Beer brewers taking action after more plastic kegs explode
Sunday, October 21, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — Even before a fatal accident occurred at the Redhook Ale Brewery earlier this year, Tennessee brewer Chuck Skypeck began taking a close look at his supply of plastic beer kegs.
More keg explosions reported
While plastic beer kegs have been in use in Europe for some time — ostensibly more than a decade — their introduction into the American market was largely spearheaded by a British company called CypherCo.
Brewing veteran raises concerns
Englishman Jeff Gunn has been involved in keg design for nearly five decades — long enough that his recent warnings about plastic kegs have generated a buzz among brewers.
Redhook still probing keg blast
Craft Brew Alliance Inc., which controls Redhook, announced this summer that it has hired an independent investigator to probe the cause of the keg explosion in April.
One factor complicating the investigation is that there were no witnesses to the 7 a.m. incident, according to CEO Terry Michaelson wrote, who said in June the company might never be able to ascertain the cause.
Redhook believes Ben Harris was in the process of emptying the plastic keg that exploded in order to stack it on a pallet when it blew apart. Michaelson said the same keg emptying procedure has been performed without incident at CBA breweries around the country for years.
The company has said the keg involved in the accident was not owned by Redhook or any other brewery under the CBA umbrella. It was delivered to Redhook in error as part of a delivery of empty keg returns.
The keg wasn't clearly marked with the manufacturer's name, but CBA is in contact with a manufacturer believed to have produced the keg, according to Michaelson.

Veal Scallopini with Sundried Tomato Sauce
I have been wanting to try anchovies for a while now and I finally got around to picking some up. I had bookmarked several interesting sounding recipes and at the top of the list was Anthony Sedlak's recipe for Veal Scallopini with Sundried Tomato Sauce from the show "The Main" on the Food Network. The sundried tomato sauce sounded so good! I really liked the idea of basing a sauce with sundried tomatoes and a full head of roasted garlic certainly helped. The sundried tomato sauce came together pretty easily and it tasted really good! It went well with he slightly crispy and juicy and tender veal cutlets. When I first opened the jar of anchovies I was greeted with a fishy smell but after cooking in the sauce the smell went away and there was no fishy taste. The chopped anchovies pretty much disappeared into the sauce and there was no flavour that I could identify as the anchovies in the sauce. I am however, sure that the sauce would not have been as tasty without the anchovies. Overall it was a good start to my exploration of anchovies. I served the veal scallopini with sundried tomato sauce on polenta with some steamed broccolini.
Veal Scallopini
4 veal cutlets
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup flour
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (grated)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour.
4. Dip the veal cutlets into the eggs.
5. Dredge the veal cutlets in the bread crumbs.
6. Cook the veal cutlets in th oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Sundried Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot (chopped)
2 anchovy fillets (chopped)
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (chopped)
1 head roasted garlic
1/3 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the shallots and anchovies and saute until the anchovies break down
3. Add the sundried tomatoes and roasted garlic and saute for another minute.
4. Add the white wine, deglaze the pan and simmer to reduce.
5. Add the chicken stock and simmer to reduce to a sauce like consistency.
6. Lower the heat and melt in the butter.
7. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

is there a good washer out there???
I have the Fisher Paykal and HATE!!! it. It has black growing in it and now putting black on our clothes. We have had it almost 3 years. When it was still under warranty they would come out, take it apart and wipe off all the "crud" growing on it. I use the clean cycle to clean the machine often, but that doesn't help. So...I need a new machine and don't want anxiety attacks. Looking for a top loader that is good with delicates/hand washing and also blankets/towels. Want the clothes clean!!!
No, there really isn't anymore thanks to government regulations. Speed Queen makes a good top loader, but even it has been compromised by a reduced water levels and lack of a true hot water wash.
My next washer will be a reconditioned used one made before all this nonsense got out of hand.
Speed Queens fill 1/3 hot and 2/3 cold for a warm wash as the inlet valves have differently sized openings. On a hot cycle, only hot water will go in, as I understand, but it'll take a while due to the reduced size of the hot inlet valve. There is a workaround for that (either get a different valve of drill a larger hole into the existing one).
The fill can be raised to all the way up. Here's a YT video for that procedure.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://youtu.be/qBHO1bPnlUU
I have recently bought a speed queen AWN542 toploader. It washes with true hot water, warm is on the cool side but it is much better than the waveforce washer I had that destroyed my sheets. True due to government regulations it didnt fill to the top, but its a quick fix to say the least. It is more gentle than my old whirlpooll TL from the late 80's and a load is done in 35 minutes or less, and quess what, ITS CLEAN! Im shocked at how well it does clean, and I get no more dryer lint than I did with my waveforce. Its built like a tank to say the least let me tell you.
I had an old Speed Queen that was pre-owned at my old house, loved it! Here I have an Amana that I bought at Lowe's around 2003 or so. It is the hardest working, best performing appliance in my house. My only complaint is that sometimes the delicate cycle will leave items dripping and very wet... But that means that it does treat delicate items delicately. The Amana set I got was the best appliance purchase I've made. And the Lowe's delivery guys were terrific too.
I just brought a Speed Queen a couple of days ago AWN412. It will be delivered this coming Saturday. After watching youtube videos and looking at reviews, I decided to go with the Speed Queen. Top load He washers just don't seem to turn the clothes over enough and front loaders just didn't seem to use enough water to do a good job of cleaning based on what i saw.
We purchased a pair of Speed Queen top load washer and dryer during this past Thanksgiving break. So far the experience has been exceeding expectation. They reduce laundry time significantly.
While in Europe, we used various front load machines, the long wash cycles drove us insane. We did not want to pay for a pair of Lamborghini in our laundry room. We also did not have the needs to challenge our scientific aptitude trying to figure out options on some of washers and dryers on the market. We wanted speed, convenience, quality and durability. We picked Speed Queen for the simple design, price point, and track record.
So far we have washed bath room rugs, towels, blanket, jeans, knits, silk tops, sheets, cottons, wools and cashmere sweaters. Everything comes out fresh, clean, dry without much winkles; white is white, color and shape is the same as before each article goes into the washer.
We had concerns about washer's capacity, but so far we don't feel any shortage when comparing our SQ washer to previous washers of larger capacity. I knew SQ washer only provides two speeds and it could be a shortcoming, but after it washed knits, silks, wools, and cashmeres..etc. with "hand wash and delicate cycle" so nicely, I am totally happy without any reservation.
Hot water is of same temperature as from hot water line. When I think warm water is not warm enough for certain items, filling the washer at certain level, I would switch to "HOT" setting. I don't feel the needs of altering water inlets.
Before our purchase, I heard about complaints regarding the water level and watched You Tube. The delivery man said if we altered machines' set up it could result warranty being voided.
But so far I don't feel the needs to change water level set up. Occasionally I wait until washer is filled and then add laundry so that it would bump up the water level somewhat, but now I think maybe it is unnecessary. Everything comes out fresh and clean, why do I need to have more water? I should stop doing that.
The washer is stable, it never "walks" or "shakes" even once as our old machine did. It never lumps clothes in a big tangle mess as our old machine did. We did not change our laundry behaviors, so these positive changes should give credit to Speed Queen.
One thing needs to note is that our SQ washer is not as quiet as our other brand old washer. Is it because the tub is made of stainless steel instead of plastic so that it produces louder echoes and magnified by laundry room tile floor? I don't know. But the sound does not bother us at all especially we always close the door to the laundry room.
The dryer dries fast and has not shrunk any article. Things come out fluffy and wonderful. I like the side opening door that let me shovel dried laundry directly to laundry basket. It is the most quiet dryer we have ever owned.
I never understand some Americans' Anti-Government sentiments. IMO, lots of Americans do not know how good a government they have. In addition, aren't we the ones who ultimately decide what government we should/could have?
Tony, I had a front loader for 10 yrs that served me very well. When it came time to replace it, I didnt feel like buying pedistals for the washer/dryer to the tune of 3 grand for the set. I went with a HE TL, loved it at first till it flooded my house at 2 yrs old due to a bad water pump. Then it started ripping my sheets up. If budget was not and issue, Id have a FL, but the speed queen has surpassed my expetations in every way! I used to say I would never go back to a TL, now I am adding katsup to my words and eating them LOL. You will be seriously happy with your purchase. Wth a 3 yr warrante to boot at no extra cost.
TonyV45: "Top load He washers just don't seem to turn the clothes over enough and front loaders just didn't seem to use enough water to do a good job of cleaning based on what i saw."
We are on our fourth front-load automatic washer spanning 75 years and two full generations (since my parents were first married in the mid-1930s); the first three machines lasted an average of about 25 years each, and each of them used much, much more water per load than our current Samsung '419 does. But, despite using only a fraction of the water of its predecessors, our new energy-efficient washer gets our laundry every bit as clean as -- cleaner, in fact, than -- the earlier-generation washers. You do not need much water at all if you can put the clothes through it often enough. The trade-off, in other words, is not cleanliness -- that has improved -- but cycle times, which are much longer with the energy-efficient machines.
As an aside, I agree completely with azmom's sentiments about the gratuitous whining about governmental regulation that sometimes shows up here (and which, trust me, azmom, is far from universally shared among Americans). One suspects that there is an agenda underlying the comments that is not fact-based, but borrowed uncritically from mass media ideologues.
Another extremely happy Speed Queen owner here. I have the AWN542 model purchased in May '12. I LOVE this washing machine! When my old Whirlpool finally bit the dust, I was appalled at the choices out there ... what a bunch of over-designed, cheaply made JUNK. After much searching online, I heard about the Speed Queen and found a small appliance dealer in my area that carried it. I'd already seen everything else out there, so I didn't hesitate to say SOLD as soon as I saw it. It wasn't cheap ($830 OTD), but it is a good, solid, simple, machine that is built to last and it doesn't have a bunch of electronic do-dads that I don't need or want. It also has a 3-year warranty. The Speed Queen is an awesome washer!
"Hmmm? When using a speed queen a wash cycle runs about 35-40 mins? How long does it take to dry a full load of laundry?"
I don't have the Speed Queen dryer, but clothes washed in the SQ washer on the regular cycle dry in about 30 minutes in my Whirlpool gas dryer set on low heat. Clothes washed on the gentle cycle come out of the washer somewhat wetter, but I haven't noticed them taking any longer to dry ... I do tend to do smaller loads when using the gentle cycle, though.
"Hmmm? When using a speed queen a wash cycle runs about 35-40 mins? How long does it take to dry a full load of laundry?"
I feel the drying duration is shorter since we spend much less time to finish weekly laundery, but I have never actually timed and compared the durations. As I mentioned before SQ dryer is quiet, so far it has not ruined any of our clothes. Everything comes out dry and nice. Towels, rugs and fleeces come out fluffy and wonderful.
I believe Speed Queen is getting more popular, especially with so many overpriced,underperforming, poorly designed and cheaply constructed laundry room gizmos on the market.
When our previous washer was dying, we started researching for washer and dryer. At the time there were only 3 SQ deals in the area. 6 months later; we had 5 more dealers, we purchased ours from one down the street.
GregRod, I and other Speed Queen owners are here to share our personal experiences as consumers. We are not here to challenge others' choices, or sell the products.
From your other post, I learned that you paid less than $700 for a machine that satisfies your perceived value, more power to you.
To me, as well as many happy Speed Queen owners, we are convinced that Speed Queen washer is a simple machine, it is built with quality material to last, it provides easy operations and great performance. It saves time and work for us.
The washer and dryer come with outstanding warranty, after sale support and track record. We believe the price we paid is well worth it.

I Paid 840.00 for my speed queen AWN542 on Jan 16, 2013 and let me tell you, it has been worth EVERY penny! It cleans as well as my Kenmore He3t front loader did. I have noticed a 10-15 min increase in drying times on heavy loads such as towels or jeans. I do not have a SQ dryer, I have a LG dryer that matches the waveforce washer. I never thought I would be sold on a tradtional TL again, but I was so wrong for so many reasons.
I am not trying to challenge or sell. To each his own. However, I am here to share my experiencece as well. I am sure Speed Queen makes a good product, but I think that others should know how other machines work as well.
This is not a speed queen forum, but many just express their models as ones to buy while saying everything else is junk. People should know about different models by people who use the washer instead of a simple..oh HE washers are horrid and have strange doodads that no one wants.
That was my point on the other post.
Sorry if I ruffled feathers...
GregRod, my apologies for using the term "junk" in my previous post. Of course other people are happy with their HE washers. In fact, I am the only person I know personally who has a Speed Queen (but I'm also the only person I know who raves about their washing machine!). I don't find bells and whistles to be attractive features in appliances, but I do realize that I am in the minority. I was just trying to make point that there is a lot to be said for a simple appliance that is very well made, but I should not have knocked everything else in attempting to make that point. I will reiterate though, that I was very happy to have stumbled across the Speed Queen during my search because it was exactly the kind of washer that I was hoping to find and I was afraid I was going to get stuck with buying something that I didn't want or like.
Been seeing pretty much the same questions asked here for the past 10 years that I have visited. Every year a new model and a new manufacturer is favored and they all end up with enemies in due time. Miele not so much but even this holy grail of washers has had its complaints especially US models.
I still use my Maytag Neptune and dont plan on replacing it. I have enough parts to keep it going till Im dead. I just like the machines and they do a fine job in the laundry department and you get all the water you need to do the job and good and hot is good and hot when I need it.
The more you learn about self maintenance and the more you learn about proper laundering techniques the long you will own your machine.
Naturally there will always be lemons of every brand. You are the greatest key to longevity overall though.
Another Speed Queen owner checking in. We have the front loading washer & dryer.
After two years of using them, I can recommend them because:
1) Quality Products (Very Heavy & Tank like con-
2) Short washing cycles (50 minutes or less).
3) No repair issues.
4) Clean clothes, not knotted up, coming out the washer.
What's not to like?
Have been washing loads with the Whirlpool Cabrio top load machine for a month. It is an amazing washing machine. Washes the load using less detergent, takes about 45 minutes for a good sized load, uses much less water, and is fairly quiet. No complaints on the condition of the load when it comes out....I recommend this washing machine.
PS - the dryer is also amazing
I have a Cabrio that is now six years old and is at the point to replace the control panel for the second time with repeated F1 codes. The first panel was faulty at delivery and now it happens again. Dark cloths never rinse well and the machine has ruined six fairly new long sleeve shirts as they were ripped at the seam at the underarm area no matter what cycle and speed I use. Other than that, it has been a great machine (insert humor), No problems with the dryer.
Time to move on and it looks like SQ is my best option. I am not interested in a FL as my laundry room configuration would make it difficult to fit them in and open the door leading to the garage. I do not have much laundry to do (four loads every two weeks) so the additional cost for water consumption is not as important as buying a machine that will actually last and I do not curse at on laundry day.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
June 3, 2012 85 Comments
After a lazy day yesterday of just being at the pool and not having anything else on the itinerary, we decided to do some sightseeing in Pisa, a place whose claim to fame is its leaning tower. It's a case of "been there, done that" kind of thing that we can cross off our lists of what to see in Tuscany.
Pisa was about an hour's drive from Pelagaccio (40+ kilometers with about 20 kilometers on secondary road and the rest was through the highway). The trip took us a bit longer because I got distracted by the sight of sunflower fields with the perfect backdrop and wanted to take some pictures. Unfortunately, the fields that I saw were not accessible, being barricaded by road blocks. Another time I'll be lucky!
When we reached Pisa, the temperature was hitting the 40's (Celsius) so it was not so pleasant to go around exploring an unfamiliar place with a very young child. My father-in-law Dad couldn't stand crowds and busy places, my mom-in-law couldn't stand the heat and was prone to hyperventilation.
We found a parking area which was pretty close, about 2 blocks away from the Torre Pendente (the Leaning Tower). I had mixed emotions in seeing the tower with my own eyes for the first time. It was like stepping into a dream because I never thought that I would even see this place for real. What came to mind was a story in my high school science class of Galileo conducting an experiment of dropping two objects of different mass from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to test his theory of gravity.
The tower was not as high as those other towers where I´ve been but the leaning was very obvious. What was striking about the place itself was the amazing contrast of all the elements – the tower and the duomo were all built from white marble that glistened against the blue sky creating an amazing picture.
Pisa was extremely busy with many people all wanting to execute poses of either holding off the tower from leaning further or of holding the tower from top to bottom in their hands. I tried to do the same but wasn´t very good at it as you can see from my pictures. My father-in-law won´t do that pose either but my mom-in-law did her own version.
After the photoshoot with the tower in the background, we decided to see the interior of the duomo. Unfortunately, we needed to first get entry tickets which were being sold at the museum about 100 meters away. Hubby went to get the tickets while we waited in the shade at the church entrance.
The interior of the duomo was impressive with those frescoes, paintings and murals that really told much of its history. Francesca loved it being inside the duomo although she also did naughty stuffs — jumping, talking too loud, pointing at things she found interesting and climbing the pews. It was very strict there when it came to the dress code – visitors who were deemed inappropriately dressed such as women in sleeveless blouses and plunging necklines were asked to put on the light blue blouses that can cover their naked arms and cleavages.
After the church visit, it was time for lunch. We found a restaurant nearby where we can rest our tired feet and chill out after the exasperating heat outside. The menu was simple and the prices were reasonable considering that the restaurant location was a typical tourist trap. Hubby and his mom opted for pizza, Dad for tuna sandwich, the little girl had her fries with fried eggs sunny side up and I settled for the grilled shrimps and squid on a bed of salad. I truly enjoyed my meal especially as I can dissect and suck the shrimp heads Pinoy style with gusto. Lunch was capped with some cappuccino and of course, tiramisu which was really yummy. The bottom was an ice cream, again a different version from the tiramisu that I´ve eaten before.
Then it was time to head back to Pelagaccio as the little girl needed her afternoon nap for we had an invite for the pasta party at Diacceroni in the afternoon.

BiographyChung was selected following a national search for a physician-scientist to lead our translational and clinical research efforts in head and neck cancer. Previously, Chung was a faculty member at Vanderbilt University in the Division of Hematology and Oncology.
In addition to her role with our Upper Aerodigestive cancer program, Chung will work closely with investigators in our Viral Oncology program, where she will have a second, formal programmatic appointment.
Her research involves both laboratory translational and clinical investigation. A major focus of her laboratory research has been the study of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal transduction and the mechanisms of resistance to EGFR inhibitors in the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). Chung also has focused on the roles of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the etiology of HNC. She has been a PI or co-PI of several completed and ongoing clinical trials.
She is co-chair of the Correlative Science and Translational Research Program of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and she holds a similar leadership position on the Head and Neck Cancer Correlative Science and Translational Research Committee of the RTOG. Chung is a member of the Tumor Biology and Imaging Task Force for the Head and Neck Cancer Steering Committee of the National Cancer Institute.
Chung received a B.S. from UCLA, masters from Johns Hopkins, and her M.D. from Eastern Virginia Medical School. She entered the Physician-Scientist Research Pathway at UNC Chapel Hill where she completed combined Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology Fellowship and postdoctoral training in laboratory research under the mentorship of Charles Perou in 2004.

Selected PublicationsResearch Summary
Dr. Chungs research involves both basic science and clinical/translational investigations. Her laboratory research primarily is focused on investigation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal transduction and understanding the mechanisms of resistance to EGFR inhibitors in the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). She also studies the role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and transforming growth factor-beta signaling in resistance to EGFR inhibition in HNC. In addition, she is investigating molecularly targeted approaches to treat patients with human papillomavirus-associated HNC in order to develop less toxic but effective agents. She applies the laboratory findings to develop phase I/II trials and correlative studies of novel anti-cancer treatments.

One good thing about Wayland is that targeting EGL drivers with the FOSS ones will be much easier than GLX and X support. Hopefully it means more rapid adoption of key GPU features in the free drivers, but the current lack of documentation about how Nvidia / AMD gpus work from the manufacturers means its hard to implement key components.
What I'd really like to see is open design documents about the most modern classes of gpus so FOSS develoers (hell, I'd probably try to contribute) could actually get reasonable acceleration and feature parity in the FOSS ones.

The Great Wall of China (Jiankou Great Wall / 箭扣长城)
I came, I climbed, I conquered (despite multiple mishaps and bodily injuries*).
I can't think of any words to describe The Great Wall of China. It's simply beyond words. I was utterly speechless when I reached the top.
Click on the picture above to take a virtual tour of one of the world's greatest ancient wonders. Enjoy!

Can't wait to see your photos! It looks beautiful!
wow! that's a beautiful pic!
That is an amazing place, I must go there at least once in my life.
That is absolutely great! I was at Simatai 2 years ago and loved it… it is incredible!
Your pics are amazing…I visit your site looking forward to pic's now!
guess one must be there to feel the whole picture
i haven't been to the great wall of china yet. one of my dream place to go.
hope to see more pictures from you soon.
Wow! What a view! Wish I could be there!
I'm puffing and totally out of breath. :)
I've climbed it twice. It's a lot of fun. You're breathless when you get to the top, but when you do catch your breath, the thrill just makes you want to sing and shout at the top of your lungs :)
How long (distance and time) was the walk? And why were there bodily injuries? Will wait for your photos.
You must be having fun there!
Cool! My parents visit China recently and climbed it as well. My mom said the grade was really steep, like climbing a mountain.
Fantastic photos- looks like an amazing experience. What application/service did you use to put together that slideshow?
Wok and Spoon – I just posted my photos, hope you like them.
Cooking Ninja – Thanks.
Gazard – You must!
Orchidea – I heard Simatai is the most challenging hike. I don't think I can survive it since I felt 4 times on this. LOL.
Meeso – thanks for your kind words. Pictures posted. :)
Techkiee – yes, the pictures don't do any justice.
Lucia – I hope you go there soon and see the Great Wall for yourself.
Bayi – go go fast.
Cynthia – exactly…it's very scenic and beautiful.
Nate 2.0 – yep, although I didn't yell my lungs out as I was in agony for my bodily pain.
Tiga – I didn't track, but it felt forever since I am not much a hiker. Maybe 4 hours (or more) in total up and down.
Big Boys – yes, I did have fun.
CP – it was steep at certain places…it was more like rock climbing instead of hiking.
Mr. T – yes, it was an amazing experience. I use Lightbox 2.0 for the photos.
Told you to hold our hand u said no need. Next time plse v carry you up ! When we were in Beijing 2002 it was easier and yes the view was fantastic ( we saw a couple of Turks lurking u know )
Oh my gosh, you got me even more excited!! I'm booked for Beijing first week of Nov. :) I can't wait! I'm off to look at your photos.
Well done ! You are so brave and adventurous! These are great pictures of the Great Wall! Which reminds me… I should go through my India pictures and post some. Having read this I thought it was rather informative. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it! In return, I also found a great blog of Jinshanling travel tips, I'd love to share it here with you and for future travelers. http://www.wildgreatwall.com/how-difficult-is-it-to-do-great-wall-one-day-hike-from-jinshanling-to-simatai-west/

Organ Transplantation and the development of a Deceased Organ Transplantation Network
Dr Furlonge was delivering the feature address on behalf of the Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan at a media conference hosted by REPSOL on organ transplantation and the development of a deceased organ transplantation network in Trinidad and Tobago. The media conference was held on Friday 6th July 2012 at the Hyatt Regency. Dr Furlonge noted ŌĆ£The next step in the development of a comprehensive National Transplant Program is to develop a robust deceased donor program to compliment living organ donation. The success of such a program requires the support of the entire population, as citizens have to be prepared to become organ donorsŌĆØ.
It is in light of this, in October 2011, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago partnered with the Donation and Transplantation Institute (DTI), a non-profit organization founded in Barcelona, to initiate the project ŌĆśOrgan Donation and Transplant Network for Trinidad and TobagoŌĆÖ. REPSOL has sponsored the training of doctors from within the public health sector at DTI.
The objectives of this project are:
v Improve and develop the organ donation and transplantation process, thereby increasing the number of organ donations that occur, particularly for deceased donation;
v Improve on the professional skills of physicians and transplant coordinators in the public health system and the National Organ Transplant Unit via training and education
v Familiarize health professionals about donation and transplantation so that they contribute to the development of the transplant network
To date three (3) local doctors have already participated in transplant coordination training and internship with DTI in Spain, and there are ongoing visits from expert transplant surgeons from Spain to meet with our local doctors, as part of this continuous transfer of knowledge and skills. Spain has the highest organ donation per capita in the world and is renowned for its expertise in this area.
Dr Furlong urged citizens to give the gift of life and become an organ donor. ŌĆ£Talk to your family members today about becoming an organ donor. A pledge by a person to donate his or her organs is indeed a great thingŌĆØ. Persons can sign up to become a registered organ donor by calling the 800-DONOR Line, or going online at the Health MinistryŌĆÖs website, www.health.gov.tt.
Mr. Luis Pollo, RepsolŌĆÖs Business Unit Director shared that REPSOL believes itŌĆÖs their responsibility to help improve the quality of life in the communities in which they operate, hence the decision to approach the Health Ministry for their sponsorship of the training of local doctors in organ transplantation.
Dr Lesley Roberts, Director of the MinistryŌĆÖs National Organ Transplant Unit (NOTU) told the attendees that there were 675 persons currently on dialysis in Trinidad and Tobago due to kidney failure. However when a personŌĆÖs kidneys fail, there are two treatment options - dialysis or organ transplantation. But having a person dependent on dialysis for life is not the optimum situation. Kidney transplantation is the best option for a person to live a healthy and productive life. Dr Roberts indicated that 87 kidney transplants were done by NOTU since 2007 allowing these persons to live their life to the fullest and do all the things they could not do on dialysis.
Dr Maria Paula of DTI spoke at length on why they were excited to work with Trinidad and Tobago. ŌĆ£We felt that Trinidad and Tobago is in a great position to develop a sustainable deceased organ donor network. There are trained human resources and hospitals with the structure and facilities already in place for organ transplantation. We targeted the Port of Spain and San Fernando General Hospitals for the pilot because of the high potential for organ transplantation there. Trinidad has everything in place to develop transplantation.ŌĆØ
Dr Bridgit Elcock, a Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at the Port of Spain General Hospital and one of the local doctors who went to Spain for training, spoke about her experience and the progress of the project since returning. She indicated that the training in Spain consists of 1 week of intense training, followed by 1 month of an internship at a hospital working under several highly experienced transplant surgeons. Since her return to Trinidad they have been able to identify 81 potential donors from patients who died from cardiac arrest and severe neurological complications such as strokes. Dr Elcock noted that the organs from these 81 persons could have helped so many other Trinidadians if we already had a vibrant deceased organ donor network in place.
Dr Bernadette Theodore-Gandi, PAHO/WHO Country Representative agreed with Dr Paula that Trinidad and Tobago is poised to be extremely successful at developing a robust organ transplantation service and noted that they were pleased to facilitate this international cooperation and will continue to support the project. PAHO/WHO will be inviting a team from Uruguay to do some further work with the local doctors

St. Johnsbury's center of commerce and industry are not far from the railroads and rivers that were the engines of the local economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its location and the success of companies like Fairbanks Scales helped make St. Johnsbury prosperous. The local gentry funded and built numerous cultural and education institutions and fine homes that exist today as a testament to the town's history.
St. Johnsbury has two distinct areas that comprise the downtown. Railroad Street, which parallels the railroad, is a commercial district with a number of distinctive and historic buildings storefronts, offices, and apartments.
Main Street, a short distance up Eastern Avenue, is a broad, nearly three-quarter-mile long boulevard. This Historic District contains many grand homes, several beautiful churches, plus the elegant St. Johnsbury Athenaeum (pictured), a National Historic Landmark library and gallery; the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, a classic museum of natural history; and St. Johnsbury Academy, a unique public/private secondary school with an attractive campus.
Several attractive buildings also grace Eastern Avenue, the thoroghfare connecting Railroad Street and Main Street. These include Catamount Arts located in the historic Masonic Temple, and a collection of older building converted to office and commercial use. The downtown district features several architectural highlights including the historic Pomerleau building, a former train station now serving as the Welcome Center. In addition, downtown has film venues, multiple dining options and many retailers.

A person buys a frame from one individual and buys the rest of the components from someone else or purchases all the components and assembles the parts so the finished product will resemble a factory Porsche, Harley Davidson, Shelby, antique vehicle, etc.
The vehicle owner will need to provide the DMV with the following; this may require more than one visit:
The finished vehicle must be inspected by a peace officer or a DMV-CSR. The vehicle title will reflect the make as "SPCN," the model year will be the year of completion and the model will be the "make code" on the MSO. The vehicle will also need to be issued a Utah Official ID number by the DMV office; this will need to be installed as directed by the DMV staff, then inspected by a police officer, DMV-CSR, or certified safety inspector.
All the components are purchased in a kit similar to a model car (including the frame). The applicant will need to provide to the DMV; this may require more than one visit:
The vehicle must be inspected by a peace officer or by the DMV-CSR prior to titling. On the title, the make of the vehicle will reflect the make on the MSO, year will be the year of completion and the model will be "replica." The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) listed on Form TC-656, Application For Utah Title will be the number on the chassis MSO, if that number is a 17-digit conforming number issued by the manufacturer.

When people think of Archie Manning, they think football. But Archie's appeal transcends his athletic achievements. People far and wide have been inspired by his warm personality, his drive and sense of humor.
Archie was born May 19, 1949, in Drew, Mississippi. He attended the University of Mississippi where he was named an All-American Quarterback and his number is retired. He was voted Mississippi's Greatest All-Time Athlete in 1992, and was named Mississippi's Most Popular Athlete of the Century. He was elected to the 50-Year All-South Team (1940-1990), named one of the Top 25 Athletes of the Century in Louisiana and he and his son Peyton were named among the 100 All-Time Greatest College Football Players. Archie was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame and is a member of other Halls of Fame including Louisiana and Mississippi.
In 1971, Archie was the second player chosen in the NFL draft – the number one draft choice of the New Orleans Saints. He set Saints passing records, played in two Pro Bowls and was named the NFC Most Valuable Player in 1978. He was the first player in Saints history to be inducted into the Louisiana Superdome Wall of Fame. He concluded his 15-year career in 1985. He was also drafted four times by major league baseball.

mesh office chair
Office Chair Review: Humanscale Diffrient World Ergonomic Task Chair
Humanscale Diffrient World Ergonomic Task Chair - Tested and Tried and Neocon 2009.
Scheduled Release Date: August 2009.
Estimated MSRP: Starting at $750.00
What we thought:
Elegant and simple. Humanscale told us that was the goal with the chair, and it seems they have mostly achieved this. Like true Humanscale fashion, the World Chair, designed by famous Humanscale designer Niels Diffrient, the chair is ridiciously simple to adjust - only height adjustment and a seat slider are available, but for most users, it's only what is needed.
The Bad:
Before I get into how great of a chair is was, let me go over what I felt was the not so lovely element of the chair - the lumbar. As with the Liberty, the mesh is very nice, and very conforming, however, it does not provide adequate lumbar support for people with lumbar issues. It certainly won't be causing any lumbar pain for non-sufferers, but it won't be solving any chronic back problems either. But that is to be expected when a chair, especially a task chair, is designed to fit a large majority of the populace.
The Good:
Despite the lumbar issue for a lower back pain sufferer like myself, I did find the chair overwhelmingly comfortable. It did fit me right, and I'd be able to sit in it comfortable for 8 hours a day (if I committed to interval periods of back stretches, which is not a bad thing). The mesh, as previously mentioned, is the Libery mesh, which is comfortable, soft, and springy. The front egde on the seat takes the waterfall front seat style to a new level - there is no frame on the front edge of the seat, meaning there is absolutely no pressure on the thighs - this is a great thing. The seat can also be upholstered to match the look of the Liberty, as well.
The backrest pivots, meaning that it has motion within the recline motion itself of the chair. This essentially means your back will never be in a static position, a key factor in Humanscale's treatment of ergonomics, and a nice feature indeed. The armrests are attached to said backrest, so they move with the chair's recline motion and match the overall style of the frame, which comes with fixed arms, adjustable arms or no arms options.
Speaking of the frame, it comes in black or white, the latter which looks very contemporary yet art deco - stylish and sleek, to say the least.
As an added bonus, the chair weighs a measly 25 punds, and that is a good thing. It is easily movable and adjustable, and wieghs less using 97% recycable content, meaning it is very green. Despite its slim profile, the chair can hold users up to 300 lbs - considering most task chairs only rate up to 250 lbs and weigh twice as much, that is also a very good thing!
Overall, the chair is a winner. When judging and reviewing any chair, we take into account the value of said chair, namely, what do you get for what you pay for? After all, that is the most important thing with a chair. The Humanscale Diffrient World Chair, while not cheap, does represent a great value proposition in the high end seating market. Compared with other ergonomic office chairs in its class range, the Diffrient world chair looks to be in a world of its own!
Office Chair Review: Inertia Mesh High Back Chair
1. Stylish Mesh colors to go with Fabrics.
2. Thick, plush padded seat.
3. Many additional options available!
The Thorough Review:
The Inertia is a great line of chairs. Within the family of Inertia Mesh Office Chairs, you will find the reviewed high back, the mid back, the executive, and side chairs. Really, the Inertia has a mesh chair for any need, allowing to any user to completely customize their office space to look contemporary and matching with one product line. As a bonus, the Inertia can be upholstered in various different mesh finishes, which greatly enhances the options one can have with the chair, as opposed to the more conventional and not as fun black mesh.
The Inertia Mesh High Back Chair looks simple. It is clean and elegant and modern, but that doesn't mean it limits itself in comfort or ergonomic capability. The chair features a built in passive lumbar support, meaning the back (which is highly durable polyester mesh wrapped around a steel tubular frame) is contoured at the lumbar region to provide a built in support structure for the lumbar.
The chair also features various add-ons/upgrades that provide for a more ergonomic sit. The chair can be outfitted with a seat slider, and the seat can be created with Memory Foam for extra soft comfort. As well, with 3 different arm options, you can choose the arms that suit your needs best, whether it be standard arms, or fully rotating arms!
Overall, this is a very modern and stylish chair that does not leave comfort behind. It combines all these features in a very nice package as a high quality, mid priced ergonomic office chair!
The Ratings:
A very durable chair from a very durable company. Rated for 325 lbs, and with a lifetime warranty.
Nothing flashy. Up, down, seat slider, infinite tilt lock. Just enough for anyone to adjust and everyone to be comfortable.
One of the nicest looking chairs we've seen...Very stylish and modern and the optional mesh colors make the chair customizable to any color scheme!
Overall Rating (Not an average):
Kinda wish it had an adjustable lumbar support, but as far as modern chairs go, it is one of a kind. Perfect for management applications where a common style is necessary - a chair that will have everyone sitting in comfort and style.

Office Chair Review: Cherryman Respond 3.1
1. Sleek, modern design with chrome accents
2. Ergonomic knee tilt with seat slider
3. Leather seat and nice mesh back
The Thorough Review:
The Cherryman Respond 3.1 Mesh Office Chair with Leather seat is a very nice modern mesh chair. Not fully mesh, it features a thick leather seat that complements the mesh back nicely. It adds both style and comfort to the chair, and, with the chrome base and accents, combine to make a high end, luxury modern office chair at at mid-market price.
Featuring a seat slider, back height adjustment, and a 2:1 ergonomic knee tilt mechanism, the chair features all the ergonomic necessities to more than appropriately qualify as a quality ergonomic chair. It has an adjustable lumbar support and height and width adjustable arms too, covered in a "Soft Touch" polyurethane armpad.
The back height is tall enough to be able to pass as a modern managers chair, or low enough to work capably as a task chair in an modern environment. The chair sits nice. The aforementioned leather seat is not plush, but rather a tad firm - just how you want a good ergonomic task chair to be. The back mesh is nice, as it conforms well to majority of users and is firm enough to provide ample upper and lower back support. It's breathability is nice too. Overall, the Cherryman Respond 3.1 is a stylish and very modern ergonomic office chair for any office environment.
The Ratings:
The chair fits well. The mid-back with its ratched back ensures most people will fit well in it. It is only rated up to 250 lbs though.
Very adjustable. Has most every ergonomic adjustment needed.
It is a good looking chair. That's the bottom line. Clean lines and nice design.
Overall Rating (Not an average):
Overall, a good ergonomic chair. Competes at a great price point. The relative inexperience of the manufacturer in the chair business (they've done desks for years) gives us pause where longevity is concerned, but the chair features a good warranty.

Mesh Office Chairs are the Right Decision
If you find yourself spending more and more time in your office chair, do you feel yourself growing warmer as the day moves forward? Are you wishing you hadn't worn that sweater to the office? Well, turn around and look at the chair. If you haven't done so already, it might be easier to stand to do this. Is it a fabric other than mesh? If so, you should seriously consider making a change. There are all types of mesh chairs now-a-days. From an executive mesh chair to mesh office chairs for the receptionist, assistant, staff, or whoever sits for long periods of time, can certainly benefit from these cooler 'fabrics.'
Cutting back on a piece of equipment you or your employees spend so much time with, is not forward thinking. A serious lack of focus can occur when someone is uncomfortable, and the staff member is up all the time stretching, or possibly even dealing with physical ailments directly resulting from having to sit in an uncomfortable chair. Injuries like this can occur more often than not now-a-days. If you are not placing the right amount of finances to your seating, you're probably making a mistake.
If you're thinking the price of mesh office chairs are expensive then you should consider that mesh chairs don't remind you how long your day is and they also last for many years. If you spread the cost, or amortize the cost, of the chair out over a ten or more year period, you'd see the cost actually associated with a mesh chair is not so expensive after all. Mesh office chairs, depending on factors like model, size and advanced features will influence the cost, but they can range roughly between $200-$500.
Mesh chairs meet a variety of tastes with countless models and colors. With the assortment from leather grid, deluxe, matrix, and an array of colors, the right mesh chair can provide the utmost comfort during the long work day.

Osho,How is it possible that by simply becoming aware at a particular point in the breathing process one can attain enlightenment? How it is possible to become free from the unconscious by just being aware of such a small and momentary gap in the breathing?
This question is significant, and this question is likely to have occurred to many minds, so many things have to be understood. First, it is thought that spirituality is a difficult attainment. It is neither: that is, it is neither difficult nor an attainment. Whatsoever you are, you are already spiritual. Nothing new is to be added to your being, and nothing is to be discarded from your being; you are as perfect as possible. It is not that you are going to be perfect sometime in the future, it is not that you have to do something arduous to be yourself. It is not a journey to some other point somewhere else; you are not going somewhere else. You are already there. That which is to be attained is already attained. This idea must go deep, only then will you be able to understand why such simple techniques can help.
If spirituality is some attainment, then of course it is going to be difficult - not only difficult, but really impossible. If you are not already spiritual, you cannot be, you never can be, because how can one who is not spiritual be spiritual? If you are not divine already then there is no possibility, there is no way. And no matter what effort you will make, effort made by one who is not already divine cannot create divinity. If you are not divine, your effort cannot create divinity. Then it is impossible.
But the whole situation is totally opposite: you are already that which you want to attain. The end of longing is already there, present in you. Here and now, this very moment, you are that which is known as divine. The ultimate is here; it is already the case. That is why simple techniques can help. It is not an attainment, but a discovery. It is hidden, and it is hidden in very, very small things.
The persona is just like clothes. Your body is here, hidden in clothes; in the same way your spirituality is here, hidden in certain clothes. These clothes are your personality. You can be naked just here and now, and in the same way you can be naked in your spirituality also. But you do not know what the clothes are. You do not know how you are hidden in them; you do not know how to be naked. You have been in clothes so long - for lives and lives and lives you have been in clothes - and you have been so identified with the clothes, that now you do not think that these are clothes. You think these clothes are you. That is the only barrier.

Will the Lima driver leverage Gallium3D?
Phoronix: Lima Driver Makes Progress With Shaders
The open-source Lima driver project that has been working on a reverse-engineered ARM Mali Linux graphics driver is still advancing...
Will the Lima driver leverage Gallium3D?
Another reason why we need Mir.
So we DO NOT need Mir for that.
And if Lima come out as superior driver to binary blob, that Canonical will use it, not the official driver.
Ofc. Mir will have a choice. Weston lack backend for android binary blobs (right now).
anyways, I think the arm driver situation isn't as bleak as that. There is reverse engineering work going on with nearly all of the of the embedded gpu's. Which is infinitely better than the situation a little over a year ago. I guess in 6-12months, maybe less, we are seeing working mesa drivers for lima/vivante/tegra (and there is already one for adreno). ofc, we will be playing catch-up until some of the gpu vendor's realize that it is a good idea to support the open src driver work (like intel/amd). And once the current generation gpus are supported, it will get easier for generation n+1. But the situation is improving. For example, nvidia/tegra folks working together with the community on drm/kms driver and releasing code for the 2d part. It is a baby-step, but a step nonetheless.
thanks to gallium, that is with gl/glx, which the proprietary driver can't even do.
Most of the others are still in more of a research phase, rather than actual gl driver. But at least two of them (vivante and lima) have figured out enough of the workings of the GPU to actually start on gl driver, so I think you'll start to see a lot more visible progress in the coming months.

Sweet and Sour Crab Claws
Recently, I have been in high gear working on my cookbook, developing recipes, cooking, food styling, and shooting. I work on my cookbook almost every day and my life has been consumed by it, pretty much! The good news is that the list of to-do recipes are getting shorter by the day. I have given myself a hard deadline of June 1st to finish cooking the dishes so I have three months to work on the writing and miscellaneous stuff. (My deadline is September 1st!).
It's really not easy, especially I am also tasked with food styling and photography. My creative juice has been sucked dry right about now because of it—every single dish needs a different composition, mood, props, and styling, which is the toughest part for me. I am quite pleased with the results so far and I am sure you will, too. The food in the cookbook all look delicious and the food photography is quite different from what you see here on Rasa Malaysia, a completely different style which is more refined, professional, and cookbook-worthy…
Anyway, I disgress.
I got some crab claws yesterday for a recipe on the cookbook and had some leftover. I also had a leftover beaten egg from the egg wash. So, I made sweet and sour crab claws, with the egg, ala Singapore chili crab-style. Since my crab claws were frozen, they lack the natural sweetness. The sauce is great nonetheless. If you have a fresh crab, this sweet and sour crab recipe will shine. And I am sure you have noticed, I haven't styled my blog food photography lately. Gotta save the creative mojo for the cookbook!

Great Recipe! Going to try this at home!! Been eating lots of crabs in chinese restaurants…slurp!!
I was also working like mad…everyday…but I was happy in a way to have total control of how I want to manage my time :D …now I am busy with corrections. Your cookbook 很值得期待.
Where do you get crab-claws only? Do the stores sell them this way?
I miss chilli crab. And good luck on the book. Can't wait to see it.
Drooool! Thanks for sharing Bee! Thats exactly how i usually cook it too :-)
Bee, this looks beautifully styled and delicious to me. I admire how you stick to deadlines, I have to learn that. Can't wait to see your cookbook.
Delicious! Reminds me of restaurant or banquet food…which is a very good thing :)
What kind of chili sauce? American catsup-y chili sauce? sambal oelek? or some sort of Chinese chili sauce? pls. respond! thanks, JudyC
loved to eat this wid toasts!
This looks like a great recipe, I can not wait to try it.
The crab claws look so dramatic, and the sauce sounds delicious!
I am Malaysian. We are going to San Diego and LA end of June from Alabama. Would u recommend some nice restaurant In these areas?
Yummy recipe, Bee. Will try it with the whole crab cos I can't find crab claws.
May your creative juices flow (which I'm sure it will) for your book. Bet it's going to be fabulous, and make all of us proud :)
Hi BY, great news to hear you have a cookbook coming out. I will be your greatest fan. Will I be able to purchase it in Malaysia? I understand coming out with a cookbook is not an easy task at all. I am currently writing my e-recipe book and it is only half way through. I started in November last year. Nevertheless, I always believe doing what you like best is the most satisfying job one can ever find. All the best … let those creative juices flow!
Hi! Do you think I can substitute prawns for the crabs? :) hope to hear from you asap.. thanks! :)
