On July 6, I purchased a small carton of 2 percent milk at Hardee's in O'Fallon. It was Crowley brand milk, and the carton was stamped "Sell Before Aug. 4, 2014." That's 28 days. Later I went shopping at Schnucks in Fairview and the latest date on any of the Prairie Farms containers was July 19, just 13 days. Why 28 days on the small carton but 13 days on the larger ones?
-- D.E., of Fairview Heights
What you encountered was a continuing hot debate among dairy lovers: Would you want your milk pasteurized at higher temperatures to improve shelf life?
Federal law requires milk to be pasteurized if it is shipped across state lines for sale. Almost all states, including Illinois, also require all intrastate-produced milk sold in stores to be pasteurized as well.
Traditionally, the process used has been High Temperature Short Time pasteurization -- or HTST for short. The goal is to kill most bacteria in milk by raising its temperature to a minimum of 161 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds. The result is a product with a shelf life of 16 to 21 days from the day it was packaged, according to Organic Valley in La Farge, Wis. This is the type of milk you found in Schnucks.
But in the early 1960s, Parmalat Finanziaria, a Milan, Italy, food company, noticed what poor-quality refrigerators many Europeans struggled with. So to help them reduce food spoilage, the company developed Ultra High Temperature pasteurization -- or ultra pasteurization, as some call it. By heating milk to 280 degrees for just a few seconds, it found it could kill even more nasty stuff and allow the milk to be stored unopened at room temperature for six months or more.
Now, UHT milk is consumed by an estimated 70 percent of Europeans, including 97 percent of Belgians and 96 percent of the French and Spanish. And, sure enough, when I called Crowley Foods in Binghamton, N.Y., they immediately told me that the milk in those small, individualized cartons sold in fast-food chains go through UHT pasteurization to extend its life. Hence, the big difference in expiration dates you saw.
But Parmalat did not introduce UHT in the United States until 1993, and the process has not seen the popularity it enjoys in Europe. So why wouldn't consumers hop on a bandwagon that promises longer product life and more convenience? Many say it changes the milk's nutritional value, taste and texture.
As mentioned before, the goal of traditional pasteurization is to kill an estimated 99.9 percent of germs in fresh milk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, raw milk consumption is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease. Pasteurization can kill a long list of nasty bugs, including salmonella, listeria and E. coli, leading to illnesses ranging from diphtheria to Q-fever.
"While the milk inside the cow's udder is sterile, it may become immediately contaminated as it exits the udder by microorganisms residing in the teat canal, on the surface of the udder or on the milking equipment," according to Organic Valley.
UHT kills even more bacteria and spores, but it makes the final product less healthy, some contend. As you may know, many bacteria that live in our gut are beneficial. That's why, for example, many people eat yogurt for an extra helping of those good bugs. It's also why some people still swear by raw milk.
"There are all kinds of bacteria living in milk, and, depending on the farmer, most of the bacteria (in milk) is good," argue the folks at Shelter Family Dairy in Kalkaska, Mich., which offers only HTST pasteurization. "When the milk is pasteurized, it kills the bacteria off . By only heating to the minimum required temperature, we are preserving as much of the good bacteria as possible."
Others say the UHT process destroys some folate and other nutrients and may cause the milk to taste bland or even burned from the high temperature. In addition, some contend the extra high heat may change the texture to where additives such as guar gum and carrageenan are needed to restore thickening.
So while UHT is now favored in places like Puerto Rico and Brazil, where refrigeration sometimes is at a premium, HTST remains the most popular process in the U.S.

How did the "hair of the dog" hangover cure originate?
Answer to Sunday's trivia: Ralph Dibny turned into DC Comic's Elongated Man by developing gingold from the rare gingo fruit of the Yucatan to give him his stretching ability. He debuted in The Flash No. 112 (May 1960), but quickly became a popular detective who solved odd mysteries.

We Need to Talk about Kevin (P.S.)by Lionel Shriver
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family, for readers of Rosellen Brown's Before and After and Jane Hamilton's A Map of the World.
That neither nature nor nurture bears exclusive responsibility for a child's character is self-evident. But such generalizations provide cold comfort when it's your own son who's just opened fire on his fellow students and whose class photograph — with its unseemly grin — is blown up on the national news.
The question of who's to blame for teenage atrocity tortures our narrator, Eva Khatchadourian. Two years ago, her son, Kevin, murdered seven of his fellow high-school students, a cafeteria worker, and a popular algebra teacher. Because he was only fifteen at the time of the killings, he received a lenient sentence and is now in a prison for young offenders in upstate New York.
Telling the story of Kevin's upbringing, Eva addresses herself to her estranged husband through a series of letters. Fearing that her own shortcomings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about both motherhood in general and Kevin in particular. How much is her fault?
We Need to Talk About Kevin offers no pat explanations for why so many white, well-to-do adolescents — whether in Pearl, Paducah, Springfield, or Littleton — have gone nihilistically off the rails while growing up in suburban comfort. Instead, Lionel Shriver tells a compelling, absorbing, and resonant story while framing these horrifying tableaux of teenage carnage as metaphors for the larger tragedy — the tragedy of a country where everything works, nobody starves, and anything can be bought but a sense of purpose.
"A number of fictional attempts have been made to portray what might lead a teenager to kill a number of schoolmates or teachers, Columbine style, but Shriver's is the most triumphantly accomplished by far....It's a harrowing, psychologically astute, sometimes even darkly humorous novel." Publishers Weekly
"[W]hile Shriver attacks the phenomenon [of teenaged killers] with unflagging gusto (she heavily researched the real-life school murders of the late 1990s), she isn't preoccupied with figuring out what motivates these young men, nor does she ruminate on how a vapid American society creates adolescent monsters. Thank God for that — what we get instead is a much more interesting, thoughtful, and surprisingly credible, thriller....While the plot — that a woman's uneasy confusion about motherhood could create a killer — is over-the-top...the grandiosity of it allows Shriver ample room to explore Eva's deepest, darkest feelings about her son. It's only when Eva has lost everything that she can admit her ugliest thoughts." Suzy Hansen, Salon.com
"In crisply crafted sentences that cut to the bone of her feelings about motherhood, career, family, and what it is about American culture that produces child killers, Shriver yanks the reader back and forth between blame and empathy, retribution and forgiveness." Deborah Donovan, Booklist (Starred Review)
"[A] slow, magnetic descent into hell that is as fascinating as it is disturbing....And despite an unsympathetic portrait of Kevin, when at the novel's end Eva declares she loves her son, you not only believe her but you understand why." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The timely topic...is sure to guarantee lots of attention, but the compelling writing is what will keep readers engaged....Through Eva's voice, Shriver offers a complex look at the factors that go into a parent-child relationship and at what point, if any, a parent can decide if a child is a hopeless case." Library Journal
"Powerful [and] harrowing." Entertainment Weekly
"Ms. Shriver takes a calculated risk...but the gamble pays off as she strikes a tone of compelling intimacy." Wall Street Journal
"Furiously imagined." Seattle Times
"Impossible to put down." Boston Globe
"An underground feminist hit." New York Observer
The gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry
Eva never really wanted to be a mother — and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.
Alyss whole world was comprised of the history project that was due, her upcoming violin audition, being held tightly in the arms of her boyfriend, Ben, and laughing with her best friend, Delilah. At least it was—until she found herself on the wrong end of a shotgun in the school library. Her suburban high school had become one of those places you hear about on the news—a place where some disaffected youth decided to end it all and take as many of his teachers and classmates with him as he could. Except, in this story, that youth was Alyss own brother, Luke. He killed fifteen others and himself, but spared her—though shell never know why.
Alyss downward spiral begins instantly, and there seems to be no bottom. A heartbreaking and beautifully told story.
Now a major motion picture by Lynne Ramsay, starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly,Lionel Shrivers resonant story of a mothers unsettling quest to understandher teenage sons deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, andthe explosive link between them reverberates with the haunting power of highhopes shattered by dark realities. Like Shrivers charged and incisive laternovels, including So Much for That and The Post-Birthday World, We Need to Talk About Kevin isa piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence, familyties, and responsibility, a book that the Boston Globe describes as"sometimes searing . . . [and] impossible to put down."

Publisher's Description
In the ongoing debate over the when and how our universe began, Genesis chooses to answer the theological question, Who set in motion the beginning of the heavens and the earth?" Once that question is answered by vivid and memorable stories, the focus moves to ancestral stories that identify the roots and early branches of the Jewish family tree. This same tree grows in Christian settings as the matriarchs and patriarchs of Genesis appear over and again in New Testament writings.
Given the growing interest in family genealogies, in this commentary Joan Cook leads us to appreciate and delight in our ancient and awesome spiritual heritage as well. We should not be surprised, however, to discover that our earliest spiritual kith and kin were guilty of deceit, marital infidelity, jealousy, and murder. But readers will learn that the God who created the heavens and the earth is also a forgiving and protective God-the God of ancient time, of our time, of all time.
Joan E. Cook, SC, teaches Scripture at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. She is author of Hannah's Desire, God's Design (Sheffield Academic Press, 1999) and Hear, O Heavens and Listen, O Earth: An Introduction to the Prophets (Liturgical Press, 2006), which won a first-place Catholic Press Association award in 2007. Cook has also written numerous articles on biblical women and biblical prayer.

so it happened this week, and it is permanent. apparently there was some press release.. but I cant find it. They are going to send it to me.
I also complained that the local listings are not properly updated, and that DirecTV did a poor job of announcing it.. if they did at all..
Posted 22 June 2010 - 10:03 AM
Dear Mr. xxx:
Thanks for your message to UNC-TV. In response to your inquiry,effective at midnight, June 15, 2010, all DIRECTV customers in North Carolina will begin receiving UNC-EX instead of UNC-KD. These customers will continue receiving UNC-TV, as well. UNC-EX will be shown on the same channel formerly occupied by UNC-KD.
Why the change? UNC-TV initiated this change as a service to public television viewers who wished to have an alternative to children's programs during the day. Children's programs are also available on UNC-TV during the daytime, meaning that there was often duplication of the content on UNC-KD and UNC-TV.
DIRECTV customers who wish to continue viewing PBS children's programs are encouraged to find them on UNC-TV, which will continue providing the same excellent children's programming during the day. DIRECT customers who have wished they could watch public television programming for adults during the day will now also have a choice – UNC-EX, The Explorer Channel. UNC-TV is confident that this new lineup will accommodate the needs of more viewers without compromising its ability to provide excellent children's programming services.
If you should have further questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to call member supported UNC-TV's Customer Care Department at 1-888-292-7070.
Thank you for watching member-supported UNC-TV's North Carolina's statewide public television network. UNC-TV's unique programs and services provide people of all ages with enriching, life-changing television.

Not DirecTV's job to announce a change that a local station is making. They only carry the signal and send it to you. Take all complaints up with your local station that does not seem to be able to announce a change effectively.

You may want to get some rabbit ears so you can pull in all the UNC sub channels. They should come in fine in Raleigh and will integrate seamlessly on your HR2x or H2x. If you have anything other than an HR20 or H20, you'll need to ask DirecTV to send you an AM21. I'd use this change as an opportunity to try to get one for free if I were you.
Posted 22 June 2010 - 11:53 AM
Is UNC still providing UNC-KD to TWC?
Yes, Digital Box channel 171, QAM 4-3.
How I wish someone would make an AM21-like box with a QAM tuner.

Well, D* could carry more than one subchannel. But the change was clearly WUNC's decision.

Blue-Ribbon Butter Cake Recipe
5 27
I found this recipe in an old cookbook I bought at a garage sale and couldn't wait to try it. I knew it had been someone's favorite because of the well-worn page. —Joan F. Gertz, Palmetto, Florida
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
- Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges and center tube of pan. Invert cake onto a wire rack over waxed paper.
- For sauce, combine the sugar, butter and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat just until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in extracts.
- Poke holes in the top of the warm cake; spoon 1/4 cup sauce over cake. Let stand until sauce is absorbed. Repeat twice. Poke holes into sides of cake; brush remaining sauce over sides. Cool completely. Yield: 12-16 servings.

Vijay Singh has no one to blame but himself. Apparently he agrees. Ostensibly that is why he said Wednesday that he is "angry" for unwittingly having taken a banned substance. In turn, he left himself open to a possible PGA Tour suspension. Singh not only violated the tour's anti-doping policy, he violated one of the tour's most important unwritten tenets: When there might be an inkling of doubt, don't be in doubt. That applies to the Rules of Golf or the drug policy. Call an official. Ask for clarification. Get a ruling. Trying a new cough drop? Check it out. In Singh's case, he admitted to using deer-antler spray, which contains a banned substance called insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-1, which is said to contain an anabolic hormone that stimulates muscle growth. Singh violated another simple principle: Read.

Guilty verdict in California city corruption trial
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former official in the Los Angeles suburb of Bell was convicted of corruption Monday in a case that drove the city to the brink of bankruptcy.
Jurors found former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia guilty of 11 charges, including conspiracy, misappropriating public funds, falsification of government records and conflict of interest.
Spaccia was acquitted of hiding a public document involving the police chief's contract. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy also declared a mistrial on another count after jurors deadlocked.
Spaccia said nothing as the verdict was read, but her mother and sister looked on, sobbing. She was taken away in handcuffs pending her sentencing next month.
She could face up to 17 years in prison but is likely to receive a much lighter sentence, said Deputy District Attorney Sean Hassett, who prosecuted the case.
"This is the most significant public corruption case our office has ever prosecuted," District Attorney Jackie Lacey said at a news conference. The Bell hierarchy committed "grand theft by paycheck," Lacey said.
She called the verdict a victory for the people of Bell, saying they were cheated out of $6 million.
Prosecutors had charged that Spaccia was deeply involved in approving enormous salaries for officials in a city where one in four residents lives below the federal poverty line — a city prosecutors described as suffering "corruption on steroids."
Spaccia, 55, testified that she knew she was making too much money when her salary exceeded $340,000, but she maintained it wasn't criminal.
She was left to stand trial alone after her former boss, Robert Rizzo, pleaded no contest to 69 corruption charges.
"She was unrepentant and refused to take any responsibility for her actions. They were thieves who used their power to steal money," Hassett said.
Spaccia began her job in 2003, and at first it appeared from the evidence that she was following Rizzo's orders "like a brainwash," juror Marco Islas said outside court. But by 2008 or 2009, things had changed.
"At the end, she knew what she was doing," Islas said.
By the end of her tenure, prosecutors said, Spaccia was making $564,000 a year in salary and other compensation. Rizzo was giving himself an annual salary and benefits package of $1.2 million. His $800,000 in wages alone was double that of the president of the United States.
Spaccia was not surprised by the verdicts because the lengthy deliberations — 10 days — led her to believe she would be found guilty of at least some charges, her attorney, Harland Braun, said outside court.
"Every judge and every jury in the Bell case wants to make an example of them," Braun said of the defendants in the corruption trials. "The overwhelming sense of the case is when you are making $500,000 a year, you should know something is wrong."
"When something seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true," Braun said. "She realizes that now."
The attorney said that Spaccia always maintained her innocence and never considered taking the same path as Rizzo, who in a plea deal acknowledged taking more than $5 million from the city.

The NHL lockout left many businesses and individuals without a regular flow of cash that comes only when the club is playing. Thats also true for the charities that rely on in-game fundraising.

A third candidate with no political experience grabbed the third remaining spot, squeaking by with a narrow victory.
City residents elected Dennis Murray Jr., Dick Brady and Naomi Twine into office, according to unofficial results.
They'll replace ex officio mayor John Hamilton, Diedre Cole, who both lost in Tuesday's election, and Pervis Brown, whose term ends Dec. 31.
The three candidates also defeated challengers Scott Schell and Patricia Ferguson.
Murray secured about 27 percent of the total vote, more than any other candidate. He said he's pumped up to return.
Voters elected Murray, a partner in the Murray & Murray law firm, to become a city commissioner in 2005. In 2009 he became a state representative for four years.
His top priority as he returns to the commission: address Sandusky's $1 million shortfall in the $16 million annual operating budget come early next year.
"I'm looking forward to being back and being involved in Sandusky's government," Murray said. "Immediately, we have to deal with the budget crisis that no one has been talking about. That's been the problem with city government during the past two years: Nobody is talking."
Watch video of Murray on election night and his plans for his return to office in the player below
Brady, who served one year as a commissioner in 2012 when he filled a vacant seat, is a local entrepreneur and owner of Brady Sign and Brady Electric. He said he wants to partner with neighboring communities and local governments so Sandusky can become more efficient and save taxpayer dollars.
"I believe the commission that is going to take office on Jan. 1 is going to set the city in a new direction," Brady said. "We are going to create a vision."
Watch video of Brady on election night and his plans for his return to office in the player below
Twine, an Ohio Veterans Home administrative assistant, has some experience with city government. She heads up the city's human relations commission, whose volunteers handle problems residents may have with city officials or services.
Twine's campaign centered on fixing Sandusky's finances as well.
"We need to look at the budget and come up with a strategic plan so we can move the city forward," she said.
Each commissioner won a four-year term, for which they'll earn about $5,200 a year.
Cole, who tried to win re-election as a write-in candidate, was disappointed with the loss.
"I didn't campaign, I didn't put up any signs, I did it at the last minute," Cole said. "I feel people need to put food on the table rather than give me money."
Since taking office in 2010, Cole has been the most vocal city commissioner, acting as the board's watchdog while exposing malfeasance, negligence and mishandling of public funds.

Paris Hilton has been having one heck of a new year. She's been out having fun almost every single day since the new year and has been seen hanging with a new group of people as well.
She has even managed to find herself a new man. Paris was seen having lunch at Le Petit Four with a "mystery man" over the weekend and when asked by photographers if he was her new boyfriend, she replied, "New year, new everything!"
So does this mean she is done with her Swedish boy toy? I really liked him! He was hot eye candy. Paris, bring Swedish boy back!

|Gems: The Duets Collection may bear a title that suggests it's a compilation, but this 2011 effort is a brand-new album containing nothing but new collaborations between Michael Bolton and similarly minded travelers of the middle of the road. It is new but it feels old, faithful to the early-`90s adult contemporary hits that made Bolton a superstar, and its biggest missteps arrive whenever Gems strays too far from that slick template, particularly when Bolton and Anne Akiko Meyers stumble through a strident reading of U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)." Moments like this don't arrive all that often, fortunately. Most of the time, Bolton stays in his comfort zone, turning in a surprisingly understated version of "You Are So Beautiful" with trumpeter Chris Botti, going toe-to-toe with Rascal Flatts on "Love Is Everything," sounding as big as the children choir on "Hallelujah." There are no surprises here, but there don't need to be: this is Bolton doing what he does best, and doing it so well that anybody who picks this up thinking it's a compilation won't be disappointed with what resides inside. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Pouring a foundation is the first critical step in building your home, so make sure you know what to look for if you're hiring a custom builder or doing a portion of the work yourself. Here are some foundation basics.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
Measuring your foundation for levelness alone is not enough to determine if your foundation needs repair. A foundation expert will evaluate all the factors.
Angie's Answers
Each state has different rules on what "as-is" means, but almost all use the term when it comes to realestate sales. At two years, you are facing a hurdle that any issue could be the result of new conditions, acceptable wear / settlement, etc. Has there been any changes in the area? (New house built next door, new addition, earthquake, flooding, etc?)
While you may have been given a home warranty with the purchase (do check your sales paperwork to see if there is any warranty and what it covers for how long) the house is sold to you as-is; it is your responsibility to raise concerns prior to taking over the house, so going back two years later is a huge up hill batle.
The home inspector is also going to be found faultless, as their reports almost always have words like "consult with an expert. . ." after each report section and they have disclaimers for missed items, etc. I got certified as a home inspector and was surprised at just how little they actually require you to know to become an inspector. They are really just an extra pair of eyes to help inexpereinced home owners look where most people don't look or go. You even mention that the repair work was well masked, so you didn't notice it until you began looking for it. A good inspector might have caught it, but you won't win any court cases proving yours wasn't good enough.
The Seller will claim that any foundation issues were fixed and resolved, which is why they marked "No" on the foundation issue section. They fixed it; so it was no longer an issue. If it came back, that is a new issue. You and I know this is bogus, but to win in court you have to prove intent; and the builder can easily show they thought it was fixed. Or, they might even be able to claim they were unaware - the repairs were from the previous owner, and were hidden so well HE and YOU didn't notice them.
So the next step is to meet with your home insurance agent. As I mentioned above, if there have been any enviromental changes (a new house next door could have changed the underground water table flow or pressures, for example) you may be covered. Even if there are no issues, you still may have a policy that allows for major repairs to be covered after a certian cost threshold, etc. You'd be surprised at what your home owners insurance covers - find out first; they might have in house or low cost engineers who will do the initial inspection, etc. They also will provide advice on your home sale; if they think you have a case against the Seller.
Best of luck on this issue. Make sure any solution you pay for solves the cause (Stress on the wall), and doesn't just fix the results (cracks).
Foundation Repair reviews in Holland
The crew came out on time and were fast, quiet (considering they had to jackhammer), and courteous. They even finished a day ahead of schedule. Follow up was very good. If I had questions or needed paperwork they were quick to get back with me.
I definitely shall never contact this company again or recommend them to anyone, other than to share my bad experience. I can understand if they had some type of situation preventing them from responding, yet as a business in this competitive
I am sorry I received no response as they might have been the company best suited to handle my problems and concerns. Again, they might have an unknown situation preventing them from responding or following up of which I am unaware. I have no way of knowing the answer to that question and this is now a lost opportunity for both of us.
This review is submitted strictly as an FYI to the other members for their consideration.
They used a large crew and installed the concrete piers and leveled the beams of the house in half a day. Immediately upon leaving, I realized that they didn't repair the seal plate. I called their office who got in touch with the foreman, and his crew came right back and repaired the seal plate the same day (he had overlooked it on the work order). While under the house, he noticed that there was another section of seal plate on the otherside that also had issues, and that he wanted to replace it. They did so the next day AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
Although they filled the holes from the installed piers with extra dirt, after the recent rains we had, a few of them sunk below ground level by about 1 foot. I called their office, and they had a guy come out the next day and refill the holes.
All in all, very pleased.

According to the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index released Tuesday, for the second consecutive month Las Vegas home prices nudged up 0.1 percent.
Las Vegas was one of just two cities in the report that saw prices increase in September.
Buyers are taking advantage of prices that are now more than 50 percent below their peak from four years ago. There is an increase in the number of out-of-state retirees and investors who are buying homes in the area with cash.
Washington, D.C. was the only other city to post an increase month over month in the Case-Shiller index.

How Likely is Extraterrestrial Life?
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreWhat does existing scientific knowledge about physics, chemistry, meteorology and biology tell us about the likelihood of extraterrestrial life and civilizations? And what does the fact that there is currently no credible scientific evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial biospheres or civilizations teach us? This book reviews the various scientific issues that arise in considering the question of how common extraterrestrial life is likely to be in our galaxy and whether humans are likely to detect it. The book stands out because of its very systematic organization and relatively unbiased treatment of the main open question. It covers all relevant aspects of many disciplines required to present the different possible answers. It has and will provide undergraduates with a stimulating introduction to many of these fields at an early stage in their university careers, when they are still choosing a specialty. The difficulties and the range of possible answers to the title question are carefully addressed in the light of present understanding. The resulting perspective is distinctly different from those suggested by most other books on this topic. less

Things I liked:I'm a retired NYS gunsmith with twenty years experience. This is one of fourteen assorted replica firearms I've purchased from Pyramyd Air and like all the others the quality, the price, the realism, and the attention to detail is exceptional.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:This replica is the next best thing to the original firearm.
Things I liked:Way cool! Just got it sighted well even with fixed sights. Got it in bundle pack with red dot scope it was a killer combo. Make sure you have a lot of BBs. I feel it uses CO2 at a fair level. Got several 100 shots before I started to drop on accuracy.Sights are set out around 40 ft but that works well with scope you can flip up sights and still use them looking thru scope.
Things I would have changed:BBs are a little tuff to shake into push rail. You can get faster with it with a little practice. A little more metal this is a good gun and I feel it deserves more than a nice plastic body.
What others should know:Even with 2 CO2s it still tends to freeze up and lose pressure with rapid fire. Lots of fun good one to add to any collection.
Things I liked:Expanding AR 15 type stock,military look,lots of mods avalible,co2 tank can be added with adapter.
Things I would have changed:More metal would give the gun a more realistic feel sights could be improved.
What others should know:It's better to use a Red Dot or another type scope than depend on the standard sight.

32 year old man | Belmont Shore, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 15 miles
Name the movie reference?
Let's see. I'm an ambitious guy, have a good sense of humor, and am a fiercely loyal friend. I've grown up with a very loving, albeit loud and argumentative extended family, and they are important to me. I love movies and all sorts of music, enjoy the beach, and used to play baseball and college lacrosse, as well as surf very poorly. Hmm. What else... Big time dog lover. I'll eat just about any type of food and love things spicy. Just plain love good food & enjoy cooking, though I usually just strike out without a recipe. Also an equal opportunity drinker: wine, beer, or liquor. Pick your poison; I'm good with it. Working in consulting now, but I have the entrepreneurial bug, so always keeping an eye out for that opportunity. Born and raised in SoCal and finished my masters in business from USC last year. I enjoy crosswords, particularly on a lazy weekend morning. Doing the NYT puzzle in the student newspaper got me through grad school :)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Football, Golf, Hockey, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
My family has always had cats and dogs. I grew up with a Golden Retriever that I absolutely loved. My folks have a couple of flat coats now, and when I get a place that can accommodate it, I look forward to getting a pooch of my own.
Living in Belmont Shores I love a lot of the little spots on 2nd street. I also have a handful of good eats I like to frequent in Orange County and LA. I generally put more importance my company than place, so I enjoy anything from dive bars on up.
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
I love movies and try to keep a couple good books going at any given time. I enjoy biking especially around the beach, and I enjoy watching most sports. I always make time to keep up with my friends and enjoy seeing them, whatever we get up to.
'Barbarians at the Gate' (in progress) and I reread 'the Sun Also Rises' before that

Query Suspend and Resume
Date Added: Jan 2011
Format: PDF
Suppose a long-running analytical query is executing on a database server and has been allocated a large amount of physical memory. A high-priority task comes in and people need to run it immediately with all available resources. The authors have several choices. They could swap out the old query to disk, but writing out a large execution state may take too much time. Another option is to terminate the old query and restart it after the new task completes, but they will waste all the work already performed by the old query. Yet another alternative is to periodically checkpoint the query during execution, but traditional synchronous checkpointing carries high overhead.

Originally written on Knicks Journal | Last updated 12/19/12
After a disheartening defeat to Jeremy Lin, Toney Douglas, and the new-look Houston Rockets, the Knicks will look to avenge their first home court loss, against the Nets on Wednesday.The two teams have already begun to have a heated inner-city rivalry, so far splitting the season series at one a piece. While Brooklyn shocked New York with a commanding loss earlier in the year, Jason Kidd's heroics helped his new team deflate the Nets on their home court during the two teams' second meeting of the year.Just as the Knicks showed a bit of resiliency in their latter efforts against Brooklyn, the Nets once again stand in New York's way of helping fans forget all about another demoralizing loss.New York's feeble effort on offense against Houston was largely in part due to the absence of Carmelo Anthony, who missed his second straight game on Monday. With a bevy of other games scheduled for this week, Coach Mike Woodson's squad will be taking it light on the practice side of things. Still ...
