This Week in Beer News: Tequila Cider, Beer Saves Man and J. Wakefield Brewing Coming to Wynwood
Hey, are you done with that coffee yet? Have a beer. Have a coffee beer. Then have another, and another. It's good for your health. Just remember that three beer rule. CC Flickr/fengergold Free beer? How about some free beer news?
Some people may be surprised at the sudden increase in beer literature in the last few years, and that's OK. When something because popular, crazy shit happens and it's real, it's all real. Grab a beer, leave sobriety behind you and enter the fray of This Week in Beer News.

Terrapin Violates Brewery Tour RulesCC Flickr/MrMedia Bad brewery, bad, bad, brewery.
Terrapin Beer Company in Athens, GA was cited twice by the Georgia Department of Revenue for violating brewery tour rules as put forth by the state. According to the citations, the brewery was accused of giving beer samples away without a tour and for not informing patrons that they do not have to purchase a glass to participate in tours or tastings. But the brewery attorney said the agent misread the sign at the entrance and thought a wristband and a glass was required.
Beer Saves Man From DeathCC Flick/jasonparis
Not only does beer appear to be good for your health, it can also save your life. A couple of guys from Kent, England chugged several beers and stripped off their clothes and jumped into the chilly waters of the Herne Bay (nice going guys). Both men were rescued, not before one lost consciousness and started drifting away with the tide. The coastguard said the beer might have prevented him from feeling the cold and saved his life.
Church Members Attract New Members With BeerCC Flickr/TRF_Mr_Hyde Jesus, it's time for a beer.
Churches across the country with declining congregations are starting to use craft beer to attract new members. Not a bad way to go. Instead of church, call it a bar. Tell all of your sins to the man behind the counter and don't forget the tip jar, er, donation basket. This is kind of like an Abbey brewery, except all inclusive.

Two issues need to be addressed with regards to software patents. First are the requirements to get a process patented. The second is the length of time that the patent is valid.
Patents have two requirements that are relevant to this discussion, they must be both non-obvious and novel. How do we ensure that only patents that meet these requirements are accepted by the patent office? Furthermore, how do we ensure that prior art doesn't exist and that the proposed solution isn't obvious to a skilled person in the field? The patent office recently completed a peer-to-patent project. This research project allowed anybody to comment on a patent application, show prior art, or help clarify any aspect of the potential patent. This project relied on Wikipedia-esque help, where people who care about the industry will volunteer their time to ensure that bad patents won't get through. I believe that this a step in the right direction and I hope that the project will be adopted and become mandatory as part of the approval process for any software or business method patent. However, it doesn't solve the entire problem. This process does not help with the non-obvious requirement of the patent. As I have previously stated, everything is obvious when someone shows you the answer. In the peer-to-patent project, the reviewers see the patent application. I think for the non-obvious type of analysis, a blind study would better serve this purpose. The patent office should create a pool of programmers and keep a database of their related skills. When a software patent is submitted, the patent office searches the database for programmers with skills in those related areas, then selects three to five programmers to perform the blind study. The study would involve giving the selected programmers the problem that the patent seeks to solve and some amount of time (24-48 hours or varying based on complexity) to outline or pseudo-code a solution. If none of the selected programmers are able to determine the solution described in the patent, then the non-obvious prong of the patent would be met. This would prevent patents that do obvious things with new technologies from being granted. Take Apple for example. Apple creates some new technology, say a touch-screen smart phone, that is rightfully protected by patents. Then it goes on to patent the software that interfaces with this technology. The problem with these second patents is that they are obvious. Apple has basically patented doing something with a finger on a touch-screen that people have been doing for years with a mouse on standard computers. I don't believe that just because the technology is patentable, various ways of interfacing with that technology are de facto patentable. A proposed blind study approach, using programmers willing to work for free just to ensure the quality of software patents, would prevent such obvious patents from being granted.
The second major issue is the length of software patents. Patents currently have a potential life of twenty years. I don't think that patents were meant to grant a monopoly to the holder for the entire life of the invention. They should only be granted for a limited time, long enough to recoup research and development and get a head start on the competition. This is just long enough to encourage innovation. Twenty years in the software world is equivalent to two eternities in the physical world. The problem with the current patent duration is that by the time the patent is no longer enforceable, the technology is outdated and irrelevant. For all intents and purposes, this prevents other companies from ever using the technology (without licensing agreements) and creates a permanent monopoly over the process. The patent system walks a tightrope between the anti-competitive effects of monopolies and the anti-innovation effects of not allowing ownership of intellectual property. Allowing the monopoly for some portion of the inventions usefulness is good for innovation and competition because it gives incentives for innovation without suffering the full effects of a permanent monopoly. Allowing the patent length to exceed the usefulness of the patent, however, hurts innovation and competition. Even worse, the current length of software patents disproportionately effects small companies and start-ups. As I have discussed before, large companies have patent "war-chests" that protect them from patent litigation. Small companies and start-ups, however, do not. I believe a more reasonable time frame would be better for software patents, something along the lines of five to eight years. This would give inventors time to market their product, without fear of copying for a period of time long enough to build a brand and recoup investments, while preventing a per se permanent monopoly over the invention.
So there it is, my thoughts and feeling on software patents. While I most certainly do not believe that software shouldn't be patentable (see the proposition in New Zealand), I do think that the patent office should do more to ensure that only deserving inventions get patent protection. Much of the backlash against software patents stems from the patent office approving patents that are obvious or non-novel and that hamper the ability of programmers to create new software. If the patent office were to take greater precautions to ensure that this didn't happen, I believe much of the opposition to software patents would disappear.

Don should remain tropical storm
July 28, 2011 at 2:28 a.m.
Victoria emergency officials recommend
All residents should stay off the roads Friday night and Saturday morning if high winds or tropical force winds hit the area.
All residents should secure any items around their home including garbage cans and any other loose items. Any loose items around the home will become projectiles in storm force winds.
All residents should review their emergency plan or browse to www.onestorm.org to create a free emergency plan.
The Red Cross suggests that residents assemble a "disaster supplies kit" to you keep in your home. It should contain a first aid kit with essential medication in addition to the usual items; a battery powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries; canned and other non-perishable food items and a hand-operated can opener; bottled water for three days; sturdy shoes and work gloves; and written instructions on how to turn off your homes utilities.
Residents are urged to fuel their vehicles now to avoid any rush at the gas pumps.
Residents living in mobile homes, RVs and campers should inspect their anchors and make plans to stay elsewhere if they do not feel safe in storm force winds.
Tropical Storm Don should not be at hurricane strength when it makes landfall along the Texas Coast Friday night or Saturday morning, but Victoria Emergency Management officials are urging residents to use caution when the storm hits.
If Tropical Storm Don stays on its current track, the Victoria area could see between 3-5 inches of rain and sustained winds at around 60 mph at landfall, according to a news release from the Victoria Emergency Management Office.
At 4 p.m, the National Weather Service reported that the storm was moving northwest at 16 mph with little change in strength as maximum sustained winds remained at 45 mph. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 85 miles.
Don should make landfall as a tropical storm and not as a hurricane, according to the update.
At 4 p.m., the storm was 425 miles south southeast of Corpus Christi.
A tropical storm warning is in effect from Port Mansfield to San Luis Pass.
A tropical storm watch is in effect from south of Port Mansfield to the mouth of the Rio Grande.
Don is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 5 inches from the central Texas coast westward into south central Texas with possible isolated maximum amounts of 7 inches.

Two important notes about our rented Italian cell phones:
1) Mike Wise already lost his. Someone came with a replacement today. Mike's response? "Thank you very much. I'll see you next week for the same thing."
2) I got a text message in Italian and finally found a translator. The translation?
"Hey, how are you? Is everything ok? How is the nanny?"
Were I fluent in Italian, I would certainly respond that the nanny lost her mind and ran off with the butler. Sadly, I am not.

Rihanna's documentary debuted May 6 on Fox, bringing us all into the world of RiRi — and what a world it is!
Rihanna let cameras follow her during her seven-show tour that went to seven countries in severn days. Talk about a one of a kind experience that you had to see to believe, and thanks to Rihanna, we finally got to see it all! (Well, almost all of it, anyway.)
Rihanna Calls Tour 'Brutal' In New Documentary
Rihanna got to go to some incredible places on her 777 Tour — including Mexico City, Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, and New York City. But two shows into the tour, RiRi was already over it, saying, "It's already feeling a little brutal." You might have thought the special was going to be equally as brutal, but as in life, there is always a silver lining!
Some background: Back in Nov. 2012, Rihanna invited dozens of journalists on her 777 tour, which consisted of seven concerts in seven countries in seven days via a 777 aircraft. Makes sense, right? Minus the lively concerts, there were endless reports that the journalists had a horrible time — but you definitely didn't see that aspect during this hour-long documentary. That's because the doc was more of an hour-long commercial for RiRi's latest album than something you expect to see in a documentary, like a story complete good times and hard times.
I'm not sure we really learned anything new during our time with the R&B princess, but we got to hear some good songs along the way. Speaking of that, we saw her sing (from time to time), then watch as she dealt with the tour demands — but after the hour, we were left wanting more!
Granted, if you're a Rihanna fan — a member of the "Rihanna Navy," even — this was probably a great time to be in her world, ever-so-briefly. "I know this is going to be an experience of a lifetime," she said at the beginning. "It's gonna be unlike anything we've ever experienced."
And one of the things that makes that reality funny was when an Australian DJ, instead of Rihanna, was dared to streak to relieve the journalist's stress during the grueling trip. Too bad it wasn't RiRi herself; that would have been incredible.
But you saw the show, so drop a comment and tell us your favorite (and not-at-all favorite) moments!

I am so glad that RiRi released a DVD of this tour because I wanted to go so bad, but with the limited shows there was no way I could. The performances were the real highlight, and I have to say that I loved all of them. I had no idea this was going to be on TV until a friend messaged me in the middle of my shift at DISH last night, but thankfully there was a recording waiting for me when I got home. I love how my DISH Hopper always records everything on FOX during primetime, so I don't have to set timers for special events like this.

Rihanna got boooed in Boston last night, the 777 tour was terrible, reporters were stuck on a tarmac for hours with no food, no agenda, didn't know where Rihanna was, and most didn't see her, because she was ill……doesn't it seem strange that she is ill so often? she was ill for 5 of the 7 day tour….constantly cancels concerts because she's ill, shows up 3 hours late to her own concerts.

@kim g i'm not sure if he dumped her.
there's still room for interpretation and misinterpretation.
their subtweets are some weird sh*t. dunno if this is my language barrier or there's really different meanings behind that. pretty clever written. i can read it two ways.
the obvious is he told her to love him was too much and she might stay away, be blessed and live her life. where she response looks like that her break to settle down with him she was asking for 100% dedication. not like his kiddo behaviour.
the other one is he self-tweeting that loving takes a toll and he grows still loving her over long distance while he gotta life his live. where she responds with 100% loyalty, honesty and respect. while concede to not force him to settle. she's grown enough to know what she wants.

I guess there is too much pressure on them both. Riri is very busy, and Chris is busy but also he seems to wants girls girls girls or sex non stop. If a girl is not willing to accept the unacceptable, (Chris behavior) being in a relationship with him is going to be like hell. I really love them together but even with all the love they have for each other, I believe Riri will suffer for being with him.

Must you buy health insurance?
Plans from Clinton and Obama may be unconstitutional.
An important element is being overlooked in the healthcare debate between the Democratic presidential candidates: namely, whether the plans they propose are constitutional.
The largest difference between their healthcare plans is that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton would "mandate" that everyone (with limited exceptions) purchase private health insurance. Although Sen. Barack Obama's plan also contains a mandate, it is much narrower – it is required only for children. Mr. Obama relies principally on subsidies, economies of scale, and regulation to achieve his version of universal coverage.
Are health insurance mandates constitutional? They are certainly unprecedented. The federal government does not ordinarily require Americans to purchase particular goods or services from private parties.
The closest we come is when government imposes a condition on the grant of discretionary benefit or permit. For instance, in most states, you must have auto insurance to drive a car, or you are required to install fire sprinklers when building a new house. But in such cases, the "mandate" is discretionary – you don't have to drive a car or build a house. Nor do you have a constitutional right to do so.
But Americans do have a constitutional right to live in the United States. Accordingly, neither federal nor state governments can require you to purchase health insurance as a "condition" for residency. The Supreme Court has drawn a distinction between requirements that are flat-out imposed by government and those imposed as a condition for discretionary benefits.

Time magazine's Joe Klein found the lesson (11/7/12) in Obama's re-election. And it involves… wait for it… moving to the right:
It will, and should, be argued that the election was a mandate for moderation. The last month of Mitt Romney's campaign, when he rushed to the center and suddenly made it a race, ratified the real will of the people: a sensible centrism that runs deeper than the over-caffeinated bluster that seems to dominate the media. The election hinted that the third rail of American politics–the certain death that comes to those who question entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare–is beginning to lose its juice.
So the result of the election "hints" at a moderate plan to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits? It's hard to find that outcome in the results; the public has never supported the idea of cutting such "entitlements," and there's no reason to think the electorate shifted much. Two exit polls show that 2012 voters are not interested in a "bargain" that would cut benefits in either case. This shouldn't be confused with the prospect that Obama might pursue a "grand bargain" that cuts benefits. That's certainly possible–but it's hard to see how that is what the public wants.
There's a convention in the corporate media to advocate for "moderation" and "centrism"–Tom Friedman might be the master of this particular genre of punditry. Usually their idea of the "center" isn't about what the public wants, though; it's usually a set of policies well to the right of popular opinion. That could make it awkward for them to keep saying that Democrats need to be more like Republicans–which is why appeals to "centrism" are so handy.

Catalyst Health Solutions Inc. has wrapped up its acquisition of Walgreens Health Initiatives (WHI) Inc., the pharmacy benefit management subsidiary of Walgreen Co.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ROCKVILLE, Md. – Catalyst Health Solutions Inc. has wrapped up its acquisition of Walgreens Health Initiatives (WHI) Inc., the pharmacy benefit management subsidiary of Walgreen Co.
Catalyst said Monday that over the past several months, teams of Catalyst and WHI associates have been collaborating to identify best practices from both organizations to ensure an efficient integration.
"We have been pleased with the integration planning and are highly confident that the company will rapidly realize the many strategic and financial benefits of this transaction," David Blair, chief executive officer of Catalyst, said in a statement.
Under the $525 million deal, announced in early March, Catalyst acquired all the capital stock of WHI.
The sale marked Walgreens' exit from the PBM market. For Catalyst, the acquisition of WHI swells its PBM membership from about 7 million people to more than 18 million, with annual prescription volume slated to grow from 80 million to over 165 million.
Walgreens has agreed to provide certain services to Catalyst following the completion of the deal to ensure a smooth transition for WHI customers and patients. The Deerfield, Ill-based drug chain previously reported that it expects the services to cost about $40 million.
Meanwhile, Catalyst has agreed to provide prescription drug benefit services for Walgreens' 244,000 active employees in addition to retirees and dependents, as well as to administer the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.
The companies also have said that Catalyst will maintain a significant presence in the Chicago area for Walgreens employees slated to join Catalyst as part of the transaction.
At the time the deal was announced, industry analysts called the sale of WHI a positive move for Walgreens. They said WHI lacked the scale to enable Walgreens to compete with the top players in the PBM arena and that the business diverged from the drug chain's core strategy of positioning its vast store network as the "center of gravity" to become the nation's "first choice for health and daily living needs."

CMock, Pointers, and Structs
CMock will likely directly support structures and pointers in the near future. But, we've been using the current form of CMock for a while now, and have learned a number of tricks that will help you to write good clean code which is also happily compatible with CMock. It might require a couple of minor philosophy tweaks at this point, but here are some tricks we have found useful. For example, you may have a local variable / struct / etc that you need to pass by pointer, like here:
void SuperGreatFunction(void) { MY_STRUCT_T MyStruct; FunctionToBeMocked(&MyStruct); }
This is, of course, slightly painful because CMock currently wants to test that pointer and it's something local. First of all, we avoid situations like this (more on this in a moment), but when it IS required, our approach is something like this:
#ifdef TEST MY_STRUCT_T MyStruct; #endif void SuperGreatFunction(void) { #ifndef TEST MY_STRUCT_T MyStruct; #endif FunctionToBeMocked(&MyStruct); }
The define TEST is automatically created whenever you are running Unity tests, so it can be used to make your local variables public for the purpose of your tests, but private outside your test. Similarly, functions which take a pointer to an object and modify it (a poor practice even when not doing testing, but made worse during a test situation because of the difficulty in modifying it at the appropriate place), we usually write the function to return a pointer to the modified object.
void AwesomeFunction(MY_STRUCT_T* MyStruct)
MY_STRUCT_T* AwesomeFunction(MY_STRUCT_T* MyStruct)
because you can now use AwesomeFunction_ExpectAndReturn(VersionYouExpectToGetPassedIn, VersionYouWantToReturnMostLikelyCreatedInYourTestOnly) With custom structures, in particular, we've found allocating and managing the structures within factory and warehouse modules to be a really good approach. Not only does it solve the limitation of structures with CMock, but, in fact, it promotes well designed code. We can segregate factory and warehouse modules from the code that consumes/uses the structures they manage - promoting better separation of use and allowing thorough but simple testing of instantiation and use of structures. We'll try to demonstrate with some example/pseudo code. Assume all but STATIC functions are declared in header files. We assume a STATIC macro exists that the preprocessor substitutes with 'static' in production builds and in test builds (thus allowing extern access to anything declared STATIC). It also helps avoid naming collisions when there's lots of pattern re-use. This isn't directly related to the topic at hand, but it's a style that is effective and We've used in this example.
////////////////////////////// // Foo.h ////////////////////////////// typedef struct _Foo { bool_t IsOk; uint32_t Value; } Foo; ////////////////////////////// // Foo.c ////////////////////////////// void Foo_SetIsOk(Foo* FooItem, bool_t Ok) { FooItem->IsOk = Ok; } bool_t Foo_GetIsOk(Foo* FooItem) { return FooItem->IsOk; } void Foo_SetValue(Foo* FooItem, uint32_t Value) { FooItem->Value = Value; } uint32_t Foo_GetValue(Foo* FooItem) { return FooItem->Value; } ////////////////////////////// // FooFactory.c ////////////////////////////// Foo* FooFactory_Manufacture(...params...) { // In real life you might want to use a malloc wrapper // for mocking and testing. It can have certain advantages. Foo* ptr = malloc(sizeof(Foo)); ptr->IsOk = param1; ptr->Value = param2; return ptr; } ////////////////////////////// // FooWarehouse.c ////////////////////////////// // use STATIC macro to make private in production but expose in tests STATIC Foo* Warehouse[FOO_COUNT]; STATIC void FooWarehouse_Store(Foo* FooItem, FooEnum Id); void FooWarehouse_Fill(void) { FooWarehouse_Store(FooFactory_Manufacture(params, FOO_A)); FooWarehouse_Store(FooFactory_Manufacture(params, FOO_B)); FooWarehouse_Store(FooFactory_Manufacture(params, FOO_C)); } Foo* FooWarehouse_Retrieve(FooEnum Id) { return Warehouse[Id]; } // // Private Helpers // void FooWarehouse_Store(Foo* FooItem, FooEnum Id) { Warehouse[Id] = FooItem; } ////////////////////////////// // FooUser.c ////////////////////////////// void FooUser_DooSomething(FooEnum Id, uint32_t Bar) { Foo* foo; foo = FooWarehouse_Retrieve(Id); if (Bar == 1000) { Foo_SetValue(foo, Bar*2); } else { Foo_SetValue(foo, 0); } } ////////////////////////////// // TestFooUser.c ////////////////////////////// void test_FooUser_DooSomething_ShouldClearFooValueIfParam1IsNot1000(void) { Foo TestFoo; FooWarehouse_Retrieve_ExpectAndReturn(FOO_A, &TestFoo); Foo_SetValue_Expect(&TestFoo, 0); FooUser_DooSomething(FOO_A, 1001); }
In your code, you would gather together all your warehouse fill calls at initialization. From that point on, you can call the retrieve function on the warehouse you need with an enum to get a reference to Foo you need. Centralizing all your instantiation really helps structure your code and this method means you can mock all your instantiation/filling in tests. Wrapping getters/setters around your Foo struct's member values allows you to mock and test all manipulations of a Foo without directly accessing the member values in each case that a Foo is used. That is, you can limit direct structure manipulation to just the getter and setter functions and tests thereof. Mocking the getters, in particular, makes testing of conditional logic on the member values of the structure much easier elsewhere. Because CMock can handle pointer comparisons just fine, you can use the approach demonstrated to handle any custom structure anywhere.

Rates of Change and Deep Time in the Middle Grades Classroom
Fred Siewers, Western Kentucky University
The nature and scientific measurement of geological and cosmological time are among the most misunderstood and difficult to teach concepts in all of K-12 science education. To address this issue, a multi-disciplinary team of geologists, astronomers and education professionals at Western Kentucky University developed a series of professional development workshops for pre- and in-service middle grades teachers. The participants clearly advanced their content understanding of geological and cosmological time and the implementation plans received clearly show a desire to apply many of the activities learned in the workshop.

I know it, you know it, we ALL know it. Blair's destiny is NOT to be the Princess of Monaco, but it's to remain Queen B — the Princess of Manhattan!
It's all boiled down to this: Blair, Chuck, Louis and a wedding. Blair will be faced with the choice to choose the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with on the Jan. 30th wedding episode of Gossip Girl … and I'm CERTAIN it will be Chuck Bass!
With more and more photos of Blair's (Leighton Meester) wedding being leaked, I can't contain myself! She clearly goes through with a part of the wedding, but from what we've seen she's a runaway bride — RIGHT? Or is the CW just trying to trick us? If I know Blair Waldorf and she's running away in her pretty custom-made Vera Wang wedding dress, the only person she's running to is Mr. Chuck Bass. Don't you agree??
Chuck (Ed Westwick) understands her more than anyone else does. He is her true love. They have a history together, she lost her virginity to him and he was the first girl he ever said "I love you" to. Blair and Chuck are inarguably the most right for each other couple out there, but I'm not so sure Blair will realize that at the time that it matters.
Could it be that Blair ends up being caught up in the fact that she's having Louis' baby and so badly wants to be a royal that she forgets what her heart truly desires?
I don't know about you, Gossip Girl fans, but I'm very confused about the clues the CW has been throwing at us — especially after the mid-season finale car crash. With Chuck being severely hospitalized and a SERIOUS rekindling between him and Blair, I would think Blair would hold out for Chuck. I'm very confused.
My only theory is that Chuck has some serious amnesia from the almost-deadly car accident and then Blair assumes that means that her and Chuck aren't supposed to be together after all. If he doesn't remember their love confessions in the back of the limo, then why should she try to tear her world down by bringing the truth up?
Well, I'll tell you why: sure, Blair will be happy for the rest of her life living with royals and being the Princess of Monaco, but she will never feel the true love like she felt with Chuck. It's like they say, your first love is always the most intense and real love you have in your life. If you can hold onto that for the rest of your life, that is something incredibly special, and Blair Waldorf has the chance to do so.
Sure, she's scared of getting hurt and that's totally understandable. Chuck can be an unpredictable man. But at the root of it all is love, and Blair and Chuck are so in love with each other, they will never be able to love any body else in that same capacity, which is why she better leave Louis (Hugo Becker) at alter to be with Chuck!
Honestly, these new photos worry me. Clearly, her bridal party walks down the aisle and she ends up at the alter with Louis. All we can hope is that some sense is knocked into her head and she rushes to Chuck before she says 'I do.' As cliche and expected as it would be, it would also be the greatest beginning to the greatest love story of all time!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Blair is going to be a runaway bride? Vote and weigh in below.

Most fans want Chuck with Blair (despite what 2 haters/Dair fans are saying here). Blair and Chuck are the only thing that is good on this show and the only thing that has kept this show going. It wouldn't have made it past season 2 without these two. Most want Blair to run away with Chuck (go look at twitter and facebook). We want a Chuck and Blair marriage and nothing else will do.

Refreshing Raspberry Soap
By: Maria Nerius, FaveCrafts.com Resident Craft Expert
This soap's aroma is fleeting, but heaven to smell while washing your hands or face. The lather is smooth and silky. Follow this raspberry soap recipe from Maria Nerius.
- 4 cups grated coconut soap base
- Brown soap colorant or slivers of brown candle colorant melted in 1Tbs of carrier oil
- Hand Grater/Food Processor
- Measuring Cups
- Double Boiler/Microwave with microwavable glass measuring cup or bowl
- Spoon
- Molds and mold release
- Small microwavable glass cup/bowl
- Sharp knife
- 10 drops of chocolate fragrance oil (FO)
- 15 drops of raspberry essential oil or fragance oil (EO/FO)
- 5 drops of peppermint essential oil or fragance oil (EO/FO)
Grate soap base. Gather and measure all ingredients.
Prepare mold or molds.
Prepare double boiler or use microwave. You will microwave the soap base for 1 minute on a low heat setting. Continue to melt soap in 20-second intervals until completely melted.
Melt 2 cups of soap base adding the brown colorant to the mixture and chocolate FO. Stir and mix well. At the same time melt 2 cups of soap base and add the raspberry and peppermint EO/FO.
Pour uncolored soap mixture in to a simple box mold. Now pour small amounts of the brown soap in to the mixture already poured in the mold. Working quickly use a spoon or knife and swirl the brown soap. Allow to cool about an hour, remove from mold.
- The soap will be in a flat rectangular or square loaf. Cut the loaf down making several manageable bars. Place the soap bars on a drying rack. The soap may have a marbled look with brown swirled in the creamy white soap. Turn occasionally to get even drying. Allow soap to dry for a few days and then the soap is ready to use. However, conditions vary and you may have to allow more days for drying and hardening.

I agree with the previous poster, candle colorants are not usually skin safe. You can get skin safe colorants very easily from an online supplier or even from a craft shop, like Joanns or Michaels. Also, there is no such think as Raspberry Essential Oil.
Candle colorants are not alwasy skin safe. Check with the manufacturer before using in a body product. When in doubt, dont use it. u can get a great color using herbs and natural colors such as beet juice (in little qty) or vanilla which naturally turns brown through oxidation on handmade body products.

AWS Marketplace Announces Support For Software Running On Microsoft Windows®
Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that the AWS Marketplace now supports Windows-based software and other new software categories including Big Data solutions. AWS Marketplace is an online store that makes it easy for customers to find, compare, and immediately start using the software they need to build products and run their businesses. Customers can now quickly discover and 1-Click deploy software products running on Windows Server to the AWS Cloud, including well-known business intelligence, database, and hosting solutions. As with all products in the AWS Marketplace, customers pay only for what they use and can scale their software up or down as needed. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances running Windows Server, include 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 editions, and as with all Amazon EC2 Windows instances, customers have the option of enterprise-class support and updates, while taking advantage of the security, scalability, and pay-as-you-go pricing of AWS. To learn more about the AWS Marketplace, visit http://aws.amazon.com/marketplace.
Windows users will now be able to find, deploy, and start using popular application infrastructure, development tools, and business software in minutes. These customers can use the AWS Marketplace to easily search and filter for Windows-compatible software, compare pricing across different server types, and launch in the AWS region of their choice. AWS Marketplace's 1-Click deployment lets customers start their software in minutes, automating the provisioning of hardware, and simplifying the deployment and configuration of software. Software charges appear on customers' existing AWS bills, and AWS consolidates payments through one pipeline – there's no need to set up and manage new accounts for every software product. With no servers to purchase and configure, and no complicated software deployment process, AWS is making it simple and easy to use Windows-based software.
A selection of popular Windows Server software is now available in the AWS Marketplace including products from Parallels Software, MicroStrategy, and Quest Software. Parallels Software is offering Plesk Panel, a widely used hosting control panel solution; MicroStrategy is helping customers quickly build business dashboards with their MicroStrategy 9.3 business intelligence platform; and Quest Software is making available their Toad database productivity software which helps customers support Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL databases running on AWS.

The radio was buzzing, voices yelling through the static. "He won't stop, he won't stop!" someone shouted. "He's trying to run me off the road!" Keith Mitchell managed to pull alongside the white GMC but couldn't get them to stop. Then Dorsey was off the road, the front of his truck hung up on a rock on the shoulder. The Mitchells kept following. As the chase approached busy Krome Avenue, it appeared the growers might have the pickup pinned in. Several cars were waiting at the three-way intersection. But at the last instant, the getaway truck wheeled to the left, spun out momentarily in the dirt at the northwest corner of the intersection, then shot out across the southbound lane of Krome and headed north. A "blat, blat" rang out, followed by the sound of pellets hitting the pickup's steel skin.
A holiday spent picking mangoes. That's what the two men, pals for about three years, had in mind when they flouted Danny Donovan's house arrest and Mike Lemus's probation and took a spin down to South Dade in Lemus's white GMC. A few hours of picking, a few hundred dollars worth of fruit for their efforts.
Donovan, who lived with his mother and grandmother in Spring Garden, had always been close to his brothers Billy and Joe, and the three grew even more so after their father was killed in an accident at his ironworking shop. At first the Donovan brothers tried to make the business work without their father, but they were unsuccessful.
"Danny was 30 but he had the mind of a fifteen-year-old, like a child," observes Manny Sanchez, who owns Manny's Marine Service. "That's the way he was. He would make me chicken soup at home and bring it to me." Sanchez says Donovan was always more than willing to give away what little he had, rather than keep it for himself. Whenever he went fishing, family and friends ate what he brought home. When his friends needed help moving, or working on their boats, Donovan helped without asking for anything in return. "If I had work around here that needed to be done, he always wanted to help," says Sanchez. "A good kid. Very noble, really."
Donovan's was a familiar face along the Miami River. One of his favorite hangouts was the Alibi Lounge in the Holiday Inn on NW 12th Avenue, where he went for the free nightly happy-hour spread. "He wasn't much of a drinker," Sanchez says. "Maybe a beer or two, but we went for the food." Donovan also frequented Tobacco Road on South Miami Avenue. At the same time, he tended to get into trouble with the law, problems his friends blame on "hanging out with the wrong crowd."
Four months before Memorial Day, Donovan had begun working as a handyman at Long's Motorcycle Sales, a small shop across the Miami River from his mother's house. He needed a job as part of terms of his house arrest for three grand-theft convictions, and wasn't allowed to drive because his license had been suspended. "Danny was a real sweetheart, but he was someone with no direction in life, no road to follow," says Theodora Long, whose husband John owns the shop. "But he was really trying. He would plead with John, `You have to keep me out of trouble.' So John would call him if he didn't come to work in the morning and say, `Danny, are you coming to work?' and Danny would show up."
The day after Memorial Day, when Danny Donovan didn't show up for work, John Long dialed the number of his mother's house. Lorraine Donovan cried the news into the phone.
"It was just terrible," Mike Lemus recalls. "The [J.R. Brooks employees] gave me some paper towels and I squeezed them in to try to stop the bleeding. Danny was saying, `Get some water, Mikey. Put some water on my head, my head's real hot.' Then he tells me, `Take me to the hospital, Mikey.' I said, `I can't, Danny, these guys won't let me.'"
When police arrived on the scene, just north of the Benjamina Nursery, they found eight Brooks trucks, plus the one owned by Fred Rutzke. Some of the pickups had been involved in the chase, some had arrived later. The grower's employees were milling around, talking to one another. Emergency medical personnel airlifted Danny Donovan to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where doctors rushed him into surgery in an attempt to remove a hunk of lead lodged four inches behind what had been his right eye.
Metro Police Det. Margie Grossman, who at the time was assigned to the agricultural patrol unit, read the 31-year-old Lemus his rights and took his statement in the back seat of a patrol car. Lemus told Grossman that he and Donovan had been picking mangoes that were hanging over a fence, when they were confronted by a grower. They took off. During the chase that ensued, two different Brooks employees in two different trucks pointed shotguns at the fleeing pair. Lemus told the detective it was impossible for him to identify the shooter because he was too busy driving. But he pointed out Murray Bass, who at the time was sitting in the back seat of another police car, as one of the men who leveled a shotgun at them.

Blending the charming allure of its storied past with lovingly renovated interiors and chic design, this owner-run Hotel is truly a one-of-a-kind Saddleworth Moors retreat.
Reflecting the age of the building, each of the beautiful en-suite guestrooms has been individually designed and furnished. Many also benefit from magnificent views over the surrounding countryside, four-poster beds or beautiful French doors leading onto the grounds.
For food lovers, 'The Grill' restaurant has quickly garnered an impressive reputation for creating high quality food from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Located on the edge of the village of Denshaw, it is just a 5 minute drive from J21 and J22 of the M62 and 30 from both Manchester and Leeds. It's also perfectly positioned for exploring the Peak District National Park.

Capacities/Footprints: Compact-model blast chiller/freezers improve efficiency and food safety in smaller foodservice operations. Features include enclosed, air-cooled condensers and removable, adjustable shelving that accepts standard steam table pans and grids. Small stand-alone quick-chill units are available starting with a three-tray (12" x 20") capacity configuration, while large batch-cooking kettles can produce up to 400 gals. of product.
Energy Source(s): Electro-mechanical equipment generally requires at least 230 volts. Kettles may be gas-heated.
Standard Features: Touch-pads controls generally come with easy-to-understand digital displays, automatic holding modes, and list temperature displays in °F. or °C. Self-contained evaporation eliminates the need for drains or attachments. De-icing features remove ice from evaporators quickly, while self-diagnostic systems identify service requirements. Self-closing doors with magnetic seals open beyond 90 ° for more convenient loading and unloading. Blast chillers with two independent cooling compartments give staff more flexibility when preparing cook-chill menus and they provide greater energy efficiency, as smaller amounts of food can be chilled in a single compartment without cooling an entire unit. Other standard features include microprocessor cycle controls and continuous digital readouts of internal equipment temperatures and/or probes providing internal temperatures of food products being processed.
New Features/Technology/Options: Advances in cook-chill technology offer cost-savings while delivering the fresh taste and quality of just-cooked food. One maker produces a kettle with a retractable agitator to allow for a pinned shaft. The design improves the flavor and texture of cooked foods by providing better agitation of foods. The redesigned agitator also helps facilitate cleaning of the kettle. Additionally, a lightweight, air-operated drop-down valve is now on the market and promises greater ease of use. Replacement parts are said to be a fraction of the cost of traditional designs. A multi-capacity tumbler chiller, available in 100-, 200- and 300-gal. capacities, allows operators to upgrade production as menus change without having to purchase another unit.
Key Kitchen Applications: Cook-chill equipment rapidly cools cooked food for safe holding in cold storage over extended time periods. The equipment prepares, packages and safely chills hundreds of meals for cold storage vs. cook-serve systems, which reduce labor costs and production times. Central kitchen-based cook-chill preparation allows better control over raw ingredients' quality and easier monitoring of proper ingredient handling procedures. Large-batch kettle cooking helps to ensure consistency.
Purchasing Guidelines: Since cook-chill systems allow for longer storage of foods in contrast to cooking menu items and holding pre-portioned amounts in a standard refrigerator or freezer, items can be produced in larger batches for multiple service points or customer groups. This reduces the number of batches that need to be prepared during any given period, which, in turn, saves labor.
Maintenance Requirements: Staff must thoroughly clean and sanitize kettles after every production cycle. Operators should look for stainless-steel construction and high-quality equipment designed with as few seams, tight corners and crevasses as possible, as these units will facilitate easy cleaning and thorough sanitation. Pumps and compressors require professional maintenance.
Food Safety & Sanitation Essentials: Using cook-chill equipment, the key to safe, extended storage of foods is very rapid cooling, which takes cooked products through the bacterial growth danger zone, typically 140 °F. to 41 °F. Chilling and holding equipment can cool food products from production temperatures down to 40 °F. and below, typically in 90 minutes to two hours, which is essential for food safety following HACCP guidelines.

Anatomy of a firing
The day Reid was fired
Anatomy of a firing
According to an Eagles team official, here is the rough timeline of what has happened so far on this momentous Monday morning at the NovaCare Complex:
Reid and team owner Jeffrey Lurie met between 8:30 and 9:00. It was at this meeting, the official said, that Lurie informed Reid that he was fired.
Reid addressed the team at 10 am at a regularly-scheduled team meeting, to tell them of his release. The official and several players described the meeting as "emotional." Safety Kurt Coleman and running back LeSean McCoy both said that the players gave Reid a standing ovation when he was finished talking.
After Reid was finished, Lurie addressed just the players in a meeting. Then, at 10:45 am, all of the club's front office employees gathered in the complex cafeteria. There, Lurie offered what were described as "kind words" in his introduction, after which Reid addressed the group and thanked them.
How would you rate Andy Reid's career as head coach of the Eagles?
| |
Excellent. It's been a winning era. | |
2232 (16.8%) |
Good. It's been a winning era, but they didn't win the big one. | |
7851 (58.9%) |
Fair. Too many losses in too many big games. | |
2306 (17.3%) |
Poor. He had a good run, but it's downhill for a long time. | |
935 (7.0%) |
Total votes = 13324 |
As of 11:30 am, Reid remains in the building and is meeting with any players who sought him out. The Lurie press conference is scheduled for 1 pm. As of now, Reid is not scheduled to attend.
Also as of now, none of the rest of the coaching staff has been fired.

"As you know, in our party, as in any broadly based party, there are people with a range of views on this issue, but I think I've been very clear as party leader.… As long as I'm prime minister we are not reopening the abortion debate." – Stephen Harper, April 21, 2011 You can read the whole story here.
Well, Mr. Harper, I'm going to take you at your word on this BUT I see a number of problems here.
First, you say "as long as I'm prime minister". Well, I don't know how much longer you will be prime minister. Let's face it, this is your third kick at the can looking for that elusive majority and I really don't think you're going to get it. If you're returned with another minority, how much longer will your party keep you around. You're NOT exactly a winning proposition when you haven't been able to deliver for the third time. So, I have to look in the wings of the Conservative Party of Canada for possible successors. Jason Kenney is one. Really viewed as an aggressive up-and-comer in the Party. Operates quite freely on his own and doesn't seem to be too bothered by your PMO. Another is James Moore, viewed as quite competent – a young one with a fairly solid following in the Party. So here's the first problem. Both are avowed "anti-choice" MP's. I can have no assurance that you'll survive as leader of your party, Mr. Harper, nor can I have any assurance that an anti-choice individual will not succeed you as party leader.

Nick Cave - The Exhibition features notebooks, diaries and photographs personally selected by Cave to tell his story.
The Library is the final destination for the travelling Arts Centre Melbourne exhibition.
Arts Centre Melbourne curator Janine Barrand says it offers a unique insight into Cave's mind.
"When you go and see a concert or listen to a CD you don't actually realise what goes on behind the scenes to put these songs together," she said.
"The exhibition actually explores some of Nick Cave's obsessions - he loved date stamps, he loved making lists."
Ms Barrand says the exhibition works on many levels.
"People who are fans of Nick Cave will actually find out things about him that they didn't know, particularly about his creative process," she said.
"It's a really special exhibition ... and it's a fascinating journey to trace."

"Michael Keenan continues to impress me with the quality of his wines and readers need to take notice of what is going on at this beautiful winery on Spring Mountain. The 2006 Chardonnay, which is primarily from estate vineyards, is reminiscent of a top-notch Chablis. It exhibits aromas of crushed rocks, spring flowers, white currants, lemon zest, and a hint of citrus oil. Medium-bodied and crisp, with no oak in evidence, this is a beauty to drink over the next 3-4 years." "The elegant 2005 Merlot reveals a sweet berry-scented nose with notions of roasted herbs, crushed rocks, and subtle wood as well as road tar. This medium-bodied, well-balanced, silky Merlot should be consumed over the next 5-8 years. An outstanding effort, the 2005 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard retains the elegant style, but ratchets up the level of concentration and complexity. A fragrant, red currant, sweet cherry, roasted herb, and mocha-infused nose is followed by a full-bodied wine with lovely elegance, finesse, sweet tannins, and long, layered fruit flavors that cascade over the palate with no hard edges. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Another stylish offering is the 2005 Mernet Reserve, a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot (350 cases). It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to an attractive bouquet of white chocolate, licorice, and sweet blueberry and red cherry fruit, medium to full body, and well-integrated tannin, acidity, and wood. This Margaux-like red can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. Keenan has done a fabulous job with the 2005 Cabernet Franc, a varietal that excels on Spring Mountain. A beautiful nose of menthol, black raspberries, blueberries, and flowers is followed by a fabulously intense, yet light on its feet, wine. Medium-bodied with excellent fruit and palate penetration, it never seems to tire or become overbearing. This is a gorgeously pure, lovingly textured effort to drink over the next 10-15 years." "Primarily from estate vineyards, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits notes of ripe raspberries, blueberries, and kirsch interwoven with spicy oak, subtle wood, and earthy undertones. With silky tannin and decent acidity, this medium-bodied, elegant Cabernet should drink nicely for 10-15 years. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve possesses more blueberry, raspberry, and floral notes, an elegant personality, full body, and outstanding depth, richness, and texture. Enjoy it for 15+ years."

Walnut and oyster shells. They're two of the bio-based materials in Ecolibrium®, our new wall base made from naturally renewable ingredients. Thanks to an innovative, patent-pending formulation, Ecolibrium is phthalate- and PVC-Free. It's our most sustainable wall base yet. And, it's one more way our products help you balance your flooring and accessories choices.
What is the definition of rapidly renewable? The USBGC (LEED V2.2) defines rapidly renewable as "made from plants that are typically harvested within a 10-year cycle or shorter." What are the rapidly renewable materials used in ecolibrium bio-based wall base? Ecolibrium contains a combination of walnut shells, pine rosin and vegetable oil – all of which are considered rapidly renewable materials, by the USGBC definition. Does Ecolibrium hold up as well as traditional wall base? Yes, Ecolibrium meets all the performance requirements of ASTM F1861, Standard Specification for Resilient Wall Base. What kind of fillers are used? 100 percent natural – walnut and oyster shells. What about nut allergies? There are no concerns about allergic reactions due to nut allergies. Research has shown that the allergens in nuts reside in the meat of the nut, rather than the shell. The shells are processed to remove any residual nut material. Walnut shells have been used in cosmetics for many years with no issues.

Family of about 130 Austroasiatic languages, spoken by more than 80 million people in South and Southeast Asia. Vietnamese has far more speakers than all other Austroasiatic languages combined. Other languages with many speakers are Muong, with about a million speakers in northern Vietnam; Khmer; Kuay (Kuy), with perhaps 800,000 speakers; and Mon, spoken by more than 800,000 people in southern Myanmar and parts of Thailand. Of all the Mon-Khmer languages, only Mon, Khmer, and Vietnamese have written traditions dating earlier than the 19th century. Old Mon, which is attested from the 7th century, was written in a script of South Asian origin that was later adapted by the Burmese (see Mon kingdom; Indic writing systems). Typical phonetic features of Mon-Khmer languages are a large vowel inventory and lack of tone distinctions.

Radical communist movement that ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. The Khmer Rouge, under the leadership of Pol Pot, opposed the government of the popular Norodom Sihanouk. They gained support after Sihanouk was toppled by Lon Nol (1970) and after U.S. forces bombed the countryside in the early 1970s. In 1975 the Khmer Rouge ousted Lon Nol. Their extraordinarily brutal regime led to the deaths (from starvation, hardship, and execution) of one to two million people. Overthrown in 1979 by the Vietnamese, they retreated to remote areas and continued their struggle for power in Cambodia. The last Khmer Rouge guerrillas surrendered in 1998.

A new report says Janet slapped Paris, called her a spoiled brat and tried to take away her cell phone on July 23rd.
The family battle over Michael Jackson's money and children is getting worse and worse, according to a new report on TMZ.
Sources confirm that there were two SUVs that drove into Katherine's Calabasas, CA, home on July 23. The first contained Janet, Randy, and Jermaine, while another followed with Michael's three kids: Paris, Blanket, and Prince.
Janet, Randy, and Jermaine did not have authority to enter, and immediately tried to convince the three kids to get in a car to drive them to Arizona to see their "missing grandmother."
A security video shows Janet trying to grab Paris' cell phone from her. Sources say Janet slapped Paris, and screamed "You're a spoiled little b**ch!"
Paris slapped Janet back and yelled, "This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f**k out!"
Meanwhile, TJ, who is seeking custody of the kids, tried to stop the guys, by putting Randy in a headlock and punching Jermaine in the mouth.
This battle is just getting started.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers?

Janet is a billionaire. This was not about the money. This article is seriously lacking in facts. I agree with a comment Gladys Knight made. If I had talked to one of my elders the way Paris spoke to Janet, I would have lost my teeth. And raise my hand to hit my aunt?? I would have been buried that day. Kids today are spoiled, self indulgent brats.

No wonder they took so long to find Bin Laden, they were too busy emailing their jumpoffs to look in hidey holes for terrorists. One of General Petraeus's good buddies General John Allen is now under investigation for the thousands...yes, you read that right...thousands of emails he sent his jumpoff, Jill Kelley.
In a new twist to the Gen. David Petraeus sex scandal, the Pentagon said Tuesday that the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, is under investigation for alleged "inappropriate communications" with a woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the woman with whom Petraeus had an extramarital affair.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a written statement issued to reporters aboard his aircraft, en route from Honolulu to Perth, Australia, that the FBI referred the matter to the Pentagon on Sunday.
Panetta said that he ordered a Pentagon investigation of Allen on Monday.
A senior defense official traveling with Panetta said Allen's communications were with Jill Kelley, who has been described as an unpaid social liaison at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., which is headquarters to the U.S. Central Command. She is not a U.S. government employee.
Kelley is said to have received threatening emails from Broadwell, who is Petraeus' biographer and who had an extramarital affair with Petraeus that reportedly began after he became CIA director in September 2011.
Petraeus resigned as CIA director on Friday.
Allen, a four-star Marine general, succeeded Petraeus as the top American commander in Afghanistan in July 2011.
The senior official, who discussed the matter only on condition of anonymity because it is under investigation, said Panetta believed it was prudent to launch a Pentagon investigation, although the official would not explain the nature of Allen's problematic communications.
The official said 20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails and other documents from Allen's communications with Kelley between 2010 and 2012 are under review. He would not say whether they involved sexual matters or whether they are thought to include unauthorized disclosures of classified information. He said he did not know whether Petraeus is mentioned in the emails.
So, let's recap. General Petraeus was slipping and sliding with Broadwell. Broadwell caught a whiff of Kelley and assumed she was another one of Petraeus' side pieces. So then Broadwell starts to send Kelley email stink bombs, unaware that Kelley is really Allen's jumpoff. Kelley gets shook and tells on Broadwell. An investigation starts and now everybody is going down. You got that? Next we are going to learn that they have been holding giant Illuminati style orgies on the pentagon star. I'm just sayin', this is why you don't slip n' slide where you work.
