"On the eighth day G-d created coffee". For coffee lovers, like KosherEye, that idiom states it perfectly. We love coffee! The hunt is always on to find the next fabulous cup of coffee.
Coffee extract is not a new idea and has been used for years, commercially. Many coffee houses and cafes use cold-brew coffee extract. The Hourglass Cold Brew Coffee Maker brings cold brew coffee to the consumer. It is the brainchild of Todd Maas and Bob Neace and is based on Neace's grandfather's way of making "cold-brewed" coffee in a homemade contraption. They wanted to create a cold-brew coffee maker that was functional, yet stylish, and convenient, without the mess. The pair spent four years developing a "user friendly" model. The Hourglass made its debut at the 2009 International Home & Housewares show in Chicago and won an HFN (Home Furnishing News) Award of Excellence.
The coffee maker looks like its name suggests — an hourglass. To make the extract, ground coffee is added to the stainless steel filter, followed by water. The coffee is left to steep from 24 to 72 hours. At the end of the steeping process, the Hourglass is flipped over (just like an hourglass), the extract flows into the bottom compartment and is then poured into a carafe. (Trust us, it is Easy!) Then two ounces of the steeped extract is mixed with six ounces of boiling water to produce a "brewed" cup of coffee. The extract can also be mixed with cold water for a delicious glass of iced coffee.
Why drink cold brew coffee? The Hourglass produces smooth, low acid coffee perfect for people with acid reflux and digestive issues. One "brewed" pot can last a few days and is always available for coffee "on demand". It is a "green" product and uses no electricity or paper filters and yet produces a rich coffee extract. The extract has the added benefit of containing 69.6% less acidity than hot- brewed coffee and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks The per cup cost is low…. and, most appealing, the coffee is delicious even to very selective coffee drinkers!
And now the best news of all:
While testing this new product, KosherEye made an exciting discovery… the Hourglass coffee maker has offered the Sabbath observant community a breakthrough product.
For coffee loving Sabbath observant Jews, having a good cup of coffee on Saturday morning or after a wonderful Shabbos meal comes with limitations. There is a biblical prohibition against cooking on Shabbos, which includes the brewing of coffee. What are Shabbos observant people suppose to do? They drink instant coffee! Now there is a choice. The Hourglass is Shabbos compliant, since there is absolutely no cooking or coffee sifting involved.
We spoke with Kim Kapp, President of Hourglass, and she suggested that we use French Roast, coarsely ground coffee. We followed her advice and used the French Roast and also tried Espresso decaf. We made several batches of cold-brew coffee extract: 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours each. The 48 hour brew was excellent but, we like our coffee strong, so our favorite was the 72 hour brew. Is the long steeping time worth it? Absolutely! The finished product resulted in a cup of coffee that was smooth, rich and had a "freshly brewed" taste.
We suggest that when using the coffee extract on Shabbos, do not refrigerate it for several hours prior to use. Water from some Sabbath urns are not always boiling hot, and to ensure a really hot cup of coffee, the extract should be at room temperature. Kim advised that the extract, after brewing, can be left unrefrigerated for several days. So, time your brewing length and have it ready for Shabbos. Enjoy your coffee, and if there is any left over, refrigerate it!

If shy Bauer can fit in, he'll be just fine in Cleveland
By Anthony Castrovince | Archive 01/10/2013 10:15 AM ET
CLEVELAND -- The streets of this city on a winter weekday can be a lonely place for the new guy in town.And so it goes that when Trevor Bauer strolled through those streets Tuesday night, looking to play some pool and perhaps meet a few folks, he wound up on his own, hunched over a billiard table in a bowling alley. The Indians' high-profile trade acquisition was, in that moment, just another nameless face in the downtown tableau, a solo soul. Frankly, it's a part Bauer knows well. Back then was a diamond in the rough
Growing up invisible, my life was sure tough These are the words that open one of the rap songs Bauer recorded, along with high school pal Connor Garelick, and revealed to the ever-critical eye of the Internet last summer. And while the clearly amateur effort leaves plenty to be desired from a poetic perspective ("I'm gold now, because I shine in all I do/Like a 24-carat diamond ring for your boo") and Bauer himself concedes "I'm not good at it," we can read quite a bit from those words. For rare is the professional ballplayer for whom feelings of isolation strike such a raw nerve. This is, after all, a team sport. One in which the kind of raw talent Bauer possesses can elevate you to a supreme stature at a remarkably young age. For Bauer, though, the baseball talent that came so naturally to him stands in stark contrast to the social and interpersonal skills that have often eluded him. "I didn't have a lot of friends growing up," said the soon-to-be 22-year-old native of North Hollywood. "I had a lot of free time. Instead of going to the movies with friends, I'd be up at the park working out. Everybody would be talking about the movie they saw. Well, I couldn't be a part of that conversation." This is the fundamental foundation point you must understand about Bauer, one of the most hyped, most scrutinized and perhaps most misunderstood prospects in the game. For this is a man apart from all convention, be it baseball's time-worn training methods or basic clubhouse interaction. A man apart is a man critiqued, a man questioned. And the questions that arose out of Bauer's short and altogether unsuccessful stay in the Arizona organization have followed him to his new Major League home in Cleveland. Shake off your catcher in the moment leading up to your first Major League pitch? Yeah, that'll ruffle some feathers in a game so deeply devoted to an often-unwritten code of conduct. Toss the ball more than 400 feet, from outfield corner to outfield corner, as a regular part of your pregame warmup routine? Sure, you'll become a circus-like curiosity. Summon your inner Eminem and the let the world in on it? Oh, man, you're going to get crushed in the Twitterverse. And if you're traded a year and a half after a team took you with the No. 3 overall pick in the Draft and gave you a big league contract and a $3.4 million signing bonus, well, suffice to say it doesn't do wonders for your rep. But for Bauer, this arrival to the Indians, who acquired him in last month's three-team, nine-player swap with the D-backs and Reds, presents a new opportunity. It is here, he hopes, where, to paraphrase a line from Bob Dylan, his shyness won't be mistaken for aloofness and his silence for snobbery. It is here, he hopes, where his unique routine will be embraced with open arms. Already, things are looking up, for the Indians are genuinely open minded about Bauer, his program, his intellectual approach and his effort to become a better teammate. They wouldn't have swung this trade if they weren't willing to embrace Bauer, in all his forms. General manager Chris Antonetti and manager Terry Francona visited Bauer earlier this week, observing his throwing program at Ron Wolforth's Texas Baseball Ranch and his conditioning routine at Dynamic Sports Training. They came away convinced, in Antonetti's words, that Bauer "works very hard and is committed to being the best pitcher that he can be." And the Indians are going into this relationship committed to letting Bauer do his thing -- even if his thing differs from the norm. "If he aggravated somebody else on another team," Francona said, "I don't care." Bauer caused consternation in Arizona. The words "stubborn" and "uncoachable" have been attached to his name, and these are not words to be taken lightly. Bauer had command issues both at the Triple-A (61 walks in 130 1/3 innings) and Major League (13 walks in 16 1/3 innings) levels, and perhaps because he relies so much on his lower half, this was attributable to the groin injury that hounded him much of the year. But the baseball stuff aside, those same issues Bauer had in high school -- that struggle with the interactions that come so naturally to so many others -- followed him to the big leagues. When he was traded, he certainly wasn't barraged with texts from his former mates, wishing him well. Truth is, Bauer had once again been unable to secure meaningful friendships. "I'm still learning how to fit into a social setting," he said. "I'm not comfortable in large groups of people. It's tough in baseball, because you walk into a clubhouse and there's a large group. How do I fit in? I didn't learn that in high school. I'm still trying to learn it. It's something I need to improve on." That's one reason why Bauer is here, taking part in the Indians' winter development program, an acclimation environment for some of their prized Minor Leaguers. That's why he reached out to several of his D-backs teammates at season's end, asking where he went wrong. Bauer's athletic skill and standing have already introduced him to a wealth of money and opportunity. But Bauer still counts his close friends (including Garelick, who he met his junior year of high school) on a single hand. And he is still, in many ways, that kid off on his own, tossing baseballs in the park. "It's a lot easier to make friends now that I'm ... something," Bauer said. "But I still only have three or four really close friends in the world." The irony is that Bauer's first impression with the Cleveland media could not have been stronger. He came off comfortable in his own skin, comfortable discussing his quirks in both personality and profession. Bauer was well-spoken, open and approachable. If Bauer applies those traits to the Cleveland clubhouse, he'll fit in just fine. And if the more bizarre elements of his preparation are accompanied by success in the Tribe's starting rotation, he'll never have to worry about people trying to pull him out of his comfort zone. It's a fresh start for Bauer. The balls have been re-racked. The diamond in the rough has a new chance to shine.

Fast times, big throws and big jumps at UKJanuary 17, 2010
What a way to start the University of Kentucky's indoor track and field season.
Competition was simply outstanding in the Kentucky Invitational, with eight Southeastern Conference schools (UK, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt), two from the Big Ten (Michigan State, Ohio State), two from the Atlantic Coast Conference (Georgia Tech, Miami) and three in-state visitors (Louisville, Eastern Kentucky, Western Kentucky). Add to that post-collegiate Olympians such as Reese Hoffa, Perdita Felicien, Hazel Clark and Dee Dee Trotter, to name a few.
Hoffa, a world champion indoors and outdoors, as well as a two-time Olympian, blasted the Nutter Fieldhouse record in the shot put with a final-attempt distance of 69-6 3/4.
Nutter records also fell to Florida's Mariam Kevkhishvili in the women's shot and Western Kentucky's Janet Jesang in the women's 3,000 meters.
"An excellent field for an early season meet," said Don Weber, UK head coach. "Obviously, very few if anybodyis where they want to be at this time of year, just coming back from Christmas break. To be competitive in a variety of events is certainly an encouraging start. So I feel pretty good about it, and when you look at some individual situations, (there has been) some significant development from one year to the next."
Most noteworthy, he said, is Kristin Smith, who set a school record of 64-1 3/4 in Friday's weight throw.
"She said, 'as a freshman, rather than just focusing on me, I worried about how good everybody else was and that really was intimidating to me, and interfered with my development'," Weber said.
No more, which is a lesson the coach hopes the rest of his team will get after a competition such as the one this weekend. Focus on improving your own performance rather than worry about what someone else.
Some event-by-event highlights from Saturday, with ladies first:
60-meter hurdles — Felicien (8.13) prevailed in a photo finish over Danielle Carruthers (8.1311) and Vonette Dixon (8.1391).
"I totally didn't react to the gun," said Felicien, the 2003 world champion, eight-time Canadian national champion and former University of Illinois standout. "I'm happy to come out with a win. First race of the season."
Felicien was the Olympic gold-medal favorite going into the 100-meter hurdles finals at the 2004 Athens Olympics. However, she clobbered the first hurdle and fell. She missed the 2008 Beijing Olympics due to a foot injury.
"We don't need to talk about that. That was six years ago," Felicien said of her Athens mishap. "There's always going to be motivation, but it's been so many years and I've done well since then that I'm not using that as a centerpiece or focal point of my season or my career. Just race my race."
Her light at the end of the tunnel this season is the Indoor World Championships, March 12-14 at Doha, Qatar.
"The plan is to go there, be ready for Doha, be on the podium," Felicien said.
Carruthers, a former Kentucky high school (Paducah Tilghman) and Big Ten (Indiana) champion, is Felicien's club teammate (Speed Dynamics) and training partner. Carruthers lives in Atlanta now, but spent the last week training at Naples, Fla., due to cold weather.
"We've been training really hard," Carruthers said. "I had some great sessions before I came (up) here. … We did a lot for about a week and a half, every day — hard, hard, hard! Then I drove 10 hours back to Atlanta, had Thursday off, drove five hours here, and race the next day. I'm just trying to get in shape and get ready for Millrose."
60 — Carruthers also competed in Saturday's 60-meter dash, placing second in the consolation heat and ninth overall (7.53).
Auburn junior Shaniqua Ferguson won in an NCAA provisional-qualifying 7.28, ahead of Speed Dynamics' Ebonie Floyd-Broadnax (7.34).
800 — Tennessee sophomore Chanelle Price (2:06.95) and Middle Tennessee senior Zamzam Sangau (2:07.23) both posted NCAA provisional marks. Former Frankfort High School and UK performer Jackie Gordon was third (2:10.87).
3,000 — WKU's Jesang, a senior from Uganda, blazed to an NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 9:11.09. New Balance's Sarah Bowman, who won the NCAA mile title for Tennessee last March, was a distant second in 9:28.63.
4-by-400 relay — Kentucky got its lone win of the day from the foursome of Jenna Martin, Jazmyn Shorter, Brittany Cabbler and Precious Nwokey, 3:39.94 to Florida's 3:39.96. All are juniors except for Nwokey, a sophomore from Houston.
Nwokey had the Wildcats' fastest split, 54-flat, and was recognized by Weber as someone who has made "dramatic improvement" since last season.
High jump — Chaunte Howard, a 2004 Olympian out of Georgia Tech, topped former Auburn star Raevan Harris, 6-2 to 6-0 3/4. Howard barely missed at 6-4, which would have tied the fieldhouse record.
Shot put — Florida's Kevkhishvili, with a put of 60-7 1/4, won by exactly six feet over Tennessee's Annie Alexander. Kevkhishvili also set a national record for the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. (No, not the Bulldogs.) UK had a good showing as Ashley Muffet and Jennifer Svoboda placed 4-5, just ahead of Louisville's Jere' Summers.
Long jump — Miami (Fla.) got its only win from Deandra Doyler (20-4 1/4). Rachel Gehret, who placed fourth in the high jump, and Louisville teammate Amaka Omenyinma placed 2-3 at 19-10 1/4 and 19-8 1/4.
60 hurdles — Eric Mitchum (7.72), an all-American out of Oregon, bested former Tennessee standout Karl Jennings (7.85).
60 — This was an SEC trifecta. Mississippi State sophomore D'Angelo Cherry zipped to the win (6.65), trailed by Alabama senior Ray Jadusingh (6.69) and Auburn sophmore Harry Adams (6.73). After Miami's Cory Nelms in fourth, SEC sprinters from six schools took the next nine spots.
200 — More SEC domination of the sprints here. Ex-Seton Hall blazer Obra Hogans, fourth in 21.44, was the only non-SEC runner to crack the top eight. Georgia sophomore Torrin Lawrence ruled in 21.29, followed by Tennessee senior Evander Wells in 21.20. Both are provisional qualifying marks.
800 — Things got crazy here when a photographer strayed onto the track near the finish line with a lap left, triggering a collision that knocked out a pair of runners. Kentucky junior Sharif Webb, a junior college transfer, avoided the pileup and went on to win the first heat in 1:51.07.
What Webb didn't see coming was that the supposedly slower second heat would knock him down to third place. Georgia sophomore Aaron Evans wound up winning (1:50.65), with the Indiana Invaders' Juan Carrillo in second (1:50.95).
Mile — Former Tennessee performer Andrew Dawsom (4:11.52) won out over a pair of Michigan State runners, freshman Isaiah VanDoorne (4:12.12) and Spencer Beatty (4:12.35).
3,000 — One of the more exciting finishes came with Louisville junior Matt Bruce (8:13.50) holding off UK sophomore Luis Orta (8:14.11).
4-by-400 relay — Florida led from the second exchange on and finished in 3:06.40, fourth-best in Gators history. Mississippi State (3:09.80) rallied for second, followed by UK (3:11.64). A dropped baton on the final straightaway cost Alabama a chance to hold off Mississippi State.
Shot put — Hoffa led all the way despite a worthy challenger in Shore Athletic Club's Rhuben Williams, the runner-upat 65-11. Georgia senior Israel Machovec was third (58-1 1/4), followed by UK junior Colin Boevers (57-6 1/2).
"It was a good opener. I threw well," Boevers said. Doug Reynolds, UK throws coach, "told us to execute what we do in practice, and I feel like I did it pretty well. I didn't quite connect on any throws, so I know there's more in the tank."
"Reese Hoffa, he's really a hero in this sport and he's incredible to watch," Boevers said. "This is my first time competing with him. I was kind of jittery at first, but I settled in. I did my thing and he ended up with a great throw, and it was an honor to compete with him."
Hoffa would like to add a World Championships indoor gold to the one he won in 2006. (He won silver medals in 2004 and 2008.)
"World Indoors in Doha, that's where my eye's on right now," said Hoffa, who represents the New York Athletic Club.
Hoffa says he's better equipped now than he was in 2008, when he won the U.S. Olympic Trials but finished seventh at the Beijing Olympics.
"I think I'm more comfortable being in a limelight position," Hoffa said. "Beijing, although I had had some success, it was nothing like having everybody have their eye on you. And, if you're not used to that, there's no way to prepare for that. You've just got to experience it, live through it and learn from it."
Long jump — How about a 1-2-3-5 finish for Louisville? Wesley Smith, a sophomore, led the pack at 25-4 1/2. Tone Belt, who won Friday's high jump, was second (25-2 1/2), followed by Rudon Bastian (25-1 1/4), UK's Keenon Hall (24-7 1/4) and Friday's runner-up in the triple jump, Andre Black (24-3 1/2).
"It was pretty good. That's our second meet," said Jake Jacoby, U of L's jumps coach. "We're still working on things and they're dialing in fairly well. I was very happy with the way we performed tonight."
Daily competition in practice keeps Jacoby's group sharp.
"They're jawing all the time," he said. "It's a day-to-day thing. They challenge each other in the weight room and on the track, and it makes for a good, solid corps."
Pole vault — Florida junior Eric Foran won in a jumpoff, clearing 16-2 3/4 after tying with Georgia sophomore Allen Brandon at 16-0 3/4. Third-place Logan Lynch of Michigan State also cleared 16-0 3/4, but had one more miss.

Prep notes: Football season ends abruptly
Mon. November 26, 2012 at 2:28 p.m. | By Richard Burton

With losses by Trinity Catholic and Vanguard on Friday in the regional playoffs, football season came to an abrupt end in Marion County.
For the first time since 2004 and third time since 2000, Marion County will not have any teams participating in the third week of the FHSAA Playoffs.
In 2004, Trinity Catholic was the only team to advance past the first round after Belleview, Forest and North Marion all were taken down in the opening week.
The Celtics went on to lose their second-round game to North Florida Christian, but redeemed themselves a year later by winning 2005 Class 2B state championship.
GETTING PREPARED: There are 48 programs across the state's eight classifications remaining in the postseason.
Trinity Catholic and West Port each faced three teams who still have state title dreams.
Overall, Marion County schools are 1-12 against teams still alive in the postseason.
West Port's 28-27 overtime win over Class 1A state semifinalist Newberry is the only victory for a county school against a program still alive in the playoffs.
HELLO AND GOODBYE AGAIN: With Vanguard's loss to Gainesville, it marked the 13th time a county school has faced a team in the playoffs that it had lost to during the regular season.
Only three times has a county program been able to shake off a regular season loss (Dunnellon over Tavares in 1981, Belleview over New Smyrna Beach in 2000, Vanguard over North Marion in 2010) and win a playoff rematch.
Eleven of those 13 playoff rematches have occurred since the FHSAA's 2000 reshuffling of the playoff brackets that gave district rivals a shot at one another in the second round. Only the 1981 Dunnellon-Tavares game and a 1980 clash between eventual state champion Gainesville and Forest took place before 2000.
COMING UP SHORT: Trinity Catholic, which holds the county record for most consecutive trips to the regional finals, fell to 5-4 all-time in that round.
Trinity Catholic, now 5-5 in playoff road games, fell victim to The First Academy's first berth into the third round in five total tries.
END OF THE LINE: Vanguard saw Gainesville earn its 13th straight home playoff victory dating back to 1977.
The Knights fell to 4-3 all-time on the road in the playoffs under coach Alex Castaneda.
Before Castaneda took the reins, VHS was 1-5 all-time away from Booster Stadium in the playoffs, with its only winning come at St. Petersburg Dixie Hollins in 1994.
Gainesville's win put the Hurricanes in the regional finals for the third time in four seasons.

Read: How Last Night Went
Player text on NHL meeting: "More wasted time. Our choice is either give up everything to the league or watch them cancel the season."—
Chris Botta (@ChrisBottaNHL) November 20, 2012
The two sides are expected to be in contact today but not meet again until tomorrow where the NHL, according to Katie Strang at ESPN.com, hopes the NHLPA brings a comprehensive proposal.
Daly told Strang "We've never heard a full proposal from them. We've heard their proposal on economics — they're still suggesting that they're moving in our direction on economics. Until we know exactly where they stand on economics … we think it's all tied together. We'd like to hear it all together."

Alvita Teas
Twinlab Corporation
Each Alvita box is made from recycled paperboard.
Except for regular Green Tea, Alvita products are naturally caffeine free.
Native to Eurasia and first used by ancient Egyptians, Chamomile (Matricia chamomilla) has daisy-like flowers and a long and storied history as a gentle, soothing herb. In traditional Gernan herbalism, Chamomile was so popular it was called alles zutrut, meaning "capable of anything". With its pleasing sweet apple aroma, it has always been one of the world's favorite teas. In addition, its fragrance makes Chamomile a pleasant addition to potpurris and aromatic dried flower arrangements. Cosmetically, Chamomile makes a wonderfully soothing bath, a penetrating facial, and it can be used to bring golden highlights to brown hair.
Directions: The best way to make a good tasting cup of tea is by the infusion method. Place one tea bag into a cup with no more than 6 oz. of boiling water. Let steep for 3 minutes and remove bag. Press the bag before removing to enhance flavor. Add honey to sweeten.
Dandelion Root Roasted
Often brewed as a coffee sub-substitute, the roots of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) can also be used as an ingredient in root beer. The cleaned, raw roots can also be sliced into salads or cooked and added to other vegetables. The taproot is white on the inside and dark brown on the outside and grows up to 6 inches long. The plant first appeared in the 10th century journals of Arabian physicians. By the 16th century, the British considered Dandelion a valuable herbal plant and it has held a distinguished place among European herbalists for centuries. When the whole plant is used, Dandelion will work as a natural dye and turn a fabric a deep magenta.
Fennel Seed
A member of the carrot family, Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a native of Italy and one of the most ancient of cultivated plants. The Roman colonization of Italy spread the early use of the plant, especially for culinary purposes. Used as a flavoring for salt-water fish, it was also used to whiten, tenderize and deodorize the meat. The odor of Fennel seed is fragrant and the taste is warm, sweet and agreeable. Similar in taste to Dill and Anise, Fennel may be substituted for them in recipes for interesting effects. The shoots and stalks can also be eaten raw like celery. In addition to Fennel's culinary uses, it adds a sharp scent to poptpourris, sachets, perfumes and soaps. Fennel is often used with other herbs for its soothing effect.
Nettle Leaf
A perennial with separate male and female plants. Nettle (Urtica dioica) grows up to 4 feet tall and has toothed, pointed leaves that sting when touched. The sting causes a burning sensation. This is because each hair consists of a sharp, hollow spine that breaks off easily, allowing liquid inside, formic acid, to be released into the object causing the injury. In spite of its stinging, Nettles are of considerable use in many ways including culinary; they contain vitamins A and C, iron and a variety of other minerals. The young shoots can also be boiled as a vegetable. Nettle fibers can be spun into rope and made into cloth. Cosmetically, Nettle is a good cleanser, especially for oily skin. As a tea, Nettle may be taken hot or cold and many prefer it sweetened and flavored with lemon.
Red Clover
In Shakespearean times, Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) was known as "Honey Stalks" because it was so liked by bees. Red Clover is one of the world's oldest agricultural crops, cultivated since prehistoric times, and has a long history as a religious and magical symbol. Early Christians linked the plant to the Trinity, and during the Middle Ages, it was considered a charm against evil. The four-leaf clover, an occasional variety resulting from mutation, was and still is considered a sign for luck. Red Clover was also the model for the "clubs" suit in playing cards. Among the largest of the various clover species, Red Clover has a celebrated reputation for its health properties. Red Clover has a delicate flavor that can be brewed and served hot or cold and sweetened with honey. Many enjoy Red Clover tea mixed with Chamomile tea.
Red Raspberry Leaf
Native to England and a member of the Rose family, Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) shrubs grow wild along roadsides and in thickets throughout many parts of the world. The ancient Greeks, Chinese, Ayurvedics and American Indians used Raspberry for its health properties. The roots were used for its health properties. The roots were also used as a vegetable-boiled and eaten like turnips. In the 1940's, renewed interest in Raspberry resulted in a published study in the British medical journal, Lancet, supporting the traditional use of the Raspberry. Over the next 30 years, several other studies confirmed this finding, and today, physicians in England and Europe recommend a number of Raspberry preparations.
The teas below are Certified Gluten-Free by NSF. Certified Organic by QAI.
Fenugreek (used to help support digestion)
Fenugreek's (Trigonella foenumgraecum) aroma and flavor have given rise to its popularity as a culinary spice. The seeds of the fenugreek plant- whose beneficial properties were first described by the ancient Egyptians in 1.500 B.C.- have long been esteemed for their traditional use to help support digestion.* Alvita Fenugreek Tea is made with premium-quality, organic fenugreek seeds, and has a mildly bitter flavor with a hint of maple.

Solid. One of the best dopplebocks available. Almost black with pretty ruby highlights. Strong sweet malt aroma. Same for the flavor. Also hard candy. Sweeeet candy and some dark fruits. Smooth and full-bodied. Any easy drinker. If I am at Scholz Garden this is my go to beer.

One of the first bocks I ever had,poured a nice rich brown color with foamy head.Smell was very sweet and alcoholic,taste was buttery and caramelly and creamy.Since trying more doppelbock's I noticed this was a little thin in the mouthfeel dept. but still a really well made doppelbock.

Appearance This came out a dark brown in color with a beautiful, gorgeous head. The off-white head on that almost-black body in the football-style German glass was absolutely gorgeous.
Smell The burnt molasses and dark lagered grain worked well together, although the overall aroma was dull even as the bier warmed.
Taste The molasses was super-strong just as I like it. The grain was expertly lagered and very dark. The luscious sweets were sharp but not attention-grabbing. All together this was damn near perfect.
Mouthfeel This was just shy of medium-bodied and not bitter but still had a sharp, strapping molasses bite.
Drinkability I had this with a brat and bread at Prost in Seattle with my good friend skyhand and boy did it remind me of the Fatherland.

The double shovel means double trouble with Spaten's most dangerous beer. I can think of no better way to optimize my evening then with Z Optimator.
The Arnold Schwarzinager of beers, Z Optimator's strength is immediately apparant, both disgusting and delighting with its erste taste. Sometimes difficult to consume at first, as if your body is warning against its mighty conents, Z Optimator becomes smoother and more pleasing with each sip.
I can not recomend this beer enough to those who love strong and beefy beers that carry a bazooka for a buzz. I truely believe that there is something more to this beer then its high alcohol content. Consumers beware, this beer can lead to strange and unexplainable occuances and should be taken in cautiously.
I suggest splitting a 24 ounze bottle to begin an evening. Any thing more and you could be diving into a lake, half nude, in search of a cell phone that you thought fell out of your pocket. But oh wait...I don't even own a cellphone?
It wasn't one of my finer moments but how can the Univesity of Wisconsin sell such large pitchers for such a low price and not expect trouble?

I was making an Irish recipe that called for Guinness and being the rebel that I am I decided to try a different beer. I heard that Dopplebocks are strong beers so I figured it would be a good choice (this is my first Dopplebock). This beer got good reviews and it was cheap at my local store so I purchased it for the recipe.
I was a bit shocked to find out that this beer is not strong in flavor but it is in alcohol. I was actually REALLY surprised how smooth it was. I was disappointed for the recipe that I was creating because I was looking for something with a strong flavor. But as a drinkable beer (that's what you are supposed to do, am I right!?) this is a VERY smooth and a tasty beer. I know I will sound like a heathen but this reminds me of an American lager. Although I'd rather drink this if it was handed to me compared to most popular run of the mill lagers. I'm not wowed by this beer but it is very enjoyable and refreshing. It was very cheap at my local store too. It's a good bargain beer.
Now I'm confused what a Dopplebock is supposed to be like since this came straight from Germany. Now my impression of Dopplebocks are that they aren't that strong in flavor but they are in alcohol content. This is the country that made the Dopplebock. I guess I'll have to try more to find out if this is a fluke.

A: strong body thats black in the room, but not quite opaque. ruby edges reveal
a deep hue when held up to light. creamy head leaves a splochy glass.
S: plums, molasses, nuts, maple, sweet malt, alcohol
T: creamy body is oily slick and quickly coats mouth with a sweet malt flash that gives way to a softer chewier malted milkball quality. vanilla comes through, dark fruit, some maple from the nose, red grapes, chocolate. finishes with a touch of bitter, lingering sugar, and as the beer warms, a barely tart spice.
M: a bit light, and not as chewy as I would like for the style but otherwise nice.
D: I have been impressed by this beer and could enjoy it often, though considering better examples of the style are easy to find, dont know how often I will.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Very dark brown, nearly black, with a very thin medium brown foam cap of only 1/4 inch or so. Relatively low head retention as the cap shifts to sporadic bubbles leaving little lacing.
Smell is quite sweet - you can almost close your eyes and imagine that you are smelling a glass of liquid malt extract. There's a bit of chocolate goodness on the nose too as part of the malt montage.
Fiercely malty but interestingly not cloyingly sweet. There is plenty of malt sweetness there but you can also pick out some minor bittering trying to take hold. The malt is definitely the star of the show and is prominent by leaps and bounds but somehow it still leaves room for some subtle nuances. I can only fathom a guess at the number of malts it took to produce this but it was quite good as dopple bocks go. The finish was, again, more malt but it didn't linger as long as you might think.
Carbonation was relatively light in this, almost like it struggled to make it through the malts. However this also seemed to add some character to it that makes it a bit different. I'm not a huge fan of dopple bock but I did enjoy this brew and would probably drink it again. It just kept pulling me back in for another taste. Nice.

Presentation: 12 oz. green bottle with gold foil on top. No freshness date.
Appearance: Rich deep dark copper with a light tan head that dissipates to a sticky lace.
Smell: Hints of caramel, sweet and toasted malt. Some spicy alcohol fumes and a trace of apple peel aroma.
Taste: Thick and huge stodgy malt, caramel, rounded toasted malt, sweet dextrins and grain lets through a twang of alcohol and a thin leafy hop. A remaining dextrinous toasted malt, a ever so fading hop leaf and drying grain are in the end.
Notes: Ahhh ... a meal in a bottle. Breakfast anyone? If beer is measured by its malt back bone than this is a body builder beer. 7.2 abv with a 12 month self life.

Now this is some good shit! I have heard a lot about this beer and other Doppelbocks but since I'm such a hop-head, I usualy pass them up when it comes time to go to the store. I will pass them no more. This poured a great brownish color with great head that settled on top till the last drop. The smell was filled with toffee and carmel. The flavor was out of this world with a great carmel taste and just a touch of hops in the end to round it all out. For an import macro, this is about as good as it gets.

Aroma: Very malty with a nut-like aroma.
Taste: Rich roasted barley flavor with slight coffee tones. A faint metallic taste is present in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-heavy body with good carbonation.
Overall: A good doppelbock. Although I've had limited exposure to this style, this is the best I've tried so far.

Had this at a little German restaurant in my home town of Brunswick. Served in a stange, it was a reddish/brown color with a thick white head that left a little bit of lacing. Aroma was caramel and raisins. Taste also caramel and raisin, but also a hint of chocolate. Perhaps a bit on the thin side. I think there could be more of a malt presence. Still, I enjoyed this beer, and will drink it again.

Pours a nice brown beer with a thick, clinging off-white cream/foam lace. Malty/herbal aroma. Surprisingly light-ish, but also malty sweet and milky with buttery caramel, day old coffee and bitter dark chocolate malt flavours. Faint roasted flavours. Toasty notes all over. Raisin flavours become pronounced as the beer warms. Notes of metallic around the edges. Sharp carbonation on the tongue followed by a light herbal hop presence that blends nicely with a not so subtle alcohol spicy character. Hops leave a slightly leafy and oily slick feel on the palate, peaking at the finish, which is dry.
A good doppelbock, but not a great one (it's an imported macro brew at heart). Still well worth the try ...

This beer poured a dark brown color.It had a strange unexpected aroma, sort of like sourdough bread. The taste that followed however was typical and nice. Nice molasses sweet roasted flavor. This became a nice carmelly taste in the middlewith a sweet coffeeish aftertaste. Very little bitterness. It had a nice light feel to it, one of the few doppels you could drink after strenuous exertion on a hot day.

Presentation: It was poured from green 12oz bottle into a smooth mug. There appears to be no freshness date and the label reads "malt liquor".
Appearance: The body has a deep brownish mahogany color with a dark reddish amber hue and good clarity. On top there is an average size (about 1 finger thick) light tan head. It is slow fading and leaves behind good lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a sweet almost fruity nose with some dark grin notes and a slight hint of a mild sweet alcohol.
Taste/Mouth Feel: The flavor has a big sweet malty character and full body with notes of caramel roasted grain and toffee. Hop bitterness is very light and really only comes out a little bit in the finish. There is also the slight presence of a mellow alcohol that adds a little more complexity to the overall character. The palate has a slick full mouth feel with soft carbonation.
Notes: This was a very enjoyable doppelbock. Also this is the only Euro imported beer I have seen that is 12oz and not 11.2oz.

Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
The Trinity is as wrong as evolution.
Outdated idea my ass. Where did this "outside influence" come from then?
Toads point to new mechanism for evolutionCane toads are shining light on a new process by which genetic traits evolve, say Australian researchers.They say it has "revolutionary" implications for our understanding of evolution.Professor Rick Shine of University of Sydney and colleagues report on what appears to be a parallel process to natural selection, called "spatial sorting," in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."It's a pretty radical concept. It's the first really new mechanism for evolutionary change for 150 years," says Shine."It's a very different process to anything that Darwin talked about because you're having traits evolve not because they help you survive or reproduce, but because they help you disperse faster."http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/03/22/3169531.htm
I'm not talking about any particular experiment, I'm talking about passing the buck. If life didn't evolve here but needed help, then where did that help evolve from? If you're just talking about comets and asteroids hitting Earth, those bodies formed from the same accretion disk that the Earth did. Hardly an "outside influence."
Your real error here is in setting up the false dichotomy of "life evolved when lightning struck some mud" or life didn't evolve on this planet at all.
" My belief is that Natural (and sexual) selection can not explain all the diversity and all the different levels of evolution. Also NS/SS are very slow taking hundreds or thousands of generations to have a real effect"This is an erroneous belief. The evidence at Ash Falls, NE, directly contradicts this.
My belief is that Natural (and sexual) selection can not explain all the diversity and all the different levels of evolution. Also NS/SS are very slow taking hundreds or thousands of generations to have a real effect and it seems (to my non-expert eyes) that there were times when species exploding at a very fast rate i.e Cambrian Era. So there must be other mechanisms at work.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.

Atherosclerosis, sometimes called "hardening of the arteries," occurs when fat (cholesterol) and calcium build up in the inner lining of the arteries, forming a substance called plaque. Over time, the fat and calcium buildup narrows the artery and blocks blood flow through it.
A major part of treating atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease involves lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking) and medications to help reduce high cholesterol, control high blood pressure, and manage other factors that increase a person's risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

From Precy Dumlao, Opalesque Asia:
The Midway Market Neutral Fund, managed by New York based fixed income fund manager The Midway Group, started 2013 on a positive note and was up 2.35% (est.) in January, compared to -0.70% for the Barclays Aggregate, 5.18% for the S&P 500 (Total Return) and 2.76% for the HFR Hedge Fund Index.
The fund closed last year up 26.69% (est.). Launched in May 2001, it has annualized 21.5% since then. It can be found in Opalesques A Square database.
The Midway Group, which managers $468m in AuM, gathers fixed income managers that provide investment strategies in hedged mortgage securities, focusing exclusively on the U.S. residential mortgage market. The investment strategy is to attempt to identify and purchase undervalued investment grade securities that are backed by prime and near prime mortgage loans, according to the funds report.
Midways Managing Director John K. E. Morris said in his recent letter to investors: "IOs were well bid for the month reflecting a back-up in rates. The Midway IO Index (MIOI) returned 14.87% for the month with lower coupon IOS out performing. The MIOI attempts to capture the un-hedged price behavior of the broad IO market in order to measure market beta.

Otosclerosis occurs when abnormal new bone forms in the inner ear. This growth prevents proper functioning of other ear structures. This condition is a common cause of hearing loss.
The cause of otosclerosis is still unknown. However, otosclerosis tends to run in families, and may be hereditary.
Risk Factors
Otosclerosis is more common in Caucasians and Asians, females, and people in their teens through late 40s. Factors that increase your risk of getting otosclerosis include:
- Family history of otosclerosis
- Race
- Drinking nonfluoridated water: Some studies suggest that nonfluoridated water may cause a susceptible person to develop otosclerosis
- Hormonal factors, such as pregnancy
- Viral infections, including measles
Gradual hearing loss is the main symptom of otosclerosis. Hearing loss may be of two types:
- Conductive—involving the small bones of the inner ear
- Sensorineural—involving the cochlea, which is the sensory organ in the inner ear
Early in the disease, you may first notice trouble hearing low-pitched sounds or whispers. Other symptoms may include:
- A sensation of spinning
- Balance problems
- A sensation of ringing, roaring, or buzzing in the ear
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your ears may be tested. This can be done with a hearing test.
Images may be taken of your ear. This can be done with:
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- MRI scan
Treatments may include:
Hearing Aid
Hearing aids may be effective for conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
In many cases, a procedure called a stapedectomy may improve hearing. The purpose of this operation is to replace the diseased bone with an artificial device that can transmit sound waves to the inner ear. Stapedectomy is effective and frequently returns hearing to a near normal level.
Oral Treatment
Fluoride tablets are sometimes prescribed to stabilize the condition and prevent further sensorineural hearing loss. However, this treatment remains controversial and unproven.

Codes & Standards
Codes and standards are the guiding force behind the hearth and barbecue industry. There are building codes, fire prevention codes, safety standards, construction standards and much more. In the following pages you will be able to research which codes and standards relate to your area of interest and where to get more detailed information. Also, you will be able to determine when that code or standard may be updated or when there will be a meeting of a task force related to it.
Before you get started...
Codes are typically legal documents that have the force of groups such as the International Code Council (ICC) behind it and are enforced by such groups through building inspectors.
Standards are guidance documents, often written by experts in their field. They are created by Standards Development Organizations (SDO's) with Code Groups looking to the SDO's for guidance in writing code.
