WAR galaxy act 1: warriors of earth
Hello viewers this is my first ever fan fiction story so please be nice r&r warning based off of shelby the hedgehogs ed underground
Chapter one prolouge
(alternate Earth, Las Vegas 3pm)
"Las Vegas a wonderful place to live that is it was things changed over the years our government were working on experiments on human beings then one day a mad scientist named henry novak had decided to test the experiments on kids but what we did not know at the time was that he had a partner from another dimension his name is called Robotnick or as everyone calls him eggman the two were both brilliant in the mind but they used their inventions to hurt enslave and even kill animals men women and children alike and every time they fell to a single animal and his twin-tailed kitsune friend their names are sonic the hedgehog and miles "tails" prower after many attempts they decided to take a different approach eggman had captured tails and while he had captured tails he would imprison sonic and his friends ssonic bravely took the challenge but in the end he was tricked and him knuckles shadow cream and marine were captured so that eggman and novak could copy their dna and create clones that would fight and ultimately kill sonic after they took the blood sample they let sonic and his friends go and henry began his work for 7 months he had worked on them this is where my chapter begins my name is zorro"…
(test chambers,24 hours before zorros escape)(zorros pov)
I am running down a hallway it seems endless nothing seems to be in sight all I can see is a bright light but it seems so far away I am trying to run to it but every time its in my reach it ends up going farther away I am running faster and faster to the point my legs break the light suddenly surrounds my and the pain seemingly goes away and Instead the pain feeling is suddenly replaced by a warm feeling and I start to hear a voice saying
I start to open my eyes and and I see im in some weird tube! Not only that the green stuff around me isn't allowing me to breath I start to hold my breath for as long as I can which un foranetly doesn't last long because after 2 minutes I gasped for air and tried pounding on the tube as hard as I can and to my surprise it actually worked! The glass had broken and I fell out along with the green "goo" all that I could see though was 5 other tubes before darkness took my eyes
(17 hours later)
"where am i?" was I could think of but the main question was who am i? I took a quick look around the room and saw there was a table for something but I noticed there was a cage with a dead animal the animal had a long bushy tail short arms and legs but its head has apparently ripped of by something by what was the question
I took notice of the 7 tubes one was apparently broken apparently the one I woke up from but I quickly noticed that the 4th tube was open with no glass around it at all I quickly noticed a small name tag on my tube labeled "zorro" I guess that was my name I attempted to open the other 5 tubes which succsefully worked and I placed the nametags on each of the boys the first one I put one was labeled rusty miles audtitore aka rusty fogg the boy apparently named rusty was 6ft had spikey red hair two fox ears which were red as well ,two fox tails he was wearing a green jacket a red shirt and black pants and I noticed one of his tails were both blue one was a light shade and the other a dark shade of blue.
The next Pearson I saw whom was named matthew looked exactly the same as rusty in age height he also had two fox tails and fox ears but they were orange and all his clothes were black I put the nametag on his hand
Then I saw a hedgehog I saw he was 6 ½ ft completely red but his shoes were a rainbow color and he had only pants he was named Nathan so I put the nametag on his shoe
The next duo landed right next to each other holding hands which I felt was weird since their both boys
They both were the same height I guess 3 ft the boy on the right had really long rabbit ears and I mean really long they are almost to the boys waist he also had a raccoon tail which were brown while his ears were green and his long sleeved shirt was gray completely along with his pants I couldn't figure out what the boys name was but I guessed he was mason so I put the tag on his hand and the boy next to him who I named evan was a little bit taller then mason but unlike mason was wearing a red hat with two raccoon ears sticking out of it and a raccoon tail which was brown and black he was wearing a black shirt and red overalls and like the others and myself were wearing rainbow colored shoes except his were mainly green.
After I put the nametag on evan I decided to get us all out of wherever we are but how was the problem I decided to go outside and as luck would have it im in outer space in the shuttle room meaning I could get everyone out safe and sound but unfortanetly I had no idea how to pilot it and judgeing by the words written in blood saying kill zorro I knew what I had to do there were locations set in both escape pods so I had to put all 5 o those people in one pod but I was about to punch the button until I heard a voice
"what are you doing?"
After turning around and I saw a black furred hedgehog he had yellow quills and was wearing a green braclet on his right hand he had white gloves and shoes that matched Nathans except a little longer but then I noticed the nametag on his arm it said
Roger simply nodded and looked at the escape pod at the escape pod and he pointed his finger at the escape pod and I got in and I found 7 chairs and I got into one of the chairs and I waited impatiently I then decided to take a good look at myself to make sure of what I look like I doubted I am a human an-wait…. What the hell is a human? I now these things that I haven't even seen so why do I know humans when I don't know what a human looks like? I should ask roger when he gets here
15 minutes later
Finally after roger came I tried to see if I can make this bird fly wait whats- oh nevermind I want to get out of this place but why do I feel bad for not helping roger? Ill figure out later as roger came he put everyone on the chairs and strapped them in I quickly looked at the controls and to me and rogers surprise I recognized all the buttons the co-ordinates were already set so I just punched it and he got out of there but unfortunately we got shot shortly after entering the atmosphere and the blast send all 7 of us in different directions I suddenly looked down and I saw an island I suddenly recognized the island I don't know how until white took my eyes I then looked around mu surroundings I saw a beach and the ocean nothing in sight I saw what appeared to be a younger version of me working on a red bi-plane I guess how I knew that I don't know but I don't care suddenly I felt a strong surge of wind brush right pass me and he looked at the you fox kit then I gasped he had two fox tails then I heard the boy who I nicknamed tails say something and the same as the blue hedgehog right in front of the boy but the words were completely in audible I even tried touching them but my hand simply went through them both even the plane then finally the boy turned to me and he started glowing and the beach and hedgehog faded into nothingness I saw infront of me shortly after a purple fox with two tails and his eyes were completely white
"who are you?" I asked
I saw the fox look at me and he said with a smirk
"you don't recognize me? Im you"
Then I woke up from that little scene and I looked at my landing zone and I saw an island then I looked at my own body something I should have done from the start right? Then I realized what exactly I was I am a clone of him then I smile I couldn't tell why but I looked at the island while darkness takes my eyes
"I know this place this is where you met him where you woke up at with no memory this is"
Suddenly I felt the presence of a few people next to me rusty and matthew I smiled at them as I was falling but I knew they weren't real but the one that disturbed me the most was the robot and plant women right next to me I saw my tears falling from my eyes and smiled the plant women did the same then the mirages disappeared
"Westside Island"
that was the last thing I thought before darkness took me but strangely I thought their was someone watching me maybe it was those two people? Maybe someone saw me falling from the sky? I will never know
Authors notes
Hello viewers this one took a lot of information don't worry zorro isn't dead I have a lot of plans for him and the others in the future NEXT UP RUSTY AND MATTHES SIDE! Stayed tune please r & r

|Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)[1]
|Scientific classification
See text
Urtica is a genus of flowering plants in the family Urticaceae. Many species have stinging hairs and may be called nettles or stinging nettles, although the latter name applies particularly to Urtica dioica.
Urtica species are food for the caterpillars of numerous Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), such as the tortrix moth Syricoris lacunana and several Nymphalidae, such as Vanessa atalanta, one of the red admiral butterflies.[citation needed]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2013)
Urtica species grow as annuals or perennial herbaceous plants, rarely shrubs. They can reach, depending on the type, location and nutrient status, a height of 10–300 cm. The perennial species have underground rhizomes. The green parts have stinging hairs. Their often quadrangular stems are unbranched or branched, erect, ascending or spreading.
Most leaves and stalks are arranged across opposite sides of the stem. The leaf blades are elliptic, lanceolate, ovate or circular. The leaf blades usually have three to five, rarely up to seven veins. The leaf margin is usually serrate to more or less coarsely toothed. The often-lasting bracts are free or fused to each other. The cystoliths are extended to more or less rounded.
A large number of species included within the genus in the older literature are now recognized as synonyms of Urtica dioica. Some of these taxa are still recognized as subspecies.[citation needed]
Species in the genus Urtica, and their primary natural ranges, include:[citation needed]
- Urtica angustifolia Fisch. ex Hornem. China, Japan, Korea
- Urtica ardens China
- Urtica aspera Petrie South Island, New Zealand
- Urtica atrichocaulis Himalaya, southwestern China
- Urtica atrovirens western Mediterranean region
- Urtica australis Hook.f. South Island, New Zealand and surrounding subantarctic islands
- Urtica cannabina L., Western Asia from Siberia to Iran
- Urtica chamaedryoides (heartleaf nettle), southeastern North America
- Urtica dioica L. 1753 (stinging nettle or bull nettle), Europe, Asia, North America
- Urtica dioica subsp. galeopsifolia Wierzb. ex Opiz (fen nettle or stingless nettle), Europe. (Sometimes treated as a separate species Urtica galeopsifolia.)
- Urtica dubia (large-leaved nettle), Canada
- Urtica ferox G.Forst. (ongaonga or tree nettle), New Zealand
- Urtica fissa China
- Urtica gracilenta (mountain nettle), Arizona, New Mexico, west Texas, northern Mexico
- Urtica hyperborea Himalaya from Pakistan to Bhutan, Mongolia and Tibet, high altitudes
- Urtica incisa Poir (scrub nettle), Australia, New Zealand
- Urtica kioviensis Rogow. eastern Europe
- Urtica laetivirens Maxim. Japan, Northeast China
- Urtica linearifolia' (Hook.f.) Cockayne (creeping or swamp nettle), New Zealand
- Urtica mairei Himalaya, southwestern China, northeastern India, Myanmar
- Urtica massaica Africa
- Urtica membranacea Mediterranean region, Azores
- Urtica morifolia Canary Islands (endemic)
- Urtica parviflora Himalaya (lower altitudes)
- Urtica peruviana D.Getltman Perú
- Urtica pseudomagellanica D.Geltman Bolivia
- Urtica pilulifera (Roman nettle), southern Europe
- Urtica platyphylla Wedd. China, Japan
- Urtica procera Mühlenberg (tall nettle), North America
- Urtica pubescens Ledeb. Southwestern Russia east to central Asia
- Urtica rupestris Sicily (endemic)
- Urtica sondenii (Simmons) Avrorin ex Geltman northeastern Europe, northern Asia
- Urtica taiwaniana Taiwan
- Urtica thunbergiana Japan, Taiwan
- Urtica triangularisa
- Urtica urens L. (small nettle or annual nettle), Europe, North America
Thanks to the stinging hairs, Urtica species are rarely eaten by herbivores, so they provide long-term shelter for insects, such as aphids, caterpillars,[2] and moths.[3] The insects, in turn, provide food for small birds, such as tits.[4]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (November 2011)
Much historical evidence of use of Urtica species (or nettles in general) in medicine, folk remedies, cooking and fibre production relate to one species - Urtica dioica, but a fair amount also refers to the use of Urtica urens, the small nettle, which is preferred because it has more stinging hairs per leaf area than the more common species.[citation needed] It may be inappropriate and probably inaccurate to assume that all nettles exhibit similar properties in all cases, but where an action can be attributed to principles found in the species, such as histamine, choline, formic acid and silica, a rational basis for their use is still available.[citation needed] However, the fact that a medical action can be attributed to a single constituent does not imply that the entire plant will have the same action.
Arthritic joints were traditionally treated by whipping the joint with a branch of stinging nettles. Various studies support the effectiveness of this treatment.[5][6]
Species of Urtica have been studied for their effects on prostate hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, rheumatic disease, hypertension, gastrointestinal symptoms, osteoarthritis, diarrhea, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, pain,[7] constipation, gastrointestinal disease, headache, nausea, common cold, arthritis, asthma, bleeding, respiratory tract disease, allergic rhinitis, kidney disease, prostate cancer, skin disease and urinary tract disease.[citation needed] In terms of allergies, nettle contains properties of an antihistamine to be used for treating reactions associated with the respiratory system.[citation needed] Nettles can also be used to make a herbal tea known as nettle tea.
Prehistoric use[edit]
Fabric woven of nettle fibre has been found in burial sites dating back to the Bronze Age.[8]
In folklore[edit]
Nettles have many folklore traditions associated with them. The folklore mainly relates to the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), but the similar non-stinging Lamium may be involved in some traditions.[citation needed]
Myths about health and wealth[edit]
- Nettles in a pocket will keep a person safe from lightning and bestow courage.[citation needed]
- Nettles kept in a room will protect anyone inside.[citation needed]
- Nettles are reputed to enhance fertility in men, and fever could be dispelled by plucking a nettle up by its roots while reciting the names of the sick man and his family.[citation needed]
Milarepa, the great Tibetan ascetic and saint, was reputed to have survived his decades of solitary meditation by subsisting on nothing but nettles; his hair and skin turned green and he lived to the age of 83.[9]
The Caribbean trickster figure Anansi appears in a story about nettles, in which he has to chop down a huge nettle patch in order to win the hand of the king's daughter.[10]
An old Scots rhyme about the nettle:
- "Gin ye be for lang kail coo the nettle, stoo the nettle
- Gin ye be for lang kail coo the nettle early
- Coo it laich, coo it sune, coo it in the month o' June
- Stoo it ere it's in the bloom, coo the nettle early
- Coo it by the auld wa's, coo it where the sun ne'er fa's
- Stoo it when the day daws, coo the nettle early."
- (Old Wives Lore for Gardeners, M & B Boland)
Coo, cow, and stoo are all Scottish for cut back or crop (although, curiously, another meaning of "stoo" is to throb or ache), while "laich" means short or low to the ground.[11] Given the repetition of "early," presumably this is advice to harvest nettles first thing in the morning and to cut them back hard [which seems to contradict the advice of the Royal Horticultural Society].
A well-known English rhyme about the stinging nettle is:
- Tender-handed, stroke a nettle,
- And it stings you for your pains.
- Grasp it like a man of mettle,
- And it soft as silk remains.
In Hans Christian Andersen's fairy-tale "The Wild Swans," the princess had to weave coats of nettles to break the spell on her brothers.

Town Square
Alllied Arts Guild President Knows What She's Doing
Original post made by An Allied Arts Supporter, Menlo Park: Belle Haven, on Mar 17, 2007
She fervently believes that meetings and conferences are the future of the Guild, and that art galleries will draw many paying patrons. Our consultants assured us that this was a winning strategy, and we just need to find the right approach to attracting such business. The old restaurant was dated and the number of guests was declining. Why keep it when a newer, more contemporary caterer or tenant could bring in more business and better serve the large meeting markets we know will come. The restaurant volunteers were given the required 60 days notice and we wish them well.
Any important decisions, such as redefining the Allied Arts Guild, necessarily would be shared with the Association of Auxiliaries and the Hospital Liaison. Because many (if not most) of those individuals have roots in the Woodside-Atherton Auxiliary (were members of our group), they fully understand the need for taking whatever actions are necessary to grow and expand the Guild property, and return it to profitability.
As our property grows to become a destination meeting complex, the validity of the tough decisions made by this strong leader of the Woodside-Atherton volunteer group will become obvious to all. The complex's neighbors will welcome having such a renowned facility as part of their community.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Justin Bieber does it again and makes a "Belieber" out of one very special local teenager. After help from generous First Coast News viewers, Laura Mongore got to meet Bieber face to face.
"I'm very excited," said Mongore, in the moments leading up to her meeting with Justin Bieber.
RELATED:Friends give Bieber tickets to fellow teenager
Mongore, 15, wore a heart around her neck she made while she was in the hospital.She gave it to Justin Bieber.
Her wish was to attend Bieber's concert and after a little help from our viewers she got tickets. But the Bieber fever didn't stop there.
A 'Help Laura Meet JB' hashtag spread the news and touched 14-year-old Taylor Gorham, who decided to donate her meet and greet pass to Laura.
"I feel great," said Mongore.
And it was great that along with this journey to meet Bieber, many of his fans also got to meet Laura.
So many young teens took pictures with her outside the Veterans Memorial Arena. Laura and Taylor got to attend a private VIP party before the concert.
Thousands of fans who didn't get to meet Bieber face to face, still got photos with him, wellwith cardboard cutout Bieber. There were fans with signs, fans with Bieber shirts, and even fans with Bieber bling.
"This is a JB necklace," said Aubrie Rowe.
Justin Bieber's next scheduled stop is Tampa, then another concert in Atlanta before his tour goes international.

Who could it be in this picture, wearing oversized shades and enjoying a refreshing drink from Starbucks? None other than Joe Jonas, the famed singer of the trio of three brothers. Joe attempted to conceal his identity in Toronto with a beige hooded shirt, which featured contrast stitching and a button down neck. One of the most stylish hooded shirts we've seen in a long time!

Debt-ridden Yorkshire have found themselves involved in further expenditure that is needed to put their new pavilion in order.
The huge Carnegie Pavilion, for which Leeds Metropolitan University provided two thirds of the £21m construction costs, has come in for criticism from various quarters.
Duncan Eccles, the club's electronic scoreboard operator, resigned because he can't see the board from his seat in the ground, a problem he claims to have raised "before a brick was laid".
Johnny Dennis, the ECB's matchday announcer, was so unhappy with his facilities that he refused to work in the new pavilion.
Australia captain Ricky Ponting was reported to be unimpressed during last summer's Test against Pakistan at Headingley, which took place just after the pavilion was opened in July. Some Yorkshire players are also known to consider the dressing room facilities inadequate.
Yorkshire are working with the ECB to put things right in time for the first match at Headingley, a County Championship game against Durham starting on April 14.
Gordon Hollins, the ECB's managing director (county business), told the Yorkshire Post: "We are very comfortable where we are with Yorkshire. As with any new building, there have been one or two teething issues, but Yorkshire are working hard to put them right."
Richard Kaye, Yorkshire's sales director, said: "There have been a few operational issues. But it's nothing different from what you would expect from any new development of this size. Everything will be sorted by the start of the season.
"We are improving the acccommodation for the players and we are responding as best we can to various observations made by matchday officials. We are taking on board the feedback that has come through from umpires and match referees."
Yorkshire do not have full use of the pavilion, renting some of the rooms from Leeds Met, who use it as a teaching facility.

Celebrate Oktoberfest all month long
It's October and for the food, beer and fun lovers out there, that means Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is a German tradition that dates back to the early 1800s in Munich, Germany. Originally a party to celebrate a royal wedding, Oktoberfest is now a month long party (or longer) filled with all the food and drink of the region.
The thing is, Oktoberfests often need a bit of a push around these parts. It can be easy to find a one day or one weekend event, but the trick it making Oktoberfest last all the way until Halloween.
Here are a few ways to make Oktoberfest every day, even up to and including Oct. 31.
Get thee to Helen, Ga.
Helen, Georgia is one of the largest and most popular German communities in the Southeast. Surrounded by beautiful rivers, wonderful scenery and a tourism community that is both tacky and tasteful, Helen brings Germany to our own backyard.
Only an hour or so away from Anderson, Helen holds their Oktoberfest party from September through the end of October and fills the streets with polka music, the sweet and sour aromas of roasted meats and pickled everything and the flowing brews that make Germany an amazing place to visit.
The Helen Oktoberfest is held in the Helen Festhalle and has German music, dancing, food and drink seven days a week until Oct. 28. Enjoy waltzes, polkas, the Chicken Dance and plenty of schnizel whenever you want.
Helen Festhalle

Mondays through Thursdays from 6 to 10:30 p.m.
Fridays from 6 p.m. to midnight
Saturdays from 1 p.m. to midnight

Make the food of Oktoberfest
Food is just as important as beer when it comes to enjoying a quality Oktoberfest. There are dozens upon dozens of traditional Oktoberfest foods you could eat from Sauerbraten, a national dish of Germany that consists of a pot roast marinated in a brine of vinegar, water and wine for three days and covered with gravy and served with red cabbage and apples to the spatzle (egg noodles), the Blaukraut, a stewed red cabbage, and the Kartofflesalat, a German potato salad served warm.
But the most popular among the Americans has to be the Bratwurst. Bratwursts are simply a pork sausage served on a large roll and often topped with sauerkraut and mustard. And if you want to go a little crazy with your brats this Oktoberfest, cook them in the wonderful beers you will be enjoying.
For the uninitiated, here is a simple beer brat recipe that will have crowds going crazy.
4 (12 ounce) cans beer
1 large onion, diced
10 bratwurst
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. When hot, lightly oil grate.
2. Combine the beer and onions in a large pot; bring to a boil. Submerge the bratwurst in the beer; add the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook another 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bratwurst from the beer mixture; reduce heat to low, and continue cooking the onions.
3. Cook the bratwurst on the preheated grill, turning once, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the beer mixture as a topping or side.
Get to know your German beers
It wouldn't be Octoberfest without German beers. But when you get to the store and see all the different varieties they have it can be a bit, well, daunting. German beers run the gamut and usually fall into the lager category. But there are some ales around and there are some wheat beers that prove that the Germans have always known what they are doing when it comes to beer.
Most altbiers are copper to brownish-amber in color, and light to medium in body, with a pronounced malt character that is not overpowering. Altbier lacks hop aroma but has medium to high bitterness, especially in the finish. They have a smoother palate, less yeastiness and less acidity than classic British ales.
Kölschbier is usually ordered simply as "Kölsch." Kölsch is very pale in color and is noted for its delicacy rather than for any robust distinctiveness. It is clean-tasting, light-bodied (very well attenuated), soft, and drinkable. These beers are faintly fruity and are slightly acidic, with a medium-hoppy dryness and often with a slightly herbal taste in the finish.
Traditional German bocks are not too bitter and do not have hop aroma or flavor of any consequence. The bock family of beers also includes many different substyles, such as dopplebock, dunkler bock, eisbock and heller bock.
Dortmunder Export
Generally, Dortmunder is a strong pale lager that is characterized by more bitterness and less maltiness than Munich heller but far less bitterness and more malt body than German Pilsners. The color is very pale, like that of Pilsner, but the beer has a higher gravity than other mainstream pale lagers.
"Octoberfest" or "märzen" are terms used interchangeably. This style of beer is amber-red in color, slightly above average in gravity and alcohol, and moderately hopped, but with no lingering hop bitterness. It is medium-bodied, and the balance is decidedly towards maltiness, with just enough bitterness to keep the beer from tasting too sweet.
Munich Dark
This is a traditional style in Munich that is labeled simply "dunkels," meaning "dark." In the United States they are often labeled as "dark beer." Munich dark is usually dark-amber to dark-brown in color. It is distinctly toasted (not burnt), with a nutty, chocolate-like malt sweetness in aroma and flavor.
Munich Helles
Helles, often referred to as "light Munich," is a mildly hopped, malty, well-balanced pale to golden- to straw-colored beer. Helles is maltier and less hoppy than dunkel; yet, like dunkel, it is sweet, lightly hopped, and has a nose that is straight malt.
The most well-known type of lager beer in Germany is Pilsner. Pilsner is a golden-colored beer that has good malt and a definite hop accent in both its flowery bouquet and its dry finish.
Rauchbier literally means "smoked beer." Rauchbier is darkish-amber and opaque in color with a blend of smoke and malt, with a varying balance and intensity.
Schwarzbier (Black Beer)
Schwarzbier means "black beer" in German that is medium to very dark brown in color, often with deep ruby to garnet highlights. It is a medium-bodied, malt-accented dark brew with very mild, almost bittersweet, notes of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla.
Vienna style lager is amber-red to copper in color, with a soft maltiness of aroma and palate. It should have a dry finish, with a little sweetness on the palate. This beer is light- to medium-bodied, with low to medium bitterness and a very mild hop flavor and aroma.
Wheat Beers
Berliner Weisse
Berliner weisse is known as the champagne of beers. The Berliner Weisse style has a pronounced sour taste and is very pale, effervescent and lightly hopped. Weisse is often considered a summer drink.
Dunkles Weizen
Dunkles weizen is the dark version of paler weizenbiers, but with a more pronounced malty aroma and flavor. These beers are similar in flavor to hefe weizen, but the malt aroma is more pronounced.
Hefe Weizen
Hefe weizen is the beer of choice in Bavaria. These beers are pale-to-golden colored, light- to medium-bodied, and highly effervescent, with a slight maltiness.
Kristall Weizen
Kristall weizen is usually identified simply as a weizenbier (though sometimes as a weissbier or a weisse). Weizen beer lacks the acidity and sourness of Berliner weisse but often has a clove-like and banana aroma produced by the yeasts.
Weizenbock is stronger and more robust than dunkel weizen. The phenolic character is still evident in weizenbock, but more emphasis is placed on the malt character of the beer. Weizenbocks are usually more liberally hopped than the paler weizenbiers.

Favorite thing about Albion and why: Albion teaches me how to think, not what to think! Irreplaceable professors and small classes allows for genuine discussion, constant questions, and full exploration of topics. Living and learning here has really pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and experience things I had never even considered! Instead of sticking with routine, I'm constantly learning more about myself and the world through new people and experiences at Albion. Both inside and outside of class, Albion is just an incredible environment that has allowed me to grow into a really passionate young woman!
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why: I'd want to stop sleeping! I could get so much more done in a day if I didn't have to sleep! Don't get me wrong — I love sleeping… But so much life is wasted! I'd much rather be learning and growing more, traveling, and making double the memories!

Analyst: Jobs clear of options scandal
updated 02:25 pm EDT, Wed October 18, 2006
Analyst on options scandal
Apple CEO Steve Jobs will maintain his position at Apple amidst shareholder worries, according to one analyst, following an investigation into recently discovered stock options backdating. Gene Munster, senior analyst of research firm Piper Jaffray notes that despite a total of 150 companies performing options investigations resulting in the resignation of nine CEOs, Apple's top exec is almost certainly in the clear. "The bottom line, it is becoming clear that Steve Jobs will remain Apple's CEO," Munster said. Many Apple shareholders believe Jobs' placement at the head of the company is key to the success of its current and future business efforts, which raised concerns after news broke that one illegally backdated grant was offered to Jobs. Another announcement clarified that Jobs in fact knew of the backdated stock options, but failed to realize the accounting repercussions of such activities. Piper Jaffray is maintains its "outperform" rating on Apple shares with a price target of $99.
"Apple concluded its internal options investigation and found no misconduct by any current members of the management team," said Munster. "As a result of the investigation findings, former Apple CFO Fred Anderson has resigned from the board of directors and Apple will likely restate its financials."
The analyst warns that although Jobs may free of being forced to resign from his position as chief of Apple, the shady activities revealed by the investigation tarnish Apple's "squeaky clean" image. The discovered issues are not expected to impact Apple's underlying fundamentals, however. Looking ahead, Munster expects investors to shift their focus to processor market share gains and strong iPod sales through the upcoming holiday season.

Ultralight and ultra lofty.
The Western Mountaineering UltraLite Sleeping Bag lives up to its name by keeping your load manageable while still packing in a hefty dose of premium 850-fill down for those chilly nights. A soft taffeta lining caresses trail-weary skin and, thanks to the Pertex shell's breathability, the climate inside of the bag stays comfortable on balmier nights.
- Highly breathable, water-resistant Pertex shell protects the down insulation from frost, condensation, and spindrift
- Packs 16 ounces of ultra-premium, 850-fill down insulation to retain your body's warmth and maintain a super-high warmth-to-weight ratio
- Interlocking draft tubes and a down-filled collar prevent energy-sucking drafts from zapping your slumber
- Slightly narrower shoulder girth helps eliminate pockets of dead air for improved warmth retention
- Western Mountaineering bags are made in the USA

This Bag is WARM
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'll start by saying I run very very cold. I was using a 3.7 lb. zero deg bag year round (except for hot desert camping) for the last 7 yrs and I have no problem sacrificing weight for comfort. I was concerned with the continuous baffles on this bag and losing the heat underneath me since I toss and turn a lot but as it turned out it was never an issue. I did a 5 night 6 day Sierra trip at the beginning of August (warm for some, cold for me) and would normally take the zero but I was on a mission to drop weight so after reading the incredible reviews I bit the bullet and spent some money on this bag and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
It's so light, it definitely helped me get to my goal pack weight and it packs so small it's hard to believe how warm it kept me and how well it lofts. I slept with a light base pant and shirt, no socks and when we had a couple of really clear, cool and very windy nights and I got chilled, I tightened the collar a bit and like magic the heat was instantaneous. The pull ties were easy to work with on the hood and around the neck and I was able to find the perfect combo. Another plus is my zero zipper ALWAYS snags, every time, and this one didn't snag once, even from an opposite pull across my back.
This bag blew me away. Based on the reviews I knew it was a good bag but I didn't expect it to perform as well as it did for me and I see many years of use in it's future. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for warmth and to save weight.
Hey there - Thank you for the great review! Yes, the Ultralite is WARM, and a big reason is that it is a narrow and efficient bag. Not alot of dead air space to heat up! Awesome bag by Western!
Western Mountaineering rep
Anyone have thoughts on AlpinLite vs UltraLite for a 5-6 ~130lbs female, side sleeper? Do girls find the UltraLite too snug because the're not shaped like a carrot?
Anyone have issues with dampness/wetness with this bag?
YES!!! I am NOT shaped like a carrot! It was too snug for me. For a side sleeper, I would definitely go AlpinLite.
Thanks for the question!

Fantastic bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is an amazing bag. Super warm, super lofty, and super lightweight. You usually don't get all that in a single package. Western Mountaineering makes lifelong bags. I have several of their bags and they're all amazing; this one is no different. I have buddies that have over 20 years with their WM bags. This is a fantastic spring, summer, and early fall bag. It's true to its 20* rating.
The degree is 20F. What does that mean? Feedback much appreciated!
Jared Downs, Gearhead
The 20F temp rating means that Western Mountaineering has built this bag to perform down to that temperature.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!

Why do you not show normal metric weights and measures. They would be a help for anyone outside America as that is the only place using old measures these days. The vast majority of UL hikers are metric familiar as "gram counters".

High Quality, Lightweight but lofty
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I agonized over the Ultralite and Alpinlite sleeping bags. I am a side sleeper and initially went for the Alpinlite. I tried it out, and this bag is perfect for bigger people. I am 6'1" and 175 lbs. This bag is too big for me. It packs into a small stuff sack, but not small enough for me. I returned it and went for the Ultralite. This bag is just as "thick" feeling (quality), fits me side sleeping and packs much smaller than the Alpinlite. I ordered a sea to summit 10 L bag to compress it even further.
Trying to decide between this or the WM Alpinelite 20 degree bag. Can't really tell what's different. Looking for something that's 3 season, light/ultralight and good for back AND side sleeping as I sometimes roll around. Is the only difference that the Alpinelite is a little roomier? Feedback much appreciated!
Ben Rabinowitz, Gearhead
Hey Cri,
You nailed it! The two bags are pretty much identical except that the Alpinelite is a roomier cut.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions or if you'd like to place an order.
which outer material is used on this bag? on web page it says Extremelite but i can not get any info how water resistant is this fabric. How does it compare to Pertex Endurance? Can you tell me how much g/sm? Thx
Does "right zip" mean the zipper is on my right hand side as I'm laying in the bag?
Hey Robert, Leta here with Western Mountaineering. It does eaxctly. Some people don't care which way, but if you are right handed, it's a bit easier to zip up and down when the zipper is on your left side, as you reach across your body.
Hope this was helpful!
Can someone please post a picture of this bag compressed next to a Nalgene for comparison?

Will a 6' left zip together with a 5' 6"...
Will a 6' left zip together with a 5' 6" right? If so how does that work? Are the zippers actually the same length and only the tail of the one bag longer? Thanks
My wife and I try that same setup, but with a regular right and a long left zip configuration. The bags mate well (assuming similar zipper size and type), but there's a large gap between our shoulders where her zipper ends and my bag extends a few extra inches. This creates a bad draft, and cold spots. The foot of my bag also reaches a little farther than hers, which is expected. The positive side is that it gives both of you a little more room to move around, and keeps the bags in place if you turn in your sleep. It isn't advisable on nights getting down to the bag's rating though, because of the mismatch.
awesome bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Really great sleeping bag; lightweight and warm for the rating.
Can't decide on the ultralight or the...
Can't decide on the ultralight or the alpinlight. I am skinny - 6-2 150 pounds and am worried the girth of the alpinlight might be too much. However the extra room may be nice for layering and room to move around. Any suggestions?
Your worry is well founded. If the bag is too big you will have dead space that needs to be warmed. On the other hand, if you feel like you prefer to layer and have room to move around and can live with the extra space, the the Alpinlite might be a good way to go. Best of luck!
I am in the same boat. I am just under 6 feet tall and my current bag claims to be 62 in shoulder circumference and I am worried about the ultralite bag being to tight.
Excellent & light weight
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Really warm for a bag that packs down so small. Weighs almost nothing, but is warm enough for late fall/early winter. Comfy down to -10 C if you wear a wool shirt :-)
Amazing Bag- Bag For Life
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I first bought the HighLite 35 degree bag, slept out in New York in November and was a bit cold, so I returned it and got the UltraLite. The bag is incredible- super warm, great construction, packs down very small. Expensive, but I expect it will last for decades.
Like it but may be too small
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought the Ultralite and the Alpinlite to see which fit me better. Both bags are very well made and both are the long (6'6") size. The stitching is perfect, the zippers work great without snagging although I am careful with them just to be safe. The problem for me is determining which one to keep. I think this is a fairly common occurrence, so I thought I?d try to provide some information for anyone trying to make the decision.
I think I've read every article on the internet about both bags and am really sold on staying with WM. I'm 6'1.5" and fluctuate between 170 and 180 lbs. My chest measurement is 42.
It seems like the Ultralite's shoulders are fine at 60"but the hip measurement feels fairly tight. I think the foot measurement is fine, although I can notice the inch difference on the Alpinlite in that area.
As far as the Alpinelite...I really like the foot measurement of 39". I also like the hip measurement of 56" a lot more that the Ultralite's 52". It doesn't seem like a lot, but it is to me. I'm mostly a side sleeper in case you were wondering. The Alpinlite?s should measurement is what makes me wonder which one to keep. It?s really large at 65?. There is considerable difference between the two and it?s almost as if I need the Alpinlite?s hip and foot measurements with the Ultralite?s shoulder measurements. The bags are so similar with respect to function, that it doesn?t make sense to keep both. I may end up keeping the Alpinlite because I flop around a lot at night. The perfect WM bag for me would be a 20 degree bag with the following measurements ? 60-62?shoulder, 56? hip, 39? foot.
I give the bag 5 starts because the fit and finish is immaculate and everything works as it should.
One more note - If you are over 6 feet tall go ahead and get the long. It will be perfect once you extend your toes.
Thank you for your review. I am in the situation and have been struggling between these two bags. I ultimately want the Alpinlite but it is not in stock at the tim of this response and I need it before the beginning of Sep ;(

Sandy Brown, Vendor Rep
Go with the 6'. If you are too big for a bag, you will over-compress the insulation and lower the temp rating.

I'm a petite female looking for my first down bag after borrowing a friends' and loving it.
I swore I'd never camp again with temps under 25 degrees with my current bag.... would the ultralight be warm in temps down to 15? What temp bag should I actually be looking for? These temp ratings can be confusing!
I'm like a lot of women...cold feet, hands, cold everything....
I'm also interested in a bag that packs light and small..this thing goes with me on my bike, suitcase, and whatever couch I might be crashing on....
Thanks for any advice!
If you cold take the warmes sleepingbag you can take.
The EN rating is what you lokking for. it said women r cold and need a warmer bags...dont go by the US raiting, you get cold
I hope it's help (:
Kate Williamson, Vendor Rep
Disregard what Guy said--EN ratings are good for comparing different brands of bags but don't give you an accurate temperature that you'll be comfortable in.
Western bags are over filled and conservatively rated. I have slept in a 25degree Western sleeping bag in 25degree weather and I was perfectly warm and I get cold easily. The key is the amount of down put into the bag. Not only does Western use the highest quality European goose down they can get, they then put large amounts of it in the bags.
I'd trust the temperature rating with Western Mountaineering bags. The average person would be warm 5 degree below the rating, but if you are thinking you'll regularly experience below 20 degrees AND you run cold, I'd think about the Versalite for a couple ounces more. You could also get a sleeping bag liner that would boost the temp rating on the trips you think temps would be colder than 20.
Hope this helps...
As far as EN ratings go- I have never, ever found any sleeping bags that have met of exceeded WM's in accuracy. WM has never let me down and cost me a single night's sleep because I was cold....the only problem is not wanting to get up in the morning.
Western mountaineering bags are indeed conservatively rated. If you look at a UK site, you'll get the EN ratings (EN is required in europe I believe). Over in the EU the Ultralite is billed as a 16F bag rather than a 20F as in the States. I think they refrain from quoting the EN rating because they have built a decades long brand on their old conservative ratings and want to maintain reliability from year to year over marketing hype (even if it is in their favor).

Trigger Warning: This post discusses things, including rape, which may be upsetting to some readers. Also, an embedded video discussing the event does include clips from footage of the actual incident.
Upworthy has shared an excellent video in which a narrator breaks down how a horrible rape case is the result of rape culture, as opposed to an isolated, unthinkable aberration. A high school football team in Steubenville, OH raped a drunk and passed-out girl and took video and photos of it, which were distributed online.
The video below explains how society, and specifically the media and TV/film, encourage and reinforce strong, remorseless masculinity, and discourage weakness as "gay," and how the failure of parents, teachers, and coaches to teach young men to respect women and to not be what he calls "creepy" make incidents like the one in Steubenville possible and not totally surprising.

Sandra Bullock on Jesse James' Cheating, Divorce: "Nobody Can Be Prepared for Anything"
Sandra Bullock is in a much calmer place than she was about three and a half years ago. In March 2010 -- fresh off of her Best Actress Oscar win for Blind Side -- the actress, now 49, saw her five-year marriage to Jesse James absolutely implode in front of the public. Motorcycle customizer James, 44, infamously cheated on his movie star wife with multiple women, many of whom spoke to the press about the affairs.
PHOTOS: Sandy and Jesse's weird romance
"We're all where we're supposed to be," Bullock says in the October issue of Vogue when asked about that painful ordeal. "I am exactly where I want to be now. You can't go backward. I'm not going backward. I'm grateful that I'm here, blessed to have what I have. Nobody can be prepared for anything."
PHOTOS: One of Jesse's mistresses
Indeed. the Gravity star has much to be thankful for these days: Back in early 2010, shortly before James' cheating -- and their June divorce -- dominated headlines, Bullock had secretly adopted son Louis. "If you end up in a place where you can look back and go, 'It happened, but I'm so lucky to be sitting where I am sitting.'" muses Bullock.
PHOTOS: Sandy's life with Louis
The Southerner chuckles to Vogue about how she managed to keep Louis under wraps for so long, even as she hit the 2010 awards circuit, winning one trophy after the next for Blind Side. The brunette says she would often give phone interviews to journalists with baby Louis gurgling in the background . "Thank God for the mute button," she says.
Although the Proposal star had wanted to adopt for some time, Louis arrived with not much warning, with a quick call from an adoption agency. Instantly ecstatic, Bullock resisted the urge to break the news at the 2010 Oscars. "I wanted to get up there and say, 'Guess what?!'" but she opted not to.
PHOTOS: Sandy's (platonic!) PDA with her famous pals
While Bullock's career is better than ever -- The Heat was one of summer 2013's biggest hits, and Gravity is getting major Oscar buzz -- the still-single actress knows what her priorities are. "Work was my life before . . . Now I have no reason to leave home."
Are more kids in the future? Maybe. "If all of a sudden someone said, 'You have five more kids,' I'd be totally OK with it," she says. "I'm having such an amazing time. Whatever comes our way, we handle as a family. It's not just me anymore."

As 2D barcodes become commonplace, consumers are getting more comfortable interacting with brands on mobile devices. This is good because it means more people will be scanning more barcodes as time goes on. It does not, however, mean that the innovative use of 2D barcodes has reached its zenith. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
There are numerous ways marketers can use action codes such as Tag to influence consumers. Over time, we may even change consumer behavior with respect to 2D barcodes and set standards for what we all come to expect after performing a scan. Here are some ideas to consider when it comes to changing consumer behavior with Tag:
1. Set the bar high. The sky is the limit, especially with Tag. Sure, you could always have a scan send users straight to your latest promo, but remember that greater interactivity means greater engagement with your brand. Why not use scans to enter users into contests? Or subscribe them to updates on a product line? Set a standard for consumer expectations, and set that standard high. Speaking of expectations…
2. Have consumers expect value. You can do this by providing that value–consistently. To encourage your audience to scan a Tag, tell them exactly what they're going to get. Use Tag as a call to action, and be clear about what's going to happen. The more attractive the reward, the more likely they'll be to scan.
Observers have already identified some areas where marketers could improve the level of engagement they receive through the use of 2D barcodes. Magazines, for instance, present a fantastic opportunity for the mobile and print worlds to converge, but advertisers are already finding that they need to provide greater value with barcodes if readers are going to act. This is one reason print mediums present an exciting opportunity to do new things with Tag.
3. Keep up with 2D barcode trends. And act on them. For example, we now know that 20% of all smartphone users redeem mobile coupons. Use Tags to make offers that the data indicates will elicit a response from your audience. You'll engage them more easily, and you'll turn scanning the barcode into a more natural action over time.
4. Reach consumers at the right moment. Your audience is more likely to act if your timing is optimal. Consider the time and place someone will encounter your Tag. And use important dates to your advantage–especially if you have a holiday deal or special.
Be mindful of the setting in which someone is likely to scan your barcode. If it's a public location, you may not want to include audio. The sound could be difficult to hear or they may not want to listen out of respect for other people in the vicinity. Responses will be more positive when you take the setting into account.
5. Avoid the bandwagon. It's probably boring, and you don't want to be boring. For example, if everyone in your industry just directs barcode scans to existing content on their website, they're probably not adding much value to a consumer's experience. This is your chance to be a leader. Use Tag to connect with your audience in ways others haven't thought of yet. You'll encourage engagement and enjoy better results.
Also take a look at how other industries have successfully integrated Tag into their existing customer outreach. They may be doing something you haven't thought of yet, and you can leverage their experience to bring more value to your organization's marketing efforts.
6. Encourage brand awareness. One of the great things about Tag is its versatility and brandability when pitted against other 2D barcode technologies. While you can certainly use black-and-white Tags, you can also integrate your company logo or other identifiable elements of your marketing campaign. Tag can help consumers recognize your brand and associate it with the value you provide on mobile platforms.

Universal Nutrition
Widely praised as the best liquid carnitine supplement available, CarniTech is a natural lipothermic nutrient complex consisting of USP grade L-carnitine. For starters, every three tablespoons of CarniTech provide approximately 2 grams of the purest L-carnitine available. But what makes CarniTech superior to all other carnitine products is that CarniTech also contains unique carnitine co-factors such as guarana, ginseng, green tea, glycerol, and willow bark. CarniTechs exclusive and comprehensive formulation makes it a true standout dieting product.
By now the benefits of L-carnitine are well known. Carnitine has been lauded for its ability to promote fat oxidation; preserve muscle glycogen; reduce blood-lactate levels during exercise; increase endurance; maximize oxygen uptake; and improve anaerobic-strength output. L-carnitine accomplishes many of these benefits by functioning as a shuttle. Carnitine can transport your bodys long-chain fatty acids (the highest energy food fuels) across the mitochondrial membrane (the power plant of the cell) for enhanced energy production. Without carnitine, fats cannot be burned for energy and instead, are stored as bodyfat.
While carnitine is the foundation, four other key ingredients make up CarniTechs pillars. Glycerol, a three-carbon molecule, has been used by athletes for years to prevent dehydration. Researchers theorize that glycerol functions like a kind of sponge, absorbing water in the bloodstream and keeping it there. When added to CarniTech, glycerol can keep you well-hydrated for those long cardio sessions. With CarniTech, you also get three additional herbal optimizers. Ginseng and guarana are natural stimulants which boost energy levels and reduce fatigue. The select ginseng includes 25 triterpenoid saponins (ginsenosides) including Rb-1 and Rg-1. These ginsenosides can also enhance oxygen uptake, boost brain function, and improve performance. Guarana can further help control excess water weight and maximize your ergogenic potential. Guarana, by increasing lipolysis, can alter endogenous energy supplies, thus boosting overall performance. White willow can alleviate some of the pain and inflammation associated with post-exercise trauma. Finally, green tea contains polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants (research now indicates that athletes are at risk for greater free radical damage than sedentary individuals, so the need for antioxidants are greater).

Pass the limes, salt and tequila please. I just passed the five year mark.
Does that come with a medallion of some kind or what?
After five years, you get your own bus
Personally, I'm getting kind of tired of the bus. Know how I can tell? I've got closing time-itis. The longer I'm on the bus, the better looking everyone is getting to be.
I don't know about a man...
Pass 'em down. How many on this bus anyway?
And snacks:
Had a couple if opportunities to get off the bus, but decided to stay on and enjoy the ride. Now starting to think that I need a bus-stop pretty soon.
"I Don't Suffer From Insanity, I Rather Enjoy It". Serge A Storms
I'll have some of the snacks please! And ice cream. Is there ice cream?
Where to Riders? What say you?
Cake, anyone?
edited to fix cake!

By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, May 25 -- Energy future prices rebounded in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange Monday, led by strong crude oil prices and spiraling natural gas futures prices.
Traders attributed disruption of some oil and natural gas supplies from the Gulf of Mexico for the higher NYMEX energy prices.
Shell Oil Co. Monday reported an "inadvertent shutdown" of the safety valves on the 250,000 b/d, 18-in. Mars oil pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico occurred on Saturday (OGJ Online, May 24, 2004). The pipeline extends about 40 miles from the Mars tension-leg platform to West Delta Block 143 in the gulf.
Consequently, the platform was shut. It had been producing 150,000 b/d of crude oil and 170 MMcfd of natural gas, the company said.
A Shell spokeswoman was unsure when the platform would resume operations (OGJ Online, May 24, 2004).
Energy prices
The new near-month July contract for benchmark US light, sweet crudes soared $1.79 to $41.72/bbl Monday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The August contract gained $1.68 to $41.24/bbl. On the US spot market, West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Okla., climbed $1.90 to $41.88/bbl.
Gasoline for June delivery gained 4.1¢ to $1.4578/gal Monday on NYMEX, while heating oil for the same month jumped by 5.26¢ to $1.05/gal.
The June natural gas contract jumped 35.2¢ to $6.705/Mcf. Enerfax Daily analysts said, "It was the highest for a front month since mid-January."
Natural gas futures rose on support from crude oil prices and a firmer cash market that was prompted by some warmer weather this week, they added.
In London, the July contract for North Sea Brent crude also settled sharply higher on the International Petroleum Exchange in line with the higher NYMEX oil prices. On Monday, IPE July Brent gained $1.66 to $38.17/bbl. The trading session's high was $38.20 and the low $36.00.
Gas oil for June delivery gained by $19.00 to $332.25/tonne, while the June natural gas contract rose 10¢ to the equivalent of $3.90/Mcf on IPE.
The average price for OPEC's basket of seven benchmark crudes gained 65¢ to $37.05/bbl Monday.

Hotel Kashrus On The Front Lines:
The Start Up
If the event is being catered by an off-site caterer, other strategies must be planned. What
Designing the set up for the event is of utmost importance. Where will the fish and meat be served at the smorgasbord? If there is bread at the carving table, is there a place provided for Netilas Yadayim? How about the bar? Are all the liquors, liqueurs and mixes approved? Will there be enough time to check all of these products before the event? Most critical of all: if a non-kosher event is going on at the same time, careful maneuvering must be mapped out so that both events will remain separate and equal. All too often, time is of the essence and important details may not be carried out in a timely manner. Good communication, understanding and preplanning are the key ingredients for success.
There is nothing worse than a misunderstanding, especially in the middle of an event. The best insurance policy to ensure that all of the plans are carried out is to have a hashgacha team comprised of well-trained professional mashgichim. The mashgiach is the liaison between kashrus and the kitchen. Today's professional mashgiach fills many roles and wears many hats, including that of policeman, advisor, teacher and diplomat. The mashgiach is the kashrus administrator's eyes and ears. He is the one who implements the standards of thecertifying agency.
Once the standards are set, the work begins. Depending upon the number of attendees, cooking may begin three days before the function. The first day is often setup day; cooks ascertain that the kitchen is in working order and that the raw ingredients meet their specifications. The mashgiach checks each product; if there are any questions, the certification's home office is consulted. Often, even with a competent purchasing department, food distributors may substitute comparable products if the brands that were ordered are out of stock. Of course, those substituted items may or may not be acceptable from a kashrus standpoint. Because purveying may occur two or three days before the actual function, there may still be time to re-order or even go to the store.
The Prep Up
The Mess Up
All too often, the mashgiach plays the role of diplomat, both in and out of the kitchen. If the hashgacha standard forbids bringing outside food or beverages into the event or simcha, it is the mashgiach's uncomfortable task of informing the baal simcha. For example, he cannot serve that particular expensive scotch for a l'chaim; the baalas simcha must remove boxed candy gifts from the table; and a guest cannot feed her baby yogurt at the dinner table

Does the Android app have persistent reminders?
Is there the option to remind for overdue tasks / have persistent reminders:
If I have a daily recurring task with a reminder for 5 p.m., if I clear the notification, but don't complete the task, will Todoist remind me in a few hours that I still haven't completed that task?
All responses
Hello Knope,
This depends on a couple of factors:
1. If it's a default "30 minutes before" reminder set automatically to every task that has a due time (such as "ev day at 5pm") then it may not remind you anymore once this time passes.
2. If you've added the reminder manually as an absolute reminder by typing <remind ev day at 5pm> within the task's name then it will occur regardless of the status of the task. You can add multiple reminders to one task, right-click on it on the web-app and go to the "Reminders" menu to add more.
3. If you're using Jelly Bean (Android 4.2), you'll have the option to "Snooze" a reminder in which case it will recur after a certain time that can be configured in the app's settings.
Best regards,
Can I request a feature to have an option to make reminders really persistent please. i.e. if the reminder hasn't been acknowledged after the snooze period, then ding and vibrate again.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider adding an option for this in the future. :-)

Google, LinkedIn, Facebook and Flickr all have something in common (and it isn't their fancy Californian offices). No, it's the vanity URL.
Earlier this year Google announced they'd allow Google profile users to specify the URL for their profile, just as Facebook released their vanity URLs around one month ago.
Facebook launched their vanity URLs at 00:01am on 13th June (that was 5:01am GMT), and yes, I was the lucky member of the UK MOO Crew awake at 5:01am GMT to register www.facebook.com/moocards for MOO. But what is all the fuss about?
For big brands it may have been the fear that the www.facebook.com/coca-cola URL could have been hijacked by a competitor, or by someone with an 'interesting' sense of humour.
Protecting your brand has become increasingly important in a world where an online identity is as important as a physical one. If you're not a big brand, it's still pretty important to register your vanity URL.
For some people, their Facebook page is the face of their business, their Flickr photostream is their online portfolio and their LinkedIn profile their virtual CV. With the ability to link each of these to each other, through a single URL you can create a single touch-point for your online ID.
Most people include their email address, their phone number (and sometimes) their physical address on their Business Cards. At some point though, most people change their email address, their phone number and (almost certainly) their physical address. With a static vanity URL you can point people to one place and change all the details on it… So why not include your vanity URL on your Business Cards?
Using MOO's 'text-o-matic' tools you could use your vanity URL to inspire your designs, or upload your own photos and include your URL on the reverse, just as you would with any other important detail. Here's a few I made earlier, using the text tools with Business Cards.
Those sites are all fine and dandy, but when can I get http://myname.moo.com to print on my cards?
