So I'm planning my next series of beers and I was a little stumped on what to brew. After doing an initial brew as partly a big yeast starter, I wanted to split that yeast into two and do two beers at a time to maximize the space in my fermentation fridge. The end of the line beers are already set at an IPA and my Fresh Hop Double IPA. I was planning an Irish Red before the Double IPA, but what to do before the regular IPA? It had to be lower in gravity and not very dark. I could do a Pale Ale, but I want to hold off on that for a while. Then it hit me. What about a low gravity, session version of an IPA around 4% but full of hop bitterness and flavor? Here it is... IPA Lite.IPA Lite

I'm very curious to hear how this turn out. My wife and I have discussed a fair bit the role of the higher ABV in the flavor of a good IPA. She is of the opinion that it would be hard to achieve the proper balance without it. Probably 80% of the beers I brew have an OG under 1.055 because I like to drink more beer and not get drunk. So I think a fair bit about lower alcohol IPAs and have been slowly lowering my ABV's on mine (6.5-7%), and would like to go even lower, but still keeep it an IPA, not a pale ale.
I wonder if you might want to increase the specialty grains a bit to help offset the hops. I know that for his Scottish Ale series, Jamil Z recommends in his book that you keep the specialy malts at the same level, and just use more or less base malt if you are making a 60, a 70, or an 80.
The complicated hop schedule is what gives an IPA the powerful heady aroma, and often an initial "softness" to the beers. Also it is fun to blend hops.
Based on word of mouth (not experience) I agree with brewsmith. In theory (from what I read and heard), if you have a lower alcohol content then make the mouth feel a little fuller by mashing at a higher temp. Friends of mine have mashed at 158/59 with an abv at 4.5 to get fuller taste with high 70/80 beers.
Never tried it but Brewsmith is the third or fourth person I heard use this technique.

FINAL GRAVITY PODCAST PERSONALITY I brew therefor I am!
Sounds like a plan but I would dry hop the holy hell out of any IPA just to be doubly sure you can smell the pint from across the room.
I think it's just gonna be a hoppy pale ale....which is still cool. You couldn't technically call it an IPA because it just doesn't have the ABV. Likewise, you couldn't call it a Pale Ale because it's got too high of IBU's. I guess it's a custom IPA .
I'll see what the aroma is after primary fermentation is done. If it still needs aroma, I'll dry hop with an ounce or so of whatever I've got, probably more Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo and Summit.
As far as style, I'm not really going for style, as stated above, it doesn't have the gravity. If you look in the recipe, I used Blonde Ale as the style for color and gravity purposes. It should be hop balanced like an IPA, but at a low strength, hence the "Lite." All that keeps running through my head while going over this recipe is "Great Taste, Less Filling"...

I brewed a batch of Rye IPA about 11 days ago. I pitched a 2L starter and had signs of fermentation about 8 hours later. But made the mistake of using an airlock so it got clogged while I was sleeping that night and the lid of my fermenter blew off but I don't know how long my fermenter was open. I woke up around 5am and noticed the lid was off so I immediately removed the airlock, put the lid back on and installed a blow-off tube. Should I be worried that my batch may have gotten contaminated?
I dont think so. Because your airlock blew off, there is some really active fermentation going on, and there will be a heavy layer of CO2 on top of the beer, making it very hard for nasties to take hold. I think some breweries use open fermenters regularly
This episode reviewed open fermenting and some of its self protections, concerns, and effects on the flavor.http://www.brewingtv.com/episodes/2010/5/17/btv-14.html

"This study shows that the federal government is falling short in keeping track of so-called 'official time' and must make changes to prevent underreporting," said Chairman Issa. "Taxpayers have the right to know the true cost of the union activity they are funding."
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) today made the following statement on the retirement of Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe: "During his 39 year long tenure at the Postal Service, Donahoe saw firsthand the changing landscape of the industry and was able to uniquely understand how USPS…
"The Export-Import Bank's classification of small business loans was directly questioned during the Oversight Committee's July hearing. More importantly, gross inaccuracies in the Bank's self-reported data make vigorous congressional oversight all the more necessary. It is time for the Bank to stop stonewalling Congress. I expect full compliance with the Committee's subpoena."
"The Government Reports Elimination Act reduces waste and duplication in the federal government by eliminating or streamlining 53 unnecessary government reports, said Chairman Issa. "I would especially like to thank Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA), who were original House cosponsors of this bill. This bipartisan reform is a commonsense step in the right direction, reducing duplicative or outdated reports to save taxpayers money."
"Once again, the Department of Health and Human Services is lowering expectations ahead of ObamaCare's open enrollment period, a tactic that has become par for the course for this Administration. The prospect of lower enrollment figures should come as no surprise, given ObamaCare's troubled track record over the last year. Under the President's health care law, Americans have experienced broken exchanges, cancelled coverage, higher premiums, and unaffordable deductibles. Despite the Administration's habit of moving the goal posts, the fact is ObamaCare is simply not delivering the results Americans were originally promised by the President."
Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) announced a joint full committee hearing, "Abuse of USPTO's Telework Program: Ensuring Oversight, Accountability and Quality." The hearing will examine reports of systemic abuses and mismanagement within the employee telework program at…
"President Obama's decision to put political pressure on the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet is bad for American consumers, would stifle economic growth, and would open the pathway for unnecessary government interference. The Internet's revolutionary success is due in large part to an entrepreneurialism that adapts and innovates freely as the Internet evolves. A free and open Internet allows Americans to operate their small businesses, communicate freely, and stay competitive in a changing global economy. Instead of bowing to political pressure from the President, the FCC should take into account the strong bipartisan support for keeping the Internet free and open."
"This is a serious security breach that has put the personal information of Americans at risk. The Committee is deeply concerned about this cyber attack, and will continue to press the Postal Service for answers about how hackers were able to pierce the agency's security protocols. Additionally, it underscores the dire need for information security reform, which the committee has pursued through FISMA reforms. The Postal Service must do a better job securing the information of the American public."
"President's Obama's health law was pushed on the American people through a highly partisan effort that never did an adequate analysis of the government's authority to provide premium subsidies through exchanges established by the federal government. The sloppy and rushed nature of the process that created the health law is rightly catching up to it. The statute provides no authority for subsidies through the federal exchange, and proponents of the law cannot cover-up their regrets by ignoring the plain text of the law when it proves inconvenient."
"Having submitted a proposal to reauthorize the Bank and increase its lending authority, you should expect to provide Congress with unfettered access to the information it needs to evaluate that request, including information relating to Bank operations," wrote the Members. "However, redacted transcripts made available by the Bank reveal very little about those matters; the Bank redacted virtually every discussion among directors and staff exploring why the Bank could lawfully participate in specific financing transactions."

FORT MYERS, Fla. — David Ortiz has made it perfectly clear why he chose to publish 2,300-plus-word, March 26 article on the Players' Tribune web site defending himself against allegations of using performance enhancing drugs.
He wanted to attempt to have what he hoped would be the last say on the matter.
"People are always focused on things that really don't matter. I just want to make myself clear that I don't want to keep talking about this," Ortiz told WEEI.com Monday afternoon. "People are always bringing the subject to me, over and over. People look at me, like why does he keep bringing this subject back? It's not me, bro. I get that question asked. Every year, people come and ask me the same question. I'm just tired of it, bro. That article that came out, hopefully it's the last time I talk about it."
But while Ortiz was satisfied with the overall presentation of the article, he did regret how one part was represented.
The three sentences Ortiz felt an obligation to clarify while sitting in front of his locker prior to Monday's game at JetBlue Park were: "I grew up in a house where my father used to hit my mother. There was a fight in my house pretty much every other day. It was normal."
Ortiz explained the message he intended to relay regarding his upbringing.
"The one part where it said that my dad [Enrique] used to beat up my mom [Angela Rosa] and stuff, that was wrong. What I was meaning to say was that in my house, it was an argument all the time, fights and stuff.
"There were things that you don't want to see as a child. But it wasn't that my dad was an abuser, because my mom was a tough lady. I'm not going to give too much of the details into that, because that's my personal life. My dad has always been a great dad. I don't want people to look at him like he was the wrong person.
"My whole thing was based on the argument they used to have. At some point my mom and dad ended up divorcing and that was the end, everyone went on their own. Then, once they were away from each other, the true respect that you expect from a husband and wife started showing up even more. Their relationship got better, even if they weren't together. But that's the way I was raised, though. To make myself clear, I was basically just saying I grew up in a tough situation.
"I don't want people to think that my dad was an abuser, because my dad is the reason I am who I am, besides God. He's a good man who taught me how to the right thing. It was just the kind of relationship that, they didn't agree with a lot of things. That brings a fight. A fight's not just when a man hits a woman. Arguments can be called fights."
FORT MYERS, Fla. — As spring training games go, Monday night's 14-2 pummeling of the crosstown Twins was about as good as it gets for the Red Sox.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — As spring training games go, Monday night's 14-2 pummeling of the crosstown Twins was about as good as it gets for the Red Sox.
Exactly one week before the season opener in Philadelphia, John Farrell rolled out a lineup that fans can expect to see against the Phillies (and hopefully most of the season). And that lineup produced just as Red Sox management hoped when they put together the new offense over the winter.
Leadoff hitter Mookie Betts continued his scorching spring with two more hits, including an RBI double high off the Monster in a six-run fourth. He scored twice and is now batting .467 on the spring.
Mike Napoli looks as comfortable as anyone in the lineup not named Betts. He has also carried a blazing bat in spring, even when he's breaking it in half and homering as was the case in the fourth. He muscled up and clubbed a solo homer that carried over the Monster in straightaway left. The barrel of the bat wound up in the dirt next to the third base bag and he ran around it as he circled the bases on his fourth homer of the spring.
The solo shot must've inspired the rest of the order as Shane Victorino followed with a double. It was the second of seven straight hits by Red Sox regulars off a Twins staff comprised mostly of relievers for the game. In all, the Red Sox had consecutive RBI hits from Xander Bogaerts, Humberto Quintero, Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz in the six-run fourth.
After his seventh strikeout of spring, Ortiz broke out of a mini-slump with an RBI single in the third that got the scoring underway. He followed that with a smooth swing that produced a sinking liner to left-center, scoring Dustin Pedroia. He finished 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, bringing his average up to .259 this spring in 10 games.
Masterson allowed five hits and one run over his 5 2/3 innings and ended his night on a strong note when he got Torii Hunter to ground into a 6-4-3 double play. The starter who projects to start the season as a starter somewhere behind Clay Buchholz and Rick Porcello struck out four and walked one while generating seven ground ball outs. He could've had an eighth except for a rare Dustin Pedroia error in the third.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — John Farrell took a fun swipe the constant questions about his roster Monday before the game with the Twins at JetBlue Park.
"We've got some short-term questions with health that are apparent that we've talked about a lot," Farrell said with a smile.
But the Red Sox manager certainly understands the daily queries about his roster given the health of Koji Uehara, Joe Kelly and the loss of Christian Vazquez. Those three changes alone have exponentially increased the complexity of his roster decision in the last week of spring training.
But there are still quality cogs on the roster that Farrell think can be part of the offensive machine that carries his team. On top of that, Farrell beamed about what he's seen from his projected rotation this spring, starting with Clay Buchholz and Rick Porcello. He's also seen enough from Wade Miley and Justin Masterson.
He made it clear Monday that all four plus Kelly is what he projects heading into the season with as a starting staff.
"I like it. But I like our team," Farrell said. "I think our rotation is going to pitch well, I really do. We've had some performances in spring training that, with guys in the bullpen, give us weapons to match up. Getting Koji back will certainly be a boost. We're not a perfect team but I like our team."
Farrell indicated that he was not inclined to keep an extra outfielder, even with the health questions of Uehara and Kelly.
What exactly does he like from the group?
"On the whole, they like to work quick, and I'm a big fan of that," Farrell said.
"I don't know that anything is a real surprise. Our goal was to make sure we have five guys healthy, and we're dealing with one situation that we'll bring along. But Joe will get to us in time. Whether that's next week or beyond, that remains to be seen. What I like about it is there's five guys that have been in the big leagues and they have track records that we get some sense of known commodity or dependability out of them, and we can work with that."
"You see it little by little and in combination with understand and knowing the work that's going on with Chili prior to BP, I think we all want adjustments to happen more readily but hey, things will happen in time and you can see the adjustments being attempted at the plate. A couple of balls the other day that find their way to base hits, gives him a chance to relax a little bit and let some of the work being done really start to gain some traction."
While Farrell said all the outfielders on the current roster would remain in the organization on Opening Day, he admitted he has no idea how it will play out when the decisions are made this weekend.
"[It's] not an issue," Farrell said. "We have a roster decision to make that's looming by the time we break on Saturday, and there's nothing that's been definitively made."
If the Red Sox are indeed set on keeping all of their outfielders, that would likely mean Jackie Bradley Jr. and Rusney Castillo would be optioned to start the season, with Allen Craig and Daniel Nava still on the roster.
Barring any late injury or setback, Farrell reiterated Monday that Shane Victorino is the starting right fielder, meaning Nava and Craig are the backup outfielders.
Other notes from Monday: Farrell announced that reliever Matt Barnes, who last pitched Saturday in Port Charlotte against the Rays, would be out of commission for a day or two as he recovers from food poisoning.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — After Koji Uehara again felt something in his sore hamstring after a 30-pitch bullpen Monday, John Farrell can count on his closer not being ready for the start of the season.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — After Koji Uehara again felt something in his sore hamstring after a 30-pitch bullpen Monday, John Farrell can count on his closer not being ready for the start of the season.
"I don't think there's anything to suggest that come next Monday he's in our bullpen," Farrell said Monday. And that was before Uehara threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session that was far from 100 percent.
"Same as last time. It's the same. I feel something in the same area so I'm not throwing as hard as I want to be," Uehara said.
The question now is just when might the 39-year-old right-handed closer return to action.
"I don't know when I'll be back," Uehara said Monday. "It's a day-to-day process. I have to do what I have to do to get ready."
Uehara hasn't pitched since March 14. He has allowed seven hits and two earned runs in three one-inning stints this spring.
"I think I'm going to start on the DL just because I haven't had the games," Uehara said. "If that is the case, if I start on the DL, it certainly will be a disappointment. I knew from the beginning that it's going to be a slow process. It's from my experience."
It would appear all but certain that Uehara will start the season on the disabled list as the Red Sox and Farrell try to patch together the backend of their bullpen, which starts with moving Edward Mujica into the closer's role for the time being.
"I don't have seven names to give you right now," Farrell said of his uncertain bullpen. "We've still got some things to determine how we're going to form the rotation, whether we go with an additional left-hander or right-hander, what the ramifications coming out of the mix for the short run, does that likely move Edward back into the closing role, and you're down to a couple of right-handers, likely three, with two being a little bit better against righties.
"All of these things are factored in. I do know this that we're in a point in time in camp where guys are throwing the ball as expected, that includes Robbie Ross, Matt Barnes. Brandon Workman's last time out was encouraging so as we get to final week of camp here, the guys we felt would be in contention for spots are moving in the right direction."
FORT MYERS, Fla. — With so many moving parts at once right now, it would be hard to blame manager John Farrell for choosing his words very carefully when asked to project his roster, including the catching position.

An interesting article on the subject: Effectiveness of Various Methods of Wort Aeration
"The purpose of these experiments was to evaluate
the effectiveness of different methods of aerating
wort for beer production. However, these
experiments were conducted using water rather
than wort, solely because of the significantly
greater expense of using wort. The solubility of
oxygen in a 12 °Plato wort is about 15-25% less
than in water, depending upon the temperature. It
is unlikely that this difference in oxygen solubility
would significantly affect the conclusions about
the aeration methods themselves."
Results: "The most rapid method of oxygenating the water
was achieved by the rocking/shaking method, in
which over 90% saturation was achieved in less
than 5 minutes of aeration."
"Best" is relative to what you want to spend in money and/or time. That paper has a lot of problems with it and it's been discussed here a few times. For one thing, they never verified that the test water was devoid of oxygen post boil. They may not have boiled long enough. They also didn't test working with an O2 tank and just wrote it off as too expensive to be practical. For who?

All I said was, I found it interesting. Doesn't mean I'm not skeptical.
I'll have to dig up the old thread and read through it.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply Bobby_M.
Funny thing about that... I've been using a pure O2 system for a while now and it's virtually zero effort for great results. Gone are the days of hurting my back, hips, etc from shaking a fermenter trying to get the proper O2 PPM level. I get there now, with a minute, or two, of pure O2 infusion.
Something to consider, when you get to higher gravity worts, and such, shaking simply won't cut it.
There's a thread from a while back, about the impact of using pure O2 to oxygenate wort instead of the other methods. Some of the participants brewed batches they had oxygenated with the shake method, or other methods, and then brewed again using pure O2... The pure O2 batches have cleaner flavors to them.
Also, initial hardware costs can range from rather cheap, to not so bad. I picked up the kit from Williams initially (air stone on a stainless wand, with the O2 regulator for small bottles). I've since moved to using a larger O2 tank that I had from a welding system (cost: $0) and picked up a flow meter regulator from ebray (cheap), using Bevlex to deliver the O2 from the regulator to the wand (very low cost). With how many batches you'll get out of a standard sized welding setup O2 tank, the cost per batch is tiny. The gain/benefit from using pure O2 to oxygenate has far more value than the costs (low cost, huge benefit).
I wonder if a 5 gallon paint shaker could be modified to work with a 7 gallon plastic fermenter? Those 5 gallon shakers are $$$$ but maybe a used one might turn up on ebay...
I just made an O2 oxygenator from some tubing, a disposable mini O2 tank valve (from Williams Brewing), and a .5 micron stone. I went through my first 40 gram tank of oxygen really fast, so I guess I'm using too much. Two five gallon carboys and three yeast starters is all she wrote. A tank and valve with some sort of flow meter would probably be more economical to use. Are the O2 tanks on those little portable oxy-acetylene torches that they sell at HD refillable?
Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs. -Lily Tomlin
Sulli, as someone with a bad back, shaking 6+ gallons of wort isn't really an option. Using pure O2 means I have zero risk of messing up my back oxygenating the wort. Call me crazy, but I prefer to be able to move without pain.
billtzk, those portable oxy-acetylene kits typically use the small tanks (like the 1.4oz red tank you can get from Lowes or Home[less] Depot, which cannot be refilled. Once you go to a larger tank, like a 20 cubic foot size, that uses a normal regulator, you can find a regulator with a flow meter in/on it pretty easily. Call around to welding gas suppliers in your area to see how much they are getting for a tank and regulator. You'll want one that has a gauge that reads on the low side too (something that goes from 0 to at least 8 LPM) so that you can better see what you're getting for flow.
Just make sure the tank you have will give you plenty of time before it needs to be certified again. My current tank was purchased in 1997 or 1998, so I'll probably need to replace it, instead of getting it filled. If I wanted to get it filled, I would need to get it recertified.
Thanks for that info Golddiggie. I bought a CO2-Argon gas cylinder from Home Depot for welding, and I can just exchange it for a filled cylinder whenever I run out. I just pay for the fill. If the tank needed to be recertified, it wouldn't be my cost. You might check to see if the place you purchased your tank from has an exchange program. Or you might check to see if a welding gas supplier would take your old tank in trade.
Do you know what the recertification cost is for an oxygen cylinder? For CO2 cylinders, it's cheap, like $15 or $20.
I used a wire whisk in the bk when I started brewing. Then moved to the aquarium pump with stone. Then after my second pump burned up (I was using cheapies) I just started allowing the wort to splash from the opening of the carboy to the base through my march pump. That is all the aerating that I do now and I get the same fermentation results I was getting with the whisk and the aeration stone methods. That is just my personal observations and is what works for my brew. I am not going to invest further than that on aeration equipment because I see no need to.
Single Vessel BIAB is all I need....Until we figure out the no vessel technique.
Wyeast didn't point to any studies to back it up, but they say pumping oxygen into the headspace and shaking for 20 seconds, twice, will give the same results (12 ppm dissolved o2) as 1 minute of oxygen through a stone. It is more work than a stone, but I saved thirty bucks by not having to buy the extra gear.Wyeast Laboratories. Customer Service FAQs

Jewelry and watches belonging to the legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum went under the hammer on Tuesday in Dubai.
April 29, 2009 1:59 by Dana El Baltaji
A Christie's auction of jewelry and other personal items belonging to Egypt's legendary Umm Kulthum was held in Dubai on Tuesday, reports Zawya Dow Jones. Included in the sale is a cultured pearl and paste festoon brooch given to the singer by the late Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, which sold for $30,000.
Umm Kalthoum is widely regarded as the one of the Arab world's most distinguished and influential singers. Born in 1904 into a poor family, Umm Kulthum was taught religious songs by her father, an Imam in a mosque. At the age of 12, he disguised his daughter as a boy and entered her in a performing troupe.
At the age of 16, she was noticed by a mildly successful Arab singer, Abol Ela Mohamed, and was soon recognized as one of Egypt's greatest talents.
Her death in 1975 prompted Egypt's second largest funeral gathering (after that of President Gamal Abdel Nasser); over four million mourners congregated in the Cairo, Egypt to pay their respects to 'The Lady', a term former French President Charles de Gaulle used to describe the singer.
Most of Umm Kalthoum's belongings Christie's Jewels and Watches Dubai Sale were bought by wealthy Middle Eastern businessmen who wished to remain anonymous.
In addition to the singer's jewelry and watches, Christie's auction featured 120 lots, netting a total of a $4 million. Of the 46 watches on sale, the highest netting lot was a platinum manually-wound tourbillion wristwatch by A. Lange & Söhne, which sold for $146,500 (AED538,124).
"Buying was selective but nearly three-quarters of the value of the sale was bought by Middle Eastern buyers, an encouraging sign of the developing jewelry and watch market in the region," said David Warren, director of jewelry for Christie's Middle East.
Middle Eastern buyers at Christie's auctions have increased by 400 percent since 2004.

Maybe Ray Kurzweil and Vernor Vinge were on the money. Except, it occurs to me, if the silicon valley companies come up with a singularity, why do they have to bring the rest of humanity along? In fact, the faster they accelerate, the longer it will take to disseminate the advanced technology, until at some point it cannot disseminate fast enough. So they'll just disappear by themselves!
Incidentally, I'm not sure this is a dupe; the first article said that HP did it and this one says that now CalTech has done it. They were working independently. It's nice to have an independent lab reproduce your results. Just ask Pons and Fleischmann.
The article says they were working in cooperation.

after the upgrade via OTA to version 4.4.2 kitkat galaxy s4 rear of the camera no longer works, or has worked better in a month 3 times. I state that I have performed a hard reset before and after upgrading. I tried to install (uninstall ÀThen) also third-party applications to see if it worked in this case but nulla.Ho tried to clear the cache but nothing. On the rare times that worked I noticed that opened handling the camera, but the screen remained black, if I tried to activate the front camera and it worked if I tried to reactivate the rear sometimes worked but all with a lag to be frightening. I do not think it is a hardware problem but software. The'm trying them all but I can not get it to work; another proof that I have done is to use the qrcode reader but nothing works even with quell'app.
I thank those who can give me a hand.

Horrible business by AMG - 03/15/2013
I walked in to order a part for my Yamaha. The Punk in the parts department with all the horrible tattoos would not even order the part for me. He told me to go to tri-city down the street or Plaza cycle. What a waist of time going in there. They are suppose to sell Yamaha parts. The whole time this punk had a bad attitude and complained about the bad economy is why they don't sell much Yamaha stuff.>> DON'T GO IN HERE.!! They just need to go out of business and leave this city
Incompetent Service Dept. by Jay Beardsley - 03/04/2013
I brought my Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic in to get a charging system fixed. I checked the bike in with Steve and he seemed nice when I checked it in. Steve claimed that there mechanic didnt see anything wrong with my charging system but that my driving lights were wired in all messed up. So he claimed to fix it. When I came to pick up my bike, they charged me $200 and I heard him start my bike and the biked had trouble starting due to weak battery (clue #1). Then he brought my bike out and the headlights or driving lights were never wired in. He then apologizes and tells me the mechanic no longer works here. So I told him to fix it and left the bike with them. About an hour later I decided to pick up the bike because they said it would be another $100 dollars to fix what they claimed was fixed int the first place. I wasnt going to pay another $100. So I took my bike to another Kawasaki dealer in south of the valley. They had it for 2 hrs and said that my charging system definately had a problem, The stators were weak and that when the bike was idleing, it was draining my battery and when I was at 3000rpm, the battery was barely breaking even. I will never step foot into Full Throttle again and will tell all my friends to never come here.
Bad service dept by Unhappy - 04/23/2009
I had a bad experience with the service dept. They fixed my snowmobile under warranty and then told me if that didn't fix it to not come back. I had gone here for many years and couldn't believe it. I will never walk in there again.

"The wind howled like a child screaming... it was so strong, our houseboat nearly got flipped over," said Rigor Sambol, 52, who lives in a coastal shanty area near Manila.
"I had to take the children one by one to a nearby gym where they spent the evening on the cold floor," he told the AFP news agency.
Typhoon belt
"I nearly lost my three-year-old when he fell into the water because he got knocked down by the strong winds."
By Wednesday morning the storm had blown past Luzon and into the South China Sea, but some international flights in and out of Manila were still cancelled while others were delayed.
Classes at many schools were suspended.
The Philippines lies in the so-called typhoon belt of the western Pacific and is swept by up to 20 cyclones a year, killing hundreds of people.
Conson was the first of the storm of the 2010 season, and its ferocity took the 12 million residents of Manila by surprise.
On Wednesday the country's newly installed president, Benigno Aquino, criticised the state weather service for not giving adequate warning to Manila residents that Conson would hit the city.
"This is not acceptable," Aquino told red-faced weather service officials at an emergency meeting of rescue agencies.
"We rely on you to tell us where the potential problems are."
Many Manila residents had apparently been assured by forecasters' bulletins that Conson would hit the northern provinces instead of Manila.
However, the weather service failed to mention that the typhoon had a wide radius of 300km.

WASHINGTON — Past its own New Year's deadline, a weary Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation to avoid a national fiscal cliff of middle class tax increases and spending cuts late Tuesday night in the culmination of a struggle that strained America's divided government to the limit.
The bill's passage on a 257-167 vote in the House sealed a hard-won political triumph for the president less than two months after he secured re-election while calling for higher taxes on the wealthy.
Moments after the vote, Obama strode into the White House briefing room and declared, Thanks to the votes of Republicans and Democrats in Congress I will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing tax hikes that could have sent the economy back into recession.
He spoke with Vice President Joe Biden at his side, a recognition of the former senator's role as the lead Democratic negotiator in final compromise talks with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
In addition to neutralizing middle class tax increases and spending cuts taking effect with the new year, the legislation will raise tax rates on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. That was higher than the thresholds of $200,000 and $250,000 that Obama campaigned for. But remarkably, in a party that swore off tax increases two decades ago, dozens of Republicans supported the bill at both ends of the Capitol.
The Senate approved the measure on a vote of 89-8 less than 24 hours earlier, with the support of Pennsylvania's two senators, Bob Casey, D-Scranton, and Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville. In the interim, rebellious House conservatives demanded a vote to add significant spending cuts to the measure. But in the end they retreated.
Supporters of the bill in both parties expressed regret that it was narrowly drawn, and fell far short of a sweeping plan that combined tax changes and spending cuts to reduce federal deficits. That proved to be a step too far in the two months since Obama called congressional leaders to the White House for a postelection stab at compromise.
Majority Republicans did their best to minimize the bill's tax increases, just as they abandoned their demand from earlier in the day to add spending cuts to the package.
By making Republican tax cuts permanent, we are one step closer to comprehensive tax reform that will help strengthen our economy and create more and higher paychecks for American workers, said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi also said the legislation included permanent tax relief for the middle class, and she summoned lawmakers to provide bipartisan support as the Senate did.
The bill would also prevent an expiration of extended unemployment benefits for an estimated 2 million jobless, block a 27 percent cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients, stop a $900 pay increase for lawmakers from taking effect in March and head off a threatened spike in milk prices.
It would stop $24 billion in across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect over the next two months, although only about half of that total would be offset with savings elsewhere in the budget.
The economic as well as political stakes were considerable.
Economists have warned that without action by Congress, the tax increases and spending cuts that technically took effect with the turn of the new year at midnight could send the economy into recession.
Even with enactment of the legislation, taxes are on the rise for millions.
A 2 percentage point temporary cut in the Social Security payroll tax, originally enacted two years ago to stimulate the economy, expired with the end of 2012. Neither Obama nor Republicans made a significant effort to extend it.
House Republicans spent much of the day struggling to escape a political corner they found themselves in.
I personally hate it, Rep. John Campbell of California, said of the measure, giving voice to the concern of many Republicans that it did little or nothing to cut spending.
The speaker the day after the election said we would give on taxes and we have. But we wanted spending cuts. This bill has spending increases. Are you kidding me? So we get tax increases and spending increases? Come on.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters at one point, I do not support the bill. We are looking, though, for the best path forward.
Within hours, Republicans abandoned demands for changes and agreed to a simple yes-or-no vote on the Senate-passed bill.
They feared that otherwise the Senate would refuse to consider any alterations, sending the bill into limbo and saddling Republicans with the blame for a whopping middle class tax increase. One Senate Democratic leadership aide said Majority Leader Harry Reid would absolutely not take up the bill if the House changed it. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity, citing a requirement to keep internal deliberations private.
Despite Cantor's remarks, Speaker John Boehner took no public position on the bill as he sought to negotiate a conclusion to the final crisis of a two-year term full of them.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said the measure would add nearly $4 trillion over a decade to federal deficits, a calculation that assumed taxes would otherwise have risen on taxpayers at all income levels.
The relative paucity of spending cuts was a sticking point with many House Republicans. Among other items, the extension of unemployment benefits costs $30 billion, and is not offset by savings elsewhere.
Others said unhappiness over spending outweighed fears that the financial markets will plunge on Wednesday if the fiscal cliff hasn't been averted.
With the Treasury expected to need an expansion in borrowing authority by early spring, and funding authority for most government programs set to expire in late March, Republicans have made it clear they intend to use those events as leverage with the administration to win savings from Medicare and other government benefit programs.

Anybody who would bother to post something negative about Dr. Brenda Snipes is no less than mistaken and not worthy of responding to.
Just to clear the record -- Dr. Snipes is friendly to everyone. I would bet that the person who just wrote is a supporter of the opponent. Speaking of opponent...where did this person come from? Who is she and what has she EVER done? The opponent has no expeience with complex elections as they are today. Why did the opponent choose Dr. Brenda Snipes,the most honset and truthworthy person in the County to run against? Is the opponent crazy? I hear the opponent is sending political e-mail while working for BSO and doing this at the expense of taxpayers.

"I am voting for Dr. Adrian Reesey."
You should take a little closer look at her "Dr." title. It is from unaccredited Kennedy-Western "University" that was the focus of a Senate Hearing on Diploma Mills in 2004 called "Bogus Degrees and Unmet Expectations, are Taxpayer Dollars Subsidizing Diploma Mills?"
