The fall harvest in the Pacific Northwest yields a healthy and delicious bounty of grains, fruits and vegetables for hungry consumers in the United States and around the globe.
When you consider the value of the agriculture production for the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho (three states Sprague Pest Solutions services) rises close to the $50 billion mark annually, you are talking about some serious amounts of potatoes, grapes, wheat, and apples!
As growers harvest Washington pears and hops, and Oregon vintners select grapes from the Willamette Valley for their next spectacular pinot noir, the Sprague Pest Experts are hard at work protecting the region's food and agriculture industry from insects and other pests whose intentions are less than honorable.
The fall season is when opportunistic pests start their annual trek in from the fields and orchards to find winter shelter in structures – warehouses, processing facilities and transportation centers – and within the commodities making their way to food processors, local grocery stores and eventually dinner tables around the world.
From fruit flies who find onions and potatoes (among other fruit and vegetable varieties) attractive to the highly destructive Asian long-horned beetle that devours grain crops such as wheat, seed and hops, pests follow the food chain wherever it may lead.
Agriculture and food industry professionals also must deal with rats and mice that that can spoil processed food and commodities with the urine and droppings they leave behind. The Japanese beetle is another invasive fall pest that eats away at cherries, berries, hops, grapes and pears.
And while spiders actually provide a benefit to the food and agriculture industry by eating harmful insects that damage or spoil food and commodities, they aren't always keen on human interaction. Spiders prefer to live in dark, undisturbed and cluttered areas and the food and agriculture industry offers plenty of that type of real estate!
The problem is for workers in the warehouses or processing facilities who encounter these sometimes venomous pests while unloading boxes and pallets (a common means of transportation for pests of all kinds) that arrive in droves every day during the harvest.
In the state of Washington black widow and hobo spiders are both venomous pests whose bite can cause rashes, headaches, fever, chills and difficulty breathing.
What can food and agriculture industry professionals do to protect themselves from "harvesting" unwanted pests in their facilities? The name of the game is prevention and here are two key recommendations from the Sprague Pest Experts:
Make sure your facility's physical plant is inspected frequently and any structural deficiencies – torn window and door screens, broken vent openings, cracks and openings in the foundation, loose weather stripping around doors, standing water, etc. – are fixed. Pests are opportunists and will use these deficiencies to enter the structure.
Conduct thorough inspections of the processed food and raw commodities entering your facility. This is the No. 1 way pests enter a facility so inspecting shipping crates, pallets and boxes closely for pests and properly disposing of the packing materials is important.
Sprague is always available to answer your questions on how to prevent pests from becoming a problem in food or agriculture facilities. Feel free to send us an e-mail at email@example.com with your comments or questions. We'll be happy to get back with you with an answer.
Until we chat again, remember Sprague is your solution for pests.

Baby names in 2012 promise revolutionary new directions in the continuing and escalating search for meaning coupled with originality. That can be a hard bill to fill when it comes to baby names, pushing parents in 2012 to look to some fresh sources and create names that have never been heard before.
Every year, it seems, people become more aware of the power of names. And yet names are still free and universal, which increases the pressure to find that one perfect name that defines and encapsulates all your hopes and dreams for your child.
In the high stakes game of Baby Names 2012, then, here's what Nameberry sees as the 12 hottest trends:
Mariah Carey did it perfectly when she named her daughter Monroe, a name that honored her heroine Marilyn Monroe in a distinctly modern, non-Blonde Bombshell way. Such surname names may honor heroes real or fictional, contemporary or historic, from the arts, sports, or the world stage, and work for girls as well as boys. Other choices we've been hearing: Landry (as in football coach Tom), Gatsby (as in fictional hero The Great), and Palin (yes, as in her).
Popular names get popular for a reason: They capture the style of the times and they're well-liked by a wide range of parents. Yet as the horror of choosing a too-popular name grows, parents search for ways to create names that are similar to the top choices yet different, a trend we see expanding in several directions. So Number 1 girls' name Isabella gives rise to stylistically-related choices Arabella and Annabelle; Olivia, the top name in Britain, spawns spelling variation Alivia; Emma and Emily promote brother name Emmett.
Our frightening times seem to have inspired many parents to give their sons names that make them seem equally fearsome. There are fierce animal names such as Bear, Fox, Wolf, Lynx and a range of names from Leo to Lionel that mean lion, and then there are the perhaps-even-fiercer names like Breaker, Ranger, and Wilder.
....and North and East and Easton too, but especially West and Weston and Wesley, along with Western-sounding names fit for a new generation of 'lil cowboys: Boone and Bo, Wyatt and Wylie, Cole and Colt, Zane and Shane, and even Maverick.
A names have been trending upward for several years now, with more babies receiving A names than those of any other letter. What makes A names new are the adventurous choices parents are making these days in order to use a name with this primary letter: Fresh A names attracting attention on Nameberry include for girls, Acacia, Ada, Anais, Annelise, Anouk, Aria, Athena, Aurelia, and Azalea, and for boys, Alistair, Ambrose, Aragon, Archer, Arthur, Augustus, and Axel.
Over the past few decades, we've had J, K, and L names in the forefront, and with Baby Names 2012 it's M's moment. M names making their move include for girls, Maeve, Magdalena, Maisie, Marguerite, Marlo/Marlowe, May, Mila, Millie, and Minnie, and for boys, Magnus, Micah, Miller, Milo, Montgomery, and Moses.
Word names are taking a new turn away from nouns and toward adjectives. Or are now embracing adjectives as well as nouns Choices we have been hearing: True, Noble, Brave, Strong, Loyal, Loving, Sunny, Golden, Royal, Happy. One UK soccer star and his fashionista wife tried to beat this trend by naming their son Trendy.
Betty was so hot for so long that it felt like one of those names that might never come back. But stylish mommy blogger Gabrielle Blair has a Betty (and a Ralph and a June) and stunning Mad Men actress January Jones did much to heat up the image of this old standard. Move over, Veronica: There's a new glamour girl in town.
Gone are the old one-syllable connective-tissue middle names like Ann and Lee and Lynn, and in their place are....new one-syllable connective-tissue middle names such as May and Wren and Bee. Tied to this trend is the t that of choosing family middle names that are the nicknames of the person being honored, as in Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber's Alexander Pete and Sara Gilbert's Levi Hank.
When we first saw the name Arlo popping on the back end of Nameberry, we thought maybe folksinger Arlo Guthrie was having a resurgence. But no, today's Arlo inspiration is more contemporary but even more unlikely: The gun-toting, pot-dealing grandpa Arlo Givens on television's Justified.
We liked Hadley, name of Hemingway's sympathetic first wife. And Huxley, Ridley, and Radley, as in Aldous, Scott, and Boo, were all intriguing. But the trend toward tacking an -ley onto the end of a wide range of first syllables and calling it a name -- Brinley, Kinley, Finley, endlessly -- became so pandemic so quickly that we are ready to declare it over, already.
Nicknames that end in ie - Lottie and Hattie, Addie and Nellie - were all the rage at the end of the 19th century but then gave way to "modern" y endings, which in the 1960s became cutesi i endings, which in the yooneek era morphed into -ee and -eigh and -ea etcetera endings. But now we're back where we started from, with sweet vintage nicknames for girls spelled the authentic vintage way, with ie at the end.

Water: Nonpoint Source Success Stories
District of Columbia: Hickey Run
Oil & Grease Water Quality Goals Achieved
Waterbody | Problem | Project Highlights | Results | Partners & Funding
Waterbody ImprovedIllegal oil and grease dumping has historically plagued Hickey Run, a tributary of the Anacostia River approximately 1 mile downstream of the Washington, DC-Maryland border. As a result of extensive outreach efforts targeting the major sources of oil and grease—including local automotive repair shops—Hickey Run was removed from the 303(d) impaired waters list for oil and grease.
Land use in the Hickey Run watershed is largely composed of industrial and manufacturing uses, including a number of transportation-related facilities and automotive repair shops. The stream has been historically plagued by oil and grease from illegal dumping, and also during rain storms as oil and grease from surrounding parking lots, roads, and bridges flush into the storm sewer system, often overflowing directly into the stream. In 1996 Hickey Run was included on the DC 303(d) list for oil and grease, PCBs, and chlordane. In 1998 organics and bacteria were added to the list of pollutants impairing Hickey Run.

Study of the design patterns book: 16 of 23 patterns have qualitatively simpler implementation in Lisp or Dylan than in C++ for at least some uses of each pattern
16 of 23 patterns are either invisible or simpler, due to: First-class types(6): Abstract-Factory, Flyweight, Factory Method, State, Proxy, Chain-Of-Responsibility. First-class functions(4): Command, Strategy, Template-Method, Visitor Macros(2): Interpreter, Iterator Method Combination (2): Mediator, Observer Multimethods (1): Builder Modules (1): Facade
Originally posted by Ilja Preuss: I think the answer is in that a pattern is more than just a code template.
Dynamic versions needs only the Window classes. The classes themselves serve as factories. This works because classes are first-class values. We can say make(c).
Originally posted by Stan James: If it's a one-line implementation, that's very cool.
Sounds to me like a Strategy-Factory then.
I'm curious: when would a design pattern be worthy its name, in your opinion?
And how many of the GoF patterns, for example, do you know?
Well, I agree that design patterns can be language specific, and that some can be quite simple. I don't see how it directly follows that they don't have value, though.
I don't know about special variables, but I have a very strong dislike for the Singleton pattern, anyway. They are just globals in disguise - with all their typical problems.
If examining a zillion Lisp programs would not reveal the GoF patterns, would it reveal a whole different set of patterns? Patterns are just common solutions to common problems. I'd rather expect to see Lisp gurus around the world solving similar problems in similar ways that could be written up in the GoF style pattern language. Do patterns show up a weakness in the language, or show off its strengths?
Or maybe some language has reached the place where every line of code sings of the business domain. I'd much rather write and read code about insurance and call centers than http sessions and strategy factories.
Compare "can we use a Strategy there" with "can we pass in a function there that gets called inside the algorithm so that we can customize it?"

Note, dynamic binding is orthogonal to dynamic linking...

Originally posted by Ricky Clarkson: Wikipedia seems to agree with my use of late binding
Originally posted by Ilja Preuss: Is dynamic binding the same as late binding?
Originally posted by Ricky Clarkson: Ilja seems to confuse polymorphism, which is a type-based form of late binding, with late binding itself, which is not necessarily type-based.
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds to me like a Strategy-Factory then. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not really - an object with references to two functions isn't actually a factory - it doesn't create anything, or appear to create anything.
Taking patterns outside their usual context, Bridge is a pattern worthy of its name, in terms of the real-world constructs that get you over rivers. Performing some mental acrobatics, we can imagine that in the future we might construct roads in the sky unsupported. Calling part of that road a bridge just because it happens to go over a river would be odd; i.e., the Bridge pattern has been obsoleted.
In programming, such physical limitations don't exist in the same way. As long as an abstraction doesn't cost a significant amount more than the repeated pattern, there's always a good way of making a design pattern obsolete.
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And how many of the GoF patterns, for example, do you know? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Begin Sarcasm. Oh, I love this kind of question. End Sarcasm.
I've, at various points, learned a little about all those patterns, and a lot about some.
I suppose the next one is "Have you worked on any real-world projects?"
The reason that they're language specific is that the language isn't flexible enough to handle the abstraction, so the pattern has to be implemented, repeatedly.
If I designed a programming language that didn't support recursion, you could translate your recursive algorithms into iterative ones with a stack object, and you could give that a pattern name, but it doesn't mean that the pattern is worth its name, just that the language I designed isn't.
It's worth learning about special variables, because they are globals that you can temporarily change the value of. They remove some of the problems that globals have in other languages. Even if you never use that, you can at least appreciate that there is a kind of global that isn't retarded.
That is, a pattern that exists among developers is that of limited code-reuse. I'd like to see that change, but Intellectual Property rules make it a bit hard to change it.
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compare "can we use a Strategy there" with "can we pass in a function there that gets called inside the algorithm so that we can customize it?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How about: "Can we use a callback there?"?

The private methods of a certain class can only be accessed by the following two categories : A- Any method inside the same instance of the class. B- Any method inside a different instance of the class.
Originally posted by Ilja Preuss: Weak/strong typing is about whether the type of an "object" is checked at runtime.
Originally posted by Mr. C Lamont Gilbert: I believe overloading is polymorphism.
Originally posted by Frank Carver: In the reportedly wonderful, flat and even, land of Lisp there may be no use for a bridge, but for it to be recognized as a pattern there must be a use elsewhere.
Originally posted by Frank Carver: One key aspect stressed very heavily by the original design patterns community is that a particular approach or piece of code is only considered to be a pattern once it has been observed "in the wild" at least three times.
Originally posted by Peer Reynders: The "Design Pattern" status of the "Bridge Pattern" was never challenged, neither in this thread nor in Norvig's presentation.
There is still the notion out there that design should be independent of the implementation (language).
I�m sure that there are many patterns that are tremendously useful to specific communities � however at what point should a useful pattern deserve to be called a �design pattern�?
Another thought: While GoF didn�t use UML as such (but something like it), both the GoF and UML are decidedly Object-Oriented. So the use of OO Design Patterns and OO Modeling/Notation could conceivably constrain us into OO solutions.
Originally posted by Ilja Preuss: Only if we constrain ourselves to using those tools, or so it seems to me.
Originally posted by Ilja Preuss: In my not so humble opinion, that's just plain illogical. Designing is about structuring code so that we can work effectively with it. It seems obvious to me that how we structure code would depend on what tools the language supports to structure the code.
Originally posted by Frank Carver: And, just like Design Patterns, a lot of the value is in the name.

Have you ever been in a situation when the person you crossed paths with seemed to suck the life and joy right out of you? My daughter and I quietly refer to them as emotional vampires. It's very possible they have been spiritually, emotionally, and mentally neglected for a long time, but nonetheless be on guard.
I firmly believe that people carry energy. It's scientifically proven by the positive energy our bodies create through the life source we have in the flowing blood under our skin. When we rub our hands together quickly, creating friction, we create warmth between our hands. This is positive energy. It's also been proven psychologically when Dr. Henry H. Goddard conducted an experiment with how children behaved based on giving them words of praise versus condemnation. Giving authentic praise feeds people with energy which can inspire them to rise to a higher level of happiness and joy. In turn they may end up giving positive energy to others too. It's like a domino effect.
There's really only so much we can do to build people up and when they continue in that 'vampire' mode they are dependent on stimuli to make them stay happy or they simply just love misery. This isn't a healthy relationship for us. We have the freedom to walk away from relationships that are draining. We can send a postcard or email from time to time to let them know we're thinking of them, but they need to find that inward place of joy that will carry them through even if no one is around to lift them up.
1 Samuel 30:6 "And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God." ESV
Every person ends up having a day that doesn't seem to get any better. We need to learn to encourage ourselves in the Lord.
Our identity is in Christ. We are hid in God, like a cleft in the rock. He is a strong tower and we run into it and are safe. No matter what, our souls are in his safe and tender care. As nice as it is to hear what a good housekeeper or parent we are, on those days when no one gives us any appreciation or affirmation, we can always rest in God's truth about us. We are loved and valued in his sight.
There's alsways those 'times of the month' that make us feel especially down. These are the days we need to spoil ourselves rotten. Don't be afraid to take care of YOU. Get up and make your coffee in your favorite coffee cup. Be prepared to do the following for yourself;
- Take a long hot shower with your favorite body wash.
- Get dressed up, including shoes.
- Fix your hair and put makeup on.
- Put on some sparkly jewelry.
- Get your coffee and read a book, your bible, or even Facebook. Whatever makes you happy.
- Have a few Identity Verse Cards readily available. Create memory verse cards about your identity in Christ. Pick the verses that affirm God's love for you. Write them down on 3×5 cards and keep them in a pretty envelope or box near your bible. Read them to yourself, out loud!
- Write yourself a love letter and include quotes or bible verses to reinforce your faith in yourself. It's okay to believe in yourself, God does. Light your favorite candle and read the letter outloud to yourself. Lay claim on the abundant life you will live that day. Read the letter boldly. You are a Victor.
"I am deeply loved and have great value in the Kingdom. Today I'm going to live like the princess I am and proclaim love to the world around me. In turn I will feel good about myself, because I have a giving spirit."
The candle is for a focal point and lighting the flame is a symbol of God's all encompassing love and purification.
These are simple and affordable ways to lift ourselves up so we can be an encouragement to those around us.
I hope this has been an encouragement to you. Live life empowered!

The noon slate isn't too great, but football is football. I suppose I will be watching the Northwestern/Iowa game.
The noon slate isn't too great, but football is football. I suppose I will be watching the Northwestern/Iowa game.
Northwestern is a 4 point dawg. I'm betting them... hoping they can turn their trainwreck of a Big 10 season around today on the road.
It should be a pretty good game. NW sure has "disappointed" this year. I put that word in quotation marks because I predicted months ago that NW would be overhyped. People called me crazy, but it turns out I was right.
I was in the same boat. When literally every pundit and sports personality is predicting a team to be a sleeper, the team isn't much of a sleeper, and generally fails to live up to the hype. Iowa is looking like the real sleeper these days.
I think i will be watching Nebraska at Minnesota.
This is getting interesting.
I thought Minnesota was one of the worst teams ever and Hoke and Borges failed by not beating them by enough points.
At last check, Iowa was favored by 3.5 points against Northwestern - I would think you'll see a 28-24-ish score in this one. Interestingly, Northwestern seems to find ways to turn the tables on Iowa now and again - I think it was the 2009 game where the Wildcats held Iowa to less than 70 yards of rushing, for example. According to the Tribune, Colter will be out there today, but Mark is still day-to-day, so this game could be interesting.
Taylor Martinez still throws awkwardly, but they did just go right down the field in about three minutes for a touchdown. For some reason, I'm feeling another beatdown by the hands of the Wolverines for Nebraska.
was probably incomplete? The announcers totally missed it.. if you go back and look at the low-angle replay, Bell didn't catch it cleanly and was still flailing at it when he hit the ground. Couldn't see the opposite field angle to be sure, but it's a pet peeve of mine when announcers ignore what the screen is showing...
Nebraska O just made football look easy.
You'd think that'd put our minds at ease when we go to play them in Evanston.....
First impression: Nebraska looks good.
Meh, Nebraska's offense is pretty good, but their defense sucks. They've just benefitted from playing four really bad opponents since getting thrashed by UCLA.
I'm sure they'll put up some points against us, but I'm not really concerned with playing them. They always have a total meltdown in big road games.
Not impressed with Nebraska offense, particularly. Also, R., Hageman is a mean SOB with an NFL future.
Miami down 7 early to WF. I think Miami is one of the most overrated teams in the country. They beat two 4-3 teams and 4 terrible teams. Their schedule is a joke.
They have certainly played a weak schedule but they still havent't lost yet. An undefeated team in the ACC deserves to be around the top 10 no matter what. I feel we won't really know what they're made of until they go to Florida State.
Iowa is manball
I think that's 22 plays now for Iowa, only four of which have been passing plays, so yeah, Manball sounds perhaps right here. That, and Ferentz having at least considered - momentarily - going for it on 4th and 3.
Minny just manballed the hell out of the blackshirts.
pulverizing drive by Minny, impressive. 10-7 Neb
I love seeing Minnesota in these uniforms. They're classic. They should retire the all-maroon look.
then do what I'm doing and listen to a much more interesting broadcast here:
WTKA is doing another Ufer rebroadcast, this one of the 1979 Michigan @ msu game.
If you're not in front of you computer and are reading this from your phone, there's always the iHeart app, too. They have WTKA, of course.
Northwestern has only had the opportunity to run 11 plays on offense so far. Oddly, if you do the math, however, they are being outgained by a yard or so on a per snap basis, but then Iowa's already at 144 yards of offense, where as NW is at 39 yards.
How did NU manage to do so well vs OSU?
Ohio is a fraud, that's why.
This is correct and I'm excited for the M/Ohio game. Assuming our key players are healthy, I really think M will beat them and end this terrible winning streak. I'm so sick of hearing about "Urbz" and this stupid winning streak. Since he started coaching, they have had some of the easiest scheduling I have ever seen.
Is Nebraska's offensive line this bad?
and their RG on consecutive plays. They really ought to double-team him.
I love the crowd reaction to every fumble from every game. It's literally just a unison "OOOOHHHH."
Loving this showing by the Gophers
looked like the guy's knees were down, but alas, only one quick replay and the announcers didn't talk about it
It is reassuring to watch Minny slow down Nebraska's powerful offense. I know that the game will be bonkers to an extent, but Nebraska does not look close to the dominant program some expected going into the season.
Minny RPS-ing Nebraska like crazy.
Iowa's OC dials up a nice play action on 3rd and 2, but the QB quickly throws it away and plays for the punt. Ferentz smiles inside
Jerry Kill is shutting me up - I wasn't sure how good a coach he was, but his team's looked pretty good lately. Hope he can get his health in order.
Nebraska with a division loss? Yes please.
I have no idea if Iowa is this good or NW is just so beat up they can't do anything. I think it is the latter, but who knows.
NW was never all that good to begin with. I saw them struggle against WMU and Cal (who is now 1-6) out of conference, when they were fully healthy.
Oh yeah, I never thought they'd be the class of the conference or anything (especially after that Maine game; Cal still felt a bit like some road weirdness), but at this point they can't do ANYTHING offensively. That shocks me a bit, even given the injuries.
The other thing is that they might just be flat. They can't win the B1G or improve upon last season's record, so Fitzgerald now has to find a way to motivate them. Maybe he's not that good in that area.
Strange how only NW gets called for holding. Yes, that particular call was obvious, but Iowa's OL is a holdig machine oon pass plays.
The percentages aren't good on 4th and 10... TD Minny!
Minny showing zero respect for Nebraska's D, going for it on 4th and 10 and slinging it downfield. Love it....
Man Nebraska sure does look flat today.
that's was a gutsy call on 4&10. that's playing to win

One way to steer clear of costly car repairs would be to make sure the oil filter is often in excellent operating condition since a defective item can bring about troubles which cause serious damage in your engine. There are instances when a bad Volkswagen Passat oil filter fails without having a hint regarding its state; it's good that there are some telltale symptoms, which somehow alerts you when your factory-installed component already necessities replacement.
Among the signs which will notify you regarding the oil filter's faltering condition are engine that's getting too hot, check engine light, and oil leakage. Volkswagen Passat oil filters are designed with a defense feature that allows even dirty oil to get into the engine as it is still more favorable than using no oil at all to lubricate the engine. You may expect engine overheating if you keep on using your engine using dirty oil because sediments willmore likely accumulate on the different components comprising your engine in case you have mineral deposits, flow of heat is hindered. Changing the oil filter in your Volkswagen Passat has to be carried out on a regular basis to guarantee long service life. To prevent premature clogging and wear in your oil filter, it's smart to utilize the exact weight motor oil provided by the manufacturer; this information are found in the car repair manual.
Vehicle owners who require a new Volkswagen Passat oil filter yet seeking a low price guarantee can visit Parts Train's wide collection of choices. Check out our variety of options right from well-known brands like Mann-Filter, Mopar Performance, and Full and place your order 24/7.

On a recent trip through the US I picked up a bottle of Makers Mark in the "Rock the Vote" bottle. Should I open it or is it worth keeping?
On a recent trip through the US I picked up a bottle of Makers Mark in the "Rock the Vote" bottle. Should I open it or is it worth keeping?
Hope is subversive, for it limits the grandiose pretensions of the present by calling into existence the possibility of something better.
What he said above ^
Makers Mark lets you dip your own bottle after the tour. I think this is wicked cool, but could never do it myself. That's because I personally believe all whiskey should be enjoyed, and I'd have to tear off the wax and drink it, thus destroying the souvenier.
But if you'd like a pretty bottle on the mantle, then great!
"You're the best bourbon drinkers ever!" - Margo (waitress at Bourbon's Bistro in Louisville)
Recently I found MM orange over white bottles for the Univ of TN. They have been in the store for a few years and were slightly cheaper than the usual red wax bottles. UT sports have had a hard time the last few years and thus bottles are not moving well. They make a great gift when invited to a dinner that is a little different. I purchased them to drink and share. MM is a great bourbon for those who are starting their bourbon journey and a comfort bottle to return to for those like me. I say open it and enjoy. tim
This is a hard one. You didn't say where you were from and if you haven't had MM before and you can't get any where around where you live I would say break it open. If you can get another bottle then save the one you got for something special.
Ok so maybe a little more background is required, first of all I've had plenty of MM over the years. Secondl I have bottles of Jim Beam Black, Bullitt, and Bookers open at the moment so I'm not hurting for choice. I thought it may be worth more unopened, if not I've no problem drinking it, unfortunately none of my friends like Bourbon so I do all my drinking alone (suckers). Also Alberta (Canada) just raised the taxes on alcohol and that bottle of Jim Beam cost me $28.00. Thanks all.
Open it on up.
I opened mine a few months ago and put it in the recycling bin just last night.
Some say that the bottles with the Blue Wax on top, taste better than those with the Red Wax on top.
Wag more.
Bark less.

Indonesia pays 'blood money' for maidComment on this story
Jakarta - Migrants' rights activists in Indonesia welcomed on Friday the government's decision to pay $1.8 million to free one of its citizens on death row in Saudi Arabia, just days before she was to be executed for murdering her employer.
Satinah, a 41-year old migrant domestic worker, was convicted of killing her Saudi employer in 2007 but said she had acted in self-defence after her boss allegedly physically abused her. She was sentenced to death by beheading.
"The government can no longer ignore the fact that saving a citizen is the country's responsibility," said Anis Hidayah, executive director of NGO Migrant Care, according to media reports.
The government, which announced its decision on a website on Thursday, had come under fire over Satinah's case after initially saying it could not raise the money in time. Celebrities and activists spearheaded a fundraising campaign.
As allowed by Saudi law, the victim's family had initially demanded $4 million in "blood money" to spare the maid's life, but agreed to lower the amount after years of negotiations with the Indonesian government.
Hundreds of mostly female Indonesian migrant workers go abroad in search of work every year, but often face abusive working conditions in destinations like Malaysia, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia. These workers contribute millions of dollars to the Indonesian economy annually in remittances.
The case of an Indonesian maid beaten by her employer in Hong Kong prompted mass rallies this year and graphic photos of her injuries were made public. The employer was brought before a court before being released on bail.
Indonesia imposed a moratorium on sending domestic workers to Saudi Arabia in 2011 after another maid was beheaded for killing her employer. The ban remains in effect.
NGO Migrant Care says 45 migrant workers could face the death penalty in Saudi Arabia "if the Indonesian government doesn't defend their rights". - Reuters

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - A local man who allegedly arranged to meet a 12-year-old boy for sex was charged in federal court yesterday with attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity and possessing child pornography. These charges resulted from an investigation conducted by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Thomas Thornburg, 52, of the 1200 block of W. Governor St., was arrested Feb. 17 and charged April 1 in U.S. District Court, Central District of Illinois. According to the affidavit filed in federal court, Thornburg allegedly engaged in email chats in February with a person he believed to be a 12-year-old boy from Springfield. The boy was actually an ICE agent posing as a 12-year-old minor male. During one of the email chats, Thornburg allegedly made arrangements to meet the boy near his school.
Thornburg was arrested Feb. 17 after law enforcement officers observed him walking northbound on Lincoln Street near Sacred Heart Griffin and Dubois Elementary schools. ICE agents executed a state search warrant at Thornburg's residence that same day and seized a computer, compact discs and other items. ICE agents conducted an initial forensic examination of materials recovered from Thornburg's residence and identified 164 movies containing child pornography, including movies depicting boys as young as 6 years old engaging in sexual activity.
ICE was assisted in the investigation by the FBI, the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office and the Springfield Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy A. Bass, Central District of Illinois, is prosecuting this case.
Thornburg faces up to 30 years in prison, lifetime supervised release, and fines of up to $250,000 if he's convicted of attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity. He faces 10 to 20 years imprisonment and lifetime supervised release if he is convicted of possessing child pornography
Members of the public are reminded that a complaint is merely an accusation; the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
"Many children daily are victimized by child molesters and predators who make contact through the Internet," said Mike Mitchell, acting resident agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Springfield, Ill. "ICE is committed to apprehending and prosecuting anyone who seeks to abuse our children and endangers their lives and well-being. We will continue working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to bring to justice anyone who tries to hurt children."
Thornburg was arrested as part of Operation Predator, a national ICE initiative that protects children by investigating and presenting for prosecution pedophiles, Internet predators, human traffickers, international sex tourists, and other predatory criminals. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 10,900 child predators and sex offenders nationwide, including more than 550 in Illinois. For more information about Operation Predator, visit www.ice.gov.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

Where to buy an Orion skyquest xt8 classic in the UK?
Posted 15 January 2011 - 10:47 PM
First post and all that My hubby and I have done the leg work and we're going to take the plunge and buy the long waited for first scope.
We have our hearts set on the Orion skyquest xt8 classic, but can't seem to find it for sale in the uk.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

I can find the Intelliscope version at SCS Astro:
Orion SkyQuest XT8 IntelliScope. - SCS Astro
You say you want it without the inteliscope. You could call SCS and ask if they can source the classic. I bet they can. There's one comment I have, however. I've used the 8" classic and found the motions had a lot of breaking friction, which made it rather a battle to use. The inteliscope version seems to have the same altitude bearings as my XX12i and I'm quite happy with these. They're smooth and they're easily adjustable. I don't know what the azimuth bearing is like on the 8" inteliscope but those on the XX12 are pretty good. Even if you don't want the inteliscope (I hardly use mine) it may be worth paying extra for the nicer bearings. Regardless, both the classic and the inteliscope would be great choices for a first scope and there are fairly cheap things you can do to fix poor quality bearings.

As Rowan46 said the XT8 classic is the same scope as the Skywatcher Skyliner 200p but quite a bit cheaper, any extra bits and pieces such as barlows or ep's would not make me buy the XT8 classic over the Skywatcher.

I wish I had bought the Orion US version now at it has a Metal base and the Skywatcher has a chipboard/MDF base which i am worried might rot if places on wet grass or in damp conditions.
You maybe thinking of the Orion Optics dob which uses a metal base. The Orion XT8 uses the same base materials as the Skywatcher.
Based on price there is very little reason to choose the Orion XT8, unless you prefer the colour. Orion need to find a way to reduce their import costs to make them more competitive.

Court: TN Court of Appeals
James H. Bradberry, Dresden, Tennessee, for the appellants, William Salyers and Pam Salyers
Phillip G. Hollis, Camden, Tennessee, for the appellees, John R. Conder and Paula S. Conder
Judge: STAFFORD
This appeal arises from a boundary line dispute. Appellees and Appellants both provided expert testimony and surveys from their respective surveyors. The trial court concluded that Appellees' surveyor's line was correct, and was not in conflict with the historic deeds. Accordingly, the court set the common boundary line between the parties's properties in compliance with Appellees' survey. In addition to the competing surveys, the court based its decision, in part, upon Tennessee Code Annotated Section 28-2-109, which creates a presumption of ownership in a party who has paid taxes on property for more than twenty years. Based upon tax records, the court determined that Appellees had paid the property taxes on the disputed property for the relevant statutory period. Appellants appeal. We conclude that the evidence does not preponderate against the trial court's determinations. Affirmed and remanded.
Henry Joshua Nagorny, pro se appellant.
Grainger County Sheriff Scott Layel, appellee.
Judge: SWINEY
This appeal arises from a dispute over the calculation of jail credits. Henry J. Nagorny ("Nagorny"), an incarcerated individual, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the Circuit Court for Grainger County ("the Trial Court") seeking to compel Sheriff Scott Layel to award him jail behavior credits that allegedly were due him. The Trial Court dismissed Nagorny's petition, stating that the calculation of credits is an administrative matter. Nagorny filed an appeal to this Court. We hold that the record in this appeal is insufficient for proper appellate review. Namely, the Trial Court's final order in the record before us apparently is incomplete and missing certain material. We remand to the Trial Court so that it may correct the defect in the record in keeping with our Opinion.
Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals
Harold R. Gunn, Humboldt, Tennessee, for the appellant, Antonious Jamal Brown.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; David H. Findley, Senior Counsel; Garry Brown, District Attorney General; Jerald Campbell and Jason Scott, Assistant District Attorneys General; for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: THOMAS
The Defendant, Antonious Jamal Brown, challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his jury conviction for first degree murder. Specifically, he contends that there was insufficient evidence presented to prove that he shot the victim and that he did so with premeditation. After reviewing the record and the applicable authorities, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
Mark Stephens, District Public Defender, and Robert C. Edwards, Assistant District Public Defender, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Somer M. Bullard.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Leslie E. Price, Senior Counsel; Randall E. Nichols, District Attorney General, and Ta Kisha Fitzgerald, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: PAGE
Appellant, Somer M. Bullard, was convicted of six counts of aggravated robbery representing two alternate theories of three separate offenses. The trial court merged the two convictions for each offense and sentenced appellant to concurrent sentences of eleven years for each of the three convictions, to be served in the Tennessee Department of Correction. Appellant raises the following issues in this direct appeal: (1) whether the trial court violated her right to a speedy trial; and (2) whether the trial court erred in sentencing her to an eleven-year effective sentence. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
James M. Judkins, Smithville, Tennessee, for the appellant Francisco I. Bustamonte.
David N. Brady and Allison Rasbury West, Cookeville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Scott Carroll, Jr.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin A. Ball, Assistant Attorney General; Randy York, District Attorney General; and Greg Strong and Gary McKenzie, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: WEDEMEYER
This case is the consolidated appeal of two defendants, Franscisco I. Bustamonte and Scott Carroll, Jr., who were convicted for the initiation of a process intended to result in methamphetamine, a Class B felony. The trial court sentenced Defendant Carroll as a Career Offender to thirty years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. The trial court sentenced Defendant Bustamonte as a Range I, standard offender to eleven years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, Defendant Carroll contends that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence found during the search of the residence. Additionally, both Defendants assert that: (1) the trial court erred when it allowed the State to amend the indictment to change the date of the offense; (2) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the conviction; (3) the trial court erred when it failed to instruct the jury on the charges of manufacture of methamphetamine, promotion of methamphetamine, and unlawful drug paraphernalia; (4) the trial court erred when it admitted into evidence the State's inventory list of the ingredients found during a search of the residence and photographs taken during the search; and (5) the trial court erred when it sentenced them. After a thorough review of the record and applicable authorities, we conclude there exists no error in the judgments of the trial court. We, therefore, affirm the trial court's judgments.
Edward Shawndale Robinson, Pro Se, Pikeville, Tennessee.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Lacy Wilber, Assistant Attorney General; Ronald L. Davis, District Attorney General, and Sean B. Duddy, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: SMITH
Following a traffic stop on Interstate 40, Appellant, Edward Shawndale Robinson, was indicted by the Hickman County Grand Jury in August of 2009 for possession of more than ten pounds of marijuana with the intent to deliver and following traffic too closely. Appellant sought unsuccessfully to have evidence seized from him suppressed prior to trial. After a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of possession of more than ten pounds of marijuana and sentenced to six years as a Range II, multiple offender. Appellant presents the following issues for our review on appeal: (1) whether Appellant received a fair and impartial jury; (2) whether the stop and subsequent search of Appellant's vehicle was valid; and (3) whether Appellant received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. After a review of the law and applicable authorities, we conclude Appellant's failure to include transcripts of the hearing on the motion for new trial and hearing on the motion to suppress results in a waiver of the issues raised on appeal. Further, Appellant has failed to show plain error that would result in our review of the issues despite the waiver. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Members of Tennessee's Access to Justice community will gather in St. Louis this week for the 2013 Equal Justice Conference, sponsored by the American Bar Association and the National Legal Aid & Defender Association. The annual event draws lawyers, law students, members of the judiciary and other supporters of access to justice work from across the country. The conference will include sessions on innovations in technology, collaborations, research and resource management, and tangible ways to increase the capacity of pro bono programs and those supporting pro se litigants.
Jobs in the legal sector are at their highest level in four years according to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Details released Friday show gains in the last two months as the legal sector added 2,100 jobs in April and 3,500 jobs in March (up from a predicted increase of 2,000 jobs). The total number of legal jobs now stands at 1.13 million, up by 10,000 from April 2012. At its pre-recession high in May 2007, the legal sector had 1.18 million jobs. AM Law Daily summarizes the findings.
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services will create nine recovery courts to combat mental health and substance abuse issues across the state by combining services currently found in drug courts, mental health courts and veterans' courts. A department spokesperson said the decision to combine resources was based on the fact that so many people dealing with substance abuse also have a mental health issue. Locations have not yet been determined for the courts, but the department says it has been working with community leaders, law enforcement and the treatment community to identify the best places for the new resources. The Chattanoogan has more.
Lawyers for the Department of Children's Services say they will appeal a judge's ruling limiting how much the agency can charge for records of children who died or nearly died in its care. Instead of the 50-cent per page cost ordered by Davidson County Chancellor Carol McCoy, lawyers for the state argue the department will spend thousands of dollars to hire, train and supervise contract paralegals to review the records before making them public. By its internal calculations, DCS predicts it will cost $5 a page or an average of $212 for each case to produce the records.
An 86-year-old Nashville woman has become the fourth victim of the fungal meningitis outbreak to file suit against Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurosurgical Center, The Tennessean reports. In a complaint filed late last week, attorneys for Virginia Neely allege that she was sickened after getting two injections of a tainted spinal steroid. She is seeking $3 million in compensatory damages. Neely previously sued the New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for shipping the tainted medicine. That suit, however, has been put on hold because the company has filed for bankruptcy. Neely's suit is expected to be sent to Judge Joe P. Binkley Jr., who already is handling the three previously filed cases.
The Tennessean today followed up on the discussion of whether a new federal courthouse is needed in Nashville, quoting U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, who said a report critical of the project overlooks some of the ways in which the current court building is outdated. Cooper, a Democrat who has made fiscal conservatism his calling card in Congress but has long pushed for a new federal courthouse in Nashville, told the newspaper that, "We played by the rules. We haven't elbowed our way in the federal line. We shouldn't be punished for that."
Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Sharon Lee will receive the Lizzie Crozier French Women's Leadership Award on June 14 at the East Tennessee Women's Leadership Summit in Knoxville. Lee is being recognized for supporting and empowering women advancing in society, the Knoxville Daily Sun reports. The award is named for French, who fought for women's suffrage and was the first woman to address the Tennessee General Assembly and run for the Knoxville City Council. Lee is a past president of the East Tennessee Lawyers' Association for Women, board member of the Tennessee Lawyers' Association for Women and the first woman to serve on the Eastern Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals. Registration information for the event is available online.
John Harris, executive director of the Tennessee Firearms Association, is urging members to "refocus efforts to remove" lawmakers who oppose gun rights, and state Sen. Brian Kelsey, R- Germantown, is at the top of that list, The Tennessean reports. Others targeted for removal by the group are senators Lowe Finney, D-Jackson, Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, R-Blountville, and John Stevens, R-Huntingdon; and state representatives Vance Dennis, R-Savannah, and House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville.
The U.S. Senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act yesterday by an easy 69-27 vote. But the bill faces an uphill battle in the House, the Memphis Business Journal reports. The measure would allow for the collection of state sales tax on most Internet purchases. Under current law, retailers have to collect taxes only in states where they have a physical presence. The bill also attempts to address concerns that the new requirement will burden small businesses by exempting retailers that sell less than $1 million worth of goods. Some online retailers say that exemption is too small. In a statement issued after the Senate vote, for example, eBay pledged to push the House to raise this exemption to $10 million in sales or 50 employees.
Sonja White, managing attorney of Memphis Area Legal Services' (MALS) Family Law/Domestic Violence Unit, died this past Saturday (May 4). She was 49. Visitation will be Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will take place at 11 a.m. on Friday. Both will be held at the East Side Baptist Church, 3232 Covington Pk., Memphis 38128 according to the Memphis Bar Association. White graduated from Hofstra University School of Law and was president of the Memphis Area Women's Council and a member of the Memphis Bar Association. She previously chaired the Memphis & Shelby County Domestic Violence Council, and served on Shelby County Unified Family Court Task Force in 2007. She joined MALS in 2001.

I have seen all the pictures on how to do a linkwheel.
My question is this would you give links in your wheel to your competition?
Would this make your links appear stronger if you placed your site between two experts in the field?
I backtracked a huge wheel that I found and that is what they are doing. Most links are going to experts almost like as if the experts have a really bad over linked wheel, That is easy to find, but a few links are going to a small newer site.
Some articles on the wheel are giving 5 and 6 links to the same expert site then to a 2.0 page giving a different expert like 2 or 3 links another 2.0 page and a deep link to the smaller newer site.
Article linking expert and 2.0 page; 2.0 linking to different expert another 2.0 and small site; 2.0 page linking expert, expert, 2.0 page; and so on.....
By the time I got done following this wheel the two different experts sites have hundreds of yourdomain.com links pointing to them, and the small news site has about 18 really deep links each going to a different internal page.
Can anyone give me a reason why?

Liza Minnelli, Idina Menzel, Richard Gere and former U.S. President Bill Clinton were among the stars who paid tribute to late composer Marvin Hamlisch during a funeral service on Tuesday (14Aug12).
Hamlisch, who boasted the rare honour of being one of only two people ever awarded an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize, passed away after a brief illness in Los Angeles on 6 August (12), aged 68.
Family and friends mourned his passing at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in New York on both Sunday (12Aug12) and Monday (13Aug12), but on Tuesday dozens of famous faces turned out to say their final goodbyes at the Jewish Temple Emanu-El - the site of George Gershwin's memorial.
Entertainer Minnelli, who considered Hamlisch a "best friend", and Glee actress Menzel, who called the composer her "second father", were both on hand to honour their late pal, as were many fans of his work, including, Gere, Clinton, Tony Danza, Candice Bergen, Tony nominee Kelli O'Hara, comedian Robert Klein, and filmmaker Mike Nichols.
During the ceremony Menzel performed a rendition of At the Ballet from Broadway show A Chorus Line, which Hamlisch scored, and a choir sang his songs The Way We Were and What I Did For Love.
Meanwhile, composer Richard Kagan, cosmetics executive Leonard Lauder, socialite Lily Safra, and his wife of 26 years, Terre, all spoke at the event. Hamlisch's widow said, "Marvin taught me how to live life with gusto and magic. He would order every dessert on the menu so everyone could taste everything and miss nothing in life."
Statements of mourning from U.S. President Barack Obama and former First Lady Nancy Reagan were also read aloud.

The 25th anniversary of 'The Wonder Years': What you never knew about the nostalgic series
Can you believe it's been 25 years since Kevin Arnold first set eyes upon Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years"? It's true. Although fans grew up with stars Fred Savage and Danica McKellar throughout the show's six-year run, there's a lot you might not know about them and the hit series behind the scenes. Here are 10 fun facts about "The Wonder Years." — Amy and Nancy Harrington, Yahoo! Contributor Network
7 / 10
Kevin's sister Karen had good taste. Her hippie boyfriend was played by John Corbett and the character married David Schwimmer in Season 5.
7. Karen Arnold had good taste in men
Olivia d'Abo played Kevin Arnold's free-spirited older sister, Karen, on "The Wonder Years" -- and boy, did her character have good taste in men! Much to her conservative father's chagrin, she dated a handsome hippie played by "Sex and the City" hunk
John Corbett in Season 1. When Karen finally chose to settle down in Season 5, she did so with future "Friends" star
real life, d'Abo dated singer Julian Lennon and was engaged to actor Thomas Jane before tying the knot with music producer Patrick Leonard in 2002. She
filed for divorce from Leonard, who oversaw
production on Madonna's track "Like a Prayer" and the Cheap Trick album "The Latest," late last year.

Quick Math appears to be a very usefully sight in referance to algebra, equations, inequalities, calculus and matricies. I spent about 15 minutes reading definitions about the above mentioned. I could not log to the links to get more detail about this site. I kept getting an error "could not connect to JRun Server." Overall, it appears that this site could be used for future math problems and questions. I will bookmark this site as a future referance.

I spent about 45 minutes trying to solve the puzzle. My first attempt was trying to solve it by trial and error. No luck. I very quickly noticed that I was going in circles. My second attempt was a better approach. I wrote down all the possible variations of 8 and my list was rather long. As I was making my list, I noticed why my trial and error approach led me in circles. I tried to use another approach by trying to minimize my list which would utilize certain combinations. Still no luck in solvivng the puzzle. I eventually solved the puzzle but I was not sure on how I was able to accomplish it. After I solved it, I looked at the answer and it made the puzzle much easier to understand. When I first looked at the puzzle, it appeared that it was going to be fairly easy to solve. I very quickly found out that it was easier said that done. The three glass puzzle consumed by mind as I attempted to solve it. (My original work was done on Friday 921 at around 10pm but I was unable to save my comments.)As a first time user, the software material was fairly easy to use.

I spent about 15 minutes reading about Thales of Miletus. Most of what I read was not very appealing to me and did not grab my immediate attention. It appeared to me he was not unanimously seen as a great mathamatician. His prediction of the sun eclipse in 585BC was publically questioned and seen by some as a guess. None-the-less, Thales of Miletus was credited for 5 thereoums of elementary geomatry. I did find his three different methods which he might have used to calculate the distance to a ship at sea very interesting. Overall, this site did not meet my immediate needs. On the other hand, this site would be very useful if someone were in need of research on Thales of Miletus.There are also numerous links that give you more information on various subjects.

Church Planters
June 4, 2015 | 0 Comments
In 1974, Ray and Moira Oliver arrived in Pietermaritzburg from Zimbabwe to plant a church. In those days the church comprised mainly of University students. After a few years we bought an old church building in Victoria Road. 1984 was a big year for us: we moved venue to 498 Alexandra Road, and began to partner with a group of churches called New Covenant Ministries International. Together, we have planted churches in more than 50 countries of the world, and continue to assist thousands of churches in their leadership and development. The church grew steadily through the 80s & 90s, and in 2000, Ray and Moira Oliver handed over leadership to Grant & Sue Crawford. In 2005, we built the 1800 seater auditorium in Bisley. 2007 saw a dramatic shift in our modus operandi. This was the year we began to run concurrent and multiple meetings at various venues around the city. Today, we meet at 13 different venues in PMB and the midlands every Sunday.

Campaign donations from businesses with public contracts rose sharply last year for the first time since New Jersey first instituted pay-to-play reforms nearly a decade ago to curb the influence of money in politics.
Annual disclosure reports released Monday by the state Election Law Enforcement Commission show contributions from government contractors increased 27 percent in 2013, from a little under $8 million in 2012 to around $10.1 million. It's still far below the peak of $16.4 million measured in 2007.

- Gag:267-274 peptide vaccine
A peptide vaccine containing the amino acids 267 through 274 of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gag core protein (gag:267-274), with potential immunostimulating activity. Upon vaccination, the immune system may exert a potent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against the xenoantigen gag:267-274 and produces pro-inflammatory cytokines. The concomitant administration of a cancer peptide vaccine may benefit from an already activated immune system and may augment an immune response against the administered tumor associated antigen(s). Gag:267-274 peptide is highly immunogenic and may potentially be used as a cancer immunoadjuvant. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

I'm curious as to the youngest American whiskey, I've heard of one called 'Old Williamsburg No. 20' at 3 yrs old
Can anyone beat this (or find me a bottle).

I'm curious as to the youngest American whiskey, I've heard of one called 'Old Williamsburg No. 20' at 3 yrs old
Can anyone beat this (or find me a bottle).
Gotta be Georgia Moon. The difference is clear.
In case you're not familiar with Georgia Moon, it's a corn whiskey that is less than 30 days old.
should've thought of that myself. Doh :rolleyes:
Don't feel bad about not thinking "Georgia Moon" when you think "whiskey." Next time you think "solvent to clean my laptop screen" though...
O.k. let me refine my search.
Youngest BOURBON this time.
Does the 'Old Williamsburg' carry
(and why do they call it 'Old' ??:skep: :skep: , subliminal justification???)
2 answers here guys, don't get sidetracked.
As far as I know Old Williamsburg at 36months old would be the youngest I know of (though I've never actually seen it). It is also listed in Regans book as the only Kosher bourbon in existance.
About the "old" thing...there are only certain words actually allowed on a label and old is one of them. Anchor Distilling makes fun of this rule by calling its product "Old Potrero" when it is as young as 18 months, but alas is a rye and not a bourbon.
Cheers Tim,
Is 3 yrs the legal minimum for Bourbon? (therefore making Old Williamsburg untopable).
I have no direct knowledge, but I think I have heard (on these forums) that Old Crow is also 3 years old. I imagine there are also others.
Yes Tim, you are right there are other's...Quote:

Paul, to be called bourbon, it has to aged for at least two years in (white) oak barrels :grin:

Go Bike Touring!
Don't just take your bike on your next vacation – take your next vacation on your bike!
In July 2009, after getting rid of all of our stuff and saying goodbye to our friends, we left our steady lives to cycle around the US. The goal was simple: to see hidden corners of the country, meet amazing people, live as fully as possible. Almost 14 months and 9,000 miles later, we're still pedaling – and we're pretty much convinced that traveling on a bike is the best way to explore (and experience) the world.

Abby Martin reflects on the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and explains why this wasn't a necessary action in order to end World War II.
Tag Archives | Nagasaki
The Atomic Curse on Humanity
On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin goes over the ongoing nuclear crisis in Fukushima, Japan, the dangers of nuclear energy and remarks on the anniversary of the atomic bombs that devastated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Big Historical Lie
Via orwellwasright:
It is perceived wisdom throughout the Western world – particularly America – that the dropping of two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was "necessary" to end the war with Japan. Printed throughout textbooks in the post-war world, the understanding is that, had these targets not been struck, the war would have waged on indefinitely, with potentially untold American soldier and Japanese civilian deaths.
As the world commemorates the 68th anniversary of the attacks, however, it is important to take a step back and view the catastrophic event not through the prism of propaganda and mythologizing, but instead through the lens of historical scrutiny. For, as if often the case, the disparity between "Official History" and reality is characterized by lies and deceptions bolstered by patriotism and American exceptionalism.
We are told repeatedly that, without the use of weapons which current Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui refers to as the "ultimate inhumane weapon and an absolute evil", Japan would never have surrendered.… Read the rest

ARLINGTON (WFAA) -- Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington has confirmed an adult woman died while riding the Texas Giant Friday night.
While news of the death quickly spread across Twitter, few details were confirmed as of 8 p.m.
Officials at Six Flags did not reveal how the woman died.
Six Flags official statement:
We are deeply saddened to share that
earlier this evening an adult woman died in the park while on the Texas
Giant. Park medical staff and local paramedics responded immediately.
Since the safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority,
the ride has been closed pending further investigation. Our thoughts
and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time.
Originally an all wooden roller coaster introduced to the park in
1990, the ride was redesigned with a steel track and re-opened in April
of 2011 during the theme park's 50th anniversary. The ride's tallest
height is 153 feet and has a drop of 147 feet.
