The Westminster Fire Department was called to an icy lake yesterday because a pet was in trouble. The crew from Station #1 donned ice rescue gear and were able to reach the dog and bring it to safety.
Fire rescue crews ask dog owners to keep their pets on a leash, but if a dog gets into trouble, call 911. Don't attempt a rescue by yourself.

Re: Kimiko Date and Naoko Sawamatsu
Hi Guys!
Watching today Kimiko's excellent win against the very nearvy and wierd Safina, came to my mind when did I see last Date play? My answer is Wimby SF vs. Steffi 1996. (Back in those days Eurosport hardly showed women's tennis, and I didn't have other satellite, so I missed her San Diego win and her farewell at Masters.)
I did not relly liked her in her first career, I was extremely pissed off beating Mary at that Wimbledon QF, I'd die to see a Graf-Pierce match on the Centre Court, and of course she scored that win against my beloved Gaby at Lipton 95 from 1-6 1-5... denying a Graf-Sabatini final.
But watcher her today was very unique, played so clam and strait, looked so nice and easy, was really great to watch, made fool with her normal shot from Safina many times, brought back the feeling of the good old days. (And her name already was on the very same draw where was Chris Evert's.
She also changed a lot, I remember she didn't speak English at all, and always was so emotionless, but she showed today everything.
So my question for you: When did you see Kimiko play last before today's match?

From 1938 to 1978, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), strictly regulated airline fares and market entry by air carriers. These regulatory policies had the effect of constraining market efficiencies while spurring technological innovation, because airlines were forced to compete on the basis of technology as opposed to cost. After World War II, spin-offs from military R&D and transfers to the private sector from military-based research and procurement had a decisive effect on the commercial sector. Manufacturers such as Boeing and General Electric that worked in both the military and the civilian jet-aircraft and jet-engine markets were able to leverage the cost of production and technology development across both areas.
NACA's efforts in technology diffusion and encouraging the adoption of new technology through dissemination of technical documents were successful in spurring technological advances in the United States. NACA (and later NASA) also encouraged companies of comparable technical ability to share R&D findings in large joint projects.34 In addition to support for R&D and the adoption of new, innovative technologies in the civil sector, NACA and NASA played a key role in support of the infrastructure underlying the commercial aviation industry.
There are several important lessons to be gained from the government's involvement in support of the commercial aircraft industry. First, NACA concentrated on areas of pre-commercial, applied R&D with broad application throughout the industry. Private companies then took the research results and specialized in technology commercialization. Program managers at NACA facilities were not involved in specific decisions on product applications. NACA generally limited its support to "generic, enabling technologies" from which current or future product design programs would benefit.
Second, NACA's research efforts were unstructured and minimized over-lapping responsibilities, in contrast to many current federal programs. Research projects were initiated after informal approval from staff supervisors or NACA's executive committee.35 The organization's relatively small size and single location contributed to close staff collaboration. NACA was also able to attract high-quality scientific and engineering talent. Staff was not restricted to narrow technical specialties, which promoted the wide transfer of technical information and expertise.
The government's attempt to develop a synthetic fuels industry in the late 1970s and early 1980s is a case study of unsuccessful federal involvement in technology development. In 1980, Congress established the Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), a quasi-independent corporation, to develop large-scale projects in coal and shale liquefaction and gasification.36 Most

UPDATED: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 - 11:44am
Longview, TX — Michael Williams waited at a Longview Transit bus stop Monday afternoon with two bags and a backpack full of groceries. Williams, who cannot drive, was waiting for the bus to take him back to his home near an area labeled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a food desert.
To get to the grocery store, he catches a ride from a neighbor or family member, or rides the city bus to the stop on High Street in front of Super 1 Foods. Once a month he buys an all-day pass and makes as many trips as needed to buy all of his groceries.
Williams lives near one of three local tracts identified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service as food deserts. Three are in Gregg County, one in Rusk County.

What lousy choices. Portuguese linguiça with anchovies would have been much better…
Nothin' like lead heavy pizza on a tender tummy!

I like chicken noodle soup when my tummy is crummy.
Jeri reads? willingly!!

Only scandal rags (to learn her chosen trade) or glamour mags (so she can learn how to bait the hook).
How about a bit of plain oatmeal, eaten slowly?
Pickled herring pizza made with limburger cheese?
I went to the Chicago auto show yesterday. The food choices there were guaranteed to make one obese. I drank lemonade. -
I swear – I will never, ever understand pineapple on pizza.
Ham and pineapple is my favourite pizza. But to each their own.
Yes, this is the false recovery. You feel better up until you get close to eating. Then "urp!"
With Canadian bacon it's delicious. I didn't think I'd like it until my favorite sister talked me into trying it just once. My Italian in-laws thought it was sacrilegious when my husband & I ordered it on our half of a pizza, until they tasted it. You should try it sometime.
The B.R.A.T. diet is fairly reliable…Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast.
It really is good. Something about the sweetness of the pineapple and the saltiness of the canadian bacon with the mozzarella just blends well. Don't knock it 'tll you've tried a slice! We have a take and bake called Papa Murphys that calls theirs "Hawaiian" and it's divine!

US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
The streaking Portland Trail Blazers are on the verge of their best start in 23 years, though they'll have to pull out a rare victory in Phoenix to get there.
The Blazers look to extend their winning streak to 12 on Wednesday night when they go for their fifth win in 26 regular-season road games against the Suns.
After winning 33 games last season, Portland (13-2) continued its longest run since a 13-game winning streak Dec. 3-30, 2007, with a 102-91 victory over visiting New York on Monday.
The Blazers are seeking their best start since opening the 1990-91 campaign with a 19-1 record.
"We're playing hard and we're playing together and it just feels like we're playing the right way," said guard Wesley Matthews, who had 17 points against the Knicks. "When you do that, the ball seems to find you."
Although they've won by double digits six times during the streak, the Blazers needed overtime to escape with a 118-110 win in Toronto on Nov. 17 before rallying from a 21-point deficit in Friday's 98-95 victory over visiting Chicago.
They also were down eight points with eight minutes remaining before coming back to edge Phoenix 90-89 on a Damian Lillard layup with 6.5 seconds left Nov. 13. Lillard had scored 26.3 per game over four meetings before managing 11 on 4-of-13 shooting.
"This level of success is usually not very easy. But we've stayed consistent and we've stayed focused," said center Robin Lopez, who had 13 points and 15 rebounds against the Suns. "I think we've earned it."
Following consecutive wins to open a three-game trip, Phoenix (7-7) suffered a 107-92 defeat at Miami on Monday. Channing Frye led six players in double figures with 16 points for the Suns, who shot 39.8 percent en route to their fifth loss in seven games.
"We were playing pretty decently for a while," coach Jeff Hornacek said. "We just couldn't make any shots. The third game of a fourth night might have started to get us."
The Suns have dropped their last two at home following a 4-0 start, but they're looking to continue their dominance there against the Blazers. They're 21-4 at home in the series during the regular season since 2000-01, including five consecutive wins by an average of 17.4 points.
The Suns handed the Blazers one of their two losses with a 104-91 season-opening victory in Phoenix. Goran Dragic led the way with 26 points and nine assists to help Phoenix overcome a combined 60 points from Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge.
Dragic is playing well heading into this meeting, averaging 20.5 points and 8.8 assists in his last four games.
Eric Bledsoe, leading the Suns with 20.4 points per game, had 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the opener and scored a game-high 23 in Portland. Bledsoe, however, is expected to be a game-time decision after missing the last five with a sore left shin.
The Suns could have their hands full with Aldridge, who has totaled 48 points and 35 rebounds despite shooting 14 for 41 in his last two games.
The Blazers will get reserve guard Mo Williams back after he served a one-game suspension without pay for his role in a scuffle during Saturday's victory at Golden State.
Portland has dropped six of nine in this series overall.

Scott Rice spent 14 years languishing in the minors, hoping one day to experience the thrill of pitching on a major-league mound.
After two months with the Mets, he might want to experience it a little less.
Rice, a 31-year-old left-hander, entered Tuesday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds with a major-league-leading 25 relief appearances in his team's first 42 games. That puts him on a pace for an astronomical 96 games this season—a mark that would rank second in baseball history.
Though manager Terry Collins acknowledged that Rice's workload "is going to be a concern," the unfortunate realities of his team's bullpen make Rice an irreplaceable asset. The Mets lack another dependable lefty, forcing Collins to lean on Rice far more often than he would like.
This leaves Rice in an uncomfortable position: As a player still fighting for his major-league life, he understands the significance of staying available—even if that means pitching when perhaps he shouldn't.
"If my arm's feeling fine, I'm going to go out there and throw," said Rice, who started the day with a 3.05 earned-run average in 20 2/3 innings. "I'm going to be smart, and I know my body. I know how to take care of myself and prepare myself to throw every day."
Some pitchers seem capable of shouldering massive workloads with no repercussions. Mike Marshall, who set the record with 106 appearances in 1974, averaged almost 52 games a season during his 14-year career.
Most of the time, however, pitching that often in one season leads to grave consequences. Pedro Feliciano, for instance, averaged nearly 89 games a season with the Mets from 2008 through 2010—and hasn't pitched in the majors since.
Former reliever Jim Brower threw in 89 games for the San Francisco Giants in 2004 and never returned to his previous form, compiling a 7.31 ERA for the rest of his career. The huge usage sucked some of the life from his pitches.
"It took a toll, and it took a while to bounce back," said Brower, now the Double-A pitching coach in the Kansas City Royals organization. "It was definitely, 'Give me the ball, I'll do what I can.' I was going to go as hard as I can for as long as I can."
In the minor leagues, Rice never threw more than 58 games in one season. Even if the Mets start easing his workload, Rice will almost certainly surpass that number by a wide margin.
The onus falls on Collins and pitching coach Dan Warthen to keep Rice healthy and fresh, especially if he continues to pitch effectively. Though Rice says he has "an open-door policy," allowing him to tell Collins how he feels on a given day, he will rarely use it. Rookies—even rookies as old as Rice—do what the manager tells them to do.
Brower understands Rice's plight. He found himself in a similar situation during his career. As a fringe major-leaguer clinging to a job, his value stemmed from his willingness to never refuse the ball.
"You don't go to to the manager unless you're hurt. Tired is not hurt," Brower said. "I'll go as often as I can. It's your responsibility as an organization, as a coach, as a manager to take care of those arms."
Rice maintains the same gung-ho attitude, which makes it so tempting for Collins to turn to him so often. It doesn't help that Robert Carson, the Mets' other lefty reliever, allowed seven home runs in his first 11 innings this season.
To compensate, Rice said he limits his pitches in the bullpen, a skill he has mastered over the years. The Mets track how often their relievers warm up and factor that into how often they use them. Rice gets ready faster than most pitchers.
As a result, Rice feels prepared to throw 90 games this season if necessary. For his sake, the Mets might want to make sure that doesn't happen.
"Obviously I'm a rookie, but I've been playing baseball a long time," Rice said. "I think Dan and Terry trust that I understand my body enough that I'm going to know how to prepare myself every day."

The Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics has introduced two new master's degree programs in applied ethics to prepare students for real-world ethical dilemmas and situations.
The first program, applied ethics and the professions, will launch this fall and includes five concentrations: leadership, management and ethics; biomedical ethics; sustainability and environmental ethics; and ethics and emerging technologies. An additional concentration in pastoral care ethics and spirituality is awaiting approval.
Peter French, director of the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, said he is excited for the new program to begin, as ASU is the first university to have an applied ethics program that is spread over many areas of study.
"Each [part] is trying to focus on some area where ASU is taking a leadership role and bringing to light the ethical side," he said.
And the new master's programs are truly interdisciplinary, French said, as classes from many different programs, like the School of Public Affairs and the College of Law, will be brought together to form the degree.
"What we were able to do [was] look at what's out there already, in terms of courses that are offered, and then combine those courses with some other structural courses to provide master's-level training," French said.
The second program, the applied ethics and the professions executive concentration, will be introduced in fall 2010 and be administered completely online, French said.
The program will focus on the GRINN technologies — genomics, robotics, information technologies, neurosciences and nanotechnologies — at a management level. As these technologies are advancing across the world, French said the program will be more beneficial if it is directed online so students anywhere can participate.
"Where are all these technologies being developed? Well, everywhere," he said. "We're trying to take the lead and make [the degree] available to people anywhere in the world."
Each concentration will focus on real-world ethical problems and will be geared toward students who may be dealing with these situations in their line of work, said Braden Allenby, civil and environmental engineering professor and coordinator of the sustainability and environmental ethics concentration.
Allenby said the concentration will be more of an applied study than a strictly academic program, which will be beneficial in real-world implementation.
"[We are] beginning to try to create ethical structures or ideas that [students] can apply in very new situations that may not, on the surface, pertain much to sustainability," Allenby said. "If we can teach and help [students] to understand how to think, then they'll be able to adjust in new situations,"
Jason Robert, professor of ethics in biotechnology and medicine and coordinator of the biomedical ethics concentration, said he agreed that teaching students how to apply knowledge of ethics in current situations is the goal of the program. On the biomedical ethics track, students will focus on learning how medicine works and the morals attached to the practice of medicine.
"[Students are] going to learn about ethical, cultural and social issues throughout medicine from bench to bedside," Robert said.
The Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics is currently accepting applications for applied ethics and the professions in all five concentrations at lincolncenter.asu.edu/students_MADegree. There is no deadline to apply for the program.

Road Design Might Cut Emergency Access in N.C.
A road designed to ease traffic for thousands of drivers each day may cut off access to an area in Matthews for police and firefighters.
Town officials said they are concerned that the Monroe Bypass will block access to Independence Commerce Drive and the more than 200 people who work in the area off that road.
"Our public safety issue is our main concern right now," Mayor of Matthews Jim Taylor said.
Currently, Independence Commerce Drive connects directly to Independence Boulevard. According to the owner of an office park on that road, Roger Martin, 15 businesses are located there, employing approximately 100 people.
Several more people work in nearby businesses also affected by the bypass.
"It's definitely a concern," Martin said. "There's been some lost sleep over it."
Taylor said the shortest detour has twists and turns that are impossible for a fire truck to navigate, forcing emergency services to take a roundabout route.
"Service in the area would be delayed by two, three, four minutes because of having to go around the long way," Taylor said.
But the mayor said he and other local officials have been working on a solution. Regional transportation officials from the Mecklenburg-Union Metropolitan Planning Organization are scheduled to take a closer look at the proposal Wednesday night.
Taylor said Matthews currently has federal funds approved to extend a section of McKee Road. He said the solution would build a different section of McKee Road and connect it to Steven Mills Road.
Martin said that would give emergency responders more direct access and put his own mind at ease.
"I'm pretty optimistic at this point," Martin said. "I believe we have everyone's attention."
If MUMPO shows its support for the proposal Wednesday night, it will still need support from the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the North Carolina Turnpike Authority.
Regional transportation officials said a final decision will most likely come this summer.
Construction is scheduled to begin on the bypass in October.

Love this. Pray they never take it off the market. I use this twice a day and it has kept my difficult skin much easier to manage. Doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry, just clean. A little bit goes a long way. I have a hard time finding it in stores but its on Amazon. Everyone needs to give this face wash a try in my opinion.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Nothing special. Just a basic face wash.
I do not feel it really cleansed that well and my skin seemed to look sorta dull when I used this.
The dullness improved immediately once I stopped using it.
LOVE this stuff!! I have the hardest time finding it in the store so I usually buy it on Amazon. I have combination skin and while I still get the occasional pimple, it doesn't dry my skin out while keeping it grease free. I love the light scent and the little bit of foam I get. Takes off my makeup no problem. My skin just feels good after washing with this stuff. It also lasts a long time. A small amount on your finger tip goes a long way. I cant' rave about this face wash enough.
More reviews by NotoriousCharity
I brought multiple tubes of this facewash after falling in love with it's calming herbal fragrance. And for $3.98 at Walmart it's definite bang for the buck. But I wouldn't rely on just using it alone to remove makeup. Like other reviewers noted it doesn't remove everything. It's probably best used as a morning face wash when waking up.
I used this product many years ago and if they did not reformulate, I have to comment that it did not remove my heavily applied makeup at the time. Although it foams, not as powerful as a foaming face wash or even a cream-foaming face wash.
I have oily/combo skin that isn't really problematic at all. I loved this product for the first few months of having used it. It smells amazing and lathers fantastic no matter how much or how little you use. But then I started to wear makeup everyday and I really started to have chin breakouts. I was wondering why and then I figured out that I wasn't removing my makeup completely. After using my cleansing oil, I used this cleanser and I thought it was doing the job. It wasn't at all. It claims to remove dirt, oil, and makeup but it can't even remove my waterproof mascara or powder blush. If you're someone who doesn't wear makeup, then give this a go.
This cleanser made me break out terribly.
I bought it after reading all the positive reviews and was looking forward to trying it.
Within a few days my skin got many dry patches and eventually I developed a rash.
I guess I am allergic to some of its ingredients.
To add to the misery I bought a 3pack of this on Amazon:(
Will try to use it as a foot soak and on the kitchen floor.
I had to try this because of the big hype!
Not bad! I had no complaints. It didn't break me out at all or make my skin too dry/oily.
The only downside is that it didn't really say what is what living up to. It didn't really cleanse my pores or take off that much makeup. When I used my toner after, there was a good bit of makeup (more than usual;not a lot though). I wasn't expect much because of the price. It definitely is a great cleanser if you plan on using it in the morning before you apply makeup, not at night taking it off.
Can't say enough great things about this cleanser. I use this most days and it takes of my mineral foundation with ease.

Ok so first background check on my skin, it it combination, and supeeeeeer acne prone. Really oily on my nose, dry around my mouth, and slightly oily on my forehead and normal everywhere else. I love this wash!!<3 It is so good and dirt cheap! Just a little under 4 dollars. I have been using this for about 3 months and it truly is amazing. It really cleans and remove all my excess oil while not stripping my skin. I would choose this over cetaphil any day because it actually contains beneficial ingrediants that keep the skin healthy. The only thing i wish was different is that it came in a pump, not a tube. KEEP IN MIND, when switching face washes your skin might actually tweak out a bit to adjust because you're using a different product, and that is what happened with mine. After a week, it really was amazing.:) Now though, I'm on a retanoid at night, clindamycin, benzoyle peroxide wash, and minocycline in the morning so I just use this at night. It is being a tad drying now because of all the acne medications so sadly, and this really kills me, I'll probably have to find a more suitable wash for my dryer skin right now.:( I really cannot wait to start using this wash again, it's just that great!! Try this product out and stick with it, you will love it.:)

suddenly there is a fake yellow light slashing its way through the backs of my eyes. my face had been turned all sideways to stare at the lonely blue-patterned wallpaper and everything feels icy and laced with chemicals that don't pierce through all the dirt, so it lies there, coating my arms and reflecting my eyes. stitching my gaze all around the room, i rest my careful eyes on the leaves of my life blowing in the wind, hidden there in the corners of everything. the leaves are dying, you know. dying, all blown around the edges and the green creeping out of their insides. my arms look sick yellow and i keep thinking that everything feels like it's dying over and over again. i never thought so much death could begin and end in one small room with only one window to breathe through, with all these cold-blooded tiles.
my house and my stomach are hollow and empty, every essence that lingers inside them thrown right down the drain and left somewhere in the metal bowels to stagnate and drop.
i lift my marble legs straight up till i am level with the sink, and i spread cool drops over my sunken face. well there's prickled stubble scampering across the panes of my young & dumb face, hung-over, wrought-out.
she's all dead and gone with the leaves, i think. my little plastic lover, my hollographic dreamgirl. she left in a milky blue car last night and when it got smaller the road looked like her spine and the car was the chip i knew was there, keeping her heart all plastic and hard. i shudder out down the rickety stairs, the very own spine of my yellow old house, past the bedroom my parents had deserted for a nice hotel in rusty Missoula. they'd left me all alone in a growing house with chipped bones and that one plastic lover. five pints, six pints, seven hundred of pints of ale later and i woke on the floor. the stairs now cave in slowly at the weight of my pretty disappointment. i've eaten them one by one.
i left my brain on the bathroom floor and my heart in my stomach. you see, she had a way of making her plastic feel like living skin and tiny bones. she, she, she, me. not me. not enough, too much, so mud-caked in bathrooms. i don't know how long i've been here. been awake.
sleep and death are the only calling lovers now that
she's all ghostly and i'm brainless, drained in blue test tubes. i used to be alive.
i used to be alive.
i used to be alive.
later, after the chemicals pierce my veins, i'm dead again.
funny thing is, this time it's in the dark kitchen
but the leaves are still there, deader & deader.

Just curious if anybody else cleans their equipment with a cleanser after using and then before the next batch only sanitizes? Thats what I've been doing lately; cleaning with Straight-A after every use then storing it in a rubbermaid container until its a new brew day and only sanitizing with Idophor before using again. My thought is that everything was cleaned and then went into a clean container so cleaning shouldn't be necessary again, only sanitizing. I've been doing it this way for about a 12 brews and haven't had any problems. Just wondering if i should be more OCD by cleaning after using - store - clean again - and then sanitize or just stick with the current clean - store - sanitize? Of course i know it wouldn't hurt to throw in another cleaning, but just want to see how everybody else out there does it.
Once the item is clean there is no reason to clean it again if its stored in a closed container. I sometimes rinse then sanitize but don't see a need to wash it again.
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
I run an Oxi - clean solution through my system using the pumps and re-heat everything during the boil to about 140, then run off down the driveway while filling with fresh rinse water until all the soap is gone. Before brewing I do the same thing. Linc
Tap#1 = Beer Tap#2 = Beer THey change to often to keep up with the Sig.
I clean once after brewing/bottling. I usually just give it a quick rinse in plain tap water then sanitize. Never had any issues.
"This song goes out to me because I'm so f*ckin' cool!"~John Reis
This is helpful, because I have been cleaing at the end of a brew session and also at the beginning. I was beginning to wonder if this was a waste of time and cleanser and it seems it is! Thanks for the question!
"It is sheer folly to be taken by the hand and led down the path of better brewing by someone who says that they know it all. No, it is your experience that counts most. It is your experience that will always lead you to more questions." ~Charlie Papazian
Clean thoroughly, store, sanitize and use. I've always done this, why sanitize it, store it, just to sanitize it again? As long as you do it pre-brewing on brew day you're golden.
Its a common theme to 'clean after use, sanitize before using'. A mantra even. If you indeed cleaned it right the first time, you don't need to re-clean unless its been long enough to get really dusty. (i.e. months between brews)
I just pulled off my SS braided hose w/coupler/ball valve/bulkhead setup from my MLT cooler and dismantled it. I cleaned religiously after ever batch, but I can't recall ever taking apart the bulkhead. There was some serious nasty crap in the threading of the nipple and on both o-rings (each side of the bulkhead). This has me wanting to clean this stuff more often, especially since i've upgraded to an all SS setup w/a keggle MLT.

After really cleaning the corny and replacing every oring, how about dropping a campden tablet in before transfering beer?
Is there a lab that you can send samples off too and get results for an affordable price?
[QUOTE=Aloha_Brew;4878739] The only thing I haven't done so far is to attempt to sterilize with boiling water, bleach and water solution, or steam/ autoclave (to which I have no idea how to accomplish it even if I wasn't afraid it would render the attached rubber/ plastic completely useless). Just for the record, kegs are autoclavable! Some rubber tops get softer than others temporarily while hot, but I've not had a problem doing this. Once they cool I've had no issues with the handles - or poppets, or any seals. I'd give a serious look to everything you use, not just the kegs, in your search for the source of contamination.
Well, it would seem as if all my efforts were for nothing. I have been dispensing my recent pilsner over the last four days and yesterday noticed a slight "huskiness" (the best way I can describe the onset) to it. Today it had less huskiness and more of a malt vinegar bite and smell. It is definitely still drinkable and I will "monitor" the severity of the taste over the bext couple days, but I fear the worst. Once I'm done with this keg I'll try my Helles and then the Dopple, just to make sure the infection didn't also end up in them. I believe that I will have to cease my brewing for the next couple months, or at least the kegging, to save up for brand new kegs. I've done all I can and I can't think of anything else I could possibly do that wasn't covered in some other fashion by my previous efforts. A side note: when I bought the kegs they were definitely used, having surface scratches and dents as well as similar evidence if use on the inside. I don't know why this problem has only manifested in two of three (only one of the two I had shipped from kegconnection, and the one I had purchased from my local HBS) but I fully understand that the infection SHOULD NOT be living in the keg and originated from outside; as I've not found any evidence of leaching in steel kegs that imparts the same type of flavor I have, increasing over time and only manifesting after 6 months of use. So, I will save up and buy some brand new kegs and dispensing hoses. Thanks for all the advice guys, and I truly hope that all of you and myself will never experience such crap ever again.
never use bleach on stainless, unless you plan to polish and re-pacify. Oxy clean will leave a film unless you rinse and use a 3m as you are rinsing. 1/2 gal of warm water and 1/4 cup of lye will clean any residue from stainless (it's dangerous so protect yourself) you can dilute it afterwards and distribute in your drains and it will kill off the drain fly's full strength muriatic acid will re-pacify stainless. Wear proper protection and use the rinse to remove the oil stains in the driveway or bump off the fire ants. After you are satisfied that they are squeaky clean replace the o rings (don't forget keg lube) dump a couple of quarts of star san in put the lid on and shake it around. Pressure up to 30 lbs and purge (if you invert the keg and purge a little it will do the relief valve) hook up the liquid line and drain the rest through the tap
the brewer makes the beer, not the equipment let the beer tell you when it is finished
Reading John Palmer's "How to Brew," as mentioned before, he didn't mention anything about re-pacifying. I understand how that could solve the problem if it really was leaching, but I am not tasting any metalic flavor. It is a distinct souring that is closer to malt vinegar than anything, especially as it sits in the keg. It also is not affected by a "lack" of oxygen, as I carbonated before serving by slowly bleeding CO2 while the relief valve was up for about 30 seconds and then released full pressure twice at 17psi. I've never dealt with those chemicals before either and would not feel that it would be cost-effective/ worth the time/ beneficial with my particular situation. If I was a brewery, I might have to deal with that, but with all that I've done so far I sincerely doubt that any more effort (regardless of the agent being used to "clean" or "sanitize") will yield any more success. I might just as well try and find an autoclave that some business or individual owns on the island and ensure 100% sterilization. But again, that would probably be costly and I know about as much as where to find an autoclave as I do those chemical agents. It would be far easier, and probably just as costly, to just buy new equipment. Something has to be in those kegs that isn't letting go, and there is no explanation I have as to why it is even possible that it is remaining there but all evidence points to that conclusion. I'm just tired of spending time and money trying to fix something that's already broken, even though it would be beneficial for me to understand how to eradicate such a problem that might occur again in the future. Replacing o-rings and StarSan have also not solved this particular problem, to include replacing poppets and relief valves. I wholeheartedly agree that everything everyone has recommended is good practice and what I have done should have fixed the problem. Unfortunately, it has not and I am not hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience; so, I must conclude that this is something out of the ordinary and likely involves no solution that anyone has discovered themselves. As for sending it off to a lab, I just might go ahead and do that. That would be more worthwile in my opinion, in order to get an expert opinion on what else I might have tried or what I could have done to prevent such an infection. I think White Labs might be able to help, but anyone who has any other suggestions for this type of thing please feel free to share.
Maybe destroying them would be the last and perhaps best solution. Just to review: Did you thoroughly scrub and clean the inside of the dip tubes with stiff brushes? And all the nooks and crannies inside the kegs and lids? The most likely places for dirt to hide out is where you can't see it or get to. There is a possibility those kegs in question are gauged in a place where you can't see it, like right under the top, or have a bad weld, crimp, or dent that harbors dirt and the tenacious bugs. Even autoclaving won't be a permanent solution if that's the case. If you have one, stick a USB camera in them to inspect those areas. Remember, a dirty surface cannot be sanitized, whatever you do. I'm sure there are ways to test them without filling them up with good wort. Simple "sterile sugar water" as a test liquid should get infected too. Good luck with your research project.

16 Teaspoons Of Sugar Found In Coke Bottle

To find proof of why the government needs to force food labels to list "teaspoons" instead of "grams" of sugar, Marlene Schwartz set off in the aisles of Romeo & Cesare.
Schwartz—who runs Yale's Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity—had just finished holding a press conference Tuesday in front of the popular Orange Street gourmet grocery with New Haven U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro and Connecticut U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. She praised a letter the pair wrote to the Food & Drug Administration urging that new labeling rules require plainer and more honest wording so people can avoid poisoning themselves. (Click here to read the letter.) Their suggestions included requiring, for instance, that food companies list the amount of added sugar in a product in teaspoons, not grams, so people can get a true grasp of how much obesity- and diabetes-causing added sugar they're swallowing.
After the press conference, Schwartz agreed to enter the grocery to demonstrate the pernicious packaging the trio targeted.
It wasn't easy. Not in a store where aisles look like this ...
... and this.
Schwartz made her way to the back and finally seized a piece of evidence: a 20-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola.
She took a look (as shown in the video at the top of this story)—and offered the soda manufacturer props for placing a prominent calorie count on the front of the label.
Then she noted the calorie count: 240.
"Two hundred and forty calories," Schwartz said, "is a lot."
The subject at hand, anyway, was grams versus teaspoons. She read the label: 65 grams of sugar. Hmmm… How does that sound?
Not nearly as off-putting, she said, as 16 teaspoons of sugar. Which is roughly what the 65 grams equal.
"It's as if you're handing your a child a glass of water and sitting there with a sugar bowl and teaspoon and putting in 16 teaspoons," Schwartz remarked. (Coca-Cola did not respond to requests for comment for this story.)
Schwartz's center has surveyed people on the subject. They're inevitably "shocked," she said, to learn how many teaspoons, as opposed to grams, of sugar are piled into their soft drinks.
"Parents really want to make good choices for their children," Schwartz said. She cited a survey in which parents identified one to two teaspoons of sugar as the appropriate amount of sugar to put in their kids' drinks, not realizing six or seven (or higher) is the more common number.
At the press conference, Blumenthal argued that more people will make "smart choices" about what to feed themselves and their kids if they get better information. "Americans don't know what grams are," he argued. He said the issue matters because obesity has become an "epidemic" in America, along with attendant diseases like diabetes. Some one-third of American children are obese, he said. DeLauro said that 12 states have adult obesity rates over 30 percent, as of 2010. She said the recommended daily maximum amount of sugar men should eat is nine teaspoons, women, six teaspoons; the average American consumes more like 23 teaspoons.
Blumenthal's and DeLauro's letter was prompted by changes in food labeling recently proposed by the FDA. (Read them here.) They applauded the FDA's proposal to require labels to include a count of added sugars. But in addition to seeking the measurements in teaspoons rather than grams, they called for including guidelines of recommended daily intake. They also called for putting nutritional labels on the front, not the back, of packages; using more readable fonts; disclosing amounts of caffeine; and more rigorously defining "whole wheat," "natural" and "healthy."
Back in the less-completely-healthful rear of the Romeo & Cesare oasis, Marlene Schwartz opened the freezer to retrieve a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. She found more misleading labeling: a "serving size" of half a cup.
No wonder a "serving" is only 260 calories.
"Those of you who have measuring cups at home, take out a half a cup and you tell me how often" you eat only that much in a Ben & Jerry's "serving," Schwartz said. She said her center's research said that a typical serving is clearly larger. Some people eat the whole pint!
Her solution: Have the FDA require companies to adjust serving sizes to reflect reality. Specifically, any time research shows a true serving size to be 100 percent larger than the listed serving size.
And the sugar in the Ben & Jerry's?
Per listed "serving," the ice cream contains 27 grams. A more realistic single-cup serving, then would contain 54 grams. Or more than 13 teaspoons.
That's "fine, if you want to have a small serving of Ben & Jerry's [be your] 'dessert of the day,'" Schwartz advised. How to limit your serving to a cup? Schwartz recommended dividing the pint up with three friends.

Rarely agree with either Blumenthal or DeLauro, but this time they are right, particularly re teaspoon proposal

i find it ironic that the rudd center doesn't recognize that they are the junk food of policy centers, empty calories.
there are more teaspoons of sugar in an equivalent serving of orange juice than there are in that coke.
do they really think that people only finish a pint of ben and jerry's because they're unaware that it's fattening? truly, food policy is a rigorous discipline.

I think the gov't should eliminate the "serving size" labeling and simply label the nutritional content of the whole package.
As far as grams/teaspoons…instead of assuming stupidity, why don't we just improve our students education? Like, for instance, the fact that a "gram" is a measurement of mass and a "teaspoon" is a measurement of volume.

TAX SUGAR on everything! Cookies, ice cream… We've also got tons of sugar in things like ketchup and barbecue sauce. No brainer that if you let stores sell ten 2 liters of coke for $10, or five 12 packs for $2 each that Americans will buy it.
This country is WALL-E without the ship!

I believe the FDA is actually moving towards making that policy, although it won't be in effect for a few years, where the serving size listed on a product is more in tune with realistically how much someone is going to eat/drink. Energy drinks and soda bottles won't be divided into 2 servings anymore for example. Also a serving of oreos or fig newtons will now probably be more than 2.
Realistically though it doesn't matter how much someone logically knows about grams. Americans don't use grams in their daily lives, we measure all of our food in tea/tablespoons and cups(occasionally ounces). Most Americans can't easily visualize what X amount of grams translates into(except maybe weed smokers). As for volume vs mass, that doesn't really matter, the goal is a labeling that is easily understood and visualized by people regardless of what approach is used.

But I don't want a 20 oz bottle of soda…....
Size is as big an issue as content….
posted by: robn on August 6, 2014 3:19pm
My point is twofold:
1) I don't think there is a realistic amount of any package that the FDA can predict and in many cases, people will chow down entire packages in one sitting.
2) Kids and many parents don't read labels. I've rarely to never seen people reading them at point of purchase (grocery stores) and I wouldn't expect them to read them at home unless their educated to do so. And while were at it, let educate kids to understand the difference between weight and volume in both imperial and metric. The US is the only industrialized country in the world that hasn't adopted the metric system. That's fine but shouldn't kids at least understand it.
3) Not a point but simultaneously fun and disturbing.

Label or No label.I would not drink this stuff.

To minimize guesswork and make calculations easier, just remember that one teaspoon of granulated white sugar is approximately 4 grams.
So when you know the number of grams of sugar content and want to think about teaspoons, divide the number of grams by 4 and the result approximates the number of teaspoons.
As mentioned in the article, the 20 ounce bottle of cola contains 65 grams of sugar. Divide 65 by 4 and the result is approximately 16.25 teaspoons of sugar.
Don't forget: 4 grams per teaspoon only applies to white granulated sugar. Other substances have different values for grams per teaspoon (density).

FYI, here is another conversion: 16 teaspoons is about 1/3 of a cup. I have baking recipes that serve 8-12 that use that much for the whole batch.

"In theory" there are spoonfuls of "sugar" in Coke, except that there hasn't been sugar in American coke since the 1980s. Instead, Coke has high fructose corn syrup. If you can find high fructose corn syrup I suppose you could put it on a spoon.
If the point of the labeling is to scare away people from drinking their calories, the best would be a picture of what a glob of high fructose corn syrup looks like, and another good one would be a beaker of human fat after a liposuction procedure. Other countries have graphic art on their cigarette packs, like diseased lungs to remind smokers that smoking causes lung disease.

@ cupojoe: We can't tax sugar. American Chrystal Sugar is one of DeLauro's biggest perpetual re-election campaign donors: http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00000615&cycle=2014&type=C&newMem=N&recs=100
So instead we'll play make believe, and tell everyone that diabetes will go away if we simply change from grams to teaspoons. And, when we make our stunning announcement—we get free re-election campaign coverage [aka a "press conference"].

Middlesbrough V Leicester at The Riverside Stadium : Match Preview
Middlesbrough V Leicester - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Varga and Whitehead boost Boro
Middlesbrough duo Jozsef Varga and Dean Whitehead are expected to make their debuts when they host Leicester on the opening day.
Midfielder Varga joined from Debrecen in the summer and the Hungarian international should line up in the middle.
Former Stoke and Sunderland man Whitehead is also likely to join him in midfield after the 31-year-old penned a two-year deal.
Manager Tony Mowbray has a fully-fit squad to choose from as he plots another promotion push.
David Nugent has recovered from a minor injury to give Leicester boss Nigel Pearson a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Nugent, the Foxes' leading scorer last season with 16 goals, has missed the last two friendly matches with a thigh strain but the striker will be part of the squad that travels to Teesside.
Zoumana Bakayogo is the only new signing at the King Power Stadium this summer. The former Tranmere defender, who joined the club on a free transfer last week, will provide Paul Konchesky with competition for the left-back spot.
Striker Jermaine Beckford and central midfielder Richie Wellens were the notable departures from Pearson's squad during the close season.

A friend who works for the company gave me a full size container of CDLM because I was dying to try it. I really wanted to like it but it's just WAY too rich for me. Maybe when I'm older and my skin is drier. Using this every day made me break out. I've tried using it as an eye cream (as recommended) and it's much better, but I'm still not in love. I want to believe in the CDLM hype, and would LOVE to try the serum, but this cream is strictly for super dry or super damaged skin. In fact, I ended up giving it to a friend who has super sun-damaged skin and she likes it. I believe the CDLM works for dry or damaged skin, but I don't think it's for everyone. UPDATE: I've figured out the secret to using this as an eye cream - I put a bit of this on my ring finger and tap my two ring fingers against each other to "melt it down" then I tap it under my eyes. Can you say holy grail eye cream? I even tap it on my cheeks - the one area that gets so dry and itchy in the winter. LOVE it!! When you consider how little I'll use and how long it lasts, this is actually a deal.
Well, I really wanted to love it (although at that price,I'm not sure why....). I ended up breaking out on my forehead from it, so I used it in specific areas. I have a dry patch on my eye that it didn't help, but I have a scar on my lip that it did soften. It's certainly a rich thick moisturizer,but it didn't work any miracles or make any wrinkles go away.
UPDATE: okay, now I love this stuff. It lasts a long time also and it really helps my face feel so soft and luxurious. I tried using other moisturizers, but they leave my skin feeling slippery or oily, but this is perfect.
This is a wonderfully thick cream that really softens my skin when it gets very dry. Use sparingly however. Very pricey but IMO worth it.
This is my emergency ointment. When I'm really dry, it does the trick. When I had bronchitus from a terrible cold, this totally repaired my poor, chapped nose. When my skin had wind burn from fishing, it made the misery go away. It was especially great as eye cream at that time. But, since my skin is pretty oily, it's not my everyday moisturizer...
I bought this product after all the great things I read about it. I have older dry skin, this moisturizer does help but it's no miracle.I really don't think I would spend all that money again on it. I learned something from buying this product.. try to get a sample before spending so much money on any product I feel like I,ve been taken.
Although I have dry skin, except in the summer, this cream is way too heavy for me and it broke me out. I wish it could have been the miracle worker some say it is, but my purse is glad it is not!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the tiny sample size, and I'm glad I didn't waste my money on anything bigger. It was nice, but DEFINATELY not worth the money.

What to Do When Your Business Is Struggling
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There is nothing I absolutely hate more than people who panic in a crisis. It drives me insane. Not because people have fears that override their good judgment and common sense, but because panic is the most negative disease that can affect a company.
Panic that is unchecked can be like a tsunami wiping out everything in its path. I have seen good companies implode because the leadership panicked. In fact, this happened to a recent client of mine.
The company made products that it shipped all over the United States. Orders gradually started to decrease and clients went out of business, and the company was bleeding cash before too long.
The board, which had been snoozing on the thickly upholstered chairs in the conference room for the past decade, accidentally fell over and, with a startled look, said, "We need to fire some people!" Waves of layoffs began.
Watching this company was like viewing old Elmer Fudd cartoons, where he keeps shooting himself and wonders why the pain keeps getting worse. Leaving with the undesirables were the most talented people, who weren't about to wait around to be shot and thrown over the side of the boat. The leadership cloistered themselves in the president's conference room, which resembled a bunker. Management looked scared, and the president physically looked and sounded unsure. My client asked me to join him for lunch. He reminded me of Humphrey Bogart's disturbed Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny. He blamed the government, the economy, his managers and the employees. What I wasn't hearing was a solution to the problems the company was having. How do you stop from panicking when everything seems to be going wrong? The following is the process I go through to turn chaos into calm and finally into a positive experience that will rejuvenate the employees. Step 1: In every company I have ever run, the first rule I tell the employees is, "Unless someone dies, it's no big deal. Any problem can be fixed." Step 2: Everyone has heard the expression, "Never let 'em see you sweat." Once you start sweating, people become concerned, rumors start to fly and resumes get sent out. The key is to take a deep breath. Maybe go out for some coffee or order in some pizzas, but don't show you are frazzled. Step 3: Think through the problem and put your thoughts on paper about how you think the problem should be solved. Step 4: Go to your advisory board, board of directors or mentor and tell them what the problem is and how you plan to solve it. Ask them for feedback. Getting an outside perspective will help and will also take some of the mental weight off your shoulders. You won't feel like you are tackling the problem on your own. Step 5: Gather your employees together and admit there is a problem, and then discuss how you plan to solve it. When you give the presentation, make sure you give the appearance of a winner. Take responsibility for the problems and remind everyone that every business goes through ups and downs. Make sure your clothes are pressed, and your hair is appropriately groomed, and do the presentation with a smile on your face. You have to come across as sincere. Step 6: As you are reassuring the employees, open the meeting up for questions and suggestions. Tell the employees that you are open to their ideas, because they might have a different perspective on the problem. Let everyone know that negative talk is unproductive and won't be tolerated. Step 7: Walk around and talk to your employees. Be the first one in and the last to leave so employees see that you're committed. It also will allow employees who are shy about speaking up in a group to let you know what they are thinking. Step 8: Keep everyone apprised by email and once-a-month meetings about how the implemented changes are going. Step 9: Look around the office and see who is still uncomfortable. Talk to them. If they are still flustered, offer to help them find another job, but eliminate them as soon as possible. All of your good work can be destroyed by people who espouse negative ideas. Step 10: Celebrate victories. None of us do enough of that. Buy a group meal on a Friday and then send everyone home early if your customers won't have their businesses disrupted. Just keep in mind when you're ready to scream, cry or throw your arms up in despair that nothing is accomplished by becoming unraveled. Stay focused and positive, and start thinking about a plan to get your project, product or company back on track. As for my client, they eventually fought their way back to profitability. They learned a very valuable lesson about reacting to a situation -- if they had taken a deep breath and viewed their situation as an opportunity to improve the company, they could have turned a potential tsunami into a light shower.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

From the Publisher
"Gálvez's rich ethnographic study of Mexican immigrants in New York City highlights their devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe not only as a religious practice but as a means to create community and public life in the United States. Given the ongoing and increasing presence of Mexicans immigrants in the Northeast, Guadalupe in New York is an important study that social scientists, educators, religious workers, and public servants should read to understand the persistent and complex role that Guadalupe devotion plays in the lives of Mexicans in the United States."-Joseph M. Palacios,Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Georgetown University
"Galvez's findings offer much to consider for students of religious, ethnic, and transnational identities."-Choice,
"Portrays the dilemmas of being a recent Mexican immigrant in New York City today. This book analyzes how the cult of the Virgin of Guadalupe provides a means for immigrants to articulate their aspirations for belonging and, ultimately, citizenship in the United States. Written with vivid grace, this book is a pleasure to read and should be required reading for all concerned with these issues."
-Renato Rosaldo,Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences, Emeritus, Stanford University
"Galvez' book is a fascinating and valuable study of the intersection between contemporary religious practice and national identity among New York City's Mexican immigrant community."-Paul Kahan,Religious Studies Review
"Professor Galvez presents the social and anthropological theoretical framework for all these developments clearly and succinctly, making this book a valuable addition to academic studies on Latinos in the United States and an excellent college text. But all readers will find the individual immigrant stories and the organizational travails thoroughly engaging and the journeys of faith inspiring."-American Catholic Studies

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) September 05, 2013
Guerbet announced today that Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, NY recently performed the first US adult injection of Dotarem® (gadoterate meglumine), the only macrocyclic and ionic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The procedure was performed in an adult with borderline renal function. It follows the first pediatric injection of Dotarem at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Dotarem is indicated for intravenous use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain (intracranial), spine and associated tissues in adult and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) to detect and visualize areas with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and/or abnormal vascularity.
