For chromium 6, unfortunately at this point in time we don't know enough about the actual levels and the risks to answer your question.

Strange Orange Goo In Alaska
by News of the Weird
posted Aug 9 2011 1:19PM
This mysterious gooey substance just appeared out of nowhere in the tiny Alaskan village of Kivalina. It is now covering most of the shoreline and it has scientists and even long-time residents stumped. Tests show that the goo is billions of microscopic eggs....but of WHAT? Scientists don't know what species the eggs are...and they don't know if they are going to hatch! I think I'd leave town!!

As the only VFD2 participant who does not have to go through TSA security in the next week, I got delegated to take the open bottles of adult beverages home. So while I haven't had all that much to drink these past few days, the final toasts have been raised and downed, hands have been shaken, and in the morning I'll head all nine miles home and go back to my day job on Monday. I think by then, the other delegates will all have left the west coast.
I still have a couple of sessions to write about, and I'm planning to do so next week if not before. PureStorage brought back memories of my days early on at 3PARdata, before they dropped the "data" so to speak. Xangati is an impressive solution for tracking performance and patterns in a virtualization environment. And despite my inaccurate guess at the Dell model of server used by Pivot3, they had an interesting product for distributed ESXi/VDI that I'm pondering a bit further.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank my colleages at Virtual Field Day 2 for making it an impressive experience for me… to Matt Simmons for a great job running the show in Stephen's absence, and Stephen Foskett and all of the past delegates who decided to invite me to participate. It was a bit overwhelming at times, when I stopped to think about how intensely involved in virtualization these guys are. I've been a deep/broad generalist for most of my career, and while I've done virtualization of multiple flavors and degrees, it's not my living. But I think maybe that balanced out some of the crowd and brought a different perspective into the mix, which is a valuable element for a gathering such as this.
So here are the folks you should go check out. As they blog about the sessions we shared, I'll add links to my posts about them, but they're all interesting and involved and interactive, so I can't over-recommend giving their respective sites a look.
- Edward Haletky The Virtualization Practice – @Texiwill
- Rodney Haywood Musings of Rodos – @Rodos
- Bill Hill Virtual Bill – @Virtual_Bill
- Mike Laverick RTFM Education – @Mike_Laverick
- Dwayne Lessner IT Blood Pressure – @Dlink7
- Scott Lowe TechRepublic / Virtualization Admin – @OtherScottLowe
- Roger Lund vRoger / vBrainstorm – @RogerLund
- David Owen VMackem – @VMackem
- Brandon Riley Virtual Insanity – @BrandonJRiley
- Todd Scalzott Don't Call Me Scott – @TScalzott
- Rick Schlander Virtualization with VMware Technology – @VMRick
- Chris Wahl Wahl Network – @ChrisWahl
Yeah, that copy and paste didn't come through so well, but it should work.
So I hope to be invited back for a future event, and I'm pleased with the experience I had over the last 50ish hours. I don't think this more-than-one-blog-entry-a-week thing will last too much longer, but I still have a draft on my Shuttle VMware box and some other stuff to share soon.
Thanks all… see you virtually, and physically soon.

When considering eating at restaurant or staying at a hotel or other tourist accommodation, your local Environmental Health office provides an inspection report that gives you a snapshot look into the operation of the business.

These food service and tourist accommodation inspection reports are now available on the State of Georgia's new Digital Health Department and can be accessed using the State's inspection search tool. To acces this inspection search tool click on the corresponding inspection form below. Once on the inspection search tool page, searches can be conducted by using a specific date range, entering in keywords, and choosing either establishment's name, address, city, or zipcode, by choosing a letter grade, or by choosing the first letter of the establisment's name. Each search will display the establisment's most recent inspection, as well as, providing access to its last five inspections. To see what violations have been deducted click view inspection. Then if you want access to an electronic copy of the original form click view form. Each report has detailed notes of the inspector's findings on the second page.

When your child has a problem in school — with a classmate, an assignment, or the teacher herself — don't hesitate to talk to the teacher.
"Parents need to remember that a teacher is often faced with 18 to 30 children in a room, all with unique issues and needs," says Gwynn Mettetal, associate professor of education at Indiana University South Bend and director of the University Center for Excellence in Teaching. As a result, teachers can't always give children personalized attention right away.
Once you contact the teacher to set up a meeting, think of it as a problem-solving or brainstorming session. Assume that both you and the teacher want what's best for your child and that you'll find a way to work together.
To get the most out of your meeting, the National Education Association and the National Parent Teacher Association recommend these steps:

text: Hollywood for Censorship: Russell Simmons, Questlove Join Midler's Battle vs. Filmmaker Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 16 Sep 2012 post a comment Bette Midler cast aside freedom of speech earlier this week by saying the filmmaker responsible for the anti-Muslim movie in the news should be charged with murder. Midler isn't alone in shoving aside the First Amendment. Both hip hop mogul Russell Simmons and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" musician Questlove are siding against free speech. When you're an unabashed supporter of President Barack Obama, party loyalty trumps the right to create, apparently. Questlove, who once played a hateful song as the intro to Fallon guest Michele Bachmann, Tweeted to porn star turned political pundit Jenna Jameson, "i was thinkin WE should not makin propaganda films that would endanger our country" ... and, "why isn't anyone coming down on [name redacted by Breitbart News] for putting our country in danger?" Simmons wondered if making a movie critical of Islam should even be legal in his own Tweet: Wonder how Simmons feels about Bill Maher's "Religulous?"

Real UK-style Cask Ale - South of 49th Parallel - West of Atlantic Ocean?
- b
- bishopsbitter Jun 14, 2007 11:44 AM
Just returned from a trip to the UK. Again pondering why one can stumble into any reasonable pub more or less and get a pint of cask-conditioned ale that soothes the soul, whereas you can travel from New York, to Seattle, to LA and across back through Houston to Tampa and still not find a cask ale that a) will not possibly kill you (read my earlier thesis US Brewmasters as failed chemists) and b) you'd want to drink even a pint of.
The problem goes back to the loss of Sherlock's Home, Minnetonka Minnesota. They are the only place I have come across (in the US) with drinkable (make that, unbelievably excellent) real cask-conditioned ale.
I am not that fussy. At an English pub I will run through the menu of real ales. But what I find in the US is that people seem aroused and satisfied by the weird and wonderful creations on offer, but somehow (apart from the alcohol) miss the obvious fact that the stuff is cloudy, gunky, and tastes like water from a washing machine just unloaded from a particularly heavy load of soiled Bolivian unicyclists' jockstraps.
I've found something half decent in Toronto. But south of the border I've travelled cities galore (NY, Detroit, Seattle [too many bloody hills to make the awful beers found worthwhile at all], Houston etc. etc. etc.) and no good. If you knew Sherlock's Home you surely know what I am talking about. Keg Tetley's or Boddingtons in a can is not going to do it. Well-kept (even bog-standard) Guinness draught can give a distant glimmer of what I am talking about, but that is about all.
Please do not write telling me I am crazy. I really think it was Sherlock's or nothing. No one is doing it right. At least in terms of purveying a product that would not start a street riot in the United Kingdom. I have put in the work. I have worn out shoes. I have drunk things that should be labelled with a government health warning all in the name of this research.
But if you knew Sherlock's, and know a place that compares [Great Waters in St Paul is one place I have not made it to] PLEASE LET ME THE HELL KNOW. Thanks a lot.
An amusing aside. On the trip to the UK I noticed that many pubs had dual Guinness Draught keg spigots. One normal and one "Extra Cold" (with icy blue trim). Knowing the answer already I asked a barmaid, so do people like the Ice Cold one? "Oh yes, much more popular." Figures. A beer that's so cold you can't taste its subtle flavors at all is much more popular than even the regularly over-chilled Guinness Draught.
No wonder it's a problem finding 54F bitter.
You can find Cask conditioned ale served at the proper temperature in many NYC bars. If you come here I can give you some good suggestions. SD also has a couple of places for it.
Also while I do like traditional English beers on cask, insulting American beer and the people who enjoy it isnt going to get you too far here. The best beer styles do not have to be ones that were perfected over 100 years ago.
As to the beers you mentioned, personally I wouldn't go out of my way to drink Tetleys or Boddingtons, and I only drink Guiness when nothing else is available. There are American versions of those styles that are much much better. Port Brewing in San Diego makes a dry Irish stout that they occasionally serve on cask that puts Guiness to shame.
Furthermore there is nothing wrong with "cloudy" beers, that is simply the style. You do not need pure clarity for some brews. Ever had anything from Belguim?
Also By the way, you seem a little fussy.
You will need to seek out local quality beer bars and brewpubs if you want to find real cask ale. Yes, I think you are crazy if you only think one place in the US that does it right. I can think of about 5 outlets off the top of my head in my area (Boston) that serves cask ale on a regular basis - and at least 3 of them know what they are doing.
Join this site and ask in this forum where to find cask beer in your area and you will have your answer in a jiffy.
re: LStaff
BTW, where is that thesis about US brewmasters being failed chemists? I need a good laugh.
re: LStaff
Brewing is 90% science 10% art. You really (to knock out consistently good brews) need some sort of formal (not just reading a book or 2) grounding in the science part. Or a good apprenticeship with someone who does. At American brewpubs I do (most times) know how a lab rat must feel. IN other words I feel "experimented upon" by mad scientist wannabes who apparently never try their own brews either out of fear or whatever reason before serving 'em up. If they did, most would be flushed down the drain I think. I know it sound scathing, and sweeping, but I've never had anything vaguely resembling a "decent pint" at these places, barring Sherlock's. Not for want to searching, but no joy.
re: bishopsbitter
I still am intrerested in what places and what beers you have tried. There is a lot of crap out there but the people who post on this board are generally pretty knowledgable on the American craft brewing scene and can point you to the better places.
Thanks MVNYC. The thing is I do think that classical styles are just that. They evolved for a reason. Just because a brewmaster has some obscure malt and other adjuncts knocking around and wonders "what if" it's not good enough reason to subject yourself to the result.
I am certainly not insulting anyone. I tried to make it clear my post was a little tongue-in-cheek. After all I lived in the US since 1982~!! I even liek Schlitz as a canned beer of choice.
LStaff says that only 60% of the known outlets "know what they are doing." That's more than in my experience by about . . . 59% . . . but still not a heartening level of brewing art in action.
My main mystification is why it is so difficult to craft a decent English bitter in the wood. Like Sherlock's Home did. It is not enough to draw some sort of vaguely fermented malt beverage with a cutesey name from a beer engine. This stuff is made in bulk in UK breweries (i.e. it does not require exotic brewing apart from good ingredients and a well managed cellar) and I would submit that if it were in wider circulation here the US would develop a taste for this and strawberry granola frission ales in the wood would die the death they so richly deserve.
Trust me, the reason that cask ale is so hard to find is because Sherlock's is not on tap everywhere. If it was, the entire nation would be ordering pints. The day Sherlock's closed is a black memory. I had driven 647 miles to drink there (it was just after Christmas) and the place was dark when I arrived. Argh.
re: bishopsbitter
Like I said, a lot of brewers are doing lots of wonderful things with casks right now. Sierra Nevada actually makes a bitter on Cask that is fantastic. It doesnt even have a cutesy name. Other good bitters produced by American companies include Alesmith from San Diego and Rogue from Oregon. Both are occasionally available on cask. The site JessKidden listed below is a little out of date but it does shed some light on where you can get cask ales.
In NYC Blind Tiger always has beers on cask and in gravity kegs. DBA does as well. I had a Bluebird bitter there a week or so ago. It was very nice.
The US has been producing world class versions of most styles of beer for years now, not just "Strawberry Granola" ales. I for one do not really enjoy fruit beers myself.
re: MVNYC
Revelation! My fault entirely although my subject line ~is~ accurate. I am not fixating on a lack of ANY cask ale. Only on the lack of UK-Style cask ale such as C.A.M.R.A. members might recognize. I should have stressed this. I tend (wrongly) to assume that cask ales equate with English, Irish, and European traditions, but there's no law says it has to. Can you swear on a bible MVNYC that if I make a pilgrimage to Oregon or San Diego that I will find nirvana, and not (as ALWAYS before) an amber substance, over-chilled, with little "nose" that, while it may vaguely excite for a few sips, ultimately disappoints, and gives you a dreadful headache for yoru trouble. And naturally you never want another . . . . and another . . . . as is the natural order of beers worth drinking. Have you drunk English beer in its natural habitat? If not, maybe have a run over, drink lots of cask ales, then tell me whether I am so fussy after all. Again, don't take me too seriously. I really do feel a loss with Sherlock's Home gone (which was also home from home for a variety of English ex pats) but as with an obscure Indiana girls' basketball team, I am rooting for something to turn up. I really am. But like an abused wife, I am shell-shocked and very wary of the quest for a new love, even a malty-hoppy one. But I've enjoyed this exchange. hope you have.
re: bishopsbitter
Yes I do think you might find Nirvana at the bottom of a pint of Alesmith ESB, a fine ale it is.
As to your question, yes i have consumed alot of real ale at the source, been to England a few times. But here's the thing, when I travel or live in a place, i try to focus on what they do well. As a NYer i generally avoid those Ny foods, like bagels and pizza that I know are just pale imitations of the real thing. So what I am trying to say is Americans do make good beer, you just might have to seek it out. English beer is not the end all be all, there are so many wonderful styles and varieties out there.
re: MVNYC
MVNYC I think though you make my point. If you had spent your last 25 years say in Germany, far from NYC, I guarantee you would haunt these boards bemoaning why no-one in Dusseldorf or the greater Fatherland can make a decent bagel. I mean "it's so simple". Ditto Pizza. I don't think you would by then have switched to a diet solely of pork knuckles and sauerkraut. You see what I mean? I've lived in NYC myself, and believe me I know what you are saying about bagels & pizza & sandwiches & pickles & ... & ... but if you lived 6000 miles from NYC and had a pizza craving, WHAT THEN? This is essentially my predicament these past 25 years, and without Sherlock's an itch that cannot be scratched without extensive travel. There's no good reason for that state of affairs. It's nto rocket science to make beer OR pizza. And NY style pizza, and English-style ale can both be made (more or less) anywhere. One aside: Minnetonka (home to Sherlock's) had outstanding public water supply. Similar water to Burton on Trent. So it was not entirely a coincidence their beer was so special or that it was erected there (the brewmaster had sussed the water aspect in advance!).
re: bishopsbitter
I think that no matter how simple the item might be to make it is a naive expectation to think it should be available outside of it's place of origin in a similar state. Strong cultural-historical currents also affect what we drink and brew and how we do what we do around the world. As much as I enjoy going to Britain and consuming their ales, as a Gen X American male I did find myself craving hops and have an APA as soon as I land home. What I didn't or wouldn't do while in Britain or anywhere else is be the ugly American and judge an Adnam's Bitter to be subpar because its IBUs are under 75.
Judge things on their own terms and enjoy life for it's diversity.
re: bishopsbitter
Yeah when i lived in Central Europe(Prague) i have to say i did miss those things, however i did not insult an entire nation of pizza makers becuase they couldnt do it like they could back home. My diet did shift and i ate a lot of pork, cabbage and dumplings. By the way pork knuckles are fantastic. Anyway i developed a fondness for the cuisine and I dont eat it so much back here because it doesnt taste the same. The same thing with Czech beer, i rarely drink it in the US becuase it simply is not as fresh and wonderful as when I got it over there.
I do feel for you as after a few months of drinking Czech Pilseners, beers i regarded as great, I really missed a good American IPA. I craved a hop bomb, a real hop monster. That style isn't really brewed in Europe nor is it imported and I did miss it greatly, however when in Rome or in this case Prague....
re: MVNYC
On the contrary, the beer for which I named my Yahoo Id Bishops Bitter was not so much a hop bomb, as a hop NUKE. The brewmaster once said he wanted you to still taste it an hour after your last sip. Remember English brewing is not shy of hops. Rest of Europe another matter.
I could go into yet ANOTHER thesis this one to do with why there is no such thing as an "English American" and how that factors into the problem. All the rather strict lectures (almost) to assimilate into the native scene is all very well. but I don't notice many Mexicans around here giving up tortillas, nor Irish Americans saying "enough already on the corned beef and stout stews". Jewish Americans have not had to abandon their chicken livers even though it's not exactly a widespread popular tasting thing. So I think my thesis is that the problem is the lack of the "English American" as an identified sub-group. Now how the heck we can solve that one . . . ?
Again, cease please if you think I am insulting the Grand Old US. I love this country as much, if not more, than if it were my own (it soon will be when I become a naturalized American). And I have tried throughout this post to make it clear that while yes I am a frustrated man in search of drinkable beer, I am not exactly having 3 analyst sessions a week about it, nor do I even have anything particularly against Bolivian unicyclists.
With all these theses you'd think I'd be Doctor BB by this stage.
re: bishopsbitter
You mention tortillas and corned beef and chicken livers but we in the States happen to have millions of Mexican, Irish and Jewish immigrants (and not as many Brits). I personally would love to see a few Brits skip the pond and open a true English brewpub and broaden the American beer scene even further.
re: Chinon00
I think you'd be surprised how many of us there are. I don't know the stat's but our problem is in the British habit of keeping a low profile :-)
A quick bit of Internet research and :
If you check out the above link I think you'll find it interesting that (as I suspected) immigrants from the United Kingdom are the highest from Europe and even in the classic period of mass immigration we kept up with the Irish. We've just never (and I think this a bad thing) been recognized in the US as a block of folks. This is mainly to do with the british character I think. We tend to shy away from other Brit's rather than seeking them out. Again it's a shame and to do with all sorts of things like English Class and the like.
Bottom line though, there should be as many English real ale places as Irish bars and tortillerias, well almost! ;-)
re: bishopsbitter
There are some "problems" with casked real beer and the styles that are usually produced as real/cask beer that hinder its popularity with mainstreem beer drinkers in the US.
1) Not advertised/marketed- most don't know it even exists, nevermind what it is and why they should be drinking it
2) Has a reputation (deservedly or not) of being flat and warm where most beer drinkers in the US prefer cold and spritzy
3) Styles/brand names with the word "bitter" is offputting to most mainstream beer drinkers due to ignorance of the bitter style
4) Not enough publican knowledge - even from those bars that put it on on how to prepare/keep cask beer or even when it needs to be taken off.
5) Fresh beer is not a huge objective for microbrewers and distributors of craft beer , so there is no distribution channels that can be relied upon to get fresh casks out to its customers in a timely manner.
re: LStaff
LStaff - I think you hit the nail on the head. Especially about the marketing (why else would that yellow fizz be the best selling in the world).
It's a shame. Or perhaps a blessing, at the moment at least. If there were to be a swell of cask drinkers, it would be even harder to get it. And I'm not sure how quickly the pubs/brewers would respond considering the difficulty in cellaring/tapping/cleaning, etc.
re: bishopsbitter
Good information. But I guess in general there isn't much of an identifiable distinct British cultural stamp in America. Maybe this happens when you are a nation that was once first, a British colony, and secondly settled by British people?
re: Chinon00
Yes, I think it explains what one still observes quite often here: remnants of anti-British hostility, no less tangible today than the shakedown effects of slavery and the Civil War.
Also as a United Kingdom immigrant to this country, it always irritated the heck out of me how Northern Irish folks (who are also United Kingdom nationals) got preferential treatment in both visa lotteries and quotas. It might interest you (if you don't know already) that English, Scottish and Welsh nationals were exempt from "diversity" Visa Lotteries organized by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. And yet Irish and Northern Irish (who again are Irish only in name and part of the United Kingdom, although the IRA might not quite agree there) were not. Irish immigrants hardly add to the diversity of this country, per your previous note, but this provided many with a fast path to a Green Card all the same.
But yes, there are still some fallouts and hostilities held against the British from the events of 200-300 years ago but zero towards nationalities like German or Italian or Japanese who far more recently have been mortal enemies of the US in world wars!
Oh well, the topic is beer, not immigration and history. I used to live in a small town in Oklahoma where there was a fish and chip place called "Mr Limey's Fish and Chips" I always thought it similar to Mr Greaseball's Pizza or Slant-Eye San's Sushi in terms of being rather offensive (there was a sign featuring a typical English "twit" in a bowler hat to top it off) but fact that no-one really cared (either the insultING nor the insultED parties really) seems somehow a part of this whole topic we are talking about.
I can't think of any member of Congress of recent British heritage either now or recent memory.
Maybe that's why they invented Canada. :-)
But I love the US so much. Like Christopher Hitchens, coming from the stuffy arena that is the UK and Europe the US almost immediately bowls you over, and for most of us that never ever wears off, even with a few hurdles to climb and lack of bitter.
re: bishopsbitter
I didn't mean to imply "anti-British hostility". I was only saying that it would be harder to distiguish (traditionally) American Colonial era cultural traits from 18th century British cultural traits (to me this is intuitive but I have no facts to back it up).
re: bishopsbitter
try this site: http://220.127.116.11/~gothamim/magazine....
It's run by an expat who's also a member of CAMRA. As for finding Cask, I can help you find places that serve it, but not places that make it. In which case I can kind of see where the original point was coming from.
But if you're ever in the new york city area, try the imbiber.
re: bishopsbitter
By the way, I am just curious as to what beers are the results of these failed experiments? you may just be ordering the wrong things
re: MVNYC
MVNYC, No I don't think so. I usually ask the bartender "what is your cask ale most like an English bitter?" and drink whatever they give me. I request medium alcohol, lots of hops and not too much malt. Often they look at me as though I am "funny" (not in a good,ha ha, way) but it is a fair request I think. And brings me back to another thesis that if people are not that interested in these factors then no wonder they get such swill dished up without discrimination. I have had a revelation though. see my reply to your other one of 1109AM.
re: bishopsbitter
One final think. At Sherlock's Home when they first opened they sold WAY more lager style beer than real ales (they always had 4 cask ales: Bishops Bitter, Stags Head Stout, Palace Porter and one other Scottish style I forget). But over the years Americans in the Twin Cities (not just UK ex pats) started to appreciate the glories of real ale and they ended up (before closing) selling far more Bishops Bitter than anything else. Hence my third thesis, that if real UK style ale could only attain a critical mass in the US they'd soon be selling it at TGIFridays. Well, hold on. Perhaps I am getting into the realms of fantasy there. But I assure you the taste would develop. Best. from email@example.com (I loved the ale so much I bought the yahoo ID, shades of Victor Kiam)
This website keeps track of all the bars and brewpubs offering cask ale (both domestic and UK beers) in the US-
There is also a Yahoo group- not real active but questions and suggestions are quickly answered- as noted on the bottom of that page.
The beer importer, B. United brings in a lot of cask ale ("a lot"? Well, compared to anyone else...) and they now have a "Where to find our products" page that lists "On Premises" locations, state by state- http://www.bunitedint.com/
re: JessKidden
Sounds like a good idea bunitedint.com. But in this part of the world (Texas) it's a theoretical entity. Alas, you think of those old newsreels of them chopping into the wooden beer barrels. I too can remember in the UK when EVERY pub (not just "real ale pubs) served from the wood. It's a highly perishable product, and no wonder is hard to find. But this is a huge country and somewhere, even without Sherlock's, I think someone could product something quaffable in the UK Real Ale bitter style served at 54F in imperial pint glasses.
re: bishopsbitter
Hey Bishops,
Not sure what part of Texas you are in, but you're going to have a bit of a job finding an English bitter out there. Texas was settled by predominantly German immigrants, so much of the local stuff is more of the German styles.
One notable exception are the beers from Real Ale Brewing Co. They have a very nice Nut Brown ale, and a fantastic Rye Pale Ale.
They must be alright, they quote Zappa on their homepage.
If there's a Flying Saucer near you, you might want to see if they do cask beers. I know the downtown Ft. Worth location occasionally serves cask beer. They also have a pretty decent selection of bitters (in bottles, at any rate).
Here in San Diego, there are a lot of cask beer producers, though none that I've seen serving from wood.
re: bishopsbitter
That's quite a drive. I've seen their bottles at HEB, Central Market, and Whole Foods as well. The Houston Flying Saucer probably has it on draft. According to their website they're pouring Left Hand's Jackman's Pale Ale right now, which is a very nice English-style pale.
re: Josh
I have tried the Black Labrador (AWFUL beer but fairly awesome goth waitresses with 16" waists and Mary Jane shoes) and the Red Lion (good Guinness on draught but no cask) and went into another place that was so awful we left after a scant pint. It might have been Sherlock Holmes as well, but without the pun. incidentally, here is a little more about Sherlock's Home. Those of you who did not know it . . . well I can only wish you had. It was the REAL DEAL.
Flying Saucer I will try but am I setting myself for another abusive eposide and trip to the battered malt beverage recovery Center?
re: bishopsbitter
I've been to Flying Saucer on several occasions and have been pretty happy with the beer selection, but I'm not specifically seeking out English-style brews. They have a great cross-section of beers though. There's actually a place I went in Waco that had the best selection of English draft beer I've yet seen in the US. They had a number of Fuller's and Young's on draft, including Fuller's London Porter. Wish I could recall the name. If you're interested I'll try and find it.
re: bishopsbitter
Cool. I'm interested to hear what you find out.
re: Josh
A note I got from Blanco. Unfortunately owing to a s.n.a.f.u. on another commitment in oklahoma that was supposed to be THIS weekend, but is now looking like next, I may not be able to make it.
Note however that they do not always have cask conditioned ale. Just "often". And it's not a pub. :-(((((((((((((((((((((((((((
But anyone in the Austin area that lieks real ale / cask-conditioned, might want to head out. I will still go there if I can. Just looking not 100% certain.
Thanks for writing.
We have recently moved to our new brewery, complete with a tasting room and brewery tours.
We are manufacturing facility, rather than a pub, so you can taste our ales on premise
but we can only sell you shirts and glassware.
The tasting room is now open to the public from 2-5pm on Fridays, with a tour at 4 pm. However,
due to the party on June 30, we will be closed on Friday June 29.
We do cask conditioned ales often, but not on a regular basis, and Blanco being such a small town, we
primarily sell them to bars in Austin.
If you would like to add your name to the list for the Friday tour, please let us know ahead of time.
You can email or leave a message at the office number below.
There is no charge for the tour, and it normally takes about 45 minutes.
Please include your name and the # of people in your group.
Cheers, and thanks for your support.

Your brewery came up in the context of this Chowhound thread. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/411436
I was wondering though, my wife and I were planning to come over to Blanco this weekend (and maybe the one after for your celebration).
Thing is I am not clear whether you have a public retail (bar/pub) there or just the brewery. If the latter, where in Blanco can we get any cask-conditioned ales you make please?
Thank you for the info, Looking forward to trying the beer. Since Sherlocks' Home (brewpub) in Minnetonka closed several years ago, have not been able to find any decent cask-conditioned real ale in the US.
re: bishopsbitter
Austin has a branch of Ginger Man (from NYC), and that's where I first had Real Ale's beer. It seems like the kind of place that would serve casks.
I see there's one in Houston, as well.
re: Josh
A note to gingerman and I heard back very soon with reply below
But I have had the supposed cask St Arnold's at another place and it was a bit in the "health threatening" category.
But will ahve to try the Gingerman all the same. Cask ale is all about how its kept after all
All of the Texas pubs serve cask-conditioned ale from St. Arnold.
See http://www.starnold.com/beers/elissa....
"A small portion of Elissa IPA is routinely drained from the
fermenters, dry-hopped, cask-conditioned, and delivered to select
local pubs and served from old-fashioned beer engines."
On a recent trip to Britain I enjoyed the following (although I'm not sure if they were on cask):
Adnam's Bitter
Landlord Bitter
Bombardier Bitter
Eagle IPA
Fuller's Hock
and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. But it is not my expectation to get these kinda of beers here made by American brewers. It sort of makes going to Britain special.
re: Chinon00
Adnams is great.
In SD, there are two local brewers producing very nice bitter. AleSmith's Anvil ESB is one, and Ballast Point's Calico Amber Ale is another. Both are classic ESBs, and very tasty.
re: Josh
Ah, SD=San Diego! I read a post above and was skeptical of the real ale in South Dakota.
Session ales are too light in gravity and fragile to make the voyage across the pond. Find a local brewery that you like and support it. Fresh beer is best.
Alternatively, brew your own. www.hottobrew.com is a great place to get started on this rewarding and fun hobby. Brew your own ordinary bitter. It's easy cheap and fun!
re: Tom from Raleigh
I too thought South Dakota. Black Hills might have such things but glad for the clarification!
re: Chinon00
We loved the adnam's and the bombardier. Wow, I really loved the bombardier. Glad someone this side likes it, too!
I hear you Bishops'. An old girlfriend and I once grabbed a cheap flight to Manchester, and spent a week driving around Lancashire, northern Wales, and W. Yorkshire. The only liquid that passed our lips was cask conditioned ale, and the occasional glass of water. We even timed the trip so that we could attend a CAMRA beer social in Burnlee (a little neighborhood near Holmfirth), and then a weekend festival at the Huddersfield & District CAMRA group (the local paper even wrote about the Americans attending the festival). We had a great time.
If you're ever going to NEW England, ask about where you can get a pint of cask (some places will even serve you a "proper" pint). They are scattered about.
re: RIChowderhead
Stop RIChowder! you are killing me here :-) While I used to drive 647 miles each way for Sherlock's brew, at this stage a 7 day ad hoc beer fest as per yours is not sounding too far at all. And very tempting.
re: bishopsbitter
I don't know if you can beat $350 RT today, but you never know.
If you can get a cheap flight to Boston, there are a lot of places that serve cask within easy driving distance. Like I said, ask on this site and people will tell you where you can try. Even Portland, ME, or Portsmouth, NH could be worth it. There's a lot of cask there for such small cities (and they're within 2 to 3 hours from Boston). I unfortunately can't compare anything to Sherlock's, however. Never even heard of it.
re: RIChowderhead
Please don't judge all of american beer based on the tastes of TX or the american south for that matter - yes there are great breweries in those regions, but they are few and far between.
If English ales or american versions of English styles are what you are looking for the Northeast/New England regions are where you should be. And once a year, actual english cask ale will come to you. Check out NERAX.org for more info.
Sounds like you would love the lovely state of Maine's beers....mmmm buttery. ;-(
re: LStaff
I tried three TX breweries' beers and found all of them to be very well done. Both Shiner and Rahr and Sons make very good German styles, and Real Ale makes good English styles. TX also has a thriving homebrew community, so I wouldn't be surprised to see other good beers being made there.
re: RIChowderhead
check with southwest, or sign up for their email list....we got 3 RT from tampa to indianapolis for less than $350 total (including fees and taxes) -- $39 one way.
re: hitachino
heh - i'm surprised no one deleted this post of mine yet. (about inexpensive airfare)
as for cask ale, i'd never actually tried it until i visited the brewery in noblesville - their bourbon barrel aged one was very good. i think that i somehow knew to expect a less carbonated beer, but the flavors were exceptional. i think the lack of immediate and overwhelming carbonation would throw any person used to the average beer off.
that's such a shame!
re: hitachino
I just saw your "inexpensive airfare" reply. I'm not sure the comparison is accurate. The RT flight to Manchester was from Providence, RI to Manchester, England. I don't think Southwest flies there.
However, your revelation about real ale is quite correct.
Maybe take a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I had a gravity fed oak cask Pike Pale Ale last week. Maybe time your visit for the Cask Ale Fest.
Although I don't think they've announced a date for next year.
There are three breweries within 5 miles of my house that ALWAYS have a cask on and another half dozen that often do within 20 miles.
So if you got to Seattle and found no good cask ale, I suspect you weren't really trying. Local tastes being what they are around here, English styles aren't as poplular but Elysian's ESB is often on cask and Diamond Knot's brown is really close to the real deal.
re: Kevin B
Oh I was trying. At the top of a 3/4 mile 1 in 5 hill found a place with absolutely awful brews, albeit interesting clientele.
A similar situation in Denver. The only thing these places lack is . . . . beer one can drink for a lengthy session without thoughts of suicide or Advil. But if I get back I will try again. The thing is with battered wives you are supposed to not "go back for more." That is absolutely (while trivial when it comes to beer of course) the situation. Am I a fool for going back for "more of the same"???
re: bishopsbitter
Next time in Colorado, look for Avery's Piglet Purgatory. It's based on their Hog Heaven barleywine, but is only 4.5% alcohol and very tasty.
A) The Magnoila Pub in San Francisco has long been known to have one of the best cask systems on the West Coast; they typically have at least two beers on cask, with the capacity for five. Their Blue Bell Bitter and Spud Boy IPA are consistently excellent, and are almost always on cask. Dave McLean has been a bit of a standard bearer for CAMRA over here, and he believes strongly in their ideals, and he makes a beer to prove it.
B) No offense, but I have a hard time believing that, out of all the amazing beer communities in Portland, Seattle, the Bay Area, San Diego, Denver, Philadelphia etc..., Minnetonka is the ONLY place in the whole country that can produce what your looking for. I just don't think you've looked in the right places yet.
re: barndog
I'd suggest Red Hook's ESB. It's not bad in a bottle, but they do cask at the Portsmouth, NH, brewery/pub. Their other facilities are in the Seattle area so I don't know what you can expect there.
Writing to you now as I'm in the UK drinking the goodstuff... Finding the genuine Brit style article is tough in the US. As most brewers here will tell you, even hauling a cask across Britain to the GBBF is taking a freshness and flavor chance. Add to this that nearly all product sent to the US (even oxymoronically a lot of cask ale) is flash pasteurized, killing the yeast and altering the taste. Hence to get the real taste dividend, as in the case of the late-lamented Sherlock's Home, it pretty much has to be brewed here. If you happen to pass through Denver, there's a place called Bull and Bush that fits the bill, with everything brewed on site and they've been doing it for a hell of a long time. There's American and Belgian style there too, but English is the staple and cask is always up. If you get to Great Waters in St. Paul, the product is largely English and the cask usually supplies their best offerings. Town Hall in Minneapolis also has two cask pours at any given time, usually one English and one a more highly hopped product like Masala Mama, their big award-winner. In New York City, Alex Hall produces four cask ale festivals a year at Brazen Head in Brooklyn and Chelsea in Manhattan often featuring UK beers from Dark Star (check www.gotham-imbiber.com ; he lists all NYC cask offerings updated in a timely fashion. So it's there, but you gotta look for it.
re: BeerSensei
I did get to Bull & Bush but their cask was not good. With cheap XAtlantic fares the solution appears to be the one you have settled on. I was thinking of going to the Chlsea cask festival but something got in the way that stopped me. Great Waters is a place I never went to when Sherlock's was in biz for what would have been the point (and actually may not have been open until just after their demise). It certainly sounds one of the best possibilities. I've often thought that the cask-ale clientele of Sherlock's had to find a new place to find it in the metroplex or go insane. I have not been back to MSP since the loss of Sherlock's. A long time so it's probably time to think about a revisit. In spite of the implausibility of Minnesota-as-cask-ale-mecca in the US . . . somehow I think Sherlock's legacy lives on in that regard and it is.
re: bishopsbitter
I'm of the impression that the Bull & Bush discontinued cask sales maybe a year ago, or even before that. I had numerous cask-conditioned pints of their Tower ESB that were excellent. Also a few that were past it, and one or two that had turned palpably bad My belief was that they couldn't sell enough of even the smaller firkin (pin?) to be able to ensure quality, and so they did the regrettable but correct thing and discontinued the method of dispense.
Tower ESB is still good, as a kegged draft, usually (I've has a couple butter-bombs) but I understand how and why it fails to meet your requirements when served in that fashion.
re: bishopsbitter
The New England Real Ale Exhibition (www.nerax.org) is happening next week (3/25 - 3/38, 2009)!
Catch a flight to Boston/Logan and take the "T". Directions are on the NERAX site.
If you find yourself in San Francisco, head over to the Thirsty Bear, which has a cask conditioned imperial stout on offer. On Tuesday's during happy hour it's $3 for an imperial pint. Quite tasty, in my opinion. If that doesn't slake your thrist, you can try your luck at 21st amendment or beer store on folsom, which has several interesting ales on tap and has bottles for sale you can't find in a lot of places. If all this doesn't do it for you, head over to the toronado in the haight. If you can't find something acceptable there, you don't like beer

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. - Fire investigators say someone intentionally started an early morning fire in Punta Gorda.
A neighbor heard their dogs barking, went outside to check on them, and saw the blaze at a house off Oil Well Road. Investigators say no one was inside at the time.
The State Fire Marshal's office tells WINK News they are investigating this as arson and for a burglary.
This is the same house deputies and animal control officers were called to last April. That's when they arrested Pablo Cauz for animal abuse and drug charges.

Beauty Brands Need to Develop Greater Brand Identities for Emotional Connection, According to New Study
Sustainable Scents
By: Jeb Gleason-Allured
Posted: September 6, 2007
page 5 of 5Finally, the smelling session concludes with a lively gourmand scent—Cacharel Liberté. The fragrance—constructed by IFF perfumers Domitille Bertier and Olivier Polge—is built around the regional French sweet favorite, Chamonix a l'orange, which Labbé describes as "very addictive." The fragrance's bitter orange and patchouli heart was achieved through specific fractions, which resulted in a patchouli with a less rooty, camphoraceous character than is typical—less "dirty." Labbé explains that Liberté's orange scent includes both its freshness and candylike aspects. "It's a new way to work around with a chic kind of patchouli," she says.
"Sometimes," she continues, "we are very surprised with a new ingredient we have known for years—it smells different because the extraction [technique] is different. The possibilities are virtually endless."

The hefty price aside, the Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U is the most complete 802.11ac router to date, capable of satisfying all your home networking needs.
Microsoft Band is an ambitious first crack at a smart health wearable that throws in a ton of features and cross-platform support, but it's just not as easy to use or as functional as it should be.
At $13, it's really easy to forgive the few flaws the Mi Band has, though getting one will be challenging unless you're in China.
For advanced and professional users, the Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router is worth every penny thanks to its stellar performance, solid build, and bounty of useful features.
We really wanted to love the Microsoft Band, but right now this feature-packed band's mix of GPS, notifications and workout training is imperfect.
The Charge tracks steps and sleep, and does it well, but you really should wait for the heart-rate-tracking version next year. Here's why.
Tech research firm Gartner also says the number of smartwatch shipments will quadruple next year to 40 million, with as many as half coming from Apple.
Even when it's working well, the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has nothing to justify its expensive price tag.
Originally $129.99, this popular wrist-companion monitors your movements and sleep, then supplies you with a wealth of analytic data.
All-day heart rate tracking, UV sensors, downloadable workouts, sleep analysis, plus weather, Twitter, Facebook, and Starbucks: and it works on Windows, Android and iOS. Pretty impressive, Microsoft.

THURSDAY, April 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People plagued with insomnia might have an increased risk of stroke, particularly if they are young adults, a new, large study from Taiwan suggests.
Over the course of four years, researchers found that insomnia seemed to raise the likelihood that a person will be hospitalized due to stroke by 54 percent.
That risk skyrocketed for people between the ages of 18 and 34, who were eight times more likely to suffer strokes if they had insomnia when compared to their peers who got good sleep, the study found.
"We pay a lot of attention to high blood pressure, to obesity, to issues related to cholesterol. Those are known risk factors," said Dr. Demetrius Lopes, director of the Interventional Cerebrovascular Center at Rush University in Chicago and a spokesman for the American Heart Association. "But I think what is underrated is if you don't have a good sleep routine, how much it can harm you, especially at a young age."
The new study compared randomly selected health records of more than 21,000 people with insomnia and 64,000 without insomnia in Taiwan. None had a previous diagnosis of stroke or sleep apnea.
The findings were published in the May issue of the journal Stroke.
During the four-year follow-up, 583 insomniacs and 962 non-insomniacs were admitted to a hospital for stroke. After accounting for other factors, the researchers concluded that the people with insomnia had an increased stroke risk compared with those who slept well.
Researcher Ya-Wen Hsu, at Chia Nan University, and colleagues also found that the amount of insomnia a person suffers had a direct bearing on their apparent stroke risk.
People who suffered persistent insomnia had a higher risk of stroke than people with intermittent insomnia, and both groups were at greater risk than people whose insomnia stopped during the study.
Insomniacs also tended to suffer more from risk factors that can lead to stroke, including diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
While the study found an association between insomnia and higher stroke risk, it didn't prove cause-and-effect.
"We've seen that people who have sleep issues have other health factors that increase their risk for stroke," said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City. "This one behavioral issue, insomnia, has all these multiple factors associated with it that lead to an increased risk of stroke."
But does insomnia increase these other risk factors, or does an unhealthy lifestyle that increases a person's stroke risk also cause them to suffer insomnia?
It's likely a little of both, said Dr. Mark Urman, an attending cardiologist at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, in Los Angeles.
"It becomes a vicious cycle," Urman said. "When you aren't getting a good night's sleep again and again, it can contribute to other risk factors like blood glucose levels and high blood pressure." Those factors, in turn, promote further insomnia.
On the other hand, regular healthy sleep can be a boon to a person's health, Rush University's Lopes said. Sleep helps the body coordinate blood pressure, manage hormones and reduce stress, he noted.
"I think sleep is underrated in terms of its power, in how much healing occurs while you are sleeping," Lopes said.
One thing is clear from the study -- young adults are not as invincible as they might believe themselves to be, experts agreed. Late nights studying or partying could leave them at higher risk of being hospitalized for a stroke.
"No one gets a pass," Lenox Hill's Steinbaum said. "How we live our whole lives affects our cardiovascular health. It doesn't just start at age 50 or 60. It starts from the beginning of your life."

Variation in and irreversibility of platelet inhibition with clopidogrel has led to controversy about its optimum dose and timing of administration in patients with acute coronary syndromes. We compared ticagrelor, a more potent reversible P2Y12 inhibitor with clopidogrel in such patients.At randomisation, an invasive strategy was planned for 13 408 (72.0%) of 18 624 patients hospitalised for acute coronary syndromes (with or without ST elevation). In a double-blind, double-dummy study, patients were randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to ticagrelor and placebo (180 mg loading dose followed by 90 mg twice a day), or to clopidogrel and placebo (300-600 mg loading dose or continuation with maintenance dose followed by 75 mg per day) for 6-12 months. All patients were given aspirin. The primary composite endpoint was cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Analyses were by intention to treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00391872.6732 patients were assigned to ticagrelor and 6676 to clopidogrel. The primary composite endpoint occurred in fewer patients in the ticagrelor group than in the clopidogrel group (569 [event rate at 360 days 9.0%] vs 668 [10.7%], hazard ratio 0.84, 95% CI 0.75-0.94; p=0.0025). There was no difference between clopidogrel and ticagrelor groups in the rates of total major bleeding (691 [11.6%] vs 689 [11.5%], 0.99 [0.89-1.10]; p=0.8803) or severe bleeding, as defined according to the Global Use of Strategies To Open occluded coronary arteries, (198 [3.2%] vs 185 [2.9%], 0.91 [0.74-1.12]; p=0.3785).Ticagrelor seems to be a better option than clopidogrel for patients with acute coronary syndromes for whom an early invasive strategy is planned.

Diablo! I mean Torchlight! October 27, 2009Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Other PC Games.
Tags: Diablo, Mythos, Perfect World, Runic Games, Torchlight
Diablo ships today!
I mean Torchlight ships today!
Or whatever the electronic distribution equivalent term is, since they don't appear to be shipping physical boxes.
Torchlight! It was done by those guys who did Diablo!
I mean Mythos!
Wait, Mythos was done by some people who did Diablo.
And the same guy did that did the music for Diablo did the music for Torchlight!
But you get my point, which is that whenever we speak of Torchlight, we must also mention Diablo.
Diablo! Diablo! Diablo!
And in my view of the world, comparing it to Diablo, and bringing up the connections with Diablo, is saying something good about the game.
But I really liked Diablo.
And Torchlight does appear to have that Diablo feel to it, at least in the screen shots I have seen.
It has been a PC game drought for me this year. The only new title I purchased so far in 2009 has been Peggle. (Yay for being totally behind the curve on that one!)
So Torchlight, with all its Diablo connections, may be my second PC game purchase this year.
If they will let me purchase it. It is being sold through Perfect World, a Chinese MMO company with some ports in the US (Jade Dynasty, Ether Saga and Perfect World), and they seem to have an issue with my billing information.
They sent me an email telling me that they were sending me another email regarding a billing issue.
I never received that second email which had a key link I need to follow in order to solve this problem. Or so they said in the first email.
I did, however, receive a third email (which was right in the spam folder that I was watching just in case the second email showed up there) which told me that since I did not respond to the second email (which I am going to guess had some time limit associated with it) my transaction was being canceled and my money refunded.
They took my money, had a problem with it, and are now sending it back.
So Torchlight may not end up being my second PC game purchase this year.
And this billing snafu certainly does not bode well for me looking into the Torchlight MMO franchise that the team at Runic Games, the Diablo pedigreed developers of Torchlight, is talking about.
It does, however, give the publisher's name, Perfect World, something of an ironic twist for the moment.
Anyway, I'll see about trying to buy the game again this weekend. Perhaps they are suffering from the first day rush.
In the mean time, I'll just watch the game play video over at Game Bunny.
- 1. Danny - October 27, 2009
Use Steam!
- 3. Andrew - October 27, 2009
Buy it on Direct2Drive then, Mr. Anti-Steam.
- 5. P@tsh@t - October 27, 2009
Dang. No multiplayer?
- 7. Ramon - October 27, 2009
But it on Gamersgate, then :)
- 9. bluelinebasher - October 27, 2009
Do they take Paypal? I had trouble with GOG.com for international billing reasons, and Paypal got through that without any problems.
- 10. bluelinebasher - October 27, 2009
I somehow missed where you mentioned paypal in your post — see it in the comments…disregard.
- 12. Stabs - October 27, 2009
I don't think I'd be inclined to buy a Diablo I clone this close to the release of Diablo 3.
By "close" I mean I am expecting it some time in the next six months and will be mildly surprised not to see it by the end of 2010.
- 14. Andrew - October 27, 2009
I'm fighting the urge to buy this game. Have been all week. Kill Ten Rats ain't helping….. they just posted a brief memo on it – bastards.
If I buy it I'll be sure to use Steam for you, Wilhelm. =) Maybe I'll gift you a copy :P
- 15. kaozz - October 27, 2009
I loved Mythos, this one looks pretty interesting.
- 16. We Fly Spitfires - October 28, 2009
I bought it from Direct2Drive and had no problems. Just hope I can install the same copy & key on my laptop.
Oh and Andrew… give in to your urges! :D
- 17. JoBildo - October 28, 2009
For what it's worth, the game for me is more than worth the hassle you might endure in getting it. It's like 1999 all over again… that is when D2 came out right?
In any case, not only is the core game solid fun, but the level editor should wind up giving the game plenty of extra life until D3 or the TL MMO hits in the next year or two.
- 18. Stabs - October 28, 2009
Having watched BlizzCon, Blizzard said they only expected to ship StarCraft 2 and Cataclysm in 2010.
A December 2009 release for Diablo 3 would fit in with this statement perfectly.

I love the banner for their features:

Would love to hear how you like it Wilhelm. I'm in if you say it's worth it. But I too will need a non-Steam method. Steam is just evil.

LOL, that much evil would surely be havoc throughout the universe.

Chicharito is hoping for a trophy-winning debut season at United, and looking forward to getting back to winning ways in the league…
How do you assess your season so far? Has it gone better than you expected?
I'm very lucky to be here, and happy to have played so much for the biggest team in the world. I'm really enjoying myself and hope to play a part in the team winning trophies this year. My first season has gone better than I could have hoped for. I was expecting to be on the bench and playing for the Reserves more, to introduce me to football in this country, so I'm delighted to have played so many games. Now I want more.
Do you seek advice from your team-mates and the manager?
All the players talk to me about things I can work on and improve in my game. That's a great thing about this club. I get advice from Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov on different areas of my game, but that's not just because they are different types of strikers, it's because they are different people. When the boss speaks to me, he always tells me to keep working and to keep the same mentality. He's happy because I am improving a lot.
You've scored [16] goals so far this season: have you set yourself a target?
I've never set myself a goals target; I don't like to put a number on it. All I want to do is win trophies with United, because this is a team game. Of course, I enjoying scoring goals and that's my role as a striker, but I always say that goals are a consequence of teamwork.
Last time out in the league we lost to Liverpool. What do you think went wrong?
The game came at the end of two difficult weeks in which we played three other away games. We got the draw in Marseille and the win at Wigan, but lost at Chelsea and that may have affected our confidence a little. And at Liverpool, two mistakes cost us the game. But we are still in three competitions and we want to win them all, so we have

Number of Servings: 48
1 box red velvet cake mix
1 jug (16oz) cream cheese frosting
1 package chocolate almond bark
Bake red velvet cake per instructions on box. Once baked, let sit out to cool for 5 minutes. In bowl, crumble cake and mix cream cheese frosting until pasty. Roll into 48 inch sized balls onto a cookie sheet with wax paper or tinfoil for easy clean up. Freeze overnight in the freezer (could push a few hours if you're in a rush.) Take out of freezer and stick each with a toothpick. Melt chocolate bark until smooth. Dip each ball into the chocolate bark and shake off excess. Place back on cookie sheet until hardened. Serve then or take to your family holiday.

shut down during restart after update
bought a pc from a friend with win 7 prem installed, started dl'in my window 7 updates, get em all dled and asks to restart, so i try and restart the machine gets all the way through the applying updates screen screen goes black for awhile but never restarts the screen just stays black and i can hear that the machine is still on. during this black screen my munchkin thought it was a good idea to push the power switch on the back.
Now i try and start my pc and it isnt detecting my harddrive, isnt listed in the bios( or im just a tart and cant find it?) and the machine hangs at verifying dmi pool data.
so um yeah...lol help please?

When you get the system back please ask the tech what the issue was. It sure sounds like a failing Hard Drive.
