I recently ordered a pin lock connection set from cornykegs.com. Unlike my other connectors, these are both 1/4". I had originally gotten the 5/16 inch barbed connector for the gas line. HERE's a PHOTO OF IT. As it happens, my co2 distributor is 5/16. Can anyone help me locate an adapter fitting from Mcmaster Carr? I just can't seem to find one. I'm also planning on buying 50' of this beer hose Anyone have off flavors from this kind of hose? It's just so much cheaper than the beer line from homebrew stores. Many thanks, guys.
That tubing should be fine, although you might want a thicker wall, it is FDA certified and specified for use with food and beverage. Polyethylene is in everything... As for the adapter, if its just a gas line side use a plastic male x male hose barb of different IDs and a short 1-2" piece of small ID tubing between the two, http://www.mcmaster.com/#barbed-tube-fittings/=8nwjdj. Not the cleanest looking but likely the cheapest and fastest. If it's beer side, you're going to have issues with the ID change and foaming regardless of what you do.
Would a 1/4" nut and a 5/16" tailpiece work?
That polyethylene is going to be very difficult to stretch over a 1/4" barb. Oh, by the way, my local Lowes store has that same tubing.
I would use a 1/4" flare x 3/16" compression fitting. These should be available. The female flare nut will fit the 1/4" male threads on the connector and the poly tubing will work with the compression side. That fitting may be hard to locate, but it anyone has it, McMaster-Carr will I am fairly certain. The poly tubing is safe for beverage or water use. The biggest problem you will have is that it is not very flexible. It's kind of semi-rigid and springy. You can bend it, but it will kink if bent too sharply and it sort of wants to retain its coiled shaped as packaged. This may or may not be a problem depending on your set up. I'd go with real beer line and spring for the extra cost. It's not that bad really and the beer line lasts indefinitely, so it's a one time purchase sort of thing.
I see the 1/4" flare nutThe compression fitting seems kind of pricey, though. I may have been unclear as I need the compression fitting for 5/16" GAS line. For this price I might as well order the 5/16" qc from Micromatic. Still not sure what to do. Maybe I'll just try a load of teflon tape and a tight clamp on the 1/4" gas QC.
1/4" hose wil fit over 5/16" barb....put it in a cup of hot water for a few seconds and it will stretch....I do it all the time
I guess I'm going to buy some 1/4" gas hose and stretch it over the 5/16th inch barb on the co2 distributor manifold with some hot water. Thanks for all the input. Seems like the best idea.

Security, given no need to exit the car in a risky neighborhood. Not all banks charge fees for use of their own ATM's or drive-up windows.
Much depends on the neighborhood, the design of the drive-up or the ATM (whether it's against a large/flat wall or stuck in a kiosk out in the open). Plus, having low spending habits, carrying a bit of cash and having a safe for "backup" funds helps limit the need to even go to the bank, for any reason. Depends on a person's circumstances, but not everyone's being risky by occasionally using them.
Of course. See above.If we as CHL holders are supposed to be aware of our surroundings and be a bit on top of the rest of the population, wouldn't planning ahead to make sure you have sufficient cash in you wallet, at home in the safe, or whereever be part of that?
Yes, it is. Not all drive-up situations equal crime. It can be that simple, if one banks intelligently. It'll often be otherwise, if one does not. Same with anything else.If you put yourself in places where crimes happen more often expect to have higher risk of being a victim of a crime. It is pretty simple math in my opinion.
Ditto on everyone's warnings and caveats about some ATM locations and times of day being the worst possible choices for banking. I can't imagine using a cash kiosk, one in the middle of nowhere, one at 2am, or even one frequently enough to create undue wear on the keys at the machine. Agreed on all counts, there. But then, none of that is intelligent use of the tool.

Being a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's is changing.
A new study released Wednesday from the Alzheimer's Association found women at age 65 have a one in six chance of developing the disease compared to one in eleven men.
Not only are women more at risk, but they're more likely to be a caregiver for a loved one living with the disease.
Here in Minnesota, 245,000 people care for the 88,000 seniors living with Alzheimer's. That amounts to 280 million hours of unpaid work.
As with any new study, those numbers can seem shocking. So to figure out what you need to take away from those findings, we sat down with a preeminent scholar in long-term care and aging, Robert Kane.
Since we know the number of people looking for Alzheimer's care in Minnesota is going up, we got a close-up account of the newest ways local dementia homes are collaborating with others.
Figuring out who will get Alzheimer's is a tricky business. "There is no 'Scarlet A' for Alzheimer's disease," said Kane, a medical doctor and endowed chair in Long-term Care and Aging at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
Researchers are now developing a series of tests that can potentially diagnose the disease before you show any symptoms. Kane, who's written dozens of books and hundreds of journal articles on geriatrics and health services said, "I mean none of these tests are definitive. It's a crap shoot."
And if you're trying to ward off Alzheimer's, Dr. Kane said think again. your risk of getting Alzheimer's is primarily based on something you cannot control - your age. "The majority of Alzheimer's, as best we know at the moment, is not genetic," he said.
As the number of people living with the disease grows, nurses and dementia care specialists are starting to prepare. Krissi Barnett, Registered Nurse and Residence Director at Emerald Crest memory care home said, "We've partnered with the police department, the fire department, we're training them on dementia, so that when they're going out on these 911 calls they know how to deal with them."
Jane Wright, 82, is getting help at Emerald Crest. Her son-in-law Jim Kellison said, "She's just one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet; always has been, ever since I've known her."
Kellison opened up about the tough toll Alzheimer's takes on a family. About his wife Terri he said, "She says 'I want my mom back, I just want my mom back.' And it's so hard to say, mom's not ever going to come back the way she was." But they find comfort knowing there's a place she can now call home.
The specialists at Emerald Crest say in addition to partnering with law enforcement, they're now working with churches too.
The goal is to give care givers the tools they need long before their loved ones need to live in a home like theirs.
Plus, to deal with the growing need, they're taking their Alzheimer's tailored programming inside their sister locations so there's memory care expertise in sites that didn't have it before.

Virtual power-cycling.. I ran into the same touble once or twice, but sadly I don't remember what was the reason. I do remember that I was wondering somehow about the relation between the problem and it's solution. I think the problem originated in an other package than gcc. I do remember that gcc missed something and then wanted to use autoconf. Try checking your PATH and if it's ok, look for /bin/install. If it's missing try linking it to whereever install is (guess /usr/bin/install). And have a look for if it can find diff, too. Ahh...and did you install texinfo and textutils in chapter 5? (I remember having forgotten one of them and done it later.) It's just some bad recalls, but perhaps worse a try.

Opera buffs should try and catch a performance at Florence's municipal theater—also known as the Teatro Comunale—where the stagione lirica runs from September through December. More opera is on offer during the Maggio Musicale festival from late April or May through June. The theater supports a symphony orchestra, chorus, and ballet company who provide a full program of music and dance throughout the year; Zubin Mehta is the principal conductor, and standards, particularly when it comes to opera, are pretty high.

BOSTON Functional electrical stimulation (FES) was developed to help return lost function to patients with upper and lower extremity injuries and spinal cord injuries, among other applications. However, the devices, which work by stimulating neuronal activity in nerve-damaged patients, have a potential shortcoming in that the electrical currents needed for the treatment to work can also send errant signals to surrounding nerves, resulting in painful side effects.
Earlier this fall, a plastic surgery research team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and an engineering team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), described a new method of nerve stimulation that reduces the device's electrical threshold by 40 percent, compared with traditional FES therapy. Reported in the October 23 Advance On-line issue of the journal Nature Materials, the findings could help researchers develop a safer, more efficient FES therapy with fewer side effects.
"This new device works by manipulating the concentration of charged ions surrounding the nerve," explains co-senior author Samuel J. Lin, MD, a surgeon in BIDMC's Divisions of Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. "This could potentially mean reduced risk to surrounding nerves because less electrical current is required to stimulate the affected nerve." The researchers additionally discovered that they could use the device to block signals in nearby nerve fibers, which could help prevent unwanted muscle contractions.
The research team, led by Lin and MIT Associate Professor Jongyoon Han, PhD, determined that by altering calcium ion concentrations in the fluid surrounding the nerves they could adjust the electrical impulses.
"Nerve fibers fire their signals based on the message they receive from the interaction of ions, or charged particles," explains coauthor Ahmed M.S. Ibrahim, MD, a Research Fe

1.pdf - Published Version Download (83Kb) |
There is a dire need to expand the scope for higher science education and research in the country to reach its goal of a knowledge power in the globe. Government agencies are announcing a massive increase in the number of such institutions on a daily basis. It is not, however, clear as to how we will get the adequate qualified human resource to man and run these new institutions bearing brand names of repute or fill in the existing vacancies. This article attempts to review the current situation and strategies planned. The bottom line is to provide an attractive career in terms of monetary benefits as well as working environment. In the meanwhile, should we not hasten carefully, if not slowly?

The interface was fairly easy. The demo video was helpful.
I was able to edit down the sound I wanted fairly easily, but I just couldn't get the ringtone to download. Limited support. Who knows, it might just be my phone or provider, but I have a Razrv3 and Cingular so you'd think it would work. Strongly suggest trying the demo before you buy.

Well, I never had any module in my kernel, since I didn't see the point. Of course, I know that it can save some memory, but then again, I've got plenty. So I end up not knowing anything about modules and can't be of any great help there. And about the flashy thingy (think you meant your cursor), maybe your shell is a bit freaked by something. Typing reset helps me almost all the time in these cases. If you're working in frame buffer mode it's another story, of course. I once found that very handy, but sometimes, after a kernel upgrade, it went bogus because my videocard was supported better. > /Funny things you read while compiling a kernel > > It appears the Unicode setup is coming on.

Much of what psychology students study in the classroom can lead to deeper understandings when viewed in a global context. For psychology majors/minors, study abroad is a chance to learn different perspectives about psychology and human behavior. When they come back from study abroad, students are much more aware of the world around them, and the diversities and similarities of people.
Some examples of programs that psychology students have attended in recent years are:
- University of Sunshine Coast, Australia
- University of Copenhagen, Denmark
- Oxford University, England
- University of Westminster, England
- University of East Anglia, England
Please contact the Office of International Studies to learn more about approved study-abroad programs.

Students go back to class after school bus shooting
POSTED: Monday, May 5, 2014 - 6:25pm
UPDATED: Monday, May 5, 2014 - 8:16pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Students at Kenilworth Science and Technology charter school are trying to get back to normal, Monday, after police say a 12-year-old student shot at a school bus Friday afternoon.
"Most of the students stated they were ok, but you could still see some of our students were shocked by the incident," Hazel Regis, Dean of Students for Kenilworth Science and Technology, said.
Regis started her day by checking in with student who ride the bus.
"Some of my students basically stated this incident could have been prevented had we handled it better as students. So, it's more so if something like this happening, and now our students are really like ok. It should not have happened. We should do better. We should talk with an adult,'' Regis said.
Regis explained the school added an extra police officer on campus, and has resources to help the kids feel safe.
"We also have two counselors who are free any time they need to speak with someone. We've ensured all of our staff members are exactly where they need to be everyday, just so that we have extra eyes out there," Regis stated. "...And our students know that we are safe at Kenilworth."
Baton Rouge Police say Friday afternoon they arrested 12-year-old. They said he got into a fight on the school bus after school. Police said the student got off the bus, went into his home, grabbed a gun and came back outside and shot the school bus three times.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore says his office is taking the case very seriously.
This is a troubling issue," Moore said. "We need to look at for this particular individual under these circumstances why this happened that is not a good sign."
He said the juvenile will not be tried as an adult, and the case is in Juvenile Court.
School officials say they're doing everything they can to make sure kids know they have someone to turn to.
"Violence is not going to solve the problem. Fighting never solves the problem, speaking with an adult speaking with your parents and resolving the situation without being violent is what we ask them to do," Regis said.

Ferrari have recruited Formula One veteran Pedro de la Rosa to their development driver line-up. The former McLaren tester, who raced for HRT last season and has competed in 106 Grands Prix, will take part in technical, racing and commercial activities for the Italian team.
We decided to add De la Rosa to our group of drivers mainly to strengthen one area, namely work in the simulator, which with the current regulations regarding testing, is becoming ever more important, said Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali.
De la Rosa becomes the third Spanish driver at Ferrari, joining fellow countrymen Fernando Alonso and development driver Marc Gene.
It is amazingly motivating to be working for a team like Ferrari, not just because of what it represents in the history of Formula One and motoring in general, but also because it will be a completely new and very stimulating experience for me, said De la Rosa, 41.
I really hope I can get to work as soon as possible and to help in the development of the car. I am happy to be collaborating with Fernando again and also to be working with Felipe (Massa). Theres not much time until Australia, but there is a lot to do and I am available to help the team from right now.
Speaking at Ferrari's Wrooom ski meeting in Italy, Domenicali also confirmed that the Scuderia will officially launch their 2013 car on February 1 at their Maranello factory. He added that the team are also currently looking at options for Jules Bianchi, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy who was Force India's reserve driver in 2012.
"We are currently trying to find him a role in Formula One and when we have some news, we will let you know, said Domenicali.

The Farm, The Farmer, The History
The Farm
We are a small dairy farm in Ancramdale, New York. There are approximately 80 cows being milked twice a day, every day. The cows have their own names and special place on the farm. Each year we bring a few of our animals to the local fairs in the summer to celebrate the life of farming and the quality of our animals. Each cow is cared for to ensure the most optimal health benefits. Our milk is free from hormones and antibiotics. Nutrition and diet is geared to the gestational needs of each cow. Our dairy cow population grows continually by raising our baby calves up to join the mature milking herd.
Chickens mill about the barnyard and dooryard merrily pecking away at grasses and bugs. Our chickens are from various breeds. The breeds include Ameraucana, Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshires and White Leghorns. The eggs are a variety of colors and sizes depending on the age and breed of the chicken.
Black Angus beef cows are the breed of our choice when raising our beef cows. They spend their days grazing out on the fields. The American Yorkshire pigs are our pigs that round out our farm environment.
Our house pet is a little lamb named Bella. She is great fun and follows the children everywhere. All the herbs and garden plants now need to be placed high out of her reach. She can get herself into some serious trouble by eating all of my plants. In the future, we are looking to add a special pony to appeal to our horse loving three year old.
We are able to drink sweet milk, enjoy creamy yogurt, and have delicious eggs and divine meats year round for both our family and yours.
The Farmer
Farmer George and I met in high school. We were high school sweethearts. Both of us grew up on Dairy farms in Dutchess County. We had our own cows beginning at a young age. Each year we would show at the county fair and work hard with our animals. I also loved to ride horses and I spent many hours riding through trails, out on various games teams, eventing and adventures on horseback.
After college and various work experiences, George and I put our lives and backgrounds together to continue what our families had done before us. We have our cows together and have made a family, home and farm for our children. Today, George works hard day and night caring for the animals. There is always something to do with the animals or in the fields and there is never enough time to do all the work. I help to get off to the markets and develop relationships with market customers and CSA members in order to help create a better life for the children.
The History
General Cochran Farm originated in upstate New York. Doctor Cochran, was born in Pennsylvania in 1730 and served as a surgeon in the Colonial Army. He was a close friend of General Washington. Following the Revolution, General Cochran was appointed by Washington as Commissioner of Loans, in which position he continued until disabled by a paralytic stroke. He then moved to the General Cochran farm house at St. Johnsville. General Washington was a guest to General Cochran's farm and it is recorded that he stayed at the farm as a guest.
It is at this farm and this location that my memory of dairy farming begins. C. Baird Hammond, my grandfather, farmed and managed a herd of Holsteins with the Jackson family. He frequented the State Fair with prized Holstein cattle and worked to develop superior blood lines of cattle recognized in the Holstein industry. The first cow for myself and my brother David to fall in love with was a Reserve All American named Cochran Ivanhoe Ivy. An impressive way to start as a child in the dairy industry.
My father, Dr. David Hammond, grew up on General Cochran's farm in St. Johnsville. After my father graduated from Cornell University as a Veterinarian he relocated to Dutchess County and started his farm and expanded his herd of Holstein cattle. Many of the cattle that had begun on General Cochran's Farm moved south to our new General Cochran farm in Dutchess County.
As time marches on, and change continues, I hope to continue to participate in the dairy industry and bring into your homes the rich dairy products I have known all my life.

Frequently Asked.... and Answered!
Non-homogenized milk means the fat molecules of the milk are intact in their natural state.
Cow's milk contains an enzyme of large molecular size called xanthine oxidase (XO). XO is normally attached to the fat globules in milk. However, when these fat globules are in their natural large-sized state prior to homogenization, they are not easily absorbed by the gut wall.
After homogenization, the milk fat is easily absorbed, and the attached XO gains much greater access to the bloodstream.
Researchers have asserted that XO, after getting into the bloodstream, directly promotes hardening of the arteries by replacing a substance called plasmalogen that is normally found there.
Milk is one-stop shopping for nutrition. It contains nearly all the basic nutrients that a growing child needs: fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals (except iron). Milk puts all these nutrients together in a convenient blend. Realistically, children eat or drink dairy products in greater amounts and more consistently than other foods. Whole milk is a great way to get calcium in a child's diet!
Calcium is the most common mineral in the human body.
About 99% of the calcium in the body is found in bones and teeth, while the other 1% is found in the blood and soft tissue. Calcium levels in the blood and fluid surrounding the cells (extracellular fluid) must be maintained within a very narrow concentration range for normal physiological functioning. The physiological functions of calcium are so vital to survival that the body will demineralize bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels when calcium intake is inadequate. Thus, adequate dietary calcium is a critical factor in maintaining a healthy skeleton.
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder in which bone strength is compromised, resulting in an increased risk of fracture... Calcium is the nutrient consistently found to be most important for attaining peak bone mass and preventing osteoporosis.
The relationship between calcium intake and blood pressure has been investigated extensively over the past two decades... This research indicates that a calcium intake at the recommended level (1,000-1,200 mg/day) may be helpful in preventing and treating moderate hypertension [high blood pressure].
Protein builds and repairs muscle tissue, and serves as a source of energy during high-powered endurance exercise. The protein in milk is high quality, which means it contains all of the essential amino acids or 'building blocks' of protein. An 8-ounce glass of milk provides about 16% of the Daily Value for protein.
Vitamin B12 helps build red blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to working muscles. Just one 8-ounce glass of milk provides about 13% of the Daily Value for this vitamin.
Individuals with lactose intolerance are unable to digest significant amounts of lactose due to an inadequate amount of the enzyme lactase.
Some people with lactose intolerance may believe they are allergic to milk or milk products. A milk allergy, however, is related to the proteins in milk rather than the lactose.

Golden jackal, Canis aureus | |
The jackal is a small carnivorous mammal of the genus Canis, which also includes the wolf, dog, and coyote. While the word "jackal" has historically been used of many small canids, in modern use it most commonly refers to three species: the closely related black-backed jackal and side-striped jackal of sub-Saharan Africa, and the golden jackal of northern Africa and south-central Eurasia.
Jackals and coyotes (sometimes called the "American jackal"[1]) are opportunistic omnivores, predators of small- to medium-sized animals and proficient scavengers. Their long legs and curved canine teeth are adapted for hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and their large feet and fused leg bones give them a physique well-suited for long-distance running, capable of maintaining speeds of 16 km/h (9.9 mph) for extended periods of time. Jackals are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk.
Their most common social unit is that of a monogamous pair which defends its territory from other pairs by vigorously chasing intruding rivals and marking landmarks around the territory with their urine and feces. The territory may be large enough to hold some young adults which stay with their parents until they establish their own territories. Jackals may occasionally assemble in small packs, for example, to scavenge a carcass, but they normally hunt either alone or in pairs.
The English word "jackal" derives, via Turkish çakal, from Persian شغال shaghāl, itself ultimately from or cognate with Sanskrit śṛgālaḥ.[2][3]
The taxonomy of the jackals has evolved with scientific understanding about how they are related on the canid family tree.
Similarities between jackals and coyotes led Lorenz Oken, in 1816, in the third volume of his Lehrbuch der Naturgeschichte, to place these species into a new separate genus, Thos, after the classical Greek word θώς "jackal", but his theory had little immediate impact on taxonomy at the time. Angel Cabrera in his 1932 monograph on the mammals of Morocco, questioned whether or not the presence of a cingulum on the upper molars of the jackals and its corresponding absence in the rest of Canis could justify a subdivision of the genus Canis. In practice, Cabrera chose the undivided-genus alternative and referred to the jackals as Canis instead of Thos.[4]
Oken's Thos theory was revived in 1914 by Edmund Heller, who embraced the separate genus theory. Heller's names and the designations he gave to various jackal species and subspecies live on in current taxonomy, although the genus has been changed from Thos to Canis.[4]
Modern research has clarified the relationships among the "jackal" species. Despite their similarities, jackals do not all stem from the same branch on the canid family tree. The side-striped jackal and black-backed jackal belong to a branch of canids that includes the dhole and African wild dog, while the golden jackal, on the other hand, belongs to a branch which includes the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis), the coyote, and Canis lupus, the grey wolf/domestic dog.[5]
The intermediate size and shape of the Ethiopian wolf has at times led it to be regarded as a jackal, thus it has been called the "red jackal" or the "Simien jackal", but it has more often been considered and called a "wolf".
Species | Trinomial authority | Description | Range |
Side-striped jackal Canis adustus | Sundevall, 1847 | Primarily residing in wooded areas, unlike other jackal species, it is the least aggressive of the jackals, rarely preying on large mammals.[6] | Central and southern Africa |
Golden jackal Canis aureus | Linnaeus, 1758 | The heaviest of the jackals, it is the only species to live outside Africa. Although often grouped with the other jackals, genetic and morphological research indicate the golden jackal is more closely related to the gray wolf and the coyote.[5][7] | Northern Africa, southeastern Europe, the Middle East, western Asia, and South Asia |
Black-backed jackal Canis mesomelas | Schreber, 1775 | The most lightly built jackal, it is considered to be the oldest living member of the genus Canis.[8] It is the most aggressive of the jackals, being known to attack animal prey many times its own weight, and it has more quarrelsome intrapack relationships.[9] | Southern Africa and eastern coast of Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia |
Experiments in Germany with breeding poodles and golden jackals have produced hybrids. The results showed that, unlike wolf–dog hybrids, jackal–dog hybrids show a decrease in fertility, significant communication problems, and an increase of genetic disorders after three generations of interbreeding, much like coydogs.[10]
In Russia, golden jackals are one of the founder breeds of the Sulimov dog, a working dog owned exclusively by Aeroflot and used for bomb detection in airport security.
