BOSTON, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
News Summary:
- Cloud Technology Partners announces the General Availability of PaaSLane, the first and only solution that analyzes Java and .NET application source code for compatibility with private and public cloud platforms
- PaaSLane supports industry-leading cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure, Pivotal CloudFoundry, and Apprenda
- The free trial of PaaSLane is available at http://www.paaslane.com
Cloud Technology Partners™, the leader in transforming businesses with cloud solutions, today announced the general availability (GA) of PaaSLane™, the first and only software solution that analyzes Java and .NET application source code to uncover problems that could impact cloud readiness, and accelerates the migration of applications to public or private clouds. PaaSLane assesses existing Java and .NET apps quickly; finding coding errors, hardcoded dependencies, security issues, scalability problems, and other factors, which could quickly derail an application migration project. By reducing the need for manual code reviews, which are labor intensive and time consuming, PaaSLane can shorten migration times by months and eliminate hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost.
PaaSLane enables its users to:
- Rapidly assess application source code to determine cloud readiness, identifying quick wins that can be migrated immediately and prioritizing scarce resources
- Accelerate cloud migrations and the development of cloud-native software by integrating into the software development lifecycle and tracking progress towards cloud readiness
- Continuously optimize applications for evolving cloud platforms by checking every build for cloud readiness and delivering real-time intelligence on changes in major cloud platforms
PaaSLane includes complete support for Java and C# .NET, and assesses cloud readiness for all major private and public cloud platforms. Building on support for Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced last year (http://www.cloudtp.com/?announcements=cloud-technology-partners-announces-paaslane-for-aws), PaaSLane 2.0 includes support for other leading cloud platforms including Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure, Pivotal CloudFoundry, and Apprenda. Additional new features with this GA release include: a redesigned reporting interface, live drill-down into alert detail, interactive charting, and new options for delivering both management-level and detail reports in PDF and Excel formats.
The use of cloud for enterprise workloads is skyrocketing, driving the need for solutions that reduce the risk and cost of migrating applications to the cloud, and that is where PaaSLane shines," said Ben Grubin, Director of Product Management at Cloud Technology Partners. "By using PaaSLane to find and fix problems in advance, companies can ensure migrations are successful."
PaaSLane is also gaining traction with systems integrators, who are challenged to deliver cloud-ready applications in an environment where cloud platforms are changing on a daily basis.
"We leverage PaaSLane to accelerate our time to market for cloud-ready applications," said Deborah Mounts, Software Engineering Director at Foliage, a leading provider of product consulting and development services. "PaaSLane has proven to be a valuable, time-saving addition to our toolset during consulting engagements. We look forward to realizing similar productivity gains in our application development and migration processes, where PaaSLane can help us optimize our applications for constantly evolving cloud environments."
Recent IDC cloud research shows that spending on public IT cloud services is expected to be more than $107 billion in 2017, and growing at five times that of the industry overall, according to the IDC Worldwide and Regional Public IT Cloud Services 2013-2017 Forecast (Doc #242464, August 2013).
"For IDC, a prevailing question we are now hearing from clients is not whether to move applications to the public cloud, but what should be moved first," said Robert Mahowald, Program Vice President, SaaS and Cloud Services at IDC. "The answer of course is not simple. Migrating from existing on-premise platforms to a cloud-based platform has to be carefully planned to avoid additional complexity and risk, but it often can provide value to make it well worth the effort." He continued, "Solutions like PaaSLane help automate the process and eliminate guesswork. They can also provide IT leaders with an objective measure of cloud "readiness" across application portfolios, and give the development team a roadmap to start fixing issues immediately."

Cotton gin waste
We drove by the Burgreen Gin a couple of weeks ago, while they were in full ginning mode. Must have been hundreds of those huge cotton module bales lined up on both sides of the road. Does anyone here know if they give or sell the gin waste (which is in HUGE piles all over the place) to the public after the cotton is all finished being processed?
Robert says that he used to get truckloads of the stuff from Jeff gin years ago, but hasn't even thought about it for a long time.
What's the scoop on this presumably useful organic by-product?
Dorie (always looking for another source of organic matter)
Years ago in one of our first houses we lived fairly close to the Lily Flagg Gin (no longer in operation) and someone told us about using cotton hulls. We did amend with a load for a couple of years and it was great stuff. I do recall we had a few seeds sprout and some nice cotton plants among the tomatoes, but that's usual with any similar organic product. If we didn't live so far from the Burgreen's operation now, I'd probably still do it at least once every few years.
I buy mine from McQueen Smith Cotton Gin in Prattville. It is $5 a scoop. Two scoops fills up my old long bed S10. You better hurry though, McQueen Smith sells out of this stuff fast.
Oh and it is fabulous!!! Everything grows great in this stuff!
Yes, I've heard that it is a good soil amendment but have not used it yet. Anytime we can use a renewable resource like this for our organic matter amendments, it's a great thing! It's a waste product for the cotton gins.
I live in red clay territory, and nothing can be better for improving the soil than an assortment of organic amendments and mulches.
Folks, please be careful with this stuff. Unfortunately, cotton is very, very heavily covered in pesticides due to the boll weevil eradication program.
I'm not sure to what extend the waste products may have chemicals in them, but I read some time ago in Mother Earth News that cotton hulls have lots of pesticides. I'm not a fanatic organic, but y'all should be aware of this.
She then focused on the cotton hulls saying that sheÂd driven through cotton growing areas and had seen the piles of cotton hulls that had washed down the rows into roadside ditches after a rain. IÂd also done some investigating on that as well, land tried to explain.
"I checked with a couple of cotton growers, one in Arkansas and one in Tennessee," I began, "and I also did some library research, as well."
I told her that all 3 sources agreed. "The three most sprayed crops in agriculture are cotton, tobacco and soybeans, in that order. Number four is coffee, but thereÂs no commercial coffee grown in the U.S. as far as I know."
I went on to explain that IÂd read the organic article in the magazine to a friend of mine who grows cotton, and who is relatively organic in his gardening practices. He laughed at the idea of collecting the cotton hulls. "Yes," he said, "there are a lot of cotton hulls. You could easily take a shovel and fill up a pickup truck. They wash up in big piles after rains in the fall after the cotton has been picked. But I would never put it on my garden. Do you know how many chemicals, really harsh, toxic chemicals we have to use to grow cotton commercially?" he asked. No, I didnÂt. He said that he had to use several each season, that they penetrate the plant, the cotton and the hulls and he would not even consider using cotton hulls in his compost, or his garden. "Maybe around rose buses for mulch," he said, because you donÂt eat those, but no, not in my garden, not in soil where I grow basil or thyme or even sage. I donÂt want that stuff around my food."
Here is a link that might be useful: Long Creek Herbs: Columns
This is a VERY good (and for me: crucial) point. This is the one reason that I have been looking into this matter more thoroughly. I have a zero tolerance of many kinds of chemicals (it's a physical thing, rather than philosophical), and know that chemical residues might be a major issue with these cotton hulls. I couldn't even tolerate it as a soil amendment for non-food crops. Not only are insecticides an issue, but herbicides. All pesticides.
I am going to do some local investigation of this. Could it be that cotton gin waste should not even be incorporated into our soil for fear of contaminating ground water supplies?
The plot thickens.
Several years ago I used cotton gin waste. I was talking with
the local county extension agent and he told me not to use it
because of the very strong chemicals that cotton is sprayed
with. He said it would be unsafe to use it around vegetable
I'm not worried about contaminating the ground water. I mean if all these cotton farmers are spraying ACRES of cotton plants and not worrying about the ground water, what harm can I do to my piddly little suburban plot just using the waste products? Most of the contaminant will be washed off the plants during rain storms, back onto the farmer's land (and presumably to the farmer's ground water). Surely if ground water contamination were an issue, the sprays would be outlawed altogether.
Follow up: after I stopped using cotton gin wastes, I looked
around for something to use for an organic fertilizer and I
found that some stores and bent and dent stores would give you
busted bags of flour, dog food and a lot of other similar things that make excellent organic fertilizers. Sometimes I
burn the dead limbs around the house and use the with flour
with the wood ashes together which gives a pretty complete
organic fertilizer.
Many thanks, everyone. Didn't take long for me to realize that this material is not something that I need to be incorporating into my soil. Although I continue to look for and use organic solids to improve my clay soil, cotton gin waste will not be a part of the mix.
Luckily, I have a great source for composted wood chips, which I will continue to amend into new planting beds as well as using as a mulch.
My mother used cottonseed hulls in her garden all her life. Her father did the same. He was 92 when he died she is now 84 and going strong. She just stopped growing a garden 3 or 4 years ago. Her Alabama clay soil is Black down to 18 inches or more. The cotton seed hulls have done her no harm as best we can tell. I have never used them in my garden. I get composted leaves from my city. I get one or two 7ft x 16ft trailer load every 1st and 3rd saturday each month.They load it for you. I have a small 36x120 ft garden I'm trying to make the soil better. I started this last year. Check with your city and see if they have a leaf compost program.

This is a talk by Plamen Turkedjiev of Freie Universität Berlin / Berlin Mathematical School, given at the "What is ...?" seminar at the Freie Universität Berlin on February 13, 2009, https://www.math.fu-berlin.de/w/Math/WhatIsSeminar .
Analyzing the structure of complex networks like the US Aviation System can be very difficult, but one way to simplify this problem is to consider only the flights on the shortest routes from one specific airport to every other. For each airport, this gives us a different perspective on the network from which we can examine its statistical properties.
In the second part of talk, I explore other clues that suggest that genomes are not at equilibrium. Some genes appear to be changing more slowly and these older "fossil" genes in modern day genomes may give us insight into the distant past. I also hope to convince you that many of the great mysteries in contemporary biology do not require big research labs but can be solved through "home genomics"- piecing together information through a computer, the internet, and an inquisitive mind.
In Part 3: How chordates got their chord, Marc Kirschner (Harvard Medical School) discusses how the overall body plan of vertebrates, arose from the invertebrates based on knowledge of the commonalities in their developmental mechanisms. Here again, the acorn worm, offers the key comparison, being close enough to us to share some recognizable features, but far enough away to indicate the direction from whence we came.
In the third and last part of this lecture, I will introduce the model system we have developed to study animal regeneration, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. I will review its anatomy, and the biological attributes that make these animals extraordinarily well suited to dissect the molecular and cellular basis of regeneration. I will also discuss recent work from my laboratory aimed at identifying molecules associated with regenerative capacities.

Shadowglade: Hearth & Home (PFRPG) PDF
Neo Productions Unlimited
Supernatural suspense, horror, and action await the unwary in Shadowglade! 500 years ago, the world ended. More than that, it was forgotten, the minds of those alive scoured clean of knowledge, history, and identity. In the intervening years, society has rebuilt as best it could, new alliances have been forged and blood-sworn enemies made as the surviving nations have begun to rediscover their roots. Out in the wilds and darkness, however, not all that lurks is friendly...or human...or even alive.
The world of Shadowglade mirrors our own, modeled after central Europe, a little more specifically France and Germany. Small settlements dot the land every several miles, separated by dense dark woodlands. Farmers eke out a living from the disquiet land and peddle their wares in town, while a handful of craftsmen toil to sell enough product to put a sparse dinner on the table for them and their loved ones.
Our historical world had a great deal of difficulty in these times but the folks of that era survived without magic, without scads of adventurers to flood local coffers with cash. Shadowglade seeks to emulate that world more than one of traditional sword and sorcery; to help Game Masters exploring this realm we have composed Hearth & Home, a collection and expansion of OGL and original material to assist in world building. Culled from several sources, both gaming and historical, and tweaked for a Shadowglade flavor this guide includes a number of helpful charts, tables, and topics to build your own settlements for Shadowglade or any other fantasy realm!
About Shadowglade
To help complement and enforce this, Shadowglade is an E10 (Epic 10) campaign setting; gameplay is capped at the 10th level, keeping gameplay in the lower, gritter levels and leaving high-level threats a very real danger and making players and GMs explore more unusual avenues to tackle dangerous and deadly threats.

M.J. Van Deventer and Rev. William Thomas Shelton were married Oct. 6th. (Photos by Helen Ford Wallace).
M.J. Van Deventer and Rev. William Thomas Shelton were married at All Souls Episcopal Church on Oct. 6th. A reception was held in the Parish Hall. Family members of the bride and the groom were in the wedding party and daughters and granddaughters were seated preceding the ceremony.
The wedding programs and the tablecloth runners for the reception tables featured ribbons and antique buttons. The buttons were part of the bride's button collection. The program also told the story of how the couple met in the first grade in Muskogee.
The miniature bride's cake was vanilla creme and it was topped with fresh flowers. There were three groom's cakes (two made by the groom). A Hummingbird Cake with pineapple, bananas, nuts, an Italian Cream cake and a chocolate mousse cake. The bride made 11 rum cakes for the reception. Some had homemade vanilla frosting and some featured nuts. All of the cakes were made by the couple except for the chocolate one from La Baguette. Wedding punch was sparkling cider with Ginger Ale.
The couple will have homes in Muskogee and Oklahoma City.

The Accountant
If the company does not have a good accountant, get one. At least twice a year, business owners should confer with the company's accountant regarding the company's activities and results of operations. An experienced business accountant can share the wisdom acquired from other clients' experiences. For example, the accountant can ensure the business avoids costly mistakes over issues such as the proper collection and reporting of sales and excise taxes, and can help guide the owners through compensation and employment tax minefields. If not addressed early, unpaid tax liabilities can result in liens that may sabotage any prospective sale of a business.
The Lawyer
No matter what the size of the business, the company should have a lawyer with whom the owners can confer throughout the year, not just when a crisis arises. Such a lawyer should be pro-active, not merely reactive. The practice of "preventive law", the thorough review of, and consultation regarding, business operations and procedures, leads to litigation and dispute avoidance and cost savings. The Company's lawyer should also consult with other professionals who serve the business to bring a team approach and fast, responsive answers to business problems.
The Insurance Agent
Business owners should review a number of issues, at least annually, with a qualified insurance professional. Items to be reviewed with the agent include (a) the company's operations; (b) amount and scope of coverage for public liability, casualty, product liability, workers' compensation, and employment practices insurance; (c) the financial condition of the insurers; and (d) whether the premiums are competitive. This review should be done in person. Often, whether it's with the company's accountant, insurance agent or lawyer, in person discussions result in the exchange of better information and responsiveness.
Forms of Financial Statement
Upgrade the company's financials from compilation to at least reviewed statements. Also, keep in mind that public companies much prefer to acquire businesses that have audited financial statements. You should therefore have a cost/benefit discussion with the company's accountant as to upgrading to audited statements.
Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Compete Agreements
The existence of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements are not only important considerations for a potential buyer, but are critical to the protection of the operating business. Long before a potential buyer comes on the scene, key employees having intimate knowledge of your customers, customer lists, methods of doing business, pricing and other similar proprietary information might be tempted to leave for a competitor or to establish their own competing business. Even if a key employee has not left by the time the owners are negotiating for a sale of the business, the absence of a non-compete agreement can result in the killing of the deal or the transfer of some of the monies that would have been paid to the owners to the employee. For key employees, reasonable agreements covering confidential information, and, where applicable, non-competition after termination of employment, are highly desirable to both current owners and potential purchasers.
Protection of Intellectual Property
If a patent, trade name, trademark or copyright is important to the business, its owners should confer, at least annually, with a qualified intellectual property lawyer to see that they are doing all that is necessary to protect the company's investment and rights. For example, some patent owners, having fallen out of contact with their intellectual property lawyer, have lost their patents for failure to pay a required annual maintenance fee.
Human Resources and Employment Practices
Lawsuits and EEOC complaints seem to occur more frequently each day over issues such as sexual harassment, discrimination in hiring or termination, wrongful termination, wrongful elimination of job positions and refusal of the company to offer other duties to a partially disabled worker. These and other HR problems can turn a small fire into a major conflagration, with high legal costs, and exposure to potentially huge compensatory and punitive damage awards. In a proposed sale or merger of ownership interests, rather than a sale of assets, uncertainty over contingent liabilities in the employment practices area can quell a potential deal. Even in an asset sale, where the buyer is acquiring an in place work force to continue to operate, poor past employment practices can hinder a deal. It is imperative that business owners have policies in place and review their employment practices with a qualified professional.
Assignment of Leases
Real property and equipment leases typically contain provisions restricting or prohibiting transfer or assignment absent the consent of the landlord or lessor. Usually, this consent can be obtained only upon satisfaction of certain requirements, which can cost time, money and sometimes kill the deal. This is especially true in the case of an asset sale, which will usually involve transfer of the seller's equipment and property leases. If the business leases real or personal property from a non-related third party, be sure these leases contain provisions permitting free assignment in case of a sale of the business, or at least impose only reasonable conditions concerning the financial strength of a proposed assignee and limit the right of the landlord to refuse to consent to the assignment. Negotiation of these lease provisions with a future sale of the business in mind will help ensure these agreements will not be the stumbling block to that sale.
Agreements with Third Parties
If the business depends on any key agreements with third parties (e.g. distributorship, license, franchise, sales representation, furnishing of a third party's requirements), make sure these agreements are in writing and protect against unreasonable termination. Business owners need to be sure that such agreements, like property and equipment leases, are freely assignable, or only have reasonable restrictions against assignment, and cannot be terminated upon a sale of the business.
Environmental Investigation of the Company's Facility
When a facility used by the company is an environmental unknown, or the company engages in operations that give rise to environmental concerns, negotiations regarding environmental contingencies and responsibility for clean-up costs, indemnifications and escrows are sometimes so difficult that the deal dies. Quite often, the buyer does not have time to delay the closing until all the environmental questions are answered and problems resolved to the buyer's satisfaction. Accordingly, whether the company owns or leases its facility, investigate the property now for the presence of hazardous materials, long before a sale is on the horizon, so that any problems can be dealt with in a timely manner and no surprises turn up during the buyer's investigation of the business. Following the above suggestions will not only better position a business for sale, but will also enhance its opportunities for sale and protect its interests along the way.

NEW YORK (Mar. 5, 2007) – Atlanta Thrashers goaltender Kari Lehtonen, Florida Panthers center Olli Jokinen and Colorado Avalanche goaltender Peter Budaj have been named the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending Mar. 4.
Each Monday, the NHL will recognize three players who delivered the League's top performances over the past week.
Lehtonen posted a 3-0-0 record, 1.67 goals-against average and .940 save percentage as the Thrashers (34-23-10, 78 points) moved into a tie for first place in the Southeast Division with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Lehtonen made 22 saves as the Thrashers recorded a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins, Feb. 26. He made 21 saves in a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators, March 2 and finished the week by stopping 35 of 36 shots in a 3-1 decision over the Carolina Hurricanes, March 4. The 23-year-old Helsinki, Finland native improved his season record to 28-19-8 with a 2.84 goals-against average, .909 save percentage and four shutouts.

Producing A Better Game
03/05/07 at 04:05 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Brad Holland at NHL.com,
Recently, the NHL put together an "all-star" team of television experts comprised of John Shannon, the NHL's vice president of broadcasting, Jim Wilkes, an ex-Molstar TV executive and Al Mountford, famous in the broadcasting industry for his hockey camerawork and the man who shot the 1980 Lake Placid "Miracle On Ice." The three men have compiled a DVD and have met with every team in the league in an effort to help the regional broadcasters produce a better televised hockey game.
"Every team has a copy of the DVD and we (finished reviewing it) with all 30 teams," Shannon said. "And right now we're in the process of writing a case-book to help the broadcasters."

Working Together

from Tripp Mickle of Sports Business Journal (paid sub.),
During his 11 years with the NHL Players' Association, Ken Kim can't recall a time when the union visited all 30 NHL teams to meet with club executives. But that has begun to change over the last three months.
Kim, the union's senior director of business, and Devin Smith, its director of club marketing, have traveled to 22 of the 30 NHL clubs to discuss ways teams can get players more involved local promotions and marketing programs. They'll meet with the final eight teams over the next few weeks.
"Just having these meetings is coming a long way for us," Kim said.
The meetings are unprecedented in the sports industry, where relationships between unions and leagues are often contentious. To date, none of the other major sports unions have traveled to each team during the course of a year to discuss marketing players.

Different Atmosphere For Rivet

from the Montreal Gazette,
A new hockey life for Craig Rivet begins, with this story: "We finished practice Saturday in Anaheim, we're in the dressing room and (teammate) Billy Guerin yells over to me, 'Are you ready for the media?' Rivet said Sunday from a hotel lobby in Dallas, a few hours before his San Jose Sharks would blank the Stars 4-0.
"I said, 'Yeah, let 'em in,' and Billy said, 'He already is in.' I started laughing - there was one soft-spoken reporter, and he wasn't looking for any blood."

Huge Day For NHL.com
03/05/07 at 01:03 PM ET | Comments (0)
NEW YORK (March 5, 2007) – NHL.com experienced record traffic for its coverage of the 2007 NHL Trade Deadline on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2007.
While Trade Deadline Day historically is one of the busiest days of the year for NHL.com, Tuesday's Trade Deadline Day—which included a live stream of NHL Network coverage for the first time ever to fans outside Canada—surpassed years past with 1,557,715 visits and more than 13.5 million page views. The figure represents a 70% increase in visits compared to an average day in the month of February and a 31% increase in the number of visits NHL.com experienced last year on Trade Deadline Day (Mar. 9, 2006).

from Comics2Film,
The Spartan swords of Warner's "300" are mixing it up with the slashing sticks of the National Hockey League.
Marking the first time the NHL has promoted a Hollywood pic, the league has cut a 30-second TV spot mixing game play footage with scenes from Warner Bros.' violent ancient battle actioner "300."
Spot, produced by NHL Prods., will air during NHL games on NBC, Versus, TSN and local affiliates. It also will play on the league's Web site and in-arena games in select markets.

Forsberg Hurting
03/05/07 at 11:56 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Tennessean,
It was pretty obvious to anyone who saw the Predators beat Los Angeles on Saturday that Legwand suffered his injury while blocking a Kings shot.
But Forsberg? He seemed fine in the locker room after Saturday's contest, patiently answering questions after a three-assist performance.
Things apparently deteriorated after that.
"It felt sore during the game,'' Predators Coach Barry Trotz said of the upper-body part in question. "(Saturday) night he had more of an indication that he was getting sore and when he woke up this morning, it was real sore.''
Trotz said the Predators planned to have Forsberg seek further medical attention.

Myself Is Conflicted
Blog: Abel to Yzerman By IwoCPO
03/05/07 at 11:52 AM ET | Comments (0)
Did a little research last night after the game, wondering if my suspicions were correct. What suspicions, you ask? Well, I was under the impression the Wings had lost 611 consecutive OT games. Apparently I was wrong. They've won 11 out of their last 39. So that's better.
But am I the only one? Am I isolated in my sadness when they're tied at the end of regulation? My wife watched the whole game with me then left the room without saying a word as soon as overtime started. She knew.

Hurricanes Stumbling
03/05/07 at 11:46 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
Carolina has stumbled largely because of goaltending - playoff hero Cam Ward has sat and watched John Grahame play four of the last five games - injuries to players like Cory Stillman and Frantisek Kaberle and surprisingly moderate production from third-year man Eric Staal. Staal does have 26 goals, but he's not been the force he was a year ago.
Then again, a year ago the Canes had Doug Weight and Mark Recchi around to help the kids, Matt Cullen up front for some speed and Aaron Ward to anchor the defence.
from Spector at his Fox Sports blog,
This season, however, the 'Canes have crashed hard back to earth.
They've struggled throughout this season, and at present find themselves barely clinging to one of the final playoff berths in the East, and are in danger of missing the playoffs.
Should that occur, it'll be the first time since 1996 that a defending Stanley Cup champion misses the post-season, and only the third time since 1970.

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
The shocking case against David Frost is coming apart at the seams.
Tomorrow, many of the charges of sexual exploitation and one charge of assault against the disgraced former agent and coach are expected to be withdrawn in a Napanee court room, police and other sources indicated yesterday.
And while other charges of sexual exploitation remain, there is no indication whether Crown prosecutor Adam Zegouras will proceed with them at this time.

Why not just use a 1-way liquid/gas check valve in line with the blow off tube? You can get some on US Plastic for just a few bucks. I suppose they could possibly get clogged up if a bunch of particle matter gets shoved up through there. But at worst it's something cheap to hook up to your 3 piece air lock or tube after fermentation is done and you want to cold crash.
I use an S type airlock for cold crashes and don't get any sanitizer in the beer.
I may have to get a couple of those type of air locks. I have the three piece type. I just kegged a batch this morning that I cold crashed. I don't know if it sucked anything back or not. I had rum in mine, so either way it's a win.
Does the height of the blow off container make any difference? For instance if mine had been lower than where mine is at would this not have happened?
FYI - my beer tastes great, got a lot of compliments on it this weekend. So either I had less suckage than I thought and/or I was able to siphon cleanly enough.
An S-Airlock wit vodka is great for cold crashing.
I've had a similar issue with cooling wort in a fermenation chamber before pitching yeast using a 1" blowoff tube. To solve this I've marked a canning jar the the height to fill it with starsan that doesn't fill the 1" tube more than about 18" tall. If the starsan gets pulled up by vacuum, the vacuum will break before starsan gets high in the tube. The downside to this is that you blowoff container is small and I put it inside a small bucket to contain a blowoff mess - pretty rare...

moreThis dictionary offers a complete compilation and a historical-comparative reflection of the hereditary lexis of the Kartvelian (South Caucasian) language family. With this significantly enlarged (e.g. more than a thousand new etymologies) and revised successor of Surab Sardsheweladse's and Heinz Fahnrich's earlier dictionary (Brill, 1995), the author here represents the latest stage of etymological research. The dictionary contains a wealth of new lexical entries, corrections of earlier attempts and new reconstructions. The introduction provides a survey of general data of the four Kartvelian languages (Georgian, Mingrelian, Laz, Svan), characterizes the historical-comparative research in short and provides a detailed description of the system of regular phoneme correspondences in its newest form. The main part presents the Kartvelian lexis in separate entries. The reconstructed forms of the root- and affix morphemes are listed in alphabetical order of the Georgian script followed by instances of the Kartvelian languages. Each entry covers the phonological development of the lexical item from its original form to its present state and is amply supplemented by references. less

Deadstroke's forum posts
Also If they are having problems with the cover, why don't they just use the same cover but edit out the bloody smile and just have his hand bloody?
Sam Raimi having story issues? That probably means the studios are forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do.....we all know how that ended up...
DC isn't going to win this case, the most that will happen is the cover will be changed.
As long as the character has a different name and semidifferent look then it's considered to be a homage. They aren't making money off of Batman they are making money off a character that LOOKS simillar to Batman, that is were it'll fall flat. I can't tell you how many times i've heard someone say they were going to sue someone else, just because the characters looked simillar and in the end the company being sued rarely loses.
" @xerox-kitty: Agreed. "I apologize if I somehow insulted you during this debate, and for being part of the problem which has left your featured forum in ruins. The argument seemed to have affected both of us and it is both of our faults for starting this whole disagreement and letting it grow into the monster it was. Again I apologize and am deeply sorry for being part of the problem and not part of the solution like xerox-kitty.
" @Deadstroke: Enough. This is a light-hearted thread. It is not a fight, there is no name-calling and it is not a chance to argue over misogynist views. End of story. "I agree as well
MODOK again!!!! I'm sick of MODOK appearing in every episode of this series.
" @Deadstroke said:Hypocrite?!!!, when the hell did this become a name calling contest? I didn't insult you in anyway, so what gives you the right to call me names because my beliefs and my thoughts are different then yours? This started off as an intellecual debate between two different people with two different beliefs and now you've decided to begin with insults which is the lowest thing to do in debate. I Never insulted all women, I didn't say that all girls who have slept around are dirty, but it definitely effects the way many people look upon them." ????..... Uh yeah it does kind of matter if a woman is more sexually experienced and has slept with millions of guys before-That is why you are a hypocrite and fail as a man. You are automatically connecting sexual experience with disease. When you imply that if a female has more then one sexual partner is tainted. You are mocking all women. You can't make a standard that only applies to one for similar actions. It is NOT a "well known fact" that flirting always leads to sexual activity.
It's a well known fact that if a character is flirtatious in comics they've probably been screwing at one point in time. She's slept with Cyclops, Namor, Banshee, kissed a guy named Ian Kendall even though he was older then her and was her school teacher, she even married Doctor Doom in Old Man Logan. You seem to be taking it the wrong way, I'm not insulting all of the female sex, just Emma Frost. "
Cyclops = her lover
Namor = not a X-Man, and it was part of Shaw's plot to try and get him to join the Hellfire Club
Banshee = didn't sleep together.
Ian Kendall = not a X-Man and this may come as a shock to you, but kissing doesn't count as sex. Older is irrelevant.
Doctor Doom = Are you on crack? Old Man Logan isn't a canon story. "
????..... Uh yeah it does kind of matter if a woman is more sexually experienced and has slept with millions of guys before because what if one of those guys had an STD and she gives it to you? Understood if she cares for yah then that's all that matter but in case you haven't noticed almost 80% of marriages end in divorce, what happens if you thought she loved yah and you later find that she's screwing someone else because she's so sexually active and you fail to meet her needs after a period of time.
" @Deadstroke: Sooo, when a woman does that for you it's perfectly fine, but if she does it for anyone else before you she's somehow tainted???? Why would I care if a woman is more sexually experienced then me? If she cares for me and I her that is all that matters. It's also rather despicable you would diminish her to the level of an object like a bike. I don't remember her sleeping with any member of the X-Men before Cyclops. She was flirtatious with Banshee, but she's flirtatious with a lot of people. You also over exaggerate that she slept with millions. If you live your life expecting every woman to remain some chaste little flower until she meets you. You are going to live a rather disappointed life. "
It's a well known fact that if a character is flirtatious in comics they've probably been screwing at one point in time. She's slept with Cyclops, Namor, Banshee, kissed a guy named Ian Kendall even though he was older then her and was her school teacher, she even married Doctor Doom in Old Man Logan.
You seem to be taking it the wrong way, I'm not insulting all of the female sex, just Emma Frost.
" @Deadstroke: I'm pleased it made you laugh. Your view on women and their value is a bit skewed. So Emma has been rather sexually active in the past that somehow diminishes her worth as a person? "I love women, I just don't like Emma because she was once the X-men's bicycle...everyone's had a ride, shes basically screwed the entire x-men and I find that insanely unattractive. Would you find someone who has had millions of guys (and possibly girls) inside them, attractive? I wouldn't because out of all those millions of guys one of them has been somewhere dirty before.....ewwww

Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique – a tri-island state often referred to as the Island of Spice is located in the Southern Caribbean.
Carriacou and Petite Martinique boast the most beautiful coral reefs. Carriacou – the larger of the two – is known as the 'Land of Reefs', with shallow clear waters: ideal for snorkelling. Occupants of both islands are independent and fiercely traditional. On Carriacou – home to 6,000 people – the musical customs of their African descendants can be experienced at the Carriacou Maroon and String Band Music Festival held in the month of April.
French settlers were the first on Petite Martinique, which is an island not phased by modernity. Petit Martiniquians make their livelihood from boat-building and fishing – a skill they have mastered, which is fascinating to hear about and witness. If you're seeking a more authentic experience, a short trip by ferry or local aircraft will transport you to the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

Hotel is very poorly managed. No staff is available in night to help out. One private security guard roams in night, who was also drunk. But any way in an pilgrimage place like Rameswaram all hotels are like that. One should not expect service quality like other sightseeing places in Hills or beach area tourist places.

The overall experience at this hotel was good and the location was convenient for travelling. The room allotted was spacious and cleanly maintained with all the necessary amenities. The infrastructure of the hotel was quite decent and staff members in the hotel were helpful and friendly. The hotel had a garden and play area for children but the food provided in the hotel was not good in taste. I would suggest the hotel management to improve in room services and provide quality food then it would be recommendable to other travellers.More » « Less

i love this product
Solid Band Birth Announcement Magnets We were very late in sending out our baby shower thank you cards and this magnet announcement was the perfect size to slip into the thank note! Everyone we gave it to loved them!
Wonderful, as always!
Sweet Boy Swirls Christening Invitation Cards I used MagnetStreet 3 years ago for my Save-the-Date magnets. I was so impressed that I chose MagnetStreet for my wedding invitations. So, when I needed an invitation for my infant's dedication, I chose them again! With MagnetStreet, I am able to customize all of the wording and can create any color scheme I need to match the colors in my photos. If I have an idea, but can't get it how I want online, I just call them and talk to a person designing the card! Extremely personable. The linen is a great option! Very good quality!
Used as Wedding Thank You Card
Holiday Ribbon Christmas Photo Cards I used this card to create my wedding thank you cards. It turned out beautiful and exactly like what I had envisioned in my mind. I love that you can change all the colors of the ribbons in the middle (and obviously I took out the 'happy holidays' message). The card stock was great, I was thinking it would come printed on photo paper, but it was on nice sturdy card stock, which will probably survive mailing quite well. I am so excited to get my thank you's filled out and sent off!
Excellent job
Expression Baptism Invitation Magnets I love how it came..my friends and family were very impress. theywere asking where did i made it. and i recommended this site. thank u.

Beautiful Product!
Wall of Love Tea-length Tri-fold Programs I was so incredibly pleased with these programs.

Yeah, I kinda had that point in mind as well, just didn't mention it for some reason. It's a fairly popular idea that the power of divine beings is directly proportional to the amount of followers they have.
As for Nightmare Moon, I think the magic at work there ran on negative emotions, rather than positive ones. So instead of friendship, it required hatred as a power source. There was plenty of that to go around in those days, presumably.
I suspect Celestia might have even kept a small cult dedicated to her sister to ensure that Luna wouldn't croak the instant the tainted magic was removed. It would also explain why she is absent so often, since she's busy socializing with her coven of followers. Presumably the cult was also kept in cultural stasis for all that time so that Luna would have an easier time settling in, which would explain why she had trouble with her initial incursion into more modern society.
