Asheville Tourists at McCormick Field. Since 1924, there's been baseball at McCormick, and everyone from Lou Gehrig to Jackie Robinson, and from Willie Stargell to Cal Ripkin Jr. has played in this historic park. Set into the side of a hill just off South Charlotte Street, McCormick Field has been home to minor league teams since 1924, many of them known as the Tourists. During most of that time, there's been a team called the Tourists calling the field home. The current team has been around since 1976, and has been a Class A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies since 1994.

Perisinusoidal space
Perisinusoidal space | |
Sinusoid of a rat liver with fenestrated endothelial cells. Fenestrae are approx 100 nm diameter, and the sinusoidal width 5 µm. Scanning electron micrograph by Robin Fraser, University of Otago. | |
Basic liver structure | |
Latin | spatium perisinusoideum |
Code | TH H3.04.05.0.00012 |
The perisinusoidal space (or space of Disse) is a location in the liver between a hepatocyte and a sinusoid. It contains the blood plasma. Microvilli of hepatocytes extend into this space, allowing proteins and other plasma components from the sinusoids to be absorbed by the hepatocytes. Fenestration and discontinuity of the endothelium facilitates this transport.[1] This space may be obliterated in liver disease, leading to decreased uptake by hepatocytes of nutrients and wastes (like bilirubin, for example).
The Space of Disse also contains Ito cells, also called hepatic stellate cells, which store fat or fat soluble vitamins (like vitamin A). A variety of insults that cause inflammation can result in Ito cells transforming to myofibroblasts, resulting in collagen production, fibrosis, and cirrhosis.
The Space of Disse was named after German anatomist Joseph Disse (1852–1912).[2]

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU Volume 5 - Number 19 Weekly News Letter From Office of Karl Mundt For release May 20 or after. WHAT FOLLOWS THIS WAR? During the past few months an organization called "The United Nations - Today and Tomorrow" has been holding a series of programs in Constitution Hall devoted to discussions of the post war world. The sponsors of this organization are headed by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and include Mrs. Henry A. Wallace, Mrs. Cordell Hull, Secretary and Mrs. Claude Wickard, Secretary and Mrs. Jesse Jones, Mrs. Charles L. McNary, Mrs. Arthur Vandenburg, Justice and Mrs. Owen Roberts, Justice and Mrs. Robert H. Jackson and a number of others. Mrs. Raymond Clapper, wife of the columnist, is chairman of the organization. On May 10, Congressman Mundt was one of the speakers invited by this group to speak on the topic, "How Can Congress Act Now to Help Win The Peace". Other speakers were Senator Ball of Minnesota, Senator Thomas of Utah, and Congressman Fulbright of Arkansas. Mr. Mundt devoted his fifteen minutes on the program to elaborating upon his reasons for believing his proposed legislation, H. J. Res. 28, provides a workable answer to the question of how Congress can act at this time to help win the peace. He said in part, "When the last shot has been fired in this war and the Statesmen of the World sit down to consider the Herculean task of rebuilding a better world from the chaos which confronts them they - to use the words of Grover Cleveland, 'will be confronted by a condition - not a theory'. These men of International Good Will can not then content themselves with the dainty past-time of discussing gilded general principles; they will have to get down to the bone and sinew of their problems and to the acceptance or rejection of specific blueprints of action to assure international good behavior and cooperation. The only way our representatives at that post war conference can know the American attitude is for us to develop as wide as possible and area of agreement, now, about the type of arrangements we wish to see follow this war and the program which we propose to support in securing the permanent peace and happier world which we all devoutly pray will come in the wake of this cruel conflict." -o- BIG RED HOUSE ON R STREET! Washington is all agog these days about the startling revelations of "goings-on" in what has become known as "The Big Red House On R Street". Remeniscent of the "little Green House on K Street" which won unsavory fame during the Harding Administration, this "Big Red House" seems destined to outdistance in unsavoriness its predecessor just as it has overshadowed it in size. Occupied by one John P. Monroe (whose name was Kaplan until he had it changed two years ago) this self admitted "war contract broker" has already revealed a long list of official guests whose position little entitles them to accept the fulsome hospitality of a man making rich, albeit tarnished, profits from peddling war contracts to wealthy clients seeking big profits. It is against precisely such war profiteers as Monroe (nee Kaplan) that Mr. Mundt's proposal for a personal excess war profits tax, described in this column last week, was aimed. -o- IS THERE WATER IN YOUR WELL? To the old axiom, "you never miss the water 'til the well goes dry" is being added these days the appendage "or until your pump breaks down"! War time shortages are making it increasingly difficult to get pump repair parts for pumps as well as for electric motors of all kinds. To help meet this problem, the Electric Water Systems Council has issued a booklet on "Timely Tips on Wartime care of Farm Pumps and Water Systems". This office has secured a supply of these booklets and free copies will be sent to all who request them. -o- THE RIVERS OF SOUTH DAKOTA. Following unusually high spring floods, May has seen a big pick-up of activity looking to the development of the Missouri River and its tributaries both above, below and within South Dakota. A river conference is being held in Omaha on May 21; on May 13, the Flood Control Committee of the House heard testimony of Chief of Engineers, Reibold, Col. Pick of the Omaha Office, Congressman Case, Mundt and others on May 10 Mr. Mundt introduced a resolution now before the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House requesting that a forthcoming engineers' report include data on the practicability and possibility of action on the Missouri and its major tributaries (including the James, Sioux, Moreau, Grand and other S. D. Rivers). This resolution recommends the report cover all four river potentialities: Flood Control, Navigation, Irrigation and Hydroelectric power. Night before this news letter was issued Congressmen Case and Mundt had dinner with Col. Pick and discussed Missouri River valley problems. Col. Pick has the whole valley in mind and recognizes the relationship of all development factors and all tributaries as part of the over-all picture. On March 7, 1939 a resolution introduced by Mr. Mundt was approved as a basis for much engineering data already available. All members of the S. D. Delegation and Congressmen from adjoining States are cooperating in urging Missouri river development. Three new factors have entered the considerations since Mundt's first resolution was adopted March 7, 1939. They are: (1) Development of the manganese mines at Chamberlain stimulating new interest in navigation and power (2) the Spring floods giving new concern to flood control (3) the advent of war which re-evaluates all river development in terms of its contribution to the war program. If it can be demonstrated that work on the Missouri, now, will aid the war, early action will be materially enhanced.

IVOMEC EPRINEX Pour-On delivers highly effective internal and external parasite control in one application.

IVOMEC EPRINEX Pour-On delivers highly effective internal and external parasite control in one application. Discovered and developed by scientists from Merck Research Laboratories, IVOMEC EPRINEX Pour-On contains eprinomectin, a unique avermectin. Its broad-spectrum efficacy in a weatherproof formulation, margin of safety, zero slaughter withdrawal and zero milk discard, make it a convenient product for parasite control in beef and dairy cattle, including lactating dairy cattle.
Eprinomectin is a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides which have a unique mode of action. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.
This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Compounds of this class may also interact with other ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to the fact that mammals do not have glutamate-gated chloride channels, the macrocyclic lactones have a low affinity for other mammalian ligand-gated chloride channels and they do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
IVOMEC EPRINEX (eprinomectin) Pour-On is indicated for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi), lungworms, grubs, sucking and biting lice, chorioptic and sarcoptic mange mites, and horn flies in beef and dairy cattle of all ages, including lactating dairy cattle.
Applied at the recommended dose volume of 1 mL/10 kg (22 lb) body weight, to achieve a dose level of 500 mcg eprinomectin/kg body weight, IVOMEC EPRINEX Pour-On is indicated for the effective treatment and control of the following parasites.
Gastrointestinal Roundworms
Haemonchus placei (adults and L4)
Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited L4) (adults and L4)
Trichostrongylus axei (adults and L4)
Trichostrongylus colubriformis (adults and L4)
Trichostrongylus longispicularis (adults only)
Cooperia oncophora (adults and L4)
Cooperia punctata (adults and L4)
Cooperia surnabada (adults and L4)
Nematodirus helvetianus (adults and L4)
Oesophagostomum radiatum (adults and L4)
Bunostomum phlebotomum (adults and L4)
Strongyloides papillosus (adults only)
Trichuris spp. (adults only)
Dictyocaulus viviparus (adults and L4)
Cattle Grubs (all parasitic stages)
Hypoderma lineatum
Hypoderma bovis
Damalinia bovis
Linognathus vituli
Haematopinus eurysternus
Solenopotes capillatus
Mange Mites
Chorioptes bovis
Sarcoptes scabiei
Horn Flies
Haematobia irritans
Persistent Activity
IVOMEC EPRINEX (eprinomectin) Pour-On for Beef and Dairy Cattle has been proved to effectively control infections and to protect cattle from re-infection with Dictyocaulus viviparus for 21 days after treatment and Haematobia irritans for 7 days after treatment.

In patients who undergo cardiac surgery, severe perioperative bleeding and its treatment are often associated with increases in major cardiac and non-cardiac adverse events and greater mortality. A study from the September issue of Anesthesiology determined that certain blood clotting treatment algorithms helped decrease blood transfusion requirements in cardiac surgery patients and were associated with improved outcomes and hospital cost-savings.
The study used specific bedside testing -- so called "point-of-care testing," -- to examine the function of components of the blood clotting cascade, as well as platelet function to supplement clinical judgment in deciding on the best treatment. If abnormalities were detected, blood clotting components that were deficient were corrected based on treatment algorithms.
"We wanted to find the safest and most efficient way to provide hemostasic, or blood clotting, interventions in cardiac patients," said corresponding study author Klaus Görlinger, M.D. "Our clinical trial of 100 patients analyzed the effectiveness of blood clotting treatment algorithms based on point-of-care testing combined with administration of specific coagulation factor concentrates such as fibrinogen and prothrombin complex concentrate."
The study from the Goethe-University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany found that blood clotting treatment algorithms for point-of-care testing compared to conventional laboratory analyses not only decreased blood transfusion requirements in cardiac surgery patients, but also were associated with improved outcomes, including decreased incidences of adverse events such as acute lung injury, renal failure, sepsis and thromboembolic complications. Participants also had decreased six-month mortality and reduced hospital costs.
The results of the randomized clinical trial confirmed the results of an earlier study in 3,865 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery at University Hospital Essen, Germany before and after implementation of coagulation management algorithms based on point-of-care testing.
"Since the study was conducted in Europe, it cannot necessarily be applied to the U.S. without restrictions," said Dr. Görlinger. "However, our research demonstrating the medical and economic benefits is worth replicating in the U.S. in an attempt to help Americans receive more effective, safe and cost-saving management of severe perioperative bleeding."

Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 50,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring that physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during, and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care that every patient deserves.

From its baseline year of 2003, Albert Lea Schools has realized nearly $1 million in energy savings, and the district's annual reduction in CO2 emissions is equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 350 vehicles. Led by the schools energy educator/manager with support from Energy Education's engineers and specialists, the district has implemented hundreds of improvements leading to better energy use habits. With the goal of reducing energy use during unoccupied hours, the energy management team encouraged staff to adjust thermostats to use less energy and to turn lights and computers off when not in use. A cover for the heated indoor pool also helped improve energy performance.

State Legislature
1:44 pm
Tue March 8, 2011
Protesters begin to rally in Lansing
Update 1:44 p.m.
The Detroit News reports the Michigan Senate is expected to pass the Emergency Financial Manager bill despite the protests taking place in the capitol. From the Detroit News:
A bill to give broad authority to emergency financial managers to fix a governing body's finances is expected to pass in the Senate on Wednesday despite boisterous union protests that punctuated today's session.
Senate Republicans voted down more than 20 Democratic amendments as more than 1,000 union members chanted "Kill the Bill" outside the Senate chamber. Their chants were audible as the chamber debated the bill, as were the catcalls of protesters crammed into the gallery above the Senate floor.
The union members protesting the bill say it would make emergency financial managers too powerful, "allowing them to toss out union contracts, overrule elected officials and dissolve city councils and school boards."
10:59 a.m.
Protesters have arrived at the state Capitol to show their opposition to a measure that would give more power to Emergency Financial Managers. Laura Weber sent this report from Lansing:
The state Capitol is jammed this morning with a raucous group of union members and supporters who are opposed to a proposal to grant more power to Emergency Financial Managers. Hundreds of protesters are chanting "kill the bill" loudly outside of the Michigan Senate chamber as lawmakers prepare to vote on the controversial measure.
Still hundreds more are on the Capitol lawn rallying against the emergency manager bills. The package of bills would strip unions of collective bargaining rights, and dissolve union contracts, if an emergency manager was put in place to take over the finances of a struggling city, township, or school district.
The Associated Press reports there are around 1,000 people demonstrating:
...protesters are at the Capitol objecting to bills that would give broad new powers to emergency financial managers appointed by the state to run struggling cities and schools.
The Senate plans to vote on the measures Tuesday. The House passed the bills two weeks ago.
Groups opposed to legislation they consider anti-union are holding the morning rally and also are chanting inside the Capitol.
Local officials warned during a Monday news conference that the financial manager measures would take away voters' rights by removing the authority of elected school board members, mayors and council members.
Workers warn that the bills could allow financial managers to terminate union contracts.
Supporters of the legislation say it would lead to earlier intervention in financially troubled communities and schools, avoiding bigger crises.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Appearance- Pours up a fair amount of head which recedes rapidly. The color is pure cotton white. There are only specks of lacing left behind. The body is a hazy and light golden straw color with a few tiny bubbles in it. It glows a very hazy straw yellow when held up to the light.
Nose- Lots of lactobacillus- this is very tart and very enjoyable. Green apples, strawberry, cherry, and Sweet Tarts. This is combined with spicy yeast. There is somewhat of a vinous character to it. All of this is good. All of this is very promising. I just hope that it isn't too tart on the palate. It will kill me! Lemons and oranges as well. The aroma is very citric. Lots of esters.
Taste- The sourness is very dominant to begin with and is followed by a dry characteristic. The sourness continues rise (but doesn't become unbearable) and meets a slight yeastiness. This is very different from any beer I've had before- in a good way. There is so much going on that it is hard for me to describe all the tastes. There's a slight funkiness (not as strong as Brett) from the yeast and considerable grain notes in the flavor profile. I detect a little bit of saltiness as well. Of course, there are all the fruits of the aroma which is complimented by the subtle but very nice tasting yeast and the grain flavors. This is not a beer I would drink everyday but I understand why this is so highly regarded. As I start to drink this more, there is definite hay. This is very representative of barnyard and horse blanket. The sourness stays at an acceptable level and each new drink shows something different. I really like this beer. The sourness starts to turn more lemon as it opens up. Bitter fruits start to come out as well- I really understand the mention of stone fruits. Peach, apricot, prune, and plum. Grapefruit is in there as well.
Mouthfeel- A little less than medium bodied with a vinous quality to it. The carbonation might tingle if this weren't so dry.
Drinkability- This is definitely a sipping beer but that is in no way a negative. This is a beer to be enjoyed for its nuances. And at 11 bucks a pop, not be taken lightly.
Overall- This is a solid A. Not a style I would drink every day but I enjoy it. I imagine that is representative of the style. I will be seeking out others like it. Perhaps Mariage Parfait?

Poured into a tulip. Bottle dated 05/03/2021.
A:Perfectly clear golden, amber with an orange hue through the middle. A thin, maybe 1/4 inch, bone colored head with some impressive staying power for a Gueuze. Fine textured bubbling can be seen rising up constantly. Really no room for improvement here. 5
S:Earthy but in a fresh way like a walk through a citrus grove during a sunshower(Lol). Salt water taffy comes to mind along with some acidity coming through. 4.75
T&M: The low pH is very noticeable and forces salivation at an incredible pace. Sweaty start with a well balanced effervescense but mellows out into a typical barnyard Gueuze profile. This one finishes out nicely with some clean citrus notes. 4.75-4.75
O: This is definitely a top 10 Gueuze for me. The mouth watering quality is just out of this world, its ridiculously refreshing and the head stuck around for the entire time I enjoyed this brew. I will definitely buy again. 4.75

Pours a lovely mango-yellow with good head/lacing.
Smell is delicious and luscious stonefruits. Almost hoppy in that fruitiness, but I know it's really yeast driven. A lovely blue-cheese funk. There is a bit of rubberiness and almost a macro, ricey quality. Also get spanakopita.
Taste and mouthfeel has that dry and watery fruitiness and stone fruits. Definite apricot.
Think blue cheese and quince paste, but with the extremes of salt and sugar replaced with sourness. A lovely gueuze.

Best Before: 18/01/2022
Mostly clear orange with a low, fluffy head on top that settles to a creamy ring. Tart, lactic aromas of funky lemon, granny smith apples, grass, sour citrus, berries, and a light sweetness. Sour, woody flavors...earthy lemon, leather, damp hay, and mustiness. Crisp, light, and super dry. Excellent! The draught version is a little brighter and more outright refreshing, but this has deeper complexity. Both are noticeably lemony and not over the top with acidity and you really can't go wrong with either.

375mL (best before 2/15/2021) into a tulip. Pours a slightly hazy glowing orange w/ a 1-finger white head, lively carbonation.
Aroma is tart and funky; grassy, earthy, acidic and alive. A deep whiff is so strongly pungent that it almost brings tears to my eyes. But in a good way.
Taste is likewise puckerlingly tart and lemony, a little vinous. Green apples, Smarties. Sweet and sour in almost equal proportions. Biscuity pale malt provides the canvas for the exotic yeast. Of the three gueuzes I've had so far, this is easily the most sour (and my favorite). In some ways it reminds me of RR Temptation.
Mouthfeel is clean and sharp; refreshing w/ a bone-dry finish.
Overall a crisp, bright, drinkable, well-made beer.

This beer has a golden amber glow to it and a white bubbly head on top. Retention is mediocre. Deep and bright aroma. Dark fruity berries, wild flowers, rooty plants, stinky stinky stinky. Flavor is tangy and delightful. Fermented fruit, dark and smokey and very bitter. Mouthfeel is great. Overall an excellent choice.

I've had the bottle version of this a few times. This particular review was from a 2011-2012 750ml that was shared at a saison/sour tasting.
Cork comes out easy, foams a bit out of the bottle. Pour is hazy darkish orange with a big ol white head. It retains well and leaves some decent lace behind.
Awesome smell, potent and deep. Lots of earthy mushroom funk, sour lemon apple goodness.
Taste doesn't quite live up to the scent, but still a very solid gueuze. A good mix of earthy farm and funk, bracing amount of sourness, lemon and citrus, some light notes of white wine.
Good mouthfeel, I felt it could use a bit more carbonation/oomph, but overall fine.
As far as gueuzes you can pretty much find at anytime go, this is the one to get. I don't think it quite matches the intensity/mastery of some other Belgian brewers but certainly close.

This poured out as a bright hazy orange color with a foamy white head on top. Pretty standard for the style. The retention is pretty solid but no noticeable lacing. The smell of the beer is acidic, sour and tart smelling. There is a subtle sweetness as well. The taste of the beer is tart like a lemon or other citrus fruits, with a pretty good pucker to it. The malts come in lightly in the finish. The mouthfeel is lighter bodied with a solid carbonation. Overall it's a good representation of the style, worth checking out for sure!

Bottle shared by pmoney. 2010/2011 bottle. Served in a FFF Teku.
A: Pours slightly hazy orange color with a thin white ring forming on the pour. It recedes slowly leaving behind some splotchy lace.
S: A ton of funk is present with a nice light lactic underbody. Mild acidic with some lemon peel notes. Lemon grass with a light oaky body.
T: Lactic with some tart green apple. Nice bit of funk to this guy with some oaky notes as well as some vanilla. Lemon zing.
M: Light bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Very easy drinking with no realy pucker.
O: Very delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and will definitely be setting some aside for storage.

2011 750mL bottle, big thanks to Korey for hooking me up with this one!
Appearance- Bright golden orange, slightly hazy with lots of carbonation coming off the bottom of the glass and clinging to the sides. Head fizzles away to leave a thin cap of bright white, soapy foam
Smell- Tangy, citric sourness with earthy funk. Smells very bright and effervescent, green apples and maybe a touch of a white wine, vinous aroma
Taste- Green apples and tart white grapes, which moves forward to a deep, earthy funkiness. Nice and sour, with a big lemon character coming in along with the funkiness.
Mouthfeel- I'm impressed with how easy this is to drink, it's light and crisp with lots of carbonation, finishes dry but has enough sweetness to not be overpowering.
Overall- Really impressed with this, and I'll definitely be seeking out some more. Perfect for this beautiful Sunday afternoon

Poured a clearish golden body with giant head thanks to great carbonation on top of an aroma that I can really only describe as both sweet and sour. These tart cherries and splash of funk hit me along with sour apple or grap smells, and then I get this yeasty, woody aroma that has a touch of sugariness in it. Light to medium body and goes down easy, extreme sour and funky notes that are like sour apple/pear and have a veggie-like graininess to them, as well as a good amount of tartness to it as well. Enjoyable sipper, the yeast and oakiness help smooth it out and it has a touch of sweet fruit notes on the backend to make a very good beer.

The beer pours a golden orange with copper highlights. It also pours with a healthy finger's width head of pebble like, creamy white bubbles that are constantly fed by a maelstrom of bubbles racing up throughout the glass. The head leaves a lacing of fat dry bubbles that clump into sheets on the glass. In body, the beer is properly hazy, though the other side of the glass is slightly discernable. On the nose, the beer smells wonderfully funky with big cherry leather scents and pineapple with light spicy notes and distinct lingering horse sweat. There is even some slight cheesy notes tending towards a blue or parmesan cheese. On the tongue, the beer tastes acidic and sweet with just a touch of herbal bitters and some nice rounding salty notes. In flavors, the beer begins with spicy pepper but moves quickly into sweet and funky pineapple and cherry leather flavors with sweaty nuances and a touch of cheese. The pepper returns on the finish with a faint touch of wheat and a lot of sweet funk and acidic pineapple. The aftertaste moves into lingering cherry leather flavors with a funky spice accenting it. This beer tastes very nicely funky. In the mouth, the beer feels medium in body, perhaps a touch below medium, with a thick carbonation that peppers and then caresses the taste-buds, allowing for the sweetness of the funk to do its thing, but also for the beer to note get cloying in nature. The mouth is left gushing with acid neutralizing saliva, and begging for more beer. Overall, this is a tremendous gueuze that I will regularly return to. Of the gueuzes I can regularly find, I believe this has become my new favorite. Rich and complex funk really shows itself in this beer, but the sweet and acidic components are nicely balanced, perhaps with just a touch too much acidity. This is a great beer, and wonderful for summer sipping. If you like funk then you will like this beer.

2011 vintage. this pours a darker than average brassy color, dull and cloudy, with some floating yeast and a huge white head several inches high with good retention. the nose is a little funky, but not nearly as blatantly sour as I am used to in the style. it is evident that there is a lot more malt in here than usual. the flavor confirms that, its got a gentle caramel sweetness to it that really softens the most acidic edges of the gueuze, a characteristic that is not particularly becoming in this context. there is some lemon acidity, but not as fresh or as pungent as it could be, and a lot of the yeast intricacies feel somehow muted to me. I want this style to snap my head back and dry my mouth out, this one doesn't do that at all. it is not unpleasant, and may be a good introductory beer to the style, but its a far cry from some of the best in the business. fuller body, still with excellent carbonation. I really don't dislike this beer at all, I just feel like its not the best example of the genre. still, a good bottle that is fairly widely available.

Thanks to KingKong for the generous extra. 375ml corked and caged bottle served in my Allagash Coolship glass. 2011-2012 indicated on the front label; best before 21/03/2022 indicated on the back label. Pours a hazy, golden-orange with a loose, bright white head the quickly sizzles and pops as it collapses into sudsy slick that eventually disappears completely - no lacing on this one. Copious tiny bubbles are present effervescing in solution. Nose expresses citric acid, rind and is quite sharp. There's also a slight medicinal quality present as well. Taste is quite tart, with the characteristics present in the nose also present in the flavor profile, minus the medicinal character. There's also a suggestion of cork. Mouthfeel is light and bright with quite a bit of acidity and a lively, almost prickly carbonation. Overall, a solid gueuze; however, a bit young. Definitely would like to see how this beer develops with some time.

From: Etre Gourmet
Date: 2010-2011 bottle
Glass: Drie Fonteinen gueuze glass
Tilquin has a very fresh, bright, and easily drinkable gueuze with their dual-year blend (the 2010-2011 version only used one and two year-old lambics if I remember correctly). Quite nice, though perhaps not as complex as 3 Fonteinen, Girardin, and Cantillon, though those blend from a wider array of base lambics, years, and thus have more to work with from the very beginning. Definitely glad that this new gueuzerie is able to survive and hopefully prosper, they certainly produce a beer that I could sip for hours a day.
Pours a 1.5cm head of white foam, made up of small, white bubbles. Retention is average for the style, about one-and-a-half minutes, the foam falling to a thick ring around the perimeter of the glass with some peninsulas of wispy foam reaching into the center. Lacing is moderately present, again typical for the style, a Body is a light caramel brown-orange color, with light bringing out orange-yellow hues. Carbonation is readily visible through the transparent body, and it appears in medium amounts and acts with medium intensity.
Aroma of both clean and soured bread dough, bright lemon zest, fresh cut green apples, and sour apricot (if you can imagine such a thing) with heavier, moderate scents of oak barrel and Brettanomyces characters. Complex, but generally bright; pleasant.
Front of palate balances acidity and sweetness from wort, with unripe apple esters, hints of potent lemon and grapefruit, and sweetness from the pale wheat malt base. Mid-palate finds medium-intensity tartness, as from sour lemon and grapefruit, slightly puckering, light to moderate toasted oak barrel, Brettanomyces influences including difficult-to-describe esters, a bit of farmhouse, and very slight cheese. Back of palate picks up slightly harsher acidity with stronger fruit flavors (lemon, grapefruit, green apple, slight tangerine and mango), slight farmhouse, mustiness, and very faint cheese. Aftertaste of mild tartness from lactic and acetic acid, slight compensating sweetness, lingering oak, and lemon-like residual esters.
Beer is medium to medium-light in body with carbonation of medium-low intensity, resulting in a pleasantly soft, gentle foaming that mixes well with the notable acidity of the beer. Closes quite dry, with minor stickiness lingering across the palate.

Included in the first monthly "Beermageddon Night" with several people. Review is from my notes. I want to give a big thanks to Jon for bringing this to the tasting as well! Bottle says that it will age well until 2022. No time to wait, then! Poured into a teku glass from a 330ml green bottle.
Opens with a modest pop, and pours an orange amber color with some modest head at first - which slowly retracts as all volatile beers within this style do. There's some surprisingly moderate lacing on the glass, but that slowly dries out and vanishes. It's definitely syrupy looking, and quite thickened in feel. Different from the draft version that I had a few months ago, this one is not as lively in terms of carbonation or feel. In fact, the best way I could consider it is to be dead looking and hazy... Almost like an unfiltered white wine of sorts. It even leaves some grime on the glass as the dregs get poured in. However, I really love stuff like that. Again, this isn't winning a beauty contest or anything, but to me it wins me over with the ever timeless "rustic" appearance.
The flavors in the bottled version of Gueuze Tilquin can only be described as "hazy." Not muted or anything, but "hazy" in the sense that everything truly blurs together in a pretty lively and fascinating way. This being a blend of four batches of different gueuze makers, as well as differences in up to three years in the blend, you'd expect this to retain some complexity. Funky flavors are everywhere here (probably due to Cantillon), and yet there's sweet sharpness (Lindemans), and fruity, bittered orange rinds that abound (Boon). It's amazing how much this gueuze reaches for *balance*, however, when so many just allow the yeast to go crazy. There's some tangerine-filled yeastiness here, as well as a sharp soured flavor, but otherwise, it's truly jubilant and way above average for the style.
The flavor is filled with citrus, juicy funkiness, and loads of other flavors I don't think I even got on the draft version. Apricots, oranges, lemon juice, hay straws, cheese rind pungent aromas, and other bold sour yet not too overwhelming flavors. My favorite part of drinking this is the lack of overbearing acidity that always gets to me in a grueling way with gueuzes. The dregs only added more to the beer, in the fact, and reduced the boozy sweet notes and adding more to the syrupy texture. Absolutely all over the place with the blending, but again, it's very pleasant and very drinkable.
In my opinion, this surpasses the draft version for upholding the yeasty texture that makes this beer really one of a kind in the world of oude gueuzes. I could seriously drink this every day if I had the budget and patience to do so, as it's refreshing, complex, yet ridiculously balanced overall given the variety of flavors it provides. Pleasant to drink. World class for sure!

Poured into a Dogfish Spiegelau glass. Back label says best before: 21/03/2022.
A- Pours a semi-hazy medium amber color with a full two fingers worth of head that retains decently before slowly collapsing to a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a fluffy sheet of surface foam. Slippery lacing leaves clots behind on the glass.
S- Extremely bright aroma rushes into the nose and perks me up. Invigorating barnyard funk with lots of hints toward a sour flavor. There's that astringency that I get out of most gueuzes but it actually mingles with some lemon, cherry and white grape notes quite well.
T- Bold, sharp sourness in the flavor but it eases into a fruity complexity I've not witnessed in a lambic before. The astringency shoots up but then backpedals as the citrus notes take hold. Slightly vinegary and plenty of tart to keep the fans of the sour happy.
M- Dry and puckering but with a nice balance between that and some slick, thirst-quenching moisture. Lightish body and medium-high carbonation.
O- Finally! A gueuze I can really get down with! After having the overly intense Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueuze, I was hesitant to drop another $12-$15 on a little 12.7 oz. bottle of something I thought I might dislike. But I'm glad I took the risk as this is a very enjoyable beer. Not too sour, not too harsh. A great example of the style IMO.

Thanks to franklinn for this gem!
Served at cellar temp... lively pear gold body capped off with a eggshell colored head that swells and retains better than any other gueuze in recent memory. Nice.
Tastefully sweet and sour... some grassy funk. So fresh and so clean, clean.
Crisp and tart, with a sourness that doesn't overwhelm the palate. Some semisweet, underlying citrus. Finishes up sweet, sour and surprisingly wet; which makes for an incredibly thirst quenching and drinkable beer.
Yum - thanks Frank!

best before: 31-01-2022
A: Pours a hazy golden yellow with 2 fingers width of slightly off white colored head, which quickly dissipates down to almost nothing. Leaves zero lacing.
S: Wet, musty funk is the first aroma I get. This is followed by oak and tart, lactic citrus. Banana, sour lemon-lime, vinous, sour white grapes.
T: Somewhat puckering, tart sour characters hit the palate immediately. Belgian yeast- banana follows on the finish. I also get white grapes, oak, hay, lemon. Not much funk at all, but Im ok with that, as I prefer the tart/sour notes.
M/D: Medium body, heavy carbonation that gives it a crisp mouthfeel. Drying on the finish. Leaves you eager for the next sip. Very nice.
O: Overall, an excellent gueuze. Really enjoyed this one. Pricy bottle, but thats to be expected for the style. Highly recommend.

1/2 cup chopped onion 1 egg 2 egg whites 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream 6 ounces lean ham, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups) 6 ounces shredded low-fat Swiss cheese 1 ready-made 9-inch pie crust
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Add the onions and cook over medium heat until tender.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites and sour cream. Stir in the sauteed onions, ham and cheese. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
Bake until the eggs are set and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges and serve immediately.

Merlin Entertainment Groups announced plans for an entertainment complex along International Drive to include an observation wheel similar to the London Eye, a Madame Tussauds wax museum and more. An Orlando Sentinel reporter and photographer took a helicopter ride above where the Orlando Eye is slated to be built and looked at the vistas at a height of 425 feet. This magnification of a picture shows downtown Orlando. The complex was originally targeted for late 2012, but has been pushed back to at least 2013.

Turns out you can see almost everything in Central Florida from 425 feet up in the air above I-Drive — from a tiny version of Spaceship Earth in Epcot to the downtown skyline to the OUC power plant partway to the Space Coast.
But you can't see any of it particularly well.
The iconic images that visitors associate with Orlando — Walt Disney World's Cinderella Castle, for example, or Universal's roller coasters — are mere points on a flat horizon when viewed from high above the site chosen for the Orlando Eye, a vacant lot that once held the Mercado shopping-and-dining complex.
An Orlando Sentinel reporter and photographer took a helicopter flight recently to gauge the view from above the Mercado property on a blue-sky day.
The trip revealed pleasant views of nearby lakes and a surprising amount of greenery. From the sky, the highways and main roads clogged with tourists day and night look a bit more picturesque. And there's a postcard-perfect view of the Orange County Convention Center's newer, North-South Building — the more striking north end that most tourists miss from International Drive.
But there are also lots of big, flat, dull rooftops and parking lots, such as the sprawling Lockheed Martin Corp. complex that predates the arrival of Disney and the development of a tourist corridor.
The Orlando Eye is part of a proposed retail-and-entertainment development, to be called "I-Walk Orlando," that is supposed to rise from the Mercado's ashes about a mile north of the convention center.
It's not the first giant wheel proposed for the I-Drive area.
In 2008, a company called Great Wheel Corp. announced plans for a similar attraction just south of the county-run center, near the intersection of Interstate 4 and the BeachLine Expressway. But that project never got off the ground.
This time, the planned wheel has a powerful partner: the world's second-largest attractions operator, Merlin Entertainments Group. Merlin already operates the London Eye, which, perched on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of England's famed capital city, provides those who ride its giant cars a bird's eye view of such landmarks as Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster.
"They're the rising star in our industry right now," said John Gerner, managing director of Leisure Business Advisors, an attractions-consulting company in Richmond, Va. "That's a plus in the situation."
When it comes to observation platforms, location is key, Gerner said. Generally speaking, he said, a successful attraction offers views of a natural wonder such as Niagara Falls, which can be viewed from several different towers, or a human achievement such as New York City, best viewed from the Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan. Some attractions offer visitors both, such Seattle's Space Needle, which has sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Mount Rainier as well as the city's striking downtown and waterfront.
Those climbing aboard an observation wheel in Orlando, Gerner said, are "going to be looking for the manmade attractions that they're familiar with, starting with Disney and Universal."
"In addition to that, you have some nice scenic beauty," he said.
But seeing Orlando's key attractions from 425 feet above the heart of International Drive is a bit deflating, at least without the use of binoculars. The Epcot dome is recognizable but unimpressive at such a distance, and with just a slight haze on the horizon, the Magic Kingdom's castle is all but indistinguishable.
Merlin said it is in the early stages of planning the attraction and still has "a lot of work to do" on the final experience, including mapping the view. But the company said it expects the I-Walk location to be a great one for an Orlando Eye.
"At 425 feet high, it will be almost as high as the London Eye and will give magnificent views of the area surrounding Orlando — we will be detailing this nearer the time of opening," Sally Ann Wilkinson, a Merlin spokeswoman, said via e-mail. "As well as the view itself, the attraction will, for example, almost certainly include interactive capsules that will bring the viewing experience alive through film/facts and images for the millions of guests we expect to welcome each year."
In addition to Disney and Universal, famous landmarks will include Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building, one of the largest buildings in the world, said Chuck Whittall, president of Unicorp National Developments, one of three companies involved in the observation-wheel venture.
Gerner said that judging such views, and balancing them against the price of admission, is a subjective experience.
"It's in the eye of the beholder as far as the 'wow' factor," he said after looking at aerial photographs taken by the Sentinel during its helicopter flight. "At least you can see Disney in some way, and that's a definite plus."

Illustration: Spacher If it feels as if you plan your life around the proximity of the nearest bathroom, you're not alone.
An estimated one in six adults has overactive bladder (OAB). Common symptoms include a sudden, uncontrollable urge to go; needing to go more than eight times a day; waking up twice or more at night to urinate; and leakage (incontinence).
"In the majority of cases, the cause is unknown," says Sandip Vasavada, MD, co-head of the female urology and voiding dysfunction section at the Cleveland Clinic. Incidence increases with age: For many women, OAB symptoms appear in their 40s. If a woman doesn't seek treatment, the condition can impact her quality of life, leading to depression and anxiety, fear of sexual intimacy, decreased work productivity, avoidance of travel, a greater risk of nighttime falls, and urinary tract infections, says Diane Kaschak Newman, codirector of the Penn Center for Continence and Pelvic Health at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. The good news is that OAB can be brought under control with the following techniques Vasavada and Newman suggest. From the August 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

After years of speculation and finger-crossing by millions of teen girls (who are probably in their mid-20's now), the popular boy band *NSync has recently announced that they will embark on a 41-date tour that will take them across North America in 2012. The We're Too Old Tour will be in support of a surprise digital album, "Is This Really Happening?", which will be available later today, April 1.
"This could be the biggest tour ever," concert insider April Sciocchi said of the band's first tour since their PopOdyssey Tour in 2002. "*NSync is still bigger than any other band out there right now and fans have been waiting for them to return!"
The group was formed in 1995 but didn't hit it big until a few years later when they catapulted to the top of the musical charts with hits like "I Want You Back," "Tearin' Up My Heart" and "I Drive Myself Crazy." The group will be releasing its newest single "You Wish" later this month.
It has been announced that they will open the tour at Springfield Stadium, home of baseball's Springfield Isotopes, on June 31.

Halo Headlines: CJ Wilson Coming For A Visit, Hiroki Kuroda is Plan B, Callaspo Cleared in Paternity Lawsuit
The November 18th, 2011 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including C.J. Wilson is coming for a visit to the Angels, Hiroki Kuroda is the fallback option, Callaspo is cleared in a paternity test and much more...
The Story: C.J. Wilson is going to make a visit to the Angels on Monday.
The Monkey Says: OK, I give in, this clearly isn't solely a smokescreen (but if it is, it is a very elaborate one). My guess now is that the Angels do very much want him and will wine and dine him and then try and make him a reasonable offer in hopes that he'll be enamored with the idea of playing so close to home and accept it before getting any offers from anyone else. If it doesn't work, then they can at least show the fan base that they went all out to try and get him. It's a win-win.
The Story: The Angels are interested in free agent pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.
The Monkey Says: Say hello to Plan B! Frankly, this has seemed inevitable for a months now. Kuroda would be a great signing because he has little leverage in that he has made it obvious that he will play in Southern California or head back to Japan and he would only get a one or two year contract anyway, so he is pretty low risk. In fact, you could make an argument that he's a much better move than signing Wilson.

December 19, 2012 - Shorenstein APARC, FSI Stanford, KSP Q&A
South Korea to inaugurate first female president
Park Geun-hye was sworn in as South Korea's president on Feb. 25, becoming the first woman to hold the position and the first top female leader of a Northeast Asian country.
Park narrowly defeated her progressive rival in a Dec. 19 election to succeed Lee Myung-bak, her fellow conservative Saenuri (New Frontier) Party member.
She joins a changing group of leaders in the region, including a new top-tier set of officials in China, recently elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Japan, and young Kim Jong-un in North Korea.
Following the December election, a group of Stanford experts came together to share views on the regional and domestic challenges Park could face in the early days of her administration.
President Lee Myung-bak has been criticized for taking a tough stance in South Korea's relations with Pyongyang. What direction could North Korea policy take under Park Geun-hye's administration?
David Straub: Park Geun-hye has been implicitly critical of President Lee Myung-bak's "hard line" North Korea policy. She has said that she will provide large-scale food aid to North Korea, largely without conditions, and also that she wants to have a process of mutual confidence building, which she calls "trustpolitik." But she has stressed the importance of North Korea's denuclearizing, and made clear she will link progress in North-South relations to this. Her fundamental approach to North Korea is likely to be similar to President Lee's, but she will probably make a strong push to have talks with Pyongyang after she is inaugurated.
Gi-Wook Shin: North-South relations are also dependent on North Korea's actions. Lee Myung-bak had intended to promote engagement with North Korea, but he was led to taking a tough stance due to incidents like the 2008 shooting of a South Korean tourist in a restricted area near the Mount Kumgang resort, and the 2010 sinking of the naval corvette the Cheonan and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.
How do you think Park will balance South Korea's relationship with long-time ally the United States and with "rising" China?
Shin: There is a general perception in South Korea that Lee Myung-bak stressed the U.S.-Korea alliance at the expense of Korea's relations with China. Madame Park may intend to "adjust" the Korea-China relationship, but it is difficult at this point to say how and to what extent she will do so. In theory it is easy to talk about establishing stronger relations, but it is much harder to implement. The bottom line is that she will probably stress the value of the alliance with the United States, and also try to reach out more to China and North Korea.
Michael Armacost: The personal rapport between President Barack Obama and President Lee Myung-bak is quite extraordinary. But beyond this, President Lee has aspired to be a global player and America has helped facilitate that. A partnership that benefits South Korea in such a way may be an enduring feature of its policy. In addition, if China continues to pursue a more assertive foreign policy, then this will highlight the need for Korea to keep the United States in the picture for security reasons, even as Korea expands its economic ties to Beijing. The relationship between the South Korea and the United States is very strong now, and I do not see any reason to expect it to deteriorate.
Japan elected Shinzo Abe as prime minister just days before Korea elected Park Geun-hye as president. How could relations between the two countries develop under their respective new administrations?
Daniel Sneider: In the past year, there has been a lot of tension between Japan and South Korea. Some of Shinzo Abe's views about wartime historical issues are particularly offensive to Koreans, and he has not signaled a desire to focus on improving relations between the two countries. Park Geun-hye, unlike previous Korean leaders, will probably not come into office talking about the need to improve relations with Japan. President Park Chung-hee, her father, had served as a Japanese military officer and normalized relations between the two countries in 1965. For reasons related to her family's history, as well as to the politics surrounding Korea-Japan relations, I do not see Madame Park rushing to open the door to Japan. For American policymakers, the tensions in the Korea-Japan relationship are going to be a matter of some concern, since both are American allies and important to dealing with North Korea as well as encouraging rising China to act as a stakeholder in the region.
Park will become Korea's first female president, as well as the first woman to lead a Northeast Asian country. Is this a sign of changing social attitudes, or does it have more to do with her family's political legacy?
Shin: Overall, female participation in Korean politics has increased over the years, but Park Geun-hye's case is unique. After a North Korean agent killed her mother in 1974, Madame Park was only in her twenties and yet she went on to serve as Korea's first lady. Her father was then assassinated by his top security chief in 1979, and she went into a sort of political "exile" for nearly two decades. When she initially returned to politics, her name certainly helped her a lot, but in the end I think she emerged as a strong leader due to her own merit.
Sneider: The pattern in Asia has been that women leaders have all been second-generation members of prominent political families. It does not mean that they are not qualified, but rather that they are more accepted in societies where women do not usually serve in a leading political role. The election in Korea is probably a sign of change, but not necessarily a sign of fundamental social change.
What domestic challenges could Park initially face after her inauguration in February?
Shin: There are two tough challenges Madame Park will probably face during her early days in office. This election has shown that Korean society is deeply polarized between progressives and conservatives. Roughly one half of the country supported Madame Park's candidacy, while the other half opposed it. How to unite those two sides will be her first challenge. Her other challenge will be economic development, with pressure to provide more social welfare. Korea's economy is doing comparatively well, but it is still not in the strongest shape.

Muhammed Yunus: Banking the Unbankable
In seeking to help the poor, Grameen Bank founder Muhammed Yunus showed the world the value of microlending.
Economist, author, Nobel Laureate and the visionary who saw opportunity in a business model that traditional banks wouldn't touch. Muhammed Yunus founded Grameen Bank in 1983 on the concept that making small loans with reasonable rates to the impoverished population of Bangladesh would create financial independence among the previously unbankable and ultimately strengthen his home country's economy. In the process of empowering the poor to help themselves, he gave credence to the microlending model.
According to Yunus, there are two types of businesses: those that exist to make money for themselves, and those that exist instead for the purpose of social goals. "It's all about others," Yunus said during a lecture at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School in 2010. "Business to do good to the people, do good to the planet."

BD Metrics wants to help trade show organizers catch up with the "YouTube effect" by offering TradeshowTV, a product that allows them to set up their own CNN-type news desk to broadcast show news from their organization's Web site.
BD Metrics CEO Rick Geritz says, "Associations are sitting on all this great content but didn't have a way to get it out professionally. TradeshowTV lets you take a piece of news, video, or picture, drag it into a Web site, and have it televised by a professional anchor at a virtual news desk."
The idea, he says, is to have the show's TV station look like a national newscast. Exhibitors can submit content to the show organizer, which can choose which items to run. Exhibitors also can run the show's station on their sites and include their own news items--functioning like a local news station--which can help promote the show as well. (BD Metrics offers a revenue share back to the association for exhibitor TV, and exhibitors pay a fee to run news stories that are picked to be televised on the trade show station.) "So you have all this user-generated content coming from the exhibitor base, you have all the content control, it helps promote the show, and exhibitor TV creates a new revenue stream for trade show organizers."
BD Metrics uses news anchors located around the world, so if you have international attendees and exhibitors, you can ask for anchors who can also read the news in languages other than English. "What we do is shoot an anchor anywhere around the world against a green screen and add in the virtual desk. You don't have to spend $400,000 to get your own TV antenna, station, and cameras," says Geritz.
For $5,000, show organizers get an Internet TV station for one year and three newscasts that will run before, during, and after the show. For an additional fee, organizers can get additional newscasts, he says.

bought this last year in black/yellow for my daughter. now 6months old. Was thrilled when it arrived and i have used it a lot. it is sturdy and suitable for its purpose but having used it i recommend researching travel systems. It can be tricky to attach the car seat to the buggy and take it off again. The car seat is not compatible with anything else and so cannot buy a base for easy fitting. The stroller is strong but large and quite heavy compared to others. i havent found it user friendly especially when you see others just click in and out quickly. in hindsight the car seat and stroller are sufficient. Have hardly used the bassinet as it slopes down at at the top when baby is in it. Have stuck with it though as it is only used for a short while.
Haven't used the travel system yet but you do get a lot for your money and on first glance it seems sturdy and looks comfortable for the baby. It can sometimes be tricky to collapse and put back up, the process feels a bit clunky. My only suggestion would be to have rubber wheels instead of plastic.
I purchased this as my new grandson is due in 6wks so haven't used this yet but it looks great and sturdy so i'm sure he'll look great in it .

Makeup is greatit allows you to enhance your features, or try out new looks. If youre having a bad day, sometimes a new lip gloss or nail polish is all it takes to cheer you up. As fun as makeup can be, you probably didnt receive an instruction manual or have your own makeup artist when you began wearing it. Lack of knowledge can lead to a Makeup Oopsyou have seen them, and you likely have been a victim at one time or another. Lets go ahead and look at the most common mistakes, and how we can prevent them from happening again!
1. An Orange Face: Orange can be replaced with any other hue that does not match your skin (bronzers come to mind). This is one of my biggest Oops momentsin seventh grade, I wanted to look like Cindy Crawford. I talked my father into allowing me to start wearing makeup. I went straight to the Revlon section at the store, holding crumbled advertisements from magazines featuring Cindy and which Revlon product and color she was wearing. I bought it all based on what Cindy worethe foundation, concealer, and eyeshadow (note: Cindy Crawford has beautifully tanned skin, while I am fair as they come). The next day I woke up early in the morning and eagerly applied my new makeup, confident I would be the most beautiful seventh grader in my class. As soon as I got off the bus, a friend I will always be grateful to (thanks Gina!) pointed out my face was orange, yet my neck was as pale as the rest of me. I certainly didnt think to look at my neck when I was applying the makeup. I immediately ran to the restroom and scrubbed off the makeup, avoiding makeup entirely until I actually had a makeup artist show me what to do. Lesson learned: get a sample of the foundations youd like to purchase and test it in natural light. Some companies, like Prescriptives, make it easy and will create a blend made specifically for you. Or you can simply ask your friendly makeup consultant at a makeup store or department counter for samples, but drugstores can be a bit more difficult. You can always take it back if you find the color doesnt suit you (make sure you know the stores return policy on open makeup). Luckily, cosmetic companies are making it easier for you to find the right color. If you have time before you go shopping, check out the cosmetic companys website and it will likely advise you to a suitable color based on descriptions or a short questionnaire. Cover Girl, for example, will guide you to your complimentary shade using their ColorMatch quiz (which is actually fun!). Dab the test colors on your jawline to ensure the color matches. Which leads me an addition: blending is your friend. Blend your foundation until your skin absorbs it. You dont want to walk around with two colors on your face (thats another story)! If youre still unsure, bring a friend along who can help you determine what looks great.
2. Raccoon Eyes: Sad movies, breaking up with a boyfriend, watching your sister get married
.these are all events which may lead to Raccoon Eyes. You have all seen them on women before (and it has probably happened to you as well)mascara is smudged around their eyes, or dark eyeliner applied with a heavy hand and is running down their face. There is an easy fix: waterproof mascara and liner. Several brands sell waterproof and smudge proof liner and mascara. If you are like me and always seem to sneeze immediately after applying mascara, thus creating smudges all over your face, you have two easy choices. You can either wait for it to dry then remove the mascara (trying to wipe it away while wet will only lead to more smudges), or apply a dab of foundation to the spot and remove mascara.
3. Age Appropriate Makeup: This is a common Oops. Im sure youve been shopping and spotted a girl who looked no older than 13 years old with bright red lipstick and layers of eyeshadow. Or, at my former workplace we had an older adult who loved bright pink gloss and glitter eyeshadow. She is a lovely woman but customers could not see past the makeup at times. Makeup does evolve with your age. While there is only one universal rule I have come upon (neutrals are our friend), there are some guidelines. Teenagers sometimes want to dive into experimenting with makeup as soon as they are permitted to wear it. Ironically, teenagers are the ones that require the least amount of makeup. I recommend a light, fresh lookgloss, clear mascara, cover upand then using one product to mix it up; perhaps shimmery lavender eyeshadow or a coral colored gloss. As you mature and change, so should your makeup. The red lipstick that looked great when you were 25 is not going to flatter you at 60 years old. Aging affects our faces, so that same lipstick would likely make your lips look smaller which likely would not be the intention. A solution would be to add a gloss to soften it a bit, plumping your lips as well. You will look just as beautiful at 60 years old simply by adjusting your makeup.
4. Mismatched Lips: You have seen this before, either around you or on celebritiesdark lip liner with no lipstick or the wrong colored lipstick. Dark red lip liner with nude lipstick is not flattering. Period. Match your liner with the lipstick or gloss. For a long lasting look, you can apply lip liner all over your lips and top it with a gloss to create a new look while using a fun liner.
5. Eyebrow Art: I had a teacher in high school that started out the year looking normal. Mid semester, she must have really gone to town tweezing because her eyebrows began to resemble upside down commas. I have no recollection of her name, but I remember her eyebrows. You dont want people to remember your eyebrows and not your name. If you arent experienced in tweezing or waxing, I highly recommend going to a professional. If you decide to shape your brows yourself and they dont turn out the way you want, please dont draw the shape in with a pencil. It is noticeable. Use a shadowyou can find eyebrow shadows almost anywhere that sells cosmeticsand this will provide a softer and more natural look.
While there are other mistakes that can be made with makeup, the great thing about it is you can simply remove it and start over. Nobody looks perfect all the time, even Cindy Crawford. By following the solutions in this article, you can avoid having your own Oops moment.

208 volts is common for certain 3 phase motors. Many of them are wired to accept 208, 230, 240 input volts.
Now, yours seems to be single phase, but submersible motors are wired to survive where other motors would fail under low voltage. I have a 1.5hp running on 210 volts for many years. A transformer would be a good investment.
