Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: Bivouac open exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz
Joyn Office System, 2002 Vitra © Vitra.
A fabulous Bivouac, staged across 1,000 square metres in Galerie 3 of the
Centre Pompidou-Metz
, this exhibition of works by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec sets out the result of almost fifteen years of mutual collaboration.
Their first major solo show in France, Bivouac highlights an exceptional international career, during which the two brothers have worked with some of the greatest names in design, been crowned by numerous awards and the presence of their work in public collections.
Imagined as a temporary encampment - hence its name - Bivouac is deliberately divested of scenographic elements other than the Bouroullecs' work. Movement is imparted by contrasting scales, transparency and superpositions.
Visitors are invited to wander around the gallery, moving between prototypes and finished objects, mass-produced and hand-crafted works.
Bivouac highlights the immense diversity of these creations and economies achieved in production. It also addresses key concepts in the Bouroullecs' research: objects which are nomadic, ephemeral, modular, organic, flexible.
The exhibition is neither an inventory nor a retrospective of their work. Rather, it illustrates the current state of their designs and research, in constant evolution.
This first solo show at the Centre Pompidou-Metz gives pride of place to design as a fundamental and prolific discipline in contemporary creation, and an open field for research at the junction of experimentation and daily life. In keeping with the Centre Pompidou, it emphasises a determination to embrace "art in all its forms" so that visitors might discover a wide spectrum of creation.
Ronan Bouroullec, born 1971 and a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1976 and a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure dArts in Cergy-Pontoise, began working together in 1999.
Their designs are manufactured by such major names as Vitra, Magis, Alessi, Established & Sons, Axor Hansgrohe, Kartell, Kvadrat, Cappellini, Camper and Ligne Roset. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are also involved in more experimental design with Galerie Kreo, and occasionally architectural projects.
Named Designers of the Year at the 2002 Paris Furniture Show and the 2011 Maison & Objet show, their other awards include the City of Paris Grand Prix du Design (1998), the New Designer Award at the New York International Contemporary Furniture Fair (1999) and the Copenhagen Finn Juhl Prize (2008). Their work has been shown in a number of solo shows, including at London's Design Museum (2002), the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, La Piscine, Musée d'Art et d'Industrie in Roubaix (2004), Villa Noailles in Hyères (2008) and Le Grand Hornu, Belgium (2009).
Their work is part of the collections at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou - Musée National d'Art Moderne and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Design Museum, London, and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
For the London Design Festival and in partnership with Kvadrat, their Textile Field installation is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from 15 to 25 September 2011.
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec were also awarded this years commission to design a contemporary addition to the Gabriel staircase at Château de Versailles.
The Work of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Within the space of a few years, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have constructed an edifice that towers over the landscape of international design.
Since their earliest appearances in the late 1990s, their work has brought a new energy to design. At barely twenty years old, they were driven by a determination that few would expect in such young men.
As part of a generation that works under pressure from time, in constant demand for media projects and high-profile events, the Bouroullecs stand out for their long-term view. The consistency of the objects they produce reflects this extended vision. Partitioning, seats and objects occupy the long transparency of the gallery space, dividing, framing, qualifying, giving character. By questioning our everyday habits, the two brothers raise interesting possibilities as to modern lifestyles.
Algues, for example, invites the user to organise their living space how they want, by building their own partitions irrespective of conventional architectural logic. The Bouroullecs create objects for a changing, flexible environment that echoes a peripatetic world. A world where nothing is set in stone. Ronan is captivated by nomadic peoples: "Arriving, leaving, simply, pragmatically. I like the softness of Berber tents, the carpets on the ground These are practical, self-evident, subtly ergonomic solutions, and at the same time they create a backdrop, an atmosphere. They show respect for the environment,leave no trace. It's refined, light, humble."
This freedom is evident in the materials and textiles they choose. Erwan is fascinated by jersey fabrics that adapt to the body's curves without restricting movement. They used this type of ultra-stretch textile to cover Ploum, a sofa whose homogenous form blurs the transition between seat and back. Its comfort comes from a combination of soft memory foam and this highly elastic fabric. The result is a gentle, nest-like form.
Comfort is one of their foremost concerns; in their eyes a responsibility even. Slow Chair is characteristic of this belief. At first glance, this transparent chair suggests none of the comfort of a traditional leather or fabric armchair, Chesterfield or any other well-stuffed seat, and yet As Erwan explains, "It has the bounce of a tennis racquet. The impression is more sports shoe than slipper! It's a slightly different comfort that will inspire an inevitably different and, I hope, modern behaviour." These references to sport in a domestic context reveal a sign of the times that also emerges in the growing popularity of sportswear which, thanks in part to technical fabrics, has brought a new brand of elegance and well-being to urban dress. This mix of genres in this case by introducing a hint of sportswear to the home - is one of the brothers' favourite practices. Their work seeks out variety.
Both brothers are intent on making their contribution to diversity in the world, as this is precisely how the world grows. Hence they devote much of their energy to drawing out an object's singular nature, which they might call "fantasy," "surprise," or "astonishment." This form of difference is important, insists Ronan: "It's like meeting some amazing person." This singularity never occurs by chance; it is never a random attribution. It slowly hatches, emerging from a precise definition of the object and a careful balancing of its constituent parts. Through intense concentration, the two designers pinpoint this singularity which they then take to maturity. Their studio is a laboratory. They and their assistants shape, cut, glue, sew, draw, calculate. They make, undo, make again, putting what they have made to the test to take it further still. Adjusting, improving, perfecting. Every detail is the object of infinite attention. Potentially a process without end .

Both a numerical and an analytical models were developed to simulate temperature profiles in continuous laminar pipe flow during microwave heating. Fully developed velocity and thermally developing conditions were assumed. The numerical solution was obtained by first solving Maxwell equations and then by coupling them with the energy balance for the flowing fluid. On the other hand, the same problem was solved analytically under the simplifying assumption foreseeing uniform heat generation inside the pipe. With the aim of reducing computational efforts, numerical and analytical results were compared in order to investigate conditions for which the two models allowed to recover the same temperature patterns. Thus, it has been shown that suitable conditions can be found for which the simplified analytical model can lead to an easy way to predict the heat transfer through the pipe.

"New England Patriots' tight end Rob Gronkowski underwent a microscopic lumbar discectomy surgery performed by Dr. Robert Watkins at Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles," the statement said. "The surgery went well. The timing of his return to football will depend on his progression through the rehabilitation program."
The lumbar discectomy was performed by Dr. Robert Watkins to address a lingering issue with a herniated disc in Gronkowski's back. According to reports the disc operated on this time was different from the one the Watkins repaired in 2009, which cost the All-Pro tight end his senior season at the University of Arizona.
Reports estimate the time of Gronkowski's recovery to be in the 10-12 week range, which would put the start of the 2013 season in jeopardy. If the rehab takes the entire 12 weeks, Gronkowski would miss the opener against the Bills Sept. 8 at minimum. There's also a chance the team could place him on the physically unable to perform list, which would require to sit out at least the first six weeks of the season before returning to practice.
But all indications at this point are that the surgery went well and there's reason for optimism that Gronkowski's nightmarish offseason may be coming to an end.
UPDATE: NFL.com is citing a source that indicates Gronkowski will open training camp on PUP.

Headline On CNN.com
Here is a little blurb on the front page of cnn.com, titled: Til Death Do Us Part:
Just months ago, 18-year-old Ayat Al-Qassab danced with her family as she celebrated her marriage. Now, her shattered and bloodied body lies in a grave below the crumbling buildings of Homs. As her parents bury their third child, they celebrate and thank God for her martyrdom.
Hmm, the problem with Islam is that parents are thanking god for the "martyrdom" of their daughter. That is really and truly not a good thing, guys. It is nearly as bad that the journalists don't understand this.

UPDATED: Friday, September 14, 2012 - 2:35pm
According to CNN, Tunisian protesters have breached the U.S. Embassy in Tunis.
They have lowered the American flag from its pole and are raising the black flag of the protestors in its place.
This information was provided to CNN by an eyewitness.
Hundreds of protesters headed to the neighborhood that's home to U.S. Embassy in Tunisia's capital earlier on Friday, the eyewitness told CNN.
Police were forced to bulk up their presence with roadblocks leading to the embassy in Tunis. Hard-line Muslims known as Salafists were among the demonstrators, who were in pickup trucks and on foot.
Tunisian police were firing tear gas on hundreds of protesters scattered around the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, an eyewitness said, but protesters were able to reach the gates. Some protesters were climbing the gates and waving black flags, the witness said.
This story is developing.
KETK will be sure to update the information about the protests throughout the day.

DAVID FRANCIS SMITH, 56, of Bellevue, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to four months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and two years of probation for a misdemeanor of failing to file his federal income tax return for the calendar year 1999 in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7203. SMITH, who worked as a real estate agent for REMax Eastside Brokers, Inc, specializing in land development transactions admitted as part of the plea proceedings that he had failed to file his income tax returns for the calendar years 1998 through 2001. During these years he had earned the following real estate commissions:
1998 – $97,974.00
1999 – $155,855.00
2000 – $112,460.00
2001 – $123,454.95
For the calendar year 1999, a person was required to file an income tax return if he has received more than $7,050.00 in gross income for the calendar year. SMITH admitted that he was aware of his legal obligation to file his tax returns and that he willfully elected not to do so.
For the four years in question, SMITH failed to pay federal income taxes and self-employment taxes totaling in excess of $61,000. The tax due and owing from 1999, the tax year in question in the plea proceeding, was approximately $19,800. After the criminal investigation commenced, SMITH made payments to the Internal Revenue Service for the full amount of the taxes due and owing for the four calendar years in question.
SMITH told the court he had "learned a very painful and expensive lesson." He said he had no excuse for the poor choices he had made.
In sentencing SMITH, Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik told him, "Our community is a forgiving community, people make mistakes. Get out there and restore your life and give something back to the community."
The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CID) and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert Westinghouse.

EOF - Waving Goodbye to Facebook
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
The problem is we still are 'stuck' with HTML etc... to provide a cross-platform link from user to user.
Facebook is a 2.0 portal that is not aligned with a provider or ISP (or MS) and in the end it is just a building with servers and bandwith.
How can you deliver a web page that does not intrude or impair the message?
E-mail was/is a 'killer-app' because there is a shared standard with server and client across platforms with minimal user intrusion.
FAIL......How about.......
The title be called "Waving Goodbye to Wave". You should honestly do some research prior to embarking on an article like this.
Can't we do anything about the spam?
Surely there's ways of filtering out spam. If email can do it, surely forums can.
That which does not kill me only postpones the inevitable.
what about retroshare
go retroshare.
Not totally dead (yet :)
Google's plan for Wave: "Wave in a Box"
I'm surprised no has
I'm surprised no has mentioned gnu social
as a possible alternative:
GNU social, true to the Unix-philosophy of small programs to do a small job, will be a decentralized social network that you can install on your own server
Sounds just like what the article is describing.
What about diaspora?
To me diaspora sounds like something going into the right direction. What we need are standard protocols for social networking on the net. Webservices, or something similar, then tie the different 'human repositories' together, where every human can control all information itself. whether that information is histed at myspace, facebook, diaspora, hyves, or any other local alternative, like my home server... We chioose our social 'dashboard' provider independently. That social dashboard could be enriched, or polluted, take your pick, by commercial information targeted at the user of the dashboard. So that's where to money is. Of course I could also implement and host my own dashboard at home. Or just have a plain old desktop application as dashboard.
So the ultimate answer to facebook is open social networking standards, to be implemented by anyone. use an uddi like discovery method and we're in business. The thing is, who will sponsor such an effort?
I will join, as I won't join facebook,
This is a much more dangerous
This is a much more dangerous move then you are giving credit for. Especially when you consider Comcast and Verizon play penning such a creation and charging to reach areas of the web outside the monster.
Its not a dooms day scenario but it is the first logical steps to locking down the net. You would have to shape off a chunk of the internet to pacify normal people. They of course they would only want the people who spend money.(Thank God the people who keep it running are not the ones who spend money)
On a similar note please help wikipedia keep its lights on being able to access the worlds knowledge is a neat thing.But thats the whole crazy problem how can we make people who cant follow a crazy ranting post like this understand how important it is that the current impression of the internet needs to be drastically reformed.
PS. The human race needs to evolve a fair bit more before we can use Google wave. It makes my head explode. Its like creating YouTube before the words broad band ment anything.
foss social network
we use noosfero here - http://noosfero.org/
a nice mashup always updating framework, wich we created our own social networks with no strings (mostly) attached.
Waving goodbye to facebook - Wave as a replacement?
I agree with your comments on Facebook, but I'm having difficulty seeing Google Wave as a replacement. Wave looks like it has a lot of potential for collaboration on a project, but I don't see being able to use it for social networking. My social networking doesn't consist of project collaboration.
I recently started using Dropbox, just the free account to try it out. Seemed pretty good (for limited purposes), so I clicked on their link to share it on Facebook. Facebook informed me that Dropbox wanted permission to: Access my basic information; Post to my Wall; Access my data any time; Access my photos & videos.
I had no problem with the first 2. I thought the rest was a little much.
I don't know how much Dropbox has to do with exactly what is being asked for. It was my impression that that is just the way Facebook sets things up.
Other Social Network systems
Hasn't Google Wave died?
That which does not kill me only postpones the inevitable.
Wave is DEAD - pay attention Doc!
@Doc - you've been hiding under a rock, my friend. Google pulled the plug on wave http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-on-google-wave.html
Wave was a good try, but it wasn't even close to being anything like facebook is today. Yes facebook has had privacy issues, but so will all these other social sites that need money to run and have a 20 year old trying to figure out the business plan.
Diaspora is promising, but way behind. We need an innovative facebook/diaspora/twitter/identica/foursquare/gowalla/posterous mashup - not a copycat.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

More reviews by MarcosAntonioG
Update: Like I said in my last review it did fade my hyperpigmentation slightly but it also made my skin around the marks white, I am medium tan so it was vary noticable. and I found out this fade creame is only for like brown marks not hyperpigmentation. so be cautious about that and if you have dark skin like me. Overal good beacuse it works but bad side affects
I have fairly good skin but i just wanted my skin tone to be even, so I decided to use palmer skin success even tone fade creme. The first day I used this product nothing happen but the next time it broke my face out completely. I recommend not to use this product because it doesn't work and makes your face break out all over.
More reviews by lovinmy2tasiashawn
I have used this product. it has work in my skin. i had dark spots on my face from bumps.. i used it twice a day and in the end my face was clear. it did make your face a lil greasy. but it was worth it
DO NOT USE. Contains 2% hydroquinone, which has been linked to causing leukemia in the test animals and has also been prohibited in France.
I'm throwing all of my Skin Success line away.
I have used the one for regular skin and it never did a thing for any dark spots. Maybe I did not use it as long as I should (used it for a few months). Gave up on it.
Wished it had done something. Great price.
Although what I have been using cost quite a bit more, it last forever.
Seraphim Peel & Bleach. I have to take a lot of care when using this.
Do not get on hairlines, brows, etc. Also, when initally using you will peel and peel and peel. Will try it on my arms next.
So I have very oily skin and have tried just about everything out there. I bought this at drugstore.com and the price was very reasonable. Prior to my using this I tried using Paula's Choice BHA and AHA and got medicore results but nothing really helped 1) fade my scars caused by older acne and 2) stopped new acne from forming. I have been using this for 1 month and am amazed at the results. The package says to apply twice daily but you probably shouldn't just because it's thick and I don't really see anyone putting this on underneath makeup so I would recommend using it at night. Just a little bit goes a long way. I apply this once a night and over the past month two things have happened. 1) HUGE HUGE HUGE reduction in my acne and 2) my previous acne scars are fading. It does take some time, according to the package directions, for scars to totally fade but I am just amazed at the results thus far.
I have very oily skin and have had such a hard time containing the acne. This product is #1 in my book and I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to reduce or eliminate their acne. This stuff is MUCH better than ProActiv and Paula's Choice... both of which I Have tried and are much more $$ compared to Palmer's.
***Edited on 6/2008*** I have to say that I switched my would I buy this product again from Yes to No and from five lippies to two because after using it for a few months it really started making me break out horribly. It seemed to work on fading my older scars from acne BUT I am not willing to sacrifice my skin for new acne to show up after using this so I have stopped using this product.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Started using this about a month ago, during the first week, it worked really well but after it made my skin really oily..as a result i've broken out when i normally don't.
I have been using this for about two months. Before using this product, I tried Peter Thomas Roth, PCA skin care, etc. I got this on Drugstore.com for about $5 and am pretty pleased with the results. I have dark skin so I try to be cautious about using this type of product. I only use it at night but after two months, my skin is much clearer and even toned.
I use PSF skin care products and for the first time, in a long time, my skin looks and feels great.

"My husband and I wanted to send out thank you postcards for our wedding thank you's. All I wanted was a picture of us on the front of the postcard (it was a picture from our wedding day of both of us holding a banner that said "Thank You." This Uniquely Yours option allowed me to do just that! They turned our exactly how I wanted them to, and sending out postcards as thank you's really saves on postage costs. I would definitely recommend this product and this website as a whole (I've ordered three different products from this website for our wedding and could not be happier with them)!"
"I wanted to use my own design, so I used the professional print service. I was concerned about what the end result would be, since I used a Pantone metallic gold in my design and I wasn't sure that it would look right. My worries turned out to be for nothing. Even on the thick, matte paper the gold looks metallic and I ended up with precisely what I had in mind. We just sent the invitations out last week & have gotten several compliments on them. I am so happy with my decision to use this service."
"Amazing quality of printing services and most importantly, the designer was patient with my 5+ changes to my proofs. They were extremely courteous and listened to all my requests. My only complaint is that the postcard is slightly smaller than I expected - smaller than a normal postcard. Also, I cut my photo exactly to the specs they listed for the card and it never fit! Something is not right on the dimensions. But, I can't complain about the service and overall quality, plus the customization with multiple fonts/colors was excellent. I will definitely be using WPD for my printing needs to all things wedding!"

Topic Contents
Topic Overview
What are colds?
Everyone gets a cold from time to time. Children get more colds than adults.
Colds usually last 1 to 2 weeks. You can catch a cold at any time of year, but they are more common in late winter and early spring.
There is no cure for a cold. Antibiotics will not cure a cold. If you catch a cold, treat the symptoms.
What are the symptoms?
Lots of different viruses cause colds, but the symptoms are usually the same:
- Runny nose and sneezing
- Red eyes
- Sore throat and cough
- Headaches and body aches
You will probably feel a cold come on over the course of a couple of days. As the cold gets worse, your nose may get stuffy with thicker mucus.
A cold is not the same as the flu. Flu symptoms are worse and come on faster. If you have the flu, you may feel very tired. You may also have a fever and shaking chills, lots of aches and pains, a headache, and a cough.
If you feel like you have a cold all the time, or if cold symptoms last more than 2 weeks, you may have allergies or sinusitis. Call your doctor.
What can you do for a cold?
Good home treatment of a cold can help you feel better. When you get a cold:
- Get extra rest. Slow down just a little from your usual routine. You don't need to stay home in bed, but try not to expose others to your cold.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Hot water, herbal tea, or chicken soup will help relieve a stuffy nose and head.
- Take aspirin, ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), or acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) to relieve aches. Follow the package instructions carefully. If you give medicine to your child, follow what your doctor has told you about the amount to give. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20. It has been linked to Reye syndrome, a serious illness.
- Use a humidifier in your bedroom and take hot showers to relieve a stuffy nose and head.
- If you feel mucus in the back of your throat (postnasal drip), gargle with warm water. This will help make your throat feel better.
- Use paper tissues, not handkerchiefs. This will help keep your cold from spreading.
- If your nose does get red and raw, put a dab of petroleum jelly on the sore area.
Don't take cold medicine that uses several drugs to treat different symptoms. For example, don't take medicine that contains both a decongestant for a stuffy nose and a cough medicine. Treat each symptom on its own.
A nasal decongestant spray can help your stuffy nose, but make sure you don't use it for more than 3 days in a row. You could get a "rebound" effect, which makes the mucous membranes in your nose swell up even more.
Do not give cough and cold medicines to a child younger than 2 unless you've checked with the doctor first. If your child's doctor tells you to give a medicine, be sure to follow what he or she tells you to do. Using saline drops or a humidifier may help thick or dried mucus to drain. To remove mucus from your baby's nose, use a suction bulb to gently suction the mucus out. This is a safer way to treat your baby's stuffy nose.
When should you call a doctor?
Call your doctor if:
- You have trouble breathing.
- You have a fever of 104°F (40°C) or higher.
- You have a fever of 101°F (38.3°C) or higher that has not come down after 12 hours of home treatment. Or you have a fever of 100°F (37.8°C) to 101°F (38.3°C) that has not come down after 3 days of home treatment.
- You have new symptoms that are not part of a cold, like a stiff neck or shortness of breath.
- You cough up yellow, green, or bloody mucus.
- Mucus from your nose is thick like pus or is bloody.
- You have pain in your face, eyes, or teeth that does not get better with home treatment, or you have a red area on your face or around your eyes.
- Your cold seemed to be getting better after a few days but is now getting worse with new symptoms.
How can you prevent colds?
There are several things you can do to help prevent colds:
- Wash your hands often.
- Be extra careful in winter and when you are around people with colds.
- Keep your hands away from your face. Your nose, eyes, and mouth are the most likely places for germs to enter your body.
- Eat well, and get plenty of sleep and exercise. This keeps your body strong so it can fight colds.
- Do not smoke. Smoking makes it easier to get a cold and harder to get rid of one.

CACO3-242, alkalinity total-243,calcium-43.2, chloride-6.98, carbonate-216, iron-.007, magnesium-26.2, ph-7.61,potassium-.74, sodium-2.34, sulfate-6.1, TDS-216, zinc-.002. All units are in mg/l. Your expertise and input would much be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Not sure what 'CACO3' nor 'carbonate' means as clearly the water contains neither calcium carbonate nor much carbonate. Trusting the alkalinity number and the pH the carbonate ion content would be about 0.65 mg/L. The report is imbalanced by 0.8 mEq/L which is quite a bit so none of the numbers can be considered very accurate. They are probably averages. Nevertheless it is doubtless true that as the numbers suggest you have a hard, alkaline water with little permanent hardness. This makes it a candidate for decarbonation by lime treatment or simple heating/aeration preceded by calcium supplementation which is not only necessary to restore the calcium level to a healthy one but aids the decarbonation process. The problem with doing this is that it is messy, requires heat, lengthens the brew day (or you do it the day before - still means more work) and you really need to take before and after alkalinity measurements to see how you did at least until you have done it enough to know how well you are doing. It would doubtless be easier and certainly more sure to replace your water with RO water or dilute your water with RO water to the point where the alkalinity is down to less than 30 which will take so much RO water you might as well use straight RO. See the Primer for starting guidelines.
That Magnesium is a bit high too, might make it a tad bitter, no? Personally, I'd just use store bought distilled water. Add some gypsum or calcium chloride as needed.
I was going to brew a three gallon test batch that consist of 7.25 lbs of two row, .75 of medium crystal, .6 chocolate, and .4 black malts. 1oz of fruggles hop. I may need to reevaluate after reading your responses. Your thoughts.
You will have to defeat that alkalinity one way or another. Either you must remove it by boiling or lime treatment or you must neutralize it with acid, be that from a bottle or dark malt, or you must dilute it away. If you try to do it all with dark malt you will have, at this level of alkalinity, a very one dimensional beer and possibly one that is not very drinkable. The easiest way out is dilution with RO water. Try the Primer for some hints as to how to proceed.
Like one guy said if you like the way your water tastes then go with it.
Given current knowledge and technology many of us are making beer a lot better than that guy's.
The water quality report was recorded in ranges and the highest was posted. I'm researching the primer. Thank you for your insight.
But those of us that followed that guy's philosophy and eventually saw the light are sure.

The blonde 22 year-old talks in extraordinary detail about her two-hour sexcapade with Ashton, in two new interviews including the fact that he tried to make it a threesome.
When Sara Leal got intimate in his Hard Rock Hotel suite in San Diego on Sept. 23rd, Ashton Kutcher initially wanted to have a threesome, Leal alleges. The other girl involved was her best friend, Marta Borzuchowski, Leal told Great Britain's The Sun newspaper.
"I went in Ashton's room and put my robe on and got one for my friend. She sat down on the bed with both of us," she recounts. "Ashton and I started kissing and then he kissed my friend. He was rubbing my leg and he asked my friend, "would you be comfortable rubbing Sara's leg?," she says.
As it turned out, Sara's friend Marta became uncomfortable and left, but that's when Ashton and Sara began kissing again and he took Sara's robe off and the pair had sex.
Sara's claims that Ashton was a "good" lover but that he didn't wear a condom, which "caught me off guard!"
The pair had sex a second time before parting.
Sara claims she never would have had a one night stand with Ashton if she had known he was still married.
She claims that when she was in the hot tub in his suite while they were partying together earlier, one of the other girls there had asked him if he was married and he replied, "I'm separated."
"If I had known from the beginning that he was married, none of this would have happened," she now says.
Hmm! Do you believe her? She says she's heard nothing from Ashton or his team since their night together.
Another, hmmm!

Sorry girl but you are just as much guilty. Whether all of it is true or not, the thing that stands out most is obviously Ashton is a cheater and Sara is a slut. Yes, he shouldn't have been at a party where whores were running around naked and secondly she shouldn't have been going over to his room in nothing but a robe. She knew there could have been a chance he was "STILL" married because being separated does NOT mean you are divorced. So she asked for it willingly going to a party like that and walking into his room waiting for sex.
Posted at 7:00 PM on November 2, 2011
get a grip people. there aren't many people that would turn down a hot rich celebrity that wanted to f' them. it's gross, but it's true. don't judge her, and have a little more honesty with yourself about what you'd have done. as for sara- same goes to you. you f'ed him knowing he was married to demi. don't pretend that the "separation" was a key fact here. also, you chose to have unprotected sex with a man who clearly gets around and can sleep with about anyone he wants. i'm told aids can take up to 3 years to detect. you need to rethink your decisions, and stop lying about what you would've done if you knew this that or the other thing.

My favorite part was "If I had known from the beginning that he was married, none of this would have happened," she now says.".LMAO…..Hes Ashton married to Demi….She didnt know?? She has taken it (Probably with pay) to every media she could find…She has no talent so,shes having her 15 minutes of fame ..Bet her family is soooooo proud.lol
Posted at 3:37 PM on October 12, 2011
She was "caught off guard" when he didn't where a condom….Hmmmm??? Why didn't she make him where one?? This lil girl needs to go back to whatever she was doing before all of this. There are always 3 sides to a story.. HIS, HER's and the TRUTH. I think Demi would like the truth and have it out of the public. This should be something between them to figure out. Skanky Sara needs to shut her mouth, close her legs and grow up!!
Like I say… You CAN'T make a hoe into a housewife. She is jumpoff material with a face that demands the lights to be turned off, not worth the 5,10,15 mins of fame. I bet she'll be in a porn and/or Playboy next… any takers?? lol Its funny how these chics try to become famous for opening their legs and mouth… literally!!

The group behind the M-1 high-speed rail project is expected to update Detroit City Council on progress with the train today at City Hall. The M-1 project down Woodward Ave. has been plagued with various road blocks and financial issues over the past few years, delaying construction. Now organizers say the project is mere months away from groundbreaking.
The Detroit Free Press asks "What's taking the M-1 Rail so long?" in an article by John Gallagher. He writes: "But another obstacle seemed to crop up last week when a letter surfaced from Michigan's congressional leaders requesting a $12.2-million federal grant for the project to plug a funding gap the lawmakers said could delay the project indefinitely. That news contradicted what M-1 leaders had said publicly — that the shortfall was only $4 million and no big deal."
Matthew Cullen, President and CEO of M-1 Rail released this statement: "News reports published [June 18] suggested our project is in jeopardy. It is not. The construction of the M-1 RAIL streetcar will proceed as planned and commence upon City Council approval of our operating agreement..."

Liberalism's Biggest Lie: If You Like Your Morality, You Can Keep Your Morality
Carson Holloway, Public Discourse
The unchecked progress of sexual liberalism means that we cannot say what kind of moral culture our children will inhabit as adults or, accordingly, what kind of moral culture will form our grandchildren. No responsible person can support such a movement.

FIVE SEATTLE AREA WOMEN INDICTED FOR BANK FRAUD IN"OPERATION HONOR ROLL" - Defendants Accused of Identity Theft to Apply for More than $2 Million in Student Loans
Five women, three from one family, were arrested this morning after being indicted for Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft. The women used other people's Social Security numbers and identification information to apply for $2,234,000 in student loans. The banks were defrauded of approximately $690,000. All five women will appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle today at 2:30.
The indictment unsealed today details how KATHY L. HARDY, 59, of Renton, Washington, and her two daughters, LESLIE Y. GORDON, 35, and THERESA R. HARDY, 20, both also of Renton, and two of GORDON's associates, KATHERINE FAIR, 36, of Seattle, and KIMBERLY R. JONES, 36, of Seattle, conspired to defraud four different financial institutions. The scheme began in April 2005, and over the next three years various members of the conspiracy allegedly submitted a dozen different student loan applications using other people's names, and/or Social Security numbers as the borrower or the cosigner. The conspirators defaulted on the loans, taking the cash but never making a payment.
The loans were taken out from private student loan companies, but were funded by banks. For example, according to the indictment, on December 31, 2005, KATHY HARDY and LESLIE GORDON submitted false student loan paperwork to Astrive Student Loans. The $30,000 loan was funded by RBS Citizens N.A., a U.S. financial institution as defined by law. Other loans were taken out through the course of the conspiracy through Sallie Mae, and were funded by Sallie May Bank; through My Rich Uncle Student Loans which were funded by Doral Bank FSB; and through Educated Borrow which were funded by Richland State Bank.
In addition to the Bank Fraud charges, the defendants are each charged with at least one count of Aggravated Identity Theft for the use of someone else's personal identifying information in relation to the Bank Fraud. LESLIE Y. GORDON and KIMBERLY R. JONES are each charged with four counts of Aggravated Identity Theft. If convicted each count of Aggravated Identity Theft carries a mandatory two year prison term to run consecutive to any sentence imposed on the Bank Fraud count. Bank Fraud is punishable by up to 30 years in prison and a one million dollar fine.
The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The case was investigated by Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General (SSA-OIG), the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Seattle Police Department and the King County Sheriff's Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Norman Barbosa as part of the U.S. Attorney's Office Working Group on Identity Theft.

I had acrylics done at salons for a long time. I found it so expensive for the designs I wanted that I would put off going for a fill, then the lifting and discolouration would be disgusting. I started doing them at home. It was hard, especially trying to do your dominant hand. I started watching videos online and they really helped.
The initial start up costs seem pricey at first for proper tools, but in actuality, it's very inexpensive in comparison to salons. Forget at home kits; buy proper supplies. I recommend a smile line cutter tool or a q cutter.
Just apply the acrylic and allow it to harden a bit, then use the tool to cut the smile line so there's no messing around with wet acrylic and a brush one handed. Product consistency is very important, so practice making acrylic balls before trying on your nail. Use a gel overlay for crazy shine. I can redo them every week if I want. The best part is that I choose how much nail I file off.

Miami Police Officers Caught on YouTube Violently Beating Halloween Revelers in Coconut Grove
via YouTube |
Warning: There's graphic violence and some obscene language.
The video opens with several City of Miami police officers trying to handcuff a downed man while surrounded by a loud crowd. It's not known why the man was brought down in the first place, but someone in the chant was already yelling something about Rodney King so it's possible there was previous violence not caught on tape. Other people are yelling that the man did nothing wrong.
At one point a woman in little more than a pink tutu and bra enters the fray. Next we see her, she is on the asphalt being handcuffed while police grab at her legs to subdue her, and is latter seen being manhandled around by police.
Later another man is pulled from the crowd and thrown violently down by police officers. One officer holds the man back while another violently and repeatedly punches him in the face.
Later, a heavyset and bald police officer seemingly at random pulls a man from the crowd wearing a 300-style gladiator costume and forcibly throws him down on the road.
Other police officers are seen shoving random members of the assembled crowd.
"What you see makes you wonder if the police officer went beyond the call of duty," City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado told CBS4.
Regalado has called for a full investigation into what happened before the camera started rolling, while a police spokesman tells the station that, "Internal affairs is looking into it to find out what happened on that scene and why."

I see animals behind people's heads. Not always, only when I concentrate and ask to see their totem. I have seen Mother Spider, insects, birds, etc. Energies/entities many times, in healing work, morph into an animal - sometimes to scare me away or sometimes to impart information about the client that I should know.
Insects play a large part. Sometimes they appear in the body running in circles around a certain area, thus revealing a particular spot that needs medical attention or in one instance, a hole in a person's heart. No trance is needed, and no exacting ritual, but prayers for my own protection and for the other person are, to me, essential.
From my own experience, I feel that a Shaman is a person who works directly with animals and nature which impart information to better help in a healing or enlightenment. --Sara

Ford Mustang Rear Axle
The Mustang rear axle area consists of many different parts that each perform a specific function to help drive your Mustang and support the Mustang rear end. One of the most important Mustang rear axle parts is the Mustang rear axle itself. The Mustang axle consists of two shafts that connect in the center at the differential. The Mustang rear axle shafts each have wheel studs and mounts for brakes and other Mustang suspension hardware.Another vital part of your Mustang rear axle is the Mustang differential. This part, which is actually made up of many different Mustang rear end components, links the Mustang rear axles and the driveshaft. It contains a set of gears, which are turned by the driveshaft, which turns the Mustang rear axles, which turns the wheels. The differential also has additional Mustang rear end components to compensate for when your Mustang is turning, which requires the rear wheels need to turn at different speeds, or when it is raining and one of your rear wheels lose grip on the road. Since the differential has gears and several other fragile parts, plus lubricants, it needs to be protected. Therefore, the differential on every Mustang rear axle features a heavy-duty cover that protects it and keeps all of the lubrication inside.
If your Mustang rear axle needs some work, CJ Pony Parts stocks all of the Mustang rear end parts you need, including each of the Mustang rear end components mentioned above. CJ Pony Parts also offers Mustang rear axle parts for independent rear suspension Mustangs, which only applies to SN95 Mustang Cobras and are different in a few areas when compared to the Mustang rear axle on most cars. Order your new Mustang Rear Axle parts today from CJ Pony Parts and keep that vital area of your Mustang working smoothly!

HOMOSEXUALS-LOSSERVATORE Nov-29-2005 (850 words) With photo. xxxi
Vatican newspaper says homosexual men not suitable for priesthood
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Even if they have never had a gay sexual experience and are fully committed to celibacy, homosexual men are not suitable candidates for the priesthood, said a long article in the Vatican newspaper.
Titled "Reflections on the Document," the article was published Nov. 29 with the text of the Congregation for Catholic Education's new instruction on accepting homosexuals as candidates for the priesthood.
The article -- the only explanatory text the Vatican published with the document -- was written by French Msgr. Tony Anatrella, a psychoanalyst and consultant to the Pontifical Council for the Family.
"Candidates who have 'deep-seated homosexual tendencies,' that is, an exclusive attraction to persons of the same sex -- independently of whether or not they have had erotic experiences -- cannot be admitted to the seminary or to holy orders," he wrote in the newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
Msgr. Anatrella said the Vatican felt it "necessary to recall once again that homosexuality always has been one of the difficulties that impedes access to holy orders."
In cultures where homosexuality increasingly is seen as a "normal quality" rather than as "a problem in the psychic organization" of a person's sexuality, he said, the church's teaching needed to be reaffirmed.
Homosexuals have a place in the church just like any other baptized person, Msgr. Anatrella said. They are to be welcomed, supported and helped "to live in fidelity to their baptism and to assume all the moral consequences of the Christian life, but they cannot be called to holy orders."
"Unfortunately, for many years in some countries a permissive attitude has allowed people to think that candidates (for the priesthood) who have this tendency could be ordained as long as they assumed perfect continence," or remained celibate, he said.
Problems and scandals have proven that a permissive attitude "lacked lucidity and wisdom," the monsignor said.
While "sexual transgressions" are a particular concern, he said, there are "collateral effects inherent" in accepting gay men into the seminary and ordaining them to the priesthood because of "typical behaviors and expressions on the part of these personalities."
He said they tend to have few friends, to close themselves off from others in "a clan of persons of the same type," to resent the claims on their time made by parishioners, to encourage other gay men to enter the priesthood and to deal with authority predominantly as a matter of "seduction and rejection."
At the same time, he said, the church affirms the validity of the ordination of its priests, including those who may have homosexual tendencies.
While such priests may need special support, he said, the Catholic Church is committed to ensuring that they are not attacked and do not become the objects of gossip.
"One vigorously must oppose denunciations and all forms of suspicion and innuendo which could attack the personal dignity of ordained ministers," he said.
Nevertheless, Msgr. Anatrella wrote, "One must free oneself from the idea that leads one to believe that, insofar as a homosexual person respects his commitment to continence lived in chastity, there will not be problems and he can therefore be ordained a priest."
A "commitment in holy orders presupposes that the candidate has attained a sufficient affective and sexual maturity coherent with his masculine sexual identity," the article said.
"He must, in principle, be suitable for marriage and able to exercise fatherhood over his children. And it is under those mature conditions that he renounces exercising them in order to give himself to God in the priesthood," the monsignor wrote.
Msgr. Anatrella repeatedly affirmed the need for a priest to be heterosexual in order to see himself and for others to see him as the "bridegroom of the church" and as a "spiritual father" to those to whom he is ministering.
"A homosexual person would have difficulty incarnating this symbolic reality of the spousal bond and spiritual paternity," he said.
Because the priest acts in the "person of Christ," Msgr. Anatrella said, the church calls only "men mature in their masculine identity" to the diaconate and priesthood.
"The church has the right to refuse holy orders to those who do not have the requested attitudes or who, in one way or another, are not in harmony with the teaching it has received from its divine master," he wrote.
"The church has the right to recall once again that the homosexual tendency is a counterindication to the call to holy orders," he said.
Msgr. Anatrella provided a long list of warning signs that should alert seminary rectors and staff members to the possibility that a seminarian is homosexual.
Among worrying signs, he listed: students who had trouble relating to their fathers; are uncomfortable with their own identity; tend to isolate themselves; have difficulty in discussing sexual questions; view pornography on the Internet; demonstrate a deep sense of guilt; or often see themselves as victims.
A man with homosexual tendencies, he said, "should not be accepted for formation or, if he was accepted before being aware of his situation, his formation must be interrupted."
