Georgetown, Guyana – Opener Lendl Simmons stroked his ninth first-class century as Trinidad and Tobago took command of their final round match in the WICB First Class Championship against Guyana on Friday.
The 26-year-old right-hander hit a fluent 134 not out as he propelled the visitors to 291-4 at the close of the opening day at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.
Dhaka, Bangladesh – New Zealand pulled off a major upset as they beat South Africa on Friday by knocking the form team out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals.
South Africa have now lost all five of their knockout matches since they first played at the tournament in 1992 while underdogs New Zealand advanced to the semi-finals for the sixth time.
Ahmedabad, India – India sparked wild celebrations among its billion plus fans after ending Australia's remarkable 12-year reign as World Cup champions with a thrilling five-wicket win in the quarter-finals.
Chasing 261 for victory, India fumbled and faltered but half-centuries from Sachin Tendulkar (53), Gautam Gambhir (50) and Yuvraj Singh (57 not out) eventually helped them to overwhelm the target with 14 balls to spare and set up a much-anticipated semi-final with Pakistan.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Chris Woakes battered Jamaica's inexperienced bowling attack into submission with a stroke-filled hundred for the England Lions in the WICB Regional first-class championship on Thursday. Woakes, batting at eight, was undefeated on 104 – his third first-class hundred – to lead the Lions to 340 for nine in their first innings at the close on the opening day of their seventh round match at Sabina Park.
Kingston, Jamaica – Jamaica's plans to overcome the England Lions in the final round of the WICB Regional first-class championship, starting on Thursday at Sabina Park, have hit a snag.
The national selection panel has had to reconstruct the entire bowling attack, following a spate of injuries that hit the squad during and after last weekend's match against Trinidad & Tobago.
Jerome Taylor, as well as fellow fast bowler Andrew Richardson, all-rounder Dave Bernard, and leg-spinner Odean Brown are all unavailable due to injury.

Professional pet sitters need to understand the nuances of pet behavior, but most of all, they have to expect — and accommodate — some rather unusual owner requests.
What's the wackiest thing that you've ever done for a pet?
We posed this very question to professionals attending the recent Pet Sitters International conference in Austin, Texas. From freezing poop to looking after lobsters, these sitters have some amazing anecdotes to share.
Catherine Oakley of Power Pet Sitters in Atlanta, Ga., recalls accommodating a client with seven cats — and each kitty needed to eat in a specific location. "One cat, in particular, had to be served at the dining room table," Oakley says. "They all knew exactly where they were supposed to eat."
This car-centric tale comes from Robin Cara of All Ears Pet Sitting in St. Johns, Fla.: "My client had me drive her two dogs around the neighborhood every day — and I had to use her car. Hey, it made her happy, and it made her dogs happy, so I was happy."
As part of her Big Paws Pet Care in Jersey City, N.J., Judy Kosky has masterfully cared for exotic birds, eels . . . and one ailing piranha. "His owners were going to be gone for a while, and they weren't sure if he would make it until they got back," Kosky says. "I was instructed to pack and store him in the freezer should he pass away. Fortunately, he did survive while under our care."
Mark Phillips / Alamy
"We had a nice, older lady with a cat," recalls Shannon Pingitore, who operates Carolina Pet Care Services in Fayetteville, N.C., with Teresa Blackwell. "She had specific instructions on how to clean the litterbox. We were to scoop, double bag the contents into zip-locked bags and then put them into her freezer. She didn't want her trash to smell, so we were to freeze everything — poop, urine litter clumps — and if the cat got sick, we were to freeze that, too. On trash day, we could throw it all away."
Here's a curious crustacean tale from Cheryl Wilson of TLK Professional Pet Care Services in Watertown, Mass.: "One of my clients had a girl in grade school who had a school project to take care of baby lobsters about the size of crawfish. They were named Grumpy, Princess, Fifi and there might have even been a Louie the lobster. My duties were to feed each one and mark in a journal for the girl if they pooped or molted. A week after the job, I received a note from the girl, thanking me for keeping her journal. She got an A for her class project."
Kathy DeVan of Carolina Comfort Pet Sitting in Sumter, S.C., obediently follows the feeding instructions that she was given for a Maltipoo. "Our client wants us to mix the dog's dry and wet food and then heat it for 12 seconds," she says. "We then place the food bowl on the bed in the master bedroom and put the dog on the bed. We then lie on our stomachs on the bed a little away from the bowl and turn on the TV. We are not allowed to look at the dog while he's eating. It seems to work, and the dog eats. Our job is to make our clients happy."

Galax Tourism Director Chuck Riedhammer has decided to resign, effective March 3, to accept a position with the Southwest Virginia Cultural Heritage Commission, a new initiative headed up by Sen. William Wampler.
The commission encourages the economic development of Southwest Virginia through the expansion of cultural heritage ventures and tourism efforts, such as the Southwest Virginia Artisan Center, the Crooked Road and 'Round The Mountain, and venues that promote entrepreneurial and employment opportunities.
HILLSVILLE — Attorneys for Carroll County and Hillsville continue to gird up for a three-day civil trial to finally settle a seven-year-old utilities billing disagreement.
After Hillsville sought payment for water and sewer services to the Interstate 77 area in 2003, Carroll County declined.
Hillsville appealed the matter to Carroll County Circuit Court, and Carroll County responded with a counterclaim, saying that the town had been over-billing the county for service for years.
HILLSVILLE — If life gives you extra broccoli, then why not use the Carroll County cannery to make broccoli soup, Judy Dalton asks.
All the ingredients to do more with the cannery already exist, notes the Laurel Fork resident and long-time user. Carroll County has a bounty of locally grown food and processing facilities, so the potential is there.
SALEM -- A little more than 10 years ago, Galax High School hosted a wrestling clinic, introducing to anyone interested in it the new sport that the school was offering.
SALEM -- Carroll County, Grayson County and Galax combined to send 14 wrestlers to the Group A and AA state tournaments, held concurrently on eight mats at the Salem Civic Center.
BUENA VISTA -- Hustle and defense never go through a shooting slump, and they don't have an off night. They are either there, or they're not. Both were there for Galax on Tuesday.
Galax entered the Region C Division 1 basketball tournament having lost four of its previous eight games. The Maroon Tide played its region opener like it realized .500 teams don't last very long at this point in the season. Dominating the second and fourth quarters, Galax rolled into tonight's region semifinals with a thorough 54-37 drubbing Wednesday of Covington.
Blue Ridge Parkway officials announced the temporary closing of most sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway on Tuesday due to heavy snowfall along the entire length of the parkway.
Travel is not advisable on the recreational road.
Although parkway staff is working to open sections of the road with available equipment, many sections have enough snowfall to cause delays in reopening.
The temporary closure is necessary for the safety of visitors and parkway staff and is in effect "during the current period of inclement weather," the parkway said.
WILMINGTON, N.C. ee* A senior official with AmerLink log home manufacturing pleaded guilty Feb. 1 to committing bankruptcy fraud, apparently in an effort to keep the company on track for reorganization instead of a liquidation, according to a press release from a U.S. District Attorney's Office.
HILLSVILLE — Financial analysts believe there's a way for Carroll schools to finish and pay for its facility improvement program without raising taxes, but time to take advantage of potential savings will run out by the end of the year.
Federal Recovery Act measures — like the government helping localities pay more than a third of the interest on Build America Bonds — will change in 2011, according to a presentation to the Carroll School Board Tuesday by Joe Niggel of Southwest Securities and Brent Jeffcoat of McGuire Woods.

How influential is Richard Quitevis, aka Qbert, as a turntablist? Well, he's often credited with inventing the term -- an important and necessary accomplishment, because the old lexicon didn't contain words that adequately described his distinctive brand of artistry. As a key member of the Invisbl Skratch Piklz, a groundbreaking California crew that also included the equally skilled Mixmaster Mike, Quitevis understood that hip-hop DJs did more than make wicky-wicky sounds between raps. Through highly visual performances that helped the Piklz win three consecutive Disco Mixing Club World Championships during the '90s, he put the lie to the fiction that neither skill nor musicality was required to succeed in his chosen genre. To date, QBert's studio work hasn't been widely heard; arguably the most high-profile CDs to feature him were a pair of Dr. Octagon releases issued way back in 1996. Yet he's a terrific live presence, as his current tour, which teams him with Grandwizzard Theodore, DJ Flare and DJ Jumi, should prove. Long after the show is over, collaborators and attendees alike will undoubtedly be spinning under his influence.

About John Goins
Twelve years ago, some friends let us stay in their Palm Springs house for a long weekend. We fell in love with the city and the area! Now we have our own place and we want to share the Palm Springs experience with others. Our spirit soars every time we come to town! We hope yours will too.
John Goins purchased this house in 2012
Why John Goins chose Palm Springs
The view rocks! So does the location. We enjoy sunning by the pool, taking in the view of the mountains. We can ride bikes to the grocery store or Koffi or take a long walk through the neighborhood to the Art District. Look for the Big Dipper right above you when lounging by the pool at night.
What makes this house unique
Enjoy the Chrysalis-style. We wanted the house to have that Palm Springs vibe and we still get excited whenever we arrive. It's the perfect get-away: comfortable, stylish and care-free.
There is a secret compartment at Chrysalis. See if you can find it.

Inter appoint Leonardo
Inter Milan have confirmed Leonardo as Rafael Benitez's replacement, giving the Brazilian a one-and-a-half-year contract as their new manager.
Speculation had linked the former AC Milan coach with the position even before Benitez officially parted company with the European champions, and the Nerazzurri have now officially confirmed his appointment. The 41-year-old, who had one season in charge of Milan during the 2009/10 campaign, will officially start work with the Serie A champions on Wednesday.
A statement on the club's official website, www.inter.it, read: "Welcome to Leonardo. It will be the Brazilian coach to lead the team from December 29."

supermarket picks
- d
- DietStartsTomorrow Oct 14, 2008 08:53 AM
After reading recent posts about the Lidl lasagne and the Waitrose crisps, just wondered what other supermarket must-haves (or guilty secrets) fellow Chounders recommend. I'm a big fan of the M&S ricotta and lemon cheesecake myself and on a recent trip to Aldi enjoyed its brie with peppercorns.
re: Nii
I fully agree with you on the Waitrose Black Treacle Bacon - its absolutely fantastic!!! I also have to admit to having turned my back on Heinz Beans (or Beanz as they now insist on calling them) and buying Waitrose own brand instead as they seem to be less watered down. Other fave meat products include Porkinson Bangers.
I'm battling with an addiction to Asda Jalapeno Houmous at the moment - its really spicy and tasty!
And if we're talking about M&S my addiction to Percy Pigs continues!
Great thread! Looking forward to reading other people's recs.
Not all are supermarket branded, but my must-buys at the supermarket include Weetabix Crunchy Bran (have only found it centrally at the Bloomsbury Waitrose), Sainsburys Mature Canadian Cheddar, Cadbury's low-cal hot chocolate in Dark Chocolate and, to a lesser extent, Fudge (have only found it centrally at Morrison's Chalk Farm), Muller Light yogurts (especially cranberry-raspberry, orange, blackcurrant, limited edition lemon-passionfruit), M&S Count on Us rhubarb yogurt, and Waitrose rotisserie chicken Maple BBQ flavour - but best eaten right away.
re: peelmeagrape
I'm very fond of Lidl's German frankfurters and am a real fan of Sainsbury's Dark Belgian Chocolate bars. They melt in the mouth. Lately, I've been buying a round, Spanish tapas potato cake in Sainsbury's - easy to fry and delicious. I should add that the Waitrose Cucumber crisps were a bit disappointing... maybe I'll try the Worcestershire ones and like those better. Tesco makes a delicious marscapone macaroni and cheese but I've given that up because of the high calories! I'm addicted to Carr's new cheese nibbles crackers.
Waitrose Lamb Shanks in redcurrant/rosemary etc. are lovely, as is their Mousaka. Ready meals are a rarity in our household, but these two are great, and not too pricey.
That sounds really piggy, so I will now go and write out: "Before noon I will eat fruit only" 100 times.
Ooh great thread! Definitely going to bookmark this one (and try that Waitrose bacon - Waitrose being my favourite supermarket so let's hear other picks from there).
The Waitrose creme fraiche is good, as are their baguettes (Whole Foods had horrible baguettes). I've bought some of their stocks but have yet to use them so will report back.
M&S rocky road icecream is a bit too good - I ate 3/4 of a tub in one sitting. Small marshmallows, gooey sauce and a yummy chocolate icecream.
I've been really enjoying the M&S 2 dine for £10 promotion.
Last week I got a chicken, tray of roasted veg, and a hot chocolate pudding. All of them were so lovely that I went back for the beef caserole with dumplings and the sticky toffee pudding which was also very good. Given that you also get a reasonable bottle of wine, it is a great deal when I don't want to cook.
re: greedygirl
M&S beef stock concentrate is also good - it has a bit of body to it. I also like their balsamic vinegar.
Taverna Hummus from Netto is really nice.
Sainsburys french mayonnaise is really good, even the low-fat stuff is better than most supermarket mayo - properly eggy and wobbly. They also seem to be the only supermarket that consistently have skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets, which are invaluable for curries and casseroles, and I like their Sicilian style sausages. Waitrose dijon mustard is really nice, and has overtaken Maille as my favourite. Lidl do great Nuremberg wurst (the little chipolata like ones) and used to do big blocks of Black Forest ham for slicing, but I haven't seen that recently. Their hot-smoked trout fillets are also really nice and very cheap, and you can usually get decent German weissbier, but I found their rooibos tea really lacking in flavour.
re: babybat
I second your Sainsbury's boneless chicken thighs tip. I was so happy to find them there... but I bought some last week in Waitrose. The organic was very expensive, so we got the low-price spread instead. (American expression) I use it in a Spanish dish with chorizo. I'll check out that Sainsbury mayo.
re: babybat
Aldi usually have Schofferhofer Weissbier which is one of my favourites and ocasionally on offer for 99p!
Has anyone tried the Aldi/Lidl versions of Baileys -they're about half the price and I'm just wondering should I get my Xmas bottle from one of the cheaper stores this year or stick with what I love?

Afghanistan: US hands over controversial Bagram jail
The US military has handed control of a controversial prison housing more than 3,000 Taliban fighters and terrorism suspects to the Afghan authorities.
In a small ceremony, Afghan officials said inmates had been transferred to their authority.
The move is part of a deal to transfer all Afghan prisons back to local control ahead of the withdrawal of Nato forces at the end of 2014.
Bagram prison has been at the centre of a number of prisoner abuse allegations.
Although Afghan President Hamid Karzai has hailed the handover, disagreements with the US remain.
Washington is insisting that it will maintain control over some detainees in the prison.
Meanwhile, a new report suggests that some Taliban are open to a general ceasefire or political agreement allowing for a continuing US military presence after 2014.'Glorious ceremony'
The handover took place at a brief ceremony which correspondents say was poorly attended by US and Nato officers.
For President Karzai, the handover of Parwan detention facility is a matter of sovereignty.
But for the Americans there are issues of trust. Even as the official handover ceremony takes place, there are still deep divisions. At the crux of the disagreement is the US insistence that it retains the right to arrest and hold prisoners caught "on the battlefield".
While about 3,000 prisoners have already been transferred, the US is still believed to be holding on to hundreds of others and around 50 nationals from "third countries", such as Pakistan. Among US concerns are what would happen to "high-value detainees" once handed over to the Afghans - could they be released?
But human rights groups and some Afghans are worried that continued US control of part of the prison could lead to the creations of "Guantanamo's twin brother".
"We transferred more than 3,000 Afghan detainees into your custody... and ensured that those who would threaten the partnership of Afghanistan and coalition forces will not return to the battlefield," said Col Robert Taradash, the only US official at the ceremony.
"Our Afghan security forces are well trained and we are happy that today they are exercising their capability in taking the responsibility of prisoners independently and guarding the prisoners," said acting Defence Minister Enayatullah Nazari.
"We are taking the responsibility from foreign forces."
AFP news agency photos showed a small group of inmates being released as part of the ceremony.
Now officially known as the Parwan Detention Centre, Bagram prison lies about 40km (25 miles) north of the capital, Kabul.
It was once located in one of the largest military bases for Nato-led forces in Afghanistan, but the new Parwan facility was constructed a few miles away and populated with inmates in 2010.
The US military still wants to run a section of the jail and is not handing over hundreds of detainees, saying it has the right to hold insurgents caught on the battlefield, the BBC's Jonathan Beale in Kabul reports.
These include about 50 foreigners not covered by the handover agreement signed in March.
Privately, the US is concerned that some high-value inmates could be released if they are handed over, our correspondent says.
That has angered the Afghan president, who says that full Afghan control is an issue of sovereignty.
According to Afghan officials, there is a dispute over 34 inmates in particular, but they say they have made it clear they do not want control over the foreign prisoners.
Meanwhile the director of the Centre for Conflict and Peace Studies, Hekmat Karzai, told the BBC that the Americans believed they had a strategic interest in keeping these detainees.
"The argument is that while they have troops on the ground it's very difficult to release these people," said Mr Karzai, who is a cousin of the Afghan president.
Bagram timeline
- 1979-88: Key base for troops and supplies during Soviet occupation
- 2001: Air base taken over by coalition forces following fall of Taliban regime, also becomes the main US detention facility in Afghanistan
- July 2005: Escape by four "dangerous enemy combatants", the first by any prisoners
- February 2007: Suicide attack outside base during visit by US Vice President Dick Cheney kills more than 20 people
- 2010: Thousands of prisoners moved to Parwan Detention Centre, built outside base with extra capacity to replace old prison
- April 2010: Allegations surface of prisoner abuse at a hidden facility at Bagram
- February 2012: Violent protests erupt after US troops inadvertently burn copies of the Koran at Bagram - at least 30 people are killed
Bagram has been described as "Afghanistan's Guantanamo" for its troubled past of prisoner abuse and indefinite detention, our correspondent says.
In January 2012, Afghan investigators accused the US Army of abusing detainees at Bagram.
The investigators said prisoners had reported being tortured, held without evidence and subjected to humiliating body searches.
Nato and the US have rejected allegations of abuse as untrue and pointed to the fact that they have given the Afghan Human Rights commission access to check them independently.
In February this year, US soldiers unwittingly burned Korans confiscated from prisoners at Bagram, leading to days of protests and targeted killings across Afghanistan. A US investigation said there was no malicious intent to disrespect Islam.
Separately, a new report has suggested some Taliban may be open to a continuing US military presence after 2014, as long as the role is strictly defined.
A briefing paper by the Royal United Services Institute contains interviews with four senior Taliban figures, in which they say they will not negotiate with President Karzai but are prepared to renounce their association with al-Qaeda as part of a comprehensive peace agreement.
The report says some Taliban recognise that hosting al-Qaeda before 2001 was a mistake
The BBC's security correspondent, Gordon Corera, says talks between the Taliban and the US in the past have stumbled and there remains a crucial question mark over whether the views expressed in this briefing are representative of a broad swathe of Taliban opinion rather than just the more moderate elements.

Villa del Oceano - Luxurious Inspired Design on the Mesa
NOTE: We do not use the availability calendar on this website. Please visit Paradise Retreats website for availability information. Use the 'For Property Information and Availability Calendar' link located at the bottom of this page.
Like a perfect jewel perched atop a platinum setting, Villa del Oceano sparkles with designer style, rustic opulence, and a touch of Spanish charm. Newly constructed (2013), this enclave of homes occupies one of the highest bluffs on the Mesa, above the coastal landscape.
The home's architecture is pure Santa Barbara with cool stucco walls, arched doorways, wood floors and wrought iron accents. Color plays an essential role throughout the home. Vibrant fuchsia, absinthe, and sapphire blue blend with nature's palette. Every detail has been well thought out, every amenity provided.
Ultimately it is the stunning views that define this luxury home. Enter on the main level, where the Living Room with fireplace and elegant table sit under soaring beam ceilings. When opened, a wall of clever Nana doors further expand the space. The indoor and outdoor spaces blend together with seamless ease. Curl up by the fireplace with a good book or step outside with a early morning latte to take in the natural beauty of the ocean. The Channel Islands can be seen in the distance, and the twinkling neighborhood lights below create a magic backdrop after dark.
The Family Room is a casual space with fireplace, smart TV, and telescope through which dolphin sightings are a frequent occurrence. The adjacent fully stocked Kitchen with more ocean views will entice anyone to take on the meal preparation duties, or after dinner dishes!
Just outside, the balcony spans the entire length of the home. The ultimate corner sitting area high above the azure ocean, will truly feel like the heart of this spectacular vacation home. The deck connects all the south facing rooms including the Living Room, Dining Room, and Master Suite with stairs leading to the pool deck below.
The Master Suite with fireplace is large and majestic in rich colors of aubergine, platinum and brown. The Master Bathroom offers his and hers sinks, a beautifully lighted vanity, soaking tub and spacious shower. The large walk-in closet is a room all its own, with the smart addition of a stacking washer and dryer provided for convenience.
Descend the curved staircase to the lower level where a comfortable Media Room offers a large sectional couch and leather chair, flat screen TV, and wet bar. With deep green tones and rich natural brown wood, the formal Billiard Room offers yet another flat screen TV and dart board, making it a great spot for some healthy competition while keeping track of the 'big game'!
Three Guest Bedrooms on the terrace level all have stunning ocean views, and each offer a lavish experience with fine linens, lofty billowing pillows, and the convenience of sliding doors to the pool terrace. A 2nd Master Suite with king-size bed has a spacious attached Bathroom. One Guest Room with 2 twin beds shares a Jack and Jill style Bathroom with another Guest Room, which is outfitted with queen-size bed. All are lovely and well appointed. Nearby is a fully equipped Laundry Room that is both organized and efficient with plenty of counter space and front loading washer/dryer.
Ultimately, this home is defined by the outdoor spaces that were strategically created to take in the spectacular views from this hilltop Mesa location. The infinity pool seems to spill over right into the blue ocean below. There is an outdoor grilling center near the pool, and a fire pit that is surrounded by plenty of built-in seating for all to enjoy quiet conversation on cool summer nights. A unique outdoor shower is attached to a downstairs guest Bathroom.
Various seating areas are perfectly placed on the ocean view terrace offering any number of places to dine, read, relax, or nap! An elegant covered Loggia features a comfortable outdoor Living Room with fireplace and is just outside the downstairs Media Room. Dining al fresco is the ultimate experience at the rustic farm table under magnificent hand crafted iron chandeliers - romance and elegance embodied.
(Transcribed from guestbook at the property)

Information on the Series: Energy Law For Non-Energy Attorneys
Join us for a three-part series designed to introduce non-energy attorneys to energy law by looking at the legal and regulatory framework and issues in domestic energy production, energy distribution, and energy consumption.
The energy market continues to evolve, and this evolution brings with it business opportunities and risks. But energy growth and environmental impacts are increasingly intertwined through complicated federal and state regulations. To practice in today's world and to take advantage of new opportunities in the energy sector, environmental, real estate, corporate, non-profit, and other lawyers need to understand energy or at least be able to identify energy issues. This series, a collaborative effort between the American Law Institute CLE (ALI CLE) and the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), will allow audience members to do just that.
Who Should Attend
This fully accredited ALI CLE program is ideal for attorneys practicing in the energy, environmental, or real estate sectors, as well as other lawyers needing to understand energy or at least be able to identify energy issues in their practice.

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MMSI)
Develops, manufactures and markets disposable medical products primarily for use in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases which is considered to be one segment line of business.
Merit Medical Systems is a medical device manufacturer that specializes in single use items. It has about 200 million in sales per year.
The company has a clean balance sheet, no debt, and management runs a tight ship. With several new high margin products just coming on line and several others in the pipeline, they are a tasty minnow swimming in a sea of hungry sharks. By itself, it is in a stable, recession proof industry and would make a decent investment. In my opinion however, it is a prime buyout target.

My son was brewing a 10 gallon last night beer last night - one that was special to him. Apparently, his estimated strike temp did not consider that his grain was quite cold. In an effort to raise the mash temp in his cooler, he added way too much very hot water. The mash was around 185 for quite a while as he tried to add ice bottles, then the sparge stuck as we tried desperately to drain the cooler.
He figured that he had killed any enzymes necessary for mashing. After much frustration, he went ahead and boiled down what he had to about 5.5 gallons and put it into a sanitized no-chill container. His gravity was about 1.100.
The concern is that he has a concentrated 5 gallons of non-fermentable wort (if you can call it that).
Is there a way that this could be saved/salvaged?
1. adding exogenous enzymes to sort of perform the job that the natural enzymes would have done had they not been inadvertently denatured?
2. adding a certain amount of this concentrate to the mash of a "repeat batch" of this beer (using fresh grains) so that the enzymes in the fresh grain will also convert the more complex sugars in his concentrate?
Draw off a 1/2 gallon or so, add way-too-much yeast and see how it ferments. If it doesn't get very far, you could add some amylase enzyme, which you can get from most LHBS for about $2. I don't know how well it would convert at this point. Another option is Beano, although that would convert every last carbohydrate in the beer to fermentable sugar, which may not be much better than what you have. I suppose you could try something like the second option you listed above; adding all the wort at 150ish with a few pounds crushed base malt for an hour or so.
Say no to intolerance: love gluten and lactose.
For the future, he might try what I do in case of missing mash temp. Instead of mashing with 1.5 qt/lb, I mash with 1.25 qt/lb. I put .25 qt/lb in the fridge to get cold and the same amount in a pot to boil. This means I can move my temps up or down quickly without making my mash too thin. It also limits how much of each I can add. I always add a small amount at a time, mix and then wait measure temp. If I add a bot too much hot, then I can add some cold to pull back down.
Hey Keith, did you point out that he wouldn't have had that problem if he was doing BIAB?
nurture my pig
Mashing the grain at 185 presents more issues than just more unfermenting sugars. At over 172F you'll extract tannins from the grain. This could be a batch destined to be dumped. Before you bottle/keg it be sure to pull a taste sample. It would suck even more if you bottle it up only to find you cannot drink it.
Also, head slap him for messing up that badly.
BTW, I never have this issue in my direct fired mash tun keggle.
Don't dump it. What temp was the initial temp? T,he temp that was too low. Did he do a starch test? Is the wort sweet? If so it converted some

While we're on that subject, I've been looking at Tanny's/Rex's drafts.
I would say that they are about 60/40 positive.
Good picks:
Jeremy Kerley
Joe McKnight (All-Pro last year)
Muhammed Wilkerson
Quinton Coples (Still young, but criticisms were blown away)
Stephen Hill
Bilai Powell
Shonn Greene
Matt Slauson
Kyle Wilson
Mark Sanchez
Vlad Ducasse
The other picks are all either still in judgment or are relative to their draft position.
I will say this though. The one thing Rex has not drafted yet has been a player that makes an immediate impact. This might be his raft to do so.
THAT is the problem...... Total picks around 20 to 24 and we have 4 good picks.
Thats a big piece to why we are where we are....
Also, your last sentence is CMARTS point. No development of these players.
I just mean that a lot of his picks have been average. The only two stinkers are Sanchez (which at the time, I still contend was the right pick, given the options), and Ducasse, which is more Tanny's pick because the affiliation with UMass.
Connor was not a bad pick. He was a 5th round pick.
McKnight is not in the same league. Hester has been to 3 Pro Bowls and a 4 time All-Pro. I'd be willing to bet McKnight doesn't see a Pro Bowl or get another All-Pro.
McKnight was drafted to be a 3rd down back to replace Leon. I don't see how anyone can say he was a "good" draft pick. If you insist, then we are definitely not in agreement.
@StuartScott: Blessed by prayers..I'm back in the Fight. C reared its head again. Chemo evry 2 wks but I'll still work, still work out..still #LIVESTRONG
Guy has had many bouts. Good thoughts for Stu.

After being married for over 35 years, I think I figured out my husband has sleep apnea. He sometimes sleeps quietly; followed by an enormous snort/gasp of air, then the snoring becomes unbearable. He sleeps 10 hours a day, but always needs "5 more minutes", and seems tired when awake.
Recently, he discovered bone chips rising from the torus in his mouth. (unexplained but not at all uncommon lumps of bone growth in the mouth.) The tori are on the bottom of his mouth, and nearly level to the base of his teeth.
I'm wondering since his tongue is always elevated, could this be causing his distressed sleep, rather than sleep apnea -- could surgery to remove tori correct sleeping problem? (By the way, he claims he is awake and not snoring, when in fact he is.)

Testing methods vary from laboratory to laboratory and may affect the likelihood that the lab will identify a mutation in the gene if one is present. Different laboratory studies have the ability to detect different types of mutations. Accuracy will vary, depending upon the type of genetic testing method performed.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends that genetic testing for cancer be offered when families have a well-defined inherited cancer where the test result will affect medical care.
Chromosome studies may be performed when a child is born with multiple birth defects or when people have certain types of leukemias and lymphomas, to look for specific chromosome rearrangements associated with these types of cancers. Direct DNA studies look directly at the gene in question for an error.

When: Sunday to July 3
Where: Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State
Tickets: $11; students, $7; members, $6; double-bill discounts on Sundays
Info: (312) 846-2600; siskelfilmcenter.org
Updated: July 8, 2013 6:09AM
A biological clock comedy and a twisty sex crime thriller are among the titles scheduled for "Czech That Film," a series beginning Sunday at the Gene Siskel Film Center. Three intriguing dramas also touch on historical turns in the country's history: Germans expelled in 1945, an "anti-Zionist" show trial in 1953, and an illicit punk scene in 1983.
Screening through July 3, "Czech That Film" offers eight fiction features (three from 2012, five from 2011) during its 10-city tour run, presented by the Prague brewery Staropramen, with the Consulate General of the Czech Republic. Three of the seven titles recently screened here at European Union Film Festival and the Chicago International Film Festival also receive reprise screenings. All Czech dialogue is subtitled in English.
3 p.m., "Innocence": In this thorny domestic drama, director Jan Hrebejk ("Divided We Fall," "Up and Down") and his co-writer Petr Jarchovsky depict a physician with a 14-year-old patient who claims they are in love and have sex. The detective on the case was once married to the doctor's current wife. Then the focus abruptly shifts to another family member. Hrebejk, winner of best director honors in the 2012 Czech Lion Awards, finds a strange justice when a false accusation segues to an age-inappropriate infidelity. Also, 8 p.m. Wednesday.
5 p.m., "In the Shadow": The Czech Republic's 2012 entry for best foreign-language film Oscar is a thriller about scapegoats and currency devaluation. Show trials brand Jews as U.S. aggressors. "The early 1950s is one of the darkest times in Czechoslovak history," says director David Ondricek, who will attend both screenings. "Rain, dark corners, frequent power blackouts help create the atmosphere of a film noir." Pursuing the case of a sweaty safecracker, police Captain Hakl (Ivan Trojan) is suspiciously replaced by Major Zenke (Sebastian Koch from "The Lives of Others"), an East German investigator with an S.S. tattoo. This paranoid period piece rips the Soviet-instituted State Security apparatus. Also, 8 p.m. Monday.
June 16
3 p.m. "Don't Stop": A routine coming-of-age story with disapproving dads and other authorities as filmmaker Richard Rericha frames "Don't Stop" as a middle-aged dad's long flashback to his punk band named after France's public enemy No. 1 in 1950. Smugglers peddle U.K. vinyl. The dropout with the first Mohawk in Prague paints "I Hate You" on his black leather jacket. Early '80s TV clips indict the status quo, but there is no echo of the Plastic People, the real anti-state rockers in the '70s. Also, 8:15 p.m. June 17.
5 p.m. "Flower Buds": Zdenek Jirasky writes and directs a warm look at a downbeat family at Christmastime. The dad (Vladimir Javorsky) neglects his duties as a railroad switch operator so he can build ships-in-bottles. His wife rehearses for a group gymnastics competition. His pot-growing son turns pimp. And his unwed daughter is pregnant. When fireworks ignite due to a tragedy at a train crossing, it becomes clear that this is not the usual Yuletide uplift. Also, 8:15 p.m. June 19.
June 23
3 p.m., "Perfect Days": Alice Nellis directs a reproduction comedy (that's a romantic comedy with an emphasis on eggs) based on Liz Lochhead's play. A 44-year-old salon celebrity with a popular makeover TV show tells her mom: "I refuse to pretend that I'm happy so that you can be happy that I'm happy." But getting pregnant would make her happy. Enter the sperm donated by a gay pal. Baby ensues. Also, 8 p.m. June 24.
5:15 p.m., "Signal": An aspiring opera singer and a particle physics student drive around the countryside with a con. Claiming to scout locations for a cellphone tower, they get bribes from property owners and get lucky with local gals. Tomas Rehorek directs a comic drama where the famous Czech director and actor Jiri Menzel plays a scientist discredited by authorities in the bad old days. Also, 8 p.m. June 26.
June 30
5:15 p.m. "Alois Nebel": Director Tomas Lunak's auspicious debut also was the Czech Republic's entry for the 2011 best foreign language film Oscar. A haunting memory of expelled Germans in 1945 sparks visions in 1989 that drive a stationmaster to a sanitarium. Based on a graphic novel trilogy, this animated tale uses black-and-white rotoscoping as it ponders trauma on the Polish border as the Berlin Wall falls. Also, 8:15 p.m. July 3.

For the first time in a long time - at least away from American Airlines Center - the Dallas Mavericks played like a team that wanted in the NBA Playoffs.

A year ago tomorrow the Mavs pulled the trigger on their controversial blockbuster, sending Devin Harris and two first-round draft picks to the New Jersey Nets for Jason Kidd.

No, no Avery. The Mavs are 2-4, not 1-4. Nice try. Wanna know how crappy the Dallas Mavericks were yesterday afternoon against the previously winless Clippers. This about sums it up: "We just couldn't get stops," said Jason Kidd, "and we couldn't make any shots at the other end." ... More >>

These were found to have an excessive amount of phthalates, which are used to make plastics more flexible and harder to break.
SINGAPORE: Five out of eight samples of rubber-band loom products sent to a laboratory here have failed quality standards tests. They were found to have excessive amount of phthalates - more than 0.1 per cent of the safety standards.
Phthalates are used to make plastics more flexible and harder to break. Products, especially toys on retail shelves, need to be properly labelled and contain information such as age-restrictions and usage warnings.
MediaCorp found some rubber-band loom products in several stores do not contain such information and sent them to Insight Laboratories for testing. Some of the products had a strange smell, and an oily texture. Based on laboratory tests, these products are found to be unsafe for use.
Said Mr Joel Tan, Managing Director of Insight Laboratories: "Plasticisers are added to plastics to make them softer. There a wide range of plasticisers out there for industrial purposes. However, six of them are banned in the production of toys. In the samples provided, we found that five of them have failed. Some failed by as much as twice the limit, some failed by up to four times the limit."
SPRING Singapore told MediaCorp that it takes all reports from the public very seriously, and will investigate this matter. If necessary, it will verify the test results, and take appropriate action, which might include issuing a stop-sale notice.
