Plainfield, VT
The customer service was fantastic! I'm glad I called in instead of ordering on-line, there were a lot of choices and I found it a little overwhelming at first until I called in. The representative (sorry, I forgot her name...maybe Shona) was great...very helpful and always cheerful, she sounded like she really enjoyed her job and knew what she was talking about. I was very impressed when I got an email stating that your company would like to make a donation to our cause! I will definitely be a repeat customer and will highly recommend your company...all around, very impressed! I wish there were more companies out there like yours!:)
Renton, WA
As I've said in quite a few emails, I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience all four years we have worked with you so far. DJ was awesome this year. He was my first contact with the company for this year's order. I worked with Emy last year and she remembered us this year when we came in contact with her again. I was thrilled that the company donated to our cause. It meant a lot to us! Lastly, I was thrilled with both the quality of the product, and the swiftness with which we received it. I had the box in my hand 4 days after I gave the final ok to my product. That is impressive! The icing on the cake is your picture contest. I realize it is your way of doing more advertising, but the fact that you give $100 off the winner's next order is just over the top. Thank you ! Team Sydney will surely see you next year.
Lebanon, PA
I really love the art supplied on the website. I had a super fun time designing my shirt and actually had a hard time deciding on which of my many designs to go with. The design process was very easy to use, and the price quotes came up right away. I decided to have my design printed on several different shirts and so placed my order by phone. There probably is a way to do that online and get the multi-shirt discount, but I found it easier to do by phone. The sales person I dealt with was very friendly. My order came on time, was well packed, looks good, and was very fairly priced. No more running around buying shirts one place, cajoling friends to design something cool, and then finding a printer. Custom Ink is much easier, and I am very pleased with the finished results.
Los Angeles, CA
I had a lot of contact with individuals at CustomInk as they tried to resolve my issues with using the disney name. Everyone I interacted with at CustomInk was excellent. Eventhough I spoke with different people, it seemed seamless. And the fact that none of that delayed my order was a huge bonus! Congratulations on building such a great customer service organization!
Milton, MA
Everything was great as usual! I mostly appreciate how wonderful the customer service is. Everyone I've gotten over the last couple years has been a pleasure to work with. Thanks.

Hingham, MA
CustomInk was great to work with. Once I had my initial design chosen, I used the online chat to get some feedback on my general design and layout of text/artwork - totally helpful. Then things got trickier because I had wanted to use a photo upload onto a performance/tech shirt, but Cat and her team were both patient and helpful. They revised the design and offered suggestions and were great to work with. Once I approved the final design, the t-shirts arrived days later. Thank you for all your help!

CustomInk has been more than helpful throughout the entire process of ordering our jerseys for Breast Cancer Awareness! Everyone at customer service was extremely personalable, and helped make our order customized to fit our specifications. Many thanks, CustomInk. You will be hearing from us again in the future!

Bradley senior forward Taylor Brown (Atlanta, Ga./Dunwoody H.S.) has been voted honorable mention All-Missouri Valley Conference in a league-wide vote of The Valley's head coaches, sports information directors, primary beat writers and radio play-by-play announcers.
Brown, who tied for sixth in the voting for the MVC Larry Bird Player-of-the-Year Award with one third-place vote, is the league's sixth-leading scorer at 14.8 points per game and ninth-leading rebounder at 6.4 boards per game. He was averaging 16.7 points and 7.0 rebounds until suffering an injury to his right (shooting) wrist Feb. 1 against Evansville, then missed the season's final three games when he partially tore a ligament in his right big toe while making a steal Feb. 15 against Drake.
Brown's status for the MVC Tournament continues to be evaluated. He was the only Bradley player to earn all-conference accolades Tuesday. The league office will announce the 2012 MVC All-Bench and Most-Improved Teams Wednesday and the Scholar-Athlete Team March 6.
The Braves (7-24, 2-14 MVC) are the No. 10 seed for this week's State Farm MVC Tournament at the Scottrade Center and will take on No. 7 seed Drake (16-14, 9-9 MVC) in a first-round game at 8:35 p.m. Thursday. A rematch of the same game in the 2011 tournament, Thursday's game will be televised by the MVC-TV Network, though it will not be available on FS Midwest in Central Illinois due to a conflict with the St. Louis Blues game. The telecast will air on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, as well as FS Indiana, FS Kansas City (outside Blues viewing areas), and will be streamed online by ESPN3.
The Honorable Taylor Brown

The Effects of Red Wine Polyphenols on Microvascular Dysfunction

- How to Read a Study Record
Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of alcoholic beverages, red wine in particular, is associated with less cardiovascular mortality. In addition, there are reported beneficial effects of red wine on components of the metabolic syndrome, arguably the most menacing cardiometabolic condition facing us due to the unfolding obesity epidemic. Beneficial effects have also been reported with other polyphenol-rich food stuff, such as cocoa and green tea and points to a beneficial effect which does not seem to be dependent on the alcohol content of red wine. Experimental studies with mixed or separate Red Wine Polyphenols (RWPs) (i.e. without alcohol) have shown beneficial effects on cardiometabolic parameters associated with obesity. Most research has focused on resveratrol, a specific polyphenol components which is quite specific to red wine and has, at least in animal studies, beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and endothelial function. Moreover, RWPs have shown to improve endothelial NO-mediated relaxation using the same PI3-kinase/Akt pathway as does insulin. However, data in humans are remarkably scarce
To study effects of RWPs on insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, microvascular function (skin, muscle and cardiac), blood pressure, insulin-mediated microvascular responsiveness.

Charles Fine Art Portraits
Portrait artist Charles Waugh visualizes and executes stunning portraits of his subjects, drawing out inner personalities and highlighting exterior beauty to the delight of such renowned clients as Katie Harman-Eber, Miss America 2002, or Tom Potter, the 50th mayor of Portland. Charles works closely with every client, creating the ideal setting, lighting, and mood for each shoot, and employing his expertise in photo enhancement to touch up and soften images as much or as little as a client would like. He attacks his craft with an eye for detail, evident in his careful selection of backdrops and lighting that draw in the viewer's eye and flatter faces. This skill has extended into his invention of the smartphone SlingShot, which steadies smartphones as they record video, capture vacation moments, or deploy streams of water from their prank apps.
Far more than merely creating fine photography, Charles Fine Art Portraits maintains a strong commitment to community service. The company has donated more $100,000 every year to noble causes such as Doernbecher Children's Hospital, Girls, Inc., and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Quick Take: Samsung HZ30W
CNET did not review the Samsung HZ30W, but we did review the Samsung HZ35W, which is very similar.
The differences between the two are few and nothing related to image quality or performance. The higher-end HZ35W has built-in GPS for geotagging photos; a 3-inch, 614K-dot-resolution AMOLED display; and Samsung's Smart Auto scene-recognition mode is available for photos and video. The HZ30W does not have GPS, uses a 2.7-inch, 230K-dot-resolution LCD, and has Smart Auto for photos only.

House Bill 171 did not make it out of committee this year in Virginia's legislature, but had it become law Virginia would have become another in the small but growing set of states that would prohibit employers from creating policies that stop gun owners from lawfully storing firearms in their car at work. These types of laws are generally called "parking lot" laws. Though they are often pushed by the NRA at the state level, the reaction to these efforts by gun owners in blogs and forums is usually luke-warm.
The thinking is usually along the following lines: employers have property rights and our individual gun rights do not trump them. This is empathy because nobody likes to be told what to do with their property. But is it really that simple? Don't rights bring responsibilities? If gun owners take on responsibilities to have their gun rights, don't property owners take on responsibilities to have their property rights?
I'm no legal theorist, but after a little digging it would seem the responsibilities of employers goes even further than responsibilities the employer may have from being a property owner. If you as a home-owning property owner allowed a visitor to be injured on your property, you could be held liable for it. The same is true for an employer. Additionally, an employer can be held liable for working conditions that have nothing to do with the property, things ranging from sexual harassment to carpal tunnel syndrome. Much of these liabilities stem from the Federal OSHA regulations and state-level equivalents of OSHA.
The Narrative is Wrong.
The other thing I discovered is that much of what people commonly think regarding workplace gun violence is just wrong. We've all heard the term "going postal", which comes from the series of US Post Office shootings that took place in the 80's and 90's. It maybe this single expression that gives the general public the idea that guns in the workplace might lead to coworkers shooting each other.
But the statistics don't prove it out. First, shootings account for a very small percentage of workplace fatalities, 8% according to the Bureau of Labor Statics. And of that small percentage, only 12% of those are classified as worker-on-worker violence.
Simply put, "going postal" is not a reasonable workplace concern. If it were, OSHA would likely have guidelines regarding guns in the workplace, which they don't -- a fact noted in by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ramsey Winch, Inc. v. Henry and the US District Court of the Northern District of Florida in Florida Retail Federation, Inc. (see Legal Illustrations Of Workplace Gun Laws And Their Implications On Employers And Human Resource Managers, which is by no means a pro-gun document). Incidentally, both of these court cases were challenges to state parking lot laws.
So where does the narrative regarding co-worker violence, the premise for fighting parking lot laws, come from? While the "going postal" meme is certainly a bit of pop culture, it is likely that many employers and HR departments have armed themselves with faulty studies, which usually turns out to be the same study published twice. That study ignored critical factors as has been noted by the NRA-ILA.
The Real Story.
The truth about parking lot laws can probably be determined by looking at the Brady Campaign's own webpage on the subject, which shows that there are quite a few states that already have these laws: Idaho, Montana, Utah, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alaska, and Minnesota. And that list hasn't been shrinking; for the last five years it has been growing. Yet, workplace violence -- like violence in general in America -- has been decreasing.
The real story of parking lot laws will not likely be known for some time, but given all we know today it would appear that it follows the same trend line as other gun rights issues -- more guns, less crime.
Unrelated But Interesting.
The use of general duties to protect employees by employers under OSHA guidelines, as was the premise behind the challenge to Oklahoma's parking lot law, does not seem to be going away. Recently in Tennessee, a server at Jackson's Bar and Restaurant filed a complaint to overturn Tennessee's new restaurant carry law. The idea is so nifty, that an injury lawyer in Colorado thinks it should be the basis of a suit to overturn student concealed carry at the University of Colorado and Colorado State University. Fortunately for Tennesseans, Tennessee OHSA has rejected the complaint. And hopefully the Colorado ambulance chaser is just blowing smoke.

History is cool. If you read the right history books, they sound like exciting thrillers, full of murder, lies, lust and everything else that would, in theory, make a good film. Unfortunately, screenwriters often think that they can one-up the truth. They take an historical name and strip and rewrite the character's life story until -- sometimes -- there's nothing but the name left in common. In the case of BBC's show, Merlin, rewriting history (and possibly legend) has worked quite well. Sadly, there are also times when it's just a blatant lie that offends anybody who is even somewhat attached to the character -- even if they just happen to have the same name or country of origin.
Here are eleven, both the fantastic and the awful.

Hi guys, I need some help Recently helped a friend make a really nice hope chect, similar to the two hope chests I made for my kids. His is made with oak. The project came out beautiful, we'll post it soon. The problem developed after the finish was applied. The top twisted and lifted about 2" on the front side so now it does not sit flat anymore. Prior to finishing the top was perfectly flat and looked great. The design of the top of the chest is like my "More Hope" project. So the question …... Can one remove atrwist after the stain and poly is applied? I'm thinking cleats might not hurt but probably won't help much either. The cleats I'm thinking about are like the one's on the new cover of Fine Woodworking. My buds Hope Chest is about the same size but all glued up solid wood. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Bob -- Bob A in NJ |


text: Popular Persian Food 6 Popular Persian Dishes to Celebrate Iranian New Year by Lisette Mejia 3/27/13 6 Reactions 297 Shares Print 59 228 10 0 0 Nowruz, the Persian New Year, kicked off last week, and we want to honor the big celebration the best way we know how — with food. Here, get the scoop on dishes that are popular both in Iran and here in the US, because you might be familiar with kebabs, but have you ever heard of fesenjoon or baghali polo? We have a feeling once you click through, you'll want to make the flavor-packed meals in your own kitchen — because if there's one word that does not describe Persian food, it's boring. Source: Shutterstock, Flickr, and Turmeric and Saffron Albaloo Polo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Red cherries meet rice in this traditional Persian dish. Albaloo polo (or rice with sour cherries) typically calls for the two main ingredients plus pistachios, spices, and yogurt. The result? A dish that's a mix of sweet and tart flavors. Source: Shutterstock 1 / 6 Joojeh and Koobideh Kebab What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No Persian food roundup would be complete without mention of kebabs. Two of the most popular are grilled joojeh (chicken marinated in minced onion, saffron, and lemon juice) and koobideh (minced lamb or beef usually cooked with parsley). If you want to try both, you're in luck — they're often served together. Source: Flickr user arnold | inuyaki 2 / 6 Fesenjoon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Looking for a delicious dish that's made with just two main ingredients? Look no further than fesenjoon, a thick stew cooked using pomegranate juice or syrup and ground walnuts. It's usually prepared with chicken and rice and, as you might guess, gives off both a sweet and sour taste. Source: Turmeric and Saffron 3 / 6 Tahdig What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You might consider burning rice a kitchen accident, but in Persian cuisine, it's a culinary staple. Crunchy rice is a favorite, one that's achieved by hitting the right temperature, pouring the perfect amount of oil, and not letting the rice burn too much. Other similar dishes include crispy bread and potatoes. Source: Shutterstock 4 / 6 Baghali Polo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Baghali polo is a pretty simple dish, but one that's incredibly tasty. The vegetarian meal consists of just rice and lima beans — it's so versatile, though, that you can eat it alone or incorporate it into a variety of dishes, such as risotto and chicken. Source: Flickr user Tavallai 6 / 6 Ghormeh Sabzi What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some people call it Iran's national dish, and there's a good reason why. The überpopular ghormeh sabzi is an aromatic herb stew cooked using parsley, onion, cilantro, spinach, turmeric, and other flavor-packed ingredients. Like many Persian recipes, some versions call for the addition of beef or lamb.

Celebrate with Marimekko
Are you familiar with Finnish design house Marimekko? Marimekko offers clothing, bags, furnishings, interior design items and fabrics - amazing fabrics. They have so many great items this Holiday season that I wanted to introduce the company a little bit better for you. Also - I'm hosting a $100 gift card giveaway at Skimbaco Home to FinnStyle.com, one of Marimekko's premier retailers - make sure to visit there for a chance to get some Marimekko for the holidays!
Marimekko was founded in 1951 in Finland by visionary Armi Ratia, and became well-known in the US in the 60's thanks to Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore Marimekko dresses throughout the 1960 US Presidential campaign.
You may remember your mother and grandmother dressing in Marimekko, and Crate and Barrel started selling their interior products decades ago. In the early 90's Marimekko had financial difficulties, but the company received a new visionary owner, and Marimekko has grown ever since. Marimekko is one of those rare Finnish companies that people associate with Finland, and Finnish culture has been part of their branding since the beginning. (Nokia and Fiskars, for example, are equally as Finnish as Marimekko, but they don't include it in their branding). Marimekko's fashion shoots have been done in the idyllic Finnish countryside and the fabric prints are inspired by Finnish nature. The names of the products are still in Finnish and sold un-translated worldwide.
The company has always had bold, colorful prints, as well as minimalistic black and white designs. Two of the most loved ones are Unikko, the poppy flower print, and Kivet, the print with dots. The children's Bo Boo car print is also adored by children and parents worldwide. Marimekko is also loved by Carrie Bradshaw, the character played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City TV show and movie. Carrie wore Marimekko bikinis and dresses in the TV show, and had Marimekko curtains both in the TV show and in her new apartment in the movie. I have been spotting Marimekko's prints in other Hollywood movies as well.
During the spring of 2008, Marimekko had some exciting joint ventures with Avon, H&M and Manolo Blahnik, and they hired new designers. This year Marimekko wallpaper rolled into stores, and while minimalism is still big and bold in Marimekko's look book, there are even more colors and detailed prints. Today Marimekko goes stronger than ever.
Marimekko's Holiday 2009 catalogue just came out, and I wanted to share Sanna Annukka's whimsical prints, which are very traditionally Finnish and yet modern. They come alive in red, green and white. You can find many of these products from FinnStyle.

The St. Petersburg Times was founded in 1884 as the West Hillsborough Times, with an original circulation of 480. More than a century and 8 Pulitzer Prize Awards later, the St. Petersburg Times has grown to become the largest newspaper in Florida and the 25th largest in the United States, with a daily readership of over 591,000 and Sunday readership of approximately 966,000. Its website, Tampabay.com, is a major media destination for west-central Florida, providing users with breaking news, video, in-depth reporting, and blogs, as well as links to other St. Petersburg Times' projects, such as its politics site, Politifact.com.
Business Challenge:
As the journalism industry continues to face declining readership, newspapers such as the St. Petersburg Times are relying on websites to engage readers. While Tampabay.com has been up and running for years, it had never really taken advantage of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to grow its traffic. When it decided to start taking baby steps with SEO, link building, and social networking, Tampabay.com had some early successes, but it quickly realized that in order to reach its full potential, it would have to develop a much more organized and holistic SEO approach.

On Tuesday, Missouri citizens will vote on Amendment 2, the so-called "right to pray" ballot measure.

Nearly every major poll indicates that the top issues for voters are jobs and the economy. Making the wealthy pay more in income taxes? Not so much, at least according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.
An excerpt from Gallup:

Speaking from Israel on Sunday, presumptive GOP nominee for president Mitt Romney said that he would respect the nation's "right to defend itself" against Iran. He said the United States also has "a solemn duty and a moral imperative" to prevent Iran from creating nuclear weapons.
Romney's trip and his speech are typical of presidential candidates, who every four years work to outdo one another when it comes to credentials on Israel and U.S. relations with the Jewish state.

The first stop — Britain — in Mitt Romney's foreign tour certainly is starting out rockier than nearly anyone expected.
First there was the kerfuffle over remarks, attributed by a British newspaper to an anonymous campaign adviser, that Romney understood the shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage" between the U.S. and Britain in a way President Obama didn't. Those comments were viewed as racist by some and were disowned by the Romney campaign.
Originally published on Wed July 18, 2012 1:25 pm
Crony capitalism is a term very much in vogue because of Mitt Romney's accusations that President Obama has engaged in the practice, allegedly rewarding the business interests of political supporters with federal taxpayer dollars.
Are there legal repercussions for political expression in the workplace? Find out, as we talk with lawyer Brian Finucane, who specializes in labor and employment law.
The thermometer keeps inching upwards, though its hard to tell if its measuring heat or the rhetoric coming out of Washington. The recent Supreme Court decisions have done little to quell the debates on either side, and with a looming election in five months, no one seems interested in backing down.

The latest variant of the presidential election parlor game we call "What Were They Thinking?" asks why Mitt Romney chose this moment in his quest for the White House to become involved with Donald Trump.

As sort-of-still-a-presidential-candidate Ron Paul continues to collect delegates at state Republican Party conventions, the question of what the libertarian Texas congressman wants has become more urgent in GOP circles.
A speaking role at the Republican convention, where Mitt Romney is expected to accept the nomination?
A seat at the party's rule-making table to advocate making it easier for non-mainstream candidates to compete in future GOP nominating contests?
Well, yes, as a start.
This is a classic chain of events that never seems to go out of style in an election year.
First one of the presidential campaigns put out videos that it says are informational but critics say are attack ads. This time, it's President Obama's team and the target is Republican rival Mitt Romney. The point of the spots, such as this one, is to make the case that when Romney ran Bain Capital, some of the companies the investment firm took over ended up shedding jobs rather than creating them.

Ron Paul is not going to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Even Ron Paul knows it. His acknowledgement that Mitt Romney will be the nominee is just stating the obvious.
But what exactly did he mean when he said last week that he will "no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not voted"? Was he telling us that he was dropping out of the race?
Not quite.

About two dozen union men and women, supporters of President Obama's reelection, went to the gates of a closed Kansas City steel plant to attack economic policies of Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney.
Originally published on Thu May 17, 2012 9:24 am
The campaign for GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney and the Republican Party together raised $40.1 million in April, just shy of the $43.6 million that President Obama and the Democratic Party took in.
This is the first monthly report since Romney effectively wrapped up the Republican presidential nomination. And because money is one way to keep score during a presidential campaign, the news is getting a great deal of attention from the political media this morning.
TV viewers in five swing states will see an Obama ad tomorrow that highlights a bankrupt Kansas City manufacturing firm and hundreds of lost jobs at the hands of Mitt Romney's Boston-based investment firm.
Republican Ron Paul is not shuttering his presidential campaign, his chief strategist says in a memo sent this morning to supporters and the news media.
"Let me be very clear," said Jesse Benton, "Dr. Paul is NOT dropping out or suspending his campaign."
"As Dr. Paul has previously stated, he is in this race all the way to the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August," Benton said. The campaign will, though, be "maximizing our resources" by not investing in remaining primary states, he said.

As close as the general election is expected to be, virtually everything the presidential candidates do from here until November is about maximizing the turnout of voters in their respective bases without repelling independents or moderates.

As the election year began, conventional wisdom was pretty well set about the outcome of the presidential race. If the economy improved, President Obama would win. If not, he'd be a one-termer.
So what does it mean that many big economic indicators are moving sideways?
"Obama seems to be in that gray area," says Paul Pierson, a political scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. "The numbers are neither so good nor so bad that they give you a definitive answer."

Republicans rule rural areas, while any Democrat can count on running up big margins in most of the large cities in the country. That has left the suburbs as the main partisan battleground.
For several election cycles now, the presidency has been won or lost based on the vote among suburbanites in a few key states. That's likely to be true again this November.
And some political observers believe that President Obama took the calculated risk that his newfound support for gay marriage rights will boost his campaign in these all-important counties.
$15 million.
That's how much President Obama campaign will receive from a fund-raising event last night at George Clooney's home. The New York Times reports the A-list, Hollywood crowd paid $40,000 a person, helping to set "a record for a presidential election fund-raiser."
The Times adds:

If anything could predictably induce torrents of Internet reaction, it would be a U.S. president making the surprise disclosure that he supports same-sex marriage. And so it has been following President Obama's Wednesday ABC News interview in which he said he personally backs gay marriage.

The 2012 presidential election was supposed to be about the economy, and even with President Obama's historic decision to make it known Wednesday that he supports same-sex marriage, that is still likely to be true.
But the president's decision to announce in an ABC News interview that he personally backs gay marriage could mean that at least one social issue may take a more prominent role in the election-year spotlight.
If there was any doubt about the hold of the political right in the Heartland then wonder no more. A recent survey shows Kansas has the most conservative congressional delegation in the nation.
The Federal Communications Commission on Friday approved a rule requiring TV stations to post details online about the amount of advertising time political candidates and campaigns buy, as well as how much the stations charge for those ads.
TV stations already are required to keep such public records. But in most cases, the information has been accessible only to those who visit a TV station and physically look through paper files, NPR's Brian Naylor reported.

Apply as early as possible, most of the financial aid is awarded first come first served! Valpo is expensive, but most people I know are here on pretty hefty scholarships. If you're unsure whether you like a school, come visit the campus for yourself! Then you'll truly know if a school is right for you. I recommend scheduling a Valpo Overnight Visit, where you'll stay with a current student (usually a freshman) for a night. I did that and it solidified by decision to come here. :)
Read MoreValparaiso University is a home away from home. It is a small school, both in numbers and in physical size, so one learns the in's and out's of the school and gets close to its students and faculty very quickly. This intimate understanding of the university really makes it feel like home. Because of its smaller size, the class sizes are smaller so that the professors (many of them being being some of the top experts in their fields) can provide more individualized learning and care for their students.
Read MoreIf you are looking for a smaller campus with tons of student involvement, Valparaiso University is the place for your face! I suggest going onto the school website to find out more! Plus, there are tons of college visit days you can schedule. The school really tries to make a plan that works for you. www.valpo.edu
Read MoreIf you like to drink/smoke, don't come here unless you want to compromise you education at this institution. Valpo is a dry campus, and drinking of alcohol is not only prohibited, but severely punished, even if you're at the legal drinking age....unless you're at a frat house that knows how to keep the cops off.

Bought a really nice Kingsize metal bed. Very reasonable price and I wouldwas a bit worried about the quality. However, I am very pleased. Really good quality. Easy to put together. Doesn't make a squeak! Part of the bed was damaged on delivery and it was replaced immediately with no question by the very nice customer service lady. Cannot fault anything and I would highly recommend.

Rock the Mondays away tonight with The Sidekicks. Tonight's show at Mohawk Place is the latest stop on the bands' first large-scale tour in support of their latest release Awkward Breeds.
The Sidekicks' last full-length album, Weight of Air was named album of the year by Punknews.org in 2009 and, from all accounts I have read, Awkward Breeds not only continues the energy of Weight of Air but expands upon it with a more polished sound.
Their tour is making many stops in varied locales this side of the Rocky Mountains before it ends in November in their home state of Ohio.
Playing in support tonight are a bevy of like-minded rockers in Unwelcome Guests, Mapmaker, and Geronimo!
Doors are at 7PM and admission is only $6

Kelly, MJ Energy efficiency, resilience to future climates and long-term sustainability: the role of the built environment. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A. Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 368. pp. 1083-1089. (Unpublished)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Just under half of all energy consumption in the UK today takes place indoors, and over a quarter within our homes. The challenges associated with energy security, climate change and sustainable consumption will be overcome or lost in existing buildings. A background analysis, and the scale of the engineering challenge for the next three to four decades, is described in this paper.
Item Type: | Article |
Additional Information: | This paper summarises the scale of the challenge of meeting carbon emission reduction targets from energy consumption in the built environment, in a form that has attracted the attention of Government Ministers. Indeed a pilot programme to retrofit several Government owned buildings in Central London followed directly from this work, to serve as exemplars to the wider public. The paper also led to a £10M TSB project to retrofit 100 domestic dwellings, the part of the built environment identified as the biggest challenge, and was used in arguments to push for the Green Deal. |

Washington – An amendment authored by U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) would deny children who lack a Social Security number access to the refundable Child Tax Credit (CTC). The amendment targets children known as "DREAMers," who could one day be eligible for the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. The Ayotte amendment is expected to come to a vote during Senate floor consideration of legislation to restore military pension benefits.

Los Angeles-based Mariachi El Bronx started out as a punk band called The Bronx, but that was before its members discovered a collective love for Mexican folk music. The group fell hard for mariachi, and when faced with playing an acoustic punk rock set for a TV show, they decided to fully embrace that new direction and start a Mexican-flavored side project.

Yesterday, ABC News made a curious discovery about the U.S. Olympic uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren: The pride of America, as they put it, will be wearing red, white and blue attire made in China.
"Every item in the uniforms that the U.S. athletes will be wearing at the opening ceremony in London will carry an overseas label," ABC reported.
Dashboard statues of glow-in-the-dark Hindu gods, hubcaps painted like soccer balls and seat covers adorned with Bollywood stars — all this and more rickshaw bling is all the rage in India.
The motorized three-wheeled buggies are a fixture on India's crowded city streets, scooting in and out of traffic, picking up and dropping off passengers.
In New Delhi alone, there are some 50,000 of these vehicles. And that number is set to double as the city recently lifted a decades-long cap on the number of rickshaws allowed on the road.
This summer is shaping up to be a record season for lobster landings in Maine. That sounds like good news for a state where lobstering makes up a large part of the economy.
It may be welcome news for consumers and food retailers, but for the state's 5,000 lobstermen, it's a different story.
Hard To Make A Living
On Portland's waterfront, about five lobster boats are tied up at one of the piers. Half a dozen lobstermen stand around discussing the current problem of oversupply.
The bad economy has hurt many nonprofits around the country, even as demands for their services have grown. That's certainly the case in Reading, Pa., which has been labeled the poorest city in America, with a poverty rate of more than 41 percent.
Now, one local nonprofit, Opportunity House, hopes to salvage some of its services by salvaging junk.

Accepted Offer
Negative Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Sephora.
Interview Details – The interview process was average. I was not asked any questions that I can even remember as standing out.
Interview Question – I can't remember, but the Store Director interviewed me. Very average questions. Sephora's policy is that you are flawed anyway and that they need to fix you so that you can do your job better-so unless you bomb, they will accept a few less than perfect responses just as a personal weakness. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not really too much negotiation, but your bonus potential should not be a factor in determining how much money you will make-the bonuses are not guaranteed.
Accepted Offer
Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Sephora.
Interview Details – I was hired as a seasonal employee and went through about 3 or 4 interviews. One was very informal at a coffee shop. The next was a group interview. Then with the store manager. And again with the store's assistant manager.
Negotiation Details – I was given slightly more than minimum wage.

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Sephora in May 2010.
Interview Details – This was an internal promotion interview. The position was available for a lead role. I was made aware by my store director. Internally there was some prepping that was done. My store director wanted to make sure I was set up for success. She told me specifics on what types of things that may be asked in my interview and even walked through some questions with me. Had to phone interview with DM and SD from the location. Very business driven questions on how to grow, specific challenges I would encounter, etc.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate for what I needed. It was challenging but as a leader I feel that you have more ground to stand on with factual PROOF that you are worth it( past achievements, sales) For advice on someone that is considering an offer? You are already one step ahead if you have discovered this site. Do your research and find out what the industry pays.

Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Sephora in September 2011.
Interview Details – Applied online for a new store opening. Met at Starbucks for the initial, and second interview - both with Store Directors. Both interviews were very general - no "form" questions and thankfully, no "tell me about a time..." questions. I felt good after both interviews, but unfortunately no offer.

Hot answers tagged reusing-yeast
How to Rinse Yeast for Reuse
Collect yeast solids from fermentation.
Place yeast in sanitized (or better yet, sterile) container with water. The water volume should be around 4-5X that of the yeast. A cylindrical, tall container with a screw-on cap works well.
Leave some headspace for air for shaking. Seal the container.
Shake vigorously. Really ...
I started cropping and repitching from my third batch ever. It is not hard at all, actually results in better beer, saves money, and is kinda fun. You get to use flasks and pour stuff back and forth and rub your chin and look wise.
This article from the Wyeast people is geared toward commercial breweries, but I learned a lot about cropping from it.
I have tried both methods repeatedly and don't really see any difference. I have stored yeast with trub up to 5 months and have gotten great results reusing it once I made a starter. I recently made back to back batches of rye IPA, one with yeast mixed with trub, the other from the same yeast slurry that had been rinsed. There was no difference in either ...
Saving yeast is easier than some make it out to be. When you xfer the beer to package it (or to a secondary) simply leave a little beer behind in the fermenter. Use that beer to swirl up the slurry in the fermenter and pour it into 2 sanitized containers. Store those in the fridge. Each container should enough yeast to ferment an average batch of beer. ...
I used to pitch on cake but then started repitching less of the yeast. I'd say its better to grab a sanitize quart jar and pitch a small slug of the cake.
Aerate your wort as usual and pitch the slug of yeast.
This is the easiest way to reuse if you brew at the same time as racking something else over.
You'll get some cell growth which is important for ...
In short, depending on the age of the cake there should be no need to re-aerate the wort for growth purposes. Using the full on yeast cake will make fine beer without the need of extra O2 for yeast growth.
The downside to this practice is that without some active reproduction going on you don't always get the true flavor profile of the yeast in the beer. ...
The bottom layer contains more trub, but does also contain yeast. The top layer is formed after the majority of the trub has already settled, so it's more or less pure yeast on top.
You don't have too much - actually the opposite. It's best to make a starter - even though it looks like a lot of yeast, it will be vastly underpitched in a 5 gallon brew.
I'd ...
Yes, I have saved tons of money by growing my own yeast. It just takes a little planning and time. Slants or glycol storage are going to be your best bet. Get a pressure cooker to acts as a makeshift auto-clave for sterilization. With some yeasts coming in at $6-$9 a vial, this will help you get the most out of that money. In fact I have pulled proprietary ...
I'd not heard of yeast scarring before, so I researched a bit.
From Replicative ageing and senescence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the impact on brewing fermentations
Ageing is the predetermined progressive transition of an individual
cell from youth to old age that finally culminates in death. Yeast
replicative ageing is a function of the ...
Keep in mind that what applies to a commercial operation often has no applicability to homebrewing. Most homebrewers I know who have tried acid washing their yeast end up deciding that it's a PITA for little to no payback. In addition, unless you have a lab, the more you mess with your yeast the greater the chance of contamination. While the theory you ...
The pitch rate for lagers is generally twice that of an ale. However, pitching onto a used yeast cake generally results in overpitching by a factor of around 100. Overpitching by this amount is never recommended.
In any case, it does make beer, and works for both ales and lagers with the same effects.
Storing yeast in the fridge (i.e. above 0C/32F) is great if you can use the yeast within a few weeks, or a couple of months at the most. Any longer than that, and cells will die and the yeast becomes less viable, Then, a starter is required to step up the cell count to ensure you pitch enough viable cells.
An alternative is storing the yeast in a 25-30% ...
If you're concerned about using good practice, you really shouldn't rack fresh wort onto a used yeast cake. The trub contains a lot more than just healthy yeast, and doing this doesn't allow you to control your pitch rate. I know that doesn't really answer the question, but it seems that your general procedure leaves more room for error than the oxygen ...
Mostly economical, yes.
Another reason is potentially limited (or non-existent) commercial availability of specific strains. Either the yeast company's seasonal strain releases or something cultivated from yeast remaining in the bottle.
Another reason is to develop a "house" strain, or to modify the behavior of an existing strain. For instance, the ...
From White Labs Yeast Storage and Maintenance:
As yeast sit in storage, they consume
their glycogen reserves. Glycogen
deprivation weakens their cell walls,
and makes them more susceptible to
rupture. Cold temperatures retard this
process, but you want to avoid
freezing yeast, as ice crystals will
also rupture cells. The ideal storage
I've been listening to Basic Brewing Radio. Here are some episodes about reusing yeast.
November 1st, 2007 Reusing yeast
February 7th, 2008 Advanced yeast handling
February 26th, 2009 Carboy top-cropping
September 3rd, 2009 Yeast Ranching
October 27th, November 3rd, November 10th, 2005 Interviews with Dave Logsdon of WYeast
Dry yeast will be fine at room temperature for a short period. However, I'd be concerned about pitching rates and contamination.
Did you weigh out the yeast before, so that you pitched 5-6g? If you only eyeballed it, then it might we way off, since pouring a quantity from the sachet is difficult - the sachet isn't full to begin with. If you weighed it, or ...
These gravities are pretty close together so it doesn't really matter much which you brew first. As long as the yeast is sitting in the base of the fermentor as a tight cake you can pull more than enough beer out without it effecting the next one too much. And you don't need to pitch the whole cake, just half a pint or so. I have done this with good ...
A krausen is created mostly from coagulating proteins and high yeast activity. You may still get a krausen at ale temps with the lager yeast due to the level of activity, but in general it's hit and miss how much yeast you get from top cropping, even more so with a bottom fermenting strain.
In your shoes, I would divide the smack pack yeast between two ...
You don't necessarily need to make a starter if you are re-pitching within a few weeks because the viability of the yeast will still be pretty high. But, if you store the yeast for much time you should always make a starter. This ensures that the yeast is still viable and it will help ensure the yeast are active so you don't have a long lag time during ...
The short answer is yes, it's the same species of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, so you can do it.
The long answer is, you will have a hard time getting it to taste the same as commercially produced nutritional yeast (a.k.a. nooch). Just as there are dozens of different strains of homebrew yeast, selectively bred for different characteristics, there are ...
I don't think the process of commercially drying yeast is straightforward - it involves a partial vacuum or a stream of filtered air to make the liquid suspending the yeast evaporate faster - and it's probably difficult to reach the levels of hygiene required in a homebrew setting.
If you want to preserve yeast for a long period, 1 year or more, you can ...
I have been reusing my yeast for several years now. I don't do it correctly, but it has worked out for me. I would like to share what I actually do, and you can balance that against all the really great information regarding the proper care and feeding of yeast.
The only limiting factor that I really care about is autolysis, as this will create formaldehyde ...
Store the yeast at normal fridge temps, but keep it away from the top shelf where the coldest air comes out of the vents (although its not the coldest part of the fridge). The bottom of the fridge is the coldest spot and stuff is less likely to freezer there.
Secondly, the optimum storage medium in the fridge is water. After you take a sample of yeast ...
Well, the easiest way to re-use yeast is to brew a new batch on the same day that you're transferring another batch into kegs/bottles and then rack the new wort onto the leftover yeast cake. Bam. You've re-used yeast.
At home, I have a handful of Erlenmeyer flasks and extra stoppers. Basically what I do is make a mini-starter with the yeast that's ...
No, there is no danger in leaving it longer and getting more separation. If anything, it means you get even more yeast, although the amount is only a few percent.
If there is a lot of trub, then you may want to pour off the yeast into a different vessel to separate it from the trub. The trub falls quickest, so this will be at the bottom of your jar.

What is a "good" amount of yeast? Did you use a starter/re-pitch? Regardless I've scores of batches with White Labs WLP810 (which should be pretty much the same strain) and conclude it may take patience...

I've also taken a bit of slurry from a higher OG and used it o make a new starter. At the OG of your beer, I'd be leery. You should use some to make a starter and carefully assess its health before using it.
I assume they're all different re-pitches of the same original strain? Certainly you would want to keep different strains apart so you can pitch based on their desired properties.
But even still, I would keep the harvested yeast separate, if only so you can use them in a FIFO order of collection.
The method you're using the harvest yeast has a reliable ...
