Some established growers, however, were willing to speak on the record. "Biodynamic folks are taking advantage of the other producers by pretending to be on some higher level in terms of their empathy with the soil and the land," says Peter Cargasacchi of Cargasacchi Vineyards in Santa Barbara County. "A lot of these guys have MBAs and science degrees, and they're out there using Biodynamics as their marketing program. Well, shame on them." Ted Hall of organic Long Meadow Ranch in Rutherford adds, "It's important that people understand that organic farming is a sophisticated, science-based approach not based on a belief system. ... [Biodynamics] is a fad, because it is not based on substance. It will not persist over a long period."
And yet many of the world's most influential wine writers, including Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson, have become enthusiastic supporters of Biodynamics. Its self-proclaimed position as the "Rolls-Royce of organics" has allowed winesellers to win over overtly environmental shoppers, while Biodynamicists' claim to craft the world's most distinctive wines has ensnared connoisseurs. Tyler Colman, the writer of the popular Dr. Vino blog, recalled a conversation he had with the general manager of an exclusive Napa winery. Even though the executive wasn't enthused by Biodynamics, "he said, at his price point, everything is extremely competitive and he didn't want to allow his competitors who were practicing Biodynamics to have any sort of an advantage. He decided to switch his vineyard over to Biodynamic."
Like many in the wine world, Colman judges that Biodynamic wines trend "from very good to great" — though he isn't ready to attribute their quality to Biodynamics. And while there are inexpensive Biodynamic wines, the process tends to be taken up by winemakers skilled and successful enough to move their product for prices that justify the investments of capital and labor in a system that produces lower crop yields than conventional farming and mandates obsessive attention to detail. "We have no problem selling any of our Biodynamic wines, even though they're really expensive," Benziger told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
Demeter's Fullmer says his organization — a nonprofit — is not getting rich off of the spike in Biodynamics; it makes only 50 cents for every $100 of business from its clients. Still, Demeter is a massive international organization with outposts in 45 countries — in Europe, there is even Demeter-certified Biodynamic toothpaste. Biodynamics' American ascent may be best measured, however, via the proliferation of consultants. Over the past several years, the number working in California has increased from two to around a dozen or more. None of the consultants contacted by SF Weekly would reveal their fees, but winemakers said rates of $300 an hour are not out of the question.
Bonny Doon's Randall Graham doesn't need a consultant — he hired Biodynamics expert Corderey as his full-time viticulturist. Corderey, a brusque, strapping Frenchman who rolls his own cigarettes, has turned Graham on to the power of sensitive crystallizations. Originally developed by Steiner disciple Ehrenfried Pfeiffer in the 1930s, crystallization is a process in which a dab of material – in this case, wine — is mixed into a copper chloride solution in a Petri dish. It is left in a small oven to evaporate overnight, leaving a residue of intricately formed crystal patterns. Corderey claims the crystals are the tangible mark of the "life forces" within the wines. Boltlike veins of crystals indicate that the vines are young and unfocused, like a child with a short attention span. Denser and more organized patterns indicate maturity and age. He glances up from his computer. "You know," he says with a smile, "I also crystallize people."
Corderey had a co-worker spend the day with a vial of wine in her pocket. He then crystallized the wine from the vial and compared it to a control sample. He would not reveal what he divined from the crystals, but said that he stunned the co-worker by pinpointing "exactly where she was in life." When SF Weekly suggested that someone could merely take a sip of wine, spit it out, and have Corderey crystallize that, he nodded — that could work, too.
"You see this?" he said, gesturing toward a choppy swirl magnified many times on his computer screen. Beneath the crystallization, a label read "2007 Albarino exposed to AC/DC Highway to Hell." Corderey had played the 1979 rock anthem to a glass of wine. He then played Native American music to another glass — resulting in a much smoother, more organized crystallization. "You can see the connection — these people work with nature and not against it."
Not far away, winemaker Graham was attempting to "form a vortex" in a vat of wine by furiously churning it with an oar-sized pole. Doing so would impart "life energy" into the vino. But, try as he might, he just couldn't stir rapidly enough. He confides that one of his fellow Biodynamic winemakers claims, like Steiner, to visit the spirit world. But for Graham, more earthly matters called, namely selling his product. "It would be nice to impart some life force into this wine, but I really need to go impart some life force into my company," he says. "I've got to get on the phone to my distributors and pound the shit out of them."

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
D.2. Overview |
The Template Toolkit is a collection of Perl modules, scripts, and other useful bits and pieces that collectively implement a powerful template processing system for generating and manipulating content. It scans through source documents looking for special directives embedded in the text. These act as instructions to the processor to perform certain tasks.
A simple directive might just insert the value of a variable:
Home
or perhaps include and process another template:
[% INCLUDE header title = 'A Dark and Stormy Night' %]
More complex directives may make use of the powerful language constructs that the Template Toolkit provides. For example:

[% users.size %] users currently logged in:

 [% FOREACH user = users %] [%# 'loop' is a reference to the FOREACH iterator -%]
[% loop.count %]/[% loop.size %]: [% user.name %] [% IF user.about %]
[% user.about %]
 [% END %] [% INCLUDE userinfo %]
 [% END %]

Chances are that you can work out what most of the above is doing without too much explanation. That's the general idea—to keep the templates as simple and general as possible. It allows you to get a broad overview of what's going on without too much detail getting in the way.
We'll come back to this example later on and explain a little more about what's going on.

What's Hot
You shirk responsibility
The key element of investing is making choices: which stock to buy, when to buy, when to sell, and so on. In turn, those choices entail responsibility.But most investors punt when it comes to full responsibility, and this is one of our bad investment signs. If their investments go down, it is their broker's fault or just bad luck. But who chose the broker and chose to invest in the first place?
Hint: Rationalizing, an emotional obstacle, never made anyone any money.
Most important, full responsibility doesn't mean responsibility for everything in the world. What it means is responsibility for the power you wield; it also means taking responsibility for growing your personal capabilities and power. That means bringing your full consciousness to your decisions.
So choose your broker by becoming informed about how to do that well. Choose your investments by learning how to do that well. It is your money and your responsibility.

Erik Kuselias and Peter King examine Sean Payton's free agent contract situation and discuss whether or not Payton will hold out for more money from the Saints or for the possible Cowboys' gig.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!ProFootballTalk: How much leverage does Payton have?
Golden Tate says things are heating up
With one of Seattle's top free agents signed and sealed to stay with the Seahawks, another one could have a deal soon.
Receiver Golden Tate says on Twitter that that "[t]hings are starting to heat up."
He doesn't specify whether that means with the Seahawks or someone else. As to defensive end Michael Bennett, the Seahawks got serious once another suitor was seriously pursuing the player.
The No. 26 player on the PFT Free Agent Hot 100, Tate entered the league as a second-round pick of the 2010 draft. He had a career high 898 receiving yards in 2013, on a career-high 64 catches. Tate also returned 51 punts, generating an average of 11.5 yards per return.
Tate can sign with the Seahawks at any time. As of 4:00 p.m. ET Tuesday, he can sign with anyone else.
Devin Hester says he's NFL's best all-around player
Devin Hester will call a new city home next season after spending the first eight years of his career in Chicago.
Hester is confident it won't take long for him to find a new team to play for and art of the reason for that confidence is how highly he thinks of his abilities on the field. Hester spoke to Emerson Lotzia ESPN 106.3 FM in West Palm Beach, Fla. ahead of free agency and said he feels he's the league's best all-around player.
"Me," Hester stated bluntly when asked. "I can go and play corner, I can go and play receiver, I can play running back, and I can play a little bit of safety, as well as kickoff and punt returner."
Hester has been an outstanding kick and punt returner but has had trouble finding a consistent home on either offense or defense. He began his career as a cornerback before switching sides of the ball to play receiver as well for the Bears. His best season offensively came in 2009 when he caught 57 passes for 757 yards and three touchdowns.
However, he's never been a top-level player as anything other than a return specialist.
Despite a somewhat overly inflated opinion of his talents, Hester is still a valuable player that can be an asset to the right team.
Hester claims he has "at least 15 teams" already interested in him and it will be a matter of finding the team that provides the best fit.
Mack's agent confident a deal can be crafted that Browns won't match
Last week, the Browns applied the transition tag to center Alex Mack, guaranteeing him $10 million for 2014, if/when he signs the offer. He hasn't signed it yet.
Peter King of TheMMQB.com reported Monday that Mack's agent is "confident" that he can structure an offer sheet with a "reasonable likelihood" the Browns won't match. It's important for any team that signs Mack to an offer sheet to believe the Browns won't match it; otherwise, the new team will have negotiated Mack's new contract for no fee or other compensation.
With the poison pill no longer available and the Browns flush with cap space, it will be hard to get the Browns not to match the offer. While Mack's agent may believe that he knows the limits of the Browns' budget on a long-term deal, the plan surely will be revisited if/when another team signs Mack to a long-term deal beyond anything the Browns previously have offered — especially since the Browns will receive no compensation if Mack leaves.
The negotiations become more interesting if the Rams have perhaps decided to move on from 33-year-old center Scott Wells. Mack's agent, Marvin Demoff, is the father of Rams COO Kevin Demoff. The two of them could work together to come up with an offer that the Browns would be inclined not to match.
Or maybe the son will do the father a favor, signing Mack to an offer sheet that they both know the Browns eventually will match. In the interim, Wells perhaps could be squeezed to reduce his $5.5 million base salary.
Regardless, the smarter play for Mack seems to be taking the guaranteed $10 million for 2014 and hitting the open market in 2015, when the salary cap reaches as high as $145 million and it would cost Cleveland $12 million to restrict him for a second straight year.
Report: "Significant interest" for Darren McFadden
On the first day of the legal tampering period, it appeared that there was no market for veteran running backs. As the official start of free agency begins, one running back has apparently emerged.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that McFadden, the eighth pick in the 2008 draft, is generating "significant interest."
Of course, it's one thing to generate "significant interest." It's quite another to generate a significant offer.
Despite ample potential, McFadden has generated only one 1,000-yard season in his career. Last year, he generated 379 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per carry.
That was McFadden's average in 2012, too — 3.3 yards.
Along the way, McFadden has missed 29 games. That's nearly five per season.
It means that, whatever the interest in McFadden, the offers won't be substantial. And not nearly as substantial as the slotted pre-rookie wage scale contract he received from the Raiders — a six-year, $42 million deal.
Patriots wide receiver Aaron Dobson undergoes foot surgery
The Patriots' leading rookie receiver in 2013 is on the mend after undergoing surgery on his left foot on Monday.
According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, wideout Aaron Dobson faces a 2-3 month recovery after the procedure to address a stress fracture.
A second-round pick from Marshall, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Dobson paced Patriots rookies in catches (37) and yards (519) and finished second on the club in TD catches (four). He played in 12 regular season games and one postseason contest for New England in 2013.
If the recovery period reported by the Herald is as anticipated, the 22-year-old Dobson should be ready for training camp in the summer, with his offseason workout participation in the spring a function of how quickly he heals. Considering his production, playing time earned and promise displayed in 2013, Dobson seems likely to have a regular role in the offense next season.
Revis contract gives team unilateral power to restructure
As the Buccaneers look for a potential trade partner for cornerback Darrelle Revis, an obvious impediment comes from his $16 million cap number for 2014.
His contract provides an easy out. As recently explained by Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune (as part of an item pooh-poohing the idea that Revis could be traded), the Revis contract contains a provision allowing the team to unilaterally convert his $13 million base salary into a signing bonus.
If, for example, the team shifted $12 million of the base salary to a signing bonus spread over the remaining life of the contract, the device would create $9.6 million in cap space for 2014, pushing his cap number down to $6.4 million.
Of course, having the power to restructure the deal is meaningless. Revis, like most players, should want to do it. If he doesn't, then he doesn't want to be traded. Which creates a separate problem for the team that may be acquiring him.
That's perhaps the biggest question mark for any team that is considering a move for Revis. Does Revis want to be traded to the team in question? Or does he prefer another team?
Ultimately, does he want to simply be cut so that he can start from scratch as a free agent?
If the answer to the last question is yes, it's going to be very hard for the Buccaneers to trade him to anyone.
Ike Taylor takes a $4.25 million pay cut
Last week, the Steelers signed safety Troy Polamalu and tight end Heath Miller to contract extensions that gave the players no extra money. This week, the Steelers signed cornerback Ike Taylor to a new contract that reduces sharply his $7 million base salary for 2014.
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Taylor's base salary has dropped by $4.25 million, to $2.75 million.
Because Taylor is in the final year of his contract, the Steelers have created $4.75 million in additional cap space. Per Bouchette, the Steelers currently stand at $7 million under the cap.
It gives the Steelers some room to maneuver in free agency. Come September, when linebacker LaMarr Woodley exits the books, the Steelers will pick up another $8 million in cap space, more than enough to sign the team's incoming class of draft picks.
So why did Taylor agree to the pay cut? Presumably, $2.75 million was as much or more than anyone else would have paid him, if he'd landed on the open market.
You wanted it, you got it: A pre-free agency mock draft
You wanted it. We didn't. You won.
We've cobbled together a pre-free agency mock draft. With the help of a real NFL scout. Not to be confused with someone who isn't a real NFL scout but who has picked a Twitter handle that calls himself one.
(That's one of my favorite things about Twitter. Pick a name, and that's what you are. For my next Twitter account, I'll be "SpaceShuttlePilotNinja.")
The reaction has been predictable. The self-styled draft experts scoff, taking way too seriously a process aimed primarily at framing discussions and thinking creatively. The self-styled draft experts likewise ignore the massive disconnect between the pre-draft obsession and the post-draft reality of football, where most of the names over which the self-styled draft experts have been pouring for months become forgotten. Forgotten even by the self-styled draft experts, who quickly start looking toward the next draft.
That's the beauty of one of the NFL's biggest cottage industries. Everyone looks forward. No one looks backward.
Which is good for the self-styled draft experts. Otherwise, those who insisted for example that a fourth-round quarterback wouldn't slide past No. 7 possibly would be exposed.
Report: Perry Riley to re-sign with Redskins
Perry Riley has racked up 244 tackles and 6.5 sacks over the last two seasons with the Washington Redskins.
Apparently that production has made Washington want to keep him around.
According to Dianna Russini of NBC News 4 in Washington D.C., Riley has agreed to a deal to return to Redskins.
Riley has started 40 straight games for Washington since taking over as a starter midway through the 2011 season. He's been a tackling machine for the Redskins ever since. Riley has compiled 319 tackles, 7.5 sacks, a forced fumble, an interception and 19 passes defensed over his first four seasons in D.C.
With London Fletcher heading into retirement – 99 percent of the way into retirement at least - Riley appears poised to take the reins as the leader in the middle of Washington's defense next season.
Report: Bears targeting Lamarr Houston after missing on Michael Bennett
After being unable to pry Michael Bennett away from the Seattle Seahawks, the Chicago Bears have turned their attentions toward another pass rusher set to hit the market.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Bears are now pushing hard to sign Oakland Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston.
Chicago is in need of pass rush help. The team is attempting to trade high-priced defensive end Julius Peppers and could end up releasing him if unable to find a trading partner. With a massive cap number for 2014, a trade of Peppers would seem to be unlikely. Losing Peppers would only increase the need for capable pass rushers in Chicago.
Houston is coming off the best season of his career with the Raiders. Houston compiled 69 tackles with six sacks and two forced fumbles this season for Oakland. He's also been durable, appearing in all 64 games over the last four seasons.
With Bennett signing with Seattle and Greg Hardy and Brian Orakpo being tagged by Carolina and Washington, respectively, Houston – along with Cincinnati's Michael Johnson – could be the top defensive ends to actually reach free agency on Tuesday. With competent pass rushers always in demand, it could make the fight for their services more lucrative than initially anticipated.
Source: Redskins had no 2013 cap space to carry over
Earlier today, Tom Pelissero of USA Today reported that the Redskins opted not to carry over $1.3 million in cap space. That was news to the Redskins.
Per a source with knowledge of the NFL's calculations, the Redskins had no extra cap space in 2013. They actually ended up over the cap by $834,732, based on the computation of so-called "not likely to be earned incentives."
As a result, Washington's cap for 2014 is $132,165,268, down from the $133 million available to every team.
Pelissero's report presumably was based on the NFLPA's calculations, which often differ from the NFL's numbers. For these purposes, the NFL's figures are the rock, and the NFLPA's are the scissors.
The Giants and Rams, also reported by Pelissero to have cap space that wasn't carried over, also ended up over the cap due to incentives that are paid in one year and charged to the cap the next.
Stay up late with PFT
With free agency starting Tuesday and plenty of deals getting done, we'll be staying up late tonight in advance of the looming frenzy.
Feel free to stay up with us.
Tomorrow night, we'll be up all night, cranking out update after update after update in the hopes of catching every piece of news that arises.
The next 48 hours should be intense, followed by a more deliberate process of negotiations and signings. Like every year, the crush comes in the first few days.
Five years after the Great Hamster Massacre of 2009, we'll be here for every minute of it, with no outages or slowdowns or any other problems.
Now that I've jinxed us, look for the whole thing to crash in the next few hours.
Seahawks could be waiting for Tate to get another offer
By all appearances, the Seahawks had two major priorities in unrestricted free agency: defensive end Michael Bennett and receiver Golden Tate.
Now that Bennett has opted to sign a four-year, $28.5 million contract, what happens with Tate?
It could be that the Seahawks are handling Tate the same way they handled Bennett, letting Tate look for offer(s) elsewhere and swooping in once it appears that Tate has a suitor or two. With Bennett, showing up after another team thought the big free-agency fish was on the line worked, even with the Seahawks undercutting what he could have gotten elsewhere.
With Tate, there's no guarantee the player will take less than he could get elsewhere to stay put. First, Tate has to have a serious suitor on the line. With a buyer's market at the receiver position, Tate may not be getting significant offers; definitely not the five-year, $35 million package that as been floating around the Internet.
Regardless, the Seahawks seem to be content with letting someone else set the market before getting involved. For now, it's unclear whether anyone is.
Report: Absent a trade, Bucs will cut Revis on Wednesday
Well, that was fast.
We speculated within the last hour that, if the Buccaneers can't find a trade partner for cornerback Darrelle Revis, perhaps they'll cut him. "Perhaps" has now become "will."
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Bucs will indeed cut Revis on Wednesday if they can't find a trade partner. The move would avoid a $1.5 million roster bonus due Thursday. It also would cause the Bucs to avoid having a fourth-round pick upgrade to a third-round pick as the final piece of compensation to the Jets for the trade that sent Revis to Tampa last year.
(Per a league source, the fourth-round pick upgrades if Revis is on the roster after 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.)
Last year at this time, he was due to be a free agent in 2014. If he's cut, he'll be a free agent in 2014. And he will have made $16 million in 2013 from the Bucs, along with a $1 million roster bonus from the Jets.
It's unclear what he'll get on the open market. But if he's cut he'll be exactly in the same place he would have been but for the trade.
Colts bring back Moala
The Colts have re-signed another impending free agent. But it's not cornerback Vontae Davis.
The team announced on Monday night that defensive end Fili Moala has agreed to terms. No terms have been disclosed.
A second-round pick in 2009, appeared in every game last season, with eight regular-season starts. He started 16 games in 2011 and 14 in 2012.
Moala has 64 career appearances with 45 starts. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday.

Watch It TODAY
On DVD
Watch Online
A typical product of the socialist gerontocracy that still rules the mind of France. Who's the bad guy in this movie? -- a businessman. It just takes far more excruciatingly long to get to this pin-headed conclusion than it ever would with a B-grade American flim.
Incredible on so many levels; the acting is flawless, engaging, and brilliant; tender flashbacks, symbolic music selections, rough and smooth camera shots and angles, and intelligent dialogue bring this film together to weave the intricate and compelling plot and love story ending. This is my favorite film in several years! It is a believable and beautifully crafted film.
This movie was riviting, exciting , and extremely well acted. it is not to be missed.
it was the worse movie in the world. you look at the name and the poster and you see that it says its the perfect thiller and then you read about the man whos wife was murdered 8 years ago and now she's e-mailing him and you would think great movie because its a horror movie. but wrongo it's all in french and the english subtitles go a mile a min
A pleasure viewing an extremely entertaining, emotionally gripping love story and action murder mystery, all wonderfully acted and with character development, as well. Better than anything else presented this summer. US films should pay attention to the fine quality films being produced abroad. An added plus -- the actors don't look like tinsel town celebrities who mostly too much look like

Ft. Yamhill Historical Archaeology Field School 2013
July 1 through August 23, 2013
The 2013 Historical Archaeology Field School will be held at Fort Yamhill. The fort was commissioned in 1856 and was closed after the Civil War in 1867. The fort monitored traffic in and out of the Grand Ronde Agency of the Oregon Coastal Indian Reservation and kept the secessionist movement in check during the Civil War. The fort was manned by 2 companies of U.S. infantry and dragoons prior to the Civil War. California and Oregon volunteer infantry units occupied the fort during the war.
Our archaeological work this summer will focus on 3 of the 6 houses on officer's row. This is a continuation of archaeological work already begun on officer's row. The students will learn to excavate and map complex architectural features, become familiar with mid-19th Century military material culture, and become familiar with an unwritten chapter of Pacific Northwest history.
The site is located at Fort Yamhill State Heritage Park near the Spirit Mountain Casino in Grande Ronde, Oregon.
We will also rotate some of the students over to Champoeg State Heritage Park to complete excavations on a circa 1840's cellar associated with the Robert Newell farmstead excavated by OSU over the past few summers.
We will be working on a Monday through Friday schedule. Transportation to and from Corvallis will be provided on a daily basis and some camping is available at both Heritage Parks.
For more detailed information fill out an application form and submit to Dave Brauner. Dr. Brauner's E-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com

Teaching Strengths
- I am very confident with the subject matter and material for both my content areas. I am passionate as a person and utilize the "practice what I preach method" to help teach my students through experience as well as the curriculum.
- I am able to connect and establish relationships with my students. This allows me to make the course and daily activities relevant to their lives as students and people. I also believe the relationships I establish with my students is sincere and they see that and as a result can invest more in their education.
- I am strong and determined as an individual and teacher. Teaching is a very challenging profession, as it is multifaceted; however, I keep going and try and find ways to improve the situation by changing my mindset. I take the successes as they come, as small or large as they come. Successes and breakthroughs are what make each day unique a new challenge to take on.
- I like to use reflection and discussion with my peers and mentors to problem solve when I have less successful days. After writing down how the class went and the sequence of events I can usually pinpoint where a lesson took a wrong turn. Thus, knowing how and why a lesson turned out the way it did can lead to a more successful class session in the future.

Proof that you're never too old for anything:
You may have to be a smart kid to make it at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, but all you need is a nursery education to tell you which one of the kids is not like the others.
Her name is Nola Ochs and she's 95 years old.
"I came up here as a senior," she told CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman for Assignment America.
"I know you did," Hartman said.
"A college senior," Ochs explained.
Ochs came to Hays last fall for the final leg of what has been the longest college career in history.
To see exactly how long, you have to go to the basement of the administration building, where you'll find a little 3 x 5 card that shows Nola Ochs – then Nola Hill – started a correspondence course called Directed Study April 19th, 1930.
That's 77 years ago.
"There's a great satisfaction in completing what you started," Ochs said.

Nuremberg – Leoni, the leading provider of cables and cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, posted new records in all the key figures in its 2011 financial year. Consolidated sales rose by about 25 percent to EUR 3.7 billion (previous year: EUR 2.96 billion) – and thus by significantly more than expected at the beginning of the year. Business performance involving the automotive and capital goods industries was especially dynamic. Looked at in regional terms, the Company grew above all in the BRIC countries and the United States. Thanks to the sustained improvement in efficiency since the 2009 economic and financial crisis, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were up disproportionately strongly to EUR 237.1 million (previous year: EUR 130.7 million). Leoni generated the largest percentage gain in consolidated net income, with the bottom line reading EUR 156.0 million – and therefore more than double the net income of the previous year (EUR 67.2 million). Leoni intends to pay out a dividend of EUR 1.50 (previous year: EUR 0.70).
At the beginning of 2011, the cable specialist budgeted sales of at least EUR 3.1 billion and EBIT of EUR 170 million, and thereafter twice raised its forecast based on the unexpectedly good trend of business. Demand was heavier than assumed on virtually all markets and therefore resulted in high utilisation of production capacity.
Personnel: more than 60,000 employees for the first time
Leoni significantly enlarged its workforce during the year under report to meet the increased demand for wires, optical fibers, cables and wiring systems. On 31 December 2011 the Company employed 60,745 people Group-wide, i.e. about 10 percent more than one year earlier (55,156 people). In Germany the number of staff was up by 242 to 4,017 employees. Worldwide, about 14 percent of the workforce was on fixed-term employment contracts, which is part of the Group's strategy of making its production capacity more flexible in view of cyclical fluctuation, which cannot be ruled out.
WCS: increase in high-margin business
The Wire & Cable Solutions (WCS) Division benefited from the fact that almost all of its markets grew more strongly through to yearend than initially forecast. Demand was especially heavy for special cables for the automotive industry as well as for cables for the automation, robotics, petrochemicals and railway engineering sectors. The division's external sales increased by 27 percent during the year under report, to EUR 1,677.7 million (previous year: EUR 1,321.5 million). Its EBIT benefited from the heavy utilisation of production capacity and a growing proportion of high-margin segments: the result was up by more than 60 percent to EUR 90.9 million (previous year: EUR 56.3 million).
WSD: strong growth in China, Russia and the United States
The sustained momentum in the global car and commercial vehicle industry entailed strong growth in the Wiring Systems Division (WSD), which also benefited from enhancement of its competitive position. Looked at in regional terms, China and Russia accounted for the largest gains – markets where Leoni's early involvement is increasingly paying off – and the United States, too. In the electromobility future market, significant progress was made in broadening the product range and in the project business. The division's external sales rose by about 24 percent to EUR 2,023.8 million in 2011 (previous year: EUR 1,634.2 million). Based on beneficial economies of scale and lasting structural improvements, the division's EBIT nearly doubled to EUR 146.2 million (previous year: EUR 74.3 million).
Large cash flow despite record-level capital investment
The Leoni Group's financial situation improved substantially in the course of fiscal 2011. Free cash flow before the dividend payout and acquisitions rose by about 139 percent to EUR 121.2 million (previous year: EUR 50.7 million). This key figure was appreciably larger than projected because payments as at the reporting date had an unexpectedly positive impact and some planned capital investment projects were postponed to 2012. Even so, Leoni spent the record sum of EUR 137.4 million on property, plant and equipment as well as on intangible assets (previous year: EUR 103.1 million) to meet the increased demand and to prepare capacity for new projects.
Financial situation: more equity, less debt
As a consequence of the large inflow of cash and the proceeds from the 10 percent capital increase, net debt as at 31 December 2011 nearly halved to EUR 233.9 million (previous year: EUR 444.6 million). Equity simultaneously increased by more than one half to EUR 737.5 million (previous year: EUR 481.2 million) and the equity ratio rose to 31.8 percent (previous year: 23.8 percent). The ratio of net debt to equity (gearing) came to 32 percent at yearend (previous year: 92 percent). The return on capital employed (ROCE) improved significantly in the past year, from 13.9 percent to 24.0 percent.
Forecast: ongoing growth accompanied by increasing profitability
Leoni expects to maintain its course of expansion in the 2012 financial year, while the pace will slow down in view of the surprisingly strong growth in 2011. Depending on the global economic situation, the Company is planning to increase its consolidated sales to between EUR 3.8 and 4.0 billion. EBIT should be in the range from EUR 230 to 280 million. Objectives for 2012 also comprise keeping the return on equity and the equity ratio above the thresholds of 20 percent and 30 percent, respectively. The amount of capital investment will probably rise to between EUR 155 and 185 million.

"Fusion drive" is just a gimmick. Very transparent to the user, but it's pretty much an mSATA SSD and HDD combo. That will go away once SSD's are more affordable.
Your iMac has a 2.5" HDD slot, so if you just have an SSD in there, you can upgrade it yourself and make it into a "fusion drive". There are plenty of tools out there and people have made it work on systems that didn't come with it by default.

You can create your own "fusion" setup. The software is included in both Lion and Mountain Lion 10.7, 10.8. It's easier if you have a MacPro because you've got slots for extra hard drives and easy access to them. You can use external drives also. Just install your drives, one SSD and one HD. Open up the terminal app. and type: diskutil cs create bla disk0 disk1
Disk0 being your ssd and disk1 being your regular HD. Depending on your set up it may not be disk0 or disk1. You need to know the disk number that is assigned to each disk and use those accordingly. The system software does the rest for you. The two drives mount as a single drive. I haven't tried this myself, I might at some point. If you screw up your Mac don't blame me. I'm not telling you to do this. I didn't come up with this, it's all over the net, do a search. In fact I recommend you do a search and use those instructions instead of mine. You can let me know how I got it all wrong. |

The iMac storage options are pure BS. What about offering a couple of SSD-options instead, like 256GB and 512GB (in all iMac models)? I for one am not gonna get any fusion drive ever in an iMac. I want SSD. It's safer, cooler, less noisy, faster/always fast etc., pretty much completely superior to HDs in every way expect storage size, but a lot of people don't need 1-3 GBs of internal data in their iMacs!!

The fusion drive is simply scandalous! For the price they charge Apple should be ashamed, it's like the RAM upgrade pricing pay full amount and more for the upgrade and we will keep the original RAM cost built in. This time they're just charging many times over for an SSD that's worth less than $100

How about getting GTX 680MX for the base 27" too, while we're at it? That's really the only thing I need from the high-end 27" - most likely I'll have to get the high-end because of that reason alone.

7200 RPM drives are less green, produce a lot of heat & noise, and are NOT much faster. The Fusion drive does not need a 7200 RPM HDD.

Good move that is likely to piss off any one who bought an early base model or upgraded to the top 21.5" for Fusion.
Correct me but no one makes a 1Tb 2.5" 7200 HDD, I've seen some 750Gb but I agree there should be a not cost upgrade to the 7200 because it's smaller than the 5400 1Tb. Over all this is a good move but get Fusion and 16Gb of RAM and the base model becomes a $2000 iMac. It will be some time before Fusion is standard on the iMac, not the next update but maybe the one after that. |

Fusion with Express port
The idea of creating your own Fusion drive is great but can this be done with a SSD drive within the Express port? I do have a 96Gb SSD express card and wondered if combined with the internal 750GB Std drive if it's possible or not? Morrile

Your best bet would be to get a DVD to 2.5" drive caddy such as the Optibay. You replace your DVD drive with the caddy and then fit an SSD in it's place. The Optibay comes with a USB case for the optical drive but you can put your existing DVD in any number of third party external USB cases for future use. There's plenty of alternatives to the Optibay, I got one from a company called Bipra for £20 and then bought a £6 USB to optical SATA cable and plug in the bare drive with my Mac Mini: http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB2-0-Sliml...A1WVEK949ZXAY8 There's plenty of sites that show you how to create a fusion drive once you've got the SSD fitted. Barefeats did tests and provided a few links on their page: http://www.barefeats.com/hard158.html Personally, I'd boot from the SSD and then move all your large files outside of the users folder and onto the HDD (iTunes Music, Movies, iPhone library and any large items in your Documents folder etc...).

I don't see this as Apple trying to screw anyone. More a case of realising what a good move it was to introduce Fusion and spreading the ability to all customers.
Fusion was the only thing that excited me about the recent iMac launch. I wasn't that interested in the mildly enhanced processor/GPU specs or the skinny-edged screen.

They most likely didn't have enough or the ability to get the upgrade done before the holidays. Or they listened to the audience and decided to do it. I'm not sure what people are complaining about. The one we got for my uncle with no fusion drive works great ( no beach balls) and is still the same machine we payed for.

Home Grinders |
1st-line tests and selects the best grinders in the specialty coffee business. Our all purpose grinders meets the needs of clients who can only fit one grinder on their counter top and have multiple brew methods (french press, drip, espresso, etc). Our espresso only grinders typically have superior structural integrity (better build quality with less plastic) over all purpose grinders. Espresso only grinders are typically limited due to the doser section (which limits clearance for ground coffee exiting) or the adjustment for grind fineness, which does not have the 'easy' ability to go from one extreme grind setting to another. We hope this explains the tradeoff for each grinder type. Typically, the higher prices on an espresso only grinder relates to larger burrs for superior grind quality and higher dissipation of heat build up, performance, and structural integrity for longevity. One final note... our grinders are for grinding coffee beans only. They are not made to grind spices or other food products. We are unable to accept any eligible returns on coffee grinders that were used to grind food products other than coffee as the residuals are extremely difficult to remove from the grinder for resale as a used product. |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I personalized the message on these stickers to label the homemade favors for our wedding. They looked very professional and are unique. Couldn't have hoped for more. Plush they are the perfect size for the jars I bought!"
"I didn't realize these favor tags are actually stickers. I was a bit surprised when they arrived yesterday. However, they are beautiful and the fact that they're stickers means it's less work for me in the long run."
"I ordered the stickers for my daugther's bridal shower. I wasn't exactly sure how I was going to use them, but they were so reasonable I couldn't resist ordering them. Lisa, of WPD, spent a lot of time on the phone with me and offered many great suggestions for their use. I am actually using one of her ideas for the shower...thanks, Lisa S! I was also able to change the color of the sticker from the purple shown on the website to an amethyst shade. My order arrived on time and I am thrilled with how the stickers turned out! Thank you!!"
"I have been looking for Thank You stickers for my wedding favors for months, and could not find any that I liked. These are perfect. So much better in person. Our favors will be plates (customary in our culture) and I want them wrapped in silver-foil type paper and these stickers will look great on them."
"My dappled glade invitations just went out and I keep getting emails and texts saying how much people love this design! It's just beautiful, a bit whimsical, and the font keeps it current. Would definitely recommend! These stickers will just help tie everything together."

Recipe from Good Food magazine, November 2011
Comments, questions and tips
I made this at the weekend and really enjoyed it. Have taken some of the leftovers with some pitta bread for lunch. I did make a few tweaks based on the previous comments. I cooked the garlic, ginger and onion with some cumin seeds for 5 mins before adding the courgette and peppers for a further 5 mins. I then added hot chilli pepper. I used veg stock rather than water, used chopped tomatoes with chilli, kidney beans in chilli sauce and added this including the chilli sauce with the butter beans at the same time as the lentils and just added sweet corn for the last 10 mins
Fantastic! I must admit I wasn't really looking forward to this as I recently discovered steak chilli (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1853639/mexican-beef-chilli). However, it was delicious. I altered the recipe slightly, adding cayenne pepper, hot smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed chillis, garlic paste (as well as fresh), and some balsamic vinegar (right at the end). Just served with a sprinkling of parmesan and wholemeal pitta breads, as too tired to do the planned sweet potato wedges.
I added the beans immediately after the tomatoes, so they simmered for the full 30 minutes (thanks carluccio). I think I got 6 portions out of it, using the ingredients listed. Lovely!
Made this today with a few alterations - absolutely delicious. I added a couple of celery sticks in with the rest of the veg, replaced half the chilli powder with ground cumin, replaced the butter beans with black eye beans, added veg stock instead of water, and stirred through a big handful of chopped fresh coriander at the end. Worked really well, will definitely make it again. You also get a huge portion considering the relatively small amount of calories.
Love this recipe! Delicious! I made these to go with ours: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2512/crunchy-new-potatoes
Only had a small tin of butterbeans so added extra small red pepper and a small red onion (as well as a large white one). Also used 3 cloves of garlic because I thought one was skimpy. Portions are very generous here - if you eat a quarter of the recipe as suggested you won't need anything else to go with it as it fills a large bowl (bigger than the ones in the picture). I thought that for under 400 calories this was tasty enough, though a bit bland under the heat of the chilli. Next time I will add more spices, perhaps some cumin and coriander, and saute the onions, ginger, chilli and garlic in the oil for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the veg as this will intensify the flavour. Would definitely make again though, as it's probably one of the best ways to get all your portions of veg for the day in one meal. I'll report back when I make it again with the changes above.
Made this for my husband and young daughter for supper tonight - it went down really well with all 3 of us and it was a perfect warmer for a cold Autumn night!
The fact that it is so good for you - 5 of your 5 a day, lots of vitamins, fibre and folic acid - is a real bonus, as it feels like you are doing something great for your body too. I will certainly be cooking this again. So easy and quick, delicious too! We loved the fiery kick of the chilli and ginger. Thank you Good Food.

NASPE Awards Now a Part of the AAHPERD Recognition Awards Program
The vote to unify AAHPERD and its associations has given AAHPERD a chance to review and improve its awards and recognition program. Our awards program is now unified and deserving individuals will be recognized by the unified AAHPERD. Following the Charlotte vote to unify, President Gale Wiedow designated an ad hoc committee of leaders from each of the former structures (Associations and Research Consortium) to determine awards to be given at the 2014 convention in St. Louis. Many former NASPE awards are now part of the new recognition program.
The committee agreed to designate existing awards to be given in 2014 and those that would be put on hold for a year until more of the structure of AAHERD was determined and appropriate award selection committees could be designated. Reorganizing awards or identifying appropriate selection committees in light of the reorganization will take some time and it was decided a more complete review of individual awards will take place in the coming year.
Criteria used for choosing awards to be included at the 2014 St. Louis convention included 1) centrality to mission of the unified AAHPERD; 2) priority from the former Association/RC; 3) clarity of nomination criteria/process; and 4) number of previous nominations. Additionally, we expanded the criteria for some awards such as the Hall of Fame Award to include all discipline areas of the unified AAHPERD.
We are excited about the opportunity to honor members with the awards to be presented in 2014 and look forward to having the time reorganize awards placed on hold this year as the unified AAHPERD structure and strategic plan is developed and put in place. We look forward to the coming year and the chance to match the award process with the new AAHPERD.
If you have any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

3" unlevel? Is this the Leaning Tower of Pisa? That is probably too thick at the "deep end" for any topping product, but to shallow at the other sider for anything BUT a topping material.
I have had some water damage in my finished basement so I had to gut just about everything. I have fixed the water issue and now am in the process of redoing it before my first child is born, so I am in a bit of a time crunch. The basement area that needs to be leveled is about 10 x 18 and is about 3" unlevel. I want to put down DriCore subfloor system but think I should probably level the floor first, and want to try and do it on my own. I see that DriCore sells a leveling kit so you can raise the panels to any height. I have also read about self leveling products but am stuck as to which is the easiest way to go as time is an issue. It is also framed all around so I am thinking that might come into an issue at some point and I am hoping I can leave the studs on the bottom in tact.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
3" unlevel? Is this the Leaning Tower of Pisa? That is probably too thick at the "deep end" for any topping product, but to shallow at the other sider for anything BUT a topping material.
The fastest, but probably most expensive, would be self-leveling-cement (SLC). To save some on costs, you'd use some pea gravel on the deep end to minimize the amount of slc you needed. You'd probably want to add some blocking between the studs for attaching the bottom of whatever sheet material you are going to put up, since at 3", the bottom stringer would be covered. You'd need to seal under the studwall to keep it from running underneath, and at the doorway to keep it from running out. This can get really complicated if there's a stairway involved, since you'd be changing the height of the last step, which can get you into safety and code issues. You'd also need it so that the slc didn't run behind the wall. Some of the slc materials can be poured as deep as 5" - check the instructions carefully.
This is NOT something you want to do without some help. SLC can start to set in as little as 10-minutes. You want to mix and pour the stuff as fast as you can, and this takes preplanning. A big enough bucket to mix two bags at a time; water pre-measured in batch sets, a 1/2" or larger drill with the appropriate mixing paddle (or buy a drum specifically made for this - you fill it up, then roll it around for 3-minutes or so (a pain, but it works!). You want at least 3 and more people if possible. One to be mixing, and two to help carry and pour the stuff. If you have more, you can be mixing multiple batches at the same time, or use one of the people to set up the next pour by measuring the water and opening the bags - it only takes a little bit of time to pour, but then you may need to help it around into the corners. There're lots of threads on slc at www.johnbridge.com for some more insight on using the stuff.

Fifteen new signature guitars that can help you channel the spirit of your favorite ax slinger.
The definitive guide to Kurt Cobain's pawn shop prizes, stomp boxes and blown woofers.
Guitar World presents a history of the ever-popular phenomenon of signature guitars.
"The artwork tells the story of King Tut's resurrection," Scott McMahon says.
As always, Guitar World paid a visit to the Celestion booth during this year's Winter NAMM Show.
We learned about two brand-new items from the company, the Limited Edition G12-35XC speaker, which was created in honor of the company's 90th anniversary, and the A-Type model.
These videos are bonus content related to the February 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
The gang over at Marshall Amplification's YouTube page have posted a video that demos the company's new Handwired 1973X amp.
This video is bonus content related to the April 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now or at our online store.
Rotosound has announced the launch of a rainbow collection of six new and original retro guitar effects pedals. They include the green Wobbler tremolo, the yellow King Henry phaser, the red Pusher compressor, the blue Crusader chorus, plus the black Aftermath analogue delay and Leveller EQ pedals.
Combining decades of experience with advanced measurement and analysis, the V-Type has been built using a carefully balanced "recipe" of old and new design techniques. It produces a heady, exciting modern vintage sound that just makes you want to keep on playing: a speaker that delivers authentic Celestion tone whatever your style.
In this brand-new video, former Guitar World cover star Orianthi plays and discusses a Fretlight guitar. In fact, the Australian guitarist is Fretlight's latest endorsee.
Norman released its own take named the Parlour SG as part of its Expedition series. The top, back and sides are made of a three-way lamination of wild cherry. The bridge and fretboard are rosewood. The nut and saddle are TUSQ by Graphtech. Additional options include a TRIC case and a Fishman Isys + electronics system with built-in EQ and a tuner.

For advertisers looking for the holy grail in mobile, the iPhone is one of the most attractive targets. And with iAd, Apple is aiming for nothing less than the perfect mobile ad.
But sometimes perfect is the enemy of good, and if rumors that have been circulating are to be believed, Apple's quest for the perfect mobile ad is driving advertisers crazy. It's also driving them away from the advertising solution that's supposed to help them.
According to Business Insider, Adidas may have thrown in the towel on its multi-million dollar iAd campaign because of Apple's micromanagement:
Adidas supposedly pulled its $10+ million ad campaign from the iAd program because Apple CEO Steve Jobs was being too much of a control freak. According to one industry exec, Adidas decided to cancel its iAds after Apple rejected its creative concept for the third time.
Fact or fiction? There's no official word yet, but Adidas wouldn't be the first iAd advertiser to have second thoughts about iAds, and it's always been known that Apple planned to exert an unusual level of control over iAds creative.
Of course, Apple's keen eye and sense of style has been a contributor to the success of its own products and therefore it isn't too farfetched to believe that advertisers would give Apple the benefit of the doubt, even if grudgingly. But Apple must walk a fine line. Exert too little control over creative and iAd probably won't live up to the expectations Apple set; exert too much control and iAd will be unattractive to marketers.
Apple's challenge in dealing with advertisers, of course, is that advertisers know their brands better than Apple does. Apple isn't an agency but in many ways, it's trying to be one with iAd. This could be a deadly mix when combined with an unhealthy desire for control, and expectations that were unrealistic to begin with. It's also problematic that Apple competes in a market in which companies have to get product right (or as close to right as possible) the first time around. After all, if you ship a crummy new device that is a year in the making, lots of money is lost. Yet in the world of advertising, failure can be a good thing. Not every campaign will succeed, but the data collected from failed campaigns can be just as valuable as the data collected from successful campaigns.
That in a nutshell is, in my opinion, the apparent disconnect Apple must resolve if iAd is ever to live up to the hype. iAds don't have to be perfect. They have to be good most of the time. But they never will be if Apple doesn't allow iAd advertisers to launch campaigns, monitor the results and improve them. In other words, if Apple isn't willing to allow its clients to risk failure with their iAd campaign, iAd will inevitably fail.

Navy moves ahead with IT data consolidation
Monday - 1/17/2011, 2:39pm EST
Under a new directive, any spending for servers or data centers that hasn't already been approved, will require a special waiver from the Navy's deputy chief information officer.
Navy has also asked senior commanders to create plans for reducing the number of data centers by 25 percent - and increase server utilization by at least 40 percent.
Navy hopes to have a final enterprise data center consolidation strategy in place by March. They've been getting some experience in that - through a data center consolidation project with the Naval Installation Command.

very nice
By cat
from Bowmanville, On.
I ordered this lovely necklace in green. So nice but had to return it - arthritic hands - the clasp was much too small for me to handle.
Gotta get this
By JAGIRL

I am a fan of this line and was waiting for a matching necklace for a 14k gold ring in the same colour I purchased a few years ago.Perfect love it...please bring more of the Aqua in future. Glad to see the quality has improved too.
Beautiful pendant!
By Nancy

I bought the Blue pendant which is a striking shade of Aqua (a bright but deep turquoise colour). The piece is quite large and noticeable. The only feature that I didn't like that much was the way the bail was attached behind the pendant. It's a bit awkward, although that being said it doesn't really detract from the piece.
