllers were not trained - there was no training for radar environment with both
primary and secondary radars in use.
The controllers are able to track it at both ZBW (Boston Center) and ZNY (New York
The controllers in Indy working AAL 77 had the same equipment as ZBW and ZNY. He
knows how the system works.
It is difficult for Griffith to accept that the controller in Indy Center that handled AAL 77
could not "see" the primary target.
When there is a crash in the system, Griffith will learn about it within a few minutes. The
notification process is very disciplined. Text pagers were with them at all times. The
page was sent to many, including Bill Peacock and him. It was their job to get all the
information and begin briefing the Administrator.
Peacock, Challen, Brown and he were a team to work issues together. The data for
reconstructing the accident would be sent to the evaluations department. A team was
usually put together to go to the site in support of NTSB. It was standard procedure to
review the equipment, the tapes, interviews of controllers in order to root out causes and
mistakes that might gave lead to the crash.
Hijack-people would convene in the WOC. FBI has the lead so they would be
immediately brought on board. Keep airplanes out of the way. Bring it to some sort of
Notification capability included DOD. In his group, senior mil officers were at the
building and they reported to him. If a plan was in the works that involved the military, it
was done at a high level through the people in the WOC.
The FAA was set up to support the military. A series of agreements about different
commands set up protocol and put processes and procedures in place for joint use of the
air space.
I |was a military liaison stationed at the FAA. She reported to him and Bill
/ Peacock. People that reserved air space for military exercises were at a lower level. It
would be brought to her attention only if there was a problem.
/ Military liaisons for the FAA were also located at Tyndall, Griffiths, NEADs, SEADs
/ West Air Defense Sector, Cheyenne Mtn - they were required to report back to FAA.
WOC (Washington Operations Center) people asked about getting DOD on the line. The
/ person in charge was Eberhardt at Cheyenne Mtn. Belger or the Administrator would
; have had to call him and give the coordinates and the status of the hijacking in progress.
He would order the fighters to launch. It was a high level decision. That is the way it
FAA supervisors and managers followed rule "7210.3" on hijackings. "7110.65" is the
hijack protocol for controllers.
In the event of a hijacking, all the centers call the regional operations center. The region
sets up a bridge and tells the Washington Operations Center. They also call the local FBI
and local law enforcement and the airport manager. Centers notified the Command
Center in Herndon, VA.
On 9-11
He was in the office on the tenth floor. Peacock was away. The first thing he recalls is
Dave Canoles on the phone saying "we had an aircraft that hit the World Trade Center."
Not long after that, he showed up in the office (he was the manager of evaluation staff).
The assumption was it was as small aircraft. They were pulling the tapes, etc. He can't
remember a lot of detail after that.
He turned the TV in the office to CNN. He saw that people were saying it was an
airliner. He headed down the hall a few minutes later. He went into the ACC room
(Aviation Crisis Center).
He was next to Lee Longmire and he had the Command Center on the phone. He started
the dialogue: "what do we know what are we doing?"
Lee was setting up the SVTs and pulling the security people together. The White House
wanted information.
When he walked in the Crisis Center he was still hearing "crash," not "hijack". It may
have been after the second one hit the tower that he went into the room.
Early into this, he was primarily with Belger and Jane Garvey.
He doesn't remember anything about a page or receiving notification in the staff meeting
about a transponder being turned off (this was in Shirley Miller's statement). He
distinctly remembers being in his office when he first learned about it.
He remembers telling Canoles to set up a situation line before leaving his office for the
Aviation Crisis Center: "Get people together collecting data". He knew a lot of people
would want to know what happened. He wanted Canoles to get EVERYBODY on the
line. In his mind, that was going to be his vehicle for getting information. It ended up,
he sent runners down to the ACC to get updates.

,--V,\ , He does not know.
, Who should have they been calling? Who should the region have talked to at the WOC?
He does not remember when he first heard a plane was hijacked. First, he learned an
aircraft hit the trade center. Then, he learned it was a commercial aircraft. Then, the
\d aircraft, hit. At this time, he goes to ACC and talks to John White on the phone at
the Command Center. "We were getting ready to get on the SVTs to brief up the chain of

was giving information. The Justice Department, FBI, the Administrator were on the
SVTs. He doesn't remember when or for how long the White House was on the SVTs.
Griffiths was on there quite a bit.
The group up there in the corner (Lee Longmire and Lynn Osmus primarily) was the
source of his information that he relayed on the SVTs.
Delta 1989
He was writing all the planes reported suspicious on his pad. He reported on the SVTs
about the Delta potential hijacking. That was before we figured out it was not a problem.
Griffith doesn't remembeJ {announcing to the aviation crisis center that AAL
11 was still airborne and heading to DC. He doesn't recall the particular piece of
The purpose of Canoles setting up the telcon from the ATC Suite was to get information
out to the AT Division managers and the 500s (that is the regional level). That was
important to him. He ended up with the centers and some of the tracons on there and that
was really to get the system back up.
9/11 W o r k i n g - l e v e l Employee
\ After the two crashes, he needed to know what was out there, so he had John White from
Command Center stay on the phone and told him not to hang up.
He recalled that the White House wanted to know what the situation was at the time.
John White told him the call signs, point of arrival and departures, times, etc. He wrote it
down and went in to the SVTs it was already video and speaking to them.
He was on there for 5, 10, 7 minutes. Periodically he went in and briefed. It wasn't this
continuous thing. It wasn't up the whole time.
Yes. That conversation came up later in the day outside the SVTs.
\ didn't think he reported on AAL 77 to the SVTs. We had determined by this time
\t the trade centers were hit by UAL 175 and AAL 11. The moderator of the SVTS
was "squished." DOD was on there - the JCs were on - he didn't recognize them at the
I |told Griffith about AAL 77 around 9:30 a.m.. That was the first knowledge
he had of it.
Commission staff told Griffith that the real-time count down of AAL 77 plowing in to the
Pentagon was reported on Canoles telcon. The call was actually serving as a center for
There was a fast-mover 30 miles west of Dulles moving east bound - he did not know it
was AAL 77 at the time. Griffith said he got the information on flight 77. He recalls that
he had this information and he shared it with the people in the ACC. He doesn't know
where the information came from. He recalls that there is a requirement at Washington
National Airport to report all unusual aircraft situations to Secret Service. Someone told
him we did contact the Secret Service, so he was satisfied. [Miles Kara thought that the
report: "Fast mover west of Dulles 30 miles out" may have been reported earlier than
9:30, and could have been in reference to UAL 93. Dan Diggins thought it was UAL 93.]
Then Griffith heard about the C-130 reporting the crash at the Pentagon, so he associated
the fast mover with the Pentagon hit.
9/11 W o r k i n g - l e v e l Employee
There was confusion for hours about which plane hit the Pentagon. He had no report it
. was AAL 77 that went.into the Pentagon. His list of missing planes at that time included
AAL 11 and UAL 175 and Delta, Continental...
Griffiths thought the Secretary of Defense was the one that should have decided to shoot
down an airplane. This conversation was taking place in a corner of the ACC. It was a
discussion about authority. In his mind, there were fighters in the air and they were
responding to the situation and there wasn't anything specific about shooting down UAL
93. Part of that idea of defending themselves was shutting down the system.
Griffith thought it was not his place to give the shoot down order.
The military liaisons in the building were doing things. He knows that because he saw
them. He never directed them to do anything. He told| | the military liaison
whatever information he had. He does not recall seeking her out to convey any
information. He knew that she was reporting back to her people at the Pentagon.
"Shooting down an airplane requires Rules of Engagement," Griffith said. They didn't
exist at that point. His main concern: Civilian controllers did not know how to vector
fighters to intercept a plane.
If they are talking about shooting down aircrafts in a civil system, then the fighters were
talking to the centers and they were in and they were talking to NORAD as well.
He doesn't remember at what time, but he called General Eberhardt to tell him they were
"shutting this thing down." Griffith thought that at the time he placed the call, they didn't
have a strong link with the military at this point.
Griffith said that his "focal point" was General Larry Arnold from CONR for 24-hours a
day, for a couple of days after that.
He did not notify the military about UAL 93. NEADS knew what was going on at this
point. His assumption is that the reps at Griffiths AFB/NEADS (Steve Culbertson)
would be talking to Cleveland Center. He thinks this because he knows that Culbertson
is up there doing their job. On any other day of the week, if NEADS sees something and
they decide to scramble; then it's Culbertson's job to coordinate with FAA.
9/11 Working-level Employee
^_ Griffith did not do anything to ensure that UAL 93 information was given to anyone. He
.. does not remember who pulled him away to talk about UAL 93 (as noted in an FAA
transcript of a recording from that day). He thinks that| [broadcast this report to the
room and other people were aware of the hijacking of UAL 93.
On AAL 11, the Boston Center reached out directly to military assets. 6-8 minutes
before the crash. \n UAL 175, there is hot a realization at ZBW that it is hijacked until 10 minutes before
On AAL 77, ZDC reports to NEADS that it is lost a few minutes before the crash.
On UAL 93, ZOB told NEADS roughly 4-5 minutes before the crash that UAL 93 was
hijacked "bomb on board." But otherwise, ZOB told the Region at 9:39 AM. As early as
9:34 AM, the Command Center had the information about "bomb on board" and so did
Griffith does not disagree with this assessment. The procedures should have allowed for
military notification. If you go back to the other three aircrafts and apply the written
procedures, then if people hadn't taken their own initiative, similar things would have
happened with those aircraft as did with UAL 93.
Are we to assume that HDQTs thought the Center was contacting the military? The
Centers didn't have a procedure to contact the military.
He does not recall being on the Air Threat Conference Call that day.
It was an assumption of his that the military was in the loop; he was satisfied tha
was broadcasting information that all the people.
The primary net should have included the NMCC. The Air Threat Conference call,
conversely, should have had FAA on it.
Were you aware that either of those nets was ineffective on 9-11?
The FAA positions at NEADS and SEADS were both vacant before 9-11. Dan
Schmeckel at NORAD was retiring, Griffith felt they were important positions to
maintain, so went outside his orders to put the guys out there.

cuts, the position was eliminated.] berformed the role of military liaison
at ZBW and he did a good job that day. Usually, controllers at the centers have the MOS
responsibilities as an additional duty within the TMU.
He does not remember seeing John Flaherty that day (Secretary Mineta's Chief of Staff).
He did not interact with him.
He does not know if the Administrator or the Deputy Administrator was made aware of
UAL 93 before it crashed.
Jane Garvey and Monte Belger looked to both him and the security people for
information that day.
His focus was the operational element so it was frustrating to him to find out other
information was shared through other avenues.
Post9-H After-Action
"It was like pulling teeth" to get information after 9-11. The Centers weren't cooperative.
Tony Ferrente worked night and day for weeks to pull the information together. Finally,
they got it together to the point they could brief the FBI and the Secret Service. Dick
Clark was present at the meeting, as were DOD people.
He went to a briefing at the White House about a week later associated with protecting
the national capital region. Primarily, it was a Secret Service briefing. FAA had a part.
Mike Canavan briefed on security issues, and Griffith briefed on ATC issues. They were
concerned about a plane taking off from Washington National on runway 3-6 and hitting
the White House. They briefed on the exercise missile sights ready to shoot down
airplanes around DC.
9/11 W o r k i n g - l e v e l Employee
j|. Dave Canoles briefed Griffith on the "9-11 Hijackings Summary of Events". He got tons
of briefings - different iterations of it. There were also internal meetings at the FAA on
what the FAA knew and when; and what did they do with the information.
"Larry Arnold (CONR) made sure we got whatever we needed," Griffith said. He gave
,, , Arnold whatever they wanted.
Griffith remembers that General Arnold, also an Alaskan General, and General Eberhardt
, , received shoot down authority. ROEs were communicated to the FAA as well.
He is hot aware of the White House asking to be briefed on military and FAA
communications from 9-11.
General Wayne Downing had meetings by S VTs with the FAA and the White House.

"summary on 9-11" that differs from one of the original NEADS logs with Griffiths.
Azzarello pointed out the unlikelihood that one of the NEADS logs lists the tail number
of the first hijacked planes. Griffith affirmed that having a plane by tail number is odd,
so soon after the event.
Griffith doesn't know what happened tol |s after-action work. She put
the report together. It was a topic o.f hotHebate among FAA employees. He knew people

Azzarello pointed out to Griffiths that notification times for the other flights are listed as
unknown, according to the log. Griffiths assured staff that the military got the
information; he said he is confident about that.
Larry and he had a lot of heated conversations. "Larry and I agreed we wanted the truth
on the issue.'r|~" from CONR also coordinated with FAA.
The DOD testimony to Congress was wrong. Griffith confirmed this. He and Larry
Arnold did not talk in great detail about the times. They talked about the bosses fighting
over head. The DEN addressed these concerns.
Griffith didn't have any information on the FAA press release that addressed the issue of
notifications to the military on 9-11. They probably asked him about it. It is a timeline of
FAA events on 9-11.

I think the name of this little girl is Alma, she was dancing and singing and jumping around at our gardens a week ago and I finally got her to pose for a few photos. If you click on the photo and zoom in on her face and hair you will see that I used colored pencils to add the finishing touches to her hair and face. This is because the 300# rough watercolor paper began to look mottled and bruised after a dozen or so glazes. I will paint the next portraits on 140# paper as suggested by Paul McCormack.
There are a couple more details that I want to work on with this portrait, but it's nearly there. I did take a few photos in the early stages, but I can't find the photos in my enormous Picasa files....if I do, I will share them later.
I am going to try repainting the portrait of my neice Keira soon, since I feel I will be able to do a much better job now that I understand more about how to mix colors for skin, especially the delicate skin of children. Keira has the very fair skin of a redhead and the most gorgeous ice blue eyes so the nuances will have to be subtle!

Happy Wednesday! Our intern, Andersen, is sharing her take on Pantone's 2016 Colors of the Year! Find Rose Quartz and Serenity inspiration below as well as some tips for choosing your own wedding colors!
It's officially wedding season and after creating your perfect Pinterest wedding board, you start to see a color trend. This year's trend is not just one color, but two! The colors are what most people would call pale pink, the experts are calling it Rose Quartz and its partner color Serenity, a pale blue. Used alone or together, these two colors reflect a sense of elegance and peace.
Whether you are using these colors for your bridesmaid's dresses, bouquet or the newest sensation; the flower crown, these colors are not hard to come by. Check out this stunning bouquet by our very own Megan Willis, owner of Celebrate Colorfully! It combines a variety of color, but includes the two colors of the year!
These two Pantone 2016 colors, have also been noted by a famous jewelry designer, Kendra Scott, and a line was made specially for Rose Quartz and Serenity. Many brides and their "bride tribes" have taken these colors to the next level and are wearing them as their accessories.
When choosing your wedding colors, make sure they reflect you and your partner as a couple. Whether it be Rose Quartz and Serenity or not, choosing the colors should be a fun and exciting part of the planning process! Thanks for checking in on this week's blog, and as always, "Celebrate Colorfully!"

A semi-submersible floating platform for transporting special material decommissioned by the Russian Navy has been delivered to the shipyard in Muggiano, in La Spezia, Italy. The platform - Itarus - was built by Fincantieri for RosRAO, the Russian Federal State Unitary Enterprise for radioactive waste management.
The contract to build Itarus was signed by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, RosRAO and Fincantieri in November 2013 during the Italy-Russia Business Forum, held in Trieste. It followed the 2003 cooperation agreement between the Russian and Italian government for the decommissioning of nuclear submarines and the safe management of radioactive waste and nuclear fuel. That agreement was defined within the framework of the Global Partnership, started in the 2002 G8 summit in Canada.
At just over 79 metres long, about 29 metres wide and with a deadweight capacity of 3000 tonnes, Itarus was built in the Integrated Shipyard of Riva Trigoso and Muggiano with the support of the facility of Palermo. Its construction was supervised by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.
Announcing the delivery of Itarus on 3 March, Fincantieri said the platform will be used for the transportation of nuclear submarine reactor compartments, decommissioned by the Russian Navy, from the storage area of Sayda Bay to the Nerpa Shipyard - and vice-versa - facing the Kola Peninsula in the Barents Sea.
The vessel's maximum draught is 24.5 metres, achievable during the cargo docking, by means of 45 ballast tanks for a total capacity of 25,000 cubic meters of ballast water, fed by four pumps of 2000 cubic meters per hour capacity, Fincantieri said. The vessel will be equipped with living areas, to host a crew of six members on board.
According to a statement from RosRAO on 17 February, the training of Russian crew had been completed at the Fincantieri shipyard, and plans would follow on towing the vessel from Italy to Russia.

Bettendorf's transit system (BT) plays an important role in the overall transit network in the Quad Cities. In the area as a whole, BT links to the Davenport (Citibus) and Rock Island (MetroLink) systems, City of Bettendorf proper transit is a means to manage congestion on busy thoroughfares and offers service beneficial to employers/employees, businesses, casual travelers, students, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and those in economically disadvantaged situations.
BT's BEGINNINGS:
In 1969 and 1970, the Davenport City Transit Authority and the Rock Island County Metropolitan Mass Transit District (RICMMTD) were formed, respectively. Between the years 1960 and 1970, Bettendorf's own population had more than doubled, from 10,534 to 22,126; in response to the needs of its rapidly growing population, Bettendorf contracted with Davenport in 1974 to provide one bus route between the cities. A year later, the city discontinued this service contract with Davenport and initiated a demand-response transit operation of its own.
The City of Bettendorf was recognized and honored in June of 2006 for having the most improved urban transit system of the year in Iowa for 2005, and was presented with an award by the Dept. of Transportation's Office of Public Transit. This prestigious award is based on a combination of ridership increases and a decrease in the cost per ride during the 2005 fiscal year.
BT currently consists of 3 fixed routes and a fleet which was significantly upgraded in 2017. The fleet consists of 5 twenty-one passenger vehicles, and are all lift-equipped for wheelchair accessibility. All buses are also equipped with bicycle racks which can accommodate 2 bicycles up to 75 lbs. total weight.
BT's service area covers a major portion of the City of Bettendorf, providing access to a variety of schools, shopping centers, hospitals/medical centers, local businesses, park/recreational areas, the library, museum, and various visitor "must see" attractions. Although service hours vary slightly by individual route (see "Schedules & Routes), general system operation hours are 6 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on Saturday. There is no service on Sunday or major holidays.
General fixed route fare is $1.00, with special $.50 fares available for Seniors (citizens over age 60), local college students, persons with disabilities, and ParaTransit services. Bettendorf Transit is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): all buses are ADA accessible, and an ADA paratransit service (Dial-a-bus) is provided by the City of Bettendorf under contract through River Bend Transit. This is a demand-response service which offers accessible transportation to those unable to access fixed route service (more than 2 blocks from any fixed route), and is in full compliance with ADA guidelines.
BT connects with both CitiBus and MetroLINK, and offers the monthly QC PassPORT in coordination with those two systems. Transfers to CitiBus may be made at the meeting point location at Burlington Coat Factory/Lincoln Road and at Northridge Mall. Connection with MetroLINK may be made at the transfer point at Centre Station, downtown Moline.

Daughter dear, you can run, but you can't hide. You may have killed me, you may have inflicted the ultimate revenge on me for my so-called cold, cold heart.
But you know nothing of my life. You have no idea that I fought tooth and nail to keep you, that I escaped from the unwed mothers' home that I was sent to. I knew that I would never be able to keep you, so I ran. I ran, taking you with me, changed my name and started our lives anew.
You ungrateful child. I built my fortune on hard work, and hard work alone. I created a legacy for you. And then I heard you complaining to your scientist friends about me. And then I realised that you hated me, that you would stop at nothing to break free.
So, go ahead child. Break free. See how you survive with no home, no liberty, no mother to care for you.
I trusted nobody. But I forgot not to trust you.

Larry Fitzmorris: Unaffordable Evergreen Contracts – Please Contact the Governor
The end of the June brought the usual confusion and back room dealing in the General Assembly's closing days, but an important bill was passed without any real public discussion. That bill is H5593 Sub A, which makes all city and town labor contracts valid until a new contract is ratified by the union and the local government. This damages the Council and School Committee's negotiating position substantially and will, without question, drive up the cost of public labor in cities and towns and, therefore, our property taxes.
I am asking taxpayers and concerned residents around the state to contact the Governor and ask her to veto this legislation.
In the confusion created by the lack of a budget agreement, this bill had been held by the General Assembly since it passed the Senate on June 30. It had passed the House on the previous day. Normally, this sort of bill is sent within a couple of days of passage to the Governor for signature. The bill was transmitted Thursday, July 13. The Governor has six days (not counting Sunday) to sign, or veto the bill. If after the six day period ends (Wednesday) the bill has not been vetoed or signed it becomes law, as long as the General Assembly is still in session. At present, the General Assembly is in recess and not adjourned.
The Governor has indicated that she has problems with this bill, but has made no commitment to veto this legislation.
Please contact Governor Gina Raimondo by one of the following means and urge her to veto this bill:
> Telephone the Office of the Governor at: 401-222-2080
> An on-line email message blank is available at: http://www.governor.ri.gov/contact/
Below is the email message that I sent to the Governor. Please feel free to use it as a guideline in contacting the Governor.
Madam Governor,
I am writing to ask you to veto House bill 5593 Sub A, the legislation that would provide municipal unions perpetual labor contracts. The Portsmouth Council and School Committee already have great difficulty in resisting what is a substantial growth in labor costs. The public employees of Portsmouth already receive annual salary and benefit increases that are much higher than those paid to the taxpayers.
Larry Fitzmorris is President of the taxpayer advocacy group Portsmouth Concerned Citizens.

Booklet Printing has been one of the leading businesses that entrepreneurs are interested investing into nowadays. Why is this so? This is basically because booklets are usually used as promotional handbook of any businesses, manuals, and/or travel guides. Great emphasis is highly given to the latter because these days a lot of people are into traveling. It is for this reason that venturing into such business is greatly feasible and able to cater to different clients for varying purposes. And so to learn more about booklet printing, simply read along.
And so what do one need to start a booklet printing business? The very first thing you have got to have in order to start a booklet printing business, aside from money of course as well as target clients and great attitude, is a software that can automatically present you with a booklet template. By possessing such, it would be easy to incorporate all that needs to be in place such as the designs and the contents of the booklet. And such software may be downloaded and/or bought. Nonetheless, it is important to note that Microsoft offers such feature already.
You also need to have a talent in designing and/or lay-outing so as to come up with designs that will look especially appealing to the public who will be buying or using the booklet. If it is not you then you need to come up with a team of staff to do it for you. Plus, another staff that will be able to carry out the making of the contents of the booklet and such contents should be brief yet it should be able to tell all the pertinent information that the booklet user needs. Lengthy words must be deliberately avoided as space in booklets is usually limited; rather, bullets are highly encouraged to be used.
Furthermore, pictures and details must be highlighted in the booklet, especially in the travel guides so that the user will be guided accordingly. The travel maps may also be made available in booklet form and so it is highly essential that these should be done with so much details and precision. And even with the manuals that are given out to consumers, it should be neat yet attractive all at the same time. This is basically why a team of great minds must be created to make any booklet printing business successful.
As for the printer, you should at least get hold of a printed that should be able to print great colors and of high quality. A simple one will do but there are those printers especially made for booklet printing wherein it allows one to print the back and the front sides altogether. Nonetheless, you need not be bothered if you only got hold of the simpler one because you can still head on with booklet printing by making use of some easy techniques.
All these fun facts and information on the booklet printing and it being a business should give you an idea on how to start one. This may be a small-scale business starting out with as little capital as you can imagine but you may also have it started big for as long as you already have a list of target market to cater to. In any way, such booklet printing business should be worth investing into today.

How to Prevent Retail Employee Theft
BEC Level Four
These days employee theft is a sophisticated operation carried out by savvy criminals who plan their activities meticulously. Therefore, the preventative approached that worked years ago are completely ineffective against the new dishonest employee.
This is the reason a model that explains causality not correlation is the best way of addressing employee theft.
In the theory of employee theft, we argue that employee theft occurs because of opportunity. Remove the opportunity, you prevent employee theft. This training is centred around strategies for removing the opportunity.
We will be asking the question, why does employee theft take place in retail stores? It is only when we understand the root cause of employee theft will we be truly in the position to recommend preventative solutions. The course aim to show you how to redesign the basic architectural infrastructure of your store to create what is described in security lexicon as 'Defensible Space' that makes it difficult for employees to steal.
Delegates Feedback
"My biggest take away from how to make profit in retail is how to create good visual merchandise display. The more attractive a display appears, the more likely it is to attract shoppers. And the more shoppers that enter a retail store the higher the likelihood that they will buy which will result in higher profits. The book also guided me on good design store and loss prevention strategies. I highly recommend it."
– A. V. Etim
"Romeo is a brilliant consultant. From the beginning he asked thought provoking questions and he gained an in depth insight into my business.

They also do ones for flat bars . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROCKBROS-...0defa90&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=371330642156

Designing and producing refined metal furniture in Chicago for the past 19 years, Manifold currently houses a storefront gallery and a manufacturing workshop. The direct connection between the gallery and the workshop reinforces a guiding mission: to overtly preserve the link from the object presented to the process of its crafting.
Marco Chavarry
Marco's work is an exploration in balance and minimalism; he is constantly exploring the relationships of line quality and shape. After years of designing balanced and pleasing spaces, he began to explore creating visual work to compliment and complete those environments. Cultural iconography plays an important role in the work he is creating in this series. Heavily inspired by ancient pre-Columbian art, especially South American ceramics and textiles, Marco is also influenced by geometric abstraction and the minimalist movements of the 1950's and 60's.
Marco Chavarry is a self-taught Peruvian artist living in Chicago. As owner and curator of Alapash New Home, he found a passion for creating beautiful and interesting environments. It was Marco's work in design that led him to begin to explore his talents in visual art.
While the opening reception is on Saturday evening, we will be open all day Saturday and Sunday (September 15 & 16, from 11am – 6pm) during the Ravenswood Art Walk, so don't forget that you can make a whole day of getting exposed to art (and beer, and music)!

Since it's officially Fall, I think it's time to share some of my favorite fall makeup looks I found on the internet. Moreover, I will share some of my favorite products I think are very Fall proof. Are you looking for some Fall Inspired Makeup Looks? Then continue reading!
The inspiration in this blog post is from Pinterest. I love using this app to look for anything! It's my inspiration for makeup looks, clothing, decoration, interior, everything! So since it's officially Fall, I'm searching around to find some super cute fall looks. Here are the looks I really adore!
Orange/brownish looks
I think that the orange/brownish looks are my fave for Fall. I was Always scared to wear orange eyeshadow but once I tried it, it actually made my blue eyes really pop. Since that moment I love using orange and brown eyeshadows. The looks above are something I wish I could create, I love these looks! The first look is something I can create though, I love a subtle look for school and this is something I would go for. The other 2 looks are heavier for a normal school or work day but still so pretty! Moreover, I really like orange and brownish lip colors for Fall as well! Sadly, orange/peachy colors make my teeth look more yellow but I really love these colors though. Brown is actually super nice on the lips, something I love to wear this time!
Burgundy looks
Something I have fallen in love with lately is pinkish and burgundy looks. It just has something romantic and gives a warm feeling, which I really like. I've been experimenting with burgundy looks and it's amazing, I would really recommend trying this if you never did. Warm rose or dark burgundy lips are super stunning as well. I never really wear dark lipstick, to be honest, but I really love it when I see other people wearing it. Moreover, the last picture has a burgundy wing, something I really want to try soon! It looks great on her!
Light/no make-up but dark lips
Even though I think this isn't something I would try myself, I do think this looks super awesome. It's especially for the people who don't really wear (a lot) makeup. If you want to experiment around or just try something new, it's super awesome to try a dark lip. These girls above all look super pretty with a dark lip. This really makes me wanna try a darker lip soon.. I'm not sure if I can pull it off as these girls, but I'll try! However, it looks super awesome and I adore girls who wear dark lips.
Colorful looks
This is something I really really love, but I'm definitely not talented enough to create such gorgeous looks. I really love colorful Fall looks! The purple look is my favorite, I really like purple for Fall. The blue and teal colors are really attracting me as well, so awesome. I'm going to practice a lot and hopefully, I'll ever be able to create such stunning looks. At least I can wear purple lipstick haha. Something that's a little bit out of my comfort zone but which I think is super cute. As I said before, I also really like orangy lipsticks as well.
My favorite Fall products
So I decided to include some of my own personal favorites for Fall. I don't own anything listed down below, but some things I have been eyeing for so long. The products I own and have reviewed are linked, so you can check my reviews to see further details.
- Kylie Cosmetics Ginger & Pumpkin Lip Kits I really like both of them so much! Definitely, two gorgeous Fall shades, which I always wear during the Fall. Ginger has a more brownish undertone, while Pumpkin is orange. Go check them out if you're looking for colors like this!
- Kylie Cosmetics Leo & Hollyberry Lip Kits I don't own one of these, but these are very pretty dark lip colors. Leo is a dark burgundy color, while Hollyberry is a deepened rich raspberry. Kylie Cosmetics has even more dark lip kits with different undertones. I would say, go check these shades out if you're looking for something darker.
- KKW Beauty Nude lipsticks & Peach lipsticks both of these lines have very pretty lipstick shades. They've very nude colors, but also darker colors if you're looking for that. You have a lot of options with KKW Beauty. Go check them out to find your perfect shade!
- Colourpop liquid lipsticks Colourpop has a lot of choices for not much money, so I would really recommend to check them out. I love their Lux Lipsticks, their Matte Liquid Lipsticks, their Ultra Blotted Lipsticks and their Satin lipsticks. All of them have darker shades, peachy shades, brownish shades. So much choice! And to even make it better: they have a buy 2 get 1 free sale right now!! Time to buy every Fall shade you like :).
- ABH Norvina, Soft Glam, and Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palettes I have all three of them and I love them so much. I also think all three can make super awesome Fall looks. You should at least try one of these three palettes! Go check out my reviews and their site if you're enthusiastic!
- KKW Beauty Classic Blossom palette I've reviewed this palette very recently and really loved it. It's really a perfect Fall palette. Check out my review to see swatches and my in-depth opinion.
- Tarte Tartelette Toasted palette I also reviewed this palette recently and it's amazing. It really has some pretty brown and orange colors in it, perfect for creating stunning Fall looks.
- Colourpop eyeshadow palettes I definitely recommend trying Colourpop shadows if you haven't tried these before. Their eyeshadow palettes (and single shadows) are amazing, love the quality and you don't have to break the bank. If you planned on checking out their lippies, please check out their shadows as well. Their Good Sport palette, Yes, Please! palette, She palette and Give It To Me Straight palette screaming Fall and are all under $20!
I hope you liked the Fall inspiration I shared today! Let me know what you're favorite Fall look is in the comments.
Hope to see you next time loves,

Item # SNT006SItem # SNT006S
Solid option for off-road exploration.
The Stan's NoTubes Grail S1 Wheel delivers dependable strength at an affordable price, so you can explore rutted forest service roads and jarring stretches of gravel across the countryside—all while leaving precious loot for future upgrades to your gravel bike. Here at the Competitive offices, we appreciate Stan's gimmick-free approach to creating dependable wheels that support tubeless tires at lower pressures, so you can reap the benefits of greater traction and bump compliance, especially in the realms of gravel riding and cyclocross racing.
Part of Stan's S1 collection of affordably priced wheels, the Grail S1 is a palatable option for the gravel rider and cyclocross racer on a budget seeking increased support for running wider tubeless tires. However, you'll find the caveat comes with a weight penalty of approximately 150 grams over the Grail Comp Wheelset, which sits one rung above the budget-focused Grail S1.
6061 aluminum construction maximizes strength when you're rallying over the rough stuff without weighing you down excessively, which is nice when you're linking back roads over long distances on your next adventure. Stan's BST-R rim design is more versatile than their standard BST design used on mountain bike rims, allowing you to run wider tubeless tires at lower pressures while gravel grinding or ride with traditional road tires at higher pressures on the asphalt. Another nice feature at this price, Stan's Neo hubs provide relatively quick 10-degree engagement with their 4-pawl driver.
- Sturdy wheelset for gravel exploration at affordable price
- 6061 aluminum construction maximizes strength at low cost
- BST-R rim design for low-pressure tubeless and standard road tires
- Wide, low-profile design for precise cornering and fast rolling

Dads serve such a purpose in people's lives. He is the provider, the protector, the mister fix-it, the driver, the one who puts the Christmas lights up and then takes them down, the mover, the mechanic and many more things. But my dad is the one I go to first to share important news I am excited about. He is the one I practice my guitar with and learn from, he is the man in my life I love to cuddle with and sit next to while we watch television. Early morning talks with our coffee, I am a chip off the ole block.
I was thinking today though about Dads. About those who either have a dad but he is not physically there or caring at all, or those out there who are father-less. For my Young Life girls especially, who are father-less or have absent fathers, I keep thinking "who is protecting them?" Why is it that I was blessed with a dad that loves me no matter what wrongs I commit, and will always be there for me when I get a flat tire, or need to move back home?
The role of Dad should not be taken lightly, and I would argue there is no more important role in this world than being a good parent. So I take joy in knowing that every child, every man, every woman in this world has a heavenly Father who created unconditional love and abides by it yesterday, today and forever. My prayer would be that people could come to know the awesome power of running into the arms of a Father who will never leave you nor forsake you. A Father who will always choose you first. A Father who is watching you when you perform at your first dance recital, score your first goal, or become Homecoming Queen. A Jesus who doesn't turn to drugs and alcohol for relief, but finds rest in his Father. Friends, come to know the awesome power of the Grace of God, and come sit at the footstool of a Dad who is so in love with you. Friends, allow yourself to jump into the arms of your Father who created you.
So dad this one's for you. Thank you for loving me even when you didn't have the best example of a dad growing up yourself. Thank you for never missing a soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball game. Thanks for being the coach of my teams, and encouraging me relentlessly. Thank you for accepting me when I didn't want to play basketball in high school. ;)
Thank you for driving to Corvallis that one time I got a flat tire and was crying on the phone. Thank you for teaching me about the love of Jesus Christ. Thank you for loving my mom and treating her special every day you have been together. Thank you for telling me I'm beautiful and giving me self worth so I don't go looking for it in the wrong places. You may not be perfect, but God blessed me with you when he placed me in your arms 22 years ago. He must love me a lot if you are the one protecting me. I love you Dad.
Love and Deuteronomy 1:29-31

How pie well manages your fondant
Slowly the summer passes and you must pay attention not so much on the Bikini figure. This gives us a good occasion to show the seductive delicious cake samples in the today's post.
Many wish to a certain party to have an incredible and unique cake, which is more aesthetically pleasing. Ideally, the cake should be also homemade. If you are brave enough, you can bake the pie, which flavor do you like, and then cover the pie crust with fudge.
A fondant cake looks sometimes like something edible
All you need is:
The finished baked your cake or cakes (standard springform Pan)
Pasta roller / rolling pin
Various forms to the best
Pie cutter
Pizza cutter or fondant cutter
The layer enables the most creative your imagination to give a completely free rein
thematically, refreshing and very personal
The fondant cake is relatively easy to prepare if you keep to a few rules. It is good to know that fondant consists mainly of sugar, which means he may have rather no contact with fruits.
A gift idea, which seems to be not only lovely, but also very tasty
With fondant, you can realize any of your ideas
and be creative in detail and inventive
After the pie crust is cool, turn the cake in the district and ensure that vertical and horizontal sides are really straight. Carefully with a knife, a putty knife or a cutter that correct odd and as usual with jam and butter cream of each generously smear page.
There is the opportunity to roll out fondant or buy ready-made sheets fondant. Of course you can also make fondant, but this is subject of a further article.
Position the blade carefully and without moisture
To be artistically gifted, would be beneficial
To have an idea is a good start
Good quality costs more money and we recommend you not to save and be pretty elastic sheets Fondant to get that gently and evenly pull over the cake. Pull slightly tighter, so the fudge layer is smooth and can provide a secure basis for the actual cake decoration.
It would be smart to make a planning in advance
One may wonder whether this is a cake or a sculpture…
It's too bad to be eaten
The emotion and the memories last a lifetime
Carefully deal with the colors
When a trip around the world
With this cake, you win the heart of a graphic designer
You can calculate the diameter by a simple formula for a round cake. Sum the diameter and twice the amount, the amount of fondant that you ultimately need to your cake. In this way, you avoid a waste of potential.
Be sure take pictures of your artwork
It is otherwise too quickly devoured
Initially start with simpler ideas
Let by a pastry chef make the Begonias prefer
Positive motives increase the experience
Simple and perfect
The decoration can be ordered separately
Consider well before you get started
Arbitrary objects can be shapes from fondant

(4:20 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- J. Crew Group Inc. JCG late Tuesday reported its second-quarter net income fell to $18.1 million, or 28 cents a share, from $20.6 million, or 32 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue increased to $336.3 million from $304.7 million in the same quarter last year, said the clothing apparel maker. Analysts surveyed by FactSet Research had forecast earnings of 33 cents a share, on average, and revenue of $337.7 million. The company forecasted earnings of 28 cents to 33 cents a share in the third quarter. Analysts are projecting the company to report third-quarter earings of 47 cents a share. Meanwhile, J. Crew lowered its earnings outlook for fiscal 2008 to a range of $1.44 to $1.54 a share from the previous view of $1.70 to $1.75 a share, citing a disruption in its direct business and softer store sales.
Credit Suisse ponders Janus upgrade
(11:31 AM ET) NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Credit Suisse is considering upgrading Janus Capital Group's JNS stock from neutral. Analyst Craig Siegenthaler said that investor concerns regarding overweight positions in commodities in Janus funds are overblown, and pointed out that 87% of Janus' fund assets are in funds rated four and five stars by Morningstar. Credit Suisse is lowering earnings per share estimates for Janus in 2008 to $1.34 from $1.36 and in 2009 to $1.70 from $1.85, and forecast third quarter earnings per share of 33 cents, one cent above consensus. Earlier this month, analysts at J.P. Morgan downgraded Janus to underweight from neutral, citing concerns about Janus' funds being overweight in growth, international and commodities. In July, Janus report a 36% rise in second quarter profits to $66.3 million, or 41 cents a share, up from $48.8 million, or 27 cents a share, in 2007.
American Eagle Outfitters earnings per share fall 22%
(8:09 AM ET) NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- American Eagle Outfitters Inc. AEO, -0.38% said Tuesday that second-quarter earnings fell to $59.8 million, or 29 cents a share, from $81.3 million, or 37 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Sales fell to $688.8 million compared to $703.2 million. Analysts polled by FactSet estimated, on average, earnings per share of 28 cents on sales of $711.9 million. Same-store sales were down 6% in August and down 9% for the quarter. The company sees third-quarter earnings per share in a range of 31 cents to 36 cents.
Smithfield Foods swings to 9-cents-a-share loss
(7:27 AM ET) NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Smithfield Foods Inc. SFD, +8.75% said Tuesday that it lost $12.6 million, or 9 cents a share in the first quarter, compared to earnings of $54.6 million, or 41 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Sales were $3.1 billion versus $2.6 billion a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet Research, on average, estimated earnings per share of a penny on sales of $2.91 billion. The current quarter includes a 15-cents-a-share adjustment related to unrealized losses in open commodity derivative contracts and 4 cents a share loss related to asset disposals by Campofrio. Smithfield pointed to corn being diverted to ethanol production and the effect of high prices for feed. "This is a dynamic this industry has never faced. We believe this policy is flawed and needs to be revised if food cost inflation is to be brought under control," said Chief Executive Larry Pope.
Sanderson Farms swings to loss on 18% higher sales
(6:49 AM ET) TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Sanderson Farms Inc., SAFM, -0.06% the Laurel, Miss., chicken and prepared-foods producer, swung to a fiscal third-quarter loss from a year-earlier profit on 18% higher sales. For the quarter ended July 31, the loss was $3.6 million, or 18 cents a share, compared with net income of $30.7 million, or $1.51, in the year-earlier period. Revenue reached $466.9 million from $394.8 million. The latest quarter's share loss reflects a 9-cent payment to settle litigation. A survey of four analysts by FactSet Research produced a consensus estimate of a loss of 5 cents for the quarter. The results reflect relatively strong retail and export demand for chicken, but the company's casual-dining and food-service customers have been hurt as consumers cut back on going to restaurants due to the weak economy and costlier fuel, Chairman and Chief Executive Joe F. Sanderson Jr. said in a statement.
Update: Big Lots 2nd-period net up 11%; lifts outlook
(6:24 AM ET) TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Big Lots Inc., BIG, -3.25% the Columbus, Ohio, closeout retailer, reported fiscal second-quarter net income rose 11% on 1.9% revenue, and it lifted its estimate of earnings from operations for the full year. For the quarter ended Aug. 2, net income reached $26 million, or 32 cents a share, from $23.4 million, or 22 cents, in the year-earlier period. Continuing operations generated 32 cents a share against 21 cents. Revenue rose to $1.11 billion from $1.08 billion. A survey of analysts by FactSet Research produced a consensus estimate of 26 cents of profit for the latest quarter. Same-store sales -- which the company defines as revenue from stores open at least two years at the start of the fiscal year -- rose 2.8% in the period. For fiscal 2009, Big Lots now sees continuing operations generating $1.90 to $2 a share of profit, against an adjusted $1.41 for fiscal 2008. FactSet's survey is looking for $1.84. In late May, when Big Lots reported first-quarter earnings, the company estimated the year's earnings from continuing operations at $1.80 to $1.90. Same-store sales for the year should rise 2%, Big Lots estimated. (Adds specifics of outlook for the year plus FactSet estimate.)
Thornburg Mortgage profit climbs, makes margin calls
(5:50 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Thornburg Mortgage TMA, +0.00% late Monday reported second-quarter earnings rose to $412.3 million, or 84 cents a share, from $83.4 million, or 66 cents a share, as a $537 million gain on a principal participation agreement and additional warrant liability offset a $210 million mortgage-backed securities portfolio impairment. Adjusted income was $22.7 million for the quarter. The company believes that absent further deterioration in the underlying loans, the current carrying value adequately reflects any inherent losses. It paid on Aug. 22 margin calls totaling approximately $219.0 million, "which may be less than the counterparties to the override agreement's interpretation."
CORRECT: Rio Tinto says profit climbed to $6.91B, up 113%
(4:49 AM ET) HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Miner Rio Tinto(AU:RIO) RTP said Tuesday first-half net income more than doubled, helped by strong commodity prices and the earnings contributions from its 2007 takeover of Alcan. Net income climbed to $6.91 billion, from $3.4 billion a year earlier. Underlying earnings jumped 55% to $5.47 billion, from $3.53 billion. The miner proposed an interim dividend of 68 U.S. cents, up 31% from the 52 cents a year earlier. (Corrects to reflect that Rio Tinto bought Alcan.)
Virgin Atlantic posts first-quarter profit of GBP23.5M
(3:30 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Virgin Atlantic, the British carrier controlled by billion Richard Branson, on Tuesday said first-quarter pretax profit came in at 23.5 million pounds ($43.3 million). Sales increased 16% to 645.3 million pounds. Load factor, a measure of how full an airline's planes are, rose to 77% from 74.8% in the year-earlier quarter. Virgin said it had gained passengers from rival British Airways(UK:BA)because of problems with the latter's Terminal 5 at London's Heathrow airport.
Bovis Homes' first-half profit, sales sink
(2:44 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- British homebuilder Bovis Homes Plc(UK:BVS)on Tuesday said first-half net profit fell to 6.89 million pounds, or 5.7 pence a share, from 41.05 million pounds, or 34.1 pence a share, earned in the year-earlier period. Sales declined to 149.3 million pounds from 260 million pounds a year earlier. The company declared an interim dividend of 5 pence a share, which it said was reflective of "challenging market conditions." Bovis said it considers that the current trading environment will continue for the foreseeable future, "with continued poor mortgage liquidity limiting housing market activity." It said it's committed to "competitive" net pricing such it can achieve volume delivery, but concluded that given current sentiment, this is likely to reduce private sales prices and profit margins achievable on incremental reservations over the rest of 2008.
Bunzl's first-half profit, sales rose
(2:33 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- British distribution firm Bunzl Plc(UK:BNZL)on Tuesday said first-half net profit rose 4% to 63.5 million pounds, or 19.8 pence a share, from 60.9 million pounds, or 18.1 pence a share, earned in the year-earlier period. Sales climbed 14% to 1.96 billion pounds, helped by solid organic growth and recent acquisitions. The company lifted its interim dividend by 11% to 6.45 pence a share. Looking ahead Bunzl said it expects organic revenue growth in North America to remain at a similar level to that in 2007 and the first half of 2008. It added that it would benefit from higher positive currency translation effects in the second half of the year due to the recent weakness of the pound.
Temasek says annual net profit doubled to $12.8 billion
(2:05 AM ET) HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Singapore's $130 billion sovereign wealth fund, Temasek Holdings, reported Tuesday full-year profit doubled from the preceding year, owing to disposals of assets that more than offset declines in returns from global equities markets.

The fund made S$32 billion in new investments, more than double the S$16 billion a year earlier. Temasek reported asset sales of S$17 billion, compared to S$5 billion a year earlier.

Terry Bogard is my favorite fighting game character ever. In my Favorite Fighting Game Characters post, I listed him as second to Virtua Fighter's Akira Yuki, mostly because of the great amount skill and patience it takes to master the latter's skills in the game. But if I'm going for favorites in general, Terry tops all for me. His laid back, cheerful attitude, that trucker hat with various logos that appear on it (whether it's SNK, Neo-Geo, or Fatal Fury), and his memorable game quotes spoken in broken English, the Hungry Wolf is Legendary and even inspired me to create (i.e. blatantly rip off) a character who looked like him, only he wore board shorts. My wife got this for me as a Christmas/Anniversary/Valentine's Day gift, and I consider it to be the crown jewel of my small, but spirited toy collection.
Well, where else do I start with a character's likeness other than the very best accessory in a fighting game!? I would've killed for interchangeable logos!! The hat is fitted on with a peg joint, so it make the hat look like a very perfect fit, so I assume he chopped off the remainder of his hair, skull, and brain to accommodate.
Tamashii Nations once again does a stellar job of bringing the character's image into three dimensions. All of his faces are well done and expressive.
I don't mind blatantly obvious joint lines and exposed parts of articulation for an action figure. as you might've seen with CB27ded's MMPR Figuarts reviews, attempts at covering them up are valiant efforts, but wind up becoming more of a mess. The slightly rubberized denim vest, its own separate piece has some nice flexibility to go along with some stunning detail.
The T shirt with its cutoff sleeves looks pretty great. Through the folds you can see light indentation of his abs, which I approve, as whenever characters are wearing freaking T-shirts, it is either three sizes too small or they're wearing UnderArmour.
His arms look finely toned and various parts are painted slightly darker, helping catch light and producing a look that isn't glossy. Something else I preferred with the SNK roster of characters over Street Fighter is that their proportions aren't super jacked up and over exaggerated.
Terry comes with two ponytails, each shaped a little differently depending on what you might want to do with them in terms of posing and indicating movement. They look really well done, I'll talk a little more about them when I get to articulation. The trademark star logo on the back of the vest gives me goosebumps, it looks so amazing!!! The fabric looks purposely faded to convey the hardships his wardrobe takes when you spend all of your time fighting. With a lot of creases and folds throughout, it looks like a legit piece of clothing.
While his pants aren't as tight-looking as Benimaru's painted on attire (seriously, they make skinny jeans look like cargo pants with reinforced double seems), I still always wondered why Terry would fight in probably the worst choice of bottoms to wear when in a tournament that involves martial arts! Nonetheless, they are pretty well detailed like everything else thus far. The points at the waist and knees are even less disguised than the ball joints at the neck and arms. The creases and lines in the jeans are reasonably placed in areas that one would expect. They even fade a bit at the knee joints and his flexing calves, something I didn't pick up on when I first started observing him!! That really makes this toy come off as very organic.
There is some more fading around the pant leg and the cuffs. The shoes, which I'm a little sad that they aren't the official Converses but pretty much look like them anyway, are a tad bit askew with the paint job. It isn't super splotchy, but something about them looks like they were painted with frosting.
Overall, this is an excellent job, and while it's a slightly older toy than some of the recent Street Fighter IV line of beefed up action figures by Square Enix, much like the video games, I prefer the more reserved and slim character models of the King of Fighters. and Terry here is done perfectly. CHARACTER LIKENESS SCORE 10/10
While D Arts look much better than S.H. FiguArts, they aren't as flexible, and their joints seem to be a little more stubborn. That makes me attempt to apply more force than I would like to when moving them and I am always uneasy while posing.
That being said, it really isn't all that much of a problem to nail most of his signature attacks to near perfection. He doesn't have a base to hold him up, and I really don't know why, but I can't get him to stand up or even balance correctly. He doesn't feel top-heavy, or maybe I just haven't cracked it yet after all this time.
He is, however, tailor-made for his kneeling attacks, the Power Wave and…
It isn't too hard at all to make Terry thrust his fist into the ground to unleash a furious assault on any toy in my library!! And this doesn't get old! The detail in the biceps and triceps really accentuate the look, giving off the appearance that he is hitting with great intensity. The joints are, again, a little tight and he still squeaks a bit while moving him around.
Not super flexible, but he is able to move around in all the key points he needs to, so well done there. The arms can only really move in several directions and he doesn't have twisting forearms. Getting him to stand up straight is a pain, he topples over at the slightest brush. OVERALL ARTICULATION SCORE 7/10
His center of balance is just weird. His feet move ever so slightly and that doesn't really offer much help.
I've tried everything I could think of, but I can't crack this. I widened his stance, put his arms straight down. I tried his signature fighting pose, and nothing seems to keep Terry on his feet here. So if anyone else owns this guy, maybe I'm doing something wrong here. He just seems designated to lean slightly backwards. His upper body is sturdy, but not really all that top-heavy. Even the S.H. FiguArts Power Rangers can stand, and I put them in a wacky variety of poses. This is probably my biggest turnoff about him, which is a shame. OVERALL STABILITY SCORE 3.5/10
Terry comes with at least 4 sets of interchangeable hands, most notable is a specially made hand designed to hold his tote bag. Now THAT's impressive. It's light in weight and drapes over his shoulder just fine. A really cool attention to detail as the bag has some intentional wear and tear all over it. I can only assume he keeps that thing filled with cheeseburger wrappers and warm cans of TAB.
Various hands that fit easy enough. The two wrist bands on each of his gloves act as washers, or something to that effect. I have to make sure I don't loose track of those, they could pop off when interchanging hands.
Terry comes with three total heads. I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't a hatless version with hair, because I can't do his victory pose. But the action face and the ambivalent face look very good.
There's this thing…………I have no idea what it's for……
Terry's energy explosions look very good. That is one thing that has come a long way in recent years is the detail in energy blasts. I always made fun of them for looking like still-shot fruit juice bars and rubber candy. Now they all look pretty cool.
Terry has a solid handful of interchangeable accessories. I wished the pegs that connected his face to his hat wasn't so snug, however. OVERALL PARTS & ACCESSORIES SCORE 8/10
Overall, I'm super happy to have my icon as an action figure to put on my shelf. He looks great, moves around well enough, and his extra pieces are indeed a great deal of fun to play with. Once I get my hands on some more key items, I will have a great basket of entertainment with him. The biggest drawback is his lack of any kind of posterity. He just won't stand up straight to save his life. A few hand pieces don't offer a lot of flexibility and his ponytail has a tendency to fall out often. Terry leaves with an overall toy score of
