One year ago today, the Supreme Court struck down a section of the Defense of Marriage Act in the landmark case, United States v. Windsor. The decision paved the way for married same-sex couples to be recognized by the federal government and to receive the federal rights afforded to all married couples.
It's an exciting time, but investors identifying as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender are still puzzled about their financial rights and responsibilities, a new survey has found. A majority of the LGBT investors surveyed by Wells Fargo, 83 percent, don't entirely understand how federal and state laws apply to them and their finances.
And no wonder: It can be ridiculously complicated since some 30 states still don't recognize same-sex marriage.
For married same-sex couples in states that recognize their union, "for all intents and purposes their lives could be similar to heterosexual counterparts," says Certified Financial Planner professional John Quattlebaum, a wealth planning strategist with The Private Bank at Wells Fargo. But taxes, estate planning and investing all get much more complex for married couples who reside in states that don't recognize same-sex marriage.
Couples living in non-recognition states face unique circumstances. In order to receive federal benefits, they must be married in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage. That impacts financial planning issues, including Social Security decisions.
Couples who were married in a recognition state but reside in a non-recognition state won't be able to receive Social Security benefits and veterans benefits without further legislation, the White House announced last week, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Making finances more complicated
Talking about financial issues as a couple is important for pairs of all stripes, LGBT or otherwise. All couples should also seek out advice tailored to their needs. In the case of LGBT couples, those living in states that do not recognize gay marriage need specialized advice.
"They need to find financial advisers, estate planning attorneys and accountants who can understand their situation. One of the key findings in the survey was that many individuals prefer to work with advisers who have a large LGBT client base or are LGBT themselves, to ensure that they are trained in LGBT issues and can update their documents, transfer assets efficiently and effectively and make sure taxes are filed correctly," Quattlebaum says.
Money is a gray area
The financial benefits of federally recognized marriages are key to the fight for marriage equality, but few of the survey respondents in long-term same-sex relationships say new marriage laws have prompted talks about money. Just about a third have started talking about finances as a result of the DOMA decision.
One in five say they never talk about money, while a quarter say they talk about money a lot.
After getting married, only a fraction of couples have talked about serious lifelong financial matters. For instance, just over a quarter, 28 percent, have discussed retirement or investing strategies.
Every couple has their own financial hurdles to clear. Talk about them early and often to make sure your relationship stays in the black.
It's never too early to start talking about money.
When do you think couples should begin discussing retirement and investing?

The present invention relates to printers. In particular, the present invention relates to a printer that tracks and analyzes its usage using a fuzzy logic protocol. More particularly, the present invention relates to a printer capable of suggesting useful packages related to printer usage such as user training, maintenance or support services or hardware and software upgrades based upon the analysis of printer usage.
Printers are well-known computer peripherals widely used in both home and business computing environments. State of the art printers offer ever increasing levels of speed, print quality, easily manipulated format options, and a wide variety of features, such as document collating, stapling, and various levels of print quality. Many printers integrate multiple functions, such as copier, scanner, or facsimile capabilities into the printer. Many printers are sold with the capability to add further functions and features through the installation of software upgrades.
As it is used herein, the term "printer" signifies any device capable of providing printer function alone or, alternatively, any device providing printer function in combination with one or more other document processing functions, such as, for example, copying, scanning, or facsimile capabilities.
Unfortunately, many printers are either under utilized or inefficiently utilized as users do not understand, or are not informed, of potential software upgrades, hardware upgrades, firmware upgrades, printing options, maintenance or service packages, and other printer features that can allow for less expensive or more efficient printer usage. A user must be aware of both the availability of such an item, and that printer usage is of the type that would benefit from an upgrade or training. Learning the details of available upgrades has traditionally required a user to research the manufacturer's website, or printed materials, to examine all available printer related packages and then check their details for desired characteristics. Monitoring printer usage patterns requires users to keep track of all their printing, which is may be impracticable for some networked printers, or to examine and understand the printer event log or usage history files. These activities may be beyond the abilities or merely beyond the "comfort level" of a casual computer user.
A system, including a printer, that monitored printer usage and suggested to the user, or to a network administrator, maintenance packages, other downloads or user training to make printer usage more efficient or reduce printing costs, would thus be an improvement in the art.
Traditional Aristotlean Logic includes the proposition of the law of the excluded middle, that every proposition must be either true or false, a binary system. While the application of this principle in mathematics and engineering has allowed for much of their precision and success, it is often unable to capture the details of an inherently vague decision making process. Attempts to capture intuitive decision making processes have required the development of alternative methodologies.
Fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems were proposed by Lofti A. Zadeh in the seminal articles Fuzzy Sets, Info. & Ctl, Vol. 8, pp. 338-353 (1965) and Fuzzy Algorithms, Info. & Ctl., Vol. 12, pp. 94-102 (1968), which are incorporated by reference herein. In place of the traditional binary logic, False and True (0 and 1), fuzzy logic uses an infinite valued logic over the range of Absolutely True to Absolutely False (0.0 to 1.0). The manipulation of values within this system allows for inherently vague processes to be controlled in a manner similar to classic logic, while maintaining the inherent intuitive features of the processes. Fuzzy logic control systems take a series of data inputs, convert them into fuzzy values (fuzzification), analyze those values according to a series of algorithms or rules, and result in an output based upon that analysis (defuzzification). Complex processes where a number of inputs and variables are used to create a measurable output, are especially suited for fuzzy logic control.
Fuzzy logic and fuzzy logic systems are increasingly used in control mechanisms for mechanical devices. Examples of systems where fuzzy logic control have proved successful include environmental controls for electronic equipment housing and cement processing equipment. Fuzzy systems have even been used to control laser power and scorotron voltage to optimize print quality in a laser printer, as detailed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,812 to Hopkins, issued Jun. 2, 1998, which is herein incorporated by reference. While the incorporation of fuzzy logic into these systems has allowed for more precise and faster control of the mechanisms of these devices, it has not provided for the development of methods or systems to improve the functioning of the controlled device through the selection of support, upgrades, maintenance or other optional services based upon the usage of the device. Inclusion of this feature in a printer, or a method providing such controlled selection in connection with printer would constitute an improvement in the art.
The present invention addresses the forgoing needs by providing a printer capable of providing monitoring its usage and suggesting upgrades, maintenance packages, user training or other changes based upon patterns of usage. In one preferred embodiment, the printer tracks printer usage relative to the features of the printer and the type of print jobs performed. The printer then selects an appropriate training package based upon the tracked usage. A message is then generated sent to a network administrator, or other user, suggesting the selected training package.
The present invention provides a system and methods for improving and maintaining the efficiency of printer use by providing a system that monitors and tracks the usage of the various features of a printer. Using a fuzzy logic protocol, the tracked usage is analyzed and potential upgrades, support services, training procedures, or other packages are selected and suggested to improve printer efficiency.

When present, Web server 12 may preferably provide one or more Web server functions to requesting users linked by way of one or more of the various networks (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.). Such embodiments may thus be conceptually similar to the printer apparatus configured with an embedded Web server described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,956,487 to Venkatraman et al., assigned to the assignee of the present invention, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Microprocessor 20 is provided with memory 22 in the form of RAM 21 and/or hard disk memory 14, which may be associated with the print cache of printer 10, or which may be provided separately from the print cache. As used herein, printer memory designated for temporarily or permanently storing one or more print jobs on hard disk memory 14 or other data storage device in printer 10 is referred to as "job retention" 25. In certain embodiments, a percentage of memory 22 in printer 10 may be dedicated to Web server 12. Alternatively, Web server 12 may share the available memory 22 in printer 10 with the print cache. Typically, printer 10 will be equipped with a minimum of 64 megabytes of RAM 21, although less RAM may be used in certain configurations.
Microprocessor 20 is configured to follow a set of instructions either embedded therein, or stored in memory 22, to track the usage of different characteristics of printer 10 and select among possible options for improving printing usage to make suggestions to a user of the printer 10. Preferably, microprocessor 20 of printer 10 is further configured to translate coded language received from printer drivers of networked workstations into a bit-mapped image format (raster image format), and to store the translated print files in high capacity memory storage (i.e., job retention 25). Thus, the resulting "RIP'ed" print jobs, representing graphical images of text or drawings along with associated print attributes, are stored in job retention 25 as "print ready files."
In embodiments including a Web server 12, it is preferred that microprocessor 20 be responsible for controlling the all aspects of Web server 12. Thus, microprocessor 20 may be configured to process communication protocols and executable programs associated with Web server 12 which are stored in ROM (not shown) and/or hard disk memory 24. In one preferred embodiment, Web server 12 uses microprocessor 20 and the ROM-stored protocols to exchange data with other devices/users on one or more of the networks via Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), although other protocols such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Gopher document protocol may also be supported. Web server 12 may further be configured to send and receive HTML formatted files. In addition to being linked to a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), printer 10 may be linked directly to the Internet via network interface 16 and communication links 18 attached thereto.
Printer 10 will preferably contain executable software programs stored on hard disk 24 related to the operation of printer specific hardware. Hard disk 24 may also contain printer specific software programs relating to the operation of Web server 12, in those embodiments including a Web server 12. Alternatively, a separate hard disk (not shown) may optionally be provided with the requisite software programs for printing.
Mechanical components 28 of printer 10 are the mechanisms that are used to handle paper, to print documents, to assemble documents or to provide other additional functional characteristics to the printer 10. Mechanical components 28 may include the paper feeding mechanism, the inkjets of an inkjet printer, the laser scanning assembly and revolving drum and other associated mechanisms of a laser printer, other printing mechanisms known to those skilled in the art (now or in the future), a document collator, a document binder, a stapler, or any other mechanical component that may be included in a printer 10 to increase its functionality.
Referring now to drawing
An external computer 42 includes an I/O interface 46 that allows connections to be made to a computer network, including an Internet or other connection, similar to network interface 16 discussed above. External computer 42 includes a microprocessor 50, which is provided with a memory 52. Memory 52 preferably includes RAM 55 and hard disk 54. Memory 52 may also include any other data storage devices or systems that are useful in practicing the present invention. Preferably, external computer 42 functions as a web server that may communicate with printer 10 by conveying messages over network 30 via gateway 38.
Making reference to
In a typical printing process over a network environment, such as network 30, a user at a computer workstation 36 typically uses print driver software to load documents or images into a buffer (usually an area on a disk of a workstation 36), where a printer 10 pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. The print driver functions to convert the text, graphics and print attributes specified by the user's workstation 36 into a set of codes that the printer 10 can translate and/or read. The set of codes is typically a version of Printer Control Language (PCL), developed by Hewlett-Packard for its dot-matrix, inkjet, and LaserJet series printers. The version of PCL most commonly used as the printer coding language is Page Description Language (PDL). Once the text, graphics and print attributes have been converted to PDL, the PDL is transmitted by the workstation 36 over the network 30 where it is received by the printer 10 as a "print job."Examples of PDLs include Hewlett Packard's HP-GL/2 language and Adobe's PostScript 7.
As the printer 10 receives the coded language from the print driver, it stores the information in high capacity memory storage (job retention 25), which typically comprises random-access memory (RAM 21) or hard disk 24. A stored print job thus comprises of one or more electronically stored files and the print attributes associated therewith. Before a typical print job (e.g., a PDL file) can be printed, however, its contents must be converted to a bit-mapped image format, also known as a raster image. The raster image is a bit-mapped representation of the document to be printed, with each bit in the bitmap representing the absence or presence of a dot (or pixel) on the printed page. A raster image processor ("RIP") in the printer 10 typically translates PDL files to a raster image, also called a "RIP'ed" version of the file. Thus, the print files include data representing graphical images and the RIP'ed version is generated from the print file. Typically, print jobs are RIP'ed before storage in job retention 25, making them "print ready files." In some cases, print jobs are received by the printer 10 in the form of raster image data. In that case, a processor 20 in the printer 10 may engage in pixel image manipulation when storing the print job. The printer 10 then uses the data in the print ready file to control the mechanical printing components 28 and the printing steps, such as paper feeding, controlling the inkjets of an inkjet printer or the laser scanning assembly and revolving drum and other associated mechanism of a laser printer.
As discussed above, the text, graphics and print attributes specified by the user's workstation 36 must be converted into a set of codes that the printer 10 can translate and/or read. The codes thus contain instructions for each feature of printer 10 that will be utilized in processing and printing the print job. The present invention includes a system and methods of tracking the usage of these features and suggesting printer related packages based upon such usage.
Turning to
The UCD is "fuzzified" or transformed for use in a fuzzy logic protocol, as depicted in box 64. It is preferred that this be performed by microprocessor 20 following a set of instructions. The fuzzification process takes the raw UCD and presents it in a form that may be used in a fuzzy logic protocol, assigning a numeric value to its aspects. This process will be explained with the following examples, although it will be appreciated that this technique may be used with any desired UCD. It will be further appreciated that the several protocols for fuzzifying data are known in the art and any such protocol may be used and is within the scope of the present invention.
For a first example, one desired feature to be tracked is the per page usage of toner in a document. This may be measured by several UCDs including: the average toner density per page, the average total toner used per page, the average percentage of the printable page on which toner is disposed, or other suitable measures. Assuming the percentage of page on which toner is disposed is a desired UCD, each page of a print job will have toner disposed on between 0% and 100% of the printable area of the page. A fuzzy value set is created with 0% toner per printable page area at 0.0 and 100% toner per printable page area at 1.0. The average per page for each print job may be calculated and a corresponding fuzzy value assigned. A print job with an average of 40% toner per printable page area would thus have a fuzzy value of 0.4.
As a second example, another desired UCD may be the use of the printer 10 to create multiple copies of the same document. If the printing of 7 or more copies of the same document is considered to constitute a high usage of this feature, a fuzzy value set can be created with 1 copy per print job set at 0.0 and 7 copies per print job set at 1.0. The fuzzy value for a print job may thus be calculated and assigned. A print job that results in 4 copies of the document would thus have a fuzzy value of 0.57.
A third example, the age of the version of the printer driver in use on the printer may be another desired UCD. A fuzzy value set may be created with the most recent version of the printer driver, with a installation date corresponding to the present may be set at 1.0 and an earlier version of the printer driver with an installation date of four years prior to the present may be set at 0.0. The fuzzy value for the age of the print driver may this be calculated and assigned. A print driver installed 2.5 years ago would thus have a fuzzy value of 0.375.
It will be appreciated that any UCD can be tracked and any fuzzification process can be used on the tracked data following protocols similar to the above examples. All such fuzzification processes are within the scope of the present invention.
The UCD data is stored in a memory 22, as shown in box 66. It will be appreciated that the fuzzification of the UCD data may be performed prior to storage, as a part of the storage process or upon extraction of the data from storage at a later time. Preferably, UCD data is stored in a memory 22 on printer 10, although it will be appreciated that this data may be stored elsewhere. Preferably, the UCD data for each characteristic is stored for each print job that is received by the printer 10. Alternatively, average values for each UCD may be stored and revised at each print job.
Information on available packages is obtained. In one preferred embodiment, this information is embedded within the memory 22 of the printer 10. In another preferred embodiment, this information is obtained at periodic intervals by being downloaded from the internet. On example of this second preferred embodiment would occur on a printer 10 equipped with web server 12. At the periodic interval (such as the end of a week, month, or calendar quarter) the web server 12 communicates with server 42 over the communications link 18 and network 30 (which may include the internet), downloading information on available packages. Preferably this information includes a formula that can be calculated from UCD scores yielding and ideal score that corresponds to the ideal situation the package is intended to improve. More preferably, the information contains a summary of the package and instructions on obtaining the package.
The fuzzified UCD data is analyzed, as shown in box 70. Preferably, this is accomplished by the microprocessor of printer 10. The analysis is preferably performed by microprocessor 20 following a set of instructions, and may occur in several ways. In some preferred embodiments, a formula for UCD scores is downloaded with each available package, each of these formulas is calculated yielding a number of scores. In some alternative embodiments, a single standardized formula score may be calculated resulting in a single score. In other embodiments, the fuzzified UCD scores may be merely transformed into average fuzzy values for each UCD.
Once the fuzzified UCD data has been analyzed, a package is selected, as shown in box 72. In embodiments where a single formula is used to calculate a single score, the single score is compared to the scores corresponding to each available package. The numerically closest score corresponds to the selected package. It will be appreciated that in such embodiments, the single score may be calculated prior to downloading information on available packages. In such embodiments, only information on a selected package may need to be downloaded by the printer 10. In other preferred embodiments where a number of scores are calculated corresponding to each available package, each calculated score is compared to the corresponding ideal score for that package. In other embodiments, the average fuzzified UCD scores may be directly compared to a number of ideal UCD scores that accompany each available package. The package having the least difference between the calculated score and the ideal score is then selected.
To further clarify the analysis process and the selection process, the following examples are presented. It will be appreciated that these examples are illustrative only and do not limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the claims.
Assuming a UCD for a paper stapling device, a mechanical component 28 of a printer 10, has a calculated fuzzified value of 0.1 and a UCD for multiple page jobs has a calculated fuzzified value of 0.9. One possible training package for the printer 10 centers on the use of the collating and binding functions of the printer 10. The fuzzy selection calculation for this package is the fuzzy value of the UCD of the paper stapling device subtracted from the fuzzified value of the UCD of multiple page jobs. The ideal score for selection is 0.9. During analysis the printer 10 calculates this score as 0.9−0.1=0.8. This is compared to the ideal score and the difference of 0.1 is calculated. Similarly, the difference for the other available packages is calculated. The package with the least difference is selected. Assuming the collating and binding training package has the least difference between the calculated score and ideal score, it is then selected. Alternatively three, five or another number of packages with differences in decreasing order may be selected to generate a list of selected packages.
An additional example, assuming a UCD for the number of pages printed on the printer 10, has a calculated fuzzified value of 0.2 and a UCD for a maintenance and support package is 0.9 (corresponding to contracted printer support with a cost calculated on a monthly basis). Information on support packages currently in use, including a fuzzified UCD value, may be downloaded by the printer 10, kept track of through software or obtained by any other method known to those skilled in the art. One possible maintenance and support package for the printer 10 provides printer support on a per page cost basis. The fuzzy selection criteria for this package is a fuzzy value for the UCD of the number of pages printed of lesser than or equal to 0.2 and a fuzzified value of the UCD of the maintenance and support package of greater than or equal to 0.8. During analysis the printer 10 compares these UCD values to the ideal UCD values and the differences are calculated. Similarly, the difference for the other available packages is calculated. The package which most closely resembles the ideal scores for the package is selected. Assuming no other package is more appropriate, this package is selected. Alternatively, a number of packages which are indicated may be selected as a list of the three, five or other number of most appropriate packages.
For a third example, assume that fuzzified UCD values are calculated for various aspects having to do with toner usage by the printer 10. Scores for average toner density, average printed page area, printing of text documents versus graphic documents, and other characteristics affecting toner usage may be calculated. Information on various packages for toner usage is embedded or downloaded. Formula calculations and ideal scores designed to maximize print quality with reduced toner usage are associated with each package. Calculated scores are generated and compared to the ideal scores for each toner usage package. The toner usage package with the least difference between the calculated score and the ideal score is selected. For example, if the printer 10 calculates the least difference between a toner "miser" package that reduces the amount of toner used per page is suited to the printer usage, this package is selected. Installation of the selected "miser" package will reduce the costs of printing. Alternatively, if the printer 10 calculates the least difference between the calculated score and the ideal score for a toner "graphics" package which uses more toner per page, while optimizing the appearance of printed graphic images, then that package will be selected. Installation of this package will increase the acceptability of printed documents.
It will be appreciated that a printer 10 using the methods of the present invention may be used to track any desired UCDs and select packages that are associated with those UCDs to improve printer 10 usage and user satisfaction therewith. The methods and systems of the present invention can thus be used to select and suggest packages for firmware upgrades, user training, support and maintenance services, and any other packages that may be used to increase printer functionality, quality or reduce costs.
Once a package is selected, it is suggested to a user of the printer 10. In network printing environments, this user is typically the network administrator, although any suitable user may be selected. This may be accomplished by conveying a message containing information on the selected package, or list of selected packages, to the user. The message may be generated as an email message that is conveyed to the user over the network using SMTP or another suitable protocol. In embodiments of printer 10 that include web server 12, it is preferred that web server 12 be used to assemble and convey the message over the network. It will be appreciated that any other suitable method for conveying a message containing details of a selected package to the user may be used to suggest the selected package or list of selected packages to the user, and all such methods are within the scope of the present invention.
In some possible alternative embodiments, selected packages may be installed for use on the printer 10 directly, rather than suggested to a user. In these embodiments, the possible packages may be retained in the memory 22 of the printer 10. When a package is selected, it is accessed from the memory 22 and installed. In other embodiments, the selected package may be downloaded by the printer 10, using web server 12 to access and download the package from a remote computer 42 over the network 30 and/or the internet. This may be accomplished using FTP or another suitable protocol. Once the package is downloaded, it may be installed as known in the art. This allows printer efficiency to be maintained and improved without the need for action by a user.
Accordingly, the present invention includes a method of suggesting packages to improve printer usage based upon the actual usage of the printer 10. Such a method comprises conveying a print job to a printer 10 including one or more functional characteristics, where the print job requires the utilization of at least one functional characteristic; assigning a numerical value to the degree of utilization of the at least one functional characteristic; maintaining that numerical value in the printer memory 22; accessing information on a number of packages; comparing the information to the numerical value in order to select a preferred package; and then suggesting that preferred package to a user of the printer 10. The packages may be maintenance and support packages, training packages, or any other package of information that may be used to improve user's knowledge of the printer, improve printer efficiency or reduce printing costs.
Preferably, the print job will require the use of a number of the functional characteristics of the printer 10, requiring that individual numerical values be assigned for the degree of utilization of each of the functional characteristics that are used; and the maintenance of the individual numerical values in the printer memory 22. Comparing the information to the maintained numerical values for such embodiments may further comprise analyzing the individual numerical values to select based upon a number of said individual values. This may be done by inputting the individual numerical values into a formula to arrive at an output value and then selecting the preferred package based upon that output value.
Similarly, the present invention also includes a method of tracking printer usage to suggest appropriate packages to improve or maintain printer efficiency. This method comprises tracking usage of functional characteristics of a printer 10 in a computer memory 22; assigning fuzzy value scores to the usage of each of those functional characteristics; accessing information on a selection of packages of information that may be used to improve printer efficiency or reduce printing costs, including individual selection scores for each package; comparing the fuzzy value scores to the selection scores to select a preferred package; and suggesting the preferred package to a user of the printer 10.
It is preferred that suggesting the selected package be accomplished by sending an email to the user detailing the availability of the package. The information on the packages may be embedded in the printer memory 22 or downloaded from a network server 42 attached to the internet. The comparison of the fuzzy value scores to the selection scores may be done by directly comparing the fuzzy value scores for each functional characteristic to the selected scores for each package or by inputting the fuzzy values into a formula to arrive at an output value and then selecting the preferred package based upon that output value. The formula may be the same for each package, or may differ for each package.
The embodiments and figures provided and described herein do not limit the scope of the present invention. In each of its various embodiments, the system and methods of the present invention provides enhanced utility by increasing the efficiency or reducing the cost of using a printer based upon the actual usage of that printer, and the present invention may be carried out using embodiments different from those specifically described herein. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the description provided by the present specification, but is defined by the appended claims.

Chuck Todd Conquers the Globe
Or at least one guy in Europe.
It's good to see that, despite the attention paid to President Obama on his inaugural European tour, at least someone over there recognized the real international star in attendance. "OVERHEARD, in heavily accented English," reports Jonathan Martin in Mike Allen's Playbook, "yells from the Prague square where President Obama spoke yesterday: 'We love you, Chuck Todd!'"

Click on the link here Map
Go to "Additions", then "Marker-Simple"
Add in your screenname and where you are from, then you can pick the color marker you want and then click submit and it will add you to the map.
Have fun. This will be a better way of keep track of where everyone is as well and you can roll over a marker to see the person and where they are.

Antisense as a field hasn't been around that long so it's hard to predict how well it will work out as a drug platform. I doubt a person with research experience would make a prediction at this point. It is clear however that small RNA's play an important role in regulating gene expression. Very encouraging as is today's proof of principle.

Member chef Susan Feniger at Trash Fish Las Vegas, summer 2013
More than 90% of the seafood Americans eat is imported. Most of the seafood we eat comes from somewhere else, and it's typically cheap farmed tilapia, salmon and shrimp. What's more, almost one-third of the fish we catch here is exported, high-value wild species. Our backwards seafood system threatens wild fisheries and fishing communities.
The role of the chef in sustainable seafood: Chefs and food professionals have enormous buying power, and this power means that what chefs and food professionals choose to buy for their restaurants and businesses can shift demand for products, open new markets, and influence consumers. Through collective purchasing decisions, chefs and food professionals have the power to help build a strong demand for a better seafood system, and shape the way that seafood is consumed in the U.S.
Take action:
- Learn about the recovery of the West Coast groundfish fishery – and source this fish for your restaurant or business.
- Organize a Trash Fish educational fundraising dinner. Learn more and sign up to host one!
- Host a Story of Sockeye workshop. Contact us for more information. Coming fall 2015.
More about Trash Fish Dinners:
Chefs are collaborating in cities across the U.S. to host Trash Fish educational fundraising dinners that are designed to promote under-appreciated and underutilized fish species in order to create demand for them. These dinners inspire and educate consumers and fellow chefs that there's no such thing as so-called "trash fish." To date, we've held Trash Fish Dinners in Boston (2013 & 2014), Denver, Chicago (2014 & 2015), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, OR, and Sarasota.
Do you want to host a Trash Fish educational fundraising dinner near you? Please contact us for more information! Toolkit coming July 2015.
More about Story of Sockeye Workshops:
For several years, Chefs Collaborative has partnered with the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA) to help tell the story of wild U.S. sockeye, educating thousands of diners and seafood buyers on the critical importance of the Bristol Bay fishery and the threats that it faces.
To continue to promote the story of wild sockeye, and help keep the pressure on the EPA to protect Bristol Bay, we're working with the BBRSDA to host Story of Sockeye Workshops, for chefs and food professionals, and dinners, for the public, in two U.S. cities this fall. More details coming soon!

SX20 IS Great Hybrid Camera For Video And Stills,
This review is from: Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-Inch Articulating LCD (Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Camera)
Let me start off by saying that I'm not a professional photographer. My decision to purchase the SX20 IS was based on a desire to get an excellent still shot camera, with high capacity zoom, that also had HD Video (720p) capabilities. So, I began my research and spent many hours scouring the web to make an informed decision. I had narrowed my choice to the Canon SX20 IS and the Panasonic DMC-FZ35.
Here are some of the key specs of each camera:
Optical Zoom (Canon: 20, Pana: 18)
Still image files (Canon: Not Raw, Pana: Raw)
Articulating LCD (Canon: Yes, Pana: No)
720p HD video per 2 GB (Canon: 10 min 33 sec, Pana: 15 min)
Video file format (Canon: .mov, Pana: AVCHD Lite)
Battery Type: (Canon: 4 AA, Pana: Li-ion rechargeable)
Stereo Audio (Both)
SD Card Storage (Both)
In the end I decided to go with Canon for a few key reasons:
#1. The articulating LCD (pull out, tilt/move) was a key factor, as I wanted to be able to shoot from many different angles. It came in handy very soon--the second time I used the camera--I was able to whip out the LCD and get some decent shots at a football game when I had to raise the camera high over my head to shoot over the folks standing in front of me.
#2. The ability to easily share video files. The .mov file format is a more widely accepted format, which can easily be shared (without processing/conversion). The files are accepted on sites such as You Tube. The files can be played with Quicktime and other media players (e.g. VLC). Although the Panasonic camera uses a format which is more compressed and allows more data to be stored on an SD card, the file format is not as wide spread and not as easy to share with others, without converting the file.
#3. Consumer Reports rankings for last year's model: Canon #1, Pana #5 (SX10 IS & Pana DMC-FZ28). I suspect the SX20 IS will follow the same trend this year when Consumer Reports releases their test results for 2009.
#4. Canon takes AA batteries. This makes the camera slightly heavier, but you'll always be able to get economical batteries in a pinch, without the need for buying a proprietary lithium ion battery. May I recommend Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries. I bought some new on Amazon. They are excellent. I haven't charged them yet and I've taken 120 pictures and 40 minutes plus of 720p video. I've also played back the pictures and movies on my TV/Projector and transferred all files to my computer, using the same batteries, without charging them. And they are "..still going..."
Here are some sample pictures taken with the SX20 IS. Keep in mind that Flickr doesn't display the full, original picture which was taken in maximum resolution (in auto mode). [...].
I've taken some great up-close family shots and macro shots. They look great and are very detailed. I took some night/action pics (with the flash) and adjusted the shutter speed and ISO settings and the pictures looked great, given the conditions.
I apologize for the camera jitter in advance as I didn't have a tri-pod and I was in a tight area in the Stadium when I took the shots.
I must admit that I am thoroughly impressed with the video quality/resolution. I shot sample video from my 1 year old camcorder (Panasonic SDR-H40, a standard definition hard drive camcorder) and shot the same footage with the SX20 IS. The difference in quality was amazing. Not only was the Canon much sharper, but the richness and vibrance of the colors was so much better. I sold my SDR-H40 on Ebay within two days. I now will have only one camera to shoot stills and 720p HD video--the Canon SX20 IS. The videos from the SX20 IS looked awesome--on both my 32 inch 720p LCD and my 100+ inch screen via a 720p DLP projector. I connected the camera with an HDMI cable and bam, I was ready to watch great video and view still shots "on the big screen." See the above referenced links for video footage yourself. If I were given the opportunity to watch a football game shot in standard definition by ESPN or an HD version of the same game, shot with the SX20 IS (on a tripod, without my hand jitter), I'd pick the latter in a heart beat.
No buyer's remorse here! If you are looking for an SLR type camera, that does awesome stills and great 720p HD video (both zoomable at 20x optical), you'd be hard pressed to get more bang for your buck then the SX20 IS on Amazon.
One minor issue I've noticed is that when zooming in/out while shooting video, you can here a slight "click" when you initiate the zoom and when you stop the zoom. There is NO noise heard while the lens is zooming/telescoping in/out; the "click" is only heard when the zoom is initiated and when the zoom is stopped. The "click" is not that noticeable. I had to shoot footage in silence, after the kids had gone to bed, in order to distinguish the "click." In most shooting environments I don't expect it to be much of an issue.
Best of luck with your purchase decision.
P.S. By the way, the owner manual states that you must use the Canon software to transfer images/movies from the camera to a PC, else movies will not transfer (frames will be dropped) correctly and images shot vertically may be transferred in the horizontal orientation. So, don't just do a copy/paste of the files them self from the SD card. Keep this in mind as you view sample video on the web.

photoaddict says:
So does the camera come with a USB cord to transfer directly from the camera to the PC? Have they changed this? I have the SX10 and this is the easiest way to get photos on the computer. The orientation can be set to automatically rotate the images. Did the SX20 remove this feature? I would think this is something that they wouldn't remove. Even if it doesn't auto rotate them, you could still do it manually in Windows Live Photo Gallery. I am on my third canon Powershot and all of them you could do a simple direct transfer from the camera to the PC with the provided USB cord.
In reply to an earlier post on Sep 8, 2009 5:44:50 PM PDT
Yes, the camera comes with a USB. Yes, images can be rotated and imported.

i found that the click during video zooming comes from your finger snapping off the zoom trigger. if you gently release your finger from zooming, the click is no longer an issue!

Just so you know you can use mov type file for pana 35 also. It is a option between which you choose the AVCHD or the mov type. just found that out few days ago when i was playing around with my pana fz35.

Andrea says:
Can you tell me if there is a delay when taking pictures? (How fast does the camera take the picture from when you push the button?) Don't know the technical term, but basically I don't want a delay when I go to take a picture...want it to be instantaneous.)
In reply to an earlier post on Sep 10, 2009 7:30:31 PM PDT
Thanks for the insight J. Choi.
In reply to an earlier post on Sep 10, 2009 7:48:54 PM PDT
It does very well. It's pretty close to instantaneous. As I'm sure you are aware, the SX20 IS is the new model, which replaced the SX10 IS. Regarding the SX10 IS, www.consumerreports.org stated: "..It performs very well, with very short next-shot delay and short first-shot delay." The SX10 IS camera tied a few other cameras for the highest awarded mark first-shot delay, amongst the tested, super-zoom cameras (while the DMC-FZ28 tied some other cameras in receiving the lowest awarded mark). I'm anxiously awaiting consumer reports' review of the SX20 IS. As with all decent cameras, the shutter is designed to be pressed half-way in order to focus on the subject. Then once pressed the 2nd time (after the half-way mark), the shutter sound is heard immediately and the picture is taken/processed immediately.

The clicking noise is real and comes from the lens going in and out. It is noticeable. The microphones are right by the lens so it easily picks up the noise. The microphones are very good.

5month screaming and crying non stop
Comments (4)
That is so hard going! I would love to be able to tell you the reason and what to do but it could be a number of things, i.e. wind, gas, silent reflux, dairy intolerance...
I can only suggest that you take her to your Dr to try and get a diagnosis of what might be causing her discomfort. Babies have a reason for crying especially for hours on end.
Does it happen straight after a feed? Is she well burped? Pooing regularly? Take note of times it happens and how long after feeding.
Hang in there and remember that this will be a temporary stage. I hope you get some answers soon and ask friends and family for support.
I agree, go to your doctor and don't take "she is a colicky baby" as an answer. My first was just as you describe and much later we found out she had silent reflux. The poor girl was in pain the whole time. Babies are building their sense of security by what they experience so I would not suggest letting her cry it out unless you need a few minutes for a sanity break. I would insist on a trial of reflux meds and suggest you try getting off of dairy or dairy and sugar if you are nursing. Hang in there and insist on answers for you and for your poor baby!

Good so far
This review is from: Athena Power AP-RRP4ATX6708 ATLAS 700 PLUS Server Power Supply w/ 80+ Bronze
Pros: Redundant power supply. Lots of connectors with good lengths. Voltages look stable in BIOS. I can turn off one module and the other picks up the slack, just like it should.
Cons: n/a
Other Thoughts: I haven't done any load testing on this unit yet, but so far everything looks solid.

Not what I thought
This review is from: Athena Power AP-RRP4ATX6708 ATLAS 700 PLUS Server Power Supply w/ 80+ Bronze
Pros: All voltage lines tested well when I received mine (using a new 24-pin digital tester I also got from NewEgg), and this thing looks well-made. I like the assortment of cable connectors and cable length (not excessively short or long for my purposes), plus the fact that the hot-swap modules are held in place with a single screw so as not to be pulled out accidentally. It was packaged securely in the kind of polymer foam brackets that are used now for sensitive electronics, so no worries about damage or static... I'm always happy to see that kind of packaging. I was excited about the prospect of being able to order a dual, hot-swappable power supply for a DIY server using mainstream ATX formfactor parts.
Cons: Maybe I'm forgetting something, and ATX vs. micro-ATX PSUs do not mount the same way. The model name of this PSU, which was listed correctly by NewEgg and was on the box I received as well, contains the designation "ATX". This led me to believe I could get this to fit PSU bays that other ATX power supplies fit in, but this PSU is not physically compatible with my build: Although it is the perfect size HxWxD for the PSU bay in the 4U server chassis I'm using, with or without the ATX bracket on the exterior there is no way to get this PSU to align with any screw holes or even get the power switches to clear the chassis opening. It simply does not fit the exterior opening in back, bottom line. The PSU bay in this chassis is just like any other ATX tower PSU bay, despite this being a 4U chassis. The power connectors themselves are 24-pin ATX etc, but I'm not sure how this is suppose to mount in an ATX PSU bay... unless micro-ATX is not the same.
Other Thoughts: Back to school with me, I'm assuming this is my error and not dinging an egg for it. I received what was advertized, I must just be wrong about the form factor. Either that or I'm going crazy. Either way, I hope this is useful to you. If you know what you're getting, this looks to be a well-made product.

Atlantic Coast Financial Corp Stock Downgraded (ACFC)
TheStreet) -- Atlantic Coast Financial (Nasdaq: ACFC) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share.Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. NEW YORK (
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 2249.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$0.29 million to -$6.88 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry and the overall market, ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL CP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL CP is rather low; currently it is at 22.32%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -83.73% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- The share price of ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL CP has not done very well: it is down 6.61% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL CP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL CP reported poor results of -$2.86 versus -$2.67 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.09 versus -$2.86).

Michael Schumacher finally broke the victory duck that has hung over both himself and Ferrari since the start of the 2003 Formula One season, but felt unable to celebrate at Imola following the death of his mother overnight.
There was no traditional leap of joy, no smile and no champagne shower, merely a wave of a black banded sleeve on a difficult day for the world champion and his family.

Jeankasa - Wound by mimeraWatch
©2013-2016 mimera
A thing I did for the Jeankasa week! The theme was "wound" and as uncreative as I am I just made Mikasa aiding jean's wound.
Should I mark this as mature content(because of the blood??) I don't know, to me it doesn't even look real so I guess it's okey (message me if you disagree >.<)

I haven't taken my prenatal vitamin or DHA pill in over two weeks. I've been so sick and they make me feel a lot worse, even if I take them at night. I feel bad about it but I just can't stand the thought of making my nausea worse. Anyone else feel the same?
Not Taking Vitamins and Feel So Guilty!
Mommy to Alex (5.19.08) and Sienna (2.22.10)
Thats pretty horrible. Arent you aware of the effects of not taking at least folic acid. Take them in the middle of the night when you get up to pee. There is no excuse for not taking them

... and then you watch "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" on TLC and realize that... ignorance could be bliss. Some of those women did far worse than just not take a form of prenatal vitamin... some smoked, drank, took birth control...
Obviously, since we know we are pregnant, we are required to be responsible. I didn't take mine for a week and a half. They make me too sick. I grabbed a folic acid pill just now, cause what Moraly wrote convicted me...
There is joy in the Lord!

My prenatals made me sick for my ENTIRE first pg. I took them only on occasion and my DH is fine.
It is NOT the end of the world to skip. They are mostly for you anyway, baby will take what he needs from you.
ignore negative comment above, and the folic acid is actually most critical in the first 2-4 weeks when baby is first dividing

Have you tried any other types of prenatals? I know I was just taking some generic Target prenatals, and when they ran out switched to a different kind that was more like a gel pill. Well, some pretty intense vomiting ensued from the new ones. So I went back to Target and bought the kind I'd had before, and voila! A world of difference. Someone also recommended Flinstones vitamins. Just take what you can handle, even if it's a Flinstones vitamin, it's something!
"I dont swim in the mainstream... it's polluted"
My midwife told me it would be fine to stop the prenatals if they are making me too nauseous. She did say I should at least try to take folic acid, which are really small. I plan on going back on my prenatals in another few days. I only stopped because I had to go on antibiotics for GBS and they are making me really sick to my stomach and right now it is more important for me to take the antibiotics than the prenatals. Skipping a week isn't going to hurt anything.
Crunchy SAHM to Kayleigh 5/4/08 and Miles 2/24/10.
I've had really bad morning sickness too, and the prenatals were making me so so sick. So my doctor told me to take 2 of the flintstone chewable vitamins with iron once a day till the morning sickness gets better. Maybe that could help? :)

I would NOT worry! If you can eat healthy that is better for you anyway. I did NOT take them with my 3rd child and everything was fine. I agree with PP, the baby will take what it needs from you anyway :)
I had the same problem! My husband keeps getting mad at me because I kept "accidentally" skipping a day. They were just making me feel so sick. I finally realized that it was the DHA part of my prenatal that was making me feel sick. I don't know if your prenatals have the multivitamin and the DHA pill separately, but I tried to just take the multivitamin part and that did not make me feel as sick as taking both pills. I have been trying to drink milk and eat eggs fortified with DHA and Omega-3's to try to make up for not taking the DHA pill, and maybe every 3 or 4 days, I'll take the DHA pill separately. I just think that when I take both together, my body just wants to get rid of it and I feel totally nauseated. I started doing this 2 weeks ago, and I really have felt much better. Hope this helps.
FTM - Expecting a baby GIRL on: 2/12/2010
that was a horribly rude comment posted above. I stopped taking mine also for 2 weeks while on vacation because they made me so sick. I talked to my midwife about it and I even said, should I be worried about the baby's development now since I skipped 2 weeks? And she said absolutely not! She said that the most important thing to be getting right now is folic acid which I could take alone and then once i get over the sickness phase (if I do) that I could try to resume the vitamins. She also suggested going to whole foods because they have other vitamins there that may be more gentle. Indeed I found a brand that said gentle on stomach and I have been takin them since with no problems. It is not the end of the world that you missed 2 weeks. Do not stress about it! The baby gets what it needs!

On his mission!!! He flew out to Provo this morning. He's the first one in our family to go. I am so scared, I keep crying just thinking about it. I am so scared people will be mean to him and slam the door in his face. I am just so scared. I know it will be awesome, but it's crazy. I just can't believe he's doing it! Tell me he'll be OK. And if you are in the Denver North Mission, PM me!

Amoxicillin 875
Posted by Oswald Chambers under My for His Highest
Comments Off on Amoxicillin 875
Amoxicillin 875, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Mark 9:29.
"Why could not we cast him out?" The answer lies in a personal relationship to Jesus Christ. 500mg Amoxicillin 875, This kind can come forth by nothing but by concentration and redoubled concentration on Him. We can ever remain powerless, as were the disciples, Amoxicillin 875 coupon, by trying to do God's work not in concentration on His power, Amoxicillin 875 usa, but by ideas drawn from our own temperament. We slander God by our very eagerness to work for Him without knowing Him.
You are brought face to face with a difficult case and nothing happens externally, and yet you know that emancipation will be given because you are concentrated on Jesus Christ, Amoxicillin 875. This is your line of service—to see that there is nothing between Jesus and yourself, 1000mg Amoxicillin 875. Is there. Amoxicillin 875 paypal, If there is, you must get through it, not by ignoring it in irritation, Amoxicillin 875 india, or by mounting up, Amoxicillin 875 mexico, but by facing it and getting through it into the presence of Jesus Christ. Then that very thing, and all you have been through in connection with it, 20mg Amoxicillin 875, will glorify Jesus Christ in a way you will never know till you see Him face to face. 30mg Amoxicillin 875, We must be able to mount up with wings as eagles; but we must also know how to come down. The power of the saint lies in the coming down and the living down. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me, 50mg Amoxicillin 875," said Paul, and the things he referred to were mostly humiliating things. It is in our power to refuse to be humiliated and to say—'No, thank you, I much prefer to be on the mountain top with God.' Can I face things as they actually are in the light of the reality of Jesus Christ, or do things as they are efface altogether my faith in Him, and put me into a panic.

This rifle is absolutely amazing in the accuracy department, and that's where the rubber meets the road for me. The gun holds its own against many of my WAY MORE EXPENSIVE RIFLES. This little rig is shooting DYNAMIC PCP-2 tin pellets, at an average of 879 fps over 15 shots, from shot one, with only a 5 fps spread. Accuracy is running .6 to .7 inch 5 shots at 55 yards. I typically hunt it with my AIRHOG Pigmee tank on my belt, and refill after every 15 shots. The rifle camera combination weigh in right at 8 pounds. I used it all last week for hunting ground squirrels, with my video camera mounted to the scope, and filmed most of my shots from about 30 yards on out to just over 70 yards. The trigger pull is just under three pounds, repeatable, and crisp. Just the way I like it. I have a new stock on it, and that has transformed the gun into a much better balanced and handling rifle. The video clip shows a head shot on a squirrel that was sneaking a peek over the back of an old stump. It was a lasered 56 yards away. I'm not much of a target shooter or plinker, but I live to varmint hunt with my airguns. There is just something about being out in the woods, hunting vermin with guns that are powered by the air that we breath, that I find very challenging and rewarding.Video clip here: http://www.youtube.c...feature=channelPicture of rifle and squirrel featured in above clip.

You've really shown what the Discovery can do Cliff. That stock makes that a whole new gun. Great shooting as always thanks for sharing it with us.
Posted 21 April 2009 - 04:00 PM
Well, she sure doesn't have highly polished or deeply blued metal, but in the accuracy department she SHINES BRIGHTLY, and in squirrel country, she's "SQUIRREL HELL" resting on a bipod.

I just cnx'ed my order for a Marauder Air Gun. I just received and E-mail saying the price has just gone up to $529.00 if you are one of the lucky ones to get one of the first 100 to be sent out. The rest will be sent out in late May or June. Depending upon the *dealers.* I would be lucky to receive one by Christmas.I don't like jumping thru hoops like they want me to do. I put my name on a list back in Feburary. So what, they want me to believe.I just did order a Disco in .22 caliber. I comes with a foot pump for $399.00. I aready have the tank and filler hose. If this gun is good enough for VarmitAir... It should be good enough for me... I'll bet.
Posted 22 April 2009 - 07:33 AM
I've got one in each caliber. I got them from Mac1 and they both shoot as well as several of my high dollar PCP's. Not to say I have anything against shiny metal and nice walnut, because I don't. I like it as much as the next guy. But if you would like to have fun shooting an accurate air rifle, and not tie up a whole lot of money in the process, it will be very hard to beat the Discovery for bang for the buck.Have fun with it. Mine shoots the 15.8/15.9/16 grain JSB Exacts extremely well. Clean the barrel when you get it. They seem to have a fair amount of crud in them from the factory. At least both of mine did.
Posted 22 April 2009 - 07:51 AM
Thanks, can't wait for prairie dog season to open here mid June. Should be a lot of fun stories and videos to share from hunting those guys.

Still, Thompson hasn't entirely shut out recruiting.
"I have six offers from Minnesota, UNLV, Fresno State, Hawaii, Colorado and Washington State, all as a safety," said Thompson.
And more schools could be getting close.
"Colorado State and Cincinnati like me a lot and I think they could be close to offering," said Thompson. "And a couple of other schools said they wanted to watch my senior year film."
Thompson, who plays on both sides of the ball, said defense is where his heart is.
"Schools just love my contact on the field," said Thompson. "I know most schools want me on defense and they like me at strong safety. Wherever I go, wherever coaches need me to play, I'll play, but I love defense."
Fresno State and Minnesota have been recruiting Thompson the most aggressively, but Minnesota may have a slight edge.
"Minnesota is the only college I've actually seen and I like it a lot," said Thompson. "My brother (Cedric Thompson) is there. Coach (Jerry) Kill has really turned the team around, and now they're bowl eligible and they have a great coaching staff there."
Meanwhile, Fresno State is the closest offer he has to home.
"Fresno State is close to home, but not that close so that is nice," said Thompson.
Thompson said he'll wait until the season ends before setting up his official visits.
"I just started thinking about it, but I think I'm going to wait for whenever the season is officially done," said Thompson. "My brother said take them to places you haven't been. So I probably won't visit Minnesota officially, but I'm 100% sure I'll take all five."

Stove Top Moonshine Still or E85 Distiller
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Alcohol & Smoking
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Dec 15, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
This is a hand crafted homemade stovetop moonshine still or other distilling projects that you may enjoy. The still is made from stainless steel and copper and is lead free; no toxic material was use in the building of the still. The boiler is 20 quart and included with three metal clamps for holding the lid during the process.The Thumper is made from stainless steel, copper and will come apart for easy cleaning. What is a thumper? The thumper acts as your second distiller and purity is improve during the process by using a thumper. The steam coming from the main boiler pot is being passed to the thumper steam intake pipe stack, ( the copper pipe that is on top of the thumper) which condenses to liquid once inside the thumper. This condense liquid rises above the intake outlet and soon the steam will bring the liquid inside the thumper to a boiling point and passing this steam though the copper coil. The liquid inside the thumper is being under the steam intake copper pipe may causes a thumping sound and that is w it gets the name âeoethumperâe The Thumper is made from stainless steel and copper and comes apart for easy cleaning. Note: Do not add water to the thumper during the cooking this will stop the process. Adding a little already made liquor inside the thumper before you start is ok to give it a jump-start. It is better to use blue burning liquor that you have already made from this still. You do not have to use liquor in the thumper it will start working once it becomes as hot as the boiler pot. Do not heat the thumper from a heat source the boiler will heat the thumper. Having a thumper is necessary for the making of pure liquor such as whiskey, vodka, gin, etcâe¦ The only heat source that is apply to the thumper comes from the 20 QT boiler. You can use a propane burner on the boiler pot rather than your kitchen stove. You have ten feet of copper coil that can be adjusted to a propane burner if you decide to use one. You will be getting easy instruction for your new still on how to set it up and using it. Including with your new still are two liquor receipt that works great with this distiller. This distiller can be use for making oils, perfume, vinegar, wine vinegar and ethanol. Making E85 to run in your vehicle can be made from this distiller with a few other supplies . After making your alcohol you need to dry the alcohol and this can be done by using Zeolyle to remove the remaining water from the alcohol. Getting 200 proof alcohol (ethanol), you will need the 3-angstrom size in the Zeolyle. Zeolyle is reusable by drying after using. After drying strain the 200 proof through a fine screen making sure t are no particles in the alcohol.
Next denature the alcohol with gasoline: 85% 200 proof alcohol (ethanol) and 15% gasoline = E85 May need to ship in two parts. International shipping: Shipping International I will label the outside of the package âecookware - Stainless Steelâe. Please use the shipping calculate. INTERNATIONAL ONLY: Once you receive your item and leave a positive feedback I will refund 15% back on shipping cost. Sorry no pickup; shipping only

What indie musician isn't on the New Pornographers' latest album? Together, slated for May 4 release on Matador, features guest spots by Beirut's Zach Condon, St. Vincent's Annie Clark, Okkervil River's Will Sheff, and the horn section from the Dap-Kings. The result is a collection of layered songs, now available for free streaming from NPR until the album's release date. NPR has this to say about the album:
Besides Sasquatch! next month, the New Pornographers don't have any Seattle dates scheduled for their upcoming national tour; the closest they'll play is Vancouver, B.C., on July 15 and Portland on July 16.As much as they vary in tone and origin, each track still exudes a familiar sort of fizzy urgency, complete with hairpin turns, weird bits of wordplay, hooks piled atop hooks and layers of vocal harmonies that make each song sound as if it's shellacked in sunshine.

New equipment purchases
I am going to change my plain 125 gallon into a planted tank. Right now my lighting is to week and Im looking into upgrading a few things.Lighting,Filter,CO2 system,substrates. ETC. I want your absolute ideas on the product i should go with and if i missed anything can you point it out
I need the following suggestions on these following products
Light Fixture and bulbs
CO2 system
Ventilation Fans
base layer(larite, Fertlizer)
I really don't want to spend over $1,000
Is there anything i left out for starting up a planted tank
Fans may or may not be needed, it depends upon the heat generated by the lighting. I use T-5 high output lighting an my large planted tanks. I purchased these fixtures from www.petsolutions.com. I did change my bulbs to a bulb that had a sprectrum more condusive to plant growth.
I use EcoComplete substrate for planted tanks. Purchased at the same site. As was the CO2 system. It cost about $149 for the bottle rig. There is also a paintball tank version.
Filtration is a little on the cotroversial side as I am using (4)Marineland 1140 powerheads running reverse flow on a ugf, along with (2)Fluval 4+ internal power filters, (2)Emperor 400 external power filters, and (2)new Magnum 360 canisters. No carbon in any of the filters. I use a filter media and bio-balls or bio-stars.
C02 is delivered through a wooden bubbler "stone". Ceramic would also work here.
All the above items were purchased at the same place as all of the rest.
The filter I want is
On top of my two power filter rated for 75 gallons each
The lighting I want is
I used Flourite in my tank when everything was dying and it worked great. Within a month all my plants that were dying doubled in size. I constantly kick myself for not waiting to get more in before I set up my new tank and used the Eco Complete stuff since that was all the store had and I thought it would work the same. A month later, I'm loosing plants again.
Alright I'm already in the process of buying the stuff.
I'm ordering the retrofit sunpaq kits lights.
Also I'm ordering the filter with it.
I'm going to buy 110 oz of Latrite as my fertlizer I'm going to mix it will 300 pounds of playsand.
Next thing I'm going to buy is the CO2 system but that will be almost $300 so I'm waiting on that.
Its going to have to happen in steps.
First the lighting and the filter
The new and old lighting combined comes up to 3.5watts per gallon! That's great.
Plus filter on top of my old power filters comes out to the possiblity to filter 300 gallon tank
The next step would be in a couple months(2-3)
The latrite and play sand would be $50
300 pounds of play sand from home depot or ace hardware or lowes. Cost $24
Latrite on line cost about $17 for 110 Oz reccomended for 1oz a gallon.
Maybe a CO2 system within the year
I will see about the CO2 but is it needed?

Long story short, DD is MSPI. I BF and have been on a strict MSPI diet for over a month. DD has shown an amazing improvement in colic and reflux symptoms.
Last night, DH made some tacos. I have special diary and soy free tortillas we use for me. He generally warms them in a little canola oil in a pan for me. Well, last night he accidently used BUTTER. Just a smear in the pan, warmed my tortilla, and I took a bite of it, not realizing how he prepared it (I THOUGHT it tasted really good!!). I swallowed that bite, took another and while chewing, noticed the butter on the counter top. I questioned him about it, still not swallowing, and he started screaming, "SPIT IT OUT! SPIT IT OUT!!!" I spit out the second bite.I tried to immediatley make myself throw up that first bite, but it didn't work.
So I had one bite of a tortilla warmed in butter.
Twelve hours later we have an acid-reflux flareing, tummy-hurting, stinkin-poopy, screaming for the past five hours DD. I feel horrible for her. She had been doing SO GOOD.
Is it normal for MSPIs to be THIS sensitive?!
