I have a "Honey Steamer" recipe that says to steep the caramel malt grains overnight in cold water. Well . . . the weather's crappy and right now's a great time to brew, so can I do a shorter steep at 155*F so I can get on with this process now?
I've never heard of steeping grains overnight in cold water- that seems kind of strange to me. If you're talking about crystal/caramel malt, I'd just steep for 20 minutes in 155 degree water and call it good.
Thanks, done. This'll be an interesting beer, different yeast, different malt, different steep method. I've never swayed from a recipe this much.
Thanks for the help.

The recent report by the advisory committee to the USDA dietary guidelines has certainly caused a media stir in the past week or so. There's a lot of nutritional common sense in the report – eat more fruit, veg, and dairy, reduce carbs and sweetened drinks/snacks, and moderate alcohol intake. Yet there's a kicker – from both a health and a sustainability perspective, Americans should apparently be guided to consume less animal-based foods.
Are Animals As Innocent As Vehement Vegans Vow?
Another week, another argument with vegans. Reading this blog you could suppose that I spend all my time arguing with the no-meat brigade. Thankfully it's not that common – it's just that it always seems to inspire another blog post.
What Happens When We Don't Like the Science?
A Christmas Wish – May All Your Cows Be Like Your Best Cow
I love conversations that leave my brain firing on a million cylinders and open my mind to new ideas. I was lucky enough to have three such discussions this past week, one at an organic research farm; another at a 300-cow Jersey operation; and the most recent with three faculty at the University of Oxford with regards to the interactions between animal welfare and livestock sustainability.
Animal welfare is a touchy subject – many people appear to define excellent welfare as only including a narrow range of production systems or practices; and although everybody has their own image of what a "happy" animal looks like, it's not always easy to identify or describe those systems without anthropomorphizing. Indeed, I've become increasingly aware that promoting improved productivity and efficiency as a means to improve sustainability can be misconstrued as encouraging the agricultural equivalent of a owning a Victorian dancing bear or cymbal-playing monkey – a "force the animals to perform, regardless of the cost in terms of animal welfare"-type philosophy (see picture below).
Yet such suggestions entirely miss the point, as any system that is consistently detrimental to animal welfare is neither productive nor efficient on a long-term basis. We humans don't perform well if we're chronically underfed, stressed, sick, or housed in unfavorable environmental conditions – and neither do livestock.
Personally, my agricultural utopia would be one where all livestock operations, regardless of size, location or production system, exhibit both high productivity and excellent animal welfare. Admittedly, this leads to the difficult task of not only defining excellent welfare, but also the metrics and benchmarks by which it can be assessed within each operation. However, there is one overarching metric that can be measured, and improved on any farm or ranch – animal health. By definition, an animal that is chronically sick, lame or in pain cannot be said to be a example of good welfare.
As consumers, we want to know that the animals that provide us with milk, meat and eggs are healthy. Indeed, I imagine that even the most militant vegan opposed to the consumption of animal products would agree that animal health should be paramount. As producers, making sure that livestock are healthy is as ethically important as treating workers well. Plus, healthy animals are easier to manage: they grow faster; they have fewer incidents of illness or death; and they produce more milk, meat or eggs. These improvements in efficiency and productivity also mean that we need less feed, less land, less water and have a lower carbon footprint per unit of food produced.
Let's consider lameness in dairy cattle. A major animal welfare issue, it costs between $120 and $216 per incidence (UK costs below)* and is a major cause of cows being culled at or even before the end of their second lactation. Similarly, mastitis has a huge impact on both cow longevity and productivity, and costs the US dairy industry $1.7-2.0 billion per year. If just these two health issues were addressed, how many associated dairy cattle health and welfare issues would be improved; how much could dairy farm profitability be enhanced; and how much would the public image of dairy improve?
Every herd has its best cow – the one who is never lame, doesn't suffer from mastitis, metritis or ketosis; and gets back in calf easily – all while having a high milk (and components) yield. There is no magic bullet to improve productivity and efficiency – yet the discussions I've had in the past week conclusively demonstrated that that does mean suiting your system to your available resources and, though excellent health, nutrition, breeding and management, allowing every cow to perform like your best cow, every single day. I wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that in 2015, all your cows will be like your best cow.
*Lameness costs £180 pounds per incidence in the UK, or £15,000 per average herd annually. Mastitis costs the UK dairy industry £170 million per year.

One In Five Children Who Contract Diphtheria Die – Are Anti-Vaccination Activists Dangerous, Or Simply Misinformed?
Hyperbole, Hysteria, and a Sample Size of One – Where's the Science?
I often describe this blog as a place where I write about things that irritate me. Today, is a case in point. There's a new princess of technology paranoia on the block: move over Jenny McCarthy, because Modern Alternative Mama (MAM) is out to smother your crown with homemade liver pills and tweak it off your head. Billed as "a community of supportive people and well-researched information" the site is full of useful hints and tips on how to keep your children healthy – which in this case means unvaccinated, with unbrushed teeth and breast milk squirted up their noses to cure congestion. I wish this were my hyperbole – it's not.
One of the common themes in the litany of anti-vaccination posts is the fact that vaccine scientists need funding to do experiments (gasp!) and that such funding comes from companies that manufacture vaccines (gasp!). Obviously these scientists are the epitome of corporate shilldom and would sell their first-born child for a microscope and box of latex gloves. Best not to trust their pesky peer-reviewed science.
Don't worry though, MAM is here to do the research for you and write about in a balanced and fair way. This translates roughly as: "Science (pesky corporate shills) shows there is no harmful effect of X, but if you allow the dastardly medical profession to force it on your defenseless bundle of joy they have a 756% increased risk of <insert scary disease here>, will be in therapy (blaming YOU) till they're 45, and will never pass third-grade algebra. Oh, and did we mention that X has been linked to leukemia/childhood obesity/autism/type II diabetes/ADD/teenage pregnancy/atheism/voting Republican (delete as appropriate)". They helpfully highlight the scary messages on the website in bold, so that you don't miss them.
As with so many anti-technology sites, science is the enemy…unless it's happy touchy feely science that backs up whatever theory is being propounded this week. Which is why it's so funny to see them reporting that Baltic amber necklaces "really work" for preventing teething issues in babies.
One of the bloggers was sent a necklace by an amber company. She put it on her baby at 3 months of age (too early to teethe). 5 months and 5 teeth later – no loss of sleep, no cranky baby, no teething problems whatsoever. Hooray! It's a miracle! In her words: "Baltic amber is a win!" For the moment, let's gloss over the fact that the necklace was provided free of charge and that the blogger was compensated for her post (ahem, Baltic amber shill).
So let me compare this to my experience. My baby is now 8.5 months old and also has 5 teeth. We've had no loss of sleep, no crankiness, no problems whatsoever with teething….and no amber necklace! Hooray! It's a miracle! Wearing stripy Rainbow Brite-style leggings and pointing excitedly at next door's dog (my daughter's current favorite activity) are a win! Or maybe it's the cucumber that she often eats for dinner! Or the fact that she can see the mountains from her crib! Or… some babies just teethe better than others.
Billions of children have been given vaccines that prevent disease with no ill-effects whatsoever, which the anti-vaccination activists appear to consider irrelevant. Yet one child given an amber necklace, with no control group or latin-square experimental design to test it's efficacy – it's a win! Baltic amber works! For goodness sake, try and be consistent MAM – you wouldn't consider a sample size of one (my daughter for example, who has experienced no adverse effects from vaccines to date) to be proof that vaccines are ok – why do it with other issues that affect children's health and wellbeing?
I'm not suggesting that teething pain is on the same scale of importance as the provision of vaccines, but let's be realistic. If you're going to this site (or others like it) for unbiased, sound information about vaccines or child health, just take a look at the other posts and products that are being promoted. Would I take cardiac advice from a surgeon who offered me three leeches and a tincture of wormwood to cure cancer*? No – and neither should you.
*Or eating tumeric and avoiding wearing a bra to avoid getting breast cancer, as MAM suggests
Would Being Vegan Really Solve Climate Change? Not if We Don't Kill the Cows.
A friend of mine drew my attention to this NPR blogger, who makes the point that being "good" isn't zero sum (a situation where what is gained by one side or cause, is lost by another). If you're concerned about the environment, you can both recycle cans and buy a more climate-friendly car. If you are passionate about children's education, you can volunteer in the classroom and financially support literary projects. In most cases, doing good is not an either/or.
Which made me think a little more about the definition of "good". To that writer it meant being vegan or vegetarian, in the belief that such a diet would improve animal welfare and environmental impact. Yet this is exactly where the conflict arises for me – if we were all vegan or vegetarian, what would happen to the sheep, the cow, the pig and the chicken?
I posed that question to a vegan on Twitter recently and he, in all sincerity, answered that we, as a vegan population, would care for the animals, but would not enslave or control them. Imagine the beautiful utopia where we all have time to calve a cow or throw some grain to feral pigs before we set off to work, expecting nothing in return. Or in a more realistic scenario, we'd have more meat than we knew what to do with simply through car accidents if we suddenly let loose the USA's 87.7 million cattle (never mind the 62.1 million pigs, 5.2 millon sheep and 9+ billion chickens).
Anti-animal agriculture activists often purport that a cow can live for 20+ years in her "natural" state compared to a farmed animal – so being a data nerd, I did the maths*. Let's assume that 1) cows first calve at two years of age and that 90% of cows (38.3 million of them in the US at present) have a calf every year**; 2) 85% of those calves survive (mortality would go up due to predation, assuming we wouldn't shoot wolves, coyotes etc.); and 3) each cow or bull lives for 20 years. Admittedly that doesn't account for the cattle that would die from starvation through lack of available grazing in 5, 10 or 20 years time, but being good vegans, we'd feed them, right?
Within five years we'd have 602 million cattle in the USA, within 20 years we'd have 3.7 billion – a 40-fold increase on our current national herd. That's 40x more cattle belching methane, drinking water and producing waste, every single day, all as a result of our changing our diet in an attempt to reduce environmental impact.
It's a nice, simplistic, oft-suggested argument that we shouldn't eat meat or dairy products in order to save the planet, yet the conflict between veganism, animal welfare, and environmental impact is clear. Climate change will be solved by us turning vegan? Not unless we reconcile ourselves to killing animals without eating them.
*I'm British, and as such, cannot use the American term "math" as opposed to the British "maths"
**90% is the US average for cow-calf herds, in which few hormones or other reproductive aids are used
Vegetarians May Preach – But We're Not All Members of the Choir
The suggestion that we should eat less meat in order to save the planet pops up with monotonous regularity in my twitter feed. Interestingly, those who make this claim are almost always vegetarian, vegan or profess to eat very little meat. This is rather like me asserting that we could mitigate climate change and save resources by eating fewer bananas and curbing our windsurfing habits. I loathe bananas, and if you ever see me windsurfing you'd better be sure that there's a nearby hospital bed and neck brace with my name on it. As you can imagine, giving up either activity would have little impact on my life.
This is why I find it interesting and rather facile that those who do not eat meat proclaim fleshy abstinence as the way forwards. It's easy to preach a solution that has no impact on your life – far harder to make a dietary or lifestyle change that actually impacts you.
The "eat less meat" movement would have far more credibility if it was promoted by a hunting, fishing, grilling, hamburger-lover who publicly declared his/her love for meat in all it's many forms, and bemoaned the fact that they felt they should forgo the steak in favor of the tofu stir-fry. Yet this doesn't happen. Why? Because the vast majority of us simply don't feel that an intangible threat (we can't see or feel climate change, or conceptualize the quantity of oil reserves remaining) is sufficient to make us give up our carnitas burrito. In reality, meat eating is only likely to decline if it becomes too expensive or subject to regulatory sanctions (e.g. rationing similar to that in Britain during WWII). The influx of papers suggesting that we should reduce consumption therefore fall on deaf ears.
So let's face the facts. Neither the national or global population is likely to reduce meat consumption in the near future, and the rising income per capita in India and China will increase demand for meat still further. Instead of making recommendations based on notional utopias, let's focus on areas where we can really improve.
Amazing gains in productivity have allowed the beef, dairy, pork and egg industry to considerably reduce resource use and greenhouse gas emissions over the last century. With a culture of continuous improvement and access to technologies that improve productivity, we can feed the future population using even fewer resources.
Let's make better use of the multifarious by-products from the human food and fiber industry. Ruminants are blessed with the ability to digest fibers and plant materials that we either can't or won't eat – using by-product feeds to replace corn and soy refutes the claim that livestock compete with humans for food.
Finally, take a look at your own plate. Globally, 33% of food is wasted. Just think of the reductions in resource use we could achieve (and people we could feed) if all the crops planted, fruit picked, and milk, meat and eggs produced were consumed, rather than just 2/3 of them.
We evoke change by leading by example – I'm off to enjoy a steak, conventionally-raised using 12% less water, 19% less feed and 33% less land than its equivalent in 1977. You'd better believe that if there's any left, it's going in a sandwich tomorrow. As my Grandma used to say: Waste not, want not.

The present invention relates to fishing lures and, more particularly, to illuminated fishing lures.
A variety of fishing lures have been proposed that are illuminated to take advantage of the natural attraction of fish to light. Many such lures have been unduly expensive and fragile.
Some illuminated lures have been constructed so that they flash in response to movement of the lure. These lures may flash with insufficient frequency and often have an awkward or unnatural overall appearance attributable to a relatively bulk flashing mechanism. Other lures have been proposed that flash in response to the resonance of a transistorized circuit, but the constant regularity with which they flash gives an artificial and suspicious appearance.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a new and improved illuminated lure that overcomes many disadvantages of the previously known lures.
The present invention is embodied in a fishing lure provided with a body that defines a guideway along which a series of stationary electrical contacts are arranged. As the lure oscillates, a movable contact travels along the guideway under the force of gravity to successively engage the stationary contacts, thereby completing a circuit to intermittently energize a light source. The movable contact can be a terminal of a battery.
Preferably, the lure is elongated in its direction of intended movement through the water with the guideway extending in the same direction so that a rocking movement of the lure causes the movable contact to roll back and forth. A plurality of stationary contacts can be arranged in a row along one side of the guideway with one or more contacts being positioned on the opposite side. The movable contact can then be dimensioned to simultaneously engage stationary contacts on both sides to complete the circuit.
The light source can be advantageously enclosed within the body of the lure where it is well protected from damage on impact and when it is attacked by a fish. Light conductors carry the light to one or more locations on the exterior of the lure.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of an illuminated fishing lure constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the lure taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional top view of the lure taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional side view of the lure taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 1.
A fishing lure 10, illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 of the accompanying drawings, includes many innovative features of the present invention, although it has a relatively conventional outward appearance, as shown in FIG. 1. It has an elongated body 12 of a generally fish-like shape with two fish hooks 14 attached at the bottom. At the front end of the body 12 is a spoon-shaped member 16 that extends downwardly and forwardly.
As the lure 10 is pulled through the water by a line 18, the spoon 16 causes the lure to have an oscillating movement. First, the action of the water against the spoon 16 pushes the front end of the body 12 down. Then, the resistance of the canted lure becomes too great and the front end rises with a relatively abrupt motion. This action of the lure is commonly used and is thought to be attractive to fish since it simulates the motion of a natural food source.
Most of the body 12 of the lure 10 is formed by a main section 20, with the exception of the tail end which is formed by a cap section 22 that is threadedly received by the main section, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. An O-ring 23 seals the threaded interface in a watertight manner.
Extending longitudinally along the main section 20 (in the direction of intended movement of the lure 10 through the water) is an elongated guideway 24 of rectangular cross-section. Along each vertical side of the guideway 24 is a printed circuit board 26, 28. Each board 26, 28 consists of a flat, elongated, non-conductive plate 30 glued to the main body section 20. A comb-shaped conductive element 32 (preferably copper) is mounted on each plate to provide a row of spaced-apart vertical contacts 34 interconnected at their top ends by a strip 36. These contacts 34 are referred to as stationary contacts because they are not movable with respect to the body 12.
Two light sources 38 and 40 are enclosed within the body 12 of the lure 10, one being mounted at the head end of the main section 20 and the other in the cap 22. Preferably, the light sources 38 and 40 are light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which are small, require little current, and have a high life expectancy. Each light source 38, 40 is electrically connected across the two circuit boards 26 and 28, the head end source 38 being permanently wired to the boards and the tail end source 40 carrying two resilient, conductive prongs 42 that bear against the ends of the boards when the cap 22 is in place.
Two bundles 44 of light conducting optical fibers diverge from the head end light source 38 and lead to the simulated eyes 46 of the fish. A single bundle 48 of fibers leads from the tail end light source 40 out the rear of the body 12 and fans out to provide an attractive illuminated display. The use of light conductors not only enables one light source 38 to illuminate more than one exterior location but it protects the sources 38 and 40 from damage by attacking fish or objects that might be struck by the lure 10 when it is cast.
Power to energize the light sources 38 and 40 is provided by a disk-shaped battery 50 inserted in the guide-way 24 between the boards 26 and 28. The two ends of the battery 50, which is of a conventional and readily available type sometimes referred to as a "button" battery, form terminals that serve as movable contacts. The battery 50 is dimensioned to simultaneously engage the stationary contacts 34 on both sides of the guideway 24 as it rolls on its circumferential edge.
One terminal end 52 of the battery 50 is flat and is always in engagement with at least one of the stationary contacts 34 while the opposite terminal is a small protrusion 54 (FIG. 2) that may be in engagement with one of the stationary contacts or may be located in the space between them, depending upon the precise position of the battery within the guideway 24. The circuit that powers the parallel light sources 38 and 40 is completed only when both battery terminals 52 and 54 are simultaneously in engagement with stationary contacts 34. The light sources are, therefore, energized intermittently as the battery 50 rolls back and forth within the guideway 24 under the force of gravity due to the rocking action of the lure 10.
It will be appreciated that the circuit board 28 adjacent the flat end 52 of the battery 50 need not include individual contact elements 34 but may instead be a single strip-like contact since it is always engaged by the battery. It is preferred, however, to use two similar circuit boards 26 and 28 to minimize the number of different components required to fabricate the lure 10.
The lure 10 embodies a simple and inexpensive yet very reliable mechanism that causes flashing of the light sources 38 and 40. It can be inactivated easily by unscrewing the cap 22 and removing the battery 50. The flash rate and the number of flashes that accompany each change of orientation is controlled by the number of individual contacts 34 and the distance between them. The light sources 38 and 40 can be caused to remain on or to remain off when the battery 50 is at rest at one end of the guide channel 24, depending upon whether there is a contact 34 positioned to be engaged by the battery at that location. Another potential advantage of the lure 10 is that the movement of the battery 50 produces a noise as it rolls along the guideway 24, clicking against the contacts 34 and hitting against the ends. These sounds call attention to the lure 10 and may help to attract fish.
The flashing of the lure 10 is not regular and continuous. Instead there tends to be a series of flashes each time the lure 10 changes its orientation in the water. Since the front end of the lure 10 usually rises more rapidly than it falls, successive series of flashes will have different flash rates. The irregular flash pattern produced tends to have a more natural appearance as compared to continuous flashing at a fixed rate and it is more attention-getting than less frequent flashes occurring only once on each change of orientation.
While a particular form of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will also be apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Town Square
You may hug the bride (but put that sword away first!)
Original post made by AnnaMirsky, another community, on Apr 28, 2011
This was my third ceremony and to be honest after a while it's all the same. I don't understand what is going on, which makes it less interesting to follow along. You come in and after a little while someone will bring you tea and a plastic clam shell of goodies (fruit sandwich, jelly type dessert, candied banana, shredded coconut, etc.) which is very nice! People just kind of sit around, move from place to place and visit with one another.
Not knowing anyone there, I felt a bit out of place. I also wasn't really in the mood which no doubt tainted my experience. My sarong (tied by the receptionist at my hotel) was starting to unravel and the language barrier made it hard to ask someone to help me. The setting was beautiful, inside a family temple compound, with stone carvings, flowers, incense and other offerings everywhere, and streamers made out of palm fronds hanging from the roof.
While people are milling about the priest performs rituals. At first he prays over some offerings and flowers, then he rings a bell and continues to pray. After a while, everyone goes outside and the couple comes out of the house. The priest blesses them and uses fire, holy water, rice and herbs. This goes on for a while then they move inside the temple compound and more of the same goes on.
Then the couple performs rituals together. Each is given coins to put between their fingers and toes. Then the coins get tossed behind them (a little like when the bide throws the bouquet). Then the woman sits as if she is at the market, a rope separates them, the man comes with a roll of coins and purchases some wares from the woman. Then the woman holds a palm mat while the man pierces it with the squiggly shaped metal sword he is wearing around his waist. This was very suggestive and I assume this is to show his masculinity and ability to produce children. The rope between them is burned with incense and they hug! This signals the end of the morning ceremony.
After the first part was over I left and with the help of my taxi driver friend found a cheaper guest house. It was fun to look while still dressed in the traditional Balinese outfit. I am now staying inside a family temple compound and paying much less then at the hotel. I am now a bit worn out and will go get a massage or take a nap ... maybe both! Goodbye until next time!

Aerodynamics will provide our big gains. Unfortunately my company provides dump services primarily. Sleek aerodynamic packages do not fair well in dump applications. Recently I speced trucks for an overthe road dump application, and also a over the road van application. Same specs on power train; almost 1 mpg difference,I obviously need to raise my dump rates.

Gorgeous Watch!!!,
This review is from: Women's Classic Watch (Watch)
This watch is even more beautiful in person. The face of it is large, so know that up front. The diameter of the outer edge of the stones on the face is 1.5 inches. It's exactly what I wanted and knew the size before purchasing. I don't have small wrists, but will still need 1 or 2 links to be taken out. The watch came in the original Michael Kors box with tag. MK knows how to do watches and this one is no exception!

GLENDALE, Ariz. – A sizable surprise manifested itself in the Dodgers clubhouse mid-morning Thursday at Camelback Ranch.
With no warning, Erisbel Arruebarrena, the 23-year-old Cuban shortstop signed to a five-year, $25 million deal last month, appeared in camp for the first time after acquiring his visa and arriving in Arizona on Wednesday night.
He did not participate in workouts Thursday. He simply made the rounds at camp, greeting fellow Cubans Yasiel Puig and Alex Guerrero, former manager Tommy Lasorda and longtime coach Manny Mota.
Arruebarrena chose to wear No. 11, worn by Mota for more than 40 years with the Dodgers. Mota interrupted the shortstop's first news conference to tell him so.
"Wear it with pride," Mota told him.
Arruebarrena will begin the regular season in the minors, but expects to make his major league debut at some point in 2014. Reportedly a superb defender in his six professional seasons in Cuba's top league, he said he'd be fine playing shortstop or second base with the Dodgers – "wherever they need me."
"I'm only worried about playing baseball," Arruebarrena said through a translator. "I'm really excited, not nervous at all."
Arruebarrena said he plays with the same flair of Puig, his childhood friend in Cuba.
"It's typical of Latins," he said in Spanish.
But Alex Guerrero, another Dodgers offseason signee slated to eventually play second base, plays in a much more subdued manner.
Arruebarrena speaks no English. His temporary interpreter and guide to American life is Alex Romero, a Dodgers player development assistant.
He hasn't played in a game since December but had recently been taking batting practice at the Dodgers' Dominican Republic facility.
"I feel ready now, but I want to face live pitching to get used to my timing," Arruebarrena said. "Once I have that down, I feel I'll be ready."
For the second straight day, the Dodgers fell victim to a delayed steal, this one clearly the fault of shortstop Hanley Ramirez.

As an avid fisherman and sportsman Mike Savlen's work is a natural expression of his inner passion for the outdoors. He can paint anything on anything in any medium and constantly experiments, grows and evolves as an artist. His work tends to flow between figuration and abstraction in the form of fleeting discord colors, sharp contrasts, varied brushwork and lyrical notes designed to keep the eye wandering around the canvas. Collectors often say that they see more every time they look at one of his paintings and although his work is very different from traditional fishing art it is certainly never boring. Opting for the military instead of art school allowed Savlen to cultivate a unique vision in how he portrays his subjects. His...

Pictures from Tech Talk: "Harmonization of C&Q and CSV Initiatives"Posted in Events on February 24th, 2015 by admin – Comments Off
Download the flyer
Download the flyer
A showcase of new developments within automation technology solutions in the manufacturing and service industries. This event is themed towards approaches that are needed to allow plant systems to be upgraded, for example, to a new OS platform/hardware or utilizing a virtual environment.
First-hand experiences from guest speakers
Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Rockwell, Amgen, Helsinn and more…
Driving efficiency and innovation through technology modernization within the process control layer can be a major challenge. But harnessing advances in technology is as important as ever. Utilizing technologies such as virtualization reduces physical hardware costs but requires significant planning and investment.
This seminar will bring together key industry guest speakers who have successfully implemented such programs for "Technology Modernization" along with industry solutions from vendors based on past case studies and examples.
Who should attend this event?

"In many instances there is significant overlap between the computerized system validation and the commissioning and qualification activities specially for computerized control systems utilized in the manufacturing, facilities and/or utility processes (e.g. PLC's, SCADA, DCS). As such, these efforts may be combined under one effort, to ensure proper synchronization and preclude duplication of effort. As a result, a single validation/qualification effort may be performed to produce the required deliverables to achieve compliance while harmonizing work being done even when using different teams. Moreover, the commissioning effort can reduce significantly not only the qualification effort but also the CSV effort, if performed appropriately.
In today's competitive environment, clear and concise policies and procedures that promote such harmonization effort, regardless of the type of regulated manufacturing process and automation platform, will offer significant value by reducing the cost as well as the time it will take to complete such projects while still meeting the required level of compliance.

Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork
Wednesday, 26th November 2014, 19.00
Over the last twenty years we have seen many standards applicable to machine and process safety. As technology evolves likewise functional safety standards evolve also.
More recently we have seen updates to major standards like IEC 61508 which will have implications to sector standards like 61511 for Process and 62061 for machinery Safety.
In this presentation, I will discuss how safety standards have evolved for both machinery related applications and process applications and newer hybrid applications.
We will discuss some of the more frequently used machine & process safety standards and take a look to where we can expect these standards to lead us in the near future.
About Brian Maher and Rockwell Automation.
Brian Maher has over fifteen years' experience working in the field of Functional Safety. He was the first Engineer in Ireland to be certified as a functional safety engineer by TÜV Rheinland for machine related safety applications in 2010.

Guitars of Love - Headphone extension cable 1/4inch / 6.35mm Pro quality
"So, I have a Little Dot IV with Senn HD650s and a high quality DAC. I've always wanted to be able to sit a bit farther away to enjoy my beautiful tubes, but have been reluctant to spend $900 on a headphone extension cable. I did some searching on e-bay and found this vendor (Guitars-of-Love) in Australia. He seemed to make some quality sound products so I gave this cable a go. It is a..." --MMMan

GoldenJacks Attenuators -20dB
"A common issue with connecting modern sources is the output level they expect all components to accept. Since the age of the CD player, most modern sources output around 2 volts, while both power and integrated amplifiers typically have a much lower input sensitivity of between 100-500mV. The result being you have limited range of control on the volume pot and you are operating in..." --DanPluck
Lear C2 IEM Cable

At the time, Lear already announced they will release an upgrade cable for those who want to complete the whole package of sound and look. It has been released a few months ago and it is called the C2. Oh, it is actually quite affordable too. The wire inside the new cable..." --ClieOS

" Grado Adaptor Cable 6.3mm to 3.5mm (15cm Length) The title has the conversion about face. The Grado product converts from large to small aperture. Not the other way around.
