After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.Palin treads carefully between fundamentalist beliefs and public policy (Los Angeles Times)
Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.

Adventurer's Club at Disney World closes
The Adventurer's Club at Walt Disney World -- a cabaret show/bar augmented with puppeteered robotic masks, stone idols, and random junque -- has shut its doors, as part of the shuttering of Pleasure Island (an otherwise lacklustre adult entertainment area with crummy discos and clubs). This was my second-favorite Disney artifact of all time (after the Haunted Mansion ride), and my favorite club in the world. I'm so bummed to hear they shut it down -- I hope it re-opens somewhere else soon!
Huge Crowd Gives Heartfelt Send-off to Adventurer's Club (Thanks, Heath!)
Three UCF students showed up dressed as Pamelia Perkins, Hathaway Browne, and the Colonel. "It's the final night," said Pamelia look-alike Beth Phillips. "We had to do something big." Nathan Kohlun said choosing to dress like Hathaway was easy. "Everyone loves this character, especially the women. It's just all really fun."
About an hour before the doors opened, many of the actors came out in their street clothes to loud cheers. They posed for photos, answered questions, received gifts, and thanked as many fans as they could for their support over the years.
Cassie Cameron, who wore a hand-made Hathaway shirt, brought a snapshot to give to the cast showing her at age 9 in the Mask Room. The now 24-year-old said she's just sad she won't get the chance to bring her own daughter to the Club. "She's three and can already sing the Adventurer's Song and even Toast! I had really hoped to share this with her some day."
Roman siege engine for sale
Ever wanted to own a full-scale Roman siege engine? Now you can!
The ballista was successfully built and managed to fire a very heavy stone ball some 127 yards. (Remember, these things used to successfully lay siege to entire cities.)Our full-size Roman siege catapult for sale on eBay (Thanks, Uncle Wilco!)
The ballista, dissembled, has been in our Scotland timber yard since then, so we have decided to make some room (quite a bit of room, actually) and sell it on eBay.
The ballista has aged gracefully and needs a little restoration work to get it back into shape again – though as a demonstration piece rather than as a fireable weapon. We've decided to sell the ballista 'as seen' for those who fancy constructing it themselves – though we are very happy to provide construction as an additional service. (To be fair, we recommend it – it will take people with timber expertise to do the required work.)
MPAA spokeslawyers insist that they not be identified by name in reports from press-conference
Except this:
Lawyers for the MPAA, in a teleconference with reporters, said Kaleidesape and RealDVD are circumventing "technology designed to prevent copying."Wait wait wait wait: what? These unnamed lawyers are on a press-call with the media, as spokespeople for their company, and they "asked that their names not be published?" And journalists complied?
The lawyers, who asked that their names not be published, said they were concerned "Consumers will think this is a legal product...when in fact it is totally illegal."
Truly, this is a new low in chickenshittery that has me scraping my jaw off my chest. These lawyers aren't deep-throat whistle-blowers sneaking information out of their employers' filing cabinets: they're the official spokespeople for the firm. And they get anonymity?
So what happens in the future -- after the MPAA gets its ass handed to it by the court -- if we want to argue that the MPAA's lawyers have a long history of going around saying that software is "totally illegal"? Do the MPAA get to deny it, because no one can name the spokesperson who said it?
And why on earth would the journalists honor such a request? "Unnamed MPAA lawyer says stupid thing" fails one of the important Ws of reporting: Who said it? MPAA, RealNetworks Wage Court Battle Over DVD-Copying Software

Eclectic Methodology and their New Toy
Video remix artists Eclectic Method cut and paste music videos, movies, current events, and video games into a danceable stream of sound and heady stretch of images. It's fun to watch them "scratch" DVD's live, and their recorded work makes for great YouTube fare.
Here's my favorite examples of their video mashup:
BOB MARLEY - (an official video mix for the Marley Family)
ENTOURAGE HBO: Ari Gold says F*%K
ZEITGHOST #2 - Eclectic Method's Signature Music Video Remixtape
TONY SOPRANO's Video Remix
KILL BILL - Movie Fight Remix
But it's even more fun to play with this stuff oneself. In true DIY fashion, they've created a super-easy video remixer that lets the least experienced or most stoned computer users to play mash-up with images from their last video.
(All you do is click on the image, and then use your number keys to jam.)
It may not be the most deeply creative computer experience available, but it is kinda fun - and accessible to all. Even my 3-year-old.

No Money Down
Because of current events, Arthur magazine just posted the column I wrote for their upcoming issue, written a month or so ago, about what's happening right now. I figured I'd share it with you here:
I poked my head up from writing my book a couple of months ago to engage with Arthur readers about the subject I was working on: the credit crunch and what to do about it [see "Riding Out the Credit Crisis" in Arthur No. 29/May 2008]. I got more email about that piece than anything I have written since a column threatening to defect from the Mac community back in the Quadra days.read more...
Many readers thought I was hinting at something under the surface–a conspiracy, of sorts, to take money from the poor and give it to the rich. It sounded to many like I was describing an economic system actually designed–planned–to redistribute income in the worst possible ways.
I guess I'd have to agree with that premise. Only it's not a secret conspiracy. It's an overt one, and playing out in full view of anyone who has time (time is money, after all) to observe it.
The mortgage and credit crisis wasn't merely predictable; it was predicted. And not by a market bear or conspiracy theorist, but by the people and institutions responsible. The record number of foreclosures, credit defaults, and, now, institutional collapses is not the result of the churn of random market forces, but rather a series of highly lobbied changes to law, highly promoted ideologies of wealth and home ownership, and monetary policies highly biased toward corporate greed.
It all started to make sense to me when I attended Learning Annex's Wealth Expo earlier this year–a seminar where teachers of The Secret, the hosts of Flip This House, George Foreman, Tony Robbins and former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan [pictured above in banner from Learning Annex website] purportedly taught the thousands in attendance how to take advantage of the current foreclosure boom....

The House of Death: An Interview with DEA Whistleblower Sandy Gonzalez
Reason: The DEA administrator at the time, Karen Tandy, has admitted in court testimony that she gave you the only poor performance review of your career because of your letter calling for an investigation into the murders. That led to your retirement. Have any of the ICE officers who handled the Lalo case been held accountable --criminally, professionally, or otherwise?An Interview with DEA Whistleblower Sandy Gonzalez
Gonzalez: Not to my knowledge. I doubt it. I would have heard about it.
Reason: Have you had any indication that Congress might step in? Have you talked to anyone on Capitol Hill?
Gonzalez: Back in 2005 I went and briefed the senior staff of two senators.
Reason: Which ones?
Gonzalez: [Iowa Sen. Charles] Grassley and [Vermont Sen. Patrick] Leahy. I think what happened is one of the members of Leahy's staff was a Justice Department officer who was on loan on a detail to the senator's staff. I think she knew [U.S. Attorney] Johnny Sutton. She worked out of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys. She knew Sutton personally and throughout the whole interview she was antagonistic. My guess is that she railroaded the whole thing.

The Great Schlep
The Great Schlep from The Great Schlep on Vimeo.
Here's an easy way to help Obama and progressive Judaism at the same time! The Great Schlep, brainchild of my good friend Ari Wallach, "aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don't have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama."
Whether or not one supports Obama, it's probably a good idea to dispel the myths (one group I spoke with at an Upper East Side New York synagogue believed that Obama had already committed to placing Farrakhan in his cabinet), and at least make sure Floridians understand exactly who and what they're voting for.

Reuters sues academic for making a Firefox plugin that lets you annotate and reference articles
For my part, I'm going to refuse to use Reuters' software in future, strongly discourage graduate students from buying EndNote, and try to get this message out to my colleagues too (at least those of them who aren't using Zotero or some BibTex client already). If I taught any classes where Thomson printed relevant textbooks, I would be strongly inclined not to use these texts either. I encourage you to do the same (and, if you're so minded, to suggest other possible ways of making it clear to Reuters that this kind of behaviour is intolerable in the comments). People have argued that the music industry has screwed up badly by suing its customers – whether that's true or not, makers of academic bibliography software should be told that suing universities for what appear to be entirely legitimate actions is not likely to do their reputations any good.GMU sued for Zotero (Thanks, Espen!)

You May Be Synaesthetic And Not Know It
When the researchers analysed the results, along with some obvious associations – lemon with yellow and peppermint with smooth, hard and sticky – they found some odd ones.Do we all have some synaesthetic ability?
Significantly more people than chance, for instance, associated the smell of mushrooms with the colours blue or yellow. Lavender elicited the colour green and the texture of sticky liquid, while ginger was perceived as black and sharp.
"The influence of learning is there," (researcher Ferrinne) Spector told a meeting of the American Synesthesia Association in Hamilton on 27 September, "but it cannot explain all associations."

Lightroom 4 Import Presets for canon 5D Mark iii
Feb 14, 2013
Hi All,
I am currently trying to teach myself to use Lightroom 4 and improve my workflow. I have been trying to setup a number of import presets that get applied to my RAW files during the import process.
Can any of you experts out there recommend what I can do when importing photo's from my Canon 5D mark iii.
I currently have a preset that does the following:
- Auto Tone
- Lens Correction
- Process Version (2012)
I was also thinking of adding the following but am not sure...
- Camera Profile (Either Standard or Faithful cannot decide???)
- Sharpness
- Clarity
Can anyone provide any tips on how they have setup import presets for a Canon 5D mark iii
Any tips feedback would be really appreciated!

I've added up most of the new additions from the third quarter MD&A. From the management side, it's easy to add to the existing file and send it off, but from the reader's point of view, this could be done a lot better, and it would be more interesting.
Note to management: shareholders would like to know how all of these areas are going now, well before the late April timeframe..Mining at Gunclub encountered a lower grade section of the resource, as indicated by drilling and trenching results, with consequent lower production. The rebuild of GRU #3 is nearing completion and will be mining at Drybread in Q4. The leasing out of Gold Recovery Unit #1, ceased in mid-June as planned. This unit is to be reconfigured and is planned to also commence mining at Drybread in early 2012.
Q3 2011 Muirs Exploration Activity
A 17 hole drill program of approximately 2,345m at the Massey Reef has been approved and will commence in late November. When completed, it is expected that this programme would enable a resource calculation to be undertaken at Massey Reef.
Q3 2011 WKP Exploration Activity
Assay results from the 720m diamond drill hole, WKP 30 were received after some delays at the laboratory. These results will be the subject of a separate press release. The intersection of andesites (the preferred host for epithermal mineralization) with rhyolites, in this large and fertile system, is encouraging. A substantial infill/expansion drill program is warranted.
Q3 2011 Placer Exploration & Mining Activity
South Island placer mining at Gunclub continued although, inhibited somewhat by winter snows and the building of a large water storage dam. Production was down although the
high New Zealand gold price almost offset this. Exploration continued at Drybread with further shallow drilling and sample processing. A Mining Permit was granted for Drybread on 26 August 2011. The drilling results are very encouraging and a Gold Recovery Unit and associated plant has been moved on site with gold production expected to commence in late November. Stage 1 drilling was completed at Shepherds Flat (57 holes for 709m) and results were encouraging. Stage 2 has been planned and is expected to start in December.
Shallow drilling has also been carried out on 3 other prospects in the adjoining Maniototo Valley with good results.
Q3 2011 Other Otago Exploration Activity
A shallow drill program was undertaken at the Ophir project (50% GENZL) consisting of 17 holes across 8 individual shears identified by geochemistry and rock chip sampling, along
with complementary mapping and geophysical surveying. Initial samples have been dispatched in order to assess the best assay method, whereupon the remaining 90% of
assays will be dispatched. A draft mining plan suitable for a pilot mining program has been prepared for the Wai-iti shear zone and a plant design prepared to allow resource consenting to commence for this project.
Results from the Hindon work were encouraging with rock chip samples returning highest values of 7.4ppm Au and 6.6ppm Au which support a plan to drill late in the 4th quarter.
Overall, results from the Nokomai rock chip samples were discouraging.
All results from channel sampling at Sparrowhawk, Manorburn and Sonora Creek Quarry have been received and they do not indicate the presence of a new pre-enriched protolith as postulated.

Soldier surprises young son during gym class
Updated On: Oct 10 2012 07:21:30 PM EDT
A soldier returning from Afghanistan surprised his young son Wednesday afternoon in the town of Wells.
Donnie McHugh hadn't seen his son Heath since last Christmas.
During Heath's gym class on Wednesday at Wells Elementary School, McHugh surprised the third-grader.
Teachers and school staff helped orchestrate the big reveal.
McHugh, along with his wife and parents stood behind a curtain in the gymnasium. When the curtain was drawn, there was a long pause. It took several seconds for the shock and awe to change to delight.
Heath turned 8 on Tuesday.
The celebration and visit will be short and bittersweet – just 24 hours. McHugh, a Black Hawk helicopter pilot with the U.S. Army, is heading back to Afghanistan on Thursday.

campaign tactics
Posted by Abe Sauer on March 21, 2013 10:47 AM
"Go home American Eagle you're drunk."
That's the most popular YouTube comment on a new "skinny jeans" ad from American Eagle Outfitters. Is it an early April Fool's spoof or a blatant attempt to go viral by spoofing a trend gone too far?
Does American Eagle Outfitters think the skinny jean fad has gone too far? It looks like it from a new ad spoof posted on the brand's YouTube page and blog: "AEO Skinny Skinny."
The brand is also trying to spark a conversation around the "ad" with a Twitter hashtag: #aeoskinnyskinny
Who needs a branded Onion partnership when you can pump out stuff like this on your own? The ad says the painted-on "skinny skinny" jeans are available at ae.com, where the new jeans are revealed to be two denim-colored spray cans.
Naturally, fans can apply for a chance to win a spot in the brand's next ad campaign.

Awesome Strolle
Elizabeth from Ogden, UT– Verified Buyer
I really love this stroller! It shipped super fast and when I got it out of the box I was very pleased. It's really light weight considering it's a double stroller. I love the fact it folds not once, but then again in half! It does make it a little chunky to fit in my trunk, but it's still doable, I drive a mid size car. My boys like it so much my 2 yr old wanted to just sit in it the first 2 days we got it. I have a 6 mo old and he does well sitting in the five point harness, and my 2 yr old has the 3 point harness. He likes sitting next to his brother. The only thing that seems a little flimsy are the cup holders. There are 3 for the kiddos, but they aren't deep like the other reviews said, but not a big enough deal to hate them. The basket underneath are kindof small and a little awkward to get into and my diaper bag doesn't fit but I still like the stroller a lot. It fits through all the doorways so far and even down my narrow hallway in my house (the two yr old wanted to go for a ride). The parent cupholder is kind of a joke, I just took it off. Other then the cupholders and the baskets being a little awkward it drives smooth, easy to fold up and lift into the car, and easy to manuver. My sister in law wants one now.
best stroller we've owned
Erin from Linthicum Heights, MD– Verified Buyer
awesome! This stroller is so light and easy to use. We have a chicco key fit and chicco lightway and this is by far easier to handle and use. It folds up so easy and love that when folded it is super flat. I have a 19 and 3 month old girls and am so happy that I went with a side by side stroller. And yes, it actually fits through doors. They love interacting and entertaining each other, but they still have their own space. The canopy is great... it provides lots of shade and adds extra "privacy" space between the two kids. The foot bib is great to have if you have an infant. It glides easily, which I was impressed with since my single strollers are rougher. The only drawbacks is that there is not an adult tray to hold keys, phone, etc. (there is a pouch in the canopy for this, but I am use to that tray!), the cup holder is lame, and be prepared for people to look at your precious babies... I've found people are drawn to double strollers more than a singe!
Busy mom of 2 babies
Tanisha from Easton, PA– Verified Buyer
This stroller is the BEST! It's big enough for my two babies, yet small enough to fit in my trunk with groceries and other things. The ride is smooth and steady. I'm able to fit through doorways without a problem. This stroller folds up to a compact carrying system with a strap made easy for carrying. My husband really loves the snack and bottle/cup holder provided on the front bar. Easy clean up as well. I'm very happy!
lucia from BROOKLYN, NY– Verified Buyer
I like this stroller ALOT. I would of given it 5 starts but this is the 3rd one that was shipped to me. Hopefully 3 is a charm. Very lightweight great for my twin boys. Easy to fold close and open. And love the trap attached to it, very convenient. Storage space not much but usually their isn't in a twin stroller ahhh. Overall I would definitely recommend this stroller to anyone with twins.
Love it!
Darlene from San Jose, CA– Verified Buyer
After lots of research we decided on this double for our 1 year old twin boys. We love it! Super lightweight, folds easily, and is very compact! We are very happy with the purchase and the boys seem to like it better than the last double stroller we had!
Amy from fulton, NY– Verified Buyer
Love love this stroller for my 23 month old twins. Fits through doorways, light and folds up pretty small so there is room in the back of my van for the stroller and groceries.
Very Compact
Dru from Kerhonkson, NY– Verified Buyer
I have two, 2 1\2 year Olds and a double stroller and this one is the most compact yet still spacious.
Celeste from Windsor Mill, MD– Verified Buyer
I bought this twin stroller for a girlfriend of mine and she loves it. She has not had any issues or complaints. I would recommend this to buy if your expecting twins!!!
very nice
jennifer from macomb, MI– Verified Buyer
My kids love it. Sturdy but not for major off reading but great for the places like the zoo and grass is okay. Makes trips with three, three and under easier and do able.

Reporting A Crime
In certain instances, a crime victim may be reluctant to file a report fearing the "process" and/or loss of his/her anonymity. In such circumstances, crime victims are still encouraged to make a confidential report to one of the designated campus authorities. At minimum, crime victims will receive important counseling and referral information. Confidential reports are important because they provide valuable information that can enhance the safety of the community-at-large and such reports will (at least) provide a more accurate portrait of actual campus crime. (Remember, help is available, all you need to do is ask.)
To report a crime, contact the Baylor Police Department at (254) 710-2222 or by using the Emergency Call Box telephones, located on the campus and in the parking garages. In addition, you may report a crime to the following areas:
|1. Associate Dean for Judicial and
Legal Student Services
|(254) 710-1715
|Suite 270, Clifton Robinson Tower
|2. Director, Counseling Services
|(254) 710-2467

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The city of Ithaca has released its findings from the internal investigation of a controversial stop.
The incident back on August 10, sparked public debate after a white police officer drew his gun on African-American teens.
One of two investigations into the encounter between this officer and the teens is complete.
This incident came to light after at least one parent claimed the stop was racially motivated. Back on August 9, Ithaca police were investigating a burglary and two arsons when, according to police reports, officers witnessed a group of people repeatedly ride bicycles past the scene of the arson.
Officers were instructed to stop and question them, noting that arsonists often return to the scene of the crime. Police said when they turned on their lights, the bicyclists fled.
An off-duty sergeant who was called in to help with the investigation located the individuals and instructed them to stop. Police said he was in his personal vehicle and not in uniform, but did identify himself as an officer. The sergeant unholstered his weapon, the report says, and ordered the suspects to lie on the ground while he waited for other officers to arrive. The suspects turned out to be underage. Their backpacks were searched and they were turned over to their parents.
The city's internal review did not find race-based motivation for the stop, however, they noted that the youth involved declined to participate in the investigation.
The report also found that the sergeant unholstering his weapon after a chase did not violate police policy.
However, the report did identify a need for officers to wear an outer garment identifying them as police officers when they're at a crime scene, and that will be a modification to current policy.
Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick also released his plan Monday night for changes in policing: Purchasing cameras to be worn on police uniforms and mounted in patrol cars. Requiring new hires to the department to be city residents. Allowing the police chief to implement the Community Action Team he's requested to be out on the streets in addition to usual patrols. Adding a downtown outreach social worker. Opening a west end district office for the IPD.
On top of those measures, Myrick promised a full review of police policies and procedures, improved community outreach and a ten percent increase in police staffing, which is a complete 180 degree change from the years of cutbacks to the department. There is a separate investigation underway by the Community Police Board, an outside agency that acts as a liaison between the police department and community members.
There's no word yet on when that report will be out.

Vintage Film Beauty Pageant Contest
A beauty pageant or beauty contest, is a competition that mainly focuses on the physical beauty of its contestants, although such contests often incorporate personality, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria. The phrase almost invariably refers only to contests for women and girls. Winners of beauty contests are often called beauty queens. Children's beauty pageants mainly focus on beauty, gowns, sportswear modelling, talent, and personal interviews. Adult and teen pageants focus on makeup, hair and gowns, swimsuit modelling, and personal interviews. Possible awards include titles, tiaras or crowns, sashes, savings bonds, and cash prizes.

Duke Energy's shareholders, not its customers, should pay to clean up the utility's 33 coal ash ponds, a new poll of North Carolina voters shows.
NC WARN, a Durham advocacy group that has fought Duke on rate hikes and other issues, commissioned the poll of 500 North Carolina voters.
The poll found that 91 percent of those questioned said Duke should pay the costs of closing its ponds, WARN said. Duke has estimated those costs at up to $10 billion.
Eighty-two percent indicated they would vote against political candidates who support passing cleanup costs to customers. Legislation moving through the N.C. Senate this week would force Duke to close all its ash ponds within 15 years but does not address costs other than for spills.
Seventy-seven percent want all the ponds cleaned up, not just the one that spilled ash into the Dan River on Feb. 2.
Sixty-three percent said they're concerned that low-income communities will be targeted as ash disposal sites.
TelOpinion Research of Alexandria, Va., conducted the poll last Thursday and Friday.

Are you going to happy with the "standard" Ford Mustang Boss 302, or will you step up to the Laguna Seca version? This is just one of the questions you need to be ready to answer when you head over and begin playing with the Blue Oval's new Boss 302 configurator.
For our build, we opted for a Kona Blue non-Laguna Seca version, however, we did spend a few extra imaginary dollars to get the Recaro seats and Torsen differential. Our bottom line for the 2012 Mustang Boss 302? $42,990. See how much damage you can do by clicking over the configurator. Thanks to all for the tips!

Wisconsin under Republican control: Moving straight upward, despite the demo-liars trying to kill jobs.
Thank GOD for Scott Walker.
Today's Paper, also known as the e-Edition, is an online replica of the printed newspaper. You can view today's paper or previous issues.
From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Madison -- Wisconsin moved up four spots in Chief Executive Magazine's best states for business survey.
The state was ranked in 20th place, up four spots from last year and 20 spots since 2008. As he faces his looming recall election, Gov. Scott Walker said that the survey showed he was changing the business climate in the state.
"When I took office last year, I focused on helping the people of the state, the private sector, create jobs," Walker said in a statement. "We've done that by balancing our state budget without tax increases, enacting pro-growth initiatives to improve Wisconsin's overall business climate and reforming our tax, regulatory and litigation processes." »Read Full Blog Post

Difference between revisions of "Legislatively-referred state statute"
From Ballotpedia
(→Other types of ballot measures)
|Line 16:

* [[Initiated state statute]]
* [[Initiated state statute]]
* [[Indirect initiated state statute]]

Revision as of 04:37, 6 September 2008
A legislatively-referred state statute is a statute that appears on a state's ballot as a ballot measure because the state legislature in that state voted to put it before the voters.
A legislatively-referred statute is a limited form of direct democracy with comparison to the initiated state statute. With the initiated statute, voters are in charge of the process from beginning to end, whereas with the legislatively-referred statute, they can only approve or reject laws which their legislature votes to place before them.

Hey everyone this is my second recipe and according to Beercalculus it looks good, I just wanted some seasoned brewers' opinions. :P
6 lbs Northern Brewer Dark Liquid Malt Extract (I know many of you don't like this but wanted to give it a try)
1# Simpsons Dark Crystal
4 oz Simpsons Black Malt
4 oz Simpsons Roasted Barley
Hops: (Pellet)
1st minute of boil (1 oz EK Goldings and 1oz Fuggles)
Yeast: (Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale)
Primary: None
Bottled: The Jabberwock - Cascadian Dark Ale, The Innkeeper British Bitter, Northern France Session Farmhouse Ale, Dunkelweizen, 19th Century Robust English Porter, English Brown Ale, American Cream Ale, Spiced Winter Ale
"All for brew. Brew for all."
It's hard to tell without knowing what is in the dark extract. I'm probably re work the recipe with light extract and dark grains unless you can figure out what is in the dark extract.
caramel 60, Munich, and black malt..in the DME
On my last oatmeal stout I used 6.6 lbs (2 cans) of the Briess dark malt extract with steeping grains and to be honest its a little overpowering in the sweet department, the taste has settled down a bit from age but in the very beginning it was like I was drinking the Briess straight. The EK and fuggles are great hops together though.

Can you give me an overview of what kinds of books Marlowe & Co. publishes, and then within those areas, what kinds of books you cover?
If it's smart, relevant, and helpful practical nonfiction, it could be a Marlowe book. Marlowe & Company is an imprint of the independently owned Avalon Publishing Group, and we publish pretty broadly within health and fitness, healthy food, nutrition and cooking, psychology and personal growth, sex, pregnancy and parenting, religion and spirituality, current affairs/pop culture, animals and nature, and new age/mythology, among others.

How to Improve the Economy and Beat Bureaucracy: Hire Small Businesses as Suppliers
Becoming a supplier to a large business can be just a pain, particularly if you are a small business. The overhead involved can even consume more time and effort than the actual work itself. When you consider that in the US 70% of our businesses are small and medium sized, this is a large scale headache. More so, what is crucial is that small businesses hire employees faster. The White House Blog indicated that: "after a small supplier lands a big purchase order or a contract from a bigger company, the small company's revenues go up 250% and they create about 150% more jobs in just two or three years."
To get a stalled economy moving again, improving the purchasing process in large businesses particularly in relation to hiring small suppliers would do wonders for everyone. Within these processes, there can be small changes that can create large waves of transformations that help to open up the economy.
What is wrong with purchasing these days?
Consider this: A business user needs to get a new infographic created for a project in their Marketing team and found just the perfect agency after a lot of trial and error who have the right skills and ideas to produce it. Unfortunately, it is a small business who isn't currently a supplier to their organization, a large multinational company over 200,000 employees in offices spread globally.
To get the agency signed up as a supplier, first the business user has to hurdle why the company's primary supplier in this area is not the right fit. Then they need to find the right purchasing agent who has the time to investigate the company. The small agency then has to jump through a number of hoops: fill out several long forms, provide financial history, letters of reference, and other evidence that they are a reliable source. If the order is big enough, the small agency will probably put in the effort to do so. However, it's a frequent pain in working with large organizations that has to be repeated over and again, sometimes even with the same company's different departments.
The bureaucracy also starts to set in: Purchasing agents tend to favor suppliers they already know rather than work through the forms for new companies. Purchasing departments choose to minimize the number of suppliers they work through to try to manage all their endpoints. Sometimes, laws and regulations within different countries and regions affect the rules for doing business which then requires a review. The most troubling is that most organizations' supply chain and purchasing are spread across multiple tools and databases.
Looking from even higher, you can see each of these large organizations attempting similar things: they each a form to sign up a new supplier requesting over 80% of the same fields and information from each supplier, yet different enough to require the supplier to have to redo the same work over and again. Across these companies, Purchasing often maintains their own databases and directories of current and past suppliers for their employees to navigate. These are all redundancies that aren't apparent on a single company level but visible across many.
As Rosabeth Moss Kanter of Harvard Business School describes it:
"To help small businesses grow, innovate, and add jobs, big companies can expand the search for high-potential small companies; provide training and mentoring to help those companies qualify as preferred suppliers or distributors; open access to domestic and international business opportunities; and help lower supplier costs through pooled purchasing or insurance."
In 2010, a number of the largest companies including AT&T, Bank of America, Citigroup, IBM, and UPS, joined together to create Supplier Connection, a joint partnership to tackle some of these problems. Since then other companies including Pfizer, Dell, Caterpillar, John Deere, Kellogg's, AMD and Office Depot have joined in as well. Together these organizations spend over $150 Billion annually in goods and services through their global supply chains.
The partnership is focused specifically around job growth in the US with member companies making the organization-wide executive-level commitment to buy from small businesses. They are aiming in particular for suppliers with less than 500 employees and less than $50 Million in annual revenues.
The primary task is to take a page from all places, student application process in the academic world. Years ago, universities and academic institutions in the US realized that they were unnecessarily making it complex for students to apply for college by each having their own process and form. In 1975, fifteen private colleges created a common first-year application form for use by any of its member institutions. In 2011, there were 456 such institutions across the US and even some in France, Germany, Italy, Scotland and Switzerland, including Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, Carnegie-Mellon, and Northwestern, just to name a few.
This idea, simple in theory, takes quite a bit to deploy across the business infrastructures of many organizations, but the benefits are well received by many millions since its inception. Supplier Connection aims to do the same for how small businesses can sign up suppliers to large enterprises through its supplier self-registration.
The registration process asks each company to submit information in several categories: basic company profile, general information on number of employees, products and services, financial information on annual revenues, their ability to support electronic business transactions, any quality and environmental management certifications, details on their ethical dealings and social responsibility, information on data security, information on diversity policies, and on their use of independent contractors. They estimate that if you have this information in hand it would take about two hours to fill out. Consider that not two hours spent but countless other hours saved of submitting the same forms to multiple companies.
According to John Dischinger, a Program Director at IBM and part of the Supplier Connection team, as of November 2011, there were 930 small businesses who have self-registered. The program is still young and awareness has been mostly through word of mouth. The results are starting to show: we are now seeing a reverse in the 10-year trend in the supply chain industry of buying primarily from large suppliers.
The other aspect of Supplier Connection is the common directory it maintains. Unlike a typical marketplace, this is an equal listing service which does not maintain past history of dealings like other sites like eBay or Alibaba. The difference is intentional so as not to allow any mistake of this as an attempt by large businesses to engage in collective bargaining with the suppliers. Each member company can look up suppliers from this network, but the actual business interactions with a particular supplier need to happen outside Supplier Connection. Per this point, the members of Supplier Connection cannot see the overall amount of business conducted through this network unfortunately, although individual members may share if they choose to do so.
We have seen how ideas like the Common Application for college admission has transformed the forms process for enlisting prospective students, simplifying the lives of both the institution and the students. This however, takes some time to become a widespread trend. The value is in the network effect as more and more institutions sign up. The same goes for Supplier Connection.
The larger picture beyond easing the process to get more small business suppliers is to look at it as a new form of corporate social and public responsibility: encouraging the global ecosystem that enables growth, innovation and new opportunities. This in particular easily goes beyond ethical foundation that other CSPR efforts such as the sustainability movement, and working with companies that abuse ethical labor practices. By hiring more small businesses, it can help to drive growth and employment that on a large scale helps the economy overall.
Supplier Connection is not standing still. It continues to draw new corporate members: 15 other large companies are now considering it. The Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency has agreed to collaborate with Supplier Connection. In 2012, they are looking to create virtual trade shows to allow small businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and wares. This will be set within a limited number of days to help focus buyer agents and suppliers' time to participate. They are also present through their Web site (www.Supplier-Connection.net), and actively on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
[Note: While my employer IBM is a founding member of Supplier Connection, each company is an equal member. I am not directly involved with that area of business in IBM. ]

We recognize that the consumption of fresh water by various community, industrial, and agricultural interests is an issue reaching critical proportions in many areas of the world. Alcoa has acknowledged the need for a sustainable water management strategy since 2000, when we set long-term, global objectives to reduce our process water requirements.
Reducing water use in our operations will achieve two things: 1) make more water available to the communities in which we operate, and 2) reduce the volume of wastewater that has to be discharged or managed under increasingly strict regulatory requirements. At Alcoa Canada Global Primary Products, our facilities are equipped with systems designed to reduce water consumption and wastewater generation. Our wastewater treatment systems enable us to reuse the water in our processes.
Water consumption at the Deschambault Smelter is particularly low because the plant is equipped with a system that recycles process water and recovers rainwater.
Although there is still some wastewater generated, there is less of it, and it is treated and regularly tested to ensure we meet required standards while minimizing our environmental impact. The Baie-Comeau and Bécancour smelters run closed-loop water management systems—which produces zero waste water—in their carbon sectors. The cooling waters are recycled and treated at the casthouse, and only treated purge waters are discharged into the environment. Our Deschambault Smelter is equipped with a zero process water discharge system.
