Beer. Mead. Cider. Each of these beverages have a number of things in common, but first and foremost: Yeast. This little microbe has so many tasty uses, we will gladly consume it's products.
The other thing these libations have in common is the time-consuming process… and the delicious results. This mostly-lecture class will discuss the history of beer, and then the finisher will be showing you the process on how YOU can make your own libations, and how you can use the insatiable appetite of yeast to your own purposes.
We will start a batch of a kit Hefeweisen, and talk about the history and process of making beer.
Hooray Beer!
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This class is 18+; NM Statute only restricts the manufacture of alcohol for sale, and the sale of alcohol to minors (21-). This generally is considered to mean that all adults can make alcohol in quantities suitable for personal consumption (aka 'culinary purposes'); YMMV.

I'm debating getting a fitbit flex. I've been looking for a while. I did initially want a jawbone up24 but at over £120 it's just silly money. However the fitbit has good reviews and comes in at half the price. Currently in argos at £10 off too.
Does anyone have one and do you find it complements SW? I'm really sedentary and would hope that it would shame me into moving a bit more so I can lose this last half a stone or so to hit target.

Kennedy hopes to discuss the financial impact of a last-minute amendment by Sen. Neil Riser, R-Columbia, with the Louisiana State Police retirement board within two weeks, in the meantime, he's conducting his own ...

These outfits are the most traditional and popular clothes to be worn by Asian women across the globe and as they come in so many different colours and designs there is plenty to keep everyone happy.The shalwar kameez is basically made up of three component parts. The first is the salwar, which refers to the loose, pyjama-like trousers that feature wide legs which taper towards the ankle. The kameez refers to the knee-length flowing shirt which can be worn on top of the salwar and which feature side seams to allow increased movement to the wearer. Finally the outfit is complemented by the dupatta the long scarf or shawl worn around the neck which can be used to cover the head during religious ceremonies or when paying respect to elders.As they are made from silk, chiffon or cotton and often feature delicate embroidery, salwar kameez should be worn with care and it is recommended that they are dry cleaned due to their fragile nature. If you are in doubt then it is best to ask your outfit supplier as to what they recommend for cleaning these garments.These outfits are available in a wide range of colours and designs, both as complete outfits and separates but if you cannot find what you are looking for in the stores along your high street you might like to consider buying online where you can take advantage of increased product ranges, great prices and free UK delivery.You can browse online in your own time to decide which shalwar kameez to purchase and then these items will be delivered to you within a couple of working days, ready for you to wear and enjoy.

OMAHA, Neb. - The recent drop in consumer spending and the resulting pressure on retailing, manufacturing and services industries could last "quite a long time," Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett said Saturday.
"I think our retail businesses will not do well for some time" as U.S. consumers save more, Buffett told investors at the company's annual shareholders meeting. "I would not look for any quick rebound in retail, manufacturing and services businesses."
Buffett is well placed to gauge the health of the economy because Berkshire owns 67 non-insurance operating companies and many of these businesses are in economically sensitive industries such as retailing, manufacturing and real estate. More at MarketWatch.com.

The Lost Tribes of Israel
The conflict between Israel and Judea has turned violent yet again. If you have never read anything by Zeev Sternhell, who escaped with his life yet again, start with this interview.
7 comments:
All attacks like this do is strengthen the extreme Left. Whoever did this should be locked up and they should throw away the key.
The Left in Israel has a long history of using supposed violence of the Right in order to get the Left to "close ranks" and "rally around the party". This was first used in 1933 when MAPAI leader Chaim Arolosoroff was murdered by Arabs on the Tel Aviv beach. Ben-Gurion and others decided it would help in upcoming elections to blame the right-wing Revisionist Zionist opposition so they blamed them for the murder, and indeed, some Revisionists were arrested and charged with the murder. They were all later cleared of the charges, but B-G used the false accusations to whip up a hysteria against the Revisionists, and it worked, MAPAI won the election. The Left decided to use this same weapon...blame the "Right" and assign "collective guilt" to the entire movement.
As late as the 1977 elections the Labor Party was stills saying "They (the Likud) killed Arlosoroff". Fortunately the Israeli public had grown up in the intervening years and learned to think for itself. The Left during the beginning of the Oslo process, still imprisoned by ancient thinking, decided they needed to stir up some "right-wing" violence themselves, since the "right" wasn't providing the Left with violence that could be used in pro-Oslo propaganda, so the SHABAK set up a agent provocateur named Avishai Raviv and had him carry out provocations including assaults on Arabs and Leftist figures such as HADASH MK Tamar Goshansky. The Left kept saying "do you see what they are like..they are all terrorists!", even though it was a government provocateur that was doing these things. Rabin's assassin Yigal Amir was a very close associate of Raviv before the assassination (this is documented in the official state Shamgar Commission Inquiry into the Rabin Assassination). In any event, in spite of the hysteria that Rabin's assassination generated against the Right, the Left lost the national election held a few months after the assassination, so that which worked in 1933, did not work in 1996 and won't work today.
Yes, there has been violence by a handful of "Right-wingers". There is no justification for it and it should be dealth with by the authorities with a firm hand. But attempts to attach collective guilt on people like Dr Avishai's mythical "Judeans" (who he claims are not "real Israelis" like his secular elites supposedly are) will not work. Israelis know the situation, the Left today is a shrinking minority in Israel and pathetic attempts to use criminal acts like this to tar entire movements just won't work, as much as many "progressives" would like them to. Every week there are violent demostrations by the Left against building the separation fence with numerous casualties among the security forces, yet no one on the "right" goes around saying the "Left" bears collective guilt for what some Leftist hoodlums do. It is time the Israeli Left grow up.
- September 26, 2008 at 1:39 AM
Dr Avishai, in his postings here, is continually finding ways to thwart the will of the majority of Israelis who oppose the views of the Left which he propounds. One was is his suggestion to make the "Hebrew Republic" which proposes to break the "Jewish" consensus in Israel and to form an alliance of the "elites" (primarily secular Ashkenazim) and the Arabs (the Arabs have always rejected this, but Dr Avishai keeps trying). The second is his proposal that the US come in and some how "force" the "elites" to declare war on the "Judeans" (i.e. the majority of the Jewish population which is Zionist, center-right politically and either Orthodox or traditionalist in religious orientation) and use force to suppress them.
Well, here is an excerpt of a column by Evelyn Gordon in the Jerusalem Post pointing out that disenfrachisement of the Right is playing with fire (as we may have seen with the attack on Sternell):
Civil Fights: Why violence has replaced democracy
Sep. 24, 2008
Evelyn Gordon , THE JERUSALEM POST
There has been a spate of attacks by settlers on both soldiers and Palestinians recently. This is not random violence, but calculated policy: The goal, activists say, is to "exact a price" whenever part of a settlement or outpost is dismantled, in the hope of persuading the authorities that dismantling settlements is not worth the cost.
While only a minority of settlers supports this tactic, the number is growing, and defense officials believe the violence will only escalate.
This is something no society can tolerate, and better law enforcement is clearly part of the necessary response. Yet law enforcement alone cannot solve the underlying problem ¬ which is that growing numbers of settlers have justifiably concluded that democratic action is pointless, leaving violence as the only rational option.
IF THAT sounds outrageous, consider the following: In 1993, the Knesset approved the Oslo Accords, even though Yitzhak Rabin won election promising no negotiations with the PLO. But the ensuing surge in terror disillusioned many Oslo supporters, thus rightists saw a real chance of defeating Oslo 2 in 1995. So they did exactly what good democrats are supposed to do: They lobbied Shas and Labor MKs, and succeeded in garnering enough votes for victory - until Rabin, thumbing his nose at the rules, openly bought two MKs elected on a far-right slate, thereby securing a 61-59 majority. And since the offered bribe (a ministry and deputy ministry, with all attendant financial benefits) was illegal at the time, he then used his newly purchased majority to amend the law so he could pay up.
Worse, this perversion of democracy enjoyed monolithic support from journalists, leftist MKs, academics and other self-proclaimed champions of the rule of law. The lesson was obvious: Playing by the democratic rules is pointless, because the other side has no qualms about scrapping them whenever they prove inconvenient.
It is no accident that the worst incident of political violence in Israel's history, Rabin's assassination, occurred a mere month later. If democratic alternatives are blocked, violence becomes the only recourse. And someone will inevitably take it.
FAST FORWARD to the 2003 election, when Labor championed a unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and the Likud's Ariel Sharon campaigned against this idea. Again, rightists did what good democrats are supposed to do: They threw themselves into electing Sharon. And they succeeded: The Likud won by a landslide. Yet 11 months later, Sharon U-turned and adopted Labor's platform.
Nevertheless, he offered a democratic escape route: an internal party referendum. So rightists again did what good democrats are supposed to do: They canvassed door-to-door among Likud members.
And they won again: Though polls predicted an easy victory for Sharon, his plan lost by a 60-40 margin.
But Sharon ignored his party's verdict, despite having pledged to honor it. He also refused to submit his plan to any broader democratic test ¬new elections or a national referendum. And of course, these decisions were cheered by the left's self-proclaimed champions of democracy.
Thus the right won two democratic victories, the 2003 election and the Likud referendum, only to see both prove worthless.
Once again, the lesson was clear: Playing by the democratic rules is pointless.
After Sharon junked the referendum results, rightists protested by blocking roads around the country. That, while illegal, is a time-honored Israeli tradition. The Histadrut, for instance, blocked roads nationwide for months to protest the emergency economic program in 2003; disabled activists demanding increased funding once paralyzed the entire capital by blocking major roads. Yet neither union activists nor the disabled were ever arrested.
Anti-disengagement protesters, however, were arrested in droves, and routinely jailed for lengthy periods. Here, too, the lesson was clear: Rightists will be jailed for using tactics that other protesters can use with impunity. In short, democracy is not a level field, so playing on it is pointless.

No wonder that at the time to make it public for the first time, these replica Tag Heuer uk have become a foot without prejudice that remains unchanged, even though the introduction of new technologies and a greater number of many competitors. Also, if you prefer to use in indoor activities, it would be great too.

HELLO! – watch more funny videos
I used to watch Dominic Joly on Trigger Happy TV all the time and I always found his obnoxious stunts to be rather funny. It's been a long while since I've seen him in anything and it's comforting to know that he's still doing skits where he talks very loud into a cellphone in public. Here he is talking into the iPad (which isn't even a phone, really).

St Lucia South Africa
St Lucia South Africa
South Africa's first world heritage site was proclaimed in 1999. The area known as iSimangaliso Wetland Park starts from the South (St Lucia) and extends to the border of Mozambique in the North. An enormous area with varying ecosystems and Biospheres. St Lucia itself remains a wildlife paradise, with Hippo's still roaming the streets at night, one can also hear the call's of Bush Babies and sightings of Leopards still occur.
Small in size the village has an approximate population of 500 residents, 800 Hippo's and 1200 Nile Crocodiles that call this home. St Lucia previously known as a fishing destination has transformed itself and today has fast become a top tourist destination for both local and international travellers.
Surrounded by water St Lucia may almost be called a island, with the St Lucia Estuary bordering the western side of the town and the Indian Ocean on the eastern side of the town. The Estuary is home to Hippo's that frequent the streets at night in search of greener pastures and Nile Crocodiles that may be observed basking in the sun. The Indian Ocean offers one sightings of Humpback Whales as they migrate past the shores from mid June to end November and then Logger head and leather back turtles return to lay their eggs from November to end March. Walking trails border the town where one may come across Red Duiker, Mongoose, Vervet Monkeys and lots more. With an estimated 450 species of birds seen during the year it makes for some magnificent birding.
Various Activities and Safaris are available daily from St Lucia travelling to the oldest proclaimed game reserve in Africa Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve a mere 54 km away. Night drive safaris, day tours to Cape Vidal, Hippo & Croc boat cruises departing daily and so much.

I've lived in Pennsylvania, New York, Washington and in several California communities and sojourned in France, Italy and Mexico. I once lived in Ojai, in an area called "The Arbolada," which means "groves of oaks." I've lived on an island thick with cedars and firs. In none of those varied locales did anyone cling to the leaf blower as a necessity of life. In fact, I can't remember ever hearing one.
Sonoma is the only place I've ever lived where the residents seem to be at war with nature.
How goes the battle? The mercenaries have the upper hand. They fire at will. They chase down leaves and raise dust with the force of a category five hurricane. The rest of us are considered collateral damage, if we are considered at all.
Covering my nose and mouth with a white flag, I've approached them and asked if what they are doing makes sense to them. Invariably they will smile and admit that it doesn't, but it is, after all, their job. I ask them to try a rake, just for the fun of it. They laugh and say they have only so much time. I tell them I can rake it better and faster than they can blow it. They laugh again but don't disagree.
I've tried talking to their employers, but that didn't go well.
Until coming to Sonoma 14 years ago, I've never lived in a place where three leaves on a driveway constitute a personal affront, where clouds of toxic dust and the annoying revving of two-stroke engines spewing raw gasoline into the air are thought of as acceptable hazards in the quest for a spotless gutter.
This is clearly a war of preference, not necessity. Do civilians desirous of peace and quiet and clean air just have to put up with it?
Apparently not. Beverly Hills and Carmel sued for peace 38 years ago. Since then, cities across the state — Walnut Creek, Mill Valley, Santa Monica, Ojai, Berkeley and others — have done likewise. How? By the simple expedient of outlawing the big guns. They discovered what was already there: alternatives.
But what of those three leaves on the driveway, or those leaves hiding in the hedges? What if you can't chase them down without heavy artillery? D?ente.
Given a chance, leaves on the ground will come to appear, well, natural. When there are too many of them, you can rake them into a pile, or hire a "green landscaper," currently a rarity around here, to do it for you.

Tracking the Immune System
Page 2 of 2
Witte's team also attached a radiolabel to the probe that, during a PET scan, glows when it enters a cell. The team then tested the probe in mice. Researchers first injected mice with an oncogenic virus, which caused a tumor to develop. This particular tumor is immunogenic, meaning that the immune system easily recognizes it and quickly attacks. After the virus injection, the team then injected the probe and performed PET scans.
"It's basically like a heat map, and if there's a lot of immune cells, it's red; if less, green; and even less, blue," says Radu. "It looks spectacular. You can see a three-dimensional image of this mouse, and see these draining lymph nodes, which are close to the tumor, and just see them lighting up."
The team was able to track the immune response as the tumor developed, and it saw that the areas around the tumor lit up the most after 10 to 14 days, a typical length of time in which an immune response can clear an infection.
Radu says that in the future, clinicians may be able to use this new PET probe to image immune responses, in addition to using other techniques, such as CT scans, that can image tumors. In combination, these techniques may enable doctors to watch a tumor shrink as the body's immune system attacks so that they can determine the effectiveness of different therapies.
Ronald Germain, deputy chief of the immunology laboratory at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says that while the group's images are impressive, it is still not completely clear whether cells other than immune cells are being imaged–an effect that could create an imprecise picture.
"It's not a completely specific probe, so you're not going to tell what type of cell is present at a site, which can be very important in making a diagnosis going forward," says Germain. "However, there is a real need to develop ways to assess immune responses without having to do biopsies, and this is one of several approaches that could be used."
The researchers are now looking to develop a more specific probe, in addition to their general imaging probe. Radu and his colleagues are systematically examining chemical structures to find others that resemble gemcitabine. The team plans to test these compounds against each other to see which may have greater sensitivity and specificity for detecting certain kinds of immune cells.

The UL Ragin' Cajun Softball team started the season off with a split in day one at the Houston Hilton Classic on the University of Houston campus.
The Cajuns topped Lipscomb 5-2, before falling to Iowa in a high scoring affair, 13-10.
The Cajuns and Hawkeyes will be back on the diamond this morning with first pitch scheduled for 11:30 a.m. The Cajuns next home game will be Wednesday at Lamson Park when they take on Mississippi State at 6 p.m.
The Cajuns didn't take long to get on the scoreboard as Nerissa Myers, who hit .436 with 13 home runs and 79 RBIs last year to earn third team All-America honors, led off the bottom of the first by lining a 3-1 pitch over the wall in left center to put UL ahead, 1-0.
Myers keyed a three-run Cajuns second inning by singling home Samantha Walsh. Brianna Cherry followed with a two-run double that scored both Natalie Fernandez and Myers to put UL ahead, 4-0.
Jordan Wallace earned the start and cruised through four innings, striking out eight and allowing three hits, including a solo home run that fell just inside the foul pole in left field by Haley Elliott with two outs in the fourth.
UL made it 5-1 in the fifth. Sara Corbello led off with a walk and Leandra Maly ran for her, coming around to score on a double off the wall by Shellie Landry,
Wallace gave way to freshman Victoria Brown to start the fifth and the freshman went the final three innings to pick up the save. Brown retired the first seven batters she saw before allowing one unearned run on two hits.
The 9-1-2 slots in the batting order of Fernandez, Myers and Cherry led the way for the Cajuns offensively, each with two hits on the game, and Myers and Cherry each drove in two runs. Fernandez also had a two hit night, both singles, extending her streak to 109 consecutive singles.
Game two had a much different tone to it, with both teams getting on the board early and often. After getting runners on base in every inning, the Cajuns failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position, leaving 13 runners on base. The Hawkeyes scored in five of the seven innings, with the Cajuns responding each inning with runs, but never winning an inning.
Sarah Draheim, Sara Corbello and Matte Haack highlighted the Cajuns offense in game two, driving in seven of the Cajuns 10 runs. Haack had an RBI single in the fifth and a two-RBI single in the sixth, Sara Corbello drove in two runs with a two run double in the fourth, and Draheim had an RBI single in the first and a solo home run to lead off the third inning. Myers, Landry and Samantha Walsh would also drive in runs for the Cajuns.
Kristin Martinez got the start for the Cajuns, pitching 2.1 innings before yielding to Christina Hamilton and Brown out of the bullpen. Martinez would return to the game in the sixth inning and finish it without allowing a runner on base.
Her final line on the day would be 4.0 innings, allowing six runs, three earned on five hits and one walk while fanning three batters. Christina Hamilton tossed 0.2 innings, allowing an unearned run in and striking out one, and Victoria Brown tossed 2.1 innings allowing six runs, all earned on six hits and one walk while fanning two.

Nonlinear optics of molecular nanostructures in solution: Assessment of the size and nonlinear optical properties
Shcheslavskiy, Vladislav I., Saltiel, Solomon M., Ivanov, Denis A., Ivanov, Anatolii A., Petrusevich, Vladislav Y., Petrov, Georgi I. and Yakovlev, Vladislav V. (2006) Nonlinear optics of molecular nanostructures in solution: Assessment of the size and nonlinear optical properties. Chemical Physics Letters, 429, (1-3), 294-298. (doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2006.07.071).
Full text not available from this repository.
Most of the known self-assembly processes occur in solution, where nanosized objects interact each other forming new structures. Their real-time characterization in terms of the size and optical properties of these objects is vital for understanding those interactions. We report a novel application of nonlinear optics to study molecular structures and assemblies. By measuring the power of the third harmonic generated in a solution of nanoparticles, we determined both the size and the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of those nanoparticles. The newly developed technique was successfully employed to observe the structural organization of collagen (type I) molecules in solution.

Chief: Police force battles increased challenges
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Officers are "treading water" when it comes to responding to crime calls, and it's not because of the oil field, San Angelo Police Chief Tim Vasquez said.
"I would say that the crime rate is affected by the increase in population," he said. "Not all people who work in the oil field are bad people."
"When you bring that many people at one time you're going to see increases in crime. When you see that much money coming into our community you're going to see increases in crime. It's based on a lot of different things."
Vasquez spoke to about 170 people Tuesday at the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce's February luncheon, touching on the city's growth, crime statistics and how the department is reacting.
He showed slides citing that the overall crime rates decreased by 47.8 percent from 2003 until 2012. In 2013 they climbed 4.1 percent.
"I can tell you that the men and women of our organization are very well aware of that increase," he said. "They're taking it personally. They're doing all they can to battle that and continue to bring it back down."
Vasquez said methamphetamine and marijuana are still the most prevalent drugs in San Angelo, but officers have seen an increase in heroin arrests. Usually they make one or two a year, but in 2013 officers made four or five arrests.
He illustrated property crime by asking people to raise their hands if they had been burglarized.
Chamber President Phil Neighbors said hearing from the chief reiterated personal accountability when it comes to crime prevention — locking car doors, hiding belongings and making sure businesses have adequate security lighting, good locks and, in some cases, surveillance cameras.
"The more we do to prevent crime, the less we'll be a victim of it," Neighbors said.
"I think he did a good job of talking about the present and the future and anticipating growth."
When Vasquez took questions, the first one came from someone who wasn't playing "devil's advocate" but wanted to know about the department's operating budget. The attendee also asked whether Vasquez had a slide showing the salary levels agreed on in the last meet-and-confer session.
The meet-and-confer process allows police and the city to reach agreements on important employment issues. SAPD is seeking pay raises to improve officer retention and recruitment.
Vasquez said the total budget in 2003 was $9.9 million, and it now sits at $15.2 million. Ten years ago the operational budget made up 13 percent of the department's total budget, and now it's less than 10 percent. He ventured to say salaries across the city became a bigger part of the budget during that time.
"We always notice in the Q-and-A section is that there are business people and community people who are really thinking about whatever the topic is," Neighbors said. "Policing is like anything else — it has to run off a budget and it has to have cash flow. You could tell the chief had great interest and concern that it continues to happen in a productive way."
Pam Dutton said she thinks Vasquez does a "fantastic" job managing his department and keeping the public informed about what's going on.
In his presentation Vasquez said the department puts out more than 100 news releases a year — many about drug arrests. A majority of drug seizures occur during traffic stops, he said.
Dutton, who works in state Sen. Robert Duncan's office, also has been a business owner and knows the value of monitoring crime trends in her community.
As someone who has taught in a classroom for 31 years, she said it's important to have experienced people working for an organization. She sided with Vasquez when he brought up meet-and-confer negotiations.
Vasquez said he has assisted both the city and police union in the past and has stayed neutral, but he feels he needs to side with the officers during this last round of negotiations.
"Retention affects my ability to do the job that you elected me to do," he said.
City officials and officers look at retention rates differently, he said, with the city basing those rates on the past three years and the officers looking back to 2003. Vasquez said most of the officers who fall in the city's three-year category are still under contract and are not marketable because of their lack of experience.
"When you look at where we were over the last 10 years, the number that we keep is about 40 percent," he said.
Several officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths were investigated over the past several years. Vasquez said he would like to see a "stable and experienced workforce" handling calls.
"I agree with Chief Vasquez," Dutton said. "I think if we can't retain good police officers here we're always starting over, always starting over training people."

Timberwolves and Raptors Have Inquired About Trading for Pau Gasol
by Robert Littal | Posted on Thursday, December 6th, 2012
If and when the Lakers trade Pau Gasol they are probably going to get the better of the deal. They are being prudent and taking their time before pulling the trigger.
According to ESPN the Timberwolves and Raptors have already reached out to the Lakers, but the Lakers want to see how their squad does when they are fully healthy. The Raptors players that would be involved are Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon and Linas Kleiza
It is hard to access how good or bad the Lakers are until Steve Nash is back on the court and no one knows when that will happen.

Hasek & Elias Done At the Olympics
Czech Republic star goalie Dominik Hasek is out of the Olympics with an injury that occurred minutes into his first game in Torino. Hasek originally said it was a hamstring injury. But Czech backup goalie Tomas Vokoun later said Hasek told him it was a groin injury.
The Czechs got more bad news: forward Patrik Elias also is out for the rest of the games with bruised ribs sustained in a 3-2 upset loss Thursday to Switzerland. Elias was a late replacement for New York Rangers rookie Petr Prucha, who pulled out because of a knee injury.
Elias is expected to be replaced by Ales Kotalik, who has 21 goals and 23 assists for a team-high 44 points in 56 games with the Buffalo Sabres. Hasek's replacement will be Dusan Salficky, a 2001 New York Islanders draft pick who has played since 2002 in the Russian Hockey League.
The loss of Hasek shouldn't hurt the Czech's pursuit of a gold medal much. Tomas Vokoun from Nashville is a very capable "backup," through the course of the year he put up very similar numbers to that of Hasek. Elias on the otherhand I think is a little bit of a loss. The guy has been hot since coming back to the NHL after his bout with Hepatitis A. Czech's were suppose to battle for the gold, that road has just gotten a little bit harder.

Spring rolls are among the tastiest at-home treats that you can make yourself, and with Chinese New Year coming fast, cooking them with family could be a fun holiday activity. Below is a recipe for Chinese spring rolls with pork (minimum of 50 rolls).
According to Steamy Kitchen,Wei-Chuan is the best wrapper brand for spring rolls. Some people try to use pasta noodles, but they are too thick and won't fry properly when placed in hot oil (the final step). When putting the filling into the wrapper, be sure only to dole out a heaping tablespoon or less. More will cause the wrapper to get soggy, and it will prevent the spring roll from becoming crispy.
The filling consists of meat and vegetables. For the meat, you will need 1 pound ground pork, 1 tablespoon (tbsp) soy sauce, 1 teaspoon (tsp) cornstarch, 1/4 tsp sugar and freshly ground black peppers. For the vegetables, you will require a few cloves of finely minced garlic, 1/2 head of cabbage,three shredded carrots, 10 shiitake mushrooms, 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tbsp rice wine, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp of grated fresh ginger.
Make some spring rolls
The ingredients list may go on, but the process of making spring rolls is fairly simple. After mixing the ingredients for the ground pork in a bowl, let themmarinate for 10 minutes. In the meantime, slice mushrooms, carrots and cabbage into small strips or use a food processor for easy shredding. Squeeze out any excess juices into paper towel.
Heat a wok or saute pan at high temperature and stir-fry the pork for two minutes. Add the vegetables, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another minute.
Dump out your finished filling and put no more than a heaping tablespoon near one corner of a wrapper. Fold until the corner covers the contents of the roll and pull taught until the roll is tight. Fold the adjacent sides over the middle, tighten again, and continue rolling. To get a more visual description of this process, there are several good YouTube videos available.
Fill a pot with two inches of cooking oil and heat to 375 F. Place rolls in the hot oil using tongs or a spider strainerto avoid getting hit by splatters of oil. Turn them occasionally with a metal tong and remove after about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool, and you will have delicious egg rolls ready to eat.

The development and validation of a HPLC method to follow the degradation of phenol by electrochemical or photoelectrochemical treatment are described. This method, which allows determining amounts of phenol, p-benzoquinone and cathecol in electrolyzed or photoelectrolyzed solutions, was used for analysis of reaction intermediates during electrooxidation or photoelectrooxidation of phenol using a Ti-Pt/PbO2 (obtained by thermal-electrochemical or electrodeposition methods) or Ti/TiO2 doped with Ga3+ (obtained by thermal decomposition of precursor salts) electrode.

William of Scituate may have come to America as early as 1633, but, if so, he went home, and in 1635, brought, in the "Hercules," from Sandwich in Kent, England, his wife Jane, five children, and six servants as is shown in History of Sandwich, England.
William was the first ruling Elder of the 2nd church founded in 1644 for Wm. Witherell, after long agitations, following the removal of Lothrop to Barnstable. (Source: Savage Genealogical Dictionary).
About 1634 William Hatch and his family removed from Wye to Sandwich, co. Kent, The statement that he was at Scituate in the Plymouth Colony in 1633 is incorrect, and is due to the assumption that the date after the names of the assistants in the records applied to all the names following.
He embarked for America for the first time in Mar. 1634/5, sailing from Sandwich in the ship Hercules with his wife Jane, five children, and six servants. In the same ship. sailed his cousin, Lydia (Huckstep) Tilden (7,i,7), with her husband, Nathaniel Tilden, and their children.
William Hatch and his family settled at Scituate, where he built a house on Kent Street and was admitted freeman on 5 Jan. 1635/6. He returned to England, but came back to New England in Apr. 1638, in the ship Castle. It is probable that his brother Thomas (10) with his wife and children and his sister Elizabeth Soan (12) with her son William came with him on this voyage.
In 1643 William Hatch was chosen the first ruling elder of the Second Church of Scituate, and in August of that year he with his sons Walter and John appears on the list of those in Scituate able to bear arms (that is, they were between 16 and 60 years of age. In the same year also he was lieutenant of the trainband.
He settled in the part of Scituate called "The Two Miles," which was joined to Marshfield in 1788; and the house which he bilt there is still standing and is the residence of Israel H. Hatch, his descendant. A will of Walter Hatch, dated 3 Mar. 1681/2 and signed 4 Mar. 1681/2, was never proved; for after this will was made his son Anitpas became of unsound mind, and his father made a new will, providing for the maintenance of Anitpas but leaving to his brothers the land formerly intended for him. This second will was proved.

Abnormal activation of endochondral bone formation in soft tissues causes significant medical diseases associated with disability and pain. Hyperactive mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type 1 receptor ACVR1 lead to fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive ossification in soft tissues. However, the specific cellular mechanisms are unclear. In addition, the difficulty obtaining tissue samples from FOP patients and the limitations in mouse models of FOP hamper our ability to dissect the pathogenesis of FOP.
To address these challenges and develop a "disease model in a dish", we created human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) derived from normal and FOP dermal fibroblasts by two separate methods, retroviral integration or integration-free episomal vectors. We tested if the ability to contribute to different steps of endochondral bone formation was different in FOP vs. control iPS cells.
Remarkably, FOP iPS cells showed increased mineralization and enhanced chondrogenesis in vitro. The mineralization phenotypes could be suppressed with a small-molecule inhibitor of BMP signaling, DMH1. Our results indicate that the FOP ACVR1 R206H mutation favors chondrogenesis and increases mineral deposition in vitro.
Our findings establish a FOP disease cell model for in vitro experimentation and provide a proof-of-concept for using human iPS cell models to understand human skeletal disorders.

Joint Mediation Helpline Office
Press Release
Successful Completion of the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance Pilot Mediation Scheme
The Joint Mediation Helpline Office (JMHO) today (8 October) announced that the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance Pilot Mediation Scheme (PMS) administered by the JMHO was successfully completed.
With the financial support of the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government, the PMS was launched in 2011 with a view to provide mediation services to assist property owners to resolve disputes involving applications for compulsory sale of land that have been filed or were intended to be filed to the Lands Tribunal.
As at 30 June 2014, JMHO has received 211 enquiries and 52 applications under the PMS, involving 23 lots of property and a total of 115 property owners. Out of 52 applications, 18 cases were settled through direct negotiation after entering into PMS and 26 cases proceeded to mediation. Amongst them, 16 cases were settled at the mediation session. The overall success rate of PMS is around 70%.
"We are glad to see the relatively high success rate achieved. We are pleased that the PMS has proven to be a historical milestone for similar types of pilot mediation schemes in Hong Kong. We feel truly grateful for the support received from the Development Bureau, the participating mediators and all others involved in the PMS throughout the past years in making this scheme a success," Mr. Antony MAN, Chairman of JMHO, said.
Mr. CHAN Bing Woon, Honorary Advisor of JMHO, said, "The PMS has successfully achieved its objective. The introduction of the PMS provided owners involved in land compulsory sales cases to resolve their disputes by reaching an agreement acceptable to them through the facilitation of an impartial third party during mediation."

The NCAA Committee on Infractions has released its findings from the organization's investigation into Tennessee athletics and former Volunteer head coach Lane Kiffin. And as reported yesterday, neither Kiffin nor the Tennessee football program will face any additional sanctions as a result of the investigation.
But that doesn't mean either Kiffin or the Vols didn't draw the notice of the COI. The report had this to say:
While the investigation included allegations of major violations in the football program, the committee concluded that the evidence was insufficient to support findings of major violations.
However, the committee stated it was "troubled by the number and nature of the secondary infractions by the football coaching staff during its one-year tenure at the institution."
The football staff committed 12 secondary violations over 10 months, all of which were related to recruiting.
The full public report from the COI added this condemnation as well:
Some of the violations received nationwide publicity and brought the football program into public controversy. This is not a record of which to be proud.
Clearly, the COI is not a happy body when it comes to Kiffin's tenure in Knoxville. But without the major violation to hang its punishin' hat on, apparently sanctions weren't an option. For a breakdown of some of the violations contained in the report, check our Tennessee RapidReports. (We were under the impression that suspensions were now on the table for serial secondary violators, but perhaps not.)
So happy body or not, it's nothing but good news for Kiffin, who had this to say: "I'm pleased that the NCAA based its decision on the facts and not on perception."
As for the perception the NCAA has lost its teeth since the USC penalties, however, expect that one to be as pervasive as ever.

Wow, questions don't get much easier than this! Phonsavanh to LP on the big public bus takes about 7 - 8 hours depending on the number of flat tires. A minivan cuts about 1-1.5 hours off this depending how daring the driver is and whether you want lunch on the way.

I have to admit that I looked a gift-horse in the mouth when Anna gave it to me, It looked so miserable and muddy in its pot. But I've realized since that it's a real treasure, It's bloomed through the winter for two years now

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CONYERS -- Rockdale County Fire and Rescue officials are assuring residents smoke alarms they received through the department's Smoke Alarm Program are not included in the recent counterfeit smoke alarm recall by the city of Atlanta.
A statement released by the Rockdale County government said the smoke alarms distributed by the Fire and Rescue Department are FireX and Kidde brand alarms. The statement said Fire and Rescue "reassures residents of the county that the alarms are legitimate and are not being recalled."
Sharon Webb, Rockdale County's fire educator, said her department has received numerous calls from residents following media coverage of Atlanta's smoke alarm recall.
Rockdale Fire and Rescue offers a free home inspection program for residents age 60 and over and provides a smoke alarm free of charge.
Rockdale's smoke alarm program has distributed hundreds of smoke alarms to residents at no charge and is deemed a success in providing the extra seconds needed for escape in the event of a fire.
Concern over the smoke alarms arose after news reports last month of findings in an FBI investigation of counterfeit inspection labels on smoke alarms distributed through Atlanta's Smoke Alarm Program.
The federal investigation led Atlanta fire officials to recall all photoelectric smoke alarms distributed through their smoke alarm program.
The federal investigation stems from the discovery of smoke alarms that had counterfeit Underwriters Laboratories labels. Since the smoke alarms were not evaluated to UL's safety requirements for smoke alarms they were never authorized to bear the UL mark, according to a press release from the Atlanta Fire Department.
The smoke alarms being recalled in Atlanta were purchased from Silver Sails Inc., a vendor based in Calabasas, Calif. Atlanta Fire and Rescue has a recall hotline, 404-546-2733, and email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Webb encourages residents to have working smoke detectors in their homes. For more information, call Webb at 770-278-8453, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This program has a strong record with student retention and success at many schools nationwide, and in fact, the OnCourse text is currently used in Skyline College's Counseling 100 classes.

According to evaluations from Skyline participants at the last workshop, it also was a rejuvenating and at time inspirational learning experience. Visit OnCourse for more information.
