Limbaugh: Food Safety Advocates "going to Go After Oreos" But Might Have to Wait Until Obama Leaves Office
The Cancer Project's attempts to have hot dogs labeled with cancer warnings. Rush said that hot dogs are just the "starting point"; he named several other foods, like bacon and bologna, that he said they would go after next. But not Oreos, he said — at least not yet: LIMBAUGH: "And after that, they're going to go after Oreos. Might have to put that off 'til Obama's out of office, but they'll eventually go after Oreos."

Ok, like most of you I am going crazy waiting to find out what sex our baby is. I am only 10 weeks which means I will have to wait another 8 give or take to find out. So I researched this 90% accurate Intelligender and am trying it first thing in the morning. It can give us a hint although they recommend you don't go painting your nursery until your ultrasound confirms it. It costs about 35 dollars and its a pee test similar to the pregnancy test....slightly different. If anyone else is interested here is the website: www.intelligender.com Also, if anyone else has tried it and it turned out correct or incorrect please share. I watched the videos on the website page and it seems like it may be pretty good. Regardless, it's giving me something to look forward to amidst the nausea. Good luck!
I know someone who tried it and it was correct! She is having a boy just like the kit predicted!! Good luck!!
Worked for my 2 girls tried it last week and said boy we are hoping it is right. Also did the baking soda test today and that also said boy. Note intelligener is not accurate if you have PCOS as it will give you a false boy result.
I took it when I was pregnant with my DD and it was wrong.
Kaitlyn Elaine 10/08/2009
Madelyn Elizabeth 1/24/2012

I will try it when I get to 10 weeks or whatever # of weeks you should be. I read that you need to read the directions carefully b/c most people look don't follow them correctly. I guess looking at if from above they all look the same color, but you have to look at it from eye level.
Angie-Love my boys! Cameron '05, Carter '07, Chase '09, and Colby '12
4 of my friends have done this and it was right for all of them! I have heard so much good things about it from others too!! I am 90% convinced I am having a boy this time around so I would love to confirm it!! I am only 8.5 weeks along and it is killing me to wait another 1.5 weeks!! Can I just take it now?? Does 1.5 weeks really make that big of a difference?? ; )
I did it twice when pregnant with dd and it was wrong both times...but it was still fun to do! It seems to be about 50% accurate....
I am from the June board and I can tell you that it's not accurate. Â I followed the instructions perfectly and it said I am having a boy and I have had several ultrasounds since then clearly showing a girl. Â
We've had threads about this on our board and it's about 50% accurate, which you could get by just flipping a coin yourself.Â
Sorry. Â I wish it were more accurate. Â You can still do it for fun, but don't go buying anything for the baby because of the results.Â
These things are ridiculous! I've looked at the website and they don't even tell you how "scientifically" it's able to predict the sex of the baby from your urine. You're better off going to a fortune teller  Or peeing on some Draino.

Marriage licenses was
Marriage licenses was introduced in the United States at the end of the 19th century due to eugenics goals, such as a ban on mixed-race marriages and marriages of people with transmittable diseases. Lawmakers wanted to make sure the new generation was strong and white, Hitler went too far in the 30's, but remember, marriage licenses is a progressive invention. It is not part of the country since its foundation. Getting the govt out of the marriage license business today is very simple, because the states govt no longer provide for marriage licenses to accomplish eugenics, you just need to reform the tax code.

text: Anonymousjames toney is a fat ex ped user. Posted November 14, 2013 2:52 pmDMXJames Toney recently lost to a Australian Heavyweight Lucas "big Daddy" Browne What a sad sight Not a fan of the Saw movies, RapidFireJames To ney could be The Fish! If would've kept his weight down. It seems like he just eats whatever he wants now. Toney lay off the red meat dang! Posted November 14, 2013 11:20 amBoxing barlowDMX – Great analysis! I agree exactly with every prediction you made here. I think many would disagree with the ananlysis on Eubank but at his peak pre the Watson fight which destroyed his killer instinct Eubank had a way of beating everyone. His autobiography was a real eye opener and it highlighted how bad his nutritional regime was. He literally ate whatever he wanted until a few weeks before a fight and would then starve himself until he got himself down to the desired weight. When you see him at certain points in his career you could see how he struggled with his stamina and it was no doubt down to his awful weight managment. Technique wise though he was awsome and had the best chin I have ever seen. Posted November 14, 2013 6:14 amDMXCyber Hamster agree (well almost) A prime motivated Toney would overcome Hopkins as he did most obstacles when least expected, Toneys devastating knockout of Nunn tells you all you want to know Think Toneys old school skills take care of Benn quite easily Agree Eubank is a strange and challenging opponent for Toney If Eubanks gets a SD against Toney, then a prime RJ Jnr pot shots, attacks, winds up Toneys notorious short fuse, spins him, leans on him, sends Toney crazy angry. Toney v Calzaghe would have been a terrific battle abrakadabraToney @ 9/2 Second favourite, Posted November 13, 2013 6:40 pmSwedish Boxing FanI feel its a bit sad that James Toney have lacked so much dicipline in recent years and he was never a serius heavyweight material to begin with. If he could have been diciplined enough in his career to fight at least cruiserweight level and still be competive we could have had Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins vs. James "Lights-Out" Toney, a fight that could or should have happend years ago BUT Toney lacks that needed dicipline with keeping the weight down (he is 7-8 cm shorter then Hopkins and have a shorter reach as well). Also I heard enough trash talk from Toney on Hopkins that " I can whip B-Hop's but" or " I would KO him early" etc BUT even a better conditopn Toney against the older Hopkins, still Hopkins would out-box Toney for 12 rounds with Toney just barley can keep up with the faster and ring smarter Hopkins after the 6 rounds of first half boxing match. Posted November 13, 2013 6:25 pmJEScrooge — Toney has "earned" respect? How about failing two post-fight drug tests including one following a world heavyweight title bout. He's a disgrace to the sport. Had he been a multi-time failure in any other major sport he would be out of the game. Who knows how legit any of his other major fights were. Posted November 13, 2013 6:18 pmJESo James Toney is considered at fit participant in the UK event. I guess Jersey Joe Walcott wasn't available. Posted November 13, 2013 6:16 pmScroogeJames Toney was a masterful boxer and I think even at this late stage he can reach the final, he's forgotten more than this lot will ever learn! A true defensive genius, used the shoulder roll better than mayweather does now back in his prime. If you wanted to try and teach a kid how to fight, you show them toney at his best. Whatever state he's in now mentally, the man has earned and deserves respect and we as fans should give it to him. I for one wish him well. Posted November 13, 2013 4:50 pmAnonymousprizefighter is not for real fight fans,its for plastic ones. Posted November 13, 2013 4:21 pmjoeyjames toney roy jones drug cheats period. Posted November 13, 2013 4:18 pmFight AficionadoDon't have time to watch 11 minute video. What's Toney weigh? Posted November 13, 2013 4:02 pmOld HonkerHmmmmm.. "This has got to be the biggest joke Prizefighter has seen, how most of these guys are allowed to fight in it is beyond me." I agree.. Little last fought 17 months ago, when he lost in the opening stage of another Prizefighter "event." .. Unreal.. Posted November 13, 2013 3:40 pmmr gavLooking at what Toney has to fight against I give him a very good chance of winning. He hasnever been a threat at hw but he still is durable he went full 10 rounds with Lucas Browne who is much better competition then any of these guys have faced. I see Toney getting to final. Sprott has fought twice in prize fighter so he will do well but I'm excitiet about Larry o q big puncher with glass chin fun to watch. PriZe fighter brings out best and worse in fighters so just looking forward to it. My prediction sprott wins on points in final vs Toney Posted November 13, 2013 3:38 pmTJJAMES lights out TONEY was one of the greatest fighters of the 90's. He could do things that other boxers wished they could with the ease and swagger of someone who was way out in front of the pack and he still showed enough beating VASSILY JIROV up at Crusierweight and then EVANDER HOLYFIELD at Heavyweight. If he had retired after failing the drugs test after that match TONEY would easily have been mentioned alongside the best fighters of the last 40 odd years, but he has tarnished his own legend competing against guys who wouldn't have gone 6 rounds in his heyday and embarrassing himself in MMA competitions! I find it sad when truly gifted boxers carry on too long and can't keep away from that dangerous place that is the squared circle, risking death, brain damage and other health risks competing well past their sell- by dates! TONEY and ROY JONES were great fighters thru the 90's but both show no let up in continuing to box and ultimately being humbled by lesser beings. Still, let's pray he comes through it safely! Posted November 13, 2013 2:58 pmericBefore I pushed the button to see the weigh in, I said to myself, james tony leaves his shirt on and inwas right. I make wise cracks about toneys weight but he s an older guy and it is hard to stay in shape after 40 and I get that but he is also a pro boxer still. Its just one of those things we americans gota deal with these days. Hope toney does well. Posted November 13, 2013 2:55 pmHmmmmmThis has got to be the biggest joke Prizefighter has seen, how most of these guys are allowed to fight in it is beyond me, this is the line-up: James Toney – How is he even cleared to fight? He slurs badly now, obviously has no brain cells left, is a former shell of himself, this guy is going to end up being killed in the ring one of these days. He has no power at HW either. Tom Little – WHO? 4 fights and already 1 loss, has won no fights by KO….what chance does he have? Matt Legg – Again WHO? similar record to above Damian Wills – Respectful record, he is the top one or two that most likely will win this. Brian Minto – He's ok – maybe in the top 3 to win this Larry Olubamiwo – Never heard of him, Lost his last 2 (ok a TD on one) but hasn't fought anyone of note Michael Sprott – a host of losses, but may have a chance in this Jason Gavern – This guy has 15 losses (7 by KO) – he also had 7 losses in a row, what does this tell ya? Posted November 13, 2013 2:53 pmTurkish Boxing FanJames Toney is a living legend and one of the ATG's, and nothing/noone can change that. Posted November 13, 2013 2:22 pmSalmondogfishcatDude can barely speak now! Posted November 13, 2013 1:57 pmAnonymousso this is where all the big ex hw go. Posted November 13, 2013 1:07 pmSlim WhitmanToney is a legend, leg is just a leg. Posted November 13, 2013 1:03 pmwowHe is trying to promote and that is why he has taken on the bad guy roll. With that being said- He will soon be sitting in a nursing home in a wheelchair, being fed cream of wheat, wearing a diaper. He can hardly even talk at this point– I have absolutely no idea what he said doing that interview. There is nothing sadder that a man who has about two brain cells arguing a point. Posted November 13, 2013 12:12 pmGarbage Man (Is Back)Toney is done as a legitimate threat. He hasn't looked good in a while. But one thing that surprised me was him weighing in at 217. When was the last time he was that light? Posted November 13, 2013 11:59 amAnonymous?? Nobody wants to fight Toney, that is why he entered the contest. I do not know if Toney will win this thing, he is 45 and has not looked good in the ring in years Posted November 13, 2013 11:27 amHidalgoI actually thought the little old guy wearing the pink pants should have jumped on the scales. Posted November 13, 2013 11:21 amthe voice of reasonToney obviously feels that he is above this sort of contest but then the question remains – why did he enter? dont really come across as a very nice man does he? Anyway – this is a fascinating business! i fancy gavern or minto to succeed but you just never know. Cant wait Posted November 13, 2013 11:04 am |

"year after financial crisis' a new world order emerges"

WASHINGTON - One year after the near collapse of the global financial system, this much is clear: The financial world as we knew it is over, and something new is rising from its ashes.
Historians will look at September 2008 as a watershed for the U.S. economy.
On Sept. 7, the government seized mortgage titans Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Eight days later, investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, sparking a global financial panic that threatened to topple blue-chip financial institutions around the world. In the several months that followed, governments from Washington to Beijing responded with unprecedented intervention into financial markets and across their economies, seeking to stop the wreckage and stem the damage.

related story Finally, Americans are saving. For retailers, that's a disaster
* http://www2.fdic.gov/qbp/2009jun/qbp.pdf
* http://tinyurl.com/mollns
One year later, the easy-money system that financed the boom era from the 1980s until a year ago is smashed. Once-ravenous U.S. consumers are saving money and paying down debt. Banks are building reserves and hoarding cash. And governments are fashioning a new global financial order.
Congress and the Obama administration have lost faith in self-regulated markets. Together, they're writing the most sweeping new regulations over finance since the Great Depression. And in this ever-more-connected global economy, Washington is working with its partners through the G-20 group of nations to develop worldwide rules to govern finance.
"Our objective is to design an economic framework where we're going to have a more balanced pattern of growth globally, less reliant on a buildup of unsustainable borrowing ... and not just here, but around the world," said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
The first faint signs that the U.S. economy may be clawing its way back from the worst recession since the Great Depression are only now starting to appear, a year after the panic began. Similar indications are sprouting in Europe, China and Japan.
Still, economists concur that a quarter-century of economic growth fueled by cheap credit is over. Many analysts also think that an extended period of slow job growth and suppressed wage growth will keep consumers - and the businesses that sell to them - in the dumps for years.
"Those things are likely to be subpar for a long period of time," said Martin Regalia, the chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "I think it means that we probably see potential rates of growth that are in the 2 to 2.5 (percent) range, or maybe ... 1.8 to 1.9 (percent)." A growth rate of 3 percent to 3.5 percent is considered average.
The unemployment rate rose to 9.7 percent in August and is expected to peak above 10 percent in the months ahead. It's already there in at least 15 states. Regalia thinks that it could be five years before the U.S. economy generates enough jobs to overcome those lost and to employ the new workers entering the labor force.
All this is likely to keep consumers on the sidelines.
"I think this financial panic and Great Recession is an inflection point for the financial system and the economy," said Mark Zandi, the chief economist for forecaster Moody's Economy.com. "It means much less risk-taking, at least for a number of years to come - a decade or two. That will be evident in less credit and more costly credit. If you are a household or a business, it will cost you more, and it will be more difficult to get that credit."
The numbers bear him out. The Fed's most recent release of credit data showed that consumer credit decreased at an annual rate of 5.2 percent from April to June, after falling by a 3.6 percent annual rate from January to March. Revolving lines of credit, which include credit cards, fell by an annualized 8.9 percent in the first quarter, followed by an 8.2 percent drop in the second quarter.
That's a sea change. For much of the past two decades, strong U.S. growth has come largely through expanding credit. The global economy fed off this trend.
China became a manufacturing hub by selling attractively priced exports to U.S. consumers who were living beyond their means. China's Asian neighbors sent it components for final assembly; Africa and Latin America sold China their raw materials. All fed off U.S. consumers' bottomless appetite for more, bought on credit.
"That's over. Consumers can do their part - spend at a rate consistent with their income growth, but not much beyond that," Zandi said.
If U.S. consumers no longer drive the global economy, then consumers in big emerging economies such as China and Brazil will have to take up some of the slack. Trade among nations will take on greater importance.
In the emerging "new normal," U.S. companies will have to be more competitive. They must sell into big developing markets; yet as the recent Cash for Clunkers effort underscored, the competitive hurdles are high: Foreign-owned automakers, led by Toyota, reaped the most benefit from the U.S. tax breaks for new car purchases, not GM and Chrysler.
Need a loan? Tough luck: Many U.S. banks are in no condition to lend. Around 416 banks are now on a "problem list" and at risk of insolvency. Regulators already have shuttered 81 banks and thrifts this year.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. reported on Aug. 27 that rising loan losses are depleting bank capital. The ratio of bank reserves to bad loans was 63.5 percent from April to June, the lowest it's been since the savings-and-loan crisis in 1991.
For all that, the U.S. economy does seem to be rising off its sickbed. The latest manufacturing data for August point to a return to growth, and home sales are rising. Indeed, there are many encouraging signs emerging in the global economy.
It's all growth from a low starting point, however, and many economists think that there will be a lower baseline for U.S. and global growth if the new financial order means less risk-taking by lenders and less indebtedness by companies and consumers.
That seems evident now in the U.S. personal savings rate. It fell steadily from 9.59 percent in the 1970s to 2.68 percent in the easy-money era from 2000 to 2008; from 2005 to 2007, it averaged 1.83 percent.
Today, that trend is in reverse. From April to June, Americans' personal savings rate was 5 percent, and it could go higher if the unemployment rate keeps rising. Almost 15 million Americans are unemployed - and countless others are underemployed or uncertain about their job security, so they're spending less and saving more.
A few years ago, banks fell all over themselves to offer cheap home equity loans and lines of consumer credit. No more. Even billions in government bailout dollars to spur lending haven't changed that.
"The strategy that was stated at the beginning of the year - which is that you would sustain the banking system in order that it would resume lending - hasn't worked, and it isn't going to work," said James K. Galbraith, an economist at the University of Texas at Austin.
Over the course of 2008, the nation's five largest banks reduced their consumer loans by 79 percent, real estate loans by 66 percent and commercial loans by 19 percent, according to FDIC data. A wide range of credit measures, including recent FDIC data, show that lending remains depressed.
Why? The foundation of U.S. credit expansion for the past 20 years is in ruin. Since the 1980s, banks haven't kept loans on their balance sheets; instead, they sold them into a secondary market, where they were pooled for sale to investors as securities. The process, called securitization, fueled a rapid expansion of credit to consumers and businesses. By passing their loans on to investors, banks were freed to lend more.
Today, securitization is all but dead. Investors have little appetite for risky securities. Few buyers want a security based on pools of mortgages, car loans, student loans and the like.
"The basis of revival of the system along the line of what previously existed doesn't exist. The foundation that was supposed to be there for the revival (of the economy) ... got washed away," Galbraith said.
Unless and until securitization rebounds, it will be hard for banks to resume robust lending because they're stuck with loans on their books.
"We've just been scared," said Robert C. Pozen, the chairman of Boston-based MFS Investment Management. He thinks that the freeze in securitization reflects a lack of trust in Wall Street and its products and remains a huge obstacle to the resumption of lending that's vital to an economic recovery.
Enter the Federal Reserve. It now props up the secondary market for pooled loans that are vital to the functioning of the U.S. financial system. The Fed is lending money to investors who are willing to buy the safest pools of loans, called asset-backed securities.
Through Sept. 3, the Fed had funded purchases of $817.6 billion in mortgage-backed securities. These securities were pooled mostly by mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. In recent months, the Fed also has moved aggressively to lend for purchase of pools of other consumer-based loans.
Today, there's little private-sector demand for new loan-based securities; government is virtually the only game in town. That's why on Aug. 17, the Fed announced that it would extend its program to finance the purchase of pools of loans until mid-2010. That suggests there's still a long way to go before a functioning securitization market - the backbone of consumer lending - returns to a semblance of normalcy.

Zillow predicts Lower East Side home values will increase 0.9% next year, compared to a 0.5% decrease for Milwaukee as a whole.Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In Lower East Side, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold is 37.3% lower than in Milwaukee, and 49.3% greater than the national average. This lower local number could help Lower East Side home values rise more quickly than other regions in Milwaukee.

- Conference date: 8–12 July 2013
- Location: Sydney, Australia
The microstructure of granular materials is the main factor determining their macroscopic behaviour. We study systematically the statistical characteristics of volume elements (called quadrons) of microstructures of mono-and polydisperse planar disc packs granular and report a number of new results. The packs analysed were of different intergranular friction coefficients, μ, contained about 20,000 discs each and were brought to mechanical equilibrium under identical isotropic compression stresses from three different initial states: loose, intermediate and dense. Our findings are the following. (i) The rattlers volume fraction φr is not affected by the disc size distribution (DSD). (ii) Excluding the rattlers, we find that the relation between the packing fraction φ′ and the mean coordination number ̄z is independent of the initial state. Together with result (i), this allows us to separate the effects of the DSD and the initial state on the microstructure. (iii) We relate analytically ̄z, φ′ and the (normalised) mean quadron volume ̄ν′. (iv) Combining (iii) and a relation between ̄z and the mean cell order, ē, derived from Euler's topological relation, we show that (ii) is a result of the geometrical relation between ̄ν′ and ē. (v) The probability density function of the quadron volumes, normalised by ̄ν′, is universal for all the studied systems and it can be fit reasonably well by a Γ distribution.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Try a different email app and see if it FC. I use and love Mail Droid.
Also, if the file manager you were selecting to attach the file was taken out of the ROM that would cause the FC. I deleted stock file manager once and it would FC obviously when trying to select it to attach a file.
I tested attaching an .ogg file with Mail Droid. Using the stock file manager attached 'null'. Using Mail Droid's built in file manager attached the .ogg file.
Lol well 2 things kyndig
1. the pastebin files you sent me are set as private and i couldnt see them.
2. i tried the email app and you're right it force closes and i figured out why. The email app uses the original sammy file manager from stock kj6 so that's the force close.
Fix: re add the file manager from stock which you can get from lumin30's app repo link
thanks for finding that and Happy Friday everyone

AUSTIN, Texas — Fire calls are the norm for firefighters when it comes to emergency response. They often have to make split-second decisions and be ready for anything at a moment's notice. But no matter how much training firefighters go through, it's hard to be ready when they suddenly lose their sight fighting a fire.
"Vision impairment is a big problem in a lot of scenes," said firefighter Abram Barrera of the Austin Fire Department . "And we actually had an incident where that became an issue."
That topic came up often when firefighters met for a training session earlier this year.

A little monkey business ensued Monday in Basehor.
Shortly after 3 p.m. that day, the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office received a call from a Basehor resident who spotted a monkey perched on the front porch of the Brandt Road home where she was watching her grandchildren.
According to a sheriff's office report, the monkey returned to its owner's place of residence on Roger Road. Contact was made with the owner, Shannon Bartko, who said she possessed a permit for the monkey, but she was unable to produce this permit.
The sheriff's office is allowing Bartko time to find her permit or obtain a new one. The monkey was reclaimed by Bartko and returned to its cage.

It was an offer that John Weinrich simply couldn't refuse.The owner of NewPort Shores Restaurant in Port Washington was approached last summer by three local men who asked if they could pick out a barrel of Kentucky's finest bourbon for Weinrich and have it shipped back to Wisconsin."It was the middle of the summer, we had the money and I didn't have to go with, so I thought why not?" Weinrich said. "It was a win-win situation for us."The three men — Paul Bretl of Port Washington, Michael Hecker of Fredonia and Paul Livingston of Grafton — set out on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail to find a barrel that would fit Weinrich's palate."We went down for three days in September and went to a bunch of different distilleries," Bretl said. "We had been to Heaven Hill (Distilleries) before and we met a rep who made this all possible. Getting to try all these bourbons was kind of surreal."The group sampled six different types of bourbon from the Bardstown, Ky.-based Heaven Hill — which also makes brands like Evan Williams bourbon and Christian Brothers brandy — and settled on an Elijah Craig 12-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The bourbon has earned a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and has been twice awarded "Best of the Best" by Whisky Magazine."We all sort of had a mutual interest in going to these distilleries and saw a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff and what exactly goes into making a barrel of bourbon," Bretl said. "The three of us each have a fairly different palate and have different things we look for in a bourbon."The three friends couldn't bring the barrel back to Wisconsin right away. It has to go through a process of lowering the alcohol content before it can be shipped out of the state.The 50-gallon barrel — the equivalent of about three half-barrels — arrived in December, Weinrich said, and has been on sale at the restaurant since then.The barrel cost between $2,400-$2,500, he said."It was 105 proof when they were down there and it's about 94 proof now," Weinrich said. "We were able to get 96 bottles from the barrel and we've already sold more than 20 bottles in less than two months."A typical barrel will yield about 130 bottles, but the lower amount is a good thing for those tasting it."I was told that you usually get a lot more out of it. I'm glad we didn't because that means this one has a lot more going on," Weinrich said.A Feb. 27 bourbon tasting is planned at the Boerner Mercantile building in Port Washington.But that's not all the barrel will be used for. Weinrich sent the empty cask to 3 Sheeps Brewery in Sheboygan to make a bourbon beer that he hopes to have at the restaurant in June."I didn't realize how long it takes for the beer to be made," Weinrich said. "There's about a gallon of bourbon in the wood and the beer will mix in and taste awesome. So we'll plan a bourbon beer tasting when that is ready."Weinrich said some craft breweries like Sprecher and Goose Island make bourbon beer, but he believes it will be a unique taste and draw bourbon and beer aficionados from around the area to the restaurant.Bretl, Hecker and Livingston plan to go to Kentucky again next year to pick out another barrel to bring home. This year the trip coincided with the Kentucky State BBQ Festival in Danville, Ky., which they hope to attend again. "We definitely want to go back if it can work with our schedules," Bretl said. Weinrich hopes to join them."I told them 'I'd love to go with you guys next year.' Maybe I'll be able to sneak away," Weinrich said. "These young guys know a lot about this stuff and they get so into it that it's cool to see."

Betty White Is Still 'Golden' and Far From Retiring
Beginning with a stint on Al Jarvis' variety show 'Hollywood on Television' in 1949, White's dizzying resume spans six decades. Sixty years, people! She is known to most of us, depending on birth date and/or generation, as Happy Homemaker Sue Ann Nivens from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' and the naive and sweet-natured Rose Nylund from 'The Golden Girls.' But before her sitcom stardom, White appeared on numerous talk shows and daytime game shows, earning the title 'First Lady of Game Shows,' along with the first Emmy awarded to a woman for Outstanding Game Show Host in 1983.
"I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet," White has said of her career.
And despite her track record for playing sickeningly sweet, innocent types, the seasoned 88-year-old has a wry sense of humor that often catches people off-guard. Her SAG Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech being a prime example.
"I look out and see so many famous faces... I actually know many of you and I've worked with quite a few," she said. "Maybe had a couple. And you know who you are."
White recently told USA Today that she credits her dad with bringing out her naughty side/sense of humor.
"I think from sitting around the Sunday morning breakfast table with Mom and Dad. Dad was a traveling salesman, and he would bring his jokes home. He would say, 'Honey, you can take that joke to school, but I wouldn't take that one.' That's where the double-entendres came from. What you don't say is funnier than what you do. Now they let it all hang out. It's all single-entendre."
Speaking of entendres, White's favorite is a little quip about Robert Redford.
"My answer to the question 'What haven't you done in your career' is always Robert Redford," she told the paper. "I've never met him and I would be embarrassed if I did."
We imagine Redford would be more than happy to welcome an introduction. Who wouldn't be? Here's hoping we see a lot more of Betty White in the future, whether on the small screen or silver one. It's pretty clear that if White has her say, and she should, she's not going anywhere.
"I was only 88 [two weeks ago], so I have lots more stuff to do," she said. "Retirement isn't in my vocabulary."

Betty White is such an amazing actor. She played Sue Ann Niven so well, she had you believing she was nasty and manipulative, yet in her portrayal of Rose Nylan, you almost felt sorry for the airhead.
I remember watching her on "My Favorite Wife" when I was barely 6 years old, she had the entire family in stitches.
I also admire her work in animal welfare, more actors should take up that cause. Betty and Doris Day are champions in the animal world.
You go, girlfriend. - Sunday 31 JanuaryBy PeterHighest Rank Vote downVote upReport this
God Bless you, Betty. You've been a source of laughter and love since the cameras and microphones first discovered you, sixty years ago.

Maybe one day you will visit our planet and you will "choke on those words". She is the "one in a million" that can keep us laughing and still be serious when needed. - Sunday 31 JanuaryBy paulaHighest Rank Vote downVote upReport this
I, as a teenager visiting my dad's family in NY, had the opportunity to meet Betty White. That was 45 years ago.
My aunt Martha worked in Elman's Bookstore in Chappaqua. Betty White and her husband, Allen Luden, came in when they were at home there. I just happened to be there when Ms. White and he were there and my aunt introduced me to her. (She didn't introduce me to him as he didn't like to be disturbed when he was there.)
What a gracious lady! She felt badly that she did not have make-up on when she met me!!! She had been working in her garden right before they came in.
I thought she was wonderful. She was so kind. She wished she had looked better to meet me. (She was beautiful without make-up.)
I have always thought she was very deserving of her success. In this day and age way too many actors and actresses are way to full of themselves, I appreciate the ones who are just good people. She is one of them. Very genuine.
I hope she is around for a long, long time. - Sunday 31 JanuaryBy JaguarDriverHighest Rank Vote downVote upReport this
Betty at any age is a class act. I have a autographed picture of her hanging on my "Hollywood wall" in my house, right along
side Bea Arthur, and several others. She was a scream as Suann Niven on Mary Tyler Moore Show and the same for Rose. Keep working Betty....it keeps up laughing!
