Gaggia Decalcifier
Back to TopCompatible with semi-automatic and super-automatic units, the Gaggia Decalcifier removes calcium deposits to prolong lifespan of your machine. The only decalcifier to be approved by Gaggia, this formula has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it is safe for your machine. Use the Gaggia decalifier as a part of your regular maintenance routine to prevent scale build up; it is available in 250ml bottles.
No reviews have been written for this product.
Hi there! What is the difference between this product and the descaling tablets I usually use? Thanks!
Without knowing what tablets you've been using, I can't really provide too much help. However, I am not aware of any Gaggia Decalcifying tablets, only backflush and brew unit cleaning tablets (those are *not* a descaler, just a detergent). The product mentioned here is a purpose-made, aluminum-safe espresso machine descaler that is designed to be safe for use in all of Gaggia's machines.
What cleaning items should be used on this machine to clean the interior
The product you linked to, Gaggia Decalcifier, will work perfectly fine with that machine. Alternatively, the Gaggia for Illy Plus uses a stainless steel-lined boiler that is safe for use in combination with Urnex Dezcal or any of their other liquid or powdered descaling solutions.
The instructions say to use the entire bottle for one cleaning. Is this really the case? I would expect a $9 product to have more than a single use...
Thank you for the question. Yes, you will need to use the whole bottle to get the maxium use from the product. If you are looking to save alittle bit of money. The Durgol Swiss Espresso Machine Descaler comes in at $14.50 for two treatments.
When will it be in stock?
We have in stock currently.

Coca-Cola Life is a product of Coca Cola launched in Argentina in June 2013, and in Chile in November of that year. It was created in Argentina after five years of research in the country.[1]
It is the first version of the soft drink to be produced with stevia and sugar as sweeteners. Coca-Cola Life has launched in the United Kingdom in August 2014, in the United States, Mexico and Sweden, since September 2014,[2][3] and in Belgium, France, Estonia and the Netherlands since January 2015. It is due to be launched in Australia and New Zealand in April 2015.[4][5]
It is a lower calorie version of Coca-Cola, having 27kcal/100mL, containing 60% of the calories of classic Coke.[6] Coca-Cola Life will co-exist with Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero[7] in the Argentine and Chile market.
It can be compared with Pepsi True, which also uses Stevia as a sweetener in some markets. Over 45 products distributed by Coca-Cola use stevia extract.[8]
United States[edit]
The roll-out of Coca-Cola Life in the United States began in the summer of 2014, with the product being sold at a number of locations of The Fresh Market grocery store.[9] Nationwide distribution began on November 4, 2014.[10] The release of Coca-Cola Life is the first Coca-Cola product launch in the U.S. since 2006.[11]
Prior to the full-scale national launch, the market research firm Haynes & Co. said that early research findings showed a positive view by consumers toward the drink.[10] The company plans to host 4,000 events at stores where people can sample the drink for free.[9] To help with its advertising and public marketing campaign, the company hired Fitzgerald and Company to develop strategy and promote the product on social media.[12]
United Kingdom[edit]
Coca-Cola began offering the drink to U.K. customers in September 2014.[13] The offering was the first new Coca-Cola product introduced in the U.K. in eight years.[14]
To promote the drink, at one event the company hired British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who promoted the drink at a launch party in London in September.[15]
In August, The Telegraph sent a correspondent, Harry Wallop, and a film crew onto the streets of Victoria to conduct a taste test of random people. In a video news segment produced from the taste test, Wallop says that most people could tell the difference in taste between Coca-Cola classic and Coca-Cola Life, although many people told him they preferred the taste of Life.[16]
In the United Kingdom, the Coca-Cola company has led several health initiatives, and it considers the introduction of Coca-Cola Life as a vital component to its initiatives. Specifically, the company promoted lower obesity rates and more active lifestyles among British people. The company insisted in connecting the roll-out of Life with its stance on promoting health.[13][17]
The Grocer, a 150-year-old magazine in the U.K.,[18] conducted a blind taste test among seven of its staff members in June. According to The Grocer, all seven tasters preferred the taste of Life to the other products. (The article in The Grocer did not specify which products Life was tested against). However, all seven tasters said that they thought they had been tasting Coca-Cola Classic.[19]
In Argentina, the launch of Coca-Cola Life placed an emphasis on the recyclable bottle. The drink is distributed in Coca-Cola's "PlantBottle", which is made up of recyclable petroleum-based material plus around 30 percent plant-based material.
Coca-Cola released a television ad in Argentina called "Parents" to promote Coca-Cola Life.[20] Marketing in Argentina was focused, much like in the U.K, around healthy lifestyles.[11] "Parents" is a humorous commercial featuring a young married couple receiving news about their first pregnancy. The commercial shows the parents going through common hardships of young parenthood, such as getting little sleep, having a toddler make a mess in the house, etc. Toward the end of the commercial, the father closes his eyes and takes a long drink from a Coca-Cola Life bottle. He opens his eyes, and while still drinking, his wife shows him a "positive" pregnancy test result. What appears to be a look of horror on the father's face (his eyes widen) turns into a look of joy and excitement.[21]
In December 2014, the advertising magazine AdWeek gave the commercial an award in the "Best Ads of 2014" category.[20]
Ingredients and packaging[edit]
The drink contains Truvia, a branded form of stevia extract. Stevia has no calories. Truvia is currently an $80 million product, as of 2014.[22]
Coca-Cola Life is the first branded Coke product to use stevia leaf extract.[14] However, it is not the first product owned by the Coca-Cola company to use stevia. Vitamin Water and Seagram's ginger ale use it.[23]
Coca-Cola Life contains sugar, but uses less sugar than traditional Coca-Cola. An 8-ounce serving contains around 60 calories, 17 carbohydrates, and 17 grams of sugar. The list of ingredients is carbonated water, sugar, caramel color, caffeine, phosphoric acid, and stevia.[10][24]
The drink comes in glass bottles, plastic bottles, or aluminum cans. The logo is a small green leaf.[16]

Town and firefighters trying to reach a contract
Date: December 6, 2012
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
Talks between the town of Longboat Key and its firefighters are ongoing to discuss a new three-year contract today at Town Hall.
The firefighters rejected a deal this morning that the town proposed, which offered a three-year deal with a raise in year one of the contract and left the pension issue at impasse to be discussed at a future date.
Instead, the union proposed a contract this morning that freezes its pension plan to new hires, enrolls current and future employees in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) and caps pension employee contributions the town would have to make to the FRS at 20%. If employer contributions ever rose more than 20%, the firefighters have agreed to pay additional contributions over 20% themselves.
As part of the proposal, firefighters are asking for a 1% cost of living increase for every year a firefighter has not received a pay increase (up to 5% for many firefighters); and a 3% cost of living increase for all employees that would take effect Oct. 1, 2013.
Town staff countered the firefighters' proposal just before noon, expressing concern with the town still being liable for contributing to a pension plan. Instead the town is offering to pay 13% of a firefighter's base salary that firefighters could put toward any sort of retirement plan they wish and doesn't involve the town being responsible for contributions.
"The town wants out of the pension business," said town labor attorney Reynolds Allen. "We could pay the union 13% per employee and you do whatever you want with it."
The town and the firefighters are set to continue discussions through 5 p.m. today and are also set to meet again 10 a.m. Friday at Town Hall in an attempt to reach a three-year contract.

I was at Big 5 tonight looking at their guns. I noticed that on one of their Mossbergs, it had the same ATI stock as I has. I asked to look at it and when I looked down the barrel, I noticed right off that I was able to get a better sight picture with the bead being much easier to see. I looked at the stock to see what was different and noticed a spacer being used. It appears to be this one.
Rifle Stocks and other Gunstocks for AK, AR, SKS and more - Advanced Technology International USA
Do I have to get this directly from ATI or should be able to find a dealer that has them in stock. It was a large improvement for $6.
Thanks for any info, Ron

Tom, your photos are always fantastic. And your trip reports are very well done, too. I'm going to go check that out.
Tom, your photos are always fantastic. And your trip reports are very well done, too. I'm going to go check that out.
Amazing! I've been gaping at your photos since a picture of the day thread on...I guess I should say, "another site." It's awesome to see you share some DLR photos with us here! Thanks, and keep 'em coming!
Amazing Photos Tom, Seriously you have skill sir, Ok got to ask did you get that tomorrow land shot on Autotopia and if so that takes some pure lucky timing to have the Monorail and Sub in frame as well moving on a Autotopia car
What kind of camera you use? Are most of this pictures hdr? Trough Photoshop?
Only with imagination and love will all your dreams come true......
Your photos are wonderful! I love your creative take that makes familiar places look new. I love to go to DL by myself and just walk around a take photos. Your shots have inspired me to look at things a new way. Thanks!
Thanks all! I'm really busy right now with home improvement stuff (we're installing a new countertop) and catching up with things at work. I'll try to respond to some of the specific questions tomorrow.
Also will hopefully start getting some new photos edited!
Awesome photos,can't wait to see more.What kind of lense did you use for the pirates of the carribean photo?Also,how do you get the near infared photos?
The Haunted Mansion photo is fantastic.
Follow me on --> Twitter (@soda)
Awesome photos! I wish I could take pictures as good as these!
Hi Tom, I "met" you on another Disney boards Photography forum a couple of years ago. I was wondering if you could tell me if you are using an ND filter on these shots, if so which one? Also, I am assuming ISO 100-200? How are you getting such long exposures without blowing them out? I normally stop down the aperture to get the star effect, but if you had an ND filter on, there would be no necessity to stop down the aperture, right? So I'm confused, and curious!! Haha! I saw on the fireworks photo you used a 145 second exposure! How did you get rid of all the smoke that usually clutters up the fireworks shots? I know you are awesome at post processing, and I know nothing except a little bit about processing RAW shots, but just the basics. I am particularly interested in your exif info for the NO Square shot and the 1st shot of the Partners Statue and Castle in the background.
Are you still using the Tokina Ultra WA lens? Thank you for any info! How do you like that D7000? I saw that you got one.

Hopefully they don't seem that far off from real life. Most of these photos have *not* been put through the paces of a rigorous Photoshop edit, and with the exception of the infrared ones (and that's all a result of the camera seeing something different than we see), all I've typically done that really impacts the photo is increasing the vibrance.
Ha. Now that really would be something if I took it from Autopia, but I did not. I was standing in place when I took that photo.
I use a Nikon D7000. None of the photos are HDR. Most of my editing is done in Adobe Camera RAW (95% of it) with some minor touch up work in PS.
I used a Rokinon 8mm fisheye for that shot. As for the near infrared, I have a converted camera that I bought specifically for this trip. Infrared photography is pretty divisive, it seems. People either love it or hate it. I love it.
Your first line hits on one of the most annoying things to many photographers. If the camera is what made a difference, you would see people taking gorgeous shots with an iPhone, and everyone who had the same camera as me could take equally gorgeous shots. I'm not saying I'm the end-all be-all of photographers (quite far from it, actually), but to attribute good photography to the camera is like attributing a basketball player's skills to his shoes. Better shoes might make a bit of a difference, but I know going from my sneakers to some Air Jordans isn't going to make me NBA caliber!
The only ND filter shot is the fireworks. I dropped my ND filter on the ground after my first night of shooting fireworks, and shattered it. In any case, I wouldn't use it for other night shots. I typically use ISO 100-200 at night on a tripod (I'll go higher if I'm impatient and don't want to wait for as long of an exposure). I rarely have an issue with smoke in fireworks shots unless it's blowing right in my face. The rest of the time it sort of blurs out with a longer exposure. I no longer use the Tokina, except on the IR camera. I'm now using a Sigma 8-16mm. I'm not all that wild about the D7000. It's okay, but not the upgrade I expected. I sort of wish I just stuck with the D90.
wow so all straight from camera with low iso and low shutter? great camera . and amazing photos you got talent im trying to get there try to get myself a zeiss lens soon
Only with imagination and love will all your dreams come true......

The Centre on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it had decided to withdraw the case against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, an accused in the Rs. 64-crore Bofors pay-offs case, which is pending before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court here.
Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam made this submission before a Bench of Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan and Justices P. Sathasivam and B.S. Chauhan. He said all efforts to extradite Mr. Quattrocchi from Malaysia and Argentina had failed and the Red Corner Notice issued against him was also revoked. The case was coming up for hearing before the CMM on October 3 and the CBI would file an application for closure of the case.
He said that in February 2004, the Delhi High Court cleared Mr. Quatrrocchi of under the Corruption Act.
Advocate Ajay Agrawal, who filed a petition in 2006 against the defreezing of Mr. Quattrocchi's bank account in London, questioned the government stand.

One Piece - Chapter 729 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Credit once again goes to AP's Redon for the summary: Quote:
So apparently Law dies. Riiiiiight. Anyway, not surprised at all that Dofla betrayed Bellamy. I do find it interesting that Dellinger was sent to finish him off, though. I also wonder how Dofla and Law suddenly appeared at the arena. It doesn't seem that Law's room reached that far. Anyways, it seems that Dofla "finished" him with a gun, lol. Guess that's how little he thought of him, that he didn't need his DF to finish him off. |

Weeeellll, now..... Aohige posted a summary of the raw, and it gives off much more interesting information outside of what we got from the earlier summary. For one thing, it seems Dofla orders Diamante to station his men at the factory, despite the fact that they're supposed to fight in the tournament. So I guess this means that those guys will fight at the factory instead, while Luffy deals with just Diamante at the arena? Interesting.....
As far as the denden conversation goes, after trading info, Franky says he wants to help the dwarves..... and on the Sunny, Sanji decides to return to Dressrosa. And as for how Law and Dofla returned to Dressrosa themselves? They literally fought their way there (seriously, they cause a TON of damage to the surrounding buildings before they reach the arena). And, as Doflamingo shoots Law, he utters a name before passing out: "Kora-san"..... But IMO, what's most interesting of all is Law's answer to Dofla when he asks him why he places so much trust in the Straw-Hats. Quoting Aohige's translation here: Quote:
--------- Ah, and as far as Caribou's story goes, it looks like he's stuck with Drake after all. But at least his legend as the rebel Gaburu still lives on in the people's hearts! Lastly, I want to mention that Dellinger has one of the most fabulous character designs in the series so far! |

Eh, I'd rather one of Luffy's crew die instead if the goal is to induce drama. Law is way too interesting of a character to kill off now, whereas most of Luffy's crew are pretty much irrelevant to the overarching story and direction the manga is currently going towards.

Awesome chapter!
It seems what everyone already speculated regarding Doflamingo killing off Bellamy was true after all. What I liked most, was the conversation between the Strawhats and the funny moments that created (Zoro being mad about not being invited to the tournament and telling Luffy the stuff about the marines on the side, Luffy mentioning asap that Becs treated him some food). Awesome cliffhanger at the end! Regarding the mini-story: Did I understand correctly, that Caribou is being taken to Kaido? Quote:
On the other hand, Haki was explained approximately three years ago. HxH has, in my eyes, one of the best fighting systems ever (very strategical, with nearly no unreasonable power ups by the good guys). Last edited by ri0; 2013-11-20 at 09:09. |

U.S. Edition
Jay Leno's been taking hits at NBC all week, but it wasn't until Thursday's "Tonight Show" that he made a direct reference to his employer's reported intent to replace him.
Right at the start of his opening monologue, Leno threw out a March Madness quip:
"You all excited about March madness?" the comedian asked his audience. "People talk about who's in, who's out, who's going to be eliminated ... and that's just here at NBC!"
On the heels of Wednesday's news that "Late Night's" Jimmy Fallon may be poised to take over "Tonight" by the fall of 2014, at the latest, Leno kept a positive spin on the attention.
"I have never been in the paper this much," he told his audience Thursday. "It's fantastic."
The industry is indeed still closely watching Leno, as new reports have surfaced that the long-time "Tonight Show" host had dinner with NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt on Thursday.
The two had reportedly exchanged terse words over Leno's repeated ribbing of NBC's low ratings. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a spokesperson for the network confirmed their outing, although it was described as a run-of-the-mill meeting.
In New York, the city's Daily News is looking at another side to the story: "The Tonight Show's" potential move back to the Big Apple from Burbank, California.
The NYDN reports that there's a provision in the tentative state budget that would make state tax credits available for producers of a "talk or variety program that filmed at least five seasons outside the state prior to its first relocated season in New York." ("The Tonight Show" moved out to California in 1972.)
The budget documents the paper cites also reportedly say that the program's episodes must be taped in front of a studio audience of at least 200 people, and the show must have an "annual production budget of at least $30 million, or incur at least $10 million a year in capital expenses."
Yet an aide of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the New York Daily News that the provision wasn't written for "The Tonight Show."
"This is simply part of our ongoing effort to attract more entertainment to the state and more economic activity," the aide said.
So.... We've come full circle and NBC is doing to Leno, and I am surely not one to miss him. There was only one great host of the Tonight Show and that was Johnny Carson. I still miss him after all these years. David Letterman to me is the next best thing... no one can ever replace Johnny Carson. The only thing big in Leno is his chin, and certainly not his humility.
I'm pretty sure he's interviewing Chris Paul in the photo. He's a point guard in the NBA.
Wow…My friend Hanna has just married to a millionaire, they met via~~~ŔichWoo.Ćoм~~~designed for the elite, a place where you can meet attorneys, political figures, investors, extremely successful entrepreneurs, millionaires, doctors, professional athletes, celebrities and models, etc. If you are looking to date the elite, maybe you can take a try.
I might go to the store later on. I'm outta chewin tobacco.
Good to see Leno joking with the NBC janitor.
Who is that black man–never saw him before in my life
I think that's our president maybe.
It's Bobby Jindal
That really old guy with the white hair looks like he might want to smooch with the other fella. Are they a couple? They do look cute together.
Who's that colored in the picture? You know they didn't used to let them on the TV. Them was the good ol days.

I've had all sorts of people tell me that because of a recent bill that was passed, farmer's markets are now illegal. I can't seem to discern fact from over-reaction. Can anyone help me?
we still have farmers markets in alabama
No and as a matter of fact most of the farmers who sell at farmers market have been exempted from the bill. Farmers markets are alive and well across the entire USA
There?s a few community farmers markets near me where the farmers bring their wares and sell it to the gawking, gabbling masses to whom ?farmers market? is a stamp of authenticity. There?s another farmers market near me which is run by a single farm, but which buys produce from the wholesaler in the city, and buys various other supplies of farm-made stuff from whoever has any to sell. I sell this guy a small supply of jelly throughout the year for just over cost, and he sells it at a 100% markup.
My brand of jelly consumes about one-half of one percent of his total shelf space for local farm-made preserves, sauces and compotes ? if that. He has two 40-foot long double-shelved tables with display space on the front and back, and my section is two jelly jars wide on one shelf. But I?m the only one who has mulberry jelly and mint jelly under his tent. Yeehah! I?ve cornered a mini-market!
One-fourth of his preserves aisle is taken up with an outfit twenty or so miles up the road which spits out hundreds [perhaps thousands if they sell to other markets] of jars and bottles filled with various gunk. I can see a bald-headed grandpa wearing overalls and a long-dead John Deere cap shuffling in the back door with a bushel of pole beans in his mitts, and a blue-haired granny hollering, ?Jus? set ?em down on the porch, Paw, the first batch is about ready fer the cellar,? as she lifts quart Masons full of pickled beans out of a steaming pot.
Or, the outfit twenty miles up the road may simply be a small storefront office complete with potted ficuses on their faux-marble floor which serves as the rural address of a wholly-owned subsidiary of a commercial produce packing plant in Cincinnati Ohio ? production units per year in the 6 figures and revenue in the 7s. I don?t know. I don?t even care.
But many people do.
Many many people care. And for one of three clusters of reasons.
Continue reading at: http://dblyelloline.blogspot.com/2011/01/good-intentions-dont-count.html
The Food Safety Act didn't make markets illegal, per se. But each state, county and market may have interpreted this bill differently for each area.
My area still has farmer's markets, however, in order for me to sell to my same market as last year, I now need upwards of 7 different licenses to do what I normally do, almost all of which require an inspection that is paid for by me.
One rule that has changed is that NO DOMESTIC KITCHEN can get a kitchen license. So if you had your kitchen in your home inspected and it PASSED, it doesn't matter, it's no longer legal to sell bread, jams, salsa's etc that you have made in your home.
It is effectively making it financially difficult for the really small operations to be able to sell at the markets. These actions are pushing me OUT of my farmer's market, and pushing me towards a CSA model - which saves me a lot of money, not just from multiple, redundant inspections and licensing fees, but also from the fee I pay the markets. Let the people come to me, I'll make it work.
(and no, I don't want food to not be safe, but by driving small farms out of business, we are putting the safety of our food into the hands of a few huge conglomerates - and to ME, that makes our food unsafe!)
I think I may need to look in to this a bit.
Federal Regulation on Value Added products has always been difficult. However, mostly managable for the smart, small producer.
Baked goods such as breads and cakes were not required to be produced in a commercial kitchen. Soft spreads such as fruit butters and jellies....same. Dehydrated/dried fruits and vegetables...same. With exceptions of course. Has this changed? Low acid and acidified foods fall into a totally different realm, as does dairy. That's where it gets tenuous. Not really attainable by small producers. And if you manage to pull it off....you'll hate it.
This is at the federal level....each level down adds their own restrictions, by state, county, city...etc. Each making it more dificult and expensive.
What has changed?
I am in the midst of starting another farmers market in northwest Washington and there is no action so far from either the FDA or the USDA based on the farm bill. Remember, the exemption for farms under $500,000 gross sales per year (called the Tester Amendment, I believe) applies to virtually all farms doing a farmers market. There are the usual nuts and bolts items, like a local city license for vendors, restrictions on signage, health department rules for those vendors doing prepared food, etc., but for us small-scale growers the recently passed farm bill amounts to a tempest in a teapot.
i would like to point out that Cassidy's state or local region may have outlawed home kitchen use but if you live in a state with cottage industry rules such as Ohio or Michigan (and i believe 30 other states) you should not need any additional licensing to sell your stuff at farmers markets.
So far SB5120 has had zero effect on farmers market via federal rules and regulations. it is different state by state and in some cases county by county
i have been doing farmers markets all winter and have had no change in how i do business (other than it has been the best for winter sales for us ever)
I have just recently recieved harassing emails from someone requesting my agriculture licence for my state. It is my understanding that with cottage industry or "farm", that they have always been treated as a yard sale, farm market, whether it be seeds, plants, or vegetable, or homemade products food or craft.
So what is up with all the questioning now about having licences for agriculture, nurseries, and such?
I understand that Monsanto is out to control all of our agriculture in seed and in controlling our food safety by panicing the public. But we just can't let that happen. Seed Savers keep saving seed. No one should own the rights of seeds or plants.
So how are we to operate with all this over head, and how do we respond to such inquisitions when under attack? Does anyone have a link to such matters?
Amy, Contact your Dept of Ag in your state to make sure that you have met all of the "local" liscensing requirements. If you sell none farm items....make sure that you don't need a vendor liscense from your county of town. Just exercise due diligence.
Other then that, learn to use your delete button.
Governmental Agencies will contact you formally, ususally not by e-mail...but when they do, they are easy to verify. You are under NO obligation to impart information to anyone else, unless you care to. I get those e-mails all the time, and a lot of the time...they are competitors making trouble.

Investing.com - Gold futures trimmed gains on Thursday, coming off the highest levels of the session after a report showed the number of people who filed for unemployment assistance in the U.S. fell more-than-expected last week. On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for June delivery traded at USD1,384.05 a troy ounce during U.S. morning hours, up 1.2% on the day. Comex gold prices rose by as much as 2.1% earlier in the session to hit a daily high of USD1,396.55 a troy ounce. Gold futures were likely to find support at USD1,337.85 a troy ounce, the low from May 20 and near-term resistance at USD1,413.05, the previous session's high. Gold prices trimmed gains after the U.S. Department of Labor said the number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits in the week ending May 18 fell by 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 340,000, compared to expectations for a decline of 18,000 to 345,000. Jobless claims for the preceding week were revised up to 363,000 from a previously reported increase of 360,000. Futures were sharply higher earlier in the session as investors continued to speculate on the direction of monetary policy in the world's largest economy. Moves in the gold price this year have largely tracked shifting expectations as to whether the U.S. central bank would end its bond-buying program sooner-than-expected. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Wednesday that a decision to scale back the central bank's asset purchase program could be taken in the "next few meetings" depending on economic data. Bernanke had earlier said in prepared remarks to Congress that a premature tightening of monetary policy carried substantial risks to the economic recovery. His comments at first dampened any thought that the central bank will ease back on its easy monetary policy, which has been beneficial to dollar-denominated commodities. Meanwhile, Wednesday's minutes from the U.S. central bank's May meeting showed a "number" of policymakers were prepared to taper bonds purchases as soon as June. Elsewhere on the Comex, silver for July delivery fell 0.6% to trade at USD22.33 a troy ounce, while copper for July delivery plunged 3.3% to trade at USD3.270 a pound. Copper prices came under pressure after data showed that manufacturing activity in China contracted for the first time in seven months in May. China's HSBC Flash Purchasing Managers Index, the earliest indicator of the country's industrial activity, fell to a seven-month low of 49.6 in May from a final reading of 50.4 in April. The data added to lingering concerns over a slowdown in the world's largest copper consumer.

Pathfinder Module: The Harrowing (PFRPG)Paizo Publishing, LLC(based on 18 ratings)An adventure for 9th-level characters Varisian fortune-tellers from across Golarion use the mystic harrow deck to read fate and predict the future, but few have ever mastered the mysterious harrow to such a degree as Sonnorae, a long-dead bard from the Age of Darkness. Fearing her collection of stories would be lost when she died, she created a demiplane within her own harrow deck to contain them. Over time, these stories took on lives of their own, and melded with the images on the cards themselves. But not all stories have happy endings, and the storykin who inhabit the Harrowed Realm have their own motivations and plots for power or even escape into the real world. When the PCs find themselves drawn into the Harrowed Realm in search of a disappeared scholar, they must use all their wits and steel to navigate the landscape and politics of this strange wonderland and make it home again. The Harrowing is an adventure for 9th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. It features an entire plane of fanciful locations and characters inspired by the popular harrow deck of the Pathfinder campaign setting. In addition, you'll find a brand-new monster and an optional rules subsystem allowing players to bend reality to their wills by using all 54 cards in the optional Pathfinder Campaign Setting Harrow Deck to manipulate the strange demiplane in which they adventure. Written by Crystal Frasier Pathfinder Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, adventures using the Open Game License to work with both the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set.

18-pc. Knife Block Set by Emeril
Chicken, Black Bean, Corn & Tomato Salad
- Active Time 30m
- Total Time 30m
4 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each
Sherry vinegar deepens the lively flavors of this Southwestern salad, and beans and fresh tomatoes keep it moist. Make it a meal: Strawberry-Mango Margarita Compote is a cool finish.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and poached (see Tip)
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed
- 1 large vine-ripened tomato or 2 plum tomatoes, cored and diced
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions (3 scallions)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Shred chicken and combine with black beans, tomatoes and corn in a salad bowl.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until just beginning to color, about 30 seconds. Add oregano and cumin; stir until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Remove from the heat; add vinegar and salt. Pour over the salad. Add scallions and parsley; gently toss to combine.
Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover then bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

IndyCar penalizes Team Penske after Castroneves victoryThe Associated Press | June 12,2013AP Photo
Helio Castroneves fires off guns loaded with blanks after Saturdays IndyCar race in Fort Worth, Texas.INDIANAPOLIS IndyCar fined Team Penske $35,000 and docked it 15 points Tuesday after a post-race inspection turned up a problem on Helio Castroneves race-winning car at Texas.
Series officials said the No. 3 car didnt comply with a rule requiring the exit of the underwing height to be 7.6 inches. Team Penske said it found after Saturday nights race that the height was instead 7.575 inches because we neglected to tighten the braces that position the rear of the diffuser following pre-race inspection.
Obviously we are very disappointed that the No. 3 car did not pass post-race inspection after Saturdays race at Texas, Penske Racing President Tom Cindric said. The way Helios car raced did not provide any advantage as a lower diffuser height actually adds drag and reduces downforce. To ensure this is the case, we ran this configuration in the wind tunnel on Monday morning and found that the No. 3 car actually raced with three pounds less downforce and one pound more drag than what it would have had if we tightened the underwing braces properly.
Castroneves led the final 132 laps at Texas Motor Speedway and finished 4.7 seconds ahead of Ryan Hunter-Reay to give Penske its first win of the IndyCar season. It was the 28th career victory for Castroneves, who took over sole possession of the points lead.
That wont change because of the penalties issued Tuesday.
IndyCar came into Texas under scrutiny following a series of penalties tied to driver behavior, including a $30,000 fine against Sebastian Saavedra for directing an obscene gesture toward Marco Andretti in Detroit. Will Power was placed on probation for the rest of the season for throwing his gloves at Sebastien Bourdais following an accident during Sundays race. Bourdais was placed on probation for comments made toward officials on pit road after the same accident.
Simona De Silvestro, Simon Pagenaud and Tristan Vautier were each penalized a 10-grid spot penalty before the Texas race for making unapproved engine changes since last weekends doubleheader in Detroit.MORE IN Wire SportsPHOENIX Marshawn Lynch changed the script and fired back at his critics.

Pacific Medical Centers wanted to improve patient satisfaction by maximizing space and labor resources at its new clinic, so it chose a real-time locating solution from Microsoft Certified Partner Versus Technology. The solution is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework and provides real-time tracking and automated workflow guidance for patients, staff, and equipment. Average patient visit time has been cut from 70 to 46 minutes, and the clinic's net revenue projections have doubled.
"In a typical clinic, a medical assistant spends a lot of the day walking, getting patients, and bringing them from a waiting area to an exam room, which makes the staff unavailable to help the clinicians," adds Linda Eremic, Director of Primary Care and Shared Services for Pacific Medical Centers. "The doctors, in turn, spend a lot of time looking for that support staff, resulting in a noisy clinic with people walking around and calling for each other. Time is also wasted searching for lost equipment."
PacMed also sought to increase the number of patients seen in the clinic each day and to better track staff, patients, available rooms, medical equipment, and other assets. To achieve these goals, PacMed looked at traditional color-coded exam room flags, wireless headsets to coordinate the front desk with medical staff, and add-on tracking tools for electronic medical record (EMR) systems. Although each of these options addressed some of the clinic's needs, none addressed them all. Instead, PacMed sought a single solution for communication, tracking, and workflow management.
Kevin Jackson, Director of Development at Versus, says, "We standardized on one complete Microsoft technology stack—database, development environment, and operating system—because Microsoft brings not only a breadth of technology but also a huge support structure, including the Microsoft Developer Network and an 'ecosystem' of IT partner resources. This makes our application development process easier."
PacMed deployed the RTLS solution in April 2010 and expects to expand deployment to its other clinics as they are remodeled.
"With our RTLS solution, we've shrunk the average patient visit time from 70 to 46 minutes," adds Daniel. "And as an added safety benefit, if a patient is later found to have a contagious illness, RTLS reports can identify everyone the person had contact with at the clinic."
Specifically, by designing the clinic with a smaller waiting area and narrower hallways, it can accommodate more exam rooms and services, like an onsite endoscopy suite. However, Daniel says, "Without the RTLS and its automated patient flows, we wouldn't have been able to use our exam rooms so efficiently and add several revenue-generating resources." The automation also allowed the clinic to hire fewer staff, including 50 percent fewer registered nurses, to handle the high patient volume.
Daniel concludes, "To survive in today's fee-for-service healthcare world, we have to see more patients, deliver higher quality and safer care, and improve customer service. Thanks to the RTLS, our clinic has become a model for how to do all of this really well." For more information about other Microsoft customer successes, please visit: www.microsoft.com/casestudies
Pacific Medical Centers is a private not-for-profit, multiple-specialty healthcare network with 10 locations and 140 primary and specialty care providers in the Puget Sound region of the state of Washington.

It was kind of a disappointing week for this portfolio which could manage only an 0.2% gain from $142,020 to $142,260. Still, this performance bested the S & P 500 which edged down from 1,340 to 1,338. Put option premiums are quite high as investors are apparently expecting the market to correct - especially with the financials as weak as they are.For 2011 to date, results are as follows:Up 17.7% for the naked puts ($121,720 to $142,260)Up 06.3% for the S & P 500 (1,258 to 1,338)Since inception near the 9/16/10 close, the comparisons are:Up 42.3% for the naked puts ($100,000 to $142,260)Up 19.0% for the S & P 500With 2/3 of the one-year duration of the naked put portfolio now over, these funds have a 63.3% annualized return. With put premiums as high as they are and with time continuing to ebb away, I don't expect full twelve-month results to go down much from the annualized returns I now have. My best estimate of where I'll stand on Sept. 15 is a return ranging between the mid-50's and the low 60's. And that's just other-worldly as far as I'm concerned for such safe, stable blue-chip stocks. On that date, I will close out all remaining positions, transfer the profits to the bank to reduce my reverse mortgage balance and then I'll start a new 100K naked put-writing portfolio the next day but using just 100K instead of using some of the accumulated profits as I'm doing now.Each year on Sept. 16 (Mexican Independence Day), I will start over with 100K and I'll bank the profits. That way after I have accumulated profits over several years, I won't be in danger of losing the stack should a truly horrific market come along.

It's correct to call drag queens "her", as in Alana Daniels, Queen of the Strip.
IMO Alan is more of a drag than a drain, which term I prefer not to think about, given Chartnuts' Big John.
Ruffnuts, do you seriously imagine that Shameless is Clint? Are you really that nuts?
So, what exactly is the problem with Shamless' response to Chartwit? What response do you believe to be more appropriate? Perhaps, STFU?
Hee-Haw. Childish. Who pays for defense? Haw-Hee-Haw. Clint Stockwood also known as Shameless Jackass_______________________________________Much can be said as to what amuse people. I suppose you're too much of an idiot to evaluate that every time you parade your nonsense on this board, you leave no doubt in people's mind as to what a cretin you really are. This stupidity has been going on for over three months and you're still at it. It equates to having rocks in your head, plain and simple.To also spend as much time as you do upgrading your own messages so as to try to authenticate validity has to be the height of brainlessness. You can say all you want about Chartness, but we all know that he's twice the person you are.To ask you to grow up is a lost cause.
Hee-Haw. Childish. Who pays for defense? Haw-Hee-Haw.
I certainly had to pay taxes for the benefit of others when I was working and now it's my turn to start benefitting. I've still paid out a helluva lot more than I have benefitted.

Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors bring together a number of aspects of family firms that are ubiquitous in a number of institutional contexts, often as part of larger business groups. They pay particular attention to the mechanisms by which families retain control over firms, and the incentives of the families in control to expropriate other stakeholders by way of tunnelling.
