2007 Panoplie included in Spring 2010 VINsider shipment
The 2007 Panoplie, rated 98+ points by Robert Parker, was sent exclusively to Tablas Creek Vineyard's VINsider club members. One bottle was included in the spring 2010 club shipment, with VINsiders offered the opportunity to order 4 additional bottles. In addition, VINsiders who reserved this wine as futures in December, 2008 received their wine in the fall of 2009. Ordering the Esprit de Beaucastel and Panoplie en primeur is available exclusively to VINsider wine club members.
We have more information on the VINsider wine club, and more VINsider news
In exceptional vintages, Tablas Creek Vineyard produces small quantities of Panoplie: a Mourvèdre-based cuvée from meticulously selected grapes, made in the model of Château de Beaucastel's Hommage á Jacques Perrin. In 2007, only 500 cases were produced.
The 2007 vintage was the best vintage we've yet seen at Tablas Creek. Yields were very low (down between 15% and 30%, depending on variety) due to a cold and very dry winter, which produced small berries and small clusters. A moderate summer without any significant heat spikes followed, allowing gradual ripening, and producing red wines with tremendous intensity, excellent freshness and a lushness to the fruit which cloaks tannins that should allow the wines to age gracefully. Syrah began the harvest of our reds between September 5th and October 3rd, followed by Grenache between September 25th and October 22nd and Mourvèdre throughout October and completing the harvest on October 30th.
The grapes for our Panoplie were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The grapes were fermented using native yeasts in open and closed stainless steel fermenters. After pressing, the wines were moved into barrel, blended, and aged in large-format French oak demi-muids before being bottled in July 2009.
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Panoplie 2007 is a barrel-by-barrel selection of the most intense lots of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah in the cellar, structured for long aging. It is a dense purple-red in color with a rich plum nose, ripe and sweet with coffee and eucalyptus notes. The complex palate shows full flavors of red and black fruit, licorice, pepper, and roasted meat. It is concentrated, dense and elegant with a wonderfully long licorice and spice finish.
Updated tasting notes from a December 2012 vertical tasting can be found on the Tablas Creek blog.
Expected Maturity
Not Available for Purchase
On December 5th, all Tablas Creek wine club members are invited to join Tablas Creek's winemakers at one of two sessions (10:30am or 1:30pm) to taste the 2014 Esprit de Tablas and 2014 Panoplie from barrel, discuss the vintage, and enjoy a seasonal dish created to pair with the wines. The $30 cost to attend the event is refundable on any en primeur purchase. Because of the limited space at this exclusive event, club members may bring no more than 2 guests. Details »
Whether or not they attend the tasting, members may order futures at an additional 5% off of the member club discount, typically 25%-30% off eventual release price. Members should look forward to receiving an invitation to the futures tasting and en primeur offering in the mail in early November.
We are pleased to have been included in recent articles in The New York Times (on creative responses to California's drought) and the Washington Post (on our 11 new AVA's) and to see the attention for Paso Robles. More recent press »
We are thrilled to announce that we've received our shipping permit from the great state of Massachusetts. Residents of the Bay State can now order wine or become VINsider Wine Club members. More shipping news »

We're ready to deliver another railway revolution
Posted: April 23, 2014|
FIRST Great Western recognises the importance of supporting the communities we serve and the value of transport links to local economies.
We run 9,079 services every week, calling at 276 stations. Our trains cover a total 70 million miles and carry 97 million passengers every year, providing high-speed, commuter, regional and branch line train and sleeper services across the Great Western rail franchise area.
This includes Bristol and the surrounding areas, with direct services to stations en route to London, Devon and Cornwall, South Wales, the Cotswolds and further north towards Hereford.
In Bristol, we are also delighted to support and work with the Severnside Community Rail Partnership, the Local Enterprise Partnership, rail users and others to add value and expertise to projects designed to improve services and make stations safer, friendlier and greener.
Every day our helpful and friendly staff help to transport thousands of people to their workplaces, to important meetings, to visit friends and relatives or simply to enjoy a day out. We recognise the key role good customer service and innovation can play in that journey.
Business and innovation is what created the Great Western Main Line and what symbolises Bristol today – from the Clifton Suspension Bridge to the thriving aerospace industry.
The innovation is set to continue with the electrification of the Great Western Main Line and the introduction of Intercity Express Programme trains, as well as additional platforms at the station, delivering another revolution in passenger travel and quicker journeys, further helping Bristol businesses to grow and prosper.
This is why we are proud to sponsor the highly regarded Bristol Business Awards.
We would like to take the opportunity now to congratulate all of those nominated for an award and to wish them good luck as overall winners are decided.

Ministry Medical Group's Bariatric Surgery program is a Center of Excellence. The process to a healthier you includes dietary education, psychological evaluation, consultation, sleep evaluation, upper endoscopy, support group, surgery scheduling, pre-operative evaluations - history and physical, dietary, fitness, pre-admissions appointment and surgery.
Below is a list of steps that may be required once you have attended an informational meeting and have been contacted by one of our staff members regarding insurance coverage.
Our program requires meeting with the dietitian. Most insurance companies require 3 months to 1 year of dietary classes. During this time, information is gathered about previous attempts at weight loss. If your insurance requires, you will participate in a supervised weight loss program one on one with the dietitian for the amount of time specified by your insurance company. The dietitian will educate you on the diet you will be expected to follow after surgery. You will have appointments with the physician assistant or surgeon, and the dietitian periodically after surgery to ensure your lifetime success.
Psychological evaluations are required for all patients. Meeting with the psychologist ensures that you (the patient) have the capabilities required to commit to the dietary and exercise changes/requirements that occur with these procedures. Your psychological evaluation may require you to have ongoing therapy prior to surgery or throughout the surgical process. You must abide by the treatment plan provided in order to be considered a candidate for surgery.
You will be scheduled to see the surgeon shortly after attending an informational meeting. At your consultation appointment the surgeon will review your medical history, the appointments you have completed in the process, and an in depth explanation of the surgery you wish to have. He will also perform a brief physical examination. Please be prepared to spend approximately an hour at the office that day. Additional appointments may be made after your consultation as deemed necessary by the surgeon.
After seeing the surgeon, he may find it necessary for you to undergo a sleep study. This is an appointment with the doctor who specializes in sleep disorders. This doctor will check for the presence of sleep apnea - a serious condition that is characterized by brief interruptions in breathing during sleep.
After seeing the surgeon, he may find it necessary to perform an upper endoscopy. During this procedure, performed at the hospital, the surgeon is able to view your entire upper gastrointestinal tract through a scope.
Support groups are offered in Stevens Point and Rhinelander. Upcoming dates, times and locations are listed on our main page.
Once our office receives a letter of approval from your insurance company and you have completed all necessary pre-operative requirements it is time to meet with the surgeon once again. At that time the surgeon will explain in detail your preferred surgical procedure and its associated risks. Together we will pick a surgery date. You will sign a consent form and register for any additional pre-surgery appointments. You will need to keep all your appointments or your surgery may be canceled or postponed.
Once your surgery is scheduled, our office will make arrangements for you to have a history and physical by your primary doctor. Your family doctor will give us the "ok" that you are physically ready for surgery.
Once again, you will meet with the dietician to review post-operative diet requirements.
This evaluation is done by a physical or occupational therapist. The therapist will evaluate you pre-operatively and post-operatively. He or she will establish an exercise routine that is right for you.
A nurse from the hospital will call you prior to surgery to verify your medical history, medication and answer any questions you may have prior to having surgery.
Congratulations! This is the beginning of your new journey to a new and healthier lifestyle. Learn more about life After surgery.

If you feel the current design of the PlayStation Store leaves a lot to be desired, then you'll probably be glad to hear it's being totally revamped. A new UI should do a better job of pushing fresh content at you, and its appearance will be consistent regardless of whether you're outputting in standard or high def. Searching has been improved to handle abbreviations and misspellings, and a dynamic list of suggestions will try to work out what you're looking for as you type. Also, Vita and PSP content will be separated, new filters will be available and content hubs will offer everything linked to a certain title, à la the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Sound good?

Nobody stepped in to ever slow 'em up, gasp
Lyric Meaning
A clever car metaphor: "nobody stepped in to ever slow 'em up"(as in, stepping on the brake). These kids don't have mentors/role models to help these kids grow up "properly". Instead, they are only influenced by their environment which encourages them to grew up fast (see previous line).
…"Fast" like you're stepping on the "GASp" (Lupe says "gasp" like "gas" but with a p")

This is our obligatory eighth-annual Christmas tree by bike post. Tree-hauling is old hat by now, but I thought I'd post some photos of this year's adventure anyway. You might remember that last year our daughter hauled the tree. When we discussed who would pedal the tree home this year, I realized I'd never done it. How did I pass on all of those tree-hauling opportunities over the years? Naturally I volunteered for the task.

higgs boson
If it looks like the Higgs... and it smells like the Higgs... have we finally found it? Most physicists agree it's safe to say we've finally observed the elusive Higgs boson. And perhaps that is not all....
A bump in the data from the LHC promises exciting news.
In this video theoretical physicist Ben Allanach talks about the search for dark matter at the LHC.
Latest observations hint towards new particles.
Physicists love symmetry, but they get even more excited about symmetry breaking. They even believe that many of the features of the world we live in are a result of it. What do they mean by that?
We might have found the Higgs boson, but the search for new physics at the LHC isn't over yet.
In 2004 three physicists decided to dabble in a field they knew little about. Within weeks they had developed a new technique that transforms weeks' worth of computer calculations into something that could be done on a single page in an hour. It's used in particle accelerators such as the LHC at CERN.
The 2013 Nobel prize in physics goes to Peter Higgs and François Englert for proposing the mechanism that gives things mass.
In the first part of this article we explored Landau's theory of phase transitions in materials such as magnets. We now go on to see how this theory formed the basis of the Higgs mechanism, which postulates the existence of the mysterious Higgs boson and explains how the particles that make up our Universe came to have mass.
It's official: the notorious Higgs boson has been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The Higgs is a subatomic particle whose existence was predicted by theoretical physics. Also termed the god particle, the Higgs boson is said to have given other particles their mass. But how did it do that? In this two-part article we explore the so-called Higgs mechanism, starting with the humble bar magnet and ending with a dramatic transformation of the early Universe.

Sir Alex Ferguson's departure as Manchester United manager was confirmed at 9.15am.
The announcement, with a statement on the club's website, brought tributes from players, fans and the world of football.
See our round-up of the best (and worst) Twitter tributes here or read further news, reaction and MirrorFootball analysis as it unfolded here.
This is brilliant, this - must read.
The Sunday Mirror's man in the North-West Simon Mullock - a Manchester City fan - on his view of the cantankerous old genius: Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sheer brilliance: 'Who the f**k are you?': Man City fan and Sunday Mirror man Simon Mullock on meeting Fergie
Paddy Crerand is always ranting about something.
The United man was gabbling on the radio earlier on and we've got the audio in full for your listening pleasure.
"I'm just laughing," said the United legend when quizzed about Sir Alex's departure from Old Trafford.
"I think people must sit up at night and think now, 'What can I do to make a sensational story?'
"I was at Manchester United last night for three hours, maybe longer than that, four hours... not a murmur about it."
"I think it's a load of rubbish."
John Cross has made some phonecalls and it further points towards Moyes' appointment.
Jose Mourinho is STILL heading for Chelsea,according to his camp.
The timing? It's just a coincidence - and some outlets are reporting that Moyes will be named as boss within 24 hours.
If you're still focusing, digesting and worrying then take a second to remember the good times.
Sir Alex has provided us with some great moments, so we've attempted to chuck together a video special of all his top moments.
My favourite is the balloon one:
Alex Ferguson's best bits! Watch the retiring Scot's funniest TV moments
Former scout, Sporting Director and CEO Tor-Kristian Karlsen has had his say, based on his years of experience inside top European football clubs like Zenit St Petersburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco:
David Moyes would be the "conservative" option. Has the right personality and character to take on such a challenge; measured & intelligent.
He would benefit from being "mentored" by Sir Alex, which would theoretically ensure a smooth transition, not revolution, yet questions remain as regards recruitment policy (ability to plan on a much greater scale/budget), lack of Champions League experience plus the ability to handle top earning star players.
And does he possess the required charisma that a world "brand" wants to project worldwide?
Finally: if Moyes's tenure doesn't start brilliantly, the internal (players) and external pressure (media, supporters) will be massive
The outside world (and players) may soon start to doubt the appointment ("too big a job for him"), making the negative trend hard to reverse.
At this level, with Man Utd possibly the biggest football club in the world, having persona, charisma and "showbiz appeal" are extremely important/
Even if results weren't great, nobody could create instant instability by questioning Mourinho's pedigree or track record.
Mourinho has already proven that he can handle pressure under the most extreme circumstances (Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid)
I also think Mourinho would command more respect in the dressing room from day one (though Moyes may gain respect with time), and has a higher WOW factor.
Moyes is an excellent "football man" - and won't disgrace himself at a bigger club - but this is Manchester United, where Mourinho's skills are more suitable
Is Mourinho "too controversial" to manage Man Utd? Why? Ferguson has not always been a gentleman either.
Much like Mourinho, Sir Alex also thrived on conflicts, "us vs them", mind games, media boycotts etc.
That is something that is often the mind set of a winner.
Peter Schmeichel has spoken to CNN:
The Dane is very surprised by the news, and even suggested there may be something we don't know about, health issues?
"I'm shocked, I'm sad, I'm disappointed… there's got to be something out there that we're not aware of," said the United legend.
What would this mean for Wayne Rooney?
David Moyes sued Wayne Rooney for libel over certain claims in the first volume of his autobiography.
Could the two really work together after the forward's acrimonious departure from Goodison Park?
From what we understand, Wazza could be Munich-bound anyway.
David Gill is leaving his role with the Old Trafford club, but he has spoken about Ferguson's reign at United and who will replace him.
"If you look at what's happened in our two most successful eras, with Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex, we had managers there who got involved in the whole aspects of the club, whether it be from the youth team aspect, up to the first-team, all those aspects.
"So that degree of loyalty, understanding the football club is not just what happens on the first-team pitches, is crucial to the success of Manchester United.
"So those are the things we're looking at. Clearly he's got to have the requisite football experience, both in terms of domestic and European experience. It's a small pool, but we'll move forward.
Here are his words in full.
Our Manchester Man David McDonnell - who has been banned more times than he care remember by the Old Trafford tyrant - has just filed a nice little piece on why he'll miss the United boss.
No, I don't understand either.
Maybe reading this will help:
'You're a f****** disgrace!': Why we'll all miss Sir Alex - and his infamous hairdryer
The Daily Mirror understands that Everton are yet to receive any contact from Manchester United.
A source at boardroom level has told MirrorFootball that [as of 14:00] the club has not heard from the Old Trafford outfit.
If United were to name Moyes as their manager (as has been suggested) then they would need to negotiate a release from the remaining month of his Goodison Park contract.
While Moyes quite obviously seems to be the front-runner, until recently there had be no contact between the clubs.
As a further addition to the previous update:
A boardroom-level source at Everton has revealed that the club have not heard from Moyes today either.
While the Scot may have agreed a deal with United, he won't be able to take the reigns - as he is now expected to- unless an exit is discussed with Bill Kenwright and rubber-stamped.
He (just about) ticks David Gill's boxes.
Latest from New York:
Man United shares have tumbled following the news that Sir Alex is stepping down.
The price is set for its biggest fall since their listing, and is already down 4.6% in the first 20 minutes of US trading.
Fairly inevitable I suppose.
United's players were promised a day at the races provided they didn't lose to Chelsea at the weekend.
They did lose, but Fergie - with other things on his mind, obviously - has let them go anyway.
Check them out; walking, breathing evidence that money can't buy style - yes, Wayne I am talking about you.
More from Everton:
Sources inside the club insist that Everton have still had no contact with Manchester United over David Moyes.
The Goodison Park outfit are also adamant that United would need their permission to discuss a contract with their manager, even with such a short amount of timing remaining on his deal.
Moyes is, however, expected to meet Bill Kenwright in London this evening.
Shares in the Manchester United group fell more than 4% in New York after Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement.
That wiped an estimated $123m (£81m) off the group's market value.
So is £80-odd million the price of a good manager?
Coincidentally it's around the same amount United sold Cristiano Ronaldo for.
Sources close to David Moyes have told MirrorFootball that they expect the Everton man to be named the next Manchester United manager.
The club have still not received contact from Manchester United.
Moyes was originally planning to attend Chelsea's game with Tottenham tonight, but it is unknown if those plans will have changed.
How d'you fancy some reaction from a former England winger?
How about a former England captain who played under Sir Alex Ferguson?
Ok, fine, we'll chuck in the chairman of the Football Association as well.
Words from rivals:
Italian giants Juventus have put a tribute to Ferguson up on their official site (it's starting to sound like he's died or something):
"There have been many memorable clashes between Juventus and Manchester United over the years and it will be extremely strange not to see him on the touchline directing his troops when the two sides next meet.
"Thank you for the fond memories Sir Alex, it's been an honour to share the pitch with you.
"All associated with Juventus Football Club wish Sir Alex Ferguson the best of luck in the future."
David Beckham has given his thoughts:
"I've just seen the news on Sir Alex. As I have said many times before the boss wasn't just the greatest and best manager I ever played under he was also a father figure to me from the moment I arrived at the club at the age of 11 until the day I left.
"Without him I would never have achieved what I have done in my career. He understood how important it was to play for your country and he knew how much it meant to me.
"After '98 without the manager I would have found it virtually impossible to cope with the attention I was getting on and off the field and for this I will always be grateful to him for his support and protection.
"I am truly honoured to have been guided by the greatest manager in football and to have had the career that I had under him.
Thank you boss and enjoy the rest!"

vs. Philadelphia (Dec. 2) The Eagles have defeated Dallas the last two years at Cowboys Stadium. Since Eagles QB Michael Vick became their starter in 2010, he's 3-0 against the Cowboys. Vick has passed for 842 yards and six touchdowns with two interceptions in those three victories. The Cowboys lead the all-time series, 60-46, but have lost three of the last four.

Hi, Gnashings.
I wouldn't think it would be too late to re-do your Canon...I actually have written re-sealing instructions for the AE-1 and many other popular models. They give a step by step walk-through of the process with images. In some (Nikons, for example) I also show how to safely remove/replace the focus screen for cleaning & re-sealing, and in some rangefinders (like Petri Racer), I also mention how to adjust the rangefinder with images. There are tips and hints in many of the instructions, actually. Of the models I remember off the top of my head:
Nikon FM series (FM, FM2, FM2n)
Nikon EM
Minolta SRT series
Canonet second series
Canon AE-1 style
Olympus OM-2s & similar (includes OM-1, but I'm still working on the databack supplement for the OM series)
Minolta Hi-Matics
Yashica FRII
Yashica Electro 35 series
Petri Racer
Olympus OM-10
Fujica AX-3 & similar
Yashica Lynx 5000
Olympus XA series (all)
A couple have been translated into other languages (Italian, mainly. Working on some in Spanish, one in French + a friend in France has written some similar articles in French--medium format mainly & I have his site.)
I'm happy to send these to those here who want them. I wrote them to be shared, and I'm writing more as time allows. Several are in progress now, but it takes a while to do it right. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to request them, and please put light seal or something like that in the message line.
Also...big news...Rick Oleson and I have decided to combine the large light seal kit with his amazing and entertaining 20+ year compilation of tech/repair drawings on a CD, and that will be offered very soon. So, things are still happening to keep it interesting.

Remember Me
Founding members Daniel and Jenna Watters are both featured on guitar and vocals, with Paul Morris on Wurlitzer piano and guitar, Steve Rogers joins on bass with Ryan Ebarb on keys and Carl Sorensen on drums. Their musical goal: "Spreading our music and message of the importance of coming together as a people in the name of love and peace. Oh, and making a living off our music so we can quit our day jobs," says Jenna Watters. Oak Creek has been performing extensively around the southwest for thousands of people in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Colorado since 2010. The versatility they have gained through playing in a variety of venues for a wide demographic is immediately evident but their musical style, however, is not. "The Oak Creek Band has a hold of their identity, even if that identity isn't something that can be easily categorized," says Peter Washington of Concerted Effort Blog. Courtney Boutwell of GtoC Magazine also conceded, "I was searching and searching; but... I could not identify another band with a similar sound.
Having just sold out of the first pressing of their self-titled EP in less than a year, the new six song EP, "Fingerprints," will feature songs from the band's popular live repertoire including the new single "2012." Production is currently underway in Morrison, Colorado with Josh Fairman at Scan-Hope Sound Ranch. It will demonstrate the same classic song-writing style as their original EP, but hopes to convey the raw energy The Oak Creek Band emits in a live setting. Look for "Fingerprints" to be released this spring!

More than 140 killed in Gaza - envoyComment on this story
Jerusalem - The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations said on Tuesday that more than 140 people have been killed and more than 950 injured in the Israeli offensive on Gaza.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour gave the toll in a letter to the UN Security Council in which he again demanded that the 15-member body meet to condemn the Israeli action launched to stop militant rocket attacks from Gaza.
The Security Council held talks late on Tuesday to discuss a demand by Arab nations that it hold a public meeting on the crisis.
Western diplomats had expressed fears that comments made at an open meeting could harm efforts to reach a ceasefire, but they agreed to hold the meeting on Wednesday at 20.00 GMT.
Mansour said the 140-plus dead from the seventh day of the Israeli air strikes include "many children." Five Israelis have been reported killed in rocket attacks from Gaza over the week.
Hamas authorities have spoken of 136 dead in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Mansour said the Security Council had to "shoulder its (UN) charter responsibilities and act to stop this onslaught against the Palestinian people."
The United States earlier blocked a proposed Security Council statement calling for a halt to hostilities between Israel and Hamas. A US letter said the proposed statement "failed to address the root cause" of the showdown which it said was the Hamas rocket attacks into Israel. - AFP

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Maintains 2002 Targets Business Editors TOPEKA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2002--Western Resources (NYSE: WR) today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2001, and the amount of a charge to be recorded in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards related to accounting for goodwill and intangible assets. Consolidated Results Western Resources reported a consolidated net loss of $0.31 per share in 2001, compared to net earnings of $1.96 per share in 2000. A discussion of results by business line follows. Westar Energy Westar Energy contributed operating earnings of $0.50 per share in 2001, compared to $1.12 per share in 2000. The decrease in earnings resulted principally from less favorable weather, the reduction in retail rates ordered by the Kansas Corporation Commission in July 2001 and a net charge of approximately $14 million ($0.20 per share) in the fourth quarter related to a work force reduction. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2001, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $287 million and $473 million, respectively, before the fourth quarter charge related to a work force reduction. Westar Energy is expected to contribute EBIT and EBITDA of approximately $325 million and approximately $525 million, respectively, in 2002. Westar Industries Westar Industries reported a loss of $0.81 per share in 2001, compared to earnings of $0.84 per share in 2000. Monitored Services Monitored services reported a loss of $1.38 per Western Resources share in 2001, compared to a loss of $0.88 per share in 2000. The increased loss resulted principally from a 21 percent decrease in revenues from the prior year (both Protection One and Protection One Europe sold certain operations during the year), one-time expenses of $9.7 million pre-tax at Protection One in 2001 primarily related to efforts to consolidate and streamline operations, and reduced gains, $34.5 million in 2001 compared to $49.3 million in 2000, from the retirement of Protection One debt. Westar Industries currently owns approximately 86.1 million shares of Protection One common stock, representing 80.4 percent ownership on a fully diluted basis. Protection One may from time to time repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. In this event, Westar Industries will sell shares to Protection One to maintain its proportionate ownership interest in Protection One. ONEOK The investment in ONEOK contributed $0.51 per share to 2001 earnings, compared to $0.56 per share in the prior year. ONEOK's earnings were adversely impacted by their exposure to Enron Corp. and an order from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission that denied the recovery of certain gas costs. International Generation/Guardian/Miscellaneous Other unregulated holdings contributed $0.06 per share to 2001 earnings, compared to $1.16 per share in the prior year. The prior year earnings included gains from the sale of investments. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In 2001, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Under SFAS No. 142, effective Jan. 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized as was required under past accounting standards and goodwill is required to be separately tested for impairment using a fair-value based approach as opposed to the undiscounted cash flow approach used under past accounting standards. In accordance with these new standards, Western Resources will record a net charge of approximately $654 million in the first quarter of 2002. Approximately $465 million of the charge is related to the impairment of Protection One and Protection One Europe goodwill, which will be reflected in the statement of income as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The balance, $189 million, is related to the impairment of Protection One customer accounts and will be reflected in the statement of income as an operating cost. An independent appraisal firm was engaged to assist in the determination of estimated fair values. This non-cash charge will not result in any violation of debt covenants and is not expected to affect liquidity. In 2001, Protection One and Protection One Europe charged a total of approximately $57 million of goodwill amortization. After January 1, 2002, goodwill will no longer be amortized to income. However, the new accounting rule requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis. Other Westar Energy had approximately 1,921 employees at February 1, 2002. A net charge of approximately $24 million will be recorded in the first quarter of 2002 related to a voluntary separation program completed in January 2002. Western Resources (NYSE: WR) is a consumer services company with interests in monitored services and energy. The company has total assets of more than $7.5 billion, including security company holdings through ownership of Protection One (NYSE: POI) and Protection One Europe, which have more than 1.2 million security customers. Western Resources provides electric utility services as Westar Energy to about 640,000 customers in Kansas. Through its ownership in ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE), a Tulsa-based natural gas company, Western Resources has a 44.7 percent interest in one of the largest natural gas distribution companies in the nation, serving more than 1.4 million customers.

What happens in each case could vary materially from what we expect because of such things as electric utility deregulation; ongoing municipal, state and federal activities, such as the Wichita municipalization efforts; future economic conditions; legislative and regulatory developments; competitive markets; and other circumstances affecting anticipated operations, sales and costs. 2001 ANNUAL REPORT WESTERN RESOURCES, INC.

The issue happens when the VWO tracking code is added to the page twice.

I have same problem with kathycook, I am seeing blank screen in chrome, safari.
Since activating this plugin on our corporate website (which is run on WordPress 3.5.1) we are seeing blank pages in Chrome consistently, and sometimes in Firefox (not IE) - this is cleared to reveal page content on 1/2/3 sometimes 4 page refreshes - clearly not a great experience. Deactivating the plug-in has cleared the issue.

I may have got something wrong in the install?
Insufficient instructions with the Plug-in - including to use it to set-up tests in VWO make it unclear.

U.S. intelligence analysts believe Al Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The conclusion suggests that the group that launched the most devastating terror attack on the U.S. has been able to rebuild despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.
Still, numerous government officials said they know of no specific, credible threat of a new attack.
The report will be discussed at the White House on July 12, 2007, as part of a broader meeting on an upcoming national intelligence estimate.
The officials names were not released because the report remains classified.

Check in staff were highly professional throughout. There are so many things to do without leaving the premises! Excellent location for shopping and restaurants. I was originally booked in a Premier room, which was fantastic. Standard configuration, however the room facilities were immaculate and very modern. After one night, the TV's wouldn't work and they moved me into the only other room type they had available - 2 bedroom suite. I will most certainly say that I have not ever stayed in a room quite like it! Absolute stunning. Stayed for 4 nights - would stay there again in a heartbeat. OH... and you absolutely MUST try the restaurant Nobu. Make sure you make a reservation!

The Good War and the Workers: World War II Defense Contracts Raised Labor Standards. Government Could Use the Same Leverage in Peacetime
Fraser, Steve, The American Prospect
The era of Franklin D. Roosevelt transformed the power of workers to achieve a better life. The New Deal facilitated the mass organization of the industrial working class into militant unions and also relied on the state through measures such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and Social Security. But though the New Deal of the 1930s is often remembered as the zenith of progressivism, in many ways World War II marked the high point of this collaboration. Ironically, the war's strengthened military-industrial complex also proved its undoing.
Deficit spending required by war mobilization rapidly produced full employment. The nation's gross national product soared from $91 billion in 1939 to $166 billion in 1945. The military and civilian sectors together saw the creation of 17 million new jobs, mainly high-wage positions in new industries powered by new plants, equipment, and technologies. It was the egalitarian nature and consequences of that growth, however, that was most striking. Progressive-minded public officials and representatives of the labor movement honeycombed newly created agencies charged with manpower mobilization and labor relations, price stabilization, and conversion to military production.
The National War Labor Board (NWLB), for example, consisted of equal numbers of representatives of labor, business, and the public. Because labor exercised substantial political muscle and because the public members of the board wanted to insure continuous production, the board usually supported unionization. In return for a "no strike" pledge from the labor movement for the duration of the war, the board established a principle of "maintenance of membership." Essentially this meant that the millions of new workers flooding into war industries would almost automatically become union members. It also encouraged new organizing efforts both in war industries and at firms producing civilian goods. Membership in trade unions grew from 9 million to 15 million by the end of the 1940s.
Organizers openly circulated membership cards on the factory floor during working hours and unions won nine out of 10 National Labor Relations Board elections. When Sewell Avery, the right-wing head of Montgomery Ward, refused to comply with NWLB rulings, he was hauled out of his office by uniformed soldiers. Rulings by the National Labor Relations Board, backed by Attorney General Francis Biddle, consistently found that corporations engaging in unfair labor practices were not eligible for government contracts.
Spectacular union growth was decisive in eliminating the gross inequalities characteristic of the old order. Under the NWLB regime, regional wage differentials narrowed considerably, particularly in the South. Vacation pay and sick leave became commonplace. Grievance procedures and seniority rules mandated by the NWLB extended the rule of law to an industrial terrain once governed by the whims of management. Two million women joined the labor movement. In a landmark ruling against General Motors in 1942, the NWLB mandated equal pay for equal work. At least for some African Americans and white women, that principle became a reality.
All of this tended to compress the income hierarchy by raising up those at the bottom, making the decade of the 1940s the most economically egalitarian of the 20th century. The Fair Employment Practices Commission (created by FDR to ward off a threatened March on Washington in 1941 led by A. Phillip Randolph to demand war jobs for African Americans) outlawed discrimination in defense-industry hiring. Outside political pressure, plus the government's enhanced leverage as a dispenser of military contracts, meant that open racism would no longer be tolerated.
So when Gerald Tuttle, head of the Vultee Corporation who announced that "it is not the policy of this company to employ people not of the Caucasian race," or executives of North American Aviation, a major maker of warplanes, let it be known that the company's new plant in Fairfield, Kansas, would not employ Negroes, the government insisted that they change their policies or lose war production contracts. …

I was writing up the section on Roller cam brakes in Wikipedia and while looking for a good picture I ran across a thing called a "toggle cam" brake. I've never seen one - and Sheldon makes no mention - but from the few pics it looks like a one-sided roller cam design with a slaved arm (how?).
Anyone know how these operate? How common they were? Good or bad?
I also found a reference to a "sabre cam" design. I believe the front brake on this bike (click on the thumb of the front brake for a pic) is a sabre cam. Anyone know anything about them?

Ok...getting very excited about the caffenol! I think they will love doing this.

Ok...getting very excited about the caffenol! I think they will love doing this.
Valerie- Don't get too excited, or we'll have to suggest de-caffenol for you... :D
Ha!! That's right! It has to be caffeinated instant coffee for Caffenol-C to work. Don't be tasting the chems!
Valerie, Digital Truth has an easy version of Caffenol-C (ie US version in teaspoons and oz) below, I think your students will have a ball learning about such an organic developer, that is green no less, which students are pretty attuned with, then when I was in school...
Caffenol sounds really cool (I haven't mixed my own yet), but if I were in a photo class I think it would be really cool to see the image come out in a developer that I made from a few items.
By the way, if you want to show the differences in developers I would try a paper developer (ex. Dektol), much larger grain as compared to a lot of traditional film developers. Have fun!
I'd suggest Rodinal for the careful students, as they would see the different results from agitation and dilution quite clearly.
Alternatively, diluted print-developer (whatever you use in the lab) would certainly give a different 'look'.
Diafine might surprise them, and you can perhaps use a step-wedge or densitometer to demonstrate the actual difference in the scene-to-film tones.
And Caffenol, simply because it is so unusual for students who have possibly always thought film-photography requires a PhD in chemistry!
Which couple to choose might depend on the individual student, and on covering all the options between the group for discussion later. It might also be an idea to get the group to mix their own fixer from 'ordinary stuff' they (or you) have bought from the swimming-pool supplies shop, as sodium thiosulphate (old traditional fixer) is used for some sort of chlorine reducing purpose apparently. Have fun!
BTW, to all that suggested caffenol-- I have caffenol-developed negs drying now! I think this will be a great part to the "developers" lesson!

Cathedral of the Holy Spirit
The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, alternatively known as the St. Esprit Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Santo Spirito or Cattedrale dello Spirito Santo), located on Cumhuriyet Avenue, 205/B, in the quarter of Pangaltı in Şişli district, the former Harbiye, between Taksim Square and Nişantaşı, is one of the principal Catholic churches in Istanbul, Turkey.
It is the second largest Roman Catholic church in the city after the Basilica of S. Antonio di Padova on İstiklal Avenue in Beyoğlu.
The church was built in Baroque style in 1846 under the direction of the Swiss-Italian architect Giuseppe Fossati and his colleague Julien Hillereau.
St. Esprit has been a destination of several papal visits to Turkey, including those of Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.
A statue of Pope Benedict XV stands in the courtyard of the cathedral.
Giuseppe Donizetti, a musician at the court of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, is buried in the vaults of the church.

While the blue crab is the most bountiful crustacean in Maryland's waters, the Chesapeake Bay is also home to lobster. Celebrate the prized shellfish by cracking some claws in your own backyard.
Lobster is at once a simple and spectacular feast. With the right tools, a classic lobster steam is remarkably easy to set up and clean up, making it the perfect casual summer party. We have all the supplies necessary to please a crowd, from table linens inspired by classic newsprint and summery serving pieces to all the fun accessories like picks, warmers, crackers and bibs. They are all the decoration you need to accompany the vibrant colors, textures and tastes of lobster, steamers and side dishes. Pottery Barn Style Expert Brian Andriola shows you how to put on a lobster steam right in your backyard for a party that will have your friends talking for summers to come.
Setting Up
With different serving bowls for drawn butter and cracked shells, plus separate serving pieces for side dishes and condiments, this is an event that requires an ample outdoor table where lots of friends can gather — and plenty of plates can be passed. Try to place each guest at a table big enough to hold a little of everything, and still seat everyone comfortably.
A lobster steam is an event that's made for the outdoors, so, if possible, use a steamer that's made for cooking outside. It not only keeps the mess out of your kitchen, it adds to the great spectacle of cooking live lobster. We love the Crawfish Steamer made by Louisiana Crawfish Co. — www.lacrawfish.com. If you don't have access to an outdoor steamer, you can also use a large pot for a stovetop steam and simply bring your steamed lobster outside when it's ready.
Next to your steamer or stovetop pot, be sure to have the following tools at the ready: potholders, colanders, serving trays and bar towels. A good pair of tongs or or grilling mits allow you to reach right into the pot to pull out each lobster. Large colanders will be of help when you're ready to plunge steamed lobster into an ice bath. And small colanders or our Ceramic Strainers are perfect for serving.
Keep plenty of Bar Towels on hand because where there's steam, there's bound to be water, and you'll want to keep your prep area clean.
While somewhat silly in appearance, Lobster Bibs are important for keeping guests' clothing clean — and they add to the fun ritual of participating in an authentic lobster steam. Hand them to guests as they arrive as a fun way to set a casual mood.

Garlic a Tamasika food with health benefits:
Garlic has Rasayana properties – It means, if you take it for long period of time, it has anti aging effects on your health. But garlic is a Tamasik food. Tamas means darkness. It means that it is not suitable for those seeking celibacy and spiritual success.
However, if you have any disease, the concept of Tamasik food does not apply to you.
The benefits of garlic outweigh its Tamasik side effects. Unless you are a very serious spiritual seeker, you may continue enjoying immense health benefits of garlic.
How to consume garlic?
For those who can tolerate its offensive smell and taste, they can remove the skin of garlic pearls and consume it readily, after food in the morning.
People with Pitta imbalance can fry garlic in ghee or boil 1 – 2 garlic pearls in milk and then consume it.
For regular use, best method is to use it as part of ingredients to prepare food items.
Its extracts are also available in the market.
Ayurvedic medicines with Lahsun as ingredient:
Lashunadi Vati – used in diarrhoea, dyspepsia and such other stomach and intestine related diseases.
Rasonadi Kashayam – used in Ayurvedic treatment of bloating, vomitting, nausea, cough etc
Lashunadi Ghrita – Herbal ghee used in abdominal disorders, neurological conditions, etc
Vettumaran Gulika – used in Ayurvedic treatment of fever, vomiting, abdominal colic pain
How to use garlic for cold?
Q: Kindly advise suitably about the use of garlic in case of cold. Is it proper to swallow two three cloves with water or it can also be baked in ghee.
Answer: Dear sir, during cold, it is best to swallow 2 garlic pearls or make a paste of garlic pearl, to it, add a pinch of each of turmeric powder and black pepper powder and have it with water. This will be more effective in cold, than frying it in ghee.

Customer Reviews
April 2014
Going on a Wednesday morning was great--tour ended up being a private one! Tour guide said sometimes he has 20 ppl in a group, so this was great! I also accidentally forgot to schedule the pick-up 24hrs ahead of time, so when we had our hotel call and make the arrangements at 8am, they were picking us up from the hotel at 9am. It was great they were still able to service us with such short notice.
We also had Pedro as a tour guide---his English was pretty good and he was a pretty funny tour guide and gave us a local's perspective on things too. Very much recommend this tour, especially if you get lucky enough to have a very small group!
September 2015
It was nice city tour!
December 2013
This tour should be three hours and they only do for two hours and they did not bring us to the shopping stores . They did not bring us to see the church but they took us to see a temple. May be because they only have two of us but that should not be the reason for not doing it completely. The guide is OK with good English.
November 2012
It was not a city tour. We were only taken to a buddhist temple and a mosque. The landmark of the 3 frontiers is nice to see but there is nothing else there. Before the tour ended, we were brought to a restaurant by the river but lunch was not included. The airconditioning of the van was broken.

Minford 19, Piketon 14: It took an onside kick and a touchdown with barely a minute left, but Piketon was dealt its first loss of the season by Minford Friday.
"It was a great atmosphere, kind of a playoff atmosphere," Piketon coach Tyler Gullion said. "It was a tough (loss) to take. We expected to win this one."
The Redstreaks were on the right road, up until late in the game. Minford scored with 1:38 to go to make it 14-13, and the Falcons then converted an onside kick on Piketon's side of the field. About 30 seconds later, the Falcons hooked up on a touchdown pass to lock up the win.
"We were there," Gullion said. "It's not like it was an easy play, but the kid threw a nice ball - nice throw, nice catch. They basically took the opportunity that they had."
Piketon's ground game didn't do much against Minford, with Stephen Royster leading the way with 55 yards on 11 carries. Quarterback Isaac Brabson added 47 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
"They pretty much took (the running game) away from us," Gullion said. "They did some things against us that really surprised us, but we took what they were giving us, which was the short passing game."
Brabson finished 21-for-32 through the air for 202 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Evan Ferguson caught seven passes for 78 yards.
"We're going to feel bad about this one tonight, but when we come in tomorrow we have to go back to work," Gullion said. "We've got Westfall coming in next week."
Western Brown 56, Waverly 8: The Tigers lost for the third straight week as Western Brown jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
Waverly's only touchdown came with six minutes to go in the fourth, when Amin Gilbert plunged in from two yards out. Other than that, it was all Broncos.
Western Brown broke through late in the first quarter when Christian Dawson converted a 33-yard pass from Devin Wood for a touchdown. By the end of the first half, the Broncos' lead was up to 23-0, and on its way to more.
"It wasn't the kids' effort, it wasn't preparation and it wasn't the game plan," Tigers coach Rusty Wright said. "We just did not match up well against them. You can't coach speed. We had our fastest kids on their fastest kids, and they just ran right by us."
Individually, Gilbert finished with 104 yards on 15 carries, and Devon Rigsby added 34 yards on four carries. Trevon Bolin-Hitchens finished 6-for-12 through the air for 36 yards, with Dillon Murray finishing with two catches for 18 yards.
Waverly (0-3) will travel to Albany Alexander next Friday.
Zane Trace 17, McClain 12: The Pioneers got on pace early, scoring 10 of their 17 points in the first quarter to crack into the win column for the first time in 2012.
Despite falling behind 6-0 less than two minutes into the game, Zane Trace answered on its first offensive possession with a 33-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Hinty to Nate Mettler that gave the Pioneers a 7-6 lead, which improved to 10-6 with a 40-yard Corbin Smith field goal near the end of the quarter.
That lead held through until nearly the half, when McClain got a 6-yard rushing touchdown to jump ahead 12-10 into the break.
The Pioneer's offense took the lead for good in the third on a 35-yard touchdown run from Dylann Skaggs, while the defense preserved it with a late stand inside their own fifteen with under a minute to go in the fourth.
Collin Swackhammer led the team in rushing with 18 carries for 68 yards, while Hinty finished 6-of-11 passing with 66 yards and a touchdown.
Truman Love and Jayden Everidge each had 11 tackles on defense, while Hunter Hardman added nine.
Zane Trace (1-2) will travel to Paint Valley on Friday.
