Mine broke

Comments about 2013 SRAM Red Aeroglide Rear Derailleur:
I liked the shifting pretty good, but not as smooth as DA. It requires good tuning to stay happy. The return spring broke after a couple years requiring complete replacement. Next time I'll go DA

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Cage is well constructed with carbon fiber. Very smooth shifting once properly adjusted, even with Rival shifters. Worth the upgrade from my Rival derailleur which came on my bike.

Disenchanting in dungeons in patch 3.3 {WoW}
Oct 28th 2009 1:48PM I dont like to be forced to DE items for a group.
Especially on PuG's. Sometimes you run a group with people who are just total jerks and asshats from the get-go, rude, obnoxius, roll need on offspec gear against people who need it for mainspec (DK's rolling on Tank gear, even though the tank in teh group needs it, cause "I have to build a set somehow!")
I am the type of person who wont leave a group, because when I start a dungeon I like to finish it, but in the type of groups i described above, I never let them know I can DE, because I'm not in the mood to be doing them any favors.
Also, I spent time on leveling up my enchanting, do I get any benefit from DE-ing items for groups that I cant stand?
Now, If they add an option to roll on mine, skin and herb in the group, this wont be a huge problem for me, but i didnt level my tradeskill to be an DE-bot

if WoW is your hobby or scheduled activity, and you keep going AFK to chit chat on the phone thats just rude.
What if you were playing in a basketball game with your friends? Would you leave the court everytime your phone rang and make your other 4 teammates wait for you?
Cause, you know, real life is more important than basketball (or any other hobby/activity you might be participating in.)
Your probably one of those rude people who keeps their cell phone on in the movies, and then answers it while it rings.

Breakfast Topic: Different states of rest {WoW}
Jul 9th 2009 8:24AM Oh,
And I forgot to add, that this feature wouldnt even affect characters at their level cap, since there is no need to gain XP.
Breakfast Topic: Different states of rest {WoW}
Jul 9th 2009 8:21AM I think it would be a great idea.
I think our characters should be fatigued after playing for 8 hours, and exhausted after playing 12 hours. This is starting from normal state.
It makes sense, and if your playing everyday for that long, well, youve got a problem.
I think rested XP could kick in after youve been logged out of that character for 8 hours, 6 if you rest in an inn. Then it could take a set amount of time, or a set amount of xp before you return to normal state.
This would bring the level of immersion much higher, which has been lately lacking in the game.
Breakfast Topic: How do you cope with burnout? {WoW}
Jun 18th 2009 9:22AM I've noticed that I have much more burnout in WOTLK than I did in any previous installment of the game. I'm a casual gamer, I work a full time job (8-6), have a girlfriend and 2 cats, so I only spend about 2-3 hours roughly 3 days a week playing WoW. Here are my reasons why I burnout so much
1. Heroics are not heroic anymore – They're MUCH easier than in BC, the badge rewards don't go as far as in BC, and no one really wants to run them anymore (Silver Hand-A). I believe that there is a serious lack of challenge in them.
Remember the CoT heroics in BC? I've suggested adding more hard modes to heroic dungeons – ones that drop emblems of valor, like if you do the boss the achievement way, or some harder way.And heroic reset timer is 24 hours. But raids? Well, that's my next point.
2.Naxx difficulty – Everyone says that Naxx is easy. I agree. I don't agree it's easy if you show up wearing quest greens and blues, unless the rest of the group carries you. You used to have to get some heroic gear before you stepped foot in a raid (Kara).
Now, people ding 80 and go straight to the Naxx LFG. I've been on so many disastrous PuG's which made me want to quit the game. I've joined groups, got saved, only to watch the group disband 2 hours later, or spend more time LFM than actually killing stuff.
So I'm locked out for the rest of the week yay. I'm in a small guild, so even when we have a guild run, we always end up Pugging. The amount people AFK on PuG's is just staggering.
Anyway just my 2 cents on my burnout
Update: Is Blizzard prepping Polish and Italian versions of WoW? {WoW}
May 18th 2009 4:32PM I'm Polish and I 100% approve of this.
Unfortunately, living in the US will mean I wont be able to play on those realms :(
Cant wait to see all the quest text/NPC speeches in Polish :)
Man, there are going to be some HILLARIOUS tranlsations going on.

I've decided to divide this post up into two parts.
I: My narcissism
Please forgive me if I seem like a proud ass here. I'm literally becoming more and more narcisstic. It began with me noticing how a slightly sweaty shirt that I had been wearing actually smelled nice, so that I would want to put it to my face and inhale. I think it's probably the deodourant I use, more than anything else, but the same can be said of what I smell in other guys.
Now it's spread to looking at myself in the mirror. For some reason, I can get aroused by looking at myself in the mirror when I'm shirtless with a pair of jeans, or some other pair of pants. Anyone else had this happen? I'm guessing it's all this sexual/romantic frustration in me. In fact, my body image has gone up significantly over the past few months. I never had a negative perception of my body, but I never thought I looked this good either. Fortunately (or not), it doesn't begin to compare to the way I see other guys.
II: Schwul, Freund und Freund
Here's my German summary of events two nights ago, no doubt littered with errors because of my Anglocentric linguistic perspective. For a rough English translation, scroll down.
Vorgestern am Nacht ging ich mit ungefähr fünfzehn andere Leute vom Schule für eine Abendssen zu einer Kneipe in der Nähe von meinem Hause. Meine Deutschelehrerin hat es organisiert. Wir plauderten über viele Themen, aber wir sollten nur in Deutsch sprechen. Aber einige meines Freunden und Freundinnen (alles sind leider nicht meinen Liebster) könnten nicht gut Deutsch sprechen, und deshalb sprachen sie mehr Englisch als Deutsch. Anderes Freunden und Freundinnen, die da sind, konnten Deutsch besser als ich, aber sie sprachen nicht zu viel "Schwerbish" (danke Gott).
Irgendwie sprachen wir über schwule Leute. Plötzlich sagten alles, die bei meinem Tisch sind, "schwul" in alle ihre Sätzen. Ich verstehe was sie mit jenes Wort bedeuten, aber ich konnte nicht gut den Rest, der sagen sie, verstehen, und fast jeder Person bei meinem Tisch sprachen gleichzeitig über schwule. Es ist kompliziert weil fast alle Deutsche und Deutscher schwule sagen wenn sie homosexuell bedeuten, aber ich weiss nicht ob schwul derogatorisch ist, oder ob schwul ist das beste Wort auf Deutsch für "gay" auf Englisch.
Two nights ago I went with about fifteen other people from school for dinner at a restaurant near my house. It was organised by my German teacher. We talked on many things, but it was supposed to be all in German. However, some of my friends (none of whom are my lovers, unfortunately [in German there is ambiguity: when you say "Freund", you either mean boyfriend or friend and when you say "Freundin", you either mean girlfriend or friend]). Some other friends of mine there could speak better German than I, but fortunately they weren't too hard to follow.
Somehow, everyone got to talking about gay people. Suddenly, everyone at my table was saying "schwul" in all their sentences. I understood what the word meant (gay), but I couldn't understand the rest of they were saying, and almost every person at my table was speaking at once about gay people. It is complicated because almost all Germans say "schwul", I'm not entirely sure if it can be derogatory (like faggot), since nearly all Germans use it. I think a friend of mine talking about a German gay film about a gay American-Indian, but I think I probably messed up in intepreting that.
Post a shirtless pic and perhaps we would get a better idea if this is healthy for you to keep doing.
Wow. I thought I was the only one who liked inhaling my own scent. It's bad, it gets to the point where people start staring at me b/c I'm burying my face in my sleeve and sniffing and sniffing in the middle of a chem lecture. But accept the understanding/empathy of a fellow narcissist. I know how hard it is not to fall in love with yourself. o_0
Well look at it this way... it certainly helps when you're masturbating! It may just be the testosterone in the sweat that you like. Just watch narcissism that doesn't turn into arrogance.
Hmmm, I wish we had a word that meant either friend/bf or friend/gf. It'd certainly make describing relationships easier for polys.
Children of a future age reading this indignant page know that in a former time love sweet love was thought a crime
- William Blake
Jeff: Post a shirtless pic and perhaps we would get a better idea if this is healthy for you to keep doing.
Give me exactly six months to get out of here (when uni starts), and maybe I will. Then again, maybe I won't.
Agarwaen: But accept the understanding/empathy of a fellow narcissist. I know how hard it is not to fall in love with yourself. o_0
Lol, I haven't thought of trying that, but I might. It will be interesting to see everyone else's reaction to it.
Polybigirl: It may just be the testosterone in the sweat that you like.
Never thought of that, but it sounds reasonable. I'm not going to analyse it too much anyway, since explaining homosexuality is difficult enough, what's more narcissism.

Premium green and black teas with added Matcha makes this an especiallyenjoyable morning tea. The caffeine in the green and black teas provides awelcome, not jittery, start to the day. The addition of Matcha, the specialgreen tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony, also boosts the antioxidants inthis tea.True "teas" are made from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis, the teaplant, which was first cultivated in China and found growing wild in India.Chinese monks and European traders introduced it to Japan, Sri Lanka and othercountries. Green teas are steamed fresh from the garden, preserving color andnatural flavor and leaving them rich in antioxidants.Since 1972, Stash has been committed to providing premium quality teas and anunsurpassed tea drinking experience.Stash begins with simply excellent tea leaves from the world's premier teagardens and all natural botanical ingredients gathered from around the world.Meticulous blending and tasting of every tea ensures you will enjoy full flavorin every cup.
The Stash Tea Company is a privately-held company headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. Founded in 1972, Stash Tea originally operated out of an old Portland Victorian style house, supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1975, the company broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants and through a mail order catalog to consumers.
Today, Stash Tea is one of the largest specialty tea companies in the United States. The company derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ship. The ship's captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use. This supply was his "stash," stowed carefully as his "private reserve". Today, the term is still used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness.

I got this from Amazon and maybe the tube they sent had sat in a warehouse for months, it is nearly impossible to squeeze out of the tube. Dryish texture, very hard to spread onto my skin, I will never buy again. Very disappointed and I wasted around $14.

I give it 4 out of 5 because while I wouldn't say the feel of the lotion is sticky or greasy even after letting it "sink in" for awhile, when I touch my skin, I know it's on there. It's not a heavy feeling and I can certainly get used to it, it may be the thickness of the lotion and the added "hydration" which, my skin is not dry so it may not fully absorb into my skin. I can't really describe it. It says on the tube that it is for all skin types, but I am thinking that all skin types may not have the same experience with this lotion. I think those with dryer skin may get the full benefit of the hydration and appreciate it more than I do, but it does make my skin feel very soft. Another thing about the lotion is it does have a fragrance which can be overwhelming to those with a sensitive nose. It is a bit on the perfume-y side for me, but I would rather have that than an overwhelming sunscreen smell.
I love using my Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion, but using it daily at $40 a bottle, it can get pricey and it also contains parabens. I am willing to overlook the "feel" of Yes to Carrots Hydrating Body Lotion on my skin only because I have spent months and months in search of a paraben-free, oxybenzone-free sunscreen that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Yes, the $15 tag is still steep compared to other store brands, but feeling safe with what I put on my skin is definitely worth the extra dollars. This lotion has its definite pros and cons, and you need to weigh them according to what exactly you want out of your sunscreen. For me, the SPF factor is obviously the highest priority and then what the sunscreen contains. You can buy a cheaper sunscreen and get a larger bottle, but what you're ultimately getting are chemicals which may in the long run be harmful to you. If the ingredients don't matter to you, then save your bucks. But if you're like me and want to know exactly what it being absorbed into your skin, especially when you're using something like sunscreen daily, then definitely try this out and see if it's for you.

I bought this in hopes of replacing my Lubriderm SPF 30 body moisturizer, because this is organic.
Okay, the texture isn't all that bad. It's difficult to rub into your body at first.
The smell is great, and isn't overpowering. Goes away less than an hour after it has been applied.
It doesn't leave a white residue. My body felt a tad stickier than moisturized.
But the main reason I will not buy again is because it is twice the price of Lubriderm's (both found at target), and almost half the size.
No, I didn't whip through the whole bottle in a week as a little does go along way and i don't have a whole lot of surface to cover...just my legs and my arms for five days of the week (who puts sunscreen on their stomach unless they're going to the beach?) lol
But I did finish it in less than four. For that, it's not worth a repurchase.

I bought this after reading a review in Lucky magazine. I'm the palest of the pale and having SPF built in to my body moisturizer seemed like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. The scent of the lotion was overwhelming to me on the first day, but I got used to it. My gripes with this product are: 1) I went through nearly one $15 tube in less than a week! 2) The lotion is uber-thick and sticky and left white stains inside all my clothes! I didn't quite finish the tube, but I just tossed it.

I have a 60's split-level home with a daylight basement, massive stone surrounding fireplaces on each level. The basement where we would burn wood has a 20% efficient old Country Hearth insert. I looked at the new inserts in a store and they are smaller but have the pipes with holes drilled in them at the top of the firebox. I'm wondering if we installed the stainless steel tubing liner in the chimney and added our own pipes with holes drilled in them to the top of our insert, could we change the efficiency without having to rip it out and buy an expensive new insert. I don't know the construction, if air is blown through the pipes or what. Our fireplace has a blower but DH thinks it only recirculates room air and that we need to bring in outside air, perhaps through a partially sealed off window.
My MIL had several large trees removed at her house so lots of possible firewood, and it would be nice to have a backup in case of prolonged power outages for heating the house. We did use the fp when we had a 3.5 day blackout once and it did work enough to heat the house and cook on, but I would want the efficiency to be better to use it frequently. Thanks, Nancy |

The new stoves are engineered to EPA standards. You don't just put some pipes in the stove and think it's better. These stoves have a secondary combustion that ignites the smoke (unburned gas) before it enters the chimney. The opening is also smaller. Today's stoves have 6" outlets as opposed to the 8" outlets of yore. You have a "Smoke Dragon" and it's time to replace it with the newer 80% efficient stove inserts. Your stove has served you faithfully. It's time to retire it. |

"I love Kip McGrath because they gave me a warm welcome. They have good resources. There are games and work on the computer which is very fun. I definitely recommend Kip McGrath." - Hannah.
Liz at Kip McGrath is very friendly and approachable and has quickly built a strong working relationship with my 10 year daughter.

At the St Neots Centre we place great importance on ensuring that every programme of study is carefully planned to suit the ability and personality of the individual student. This is done firstly through the initial 45 minute assessment which is carried out by the centre director. Programmes of study are updated as the student progresses. Ours is a warm and friendly environment - our students find that they can achieve success and enjoy themselves in the process!
A typical 80 minute lesson at Kip McGrath consists of six or more separate activities.
These will include:
Homework is given at the end of each lesson, and marked and discussed with the student the following week.
There is time for brief feedback to parents at the end of every lesson, and we are always available through phone or email to discuss students' progress.
The centre is owned and run by Elizabeth Bruning, an experienced and dedicated teacher who has worked in a variety of educational settings over a twenty year career in St Neots and London.

Arc Flash Protection: Suit, Gloves, Jackets, Flash PPE
Arc Flash PPE is the last line of defence in an arc flash incident. In an ideal world (from a safety perspective) no one would need to rack in/out circuit breakers or perform HV Switching, and no one would work energized or near energized conductors or circuit parts. Now let's be realistic, and realise that this is not possible in all cases. Let's also be realistic and have a look at the statistics, and realise that arc flash incidents can and do occur on a regular basis in these environments and let's promote protection in electrical safety.
Arc Flash PPE
For the reasons listed above, Arc Flash PPE is an absolute must for electrical workers. Cotton-drill simply does not provide sufficient protection as work wear in the electrical industry. Cotton does burn, and is not self extinguishing, this is well documented but not well known. For this reason, the first step in an Arc Flash PPE program is to choose work wear made from a frame resistant fabric that has a separate arc flash rating (e.g. Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy Breakopen Threshold (EBT).
Arc flash gloves, arc flash jackets, insulated arc flash mats, and arc flash suits must be required for all electrical professionals for their protection.
HV Switching
Secondly, Arc Flash PPE should be implemented for HV Switching, and either personally issued to HV operators, or shared and kept in all switch rooms for anyone to wear entering these environments. These two steps of course need to be preceded by the appropriate Arc Flash Hazard Analysis to decide what the
Arc Flash Protection Boundary is and for identifying the arc flash protective clothing required related to the energized electrical work task.

We are trying to decide on our cabinet layout, and keep getting stuck on the range. We want to upgrade from our current 30" but cannot decide if we should go with 36" or 48". I don't have any wall space for a double oven stack anywhere, so the 48" with double ovens is appealing for that reason. If we went with a 36", for the extra burners, I'd probably push for a speed oven under counter in the island, and then have no microwave.
I cook and bake often, and we are a family of 6, all kids 8 and under. I have a 10'8" stretch where the range will live, between the fridge and the corner cabinet, so we have the space for 48". I'm also confused about the venting and blower--we'd need a hefty blower. Is 1200cfm required? Do you have a 48" range? Do you like it? Do you use both ovens? Any input would be appreciated. |

My bro in law has a large 48 in range-he's the family cook[his wife does frozen stuff that gets heated up]....it's over the top for the space it requires.....the burners don't all get used very much. It's fancy and was expensive. I think he uses it even less now than when first installed [kids are now 11 and 14]. Just my observation. |
It depends on what options and how powerful burners you get that will determine how many CFM you need. Any pro-style range with grill will require at least 1200cfm. I have a 36" Capital Culinarian with 6 burners and I have a 1400cfm blower. And I don't think it is overkill. Either 36" range plus speed oven or 48" range with double ovens will serve your needs. Most people find they use their smaller oven much more than their big oven. But you don't want to spend major bucks and not have the capacity to host parties/holiday events. I got a 24" wall oven in addition to my 36" range oven. I would be damned to spend so much on kitchen reno and appliances only to have a $79 toaster oven from Costco be my main oven. For me the layout and size of the room would largely determine which option I would choose. Does the 36" look a bit small or does the 48" overpower the room? |

Have a Viking 48 inch with double oven... grill/griddle and 6 burners.. love love love it. Use smaller oven rarely, it is actually pretty small (and have double electric oven on baking side of kitchen) But I love the cooking space my 48 inch provides. Wouldn't change it for anything. |
Thanks for this input--I couldn't reply from my darn phone, and our computer is on the fritz. But I do appreciate hearing differing points of view. We ended up purchasing a new, floor model blue star 48" gas range, with 4 burners and a griddle and grill. I love that it has 2 ovens, so no need for a separate oven. It does define our space, and it's a big girl, but we will make it work. We also got a 1200cfm vent and SS hood. I feel relieved to have that decision made, as I felt so many other things were dependent on it. Now I can finalize my cabinet layout, and of course, drop it in here for GW approval (fingers crossed :) |
I have a 36 Aga with two ovens. I would not recommend an Aga but I would definitely recommend another range (36 or 48) with a large oven and a smaller one. The smaller one is fantastic. It hears up in minutes, and while it doesn't hold a lot in terms of width, the length is fine and with multiple racks I can cook up to five pans at the same time -- great for multiple side dishes or multiple pans of the same dish. 36 inches (five burners, two ovens) turned out to be plenty without giving up the extra counter space for a 48 inch range, but at either size, I would definitely recommend a model with a large and a small oven. Good luck! |
Congrats on the new 48", home4all6, and great choice. You will love it. We did the jump to 48" last December and I appreciate it every single day. Almost always use the small oven; love how quick it heats up. So nice to have both going when doing a large dinner for company though. And the grill is the bomb, you will just love that! Congrats, and have fun planning your new kitchen. |
30" Blue Star, and a Miele speed oven. Also have the Breville counter convection oven. I find that having the big gas oven and two small electric ovens provides plenty of capacity and flexibility. I like the wide width of the Blue Star 30 inch oven -- it takes full size trays which is very handy for baking biscotti and making granola. The vent is 1200 CFM. I use it on high only occasionally and for short intervals, but when you really need it, it is very good to have that power. |
I love my 48" DF Wolf; I thought I would be using the smaller oven more but none of my cookie sheets, etc., will fit :) And having 6 burners is great; wish I could have had 8 and not gone with the griddle that I will never use. |
There are plenty of professional quality jelly roll pans that will fit the small oven on a 48" Wolf. |

Recipe by Jazdyne
"Light and fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried savory
1 teaspoon kelp powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup buttermilk
Yum, great with a hearty stew on those cold nights! Its important to know that the kelp is instead of salt. It really just gives it a richer, and slightly salty flavour but these would be good with a pinch of salt as well. The kelp just adds extra minerals and iron.
I have to agree..light and fluffy...needs a little more sugar perhaps two teaspoons instead of 1 & 1/2. Would not need that if putting jam on them.

these are very yummy we all loved them. will make them again
Very good! I don't make biscuits very often bc I'm not a fan of rolling out and cutting (just one of my least favorite things) but I had milk I needed to use and these looked good. So I perservered past my dislike of rolling pins and made them. I used fresh thyme bc I had it--for the rest of the herbs I used dried. These are pretty easy if I can get past the rolling out part, and taste quite good. I paired with sausage gravy (another recipe on here--Drop Biscuits with Suasage Gravy, subbing these biscuits for the Drop Biscuits) and bf was pleased, although he criticized my choice to make it for dinner. But hey--I'm the cook! Thanks for the recipe!
When I was a bachelor 50 years ago Pillsbury sold a variety of stews with herbed biscuits. Creamed chicken, tuna, et al. As a widower 40 years later, this is the answer I've been searching for!! Probably have to go to Trader Joe's for the kelp. Great single dish suppers!!
These were quick to make and came out just right. They were good with spaghetti.
Good recipe. I didn't have all of the herbs but they still had a lot of flavor. It is probably my fault for not letting the baking powder sink in longer but they came out of the oven rather flat.
Good,easy recipe. Goes well with homemade soup and stew. I've made these several times and they all get eaten. I use fresh herbs instead of dry and the flavour is so much better.

NexTec Helps Grow Success For The Magellan Group Ltd.
The company had been using QuickBooks® Enterprise Solutions, but its enormous transaction volume strained the software beyond usability. "We broke it," recalls Pamela Olson, manager of finance and administration for The Magellan Group. "Every few months it would completely crash. The rest of the time is was so overloaded that it would take four hours a day just to print sales orders." Olson says the company looked at several options before deciding on Microsoft Dynamics GP, including Microsoft NAV and iCode Everest™. "NexTec Group was the main reason behind our decision to choose Microsoft Dynamics," she says. "They understood our business and approached the project as a problem-solving mission, not as a software selling mission."

The Arroyo Grande community is coming together to try and keep a local childcare program off the chopping block.
The Lion's Club hosted a barbeque fundraiser Friday night, to benefit the city's Children in Motion program which provides before and after school care for hundreds of kids in San Luis Obispo County.
As the city struggles with a budget shortfall, the recreation department is trying to raise enough money to support the program on its own.
It costs between $50,000-$55,000 but supporters say it is worth it.
"Working parents have a safe place where they know their kids are going to be well cared for, going to learn some interesting things and have some fun," said Doug Perrin, the director of recreation and maintenance.
The event raised about $2,000.
The Lion's Club says it hopes to hold more fundraisers for the program in the future.

Barclays today announced a fancy new capital plan that illustrates the subtle cultural differences between US and UK banking. When U.S. regulators want banks to raise more capital, they tell them to do it by 2018, and the banks spend the intervening five years whining about it. When UK regulators want Barclays to raise more capital, they tell them to do it by June 2014, and Barclays goes out and announces a rights offering pronto. A rights offering! That preferred European way of raising capital has a pleasing symbolism; it's like, okay you equity holders, you let your management get into this mess, and you're responsible for fixing it, so cough up some more cash or there'll be consequences. Bail yourselves out.
The mess, in this case, is that newish leverage-ratio rules require European banks to have assets (measured under IFRS, plus some off-balance-sheet stuff) equal to no more than 33.3 times their capital, and Barclays is at a somewhat astounding-sounding 45.9x,1 so it either needs to chuck around a third of its assets or raise about a third again of its capital or some combination thereof.
They elected combination thereof, to wit: Read more »

It's time to replace your wispy curtains, ill fitting blinds, and makeshift door coverings with solid panels of patio door curtains. Featuring more substantial materials than ever before, you can find curtain panels specially designed for various entryways in your home. Begin with French door curtains in your bedroom along with sliding glass curtain panels for your patio. Improve the energy usage of your home with door panels that are insulated, as you utilize these handy and effortless curtain panels.
Sliding Glass Door Curtain Panels
A tall glass pane in a doorway is an easy way for unsuspecting guests, children and pets to get injured. However, the ability to create a door sized window display of your outdoor space is priceless in terms of natural beauty. Enjoy the best of your sliding glass door by covering it with a curtain panel especially made for this type of treatment. Look for curtain panels with detachable wands that allow you to open and shut your new sliding glass door window treatment with ease. You can also opt for textured curtain panels that add an element of surprise and interest to your decor. For instance, a basket weave texture will fit right in with a patio door that escapes to a tropical themed pool getaway.
French Door Curtains
Insure you have the ultimate in privacy while adding to the romantic feel of your bedroom by including French door curtains in your decorating scheme. Add a feeling of privacy through the sheer fabric used for a French door curtain panel. Meanwhile the ability to tie back your curtain panel gives you a look that is typical of French door curtains. Look for curtains that are available in a range of colors, such as beige, ivory or yellow, so that you can choose the best shade for your space. While French door curtains typically aren't printed or appliqued, you may likely to find these curtains treated with lace or ruffles for an added flourish.
Insulated Door Panels
For saving costs in your home, while supplementing the security and style you desire, choose insulated patio door curtains. These panels feature innovative materials that insulate glass door panels to such a degree that light, sound and heat find it difficult to escape. You have the chance to enjoy the open air beauty of a glass door panel, while maintaining the level of energy efficiency you wish for in your home. Simply slide back your door panels for a refreshing view of the outdoors, always with the ability to close out gusty winds and the strong summer sun.
Insulated panels are available in a curtain style panel, as well as an insulated sliding door panel. Whereas the curtain panel style offers the look of traditional curtains, insulated sliding door panels are sturdy backed treatments that appear as a mock wall treatment. Give your living room or den a new look by adding the solid back door panel to your sliding glass doorway. You'll benefit from the conveniences of a sliding glass door and the safety and energy offering of the insulated door panel.

Bronco Stadium/Lyle Smith Field
Attendance: 32,026
Boise, ID (Sports Network) - Kellen Moore threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, while also adding a TD reception, as No. 2 Boise State trounced Louisiana Tech, 49-20, at Bronco Stadium.
Doug Martin racked up 150 yards and two scores on 21 carries and Tyler Shoemaker had six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown for the Broncos (7-0, 3-0 WAC), who ran their win streak to 21 in a row and host Hawaii on November 6.
Austin Pettis posted 55 yards and a touchdown on five catches and also threw one to Moore as Boise State ripped the visitors for 468 yards of offense.
Ross Jenkins finished with 222 yards and a touchdown on 24-of-39 passing but was sacked four times for the Bulldogs (3-5, 2-2), who had won two in a row before a bye last week.
Lennon Creer struck for 149 yards and a pair of TD runs on 35 carries, and Phillip Livas had three catches for 37 yards and a score in defeat. Louisiana Tech racked up 25 first downs and 394 yards of total offense against the nation's best defense, but all for naught.
Louisiana Tech opened the second half with a 23-yard Jenkins-to-Livas scoring connection, but the extra point was missed and it was 28-13. The visitors then recovered an onsides kick, but failed to move the ball.
Boise State came right back with a 91-yard drive and took a 35-13 advantage when Jeremy Avery picked up a loose ball and went 26 yards around the left side to the end zone. The Broncos recovered a fumble two plays later then Pettis and Moore hooked up for a seven-yard score and a 42-13 contest.
Martin raced up the middle for a 20-yard touchdown and the rout was on at 49-13 midway through the fourth. Louisiana Tech didn't respond until Creer's 25-yard run for a score inside the final minute.
The home team jumped on top after a two-yard run from Martin capped a brief drive set up when Louisiana Tech punter Ryan Allen unleashed a 12-yard punt to the 43-yard line. The Bulldogs responded on the following drive, evening the score on a one-yard dash from Creer.
Boise State countered with a six-yard TD strike from Moore to Pettis to cap the first quarter then Shoemaker caught a Moore pass and rolled 32 yards to the end zone early in the second for a 21-7 game.
It was a 21-point edge at the half as Martin fumbled on a try for the end zone and Kyle Efaw alertly fell on the ball in the end zone.

The H1N1 virus is prompting a growing number of public institutions to close or dramatically change their daily routines. Church groups feel a special responsibility to protect their members and to offer support during times of crisis, but this mission is challenged during an epidemic when public gatherings pose a potential health risk. In times like these, congregations must decide how best to minimize the risk while continuing to provide pastoral care and practical assistance to their members and communities.
The resources on this page offer planning tools, information, and concrete suggestions for dealing with a public health threat, including the current H1N1 virus. There is also a group of materials designed to inform and protect the immigrant community, a group doubly at-risk because it has been unfairly targeted as responsible for the crisis. Churches can be good neighbors to immigrants as well as sources of medically-accurate, compassionate information about the epidemic.
The most current information can be found at the websites of the Centers for Disease Control and at the World Health Organization website. Those two organizations have presented the same message, though news media organizations have at times slanted the story toward the sensational. Despite the sensationalism,
In addition to the CDC and WHO sources, we recommend that you check the Health Department website for your own state to get the most recent information on local conditions and control efforts.
In the weeks ahead, Unitarian Universalist congregations will determine how best to serve their members while also helping reduce the spread of infection. This work is vitally important, and the Unitarian Universalist Association is committed to updating this information as soon as useful new resources become available.

Hello! Up to now I have been brewing from malt kits, and have now bought materials to 'brew in a bag', my first attempt using grain and hops. I think I have all the ingredients - anyone got any tips? Ma
Hi Coachie, I did my first BIAB last week and it was a complete success. I am officially hooked. A couple of things you should know: - Don't let the bag touch the bottom of your kettle. Definitely use a colander or false bottom of some kind as the bag could burn and get holes in it. - Try to figure out some way to hang the bag over the kettle after your mash. Standing over a kettle holding a 20lb bag of wet grain while draining and sparging is not my idea of fun. Other than that, I think you're going to really like it! Thanks, Robert.
The first thread on the top of this page may help.
My suggestions/things I learned the hard way: Mill the grains very fine. Use a steamer basket to keep the bag off the kettle. Make a custom shaped bag out of voile deep enough that you can grab the bag and tie it in a knot. Have a hook, cross bar, or pully system to support the bag over the kettle. Clip the bag (open) to the edges of the steamer basket. Use the full volume of water in your mash and forget about sparging. Heat the water, basket, and bag to strike temp (just slightly over mash temp). Add the grains while stiring, stir every 15 vto 30 minutes. Mash at recipe time and temp then raise temp to 170F for 10 min. Pull the bag and support over the kettle then SCOOB (squeeze crap out of bag). Toss the grains, keep the bag for re-use. Take a starting gravity reading. Boil the wort per recipe. Take an original gravity reading. Cool, pitch yeast, ferment, enjoy. Take carefull notes of water volumes, strike temp, water losses, etc. so you can dial in/adjust next time/calculate brew house efficiency. I always forget to take the starting gravity.

Don't try and brew anything too huge.
Bear Hill Brewery - Get Mauled!
I'll second the "don't brew anything to huge". 5-7 lbs of all barley malt is very manageable for a first BIAB. I tried several different lautering techniques before BIAB. My first brew using the bag was simply 5lbs of 2-row, and it was a night and day difference. It was by far the easiest, highest efficiency, and simplest methods I had done to day.
The 2nd edition is now available: Brewing Engineering Woodland Brewing Research Blog Applied Science for Better Beer.
I don't use anything on the bottom of the pot, the bag always touches the bottom, and I don't burn holes in the bag. How? I don't add heat after the bag is in the pot. Bring the proper amount of water to the calculated strike temperature and turn off the heat. Stir in the grains you have milled. Put the lid on and wrap the kettle including the lid with something insulating. I use a bath towel. The large volume of water will lose heat slowly and if your grain is milled correctly for BIAB (quite fine since the bag is the filter, not the grain particles) your conversion will take place quite quickly. I still leave my grains in for the full hour but I can see that the wort has gone from cloudy from the starches to clear with sugars within about 20 minutes. Now I move the pot off the stove to get it out from under the range hood and pull the bag, holding it for a minute above the pot and then shove another mixing bowl under it and transfer that to the counter to keep draining. A colander inside it lets it drain a bit. While that is draining I move the pot back on the burner and turn the heat back on. Then I move the colander with the grain to another mixing bowl and dump the collected wort into the pot and keep letting the grain drain and shuffling the grain bag between mixing bowl until it needs squeezed to get more wort out. Squeeze until you can't get any more out. Don't worry about tannins, you can't get them by squeezing. By the time I get done squeezing out the wort and adding it to the pot the wort is probably near mash out temperature.
Everybody has their own BIAB method, here's mine. I haven't had problems scortching the bag and I haven't put anything on the bottom, but I plan to next time. Twice now my bag has gotten stuck under the dip tube. I use a step ladder and a 2X4 to lift the bag. Get a 2x4, 3-4 feet long, and screw an eye hook into the center. Add a pulley and place it across the top of your tallest stepladder. When you're ready to lift the bag, tie a length of rope around the neck (google "miller's knot") and thread it through the pulley. Lift the bag with one hand and pull the rope down with the other. You can tie off the bag and let it drip or, (as I do) get a new BBQ grille grate and a small tupperware tote bin. Place the grille grate over the top of the kettle. cut a hole in the bottom of the tote bin and place it on the grille grate. Lower the bag into the bin and let it drip back into the kettle. Squeeze like it owes you beer.
Tip on lifting the bag: When raising the bag, don't pull it all the way out, pull it so that the grain mass is partially out, and partially floating. This will allow the liquid in the top half of the grain mass to drain. Then pull it out some more. Lifting a 12 pound bag is not too hard for a male. A female brewer may have problems and want to resort to a pulley/ratchet. I am a squeezer [SCOOB], those last drops are loaded with sugar! SCOOB = Squeeze the Crap Out of the Bag For Stovetop brewing, my stove is wimpy, so I mashed in two 5 gallon pots. I made a 16 gallon Old Ale using BIAB on my Stovetop, came out well. But it would have been easier with a real kettle and burner.

A powerful typhoon tore through the Philippines, just north of Cebu City where Zach Johnson huddled with neighbors in the hallway of his high-rise apartment.
At some point, the building started to sway.
From a window, he looked out and saw signs tumbling off buildings and metal roofs, torn from their foundations, flapping in the wind.
Johnson, 30, grew up in Barrington and graduated with a major in public relations from Rhode Island College. He'd spent the last four years living in China, working for the Bethel Foundation, a charitable organization that runs a program for blind Chinese orphans. The foundation recently started a new project in the Philippines, and two weeks earlier he'd moved into his new condo in the I.T. district of Cebu City. A freelance photographer, he was exploring opening a photo gallery.
Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest typhoons on record, slammed into six central Philippine islands on Friday, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes. About 300 to 400 bodies had already been recovered, and officials there said the death toll could reach 10,000.
Johnson's apartment building in Cebu City was spared.
So when his cellphone rang on Saturday and it was someone from a local emergency disaster-relief organization asking Johnson to help document the devastation, he grabbed his cameras.
Johnson spent the next seven hours in the back of a flatbed truck with two other volunteers and giant sacks of rice, construction tools and other supplies.
"Most of the roads were closed — downed power lines, palm trees or tanker trailers in the middle of the roads," he said, during an interview over Skype on Saturday. "Along the way, we had to cut a power line, cut in half a wooden telephone pole in the middle of the road, hanging by its wires. We had to move five or six palm trees."
Many of the paved roadways, he said, were impassable, so they had to wind through dirt back roads. They picked up 10 or 15 college students, he said, who were stranded after a bus dropped them off and they were trying to get back to their families on foot.
Finally, at about 5 p.m. on Friday, they reached Daanbantayan, a municipality at the northern tip of Cebu island, with a population of just under 75,000, according to the 2010 census.
They saw houses that had been leveled, trucks overturned, an elementary school leveled. people who had lost everything. The college students helped them pass out plastic bags filled with rice.
"Not one person was crying," he said. "Everyone was so thankful to get their rice. Everyone was so gracious. You wouldn't think they'd just lost everything."
The people in this area, he said, experience about 10 or 20 storms per year. Most of the people he spoke to, he said, were just calmly trying to assess the damage and make the best of the situation. In one block where the houses had all been leveled, a clothes line had been strung up to dry soaked belongings. He snapped a photo.
A few days before the storm hit, when forecasters were warning people of what was to come, he said, some friends asked him why he wouldn't just hop on a plane and get out. But he had no thought of leaving.
"I feel like I had to be here. I had to document it," he said, adding, "I like the action and adventure."
