DETROIT(TheStreet) -- Ford (F) shares were falling Wednesday after the automaker said 2014 pretax profit will decline from their levels this year, one of the best in the company's recent history, as Ford positions itself for future growth by introducing new products.
Shares were down $1.08, or 6.5%, to $15.62 on Wednesday.
During a conference call with analysts and media, Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks said 2014 pretax profit will be between $7 billion and $8 billion, down from about $8.5 billion this year. He said the principal cause will be lower profit in North America due to the rollout of 16 new vehicles during the coming year. The introductions will put Ford in a strong position for 2015, he noted.
"We've had four very strong years of financial results," Shanks said. "We're going to have an increase in global market share this year that's quite meaningful. We do expect coming out of '14 that we will see improving results and improving volume."
Shanks said 2014 will mark the best or second best year for Ford in the past 10 years. But he noted: "Our business is not linear, I've said this over and over again." Spending on new products during the recession enabled Ford to continue growing, he said.
"We are committed to be a much bigger player in the business," he said. "Thats exactly what were doing now -- we're investing in the business everywhere. We have a lot of investments. They will effect, particularly in North America, volume."
In 2014, he said, product rollouts will mean reduced volume in some cases and the need for higher incentives on vehicle models that are being closed out. Also, Ford will confront production capacity limitations during the year.
"We're projecting a growing industry next year (but) there are certain vehicle lines we probably will be building everything we can," Shanks said.
Shanks said the product introductions will come more heavily in the second half of the year. Capital expenditure in 2014 will be $7.5 billion, up substantially from 2013.
Globally, Ford said it expects 2014 losses in Europe to narrow, equal results in South America but with risk in Venezuela and Argentina, and similar pretax profit in Asia Pacific.
"Europe is very much about growth and about getting more out of the business top line than we have in the past," Shanks said. "We fully expect to be profitable in Europe in 2015," he said.
In Asia Pacific, Ford will pay a price for growth in 2014. "We have grown so much in Asia Pacific over the last several years; it's been quite strong," Shanks said. "As we move into next year we expect still to grow in Asia Pacific (but) you will see rising costs. You will see an improvement in the top line, you just won't see the same rate next year as you see this year."
A change for Ford in 2014 will be that it will begin to separately report Middle East and Africa results.

Recently there have been rumors that Louis Vuitton may be discontinuing the use of canvas for their handbags and some other (smaller) goods. The reasoning behind this is simple: to make their bags appear more luxurious. Seeing that Chanel and Hermes are currently ruling the high-class luxury market, LVMH, Louis Vuitton's parent company, wants a piece of the profit. But the catch is that both Chanel and Hermes make a majority of their bags out of leather. Although canvas from Louis Vuitton is very durable, it isn't as luxurious as fine Italian leather, hence the transition. However, in my opinion, this is extremely unlikely.
I say that the discontinuation of canvas for their handbags (and hence this rumor) is false because it is what makes Louis Vuitton- Louis Vuitton. The canvas has too much history in the brand for it to be discontinued from its handbags. In addition, the Neverfull and Speedy, both canvas bags, are Louis Vuitton's best selling handbags. To discontinue the creation of those bags in the canvas material would almost be sudden death for the brand. LVMH is a smart company, and they fully understand what Louis Vuitton canvas is worth. If they want to compete with Hermes and Chanel, their best bet is to use Fendi or Dior to tackle that challenge. So don't worry- Louis Vuitton canvas bags are likely to stay in production for a very long time.
And Remember- Always Stay Inspired

Alan Sugar has not ruled out standing for Mayor of London in 2012. The Amstrad chairman and star of The Apprentice speaks to Vanessa Feltz on BBC London 94.9. A Labour Party supporter, he has been called into the office by Gordon Brown on a number of occasions to advise on business issues. Labour's biggest individual cash donation in 2001 was £200,000 from Sir Alan Sugar.
We know though that he is no advocate for equality with some of the questions that he asks of candidates. Katie Hopkins, was questioned whether she would be able to cope with a job at Amstrad when she had two young children at home in Devon. Hopkins left the show and the TUC said that the Apprentice was sending the wrong signals to employers over the hiring of female staff.
Regardless of what I think about his ethics or his ability to run London, he does have a knack for running a successful business although it is dwindling a bit at the moment. He does have a good team with Margaret and Nick the voices of reason. Boris won not for his politics but the celebrity status and perhaps Alan Sugar would be able to do the same. He is perhaps one of the only suspects who could actually point the finger at Boris and get to say 'You're Fired'.
The fact is that people might say that Alan Sugar is not a serious contender but he has been a life long Labour Party supporter and member and we may start to see another side to him when he gets to discuss real politics. However, with his draconian views on working Mothers and women in the workplace which are bound to be transferred over into the political sphere, I very much doubt he will have my backing.
The Londonist comments. See The Independant 22 March 2008, The Evening Shamstard reports 'Sir Alan Sugar lined up to keep out Ken Livingstone'

- A One Day Workshop-
In previous incarnations you were initiated into Temple Life as High Priests and Priestesses. During your lifetimes in Atlantis and Ancient Egypt you worked through an alchemical process of spiritual growth and ascension to be of service to the light. It is now time to reinstate your purpose as a light worker through initiation once more.
Today you will be reinitiated into the Temple to once again resume your work serving the Gods and Goddesses with whom you have contracted to work at this time on planet earth.
By receiving and partaking of ritual in this initiation, you will take your role in humanity's ascension to a higher level of consciousness. You will commit to fulfil your contract with the blessings and assistance of the Gods and Goddesses with whom you agreed to serve. Like the phoenix you will rise again and soar!
During this workshop your vibratory levels will be first assessed and then recalibrated to provide greater clarity and understanding of purpose. Through initiation you will reclaim the consciousness of the Gods and Goddesses living within you to facilitate greater understanding and resonance of their relevance and application in your journey of ascension and thus your life of service.
You have been chosen for this workshop because it is time NOW to resume your status as High Priests and Priestesses once more.
This workshop is intended for those ready and willing to answer the call of Temple Life, just as you have done before.
It is for you now to decide if you are ready and willing to answer this call. While it is understood that you worked in the Priesthood in many lifetimes, the focus of this workshop is your Atlantean and Egyptian ones.

It's all the rage in children's bedroom all across the country-- wall letters that spell out the child's name or their monogram. This hot trend, which began showing up in upscale stores and boutiques a few years ago, is so rampant that now even discount stores are selling wall letters. The best wall letters that I have seen are hand painted letters-- and there are many eBay businesses that revolve around peddling hand painted wall letter designs at close to ten dollars a letter (some charge even more than that).
If you are crafty in the least bit, then making wall letters for your children's rooms is definitely a task that you can handle. You may even be able to turn this newfound hobby into a lucrative business venture or, at the very least, you can create gorgeous, custom letters that you can give as gifts or sell at craft fairs.
Supplies. Starting your hand painted wall letter hobby won't be difficult. The most important supply you will need, of course, is the letters. Craft stores sell unpainted wood wall letters in all sizes and the average cost can be under a couple of dollars per letter. Cash in on one of the craft store's weekly discount coupons and you can get them even cheaper. Discount stores like Target, Kmart and Walmart usually sell plain white letters. Depending on the sizes you need, you can stock up on a bulk supply of letters in a variety of fonts.
The next most important supply you will need is acrylic paint. Once again, craft stores are the place to go for inexpensive acrylics-- a small bottle cost less than one dollar and it will take you a long way. Buy a wide variety of colors and of course some white paint to lighten up other colors if needed. You should also stock up on some good quality brushes in a few different brush widths-- this is not the time to use your kid's watercolor paintbrushes! Finally, you will want to buy some sealant protectant to apply to the letters after the acrylic paint has dried--this will seal the letters and keep them looking like new for many years.
Painting Ideas. There are many great suggestions for how to paint your letters. My son has blue gingham painted letters in his room and they look adorable. My daughter's wall letters are more of a mixed set. Check out popular children's decorating catalogs and their online websites for ideas for colors and patterns. Many professional letter painters mimic the designs of popular children's bedding and room decor lines lines. While there may be copyright issues regarding this practice (I'm not sure what the guidelines are, as I'm not a legal professional), you can easily design your letters to coordinate nicely with these popular designs by using coordinating colors, etc. For instance, if your daughter has a pink and green floral bedding set, paint the letters with similar colors. You can also make each letter different-- as in you can paint a pink gingham letter, a green floral letter, a pink and green polka dotted letter, etc. When grouped together as a set these different designs will look great together and will match any bedding design nicely.
The most popular room themes for girls include princesses, flowers, butterflies, hearts and stars. For boys, some of the most popular room themes include dinosaurs, airplanes, trains, race cars, camouflage, and solar system.
If you're nervous about painting freehand, practice on paper first. You can also use stencils for some designs, although I prefer the imperfections of a hand painted letter. Plaids, flowers, stripes, swirly lines and star designs are all good choices to make each letter unique.
You can also add hooks or ribbons for hanging the letters. Some letters will come with wall hooks already attached on the back. If not, the wall hooks are very inexpensive and can easily be mounted onto the backs. Decorative ribbons are a nice touch, especially for a girl's room.
And don't forget this important step: after the acrylic paint dries, apply a coat or two of glossy or flat sealant to protect the letters from fading. The sealant will give your letters a finished look and protect them for years to come.

Hi Jon,
That basically looks OK. However, there is some debate about whether 8vb is an appropriate indication on "engraved" music. Some sources say the more correct designation is 8va bassa (I suppose to clarify the composer's intent for those who have never seen 8vb).
It is very common to "after pedal" a given note, so moving the Ped. designation slightly to the right of the PP would be appropriate and help the music look a little less "stacked" .
However, my main concern would be that, since the cluster is stemmed together as a single unit, it is unclear whether you wish the entire cluster to be played an octave lower, or you intend the cluster to extend down an additional octave than what is written. My assumption would be the former, but I'm guessing you intend the latter.
The only thing I would change in your example is to put the dynamic marking above the staff; in other words, between the two staves of the piano part. This would be a more standard placement.
I have no problem with "8vb" personally. Some publishers prefer "8va bassa" but I find it too cumbersome. It comes down to personal preference here.
And I have to respectfully disagree with DarwinKopp on one thing, in that it looks to me like you intend the entire cluster to be played an octave lower. If they were normal notes with "8vb" written below, we would assume that the "8vb" applied to all the notes. I don't see why that rule wouldn't also apply to a cluster.

"It's easier to be a composer than it is to compose."
--Ray Luke (1928-2010)
Hi again Jon,
I'm glad to read that the entire structure is to be played down an octave, as I had indicated that is how I would have interpreted it, I just wasn't sure that's what you meant, which is why I asked.
Cluster notation is not very standardized, and any number of approaches, even homemade ones, can serve equally well.
However, cluster structures can be thought to have a notational hierarchy:
The most explicit method is to write out every note to be included, which is probably most useful for smaller things, usually less than an octave in span; otherwise, the structure is visually overwhelming and decidedly superfluous.
Your method is actually about as close to a standard as I have seen, and what you've done is exactly right...indicate the outer tones, and bar between them with a solid line (though the line is perhaps twice as thick as need be). You might also consider adding a sharp or natural above the structure if you want only white or black keys intervening. Having neither symbol sort of defaults to "all keys", black and white, are to be played.
A less exacting indication is simply a stemmed, closed bar (for quarter notes or less) or open bar (for half notes and greater) in the approximate range of the cluster, again with a sharp or natural above if the notes are to be only one or the other. (I prefer this method for large clusters.)
The least exacting approach is to indicate some sort of slash rhythm with the word "clusters" above (and maybe include a descriptor like "big", "medium", "tiny", etc, if that's what you want), and have the slash rhythm only generally indicate a high or low area or something in between. This final method give the most freedom to the performer as to the cluster's location and span, while still retaining most of the relevant compositional control, i.e. rhythm, dynamics, duration, etc. I think the case could be reasonably made that the actual pitches of a cluster, particularly a large one, are not all that important.
hey Jon,
A few very quick questions for you, which may help you:
1. The 8vb (which does seem fine to me as an indication in notation), applies for the A or the G# as well? It is something that i would ask as a pianist. You need the whole cluster an octave lower, or only the bass note (thus extending the cluster a full octave down?) -> Ok, this's been answered previously...
2. Why not extend the 8vb sign with the dotted line throughout the length of the cluster? This is what confused me in 1. If I get an 8va sign with the dotted line for 3 bars, I transfer the whole 3 bars and the staff one octave higher. If I see 1 single 8va, I only transfer the 1 note it stands above. Not sure what is the 'officially' correct sign though.
3. This is the 1 staff only. If the other hand plays nothing (If I read you correctly, cause I'm in a hurry), then just put the dynamic between the two staves, maybe towards the left hand. If you have other things playing, I would either put different dynamics between the staves, towards each staff respectively, or, indeed, bellow, as it is now, but as close to the staff as possible; thus on the left of the cluster, to not get lots of space.
4. The cluster, btw, is chromatic? I usually place a small natural and a sharp above any cluster to indicate that I want a chromatic cluster (black and white keys). If I want only white, I put the natural, and if I want only black, well, I write the notes!
5. In such a low dynamic and wide cluster, is it that important to have the exact pitches on the top and bottom of the cluster? I know that it can be heard but maybe something more free... might work better and save you the 8vb sign alltogether. Just a small note, a black sign, something, to indicate you're going for a cluster and let the performer choose their way.
Some ideas perhaps?
Lots of good questions and ideas here. The only thing I would add is that I think dynamic markings are always a good candidate for moving to a less cluttered area. I would probably move the pp up and to the left, perhaps even place it directly to the left of the low A if that helped get rid of the ugly "expression stack."

KV to pay Hologic $60 million to settle Makena drug dispute
KV Pharmaceutical has agreed to pay Bedford, Mass.-based drug firm Hologic Inc. $60 million to settle a dispute over rights to the premature-birth drug Makena, which Hologic sold to KV.
When KV filed for bankruptcy Aug. 4, it failed to make a $95 million payment it owed Hologic, which developed the drug. KV agreed to pay Hologic (Nasdaq: HOLX) close to $200 million for "orphan drug" status and to exclusively sell the branded drug for seven years.
Hologic claimed that the value of its interests in the Makena assets were subject to decline and that such interests were not adequately protected, according to a filing Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hologic had filed a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case asserting a claim against KV for $95 million plus certain royalties allegedly owed to Hologic under the asset purchase agreement.
Consummation of the settlement agreement is dependent on KV and its subsidiaries obtaining a debtor in possession (DIP) financing facility and Hologic being paid in full on or prior to Dec. 31. If the bankruptcy court approves the settlement agreement and the DIP facility, and Hologic is paid, all of Hologic's claims against KV and its subsidiaries, and all of the KV and its subsidiaries' claims against Hologic, will be released.
Bridgeton-based KV Pharmaceutical (OTCQB: KVPHA/KVPHB) reported a net loss of $102 million on revenue of $23 million for its fiscal year ended March 31.

Maddening isn't it?Feb 14, '07If you haven't already, you can always check the CA BON website license verification page. That's how I "unofficially" found out if I had passed. They wouldn't issue a license if you didn't. But don't look at it negatively either. I was a wreck the first time I checked and it wasn't there. As of right now, everything is still "unofficial" for me until I get my license in the mail. Good Luck and think positive!!

Most of your links are broken. I don't know if this is the same nonsense I researched a couple of months ago but there was a similar rumor floating around the web back then related to the same 'firearm registration on tax returns.'
You do understand that 99% of Title 26 (Internal Revenue Code) is implemented by 27 Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR)? 27 CFR is all Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). The other 1% of Title 26 applies to Congress and federal employees.
Since the manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms is a privileged activity (not a Right), regulated by the federal government, those people and corporations engaged in those revenue taxable activities are required to return (as in 'file a return') of a portion of their income from said activity in the form of an (income) tax.
It only follows that certain questions related to firearms would be on taxpayer forms related to revenue taxable events triggered by Title 26 since 27 CFR concerns itself with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
I suspect that when you look closely at such legislation, if true, you'll find that it doesn't apply to American Nationals outside the jurisdiction of the United States (federal government).

Birthday chocolate cakeEen reactie plaatsen
september 19, 2012 door jolifedelights
This recipe has been my friends favorite of the last couple of months. For several birthdays including my own I made this quick soft chocolate cake. I was surprised how easy the recipe was and the amazingly flavoured result.
The recipe is from joyofbaking.com (definitely one of my favorite cooking/baking websites)
Chocolate cake
200 gr white flour
100 gr sugar
25 gr cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
75 gram melted butter
240 ml warm water
1 tablespoon lemon juice (preferable fresh lemon juice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
170 gr dark chocolate
170 ml cream(35% fat)
1 tablespoon butter
Well let's get started:
1. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: flower, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 2. Combine the wet ingredients: butter, water, lemon juice and vanilla.3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients into a smooth batter. 4. Grease a cake pan and put baking paper on the bottom. (I used a 24 cm round cake pan) 5. Put the pan in a pre-heated oven (170 celsius) for about 30 minutes.6. To prepare the frosting melt the chocolate au-bain marie and add the cream and butter. Keep stirring untill a dark smooth sauce. When its done, take it off the fire to let it cooldown. 7. After the chocolate cake is done and cooled down, pour the frosting on top. Leave it for a few hours untill the frosting is hard before serving.

This look at the Xbox 2 at the Register has me wonder what kinds of plans MS might have for Mac users.
The next-gen Xbox will boast three PowerPC 976 chips, each based on IBM's Power 5 architecture and fabbed at 65nm. [give or take the same processors in PowerMacs today -R]
Alongside them will be an ATI R500 graphics chip, apparently. It will support DirectX 10, which will also provide the graphics API for the next major version of Windows, 'Longhorn'.
Hrm. You know how many people try to make a big deal out of Apple perhaps releasing for x86? You know what might be a nice fringe benefit to MS from the Xbox2? That's right -- Windows on Mac hardware. MS doesn't care who's selling the hardware; only what OS they run. If MS can have Windows ready as a fallback for Mac users once they're forced into Apple's plan of "Buy or Bye!", they might find a pretty sizable audience. I've seen a number of people complain about not being able to run OS X on their boxes who have pitched to Linux, and many Linux users seem to have switched to OS X because of the superior hardware moreso than anything distinctly Mac-esque about OS X. The trend could continue.
The only issue is all those compiled applications. Two key things to remember there:
* .NET runs in a sort of virtual machine (a "common langauge runtime") like Java. Rewrite the virtual machine for the G5 and you're ready to run .NET apps on Mac hardware already.
* Microsoft owns VirtualPC now. Anything that's native can still run emulated on the G5.
I'm going to go ahead and cast my hat in the rumor ring and say that part of MS's potential anti-Apple strategy is releasing Windows for Mac hardware. They've done it, give or take, before (NT on PowerPC). Now they'll consider making a push for the client machines themselves. More conspiracy theory than something I'm confident will happen, but the pieces are all there.

Range Day
First a lovely picture of this wonderful cool front sent in by our Lord Almighty specifically to make my day on the range something special. I just know he had me in mind when he sent it. This was taken at sunset last night and you can see the bank of clouds coming in and it brought temperatures I cannot ever remember experiencing in the Middle of July before around here. If it hadn't been for my poor overworked shoulder giving me fits all night I would have slept like a baby... a very comfortably cool baby :)
With the prices of ammo still what I consider extremely high and not wanting to either mess with brass catchers on my AR's nor chase empty cases around the place I decided that today was going to be a cast bullet, straight wall case and Black Powder only day.
I took my little .357 handy rifle, a GP100 and a little beauty I picked up a few years ago but have never fired. A Thomson Center White Mountain .50 cal Hawkins Carbine. I have to say I like my firearms like I like my women. Slim, trim and Petite :)
I spent half the night running around trying to find all my stuff to shoot this little girl. It's amazing how the little odds and ends get scattered around when you haven't used em in decades. As it turned out I plum forgot to grab the cleaning end with the little wires (whatever that is called) and almost had to call it a day early because a cleaning patch got stuck down in the barrel. Luckily my step dad managed to fish it out with the wire brush end so I could keep shooting.
The first shot out of her at 50 yards went dead center but a little high. After that the next six all went inside the orange center circle but I never did get a perfect bullseye.
I upped the powder from 50 to 70 grains and put another 20 or so shots down range with the same results overall. Nothing I can complain about for a rifle I have never fired before and shooting black powder which I haven't done in decades. The whole trip probably ran me maybe $10.00 in lead and powder even after shooting off a box of .38's through the handy rifle and the GP100.
I certainly can't complain about the little carbine either. She shot pretty well and since I only paid $75.00 for her to a co-worker a few years back I think it was a pretty good investment. As it turned out there was a meeting going on of all the old retired guys from the club and I had two people offer to buy her right on the spot. All the old BP guys were convinced the little carbine would kick like a mule but to be honest I never felt a thing even at 70 grains. She was just a sweet little rifle.
edit: I should add that all shooting was done standing with no bench rest and all open sights.
Why I may even take up deer hunting again since I can go out during primitive season and avoid the crowds now.
Keep Prepping Everyone!!!

Nice sounds like a good day everybody deserves one now and againReplyDeleteReplies
Bubba - Ya it was a lot of fun. I forgot how much fun BP could be actually. I kinda got the bug to make a special shooting pouch for it once again now.Delete
That would be good enough for meat!ReplyDelete
That is a good plan be assuming you have enough caps and powder. You can recover many of your bullets and recycle them so it is a real efficient system.Replies
Sf - That's why I didn't use a rest or anything. I was looking at it as a meat gettin opportunity only. When we do enter a collapse scenario I plan on hunting exclusively with BP as the most sustainable shooting I can do. Adding a flintlock to the armory would make it even that much more sustainable.Delete
Nothing like a little boom-boom to help clear and focus one's mind. glad you had a nice day with your Dad.ReplyDeleteReplies
SD - Ya my step dad is kinda a weird bird at times but if you shoot with him he will be your best friend for life. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms and has at least one of everything I think, plus 3 M1A's :)Delete
That sounds like a good day. You needed a break, I can't remember the last time you did anything but work.ReplyDeleteReplies
Harry - Well I wouldn't say it was hard work but I always got something that has to get done. Actually I am behind now and scheduled to work the next two days plus I have some frames of honey I need to spin out. I had the boy mow the lawn today and he is really getting better at it but he has a ways to go to get it just right yet.Delete
So much to do so little time.
Hardly any such thing as a bad day at the range, thank goodness. I hunted whitetail with a .45 caliber CVA Mountain Rifle (caplock) for 15 years; loved that rifle.ReplyDeleteReplies
RP - Last year my SR556 kept jamming up on me and the scope for my .308 got all knocked out of kilter and then I got a stuck bullet in my handy rifle all on the same trip. I was not a happy camper that day.Delete
But usually yes you are correct.
Good weather and a day at the range can't be beat! Now you have me thinking I need some black powder firearms. I see that carbine comes also with a set trigger. That would be my preference. The slow lock time would be offset somewhat.ReplyDeleteReplies
MV - I am not an expert but I always thought those set trigger types were basically for target shooting only but I maybe completely mistaken. My limited experience with them also seem to be they have a bad habit of going bad as well. Anyway I didn't want one for a hunting rifle which is why I jumped on this one when the guy offered it to me. Can't beat it for 75 bucks IMO and cheap to shoot too.Delete
Sounds to me like you had a great day out at the range. $75.00 on that baby, not bad!!!
My husband loves working with black powder. He teaches the boy scouts how to use black powder and shooting the guns out at the range.
Last week we went out and fired his 30-06 for the first time since he got it for his birthday two years ago. It fired nice, can't wait to go hunting.

Villa Melnik
Struma Valley
Young but promising – Especially in their
experiments with the regional Melnik Red Wines.
Our Brilliant Boutique Aviation Winery!
Villa Melnik Winery Ltd. – The wines to remember
Villa Melnik Winery Ltd. is a family-owned company that continues a tradition of vine-growing and wine-producing with over two centuries of documented history. Our vineyards are situated in two locations in the most famous winemaking region in Bulgaria, the town of Melnik, which is known worldwide and is present in all world encyclopedias of wine. One of the vineyards, of some 20 hectars (50 acres), is in the location MINDALO of the village of Vinogradi, about four to five kilometers south from Melnik, on the hills along the left bank of the Melnishka river. Located within a kilometer, the other vineyard has an area of 10 hectars (25 acres) and is situated
in the location Beli Breg of Harsovo village, which is well-known among wine lovers and whose name is registered as a controlled appellation of origin. In the spring of 2004, Villa Melnik planted the first high quality vines of the best domestic and foreign varieties: Broad Leaved Melnik Vine, Early Melnik Vine (Melnik 55), four of the best clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, also four clones of Merlot, Syrah, and one of the oldest Thracian varieties, Mavrud. The 3 hectars (7.4 acres) planted with Mavrud are currently the only industrial plantation of this sort in the area. Over the next three years, we added more red varieties to the vineyards: the relatively new Bulgarian variety Rouen, a second clone of Syrah, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. We also planted three white varieties: the classic Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as the increasingly popular variety Viognier, in order to be able […]

Another favor
This is one of the 4 favors that we will be making one week from tonite in the Do Me A Favor workshop at ETC. If you are a local gal...there are still 4 spots left if you want to join us!
While I teach a lot of classes I also enjoy taking classes. I am looking at ETC's upcoming classes and know I will be in a class with Shelley {Ellis}, Louise {Haley} & Theresa {Bitter} and Jenny {Packard} SOON. They have some wonderful projects that I know I need to make. I am also taking an on-line class with Tim Holtz...Chemistry 101 where I am learning a lot about properties and techniques. I cannot wait to master some of these new things to incorporate them into my upcoming projects...including tags. I love learning {and sharing} new ideas and techniques just as much as the next paper crafter!
Stay tuned!

Four killed in counter-terror raid in Cambrils after Barcelona attacks
Spanish police say they have killed four terror suspects in the small coastal town of Cambrils, in a counter-terror raid linked to the Barcelona attacks.
Catalan Police confirmed the four deaths, adding that they had injured a fifth suspect during the raid.Man fights with passenger after being refused alcohol on plane
There are also reports suggesting a number of police officers were injured during the operation.
La Vanguardia also published video of apparent shots being fired in the town, and people hiding on the beach. There are also reports that the terrorists injured four or five people on the beach before being shot by police.
Officials have not clarified how the Cambrils operation is linked to the earlier attack on Las Ramblas in central Barcelona.
However, they said the shootings were linked to a suspected imminent terror attack in the coastal town.
There are also fears that attackers could be targeting various towns and cities in Catalonia that are particularly popular with tourists.
Carles Puigdemont, the Catalan president, has thanked officers involved in the counter-terror raid 'in these critical and tragic hours'.Prison told to stop feeding Muslim inmates pork after Ramadan fasts
People in Cambrils are now being asked to stay indoors, and remain patient. Emergency services say the situation in the town is 'exceptional', and have said that some roads are closed.
The small coastal town is around 120km from Barcelona, and is another popular tourist attraction on Catalonia's Costa Daurada.
At least 13 people were killed and more than 100 injured in the attack on Thursday afternoon, after a terrorist drove a van into a crowd of pedestrians on the busy street.
An explosion at a house in Alcanar, in southern Catalonia, which killed one person and injured several others was also linked to the Barcelona attacks.

Ares Airsoft sits up and pays attention
Being the proud new owner of a Mk43 which was gently used and slightly abused I was quick to begin my search for replacement parts.
First off was the boxmag. 4000 rounds of plastic spewing insanity coming at you from this thing!
North American "carriers" and European ones were contacted. One replied having one, never again to be heard from when it was time to purchase it ):
I finally found one in the UK (Wolf Armories) and they shipped it out.
Being that the original owner accidentally broke off the barrel release latch, again contacting the Ares carriers and distributors, absolutely no replies.
Out of frustration I persistently contacted Ares ( within reason) voiced the fact that their product is amazing yet people representing your product are not respecting their obligations to you as the product supplier or their customers.
After a couple of these emails "boom" like a waking giant they were on it. Every part I needed, not excluding parts not listed on their website were shipped within the week.
Note: the boxmag out of the UK was $140 landed. Local request to order for me was quoted at $180+ Ares price? Double O-ring cylinder head, ball bearing quick change spring guide, additional boxmag with faux ammo belt, barrel release lever, shipped Xpress? $130 Canadian.
I don't think I'd ever had such a awesome experiance with ordering direct from a manufacturer. Not all manufacturers will do it but I suppose I said the right things to them and it's been great.
Lesson here is don't knock a brand till you do what I've done. You may be pleasantly surprised (:

Customer service is very important cause yes the money come from the sells , but if you give sh*tty customer service the buyer will talk crap about you and give you bad rep. Happy to see Ares give some good service.

I've had the most weird results with Ares.
2 years ago, broke my stock at a game on a saturday. Sent an email to Ares the next day, wrong email account but they forwarded me to the right department. After some back and forth, got the replacement parts sorted out and paid by bank transfer. 4 days later, recieved my parts.
January this year, found out my mechbox was borked, had to order a new once since its proprietary. Sent an email to them, got a reply within a day telling me they'll be checking their warehouse for availability. Week goes by, no response, I send a follow up to see whats going on, no reply. Another week goes by, another follow up, no response. I send one last follow up, telling them that I've liked their products for the past few years but their service for parts is getting out of hand for company that uses many proprietary parts.
last week, decided to send them another follow up, someone gets back to me in 2 days telling me that the warehouse is out of the mechbox i need, and production run for those is expected in July.
First experience with spare parts was great, second, not so much. They're interesting to deal with but I really do hope that they step up their game in terms of replacement parts. I honestly do like their products, they're pretty well designed, but the support is what kills it for most people.

In reality the proprietary parts are not that bad. Decently reliable on par with other average brands. The problem really just is when something brakes its impossible to get replacements.

I wonder if Zshot had anything to do with lighting a fire under their asses and actually getting them to start distributing replacement OEM parts more widely.
If it was, then good job Zshot if you're reading this.

thats the reason i try to stay away from ares....unless they have a gun no one else makes...for example my ares tavor with mars sight.....but now S&T has a tavor and for much cheaper. I also find ares to be pretty expensive when other brands offer somewhat better prices.

Ares support
I have an Ares M4 SIR and the bolt catch broke. I emailed ares and they didn't respond for three weeks. So I send a follow up email and they respond in 2 days saying that they were having server issues but they would forward to customer service. Then no response for 9 days, so I followed up again this week. If I don't hear back in another week I will try contacting them by name. Thanks for the info.

To all of the Ares's lover above,
I'm one of the dealers that deals with the Ares distributor in Canada, and they have listened to the customer and trying to change as much as they can.
From what I heard from the local distributor in Canada, they have contacted the ASC and trying to open up an account to help all the ASC members locate their parts with ease.
At first, Ryan told them they can open up account, then later on when everything is ready and the owner of Ares Canada ready to pay and stuff, Ryan told them no, because of some stupid reason I would say!
But as a dealer, from all the story I heard from other distributors, and put every piece together, ASC are just playing games! they don't want to open up account for dealers that are in GTA, because some GTA dealers are threaten them if they let more guys from the GTA hopping on, they will withdraw their ads!
If anyone is clever enough and figure it out, NONE of the newer advertisement are from GTA....!!
This is all BULLS, when you said you trying to help out the ASC community by bringing in benefits from different directions, WHY block some dealers that willing and able to offer such service?
If anyone interested to find out more, I might ask the distributor to pass the email on to me, so I can post it up here.
For all the Ares Lover, there are people that willing to help here, but is being block by a stupide reason from ASC
And for all the Ares hater, there are people that could make your experience better, but ASC wouldn't like to help out!
And for all the mods, or owner of this forum, PLEASE do look into this problem, this is totally BULLS.....!!!

Hopefully we could take a more opened attitude towards new retailer who wants to advertise here, so members could have more choice.
I have been buying from a local retailer at prices similar to those who are having big sale here now for a while. And this retailer's application to advertise here was rejected, the reason was "this new retailer would not bring any benefit to the community".

front end of my friend's PTS ACR's gearbox (made by Ares) is cracked to shit. what are his chances of getting a replacement shell? and i do specifically mean just the shell.. the rest of the internals are garbage.
for now i hope JB weld will be strong enough to hold it together.. anyone who does have the Ares made ACR, be warned! the front of the gearbox is weak sauce, and should be reinforced with JB weld BEFORE it breaks.

If you haven't heard about her yet, I really recommend you check some of her nail designs out, they're the coolest things ever, and I'm incredibly jealous of her talent!!
I was inspired by the new China Glaze Cirque collection, by mostly, I was inspired by the Amaluna posters themselves. I really liked the mixture of colours they had going on.
For the peacock feather on my ring finger, I started with a base of A Englad Holy Grail (Old Edition), and then freehanded with my striping brush the feathers with China Glaze Running in Circles, Water You Waiting For and Sally Hansen Celeb City.
The gradient glitter was done also with Running in Circles and Water You Waiting For, as well as Sally Hansen's Hot Magenta and Rockstar Pink.
For my thumb, I used a base of Sally Hansen's Black Heart, and then just like the ring finger, freehanded the pink peacock feathers with Sally Hansen's Hot Magenta and Celeb City. The Amaluna was done with White-Out.
All in all I really enjoy how this turned out, it came out exactly like I had imagined! This was one of those designs that I actually doodled first to make sure everything worked. For my right hand, not nearly as special, I just painted each finger with a China Glaze Cirque polish.
From left to right, Running In Circles, It's a Trap-eze, Water You Waiting For, Get Carried Away, and Def Defying for my thumb. You can find out more about them here.
And on an ending note, my friends tend to make fun of the state of my hand as I'm painting, since apparently I prefer to use my hand instead of a kleenex.
Oh, and just on more picture, this is the state of my table (I'm at my parents house) when I play nails. You'll notice the mess of things and that's The West Wing playing on my laptop.
Have you ever had a design that you first sketched out and then tackled it???

Well, Its my first birthday post! I'm 20 now, adieu teenage you! I've got a HUGE list of things to do, now that my year has 'officially' started! This birthday has been...well...surprising! /dignose Cuz after a lot of tears and unhappiness, the 14th took an unexpected twist! 3 cakes to cut, the usual madness, gifts! I realized a lot of stuff this time and the year too has been quite eventful! But the hardest part about all of this was to stay the same. To preserve what the words" I "and " Me" are to me. That despite the best times, friends do fade, but then, some crazy-ass people re-ignite all that again! And its best to let the ghosts go and settle into one's memories.... Also that sometimes taking the long way homeisn't the best of approaches. You do miss out on the race that people are running around you. I mean to say that being content with what you are shouldn't stop you from trying for first place! This is something that I have learnt, the hard way, and intend to fully understand. On Love :
There is no space in my life for a guy right now and I intend to keep it that way. Why the complications!? Isn't it better to experience life alone? On your own? Without your view getting distorted?
/blur Not to mention, human beings can be downright evil to each other at times. Some scars, never fade. Why tempt fate to puncture my happy single-dom? On the the other hand, it can be a beautiful experience, but for me, it should be one of understanding, of growth, of variety, of plenty, and of longitude! I can't call changing boyfriends, love! (Also, I don't like relationship-clutter and hence, no speed-dating please!) I pride myself at having gone through these years of college this way. Its so unexpected from a girl like me, who loves dressing-up and shopping as much as she does Othello and Anna Karenina! Well, I do love breaking stereotypes! /hmm Just a few months to go, and I'll be a graduate. Today, I feel like I'm back in class 12, with everything coming to a close and A girl on the lookout for the next place to shine. The path to take next is so in the dark, but I'd like to view this as temporary darkness that'll vanish peice by peice. The way a curtain gets raised, slowly, before a performance. I maybe 20, but baby, I'm not done!

FREDERICTON – Multiple sclerosis patients in New Brunswick can now access public funding to help cover the costs of medical services outside the province — including the so-called liberation therapy — in a move that flies in the face of research that questions the treatment's efficacy.
The provincial government announced Wednesday that its fund to help MS patients seek treatment abroad was operational, following through on an election promise by Premier David Alward. About $250,000 has been budgeted for the fund this year.
Jessesar MacNeil, a spokeswoman for the MS Society of Canada, said patients who decide to seek liberation treatment should only have it done in a clinical trial setting.
"We suggest that people wait until there's a little bit more proof or that they only participate in a clinical trial," she said.
"But we support people living with MS and their treatment decisions whatever they may be, and we're happy the New Brunswick government is supporting those people."
Health Minister Madeleine Dube said the effectiveness of the treatment could be debated for some time, but there are people who need support now.
"We're not necessarily approving one treatment or another," Dube said in an interview Wednesday.
"We committed in our platform to help them financially, and that's the only thing we're doing.
"We're telling people, 'Regardless of the treatment you choose, please sit down with your doctor and get their medical advice.' But at the end of the day, people are travelling and can make their own decisions regarding their health."
Recent studies have cast doubt on whether the treatment, which involves widening constricted neck veins to improve blood flow from the brain, actually benefits patients with MS.
Only New Brunswick has gone so far as to provide funding to help people undergo liberation treatment abroad.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have committed funding for clinical trials of the treatment and Newfoundland and Labrador is conducting an observational study of patients who have sought it.
A number of provinces are also developing guidelines for doctors on how patients who travel abroad for liberation therapy should be cared for once they return.
John McLaughlin of Fredericton said he is proof the procedure works.
McLaughlin spent $10,000 in April to have the liberation treatment at a clinic in Rhode Island.
"I can see colour again, and my energy levels have improved," he said.
"I saw people in wheelchairs who can walk now … what proof do you need?"
Anywhere from 1,300 to 1,800 people in New Brunswick have MS, according to the Atlantic chapter of the MS Society.
Patients who qualify for New Brunswick's fund will be eligible for a one-time grant up to a maximum of $2,500, which must be matched by a fundraising organization or other third party.
They must provide proof they have been diagnosed with MS and that they have received treatment on or after April 1, 2011.
McLaughlin said the amount of money "is better than nothing" but doesn't address the need to have the treatment available in Canada.
MacNeil said the New Brunswick government is overlooking the greater need for a comprehensive drug plan in the province.
"We're advocating for a catastrophic drug program in New Brunswick so that people with MS can have access to the proven therapies that are available," she said.
"There are some people who are not on the treatments right now because they cost too much."
MacNeil said the drug therapies can cost between $13,000 and $31,000 per year.
Dube said her government has begun work on a catastrophic drug plan and the first phase will look at vision and dental needs. She said the plan is expected before the end of the government's mandate.

Chapter One
Life Long Loser
~~ "I am a winner." I say as I stare into the mirror. At least, I'd like to think I am, but I'm not. I'm a loser. I've always been a loser. I'll always be a loser. Life is unfair.
Let me start off by telling you a little bit about my life. When I was born, by penis wasn't visible on the outside. It was so small that you had to physically open up the space between my legs. At first, they thought I was a girl until the ultrasound proved them wrong. I was part of a set of triplets; me; my sister, Summer; and my brother Tommy. When I was about two years old, my brother Tyler was born, two years later, Evan, Kryssie was born when I was eight, and my brother Avery was born when I was twelve. We were a pretty big family, seven kids plus two parents. We fought all the time. My problem was first noticeable, to me, when I was five I wondered why Tommy, who was the same age as me, had a bigger penis. Mine was only visible once in a while, other than that it'd be resting in between my legs. Of course Tommy, Summer, and I (who were young enough to shower together) asked our parents why his was so much bigger. They'd tell us that everybody is different and special in their own way. Then I would look at my baby brother Tyler, who was about a year old, and see that his baby dick was bigger than mine. I was getting a little curious, but not jealous (after all, I was only five). When I was about thirteen, I went to an end of the year pool party thrown by a classmate. While we sat in the pool, the topic of penis size came up. Most of us had just hit puberty and were interested in sex. I had completely forgotten about my experiences with size issues. For some reason, I assumed I was normal. Most boys were saying 4 1/2 inches, 5 inches, 5 1/2 inches (all hard of course). I still regret blurting out, "Mine's 1 1/2 inches hard" The air filled with laughter from boys and girls. My face was as red as the head on my microscopic dick.
"Oh my God!" giggled one of the girls.
"You should be wearing a fucking bikini!" Shouted one of the boys as he laughed.
"You realize that no girl will ever want to have sex with you, right?" teased the prettiest, most popular girl at the time. "Ha ha, unless they're a lesbian."
When she said that, the kids went crazy. Shouting comments left and right, calling me names, bragging about how big they are. I started to weep, that got them going even harder. I jumped out of the pool, two of the boys following me and yanking my swim suit down in front of the entire grade seven class, that included my brother and sister who were hysterical with laughter yelling, "Haven't changed at all, have you J?" and "Avery is more of a man than you are!" But the worst was Summers comment, "I guess I have another sister. I was two shocked to pull them back up or run. What made it worse was, as all males know, water causes shrinkage, and for me shrinkage meant invisibility. Everyone leaped out of the pool to grab their phones and take pictures of me. From that point on, I was known as Microdick.
High school was terrible. First day, gym class. I was terrified to shower but I knew if I didn't , guys would start whispering. I tries to find one in the corner, I faced the wall. I was safe until the jock of the school, Logan Brenner, grabbed the shower beside me. He took one look and broke out in a hysterical laughter.
"What the fuck? That's your dick?" The laughter started to spread. The whole room faced me. Everyone in the room was soft, they were all in between 4 and 5 inches, which is larger than my hard-on. That pretty much ruined my high school career. Every girl made fun of me, every guy emasculated me. Even at home, my siblings old enough to understand would only call me Microdick.
Every night I would have a dream. I dreamed about a girl that went my school, Katelyn Brandivich. I dreamed that he said she'd fuck me out of pity. I'd go to her house, she'd pull down my pants and giggle. She'd tease me about it a little, but kept true to her promise, kind of. She'd pinch it between two figures, and start rubbing. Her red nail polish gleaming. My face sweating. Her light blue eyes glaring into mine. My small penis hardening. Her long blonde hair falling past her beautiful shoulders. Then, after twenty seconds, I'd cum right in her hair. Her face would turn to disgust as she'd shout for me to leave her house. I'd wake up. One day, in math class, I fell asleep. I had the dream and woke up to laughter. Katelyn, who sat right beside me, was laughing the hardest.
"Was I too much for you Microdick?" She giggled.
My face flushed when the boy in front of me said, "I guess no one has ever told you that you sleep talk."
Everyone was imitating me. "I'm sorry, Katelyn, I couldn't handle it. You're too pretty." They'd also say, "I'm sorry it's so small."
I stood up to leave, and realized that I'd jizzed all over my pants. Everyone else noticed as well. Laughter and mocking were mixed with sound of disgust. Thank god that was the final year.
I never went to college, to afraid of repeating the same humiliating events. Instead, I moved to a new town, away from the cruel atmosphere of my old city. What sucked was that I had absolutely no experience. Never had sex, never kissed a girl, never even danced with a girl. My brother, Tyler, was a ladies' man. He was fucking cute girls every night, while I'd stay home and try to jerk of for more than two minutes. My sister, Summer, also had a pretty active sex life, as a teen. She was known around the school as a classy slut. She loved the attention. She'd always tease me by saying how big the cocks are on the guys who fuck her, and how I'll never have sex with anyone. I hate her.
I ended up getting a job as a waiter at Palino's. Unfortunately, I still work there as a twenty three year old. Anyway, that's some background info on my life. The story starts when I was at work one day. An extremely hot blonde with huge tits walked in with a well built man. I took their orders and served them. I couldn't stop thinking about her tits, and how lucky that guy was to be able to fuck her. She probably only like big cocks, like most girls. I thought a little too much and came in my pants. I panicked. Without any seeing, I snuck out the back and ran across the road to a clothing store across the road. Clerk at the desk was really cute. She looked pretty young, younger than me. She had long dark, almost black, hair. Nice perky tits, a flat stomach. I prayed that she didn't see the wet stain in my pants. She did.
"Well, hello there. Problem?" She asked with a slight giggle.
I turned to walk away but she called me.
"Hey, wait come back, I was just kidding."
What she said next, I'll never forget.

First of all love the the brief introduction of the story. Very witty. I think this is a very interesting story line but I couldn't finish it :( I know Booksiesilk gets kind of goofy with paragraphs, but regardless, paragraphs are super duper important! It allows you to break your story into pieces and becomes a much more easier read. You can always go back and re-edit your writing. Let me know if you need help with this. Keep on keeping on.
Interesting start! I liked the way you gave us a quick glance at the guy's past life! Very smoothly flowing!
