Baden (German for "Baths"),[3] sometimes unofficially, to distinguish it from other Badens, called Baden bei Zürich ("Baden near Zürich")[4] or Baden im Aargau ("Baden in Aargau"),[5] is a municipality in Switzerland. It is the seat of the district of Baden in the canton of Aargau. Located 25 km (16 mi) northwest of Zürich in the Limmat Valley (Limmattal) mainly on the western side of the Limmat, its mineral hot springs have been famed since at least the Roman era. Its official language is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local Alemannic Swiss German dialect. Its population in 2010 was over 18,000.
Downtown Baden is located on the left bank of the river Limmat in its eponymous valley.[6] Its area is divided into the Kappelerhof, Allmend, Meierhof, and Chrüzliberg. In 1962, Baden also absorbed the adjacent village of Dättwil. On the right bank of the river is the village of Ennetbaden, formerly "Little Baden" (Kleine Bäder).[7] These communities, as of 2006, had an area of 13.2 km2 (5.1 sq mi). Of that, 9.9% is used for agricultural purposes, while 56.9% is forested and 31.6% is used for buildings or roads. The remainder (1.6%) is non-productive (rivers or lakes).[8]
The hot sulfur springs, which given Baden its name, lie north of downtown[6] and number about 20.[9] They vary in temperature from 98 to 126 °F (37 to 52 °C).[9]
Baden is first attested in Roman sources as Aquae Helveticae ("Waters of the Helvetii").[10] Hippocrates had counseled against the use of water from mineral springs,[11] but by the time of Vitruvius,[12] Pliny,[13] and Galen they were being selectively employed for certain ailments.[11] In addition to their medical use, the Romans also revered natural springs for recreational[14] and religious use.[15] Tacitus mentions the town obliquely, describing it as "a place built up into a semblance of a town... much used for its healthful waters".[note 1] This Roman vicus was to the north of the Baden gorge on the Haselfeld, founded to support the legionary camp at Vindonissa. There was a pool complex on the left bank of the Limmat fed by a system of springs with 47 °C (117 °F) water. The main axis of the vicus was the Vindonissa road, which ran parallel to the slope. It was flanked by porticos, beyond which lay commercial and residential buildings. The center of the settlement had some wealthy villa-like structures. The resort, residential, and commercial districts all grew to a respectable size over the first half of the 1st century. In AD 69, however, the 21st Legion burned the town amid the conflicts of the Year of the Four Emperors. Its wooden buildings destroyed, the town was rebuilt in stone. The town shrank some after the closing of the Vinonissa camp in AD 101 but survived on trade. Reginus's pottery workshop and Gemellianus's bronze works flourished during the second half of the 2nd century.[7] Around the middle of the 3rd century, however, the settlement was threatened by multiple Alemanni invasions and the Huns.[9] The pools were fortified and a large number of coins stamped with references to the hot springs show it continued to be settled and frequented into late antiquity, but expansion of the settlement of Haselfeld came to an end.[7]
The baths were frequented again by the time of Charlemagne.[9] A medieval necropolis in Kappelerhof has been dated as far back as the 7th century and a local lord fortifying the Stein by the 10th.[7] The modern name Baden is first attested in 1040.[7] Around that time, its land was held by the Lenzburgs, some of whom styled themselves as the Counts of Baden and erected a castle.[17] Upon their extinction around 1172, their domains were divided among the Hohenstaufens, Zähringens, and Kyburgs, with the Kyburgs gaining control of Baden through the marriage of Harmanns III with its heiress Richenza.[18] Around 1230, they founded the medieval city of Baden,[18] holding markets and erecting a bridge across the river in 1242.[7] Upon the death of the childless Hartman IV in 1264, his lands were seized by Rudolf von Habsburg by right of his wife Gertrude's claim. Stein Castle was held by Habsburg bailiffs and maintained the administration and archives for their surrounding territory.[7] The Confederation besieged and destroyed the castle and its records in 1415 during its conquest of Aargau.[7]
Under the Confederation, their bailiff held a castle on the right bank of the Limmat, controlling access to the bridge.[6] The Swiss Diet met at Baden repeatedly from 1426 to about 1712, making Baden a kind of capital for Switzerland.[6] The Town Hall (Rathaus) where it met is beautifully carved and can still be visited. Over the course of the 15th century, the town regained its popularity as a "Cure Resort" (Kur-Ort).[9] The town was the site of a famous debate[9] on transubstantiation from May 21 to June 18, 1526. Although Zwingli refused to attend in person, he printed broadsheets throughout its duration and sent his assistant Johann Oecolampadius to debate Johann Eck and Thomas Murner. In the end, a majority decided against the reformers but a substantial bloc emerged on their behalf as well. Johann Pistorius held a disputation in the city in 1589.[9] Stein was refortified sometime between 1658 and 1670 but the fortress was abandoned in 1712.[7] In 1714, the treaties of Rastatt and Baden ended hostilities between France and the Habsburgs, the last theater of the War of the Spanish Succession.[9] Another Treaty of Baden ended the Toggenburg War among the Protestant and Catholic Swiss cantons in 1718.[9] Baden was the capital of the canton of Baden from 1798 until 1803, when the canton of Aargau was created.[6]
In the 19th century, the waters were considered efficacious for gout and rheumatism.[6] They were frequented by Goethe, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, and particularly often by Hermann Hesse, who visited the town annually over almost thirty years. The SNB connecting Zürich to Baden was Switzerland's first railway, opening in 1847. Prior to the First World War, foreign visitors were few in number, but the summer tourist season was thought to swell the town.[6] Around the same time, an industrial quarter opened up NW of the baths.[6]
Modern excavations have discovered three of the Roman's bathing pools.[7] The municipalities of Baden and Neuenhof were considering a merger on 1 January 2012 into a new municipality which would have be known as Baden. This has been refused by a popular vote in Baden on 13 June 2010.[19][20]

In the 19th and 20th century Baden became an industrial town, main seat of the former Brown Boveri Company. Most industrial facilities have moved, but Baden is still the seat of many of the engineering services of ABB and the power service arm of Alstom. The former industrial quarter to the north of the city is now being redeveloped into offices, shopping and leisure facilities.
There is also a Casino in Baden.[27]
Coat of arms
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Argent a Pale Sable and a chief Gules.[28]
The old town, the Tagsatzung room in the city hall, the 1847 railway station and the building of the Stiftung Langmatt are listed as heritage sites of national significance.[29]
In addition to the Roman city, the ruins of castle Stein and the other sites listed above, Baden is home to a number of other Swiss Heritage Sites. The industrial sites include the ABB Schweiz archive along with the former offices of Brown Boveri Company as well as the regional former utilities plant on Haselstrasse 15. There are three designated religious buildings in Baden; the Catholic city church and Sebastians chapel, the Swiss Reformed parish church and the Synagogue on Parkstrasse 17.

Surrounding area
2 km (1.2 mi) south of Baden, on a distinct peninsula of the Limmat, is the famous Cistercian Wettingen Abbey (1227-1841), with splendid old painted glass in the cloisters and magnificent early 17th century carved stalls in the choir of the church. 8 km (5 mi) west of Baden is the small town of Brugg (9,500 inhabitants) in a fine position on the Aare, and close to the remains of the Roman colony of Vindonissa (Windisch), as well as to the monastery (founded 1310) of Königsfelden, formerly the burial-place of the early Habsburgs (the castle of Habsburg is but a short way off), still retaining much fine medieval painted glass.[6] Other areas surrounding Baden along the Limmat are Obersiggenthal (pop. 8170 in 2008), Untersiggenthal (pop. 6424 in 2008), Turgi (pop. 2879 in 2008), all of which have also seen population growth in the same 5-6% per year over the last several years.
The Volksschule Baden, the municipal public primary and secondary school, serves levels Kindergarten through Sekundarstufe I.[31]
Baden was the destination of the first railway in Switzerland, the Spanisch Brötli Bahn transporting the richer people from Zürich to the baths of Baden. Today Baden is a regular stop on the railway lines Zürich-Basel and Zürich-Bern. Baden is a stop of the S-Bahn Zürich on the line S12 and a terminal station on the line S6.
The A1 motorway tunnel Baregg is a major junction in the area. It was undergoing construction until 2004 and has been subject to controversy. In 2003, a third tunnel hole was opened to vehicles on the motorway.

Thank you.
> I'm not contradicting you theoretical explanation of things, but:
> 1) a traditional alambique/pot still is a far-from-perfect thing. And that is good, we want a tasteful drink not technical C2H5OH in our glass. (People interested in that would go for more sophisticated reflux stills)
I could not agree more. It's the "impurities" that make a fine liquor wonderful. That's why I also am a hardcore potstiller.
> 2) We have non perfect wine, that is, it is *not* a simple binary mixture. I'm making mainly natural fruit brandies.
I agree again, and I make a lot of fruit brandies. My point using the curve for a binary mixture is that while the principle would be the same, creating all the curves for all possible concentrations of all possible compounds in the wash, would mean drawing those curves in n-space, which would be hugely difficult to display or read. It would also not change the fact that for each possible mix of components there is still one unique curve that relates boiling point to the progressive change in concentrations during the still run. Essentially one combination of concentrations, one boiling point.
> So, that makes a far from perfect distillation process. If the process would adhere so well to theoretical rules, can you explain the following:
> a) Why do I get my first smelly drips sometimes starting at 65 C?
With certain washes, usually fruit washes for me, there are trace quantities of very-low-boiling-point compounds (high partial vapor pressure) that evaporate rapidly enough to be condensed at lower-than-boiling temperatures. I had this occur during recent stripping runs of fermented apple cider. I made an allusion to this kind of thing during one of our earlier discussion.
> b) Why don't we turn up the heat to the max to get everything out a.s.a.p. if boiling points and vapour temps don't change/react to power settings?
If we are doing a "stripping" run, where the goal is to concentrate all the more volatile compounds into "low wines", that is exactly how we run our stills. Then we load those low wines back into our still to perform the "spirit" run, which we do slowly, at least up until the tails, so that we do not "smear" the fractions any more than a potstill will do all by itself. By doing a spirit run, the subjective changes that we look for in the distillate come less quickly, and we can separate the fractions, make the cuts, at a more leisurely pace, but stripping runs are always flat-out runs.
> c) Why does the ABV change much more than predicted by the ABV of the wash and the connected vapour temp alone?
It's never appeared to me that it does. I have graphed some of the runs in the tiny teaching still in my book, and even with so small a still charge, and so low ABV a wash, the temperature curve is very close to flat for quite a while. Doing a spirit run in a larger still, I can go a long time at the same head temperature, to the 10th of a degree C.
> You don't have to answer these questions, they are merely rhetorical.

It's amazing how similar our backgrounds are.

How to handle it when there is no piano keyboard part to a song? This is a question many of us keyboard players face. I have realized that the vast majority of praise songs fall under two main categories. They are really either acoustic guitar driven or piano as well as keyboard driven. There is a concept of business lead line. Which is the key melodic theme that typically is presented at the very beginning of the song. If this is played by the traditional acoustic or electric guitar where do you turn as the piano as well as keyboard player? I would suggest providing them with space. Think of the lead line as the player on the hockey court with the ball. Not everyone is able to have the ball at the same time. Only 1 player at a time can be having the ball. Whenever we are all trying to have the ball or the lead part it will eventually just be an whole team fighting and you will never score or win. Most of the time that ball is passed around to be able to people in the band during the song. Most of the times it starts off with the piano or electric guitar with a lead line then it is handed off to the vocalists for the verses and chorus. Consequently if you aren't the lead instrument you require to simplify what you are playing. audio repair shop near me
There are 2 different ways to easily simplify on keys. The best way is to move to holding chords rather than playing melodic rhythms. That would look like having the chord inversions for 2 beats or maybe an entire bar depending on track and the timing of the chord changes. This can also seem like not playing at all. This is certainly dependent on the part of the song it is in and the dynamics of this instant. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do as musicians is to now play and come in strong at the right moment. This is especially true with striper players.
Another more advanced option is to play a counter melody or lead line. Consider it singing harmony to the lead vocal accept the lead vocal is the lead line the acoustic guitar plays. This is especially convenient if you simply have one guitar player.

Kinshasa - International election observers from the Carter Centre say the November 28 polls won by DR Congo President Joseph Kabila were so marred by irregularities they were not credible."The Carter Centre finds the provisional presidential election results announced by the Independent National Election Commission on December 9 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to lack credibility," the non-profit group founded by former US president Jimmy Carter said in a statement."Multiple locations... reported impossibly high rates of 99 to 100% voter turnout with all, or nearly all, votes going to incumbent President Joseph Kabila."These and other observations point to mismanagement of the results process and compromise the integrity of the presidential election."Kabila, in power since 2001, won 49% of the vote, giving him a new five-year term, according to results released by the election commission on Friday.Veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi came second with 32%. The non-profit Carter Centre said its observers gave a rating of "poor" to 40% of the compilation centres where results were tabulated.It reported irregularities including the loss of nearly 2 000 polling station results in Kinshasa, a Tshisekedi stronghold, and chaos in the counting process ranging from ballots piled on the floor and stepped on to results sheets soaked in a storm then hung on sticks to dry.It said the election commission's numbers "reveal multiple results that lack credibility", citing two compilation centres in Katanga province, a Kabila stronghold, that had turnout rates of close to 100%, with nearly all votes going to Kabila and all polling stations reporting.The European Union and other international and local observers have also cited serious problems with the vote, ranging from disorganisation at polling stations to ballot box stuffing.Meanwhile a report from London said police had arrested 143 people during an angry demonstration by up to 500 people against the re-election of Kabila.Protesters broke away from a designated demonstration area to block a major road near Prime Minister David Cameron's Downing Street office before attacking cars and shops and threatening members of the public, police said.The demonstration had begun peacefully, with a crowd of between 400 and 500 people, by police estimates, holding up placards condemning the official result of the November 28 poll, which handed victory to Kabila.Chanting and blowing whistles in the cold winter air, they declared Tshisekedi the winner and angrily condemned the sitting president.
Another dictator in Africa. He will be driven out of power but not until many people have died and a lot of money has been stolen.
Why did we have to wait until people from the USA come and tell the TRUTH? What about all these African observers that were in the DRC. We can see all over the World that DRC people do not want KABILA, why can't African leaders support the will of the people? Why can't UN condamn all the killing of innocent and unarmed civilians? Where is the International community?
So sad and seemingly hopeless...

This article does a great job explaining the important steps in Foam Roof installation. The many exceptional benefits are plainly spelled out. It fails to mention that sprayed foam is the ONLY insulation material that does not soak up water. The closed cell insulating spray foam is unique in this feature.
Insulating the 'Building Envelope' on Low Slope Roofs
by Randy Feriante, President since 1981 of Dura-Foam Roofing and Solar Center
Dura-Foam inc. roofs, using closed-cell sprayed foam have unique benefits that are not available using any other material or installation method. Placing the insulation on the absolute outer surface of the 'building envelope' creates benefits that cannot be duplicated or even approached using any other insulating or waterproofing materials or methods.
Moisture Condenses on Cold Surfaces
Moisture build-up is an unavoidable problem under nearly all roofing materials, like tar and gravel, single ply, cap sheet and IB roofing. Water vapors, mostly in the form of indoor humidity during winter, gradually migrate to the cold underside of the membrane. Water condenses on this cold surface and moisture and vapors build up in the foam boards, fiberglass, wood and fiberboard under the membrane roof. Metal fasteners that secure foam boards under a roof, get very cold, and attract water condensation. This moisture destroys the potential insulating properties of dry materials, feeds dry rot and mold and shortens the life of the structure.

R-Value can be easily understood when you know that R-1 equals the insulating value of 1″ thick wood.
Sprayed foam is rated close to R-7 in R-Value per inch. This is not affected by humidity, since the cellular structure is closed. With the very common 4×8 foam boards and fiberglass insulation, the R-Value is figured at R3.1 – to R3.6. This number represents ideal circumstances, with no humidity in the materials. With open cell insulation, it is safe to say that actual R-Values in place will always be less than the numbers R3.1 to R3.6.
IN-Gassing vs. OUT-Gassing
There is much discussion today about 'out-gassing' of plastic materials. Sprayed foam is inert and non-toxic. All concerns are eliminated when you realize that sprayed foam IN-Gasses. When closed cell sprayed foam roofing is first installed, at a temperature between 125 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the initial R-Value is about R-10. The inert, non-conducting, harmless gas inside the foam is an excellent insulator. Since the material is hot, it will cool to ambient temperature within several hours. This cooling creates a slight negative pressure inside the sprayed foam – eliminating any out-gassing concerns. Over the first several months, local air can gradually be absorbed into the foam, lowering the R-Value to about R-7. Foam sprayed in dry climates will have a final R-Value higher than foam sprayed in humid climates.
Placing the world's best insulator, that does not soak up water, on the outside of the building envelope creates a dry, durable, energy efficient barrier that cannot be approached using any other material or method. This high performing foam roofing is the only roofing material that is 'sustainable'. This means the surface coating that covers and protects the sprayed foam from damaging UV rays can be renewed when needed. During the first 30 years, our roofs are in very good condition if they get a thin coat of protective coating at 5 years.

text: Accessories Boom Online Retailers expand e-commerce offering. By Katya Foreman on August 11, 2008 Accessories remain one of the few bright spots at retail these days — and online, they're doing even better. "We've had more and more incredible sellout on shoes, for both niche and established brands," said Federico Marchetti, founder of Yoox, the online fashion retailer specializing in end-of-season collections. In light of robust jewelry sales, Yoox is considering a full jewelry launch for the end of the year, he said. "Couture costume jewelry, especially, has really taken on a form of its own, and the growth in our clutch business has been unbelievable over the past three years," added Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti, founder and chief executive officer of the niche accessories-focused catalogue and Web site Vivre. "Shoes Accessories remain one of the few bright spots at retail these days — and online, they're doing even better. "We've had more and more incredible sellout on shoes, for both niche and established brands," said Federico Marchetti, founder of Yoox, the online fashion retailer specializing in end-of-season collections. In light of robust jewelry sales, Yoox is considering a full jewelry launch for the end of the year, he said. "Couture costume jewelry, especially, has really taken on a form of its own, and the growth in our clutch business has been unbelievable over the past three years," added Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti, founder and chief executive officer of the niche accessories-focused catalogue and Web site Vivre. "Shoes are doing great, but people tend to want either the completely unexpected shoe or brands that they know will fit them well." Blame it on higher gas prices making consumers reluctant to drive, or simply a need to indulge from the comforts of home, but more and more people are turning to the Web to accessorize, with 24 percent of accessories sales in the U.S. generated online last year, up by 7 percent from 2006, according to Pamela Danziger, president of Unity Marketing. And that number is expected to grow this year. "The figures [have] come from virtually nowhere 10 years ago. It's really proving to be a reliable [shopping] source," said Danziger. According to the National Retail Federation, online sales of apparel, shoes and accessories in 2007 totaled $22.7 billion, and e-tailers have said they've seen stronger sales over the last few months even as department and specialty stores have struggled. Clothing, shoes and accessories represent the fastest-growing segment of the global online shopping industry, second only to books, according to a report by the London-based research firm Mintel. Based on Mintel's survey of more than 26,000 Internet users across the globe, the most popular apparel sites, in descending order, include eBay, L.L. Bean, Victoria's Secret and the footwear and accessories giant Zappos.com. Globally, it's the retailing Goliaths that rule the online roost for apparel and accessories sales. These include La Redoute in France and Next in the U.K., as well as large American retailers including J.C. Penney; Sears; Redcats' U.S. portfolio; The Limited, which owns Victoria's Secret, and L.L. Bean. Even fast-fashion and major designer players are leaping into the fray. Topshop in the U.K. has added e-commerce, H&M so far has sprouted e-commerce sites in Northern Europe and, since March, Mango has stormed the e-commerce scene with sites in 36 countries, offering clothing and accessories. These include Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark and the U.S. Openings in Asia will follow. "Other [categories], such as books, cosmetics and perfumes, are years ahead of accessories [on the Internet]," commented Jean Cassegrain, general director of Longchamp, one of a number of traditional European leather goods brands actively asserting their presence online. Since the launch of its U.S. e-commerce boutique in 2006, Longchamp's online business has risen by 40 to 50 percent each year. "The outlook for 2008 is also looking strong," said Cassegrain, despite the global economic downturn. Retailers cited healthy yearly increases for online accessories sales, while cautioning that a more prudent approach to online spending may begin to mirror the slowdown in stores. "Since December, we have noted a drop in the average transaction," said Vivre's Jeanbart-Lorenzotti. "We're making up for it in volume…but it's certainly not the best time in the world to be [proposing] pieces that are completely out there," she said, adding that business for her site has risen by 40 percent yearly since Vivre's launch in 2004. Successfully communicating the tactile and physical properties of an accessory on a two-dimensional page is one of the biggest challenges facing the online accessories business. "The main difficulty is with ring sizes and communicating product proportions," commented a spokesman for Mawi, the high-end British costume jewelry brand. Essential tactics for bringing to life accessories online include providing copy contextualizing product, as well as a great search engine that allows visitors to shop by designer, color and size, and giving them access to "critical decision-making product information" such as dimension, weight and material, said Larry Promisel, vice president of e-commerce for Barneys New York. "We also have a zoom and pan technology to view the stitching and texture of products." According to Danziger, the number-one complaint from women shopping for accessories online is not being able to view the interiors of purses. "Many sites also don't provide bag weight and that's critical. Those are factors that are holding back sales," she said. "Women are adapting their shopping behavior and the marketers are not adapting as quickly." "The Internet will [evolve] progressively, but it will be more about a silent revolution rather than an overnight explosion," commented Evelyne Chaballier, director of economic studies for the Parisian fashion institute IFM. So far, business generated online by a mass brand such as Mango, for example, is comparable with that of one of the brand's medium-size boutiques, she said. But the virtual rise of such players online is already changing the landscape. "The problem facing mail-order catalogues is that they have [built their success] on a strategy of promotion, and [today] the Internet harbors fierce competition," said Chaballier. "[The mail-order giants] are in decline." Lagging way behind the States, Europe's department stores are only just going virtual. Leading the way in France, Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marché introduced e-shopping sites over the past few months. In Britain, House of Fraser, John Lewis and Harvey Nichols count among recent online arrivals, with Selfridges planning its launch for summer 2009. Testing the virtual water with accessories has proven a popular strategy for a number of brands and retailers embarking online. Harvey Nichols' e-commerce site, launched in September, offers accessories, niche beauty brands and food hampers, for example. "The nonsized nature of accessories means that they are easy for consumers to buy online as gifts as well as for personal use, and do not suffer the high return rates of clothing," said Julia Bowe, marketing director of the store. Accessories both on- and off-line have experienced double-digit growth, she said, with handbags, jewelry and sunglasses proving bestsellers. "Accessories is a larger category of business, percentage-wise, online. One reason for this is that we're taking a phased approach to adding categories and designers," echoed Barneys' Promisel, adding that they have a lot of runway to grow online. "The trajectory of growth [online] has been much steeper than the increase in store sales." Balenciaga, for now, also has restricted its first e-commerce site — launched in the U.S. in May — to accessories, including bags, shoes, sunglasses, scarves and jewelry. "Logistically, it would be a huge undertaking to sell fashion online, [as well as all of the complications regarding] fit and size," said a Balenciaga spokesman. Online retailers are divided on the best formula for courting business. "In terms of share of pocket, every site on the Web is competition," commented Vivre's Jeanbart-Lorenzotti, who believes differentiating one's product offer from the big players is the best tactic for establishing a loyal customer base. "We view our approach as an edited, or curated, point of view," she said. "Anyone who approaches the Internet merely as a form of distribution and not an inherent psyche is making a mistake." "Whereas a brand's own site only offers its [own collection], for us, it's a question of 'all you can eat,'" argued a spokesman for the medium-range French shoe e-commerce site, Sarenza.com, which modeled its approach on U.S. shoe giant Zappos.com. Launched in 2005, the firm was acquired by a group of French investment funds in 2007 for an undisclosed sum. Five million euros, or about $8 million, was generated in the year running July 2006 to July 2007, with sales expected to double this year. Bestsellers on the site, which delivers to France and Belgium, are midrange brands such as Geox and Kickers, with 36-year-old females its biggest customer. Shoe sales at La Redoute, France's number-one online retailer in terms of visitors, totaled around 10 times that of any its compatriot online competitors last year, with 1.5 million pairs sold. Ballerinas and boots topped the site's bestsellers. Fifty percent of business for La Redoute, which is owned by Redcats, PPR's mass market retailing venture, is now generated by its e-commerce site, according to a spokesman, with accessories representing increasingly big business. Last year, La Redoute introduced a section dedicated to accessories, including bags, belts and legwear and shoes, which count for 700 out of 1,000 of the firm's accessories references. According to a spokesman, the move to e-commerce has allowed La Redoute to adapt to fast-fashion cycles. Ten new shoe styles are now introduced online each month, for example. In parallel, a number of traditional leather goods brands are aggressively multiplying their signature e-commerce sites. Longchamp, for example, first entered the picture in 2001 with the launch of an interactive customization site dedicated to the house's iconic Pliage bag. "It's a concept that would have been very complicated to implement in stores but that works so fluidly online," said Cassegrain of the site, which permits customers to select their bags' colors and materials. But most importantly, the site has enabled the brand to develop an online presence while mulling a long-term e-commerce strategy. Having launched its first e-boutique in the U.S. in 2006, Longchamp plans to develop e-boutiques and selective online distribution points in Europe next year, followed by Asia. "As long as distribution is controlled and it doesn't become the jungle, [the limits of the Internet] are endless. One can do beautiful things that valorize product," he said. "There is a savoir faire to selling online and for combating fraud. We now feel equipped." For Hermès, which currently counts silk accessories as its best-selling e-commerce category, with the U.S. its number-one market, online business is advancing by 50 percent each year, according to Charles-Henri Leroy, director of the brand's client relations. "It's evolving first because we're offering more product lines and openings in an increasing number of countries," he said, adding that he can even envisage the day when the brand's elusive Birkin and Kelly bags will be available to order at the click of a mouse. "The problem is that we already have delivery problems in our stores. We only have 2,000 craftsmen with two hands each and we don't want to disappoint our online customers — especially for those two lines of handbags." Hermès chose to launch its first e-commerce site in the U.S. in 2002 — long preceding its corporate site, which only launched this spring — offering mainly silk accessories and fragrances. "Our business growth in the U.S. over the past five years [has proved the Internet] a good distribution channel," Leroy said. Last year, the brand extended its e-commerce site to the U.K. and Germany, with further openings in Western Europe and Asia planned for this year. A fuller range of silk accessories has since been added online, along with watches, canvas bags, silver jewelry, leather belts and bracelets. "We're taking it step by step. Shoes will likely be added in the near future, and handbags will certainly come one day," said Leroy. "Our online sales remain a small percentage of our overall business, but are critical in terms of delivery of service to our customers," commented Philippe Schaus, senior vice president and international director of Louis Vuitton, whose core online business is generated by leather goods and accessories. The brand's top-selling categories online are handbags, wallets, clutches and luggage, in order of importance. Louis Vuitton made its commercial debut in 2000 with a Web site on its sister company's site eLuxury.com, followed by the launch of its signature e-commerce site at the end of 2005, available to French shoppers. But the past year has proved particularly active for the brand's online arm, having extended its e-shopping site to the U.S., Japan and Germany, with an opening in Italy planned for May. The site exists in eight languages, including traditional and simplified Chinese, with Italian soon to be added. In September 2007, Louis Vuitton also launched a personalization service offering to monogram initials in different colors for certain leather goods purchased online. Some experts believe that the advance of brands' own sites online will pose the biggest threat in time. "My own vision is that monobrand sites, where customers can talk directly with the brand, will be more successful than multibrand outlets," said Yoox's Marchetti. "Whereas in the off-line arena, it can be seen as time-saving to visit multibrand stores — online, the time it takes to switch sites is one second." Yoox is among a number of players taking the matter into their own hands. Since September 2006, the site manages the e-commerce sites of Marni, Emporio Armani, Diesel, C.P. Company and Stone Island. In March, Yoox bowed its men's wear-focused site, TheCorner.com, open to the States and the European Union, which hosts tailor-made corners for a multitude of high-end fashion and accessories brands, including Viktor & Rolf, Veronique Branquinho and Marc Jacobs. Stocking both apparel and accessories, the site will open in Japan this fall, with women's collections to be added within the year. Neiman Marcus Direct, meanwhile, which owns the neimanmarcus.com, berdorfgoodman.com, cusp.com and horchow.com e-commerce sites, oversees the sales and logistics for the online U.S. boutiques of 11 luxury fashion brands, including Ferragamo, David Yurman, Baccarat, Juicy Couture and Michael Kors. "It's good business. The sales come through neimanmarcus.com, therefore adding business and revenue, which equals more sales for [us]," said a Neiman Marcus spokeswoman. Rushcollection.com, a French fashion site specializing in past and present collections for niche European clothing and accessories brands, also hosts shop-in-shops for brands, including the hip labels Les Bijoux de Sophie, Maloles and Tila March. "Accessories are extremely important for the site," said a spokesman, who explained that visuals of bags and shoes are often used to lure visitors to the site, distributed by e-mail. Sophie Levy, founder of Les Bijoux de Sophie, compared her boutique on the site with having a corner in a brick-and-mortar store. "I have total control of brand image with professionals managing the logistics of the site," she said. "As with a brick-and-mortar store, there are many stages to getting product online," commented Lucy Butler, a former jewelry buyer for Harvey Nichols, who launched her jewelry site, Ljblondon.com, last fall. With many brands wary of overexposure online, having solid contacts in the business is golden for entrepreneurs seeking to bring brands online, she said. "Brands are concerned about a site's image being good enough," commented luxury French retailer Carole Benazet, who tapped the Web site guru Spill (who also designed sites for the likes of Colette, Marie-Helene de Taillac, Repossi and Marc Newson) to design her fledgling luxury accessories-focused site, Departementfeminin.com. The site offers shoes, scarves, bags and jewelry by brands such as Balenciaga, Lanvin, Alaïa, Chloé and Giuseppe Zanotti. "Brands are being canvassed by a lot of start-up online retailers, but it's too risky for them as sites can disappear overnight. The Internet is a very volatile market," commented David Allen, manager of Shadestation, a Manchester-based retailer specializing in branded eyewear and watches. With core product lines having reached a plateau, costume jewelry will be a new focus over the coming months, with DKNY and Diesel among new lines to be introduced for fall. Increasingly fragile in view of the market's circling copycats, certain independent accessories designers, meanwhile, are using the Web to their own advantages. Getting to market as rapidly as possible is vital for survival, according to Claire Chung, a former Christie's executive-turned-jewelry designer who is planning to launch her niche accessories-focused e-commerce site at the end of the year. Chung views the site as a coalition for smaller brands forced to compete, more and more, for a space in the market. "We're going to go global [with a strong marketing offensive]," she said. "[Online accessories] is an ever-growing market and it will get more competitive," noted Vivre's Jeanbart-Lorenzotti. "It will create confusion for customers as there is so much choice. But [women] are enjoying this method of shopping; it's become a way of life." To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

The now venerable textbook, founded in 1922, introduces the fundamental principles of soil science both for students whose only expose to the discipline will be the one class, and for those embarking on a career in it. It emphasizes throughout the soil as a natural resource, highlighting its interaction with other components of forest, range, agriculture, wetland, and constructed systems. Following the trend in recent editions, the 13th has grown with new graphics and topics. Previous editions are cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d. ed.. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
A textbook for both students who will take only a single course on soil science, and for those just beginning a long study of it. Also designed to be kept as a general reference. Emphasizes soil as a natural resource and highlights the many interactions between the soil and other components of the ecosystem, with examples from forest, range, agricultural, wetland, and constructed ecosystems. A venerable but often regenerated classic first published in 1922 and most recently in 1990. Highly illustrated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

I made a sub-blog
I made a sub-blog. There were three reasons: 1. I was bored and simply wanted to see if I could do it. 2. I realized I was posting an enormous amount of job/career related stuff on groupthink. I figured if it was getting people's nerves, it was better suited for another place 3. Ok, really I was just bored.

Every day, I spring out of bed at six in the morning intending to spread sweetness and light all day. And then the idiots happen.
You know the feeling. One moment you're Mother Teresa and then you're Shiva, the destroyer of worlds.
Example: Mr X (not his real name) was two hours late for dinner. When we finally started eating, he said: "This meat's overcooked."
Now, answer honestly: Would it not be totally morally justified to use the steak knife I was holding to remove this person from the human gene pool?
Lucky for me there was good news in the newspaper the following morning. Governments around the world are making it an actual crime to be an annoying person. Someone has been reading my thoughts again (probably those NSA people).
There are now 5,000 laws on annoying behavior in the US, the Wall Street Journal reported. Many are in New York municipal ordinances, which is weird, since loads of annoying people live there, including Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Tyra "Next Top Model" Banks. It's only a matter of time before someone makes a citizen's arrest. "Tyra Banks, you are under arrest for being incredibly annoying for 20 seasons." That should be good for eight-to-ten without parole.
In most Asian countries, being annoying is not illegal (which is obvious from looking at Asian leaders) except in the Philippines, where "unjustly vexatious" behavior is an offence. In most Asian countries, if people are being annoying, police stomp around waving sticks and everybody flees.
A law against being annoying in public was recently approved by the British House of Commons and sent to the House of Lords, which vetoed it. This was no surprise since Lords themselves are horribly annoying, with their castles and silly titles.
The aptly-named Lord Dear explained that there was a whole category of people who are perceived as annoying, but are actually key elements of a healthy society, such as political demonstrators, street preachers, carol singers and nudists. I reluctantly admit he's got a point there, since his list sounds remarkably like the cast of a typical dinner party at my place.
Yet rather than ditching the whole law, they should have criminalized only extreme cases of being annoying. Some folk are annoying on a global scale (Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Lance Armstrong, Miley Cyrus, Dennis Rodman et al ).
But for me, most irritating are folk who are consistently annoying in a low-level way, and thus cannot be justifiably killed with a steak knife.
One guy I know posts Facebook updates saying things like: "Sigh, here I am, back in a kid-leather armchair at the airport first class lounge, which is like a second home to me now. I would be much happier at the airport noodle shop."
And I want to scream at him in capital letters: "Well why don't you go to the airport noodle shop then instead of paying a year of my salary to fly first class?" But instead, my revenge is to scroll up without pressing "like". Take that.
Pretty pathetic but that's all we have these days.

As I noted in a previous article, American Realty Capital Properties (ARCP) is hardly the perfect triple net lease REIT. The stock has lagged the market and its peers, due a questionable equity offering at low prices and for making large acquisitions with dubious accretion to FFO. However, I still thought ARCP was worth buying due to its dirt-cheap valuation (10.50x 2014 FFO) and high dividend 8% yield. That being said, Friday's 3.50% late day surge higher came as a pleasant surprise.
ARCP Price data by YCharts
Nick Schorsch on his way out as CEO
Near the market close on June 20, ARCP announced that its long-time CEO Nick Schorsch will be stepping down and be replaced by current President David Kay starting on October 1. Mr. Kay will take over the position as CEO and manage the day-to-day operations of the company.
This change was planned well in advance, with the November hiring of Mr. Kay slated as a move towards the self-management of the company. Mr. Kay is an experienced manager, having held numerous senior positions in REITS, both public and private.
Undervalued equity offering to leave a tarnished legacy?
As shown below, this move by ARCP seems in large part to be a reaction to shareholder frustration related to the recent equity issuance. The company specifically mentioned the need to be more proactive in communicating with its shareholders. Simon Yarmak, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co., wrote the following in a report. He has a hold rating on American Realty Capital:
We believe Mr. Kay will be more proactive in talking to investors and improve the company's financial transparency as he builds out his executive team.
Many investors, including large shareholder Marcato Capital, believe that the offering price was well below ARCP's fair value, and hence dilutive to current shareholders.
Of note, Mr. Schorsch had previously mentioned that ARCP was "not comfortable" selling equity at prices as high as $14 per share. In addition, he had hinted at a more "modest" equity raise in the $600 million to $700 million range.
As a result, when ARCP announced that it was raising close to $1.7 billion by selling 138 million shares at $12 each, it left many dumbfounded by both the size of the offering and the low share price.
In its letter to ARCP, Marcato Capital stated its concerns quite clearly:
Such willingness to destroy shareholder value, by issuing shares at an acknowledged discount to fair value, illustrates a disregard for existing shareholders that we find very problematic. Furthermore, the decision to then upsize the offering by more than 20% even after being loudly criticized by shareholders on the morning call of the offering was an additional slap in the face.
Yet, ARCP's response to Marcato was quite underwhelming and left much to be desired:
ARCP welcomes open communications with its stockholders and values their input toward the shared goal of enhancing value. Our Board of Directors and management team regularly review the Company's strategic priorities and opportunities, including deleveraging, capital allocation, and assess a variety of strategic options. We are committed to driving value for all ARCP stockholders and will continue to take actions to achieve this important objective.
ARCP's acquisition spree is likely over... for now
If there was any good news coming from the equity offering debacle, it is that ARCP will likely no longer do any major deals for the rest of 2014, given that it had mostly met its $3.0 billion acquisition target.
Furthermore, ARCP has its hands full with two major pending deals including the $1.975 billion sale of the shopping center portfolio to Blackstone (NYSE:BX) and the $1.50 billion sale-leaseback transaction with Golden Gate Capital to buy 500 Red Lobster restaurant properties from Darden (NYSE:DRI).
As noted by Marcato, ARCP may be involved in too many transactions at the same time, with the company making two material disclosure errors in late May. On May 20th, in an 8-K filing with the Pro Forma, first quarter results showed an inaccurate share count, requiring an amendment. On May 29th, ARCP put out an 8-K where it overstated the fees associated with the Red Lobster transaction by a factor of 10, from $10.8 million to $108 million.
It is little wonder that ARCP's stock has been languishing in recent months. The company has committed several major miscues, while confidence in Mr. Schorsch's management and leadership skills has likely never been lower. However, as shown by the market's reaction to the CEO stepping down, change is a good thing for ARCP.
At the moment, ARCP trades at a large discount to its triple net REIT peers based on both FFO multiple and dividend yield. Yet, its fundamentals (leverage, tenant diversity, tenant credit rating, etc...) are fairly similar to peers. Hopefully Mr. Kay does a better job in changing the overall market sentiment for the stock. Indeed, that is a tall order.

1. The Council House, College Green, British Restaurant
The Council House was designed in the 1930's by E.Vincent Harris and construction began in 1938 by Cowlin and son. The building was not complete when war broke out and it wasn't completed until 1952. However the basement of the building was used to house a British Restaurant during the war years. The building is of a neo-Georgian style and is constructed from muted brown Blockley Gloucester bricks. It has a symmetrical four storey façade and 36 repeating bays of sash windows. At the time of construction the two golden unicorns on the roof were criticised by the people of Bristol as a waste of money.

My Nonprofit Reviews
leesa davis
Review for Habitat for Hope, Millington, TN, USA
I began volunteering with Habitat for Hope after my son introduced me to this wonderful ministry. Having experienced a lengthy hospitalization when he was diagnosed with cancer, my heart was drawn to an opportunity to serve others whose children were suffering from life threatening diseases. One of my greatest memory was rocking a little baby boy in the NICU unit of LeBonheur hospital. Today, I love to visit with families at the hospital taking meals, praying and encouraging them. I will volunteer wherever I am needed which might be at a work day at the Millington HFH property or helping at the LUVMUD5K fundraiser. Both my son and daughter-in-law are on staff with this amazing organization. I am grateful that volunteering with HFH has become a family affair with my husband and the grandparents getting involved.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the joy i receive in serving alongside HFH. The thankfulness of the families that we serve.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
love to see the volunteer base and financial support grow.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
