Airport x-ray for 2,000 year old urn
Wednesday 10 February 2010
Staff from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) have visited Exeter Airport and used airport x-ray equipment to see inside a 2,000 year old urn found during a recent dig in Cullompton.
A vessel too big for the museum's x-ray machine was brought to Exeter International Airport on 10 February and security staff used the state-of-the-art cabin baggage x-ray equipment to scan the vessel and examine its contents.
The x-ray confirmed the vessel was used to contain cremated human remains for burial and Kirstie Williams (pictured) will now excavate the find. The soil in the urn contained a mass of dense material thought to be ash from the cremation and near the bottom of the vessel were several mysterious 'curved' shapes. These are thought to be larger fragments of bone, or possibly metal objects.
The discovery of the vessel happened during construction work in central Cullompton. A Roman fort at St Andrews Hill in Cullompton, which was abandoned around the mid-70s AD, was discovered in 1984. This new discovery is evidence that the Roman's occupation was much more extensive and continued from the 1st century until the late 4th century. The excavation has revealed a large quantity of pottery and given tantalising glimpses of evidence that there was a Romanised building with a hypocaust (under-floor central heating) and stone floors nearby. There are very few known Romanised buildings in Devon outside of Exeter.

Didnt stay in a hotel, we just just crashed.
There are tonnes of Hotels and places to stay in Broome, and tonnes of friendly people who are happy to let you crash, if they like your face that is. My mate and I met a guy who let us crash in his house full of surfers and sand. It was a laugh. We all sat out in the back at night smoking and watching the Fruit Bats flying into the tree above our heads.

Middle Lagoon: Best View of the Stars
For those looking to explore pristine landscapes of Dampier Penninsula, but not with 300 other people at once, Middle Lagoon is a gem of a campsite. Shady spots available near the beach (included two beach huts), showers, incredible stargazing. Stunning photos are to be had around sunrise, when you can also see the sting rays feeding the in the shallows (just walk slowly and they will get out of your way). Great fishing, whale watching, and seashell collecting are to be had as well.
Well run by a local aboriginal family, this campsite is one of the best I have seen on Dampier Penninsula. For even less company, avoid weekends and school holidays.

Moonlight Bay Quality Suites Broome: A great place to stay

Town beach campground.: Cheap as chips
The last month i was in Broome i stayed in the Town Beach campground, needing to save some cash for further travels this was the cheaper option. The campground is really quite big and is a stones throw away from town beach. It is well looked after by manager Keith and he doesn`t let any trouble makers in so your in good hands if you decide to stay here.

Roebuck bay backpackers: Roey........
I lived in the RBB hostel for about 2 and half months, it was my second home. The hostel isn`t as flashy as the Kimberly club but is more centrally located and has a bottle shop next door and bar right on the side as well a large car park. You can also use the swimming pool at the Roebuck hotel if your staying here.
I found it to be a wonderful place to meet fellow backpackers and i made countless amount of friends here from backpackers to pearlers.

2 places
I stayed in 2 different places in Broome, first the Kimberley Klubb hostel. Its a little walk from town but very nice, but the rooms were bloody hot and just my luck, i shared a room with a couple who were shaggin each night!!!!(although i did walk in on them once in the day!, and she had a cracking pair of jubblies!).
So, I left there and went to the Roebuck Bay backpackers for just an amazing $7/nt!!!!!!! the dorms werent up to much but it had a kitchen and a tv room, all ya need!

banana pics in pa (image attached)
I've always been a big fan of hard to grow items, here are 2 pictures of my banana trees. Each in a different spot in the yard. These bananas have always been in pots and the 2 that you see are offshoots that I snipped away from the main banana tree that I purchased a few years ago. The reason that I decided to plant these outdoors is to see how big they can get in the ground. They have weathered a recent snow a few weeks ago and temps down close to 32 degrees. I have kept them covered with a heavy blanket at night for protection. Looking at weather.com, I see that we're in the clear for SW-PA. I have a 3rd banana plant in a pot, and will use suckers from that to re-plant year after year. I'm going to keep a photo log of monthly pictures to compare growth. As you can see from the banana pics, they are small and stubby. In the previous summers, they've been outside in pots. They tended to get very tall with few off-shoots. When bringing them in for the winter, they tend to sprout multiple off-shoots and growth rather stubbly, with each new leaf growing in before the other has attained sufficient height. Why this is, I have no idea. I've also watered them, after planting them outside with a good amount of fertilizer and use hot water via a hose connected to a spicket in the basement because of the colder nights. With the oncoming warmer weather, I don't think this will be necessary. Anyone care to take a stab at what kind of banana this is??? : )
Gardenguy, I've only had two varieties, one is the musa basjoos and the other had burgundy spotches on the leaves. I didn't want to bring in the burgundy in so I gave it to a nursery. This looks like the musa basjoos but I really don't have a clue. Maybe someone on the Banana Forum could identify.
This will be my third Summer with the basjoos. It's been planted in the ground since I got it. The first year it grew to about 5 feet tall. Last Summer it reached 7 or 8 feet tall. It's in a raised bed so it has good drainage, heats up early in the season and is even taller in the raised bed. There were 4 offshoots and 4 of the old stalks started to grow back from the center. I thought the old stalks had turned to mush like the previous year. Don't know if it's due to the past Winter weather, thicker mulch or more established root system that they started growing back at the centers. I chopped off most of the offshoots for neighbors and friends. I kept the main stalk and 1 offshoot. I'll try to remember to take a picture of what's left growing out back tomorrow.
I also grow Angelica archangelica, which looks like a giant celery plant. It looks a little jungley out there. Billie
Gardenguy, The picture is a little hard to see that the center is growing back. Last years stalk was about 5 or 6" so I'm wondering if this will grow to that size. Don't think that you can see but another offshoot popped up. Billie
Here is a link that might be useful:
I know each banana set has about 2 main stems and a few litle offshoots growing out of the main corm. These always get this way when I bring the banana in for the winter. I'll have a nice main stem, then that will die back for some reason while a multitude of stems grow up from around the main stem. The above pictures are what they looked like when I took them out of the pot. Since yesterday, we've had some warm weather, I can now see a new leaf from each plant has unfurled and grown out. The main stems are also pushing up again.
It's amazing what a warm day or two can do! My Basjoo is still inside but it's soaking up every sunny day and sprouting new leaves again. After this weekend I think it's going out for the season.... I just have to dig up a spot for it.
GGuy - I always have a similar experience with the dwarf cavendish, no matter how hard I try the main stem would never make it through the winter.
Check out this link:
According to the link,
Danger: Handling plant may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction.
What in the world is that all about?

Well, bookings must be very strong this spring because for the first time in many years, WDW is treating Memorial Day weekend as a holiday with extended hours.
The MK will be open three nights until midnight (with later than normal 10 and 11 p.m. closings the week before), which USED to be the traditional closing time for the start of the Florida summer season. Disney-MGM will remain open until 10 p.m. for the 3-day weekend and DAK will see three days of 8 p.m. closings. Sadly, Epcot will not (and likely will never see as long as Brad Rex keeps his job) see any extension in hours).
Overall, this is a great sign for visitors. The past few years saw 10 p.m. MK closings and even an E-Ride Night for Memorial Day itself last year. As someone who spent most Memorial weekends at WDW for the better part of 12 years, it's nice to see tradition returning. Extended hours on a holiday weekend should be a no-brainer.

Ducane versus Weber advice
HELP! I'm pulling my hair out over what shouldn't be too hard a decision. I am considering purchasing either a Weber Genesis Gold B or a Ducane 1305. They seems pretty much apples to apples in most categories (grill size, extras, price, etc.). I would like an objective, informed opinion (as much as is possible) on which is the better product. Right now I am leaning toward the Ducane.
Well I have never cooked on or owned a Ducane, but i have owned a Weber and I really liked my WEber. One of the things that I especially like was the way the burners lite, from front, centre and back, rather than one side or the other.
I loved to cook chicken on the weber. Placing the chicken in the middle and turning the middle burner off and just having the front and back burners going. Didn't need a rotissiere with this type of set up. And never had major flare ups. After a move to BC i was ready to upgrade and was talked into going with a DCS rather than the higher end weber, and as much as I love my DCS i know that i would have been happy with the WEber and it would have been less expensive.

SpeedFactory Challenger in a Supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT8 Grudge Match Drag Race
Mopars at the Strip is an annual MOPAR car show and Drag Race event held at
Las Vegas Motor Speedway every year. In 2009 SpeedFactory attended and
displayed our 600HP supercharged SpeedFactory Challenger - the first modern
Challenger to be supercharged. Next door to us was a supercharged
Challenger built by CDC/Group 2. The inevitable occurred - and Rob Wolf,
editor of Mopar Collector's Guide, did a "Pinks" style start for the grudge
match on the 1/4 mile drag strip. SpeedFactory driver Eddie Rosa emerged
victorious with a 1/4 time of 12.374 seconds at 112.66 mph, beating the
other car by 4/10 of a second.
The SpeedFactory Challenger has the Stage 3 Supercharger package, featuring a Vortech Supercharger at 5.5 lbs Boost, Hotchkis handling package, Magnaflow
catback Exhaust, and SpeedFactory
Signature package. Installed options include Richmond 3.55 gears and Boze
Tach style forged wheels. Everything else on the car is stock 2008 Dodge
Challenger SRT8. As shown in the video, the Challenger was on street tires.
On drags, the SpeedFactory Challenger runs in the 11s.
Thanks to our partners at Vortech Superchargers, Magnaflow Performance Exhaust, Richmond Gear and Boze Forged Wheels.

Carolina Panthers Observations: Kony Ealy's struggles, Tre Boston's tweak, Tavarres King's highlight catch, more
Observations from Tuesday's Carolina Panthers training camp practice at Wofford College:• Safety Tre Boston (sports hernia) practiced for the first time this camp but it didn't last long. Boston was carted off at the end of practice with a groin injury and later he said it "was just a little tweak."
• Rookie defensive end Kony Ealy struggled Tuesday. He was blocked consistently in one-on-one drills, including getting dominated by Byron Bell and later blocked to the ground by undrafted rookie Andrew Norwell.
• Receiver Tavarres King delivered the highlight of the day when he hauled in a 50-yard touchdown from Cam Newton during team drills. He beat safety Robert Lester in coverage.
• Cornerback Josh Thomas (back) practiced for the first time Tuesday after being on the non-football injury list during camp.
• There were no drops during punt return drills among Antoine Cason, Kenjon Barner and Philly Brown. The punts came off the feet of Brad Nortman and Jordan Gay and not a machine.
• Safety Colin Jones had a nice pass breakup on a hurried Derek Anderson throw. Jones has settled in nicely to his safety role after being primarily a special teams player last year.
• Kicker Graham Gano made a 60-yard field goal during practice. On the kick before it he made a 56-yarder with ease.
• Cornerback Charles Godfrey had a better day Tuesday. He batted away a Joe Webb pass intended for Brenton Bersin and then wagged his finger at Webb.
• Newton threw two interceptions Tuesday. Bene' Benwikere and Cason each had one.
• Defensive end Wes Horton (groin) and linebacker Craig Roh (ankle) did not practice. Rivera expects them back when the team practices again Thursday.

*Marcos Ambrose's first career win was nearly overshadowed by some nasty crashes at Watkins Glen. Does the track need a major safety overhaul?* Amy: Yes, but here's the thing. The major incidents in recent years have been on parts of the track that can't be reconfigured because of the temporary barriers. Phil: There are some nasty blunt angles on walls there. That kickout that Ragan originally hit was an issue last year. I wouldn't be surprised if that got revised. However, that kickout protects a crossover. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Silly Season, Kurt vs. Jimmie, Road Course Ringers and More
*Silly Season seems to be winding to an anti-climactic close as Carl Edwards re-signed with Roush Fenway while Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Juan Pablo Montoya are close to deals to stay with their current teams. Should fans expect any late-season moves, and if so, who's most likely to be at the center of it?* Phil: I don't really expect anything at this point. We're already past August 1st. That's basically the deadline for the big stuff nowadays. We'll see some moves with the smaller teams, though. Mike: I don't think there will be any big names moving anywhere. I think the only driver that anyone is really still curious about is Brian Vickers. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Menard's Win, Edwards' Contract, A Silly Rule, More
*With his win at Indy, Paul Menard becomes the first entrant into Sprint's $3 million Summer Showdown Bonus program. He'll be joined by the winners of the next four races. Will anyone win the bonus, and is such a program relevant in the series today?* Phil: It's way too early to be able to tell if someone's going to win that bonus. However, such a program, if promoted correctly, can bring some fire to a part of the year that's all but a throwaway with the Chase in play. I don't think they're promoting it right, though. Amy: I think if anyone wins, it will be someone like Carl Edwards or Kyle Busch. I don't see Menard winning another race this year. It's an okay program, I suppose. I always liked the Winston Million better than the No Bull 5, which this is more like in nature. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Stripping A Win, Drawing A Crowd, And A Sponsor's New Direction
*NASCAR stripped a win from Ryan Newman in the Modified division after inspection revealed an illegal spacer. NASCAR has long said they would not strip wins as it was confusing for race fans. Does this move represent a change or a double standard?* Amy: I think NASCAR just inadvertently said Modified fans are smarter than everyone else. Seriously, huge double standard. They'll happily strike wins in Modifieds and, I presume, other regional series, but not in the Big 3. Summer: Well since it's not a series that most fans follow all that closely, it really didn't seem to make a difference. It's not on TV very often. Read More »

Phil: True, it is. Stewart has had a lot of success at Loudon in the past. However, he's been burned out of wins at least twice there because of fuel mileage in the past. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Junior's Contract, Kentucky Blame Games and Iowa Ignorance?
*The race at Kentucky Speedway was overshadowed by fan complaints about traffic, parking, and concessions. Who is responsible for the fiasco and for fixing it for next year--NASCAR, who allowed track ownership to move the race from Atlanta, track owner Speedway Motorsports, Inc., or local and state government, who has control over local roads and police? And speaking of that race, did the racing justify the track getting a Sprint Cup date?* Phil: Responsibility: A combination of SMI for not expanding parking and the Kentucky State Police for an Epic Fail. I keep reading about exchanges, but its not an equal exchange, so the outrage will only continue. Summer: I think the fans that showed up validated a Cup date, not necessarily the racing. However, I don't pin the blame on NASCAR. They probably just assumed the track would deal with what needed to be dealt with. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Ragan's Win, The Four-Team Cap and Nationwide Leaves IRP
*David Ragan's win at Daytona was the third first-time win by a driver this year. But was it enough to save his ride with Roush Fenway Racing?* Beth: One win does not save a career, but it's certainly a good place to start. Phil: Ragan was very strong on Saturday... he was able to keep himself up front almost all night. I'll say he definitely didn't hurt himself; UPS was definitely pleased with the victory. Amy: I think Ragan's future at RFR depends largely on Carl Edwards. If Edwards jumps ship, he could be a bit more secure. The thing is, Ragan is a consistent threat on plate tracks ... but inconsistent elsewhere. Beth: And does one win really offset just 27 top-10 finishes in 163 starts? Read More »
Mirror Driving: Vickers vs. Stewart, Daytona Rivalries and Kurt Busch as Champion?
*The Toyota / Save Mart 350 saw aggressive driving and payback between Tony Stewart and Brian Vickers. Did NASCAR finally make the right call by letting them "have at it" or should they have stepped in?* Jeff: They worked it out amongst themselves so let it be. Beth: I don't have a problem with NASCAR's no call on this one. They've promised boys have at it, and that's exactly what this was. Mike: Stewart wasn't mad so how can anyone else be mad. He said he knew it was coming and he was cool with it so it is all good. I didn't really think Vickers was blocking in the shot they gave of the initial incident. That doesn't let you know what he was doing before that. Read More »
Mirror Driving: Red Bull Reaction, Spoiled Oil And Nationwide Driver Swaps
*Reports have Red Bull pulling out of NASCAR at the end of 2011. With the demise of yet another smaller team, does NASCAR need to worry?* Mike: I don't know that I'd call Red Bull a smaller team. They had as big of a budget as anyone in the sport. but yes, it is not good to have two more cars not coming to the track every week Amy: Yes, but they've needed to worry for a few years now and they haven't started yet, so I can't see this being any different.

Mirror Driving: Gordon's Win, NASCAR's Warning And The Truck Series Gone Wild
*Jeff Gordon's win Sunday was his fifth at Pocono and the 84th of his career, tying Gordon with Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison for third on the all-time list. How do Gordon's numbers stack up against history?* Phil: That's a disputed third. However, I'd say that Gordon's 84 came against tougher competition than Waltrip's, and he took just about as long to get there as Waltrip did. Brody: Gordon's numbers, I believe, stack up just as well against Allison or Waltrip, if not better considering his competition. Read More »

4 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures US. Patent Dec. 2, 1975 FIG. 2
APPARATUS TO ASSIST FASTENING OF AN ARTIFICIAL LIMB BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The task of inserting, aligning and fastening an artificial limb to a stump is often an ardous and painful task for an amputee, particularly an above the knee amputee, to perform by himself. One common type of artificial limb is strapless and hollowed out on the inside to form a cavity that conforms approximately with the stump shape. The resulting fit between the stump and the limb produces a partial vacuum sufficient to hold the artificial limb to the stump. However, the necessity for a precise fit requires that the artificial limb be put on carefully so that the stump and limb are properly aligned to permit a comfortable fit and to insure that the artificial limb will stay on the stump.
With the usual manner of putting on an artificial limb, the necessary precise fit is difficult for the amputee to achieve without assistance, particularly if the amputation was above the knee. The dressing process begins by drawing a stump stocking, made of a soft and elastic material, over the stump and up to the crotch. While the amputee is standing, the lower end of the stocking is put into the cavity in the artificial limb and pulled out through a hole in the side of the artificial limb. The cavity has a shoulder to support the stump and the hole is below the shoulder. The stump is then inserted into the cavity and the stocking withdrawn through the hole to help pull the stump into the cavity.
During the process, while working without assistance, the amputee must bend over to withdraw the stocking from the cavity with one hand while guiding the stump and smoothing the stocking surface with the other hand. This leads to a difficult and fatiguing balancing act. In one proposed prior art device, shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,666,927, an arrangement was provided to permit the amputee to manually withdraw the stocking through the hole of the artificial limb by a cord attached to the stocking. The cord passed around a pulley and the amputee applied tension to the cord. While this arrangement permitted the amputee to remain standing erect and maintain his balance, it required maintenance of the proper tension on the stocking by the amputee exerting a controlled amount of force on the cord. This is difficult for an amputee to do while attempting to attach the limb. Also, this device did not permit the amputee to have both hands free to be used in aligning the stump and artificial limb while smoothing the stocking. In addition, it required a special stocking having a metal link that was attached to the cord and pulley arrangement.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide apparatus to assist an amputee to put on an artificial limb without assistance.
A further object is to provide such apparatus to permit the amputee to stand erect and use both hands in putting on an artificial limb.
Another object is to provide an apparatus that does not require a special stocking.
Yet another object is to provide such apparatus that uses an electric motor to control the application of tension to the stocking.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention an apparatus is provided to enable an amputee to put on an artificial limb of the conventional type, with a cavity having a shape support the stump. without assistance from another person. The apparatus utilizes the conventional stocking, or Stockinette. which is first put on the stump with the lower end of the socking extending through the hole in the cavity below the shoulder. The apparatus includes a reversible motor having an output shaft to which the stocking is attached. A hand control switch is provided for the amputee to control the duration and direction of rotation of the motor. In operation the amputee stump is inserted into the cavity and the motor used to control the tension in the stocking as it is withdrawn through the hole in the limb while the amputee aligns the stump into proper position. This arrangement permits the amputee to stand erect as the limb is put on and allows him to have both hands free to align the limb and stump and to smooth the stocking. This results in a more precise and rapid insertion of the stump without fatigue.
The scope of the invention will be more fully apparent from consideration of the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus and showing the lower limb of the amputee for explanation purposes;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the motor and its base.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 shows the left leg stump 10 of an amputee, illustratively shown as amputatedabove the knee, and an artificial limb L. The limb is of conventional construction and includes a lower member 1 and an upper member 4 which are suitably hinged together to permit articulation. Lower member I is shaped to resemble the leg below the knee and upper member 4 is shaped to resemble the thigh. Upper member 4 has a stump cavity 7 shaped generally to conform to stump 10. The interior of stump cavity 7 has a shoulder 8 that provides a stable support for the bottom of stump 10. Opening 13, which is normally on what would be the inside of the thigh, communicates with cavity 7 and provides a path so that a stump stocking 16 may be drawn through cavity 7.
A stump stocking 16, made of a soft elastic material that conforms to the shape of the stump 10, is used with the invention. Stocking 16 may be a conventional stump stocking such as a Stockinette but it needs no special shape or attachment to be used with this invention.
A conventional electric motor 22 is mounted on a base plate 17. Motor 22 is reversible and is controlled by switches 28 on a control box 31 which both turn motor 22 on and off and control the direction of rotation of motor 22. Power cord 23 is connected to any suitable source of electrical current. Control box 31, preferably shaped to be hand held, is connected to motor 22 by a control cord 34 of sufficient length to enable the amputee to stand comfortably erect with both his leg and the artificial limb on base plate 17 while holding control box 31 in either hand.
Motor 22 drives a slotted shaft 19 through a suitable gearing system (not shown) so the shaft 19 turns at a relatively slow speed, for example approximately 25 revolutions per minute in either direction. Shaft 19 should be long enough to permit the stocking 16 to be gathered on it.
The upper end of stump stocking 16 is pulled over stump up to the crotch. The lower end of stocking 16 is passed through opening 13 and stocking 16 is securely engaged to slotted shaft 19. It is to be understood that this method of engagement is only one embodiment and that other mechanical attachments, such as a clamp, can be used. With the amputee standing on base plate 17, switches 28 are manipulated until sufficient stocking material is gathered about rod 19 to create a gentle tension in stocking l6. Stump 10 is then inserted into cavity 7. The amputee may use his hands to smooth stocking 16 and guide stump 10 into cavity 7 while holding control box 31 and manipulating switches 28 so that motor 22 draws stocking 16 downward through opening 13 and onto rod 19. Since motor 22 is reversible, switches 28 may be used to either increase, decrease or maintain constant the tension on stocking 16 as it draws stump. 10 into cavity 7. Use of an electric motor permits maintenance of the desired tension in the stocking without tiring the amputee and use both hands in putting on the artificial limmb.
After stump 10 is comfortably positioned within cavity 7, the amputee uses motor 22 to draw the remainder of stocking 16 out of cavity 7. After stocking 16 is completely withdrawn, the amputee seals opening 13 with a cap (not shown) provided by the manufacturer of the artificial limb. The artificial limb is maintained securely in position by the suction effect created between cavity 7 and the exterior of the artificial limb if the stump begins to withdraw from the cavity.
If motor 22 is sufficiently heavy to remain stable on the floor while the stocking is being withdrawn from the stump, base plate 17 need not be large enough for the amputee to stand on; Motor 22 could be mounted directly to the floor.
What is claimed is:
1. Apparatus for assisting an amputee in fitting to a stump of his amputated limb an artificial limb of the type having a cavity therein with a hole through the limb providing access to the cavity comprising:
an elongated stocking having one end passing through the hole into said cavity and adapted to fit over the end of the stump,
a reversible electric motor having an output shaft,
I means on said output shaft for holding the part of the stocking extending outside of the artificial limb, said stocking being wound or unwound as said output shaft is rotated in one direction or the other,
control switch means electrically connected to said motor to control the operation and the direction of rotation of its output shaft to control the tension on the stocking to draw the stocking off the limb and through said hole of the artificial limb as the stump is fit into the cavity of the artificial limb, and
an elongated control cable electrically connected between said motor and said control switch means so that said control switch means can be held by the hand of the amputee fitting the artificial limb.
2. Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said means on said shaft for holding the stocking comprises a slot formed on said shaft.
3. Apparatus as in claim 1 further comprises a base plate on which said motor is mounted, said base plate including an extending portion adopted for the artificial limb to be placed thereon.
4. Apparatus as in claim 3 wherein said base plate is large enough to accommodate both feet of the amputee.

A blueberry muffin you'll go bonkers for
By Carolyn Malcoun, July 7, 2009 - 4:36am
One of my favorite summer activities is berry picking, particularly blueberry picking (best summer fruit EVER!). A local blueberry farm has live music two nights a week, so my friends and I go to picnic and pick berries. We're there for a few hours, and I always manage to pick way too many blueberries (even though I employ the "put-5-in-the-basket, put-handful-in-mouth" strategy).
Since my husband has high blood pressure, we eat a lot of blueberries—find out how they might help blood pressure and heart health. We freeze a bunch more and I love cooking with blueberries too. Here are a few of my favorite summer blueberry recipes.
Blueberry-Coconut-Macadamia Muffins: There are certain recipes that come out of the EatingWell Test Kitchen that the staff freaks out about. This is one of them. My co-workers would smell them baking from down the hall (mmm, coconut…) and rush the kitchen when they saw them on the counter.
Blueberry Tart with Walnut Crust: This super-easy tart comes together in a mere 30 minutes. One review on eatingwell.com says, "This was a MAJOR hit tonight. Rave reviews from our friends—amazing. Just the right balance of sweet and creamy, light and rich, simply delicious!"
Chicken & Blueberry Pasta Salad: Yes, blueberries and pasta. The addition of poached chicken and feta cheese makes this dish into a light and satisfying summer supper that's also great for a potluck. If you already have some leftover chicken, skip Step 1 and add shredded chicken in Step 4.
Old-Fashioned Fruit Crumble: Though you can use any fresh or frozen fruit in this recipe, blueberries are my favorite. Make a big batch of the crumble topping and freeze it so you can whip up dessert on the fly.

I did not have a problem with the poppet seating. I don't know if people are using different types of posts, but I didn't have a problem. However it seems easily remedied.
I had no problem with the poppet either. I did get a Firestone post instead of Cornilius as it has a shorter threaded area. Maybe that is the way to avoid this possible problem.
First they came for my Four Loko and I said nothing, then they came for my Double Imperial Espresso Stout.
went to home depot and got some 5/16 neoprene washers and I am good to go!
there is a small leak where the sprayer connects to the adapter but it isnt a big issue
Not sure of the exact size off the top if my head but it fit inside the post up where the poppet goes. The flare fitting pushes up against it. I think that because the flare tip is sort of cone shaped, the poppet may fit around it. The washer gives it something flat to sit on. Take a post to the hardware store and just try little ones until one fits. I got a SS one for a few cents.
Here is some great info about keg posts and thread sizes and other kegging parts (can somebody import it here into a Wiki/sticky?):http://www.dresselbrew.com/Keg_Info.htm
You can see that there are 2 types of Firestone posts, one is longer that the other. There are also different poppet lengths as well. Maybe some people are using the shorter ones or longer poppets and it's working while others are using the others and require the washer. Either way, I'm Oh-fer 2 on the ones I've built with posts from 2 different sources.

Showman Jeff Beacher's eponymous Madhouse, a clubby freak show of pop culture potpourri, where PT Barnum meets Showgirls meets US Weekly, where A-list stars let loose amidst those of questionable rank in the alphabet, one which the LA Times' Chris Erskine says, "is what Catholic schoolgirls must dream of when they bump their little noggins" was almost coming to Miami Beach permanently until fate--and a huge deal intervened.
Beacher, you see, was bringing his bawdy show to the Eden Roc until Marriott pulled out and filed a lawsuit seeking millions of dollars from the landmark Art Deco hotel's owner, Key International, for breach of contract. But that particular contract really didn't matter to this clubby carnival barker. Beacher, whose show in the basement of Hollywood, California's Roosevelt Hotel packs in people paying at the very least $100 a person twice a week, has signed a much bigger deal with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to the tune of $100 million, launching officially on New Year's Eve.
"As much as I love Miami--and LIV is mine and [his shows' stars] the midgets' favorite place to party, I plan to make Vegas my home for the next 20 years," explains Beacher, who is, in full disclosure, this writer's friend from her storied sleepaway camp days in upstate New York [redacted] years ago. "Everyone goes to Vegas to vacation and rage--we go to Miami."
But those looking for a taste of Beacher's madness don't have to schlep to Vegas just yet. A pop-up version of the Madhouse, where miniature, little people versions of larger than life characters are the stars of the show, is expected--where else--at his Miami home away from home, LIV, sometime around Halloween. Mini-Miley meet real Miley, a Madhouse and Fontainebleau regular? Perhaps. Stay tuned.
