NEW YORK — New owners at upscale Equinox could mean new opportunities for growth for the New York-based fitness chain.
In early December, North Castle Partners of Greenwich, CT, and J.W. Childs Associates of Boston signed a definitive agreement to sell Equinox Holdings Inc. for $505 million to The Related Companies, a New York City-based real-estate development firm that oversees a real-estate portfolio valued in excess of $15 billion. The sale is expected to close this month.
Equinox operates upscale fitness clubs in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and south Florida. Harvey Spevak will continue to lead Equinox as CEO and president, and the current Equinox management team will remain intact, The Related Companies said.
Related and Equinox aren't strangers to each other. In May 2005, Related founder and CEO Stephen M. Ross was appointed to the Equinox Board of Directors. The two companies have a luxury condominium project in the works on operate a new 35,000-square-foot club. At Time Warner Center, Related serves as landlord to the flagship 40,000-square-foot club and at E, a 6,000-square-foot elite training facility — the brand's sole invitation-only private gym.
"It's a breakthrough for something close to a strategic partner buying clubs," says Rick Caro, president of consulting company Management Vision. "Generally, we have a financial partner buying clubs."
The companies' respective customers have similar demographic and psychographic profiles, Related said. The partnership will provide strategic opportunities for both groups. Related will secure a well-known brand as an anchor tenant for current and future developments, which will enhance the quality of its amenities and facilities available to residents. Equinox will leverage Related's real-estate expertise and relationships to more efficiently secure sites, reducing its site identification and club development costs, the companies said.
Caro agreed that the sale would mean identification of club sites that Equinox wouldn't have known about otherwise and savings in development costs due to Related's expertise in architectural engineering and site development.
Beyond that, the two companies could share marketing opportunities since Related could create packages for residents and retail owners that would make it attractive for them to join Equinox, Caro said. The two could also join in a marketing campaign with a third party, such as the BMW campaign that Equinox tried.
"We're very excited about the future of Equinox with Related as our partner," said Spevak. "Given their expertise in the development and management of real estate holdings and their focus on lifestyle, Related will provide strategic value and facilitate the continued growth of the company."
Since 2000 when Spevak, North Castle and J.W. Childs purchased the club company, Equinox has opened 21 new clubs in four new markets and more than doubled its membership. Revenues have grown from $63 million in 2000 to $168 million for the 12-month period ended September 2005.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Feb 19, 2013.
QuestionHi. My daughter had a Coverdell IRA, which we planned to indirectly rollover into the Indiana 529 Plan. The balance of $4500 included $4200 in contributions and $300 in dividends earned. I was told we had 60 days to complete the rollover to avoid tax consequences.
What I''m wondering is, if we do the rollover, does the $4500 count toward a tax credit on our state taxes? If not, would we be allowed to just pay the taxes and penalty on the $300 in dividend earnings and open a new 529 account in order to get the credit? Thank you.
Yes, Indiana follows the Federal tax free treatment of rollovers so you could roll the Coverdell into a new Indiana 529. Howvever, effective January 1, 2010, rollover contributions to an Indiana 529 do not count towards the state tax credit. The credit in Indiana is 20% of the contribution up to $5,000 per year in contributions for a maximum $1,000 annual credit.
As you suggest, you could close the Coverdell IRA and pay the taxes and penalty on the $300 in earnings. You could open a new Indiana 529 and make the contribution in order to obtain the state tax credit on your Indiana return.
Keep in mind you will have to recapture the Indiana tax credit on subsequent Indiana tax returns if the account is terminated within 12 months from opening, or any nonqualified withdrawals are made to the extent of the Indiana tax credits previously claimed. If you use the funds as intended for the beneficiary's education expenses, then the recapture of the Indiana tax credit won't be a concern.

|"Self Portrait with Nudes in Background", oil on canvas, 2013
While absorbed with the female figure, portraiture is not Owen's prime concern. Rather, her concerns are primarily formal. Inspired by a variety of modernist art movements such as post-impressionism and German expressionism, Owen uses the model as a point of departure to explore the figure, creating a mood in her works through the placement, pose, and strongly accentuated forms of the model and using striking colours and manipulating paint for maximum visual impact. As stated by Owen in an interview with Alberta Culture in 1972:
I'm not a socially conscious painter or environmentally conscious painter. (My work)
entirely revolves around my own personal relations with other people.
Co-curated by Chris W. Carson and Shane Golby, Violet Owen: Modern Woman shows at the Visual Arts Alberta Gallery in Edmonton until January 31, 2015. The Visual Arts Alberta Gallery is open on Wed-Fri from 10 am - 4 pm and on Sat from 12 - 4 pm. The Gallery will be closed from December 21, 2014 through January 6, 2015.

2005 Ford Focus Mk2 Servicing
Shiplu posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I service my car (2005 Ford focus 1.6 Automatic) myself since last 4 years. I drive this car about 10K miles every year. Every 5000 miles * Change Engine oil and Filter * Change air filter Every 10,000 miles * Change spark Plugs Every year * Cabin pollen filter Is there anything else I'm missing or I should be doing? Any suggestions would be great. The car has done 58K miles so far. When does the cam belt or drive belt needs changing? Does it needs automatic transmission fluid and filter change at all? Many Thanks

I have taken the wheels off but the drums wouldn't come off! Looked at some youtube video, but there is no hole to put a bolt in and tight the bolt to take drums out.

I have just replaced my washer Jet with Ford Focus MK4 Mist / Spray type heated washer Jets from eBay as they are really cheap aroun £3 each. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Ford-Focus-Mk4-2011-Onwards-Heated-Front-Washer-Jet-Spray-Type-x1-/220849176475?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item336ba2ff9b They have a special rubber gasket that stops water leak, and they are really cool as these sprays water as mist into whole windscreen and saves a lot of screenwash. Definitely worth upgrading. These are for MK4 Focus but fits really well in MK2 and MK3 as they are exactly same size etc.

Really easy to take the headlights off and back cover off, just one screw and few clips. Take extra time and care if you need to remove the cable connector. Place a tower underneath the headlight when pushing back the clips of back cover during refitting.
I have MK2 Focus and have HID all round. Black ST Xenon Headlights fitted, however they have D1S bulbs, so I bought 6000K D1S bulbs from ebay and matched the same 6000K H8 for fog light. You need to open the back cover of your headlight and check if they are D1S or D2S, and then you can order them from eBay as they are really cheap in eBay, Factory bulbs are not 6000K, they are 4300K and that's why the colour doesn't match. Search in google image for D1S and D2S and you will see the difference between D1S and D2S. Once you are sure, you can order the correct one.
I have same problem with my Focus MK2 1.6 I had to take off rocker cover, then strip off all rust and painted with Engine Paint to prevent further rusting. Also replaced the rocker cover gasket. BTW, when I took off rocker cover, few middle bolts snapped off because of rust. But its fine without these bolts as long as you have new gasket. Also created a DIY engine cover from fire resistant plastic as water leaks from windscreen washer jet goes directly to spark plug hole. See attached files
You can find em in eBay, search for LEDayline These are universal not MK2 specific, you have to cut the front bumper and fix it from inside, not that hard, fairly easy as long as you have a drill and jigsaw. However it is hard to find a positive wire that come on with ignition and goes off when ignition is off, there is a point in engine compartment fuse box, you have to find it with multimeter.
I have fitted genuine Hella Ledayline DRL in my focus, they looks really cool, extremely bright even in very bright sunlight. They have option to dim to 30% brightness when sidelights comes on. Otherwise you can't leave them on full brightness at night as oncoming traffic will go mad and almost everyone will flash at you. I had that experience the first day i fitted it without connecting the dim cable to sidelight :D They are really easy to fit, but the only downside is very expensive, but worth every single penny of it.... Also have a second DRL (see picture) cheap ones from Ebay ... fitted in 45 degree angle. Replaced the headlights with genuine Ford Xenon headlights with 6000K D1S bulbs and also fitted 6000K xenon in Fog lights. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/dsc03091l.jpg/
2005 Focus 1.6 Aircon Grinding Noise
Shiplu posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Guys, I'm trying to find out the cause of grinding noise that comes from engine bay while I turn on Aircon on my 2005 ford focus MK2 1.6 auto Zetec climate. Aircon works fine. Howevere I can hear the grinding noise from inside the car and the noise increases and decreases with the engine rev and speed, any idea what could be the cause of the issue? Could it be the AC clutch? If yes how can I replace it? Could it be a bad bearing as the noise is grinding noise like this one below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDykOdcwTDc&feature=related Thanks in advance!
What is core plugs between the spark plugs? I think there is something between two plugs on each side and looks really rusty and have more water on it.
Ya i know about the water jet issue and i have made a DIY engine cover, but its not the washer jet leak, its pink coolant that worries me!
Coolant Leaking In Spark Plug Hole
Shiplu posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Guys, Any idea from where Pink Coolant is very slowly Leaking and filling up spark plug hole in 2005 1.6 Ford Focus Zetec Climate Auto? Could it be rocker (valve) cover gasket? Or something elese? This is causing rust in cylinder head where spark plug fits. Ccan it lead to a serious problem?

I've always been interested in everything is made to help people in getting the best from technologies, making products more and more powerful but at the same time easier.
Drupal 6.0 is going to be more than a Content Management System, so the news that the Release Candidate 2 of Drupal 6 is ready to be tested is fantastic for me.
The idea behind the sixth version is to develop a complete framework and, honestly this is what I'm waiting for in order to start a new, big project that I've been preparing for one year.
I'm very curious to see the final release of Drupal 6.0 and everybody here at wePromite events, our social network wish the Drupal staff all the best.
Keep up the good work!!!

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) really knows how to drum up buzz ahead of a launch.
Continue Reading Below
For the second time in a month, the company is expanding its Explorer Program for still-in-beta Glass, allowing anyone in the U.S. to purchase the device for $1,500 ahead of its full rollout later this year.
"We learned a lot when we opened our site a few weeks ago, so we've decided to move to a more open beta," the Mountain View, Calif.-based tech darling wrote on Google Plus late Tuesday.
Google was sure to note, however, that Glass is still in beta mode as it sorts out kinks and perfects the device's hardware and software.
IHS senior director Andrew Rassweiler says the Google Glass of today still feels "like a prototype," but that chip makers are expected to offer more integrated chipsets that will "greatly improve" the device's performance, processing, weight and size once it is mass marketed later this year.
"The design employs many off-the-shelf components that could be further optimized," he said. "Future product revisions are sure to make strides in all of these areas."
Google, which until recently has been very selective about the Explorers Program, uses feedback from early adopters to improve the device.
It has been expanding the program in recent weeks ahead of the full rollout later this year, a sign that the company is growing more confident in the finished product.
Widening the program also allows Google to get buzz surrounding the launch swirling – a PR move that has generated significant press and encouraged some consumers with extra cash to order the intelligent glasses ahead of the mass market.
In October, it launched an official waitlist for the program. In mid-April, it offered a single-day promotion for Glass for $1,500. And now, it is offering the shades to anyone for as long as supplies last.
The $1,500 Teardown
It's unclear whether Glass will officially enter the market at the $1,500 price point.
A new report from IHS (NYSE:IHS) values the hardware and manufacturing costs for Google Glass at just $152.47. However, the groundbreaking technology is worth much more than that.
"As in any new product -- especially a device that breaks new technological ground -- the bill of materials cost of Glass represents only a portion of the actual value of the system," said Rassweiler, who oversees IHS's cost benchmarking services unit.
This is true of most new electronic devices, but IHS says the point is "most dramatically illustrated' in Google Glass, where the vast majority of costs are tied up in non-material expenses such as engineering and development not included in IHS's $152 manufacturing price tag.

Dynasty Warriors has always been a "safe" game franchise. If you pick up a DW title, you can be pretty sure you are going to be hacking your way through wave after wave of defenseless soldiers. Every Dynasty Warriors title follows pretty much the same formula. Kill some dudes, capture some territory, kill a boss, and repeat. So the only thing setting these games apart is the window dressing used to frame the entire conflict. So far this year we have done the Dynasty Warriors thing with warriors in ancient Greece, samurai in Japan, and our good old friends from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Now we have my personal favorite—giant robots—in the recent release of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3.
The story of DWG3 should be familiar to anyone who has read or written bad fanfiction in the past. All the Gundams and Gundam pilots across the many Gundam universes have been transported to a mysterious alternate dimension. In this strange warped world, they have nothing better to do than form alliances and kick the crap out of each other. To the story's merit, the game does a good job at smudging the line between good and evil. You see, each character experiences the events of the story in a different way. There are over fifty characters to unlock, and when you play as one of the villains you realize they aren't as crazy as you once thought.
But you really won't be paying attention to the story in DWG3. Instead, you'll be focusing primarily on the gameplay, and the characters take center stage there as well. Not only will you be unlocking characters as you go along, but you will be leveling them up as you complete missions. The game has that familiar almost-an-RPG feel to it, with money and experience being earned rather quickly until the endgame. You can actually use your money to increase your characters' stats by training them in DWG3, and this is great way to get low-level characters caught up to ones you've used the whole game, or to push your main characters to even further levels of absurdity.
However, characters aren't the only thing you have to take into account in DWG3. You can also mix and match the giant robots they pilot, and there are over seventy to collect. At the beginning, characters are limited to using the Gundam they start with, which is usually the Gundam they pilot in their anime of origin. However, defeated enemies have a chance to drop "plans," which allow you to build their Gundams for yourself and take them for a spin.
Each Gundam has its own stat layout and a limited number of "upgrade slots" that you can use to alter those stats. You can find better plans with better stats for a Gundam you already have, giving the game an almost Diablo-like loot-quest feel to it. Each Gundam also has a limited list of pilots that can use it, but you have the option to buy "liscenses," which allow other members of the cast to climb into the cockpit. Eventually, you will be mixing and matching pilots to Gundams in order to make your own personally designed killing machine.
The core gameplay of DWG3 is, as I said before, pretty much the same as every other Dynasty Warriors game that has come before it. You control a leader in one army facing off against another army. A.I. troops and fellow generals will continuously travel about the map, facing the enemy in any territory they enter. Like a good anime character, it's up to you to turn the tide of battle by applying your crowd-killing prowess in the right place at the right time. Kill enough peons while staying in a territory long enough and you'll capture it. Capture enough territories, and you eventually will go up against the enemy's generals. If you defeat their generals and capture their base, you win. But if the same happens to you, then you lose.
DWG3 mixes the formula up a little by adding unique territories to the mix that give you a special benefit when you capture them. For example, one of these territories acts as a teleporter, allowing you to get around the map at high speeds. Another gradually heals your troops and fellow generals. There are even missile bases that, when captured, periodically rain burning death upon your enemy's territories. To succeed in any given mission, it pays to study the map and go for these key territories first, because if your enemy captures them, you could soon have burning death raining upon your own troops.

I have so much to write on this topic, I'll take the first pot shot at RGB ;-) XML is evil. Well, evil for this. Ganglia does consume a significant portion of resources. I've heard first-hand reports of 20% CPU. (Admittedly before they figured out what was happening and turned the reporting list and frequency way down.) When we found that we needed to support Ganglia, I grumbled mightily and set out to figure out why it was so bad. Deep in its black heart I found the source of evil: XML. And not just the detailed evil of the syntax, the evil power had seeped into the higher level architecture with needless flexibility.[*1] The only way to remove the evil from Ganglia was to rip out its heart. I wrote a simple translator that read the statistics from our BeoStat subsystem and generated the final Ganglia XML. This eliminated the heavy-weight reporting daemons on compute nodes and multiple rounds of generating and parsing XML, while keeping Ganglia's familiar RRD-based display system. Those familiar with BeoStat might point out that it does not have the same functionality. It doesn't report everything that Ganglia can. That's exactly the point of BeoStat -- it reports only the essential state, status and statistics for nodes. And it reports the same items, every time and in every installation. It's much more easily used by tools because they can count on which values will be reported, and the update frequency. Static values are gathered once a "node_up" time, and changing values are updated once per second while the node is up. BeoStat is used by multiple schedulers, mappers, stat displays (e.g. Ganglia) and GUIs. It's an essential part of the Scyld architecture and reflects it design philosophy -- minimizing operational overhead on the compute nodes, while simplifying and unifying the cluster. We use a single reporting daemon per compute node, and the results are gathered together and published at one place -- master nodes. As usual, the devil can lurk in the details. So we wrote a system, drowned it in holy water, and re-wrote it. Several times, until it rinsed clean. The results are reported as a UDP packet that fits in a single Ethernet frame. This eliminates the issues with TCP, and allows optionally switching to multicast[*2], although the default is to unicast to the master node[*3]. They are small because the parsing, scale correction and structure packing is done on the compute node. The packets are sent once per second, each packet has a 'timespec' timestamp, and each is further timestamped on reception. This handles reporting aperiodicity, wall-clock skew, and allows liveness determination. (But don't assume a node is dead if its BeoStat timestamp is old. We use an separate TCP-based node management system for that.) The receiving side is similarly carefully designed. In order to scale to thousands of nodes without falling behind it has a streamlined receive path. It reads the packet, verifies the header, and copies the packed stats directly to a public readable shared memory region. Each node has two stats slots. This allows calculating rate and rate-of-change info, while the single writer and receive-side timestamp eliminates locks. By putting the results in a world-readable shared memory region any tool can efficiently map in and use the stats, either through the library or directly. Again with the details: the whole core system is written in C, calling only basic library functions in a single-threaded process. There isn't any interpreter layer, function calls that take an arbitrary amount of time, or garbage collection. Those features usually don't cause problems, but this is vital functionality and "usually don't" isn't as good as "never". Hmmm, that ended up a longer description than I intended, for just one narrow aspect of our system. There is much more to designing an efficient cluster system -- but those details will have to have to wait for the next post. [*1] Yes, you read that correctly. The 'do anything, in multiple ways' nature of XML encourages projects to not make the hard design decisions up front. Just like on SourceForge when a pre-alpha project describes itself as "a framework that aims to..." [*2] BeoStat was originally designed as a multicast system. The concept was that each node could optionally gather and maintain its own stats table. This turned out to be a bad idea: multicast turns unreliable just when you need it the most, switches discard multicast traffic unpredictably, and multicast reception results in scheduling interference. All of this to build a table that nothing on the compute nodes cares about. [*3] Recently the guys at GaTech suggested that we change from the simple UDP destination address (which gives us a choice of unicast, multicast or broadcast) to a list of (presumably unicast) destinations. This adds a trivial amount of packet construction overhead and code complexity, while giving us many of the advantage of multicast. We can have multiple head nodes that understand the cluster, spreading the reporting workload and providing redundancy. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Penguin Computing / Scyld Software www.penguincomputing.com www.scyld.com Annapolis MD and San Francisco CA

Justin Bieber Talks About Getting Engaged
Justin Bieber seems totally taken with his lady love Selena Gomez and why wouldn't he be? She's a stunner. However, he's 18 and she's 19, yet the media is trying to fast track their relationship and push them into an engagement. The Biebs actually spoke about the concept of marriage to a French newspaper.
Even with media pressure and speculation, The Biebs confirmed the obvious – that he is not ready to get married. While he has embarked on an adult rite of passage by buying a home, he isn't at the point where he wants to put a ring on anyone's finger yet. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't love his GF!
"No, I'm too young" was his reply to La Parisien's inquiry (quotes courtesy of Press Party) into his relationship with Gomez and whether or not it would go to the next level any time soon. He continued, "One day, I will get engaged, when I have found the right person in five or 10 years. It doesn't mean Selena is not the right person though! She's going to kill me if I say that!"
Aw, that's what makes him a good 'Boyfriend,' that he clarified his statements so Gomez didn't get her feelings hurt. Judging by the photos and how into each other they are, Sel does indeed look like "the right one" even if they aren't betrothed yet.
The Biebs also discussed how hard it is to have a relationship in the public eye. He said, "It is not easy to be so young and to have a relationship with someone that doesn't stay private. But, well, I am a public personality, it is what I wanted, so I have to deal with it."
The singer has a very mature way of looking at the price and pitfalls of fame as it pertains to his relationship.
Selena Gomez is one lucky gal.

U.S. companies that certify to the Safe Harbor program voluntarily agree to adhere to the Safe Harbor privacy and security standards, which, in some respects, are more stringent than current U.S. requirements for privacy and security. The seven Safe Harbor Principles that Energizer has certified to uphold are: Notice, Choice (Consent), Onward Transfer, Data Integrity, Security and Enforcement. You can learn more about the Safe Harbor program and the requirements that Energizer and other companies that have certified must uphold at: http://export.gov/safeharbor/ and can also view Energizer's Safe Harbor certification form on file with the U.S. Department of Commerce through that website.

The third parties who may have access are those assisting us with or co-sponsoring our website fulfillments, such as for purposes of filling orders or processing payments. We do not share a child's information with blogs or other sites where the information would be publically accessible.
If Energizer should inadvertently collect information from a child under the age of 13, we delete that information, except to the extent needed to seek Verifiable Parental Consent from the minor's parent or legal guardian.

Updated: January 2015
© 2015 Energizer, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
This Safe Harbor Website Privacy Policy contains the principles that Energizer Holdings, Inc., including its subsidiaries and affiliates in the United States (collectively referred to in this Policy as "Energizer"), apply to personal data transferred to them, which pertains to or otherwise identifies residents of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.
The Safe Harbor Framework is an international data privacy and cross-border personal data transfer program established by the United States Department of Commerce, in consultation with the European Commission and the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner of Switzerland. The program allows companies in the U.S. such as Energizer to self-certify their compliance to the standards under that framework. Companies that do so (including Energizer) are considered by the EU, EEA and Switzerland to have adequate privacy and security safeguards in place such that they can receive access to personal information pertaining to residents of those countries without first having to fulfill another data transfer method as provided in their data protection laws. They are also recognized to be among the top U.S. companies for privacy and security compliance.
Energizer's Safe Harbor certification encompasses personal data pertaining to Energizer's human resource, compliance, customer and supplier business activities, which relates to residents of the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and which is accessible to Energizer's US affiliates.
The Safe Harbor framework requires companies that certify (such as Energizer) to uphold seven Safe Harbor principles:
Notice: Consistent with legal requirements, Energizer informs EU, EEA and Swiss residents about the purpose(s) for which it collects and uses their personal data, the types of third parties who will be given access to the data; the choices and means offered to individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their personal data, and how to contact Energizer for any questions or complaints.
Choice (Consent): Energizer processes personal data pertaining to EU, EEA and Swiss residents in accordance with the purposes for which the information was originally obtained or later authorized by the individual, and not for separate purposes unless authorized or required by law. When consent is required from the individual, and in accordance with its legal obligations, Energizer provides those individuals with the opportunity to withdraw consent at any time ("opt-out"), in which case their data is not further processed.
Onward Transfers: Energizer obtains written assurances from any third party entrusted with personal data pertaining to residents of the EU or Switzerland, which confirm that the third party is capable of and will uphold an equivalent level of protection for the data. These assurances may be inferred from organizations that are located in a country that has received an "adequacy" determination from the European Commission or from those that have independently certified to the Safe Harbor program for the type of personal data that they will receive from Energizer (assuming that their certification is and remains in good standing).
Security: Energizer takes reasonable steps to protect personal data pertaining to EU, EEA and Swiss residents from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Data Integrity: Energizer takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal data pertaining to EU, EEA and Swiss residents is accurate, complete, current and otherwise reliable and relevant in relation to the purpose for which the information was obtained.
Access and Correction: In accordance with the Safe Harbor program requirements and taking into account legal limitations that may apply, Energizer permits reasonable access by EU, EEA and Swiss residents (after proper authentication) to the personal data collected and held about them by Energizer, with the accompanying right to correct their information for accuracy, if necessary. There are certain limitations to the access and correction rights, as set forth in the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor materials. That information can be reviewed on the U.S. Department of Commerce's website at www.export.gov.
Enforcement: Energizer has established internal mechanisms to verify its ongoing adherence to this Policy and to ensure appropriate enforcement for violations, in a manner consistent with the Safe Harbor program requirements. Individuals who have concerns about this Policy or about the manner in which Energizer is processing their personal information under its Safe Harbor certification are encouraged to contact the Energizer Legal Department at the Energizer Headquarters address below. Energizer will attempt to resolve any concerns through its dispute resolution process, but in the event that it is unable to do so, it has also agreed to participate in the Safe Harbor dispute resolution process established by the EU and Swiss Data Protection Authorities.
Limitation on Scope of Principles: Adherence to these Safe Harbor Principles may be limited to the extent required by any legal, governmental, national security or public interest obligation.
For additional information or any concerns, please email us at:
email@example.com, or write to us at: Energizer Legal Department, 533
Maryville University Dr., St. Louis, Missouri USA 63141 USA.

We all have our favorite keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+S (or Command+S on a Mac) saves, while Ctrl/Command+A selects everything. And don't forget Ctrl/Command+P to print.
There's a similar equivalent for your favorite social media websites, but you may not be as aware.
For example, you can start a new tweet by just tapping the letter n. And you can comment on a Google Plus post with the letter r. Keep in mind, these shortcuts are for twitter.com, facebook.com and plus.google.com. They may not work on third-party sites or apps, but that doesn't make them any less powerful.

We have a winner- and I've been tagged!
I hope everybody had a blessed Easter- we had Communion at our little church yesterday, and I always enjoy it so much... it's such a special service.
The biggest news today is to announce the winner of my drawing. So Hubby did his part, and the winner is...
Jennifer from JandJ Acres! Congratulations to her. I'll be putting 5 of the 6 items in my ETSY shop this week, as soon as she lets me know the item of her choice. Thanks to everyone that entered... this was so much fun for me!
My lovely blogging buddy Pam from over at Bear Creek has tagged me to tell 5 unusual things about myself, so here goes:
1. I have one sibling; a brother, and I am 11 years younger than him. (Can we say accident?)
2. I play this in a bluegrass gospel group....
3. I come from a large close family that include lots of aunts, uncles, 1st cousins, 2nd cousins. Here's the unusual fact- they all live within a 20 mile radius of each other. Same goes for Hubby's family.
4. When I wash my hair, I have to go outside to comb it out. Even if it's 20 degrees outside. I can't stand to have to clean up hair off the sink, countertop, floor, etc., so I just go outside.
5. I know people are trying to go "green" these days because gas is so ridiculously high, but this is what I drive because it scares people and keeps them from pulling out in front of me. (To heck with the fact it gets 12 miles to a gallon.)
Well, there you have it... Pam, I hope you're not sorry you asked! LOL

Lopez Eager for Fresh, Healthy Start with Hornets
WESTWEGO, La. (AP) - Robin Lopez says he's always seen himself as a defense-first big man who can grind out low-scoring games.
The 7-foot center suspects that's why the Hornets, with defensive-minded coach Monty Williams, made a trade with Phoenix to acquire him last month.
Lopez is currently rehabilitating from an operation to repair a torn meniscus on the same left knee that has bothered him since early in the 2010-11 season, when he went out for a month after then-Suns teammate Jared Dudley fell and rolled into him.
The 24-year-old Lopez says he's eager to start a season healthy and do so on a young but talented squad that is full of promise.
Lopez says he's also looking forward to defending the paint alongside top overall draft choice Anthony Davis.

Republican state Sen. Nichi Farnham has been running — literally — throughout Bangor and Hermon to convince voters in District 32 that she deserves a second term. Geoff Gratwick, her Democratic challenger, has been campaigning on his bicycle.
Farnham describes the race as a "healthy competition" between two candidates with different views. Democratic and Republican operatives, however, have ascribed some urgency to the race, along with dozens of others that could affect the balance of power at the State House.
At stake is a Republican agenda that has been laden with change and, at times, controversy.
The largest tax cut in state history was enacted, although not entirely paid for. A contentious overhaul of the state's health insurance laws was passed, along with a charter school bill and initiatives to ease regulation.
Now, Democrats see a chance in November to take back the Legislature, where Republicans hold a 77-70 edge in the House (two members unenrolled, two seats vacant) and 19-15 advantage in the Senate (one unenrolled).
This month, Farnham and four other Republican state senators were targeted in a television ad by the Maine Democratic Party. The ad was absent the collegiality Farnham used to describe her race. It dubbed them "rubber-stampers" of Gov. Paul LePage's "extreme agenda."
The decision to run the ad came after operatives crunched the numbers, evaluating party registration advantages, election results and other factors before identifying Farnham's seat as winnable.
Strategists in both parties have made similar calculations for other swing districts and battleground races. Video, radio and mail ads are queued. Outside interests with a stake in who controls the Legislature may be watching, too.
It's standard procedure every two years as parties vie for control of the State House.
This legislative election, however, is different.
Maine Democratic Party Chairman Ben Grant has described the battle for the Legislature as "one of the most important elections in the history" of the party.
"That's not hyperbole," Grant said.
Democrats aren't monopolizing the urgency. Republicans, who wrested full control of the Legislature for the first time in over three decades in 2010, say they've just started reforming state government. They argue that the initiatives were part of the voter mandate that swept the party into power in 2010. A divided State House in 2013 would blunt their electoral directive, said House Speaker Rep. Robert Nutting, R-Oakland.
"I just don't see Democrats supporting some of the things we want to do," Nutting said. "With this governor in office, it could be two years of not getting anything done. It could be gridlock just like we see in Washington."
For Democrats, stopping the Republican agenda, and specifically LePage, is the priority. They warn that two more years of the governor's unchecked rule will further slash the public safety net and lead to additional privatization of government services, dismantling of organized labor and economic policies that threaten the state's infrastructure and job growth.
"The governor's agenda takes us back on many things that our side has fought for and won over the (last 40 years)," Grant said. "This is a vital election for the Legislature."
There are 54 open seats — contests with no incumbent — in the House and 13 in the Senate this election. Some of those districts are considered swing districts, meaning both parties think they can win it. Some races with incumbents are also being targeted.
Grant told the Maine Sunday Telegram that the party is eyeing between 30 and 40 races in the House and Senate. Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster was more vague but said he was confident the party could grow its majority.
So where are the swing districts?
Party operatives aren't saying. However, publicly available party registration data and electoral history provide some clues. So can the history of money that has been directed to specific races to influence the outcome.
The numbers, however, can't predict outcomes or measure the candidates. The parties monitor a candidate's contact with voters, knowing that hard-working candidates can overcome preset disadvantages such as party registration.
Of the 54 open seats this year, 19 could be battleground races simply because of a narrow voter registration advantage.
Republicans hold seven seats in districts where they have no registration advantage. Three of them will be open contests this election — Districts 111 (Windham), 60 (Topsham) and 47 (Rockland).
The same goes for District 64, where Rep. Kim Olsen, R-Phippsburg, is seeking a second term against Democratic challenger Jeremy Saxton. Incumbents typically have the edge, but Olsen won the seat by just 74 votes in 2010. Democrats have historically won District 64, holding it for four straight terms prior to 2010.
Rep. Doug Damon, R-Bangor, could find himself in a dogfight in District 16. Damon is facing Democrat John Schneck, a former radio news anchor. Damon also resides in a district where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans.
Democratic House incumbents may also face tough re-election bids. District 109 Rep. Ann Graham, of North Yarmouth, lives in a district where Republicans outnumber Democrats 1,944 to 1,707. Graham, who narrowly won the seat in 2010, is facing off against Susan Austin, a former representative from Gray.
Democrats could lose seats they currently hold but are open races this year. Rep. Robert Hunt, D-Buxton, narrowly won District 131 by two percentage points in 2010. His would-be successor, Ronald Usher, must overcome a disadvantage to beat Republican Donald Marean: There are more registered Republicans in the district.
With more seats in play, a lot of attention will likely go to the House. However, the recent "rubber-stamper" ad shows that the Senate will have battleground districts, too.
Four of the five Republicans targeted in the ads reside in districts where Democrats have a registered-voter advantage.
In District 32, Democrats have a slight advantage. The party also won the seat in 2008. Gratwick has served three terms on the Bangor City Council. People there know him, but they also know Farnham, a school committee member and former mayor.
Similar tussles could unfold in Districts 15, 17, 22 and 25.
In District 17, Sen. Garrett Mason, R-Lisbon Falls, upended a Democratic incumbent in 2010 despite a disadvantage in registered voters. Mason said he'll have to run "like he's coming from behind" to keep the seat and defeat Democratic challenger Colleen Quint, a former assistant attorney general.
Sen. Tom Martin, R-Benton, starts his re-election bid at an immediate disadvantage. Registered Democrats heavily outnumber Republicans in District 25. However, Martin, who owns a contracting business, may be better known than his opponent, Colleen Lachowicz.
The caliber of opponents could also factor into the re-election bids of Sen. Lois Snowe-Mello, R-Poland (District 15) and Chris Rector, R-Thomaston (District 22). Snowe-Mello is being challenged by John Cleveland, who served terms in the Senate between 1990-1998. Rector is taking on Ed Mazurek, a well-known public figure in Rockland, the population center for District 22.
Even if Democrats pick up a few of those seats, they're poised to lose some elsewhere. The party isn't running a candidate in District 12, a seat held by Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham.
Sen. Phil Bartlett, D-Gorham, is departing District 6, leaving Democrat James Boyle to defend the seat. Boyle will face Republican Ruth Summers, who is considered a rising star in the party and who is married to Secretary of State Charlie Summers.
Other battleground races are as difficult to identify as the outcome of the election. In the end, both sides say, it's about the policies and the quality of candidates.
Democrats are hoping that LePage, a magnet for controversy, will assist their resurgence. The governor has already unintentionally helped with candidate recruitment, Grant said.
"A lot of people don't like what they see out of him and they're (more) willing to make the needed sacrifices to run for office," he said.
Republicans, meanwhile, are confident that their agenda is resonating with voters.
"I don't see any great change," Nutting said. "We'll probably trade some seats, but in the end we're looking to grow our majority."

It might be hard to imagine that something as simple as the chairs in your office could help boost your employees' productivity, but it's true: the best ergonomic office chairs can and will create a work environment that's more conducive to getting work done efficiently and well.
When employees sit in office chairs that aren't ergonomic, that is those chairs that can be easily adjusted and made to best fit the size and shape of the user so that they can move freely and naturally, discomfort leads to distraction and productivity falls by the wayside.
When you have ergonomic chairs for the people in your office, however, they can easily achieve the best or most comfortable working position, leading to better employee morale and productivity. Working from chairs and at desks that do not provide the best-possible fit can often cause physical injuries over the long-term. When employees have to take time from work to recover from these types of injuries, you and your business lose more time and money.
What's more is that when your employees know you care enough about their health and well-being that you wish to reduce their long-term risk of working in ill-suited office furniture by opting for ergonomic chairs and desks, you may find that they demonstrate their gratitude not only by being more productive but also through their loyalty.
Do something positive for your work environment! Equip your office with ergonomic chairs and recoup your investment quickly through improved work efficiency and a positive workplace morale. Call 888-302-DESK to learn more.

Gulf Stream Slowed 10 Percent in Little Ice Age - Study
Planetark.org, Nov. 30, 2006
OSLO - The Gulf Stream carrying warm water to the North Atlantic slowed about 10 percent in the Little Ice Age from 1200 to 1850, said a US study published on Wednesday that may give clues to the effects of modern global warming.
The report suggested natural shifts in the current might have affected climate in past centuries.
The Gulf Stream carries waters from the Gulf of Mexico and boosts temperatures in northern Europe by between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius (9 and 18 degrees Fahrenheit) compared with similar latitudes in Siberia.
Driven by winds and the earth's rotation and pushing heat towards the poles, the warmth it carries is equivalent to 2,000 times the electricity generating capacity of the United States.
"The strength of the Gulf Stream was about 10 percent weaker during the Little Ice Age," David Lund, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, told Reuters.
He and two colleagues studied sediment cores off Florida and the Bahamas, and found evidence of a weaker flow that may have contributed to the Little Ice Age from about 1200-1850, when Alpine glaciers grew and London's Thames River froze.
"The possibility of abrupt changes in Gulf Stream heat transport is one of the key uncertainties in predictions of climate change for the coming centuries," the scientists wrote in the journal Nature.
Lund said the slowing of the Gulf Stream in the Little Ice Age might have been caused by shifts in winds in the Atlantic. Causes of that shift were unknown with some researchers blaming changes in the sun's output.
Lund said the "jury is still out" on the future effects of global warming on the Gulf Stream. Many scientists say human emissions of greenhouse gases, mostly from burning fossil fuels, are heating the planet and could disrupt the current.
Some scientists speculate that a melting of the Greenland ice cap, triggered by global warming, could flood the North Atlantic with extra fresh water and slow the Gulf Stream, chilling Europe and parts of North America.
The Gulf Stream carries about 31 Sverdrups of water per second into the North Atlantic -- a Sverdrup is an imaginary cube with sides 100 metres (110 yards) long going past a fixed point. That makes the current 2,000 times the flow of the Mississippi River.
In the Little Ice Age, the current slowed by about 3 Sverdrups, the study showed. And at the height of the last Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, other studies have estimated that the flow slowed by 10-15 Sverdrups.
Lund said most studies of a possible slowing of the Gulf Stream linked to global warming focused on a cooling of Europe and North America.
However, a shift of winds linked to the current could cause disruption to rainfall in Africa or Central America.

Fire, Valium, Dentures: Job Interviews Gone Wild «
In case you need to be told, it's not a good idea to set fire to a newspaper during a job interview. Nor should you act out a "Star Trek" role, crash your car into the office building, or arrive in a jogging suit because you plan to go running later.
And yet, real, live people have done all of those things. In fact, these are just a few of the horror stories shared by hiring managers and human resources professionals in a national survey of interview blunders from the website CareerBuilder.com.
More stories of job-seekers gone wild: the one who popped out his dentures to illustrate a conversation about dental benefits; the one who asked for a hug; the one who called himself his own personal hero; and the one who admitted she "took too much Valium" before she arrived. (See the full list below.)
Of course, one might argue that leaving a lasting impression—however you manage to do so—could ultimately help a candidate stand out in a competitive field.
But that's not quite right, according to Michael Erwin, a senior career adviser at CareerBuilder. "People need to use more common sense here," he said. "Trying to stand out—or trying to be witty or funny—works to your disadvantage. You're remembered for the wrong reasons."
Once they stopped laughing, the 2,201 recruiters interviewed for the survey (which excluded government workers) recounted some more common gaffes they see in face-to-face meetings. At the top of list is "appearing disinterested," which 55 percent of respondents said is the worst thing a person can do. Erwin believes these candidates, more than simply being bored, are likely angling for a position in an industry they don't belong in or haven't researched thoroughly enough.
Other frequent demerits include failure to make eye contact, bad posture, and appearing arrogant. If you're worried about your handshake, don't sweat it too much—only 5 percent said a weak handshake was the worst mistake an applicant made.
Finally, if all else fails, try to pull yourself together for at least the first 15 minutes. A full 87 percent of respondents said they can that tell within that period whether the applicant is a good fit for the job.
The Most Memorable Interview Mistakes
Applicant warned the interviewer that she "took too much valium" and didn¹t think her interview was indicative of her personality
Applicant acted out a "Star Trek" role
Applicant acted like he was answering a phone call for an interview with a competitor
Applicant arrived in a jogging suit because he was going running after the interview
Applicant asked for a hug
Applicant attempted to secretly record the interview
Applicant brought personal photo albums
Applicant called himself his own personal hero
Applicant checked FacebookFB -1.56% during the interview
Applicant crashed her car into the building
Applicant popped out his teeth when discussing dental benefits
Applicant kept his iPod headphones on during the interview
Applicant set fire to the interviewer's newspaper while reading it when the interviewer said "impress me"
Applicant said that he questioned his daughter's paternity
Applicant wanted to know the number of the receptionist because he really liked her
Do you have a story of an interview gone wrong? Are you the one who took too much Valium? Share your story in the comments.

In Love with Night: The American Romance with Robert Kennedy
Thorndike Press, 2000 - Biography & Autobiography - 413 pages
More than three decades have passed since Robert Kennedy was assassinated seeking the Democratic nomination for the presidency. During that time a powerful legend has grown around him. It decrees that he would have quickly ended the Vietnam War, violence in the cities, and racial and social injustice across the land. Millions of Americans continue to believe that legend.
But would he have done what so many wanted from him? Is the Robert Kennedy legend just that - a legend based more on hope and longing than on reality?
Drawing on his interpretation of Kennedy's character, historian Ronald Steel examines the life against the legend.
With empathy, yet with skepticism, Steel holds up to scrutiny the three central elements of the Kennedy legend: the faith in a golden kingdom of Camelot that could be restored, the belief that he would have achieved the goals that liberals sought, and the hope that he would have united blacks and whites in common endeavor.

Author Notes: I'm a sucker for food surprises - chocolate cakes that hid a molten centre, chicken cordon bleu and its cheese and ham stuffing, Breads filled with chopped eggs and ham....and on and on and on.
This dish solidifies my love for the stuffed. And meat. And as you can imagine, it is Italian in every sense of the word.
Involtini in Italian means little bundles - it lends itself to many interpretations: parma ham stuffed with cheese and herbs and served as appetizers, small flat bits of steak filled with....cheese and spices too.
—Kitchen Butterfly
Makes: a large pan
1 piece of (aged) flank steak (Mine measured roughly 24cm by 16cm and was 3cm thick)
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs (or plain breadcrumbs flavoured with tyme, dried onion powder or herb mix of your choice)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup basil leaves
Green of 1 spring onion/scallion, chopped/snipped
2 -4 dried red chillies, snipped (2 for the herb paste and 2 for the sauce)
Microplaned zest of 1/2 a lemon
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
100g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
100g freshly grated provolone
3 - 4 cups marinara or pepperoncino sauce
Salt and freshly crushed black pepper to taste
- PREPARE THE STEAK: Butterfly your piece of steak by slicing it across to create two pieces. Reserve one for another use. Wrap one piece in cling film and pound it with a meat mallet or rolling pin till it is flattened and increased in size by 1/2 - 2/3rds of the original and is less than 1cm thick
- MAKE THE HERB PASTE & FILLING: by combining the basil leaves, chopped spring onion, 2 chopped dried red chillies and garlic cloves in a mortar and pestle and pounding till a chunky paste results. In a large bowl combine the remaining Parmesan cheese with the provolone, herb paste, dried oregano and half of the quantity of olive oil, reserving the other half to cook the steak.
- PREPARE THE BREADCRUMBS: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and 1/4 of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- MAKE THE ROLL: Spread the steak out on cling film, and season the inside with salt and black pepper, to taste. Make a sausage/place the herb paste - cheese stuffing along one length of the steak (cut the steak in half if it is easier to manage), then roll that, using the clingfilm to guide. Spread the breadcrumbs and gently roll the steak in the mixture till covered all over. Secure with skewers/toothpicks/kitchen string.
- COOK: In a medium - large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and when hot, add the steak(s) and brown for 8 - 10 minutes, ensuring the entire roll is bronzed. Add the marinara or pepperoncino sauce to the pan along with the remaining 2 dried chillies (broken) and bring to a simmer, ensuring the bottom is scraped and stirred. Simmer, stirring and turning occasionally (or it will burn) for an hour, or until the steak is cooked. If you think the sauce is getting too dry, add some water to thin, by the 1/2 cup.
- TO SERVE: remove the skewers and slice the meat. Serve with sauce and pasta or rice.
