Electronic commerce between businesses has gained substantial momentum. Electronic marketplaces and XML or similar documents have begun to replace traditional EDI formats for commerce-related documents. Still, many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, have not adopted automated EDI or XML document processing. Whatever their size, many businesses face the prospect of an expedited implementation of EDI or XML document processing. It remains easier for large trading partners to generate XML or similar documents than it is for small to medium-sized businesses to adopt the technology needed to process them. In addition, a full scale conversion to EDI or XML transaction processing may involve far more documents than a business can practically convert in a workable time frame or on a reasonable budget.
One problem with the implementation of EDI or XML transaction processing is the complexity and cost of procedural programming to process business documents. Procedural programming, otherwise known as hard coding, requires much effort to describe document transformations and manipulations in procedural terms, using programming languages such as Java and C++. This effort translates into time for implementation and cost of implementation.
In some domains or problem spaces, declarative programming has been introduced. It is generally hoped that so-called declarative programming can make program customization accessible even to non-programmers. At the same time, it has been recognized that declarative programming is best when applied to a limited domain. Accordingly, declarative approaches are narrow and tailored, not generally applied.
Therefore, in the domain of exchanging self-defining, structured documents, it is desirable to develop declarative methods and components for simplifying the handling of documents. Declarative methods and components can improve interactions with users, particularly in the areas of producing documents, presenting error messages and searching for documents.
The present invention includes a method and device for declarative error handling and presentation. A further aspect of the present invention is extending XSLT's document( ) function to merge one or more error documents with a primary document for display. Additional aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
The following detailed description is made with reference to the figures. Preferred and alternative embodiments are described to illustrate the present invention, not to limit its scope, which is defined by the claims. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize a variety of equivalent variations on the description that follows.
From the list of documents in a folder screen, the user can export a document 131, read it 132, or use it as a basis for a new document 133, either by replying to or copying the base document. The document may be exported as an XML, PDF, CSV, HTML or other-formatted document. Standard or user-supplied export filters can be implemented.
The processing of a user request to view a document can be understood by reference to the co-pending application for A Method and Apparatus for Viewing Electronic Commerce-Related Documents at pp. 5-52 and the figures cited therein. In general, a series of style sheets can be constructed for displaying documents. These style sheets may be written in XSLT, or another transformation language applicable to the data type of the documents. A series of style sheets may be written, from generic to highly customized. A rule selector can be used to select among the available style sheets based on criteria such as document type, marketplace identity, sender identity, receiver identity, portal identity or other selected criteria. A directory tree, database or other data structure can be used to access style sheets based upon the criteria used.
A user can select among document types for a resulting reply document 133. The available document types for a resulting reply document depend on the document type of the starting document type, for instance a starting document selected from a list of documents 123.
The document type selection screen of
A document being sent is typically a self-describing, structured document. XML documents are a common type of self-describing, structured documents. Fields within this document are self-describing, as the fields are tagged. A sample document having two different types of tagged fields is illustrated in
Referring to
On server 708, one or more services 711-713 may be available. One service may receive the document 711. The same or another service 712 may persistently store the incoming document, for instance in a database 707. One or more databases may be used to store data useful for electronic commerce or other document exchange. A database may include a repository of schemas 741 for standard and entity-defined business documents, a repository of JavaBeans 742, C++ structures, Pascal records or scripts useful to electronic commerce, a document map repository 743 for translation of documents from one format to another (e.g., the xCBL format to an export format) and for transformation of documents from one type to another (e.g., from a request for quotation to a quotation.) The database may further include a report layout repository 744 and a presentation layout repository 745. The presentation layout repository may include declarative transformations for changing documents from a Sox document format to an HTML format, and back again. The transmission properties data describes the transport information needed to sent a business document to a recipient. For example, SSL security credentials can be stored as transmission properties. A trading partner directory is also useful. The trading partner directory may, as described above, identify URLs to which the sending entity 701 transmits documents. The persistent storage for data 707, 741-47 may be on a single data storage unit or multiple units. Persistent document storage need not be part of a database. An indexed flat file would suffice to store XML-compliant documents. The services host 708 may also host an indexing service to index one or more of the tagged fields. Alternatively, a database system managing the persistent storage or other subsystem may index documents for retrieval. An incoming document may or may not be validated against schema from a schema repository 741, before it is persistently stored. A schema may be used to interpret the document. One or more JavaBeans or scripts may be used to act on the document before it is stored.
One schema for persistently stored documents is illustrated in
Persistent storage of the incoming document may be accompanied by various processing steps. The original document, prior to normalizing, may be stored in a database. Envelope properties may be extracted from the envelope and normalized in a database or other storage. A predefined list of indexed fields, by document type, may be consulted and those fields indexed. Generic document properties, such as date and status, may be extracted from the envelope. The envelope itself may be separately stored. Attachments may be separately stored. Unneeded white space may be removed and name space abbreviations used to reduce storage requirements.
Returning to
A system 704 may be based upon a web server and a servlet container, for instance, compatible with JRun 3. A user interface application 721 may include a homepage 721, an in box 722, one or more services to read the document and/or its attachments 723, services for folder management 724, customized folders 725, searching for and listing documents. An additional service may provide access for downloading template documents 728. The web server may include Microsoft's WebServer software, a Java interpreter such as JRun 3 and a servlet container. A data storage interface may use the resources of a database. A first collection of services 720 is illustrated as being coupled with a transformation engine 730. The transformation engine may include selection logic 732 to select the style sheet for transformation purposes and transformation logic 731 which applies a style sheet to a document.
Sample excerpts of a document to display transformation 1212 for a main processing routine and display of header information with embedded path specifications are reflected in the file "Default_xsl1.txt" on the accompanying CD-ROM of source code.
A draft resulting document also may be generated, in the process of producing the user form. This document may be produced according to a declarative transformation of a starting XML document into a draft resulting XML document. The draft resulting document may include starting values from the starting document. It also may include default values for some fields and directions for completing other fields. The draft resulting document may be stored in memory according to a document-object-model (DOM) or another tree-based representation. Alternatively, the draft resulting document may be stored on disk or in memory in a form compatible with Simple API for XML (SAX or SAX2) or another event-based access model. Or, an event-based API can be used to construct a tree, or traverse an in-memory tree. When a draft resulting document is generated, in addition to a form, the draft resulting document may be maintained in memory while the user works from the form and a document ID can be maintained with other state information for the draft resulting document. Alternatively, a document ID and related information can be transmitted with the user form, even in a stateless fashion, and the draft resulting document constructed after the user's updating of the form. A draft resulting document can be transformed with a display transformation to generate the user form. The display transformation may be generated with an XSLT stylesheet or another set of declarative data.
Sample excerpts of a document to document transformation 1211 from a request for quotation to quotation follows, including portions of a main processing routine and a party copy routine, are reflected in the file "Default_xsl2.txt" on the accompanying CD-ROM of source code.
The user acts upon the form 141. Fields are added, completed or changed. More than one iteration may be required, for instance, if a user adds a line item to a quotation. When the user is ready, the form is posted to the server for validation. One or more types of validation can be applied, such as field validation against a schema (e.g., for well-formedness and valid ranges) and business processing validation against a rule base. For instance, a SOX-compliant xCBL schema and a set of Schematron rules can be used for validation. In
Excerpts from a sample of a user form 141 that produced the sample screen in
The sequence in
One or more errors in the primary document are detected 2004. A secondary self-describing, structured document 2012 including the detected errors is generated. For the detected errors, an error identifier and a path specification identifying a node within the primary document corresponding to one or more of the detected errors are generated. The primary 2001 and secondary 2012 documents are merged 2005 for display 2006. In one embodiment, the secondary document is an XML document. An enhanced version of the XSLT document ( ) function is used to allow retrieval of the secondary document containing error text. The XMLPres component, which implements the XSLT functionality, is an enhanced version of Apache Foundation's Xalan. This component takes into account various concepts such as name spaces in Sox documents and polymorphism. Extension of the document ( ) function enables the loading of an external document to be specified by the invoker.
A context-based search facility is user configurable. Database configuration interfaces may be used for specifying those fields to be indexed. The user interface can be configured to provide user-friendly names to be displayed corresponding to XPath or field element name representations. Configuring the user interface permits fields that have different names in different document types to begin a common, user-friendly name at the user interface.
XPath provides a unique way to identify a field inside a XML document, but it may not be meaningful to an end user. As illustrated in
While the preceding examples are cast in primarily in terms of a method, devices and systems employing this method are easily understood. An electronically readable medium, such as a DVD, CD, memory module, magnetic disk or magnetic tape containing a program capable of practicing aspects the claimed method is one such device. A computer system comprising one or more servers and/or workstations having memory loaded with a program practicing the claimed method is another such device.
While the present invention is disclosed by reference to the preferred embodiments and examples detailed above, it is understood that these examples are intended in an illustrative rather than in a limiting sense. It is contemplated that modifications and combinations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, which modifications and combinations will be within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the following claims.

Thank you, Vince. Good morning and welcome to the TGC Industries fourth quarter and year end 2012 conference call. We appreciate you joining us today. Your hosts are Wayne Whitener, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jim Brata, Chief Financial Officer.
Before I turn the call over to management, I have a few items to cover. If you would like to listen to a replay of today's call, it is available via webcast by going to the Investor Relations section of the company's website at tgcseismic.com or via a recorded instant replay until March 11. Information on how to access the replay was provided in this morning's earnings release. Information reported on this call speaks only as of today, Monday, February 25, 2013, and therefore you're advised that time-sensitive information may no longer be accurate as of the time of any replay.
Before we begin, let me remind you that certain statements made by management during this call may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements regarding the company's future performance are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which the company is unable to predict or control, that may cause the company's actual future results or performance to materially differ from any future results or performance expressed or implied by those statements.
These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors disclosed by the company from time to time in its filings with the SEC, including in its annual reform -- report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Furthermore, as we start this call, please also refer to the statement regarding forward-looking statements incorporated in our press release issued this morning, and please note that the contents of our conference call are covered by these statements.
I will now turn the call over to Wayne Whitener.
Wayne A. Whitener
Thank you, Jack. Good morning to everyone. Thank you for joining us today for our fourth quarter and year end 2012 earnings call. I would like to make some initial comments and Jim Brata will provide you with some financial details, then I will conclude with some remarks about our markets and business going forward.
We're extremely pleased with our quarterly and full year results, both of which reached record levels. I will begin by commenting on the quarter, which was a fourth quarter record in terms of revenue, earnings and EBITDA. Revenues increased 44% from a year ago to $57 million, earnings per share rose 18% to $0.20, and EBITDA rose 26% to $14 million. We operated 9 crews in the U.S. for the entire fourth quarter and began the quarter with 4 crews in Canada. As the Canadian winter season progressed, we added an additional crew, ending the quarter with 5 crews working in Canada.
Our U.S. crews are currently working in South Texas, Kansas, the Utica Shale, the Marcellus and the Permian Basin. Our Canadian crews are operating in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. During the fourth quarter and through 2012 we benefited from the production of our new equipment and enhanced efficiencies of our crews. Over the past 3 years, we have invested over $100 million in new advanced equipment in order to continue providing our customers with the latest available technology, as well as maintain the optimum crew efficiency. As part of that investment during the last 18 months, we acquired approximately 70,000 wireless channels enabling us to be one of the largest fleets of Geospace wireless data acquisition units in North America. We believe we now have the latest and most technological-advanced seismic acquisition fleet in North America.
At the same time, we have continued to maintain our low-cost structure, as evidenced with our SG&A expense ratio being that in the 4% range for both the quarter and the year. For 2012, we also generated record revenues in terms of revenues, earnings and EBITDA. Annual revenues increased 30% to $196 million. Earnings per share rose 42% to $0.75 and EBITDA rose 40% to $52 million. We ended the year with a backlog of $81 million as we've been efficiently working through our Canadian backlog. Since year-end, we have added an additional crew in Canada and now operating 9 crews in the U.S. and 6 crews in Canada for a total of 15 crews.
I will now turn over the call to Jim Brata who will give you some detailed review of our financial results, and then I will come back with some final remarks.
James K. Brata
Thank you, Wayne, and good morning. The revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $57 million, compared to approximately $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. We operated 9 crews in the U.S. during the quarter, compared to 8 crews in last year's fourth quarter. In Canada, we began the fourth quarter with 4 crews and ended with 5, which compares with 4 crews operating in Canada during the entire fourth quarter of last year.

As anticipated, the Assistant Treasurer has announced the reforms to the FOFA legislation the government will introduce. The reforms include removing the 'opt-in' requirement as foreshadowed pre-election. The reforms also include changes to the annual fee disclosure, scaled advice and the exemption of general advice from conflicted remuneration. There are also changes to the grandfathering provisions.
The Assistant Treasurer says "I am confident that these reforms will ensure that the integrity of the financial advice framework is maintained whilst delivering a system that offers affordable and accessible financial advice to the Australian community."
In an interview with ABC's business editor, Peter Ryan, the Assistant Treasurer says there will be 'plenty of opportunity' during the Parliamentary process for people to 'debate the merits' of these reforms.

Cover and out? McNabb latest Madden star to fall
Updated: September 25, 2006, 6:18 PM ETBy Darren Rovell | ESPN.com
Editor's note: This story was first published in November of 2005, after Donovan McNabb's season was ended by a sports hernia.
Executives at Electronic Arts might one day find it challenging to get an NFL player to pose on the cover for its Madden game.
Chalk up another one to the "Madden curse," now that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has elected to have surgery to repair his sports hernia and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
After the video game company ...

Review: Despite flaws, voice search has potential
The digital assistants offered two very different responses when I asked: "Why is it too cold?" Google Now's list of websites starts with one on biking in cold weather. Siri speaks out the current temperature and shows me a graphic with forecast for the next several hours, while insisting, "I don't find that particularly cold."
I had the most fun asking both about the meaning of life. Predictably, Google Now returns links to a bunch of websites, plus an ad on top for the Mormon church. Siri is armed with more than a dozen witty responses. One is "42," a punch line from the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Another time, she tells me it's chocolate. Yet another, she responds with a dictionary definition of life.
Siri excels with restaurants, in part because of Apple's partnerships with the reviews site Yelp and restaurant-reservation service OpenTable. Ask for Italian restaurants, and Siri offers you several - with information on price range, average user ratings on Yelp and distance from your current location. Ask for GOOD Italian restaurants, and Siri sorts those restaurants by rating.
Ask for reservations, and Siri gives you a few choices with open spots, whether you're looking for something tomorrow night or this weekend. Just tap on one to complete the reservation through OpenTable.
Google Now sometimes gives me a link to OpenTable or information from Google-owned Zagat, but other requests simply lead to restaurants' websites and paid ads.
As for movies, both will give you movie showtimes and let you buy tickets, though for tickets iPhone users will need a free software update to iOS 6.1, which came out in late January. In addition, Siri can only buy tickets through Fandango, not MovieTickets or other rivals.
Both correctly give me latest sports scores, though I stumped Google Now when I asked how a particular team was doing. Google Now simply gives me the latest score, while Siri tells me where the team is in the standings. When I asked about the Detroit Lions a few months ago, she preceded the response with "Uh, oh." I chuckled at the phone when I heard that. The Lions finished the 2012 NFL regular season in last place in the NFC North division.
Siri is better at integrating with the phone's calendar and alarm clock. When I ask for an alarm for "tomorrow night at 7," Siri tells me she can't set anything more than a day ahead, while Google Now simply sets one. Imagine the embarrassment should my alarm clock go off while out with friends at a show.
I asked Siri whether I'm free on Monday. In a recent reply, she said my calendar is clear, while Google Now gave me a website discussing "murder-free Monday." Google Now is smarter, though, in creating a calendar reminder for movie plans with Tony, as Siri stumbles trying to find a movie called "plans with Tony." She does successfully create one for dinner with Tony, after warning of a conflict on my schedule.

Portland, Maine - California has its raisins, Florida its oranges and Vermont has maple syrup. Now, Maine's lobster industry is trying to market its brand more broadly and increase sales of the state's best-known seafood.
The annual marketing budget for lobsters will increase more than six-fold to $2.2 million under a law taking effect in October, launching what some call a new era for the industry. The goal is to get more people in the U.S. and abroad to buy more Maine lobster and related products at restaurants and in stores, while increasing prices to help fishermen boost their incomes.
Marketing was little more than an afterthought in the lobster industry before the 1990s, when the annual catch was typically 20 million pounds or less. That changed in 1991 with the creation of the industry-funded Maine Lobster Promotion Council, a small operation whose budget this past year was around $370,000.
But the lobster harvest has ballooned to previously unimagined levels - a record 127 million pounds was hauled in Maine last year - and prices have remained low since tanking when the global economy went sour in 2008. Fishermen last year received $2.69 a pound on average for their catch, a nearly 40 percent drop since 2007 and the lowest price since 1994. So lobstermen for the most part agree that the industry needs to somehow better market its product.
"If this thing works right," said John Sauve, whose Portland marketing firm was hired to guide the process, "the headlines will go from there being a glut of supply to a glut of demand."
Maine is well-known for its lobsters. Still, the industry might have some inherent hurdles to overcome to increase sales, said Mark Lang, a professor of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. People don't usually think "lobster" when asking themselves what they should fix for dinner, he said. They also perceive it to be expensive and hard to prepare.
But there are plenty of positive associations with Maine lobsters, such as cold ocean waters, the nostalgia of how it's caught and it being an American product, he said.
"There are a lot of nice connotations attached to lobster, so they're in a good starting place," he said. "They're not trying to fix something that's bad."
There are dozens of marketing initiatives nationwide for food products as diverse as raisins, cranberries, milk, beef, pork and citrus.
The key to a successful marketing campaign is to show how a product differs from others in a way that's important to customers, Lang said. That difference might be its flavor, how it can be prepared or its sustainability.
"It gives the customer a reason why to select a product over alternatives," he said.
For Maine's campaign, an 11-member board will create a three-year marketing plan with a detailed plan and budget in the coming months, said Sauve, managing director of the Food and Wellness Group marketing firm in Portland. By law, the plan has to be presented to the Legislature in January.
The board, called the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative, replaces the smaller council. It will be funded through increases in license fees for fishermen and lobster dealers and processors. Its budget is projected to be $750,000 for the current fiscal year, $1.5 million next year and $2.2 million after that.
The members of the collaborative - four lobstermen, three lobster wholesalers and dealers, two members of the public, and state agency representatives - will devise strategies and tactics with Sauve's help on marketing lobsters to consumers, restaurants and retailers.
The campaign is long overdue, said Patrice McCarron, executive director of the Maine Lobstermen's Association.
The Maine lobster competes with a lot of other foods, including the same lobster species that's caught in Canada and spiny lobsters from the Caribbean and other warm-water locations, she said. Like Maine's harvest, Canada's lobster catch has also surged in recent years.
"You compete lobster to lobster. You compete lobster to seafood," she said. "As you go down the food chain, you compete against other proteins."

Sparkling, Dessert, Fortified wines
Sparkling, Dessert and Fortified Wines
At not much more than half the price of decent, entry-level Champagne, the sparkling wines of Limoux represent excellent value for money and are perfect for any occasion, with or without food. We also list a wide range of sweet wines from South-West France, Roussillon, Languedoc and the Loire Valley. And these wines are not just for desserts - many of them pair remarkably well with savoury foods such as cheeses, patés, terrines and foie gras. And, of course, Banyuls and Maury are amongst the (very) few wine styles that can stand up to being matched with chocolate - and Christmas cakes and puddings. Enjoy!

A fruity, grapey nose, with hints of sweet apples and oranges. The palate is clean and super-fresh, with a fine, persistent mousse, very slightly off-dry, with bags of fruit. 15 months ageing on its lees makes for a toasty, quite opulent style, with rich, spiced apple fruit and real mineral depth. A really cracking sparkler, and a match for many a Champagne.

Following a slow fermentation of the grapes, the resulting dry wine is then put through the classic "méthode traditionelle" process, with the addition of a little sugar and a second fermentation in the bottle. The wine is then matured for 10 months in bottle before release. Ultra-pale straw in colour, with a lively mousse and a fine, persistent bead. The nose displays myriad aromas, notably cut lime, apple skin
, clove and brioche, with definite mineral and herby hints. The palate is mouth-filling, rich and packed full of honey, spiced apple and orange flavours, with hints of something even deeper, like fig or date or even licorice - I can't quite put my finger on it, but it makes for an unusual sparkler, with genuine depth of flavour. And very long, too, with a lovely core of lemon/lime acidity carrying all the way to a delightfully bitter-sweet finish. A really quite delicious and unusual wine.

The colour is a bright, limpid, shiny, pale gold. The nose is surprisingly complex, with aromas of quince, papaya, pineapple, fresh root ginger and fleeting hints of coconut oil and petrol. The texture is at the same time luscious and utterly mouth-watering. An intense attack of bitter-sweet citrus and crystallised white fruits gives way to a wonderfully tangy, semi-dry mid-palate, followed by a lingering, tangy, spiced orange marmalade finish. In the hierarchy of Montesquiou's sweet wines, this is strictly speaking the "entry level", and whilst the Gros Manseng is perhaps a touch more rustic than the noble Petit Manseng of Grappe d'Or, it is in many ways almost as compelling and contrary. Even for an estate that simply doesn't know how to make average wines, this is somewhat of a mini-masterpiece.

The grapes for this wine are harvested deep into November, by which time they have begun to dry on the vine, concentrating the flavours, whilst retaining all of the bracing acidity which is the hallmark of Petit Manseng. The colour is a very enticing shiny, rich yellow-gold. The nose has everything, from tangy lemon and lime oil, baked apples and apricots, through to figs, toffee, ginger and exotic spices and herbs. And it almost goes without saying that you can smell the minerality. The palate hits you with a mouthful of sweet, rich apricot and peach flavours, with a viscous but never gloopy texture, and all manner of fresh and preserved citrus and tree fruit flavours. And then you get that incredible wave of nervy acidity and steely minerality, followed by a warm, spice and ginger hit at the end. Not that anything sticks out, as it all comes together beautifully, in a wine that keeps you coming back for more. And with every sip, it reveals yet more layers of complexity and wonderfulness! A quite stunning wine, and one which I could never tire of drinking.

This is made from the estate's oldest Petit Manseng vines, with grapes harvested during a succession of "tries" (passes) through the vineyard, during late November and early December. Read my note on Grappe d'or (above) and then add on another month or so of hang time on the vines and a few more superlatives, and this is what you get. Several more notches up the ripeness scale, this really is a super-concentrated version. Pure 24 carat gold in colour, with a nose that possesses everything that Grappe d'Or has, along with candied fruits of all descriptions and colours and notes of toasted almonds, diesel and woodsmoke, basil and oregano. A hint of honey even suggests a touch of botrytis (on both the nose and palate) whilst the acidity is definitely more tangerine and seville orange than the lemon/lime of its sibling, still wonderfully bracing and tangy, but richer and fuller, and with all sorts of apple crumble, honeycomb, raisin and mixed spice things going on. At £28 for a full 75cl bottle, this really does provide amazing value for money. Plus of course it will keep for weeks, or even months in the fridge, once opened - if you can resist, that is! A quite extraordinarily lovely wine.

Great now, but will improve and evolve for 5 to 10 years
The label says "Mout de raisins partiellement fermenté - Issue de raisins passerillés". Which basically means a wine from grapes harvested very late in the season (and therefore partially raisined on the vine). There is no AOC for such wines in Languedoc, hence the simple Vin de Table denomination. No vintage is allowed on the label, but this is from the 2007 vintage. It is fashioned from 100% Bourboulenc, a grape also occasionally known as Malvoisie. This wine is a rich, shiny 24-carat gold colour with orange tinges. The nose is sublime, offering captivating aromas of bonfire toffee, candied orange peel, marzipan, fig, honeysuckle and rose, whilst the palate is simply bursting with flavours of autumn fruits, preserved citrus, root ginger and toffee. It caresses the tongue with intensely concentrated fruit, before unleashing a rasp of limey acidity that makes the tongue tingle. The finish is immense, lasting for literally minutes, whilst revealing hitherto unnoticed flavours of toffee apple, lemon sorbet, clove and cinnamon, not to mention just about every exotic fruit nuance you could care to mention. Although this wine is really lovely when first opened, it gets better and better after literally a week or two, as the underlying acidity begins to eat away at, and integrate with, the inherent sweetness. So don't judge it on first impression - take as long as you possibly can to finish the bottle - if you can resist - and you will be richly rewarded. A lovely, lovely wine.

Domaine Treloar MO2 N/V Vin de France (50cl)
Treloar MO2 2009
Strictly speaking, non-vintage, but made from grapes from the 2009 harvest
Trouillas, south-west of Perpignan
White, almost dry, lightly fortified
100% Muscat à Petit Grains
Alcohol (a.b.v)
Aperitif, foie gras, patés, cheeses
Next day
Stays fresh for many days after opening
Anytime over the next 5 to 50 years!
Described by winemaker Jon Hesford as "fermented in the presence of oxygen until dry, fortified with grape spirit and aged in a 2 year-old oak barrel with headspace, out in the sun". Basically, it was a batch of Muscat that "went wrong" (i.e. oxidised - hence the name) due to a technical fault with a grape press. Instead of sending the resulting juice to be distilled, Jon decided to experiment. The result is a wine that to all intents and purposes looks and smells like a slightly nutty (in both senses of the word) Muscat de Rivesaltes, a deep-ish orange/gold colour with orange marmalade and solera/flor-like notes, classic Muscat grapiness, a touch of honey, perhaps even a hint of digestive biscuit and a subtle herbiness. And whilst your nose prepares you for a sweet wine, the palate is very definitely almost dry, with only the fortifying grape spirit contributing a perception of "off-dryness". Conversely, the texture is quite rich and unctious, coating the mouth with delicious grapey, marmaladey, buttery/biscuity and nutty flavours, yet remaining steadfastly refreshing and distinctly tangy. This really is a wine for contemplation ,and the length, by the way, is immense - unlike Parker, I'm not one to put the stopwatch on, but we're talking minutes, rather than seconds. I could try and categorise it, but that would be unfair to a wine that is - albeit by accident, rather than design - pretty unique. In short, it is completely and utterly lovely.

With a miniscule yield of just 8 hl/ha, just 1,000 50cl bottles are produced annually (if at all - in some years the autumn conditions are not right). After the main harvest, 2 bunches are left on each vine, which dry naturally on the vine, before being picked at the end of October. Fermentation stops naturally at around 15% abv. The resulting wine is then placed in 5 year-old barrels for 2 years before bottling. A beautiful dark purple colour with brick red glints, with an intense nose of preserved red fruits, prunes, fresh bramble and spice, with subtle notes of arabica coffee, nuts, and woodsmoke and just a hint of toasty oak. The palate is wonderfully complex and rich, yet beautifully poised and fresh, with fine tannins, a hint of balsamic and a very long finish. A delicious and very unusual wine - and a little goes a long way!

Domaine de La Garance Bruixas Vin de Liqueur Solera Hors d'Age

Aperitif, after dinner, blue cheeses, rich fruit cakes.
Next day
Lasts for weeks, once opened
Now, or over the next 20 or more years
100% old-vine Grenache, blended from the fruit of no less than 5 different vintages (from 2001 onwards) and lightly fortified. There's a fine sediment, courtesy of having spent several years in barrel, and bottled without fining or filtering, but it pours a pale, limpid tawny/mahogany colour, fading gently to an even paler rim. The nose is quite beguiling - coffee grounds, chocolate, molasses, fig, burnt orange, polished wood and a wonderfully evocative hint of autumn forest floor, not to mention an impressive array of preserved red and black berry aromas. There's also the vaguest hint of fine eau de vie, but this is such a gently fortified wine that neither the nose nor the palate shows too much in the way of alcohol. The palate is gloriously smooth and generous, combining flavours of rich fruitcake, orange peel, fig, molasses, lapsang tea and mocha, with a long, tangy, earthy finish. Beautifully resolved tannins and a streak of tangy sour cherry acidity complete the package, in an utterly more-ish wine of great depth and complexity. Similar in style to an aged vintage Maury or Banyuls. A wonderful wine.

Domaine Piétri-Géraud Banyuls Blanc 2010
Banyuls - by the Mediterranean, near the Spanish border
Full-bodied fortified white, aged 1 year in new oak barrels
100% Grenache Blanc
Alcohol (a.b.v)
Cheeses, patés, fresh fruit, creme brulée, fruit puddings
Next day
Lasts for weeks after opening
Excellent now,
or will age for up to years(!)
A luscious yet delicate sweet wine, with 118 g/l of residual sugar and very lightly fortified, this has a medium gold colour - no deeper than a rich dry white. The nose offers notes of honey, apricot, orange blossom, lime oil and toasted almonds, with subtle hints of nettles, celery and garrigue herbs. Even after ageing for a year in new oak barrels, there is only the merest hint of an oak aroma. The entry is rich and honeyed, wit a gently oily texture ,with orange and apricot flavours and a delightfully spicy edge, redolent of fresh root ginger, cinnamon and clove. And then, all of a sudden, a burst of vibrant acidity appears as if from nowhere, and carries the wine all the way to a long, tangy finish. This is a really elegant wine, and not at all heavy - in fact, it is deceptively light and refreshing, as well as gorgeously sweet!

Domaine Piétri-Géraud Cuvée Méditerranée 2009 Banyuls
Domaine Pietri-Geraud Banyuls 2009
Banyuls - by the Mediterranean, near the Spanish border
Full-bodied fortified red, aged in oak barrels
90% Grenache, 10% Carignan - 40 to 100 years old
Alcohol (a.b.v)
Strong cheeses, patés, rich fruit cakes and puddings (including chocolate), dried fruits - versatile!
Next day
Lasts for weeks, once opened
Excellent now,
or will age to 2025 and beyond
Aged for 4 years in an oxidative environment, in old oak barrels left outside exposed to the elements, this an absolute stunner. An earthy yet ethereal perfume of bonfire toffee and molasses, spiced orange peel, cherry, redcurrant, fig, mocha, incense, polished old mahogany..... I think you get the picture. Intoxicating and more-ish, rich, sweetv and laden with preserved fruit intensity and soused Christmas cake flavours, rounded and completely hedonistic, yet so balanced and fleet of foot, with melting tannins and tangy, almost zesty acidity. There's a warming touch of eau de vie on the finish, nicely complementing those wonderful fruit flavours, which go on for an age - and at just 16% abv, this is a fortified wine which majors on fruit, not alcohol. This really is a lovely wine - in fact, Christmas in a glass!
(Including: VAT at 20%)
Domaine Mas de Lavail Expression 2011 Maury
Mas de Lavail Expression 2011 Maury
Maury, west of Perpignan
Red, vin doux naturel
100% old vine Grenache
Alcohol (a.b.v)
So versatile - duck with cherries, foie gras, rich fruit cake, cheese, raspberry sorbet - or simply on its own
Next day
How about weeks? Develops for ages!
Excellent now, or age for 10 to 20 years
100% old vine Grenache, harvested at the peak of maturity, with yields of just 25hl/ha. The grapes are given a long maceration, followed by "mutage sur grains" (the addition of a small amount of grape brandy to the must) which stops the fermentation, thus retaining both an immense core of fruit and a certain amount of residual grape sugar. An opaque black cherry colour, with a tiny raspberry pink rim. As for the nose, well how many adjectives do you need? A more expressive, dense, fruity, spicy, sexy nose is virtually impossible to imagine. It simply reeks of dark cherries, damsons, framboise liqueur, dried orange peel, dark chocolate and exotic spices, all rubbed into a favourite old leather-soled shoe! Breathe even deeper and you get molasses, honey and truffle, not to mention a whole jar full of garrigue herbs. There is the vaguest whiff of savoury/meat in there too, but (for now at least) it really is about the fruit. There is plenty of tannin to give the palate a firm structure, but the almost painfully delicious sweet/sour fruit flavours bully it into submission, augmented by notes of toffee and fig, whilst a rasp of juicy acidity keeps it all vibrant and fresh. I have tasted dry red wines (especially from a certain appellation in the southern Rhône) which come across as more alcoholic than this, but with only a fraction of the fruit. Furthermore, it shows a genuine spicy "warmth", rather than alcoholic heat - and at just 16.5% abv, it is a full 3 or 4 degrees lighter than your average Port. And for this reason, it is a wine that you could conceivably pair with savoury dishes (notably duck or goose with a sweet/sour red fruit sauce) as well as foie gras and patés, cheeses, fruit cakes and other fruity desserts. Failing that, you could just enjoy a glass or two for its own sake. Vintage Maury is one of the world's best and most underrated sweet red wine styles - and this is another truly exceptional example from Mas de Lavail. An absolutely stunning wine - and a true bargain.

Some have enough cash in the till to take leave and go on a world tour many times over. Others have wheels that keep them cruising on the fast lane. Yes, the 'neta' of today's India is a tribe apart.
For instance, who would have thought that the intensely erudite and encyclopedic Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley, fancies high-end cars, and that he's not above craving for and obtaining a unique number-plate for every one of the five cars he has listed in his affidavit.
Yep, each of Jaitley's five cars' front and tail is adorned with 6666... That's one more '6' than the devil's number! Jaitley is fighting the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat and is pitted against someone no less than a high-flying Maharaja in Capt Amrinder Singh, who has labelled Jaitley a rank 'outsider', to be shunned, and voted out.
To escape the 'outsider' tag, Jaitley has purchased a flat in Amritsar for Rs1 crore though, from the photographs, it appears as if he might find it difficult to park all his five cars outside his pad. Looks like, at any time of the year, at least three or even four of his expensive cars will always be 'outsiders' to Amritsar.
Anyway, here's the parking order of Jaitley's cars: Mercedes Benz (DL3 CCM-6666). Price: Rs 78,89,300; BMW (ICL-6666). Price: Rs 86,57,377; Honda Accord (DLICM-6666). Price: Rs 20,44,453; Toyota Fortuner (DL10CA-6666). Only one car in his expensive fleet strays by a digit from '6666' --- a sleek Porche (DL8CW=6660) priced at Rs1,267,506.
If that doesn't give every right to Jaitley to qualify to be an 'insider' in Amritsar, what should? For, isn't he a 'Car-sevak', like hundreds of others in Punjab. In fact, car dealers have cornered almost 25% of the commercial real estate in the state, with showrooms showcasing beauties on wheels.
Before we vroom off, let's also tell you that besides expensive wheels, Jaitley is also a lover of jewellery. He has 5,030gm of gold jewellery, valued at Rs1.36crore; silver jewellery worth Rs7.6 lakh and diamonds that cost him Rs45 lakh. His total wealth is in the range of Rs72 crore with a nice ring to it.

The promise of blue skies, sunshine, and a breeze that brushes against the skin like delicate ocean waves should make anyone eager to go outside and celebrate National Bike Month. Even people who go for that stuff don't mind free giveaways, though. You can get anyone looking forward to May as National Bike Month with promotional merchandise from Quality Logo Products.
Are you a retailer or company hoping to capitalize on the swarms of bicycles that spring will send careening along your local roadways and bike paths? Try handing out some of our bicycle-themed merchandise. We even have stress toys in the shape of bicycles and bike helmets. If you want to reach out to bicyclists but need promotional items that are good beyond the month of May, t-shirts and other tops in bright colors are wonderful for promoting bike safety.
If your own or work at a sporting goods store or bicycle shop, Bike Month is a fine time to advertise your store. In addition to our bicycle-themed items, consider giving away bicycle accessories with purchases made throughout May. We offer sunglasses, bike lights, bicycle seat covers, and of course plenty of bottles designed to hold water and energy drinks, all of which can be customized with your business's logo and information.
For National Bike Month to be successful, it's important for the people involved in maintaining bike paths and trails to promote it. If you're a part of your local government (especially if you work for the park district!), give away bike-related promotional items any time someone visits your office in May. Even better, if your municipality is holding a public event during Bike Month, hand out promo items there as well! Nonprofits and community organizations that encourage outdoor activity can advertise their groups while they promote Bike Month by distributing promotional items, too.
As fun as it is to ride a bicycle, it's also fun to get free giveaways. Like bike riding, promotional products appeal to people of all ages across all demographics and make them feel warm and squishy inside. (Actually, over time, bike riding is more likely to make people feel warm and solid--you know, increased metabolism, better muscle tone, all of that physical wellbeing jazz. We were metaphorically discussing happiness there.) Have some fun with National Bike Month with some fun bicycle-themed promotional items from Quality Logo Products!

Fixed it!!!
I was able to gently pry the squashed edge of the rivet up. I used a piece of sheet metal to protect the blades & held the pin down with a small screw driver. Worked my way around rivet several times with my pocket knife. Then I pressed down the blades from the opposite side with a small fender washer, rivet in the middle. That gave the one blade enough room to move freely. Works like a champ.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

After her ordeal suffering from acute morning sickness and even ending up in hospital, we think Kate Middleton needs some time out.
Kate Middleton and Prince William have gone off on holiday. Copyright [Splash]
And it seems that Prince William agrees, taking pregnant Kate Middleton away on a romantic holiday. Aww.
[Related article: Kate Middleton glowing, no sign of a baby bump]
[Related article: Kate Middleton has a low key birthday party]
Kate Middleton and Prince William have jetted off to the Caribbean for a luxurious holiday as the Duchess of Cambridge recovers from morning sickness.
Royal expert Robert Jobson tweeted: "MUM-to-be the Duchess of Cambridge has jetted to the Caribbean for a holiday with Prince William."
Kate Middleton's last public appearance, where she was looking much better following her morning sickess ordeal. …Apparently the royal pair (and the baby bump) are staying in a £19,000-a-week villa in Mustique. What a bargain. Ahem.
Kate Middleton and Prince William's luxurious stay doesn't end there - the villa has a games room, an infinity pool AND a sea view.
Kate and Wills also have company - her parents are staying in another villa nearby, meaning her mum Carole will be on hand to help, should Kate's morning sickness return.
Kate's mum, Carole (left) and her dad, Michael, are also in Mustique. Copyright [Rex]Prince William and Kate Middleton announced her pregnancy in December after she was hospitalised with severe morning sickness.
Prince William said at the time: "I don't know why they call it morning sickness – they should call it all-day and all-night sickness. It's a long old process but she is getting there. She feels like it is going to go on forever."
This is where Prince William and Kate Middleton are staying. Looks nice doesn't it? Copyright [Rex]Prince Harry recently spoke out about how he felt it was unfair that Kate and William were forced to announce that she was pregnant earlier than they would've liked.
He said: "I think it was very unfair that they were forced to publicise it when they weren't ready, but that's just the media for you. I literally am very very happy for them, but I hope she and him, mainly Catherine, hopefully gets the necessary protection to allow her as a mother, to be able to enjoy the privacy."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting the pitter patter of tiny royal feet in July - and we cannot wait.

Whether you're young or old, from Clear Lake or just vacationing, you're invited to give sailing a try
If you want to really experience Clear Lake, you have to be on the water, says Amy Wagler. And the best way to do that is to hop aboard a sailboat.

The Union government on Thursday told the Bombay High Court that it will decide within 45 days whether to declare Hindu right wing organisation Sanatan Sanstha under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Members of the Santan Sanstha, a terror outfit, have allegedly carried out terror activities in areas around here. A division bench of Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and K.K. Tated was hearing a petition filed by Vijay Rokade seeking a ban on the organisation.
Advocate G.R. Sharma, appearing for the Union government told the court that the Ministry of Home Affairs would look into the State government's proposal and take a decision within 45 days after it was informed that the Maharashtra government has already recommended a ban on the organisation.
"After taking its decision, the Union government will forward its recommendation to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Tribunal which will take a final decision after hearing all parties involved including the organisation," Mr. Sharma said.
The Sanatan Sanstha has three cases, regarding bomb blasts, registered against it, according to the State government's affidavit. The affidavit mentioned that the State Anti-Terrorism Squad had made a request to include the organisation as a terrorist organisation under the UAPA. The next hearing will be held on March 11, when the Centre will have taken its decision.

Gear Review
First Harness!
This is my first climbing harness and I love it! I got the small, I'm 5'3 and 115lb. I have a short torso and it fits me great! It's very comfortable and easy to adjust. I got the Rasberry color and it's color is true to the image. I'm looking forward to warmer temps so I can go climb outside!
Based on the size chart, I got the S, but I really need the XS. I'm 5'4 and 125lbs with a long torso. When I tightened it all the way, I still had a couple inches of space left between me and the harness.
After learning more about climbing and using this harness regularly, I must agree with @biketobrew, I definitely should've gone with an XS. I can cinch this harness all the way up and it fits but not tight enough. I would not feel safe being inverted in it. I will be investing in a smaller harness!

I'm sensing that the new Miley Cyrus 'shocking' motif includes a whole lot of her Pilates tightened bottom sneaking out out tight shorts and her tongue sticking out of her mouth in a semi-salacious sneer. The latter I think still needs a little work from the former Hannah Montana good girl, but as for the former, well, you know we respect the hard-worked Miley booty.
The latest stop in Miley's summer kick off took place on Jimmy Kimmel where the Tennessee girl strutted about the stage, owning her performance like a true pop diva. That is to say, she still can't really sing, but nobody really cared. You can throw this gentleman ogler's hat into the ring on that count as well. I just like to look. Enjoy.

10 September 2013 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European epoxy resins contract prices have dropped by €45-80/tonne depending on grades because of weak demand and overseas competition, sources said on Tuesday.
Liquid epoxy resins contracts settled at €2,480-2,525/tonne ($3,307-3,367/tonne) FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe), a drop of €45-50/tonne, while solid epoxy resins contract prices settled at €2,350-2,400/tonne FD NWE.
European producers have had to lower prices despite higher feedstock costs because they were concerned that they would lose further volumes to Asian importers.
Therefore, to maintain sales and keep competition at bay, European sellers slashed prices to match Asian offers.
According to market sources and ICIS data, imports now make up about 20-30% of the European epoxy resins market and if European producers keep prices higher than Asian offers, the proportion of imports can grow.

Originally published in InsideCounsel on September 7, 2012.
As the Chief Judge of the Third District Court of Appeal in Miami, Florida, I experienced first-hand my colleagues' reluctance to adopt technology. We had the means at our disposal to adopt new methods, such as live streaming our oral arguments, yet some of my colleagues were fearful of unintended consequences. When I first came to the court in January 2000, every judge had a computer, but some would not even turn theirs on, perhaps still suffering from the Y2K hysteria.
Now that I am an arbitrator and mediator with JAMS, I have encountered the same anti-technology qualms. We have made tremendous strides in making conference calls cheaper. For those of us who have suffered through the adversities of airplane travel, the option of appearing by telephone can be quite attractive. Yet I hear: "I want to see people in the flesh; I want to read their body language." As an attorney for 13 years, a judge for 12 years and an appellate judge for another 12 years, I believe people's professed ability to read body language is very overrated. My credibility determinations were based more on whether the witnesses' stories made sense, rather than in what direction they averted their eyes. I am not advocating abandoning face-to-face ADR sessions in most cases. They are unquestionably more valuable than telephonic ones. But I do believe that technology will not wait for us to become more comfortable with its advances. We need to stay current with innovation and adopt those improvements that work.

(One cannot somberly beatbox.) Afterward, Fresh still spends 45 minutes or so onstage, actually, but it's essentially an after-party nowhis DJ cycles through reggae hits (everyone, even those filing out, sings along to "Redemption Song"), Fresh brings up his son's hip-hop group, etc. As they pick their way through the shockingly massive crowd, grown menat least 42, y'allappear to be skipping, and a few jump up and swing from the goalposts as they pass, like bright-eyed little kids who know exactly what they'll watch, what they'll watch it on, and what they'll eat while they're watching when they get home.

Writers may want to exploit this, it could be interesting, the host of the Riot symbiote, a spawn of Venom, was name Trevor Cole... Eddie Brock's friend/sidekick is named Jenna Cole... Maybe Trevor could be retconned as her brother or father, and since Eddie knows the details of his death at the hands of Scream, it could be a fun story.
