FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, BNSF Railway (BNSF) agreed to temporarily accommodate additional Amtrak service between Seattle and Bellingham, Wash. in an effort to assist travelers following the collapse of the Interstate 5 Skagit Bridge. The specific details of the additional service have yet to be determined. BNSF has notified Amtrak and WSDOT that additional service can be added on a temporary basis and will work with the two entities to establish the schedule.

“The bridge collapse has created a highly difficult and unusual situation for those having to travel the I-5 corridor and calls for extraordinary measures to temporarily add additional service,” said Mark Schulze, BNSF vice president, Safety, Training & Operations Support. “We will do our best to accommodate the additional traffic, and we’re glad to do it.”

It's Wedding Season; Merge Your Styles with Naurelle Furniture May 24, 2013 07:38PM

LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As the weather in Los Angeles warms up, wedding season begins. Concerns about dresses, rings, caterers, and parties are tossed about in anticipation of the big day. With nuptials on the horizon, however, it's always a good idea for brides and grooms to consider the rest of their lives and the domestic space they'll share together. Naurelle, high-end showroom in Los Angeles for contemporary furniture, has a stunning selection of outstanding pieces sure to bridge the gap between the tastes of any two future spouses.

Naurelle, in a sense, weds the finest of the old world with the best of the new. The three collections emerging from the Beverly Hills showroom—Classic, Modern, and Traditional—all reflect the grandeur of the old world through design embellishments and luxurious materials, but through a modern lens that keeps them from looking dated. The sleek, artistic lines of Naurelle's contemporary Italian furniture work perfectly with any pieces already in a home.

Alternatively, Naurelle can furnish whole rooms and office spaces and provide elegant accessories and lighting. President of Naurelle, Kayvan Nahai handpicks his outstanding furniture exclusively out of Spain and Italy. His sophisticated eye has brought modern European furniture to homes, commercial showrooms, and luxury hotels around the world for well over thirty years. This world-class glamour can be experienced in person through Naurelle's conveniently-located LA showroom, located at 7970 Beverly Blvd.

For clients who can't make it to the showroom, Mr. Nahai makes a complimentary home visit. Using his designer-like eye—the same one that scours the globe for the finest European furniture—Mr. Nahai conceives of a room that embodies a customer's tastes through fabrics, colors, finishes, and more. Because client satisfaction is his top priorities, the President of Naurelle can customize his pieces to make them even more evocative of their owner's sensibilities. This dedication to providing only the best, most fitting modern European furniture is what has made Naurelle a staple of the fine furniture industry since opening in 1981.

The accessories available at Naurelle make great wedding gifts, as they incorporate incredibly easily into any home. Gorgeous gold-framed mirrors for the foyer, hand-carved wood urns with gold leaf finish, solid bronze sculptures, chic hand-cut crystal vases, edgy hand-blown red Venetian glass chandeliers, and many others are true delights when unwrapped by a married couple entering their new home together. If there are any doubts about which pieces make the best gifts, Mr. Nahai gladly fields questions about all items in the Naurelle collection.

Naurelle can be contacted directly by calling 323-852-7003. More contact information, as well as showroom hours and directions, can be seen through the Naurelle website at www.Naurelle.com.

Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. Responds To Defamatory And Fraudulent Claim May 24, 2013 07:20PM

LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. (OTCQB: SAPX)  ("Seven Arts" or the "Company") became aware that the public relations agency of an entity known to the Company only as "IFSG" has issued defamatory and fraudulent statements regarding the activities of the Company at the recent Cannes Film Festival.  IFSG is unknown to the Company, and the Company has not been able to locate any office or registered address.  IFSG may be an assignee of another entity that may have invested a limited amount of money in a motion picture project of Seven Arts Pictures plc ("PLC"), the Company's listing predecessor, which is in a creditor's liquidation proceeding in England.  The Company believes that any claims of that entity would be only as an investor in the project, and any claims would need to be presented in respect of PLC in the United Kingdom, including any claims with respect to affiliates of PLC.

No actions have been filed against the Company or any of its affiliates by any party in connection with the above-referenced motion picture, and no claims have been threatened despite the defamatory and fraudulent statements made by IFSG. 

In contradiction of the many false and defamatory statements by IFSG:

  1. The possible investor has no liens whatsoever on the distribution proceeds of any produced and distributed Seven Arts motion pictures and no distributors, of course, have any liability whatsoever to the investor.
  2. The single possible investment was done on a private basis as co-producer is not a "fraudulent investment scam" in any sense of the word, and all risks were properly disclosed to the one investor who was a personal friend of the director. 
  3. All monies invested in the development and pre-production of motion picture projects by PLC were used as intended. 
  4. There is no investigation of the possible investment in the motion picture project by any agency in the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
  5. The claims against PLC resulting in its liquidation had not been made and were not made until the summer of 2011.  Of course, these claims were unknown to PLC when the investment by Altitude was made in the fall of 2009, as is a matter of public record.  

The Company's CEO Peter Hoffman stated, "We regret that we must respond to baseless claims by the assignee of a disgruntled possible investor in a motion picture project who is engaged in practices that violate both English and California law and are defamatory. Complaints have been made to the Office of Fair Trading in England."

About Seven Arts Entertainment Inc.:

Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. was founded in 2002 as an independent motion picture production and distribution company engaged in the development, acquisition, financing, production and licensing of theatrical motion pictures for exhibition in domestic (i.e., the United States and Canada) and foreign theatrical markets, and for subsequent worldwide release in other forms of media, including home video and pay and free television.
