Tera Console Gifting Emp – How to Survive an EMP Attack
Tera Console Gifting Emp
Tera Console Gifting Emp An EMP or Electro-Magnetic Pulse is an enormous burst of electromagnetic energy that can occur naturally or be produced intentionally utilizing nuclear weapons. While lots of specialists do not believe EMPs posture a big risk, some people argue that these kinds of weapons could be used to trigger widespread interruption to electricity-dependent societies.
The Danger of EMPs
An EMP releases substantial waves of electro-magnetic energy, which can imitate a huge moving magnet. Such a changing electromagnetic field can trigger electrons in a neighboring wire to move, therefore causing an existing. With such a big burst of energy, an EMP can cause harmful power surges in any electronic devices within variety.
Natural EMPs happen when the sun periodically spits out huge streams of plasma, and if they come our way, Earth's natural magnetic field can deflect them. When the sun spits out enough plasma at when, the impact can cause the magnetic field to wobble and create a powerful EMP.

Then, there's the possibility of purposeful EMPs. If a nuclear weapon were to be detonated high in the environment, the gamma radiation it would launch could strip electrons from air molecules and accelerate them at near to the speed of light. These charge-carrying electrons would be confined by Earth's electromagnetic field, and as they zipped around, they would produce a powerful, fluctuating electrical present, which, in turn, would create an enormous EMP. The surge might also distort Earth's magnetic field, triggering a slower pulse comparable to a naturally taking place EMP.
Setting off a nuclear weapon about 200 miles (300 kilometers) above the U.S. could produce an EMP that would cover the majority of North America. The surge and radiation from the bomb would dissipate prior to reaching ground level, however the resulting EMP would be effective enough to ruin electronic devices throughout the region.
A little EMP with a radius of under a kilometer can likewise be produced by integrating high-voltage source of power with antennas that release this energy as electro-magnetic waves. The U.S. military has a cruise missile carrying an EMP generator. Called the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), it can be used to target specific opponent centers and would be within the abilities of numerous militaries, and even terrorist groups, to build an EMP generator.
How to Protect Yourself Tera Console Gifting Emp
A Faraday Cage is simply a closed box composed of a conductive material such as metal or plastic, which has the effect of creating an invisible field that completely cancels out all electronic energy. Such a cancellation of energy makes the box uninhabitable for anything other than a Faraday Cage. The name Faraday comes from the British engineer who invented the Faraday Laws in 1847. According to this law, any flow of electric current is subject to a gravitational pull. Any change in the distance of the flow from a Faraday Cage to its surrounding environment, produces an opposite reaction, the cancellation of which produces a net charge in the space through which the flow passes.
Such a cancellation cannot occur in systems that are not Faraday Cages. A Faraday Cage can only be affected by an EMP attack by causing it to rapidly fluctuate in its electrical output. Such a disturbance would rapidly disable most electronics, with communication being the first to be affected. As well as electrical systems, the pulse would also affect most military and underground nuclear weapons programs. Therefore, if you are planning on living in a society that is unprepared for an EMP attack, you should invest in personal protective equipment such as a 'Star Wars'-style deflector grid capable of protecting your body from the pulse.
Church Leaders PRAYED you'd never see this… Watch Here<<<
A Faraday Cage is not the only means of defense against an EMP attack. Any electromagnetic pulse entering a Faraday Shield is also subject to rapid changes in the magnetic field intensity. Such an attack would disable even the most advanced electronic devices such as computers. Therefore, one of the primary effects of such an attack would be the 'firing' of the 'capsules' within such devices. This process would severely limit the ability to send electronic messages by cell phone, fax or other means of communication.
However, with the development of pulse detection equipment, this problem is easily prevented. Pulse detection systems are designed to quickly detect any changes in the magnetic fields around electrical conductors. Once an object's pulse is detected, the system will halt all current production until such time that the object's field has completely returned to normal.
There are many advantages to having a Pulse Detector available in your home. One of the primary reasons is the 'defense against electromagnetic pulses'. Every day, we are exposed to a high amount of EM radiation (EMR) coming from various sources. Many of these sources produce strong electric currents. Such currents can easily damage our health, as well as our electrical systems. An undetected pulse can easily do just that! Tera Console Gifting Emp
Some devices are specifically designed to protect against electrical pulses. Some examples of such devices include safe room Pulse Suppressors, Multi-Zone Safety Appliances, and Faraday Walls. These devices will either have a built-in magnet or a Faraday Shield, which will protect the electrical circuitry from intense surges of EMR. Some other similar devices could include: Firewall Panels, Door and Window Safes, and Car Shelters. However, each of these items has a different use and is not necessarily intended for all situations.
In order for an attacker to bring down a Protection System, it would be necessary to locate one of these devices within the protected area and trigger it. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to know where this device will be located or exactly when it will activate without inside information. Also, an enemy with many sources of EMR could successfully disable or otherwise take down a single device without triggering other devices.
In addition, in order to properly protect yourself from such an attack, it would be necessary to not only protect the protected equipment but your personal safety as well. While some people are able to withstand short-term attacks, a sustained attack could kill them. For this reason, it would be necessary to have multiple layers of protection. As long as each layer can cover the different sources of EMR, your entire protective system will be safe.
Final Thoughts
While the thought of an EMP attack is enough to keep you up at night, there are measures that can be taken to protect yourself. Surviving an EMP attack initially is just the beginning. Without a proper plan in place to protect yourself in the aftermath can be a deadly misstep.
A nondestructive electro-magnetic pulse is an extreme burst of exceptionally high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from a nuclear explosion. The resulting quick altering highly changing electrical and fixed fields can pair into and communicate with different electrical and electronic gadgets to produce harmful voltage and current rises. These can considerably disrupt energy and telephone frequencies and can severely hinder the functioning of telecommunication systems. It is estimated that around half of the radiation from nuclear explosions around the world is discharged in the form of this thermal pulse. It has been estimated that roughly one hundred fifty thousand to one million individuals around the world are affected straight by EIM's every year. Tera Console Gifting Emp
An emp attack occurs when a device is accidentally damaged by an EIM while in usage. The majority of computer system systems are not vulnerable to EIM effects, particular gadgets, such as servers, routers, fax makers, backup generators, backup power tools, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, pagers, fax servers, telephone sets, computer systems, and tv sets are specifically vulnerable to EIM impacts.

The discreet 9-room Hideaway, my Palm Springs home for three nights
GOOD MORNING from Palm Springs, California, where I am, instead of the woman taking yard waste to the dump or running to catch the Flatbush Avenue bus, a minor celebrity. It's because of a book I wrote in the 1980s, Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s, that launched many collecting and merchandising careers and helped spawn a huge revival of interest in the design of the period that continues to this day.
Guest lounge at the Hideaway, looking very much as it did in the 1950s
Palm Springs was an epicenter of adventurous custom architecture in the post-WWII years, and the town's stock of homes by architects like William Cody, Albert Frey, William Krisel, Donald Wexler, and E. Stewart Williams has become one of the area's main draws. I'm here to write about it for Endless Vacation magazine.
My room at the Hideaway, known as Ray's Retreat (Ray Eames, I presume)
I'm comfortably ensconced at the discreet and well-named Hideaway (there's no sign; I was told to look for three tall skinny palm trees rising out of a thick hedge) — a low-slung 1947 mini-resort by architect Herbert W. Burns, whose rooms, arrayed around a pool, feature authentic mid-century decor and Palm Springs' ever-present, stunning mountain backdrop.
Bill Manion, manager of the Hideaway at its sister property, Orbit In
A real California breakfast: broccoli rabe frittata and cheddar hash browns at Cheeky's
Palm Springs is a cohesive collection of mid-20th century residential and commercial architecture, sprinkled with a few remaining examples of the earlier Spanish Colonial Revival style that pre-dated it. Yesterday I took a comprehensive 3-1/2-hour tour with architectural historian Robert Imber of Palm Springs Modern Tours, who stuffed our heads with information and images as we drove through neighborhoods like Las Palmas, The Mesa, Little Tuscany, and Indian Canyons. He filled us in on where real celebrities, including Sinatra, Elvis, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, Kate and Spencer, and on and on and on, owned homes or spent time, opening our eyes to unusual roof lines, innovative layouts, modern materials, and desert landscaping.
Tramway Gas Station (now Palm Springs Visitors Center), 1965, Albert Frey and Robson Chambers
Richard Neutra's 1946 desert house for the Kaufmanns, also owners of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
William Krisel's 1962 House of Tomorrow designed for Palm Springs' most influential developer, Robert Alexander; also known as Elvis and Priscilla Presley's honeymoon cottage (they lived here for about a year as newlyweds)
I'm also checking out vintage modern shopping opportunities for the magazine at numerous stores whose inventory ranges from Good Design to unabashed kitsch.
Modern Way, where designer names abound
Above, Dazzles, where I relived my life in collecting, from rattan furniture to bottlecap figures to Lucite grapes (that's Mike, the proprietor — the store has been here 14 years after 20 in L.A.)
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for my morning swim…

Jesse & Joy take 4 Latin Grammys, Juanes wins too
LAS VEGAS (AP) — As Colombian rockero Juanes took home the best album award, Mexican brother-sister duo Jesse & Joy and their pop hit "Corre!" ran away with four awards at the 13th Annual Latin Grammys.
Hosted by actors Cristian De La Fuente and Lucero, Thursday night's event attracted stars from across the world and from dozens of Latin musical genres to the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Just like at a big family party, new faces shared the spotlight with older generations, and traditional styles mixed with electronica and Vegas dancers on stage.
Traditional Mexico met Las Vegas in a colorful number featuring Oaxaca native Lila Downs, Afro-Colombian singer Toto la Momposina and dancers in regional costumes, Carnival masques and skeleton makeup.
"What a great joy. Thank God, and all the fans," Juanes said as he dragged Dominican mereguero Juan Luis Guerra, who produced "MTV Unplugged," to the stage to accept the mini-gramaphone for best album at the close of the ceremony.
The winner for best new artist, the Mexican DJ trio 3ball MTY, threw down beats with America Sierra and Sky Blu of LMFAO. Pitbull performed "Don't Stop the Party" with dancers in gold spangled bikinis and hot pants. Juanes jammed with legendary guitarist Carlos Santana.
Michel Telo, the Brazilian sertanejo or country music singer, performed his hit, "Ai si eu te pego,"with Blue Man Group. Bachata heartthrob Prince Royce sang with veteran Mexican singer-songwriter Joan Sebastian. But the applause was also strong for the 1980s hit, "Yo No Te Pido la Luna," a duet between Spaniard Sergio Dalma and Mexican singer Daniela Romo, sporting a short silver hairdo following her bout with breast cancer.
Jesse & Joy also won for best contemporary pop vocal album for "Con Quien se Queda el Perro" and best short video for "Me voy."
"Thanks to people like Juanes and Juan Luis Guerro who have inspired us. Love and peace," Jesse said.
Guerra, who came into the ceremony as the leading nominee with six bids, won producer of the year for Juanes' album "MTV Unplugged."
Guerra performed "En el Cielo No Hay Hospital," which brought the audience to its feet to dance, and for a standing ovation.
Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Don Omar and Uruguayan alt rockers Cuarteto de Nos won two Latin Grammys each.
Downs won best folkloric album for "Pecados y Milagros." Colombian singer Fonseca won for best tropical fusion album, and Los Tucanes de Tijuana won best norteno album for "365 Dias," the narco-corrido band's 32nd album.
Milly Quezada brought home two statuettes, including best contemporary tropical album for "Aqui estoy yo."
"Long live merengue! Long live the Dominican Republic!" she said as she accepted the award. She also thanked Guerra, who helped produce the album.
Cuban-American jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval won three Latin Grammys, two for "Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You)," but said these awards was just exciting as his first.
"The emotion is the same because one puts the same effort into each recording and the fact that the work is received well and respected by the public is very satisfying," he said.
The Latin Grammy celebration kicked off Wednesday with a tribute to Person of the Year winner, Caetano Veloso, one of the founders of the Tropicalismo movement.
The Brazilian singer, composer and activist sang in Spanish and Portuguese before Pitbull and Sensato closed with "Crazy People."
The event was broadcast live on Univision.

To help ensure system reliability, coverage extends to the enlargement of head-end equipment for cable operators.
Enjoy More Efficient Installation through Improved Plug-and-Play Capabilities
In a busy hospitality environment, time spent on display installation and maintenance is time that could otherwise be devoted to more critical growth-related activities. Through advanced plug-and-play settings, hotel managers can activate hundreds of in-room displays with minimal effort required. Operations teams simply have to navigate three basic launch settings to synchronize multiple displays and servers while also defining connectivity and language needs:
• Basic Setup: A user-friendly interface lets hospitality managers define the language, picture and tuning, and clock settings.
• Cloning Mode: To further enhance multi-display control, hotel managers can replicate communication and content delivery functionalities across all on-site displays. Once the cloning process is complete, users can activate their displays without requiring any further installations or compatibility confirmation.
• Factory Mode: Hotel managers additionally can customize advanced display operations, such as audio parameters and connectivity settings, through an easy-to-access factory mode portal.
The plug-and-play functionalities also enable certain non-hospitality environments to enjoy the same content and system management benefits. A unique Commercial Mode setting accommodates the specialized requirements of commercial users, such as government and education entities, without compromising performance.

Save time and effort when setting up multiple protocols between SI-provided set-top boxes and displays. Samsung SMART Hospitality Display are compatible with various SI protocols at purchase.
Headphone ID compatibility
Give guests the luxury of listening to TV in bed without the cumbersome need to extend the headphone cable. The included Headphone ID detects headphones connected to the extension sockets next to a bed where guests can simply plug headphones to listen to the TV without disturbing others in the room.
Headphone ID compatibility availability may vary by region/country.
Security Mode
Gain unique and strong display content management with Security Mode on HD470 Series displays. Using this feature, you can disable critical functions of the displays to easily prevent changes to the displays' settings. You can also block non-compliant content or the transmission of unwanted Teletext (TTX) with a signal to maintain complete control of content on guest room displays, including input through HDMI® and USB ports. This feature is also highly beneficial for controlling displays in environments that require tight security, such as prisons.
Hospitality Stand
Provide guests with an excellent view of the TV from anywhere in the room with a TV stand. The stand provides a flexible 20º, 60º and 90º swivel support and ensure the TV remains firmly in place.
Sound Bar Compatibility

As the organ responsible for maintaining equilibrium in the body and the most energy-demanding of all the organs, the brain takes a lot of the body's energy allocation. So when food is in short supply, the brain is the organ that is fed first. But what happens when there isn't enough food to fulfill the high-energy needs of the brain and survival is threatened?
The brain does not simply self-allocate available resources on the fly; instead it "trims the fat" by turning off entire processes that are too costly. Researchers from CNRS in Paris created a true case of do-or-die, starving flies to the point where they must choose between switching off costly memory formation or dying. When flies are starved, their brains will block the formation of aversive long-term memories, which depend on costly protein synthesis and require repetitive learning.
But that doesn't mean all long-term memories are shut down. Appetitive long-term memories, which can be formed after a single training, are enhanced during a food shortage.
In order to test the idea that the neurons responsible for long-term memory are disabled during starvation, the researchers trained starved flies to associate certain odors with jolts of electricity. They combined this training with a manipulation that activated the two neurons responsible for long-term memory formation. When these neurons were activated in starving flies, their lives were shortened by about 30 percent, suggesting the activity pushed these neurons past their energetic limits.
Although the researchers used fruit flies in their study, many of the features at play in the fly are also involved in the regulation of long-term memory in mammals.

Every once in a while I come across someone who describes me in the most peculiar way. There's a great homesteading blog that says something like "the most organized homesteader I know." Or, one that shocks me even more, "This woman can do it all!" Yeah. Not so much.
I'm a bit bothered by these statements actually. I try to be pretty honest on my blog – not just all shiny-happy all the time. I'm not joking when I call myself the LAZY homesteader. I'm really, really great at coming up with an idea, gathering all the materials, and not following it through to completion. Rick often plays clean-up to my projects.
I'm not sure if I'm more bothered by the fact that I'm somehow failing to communicate the realism of my life ( I have THREE kids that sometimes drive me to drink, people), or if it's the imagined (implied?) pedestal that someone thinks I'm on that gets to me.
There are a lot of Judgey-Judgertons out there ready to tell you you're not doing enough, you're doing too much, you're doing it wrong, or what you're doing isn't as important as what they're doing. I'm so not that. I don't ever want to communicate that.
I'm not sure exactly what the communication break down is, but I wanted to pause a moment to illustrate for you just how imperfect my life really is.
Please, come with me into the urban homestead confessional. Forgive me Followers, for I have sinned. It's been 11 months since my last confession:
- This year I planted beets that I failed to harvest until they were good for nothing besides pig food.
- I've completely lost track of my Independence Days challenge this year. I still have an egg count going though.
- I never made pickles this year. And I ignored the fact that my melons and cukes didn't germinate, I didn't replant them.
- I decided to take on the Riot for Austerity. And then I didn't.
- Last summer, I over-bought peaches. I feel like I still have as many peaches in the freezer this year as I did last year.
- This spring I used not-quite-finished compost in the garden and then grew lots and lots of weeds. I generously gave some of this same compost to the neighbor. I send H to pull weeds for him.
- In 2011, I gave myself a 20 week organizing challenge: twenty weeks to organize twenty things. I stayed on track for 8 weeks, went all sporadic, took a five month break, did three more posts on it at the beginning of the year, and then completely blew the project off. I still have four items to go.
- I collected too many chickens. I was like the crazy cat lady of chickens. We had 14 and they were all stressed and dirty and it stank. We butchered three and are holding steady at 11 right now. They are much happier and we're loving the eggs. But really I need to find a home for 4 more of them; I'm putting it off because I'm all attached or something.
- I bought a grow light to start seeds with. I sat it on the dryer and never opened it. After four months, I dusted it off and returned it to Lowes for store credit.
- I drove two hours, round trip, to pick three boxes of tomatoes from my CSA. I let the husband wash them and then left them on the counter for 19 days until all but 22 were rotten. At that point, I divided the remainder between the chickens and the compost bin.
What are some things you had the best intentions for but didn't pan out as planned? Have anything to confess?

As one of the top 100 websites in the world, the free porn video website YouPorn has a lot of subscribers. And as of late Tuesday night, at least 6,400 of those subscriber's passwords were exposed in a data dump on Pastebin that paired email addresses with plain text passwords. The list of YouPorn logins is thought to have been captured from a public-facing server, leaving YouPorn a bigger share of the blame for permitting lazy security.
Naturally, this creates a problem for thousands of people who may want to keep their enthusiasm for erotica secret, and having an e-mail address connected with the site is certainly a breach of privacy on a grand scale. Even if those affected don't care who knows they frequent X-rated sites, there's still the danger that someone will use the plain-text password to access other accounts with more important information in them, as people tend to use the same passwords to login to multiple different Websites.
It appears that the dump is the work of an unknown hacker. While YouPorn appears to have shut down the breached server, the damage is largely done. Portions of the list have been published around the Internet, and analysis of the list is taking all kinds of permutations.

Just a few weeks ago, everything looked wonderful at Barcelona. They had won La Liga for the second season in a row, once again finishing ahead of Real Madrid. Despite their bitter rivals breaking the world transfer record twice last summer when buying Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, they could not match the talents of Xavi, Iniesta and Lionel Messi, who was voted FIFA World Player of the Year.
Although they could not repeat the previous season's Champions League triumph, being unable to find a way past the defensive wall built by Jose Mourinho's Inter in the semi finals, Barcelona did subsequently provide most of the players for the Spanish team that won the World Cup in South Africa.
"Glory days", as Springsteen once sang.
However, July was not so kind to the Catalan club – at least from the financial perspective. Early in the month came the surprising news that the club had been forced to seek a sizeable bank loan of €150 million in order to overcome short-term problems with their cash flow. Incoming president Sandro Rosell was quick to explain that the credit request had initially been made by the previous Barcelona board under Joan Laporta's presidency, "knowing that there were insufficient resources."
Rosell blamed the former regime for this sad state of affairs, "We have taken over a club in debt and with liquidity problems, but we are resolving them." Worse still, he claimed that the money was needed "to pay the important commitments such as the salaries of the players, coaching staff and employees." Failing to pay the players is serious stuff, which was highlighted when the club sold defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy back to Shakhtar Donetsk for €15 million, which was €10 million less than they had paid for him only a year earlier, with Rosell confirming that the sale was motivated by financial requirements as well as sporting considerations.
As if that were not bad enough, the club then shocked the sporting community when they announced a major restatement to the accounts previously published at the AGM for the year up to 30 June 2010. The new vice-president for economic affairs, Javier Faus, said that an audit had revealed a series of adjustments that turned the €9 million profit declared by the former treasurer, Xavier Sala I Martin, into a massive loss of €80 million – that's a huge difference of €89 million. The auditors' proposed changes reduced revenue from €446 million to a still impressive €409 million, while increasing costs from €429 million to an unprecedented €478 million.
How can this be? What on earth is happening with Barcelona's finances? This is mes que un loss by anyone's standards.
The first point to make is that even in an age where we have International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), accounting is not quite as black-and-white as people might imagine. There is a considerable degree of judgment applied over which revenue and costs should be recognised in the accounts. Even Faus admitted that the old accounts were not "fixed", but the new board had simply taken a far more conservative approach, "We opted for caution."
"Laporta and Rosell - best of friends?"
One of the fundamental accounting conventions is prudence and it does look like Laporta had a tendency to count his chickens before they hatched. On the other hand, you can be too careful. As an analogy, if you believe that it's going to rain, you might take an umbrella with you when you go out, but you probably wouldn't refuse to leave the house just in case you get wet.
In fairness to the previous board, their results were unaudited. In fact, it's a great achievement for the club to release draft accounts just a few days after the books closed. Most companies do not do this, as there are invariably numerous discussions with the auditors before the final figures are agreed. By the way, Deloittes are not new to the club, but have been auditing the accounts for many years, so there's nothing too sensational about their role in the restatement.
There are three categories of adjustment to the accounts, which relate to television (€56 million), player transfers (€12 million) and land (€21 million). The largest is a €38 million provision for a legal dispute with TV company Sogecable, which the new board has decided to fully cover, even though they believe that they have a strong legal case. This is a long-running dispute, but, interestingly, Deloittes did not require a full provision in last year's accounts.
Still on television, two adjustments were made for payments from current TV rights holder Mediapro, totaling €18.5 million. The first one is for a €16 million bonus payment that Laporta booked, even though it comprises four annual payments of €4 million until 2013. The auditors decided to only include this year's money, leading to a €12 million adjustment. This could be argued either way, but given the long-term nature of the payments and Mediapro's well-publicised difficulties, this correction is probably fair enough. Barcelona also have a legal dispute (another one) with Mediapro worth €13 million, which the auditors have only included at 50%, as it is not certain that the case will be won, leading to a €6.5 million adjustment.
Similarly, there are two adjustments for player transfers. In the case of Thierry Henry, even though his free transfer to the New York Red Bulls was only finalised in July, Faus claimed that the contract was signed before the end of last season, meaning that the remaining €8 million amortisation should be booked in the 2009/10 accounts. In yet another legal dispute (how much do Barcelona spend on lawyers?), the club is owed €4 million from Espanyol for the transfer of midfielder Raul Baena, which the auditors have not included, again because payment is far from guaranteed.
"Happy days"
Like animals boarding Noah's Ark, the land adjustments also came in "two by two". Very little of the proceeds from the sale of the Sant Joan Despi land has been received to date, despite the contract being completed, so the auditors have reduced this income by €15 million. Unless they seriously believe that the money will not be paid, this looks a bit too cautious to me. Usually, you do not wait until the money is received before recognising the income. In addition, two valuations were provided for the land at Viladecans: Laporta's expert suggested €17 million, while Rosell's appraiser estimated €5.7 million. Using the wisdom of Solomon, the auditors split the difference, producing a €5.7 million adjustment.
Without examining all the details behind these adjustments, it is impossible to say whether they are justified or not. My gut instinct is that they are overly prudent. What we can say with confidence is that none of these adjustments impact the club's cash flow, as they are simply accounting entries for provisions and revaluations.
Given the striking drop in profitability, you have to ask whether Barcelona set a completely unrealistic budget for 2009/10.
On the face of it, looking at the projected growth from the 2008/09 results, you would have to say no. Revenue was only budgeted to increase by €20 million from €385 million to €405 million and almost all of that growth was due to €40 million profit on sales of assets (players €25 million, land €15 million). Yes, that's the same land sale that the auditors adjusted this year. All other revenue streams were largely unchanged with marketing revenue actually forecast to decline, as they did not anticipate a repeat of the previous season's spectacular trophy wins.
They also forecast €13 million cost growth from €362 million to €375 million, but this looks less reasonable. Player amortisation was budgeted to increase by almost 30% (€16 million), reflecting the impact of new players, but salaries were hardly increased at all. This never made sense to me and, as we shall see, this proved to be hopelessly optimistic. There was also an attempt at cost containment with other expenses cut by €6 million. All in all, former economic vice-president Joan Boix described this as "a very balanced and austere budget."
So how did the actual 2009/10 results compare to this budget?
Using the figures after the audit adjustments, we can see that the revenue was pretty much in line. In fact, it was actually €4 million better than budget, as the negative variance due to the non-booked profit from the land sale was more than compensated by the core revenue. Marketing revenue was €7m above budget, thanks to more royalties from Nike and higher merchandise sales, while television revenue, the source of so much concern, ended up €16 million better than budget (11% higher than last year), mainly due to more money from the Champions League, following the 30% increase in the total pool. Although match day income was slightly lower than budget, it rose by 3%, helped by a 7% increase in the number of members.
However, the stand-out variances against budget were in the costs, which were an awful €103 million worse, coming in at a grand total of nearly half a billion Euros. The audit provisions are the reason for the €66 million adverse variance in other expenses, but the real damage is done in salaries. Adding together all staff (sports and administration) produces a jaw-dropping figure of €263 million, which is €36 million worse than budget. Put another way, the budget was out by 16%, which is a hell of a lot in just 12 months. It's not as if they're trying to forecast the lottery numbers, for heaven's sake.
"Is the club down for the count?"
In fact, after all the audit adjustments, the total shortfall against budget is a round €100 million. Ouch. The solid revenue growth of 6% has been obliterated by terrifying cost growth of 32%. Granted, a considerable chunk of this is the result of once-off provisions, but much of it is down to player expenses – amortisation and salaries.
The wages were already very high, but €263 million is a scary figure. To place that in context, big-spending Real Madrid "only" paid out €187 million in staff costs last year (though it may have increased since then). The club identifies three reasons for the increase: new signings, contract improvements and variable compensation. The bonus payments were worth around €40 million, so Barcelona are, to some extent, victims of their own success.
As you would expect, the wages to turnover ratio has been on a rising trend and now stands at 68% (using Deloitte's definition of revenue). This is by no means terrible, being within UEFA's suggested maximum of 70%, but must be a concern. As a comparison, it's about the same as Chelsea, though it is much worse than Manchester United (44%) and Arsenal (46%). It's also lower than 13 clubs in the Premier League, though these clubs do not have anything like a €400 million turnover. Whatever. But what is indisputable is that the increase in salaries is the logical result of their (how shall we put it?) "generous" transfer policy.
As indeed is the increase in player amortisation to €71 million, which is even higher than Real Madrid (€64 million) and a lot more than even the most profligate English club (Chelsea €59 million), though Manchester City (€47 million) might get close after their third summer spending spree in a row. Of course, Barcelona have been no slouches in that department, splashing out around €90m last summer on bringing new players to the Camp Nou, including the unpredictable forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that man Chygrynskiy and two Brazilians: the veteran full-back Maxwell and the promising striker Keirrison. This year, they picked up Valencia's prolific striker David Villa for €40 million, but the amortisation on his transfer fee will only be reflected in next year's accounts.
Enough about the P&L, what about the balance sheet?
The major concern is obviously the debt, which Javier Faus said was "the biggest in the club's history." We've not been given the full details yet, but the adjusted figure released by the club was gross debt of €552 million (net debt €442 million). However, we do know that this represents total liabilities and is thus misleadingly high, as it includes trade creditors, accruals and even provisions. In fact, Rosell and his cohorts should be ashamed of this needless scaremongering, which is not consistent with standard accounting practice – or, indeed, UEFA's definition, which explicitly states, "net debt does not include trade or other payables."
As an example of how absurd the total liabilities definition is, just look at how high other clubs' gross debt would be using this measure: Real Madrid €683 million, Liverpool €578 million and Manchester United €1.1 billion. Even Arsenal, which is regarded as the template for financial sustainability, would have "debt" of €767 million (though it's come down a lot since the last annual accounts). This places Barcelona's €552 million firmly into context. To use an old adage, you have to compare apples with apples.
Under UK accounting practice, net debt includes bank overdrafts and loans, owner and/or related party loans and finance leases less cash and cash equivalents. Under this definition, Barcelona's net debt in last year's accounts was actually only €20 million, compared to Rosell's total liabilities of €489 million.
The truth is that Barcelona's real debt lies somewhere between the narrow UK accounting definition and the new board's widest possible measure.
"Keep your eye on the ball"
In fact, UEFA's definition of net debt also includes the net balance owed on player transfers, which is probably the most reasonable approach to take, as this is an important part of Barcelona's business model. Again, we have no way of knowing how much Barcelona owe to clubs for other players, though last year's books included just under €90 million. This is why Laporta could truthfully claim last year that "the ultimate proof that Barca has a solid economic base is that we didn't have to make any new debts when signing new players this summer", as he was only referring to bank loans. However, this is not the whole story if money is still owed to other clubs on those transfers.
Whichever way you look at this, what is very clear is that net debt has increased by well over €100 million in a year, which is obviously not something to be proud of. The previous board gave two reasons for this significant increase: €65 million for outstanding taxes and €60 million for the transfers of Ibrahimovic, Villa and Chygrynskiy.
Since the accounts were closed, Barcelona have secured an additional €155 million loan from a group of banks led by La Caixa and Banco Santander, but this is unlikely to have greatly increased their total debt, as my guess is that this was largely used to pay off existing liabilities like the tax bill and some transfer payables. It would make sense for them to pay off short-term liabilities with longer-term debt. Often, when clubs have problems with debt, it's not so much the magnitude that's the issue, but the timing of the repayments. That's why Arsenal's long-term debt is not a concern, but Liverpool's short-term debt is.
Even with this new credit, Barcelona's bank loans are relatively low. Laporta's AGM presentation gave a figure of €114 million, though for some reason this included a €57 million tax credit, so presumably the real bank loan was (coincidentally) €57 million. If the additional €155 million were to be added to that, the total bank loans would be €212 million. This is all speculative in the absence of a detailed balance sheet, but the point is that such a bank loan is eminently serviceable with annual revenue of over €400 million.
This has effectively been confirmed by Rosell, "The club is not bankrupt, because it generates income. The banks know that we have a business plan that will allow them to recover the money." That confidence is supported by the club's recent record, as it made profits six years in a row before this year's loss. Faus confirmed that this is "not a dramatic issue", as Barcelona has hidden assets worth over €250 million that are not reflected in the balance sheet, such as youth players and real estate. He also pointed out that the club has on its books the best player in the world plus eight players who have been world cup winners, so it's not all doom and gloom.
The reality is that Barcelona can always tap into credit from Spanish banks. You simply cannot imagine a scenario where a local financial institution would be responsible for making the emblem of Catalonia bankrupt, given that its customer base is largely made up of the club's supporters. Indeed, this loan has been given at a very low rate of interest (Euribor plus 2.5%, by all accounts), which indicates the positive credit rating that the club still enjoys with the banks, though this may well be a "friendly", somewhat political rate.
On the other hand, there has to be some concern that the club is experiencing any financial problems at all after two years of fantastic success on the pitch, especially as so many of the first-team has emerged from their own academy (the famous La Masia). It makes you wonder what would happen to their numbers if the team suddenly stopped performing. Then, there are the generic economic difficulties in Spain, as the country faces one of the worst recessions in Europe with spiraling unemployment and a genuine credit crunch.
"Shout, shout, let it all out"
This is epitomised by the problems affecting Mediapro, who have a seven-year deal, due to expire in 2013, worth over €1 billion for Barcelona's TV rights. These are so severe that the company has sought bankruptcy protection over a dispute with Sogecable, who, you might remember, are also in litigation with Barcelona. Last year, Laporta described the agreement with Mediapro as "the best contract on the market" regarding TV rights, but Rosell might well disagree. Although the new president said that Barcelona had been given assurances that the money would be paid, this was only a "verbal guarantee of payment", unlike the bank guarantee supporting Real Madrid's contract with Mediapro. If that's true, that's astonishingly inept.
However, in the event that Mediapro went under, "the cancelling of the contract would be immediate" and it is difficult to believe that another television channel would not want Barcelona's broadcasting rights. They might pay less, but it is extremely unlikely that the club's TV revenue would disappear altogether.
Of course, there's a broader danger here, as the other clubs in La Liga attempt to implement collective bargaining with the potential negative implications for the business models of the "big two". Clearly, both Barcelona and Real Madrid will resist this with all their might, as it would obviously mean a hefty reduction in their revenue, but such a change might not be catastrophic.
"How do you spell DNA?"
First, even with the Premier League's collective model, the big clubs still enjoy by far the highest share of the total pool, as the distribution model is geared towards those finishing higher and the number of times a team is shown live on television (inevitably the top clubs). Second, if the Spanish league becomes more competitive, then it may become a more marketable product globally, which would increase the fees paid for overseas rights. Indeed, Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has already been pushing for an earlier kick-off for some La Liga games, so that they are more convenient for Asian TV audiences, "The change is vital if the Spanish league is to compete with the English."
But are Barcelona too dependent on TV revenue? Well, it's definitely very important, but it actually accounts for only 39% of their total income. As a comparison, only three clubs in the Premier League have a better (lower) proportion than that: Arsenal 34%, Manchester United 36% and Chelsea 38%. In fact, Barcelona enjoy a very balanced mix of revenue: television €151 million, commercial €121 million and match day €116 million. So, even if they were to lose 100% of their TV income (hardly a realistic assumption), they would still receive €237 million, which is not much less than clubs like Chelsea (€248 million) and Arsenal (€270 million).
The club's revenue growth has been mightily impressive, up from €123 million in 2003 to €387 million in 2010. So their revenue has more than tripled in seven years with Xavier Sala i Martin describing this year's revenue as "the largest income of any club in the world including the United States." However, as the old saying goes, "turnover is vanity, profit is sanity."
"Say hello, wave goodbye"
That's absolutely correct, but another expression is even more important, namely "cash is king". The reason why companies fail is cash flow problems. It does not matter how large your revenue (or profits are), if you do not have the cash to pay suppliers, the tax man or your players, then you are going to hit the rocks. In Barcelona's case, the latest cash flow statement we have is from the 2008/09 accounts and this did not indicate any difficulties. There was a net cash inflow of €6 million, entirely consistent with the €7m reported profit, with net financing of only €16 million (the €29 million bank loan less €13 million repayments).
It does not take a genius to realise that there must have been a degree of financial mismanagement, if not downright incompetence, over the last 12 months, if you move so far from that healthy position that you need to take out a loan in order to pay your players. OK, this was exacerbated by the fact that Barcelona pay their players' salaries twice a year, and this July's payment was inflated by the high bonus payments, but even so.
The club's cash flow predicament may have been brought about by doubts over when the Mediapro payments would be received (40% of the annual fee is due at the beginning of the season), but frankly it could have been for any number of reasons.
"Laporta warmly welcomes Rosell"
Some have speculated that Laporta only left Rosell enough funds to either make the payroll or buy new players, but not both, thus forcing the new president to not make any marquee signings in his first summer. Others have attributed the shortfall to the purchase of David Villa, when Barcelona for once had to pay the entire transfer fee upfront, due to Valencia's own financial travails. On the other hand, some have claimed that the liquidity crisis was caused by Rosell's decision to cancel the scheduled price rise in season tickets, as the previous board's (unpublicised) request for a bank loan had assumed this additional revenue as part of their business plan. This meant that Rosell had to re-submit a modified loan request.
It has surely become obvious by now that there is more than a hint of politics in this whole mess with FC Barcelona caught in the middle of a deeply personal battle between the incoming and outgoing presidents. Although Laporta and Rosell were colleagues on the board between 2003 and 2005, they have famously fallen out and now only communicate through lawyers. Rosell was elected on a platform of sorting out the financials, so he is hardly going to say that everything is "hunky dory" once he's put his feet under the desk. Having said that, it is equally clear that Laporta would like to go out with a bang: financial stability as well as sporting success.
"Yes! We've been paid!"
To my mind, the generous provisions made by Rosell smack of what the Americans call "big bath" accounting, which is a very common occurrence in the business world. What happens is the newly appointed CEO attempts to get all the bad news out of the way in his early days, which has two advantages. First, he can blame any problems on his predecessor; second, it gives him a lot of flexibility to demonstrate future profit improvements, as and when the provisions are released. We have seen many examples of this in the banking sector, but we don't have to go that far to see a precedent: this is exactly what happened in 2003 the last time that there was a change in Barcelona's president. This may be overly cynical, but it would not surprise me at all if Rosell painted a very different picture in 12 months time (after the first glorious year of his presidency).
Although Laporta has not responded publicly to the accusations made by the new board, perhaps mindful of his ambitions in regional politics, one of his former deputies, Xavier Sala i Martin, has said plenty, including an ironic analogy for the accounting adjustments where he thought that the new board should take the credit for the 2009/10 La Liga triumph, as the trophy had not yet been delivered. This is possibly a bit harsh on Rosell, who did after all gain a resounding majority of members' votes in the presidential election, but the former treasurer went further, claiming that this might be an elaborate plan for the new board to make excessive profits in their first year, which would apparently allow them to get back the enormous bank guarantees deposited as part of the presidential campaign. I have no idea whether this is true, but it certainly demonstrates the level of antipathy between the two sides.
In fact, there have been so many contradictory statements coming out of Barcelona, that it's almost impossible to distinguish the wheat from the chaff. How can a club need a €150 million loan to pay its wages, but the next minute also have a transfer budget of €50 million (sorry, €89 million after player sales)? That's some transfer pot for a club with cash flow problems. Until we can examine the comprehensive financial statements, it's difficult to get to the bottom of this, but something doesn't add up.
"I'm heading that way"
What is clear is that Barcelona need to somehow improve their financials. The most immediate action should be to cut costs and they have plenty of scope to do this with a couple of obvious targets. They have already started the process of reducing the enormous wage bill by offloading Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez to the New York Red Bulls and selling Chygrynskiy to Shakhtar and Yaya Toure to Manchester City. The latter two sales also provided the double whammy of bringing in €39 million of sale proceeds. There may be more to come here with Alex Hleb and Martin Caceres likely to go on loan, though it now seems unlikely that the high-earning Ibra will leave this summer.
It's also surely not beyond the club to negotiate a bonus scheme that pays out less than the additional revenue generated from any success. Portsmouth also fell into the trap of losing money after their FA Cup win, but you would hope that Barcelona's executives were slightly more competent than the miserable shower at "pay up" Pompey.
On the revenue side, they could re-introduce the idea to increase season ticket prices, though this would admittedly be tricky in the current economic climate, especially as the stadium is already not filled to capacity.
But there is a far more obvious opportunity in commercial revenue, where the club has already agreed that there is "scope for future growth." In particular, they could sign a lucrative sponsorship deal. Barcelona have famously never had a shirt sponsor, instead paying UNICEF for the privilege of having their name on the kit, but Rosell has already raised this idea during the election campaign. As a comparison, Real Madrid receive €20 million a year for shirt sponsorship, while Liverpool have secured a €24 million deal, despite their decline. I would think that Barcelona could charge a premium for the privilege of being the first corporate name on the blaugrana shirt, so this could be worth €25-30 million.
"We've got Cesc Fabregas"
Of course, there are many that would like to see Barcelona fail after their unseemly pursuit of Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas, which has dominated this summer's transfer talk. This culminated in an extraordinary statement last week, where they admitted that none of their bids "exceeded €40 million", which is either massive disrespect to a player of Cesc's talent or demonstrated a new-found sense of financial prudence. Take your pick.
In a way, the desire for Barcelona's future prospects to be hamstrung by financial woes is perfectly understandable, as they have undoubtedly sullied their saintly image with their constant tapping-up and inability to shut up about Cesc's Barcelona DNA, but it looks like reports of their demise might be a little premature. After all, if things get really desperate, they could always raise €100 million by selling Messi.
So are Barcelona going bankrupt? No way, José.

As we are on the verge of a blizzard again (starting sometime this afternoon) and since salt will be used to melt the snow, it reminded me that we should look at its various types and their role in cooking. Salt is the oldest known spice, its flavor is versatile, it is a staple of cooks and bakers.
What's Cooking America describes its uses:
Enhancing almost every dish, salt is added to breads, meats, fruits and vegetables to sauces and desserts.
Additionally, salt aids foods in a variety of ways like:
Preservation – helps protect against microorganisms, bacteria through dehydration and preventing growth of bacteria, which slows or prevents spoilage.
Texture Aid – in bread making, allows the dough to rise by giving helping the gluten hold more water and carbon dioxide. In meats it improves tenderness and in cheeses it aids in consistency of the cheese and the hardness of the rind.
Binder – in processed meats it helps retain water which reduces the loss of meat when cooking.
Color Developer – in processed meats it helps obtain the desired color. It also helps create a golden crust for breads.
Fermentation Control – slows and controls the fermentation process in:
- Pickling
- Cheese production
- Sauerkraut production
- Summer sausage production
The Food Network, talks about the three main types:
What is the difference between kosher salt, sea salt, and table salt?
For the cook's purposes, the main difference between salts is in their texture. Table salt's fine granules dissolve quickly, making it the preferred salt of bakers. Sea salt and kosher salt possess larger, irregular grains that add a delightful crunch and hit of briny flavor when sprinkled on food at the last minute. Generally, savvy cooks prefer kosher salt when cooking, since its coarse texture is easier to take a pinch of when seasoning savory dishes.
Chemically there is little difference between kitchen salts. All are at least 97 1/2 percent sodium chloride. But there are significant differences in the provenance and processing of these salts.
Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits, and includes a small portion of calcium silicate, an anti-caking agent added to prevent clumping. It possesses very fine crystals and a sharp taste. Because of its fine grain a single teaspoon of table salt contains more salt than a tablespoon of kosher or sea salt.
Sea salt is harvested from evaporated seawater and receives little or no processing, leaving intact the minerals from the water it came from. These minerals flavor and color the salt slightly. However, because these salts are usually expensive, it is worth keeping in mind that they lose their unique flavor when cooked or dissolved.
Kosher salt takes its name from its use in the koshering process. It contains no preservatives and can be derived from either seawater or underground sources. Aside from being a great salt to keep within arm's reach when you are cooking, it is particularly useful in preserving, because its large crystals draw moisture out of meats and other foods more effectively than other salts.
Since lately we've talking about cheese, I thought I should post here one of my favorite adapted Foodista pasta recipes, Potato Gnocchi with Walnut Sauce:
Gnocchi Di Patate Con Salsa Di Noci (adapted)
- 7 ozs walnuts
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 handful parsley leaves
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper
- 1 dinner roll or slice of bread, crust removed
- 1 cup milk
- olive oil
- grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon unflavored yogurt
- cream or half and half
- Put 7 ozs of walnuts, a clove of garlic a handful of parsley, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper in a food processor. Process until you have a rough paste. Then add a dinner roll or thick slice of bread, with the crust removed, soaked in milk and squeezed dry, olive oil, grated parmesan cheese and tablespoon of unflavored yogurt. Start processing and, as the you process, add either milk, cream or 'half-and-half' through the funnel until the mixture forms a fairly smooth sauce.
- Take your gnocchi and boil them in well salted water until they come to the surface of the water. Transfer them from the water with a slotted spoon into a large bowl, add a generous dollop of the walnut sauce, some more grated cheese and, if you like–although some sources call it heresy–a nut of butter. Mix gently with a spatula, adding a bit of the pasta water to thin out the sauce if need be. Serve immediately with additional grated cheese for those who want it.
I've made this a few times and I can assure you it is absolutely delicious!
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

Mom: Accused boy, 12, 'could never' hurt sister
VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - A day before a 12-year-old boy was arrested for the stabbing death of his 8-year-old sister, his mother described him as "protective" of his younger sibling.
Leila Fowler's killing last month shook the quiet community of Valley Springs, southeast of Sacramento, and set off an intense manhunt. Her brother was in the home at the time and told police he saw a man run from the scene.
Days later, the boy appeared with his father and stepmother at a vigil for his sister. On Friday, as speculation in the community built that perhaps the boy was involved, his biological mother told Sacramento television station KOVR her son "could never hurt his sister."
"I've never seen him be mean to her," said Priscilla Rodriquez.
Less than a day later, police delivered the stunning news: The 12-year-old boy had been arrested and will be charged with homicide.
For a community still reeling from the killing, the news was another blow.
"It's bad enough to lose a child. I can't imagine losing a child by one of my own children," said Patti Campbell, a longtime area resident and owner of Campbell's Country Kitchen.
Campbell, a resident of the area for 33 years and the operator of the Valley Springs restaurant for 15 of them, said she had served Leila and her family in her restaurant.
"It's just shocking. I don't know what else to say," Campbell said.
Other residents in the community of about 7,400 people expressed similar feelings of disbelief.
"I did not want to believe it. You kind of thought so, but it's not something you want to believe," resident Tammy Ainsworth told Sacramento's KCRA-TV.
Aaron Plunk, a neighbor of Fowler's, said the arrest was staggering but he could rest easier now. He said he and his family had been extra vigilant about locking windows and doors, even though the street was being closely guarded by deputies.
"I think we were the safest house in the county," Plunk told the Modesto Bee.
Plunk's mother, Carla Plunk, said she had been scared enough to arm herself.
"It the first time I ever held a gun," she said.
Calaveras Unified School District Superintendent Mark Campbell said counselors will be available Monday at all schools.
The district "stands ready to provide whatever level of support and assistance is necessary to the Fowler family" and the community at large, he said Sunday.
Police released no information about what led them to arrest the unidentified 12-year-old for the April 27 attack. Following the crime, investigators did a door-to-door sweep of homes, storage sheds and horse stables scattered across the oak-studded hills foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Divers also searched two nearby reservoirs in search of clues.
Leila's brother told police he found his sister's body and encountered an intruder in the home while their parents were at a Little League game. He described the man as tall with long gray hair. A neighbor told detectives she saw a man flee the home, but she later recanted the story.
Police said there was no sign of a burglary or robbery. As part of the investigation, authorities seized several knives from the Fowler home, where Leila lived with her father, stepmother and siblings.
Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz said authorities spent more than 2,000 hours on the investigation before they arrested the boy at 5:10 p.m. Saturday.

Coca-Cola to address obesity for first time in ads
NEW YORK (AP) - Coca-Cola became one of the world's most powerful brands by equating its soft drinks with happiness. Now it's taking to the airwaves for the first time to address a growing cloud over the industry: obesity....
NEW YORK (AP) — Coca-Cola became one of the world's most powerful brands by equating its soft drinks with happiness. Now it's taking to the airwaves for the first time to address a growing cloud over the industry: obesity.
The Atlanta-based company on Monday will begin airing a two-minute spot during the highest-rated shows on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC in hopes of becoming a stronger voice in the intensifying debate over sodas and their impact on public health. The ad lays out Coca-Cola's record of providing drinks with fewer calories over the years and notes that weight gain is the result of consuming too many calories of any kind — not just soda.
Coca-Cola says the campaign will kick off a variety of moves that help address obesity in the year ahead, such as providing more diet options at soda fountains.
For Coca-Cola, the world's No. 1 beverage company, the ads reflect the mounting pressures on the broader industry. Later this year, New York City is set to put into effect a first-in-the-nation cap on the size of soft drinks sold at restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas and other venues. The mayor of Cambridge, Mass., has already proposed a similar measure, saying she was inspired by New York's move.
And when PepsiCo Inc., the No. 2 soda maker, recently signed a wide-ranging endorsement deal with pop singer Beyonce, critics called for the singer to drop the contract or donate the funds to groups that fund health initiatives.
Diana Garza Ciarlante, a spokeswoman for Coca-Cola Co., said the new ads aren't a reaction to any negative public sentiment but that the company felt it needed to address "the issue of the times" and be part of the discussion on obesity.
"We have not done a good enough job in telling our story and being consistent in telling our story," she said, noting the company had to be careful in its messaging to remain consistent with its brand voice and avoid sounding "preachy."
A 30-second ad, which will run later this week during "American Idol" and before the Super Bowl, is much more reminiscent of catchy, upbeat advertising people have come to expect from Coca-Cola. It features a montage of activities that add up to burning off the "140 happy calories" in a can of Coke: walking a dog, dancing, sharing a laugh with friends and doing a victory dance after bowling a strike.
Garza Ciarlante said the ad, a version of which ran in Brazil last month, is intended to address the widespread confusion about the number of calories in soda. She said the company's consumer research showed people thought there were as many as 900 calories in a can of soda.
Garza Ciarlante declined to give details on the actions Coca-Cola has planned for the year ahead. But among the options under consideration is putting the amount of activity needed to burn off the calories in a drink on cans and bottles.
Coca-Cola notes it has already made several moves to help customers make smarter choices, such as putting calorie counts on the front of its cans and bottles in the U.S. Last year, it also started posting calorie information on its vending machines ahead of a regulation that will require soda companies to do so by 2014.
Public concern over calories counts is apparent in Coca-Cola's business. In North America, all the growth in its soda business over the past 15 years has come from low- and no-calorie drinks, such as Coke Zero. Diet sodas now account for nearly a third of its sales in the U.S. and Canada. Other beverages, such as sports drinks and bottled water, are also fueling growth.
Even with the growing popularity of diet sodas, however, overall soda consumption in the U.S. has declined steadily since 1998, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest.

I love the details: the bias band across the bodice, boned bodice, structured bra cups, removable halter strap, sarong skirt, and elastic shirring. So I designed a pattern to these exact specifications. Here's the line drawing.
As you can see, there's a full-skirted version in addition to the sarong version.
The second pattern is very different: lingerie!
B6031 was inspired by vintage lingerie, but is made in modern stretch fabrics. As much as I love the look of vintage slips, I find the nylon fabric they're made of to be sticky and uncomfortable.
So I designed something similar in matte jersey. This is an entire lingerie set with slip, camisole in 2 lengths, and panties.

I've been reading The Reader, hoping to compare the novel and its movie version on this site, but Anthony Lane's New Yorker review of the film summed up my view of the book in a sentence. Lane suggests that idea of dramatizing this tale — "a low-grade musing on atrocity, garnished with erotic titillation" — was "pernicious from the start." Novelist Bernhard Schlink describes a postwar love affair between a German schoolboy and an illiterate woman who had worked as an S.S. guard at a concentration camp.
"Imprisoned for life, Hanna must read to herself, but are we really supposed to be moved by the thought—or now, in [Stephen] Daldry's film, by the sight—of an unrepentant Nazi parsing Chekhov?" Lane asks. "That is not culturally nourishing; it is morally famished."
On The Charlie Rose Show, Daldry and screenwriter David Hare argued that The Reader is a fable and that the affair between young Michael and Hanna is a metaphor for Germany's romance with Nazism. But balsa-wood scaffolding of the novel can't support the weight of that claim. It hardly helped that Daldry kept saying that Germany is the only recent perpetrator of genocide (which might surprise the Kurds, the Tutsis, and others). Rose has done thoughtful interviews with writers and others. But his obsequious failure to challenge Daldry on the claim that only Germany had committed genocide made his show sound at times like public television's version of Access Hollywood.

Mitt Romney take note. A lot can change in a month.
On August 3, George Washington held a commanding lead in the 2012 presidents race standings; but that was before Abraham Lincoln went on his trademark late summer tear. A winless month left the father of our country mired in third place, riding the second longest losing streak in presidents race history.
Alas, Teddy Roosevelt's record remains safe for now, as the Labor Day crowd saw Washington win his first presidents race in over a month to keep the season standings tight heading into the final weeks of the season.
Tight, that is, for everybody except Teddy Roosevelt.
