Le syst�me de retraite am�ricain: entre fragmentation et logique financi�re
AbstractThis paper shows that, beyond the institutional stability of Social Security, changes in the private sector as well as the emergence of a new financial paradigm have transformed both the U.S. pension system and the political debate about its future. Although no major reform of Social Security has been enacted since 1983, this system changes slowly because of the decline of defined-benefit schemes and the multiplication of tax-sponsored personal savings accounts in the private sector. Related to a financial and individualistic logic, this phenomenon serves as an explicit model for conservative actors seeking to privatize Social Security. So far, these efforts have failed. This text explains why before exploring the comparative strengths and the limitations of the existing U.S. pension system.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) now says he "expect[s] to support" the Democrats' financial reform bill, after single-handedly winning bank-friendly changes in the legislation. With his support, Democratic leaders will almost certainly have enough votes to beat back a filibuster and pass the landmark legislation. But this support for Obama's agenda isn't sitting well with the Tea Party activists and other conservatives who championed Brown's candidacy in January. Is Brown selling out his base? (Watch a Bloomberg report about Scott Brown's switch)
Brown is proving to be a "masterful" powerbroker: Brown says he's the "key vote" on financial reform, says Noam Scheiber in The New Republic, but he's "almost certainly understating his influence." As "the 41st Republican," his ability to break a GOP filibuster gives him enormous power to shape or break most legislation. And he's wielding that power, and his connection to voters "masterfully."
"Mr. America"
Tea Partiers have good reason to fume: "For all the talk of being the '41st Senator,'" says Adam Sorensen in Time, "Brown sure has a knack for delivering numero 60 for Harry Reid and Co." Yes, he won some minor concessions in the banking bill, but in the end he's still a "clutch vote for a pillar of the Democratic agenda." Who can blame the "Tea Party types who helped elect Brown" from venting their "buyer's remorse" on his Facebook page?
"Scott Brown: Champion of the Democratic agenda"
Being the "deciding vote" cuts both ways: "It's sad to see Brown cave" on financial reform, says Stephen Spruiell in National Review. But it's understandable. If Brown were the deciding "nay" vote, Democrats would slam him when the next financial crisis inevitably hits, like they did with Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX). If he votes yes, nobody will remember.
Is a RINO worse than a liberal? "Disappointed conservatives" should give Brown a break from all the RINO (Republican in Name Only) "taunts," says Dan Amira in New York Magazine. After all, he still votes with the GOP 80 percent of the time. "That's a hell of a lot better than what the Republicans can expect from the Democrat who beats Brown if he doesn't stay moderate enough for Massachusetts voters."

Reviewed By Colin G (Los Altos, CA) Reviewed for a 2004 Lexus IS 300 —8/26/2014 10:33 PM
Threw it over the backseats which, in my Lexus IS300, do Not fold down. The cover is hanging on two headrests and the adjustable bungees on the bottom keep it stable enough. I throw water jugs in the back and when there has been spills, it beads on the cover and seems to be completely waterproof. Impressive, no complaints besides the fact that it's hard to get to the seat belts.
OK, but not great.

Not sure if I would recommend these? They look fine and the quality is good, but the fit is just OK? Difficult to get seat bottom cover to stay in place. If they had some type of clip or hook for the sides, they might stay in place better?

Access "Security response teams grapple with cloud computing security concerns"
This article is part of the July/August 2010 issue of Debunking myths about the advanced persistent threat (APT)
Udo Schweigert, a security analyst who runs the computer emergency readiness team at Siemens AG, says his company is well-versed in dealing with cloud providers but that work remains. The German-based technology giant has more than 450,000 employees in 180 countries. So it wasn't surprising that a division in Japan contracted with one software-as-a-service provider while the company's sales offices in Russia chose another to suit their needs, Schweigert says. Siemens moved quickly to develop policies and educate business users about the importance of data security when choosing a cloud provider. The company's work isn't done, however. More policies are needed to address cloud-based infrastructure and platform providers, he says. "We were lacking risk management with many of these projects," Schweigert says. "That's why we've made it part of our corporate risk management strategy." Cloud computing was a hot topic at June's Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) Conference 2010, where Schweigert spoke on a panel. FIRST attendees -- many of them ... Access >>>

We meet in Girard Park on the north end near the rear of the UL Alumni Center and the one way lane. The Petanque Court/Terrain du Pétanque is shown on Google maps.
We play Petanque every Fourth Sunday of the month. We start to arrive at 2:00 and begin to play at 4:00 or so after we have eaten a picnic lunch together. Some of us will get there sooner sometimes to have a picnic.
We come together as singles, couples, and families with children. All skill levels are welcomed. You may find people from these countries playing with us: United States, France, Belgium, Canada, Ivory Coast, England, Mali, and South Africa.
Games are conducted bilingually in English and French.
We have sponsored an International Petanque Tournament since 2007 with players and teams coming from the south of France, Belgium, Lyons, and Poitier, as well as Baton Rouge, Seattle, and Austin Texas. The tournament is usually conducted by Bernard Champay, a world champion and a representative of the French Ministry of Sport.
We generally mark our location with a Acadian flag on a pole when we are playing.
We have a club sponsored by Alliance Française de Lafayette, a local non-profit with ties to a world wide association seeking to encourage the use of French.

Her Aching Heart: Passions Flare & Riding Crops Snap in Comedic Satire
- Full Price:
- $39.00 - $56.00
- Our Price:
- $19.50 - $28.00
Pulp becomes palpable when two contemporary characters enter the world of a trashy romance novel in Her Aching Heart. Harriet and Molly just happen to both be reading the same book, the steamy Her Aching Heart, when their imaginations transport them right into the Victorian world of the trashy tale. Transformed into the wicked Harriet Hellstone and the saintly Molly Penhallow, the women indulge in bodice-ripping affairs, encounter absurd characters and are swept up in passions of epic proportions. Tony-nominated playwright Bryony Lavery has loaded this farce with songs, miracles and send-ups of countless cliches, each one funnier than the last. Lee Mikeska Gardner directs two actresses who portray every character -- males included -- in this witty and riveting comedy from The Nora Theatre Company. Learn More

Pours a lighter copper. Big pillowy head settles fairly quickly to a thin ring of film. Lacings are spotty. Loads of bubbles floating to the top.
Wonderful yeasty aroma with a really refreshing fruit character, almost pineapple-like.
Mmmm. Refreshing right up front with some very subtle hopping. Light biscuity malt takes over, given a bit of an edge by the lovely yeast flavours. Finally the black pepper comes through, really nice and a great contrast to the initial refreshing sweetness. Finished quite dry, peppery notes linger for a good while.
Excellent mouthfeel, carbonation really piques your interest and the smooth body doesn't disapoint.
A fantastic beer, should have brought back more!

A - deep orange glow, haze, white head gently floats on top, leaves some lacing behind.
S - peaches, apricots, herbal spice, earthy, fresh, but not in a bright floral way, more of a wet soil right after a rain kinda thing, I dunno. Different, but good.
T - dry, musty, earthy, herbal, damn... some really dry biscuit malt, I mean dry, lacking sweetness, but not overdone, fresh cut wood, well integrated flavours, pepper is really nice, not hot, hops don't jump out at you, but are firmly there, superb, lingering aftertaste
M - the carbonation isn't huge, but the mouthfeel is still quite lively and spritzy, dry, lip smacking finish
D - very quaffable, very thirst quenching, very flavourful, what more can you ask for?
I heard about this beer and new brewery months ago, and was intrigued, yet also cautious... new brewery in Victoria, pushing a session saison as one of their standard offerings... I'm thinking "lame wheat beer with some gimmick spices." WAS I EVER WRONG!!!
Most of my experience with commercial saisons has been of the heftier variety, which are very good, but lack that thirst quenching, refreshing quality that saisons historically had (supposedly, based on the reading I've done). Most of the lighter ones I had tried came off as poor attempts. NOT THIS ONE!!!
This beer rocks! It is world class! You need to taste this beer! It is truly satisfying! Exclamation mark!!!
Thanks to Canucklehead for sending me this very fine beer!

I've been "checking in" on this beer every now and then for a few years now, as much a review of my partialities as of the beer itself. Still a favorite.
Visually appealing golden-amber beer with a full white head. I enjoy the gritty interplay of spicy clove and pepper on a sour base. Reminds me of a grassy Wit with more spice to bite, ending on the same dry "where-did-all-my-saliva-go" finish. Definitely the aroma of Belgian yeasts up front, setting the stage with a light sour grassiness and hints of tart apple followed by cloves. Not too much, not too little for flavour.
Until next time Madame Farmhand.

This Belgian style saison pours a brilliant copper orange colour with a frothy, slightly rocky white head that dissipates into a bubbly film but leaves some nice lacing on my glass. I do, however, miss the classic Belgian yeast that this one just doesn't seem to have.
Smells of classic Belgian candied fruit and caramel with banana and spice (I definitely pick up the black pepper added to this one). A really nice buttery aroma wafting off this one as well.
Taste is actually quite bready up front with the spice and candied dark fruit coming through mid-sip. The finish displays caramel, bread, nuts and a hoppy bitterness that balances out the sugars. Awesome.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, very crisp and clean with a spicy finish that leaves my mouth watering.
At 5.5%, this is a very drinkable belgian style ale. It's full of complex flavours and is not too sugary or spicy. Overall, a well-balanced saison that I could see myself drinking all night long. Excellent, excellent stuff. Kudos to the guys at Driftwood for another stunning beer.

I split this bomber (cheers Eric) with my lovely wife. She's not very good at pouring beers (having somehow obtained a skill for slow low-carb pours), but even she gets a good three fingers of head atop a bright orange liquid. Great lace. The aroma instantly marks this beer out as a winner, with a complex mix of pear, pepper, grass and barnyard. I'd wear this as an aftershave. The initial flavour hit is a spicy pepperiness, followed up by citrus, earth and some mild barnyard funk. Moderately bitter, but hugely refreshing. The body is spot on, in my opinion... nicely crisp and ever so drying.
For a new Canadian brewery to open and offer a saison in its initial slew of offerings is very encouraging. For them to completely nail the style is remarkable. I think Driftwood holds a lot of promise and I'll happily hunt down the rest of their lineup. This is great stuff from Ritzkiss!

650ml bomber, brought back from a visit to Kelowna earlier this 'summer'...
This beer pours a hazy medium golden orange colour (very fall foliage-esque!), with two fingers of roiling, foamy eggshell white head, which leaves some splotches of lace around the glass as it duly recedes. It smells of white grain, banana, clove, and yeast. The taste is quite fruity - banana, apricot, some orange pith - mostly overshadowing the more demure malt. Balancing this is a nice even spiciness - clove, black pepper, some funky yeast, as well as an earthy, leafy hoppiness. The carbonation is very soft, the body full, round, smooth, and slick. It finishes clean, and pretty dry, the grain and spice staking their claim.
Given the very fall-like weather that we've been having for the past few weeks, my harvest mentality has definitely set in (California grape shipments are imminent!). As I am a few levels removed from any actual harvest, this beer definitely helps out. It is a solid example of the style - very flavourful, and everything in equilibrium. Spicy, fruity, yeasty, it's got it all. And at a pretty normal ABV, easy as pie to put back.

Pours a brownish orange, very thick soapy head which recedes quickly leaving some lace but not much. I have to admit I was congested when drinking this so I do not have much to say for aromas. I gave it the benefit of the doubt with a four. A very complex and unique beer when it comes to taste. Coriander, tea, lemon, a touch of honey sweetness. A very unique malt flavor. Spicy pepper taste compliments the higher level of carbonation. A well balanced beer. Carbonation leaves a prickly sensation in the mouth yet the beer is very smooth. Overall a very easy drinking complex beer. My second favorite find from my trip to Victoria. I brought home a few bottles of this stuff. Well worth it!

Viggo brought this one over. thanks eric!
22oz bottle. sampled july 16/09.
pours crystal clear dark amber with a big fluffy cream coloured head. the head seems to last forever and leaves a thick blanket of lace as it falls.
aroma is good. light alcohol. orange peel. light spice. nice yeasty character. bit of funky barnyard character, but very restrained. light caramel. white bread and cracker. bit of grain. big floral component too.
taste is good. light alcohol. the spicy character comes through even more than in the aroma. orange peel and a bit of fruit. nice floral character that never gets perfumey. white bread and cracker. grain. bit of slightly funky character, but again very restrained.
mouthfeel is good. medium-high carbonation level. under medium body with a fairly dry finish.
drinkability is great. very well balanced. certainly one of the better north american farmhouse ales i've had. good stuff.

A great Saison from Victoria's newest brewery. Nice cloudy burnt-orange colour with a foamy white head. Spicy, peppery malt and hints of citrus and fruit and hops. Good spicy and malty taste - the black pepper is fairly subdued but noticeable enough to be "felt."
Slight burn to the mouthfeel, probably from the pepper but a great beer and this would probably be excellent in the summer.

A: Pours a rich golden straw color, with thick 2 finger head. Great retention, slowly faded to prominent lacing. Hazy, just as a Saison should be. Glowing and effervescent.
S: Yeasty, slightly sour. Orange, pepper, clove and banana. Rounded out by a bit of malt. Somehow smells more Belgian than most real Belgians.
T: A little orange peel, and spice upfront, followed by what I would call a banana smoothness that leads up to a really good sour funk. Finishes with a peppery kick.
M: Great body, not heavy not light. Can't exactly call it medium either. Leaves your palate wanting more.
D: Really good, this could be dangerous session beer. The alcohol is well masked. One to look out for.

Great summer beer and a pretty decent example of the style although a little watered down from the belgian versions.
Pours a straw yellow colour with a decent frothy head.
Aromas of pepper and lemon dominate with a but of yeasty funk in the background.
Milky and smooth on the palate with lots of citrus upfront and a peppery kick on the back end although not as much as I would have expected. Light and very drinkable with moderate carbonation. Not as funky as some saisons but a very delicious summer beer for sure.

A- Poured into a pint glass, though it's my wide topped Heineken glass....was met with a super nice foamy head that was at least three fingers thick, eggshell in color and with excellent retention! The lacing is super plush on the side of the glass as I drink this down! The beer itself is a yeast hazed rusty orange color and has fine looking bubbles rising to the top! Very enticing upon first glance!!
S- There is a lot going on in the aromas....right upfront, I detect the black pepper that was used in making this. On top of the fresh ground berry scent, there is a blend of funky yeast, banana peel and clove spice. The sweet malt is present too and helps to counter everything else....the finish has a dry spice/bitter hop aroma that ties everything together!
T- The flavors follow the aromas fairly close...banana fruit, cloves, a very modest peppery flavor, lots of rich Belgian yeast/bread like qualities....it really delicious. Overall, everything is toned down from the aroma, and I find it dry on the palate, especially at the end...a really nicely balanced and flavored brew! Just as a note, as this warms up, the peppery character becomes much more noticeable and even leaves a little zing on my tongue, just like freshly ground black peppercorns would do on my food!
M- This is, in my opinion medium-full bodied, and is smooth as silk on the palate! The richness of the yeast is really prominent, and the balancing act between sweet/fruit/spice/bitter is really great. At the same time, this is a really crisp finisher and keeps my palate yearning for more.
D- I've never had a Saison that was brewed in Belgium but this is a world class beer in my opinion and I just know that this would rank right up with the authentic varieties! Another great pick up by my wife, who got this in Victoria for me and I would definitely get this again if given the chance! Highly recommended!

650ml bomber poured into pint glass April17 2011
A clear golden orange with loads of bubbles that move around like snowflakes in headlights swarming in from every direction, carbonation this heavy will maintain a thick foam all the way down the glass leaving lace everywhere, first in rings then tightly packed speckles
S peppercorns and funky yeast take center stage with floral, fruity and spicy hops in the background, this ones a little hard to wrap my head around
T not quite the complexity I found on the nose but still quite nice, the spice is magnified in the mouth and hides some of what I smell but still lots of flavor for 5.5%
M enters silky then explodes to a thick creamy body mid way then a bit of a bite and a lingering aftertaste
O summer session brew to say the least, pretty complex for something I could drink a gallon of
A crash course in Driftwood 101 has been a pleasurable surprise to say the least. With some of the best beers I've had from Canada in recent memory and I still have some of their top guns to take down, I'm thinking this will be a good week. chickenm provided me the liquid textbook for this particular lesson in Driftwood 101

Mitt talks money on the campaign trail
NASHUA, N.H. — Mitt Romney is fast becoming the Scrooge McDuck of the 2012 presidential race.
In Disney's version, McDuck is Donald Duck's rich uncle, fond of diving into his money bin and swimming through his pile of coins. Romney achieved much the same effect years ago when he posed with fellow Bain Capital executives for a photo showing paper money pouring from their pockets and mouths.

Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The Charlotte Bobcats updated the condition of head coach Steve Clifford.
"Bobcats Head Coach Steve Clifford was released from the hospital this morning. He is resting comfortably at home and looks forward to re-joining the team soon," said team president of basketball operations in a Saturday statement.
Clifford had two stents placed in his heart during a procedure Friday after suffering chest pains during a dinner.
Clifford was admitted to the hospital Thursday night and underwent testing on Friday morning, leading doctors to conclude he needed the procedure.
Patrick Ewing, the former Knicks great and Bobcats associate head coach, led Charlotte in its 101-91 loss Friday night against New York.

Call it the Darwin Proposition 13 effect.
There is still no rhyme or reason to the Manteca housing market as it enters the third year of full-scale foreclosure frenzy.
The best way to keep California's housing construction pulse from straight-lining might just be Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposal for reviving and expanding the $10,000 state home buyer's tax credit.
Are things leveling out in the Manteca housing market?
The typical transaction involving an existing home closing escrow in Manteca is flat – for now.
More and more owner occupied homes that are not under duress are making their way to market.
Finally there is some relief coming for those first-time buyers battling investors for foreclosures.
What a strange long year it's been.
A household with two full-time workers each making minimum wage - $8 an hour – could afford to buy a $115,000 home if they have no other debt load and have the means to come up with $6,000 or so for down payment and closing costs.
The Manteca housing gods must be crazy.
Don't look now but the clock is ticking on the most affordable housing era in post World War II Manteca history.
Out-of-state investors who have savvy are treating Manteca foreclosures as the deals of the century.
The Cherry Lane condos are on the verge of making Manteca history.
Rents for Manteca homes have dropped 15 to 20 percent across-the-board since the start of the year.
The countdown has started.
When spring-cleaning uncovers a worn floor it may be time to consider purchasing a new one, especially if you're selling your home in the near future. A new floor, like refreshed paint and updated fixtures, makes a home more enjoyable to live in as well as more marketable.
Can you imagine a museum without paintings? Technology has impacted society in countless ways but many overlook its impact on the arts. The very phrase "the arts" might evoke images of oils, watercolors or sculpture but technology is inspiring a whole new generation of artists who are using new mediums to create their masterpieces.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages edged up slightly this week, remaining near historically low levels.
Selling or staying, it makes no difference - everyone wants a home that looks great from the curb. Curb appeal comes together when all the elements of a home's facade are in good shape and working together. Driveways that are cracked or pitted with potholes, dingy front doors and other seemingly minor complaints like a shabby, scuffed mailbox, can all significantly detract from a home's overall curb appeal.
The largest residential development in Manteca history - and one that is slowly changing the city's demographics – is the progression of an idea launched 58 years ago by a Fresno native.
Conventional wisdom holds that in order to achieve a custom look in your home decor you either have to spend a bundle hiring professionals, or invest countless hours of hard work doing it yourself. In the Internet age, however, it's easier than ever to achieve the look of custom home decor without the expense or hassle of traditional methods.
Whether you're staying in place or planning to take advantage of an improving real estate market to sell your home, spring and summer are upgrade seasons. From adding a bathroom to creating an outdoor kitchen, certain improvements pay off for both homeowners who are selling and those who are staying. And while plumbing challenges, such as breaking through concrete or opening walls, may discourage some people, savvy homeowners know a tried-and-true option solves such problems.
Savvy interior designers know that items that are both fashionable and functional are in high demand. One of the best examples of a stylish, hardworking home fixture is also one of the most overlooked: the ceiling fan. In 2014, more homeowners are realizing the potential this classic technology has not only on their comfort levels, but also on their interior's design aesthetic.
One of the first questions new empty nesters face is: what do we do with the nest? Some are eager to downsize and sell. Others like where they live and choose to stay put.

Column: Su-burr Bowl
With it being the week of Super Bowl, I felt it was my journalistic duty to write about football. However, I'm not going to bombard you with yet another prediction of who will win, or analyze which team deserves the title more. Instead, I will talk about the weather.
Don't get me wrong, I like how the Super Bowl gets passed around from stadium to stadium, but was it really a surprise that there was an enormous possibility that it could snow and be bone-chilling cold in New Jersey throughout the winter months?
If you have been following the weather or news at all this week, kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday is said to be around freezing temperature with a mix of snow and rain, which has everyone in a frenzy. The NFL made a statement saying the game could be moved to Friday or Saturday due to the possible bad weather conditions. There was even an option that the game could be pushed back to Monday. The NFL said that it could change the date of the game 48 hours before kickoff and the time of the game 24 hours before kickoff if necessary.
The snow and frigid conditions aren't just impacting the date of the Super Bowl; it's packing a punch on ticket sales as well. According to Forbes and the ticket search engine SeatGeek, in the last 48 hours the average price paid for Super Bowl XLVIII tickets was $2,505. That is down almost $1,000 from the average price of $3,439 paid for the same tickets only three days ago. The last several Super Bowls have been in relatively warm areas like New Orleans, Texas and Arizona, so it is no surprise that people aren't dropping thousands of dollars to sit in the cold.
Moving the Super Bowl would break a long-lasting tradition. It wouldn't be the same if it was Super Bowl Friday or Monday. Although Super Bowl parties would be that much better on a Friday or Saturday, I still think it should stay on a Sunday. Sundays are meant to be for relaxing and watching football all day, it wouldn't be right to make it any other day of the week.
However, when we are arguing about moving the game to a different day, I truly think we are focusing on irrelevant details and completely missing the whole idea of what it means to play football. Players are supposed to be tough; the two teams who made it to the Super Bowl got there for a reason. They should be ready to play through anything. Also, Denver and Seattle aren't ideal weather locations either, so these two teams should be used to the harsh conditions.
You don't get to the Super Bowl and change when it will be played because the conditions won't be that great. It just doesn't make sense. To me, football is supposed to be played in the cold fall and winter months. That is what part of the game is all about. That is always how it has been.
I understand that there could be a potential risk factor if the weather is that bad, but if it is bearable the game should still go on. Unless players can't see a few yards in front of them because it's snowing too much, I think they should play. Granted it may be a terribly sloppy game, but it is still the Super Bowl.
CBS Denver couldn't have said it better, "It's Super Bowl Sunday, I think Vince Lombardi would roll over in his grave. The Vince Lombardi trophy came from Lambeau Field and it's the coldest stadium in football."
The best of the best are battling for the biggest award in the NFL. These teams should be willing to do anything for this championship title... even play in the snow.

Making a Stout from an extract kit.
I did everything fine until the last step. I did a full boil instead of a partial and got impatient.
On Tuesday night, I added the dry yeast to the ferment bucket at 82F.
On Wednesday, the bucket temp was down to 75F.
On Thursday it is down to 68F which is room temp.
Still no action on the carboy, even when I press down on the lid. The othe 2 extracts I have done showed activity withing 12 hours.
My question is, should I just open it up and add more dry yeast? Did I kill the other dry yeast? Or should I give the yeast more time?
Bottled 3/7: Cream Ale
Fermenting 3/7: Belgian Ale
On Deck: Imperial Stout
probably not...Most yeasts should be added below 80 but its just a baseline...you still should have been fine. Give it atleast a few days before you worry. Occasionaly i have had yeasts take up to 5 days to really show activity (bubbles) but gas production isnt an accurate display of fermentation...for all you know its fermenting away. Look in and see if there is any krausen, if not i would wait one more day and pitch fresh yeast.
82 F isn't hot enough to kill the yeast. The reason for letting the wort cool down is so you don't ferment to hot. If it ferments too hot you can get off flavors in your beer. The yeast that comes with extract kits is usually pretty forgiving.
You said when you push on the lid you get no airlock activity? Are you using a carboy or a bucket? If it's a bucket you may have an air leak somewhere.
Check your gravity. Your beer may be done already. Yeast can ferment pretty fast at 82 F. I had batches finish in a couple of days. (I still like to wait a few more days just to be sure.)
I did the same thing the other day and everything turned out fine. although I had a pretty strong ferment with the higher temp - and it has a slight banana smell... I bet Brian is right, you may have an airleak.
If it was closer to 90-100 I would be worried.
80 shouldn't kill it. Maybe just shake it around a bit.
See, thats why I use a glass carboy as my primary.. then you can see how everything is doing.
Thanks for the tips, everyone.
I'll pop it open today, take a hydro reading, then do the same in a day or two.
That should let me know if I need to add yeast again.
Thank you all again.
I would not be surprised if the fermentation was done the first night. 82F would make for explosive growth and a very fast ferment. Probably some fruity aromas as well.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Semi-related question for y'all. I'm a newbie mazer who was fixing up a 1-quart yeast starter last night to start a batch tonight. Three cups of water were heated in a saucepan, then removed and a cup of honey, a quarter teaspoon of yeast nutrient and a couple of pieces of mango [the fruit used in the mead]. The technique I was following said to let this cool to room temperature, then aerate and pitch the yeast, wet champagne yeast in my case. Trouble is, I started way too late, and by 2 AM the sterilized glass 5-pound honey jar I had it in was still warm to the touch, even after putting it in the fridge for a half hour. I hadn't been sleeping well and was way, way tired, and just decided to pitch the yeast so I could get four hours of sleep. I didn't take the temperature of the stuff, but the touch of the glass on the outside was like a mug of coffee after it's been out for an hour or so; above room temperature but still warm [there's scientific rigor for ya!]
There were a *few* bubbles this morning, but not a lot. Should I be concerned? If the yeast starter ain't up to snuff when I get home, anything I can do to encourage it? As I live in a crowded house, tonight is really the only time I'll be able to do it soon, so if it can't happen then, it'll be postponed for quite some time.
Im not an expert, and I dont know much about mead, but it should be fine. Actually, most answers you get her is "youshould be just fine". Because this is a hobby that will work on itself. you shouldnt have to do too much to make a great product. Enjoy!

We are all kinds of nostalgic here at imaginary headquarters as we mark our 10th anniversary and look back on all the amazing bands that have held firm spots in our hearts (and on mix tapes) over the last 10 years.
One band that supplied many nights of fun in our early days (specifically between 2001-2006) is Love Hotel. Their song, "Ahoy Supercool" was played on a repeat loop for some time and their shows were always a lot of fun. How could they not be? Love Hotel is made up of four of Seattle's finest who have also flexed their muscles as members of Harvey Danger, The Typing Explosion, Voyager One, and Severna Park. Members Sarah Paul Ocampo, Aaron Huffman, Mark Dibeh, and Bo Gilliland are so comfortable on stage, playing their sexy-smart pop songs that blend Rilo Kiley with early Liz Phair {and you can listen and download Love Hotel on bandcamp for free!}.
(side note: Can we start a petition to bring Typing Explosion back?!?!?)
And we feel like the luckiest imaginaries in the world, because Love Hotel have decided to get back together, for just one night, at Barboza this Saturday, June 23, 2012! Also on the bill is a set of equally illustrious openers: Sean Nelson & Shenandoah Davis, and Tomo Nakayama (Grand Hallway).
More than just a night of looking back, this show will remind us all why the Seattle music community is second to none, as a room filled with friendly folks gets to be a part of the fun as buddies take the stage to share their superb pop songs in a cozy room. Also reminding us, it doesn't have to be a big show to be grand and special nights like this should not be missed.
Upset. The word of the our 2008 Best Northwest Releases of 2008 Readers' Poll is upset.
With the Fleet Foxes winning readers and critical polls alike, who would've thought they wouldn't get top honors in our humble little Northwest poll? But they didn't -- they placed a distant second to New Faces, another debut record from some very talented, very young Northwest fellas.
We had other surprises as well, with unsigned newcomers such as Hey Marseilles, the Kindness Kind, and Kaylee Cole cracking the top ten, beating out Northwest heavyweights such as Death Cab for Cutie. We did not expect that. And we love it when you surprise us, dear readers.
We imaginaries like to champion the up-and-comers from the Northwest, and our results indicate that you do as well. We think you all also have fabulous taste, as always. Thanks to everyone who participated in our poll. We couldn't be more proud or thrilled to present the top 50 winners on your behalf...

Sold? De Bruyne, a victim of Chelsea's cruel transfer policy
Kevin De Bruyne is on the verge of a move to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, but he was never meant to be a hit at Chelsea.
Second-choice, back-up, alternative. Whatever the phrase, the concept remains the same. Kevin De Bruyne was not meant to be a key man at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea signed the Belgian forward in January 2012, when their fate in the Premier League was unclear. It was an uncertain time for the Blues with Champions League qualification in jeopardy and the club was keen to make transfer moves in case of financial concerns at the end of the season. Instead, the club won the Champions League in May 2012 and De Bruyne's fate was sealed. In came Eden Hazard and the rest, as they say, is history. De Bruyne was signed from Genk for just £6.7m in January 2012 and has made just two league starts for the Blues. Wolfsburg appear to have secured his signature for a whopping £18m.
Tidy bit of business, that.

Games on; date moved, site corrected
As of press time this morning, only three area basketball games scheduled for tonight had been called off.
The junior girls and senior games at Mammoth Spring were the casualties. Izard County was to be the visitor.
Cougars overwhelmed by 16 treys
SWIFTON — A barrage of 3-pointers from Richie Tharp helped the Trumann Wildcats eliminate the Izard County Cougars from the Kell Classic basketball tournament here Monday night.
Tharp tickled the twine from downtown 10 times and led the Wildcats (6-5) with 30 points as they defeated the Cougars 76-59.
Crawford's dunk lifts No. 24 UAB over Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Howard Crawford expected to take the final shot. What he didn't expect was how easy it was going to be for him.
With 1 second left, Crawford rolled off a pick at the top of the key and raced all alone down the lane, catching Jamarr Sanders' inbound pass and dunking to give No. 24 Alabama-Birmingham a 73-72 win over Arkansas on Saturday.
"I was shocked I was that wide open," Crawford, who scored 13 points, said. "I was going to take the final shot no matter what."
Weather, road conditions cut into schedule
As of press time this morning, junior high basketball games scheduled for three sites in the Guard-circulation area had been removed from today's schedule due to weather-related road conditions.
The Newport-at-Batesville, Mountain View-at-Cave City, Greers Ferry West Side-at-Concord and Hillcrest-at-Izard County games were called off and have not been rescheduled. The games in Brockwell (Izard County) had actually been called off earlier due to a scheduling conflict.
Two area teams win Kell Classic openers
SWIFTON — The Southside Southerners and Izard County Lady Cougars won George Kell Classic high school basketball openers here Saturday.
The Southerners slipped by the Maynard Tigers, winning 57-52 as Tyler Hoover scored 22 points and Michael Smith added 11. Prince Vaughn grabbed six rebounds for the winner. Dalton Littleton contributed four assists.
Petrino's Hogs perfect in finales; focus now on Mallett's decision
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — There's something about these season finales for Arkansas under Coach Bobby Petrino.
The Razorbacks finished with another tense victory Saturday night when they beat East Carolina 20-17 in the Liberty Bowl. Alex Tejada, who has missed his share of big kicks in his career, booted the game-winning field goal in overtime.
It was a scene reminiscent of 2008, when maligned quarterback Casey Dick threw the winning touchdown pass in a 31-30 victory over LSU to end that season.
2010 doesn't start well for Pipers
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After a 9-1 start to the season, the Lyon College Pipers dropped two straight over the weekend at the Cougar Classic.
A 4-game winning streak was halted Friday.
No. 9 Columbia and No. 23 William Woods did the damage on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
The Pipers held their ground in the first half against the Lady Cougars. It was tied 29-29 at the half, but Columbia ran away in the second half for a 65-57 decision.
Columbia (10-1) beat Lyon 61-57 in Batesville on Nov. 28. It was Lyon's only loss until Columbia did it again New Year's Day.
Hit-and-miss Hogs get one in Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Alex Tejada kicked a 37-yard field goal in overtime to give Arkansas a 20-17 win in the Liberty Bowl on Saturday night after East Carolina's Ben Hartman missed two field goal attempts late in regulation and another in the extra session.
Hartman missed from 39 yards with 1:03 remaining and from the same distance on the final play of the fourth quarter, then missed from 35 in overtime. Tejada, who has struggled with kicks in pressure situations himself, made his attempt to end the game.
Arkansas won despite going 0 of 13 on third downs.

The Pacific Gas & Electric Co. is rethinking how to best prevent contamination from a downtown property from migrating toward Santa Rosa Creek, representatives told the City Council on Tuesday.
The utility, which has been working for years to clean up toxic material at the site of its former manufactured-gas plant on First Street, previously has proposed building a 300-foot-long cutoff wall that would funnel and treat any contaminated groundwater from the property.
But after analyzing the plan further, the company has realized that the wall would be a long, disruptive and expensive project requiring the rerouting of the creek and dismantling of sections of the Prince Memorial Greenway.
"What we are looking at is identifying other alternatives that would give an equivalent amount of protection, but would not require us to tear up the Prince Memorial Greenway three seasons in a row," said Max Reyhani, the environmental engineer hired by PG&E to oversee the work.
The firm instead is talking to regulators from the North Coast Water Quality Control Board about possibly constructing two smaller concrete walls that would extend out from either side of an existing retaining wall installed during the construction of the greenway in 2004, Reyhani said.
The idea still is conceptual and has yet to be formally submitted to the water board. But if it is approved, Reyhani said it's possible the work could be completed in one construction season, which is limited by permitting requirements to June to October.
The City Council asked PG&E officials for a detailed update of the long-term cleanup project so they and the public could gain a better understanding of the history of the site, remediation work that has been to date and issues yet to be resolved.
"There are a lot of people who are very concerned about these issues," Councilman Jake Ours said. "They're worried, and that's not a good thing."
Waste products from the manufactured-gas process, including lamp black and coal tar, have been found in significant volumes on the site, which also contains leaking underground fuel storage tanks. The plant operated from 1876 to 1924, when PG&E decommissioned it and buried much of the toxic material on the site. The property was later sold to developers, who cleaned up some but not all of it during the construction of a four-story office building and parking lot in 1989.
Even though it no longer owns the property, PG&E has taken financial responsibility for the cleanup and has spent more than $10 million to date because it caused the contamination, officials said.
One significant outstanding issue is how the utility will handle a 10,000-gallon underground steel tank that is filled with coal tar, a thick, black substance with the consistency of taffy, Reyhani said.
Removing the tank or its contents presents a host of challenges. PG&E and its consultants considered heating it up and catching the vapors, much was done for three years on a different area of the property. They've also looked into freezing it in place, melting or dissolving the contents and sucking them out, walling it off, or excavating it beneath a huge tent to catch the fumes.
"We've looked at everything," Reyhani said.
All options present challenges because of the site's proximity to the greenway, a residential neighborhood and multiple downtown businesses and offices, Reyhani said.
PG&E's preference is to find a way to remove the tank, said Sally Goodwin, a project engineer for the utility.
"To be honest, I'd rather take it out if we could," Goodwin said.
But the work would take months and the tent that would need to be constructed would need to be four stories high and would take up most of the parking lot, Reyhani said.
"It would be a huge undertaking," he said.
The reason the company is willing the take the extra time to rethink its options is because the ground in the area of the tank is stable and the contents are not migrating toward the creek, Reyhani said.
Councilwoman Julie Combs sounded skeptical when she asked how the engineers could be sure that a "carcinogenic-taffy-loaded rusty steel tank" didn't pose a threat to the creek or groundwater.
But officials assured her and the council that the material was not mobile, was safety capped beneath a parking lot for now, and groundwater levels do not currently show significant contamination levels.
