Big Dance 2012, an event organised by Swansea Council's city centre management team and local organisation Let's Dance, is being held on Oxford Street from 10am until 4pm on Saturday July 14.
It will feature a selection of demonstrations and free dance sessions for people of all ages and abilities.
The Lindy Hop, Latin American, Ballroom and Jive will be among the other dances featured. Dance fitness sessions and belly-dancing will be among the other activities.
All demonstrations will take place on a stage outside BHS. Come-and-try activities are being held on the ground and a marquee area will be set up as a wet weather contingency.
The event is part of Big Dance 2012 – a major celebration of dance taking place throughout the UK that forms part of the Cultural Olympiad, the largest cultural celebration in the history of the modern Olympic and Paralympic movements.
The importance of regular city centre events and entertainment is highlighted by Swansea Council in its City Centre Action Plan – a scheme with a number of initiatives aimed at boosting city centre traders during tough economic times.
Cllr Nick Bradley, Swansea Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: "The profile of dance has never been higher thanks to the popularity of TV programmes like Strictly Come Dancing.
"This event follows on from the success of the Classic Car Show in the city centre a few weekends ago and will again help attract thousands of visitors to the city centre.
"Events of this nature are important because they improve the visitor experience in the city centre, support city centre traders and encourage people to return in future."
Other events to have taken place in the city centre in recent months include the arrival of the Olympic Flame at the end of May, a series of activities to mark The Queen's Jubilee, the Swansea Plinth Arts event and, most recently, the celebration of Love Your Local Market fortnight. Aussie TV legend Rolf Harris wowed the crowds last week when he visited Swansea Market to sketch a portrait of a long-serving market trader.

Raigad is a hill fortress situated in the near Mahad, Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. The Maratha king Shivaji made the fort his capital in 1674 when he was crowned King of a Maratha Kingdom which later developed into the Maratha Empire eventually covering majority of modern day India.[1][2]
The fort, which rises 820 metres (2,700 ft) above sea level, is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. There are approximately 1737 steps leading to the fort, though today an areal tram exists to reach the top of the fort. The fort was looted and destroyed by the British upon siege.
Before that from 12th to 15th century, Maratha ruled Raigad Fort. Maratha's lost the charge of the fort in 1436 A.C. after beaten by Bahamani King Alluddin Shaha II. Later on in 1479 A.C. and 1636 A. C. AhmadNagar's Nijam and Vijapur's Aadilshaha ruled respectively. Aadilshaha renamed the fort as 'Islam gad' and hand over the charge of the fort to Siddi of Janjira.
Shivaji maharaj had seized the fort in 1656, then the fortress of Rairi, from the royal house of the Chandrarrao Mores, a junior or Cadet dynasty to descended from the ancient Maurya imperial dynasty. The last More king (or raja) was a feudatory of the Sultan of Bijapur. Shivaji renovated and expanded the fortress of Rairi and renamed it Raigad (the King's Fort). It became the capital of Shivaji's kingdom.[citation needed]
In 1765 the Raigad Fort, along with Malwan in present Sindhudurg District, the southernmost district of Maharashtra, was the target of an armed expedition by the British East India Company, which considered it a piratical stronghold.[citation needed]
In 1818 the fort was bombarded and destroyed by , using cannons.[citation needed]
Major features[edit]
The fort was built by Chandrarao Mores in 1030. Its ruins today consist of the queen's quarters: six chambers, with each chamber having its own private restroom. The main palace was constructed using wood, of which only the bases of pillars remain. Ruins of three watch towers can be seen directly in front of the palace grounds overlooking an artificial lake called Ganga Sagar Lake created next to the fort. It also has a view of the execution point called Takmak Tok, a cliff from which the sentenced prisoners were thrown to their death. This areas is now fenced off.[3] The fort also has ruins of the market, and it has such structure that one can shop even while riding on a horse.
The fort has a famous wall called "Hirakani Buruj" constructed over a huge cliff. Its story is that a woman by the name of Hirakani from a nearby village at the foothills of Raigad had come to sell milk to the people living in the fort. She was inside the fort when the gates were locked by sunset. The love for her infant son back at her village gave her the courage to climb down the cliff in the dark. She repeated the feat in front of King Shivaji, and was rewarded for it. In appreciation of her courage, Shivaji arranged for a wall built at this location. Even today[when?] we can see it standing.[citation needed]
The king's public Durbar has a replica of the original throne that faces the main doorway called the Nagarkhana Darwaja. This enclosure had been acoustically designed to aid hearing from the doorway to the throne. A secondary entrance, called the Mena Darwaja, was supposedly the private entrance of the royal ladies of the fort; it leads to the queen's quarters. The erstwhile main entrance to the fort is the imposing Maha Darwaja. The convoy of the king and the king himself used the Palkhi Darwaja. To the right of Palkhi Darwaja, is a row of three dark and deep chambers. Historians believe that these were the granaries for the fort.[4]
A statue of Shivaji maharaj is erected in front of the ruins of the main market avenue that eventually leads to the Jagdishwar Mandir and his own Samadhi (tomb) and that of his dog Waghya. The statue was removed by alleged members of the Sambhaji Brigade [5] in July 2012 as a protest but was re-instated by Shri Shivaji Raigad Smarak Samiti, the Archaeological Survey of India, sculptor Rambhau Parkhi and the District Administration [6]

Honestly, it's not a bad tool. At first I was kind of turned off by it, because it was launched like it was the greatest thing in the world.
I eventually got around to signing up for it and using it. Of all the things it had, here's what it was good for --> Sharing a 'thread' with a selected group of people.
All the other stuff, like tracking the order of characters being input, and the widgets were kind of useless for me.
I'll keep using it until they kill it.

Bucs Awarded CB Gorrer Off Waivers
Written by
Beat Writer
Tampa Bay announced Wednesday afternoon that they were awarded CB Danny Gorrer off waivers from Seattle.
The third-year corner has played in 14 NFL games with one start and was signed by New Orleans as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M. Gorrer spent the first
eight weeks of 2009 with the Saints, before being signed by St. Louis where he played in three games, with one start.
Gorrer spent the last two seasons with Baltimore and saw time in 11 games, recording three tackles and four passes defensed.
The Buccaneers also announced G Chris Scott has been signed to the team's practice squad.
With Carl Nicks placed on injured reserve, the Bucs were thin at the position and called up guard Roger Allen from the practice squad Tuesday. Scott was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft by the Pittsburgh as an offensive tackle and played in two games last season before being cut from the Steelers in October 2011 and signed to their practice squad. The former Tennessee Volunteer was with Pittsburgh through the 2012 preseason and after being waived at final roster cuts, Scott signed to the Packers' practice squad

GLASS: Pint Glass
TEMP: Served @ approx 40 degrees
it's a hazy, golden amber/brown colored liquid. A thin head of tannish colored foam forms and dissipates rapidly. It leaves some thin and wispy lacing.
Smells of caramel malts. Light toastiness. Mild toffee notes. Light traces of sweet, dark fruits.
Taste follows the nose. Toasted caramel malts. Light fruitiness. Very earthy. Light hop kiss on the finish.
Medium body with a light-to-medium level of carbonation. Smooth and mellow.
Very easy drinking. A good representation of the style from the boys down at Choc.

One of my favorite choc brewes. Got it on vacation, Moore ok.
Pours amber, nice head that disapates quickly, no real lace to be had.
Aroma of malts and bread.
Taste of bread like malts, toast, yet earthy.
Taste of caramel malts, sweetness of raisin bread with a slight hop bitterness at finish.
Mouthfeel is smooth, hop crispness is there
Overall a good malty amber. Would buy again, bring on vacation.

This beer gushes out of the bottle upon opening. It pours a cloudy amber color. The head is massive, and recedes slowly into a thich cap of airy foam. The aroma is of light caramel malt, and not much more. The taste is similar to the aroma, but a bit stronger. There is, however, a nasty chalky thing going on in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation. Overall, this is a bad beer that I will not be drinking again.

Thanks Mom and Dad for picking up this unobtainable brew from OK on your trip to AR.
Copper and bronze color intertwined with great bubbling. That is all underneath a good two fnger head and thick foam that lasts through all twelve ounces.
Spritzy, toasted cracker with mild grass and earthen hopping.
The hops come out pretty well, almost take over the flavor of this beer on the finish. Starts with caramel and cracker and finishes with medium orange bitterness and Earth. Good session ale, underrated

Poured into Old Rasputin nonic pint...
A: a slightly hazy brownish red with a small off white head with good retention
S: a dusty, grapefruit peel and piney hop aroma with a solid caramel malt backdrop that blends with the hops to create an orange liqoure/orange marmalade cake aroma
T: not as hoppy as the aroma led me to expect, however, nicely balance with the malt flavors. that same dusty flavor lingers into the bitter finish but it seems to help give the beer some complexity, as this one seems fairly average
M: light medium body with nice carbonation and a chalky dry finish
Overall, an average amber that is affordable and tasty. worth a shot especially for the price

A: Pours a very pale amber color with an absolutely massive head that fades slowly.
S: Sweet caramel malts dominate the smell with a small citrus hop note near the end.
T: Subdued caramel malt make up the majority of the brew with the flavor of toasted bread showing through. A hint of hops come through as well to balance everything out.
O: Pretty darn good beer. Nothing crazy, just simple and delicious.

12oz->Pint glass
A ~ Deep Amber with a 1/4" of white, cratered head.
S ~ Sweet malts, toast w/ honey & a touch of floral/citrus hops
T ~ Sweet with a hop background. Notes of caramel, waffle cone, yeast roll...notes of earthy hop oils. Also Choc's brewer's yeast. Simple taste.
M ~ Creamy, semi-thin mouthfeel. Hops are a good backbone for the sweet malt.
D ~ Very enjoyable, but so different from the first time I had it earlier in the year. Doesn't wow the palette but is a good, not-overhopped ale. Worth trying, yet from other reviews it seems like they are having consistency problems.

Bottle courtesy of a generous trader. Poured into a Hill Farmstead wine glass.
Body is a moderate amber with a bit of haze. There is a huge off white head with a strong amount of lacing. The nose is a bit off with some cardboard and odd fruit plus a bit of bread and toast. The flavor goes far downhill with a bitter metallic bite and some cardboard. Weird tannic character as well. Mild bread, but that's about all that is there that should be there. Feel is a bit thin and metallic. Not a fan of this one at all.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
A: Deep amber, reddish even, with coppery edges. Decent head with okay stick and stay and lacing. Quite hazy even with a careful pour.
S: Sweet caramel malts. Fruity with a sour/tart edge. Faint grassy hops in background. A touch restrained. And while it is interesting enough, it is not what I was expecting.
T: Definite sour/tart note. I get the feeling it wasn't supposed to be there. Underlying the twang are malty caramel notes and a general grainy sweetness - a sort of rounded multi-grain caramel sweetness. There are some fruity esters and a bit of toasty grain in the background. Hops are floral and vaguely citrus. Not bad flavor at all, but not really to style due to what seems like a flaw.
M: Medium light body with medium, yet lively, carbonation. Drying finish is accentuated strongly by the odd tart / sour note.
D: Not bad and okay drinkable overall, but I have to think the tart / sour thing is a ding on this beer. Or at least the 6-pack of it that I picked got. I would like to sample it as an amber and not some sort of weak & mild Flanders.

S: Has a citrus and grain aroma with a trace of malt.
T: Light citrus and malt taste with a mild bitter finish. Has a slight metallic aftertaste.

D: Non-offensive amber ale. The label seems to present a depressing image/feeling. Beer came as part of a Choc 6-pack mixer.

pours a murky amber with a chubby finger of even white head which settles into a pretty even foam that leaves no lacing.
smells very syrupy and strong.
taste: bitter up front then quickly evens out with a heavy dose of amber malts.
mouthfeel: refreshing. leaves a very thin layer of syrup throughout the mouth.
this is so far one of my favorite ambers.

Acquired from davey, courtesy of the Local Goods 3 BIF so a big "Thank You" goes out to him. Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep amber color, with a large off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of caramelized malts, some citrus and some hops.
T: The taste starts out bready with a hearty malt character up front followed by some sweet flavors of caramel and citrus. The hops presence is mild but is strong enough to bring a good balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a decent mild beer that is worth drinking for a while.

A-Muddied orange color..
S-Juicy oranges from the hops are the first impression...then some rustic, musty malt backing..
T-The rustic/musty maltiness is in front...lighter impression of juicy oranges...not a blend I experience too often...
M-Medium bodied...semi-dry finish...
D-An Ok amber ale...nothing spectacular and nothing horrible...probably wouldn't buy it again but if offered wouldn't pas it up.

Loud fizzy sound upon pouring, and the sound continued.
Malty, generally one dimensional aroma with a touch of hoppy grassiness in background.
Amber of orange with large off-white tan head. Quite clear.
Mild malt flavors with slight brunt _(or at least excessive toastiness), caramel (but not sweet), with bitterness showing late and lasting through an extended finish. Not a lot of hop flavors beyond the bittereness, but the finish isn't too bad. This warmed up nicely and when I added the yeast from the bottom of the bottle the fruity flavors increased.
Carbonation is soft and fine and mixes with a moderate light body.
All is all this is adequate. Drinks easily and lightly. I would accept this one if offerred.

This one poured in the traditional choc fashion of hazy and dull. The color was amber, with some tan floaties in there. The head was mediocre, as was the retention.
The nose was a good balance of leafy greens and sweet caramel malt. Peat moss and some other unrecognizable spices rounded it out.
The same bit of smoked peat and spice were heavy on the pallet. The balance is still there, but distracted by the odd gamut of flavors. Apricot finish.
The body was medium, and the carbonation was very sharp. It had a smooth chalkiness to it that was pleasant and interesting.
Interesting, yet forgettable

My first Oklahoma beer after a big trade with coldmeat23. "Chapter 1, A Legacy Begins (off the label)" - seems like a good brew to start my tour with.
A: Cloudy red/orange shade with a large, frothy white head.
S: Mostly medium malts, with a little soggy cut grass smell.
T: Nice maltiness and a little dried fruit followed by an "off" flavor I can best describe as latex-like. More bitterness than typical for the style, which is a positive addition here.
M: Medium-bodied and fully carbonated.
Overall, I think this isn't too far from being a solid amber. Eliminate some of that "off" flavor and you'd have a pretty decent beer.

Rapid changes are taking place. Whether or not we accept peak oil, global warming, and climate change, increasing gas and food prices are an undeniable reality. Economic decline, financial meltdown, and the housing crisis have come together in a perfect storm that challenges us to make better choices. Responses range from survivalist homesteaders, earthship bioneers, and ecovillages to Transition towns and eco-cities. Ecolocity welcomes all of these approaches and hopes to weave them into a vision for the DC Metro area.

As a kid, I picked strawberries at a farm with a strawberry patch.
This is a happy memory. But there is another type of strawberry patch. It is inside a building. Sounds like a greenhouse, but my idea is different.
To begin, the building is a multi-story windowless warehouse. Inside are rows of strawberries on growing racks stretching to the ceiling. With two foot high racks, there would…

Anyone know this perp? Did he grow up in Los Altos? Was he a punk as a kid, too? Glad that he is in jail now. 8 strikes should be plenty to lock him up for life.

regarding the last comment: difficult to imagine this isn't about drugs because of the massive risk and stupidity...if so, it can and does hit anywhere and anyone, no matter where a person grew up or whether s/he was a 'punk' when younger...the 'nicest' kids from the 'best' families are threatening to kill their parents and siblings, robbing them all blind, getting felony records. despite massive intelligence and because of massive arrogance and individualism, PA and LAH may take longer to wake up to this fact and begin to come together as a community to tackle drugs than some of the less well-heeled areas. we know. we moved on and are part of a vibrant community taking it on...

December 2013
We used this park for an overnight stay and it was a little bit out of the way in a questionable neighborhood. There was tons of security so not a problem, the park is north of I-10 about 3 miles. Check in was quick, interior roads are paved and wide, sites are concrete and level, utilities were all fine. Place is full of workers, very few transient spots available so call ahead, I made reservations 5 months in advance. Place is well lit, fair amount of space between sites, decent landscaping, nice pool, exercise room and such. Park is fairly new. Probably will not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a couple months and found the park very well maintained and the staff very friendly and helpful. They are a new park in 2012 so there are no mature shade trees as of yet. The restrooms, laundry, and exercise facilities were very nice and cleaned daily. Most of the full-time residents are working in the Houston area, but there are short term people also. They have some nice small mobile homes available for rent as well if you do not have an RV of your own. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is far from a resort. Sure, it has a lake all the way in the back and was clean but I would call it a new parking lot with a small patch of grass at each site, sitting next to an RV storage lot. We stayed overnight so they put us up front right by the gate, saying it was the last spot left, but there was a full row of empty sites on the side. The back section was full of permanent residents with a constant flow of loud pick up trucks going in and out all night. The main road is very noisy with a lot of traffic. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

October 2012
We stayed three nights here while passing through on our way out west for the winter. It's a new park and really in Katy vs. Houston; but, it's only about three miles off I-10. There's grocery shopping a block away and very good Mexican food across the street from the grocery store. The sites are a little tight, but paved and level. There are a lot of full time residents living there with children. There's really no place for them to play; so I did experience them without their parents in the rec center. They were on the exercise equipment and playing pool. The rec center is very nice, but needs ceiling or floor fans where the fitness equipment is located.They had fresh coffee in the mornings and popcorn throughout the day. The dog park is huge, but very steep entering and leaving. It also is not totally enclosed so do not let your dog off lead. There's a small lake (or pond) within the area with beautiful birds. There were ATV's one day in the area. I'm not sure how they got in. Anyway, do be careful with your dog and always keep on lead. We might use this for an overnight if going through Houston. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new park and the nicest place we have ever stayed. All the roads and pads are paved. Every pad is very wide and has a small lawn and tree between each pad. The streets are wide enough that even though I am very inexperienced, it was a breeze to back the travel trailer into our spot. The swimming pool and hot tub are beautiful. The management is very friendly and helpful. There are lakeside and creek spots as well as pull-throughs. Everything is kept very clean and neat. I highly recommend this RV Resort to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clearly West Lake RV Resort caters to longer term clients with attractive monthly rates and practically no campground facilities. For example there are three showers and two toilets in each bathroom for 159 sites. You will need to call for daily rates and in my case the receptionist requested a rate different from that provided previously. West Lake is convenient for activities west of Houston not downtown which is 30 miles east on busy Katy freeway. If you're camping experience calls for a big concrete parking site, strong Wi-Fi signal and invisible neighbors west of Houston, this is the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

New RV Park (with RV Storage available). Very friendly RV Park staff. Rates good. Security gates with access code for entry after hours. Nice laundry and showers on-site. Always cleaned during our stay. Not much shade being a new RV park. Park was very clean and tidy. Lake for fishing. Nice size swimming pool. Dog wash station. Propane and free air. Nice size concrete RV Pads with all concrete roads. Nice landscaping. Pets are not allowed in the RV park. They must be walked in an open field (high grass and lots of trash was in field while we were there). Great layout makes driving around and backing into spaces very easy. That area needed a good RV Park. Close by two highways. We camped here in a Motorhome.

and a single fill of a 20lb tank will charge over 500 bottles!
Here's a quick demo of how it works...
For those looking for the "Cilffs Notes" summary of how this works: Take a 20lb CO2 Tank and regulator, attach a tube, and stick a 99 cent locking ball air chuck (tire inflator) on the end of the tube. Pop a cheap snap-in tire valve (schrader valve) into a plastic soda bottle cap and you're ready to carbonate any liquid in about 30 seconds. Colder liquids absorb more CO2 carbonation.
If you're intrigued, explore the steps on subsequent pages for more details...
As far as a "soda substitute," you can easily add a splash of orange, cranberry, or other fruit juice, a twist of lemon or lime, alcoholic mixed drinks, commercial or homemade soda syrups,or whatever you like...Our family drinks a ton of sparkling water; as kids, we always preferred it to regular tap water, and it's much healthier than soda.
I've recently taken to flavoring my soda water with lemon juice; I freeze a bunch of ice cubes of freshly juiced lemons, then take out and zap a cube for 15 sec. in the microwave to throw in my drink...Really tasty, low calorie, and no added sugar...
I've also experimented, with amusing success, at carbonating cheap wines (read: Charles "Two Buck Chuck" Shaw from Trader Joe's) to make dirt cheap champagne...Just make sure the bottle is chilled first.
I had been toying with the idea of buying a home carbonator, but I was leery of the idea of being locked into a proprietary, closed system of buying expensive refill cartridges from a retail manufacturer like Sodastream...
I knew there had to be a better way. After all, this is just mixing CO2 and water.
In my research, I came across an incredibly detailed essay on carbonation by Richard Kinch, without which I could not have completed the project...I highly suggest reading over his opus before embarking on your own carbonation exploration.
All of this can be done for around $100, plus the deposit on a CO2 tank...
Given that the cost of a 2-liter bottle of sparkling water is now over $1 (California just doubled their CRV surcharges), and based on the volume of water that we drink, it's a no-brainer. Plus, there's the feeling of liberation of being able to drink as much sparkling water as you want (much like digital photography vs. wasting actual film).
I'm not an EnviroNut, but since we're all apparently supposed to pitch in and make a last-ditch effort to save the planet, these facts on the effects of plastic water bottles on the environment were of interest:
- Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil - enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year - are used to make plastic water bottles, while transporting these bottles to markets burns even more oil.
- According to a 2001 report of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), roughly 1.5 million tons of plastic are expended in the bottling of 89 billion liters of water each year.
- The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles.
- Nearly 90 percent of water bottles are not recycled and wind up in landfills where it takes thousands of years for the plastic to decompose.
Personally, it's really just nice not to have to lug a bunch of 2-liters home from the market anymore, carry them all in, and find places to store them. (I'm sure she'll find other chores for me to do soon enough...)
- Ben
If money is no object, and/or the carbonation system is under consideration for use by elderly / disabled (or simply lazy) individuals, there IS another option that doesn't involve shaking the bottles yourself...
- Purchase a Sodastream (from Bed, Bath, and Beyond with a 20% off coupon, or somewhere even beyond-er), procure a Co2 tank as described above, and purchase a Freedom One (or Freedom One+ system) from Co2Doctor.com to connect the Sodastream with the larger Co2 tank. (choose the CGAWG or CGA option if you're on their order page.) While the initial investment in the supplies is not quite as cheap (about an extra $200), and it's not quite as DIY, I recently set up both sets of my grandparents with this system, and they absolutely love it.
Clamps to the hose, screws into the schrader valve. Presto. I used some nickel-plated screw-in valve stems found at Advance Auto Parts for $4 per two-pack. No rubber flavor or risk of corrosion. Works great.
A little side note, I am having trouble when carbonating some fruit juices, they seem to want to foam like crazy when I unscrew the lid. Any suggestions?
Other than that, this is a great Instructable. I love being able to make seltzer at home. I was able to get a 20lb CO2 tank, regulator, hoses, and 2 beer taps for $150 off CraigsList.
The shaking is a pain in the butt. How do we get our system to work (shake free) like theirs?
If you have a secure, leak-free connection to the CO2 supply, all you need to do is pressurize the empty space above the liquid to 60 psi, or so, and the patience to wait 24-48 hours. The gas will diffuse into the liquid without shaking until a saturated solution is produced. It's the exact reverse of uncapping a soda and leaving it on your counter at ambient pressure, allowing the CO2 to come out of solution and dissipate in the air.
This system does not waste any gas, because it is a closed system. You shake the bottle to get the gas to mix with the water. That's why you have to shake it. If you don't like shaking it, then by all means buy the more expensive products that do all the hard work for you. I won't, but you can do whatever you want.
I suppose in THEORY that if you had a long tube put from the bottom of the inlet valve that had a very small air bubbler from a aquarium store you COULD get away from not shaking so much, but you would have to inject the gas, open the lid, and inject more gas until you had the right pressure--but you would still be wasting gas and the major point of this entire Instructable is that by doing a little bit of work you can save huge amounts of money
It is also slightly more dangerous (although, not much more dangerous than brewing beer at home which many people do) because there is no valve to release the pressure from the bottle except for the cap. However, this is a minimal risk, as soda bottles have to be tested to some crazy high number like 150PSI without exploding because people leave bottles in the backs of cars all the time.
I built this exactly as written. Had a couple issues with product numbers, but got enough info to get the right parts.
Had friends over and got to impress their kids buy making "Coke" from scratch. Too much fun!
One question... Once in the glass, the cola loses fizz VERY fast. 5 minutes maybe? Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I do live in Montana. Could elevation be an issue?
Thanks again for posting. Fun weekend project while waiting for my cider to harden. :)
Great to see someone making their own seltzer and not using the store bought and chintzy method. I have been doing it for years. Only I have been refilling the old antique bottles from the 20's and 30's. Almost the same method but use a 35 PSI pump to fill the bottles with water, invert them bleed out the air usually it takes to times to fill the bottle. I use chilled water when filling then pressure with the C02. I normally shake while injecting the CO2 for more fizz. This puts to use my old and wonderful bottles. Now they are not just to look at but use on a regular basis. The water will stay "charged" indefinetly as it is sealed and the C02 is the propellant and shoots the water out when pressing the lever.
I solved this by moving to METAL based stems - I found bent ones used for motorcycles to help the bottles fit in my fridge. Instead of 2L, I use 3L because the caps are larger and allow the fitting of the metal stem into the cap.
Rather than using a rubber gasket, i was careful to not tear the thin polymer film that's on the underside of every soda bottle. Usually available for about $1/bottle if you buy one with store brand orange soda. Using stainless steel washers and a nut to press the thin film against the underside of the plastic of the cap, i easily got a good seal.
I've been using the same bottles for at least 3 years - it's probably time to switch, but it's a great system.
Also - the metal fittings will allow for the insertion of a tube that can go to near the bottom of the bottle so you don't have to shake!
I hold my bottles upsidedown whilst bubbling the gas in, thereby causing the gas to pass through the water, this reduces, but does not eliminate the shaking requirement.
everything but the co2 tank, in an assembled kit, including carbonator cap for less than the cost of parts everywhere else...and they shipped quick! they also have a kit with the tank.I happened to check these guys for the regulator as they were local to me, but it turns out they moved a few cities away. still the best price I found .
You could also buy a used carbonator for $150
..And, you can add the final touch with a used soda gun for ~ $75 - $85
I wonder what pressure a bottle of Coke, say, is at when opened.
Just curious. I really like the idea of carbonation my water.
because i still need to travel just to get a small, expensive can of co2 but i can easily buy an air duster for $4

► Characterization of human and mouse intraepithelial ILC1 as distinct from NK cells ► Intraepithelial ILC1 are a prompt source of IFN-γ in response to IL-12 and IL-15 ► Human intraepithelial ILC1 are increased in Crohn's disease patients ► Mouse intraepithelial ILC1 contribute to pathology during anti-CD40-induced colitis
Mucosal innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets promote immune responses to pathogens by producing distinct signature cytokines in response to changes in the cytokine microenvironment. We previously identified human ILC3 distinguished by interleukin-22 (IL-22) secretion. Here we characterized a human ILC1 subset that produced interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in response to IL-12 and IL-15 and had a unique integrin profile, intraepithelial location, hallmarks of TGF-β imprinting, and a memory-activated phenotype. Because tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells share this profile, intraepithelial ILC1 may be their innate counterparts. In mice, intraepithelial ILC1 were distinguished by CD160 expression and required Nfil3- and Tbx21-encoded transcription factors for development, but not IL-15 receptor-α, indicating that intraepithelial ILC1 are distinct from conventional NK cells. Intraepithelial ILC1 were amplified in Crohn's disease patients and contributed to pathology in the anti-CD40-induced colitis model in mice. Thus, intraepithelial ILC1 may initiate IFN-γ responses against pathogens but contribute to pathology when dysregulated.

Volksparkstadion (German pronunciation: [ˈfɔlkspaʁkˈʃtaːdi̯ɔn]) is a football stadium located in Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany. It is the home ground of German Bundesliga club Hamburger SV and was one of the 12 stadia used in the 2006 Football World Cup, hosting four group games and a quarter-final. Through a sponsorship deal the stadium is officially named Imtech Arena [ˈʔɪmtɛk ʔaˈʁeːna], and has previously been called the Volksparkstadion, AOL Arena [ʔaːʔoːˈʔɛl ʔaˈʁeːna] and HSH Nordbank Arena [haːʔɛsˈhaː ˈnɔʁtbaŋk ʔaˈʁeːna] for similar reasons. Due to UEFA regulations on stadium sponsorship, the stadium is referred to as the Hamburg Arena [ˈhambʊʁk ʔaˈʁeːna] for European matches.
HSV actually have nothing to do with the origins of the stadium, even though they own the current arena. Before the club moved to the current site they played at Sportplatz at Rothenbaum. Bahrenfelder Stadion was the first stadium to be built on the site of the Volksparkstadion and the AOL Arena. It was inaugurated on 13 September 1925 with a match between FC Altona 93 and HSV. In front a crowd of 25,000, HSV lost 2-3. At the time the stadium was also known as Altonaer Stadion, however it was not the home ground of FC Altona 93 (it was Adolf-Jäger-Kampfbahn). Altona was a large club of Germany that has long been surpassed by HSV.
After a long break the stadium was finally renovated. Between 1951 and 1953 the stadium was rebuilt. On 12 July the stadium was opened under its new name Volksparkstadion (The People's Park Stadium). Most of the building materials came from the ruins of Eimsbüttel, a district of Hamburg destroyed under Allied bombing. The new stadium could hold up to 75,000 and continued to be used for the various sporting events of the city.
In 1963, when HSV qualified for the newly created Bundesliga, they moved into the Volksparkstadion, a stadium that was both larger and more modern than Rothenbaum. At this time, FC Altona missed out on the opportunity and has struggled ever since. HSV then began to see some success in the Bundesliga and managed to maintain their status for years to come. HSV won titles in 1979, 1982 and 1983.
In May 1998 HSV decided to replace the unpopular Volksparkstadion with a brand new stadium, not only to help Germany get ready to host the Football World Cup, but also because it was getting increasingly more difficult to meet the safety standards with such an old facility. The old stadium was totally demolished and the new arena was rotated 90° to provide an equal viewing experience for all the stands and to take advantage of sunlight. The estimated cost of the new stadium was €90-100 million. The new arena serves both as a football ground and a concert hall. The capacity of the stadium during club matches is 57,000, which is reduced to 51,500 during international matches when the standing sections in the north grandstand are converted into seated areas. The record attendance was attained in Hamburger SV's victory over Bayern Munich (1-0) on 30 January 2009, when 57,000 paying spectators were counted.
The building permit for the new arena was issued on 30 April 1998. The new stadium removed the track and field facilities that increased the distance between the pitch and the stands. The stadium was inaugurated in 2000 when Germany played Greece; the home team won 2-0. With the new stadium, HSV has managed to attain an average attendance of 50,000. In 2004 a museum dedicated to the history of HSV was opened.
The stadium is a UEFA Elite stadium which makes it eligible it to host UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League finals.
In 2001 AOL bought the naming rights to the Volksparkstadion for €15.3 million, retitling the ground as the AOL Arena. In March 2007 the HSH Nordbank bought the naming rights for €25 million, and the stadium was rebranded as the "HSH Nordbank Arena" in a 6-year deal. From July 2010 the arena will be called the "Imtech Arena", after Imtech bought the naming rights.
Tournaments hosted[edit]
1974 World Cup[edit]
The 1974 FIFA World Cup was held in West Germany and the Volksparkstadion was one of the stadiums used in the tournament. In combination with the 1936 Berlin Olympic Stadium the two stadiums held all of the Group A games of the first phase. Three of those were played at the Volksparkstadion. The first game played was the match between East Germany and Australia where attendance dipped to a low of only 17,000. The next game, with the home side West Germany playing Australia, saw a bounceback with 53,300 in attendance. The attendance grew even more for the next match to 60,200 as home side West Germany played neighbouring East Germany. East Germany won the close game 1-0 with an 80th-minute goal.
Euro 88[edit]
In 1988 the European Football Championship came to West Germany. The Volksparkstadion was chosen to be one of the host stadia. At the time the stadium could hold 61,200 spectators. The only game of the tournament that was played at the stadium was a semi-final that saw hosts West Germany go down to the Netherlands 1-2.
2006 FIFA World Cup[edit]
The stadium was one of the venues for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, due to sponsorship contracts, the arena was known as FIFA World Cup Stadium Hamburg during the World Cup.
The following games were played at the stadium during the World Cup of 2006:
Date | Time (CET) | Team #1 | Res. | Team #2 | Round | Spectators |
2006-06-10 | 21.00 | Argentina | 2-1 | Ivory Coast | Group C | 49,480 |
2006-06-15 | 15.00 | Ecuador | 3-0 | Costa Rica | Group A | 50,000 |
2006-06-19 | 18.00 | Saudi Arabia | 0-4 | Ukraine | Group H | 50,000 |
2006-06-22 | 16.00 | Czech Republic | 0-2 | Italy | Group E | 50,000 |
2006-06-30 | 21.00 | Italy | 3-0 | Ukraine | Quarterfinals | 50,000 |
2010 UEFA Europa League Final[edit]
The stadium hosted the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final, in which Spanish side Atlético Madrid beat English club Fulham 2–1.[3]
The stadium's nearest railway station is Stellingen railway station. The station is on the S3 & S21 lines of the Hamburg S-Bahn and is also served from Schleswig-Holstein in the north by AKN railways. A free bus shuttle service is provided during football matches or other major events from the station to the stadium. There are several large car parks around the stadium. The A7 runs close by and the stadium can be reached via the exit Stellingen.
Other uses[edit]
The stadium hosted the heavyweight unification boxing match between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye on 2 July 2011. Klitschko won by unanimous decision. The stadium sold out.
The stadium hosted the German leg of the world wide concert event Live Earth on July 7, 2007. Among the artists performing in Hamburg were Shakira, Snoop Dogg and Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.

Hackensack officials can't say why violations at house owned by lawyers weren't pursued
Multiple housing-code violations were discovered more than two years ago in a Hackensack house owned by politically connected lawyers, but the city never issued any summonses or demanded that the deficiencies be corrected.
Instead, the violations only came to light this month when a fire damaged a neighboring house also owned by the lawyers.
Hackensack zoning board attorney Richard Malagiere, lawyer Carmine Alampi and Anthony Errico — the owners — were not cited for any violations at 236 Johnson Ave. since they purchased the property in 2008, even though previous owners had been issued such citations several times. On Dec. 10, a fire damaged the adjacent 238 Johnson Ave., forcing out 15 people and uncovering numerous illegal electrical connections and other problems there.
City officials said they could offer no ready answers for the lack of summonses and would look into the matter, but the apparent failure to enforce basic safety laws is raising fresh concerns among critics of the city's leadership, long dominated by the Zisa family. They say Zisa allies such as Malagiere, who has received at least $822,000 in fees from Hackensack for legal services since 2010, benefit from their ties and exert huge influence.
Neither Alampi nor Malagiere responded to requests to be interviewed for this article. Errico could not be reached.
In April 2010, a Hackensack housing inspector found smoke detectors were missing, illegal locks on bedroom doors and other violations at 236 Johnson Ave. and sent a fax to Alampi reminding him that the house was two years past due for a certificate of occupancy, records show. The message was underscored with several exclamation points.
"Eliminate rooming house conditions," inspector Julie Ferenczi wrote atop a long list of problems, which included a lack of smoke detectors on all floors, no carbon-monoxide detector on the sleeping level in the hallway, and key-locked bedroom doors, in violation of the housing code. She also noted the overdue certificate of occupancy.
Contacted this month, Ferenczi said she could recall no details of her inspection or if she issued a summons.
But fire and housing records show that Errico, Malagiere and Alampi — a heavy contributor to local Democratic candidates — never applied for a new certificate of occupancy, which would entail an inspection.
"I am afraid that the city's treatment of these landlords shows once again how little things have really changed in Hackensack — there have been fires in that house before," said John LaBrosse, a councilman and critic of the current administration, referring to 238 Johnson Ave. "There were ongoing violations that the city knew about, yet a fire still happened and people could have died.

West Lancs Positive Living supports a vast range of people from those requiring minimal support to those who require high levels of support, individuals who may have challenging behaviour, require support with personal care, have a physical disability or use alternatives to verbal communication.
The organisation provides paid staff support and transportation to the individual, which allows them to develop their independence, promote their social inclusion and develop friendships and a life away from their families. The service allows the carer to have a much needed break from their caring role and the person they care for to enjoy new experiences that others take for granted.
The sessions will seek to offer a minimum of 30 individuals with disabilities the opportunity to access a range of health related activities with the aim of increasing their general fitness, wellbeing and knowledge around their own health.
The funding will be used for :
1. Cook and Dine sessions.
2. Walks.
3. Dance sessions.
4. Wii Nights.
5. Boccia sessions.
6. Multi sports – sessions in sports centres, e.g. racquet sports, use of the gym.
7. Men and women health nights – session to discuss and offer information around personal health with the opportunity to ask questions.
The project seeks to offer a broad range of health related activity in a fun way to appeal to as wider audience as possible.
West Lancs Positive Living would like to take this opportunity to thank Awards For All for this opportunity.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
This place has got to be one of the best-kept secrets we've ever seen. The sign which identifies this residential building as the site of Art Nouveau hotel gives no clue, and may even scare you off. In fact, it takes a trip up an antique iron-gated lift to the fourth floor to even find the front door, which itself looks like the entrance to an apartment. Once inside, though, it's a different story—however unassuming the exterior may be, the interiors are some of Berlin's most stylish hotel spaces.The feeling is rather like a more modern and understated bed and breakfast, or one of the most intimate hotels you've ever seen. Each room is slightly different, but all are handsome, with hardwood floors, contemporary furnishings, and sumptuous beds. The owners, Gerd and Christine Schlenzka, are on hand, fluent in English, and ready with restaurant recommendations, as the only meal served is a breakfast buffet in the hotel's salon.A library lounge offers a moment of peace and quiet, and you can socialize or relax in the salon, pouring your own drinks from the honor bar. The Kurfürstendamm, Berlin's upscale retail district, is a short walk away, as are the restaurants of the Savignyplatz. Potsdamer Platz and Berlin-Mitte are also easily accessible, in case you want a taste of the fast-paced life; fortunately at the end of the day you'll be able to quietly leave it all behind.

the announced style
What the hotel could do better:
It is not possible that a so-called 'boutique-hotel' is located in a fourth floor FOR PERSONS TRAVELING OBVIOUSLY WITH LUGGAGE, and having a not functioning lift. It is annoying, disappointing to have something like this: carrying luggage for 4 floors through the steps is no easy thing. This is not made for international travelers, it would only be good if you are traveling with a very small suitcase.
The internet connection is quite bad to the extent that using it is almost impossible due to its extremely poor speed and signal strenght.

adidas Basketball: The Making of "Basketball is Everything"
October 15th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments

The studio company will perform this month (March 28 and 29) in London at the Linbury Theatre at Covent Garden. Performances include Antony Tudors Continuo, Stanton Welchs Long and Winding Road, Brian Reeders Lost Language of the Flight Attendant and a World Premiere of a new duet by Robert Hill, set to music by Lowell Liebermann.
Posted 09 March 2003 - 06:02 PM
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I cannot go to London to see it... do you have any idea when they will next perform in New York?
Posted 09 March 2003 - 11:57 PM
I understand. I put that up because I think the ABT Studio Company is working on the London visit for this month. No other info has yet been released, but you can call ABT at 212-477-3030.

philip i have read things lately that make me confused about this situation of these 3 coaches staying on the road recruiting. First the secondary violations and Trooper & Looper being pulled off the road. This tells me there was not much to it. Second, i have read from some of your articles that there were coaches coddling players and getting them out of punishments. I assumed one of those coaches must have been Trooper. Is that incorrect? Can you tell us who were the enablers? Before the firing, i expected these three coaches to be the first to bolt and now they are staying to recruit. Does that say more about their love for AU or their insecurity of finding other employment?

Ebix's Expanded Stock Buyback Authorization Could be a Catalyst for Share Price Appreciation 3 comments
Jun 14, 2010 12:32 PM | about stocks: EBIXThere are few better catalysts for stock price appreciation than expanded share buybacks. Coupled with Ebix's excellent growth, its board's authorization of a tripling of the authorized buyback amount from $5 million to $15 million could be an excellent catalyst. (finance.yahoo.com/news/Ebix-Increases-Si...)
It's great to see management teams and company boards that put their money where their mouth is when it comes to an undervalued stock. It has been clear that Ebix management has seen their stock as undervalued for some time now, and an expanded buyback authorization is yet more tangible evidence of a commitment to increasing shareholder value.
In addition, the buyback may create upward pressure on the stock as shorts simultaneously have received a blow to their thesis, and buying pressure increases the share price.
All management behavior is a form of signaling. The increased buyback authorization signals shrewd management and perhaps (just perhaps) a willingness to increase buyback authorizations in the future.

How on earth do buybacks illustrate "shrewd" managment? How does it suggest future buybacks? And how does a buyback disprove the short thesis?
Growth companies generally don't have buy back programs. They use the cash for acquisitions. Slowing of their growth (either organic or via acquisition), would be terrible for valuation. Companies will use the "cheap valuation" as an excuse to buy back stock, but in reality, it's suggestive of something troubling: lack of acquisition opportunities or lack of returns on employed capital. Further, they have liability exposure regarding converts and bank loans. This particular buy back is a lame attempt to scare the shorts and boost their stock price above the conversion price. (I suppose on the other hand, the EZ Data doesn't seem to be working out, so perhaps a buy back is appropriate given their acquisition skills).
What they should be doing is ramping up their sales force and marketing efforts. They claim to be doing so, but hiring a bunch of people to work out of their India facility isn't the same thing.
You need to pick apart the numbers and ask serious questions of how these numbers are really adding up. The short thesis is quite simple, and a buyback only strengthens it. -
