Hello all, I am brand new to the art of home brewing. I recieved a True Brew beer brewing kit for my birthday, and have tried my first batch with a Brew House Stout kit.
The instructions said to mix with water and PH packet, stir vigorously, measure S.G. then add yeast (don't stir). I then put the lid and air lock in and waited. This was Wed. at noon. The next morning the air lock was bubbling maddly and there was foam coming out the top. This went on for awhile and stopped completely last night (Friday). I woke up this morning to see no action in the air lock, and decided it was time to rack to secondary.
I guess what I'm asking is if I moved too soon and ruined the batch, or if it still may turn out OK. Once I cracked the lid on the primary, there was very little foam on the surface, and after racking the sediment was not was I was expecting, looked like foamy sludge to me (I expected more of a packed nasty substance).
Hope I did ok on my first time. It's a little nerve wrecking to think that I may wait 2 weeks, bottle and wait another 2 weeks to having something undrinkable.
It was definitely too soon but you may be OK anyway. Usually you want to wait 3 weeks in the primary and a secondary fermentation isn't necessary. You can get away with 3 weeks in primary, bottling, and conditioning/carbing for 2 more weeks.
But honestly - beer is really hard to screw up. The yeast really, really want to make beer. Relax, don't worry, have a home brew.

Always rouse (swirl) yeast and bring the beer up to the high end of the recommended yeast ferm temp if you have a very slow or potentially stuck fermentation. Often, this does the trick.
If you truly have a stuck fermentation, and have to re-pitch, you must re-aerate (according to the book YEAST). This is because the yeast must have oxygen at the beginning of fermentation, and if you aerated 2+ days prior, any oxygen that was in the wort will have precipitated out. True, you will oxidize the beer, it won't taste as good, and it will have a very short shelf life, but at least you have a chance to make a drinkable beer.
If your beer is stuck (non-declining gravity significantly below desired FG), you either oxidize it + repitch it, or throw it out (unless you want to drink syrup beer).
However beers often aren't stuck, they're just ferementing very slowly due to under-aerating under-pitching, or too low a ferm temp.

TV Upfronts: The CW's Mark Pedowitz on the 'Supernatural' Spinoff, Comedy Plans
The network president on The CW's business model and his high expectations for comic book adaptation "The Flash."
This is not your little sister's CW.
The younger-skewing network has made meaningful gains in repositioning its image, and the viewership it attracts. Under the leadership of president Mark Pedowitz, The CW has successfully moved from narrower female fare (Gossip Girl, 90210) to a broader-appeal schedule lined with male-friendly genre programming (Arrow, The 100). In doing so, The CW has seen its 18-49 viewership grow 14 percent, year-over-year. (The net, which averages a 0.8 in the demo, still trails its broadcast rivals by a considerable margin.)
Pedowitz will undoubtedly highlight that shift when he meets with Madison Avenue buyers Thursday to introduce his new schedule, which includes more genre offerings such as The Flash and midseason entry iZombie. But before doing so, he talked briefly to the press about the strategy -- "We're a very different CW than we were a few years ago," he said -- and the decisions that led him to it.
Below are the highlights.
PHOTOS: Broadcast TV's New 2014-15 Shows
About That Pickup
Reporters couldn't help but wonder how low-rated Beauty and the Beast garnered another pickup, while other shows including The Tomorrow People, from CW heavyweights Julie Plec and Greg Berlanti, got the ax. Pedowitz was ready with an explanation, noting that Beauty does well for The CW's co-parent, CBS, both in terms of international sales and social media engagement. "We've always said we're a very different type of broadcast network across the board. We have situations where shows such as Beauty and the Beast have great upside potential for our owners, so we look at these things as a way to get them out there," he said, adding that Tomorrow People "just didn't have the same level of social engagement nor digital side that Beauty and the Beast does get."
Supernatural Spinoff's False Start
Good news and bad news for fans of Supernatural. Pedowitz acknowledged that the planned Bloodlines spinoff, which aired as a backdoor pilot in late April, "just didn't quite get there" creatively. (Had The CW picked it up, the network would have had spinoffs of three of their biggest shows.) That said, he believes there's still potential in the brand, and plans to give the spinoff another try next year. Conversations as to, as Pedowitz put it, "what it is and what it isn't" will not begin until the summer.
STORY: CW to Develop New 'Supernatural' Spinoff
The Scheduling Moves
Pedowitz wouldn't come out and say he chose to put DC Comics adaptation Flash at 8 p.m. on Tuesday after ABC moved Agents of SHIELD to 9 p.m., but he did offer this: "Sometimes it's good to be opportunistic." He boldly predicted that Flash "will do very well" in the slot, and added that he didn't have strong concerns about sturdy player Supernatural, which will compete against SHIELD an hour later. As for The Originals' move to Monday at 8 p.m., a challenging time period for the network, he noted that the Vampire Diaries spinoff was a "proven self-starter" and, given its female-skew, made a logical lead-in for femme-friendly newcomer Jane the Virgin.
No Laughing Matter
The CW is not yet ready for a comedy block on its fall schedule. Pedowitz will be trying Backpackers, which was developed originally as an online series for CW digital studio Seed, in the summer, and if he can find another entry there, he'd consider an in-season move. Having Whose Line Is it Anyway? on his otherwise drama-heavy schedule, he said, gives him "the opportunity to try things" in the sitcom space.

Those of us familiar with the do's and don'ts of accepted practice in the mental health profession saw similar blaring warning lights in our minds, as should have occurred when the facts were made public regarding the accusations against Nehemia Weberman. This case may very well be our community's most important abuse trial during our lifetimes. It is imperative that we have a huge turnout in support of the victim, a courageous young lady who, may she be gezunt andge'bentched, is determined to see this through to the end so others won't suffer like she did.
In part the altered lives victims of abuse and molestation live are a result of the abuse itself. But it is in part also because of the unfortunate negative reaction to the victims by their own community.
These lines are written in loving memory of our dear father, Reb Shlomo Zev ben Reb Baruch Yehudah Nutovic, a"h, whose first yahrzeit is 7 Menachem Av. May the positive lessons learned from this essay be a zechus for his neshamah.

One week ago on my website I announced my intention to attend the next court appearance of a man who was arrested last year and is now standing trial on 10 felony charges of child abuse.
Dear Rabbi Horowitz:
We were taken aback when our 18-year-old son just called us from Eretz Yisrael (we live in Europe) and told us that he was coming home and wants to immediately go to work. He said that he is wasting his time in yeshiva, and just can't take it anymore. He said that he will "run away from home" if we don't allow him to go to work.
Digital images of the profoundly disturbing computer-smashing ceremony conducted by Rabbi Aaron Feinhandler have been viewed by countless thousands of Jews worldwide over the past few weeks.

The Saints Row series started off as a Grand Theft Auto clone in its first two installments. But it's since carved out its own unique niche by embracing the crazy.
Indeed, Saints Row IV went completely over the top in this regard, making references to everything from The Matrix and They Live to Streets of Rage and Metal Gear Solid. If you came for a serious storyline or gameplay that was a Mt. Everest of difficulty, you're in the wrong spot. If anything, the Gat Out of Hell downloadable content (DLC) campaign takes the nuttiness of the main game to its logical conclusion.
The story is its usual state of thin: because the President of the United States (the main player character in Saints Row IV) has caused more death and destruction than any other human in history, the devil has decided to marry him to his daughter, Jezebel. After the devil snatches the President via a Ouija board at a birthday party for Kinzie Kensington (don't ask), longtime right-hand man/hardcore thug Johnny Gat "persuades" the Ouija board to send him after his boss. The birthday girl herself, an ex-FBI agent, plays the birthday card to come along for the ride.
So what does this version of Hell look like? Well, it looks remarkably like a small portion of Steelport from the two previous main games, albeit with infernal trimmings. Husks of the damned wander the streets, demons patrol in monster trucks with police lights, and Shakespeare (yes, that Shakespeare) DJs a nightclub called the Tempest. There's also a few old friends from previous games that you'll run into…I'll let you discover those on your own.
Like Saints Row IV, you do have your own set of powers, which in this case are powered by Lucifer's cracked halo. A word of caution: while there is a resemblance to the powers of the main game, they operate in a completely different fashion here. This is especially true for the flying, where you have to learn how to soar on singed angel wings to get around.
There are plenty of infernal twists on the weaponry but the best has to be the Seven Deadly Weapons. Modeled on the Seven Deadly Sins, each of these are true to their vice, be it the armed recliner that is Armchair-Mageddon or the hideously expensive submachine gun called the Diamond Sting. Each of these Easter egg weapons can be found in an appropriate venue if you look for them.
To be fair, the main story is way too brief, even with the game's leveling up mechanic of Satan's Wrath. If a player just follows the main story path, they'll be done within two hours easy. Still, there are 3 things to keep in mind with that caveat. First, it's a freaking DLC, people! You want the next full game, wait with the rest of us. Second, the story cutscenes themselves are outrageously funny. Some details are glossed over courtesy of storybook narration provided by Jane Austen (again, don't ask) but there is a musical sequence worthy of Mel Brooks or Matt Groening that could literally be called the Little Mermaid from Hell. It's hard to get angry at a game that cracks those kinds of jokes.
Finally, there is just so much to do above and beyond the main story, be it the flying races that are Hellblazing, shaving off a few thousand years of damnation for husks with Torment Fraud, taking over teleportation spots at the Marshaling Grounds or knocking Tri-Omega frat boys into portals with Pledge Rush. The main story doesn't even cover a tenth of these activities, so there's plenty to explore.
All in all, if you're looking for a twist on what you loved in Saints Row IV, this is the game for you…at least until we see Saints Row V!

Do you love snow-covered mountains and icy lakes? Spring will be here before we know it, and, for those of you in colder climates, there may only be a few weeks left to capture this breathtaking winter beauty.
Winter landscape photography can be fun and rewarding, but can also bring a unique set of challenges. These challenges include the need to find contrast and patterns in a snow-covered setting, to use appropriate exposure levels, and to protect yourself and your equipment from cold, snow, and dampness.
Snowy landscapes are difficult to photograph well. In an attempt to avoid overexposure, camera settings often reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor, resulting in snow that looks drab and gray. Adding +1/3 or +2/3 exposure compensation forces the camera to let in more light, bringing the snow back to pure white, which can be very effective in high-contrast winter scenes.
Photos of winter landscapes need more than snow to make them interesting. Look for dark elements that contrast with the whiteness of the snow, such as evening shadows or the bare skeletons of trees, and include them in your composition. Also, keep an eye out for interesting patterns, such as criss-crossing branches, rocky features, rough tree bark, and long shadows, which can add texture to your photos. Landscape photography classes can teach you how to compose images to highlight the most interesting elements of a scene.
You're unlikely to take your best photographs if you are shivering and your fingers are numb with cold. Wrapping yourself up in gloves, a hat, and sturdy boots before heading out reduces the risk that you will have to cut your photography session short due to extreme cold. If you're driving in snowy conditions to reach the perfect shooting location, bring a charged mobile phone, blankets, water, and snacks in case you break down and need to call for help.
Rapid transitions between very cold and warm environments can cause condensation to build up in your photography equipment. When you come in from a winter shoot, wrap your gear in a towel so that condensation can be absorbed as the equipment gradually warms to room temperature. This simple step protects your camera equipment from the harmful effects of moisture so that it will stay in good working condition for many seasons to come.

Searching for the perfect gift is always challenging, but adding a little creativity into the overall process makes it much more enjoyable. From modern online tools to tried-and-true investigative techniques, it's easy to select a meaningful present for the artist in your life.
Plenty of methods allow you to brainstorm gift ideas, and many apps make it easy to narrow down gifts by interest and even personality type. The days of wandering throughout the mall helplessly are over thanks to the following strategies.
• Peruse Blogs: Blogs are the magazines of the internet, and they can provide major insight into your recipient's wish list. Check out the ones he or she frequents for product listings or insightful reviews.
• Shop Small: Some of the best customized gifts are found at local boutiques and gift shops, and they're worth visiting to get an idea of possibilities. Shopping small is an excellent way to support your community and local business owners as well (many of whom are artists themselves).
• Get Personal: Gifts.com allows you to narrow products by gender, age and interests. Simply choose the most applicable trait that relates to your intended recipient, and let the site show you page after page of options. In addition, stores like Uncommon Goods provide filtering tools that let you narrow gifts based on hobbies and pursuits.
• Employ a Decoy: If all else fails, lovingly trick your gift recipient into helping you "shop" for someone else -- say, someone who has a lot of the same interests as he or she. You can always get some useful information through this technique, and it's a great way to avoid a gifting disappointment in the making.
Leave those boring gift cards to the amateurs, and score bonus points by thinking outside the traditional gift box.
• DIY: What's more meaningful between two artsy types than a do-it-yourself gift? Whether it's a classic painting or handmade jewelry for Valentine's Day, that personalized touch makes any gift more memorable and cherished. A handwritten card is a sweet accompaniment.
• Inspirational: Artists need their muses, which is why an encouraging present is a wonderful idea to brighten up a home office. Consider quote displays or a cleverly designed teapot to help fuel productivity. Design magazine subscriptions or books, cameras, and record players are excellent choices to inspire, as well.
• Decorative: Many great gift ideas center around the home, and these are easily tailored to the recipient based on aesthetic preferences. A wall tapestry, colorful knitted throw or framed art can help spruce up a living space, while scented candles add to a creative atmosphere.
• Practical: Creative types have a reputation for keeping things a little messy, so why not help organize a work space with some stylish accessories? Whimsical bookends, unique storage supplies, or a versatile wall organizer can help reduce clutter while adding some visual appeal.
• Memorable: Surprise your loved one with an unexpected day of fun. From stargazing with your sweetheart to taking your bestie on a road trip to see his or her favorite band, the experience is something you can share together.
Gift-giving is meant to be enjoyable for both the giver and recipient, and with the help of some planning and personalization, shopping for that artistically-inclined loved one has never been simpler.

John Gale, Research Associate at the Maine Rural Health Research Center, USM Muskie School, discusses the potential for rural safety net providers to become a patient-centered medical home (PCMH). In the August 20th edition of the Rural Monitor, Gale provides information on the challenges and opportunities rural health clinics face in meeting standards for PCMH recognition. According to Gale's research, rural safety net providers face greater challenges than urban counterparts, including staffing shortages and limited resources, and patient populations that are low-income, often uninsured and less likely to become engaged in their personal care. Findings from his research will be published in a forthcoming report from the Maine Rural Health Research Center.

The best of two worldsHenning Elvennes · Nov 13, 2013
It is very impressive how it accelerates or optimizes some of our daily tasks. This is what we reflected in DentLab Manager.

The Los Angeles Lakers fell to to the Miami Heat on Sunday in South Beach by a score of 107-97. The Lakers hung tough for the majority of the game, but were simply out-classed by the defending NBA champions down the stretch. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 38 points (20 for LeBron and 18 for Wade) in the second half. Dwyane Wade took advantage of poor transition defense by the Lakers, and namely Dwight Howard, in the 3rd quarter and finished off with a powerful, one-handed, reverse slam that go the crowd on their feet and pushed the Heat lead to 67-64 over the visiting opponents. Those were just two of Wade's 30 points, as he went an efficient 12 of 18 from the field (55%). The Heat asserted their dominance by getting out and running against the older, slower Lakers, notching 19 fast break points, compared to just 4 from Los Angeles. Miami also made the most of their free throw attempts, cashing in for 13-14 from the line for 92%, and the Miami Heat just keep on being one of the moist efficient teams on the planet, behind LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Kobe Bryant led the way for the Lakers with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and much the the shock of LeBron James, 9 assists.

Hitman: Contracts is a stealth video game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive. It is the third installment in the Hitman game series. The game features recreations of four levels from Hitman: Codename 47. The storyline intertwines between two missions in its sequel, Hitman: Blood Money. As of April 2009, the game has sold around 2 million copies.[1] The game was released on April 20, 2004 in North America, April 30, 2004 in Europe, and on October 14, 2004 in Japan for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The Hitman HD Trilogy was released on January 29, 2013 in North America, January 31, 2013 in Australia, and February 1, 2013 in Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The game has been bundled with a compilation of other Hitman titles in releases such as the Hitman Trilogy (for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2), Hitman: Ultimate Contract (Microsoft Windows), and Hitman HD Trilogy for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Due to licensing issues with a song featured in the game ("Immortal" by Clutch), Hitman: Contracts did not get a release on the online distribution service, Steam, until 2014, despite all other Hitman games being released on the platform. For the 2013 release of Hitman HD Trilogy, the copyrighted song was replaced with another.[2]
In Hitman: Contracts, gameplay centers around the exploits of a hitman, Agent 47, as he is sent to various locations to assassinate targets. An array of weapons can be used, from kitchen knives to belt-fed machine guns. While stealth and subterfuge is encouraged, the game allows the player to take a more violent approach and gunfight their way to their mission goals. As players progress through the game, they can collect the various armaments found in the levels, allowing them to be used in future missions. Aside from the more straightforward ways of killing targets such as gunplay and strangulation, several missions allow the player more subtle ways to eliminate hits, such as judicious use of poison, or arranging "accidents" like a heat-induced heart attack inside a sauna.
Players are rated on their performance based on several factors; key among which are the number of shots fired, NPCs killed (and whether they were armed adversaries or innocents), and the number of times the guards are alerted. The lowest rank is "Mass Murderer", which is awarded to players who kill large numbers of NPCs in the pursuit of their target and do not use stealth. The highest rank is "Silent Assassin", which is earned when the player accomplishes their mission without being detected, and generally without killing anyone other than the intended target(s).
Contracts continues the trend of context sensitive actions, which means that one button is used in multiple situations for multiple uses. For example, when the player is near a door, the context sensitive button will allow the player to perform door-relevant actions such as keyhole-peeking, lock picking, or if allowed, simply opening it. When the player is near an unconscious or dead NPC, the same button will allow the ability to either acquire the person's outfit, or drag the body to an area where it will not be found by guards.
Along with the context sensitive button, the "Suspicion Meter" returns as well; this meter informs players of how close they are to blowing their respective cover. Actions like excess running indoors, brandishing weapons openly, residing in restricted areas, or sneaking can raise suspicion. Proximity will also usually raise the meter. As previously stated, if the "Suspicion Meter" fills, guards will open fire on sight of the player and the current cover becomes useless. If the guards discover a fallen body, or if an unconscious person awakes and alerts them, the Suspicion Meter will raise much faster than it would otherwise.
Disguises can be either found in the environment or taken from the bodies of male NPCs. Depending on the disguise, the player can then access areas restricted to most individuals in a level. These disguises can be seen through by guards, as stated above; e.g. if guards in a level are all wielding shotguns, a player dressed as a guard but not similarly equipped will draw more suspicion. Also, certain behaviors (like picking locks) will cause guards to see through a disguise as well.
The game begins with a cutscene showing a wounded Agent 47 wandering through a dark hotel corridor and entering his room. He collapses and begins to have flashbacks regarding previous assassinations he committed, beginning with the aftermath of killing Dr. Ort-Meyer at the end of the first Hitman game. The missions are primarily focused on replays of previous missions in the original game, except played in reverse. The graphics, maps and artificial intelligence have been customized and improved. In the game, 47 visits several locations, including Romania, Kamchatka, the United Kingdom, Rotterdam, Budapest, Hong Kong, and finally Paris.
An Agency doctor visits unexpectedly and treats 47. Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN) officers surround the hotel but the doctor escapes; 47 continues his memories. At the end of the game, 47 regains consciousness in the hotel room with an expired mission briefing. It is revealed that 47 was hired to kill a U.S. ambassador, Richard Delahunt, and a famous tenor at an opera house in Paris (an event later seen in Hitman: Blood Money); both men were involved in a child slavery ring. 47 was also tasked to kill their mutual friend, Inspector Albert Fournier. That police officer has sent a team of police to capture 47 after discovering his hideout.
47 manages to kill the inspector and escape the area. He then makes his way to the airport, where he boards a plane and escapes the country. His contact, Diana, previously a presence on the other side of a communications system, is actually sitting behind him. The player does not see her face. She suggests to 47 that his target may have been tipped off, and that an unknown group is targeting him.

Hitman: Contracts Original Soundtrack was composed by Jesper Kyd and released in 2004. The score features the same Latin choral arrangements as in all the other scores; however, they are heavily sampled and mixed into the dark electronic soundscape. As summed up by Kyd, "First of all it is a much darker score. Hitman 2 was an epic story that kind of spanned all over the world. This one, although there are different locations, it's not one big epic story. It's a lot of darker, psychological small stories mixed together, so the score follows the darker aspect of Hitman and his career."[4] The score was awarded the title of "Best Original Music" at the 2005 BAFTA Games Awards.[5]

Besides the original Jesper Kyd score, the game features the following songs:
- "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka in Level 2 "The Meat King's Party". 2:37
- "Brand New Image" by Cecilia Cheung in level 4 "Beldingford Manor" 5:18
- "Immortal" by Clutch in Level 5 "Rendezvous in Rotterdam".
- "Walking Dead" by Puressence in Level 6 "Deadly Cargo".
- "Le Souteneur (Monsieur Claude)" by Faf Larage in Level 12 "Hunter and Hunted".
Hitman: Contracts received generally mixed to positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation 2 version 79.92% and 80/100,[6][9] the Xbox version 77.57% and 78/100[7][10] and the PC version 75.14% and 74/100.[8][11]

Answer #1overbys from Overbys Inc, February 23, 2011, 12:10Master
you probably loosened the wrong bolts when you replaced the pads or you damaged something when you forced the pistons into the calipers. the car is unsafe to drive with brake fluid leak. if brake fluid has gotten in the
friction surface of the pads, they must be replaced also.

pitcher plant
i baught a nepenthes coccinea(pitcher plant) but when it was packed away in the shop some of the pitchers cracked and the liquid poured out now nearly all the pitchers are dead. will these grow back on if yes how long will it take
nepenthes can take a while to develope new pitchers. humidity, lighting, & watering , also, time is required upon size & age of the plant.
some growers tend to foliar feed their Neps, i honestly never used any foliar fertilizers on my neps. i grow my two nepenthes in a bright window. i water them by pouring water onto their containers and allow it to drain. i only water my neps 3 times a day. after watering them, their leaves are misted with a water sprayer(purified water)
twice a day. this will maintain fair humidity around the plant. also, this will help it perk up, and help it grow new pitchers.
nepenthes can be growned in sunny windowsills. or in a bright indirect area.
In general. CP's will often lose their dew or stop pitchering or stop spreading when in shock from shipping or a significant change in environment. As said above, they can take awhile to recover, like a few weeks. Usually, existing pitchers that are shocked are pretty much "toast". Don't worry about them. Be patient for new growth. I do just as Xymox with light and water, minus the spraying. Mine are in a bathroom window sill and get plenty of humidity from the showers!
Something else to note, unless I'm mistaken, each leaf only produces one pitcher. So, it will be other leaves which bring in new ones.

text: "I've been sober about six years now and my life's just changing. I'm getting married, getting a little older, and I just started feeling different - not being so self-absorbed in the rock 'n' roll world. I changed quite a bit, for the better, I think." Former Guns N' Roses star Matt Sorum likes the way he's maturing.

I have 2 javascript functions, the first being a function which loads ajax content (via another function), and a second which is a callback function. They look like:
function createReply(callBack){
ajaxPage('test.html', 'next-reply');
function updateNext(){
document.getElementById('next-reply').id = "reply-item";
As you can see, I am calling the
createReply() function and passing it the name of the callback function, in this case
In the
createReply() function, I am calling another function which loads content via ajax. When this function is complete, the callback is supposed to be executed. The callback changes the id of the div in which the ajax content is being loaded. This is where the problem is occuring
I am getting the error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null
Which is saying that it cannot change the content of the element with the id "next-reply" because it doesn't exist, and the reason it doesn't exist is because the callback function changes the id if that element. The intention is to have the callback fire after the ajax content has been loaded (ie; after the
ajaxPage() function has been executed)
Can anyone see what the problem is? Is there a better way of implementing a callback function in plain javascript?
PS: no jQuery

Dying In The Digital Age: When Should The Conversation End?
Originally published on Tue January 14, 2014 6:33 pm
An active conversation — and a hefty dose of outrage — is swirling on social media about the proper boundaries between public and private when it comes to illness and death. Lisa Adams, a stage 4 cancer patient, has been tweeting her experiences with the disease. Writers Bill and Emma Keller have derided her tweets as akin to "deathbed selfies." Melissa Block talks with Meaghan O'Rourke about how we treat dying in the digital age.

Devil's Postpile National Monument
There is no greater artist than the nature, a look at this monument will tell you why. A geological formation produced due to cooling down of hot lava that erupted centuries ago, Devils Postpile is, along with the nearby Rainbow Falls, a part of the Devils Postpile National Monument. It is a large structure of extremely symmetrical basalt columns that tower as high as 400 feet (102m) that formed some 100,000 years ago. The site is now a popular tourist attraction owing to the beauty of the rock formation, the rainbow falls and the serene wooded area that surrounds them.

Dyson 50
By CleanHappy
from Undisclosed
Comments about Dyson DC50 Animal Lightweight Upright Vacuum - CLOSE OUT:
I read many reviews on line before I purchased my Dyson 50. The reviews were over whelming positive scattered with a few negatives. I have used my Dyson four times now. I used it on both tile and carpet. I love how it transitions automatically from carpet to tile. I find it extremely maneuverable and comfortable to use. I used the attachments to clean my sofa and love seat. It did a great job. As other reviewers reported, the powerful suction pulls a large volume of dirt from both the floors and the carpets. The carpets are gradually getting cleaner with each use. I found most of the negatives from reviewers to be insignificant. I am completely satisfied with my Dyson and feel confident that my house is cleaner than ever. It is a very well designed and engineered product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I Love My Dyson Animal
By Karuna62
This is my first Dyson and I am very impressed with it performance. If I ever need another, I will always buy a Dyson. This DC50 Animal is so light weight, but so powerful, which is why I brought it. Great job Mr. Dyson.
By Anonymous
I live in an apartment with a lab, who seems to shed off her entire coat at least once a day. This vacuum works perfectly to get the fur and dirt out of carpet, rugs, furniture, and even works great on hardwood floor.
By PAN96
The DC50 is an excellent vacuum. Lightweight and powerful. Works on all my floor surfaces. I definitely highly recommend the DC50.
Great vacuum!
By My3girls
I love how this vacuum moves and the suction is great! The only downfall is the length of the cord. I like the cord to be long enough so I don't have to continuously move the plug.
DC50 works well to remove dust from floor
This vacuum cleaner is best one I used so far. It removes dust and anything from the floor. works great on carpet.
Almost perfect
By LuzR
The only thing that this AWESOME, EASY TO MANEUVER, POWER SUCTION, EASY TO CLEAN device needs is a little light to lead the way.
By Phlooper
We have never had a Dyson but had heard how great they are. Reluctant to replace our vacuum we thought we would try a Dyson. WOW does it pick up, it is easy to maneuver, and transitions from carpet to tile to hardwood without missing a thing. We are very impressed with how well it picks up and how easy it is to dump out with the push of a finger. Love it!!
This thing is great!!!
By MRSZ
I put the DC50 to work and my house is sparkling now! My floors gleam and the sofa looks new! The features are easy to use and the attachments work like a charm. have you been waiting to find a vac. that is better than any other? This is it! Get to work! Then relax put your feet up and enjoy a clean house.
By MCPing
My dyson quit sucking up any dirt after only 2 months of use. Had to drive 55 miles to a UPS store to ship it to a repair shop on 3-2-15. Have not heard what the trouble is but the ups clerk said she had been shipping quite a few dyson off for repair. My grandchildren bought it for me Christmas. They aren't to happy about it either. Marie(MCP)
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Improving Iran-US relations
Abbas Maleki "Audit's the Conventional Wisdom" of Iran-US relations. The video was taped on 2/14/12.
Maleki is the 2011-2012 Robert E Wilhelm Fellow at CIS. He is associate professor of political science at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, director of the International Institute for Caspian Studies, and a senior associate of the Belfer Center's International Security Program at Harvard University. He was Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister from 1988-1997.
About the Audits: In this series of videos, MIT's Center for International Studies tours the horizon of the conventional wisdoms that animate U.S. foreign policy, and puts them to the test of data and history. By subjecting particularly well-accepted ideas to close scrutiny, we hope to spark discussion and debate, with a result we can all agree on: better foreign policies that lead to a more peaceful and prosperous world.
