BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - Orocobre Limited (TSX:ORL)(ASX:ORE) ("the Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of construction at its fully-funded Olaroz Lithium Project in northwest Argentina. A groundbreaking celebration was held to celebrate the event. On completion of construction of the US$229 million lithium project in early 2014, it will be the world's first large-scale, low cost "greenfield" brine lithium operation to have been built in nearly 20 years and will have a first-phase design production rate of 17,500 tonnes per annum of battery grade lithium carbonate.
The start of construction marks the completion of the various corporate structuring aspects of the Toyota Tsusho Corporation ("TTC") joint venture, TTC's subscription for its 25% equity in the joint venture, and the issue of an 8.5% equity interest in the project to Jujuy Energia y Mineria Sociedad del Estado ("JEMSE"). Following the previously announced completion of the detailed engineering and governmental approvals process, the project now moves into full-scale construction.
Over the next few weeks, in the normal course of post equity completion, Orocobre expects that the final project debt financing documentation will be executed by the partners on the same attractive terms as previously reported.
Background on Funding
On 17 October, 2012 the Company announced the formation of a joint venture, with TTC becoming a 25% equity participant having facilitated Mizuho Corporate Bank and JOGMEC to provide a comprehensive debt and equity funding package for construction of the Olaroz project. The cornerstones of the financing are an equity investment by TTC of approximately US$55 million and up to US$192 million of low-cost project debt. As part of this process, Orocobre entered into an agreement with JEMSE, the mining investment company owned by the provincial Government of Jujuy, whereby JEMSE holds an 8.5% equity interest in the project.
To fund an approximate US$12 million equity shortfall, and to provide a strong balance sheet to fund its Borax Argentina initiatives and working capital, on 5 November, 2012, Orocobre completed an oversubscribed A$21 million institutional placement through the issuance of 12.35 million ordinary shares to investors in Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States at an issue price of A$1.70 per share. In addition, in order to provide its existing non-institutional investors an opportunity to participate in the share offering on the same terms, the Company is undertaking a Shareholder Purchase Plan capped at A$5.0 million.
With the subscription for equity by TTC and the issue of shares to JEMSE, the project construction can commence in earnest. Over the last year, detailed engineering has been completed and the procurement process is well advanced with most construction contracts tendered. The project will be implemented using an EPCM methodology with a high degree of local content.
The first stage of construction involves establishment of water supply, camp construction and associated infrastructure plus production bores, brine pipeline and evaporation ponds. The company will keep shareholders regularly updated as construction progresses.
Managing Director and CEO, Richard Seville commented: "I'm very pleased that we have commenced full-scale construction activity at Olaroz. In an environment where so many projects are facing difficulties, reaching the fully funded construction stage is a major achievement that puts Orocobre on its way to establishing itself as a significant and low operating cost battery grade lithium carbonate supplier to the world. Our commitment to the people and environment of Jujuy will strengthen the community and provide important long-term benefits. Our joint venture partners, Toyota Tsusho and JEMSE, have been instrumental in helping Orocobre reach this important milestone."
Mr. Seville added, "Thanks to our team's advanced preparations, we are able to immediately commence construction. We now turn our full attention to the methodical execution of the construction and commissioning of our operations."
Orocobre's Chairman, James D. Calaway, stated: "The start of construction activity is a major accomplishment for everyone involved with the project. Our valued relationship with Toyota Tsusho began in early 2010, and since then we have worked as genuine partners to ensure that we meet our commitments to the people of Jujuy and to construct a long-term sustainable operation. To be at a point where we are now under construction is very satisfying to all project stakeholders."

Can she listen to her heart...
Disillusioned by love and dreading her thirtieth birthday, Amberlina Nash is determined to snag a rich man by spending the summer mingling with the country club set on Martha's Vineyard. But when Amber meets charismatic hotel manager Don Randall, she struggles to maintain her polished alter ego—and fights the possibility that what she wants and what she needs might be two different things…
When love isn't part of the plan?
Serial playboy Sheldon St. Romaine has spent the past year running one of his father's hotels to prove he has a knack for the business. To guests, he is the modest and accommodating Don Randall, whom Amber finds irresistible. But she's certain he lacks the bank account she's really after. While both are harboring secrets, neither can deny the passion that ignites between them…
Prolific author [Shirley] Hailstock delivers a thoughtful, sensual examination of people who think they can escape their hearts...Hailstock's characters and situations feel vividly real, and her portrayals of African-American professional women looking for love and security will resonate with all readers.
-- Publishers Weekly, the industry insider magazine
"Hailstock is a master storyteller whose characters linger in the heart."
--Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author
"A steamy, updated twist on the classic Marilyn Monroe film, How to Marry a Millionaire, with an exclusive setting and three ambitious young women who must ultimately choose between financial security and true love."
--Booklist (pre-pub magazine for the American Library Association)
Shirley Hailstock began her writing life as a lover of reading. She likes nothing better than to find a quiet corner where she can get lost in a book, explore new worlds and visit places she never expected to see. As an author, she can not only visit those places, but she can be the heroine of her own stories.
The author of twenty-five novels and novellas, Shirley has received numerous awards, including the Waldenbooks Bestselling Romance Award and The Emma Merritt Award from Romance Writers of America. Romantic Times Magazine awarded her a Career Achievement Award and The New York Chapter of Romance Writers of America gave her their Golden Apple Award for Lifetime Achievement. In addition, one of her books was included in the the Top 100 Romances of the 20th Century list and she is a recipient of Fairleigh Dickinson University's highest award, the Pinnacle. Shirley is a past president of Romance Writers of America. Her books have appeared on Blackboard and Library Journal Best Seller Lists.
Q: Shirley, tell us a little about how you came to write Some Like Them Rich.
Shirley: I love old movies. One of my favorites is How to Marry A Millionaire. I also wanted to write a book that was a little outside the "true" romance guidelines. Then in the mail comes my college alumni magazine and inside it is a huge ad for a trip to Martha's Vineyard. Since the island had a rich history for African-Americans, I came up with the idea of writing a How to Marry a Millionaire-African American style. In Some Like Them Rich, there are three heroines all looking for love in the one place they can find rich African American men under fifty - Martha's Vineyard.
Q: The novel takes place on Martha's Vineyard. What is your favorite passage in the book that describes the island?
Shirley: The stretch of famous beach opened up in front of us. The place was a triangle of rocky sand dwarfed by an endless ocean. It was crowded with people, families, couples, and groups of singles.
Q: You've been writing over two decades, and you've learned lessons along the way. What's the most important writing lesson you've learned?
Shirley: It's all about character. Four little words. The better you know your characters, the better the book will be. It doesn't matter what kind of story it told. The characters tell it. They are the ones who live it and making the alive and able to touch the hearts of readers is the best an author can hope for.
Q: Readers often wonder how words add up to a 300 plus page novel. What are your writing habits? Do you have a special place to work? Do you write in longhand or on the computer?
Shirley: There are thing I often do when writing, but none of them are a "must do." I use whatever time, place, and materials I have. I try to write everyday, even if it's only a paragraph. My goal is one page a day, but when I sit down to write and get into the zone (Stephen King describes this in his novel Misery as jumping into the page), I usually write more than that. My average about five to ten pages in a sitting. I begin writing in the morning, but it often spills into the afternoon. I used to work a full-time job and could only write at night. Now I can be more productive. I don't write long hand. Mainly I use a computer, but if I have to sit in a waiting room, I'm on an airplane, or at a sporting event, I write with a pen, on lined paper, in ink, in blood, whatever.
Q: Shirley, you have won numerous writing awards, served as past-president of Romance Writers of America (RWA) and you're the president of the New Jersey RWA chapter. You are a mom, a grandmother, a great cook, and have a Master's degree in Marketing. You use your time more wisely than anyone I know. Back when Bandwidth and Trey were little, you used to tell me that you had 24 hours in a day--so did I. Great advice for anyone (not just novelists). Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
Shirley: I also said it was a good thing there were only 24 hours in a day, because more hours just gives us more stuff to get done. It would mean I would get even less sleep. What I mean is we need to work with what we have. If we only have 24 hours, then we need to work within those limits.
As to advice for aspiring writers, other than the obvious one, which is write, you should read. Read everything, read books you don't like and analyze why you don't like them. The same is true for books you do like. Find out why you like it. What did that author do that made you like her book? And that you've read (and continue to read), write. Finish a book. Then write another one.

On a personal note, Shirley and I have been friends for nearly three decades. She and I used to talk on the phone about writing when our children were babies--and she's the inventor of The Hailstock Chocolate Cake Diet. If you want details, you'll have to ask Shirley!

Patch days are never straight forward. This one would have been easier if I hadn't had a brain crushing migraine for most of the day, which is great timing by my head I must say. I dragged myself out of bed at 11am, fired up the patcher and by the time I came round again at 4pm (no work for me today, throwing up behind the bar is frowned upon) it had more or less finished. So I logged on for a while.
The new loading screen is pretty
I will miss Deathwing though, I have a soft spot for dragons, even one with a Skip for a lower jaw.
Of course the first thing I did was log onto all my existing characters to get all my mounts and pets logged. I finally got enough pets to get Stinker! I adore Stinker, and as much as I'd love to be a pet collector I just don't have the patience, so this was a real bonus for me. Never mind the fawn you get at the next mile stone, amorous skunks ftw! And the Blue Drake languishing on my rarely used Belf Priest is now available to the characters I do play. I do now have 6 White kittens in my pets list, far more than any other pet.
After the squeeing about Stinker I decided to sort of Pinkamena with new talent choices. I have to say I love the new Travel form, and I took the Glyph that allows me to tame critters and have them follow me for an hour. I also took the camouflage glyph, because a girl can't just be one colour kitty all the time. Thing is, after all that, and reading up on Noxxic I still have no clue as to what I am doing. My shadow priest looks even more complicated, and I've not dared look at resto shammying yet! I am hoping once my head settles down it will be simpler.
Oh, and if anyone wants to add me, my battletag is chaotickitty#1891 and I'm on the EU servers.
P.S Nearly forgot, I now have the internet at home, so no more going to my dads to use it. G is happy about this too, but I must explain to him about 'Internet Search History'…

I took a drive yesterday to see signs of Pinot Noir flowering in the Willamette Valley, on a beautiful summer afternoon. Usually the Pinot flowers locally in the middle of June, roughly. This year, like last year, is late following a cool, damp spring. Talking with growers over the past few weeks, I heard July 4 as a target date for flowering, as it was in 2010. There were hopeful suggestions of "by July 4, for sure, definitely" to lightly desperate humor: "if not by July 4, then, um, maybe a November harvest?"
Surely not. Conventional wisdom is that harvest might begin 100 days after flowering at a given site. Longer than that you have longer "hang time," the grapes usually benefiting from extra time to develop aromas and flavors, with riper tannin and still, if the weather is cool at night, fresh acids.
Warmer sites and younger vines can ripen a bit more quickly, but 100 days is a nice estimate for thinking of the arc of the growing season. One hundreds days from July 4 is October 12. Last year, I picked from October 8 to October 17. If flowering happens similarly this year, I think it's safe to bet we'll have a similar window for picking, later if possible if the weather holds in October, likely not too much earlier, ideally under dry conditions regardless.
Sure enough, I saw a bunch of flowering inflorescence. I first drove by a couple sites I don't work with in the northern Willamette Valley, but was curious to check out. The first site seemed maybe a third through flowering, the second perhaps half or more in the rows I saw. Exciting.
Then over Bald Peak and down to Ribbon Ridge to the Armstrong Vineyard. I was really hoping to see flowers now. I wasn't disappointed. I drove up and found grower Doug Ackerman at work at the barn and we went for a walk around the property. According to him, there were no flowers the day before, but now flowering was visible in 5 to 10% of the clusters. Surely with sunny, warm weather in store for days, flowering will be quick and even, as ideal as you could want.
Here's a cluster in the clone 667 block. Grape flowers self pollinate, so there aren't dramatic blooms or aromas in grape flowers. There is a musky fragrance if you get up really close though. You can see how some grapes have set and others haven't. An "even" set means everything will set together, so this cluster should have had more flowers by the end of the day and ideally today is in full bloom. That way, the grapes are more likely to ripen together come October.
With flowering under way in such lovely conditions, it seemed appropriate to admire the view.
And a nice moment to celebrate with the most summery of beverages, dry rose wine. Thanks Doug!

Not a real surf spot - This spot only works when the swell is huge "outside". I mean, this spot is inside the bay of Saint Jean de Luz, so very protected from the swell, and most of time there is no wave there.
It's easy to access. Just park your car in the car parking of the port of Socoa, and go to the closest beach. No reef, just sand. The only dangers (as to me) is the quality of the water if it's rainy, because a river ends on the spot, and of course the rocky pier in the middle of the wave (you can see it on the pictures)

What do You think about entering a spot with no further data?
Please give us a little hint where we find La Bougie...
Is a reef next to it?
Is saltwater there?
Can we find even a beach close-by?

When troubleshooting network connection issues on a Windows PCs, IT pros often turn to the venerable ipconfig command. This tool can be one of the quickest ways to diagnose and resolve connection problems related to TCP/IP.
Sure, you can perform the same troubleshooting tasks from the Windows GUI. But why dig through multiple menus, when you can type a few characters into a command prompt? So, I've put together this short quiz to test your knowledge of the Windows ipconfig command. I'm using Windows 7 as the basis for this quiz.Note: Unfortunately, our poll tool, which I use to create each pop quiz, doesn't let me indicate a correct answer after each question. To keep from giving away the answers before everyone has a chance to test his/her knowledge, and ruining all the fun, I've published the answers on the second page of this blog post. I encourage everyone to answer all the questions before looking at the second page or using your favorite search engine to find the answers.
Answers are on the next page.

This blog discusses current weather, weather prediction, climate issues, and other topics

A New View of Seasonal Changes
Does it warm up faster or slower here compared to the rest of the country?
What states warm up the most?
All will be revealed here!
First, take a look at March minus January mean temperatures (F), shown both in numbers and colors (thanks to Neal Johnson of the UW for putting together these graphics).
But what about the temperatures change between January and July? There we might complain a bit. The West Coast, downwind of the Pacific, only warms up by about 30-34F, and of course, subtropical Florida warms up the least (24F). But take a look at the upper Midwest...some states (MN, ND) warm up by 61F! Can you imagine sixty degrees warmer on average in July than January. No wonder they have a lot of cracked concrete there. The northeast U.S. and the central plains warm up by 45-55F---summer really means something in those climes.
And now for some good news. For the first time, in what seems like months, the NWS Climate Prediction Center 8-14 day forecast is not predicting for us to be below normal.
Just normal. Somehow the huge warm anomaly to our east takes a bit of the pleasure away from our moderating temperatures. The eastern two-thirds of the U.S. have been extraordinarily warm this winter, while a veneer of cold has hugged the West Coast. Southern California is going to be getting the brunt of weather systems starting this weekend as the jet moves south of us. More on that in another blog.
Attention Animal Lovers! King County and Missing Pet Partners are looking for volunteers for Mission Reunite. Training will take place on Saturday, March 24, from 1-3 pm at the RASKC Pet Adoption Center in Kent. For more information, you can go to this website. As someone who has lost a dog (and still looking!) I cannot exaggerate the importance of such groups. They are full of some of the most giving, altruistic folks I have met.

Hey Cliff.
I like the subject. But you could've took WA alone and had similar results like the entire U.S.. Its not really representative to average this state due to its diverse climate regions.
I don't live in Seattle, but I average some figures for the complainers. In 2008, the average temp between Jan(45.8) to March(53.8) equalling 8 degrees. Since then (2008 to present), the difference between the two months was 4.2 degrees.
While March hasn't been colder than normal, I think its just a psychological issue people have comparing weather by the seasons, mostly due to having milder winters, spring will always seem cold in the PNW.

My take on it is that, here in Seattle, we have five seasons, and we are now stuck here in Woebegone.

Dr. Mass
Once again another highly interesting blog. I do agree with smokejumper that this analysis breaking out western and eastern Washington would be especially interesting....

Could you comment on whether the jet stream is moving futher from the mean global locations lately? It seems that the warm East US and cold Europe this year were the result of a jet stream that had larger swings that lasted a long time.

Woke up with upwards 1/3 inch of snow. Almost covers the mown fields. Our south of Chehalis elevation is about 400 feet.
- March 22, 2012 at 9:39 AM
I agree with the other posters that an analysis of Western WA vs Eastern WA is in order. Same goes for coastal OR and CAL versus interior areas.
The area around the Columbia river between Vantage and Richland warms up very nicely starting this time of year!

Thanks for sharing that volunteer opportunity. I've passed it along to friends in the Kent area. Also, I'm still keeping an eye out for your dog every day, and plan to scour the neighborhood again soon.

Some of the sights around Hopkinsville, KY
|Old iron tools
It's good that the 400 Mile Yard Sale is held for 4 days. This year, it rained all day Thursday and half of Friday. But Saturday was a beautiful day of sunshine. Keely and I left her house at 8:00 AM (which is early for us on a Saturday.)
First we went to some sales around Hopkinsville. Many of them were unimpressive, but we loved the sale at the Senior Center. The parking lot and auditorium was full of tables of merchandise, and many of the vendors were ready to deal. I found a 1902 health book for just $2. (I love old textbooks.) Keely bought a rock-band poster and a hat.
|At the Senior Center in Hopkinsville
|Bargain bling
A nice lady in a zany hat had a lot of jewelry on her table. I 'm collecting shiny things for a craft project, so I bought a bag of jewelry odds and ends and mismatches and another little set of matching earrings and brooch.
|A bit of Hopkinsville history
|Fun-to-see art at the Senior Center
From the Senior Center, we drove east of Hopkinsville on 68/80. There was at least one yard sale per mile between Hopkinsville and Fairview, and in some of the miles, there were several sales. Keely was looking for baby things for her friend who is pregnant. She found a nice baby swing for just $15 -- it's the sort that can swing either sideways or back and forth.
|Lots of baby items at this sale
Butler Antiques from Hopkinsville and several other antique and flea market dealers always set up their sales on a hill a few miles east of Hopkinsville. Two years ago, I bought a chest of drawers for my son there, and last year I bought a nice wooden cabinet for my utility room. This year I only bought little things, so I didn't have to go home and get the truck to haul furniture -- thank goodness!
The Eastview Baptist Church is usually our next stop after the sale on the hill. In past years, they've had a huge yard sale event with dozens of people selling. But this year they didn't have enough volunteers to staff it. The Kentucky New Era reported that they hope to participate again next year. We have always enjoyed their sale immensely, and we felt a bit sad when we drove by their empty church yard.
To our surprise, an Amish lady was one of several sellers at this site. From the place where the two men are standing, the sales continued around a corner, up a little hill, and around another corner.
We weren't sure if the next sale was really a yard sale or not. The sign on the highway said, "Pool Table." But we turned off and drove up the hill, and sure enough, they were having a yard sale that included various pieces of art. I think the $2800 price tag on a sculpture was the most expensive thing we saw all day. But it was an interesting work of someone's hands, and I enjoyed seeing it. Coming back down the hill to the highway, we enjoyed the view.
Finally we arrived in Fairview. The little town was having a big day, and as always, the Jefferson Davis memorial was towering above it all. Lots of Mennonites were visiting the sales and riding through town on their bicycles and in horse-drawn vehicles. The buckboard in the photo below is essentially a one-horsepower pickup truck.
The Fairview Fire Department was selling barbecue sandwiches and cold drinks, as well as yard-sale items. The clothes on one of their trailers were 4/$1.00, so I bought some t-shirts to cut up. (I look for shirts that have no side seams so I can cut the bodies of the shirts into long continuous strips for crocheted rugs.)
|Support your local volunteer fire department!
We were losing our momentum after seven straight hours of yard sales, so we decided to end this year's 400 Mile Yard adventure. We stopped at the Mennonite grocery store on our way out of Fairview, and then I took Keely back to Hopkinsville. As I drove back out to my country home, I thought about all the sellers who had started at dawn and wouldn't close until dusk. I was glad to be just a shopper, able to quit and go home anytime I wanted.

Modular Lighting Instruments. Architectural lighting with attitude.
Positively opinionated. Don't believe in blending in. Always leading the discussion. Modular Lighting Instruments has been making high quality architectural lighting with attitude since 1980.
Architectural lighting is about finding the right balance. Between the aesthetic appeal of a space and the function and quality of the light. In other words, creating architectural beauty but also making sure that it serves our needs.
So that we can function at our best in a specific environment.
Read more
Apart from the architectural space itself, the luminaire choices of the architect or interior designer depend on many other factors. Like the concept or purpose of the space, and the creative mind of the designer. Every designer you ask will come up with a different lighting solution for the same space.
We believe that lighting should be empowering. That's why our light fixtures help designers to create new options and original configurations. The modular lighting idea is that one light fixture isn't just one light fixture. One single product design serves multiple purposes. Breaking set ideas about which lights and where.
What sets Modular Lighting Instruments apart? It's about finding the perfect balance between innovative design, expanding applications, and using the latest technology.
Design in extreme detail.
When we talk about design, we don't just mean the overall product design. We are obsessed by detail. It's the things you might not notice that are most important to us. We never stop thinking about how we can make a product better. Using magnetic plates to hide wires and screws. Anodization for a smoother colour execution on aluminium. Powder finishing for structured colours. It's the small things that make all the difference.
Application. One is many.
The modular approach to function, shape, colours and finishes offers the designer inspiring and unlimited options. We are continuously extending product families and finding new applications.
Tomorrow's technology.
We always think ahead, especially in terms of technology. We offer only highly efficient LED lighting units. As well as a standard CRI 90 for all colour temperatures. Which is not standard at all. For customer convenience: different colour temperatures are available for all products. In other words, it's not something you have to request.
It's because we care about providing superior quality that we design and make products in-house. That's why we make our own reflectors. We can use aluminium rather than the plastic that many other companies use. Doing it our-self guarantees greater flexibility and the ability to customize all our designs.
Hide information
Pista is the ultimate in modern aesthetics that introduces thinner slimmer magnetic track rails, ever smaller light fixtures and ultra-thin cables. But Pista isn't just about miniaturization, it's also about personalization. Creating unique configurations. The designer can play with different modules on single or multiple track rails in different lengths and colours.
Flat moon eclips
Bring the breath-taking subtlety of a lunar eclipse indoors – in the form of our Flat moon eclips lighting fixture. This enchanting ring-shaped luminaire distributes soft yet functional light, and is designed for hospitality venues, public, retail and other large spaces. Flat moon eclips has a high, powerful lumen output, but less than the current Flat moon. As it illuminates without overwhelming, Flat moon eclips is even also suitable for residential spaces.
Marbul suspension
Marbul suspension comes with a particularly thin, matt black cable and a fixed or adjustable sphere. Choose for a gold, champagne or aluminium reflector to pimp your desired light effect. The adjustable version features a small cap that can be used to incline the sphere by approximately 45° to highlight specific elements in a room, and the cable itself can be rotated around 360°.
Marbul feels both at home on the wall and ceiling, which makes it suited for use in both residential and hospitality projects. It's a perfect ready-made solution for renovation projects, thanks to the fully integrated technology in its body. The elegant surface mounted luminaires enable you to direct light with a simple twist of each lamp-unit. Thanks to its streamlined gearhouse the 1, 2 or 3 spheres appear to float against the ceiling. The unique magnetic coverplate keeps screws and wires neatly out of sight.
Wink 82
With the debut of the Wink 82, we are also presenting a completely new Wink accessory: Wink flange. Compatible with all 3 Wink lamps, Wink flange adds an extra accent in the form of a low ring around the spot, rather than a completely seamless install.
Interior designers in search of spotlight track lighting that combines exceptional brightness with great design are now armed with Modular's 'Kanon'. Designed for retail environments, it is a sure-fire guarantee that your merchandise will be illuminated in style.
With a name derived from the English verb 'evade', it is clear from the start that Vaeder will run a mile from the merely average. Its characteristic honeycomb structure in combination with a wafer-thin diffuser reduces glare to a minimum, whilst Vaeder's ground breaking LED lighting results in an energy-efficient and high performing office fixture, responding to the official standard EN 12464-1.
Single round
A showdown between square and round shapes. Based on the squared shape of its brother, Single round combines best of both worlds. The M-LED 111 module, designed by Modular R&D, is well hosted in an aluminum cylinder. Well fitted for use in specific retail projects thanks to the performant and efficient LED engine.
Twenty years after its initial launch, Multiple is still a coveted luminaire. The technology is on full display, allowing this luminaire to fit well into both a minimalist and an industrial-chic environment. The 'AR111' recessed variant can also be combined with the new M-LED 111.
This mini-spot track has great adjustability (h360° v50°) and a lens which produces a sharp circular light beam to put the accents in the right place.
Marbulito is available in white structure or black structure. The suspended modules comes with a 2-metre cable for elegant executions on high ceilings.
Médard 42
Our miniaturized version of our award-winning Médard, Médard 42 is a beauty in its own right. Demonstrating that less is more, Médard 42 combines function and design for the ultimate minimalist look of your interior design. Thanks to its great flexibility (h360° v360°), you can easily adjust the soft beam angle to the needs of your space.
SLD50 naked
These days, interior design is all about making a space truly your own by mixing and matching different elements. And that's where our newest addition, the SLD50 naked, a refinement of the SL mini naked design, comes into play. With even more colors and possible configurations, this new luminaire fits perfectly with practically every style and even the most ecclectic of interior designs.
Marbul recessed
Marbul recessed is characterized by a thin trim of 5mm through which 1 or 2 spheres appear to hang gently from the ceiling without any visible attachments. Flexible installation accessories such as the conbox and gypkit enable installation in concrete ceilings.
Rektor is now available in 2-lamp surface-mounted spotlight units, for greater illumination and even more interesting adjustable lighting effects. Draw attention, direct the gaze and craft an unmistakable architectural ambiance with Rektor 2x LED, offered in 7 colours with a metal housing cover accent.
Spektra is the first trackspot in the Modular portfolio with an adjustable zoom lens. Users can easily adjust the beam angle and change the inclination of the luminaire, ensuring that it only highlights targeted areas.
Sulfer is a minimalist square-shaped fixture. The cast aluminium luminaire brings a modern accent to walls, whether in- or outside (IP54) homes, hotels, restaurants, etc.
Smart tubed wall
Beautifully designed and customisable to any smaller venue, there is a Smart luminaire for anybody interested in adding an element of elegance to their space. With Smart tubed wall, illumination can now come from above and/or below, for truly beautiful and unique effects.
Just like in the yin-yang symbol, an S-shaped line divides Semih into two equal, yet opposite, sections: the hard, solid part mounted to the ceiling and the soft, round lamp housing, which can be easily pointed in the direction of specific objects or places. Adding a sense of softness and style to any interior, Semih is exceptionally easy to install, thanks to strong mounting magnets.
Marcel meets every customer's demand when looking for a highly performant retail lighting solution. Its installation ease, adjustability and endless possibilities with different LED sources and different lamp versions make this an immensely versatile fixture.
Portfolio is an exterior fixture with the looks of an abstract lighting book. Inspired by standard paper sizes and streamlined sheets of paper, Portfolio provides an inspirational architectural light in any external environment.
Nature is always the best inspiration for great designs. The insect stick inspired the Dutch design agency Bleijh in the design and creation of Médard. The quircky nature fits the Modular DNA. Médard is highly versatile thanks to its orientable head.
Smart surface tubed
You'd rather install a cylindrical than a square or rectangular surface box? The Smart surface tubed is available in a small, large and x-large version. What's more, the large and x-large models also come in suspended versions.

This combination will not only improve your AAJ experience, it will allow us to continue to rigorously build on the great work we first started in 1995. Read on to view our project ideas...
This new work of Masefieldâ????s is an ambitious project involving narration, video and a new original score to relate one of Tolstoyâ????s most famous short stories. In the course of the presentation, Masefield steers his group away from the concert stage proper and moves it in front of a movie screen to shed light on classic literature and the ethics of Leo Tolstoy, who has often received the title as "the greatest storyteller in modern history" (1828-1910).
Funded in part by a Creation Grant from the Vermont Council of the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, the new JMP piece follows closely on the heels of last yearâ????s The Deep Forbidden Lake (Lenapee, 2005), itself a marked departure for Masefield in the revolving set of players under the JMP moniker. In contrast to the freewheeling improvisational bent of earlier albums like Xeno- blast (Blue Note, 2000) and the world beat rhythms of Jungle Tango (Lenapee, 2003), the latest JMP studio work is chamber music of sorts, the quiet acoustic ruminations of mandolin. piano and double bass on a diverse selection of material ranging from the works of Neil Young and Radiohead to Django Rheinhardt and Ornette Coleman.
Jamie Masefield established his roots in the Vermont music scene over a decade ago and they remain firm to this day. He formed The Jazz Mandolin Project in 1993 more as an exploratory musical concept than a band which, over time, has been comprised of varying lineups of musicians (including at various points, Jon Fishman.)
JMP has since toured regularly appearing in clubs, theaters and festivals throughout the United States and the European continent. In addition to this consistent activity, the mandolinist often performs as a duo with Smokinâ???? Grass leader Doug Perkins, has arranged limited engagements of programs of Django Reinhardtâ????s music and regularly guests on stage with musicians visiting Vermont. Masefield debuted his most recent project in Burlington Vermont's FlynnSpace.
All About Jazz: When we first talked about this interview... you had talked about how "the gears and direction" had changed for you. I wonder what you meant by thatif you were referring just to the Tolstoy presentation at FlynnSpace or was there something more going on than that?
Jamie Masefield: I was referring more to the Tolstoy thing, but it's all a part of the same [thing]. After being on the road for so long, I started thinking of different things that we could do, different things that I could learn different environments for the music. I felt that it would be positive to have some change and challenges. I also wanted to do something that had little bit of a message to it with some intellectual content. With so many things going on in the world it seems a little indulgent...[and] I'm trying to say this as politically correctly as possible...I think the general climate we perform in is a fairly indulgent environment where everyone's wanting to have a good timeand I want to have a good time too'"[but] I have really been wanting to do something that had a message that would engage people in thoughtful conversations.
AAJ: It's easy to become insular especially if you get involved in music professionally or even just on an amateur level; you find yourself slipping into a somewhat compartmentalized way of thinking. I think just in general if we don't all at one time or another make a gesture to show that we're all connected to the world around us, everyone presumes we have no connection to it whatsoever, that we're all going on in our blissfully ignorant way.
JM: Right... I found myself asking myself "What else can I do? What new things are there to accomplish?" and in asking myself those questions, I came to the Tolstoy project which has provided, no not provided, it really is the answer to a lot of the questions and challenges I posed to myself. I've learned so much by putting this thing together and it's kind of put me in a different environment that I really want to be in. Performing the premier thing at the Flynn was really nice: it was great to be at the Flynnwe did all of our rehearsing thereand to be in a really nice listening environment for people.

Words by Mr Mansel Fletcher, Features Editor, MR PORTER
Arriving at the MP di Massimo Piombo showroom in Milan it's hard to be certain that you're in the right place, because the imposing Palazzo Moriggia is an unlikely fashion headquarters, and the sign reads "Museo del Risorgimento" (Museum of the Resurgence; the 19th-century movement for Italian unification). It's lucky there's a warden to point visitors in the right direction.
Mr Massimo Piombo explains that his young brand has access to such an evocative space through an initiative of the city of Milan, which has lent him grand rooms in the museum for six months. Amazingly his clothes are able to live up to this extraordinary space - perhaps because, in his words, "We like to create special products in a beautiful way, with a European approach."
That European approach includes, but isn't limited to, his suppliers, who range from silk weavers in Lyon, France, to the best Swiss cotton producers, via Scottish cashmere and tweed, and Hungarian alpaca. Mr Piombo describes his restless search for fabrics as "A mission. I'm not Gandhi, but this is a mission in a fashion sense. I spend 200 days a year travelling the world, but it's a hobby for me; it's fantastic, I like to spend my time looking for the most interesting clothes."
However, Mr Piombo knows that fine materials have to be deployed in the right way, and an element of restraint is crucial to his extraordinary taste. An example of this is the way he combines cream shirts with dinner jackets, to soften the contrast between shirt and jacket. This combination is rarely seen now, but Mr Piombo explains its origins. "It was a private code in the aristocratic world in the 1950s and 1960s - everybody else wore white, but they would only use cream."
Asked if such details are relevant in the 21st century Mr Piombo says, "It's our job to translate the old styles for the new generation. I don't make replicas of old clothes; I'm inspired by the archives to make contemporary versions. However, the DNA is the same, because the fabric mills are the same, and the countries where the fabric comes from are always the same." In practice this means that shapes, cuts and proportions are modern, but easy to wear. "When clothes are tight they're no longer beautiful," Mr Piombo explains. Central to the appeal of these designs is the fact that they could only exist in 2013, even if they're rooted in traditional forms.
It's our job to translate the old styles for the new generation. I don't make replicas of old clothes; I'm inspired by the archives to make contemporary versions
To understand how Mr Piombo comes to design such particular and elegant clothes it's helpful to know something about the man. Born in Varazze, a small seaside town just west of Genoa on Italy's Ligurian coast, Mr Piombo enjoys life's simple pleasures. "When I'm at home I like to fish, and I like to be in the country. When I'm working in Milan I like to go home every night so that I can wake up by the sea [Milan is approximately a 90-minute drive from Varazze]. I like to sail around Corsica in the summertime, and ski in the Engadin valley, in Switzerland, in wintertime." He's not a man who aspires to phony aristocratic grandeur, but a man in tireless pursuit of authentic elegance. As he puts it, "I hope to create some beauty."
It's worth mentioning that Mr Piombo is exceptionally well dressed. The day of our interview his clothes only slowly reveal themselves. At first glance he appears to be wearing a blue suit, but slowly the eye absorbs the fact that he's wearing a substantial double-breasted jacket, with subtle alternating beaded stripes, over a shirt and sweater, blue trousers and suede desert boots. The collar of his tan-coloured gingham shirt is severely foxed, he's rolled the long cuffs of his sweater back over his jacket's sleeves, and his trousers don't match the jacket. These elements combine to produce an unrivalled manifestation of sprezzatura, and it makes perfect sense when he says his personal style icons are Messrs Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Ezra Pound and F Scott Fitzgerald.
The inspiration for Mr Piombo's new spring collection came from the now-vanished days when men holidaying on France's Côte d'Azur still wore tuxedos for dinner. The designer was in Lyon, visiting his velvet supplier, when he had a eureka moment. "I saw printed velvet for dinner jackets, and for me this was like a new world. The jackets were worn at family dinners," he explains. "In the 1960s, at a private dinner on Cap Ferrat, men wore midnight blue jackets with small printed checks, cream shirts and black ties. I have followed their example with dinner jackets in silk from Lyon that's printed with discreet paisley. Of course the new generation can use them not just for dinner, but any time."
The privileged men dining on Cap Ferrat would naturally have had their clothes tailored, and Mr Piombo's modern interpretations are no less refined. This is thanks to his partnership with revered Italian manufacturer Kiton, which hand-makes the MP di Massimo Piombo clothes in its Neapolitan factory. Mr Piombo explains: "For us, the super-touch from Italy is the sartorial touch. To have Kiton make your clothes is like having Rolls-Royce make your car."

Bernie Ecclestone's claim that he was blackmailed by Gerhard Gribkowsky got a boost in court this week.
Gribkowsky has already been jailed in Germany for accepting the F1 supremo's alleged $44 million bribe, but 83-year-old Ecclestone claims he was being 'shaken down' by the former banker.
Ecclestone, who could also be jailed if found guilty of bribing a public official, got a boost this week when a witness - who like Gribkowsky worked on the F1 account for public bank BayernLB - testified in Munich.
Initially, Briton Ecclestone was seen shaking his head when the witness agreed with suggestions the F1 chief executive wanted to "get rid of" BayernLB as a shareholder of the sport.
"From my point of view, our departure was in his interest," the former bank employee said, according to Austria's Kleine Zeitung newspaper.
"Banks as shareholders were not wanted, in his view," the witness explained. "I'm quite sure he wanted us to sell."
The witness revealed they became less and less involved in the F1 account as Gribkowsky and Ecclestone worked more closely together.
"It (the witness' involvement) became less and less and eventually it stopped altogether," the witness said.
The prosecutors claim that others were excluded from Ecclestone and Gribkowsky's talks due to the negotiations about the controversial $44m payment.
But Ecclestone claims he only paid up after Gribkowsky threatened to divulge false information about his family's tax affairs to the British authorities.
The witness on Tuesday supported Ecclestone's version.
The former BayernLB employee recalled a letter, containing claims that Ecclestone was still in charge of the Bambino family trust, that Gribkowsky once placed on Ecclestone's desk.
The witness said that when Gribkowsky was rebuked for leaving the letter for Ecclestone, "He (Gribkowsky) just laughed".
However, it is reported that the very same witness also testified in Gribkowsky's trial, and the very same judge ultimately issued a guilty verdict.
Kleine Zeitung said three more BayernLB-connected witnesses will testify on Wednesday.

Creating Keepsakes magazine announced today that the magazine is ceasing publication after their November/December 2013 issue. Paper Crafts magazine is ceasing print publication as well, and the two publications will be merged together into a new all-digital publication called Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking.
The announcement blamed the change on the difficulty of competing against the immediacy of the increasingly digital world of publishing when dealing with lengthy "print lag" in producing a paper magazine. Creating Keepsakes had recently gone to publishing split issues, part paper and part digital, in an attempt to deal with this challenge.
Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking will be a monthly publication, and should look familiar to readers of the previous publications:
Created by some of the same editors from both Paper Crafts and Creating Keepsakes magazines, you'll find many columns and features you've always loved in CK, including Latest & Greatest, Sketches, and Tips & Tricks. Continue Reading →

Pillsbury Recall: Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls May Contain Pieces of Plastic In
A Pillsbury recall has taken place, with General Mills reportedly recalling a limited number of eight count Pillsbury cinnamon rolls with icing. The recall has been made due to broken pieces of plastic being found on the production line.
General Mills has released a press statement saying that it is possible the dough in the cinnamon rolls may contain fragments of plastic and could be dangerous to consume.
The recall has been classified as a Class II recall, and it only affects the eight count single Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing that have the better-if-used-by-dates on the package of 30OCT2013 and 31OCT2013.
Also included in the recall is the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing two-pack with the better-if-used-by dates of 18OCT2013, 26OCT2013 and 31OCT2013.
No other varieties of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are included in the recall, General Mills has confirmed.
Any customers who notice they have any of the recalled items are asked to contact General Mills for a replacement at 1-800-775-4777.

Would small business professionalism benefit from adoption of a corporate culture?
I think it's about quality, efficiency and scale rather than image. Being small is no reason for being slack. Being small is no reason to be unprofessional - and if you're not a professional, you're an amateur. By definition, amateurs don't make money.
A Breakthrough Company programme member talked about how he had developed written procedures for his 25 most critical processes. He said: "I thought that as a small business I didn't need to do this, but I just got sick of reinventing the wheel every time." Most importantly, he freed up two days a week to get out and grow his business.
Does a corporate background help in the running of a small business?
I advise a lot of small businesses, and I find myself constantly drawing on my corporate experience. Corporates have achieved scale through their systems and processes, which is exactly what most small businesses aspire to.
But here's the thing: corporates didn't develop systems and structures when they got big: they got big because they developed systems and structures and kept developing them as they grew. Every big business started out small.
Here are some aspects of business management where structure helps:
•Governance - planning and monitoring business direction.
•People management - from recruitment to performance management.
•Systems - especially for lead generation and operational processes.
•Information systems - collecting real-time data about company performance.
How do you make your small business look big and is this dishonest or just good competitive practice?
I think it's a better idea to look better than you are, then work like hell to deliver on your promise. If you can imagine how you might look better, you're halfway there. If you're unprofessional in your approach and presentation but you don't know it, you can't do anything to improve it. The value of external advisers and programmes is that we bring the outside in, helping small business owners get a clear picture of themselves, a sense of what's possible and the occasional kick in the pants to keep moving.
What do small businesses do well that corporates could learn from?
Well-performing small enterprises do a few things better than corporates:
•Because they're less bound by legacy systems, markets, people and customers they are more agile and can readily change direction;
•They can be more responsive to customers, though it's hard to scale if you create unique solutions for every client.
•It's easier to build a team when an organisation is small, though this, too, is a double-edged sword: there's no escape from a small dysfunctional team. As someone said to me once, "An island in the rain is no fun."
Having experienced both large and small businesses, I think small firms have more to learn from corporates than the other way around. Most small company practices aren't relevant to big companies, but small firms can, with a little help, adopt and adapt big company practices to great effect.
Mike Ashby is the founder and director of professional development adviser The Breakthrough Company.

Rival Restaurants Engaged In Heart-Stopping Legal Drama
There are a slew of legal debacles that have dominated the headlines in recent weeks. Barclays' cross-continental interest rate fixing. 'Obamacare' passing. Anderson Cooper coming out. (Okay, maybe that one isn't a legal debacle.) But honestly, all these cases hold little water when compared to the intense legal battle between New York City's 2nd Avenue Deli and the aptly named Las Vegas restaurant The Heart Attack Grill. The point of contention? Who gets to call their sandwich the "Instant Heart Attack."
Recently, 2nd Avenue Deli received a cease and desist order from the Sin City establishment. But instead of rolling over, the pastrami slingers simply fired a lawsuit right back at them. 2nd Avenue Deli owner Jeremy Lebewohl exuberantly exclaimed that he and his staff felt "vindicated" upon receiving the OK to continue selling the "Instant Heart Attack," a cholesterol-catalyzing concoction which features a half-a-pound of corned beef, pastrami, turkey or salami between two large potato pancakes. Lebewohl and his crew also got the go-ahead to start selling their newest sandwich, the "Triple Bypass," which contains "everything but the kitchen sink."
However 2nd Avenue Deli's victory can only be upheld within state boundaries, as they cannot market either the "Instant Heart Attack" or the "Triple Bypass" outside of New York. It's a proud day for the Big Apple. New Yorkers, get your appetites (and cholesterol medication) ready.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced that he is calling a community summit meeting on the methamphetamine problem from 8 a.m. to noon, Tuesday May 7 at the Cornhusker Hotel. The free conference will bring together representatives of government, education, law enforcement, the court system, social service agencies and the medical community to discuss the increasing manufacture and use of the highly addictive and destructive drug.
"Meth affects all of us - employers, victims of crimes, parents and friends of addicts, landlords, educators, health care providers," said Mayor Wesely. "A comprehensive strategy involving the entire community is needed to combat meth, and greater awareness is a starting point. If we don't attack this problem, we'll continue to pay the price in higher crime rates, incarceration and medical treatment costs."
In January, Mayor Wesely and Police Chief Tom Casady called on citizens and retailers to help fight the meth problem by being alert to the signs of meth production and use. Casady said during the past year in the community, four people have died in meth-related incidents - three homicides and one meth lab explosion. Nine law enforcement officers were injured during meth lab investigations. Casady said meth is also linked to double-digit increases in forgery and theft cases.
"Meth represents the greatest drug risk to the community I have seen during my career," said Casady. "The police cannot solve this problem alone. Arresting meth dealers and users is important, but it's not enough. We need the support of everyone to address this threat on many fronts. "
Casady said the presence of meth continues to increase in Lincoln and in the Midwest because its ingredients are readily available, and it is relatively low in cost. Last year, 44 meth labs were discovered and shut down in Lancaster County - 23 of those in the city limits. So far this year, there have been 14 meth labs in Lancaster County, with nine of those in the city limits. Last year, $10.8 million worth of meth was involved in federal indictments for meth trafficking in Lincoln. Of the 3,083 drug arrests last year, 532 were felony drug arrests. Drug arrests have increased 54 percent in the past five years.
U.S. Attorney Mike Heavican will deliver the summit's keynote address. Other presenters include Assistant Chief Jim Peschong of the Lincoln Police Department; Bruce Dart, Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department; Dr. Steven A Seifert, Poison Center Medical Director at Children's Hospital in Omaha; Laurie Sheerer, Clinical Director of Centerpointe and District Court Judge Karen Flowers.
Flyers announcing the summit will be distributed later this week. Those wishing to register can contact Sergeant Mike Woolman by e-mail at email@example.com or by calling 441-7215.
