Coffee Review introduced the first-ever 100-point, wine-style coffee reviews to the
specialty coffee industry in 1997. Our mission is to help consumers identify and purchase superior quality coffees and, in the process, help drive demand and increase prices to reward farmers and roasters who invest time, energy, and capital in producing high quality coffee beans. To that end, Coffee Review publishes a monthly tasting report with related reviews based on cuppings conducted by Editor Kenneth Davids and our editorial team.
The following advertisers support our mission as an independent publication that conducts blind cuppings and publishes objective tasting reports and coffee and espresso reviews.

1. Horton and Lucic are feeding off each other greatly; Savard, Krecji and Bergeron could centre them with the same offensive results.
2. Savard is one of the best playmaker in the league; but he's a damn proud player and probably wants #1 centreing duties any time now.
3. Krecji would be a top centre on most teams but will and should play second fiddle to Savard.
4. The Bruins fourth line is the best in the league by far, all 3 players inclusive (defensively, offensively and energy included) and should be left intact.
Now that Sturm is out, and the lineup is a sure thing for now: I wouldn't mind seeing this tweaking by Julien:
Lucic Savard Horton
Wheeler/Seguin Krecji Ryder ( Seguin and Krecji could be interesting ....)
Wheeler/Seguin Bergeron Recchi
Marchand Campbell Thornton
Reference the PP units; I would try to bring Marchand, Seguin and Kampfer at some point. Maybe try a 3rd unit or something....

If you are a looking to purchase a routine clinical chemistry analyzer for your laboratory, or to replace an existing instrument, this guide provides important information to help you make the right decision.
Learn about the different types of technology, laboratory integration, point-of-care analyzers and other important considerations.
Clinical chemistry analyzers for routine use perform tests on a range of sample types to determine concentrations of specific analytes, as well as assaying therapeutic drugs. The type of analyzer required by individual laboratories will depend on testing requirements and throughput capabilities.
This buying guide aims to provide you with the most up to date information to consider when looking to purchase or update your clinical chemistry analyzer.
Advances in automation have led to a new generation of clinical chemistry analyzers, with advanced software and hardware solutions. These analyzers can offer laboratories fast, reportable, cost-effective and accurate results.
Some companies offer dedicated systems for use only with specific kits; these are known as closed systems. Others offer open systems, which can be used with a number of different assays, and so require careful calibration and validation of parameters by the user. Open and closed systems can also be referred to when looking at automation systems. For more information on automation, please see our Clinical Laboratory Automation Buying Guide.
Modern clinical chemistry analyzers can usually:
Clinical applications of these analyzers include the monitoring of disease states such as anemia, diabetes, cardiac markers, drugs of abuse, metabolic functions, hepatic function, and therapeutic drug monitoring.
It would not be unreasonable to expect a large, modern, automated chemistry analyzer to offer the following technical specifications:
Clinical chemistry analyzers can generally be separated into analyzers using standard clinical chemistry and analyzers employing integrated clinical chemistry analysis.
The most common analytical method used for clinical chemistry analysis is photometry, when the sample is mixed with a reagent to produce a color reaction. Analyte concentration is measured with a photometer (light absorbed is directly correlated to the analyte concentration).
Figure 1. Indiko Clinical Chemistry System, Thermo Fisher Scientific
The second most common test method in analytical chemistry is ion selective electrode (ISE) measurement. The ISE module measures ions such as Li+, Cl-, Na+ and K+. Analyzers may utilize one or both of these analytical methods, analyzers often come with an optional ISE module. The correct choice for your laboratory will depend on the test requirements.
Figure 2. RX Imola, Randox Laboratories, is capable of performing 400 photometric tests and 240 ISE tests per hour.
Figure 3. Selectra ProS, ELITech Group typically runs 140 photometric and electrolyte tests / hour.
Integrated analyzers combine photometric testing with immunoassay capabilities. Immunoassays involve the biochemical measurement of macromolecule concentration in a solution via the use of an antibody or immunoglobulin. Examples of immunoassay tests include ferritin, IgE and parathyroid hormone. Integrated systems improve productivity and efficiency in laboratories that need to carry out both types of method analysis. Combining the methods on integrated analyzers also minimizes manual steps and processing.
Figure 4. UniCel® DxC 880i Synchron® Access® Clinical Systems, Beckman Coulter is an integrated system with an individual analyzer throughput of up to 1,440 chemistry and up to 400 immunoassay tests per hour.
Modern clinical chemistry analyzers are highly automated to ensure minimal manual processes, improved safety and reduced risk of cross-contamination.
Some of the chemistry analyzers on the market are designed for stand-alone use, either bench top or floor standing. These analyzers are suitable for low and medium throughput laboratories. The newest generation analyzers have been designed either for modular configuration or for total laboratory automation. These instruments are capable of meeting the demands of medium- and high-throughput laboratories, and offer a high level of flexibility in terms of design and testing capability.
Figure 5. Dimension Vista® 1500 Intelligent Lab System, from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, can be configured for improved efficiency of workflow.
Figure 6. ARCHITECT c8000 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, Abbott Diagnostics
Different point-of-care analyzers offer different test panels; you will need to assess your needs and operator requirements when viewing the options. The Abbott i-STAT is a hospital favorite and offers a broad menu of cardiac markers, blood gases, chemistries and electrolytes, lactate, as well as coagulation and hematology. The analyzer is a microprocessor-controlled, electromechanical instrument which utilizes single-use cartridges to perform tests.
Figure 7. Abbott i-STAT® 1, Abbott Diagnostics
If specific analyte testing is required there are a variety of options on the market. Horiba offers a lightweight analyzer that uses immunoturbidimetry technology to offer C-reactive protein (CRP) and hematology parameters.
Figure 8. Microsemi CRP Analyzer, Horiba Medical
In January 2015, Siemens launched a new POC analyzer called the Stratus CS 200 Acute Care Diagnostic System (see Figure 8), for the management of patients with cardiovascular disease symptoms.

There are also a variety of blood gas analyzers available for purchase that can be used either at the point-of-care, or in laboratories with small sample throughput.
To view our directory of point-of-care analyzers, please click here.
Anyone looking to purchase an analyzer may find it useful to ask the following questions:
Manufacturers usually offer a number of customizable options and functions depending on the needs of each individual laboratory. For example, throughput of photometric or ISE tests per hour, and the number of tests and assay types available. A variety of analyzers are available to suit the smallest point-of-care clinic, or the most demanding high-throughput clinical laboratory.
Factors to Consider when Choosing your Analyzer
Size and type of laboratory
What are the throughput capabilities of the analyzer/ system? Will it be high enough to allow the laboratory to meet its expected turnaround times? Is there a STAT mode for urgent samples?
Cost effectiveness
A more expensive analyzer may prove to be more cost effective in the long term if, for example, the reagents are cheaper and the turnaround times are faster.
Tests menu
Consider the tests required e.g. a small cardiac clinic will require a very different set of tests to a large, multi-disciplinary, clinical laboratory.
Most modern medium to high-throughput chemistry analyzers are fully automated. Many also have the option to be connected to a track. A small laboratory might be best served by a stand-alone, bench-top analyzer, whereas a high-throughput hospital lab may benefit from a total automation solution.
Future proofing
It is always wise to consider how the laboratory may expand over the coming years. What are the projections for sample numbers over the life of the analyzer? Which additional tests will the laboratory offer in a few years time? Are there plans for future automation or development of a multi-disciplinary laboratory? It may be worth investing in an analyzer or system that already has the capabilities that you will require in the future.
LEAN processing
The purchase of a new analyzer is often a good time to assess LEAN methodologies. LEAN principles can help to guide the choice of equipment and determine whether processes really would be optimized by total automation, or whether a re-working of existing procedures would suffice.
Read more about the LEAN process in our Clinical Laboratory Automation Buying Guide.
How many operators will it require; will it be a shared resource; and how will it integrate into your current workflow (is it stand-alone or fully integrated)? The various options to integrate fully automated systems, for higher throughput testing, can be discussed with the individual manufacturers.
Does the manufacturer offer a comprehensive training program and how will this information be shared with the laboratory team? Some manufacturers offer residential training programs for a limited number of people, who will then become the trainers for the rest of the user group. Others will hold training sessions at the laboratory itself and issue certificates to attendees on completion of a test. Training typically takes 3-5 days.
Limitations resulting from the compatibility of software with external hardware are important to consider. Some systems include integrated software with features such as inbuilt protocols and the ability to select languages. Software should be validated to global standards. Interfacing options and LIMS compatibility are important considerations when choosing a new analyzer.
Other important considerations include the number of users, length of usage, flexibility, preanalytical processing, ease-of-use, reliability, budget and customer support.

Other considerations can include the number of users, length of usage, flexibility, ease of use, reliability, budget and customer support.
Taking into consideration current and future trends is essential in maximizing the lifespan of any analyzer. As systems become more sophisticated, integration, convenience and application specificity are key.
New assays are constantly in development to improve the diagnostic capabilities of laboratories and ultimately improve patient care. The continuing emergence of new, clinically significant biomarkers, and technological advancements have a significant impact on such assay development.
Biochemistry systems will also become faster and more efficient as technology and software is developed and enhanced. Manufacturers strive to take into consideration customer feedback and requirements, and many are developing strategies for making analytical systems ever more user-friendly.
As laboratory workloads increase, and managers look toward total automation solutions, analyzers need to have either modular capabilities or the ability to be connected to a track. At the other extreme, point-of-care testing is very much in demand and technology is being developed to enable near-patient chemistry testing.
Taking into consideration current and future trends is essential in maximizing the lifespan of the reader. As systems become more sophisticated, integration, convenience and application specificity will be key. Systems will include integral features such as the ability to create specific in-situ conditions without the need to remove plates between steps. Systems will also become faster and more efficient and be able to run a variety of different assays.
Application possibilities will increase as manufacturers work to provide solutions to individual and industry demands, such as those currently being requested in the food/beverage and biofuels industries, as well as in emerging countries.
Manufacturers are taking into consideration customer feedback and requirements, with many developing strategies for even greater specificity assays and technology for the future. Write a review on SelectScience today and give manufacturers valuable feedback on their products.
The purchase of a new analyzer requires considerable thought, planning and assessment of the laboratories or clinic's needs and requirements. It is wise to identify these requirements before drawing up a shortlist of analyzers that have the potential to meet them. Purchasers should conduct a thorough comparison of analyzer capabilities and balance this with the all important issue of price before making a decision.

Irish hire Justin Jones as football coach
Former Bishop McGuinness football coach Kenny Young has set the bar pretty high for Irish success, but Justin Jones is ready for the challenge.
The former Woodward coach was named the head coach of the Irish on Wednesday.
"This is one of the most elite schools in Oklahoma," Jones said. "I've competed against them for the last three years and know what this program is about. It was tough to tell those kids (at Woodward), but I'm anxious to get started with McGuinness."
Jones has coached the Boomers the last three seasons and Woodward was in the same district as McGuinness all three years.
McGuinness athletic director Gary Savely said there were around 55 applicants for the job.
"We love his enthusiasm and his leadership and feel he is going to fit in great with the program," Savely said.
Young resigned last month after 10 years as the coach. He led the team to two state championships.

125 grit monterey sand finish
I'm looking for the best clear coat product to glue / embed 125 monterey sand onto a cementatious life deck system. The deck is totally waterproof and all I want is to have a natural agregate finish. I don't like the glossy look of epoxies and hear good things about Waterborne Polyurothanes.
Where is this deck? What's it made of? If it's outside, water polyurethanes would not work too well.

Skip to comments.Sen. McCain faces toughest re-election challenge
Posted on 02/12/2010 6:20:15 PM PST by Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
Defeated just two years ago as the Republican presidential candidate and with his bonafides as a true conservative again being challenged, John McCain finds himself in a struggle to get even his party's nomination for another term in the Senate.
Many conservatives and Tea Party activists are lining up behind Republican challenger and former talk radio host J.D. Hayworth, reflecting a rising tide of voter frustration with incumbent politicians. Only 40 percent of Arizonans have a favorable view of McCain's job performance.
Faced with his toughest re-election battle ever, McCain has moved to the right on several hot-button issues, like gays in the military and climate change, and has built a campaign war chest of more than $5 million. Former running mate Sarah Palin and newly elected Republican Sen. Scott Brown, both popular with conservatives, are pitching in.
Hayworth, who will officially launch his campaign Monday, began using his talk show on conservative radio station KFYI to drum up opposition to McCain.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
His bonafides are gonna well deservedly get kicked. Time to geld the traitor.
I agree with most of your post. As for launching Ms. McCain into space . . . that might be a bit cost prohibitive. At $10,000.00 a pound for NASA to place matter into orbit and a debt ceiling of only 14 trillion dollars, well you can do the math.
Sounds just like Mitt Romney, Charlie Crist and Slick Perry
I love to laugh, and that comment made me laugh out loud.
True, but taking a larger picture look, McCain is well established with networks, favors owed and plenty of "expendable" people that could wreak havoc on her campaign. I think the calculated move is to back him, get it out of the way, let it blow over and move on with "debt" paid and favor owed. She is already forever tied to him from their past and to "diss" him now would not do her any favors later. McCain may be looking for a post position in her administration since he could be unemployed, or if he is reelected, she has an ally on inside.
"Never thought I'd see somebody put the words 'McCain' and 'true conservative' in the same sentence with a straight face"
To be fair, it was saiod in the context of his status thereof being questioned. Again.
"Someone please tell me why Sarah Palin finds the need to pitch in and help him out in his time of political trouble."
Easy. Quid pro quo.
Please people of Arizona do not re-elect him. Still people dont have a clue that she is supports amnesty just like the candidates that she is endorsing (Perry and Mccain)
He will certainly move to the right, no question about that. He would stand on his head and spit nickles if he thought it would get him reelected.
John McCain is and has been a problem for the Republican Party. He should have been gone a long time ago.
not sure about Pay Pal... can't get it to load right now. JD will formally announce on Feb. 15
well then, that does it, he gets a few smackers from ME, too! (thanks!)

Poor fit - doesn't cover right
This review is from: invisibleSHIELD Apple iPhone 5 Screen Protector
Pros: It's the good Zagg material, and won't ever scratch.
Cons: I don't know when Zagg got the specs for the iPhone 5, but the size is wrong. The front cover is too narrow, leaving nearly 5 mm exposed. Top to bottom, it's a little short, too. As an extra added 'bonus', the edge of my new case pushes against the edge of the cover, lifting it up and making bubbles...
Other Thoughts: I wonder how I can find out if this problem was corrected?

Great place to eat. Have been many, many times. It is nice to walk in and be greeted like an old family friend by Patrice behind the bar. Would HIGHLY recommend this place. Cannot wait to return next year - 7th time in eight years.
Cognac is lovely isn't it! I must get back there again soon.

PUBLISHED July 29, 2010 0 1 / 5 Flying Car or Roadable Aircraft? For anyone who's ever wanted to skip airport security lines and boarding delays, a newly designed flying car may pave the way for future personal transportation.Developers unveiled a scale model of the redesigned Transition "roadable aircraft" (pictured in a digital rendering) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Monday. The new design is both a rear-wheel drive road vehicle and a light sport aircraft that can cruise at 105 miles (170 kilometers) an hour.Developed by the Terrafugia company, the tweaked design—which adds carlike headlights and a license plate holder, among other things—follows a proof-of-concept Transition, which was successfully tested in 2009. Image courtesy Terrafugia Flying Car Folds Its Wings Among the features of the Transition flying car are foldable wings—shown in mid-transition in an illustration—that deploy for flight and retract for driving.The wings are controlled from the cockpit, theoretically enabling an operator to drive to the airport, ready the wings, and take off—all without leaving the seat.(Related: "Hitler's Stealth Fighter Re-created.") Image courtesy Terrafugia Transition on the Road In June the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration granted a weight exemption to Terrafugia's latest model of flying car, shown in a digital illustration. The waiver allows the Transition to remain classified as a light sport aircraft, despite extra weight that was added as designers brought the vehicle into compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for road vehicles.The Transition's automotive safety features include operator and passenger airbags, an energy-absorbing crush structure in the vehicle's nose, and a rigid safety cage to protect occupants.(Pictures: NASA Guts 747, Adds 17-Ton Telescope.) Image courtesy Terrafugia Flying-Car Cockpit A rendering of the Transition's interior shows the two-seat cockpit with its touch-screen interface and GPS navigation system. According to Terrafugia's website, Transition-specific pilot training can be completed in as little as 20 hours.(Pictures: Fuel-Saving Designs Win Future-Plane Contest.) Image courtesy Terrafugia Transition in Flight The proof-of-concept Transition flies alongside a chase plane during a May 2009 test flight. According to Terrafugia, the new design features improvements based on data acquired during drive and flight testing of the proof-of-concept model.Terrafugia's website sets the first deliveries of Transitions for late 2011.(See classic pictures spanning the history of air travel.)

Secrets of Success
Day 2 of my brother's vegan based regimen
Thursday, July 17, 2014
I feel like I have so much energy that I had to stop myself from exercising after running a mile in under 13 minutes, walking for another mile afterwards, jump roping for another 30 min, using a foam roller, stretching, then looking at the 35 lb kettle bell literally calling out to me to use it.
I did a set of 10 military presses, 2 sets of lat pull downs, 50 sit ups but the kettle bell kept calling out to me. I jump roped for another 5 minutes then forced myself to leave my home gym area.
For my own safety, I stopped, let's see how sore I feel tomorrow!
Post run, the only "food" that I've had today was a 150 cal Power Shake.
I know there are no shortcuts to losing weight because I've tried all the shortcuts & they work for a short amount of time before people myself included put the weight back on. This time around, I don't consider it a shortcut. I consider it a continuation with a slight modification to how I ate when I was traveling abroad. If it works, then it works & I'll continue to use it to reach my goal of weighing less than 11 stones.
The fact that I lost weight after being in Thailand for 2 months is the best case scenario because until my trip, NOBODY goes to Thailand and comes back leaner than they went, there's just way too many delicious things to eat there!!!
The other major difference between this time around & all the others is that I haven't mentioned anywhere in any post exactly what I'm using. If it works, maybe I'll mention it, if not, all anyone knows is that I tried a "regimen" recommended to me by my own brother.
It used to be in my profile but I think I took it down. I had a lap band at one point (although I was never morbidly obese, I worked at a hospital, had health insurance & was convinced that I needed the band), I tried the HCG diet (expensive, it works but doesn't teach you how to eat), I had a staple in my ear (acupuncture for weight loss, yeah, all I got was an infection), name the diet there's a good chance I tried it...that's all I feel that I need to say.

- Conference date: 12–16 August 2012
- Location: Örenäs Castle, Sweden
The recent decade has seen a doubling of the efficiency of thermoelectric converters through the use of nanotechnology. Here we first outline how specific doping impurities in semiconductors, called resonant levels, mimic the effects of nanostructures and give the same benefits in bulk semiconductors. Resonant impurities catalyse the formation of new bands in semiconductors, which can be engineered to tailor the thermopower. The result is an efficiency increase of 50% in BiSb and more in PbTe. Then, we describe a new solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion mechanism, the spin-Seebeck effect, which arises from driving spinpolarized particles out of thermal equilibrium. This generates a spin flux that is converted into a voltage in a non-polarized adjacent material; the effect can be as large as the highest thermoelectric voltages in semiconductors. Nanotechnologies and these new effects add new design variables to the old problem of optimizing the thermoelectric figure of merit, resulting in much improved thermal efficiencies.

Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
It is a well made strong device, but it doesn't raise the Middle sized Drum up enough. It probably works best with the large or X-large drums. It doesn't have any instructions on how it goes together and although it is simple in design, a visual instruction page would be nice.
Best Uses
Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
A nice step up from the basket stand I had before. It does not walk away from me with hard hitting, allows angling of the djembe, and was really easy to assemble. My drum is dark in color and I have not noticed it leaving marks on the drum as others have mentioned.

Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
This is an excellent stand! It seems to be a conga stand, but they added three spacers to accommodate different djembe sizes. You'd be hard pressed to find a stronger and more professional looking stand on the market, at any price.
I have a 14" Remo djembe, and I can hit it as hard as I want, it won't move, either on the stand or move away on the floor as it used to do with my basket Remo stand.
Unfortunately, there is just one thing that has troubled me about this stand in the few days I've been using it. The three legs that support the djembe leave black marks on it. At first, I thought it was just because the stand was new, but after a few days, I noticed that the edges of the three nice looking ends of the stand were kind of wearing out. It gave me the impression that the black marks it was leaving on my djembe were really the edges of the rubber legs coming undone.
I'm just dumbfounded that Meinl would drop the ball with such a critical component of this stand. I really hope they would own this mistake and do some kind of recall and mail quality legs for those of us that bought their product-that's how you make raving fans of your customers. I also own a Meinl Cajon, and I'm beginning to wonder now if the quality on that particular item is also compromised.
Why you gave them 4 starts then, you are probably asking? Well, because I still think that it is a well-built stand, unfortunately, with a major flaw. I wrapped the tips of mine with rubber and had to thoroughly clean my djembe twice. I still think that it is worth it. Just be aware of this problem.

Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
Here's the deal: This stand is the BEST in the basket stand category period. It's worth spending the extra money and making sure that your drum isn't going to move around or tip over when you hit it hard. It's heavy duty, fully adjustable and even has carpet spikes that you can retract with an allen wrench.
I can deal with the fact that it doesn't come with instructions, as you can easily figure it out by looking at pictures on the web; however, what I cannot deal with is BLACK RUBBER MARKS on my beautiful wood finish after just 1 use!!!! You MUST put something over the rubber to protect your djembe. Depending on what you use, it may not grip the drum as well, so I must take away 1 star for this design flaw.
Yes it's expensive and you can buy the cheaper basket stand. But if you're a serious player you'll eventually end up buying this one anyhow, so just spring for it now.
Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
I really love this stand. I'm a sitting player and it adjust to the perfect height for me on the shortest adjustment. I'm 5ft 4in. I have used the Remo circular type stand and when really hitting the drum it would walk away from me and also the drum would shift in the stand. Not in this one, nothing moves at all when hard hitting even on uneven surfaces. I play the 12in Remo Djembes and they fit in the stand real well. Worth every cent paid. My only gripe is that there were no instructions to put together or adjust so I had to get on Musicians Friend to check out the picture. Also if you dont like the spikes sticking out on the bottom of the feet they can be adjusted further in to the feet from the top of the gripper pads by putting the wrench included into the hole and turning. They cut my finger so I screwed them in all the way till flush with the bottom of the feet.
Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
The Meinl djembe stand is worth the price. Very good quality and it is very sturdy. I use mine with a 12 inch Remo djembe and it does fine. Without the drum in place, I amusingly have a bad habit of stumbling over it. I have yet to see how cumbersome it will be to bring it to the local Hippy-Hill. I usually see the inexpensive Remo stand out there. My only little gripe that kept this review from a five star is that the stand did not come with any directions for assembly.
Comments about Meinl Steely II Djembe Stand:
Excellent stand to sit at, but unless you are very short you won't be able to stand at it. Really solid. I've tried the LP conga stands with my djembes and they moved a lot in them. This one holds them tight. All three legs are height adjustable, so lowering one leg will tilt your drum slightly away from you. The feet are wide, with small adjustable metal spikes in them. Nice feature. The only thing I wish it had that it don't is higher adjustment on the legs so you could stand at it. On my wood drums, such as my LP Giovanni Djembe, the stand didn't choke the drum at all. On my Meinl Floatune Fiberglass Djembe, I found that it choked it just a bit. But nothing to be concerned about.
