Secret Irish Soda Bread Recipe- Gluten free
My mother had this Secret Soda Bread recipe since we were little. She got it from her red-headed friend Mrs Morse. We always had it growing up and it is delicious. Last year was the first time I tried making a gluten free version (see below) I couldn't remember how I changed the recipe last year but I am kind of glad because this one looks more like the real thing and I really like how it tastes.
Ok so this is the big secret SHHHHHHH!!!! ..... it is.......sour cream. I have never seen sour cream in a soda bread recipe. I think in Ireland this technically may be called "freckle bread" because it is a little sweet and cakey.
I ended up using Tofutti milk-free sour cream because too much dairy makes me stuffy and sometimes gives me headaches. I still used buttermilk but I wonder if there is a dairy free substitute that would make it completely dairy free as well? That would be great. Oh I used Promise Activ dairy free butter instead of the real thing. I also used agave nectar because I try not to eat sugar. I think the agave makes it better- balances the dryness of the gluten free flour. I hope you like this as much as I do.
Secret Soda Bread Recipe- Gluten Free
4 cups
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup agave nectar ( most Trader Joe's carry it now)
3 Tb melted butter ( I used dairy free Promise Activ)
1 cup Tofutti sour cream ( you could try regular)
1 cup buttermilk
+ 1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10" round cake pan or an oven safe pot.
Combine and sift dry ingredients. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stir well and mix in raisins. Bake up to and hour and 5 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. I baked mine a few minutes under an hour, but I used an 8" pot and made six muffins with the rest. (baked for 15 minutes)
Enjoy with black tea with a spot of milk and sugar :)
Update: Today I made the soda bread with regular sour cream and no xanthan gum. I decided it is better without xanthan gum. I also ran our of agave so I used mostly honey. The batter was not as thick with the regular sour cream and I had to cook the muffins 5 minutes longer (20 minutes) the bread I cooked for exactly and hour.
We haven't tasted the loaf yet but W liked the muffins these muffins better. Fine with me, now I have the other loaf all to myself! It's so nice to have somewhat of an appetite back! Yay!
My mum made her own version - closer to the real thing, with real sour cream and sugar and butter. She said it was a little dry and it probably would taste better with the liquid sweetener. She said she wishes it rose more like the real thing. I have to agree it -doesn't rise nearly as much as the real thing. I think it's still really tasty
Tonight or tomorrow W is going to try to talk about our first experience visiting Ireland as far as gluten free food is concerned..Lots of Pictures!

Turn on the cold and let it run, you will NOT hear the drip. IT is the pipes expanding as the hot water flows through them. There is seldom a "cheap and easy cure" for the problem.

Celestia has a powerful scripting engine that allows you to produce tours of the universe. When you install Celestia, you get a script called demo.cel that gives you an idea of its capabilities. The add-on section of the Celestia Web site includes a full repository of available scripts.
Because so much work has been done to make it as scientifically accurate as possible, it also is being used in educational environments. Currently, 12 journeys are available that provide information for students and the general public on the wonders of the universe. As opposed to scripts, journeys give you more control over your speed and pace, allowing you to take more time at the areas that are of most interest to you.
When you install Celestia, you get the core part of the program and a few extra add-ons. Currently, more than 500 add-ons are available, and if you install them all, you will need more than 18GB of drive space. The main repository you should check out first is located at http://www.celestiamotherlode.net.
If you want to travel to another planet in the solar system, you can click on Navigation→Go to Object. Here you can enter the name of the object and how far away you want to be. Then, click on Go To, and you'll be taken there directly. Once you're there, you can rotate your camera view with the arrow keys. In this way, you can go to Mars and turn around and see what the sky looks like from there.
Figure 5. When you want to go to an object, you can set what object you want go to and how far away you are.
Figure 6. You can zoom in to see the Great Red Spot on Jupiter.
Figure 7. You can look out and see the night sky on Mars.
If you want to move around the orbit of the body you're currently at, you can use the Shift and arrow keys to slide around and see the whole surface. What you see when you are in orbit around another planet is a texture mapped onto the body.
Celestia's core installation includes a minimal set of textures that strive to be as accurate as possible. You can change the textures being used by including add-ons from the repository. Some of these include textures that allow you to see what the Earth may have looked like during the last Ice Age or even four billion years ago.
In 2007, Vincent Giangiulio created an add-on called Lua Edu Tools. This add-on provides all kinds of extra functionality to Celestia. A toolkit is displayed on the right side of the screen that provides sliders for controlling many of Celestia's parameters. It also provides a "cockpit" overlay, making it feel even more like you're flying through space. The default texture is the space shuttle, but you can use other ones too. Celestia also lets you use a joystick to control movement, so you can immerse yourself completely into your dream of flying through space.
You can share your experiences with others by saving still images or movies. If you click on File→Capture Image, Celestia lets you save a PNG or JPEG image file. Clicking on File→Capture Movie lets you save a movie of your travels. You can set the aspect ratio, the frame rate and the video quality. Once you click Save, Celestia will be ready to start recording. When you are ready, click the F11 key to start recording. When you're done, you can stop recording by clicking F12.
This article is only an introduction to what you can do. Hopefully, it inspires you to go explore the universe on your desktop. From there, bundle up and go spend the night out under the skies. You won't regret it.
Joey Bernard has a background in both physics and computer science. This serves him well in his day job as a computational research consultant at the University of New Brunswick. He also teaches computational physics and parallel programming.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

No Tune Required. Unlike other Throttle Body, Cold Air Intake and Upper Plenum Combo Kits on the market today for the Ford Mustang this SR Performance Combo Kit does not require a computer re-tune. The engineers at SR Performance really did their homework to improve your Pony's power using the stock factory tune.
70MM Bore. Your 4.6L's stock throttle body is a restrictive 56mm, choking off airflow and keeping your Mustang from giving you everything it has. But this SR Performance throttle body and matching Upper Intake Plenum features a generous, free flowing 70mm single bore design for significantly more air to feed the fire under your hood.
Reusable Filter. SR Performance designed their Cold Air Intakes with a reusable high flow cotton air filter. So no there is no need to go out and buy a new filter every few thousand miles. Just clean the filter, re-oil it, save money, and go!
Easy Bolt-On Installation. This SR Performance Intake Combo Kit is designed to be a straight forward install with just basic hand tools. No extra modifications or special tools are required for a simple 2 hour installation.
Application. This SR Performance 70mm Throttle Body with Cold Air Intake and Upper Intake Plenum is specifically designed to fit the 1996 to 2004 GT Mustangs equipped with the 4.6L V8 modular motor.
Application Note. 70mm throttle bodies work great on stock or mildly modified 4.6L Mustangs, if you already have or are planning on more aggressive modifications, you may want to consider a SR Performance 75mm throttle body kit.
Mustang Fitment: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Details >>

5 Winners and Losers of the Holiday Week in Business
From a retailer's signature gadget going cold to some jewelers starting to heat up, here's a rundown of the week's smartest moves and biggest errors in the business world.
From a retailer's signature gadget going cold to some jewelers starting to heat up, here's a rundown of the week's smartest moves and biggest errors in the business world.
Years of newsroom cutbacks have had a demonstrable impact on the quality of digital, newspaper and television news and in how consumers view that work, a new study finds.
A 91-year-old widow is selling all of her belongings so she can afford to bury her late husband. Elsie Smith told ABCNews.com she is hoping that by selling all of her possessions, she can bury her husband in the same cemetery as their family members in Snohomish, Wash.
Just a couple of months ago, DailyFinance introduced you to a new, somewhat off-the-wall, gauge of presidential-electoral success: The "Restaurant Sales" index. At the time, it showed Mitt Romney in better shape the Barack Obama. Here's what it reveals now.
Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world's largest software maker to build its own online news service. NBC is buying Microsoft's 50% interest in the website and will rebrand it NBCNews.com.
In an interview Monday with Mitt Romney, ABC New's Dianne Sawyer said what many of her viewers wanted to know was, 'Are you too rich to relate?" Was the ex-governor's answer on point, or a dodge?
Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturer that probably assembled your new iPad, is on the hot seat again this week, reviving discussions about evils of offshoring. But if you think money is the only reason why Apple doesn't make its gadgets closer to home, you're missing the bigger picture.
Usually, soda drinkers are more concerned about what's in their cans than what's on them, but Coca-Cola's seasonal white can design has created a fizzy uproar. Many customers are confusing them with Diet Coke, while others claim the cola in them tastes "funky."
Last week, TV host Dr. Mehmet Oz took on apple juice, declaring that the classic drink may be slowly poisoning America's children with arsenic. But the FDA and the juice companies have credibly refuted his claims. So was Dr. Oz's announcement meant to be a legitimate health warning, or a just cynical attempt to boost ratings?

Gallup, Pew Center and Washington Post/ABC News surveys all showed that Americans, for the most part, support the tax package approved by the Senate on Wednesday.
ABC News President David Westin is leaving his job after 14 years. A corporate mandate to increase his division's profitability apparently conflicted with his own commitment to high-prestige journalism.
A federal appeals court ruling has allowed a defamation case against TV news debunker Scott Stossel to go ahead, and it should also give hope to Shirley Sherrod, the Agriculture Department employee fired earlier this summer after an edited clip appeared to show her confessing to racist acts.
Diane Sawyer's first night as host of Disney Co.'s ABC World News Tonight was greeted by a lot of fanfare about how little fanfare greeted it. The critics seem to agree that ABC now has an "understated" and "smooth" anchor in the evening news chair.

Intellectually ambitious and eschewing the personal, Shapcott's poetry nevertheless belongs as much to the body as the mind. There is a celebratory eroticism in many of her poems, even when skewed by serious illness as in her startling description of a bald head as "newborn-pale, erection-tender" ('Hairless'). Shapcott is particularly drawn to moments of dissolution when the boundaries between the self and the outside world are disrupted, the skin made permeable: so in her poem 'Deft' she imagines her body as "a drop of water". That Shapcott's transformative treatment of the body can sometimes have a feminist context is evident in the playful defiance of a poem like 'Piss Flower'. Elsewhere it is a conduit to ecstasy, a means of experiencing unity with the world: "I breathe in and become everything I see" ('Deft'). This quality of intimate exploration is also present in her versions of Rilke, particularly the sequence on roses in which Shapcott allows the flowers whom Rilke addressed to talk back to him. Equal parts challenge and seduction, these poems offer an interchange between translator and translated which is like the closeness of lovers: "You touch me with everything/that's touched you." ('Rosa foliolosa')
Shapcott's voice relishes the sensuality of her work, exploring it with the "rangy, long-legged" brio which one critic described as her characteristic tone.
Her recording was made for The Poetry Archive on 16 December 2005 at The Audio Workshop, London, UK and was produced by Richard Carrington.

"What is it?" Ellen asked, startled awake as I pulled on my robe.
"Somebody coming up the driveway," I said. In the pre-dawn half-light I could see it then, crawling up the hill. It had, in addition to regular headlights, a couple of smaller bright lights up high and wide, like an extra set of insect eyes.
"Is it Zjak and Marty?" Ellen asked, still half asleep, thinking about friends we expected in a couple of days.
I fumbled with slippers as the vehicle pulled up to the front door. It let loose a strange half-honk, half-siren sound, then the red and blue lights started flashing. "I think it's the cops," I said from half way down the stairs.
"Sheriff's department," the guy on the stoop announced when I opened the door. "We're looking for two men on foot. Have you got your doors all locked? Left any keys in your vehicles? If you see anything, give us a call."
Two men on foot? In the dark? Lock your doors?
I started the coffee water and pulled the shade part way up on the window above the sink. I watched the sheriffs' Jeep poke along east of us then turn around. Slowly, they came back down our way.
Something moved at the edge of my view. It was a big doe heading toward the creek from her bed beneath the junipers. With each step she broke the surface crust and went in up to her knees. A man on foot would struggle in all this new snow. Who could the cops be looking for? Where and what were they running from?
I thought first of escaped prisoners, Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke. A heel in the front and a heel behind. I thought about the highway sign north of the prison in Delta: "Notice. Correctional Facility. Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers." I thought about the chain gang Ellen and I saw working a fenceline beside the road. But that was two days ago. In Utah.
The groggy brain, jolted awake but still needing coffee, was not making sense. A hit-and-run on the highway? Somebody panicked and bolted? Illegal immigrants fleeing an untimely traffic stop? We're two miles from Highway 550. You wouldn't have to come this far to hide. You could just squat down in the willows by the river, and in the darkness nobody'd find you.
Should I get the gun, I wondered. I've got a little .22 caliber varmint rifle down in the basement. But that led to memories of Dustin Hoffman in Straw Dogs and his manic, bloody, terrifying defense of his family in that old English house. That's crazy thinking, I told myself. But what if?
As I set my coffee in its usual place beside the couch and moved to lift the shade on that window, I realized I was probably also reacting subconsciously to The Hurt Locker, which we had just watched. American soldiers in Iraq spend most of two hours peering around corners expecting to be blown away.
I pulled the cord and there, bigger, closer than it seemed possible, was the full moon, startling against the dark blue sky, its yellow face about to sink behind the plateau.
Ellen poured herself a cup and joined me. By 7:30 the sun was up, and the day turned sparkling and beautiful, as it does. We would learn later that the fugitives had been involved in a burglary, or attempted burglary, around the other side of Colona Hill. Neighbors had seen flashlights near a storage trailer that had been robbed before and called the cops. The suspects fled on foot and were eventually caught.
But before we knew this, sitting together on the couch, Ellen recalled the final escape scene in La Grande Illusion, Jean Renoir's classic World War I movie and E's all-time favorite film. The French prisoners, Maréchal and Rosenthal, leave the safety of the trees and make a dash for the Swiss border across an open meadow, stumbling and struggling in the deep snow. The chasing Germans see them in the open at last and one soldier yells, "Fire!" But before they can, their sergeant calls out, "Don't shoot, they're in Switzerland."
"The better for them," another soldier says (their war is over), as we watch the two figures make their way, smaller and smaller, through the snow to freedom.

Discussion: Multiple BG2 Installations
Posted 20 January 2004 - 12:09 PM
I just get confused and I come all undone.
If I agree, well it's just to appease you,
'Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for."

Multiple Install Tool Therad at FWS
Posted 28 March 2004 - 04:38 PM
How to Create a Minimal BG2 Clone for Modding
1) Complete a full install of BG2:SoA (and install the latest SoA patch, if ToB is not to be installed)
2) Complete a full install of BG2:ToB (if required) (and install the latest TOB patch)
3) Make new directory, e.g. "clone1"
4) Copy the following to "clone1"
- \characters
- \override
- \portraits
- \save
- \scripts
- \sounds
- baldur.ico
- baldur.ini
- bgconfig.exe
- bgdxtest.exe
- bggltest.exe
- BGMain.exe
- Chitin.key
- dialog.tlk
- Keymap.ini
- Language.txt
"6864303A5C6469616C6F672E746C6B00" to "2E5C6469616C6F672E746C6B00000000"
How it works
The common files are stored in the initial install directory.
The core files (unique to each clone) are copied into each clone dir.
The .exe patch is to tell the .exe to search for the dialog in the local dir, as opposed to the \data dir.
This has the usual downsides:
I dont know how it will affect games which place new biffs in the chiten.key (likely all clones will be affected, since theres only 1 chiten.key). Same goes for new music (though this can easily be altered, by .exe patching the music entry from hd0:\music to .\music).
The registry entry only points to the initial install. So this will be the one runby the autorun feature, and wil be the one listed under add/remove (hence we dont need the uninstall files in our unique copied data).
I havent extensively tested this method. It's not been tested at all on non-english versions of the game. I suspect it would work fine, as long as the right offset is changed for the dialog.tlk reference.
Anyway, I hope it works, and helps.
Any questions, just ask.
ps. I know it involves .exe patching (generally bad), but weidu is capable of this, andit only needs to be done once (once the patch is done, the .exe looks in the local dir. So you can copy that .exe into another clone dir, and it will look in there). This could be distributed as a weidu component maybe, if we get enough game version offsets.

EDIT: Switched the bgmain.exe to and from values. - Idobek

Base installation: A Manual full install SoA, a full install of ToB, Official Patch-(latest release), Baldurdash fixes-(latest release). Then configure how you like, tweak baldur.ini if desired, and add any portraits, scripts, characters, etc. to the appropriate folders. (Bioware has instructions on thier site for doing a full manual install if you are having problems getting it to work on WinXP - http://www.bioware.com/games/shadows_amn/s.../known_issues/)
Game path: C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BG II - SoA. I made multiple copies of the main BG II - SoA folder. I have in the Black Isle folder now BG II - SoA, Original BG II - SoA, TDD BG II - SoA, TS BG II - SoA, and several others for the romance mods I'm beta testing. All I have to do is rename two folders to install/test a new mod or to switch games. This has worked for me without any complications. Haven't had to reinstall the game in a long time and if a mod messes up the game, I just delete that folder. Make more copies of the main installation as needed. About your post above - I'm glad to see a tool that will create multiple installations is being considered.
Posted 30 March 2004 - 10:41 AM
As for bg1tutu, yeah, I doubted it would work, but it was worth trying.
Bren: Yeah, thats a good method, but we dont all have 250gb HDDs. We're trying to use as little space as possible for each install (well, I am a least).

Maybe they could be modified in some way, to read the data from where we put it, rather than assuming its where its meant to be? I'll ask go suggest it.
This method seems to cause a quite bit of trouble Still, you can save like.. 200 entire MB!! Or something. Anyway, I like it

text: New Form of Rust Threatens World Wheat East African Stem Rust is capable of spreading to more than half the world's commercial wheats. Compiled by staff Published on: Apr 20, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print About 70% of U.S. wheat varieties - and perhaps more of varieties used in other countries - are susceptible to an East African Stem Rust first discovered in 1999. The new form of rust, which first appeared in Uganda in 1999 and Kenya and Ethiopia in 2000, is, so far, contained outside of East Africa. But, between 70 and 75% of wheat in India and Pakistan are also susceptible to this rust; wheat in Egypt and China are thought to have similar vulnerabilities. Kay Simmons, the national program leader for plants genetics and grain crops at USDA's Agricultural Research Service, spoke at a meeting recently about the USDA response to this potential threat. She says the department was first alerted to the rust issue about two years ago. Since then the rust has been very carefully brought to labs in Minnesota for testing, where the vulnerability of U.S. wheat varieties was determined. Simmons says USDA was "surprised" and "alarmed" at the potential susceptibility and quickly sent samples from the National Small Grains Repository to Kenya to be planted and tested for vulnerability and/or potential resistance. Researchers are now getting ready to send another round of seeds to Kenya for more testing. John Dodds, deputy director general of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, says Ug99, as the new rust is known, is capable of spreading to more than half the world's commercial wheats, and that it is almost inevitable that it will spread, either naturally by wind or accidentally, likely through a traveler's clothing. Some control strategies researchers are working on include tracking, genetic resistance research, breeding for resistance and creating plans for emergency control through chemicals. Some promising emergency replacement varieties have already been identified. The lecture was headlined by Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug, who won a Peace Prize for his work with the Green Revolution. He spoke on the history of international wheat research and what was done in reaction to a major rust epidemic in the 1950s.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: * Small device with a beautiful enclosure; * Remote control and buttons on top of the device; * Display legends with ACCENTS! * It's cheap!
Cons: There is not a "back" button on the remote control. I need to use the button of the device or press "Home" and access the directory again.
Other: Great device to watch movies on your TV without burn a DVD media.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: small, doesnt take too much place plays most common formats easy to use, easy to plug, a very basic user can find his way around it. easy to use menus and settings
Cons: sound needs to be used to the maximum, the quality of sound is not always the best
Other: if you want an affordable device get this one. it can upgrade a regular tv to an entertainment center.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Great price for such benefit: you can watch your .AVI and .DiVX on your couch, using your TV!
I don't know if I did get a new version, but reading the past reviews, I can't agree with them. Its build quality seems fine and OK for me.
Pretty solid buttons and full-function R/C included.
Beautiful interface on TV. Really impressive: well thought, nicely rendered and easy to understand.
Cons: A major con one for us - accents alphabet language: NO ACCENT on the subtitles. It doesn't matter whether the text inside the .srt file is written in code or with actual accented characters - this nice media player won't show them on the screen.
A big disappointment, I know.
Although the manual explains in detail how to upgrade the firmware - it gives us no clue on any web address, so this information is pretty much useless.
Other: Despite this no-accented-characters major flaw, its price is attractive enough to try this gadget out.
I did and I'm overall very satisfied with it.
As long as you don't really NEED subtitles (or just don't bother reading truncated words), this media player is the perfect price x benefit combination.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's perfect to watch all movies downloaded from internet without need of converting to another format. It plays avi, mpg, rmvb with great quality.
I've been usig it for 4 months every day and i had no problems at all.
Cons: The remote control is quite tricky, sometimes it lower the volumie when pressing pause, but pressing again the button you can do what you originally want to. Despite of this, it's a great product and definitely very cheap and good quality
Other: Believe me, buy one right now !!!!!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: You know that movie that you are required to attend only on the computer? Your problems are over. Now you can simply use the Rmvb Player to assisitir formats supported! With me here and he helped me shape and image quality depends so exclusively and not downloaded the video player. The good thing is that you leave it in a ventilated place as it gets very hot, you saw those pictures of his family, and places where amigs paced and not to mention the songs that marked your life! IN the end, I will summarize. You better buy this player that costs much cheaper than a DVD player you will not regret it!
Cons: The only thing that made me sad about this player is the temperature and the control that appears to be very fragile.
Other: Buy and enjoy your pen drives, sd cards, etc! I bought and have not regretted it!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - The media player is really easy to use and is very usefull for watching movies and series.
- Through "track" key in remote control one can select audio track in dual audio files.
- Through "game key" key one can select subtitles in divx files.
- It has buttons that enable one to access files without remote control.
Cons: - Build quality could be a little better. the power adapter broke when trying to insert into outlet, but I replaced the the tips.
- Without remote control only basic operation is possible, same as most devices nowadays.
- When unit is off, there's a soft whistle in the power adaptor similar to the one of a fridge. Just take if off the outlet when not using, and it's ok.
- It's hard to fast forward or rewind and find a spot in the movie.
Other: For me it was very worth buying it, as now I don't need to convert files to dvd and can watch them directly on TV. If you are crazy for series like me, this is the device.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: plays movies off hdd for cheap
Cons: doesn't include YPbPr cable as described on package despite having an output for such; does not play mp4 files. SUPPOSEDLY supports firmware updates according manual but complete lack of resources to obtain such; no website, no manufacturer, no part, serial or model number to be found anywhere.
Other: worthwhile for a spare tv, just make sure you have the movie files in a compatible format as you more than likely won't be finding any firmware updates to improve how it functions.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Got one for my boy on his old television, lets me find random copies of movies and tv shows for him to watch as he pleases, let's me sleep at night. even plays some formats that my WD media player won't play at all although with some hickups.
Cons: hit or miss codec support, picky HD compatibility (the same media on two formatted externals wont work with one or two other) especially if unpowered.
Other: if you have a decent downloaded collection this will let you play that to your ungrateful child's content

Indoor Air Quality
Several factors can affect the indoor air quality of a building. Most often, unfavorable air quality is the result of mold and fungal growth, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning or maintenance procedures, air intake contamination from vehicles, maintenance operations (such as snow removal equipment) or from exhaust air being blown back in to the air intake, and lack of adequate air exchanges. These are just a few of the more common complaints. The fact is that IAQ problems are hard to track down due to the variety of potential sources and the inconsistencies of when the problem occurs on a day to day basis.
How EHS&RM can help
We have several different types of instruments to help monitor your building's indoor air quality. Our instruments can measure or sample for:
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Mold and Fungi both viable and nonviable
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Culture viable microbes for species identification
- Temperature
- Airborne particles
- Humidity
- Asbestos
- Volatile Organic Compounds
- And much more
If you are experiencing discomfort from the air quality in your building contact EHS&RM at 474-5413 and we'll conduct an evaluation, collect samples if necessary, and make recommendations based on the results.
Before you call…
To save yourself some time and perhaps some frustration, there are some things you can do to investigate poor IAQ conditions in your office. Here are a few suggestions…
- Plants can be a source of mold and fungi that may cause allergic type reactions. If there plants in your work area, experiment with moving one or more types out at a time and see if the reaction is less over the next few days.
- Some perfumes, lotions, deodorants, etc. can cause reactions in people who have greater sensitivity. Be cognizant of the people in your area and their sensitivities.
- If you have a refrigerator near or in your office, check it for outdated goods.
- Peek in a few garbage cans in case someone just threw away one of the outdated goods from the refrigerator.
- If all else fails, give us a call at 474-5413!
Winter Indoor Air Quality
Winters are synonymous with dry, uncomfortable conditions, and Fairbanks is no exception. Actually, Fairbanks is at a greater disadvantage due to its geographical location. Located in a "bowl", strong inversions occur in the winter which creates a lid effect over Fairbanks that traps carbon monoxide (CO) and other toxins.
Vehicle Exhaust
Vehicle exhaust problems, such as exhaust entering the fresh air intake, are directly related to these inversions. Some simple things you can do to reduce your building's fresh air intake from being contaminated are:
- Plug in vehicles when temperatures are at 20 F or colder. Studies have shown that starting a vehicle when the engine is warm greatly reduces CO emissions.
- Limit your idling time if parked near your building's fresh air intake.
- Encourage vendors not to park near the fresh air intake or ask them not to idle their vehicles.
These tips will help improve the IAQ but it will not solve the problem completely. Stuffy or stale air can still be expected especially during times when several vehicles are arriving / departing at the same time such as lunch and at the end of the day. If you are not sure where the fresh air intake(s) is (are) located for your building, call EHS&RM at 474-5413.
Low Humidity Discomfort
Relative humidity is the term given to the ability of air to hold water vapor (gas). The ability of air to hold water decreases as the temperature is lowered, hence outside air has less humidity in the winter than it does in the summer. Because of this, some people like to bring humidifiers into their work spaces. This practice, however, is discouraged. The negatives of humidification are worse than the trade off for comfort. Excess moisture can cause the growth of biological organisms, including dust mites and fungi. Dust mites are microscopic animals that cause allergic reactions. The fungi can produce allergic reactions or may be toxic. Adding moisture to the air only makes it a better environment for fungi, bacteria, and dust mites.

Rated 5 out of 5 by pvoutdoorsman AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! So, you think the #5 is too small for you, well think again. I bought the #5 size to save money and feared that I may have made a mistake, when an AZ elk was to be processed. This little gem ground over 300 lbs. of elk in one day without a single hitch. The big secret is not to be in a big hurry, just feed it as needed to keep the grind going. Thanks Bass Pro and LEM for an awesome product April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lapshoot Awesome! I love this thing. It is a beast. It will grind anything! It is easy to use, clean and store. You can not get any better for meat grinding. Be sure to check out the instructions on cleaning and storing. You don't want to mess that up! It is an amazing machine. March 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by happy60 Happy with this Purchase I have been looking to buy a meat grinder for years, I have used the less expensive ones and the commercial grade ones. When LEM came out with the #5 I thought that might be the right one for me, I waited to see comments on it before I bought one. After reading the comments I decide to buy one and Bass Pro had it on sale so I purchased on last weekend. Used it yesterday to grind up some of my frozen meat and it worked flawlessly. I had cut the meat for a 1HP grinder so I had left some tendons in the meat, it ground this through the 10MM plate with no problems, then ground the meat through the 4.5MM plate without one hang up. This is a great grinder for someone that whats to do it theirself. Highly recommend the #5. February 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by hawk74see great purchase Got the #12 LEM grinder in late december. Been hand grinding for years, but this grinder a beast!! Takes longer to set up & take down then to grind the meat! and only talking about minutes. I've ground deer, pork and beef since purchase and no complaints so far. Hope it holds up to years of use and no reason to think otherwise. Clean up a snap, and bass pro made it easy to purchase. February 3, 2014

A:Yes, I use it for exactly that purpose and it will grind chicken bones no problem. I use a 6mm plate and do not have to regrind. If you regrind it will turn the meat/bones into a sticky putty like substance which sticks to everything better then duct tape. The 6 mm plate must be ordered separately.

A:i'd recommend a minimum of the #12.LEM for grinding poultry bones. i have the #22 unit and grind whole chickens and Turkeys and it doesn't flinch. beef and pork bones are to strong and would probably destroy any unit other than a wood chipper lol.
A:Machine is powerful but even small bones are not what it is designed for. I wouldn't do it.

A:I have the #8 and it does make some noise but nothing that you can't stand or have to wear ear plugs to use, me and my wife process deer meat together and can hold a normal conservation with out having to yell or repeat ourselves
A:I have the #8 and the noise was not at a level that bothered me in the least. Is it the quietest, No... but for a heavy powerful grinder with metal gears the noise was reasonable...
A:noise, does it matter? unless you're grinding @ 3am and kids are asleep it shouldn't really matter. it's loud but not yell over it loud. i have the LEM#22 and my Dyson Vacum is louder.
A:They make about as much noise a using a drill or vacuum cleaner.

Are the parts dishwasher safe?

- Anchorage, AK(read all my Q&A)
A:Instructions say to wash head, parts and pan by hand. While I believe you could put in dishwasher, I am sure the caustic characteristics of dishwashing detergent will negatively impact the excellent finish on the parts, roughing them up over time.

- Springfield, MO(read all my Q&A)
A:For all of you who are still asking this question, as stated in a previous post, the manufacturer recommendation is to NOT put parts in the dishwasher.
My experience with stainless steel food safe parts is they will turn dark and have a light coating of some type of film that has to be washed and/or scrubbed off with soap and water. This would have end results of still having to hand wash the parts. I have not found out the substance of the coating but I don't want it in my finished product.
The manufacturer would not have recommended not putting the parts in the dishwasher without a reason.
My recommendation from experience is: "DO NOT PUT PARTS IN DISHWASHER!"

A:I just used my 1/3 HP for the first time. Make sure your meat is "chilled" very firm and I doubt you will have any problems even with the 1/4 HP. All sizes look very similar in design. Mine has the big bite but am not sure if the 1/4 HP has it or not. I am very very pleased with my grinder.
A:Absolutely handles like the more powerful ones. My wife and I ran 10 lbs of deer and another 2 lbs of pork fat though our new #5 with NO hang ups or clogging. Plus we ran another 5 lbs thorugh with the fat for the dogs. We ran the deer though first than the pork though the course plate, put all the meat together though the medium plate. We ran the meat though the fine plate as we package it for freezing with no problems at all. I also put 4 lbs of ham through same results, no problems. GREAT product and value for the price, you wont be disappointed.

A:I have the .35 hp grinder and I can't imagine that there is a whole lot of difference other than capacity per minute in the two. With my #8 .35hp ginder it works great for grinding up deer meat with no clogs or jams as long as you follow the directions. From my lesson learned the hard way you must coarse grind the meat first (chili meat) then do the final fine grind (burger meat) last. No short cuts. If you do it that way no problems.

Do you have to cut off all the silver skin or sinew off of the venison before you grind it?
4 years, 6 months ago
Top 10 Contributor
A:I have the #8 and I cut out as much of silver skin as I can but I have never had the grinder to clog, removing the silver skin gives you a better grind and better meat
A:I bought the #8 and did 40lbs of bear meat and while I had removed a good majority of the sinew and some silver skin it went all through it no problem and when I went to clean it out there was just one little string around the shaft between cutter and grinding plate. If it can handle bear venison will be a breeze.
A:My approach is that if it doesn't add to the quality of the finished product - get rid of it. Trim it.
A:You don't have to but if you don't it gives the meat a much stronger flavor. My 1 Hp doesn't have any problems grinding it but you can taste it in the finished product.

- Denham Springs,Louisiana(read all my Q&A)
A:Nope, just run it on thru. It will be removed when the burger comes out and you'll never even know it was there. It may cause you to have to stop and clean the grinder blade off mid way through processing but not always.
A:If your grinding straight venison, you should cut off as much as possible to avoid getting that "gamey" taste. If your mixing pork or beef fat into the meat you shouldn't have much of a problem with a "gamey" taste. I would recommend cutting off as much as possible either way.
A:I haven't. It grinds just fine.
A:nope, but it all depends if you like eating that stuff in your ground meat
A:yes it would be best to cut away these items which will help with the grinding process.
A:You do not have to remove it all with a good grinder, but the more you remove the better you end product will be. If you leave excessive sinew, it may be necessary to stom and clean the blade out on the fine grind.

A cabinetmaker, as the name would suggest, is an individual who engages in the activity of conceptualizing, designing and constructing furniture. They are usually considered synonymous with bench carpenters, although they have a particular specialization in cabinetry. Aside from building and designing cabinets, cabinet makers have the added task of installing them.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Before the art of industrial design came to be, cabinet makers were responsible for the entire creation process of a piece of furniture, from its initial conception to its shape and color all the way to the final production. Some of the more famous cabinet makers like George Hepplewhite, Thomas Chippendale and Thomas Sheraton even authored books about the art of furniture making, featuring their designs and compositions.
One might ask, "what is the difference between a carpenter and cabinetmaker?" While both professions master the art of working with wood, it is the cabinet makers who go one step further by focusing on the finer details of timber and what one can do with it. This attention to detail distinguishes them from carpenters, especially in the concentration of internal fixtures such as tables, kitchens and book shelves. Aside from the focus on particular details, cabinet makers target their expertise more toward working with complex building materials and elaborate constructions. These include a vast array of tools like a good saw table, drum sander, and dust extraction system. They also carry with them a selection of hand tools like laminate trimmers, cordless drills, finish staplers and jigsaws. On the other hand, carpenters tend to place more of their efforts into large-scale projects, and from this experience they gain enough expertise to become builders. The determining difference between the two professions, aside from the project's magnitude, would be the cabinet maker's necessary care in constructing complex, durable yet delicate structures.
This career is something to consider when one particularly enjoys keeping their hands busy.
The job entails a wide knowledge and skills in the use of various tools and machines. Products are very specific when it comes to measurement and sizing, so one must be very meticulous and take extreme care in handling projects. Cabinetmaking has a rich historical background and adopts a multitude of influences. An aspiring cabinet maker should also familiarize himself with these schools of design. He must be educated in the numerous skills ranging from sanding, sealing and staining wood all the way to polishing products. Traditional cabinetmaking also involves creative design and woodwork, which may pose a challenge in lifting heavy objects and standing for long periods at a time.
Aside from the technical prerequisites of the job, choosing to become a cabinet maker also requires patience, perseverance, and dedication. A project, depending on the skill of the carpenter and the difficulty in making a particular cabinet, may take a couple of days or stretch up to weeks at a time. Responsible time management is essential to any would-be cabinet maker, as the duration of a project is solely dependent on his or her own discretion.
Of course one does not simply decide to become a cabinet maker and have it suddenly become so. Like most professions, some measure of training and education is required in order to begin this career. Cabinet makers receive the majority of their training while on the job, but they also obtain relevant and necessary skills via community college courses, vocational schools and universities. This training period covers a wide array of skills, including computer operations for creating designs and drawings. Students also learn woodworking skills such as joinery, assembly, installation, frame making finishing and polishing. While some of these programs allow the student to graduate with a certificate or an associate's degree, other programs offer apprenticeship opportunities upon graduation.
A cabinet maker's workplace may vary greatly, but they may often find employment in furniture repair shops, furniture stores and construction companies. On a project and commission basis, they may get hired for venues that require large amounts of furniture that need to be particularly customized. A library, a new house, or a school classroom are some examples, although possible work venues are not limited to these.
Although cabinets are mass-produced today, there is still a fairly high demand for specialized cabinet makers. Depending on the geography, level of skill and educational attainment, the salary for a bench carpenter or cabinet maker may vary.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that the employment rate for woodworkers is expected to increase by six per cent between 2008 and 2018. This growth is a bit slower than average, attributed to the slow economy and automation in wood products, Thus, highly-trained individuals and those that specialize in a particular kind of skill have better opportunities than the ones who do not. In May 2010, it was reported by the BLS that an average annual wage of $31,790 was earned by the 84,170 bench carpenters and cabinet makers working in the United States.

Top Liberal Scholar Calls On Justice Ginsburg To Resign
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is getting up there in years, and that's led Erwin Chemerinsky of the UC Irvine School of Law to call for her to resign. His opinion:
A great deal turns on who picks Ginsburg's successor. There are, for example, four likely votes to overturn Roe vs. Wade on the current court: Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel A. Alito Jr. If a Republican president selects Ginsburg's replacement, that justice easily could be the fifth vote needed to allow the government to prohibit all abortions. On many cases — including ones involving environmental law, healthcare, gay marriage, the death penalty and the rights of those in Guantanamo — the four liberal justices have joined with Justice Anthony M. Kennedy for a progressive result. But if a conservative had been occupying Ginsburg's seat when the court heard those cases, the rulings might well have been very different, and if a conservative takes her seat when she leaves, they might not survive.
For some perspective, the longest serving current justice, Scalia, is 78. Ginsburg, who has served since 1993 and has previously said she'd like to keep her role as long as possible, just turned 82.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Allison Transmission has come out with its fifth generation electronic controls, which the company says have been designed to improve performance.
The new electronics will match the new generation of global vehicle electrical-electronic architectures for easier integration during the vehicle assembly process, and will also result in better on-road performance, Allison announced. The controls offer optimal shift strategies for maximum productivity and efficiency.
The TCM hardware has been upgraded as well as software, to provide faster, more precise processing capabilities. Also new is an embedded inclinometer, which improves vehicle productivity in stop-start operations, the company claims. The inclinometer is designed to improve Load Based Shift Scheduling performance, as the automatic selection between economy and performance shift schedules is faster and more accurate, resulting in better fuel efficiency, Allison announced.
"The combination of Allison Transmission's continuous power technology and the latest fifth generation electronic controls is the best way to provide our customers with enhanced fuel economy as well as improved vehicle performance, fleet productivity and efficiency," said Steve Spurlin, executive director of application engineering and vehicle integration for Allison.
The new electronic controls will be rolled out throughout 2013. Customers are encouraged to discuss availability with their OEMs.

Red-shouldered Hawk a new bird for yard and year9:42 am | March 4, 2013
A visiting Red-shouldered Hawk became Bird No. 76 on my year list when I saw the bird Sunday, Feb. 24.
The hawk's visit stirred the resident Blue Jays and American Crows into action. They noisily followed the hawk to a perch in a tall tree. The crows were more direct than the jays and swooped at the raptor each time it took flight.
A week had passed since I had added my latest bird to the list, so the addition of this hawk was a welcome event. The Red-shouldered Hawk also represented a new yard bird.
This raptor often hunts from a perch on a tree which allows it to swoop down in an ambush and catch its prey. They feed mostly on rodents — voles, mice and chipmunks — but also eat large insects, small birds, reptiles and amphibians, as well as the eggs of other birds.
Its call is a loud two syllable scream which is repeated two or three times. This screeching call sounds like "keeyar" and carries a long distance. This distinctive call is often the first clue to this bird's presence in an area. The first time I ever heard this hawk I was reminded of a much-amplified call of a Killdeer.
The Red-shouldered Hawk belongs to a genus of raptors known as the buteos. For the most part, buteo hawks are raptors with a robust body and broad wings. Buteo is the Latin term for "buzzard." In North America, most members of this genus are known as hawks, but in the rest of the world they are often known as "buzzards." That can be confusing in the United States where the term "buzzard" is often used to refer to our two native vultures.
The Red-tailed Hawk is resident throughout the year and more common than the Red-shouldered Hawk. In summer, the Broad-winged Hawk is also resident in the region and is a more common bird than the Red-shouldered Hawk.
While not common, this raptor is widespread in the region in favored woodland habitat bordering open areas. I have found Red-shouldered Hawks in Limestone Cove in Unicoi County, at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton, on Ripshin Mountain in Carter County, in Shady Valley in Johnson County and in the Limestone community of Washington County.
I've also seen these hawks in Florida, where they seem to be more abundant. During a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida several years ago, I observed a perched Red-shouldered Hawk during a safari ride. I had my binoculars focused on the hawk while other people were watching exotic animals native to Africa.
Other members of the Buteo hawks in North America include the Rough-legged Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk and Swainson's Hawk. Worldwide, the genus Buteo is comprised of about 30 species of raptors. Some other common names for some of these hawks include Grey-lined Hawk, Grey Hawk, Zone-tailed Hawk, Upland Buzzard, Red-necked Buzzard and Jackal Buzzard.
I turned in my reports for the Great Backyard Bird Count this past week.
This year was a first in many respects for the GBBC. For instance, birders around the globe could participate, and they certainly did so. To date, a total of 132,300 checklists have been posted. A total of 3,422 species of birds had been found, based on the checklists so far submitted. Worldwide, there are about 10,000 species of birds, which means this year's GBBC recorded about a third of the world's known birds.
So far, all the continents are represented save for Antarctica. I think it's a shame no one in Antarctica bothered to count the penguins.
This year's checklists were submitted using eBird, which is a free, real-time, online checklist program. You can use eBird to store and retrieve your bird observations and to explore where people are finding birds across North America.
I was new to eBird, but I have enjoyed using my new account, Warblerwatcher22, to survey the results of the GBBC. To learn more about this year's GBBC, visit www.birdsource.org. To fully explore the results, you may need to create your own eBird account.
Results are still being processed, so when the definitive numbers are released, I will re-visit this year's GBBC with a focus on state and local results. Thus far, I'm in the lead for birds reported from Carter County with the 35 species I recorded at home in Hampton and while birding around Elizabethton.
In second place is Brookie Potter with 33 species. Tom McNeil took third place with 31 species. Overall, a total of 58 species of birds have been reported so far in Carter County from Feb. 15 to Feb. 18.
Overall, I found 55 birds during the four-day count period. I also birded in Sullivan and Unicoi counties with my mother, Peggy Stevens, to obtain this total.
Statewide in Tennessee, 141 birds have been reported through GBBC checklists. I am in 21st place statewide with 55 species. In first place in the Volunteer State is Stephen J. Stedman with 84 species.
In Sullivan County, I am in second place with a total of 46 species. In first place is John Moyle with 52 species. Roy Knispel is in third place with 36 species for Sullivan County. A total of 80 species have been reported from Sullivan County.
I didn't spend as much time birding in Unicoi, but I was pleased to add a Northern Pintail to my list from Erwin Fishery Park. I reported only a total of 10 species from Unicoi County.
Brian Rovira was in first place with 22 species. Taking second place and third place, respectively, were Allen Clark and Wade Franklin, with 14 and 12 species. Donna McCoury was in fourth place with 11 species. A total of only 30 species has been reported to date in Unicoi County.
Any of these statistics could change as more checklists arrive. Checklists were accepted through March 1.
