Buzz is enslaved today, shackled to our desk, too busy to deal with dogma or theology, but real quick, here goes: Ten things that appeal to us about Pope Francis, pictured above...
1. Can dance the tango. Could John Paul II do that? Huh? Could he?
2. Takes the bus as Buzz is wont to do. (Make that took the bus. In Rome he will probably have to kick that habit.)
3. Likes to cook!4. Is old. Buzz did not want a young hipster as pope.
5. Is not afraid to speak of the devil.
6. Is a Jesuit. Thanks to Canisius College Buffalonians know a thing or two about Jesuits and we may pontificate freely in the public square to our brethren who are not as fortunate.
7. People from Argentina are cool.
8. As is the name Jorge.
9. This paragraph from the Washington Post's website: "Francis thinks some art does not deserve to be shown. He successfully helped shut down an exhibit of works by Argentinian artist Leon Ferrari that showed Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and Catholic saints in unusual settings, like a blender and a frying pan. Francis deemed the exhibit "blasphemous" and called for a day of reparation in response." A day of reparation! Buzz loves that.
10. Mention of dogma reminds us, looking up to see who shares Pope Francis' birthday (Dec. 17) we found this delightful being: "Benedictine, a St. Bernard, full name Benedictine Daily Double, becomes heaviest known dog, 367 lbs (166.4 kg), lived until the age of 14." Benedictine was born Dec. 17, 1970. Pope Francis was born Dec. 17, 1936.
There! That was easy!
We should come up with 10 more!

Valparaiso at Miami Men's Basketball Game Notes
Related Links
Friday, December 12, 2008
Game #9 - Valparaiso at Miami - Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 3 p.m. CST
The Matchup: Valparaiso plays its first non-league road game
of the 2008-09 campaign on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Oxford,
Ohio to take on Miami in a return game from last year's epic ESPNU
BracketBusters matchup. The Crusaders have lost in four of their last
five games, while Miami has won four of its last five.
Either Hot or Cold: The Valparaiso offense hasn't had much
in-between so far in the 2008-09 season. Four out of their first eight
games, the Crusaders have hit better than 45% of their shots from the
field, going 3-1 in those contests. But three times, Valpo has shot
worse than 32%, including last time out against IPFW, resulting in its
three double-digit losses.
The Un-Masked Man: Playing without his trademark mask this season, senior guard Jake Diebler has continued to play his trademark style of basketball in his final year. Diebler nearly put up a new career high last Thursday at Youngstown State, matching his career best with four triples on his way to 15 points. The Upper Sandusky, Ohio native currently has an assist/turnover ratio of 1.8 on the season and owns the team lead with 13 steals.
Little Registers New Career Best: Sophomore guard Howard Little became the fifth different player to lead Valpo in scoring in its first six games and the seventh different Crusader to reach double figures at Cleveland State last Tuesday. Little knocked down a career-high six field goals en route to a new career-best 14 points, 12 of which came in the second half. The sophomore is currently third on the team in scoring (8.4 ppg) after putting up a team-high 11 points last time out against IPFW and second in rebounding (5.0 rpg)
Rogers Produces Night After Night: Sophomore guard Michael Rogers has stepped into a regular starting role this year after starting each of the last nine games of the season as a freshman. The 6'5" Jamaican is currently second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.6 ppg, and has scored at least eight points in seven of Valpo's eight games. He also has been a force on the boards, currently ranking third on the Crusaders with 4.8 rpg.
B-Mac Recovering: Valpo senior guard Brandon McPherson is the only Crusader not to see playing time yet this season as he continues to recuperate from offseason surgery. McPherson averaged double figures in scoring for the second straight year last season, putting up 10.1 points per game, and currently ranks ninth in Valpo history in 3-point percentage and 17th in assists.

GOODYEAR, ARIZ.: Reporters covering the Indians were outnumbered 5-1 by a contingent of 20 Japanese media members, who crowded into the spring training complex to cover the big story of the day.
What was so important to bring together so many print and electronic reporters from Asia? The Indians announced early Wednesday morning that they had formally signed Daisuke Matsuzaka to a minor-league contract that included an invitation to major-league training camp.
Hardly earth-shaking news to 90 percent of the baseball world but enough to make headlines in Japan. It was no secret that the team had done a deal. But officially, it didn't count until Matsuzaka passed a physical.
As if to validate the physical, Matsuzaka threw his first bullpen session of the spring in the cool, sunny Arizona air.
"They told me to keep it light and focus on my mechanics," Matsuzaka said through his translator, Jeff Cutler.
At this early juncture, nobody in authority for the Tribe is keeping score of Matsuzaka's performance level.
"I thought for a first bullpen, it was crisp," said manager Terry Francona, who urged the club to sign Matsuzaka. "He showed some real good maturity, and I thought he looked in real good shape."
Francona knows Matsuzaka better than anyone in camp after managing him for five years with the Boston Red Sox.
"He looked [today] like he looks when he's healthy," Francona said. "But it's his first bullpen, so you don't want to evaluate him. I remember his first spring. I felt sorry for him. Every time he gave up a hit, he had to account for it [to the media]."
"We have to be cautious in making any evaluations," General Manager Chris Antonetti said. "The most important thing is that he's healthy and that he goes through his spring training progressions. When he's been healthy, Daisuke has been a good pitcher here and in Japan."
Good health to Matsuzaka refers to his surgically repaired right elbow. He began to feel pain in the elbow in 2009 and underwent an operation to reconstruct the joint in 2011. He returned to the Red Sox last year and went 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA, a far cry from his combined numbers of 2007-2008, when he was 33-15 with a 3.72 ERA.
Matsuzaka's departure from Japan and his arrival in Boston (for $52 million) was national news in 2007. But that was a long time ago. His mission now is to resurrect his career and try to earn a spot in the Tribe's rotation. It won't be easy.
Four pitchers have been anointed starters already: Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Brett Myers and Zach McAllister. Carlos Carrasco, like Matsuzaka, coming off Tommy John elbow surgery, is considered the favorite to win the fifth-and-final berth.
Beyond these five are Scott Kazmir, Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer, the prodigy obtained from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the winter. David Huff might even be in the mix, though it appears that the Tribe is inclined to turn him into reliever.
"I am going into camp with no guarantees," Matsuzaka said. "This will be my first such experience as a professional, and it's definitely a new feeling. But they are giving me an opportunity."
Matsuzaka said he talked to three teams when it became clear the Red Sox did not want him back.
"It came down to me wanting to pitch for an American League team, and I wanted to pitch against Boston," he said. "I also wanted to pitch for Tito [Francona]. I met with him yesterday. Tito smiled. He brings a calm to me."
Matsuzaka wanted to pitch against the Red Sox? Is his motivation revenge?
"Last season, when I went back to the Red Sox, [he and other players] used to talk about me coming back and pitching against them," Matsuzaka said. "We were just having a good laugh, but now that it can be a reality, it will be a good time."
Matsuzaka doesn't plan to change the way he pitches, but one thing definitely will be different.
"I've been throwing in pain for quite awhile," he said. "Now, it's important for me to get used to throwing without pain. That might take some time. But without pain, I should be the pitcher I was in the past."
When Matsuzaka returned to the mound last year, he wasn't quite sure how his arm would react and was keenly aware of every sensation he felt, real or imagined.
"Right now, I have no concerns," he said. "But coming back from Tommy John last year was a constant battle. People told me that I was fine, but I was trying to find out what my body could do and what condition I was in."
Matsuzaka thinks that the uncertainty has ended and that this clarity will put him back in the big leagues to stay.

Letters from Victorian Pioneers. T. Bride. 1898. In 1853 Lieutenant-Governor La Trobe addressed a circular letter to a number of early settlers requesting information as to the time and circumstances of the first occupation of various parts of the colony.
This book is a collection of those responses to that circular.The 58 letters record events which will recall to many persons still living old Victorian memories, and will have a great value for the future historian of Victoria, as narrating the experiences of actual movers in the early scenes of our colonization, while they will also possess interest as incidental contributions to the biographies of the men who half a century ago began to encounter the hardships and perils which beset the pioneer in every part of this continent.""These papers also contain interesting contributions to our knowledge of the aborigines?their languages, customs, and conflicts with the white men ; and although some of the incidents narrated have found their way into print before, they are now for the first time given in their entirety to the public."Includes fold out map - "Rough Sketch of the PORT PHILLIP COUNTRY"Contents 1.

The Safety Standards Maze, 3 Comments: More Standards, Validation
A frequent question raised by industry is where can I go to get a comprehensive listing and understanding of machine safety standards?
Most often it seems that awareness of certain safety standards are developed over time within any one company. Influences have come from knowledge on the part of individual employees, references from suppliers, educational seminars, OSHA, and more……..but there's no one place anyone can go to research their safety standards. Like, a data base that's both current and offers comprehensive information about all U.S. standards that apply to given applications. Even OSHA's regulations don't cover all machine safety applications so they reserve the right to reference industry (consensus) standards when needed.
With this said - industry seems left to do their own research and define the standards they will choose to build their safety strategy around. To help industry work their "maze", consultants have come to their rescue. Yet, in today's 4G internet world you'd think someone would have built an application based machine safety standards library.
Please - let us geeks know where we can go on the internet to make this maze a "walk in the park"?

My industry, Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, has been writing and proliferating safety guidelines for years through our industry organization SEMI. Our equipment has various hazards: electrical, mechanical, chemical, in short almost every hazard is present in a semiconducotr "fab" and there was no off-the-shelf standard so we created one. We refence ISO, NFPA, JIS and other standards around the world so key data are available in one place. Several Third Parties participate as well, bringing their expertise and tacit validation to the process.

there are three types of standards: A for basic safety standards (giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that can be applied to all machinery), B for generic safety standards (dealing with one safety aspect or one type of safeguard), and C for machine safety standards (dealing with detailed safety requirements). There are two type A standards that I know: ISO 12100-1 and ISO 12100-2. These I assume are the core in safety. Others such as IEC 60204 Safety of machinery Electrical equipment of machines are type B standards. And others are somewhere between type B and C, namely IEC 61511, IEC 61508. There is also a directive called 98/37/EB, and also other continent standards. The standards are not necessary intrincically dodgy…

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The Tribune-Star
In Kenya, purified water is not always readily available.
But sunshine is.
A group of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology students has created a device that fills that void by harvesting solar energy to pasteurize and filter drinking water.
"Purified water is a big problem, as two thirds of Kenya lies in an arid or semi-arid area," said Francis Kimani Mbugua, a sophomore geography exchange student from Egerton University in Kenya, who provided Rose students insight into the cultural and geographic aspects of Kenya. "Most water comes from rivers or lakes. Children often drink directly from the lake or river with no purification."
As part of the water purification process, Rose students built a three-legged wooden frame to hold two plastic buckets. One bucket is filled with pea gravel, coarse sand and fine sand.
That bucket is then filled with water, such as from a river or lake. The filtered water drains from holes at the bottom of the bucket.
The water then goes into a second bucket, where it is drained into a garden hose that connects to a 10-foot long galvanized steel pipe.
Around the pipe is an 8.5-foot-long, 47-inch wide solar collector. The solar energy heats the water up to 158 degrees (70 Celsius) to kill off bacteria, said Phillip Markison, student project manager and a sophomore from Marengo, Ill., who is majoring in mechanical engineering.
The water purification device was designed for a family of five, from materials easily obtained in Kenya. The device can purify 15 liters of water per day, "and we could probably get close to double or triple that," Markison said.
The device meets Environmental Protection Agency requirements for PH (a measure of acidity or basicity of water), lead, bacteria and water hardness, Markison said.
The sand filter in the bucket develops a bio layer that further helps filter out bacteria; however, that bio layer often takes 30 days to create. The solar collector allows for more pure water immediately, said Ashley Bernal, assistant professor of mechanical engineering.
Bernal was among a group of Rose-Hulman faculty members who visited Kenya last year.
"With this system, it could reduce the amount of water-borne diseases," Mbugua said after the student's presentation. "The application is quite simple for people to understand," he said, adding the cost is about $130 for materials. That cost could be lower simply by using sticks to construct a frame for the plastic buckets.
The device can also be built with simple hand tools, such a hand saw, hammer and hand drill, said Gunnar Horve, a sophomore from Clinton, Ill., who is majoring in mechanical engineering.
The water purification device is part of a new team-taught, 12-credit, design-build-communicate course focused on the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges. This challenge was to put solar energy to work economically. The students began work on the device on July 8.
Julian Sfeir, a junior from New Jersey majoring in mechanical engineering, said the students will next formulate an implementation plan and contact students at Egerton University (an agricultural university in Kenya), who can bring the device to their individual tribes.
Sfeir said students hope to collect data to determine longevity and determine repair costs for the device. The implementation plan includes contacting at least two organizations, such as WaterAid, an international nonprofit organization that seeks to provide safe domestic water in Africa, Asia and Central America.
"If we find that our product ends up being successful, we will be able to work with them, in the long term, to distribute it to other places in the world," Sfeir said.

Web Reporting with MySQL, CSS and Perl
In the March 2005 issue of Linux Journal, I used Maypole to create a Web-based database application in only 18 lines of Perl code. The functionality provided by Maypole is impressive except in one important area: reporting. Consequently, I started to research technologies for producing reports from my Soccer Club system. My goal was to provide a set of standard reports that could be executed from a Web interface.
Web reports can be produced in a lot of ways using any of the many server-side programming technologies, such as PHP, JSPs, Perl scripts and the like. Standalone desktop reporting tools also are available, and it's even possible to use OpenOffice.org to report on a MySQL database. As my reporting requirements are basic, however, I wanted to keep my intellectual effort to the minimum. What I didn't mind doing was spending time crafting the SQL queries that I'd need to produce my reports. Once written, I wanted my SQL query to produce an HTML table of results.
I can do this with Perl, of course, using the DBI and DBD::mysql modules, hand-crafting program code to send the query to the database. I then could post-process the results with more code, before—ultimately—writing yet more code to create the table. For my simple requirements, this felt like too much work. What I really wanted was a quick-and-dirty solution. In the remainder of this article, I detail the Web reporting solution I designed.
While browsing Paul DuBois' excellent MySQL Cookbook, I discovered a command-line option for turning the results of a command-line query into an HTML table (recipe 1.23, page 33). By way of example, consider the following command line:
mysql -e "select name from player" \ -u manager -ppwhere CLUB
which produces the following textual output when invoked:
+-------------+ |name | +-------------+ |Robert Plant | |Tim Finn | |James Taylor | |Bryan Adams | |Ian Gillen | |Mick Jagger | |Neil Young | |Bob Dylan | +-------------+
These results not only show the names of all of the players in the Soccer Club database, but they also appear to indicate that the club's players are named after some famous folk and rock singers. When re-run with the HTML creation option, like so:
mysql -H -e "select name from player" \ -u manager -ppwhere CLUB
the above command line produces the following, which, trust me, is an HTML table:

name

 Robert Plant

Tim Finn

James Taylor

Bryan Adams

Ian Gillen

 Mick Jagger

Neil Young

Bob Dylan

It is possible to put the SQL query into a file and then refer to the file on the command line. For example—and assuming the above query is in a file called name.sql—this command line produces the same HTML table:
mysql -H -u manager -ppwhere CLUB < name.sql
Knowing this much, I figured that if I could come up with a means of issuing the HTML-producing command line from a Web interface, I'd be most of the way toward providing my Web reporting solution. So, I wrote a small CGI script in Perl to execute the command line for me.
The strategy employed by my simple CGI script is straightforward: after determining the name of the query to execute, a command line is constructed and then issued by the CGI script. Any results produced from executing the command line are put inside the body part of the HTML page that the CGI script produces.
After the usual Perl startup lines, the runquery.cgi script starts by defining a series of constant values:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use constant MYSQL => '/usr/bin/mysql'; use constant USERID => 'manager'; use constant PASSWD => 'pwhere'; use constant DBNAME => 'CLUB';
The location for the MySQL client on your computer may be different from where I have mine, so change the MYSQL constant value if need be. Also, note that I'm hard-coding the values for the database user (USERID), the password (PASSWD) and the database that is to be queried against (DBNAME). Although this may not be the best practice, I am going to explain it away by saying that this is the dirty part of my quick-and-dirty solution. With the constants defined, I indicate that I'm going to use the standard interface to Perl's CGI programming technology:
use CGI qw( :standard );
Two Perl scalars then are defined, taking their value from any parameters passed from a Web interface to the CGI script. The first parameter, called query, identifies the SQL file to use, while the second, called title, provides a report title to use when displaying results:
my $query = param( 'query' ); my $title = param( 'title' );
The script then creates the command line that runs the query through the MySQL client program. Note that Perl's dot operator is used to concatenate strings:
my $cmdline = MYSQL . ' -H -u ' . USERID . ' -p' . PASSWD . ' ' . DBNAME . "< $query ";
The script then starts to build an HTML page. The header function generates the correct Content-Type header, and the start_html function starts to create the HTML page using the value provided for the page's title:
print header; print start_html( -title => $title );
The next line of code uses Perl's qx operator to execute the command line and return any resulting output from its execution to a variable, called $results:
my $results = qx/ $cmdline /;
The rest of the script adds an HTML level 3 heading to the Web page, together with the query results and an HTML link to the reports page. The end_html function finishes the HTML page generation and concludes the script:
print "
$title
"; print $results; print p, "Return to the ", a( { -href => "/Club/Reports.html" }, "List of Reports" ); print end_html;
Re:Web Reporting with MySQL, CSS and Perl
Hi Paul,
I thank you for your generous tip on how we can convert the mySQl results into html in a breezy way.
However I would like to know how I can produce results in html that looks much like command line client, that is the results is bordered by plus, pipe and dash symbols.
Pls advise
Thanks in advance
hy its realy v informative..i actually have to create web interface using perl..have made a database of hospitalsin SQL and now have to create web interface using perl and html..could u plz help me in that
Hi Paul
Tommy Burke from your 2004 Networking class here. Stumbled across this when re-searching a current reporting project for work. It has greatly helped me in getting a headstart on the code and the above makes it a hell of a lot easier to work with the query results rather than parsing through each rown and formatting them into a html page.. :-)
Now if i could only get these damn admins to install CGI,DBI and DBD:Mysql faster!!
Once more an excellent piece of work by you
Web Reporting with MySQL, CSS and Perl
Dear Barry,
The teaching style is simply marvelous.
You have consistently simplified a complex task by breaking it into small easy to follow steps.
Though I have no intentions of implementing such an arrangement, I read through the entire article as it easy easy to understand.
Nice comments, thanks!
Shucks ... I'm blushing. Very pleased you liked it.

A 19-year-old woman survived a night of brutality at the hands of her ex-boyfriend after he kicked down the door of her Evergreen Terrace apartment, police said.
Officers apprehended the woman's alleged attacker the next day as he was standing around outside the near west side apartment complex where they both live.
Mark Patton, 21, of 358 N. Broadway was charged with home invasion and domestic battery in connection with the alleged 7:30 p.m. Tuesday attack.

Patton's former girlfriend reportedly told police that after Patton kicked down her door, he proceeded to punch her about the face and body. He then kept her captive throughout the night and continued to hit her, police said. He also allegedly threatened to kill her.
At some point, a neighbor heard the young woman plead, "Stop hitting me," police said, and he called the police. Patton reportedly learned the law was on its way and he took off from the apartment.
After arriving at the apartment, officers reportedly saw bumps, bruises and scratches on the woman's body. The woman told officers Patton had beaten her five or six times in the past, but that she did not call the police because she was afraid he would kill her, said Chief Mike Trafton.
The next morning, the woman called the police and told them Patton was around. He was taken into custody near the corner of Broadway and Spring Street and was transported to the county jail.

|I had no trouble assembling or using this kegerator. The directions were helpful. The hoses were awkward to attach, but the hot water- as advised- helped. We love it! Every feature is as promised, delivery was as promised. Great service, great product!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.

|This baby is outstanding!!! I could tell as I took it out of the crate that it was built very well. It assembles in no time and everything works amazing. For anyone with foam problems, make sure your pressures and temperatures are in your carbonation range!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|A very nice cooler-dispenser

|a good looking kererator...love the s/s front. Plenty of room inside tho my 10# co2 tank won't fit in the metal band (for a 5# tank. Really like the digital readout of the temp. setting..one needs to be careful of the small parts. I nearly threw away one of the spacer-cushions for the feet of the chrome guardrail. it was caught in the foam wrapping of the guardrail. Definitely recommend the perlick taps..real quality here. Overall...a very nice kegerator, one you'll be happy to have...especially when the wife gets her refrigerator back.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Great kegerator

|I purchased this kegerator to replace a countertop height fridge that I had converted to a kegerator a few years back. After using the Kegco model now for a few weeks, the performance is well beyond what I had used in the past.
First thing to mention is the quick shipping. After placing the order I had the kegerator in 5 days. Installation was very easy and there are easy to understand directions on how to assemble the few things that need to be put together. Total assembly took less than an hour including the time to unbox everything.
I opted for the stainless steel tower to replace a chrome tower I already had and find the insulation is very good and helps minimize foaming on that first pour. The insulation is a foam rubber that wraps around the beer lines fairly tightly reducing the air space in the tower. I have consistently gotten excellent pours from this tower with the Perlick faucets I had already had.
The kegerator itself has nice touch controls right at the top of the front. First time plugging it in I noticed it cooled down to running temperature very quickly. Leaving it on overnight should be more than sufficient time to have it cold enough to handle your first keg. There is plenty of room inside and the shelf for the CO2 tank is nice for getting that out of the way.
All in all, I am very happy with this kegerator. It looks great and works extremely well. It definitely chills the kegs much better than my previous 'homemade' kegerator which results in very good pours with a proper head and not 3/4 glassfuls of foam. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great kegerator.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|wow this is a dream come true!

|Pros: everything!
Coins: nothing!
This product out of the box is amazing. Easy setup as well as great construction. The way it is designed the first poor is always cold due to the internal fan. With this product, you get what you pay for! Temp control is great and the chill function are flawless!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Fantastic Product! Amazing Company!
|Dan (10-25-2013)

|The kegerator is by far better than any I have owned. It's a solid build and the components supplied by Beverage Factory are top of the line. For example, when I brought the CO2 tank in to be filled, they commented on how great of a tank it was and how others who had purchased kegerators from other retailers have brought in tanks made in China with leaks and expired tank inspection stamps. The unit was a breeze to assemble and could be done by nearly anyone.
I had a slight issue with my CO2 regulator and called about it. A new regulator was sent out immediately, no questions asked. AMAZING customer service!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Great Value! Highly Recommended

|- Used in home bar
- Unit: (Pros)
- Overall: This unit is a great value. It's intended as a refrigerator type system, and it delivers on its purpose. It looks great, well designed, great fit and finish and stays at a constant temperature.
- Components: The additional components are of great quality. The lines, tower, couplers, regulator and CO2 tank are all top notch. We like the CO2 tank so much that we requested it be filled instead of replaced at our local welding facility.
- Assembly: We had this unit up and running in about 30 minutes after we filled the CO2 tank and bought the beer. The instructions were very easy to follow.
- Controls: The digital controls on the front of the unit are easily managed and readable. We are very glad that we decided on this feature.
- Performance: This thing consistently pours flawlessly. Once we dialed in the correct pressure with the chosen upgraded regulator (very nice!), we have been very pleased with the pints that we pour.
- Unit: (Cons)
- Drip Tray: The accompanied drip tray is a two-piece plastic unit that functions fine. We would love to have the option for a metal drip tray to be as nice as the rest of the unit.
- CO2 Tank Holder: The clip for the CO2 tank is a "Horseshoe" shaped metal band with small holes on each flared end. This design would be fine if there was a provided way to hold the flared ends somewhat together. My wife and I are using a simple nylon cord with a locking slide. (Think camping chair bag closure)
- Beverage Factory: (Pros)
- Overall: This has been one of the best buying experiences that my wife and I have ever had online or over the phone. Our representative was very knowledgeable. The majorly impressive thing was that when she was stumped by one of our questions, she took the initiative and called us back with an answer that day! From start to finish, Beverage Factory listened to our wants and needs, educated us on the best products and components and has followed up after the sale to make sure everything went smoothly.
- Beverage Factory: (Cons)
- Overall: None to report - this was an awesome experience!!!!
- Recommendation: If you are looking for a double tap unit that works for your home bar, kitchen, man cave or game room, the Kegco K309B-2 ROCKS!!!!! We would recommend upgrading the regulator to the pro unit and the tower/faucets to stainless steel. You will be happy that you did. All-in-all, we are very pleased and will be doing more business with Beverage Factory in the near future.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Brad (09-27-2013)

|This was a big purchase for me. Once I knew I was actually buying a fridge (as opposed to converting one) I decided to go ahead and get one that could fit multiple kegs with two faucets. Might as well right! Currently I have a slim quarter and a sixth installed with a little room to spare. I think I could fit 2 slim quarters as the inside of the door is recessed a little. From the outside it is about the size of a dishwasher.
It will take a few days to cool down completely, but then the ambient tempature inside will match the display. I keep it on 33°F with no problems. You can use deep chill for the first few hours when you first put a keg in. Also, you will be fiddling with the regulator some and opening the door alot makes it harder to get cool.
I installed this unit under my workbench in the garage and mounted the tower to my workbench surface. I used a 6" piece of 2" PVC as a spacer and used and upside down shower drain as a flange to attach to the fridge. Multiple lengths of screws are included. I also had just enough room to put foam insulation down inside the PVC around the beer lines. The tower includes nice rubber insulation as well.
Finally, I find it much easier to pour into a pitcher as opposed to straight into a pint glass. There will be a little foam as the beer in the lines in the tower will warm up just a little. It's not enough to tell a temperature difference, just enough to make some foam. I find it's best to "burp" the faucet twice (open/close quickly), then let it run into the pitcher. From there you can make a perfect pour into your frosty pint glass.
Here are my recommended upgrades:
Worm gear hose clamps on CO2 lines (auto parts store)
Dual gauge regulator with dual shutoff valves
Standard 'D' system sankey couplers
Stainless steel tower
Perlick 525SS faucets
Pressurized cleaning kit
Stainless steel drip tray
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Love this Kegerator
|C. Johnson (08-19-2013)
Valley, AZ
|I recently purchased this kegerator, I am thrilled with it! Easy to set up and pouring cold beer. I like my beer REALLY cold, this unit has an additional fan and digital display for accurate temperature. I am glad I was able to purchase a great unit with out having to spend a ton of money. I upgraded the regulator to a double gauge, I am not that close to an air and gas place, I would hate to run out.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|My friends are jealous!
|Brewmaster in Training (05-07-2013)
Yardley, PA
|I've been home brewing for a couple years and i got tired of bottling so I decided to give this kegerator a try. It is awesome! I set it up with a couple home brew kegs and now I can pour a glass at a time and it always comes out ice cold. I've found that I'm brewing more and experimenting with my recipes because I can have two kegs on tap and compare tastes right away. It's perfect for a home brewer like me.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.

Chris Smith, Forbes Staff
I cover the business of sports.
It'll be a quiet year for Cooperstown. Results of this year's MLB Hall of Fame writers' vote were released today and, as some predicted, none of the candidates reached the 75% of votes required for entry via the writers' ballot.
It's the first blank slate in nearly two decades, and it's especially stunning because Craig Biggio was on the ballot.
In 20 seasons with the Houston Astros, Biggio put put up over 3,000 hits, nearly 1,200 RBIs, more than 400 stolen bases and 668 doubles, good for fifth-most all-time. His career WAR according to Baseball Reference is 62.1, ranking 88th among position players and higher than those of Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Harmon Killebrew and Hank Greenberg. Fans who watched Biggio play will remember him for his rare combination of speed, power and an interminable work ethic constantly on display both at the plate and in the field.
Add it all together and you ought to have a surefire Hall-of-Famer, right?
Apparently not. Though Biggio received the most votes of anyone this year – 388 (68.2%) – the seven-time All Star will have to wait until 2014 for another shot at the hallowed Hall. One possible reason is that some voters may feel he's not worthy of first-ballot enshrinement, which seems like a rather silly notion unless Biggio is somehow capable of boosting his career numbers before next year's vote. The other excuse that baseball writers will have for exempting Biggio is equally ridiculous: he just played at the wrong time. The steroid era.
The list of those behind Biggio in this year's voting includes several of his contemporaries, all of whom were among the very best of their time: Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds. It's also a who's who of players suspected or accused of using steroids during their careers (Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa also appear further down the list). Biggio, to my knowledge, has never been linked to any serious accusations of drug use, but playing among the accused is apparently sufficient guilt.
In other words, the mere suspicion of steroid use is enough to deny a baseball player his rightful place in the Hall of Fame. It's a very problematic approach because, unless MLB has been hiding some extensive drug tests, we'll never know who was truly clean and who wasn't.
But even beyond that issue, I believe that Biggio, Bagwell, Piazza, Clemens and Bonds would all deserve a place in the Hall of Fame even if we had definitive proof that they used steroids. Barry Bonds could show up to his induction with a steroid needle sticking out of his neck and I wouldn't change my mind. They deserve enshrinement based on what they did on the field, not what went on in a gym or locker room. These players were among the most dominant of their era, and that era is a part of baseball's history whether we like it or not.
Watch FORBES SportsMoney editor Mike Ozanian and me discuss this year's Hall of Fame voting:
Did steroid users gain a significant advantage over those who played without the aid of performance enhancers? No doubt. And did those same steroid users enjoy inflated numbers compared to those who played previously? It sure seems like it.
But that was simply the nature of baseball in the 1990′s, and understanding how to demarcate one era from another is not a new practice to fans of the sport. Those who truly care about the Hall of Fame are already well aware that the accomplishments of each and every member can only be fully appreciated in the proper context.
Take Hank Aaron for instance. Aaron famously broke Babe Ruth's home run record, one that had stood for nearly 40 years, en route to 755 career home runs. Yet it took Aaron a whopping 2,965 games just to match Ruth's 714 home runs; for some background, consider that only 11 other ballplayers have ever played in as many games. Ruth, on the other hand, got to 714 homers in 2,503 games – and he spent the first few years of his career as a pitcher.
So which performance is more impressive? Before you choose, remember that MLB lowered the pitching mounds in the midst of Aaron's career, a move intended to improve offensive production, but also that Ruth caught his own break by not having to face the top pitchers of his day as greats like Satchel Paige and Bullet Rogan were restricted to the Negro Leagues.
I will buy this argument on condition of how you answer one question. Do you think Pete Rose should be in the HOF?
Sold then. Now, how do we get you a ballot…
The voters are basically copping out for the time being, wanting more time to let the steroid era, and what it means, sink in. A player that doesn't make it now can be elected next year, or the year after, etc. A player that does make it now is in for good – there's no undoing it. These voters aren't ready for that finality yet.
Not having players like Bonds and Clemens in the HOF is like the NCAA pretending that John Calipari's UMass and Memphis teams never went to the Final Four, or that Reggie Bush never won the Heisman.
By the way, on Rose…for a long time I was against him getting in. But as of the past few years I've gone the other way. He knowingly broke the rules, and then lied about it for a long time. I thought he deserved a long ban. But now that it's been over 20 years, he's done his time and then some. The sentence should be up by now – we aren't talking 1919 White Sox here.
However, All members of the 1919 Black Sox are now dead, thus the ban is over. Jackson and Cicotte were definitely worthy based on carreers. Likely Willimas and Weaver would too be enshrined.
I for one, would have no probelm with the plaques indicating their banishment for gambling or possible PED use. Especially if allegation are PROVEN not PERCEIVED.
Chris, that's a very butt hurt commentary. Bonds, et al deserve to be in the Hall of SHAME!!! Rules are rules. Their careers are stained and we all know they did use drugs. Bonds case was too scandalous and dirty. As time goes by their chances to get into the HOF will diminished. Let's all move on to better people who do deserve to make it.

Koss learned headphones in 'Mad Men' from blog
Michael Koss, CEO of Koss Headphones, tells Ad Age magazine he learned of the headphones appearance in the premiere of "Mad Men" from a newspaper story.
And it had to be mine.
I wrote last month that there were multiple Wisconsin references in last Sunday's premiere, including mentions of the Green Bay Packers and Beloit College.
And ad executive Peggy worked on a Super Bowl campaign for Milwaukee-based Koss headphones.
Koss, who is a graduate of Beloit College, tells Ad Age: "I thought: Is a writer on the show someone that I knew back then?" he recalled. "Oh my gosh, did I do something that somebody wrote me into the story? We were really curious."
In the episode, Peggy must ditch the proposed ad "Give Us Your Ears" at the last minute and come up for a replacement when a comedian on "The Tonight Show" makes a reference to soldiers cutting off ears of the Viet Cong.
The show's producers would not preview the episode for Koss but assured the company it "would be happy" about it.
According to Ad Age, the advance notice allowed Koss to "seize the moment, filling the company's Facebook page and Twitter feed with relevant content."
Ad Age wrote: "They started a "Legacy Sweep-stakes" giveaway with prizes that include Koss headphones and retro posters signed by John Koss, who founded the company in 1953 and invented the first stereo headphones designed for music five years later."

Special to The Sun
The Girls Championship at The Edmond Open at Santa Fe High School in Edmond on Saturday night featured two of the best teams in the state -- the top-ranked team in Class 4A and defending state champions against Class 6A's No. 1 and the two-time defending state champions
It would be the higher class prevailing as Santa Fe pulled away from Anadarko and cruised to victory, 59-35.
"We preach defense," Santa Fe head coach Paul Bass said. "We just play team ball." The head coach went on to say this was his team's best defensive effort of the early season.
The Warriors' Lakota Beatty came out firing, nailing two 3-pointers in as many minutes. The Wolves responded though, battling back from down 8-4 to up 13-8 after a Cameerah Graves jumper. Beatty hit another 3-pointer with 1:55 to play in the first to make the score 13-11 and Beatty's little sister Ashley Beatty connected on a jumper to tie the game at 13 with one minute to play. The final score after the first quarter was Edmond Santa Fe 16, Anadarko 13.
Three minutes into the second quarter and the Lady Wolves had reeled off seven straight to start the period and led by 10 points. The Warriors missed on all three of the field goal attempts at that point in the quarter.
"They're going to get tired and we saw that tonight," Bass said.
Another timeout by Anadarko with three minutes left in the quarter and the Warriors still were scoreless with the turnovers starting to pile up. Santa Fe netted a couple of jump shots to take a 14-point lead. The quarter didn't get any better for the Warriors, who only scored two points in the eight-minute stretch.
Lakota Beatty led all first-half scorers with 11 and Ashley Beatty scored four. That was all the production Anadarko got offensively. Graves and Tamara Lee led the Wolves with seven points apiece. Jobi Heath, Mariah Williams and Alexis Cooper each scored four.
"She's [Lakota Beatty] a threat," Bass said. "When she passes it, don't let her get it back."
Santa Fe got widespread support from their offense in the third quarter and stretched their lead to 24 points heading into the final eight minutes. All seven players who had scored for Santa Fe, scored in the third quarter.
The Lady Wolves cruised through the fourth quarter defending their lead and sealing the victory to claim The Edmond Open Championship.
Graves and Lee led the Wolves with 13 points apiece and Aaliyah Jackson added nine.
Lakota Beatty led the Warriors with 16 points and Ashley Beatty added 10.

There's a slight chance of rain on the coasts today, but Saturday should be great time to head to the beach. And, not just any beach. Two of the country's cleanest beaches are just a day trip away.
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, Ocean City's Beach 6 and Dewey Beach in Delaware are both "5-Star Beaches," a designation shared with just 12 of the 200 most popular beaches in the country. That means that since 2009, less than 5 percent of water samples from those beaches exceeded national standards of cleanliness, and that water is sampled more than once a week.
There is no rain in the forecast at the beaches tonight, and temperatures should be a pleasant 74 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. On Saturday at both beaches, expect clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the low 90s.
There is a 20-percent chance of rain Saturday night and Sunday at both Ocean City and Dewey, according to NWS. Temperatures should fall to the mid-70s at night, and climb back up to the low 90s during the day Sunday.
