Touchdown Jesus cremation costs to be minimal
MONROE, OH - Officials have called off plans for a fundraiser to cover Touchdown Jesus' cremation costs after finding out that the final expense would be extremely low.
There were plans in place to raise money for the cremation by raffling off some of Touchdown Jesus' personal items, including his beard trimmer and collection of striped referee shirts.
Funeral home officials say that little money or effort was needed for the cremation due to what they describe as, "A really good head start."
William Purser of the Solid Rock Church was pleased to find out that the costs will be so low, "We'll be able to pay for this using only change from the pond out front. Well, after we sift through all those dead fish."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of generating images or multi-media documents from digital data. More specifically, the present invention relates to receiving multimedia documents containing a variety of data formats and outputting the multimedia document in a variety of formats.
2. Description of the Related Art
Data projectors are well known and have become commonplace in the home and business environment. Conventional data projectors are designed to display electronic documents formatted in a projectable image format like RGB or CYN. Typically, a "host" personal computer (PC) or laptop computer is physically connected to the projector such that a presentation document is hosted on the "host" PC and then sent to the projector for display on a screen. A user controls the desired appearance of the presentation document through the laptop or PC.
A conventional projector 102 is shown in
A distinct disadvantage with conventional projectors occurs when a user is preparing to display a presentation. The user must first verify that the particular software program (or application) that created the multi-media document is available on the laptop or PC that has been selected to host the presentation. Oftentimes, the particular specialized applications available on the hosting PC or laptop are quite different than the applications available on the PC or laptop where the document was created. Supporting multiple copies of costly multi-media applications on multiple PCs or laptops is possible, particularly for organizations like public schools and small businesses where only a limited number of licenses to a particular software application might be available. Another disadvantage relates to the resolution of the display of a multi-media document on a conventional digital projector being constrained by the resolution of the PC or laptop that is hosting the presentation.
Like data projectors, printers are also well known and have become ubiquitous. Conventional printers are designed to print electronic documents formatted in a standard printer language, like postscript or printer control language (PCL). These types of printer languages are standard within the printer industry, thus allowing universal compatibility with a variety of machines manufactured by a variety of different companies. Documents rendered in a standard page description language (PDL) such as PCL or postscript, describe the page to be printed in terms of primitive shapes which are interpreted by the printer's own controller. A conventional printer typically ignores any non-PDL data content contained within a document to be printed when an image is being rendered.
A conventional printer 202 including an input/output (I/O) controller 204; a memory unit 212; an image processing unit 208 coupled to memory unit 212; a print codec 214; print engine 206; and a system controller 210 coupled to the I/O controller 204, image processing unit 208, print codec 214, memory unit 212 and print engine 206; is shown in
Unfortunately, postscript, PCL and other PDLs are not designed to support embedded multimedia content (i.e. motion video, audio, still images, graphics, animation, text, etc), which is a common data format for many conventional presentation and entertainment based software packages. The primitive nature of the postscript language does not allow for is use when creating a presentation document, particularly ones that contains video, audio, or animation. Therefore, conventional printers are traditionally not capable of interpreting and printing documents containing multimedia content due to the fact that conventional printers are configured to receive documents formatted in the aforementioned standard printer languages that have a format of a single image per page. Also, conventional printers, and conventional projectors for that matter, are designed to support documents formatted only in their particular individual formats (i.e. PCL or RGB but not both). Standard printers and projectors have not been combined to form a multifunction output device that is capable of receiving data in a variety of different formats and outputting this data in any particular format requested by a user.
What is needed is a digital projector/printer system for receiving a document containing multi-formatted data, independent of the software application from which the document was created, and outputting the multi-media document in a variety of formats.
The present invention satisfies the foregoing need by providing a digital projector/printer system capable of displaying, printing, and controlling all multimedia content associated with a multi-media document. Associated with the projector/printer system are projector/printer drivers that can render the document in standard postscript and embed special instructions and codes that the projector/printer understands. In one embodiment, the embedded instructions and codes are placed inserted as comments in the code for the document. These embedded instructions and codes are instructions on where to fetch the media object over the network, and how to display it with respect to the rest of the page image, including the resolution and color of a display, or other relevant information. Advantageously, these embedded instructions and codes are ignored by conventional printers and projectors so the documents if processed by such printers or projectors are unaffected. With the projector/printer of the present invention, the embedded instructions and codes are parsed, interpreted and processed by the system controller inside the digital projector/printer to produce the desired result. Furthermore, the projection system can render a symbolic document at much higher quality than conventional digital projection systems since the system is not limited by the resolution of a PC or laptop running the application.
Another embodiment for handling multimedia documents discloses a driver, located on a computing device that converts portions of presentation documents, like Microsoft PowerPoint documents, to video data and embeds this video data within a PDL document for display. In this embodiment, special features such as animation or full motion are rendered in a different video clip. The document can include individual slides of data for presentation, with the video clips inserted between pages. When users move forward or backward through the slides, the appropriate video clip is shown. In this embodiment, multimedia documents can be rendered and displayed through the claimed digital projector/printer without the need for proprietary software.
The present invention is also capable of controlling a multimedia presentation through the use of a page description language. In this case, a driver on the user's PC embeds control code within a PDL document and sends the multimedia document to the projector/printer for display or printing. The system controller within the projector/printer recognizes the control code and retrieves the parameters associated with the code to provide control over the multimedia document when it is displayed.
A digital projector (DP) system 300 for displaying a multi-media document 330, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, is shown in
The digital projector system 300 is capable of receiving data in a variety of formats including multimedia documents that contain embedded instructions or codes in a special markup language, indicating the presence of multi-media content. Digital projector 300 provides "print-to-display" action for projecting multimedia documents on a digital projector by "printing" the documents similar to how a document is printed over a standard printer. Such functionality is fully disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/094,887 entitled "A Projector/Printer For Displaying Or Printing Of Documents," by Dar-Shyang Lee, Jonathan J. Hull, Bema Erol, and Jamey Graham, filed Mar. 30, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The two drivers 340, 350 are coupled to each other and located on a computing device such as a personal computer 360. These drivers 340, 350 initiate rendering of a document in a PDL and embed special tags for displaying multi-media components.
According to one embodiment, the projector/printer driver 350 takes data, renders the data in standard page description language (like postscript or PCL) to generate a standard document and sends the document to multimedia driver 340 for embedding multimedia content into and creating the multimedia document 330. When a particular presentation requires multi-media components to be displayed in conjunction with the PDL file, the multimedia driver 340 embeds special tags in the rendered PDL document containing instructions for fetching, formatting, and displaying multi-media components, like video, audio, or animation data, to form multimedia document 330. At this point, multimedia document 330 is ready to be transmitted through a local area network (LAN) or a parallel port connection to digital projector 302.
The I/O controller 310 preferably has a variety of connectors (not shown) such that multimedia document 330 can be sent to the digital projector 302 as parallel port data from a direct parallel connection with computing device 360; as network data received over a local-area-network (LAN) coupled by a network connection, wired or wireless; or as video data through a display connector like most conventional projector systems. Furthermore, a user can "print" a file to the digital projector system 300 over Bluetooth in yet another embodiment where the digital projector 302 includes a Bluetooth transceiver (not shown). I/O controller 310 supports a variety of data input formats through connection between a video input port, LAN input port, parallel input port, or any particular data port configured to accept any particular data format that a user chooses for display.
Once the particular multi-media document 330 is input to digital projector 302, by way of I/O controller 310, the document 330 is sent to the system controller 312 where the system controller 312 determines whether the incoming document 330 is in a compatible format for display by projector 302. In an embodiment, the system controller 312 is adapted to control the flow of data within digital projector 302 by receiving input data in a variety of formats (including video, print data or embedded multimedia) and outputting data to the appropriate modules of the multimedia image generator 314 for processing, conversion, or storage. In this embodiment, the system controller 312 also determines whether the incoming document 330 contains standard printer language with embedded multimedia that requires conversion to a data format suitable for projection. The system controller 312 unpacks the incoming multimedia document 330 and parses the content of multimedia document 330 into a PDL portion and a multimedia portion. The PDL portion of document 330 is sent to multi-media image generator 314 for data conversion to a format such as pixel and color data that can be provided to the display controller 108 to produce an image. Multi-media image generator 314 receives the PDL file and converts the file to a projectable format (like RGB or CYN data) that can be displayed through display controller 108 and optics 116 onto screen 118. The system controller 312 then interprets the remaining embedded instructions and codes such as in a special markup language within multimedia document 330 and these interpreted instructions and codes are delivered to the multi-media image generator 314 for processing. Multimedia data is fetched using the network, received, and formatted into a projectable format by multimedia image generator 314 and directed to display controller 108 and optics 116 for display onto screen 118.
The multimedia image generator 314 that renders multi-media documents for display is shown in more detail in
In one embodiment, the image-processing unit 306 receives video data and converts that data to pixel and color data. The image-processing unit 306 is coupled to the signal line 320 and is capable of receiving data from the codec 365, the digital storage 375 via storage controller 370, or database 390 via multimedia unit 385. The image-processing unit 306 also provides the pixel and color data to the display controller 108 via the system controller 312.
The storage controller 370 and digital storage 375 handle storage of input data, partially converted data, or processed pixel and color data. The storage controller 370 orchestrates storage of multiple multi-media files based on the order in which the I/O controller 310 receives the incoming data. The storage controller 370 accesses the temporary digital storage 375 to allow the digital projector 302 to receive data faster than it can be rendered, thus allowing the digital projector 302 to perform other tasks while the display of images continues.
The codec 365 has an input and an output coupled to line 320 to receive input data and output data. The codec 365 is configurable and capable of performing compression, decompression, encoding and decoding. The codec 365 is responsive to the application controller 380 and the system controller 312 as will be described in more detail below.
The application controller 380 is also coupled to line 320 for communication with the system controller 312, the codec 365, the image processing unit 306 and the storage controller 370. The application controller 380 controls the storage and conversion of files in a print format into video data format. As will be described in more detail below, the application controller 380 controls the codec 365, including identifying what type of coding or decoding to use to convert an input print file to a video data format. Such conversion includes running applications necessary to translate and interpret the print file format.
The multimedia unit 385 receives embedded instructions and codes that have been extracted from the non-PDL portion of the file. In one embodiment, the non-PDL portion of the file is the comments fields/part of a conventional PDL file. Within the comments, the present invention inserted instructions and codes pertaining to multimedia content associated with a particular data in the file. These embedded instructions and codes are sent from the system controller 312 to the multi-media unit 385 over signal line 320. Depending on the particular instructions and codes received, multimedia unit 385 performs the corresponding action such that the specific multi-media content can be located over a network coupled to the projector 302 and displayed appropriately with respect to the PDL portion of document 330. For example, multimedia unit 385 can advantageously interpret an Internet address embedded within a comment field associated with the special markup language indicating where multimedia content is remotely stored. Multimedia unit 385 can then establish a communications link between projector 302 and the Internet address such that multimedia content can be imported and stored locally in a database 390. Multimedia unit 385 sends multimedia content stored in database 390 to codec 365 for conversion or to image processing unit 306 for appropriate display and print formatting.
The system controller 312 identifies the multimedia document 330 as a document in page description language and having special codes or instructions embedded in the comments of the document. For example, this identification could be based on the port of the I/O controller 310 that received the multimedia document. Alternatively, the identification could be from identification of the document format or header information. In this embodiment, the system controller 312 receives the multimedia document and parses the document into a PDL portion and a non-PDL portion. The system controller 312 sends the PDL data to application controller 380 of the multimedia image generator 314 for appropriate data conversion. The system controller 312 also interprets the embedded codes and instructions, for example in a special markup language, within the multimedia document 330 and sends the interpreted instructions and codes to multimedia unit 385 for appropriate fetching and storage of multimedia content.
The application controller 380 receives the PDL portion of multimedia document 330 and sends translation instructions to codec 365 such that codec 365 can successfully carry out a PDL to video data conversion. The particular translation instructions sent from the application controller 380 to codec 365 depends on the exact form of the incoming PDL data. Different PDL data formats (i.e. postscript or PCL) have different translation instructions as will be recognized by those skilled in the art. During the conversion step, the incoming PDL data is converted to a data file suitable for further manipulation by the image-processing unit 306 to generate an image displayable by digital projector 302. Typical data display formats include, but are not limited to RGB and CYN data. Once the PDL data is converted successfully to a projectable format, the converted data is ready for processing and display.
In one embodiment, multimedia unit 385 receives interpreted instructions, embedded in multimedia document 330, from system controller 312 for fetching multimedia data over the Internet. The multimedia unit 385 establishes a communications link with the interpreted Internet address, as described above, and retrieves multimedia data by way of a LAN or wireless connection. Once the multimedia data has been retrieved, multimedia unit 385 sends the multimedia components to image-processing unit 306 for appropriate formatting and then to display controller 108 and optics 116 for display. In some cases, certain multi-media components are stored in database 390 while other components are fetched by multimedia unit 385 and displayed through optics 116. Storing fetched multimedia components within temporary storage database 390 allows digital projector 302 to maintain correct timing of the presentation, as dictated by the special markup language within document 330, while other tasks are being carried out in the background.
An embodiment of a system 307 for displaying multimedia documents independent of the software that created the document is shown in

A block diagram of an embodiment of a digital projector/printer system 400 is shown in
As shown in
The system controller 402 is similar to that described above, however, it includes the added functionality for the operations noted above, specifically: 1) projecting a display of an incoming multimedia file embedded with special markup language; 2) projecting a display of an incoming multimedia file embedded with video data; 3) printing an incoming multimedia file embedded with special markup language; 4) printing an incoming multimedia file embedded with video data; and 5) recording a presentation. The system controller 402 is adapted to control the flow of data within digital projector/printer 401 by receiving input data in a variety of formats (including multimedia, video, or print data) from I/O controller 310 and outputting data to the appropriate modules for processing, conversion, display, printing, recording, or storage. The system controller 402 is coupled to send and receive data and control signals to the multimedia image generator 414 and the presentation recorder 404. The system controller 402 is coupled to send data and control signals to the print engine 206 and the display controller 108.
The multimedia image generator 414 is similar to that described above, however, the multimedia image generator 414 for the projector/printer 401 embodiment of the present invention also includes functionality to output the file in print format to the print engine 206 for printing or a format suitable for the presentation recorder 404. The multimedia image generator 414 includes the image processing module 306, the codec 365, the storage controller 370, the digital storage 375, the application controller 380, multimedia unit 385, and database 390, coupled by signal line 420, as has been described above. Depending on the type and format of the incoming data, the system controller 402 determines which of these components of the multimedia image generator 414 receive the incoming data. The multimedia image generator 414 of the present invention is advantageously able to receive an input file in a variety of different formats, and convert that input file into pixel and color data that can be sent to the display controller 108 to generate a displayable image or convert the input file into control and print data that can be provided to the print engine 206 for generating a document. Different modules of the multimedia image generator 414 are used to manipulate the input file depending on its input format and the desired output. Multimedia image generator 414 preferably receives PDL files, non-PDL files, and interpreted comments embedded within a PDL file for conversion, fetching, processing, and/or storage.
In one mode, the image processing module 306 receives video data and converts that data to pixel and color data. In another mode, the image processing module 306 receives print data (i.e. PDL or PDL data) and converts it to data and control signals understood by the print engine 206. The image processing module 306 is coupled to the signal line 420 and is capable of receiving data from the codec 365 or the digital storage 375 via the storage controller 370 or the database 390 via the multimedia unit 385. The image processing unit 306 is also coupled to the system controller 402.
The codec 365, of multimedia image generator 414, is capable of additional functionality. The codec 365 has an input and an output coupled to line 420 to receive input data and output data. The codec 365 is configurable and capable of performing compression, decompression, and encoding and decoding signals. In an embodiment, the codec 365 is responsive to application controller 380 and multimedia unit 385 such that codec 365 is advantageously adapted to receive data of any particular format and convert the data to a variety of output formats. In particular, codec 365 is adapted to perform at least the following conversions: 1) a page description language to video data conversion and 2) a video data to page description language conversion.
The storage controller 370 and digital storage 375 handle storage of input data, partially converted data, or processed pixel and color data, or processed print and control data. The storage controller 370 is capable of storing multiple files based on the order in which the I/O controller 310 receives the incoming data. Storage controller 370 accesses the temporary digital storage 375 to allow the projector/printer 401 to receive data faster than it can be rendered, thus allowing it and other devices coupled to it to perform other tasks while the display or printing of images continues.
The application controller 380 is also coupled to line 420 for communication with the system controller 402, the codec 365, the image processing module 306 and the storage controller 370. The application controller 380 controls 1) the storage and conversion of files from a print format into video data format, 2) the storage and conversion of files from a video format into print format, and 3) conversion to and from a meeting recorder format. As will be described in more detail below, the application controller 380 controls the codec 365 including identifying what type of coding or decoding to use to convert an input file to a output data format, whether it be print or video format. Such conversion includes running applications necessary to translate and interpret the print and video file formats.
The multimedia unit 385 receives embedded portion of a multimedia document 403 pertaining to multimedia content associated with the multimedia file from system controller 402, by way of signal line 420. Depending on the particular comment received, multimedia unit 385 performs the corresponding action such that the particular multi-media content can be located over the network and displayed appropriately with respect to the PDL portion of document 330. For example, multimedia unit 385 advantageously interprets an Internet address where multimedia content is stored remotely, embedded within a comment associated with the special markup language. Multimedia unit 385 then establishes a communications link between projector 302 and the Internet address such that multimedia content can be imported and stored locally in database 390. Multimedia unit 385 sends multimedia content stored in database 390 to codec 365 for conversion or to image processing unit 306 for appropriate display and print formatting.
The print engine 206 can be any one of a conventional type, and using input and control signals from the system controller 402 generates a document 220 that may be printed text, drawings or images. The print engine 206 has an input coupled to the system controller 402 to receive data and commands. The system controller 402 preferably provides the information and data in a format understood by the print engine 206 such as PDL, PCL, postscript or other similar printer language.
In an embodiment, the system controller 402 determines whether the incoming document 430 contains standard printer language that requires conversion to a data format suitable for projection. System controller 402 unpacks the incoming multimedia document 430 and parses the content of multimedia document 430 such that the PDL portion of document 430 is sent to multimedia image generator 414 for data conversion to a format such as pixel and color data that can be provided to the display controller 108 to produce an image.
In an embodiment, projector/printer system 400 is capable of receiving multimedia documents in the form of network data or parallel port data (through PC 460) at the corresponding input port of I/O controller 310 and printing them. The output port of I/O controller 310 directs the multimedia document 430 to system controller 402 where the system controller parses the incoming multimedia document 430 and sends the PDL portion of document 430 to image processing unit 306 and/or storage controller 370. If the system controller 402 encounters special tags corresponding to multimedia components, embedded within document 430, system controller 402 interprets the embedded comment and directs the interpreted comment to multimedia unit 385, located within multimedia image generator 414, for retrieval of the multimedia components. Once the multi-media components have been retrieved, as described above, multimedia unit 385 determines the sequence of when the components are to be sent to print engine 206 for printing such that the original sequence of PDL elements and non-PDL elements within multimedia document 430 are retained in printed document 220.
In yet an embodiment, the projector/printer 401 is equipped with a presentation recorder 404 for capturing presentation data 450. The presentation recorder 404 is part of a larger system for recording meeting and presentations. Presentation data 450, such as from cameras, microphones; and other capture devices as well as from a server (not shown) may be input to the presentation recorder of the projector/printer 401. This data under direction and control of the system controller 402 and input from the user may be displayed, printed or later recalled by the projector/printer 401. The system controller 402 may store a displayed image to the presentation recorder 404 as well for recording a meeting that previously used the projector/printer 401. An exemplary presentation recorder 404 that could be incorporated as part of the present invention is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/728,560, filed Nov. 30, 2000, titled "Techniques for Capturing Information During Multimedia Presentations," by Jonathan Hull, Michael Baxter, Pamela Gage, Jamey Graham, Dar-Shyang Lee, and Peter Hart, which is incorporated by reference herein. The format of presentation data 450 can include at least video, audio, or print media. Presentation recorder 404 allows a user to simultaneously project a presentation and also record the presentation for later use or editing. The video recording portion of presentation recorder also allows for recording of a completely interactive presentation through capture of audience reaction, feedback, or questioning. Also, in an embodiment, presentation recorder 450 is equipped with a digital scanner to receive incoming print media for editing and printing the print media.
A method 1000, for processing the multimedia document 430 by digital projector/printer system 400 is described in flow diagrams 10A-10G. Initially, multimedia document is received 1005 at the I/O controller 312 and the I/O controller 312 directs the incoming multimedia document 430 to system controller 402 to determine 1010 whether the incoming multimedia document contains an embedded portion such as in a special markup language. If the multimedia data contains an embedded portion, the process continues in step 1011 as shown in
FIGS. 10A and 10B-D are flow diagrams that describe modes of operating the present invention for the case when incoming data is determined 1010 to contain only PDL data and no embedded portion. If the system controller 402 determines 1030 the command associated with the input data is the display command, the method transitions to step 1032 of
If the system controller 402 determines 1030 the command associated with the input data is not the display command, the method continues in step 1050 to determine whether the command associated with the data is the store for later use command. If so, the method stores 1055 the data in system memory and the process is complete and ends. For example, the system controller 402 sends the PDL data to storage controller 370 and digital storage 375 such that the PDL data is stored 1055 for later use. Once the storage is complete, the process ends.
If the system controller 402 determines 1050 the command associated with the input data is not the store for later use command, the method continues in step 1070 to determine whether the command associated with the data is the print PDL data command. If so, the method transitions to
If the system controller 402 determines 1070 the command associated with the input data is not the print PDL data command, the method continues in step 1090 to determine whether the command associated with the data is the associate PDL data with presentation command. If so, the method transitions to step 1092 of
If the system controller 402 determines 1090 the command associated with the input data is not to associate the PDL data with a presentation command, the process is complete.
If in step 1010 of
In step 1013, the system controller 402 determines if a print command is associated with the embedded portion of the multimedia document 430. If so, the method continues to step 1015 of
If in step 1013, the system controller 402 determines the print command is not associated with the input data, the method continues to step 1018 of
If in step 1018, the system controller 402 determines the display command was not associated with the multimedia document, the method continues to step 1023 where the system controller 402 determines whether the command associated with the input data was to store the multimedia document 430 for later use. If so, the system controller 402 provides the multimedia document 430 to storage controller 370 and digital storage 375 such that the multimedia document 430 can be stored 1025 in system memory for later use before the process ends. As an optional extension, multimedia document 430 can be associated with a presentation in a similar fashion described in steps 1092, 1094, 1096, and 1098 of
If in step 1023, the system controller 402 determines the command associated with the input data was not to store the image for later use and the multimedia document is not to be associated with a presentation, the process ends.

DEFINITION of 'Operating Company/Property Company Deal - Opco/Propco Deal'
A type of business arrangement in which a subsidiary company (the property company) owns all the revenue-generating properties instead of the main company (operating company). Opco/propco deals allow all financing and credit rating related issues for the companies to remain separate.
BREAKING DOWN 'Operating Company/Property Company Deal - Opco/Propco Deal'
In the U.K., opco/propco deals are a very popular method in which a parent company can create a real estate income trust (REIT). This can be done by initially selling income-generating assets from the operating company to a subsidiary. The subsidiary then leases the property back to the operating company. The operating company can then spin off the subsidiary as an REIT. The advantage of doing this is that the company can then avoid the double taxation on its income distributions.

Customer Reviews

August 2015

June 2015
I was unable to attend the tour.
June 2015
Absolutely great tour!We had Dave as our tour guide and his knowledge of beer is impressive! He made the tour very fun while also being educational. I have to say I'm not the biggest beer drinker but I very much enjoyed the tour and it opened my mind and my mouth to beer! Carly and Sean, South Australia
June 2015
The tour was amazing! DAVE was super fun and informative. Well worth it.. we would recommend it for sure
November 2014
I found the tour online prior to a one day visit in Toronto. History AND beer; what's not to like? The tour had everything I could ask for. Jason was very well educated in the local history as well as the beers we sampled. I got a lot of "off the track" history bits that where both amusing and surprising. I feel I learnt a lot a'boat Toronto in my short time. Thanks again Jason, for a fab afternoon!
September 2014
We enjoyed it very much. It was very interesting and even in the drizzle we had a great time with our guide.
August 2014
This was great fun! Our excellent guide James led us on a walk around some of the sites in Toronto - making a link to beer and brewing at all of the stops. We also went to two bars, which we wouldn't have found by ourselves, where James talked us through the extensive beer menus, explained the different brewing methods used in the different types of beer, and made some recommendations on which to try. We were able to buy sampler size beers - which meant that we got to try more of the beers available!
July 2014
Our guide Dan was great! He was very knowledgeable about beer and the process. In addition to the beer stops, we also went to St. Lawrence Market where we tried some ice wines, mustard and pastries that were delicious. We also tried some sake. Overall, it was a fantastic tour!
June 2014
fantastic! it was just me and my friend on the tour with the guide (whose name was Dan, I believe) and we had a blast! the bars we went to and the beers were amazing, and I really feel like I learned a lot. Dan was very fun and informative and was easy to talk to. he made everything enjoyable and comfortable, even though it was just the three of us for 3.5 hours. he seemed to really know his stuff, and we could tell he enjoyed what he was talking about. really fun afternoon!

The main driver was Brazil, where the soybean seed portfolio outperformed in a strong market: a robust commodity price and the depreciation of the Real are boosting grower profitability and are expected to result in record soybean plantings. Non-selective herbicides also grew strongly; fungicides sales are weighted to the fourth quarter as invoicing is aligned to consumption.

Sales of Selective herbicides were driven by the Americas. CALLISTO® for corn and FLEX® for soybean both grew strongly in response to demand for effective weed resistance management. In Non-selective herbicides sales of TOUCHDOWN® continued to expand rapidly in Brazil, with strong demand and a shortage of supply from competitors resulting in significant volume and price gains. Insecticides sales were slightly higher, with good growth in Asia Pacific and Europe offset by a decline in the USA due to low insect pressure. Sales of DURIVO® were up by almost 50 percent with growth in all regions. Fungicides sales were driven by AMISTAR®, with sales more than doubling in the USA and continuing their rapid expansion in Asia Pacific. Seed care was driven by the new product VIBRANCE®, based on the SDHI fungicide sedaxane. During the quarter VIBRANCE was registered on over 30 additional crops in the USA, including corn, and received Annex 1 approval in the EU.
In seeds, Corn and soybean grew strongly with a significant contribution from soybean in Brazil. Growth in Diverse field crops was modest after a strong first half and came mainly from oilseed rape in Europe. Vegetables growth was concentrated in the USA and Brazil.
Lawn and Garden sales increased by 9 percent at constant exchange rates; excluding acquisitions and divestments growth was 12 percent. The divestment of lower margin activities and the attractive prospects for high value chemistry and genetics put this business well on track to achieve the target of a 20 percent EBITDA margin in 2015.
Mike Mack, Chief Executive Officer said: "The third quarter performance demonstrates our ability to sustain growth across our business in a context of crop price and currency volatility. Following a good start to the Latin American season, we remain on track to deliver full year sales growth in line with our longer term target."
"Looking further ahead, we remain on track to deliver our target of $25 billion in sales of our eight key crops in 2020. We expect improved profitability in 2014 and maintain our target of an EBITDA margin in the range of 22 to 24 percent in 2015."

(AP) -- One thing about the end of space shuttle flight: Everyone has an opinion. A look at some of the views from those close to the space program:
Atlantis blazed a path into history Friday as it rocketed off the launch pad for a final time, marking the last-ever liftoff of the 30-year-old American space shuttle program.
(PhysOrg.com) -- With its beginnings rooted deeply in the historic days of Apollo, the MILA Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network Station has played a key role throughout the 30 years of the Space Shuttle Program. But just ...
(AP) -- Thunderstorms are still threatening to delay NASA's last space shuttle launch, set for Friday.
(AP) -- The weather isn't cutting NASA any breaks, not even for the last space shuttle launch.
Showers and thunderstorms are likely to force a delay to this week's planned final launch of the space shuttle, NASA's weather officer said on Tuesday.
(AP) -- The four astronauts assigned to NASA's last space shuttle flight can't seem to escape all the fuss and hubbub.
A rocket ferrying an Earth-observing satellite is set to launch on a mission to measure the saltiness of the ocean from space.
(AP) -- Space shuttle Endeavour's astronauts took a close, detailed look at a small gash in the belly of their ship Saturday, to ensure their safety when they return to Earth in 1 1/2 weeks.
NASA is examining seven heat shield tiles that appear to have been damaged during the shuttle Endeavour's ascent into orbit, but the US space agency said Wednesday there was no cause for concern.
