Yelp is a multinational corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California. It develops, hosts and markets Yelp.com and the Yelp mobile app, which publish crowd-sourced reviews about local businesses. Yelp also trains small businesses to respond to reviews responsibly; hosts social events for reviewers; and provides basic data about businesses, such as hours of operation.
Yelp was founded in 2004 by former Paypal employees at startup incubator MRL Ventures. It was initially an unsuccessful email-based referral service, but was re-launched on the basis of unsolicited online reviews. It grew quickly and raised several rounds of funding. It had $30 million in revenues by 2010 and had collected more than 4.5 million crowd-sourced reviews. From 2009–2012, Yelp expanded throughout Europe and Asia. In 2009 it entered negotiations with Google for a potential acquisition, but a deal was never reached. Yelp became a public company in March 2012 and became profitable for the first time in 2014.
As of 2014, Yelp.com had 132 million monthly visitors and 57 million reviews. The company's revenues come from businesses being reviewed on the site choosing to advertise.
According to BusinessWeek, Yelp has "always had a complicated relationship with small businesses."[2] Yelp has had conflicts with business owners reviewed on the site, who often feel their reviews are unfair, fraudulently write reviews on their own business, or accuse Yelp of manipulating reviews.

Company history[edit]
Origins (2004–2009)[edit]
Two former PayPal employees, Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, founded Yelp during their time at a business incubator, MRL Ventures, in 2004.[3][4] Stoppelman and Simmons conceived the initial idea for Yelp as an email-based system for referring friends to local businesses, after Stoppelman caught the flu[5] and had a difficult time finding an online recommendation for a local doctor.[4][6][7] The co-founders' former colleague from PayPal and founder of MRL Ventures, Max Levchin, provided $1 million in initial funding.[4] MRL co-founder David Galbraith, who instigated the local services project based on user reviews, came up with the name "Yelp".[4][8] According to Fortune Magazine, Yelp's initial email-based system was "convoluted".[4] The idea was rejected by investors and did not attract users beyond the cofounders' friends and family.[9] Usage data showed that users were not answering requests for referrals, but were using the "Real Reviews" feature, which allowed them to write reviews unsolicited.[4] According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "the site's popularity soared" after it was re-designed in late 2005.[10]
Yelp raised $5 million in funding in 2005 from Bessemer Ventures and $10 million in November 2006 from Benchmark Capital.[4] The number of reviewers on the site grew from 12,000 in 2005, to 100,000 in 2006.[9] By the summer of 2006, the site had one million monthly visitors.[9] It raised $15 million in funding from DAG Ventures in February 2008.[11][12] In 2010, Elevation Partners invested $100 million; $75 million was spent on purchasing equity from employees and investors, while $25 million was invested in sales staff and expansion.[13] Yelp grew from six million monthly visitors in 2007 to 16.5 million in 2008 and from 12 to 24 cities during the same time period. By 2009, it had 4.5 million reviews.[14] By 2010, Yelp's revenues were estimated to be $30 million and it employed 300 people.[9]
Private company (2009–2011)[edit]
Yelp introduced a site for the United Kingdom in January 2009[15] and one for Canada that August.[14] The first non-English Yelp site was introduced in France in 2010; users had the option to read and write content in French or English.[16] From 2010 to 2011, Yelp launched several more sites, in Austria, Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands. International website traffic doubled during the same time period.[17] An Australia website went live in November 2011.[3] The Australian website was supported through a partnership with Telstra, which provided one million initial business listings,[18] and was initially glitchy.[19] Yelp had a presence in 20 countries by the end of 2012, including Turkey[20] and Denmark.[21] Yelp's first site in Asia was introduced in September 2012 in Singapore.[5]
In December 2009, Google entered into negotiations with Yelp to acquire the company,[22][23] but the two parties failed to reach an agreement.[24][25] According to The New York Times, Google offered more than $500 million, but the deal fell through after Yahoo offered $1 billion.[26] Tech Crunch reported that Google refused to match Yahoo's offer. Both offers were later abandoned following a disagreement between Yelp's management and board of directors.[27]
Yelp began a service called Yelp Deals in April 2011,[28] but by August it was forced to cut back due to increased competition and market saturation.[29] In September, the Federal Trade Commission investigated Yelp's allegations that Google was using Yelp web content without authorization and that Google's search engine algorithms favored Google Places over similar services provided by Yelp.[30][31] In a January 2014 agreement, Google was not subject to anti-trust litigation from the FTC, but did have to allow services like Yelp the ability to opt-out of having their data scraped and used on Google's websites.[32]
Public entity (2011 – present)[edit]
In November 2011, Yelp filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities Exchange Commission.[33][34] On March 2, 2012, the company's stock began public trading on the New York Stock Exchange at a share price of $15, valuing the company at $898 million.[35][36] In 2012, Yelp agreed to acquire its largest European rival, Qype, for $50 million.[5] The following year, CEO Jeremy Stoppelman reduced his salary to $1.[37] Yelp acquired the start-up online reservation company SeatMe for $12.7 million in cash and company stock in 2013.[38] Yelp's second quarter 2013 revenue "exceeded expectations", but the company was not yet profitable.[39]
Yelp moved its headquarters into larger offices in San Francisco in August 2013.[40] The company was profitable for the first time in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of increasing advertising spend by business owners and changes in Google's algorithm increasing traffic.[41] Over the course of the year, Yelp websites were launched in Mexico, Japan and Argentina.[42]"

Yelp's website, Yelp.com, is a crowd-sourced local business review and social networking site.[4] It is primarily active in major metropolitan regions.[9] The site has pages devoted to individual locations, such as restaurants or schools, where website users can submit a review on their products or services[45] using a one to five star rating system.[9] Businesses can also update contact information, hours and other basic listing information or add special deals.[9][14] In addition to writing reviews, users can react to reviews, plan events or discuss their personal lives.[4] According to Sterling Market Intelligence, Yelp is "one of the most important sites on the Internet."[21] It has 132 million monthly visitors and 57 million reviews.[46] As of 2010, Yelp had an established user-base in 33 cities.[9]
As of 2012, 45 percent of Yelp searches are done from a mobile device.[5] The Yelp iPhone app was introduced in December 2008.[47] In August 2009, Yelp released an update to the iPhone app with a hidden Easter Egg augmented reality feature called Monocle, which allowed users looking through their iPhone camera to see Yelp data on businesses seen through the camera.[48] Check-in features were added in 2010.[49][50]
Yelp users can make restaurant reservations in Yelp through OpenTable, a feature added in June 2010.[51][52] In 2013, features to have food ordered and delivered were added to Yelp[53] as well as the ability to view hygiene inspection scores.[54] Yelp's content was integrated into the mapping and directions app of Apple's September 2012 release of iOS 6.[55] Yelp also has features for finding local businesses offering special deals to Yelp users.[56]
Yelp added the ability for business owners to respond to reviews in 2008.[9][57] Businesses can respond privately by messaging the reviewer or publicly on their profile page. In some cases Yelp users that had a bad experience have updated their reviews more favorably due the businesses' efforts to make it right, while in other cases disputes between reviewers and business owners have led to harassment and physical altercations.[9] The system has led to criticisms that business owners can bribe reviewers with free food or discounts to increase their rating, though Yelp users say this rarely occurs.[58] A business owner can "claim" a review, which allows them to respond to reviews and see traffic reports.[9] Businesses can also offer discounts to Yelp users that visit often using the "check in" feature.[49][50]
Yelp hosts 57 million reviews.[59] 85 percent of small businesses listed on the site have a rating of three stars or better,[4] however some negative reviews are very personal or extreme.[9] Many reviews are written in an entertaining or creative manner.[10] Users can give a review a "thumbs-up" if it is "useful, funny or cool."[60] Each day a "Review of the Day" is determined based on a vote by users.[58]
Yelp's revenues come from selling ads and sponsored listings to small businesses.[7][9] As of 2010, Yelp has 150 salespeople. Advertisers can pay to have their listing appear at the top of search results, or feature ads on the pages of their competitors.[9][14][57] As of 2013, advertising revenue was growing at a rate of 77% per year.[61] Yelp will only allow businesses with at least a three-star rating to sign up for advertising.[10]
A sponsored "favorite review" could place a positive review above negative ones.[9] However, Yelp stopped offering this option in 2010 in an effort to deter misconceptions that advertisers were able to marginalize negative reviews for pay.[62][63]
Relationship with businesses[edit]
Impact of reviews[edit]
A Harvard Business School study published in 2011 found that each "star" in a Yelp rating affected the business owner's sales by 5–9 percent.[64][65] A 2012 study by two Berkeley economists found that an increase from 3.5 to 4 stars on Yelp resulted in a 19 percent increase in the chances of the restaurant being booked during peak hours.[66] A 2014 survey of 300 small business owners done by Yodle found that 78 percent were concerned about negative reviews. Also, 43 percent of respondents said they felt online reviews were unfair, because there is no verification that the review is written by a legitimate customer.[65]
As Yelp became more influential, the practice of fake reviews written by competitors or business owners became more prevalent.[60] A study from Harvard professor Michael Luca analyzed 316,415 reviews in Boston and found that fake reviews rose from 6% of the site's reviews in 2006 to 20% in 2014.[64] Yelp's own review filter identifies 25 percent of reviews as suspicious.[67]
Yelp has a proprietary algorithm that attempts to evaluate whether a review is authentic and filters-out reviews that it believes are not based on a patron's actual personal experiences, as required by the site's Terms of Use.[9][68] The review filter was first developed two weeks after the site was founded and the company saw their "first obviously fake reviews."[67] Filtered reviews are moved into a special area and not counted towards the businesses' star-rating.[67] The filter sometimes filters legitimate reviews, leading to complaints from business owners.[60] New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said Yelp has "the most aggressive" astroturfing filter out of the crowd-sourced websites it looked into.[67] Yelp has also been criticized for not disclosing how the filter works,[67] which it says would reveal information on how to out-smart it.[9]
Yelp also conducts "sting operations" to uncover businesses writing their own reviews.[69] In October 2012, Yelp placed a 90-day "consumer alert" on 150 business listings believed to have paid for reviews that read "We caught someone red-handed trying to buy reviews for this business".[70][71][72] In June 2013, Yelp filed a lawsuit against BuyYelpReview/AdBlaze for allegedly writing fake reviews for pay.[73][74] In 2013 Yelp sued a lawyer it alleged was part of a group of law firms that exchanged Yelp reviews and that many of the firm's reviews originated from their own office. The lawyer said Yelp was trying to get revenge for his own legal disputes and activism against Yelp.[2] In September 2013, Yelp cooperated with Operation Clean Turf, a sting operation by the New York Attorney General that uncovered 19 astroturfing operations.[67]
Alleged manipulation by Yelp[edit]
According to BusinessWeek, Yelp has "always had a complicated relationship with small businesses."[2] Throughout much of its history there have been allegations that Yelp has manipulated their website's reviews based on participation in its advertising programs.[75] Many business owners say Yelp salespeople offered to remove or suppress negative reviews if they purchase advertising.[60] Yelp says its sales staff do not have the ability to modify reviews and that the changes in the reviews are caused by its automated review filter.[45][76]
Several lawsuits have been filed against Yelp accusing it of extorting businesses into buying advertising products. Each have been dismissed by a judge before reaching trial.[60] In early 2010, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Yelp alleging it asked a Long Beach veterinary hospital to pay $300 a month for advertising services that included the suppression or deletion of disparaging customer reviews.[77] The following month, nine additional businesses joined the class-action lawsuit,[78] and two similar lawsuits were filed.[79] In May the lawsuits were combined into one class-action lawsuit,[80] which was dismissed by San Francisco U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in 2011. Chen said the reviews were protected by the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and that there was no evidence of manipulation by Yelp.[81] The plaintiffs filed an appeal.[82] In September 2014 the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal, finding that even if Yelp did manipulate reviews to favor advertisers, this would not fall under the court's legal definition of extortion.[83][84][85]
In August 2013, Yelp launched a series of town hall style meetings in 22 major American cities intended to address concerns among local business owners. Many attendees expressed frustrations with Yelp's automated filter removing positive reviews after they decline to advertise, receiving reviews from users that never entered the establishment, and other issues.[82][86] A 2011 Harvard study by Michael Luca found that there was no significant statistical correlation between being a Yelp advertiser and having more favorable reviews.[65][87] The Federal Trade Commission received 2,046 complaints about Yelp from 2008 to 2014,[65] mostly from small businesses regarding allegedly unfair or fake reviews or negative reviews that appear after declining to advertise.[88]
According to Inc. Magazine most reviewers (sometimes called "Yelpers"[10]) are "well-intentioned" and write reviews in order to express themselves, improve their writing or be creative. In some cases they write reviews in order to lash out at corporate interests or businesses they dislike.[9] Reviewers may also be motivated by badges and honors, such as being the first to review a new location,[10] or by praise and attention from other users.[57] Many reviews are written in an entertaining or creative manner.[10] Users can give a review a "thumbs-up" if it is "useful, funny or cool."[60] Each day a "Review of the Day" is determined based on a vote by users.[58]
Each year members of the Yelp community are invited to the "Yelp Elite Squad," based on an evaluation of their reviews.[89] Users must also use their real name and photo on Yelp to qualify for the Elite Squad.[58] They are governed by a council and estimated to have several thousand members. Yelp does not disclose information on how the Yelp Elite are selected.[10][89] The Yelp Elite Squad was initially formed in 2005,[89] when Jeremy Stoppelman joking referred to prolific reviewers that were invited to Yelp parties as the "Yelp Elite Squad."[9][4] Members are invited to special opening parties, given gifts and receive other perks.[4] Businesses host parties for the Yelp Elite as a way of getting reviews.[9][89] As of 2011, there were 60 local Elite Squads, mostly in North America and Europe.[89]
Yelp receives about six subpoenas a month asking for the names of anonymous reviewers, mostly from business owners seeking litigation against those writing negative reviews.[65] In 2012 the Alexandria Circuit Court and the Virginia Court of Appeals[90] held Yelp in contempt for refusing to disclose the identities of seven reviewers; in 2014 Yelp appealed to the Supreme Court.[88][91] In 2014 a US law was passed that prohibited businesses from using "disparagement clauses" in their contracts of terms or use that allege they can sue or fine customers that write negatively about them online.[92][93]
As of 2010, Yelp employed a staff of 40 community managers that organize parties for prolific reviewers, send encouraging messages to reviewers and host classes for small business owners.[9] Yelp reviewers are not required to disclose their identity, but Yelp encourages them to do so.[4] After leaving a negative review a user may say "you've been Yelped",[58] while businesses with positive reviews advertise with "People Love us on Yelp!".[9]

Watching the Watchdog: Obama's Been Playing the Part Too Long
Tim Knight | Posted 04.17.2013 | Canada
Read More: Marco Rubio, State of the Union Address, Obama, President Obama, Obama State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Canada News
This week, in his fifth State of the Union address, Obama showed every sign of no longer believing in his words. He was Hamlet, unable to make up his mind, over-trained and over-rehearsed. This Obama speech was so flat, so monotonous, so uninteresting. But Florida Senator Marco Rubio had been carefully chosen by the Republican Party bigwigs to offer the party's answer to Obama. The Republicans must be insane.

Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Germany proposed that each euro-area country set up a national fund to pay down its debt as a possible way to boost market confidence in the joint currency.
"That way, it would be verifiable year by year that member countries of the euro zone actually reduce their debt to 60 percent of gross domestic product over a span of 20 years," Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters in Berlin today. Channeling government revenue into such a "special fund" would be "confidence-building" amid the debt crisis.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's government is considering presenting the proposal to its euro-area partners at the Dec. 9 meeting of European leaders in Brussels, Schaeuble said.
Euro-area rules set a debt limit of 60 percent of GDP for member countries.

US, State Agencies Review Proposed SD Uranium Mine
In addition, the federal Environmental Protection Agency is considering Powertech's application for permits related to injecting water underground in the mining process.
The uranium market dropped after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that severely damaged a nuclear power plant, Powertech's Hollenbeck said, but the market is recovering.
"I think long-term, nuclear power is here to stay as the only truly large-scale carbon-free electrical power production we have," Hollenbeck said.

A two-part report published in The Seattle Times by Michael Berens on the fate of elephants in American zoos shows they are dying out and that infant mortality for elephants in zoos is almost three times the rate in the wild. There is a heart wrenching video and an excellent summary of this groundbreaking and significant report here.
In the first of the two fact filled essays called "Elephants are dying out in America's zoos", we learn some of the depressing facts about the lives of these magnificent mammoths, money-making "glamour beasts", who are forced to endure life sentences in captivity. For example, of the 22 offspring born to Thonglaw and Packy, only six are still alive. Furthermore, "the decades-long effort by zoos to preserve and protect elephants is failing, exacerbated by substandard conditions and denial of mounting scientific evidence that most elephants do not thrive in captivity ..."
Here are some facts uncovered in this seminal report.

Casmerodius albus
The great egret (Ardea alba) also known as common egret, large egret or (in the Old World) great white heron,[2][3][4] is a large, widely distributed egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe it is rather localized. In North America it is more widely distributed, and it is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. The Old World population is often referred to as the great white egret. This species is sometimes confused with the great white heron of the Caribbean, which is a white morph of the closely related great blue heron (A. herodias).
The great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Standing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, this species can measure 80 to 104 cm (31 to 41 in) in length and have a wingspan of 131 to 170 cm (52 to 67 in).[5][6] Body mass can range from 700 to 1,500 g (1.5 to 3.3 lb), with an average of around 1,000 g (2.2 lb).[7] It is thus only slightly smaller than the great blue or grey heron (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults. Differentiated from the intermediate egret (Mesophoyx intermedius) by the gape, which extends well beyond the back of the eye in case of the great egret, but ends just behind the eye in case of the intermediate egret.
It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises, and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight.
The great egret is not normally a vocal bird; it gives a low hoarse croak when disturbed, and at breeding colonies, it often gives a loud croaking cuk cuk cuk and higher-pitched squawks.
Like all egrets, it is a member of the heron family, Ardeidae. Traditionally classified with the storks in the Ciconiiformes, the Ardeidae are closer relatives of pelicans and belong in the Pelecaniformes instead. The great egret—unlike the typical egrets—does not belong to the genus Egretta but together with the great herons is today placed in Ardea. In the past, however, it was sometimes placed in Egretta or separated in a monotypic genus Casmerodius.
There are four subspecies in various parts of the world, which differ but little. Differences are bare part coloration in the breeding season and size; the largest A. a. modesta from Asia and Australasia some taxonomists consider a full species, the eastern great egret (Ardea modesta).:
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It breeds in colonies in trees close to large lakes with reed beds or other extensive wetlands. It builds a bulky stick nest.
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss. Nevertheless, it adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas. In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.[8][9]
The great egret is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
On 22 May 2012, it was announced a pair of great egrets were nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset.[10] The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established.[10][11] The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK.[12] Anderson commented "We've definitely seen one chick stretching a wing just before the adult arrived and also after it left and we continue to monitor for more. The eggs of the great egret can hatch over a period of a few days so it may be that if there are other young on the nest they will be less developed and won't be visible yet."[12]
The great egret feeds in shallow water or drier habitats, feeding mainly on fish, frogs, small mammals, and occasionally small reptiles and insects, spearing them with its long, sharp bill most of the time by standing still and allowing the prey to come within its striking distance of its bill which it uses as a spear. It will often wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim.
The great egret is depicted on the reverse side of a 5-Brazilian reais banknote.
White Egrets is the title of Saint Lucian poet Derek Walcott's fourteenth collection of poems.
The great egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society.[13]
The name of venerable Shariputra, one of the Buddha's best known followers, signifies the son of the egret (among other possibilities), it is said that his mother had eyes like a great egret.[14]
In Belarus, there is a commemorative coin with the image of a Great egret.

So how did #strikeoutALS and other successful charitable campaigns, most notably #NoMakeUpSelfie and #Movember, leverage social media so successfully?
Today we are excited to release the Q3 2014 Edition of the RKG Digital Marketing Report. Download the report for over 50 detailed charts with insights and analysis on trends in paid search, search engine optimization, social media, product listing ads (PLAs), comparison shopping engines, display advertising and more.
As announced earlier this week, Atlas, which was acquired by Facebook back in 2013 from Microsoft, has been rebuilt to now offer DSP (demand side platform) capabilities in addition to ad-serving. This integration makes the updated Atlas stack similar in offering to Google's Doubleclick Campaign Manager (previously DFA) which provides ad serving capabilities and DSP services through its Doubleclick Bid Manager.
Discover just how well digital channels performed in Q2 of 2014, along with which factors drove growth the most, in this video from Paid Search VP Rachel Schnorr.
In this video, see shining examples of how brands engage and build audiences on Facebook with help from tools and data that you, too, can access and implement into your own social media strategy.
We are happy to announce the release of the RKG Digital Marketing Report for Q2 2014. This quarter's report offers over 50 charts with insights and analysis on trends in paid search, search engine optimization, social media, product listing ads (PLAs), comparison shopping engines, display advertising and more.
Facebook will give users more control over the ads they see, but they will also give advertisers insights into users' off-Facebook browsing behavior.
Learn about the most important things to consider when crafting a Facebook strategy in order to take advantage of the world's largest social network.
Facebook recently announced changes to ads in the right-hand rail. In short, advertisers will soon be required to use a larger image size, in the same proportions as desktop News Feed ads, and there will be fewer of the right-hand rail ad units.

There is a ball on the back of the faucet that extends into the shank, this looks to be how flow is controlled. You can move the control arm all the way up and it actually hits the shank effectively reducing flow to almost nothing.
I will post some pictures in a little, I'm waiting for my camera's battery to charge.
Here I attached some pictures. The first one is full flow, the second would be the lowest/closed flow and the third is attached to a 1.75" shank with the flow control valve closed.
The euro version Northern Brewer sells had some kind of issue where it can't be placed in certain configurations but I think this is a different example of the same kind of tap. More information is required, i.e. someone needs to kick down for one and review it thoroughly.
Thanks for the pictures! It does look like this may work with the shanks on a standard tap tower but like Irrenarzt said until someone throws down the cash to try it we can't be 100%. If it does work I'll be purchasing 1.
We've had a few purchased already so maybe someone can review it.
I am pretty sure these will work on a standard tap tower, the shanks have the sane design on the front end where the faucet connects.
Let see if the guys who purchased these review them.
Just placed my order, will let you guys know how they pan out with 5ft of 3/16 beer line.
Had a chance to write up that review yet?
theres another thread about these faucets here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/new-...faucet-251615/
i have them installed, they seem to work pretty good. i have an overcarbed cream ale that i would get nothing but foam on with my normal faucets. you can turn these down to just a trickle, and get a normal head. it takes time to pour a pint this way though, maybe a minute. they drip much less than my cheap faucets, and no sticking so thats great. i plan to add some longer beer lines in the future, but for now, these are working great. the only downfall is having to wait for a slower pour, but these will be nice when going with a higher carbonation level for heffes, etc.
Does anyone happen to know if the spout on this thing is equivalent to any other Perlick faucets? Specifically, I was thinking of picking up one of those faucet bottling adapters (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f41/bott...ottler-228344/) and was wondering if this flow-control model had the same dimensions as either the 525/575 or 425. This is my only Perlick so I have no basis of comparison.
They look to be the same diameter as the 525ss.

A loose adaptation of a Jeffrey Eugenides story called "Baster," The Switch stars Jennifer Aniston as Kassie, who, having failed to find a husband by age 40, informs her sad-sack best friend, Wally (Jason Bateman), that she's on the hunt for a sperm donor. Though wholly devoted to Kassie, Wally doesn't have the genes of the blond, studly Roland (Patrick Wilson), who Kassie hires to provide her baby-making "ingredient." Blackout drunk, Wally hijacks the sperm cup, replacing Roland's high-quality DNA with his own. When Kassie returns to New York, seven years later, with her young son, Sebastian (Thomas Robinson, excellent), Wally can't help but notice the similarities between himself and the boy. The Switch's confident tone is not ha-ha funny; the sperm-switch scene is the closest it gets to slapstick, and despite its sympathy for the socially awkward, it avoids the halting comedy of discomfort that's currently trendy (The Office, Cyrus). Saddled with the responsibility of carrying the film, Bateman acquits himself admirably by playing it straight, developing a genuinely convincing and affecting chemistry with Robinson and taking his character's repression seriously. There are a lot of beauty-filtered close-ups of Aniston, looking every bit the flawless yoga goddess with lush hair the same golden tone as her tanned skin, forever 30 despite the fact that her character would logically be in her late 40s by the film's end. The Switch is generally uninterested in who Kassie actually is.

Victor Wanyama has no regrets over swapping Celtic for Southampton
Victor Wanyama does not regret swapping Celtic for Southampton, despite seeing his former club handed a dream Champions League draw.
After two fantastic years in Glasgow, the highly-rated 22-year-old headed south of the border in July for a Scottish record fee of £12.5million.
The move capped an incredible rise for the Kenyan, whose superb display in the famous 2-1 win over Barcelona was undoubtedly the highlight of his time at Parkhead.
Celtic again face the Spanish giants in this year's Champions League group stage, which also sees Celtic face mouth-watering matches with AC Milan and Ajax.
So, with such glamour ties coming up, would Wanyama preferred to have stayed on an extra year in Glasgow?
"No, obviously Champions League they are good games, but it was time for me also to move on," he said.
"I will be just looking forward to support them.
"I believe one day [Champions League football is achievable at Southampton]. Everything step by step and I believe one day we will be also there."
Wanyama's Celtic departure during the summer looked inevitable, although Southampton did not always look like it would be his destination.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Cardiff were all linked with the powerful midfielder, but it was Saints that were given permission to speak to him.
Initial talks broke down following suggestions of issues with his representatives, but the impasse in discussions was finally broken and he penned a four-year deal.
"It was my decision after meeting with the chairman and the manager," said Wanyama, whose brother McDonald Mariga plays for Parma in Serie A.
"I was just happy with the things they were telling me and that's why I chose Southampton.
"The ambition of the club they had and I was just happy to come and join them.
"It has been a little bit easier to get used to the change, because the teammates here have been really helpful and it has been easy for me to settle in."
Southampton have so far struggled with consistency in their second season back in the top flight.
An opening day win at West Brom was the perfect start, yet it was followed up by a home draw with Sunderland and a loss against Norwich.
Mauricio Pochettino's side line-up next line-up against West Ham, whose physicality would seem to make this an ideal game for Wanyama.
"I think it is going to be a hard game, but we are ready for it and looking forward to the challenge," he said of Sunday's match at St Mary's.
"We have been working hard and we had some good results, and also some bad ones, but I think we are still on track and looking forward to doing well.
"I would say first is to just do better than last season and from there we will see what happens. I think that is possible."
For now, though, Wanyama is just happy playing Premier League football - becoming the first Kenyan to do so in the process.
"I also represent my country here," he said.
"It has been my dream to play in the Premiership and that was since I was small.
"Reaching here it has not been easy, so I am happy to be here and just looking forward to doing well with Southampton.
"People back home they have really always supported me and they are behind me because they follow the Premier League so much, so they are looking forward also to watch me play."
That interest back home is already apparent, with Wanyama spotting a number of Southampton shirts when he returned to Kenya this past fortnight for international duty.
"I've never seen that before," he said. "It was a little bit surprising.
"That makes me also happy to see some people back home they are supporting me and also the team.
"I think now if Southampton are playing and it's on TV, they forget about Manchester and Arsenal and better clubs."

#33 - evigvinter (06/13/2012) [-]
for years i've heard about this slugs not liking salt **** . what's the deal?
#60 to #33 - Ivandrago (06/13/2012) [-]
If you've ever poured salt on an open wound, it's like that, except 20x worse. Slugs lack protection to their environment (like many gastropods) and are dehydrated so fast that it causes a violent reaction in which the slug suffers and dies a painful death. Small amounts of salt will harm the slug though, not kill it.

Programm Guide - switching channels
We bought an Philips 6606K TV and now I have some questions about the TV.
Every newer digital TV has an build in EPG. This philips too. BUT ... why the only thing you see if you swicht channels is the name of the channel.... nearly every modern TV (even my TV USB Card) shows the current movie and the next one. Also some informations like start time and end time and so on .... so if you like to see that you MUST switch to the EPG in the home menu ... this is very slow and it would be great if you could show this kind of information (current show, next movie, running time, and current part of the movie (for exaple like this 20:15 ______,____ 22:15)) ...
or am I a bit to luxury ?

May 1 --The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation May 1 announced that it has approved Japan's participation in the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System that is designed to foster global interoperability of consumer data protection measures.
Under the CBPR, Japan joins the U.S. and Mexico in agreeing to undertake measures to ensure the protection of cross-border information of businesses and others under a common set of principles adopted by the 21 APEC member economies.
Japan submitted its application to join the system in June 2013.
"E-commerce continues to develop rapidly to meet rising product and service demand among the Asia-Pacific region's 2.8 billion consumers," APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group Chair Lourdes Yaptinchay said in a statement.
"Complementary regulatory policy that limits costs to businesses while protecting data privacy is critical to facilitating this process," she said.
Under APEC's CBPR System, companies adopt and agree to abide by internal privacy rules coupled with third-party oversight by accountability agents. The government of the relevant country is tasked with overseeing and enforcing the process.
APEC leaders pledged to implement the CBPR in a November 2011 declaration.
The CBPR are based on APEC's 2004 privacy framework.
In July 2012, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the U.S. had been approved as the first formal participant in the CBPR System, and the Federal Trade Commission confirmed that it would be the system's first privacy enforcement authority.
On Feb. 8, Mexico announced that its CBPR application had been approved.

For All Levels! Learn to engage your core abdominal muscles, and create a longer, leaner, stronger body! These mat exercises, developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900?s, remain so popular today because they work! Particular emphasis is placed on the mind-body connection.

Welcome to john_g's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I am an ASE Certified Master Tech, having been in the automobile service industry for 29 yrs. I am self employed, and work with my wife in our own shop. I spend a large portion of my work week performing diagnostics and repairs for not just my regular customers but for other shops, including several dealerships. I have found that in order to serve my customers to the best of my abilities, that the aftermarket scan tools fall slightly short of the mark. So while I have the Snap-On MT2500, and the Vetronix Mastertech, and keep them up to date as much as reasonable to help cover soft spots in manufaturer coverage, I also have bought the factory scan tools for the most popular vehicles that I service. The factory tools that I have are a TechII for GM, DRBIII for Chrysler, NGS for Ford, Vedis for all of the European makes that I service, and my Mastertech is the factory tool for Toyota, and Honda up through 2003. Currently I have full O.E software (2005) for GM, and Chrysler. 2004 O.E coverage for Ford and Toyota. 2003 O.E. for Honda excluding immobilizer. Plus O.E level coverage for Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Audi/VW, Porsche, and varying levels of support for virtually everything else ranging from near O.E. to only generic OBDII in some cases.
I am a two time NAPA ASE Tech of the Year for the Carrollton Ohio distribution area.
In 1986 I recieved my second GM Master Technician award, and took first place in the nation under Buick Motor Division on a written head to head exam. This awarded me a seat on the 1986 Master Technician Advisory Council
I am a memeber of the Beaver County Vo-tec craft advisory board.
I am on the board of directors for PRARA, and Western Pa. Emissions review board. I took part in the EPA's work shop for the implementation, and design of the OBDII on board testing.
I am a sponsoring member of the iATN, and have several published articles in trade magazines, as well as contributing input to an article in Automobile (AUG2000)
I live in: United States
My zone is: Western Pa.
My favorite forum 1 is Cars.
