Maybe some of the most fun I've had in a theater in a while. A blast from beginning to end, strong Recommend for "Block Party" Good music, and some funny bits. But what made the movie great was the entire plot of moving people who would normally never mix together to get them to come together and have a good time. Easily worth the price of admission.

I had thought this was going to be a comedy concert (and that would be great), but then I read about the lineup... The Roots, Kanye, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, the reformed Fugees, Common, Dead Prez, etc!! No crap P. Diddy or 50 Cent, just the very best hip-hop going. Unbelievable. I can't wait to see it, and while I was originally hoping for Dave, Dave, and more Dave, now I'm hoping that the musical acts get full play. And I know most everyone knows Kanye and The Roots and the Fugees, but I hope this turns people on to Jill Scott. IMO, she's not only one of the greatest singers of the day, she's also a musical genius. The way she bridges everything from hip-hop to soul to jazz, gospel, blues without watering down any of it or coming off as merely a dilettante is just amazing.

I can't wait to see this, as Director Michel Gondry is THE GOD OF FILM. Pick up his "The Works Of The Director" DVD for all the proof you need.

Loved this film! We went in expecting to see a concert video, and it was that, to some extent. But the backstory about the people being mixed in from other places, etc. was a real "message" piece about people coming together. Yes, this isnt' a film that will be Box Office #1, but it should be. Just for the music alone, it's worth the price of admission, but for the story and Dave - great stuff!

chris pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post. there is a message to the film. and what is ironic is that this film was made before dave went on his "hiatus trip," but there are some subtle hints througout the film that he was not comfortable with the direction in which his television vehicle was heading. great movie though, it was a refreshing time at the theater with all of the derivative stuff that that has been available as of late.

I'm not a hip-hop fan, so some of the music didn't appeal to me, though Chappelle was very entertaining in how he put together this concert, literally bringing in people that would never have otherwise set foot in such a venue, but doing so just to bring people together through humor and music, and the bonus was how director Michel Gondry weaved the backstories of the performers, the people and the actual concert into something better than the sum of the parts. I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.

Immigrant women constitute a varied and dynamic population in the United States with 51 percent or 21.2 million of the country's total foreign-born population. Examining key gender-based socioeconomic indicators from origin and fertility to educational attainment and immigration status, this Spotlight raises implications for sending and receiving countries, with respect to labor opportunities, family structure, gender roles, and more.
Read Article
Attention is now squarely focused on the U.S. federal courts where the legal battle over President Obama's executive actions on immigration continues. While congressional efforts to roll back the directives appear to have been put aside, at least temporarily, implementation of the signature deferred action programs announced in November 2014 remains blocked. The administration, however, is moving forward with other aspects of the executive order, as this article explores.
Faced with rising numbers of foreign entries (long- and short-term), China in 2012 adopted new legislation to manage its migration flows—the first reform to the country's immigration law since 1985. With an underlying tension in the legal framework between restricting immigrants deemed unwanted and welcoming those viewed as desirable, this feature examines the exit-entry law's key points.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.
President Obama's sweeping executive action to shield as many as 3.7 million unauthorized immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from deportation is facing tough legal and political challenges. This month's Policy Beat examines the efforts to proceed with implementation of DAPA and the expansion of DACA despite a lawsuit brought by a coalition of 26 states and staunch opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Europe's Schengen agreement eliminated border controls between 25 countries for over 400 million people. Schengen cooperation has come under intense pressure of late, however, and EU Member States are currently considering whether the rules under which it operates ought to be adjusted. Elizabeth Collett provides background and explains what the current debate means for the future of Schengen.
At just under 517,000, immigrant apprehensions in 2010 were the lowest they have been in nearly 40 years. Sheida Elmi and Kristen McCabe analyze the most recent immigration enforcement data on apprehensions, detentions, removals, and returns of noncitizens in the United States.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the halted implementation of Alabama's HB 56, the new DHS prosecutorial discretion policy, the opening of the 2013 diversity visa lottery, and more.
Global migration has doubled in the past 50 years, with about 214 million people currently living outside their countries of origin. The largest driver for migration is work and economic opportunity, and there is evidence to suggest that foreign-born workers suffer from more job-related injuries and illnesses than do the native-born. Doctor Marc B. Schenker discusses some of the available research on the occupational health risks for immigrant populations and the challenges associated with conducting such research.
Of the 14.8 million union members in 2010, 12 percent were foreign born. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the data on immigrant participation in the U.S. labor force and unions.

Good Web Hosting Web hosting service is not a subject to take lightly. Choose the wrong web host and you can find yourself stuck in A Webmasters Nightmare on Dot Com Street. Months and even years of hard work can go down the tubes when your web site is faced with the inability to grow. The trick is to find a web hosting plan that will expand with your web site. When you search for a hosting plan, be sure the web hosting servers are able to support the most common programming languages and features such as PHP, ASP, Java and CGI Pearl scripts. Even if you won't use them right away, having these options now can save you a ton of headaches later. At some point you'll likely want more than a static web site. Good web hosting providers will allow FTP access via clients such as Microsoft Front Page or Dream Weaver, even if they provide an online editor. Sometimes you will find the need to upload and install programs to your web hosting server. Be certain you can upload third party software, which saves time in having to program software yourself. Web hosting packages often come with a free domain name with a hosting plan. You'll want a web host who can host your domain name, but it's always best to purchase your domain. In the event you ever need to move to a different web host, you wont be stuck buying the domain from the domain hosting or web hosting company who will likely overcharge you. Whenever possible, buy your domain name and hosting packages a year or two in advance. There is some speculation that major search engines place more emphasis on web sites who's hosting and domain name have been purchased anywhere from one to five years or more. Avoid web host's who only charge monthly, even if that's all you can afford right now. Web hosting server up time is critical to a web sites performance. Be sure a servers up time is above 98 percent. Many boast 99 percent server up time, so it isn't hard to find a reliable server. The last thing you want is for your visitors to find your site only to discover the server is down. Many first time visitors won't return to a "broken site". Web hosting providers often offer free domain E-mail and sub domains along with your hosting plan. E-mail at your domain, and sub domains are a good thing to have. You'll want as many E-mail addresses and sub domains as you can get. Make sure your web host provides a way to purchase more without having to upgrade your entire hosting package. A good web hosting service will usually provide free software, scripts, and forms. This can save webmasters and developers a whole lot of time that could be better spent in marketing. As a rule of thumb, the more free web hosting tools a web host provides, the better. Not only do these freebies save time, they will save you money too. When your web hosting service can support many programming languages, FTP access, software or file uploads, hosting and domain name hosting for extended periods, plus free domain E-mail and sub domains that can be purchased separately, along with free scripts and tools, with good server up time, you'll have the backbone in place for a successful, dynamic, and expandable web site.

DUNCAN IS STILL LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME. He is 65lb, cockapoo/pit/hound mix who will be 1yr old on February 15th. He needs a home with NO KIDS!! And a large yard. He needs an owner with experience handling dogs with fear aggression. He doesn't trust new people and it takes him time to get used to new people. During this time, he barks, snarls, growls, darts away if the new person tries to touch him, etc. He is very intimidating to new people, but once he warms up, he is the absolute best friend you could ever have. I have spoken with behaviorists about his 'problems' and have been told the behavior can more than likely be managed at the ... (Read More)least and at the most the behavior could be completely reversed, but we don't have the financial ability to provide him with that training. He is an amazing dog and a snuggle bug. We believe he was abused in his last home, causing him to act aggressively towards children he doesn't know and fear adults, especially men. He was born last year in a litter that my dog had, unexpected. He was placed at 12wks old and came home about 4mths ago due to biting a child. The family threatened if we didn't pick him up, they would be putting him to sleep, so we picked him up that day and have worked with him since he came home. He has learned all basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, come, paw and call back. He is also neutered and up to date on shots as well as completely house trained and crate trained. We will be asking a $120 re-homing fee, vet reference, home check and an adoption contract. He will go with his large crate, Thundershirt (anti-anxiety jacket for dogs), dishes, collar and leash.

Black Fawn Distribution is set to officially release the horror/thriller "In the House of Flies" on Tuesday October 8th, 2013. Black Fawn Distribution has been responsible for releasing quality genre films over the last year including "If a Tree Falls, "Devil's Night" and "The Legend of the Psychotic Forest Ranger." "In The House of Flies" marks the company's fourth release in an ever growing catalog of Canadian horror films.
Directed by Gabriel Carrer (If a Tree Falls, Desperate Souls) and staring Ryan Kotack, Lindsay Smith and Ryan Barrett (Neverlost, Ejecta, The Post Lifers), "In the House of Flies" is a slow burn horror/thriller set in the late 1980s. The film revolves around the captivity of a young couple as their abductor torments them with no explanation for his motives. It's a truly terrifying experience as it places the audience in the shoes of the film's protagonists, revealing only what they see and the horror that they're subjected to.
""In the House of Flies" is a very personal project for myself and [writer] Angus McLellan," explains director Gabriel Carrer. "My background is in theatre and so I wanted to helm something that returned me to my roots and explored the simple elements of horror. I wanted to work on something that had more of a theatrical experience to it during the filming process. Everything from the set, the performances and even the scene changes were based on stage nuances. It was a challenge directing only two actors in a small crammed space but it gave me the opportunity to really explore delivery and composition."
It's a sentiment that's been shared by audiences and critics worldwide as "In the House of Flies" has screened at multiple film festivals around the world including Spain's Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival, Mexico's Feratum Film Festival and Toronto's Blood In The Snow Film Festival where it received Best Feature and Best Director honors. In addition, Ain't It Cool News said this about the film: "I can't praise this film enough for how successful it was at making such a simple story so emotionally taxing, so intricately detailed, and so heavily nuanced."
"I think that when you look at horror films today, there's a lot of emphasis placed on how much blood you can spill," states Black Fawn Distribution's Sales Manager C.F. Benner. "Horror fans love those films just like we do but, sometimes it's the psychological horror that's the most terrifying. I think that's what audiences are really going to love about "In the House of Flies." It's a really visceral experience that's grounded in the real world."
The "In the House of Flies" DVD comes packed with special features including deleted scenes, trailers and an exclusive behind the scenes documentary of the filmmakers' trip to Spain for their European premiere. "In the House of Flies" can be pre-ordered now on DVD or as part of a limited edition package at http://www.blackfawndistribution.com/BFD-ITHOF-PREORDER.html

Kansas City (Feb. 10, 2010) – Les Shockley knows how to put on a good show.
Of course, some might say it would be difficult not to inspire jaw dropping "oohs" and "awes" when you drive a 1957 Chevrolet truck that produces 25,000 horsepower from two jet engines.
That's exactly what Shockley will do during several Super Chevy Show series events in 2010. Shockley will help kick off the 30th anniversary season of the Super Chevy Show by driving his Super Shockwave Chevy jet truck down the quarter-mile track at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the season opener March 19-21.
"The '57 Chevy jet truck is without a doubt the most exciting thing when it comes to Chevrolet and the fans at the Super Chevy shows will absolutely love it," Shockley said. "I'm thrilled with the new owners of the Super Chevy Show series (SCSW, LLC.), because they are hiring the best-of-the-best to be at the shows this year. I think this is going to be a great partnership and I know the fans will love seeing the jet truck."
Bill Bader, owner of Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio and host of the June 11-13 event, said the owners were eager to bring the fastest Chevy truck in the world to as many events as possible. Shockley set the record for speed with the truck by going 405 mph from a standing start down a mile-long strip.
"We wanted to make sure our fans get to see the top entertainment," Bader said. "That includes the Super Shockwave truck, which is recognized as the fastest Chevy truck in the world. The truck runs on two Pratt & Whitney J-34-48 engines and when you see this truck, you can't help but be in awe of the noise, the fire, the heat, the speed and the fact that it is a '57 Chevy truck.
"In terms of jet-powered vehicles, this is one of the top features and we are thrilled Shockley will be at so many events this year."
Shockley has been running the '57 Chevy jet truck for 18 years and is equally excited to be part of the 30th anniversary Super Chevy Show series. He said he wants to be part of the show for years to come.
"I'm just excited about the whole thing," Shockley said. "The Super Chevy Show has a bright future and it's in good hands. They now have the best-of-the-best in terms of owners and tracks. At one time the Super Chevy Show was one of the biggest shows out there and it will be again in a very short amount of time."
Racers, car show participants, fans, vendors and sponsors can call 800-692-6230 for more information on the Super Chevy Show series or go online at www.superchevyshow.com for details on 2010′s 30th anniversary season.

Safety Shut-off Transmitter/Receiver system to debut at Winternationals
February 4, 2010 by Benjamin Tuttle (Ticketing Manager)
Filed under Featured Articles, Latest News
Comments Off
The Safety Shut-off system is made up of two parts, (above) a vehicle-mounted receiver (arrow) and a guardwall-mounted transmitter (below).
All participants in the Top Fuel dragster and Funny Car classes will be required to use an Electrimotion Safety Shut-off Receiver at the season-opening 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals presented by Valvoline.
The Safety Shut-off Receiver, small enough to fit into a shirt pocket and weighing less than 6 ounces, is installed near the rear of the car on both dragsters and Funny Cars and will activate the previously mandated Electrimotion Safety Shut-off Box when it receives a unique digital message sent to it by the Electrimotion Safety Shut-off Transmitter. The Shut-off Transmitter, which is only slightly larger than the receiver, will be mounted to the guardwall approximately 400 feet past the finish line.
The complete system will initiate a vehicle shutdown sequence – turning off both the ignition and fuel systems and deploying the braking parachute – in the event that the driver is not able to do so.
Only a car passing in close proximity to the transmitter can receive the message, which will help ensure that the receiver does not trigger the system prior to the finish line. A second redundant transmitter will be mounted 600 feet past the finish line on the opposite guardwall from the first transmitter. This redundant transmitter will act as a backup to the primary transmitter in the event the receiver does not receive the message from the first transmitter.
NHRA worked closely with Electrimotion during the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series season to test this new safety system. First tests were performed with a few Top Fuel and Funny Car teams using their cars' existing onboard data-acquisition systems to help monitor performance of the transmitter and receivers. Based on the results of that testing, adjustments were made to both the transmitter and receiver design to optimize performance. Final full-system testing was done during competition at the last two races of the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series season.
Recently, several teams successfully used the system during preseason testing at Firebird Int'l Raceway. "The system worked flawlessly for us during our preseason testing," said reigning NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car world champion Robert Hight. "It is a comfort knowing that this system can shut down my engine and deploy my parachutes if I am unable to do so for any reason."

Right on the heels of his successful Monterey event which generated over $31M in sales, Dana Mecum is headed to the Lone Star state to host another auction extravaganza, September 4th through the 7th. This will be Mecum's third year for his annual Dallas event held at the convention center and will be loaded with over 1400 collector cars featuring over a hundred Corvettes including several examples of the six generations.
One of our favorite models from the 1960′s is up for grabs this weekend at Mecum's 2013 Dallas auction. It's a rare Red/Red 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe with the Z06 racing package. The Red Corvette Split Window comes from the Buddy Herin Collection which also is offering a 1967 L88 Corvette Convertible we featured last month.
We've been a little C7 heavy here lately so here's a C2 to mix things up. Mecum Auctions will be offering an uber rare 1967 L88 convertible next month at their Dallas sale. The Marlboro Maroon on black roaster will be crossing Mecum's red carpet about 2:30pm central time on Saturday, September 7th. It's one of 11 cars being offered from the Buddy Herin collection that weekend in Texas. Get your banker on the phone now, because this one is going to be expensive, really expensive.
Barrett-Jackson's 2013 tour rolls into Reno, NV this weekend for their first ever Hot August Nights auction. The event replaces their old Orange County auction from the previous few years. The diverse vehicle docket includes 34 Corvettes, all but one of which will be selling at no reserve. The three day event kicks off Thursday, August 8th and runs through Saturday, August 10th. SPEED and FUEL TV will have 18 hours of combined live coverage from the event.

Here's your chance to buy a C2 Corvette with an unusual past and an unusual look.

SAN RAMON -- Chevron said it made another natural gas discovery off the shore of Australia, adding to Chevron's portfolio in the region, where the company has major LNG projects.
Chevron said the discovery well, located in the Carnarvon Basin about 106 miles northwest of Barrow Island, encountered approximately 132 ft of net gas pay. The well, located in 3,570 ft of water, was drilled to a total depth of 11,909 ft.
Melody Meyer, President of Chevron's Asia-Pacific exploration and development unit said a string of discoveries in the Carnarvon Basin has created a robust gas portfolio in Australia, which helps position Chevron to supply future LNG demand in the Asia Pacific region.
Chevron Australia is the operator, with a 50% interest.

LONDON -- Tullow Oil announces the completion of its acquisition of Spring Energy Norway that was previously announced on 11 December 2012. Roar Tessem, Spring's CEO, will be Managing Director of Tullow's Norwegian companies and will have responsibility for Tullow's assets offshore Norway and Greenland.
This acquisition has already brought success for Tullow. Last week Spring was awarded 13 licences, of which 4 are operated, in Norway's very competitive 2012 Awards in Predefined Areas licensing round. The new licences are highly complementary and mostly adjacent to current acreage held. The new acreage is located in all three areas of the highly prospective Norwegian Continental Shelf – North Sea, Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea.
Tullow and Spring independently submitted applications in Norway's 22nd licencing round, the results of which are expected to be announced in Q2 2013 and cover licences in less mature areas of Norway's offshore acreage.

The Big Bear City Fire Department welcomed their two new paid-call firefighters, Tom Morgan and Justin Ploense, during the Board of Directors meeting of the Community Services District on April 20. Fire Chief Jeff Willis also introduced the first three members of the department's inaugural Apprentice Firefighter Program, which will allow trainees the opportunity to do shift work at the station, while also continuing their education; though full-time employment is not assured after completion of the program, it offers a win-win for both trainees and the department, which will have qualified candidates to draw from when needed. Apprentice firefighters include Roger LaVoire (who has been a PCF with the department since 2005 and is just three months from completing his paramedic schooling), Justin Fluke (who has been with the department for a year) and Robert Whitmore (who joined the team in 2006 and is nearly done with his training as a paramedic). Chief Willis told the CSD Board that he is most proud of the Big Bear City Fire Department's paid-call firefighter program, which often fields high school graduates who have been a part of Firefighter Bob Barnett's Firefighter Explorer program—in doing this, notes Willis, the Big Bear City Fire Department is keeping with the Lighthouse Project's vision for a child-honoring community.

Bigbad, It has been a number of years since I owned a .38 Super. I had a wonderful Colt Comander .38 Super and traded it off bad move. It as I recall with hot hand loads was between a .45 ACP and a 9MM. They shoot very flat out to 75 yards.

8 Ways to Get Late-Summer Color in Your Garden
This bevy of beautiful blooms will fill your garden with color through the fall season.
Primroses come in shades of amethyst, gold, garnet, sapphire, and pink tourmaline; some are even edged with silver. Yet for all their beauty, not even frost and rain can hurt them.
In mild-winter areas, primroses are on the market from October through early spring. In snowy areas, plants appear in late February or March.
Give bedding plants an application of complete, controlled-release fertilizer every three months or so. For container plants, apply a half-strength liquid fertilizer twice a month.

Brandon Beachy SP LAD 2 weeks ago
Beachy (elbow) threw off a mound Tuesday and worked on his mechanics during a lengthy session, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.
Beachy, who is returning from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, is targeting a return around the All-Star break. He appears to be progressing as expected thus far, and if healthy by midseason, will represent an excellent fallback option if the historically fragile Brandon McCarthy and Brandon McCarthy fail to hold up at the back end of the rotation.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 month ago
Beachy agreed to a one-year contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an option for 2016, Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports.The Braves declined to tender Beachy a contract in December, making him a free agent, after the right-hander missed the entire 2014 season following Tommy John surgery. It was his second reconstructive elbow surgery in two years, and the Dodgers will be conservative in bringing him through his rehabilitation with an eye toward activation around the All-Star break. Beachy could be an option to start once healthy, but if the rotation remains intact, he could be ticketed for the bullpen.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 month ago
Beachy (elbow) has signed a one year, major league contract with the Dodgers, Fox's Ken Rosenthal reports.Beachy is recovering from his second Tommy John surgery in two years and likely won't be up in the majors until late in the season. He missed all of 2014 after undergoing the procedure in March.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 4 months ago
The Braves declined to tender Beachy (elbow) a contract, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Beachy would have been in line for only a very slight increase in salary (from 1.45 million) via arbitration after missing all of 2014 following Tommy John surgery, but the Braves ultimately decided those funds would be better allocated elsewhere. The right-hander's reconstructive elbow surgery was his second such procedure in less than two years, but the Braves do reportedly have some interest in bringing Beachy back at a reduced cost.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 5 months ago
Beachy (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day DL.
Little has been reported in terms of Beachy's progress from Tommy John surgery in recent months, but considering it was his second such procedure in less than two years, it seems likely the Braves will be especially cautious in bringing through the rehabilitation process. Thus, the team figures to turn elsewhere to begin 2015, and the uncertainty regarding Beachy's return will make him tough to value come draft day.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 year ago
Braves transferred RHP Brandon Beachy from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Beachy underwent Tommy John surgery last month. The Braves will hope to get him back early on next season.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 year ago
Brandon Beachy is scheduled to undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery Friday in Los Angeles.
Beachy, like teammate Kris Medlen, will miss the entire 2014 season and possibly part of 2015. It's the second Tommy John elbow procedure for both Braves pitchers. Beachy, 27, owns a fantastic 3.23 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 267 2/3 career major league innings. He will be missed.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 year ago
Brandon Beachy will have his injured right elbow reevaluated on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The expectation is that Beachy will require Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery, which would put him out for the entire 2014 season. The Braves announced Monday that Kris Medlen needs Tommy John surgery -- the second of his career. It's been a heartbreaking spring.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 year ago
Braves general manager Frank Wren said Friday that even with the possibility that Brandon Beachy could need a second Tommy John surgery, the team is not considering adding another starting pitcher.
With the news earlier in the week that Kris Medlen would need his second operation, the team quickly went out and signed Ervin Santana. As it stands, they appear to be content with a rotation featuring Santana, Julio Teheran, Alex Wood, Freddy Garcia and David Hale to begin the season, while Mike Minor and Gavin Floyd work their way back from injuries.
Brandon Beachy SP LAD 1 year ago
Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that it "sounds like" Brandon Beachy (elbow) could need Tommy John surgery.
Beachy was told after he left a game last Monday with tightness in his elbow and biceps that his ligament was OK, but it appears that might not be the case. "I was confident when I left (Monday's game)," he said. "That was based on what I was told... Now it looks like it might be something else." It's obviously terrible news for Beachy, who could be headed for his second Tommy John operation in the last 17 months. With Beachy and Kris Medlen both likely going under the knife, the Braves' rotation could be in trouble even after the addition of Ervin Santana.

A wonderful woman with a true and honorable character. So beautiful on the inside that it radiates out on the outside. Long strong coloured hair, small yet captivating eyes, cute high cheeks and lusciously full lips that are always moist and ready for the kiss. An amazing chest, curvy hips and a blessed ass-et give her an outstanding body that is ready to be sexed by a strong man. However Sherima is not easily swooned, she is a positive individual and will not devalue herself for anyone else but once she says she will give you her all, she will.
Wow! That Sherima is inspirational, she will definitely be successful someday and she's HOTT too!

Please join us on Monday, April 8, 6:30 pm, for a discussion of the science fiction classic, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. Copies of the book are available at the branch.
Summary: Mars is a place of hope, dreams and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars ... and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.
Here are some good choices for those times when you just want a sweet diversion from life's problems, or an inspiring story to make you want to keep on trying:

But soon Bazarov's outspoken rejection of authority and social conventions touches off quarrels, misunderstandings, and romantic entanglements that will utterly transform the Kirsanov household and reflect the changes taking place all across nineteenth-century Russia.
Join us for a discussion of author Jamaica Kincaid and her novel, Annie John, on Monday, February 4, 2013, 6:30 pm.

I've read quite a few threads about using SS braid or a SS false bottom, but what about using a cut to fit piece of dense open cell foam 1" thick? The grain will sit on top of it and all the wort will flow through the foam. As an added bonus, the foam will also act as a filter.
Has anyone heard of doing this?
looks like it would float. and not sure about the food safety. not to sure about that. interesting concept though.
I have not heard of anyone doing this.What is the makeup of the foam?I'd be interested in how it copes with hot wort(chemical leaching-wise).
I would consider using it if it's safe.I have a lot of trouble with my braid as I stir my grains in the mash.
Never heard of it but it's an interesting idea. Assuming you can keep it from floating and it's food safe, I bet it'd work pretty good, too. You might have to change it every time since I imagine it will get nasty while you wait for the next brew day.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
- Benjamin Franklin (and I don't care if this quote has been largely discredited/misquoted...I like it!)
Beer, if drank with moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.
- Thomas Jefferson
Ah, the old mash pad.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/wtf-...ashpad-182801/
Interesting never really thought of this wouldn't see floating being a problem if you have enough grain to keep it down, seems the only thing to worry about would be if it leached chemicals into your wort or not, you would want to put the pad facing the same way every time so the particles that get stuck stayed in, but it seems like it would work though, gets the gears turning.
Man boob ale?
Hormone altering chemicals are suspected of being a reason why men are now getting man boobs. This includes a common chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), which is found in a range of plastics.
I would be very careful even with the "food safe" ones due to the heat, pH etc in the mash tun. The Bis-phenols are found in some plastics that are allowed to touch food...
more than moderate consumption of alcohol has also shown to reduce and/or inhibit secretion of testosterone in males, ie the big frat boys that get man boobs after rushing....
Of course, moderation should always be key anyways.... I'm sure you could anchor or tie it down to the bottom to prevent it from floating, but i think the issue of it getting a stuck sparge is a bigger concern, since you have tiny tiny pathways that smaller particles that would normally pass through the stainless screen would get stuck in the small pathways of a sponge that also have a larger distance to travel through the depth of the sponge vs a screen. That and I could see you having to replace the foam/sponge pretty often as well.
When I was a kid we put those Styrofoam peanuts in our gerbals cage. Thought it would be fun for them. They ate it. They died a day later. Maybe your not eatng it but I would worry about chemicals.
