PSW 2011 Holiday Shopping Survey
Only 7 shopping days left!
Next week is "Super Saturday" (they seem to just make this stuff up every year) but I was not overly impressed by the crowd at the Wayne Town Center Mall yesterday. We were not even shopping, just picking up some cards and having lunch (the food court was packed). There were plenty of people, too be sure but, like us, they didn't seem to be carrying very much actual stuff. The clear exception, in my brief trip into the mall, was the Apple Store – where they couldn't have packed more people in if they were just giving it all away – boxes were flying out of that place!
As to the other stores, Tina no longer leaves the house to buy things for Christmas – AMZN ships everything for free (annual $79 Plus Membership, which includes movie rentals now) and has gift-wrapping and card-writing and often the best prices so it really doesn't make sense not to use them.
Personally, I can't buy like that – I need to see things and I kind of like poking around stores and talking to people but, then again, I also pay the people in the mall to wrap my gifts as I'm sure as hell not going to spend a day doing that (and, despite having spent my 16th Christmas working at the Macy's gift wrapping counter – I pretty much suck at it). Fortunately, I'm grounded enough to know this is not how normal people behave – even in upscale North Jersey.
Grounding ourselves is why these surveys are so valuable. We have a lot of smart Members from all walks of life with combined centuries of experience – who better to ask about shopping conditions all over the country, and the World?
The official estimate from the National Retail Federation is that there will be $469.1Bn (pretty exact for an estimate) spent this holiday season, which is an increase of 3.8% over last year, which was a 5.2% increase over 2009 ($437Bn), which really sucked! Still, it did not suck so much that $469Bn is not an new record for Q4 shopping.
"After strong sales reports in October and November, along with a successful Black Friday weekend, retailers are cautiously optimistic that this season will turn out better than initially expected, bringing added stability to our recovering economy at a time when America needs it most," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. "However, a number of factors, including the debt crisis in Europe and continued political wrangling in Washington, could impact consumer spending this holiday season and into 2012."
This is important stuff because 42M Americans work in 3.6M stores in America, a country that loves to shop. In fact, we love it so much that gift cards are now one of the top holiday gifts so that other people can have the fun of shopping with your money. Again, I'm old-fashioned and don't feel like a gift card is a "real" gift but my kids actually put them on their Christmas list and this year they want cards from AMZN, Toys R Us and, most interestingly, the Itunes Store. My kids are certainly not alone. In a First Data survey:
- When asked whether a recipient would rather get a $20 gift or a $25 gift card, 92 percent opted for the gift card
- When asked whether a recipient would rather get a $25 gift or a $25 gift card, 87 percent opted for the gift card
- When asked whether a recipient would rather get a $30 gift or a $25 gift card, 79 percent opted for the gift card
- When asked whether a recipient would rather get a $45 gift or a $25 gift card, 52 percent opted for the gift card
I find the last item VERY interesting, 52% would rather get a gift card that's half the value of an unknown gift – perhaps a good indication of how lousy people are at picking out good gifts for each other! Still, we need to be careful when we hear about these trends as gift card sales are expected to be $28Bn this year, up significantly from $24.8Bn last year but representing just 6% of Holiday Sales. CSTR machines now interestingly pop out gift cards in exchange for your change. To some extent, the rise of gift cards does shift that 6% off the holiday quarter and into Q1 as most retailers do not recognize the sale until the gift card is redeemed (despite the fact that they have the cash). Also, despite all the fuss, on-line sales are still under 10% of all retail (good growth prospects for AMZN!) – here's a good chart from last year:
Still 10% of the sales on-line explains 4M jobs going away (as does inflation meaning less stuff is being sold for more money). Amazon only employs 33,700 people to replace 4M retail sales associates – now that's efficiency! Also, you would think that's not so good for the REITs, and we have a massive, empty, $2Bn mall right here in New Jersey that proves you don't have to go to China to find very poorly thought out planning projects. What was originally aptly named Xanadu has now been horrifically and ironically been renamed "The American Dream" and is now scheduled to finally open in late 2013 – a full decade after this nightmare began!
I'd like to hear about your own shopping experiences and I'd really like to hear from people who own stores. According to the National Retail Association, most shoppers are only half done with Christmas shopping. That seems crazy but they said the same thing least year and they were right and this year we have an extra day so I guess it's going to be a crazy week in the malls. The Retail stores are open all kinds of crazy hours this weekend so staffing costs will be high and I do hope it works out for them, for all our sakes!
It's very hard to get a good read from the news because they are paid by retail advertisers to encourage you to shop so they're not going to interview a store owner who says "This is the worst holiday ever, I'm thinking of setting fire to the store for the insurance money." No, all you hear is the good stuff but we need to know what's real so we can make good investing decisions so if you are in retail, or know anyone in retail – please help us out and let's try to get some good numbers (comparisons to last year and "normal" years, etc.) in our last week of shopping.
If you are out shopping, all you have to do is keep your eyes open when you go to the stores, not just as to whether they are busy but as to whether people are actually buying thing and what kind of things they are buying – then just tell us what you saw.
Obviously, we care the most about stores we can invest in but general observations are good too. This is going to be make or break for the holidays but I think a lot of high expectations are already built in and this survey is a great way for us to gian insight as to what's hot and what's not around the country.
Try to include the symbols for the companies you discuss and be sure to give us a good idea, geographically of where you are shopping. Last year we got a great picture of what was going on in the country and it kept us from falling for the media hype about holiday shopping last year.
Only by comparing many people's experiences can we begin to get a good picture of the retail situation in this country, Thanks!

For years there had been a plan to build a new natural gas-fired electric plant near the town of New Carlisle, Indiana. The original plan, called the St. Joseph Energy Center, was to build a $500 million, 700-megawatt plant, to be fed by gas "coming from Canada, the West and the Gulf of Mexico." The plant had a groundbreaking this spring. However, plans are changing. The developer wants to double the size of the plant to 1,400 megawatts. There has been no mention of Marcellus/Utica gas feeding the plant, but our own speculation is that a lot has changed since this plant was first planned. One of the big changes has been a reversal of the Rockies Express (REX) pipeline, owned by Tallgrass, which now flows gas from the Marcellus/Utica west to Illinois (right through Indiana) delivering northeast gas to the Greater Chicago area, where this plant will be built. So that has MDN wondering if the St. Joseph Energy Center will get some yummy northeast gas to power it (the reason why we're highlighting this story)…

With a traumatic brain injury, you feel yourself slipping away. You can't remember things that used to come easily, things like how to find the grocery store – acts and details that live, mocking, at the edges of your thoughts, just outside your grasp.
You know there's something wrong, but you have a sense that it's all your fault. Rage bubbles and pops to the surface, the only emotion that seems to escape the thick stew of depression that dulls your days.
You make lists and lists, trying to get your life under control. But two days later, you stare at pieces of paper, trying to remember what the scribble meant, which thing it is that you were supposed to do next.
Chronic pain is there all the time, and you try to plan and wait and be patient and stick with a process, but then you find yourself sitting, head in hands, unable to remember what's next. All you know is that something's wrong. And the rage squirms and writhes, trying to bubble up again.
The behavioral changes and impaired functioning caused by post-traumatic brain injury aren't poignant science fiction. They're real.
Traumatic brain injury, especially from repeated concussions, has become a pivotal topic in sport, particularly in the National Football League. Watching a game on TV, it used to be easy to scoff at the concept, as you watched players collide a million times and heard the dull thud of plastic against muscle, bone against bone. You've seen players get up and walk it off. How could it be life-damaging? And even if it is, didn't they kind of ask for it?

Mrs Bennet in Pride and Prejudice is a mother with a mission. It is her sole object to have her daughters married well and she does all she can to achieve this end. At the beginning of Pride and Prejudice Mrs Bennet is keen for Mr Bennet to visit Mr Bingley, a rich neighbour who has recently moved to the area. Mr Bennet does not seem to strike up the acquaintance much to his wife's vexation. She speaks first.
"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no new-comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not."
"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chuses of the girls: though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."
"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference."
"They have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are all silly and ignorant, like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters."
"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way! You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves."
"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least."
"Ah! you do not know what I suffer."
"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood."
"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them."
"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all."
This is such a funny scene, especially when it is soon revealed that Mr Bennet intends to visit Mr Bingley without telling them!

Linux, it is said, is all about choice. Indeed, the ability to choose, well, pretty much everything, is probably the best thing about Linux. But the huge variety from which you can choose - ranging from distro and desktop to window manager - can also be overwhelming for newcomers.
If you've ever thought about abandoning Windows or Mac OS X for Linux, but stopped short because you weren't sure which variety of Linux to choose, this guide is for you.
It would be impossible to filter through every single Linux distribution and attempt to find the definitive one for every situation. There are simply too many distros out there - DistroWatch, a site devoted to tracking such things, lists hundreds of distros you can choose from.
In my experience there are three good indicators of how well a distro will suit the Linux newcomer switching from Windows.

Sacramento Kings to assign Tyler Honeycutt to D-League
Tyler Honeycutt is headed to Reno. The Sacramento Kings announced today that they will assign the second-year forward to the Reno Bighorns, their D-League affiliate, tomorrow.
Honeycutt has yet to play in a game this season. He missed a significant portion of training camp and preseason after a physical revealed a stress fracture in his right fibula last month. Honeycutt was cleared to return to practice just three weeks ago.
Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee was first to report Honeycutt's looming assignment. Kings Coach Keith Smart suggested to Jones that sending Honeycutt to the Reno would be good for the 22-year-old's recovery and development.
"I want to get him there as soon as possible because he needs to play," Smart told the Bee.
Honeycutt will be available to play in tonight's game against the Detroit Pistons. However, he must report to Reno by 5 pm on Friday. Honeycutt is the first D-League assignment of this new NBA season.

Are You Planting Anything This Spring?
Some ladies like to garden with flowers. Some grow veggie gardens. Some grow little pots of herbs to use in their kitchens. Are you going to plant anything this spring? What are you planning on? Have you started yet? Is this your first attempt or are you an old hand at growing things?
My hubby and I do a small box garden of peppers and tomatoes. And if we lose any of our plants over winter to the frost, we replace our flowers/shrubs or try new items. We lost a couple of agapantha plants this winter, so I think I'm going to replace them with Shasta daisey shrubs.
Goddess Johnnie
My usual, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions.
I love hanging pots full of flowers. I also have 3 raised beds, one with herbs, and I try and plant the others with veggies, though it's hard to grow things with my crazy dogs trampling everything. I also have tons of raspberry bushes, though my dogs run through those too.
My bleeding hearts are coming back. Thinking of planting some sort of flowering bush where my other flowers were that aren't coming back!

The Federal Housing Finance Agency expects to announce 2009 conforming loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Nov. 7.
The conforming loan limits are the caps on loans that the mortgage giants may buy. Larger "jumbo" loans generally carry higher interest rates.
February's federal stimulus package temporarily raised the cap from $417,000 in King County to $567,500 – 125 percent of the local median price. July's Housing and Economic Recovery Act directed the government to to set the permanent limits each year at 115 percent of the local median.

The report that Terrell Owens had attempted suicide had a lot of people shaking their heads. (I've had to update the blog since he said that he wasn't trying to hurt himself.) His explanation is a little fishy, but even if we take it at face value, it is another weird moment in what has turned out to be a strange football career. When the original report was that he'd tried to kill himself, there were those who said they never thought he'd do that.
It's a life-long theme with Owens, actually. They didn't think a lot of things. They didn't think he'd ever be a player — and they meant in high school, not in the Super Bowl. They didn't think he'd he'd get out of Alexander City, Alabama.
And most of all they didn't think he'd turn out to be this showboating, controversial, troubled character.
I met Owens back in 1996, when I interviewed him before his first starting assignment with the 49ers. He was a sweet kid. People don't believe that now, but he really was.
At that point we didn't know if his first name was pronounced TEAR-ell or ter-ELL.
"It's Terrell, like barrel," he said.
He joked about the college program where he played, Tennessee-Chattanooga (he said he got some interest from Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina but went with T-C). He was, he used to admit happily, a bit of a bumpkin.
In fact, he said, when he made the Tennessee-Chattanooga basketball team, and they traveled to Salt Lake City, it was the farthest west he'd ever gone.
"What," I asked, "was the next farthest place?"
"West Virginia," he said.
He told the story of his grandmother, who was his surrogate mom, and who was so protective of him that when he got a bike, she made him stay on the driveway, riding around in little circles.
He was skinny (185 pounds), raw, and thrilled to be playing in high school. He bulked up in a big way in college, so much so that a suspicious person might wonder if performance drugs were involved. By the time he was a senior he was 6-4, 220 pounds and could run like an antelope.
He was taken in the third round of the NFL draft in 1996 and was hardly a sensation. Ten wide receivers were taken ahead of him and J. J. Stokes was the big name newcomer at the time.
Back at the time, he told me he wandered into the 49ers locker room after he was chosen.
"I just stood there and stared," he said, "just trying to visualize being in the same room with those guys. I got chill bumps."
A few years later, after a game, I walked up to Owens at the mirror. He was putting in his diamond earring. I asked some innocuous question, probably not the most intelligent one he'd heard that day.
He blew up. He yelled at me, told me he'd already talking, and wasn't talking any more. I was so surprised I stood there and looked at him. I couldn't think of a response.
"Didn't you hear?" a reporter said. "He turned into a jerk."
I don't know when that happened. It would be easy to blame the bling and the money. He must have gotten some bad advice, that's for sure.
Suddenly he was stomping on the star in the middle of the Dallas field, or pulling a pen out of his sock after a touchdown to autograph the football.
By the time he left the 49ers it was a case of good riddance. He was a great receiver and an even bigger pain in the butt. He went on to call Jeff Garcia gay, get into a feud with Donovan McNabb when he was with the Eagles, and gave every indication of being a rampaging prima donna. He played in the Super Bowl with a broken bone and the Eagles still didn't want to keep him.
He's been the center of controversy and trouble ever since. The move to Dallas had all the earmarks of a disaster, and sure enough, here it is.
He's in deep trouble. He's lost his way, and not just as a player. Whether or not he ever plays in another Super Bowl isn't really the question. He's at risk for his life.
And no, I am not saying it is anyone's fault but his. There are plenty of kids from tiny towns and humble backgrounds who hit the big time and manage just fine. He had a miracle chance and he blew it.
But somewhere in there is that kid, riding little circles on his grandmother's driveway, the guy who was thrilled to have a chance to play.
But right now that guy is lost. There are a lot of people who are completely fed up with him. And they wish Owens the worst.
They can stop now. They got their wish.

2. Watch a sitcom on television, and then write about how the actions of the characters demonstrated either respectful or disrespectful behavior.
3. Bullies are often trying to make people "respect" them. Is this really respect, or is it fear? What is the difference? How is bullying and violent behavior an act of disrespect?
4. Write about a time when you were disrespectful to someone. Why did it happen? Was it the right thing to do? What were the consequences? How did it make the other person feel? What did you learn from the experience?
5. Describe three things you could do to be a more respectful person. How would that affect your relationships with others? How does it benefit you to be a respectful person?
6. In the video one teen talks about a ripple effect: If one person treats another with respect, the respect begins to spread out from there. Write an editorial for your school newspaper encouraging students to start the "respect ripple effect." Describe what it could accomplish in your school setting.

1. Conduct a survey in your school or community, asking questions like these. Do you think people are respectful enough? What are some disrespectful acts that really annoy you? What are some respectful acts that you especially appreciate? Compile the results into a report.
2. Brainstorm ways to make your school environment more respectful. Create a list of recommendations and place them in your school newspaper or on a poster.
3. Divide the class into small groups. Have each group develop a list of dos and donts for being a respectful person. Have them make oral reports to the class addressing the following questions: What happens when people live in accordance with these guidelines. What happens when they dont. In what ways does respectful and disrespectful behavior affect our community and society?
4. Bring in articles from newspapers and magazines describing situations in which respect or disrespect are issues. Talk about who is acting respectfully, and who is acting disrespectfully in these situations. Using the articles as evidence, tell the class about the consequences of disrespectful and respectful behaviors.

American consumers have been rattled by a barrage of food and product recalls this year.
Toys, pet food, seafood, tires, toothpaste and other products made in China have triggered the biggest alarms. Who knew that most of the toys on American store shelves — more than 80 percent — are made in China, including untold numbers with toxic lead?
Well, this holiday season, most Americans finally do. And it's not just toys.
The Food and Drug Administration this year detained imports of farm-raised shrimp, catfish and other seafood containing traces of drugs not approved in the United States. Those were just the ones they discovered. Who knows what else got through?
Then there was the frozen spinach containing a pesticide, and honey containing a cancer-causing antibiotic. The frightening list goes on.
That's why we applaud U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette for her efforts to protect consumers from tainted products and contaminated food. She has become a leading advocate in the House of Representatives for consumer product and food safety.
We shouldn't have to become a society where we check and double check the labels on toys, food and other products every time we go shopping, and then worry after our purchase is made. In fact, Americans should have some degree of confidence that products sold by U.S. businesses meet U.S. standards.
DeGette has introduced bills designed to give the FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture mandatory recall authority in the event of an outbreak of contamination and also create a system to trace food "from the farm to the fork." She also is co-sponsoring a bill to create a single agency charged with overseeing the nation's food supply, instead of the 15 federal agencies that now share food safety jurisdiction.
Her consumer product safety bill would beef up the powers and funding for the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and would expand the number of employees for the woefully understaffed agency.
"Even though toy recalls, mostly due to lead, increased dramatically in the last five years, the CPSC has only one toy inspector for the entire agency," DeGette said. When the consumer agency was formed in the 1970s, most toys sold in the United States were made here. Now, most are made in China and other countries. It's a dramatic shift, and our consumer protection laws need to be changed to reflect that reality.
Between January and September, 88 percent of the toys, dolls and games imported to the United States came from China, according to DeGette's office. The number of toy recalls have more than doubled since 2002. While some might think that recalls mean the system is working, the fact is that recalls occur after the toys are on the market. Less than 10 percent of the recalled toys purchased are ever returned.
Congress needs to get behind DeGette's efforts to improve consumer safety and catch tainted products before they go on the market.

IN THE POUGHKEEPSIE STATION — After 2 a.m., when Comptroller Tom DiNapolli finally declared victory in his re-election bid, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver came down from the 48th-floor suite where DiNapoli was huddling.
"I think it's great, I think it's going to be a tough time and we need a leader with a vision for New York, and I think Andrew has it," he said of his former conference member. "I think we are going to be able to set an agenda with great leadership from Andrew for new York in these very difficult economic times, and I believe we will be able to push forth that agenda."
The second sentence came in response to a question about a property tax cap, which Silver has signaled willingness to negotiate…eventually.
I asked about whether Andrew Cuomo could have helped DiNapoli more.
"I don't take it as anything. Eric Schneiderman's the attorney general. Tom DiNapoli is going to be the comptroller, and Andrew Cuomo is going to be the governor of the state of New York. That's it. Everybody ran a race," Silver said. "There was a state Democratic ticket, there was joint literature, and in the end result, that's what carried the day. I think Andrew Cuomo's victory helped Eric Schneiderman and Tom DiNapoli."
And will legislators be coming back on Nov. 15, as Gov. David Paterson has called?
"I think we'll work out an appropriate time to come back and an appropriate agenda," Silver said. It will be sometime this calendar year, but without the Senate settled, Nov. 15 seems optimistic.

-- orchestral and world samples
orchestral and world samples
orchestral and world samples
what are the best?
rather vague.
you are basically asking what is the best synth.
For what ?
There is no all out best. They suck in on way or another and none can replace an orchestra so it depends on your needs. I would just get Kontakts big collection. Has a bit of everything.
The best orchestral I suppose would be VSL but that would cost you about 10 000.
I want to remake this on my pc for fun!
How well ?
What is your budget ?
the hardest thing to do are winds which ironically has the less amount of choice mainly due to the lower level of composition in films lately in that composing for winds is harder and well , they have disapeared in the last 10- 20 years.
John WIllians is rather orchestral and VSL is probably the only library that can do that in any realistic way.
|Originally posted by Looney4Clooney
How well ?
What is your budget ?
Check out
Project Sam *
Vienna Symphonic Library*
And if you must, East West. Just beware your money is going to a gigantic dick head.
the kontakt package is your best bang for buck. Has a bit of everything.
honestly, you say you want to star wars but you will more likely hack out notes on a keyboard and for that approach the project sam type stuff is probably more what you are looking for. THey are typically called like filler libraries where you have your bass orchestration and add these other libraries to make it sound more realistic and full. They sound great but aren't really meant to be used with traditional orchestration.
Take a look at this.
Like L4C said, Vienna is the way to go if you want to get a decent sound. I recommend getting started with the special edition, but that's gonna be around 600-700$ a pop and it's not cheap.
East-West may appear to sound good out of the box, but it's drowned out with unecessary fx and sounds heavily processed. You want something that comes dry, so that you can add your own flavour of fx depending on the use and needs. I also recommend a good convolution reverb with a good amount of impulse samples.
But beware, orchestration is not for the faint of heart. It is very different from composing in EDM, and you really need to understand how instruments are played, how they are articulated, the position and panning and depth of instruments, and how they combine to really get something that doesn't sound like someone sat down and drew notes on a computer.
Thanks guys
I also found this on google.
it depends on what you want to do. DO you really want to instrument each instrument ? Or would you rather play like chords and do whole sections at a time. That will dictate what is best for you.
VSL is great but in the hands of an idiot, it is useless while say Symphobia sounds great if you just play 2 notes.
And for world samples, again, what part of the world. Percussion or instruments ? SoundIron and 8dio , Sonokinetic, sonicouture are all small companies that have some really great affordable librairies. Best Service has a great one , EW as well has a few that are specific.
Just get Kontakt as L4C said, the included orchestral samples aren't bad at all, and you'll need it to fire up a lot of the decent commercial libraries anyway.
It's more about what you know than what you use anyway. I've heard some pretty stunning orchestral compositions come out of libraries that are pretty basic because the dude making them a) knows how to orchestrate (or it's electronic alternative) and b) knows what the strengths and weaknesses of that particular library are.
Kontakt also includes some of the older VSL samples which although limited, offer some nice layering possibilities.
I think by now you have good answers from the resident experts on orchestral instruments, but I'll just add that I have EWQL Gold and the VSL Epic Orchestra that is bundled with Vienna Ensemble Pro. Between the two, I think the VSL sounds better overall, but EWQL has more instruments and is cheaper than most of the others mentioned so far, particularly if you can hold off for one of their 2-for-1 sales that they run pretty regularly.
As for the world instruments, I have both EWQL Ra and Silk. Silk sounds better overall IMO, but has fewer instruments, whereas Ra is much more diverse. MOTU Ethno 2 is probably even more diverse, although I have Ethno 1 and the quality of the samples generally ranges from meh to decent compared to the EWQL libraries. Ethno World 5 from Best Service is supposedly very good, but I've never used it and it's very expensive.

Stuff like the Roland SRX-09 World Collection Expansion Board.
well idk yet I have some starswars .midi files going to brake them all down in reaper and use some GM sounds off my yamaha and reason's nn-xt sampler and use what sounds the best and go from there.
hell I need to check out them plug-ins y'all talked about.

If you have a min., PM me about your experiences integrating Reason and Reaper. I'm a Reaper guy and considering Reason to pair up with it.
For strings, 'LA Scoring Strings' can sound very nice when properly used. But it costs ~$1k and takes 40GB+ of space, so you better be somewhat serious.

ModCloth.com Raises $19.8 Million in Series B Led by Accel
Indie Fashion E-Retailer Aims to Revolutionize Fashion Industry
Jun 30, 2010, 20:00 ET from ModCloth
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- ModCloth, an innovative online retailer specializing in fashion and decor from independent designers, has secured $19.8 million in a round of Series B financing. The funding will be used to capitalize on the explosive growth of the indie fashion e-retailer, which became profitable in 2009 after four back-to-back years of roughly 600% annual growth. This round is led by Accel Partners, which also includes Facebook, Etsy and Groupon in their portfolio. ModCloth's previous investors, First Round Capital and Floodgate, are also participating. Theresia Gouw Ranzetta joins Josh Kopelman of First Round Capital and Mike Maples of Floodgate, alongside husband-and-wife co-founders Eric Koger and Susan Gregg Koger, on ModCloth's board.
ModCloth will use the capital to further develop its own social commerce platform built in Ruby on Rails. A full scale build-out of the product management and digital experience teams is already underway in San Francisco, where a new headquarters was opened in May. There are also plans to launch a new supply chain operation in Los Angeles within the next several months. The original Pittsburgh office will continue to serve as the hub for customer support and distribution, along with other core functions.
"We want to fundamentally change the fashion industry," says co-founder Susan Gregg Koger. "For so long, creating fashion has been this top-down process where the few 'insiders' at the top get to say what's cool. We've already started to change that through programs like Be the Buyer™, which empowers customers to vote samples from indie designers into production. But that's just the beginning; our list of to-dos is a mile long."
ModCloth was started by Eric and Susan, when they were just teenagers, during the summer before entering Carnegie Mellon University in 2002. Eric applied his tech experience and business acumen to help transform Susan's creativity and love of "thrifting" into an online business. After graduating from college in 2006, Susan and Eric decided to expand, offering vintage-inspired clothing from talented indie designers from all over the world. The company has gained attention for its unique dedication to customer engagement on the site, as well as for being a vanguard in the social media sphere. Site features such as Be the Buyer™ have inspired a fun and unique social shopping community that empowers both independent designers and customers.
"ModCloth is helping to change the way people shop in the same way that Facebook changed the way we communicate. In a very short period of time and with little outside capital, the company has leveraged the social web to empower a wildly loyal and engaged customer base," said Theresia Gouw Ranzetta of Accel. "Under the leadership of Susan and Eric, we expect ModCloth to continue its customer-focused innovation and phenomenal growth," added Ryan Sweeney, who is also part of the Accel team backing ModCloth.
Long-term, the funding will enable ModCloth, now with a team of over 150, to continue to blur the lines between consumers, designers, producers, and e-retailer.

Hi guys!
Just a quick announcement.
So, even though my books have all been exclusively on Amazon for the past half a year or so, they will all be back on Barnes and Noble toward the end of July.
My latest book, Dante's Girl, is already there. Nook readers, you can find it here.
The rest of my titles will follow in late July. I'm excited about this, as I've had many Nook readers contact me to complain that they can't access my books for their Nooks.
I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!

The U.S. economy produced 288,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, MarketWatch reported today. The unemployment rate was the lowest since September 2008.
In June, virtually every major industry added jobs, led by professional services, retail, restaurants, health care, finance and manufacturing.
Employment gains for May and April were also revised up by a combined 29,000, the Labor Department said.
The government said 224,000 new jobs were created in May, up from a preliminary 217,000, based on newly available data. April's gain was revised up to 304,000 from 282,000, marking the biggest increase in jobs in 2 1/2 years.

Threat is a non issue now for the most part, extremely hard to lose threat unless it is to another high vengeance tank. Knowing how to use your active mitigation, however, has tanking being more enjoyable than it has ever been. Tanking itself is engaging and about timing. I'd suggest tanking for anyone, it is a lot of fun, but I wouldn't suggest going in to things completely blind. People WILL get upset at you and WILL give you a hard time.
Start by reading the dungeon journal in game and then if you still don't feel comfortable just google something like "stormstout brewery heroic guide" or something like that. The information should be incredibly easy to find.
DO NOT, under any circumstances go into lfr as a tank and say two seconds before the pull (or as most do, wait till they wipe the group first) "never been here, don't know what to do" because you WILL have a bad time.

The beautiful valley of Srinagar, once called the Venice of India is lost somewhere amidst the flood waters. Floods struck Jammu and Kashmir months back taking away all the magnificence imbibed in the city from prehistoric times.
The chaos in Srinagar can be attributed to unplanned development plans of the State government which devastated the water bodies and natural linkages. Ad hoc constructions left no way for ferocious waters to move, leading them into the city. Between 1911 and 2014, over 9,000 hectares of water bodies and marshy lands have been lost due to encroachments. Dal Lake has been reduced to one third of its original size.
Out of all, Dal Lake is the only less degraded one. Floating islands the splendor of these lakes once, are permanent fixtures now with houses and buildings on top of it. The ecology and natural waters have been dislocated. The water bodies of Srinagar like Nala Amir Khan, Gilsar, Kuta Kul, Choonth Kula have been turned into drainages. Wetlands like Hokarsar and Narakor, Anchar and Brari Nambal are more like garbage dumps now.
In 1992 also J&K received same amount of rainfall but the water quantity in Jhelum River was about 30,000 cusecs less. And it was primarily because of better quality forests and water channels which helped removing excess water.
What use to be canals back in history are now two lane pucca roads with shopping complexes and offices on both sides. The man's vandalism of natural waters bodies and forest covers led to this catastrophe.
Playing the blame game will not help, this dent on beauty of Srinagar will last forever.

NSHC Portroe and Nenagh Éire Óg draw in Dolla
Portroe 0-13 Nenagh Éire Óg 1-10
A long-range John Sheedy free in second half injury time earned a share of the points for Portroe at a soaking wet Dolla on Sunday.
Éire Óg and Portroe served up a ferocious battle which Portroe deserved to win, but John Sheedy's men were undone by four poor wides in the final ten minutes of this enthralling, if very low-scoring, affair.
For the Portroe men Noel O'Halloran, Colm Gleeson and Kevin O'Halloran were outstanding while Jimmy Creamer looked a most obvious candidate for the man of the match accolade. Meanwhile Pearse Morris, John Brennan and Hugh Maloney shone out for Éire Óg while Noel Maloney edged a terrific battle with Portroe veteran Dinny Hogan on the edge of the square.
Portroe won the toss and opted to play into the wind in the first half. Indeed, the Portroe lads were superb in the opening half - they out-worked Éire Óg and created the room to fire over some terrific scores.

RIBEIRO, Sérgio Conti et al. Müllerian duct anomalies: review of current management. Sao Paulo Med. J. [online]. 2009, vol.127, n.2, pp.92-96. ISSN 1516-3180. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-31802009000200007.
The aim of this paper was to discuss the embryological aspects of Müllerian duct anomalies and to analyze the current diagnostic methods and therapy. Müllerian anomalies are congenital defects of the female reproductive tract resulting from failure in the development of the Müllerian ducts and their associated structures. Their cause has yet to be fully clarified, and it is currently believed to be multifactorial. Symptoms appear principally during adolescence or early adulthood, and affect the reproductive capacity of these women. When clinically suspected, investigations leading to diagnosis include imaging methods such as hysterosalpingography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance. The classification of these malformations relates to their embryogenesis, and defines the therapy and prognosis. Müllerian anomalies consist of a wide range of defects that may vary from patient to patient. Therefore, their management must also be individual, taking anatomical and clinical characteristics into consideration, as well as the patient's wishes.
Palavras-chave : Urogenital abnormalities; Müllerian ducts; Embryonic development; Laparoscopy; Infertility; Gynecology.

Author Notes: The difference between bouillabaisse and any other fish soup lies in the combination of flavors beyond the seafood stock. A hint of saffron, an accent of zested orange, and a few sliced fennel bulbs and fronds bring out an essence from the seafood that would otherwise remain hidden. While they might seem simple, omit any one of these ingredients and the depth of flavor in your bouillabaisse will lose the complexity that earned it such a vibrant reputation.
My preference is a bouillabaisse with a small amount of tomato and generous amounts of fennel and saffron, so the recipe here reflects that. Feel free to experiment by adjusting the amounts of tomato, fennel, orange zest, and saffron to suit your own tastes. Ultimately, a balance of ingredients is the most important factor, as you're aiming for a soup with flavors like a symphony: all in tune but with each instrument only minutely recognizable. —Belle Année
Serves 6
For the bouillabaisse:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- 1 small bulb of fennel
- 1/4 cup fennel fronds (plus a few extra for garnish)
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 1 tablespoon warm water for at least 5 minutes
- 9 cups seafood stock (homemade if possible, Bar Harbor if not)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled
- 1/2 pound mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
- 1/2 pound small hard-shelled clams, scrubbed
- 3 pounds white fish fillets (such as red snapper, striped bass, grouper, and/or cod), cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Pastis (such as Pernod), optional
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
- Rouille spread over baguette crisps, recipe below
- If making baguette crisps to serve alongside, heat the oven to 250º F.
- Place a 6-8 quart stock pot over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and after about 30 seconds add the chopped onion. Stir frequently and let cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion begins to turn translucent. Add the tomatoes and garlic at the same time and stir. Let cook for another 5 minutes. Add the fennel, fennel fronds, potatoes, bay leaf, saffron and soaking water, seafood stock, and orange zest. Let cook until it begins to softly boil. Taste for salt and pepper—add as needed.
- If making rouille and baguette crisps to serve with your bouillabaisse, now is good time to start making them (see below)—just turn the burner to low while you do so. For the rouille, use 2 Tbsp of broth from your boiling pot.
- Bring the heat back to medium, and add the shrimp, mussels, and clams. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the fish. Continue to cook until all of the seafood is just cooked through.
- Remove the mollusks with tongs and set aside. Add the Pastis if you are using it. Give the soup a gentle stir and then ladle into individual serving bowls.
- To serve: Add a few of each kind of the mollusk to each bowl, and then top with a sprinkle of parsley, a few fronds of fennel, and a slice of baguette topped with a generous helping of Rouille.
For the rouille and baguette crisps:
- 1 cup cubed baguette, most of the crust removed
- 3 tablespoons water
- 4 large garlic cloves, divided
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons bouillabaisse broth or seafood broth
- Baguette
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Add the baguette pieces to a blender along with the water, two garlic cloves, olive oil, and bouillabaisse broth. Blend for 1 minute if using a very powerful blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec) or 2 minutes if using a standard kitchen blender. If it is too thick to blend, add more bouillabaisse broth, one tablespoon at a time. Set aside.
- Slice a baguette into 1/2-inch slices and spread evenly on baking tray. Toast for 5 to 10 minutes, removing when the slices just begin to brown.
- Slightly smash the two remaining garlic cloves and rub one over each toast, then brush each with olive oil. Serve with a side of Rouille for dipping.
- Note: Allow 3-4 crisps per person. One is usually served in the bouillabaisse, but it is also nice to serve a few on the side (even if that isn't traditional).

The Leif Garrett Story, Continued
We can't resist passing along a story that moved on the wires this afternoon:
LOS ANGELES - Seventies teen idol Leif Garrett was being held without bail after authorities said he was suspected of carrying narcotics and not having a subway ticket.
Garrett, 44, was arrested by sheriff's deputies Saturday on the platform of the Pershing Square Red Line station when he didn't have a ticket, authorities said. Deputies found suspected narcotics during a search, officials said.
We recognize this isn't a New York story, which sort of takes it out of our purview. But it is definitely a media story. After all the bad news about James Frey and JT Leroy, we should hope VH1 is crashing a revised Behind the Music right now.
Because we don't know what we do if we thought they were lying to us, too.

4. Programming American Music
FRANK J. OTERI: The majority of the eight composers you've commissioned are Americans.
SIMON WOODS: Plus one Brit, one Finn, and one Puerto Rican…
FRANK J. OTERI: Well, since Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth and Roberto is based in the United States, I think it's fair to say he's also an American composer. Which gets me to my next point, which is it's interesting that you say the Philadelphia Orchestra has not been traditionally associated with "American composers." I think one of the interesting things about this season and about highlighting works which the Philadelphia Orchestra in fact gave the world premiere performances of, is that a number of composers we perceive of as Europeans were in fact naturalized Americans and therefore were in fact American composers. I'm thinking now of composers like Bartók and Rachmaninoff, who spent the majority of his life in the United States, of Schoenberg and Stravinsky, who became naturalized U.S. citizens. Kurt Weill, as well, whom I see you're also doing on this season. These composers became American composers, and a lot of the music they wrote in this country, I'm thinking now specifically of Bartók's Third Piano Concerto and his Concerto for Orchestra, are very American works in a lot of ways.
SIMON WOODS: What do you think is American about the Bartók Third Concerto?
FRANK J. OTERI: There is definitely a jazz influence, there's a lot of syncopation going on.
[30 seconds]
RealAudio sound clip

JOSEPH H. KLUGER: You may think this is a heretical statement. The world becomes smaller through technology and our ability to travel. I think, with all due respect to the American Music Center, I think we've got to start to recognize that we live on one world, and music is music, and the Philadelphia Orchestra is an international orchestra. The conductors are from all over the world, some of them are American, some of them are European, some of them are Asian, as are the musicians. We just have to make sure we're presenting the best there is in the world, recognizing that that comes from many different places, and stop apologizing because we either do too much or too little of any one nationality.
FRANK J. OTERI: I'd like to challenge that for a second. When I traveled around in Europe, I discovered that Sibelius is on the money in Finland. And almost all the programs in Finland include works by Sibelius. You go to Germany, and Clara Schumann is on the money. Not just a composer, but a woman composer!
JOSEPH H. KLUGER: I would be equally critical of them in saying that their audiences are missing out on some of the great music of the world, composers like Stravinsky and Barber and William Schuman. I'm not saying we shouldn't be performing those works, all I'm saying is the parochial point of view, wherever you are, we should be playing more Sibelius in America and less in Finland. We should be playing more American composers in Europe. It's just a personal statement.
BRIAN ATWOOD: And we're very lucky, actually, that this orchestra has made that commitment throughout its entire history. And when you look back and start to program a season such as what we've done with the 100th, I think you'll find that the reason we've got such a varied list of composers and a vast variety of different areas where they come from is because that directly reflects the history of this orchestra, and we've always had a commitment to that and I think we're continuing that now in our commission projects. Yes, there are a number of American composers, and I think that's something that we've wanted to work on for a while, but as Simon mentioned we also have a number of folks from other countries and other areas of the world that are also being commissioned for this.

Surprise, surprise: eco-friendly stuff won't rid you of drai
By Steven on 01/03/2012
Verified Purchase
We returned from a week's trip to find a shower drain infested w/drain flies for the 1st time. Common-sense remedies (boric acid powder, "Liquid Pipe Snake") didn't work (after several weeks), so I found myself here. Reading the majority of good reviews, I thought I couldn't go wrong. I followed the treatments exactly - but after 5 treatments, the shame of drain flies was back. I had enough left for a couple more days, so I figured that would do it. Nope, they were back in full force - "eco-friendly" cleaning means NOTHING to gnasty gnats! At my final straw, I decided to try an insect spray; trouble was that spraying DOWN into a drain doesn't work, when the can needs to be upright to spray! So, I made a cup out of foil, went outside (to avoid the aerosol smell) & sprayed some "OFF! with DEET" in the cup (2 tbsp or so) & poured it around the perimeter of the drain. Next day - NO FLIES!! I did one more treatment as insurance, but an oz. of DEET was worth 2 lbs. of the DF5000 "cure". The moral? If you want a VERY expensive eco-friendly-drain-fly-house-cleaner, buy DF5000. If you want RID of the DFs, get some cheap "Liquid Plumber Gel" & a can of "OFF!". Clean the drain well, rinse w/hot water, & pour in the "OFF!" to sit overnight. I'm all for eco-friendly, but I'm not coddling drain flies. DR5000 is a TOTAL waste of money, if you REALLY want rid of these horrid pests.

DF 5000 Really Works!!!!
By Bunny on 07/09/2010
After cooking for 56 years for my family I suddenly was invaded by many hundreds of Drain Flies for 3 years; coming out of the drain, hitting me in the face, landing in food I was preparing. They don't look or act like fruit flies. They hardly fly, they appear & disappear right in front of your eyes. So you can't see them to kill them?? They set up camp in every drain, on all 3 floors of my home. A couple of them even flew into my refrigerator. As a test, I kept the door shut for two hours, figuring I could get a whole DEAD sample to have identified; Guess what..after 2 hours they flew out alive!! I always used bleach, boiling water, vinegar, baking soda...That didn't prevent them, or get rid of them. After researching on the WWW, I discovered the info about DF 5000. I followed directions, IT REALLY works. You must treat every drain that 1st week!! Or they WILL move to an untreated drain. It took one season to get rid of them. I'm now reordering & so grateful there is a solution, and especially that it's a Natural One. Greatgrandmabunny

Didn't help a bit

It almost seemed like we had a small baby boom of flys after we used the product in our one sink kitchen. I threw twenty bucks down the drain at a time when I couldn't afford it :( sad panda
Expert response:
This customer probably did not have drain flies. This product rarely does not work, if they are coming from the drain. Other flies can be in a house that are the same size as drain flies. They could be fruit flies or they could be fungus gnats, which breed from potted plants. We always recommend performing a test using glue boards over all of the drains in the room before treating. If you get flies caught on the glue board you leave over the drain at night, then you KNOW it is drain flies and you know what drain to treat. If you still have flies in the house but you are not catching any on the glue boards, then it is fruit flies or fungus gnats.

This works.
By Db on 06/29/2010
We've had a residential drain fly problem off and on for a year. We tried numerous things only to have the drain flies return days later. So we were skeptical about DF 5000. But we bought DF 5000 and started to use exactly as directed. (The 4oz dose seems like a lot when you're pouring... but we made sure to use the full amount.) Within a day, there were no flies. It's been three weeks...no flies. We plan to keep up with the recommended maintenance. Order showed up quickly and in good shape. All in all, a better-than-expected experience.

These bugs are relentless. After the initial five days, we thought they were gone, but days later they came back with a vengeance. We're going to try to detach the pipes and scrub before starting the 5 day treatment again. The shipment came super fast and we were happy to get started with the product right away.

Good Stuff

Follow the directions, and it works. My drain fly/moth problem was horrific, though - literally thousands of them in my bathroom at a time. I opted to use the whole bottle night after night instead of leaving some for the once a month thing. I have *very few* bugs left, so I may buy some more, but overall this takes care of the problem.

In two days, 90% of flies were gone. Thereafter, I treated drains every other day, because it takes the little buggers at least two days to produce new adults. They were gone after two weeks. Hint: don't pour down the drain, dribble it around the periphery so it oozes down the inside of the drain pipe.

Well first when I received this stuff it had leaked in the box so I lost like the first 4 oz...I called the company who only refunded me for about that value...the box was a mess. I have used this according to directions and there are still flies in one of my sinks!! Using this in 4 sinks (4 oz) each it goes very quickly...for the money that's a lot. I still have those irritating little flies in my kitchen!!

Drain Fly Gell
By Lee on 06/07/2011
Verified Purchase
I had a drain fly infestation that I was unable to control until I used the Internet to find out what was the best product for this problem. A number of sites, two from universities, suggested that DF 5000 was the only product that really worked. And it did, but I suggest that the problem first be addressed by having your drain professionally cleaned out, then use the DF 5000 in all drains that connect to the infected site. For example, my problem was in the bathroom sink, but this drain connected somewhere with the bathroom shower drain. Once the line was cleaned, I used DF 5000 in both drains for 5 nights and so far the fly problem is over. I will use the product weekly for a while, then monthly to ensure the fly issue is over.

We have been fighting drain flies for over a year and even had the pest control company tell us things to do. A friend told us about Demon and their products so I tried the drain fly kit and it worked. I have ordered two more bottles of the gel and use it every 4 or 5 days and so far the pests are under control. I would highly recommend this product.

Works great!!
By Jenny on 06/15/2011
I was very unsure of what the outcome of using this product would be but I was sick and tired of drain flies surrounding us during dinner time and all over the place. I used the gel according to the directions and some tips from other consumers and turns out it worked great!!! I don't have any more drain flies in the house at all. I thought I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel but finally it is all taken care of and I'm so happy :-)

Drain Files
By N22chandler on 07/06/2015
Recently I purchased this item b/c I found out what I thought was a fruit flies problem for yrs and I saw results in 1 week. I've tried multiple traps @ once and after realizing what it was I used bio derm and it didn't work and then I tried df5000 and saw results in days. One bottle worth is a full week of treating daily, so I recently bought two more bottles for the up keep. Since I still had a few flies and they have returned not as bad but more than a few after a week of not using I need to continue use I guess I really kill the area they live and breed in. I hope it doesn't break my pockets.
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! We are glad that you have had success with your treatment. If you would like an alternative product that comes in a larger size, InVade Bio Drain is very similar to DF5000, and it is available in a gallon size: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/invade-bio-drain-p-352.html

Purchased this product to eliminate some drain fly issues in a bathroom, product seemed to help during the treatment days but did not eliminate the problem permanently. The drain flies were back within two days.

Don't be discouraged! Due to the breeding habits of drain flies it can take a few rounds of treatments to get rid of them for good.

DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel---EXTREMELY SATISFIED
By Gina on 01/06/2013
Verified Purchase
I recently purchased the product DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel, in hopes of ridding my bathroom these pests. This was my last resort before having to call in a professional. While, our bathroom was not completely overwhelmed by these pests. The 2-4 pests that emerged every day or so, WERE quite annoying. Once I received DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel in the mail, I began using it the following morning and for 5 straight morning, I poured 4 oz down the drain of my shower. The first four days, the pest kept coming as useful. HOWEVER, on the 5th day (following treatment), I saw no drain flies. I was COMPLETELY AMAZED, however I was somewhat unsure is this problem was completed resolved or if this was some temporary reprieve. However, I can CONFIDENTLY CONFIRM, I have NOT seen any drain flies in over month! THIS PRODUCT WORKS

Ipswich still searching for the winning formula
It's Ipswich Town versus the Sky Blues on Monday night, a second successive live TV outing for Andy Thorn's men, who should go into the game at Portman Road bristling with confidence following their 2-0 victory over Derby County last Saturday.
The hosts meanwhile, despite a summer of transfer activity that has left them with a tasty-looking squad, including the likes of Michael Chopra, Ibrahima Sonko, Lee Bowyer and Jimmy Bullard, have struggled with five defeats in their last six games and a host of goals conceded.
Manager Paul Jewell is under pressure after some calamitous defeats, notably when shipping seven at Peterborough and, speaking after the most recent reverse away to Blackpool, admitted: 'At the moment we are a team that is lacking, we don`t have the right formula. We are searching for that formula, but we are a bit unbalanced, we know that.
'It`s hard work, and, to be honest, we don`t know our best team is at the moment.'

Maybe you could email a few of the photographers and see if they would work something out for you. Our photographer CANCUN STUDIOS created an entire package/TTD to fit our budget. If not, perhaps your BM or MOH could both do some videography and just have fun with it? Good luck!

A veteran BASE jumper from Norway narrowly escaped death while trying to perform an acrobatic BASE jump from atop a 4,000-foot cliff.
Richard Henriksen, a surgeon and a father of five, was thrown off the cliff as he attempted to add an acrobatic twist to his jump using a high bar. Just as he swung from the high bar to prepare for his jump, the metal bar broke, sending Henriksen into a free fall.
The stunt was captured on camera by the Norwegian television network NRK, reportedly on hand to film footage of the sport which involves using a parachute to jump from either a building, antenna, span or earth, the four fixed objects that make up the acronym BASE, according to basejumper.com.
RELATED: Austrian Daredevil Completes Supersonic Skydive
Henriksen opened his parachute just in time to survive the fall, but eyewitnesses doubted he would make it. NRK host Are Sende Osen told media outlets the crowd let out a collective gasp at the fall, according to UK news site Orange.co.uk.
Henriksen reportedly said after the fall, once he was home with his children, he too realized how close to death he had come.
"I sat with the two youngest children, reading and singing to them. Then it dawned on me that my children could have been without a dad," Henriksen said, according to Orange.co.uk.

While the telecommunications sector has been trailing the broader market, U.S. telecom exchange traded funds show promising dividends, attractive valuations and sturdy component holdings, says investment researcher Morningstar.
The U.S. telecommunications sector has become a mature industry, shedding the high leverage, weak profitability and uncertain growth that use to characterize the sector, writes Robert Goldsborough, ETF analyst at Morningstar.
The industry, led by giants like AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ), is focusing on society's move toward wireless gadgets and internet usage, which has boosted demand for smartphones and mobile broadband devices.
The sector has fallen behind the broader market so far this year, but the industry has remained on hold, at least until the AT&T and T-Mobile deal either goes through or breaks apart.
"Investors who have seen the market's recent pullback (and, particularly, its recent punishment of telecom firms) but want to avoid single-stock risk, should consider a telecom ETF," Goldsborough said. "Currently, three ETFs focus solely on U.S. telecom firms. All three trade significantly below Morningstar's fair value estimates for the funds."
The ETFs include:
- iShares Dow Jones US Telecom (NYSEArca: IYZ). IYZ is the largest and most liquid of the three. The fund holds fixed-line, wireless and tower companies. The ETF is also heavily weighted in its top 10 holdings, which make up 71% of assets, with AT&T at 19% and Verizon at 14%. IYZ has an expense ratio of 0.47%.
- Vanguard Telecom Services ETF (NYSEArca: VOX). VOX holds 70% of assets in its top 10 holdings, with AT&T and Verizon each at 23%. The ETF has an expense ratio of 0.24%. The fund has also shown a 98% correlation with IYZ over the last three years.
- Focus Morningstar Communications Services ETF (NYSEArca: FCQ). FCQ is the smallest and most thinly traded of the three. Still, the fund boasts a cheap 0.19% expense ratio. This fund, unlike the other two, includes cable company holdings. Around 74% of the fund's total assets make up the top 10 holdings. The fund also has a higher weighting to high-quality companies, compared to IYZ and VOX.
iShares Dow Jones US Telecom
