I have a stout that was too sweet and so i threw beta amylase in there. Since it was too sweet, i did not add the lactose, but really would love to have it for the mouthfeel. The stout is finally not nearly as sweet as it used to be and I was wondering if I added the lactose, would the beat amylase break it down?
Would it remove the sweetness? how about the mouthfeel?
Thanks for any help.
No, lactose lacks the type of bond that beta amylase is active on.
i will take a gravity reading of the way it is currently to get an idea and then add some. Because it finished high, i most likely wont add all the recipe stated to add, but i will certainly add some.
Lactase cleaves the lactose molecule into its two subunits, the simple sugars glucose and galactose.
You might consider adding maltodextrin to improve the mouthfeel. It's about half as sweet as lactose.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

Talking apples and oranges here. Lactose is a sugar, which is to say it's the output of that reaction, not the input.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylase
Lactose is not the product of beta amylase mediated hydrolysis, maltose is.

The RGV Dorados (7-6) play their final regular season road game against the Tulsa Talons (11-2). This is the only meeting between the two teams.
RGV occupies the No. 6 playoff position and clinched a postseason berth with last week's win over Oklahoma City. The Dorados could move up as high as the No. 3 seed if they can take the Southwest Division title (currently held by Arkansas, 9-4). Bossier-Shreveport (8-5) currently holds the No. 5 position.
Tulsa has already clinched the Central Division title and can finish no lower than third in the National Conference playoff race.
RGV has struggled, winning just twice in the last seven games after starting the season 5-1. The Talons had gone undefeated in 10 games (April 11-June 19) until falling to Tennessee Valley 55-39 on June 27.
• QB Nick Hill set a team record with 416 passing yards in the loss at Amarillo on June 6.
• Hill has been sacked 10 times in the last three games (once last week, five times by Arkansas on June 27, four times by Bossier-Shreveport on June 20).
• Radamez Rubio went 2-for-2 on field goals last week. His 31-yard boot with less than a minute to go in regulation was the deciding factor in the game. Rubio had only attempted four field goal prior to last week's game.
• Tulsa has scored the third-most points in af2 play this season (808) for an average of 62.2 per game. RGV's average of 57.6 (749 total points) is eighth overall.
• WR Rod Windsor is on pace to break several af2 records and is among the top-3 in several receiving categories.
• Four of the highest scoring games by an opponent in team history have occurred this season, all on the road.
This is the 10th all-time regular-season meeting. RGV is 2-7 vs. the Talons.RGV has not beaten Tulsa on the road in five regular season contests. The Dorados are 2-2 vs. Tulsa at Dodge Arena. The Talons have taken the four out of the last five regular season matchups dating back to 2005. RGV went 1-1 during the 2005 regular season and later defeated the Talons in the second round of the playoffs to advance to the National Conference Finals.

HIDALGO, Texas — The Rio Grande Valley Dorados (7-6) clinched a spot in the postseason with a 46-43 win over the Oklahoma City Yard Dogs (7-7) Friday night at Dodge Arena in front of 4,062 fans. Nick Hill threw five TD passes and found Rod Windsor in the end zone four times. Hill finished with 234 yards on 18 completions (18-38-1). Windsor collected three of his four TDs in the second half. Radamez Rubio's 31-yard field goal with 49.5 seconds remaining in the game proved to be the deciding factor. OKC's Robert Kent connected with Al Hunt four times and finished 12-for-32 with 231 yards. RGV's Dahnel Singfield picked off Hunt's first pass of the second half in what proved to be the only interception of the night. Hunt led all receivers with 180 yards on seven receptions.

I have a friend who purchased a full keg of Hofbrau hefeweizen for a party and only finished half. He is now having to return the keg and is willing to give me as much as I can take... for free! I am going to take over a corny or 2 and fill them, but am I going to have any problems filling a corny with pre-carbonated beer? Is it going to be too foamy and Ill loose space due to all the head? Should I shake the beer in the corny to release the carbonation, purge it and apply my own pressure to the flat beer to save space? Thanks for any advice!
Don't shake anything!
Try to have the full and the empty kegs as cold as possible, use a minimal amount of pressure, and hope for the best.
Once you fill the corny, apply CO2 and purge a few times, like you normally do with homebrew.
I sure hope he used CO2 and not a manual air pump for this keg! Otherwise it'll probably be stale.
What you need is a pop check valve and hook it up to the gas in. What we used to do at the brewery is fill into the beverage out and then vent out the gas. So you hook up the co2 to the sankey, hook the sanke up to the corney and then vent the corney. The pop check valve allows you to control the pressure inside the corney so it doesn't burst. When the pop check vents foam, it's full enough.
But be careful you could really hurt yourself.
Best solution is if you can connect a ball or pin lock disconnect to a sanke beer-out line. That way you can transfer under a small negative pressure to avoid foaming. You basically keep the corny sealed up, and relieve some pressure from the pressure relief valve every so often. This keeps the pressure balanced, and the CO2 will stay in solution.
If you don't feel like cutting up a beer line for that, I would think that your idea of shaking to relieve some of the carbonation in the commercial keg would be a good bet. Let it warm up, shake the crap out of it, relieve pressure, and then let it sit for a while before you start to transfer. You will want to try to fill from the bottom of the corny, and purge the keg with CO2 before you start.
This is all hinged upon the assumption that your buddy was using CO2 to push the beer. If he was using a hand pump, you might as well go over there and drink as much as you can tonight. Tomorrow it will be liquid cardboard (if its not already).
It has been said already but repeating for emphasis: If the beer was served with a pump-style tap for any time whatsoever, forget it. It's not even worth the trouble. I'm going to bet that it was.
Welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you.New 100% Stainless Steel Heating Elements are IN! ULWD 5500w Ripple, 2000w, 1500w, etcChugger Pumps, Pump Kits, Camlocks, Sightglasses, Clear USA made Silicone Tubing, RIMS, Electric Install Parts, etc.
Well I know that co2 was used, so I do have that going for me! The current sankey has a cobra tap and I was thinking I might be able to remove the cobra and replace it with a beer-in ball valve. If I pressurize the corny keg, and purge the oxygen, then attach the ball valve, I should be able to draw the beer from the sankey to the corny filling it from the bottom just by releasing some of the pressure through the purge valve. This could potentially solve the issue of massive amounts of head. Does this sound correct?

He was on again today. <—watch it.
Not only is this downright evil, it's friggin scary.
**Steps back on to my privacy soapbox**
What if you pissed off the wrong people, asked the wrong questions, held the wrong views…. a year, 10 or even 20 years from now? Don't you just want government running health care and having access to your private records? (not that it matters in this case as they are just making shit up )
h/t To a hot air commenter for this.
Pay special attention to #39.
We here at BPChicks usually bitch about people playing the crazy card as an excuse or as using it as a defense; and here an accusation is being used as a weapon.
More food for thought on health care:
We forget that once we have government-sponsored health care, it can be used to justify almost any restraint on liberty.
Patricia Hewitt, the British Health Secretary, says that it's appropriate to decline treatment on the basis of 'lifestyle choices.'" Steyn adds, "Smokers and the obese may look at their gay neighbor having unprotected sex with multiple partners, and wonder why his 'lifestyle choices' get a pass while theirs don't. But that's the point: Tyranny is always whimsical."

NASA to Launch Balloons From Sweden
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — U.S. space agency NASA plans to launch several massive helium balloons from a northern Sweden launch pad this summer, officials said Wednesday.
The balloon campaign will begin either in May or June when a large – and heavy – telescope will be launched, along with a test flight of a newly developed long-last balloon vehicle.
NASA plans to launch balloons for westward flights, from Esrange to Alaska.
The giant helium-filled balloons have a volume of up to 1.3 million cubic yards.
The campaign is part of the space agency's way of using the balloons to lift heavy payloads – astronomical telescopes and other heavy equipment for astrophysical experiments and research into cosmic radiation – to an altitude of about 25 miles.
From Esrange, NASA's balloons will be able to remain aloft for longer periods than from other launch sites, because of prevailing winds in the northern region and because the balloons' trajectory on their way to Alaska would not cross Russia, which has not granted permission for the balloons to pass through its air space.
The flights are being conducted by NASA and the Palestine, Texas-based National Balloon Facility in cooperation with the Swedish Space Corp. at Esrange.
Because of the balloons' size, Swedish Space is in the process of doubling the size of its launching pad to 2,640 by 1,650 feet.
"This campaign is a milestone for SSC. Large investments have been made at Esrange, regarding increased infrastructure and facilities. We are well prepared for the mission and the plan is to carry out similar balloon campaigns together with NASA and also European scientists every summer," Esrange director Olle Norberg said.
Since flights started in 1974, about 450 scientific balloons have been launched from Esrange, which is situated near Kiruna, 765 miles north of the capital, Stockholm.
The first launch will carry the BLAST telescope aloft. The 5,940 pound telescope will reach an altitude of 25 miles and the flight will take between six to nine days.
"It's the first time such a flight will be made, regarding payload weight in combination with altitude, duration and flight trajectory," Norberg said. "BLAST will address some of the most important cosmological and galactic questions regarding the formation and evolution of stars, galaxies and clusters."
The NASA Balloon Program's capabilities are being expanded with the development of the ultra-long duration balloon vehicle, or ULDB. The balloon is made of advanced materials and uses a pumpkin-shaped design to achieve flights with duration of up to 100 days.

Northern Gardeners - When do you "top" your tomatoes?
I am in zone 4 WI. My tomatoes are all over 8 ft tall. Some have been producing well, some not so much. I am wondering at what point I should think about topping off my plants to direct the energy to the already formed tomatoes. If the flower to fruit timing is the same as it is at the beginning of the cycle, I would think that now is the time, but I have heard that as the weather cools off they move along a little faster.
Any advice?
I don't top my plants but I remove any small tomatoes that don't have a chance. If you are in z4 your growing season has to be coming to an end rapidly.....maybe 4 weeks at best for tomatoes. I find that as the weather cools and the sun angle lowers and the days get shorter, the plants slow down, not speed up.
I never top tomato plants because I want that foliage feeding the plants and protecting the tomatoes. I have never in my life grown an 8 foot tall tomato plant, so maybe I should not speak to your situation. The question I have is why removing foliage helps the development of tomatoes in any way? It seems counterintuitive because the leaves make energy which the plant needs to develop the fruit, do they not? And new healthy leaves replace the damaged ones or the tired old ones that simply yellow and drop, so it seems to be a zero sum late in the season.
I do snip off flower clusters and tiny tomatoes, though, around Labor Day.
It has been my observation that the shorter days and cooler nights towards the end of the season slow down the growth of the plants but speeds up the ripening of the tomatoes.
I consider September to still be a decent growing month in zone 4, even though the first night frosts usually occur. By blanketing my plants on the nights of those first frosts I can often keep my plants well into October, although the quality of the fruit declines (but is still better than any store-bought garbage). Strange growing season this year, though, so I do not know what kind of Autumn season is in store for us. An early winter perhaps?
Wishing best of luck,
P.S. At the end of the season please update this thread with what you did, when you did it, how well it worked, what you would do differently. :)
I just read an article in Fine Gardening about tomato pruning that recommends topping the plants a month before the first frost. By topping the tomato plant you force it to divert all of it's energy to the fruits that have already been formed, instead of trying to grow more leaves and fruits that will never get a chance to mature before the weather turns. I've never tried it before but am going to this year, probably around the beginning of September.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fine Gardening Tomato Pruning Article
Mine have never grown that tall, but usually to a good 5 feet! I always try to pinch off the suckers but haven't done that in a while! If you don't top off your tomatoes, a storm might do it for you and cause more damage to it! Did you know that you can root a tomato branch in water and replant it? You could stick the topped off part in water and then plant it in a container or in the garden if it makes you too sad about taking off half the plant!
Thank for the input. Mine grow so tall because I do not have a sunny yard, so they get six hours of direct sun maximum. It doesnt stop them from producing, just makes them tall. I tie them really well up to about 6 ft , a couple of branches have folded over, but mostly they are still reaching for the sky.
I will take Tom's advice and snip off flower clusters and tomatoes under golfball size around Labor day. It has been such wierd weather this summer with all of the heat. A couple of plants have not produced well at all (5-8 tomatoes), while the Genovese Romas have 35-50 fruit on each.
I never top my tomatoes. And mine do get 7-8' tall, I start them from seed in March and by now they are pretty huge. Everything depends on the year, some years they produce well into October, so I don't want to rid myself of that late fruit.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I may have misinterpreted your post based on foolishpleasure's comments. Just how much were you thinking of taking off? Feet, inches, or just the tips? I am now interested in testing this so on Labor Day I will remove just the tips on a few plants to see what happens.
BTW my brother's tomatoes and a neighbor's tomatoes often reach 7-8 feet, so I am not surprised by your success. Mine have never reached those heights because the fruit load always pulls the plants down or bends the branches over.
I know I need a better caging method, and I am in the middle of designing some taller ones. But as lizbeth_pa alluded to, around here they need to be strong and anchored well or winds and storms will blow the entire thing over.
I checked out peachymomo's link and found it to be very interesting. I think it is time for me to learn some new things about growing tomatoes. I for one would sure appreciate getting ripe tomatoes two weeks sooner if all I had to do was follow their advice on a few plants.
Nice mater plants there, grow_darnit.
Grow-darnit - is each one of those massive bushes a single plant? Or are you grouping a few together in each planting.? Mine get that tall, but they sure dont get that bushy!
And - yes I was thinking in terms of just the top inch or so of the growing branches.
Here is a pic of mine. 8 plants per 9x4.5 bed, built a bamboo "swing set" shaped trellace about 6ft tall, and used a combination of tying directly to the bamboo and weaving string between the poles. In the past week or so I have had to remove quite q few lower leaves due to fungus or blight. Next year I will only try 6 plants per bed.
In a previous post I stated "I may have misinterpreted your post based on foolishpleasure's comments." - Sorry, bad sentence structure. What I meant was that foolishpleasure's comments enlightened me and I realized I may have been misinterpreting the original question.
mandolls, your plants look very nice. You probably can not do anything about it, but if your tomato plants could get more than 6 hours per day of sunlight I think you would have much better production. Can a branch or two be trimmed out of a tree, perhaps, to allow more sunlight for next season?
I took a few quick pics this morning that show some of my plants and some of the fruit:
I neglected to comment on your plant spacing of 8 plants per 9x4.5 bed - seems awful tight which might explain why so tall and not producing. Grow_darnit uses a spacing of 5.5 between plants, which is great. I still space mine at 4 feet between plants and six feet between rows. Between rows spacing seems to work but yeah, 4 feet between plants seems a bit tight and the plants become a tangled mess for me, but I deal with it. My 'mater plants take up enough garden space and I refuse to allot them more square footage at this time. Fifty plants each year. :)
Lunch over, back to work for me.
Tom - I have looked at your facebook or photobucket? page and admired your gardens. They are an inspiration.
Grow-darnit - I am amazed at the size of those! What kind of cage structure do you use to fence those monsters in?
I keep expanding my garden and I keep running out of room. I am only on a 1/2 acre lot (slightly less). So I have tended to plant things way to crowded. I am also only in my 3rd year of vegetable gardening and still on a pretty steep learning curve. First year garden had 3 tomato plants, 2nd-8, this year 16. I had already decided that next year I would plant only 12 in the same space, but I may narrow that back down to 8.
The Maple tree that is the main shade cuplrit is on the property line. I talked the neighbor into letting me take off a few branches, but it will be hard convincing him to really take down what I need for sun. My production on everything is way under what it could be, but there are only two of us eating out of this garden (and my partner doesnt even like tomatoes!), so its really not that big of an issue if I dont get tons of food. I have about 25 tomatoes that are ripe and sitting on my counter that I need to deal with tonight
The whole thing is planted more with "garden" in mind than "farm". Raised beds, wood chip paths, lots of flowers mixed in with everything.

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN TEXAS Legal efforts to enfranchise women in Texas can be traced to 1868, when Rep. T. H. Mundine of Burleson introduced a woman suffrage bill in the state legislature. In the following five decades Texas women formed suffrage organizations to lobby for the right to vote. The suffragists included Rebecca Henry Hayes, who organized the Texas Equal Rights Association (TERA) in 1893; and sisters Annette, Elizabeth, and Katherine Finnigan, who founded the Texas Woman Suffrage Association (TWSA) in 1903. The TWSA, renamed the Texas Equal Suffrage Association (TESA) in 1916, led the final push for voting rights. The movement's leaders during this period included Jane Y.

Sling Media's new SlingCatcher lets you watch video from a Slingbox, from a computer, or from almost any Internet video site on your television. TechRepublic's gadget guru, Shawn Morton got a first-hand demonstration of the SlingCatcher at CES 2008.
(You would have to be a NASA engineer to run this one.)---my computer is sticking---it's like there's something stopping the picture---I could try your forum thank you---The forum said that I needed to boot to a different code than my computer is capable of running so I'm returning the unit.
Um, this isn't new..the tech has been around forever. But if you don't like installing software to make any computer do this...then this is the product for you!
The point of the SlingCatcher is that you don't need a PC attached to your TV to stream content to it. If you just use SlingCatcher with a Slingbox (to placeshift content), you don't need a PC at all. A big trend in products at CES 2008 was ease of use and simplicity of set up. People don't want to install and configure software on their PC to get stuff like this to work. They don't want a PC in their living room connected to their TV. While I would have loved to have had this product on the market already, I don't agree that it is "8 years too late."
With a slingcatcher, they can load it up with demos and only carry the slingcatcher into demo sites. Hook it to a display or TV and play back the demos. If you want a live demo from the home office, works there too. I too agree that it makes sense! Good Job SlingBox!

i've a problem with universal app on iOS iPhone4s/5 iPad, using a 3 different Storyboards, but with same class file .h .m for all application.
I create a button share with a popUp view and woking very well, when i tap on mail button iside the popUp view on the iPad working and present mail composer, but the same stuff in storyboard, with the same class on iPhone 4/5 open a mail level under the popup.
here coding using to send email:
- (IBAction)mailCompose:(id)sender {
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
MFMailComposeViewController *mail = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mail.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mail setSubject:@"Try MyRadioRed Now"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"", nil];
[mail setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSString *emailBody = @"MyHTML text";
UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"lockScreen.png"];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage);
[mail addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:@"image/png" fileName:@"myImge"];
[mail setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
mail.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
[self presentViewController:mail animated:YES completion:nil];
On iPad loading correct the popup view and when tap on email button, load the Mail Composer over the popup view
On iPhone loading correct the popupView, but when tap on email button, mail compose load under the popupview:
Is very strange because I'am not change the code on class and the object on the storyboards, I have to copy and paste storyborad obj with the same setting and using only one class reference for all.
Have idea what happen? how to solve this issue?

3 arrested in burglary-shop-drug scheme
BRADFORD Vermont State Police have charged three people in connection with burglaries at several homes in which the stolen items were swapped for drugs at a consignment shop.
Police have accused Troy Perry, the owner of Seasons Consignment Shop in Bradford, of trading methadone and marijuana in place of cash for the stolen items, which include a rifle and ammunition. They found about 100 marijuana plants in his home.
Perry was issued a citation to appear in Orange County Court in September on multiple drug charges, possession of stolen property, and use of a firearm during the sale of a drug.
Also arrested were Kevin Fuller and Jennifer Burke, of Vershire, on charges of burglary, grand larceny and possession of stolen property.MORE IN This Just InWhen a playwright who has achieved success with dark realistic drama turns his pen to comedy, it...

Painting over/patching Ralph Lauren Linen textured paint?
In my kids bathroom I did a medium denim color Ralph Lauren linen (textured) paint several years ago, I really like its sort of beachy feeling in there.
However, I now need to update the light fixture- one of those old bar "hollywood" looking things, and I dont know what to do about this paint. I dont even remember the color I used anymore but I dont think I have any hope of matching the linen weave to fill in the areas that will now be uncovered when I remove this light bar. I might be stuck repainting the entire bathroom, but if so, How does one repaint over this texture?
Any advice??
I also am going to paint the oak vanity cabinets so if anyone has advice on that too. I would replace it but with another baby on the way, I think it makes sense to keep the super low height for a while longer. I'm hoping paint will make it less ugly for now!
Can you make an ornamental band or panel of paint that covers the area that isn't textured? Or frame around the new light with some molding and paint the inside of the framed area a solid color?
As for the oak vanity: Gel stain from General finishes can make them into nice dark "pottery barn" looking things with a minimum of work.
Here is a link that might be useful: Gel stain

Almost too pretty to use!" by Annie
I love these spoons. They are so pretty and make it easy to measure out spices etc. when cooking. Only minor downside is that the beaks are a bit sharp and can give you a bit of a jab if you're not careful.
This review is for an older version of this product
Very pretty, but ......" by Jacqueline
These measuring spoons really are very pretty, but I wish the description included the fact that the "hoop" is actually made of leather.

Climate pledges: Deadline sees slow but promising start
A rough deadline for Tuesday saw only 33 out of 195 countries submit pledges for tackling greenhouse gases under UN climate talks scheduled to conclude just over eight months from now.
United States sets official strategy for Paris climate talks
The Obama administration on Tuesday published plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions up to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, part of a strategy to generate momentum for a global agreement later this year on combating climate change.
Climate change: Russia sketches emissions cut of up to 30%
Russia, moving ahead of a deadline for submitting pledges to tackle climate change, has said it could cut its greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 30% compared to 1990 levels, subject to conditions.
Leading economies miss UN deadline to file climate change pledges
Japan, Canada and Australia all failed to meet the March 31 deadline, as did China, the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, although Beijing has already publicly outlined its plans.
Financial Times
US pledge on emission cut likely to raise the heat on India, others
The United States on Tuesday made its most ambitious pledge to the UN to reduce its carbon pollution, a move that experts say would put more pressure on countries like India to act against emissions, the chief contributor to worsening air quality.
Economic Times
US climate treaty pledge relies on uncertain Obama actions
The United States put forth its contribution Tuesday to a global climate treaty, relying entirely on a set of emission cuts ordered by President Barack Obama that may not survive beyond the end of his presidency.
Limiting climate change could have huge economic benefits, study finds
Major economies would boost their prosperity, employment levels and health prospects if they took actions that limited global warming to 2c, according to the first analysis of emissions pledges made before the UN climate summit in Paris later this year.

7/8/2014 (8 months ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Scientists from the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in North Carolina have identified the fossils of what could be the largest flying bird ever found.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/8/2014 (8 months ago)
Published in Technology
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The fossil belongs to Pelagornis sandersi, a bird with an estimated 20-to-24-foot wingspan, twice the size of today's biggest flying bird, the royal albatross.
End world hunger through "prayer and action."
These researchers believe that P. sandersi lived between 25-28 million years ago.
This avian giant had long, slender wings and paper-thin, hollow bones that allowed it to stay aloft for long distances without having to flap its wings, the center said.
The P. sandersi may have been so big that it wouldn't have been able to take off from a standstill. Instead, P. sandersi may have had to run downhill into a headwind to achieve takeoff-just like a hang glider would.
This massive bird's fossils were first unearthed 31 years ago, when construction workers started working on a new terminal at Charleston International Airport in South Carolina. The remains, which included a complete skull and multiple wing and leg bones, were so big they had to be dug up with a backhoe.
The discovery wasn't publicized until this week though, when scientists unveiled their findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
These massive remains now rest in the Charleston Museum. The big bird's name honors a retired curator at the museum, Albert Sanders.

mehh i just realized that yamato is also part of root..
i kind of overlooked that before oO
he's first introduced in 284 as an anbu with a catlike mask
a chapter after that sai gets visited by that unknown root superior with a weird mask and long hair (?)
and at the end of 286 we actually see yamato holding that very same weird mask
whats up with that?? i didn't notice that until now... it kind of makes no sense to me, because yamato seemed quite surprised by sais REAL mission afterall
and he hasn't acted suspicios at all..
i don't recall any discussion regarding this.. so i'll keep it short: what the hell is up with that??

I have been working at Daktronics as an intern (more than a year)
Students have an incentive to work 20 hours to earn an extra $1 an hour, and get raises twice a year, and get a $.20 raise for every class you have passed with an A or B that is on the company class list.
Place a lot of responsibility in their students, can be good at times and can be bad at times.
Have a better hiring process, took 2 months from application to get an interview, and another 2 weeks to hear about being accepted as a new employee. I know they lose a lot of good students because they don't have the time to wait on Personell.

This past week of contract negotiations at the Metropolitan Opera has been notable for the absence of any new PowerPoint presentations or fustian proclamations. One can only hope that this means that serious negotiations are, in fact, taking place. While we all sit huddled in Dante Park, telephoto lenses trained on the Grand Tier, eagerly awaiting news, we pass the time in speculation. Some thoughts after the jump. Read more »
La Cieca hears that the Met's planned production of West Side Story in the 2017-2018 season has been shelved. No word yet on how (or whether) the company will salute the centennial of Leonard Bernstein's birth.
Short answer: yes. But let's begin by dismissing a blatant canard. One thing that the Metropolitan Opera does not need to do is to scale back the number of performances in a season.
The greater New York Metropolitan area has 20 million people. 54.3 million tourists visited New York City in 2013. Many millions of people attend theater performances in New York City each year. Those numbers suggest to me that with an astute artistic approach, enhancements to the experience of attending the Met, outreach, marketing, ticket pricing, and a more sensible budget, the Metropolitan Opera should be able to thrive while producing 200 or more performances per season.
So what, specifically, will bring an audience to the Met for all those performances? Read more »
The Met's financial challenges are not meteorological, demographic, or cyclical; they are structural.
Our Own JJ (not pictured) offers his recommendations for 10 opera and classical music events worth hearing this spring.
Peter Gelb, the Met's general manager… has engaged Mr. Domingo to sing Don Carlo in Ernani next season, Simon Boccanegra the following season and Nabucco in 2016-17."
The highlight of the Bayerische Staatsoper's 2014-2015 season is a new production of Manon Lescaut featuring Anna Netrebko and Jonas Kaufmann, directed by Claus Guth.
AGMA's Alan Gordon warns his membership of a possible lockout by the Met if contract negotiations break down this summer.
Goddess Anna Caterina Antonacci takes the "Sophia Loren" starring role in La Ciociara, a new work premiering at San Francisco Opera in June, 2015.
La Cieca has it on very good authority that the 2014-2015 Met season will include a revival of Verdi's Macbeth featuring Anna Netrebko.

Do you have a DIY Disaster story?
Hi gang,
If you are a DIY'er, you probably have one -- the famous DIY Disaster story! We're looking for some examples of a project that went awry or a remodel that flopped. You might have just scrapped it and moved on or maybe you had to call in professional help. If you have photos to share -- that would be even better. You can post them here, or email me directly if you'd prefer. Just click on my profile link.
This is strictly for internal use and we won't be sharing them or using them in content. Any questions, please let me know.

You are aware of the Canadian show Disaster DIY?
As a spec builder/renovator, my disasters have been strictly of the financial variety!
I have one but it didn't happen to me- it happened to another woman in woodworking class. She had removed some interior walls to open up the space. A woodworker friend stopped by and commented, it kinda looks like the walls are leaning. The house ended up collapsing and she had to tear it down. You prob cant use it, since it's not me, but you must admit its a good story!

Malaysians woke up today with the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) applied to, well, basically almost everything. Despite that, there are still plenty of confusion among consumers: will this be more expensive after GST? Will that product's price be the same after GST? Now that GST is finally upon us, we can finally lay to rest some of these concerns, especially with regards to the brands that are most relevant to you, our dear readers.
Malaysian consumers may not have a lot to cheer about these days, as the onset of GST in less than two days painting a gloomy picture for all of us. However, there is something to be happy about, and it's from an unlikely source: the "necessary evils" that are our local telcos.
The first edition of the Major All Stars Dota 2 Tournament has finally come to a conclusion.World-class teams played from around the world battled against each other for a piece of the $100,000 prize pool (about RM399,000). All eight teams – Natus Vincere, Invictus Gaming, Empire, Ninjas in Pyjamas, RAVE, Can't Say Wips, Redemption, and Invasion – showed great skill and strategy over the three days. And on the final day, the Major All Stars trophy found its inaugural owner, Invictus Gaming from China.
What was it like being at South East Asia's largest Dota 2 Tournament? As the first Dota 2 tournament in Malaysia to be held in a stadium, this tournament was more significant with the statement that it carried, and not just the prize pool. Having been there from Day 1, here's how MAS 2015 looked from my eyes.
The local e-sports scene will be shaken from tomorrow, as the Major All Stars Dota 2 Tournament kicks off right here in Malaysia at Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam. If you haven't gotten your tickets for a weekend's worth of top-class Dota 2 action, here are 10 reasons why you should be.
The new U Mobile iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus bundles does indeed look very promising. Its new iPlans offers the cheapest option in the market starting from RM40 a month, and comes with plenty of data, suitable for today's users. But how do the new plans stack up against the big 3 telcos who have been offering the iPhone for many years now? Check out our price comparison after the break.
At MWC 2015, I was able to catch up on Jolla, the Finnish tech startup born from the ashes of Nokia. Its Sailfish OS mobile operating system has finally hit version 2.0, and the company were more than happy to share the new features on Sailfish OS 2.0 running on Jolla's latest piece of hardware: the Jolla Tablet.
Apple has announced that the Edition version of the Apple Watch will start from US$10,000 (about RM37,050) and this by far, is the most expensive smartwatch on the market. With that kind of money, there are lots of things we could buy and here at Lowyat.NET we've decided to come up with our very own list. If you recall, we made a similar list some years back with the Nokia Lumia 1020 - it's safe to say we've got a lot more financial freedom to explore with RM37,050.
Apple has refreshed its line of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and unveiled that exceptionally regular design MacBook. Of course, we couldn't help but take a look at how it stacks up against the potential MacBook killers out there; in this case, the Dell XPS 13, Microsoft's Surface Pro 3, and the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro. The new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air have also been included to provide a better idea of just how many computers Apple is putting out these days.
MWC 2015 officially closed its doors on 5 March, but coverage from the industry's largest yearly event is likely to continue into the next week. With over 93,000 attendees this year, MWC 2015 proved to be the most successful MWC yet. But for those on the other side of the world, it may be a little difficult to picture just how massive this event really is.
It is quite clear that wearables are slowly being pushed towards consumers here at MWC 2015. Smartwatches and fitness bands of all sorts were on display, from mainstream brands to some new entities in the industry. Some of the more interesting products on display here promise to fix one of the most pertinent issues with smartwatches: battery life.
Now that both HTC and Samsung have announced their brand new flagship smartphones for 2015, how do they stack up against each other – as well as other flagships released this year? Check out our specs comparison table after the break.
As Malaysians, we spend a lot of time hanging out at our favourite mamak joint, having conversations about how we should do this or make that. But what happens when one actually goes out and does it?

Sump pump question - Southern NJ
I live in Cherry Hill, NJ where we have had lots and lots of rain in June and some days in July. The last day that we had lots of rain was last Friday - July 12.
Yesterday, I noticed that the area in which my sump pump drains is absolutely soaked and muddy. It is about 10 feet away from my house. Doing some observation yesterday, I "think" the sump pumped out about 5-6 times yesterday/today.
I would have thought that since it has not rained in 5 days that there wouldn't be much water going into the sump pit anymore? Or could this continual water be because of the overall excessive rains in June and a little in July affecting groundwater?
I have my plumber coming to check it out tomorrow but I would sincerely appreciate hearing any advice/experiences. Thanks!!!

Defining a new political contract for the EU
The EU is faced with the challenges of fashioning practices and institutions that reconcile the conflicting demands on political representatives from their international partners and their domestic constituents. This has been particularly manifest in the eurozone recently, but it reflects a deeper challenge which also concerns non euro-area members such as the UK.

Ronan McCrea on secularisation in Europe
19 June 2013
Contrary to popular belief, Muslim migration is making Europe more secular, not less.
"The European relationship between religion, law and politics is a strange creature. Religious influence over political life is weaker in Europe than in almost any other part of the world. To adapt the phrase first used by Alastair Campbell when he was spokesman for the British prime minister Tony Blair, politicians in Europe generally 'don't do God'. The EU's Eurobarometer surveys of public opinion suggest that religion has a very limited impact on the political values and behaviour of European voters. Europe has no equivalent to the politically powerful religious right in America, nor to the theological debates in the political arena that one sees in many Islamic countries.
Recently, however, this long-standing distance between religion and politics has been threatened. Migration is one factor that has helped religion to return to centre stage in public life. While Muslim minorities have protested over questions of blasphemy and free speech, Catholic leaders have intervened in political debates about gay marriage and abortion, and conservatives have lamented that European societies are losing touch with their Christian past. The political scientist Eric Kaufmann has argued that religious believers have a demographic advantage in birth rates that will see Europe's secularisation reversed by the end of this century.
[However], what we see is a general process under which greater religious diversity is making it difficult for religion in Europe to retain the residual political and symbolic roles that it has had until now. These roles relied on religion being seen as a national cultural symbol, and on implicit understandings that churches would largely steer clear of politics and would not use their legally privileged status to restrict criticism or mockery of religion to too great a degree.
Such a system is proving unsustainable. There are now too many diverse cultural expectations about religion, its role in political life, and the degree to which it can be criticised or mocked. The more muscular religiosity of some migrant communities, among other factors, is provoking European governments to restrict religion firmly to the private sphere, and to render the public sphere a strictly secular one. Perhaps, as Giuseppe di Lampedusa wrote in his novel The Leopard (1958), 'everything must change so that everything can remain the same."

HAVE: Ovilla Swap April 19!
Thanks to the interest of some of our southwest Dallas County & Ellis County gardeners...
A brand-new swap has just been "born"!
& we have the gazebo at the Ovilla City Park on Saturday April 19!
It's easy to find:
From I-20 in the Duncanville area, go south on Cockrell Hill Road.
You'll pass Beltline & Bear Creek, & then you'll get into the City of Ovilla, where the road becomes Main Street & starts to wiggle.
Go past City Hall & look to your right.
The park is on the right just before the traffic light (the only traffic light in town).
too cool, I'm excited!
This is too close it pass up! I live off Shiloh Rd, so, I will be there. This is my first year in my house but I belonged to a garden club in Kingwood that was heavy on the plant exchange and I loved it! I always have a little something growing. I can bring my favorite rose cuttings Zepherine Drouhin, and some yellow cosmos seeds. Hmm, I will have to take a further look around tomorrow.
yes, there's a place that has barbeque sandwiches & plates!
I'll bring my usual stuff:
orange Kwanzo daylilies
chocolate mint
lemon mint
maybe variegated pineapple mint
mauve 4 o'clocks
green-leafed vinca
variegated vinca
coral cannas
orange Wyoming cannas
lemon yellow Conestoga cannas
Can anyone use English ivy?
Sylvia, do your orange kwanzo daylilies look like this?
If so, I would like one please.
I also remembered I have waterlilies I need to divide if anyone wants them.
Adding again, this is my newest list:
confetti lantana
varigated vinca
Spanish lavender
purple leaf oxalis
columbine, not sure what color, either yellow, red, blue or purple
rain lily
water lilies or marginals if wanted (not going to dig unless someone wants anything)
purple clematis (rooting now)
I would like purple clematis, Spanish lavender, confetti lantana.
I tried to sprout Autumn clematis & nuthin - just empty pots. LOl
Right now I know that I will have
Stella D'Orro daylillies
string of Bananas cutting
Burrows tail cutting
string of pearls cutting
Hens & Chicks
Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe tubiflora)babies
Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana)babies
MG's Grandpa Ott, Lavender
Round Lambs ear cutting (may already have roots)
Debbie, I've never tried propagating clematis either, and don't know if this will work either. I accidently broke a couple of pieces of & thought I might as well try.
I'll definitely have the Spanish lavender for you and a confetti lantana though.
I'd like to trade for Stella D'Orro daylillies and Grandpa Ott MG.
If anyone has bluebonnets, I'd like to trade for some. I'm probably the only person in Texas who can't get bluebonnets to come back the next year.
debbie, bad news on the clematis. My dog jumped on the chair & knocked it off one evening and I didn't find it until the next morning.
I can either get a cutting Saturday morning, or see if I have a different clematis coming up somewhere (I think there may be a sweet autumn).
I hope this wind lets up. My allergies are killing me today & I still have a few things to get ready.
???? how many are going to be there????? What did ya mean
If you have any of the floating water lilies I'd love to get a start from them.
Knowing that this is a new swap, I walked around & gathered up some left over plants from all the Great Gardeners at the Fort Worth plant swap. I don't know how many people will be at this swap but we will be prepared to have something for any newbies.
I know Sylvia is bringing extra stuff too. I'm her shadow this year - haha - well at least to the 3 swap meets in our area.
Sylvia is the Greatest!!!
Oh & YES, I will bring you a water lily. Do you want a particular color? I have pink, white, yellow if I still have markers in the pots so I can tell which is which.
My final list - I think
I'm just bringing one or two of each of these unless someone tells me they want something. Then I'll dig more if I have them.
wisteria (2)
varigated vinca (1)
purple leaf oxalis (2)
columbine (1)
rain lily bulbs (1)
sedum (1)
coreopsis, lance leaf (3)
bog sage (1)
fall obedient plant (3)
liatrus (1)
hyacinth bean vine (1)
blue mist (2)
Trade to:
confetti lantana to Debbie
Spanish lavender to Debbie
Water lily to Debbie
Trade from:
Stella D'Orro daylilies from Debbie
Grandpa Ott MG from Debbie
Kwanzo daylilies from Sylvia
Thank you all for the great swaps! I am excited to get them in the ground. Everyone was so generous and nice. We went to the Dallas Arboretum after and had a blast---I had no idea you could grow peonies here.
The handout I picked up from the Ovilla garden club states Garden Tour June 14, 2008, 10am to 2pm.
Thanks for the info Lisa. I enjoyed meeting you and your girls. Let me know when you want to come get some lilies.
I really enjoyed this swap even though it was small. I think that may be what made it really nice for me, I actually got to know you all better. But Donna laughed at me :( cuz I'm old and stiff. lol
I waited at the park until about 1:40 and that lady never came back. But another car came by with two ladies in it and they asked about the swap. I don't know who they were or how they knew, but I told them you all had gone on to Getzendaner and they said they would go there. If the other lady came back, she must have come while we were eating.
What was Getzendaner like?

Vikings' curious handling of Freeman leaves QB trio — and fans — in limbo

Its a good idea to amend the ordinance, but interestingly, if an ordinance were already in place, these 3 pathetics would have probably not tried to sell their stuff here and would have not been caught. Nice job MVPD.

It's great that they want to strengthen the ordinance, but what about these gun and ammo stores we have around town? It is my understanding that people can go in to load up on ammo and they don't even keep a record!!! How can police protect our community if they can't track who is buying the stuff that kills?

Hmm, please do not hijack the thread. There are plenty of places to talk about gun control/ammo control issues, plenty of other threads directly related to it all over the internet. This particular thread is not one of them though. Thanks for understanding.

Yes, we need something to curb the rash of gun-crimes in the city. Oh, wait...

this ordinance may put some out of business if they made ends meet by fencing stolen property. That's good though. We don't need or want any business like that in any form.

It is possibly related. The perps were probably trying to raise money to buy bullets from a mv gun store. The last thing we need is to reload criminals weapons!

Agree, we should expand the ordinance to require picture ID and fingerprints for selling personal items, as they do in SF. Same requirements for gun and ammo purchases. Let them go somewhere else to pawn loot, and stock up on weapons.
