Physical contaminants
There is little more off-putting to customers than when they find what they consider to be a 'foreign body' in their food. Most consumer complaints to manufacturers and retailers derive from this. Sometimes the object is a perfectly natural component of the food - but in all cases it is important to find out what it is and how and when it got there. Campden BRI offers a fast, accurate service for the identification of adventitious and deliberate contaminants, helping to pinpoint its source and advising on preventative solutions.
Glass fragments
Light microscope examination for features such as size, colour, curvature and deposits is followed by X-ray microanalysis in the scanning electron microscope. This quick non-destructive test gives a spectrum of the elements found in a sample, allowing for rapid identification.
Metal, stone and plastics
These, and other non-biological materials, are subjected to a similar examination process to that used for glass samples. X-ray microanalysis can distinguish between different metals, including the different types of stainless steel. With plastics, other techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy can be used to "fingerprint" the material. This technique is also invaluable for many pharmaceutical tablets and capsules.
Extraneous vegetable matter
This is often identified by light microscopy to demonstrate its cellular structure, using various histochemical stains to identify the chemical nature of the material. Similar approaches can be used to identify other similar samples such as rodent droppings.
Hair and fibres
These are usually identified using light microscopy and compared with a reference collection of known samples.
Has it been heat processed?
Heat processing of many once-living samples destroys enzyme activity in the sample, and hence tests for enzyme activity can be used to determine if the sample has been heat-treated in many cases. In other cases, such as glass or metal, the condition of surface deposits such as starch can give indications as to the history of the sample.
Other foreign bodies
The above is only a selection of the foreign bodies which are most frequently identified. We have a wealth of experience of dealing with a wide range of unusual objects over many years.
We also run a foreign body proficiency identification scheme (FOBS) for other laboratories to check their competence.

Last night, to counter the frustration of the colour pencil landscape of the day before, I went back to basics and did a simple sketch in ink pen, with only minimal colour added, also using ink pen.
I figured out, in a little more detail, what happens when I try to do something entirely in colour. I love colour. And what I like most about it is all the nuance and detailed variation each colour has, and the way it changes according to light, shade, adjacent colours, reflections, etc. So when I start on colour in my work my attention is immediately concentrated on all the variable aspects of the colour itself, leaving no attention for things like composition, texture and value. Of course this is only possible when I'm using a medium appropriate to reproducing a high level of detailed colour variation (such as colour pencils, aquarelle or acrylics), so when I draw in colour using ink pens I manage to avoid the obsessive attention.
I'm going back to ink.

Early SS LAH Truck Photograph - Magdeburg Parade Photo

All Items: Cyberattic: Pre 1940: item # 1248268

|Very cool photograph of a truck carrying SS members on parade. Early SA style uniforms with skulls on the cap I would assume to then be LAH members. The truck itself has a banner with the national emblem and SS runes. Also interesting is that just behind the truck in the parade the HJ/DJ boys have to walk. In the background beside the truck is a band with the same SA/SS/LAH uniforms. The truck and the overall picture have the feel of the early rise-to-power parades which, if all went well, ended up in a good street fight with the local communist group. Reverse markings indicate this was taken by a studio in Magdeburg. Nice large size at about 11x8.5cm. Top notch publishable photo.

Arabic Names Spell Trouble for Banks
International banks, acting on government orders to freeze assets from Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, are scouring hundreds of millions of client files for individuals on the new watch lists. But in doing so, bank compliance officers are grappling with a peculiar challenge: the myriad ways of transliterating Arabic names.
The arcane problem is opening the door to niche players, including a unicycling polyglot, who promise to help banks ensure they don't miss anyone because of misspelled names.
The pressure is high, with banks fearful of falling afoul of justice officials. "While [Arabic transliteration] has always been a concern, it's become more of a challenge given recent events," said Vasilios Chrisos, a top U.S.-based compliance officer at Australian bank Macquarie Group Ltd. MQBKY 1.14 %
For banks, identifying and closing accounts of officials or individuals on sanctions list is, in the best of circumstances, difficult. Accounts can be held via offshore trusts. Individuals can try to conceal links to an account by using a front man.
Many Identities
The spellings for Moammar Gadhafi in various sanctions lists.
Compounding things, for individuals with Arabic names, sanctions lists provide only a few alternate spellings. The U.S. Treasury Department offers 12 possible spellings for Moammar Gadhafi, though language experts say there are more than 100 for the family name alone.
Unlike other so-called script languages such as Chinese or Japanese, Arabic has no transliteration standards. Pronunciation of the same names varies by place, and written Arabic contains few vowels, opening the door to a larger range of acceptable translations. Mohamed can also be transliterated as Mahmut, Mehmud or dozens of other variants.
Banks allow clients to transliterate their names as they see fit when they open new accounts. When a government publishes a new watch list, the banks' software uses so-called fuzzy logic to search for alternative spellings, similar to how Google suggests alternative phrases when it detects a possible typo in a search.
But fuzzy logic goes only a short distance in spotting transliteration errors because of the huge range of Latin spellings of Arabic names. To make sure they aren't missing anyone, banks have recently resorted to sorting through many client files manually.
Government authorities, such as the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control, offer banks some help. If OFAC sees a recurring alternate spelling, it will add it to its lists.
Stepping into the breach are companies such as CJK Dictionary Institute.
CJK founder Jack Halpern says his small team pored over hard copies of phone directories, encyclopedias, student rosters and general-interest books from a slew of Middle Eastern countries to compile a dictionary of seven million variants in all of Arab proper names.
Using this dictionary, Mr. Halpern has ginned up a greatly expanded version of the U.S., United Nations and U.K. sanctions lists. For instance, while the U.S. gives only four alternative spellings for one individual on the sanction list, Hatem Ahmad Barakat, Mr. Halpern says he can potentially supply 130,000 potential variants, given all the possible spellings for each of the three names.
Mr. Halpern, who says he speaks 10 languages and is known for arriving at language conferences on a unicycle, spent three decades compiling transliteration dictionaries of Asian languages for academic use. After undertaking Arabic studies, he realized that a roster of Arabic names would be a boon for anti-terrorist officials and border-control authorities—and, more recently, from anti-money laundering departments at banks.
Mr. Halpern has recently signed deals with Datanomic Inc., a leading client-screening company, as well as Compsec Inc., which sells intelligence services to the U.S. government. "I saw a huge demand for names, so I put a lot of energy into this," he says.
Meanwhile, Accuity, a compliance-software supplier, has added more Middle Eastern analysts and last month published an expanded list of alternative spellings for many Middle Eastern names, including 110 variations of Gadhafi.
WorldCheck, a leading provider of lists of public officials that are subject to greater scrutiny in the banking world, last year tweaked its systems to allow for the original Arabic spelling. That allows banks to compare it to original documents such as passports or drivers licenses. They also now reverse sanctions lists into the original Arabic.
Compliance expert Bertrand Lisbach founded Switzerland-based Linguistic Search Solutions just three years ago. He has developed a series of search engines for various languages that contain "rules" about how various names could be transliterated into English. Those search engines help banks' name-matching software detect whether a client might correspond to a name on a watch list, even if the spelling is different. Mr. Lisbach has sold the service to UBS AG as well as to Accuity, which has in turn sold a software package including LSS's search engine to a number of banks.
"Gadhafi has always been one of our darlings in the name-matching community," said Mr. Lisbach, who uses the confusion about the Libyan leader's name to pitch his service.

Nationwide college students are celebrating and applauding leaders of the House of Representatives after they passed major student aid reform along with the historic health care bill on Sunday.
The student measure was part of the package of "fixes" that will be considered by the Senate under the budget process known as "reconcilliation."
Student leaders say the federal government is moving forward with the most sweeping overhaul of college financial aid in decades.
"This is truly a historic day for all Americans," said Gregory Cendana, president of the United States Student Association (USSA). "The passage of HR 4872 is a monumental victory for students and families struggling to keep their heads above water in today's tough economy," he added.
On average each student graduates with nearly $25,000 dollars in debt, said Cendana. "If the U.S. is going to fully recover from the recession, the federal government must enact long-term, prudent fiscal policies that invest in the future. That means investing in college affordability through President Obama's student aid reform plan."
Under the student aid proposal, private lenders would no longer make federally subsidized student loans. Rather, the government would make all such loans itself, instead of only some as it does now. Borrowers will go directly to the federal government for student loans, and not to the banks or other private lenders. It would make college loans that parents take out for their children slightly cheaper and easier to get.
The middleman would be eliminated saving the government an estimated $61 billion over the next ten years. About $36 billion of that would be used to increase Pell grants for lower-income students. The measure would also allocate $2.5 billion to historically minority-serving institutions and community colleges. At least $10 billion would be allocated toward reducing the federal deficit.
The bill would boost annual Pell grants, which go to about 6 million students, to a maximum of $5,975 by 2017 from $5,550 this year.
Some critics say the boost falls short from an earlier House version that addressed tuition inflation, however. Thirty years ago, Pell grants covered 77 percent of the average tuition at a public university. Today, only 35 percent are covered.
Despite some shortfalls, most see the bill as a positive step in the right direction and say the savings will help the most needy students in the country.
In the 2007-08 school year 7.3 million students received Pell grants, out of 14.6 million who applied. A decade ago, 4.9 million students received the aid.
Graduates having trouble paying their loans will also get help, according to the new rules. Starting in 2014, eligible borrowers can cap their monthly loan payments at 10 percent of their discretionary income, down from the current 15 percent. In addition, borrowers who make their monthly payments faithfully for 20 years can have the remaining balance forgiven, down from 25 years under the current law.
The Senate is expected to take up the measure as early as this week.
Meanwhile USSA commends leaders of the House saying the legislation makes great strides to ensure that students can depend of federal financial aid programs as they work towards their goal of achieving a higher education. The measure comes at a pivotal moment in the student movement, says USSA, which recognizes the government's investment in higher education and the country's economic future.
"Students and families are struggling to balance mortgage-sized loan debt, rising insurance premiums, and the everyday cost of living," said Cendana. "USSA's 4.5 million members, and millions of young people around the country celebrate this victory and look forward to its final passage in the Senate in the coming week," he said.

I wouldn't recommend pole fitness to anyone who isn't also planning to incorporate yoga or stretching or flexibility training. You end up in some crazy twists. For a while I was dealing with wrist and lower back pain. I figured out that it goes away with one yoga class for every pole class and twenty minutes of poses prior to class focusing on the back, shoulders and wrists. Hip and hamstring flexibility is important to make things look pretty but they aren't as important for safety.
I learned the genie pose yesterday and now my legs ache. But in a fun way!

NY City Council Overrides the Veto of The Community Safety Act
Posted on August 23, 2013
This week, the New York City Council voted to override Mayor Bloomberg's veto of the Community Safety Act. NAACP President Ben Jealous considers this a victory, and a step in the right direction toward ending racial profiling:
This is a big day for New York City and America. This is the beginning of the end of our democracy tolerating police using race, ethnicity, LGBT-status, or faith as a substitute for reasonable suspicion. We are thankful to the 34 City Council members who heroically stood up for the American ideals of freedom and justice, and stood together in the face of fact-defying and fear-mongering by the Mayor and Commissioner. As we move on to the March on Washington this weekend, we can do so knowing we have moved New York City and our nation one step closer to realizing Dr. King's dream.
The Community Safety Act is a bundle of legislation that bans racial and religious profiling, establishes an NYPD Inspector General Office, and provides greater protection against unlawful search and seizure. The legislation was championed by Councilmembers Jumaane D. Williams and Brad Lander.
On Father's Day 2012, the NAACP, more than 50,000 civil and human right advocates and scores of outraged community members marched in silent solidarity down Fifth Avenue in New York City to bring attention to racial profiling and to protest the city's abusive and discriminatory stop-and-frisk policing practice.

More debris has been spotted near the search area in the case of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.
A Thai satellite spotted about 300 objects, some as long 52 feet.
However, bad weather hampered search efforts in the air and on the water Thursday.
Planes and ships headed to the area in the southern Indian Ocean turned back because of heavy rains, strong winds, and reduced visibility.
For the last week, planes have been looking without any success for objects spotted by satellites.
Malaysian authorities said an analysis of the final known satellite signals from the plane shows it went down in the Indian Ocean.

Not a single issue with mine. No ftf,fte or anything of that nature. I've been shooting handloads, american eagle ar223(walmart brand), and a little bit of tula. Shoots everything I feed to it. That being said it is a good rifle for the quality, but I wish I would of built one instead of buying the sport. You can build a better quality rifle that has the dust cover and forward assist for a little more money. Plus it is much more fun to build your own.
December 24, 2011, 03:06 PM
I've got the sport. Not quite 500 rounds through mine, but close. Zero issues whatsoever. It's a good shooter. It won't win any contests in the "My AR is better than yours" contests that seem to constantly pop up, but I'm loving mine.
All of my rounds have been lake city reloads and they've been flawless.
December 24, 2011, 03:16 PM
I only have about 600 rounds shot but not a single issue. Ammo so far is AR223 american eagle "federal" , A box of 73 gr match king both .223 ammo and a few hundred rounds of 62gr M855 IMI ammo. The first two will shot 1" and sub 1" the M855 is not known for it's accuracy and it's still is a good cheap ammo that will group at or under 2" at 100 yards. Barrel cleans very easy and runs well and the melonite slicks up well No wear on bolt that is also melonite coated. I paid 595 new at a local general store 4 weeks ago and you would be hard pressed to build a better rifle cheaper and still have a great company behind it if its ever needed.

December 24, 2011, 03:51 PM
As far as the dust cover and forward assist go they are almost a novelty .....I severed for six years in the usmc and I don't think I ever used the forward assist and dust cover .....dose a m1a ak mini 14 fal have dust covers my m9 needed a dust cover more than my m4 did they are more cosmetic at this day and age ......you guys notice any throat or barrel wear..
December 24, 2011, 04:47 PM
Have only put a couple of hundred rounds through mine so far. No complaints, hasn't missed a beat at this point. It has digested Fiocchi factory 40 gr V-Max, Federal Tactical 223AE, handloads with 55 gr FMJ, Hornady 55 gr SP. Haven't scoped it yet to check benchrest accuracy, but feel confident it will do well once I get it set up. Can't beat it for $599 at the local hardware store.

December 25, 2011, 02:53 PM
I've had a lot of fun with mine. 1-2 moa accurate off the bench with xm855. Not much worse with wolf. 1500 rounds, 1 malfunction (wolf case rim ripped off.) Overall, well satisfied with the purchase. Fit and finish are excellent. Cleans just about as easily as my chrome lined rifle. To be honest though, if I did it again today, I'd probably buy a palmetto rifle.
December 25, 2011, 03:35 PM
great rifle, I have a smith and wesson M&P OR and mine runs great I've looked at the sport and it is on my list to get
for $650 you can't go wrong

Are they mil spec?
December 25, 2011, 08:56 PM
Are they mil spec?
The Bolt Carrier Group, buttstock, and buffer tube are Mil-Spec. The buffer is standard carbine weight, but M4 Spec calls for an H1 heavy buffer. The lack of dustcover & forward assist is not Mil Spec. The lower receiver has the trigger guard integrated in the forging, which exceeds Mil Spec. The upper & lower receivers are black hard anodized equivalent to Mil Spec. The front sight base is F marked, F height Mil Spec. The handguards are not heat shielded, which is not Mil Spec, but you can get Mil Spec dual heat shield handguards online for $25. The bbl. steel is 4140, which is a step below Mil Spec. The bbl. twist is 1:8, while mil spec is 1:7. However, the bbl. is Melonited (black nitride), and 5R rifled, which exceeds Mil Spec for accuracy & comes close to (if not better than) Mil Spec for durability.
Overall, S&W cut corners only in insignificant places to keep the cost down. Build quality is still excellent, and the Sport is one of the best approx $600 AR-15s on the market.

Yes indeed. My personal Sport is wearing a Falcon ErgoGrip, and MagPul MOE buttstock, which were inexpensive comfort upgrades. I added a Troy MRF-CX free float rail to get the longer handguard setup I like better.

December 26, 2011, 09:03 AM
i bought one as my first personal ar, haven't had any problems with it. Might catch a little ribbing from others about the lack of dust cover and forward assist, but honestly who uses them? Mine came with a magpul pmag, and i procured another as part of the deal. brand new out the door, 625. I got a little po'd about the lack of the front sight tool that the paperwork said was supposed to come with, but one call to smith and wesson fixed that even though they told me they haven't included one in over a year. All in all, I'd say go for it. Good little gun, and good customer service from the factory
December 26, 2011, 11:06 AM
If you are looking for a carbine AR that's a good way to go but you can get real nice Rifle length AR's for ~700 out the door

December 26, 2011, 02:47 PM
Mine shoots MOA or better with premium factory ammo when I do my part. That T/C Arms manufactured 5R rifled bbl. is probably one of the most accurate medium contour 16" tubes on the market.
December 26, 2011, 09:27 PM
M&P15 Sport is a great starter AR for the price if you are an occasional/recreational shooter. The lack of a forward assist, case deflector, and dusk cover is not a big deal, but I like to have those in my M4 platform.
If anything you can buy it at the cheapest price you can find ($549 in some places) and just swap out the upper for one that has the forward assist, case def, and dust cover.
December 26, 2011, 09:36 PM
Justice, the Sport does have the extended brass deflector. Here's your $15 dust cover - http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=21481/Product/AR-15-M16-SAFE-PORT
marine 97-03
December 26, 2011, 10:33 PM
Like I said before forward assist and dust cover are merely cosmetic in this day and age.....
December 28, 2011, 09:10 AM
I've been looking at these, too. Anyone know the name of these stores selling them for $550? My local Academy has them at $650, which is still a good price. But, adding sales tax and I'm just north of $700.
December 28, 2011, 12:23 PM
Might just try some of your area small shops or general store/gun shops. For 40 years allways found better deals with them. My sport cost 595 at a general store in the NC mountains.
December 28, 2011, 12:37 PM
If you shoot it left handed, does the brass fly in front of you or peg you in the face?
December 28, 2011, 04:46 PM
My son-in-law is one of you lefties and the brass clears his face well. Mine throws brass at no more than a 40* angle for . Plenty of room because of the over sized deflector.
December 28, 2011, 04:59 PM

The main thang that sold me on the M&P15 was have'n s&w behind it. and they build all the metal work in house unlike darn near all others. And the 595 dollar price here. The rugers are good but typicaly do not shoot nearly as well. More aftermarket for the AR based M&P too.

What kind of accuracy are you seeing since free floating the bbl?
December 31, 2011, 03:48 PM
What kind of accuracy are you seeing since free floating the bbl?
With premium factory ammo anywhere from 55gr ballistic tips to 77gr OTM it shoots 1.25" or less 5 shot groups at 100 yards (not to the same POI of course) when I do my part. My friends who are better rifle shooters than I can get it to group 1" @ 100 with regularity. I have an acquaintance who's a retired Ranger & former rifle instructor at Benning. I hope to get him to shoot it soon to eliminate any errors I may be inducing, and establish a good base line.

Lot # 809 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Nineteenth-Century "Excelsior" Belt
Starting Bid - $400.00, Sold For - $2,937.50
Rare 1850s/1860s "Excelsior" belt dating from the earliest days of organized baseball. The elaborately designed black leather belt displays the name "Excelsior" on the front and features an interior leather strap for size adjustment. The team name is actually the result of the neighboring leather having been elaborately carved out, thus displaying "Excelsior" in raised relief. The leather surrounding the team name has been painted red, while the individual letters bear a contrasting coat of white paint. No manufacturer's label or tag is present. During the 1850s, belts were the single defining characteristic of a team's uniform and most were similar in style and color. These belts were the only garment players wore bearing the club's name. As such, they were often quite elegant and striking in design, and a symbol of team pride. While they are very prominently featured in various equipment catalogs for sale, very few nineteenth-century baseball belts (especially those dating to the 1850s) have actually survived. The Brooklyn Excelsior Base Ball Club was one of the earliest and most prominent teams in New York. In 1857 they became one of the sixteen charter members of the National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP), the first organized baseball league. In properly cataloguing this belt, we must note that it is impossible to say with absolute certainty that this belt originates from a Brooklyn Excelsior baseball uniform, as opposed to being part of the uniform of another club of the era that shared the Excelsior name. The possibility also exists that this is an Excelsior Fire Engine Company belt. Most early men's social clubs were simply extensions of each neighborhood or town's local fire company. As baseball rose in popularity, those social clubs also sponsored baseball teams. Thus, many of the earliest baseball teams were composed of firemen. Alexander Joy Cartwright himself, one of the founding fathers of baseball, was a member of the New York Knickerbockers Fire Fighting Brigade several years before the Knickerbockers baseball team ever took the field in 1845. The early connection between fire companies and baseball is the reason many early baseball uniforms were designed in the style of fire uniforms (often displaying a shield design on the front of the jersey). As a cost-cutting move, members would then use the belts from their fire uniforms with their baseball uniforms. For that reason, many early nineteenth-century firefighters' belts are indistinguishable from baseball belts. The belt (41 x 2.5 inches) is well worn, displaying a number of cracks and abrasions along the hardened leather. The buckle piece remains intact. Very Good condition overall. Reserve $400. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $2,937.50

Dan Rosen at NHL.com feels that improved play through the middle of the ice will be important for the Rangers if they want to even up this series…
"The Capitals see the neutral zone as the most important area on the ice for their system. They want to apply pressure there to force turnovers. They even play a risky style to do it by pushing up their forwards and defensemen."
Ryan McDonagh agrees…
"One thing we talked about was we were able to get pucks into that neutral zone and we weren't strong enough on stick battles, loose pucks. We were reaching with one hand as opposed to skating and reaching with two hands. I think we got better as the game went on as far as winning battles there, but we want to try to start the game with a strong neutral zone."
…having a bigger, stronger line-up is likely what the Rangers need to maintain better puck possession as well as winning this loose puck battles in the neutral zone. Let's hope for appearances from Clowe and Dorsett today.
…getting Staal back would be huge as well. As his puck moving ability through the neutral zone is a very under-rated part of his game.Really not much offense being generated from the defense since he went down.
…and when the Capitals are looking to advance the puck through the middle of the ice let's hope McD and Girardi have their heads on a swivel today.

For the past 47 months beer bloggers have been coordinating on a single topic to blog about on the first Friday of the month. This phenomenon is called The Session, which was started by Jay Brooks of Brookston Beer Bulletin and Stan Hieronymus of Appellation Beer. The topic of 47th installment of The Session, hosted here at Beer 47, was Cooking with Beer. The following is a recap of what the participating bloggers had to say about the subject. This subject brought out 21 bloggers and it made me very hungry reading all of these great blog posts.
Update (Jan. 18, 2011): The next Session will be hosted by Simon at The Reluctant Scooper. The topic will be Cask, Keg, Can, Bottle? Simon asks beer bloggers to talk about the container from which the beer is dispensed and how it affects the beer, if at all.
Appelllation Beer – Session #47: A recipe for Stilton Cheese Soup
Stan Hieronymus shared on of his favorite brewpub recipes for Stilton Cheese Soup. This is a recipe that did not make it into a recipe book collection that he and his wife (Daria Labinsky) compiled, called The Brewpub Cookbook. This particular recipe was fromGreat Lakes Brewing in Cleveland, Ohio. "It's rich, with a powerful, sharp Stilton flavor."
Bathtub Brewery – The Session #47 — Cooking With Beer
Delran, NJ: Mel and Ray give us a recipe for Pulled Pork in Kolsch Sauce with Sauerkraut. It looks quite tasty and I wonder if you could make this in a slow cooker? The recipe calls for Kölsch but they also give some other good recommendations. "Your best bets are probably kolsch, anything Belgian (especially dubbel), brown ale, malty English beers and sweeter stouts (perhaps even a coffee stout)."
The Bitten Bullet – Black Beer Chili (Session 47)
Germany: Barry hasn't written a post for The Session in ages but couldn't resist this topic because he tries to use beer in his cooking as often as he can. He provided a recipe for Black Beer Chili made with Schwarzbier, specifically Köstritzer. "I like adding beer to things. In small quantities, like in the chili below, it adds a little depth, a touch of sweetness, and a little bite. Too much, and it might dominate in the wrong way, especially true with bitter beers."
Pencil and Spoon – The Session #47: Cooking with Beer: Scotch Eggs and Beer Mayonnaise
Kent, United Kingdom: Mark also loves cooking with beer and provided 6 links to some of his favorite recipes, which all sound great. He goes on in detail about a recipe he enjoyed for Scotch Eggs and Beer Mayonaise and even provides some tips on how to make it. "Some people seem to think that cooking with beer is a terrible waste, but I'm not one of them. I love how it adds a different depth to food, how parts of the beer's make-up come through in unique ways."
Yours for Good Fermentables – The Session #47: Cooking with Beer [Beer Rice]
Washington D.C.: Thomas tells us about a recipe called beer rice which calls for Budweiser. "From prep to eat, it's no more than 60 minutes … And, yes, that's a Bud in my blog."
Ramblings of a Beer Runner – The Session #47: Sharp Knives, Boiling Liquids, and a Good Beer Buzz
Belmont, CA: Derrick writes his post about drinking beer while cooking but warns us to be careful while we're doing it because those knives are sharp. "When cooking, drinking a beer that pairs well with what's on the menu helps me to focus better on what I'm preparing."
Musings Over a Pint – The Session #47 – Cooking With Beer
Fredericksburg, VA: David creates a virtual meal of dishes made with beer or dishes that pair well with beer. On the menu: Red Pepper Crostini and Olivada, served with Heavy Seas Red Sky at Night, Slow Cooked Pale Ale Spicy Beef, and Beeramisu. David says the following about the spicy beef dish, "This simple recipe has become a staple in our household. It's a crock pot recipe, so it is easy to prepare and it especially fitting for those days when we know we'll be needing a quick dinner that evening."
brew.cook.pair.joy – Session #47: Cooking with beer
Southeast Pennsylvania: Although Steph doesn't cook with beer very often, she provides a few suggestions and recipes for using beer in your food. Steph suggests braising meat such as beef and sausages, beer bread, and beer ice cream. "Play around with different styles — light, dark, mild, bold, malty, hoppy, low-alcohol, high-octane, whatevs. If it sucks, learn from that and try something different next time. If it's awesome, revel in your culinary genius!"
Reluctant Scooper – The Session #47: Cooking With Beer
UK: Simon writes about a few successful experiences with beer in food but focuses on the problems that you can encounter when adding beer to your dishes and why those problems occur. "I have some real issues with beer as an ingredient. Because I've had too many great-sounding dishes that wasted good beer and too many basic dishes that buggered up the very notion of using beer as an ingredient."
A Good Beer Blog – Session 47: Putting Beer In Your Cooking Is A-OK
Alan suggests using Allagash Odyssey in a mushroom dish with shallots, onions, leeks, and a bunch of mushrooms. "My favorite thing? Odyssey by Allagash in Maine is the greatest beer for making mushroom dishes."
Beer Search Party – Session # 47
Sean doesn't really cook so instead he offers up his dream beer dinner. He starts the meal with sharp cheddar quesadillas, moves to a Kobe flank steak in a Flanders Red spiked sauce, and ends with a dessert of apple pie a la mode with an apple beer ice cream. "And since I do not have many beer dinners under my belt either, I can't really comment on what works really well and what doesn't. I do know a good amount about beer floats (but that really doesn't involve cooking)."
Central State Asylum – The Session #47: Cod Brandade
Indiana: Jim made a dish called Cod Brandade, which he found in a recent issue of Beer Connoisseur magazine. Being that this is quite a complicated recipe, Jim provides numerous tips to make it successfully. "The end result is sort of like fancy fish sticks, well fish balls, sitting on top of really fancy ketchup. That might not sound great to you, but it sounds excellent to me."
Beer PHXation – Cooking With Beer
Phoenix, AZ: The folks at Beer PHXation found a few restaurants, local to Phoenix, that use beer in their food. The let you know where you can get beer bread, beer pizza crust, and an oatmeal stout shake. They've also listed a few places that have beer dinners. "We hope you will seek out these dishes and others throughout the valley that use beer as an ingredient and explore cooking with beer at home. Not only does beer deserve a place on the dinner table, it should not be neglected on the plate either."
Grabbing the Gusto – Shattering All Your Resolutions: Beer Cheese Soup
Raleigh, NC: Dierdre made beer cheese soup and even provides the recipe and it looks delicious. She made the soup with Sam Adams Boston Ale and served it up with beer brats and red cabbage. "It's important to select the right beer for this soup. If you like light malty lagers (the industry giants) they will probably work well, but they won't add much flavor."
A Beer in the Hand is Worth Two in the Fridge – Session #47- Beer Brownies
Central Pennsylvania: Jay has experimented making brownies with stouts and porters and provides us with a recipe from stout brownies from CraftBeer.com. " What makes eating a delicious stout brownie even better is that you can wash it down with another stout. If you use a milk stout for in the brownie, try Lancaster Milk Stout, I would think that milk would wash the brownie down as well as anything else."
beer.bobarnott.com – The Session #47 – Tempura Vegetables
UK: Bob explains that he usually doesn't like to waste good beer on food but has recently been using a botched batch of homebrew for cooking. He provides a quick recipe for making his tempura vegetables and the beer he chose was Adnams Spindrift. In the end Bob concludes, "To be honest, I don't think using beer for tempura batter is the best use for your beer, especially a light a fruity number like Spindrift. Neither my wife nor I could detect any beery flavours in the batter, although I thought the beer actually went quite well as a pairing."
BeerTaster.ca – Session 47 – Cooking with Beer
Canada: Devoid loves cooking with beer and gives us a tasty chicken recipe for the BBQ. "I personally love to cook with beer. Some of the tastiest meals I've prepared with beer have been the simplest like Camembert cheese and beer melt."
The Brew Site – The Session #47: Cooking with Beer
Bend, OR: Jon doesn't really cook with beer so he tried something quite unconventional. He made a hot mulled beer that sounds very intriguing. Jon finishes by making a New Year resolution, "I think for 2011 I will start to do some in-depth exploration of cooking with beer. Beginning with some mulled beer this weekend."
Thirsty Pilgrim – Session #47: Cooking and Blogging WITH Beer
Joe is another blogger that like to have a beer while cooking and not necessarily using it as an ingredient in food recipes. He did try cooking with beer once and says, "Once I made a carbonnade with Westvleteren. What a damnable waste."
BetterBeerBlog – The Session #47: Cooking with Beer
San Jose, CA: Peter teamed up with a friend of his, Arie, to cook with beer, specifically beer bread. This is no ordinary beer bread, Peter tells us that Arie has been cooking beer for decades and you can tell by the photos alone. Peter does a great job of chronicling exactly how to make the bread, complete with photos. I can't wait to try this out. "After having Arie's bread, I can easily see how civilizations have been powered by the simple loaf."
Beer47 – Cooking with Beer: Lamb Patties, Kölsch Salad, & Beer Brats for The Session #47
San Francisco, CA: For my contribution I made three different recipes, which I found from various sources: Norwegian lamb patties with spiced baltic porter gravy, Kölsch chevre spinach salad, and beer brats. I also discovered that you need to pay attention to the bitterness of the beer that you are using for cooking. "Be very careful of your selection of beer for your recipe. Try adding a little at a time and see how it tastes to make sure it doesn't come out too bitter. If the recipe calls for a style that is not normally bitter, then stick with the maltier less bitter styles of beer."

Veasey Laboratory
Dr. Sigrid Veasey has developed a major program of research on oxidative injury neurons in murine models of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), work that is ready for clinical translation.
Dr. Veasey's laboratory focuses on neural injury incurred by hypoxia/reoxygenation events of obstructive sleep apnea. Over the past year her lab identified the specific wake active neuronal populations injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation, the two catecholaminergic groups the noradrenergic locus coeruleus and dopmainergic periacqueductal grey wake neurons. By comparing phenotypes and responses in these vulnerable to resistant wake neuronal populations, her group identified NADPH oxidase as a major contributor to the oxidative injury. Dr. Veasey is now comparing and contrasting these responses with other groups of neurons known to be injured in obstructive sleep apnea. The goal is to find major mechanisms of injury in hippocampal, hypothalamic and cortical neurons and then begin translational studies to identify the optimal overall pharmacotherapeutic approach to prevent or minimize neural injury in sleep apnea.

HONG KONG — Years ago Macau snatched the title of the world's biggest gambling hub from Las Vegas, and now it wants a slice of the boxing action too.
With Manny Pacquiao following Chinese star Zou Shiming to the glitzy casino haven near Hong Kong, Macau looks set to copy Vegas by becoming a boxing capital — with promoters eyeing a huge potential audience in China.
The November 24 bout, between Pacquiao and American Brandon Rios in the semi-autonomous territory, will be the biggest pro fight yet on Chinese soil. Not surprisingly, it will be financially advantageous for all concerned.
Filipino Pacquiao, 34, once considered the world's best pound-for-pound fighter but now battling back from two consecutive losses, saves a fortune in American tax. He has not fought outside the US since 2006.
Macau, and especially The Venetian, the giant casino-resort that is hosting the fight, gains more visitors, a higher profile, and helps diversify its image.
And top US promoter Bob Arum brings another big event to China, which he calls the "new destination for big-time boxing".
Zou's win against Eleazar Valenzuela last month drew 300-million television viewers in the country.
Organisers say no final decision has been made on the Pacquiao-Rios fight's timing, although expectations are high that it will be on the morning of November 24, which is a Sunday, to hit Saturday night television audiences in the US. The unusual start time could copy the strategy used way back in 1975, for the legendary Thrilla in Manila, when Muhammad Ali fought Joe Frazier from 10.45am in the Filipino capital.
Macau's gambling profits overtook Las Vegas in 2006 and Glenn McCartney, assistant professor of gaming and hospitality management at the University of Macau, said it now needed to diversify.
"Historically it's been labelled as a gaming destination," he said. "In Vegas, 15 or 20 years ago they realised they could make money from other tourism or business streams. There can be a tremendous multiplier effect. You want to get a positive branding that this is now a city of diversity."
Arum tested the waters for Macau as a big fight venue in April, when China's shining hope Zou fought his professional debut there.
Signing up the country's most successful amateur was a shrewd move by Arum, founder and CE of Top Rank promotions, who can clearly smell the big money to be made in the country of 1.3-billion people.


text: The Angel of Death wiki last edited by fesak on 03/03/14 01:49PM View full history Perhaps the Angel wouldn't mind being The Angel of Death, he thought, if he had been the Angel of Death from the beginning.In the beginning, of course, there was no death. Only God and the Angelic Host. But then God made Humanity, and Humans were born to die. They did it quite well, actually, almost from the moment they were created. And so someone had to go around and collect their souls, bringing them to either Heaven or Hell. God sure wasn't going to do it, so he chose one of his Angels.The Angel of Death did his job, the way a good angel would. But he didn't like it. Man's inhumanity to man got to him after a while, and every century seemed to get worse. In fact, he'd seen the plans for the 20th Century, and he knew that it was all going to get much worse indeed.So, when a soul turned up in Hell that actually wanted nothing more than to kill, the Angel had a great idea. He would renounce his position, have his sword melted down into a pair of guns, and allow this new Saint Of Killers to take his place. Only moments later, the Saint slaughtered the Devil and made the Angel of Death weep and beg at the barrel of one of his Divine Colts...the Saint let him live.The Angel's current whereabouts are unknown.

By Tim Stevens, Temecula, CA —The BMW F800ST found few fans, largely due to confusion over whether it was a sportsbike or sport tourer. To settle the matter ST has been kicked into touch and replaced by the 2013 BMW F800GT. New look, a little more power, a different riding position, plus a host of [...]

the opposite of underneath. You have to reach over, then under to reach it
I had to reach overneath to get it

Something that's normally worn as an undergarment when worn over your outer clothing.
(Ex)Bra over blouse or boxers over jeans.

On top of something.
Taylor: Hey Zach, where's the Alphabet of Manliness? I wanted to read the chapter on Zombies again.
Zach: Oh, it's overneath the table.

One who has all knowledge of the word/terminology schlonge. And uses the word daily, and most likely likes to play with his/her schlonge daily as well.
"Kanye is so the schlonge master, because he likes playing with his schlonge daily inside other girls, and uses the word every day when he is talking to his grandmom."

Personal History:
I obtained my undergraduate degree from Queen Elizabeth College, University of London, and my Ph.D. from the MRC National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill London. I stayed at the NIMR to study the molecular biology of cytoskeleton proteins. I then moved to the USA, where I trained with Dr. Don Cleveland, then at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, on the molecular genetics of neurofilaments. In 1989, I obtained a faculty position at the Medical Biotechnology Center, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, which in 2010, merged with University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Research Interests:
We seek to understand the mechanisms that cause neurodegenerative diseases, with the aim of devising rational therapies to treat these diseases. We are particularly interested in the role that protein misfolding plays in the etiology of these diseases. The accumulation of misfolded and aggregated proteins is a common phenomenon seen in many neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormalities in protein accumulation arise because of defects in the quality control systems that normally function to recognize and eliminate misfolded proteins from cells.
A focus of our lab is to identify the molecular components and operations of the machinery that function to eliminate misfolded proteins from cells and how defects in these systems can lead to activation of signaling pathways causing disease. A particular focus is on proteins first identified by my lab—the human ubiquilin proteins - that function in protein degradation pathways. Mutations in ubiquilin genes have been found to cause neurodegenerative diseases.
A recent focus is geared toward understanding how mutations in one of these genes, UBQLN2, cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We use a combination of cell and molecular biology, biochemical, and genetic approaches together with mammalian cell, nematode (C. elegans), and mouse models for our investigations. We recently developed several UBQLN2 mouse models of ALS that will allow us to investigate the molecular mechanisms that trigger disease and to test therapeutic strategies to halt disease.

Dutch Oven Fajaitas
Fajitas braised for hours until they fall apart in your mouth.
- 1-2 pounds Flank Stead
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 whole Jalapeno, chopped
- 1/2 cup Roased Red Peppers, chopped
- 1/2 whole Onion, chopped
- 2 whole Bell Peppers, sliced
- 8 Whole Wheat Tortillas
- 1 whole Avocado, for topping
- 1 whole Lime, for topping
- 1 bunch Cilantro, for topping
In a dutch oven, stir together all spices, soy sauce, coriander seeds, jarred red peppers, chopped onion, jalapeno and garlic.
With half of the mixture in the bottom of the dutch oven, place flank steak on top. With remaining second half of mixture, pour over the flank steak coating it.
Place on stove over medium low heat for 5 hours, or until the meat pull apart with a pair of forks. During last hour of cooking, slice bell peppers, removing the seeds and place into dutch oven to steam and cook.
The fresh peppers will retain their structure, where the jarred peppers will be nearly indistinguishable after cooking.
Serve with warm tortillas, and any other extra toppings you like – such as, cheese, cilantro, avocado, and slices of lime for spritzing on top.
it looks very good to me I am going to try it too.
