About Denpasar
Denpasar is the capital and most populated city of Bali. It is the city where most tourists arrive as the only airport of the island is located here. However, it is not worth staying here much longer than it takes to rest after a long flight, as the city offers little charm and very few attractions and is the perfect example of an overcrowded and extremely polluted Asian city. In fact, most foreigners stop here only to arrange visa issues, do some shopping for electronics, or enjoy the cheap food that's sold at prices unseen in any other parts of the island.
The few sights that the city boasts include the Museum Negeri Propinsi Bali, which offers a haphazardly organised exhibition about Balinese culture; the Pura Jagatnatha, a state temple dedicated to Sanghyang Widi; and the Bajra Sandhi Monument, an impressive monument celebrating Bali's history. If you are not in search of museums, however, you are better off taking day trips from Denpasar to the nice beach resort towns of Sanur (thirty minutes from Denpasar), Seminyak (twenty minutes from Denpasar), Nusa Dua (forty minutes from Denpasar), or discover one of the spectacular centuries-old Hindu temples, including Uluwatu to the south and Tanah Lot to the west.
Transportation from Denpasar to the most popular tourist attractions is quite easy, even if you do not have your own vehicle. The modern and air-conditioned Sarbagita buses take people around the southern part of the island for a reasonable fee. Because of its location right in the middle of the island, Denpasar has a very warm climate with temperature constantly in the zone of twenty-eight to thirty-three degrees Celsius.

Lost traffic caused by the latest Penguin update?
Regardless of whether your traffic from Google got hammered after the Algorithm update on the 24th April or not, these SEO tips should be factored in to your online marketing, SEO and content writing strategy in the future.
Keyword Stuffing
'Keyword stuffing occurs when a web page is loaded with keywords in the content'.
Innocent mistake or trying too hard to rank higher?
Many search engine optimization specialists recommend using keyword tools like the Google adwords to find related words which have the same meaning. Using too many keywords in your post & page titles (including duplicate keywords), headings and sub headings, can be make your site look spammy.
Yes its correct to use descriptive keywords in all these areas, including image file names, titles, alt text and descriptions, however don't over do it. If in doubt, check out Google's quality guidelines which also include examples of good SEO practices and whats not.
Solution - Avoid keyword stuffing by checking the density of keywords to make sure you haven't stuffed too many in your content.
There is also a plugin for checking your content doesn't contain too many keywords.
Article Spinning
Solution - Stop spinning articles with similar recycled content that you or someone else has rewritten to link farms in order to try and build back links and traffic to your site.
Websites that recommend or link to article spinning software: If you're following any blogs, no matter how popular they are and how much money they say they are making, STOP and unsubscribe from receiving any more article marketing scam newsletters from them.
Anyone that recommends them as well and knows they use affiliate links to this type of software is doing you no favors.
Same Anchor Text
Any of these type of links can be penalized: paid text links using exact match anchor text, comment spam, guest posts on questionable sites, article marketing sites, and links from dangerous sites.
Solution: Check your anchor text from incoming links using Bing's link explorer tool: Not a lot you can do about this especially if a bad site has scraped your content or performed negative SEO on your site.
You can use different tools to check your link profile like Open Site Explorer or Google webmaster tools.
Here's an example of 5 domains with excessive incoming links to my site which i detected in using Google webmaster tools,.
Here's some examples of incoming link profiles from micrositemasters post on Link Over Optimization.

If your traffic hasn't been effected from Bing, it would be a good idea to find out the reasons you have been penalized and fix the problems before Bing gets you as well.
Bing webmaster tools help you discover which areas of your site may need work to comply with SEO best practices.

Young people today aren't interested in being pulled away from socializing with friends, going to class and studying. When they're ready to find that first meaningful job, they'll come looking for you, so you need to do it their way if you want to connect with the best and the brightest, says Lauren Friese, founder of TalentEgg.ca, a career website for 18- to 24-year-old students and recent graduates.
"Old recruiting methods, such as setting up a booth at a special time and day, interrupting students from their day-to-day rhythms, aren't as effective as they used to be," says Ms. Friese, who launched the site in 2006. "Top students don't show up at job fairs because they're too busy doing the things that matter to them as a student. What employers are starting to realize today is that they have to integrate their recruitment messages into media that is targeted to students when they're looking for jobs."
The timing of traditional campus recruiting is all wrong, says Ms. Friese. University job fairs are typically held when students aren't looking for jobs.
Lauren Friese on how young people are "ad-blocking ninjas"
"The interesting thing about student traffic on Talent Egg is that employers tend to do all their recruiting on their schedule, which is September for entry-level positions and January for summer internships," says Ms. Friese. "Students are completely unaware of this. They tend to look for jobs when it makes sense for them, so our traffic really spikes at the end of January, February, March and April, when students are getting ready to graduate. It's a fundamental problem with campus recruitment today."
A member of Gen-Y herself, defined roughly as people born between 1980 and 1999, Ms. Friese says the most important thing to know about this generation is that they grew up able to access information whenever they wanted in whatever medium they wanted. So they're not about to be forced into consuming information when a marketer or recruiter wants to speak to them.
"Employers have to realize that information about them needs to be available constantly when students are looking for information," says Ms. Friese. "You need to help the top students find you and the jobs with your company."
More Human Resources stories:
"To attract Gen-Y, employers first and foremost need to be where and when students are looking for them," says Ms. Friese. "What's the number one tool that student use when they want to find things? Google."
But why should employers cater to what Gen-Y wants? Simply put, now that the financial crisis is easing up, baby boomers are thinking about retirement. Companies will need Gen-Y.
"There will always be competition for top talent," says Ms. Friese. "There aren't enough A-players out there - never are."
Meet the companies that offer Canada's best benefits for younger workers
Ms. Friese suggests that companies often miss great people by being too narrow in their recruiting. She says that most recruiters are only looking for students with engineering or business degrees, but the vast majority of students fall outside of that. She advises employers to broaden their scope and realize that intelligent students may be fantastic in other areas with a little training because their learning curve is so quick.
Another mistake companies make is in their language and tone. If they want to appeal to Gen-Y, their communications need to be authentic.
"The type of communications that have gone through your PR department, then your legal department and back to your website won't appeal to Gen-Y," says Ms. Friese. "Write like a real person - like you're talking to someone in a tone that is relatable and genuine. Aside from being ad-blocking ninjas, Gen-Y have BS detectors in their heads."

TELEVISION / RADIO; The Hero as Gangster and Wandering Jew
Published: February 21, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
To make his points about family and about Jewishness, Mr. Mamet concedes, he may not have shown absolute fidelity to the historical personae. ''In the end, I made it up,'' he said. ''I don't know if it's the way he thought. It's not the Discovery Channel. It's a drama.''
Lansky's life story is not, on the face of it, great movie material, although his beginnings were dramatic. He immigrated from Poland, where he witnessed pogroms and the murder of his grandfather at the hands of a mob. His family made it to New York, where he learned to stand up for himself in the tough training ground of the streets. He committed his first murder, of a gambling rival, when he was little more than a boy. His protector was another Jew, Ben Siegel, later called Bugsy, who was a lifelong friend, until Lansky acquiesced in his killing at the hands of the mob for failing to make a success of his Mafia-financed Las Vegas casino.
But Lansky's forte was the business of organized crime rather than the warfare of a street soldier, and so the movie is largely the tale of someone who saw himself as a businessman, even if the business, gambling, was an illegal one.
It was not that point of view, it seems, that almost blocked ''Lansky'' from being made, though. The script, with its unhurried pace, fractured dialogue and unconventional narrative style, jumping back and forth in time, was almost dropped by HBO. Mr. Mamet, originally hired in May 1995 to write the script, delivered it in January 1996. HBO suggested some changes to create a clearer narrative and had it rewritten, but lost interest in the project. The script sat on a shelf. Two years later the new chairman, Jeff Bewkes, and the new president of HBO Productions, John Matoian, took another look and finally gave it the green light last June.
Further changes were proposed, but Mr. Mamet essentially ignored them. Mr. Bewkes explained: ''The truth is, he said, 'I hear you, but I'm going to do it this way.' We decided that was O.K.''
And so many distinctive Mamet touches are in the script, particularly dialogue with battered syntax and messages that are at best elusive. At one point, Lansky sums up the immigrant experience this way: ''Time passes. The dust settles. Then it's over and done with.'' In another scene, Lansky defends himself for running illegal gambling operations by insisting that the Government eventually will get into the gambling, prostitution and drug businesses. ''Do you believe that?'' Lansky asks. ''Sore throat, chicken soup.''
Then, near the end, when he is talking to a journalist in Wolfie's about his life, he concludes: ''Who you are is who you are, and that's everyone. You want some more coffee?''
Ultimately, the answers Mr. Mamet supplies are implicit, felt rather than enunciated. After Lansky has a heart attack and is lying in a hospital bed, he motions for the nurse to come close. ''I'll tell you a secret,'' he says. ''I'll tell you a secret.'' Then he drifts off, the answer withheld.

Former major leaguer Edgardo Alfonzo ended his 20-year professional baseball career on Sunday. ''It's the right time to do it,'' said Alfonzo, a 39-year-old second and third baseman, speaking after playing his last game for los Navegantes, one of the most popular teams of Venezuela's professional winter league. During a 12-year career in the majors, Alfonzo appeared in 1,506 games for San Francisco, Anaheim, Toronto and the New York Mets, finishing with a .284 average, 146 homers and 744 RBIs. Alfonzo was an All-Star with the Mets in 2000 and was on the team in their World Series appearance against the crosstown Yankees that year. In Venezuela, Alfonzo played for los Navegantes for 15 seasons, winning three championships. He also played a season with the Aragua Tigers, helping them win a championship. He represented Venezuela in the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

Polar Vortex Expected to Affect 140 Million
Old Man Winter is bringing an Arctic blast of weather including a polar vortex to much of the United States this weekend. About half of the country's population, 140 million people, are expected to be affected by temperatures plunging to zero or below. Ohio is preparing for the coldest weather to hit the state in twenty years.
A polar vortex, according to meteorologist Phillip Schumacher of the National Weather Service, is "the mother lode of cold air." A polar vortex is a pool of cold, dense air that rotates in a counterclockwise direction. He added that they usually remain in Canada, but the polar vortex on its way is "going to come all the way into the eastern United States."
This new wave of freezing weather is coming on the heels of a ferocious nor'easter that swept through 20 states, leaving them blanketed with snow and ice. That was just a hint of the cold weather to come this weekend and next week.
According to CNN, on Sunday in North Dakota temperatures are expected to get as low as 30 degrees below zero. With the wind chill added in, the temperature will feel like minus 50, according to the National Weather Service.
The Arctic blast and polar vortex might send subzero temperatures as far south as Alabama, and bring single-digit temperatures to many other Deep South states.
How deadly was the past week's winter weather?
According to CNN, the last week's devastating nor'easter and cold temperatures, an ominous harbinger of the Arctic blast that's set to affect much of the United States, resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people, with 11 of them dying due to hazardous road conditions and driving accidents.
Hypothermia claimed the life of a man in Wisconsin, and the bitter cold also claimed the life of a 71-year-old woman in Byron, New York, with Alzheimers disease. Thursday night, she left her home, and she was later discovered dead just 100 yards away, in a snowy wooded area.
As a preemptive measure for the polar vortex of freezing temperatures set to arrive, Minnesota's Governor Mark Dayton has already announced that schools statewide will be closed this Monday.
The polar vortex is a recipe for hypothermia and frostbite
Local media in the states that will be affected by the polar vortex, as well as national media, are warning about the dangers of being outside in the frigid temperatures and harsh winds for an extended period of time.
For instance, the weather service of Twin Cities, Minnesota, is reminding residents that in conditions when there's "wind chills colder than 50 below," it only takes around five minutes to freeze exposed flesh.
By Monday night at the latest, residents of the Midwest will be threatened by the risk of getting hypothermia and frostbite.
In response to this, Indian Governor Mike Pence is asking Hoosiers to get emergency preparedness kits ready for the arrival of the latest Arctic blast of winter. The kits should include, according to Pence, items such as necessary prescriptions and non-perishable bottled water and food. Pence also urged residents to avoid any "unnecessary travel."
In Chicago on Sunday night, the temperatures will be as low as 16-20 degrees below zero. The wind chill blowing off of Lake Michigan will make it feel more like the temperature will be even lower, 35-45 below zero.
The polar vortex will affect approximately half of the continental U.S., and there's expected to be snow storms from the Plains to New England. Even Nashville could experience zero-degree temperatures at the start of the coming week.
Many flights have already been canceled in the states affected by the last winter storm, and thousands of people are stranded at airports. According to FlightAware.com, on Friday alone, around 3,200 flights were canceled.
If you reside in any of the states that are set to be affected by the arrival of the polar vortex and fresh winter snow storms, if you must go outside at all, make sure that you're bundled up and wearing a coat and gloves. Also, keep extra blankets in your car in case you get stranded somewhere due to the inclement conditions.
Learn where local emergency shelters are in case your house experiences a power loss and you need to get to where there's heat to stay warm. Examples of emergency shelters often include senior centers, schools, and churches.
The best way to deal with the arrival of the brutally cold temperatures and snow storms expected to come with the polar vortex is to be prepared as much as possible, and also make sure that your space heaters are functioning correctly, if you own any. Avoid the worst of the polar vortex and winter storms by staying inside whenever you can.

For those thinking this counters global climate change claims, note that this is 'normal' winter weather for most of North America. 'Normal' weather not seen for decades. The entire rest of the world has largely been warmer than ever in history.
Please note that 'climate' is 'expected weather based upon historic patterns' and as such, cannot be determined to be 'changing' except in past analysis. People have, for at least 5,000 years, affected weather patterns (climate) over large areas. We deforested North Africa, Iraq, Lebanon, Greece, Italy, Spain, and much of Europe which modified climate over half the planet. We are doing the same to Africa, S.America, Asia and Oceania with similar effects
If you think 'cold' means 'uncomfortable' remember that this degree of cold can and will kill the unprepared in hours if not minutes. In this weather, being locked out in your jammies may be a death sentence.
Should hit -28 here this evening with -60 windchill.

Since my gelding is pretty spooky around bags/tarps I am going to be working on "desensitizing" him to them. We do have some Clinton Anderson tapes on VHS (yes, I know, VHS) but they are all about lunging, and don't have -too- much about desensitizing. I wanted to know how you guys desensitize, and what do you desensitize to?
Today I worked with him for maybe 45 minutes, it started to drizzle and I hate rain so we called it a day. But I did have some sort of batton-looking crop thing that I tied a Wal Mart bag to, and moved it around him so it made that dreadful crinkle swoosh noise. Skips thought it was going to eat him at first, and did a mini crow hop before trotting off (he did have a rope halter/lunge line on) I kept doing that until he stopped side-stepping and stood quietly. We eventually progressed to me being able to rub the bag on his body, and eventually his face while he stood still. He did make snorting noises majority of the time though. But he did lick his lips a few times, and lowered his head a little. We finished up by spinning the end of the lunge line so it hit the ground making that crack noise, and he was fine with me tossing it over his back and around his legs but we have worked with that before.
I was wondering if I'm off to the right start, and if you would do anything differently. What else could I use to desensitize him to?
Of topic, but he was the horse I posted about earlier, who tripped a lot. He has gotten a lot better since we have been walking over ground poles. I think he just wasn't paying attention to where he put his feet.

Disadvantage to footers?
I'm planning out my oven, and looking at the plans I was wondering if there was any argument against digging to frost depth (here, 24") and pouring reinforced footers and blocking up? My thinking is that the footers could be just in the shape of the walls (with the required pour beyond the block faces) as opposed to a full slab.
Once I'm out of grade, I'll backfill with clean 3/4" stone, put expansion material against the block, and pour my patio. This is how I've built outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, so I'm having a hard time seeing why I shouldn't do it here. I have a laser transit and experience doing masonry, so I can get the footer level. That doesn't worry me.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
No disadvantage whatsoever....
Here the frost line is 32" but I opted for a 8" pad over gravel and vapor barrier.
You'll be fine with what you plan.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
Thanks! I was reading through the other threads about footers and there seemed to be such a sentiment against a frost footer that I was worried I was missing something.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
A lot of people use the space under the oven for wood storage, so its helpful if it is dry. Pouring a slab on grade is a twofer: you get a floor plus structural support. Also, it can be a lot harder to dig down 4', unless you have access to a backhoe.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
The nice thing about living in Virginia vs Canada is that our local frost depth (per code) is 18", but I do specify 24" on all my projects (I'm a landscape designer). I'm also having a patio poured so I'll probably have him carry the pour inside the wood box to create a floor, again with expansion material so it moves independently from the oven.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
Yes, but for a structural slab, you have no reason to go below the frost line if the topsoil is removed and the substrate is well compacted.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
Agreed. At the same time, it's twenty bucks worth of block difference and peace of mind is priceless - I'm a huge worrier. Thanks for all the help and I'll be sure to post pics of the project!
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
What you have to watch for is differential settlement. If the ground underneath is consistent you will be OK. If it is unknown, for example part uncompacted fill from the original house construction, you may be better off with a slab on grade.
A well reinforced slab on grade will perform quite well in dealing with frost heaving.
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
The house was constructed in 1906, and based on the photos from 1918 I don't think the grade has been modified in this area at all in the last hundred years. I even have a decent idea of what the soils look like as I dig down, since we discovered after moving in that the terracotta sewer pipe needed completely replaced, from the vent to the street connection. Rather than pay a plumber $100/hr to dig a hole, I did it. It was educational AND character building, I highly recommend it to everyone.
Good call on the settlement though. One more reason I'm glad we don't have a brand spankin' new home!
Re: Disadvantage to footers?
When I was a kid, my best friends lived in a huge new house. My father, who had built his own house (as have I and my brothers) used to remark that their house was 'built on fill'.
One day, their house pretty much split in half (one side dropped about 4") while I was in it.

DDR Prime Testimonials:
I have noticed an increase energy & am feeling a lot better. It feels like my LLV has been amplified. I can only take 2 of each LLV pill a day, my body just does not like it. So the DDR Prime is a huge benefit for me. -Louise
I started taking DDR Prime (capsules) as soon as I got home from Convention. I didn't really know what to expect, I just wanted to see what would happen. After about 1 week, I noticed that the thick and scaly skin on my elbows was much, much better than it had been in a long time. I have arthritis, and the thick scaly skin is psoriasis that has just started over the past year (they are related conditions). I can't wait to see what happens after 3 months of taking it! -C
My 12 year old son has been taking it once a day internally and putting a little on a large mole on his back. It is shrinking! -Kristy
I have a form of Mitochondrial Disease called Mitochondrial myopathy. I have been taking these and the LLV everyday since and I feel great. My muscles are recovering sooner and I have more stamina. -Stacey
My kids had the flu and I gave them 3 capsules of DDR per day. They are 11 and 13 with no problems. The flu was bad in our area. They recovered in 2 days with minimal symptoms. Take DDR prime as a preventative too. -Jen

Mummy's The Word is the first part of the third episode of the first season of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show.
While driving through an Egyptian desert, the guys are caught up in a sandstorm, and when they uncover themselves, they spot a pyramid and it's spooky inhabitant, a ancient mummy.
Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy are driving through the Egyptian Desert. They are so hot that they see a mirage of a refreshment stand. After getting buried in a sand storm, they soon discover a pyramid. Shaggy is worried because that's "a real dead place", where the ancient pharaohs were buried, but Scrappy runs in ahead. Inside, Scooby and Shaggy are horrified by a living pharaoh's head that turns out to be Scrappy wearing the mask.
They do however, encounter a moving mummy who comes after them. Scrappy wants to attack, but Scooby grabs him. They hide in ancient paintings, and then try to escape on a boat in an indoor lake, but what looks like stepping stones are actually hungry crocodiles. Shaggy and Scooby narrowly escape their jaws, which Scrappy is able to simply snap shut.
The mummy appears again, and Scrappy simply unwinds him. But upon leaving the pyramid, the mummy's spirit follows them outside, leaving footprints in the sand. The gang see this as they still hear his moans, and run to the Mystery Machine, driving off into the desert.

Hammer to Fall
Final week for Mustang Regression Challenge
The Mustang Regression Challenge closes at the end of the week (March 31) and with it, your chance to score a free t-shirt and (if you submit one of the five best) an Ultra 20 workstation.
The commitment to picking off regression bugs was recently noted in a Javalobby thread, which was then cited by David Herron in his blog
Re: "Sun appears commited to fixing any/all regressions prior to release":
There was an interesting discussion thread on javalobby last week: Poll: Delay Mustang in favor of more fixes? ... I think the discussion added a lot of value to the discussion around Java and especially the in-progress Mustang release.
I wanted to focus on one statement that really stands out to me as the project leader for the Mustang Regression contest: "Sun appears commited to fixing any/all regressions prior to release". That's exactly the idea we wanted to reinforce with the public.
The promise we're making with the contest is not new. For as long as I have been with the Java team (since the tail end of 1.2.2) we have treated regressions with high priority. The contest comes out of this policy. It is not a new policy we're following, we have for a very long time held regressions in high priority, and would hold shipping a release to fix all known regressions.
Also in today's Weblogs, Ethan Nicholas achieves some GUI slickness as he shows how to
Style Swing components using CSS:
"Using the JAXX user interface framework, you can leverage the power of CSS to control the appearance of Swing components. This is a quick look at using CSS to make a calculator example more attractive."
Continuing a series, in Comparing webapp frameworks : WebWork, Simon Brown writes:
"Like Struts, WebWork is a framework that is fairly established within the J2EE webapp space although it's interesting that I've only ever come across two types of WebWork users - those that have never heard of it and those that love it."
In Projects and
the Sun Grid Developer Community project Compute Server "aims to enable Java developers to easily and efficiently use the Sun Grid Compute Utility as a platform for the distributed execution of parallel computations." Its early access release lets you try out your code locally, after which you can join the Sun Grid Pilot Project and get 100 hours of CPU time.
The Proposed Final Draft of JSR 231: Java Bindings for OpenGL are available. The spec describes Java bindings to all core GL calls as well as the GLU library, as well as platform-specific wgl/glx/agl libraries, abstracted out in a platform-independent way to permit framebuffer operations. An implementation is available from the JOGL project.
In today's Forums,
leouser sends a
Question to JTree users:
"Hi folks, I'm just posting this to see if there are any JTree users out there that experience the same behavior I see. I have a java app that uses the JTree as an outliner. Now I've seen this odd visual 'distortion' happen when a certain operation occurs. Im trying to determine if this distortion is something in the app or something wrong with the JTree."
ludo points out a NetBeans-specific problem in
Re: Persistence in glassfish 9.0-b41:
"In latest build of GlassFish, the 'derby' directory that contains the derby db has been renamed 'javadb'. Old versions of NetBeans 5.5 builds would not know about this new name, so I suggest you use the latest daily nightly build of NetBeans 5.5, that can now understand this change."
"With the release of the Java Standard Edition 6.0 Beta, Java developers no longer need to contend with clamp-on solutions or Java Native Interface (JNI) to make their applications interact with desktop products and features. These desktop-integration features now are part of the core." In Take Charge of Desktop Integration with Java SE 6, Gautam Shah looks at how to use Mustang to provide expected features like a splash screen and to access the Windows System Tray.
Developer box, integration box, production box. They'll all need the same
Spring configuration files, but with profoundly different values for most,
if not all, of the items to be configured. Merely annoying for
hand-editing name-value pairs, this becomes a real problem if you choose
to vary your bean wiring between deployments. In Advanced Configuration
of the Spring MVC Framework, Dejan Bosanac shows how to synchronize bean
properties and wirings to get yourself out of this mess.

Originally written on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 8/12/13
The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to terms with Kelly Shoppach on a minor league deal, and have assigned him to Indianapolis. Shoppach has spent time this year with Seattle and Washington, before being released on July 31st by the Nationals. He hit for a .196/.293/.346 line in 107 at-bats with Seattle in the majors, which is well below the .782-.865 OPS at the height of his career, or even his career .726 OPS. The Pirates have needed catching depth with Michael McKenry out for the season. They will obviously keep Tony Sanchez as the backup, but Shoppach will be number three on the depth chart, and most likely will receive a September call-up. He has always been connected to the Pirates due to his days in Cleveland, and the rumors that the Pirates tried to acquire him as part of a Jason Bay trade in the 2007-08 off-season. He doesn't have the offense he did back then, but he should be a good option as a third catcher for the rest of the season.

PR Newswire/euro adhoc/ EANS-Adhoc: Salzgitter AG / The Salzgitter Group adjusts its annual forecast in line with the provisional 9-months figures ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. 05.11.2012 According to the key data now available for the interim accounts for the first nine months of the financial year 2012, the Salzgitter Group will record negative earnings before tax (EBT) of around EUR -25 million in the third quarter (Q3 2011: EBT EUR +39.2 million). This development is mainly attributable to unsatisfactory results in the Steel Division. The results achieved by the other divisions are in line with expectations. The Group will therefore close the 9-months period of 2012 with a pre-tax loss of around EUR -43 million (9 months 2011: EBT EUR +169.1 million). Consolidated external sales climbed by 9 % to EUR 8.0 billion in the reporting period (9 months 2011: EUR 7.3 billion). Along with the ailing European steel market impacted by the general economic climate, the business activities of German steel processors and traders have also recently lost momentum. As, therefore, a seasonal recovery of the steel market has failed to materialize in the second half of the year, it has so far not been possible to implement the price increases urgently required in the face of the persistently high raw materials and energy costs. Given these framework conditions, we see the need to adjust the forecast for the year as a whole and now anticipate a pre-tax result around breakeven. More detailed information can be found in the press release and the Interim Report on the first nine months of the current financial year, both of which will be released on November 14, 2012. Disclaimer: Some of the statements made in this report possess the character of forecasts or may be interpreted as such. They are made upon the best of information and belief and by their nature are subject to the proviso that no unforeseeable deterioration occurs in the economy or in the specific market situation pertaining to the division companies, but rather that the underlying bases of plans and outlooks prove to be accurate as expected in terms of their scope and timing.

Green Lake - A body found at the scene of house fire last week is believed to be that of 66-year-old Maureen A. Martin, the homeowner and longtime legal counsel at the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank.
The fire at Martin's rural home on Judy Lane was reported about 4 a.m. Tuesday. An autopsy by the Fond du Lac County medical examiner showed the cause of death was fire and heat related, the Green Lake Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
The fire remains under investigation.
The Heartland Institute mourned her loss on its website. It described her as a longtime senior fellow and legal counsel with the group, and the editor of the Lawsuit Abuse Fortnightly newsletter aimed at documenting cases of "lawyers and plaintiffs abusing the legal system for personal gain."
Martin wrote legal briefs on subjects ranging from the right of nonprofit groups to keep the identity of donors confidential, the Second Amendment and environmental regulations.
She also wrote two policy briefs on Wisconsin's Act 10 legislation on collective bargaining. She had joined the Heartland Institute in 2000.
"Though considerably less than 5 feet tall, she commanded the attention of others by her quick wit and her always insightful observations," institute president Joseph Bast said in a statement. "She was a loyal friend, a great listener, and always the optimist in the room. We have lost a true friend, and freedom has lost one of its finest defenders."

USB Promos
The New AOL Floppy
Some clever marketing people have started issuing USB drives loaded with their promotional information in lieu of the usual pamphlets and swag.
Some of you might remember "floppy disks." When I started using them, they held an "amazing" 92KB of data, eventually working their way to relatively large capacities. However, the disk most people remember is the 3.5-inch floppy that held 1.44MB. Conversely, floppies used to cost a couple of dollars each when they first came out, but over time, they decreased in price as manufacturing and competition drove prices down.

The 2008 Tablas Creek Vineyard Syrah is Tablas Creek's seventh bottling of this classic Rhone varietal. The wine displays the character of the Syrah grape exuberantly and elegantly, with classic flavors of bacon fat, wood smoke, blackberry and mineral, and should reward time in bottle to mature.
We use most of our Syrah as a part of our Esprit de Beaucastel and Côtes de Tablas blends each year. However, we believe that Paso Robles is one of the world's great environments for Syrah, and in favorable vintages we try to reserve some particularly classic barrels of Syrah for a single-varietal bottling.
The 2008 vintage was our second consecutive drought vintage, with low yields, cool-climate characteristics, and a persistent elegance across both whites and reds. A late spring and moderate summer combined with beautiful harvest weather to produce gradual ripening and red wines that were unusually fresh and approachable despite appealing lushness. Syrah began the harvest of our reds on September 9th and harvest continued over the next month. Our last Syrah lot was harvested October 7th.
The grapes for our 2008 Syrah grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The Syrah grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in small open-top stainless steel tanks. After two weeks, they were pressed, and moved to a balance of new and old French oak barrels to complete their fermentation. The wine was assembled in August of 2009 and aged for nearly another year in a 1200-gallon foudre before being bottled in May 2010.
The 2008 Syrah is translucent blue-black in color, with a nose of sweet oak, black fruit and mint. The flavors are consistent with the nose, with surprising acidity that should give the wine a long, graceful evolution. Think tart blackberries, with an appealing brambly component. The finish turns creamier, the hint of oak returning. Hold for 6 months or more, and then drink for another fifteen.

Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

IIRC now, it's a socket head cap screw (SHCS aka allan bolt) that holds an internal component, (...shift fork adjustment bar?)... now I need to go look
(and I hope to know what I'm doing with transmissions one of these days :headslap )
Yep, I jumped the gun on that. It's the two allen-head bolts on the 4-speed /5 and earlier trannys that have to not be touched-- they are on eccentrics and control the shift fork engagement.
However, it got me to thinking-- for a while I've had a wee bit of oil weepage on the back of my tranny. Not much, just enough to keep it oily. I replaced the rubber seal on the clutch release piston but it still seeps. I wonder if it could be that bolt that holds the springy-retainer down? May need snugging or a bit of thread sealant...

Florida State Senior
40: 4.60
Has good speed and range in pursuit. Comfortable playing in space and does a nice job attacking upfield off the edge. Shows some ability as a blitzer off the corner. Will break down and wrap up in the open field to make stops, and has good closing burst to deliver hit to ballcarrier. Has decent hips and burst to think he can match up in man coverage.
Struggles to get off blocks at times in space when working against receivers in the slot. Needs to take better angles in space. Needs to play with better awareness in coverage, not showing great ball skills there.
Alexander is a good fit for a SAM linebacker in a 4-3 scheme that likes its guys to play in space. A Tampa-2 scheme would probably be an ideal fit. He's not really a playmaker, but shows the skills and tools to get the job done and can potentially develop as a complementary starter. Alexander came to Florida State as a 185-pound safety and missed most of the first two years on campus with a knee injury. He contributed as a role player as a junior with 17 tackles, 6 for loss, and 5 sacks. Earned starting job as a senior, finishing with 56 tackles, 5.5 for loss, and 1.5 sacks. PLayed at around 230 pounds during his senior year, and has smartly bulked up and not lost his speed.
When Tony Dungy and Monte Kiffin were in Tampa Bay, their linebackers were often Derrick Brooks and a good MLB (like Shelton Quarles, Hardy Nickerson, Barrett Ruud), and then a throw-away starter at the SAM spot. They had 8 different starters at that spot during the 13 years that Monte Kiffin was their defensive coordinator. This is basically the ideal role that Alexander can fill. He has the speed and range that you like him in space. He needs to become more polished in coverage, but flashes the hips and burst to be effective both in zone and man coverage. At the least, Alexander should be able to fill a reserve role at the next level and down the road in the right scheme that likes its LBs to be fast and rangy, he can make a solid stopgap starter. He'll never be a big-time playmaker, but the type of guy that you are comfortable with in the starting lineup if you have two solid guys at the other spots. He's not going to come in right away and make an impact, but give him three or so years of working in a system and playing on special teams, he should develop into a decent stopgap starter and journeyman that can add depth in the 4-3 scheme.
Alexander is good depth in Atlanta because of his potential to contribute in coverage. With a few years under his belt, he should pass Wire as the team's nickel linebacker. He can be developed as a SAM linebacker and starter for the Falcons in the future. It's going to take him some time to develop there, probably two or three years. But his ability to play in coverage and be fast and rangy in space, makes him a nice fit on the outside. But he'll have to learn how to be more physical and aggressive against the run to stick there. He's basically a nice stopgap that by his third or fourth year, should be pushing for the starting job if not already having it. Whether he is kept beyond his rookie contract will depend on how well he plays. But he's good enough to be re-signed and kept as a stopgap for a few more years until a better player is found.
Alexander is a nice late round pick that a Tampa-2 team could nab in the fifth or sixth round, and your typical 4-3 team probably could wait until the seventh.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Speed: 4.0
Tackling: 3.0
Coverage: 3.0
Point of Attack: 2.0
Instincts: 2.5
Pass Rush: 2.5

Hal McCoy was on with Marty during the 2nd inning and he said that he has further checked the Rolen rumor and the Reds, in fact, have scouts in Tampa watching Rolen. Said the Toronto paper is also reporting the same.

Hal McCoy is a joke.
I'd be pretty happy if we got Rolen. I think he'd be a nice addition to this offense. Someone who can get runners in with less than 2 outs on 3rd would be an improvement. Not to mention he's hitting .330 and his defense is stellar.
This would be a perfect fit. Rolen would come to cincinnati and would be close to his hometown in indiana but, who do you throw at the bluejays? I would't give them our top 3...
heisey,stubbs or frazier. I would give them henry.
You don't need to drag Favre into this!
Hopefully this deal includes EE and maybe only one prospect.
Im not too fond of a platoon deal with rolen and EE. Plus losing a lot of prospects.
I actually think this deal goes down. I don't know why but, I really do. I feel like rolen wants to be close to home and that He will get that wish by reuniting with WJ.
Could you imagine what his numbers would be at GABP.
I don't know, EE has looked pretty good since returning. I guess what it comes down to with me is defense. Anyone know if Rolen is still gg caliber on D? If so then I would make the deal, as even if this year doesn't work out you would have Phillips as GG at 2nd, and Rolen as GG caliber at 3rd, along with Votto being good a 1st. This offseason then you wouldn't have to have a great defensive shortstop. You could get someone with a good stick who maybe doesn't cover tons of ground.
espnradio was talking about the rolen situation about 30 minutes ago and said that some beat writer hal McCoy was wrong and that Toronto and The reds are discussing a deal for rolen but, it doesnt involve edwin.
A deal for Rolen that doesn't involve EE? Money would have to come the Reds way for any prospects of any merit...if this goes down with EE still with the Reds...what do they do with him? Must be a 2nd trade in the works....
