Get yourself to Wilkos, they have loads of gear to get you started and the prices are pretty good too
[I haven't actually gotten round to brewing my own yet, but that's where I'll eventually buy my gear from when I finally have the cash!]
My fella has a developed a bit of a thing for Ales, Porters and Stouts. On his Christmas list he's asked for a brewing kit (he specified Porter or Stout)
Can anyone recommend a starter kit? Something he can maybe develop/upgrade(?) eventually? I'm sure there are plenty out there, i just haven't had a look yet, but was wondering if ayone had any recommedations first.

oh! Good to know, thanks!
Larger Tescos store also sell the kits.
But basically you need a large plastic spoon, a large bucket, some sanitiser and a siphon.
Persoanlly from experience I would buy them seperately probably because then you can but a better siphon that will stop bits going into the bottles.
As for the "beers", honestly I would go toa brew shop if one was close and buy a more expensive one. There is also 2 tins (very little extra suger needed) or 1 tin kits that need brewers sugar too normally, although different kits in that respect are well different. 2 tins are usually better though.
Bottles are the msot expensive if he hasn't kept loads yet, you need about 40 500ml bottle per brew, caps are cheap but get a decent capper, it makes life so much easier!
Be prepared for some of the worst smells you can imagine when he's making beer. You have to boil this thick, treacle like stuff and then put in hops (looks like potpourri) and boil for a bit longer and it smells like burnt marmite!
It is a fun pastime though and the beer can turn out rather good.
EDIT: Second the decent capper tip - the very basic ones that you can get that are basically a metal cup you bang on with a mallet are awful (think broken bottles). You need a proper mechanical one, or easier is proper 'beer-grade' plastic bottles with screw tops.

yeah go for two-tin kits, generally better than one-tin kits
If you can find a Coopers Stout kit it comes out exactly that same as they make at the brewery. I know this to be true as I used to drink Coopers and tried the kit out once. In the end, I found it easier to go to the bottle-o and buy it. ("Bottle-o" - Aussie for drive through off licence. I wish they had them here in Blighty.)
You want:
Fermenting bin to start with: Wilko Fermenting Bin and Lid 25lt at wilko.com
Pressure barrel for the second stage: Wilko Pressure Barrel 23L/40 Pints at wilko.com
Siphon for moving between the two: Wilko Siphon Pack at wilko.com
Long spoon for stirring: Wilko Long Plastic Spoon at wilko.com
Steriliser for keeping everything clean (seriously, always be clean, if you are in good habits with steriliser you will never get a bad batch): Wilko Cleaner/Steriliser 100g at wilko.com
If you want to bottle it, use these caps and this capper, although tbh I just drink it straight from the pressure barrel Wilko Bottle Cap Metal Beer 50 at wilko.com & Wilko Capper Boxed at wilko.com (you need to bottle if you think it will take you longer than two weeks to drink 40 pints though - leaving it in the pressure barrel means it keeps fermenting, and eventually it ends up All Alcohol and No Taste. You don't need to buy bottles, just rinse out empty ale bottles, sterilise and recap them)
Then take your pick from one of these kits: Cider & Beer Brewing | wilko.com and use a 1kg bag of normal sugar. One of the single tin solutions will be plenty fine, I usually brew from them, and it'll be a bit simpler for his first brew (two tin solutions are great for his second/third attempt). Brewers sugar will help the beer clear quicker but it's not necessary, normal granulated works fine.
You should just about break even on cost of all that kit versus buying 40 pints this first time; the second time, you spend a tenner on the kit & sugar and that's it. 25p a pint is good plus it's an easy present in future to just get him a kit.
All the above is proper homebrew kit to continue with once you get in the habit of it - some of the "starter kits" you get are only good for that system, for wont of a better word, whereas all the above will stand you in good stead for years to come. With some demijohns and airlocks you can start brewing wine as well, which is incredibly straightforward and cheap - just takes a bit more patience, 6 months opposed to 6 weeks. For reference, those homebrew kits take about two weeks in the bin then four weeks to clear in the pressure barrel, then you have a two week window to drink unless (as mentioned) you bottle it.
Homebrew is easy, delicious and entertaining. He'll love it

I have all that basic equipment and that same capper and it works well don't forget to sterilise the caps as well as the bottles.
hop,grape, brew, wine making kits,home brew is a good site and I have SIMPLY EXPORT STOUT - Home Brew Kits, beer kits, wine kits for Beer Making and homebrew Wine Making at HopandGrape.com sitting in a box at home just calling for me to make it.
Thanks sonofsanta, I've just spent my birthday money of all of the equipment you suggested. I'm sure my missus will be delighted...
Can the fermentation process take place in an area such as a cellar (which is a little bit damp) or does it have to be in completely dry conditions? Also, when you are bottling/capping the ale, will there be yeast in the final brew or does this settle at the bottom of the pressure barrel? I also heard that adding malt extract instead of 1Kg sugar is fine. Is that true?
got kit at home and made cider over sept-october with my dad this was all from our apple trees and got about 300l-500l and my god where were in wasp heaven at the time.
I don't think dampness matters as the pressure barrel is sealed (for the pressure to build up so you don't get flat beer) but the temperature wants to be between 18-24C for the yeast to do its thing. If it's the lower end of the scale it will ferment more slowly, and if it's too high it can kill the yeast, but it's not a difficult temperature range to keep as 18-24 is about comfortable for people in a house, so fermenting indoors usually means you're ok. If your cellar is warm enough to stand in in just a t-shirt you should be fine, if it's too cold you may need to move it indoors or get a heating belt.
There's yeast but it settles out at the bottom; be careful moving anything with yeast in so you don't stir it up, and leave a bit at the bottom. When I drink out of the pressure barrel there's usually a couple of pints at the bottom that don't look too tasty, but if you've just drunk 38 it's hard to get too worked up over it
(Incidentally, the dregs that are left are excellent for washing hair.)
Malt extract: no idea, never used it maybe someone else knows.
bandgeekmafia78 (11th December 2013)
Home brewing is fun. Be warned, it is addictive as he develops a taste, adjusts things and makes more and more (I got told off for having near 700 ltrs of beers). It became a present for neighbours last christmas, think each on in our culdesac got about 12 bottles each, some asking for more as it was good.
Also worth noting...a steam cleaner is the best way to sanitise them, any chemicals will spoil the beer. Also if he wants to ferment anything from say a beer to a heavier drink, worth investing in a demi-john. I did my fair share of making pear and apple cider brandy.
Always leave the bottom of the barrel stuff, its where the "sludge" accumulates and any going into the bottles is not pleasant.
Malt extract is fine, but should really be done if brewing a spirit or a bitter.

The Worst Company to Work for in America
I'll never forget my second radio job away from home -- 1996-97 in Pittsburgh. The closely held Hearst Corporation called an all-staff meeting at WTAE. They were selling most of their radio properties to a company called SFX (which later went to Clear Channel).
Back then, I had no time to deal with and no idea how to process human emotion, so I silently ridiculed the people around me who started crying upon hearing the news. For me, it was radio. You go into the business expecting to get fired. Shake it off.
Mind you -- nobody got fired that day. We were just told that there would likely be some layoffs once the deal went through.
That didn't matter. I got on the phone with a consultant friend and, within six months, I had a new gig.For whatever reason, that scene of Elaine -- she was the general manager's secretary -- crying and tears welling up in people's eyes who had worked for Hearst for years stuck with me. Whenever I hear about bank tellers or old radio friends losing their jobs on what amount to execution lines, I think of that day in Pittsburgh. And I wonder how bank executives and radio CEOs can sap their employees' spirits and crush livelihoods as part of their job descriptions and get paid incredibly well for it. It just doesn't seem fair. I guess I had "good" timing. While I was anticipating more layoffs at Clear Channel, I did not expect them today. However, they came and they came hard. RadioInfo.com has details of personnel cuts made at scores of Clear Channel radio stations. Mind you, this is hardly a complete list and, more importantly, it "only" lists the on-air staff, producers and other high-profile employees. This list does not include other talent let go, including programming support staff. Follow @rocco_thestreet -- Written by Rocco Pendola in Santa Monica, Calif.

RAD-1 Digital Audio Inclinometer
The RAD-1 is a precise Digital Inclinometer that features user-programmable maximum safe angles, and a progressive warning tone (like a backup warning). The display shows X (Pitch) and Y (Roll) angles and stores max values, but it's the audio warning that really makes it useful. If you ever go off-road, you'll be surprised and amazed by how useful this meter is.
Important Disclaimer: This product will in no way intervene and prevent a rollover. It may warn you when you approach extreme or potentially unsafe angles, however, every vehicle is different, as are the terrain, environment and the driver. No device can do more than give a visual and audible warning in regard to angles. Safe driving is up to you, the driver. This device is a tool and a gauge, and it is meant to inform (and entertain) you as you learn about your vehicle.
Each character display will show a range from 0 degrees up to a maximum of 60 degrees for both X and Y axes'. The unit will have a progressive audio alert indicating the unit is approaching a maximum angle which has been preset by user, and is factory preprogrammed to begin audio alert beep sequence when unit is tilted at angle 14 degrees less than user programmed set point. For example, if user sets 35 degrees as maximum angle then the RAD-1 starts beeping at 21 degrees. Beeping becomes progressively faster as final set point is approached according to the following sequence:
21 degrees, beeper starts @ 1 second intervals
24 degrees, beeper increases rate to 1/2 second intervals
27 degrees, beeper increases rate to 1/4 sec intervals
30 degrees, beeper becomes steady tone
The 14 degree range will be factory set and whatever final degree set point the user chooses the beep sequence will begin 14 degrees prior and then become a steady tone 5 degrees prior to that point.
In addition to the steady audio alert that begins when the angle is within 5 degrees of the user set point, each display also begins to flash when this same angle point is met for each axis.
Volume Control
Volume is controlled by hitting the left (X Axis ) button. The display will then show "Vo" and volume can be changed by pressing the right (Y Axis) button.
Maximum Safe Angle Values
maximum safe angle values can be user-programmed by user through front-panel mounted push buttons.
Maximum Angle Recall
Maximum angle measured during operation can be recalled and displayed. This is very useful in learning your rig, especially how it behaves in compound angle situations. Excellent tool for both beginners and experts for learning the behavior of your rig and provide accurate data to support what you already believe.
Display brightness
Display brightness can be adjusted via the front panel buttons.
Power can be turned off by pressing the right button for 2 seconds. Power can be turned on by pressing the right button briefly.
Vehicle mounting
The RAD-1 ships with Velcro for dash mounting. Optional window-mount suction cup accessories can be purchased separately to provide additional mounting options.
The RAD-1 ($179) comes complete with the unit, manual, cigarette-power adapter, and Velcro for mounting.
Notes: The RAD-1 has no serial capability, nor can it log data for viewing and/or comparing with LogWorks. Although "RAD" is an acronym for "Rollover Avoidance Device," this product will in no way intervene and prevent a rollover. It may warn you when you approach extreme or potentially unsafe angles, however, every vehicle is different, as are the terrain, environment and the driver. No device can do more than give a visual and audible warning in regard to angles. Safe driving is up to you, the driver. This device is a tool and a gauge, like any useful meter.
Installation and Setup
Installation of the RAD-1 is simple. Complete documentation is supplied, and the support pages, user forum, videos, application notes and tuner resources can also speed you on your way. Innovate also has a great network of local dealers, tuners, race shops, and dyno shops that can assist you in choosing, installing, and getting the most out of your Innovate products.

Here's Britney Spears on a photo shoot in LA yesterday that will inevitably push the boundaries of our current airbrush technology. Don't get me wrong, Britney looks great after all she's been through. It takes a lot of work to go from gelatinous ball of crazy to average stripper body. I mean, just the sheer discipline alone, my God.
Britney Spears in a bikini
She looks like a hillbilly.
aaaahhh! fIRST, FIRST!
Actually she looks awesome. Best she has in years. Let's give props where props are due.
God damn she looks good.
I want to do very bad things to her.
pic nº 17. puajjjjj!!!
3 & 4, you guys would prob do ur own grandma!
Looking nicely doable. Certainly not as good as the pre-Federline years, but I'd definitely pound it once (then run like hell). But what's up with Pic #9? Did she just pee herself a little? Or did she just get "moist" staring at the food table? "Oooo, Funions and Moon Pies!! mmmmmmm… Anybody got a cigarete?"
to me these photos have been touched up a little bit… there is no way he skin should look soft and firm… guyss.. we all have seen close up pics of her…
she looks fucking GOOD! anyone who is saying mean things — get the hell over it and accept the fact that she is getting back into shape!
I would smash that still.
@2 Laura – you are a twat
As for Britney, yeh!!!! she's fuckable again. Now if I could just talk her into it.
fish, this post is weak…she looks HOT!!!
I like how she has to bend completely over to gratuitously fling her hair back so she can put her hat on. As if she didn't know the cameras were on her. SO PLANNED!!
Oh, and she's wet in Pic 9. look at it
Eyes not bleeding … um, wow, she looks OK!
She doesn't look bad but she doesn't look good either. She looks like a man in drag pretending to be Britney Spears.Why do her shoulders look so big? She looks like a football player. Stomach looks good.
For all of you who are saying she looks good the fish needs to post a picture of Britney in a bikini in 2001 and Britney now in a bikini and see why some people still think she looks like a dog.
Despite being a loon … She's still sexy!
Horsey face, square body, thich, squat legs = DO NOT WANT.
Trailer park queen. Attractractive to guys with fat, rednecky mothers.
What a blob she is. Nasty skin too, and that's not even counting the huge scars that are being hidden. Her and Aniston are the most overrated looking women there are.
Looks like she's gonna make a porno.
I agree with #16 and #19. She doesn't look terrible, but she's thick with no tits. Not really any curves at all and she has a thick neck and wide linebacker shoulders. I would NEVER want that body.
fat arms but i'd fuck her
I repeat.
Wet moose knuckle – Pic 9
Fishey, Are you asleep? Can you give us the Heidi playboy cover? Please!
Now I'm convinced. The Superficial writer and most of the commentators on this site really are as gay as a guy can get. Seriously!
White ladies, you need legs like this.
Yeah , just what the world needs another pig that lets. her weight fluctuate because of lack of control. Congrats to the idiot that marries her. Just like all the other whores she will inflate at will
Apparently SOME people can't deal with the fact that woman is not lanky: she's muscular, that's her body build. You don't have to be attracted to it, but it in no way means she looks like a DOG. Personally, I think she looks great. Sure, I could go look at pictures from 2001…but I'd also be looking at someone much younger, before having 2 children and a much faster metabolism. Opinions are entitled, but it doesn't always mean your's are the right ones.
There you go Brit, a suit that doesn't reveal some of the areas you still need work. Why aren't celebrities more sensible like this?
no one truly changes
She's looks like a pig.
well she certainly has tightened up a bit.
I don't care what anyone says…she is one frumpy lookin bitch. Her body is square shaped with no curves and her face is just completely busted.
Brittney who?????
i'd do it again and again.
To the jello tub for a death match with Brooke and Brit I say!
The grandma hat and the red fuck me in the pewper shoes really accentuate whatever she's trying to accomplish…and that's pretty much a bunch of guys with limp dicks in their hands wondering why nothing is happening. I'm surprised I didnt see LiLo hiding in the backdrop doing lines of blow while on twitter.
Love watching this bitch try to make up for her short, stubby legs with massive heals and platforms… and she still looks stubby.
She looks hot– so many of you are such haters! I mean, what kind of dillusioned, anorexic, supermodel standards are we setting for celebrities these days?
She actually looks decent here. But she looks like she's is absolutely hating it.
No smiles anywhere and she looks awkward just standing there.
Man, she got that perfect amout of thickness! woot
When you remember how she looked 4 or 5 years ago… you can understand all current criticism.
@40…her legs has ALWAYS been larger, its because she has been a dancer for over a decade and she has ridiculous quads, when she puts on a little weight, obviously they look bigger but even in her pre-fed years she had a frikin 6 pack and 8 percent bodyfat and STILL had big legs. called muscle memory and dancing for hours every day.
and @41. I take offense to that anorexic comment, NOT ALL models have eating disorders hello. alot of them are naturally that thin cuz uh…DUH theyre 6 feet tall, and most of em you dont see all their bones popping out.
Im 5 4 and 89 pounds and I am NOT anorexic, its called GENETICS people.
I would kill to have her body. She's not too skinny, and she's certainly not fat. For all of you saying she's overweight or ugly–if a girl like that walked up to you & said let's fuck, are you really going to pass it up? Although, I'm assuming most of you haters are just jealous because you're fat & ugly, so she'd probably pass you up, anyway. She's hot. Get over it.
She looks good here, but she's damaged goods because she was fucking a filthy, disgusting, smelly turbanhead. As a white woman, she's useless.
The chick doing her makeup has better legs.
The chick doing her makeup has better legs. Back of the legs look cottage-cheesy. She needs a little more 'surgical intervention' in that area. Ohh and a lobotomy.
@ 1,what do you mean looks like ? she is a fucking hillbilly !!!

After a week of national interviews, radio and television appearances, Crist will launch his book tour in Ft. Myers, Florida, on the fifth anniversary of "The Hug" – the fateful moment in Crist's career when he figuratively and literally embraced President Barack Obama and his stimulus program and, in doing so, began the popular centrist's travel along a path that would see him leave the GOP and become a Democrat.

Distillers Replaces Corn
From agweb home page:
Feed Formulators Turn to Distillers Grains to Replace Corn
April 26, 2011

Distillers Byproduct Boosts Bad-Hay Nutrients
Demand for dietary energy in feed rations is pulling distillers grains into feed formulas in place of corn, but also displacing some soybean meal in the process.
The biggest product distillers grain is replacing is actually corn, said Jim Ringo, director of marketing for distillers dried grains and corn oil at Renewable Products Marketing Group, LLC, Shakopee, Minn.
Recent weakness in soybean and soybean meal prices relates more to South America's crop than to competition from distillers grains.
May soybean meal futures climbed since June to their highs in early February, but backed off since then, and December futures are moving sideways in recent weeks. Soybean futures followed similar but more moderate patterns.
May corn futures slipped from their highs set earlier this month, while December futures kept climbing.
Distillers grains carry significantly more protein than cornabout 30 percent for the dried, processed product versus 8 or 9 percent for cornso distillers grains replace some protein that might have come from soybean meal. However, In today's market environment, the shortage is for carbohydrates and fats, said Ringo.
When nutritionists formulate feedlot, swine, or poultry rations using distillers grains in place of some corn, They're not necessarily thinking about displacing protein, he said. However, they remove some soybean meal to balance the rations.
In dairy rations, distillers grains do replace soybean meal or other proteins, and the energy and fiber from distillers grains provide a secondary benefit, said Ringo. Dairy nutritionists for many years have limited the levels of distillers grains in rations because corn oil in the processed product could depress butterfat content in milk. However, many ethanol plants now extract that oil, so Ringo expects more distillers grains will go into dairy feeds.
Close to saturation
Much of the increase in feeding products from ethanol plants occurred in past years, said Mark Ash, an oilseed specialist at USDA's Economic Research Service. We're probably getting close to saturation levels for how much distillers dried grains you can incorporate into feed rations in the United States, said Ash. It's probably replacing more of the corn in rations now.
However, soybean meal has competition from increased supplies of several competing ingredients.
We certainly have a lot of supply of cottonseed this year and that has provided some competition for soybean meal, said Ash. USDA estimates the U.S. supply of cottonseed from the 2010 crop at 3.29 million tons, up nearly two-thirds from two years ago. But cottonseed prices have risen since last summer to one-year highs in some U.S. markets this month. August-January imports of canola meal from Canada increased 42 percent from a year earlier.
Prices for many grain-based feed ingredients also climbed while soybean and meal prices softened in recent months. Midwestern corn gluten feed prices soared from $40 to $60/ton in railcars last May and June to $140 to $165 last week. Eastern Iowa dried distillers grain prices shot from about $100 per ton last June to $205 to $212 in recent weeks.
Less domestic soy, corn demand
Domestic feed demand for soybean meal and corn have both declined in recent years. USDA expects U.S. soybean meal demand to reach 30.5 million tons this year, off slightly from last year, continuing the decline from the peak of nearly 31.2 million tons in 2006-07. Domestic corn feed and residual use peaked at 6.16 billion bushels in 2004-05 and is projected at 5.15 billion bushels this year, about steady from last year.
Meanwhile, U.S. distillers grains production soared from 9 million metric tons in 2005 to 32.5 million in 2010, reported the Renewable Fuels Association. While beef and dairy cattle have provided the major domestic markets, USDA reported that exports surged from about 1 million metric tons in 2005 to nearly 5.5 million tons in 2009.
Distillers grains output moderating
Growth in distillers grain production is easing, wrote USDA economists in December. Linwood Hoffman and Allen Baker projected that production will increase from 33.3 million metric tons in 2009-10 to 38.6 million metric tons in 2019-20.
Average dried distillers grain prices had run at a premium to corn prices for the decade through August 2006, but in the past four marketing years they have averaged a discount to corn, reported Hoffman and Baker. They said that as distillers grains became more of an energy feed, soybean meal prices lost some of their past connection to distillers grains prices.

I have only been saying this forever.
In a beef cattle feedlot distillers replaces 20% of the corn and all the protein which is cheaper than CSM or SBM.
In a dairy ration you can not exceed 5% fat. So, you need distillers from a wet grind plant that removes the corn oil.
USDA is totally oblivious of this on their Corn S&D reports.
USDA needs to provide a Corn Distillers S&D just like they do for SBM.
Exports of distillers are soaring.
Corn ethanol does NOT raise the price of food. When distillers replaces 20% of the corn and supplies all the protein cheaper than CSM or SBM, it makes beef cheaper in the grocery store than if you had to use 20% more corn and higher priced protein.

I've long supporterd DDG's and Ethanol and still do but in my mind it is NOT a game changer. Right now, DDG's and SBM on a price per point of CP are basically even.....take the fat out and my guess is DDG's will be higher in $/CP. DDG's will only increase in price as SBM increases in price.....and will go up in price as corn goes up in price as ethanol plants will look to recover the cost of corn in the DDG's.

48 you said--Corn ethanol does NOT raise the price of food. When distillers replaces 20% of the corn and supplies all the protein cheaper than CSM or SBM, it makes beef cheaper in the grocery store than if you had to use 20% more corn and higher priced protein.[/QUOTE]
So you are saying feeding DDG's instead of corn makes beef cheaper? I would agree with that, but how does that mean ethanol doesn't raise the price of food? If I had a bushel of corn and feed it to a hog would that be just as much feed as if that same bushel went to a ethanol plant and you recieved the left over bushel in DDG's?

Always remember, you can't create energy. 1 bushel of corn has X number of calories/btu's/whatever unit of measure you want to go with. 1 bushel of corn producers, what's the number now, 2.8 gal or something like that of ethanol? So take 2.8 gal of ethanol worth of btu's/cal's/whatever plus whatever losses from refining from your original bushel and what you have left is how many btu's/cals of distillers and whatever else.
In a totally free market all that would matter is if ethanol could be refined cheaper than fossil fuels. That's basically it. There are tons of variables, but the convenient thing about free markets is that the market would figure it out a lot easier than any mathematician or professor.

If you happen to be a farmer who has planted more cotton and soybeans than corn you have been a loser from ethanol sector as a result of DDG impact on domestic demand for soymeal and cottonseed meal. Each ton of 27% protein DDG that replaces a ton of 8% protein corn in a feed ration reduces the demand for soymeal by 0.6 tons. That is main reason U.S. soymeal ddemand has fallen by 3.2 mmt in last 5 years.

Except that the price of bean meal and soybeans themselves is in the record high territory. If there was a serious impact from a competiting commodity, prices would fall.

With current price of DDG's and SBM it is a almost a wash right now which is a cheaper protein source. The only thing in DDG's favor right now is that it is high in P. But if you have other feeds high in P, and you don't need supplemental P, SBM is CHEAPER to feed even at these high prices. $240/T for DDG's to expensive, compared to SBM @ $380/T, unless you also want a source of P.

Hampton Golf Reviews
"This company is the epitome of wasted potential "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Hampton Golf full-time (less than an year)Pros
Scheduling flexibility, friendly people, a lot of golf related perks (free golf, discounted merchandise).Cons
Lack of accountability, communication and respect for customers on all levels within the company.
Each dissatisfied customer is viewed as "It's just ONE customer, so who cares?" Most customers have a stuck up attitude and feel like they are entitled to getting everything for free as a favor, comp or perk. In similar fashion, most (not all) in management have a similar attitude and will make the absolute least amount of effort to resolve any issues. Even if they know it is a temporary solution, they will walk away as if it's not going to happen again and then act surprised when they have to deal with it again.
Employees arrive late without repercussions. Many times the customer service center is left without leadership, even in high volume situations when problematic scenarios are not only possible, but expected. Not just not available, but completely off-site. VP's, Customer Service Managers and all (read both) of IT will leave and assume everything will be okay.
There are rarely any hard deadlines. Everything is treated as "It's fine. Not a big deal." No sense of urgency whatsoever. If given a project, you have to ask for a deadline and even then you can go weeks without so much as a peep about it. You have to stay on top of everyone to get an answer to anything or you'll never hear about it again.
If they would raise the bar just a tad, this company would improve dramatically, but I don't think anyone there can even understand what that would look like. Some of them haven't had any previous experience in the roles they have, so they don't know any other way. Expect people to show up on time and do their jobs. Take care of each customer as if it's the last customer you'll ever get. Yes, efficiency sometimes costs money up front, but the reward is well worth the expense. Just because it's the cheapest way to do something doesn't mean it's the best way.
Last, but certainly not least: I don't care where you come from, how much money you make or who you know. Everyone deserves a certain level of respect. It doesn't matter if they are your customer or they are providing you with a service. It doesn't matter what they look like or what they sound like. You treat everyone with the same respect you would like them to show to you. If a customer calls to complain, how would you want to be treated if you were the one calling? If an employee has a question, do your job and answer the question. Just because it isn't important to you doesn't mean it isn't important and relevant to the them.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Think back to other businesses you've worked for. Remember that certain level of professionalism that was always present every day in every meeting and interaction? It was there for a reason. It's called a standard. If you have no standards, you end up like Hampton Golf.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) has warned Palestinian employees that they could be sacked if they become involved with political factions in the Gaza Strip, reports say.
Unrwa, which provides food aid, education, and health care for many of the 1.4 million Gazans, is a major source of employment in the Palestinian territory.
Unrwa apparently warned employees that advertising their political affiliations risked violating the impartiality commitment of the agency. The warning was made after the election of the agency's trade union chairman ended on Monday, the Haaretz newspaper reported on Thursday.
The union will be led by Fatah affiliates for the first time in 12 years, but Hamas is claiming its party members were the real winners, the newspaper said.
Although most Unrwa employees voted for Hamas-affiliated candidates, Fatah affiliates will lead the union because of a special representation system, which carves up the electorate into three unequally-sized constituencies, Haaretz said.'Worrisome situation'
Although the candidates' political affiliations were known to the voters, the candidates are not officially aligned with any party, as this would conflict with Unrwa regulations on impartiality.
John Ging, Unrwa's director of operations, said that those elected stand to lose their jobs unless they disassociate themselves from political parties.
Analysis and features from after the war
Hamas, which some believe has lost popular support after Israel's 22-day offensive on Gaza, has been especially vocal in declaring victory in the union election.
The organisation's media stated that 63 per cent of all voters voted for Hamas candidates, who won 17 out of the 27 board seats in the three sectors.
Fatah supporters, meanwhile, announced that their comrades had won five out of nine seats in the trade union's executive council, giving them the power to appoint the chairman, deputy chairman and secretary, Haaretz said.Political propaganda
During his three years in Gaza, Ging has taken steps to limit political involvement by Unrwa employees.
He sought to end political propaganda within schools, and to bar employees from making political or bellicose statements to the media.
Ging's letter, which Haaretz said he sent to a small group of employees, noted that parties "hostile" to Unrwa have over the past few years advertised the victory of various political candidates within internal Unrwa elections.But he wrote that the 2009 election was the first time that such declarations came from people inside the Strip, giving their statements added credibility, according to Haaretz.
About 10,000 people took part in the election, including 7,000 educational workers, 2,000 heath and administrative workers and 1,000 manual labourers.

In respect of #ThrowbackThursday, let's pay a fashion tribute to some of my favourite 90s teen flicks. If you're about my age, you probably remember these films (because they were so awesome!). Otherwise, download them on iTunes Store and enjoy your 90s teen flick marathon this weekend. Whether you like it or not, there is a 90s revival going on in the fashion world. Let's take a trip down memory lane and pay our respects to the original 90s style:
#1: Empire Records (1995)
Cropped sweaters. Plaid skirts. Oversized t-shirts. Empire Records' style still holds true today. This film defined music and Liv Tyler. I'm still grooving to Reese Witherspoon singing "Sugarhigh" till this day and dreaming of cropped sweaters.
#2: Cruel Intentions (1999)
I watched Cruel Intentions tonight via Fox Movies Play and it all came back to me… Ryan Phillippe was so hot and Kathryn Merteuil is a bigger bitch than Blair Waldorf. From Kathryn's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) sexy power suit to Cecile Caldwell's (Selma Blair) innocent getups, Cruel Intentions is 99% sexy and 1% evil. Who knew that clothes can tell you so much about a person?
#3: Romeo + Juliet (1996)
From the first time the duo met at the Capulet's costume party, Romeo + Juliet captured my heart with their whirlwind romance and tore it apart within 90 minutes. I thought Juliet's (Claire Danes) wedding dress was simply beautiful yet age-appropriate. Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) stayed true to his Caribbean-style with the floral tie and sharp navy suit. I watched this again last night and wept like a baby (we all know how this movie ends!).
#4: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Heath Ledger… sigh. You are missed dearly. Based on Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew", 10 Things I Hate About You is such a lovable teen flick. I think I've seen this film like 15 times or more. Kat Stratford's (Julia Stiles) slinky blue dress is still very relevant today. But, she's gotta lose those curls.
#5: Clueless (1995)
You can't talk about fashion in 90s teen flicks without Clueless (as if!). Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) and her posse changed the face of fashion in film before Sex and the City. True story! We all know the outrageous school outfits by heart. Essentially, the girls can't live without their mini skirts, knee-high socks and sweaters over shirts. Très chic!
#6: Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
I lovvveeeeee this film so much when I was a teenager. In fact, I hunted for a baby blue tank top and blue skirt so I can pretend to be Jennifer Love Hewitt. Strangely, Can't Hardly Wait inspired me to write my first confessional letter. He never got the letter. I guess he doesn't need it now.

The House and Senate plan to begin their 10 day Thanksgiving recess. Between November 17 and November 27, most Senators and Representatives will be in their state and district offices.
As members of Congress head home for the holiday still left unresolved in a House-Senate conference is the Domenici-Wellstone mental illness parity amendment to the FY 2002 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education Appropriations bill (HR 3061).
When lawmakers return to Washington, Congressional leaders likely will push Appropriation's conferees to wrap up this bill which funds the federal departments of Labor-Health and Human Services and Education (including the Centers for Disease Control)
Anticipating the rush to adjourn after this recess, opponents of parity are already working hard to prevent House acceptance of the Senate's parity amendment. Since the 1996 parity law expired October 1, 2001 and has unlikely renewal prospects during next year's election season, this may be the LAST REAL CHANCE to bring an end to discrimination and ensure equitable insurance coverage for treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and other serious brain disorders.
NAMI advocates must contact their House member and senators and urge them to support the Domenici-Wellstone mental illness parity amendment to the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill. NAMI advocates should use any and all techniques to contact members of Congress over the next week, including:

An important religious festival among Christians; it commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus after his Crucifixion. Easter is celebrated on a Sunday in spring, and the season of Easter, a time of rejoicing, continues for several weeks. The penitential season of Lent is a time of preparation for Easter.
originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the Passover. In the early English versions this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word "passover" was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Act 12:4. In the Revised Version the proper word, "passover," is always used.

Capital Area School of Practical Nursing, Springfield Illinois - page 3
Any graduates of this program? Start in the fall and curious about the school....they have no website, so word of mouth for the school is all I have. Thanks for any insight.:spin:... Read More
- 0Apr 1, '08 by rnmomtobe2010I will be traveling form Sullivan to Springfield this fall for the program... It will be will worth it in the end and a dream come true for that matter.
- 0Apr 1, '08 by rnmomtobe2010Oh and I hope and pray that they have not changed editions because a friend of mine who just graduated gave me every single one of her books. What a blessing and I know it was by chance that we met.
- 0Jun 12, '08 by jaysunsgurlI am currently enrolled at CASPN, I take my last final for 2nd quarter tomorrow. This program is VERY intense. It has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. You have to really want to work hard and really want to be a nurse!! The best advice I can give anyone wanting to go to school at CASPN is to FOLLOW THE RULES!!! They are very strict and you will get dissmissed if you are not doing what you need to be doing! I've met alot of great people there and for the most part have had a great time. It's very fast paced though and if you fall behind it's nearly impossible to catch up, so if you are sure you want to do this I would try my hardest to not miss any classes and be ready to study EVERY night. I wanted to just work every other weekend but that was too much for me. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have

- 0Jul 15, '08 by capitalgrad08i graduated from there in Jan. great program and teachers. hard work long hours but so very worth it!!!!!
- 0Aug 22, '09 by KremeI am a student at the school currently. I know the school has been good before, but this year it seems like there's a huge turnover of staff, administration, and teachers. There are good teachers, and a lot of school is what you make it, but things are being handled really sloppily. Also, they're requiring you to be a CNA before you come here. Which is even less reason to come if you're not already one. I would just head down the street and get in LLCC.
- 0Aug 22, '09 by LadyashleydKreme, what seems to be the problem? Besides the high turnover ra te of staff, what is causing the program to go down hill? LLCC has a one year wait list for their RN program. Only handful of the pre reqs have to be done before one can apply, so the year on the waitlist could be spent finishing up pre reqs.
- 0Aug 30, '09 by KremeQuote from LadyashleydThe problem seems to be administration. It's somewhat unorganized. I'm sure every school has these problems and I every student body becomes disenchanted at some point. It just seems our class is getting hit hard this time around.Kreme, what seems to be the problem? Besides the high turnover ra te of staff, what is causing the program to go down hill? LLCC has a one year wait list for their RN program. Only handful of the pre reqs have to be done before one can apply, so the year on the waitlist could be spent finishing up pre reqs.
Considering the cost of this LPN program, the fact that there aren't as many jobs for LPNs in hospitals and the ones there are don't pay much. The incentive for going to this program was the fact that you didn't have to be a CNA. There aren't really many advantages to this program anymore. I would wait for LLCC.

config postfix to use different relay when reach different domain.
Can I config the ispconfig to use different relayhost when send email to different domain?
e.g.: all email send from firstname.lastname@example.com
to: email@example.com -> will use local trans to send.
to: firstname.lastname@example.com -> relay to mail.isp1.com to send.
to: firstname.lastname@example.com -> relay to mail.isp2.net to send.
if no match, will use default setting to send.
It should be possible to do that with postfix transports. You can set transports trogh the ispconfig interface.

Looks yummy, but seeing as how it's made with two ingredients I don't
consume (wine and hot peppers), I think any modifications I'd make would
turn it into another recipe, so I think I'll make my unnamed chicken
dish instead.
Hmmm... maybe I called it Chicken Provencal once upon a time? Anyway:
Brown chicken pieces in olive oil.
Toss a good amount of sliced onion into the hot pan.
Reduce the heat a bit.
Saute onions until they've begun carmelizing.
Toss in a few cloves of garlic, smashed and minced.
Splash in a little (2 teaspoons?) good red wine vinegar (to add a little
bite that would have come from wine if I could use it).
Toss in a nice amount of fresh rosemary, a few tablespoons of capers,
and a handful of kalamata olives or green olives if you don't have good
black olives.
Return chicken to pan.
Pour a 14 oz can of good chopped tomatoes (Muir Glen or the like) over
the top.
Cover and simmer low until the chicken is done.
Salt and FGBP to taste.
I'd serve it in a soup plate with some dark green veg that can stand up
to a flavorful dish -- broccoli? kale? zucchini? -- on its own dish. Or
a salad. And I'd have a tall glass of cold seltzer with it.
If I were eating with someone with a normal metabolism, I'd provide a
hot baguette so they could dunk chunks of bread in the juices. And I'd
probably sneak a small slice myself.

Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

Gas Prices Down 13 Cents To $3.59 Per Gallon In NJ
Gas prices in New Jersey took a nosedive thirteen cent decrease for a gallon of regular.
It is normal for the prices along the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway to either go up or down, but drivers this morning were happy to see the large decrease in cost.
Experts say that many gas stations see a decrease in price this time of year because they switch from a more expensive summer gas fuel to a less expensive winter fuel. That, combined with oil barrels costing less is saving you a few extra bucks when filling up.
However, the prices this time last year were actually 25 cents cheaper. So, you are still paying more at the pump than previous years.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Vt Law School lays off two, buys out 10The Associated Press | January 19,2013SOUTH ROYALTON The Vermont Law School has reduced its workforce by 12 people, laying off two and buying out 10 other workers.
Law school spokeswoman Carol Westberg said none of the workers were faculty members.
Westberg said the buyouts were offered to staff in November, with a deadline of Jan. 3 to accept.
The 10 who took buyouts from the South Royalton school have negotiated with the school when they will leave. The two laid-off workers have already left.
President Marc Mihaly told the Valley News that those who took the buyouts received severance packages based on the length of time they had worked at the school.
The downsizing was needed because the school has received fewer applications from potential students over the past three years.MORE IN Vermont NewsJOHNSON A Johnson man is being held on $75,000 bail after the Lamoille County Sheriffs...

Former Seaside Officer Focused On Getting Back to Normalcy | News
SEASIDE, Calif. – A day after former Seaside Police Officer Salvador Reynaga was acquitted of sexual abuse charges, his attorney said Reynaga is focusing on getting back to a normal life.
Reynaga, 32, was accused for sexually abusing six women while in uniform and on the job in 2011. On Tuesday, Central Coast News contacted Reynaga's attorney Jesse Ortiz who said at this time Reynaga is waiting to make a comment. The Sacramento-based attorney also said he'd rather be with his client when they talk with our station.
On the phone, Ortiz said Reynaga eventually wants to get back to work, "He's a police officer, that's what he does, and wants to wear that badge again."
Ortiz said Reynaga is working on getting back to normalcy and hopes this trial will not affect him down the road. Ortiz admits it's hard to say what will happen, but the jury made the right choice, his client is not guilty.
As for getting back to work at the Seaside Police Department, Ortiz said he's unsure of Reynaga's plans. We called the department, but were unable to reach Police Chief Vicki Myers for comment.

College and Career Readiness | News
Next year, high school juniors at the Lafayette (LA) Parish School System will get a chance to take a host of ACT and college and career readiness courses online to help them plug any skill gaps before graduation.
The course offer is the result of a partnership between the parish district and online course provider BenchPrep. The courses assess students as they progress and provide analytics and information back to their day-to-day instructors with suggestions on focus areas a given student needs work on. Courses are designed using gamification mechanics, and feature immediate feedback techniques, flashcard games, and student leaderboards.
"As the stakes for student success on the ACT continue to rise both for students and school districts in Louisiana, Lafayette Parish is looking for tools to help our students achieve to their highest potential on the ACT," said Randy Bernard, Academic Specialist at LPSS in a statement. "It is our hope that BenchPrep will become an important component in our learning toolkit for high school students."
The ACT course was designed in part by Craig Gehring, a Louisiana native who made perfect scores on both the ACT and the SAT and now runs his own ACT prep camp. Gehring will also make periodic visits to Lafayette to provide additional support and to work closely with teachers on the implementation of the program.

The omnipresent red plush, the bar made of bamboo and the masks depicting gods with some weird names give the place its genuine, slightly bizarre touch. The sound is strictly guitars, the crowd between rough and hip. Leave your tie at home and grab one of those old rock t-shirts of yours you thought you were never going to wear again.

I am leaving tomorrow to go to Tulsa (CK Convention) and I am sure when I get there I will have fun. I always do. I meet new people and make connections and listen to stories and return with new perspectives. The problem today is I don't really want to leave. I've been home for two straight months — that's a long time for me. I took this time off from travel because
a. we moved and
b. I thought maybe, just maybe we'd get news of our adoption in the spring and possibly meet our daughter this summer. We are still waiting to hear — the good news is, there is an empty bedroom upstairs and I could be ready in a day or two.
When I woke up this morning I thought, I've got to pack and my mind went blank — where's my suitcase?
What do I bring to these things again?
I sure hope I can find everything.
I wonder where my pointer is, and my thumb drive?
I hope I can remember how to set up my computer with the projector (can't forget that connector cord thing)
Oh, and I want to remember napkins and straws and my jogging shoes
I want to take my camera too — then I could be like Donna and Cathy and post to my blog!
So … here I sit, with a mile-long list, and all these crazy thoughts going through my mind. I really need creative energy today — I have a bunch of deadlines looming. There are things to write and projects to make and a class to work on.
Why is it I do what I do?
I like being home.
I don't like leaving my kids.
Empty hotel rooms make me cry.
I think I'm tired — stayed up late.
I know in my heart of hearts — I feel it there, the why. Why I do this. Why I get to do this. In spite of the difficulty of it all, I am doing what I love and I know I am supposed to do it. I feel it so often and with so much assurance that I'm going to stand up and go get my suitcase and lay it open on the floor of my studio and watch myself fill it up. The rhythm of it all will come back to me — I'll "get my game on" I'll go to Tulsa and I'll feel the passion of teaching and the joy of gathering with like-minded people and I'll call home and it will all be OK.
And speaking of home, my laundry room is coming together. It's actually smaller than my old one — so it's been a bit of a challenge to get it all in and organized. I had to give up my three-bag sorter on wheels, but I did get a laundry chute — which next to my shoe closet is just about the coolest thing ever! Trey is showing it off here. There's a cupboard in the boys' bathroom upstairs that leads right down the chute to here — like magic. Open the cupboard and find more dirty clothes …
But it's OK, I have Grandma's iron to remind me that it could be a whole lot worse. I could be warming my iron in the coals of my fire!
And the tiles turned out so cute — don't you think?
It's a bright, happy place and I still have my bins — not sure how anyone does laundry without bins!
and speaking of laundry — I've got to wash my skirt that I want to wear on Friday and so I guess I'd better get back to work …
I leave you with this thought that I love.
Balance isn't 'either/or' it's 'and.'
that was said my Martin Scully and it's why I think life is so good.
A balanced life affords me the chance to go and stay home; to work and to play; to ask and to know. And is such an empowering word — brings ideas and people and seemingly incongruous things together. Makes life challenging and interesting and that's a good and exciting thing.
