This did not concern me for a few brews but it seems to becoming the norm now (well 50%) . Normally 2 to 4 above (Typical FG is in the 1.012 range - Ambers)
I'm doing mini mashes and hitting my OG right on even though I feel the temp control has been a problem (will be oven fixed the next batch)
Would missing the mash temp (normally too high) cause my to have more unfermentable sugars in the wort? is this the problem? .
I've been surprised that the OG is right on but is the problem cropping up in the FG? or is there some hidden thing I'm missing.
I've been doing AHS Kits
Grinders Island Brewery - Pipeline
Bottled! Award winning East India Porter, Oatmeal Stout, Milk Stout, Saison fermenting at a nice controlled 85 degrees (up from 70) as it should be - weird isn't it.
I would say it is your mash temp. I do believe that a higher mash temp will lead to less fermentable sugars and thus you will end up with a higher FG.
Wait...i am getting a bit confused. Are you not fermenting enough or fermenting to much sugar out? Because if your gravity is higher than it should be then your attenuations is to low. Attenuation is the percentage of sugar that the yeasts fermements out of the wort i think. I could just be reading this wrong but it seems like you are not getting enough attenuation.
Primary 1-This Bud's for you
Primary 2- Cream Ale
Secondary 1- Strong Scotch Ale
Secondary 2- empty
Bottled/Kegged- Centinneal Blonde, Apfelwein
Up Next- MyCastle (N.English Brown Ale), Hooch Pale Ale
Thinking About: Tripple Bock, Chocolate Stout, open to suggestions"Every beer is a good beer if I can taste the brewer's intent"
-Jim Koch
Is this guy serious??:
I'm hitting my OG 1.050 but instead of FG being 1.010 it's 1.014ish. I was THINKING I would miss the OG but I'm blowing the FG. If this is true . . . . lesson learned!
You are correct - I did a . . . . double positive :-)
Not ENOUGH Attenuation.
So I'm getting sugars - just not the right ones! makes sense.
what kind of yeast? What kind of grains are you mashing? Higher temps=more dextrins, lower temps=more fermentables. Try mashing between 149-152F.
Has to be the mash temp - yeast starter - no probs there whatever yeast I'm instructed to use. White Labs now but it was Wyeast.
2-row - a mixture of base and specialty.
Electric stove - I'll be putting everything into the oven now at 152. Electric glass top seems to keep on heating for an extra 15 degrees.
If your mash temp is too high, you will produce longer chain sugars that do not ferment fully.
All things being equal, a higher mash temperature will end up with a higher FG than a lower mash temperature. It's one more item in the brewer's toolkit to affect body and residual sweetness in a beer.
So many pieces to the puzzle - it's why I love brewing so much!

Brewing this tomorrow. Sorry if this has been covered. I tried reading through and search but couldn't find what I wanted.
My brews have been coming out with a weird almost apple taste to it. I want to eliminate my water so I am going to use RO water. What kind of salts should I use? Using EZ spreadsheet, if I do 5.5 grams of CaCl2 I will get 50 ppm of Ca in my boil kettle. I also added 2 ounces of acid malt to bring the pH to 5.54. Does this sound ok?
I also want to try using sugar to carb instead of CO2. Beersmith says almost 2 ounces when I enter it all manually but the recipe I downloaded using Yooper's link it says to use 4 ounces. Which one should I use?
Edit: Went to my LHBS to get the ingredients. He tasted my Irish Red and agreed that it is most likely my water. He recommend I try spring water with some gypsum in it. I will be doing that with this batch to see how it comes out.
Brewed this today but didn't have the amber malt on hand and only wanted a little additional color so I added .4oz of debittered black patent malt. I love the color, kind of mahogany, but that was way too much of the black malt. Probably about .1oz or .2oz would have done the trick.
Still, it smelled fantastic. I mashed low (151F) and had slightly more than 5 gallons so my efficiency was hurt (1.054) but it won't matter if it tastes great. I have a feeling the Pacman yeast I got is going to take this thing down close to 1.0.
Thanks for a great recipe!
Brewed in 2014: Rye IPA, Honey Sage Ale, Belgian Golden Strong, California Common, Bavarian Style Lager, Weizen, Coffee Stout, Gruit, Gale Ale, Isle of Skye Golden clone, Oktoberfest, Rauchbier, Alpha Male IPA & Chocolate Pepper Stout.
Brewed the extract version of this recipe last night. I think everything went ok, though I am a novice (third batch ever) so I don't really know quite what to look for. OG was 1.062, and fermentation started after about 18 hours.
Two weird things that didn't happen with my 2 other brews. First - the wort was clear, but when I mixed it, it threw up all kind of sediment that settled back down in a matter of seconds. Not sure if this was because of the amount of hops I used, or maybe the break was different, but it certainly seemed different than the other ipa I brewed, which was a kit from my LHBS. The other weird thing that I didn't experience with my other brews was I tried to use a paint strainer bag to filter out the hops. I clipped the bag to the primary, and poured the cooled wort into the bag. I poured about half the wort into the bag, and the bag got so heavy that it ripped the clips off the side of the bucket. I held the bag up and it had about 5 pounds of sediment in it that just wasn't draining. I had to dump the bag into the primary, sediment and all, which I know won't really be a big issue since I plan on using a secondary anyway. But I thought it was odd that the bag didn't filter out the hops and instead clogged. Should I have poured the top-off water into the primary BEFORE I poured the wort in? Would that have diluted it, and thus allowed the paint strainer to do its job and not clog?
Did I ruin the thing?? Sorry if this is off-topic, but I figured since I brewed this beer it would be a good place to go for either 1) peace of mind, or 2) condolences.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3,019,116 CERAMIC BODY AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Lionel J. Doucette, Pittsfield, Mass., assignor to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York No Drawing. Filed Oct. 11, 1957, Ser. No. 689,471 3 Claims. (Cl. 106-46) The present invention relates to ceramic materials, and more particularly to a glass-bonded alumina ceramic body and an improved method of making the same.
Alumina (aluminum oxide) ceramic materials have found favor in the past because of their superior mechanical strength, excellent electrical properties and their relatively high resistance to heat and thermal shock. A difliculty encountered, however, in the manufacture of alumina ceramic materials is the relatively high temperature which must be attained to obtain maximum density in the semi-vitreous alumina body. Various types of fluxing materials such as clay have been added to the aluminum oxide in an attempt to lower the firing temperature, but these prior fluxes have not been found fully satisfactory for a number of reasons. For example, in many cases, they insuificiently lowered the vitrifying temperature, introduced undesirable impurities into the alumina composition, or caused the formation of bubbles or voids in the final fired product.
It is an object of the invention to provide a hard, dense, non-porous alumina ceramic body which can be formed at relatively low firing temperatures.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved process of making a glass-bonded alumina body of the above characteristics wherein lower temperatures and shorter firing time may be employed than heretofore used to provide alumina ceramic products of equivalent density and mechanical and electrical properties.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a means for more uniformly distributing colorant materials in alumina ceramic bodies.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description and the appended claims.
The above objects are attained in accordance with the invention by mixing aluminum oxide with a high alumina content glass frit, with or without the addition of small amounts of carbonates or oxides of barium, potassium and calcium, forming the mixture into desired shape, and firing the shaped material to provide a semi-vitreous, dense, non-porous mass. By semi-vitreous it is meant herein that the body is partly formed of glass.
By employing the teaching of the invention it is possible to produce a leak-tight ceramic of about 85% aluminum oxide at relatively low firing temperatures, e.g., about 1250 C., and a 95% aluminum oxide body below 1400 C. as compared to firing temperatures in the neighborhood of 1500 C. to 1700 C. normally employed in the past for making alumina bodies of similar composition and properties.
A significant feature of the present invention resides in introducing a glass frit of the particular composition more fully described hereinafter into the alumina component to serve as a vitreous matrix in which the alumina particles are bonded during the process of heating the mixture in the firing step. The high alumina content of the glass frit serves to increase the alumina content of the final fired ceramic body and initiates the vitrification of the mass at an early stage in the firing cycle. As a result, the firing time is shortened and the firing temperature lowered.
To make the ceramic material in accordance with the invention, there is provided a composition, in percent by weight, of the following ingredients in the ranges indicated:
bonate or oxide, and 0-3% of barium carbonate or oxide. The fiuxing materials are added to help reduce the firing temperature to which the mixture is subjected, and to otherwise facilitate the firing procedure.
The glass frit used in the above mixture is a high alumina content, highly weather-resistant, low thermal expansion glass having excellent electrical characteristics, a softening point of about 850 C., and high fluidity at 1200 C. The glass frit has the following approximate composition in percent by weight:
TABLE II Percent Silica 38.5-55 Alumina 15-25 Calcium oxide 8.5l7.5 Magnesium oxide 2.5-7.5 Boric oxide -25 The relatively high alumina and low silica content of this mixture produces a glass having increased resistance to thermal shock. The provision of alumina in the glass frit composition has been found to be of some advantage in making it possible to introduce part of the total alumina to the final mixture in an already fluxed condition.
The following are typical examples of glass frit compositions in percent by weight which may be used in the mixture set forth in Table 1:
The following are illustrative of the mixtures which may be used to make the glass-bonded alumina body of the present invention, the compositions being in percent by weight:
Example III Glass frit-alumina mixture: Percent Aluminum oxide 82.5 Glass frit (Example I) 11.5
Calcium om'de 5.0 Barium carbonate 0.5 Potassium carbonate 0.5
Example IV Glass frit-alumina mixture: Percent Aluminum oxide 86.0 Calcium carbonate 2.5 Potassium carbonate 1.0 Barium carbonate 1.0 Glass frit (Example II) 9.5
When several samples of the above mixtures were pressed to desired shape and then fired at 1285 C. for about 12 hours, hard, vacuum-tight, semi-vitreous ceramic bodies having an average specific gravity of 3.33 were obtained. Similar samples heated at the same temperature for about 17 hours produced ceramic bodies having an average specific gravity of 3.46.
Calcium carbonate 10.0 Barium carbonate 1.0 Potassium carbonate 1.0 Glass frit (Example I) 18.0
Example VII Glass frit-alumina mixture: Percent Aluminum oxide 70.0
Calcium carbonate 5.0 Barium carbonate 0.5 Potassium carbonate 0.5
Glass frit (Example I) 24.0
In the present invention, the preparation of the mixture to be fired is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the glass is made by known glass melting technique. The temperature of fusion should be at least as high as the firing temperature to which the ultimate mixture with alumina is subjected, this normally being about 1250 C. 350 C. After fusion the glass is fritted and ball milled for a period of time to provide a glass powder (hit) of about 200 mesh size. The glass powder is then filtered and dried. Where colored ceramics are desired, the colorant material is added to the glass mixture before fusion.
In the second step, aluminum oxide and the additional fluxing materials, such as the carbonates or oxides of barium, potassium and calcium, are then added to the frit prepared as above, and this mixture is ball milled to produce a mass of particles having the size of 200 to 325 mesh. This mixture is then pressed and formed into desired shape in accordance with known ceramic forming techniques.
Thereafter the formed mass is subjected to a firing temperature of about 1250 C. to 1350 C. for a number of hours. As the temperature rises, the vitreous matrix begins to soften and bonds the alumina crystals forming a uniform mass of alumina crystals suspended in the glassy matrix. Upon cooling, this mass forms a hard, dense vacuum-tight body.
It has been found that in order to obtain such a hard, dense semi-vitreous ceramic body having over 85% corundum crystals at the reduced heating periods and temperatures in accordance with the invention, it is necessary to introduce a bonding component in the form of a glass frit as described above. When the raw materials of the glass bonding component were directly added to and mixed with the aluminum oxide and this mixture fired for the same period and temperature, the resulting product was a soft, porous body having very poor strength.
A particular advantage of this invention resides in the characteristic of the specified glass frit which when finely divided and uniformly distributed throughout the unfired ceramic mass will, when brought to the preferred firing range, rapidly fuse the alumina crystals to a homogeneous, dense, semi-vitreous ceramic body which after cooling exhibits a deformation temperature appreciably higher than the fusion temperature of the original glass.
A further noteworthy feature of the invention is the discovery that the coloration of alumina ceramic bodies can be very easily controlled and distributed homogeneously if the desired colorants are added to the glass raw materials in making the glass frit. In past methods wherein colorants were added directly to the alumina before the firing step, spotty and irregular coloration frequently resulted in spite of apparently thorough mixture of the ingredients.
The following is an example of a glass frit composition containing a blue colorant material, which is illustrative of this aspect of the present invention.
Boric oxide 14.8 Cobalt oxide 0.5
Instead of the cobalt oxide, other siutable colorant materials may be used, e.g., the oxides of uranium, nickel, manganese, cerium and other known coloring substances.
The alumina ceramic material provided in accordance with the invention may be used for a variety of purposes and products, among which are electrical and thermal insulators, crucibles, refractory linings, and other articles subject to severe electrical or thermal conditions.
While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments thereof, it will be understood that numerous modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without actually departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to cover all such equivalent variations as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
l. A dense, non-porous glass-bonded alumina ceramic body formed by firing at a temperature of about 1250- 1350 C. a mixture having the following approximate composition in percent by weight:

Additional resources are needed to support 22,400 people suffering prolonged displacement in Zamboanga.
Armed clashes on 14 November in Pikit, North Cotabato, displace more than 4,700 people.
Over 43,300 evacuees return home while the Alert Level 3 is retained for the Mayon Volcano.
Military operations against the Abu Sayyaf Group in Basilan and Sulu displace at least 1,700 people.
Aid organizations are increasingly recognizing and prioritizing communication as a form of assistance – one as important as water, food and shelter. Without access to information, disaster survivors cannot access the help they need or make informed decisions about their recovery. These are just some of the main findings of a new report published today about the response of the UN and its partners to November 2013's devastating Typhoon Haiyan.
Five people were killed and 54 others injured after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in China's Sichuan Province on 22 Nov, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center. A total of 25,000 houses were damaged, affecting about 79,500 people and forcing 6,200 to relocate, according to local authorities. Among the 43 injured, six were in critical condition and another five suffering severe injuries. Eleven medical teams have reached the quake zone, and nearly 10,000 medical and epidemic prevention personnel joined the rescue efforts.
After nine months of response in close partnership with national authorities, significant progress has been made in meeting the needs of vulnerable people affected by last November's Typhoon Haiyan (locally-known as Yolanda). Of the 45 indicators tracked in the third and final Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR), 30 show achievements of greater than 50 per cent, and 15 of these indicators have reached or surpassed the targets established in the Haiyan Strategic Response Plan (SRP).
Continued heavy rains caused more flooding and landslides across Indonesia. Flooding has killed one person and damaged 30 houses in West Sumatra Province and inundated 372 houses in Riau Province. In West Java Province, a landslide injured three people and flash floods from the Cisangli River inundated approximately 220 houses, affecting 1,200 people.
Flooding affected over 53,000 people in Aceh Barat Daya and Aceh Jaya Districts.
Communication is a form of humanitarian assistance that is as important as water, food and shelter. Without access to information, disaster survivors cannot access the help they need, make informed decisions or be effective leaders in their own recovery. In the aftermath of a disaster, survival for the most vulnerable people depends on knowing the answers to questions such as:
Where can I find safe drinking water, food or shelter?
Where can I go for medical attention?
Where are my family and friends?
(Manila, 6 November 2014)
Marking the first anniversary of super Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda) the Humanitarian Country Team and the United Nations Country Team and their partners in the Philippines take the opportunity to remember all those who lost their lives and to acknowledge the extraordinary resilience of the Filipino people.
The public is using Twitter for real-time information exchange and for expressing emotional support during a variety of crises, such as wildfires, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, political protests, mass shootings, and communicable-disease tracking.31 By encouraging proactive standardization of hashtags, emergency responders may be able to reduce a big-data challenge and better leverage crowdsourced information for operational planning and response.
This update seeks to support growth in innovative policy, practice and partnerships in humanitarian action to better communicate with disaster-affected communities. Readers are encouraged to forward this email through their own networks.
8 November marks the one-year commemoration of Typhoon Haiyan that devastated central Philippines in 2013.

Arcade Fire frontman William Butler is heading back to university to give a lecture to students. The rocker will appear at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois on November 2 to give a talk about how he has merged his musical career with social activism, according to student website NorthByNorthwestern.com.
Butler, who majored in poetry and creative writing, and his bandmates have raised $1 million to help earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Asha Toulmin, a student fellow with the university's Center for Civic Engagement, says, "He's a really unique and interesting individual because he's taken a field like music that a lot of people don't necessarily associate with social activism..."

Black bear no match for 2 English bulldogs in Bow
On May 1, she was next door telling a neighbor that it was time to take down the bird feeders when she saw that Brutus was back.
Lola and Comma, her bulldogs, crashed through the farmer's porch that overlooks the back yard. The pair, who together weigh about 90 pounds, confronted the bear, who rose to full height on his hind legs.
While the actual bear incident was happening, she said, "It wasn't fun. It was really upsetting."
She thinks it's a reflection of how much people love dogs and wildlife: "It's nature voyeurism."
Plus, the story had a happy ending. "I want people to understand that my blessing is that the bear exercised some compassion and walked away," she said.
But she said, "These dogs don't move. They walk to the mailbox and they're done."

Essence • get big lashes volume boost mascara • Mascara

This review is actually for the Essence Get Big Lashes Volume Curl Mascara (I couldn't find it on the site).
Seriously...Holy S**t! I bought this today because I figured for $3.99 CAD I couldn't really go wrong. If it sucks, I haven't burnt a hole in my pocket. If it's great then I've just saved myself $9 on my mascara purchase. Well...let me tell you that I am completely shocked! This stuff is golden! The formula is just wet enough that it's got incredible colour payoff, yet tack enough that it's not goopy or clumpy. I put on two coats, and have absolutely no clumping whatsoever. It does exactly what it claims to do...build volume and curl PLUS...it also lengthens. The bristles are so tightly packed in the curved synthetic brush, that they grab the lashes from the root and give the ability to wiggle back and forth while applying the product (in my opinion, this is the best way to apply mascara to get volume and coverage).
I'm pretty sure, I've just found my new favorite mascara and I don't have to spend more that $4...what more could a girl ask for!

What a steal! One of the best or the best mascara I've ever tried and it's from Essence! For 3 Swiss Francs! Someone recently posted a review on this and, I laughed. So for a few coins, of course I would try this! I expected clumpy, dry, rock hard, droopy lashes, with lots of irritation. I bought this, applied on bare lashes(also curled) the Results: LONG, thickened, black lashes with hardly any clumps. Impressive!!!! But how do they fair throughout the day?! They stayed, curl and all. Can also be layered which many mascars cannot hold up to. I am a snob when it comes to makeup and I do prefer high end. I will never choose high end mascaras ever, especially after this one. The packaging is cute and kitchy and that doesn't bother me. Give this a chance! Really and very impressed!

I like the applicator brush on this mascara, I usually prefer rubber applicators but this one is really nice and works great for evenly applying product on my lashes. It's great for adding volume, but does nothing for length what so ever. Stays on all day, does not smudge or flake on me and it's a matte black finish. Holds a curl.

Just to clarify - this is for the WATERPROOF version. The blue tube ;)
I have stupid eyelashes. They are short, and stupid, and I hate them. I don't have any problems with volume, because I've got a heap of 'em, but many mascaras couldn't hold a damn curl if their lives depended on it, and I'm used to looking like I have NONE.
This stuff holds a MAD curl. You can actually SEE my eyelashes. They are defined and lovely - and the stuff is like $4, sheer insanity.
However - I'm quite the drama queen. I like having super dark lashes, and this does clump a bit when it's layered too much. So what I often do, is use this stuff as a base coat, and go over it with another mascara that is as black as my soul.
Voila - big, black lashes. You're welcome.

I did not like this mascara, because it flaked a lot on me. When I bought it, I was expecting it would give a lot of volume to my lashes, but I only got to use it three times, because it flaked so badly. Before buying it, note that the brush is really big. The tube is really big, you get 12 ml/0.40 fl. oz. for 3-4 euros.

Gotta give credit where it's due and essence deserves it! for being pretty cheap pricewise, they have a nice and decent line of cosmetics. I love their eye shadow pans and was in need of a waterproof mascara for my days where I wear contact lenses, since I use rewetting drops throughout the day. I usually wear bare escentuals flawless definition waterproof mascara. But it is a little pricey, especially when waterproof mascaras tend to dry out much faster than regular formulas no matter how much you try to preserve them. They say to switch mascaras every 3-6 months and I believe with waterproof mascaras you'd be lucky to pass the 3 month mark without starting to get clumps from the tube drying out. As I had stated earlier, I am a fan of some other cosmetics of theirs so I decided to give this mascara a try. I had just tossed a tube of my bare minerals and didn't feel like spending $20 bucks for a tube. I stumbled across this product at ulta and bought it for a mere $3-4. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It gave my lashes nice volume that was a little more than natural. Just the right amount of oomph. Nothing like having eyelash extensions or anything, but I liked that it gave a wide eyed look that was more than just a natural look. It went on nice, not too wet and not too dry in my experience. It lengthened decently with lots of volume like I said earlier. It withstood the sweat and tears from my rewetting drops and at the end of the day also washed off pretty easily so for the price paid I would say its very much worth it if you're looking for a decent waterproof mascara on the cheap. Only cons? Being an oversized brush the wand does tend to pick up a little more product than needed, but if u dab the excess with a tissue beforehand you'll be fine. Another con? it dried out rather quickly in the tube but I do believe its because it is a waterproof formula so they're all prone to doing that overtime. and the tube although cute was rather chunky so it was a bit bulky to take along in my makeup bag. Hence why I gave it 3 lippies and not 4, but Aside from that bottom line, I would consider repurchasing and recommending this product

My usual mascara is either Avon Supershock or Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume. While shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart one day, I remembered reading about the Essence Mascara on Makeup Alley, so thought I would give it a try given the price!
I like this mascara! It is quite 'wet' as other individuals have mentioned, so the key is to take it slow and not rush your layers. I find if I comb out my lashes, when they are almost dry between layers, helps a great deal. It has a very full brush, unlike some of the sparse plastic models some mascara contain. I could see that being a problem, if one is not use to a brush that holds a lot of mascara.
*Tip* - I always wipe my brush on a clean paper towel prior to applying. Do Not use a tissue or bathroom tissue, as those leave fibers. It helps eliminate the mascara being too wet and causing clumps. I learned this from an episode of Oprah, that featured Cindy Crawford..have been doing this for years! *
I am used to the full brushes with the Supershock, so do not find it an issue. I also have not experienced any flaking, but there again, combing through may help as well. For the price, this is definitely a keeper for me!

Such a good mascara if you don't have much volume to your lashes already. So black, makes my lashes look so full and long! Only problem is it's difficult to build up without looking too much, maybe thats just me though haha overall such a good mascara

Orlando Couple Takes PDA To The Extreme By Having Sex In Public Restaurant [VIDEO]

What has become of America? Now two madly in love young kids can't show a little passion in public? Shame on you squares for calling the police!
We know not all junk is created equally, but we have our fellow lady friends to thank for creating a "good" and "bad" standard-- the big italian sausage versus the cocktail weenie. It's tough enough being a guy, and having subpar manhood is just grounds for living a life akin to Rainy Day Randy's. But over in Denmark, small packages are finally snagging the spotlight, if only briefly.
While many of you are probably saying - with a bit of sarcasm - wow that's real surprising. However, despite being a sexy good time, the Adult industry tests pretty often. This could see it shutdown for a little while.
Nadya Suleman's new softcore porn video 'Home Alone' has been released to the masses — and the reviews are in. But since it's not exactly the sort of movie Roger Ebert writes about, who better to weigh in on Octomom's film debut than other "industry professionals"?
As many of you know, porn superstar Sara Jay presented an opportunity for her twitter followers to get dirty with her if the Miami Heat won the NBA championship. They won, and now she has to pay up.
Our favorite mother of fourteen kids, Nadya Suleman otherwise known as Octomom has her famous adult masturbation film coming out tomorrow and we got a sneak peek for you. Wicked Pictures presents 'Octomom: Home Alone'. Don't be the only dude left in the office who hasn't seen this video trailer. We know that you want to see.
Finally there's a way for me to sit down and enjoy some nice pornography while my nephew is in the room. It's a little less sexy than "Nemo" but way more entertaining.
This just might be the best video on YouTube right now. Well at least it's a close 2nd to Chocolate rain. Rate this video from "1" to "I just Sticky Peed My self".
Houses doubling as locations for porn shoots is common in the Los Angeles area. While it's likely good money to rent out your crib, it leaves a mess. Nevertheless, on the other side of the country, a piece of porn history is for sale in the form of the house that was used in 'Deep Throat.'
There's something strangely admirable about the fact that Octomom Nadya Suleman has resorted to doing porn to feed her brood of 14. It's also ironic that Suleman conceived her kids via in vitro fertilization, as opposed to the old-fashioned way, and now she is banging out to support them. That said, the new "starlet" arrived on set last week and was apparently a consummate professional.
Hurray, now the question "what does a vagina look like after it pushes 8 watermelon shaped babies out?" will finally be answered.

BRAZIL BEAT: Colombia, Uruguay fans start talk - 0 Comments
SAO PAULO — In the streets of Sao Paulo, Colombians and Uruguayans were already facing off with each other, exchanging chants after Colombia beat Japan 4-1. Uruguay's victory over Italy meant the two teams will meet Saturday in the knockout round.
They were fighting for attention from local media's cameras set up in Vila Madalena, the city's World Cup party central. Colombians were shouting "Ole, ole," and a Uruguayan displayed his country's flag behind the group.
"Tell us what you predict the score will be on Saturday," one Colombian asked an Urugayan.

You've heard the great promise of business intelligence: data visualization will completely change the way you think about your business. We strive for those life-altering "aha" moments that completely shift the way we think, and help move us forward in a way we just couldn't before due to a lack of knowledge, clarity or inspiration. But how can data visualization promise to give us more of those moments?
Data visualization, the graphical representation of data and information, can help you discover trends, patterns and correlations in your businesses that might otherwise go unseen. It makes meaningful insights easier to spot, epiphanies more common to come by, and helps you create a business story that you can use as a springboard for smart change and success.
Seeing with Kaleidoscope Eyes
Taking large amounts of data and putting it into a business analysis system is like taking a measuring stick to your business - you will start seeing with clearer, richer eyes, simplifying otherwise complex data, mapping correlations, and detecting trends. Organizing your data visually this way will give you an overall picture of your business procedures and let you drill down into specific areas of interest to explore deeper. Data visualization comes with core benefits that will help tell a story about your business:
- Gain a business strategy based on numbers. Track sales, number of units sold, followers, site visits and compare data week over week, or quarter by quarter (see Example 1).
- Insight into your target market. Analyze your customer's survey data, website behavior, or demographics to glean who they are, their occupations, gender, location, hours of activity, etc. (see Example 2).
- Make users a part of your story. By helping users understand the benefit of your solution, you encourage them to tell you what they need most from your business (see Example 3).
- Know what's trendy. Detect and capitalize on trends and outliers that you can't readily identify in spreadsheets to pinpoint what's influencing business success or failure.
Real People, Real "Aha Moments"
The list of core benefits that helps businesses build a story is general, but here are some specific examples of companies that used data visualization to tell a story - or understand their story - thereby transforming what they do and how they do it.
Example 1: Know Your Numbers from Every Angle
Alpharooms.com is one of the UK and Ireland's leading websites for discount worldwide travel with one million annual customers accessing hotel rooms in more than 250,000 hotels in 40,000 destinations worldwide. The company needed to track web behaviors, email marketing activity, booking patterns, and their finances - and he needed it in real time to be able to change prices and availability as quick as possible to maximize their services. Alpharooms.com uses a dashboard visualization software to build reports and dashboards that analyze booking activity from every angle. With efficient reporting around each type of booking (hotel, flight, car, etc.), they can now directly approach hotels for which they have enough bookings to avoid the extra cost of going through wholesalers.
Other uses of the software include analyzing website usage patterns, optimizing email marketing campaign performance, optimizing purchasing strategies, tracking call center performance and conversions by rep and running reports on all customer activity by search keywords, travel destination, common packages and so forth.
Example 2: See Where Your Target Audience Lives. Literally
The New York Times has jumped on board with data visualization and created an interactive, incredibly thorough census maps that shows the demographics of every block and city in America based on race and ethnicity, income, education, and housing and families. Plug in your business and these demographics let you truly know your market segment so you can build the best business plan possible.
Discover if a target population is wealthy enough or educated enough to be interested in your product (or just the opposite) before you move forward. By researching and understanding the demographics of a particular population, business owners can successfully establish a business model and plan, expand a product line, or outcompete their competitors.
Example 3: Encourage Users to Visualize Themselves as Part of Your Story
Just through data visualization you can enable users to envision themselves as part of your story and thereby show you how they best fit with your product - telling you their own story about your company as they go. The BCG and World Economic Forum encouraged users to estimate the value of a specific solution to their business - instituting an employee wellness program - via an interactive graph. Executives could quickly calculate how much their specific companies could save by investing in such an employee wellness program (based on the statistical data of other companies' wellness programs).
By letting prospective customers determine the economic benefits they could harvest if they instituted the program, these companies literally saw themselves as a part of the story that the BCG and World Economic Forum were trying to push. Those who bought based on participating in the interactive graph in turn gave BCG and World Economic Forum information about their users and became an invaluable sales tool for the business. It was such a great success that another partner company also uses this graph as a sales tool for visualizing similar saving opportunities.
Collaboration Always Means a Better, Richer Story
Sharing your data visualization, which many dashboard visualization tools make easy via web-based dashboards, allows your colleagues or audience to fill in details or even add their own narrative. Every department in a company can build upon the data visualization story by contributing data or drilling down into a specific segment and highlighting an aspect that is unique to them. In this way, interactive graphics encourage people to participate in the storytelling by adding layers of data and insights - giving your BI tale the ability to view data from different perspectives for a richer understanding of your business.
The Future of Data Visualization: Reaching What No One Knows
We're already at a place where we can use data visualization to make people understand what they didn't understand. The next step seems to be to allow people to understand what no one has understood before. When Pek Lum, a researcher at Merck & Co., took The Netherlands Cancer Institute's 12-year-old data set on breast cancer and visualized the dataset with the use of topological data analysis, she was able to identify an unknown subgroup of cancer survivors - a small step forward to finding a cure for cancer.
Together with the massive amount of data accessible (and accumulating), the collaboration of many individuals who have different goals and backgrounds, and advanced business intelligence and dashboard software tools available on the market today - people are starting to uncover insights that no one could reach before.
Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA).

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...
