"Today, the Patrick-Murray Administration offered its support for projects that will keep people employed and add new workers to the Massachusetts workforce, attract significant private sector investment and spur economic activity throughout the Commonwealth," said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki. "These types of targeted investments are part of an overall economic development strategy designed to speed Massachusetts' economic recovery and position our businesses and cities and towns for long-term growth and prosperity."
The EDIP is the Commonwealth's investment tax credit program for businesses. In 2009, Governor Patrick and the Legislature reformed the program so that instead of awarding a fixed 5 percent investment tax credit (ITC) for all projects, the EACC now has the flexibility to make awards based on the applicant's job creation and retention commitments as well as its level of sales outside of Massachusetts. Since January 2010, 67 projects have received approval, leading to the creation of 4,260 new jobs, retention of 13,374 existing jobs and leveraging of more than $2.6 billion in private investment. The EACC has assisted 36 manufacturers through the EDIP program and supported 21 projects in Gateway Cities.
The EACC approved the following projects at today's meeting:
Manufacturing Retention Projects (MRP)
Magmotor Technologies, Inc. (Worcester) - Magmotor is a manufacturer of electro-mechanical motion control solutions for equipment manufacturers serving several high-tech markets - electric and hybrid vehicles, medical devices and semiconductor processing. The company plans to re-locate its manufacturing facility from West Boylston to Worcester, going from 14,000 sq ft of leased space to 43,500 sq ft of newly owned space. The expansion will bring manufacturing of some parts currently out-sourced to China to be manufactured in the US. Magmotor will create 45 jobs, retain 14 jobs and make a $4,375,000 private investment. The EACC has awarded $600,000 of EDIP-ITC to this important project that will be creating new manufacturing jobs in the Gateway City of Worcester. The City of Worcester granted a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) incentive of $514,553 over 12 years.
Expansion Projects (EP)
Bevovations, LLC (Leominster) - Bevovations is a recently formed company that is acquiring the cider-making operations of Carlson Orchards, Inc. of Harvard, MA. They will be relocating to a larger facility in Leominster, a Gateway City, as they are presently constrained by the existing plant and public infrastructure. The existing marketing network is being retained and will be augmented by an expanded marketing program. Their products are distributed throughout New England to farm stands, wholesalers and chain supermarkets such as Whole Foods, Market Basket, Roche Brothers, Food Master, Donelans and others. This expansion will create 6 new jobs and retain 6 jobs with a private investment of $3,050,000. The EACC awarded an $180,000 EDIP-ITC and the City of Leominster awarded a TIF in the amount of $242,226 over 12 years.
Vestas Technology R&D Americas, Inc. (Marlborough) - This project will be the North American research hub for electric power generators for Vestas, a Danish company and the global leader of wind turbines. The project has two parts. In the first they will lease an existing building for offices. In the second, they are purchasing adjacent property and plan to construct a R&D complex. Vestas will be creating 66 new jobs, retaining 33 jobs and making a private investment of $16,605,000. The EACC awarded the company $428,400 in EDIP-ITC and the City of Marlborough granted a 10 year TIF in the amount of $1,656,031.
Techo-Bloc (NE) Corp. (North Brookfield) - Techo-Bloc is a manufacturer of various styles of concrete products used in landscaping. They are a privately-held, family-owned Canadian business. They are purchasing and renovating an abandoned pre-cast concrete plant that has been vacant for 3 years. This manufacturing plant when operational will supply all New England states. Techo-Bloc plans to hire 52 new employees and retain 3 employees. The private investment is expected to be $21,655,875. The EACC awarded Techo-Bloc $1,300,000 in investment tax credits and the Town of North Brookfield granted a 10 year TIF in the amount of $98,692.
Warren Pumps, LLC and Portland Valve, LLC (Warren) - Currently Warren Pumps is located in Warren, MA and Portland Valve is located in South Portland, ME. The project will transfer Portland Valve's specialty valve product manufacturing from their existing Maine facility (which will be closed) to the Warren Pumps facility. Both are subsidiaries of publicly traded Colfax Corp. (CFX). Additional plans call for technologically upgrading the Warren facility's equipment for producing fluid-handling manufactured products. Warren Pumps plans to create 35 new jobs and retain 96 jobs. The private investment is expected to be $5,754,209. The EACC approved investment tax credits in the amount of $179,809 and the Town of Warren has approved a 5 year TIF in the amount of $2,164,581.
Gulfstream Aerospace Services Corp. (Westfield) - Gulfstream Aerospace Services Corp. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. Gulfstream designs, develops, markets, services and supports business-jet aircraft. The project will be located at the Westfield-Barnes Airport and be a part of the Gulfstream service center network. The Westfield Facility's primary business is to provide aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services. The project expansion is needed to service the new, larger G650 jets. Competition to win this project has been against other company-owned facilities in WI and GA. Gulfstream plans to create 100 new jobs, retain 131 jobs and the private investment is expected to be $20,750,000. Westfield is a Gateway City and the EACC awarded this project $1,452,500 in EDIP-ITC. The City of Westfield awarded a 15 year TIF in the amount of $4,206,372.
Seal Ryt Corporation (Westfield) - A manufacturer of braided textiles for fluid sealing and machined polymeric shaft bearings with various patents. The company plans to move from leased space in Easthampton, which they have outgrown, to purchasing an existing empty building in Westfield, a Gateway City. The company will hire 12 new employees and retain 14 employees. The private investment is expected to be $2,346,193. The EACC awarded Seal Ryt $220,439 in EDIP investment tax credits and the City of Westfield awarded a 5 year TIF in the amount of $67,308.
Mid City Steel (Westport) - The company has been in the business of processing scrap metal for seven decades. The company supplies recycled steel to a variety of different industries.

Hindu hardliner Narendra Modi, tipped to be India's next premier, sought to reassure Muslims on Saturday saying he would respect their religious traditions.
Protection of India's secular status has surfaced as a key election issue with critics worrying Modi's Hindu nationalist rhetoric could stoke religious tensions in a country where 13 percent of the 1.2-billion population is Muslim.
While India is majority Hindu, it also has one of the world's largest Muslim populations.
Modi, leading the campaign of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said he refused to don a skullcap presented to him by a Muslim cleric three years ago because he did not want "to hoodwink people".
"I believe in respecting traditions of all religions. But at the same time, I have to respect my own tradition as well although I respect all traditions. I can't hoodwink people by wearing such skullcaps.
"But I believe in taking action against those who show disrespect to other's caps... they should be given the strictest punishment," said Modi, chief minister of the western of Gujarat. Many Muslims wear skullcaps.
He added: "Every citizen has the same rights as Narendra Modi."
Modi, whose state has prospered under his leadership, paints himself as a pro-business reformist who alone can revive the economy of the world's largest democracy and opinion polls favour the BJP to win the elections, ousting the scandal-tainted Congress party after a decade of rule.
But Modi, a solitary figure remains a divisive figure after being accused of failing to swiftly curb 2002 anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat in which at least 1,000 people died.
Modi has repeatedly rejected accusations of wrongdoing and investigations have never found grounds to charge him.
Modi said he favoured upward mobility for Muslims, who official figures show generally are poorer, more illiterate and have lower access to education and smaller representation in public and sector jobs than their Hindu peers.
He suggested Muslims should enjoy the fruits of India's economic progress.
"I believe their children should get better educations. They should have a Koran in one hand and a computer in the other hand," Modi said.
Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the left-leaning Congress's campaign, told India's Aaj Tak television station in a separate interview that Modi has a divisive agenda.
"He represents an ideology that's to make Indians fight one another," Rahul said.
India's election authorities Friday ordered police to investigate remarks by a Modi top aide allegedly aimed at inciting religious violence. Amit Shah has been in the eye of a storm since he reportedly told several Hindu leaders to seek "revenge" at the ballot box.
He was speaking in a part of northern Uttar Pradesh state torn by Hindu-Muslim violence last September that left about 50 people dead.

I picked up a brochure from HD the other week and I see they offer a core option called "Evolution". It is advertised as being 40% lighter than particle board. I am trying to avoid formaldehyde, which I have heard is used in the solid core particle board doors.
Lowes has their version on solid core molded panel doors, which they call "Safe N Sound." They say it is low density fiberboard made from wheat straw and no formaldehyde. Does anyone have any experience with either of these solid core options? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you want information you need to tell us what company makes the doors, the type of door and perhaps the model number. Masonite makes two wheat straw door lines: Safe ŌĆśN Sound and Safe ŌĆśN Sound Emerald. |

please notice how my replys are being thumbs downed, if you liked my guide thumbs up my replys and thumbs down the kids that are trolling my threads. thank you.
this is how you played ryze pre-change, his AP scaling isnt good anymore. Build ryze as a tank/support or go home. he gets enough AP from his ult unless they are stacking MR which is not likely in the current metagame.
stop making bad guides.
and you call me the troll. take a look in the mirror man...you make all the condescending comments. p.s. bad guide
and then they will come and read the comments and ban you, good work?

Thumbs up patyrn for the good comment. Spell flux is good for cooldown players, I based my build on aggressive nuking. So far with a good laning partner you can down any fighter/mage/assassin within seconds. Has worked so far, but I have been getting bad scores exploring the different champion laning partners, its tough, makes me sad.

Yes, that's really me up there in the left corner.
Here's what I look like when I'm not imitating the art of Mr. Art Frahm.
So who is this chick that populates this lovely blog with such fine reading material? Well, in a wordy blurb…
I'm Nikki, but that is not my first name. It is my middle name. I've gone by my middle name my entire life. My mom named me knowing she would call me by my middle name. I used to hate it, but now I dig it…most of the time.
I'm a wife and a momma. Hubby is an all around damn fine husband, daddy, US Army officer, and utility company employee. He makes me laugh until my sides hurt and I'm glad I chose him for a husband and baby daddy. My two boys, Sam and Max, are 4 years old and 9 months old. I love being a momma. I love my boys more than anything in the world. I would die for them. I would cut off my own leg with a nail file for them (although, I hope I never have to). That being said, an overnight break from them is heaven on earth.
I'm also a momma to a cute Pomeranian, Pippy and a kitty, Miss Banana. We are the only females in the house, so naturally, we rule the roost.
I'm incredibly indecisive.
I'm in HR and I work for my family's business. Somedays its an awesome job. Other days, not so much.
And here's a photo of me just for the shi*ts and giggles of it…
I don't think I'm innately funny. I have to work on being funny. I wish I was naturally funny.
I'm the former Mrs. Mootz aka Yummy Mummy aka (Army) Wife from More Than An (Army) Wife aka A Yummy Mummy on a Pink Park Bench.
I L.O.V.E. party planning. For a bit I had a business called Pip Events. However, being a mommy and working full-time got in the way of having a successful business. I'm not giving up though on one day making Pip Events successful. Just not right now.
I have a bit of a potty mouth. F*ck is my favorite bad word. Although with two kids I've been trying to temper the foul language, so flippin' and shiznit regularly find their way into my conversations.
I'm a Republican (mostly) through and through. I want the money I work for. I don't want to give it to someone who "earns" it by sitting on their couch. If I'm rich and you're poor, that's really not my fault or my problem. If scientific testing on my unused embryos will cure cancer or AIDS, test away. War sucks, but it's a necessary evil. And don't even get me started on the new health care program.
I'm pretty selfish.
I don't handle stupid or drunk people very well.
I'm pro-choice. That does NOT mean I'm pro-abortion. It means women should be able to make their own choices. It means I might not be here if abortion was not an option. It means I would probably never have an abortion, but I realize that every woman is not me.
I'm not against same sex marriage, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that some people "refuse" to get married until gays can get married. It seems a bit silly to me to prolong your happiness until someone else can get theirs. I certainly wouldn't want anyone not doing something that would make them happy simply because I can't do it.
I laugh at some racist, sexist, religious, fat and blonde jokes. I don't think that means I'm a racist or a bigot. I just think that means I'm human with a sense of humor.
I'm not politically correct. I think political correctness is ruining our country. I wish more people would remove the sticks from their a$$es.
I will admit when I make a mistake. Granted, I will say I don't make mistakes often, but I will admit it when I do.
I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual. I have a relationship with God that is good enough for me. I respect everyone's decision when it comes to religion because I think we're all wrong.
I still have my teddy bear from when I was a little girl. When Hubs isn't home, Popsicle keeps me company at night.
My boys are all sorts of good looking. That's not an opinion.
The number of comments I receive and the number of followers I have don't validate anything in my life, including my worth as a blogger.
I don't understand people who say, "I'll forgive, but I won't forget." I think that if I forgive I have to forget. Otherwise, it will always be there, in the back of my mind and the resentment that comes from not forgetting will one day spill out and that means I have not forgiven.
I believe in signs and that everything happens for a reason. I may not know that reason at the time, but eventually it all makes sense.
I hate to clean, but I'm getting better at redding up the house every night. Yes, I used the words "redding up." That's a light cleaning for you non-PA Dutch folks.
I wish the world for my sons and I hope they knows every day of their lives how amazing they really are.
Finally, despite what some might consider my shortcomings, I think I'm good person. Despite the bad things in my life, I don't regret much. If people don't like me because of who I am and what I feel and believe, I'm okay with that. I wouldn't want them to change for me, so I'm not going to change for them.
So there you have it. I hope you stick around for more

Dark purple. Powerful, mineral-tinged aromas of black and blue fruits, potpourri and olive. Chewy, tightly focused cassis and blueberry flavors show a refreshingly bitter edge and become smokier with air. Quite rich but boasts excellent energy thanks to its bright minerality. Finishes sappy and very long, with sneaky tannins and a lingering violet note.

Starting with his 2011 Cornas, it's a rocking wine in the vintage that's still showing every bit as well as it did on release. Massive minerality, violets, bloody meat and sweet blackcurrant and black raspberry-like fruit all emerge here, and it's fabulously textured and silky on the palate. It will be interesting to see if this ever shuts down, but right now, it's a great drink. If you have multiple bottles, give one a try.

See 'The Hobbit' In IMAX 3D at Midnight, Get Four Exclusive Posters for Your Trouble
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 28, 2012 | Comments (2)By now, you've probably already decided which format you're going to see Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in, be it IMAX, 3D, 24 FPS, 48 FPS, 2D, PQUEZ (that one is a joke, you guys) or otherwise, but it looks like the marketing team behind the production just might have thrown a wrench into your decision. For those intrepid midnight movie-goers, Warner Bros. and IMAX have teamed up to put together a package of no less than four exclusive character posters for the film, posters that will only be given away to fans who come out to see the film for a 12:01AM 3D screening on December 14 at select IMAX theaters. While these posters should pretty much sell themselves, it is essential to note that these screenings will not be in 48 frames per second. But, hey, free posters. And Star Trek Into Darkness footage! Think you want to go? Check out this list of participating theaters that will all be doing the 12:01AM screenings with posters for giveaway (while supplies last, of course). Check out all four posters after the break.
Combining short films with titles like Wadzilla and The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, Chillerama is an anthology film stuffed to the brim with movie references from the collaborative minds of Adam Green (Hatchet), Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs), Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City), and Joe Lynch (Knights of Badassdom). Weaving the films together is the over-arching movie Zom-B-Film, a tale of a zombie pervert invasion at a drive-in movie theater. Chillerama features Joel David Moore, Lin Shaye, Ray Wise, Eric Roberts, and the man behind many masks, Kane Hodder, all of whom are intentionally hamming it up in roles ranging from cliched military generals to a Frankenjew to Adolf Hitler. Never taking itself too seriously, the film makes an inordinate amount of dick jokes, spills a lot of blood, makes two dozen poop jokes, and sprays all sorts of fluids across the screen. So if you're into that…
Put some of that popping corn on the stove and curl up with 'Midnight Movie.' Is it a DVD dump or a soon to be cult classic, or perhaps something in between?

I've noticed--not just here, but on other forums as well--that the images people are posting seem to be getting larger all the time. It used to be we were cautioned against posting anything over a certain size. (I think it was 640 x 480.) I guess that rule doesn't apply anymore.
All of this is not a problem for me, as I have a high-speed broadband connection. But I wonder if some other members might be having trouble loading these uber-images, to the point where they give up trying to look. This is a relatively quiet forum, but I thought I'd mention it here as the subject is Photography, after all. Any thoughts? Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have posted bigger pics, but more compressed. It does suck when a person is on dial-up, everything is so slow to open. |
I agree, I remember how frustrating dial up could be. I went with Photobucket's 640 X 480 and felt a little guilty. Let me know if they should be smaller from now on and I'll be happy to comply. Pam |
Pam, 640 x 480 is pretty standard. Otherwise, they're too small to see. Since this is a photo forum, we want people to be able to see our photos! :>) |

Thanks for the reminder! I usually post 640x480 but don't always remember to reduce them. |
Most of what I have on photobucket is 640X480. Ron |
Hmmmm....I have a question then. Just because I reduce the photos to 640 X 480 when uploading to Photobucket, it sounds like that might not necessarily mean that it reduces the size of the file? Or does it? Pam |
It should reduce it. But when I use IrfanView to resize my pics, the KB's are way more than when I resize in Paint Shop Pro and use higher compression. So there are two aspects to reducing the pics. I prefer to have them be 800 x 600 or so, and compressed more. They pop open fairly quickly and the upload is way faster. |
Thank you, Joan. I'm new to Irfanview and use it off and on...I like that you can resize/convert a whole batch of pictures. So much to learn. |
I do that all the time. Batch operation. Just make sure you put it in a NEW folder and as a double safety, make sure "overwrite files" is NOT checked! |
Hey Joan, off subject, remember when we traded e-mails a couple of times years ago about photography? I just got one of those things on Facebook suggesting you as a friend. If Facebook can dig up such obscure contacts, imagine what the Feds can do to check out our associates?! I guess I'm gonna hafta quit going to those Al Quida training conferences on line. |
Boy, that is odd, isn't it? Good thing we were only talking photo stuff and not bank-robberies or something! |

Let me know how your conversion turns out.
Mine charges but takes forever to cycle... Like three minutes. And I haven't gotten it to fully charge yet. I left it on the charger for like 6 hours and the light never went off.
I was pleasantly surprised that everything worked like new, especially considering it was a goodwill find.
My biggest issue is that the pack is too tight and I ruined an entire pack of fp100c today by tearing the dark slide, and subsequently messing up the frames from torn tabs.

Patrick Sullivan 01-29-2015 01:45 PMDallas won't win again until Jerry Jones passes the torch on all football related decision making. Seriously. This is a team that scored a grand total of 5...bleeping FIVE rushing touchdowns in all 16 regular season games of 2011. Plays in the NFC....the NFC east.....and can't run the ball into the endzone. A team that was top half of the league in defense in 2011.
Jerry Jones proceeds to preside over a draft that sees them move up in the first round to draft a high profile, publicity, guy at what position.....cornerback? out of LSU? A player that said he had no idea that Dallas was interested in him, and hadn't talked to anybody in Dallas.
Deion Sanders is long gone, and Deion didn't make that team win that last super bowl, almost 20 years ago now Jerry.
Yes, I'm a bitter, life long Dallas Cowboys fan who's first painful memory of the Cowboys was the first super bowl loss to the Steelers.
I"ve seriously considered giving up following the Cowboys until Jerry stops makes football decisions.
Passing the ball and rushing the passer are all that matters in Goodell's Fantasy Flag Football League. Real football - power running games and front 7s that suffocate the run - is for losers who watch the Super Bowl from the couch.
The Cowboys are solid in the passing game and the additions at CB should help the pass rush. They just need to limit mistakes. Look at their games last year - only the Eagles really dominated the Cowboys. The other six losses were competitive but featured mistake after mistake. Holding calls, interceptions, defensive penalties, etc. etc.
In recent years, the Cowboys have seemed to be a team that has more talent than what they show on the field. They seemed very undisciplined and made too many dumb mistakes that would cost them games. Whether it was turnovers, penalties or whatever. It just amazes me to watch the Cowboys play well enough to win a game, only to lose the game because of their undisciplined play.
I thought this was a problem associated with Wade Phillips (who I never thought was a good head coach). But this problem still exists with Jason Garrett. So if the Cowboys can somehow clean up their mistakes, then its possible that they are a super bowl contender. But I just don't see it.
The Cowboys have some great talent, but never a great team. With Jerry at the helm, there are always holes in the roster. They can't find five adequate lineman, or they can't find four good secondary players, or they have one substandard linebacker, but it just seems like we're always talking about some unit on the Boys that is letting them down in a major way. Jerry Jones is a failure. He needs to dump his kid and himself and hire some pro personnel. Until you hear about a big front office shake up, forget about it. To win the ultimate team game, you need a team first.
LOL! Cold Curtis; Cold. I think the Cowboys have a Good Chance to wrangle for playoff success this year. Mind you, the Eagles have Andy Reid on the Hot Seat, especially an executive "retirement" this past offseason and no more folks to trade on a national holiday or such. However, the same way that Hot Seat years can motivate teams like the Eagles, as it did the Giants last year, that's Exactly what Dallas needs. They had people jeer Amani Toomer's comments of praise for Tony; Romo needs to take that personal & use it as a constant all season with new doubts along the way. Dallas is still a laughing stock with some people and they are not revered like 15 plus years ago as champions. They gotta ban together and finish games with Ws. They have to be consistent all year. Jason Garrett will wind up being the X Factor to pull it all together.
Icing Your Own Kicker is still heartburn inducing!
Love Cowboy haters. Your jealousy of The Cowboys fame and overall success as a franchise fuels my fire and makes me love them even more, win or lose. Unlike most of you I don't hide when they lose and I actually know my team. Most of you can't name your team's starting offensive line without googling it. Woory about YOUR teams, not ours. That's all

Welcome to the site, where we talk about all teams. Not just yours, mine or his/hers.
1) Check my team avatar and post count before you go proclaiming love for and/or knowledge of a bad team.Love Cowboy haters. Your jealousy of The Cowboys fame and overall success as a franchise fuels my fire and makes me love them even more, win or lose. Unlike most of you I don't hide when they lose and I actually know my team. Most of you can't name your team's starting offensive line without googling it. Woory about YOUR teams, not ours. That's all
2) There are quite a few posters here who could name the starting o-lines for their tea, your team, my team and the Cleveland Browns without googling.
3) There are also a few guys here who could still name your starting o-line from those famed Jimmy Johnson cowboys (Tuenei, Newton, Stepnoski, Williams and... dammit...was it Gesek?)
4) My antipathy for the cowboys is borne of hatred of Jerrah and the way he callously fired my favorite football coach at the time (Landry). Jealousy is not involved. As a kid, I loved the 'boys.
Welcome to FP.
I hate the cowboys.
Plus, I mean, how much does the Norwegian Bikini Team have to suck for all of us to keep talking about the Swedish team?
It looks great, it's just that... every piece of fiction I've read coming out of Scandinavia, every television show set there and every travelogue exploring it, just makes me think it's the most...
Well, I know one thing. I would love to go see Norway. That place is gorgeous.

Ok my joam has been in the primary 2 months. I haven't moved it, opened it or tasted it. It had an active fermentation for nearly a month. It is starting to clear up.(but still not crystal clear) How long do you wait to transfer to secondary? Or should i cold crash to make the fruit drop? Any opinions will be helpful. Thanks -Derek
Just leave it be, that's what JAOM is all about, set it and forget it, let the fruit drop and it clear all in its own time. Then go to secondary with it.
Your almost there. Around month 3 the fruit usually drops. Mine did at about week 10. But still after the fruit drop and clearing rack and then let it sit another 3 months. It is well worth it to age a joam to about 6 months. Where it was drinkable for me at 3 months. I still just sipped an 11oz bottle. Now I can drink it fully with a smile.
A painting says a thousand words. But a painting while on good mead just looks funny!
My JAOM has been fermenting for approximately 3 weeks and it's already starting to clear. Wondering if I should just continue to wait for the 2 month mark or just wait till the fruit drops.
I'm adding a question! I let mine sit about 8 months...never secondaried (is that a word?) Anyways I bottled and have a tiny bit of sediment... But I had 1/2 a 12oz bottle that was at the end that I suck in the fridge and sampled the next night... It hurt...lol I think the "pithynest"from the oranges was STRONG!... will it mellow in the bottles? Or would it if been better to rack and secondary? Thanks Sean
It will clear and it will mellow. People often make JAO as a first mead, then promptly break the first rule, which is often the hardest to learn. The rule of patience. The sediment drops, doing the time honoured thing of gravity. Equally, the CO2 developed by the yeast munching the fruit sugars, will also move out and up, the fruit then also doing the gravity thing. There is no secondary stage as is normally understood. But you're facing the hardest part of making JAO........the racking. The nature of bread yeast is that it doesn't flocculate very well. Just moving the fermenter to where you're gonna conduct the racking, is enough to bring some of the sediment back into suspension. I move the fermenter 2 or 3 days, sometimes a week, before I intend conducting the racking. Then I rack to a bucket with great care, only the clear section, down to about an inch above the sediment and fruit. The racked part is usually ready for bottling. Then, the remaining part is racked to a 2 litre plastic bottle that has been sanitised and the top cut off. The bottle can be cut so its about 1 inch above the top of the liquid and then its covered with cling wrap and placed into the fridge for a day possibly 2. The cold is enough (usually) to settle any sediment and reducing the size of the bottle reduces both its size (and fridge space required) and the air space above the liquid. That allows me to rack the rest of the liquid off the sediment and I use a cup based racking cane with 6mm tubing. It minimises the racking loses..... I get 5 bottles per gallon (imperial a.k.a. 4.55 ltr - you should get/aim for 4 from a US gallon).
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
Thinking about brewing this one up tonight....in my reading I can't find anything about bottle carbing JOAM. Is there enough live yeast left at bottling time to carb it up? Or is this better left still? I don't have a keg setup so force carbing is not an option.
I started my first JAOM yesterday so I'm no expert on the recipe (though I have been making mead for several years) but as I understand it finishes sweet. Which means that the yeast has converted as much sugar to alcohol as it can and has died off. You won't be able to carbonate it without using special equipment. Using a different yeast would allow it to go dry and then an additional bit of sugar at the end would allow carbonation. However, using a different yeast in a JAOM seems to be a classic mistake. The recipe is designed to be followed very closely, it isn't analogous to any other recipe you're likely to find. My advice is to bottle it still and start a different recipe with the intention of carbonating it.

one of us has to do well,
and i'm pretty sure you pulled the good straw.
so do me a favor and stop being so unhappy.
i know i've been more gum than gear here,
but i think my intentions were generally good,
from start to finish;
the point being that even if i don't get a
medal or a parade, the least i should get is the
consolation that you like this life you're living.
is that really so unreasonable?
here you are, with the resourcefulness of the borrowers,
the cunning of nancy drew, and the adorable, disarming nature
of the mouse on the motorcycle.
so stop being so series of unfortunate events and start being
WAY more narnia. except the dark bits with aslan,
maybe Dr. seuss is the one i'm aiming for?
i definitely do NOT want you to try LSD.
what i mean to say is that you don't need to spend any time at all
hung up on some teenage boy. teenage boys are like guitar strings;
some may sound sweet, and some may last a long time, but it's the song
you play that counts and you really can't get in a twist just because
you break one.
that metaphor makes it sound like you can't play music without a boyfriend.
it also makes it sound like it's your fault when one breaks.
forget i said anything, what i should be telling you is that i just got done watching
'saving private ryan' and it occurs to me that you've never had to land on normandy under german machinegun fire, so it really can't be all that bad! i know you put on a brave face, but you should be putting on a brave EVERYTHING, because you are more than equal to the task of kicking life where it hurts, and trust me, life has it coming.
it's like one of those old time movies, like the thin man. did you ever see the thin man?
it's from '41, it's got myrna loy and william powell? they get really drunk and solve a murder because they're extravagantly rich and married. the point i'm making with the thin man is that i look really good in vintage suits, but as we both know, i'm a total asshole.
it's deceptive. so's life- it might have you convinced that it's winning, but in reality, it's just putting bugs in your hair on a playground- it can't really hurt you. unless you are kidnapped or hit by a bus or forced to liberate europe from a tyrant. which brings me back to the whole saving private ryan thing- something a lot of non-history tyupes don't know is that not everybody got the privilege of landing on the beach in a boat while they get shot at- there were people in the war called 'airborne' who volunteered to get out of bed extra early and jump out of planes before any of their friends could show up to help them out. these people are show-offs primarily, but they also demonstrate my next point of advice, so please do do me the favor of reading this far because i'm going to momentarily abandon similies for the next bit;
do it the hard way. even if there doesn't appear to be any extra reward, even if no one is watching, even if you're not sure you can do it or if you're sure you can't. do it one-hundred-percent. do it absolutely, completely step-by-step HARD. people may judge you for not doing it as well and you'll get tired for sure, but no one will ever say that you did anything less than ur best.
you may find yourself in a position where a simple mistake means you have to choose between showing up for a beating or running away from it, but if you look that court date in the eye, than no matter what, you'll know you gave it your best shot.
anyway, i know that middle school seems tough, and no lie, highschool is gonna be harder, but we both know that you can handle it, even if you don't want to. if you keep that lip stiff, and do your act 100%, you'll make yourself proud, and it won't matter what the rest of us think.
stay safe (you promised)

I'm really tight on money and I need a laptop that can atleast run LoL at 35-40 fps
A Noob Feeder
Senior Member
Newegg.com , anything with a dedicated video card will do. REMEMBER there's a big difference b/w a dedicated video card and an integrated one... though playing LoL on the lowest settings doesn't require all that much, and some of the better integrated cards can pull it off, but just to be safe get a dedicated card. Also, the best deals your ever going to get ALL YEAR LONG on electronics is from black friday sales, so if you can hold off for a few weeks, buy from newegg.com during the black friday sales and you'll be a happy camper.
Thank you for the reply, also is there a difference if the GHZ isn't 2.0?
Postal Twinkie
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834215663 That one is cheap, and would work just fine.
Anything with dual processor or better, integrated wont be bad if its intel but i heard AMD has better integrated on their A6's and A8's so you will be able to run LoL pretty well. I have radeon 7690 and on High and get a stable 60fps. I have an Intel i7 quad core though. (i dont use highest because i dont notice that big of a graphics difference so i dont want my pc to run a little or more harder for nothing just imo) and im on a laptop. lenovo ideapad Asus has really great laptops that will run on medium very good around $450 to. All past recommendations in this thread are great to. GHZ is on the processor, you want as much as possible. Lets say you have a dual proccessor that is 2.0 but a single processor has 3.2, take the dual processor its basically 4.0ghz with each core( to my knowledge correct me if im wrong). Dual processor will be fine, anything thats an intel i5, i7, AMD A6 or A8. I always recommend intel
Lol no dual core clocked at 2.0 is not single core 4.0. Dual core is basically 2cores sharing stress rather than 1core taking all the stress. Btw why laptop to play lol?
Pius Leviticus
run LoL? literally almost anything
The LT Twinkie linked is quite good for the price. You shouldn't need anything more than that to run Lol at modest settings. Though u may run into drop in frames if you run at max settings however.
Junior Member
I have a 300 dollar laptop from Best Buy that can play League of Legends at very low settings at a pretty stable 60. It drops to around 40 sometimes with occasional lag. The laptop has a single-core 1.8 ghz processor with four gigs of ram(3.86 usable). Point being that LoL can run on almost anything, but I recommend spensing at least 500 dollars. Refurbished laptops online provide the most bang for your buck, but they aren't your only option. Hope this helps.

Turner Field
Attendance: None
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Yunel Escobar hit a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning and the Atlanta Braves held on to edge the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, in the second of a four-game set at Turner Field.
Escobar finished 3-for-4 and scored a run, while Chipper Jones had a pair of hits and an RBI for the Braves, who have won three straight.
Derek Lowe (7-3) earned the win after going seven solid innings. The veteran righty allowed three runs on seven hits, struck out four and walked one. He improved to 7-0 lifetime against the Pirates and has pitched at least seven innings in five straight starts. Rafael Soriano registered his fifth save of the season.
"It was a win we should be proud of," Lowe said. "We fell behind 3-1, but it was more of one of those stick-to-it wins. We never gave up. We kept giving ourselves chances to score. The last three games have been a step in the right direction."
Robinzon Diaz had a two-run double and Adam LaRoche chipped in with an RBI for Pittsburgh, which as dropped three in a row and four of five.
Ross Ohlendorf went six-plus innings, but did not figure in the decision. The right-hander gave up three runs on eight hits and struck out four.
"I was hoping to pitch deeper in the game because our bullpen pitched so much last night (Monday)," Ohlendorf said. "The way I was throwing the ball I felt I was going to be able to go at least seven innings maybe longer, but gave up too many hits."
With Pittsburgh ahead 3-2, the Braves pushed two across to grab the lead in the seventh. Matt Diaz got the inning started with a base-hit and the Pirates brought in Sean Burnett (1-2) from the bullpen. Kelly Johnson reached on a bunt single and pinch-hitter Gregor Blanco moved the runners up a base with a sacrifice bunt. Nate McLouth walked to load the bases and the Bucs again went to the bullpen, this time bringing in Jesse Chavez. Escobar's two-run single to left put the Braves up 4-3.
Mike Gonzalez pitched a perfect eighth inning out of the Atlanta bullpen, then in the ninth Soriano came on and retired the next two batters, before Diaz reached on a two-base error by the third baseman Jones. Soriano then fanned Jack Wilson to end the game.
Back-to-back one-out singles by Nyjer Morgan and Delwyn Young put runners on the corners in the first, before LaRoche's sacrifice fly gave the Pirates the early lead. Jones' ground out to second brought home McLouth to tie things at 1-1 in the third.
However, Diaz's two-run double in the fourth put the Pirates ahead by a 3-1 margin. Brian McCann's RBI base-hit with nobody out in the sixth got the Braves within a run, but it could have been more. With runners on first and second, Garret Anderson bounced into a 3-6-1 double-play and Greg Norton ground out to end the inning.

To the voters of Montana: If you haven't voted yet, I'd like you to seriously consider voting for Amanda Curtis. I don't know her, but the fact she stepped up to the plate on such short notice tells me she's gutsy.
And if it is someone we need right now it's someone with guts, not one of those "by the book," "talking out of both sides of their mouths" politicians. Give the kid a chance.
If I was her campaign manager, rather than put her up against a confirmed politician, I would have scheduled town meetings across the state so the people of Montana could have gotten to really know her, and not listen to some manicured party sound bites.
Let's give her a chance.

I support Amanda Curtis for the U.S. House of Representatives because she will represent Montanans.
Amanda Curtis will fight for legislation to protect our right to be in control of our own healthcare decisions. [Steve] Daines voted against that right. Amanda Curtis supports funding to stop domestic violence and supports sexual assault prevention programs; Daines touts his support but then votes for a bill that cut $400 million from the programs' budgets.
Amanda Curtis supports equal pay for equal work for women; Daines voted five times to block the Paycheck Fairness Act, which guarantees women equal pay for doing the same job.
Daines voted twice to turn Medicare into a voucher system which could force seniors to pay higher premiums. He voted to increase Medicare eligibility from age 65 to age 67. He twice voted for the proposed budget that repeals Medicare benefit improvements and reopens the prescription drug donut hole.
Daines voted to slash funding for Meals on Wheels, Senior Centers and Family Caregiver Support when these services desperately needed to be increased. The only thing Daines seems to support is big business and tax breaks for corporations sending jobs overseas.
Amanda Curtis supports women and our having equal pay, seniors and our Medicare benefits, keeping jobs in Montana, our Second Amendment gun rights, and a good education for our children.
A vote for Amanda Curtis is a vote for Montanans!

Recently I received a flier from the [Tonya] Shellnutt Campaign focusing on "Women to Women." The piece talked about the candidate's strong values and looking for solutions, not division. So I Googled the candidate and learned the following.
Tonya has been the volunteer state director of Concerned Women for America. According to that website: the mission of CWA is to protect and promote biblical values among all citizens - first through prayer, then education, and finally by influencing our society - thereby reversing the decline in moral values in our nation. Under the section that introduces the new state director, the Montana Senate candidate states: "Join me as we band together in Montana and across the nation to be the conservative voice that doesn't waver, compromise, or succumb to apathy."
Apparently the "solutions, not divisions" only works if you agree with her. I will vote for Mary McNally, and I urge you to support and vote for Mary. She really is about solving problems.

Mary McNally is the clear choice for Billings. As a member of the House of Representatives in Montana, she has the necessary experience to continue her excellent work in the Senate.
She has stood up for the right of Montanans to access public lands, used her experience as a professor of business to help build the economy of Montana and worked hard to listen to the people she represents.
She has been very involved within the Billings community, having spent nearly 30 years as a professor at Montana State University Billings. She lives in the district she represents. McNally has volunteered many hours of her time to organizations and charities throughout Billings, getting to know her constituents along the way.
Mary has shown she works for the people of Billings and all Montanans. She will continue to bring her experience and passion to the state legislature, working hard for everyday folks.
I urge you to vote for Mary McNally.

The Gazette Opinion says: "Montana will benefit from having a businessman in the U.S. Senate." Then, "Daines started his House term with a string of "no" votes that are concerning … ." One such vote resulted in the government shutdown.
The cost to the American economy of that shutdown, according to Standard and Poor, was about $24 billion. Not exactly coveted business acumen.
The Gazette says: "In the Senate, compromise will be essential and we believe Daines recognizes that fact." And, "… he's not above working to find solutions that will have real-life impact on folks … he's still trying to work with the (Obamacare) law rather than be an obstructionist."
About two months ago Daines prefaced a town hall conference call by saying he believed one of the problems with Washington was the lack of willingness to compromise and work together. Asked if he would then be willing to consider that the parts of Obamacare that were working should be maintained and the focus should be on fixing that which didn't work, he was immediately evasive, but before the end of the conference call, he told everyone that he really felt that Obamacare needed to be repealed.
He favors repealing a bill that helps thousands of Montanans. When will Daines develop this compromise gene? Amanda Curtis is a refreshing candidate and she will represent the people of Montana, all the people. Vote Amanda Curtis for the U.S. Senate!

Having spent my career dealing with issues relating to our senior citizens, I have experienced how court decisions can have a lasting impact on our senior population.
For example, decisions relating to estate disputes, elder abuse, landlord tenant issues, fraud, contract disputes, family law and competency hearings are some of the areas that I know will be presented to the next district judge. While both candidates have ample criminal experience, only William Speare has experience in these and other civil areas.
I encourage everyone, especially our senior population, to recognize the relevance of the candidates' experience and vote for William Speare.

Haiti, Avatar … and the War of Worldviews
March 2010 Dear Friend of Creation, The response of Christian Americans to the devastating earthquake in Haiti has been quite admirable and in the same spirit as Lincoln's remarks. But our culture today – with its culture-war between the godless segment of society and a God-fearing segment – interferes with the outward expression of a Lincoln-style analysis. This has been evident in the reporting of the Haitian earthquake and its aftermath. No longer can we talk about a national calamity in terms of God's judgment without ridicule. The secularists and multiculturalists wish to make no moral conclusions regarding the natural disaster or the disproportionate damage due to a dysfunctional society. Different cultures should all be regarded as equal, and everything should be explained by chance circumstances and "science." That last highlighted phrase is exactly the way many folks would justify a belief in evolution. In fact, "chance" is the god of evolution (working through natural selection and mutation), and its pseudo-science is given a scientific credibility it doesn't deserve. But chance and this kind of "science" force God out of the picture – and that is intentional! As with evolution, many people think science has earthquakes all figured out. But this is not true. Electromagnetic fields, seismic patterns, ground movement, weather conditions, radon or hydrogen gas content of soil or ground water, water well levels, animal behavior, and the phases of the moon have all been used in modern times to try to predict earthquakes – but to no avail. Only for very well-understood fault-lines can seismic maps estimate a probability over a certain number of years that an earthquake of a given size will affect a location. Forcing God out of the picture also dictates that we can't claim one culture or religion is better than another; that we shouldn't argue in favor of cultivating biblical principles over other traditions. Yet Haiti's history/culture/society is a clear case of how the repudiation of biblical principle has led to human misery – from voodoo and pacts with the devil, throwing out the church in its own revolution as did the French in theirs, to systemic corruption and abuse of the poor by its ruling class who keep cheap labor available and profits up with 80% illiteracy and monopolies in business. Haiti's horrendous death toll and cataclysmic damage must be at least partly blamed on a history of bad policies and corruption pursued by its own leadership. Choices have consequences. Living by or in repudiation of the Ten Commandments has consequences – both for individuals and nations. And if godlessness and multicultural political correctness are thoroughly sewn into the social fabric of this country, then you can bet that America will reap a justly deserved demise. This time, though, the judgment will not be for slavery – it will be for a general repudiation of the living God and Creator. Support for the new politically correct paganism comes from evolution – a classic replacement of God with the "creature." Though the Bible tells us that the invisible attributes of God are clearly seen, "being understood through what has been made" (Romans 1:20), men gravitate by their own rebellious foolishness toward pantheism and other forms of paganism, and this has been the tendency throughout the history of the human race. By an act of their rebellious will, men refuse to acknowledge God, plunge into foolish and futile thinking, and exchange the true incorruptible God for an image from nature of "the creature rather than the Creator" (Romans 1:25). In the recent blockbuster movie Avatar – which surpassed Titanic to become the highest money-making film of all time – director James Cameron created a computer-generated fantasy world of pantheism where it appears quite noble and idyllic to live primitively as "one with nature" – in trees, hunting for your food daily with a bow and arrow. But contrast Avatar's world with the real world – with Haiti, for example – where most of the people have lived about as primitive an existence as you will find. And it is far from noble. Furthermore, the aid flowing into Haiti following the earthquake is not coming from people who live in trees and hunt for their food as in Avatar. It is coming primarily from Christians and countries whose developed civilization has been the result of the biblical principle that man has dominion over nature – NOT that he is one with it. The same principles that have led to the harnessing of nature to produce electricity, refrigeration and earthquake-resistant construction have also led to increased food production, medicines, conservation of resources and wealth in general. Pantheism only works in the movies. In real life, the result of pantheism is poverty and suffering. Yet the secularists of today want to push us in the direction of a new paganism, repudiating a biblical worldview with their propaganda. Evolution is the support. The truth of theism becomes replaced by the lie of humanism or pantheism. The Creator is replaced by the creature. They say, "Don't analyze world events as Lincoln did. Instead, look to nature, chance and 'science' – via evolution." At Creation Moments we stand against the foundations of the insidious political correctness and propaganda of our day. And we proclaim the truth that God is who the Bible says He is! Please help us in this great mission for our times by prayerfully discerning how the Lord may prompt you to support our ministry. Thank you and God bless you! Yours in Christ, Mark Cadwallader, Board Chairman P.S. This month I'd like to send you an exciting DVD called The Message of the Grand Canyon: Does It Support God's Word? Tom Vail, Grand Canyon researcher and tour guide of over 30 years, answers many key questions that divide creationists from evolutionists, such as: How old is the Grand Canyon? Was the canyon formed with a little water and a lot of time … or a lot of water and a little time? We'll send this DVD to you for a donation of just $30 or more.

In his famous second inaugural address Abraham Lincoln spoke of the Civil War as a divine judgment on our nation for slavery. His point in the famous speech was the biblical principle that "we reap what we sow" and that we should thus proceed with repentance, humility and kindness in the face of God's righteousness and sovereignty.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 3:27pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 3:56pm
HOUSTON (AP) - Attorneys for two condemned Texas inmates are accusing state prison officials of violating federal law for more than 25 years by improperly acquiring drugs used for executions.
Letters sent Wednesday to the U.S. attorney general and the Texas public safety department director contend the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been buying drugs for lethal injections using a federal registration number assigned to a prison hospital that hasn't existed since about 1983.
The lawyers represent inmates Cleve Foster, who is set to die Tuesday, and Humberto Leal, facing execution in July.
Prison agency officials had no immediate response.
The attorneys say if the prison system is found to have violated the law, federal officials could revoke its permission to possess controlled substances. That presumably could block future lethal
