Remy-Cointreau : results on Tuesday morning
20 décembre 2000
The first half-year profits for Remy-Cointreau published last week fell as a result of the sharp drop in sales of champagne (-30 %) but current net profits have more than doubled, rising from 15 million euros last year to 38 million this year. Cognac is progressing. The share price has risen by 64 % since the start of the year to a level last seen in 1994.
Wine growing in Cognac : contact re-established with Brussels
20 décembre 2000
Following a meeting in Brussels between professionals (president of the BNIC and the Charente Chamber of Agriculture) and the European commissioner for Agriculture Franz Fischler care of JP Raffarin, it appears that the Cognac region no longer receives European diversification grants because France has not respected European directives on this matter. But Brussels is ready to reopen dialog and to reinstate the region of Cognac on the list of regions to be helped on condition that previous non-observation of Brussels rules be put right (repaying one billion francs of aid...).
Seagram : offers
13 décembre 2000
Offers for the takeover of the Seagram alcohol branch were due to be made on Tuesday. Baccardi has joined forces with Vin & Spirit to oppose Diageo-Pernod-Ricard. The decision should be taken before the end of the month. Martell, whose sales have fallen by 8 % per year in the last three years, will, unfortunately, not be the most sought-after brand.
Grégoire expands
13 décembre 2000
The Grégoire company in cognac, the world leader in grape picking machines is to take on 40 permanent staff and create 10 new jobs in the spring, increasing from 120 to 170 permanent employees. This recruitment is linked to the 35 hours but also to the strong growth of the company which sold 435 machines last year compared to 417 the year before, which was already a record. For example, Grégoire has a 30 % market share in the US and is interested in the Eastern European market. Il has also benefited from the world marketing clout of the Norwegian group Kverland which acquired the company last March.
Unicoop asks for an extension

|Indexes of contrast and quantitative significance for comparisons of two groups.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10495454 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Although boundaries for 'large' and 'small' differences are needed to plan research and interpret results, the diverse indexes of descriptive contrast for the central indexes, A and B, of two groups, have not received intensive attention. For two means, the increment of mid R:A-Bmid R: reflects the slope of a line showing the 'effect', but is altered by different units of measurement. Division of mid R:A-Bmid R: by the common standard deviation produces the standardized increment (SI), which is sometimes called the 'effect size'. Despite many advant ages, it does not contrast the relative magnitudes of A and B. For the latter contrast, the relative change or proportionate increment (mid R:A-Bmid R:/B) is particularly easy to understand, and the relative translocation (mid R:A-Bmid R:/[A+B]) produces a bounded range from -1 to +1. Nevertheless, all indexes of relative magnitude ablate the scales of measurement, thereby increasing difficulty in interpretation. Although seldom applied, proportionate reduction in overall system variance can be highly useful. Its square root leads to eta, the analogue of a correlation coefficient, which corresponds to a standardized slope for the direct increment. The values of eta usually approximate (SI)/2. Although arbitrary levels have been proposed for 'quantitative significance' of the SI, the proportionate reduction in overall system variance is often regarded as ineffectual unless >/=10 per cent. With this belief, minimum boundaries for quantitative significance can often be set at eta>/=0.3 and SI>/=0.6. In indexes of relative magnitude for two proportions (or rates), p(A) and p(B), confusion is produced if q(A) and q(B) are alternatively chosen for the denominators. The odds ratio, (p(A) q(B)/p(B) q(A)), avoids these choices, but is often difficult to interpret. For easy understanding and communication, the preferred index is NNE, the number needed to produce one excess effect, calculated as the inverse of the direct increment, that is, 1/mid R:p(A)-p(B)mid R: The standardized increment, mid R:p(A)-p(B)mid R:/ radical(PQ), (where P is the average of p(A) and p(B) and Q=1-P) could offer a single index applicable to both dimensional and binary data, but when P becomes quite small, that is, <0.01, radical(PQ) requires special calculations and also approaches the value of radicalP. Boundaries of 'quantitative significance' are particularly difficult to establish for comparisons of two rates, because of additional consequences in populational extrapolations and clinical implications. Nevertheless, the principles of quantitative significance can aid the ad hoc construction of boundaries that must be set for medical importance when sample sizes are calculated and when results are interpreted for studies of either efficacy or equivalence.

38. The Flight Thieves
You'd think I would know better. After all, I'm no greenhorn, fresh from some Deepwoods thicket. I was brought up in the hovels of Hive, where I needed eyes in the back of my head, and later in the Hive Militia, I fought alongside some of the roughest cut-throats and brigands you could wish to meet. Which makes it all the more painful to confess what happened to me on board the sky tavern, Varis Lodd.
I suppose it's what comes of spending so long in a peaceful backwater like the Farrow Lake. Life there is tough, but we settlers look out for one another, and cheats and scoundrels are soon unmasked. It's why I love it there. And it's why I'm heading for Great Glade now, seeking military help against the mire-prealers, so our idyllic haven might be preserved.
But the years spent among good honest folk meant that I dropped my guard, and now the whole venture might fail. If it does, how can I face the Roost Marshal, or Alcestia, or Forden, or any of the others who put their trust in me again?
I'm fairly moderate by nature. I like a tot of woodgrog, but I hold it well, and I'm not a brawler… My one weakness is gambling. And in particular, carrillon.
Carillon's a bit like splinters. You collect pairs or runs of numbered chips. The difference is that betted money is placed on one side of a set of scales against a stakeweight. When the coins outbalance the weight, the scales tip and a bell rings. Then the game stops and the players have to show their hands. It's a game of skill and judgement, and the excitement that builds up as the stake increases, getting closer and closer to tipping point. I love this game, and lost many a week's wages in the gambling dens of Hive in the old days…
Anyway, for the first three days of our trip, I kept away from the gambling tavern. Then, to my shame, on the fourth day, when we were within spitting distance of Great Glade, the temptation proved too much. While Luggins and Threnodesse went for their evening meal, I snuck off to the tavern in the depths of the mighty skyship.
From the moment I took my seat at the carrillon table, everything went my way. I'd never had such luck. I doubled my initial stake, then doubled it again. By the time I left, I had more than ten times the amount I'd started out with. My new found wealth made me walk tall. It also made me a target for the flight thieves.
Every sky tavern has them. Ruffians and cut-throats they are, who sneak aboard, and rob and fleece hapless gamblers who win big at the tables and attract their attention. And I must admit, heady with my success, I let down my guard.
Walking along the lower deck back to our small cabin, I paused to take in the moonlit view. We'd passed over Hive the previous day, and I knew we must be close to the Midwood Marshes. My head was spinning with memories of the battle I had fought in, down there so long ago, when all at once there was an arm round my neck, a blade at my throat, and a gruff voice growling in my ear.
'Hand it over. All of it. And don't try nuffin' stupid.' I felt the rail press into my back. 'One false move and there could be a nasty accident. Understand?'
Oh, I understood all right. This brigand was about to cut my throat, and if that happened, the delegation to the Great Glade council would fail. That's why, despite the flathead's warning, I did try something…
I elbowed him hard in the gut, twisting my head away from the blade of the knife as I did so. I spun round and, raising one bunched fist protectively, punched him hard in the face with the other. It was then that I saw he was not alone. He had two accomplices – grubby-looking flathead goblins in shabby rain cloaks and battered hats.
The one I'd punched rubbed his cheek and grinned toothlessly. The next moment, all three attacked. Two seized my arms and twisted them behind my back, then the first one thumped me once, twice, three times in the stomach. I'd have collapsed if I wasn't being held up. Then they grabbed me, hoiked me upside down and began shaking me hard. My winnings jangled down onto the deck, dozens of gold coins. When the jangling stopped, I waited to be dropped. Instead, they hefted me towards the balustrade.
My heart hammered. They'd got my money. Now they aimed to pitch me overboard, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I'd failed. The mission had failed…
All at once, there was a colossal lurch and I was hurtling across the deck. I hit the boards hard, and looked up to see the massive brogtroll, Luggins, with his meaty hands gripped round the necks of two of my attackers. With a loud grunt, he slammed their heads together. There was a crack and a crunch, and they collapsed in a heap. At the same moment, Threnodesse stepped from the shadows. Her heavy staff came down hard on the third flathead's skull, and he collapsed on top of the others.
'I… I…' I blustered, climbing to my feet. 'It…'
You don't need to explain, Hedgethorn, came Threnodesse's calm voice inside my head. We're here to see that you reach Great Glade safely.
'Let's get rid of these bodies,' Luggins grunted, and proceeded to drag two of the unconscious goblins along the deck by their collars. And while the waif collected up my winnings, I dragged the third one after him. We came to the row of viewing-baskets and Luggins chucked the flatheads unceremoniously inside. Then, seizing the rope, he winched the basket down towards the forest below. When the rope came to an end, he drew his knife and cut it, and I heard the basket drop down into the trees. 'They're gonna wake up with mighty sore heads!' Luggins said, and chuckled.
I nodded gravely. Thanks to him and Threnodesse, our mission was still on track. What I didn't know then, was that Quove Lentis – the shiftless High Professor of Flight – would pose a far greater threat to our success than any sky tavern thief, and I would need to take the biggest gamble of my life…

Area track athletes ready to vie for state titles
Oaks Christian School, which won its first CIF-Southern Section girls track and field team championship two weeks ago, hopes to continue making school history at the state championships this weekend.
Qualifying for the CIF Track and Field State Championships is Friday with finals on Saturday at Buchanan High in Clovis. Field events start at 3 p.m. Friday and 4:30 p.m. Saturday; running events start at 5 and 6 respectively.
After two runner-up finishes, the Lions dominated the Division 4 competition in the sectional meet, winning 123-82 over Inglewood-St. Mary's Academy. They'll take six athletes to Clovis and compete in five events, hoping to bring home the school's first girls individual state title.
Schuyler Moore will compete in the 200 meters, Sarah Johnson will run in the 400 and Cassidy Palka will compete in the high jump. Also, the 4x100 relay team of Moore, Johnson, Asha Culhane and Miah Webb will run, as will the 4x400 relay squad of Moore, Johnson, Webb and Julia Sullivan.
"It's always a blessing to be a part of it," coach Wes Smith said. "We have a pretty well-prepared team that's going. We're hoping to make the finals in all five events. The two events that stand out the most will be Sarah Johnson's 400 and the girls 4x400. Long Beach Poly is obviously well-manned (in the relay), but we're hoping maybe to get as high as second place."
The 4x400 team took third in the CIF-SS meet, finishing in 3 minutes, 46.87 seconds. At the Masters Meet last week, Oaks Christian's 3:47.97 was 6.66 seconds behind Poly.
Johnson was the winner in the CIF-SS 400 at 54.60 seconds, putting her at No. 4 all time in area history. Moore captured the Division 4 title in the 200 at 24.08 seconds. Palka won the high jump at 5 feet, 5 inches.
"We have a lot of freshmen on our team," Johnson said, "and it was just really easy to get along with everybody. They all have great personalities, they're all really cool. We have a transfer, Miah Webb, a really nice girl. She just blended well with the team. We're like a family, a big family."
Smith said the hard work of Johnson and Moore, both juniors, has trickled down to other members of the team as well.
"Sarah and Schuyler have had a huge part in bonding that group together," Smith said. "They really, really like each other. ... They've taken what I think was already a good program and taken it to a completely different level."
Likely to be the other big story of the state meet is the boys pole vault, where Jake David of Ventura figures to engage in a jump-for-jump battle with Thousand Oaks' Luigi Colella, the defending state champion.
At the section meet, Colella became the first Ventura County athlete to break the 17-foot barrier, winning the Division 2 pole vault at 17-0¾. Less than an hour later, David topped that, winning the Division 1 competition at 17-1.
Other area boys who have qualified for the state meet include Greg Vann of Rio Mesa, who set a Division 2 record in winning the long jump in 24-6, Ahmed Obed of Camarillo, who set a Ventura County record in taking second in the Division 1 200 (21.07), and Alex Billing of Simi Valley, the section Division 2 winner in the 110 hurdles (14.18). Idrees Bernard of Agoura will compete in the triple jump after tying for the Division 2 championship (48-4¾).
Ryan Finch of Westlake was second in the Division 2 400 and his time of 47.92 was fifth best in county history. Also, Justin Warren of Camarillo will be in the long jump, Bryce Fausset of Ventura is in the high jump and the Westlake team of Finch, Sean O'Bryan, Michael Purdy and Jonathan Cantle will run in the 4x400 relay.
Kendall Mader of Newbury Park, champion in the CIF-SS Division 1 discus (145-7) and runner-up in the shot put, will be looking for top-five finishes in each event at Clovis. Tara Davis of Agoura, runner-up in the Division 2 long jump and triple jump, will be doing the same in those events. Madisen Richards of Simi Valley was third behind Davis in the long jump.
Erinn Beattie of Buena, fourth in CIF-SS Division 1 and first at last week's Masters Meet, is set to compete in the state meet high jump, along with Candace Dominguez-Fields of Ventura.
Caroline Pietrzyk of Malibu will test her ability on the state level after winning the CIF-SS Division 4 3,200 (10:38.81). She'll be joined in that competition by Emily Beneduce of Oak Park. Other area girls at the state meet include Zaria Francis of Camarillo in the 200 and Alexa Coubal of Thousand Oaks in the discus.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: San Angelo gathers to cheer, hear
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Monette Molinar, owner of the Concho Financial Center in San Angelo, said she worries about the government tossing Medicare to an abusing private sector.
Darrell Gill, owner of Ener-Tel Services, a security and automation company, said he worries about tremendous government spending that will force his grandchildren to pay the U.S. debt.
Both of them watched Wednesday's presidential debate with interest in rooms that resounded with cheers and whoops for the candidates.
Molinar was at the Tom Green County Democratic headquarters, while Gill was at his home hosting members of the Tom Green County Republican party.
"Fired up and ready to go!" Democrats chanted at the beginning of the debate. About 20 people gathered at the downtown headquarters.
They didn't have many chances to chant and cheer early on.
The debate seemed to have stalled on economic issues at that point, Molinar said.
After about 25 minutes, "it seems like we're still on the same subject," Molinar said. At that point the presidential candidates had been discussing taxation and small businesses. She wasn't sure how the policies they said they would implement would affect her.
"You really don't know," she said.
Gill said President Barack Obama seemed to stutter and wasn't as impressive a speaker as he has been known to be. At his home, about a dozen people had come together to cheer on their candidate.
"I'm pleased at Romney's performance tonight," Gill said. "Romney has put him on the spot."
Kris Martin, who works as an adult probation officer, said at the Democratic headquarters that the early moments of the debate were getting bogged down.
"You've got kind of a war about definitions," he said.
Tom Green County Chairwoman Linda Shoemaker said she is still confident Obama will win Nov. 6 but that Romney had a strong showing and "did what he needed to do" in being assertive.
Near the final third of the debate, those at Gill's home talked casually amongst themselves without paying much attention to the television. Tom Green County Republican Chairman Jeff Betty said it could be a sign of satisfaction with Romney's performance.
"Gov. Romney has very much demonstrated his knowledge of the economy and taxation and its effect on small business and jobs, whereas the president has not been able to answer for his record and explain the state of the economy," Betty said. "Republicans are seeing the Mitt Romney they hoped they would see."

In the new year my goal is to visit another country. Guess where I want to go? That's right Paris,France! Every since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of visiting there. I don't know what it is about that place but I just imagine it to be so full of culture and fashion!
I took french for 6 years and can't remember a thing but I do plan on brushing up on it. I have soo many readers too from the United Kingdom and Paris that I hope I get to meet some of them. I'm putting it in the atmosphere and praying daily that this year my dream comes true. Wish me luck! xoxo

The Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team defeated the Capital Jaguars 9-0. In the first inning of game one.
It didn't get much better for the Jaguars for the balance of Friday's doubleheader.
Los Alamos pummeled the struggling Capital squad in a District 2-4A twinbill at Overlook Park Friday afternoon. Los Alamos took the first game 16-0 in just 2-1/2 innings, then rolled to a 10-0 win in five innings in game two.
The Hilltoppers, who will be off this week until a key doubleheader against Bernalillo, scored nine times in the first inning and seven times in the second inning to close out game one in the bare minimum time.
In the second game, Los Alamos pushed five runs across in the second and three more in the fifth, pounding out 10 hits and taking advantage of five Capital fielding errors.
In game two, Emilee Jones went the distance to pick up the victory. She allowed just one hit and struck out two. Jordan Hammock gave up one hit in three innings and struck out four to win the first game.
Offensively, lead-off batter Kiana Zerr hit home runs in both games — she also ended Wednesday's win over Española Valley with a homer — and went a combined 5-for-6, scoring five runs and knocking in five more.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/503,718, filed Jul. 15, 2009, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/357,348, filed Feb. 17, 2006, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,641,163, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/728,945, filed Oct. 21, 2005. The contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates generally to mounting systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to adjustable mounting systems for mounting devices such as flat panel televisions and displays on a surface.
In recent years, flat-panel television units have become enormously popular in both the commercial and the residential sectors. As the prices for plasma and liquid crystal display (LCD) flat panel displays have continued to fall, and as the quality for the same devices have improved, more and more businesses and individuals have purchased such devices both for business and home entertainment purposes.
One of the advantages of flat-panel television units that customers have found particularly appealing is their relatively low thickness. Because conventional "tube" televisions have a relatively large depth, the display options for such devices are quite limited. In the residential setting, most users require a television stand or large entertainment center to store the television. Such stands or entertainment centers can take up significant floor space, which is often undesirable. In the commercial or educational setting, users will often install large overhead mounting systems that can contain the television. However, these systems usually require professional installation and, once the television is secured in the mount, it is often very difficult to access and adjust due to its height.
With flat-panel televisions, on the other hand, users are presented with a relatively new option: mounting the television directly to a wall or similar surface. By mounting the television to a wall, a person can eliminate the need to take up potentially valuable floor space with a television stand or entertainment unit. Furthermore, individuals and entities can mount the television at a sufficiently low height to be able to adjust the television's orientation with little difficulty.
Although the introduction of flat-panel televisions on a wide scale has presented new opportunities to both residential and commercial customers, it has also presented new challenges. Over the past few years, a number of wall mounting systems have been developed for use with flat panel televisions, but each has their own drawbacks. The products described in these disclosures rely upon the use of a set of curved slots to form a rotatable connection between a mounting bracket and a support bracket. Although moderately useful, a rolling connection among the slots is required for the smooth tilting movement of the mounting bracket relative to the support bracket. Unfortunately, the curved slots themselves can cause the mounting systems' rolling pins to slip during the tilting process, which can lead to the mounting bracket, and therefore the attached television or display, to move in an abrupt, non-smooth fashion relative to the support bracket. Such movements can make it difficult for one to precisely position the television or display in the desired position. Additionally, gravity can, on occasion, cause the rolling pins to fall within the slots, which can cause the system to bind. In such a situation, it becomes more difficult to adjust the orientation of the flat panel display. Furthermore, with some newer plasma and LCD televisions being more sensitive and delicate than conventional tube televisions, such sudden slippage could also damage the devices.
U.S. Application Publication No. 2004/0245420 discloses a mounting system where a plurality of arc-shaped glides are used in place of the rolling pins. However, such glides may be more expensive to manufacture than rolling pins, are more difficult to assemble into the curved slots than the rolling pins, and are prone to suffering wear to the frictional sliding of the glides against the sides of the slots.
It therefore would be desirable to develop an improved rotatable connection for tilt mounting systems that addresses the above-identified shortcomings.
The present invention comprises a self-balancing flat panel television or display mounting system. The mounting system is tiltable through the use of a plurality of substantially straight guide paths or surfaces formed with a mounting bracket and an adapter bracket, where carrier mechanisms are used to effectuate a smooth, rolling connection between the mounting bracket and the adapter bracket. In this arrangement, the resultant forces on the carrier mechanisms are oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of the carrier mechanisms' travel, balancing the forces created by the supported load. By using a plurality of sets of guide paths with each support plate/mounting bracket combination, the guide paths create a "scissoring" action which diminishes sliding and promotes the smooth movement of the carrier mechanisms with the guide paths, as well as helping to ensure that the carrier mechanisms do not slip when a user or installer lifts and removes the television from the remainder of the mount.
These and other advantages and features of the invention, together with the organization and manner of operation thereof, will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements have like numerals throughout the several drawings described below.
In the embodiments shown in
As shown in
The mounting bracket guide paths 24 are located on the mounting bracket flanges 13, and the adapter bracket guide paths 26 are located on the adapter bracket flanges 17. In one embodiment of the invention, each mounting bracket flange 13 includes two mounting bracket guide paths 24, and each adapter bracket flange 17 includes two adapter bracket guide paths 26, each of which are configured to align with a respective mounting bracket guide path 24.
Importantly, both the mounting bracket guide paths 24 and the adapter bracket guide paths 26 are substantially straight in nature. In particular, each individual mounting bracket guide path 24 and adapter bracket guide path 26 does not possess any discernable radius of curvature along the longer edges of the guide paths that are closer to where the electronic device is mounted. In a preferred embodiment, the longer inner and outer edges of both the mounting bracket guide paths 24 and the adapter bracket guide paths 26 are substantially straight and possess no discernable radius of curvature. Both the mounting bracket guide paths 24 and the adapter bracket guide paths 26 are sized to accept a carrier 22 therethrough.
The different positions of the mounting system 10 shown in
In the position shown in
During the process of adjusting the tilt of the adapter bracket 14 relative to the mounting bracket 12, the position of the adapter bracket guide paths 26 is adjusted relative to the position of the corresponding mounting bracket guide paths 24. This movement can be described as a "scissors style" movement, with the interaction of the guide paths resembling the interaction of two scissor blades during a cutting process. As a result of this scissors style relative motion, the forces that are exerted on the carriers 22 promotes the rolling of the carriers 22 within the respective guide paths and works to help prevent any sliding action of the carriers 22. As any sliding of the carriers 22 within the guide paths can lead to an uneven and/or unbalanced movement of the adapter bracket 14 and electronic device relative to the mounting bracket 12, the use of straight guide paths, and therefore the resultant scissors style movement, aids in permitting a smooth and consistent adjustment process. This makes it easier for the user to place the electronic device at a desired orientation. Additionally, the improved rolling action also prevents slippage and instability when a user attempts to remove the electronic device/adapter bracket 14 combination from the mounting bracket 12 when necessary or desired.
In alternative embodiments of the present invention, it is not necessary for each mounting bracket guide path 24 to have a corresponding adapter bracket guide path 26. For example, it is possible, instead of having adapter bracket guide paths 26 at all, the adapter can include a plurality of holes just large enough to permit the carrier 22 roll therein, with each hole corresponding to a mounting bracket guide path 24. Alternatively, this arrangement can be reversed, where the mounting bracket flanges 13 each possess a hole that corresponds to a respective adapter bracket guide path 26.
The embodiment of the invention shown in
The foregoing description of embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the present invention. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the present invention and its practical application to enable one skilled in the art to utilize the present invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

I made this for Thanksgiving this year, with a repeat for Christmas eve (see below). This is really a great recipe, and it makes a very impressive presentation. Plus it's not too difficult. For some reason, I couldn't find unsalted macadamia nuts this year so I used walnuts. Those worked fine, although the macadamias would probably have been even better. This makes a big, very rich dessert, and we only ate half of it at Thanksgiving (of course, we also had several other desserts), so I froze the rest (very carefully, with parchment between slices and the whole thing wrapped in heavy-duty foil). I'd thought about slicing these again into diagonals to add as xmas cookies but forgot to do so, so I ended up bringing them as individual slices to a friend's house for xmas eve dinner dessert. She passed around vanilla ice cream, which went well with them. I believe everyone enjoyed them. I know I did.flag if inappropriate
I love to cook/bake and the more challengeing the recipe the better I like it. We had 8 guests for a coffee/champagne/dessert Christmas get-together. I made Epicurious's Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Meringue, Land O Lakes Peppermint Candy Squares, Kraft's Marbled Grahams, and Lee Bailey's English Trifle with Chambord, and the most challenging - this recipe. I have never made caramel before. This recipe really made my holiday for that fact alone....the caramel came out perfectly! The press in the pan butter crust was delicious and easy. I left the macadamias very chunky, and that combined with the bittersweet ganache, the gooey caramel and flourishing finish of the piped ganache made an impressive, delectable dessert. I also agree with the poker guys below......"good and chewy, nice and gooey"! Those who had problems with the caramel are not following the directions....go back, re-read and try again.... it's only a little sugar and you'll be pleased when you get it right!flag if inappropriate
The end result was not at all what I was expecting. I followed the directions exactly and, as happened to one of the reviewers below, the caramel came out like rock candy and took way longer than 2-1/2 minutes to get to 240 degrees. In fact I could only get the temperature to move beyond 200 degrees by turning the heat up as high as possible, at which point it still took another 4 minutes or so to get to 240. All of the other components came out beautifully, and it did taste delicious, even though it was more of a brittle than a tart (the chiseled shards didn't look so great at my Christmas Eve dinner). Still, I'd try it again if I knew what went wrong.flag if inappropriate
This is my first review. Please, forgive my english (it´s a learned one!!!) I made this tart last night 4 Christmas Eve and everybody like it. But I must say that I change a few things (just 2, actually). First, since I couldn´t find macadamia nuts here (I don´t think I can find them in any store of the city) I used almonds and hazelnuts and it was really tasty and crunchy!! And second, since I read the reviews yesterday, specially the ones saying that the caramel turned hard, I made the caramel only with 1 cup sugar, substituting the remaining 1/4 cup sugar for the same amount of glucose. When the caramel started to cold, it went spreadable and smooth. In conclusion, I think it ended up just well. Thanxx for the advice of the other reviews.flag if inappropriate
The caramel came out too hard to cut. I used a thermometer and stopped at 240 degrees. It took a lot longer that 2.5 minutes to get there. Maybe a lower finishing temperature for the caramel would work? I live at 2000 foot elevation so I don't think that should make much difference.flag if inappropriate
Follow recipe as written and you can't go wrong. When I mixed the dough it tasted too salty to me, but in the finished tart it was a good balance to the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel.flag if inappropriate
Delicious and easy. Followed the recipe exactly as written. Of the 8 recipes made for a party, this was the only one my 23 year old son asked me to save!flag if inappropriate
Poker Guys all agree: Good and Chewy, Nice and gooey!! We like Pie around here especially Caramel anything. Great Dessertflag if inappropriate
I hardly bake and was intimidated at first by this recipe, but it looked and read so good. I had to buy a tart pan and went to 3 stores to find one. Going step by step, the recipe was very easy to follow. The result were wonderful. Will be making it again to bring as a gift to a Christmas dinner.flag if inappropriate
Extremely easy to make. I suggest chopping the nuts finely in a processor to avoid having a mouthful of very chewy caramel and large chunks of Macadamia nut. If you are not adept at preparing caramel, then practice first before attempting this dessert. Most importantly, have your frozen crust ready to receive the caramel as quickly as possible. I found that the caramel was very intolerant to adjustment after about twenty seconds. Certainly a crowd pleaser!flag if inappropriate

Honoring Mother Earth: Conservancy to celebrate its 50 anniversary with Earth Day Festival
It's a different kind of Mother's Day.
As it celebrates its 50th anniversary in existence, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida will host an Earth Day Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April, 19 at 1495 Smith Preserve Way in Naples, just south of the Naples Zoo.
"We've been doing the Earth Day Festival for at least 20 years," said Nikki Dvorchak, the conservancy's corporate relations manager. "It's an event where everybody in Southwest Florida can come out and see how we support our cause."
Admission to the festival is free for Conservancy members, $10 for those older than 12 and $5 for children 12 and younger.
"That's a discounted rate for the festival — the usual prices are $12.95 and $8.95 — and we're adding so much this year," Dvorchak said, adding that "It'll be a great time to check out our new nature center."
It'll also be a great time to check out everything else the Conservancy has to offer during the festival, Dvorchak said, including decanted-wine and beer tasting, a clambake and fish fry, and ice cream and games for the kids.
"Throughout the day, we'll also have speakers related to the mission of the Conservancy in our new auditorium in Eaton Conservation Hall," Dvorchak said. "They'll speak about what they're working on and books they've recently written, and there will be environmental sing-alongs — just a wide range of fun activities for adults, families and children."
The presentations will be ongoing and hourly, Dvorchak said, and will include a talk by Joanne Fitzgerald, director of the Conservancy's wildlife hospital.
"That's a timely subject, especially considering all of the injured pelicans that have been hooked at the Naples Pier lately," Dvorchak said. "We'll also offer the chance to 'Meet the Vet,' and we'll be offering some programs in Spanish, too, because there will definitely be a lot of Spanish-speaking attendees."
About 2,500 people showed up for last year's Earth Day Festival, Dvorchak said, which was spread over two days. She said that she expects "800 to 1,500" people for this year's one-day event.
"The nice thing is that this year we'll have free parking in our shared lot with the Naples Zoo," she said.
Live music, raffles, face-painting, kayak rentals and electric boat rides will also be featured during the festival, Dvorchak said.
"Pretty much anything you can do at other festivals, we'll have going on here," she said.
Conservancy President and CEO Rob Moher said that there are a slew of other reasons for the general public to attend the Earth Day Festival.
"People can come out and see our $20 million investment in the nature center, which is one of the finest in the Southeastern United States — certainly the greenest," Moher said. "The sustainable courtyard is a brand-new part of our campus, and it will be the first day it's open to the public. There will also be exhibits and talks about how you can apply environmental sustainability to your homes and businesses."
And if all that weren't enough to convince those who might be on the fence about attending, Moher said that festival-goers would also have the chance to name the Conservancy's rescued baby loggerhead turtle.
"Loggerhead turtles are one thing that makes Southwest Florida unique, and it helps put a face on the Conservancy," Moher said. "The festival will have a lot of fabulous programs, and it's all part of a fantastic, rich, fun, interactive day."
Catherine Bergerson, the Conservancy's director of marketing and communications, said that interest in naming the baby loggerhead turtle has been intense.
"We've had more than 1,000 valid entries for the competition to name the turtle, and we've whittled the entrants down to five on our Facebook page," she said. "Festival attendees will vote on the final name during the festival, and the winning name will be announced during the festival."
Bergerson said that the public's fascination with the turtle has been "incredible."
"People have connected with this sea turtle beyond anything we could've imagined," she said.
Attendees will also have the chance to vote on a "trashformation" contest during the festival, Dvorchak said.
"It's where local schoolchildren have taken recycled materials and created sculptures," Dvorchak said, adding that there would be winners in three age groups: kindergarten to second grade; third to fifth grades and sixth to eighth grades.

An entire household massacred. A family feud. A sheriff found dead. Neighbor turned against neighbor. Reports of ghosts, bounty hunters, deathbed confessions, and legacy fortunes.
In 1874, the Saxtown massacre rocked a nation reeling from economic depression and shattered a small German immigrant farming community in Illinois. The murder of the Stelzriede family led investigators through forests and farmland, chasing footprints, bloody tobacco leaves, and the marks of an ax dragged away from the scene.
Nicholas J. C. Pistor's The Ax Murders of Saxtown is a gripping tale of suspense and suspicion that exposes brand new information about the century-old crime and showcases the flaws of the nineteenth-century justice system.

Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2003
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Lively ruby red color with shades of garnet. The classic entry on the nose has depth as well as faintly jammy briary fruit, cherry and morello cherry. Its complex nose is enriched by hues of cedar wood and sweet tobacco. The taste is warm, powerful, tannic and smooth. The wine has a very good structure and excellent persistence.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The estate's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a weighty, full-bodied Brunello packed with ripe red fruit, underbrush, sweet spices, tar and licorice. The wine possesses outstanding balance and generosity. Although the tannins are a little coarse (in keeping with the vintage) there is also enough fruit here to balance out the structural components. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2023. "
Fattoria dei Barbi Winery
Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Patented system of vinification, based on the Tuscan tradition of "May Wines." A wine which was born from the extensive soaking of skinned Sangiovese grapes that rest for 3 months with their pomace. One of the first "Super-Tuscan's." Fattoria dei Barbi is "The" reference for Brunello in Montalcino. Barbi's approach of using tradition to anchor contemporary expressions of wine continues to position Barbi as a leading producer in Brunello. The Colombini family is one of the most influential of the region and have been an integral part in writing the history of Brunello. Fattoria dei Barbi's commitment to innovation and quality have lead to many "firsts." View all Fattoria dei Barbi Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Product Description
A Water Deterrent for Animals
Protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers water features from hungry or destructive animal intruders. The ScareCrow® motion-activated sprinkler automatically detects deer, dogs, cats and more as they approach. It repels them with a short but startling burst of water. The sudden noise, movement and spray scares the animals away and teaches them to avoid the area in the future.
Features & Benefits
The ScareCrow is an Effective Deterrent for Several Reasons
- Works day and night without chemicals or unsightly barrier.
- Conserves water as it just uses 2 to 3 cups per deterrence
- Can be linked to other ScareCrows to form an effective water barrier
- Operates for up to 6 mths on a single 9 volt battery
- One ScareCrow covers about 10metres
How does it work:
The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
- The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
- While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behaviour is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.
Using the ScareCrow is easy:
Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base. Set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go!
Reminder for ScareCrow use in winter:
To prevent damage from freezing water, take the ScareCrow inside and remove the battery before the first winter frost. Failure to do so may cause some parts to break as ice expands inside.
Technical Specifications:
The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

Now hardware builders like Dell are publishing notes for installing Google Chrome on their low cost netbooks. This little puppy runs Ubuntu Linux and while the install is still for geeks I suspect it's only a matter of time before the open source community creates a installer for newbies. This will be followed by official pre-installed Google Chrome releases from the hardware makers themselves.
The key to all of this is user adoption of course and if Google has really build a no-nonsense operating system and the hardware costs stay low Google will stomp all over Microsoft in the personal computing market segment.

The rapper feeds children as part of his Street King campaign.
50 Cent is putting his money where his mouth is. The rapper and philanthropist has traveled to Africa to create awareness around hunger and poverty issues as a part of his Street King campaign.
Fif is currently traveling through Kenya and Somalia, accompanied by ABC News reporter Dan Harris, who is documenting the journey for Nightline.
The G-Unit general posted pictures to his Facebook and Twitter account yesterday that show him during a visit to a refugee camp in Somalia.
"At times today, this [very] confident rapper was left speechless," Harris tweeted of that particular visit.
Part of 50's mission in Africa is to rally awareness for the impoverished nations, and he did so by showing proof in photos he posted to his Facebook account.
"I'm in Somalia this week to show the world the devastation that is taking place," he wrote. "Children going hungry everyday, even dying everyday from hunger. I am going to keep sending thru images from out here. I need you to take these photos and re-post to your friends. The world needs to see what is going on."
Street King is an energy shot created by 50, partial proceeds of which go to battling hunger in impoverished countries. In recent months, the rapper has devoted much of his star power to generating support for the drink and its cause.

HARN: Human Animal Research Network
The Human Animal Research Network (HARN) at the University of Sydney was formed in 2011. It is a cross-faculty research group comprising members from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Veterinary Science and the Sydney Law School. HARN is an important contributor to the emergent field of Animal Studies, both in Australia and internationally. This field of study serves as a bridge between the social sciences and sciences, and the structure of our group reflects this. Species extinctions, environmental degradation, as well as recent controversies surrounding Hendra virus, flying foxes, avian flu and Live Exports highlight the fact that significant problems emerge when public understandings, scientific innovation and legal frameworks are out of step with each other. The disciplines of human-animal studies, law, veterinary science, cultural studies and public health meet at this point – each concerned with questions such as:
- How does contact between humans and other species shape and reflect social relations in modern societies?
- How do humans and animals share places and spaces?
- How does human-animal interaction effect health, wellbeing and species survival?
By bringing together researchers who are experts in both social and scientific problem solving, HARN is uniquely placed to respond to these questions.

Editorial: Jaded-A A +A
Friday, May 23, 2014
ANOTHER radioman was shot dead by a gunman riding in tandem on a motorcycle in Digos City on Friday, which incidentally is the 54th month since the Ampatuan Massacre in 2009.
Samuel Oliverio, 54, was an anchor of Radyo Ukay and Supreme Radio, but who went on leave last February after suffering a stroke. He was with his wife on their way home from the market when shot in the head.
In a report by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) published in November 2013, it pointed to the administration of President Benigno C. Aquino III as being the worst since 1986, the reign of his mother, Corazon C. Aquino, in terms of number of journalists killed under a president's watch. At that time, it listed 23 journalists killed in the 40 months of PNoy administration.
"We can almost predict what comes next: police setting up another of those useless task forces that have so far failed to nail any of the masterminds in the 163 media murders before Oliverio's, and the government vowing to bring his case to 'justice' just as it has failed to do with all the other cases," the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) said in its statement condemning the killing.
"It would not be farfetched, either, to expect that, somewhere down the road, some government flunky, or even President Benigno Aquino III himself, will be repeating the immortal words he uttered during US President Barack Obama's visit, that the victim was killed 'not because of professional activities, but, shall we say, other issues'," it added.
Jaded, very jaded. But sadly, NUJP is just stating a fact, the lame excuses the lame actions that government has been taking in this direct attack to democracy – the forever silencing of those who speak against.
Add this to the lameness of the government in addressing corruption, the Mindanao power situation and a problem as simple as the air-conditioning system of one of the country's gateway, the NAIA 2. Yes, that lame.
Shall we allow this to continue? By the looks of it, we will. For as long as we treat major issues like corruption and massacres and killings of journalists as source of entertainment on television, then nothing will ever happen to our country. As is often said, people get the government they deserve. Jaded, too.
That does not mean that we are not condemning in the strongest term this newest killing. We are. We are simply tired of the words this government has been dishing out. That also does not mean that we do not want to hear what this administration will say, if ever it will even give this newest killing its attention. Like all other Filipinos glued to their television, we have found morbid entertainment in how government tackles issues just to swat off accusations and point the blame on someone or something else.
Giving credit where credit is due, at least we regularly hear some sense, sincerity, and sensitivity in Senator Grace Poe, aside from championing the Freedom of Information Bill also recently pointed out that what all other congressmen and senators are insisting on – the right of reply – curtails freedom of expression. Add to that the fact that she seems to be the only one who gave notice to the cries of the indigenous peoples to ensure that their rights are respected with the recently signed Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, when her other colleagues and the President seemingly remain uncomprehending. Thank God for small mercies.

Money $marts: Where is Denzel Washington when you need him to put the brakes on this runaway train?
"Unstoppable" is a well-executed tense movie starring Denzel Washington as a veteran railroad employee who, along with a trainee, Chris Pine, try to stop an unmanned runaway 75 mph train, wreaking havoc along its route, from crashing into an oil storage facility in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The two workers, speeding backward in another locomotive, pursue the runaway, hoping to hook onto its last car and apply brakes to slow the train down enough to get through a severe 15 mph curve on an elevated track overlooking the oil depot. After some near death drama, they succeed; the train is slowed through the curve and then stopped after the trainee jumps on and from a speeding truck to get to the locomotive's control room.
If only the same could be done with the runaway regulatory train that is wrecking the U.S. economy. This is not just a metaphor for the vast regulatory impositions of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) although one prominent Democrat did label it a "train wreck waiting to happen." No, it's an apt description, though undeniably more dramatic, of the unstoppable, unaccountable Washington civil servant bureaucracy that every day imposes more rules on the lives of Americans.
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, regulatory agencies have become a virtual fourth branch of the government. "American businesses and consumers are being buried under an avalanche of rules from a system that is increasingly opaque and unaccountable. Since 1976 we've added 176,000 regulations to the books. Federal agencies are churning out another 4,000 every year. And the number of 'major' regulations — those with a $100 million impact or greater — has gone up 80 percent in 10 years, from 124 in 2003 to 224 last year. The (annual) price tag for all the regulations already on the books is $1.8 trillion."
Milton Friedman, perhaps the greatest economist of the 20th century and an unabashed supporter of free markets, warned of giving too much power to people with hidden personality disorders. Mostly he was referring to the megalomaniacs that seem to get appointed to run the Federal Reserve Bank and proceed to do so believing they can control the vast complex economy of the U.S., with usually harmful results. But his warning is also appropriate for other bureaucrats in charge of government entities controlling huge chunks of economic activity.
These unelected civil servants with personal ideological agendas operate in a vacuum created by a dysfunctional Congress that passes vague complex legislation and then cedes authority to the relevant agencies to interpret and make the rules that define the bills. The discretionary aspect of this process gives regulators enormous power that is difficult to challenge, especially in a federal judicial system that is increasingly partisan. The EPA, HHS, FDA, IRS, JD and Federal Reserve are a few of the big name government agencies that march to the beat of their own drummers, grabbing power and extending control in ways that twist legislative intent.
This regulatory runaway train has to be slowed somehow. Where's Denzel?
