Rosemount man charged in $5.5 million Ponzi scheme
Charles Hays' investors thought they were going to earn big money playing the market, but it appears the Rosemount man never put that money toward much more than a very nice boat for himself.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Thursday charged Hays with taking more than $5.5 million from at least three individuals and a charitable foundation in what it describes as a Ponzi Scheme. According to the CFTC Hays spent $4 million of that money on a yacht.

Ok, maybe this isn't exactly an "engineering" question (or maybe it is?), but here's my problem: There are lots of ducts going into and out of my forced air furnace at home, and one set goes into a hole just big enough for the duct and then seems to head "up". The problem is that warm air comes out of this hole (around the duct) at a decent rate, and I'm afraid that some duct work has come undone somewhere behind the walls. I'm going to do some tracing back to see if I can find where that duct goes, and to determine if it's an air return duct or not, but even that will be tough.
Got any tips or ideas I can try? Finding the "leak" seems pretty tough too. I wish I had a long fiber optic camera head or something to stick in space or in the duct. (There are covered 1" holes from the duct cleaning we had done, so I could go in there.)
I've considered lowering a cheap web cam down a duct (or sticking it on a pole to look into spaces), but haven't progressed (or is it sunk?) to that level yet.
How about an angled mechanic's mirror and a 90 degree flashlight?
Hmm... good idea. The shaft turns up after about three feet, so it might be hard to see with a small mirror, but I have something that might work. Access to this area in the basement is a pain (in a crawl space, three or four feet of random stuff before the ducts do anything), so I might still try to get something going with a web cam or x10 on a stick. Better to start low-tech first though.
The best way (and the way professionals do it) is to blow some "smoke" in with a high pressure blower with all the vents closed and look along the pipe for plumes of smoke.
Imagine, a "mirror" can actually bend light to my will! My god! I was able to figure out more of the duct work but ended up really wanting to know what was going on behind a wall (the one with cold air blowing out the electric socket, adjacent to the fireplace). So, I removed the wall socket (which was hung on the drywall with some nifty no-screw brackets) and stuck a mirror and a flashlight in there. Sure enough, the disappearing duct reappeared behind the wall, in a 1' x 4' x room-height dead space that has quite a breeze blowing down it. Too bad I don't have an attic to go exporing in... my house is a contemporary design, which in my case means lots of small, unexplained dead spaces near the roof line. Now I'm wondering if I should stuff insulation into that dead space, or if I should try to find the root-cause of the air flow. Root-cause might mean cutting into a wall, and I don't think that'll fly at my house. ("Oh, I hung that picture up there last weekend... and no, I can't move it.") Of course, I have no idea how to fill a space like that with insulation when the only access I have is the size of a wall outlet!
First of all find out if the air is blowing out or sucking in. No offense but having been in the HVAC field I have had people call with a problem of air blowing out of one place or another and shown them, by use of a match, that it was actually doing the opposite.
As for the wall outlet I would say it is just outside air being blown in due to poor insulation.
The duct work is another matter. It should be fairly easy to see if it is supply or return.Does the duct originate at the bottom of the furnace ( or for a horizontal unit, the far end from the vent pipe) all by itself or is it going to the top of the unit with all of the other ducts?If it goes to the bottom it,or the side farthest from the vent pipe, it is return. If the duct is supply then you may still be looking at the problem of outside air being blown in along the supply duct and being heated as a result. again it may be a question of poor insulation. If it is a return duct then check and see if the air is being blown in or sucked out with smoke or CAREFULLY with a match ( I would prefer if you use smoke or a light powder).
Your problem will likely still be poor insulation in anyn case. GOOD LUCK.

Air Jordan 1 Low "Neutral Grey" – U.S. Release Date by Patrick Johnson 3 Comments
March 24, 2014 BY Brendan Dunne / 8
Is it just us, or is the Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau on the underrated side at the moment? The shoe has so far stuck with very clean colorways, usually of the tonal variety. Coming soon is this anthracite and pure platinum version that again combines suede and leather across the upper and features those signature extra perforations across the mid panel. There's an on-feet shot and then there's a straight profile, so get a look at both of them and then tell us in the comments if this new Air Jordan 1 is a pair tickles your fancy.

Only problem was ActiveSync 3.7.1 didn't recognize partnership & would only connect as a Guest after the RSU. :? The fix: uninstall ActiveSync, restart Windows, reinstall ActiveSync and it detects new hardware & starts the create partnership wizard. Okay now.
Some GPRS stats after the RSU 6.24.00 install:
o I live in Austin, TX USA & I tested the internet connection via www.texan.net/speed.htm:
3:35pm CST 37.1Kbps
3:40pm CST 31.6Kbps
Clear IE History & Temp files
3:45pm CST 68Kbps
Held an incoming call, GPRS held, took call & resume testing - all as published. Clear History & Cookies again
3:55pm CST 51Kbps
Are these GPRS traffic numbers typical? Good ... high ... low?
Hope this helps y'all. 8)

NBA Feet: Kevin Durant Showcases KD 7 "Aunt Pearl" by Patrick Johnson 4 Comments
April 19, 2014 BY Brendan Dunne / 1 c
There should be some special edition Nike KDs showing up soon for Kevin Durant, as the man is officially the latest NBA Scoring Champion and is feeling like a lock for the MVP this year as well. While we wait on those though, let's have a look at this mysterious PE pair that's being touted by an entourage member. The shoes feature a black and red colorway, a little bit of a speckle/splatter look, and a unique logo hit on the tongue that's just a bit too fuzzy to make out in the shots. See the shoes below and give us your thoughts on this KD 6 creation.

ATD: Samsung could have licensed Apple patents in 2010
Sitting through a patent trial day after day is a tough assignment for AllThingsD's Ina Fried, as today's technical testimony led the judge to inquire of the jury if anyone needed caffeine. But the flip side of the eyelid-drooping legal process is the occasional scoop. Tonight ATD reports that Samsung had an opportunity to license Apple patents at a per-device fee way back in 2010.
Apple executives had told Samsung brass that the Korean company's phones and tablets were infringing Apple IP in the summer of 2010. Keeping in mind that Samsung was (and remains) a key Apple parts supplier, the US company apparently swallowed hard and made an offer to cross-license relevant patents in October 2010. "Samsung chose to embrace and imitate Apple's iPhone archetype," reads Apple's presentation to Samsung. "Apple would have preferred that Samsung request a license to do this in advance. Because Samsung is a strategic supplier to Apple, we are prepared to offer a royalty-bearing license for this category of device" (emphasis Apple's).
Samsung would have owed royalties of $30 on each affected phone and $40 per tablet (dipping to $30 per over 2 years), with some steep discount options. Samsung's entire line of touchscreen phones would have come under the proposed agreement, including Symbian and Bada phones in addition to Android-based units. Apple estimated the total 2010 license payments at US$250 million, noting that "[these] figures pale in comparison to Apple-Samsung's balance-of-trade."
You can read the whole deck here, and it's fascinating. Given the high costs of litigation, expert witnesses and adverse publicity from the ongoing dispute -- balanced out with the advantage of being free and clear, worldwide, from injunctions and patent challenges from Apple -- it all makes one believe that maybe Samsung should have thought longer and harder about taking the deal. (For a giggle, check out slide 17 -- as Mark Gurman points out, Apple's "iPhone 4" looks a lot like it's showing the screen of an original iPhone instead...)

I come from Switzerland - I am a professional advertising and fashion photographer. For 15 years I buy old houses and renovate them. I love historical Archithektur - sports - travel - you get to know people and their culture - I enjoy cooking - love the external cuisine and much more ...
Alexander has completed online and offline ID verification.
Es war alles wunderbar vorbereitet, Alex hatte sich sogar angeboten, mich beim ersten Mal abzuholen, Unterkunft ist exakt beschrieben worden, ich werde dort für die Zeit meines schweizerischen Arbeitseinsatzes für ca. 2 - 3 Monate dort bleiben, Küche, Wohn- und Esszimmer stehen zur Mitbenutzung frei... das Tollste ist der Jura-Kaffee-Vollautomat- und einmal in der Woche ein Kino-Abend mit den Mitbewohner inkl. Popcorn
We had a great time in Alexander's home. You should have a car to stay there. The internet doesn't work fast, you are not going to be able to watch videos or television. The TV upstairs is only for looking DVD's. Thank you Alex for having us. Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in Alexander's Haus. Du solltest ein Auto haben, wenn du dort wohnst. Das Internet ist nicht schnell, du wirst keine Videos oder TV schauen können. Der Fernseher im oberen Stock ist nur zum DVD schauen. Danke Alex für deine Gastfreundschaft. Teniamos un tiempo bueno en casa de Alexander. Deberias que tener un carro, si vives por alli. La red no es rapido, no vas a poder ver videos o tele. El tele arriba esta solamente para ver DVD. Gracias Alex por tu (website hidden) idöt eltöltünk az Alexanderhazajaban. Jobb ha kocsid van, ha ott (website hidden) internet nem gyors, nem fogsz tudni video vagy tv-t nezni. A fönti TVn csak DVD lehet nezni. Köszönöm Alex a vendégszeretet.
I want to say BIG Thanks to Alex for his Welcoming! I had amazing time in his house for 9 months! Just left yesterday and already miss that nice place! It has good location in quite & beautiful area! In house everything is 100% ready for good & full life! Clean & nice! Alex is very nice & kind person!!! I really enjoyed time at his place with him!!! THANK YOU Soooo much!
This is our second time staying with Alex. For this trip, we stayed in the upstairs room, which has its own bathroom and small sitting area and so makes for a very comfortable "home-away-from-home". Everything we needed was provided for and we were always greeted with a friendly hello when Alex was around. We can't fault the hospitality, comfort and convenience of Alex's place and would definitely stay with him again!
I have been at Alex's home for about 8 weeks and I had a great time. He is a really good host and I could enjoy the time. His house is located at country side but you are in minutes in town and at the train station or highway. I can recommend this place and the room.
The room we stayed in was spacious, clean, had a nice view, and the house is very convenient located for access to Zürich either by train or by car. We did not see a lot of Alex as he was away with work, but we were well looked after. Would happily recommend him to future guests! We wish Alex all the best! Vielen danke!
Thank you that you are a guest in my apartment . I was pleased to help you with your vacation. Enjoy your emotions and successes! :))
Alexander totalmente recomendable! Si vuelves a Tenerife, seriamos muy contentos de tener tu como huésped.
Thank you for your stay.
Fue genial hospedar a Alexander. Una persona simpática y educada que dejó el piso muy ordenado y limpio a su partida. Muchas gracias. It was great to host Alexander. He is very friendly and polite and left the apartment very tidy and clean. Many thanks.
Alexandr was a good guest. This is a very intelligent and polite man. Despite the particular trip, we were able to agree about everything, and it was easy to find a solution. Communication was great. In addition he left the place in order. I would happily recommend him to everyone!
Alex is a really nice guy. It was great to have him here. We had a lot of fun together. Can't wait till the next time!
Great client and pleasure having had him in Kiev! There was some confusion regarding departure ride transfer but we sorted it out. Would love to see him in Kiev in the future!
Alexander was (is) indeed a perfect guest. He was there right on time for the check-in, the previous email-communication with him was easy and smooth as well. He has got a friendly and easy-going personality. Also, left the flat perfectly clean and spotless. I can only recommend him:)
We enjoyed hosting Alex these few days he was visiting Lviv. Very easy going person and i would say a perfect guest! Looking forward to hosting you again, Alex!

Settlement unlikely on SafePlace house
City plans to offer raised limit of six people per house
The residents of SafePlace still are wrestling with their neighbors and City Hall, trying to determine if the home for recovering addicts is breaking the zoning codes at its Meldo Park address.
City officials in March warned the 20 or so SafePlace residents that there were too many of them to legally live in a home zoned for a single family.
Yvonne Haag, Neighborhood Services Department director, planned to take the case to municipal court, but the residents stalled that action by suing the city in federal court. They believe that, as recovering addicts, they have the right to use the house under the Fair Housing Amendment and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The city decided to wait until Monday to take SafePlace to municipal court, giving its lawyers more time to look into the matter. It's not clear, at this point, how the two cases in separate courts will affect each other.
The City Council went into closed session Tuesday to discuss its legal options, and other Meldo Park residents used the circumstance as an opportunity to express their opinions during open session.
"We bought (homes) in a single-family-residence neighborhood," said Tim Braly, speaking on behalf of the 14 Meldo Park residents in attendance. "I think this has directly affected the neighbors within 200 feet."
Assistant City Attorney Gary Smith said U.S. District Judge Hayden Head asked the SafePlace and the city to try to settle the matter by compromising on the number of unrelated adults allowed to live in a single-family home. The city plans to offer to raise the limit to six, up from four, but doesn't expect the SafePlace residents to be satisfied with that.
Curtis Dyer, SafePlace's lawyer, confirmed that belief.
"They're a long way from home," he said. "That's not really the issue as we see it."

"More than half a century ago, Fidel decreed the elimination of racism," said Leonardo Calvo Cardenas. But "this just made the problem deeper and more complex."
Calvo Cardenas is an Afro-Cuban – a group that makes up roughly half of Cuba's population but that is greatly under-represented in its political leadership, media and nascent business class. Calvo Cardenas hasn't always been on the outside looking in. "I was the director of the Lenin Museum," he told me during a visit to Washington this month.
But Calvo Cardenas' days in the Lenin stacks came to an abrupt end in 1991, when he and his friend Manuel Cuesta Morua, a historian at Havana's Casa de Africa Museum, lost their jobs after publicly criticizing the Castro regime's lack of democracy. The two went on to form a democratic socialist organization that the regime routinely harasses but, atypically, hasn't stamped out.
"We were the first alternative political movement that publicly opposed the U.S. embargo," said Cuesta Morua, who accompanied Calvo Crdenas. "That makes it more difficult for the Cuban government to give us the kind of treatment that other dissidents have gotten."
In 2008, the two joined other activists to form the Citizens Committee for Racial Integration. The organization's very name is an indictment of their beleaguered workers' paradise. "The Afro-Cuban population is stagnant, at the bottom of the social pyramid," Juan Antonio Madrazo Luna, the committee's national coordinator, said. As in virtually every other nation in the Western hemisphere, Calvo Cardenas added, "Cuba has traditionally had a racially stratified workforce. And despite the egalitarian rhetoric of the government, African descendants remain excluded from the most promising jobs."
None of the committee representatives accused the Castros of harboring racial bias. The problem that the Castros and the Communist Party have with the committee is that an independent movement for racial equality is a living, breathing refutation of the idea that, after more than 50 years in power, communism has delivered equality. Another problem for the party is that any independent movement is inherently not under its control. For Afro-Cubans, the road to equality is blocked.
In recent years, Cuba's economic travails have made the nation's racial rifts more visible. Still, "the government hasn't waged a public anti-racism campaign," Madrazo said, as doing so would have required acknowledging the persistence of racism under Cuban communism. So the Afro-Cuban activists formed the committee themselves.
In a more repressive period, of course, the committee's leaders would be languishing in jail and its activities would be conducted underground, if at all. Today, the Communists are encouraging a modest wave of small-scale entrepreneurialism, though a movement to a more market-oriented economy is no guarantee of democratization, as the examples of the Soviet Union in the 1920s and China today make abundantly clear. Nonetheless, a little political space not occupied by the party has opened up in Cuba, and the committee is one of a handful of groups that, not without risk, seek to expand it.
"When we hold public forums at the community level, we're often arrested," said Cuesta Morua. "But then they let us go. The tactics of repression have changed. Long prison sentences didn't weaken the human rights movement; they strengthened it."
The committee leaders entertain no illusions that the regime's fall and the institution of a democratic government would in themselves eliminate Cuba's racial stratification.
Nevertheless, the committee leaders are emphatic that Cuba can't become more egalitarian until it becomes radically more democratic. Cuesta Morua marveled that there are still some in the American left who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. or identify with him today yet support a Cuban regime.
"We have a message for the American left, especially the African-American left," he said. "There are forgotten Cubans, invisible Cubans, many of them Afro-Cubans, many of them not. They do not live in the utopia that some Americans still imagine. They live in Cuba."

Being the son of Joe Montana must be a tough draw. However, Nate Montana isn't giving up on his dream of making it into the NFL. Montana worked out at the super regional combine that took place at Cowboys Stadium on Monday. The legendary quarterback's son is looking to make the unlikely jump from Division II to the NFL. Unfortunately, NFL.com's analyst Bucky Brooks called the younger Montana a "longshot" to make the NFL, saying he has "difficulty making pro throws." "He's a great kid, his measurables are fine, but in terms of playing at the next level, his performance here was not very good," added Brooks. Montana had a tumultuous college career where he failed to climb the depth chart at his father's alma mater: Notre Dame. However, the 23-year-old did finish his career strong at Division II West Virginia Wesleyan. Montana led the conference with 19 touchdown passes and almost 2,500 passing yards.

Kicker's death likely an accident
Published: Monday, January 8, 2007 at 2:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 8, 2007 at 6:35 a.m.
LOS ANGELES -- Foul play probably was not a factor in the death of Southern California kicker Mario Danelo, whose body was found about 120 feet down a rocky cliff, police said Sunday.
"It was fairly apparent that this was either an accident or suicide," said Lt. Paul Vernon.
Danelo's brother said Sunday that "it was an unfortunate accident."
"He was a good kid," Joey Danelo said during a phone interview with The Associated Press. "There was not a person I know that didn't like him."
Investigators were examining evidence recovered after Danelo's body was found Saturday afternoon near Point Fermin lighthouse in the city's San Pedro section.
While police have not completely ruled out foul play, Vernon said "there didn't appear to be a crime involved." An autopsy could be performed as early as today, coroner's officials said.
Someone flying a remote-control airplane noticed something at the bottom of the cliff Saturday and a friend hiked down to the beach and discovered the body, police officials said.
Investigators were looking into whether Danelo was out with friends Friday night. He was last seen around midnight, authorities said.
A makeshift memorial was placed near the top of the steep cliff where Danelo fell. A flag bearing the USC logo was spread out, surrounded by flowers and candles and a message reading "Rest in Peace Danelo" spray-painted on the ground.
Nearby, a sign warned: "Danger Do Not Enter Unstable and Slippery Surfaces Steep Drops."
Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said investigators did not find a surf board, scuba-diving tanks or anything else to indicate Danelo might have been down there for any of the recreational activities common to the area.
Humphrey said over the years a handful of people had fallen from the cliff.
"It's entirely possible that he fell," Humphrey said.
Danelo, the 21-year-old son of former NFL kicker Joe Danelo, made 15 of 16 field goals this season and led the Trojans in scoring with 89 points. The junior made two field goals in the Rose Bowl on Monday to help USC beat Michigan 32-18.
FSU: Withdraws offer to LSU assistant coach
TALLAHASSEE -- After several days of negotiations, Florida State officials decided late Saturday to withdraw their offer to Louisiana State assistant coach Jimbo Fisher to become the Seminoles' offensive coordinator.
"Florida State will move forward to pursue other options among a number of outstanding coaches who want to share in FSU's traditions and values," coach Bobby Bowden said in a statement released by the university. "Coach Fisher will be a benefit to whatever organization he ends up with and we will secure the best coach available to lead our offense."
The new offensive coordinator will replace Jeff Bowden, who resigned under pressure in November. He is the youngest son of Bobby Bowden.
While Bowden is still searching for a new offensive coordinator he did name two new assistants earlier this week in his overhaul of the offensive staff.
S. CAROLINA: TD leader Rice to declare for NFL draft
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Sophomore Sidney Rice, South Carolina's career leader in touchdown receptions, is giving up his final two seasons to enter the NFL draft.
Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier confirmed through a spokesman Sunday that Rice would go pro.
Spurrier was "disappointed and wished (Rice) would've stayed around another year," spokesman Steve Fink said.
In two seasons, Rice caught 23 TDs to set the school's career mark. With 1,090 yards receiving this year, Rice became the first South Carolina wideout to break the 1,000-yard mark twice in his career.
The only other 1,000-yard season in Gamecock history was by former Green Bay Packers star Sterling Sharpe.
Rice had 11 100-yard games, also a school career record.
He caught 72 passes this year and leaves sixth all-time on the school list with 142 receptions.
Underclassmen had until Jan. 15 to declare for the draft. Rice has until Jan. 20 to withdraw his name from consideration and return to school.
MINNESOTA: Much rides on football coaching hire
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- The search for a new football coach at the University of Minnesota had barely been launched last week when the college landscape was shaken: The University of Alabama had lured Nick Saban from the NFL's Miami Dolphins with an eight-year, $4 million-a-year contract. He became college football's first $4 million man, the latest financial milestone in an era of rapidly escalating salaries.
University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks has promised that money will not be a deterrent in hiring a new coach, despite owing fired coaches Glen Mason in football and Dan Monson in men's basketball about $3.6 million in buyout clauses. In addition, $40 million in new funding for a campus stadium was approved by the Board of Regents last week.
The football coaching search will be one of the most critical undertaken by the university's athletic department, which even without the Mason-Monson buyouts requires money from central administration to balance its annual budget. University officials have long pointed to football as the best source for revenue growth if the school can put a contending Big Ten team on the field.
University Athletic Director Joel Maturi said Friday that Saban's contract would "have a ripple effect" on coaching salaries nationally, but he predicted the immediate impact would be felt only among elite coaches.
"Other coaches who have competed in or won a national championship will command a similar contract," Maturi said. "I do not believe that the Saban contract will have a direct effect on our search. At Minnesota, we will pay a competitive salary."
Translation: Minnesota is not Alabama. The likelihood is that Minnesota will focus on assistant coaches at major colleges, or mid-level or lower head coaches.
Finding the right hire in that pool of candidates is an inexact science. What finding the right candidate can mean to a school is more certain.
A winning team would generate more attendance and ticket revenue and provide a boost for fund raising, which is also more critical than ever.
The university is in the midst of a fund-raising drive for the new stadium that still requires $36 million in private donations.
Coaches' salaries coming under scrutiny
NCAA President Myles Brand said at a seminar last month that coaches' contracts would be the most important story to follow in 2007.
And Congress is currently considering whether college athletics deserves to keep its tax-exempt status, given the huge money that bigger schools glean off athletics. Nick's Saban's Alabama contract provides more evidence that college athletics is big business.
A 2006 poll by the Knight Commission revealed that 76 percent of Americans believe that coaches' salaries should be similar to other college and university senior officials.
The reality is that the top-paid coaches earn several times what university presidents are paid.
Athletic officials say that the salaries are largely paid for by increased television and postseason money in football and basketball, and that the new contracts are merely a reflection of the marketplace. But it is that spiral that worries many college administrators.
"I think it underscores the power of influences on the campus that are external," SMU President R. Gerald Turner of the Knight Commission said. "It makes it very difficult on presidents and others associated with the institution when there's that kind of money involved."

Lip Service
A fascinating aspect of reading fiction is that, sometimes despite the best efforts of the author, every reader must have a different mental image of each character — most likely a synthesis of their own experience and from triggers picked … Continue reading

It's a paradox that characters in fiction tend, naturally, to be figments of the author's imagination but also have to be real and credible enough for the reader to maintain the suspension of their disbelief. Of course authors piece together … Continue reading

The July issue of Pediatrics reports convincing evidence (from an investigation of twins growing up in different environments) that up to 80% of the variation in body fat between children is genetic and not due to diet or exercise.
Obese kids often don't eat more or exercise less than their thin peers. It's not their fault!
Still, to trim down the best bets are less TV and more time outdoors (getting kids moving in active play), and less junk foods and more whole foods in the diet. They'll need more effort to achieve the same results.
Sometimes life just isn't fair!

Yup, read your post earlier. I thought the Poland situation is more damaging to George Bush than the Australia election. In addition to Iraq, the Poland PM will most likely prevent Bush from deploying missle defense system in Poland. .

I want to bottle some root beer this weekend...I have several different varieties of root beer extract...wondering what people add outside of water, yeast and sugar to jazz these up any...
Vanilla, Honey, Molasses really anything that you desire Dave
Sassafras tea concentrate, vanilla extract, lemon juice... Here's a recipe I put together recently I like. 4.5 lbs sugar 1/4 cup of lemon juice 1 lb lactose 1/4 cup vanilla extract 2 oz root beer concentrate 6 oz sassafras concentrate, it isn't that concentrated Water Sugar, lemon juice and a little water in a pan. Get a couple of quarts of water ready. Cook sugar in the pan until it's medium caramel. Add the 2 quarts water. Fully dissolve sugar. Add lactose, fully dissolve. Add vanilla, root beer concentrate, and sassafras concentrate. Mix thoroughly. Add to keg. Add water to 5 gallon volume in the keg.
i like adding treacle.
I've got some heavy toast oak chips soaking in Sailor Jerry's with a vanilla bean & some cocoa nibs. gonna add the chips & nibs in a bag to the keg or root beer and put more oak chips in the jar for a brown ale or maybe a porter recipe down the road.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?

Euro Rises After Draghi Speech
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ The euro rose against the dollar Thursday after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi indicated that an interest rate cut for the region is not coming soon.
The euro rose to $1.3104 in late trading Thursday from $1.2994 late Wednesday.
Draghi, at a press conference Thursday, urged indebted European governments to move beyond spending cuts and tax hikes and introduce reforms that would boost growth and cut unemployment. Draghi said he still expects a gradual recovery in the second half of the year.
On Friday, investors will be watching February's employment report to see if the U.S. job market is improving.
The dollar fell to 0.9427 Swiss franc from 0.9479 Swiss franc from 1.0289 Canadian dollar from 1.0311 Canadian dollar. The dollar rose to 94.85 Japanese yen from 94.06 Japanese yen. The British pound fell to $1.5018 from $1.5039.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Delicious March 4, 2015 Sampled this is a great product. its always a nice treat to get a treat like this chocolate bar in your box. 5
Yummo February 18, 2015 Sampled Very tasty. Nice to get a little something that I can find at the store. 5
YUM February 10, 2015 Sampled The toffee crunch is officially my favorite flavor of Ghirardelli chocolate. Super decadent and a great discovery in my box. I wish it wasn't so hard to find! 5
So good!! February 8, 2015 Sampled I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but this was great! Just the perfect amount of chocolate. I would definitely recommend to anyone! 5
YUM! January 19, 2015 Sampled I hadn't heard of this flavor of Ghiradelli before, and I haven't been able to find it since! I'm so disappointed I can't find it, because it was absolutely delicious! I loved the crunch of the toffee, and the silkiness that all Ghiradelli chocolates have! 5
chocolate December 30, 2015 Sampled this is the best chocolate ever. it melts in my mouth and i love the taste and crunch i would most definitely buy this. 5
Holy yum!!! November 23, 2014 Sampled This chocolate is my fav, but the flavor of this one was one I had not tried before! It was totally delish and has become a new favorite! I just wish I could find it more! 5
So good November 22, 2014 Sampled I always like getting snack samples, and Ghirardelli is always consistently delicious, so I especially enjoyed receiving my mint cookie sample. 5
Nom nom November 8, 2014 Sampled This was delicious. I would buy it again. Good for chocolate lovers, as it is very high quality. It takes smooth and doesn't have that granular taste from over sugared chocolate bars. 5
Really great chocolate November 8, 2014 Sampled So...my German husband absolutely declines any offer of American chocolate, unless it's Ghirardelli. The first time he had it was in SanFran, and he's been a fan ever since. It's really smooth, creamy and tasty. Can't go wrong with any flavor! 5

Managing Risk With Less Prediction and More Discipline
NEW YORK (FMD Capital Management) -- This week investors received their first taste of real volatility since the mild June 2013 shakeup in the markets. Being that we have gone well over six months without a serious hiccup in stocks, it's certainly a jolt to the senses when the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) drops 2.59% in one week. It's easy to forget that we were accustomed to that kind of percentage gyration on an almost daily basis back in 2008.
From a psychological perspective, investors tend to get complacent when a string of consecutive weekly and monthly gains produces a feeling of euphoria. There is a tendency to forget that stocks can go up AND down when the recent bias has been trending higher for a prolonged period of time.
When volatility returns, I have noticed that many investors get jumpy and want to immediately start selling positions to reduce risk. This is likely an emotional reaction to protect gains or guard against further declines in their investments.
It is a natural reaction to believe that this could be the start of a larger correction that could lead to additional downside momentum. Especially considering the length of time that stocks have grinded higher without a significant test of their long-term moving averages. However, you should also consider that the long-term uptrend is still intact and this may just be a minor shake-up in the big picture.
No one knows for certain how this will play out, but there are steps you can take to protect your portfolio.
I am not one to immediately begin dumping my equity allocations in favor of cash or fixed-income as a response to emotional triggers. Instead, I prefer to manage the risk in my portfolio by setting stop losses that allow for moderate price fluctuations and firm exit points. That way I don't have to get too predictive by trying to call a market top and still have the peace of mind that my capital is protected in the event that stocks fall out of bed.
Now the placement of a stop loss is where things get interesting because each investment has its own unique characteristics that need to be accounted for. Typically higher beta positions need move room to move because they tend to have wider price fluctuations. By contrast, lower volatility names might need tighter stop losses due to different risk metrics.
