'Save Yourselves!' Movie Review: A Quirky and Fun Distraction
Category: New Reviews
Written by Lupe R Haas
Save yourselves from watching endless negative news reports with a new movie that will distract you from what seems like the apocalypse. SAVE YOURSELVES! is just what the doctor ordered this week for some quirky end of the world fun.
From indie filmmakers Alex H. Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, SAVE YOURSELVES! stars "Glow's" Sunita Mani and John Reynolds ("Search Party") as a millennial couple in crisis who head to an isolated cabin in the woods outside Brooklyn to reconnect to each other and disconnect from their smart phones. By tuning out the world and their push notifications, they are unaware an alien invasion is threatening civilization.
Jack (Reynolds) and Su (Mani) are in a very relatable relationship that practically every couple will identify with. They struggle to interact with each other without a phone in their hands. The story certainly reminds you that we're in a relationship with our smart device rather than the person next to us.
The absurdity of the situation is entertaining. The viewer has more insight than the characters to the external forces at play. Part of the fun of the movie is waiting for the characters to realize what's going on. How they discover the aliens is also a hilarious sequence.
When they're on the run from the aliens, the central focus remains their relationship, and their hilarious reactions to the ever changing discoveries.
Writer/directors Alex H. Fischer and Eleanor Wilson told CineMovie (interview coming soon) the story was partly inspired by their own obsession with their phones in their relationship. It's no wonder that this on screen relationship feels very grounded and familiar. The characters and dialogue are quirky and fun.
It's not a cutesy romantic entanglement rather one based on friendship. Kudos to the filmmaker for also casting an interracial couple without addressing it in the story which should be the norm but sadly you rarely see it unless it has ties to the plot.
Sunita and John bring a lot of charm to their roles. Best known for "Glow" on Netflix, Sunita captures down to earth characters that you may know in real life. For a low-key story like SAVE YOURSELVES! you really need to be invested in this couple, and both actors reel you in.
When we finally discover the aliens, it's not what we expect when we hear the word "aliens." These "beings" are more creatures rather than aliens. To some, it may remind you of an iconic creature in GREMLINS or Sonic the Hedgehog which they joke about in the dialogue. Part of the charm of SAVE YOURSELVES! is the discovery of the aliens so I won't spoil any more.
The ending came as a surprise. There can only be two outcomes when faced with extinction from aliens so the resolution was a shocking surprise.
If you're looking for a sci-fi flick in the traditional sense, look elsewhere. The aliens are merely the backdrop for these character's journey as a couple. But if you're in the mood for some silliness, SAVE YOURSELVES! is a belly full of laughs.
Bleecker Street will release SAVE YOURSELVES! in theaters nationwide on October 2nd, 2020 and on digital October 6th, 2020.

Q: Can you use Win32 GUI in a browser plugin? Of course it would mean you're plugin is not cross-platform but let's focus on the technical side...
Is a browser plugin (like done in NPAPI) restricted in what it can do? Or do you get fairly free reign to access the PC and the render-window you're given? For instance can you create Win32/MFC controls in your browser this way?
A side question - is your browser plugin conceptually akin to a .DLL, which is therefore just arbitrary compiled code implementing a specific interface for browser control/communication?

A: There are 2 types of NPAPI plugins: windowed and windowless plugins. Both of them has some advantages and disadvantages (see this link). When you deal with windowed plugin on Win32 you get HWND of browser plugin window and you can work with it like with any window in OS.


Describing her mixed-race hair as "hard to manage", this client had tried glued-in human hair extensions before.
She said they didn't last long, felt heavy on her head and lots of them fell out. As a leading vocalist and performer, great-looking hair was important for her image so she turned to us for help.
After Mark Glenn Hair Extensions, she said they "felt amazing" saying she'd "always dreamed of my hair to be like this".


Monastic laurel oil will be the natural elixir of your hair. With rich concentration of vitamins and fatty acids, it is the ideal ally for good hair health and hair density. It naturally fights hair loss and dry skin.
Monastic Laurel oil is made from 100% natural ingredients according to a traditional recipe. With wisdom and passion, the monks of the Holy Monastery of St. Jacob Adelphotheos produce handmade therapeutic organic oils (bio).
Laurel oil is produced from bay leaf and olive oil extracts. Since antiquity it has been used as a natural cosmetic by men and women with excellent results, especially in the quality and health of hair.
Monastic laurel oil combines the beneficial properties of olive oil with the soothing, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of laurel. It has rich concentration of vitamins and fatty acids.
It prevents and fights microorganisms that damage the scalp. It acts as a protection shield against hair loss, protecting it from root to edge. Thanks to its softening and moisturizing properties, it strengthens the hair and gives a shiny effect to them.
The beneficial ingredients of laurel oil penetrate both the scales and the hair follicles found on the skin of the head. They energize them by activating the hair renewal mechanisms. Thus, its use prevents hair loss. It is ideal for treating dry and damaged hair. It helps to rebuild and revitalize the hair, giving it shine and health.
Use a quantity of laurel oil similar to the length of your hair. Apply each time from the hair roots to the edges, making massive circular movements for several minutes to activate the hair follicles. Then wrap your hair with a towel and leave them with laurel oil as much as you can. Then, wash your hair normally with your shampoo and rinse them with lukewarm water.
If you want a shorter treatment to shine and revitalize your hair, apply some laurel oil to their edges and let it act for at least 45 minutes. Then wash them.
The application of monastic laurel oil is made once a week.


Get into Know About Centrifugal Fan - Hangzhou Airflow Electric Appliances Co.,Ltd.
Centrifugal fan was invented by Russian military engineer Alexander Sablukov in 1832. It is mainly used in light industry. A centrifugal fan uses a rotating impeller that moves the air in two directions, first from the outside, and then to the tip away from the blade. The centrifugal fan usually has 6 different blade types that pull air into the entrance of the housing, push air over the wheel, and discharge it through the exhaust unit of the assembly at an angle of 90 degrees.
The centrifugal fan produces relatively high pressure when the air moves outward from the blade hub to the tip of the blade. They are often used in heavy environments that contain large amounts of water and particulates. The term squirrel cage fans and blowers are often interchangeable because this configuration resembles the hamster wheel. The kinetic energy produced by rotating blades is used to increase the pressure of the air flow and then used to drag over the dampers, ducts, and other components.
A covered radial blade blower wheel used to transport large quantities of air under high pressure and used in blowing systems with extended pipe or pipe work.
A centrifugal fan with an open radial blade with a backing blower; used for conveying granular or powdered materials and fibers. An alternative design for particulate material transfer may also be an open paddle wheel without a backplane.
In a backward tilt wheel design, the plate is mounted around the circumference of the plate in the same configuration as the airfoil or the wing of the aircraft. They are used for ventilation, HVAC and dust collection systems.
The forward curve multi impeller is used to deliver larger volumes of air at slightly pressure, and is also used for HVAC units operating at slower speeds.
The final wheel configuration is bent backward, the radial blower wheel is actually modified by the open blade wheel, but the performance is greatly improved. It can really be used for conveying granular materials.


The first season of This Is Us became the biggest hit series to premiere last year, and the ensemble drama is gearing up to make just as big a splash with its upcoming second season. The This Is Us Season 2 promo poster was just released, giving fans their first look at where the Pearsons are at in the new season. The poster shows the series' various main characters in vastly different emotional states in a grid, also featuring our first look at the teenaged versions of Kevin, Kate, and Randall.
The poster offers some welcome, uplifting looks at the Pearson clan, following a rather depressing end to the first season. As a reminder, the Season 1 finale included a heaping helping of grief for viewers, as Kevin bid farewell to Sophie for a movie role, Randall quit his job and found out his father William had died, and Kate tearfully admits she feels responsible for her dad's death. But perhaps most heartbreaking of all for fans of the show is the rift in Rebecca and Jack's relationship, and the inevitability of Jack's death coming in the new string of episodes.
But in the new Season 2 poster, most of the Pearsons look super happy. Kevin is back with Sophie and has a huge smile, and Rebecca and Jack look like nothing horrible happened between them at all. Heck, even William is back and grinning with Randall's kids. But the crushing sadness This Is Us has become known for comes in the stills of Kate, who is crying in Toby's arms, and Randall, who is being consoled by Beth.
The emotion-filled poster is actually a perfect representation of the hit drama, which has come to be known for its penchant for blending joyful family moments with heartbreaking, cry-inducing scenes for viewers. Season 2 of This Is Us will premiere on NBC on Sept. 26.


I saw them at the ice show and agree, they do sound loud and look like they are poorly made. I passed as I will bet many did, it is a good idea but I don't think that model is going to be the next big thing.
I keep mine in a 6gal bucket with fish tank air pumps. I just keep them outside and change the water every other day. There will allways be a few that die but thats out of around 100 or so minnows in there. I can norm keep shiners a week this way and fatheads&suckers I keep for weeks at a time. I usually go fishing every weekend and its nice to not have to buy bait each time, but this year with this bad ice I haven't gotten out as much. As stated earlier, the key is clean and very cold water to keeping them alive.
I'm glad it's not just me. I have the exact problems that you guys have been experienceing. I thought that this problem was fixed allready but I guess not yet.
I have been having a hard time connecting and when I do it takes forever do down load each time I click. If you can get online before 4pm its not too bad but after that its hit and miss.
I have a otter for my portable and wouldn't trade it for another brand. Like the preveious statement said the fabric is thicker and tougher, plus you get a ton of storage space in the lodge sled. I have had mine for 5yrs now and never had a problem with it at all.
I say a flasher also. I just got a aqua view srt from my wife and it is great no dought. If I had to choose one for all around use, I think you can get more bang for your buck with a flasher. Later if you have some extra cash just laying around I would highly recommend the camera. The camera is really nice to have and you can learn alot from it, but I would rate it second to a flasher.
I saw the lakemaster booth at the ice show and only remember a few new ones. upper red lake, big sandy, and bowstring are the only ones I can remember. They had about 15-20 new lakes they did this past summer from what I saw. I bought a new had held gps and will be buying the new chip when it comes out later in the winter for sure.
I run a jiffy model 30 with a 10 in. auger. It is a heavier auger no dought but I love it. I like to be able to look down the holes so I run the 10in. If you are just panfishing or like to do alot of hole hopping outside get a smaller lighter unit. I might get a smaller used one for just that reason to use in my portable, and keep the 10in for my retractable wheel shack.
I recently picked up a Aqua view SRT and am looking foward to using it. It has the lights to use at night, but alot will depend on water clarity. I haven't used it ice fishing yet, but I will be very soon. I'll post how it performed after my 1st trip.
I have 6 lindells in my ice shack and have had them for 2 yrs now and love them, never had a problem with them once. I bought mine at the ice show and got a pretty good deal when I bought all six at once. They still are a little pricey compared with the ones you find in most stores but they are worth it in my opinion.
Lake of the Woods or Devils Lake?
I'll put my vote in for LOW also. I love fishing up there, there is normally plenty of biters around and it is just a great experience every time I go up.
That really gets me in the mood for some ice fishing, just as soon as hunting is done!
I also will go with a spud bar. if you can make two hits your safe uaually. Sometimes I will push my otter sled ahead of me also with my gear to test and if I need to I could jump in and prob use it as a boat if needed.
I hunted up by pine city and it was slow for me. We saw alot of birds early then not many after shooting time. We got off a few shots and no birds to show for it. There were alot of people around us and most were sky busting on stuff that was 3or 4times out of the furthest range of a shotgun. I need to find some better places to hunt, all you do is scare the birds away for everyone and yourself when you spend all day sky busting on birds, but what can you do. Hopefully we will have better weather and better hunting next weekend.
Wild wings in Harris, mn which is about 45mi north of st paul right off 35. In my oponion the best taxidermist in the state, he will make your fish ( the whole fish, all sides) look better than when it came out of the water. I have had a few fish done there and highly recommend them.

Letter: Contribute to 'Stamp out Hunger' food drive
Submitted by Casscounty1 on Wed, 05/10/2017 - 9:00am
Saturday, May 13 marks the 25th anniversary of one of America's great days of giving -- the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Letter carriers drive through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many, hunger.
So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect nonperishable food donations from our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Cass County who need our help.
Last year, we collected over 80 million pounds of food nationally, feeding an estimated 64 million people.
Over the course of its 24-year history, the drive has collected 1.5 billion pounds of food, thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the entire nation, including Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Fate of key transparency bills is uncertain

"Life's Dues"
The creation below started as a column for writer Dan O'Connor of Nevada. Dan is a native of Tipperary Ireland, been in America a wheelbarrow load of years. He wrote a column for the paper, submitted it, they rejected it. Dan was discouraged, just canned it, then sent it to me. I looked it over, it had much good, some bad -- I could see why the paper rejected it. I took out the beer drinking and Irish Pubs and racy women, rearranged many lines, added words, sent it back, he was amazed. He said "It's now yours." I said, "no, it's 'ours.'" For my column, I added three lines, September, my dear sister Ophelia in Nevada, and my niece the girl named Sue in Nevada, who is dying of cancer. The story below could be your story, or mine. Anyone's, really. Enjoy. Oh, yeah, "Mama" was one of my additions also. Angie will like that.

From time to time, it's probably a good idea to keep you up to date on the various programs and services that L-KCISD provides. Like all businesses, the education business must constantly watch its finances and operations. We are proud to say that L-KCISD is in fine shape financially. This past year, the district was able to put about $150,000 back into its fund balance. In order to put money back at the end of the year, a district must operate in such a way that serves students and staff but at the same time is mindful of its spending. We are also proud to let you know that we had a clean audit that included receiving a perfect score of "100" on the statewide financial accountability system the state uses for school districts.

I keep going back to the Open Air Art Museum in Montreal. I think the reason that this mural caught my eye is because I love books. In our house, books are sacred and you take care of them. This mural was created close to University of Montreal. It pays homage to the poets and authors of the city.

Daughtry on success, 'Idol' and his fans
Chris Daughtry sounded a bit bleary the day after the recent American Music Awards, and for good reason. "Oh, yeah, we all celebrated," he said, still basking in the glow of three AMA wins for his namesake band. This year, they all had plenty to rejoice about.
by By GARY GRAFF, Billboard, Daily News
Chris Daughtry sounded a bit bleary the day after the recent American Music Awards, and for good reason.
"Oh, yeah, we all celebrated," he said, still basking in the glow of three AMA wins for his namesake band. This year, they all had plenty to rejoice about.
Following the singer's fourth-place finish on the fifth season of "American Idol," Daughtry's self-titled RCA debut became the fastest-selling rock debut album in Nielsen SoundScan history - and its 2.287 million copies made it the top-selling album by an artist in 2007.
"Daughtry" topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks and the Top Rock Albums chart for 14. It's spawned six singles so far and is up for four Grammy Awards, including rock album and best rock song for "It's Not Over."
All of this has made the 13 months since the album's release the proverbial whirlwind, and the title of the hit "It's Not Over" certainly rings true as Daughtry prepares to hit the road in 2008 with Bon Jovi.
Suffice to say he's had no second thoughts about turning down that offer to join Fuel.
Q: What's your take on the success Daughtry had in 2007?
A: It's a little bit of a shock. We're still a very new band to the industry, so every time we go to these events we kind of feel like the freshmen in high school, not really affiliated with the big, successful artists. And now we feel like we've graduated a little bit. We were certainly new to the industry, but getting recognized for your hard work is a pretty big deal.
Q: Starting to think about February at all?
A: Well, we'll see how it goes at the Grammys. Hopefully [the AMAs] were something of a . . .
Q: Harbinger?
A: Yeah, yeah. Maybe. That would be a really cool thing. But we're still on a high from [the AMAs], so we're going to just kind of hold onto that for a while.
Q: Any thoughts about why everything took off for you?
A: I'm really not sure, to be honest with you. The only thing I can really attribute it to is the fan base. They're certainly very diehard and loyal to us, and they've continued to buy our record. They've continued to come to our shows.
It doesn't matter how good you are as a band or how good your music may be; if the fans aren't supporting it and buying your music, it's hard to make it. So they're the ones that are making it for us.
Q: What is it about you they like so much?
A: I guess they see us as regular dudes. We're just normal guys who are doing what we've always wanted to do and what we love to do. These are five guys who worked hard to get where they are. And they're not letting it to go their heads.
Q: Does the world know Daughtry is a band as opposed to Chris Daughtry's band?
A: I think the majority of the people get it. Obviously our fans totally get it and know it's not a one-man show, and I think everybody else is catching on. We've tried to make sure that it's known that it's not just me. I've never been a solo artist. When the band doesn't get the credit that they deserve, it kind of bums me out a little bit. They're working just as hard as I am, if not more, up there.
Q: Do you feel at this point that everything - you, the band, the album - has graduated from the "American Idol" world and taken on a life of its own?
A: Absolutely, 100 percent. On ["American Idol"], I wasn't able to do fully what I'm capable of; that was just, to me, a way of showing my voice off. This is a totally different thing. This is who we are - we're musicians, we write our music, and it's a totally different ball game.
Q: What's your perspective on "American Idol" at this point?
A: It changes from year to year. I don't have a solid opinion on it. I think it's a great tool for people to use. I mean, it's all about taking the opportunities that are in front of you and making the best of them and using them to your advantage.
I don't think it's cheesy one bit. I think it's cheesy if you're going to go on there and use gimmicks and not be yourself. But if you're going to go on there and you're going to be yourself and you think you have what it takes, I think it's a great opportunity to show that to the world. So I think the people that go on there have to take it seriously.
People see right through that stuff; the public aren't idiots. They're going to recognize something real when they see it. I think that's part of what happened with us.
Q: What's the plan for the next Daughtry album?
A: I can't really say at this point. It's a little early to tell. We're doing some writing when we have the opportunity, and we're going to be working on getting it out some time hopefully next year - when we get it right. *

Abstract: This paper presents a comparison of performance between a passive and an active anti-roll bar. Off-road vehicles are subject to large input road motion and appreciable lateral forces, making anti-roll bars desirable. A four DOF linear model is used to represent an independent suspension and to design the controller. For every case the performance is evaluated for severe road input perturbation and lateral acceleration. A method is presented to illustrate the compromise between stability and comfort inherent in passive anti-roll bar selection. This method was used to select a realistic anti-roll bar stiffness. The active anti-roll bar was designed using full state feedback optimal controller. A simplification of the active system is proposed to reduce the number of measurements and eliminate the need for an optimal observer. The results show a superior performance in ride and handling for the active controller in the frequency range of interest. The addition of filters is proposed to maximize controller efficiency and to reduce associated problems.

Titans earn 16-point win as 10-point underdog
Michael David Smith
The combination of the Titans being such big underdogs, and winning so easily, made Saturday night's victory in Baltimore a rare achievement in NFL history.
The Titans were 10-point underdogs and won 28-12. To win by 16 as a 10-point underdog is so rare that it was only the third time an underdog that big has won by that much in NFL postseason history.
The two previous instances when an underdog that big won by that much in the postseason were Super Bowl IV, when the 12-point underdog Chiefs beat the Vikings by 16, and the 2008 NFC divisional round, when the 10-point underdog Cardinals beat the Panthers by 20.
Hardly anyone saw the Titans' victory coming, and basically no one could have foreseen that the Titans would win in such convincing fashion. This was one of the most surprising results in NFL playoff history.

Free-Speech Protesters outside home of Twitter CEO shout Holocaust Denial tweets still on Platform
Activists protested at the home of Twitter's CEO, challenging his hypocrisy in allowing posts calling for genocide while banning President Trump. At the same time, Democrats are comparing Republican challenges to the actions of the Nazis in the Holocaust in a way that many find to be insulting forms of Holocaust denial.
Jack Dorsey: COVID Denial; Banned, Holocaust Denial; Not So Much
Jewish activists from the group End Jew Hatred protested outside the home of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Monday, screaming out and playing audi recordings of Holocaust-denying tweets. Dorsey lives in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco. The protest comes in the wake of the social media platform permanently banning the president of the United States.
Ironically, the group also protested Twitter's policy on Twitter.
Dear Twitter CEO @Jack Dorsey,
Holocaust-denying tweets run rampant on your platform.
Why do you allow Jew Haters to reach more people than Hitler?
RT to demand an answer from Jack!
— End Jew Hatred (@EndJewHatred) January 12, 2021
They also posted a video featuring many of the more egregious examples of Holocaust denial allowed on Twitter
Hey @jack Dorsey, this is the vile Jew-hatred you blast into our homes. How does it feel hearing it in yours? #EndJewHatred pic.twitter.com/CKkWC36DaP
"Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has banned so-called 'COVID-denial' on Twitter," an End Jew Hatred activist involved said. "So why does Jack Dorsey continue to give Holocaust deniers and Jew-haters a bigger platform today than Hitler had in his time?"
"Dorsey has banned the voices of political leaders he deems hateful. Yet he leaves on neo-Nazi material," said Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director of The Lawfare Project and End Jew Hatred founder and activist.
"If denying COVID and its 1.6 million victims is wrong – then denying the Holocaust and its 6 million victims is wrong," added Goldstein. "Jack Dorsey: it's time for you to end Holocaust denial and end Jew-hatred on Twitter."
Twitter Claims to Ban Holocaust Denial, But Not Really
In October, Twitter announced that they would be banning tweets that deny the Holocaust as part of their policies regarding hate speech and misinformation. The new policy would target posts that "deny or diminish" violent events, including the Holocaust. Two weeks later, Dorsey testified in front of the US Senate. Colorado Sen. Corey Gardner (R-Colo.) asked Dorsey, "Do you believe that the Holocaust really happened?". Dorsey answered in the affirmative. "So you would agree that someone who says the Holocaust may not have happened is spreading disinformation? Yes or no," Gardner asked, to which Dorsey again assented. "I appreciate your answers on this, but they surprise me,'"Gardner said. "After all, Iran's Ayatollah has done exactly this – questioning the Holocaust. And yet, his tweets remain unflagged on Twitter's platform."'
Dorsey explained that tweets were only flagged if they contain "misinformation" or "misleading" information regarding three different categories: manipulated media, public health, specifically COVID, and civic integrity, election interference, and voter suppression. Holocaust denial, according to Dorsey's explanation, is not included in any of these categories.
"We do not have policy or enforcement for any other types of misleading information that you're mentioning," Dorsey said, explaining that the company has separated policies prohibiting "incitement to violence."
"But for misinformation we're focused on those three categories only,' he said. When pressed on his company's policy that permitted the Ayatollah of Iran to call for the murder of every Jew living in Israel, Dorsey was nonplussed.
'We did not find those to violate our terms of service because we considered them saber-rattling, which is part of the speech of world leaders in concert with other countries,' he explained.
Dorsey went on to define the tweets by President Trump, many of which were flagged or removed, as being far more egregious than the calls to murder Jews en masse by a country with a nuclear program.
"Speech against our own people or a country's own citizens we believe is different and can cause more immediate harm," he said.
Democrats' Holocaust Denial
Many public declarations referring to the Holocaust have become frequent In the wake of the pro-Trump protests in Washington DC last week. Ex-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger published a video message on Sunday in which he compared the riots that breached the Capitol Building to Kristallnacht(Night of Broken Glass), a massive nationwide pogrom by the Nazis targeting Jews. Many historians see the events of that night as a watershed toward what evolved into the Holocaust. In the video, Schwarzenegger lamented his father's complicity in the Holocaust. But he went on to claim that President Trump's actions were far more egregious. Many rabbis and Jewish groups were critical of Schwarzenegger's video statements.
President-elect Joe Biden also compared Republicans to Nazis last Friday when he was asked how he regarded speeches by Cruz and Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley contesting the election irregularities.
"They're part of the big lie," Biden said. "Goebbels and the great lie. You keep repeating the lie, repeating the lie."
Cruz did not take kindly to the comparison, tweeting, ""Really sad. At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden's choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing. This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart."

Does a No remaining work flag on a operation/activity have a finish date associtaled with it.
I can get actual start date with an initial confirmation. But I am curious as to if there is there any actual finish date field associated with a "no remaining work" flag. We would like to run KPI's off of this instead of a CNF due to its inconsistent use. I can control the no remaining work flag for the field.
May be if they fill, this can be useful to take it.
2. Also in Table AFRU, there is a date field for Entered by, this will be filled based on the day confirmation is getting created.

IS ZUMIEZ GOOD FOR THE SKATE INDUSTRY?
April 24, 2019/ Larry Lanza/ ARTICLES/ Comments: 41
When we talk about the business of skateboarding, there's a huge orange elephant in the room. It's Zumiez, and with 698 locations spread across all 50 states and three continents, they're one of the world's biggest retailers (if not the biggest) of both skate soft and hard goods. Last year alone Zumiez sold $927 million worth of merchandise. With that kind of financial success, Zumiez undoubtably affects the way the skate industry works.
In the past decade or so, Zumiez has become somewhat of a venture capitalist in the skate world. They do this by investing in brands (small and large) by buying and selling lots of their products, and aiming to turn higher profits as the awareness and profiles of those brands rise.
But how does that involvement impact the skateboarding ecosystem? Are they fucking things up or making things better? Should you defecate on the floor of your local Zumiez? Before we can answer these questions, it helps to take a look at Zumiez's origins and understand how they became the giant skate retail chain they are today.
Zumiez opened in 1978 under a different name, Above the Belt. The two founders, Gary Haakenson and Thomas D. Campion, left their management positions at J.C.Penny to open their own store in Seattle, focusing on young men's and women's clothing and having nothing to do with skateboarding.
In the late '80s and early '90s, Above the Belt narrowed its market to chase what was popular. "It started with trends. All the hottest brands in the late '80s had surf and skate roots," said Stuart Martin, VP of marketing for Zumiez. That change would prove to be a financial win for Haakenson and Campion, but also unavoidable competition for skate shops.
Sometime in the '90s, the company was sued by a women's clothing store by the same name, so they had to rebrand. At the time Campion was reading a book about the Zuni tribe and wanted the new name to begin and end with a 'Z.' He asked people to try variations on "zoomiez" and someone came back with Zümiez. Campion dropped the umlaut and Zumiez was born.
Around the millennium, Zumiez launched an online store that helped them increase revenue, and as mainstream awareness of skateboarding increased through things like the X Games and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, they opened a bunch more stores. In 2002, the private equity firm Brentwood Associates bought 41% of Zumiez for $25.3 million, and three years later the owners made Zumiez a publicly traded company and raised $29.7 million in the initial public offering.
Today, Zumiez is one of a few publicly traded skate-related companies (Vans and Globe are among the others), and Zumiez 100k has essentially taken over Agenda as the number one skate industry social event of the year in America.
zumiez logos over time
Although Zumiez wasn't created inside the skate industry, it's very much a part of it. And as such it affects not only the business side — skate shoe brands, hard goods brands, skate shops — but consumers, communities, and skateboarding culture in general. Depending on who and where you are within the industry, Zumiez has the power to either help or hurt you.
When we interviewed DC Shoes founder Damon Way last year, he said didn't think "a footwear brand could exist in this space without being in Zumiez."
Kevin Furtado, the founder of State Footwear, told me how Zumiez can help skate brands develop the financial security to stay involved with actual skate audiences – an ends justify the means type of scenario. "Having a large customer like Zumiez is not just larger orders, but prompt payments and timelines. As a small business, I need to make sure these things are being met as well. Those benefits allow me to flex a little more for independent [shops] that I could not do alone."
According to Damon and Kevin, both big and small skate shoe brands need to be in Zumiez if they want to survive. They need to share the shelf space alongside huge companies like Nike, Converse, and Adidas, and they have sell to at least some of the same customers in order to remain competitive in the footwear market.
For hard goods brands, most well-established ones are currently in Zumiez. Those that aren't — such as Polar, Quasi, 917, FA, Hockey, and Bronze — are succeeding in their own rights, but they also carry some of the most clout in skating today. If a hard goods brand can't attain that level of cultural excitement, they probably need to sell to Zumiez if they want to afford everything expected of a legitimate skate brand: supporting their riders, going on tours, and producing videos.
So regardless of how they feel toward Zumiez, most established hard goods brands, just like shoe brands, seemingly benefit from having them as a customer.
Younger hard good brands may see selling to Zumiez as a quick way to build recognition and reach more consumers. However, as Josh Stewart of Theories of Atlantis distribution told me, letting Zumiez blast your small brand to the world won't guarantee success or money, and could end up tarnishing your reputation.
"With those large orders, you end up flooding the market with your brand's products. You will potentially disenfranchise most of the core shops that helped get your brand to the level of popularity it's gotten to, and you have to accept a much cheaper price per unit," Josh said. "You're selling twice as much product as before, but you're only making one-fourth more money, while also doubling the cost of your production invoices. Once you analyze the whole scenario, you're not making much profit in the long run."
tom campion, zumiez co-founder
Josh also pointed out how small hard goods brands could inadvertently hurt skate shops by selling to Zumiez.
"That big chain store is getting much cheaper prices than the core shops that supported your brand from the beginning," he said. "Those shops are finding it harder and harder to compete, so some of those shops stop ordering from you, and some of them go out of business. It puts a big strain on the whole delicate ecosystem we call the skate industry."
Skate shops are crucial parts of the skateboard industry, but they're also crucial for skateboarding culture, so no matter how little or how much you're invested (experientially, emotionally, or economically) we need skate shops around.
"Core shops offer a sense of community," Josh said. "And typically the employees and owners help curate skate culture for their area, giving a sense of local personality to that scene. They also are instrumental in helping get local skaters recognized and sponsored. The importance of shops like that can't be overstated."
[Zumiez] can be a beneficial partner for shoe companies and some hard good companies, but they're possibly detrimental to skate shops…
Stuart Martin agreed that Zumiez doesn't provide all the same functions as a skate shop. "The Zumiez experience and the specialty shop experience are really different," he said. "The number one thing we do is make sure the best brands in skateboarding have solid business. We're not trying to be a specialty shop or replace all the vital things they do for skateboarding." However, that doesn't mean Zumiez doesn't affect skate shops and communities.
Some time ago, Zumiez reached out to Josh in hopes of working together. "They said we could do it slowly and introduce our brands to the [Zumiez] shops that aren't close to any core stores, so it wouldn't affect real skate shops or bum them out," Josh said. "And they also offered to make their first couple of purchases at our regular shop pricing. But they did admit that after their first couple of initial orders they would expect to start negotiating cheaper pricing."
I asked Josh if it was strictly a business decision for him to not work with Zumiez, but he said it was a moral one as well.
"Going to small underground skate shops as a kid and knowing how important they are for building the culture in small cities, I want to support that tradition and keep skateboarding feeling like an underground counterculture. But I also feel like if we continue to look out for the smaller, core shops who supported us from the beginning, they'll continue to back us. That might be naive, but it makes us feel better because either way we're never going to get rich doing this so we might as well feel good about the way we do things."
richard brooks, ceo of zumiez
As far as Zumiez's community involvement, they hold Best Foot Forward contests that give local ams around the world more chances to be seen, and they host signings when big teams are in town. Unlike most skate shops, Zumiez doesn't sponsor skaters. And while Zumiez occasionally puts on video premieres, art shows, and social events, they don't do so as frequently as skate shops or with the same level of local engagement. However, not for nothing, Zumiez does have a foundation that donates clothes every year to people in need. In 2018, they gave away over 200,000 pieces of clothing to 200 different communities.
There is no easy answer to the Zumiez question. They can be a beneficial partner for shoe companies and some hard good companies, but they're possibly detrimental to skate shops, and they don't maintain authentic skateboarding culture in a meaningful way.
Anyone can go into a Zumiez and learn about skateboarding on a surface level: what some of the brands are, what the latest big video is, and maybe some deeper pointers from employees who skate. But hanging out at a skate shop and becoming friends with the people who frequent and work there is still one of the best ways to absorb the culture of skateboarding and feel like you're a part of skateboarding, rather than buying into it.
For the skate industry, Zumiez is something they'll be grappling with for a while.
But for individual skate consumers, they can at least rest assured knowing Zumiez helps bolster many skate brands' financial stability. And if they prioritize the history and future of skateboarding culture, but don't have a skate shop in their area, they can buy from skate shops with online stores instead of hitting the Zumiez at their mall.
And if they really want to take the extra step in keeping skateboarding weird and exciting, then yes, they can also try to get away with taking a dump inside a Zumiez. (Just don't tag us if you do this.)

Q: Finding the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for a random variable of mixed type I am having issues solving the follow problem from my textbook:

Suppose we have $x_1,...,x_n$ i.d.d. data from a r.v. $X$ with unknown
distribution function $F_\theta$, for $\theta =
 (\theta_1,\theta_2)\in\Theta = [0,1] \times\mathbb R_+ \subset \mathbb R^2$. The r.v. $X$
is known to be of mixed type, with density
$$f_\theta(x) = \left\{  \begin{array}{c} \frac{1}{4}\theta_1,\ \ \ \
 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x = 1, \\  \frac{1}{4}(1 - \theta_1),\ \ \
 \ \ \ \  x = 2, \\  \frac{3}{4}\frac{1}{\theta_2}e^{-(x-3)/\theta_2},
 \ \ x\geq 3, \end{array} \right. $$
with respect to the measure $\mu(t) = \mu_0(t)\mathbb I\{t<3\} + \mu_1(t)\mathbb I\{t\geq3\}$, where $\mu_0$ is counting measure of the
integers in $\mathbb R$ and $\mu_1$ is length measure on $\mathbb R$.
Derive the MLE of $\theta$.

When one deals with a variable of mixed type, I know that you consider the likelihood function $L(\theta) = \prod_{x_i < 3}f_\theta(x_i)\cdot\prod_{x_i \geq 3}f_\theta(x_i)$, but other that that I am not sure how to tackle this problem. So I am aware that I should begin by finding the MLE w.r.t. one of the parameters. But I don't see how one should do that when we don't know the actual values of the $x_i's$.
For example if none of the $x_i's = 1$, then $\theta_1 = 0$ is the maximiser, etc. This leads me to believe that there is something crucial I am missing here or is failing to consider on my own, and I haven't been able to find much help for this in the textbook that I'm using.

A: Firstly, as Xi'an points out in the comments, you can't get the MLE without any data.  The MLE is an estimator, and so it required data to give an estimate.  So obviously you are going to need some values for the $x_i$ in order to estimate the parameters.  This is merely a recognition that we can't estimate unknown aspects of a distribution without some observations of outcomes of the distribution.
Once you understand this part, the most important thing in these kinds of problems is to simplify the log-likelihood function as much as you can before you try to maximise.  To do this, suppose you have a $n$ data points.  Without loss of generality, let $n_1$ and $n_2$ denote the number of $1$s and $2$s in the sample and let $(x_1,...,x_k)$ denote the remaining values that aren't $1$s or $2$s (so you have $n_1+n_2+k = n$).  Then you can write the log-likelihood function as:
$$\begin{align}
\ell_\mathbf{x}(\theta_1, \theta_2)
&= \sum_{i=1}^n \log f_\theta(x_i) \\[6pt]
&= n_1 \log f_\theta(1) + n_2 \log f_\theta(2) + \sum_{i=1}^k \log f_\theta(x_i) \\[6pt]
&= \text{const} + n_1 \log(\theta_1) + n_2 \log(1-\theta_1) + \sum_{i=1}^k \Bigg[ -\frac{x_i-3}{\theta_2} - \log(\theta_2) \Bigg] \\[6pt]
&= \text{const} + n_1 \log(\theta_1) + n_2 \log(1-\theta_1) - \frac{1}{\theta_2} \sum_{i=1}^k (x_i-3) - k \log(\theta_2) \\[6pt]
&= \text{const} + n_1 \log(\theta_1) + n_2 \log(1-\theta_1) - \frac{k (\bar{x}_k-3)}{\theta_2} - k \log(\theta_2), \\[6pt]
\end{align}$$
where $\bar{x}_k \equiv \sum_{i=1}^k x_i / k$ is the sample mean for the data points that are not equal to $1$ or $2$.  Now, this gives you a function of the parameters $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ that you can maximise using ordinary calculus techniques.

Mary J. Blige, Rose McGowan, and More Celebrate the Launch of Casa Reale and Sting, Anna Chlumsky, and Jason Segel attend the BAMcinemaFest premiere of The End of the Tour
By Edward Barsamian and Emily Barasch
Just a stone's throw away in Brooklyn, the BAMcinemaFest 2015 opened with the premiere of The End of the Tour, a film based on journalist **David Lipsky'**s Rolling Stone interview with the late literary titan, David Foster Wallace. A bookish crowd—joined by the movie's stars Jason Segel, Anna Chlumsky, in a delicate rosy Suno dress, and Mickey Sumner, wearing the folksy-glam Australian label, Lover—filled BAM's regal Howard Gilman Opera House. (Jesse Eisenberg, who played Lipsky, was across the bridge rehearsing for his acclaimed play, The Spoils.)
After the riveting and surprisingly funny film, guests ventured to the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, which was built more than a century ago in the now-chic Fort Greene neighborhood. Segel, whose performance many are hailing as career-making, held court in the corner, graciously greeting friends and admirers. Others, like Sting and Trudie Styler—parents of Sumner, who charmingly plays Wallace's ex-girlfriend—had their personal favorites: "I think Jason Segel is a revelation, but of course, Mickey Sumner steals the show," said Styler, ever the proud mother.
The large auditorium had a school dance vibe, which was solidified by the corndogs, caramel popcorn, snow cones, and Frito pies being served—an ode to Wallace's love of junk food on display throughout the film. (For the uninitiated, a Frito pie consists of chili, cheese, and of course, Fritos.) Under the music, hushed admissions of having not read Infinite Jest gave way to hearty laughs, a celebration befitting the well-done film and the writer who inspired it.

📺 + 🏈 + ✔ = 📈 Deflategate to doping Way-too-early Top 25 NFL draft early entries
Urban Meyer: Ohio State should weigh history at Florida during evaluation
George Schroeder
"Broken."
That's how Urban Meyer described the Florida program at the end of the 2010 regular season – shortly before he resigned, citing health issues. Considering all of the success during Meyer's tenure, it was a startling admission.
But the success of two national titles in three seasons, only 15 losses in six seasons and dozens of NFL draft picks was counterbalanced by several dozen arrests and multiple reports of failed drug tests and other misdeeds by players.
As Ohio State investigates what its coach knew and did – or didn't do – in response to past domestic violence allegations against an assistant coach, it's difficult to see how the university can evaluate whatever it finds without considering Meyer's tenure at Florida.
WOLKEN COLUMN:Ohio State must fire Meyer if he was protecting abuser
PAID LEAVE:Ohio State makes decision on Meyer's status
INTERIM COACH:Who is Ohio State's Ryan Day?
The final tally in Gainesville included more than 30 player arrests in Meyer's six seasons. It included running back Chris Rainey, who was charged with aggravated stalking of a girlfriend (he texted her: "Time to die"). Jamar Hornsby, who stole and charged up almost $3,000 on the credit card of the deceased girlfriend of a Gators teammate. Ronnie Wilson, who was charged with aggravated assault after an altercation in which he fired a rifle (he was kicked off the team for a year and then reinstated).
Meanwhile, if Tim Tebow was the poster child for Florida football, his opposite was Aaron Hernandez, the talented but troubled tight end who was later convicted of murder after playing for the NFL's New England Patriots. While at Florida, Hernandez was a suspect in a 2007 shooting in Gainesville which remains unsolved. He was investigated but not charged for felony battery.
In addition to the incidents that became public, later accounts included allegations that Meyer had separate rules for stars – or that those core values could be occasionally overlooked.
When he resigned on December 9, 2010, Meyer appeared to be broken, too. He was gaunt. He had coached the 2010 season after first resigning for health reasons in December 2009, then changing his mind and returning a day later; the aborted exit came a few weeks after Meyer had been rushed to the hospital with chest pains.
In that final season, the Gators lost five games – half as many as they'd lost in Meyer's first five seasons, total. Later reports indicate the 2010 season was marked by internal turmoil. Looking back to when Meyer resigned for good, was it really burnout? And if real, could the health issues have been related to the stress from the apparent unraveling of the program?
Meyer spent a season on an ESPN set as an analyst. But with the Ohio State job open – ironically, because Jim Tressel had been fired for off-field issues – he jumped back into coaching, again at one of college football's goliaths, with all its attendant expectations and pressures.
Meyer said he had found balance. In his second act, he wasn't going to work as long; he was going to spend more time with his family. There were also stories about the culture he hoped to create, and how he'd come to understand and embrace a more holistic approach to culture-building. The "core values" for Ohio State's program are literally written on a wall at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center:
Honesty.
Treat Women with Respect.
No Drugs Stealing Weapons.
Those date back to his time at Florida. At Ohio State, Meyer has said several times he has a zero tolerance policy in regard to how players treat women. One notable exception would be running back Carlos Hyde, who allegedly punched a woman at a nightclub in 2013, before his senior season. Though Hyde was not charged, he was suspended for three games; he went on to run for more than 1,000 yards and was named all-Big Ten. But Ohio State's recruiting has seemingly focused on fewer character risks; there have been fewer public issues.
But then the domestic violence allegations against wide receivers coach Zach Smith surfaced last month. Meyer admitted knowing of an incident between Smith and his wife in 2009, while Smith was on the Florida staff, but initially denied knowing anything about allegations from 2015.
"I was never told about anything and nothing ever came to light," Meyer told reporters July 24 at Big Ten media day regarding those allegations. "I've never had a conversation about it. I know nothing about it. First I heard about that was last night."
That "last night," or July 23, was also when Smith was fired. The story was only beginning to unfold.
It's hard to know what Ohio State's investigation will uncover. It might be impossible to prove what Meyer knew and did or did not do. But his actions – or inaction – will likely be viewed through the prism of the "broken" Florida program he left behind.

Ion Izagirre will join his brother Gorka at Movistar in 2014. The Basque riders had been with Euskaltel-Euskadi for the last three years. It was earlier announced that Gorka would join the Spanish team. Movistar also said that Fran Ventoso extended his contract for another year.
Transfers: Devenyns to Argos, G. Izagirre and Malori to Movistar
Ion, 24, turned pro with Euskaltel in 2011, where he rode with his 26-year-old brother. The Basque team is stopping at the end of this year.
Movistar calls the younger Izagirre "one of the most promising tales in the international scene." He brought in top 25 finishes in the Tour of Poland, Tirreno-Adriatico and the GP Plouay in his first year. He made his breakthrough in 2012, winning a stage in the Giro d'Italia as well as the time trial at the Vuela a Asturias.
The 2013 season saw him finish second overall in the Tour of Poland, after wearing the leader's jersey for one stage. He was also fourth overall in the Tour Down Under, second in the Spanish national road championships and fourth in the time trial.
Ventoso, 31, will be with the Spanish team for one more year. Although he didn't have any victories this season, the team noted that "25 victories in his palmares and more than ten top ten places this year are a guarantee that Ventoso can get back to success in 2014."


A car business in Ashington has transformed the way it does business thanks to the iNorthumberland roll-out of fibre broadband.
The company specialises in performance and fuel economy tuning, which uses an array of specialised diagnostic tools – that need to be regularly updated with the latest software.
"We have about 20 diagnostic tools which tell us what is going on inside a vehicle's engine. These need updating daily or a few times a week and we can't use them while they're being updated. Before we had superfast broadband it could take more than 24-hours to update a machine which meant coming in at weekends or working overnight so that machines would be ready to use when we need them. Now we can do it in a matter of hours so its something we can do during normal working hours," Darren added.
More than 19,600 homes and businesses across Ashington now have access to the high-speed, fibre technology thanks to iNorthumberland and BT's own commercial roll-out. Many have already placed orders with their chosen service provider but many more still have the opportunity to upgrade.
The iNorthumberland broadband programme, a key part of the council's growth investment, is being delivered by Northumberland County Council and BT. BT was awarded the iNorthumberland contract in April 2013 following a procurement exercise through the Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) framework. A second phase contract was signed in June which will see more than £4.1 million invested in the programme area in addition to the £18.9 million initially invested by Northumberland County Council, the Government's Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) fund, BT and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Simon Roberson, BT's regional partnership director for the North East, said: "Getting this network in the ground has been a fantastic achievement and one of the biggest local civil engineering projects in recent years. However, the real test of its success will be the amount of local people, and businesses, taking advantage of it. Not only is superfast broadband of value to business, it also offers many benefits for families, such as downloading music in minutes or watching catch-up TV; streaming HD or 3D movies in a few minutes; or posting photos and videos to social networking sites in seconds. It can also improve access to new job opportunities, and make it easier to shop around for cheaper services.
The majority of premises in Northumberland will be getting access to some of the best broadband speeds in the UK via iNorthumberland and the commercial roll-out of fibre by BT's local network business, Openreach. Openreach's network is open to all broadband service providers on an equal wholesale basis and so Northumberland households and businesses can benefit from highly competitive products and pricing.

Q: EFI duplicate entries, start from efi doesn't work my UEFI entries dupplicate:
arch
ATAPI CD0: ...
ATA HDD0: ...
arch
ATAPI CD0: ...
ATA HDD0: ...

Also if I want to boot from "arch" I can't, but it leads me back to the screen on the image.
I tried to get grub2 working with an Ubuntu-installation AND following the arch linux guide.
Unfortunatelly I can't change the boot-option to bios, because I set a bios password which I don't remember anymore.
Can anyone tell me, what I am doing wront?

A: Duplicate EFI boot entries are not unusual, and can result from any number of factors -- most commonly user error and bugs in OS programs intended to manage these things. That said, the fact that you're looking at three duplicates, two of which are not managed by the OS, suggests you may be looking at a firmware bug. Unless it causes real problems (and you've presented no evidence that it does), I'd ignore it.
As to your inability to boot Arch, that could be caused by any number of things, including Secure Boot problems, a damaged or buggy boot loader binary, a damaged EFI boot manager entry, missing or damaged components further on the boot chain (kernel, initrd file, etc.), and probably more. It's impossible to tell what's going wrong based on the information you've presented alone. I recommend you use my rEFInd boot manager on a CD-R or USB flash drive to try to boot the installation. If you can get in, then you can attempt to re-install GRUB 2, or install something else in its place. You might also learn more by examining efibootmgr -v output to verify that your arch entries point to real boot loader files.


Where would I be? Would I be clinging to the Apostles with your mother and Mary Magdalen? Would I be helping sing your praises on Sunday and join the masses calling for your blood on Friday? I could even be like Peter, swearing I would die with you then deny you. How can I judge when I know my own sins? I join Peter's cry for mercy.
Would I be at the foot of the cross with John, your beloved, your Mother and the sobbing Mary Magdalen? Would I hear, "Woman, behold your son. Son behold your mother."?Would I feel the earth shake and see lightning flash across the sky?
I desire to be like Mary Magdalen. I want to be overwhelmed with sorrow on Friday and have boundless joy on Sunday when I see you in the garden. I want my joy in Your presence to be so large I have no choice but to spread the Good News to others.

Aim: To describe our experience using extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in resuscitating children with refractory cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to describe hospital survival and neurologic outcomes after ECPR. Methods: A retrospective chart review of a consecutive case series of patients requiring ECPR from 2001 to 2006 at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Data from medical records was abstracted and reviewed. Primary study outcomes were survival to hospital discharge and neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Results: During the 6-year study period, ECPR was deployed 34 times in 32 patients. 24 deployments (73%) resulted in survival to hospital discharge. Twenty-eight deployments (82%) were for underlying cardiac disease, 3 for neonatal non-cardiac (NICU) patients and 3 for paediatric non-cardiac (PICU) patients. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, only serum ALT (p-value = 0.043; OR, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.014-2.527) was significantly associated with risk of death prior to hospital discharge. Blood lactate at 24 h post-ECPR showed a trend towards significance (p-value = 0.059; OR, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.991-1.627). The Hosmer-Lemeshow tests (p-value = 0.178) suggested a good fit for the model. Neurological evaluation of the survivors revealed that there was no change in PCPC scores from a baseline of 1-2 in 18/24 (75%) survivors. Conclusions: ECPR can be used successfully to resuscitate children following refractory cardiac arrest in the ICU, and grossly intact neurologic outcomes can be achieved in a majority of cases.

Lola Cars International, the racing car group, which started in 1958 has filed an intention to appoint administrators citing severe cashflow problems following HMRC decision not to pay R&D tax credits. The firm employs 172 people in Cambridgeshire and builds cars for the Le Mans race. In a statement the firm said.
"It is with enormous regret that a decision has been taken to issue Notices of intention to appoint an Administrator to Lola Cars International Limited and Lola Composites Limited. This step allows the board to continue its discussions with possible investors and prospective purchasers with a view to securing the best outcome for the staff, creditors and customers of both businesses."
The last filed accounts in 2011 show the firm made a profit of £159k on a turnover of £6m. The firm said it will make a further announcement on the 21st May 2012.
