Hey all. First time poster and first time brewer... Did a bunch of research and then bought a DIY kit from a local brew shop. Probably your standard sort of kit, with a 7 gallon bucket with a lid and an airlock as well as a bunch of bottling supplies and a bottling bucket. Also had pre-portioned kits of ingredients there which I thought was a good idea for a first-timer. I picked some sort of cream ale kit. Anyway, did all of the brewing work yesterday and made the wort. Everything went good (had a little bit of boilover but not nearly as bad as the horror stories I read about) yesterday and I threw it in the fermentor w/ the airlock and went to sleep. This morning I woke up to the airlock happily bubbling away. However, when I got back to work I found that the lid had been forced open and there was some wort outside of the bucket. The airlock was also filled with wort and a shelf 6" above the airlock was sticky. I figure that it foamed up high enough to fill up the airlock and then it went downhill from there. I doubt I used any of the wrong ingredient quantities because they were part of a kit. So, the two obvious questions are (1) Why did this happen? and (2) Has this compromised my beer? I understand that there are sanitation concerns, of course. But I put the lid back on and cleaned out the airlock and it seems to be bubbling away again. Thanks in advance, Scott
You're fine.
Also: welcome to the boards!
I had this happen my 4th brew and asked this vary ? of these same people. I was assured that I would be ok and my beer came out fine. Mine did blow up 2 times and on the 2nd time I used a bottling hose to make a blow off tube and this worked vary well. You will get much more experienced people to reply here than me but as I said you should be ok.
Thanks for the welcome! And thanks for easing my nerve on this. I'm hoping it turns out delicious. Here's how I see things going. This batch turns out so great, that I keep on brewing. I get tips and feedback from my friends who will be more than excited to be a part of any sort of free beer situation. I eventually (5-7 years) leave my job to start my own microbrewery, with limited success, because I still won't know quite what I'm doing. My wife will leave me and she'll say it's because I threw my life away, but I'll always think it was because she couldn't stand the smell of hops. I'll post here all day long and be like with all of you guys until a couple years later (now about 7-10 years from now) you hear that I have a restraining order on that ex-girlfriend because I keep calling her to tell her I threw away all of my hops. You flip through the channels and see me on Dateline sporting a beard and mullet, and shortly drop off of the grid. Years later (15-40 years now) you will run into me on the street and I will tell you how much my life has turned around since I got out of rehab, but really, I will just have been the same old guy I was, just with too much pride to admit that I really miss you guys. Anyway, that said, Thanks again for the welcome, and pre-emptively: I miss you all! And a P.S.: Thanks for moving my post to the correct forum. I must have missed seeing the "BEGINNER" there. I always yell at people for posting in the wrong forum and appreciate someone being a better man/woman than I.
Welcome...funny story. I've never had a blow off but always keep a blow off hose nearby just in case. Your beer will be fine, in fact, a nice start. Fermentation is key as you will find out. Focus on this and your beers will continue to improve.
Kai is right. You;re fine and Welcome
Don't let it get to warm. Is there a fermometer on the bucket? What temp is it fermenting at? Nice story by the way and welcome. My wife loves hops so I guess we are stuck with each other.

1990 Volvo 240Visitor, Mukilteo, WA, June 05, 2010 18:55I have had about a dozen 240 series Volvos, and they are solid and reliable. I replaced the last one with a MB SLK, because it is just more fun. Still, I still own a 1990 245 that my daughter drives, and she has driven away from beng hit twice, when the other cars were towed off. It isn't a race car, but they are good cars when it counts.Flag ThisLike0
1990 Volvo 240mrham63, Morton, IL, December 16, 2009 20:16I have a Volvo 240 with 289,000 miles. This is a solid car and easy to work on. It is built tough and safer in a crash than most of the other toys on the road. It does not use any oil and I can get 26-27 mpg on the road. The key is good maintenance and common sense driving. They are roomy, with a big trunk and the pass thru in the back seat is great for hauling long items like a couple of 8ft 2 x 4 boards. I wish they still made these I would buy a new one in a heartbeat.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike0

1990 Volvo 240Jumba, Walnut Creek, CA, December 13, 2008 20:33I drove this Volvo though out most of high school and college. While the 244GL was a safe car, it didn't have much else to offer. The Volvo repair shop was a frequent destination while owning this car. I had a massive folder full of repair receipts that almost bring tears to my eyes just thinking about it. The Volvo had a 3-speed automatic transmission that would skip 2nd gear, electrical problems that caused the alternator to die in the middle of a busy freeway late at night and a pathetically weak engine that would only go 85mph downhill. On top of that, the car got only 15mpg. Also it was not a chick magnet. Needless to say I do not miss that boxy beast.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike0

Tennis: Federer takes Halle title for seventh time
Published on Jun 16, 2014 6:46 AM
HALLE WESTFALEN, Allemagne (AFP) - Switzerland's Roger Federer won the Halle grasscourt tournament for the seventh time on Sunday with a 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (7/3) victory over Colombia's Alejandro Falla.
Federer, 32, the defending champion and world number four, was too powerful for the world number 69 as he claimed his second success of the season after Dubai in February.
It was Federer's 79th career title – and 14th on grass – and provided the Swiss with a timely boost ahead of his bid for a record eighth Wimbledon crown in a weeks' time.
"It is great to have won seven times here," said Federer. "It is very special and I hope to come back here next year."

Tensions Broil in Ukraine; Cyber Wargames; The First Armed Drone Operator Breaks Silence
Friday, November 21, 2014Your Weekend Reader, parsing the best stories of the week:
Ukraine: "a slow collapse?" That's the opinion of the New York Times editorial board. Meanwhile, the United States steps up delivery of non-lethal aid to Ukraine, including its first Humvees. The ceasefire continues to fray: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warns that Ukraine's planned economic blockade of the eastern separatists "paves the way for a new invasion." Pavel Felgenhauer, writing in the Jamestown Foundation's Eurasia Daily Monitor, concludes that eastern Ukraine's Donbas has effectively become a Russian protectorate. The crisis isn't over.

The freedoms we enjoy are on full display during this type of crisis. There is no more rewarding feeling then giving of oneself for nothing more than a smile and a thank you. But those opportunities don't go away when we aren't challenged in the way Irene challenged us. They are on display every day throughout the region, state and country whenever someone lends another a helping hand. So many good causes to help each other at times we take them for granted.
It's exactly this type of spirit we need to be reminded of when we address the many other problems facing our country. Let's not worry about who gets credit for what, let's all just roll up our sleeves and work together to solve the problem. There will be time later on to argue about the finer points.
With the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 coming up this weekend, we are reminded of what acts of unselfish commitment to help a stranger are all about. So as the many around us who go about putting their lives, homes and communities back together let us all keep in mind the strong sense of unity we all felt after 9-11 and sense of accomplishment and satisfaction we feel when helping those struggling to recover from this recent devastation.
Just imagine what we could accomplish as a nation if we could act in this manner without the need to respond a catastrophic event and what a difference it would make in so many lives.
We will always be faced with tough challenges, but working together there is little we can't accomplish when we pull our resources and act unselfishly for the good of all.

In light of our nearly nonexistent winter this year, is anyone getting outdoor beds and gardens in already? I'm on the Texas gulf coast near Houston. Our winter was so abnormally mild that my petunias in my barn flowerbeds never died back, and neither did my parsley or cilantro. Talk about bizarre!
I purchased a whole slew of seeds figuring if it is too chilly still at night then perhaps they won't germinate just yet. Temps are in the 70's and 80's in the daytime, and 50's to 70's at night. Do you think I am safe to go ahead and plant them? Also, I am quite used to letting mother nature pull the trigger on planting her own bluebonnets because they do better in sandier soils than our clay gumbo. That said, I have some mature beds which we have built with sand, stall cleanout, and mulch over the years and I would love some bluebonnets in them. Is it too late to expect anything from seeds if I plant them? Cheers
Follow-Up Postings:
Spring sprung here about a month ago. My parsley and cilantro love the winter, not so much these warm temps. Like yours, my petunias have been blooming non-stop. The pineapple sage too. That's a first for me. I plan on sowing zinnia and cosmos seed next week. |
What are your thoughts on planting sunflowers from seed this week? My Italian parsley typically dies back, as do all my herbs other than the rosemary. Seems like the harder the.conditions, the more that rosemary thrives. Cheers |

Bluebonnet seeds need to go down in October, if you need seeds for next year, I will mail bluebonnet seeds for postage. Barbra |
Yes, I'd definitely say spring has sprung. Not that we should overlook any cold sensitive plants, but for the most part, I think we're on our way. Just looking around, there is a sense of the natural world waking up (trees greening, the sun higher up, warmer temps. more bug activity). I always have a mixture of plants in containers and in a garden bed. I still move plants indoors on nights below 50s, but otherwise, the containers are at full capacity. The garden bed is sort of on hold for a couple of more weeks, but I'm planning on the future arrangement now. There are a few things still growing, that I'll let continue (broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, peas). |
There is an old farmer's saying about choosing the right time to sew seeds. "When the oak leaves are as big as mouse ears." Although, being from Michigan originally, I'm not even sure if Oaks lose their leaves down here. But since just about all the other trees are budding nicely I have begun to plant my seeds already. Plus, if you look at the monthly averages on theweatherchannel.com you will see we are beyond frosty nights, unless we break some records. |
Don't be surprised to see a freeze for Easter! |

Don't be surprised to see 80's for Easter! Our weather has a mind of its own. I have seen it get too hot to plant by March. I was eating strawberries in December the year before. |
Strawberry harvest begins in early December here. We've alreday had a number of days with highs in the 80s. Today is was 87. Tomorrow's forecast is 88. I dread summer!!! |

Pecan trees have dropped thier tassels. That means there will not be another freeze. |
Pecans are always late to bud out. Has nothing to do with freezes. |

Commissioners demand 'green' wonder prove black-and-white dollar value
Written by Quintin Ellison- Judge tells Jackson County to get moving with courthouse security
- Couple conserves private tract in Jackson
- Cullowhee zoning heads to commissioners
- Macon, Jackson negotiate payment for services
- Student housing developer in hot water
- New Jackson board passes anti-fracking resolution
- Erosion from DOT job concerns Jackson residents
- Jackson commissioners consider county attorney applicants
How fickle fortune can be, Timm Muth, the director of the oft-touted Green Energy Park, found upon tendering a simple request this week to the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.
Muth's desire to advertise an open staff position gave way instead to a drilling down into the project's overall worth — or, rather, its continued cost. The park, envisioned at the outset some five years ago as economically self-sustaining, has to date not been.
But it will be, Muth said. Just wait until the original vision is completed: the addition of a new pottery studio and studio spaces. Then, Muth said, the rent received from artists and craftspeople will prove the tipping point.
"I don't see how you can make that statement," newly elected Republican Commissioner and local businessman Doug Cody flatly responded after eliciting from Muth that there's an absence of hard numbers to back that claim. Prove it, Cody told him. Perform a cost analysis, top to bottom.
The Green Energy Park opened late in 2006 to overwhelming public acclaim. This was a time, not so long ago, when Democrats ruled Jackson County and North Carolina.
The park was deemed a "technological first," an environmental wonder, "the first place anywhere" to take landfill gas and use it to make biodiesel fuel, as Muth said then. By his side were officials eager to share in the glory of such a thing. Those officials included Larry Shirley, then the director of the North Carolina State Energy Office, who proclaimed: "This is an example of what will take place across the nation and the world."
Maybe not. These days, the wind is blowing right, not left. And the Green Energy Park might not survive conservative commissioners' efforts to back election promises they made to scrutinize the county for fiscal waste and potential savings.
The Green Energy Park was built next to a closed county landfill outside Dillsboro. The $1.2 million project was a means of recovering methane — a byproduct of the landfill's decomposing trash — to heat greenhouses and help fuel a blacksmith forge. A crafts village (hence the pottery studio Muth mentioned) was part of the plan.
Last summer, the Green Energy Park served as a backdrop for a visit by Gov. Beverly Perdue and the Appalachian Regional Commission. The officials came for a tour, along the way dubbing the project a symbol of the new green economy.
Less than three months later, Republicans grabbed control of the state's General Assembly and of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners. In addition to Cody, Republican Charles Elders was elected, as was Chairman Jack Debnam, who ran as an Independent but relied on the GOP's local political structure and advertising dollars to help secure victory.
Debnam started Muth's difficulties in front of the board, reeling off a series of questions in Socratic fashion about the project's cost to taxpayers: some grant money that had been built into the Green Energy Project's budget hasn't come through; the irony that thousands of dollars are required from the county to support the park's utility bill; about rent and such not offsetting other costs.
Muth, who surely had some sense of what was coming because there were references to a prior tour of the facility by the board's new members, seemed unprepared to answer such pointed questions.
About that pottery studio, Cody said: "All that sounds good on paper, but it costs money." Cody made additional requests for hard numbers. And he asked the director, "What's the end game on this thing?"
Democrat Commissioner Joe Cowan joined in with questions. He told Muth the board hadn't had been given adequate time to review the information that was provided. More time also was needed, Cowan said, to review the director's request that he be allowed to advertise for a new employee to replace Assistant Director Carrie Blaskowski.
Muth left to Cody's words, "I'd just like to reiterate that I'd like to see a cost analysis done on the whole thing."

Clayton News Daily
The working man's holiday is upon us once again. It's the second one since the Great Recession began and the first one since we were probably able to gather a collective deep breath.
We have a better idea of where our economic bottom is, which is a little easier than the chasm we were staring into last year when we were wondering how far down we could go. One year ago, we were starting the icy slide downward in the stock market that had people taking their laptops to bed with them, either out of depression or obsession. People were watching helplessly as their pensions and college funds dwindled down to almost nothing. Office pools were taking bets on where the bottom would finally turn out to be. This Labor Day we're all a little more economically sober and maybe some of the sting has worn off as we've picked through the financial rubble and started to rebuild our savings. Of course, the country has a deficit so large it's difficult to imagine how that could get paid back unless GM suddenly comes out with a car that runs on smog, and can buy back the government's investment in their bailout. AIG could always pay back the money because it's the right thing to do. See, you smiled just a little at that joke. The truth is we've seen a lot of measures to stop the gush of red ink, but have yet to see any proposals besides a public element to the health-care bill that contain innovative ideas aimed at bettering the lives of the middle class. Here are a few suggestions I've come up with that borrow a little from past successes with a few twists. Offer a paid trip through state college for GI's, but this time include those willing to teach in K-12 public schools, social workers and those going into law enforcement or public safety. Require a certain number of years post-graduate in the field as payment for the taxpayers' generosity and work out a plan with the state colleges who already receive public funding. Make a deal with all of the banks that received federal bailout money to offer foreclosed homes at a discount to the same list above, before the general public sees the list. Make it a package deal with a qualified fixed rate mortgage. Bailout money, which comes from the middle class paychecks, should have consequences for those who took the funds that benefit the middle class. That would finally take it all back to more of a capitalist economy where the one who's doling out the money actually gets something real in return. As it stands now, there are a lot of companies on the public dole not too long after we had started to phase out welfare. That's ironic. In fact, every company that took the bailout money can offer, at a deep discount, something worth having to this group of our society that does the work that ensures we stay a great country, but generally never sees the economic rewards. Proof of the soundness of this idea would be the benefits offered to veterans of WWII, such as a college education and better mortgage rates that contributed to building such a solid middle class in the first place. Many people got the opportunity to pursue a higher education and be the first in their family to attend college. Towns became dotted with starter homes that lead to stable local economies and new members at civic organizations. Everyone in America ended up benefitting from their contributions. We can take this opportunity that the Great Recession has given us and write to our elected representatives to tell them we expect a little something for our money. That's other than some kind of vague reassurance that we averted disaster. We actually want more than that this time. Start typing, everyone. Happy Labor Day, America.

Hmm, that's interesting. I don't add any HWC or milk into my MMF recipe. Just marshmallows, a tablespoon of water and powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency I want. I'm not sure what adding the heavy whipping cream will even do. Sorry I can't help more!
Salt Lake City- Michele Foster's Fondant recipe calls for cream- no marshmallows. It is used by many here on Cc and is very good from what I hear and i am excited to try it.
here is the link to the recipe:
Oohhh, marshmallow CREAM! Got it! haha, I was thinking that would be weird with my recipe :) Thank you for clearing that up! Jennifer
Salt Cake City
The question of the OP was referring to MFF (Michele Foster's Fondant), not MMF (marshmallow fondant). All these acronyms get so confusing.
I use half and half, cause I already keep it stocked for my coffee, heavy cream is absolutely not necessary.
I use heavy cream (so that I can turn any leftovers into butter), but you can honestly use whatever is on hand. Any liquid should work.

The image is captured by an array of charge-coupled devices (CCDs), stored in the camera's random access memory or a special diskette, and transferred to a computer for modification, long-term storage, or printing out. Since the technology produces a graphics file, the image can be readily edited using suitable software. Models designed and priced for the mass consumer marketas opposed to costly models designed for photojournalism and industrial photographyfirst became available in 1996. They appeal particularly to users who want to send pictures over the Internet or to crop, combine, enhance, or otherwise modify their photographs.

Sorry, but if your coming to linux thinking that you will find software
of comparable performance to something such as Ableton Live, you are
very mistaken. Nothing on linux even comes close to Ableton Live and
probably never will.Why not just use Ableton Live? Save yourself a whole lot of trouble.
Oh, and using linux audio software live? I wouldn't.

The phrase "invasive plant species" typically evokes negative images such as broad swaths of kudzu smothered trees along the highway or purple loosestrife taking over wetlands and clogging waterwaysand as such, invasive plants are largely viewed as major threats to native biodiversity. However, research has shown both that invasive species may be one of the most important threats to biodiversity and that plant invasions are rarely the cause for native species extinctions. How can these conflicting pieces of evidence be reconciled?
Kristin Powell, from Washington University, MO, was interested in determining whether some of the differences in the effects that invasive plant species had on biodiversity was in fact due to the spatial scales at which they were studied.
"Biological invasions are often thought to be one of the leading threats to global biodiversity," Powell comments. "However, recent studies and popular literature have begun to question this view, especially in the context of invasive plants, asking 'Are invasive species really that bad?' For example, invasive plants have never been implicated as the sole cause in driving a native plant extinct."
To tackle this apparent conundrum, Powell and her co-authors took a two-prong approach; first, they conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize results from as many previous studies on the subject as they could find, and then they developed a model to investigate mechanisms that might explain their results. They published their findings in the recent Biodiversity Special Issue of the American Journal of Botany (http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/reprint/98/3/539).
Powell and her colleagues found 57 studies containing information on average species richness with and without invaders. They used a meta-analysis because it is a powerful tool that allows each study to be used as a separate data set, to some degree. B

S2SB2B: When Solomon Sings
Could Shaylynn Ford be the perfect woman for Neil Taylor? Neil certainly thinks so. The problem is, he's pretty sure he's not her perfect man—that was her husband, Emmett, a wealthy politician who was assassinated eight years ago. Neil, the director of a Christian school, is gifted with a singing voice that can heal the sick and bring souls to Christ, but his own soul is burdened by his insecurities and past indiscretions. He feels like he's in competition with the memory of Emmett—and Neil's desperation to win Shaylynn's heart may lead him to do something he may regret. Meanwhile, Shay herself is head over heels for Neil, and she just wishes he would open up to her. It may take a miracle to make Neil's heart sing again.

April 26
There will undoubtedly be many great posts on many sites about the Freddie Awards that will review the winners/losers in the various award categories, but while I will cover a couple of those, I really want to just take you through what it was like to be a part of the "Freddies experience". This was my first time at this event, so I really didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a pretty fancy and very well run event! I feel honored to have been able to attend, and want to share that experience with those of you who weren't able to join in this year (though I hope many of you can in future years!).
4:30PM – 5:30PM Informal cocktail hour:
Truthfully, this was one of the best parts. Things weren't too loud, you got to sit around with old friends, meet new friends, talk about current and past promos and just have a good time. I got to hang out during this "pre-event time" with Frugal Travel Guy, Globe Trot Scott, Just Another Points Traveler, Frequent Miler, more old and new friends from Milepoint and Flyertalk. The only downside to this part of the night is you are buying your own drinks – thanks Frugal Travel Guy for my Coke (needed caffeine to wake-up!).
5:30PM: Official happy hour
This is when things started to heat up! Imagine a couple hundred travel industry folks in a dimly lit room with an open bar. It's loud, it's crowded, it's fun. I got to meet the newest BoardingArea blogger who writes Point Me to the Plane, catch up with the Wandering Aramean, meet lots of awesome readers of this site (thank you so much for coming to say hi!), talk to some folks who write about the travel industry, and visit lots of old friends I have met at previous Mega Dos. One of the coolest features of the happy hour was a photo booth! They even printed out copies of the photos for you to take with you. Super cool souvenir. The free drinks and appetizers weren't bad, either.
7:00PM: Dinner and Awards!
Around 7PM, it was time to move into the main room and grab a plate of food. They had sliders, pastas, sliced meats, pita breads, spreads, and more that you could pile onto your plate. Truthfully, I filled up during the Happy Hour, so didn't take full advantage of all of the available food during the dinner. Each of the tables also had some bottles of wine on them. Rumor has it that The Points Guy's table started to barter with other tables for more wine about before the ceremony even started! I'm not sure what time the ceremony actually started, but it was some time after 8PM, so there was a full hour of chatting with other BoardingArea bloggers at our table. There was assigned seating, so I think they put all of us trouble makers at the back of the room on purpose. The event was hosted by Robert Wuhl who was really funny and a great host. I love the story of how he became involved with the Freddie Awards – Gary Leff was booking award tickets to Europe in lie-flat seats for him, his wife, and their two dogs. Gary was successful in finding them seats and then asked if he was the same Robert Wuhl who was an actor. It was, he asked him to help host the Freddies, and the rest is history.
If I'm being honest, the awards part of the evening was my least favorite part, as we didn't really get to chat and mingle much during that portion of the evening. However, it was great to hear from Randy Peterson, the winners, and all the other presenters – they did a fantastic job of keeping it interesting. The awards took several hours to be given out, and there were some winners that surprised me a bit. One of those surprises was the "Best Loyalty Credit Card" in the Americas winner, Delta SkyMiles Amex. I can't believe that card beat out the Amex SPG, Sapphire Preferred, and Membership Rewards program. Crazy! The hundreds of thousands of people voting for the Freddies, must not be the same people as the ones on blogs and forums.
I was also a bit surprised at the number of awards that Marriott racked up. In the Americas they won "Best Hotel Program for Redemption", "Best Hotel Program of the Year", "Best Hotel Redemption Ability", "Best Customer Service", and "Best Elite Program". I give best elite program hands down to Hyatt Gold Passport (who came in second), but that's just me…… I certainly have nothing against Marriott (especially since I am staying in the hotel free tonight using a certificate earned in the MegaBonus promotion), but I just don't see them as beating out all the competitors in all those categories (and there were some gasps in they won some of the categories), but they did win, so a big congrats to them!
Last but not least, we need to get some more love for the US Airways Grand Slam promo in the Freddies voting if it comes back this year. It only brought in 7th place for "Best Airline Promotion for Earning" for 2011. I think it certainly deserves to be much higher in the rankings as what other promo allows you to earn 100,000+ miles without even flying?!
11:00PM: After Party
After the ceremony officially concluded, swag bags were handed out, and after party immediately sprung back into action. I, however, immediately retreated to my room to share the stories of the night with you all and rest my voice. I have been sick off and on for what feels like an eternity, and can feel my voice already giving out. Hot tea from room service for me…..fingers crossed I don't have to do my presentation Saturday in sign language (because, well, I only know about three words).
Midnight: Good night!
Well, for me anyway. I'm sure there are many attendees who will keep the party going strong well into the night. Congrats to the winners, this really is a big deal in the travel industry and I know they take this recognition seriously. Tomorrow brings us the Randy Peterson Executive Travel Summit, so more fun to come shortly!

MP, nice meeting you tonight. My picture with you above (I'm wearing a black Brooklyn Reality Tour (BRT) baseball cap came out nice. I loved Randys cowboy hat.
Wow, thanks for the quick update! Can't wait to hear more!
Just goes to show the Freddies are a joke.
Freedies are decided based on which FFP can drive more traffic to the voting site. LH M&M has 22 million members, so if a tiny fraction decides to click on the link on the website or the newsletter mentioning it, you swing the vote. Hence the 'surprise' Marriott and Delta Amex win. That it doesn't totally work this way is shown by Hyatt and SPG, who pushed the link onto their members umpteen times, but still no major joy.
@Dan, very nice meeting you as well. The photo did come out well!
@Glen, no problem.
@HikerT, I think with any awards there are always some "surprises".
@oliver2002, I'm not the Freddies authority, but I do know that it isn't just based on the number of votes. You can have the most votes in a category and not win. You must have a certain minimum percentage of the vote, but after that it is based on how the the "value vote" that isn't just based on sheer numbers. So, if a program pushes all of their members to vote, but those members voice that they don't really like the program, they still don't win. There is no perfect system, but at least this prevents the awards from just going to the largest programs year after year. -
[…] Recent Commentsmommypoints on A Night at the Freddie Awardsoliver2002 on A Night at the Freddie AwardsHikerT on A Night at the Freddie AwardsGlen on A Night at […]
If a ton of people go in and place their favorite as #1, even the value vote is swung as it considers the ranking.
@oliver2002, no doubt if a ton of people go in and place their favorite as #1 that it will help propel that chain into victory, but, I guess to a degree, that is the point. No perfect way to do it, but there are some layers of complexity in this voting system.
The frequent travel award result showed in 2010 & 11 that if 200 000 Marriott fans pile on to the voting dance floor you can weigh the ranking, value vote etc however you like…
It also has to do with the fact that some companies care more about the Freddies than others. For example, I got e-mails from AA about it, I saw banners on my BA account about it, Marriott included it in their phone recordings while you waited for a representative. I clearly remember that. Yet I really don't remember a lot of other companies doing (much) to promote their visibility in the awards/voting.
AA for customer service?!?!? HAAHAHAHa yeah right.
glad hilton and priority club was not chosen cos they are the biggest rip off. But this whole thing about voting is nonsense cos they keep devaluing their program.
Or there should be nomination for the worst ones

Each year, IceStone diverts more than 2 million pounds of glass from landfills into its precast slabs rather than using natural stone, which requires tremendous amounts of fossil fuels to mine and transport. "Up to 75 percent is made of crushed windshield, computer screens, bottle glass and other postindustrial waste," says co-CEO Miranda Magagnini. Manufacturing occurs in a daylit facility at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where production equipment uses soy-based lubricants. There are no petrochemicals in the countertops either, which means they won't emit volatile organic compounds once they're installed. The company also recycles its own waste products into road surfaces. "We don't pretend to be perfect, but we're moving in a greener direction," Magagnini says. "Our goal is zero waste." IceStone's approach fits perfectly with the viewpoint of industrial designer William McDonough, who believes waste can be eliminated through perpetual recycling. IceStone is one of 23 companies to earn the stringent Cradle to Cradle certification developed by McDonough's design firm.

I think I see a trend Are there any websites that detail what all you need to begin kegging similar to Palmer's "how to brew" website?
I have been all-bottle, but am about to jump into kegging.
I bottle but plan on getting some kegs in the next few months. Probably will keg 75%. If it's a regular "house" brew I'll keg it every time. New beers proably bottle a case or two. Trying to decide on three 5gal kegs or one 5gal and two 3gal kegs. Damn, those taps can be pricey. I was thinking of a 3 tap tower, but yikes... Any price diff. for using nitrogen instead of CO2 for kegging? Any disadvantages?
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
I am bottling now but am in the process of assembling a keg fridge. I have all the parts just got to get working on it now that the holidays are over.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt.
Just got my CO2 tank delivered yesterday. Put 30psi in the empty tanks to see if they had any leaks. Woke up this morning and there was still 30 psi in them, so I'm good to go. Tonight I will be kegging my Vanilla Cream Ale. I'll probably still bottle a 12pk of 1/2 liter swing-tops per batch.
Keg. Bottling was a pain.
I've been checking out all of the various homebrew kegging systems online...approximately how many 5 gallon kegs of beer can you carbonate for each 5 gallons of CO2?
Kegging for the last 4 months. Hobby started a year ago. I think I'd be burnt out on this hobby if I was still bottling since I went to AG which added more time to the process. I keg almost all I brew unless it is something that I'm not sure about or know I want in bottles. My Belgium Wit for instance I bottled 2 weeks ago. It was 3 months since I last bottled. What a Pain In The Arse!!
Cheers! DeRoux's Broux

DNA exoneration starts with Innocence Project gatekeeper
Huy Dao plays a reluctant 'god' to hopeful prisoners
New York
The prisoner's name is one that Huy Dao has never forgotten. For years, it would resurface amid the thousands of requests for free legal aid that flood his office – an annual, meticulously typewritten plea for help, a last-ditch effort from a man convicted of rape but convinced of his innocence.
Mr. Dao turned that case down in 1997, but he still can't put it out of his mind. Maybe it was the fact that the man was from Philadelphia, where Dao grew up as the son of Vietnamese refugees, knowing what it's like to have cops look at you askance because of your skin color. Or that it smelled like a faulty conviction, but the evidence that could have provided an indisputable forensic verdict had been destroyed.
"There was something from the letters that he wrote back to me, screaming, basically, 'I have to be innocent, this can't be the end,' " recalls Dao, whose organization uses post-conviction DNA testing to help wrongfully convicted prisoners gain freedom. "It's not fair. But it's my job to evaluate whether DNA can prove innocence, and the answer [in this case] is no."
Such are the difficult decisions that echo in the conscience of the case director of New York's Innocence Project, a 15-year-old nonprofit that recently won its 205th exoneration of an innocent prisoner.
"Many clients write to us as a last resort. If we say no to their cases, they may very well die in prison," says staff attorney Vanessa Potkin, a colleague of Dao's. "Huy has had to live with that burden for so many years. Sometimes they say doctors play God – well, Huy does. You really do have someone's life in your hands."
• • •
Politicized, angered by societal injustice, and fresh out of Cornell University in 1997, Dao figured that if he was going to work for peanuts, he didn't want to be getting someone's coffee. So he took a job delivering freedom.

Interesting to see, thanks.
So my aunt just found this Walt Disney World Resort Food and Beverage POS Guide in her basement and of course she gave it to me knowing how much of a Disney nut I am. I'm not sure why she had it and neither was she, considering she never worked at WDW. She thinks it could belong of the previous owner of the house... Anyway I just thought I'd share with you all because I thought it was pretty cool! The dates on the pages say 2004 and it has a section on Packages and says that Bronze, Silver and Gold Dream Maker Packages will be completely phased out by 12/31/2005. In the back after that section are some paper pages that have info on the Disney Dining Plan, this must have been printed right as the Dining Plan was coming around.
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
Interesting to see, thanks.

That was interesting to see. I am impressed with the way it is assembled. It looks very professional. And why? Because it was Done the Disney Way!

A muted but deep depiction of this artist's state of mind
One of the many tools that can be used to learn the higher positions is the CAGED system. Though the application can be very useful, aspects of it can be simplified and studied in a more musical approach. Doing this might help you have a better understanding of chord voicing and harmony.
This riff-writing exercise will demonstrate how to create diatonic and borrowed chords based on a chromatic bass line while staying in key. For this example, I'm going to use the key of A minor and the harmonic minor scale as my guide for chord construction.
Many students have come to me over years with the same problem; they can play a few songs (and perhaps quite well), but they have no understanding of what they are doing and they feel like they've hit a brick wall. This is a very common plateau I believe many "self-taught" guitarists hit.

Brazilian carrier Azul is scheduled to take delivery of three of the 11 ATR 72-600s scheduled for delivery this year.
Turboprop manufacturer ATR unveiled the -600 variant, featuring advanced avionics supplied by Thales, a higher thrust Pratt & Whitney PW127M engine and improved performance in hot and high conditions, in October 2007. ATR is also offering an updated cabin designed in conjunction with Italian designer Giugiaro.
Overall, ATR expects to deliver roughly 50 aircraft this year.
Azul placed a firm order for 20 ATR 72-600s at the 2010 Farnborough Airshow, and ATR chief executive Filippo Bagnato in an interview with ATI states the carrier is taking three of the type this year. He explains Azul and Air Lease, which ordered 10 aircraft at the show, will both start taking deliveries around the same time after the first ATR 72-600 is delivered to Royal Air Maroc.
Azul recently said it was leasing three older model 72-200s ahead of taking delivery of the -600s.
Bagnato says Air Lease, headed by industry veteran Steven Udvar-Hazy, "is very active, as far as I know they have already placed five of those aircraft in Brazil". ATR's chief says the aircraft will be operated "by one of our customers". Bagnato did not elaborate in the identity of the operator, but ATR's second largest customer is Brazilian regional carrier Trip, who last year stated its growth plans for 2012 and beyond included the -600 model.
The -600 is currently in the middle of flight tests with certifying authorities, says Bagnato, to support aircraft certification between April and May of this year.
ATR expects to deliver 70 aircraft in 2012 with the majority comprising the -600, says the company's chief executive. While ATR continues to offer the -500 variant to customers, Bagnato doesn't envisage many -500 deliveries beyond 2012, but he states the airframer will keep the door open to customers that prefer the -500. He explains it makes no sense for a customer with a 30-strong 72-500 fleet desiring three additional aircraft to switch to the -600 version.
Bagnato stresses certifying the 72-600 is ATR's top priority in 2011, and the airframer has no plans to decide on moving forward with a larger 90-seat turboprop this year.

It's that time of year, comes around once, can't miss it if you are in southern West Virginia. A rafting trip on the New or Gauley River? You bet. If you are lucky enough to be in town through August 21, though, there is another "don't miss," so plan on spending an extra day at the Resort. It's time for the 2010 State Fair of West Virginia.
For most folks that means a trek to Fairlea (about an hour from ACE) to frolic on the midway, eat all of those things your doctor would scold you for and enjoy top-notch entertainment. For me, I move in on Aug. 10 and stay the duration, assisting my fellow Department of Agriculture co-workers with the Annex Building and our all-West Virginia products Country Store.
Unlike many State Fairs', the West Virginia event is a privately held non-profit organization run by a board of directors. The first event to be designated a state fair was held in Wheeling in February, 1881. The city of Lewisburg began a yearly fair event in 1854 which was billed as a local event. In 1941, the West Virginia Legislature designated the Lewisburg event the "official" State Fair. World War II caused a delay and the first designated State Fair was held in 1946.
The fair has managed to remain agricultural and rural in nature, meaning you'll get the ferris wheel, some of the best regional livestock competitions, fried dough as well as locally grown corn on the cob and popular concerts. Family-friendly, the fair is fun for all ages.
The list of events and attractions will fill a book so be sure to visit www.statefairofwv.com to plan a second outing while at ACE. Other ACE folks that you may see include Susie (transportation) and Rose (stables) who will be helping us out. I'll be in the Gus R. Douglass Annex (except for Wednesday night; I am the proud owner of a ticket to the Jason Aldean concert); let us know you came from ACE.
We are easy to find; look for the large candy case filled with chocolates and truffles from Martinsburg's DeFluri's Fine Chocolates — dessert after your trip to the West Virginia Cattlemen's Association Beef Wagon for a steak sandwich!

Grand Openings continue at the Fountains at Farah
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — The Fountains at Farah continue to open new stores on a weekly basis. Barnes & Noble Booksellers will open its newest book and music store on Wednesday, October 16 at the new east side shopping center.
The Fountains location is less than a mile away from the Viscount Village shopping center where the Barnes & Noble relocated from. Best Buy, another Viscount Village tenant also relocated to The Fountains.
The new Barnes & Noble is approximately 27,000 square feet of retail space and is located next to Dick's Sporting Goods on the upper level at the Fountains at Farah. The national book retailer has one other location in the city on the west side.
Rack Room Shoes, a national discount footwear retailer, had a soft opening on October 3, but will celebrate a grand opening on October 19 with promotions and giveaways. The first 100 customers that day will receive unspecified gifts, and a $100 gift card will be raffled away.
The 15,000 square foot store is also located on the upper big-box area. It is the fourth Rack Room Shoes location in El Paso.
Other Fountains stores and restaurants have had soft openings or will open soon. Ulta Beauty is already open, the third El Paso location. Twin Peaks Restaurant will open this week, according to its Facebook page. And TJ Maxx/HomeGoods opened this past weekend.
Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, and Stein Mart became the first stores to open at the center last month.

Hi all:
I'd like to trial pole beans in my Zone 5a garden this year. In the past, I've grown bush beans- but it seems like I can get more output in less space. My garden is mostly containers, with one small raised bed (about 16 sq ft). I've already ordered Gold of Bacau for a wax and Masai (bush variety) for a fine filet bean. I'd like to choose some other types to round out by selections. I'm not even sure whether I prefer "beany" or "sweet". I'm also interested in being able to try some shelling beans to see if I enjoy the taste. Some of the varieties I'm considering are: Garafal Oro (only seed source I can find is SSE Yearbook, and I don't think I will grow enough to relist them) Blue Marbutt (Sandhill)
Any recommendations or other suggestions (and seed sources)? I plan to freeze a lot of the snaps as the Masai don't freeze well, so they'll all need to be eaten fresh. Thanks! |

Don't know if it's the same bean, Seeds from Italy has Garrafal (two r's) Oro listed. Annette |
I saw that one and I'm not sure if they are the same either. In the SSE yearbook, both Garrafal Oro and Garafal Oro are listed, but the former is described as having black seed and the latter as having pink seed. I think I am looking for the pink seeded one. |

Pariyaram Medical College director board chairman M.V. Jayarajan has said that the finding of the Sanjay Gargil commission appointed by the United Democratic Front (UDF) government to submit a report on the admission procedures in the college has given the lie to allegations of irregularities in admitting students.
At a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Jayarajan said the commission not only underlined that the admission process during the tenure of the present director board was transparent as it followed merit and social justice, also made it clear that the irregularities found in admissions were during the period when the medical college was under the previous UDF-controlled director board.
Accusing a section of the media for its attempts to blame the present director board by generalising the admission irregularities that had occurred during the tenure of the previous director board, he said the commission's finding had unravelled the truth.
Every year the college admits 100 students to the MBBS course, 50 per cent seats of which were set apart for students from the government merit list. Of the remaining seats, 35 per cent seats were for the management quota, he said adding that these seats were also being filled with students selected on the basis of merit from the government list. The remaining 15 per cent was for the NRI quota, he said adding that the admission to the NRI seats was on the basis of interview.
He alleged that in 2006-07, the previous director board had set apart a few seats as privilege seats and used it as a privilege to indulge in admission irregularities. A major irregularity found by the commission had occurred during that period. It was also proved that money had also been collected as hospital development fund and huge amount had been levied from NRI students. Presently, the fee collected from the NRI students was no more than what the government had fixed, Mr. Jayarajan said adding that the money collected illegally during the previous director board had been re-arranged as fee for ubsequent years by the present director board.
The previous director board headed by M.V. Raghavan had also been responsible for the admission in 2007-08, he said adding that the case of one student found by the commission to have been admitted in the management seat without permission was reported during this period. In the 2008-09 academic year, two students were admitted in the management quota from the rank list after conducting its entrance examination as the candidates in the government's list were not qualified to get admission. It had been done with government permission, he said.
In 2010-11, two seats in the management quota had been filled after advertising the vacancies on the basis on the merit of the candidates. The two candidates had been admitted as the two seats were lying vacant because of the disparity of the ranks of applicants for the management quota seats, shortage of applicants. In 2012, 50 per cent of PG seats had been given for government admission and as result one PG seat was still lying vacant, he pointed out.
Since there was no criteria for PG admissions, the director board had urged the government to issue the criteria for PG admission in 2012-13, he stated.
He also alleged that the previous director board was responsible for the college's liability of Rs. 400 crore. The college management had to pay Rs. 25 crore by way of income tax arrears accumulated as a result of non-filing of returns by the previous director board, he added.
