Parish: Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Located: We are located on the corner of 6th and East Elizabeth Streets in Brownsville
Pastor: Rev. Michael Amesse, OMI
Other Clergy: Rev. Jose Torres, OMI
Parish Established: April 29, 1913
Population: 100 Registered Families
History: Immaculate Conception Church, now the cathedral of the Diocese of Brownsville, was built in 1859 and served the entire city for more than 50 years.
In1905, the priests recognized the need for a new church to serve the English speaking community. Construction started on April 16, 1912. The exterior was completed in January 1913, and the church dedicated on April 29, 1913.
The parish served 50 families when it opened, and its territory reached halfway to San Benito. The first pastor for the church, Father J.B. Lavoe, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate, lived in the tower of the nw church.
Oblate Priest Father Jean Baptiste Frigon, who cared for the parish for 16 years from November 1913 until his death in 1930, oversaw the completion of the interior of the church.
Some of the earliest settlers of Brownsville help raise funds for the construction and donated some of the interior fixtures. These include the altar and the stained glass windows, which were installed in 1918.
The church served as a parish until 1967 when Mary, Mother of the Church was built and parish boundaries were redrawn. Sacred Heart Church, which was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 2001, became a filial chapel of Immaculate Conception Cathedral after enduring 13 years of gradual deterioration during the 1970s.
Brownville residents of different denominations helped save the church and contributed to the ongoing restoration. Pablo Noriega, a restoration artist from Brownsville, worked to restore the side altar panels and recreate the altar towers that had been destroyed by Hurricane Beulah in 1967. He also built a new altar to match the altar of repose. The new altar, which is a duplicate of the original main altar, can be moved to accommodate the monthly Latin Masses offered at the church. The June Latin Mass schedule is as follows: 4th 6:30AM, 5th 6:30PM, 7th 6:15PM, 13th 6:30AM, 27th 6:30AM. Call the Cathedral at 956-546-3178 for the schedule during the remaining months of 2013.
Festivals/Feast Day Celebrations:
1. Stations of the Cross: Good Friday at 3 p.m.
Sacred Heart Church is a chapel of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral with Sunday Mass at 11:30AM. In addition to The Altar Servers there is a Latin Mass Society. The congregation also supports the various organizations at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral and Sacred Heart Church's sister mission St. Thomas Church.

Pastor: Rev. Alberto T. Treviño, Jr., MSF
Other Clergy: Rev. Franciscus Asisi Eka Yuantoro, MSF, Parochial Vicar; Rev. Simon Brzozowski, MSF, In Residence
Parish Established: 1928
Population: 2,200 Registered Families
History: St. Joseph Church in Donna dates back to the early 1900's. It was built by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and dedicated on June 18, 1916. Twelve years later on November 12, 1922 it was replaced with a new church.
It became an independent parish in 1928 under the direction of Father James Smith, O.M.I. Father Smith built a parochial school, which was directed by the Holy Ghost Sisters from San Antonio. For a time in the 1950's, the parish was placed under the guidance of the Holy Family Fathers. To meet the needs of a growing community, and replace the aging building, a new church was built in 1979.
Its mission church, Christ the King in Colonia Nueva, provides for the spiritual needs of the community in the colonia.

First rides & tests
16 December 2008 14:04
Honda recently launched their new-for-2009 ABS equipped Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade in Qatar - and our verdict is the system works.
The electronically-controlled 'brake-by-wire' system on the new Fireblade is revolutionary, totally unique on a motorcycle and very, very clever. It will save your skin in an emergency and give maximum braking power and complete stability for anyone, whenever you need it.
Most importantly it won't detract from the pant-wetting experience that riding a 180mph superbike gives you.

190/50 rear tire
Any idea why Honda is still using the 190/50 tire. If I got this bike I would want to switch to a 190/55 tire. Any idea if this will interfere with the new C-ABS system? Did you use a different tire on track at Qatar?
19 December 2008 15:52
Don't worry...
...The Blade's Combined ABS system only works in an emergency situation. For normal riding, including blasting around the track at Qatar, the C-ABS Blade feels just the same as a standard bike. There's the same feel on the brakes approaching the corner, and you can still trail brake in and feel what the tyres are doing, if that's what you want to do. Believe me, I would be the first person to flag it up if the C-ABS system got in the way, as I love riding on the track.
The whole explaination of how it works and what it feels like to ride is in this week's MCN. This isn't Honda trying to take awway our fun, far from it. This is what's called having your cake and eating it.

Missed the point
I think you have completely missed the point... I don't think it behaves like the old system at all spondonste. I read that you can trail the rear brake normally, and apply the front normally and it will behave like a normal bike. I think its only when the wheels start to lock that the electronic brain takes over to get you out of the shit. If im wrong, then fair enough but if im right this might just be a life saver that can't be ignored. Im sitting on the fence untill we get more info...
18 December 2008 10:48
Not for me thanks
Its not just an ABS system but a combined ABS system which takes away from the rider the ability to use only the front or rear brake. If you use the rear brake going in to a corner then the system will apply the front brakes aswell irrespective of wether the rider wanted that or not. Of course Honda will claim that it improves safety but the combined system removes functionality from the standard set up for what I can see is no real discrenable benefit. if Honda continue to use combined braking systems on their range then all they're doing is ensuring that I won't be a customer of theirs in the future. Honda appear to have so little respect for the ability of its customers that it assumes they can't pull a lever AND press on a pedal at the same time.
17 December 2008 12:25
Is it switchable
Very nice ABS system, does anyone know whether or not the ABS can be switched off. It might be nice to have the option to ride it normally in summer and oin track, and to switch on the ABS is wet slimy winter weather?

Headphones are available in a zillion styles, sizes, and price ranges. To help you cut through the clutter, we've assembled a list of top headphones by type and price.
The QuietComfort 25 model takes Bose's already stellar noise-canceling headphones and levels them up to new heights.
Despite some downsides, including a high price tag, the Bose QuietComfort 20 offers the best noise cancellation in an in-ear headphone and should tempt frequent travelers looking for a more compact alternative to full-size noise-canceling headphones, such as the Bose QuietComfort 15.
The Bose SoundLink Bluetooth On-Ear is pricey, but it's also one of the best -- if not the best -- on-ear wireless headphones to date.
With the freshly redesigned QC25 ($299.95), Bose has not only enhanced the sound and noise reduction of its flagship NC headpone, but made other small design improvements.
Bose says Beats' Studio and Studio Wireless headphones, soon to be owned by Apple, copy five of its patents.
Bose filed suit against Beats in July, accusing the rival headphone and speaker maker of infringing five patents related to noise-canceling headphones.
Despite some downsides, including a high price tag, the Bose QuietComfort 20 offers the best noise-cancelling in an in-ear headphone.
While they may not be quite as comfortable as Bose's ultrapopular QC 15 headphones, the Harman Kardon NCs offer slightly better sound and have a built-in rechargeable battery to power the active noise-cancellation circuitry.
At $129.95, the SoundLink Color is Bose's least expensive portable Bluetooth speaker to date and the $249.95 SoundLink On-Ear is the first on-ear Bluetooth headphone from Bose.
If you can't afford Bose's QuietComfort noise-canceling headphones, the attractively designed and more affordable Sony MDR-NC200Ds are worth your consideration.

Smartphones generally have a display size of up to 5-inches and they are comfortable to hold and use. With the dawn of the phablet era, we have started seeing devices with a display size larger than 5-inches. There are those that think these devices are uncomfortable to use and then there are those that derive utility from these large screen smartphones.
Phablets sport a display size larger than 5-inches and are good for reading books/online content, watching videos and playing games. If multimedia content consumption on the go is important to you, here are five phablets you can consider picking up during your DIwali shopping.
1. Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 (Rs. 17,450)
The Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 has a 5.7-inch display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution. The device has an aluminium finish, which makes it look premium. The phablet is comfortable to hold and use especially when it comes to typing. The display on the device has good viewing angles and is good for multimedia consumption. At full brightness, the display is quite vibrant.
A good thing about the Canvas Doodle 2 is that it runs on stock Android with very little customization. Customization comes in the form of exclusive Micromax apps that give users access to local content such as Bollywood news, wallpapers, astrology content, etc.
2. LG Optimus G Pro (Rs. 33,000)
The LG Optimus G Pro has a fantastic 5.5-inch display with a 1080p Full HD resolution giving it a pixel density of 401ppi. The display, though glossy, has good viewing angles. The phablet may be tedious to use with one hand and is ideal for two-handed operation. In its raw performance, the device stands tall with what the competition has to offer at the same price point.
The G Pro comes loaded with a bunch of software features, and if you are one that likes to use multiple apps on the display then this is the device for you as it gives you the ability to run more than two apps on the display at once. You could be watching a video on the top half of the display, browsing the internet on the bottom half and have the calculator app open with reduced opacity on the side. This way, you not only take advantage of the large display but also the multitasking capabilities of Android.
3. LG G2 (Rs. 39,900)
The LG G2 has the smallest display on this list measuring in at 5.2-inches. The bezel around the display is so thin, that even though the device is larger than 5-inches, it doesn't appear to be so. Put simply, the LG G2 has the best display in its class and it is the best to use. Viewing angles are great and because of the power under the hood, the device runs everything very smoothly. The UI is almost identical to the G Pro.
LG has incorporated some design changes with the G2. To start with, the power button and the volume rocker has been moved to the back, below the camera. If you are someone who likes taking pictures of yourself with the front facing camera then this device is ideal for you as the volume down button doubles up as the shutter button giving it fantastic ergonomics. The device also has a whopping 3000mAh battery.
4. Sony Xperia Z Ultra (Rs. 40,000)
The phablet with the largest screen size on this list is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The device has a 6.4-inch display with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution. Unlike the Note series of devices from Samsung, the Z Ultra doesn't come with a stylus. Nonetheless, users can use any pencil or ballpoint pen as a stylus on the device. The Z Ultra also boasts of weatherproof capabilities so you can comfortably use it in the bathtub.
The performance of the device is blazing fast thanks to the Snapdragon 800 SoC powering it. Sony has its own UI overlaying the Android OS and it is comfortable to use. The device is great for watching movies on the go.
5. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Rs. 47,900)
The Galaxy Note 3 has a 5.7-inch full HD display and the device is much better built than its predecessor. The phablet shows off the ability to run multiple apps smoothly on the display and TouchWiz is one of the better skins that comes preloaded on an Android device.
To take advantage of the large display, you have the S Pen stylus. There are a lot of apps that exploit the stylus and if you are a creative person, like drawing, taking notes (literally, not by typing them out) then this is the device for you. It is great for watching movies, playing games and reading text. The display is bright and vibrant. This is, however, the most expensive large screen device on this list.

E3 2014 Preview: What To Expect From Gaming's Big Expo
The 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3) is less than a week away, leaving gamers everywhere salivating for new hardware, exclusive gameplay footage and the almost inevitable awkward stage moment. With new consoles in the wild hungry for games, as well as a growing interest in virtual reality and new platforms like Valve's Steambox, E3 2014 has plenty of potential to be a big one.
Many of the industry's most cherished games and systems made their debut at the major Los Angeles expo, and last year's event gave us our first glimpse into the new generation of gaming with the Xbox One and PS4. Here are some things to expect from gaming's biggest expo, as well as some ways you can keep up with the madness from home.
Games, Games, Games
It sounds silly, but the thing we're most excited to see at E3 is, well, more games. Now that the anticipation surrounding the Xbox One and PS4 has subsided, it's time for publishers and developers to give gamers a reason to own those consoles.
MORE: Most Anticipated Games 2014
One thing you can count on is seeing more of the big multiplatform titles announced earlier this year. Among the show's confirmed games are shooters including "Evolve," "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," "Destiny" and "Star Wars: Battlefront." We're looking forward to action/adventure romps like "Batman: Arkham Knight," "Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor," "Dragon Age: Inquisition" and "Assassin's Creed: Unity."
That's already a pretty tasty plate of confirmed games, but the rumored titles are even juicier. A leaked presentation slide suggests that beloved stealth game "Dishonored" will get a sequel, and given that the next installment in sci-fi RPG series "Mass Effect" is in development, we would love to finally get a taste of gameplay.
Capcom is rumored to have "Resident Evil 7" ready for E3, and the company might even revive its long-dormant Dino Crisis franchise. However, if you're hoping that 2014 is the year Valve announces its forever-rumored "Half-Life 3," you shouldn't hold your breath.
To most gamers, Sony was the definitive winner of E3 2013. Not only did the company announce that its Playstation 4 would be free of the always-online requirements and restrictive sharing rules of the Xbox One, it also revealed that the system would launch at $399, instantly swaying many fans that were once considering Microsoft's $499 console.
Despite all the hype (and the 6 million PS4s sold as of Mar. 2014), the system only has a handful of exciting exclusives like "Resogun" and "Infamous: Second Son." This needs to be the year Sony breaks out its true system-sellers for its shiny new console.
A new "Uncharted" game could be that killer app; A PS4 version of the PS3's flagship action franchise was previously teased in a short video by Sony, and E3 2014 would be the perfect time to give fans a taste of some next-gen Nathan Drake action. Sony's intriguing alternate-history adventure "The Order: 1886" is confirmed for E3, and the rumored PS4-exclusive "Project Beast" (from the team behind "Dark Souls") could make an appearance.
Sony's Project Morpheus virtual reality goggles made their debut at this year's Game Developer's Conference, and you can bet on seeing more of them at E3. The accessory is still in the prototype phase and doesn't have many known titles being built for it right now, and we'd love to see Sony bring some of its big franchises into the realm of VR for the expo.
By the time E3 2014 rolls around, Microsoft will have completed a full 180 on its original vision for the Xbox One. The system that once required an online connection, had strict used game policies and needed a Kinect camera has since dropped all of those restrictions, and will soon be available in a new $399 configuration sans Kinect.
With the drama behind them (and a new leader in Phil Spencer), Microsoft is ready to deliver what everyone wants: Games. The Xbox team will be showcasing exclusives like "Halo 5" and "Sunset Overdrive," as well as a second wave of content for revitalized fighting game "Killer Instinct."
MORE: Best Xbox One Games 2014
You can also expect some significant updates to the Xbox One interface come E3. Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi previously told Engadget that the team is working to make the UI more navigable for those who don't have a Kinect for voice commands, and Major Nelson confirmed that users will soon be able to use their own external hard drives with the console.
Microsoft could be jumping on the gaming glasses bandwagon, as previous patents suggest that the Seattle hardware maker is working on a pair of augmented reality goggles. This accessory would be a logical companion to the Kinect motion-sensing camera, and would provide gamers with an alternative to the virtual reality experiences being crafted by Sony and Oculus.
Like last year, Nintendo is taking a back seat at E3 2014, forgoing a major in-person press conference in favor of a livestreamed "Digital Event" in addition to playable demos on the show floor. While the house that Mario built doesn't have the powerful hardware and robust third-party lineup of Microsoft and Sony, there's still plenty to be excited about for fans of the Big N.
Fighting fans can look forward to more footage from the Wii U and 3DS versions of "Super Smash Bros," as well as "Legend of Zelda" hack-and-slash spinoff "Hyrule Warriors." Speaking of the latter franchise, Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin Williams, named after the game) tweeted that she'll be "doing something extra special" at E3 2014. Perhaps Nintendo is ready to unveil a proper Wii U Zelda sequel, as there hasn't been an all-new non-handheld version of the game since 2011's "Skyward Sword."
Nintendo previously announced that it will launch a series of near field communication (NFC) toys for the Wii U and 3DS, so expect to see lots of little figurines poised to take on the likes of "Skylanders" and "Disney Infinity."
MORE: Best Nintendo 3DS Games
We expect to see more of "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" on the 3DS, as well as action game "Bayonetta 2" and RPG mash-up "Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem" on the Wii U. A purportedly leaked document from Nintendo's upcoming stream lists some tantalizing titles, like a 3DS version of "Metroid," a Pokemon fighting game called "Pokken Fighters" and a full lineup of downloadable Gamecube games for the Wii U, but we'll have to wait until the big show to see if those rumors hold up.
Steam Machines and Virtual Reality
We've already seen over a dozen Steam Machines, which provide different specs and price points for those who want to experience Valve's upcoming SteamOS software. We're hoping to actually play with the devices and get some release dates at E3 2014, as the likes of Origin, Gigabyte, Maingear and Alienware are among the brands looking to bring Steam to your living room later this year. Because the SteamOS ecosystem isn't exclusive to Valve, there's always a chance even more manufacturers will jump aboard come E3.
If "Steam Machines" is one of 2014's big gaming buzz phrases, "Virtual Reality" is the other. Oculus continues to refine its Oculus Rift VR headset, and perhaps the Facebook-owned company is finally ready to announce a consumer model now that it has proper financial backing. While Oculus is becoming a household name in the world of VR, we expect to see more competitors pop up during the expo to take on the likes of Oculus Rift, Morpheus and any crazy gadgets that Microsoft may have in its back pocket.
Where to Watch
Just because you're not in the Los Angeles area doesn't mean you have to miss all of the excitement. Livestream service Twitch will be broadcasting all of the major events, including media briefings from Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA and Nintendo as well as live game demos. You can view the full schedule here, so you'll know exactly when to tune into Twitch on your PC, mobile device, Xbox or Playstation console.
If you prefer good ole' fashioned television, you can tune into Spike TV's All Access Live starting on June 9th. Spike's coverage includes industry interviews and game demonstrations, and will also be available at Gametrailers.com.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa Goes All In With X2O Media's Xpresenterâ¢
Digital Signage Platform Provides Stunning Graphics and Ease of Use for State-of-the-Art Digital Signage Network; Integrates With Delphi for Operational Efficiency
MONTREAL â Jan. 26, 2010 â X2O Media, a full-service provider of software, network management, and content services for professional digital signage applications, today announced that the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa in Oklahoma is running X2O's Xpresenter⢠digital signage platform to facilitate communications between guests, players, and employees. The digital signage network features innovations such as instant alerts to display screens, seamless integration with Newmarket International Inc.'s Delphi system to improve operational efficiency and keep conference attendees up to date with event information, and X2O's Web portal that enables non-technical personnel to update content locally with ease.
Formerly the Cherokee Casino Resort, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa offers more than 100,000 square feet of gaming, a new 19-story hotel tower, a 1,000-seat convention center, and a conference area. To better communicate with customers and employees throughout the property, the casino required a state-of-the-art digital signage network that would combine exciting and eye-catching graphics with ease of use. To meet this need, Cherokee Nation Entertainment, the retail, gaming, entertainment and hospitality segment of Cherokee Nation, chose X2O's Xpresenter digital signage platform.
"Our digital signage system allows us to do a number of exciting new things. Now players at gaming tables receive real-time alerts of current standings and scores, while our guests view promotions of other attractions throughout the casino floor, such as restaurants and shows. We can also keep employees up to date on pertinent information such as dining, benefits, and facility security," said Todd Gourd, Director of Information Systems for Cherokee Nation Entertainment. "Another key feature is the ability to deliver instant messaging that is tailored to a specific customer, and have that message appear throughout the screens on the casino floor for maximum coverage and enhanced customer service."
X2O worked closely with Hard Rock Hotel's IT and A/V departments to develop content and create a consistent look and feel for each screen. Xpresenter's integration with Delphi, the most comprehensive hospitality software program, enables hotel event organizers to export information from Delphi, such as event details, meeting room updates, and other announcements, directly to display screens within the property. With the X2O Web portal, users can now quickly update content relevant to their displays by selecting from a library of pre-approved videos and images.
"The Xpresenter platform offers a vast improvement over our old system in terms of day-to-day operational efficiencies," added Gourd. "The ability to run multiple signage formats and the platform's integration with the Delphi booking system has saved our personnel significant time and effort. With X2O's Web portal, different departments can easily update their own signs as needed. And of course we're thrilled with the image quality and the graphical look and feel of our screens."
X2O's Xpresenter is an end-to-end platform designed to make creating, managing, and distributing broadcast-quality digital signage content on networks of all sizes available to all. Xpresenter's patented authoring module allows Microsoft® PowerPoint® users to produce compelling graphics that incorporate animations, clip art galleries, video clips, and real-time data sources â all without ever leaving the PowerPoint interface.
More information about Xpresenter and other digital signage solutions from X2O Media is available at www.x2omedia.com.

- Killer Alright!elaineVIPDined on 11/22/2014I really think the menu should state that Killer Shrimp is BEYOND hot/spicy. I like spicy food and thought I liked 'hot' flavors, but this was almost inedible for us. The shrimp are evidently cooked in the spicy broth and so even taking them out of the broth left them extremely flavored. We finally asked for some tartar sauce, but all they had was a 'spicy' variety, so opted for a bowl of ranch dressing which did cool down the taste somewhat. Their menu should probably include shrimp that is alot more mild in taste....shrimp scampi or shrimp and chips?
- Glad to find a Killer ShrimpOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014Great service, amazing shrimp. Because it's so good, I've never tried any other entrees. This is a friendly restaurant that can handle a business lunch as well as a fun night out with friends. Great bar and TVs for sports. A must-visit for anyone looking with food that is several levels above 'bar food'.Special Features:
- Not reasonably priced and flavoredSbnewcomerDined on 10/4/2014Spicy yet tasteless expensive shrimp food. Bread served was cold.
- AwesomeArlovskiVIPDined on 9/18/2014Its been a while... great food just as i remember...Special Features:
- Food was amazing, but...Tax03Dined on 8/31/2014I made a 6-person reservation that grew by the time we were seated. The waitress confirmed that we were fine to seat ten, but the manager (a man with salt and pepper hair) came over and informed us we needed to meet a "minimum" in other to order. He never specified what that minimum was, or why he thought we would not meet it. After assuring him we were all ordering dinner, we put in our drink orders (food orders were not taken for long after). There was no apology by the manager when our food took forever. He actually came up to the table and told us, "it's taking so long because you are a large party," with no apology. Our entrees were not brought out together. Half the restaurant was empty during this entire time. Food was excellent.Special Features:
- The following 4 reviews are from the Killer Shrimp - Santa Barbara reviews archive.
- Highly enjoyableCitynativeDined on 7/19/2014The food was good. The location was good. Really enjoyed the killer shrimp and breadSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ShrimpLoraquiltDined on 7/18/2014First time at Killer Shrimp and were greeted by a well informed, friendly staff of servers who helped to make for a delicious dining experience. There were two of us and we ordered three dishes. The calamari, which was crisp on the outside while the meat was tender,and not a bit greasy. Be warned, the habanero tartar sauce is very hot! The signature Killer Shrimp over angel hair pasta was spicy yet not too hot for comfort and the bread served to soak up the juices was just the right texture. Our third dish was the shrimp tacos and, again perfectly prepared and delicious, though not soaked in the Killer Shrimp marinade. We tried this restaurant because of a Groupon, but will be returning even at full price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Shrimp Were not KillerJohnDined on 5/31/2014My wife and I dined out front and had a great people watching spot on State Street which we really enjoyed. The killer clam chowder and steamed clams were just OK at best but the Killer Shrimp were really disappointing. The highly touted sauce was bland and simply did not taste good. The service was fine and the people watching on a Saturday night was great but we will not be returning given the quality of the food.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/25/2014The service and the food were FABULOUS! Billy was our server and he made the evening! He recommended the shelled shrimp and the pork chops and he hit it right on!Special Features:

More women becoming business owners
Over a 10-year period, the number of women-owned businesses in the U.S. grew by 44 percent, twice as fast as men-owned businesses, a new study shows. Over that same period, women-owned businesses added 500,000 new jobs. The findings of the PNC Women Business Owners Outlook shed some light on women-owned companies and show women owners are satisfied with their overall business performance. Six out of 10 say their businesses are meeting or exceeding expectations. However, women owners show a reluctance to take on long-term financing or make capital investments in the months ahead.
The survey found that most women business owners are funding their businesses with credit cards and personal savings in lieu of long-term bank financing. Nearly 59 percent use a business credit card and 44 percent rely on personal or family savings to fund their businesses.
Other highlights from the survey include:
> Eleven percent of female business owners say their business is exceeding expectations and 50 percent say it's meeting expectations.
> More than half expect their sales to increase, and 31 percent expect them to remain the same. Only 14 percent expect sales to decrease. Meanwhile, 41 percent expect to see higher profits, and 32 percent expect them to remain the same.
> Three out of four have no plans to hire full-time employees. Sixty-three percent expect no change in the number of part-time employees.
> Eight out of 10 women business owners are optimistic about their businesses, but only 41 percent intend to make a capital investment. Their outlook for the larger economy is gloomy—49 percent are pessimistic about the prospects for the U.S. economy and 37 percent are pessimistic about their local economy.

I will most definitely brew this one again. Thanks!
This turned out to be my best brew ever!
Can't stop drinking this one.
awesome recipe! Never had the real thing, but man this one turned out a fantastic beer!!!
Seems like this is getting good reviews, probably give it a shot.
Thank you Jerry!
I just put 10 gallons into fermenters - thanks again for the recipe.
an idea, since I just went through a great deal of citra in one day.
since the FWH/60 minute addition is almost all bitterness perhaps using a cheaper hop would work. something clean bittering like magnum.
My 6 Tap Long Draw Tower Build:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/long...-tower-271578/
Tasted our first attempt after 3.5 weeks in the bottle. It was a little foamy and darn good, but not quite there. I'm thinking another week or two in the fridge should help both accounts since it's only been in the fridge a couple of days.
Sampled our second attempt as we bottled this one today. My brewing buddy and I both tasted a lot of banana, so I'm not quite sure what that's about! I'm hoping that will clear up in about a month as it carbs and conditions. I'm not sure if it was the yeast or not, but this batch we used s-04, whereas we used 1968 in the first batch.
Just finished a blind tasting of my third attempt at this vs. bottles picked up from the brewery two weeks ago and kept cold.
I brewed on 2/14/3
Used crystal 40 instead of 60 since I used pale malt (which is slightly darker than 2 row?)
1.060 OG finished at 1.016
1968 with starter pitched at 54 and fermented warm at 73.
Dry hopped 3.5 oz
Keg/brite tank for two weeks pushed by gas to serving keg.
Did this blind so I could avoid being influenced by what I thought would be the little lingering yeast from the brite tank. Turned out to be a non factor as the beers looked exactly the same.
Aroma was dead on and really couldn't tell a difference. I did pick correctly mine as I thought it was a smidgen stronger attributed to freshness.
Flavor was tricky. One of them had a noticeable mild harshness relative to the other. It also had a less clean flavor to it. At first I thought this was mine due to any lingering yeast. The more I sampled each, the more I felt mine was the cleaner of the two which turned out to be correct. My wife had a different take on this and picked mine out correctly as being the more "watery" of the two.
In any event, it was like splitting hairs and if you didn't drink them side by side with a thinking cap on, you could sell this as zombie dust.
Skeezer - any thoughts for adjusting the body? Could this be a result of my mashing? I use Blichmann Boilermaker with the false bottom and have produced my fair share of 1st place beers.

I am Everyone and No One.
This isn't some high-paid, high school commercial.
Society keeps these secrets locked up.
Well it's 2 am and I should probably be sleeping, so...
I just wanted something that was batshit random and kinda funny if you're in the mood...not poetic, but you need some comic relief to realize you're not the worst comedian.
America's worst block, the devil's playground. West 84th Street, NY.
The field...the breeze...you're just eating me away.
I need to come up with better titles for my song/poems. Fml.
For every night you sit alone. For all the days you stare through. For all the sad songs. All the busted beats on cackling speakers. This is yours.
My last poetic goodbye.
My questions, in the form of a poem.
I wish I had died yesterday.

Sept. 11--10 years later
About 30 people joined University Chaplain John Walsh on the steps of the Memorial Chapel Sept. 11 to reflect on "the 17 minutes that changed the world."
From 5:46 to 6:03 a.m., candles were lit and Walsh told those in the crowd it was their time for silence and reflection, and welcomed them to comment and say names of those who were lost during the Sept. 11 attacks.
Students reflect on the events of Sept. 11.

The world that we live in today is very image-conscious and individuals are caring about their looks and their health more than ever before. Online websites such as Facebook and Twitter allow individuals the ability to upload images of themselves and their friends, so that the whole world can potentially see them. This level of publicity has had an impact on how individuals feel about themselves in terms of looks and health. The media has also had a big part to play in promoting how individuals should look and suggests through fashion, art and culture that beautiful people are often slim and have a good complexion.

Ease of Use
My diagnosis is microscopic colitis. This med worked for about 2 weeks, then my diarrhea returned. My doc prescribed using it 3x a day, but I found on several websites the prescribed amount is 2x a day. So on days I missed a 3rd dose, I didn't worry about it. But wonder if that is why my symptoms are returning, as I've been traveling extensively and typically only get 2 doses in, occasion ... Show Full Comment

Have been dealing with nausea, cramping, diarrhea for the last 5 years after my gallblader surgery. Finally my GI doctor prescribed this medication.

I dealt with chronic diarrhea for years after my gallbladder removal. All the doctors I saw told me I just had to deal with it.

How to Remove Rust from a Cast-Iron Skillet
By Heloise
Special Offers
QuestionHow do I clean a rusted iron skillet?
AnswerI have my mother's and grandmother's cast-iron skillets and love them--nothing's better for cooking corn bread. To restore yours, use a nonmetallic scrubber to remove the rust, wash with a mild dish soap, rinse well, and dry with a clean towel. Then re-season the surface by coating it (inside and out) with unsalted vegetable shortening. Put the greased skillet upside down on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool, and remove excess grease with a paper towel. To prevent rust, never soak cast iron in water, put it in the dishwasher, or scrub with metal scouring pads or harsh cleansers. Put a paper plate, paper towel, or round coffee filter between stored pans to absorb moisture.

May 18, 2011
The Chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority Board, Curt Pringle, signed a cooperative agreement with United Kingdom Trade & Investment to exchange high-speed rail planning, design and operations information.
The non-binding agreement initiates the exchange of information between California and the UK to "establish and develop a long-term cooperation in the field of high-speed rail transportation," according to the document.
The UK is home to the High Speed 1 (HS1) system (formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link), which is a 67‐mile rail line that carried train passengers from the UK to mainland Europe. Service is provided by four operators: Eurostar, First Capital Connect, East Midlands Trains and Southeastern Railway.
In November 2010, it was announced that two Canadian pension funds would purchase from the UK government a 30‐year concession to operate HS1.
The UK is currently planning its newest extension, "HS2," a high‐speed rail line that will initially link London and Birmingham, and later, to Manchester and Leeds.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority currently has partnerships with eight other countries for high-speed rail planning and cooperative information sharing, including South Korea, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain.
The Authority's international agreements have proven beneficial in gathering the world's experience related to high‐speed rail's benefits, feedback on proposed operations and maintenance plans and impact mitigation efforts.

The Dead Space franchise will continue to frighten gamers with its stunning sequel, Dead Space 2. Hero Isaac Clarke returns for another heart-pounding adventure, taking the fight to the Necromorphs in this thrilling action-horror experience. New tools to gruesomely slice and dismember the Necromorphs complement Isaac's signature Plasma Cutter, empowering him as he meets new characters, explores epic Zero-G environments, and fights against a relentless necromorph onslaught. Survival isn't the only thing on Isaac's mind in Dead Space 2 - this time, he calls the shots.
"Like so many gamers worldwide, we love the Dead Space franchise and are very excited to announce a new game in the series," said Nick Earl, Senior VP and Group General Manager at EA. "Visceral Games is quickly becoming known for delivering high-quality, action-packed games. Dead Space 2 is on target to deliver a jaw-dropping experience gamers won't soon forget."
"We're thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac's journey. The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of necromorphs that need killing!" said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. "In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you."
Originally launched in 2008, Dead Space quickly became one of EA's top rated wholly-owned intellectual properties. With close to 100 industry awards and an average critic score of 89*, Dead Space became a hit with horror and videogame fans worldwide. In 2009, EA launched Dead Space Extraction, a prequel to the original Dead Space that expanded the fiction and brought the franchise to a new audience base.

Music and words combine to honor veterans past and present
When Scott Wood plays "Echo Taps" on his bugle during the
annual Veterans Day Ceremony at the Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ, he admits he's thinking about the poignance of the holiday while focusing on getting his notes just right.
"It's both," he said before heading to the podium to play. "It makes you think."
Wood, who served in the Korean War as part of his U.S. Army service between 1962 and 1964, said he's honored to volunteer his time and bugling ability to add something special to the observance.
"This is a day to recognize and honor the past," he said, "and pay tribute to veterans past and present."
Several speakers, including Post Commander Marv Doty and Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle, shared their feelings about the day's true meaning in between performances from Wood and local musicians and singers. Soprano Anna Kazakova sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," while the Southridge High School choir performed "Good Night, Dear Heart," a poem Mark Twain left on his daughter's grave.
Larry Hill, vice commander of the American Legion of Oregon, encouraged the audience members who filled every pew and aisle space in the sanctuary to express appreciation for veterans' service especially if it appears he or she is in distress.
"It's up to us to ensure every veteran is appreciated," he said. "One of the easiest ways is to put an arm around them," and say, "'Thank you.' Let us always treat our veterans as the heroes that they are."
Emily O'Quinn, whose son, Robert, performed with the Southridge Choir, said the annual ceremony makes her think of her grandfather, who fought in both World War II and Korea.
"It's nice to remember him," she said. "It's a beautiful ceremony, and it's beautiful to see how we honor both those who have fallen and those still with us."Add a comment
