Apple Cider Margaritas Pin it Share Print this recipe Here at Greatist, we believe in taking a day off. Instead of our regular programming Saturdays, our writers get a chance to write about living the greatist lifestyle and, basically, whatever they want. This is one of those awesome articles. Enjoy! Summer may be out of arm's reach, but that doesn't mean we need to retire this traditional summer-time cocktail. We swapped out the salt for sugar, lime juice for apple cider, and skipped the simple sugar all together. What we ended up with is a deliciously simple cocktail that will warm our hearts even as the cold weather rolls in. Photo by Jordan Shakeshaft Apple Cider Margaritas Serves two. Adapted from How Sweet Eats What You'll Need: 2 ounce gold tequila 2 ounce triple sec 10-12 ounces apple cider (we used Trader Joe's Spiced Cider) Cinnamon + sugar for glass rimming Apple slices for garnish What To Do Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on a plate, run an apple segment around the edge of the glass and press the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the rim. Add ice, tequila, and triple sec. Fill the rest of the glass with apple cider and stir (or shake, if you're feeling fancy). Garnish with apple slices (feel free to sprinkle extra cinnamon or add a cinnamon stick, too!) Drink Responsibly!

Arizona State Sun Devils
Good seats still available
If you don't mind, would you help me if the question comes up again? If Todd Graham asks me, "What will it take for us to get the fans to support the program," what should I say?
I know of three people, and there might be more, at Arizona State who left seven-figure salaries to take a significant pay cut to build ASU athletics. Notice I didn't say "re-build," because something has to be built in the first place in order to be "re-built."
In Graham's first year, ASU was a field goal versus UCLA away from going to the first ever Pac-12 Championship game. In his second year, ASU won the Pac-12 South Championship.
The university completely broke through its own ceilings and gave an enormous raise to offensive coordinator Mike Norvell. Norvell has received a number of offers to leave for much higher jobs that would normally have led to ASU giving up on keeping a talented, young coach. Not anymore. Arizona State didn't blow away some of the offers, but it went well above and beyond its track history to prove it is willing to pay to succeed.
Arizona State's newest commitment is hiring one of the leading stadium architectural firms to run the Sun Devil Stadium renovation. The athletic director that has already stated doing something with the arena is on the agenda.
Every aspect of Arizona State athletics seems to be moving forward. The only thing not moving forward: fan support. One member of the athletic department told me ticket sales to the first game were "abysmal." "Disappointing" and "not good" were other words and phrases used by two other people with ASU Athletics. It takes 1.2 percent of Maricopa County residents to sell out Sun Devil Stadium.
I'll never forget last year when Coach Todd Graham asked me what it would take for fans to support the program. I told him to just win, because this was a bandwagon town. I was wrong. Winning hasn't changed the lack of fan support. Hopefully something changes in the next three weeks.

Microsoft Down Under
Microsoft Australia won a case this September against Paul McLane, a Melbourne trader who produced and sold counterfeit copies of Microsoft's Windows and Office software
According to a report from ComputerWorld, McLane was trading the phony software under the name "Software Paul," and was ordered by the Federal Circuit Court of Australia to pay $4,994.95 in compensatory damages plus $300,000 in damages for multiple copyright infringements against Microsoft.
The Federal Circuit Court found McLane to be a repeat offender. In 2005, Victorian police seized 1,473 pirated discs from McLane, along with an additional 799 discs in 2006.
In his most recent scheme, investigators discovered McLane selling copies of Windows containing malware. He was caught by Microsoft intellectual property investigators during an Office sweep conducted in 2012.

Hooker Furniture Doubles Net Income On Higher Sales In Fiscal 2014 First Quarter
MARTINSVILLE, Va., June 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hooker Furniture (Nasdaq:HOFT) today reported net sales of $56.3 million and net income of $2.1 million, or $0.20 per share, for its fiscal 2014 first quarter, which began on February 4, 2013 and ended May 5, 2013, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.09 per share, during last year's first quarter. The 108% increase in net income was driven by higher sales across all operating units, decreased product discounting for casegoods, and lower product costs and higher operating profitability for the domestic upholstery operations of Bradington-Young and Sam Moore.
Net sales for the first quarter increased $4.6 million, or 8.8%, compared to $51.7 million for the same period a year ago. Average selling prices increased in both the Company's segments, casegoods and upholstery, and were partially offset by lower unit volume in the Company's casegoods segment. The casegoods unit volume decline was primarily due to lower promotional discounting compared to the prior-year quarter.
"The improvements we saw in the second half of last year continued into this quarter with year-over-year increases in orders, shipments and profits for both the casegoods and upholstery segments," said Paul B. Toms Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "We're trending in the right direction on multiple levels. Our upholstery segment had the best performance in the last several years this quarter and our casegoods segment is beginning to grow again. We believe our inventory levels are in the optimum range and retail conditions are stronger than in recent years," he added.
"We were able to more than double consolidated net profit while absorbing start-up costs associated with two new business ventures we are launching to expand our business beyond our core customer demographic and reach additional consumers on each end of the age spectrum," Toms said. "Our new Homeware product line, which is set to launch on two eCommerce websites in late summer, targets young Millenials in the early stages of their careers. The Homeware line features fresh, fashionable furnishings that are parcel delivery shippable and easily assembled in the home with an innovative, patented connector system requiring no tools. On the other end of the age spectrum, our new H Contract brand, launched in April, caters to retirees moving into senior living facilities, whose ranks are projected to triple in the next 20 years."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

MOVIE REVIEW:Micmacs (2010)
Auhtor:Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Guillaume Laurant
First, it was a mine that exploded in the middle of the Moroccan desert. Years later, it was a stray bullet that lodged in his brain... Bazil (Dany Boon) doesn't have much luck with weapons. The first made him an orphan, the second holds him on the brink of sudden and instant death.Released from the hospital, Bazil is homeless. Luckily, our inspired and gentle-natured dreamer is adopted by a motley crew of secondhand dealers living in a veritable Ali Baba's cave, whose talents and aspirations are as surprising as they are diverse: Remington, Calculator, Buster, Slammer, Elastic Girl, Tiny Pete and Mama Chow.One day, walking by two huge buildings, Bazil recognizes the logos of the weapons manufacturers that caused his hardship. With the help of his faithful gang of wacky friends he sets out to get revenge. A gang of underdogs battling heartless industrial giants, they relive the battle of David and Goliath, with all the imagination and fantasy of Buster Keaton... In French with English subtitles.

As long as we live in Maine we are going to have to deal with these snowy winters. So why not find ways to enjoy what winter has to offer? Exeter New Hampshire resident Brian Crowley has done just that.

With the first batch of his namesake Amber, Karl shared a beer and a passion that changed brewing in San Diego. Imported Munich malts give our original flagship the deep bronze color and crisp toasted malt flavors of a Vienna-style lager, while Cascade hops and our proprietary yeast strain lend a smooth body and clean finish. Brewed in small batches since 1989, Karl Strauss Amber remains San Diego's original session beer.
Karl spent his life making beer. He believed that behind every beer recipe was an inspiration, and behind every pint was a story waiting to be told. Karl Strauss Amber was his story, a story that challenged and inspired a new generation of brewers. Today we brew our own stories, while raising a pint to the man and the beer that started it all.
Alcohol by Volume: 4.5%
Color: 15 SRM
Bitterness: 18 IBU
Availability: 24/7/365, Kegs, six-packs and twelve-packs.
Note:Formerly Karl Strauss Amber Lager, 4.2% and 16 IBU.

Home > About the CIA > News and MediaPast News StoriesFor the MediaYouTube Channel Share This Latin Cuisines Culinary Historian Speaks at Commencement Posted: July 9, 2014Maricel Presilla Tells Graduates that Education is Power, and with Power is ResponsibilityMedia Contact:Jeff Levine Communications Manager firstname.lastname@example.com Park – Dr. Maricel E. Presilla, a culinary historian, author, and chef specializing in the foods of Latin America and Spain, reminded graduates of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) they are following a tradition of excellence, and with it carries responsibility. Dr. Presilla was commencement speaker at the college's Hyde Park, NY campus on July 3."Keep your sharp knives at hand, but hold on to the wooden spoon," Dr. Presilla told 61 recipients of associate degrees in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts. "A wooden spoon becomes one with the food. It also represents the collective wisdom of grandmothers and home cooks everywhere."Dr. Presilla is president of Gran Cacao Company, a Latin American food research and marketing company that offers cacao educational programs and premium heirloom cocoa beans. She is also chef and co-owner of two restaurants and a Latin American food store in Hoboken, NJ."If I had it to do all over again, I would be a graduate like you are, from The Culinary Institute of America. You are standing on the shoulders of giants," said Dr. Presilla, a native of Cuba who immigrated to the United States in 1970. "You are the heirs of the tradition of this accumulated wisdom and you have a responsibility. Make your kitchen a place of wonders. Make your kitchen a pleasant place. Don't ever forget that education is power and now you have the power to change the world."A member of the CIA's Latin Cuisines Advisory Committee, Dr. Presilla has been a presenter at the college's Latin Flavors, American Kitchens and Worlds of Flavor conferences. In 2013, the most recent of her five books, Gran Cocina Latina: The Food of Latin America (Norton, 2012), won both the International Association of Culinary Professionals' cookbook award for General Subject Book of the Year and the James Beard Foundation Award for Cookbook of the Year. She won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic in 2012.

Grendlehop April 30, 2013 3:10 PM MotoGP » Valentino Rossi: We can be very fast at Jerez It's pretty hard to discredit a rider who gets a good start, maintains their pace and pulls off the win, but I do find those types of race finishes a little less exciting than those where battles are fought. Vale has proven dozens of times that he is the most eager & capable battle seasoned rider currently in the paddock. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been watching. His moves may be controversial at times, but he doesn't have the ability to let an opportunity to pass go by if there's any chance it'll stick! Reply Report abuse 5 agree 1 disagree
Grendlehop April 30, 2013 1:46 AM Last Edited 670 days ago MotoGP » Puig reacts to Schwantz's Pedrosa comments When is Dani's contract up? If Marc finishes ahead of Dani, he may still have one or two more years left on the squad. HRC know they have the future with Marc & Dani will start to be phased over to their clear #2 rider. However, there is a benefit to a team mate who is capable of beating the other teams competition, but not the teams #1. The manufacturers & team championships are also something HRC desire.

Grendlehop April 30, 2013 1:57 AM MotoGP » Puig reacts to Schwantz's Pedrosa comments I don't like the term "legend", esp when used as a noun. Here's the definition: Noun A traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated. Adjective Very well known: "his speed was legend". Synonyms fable - story - tale - inscription - myth. The key being "historical", but "not authenticated". Folks opinions are like a$$holes, & often times they stink. Lol!

Grendlehop April 29, 2013 3:51 PM MotoGP » Puig reacts to Schwantz's Pedrosa comments 8 years on a factory bike is a long time indeed, but look at the number of podiums and wins. His numbers far surpass Nicky's. Don't get me wrong, as I'm American & always root for Nick, Colin & Ben. It's also true that a title is something much easier to remember, but I won't ever forget how good a rider Dani is, and that's all that I personally care about. Also, I'd like to see what he could do on another make. He's a decent guy & hope to watch him for many years to come. Reply Report abuse 11 agree 1 disagree
Grendlehop April 27, 2013 1:14 PM MotoGP » Austin MotoGP: CRT tyre debut 'overwhelmingly positive' Thanks Coffee. The article also mentioned the possibility of the inclusion of a chassis. With an M1 engine and a decent chassis, these bikes may prove to be more capable than the budget-based engine in the HRC Production Racer, no? At any rate, next season looks to be as exciting as this years, given riders like Pol & Redding may be here! I wonder what will happen with Nicky next year. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
Grendlehop April 27, 2013 5:58 AM Last Edited 673 days ago MotoGP » Lorenzo: Everything came together for Marquez Lorenzo is prob the smartest rider in the field. Knowing when to push & when to know your betters is crucial over a long season. People tend to remember Championship Winners before than they can recall each individual race result. Nicky, for example, may have only ever won a few races, but he's got one thing that multi-race winner Dani hasn't got BTW, I would like nothing more than to see him do it!!

Grendlehop April 26, 2013 8:34 AM Last Edited 674 days ago MotoGP » Lorenzo: Everything came together for Marquez Jorge is so mentally strong, that being his edge over his fellow countrymen. I love Vale, but the youth & skill of his 3 Spanish counterparts will be very hard to deal with. Him being 14 years Marc's senior. He should not be at all ashamed of finishing behind him or Jorge. His bare minimum should be 4th. Anything less should be considered failure. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 0 disagree

Grendlehop April 26, 2013 4:13 AM MotoGP » Ben Spies to miss Spanish MotoGP I think he may miss racing back home in the USA. He's clearly stated he doesn't enjoy flying, preferring to travel by RV. Sure, the $ in GP is much greater, but I think he'd do ok back here as well. I don't know for sure, but I've heard European SBK doesn't pay unless your at the tip-top & the AMA can be profitable for the little guy even. I miss watchin the AMA with Matt, Ben, Miguel, E-Boz & B-Boz, the Haydens and Yates, even though Aaron scuttled the championship for Eric @ Laguna many years ago. Ahhh, Memories!!

Grendlehop April 26, 2013 3:56 AM Last Edited 674 days ago MotoGP » Austin MotoGP: CRT tyre debut 'overwhelmingly positive' With Yamaha supplying engines, Honda introducing their Production Racer and Suzuki poised for a return, will there really be CRTs? It's doubtful anyone will be able to "claim" an M1 engine. I hope this all comes to pass. CRT was a nice experiment for Esp & RDP, but the others performed much farther from the prototypes. Aprilia should up it a bit & try to be there FOR REAL when Suzi comes back. 4 prototypes per manufacturer, including Aprilia and Suzi would equal 20 bikes. Add 4 HRC Prod. Racers & 2 Yamaha M1 engine leases would bring the field up to 26!!! One can dream I suppose. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree

'Jersey Shore' Angelina Thinks 'The Situation' Is Gay
EXCLUSIVE: Angelina Pivarnick isn't even on 'Jersey Shore' anymore, but that hasn't stopped the feisty Staten Islander from lobbing bombs at her former castmates. Her target this fine Monday is Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, who she believes is -- mamma mia -- gay.
"I think Mike is gay," Angelina tells me, bluntly. "I think he's gay because of the way he talks and the way he abuses girls. He talks down to women."
Reached for comment, Mike's rep calls Angie's comments "ridiculous," telling me that "obviously the only way she can get press is to slander my client. She's become a circus sideshow. Kinda sad to see."
This isn't the first time gay rumors have been dismissed by Mike. After he was caught off guard appearing on the cover of the Village Voice's Queer Issue in 2010, Mike said he was happy to pose for his gay fan base, although he made it clear he was straight.
Angelina, who hooked up with Sitch, compared him to a dead fish, saying, "I didn't have sex with him but to be honest with you, to get a girl riled up to the point where you want to have sex, he doesn't even know how to do that. I honestly feel like he's in the closet right now; he doesn't want to come out."
Honey, just because a guy doesn't want to go all the way with you doesn't make him gay, that makes him smart -- a word I never thought I would use in the same sentence as "The Situation"!

I agree with you that gay men treat women good, but I don't agree with you that they want to be women. You're confusing them with transgender folks (I believe that's the term, but I apologize if I used the wrong one). Either way, who cares? Gay, straight, or otherwise all that matters is the person's heart and soul...jeez, people...this shouldn't even be news!

Reviews For Wolverine Boots 2074
Comfort - I stand all day on concrete floors with none of the back pain I used to get with other boots. Durashocks are the most comfortable boots you can get.
Durability - I wore the last pair for 18 months and am only replacing them because they are starting to stink, even the original laces are still holding up.
Slip resistant soles - As an aircraft mechanic I have to climb around on top of helicopters covered with hydraulic fluid and I feel very sure-footed in these boots.
Value - Great boot at an affordable price.
Best boots I've ever had. Just ordered my third pair.

Bacon: whether it's a new product, a joke or a story, when people hear the word (or smell) bacon, they let me know.

PYROLYSIS OF BIOMASS Thermal decomposition of solid waste (e.g., woody biomass or agro-residue) in an inert atmosphere or with insufficient oxygen to cause partial oxidation (to provide the heat for decomposition) is called pyrolysis. Depending on the rate of heating, final temperature reached, a mixture of gas, liquid and remaining solid are the products. Pyrolysis processes are carried out for (i) to produce char -coal and (ii) To produce pyrolysis-oils, which may be processed into liquid fuels. EFFECT OF HEATING BIOMASS IN AN INERT ATM Products: mixture of gas liquid and solid Gas: A fuel about 20-25 % of the input mass. Liquid: Tar + Aqueous solution +Oil Solid: Char Factors which affect amount and quality of products: COMPOSITION OF BIOMASS, RATE OF HEATING & FINAL TEMPERATURE REACHED HIGHER THE HEATING RATE & FINAL TEMP, HIGHER THE CONVERSION TO GAS AND LIQUID PRODUCTS, HIGHER THE CARBONIZATION OF THE CHAR 1 SLOW PYROLYSIS WOOD + HEAT WOOD CHAR +GAS Thermal decomposition begins at about 100- 150 oC, increases with rising temperature .At about 270 o C, exothermic reactions set in with a rise in temperature (usually held at 400-500 o C) bringing about complete carbonization. The products are charcoal, condensable liquids, and non-condensable gases. CHEMICAL REACTIONS: C6n[H2O]5n 6nC +5nH2O Secondary reactions: C + H2O CO + H2 2CO + 2H2 CH4 + CO2 C + 2H2 CH4 C + 2H2O CO2 + 2H2 FACTORS AFFECTING CHARCOAL QUALITY AND YIELD: Apart from the moisture content of the wood charge, the type of wood and its chemical composition, the charcoal properties depend significantly upon the carbonization temperature. At lower temperatures the yield is high but carbon content is low. 2 ULTIMATE ANALYSIS OF WOOD AND CHAR: TEMP: 400 o C: (PINE SAW DUST AND BARK CHARCOAL) It is seen that compared to wood the char has higher carbon content, heating value increases and oxygen and hydrogen content decreases. Ash content increases slightly and char is a more reactive fuel free from moisture.

[662.8—76582] 5 Pyrolysis Fast pyrolysis for liquid is less developed than gasification but offers the considerable advantage of a liquid product that can be stored or transported, i.e. de-coupling the conversion technology from the utilisation of the product. As with gasification the system has to be considered in totality and the component needs and system needs are identified and described. The heart of the fast pyrolysis process is the fast pyrolysis reactor. Many types are currently operational and no best method has emerged. Indeed, further innovation should be expected, with new concepts and both radical and minor modifications to reactors to reduce costs, improve yields, improve product quality and improve ease of scale up. The use of catalysts to enhance the pyrolysis process and improve the product quality is likely to increase. A key feature of further development will be increasing attention on the fundamentals of pyrolysis - modelling, design, mechanisms etc. which are essential for further process improvement and optimisation. Product collection Efficient collection of the liquid product in terms of yield and product quality is still a major problem. Heat exchange is not sufficient by itself as the product is largely in aerosol form which, like cigarette smoke, is very difficult to capture. Quenching and electrostatic precipitation are currently the preferred options, but there is a need to design more 6 effective and efficient devices. Selective condensation or fractionation can be explored again to improve product quality and possibly enhance yields of chemicals. In addition to collection problems, there is the problem over char in the product which is too small to be collected in the cyclones and accumulates in the liquid. This can be removed by hot vapour filtration which affects product yield and quality or by liquid filtration or centrifugation which is difficult and gives high losses. The third option is to adapt the application to accept liquid with a significant char content. All these solutions have advantages and disadvantages and require further R&D and subsequent evaluation to identify the preferred route. Product characterisation and quality Pyrolysis liquid is a fuel oil but with significantly different characteristics from conventional fuel oils in that it is water- miscible and relatively unstable through viscosity changes and occasionally phase separation and is temperature sensitive. The important characteristics for each potential application need to be defined and steps taken to satisfy requirements such as by addition of modifiers or enhancers. Characterisation of this liquid is difficult and standard fuel tests may not be appropriate. New tests may have to be developed to measure key parameters including stability in particular. Chemical analysis is complex from the wide range of different functional groups and the very large number of individual chemicals. Analysis is important to aid process analysis and hence process optimisation and requires 7 continued support to ensure that ongoing research projects are properly supported. Product modification: Upgrading to a product that is compatible with conventional fossil fuels will remain of interest even though the chemistry and economics of the conversion of biomass or bio-oil, with its high oxygen content, to hydrocarbons with no oxygen, is not easy. Upgrading by hydro-processing type methods to hydrocarbons and transport fuels is technically successful but uneconomic due to the hydrogen requirement and high pressure processing. Zeolite cracking is potentially more interesting as low pressure is required without any hydrogen and the process is integrated into the fast pyrolysis process, but yields are lower and a more complex integrated catalytic regenerative process is needed. This makes useful research difficult to perform in small scale laboratory systems. This area of integrated catalytic pyrolysis is deserving of further study for process and product optimisation. The stability problems that have been reported with the liquid are believed to be caused by polymerisation/condensation type reactions between carbonyl groups in aldehydes for example and the phenols in the acid environment. Modification of the more reactive functions in the liquid would lessen or minimise such reactions. This is being studied through modification of the pyrolysis process either within the reactor or close coupled, and also by modification of the liquid after its production. Neither route yet has enough results to offer guidance. The interface between fast pyrolysis and the liquid product application needs more careful assessment for a 8 variety of topical applications so that the bio-oil requires minimum modification. Applications Heat: Combustion of pyrolysis liquid has been successfully demonstrated but problems remain with handling and stability, start-up and shut-down, atomisation, emissions, co- firing with other fuels, although some success has been reported with emulsions, flame temperatures and patterns. Power: Both engine and turbine show promising results with some improvements over conventional fuels but require long term operation and optimisation in order to assess corrosion, deposits and offer warranties. The anticipated problems of instability etc. have not materialised. Chemicals: Chemicals offer the high value-added opportunities that this industry requires to be viable in the short term. The markets require development however, both for product substitution a well as new products. System: It is important to consider the complete system in terms of energy integration and utilisation of the gas and char by- products. 9 Conclusions on pyrolysis: Fast pyrolysis offers the unique advantages of a liquid that can be stored and/or transported and which can be used for fuel and/or chemicals production. There are still many challenges to be met including provision of consistent bio-oil in sufficient quantities for thorough testing in various applications, scale-up of fast pyrolysis processes with concomitant cost reductions from process development, and development of norms and standards for the liquid product particularly in terms of quality so that it can be marketed successfully.

[Ref: Electrical India 40 (18): 39, 2000] The production run of Bio Oil made from sugarcane bagasse using the patented Bio Oil pyrolysis technology has been successfully completed by Dyna Motive Technologies Corporation in its pilot plant in Vancouver. The patented technology converts low value forest and agricultural wastes into liquid fuel. A commercial Bio Oil production plant processing 100 tonnes of dry bagasse per day will produce approximately 22000tonnes of Bio Oil per annum displacing 10.3 million liters of diesel oil and providing 30000 tons of greenhouse-gas credits. Unlike fossil fuels, Bio Oil is clean burning, low in SOx and NOx emission, is greenhouse gas neutral. It can be produced economically from renewable biomass waste materials. 11 Pyrolysis for Pyrolytic oils: Ensyn - News and Information COMMERCIAL BIO-OIL PRODUCTION VIA RAPID THERMAL PROCESSING Mr Barry Freel, Dr Robert Graham Ensyn Group Inc. 20 Park Plaza, Suite 434 Boston, MA 02116, USA 11 December, 2000 ABSTRACT: Ensyn has successfully developed a commercial biomass refining business, based on the commercial production of bio-oil and the use of bio-oil for the subsequent production of value-added natural chemical products and fuels. After ten years of commercial operations and with a number of commercial facilities in operation, Ensyn has embarked on a significant expansion of its activities. INTRODUCTION Ensyn's core technology in the biomass sector is the Rapid Thermal Processing or RTP™ process, which consists of a proprietary system for the fast thermal conversion of wood and /or other biomass to high yields of a light, liquid bio-oil, for the subsequent extraction and manufacture of natural chemical products and bio-fuels. 12 Ensyn's RTP™ technology, the world's only commercial fast pyrolysis technology, is the foundation of a new and exciting biomass refining industry. In the biomass refining concept, value-added chemical products are first recovered from bio-oil, and the remaining liquid bio-oil is then used for fuel and power (bio-energy) applications. Ensyn has pioneered the development of the biomass refining industry through the development of a proprietary, commercial, fast pyrolysis technology and, in parallel, the development of a number of value-added natural chemical products and bio-fuels sourced from RTP™ bio-oil and related by-products. Ensyn's RTP™ technology has been under continuous development by Dr Robert Graham and Barry Freel, (Ensyn's President & CEO and VP & Chief Technology Officer, respectively) since 1980. The RTP™ name was first established in 1984. The first process patent related to RTP™ issued in 1991, and subsequent process patents issued in 1994 and 1999. A number of additional product patents have issued. The key patents are all held by Ensyn Group Inc. or its 100% controlled subsidiaries. Commercial sales of RTP™ equipment and/or RTP™ bio-oil products were initiated in 1989. The Company's principal design, engineering and R&D operations are located near Ottawa, Ontario. There are presently four (4) RTP™ plants in commercial operation. A new commercial RTP™ plant and a bio-oil refining plant are currently under construction. 13 APPLICATIONS Ensyn's RTP™ technology is based on the biomass refining concept, in which high yields of a consistent quality bio-oil are produced, and value-added chemical products are recovered and/or manufactured from the bio-oil, before the remaining liquid bio-oil is used for fuel and power (bio- energy) applications. Ensyn currently produces approximately 30 chemical products from whole RTP™ bio- oil, and these are sold in commercial applications related to the food, polymer/co-polymer, petrochemical and natural chemical industries. BUSINESS MODEL Ensyn's business model in biomass activities is based on the ownership and operation of production facilities in which value is maximised by optimising multiple product streams available from the pyrolysis of biomass feedstocks. This model is typically based on the extraction of higher- value natural chemical products from RTP™ bio-oil, and the use of remnant bio-oil for lower value energy purposes. In addition, the char is a high quality, consistent product which may be consumed for energy in the process itself, sold as is, or activated for higher-value applications. The combustible byproduct gas is normally used internally for RTP™ process heat. In typical biomass applications, Ensyn does not supply its equipment to third parties, nor does it license others to use its technology. 14 NATURAL CHEMICAL PRODUCTS Ensyn has been producing commercial quantities of chemical products from its RTP™ bio-oil since 1991. Early commercial production of chemical products was focused primarily on the food industry. More recently, Ensyn has introduced a range of polymer and co-polymer products. The polymer/co-polymer products represent newer markets for Ensyn, but these sectors represent far greater growth potential. Ensyn recently entered into a joint development program with Louisiana Pacific Corp., the leading US wood products manufacturer, for the development of adhesive products from bark wastes; this program was awarded a grant of US$1.4 million from the US Department of Energy. In addition, Ensyn is working with other leading companies in the wood and industrial adhesive markets in the development and application of various adhesive products made from RTP™ bio-oil. The use of these natural products from RTP™ bio-oil presents users with attractive advantages including cost, performance and environmental benefits. The environmental benefits include replacement of fossil-fuel chemicals in adhesive formulations, waste biomass remediation, and possibly CO2 credits. ENERGY APPLICATIONS In addition to natural chemical products, Ensyn has developed a number of actual and potential energy applications for its bio-oil. These include the use of RTP™ bio-oil in boilers, stationary drivers (i.e., engines, turbines) and as a fuel component in transport applications. A number of initiatives are under way in these areas which are 15 confidential. As petroleum prices rise and environmental impact costs are accounted for, there are clearly a number of interesting opportunities for Ensyn bio-oil in the energy markets. In particular, reference is made to those energy markets that have fiscal incentives for renewable energy, CO2-neutral fuels, and low sulfur fuels. It is possible that in the future Ensyn will establish RTP™ facilities which are 100% bio-fuel related. Nevertheless, under present market conditions, we believe that the most attractive economics are in adopting a refining approach to this industry, based on the extraction of higher-value natural chemical components first, and the use of remnant bio-oil in lower value applications such as fuels. RAPID THERMAL PROCESSING Ensyn's RTP™ technology has represented a true breakthrough in biomass thermal conversion. It is the world's first and only proven commercial biomass fast pyrolysis technology. In the Ensyn RTP™ process, wood or other biomass material is fed into a heated vessel where it is contacted with a stream of hot sand. There is essentially no combustion occurring in this vessel since air input is minimized. At a temperature of around 500°C, much lower than combustion or gasification, the turbulent hot sand instantly flashes the biomass into a vapor, which is then cooled, condensed and recovered as a liquid product. RTP™ is fast pyrolysis. The processing time, including the time the feedstock is in the reactor and until the product gases and vapors are quenched, is typically under two 16 seconds. The reaction takes place at atmospheric conditions at moderate temperatures. At the heart of the RTP™ technology is the unique ability to produce a consistent, light bio-oil, in high yields, from wood and other biomass in commercial operations. BIOMASS FEEDSTOCKS Ensyn processes both hardwoods and softwoods, and both white wood and bark. In addition, Ensyn's RTP™ processes bagasse and various additional (non-published) biomass feedstocks for the production of specific natural chemical products. YIELDS Commercial bio-oil yields average 75%. This is the liquid bio-oil yield. The balance is approximately 13% char and 12% combustible gas. These yields are by mass- weight, and are as a percentage of dried wood (approximately 8% moisture content). EXISTING FACILITIES AND EXPANSION PLANS Ensyn has four commercial RTP™ facilities currently in operation, three in Wisconsin and one in Ottawa, Ontario. These are currently the only fast pyrolysis plants in the world operating commercially. The largest of these processes 75 green tons per day of mixed hardwood wastes (i.e., equivalent to around 40 tons of dried wood going to the RTP™ unit). This RTP™ facility was built in Wisconsin by Ensyn in 1996, and has operated with a commercial availability of over 94%. Ensyn produces more than 800 17 tons of bio-oil per month in Wisconsin. In addition to the commercial facilities, Ensyn currently operates two research RTP™ facilities, both based in Ottawa. Ensyn has initiated engineering and construction of a new commercial 40 dry ton per day RTP™ unit, in addition to a new bio-oil processing facility. These expansions will allow Ensyn to meet commercial delivery commitments of a new polymer compound for a major US chemical company as well as to increase its deliveries of current commercial products for the food industry. This RTP™ facility in Wisconsin processes 70 green tons of wood residues per day. Ensyn's biomass facilities in Wisconsin produce over 800 tons of bio-oil per month. 18
