Hi Guys,
There aren't many glass carboys here, but there are lots of plastic 5 gallon water bottles available. What are the pros and cons of using them instead of glass.
I'd be careful using plastic water bottles. They might (likely do) have micro-scratches inside that could prevent adequate sanitation for one, but the biggie IMO is that they are permeable to oxygen over time so not great for storage/conditioning. Probably OK for the primary if you need to get going. Alternatives? Mailorder a carboy, or one of the new "Betterbottle" plastics that are supposed to be impermeable to O2. Some water companies that do 5-gal bottled water for offices still have 5-gallon glassies you can get for a deposit. Glass carboys often are available at auctions and yard sales too, Or do one-gallon batches in glass juice jugs.
Really I'd recommend finding glass if you can arrange it. Ever come down towards Boulder?

For a 5 gallon batch, I'd agree. Make the splurge. You can also try large hobby type shops. Around here we have a "New River Pottery" that has had cheap 5 gallon glass carboys from time to time. I'm going to post a new topic on finding suppliers....
I'm not a brewing supplier, but I play one in my taproom
I'm not positive, but Boulder may be the closest shop for you. What's Brewin' is a very low-key local shop with quality ingredients and doodads. I managed the shop there for a time, but have moved on since and can recommend them as good people. Unfortunately no internet vending. We had lots of folks from your neck come down and stock up; dry wine yeasts keep for well over a year and most nutrients/acids/etc virtually indefinitely. Certainly worth swinging in for carboys, stoppers, airlocks, and the basics: shipping carboys is expensive! If it's only a couple times a year, time one of them for (maybe) February 2006's International Mead Festival which has been a true gem in past sessions, educational for the palatte and the mind if not the liver [img]redface.gif[/img]
Also, if you're feeling froggy, check out the area meaderies Medovina Meadery in Niwot (beekeeper's meadery, very kind and knowledgeable guy) and also Redstone Meadery in Boulder, with a tasting room and a wide variety of meads. Boulder's a great town for a tasting day!

I buy carboys from www.homebrew.com and get them shipped. If you include the cost of gas, I can get them shipped to my house for the same price as driving to the closest brewshop and buying them there.

FWIW, I agree on the glass vs. plastic - stick with glass. When you buy your carboys, make sure to pick up a plastic dipped metal handle for each that permanently clamps on the carboy neck - makes hauling and handling MUCH easier.
I mail ordered all my carboys. Back when I bought them, the mail order price was better than at the local shops. It's been a while tho, so I don't remember exactly where I got mine.
If you have access to a water cooler, grab some of the plastic caps that come on the water-filled plastic carboys. Even after they've been torn off, they still seal a carboy well enough for storage (keeping dust out). I store mine full of lightly-chlorinated water so they're ready for their next use.
Careful with thermal shock with glass. When I was just learning, I figured I'd sanitize by pouring boiling water into my carboy - cracked the bottom out clean, and I ended up with a glass disk and a big glass funnel! Other than that one loss, my glass carboys (with handles) have held up great for over 10 years!

Which one is better, in your opinion?

Which one is better, in your opinion?
This is the way I look at is if I wanted a Ruger revolver for HD, it would be the GP100 with the 4" or even possibly the 6" barrel. Heavier barrel means less recoil. Also, the hammer can be cocked for a lighter SA trigger if desired.
If I wanted a Ruger revolver for Carry, it would be the SP101 with a 2.25" barrel and the shaved hammer. The grip is also shorter and would be easier to conceal on the SP101.
A GP100 could easily be carried with the right holster/belt and garments just like any other firearm, but it wouldn't be my first choice for carry. YMMV.
I have carried a GP100 4" but totaly agree with BB. If you can afford it buy two guns. If not the SP101 in 3"
Good luck
I have to agree with BB too. Thats exactly my setup. 6" GP100 for HD and one fun range gun & 2.25" SP101 for CC.
...that I traded into recently is the best-shooting revolver I've owned in years...I carry the .38Spl 158gr LSWCHP+P and that's all the power I need...it hides as well as my S&W Bodyguard 2"...which I carry for backup...both IWB at 11 and 12 o'clock respectively...the 4" all have adj. sights and I don't like them...the extra inch isn't important to me....
I went with the 2.25 SP101 with a spurless hammer for CCW. I love it. It conceals well, and, even though it is small, it is heavy enough to absorb the shock of the .357 Magnum loads. I am contemplating my next gun for home defense. Perhaps I'll get a GP100 or maybe a 1911 . . .
The GP-100 is a great revolver. With a good set of grip stocks, it can handle any .357 Magnum load out there. It is a very good home defense gun, or a good sidearm to carry when hunting. If you put over sized grips on it to help with heavy-hitting loads, it's a bit hard to conceal, though.
The SP-101 is the strongest of all the snub-nosed revolvers, and also the heaviest, which makes it a little more pleasant to shoot, but a little more uncomfortable to carry. But, it is still easier to carry than a 1911, and is my choice for the smallest .357 magnum. Anything lighter than the SP-101, and I'll drop down to a .38 special chambering, and just use 158 gr. +P loads.
The light-weight .357's are not much fun to shoot, and practice is very important with a smaller gun, because they are considerably harder to shoot well, due to the shortened sighting radius. My personal preference is the ~3" model SP-101, because the extra barrel length is not really any harder to conceal with a good IWB holster (since it is really the grip that must be hidden), and that extra inch makes quite a bit of difference in my ability to shoot it accurately.
Never handled a SP101 but I love my GP100.
Built solid and handles 357 recoil real good.
I have both and love them.. I think you need 2 guns though as the GP is a bit harder to conceal, but is a great shooter..
The SP is a little tough on your hands shooting the 357 loads, so i use them mainly for carry, shoot some at the range for practice but shoot mostly the 38sp loads at the range.
Once you buy one you will buy the other they are that nice.
+1 all the above. One big and one little. Both excellent. GP100 3" and SP101 3" split the middle/difference to serve double duty for ccw and home defense. The 4" GP100 would be a bit much to tote around in my humble opinion but a great home defense revolver.

There are a lot of services an MSP can sell its customers, but almost every MSP includes BDR services as one of its core offerings. For this month's product review, Business Solutions once again turned to MSP Remote Technology Management (RTM). CEO Eric Brown and Technical Manager Kevin Danis tested seven BDR solutions in their Massachusetts test lab over a two-week period, investing more than 40 hours. True to RTM's conclusion when it tested RMM (remote monitoring and management) products for our January issue, Brown says, "There is no single solution that meets every MSP's needs perfectly." To that end, we share highlights of RTM's tests of the following vendors: Asigra, Axcient, CharTec, Datto, KineticD, StorageCraft, and Unitrends. The MSP met with key product experts from each of the above vendor companies and went through the onboarding process with each one.
After reviewing this product, describe your overall assessment.
Customer service is excellent when it comes to the appliance and the backup agent. All answers were correct and received quickly via their ticket system (accessible to only the reseller), and they have a well-documented knowledge base, which is also accessible to the reseller only. The support fell short when it came to backups involving Apple. Datto supports an AFP share functionality to enable it as a TimeMachine backup target. It took sever tickets and escalations to get the AFP share accessible to the Mac agent.

What would you suggest to someone starting a new fashion label, given the hardships currently facing both the industry and economy? Perhaps you'd suggest they be clever, careful and innovative. See if they can explore a page of the fashion books, one that everyone is acquainted with, but that has so far been left uncomprehended.
When Sydney designers, Beth and Tess Macgraw, imagined a high-fashion label on the terrace of their SoHo apartment in Manhattan, the aforementioned concerns hovered over their dream.
However, two years later, this New York dream became a tangible reality, when the sisters designed their first collection and saw eponymous 'macgraw' come to life.
Fashion labels are created everyday, however. So the question is, what makes macgraw different? What makes them worthy of your wardrobe? For a start they offer up a model for Australia's fashion industry to save itself, designing and making their clothes in the country (something that is sadly rare). Equally as important, though, they offer up an inimitable and aesthetically sharp collection sure to make them an international hit.
Firmly in love with their first collection, Fashionising.com sat down with the label's two designers and asked them to lead us into the world of 'macgraw'.
Battling against the odds of the industry, it took two years for the macgraw girl to come alive from the sketchbook to the clothing rack. The question is, who is she?
Simple, classic, confident and slyly sexy; this macgraw girl isn't too naughty, but she knows exactly how to project her body. She is not your average high street, fast-fashion variety.
Macgraw's spring / summer 2012 / 2013 collection, titled Wallflower, is distinctively classic. The creamy and camel hues highlight the laser-cuts and embroidery on the garments, and the silhouette sculpts the body in a refined and sharp manner.
The minimalist sophistication of high necklines flirts with the subtle sensuality of sheer fabrics, but it's done in a nonconventional manner, something we're not tired of seeing. That's the standout point of macgraw – there's no repetition or plagiarism, and you'll also be spared from the now-common 'homage to whatever-era' talk.
Its modernistic approach aims to reach out to a preppy girl-next-door who is au fait with the norms of the curated wardrobe.
As Beth Macgraw puts it, "our macgraw girl appreciates quality. She is a lady who often finds herself in the luxe to less situation… do you eat or do you buy that jacket? This girl would spend that little extra money to ensure she doesn't have a clone at the café".
The Macgraw sisters want to keep the vision for their label fresh and unique, what might seem like an obvious aspiration from designers of a new label, but truth be told, contemporaries are in for some serious competition.
So how would they get past this industry cliché? By steering away from ongoing industry trends and creating a niche in the market, that's how.
Beth says, "You can't keep up with the Zaras and Topshops of the world; that's not our market. We're doing what we like, [and] we are putting quality back in the market".
It's a muse world
Speaking of quality, the designers have created several versions of their ideal macgraw girl. One sits in Parisian shoes, imagined by way of their admiration for French fashion houses Chloe and Paul and Joe, and the other hopes to rule the world of street-style akin to Alexa Chung.
"We love shirting and the art of a structured trench – it's so English – having British muses is a given. I'd die if Alexa or Kate Moss walked the streets of London in a macgraw outfit," adds Tess Macgraw.
New York diaries
Regardless of citing London and Paris on their inspiration board, macgraw traces back to New York, the city where it all began.
Abiding by the Australian tradition of escaping away to another part of the world for months-at-time, Beth and Tess rented an apartment in Manhattan for 2010. What started as a holiday, ended up being a yearlong business brainstorm for the sisters. It was at this time that the drawing of the flower pattern seen in their debut collection came about.
Made in Australia
Even after mapping out every minute detail amongst the skyscrapers, the one thing that was very close to the designers' heart was "selling a 100 percent Australia-made brand".
Macgraw's starting point for each of their collection is quality. The sisters pride themselves on taking no shortcuts during the process of design and manufacturing. From fabric sourcing to garment manufacturing, macgraw's life and soul is based in Sydney and its surrounds.
"It's a harder route, no doubt," says Tess. "It would be cheaper and easier for us if we didn't manufacture [in Australia] and took it all overseas. But that's not what macgraw is about; we want to support local talent and Australian fashion."
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in 2009, the country's clothing imports rose 17%, pouring the Australian market with 1.2 billion units of clothing a year, three quarters of which came from China. While another figure from TFIA (the Council of Textile and Fashion Industries of Australia) shows that in 2010, 95% of Australian fashion production was done overseas.
Considering these gloomy figures, entering the tough arena of local manufacturing would be measured as a brave move, but Macgraw sisters are up for the challenge. Tess says they're aware of what the market needs. "Stores need to be able to sell the stock, so we know what we're doing is difficult. But we're also not putting a price tag of some hundred thousand dollars on our clothes. For what you're getting, macgraw is pretty affordable," she says.
For this collection, the price tags range from $185 through to $1,000 for a trench coat, but its justification goes back to the authenticity of the threads and its craftsmanship.
While you'll undoubtedly find the label stocked online soon enough, it's the touch and feel of fabric is vital. You need to let the garment hold you, and that's how you'll qualify as a macgraw girl.
Where to next for macgraw?
"A spot on level five of Bloomingdales would be nice, but for now, envisioning a stand-alone show at MBFWA [Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia] is where we're at. You might not see us doing cartwheels like Betsey Johnson, though," say the Macgraw sisters in harmony.
You can see all of the debut macgraw spring 2012 collection by clicking on the thumbnails and browsing through the gallery.

15 minute lunches
Mr Rabbit likes to utilise the cooking facilities at his work to do more interesting lunches than your average toasted sandwiches. He's used the little toasty oven to do slow cooked lamb shanks, he's also used it for fish in a bag. He's also tried the pot noodle recipes from that river cottage bloke.
Being that we are now in a bit of a 15 minute meals love affair, does anyone have any ideas for hot (or warm) lunches that can be made in 15 minutes with your standard lunch room equipment.
They have:
sandwich press
toaster oven
regular toaster
boiling water

Re: 15 minute lunches
Is this stuff to make fresh, rather than reheatable stuff brought from home? Cos my first thought was calzones - they're easier to reheat than pasties, as you can microwave them without ruining the crust. Then if you have a toaster oven type thing you could crisp them up.

Is the panini press ribbed or flat?

Re: 15 minute lunches
I think it's ribbed.
And yet to make fresh.

Re: 15 minute lunches
Jamie does waffles on a griddle pan, if the press is flat, maybe you could do that.
By flat I mean not angled, otherwise the batter would dribble out. It would have to be ribbed to make sort of waffles. If it's smooth AND flat, you could make pancakes (drop scones or crepes), crumpets, muffins, all sorts like that. Maybe even an omelette, although that might run off the side.

OMG. That is the coolest home-engineered gun ever!!
*SIGH* I've been having difficulties with 'big brother' on this build. So, I won't be finishing my build...
What kind of troubles? Calling you? E-mail?Tell them they can watch you make a legal rifle on the forum and if they keep harassing you then call a lawyer and sue for a million!
I posted it about it on ARFCOM. I had a running thread documenting how I was building it, but after these troubling issues, I just had the thread deleted and stopped the project.
It's a fight I'm in no way prepared to undertake at this point in my life...
I posted my apology here...
Sorry guys.
I need to make one of those..
I have my feed tray and top cover mounted. When I attempt to cycle ammo through by hand the rounds do not want to drop down. they just want to go strait forward and run into the cartridge guide. I have looked every thing over and I just cant seem to figure it out. Thank you all..
You might need to bend the tip of the cartridge depressor down slightly. It is heat treated so you should heat it to a dull read before you try bending it. Be sure you remove it from the top cover assembly before you do. You don't want to anneal the cartridge depressor spring. First try beveling the feed ramp or what I think you are referring to as the cartridge guide so the tip of the bullet is deflected down into the mouth of the chamber. A Dremal tool works great for that. After you bevel it, polish it with a Dremal polishing tip.
Well thank you for the tips. CNC trailrider said that I should post some pics of the problem so here they are I am afraid that my problem is severe enough that beveling the feed ramp is not enough. Also how much of it can I remove and still be safe? The bright area on the cartridge depressor is were I TIG it back together after I cut it too short. In your opinion will it hold being welded or shout I get a new plate?

REDLANDS - The San Bernardino County Museum held a Family Fun Day on Saturday to show how easy gardening is in the Inland Empire.
"Celebrate Gardens" offered everything from practical gardening techniques to turning a barren backyard into a vegetation oasis.
Children could learn about gardening through art making, story reading, crafts, games, and poetry writing.
Nkiruka Emembolu, 5, of Redlands said she was having fun.
Asked what she had learned, she said, "How to plant stuff."
Shari Tindall of the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District gave children seeds to start their own gardens.
"I think it's cool," said 7-year-old Ryan Kennedy of Riverside.
"Celebrate Gardens" also included poetry workshops so families could create their own poems about gardening.
Slow Foods Redlands presented the "Lexicon of Sustainability," which presented posters about the benefits of locally grown foods and sustainable farming.
"It puts it in a picture and people understand it. It's very engaging and it's very accessible," said Slow Foods Redlands President Stephanie Georgieff. "We have actually changed two people's consciousness today in a 10-second experience. To me, that is awesome."
One of those people was 23-year-old Grand Terrace resident Korrina Jaure, who said she tries to eat healthy, sustainable foods as much as possible.
"I didn't know the difference between pasteurized and cage-free eggs," Jaure said of a poster detailing the benefits of free-range eggs. "After seeing that, I am going to start looking more closely."
"It did its job," said Georgieff.
She also said eating locally grown food could create jobs for Redlands and reduce pollution.
Master gardners Lauree Simpson and Patti Wall suggested people plant something small.
"Grow things. Get outside. California is wonderful - you can grow year-around," said Simpson.
"And don't get discouraged if something dies," said Wall. "When you get that first orange...or that first tomato, it's all worthwhile."

About Us
As demonstrated in "Caked" and "81", the music of Harvard Bass is a combination of elegant, smooth and sophisticated minimalism on one side and bad ass dirty jacking ghetto house grooves with filthy drums and simple, obsessive riffs on the other.And fresh from their smashing debut EP "Spraycan" on Switch's Dubsided imprint, Finnish duo Renaissance Man provide a slamming remix of "81" in the form of percussive house jam in true Sound Pellegrino fashion, foreshadowing their highly anticipated S.P. release "What Is Guru / Aloha" in the coming weeks! That's what's up.

GPG disappeared, even some on FALfiles don't know where he went, I'll have to check back and see if someone has chimed in with where he went... I'd much rather have a century frankenfal than a new DSA, more old milsurp parts in them. The DSA reciever might be leaps and bounds ahead of a century one, but the rest of the gun is a step back from the milsurp parts on the century guns.
You can put a folding charging handle on it. You can either cut the handle or the reciever to make it latch in the forward position, I'd cut the charging handle because it's the cheaper part, even if that isn't how it was done on the originals.
You can get a new lower for $50 or so if you look around. I looked at para stocks for a while, but eventually figured it wasn't worth the extra expense. $400 is a lot of ammo!
ETA:The recoil spring tubes can be very hard to get off, expect to wreck the old one getting it off of the lower.

So at this rate, unless we get a great value pick, should we ignore WR for the 2013 draft? I think the draft picks we've spent there combined with Cruz's emergence make any more additions to the position sort of bloated. Guess it depends on if we keep or lose Cruz though.
1. JPP- That is the only easy one, then it gets tough..
2. Hakeem Nicks- All though hes injury prone, he is just such a sensational talent and as good as cruz is, i still give Nicks the edge in the competiton to be called our best WR..
3. Linval Joseph- Space eaters that can apply some pressure are tough to find.. He makes life alot easier on our DE's and LB's for that matter.. He does so many things that don't show up in the boxscore..
4. Vic Cruz- I love em.. Everyone knows i expected em to make the team as a UDF.. Its just this list is hard to do and someone has to be at or near the bottom of the list..
5. Kenny Phillips
JPP is probably the only one out of the bunch who is guaranteed to return. You don't let guys like JPP who can do everything at the position go away. Things get a little tough between Nicks and Cruz because all of us here are pretty smart and realize the odds of keeping them both are slim to none. The major factor here I feel will be how Reese views Nicks and his future mainly regarding his health. We have a history of letting DTs go and I can only hope someone like Kuhn steps up so we can let go of Canty instead. KP might come down to how good Will Hill plays as the season progresses but it's also possible (and more likely) that Rolle gets cut with his current level of play.
If veterans like Webster, Tuck, Rolle, etc. don't show up enough this season, we're going to have some serious cap room.
Furthermore, I would add that there are rumors that Chris Canty has been a bit quiet about exactly what procedure he had done to his knee this offseason. I am now starting to hear that he had mircofracture surgery, although he will niether confirm or deny. If that is the case, I do not think we can keep him here under his current contract.
This is the 1st offseason where Reese will have to make really hard choices.
I believe Joseph > Canty and yet Canty makes about 6 mil more. I believe the difference in Antrel Rolle and Will hill do not justify the near 7 mil difference in salary.

The Jodi Arias case, or "Mormon murder trial", is currently playing out in the US media like an exquisitely written soap opera. (Clichéd but true.) It is utterly absorbing; to the point I will willingly sacrifice hours of sleep in order to catch up on the latest developments. And send all my friends multiple news links with many exclamation marks; prompting one to ask "Is this spam?"
No!!! Not spam!!!! The trial involves 32-year-old photographer Jodi Arias, who is charged with the murder of her ex-boyfriend, Mormon motivational speaker Travis Alexander. The two were sexually obsessed with each other and had a undeniably unhealthy dynamic, culminating in Travis being found in his shower with 29 stab wounds, nearly decapitated with his throat slit from ear to ear, and two gunshots to the face.
Jodi's story has changed three times: initially she claimed she hadn't seen Travis for months before his murder. Then she admitted to being at the scene, but blamed his death on masked intruders.
Finally, years later, she confessed to the crime.
Her defence counsel is now arguing Alexander was physically abusive and that Jodi was a victim of battered women syndrome. But (even though Travis is emerging as a less than honorable guy) there's very little evidence this was the case.
If Jodi is found guilty of first-degree murder she'll likely be executed, becoming the fourth woman on Arizona's death row. So, heavy stuff. But there are weighty cases every day in the US. Why does this one have everyone so enthralled?
We take Jodi's lies personally
As behaviour expert Patti Wood says of the trial: "Our central nervous system as a viewer is disturbed in the presence of deceit. It stresses our bodies out."
When Jodi lies, and there have been so many blatant falsities - from writing false journal entries to forging letters by Travis in which he claims to be a pedophile - she is essentially lying to us too. Or at least that's how it feels, which is then exacerbated by the fact this case is inexplicably wide open to the public.
Bread and circus
This is a public trial in every sense of the word. It's almost unnerving, like gaining access to somewhere you're not sure you should be. Which makes it almost impossible not to watch.
To start, the court proceedings are being live streamed. And YouTube houses hours of unedited footage of Jodi being questioned in custody. (You can even - if it appeals - watch her do a handstand, sing songs and talk to herself when left alone, something even the jury won't see). The trial's photographic evidence - including shots of Alexander in the shower; his autopsy; pages from Jodi's diary; and various emails and text messages - is online also.
Adding further to the spectacle, chief prosecutor Juan Martinez was berated in court for signing autographs outside the courtroom, and members of the public sit inside watching the proceedings as though at the cinema. It all has the slightly surreal, slightly perverse, can't look-away effect of blurring entertainment with real life tragedy.
Obsession and identification
Jodi and Alexander's affair was sex-fueled, dramatic, and obsessive. Most of us - whether it's firsthand experience or vis-à-vis our friends - can personally identify with the themes at its heart: be it infatuation, forbidden fruit, power plays, disappointment, deception, or a broken heart. In the case of Jodi Arias, they just happen to be writ devastatingly and inhumanely large.
Beauty or beast
Jodi is an attractive woman and that matters, whether it should or shouldn't. Photo galleries of her "sexy pics" abound, and much has been made of the fact she changed her glamorous blonde curled hair to mousy brown for the trial, adding "nerdy glasses" to the mix. "She used to look like a little doll, a little sex kitten with that long blonde hair. Now she looks about 12," said "image consultant and makeup artist" Devy Walker, to WPTV.
Will Jodi's conservative new appearance enamour her to the jury or come across as calculated? And are juries less likely to convict attractive people, overall? (Depressingly, yes.)
Either way, Jodi's looks are not an insignificant to the case, a fact brought to the fore once again when chief prosecutor Juan Martinez publicly accused the defence-appointed psychologist (who diagnosed Jodi with PTSD and amnesia) of having feelings for the 32-year-old.
Sex versus religion
It's a sensitive combination, topic-wise, and one that's come up frequently in Jodi's trial, mainly by the defence counsel in order to taint Travis's character.
The 30-year-old was a devout Morman elder - he even baptised Jodi two months after they met. But his constant internal battle around premarital sex is well documented, especially when it came to his seemingly nonsensical rules around what he could or could not do.
Essentially, there was Travis the committed, active Mormon, and Travis the sexually active hypocrite. Should his hypocrisy (as it pertained to sex and his faith) even matter, though? Or was it just a tug-o-war between conservative edicts and a young guy's sex drive, the stuff of everyday?
Armchair psychology
As is often the way, media have called on experts to "diagnose" the accused. The general consensus seems to be that Jodi does have some sort of personality disorder - the question really being, which one/s? Narcissism? Borderline? Antisocial?
At the very least, her trial offers compelling discourse on something that affects around 10 per cent of the population but is rarely discussed in public.

text: Farmers filed for a 9.9 percent rate hike in June and implemented it immediately. The rate change covered nearly 300,000 policyholders with a "Texas Family Home Policy." The Office of Public Insurance Counsel, which represents consumers before the state insurance department, said the hike was excessive and argued the company had failed to provide enough data to support the hike. In September, the insurance department contested the rates as well. "We continually evaluate our rates, and we have worked with TDI and OPIC to reach this agreement," Davies said. "We are definitely committed to the Texas marketplace and we consented to reducing the rate." Farmers agreed to reduce rates without admitting to any violations of state insurance code, according to the agreement. "This is good news for Farmers's policyholders," said Jerry Hagins, a spokesman for the insurance department. "It's an example of rate regulation at work." The lack of refunds for consumers, however, highlights flaws in the state's oversight of insurance, said Alex Winslow, head of Austin-based consumer group Texas Watch. "Instead of allowing the insurance companies to raise rates willy-nilly, they need to go to the Department of Insurance and get approval first so Texas homeowners aren't stuck paying overcharges needlessly," Winslow said. Under the state's "file and use" system, companies can implement rates as soon as they notify state regulators about them. If the Texas Department of Insurance deems the rates unreasonable, excessive or unfair, it can order the company to pay refunds as well as interest to policyholders. Companies can then contest such orders in court.

Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss
All you need is the right label like this quality stuff in the Asian Food Mart....
Little hard to read, but the last words are "Can trust edible"!!!! seems legit
You can also piece together .." Honey flavored Syrup" from this.. Not honey in my opinion..
That's what my Goldenrod honey looks like after about a month. To re-liquify it you want long slow heat. If you park your car in the sun during the summer that should do it or you can put the jar in a hot water bath.
Same thing happens to mine after a while. One really easy way to re-liquify is to simply put the jars next to a window that gets a lot of sun and let solar power do the job! Only takes a couple warm days to do it, I rotate the jars a time or two.
Intuitively I can agree heat is detrimental to raw honey. Since my operation (as noted by my agriculture census forms) is small scale and costs more to operate than I can buy honey at the whole food stores and because I feel local raw honey provides more benefit than any other type, I don't see the sense in heating by any means. The most I'll do is gently heat the jars in warm water over time to make it more attractive as gifts.
Beyond that, I suspect we'll be rousting the Hatfields and McCoys.
Hey, if you want to nuke your honey by all means do so, I on the other hand agree with Throrope, no heat...to the point that if it crystallizes thats how I sell it. 8)

Red Dirt Apiaries
Common sense would dictate that EXCESSIVE heating would indeed cause issues with honey quality whether it be by microwave or other heat source. I have to assume the people that disagree with the use of a microwave to heat honey haven't thought or realized that you can slow heat with a microwave.
If you have the opportunity this summer, go and set up for sales at your local Farmers Market and have granulated honey AND non granulated (heated) honey for sale. In my experiences there wil be at least 50% of your potential customers that absolutely will not buy granulated honey no matter the health benefits. If your customer base is strong on the health benefits of honey you should consider selling your cappings to people battling allergies. Once you've built up a clientele that has realized the benefits of chewing cappings you can price it as high as your conscience will allow.
" In my experiences there wil be at least 50% of your potential customers that absolutely will not buy granulated honey no matter the health benefits. "
I have just got back from the farmers market. In my case ( today) about 20% went for the crystalised honey - most prefer the liquid stuff.
I was born in Switzerland. In my country of birth liquid honey was hardly known. The same applies to most of Europe and NZ.The reason is simple - the relatively low temperatures in these countries results in crystalising honey much quicker then in my sub-tropicsl home of choice.
Here's an interesting thread on microwaving honey...

After a busy year, Nothing Trivial star Shane Cortese is spending his holidays at home with his wife and kids.
His wife, Nerida Cortese, said each year they either travelled to Australia to visit her family or across New Zealand to visit Mr Cortese's family, which she said was dotted all over the place.
"This summer is the first one we can enjoy in the house we have made our own over the last 18 months," she said. "Don't get me wrong, we all adore our family, it's just an exciting first."
The couple said their ideal summer needed sun, sand, seafood and plenty of shopping.
"My favourite things to do during summer are visit local beaches as a family or with friends, spending all afternoon at a barbecue and enjoying the warmish evenings in the sun," said Mrs Cortese.
Their decision to stay home meant they could take part in the local Christmas lights competition and take trips to the local pool to watch their sons swim while they chatted with friends, before spending afternoons in the sun.
"Our yard is a great sun-catcher, where Shane and I enjoy the odd Pimms of a late afternoon."
They said last summer was spent travelling, by train, to Wellington to spend Christmas with Mr Cortese's family. After this they rented a bach in Papamoa.
"The weather was a little dodgy, but fun for our boys who like getting wet, whether it's in the ocean or out in the rain."

Rodarte Spring 2011 RTW
Twenty-four hours before their show today, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte were holed up in the second floor of an anonymous office building on Thirty-sixth Street in midtown Manhattan, finishing up spring 2011, getting ready to make the magic happen. Clothes were still arriving, waiting to be fitted. Makeup artist James Kaliardos was busy gilding lips and eyelashes; the effect was of angels lining up to slip past the doorman at seventies New York disco inferno Xenon, not to get beyond the pearly gates. The Mulleavys were nervy, chatty, and spilling forth on what went into the collection.
They'd been thinking about Northern California—in particular, Santa Cruz. They'd been looking at the area's rugged natural landscape—specifically Sequoia sempervirens, aka redwood trees. "We've been sending wood panels to Italy for the prints," Kate said, laughing, explaining the knotty, grain-effect silks and leathers. And she and Laura had been considering the historical and cultural links between that part of the West Coast and Japan and China. That led to fierce armorial samurai-style paneling from the former—and romantic blue and white floral prints that recall the Ming Dynasty from the latter. "We wanted the dresses," Laura said, "to look like vases."
Strictly speaking, you don't need to know any of this. You could simply appreciate this outstanding collection for what it is: chock-full of absolutely gorgeous clothes that don't in any way resemble where the Mulleavys started with their label, or where they've been since, but which somehow unfailingly look like Rodarte. You'll note the use of clothes. Rodarte doesn't just make ravishing red-carpet looks for the likes of Natalie Portman—or costumes for her December movie release Black Swan, either. Spring has tooled leather jackets and skirts, whose scrolled and worked surface textures echo the wood theme, and tunics with mandarin collars worn with wide-leg cropped pants, in muted blue checks and utilitarian Japanese workwear cottons. There are dresses that nod to the thirties/seventies crossover that's been going on, with print blocking and tapering, sinuous skirts.
Because here's the thing with all those references the Mulleavys use: Each and every one emphasizes their unique viewpoint but also directly connects with the prevailing mood of the season. The closing numbers, with volume play rendered in golden silks, for instance. The Mulleavys captured the decadent seventies vibe that's slowly insinuating itself into next spring, like faintly hearing the music from Xenon streets away. They likely weren't even thinking of that. Yet those dresses are the best—and least literal examples—we've seen so far.

Of all the wonderful foods that are made for Thanksgiving, apple pie is my favorite. New York State produces about 29 million bushels annually, and some of that harvest winds up at the Green Market here at Grand Army Plaza. At other markets too, New York's farmers proudly advertise mouth-watering varieties such as Red Delicious, Empire, Fuji, Gala, Crispin, McIntosh and many more. But which apple(s) will make the best pie? One grower took the novice into consideration and displayed a sign listing the best apples to be turned into dessert.
Now these varieties were not always the favorite of pie makers. Apples sold at the Wallabout Market in 1890 were listed by these names: Baldwin, Ben Davis, Spitzbergen, Northern Spy and Seeknofurther. In The Brooklyn Cookbook, Lynn Stallworth and Rod Kennedy, Jr. write that Henry Ward Beecher was not only a fierce abolitionist and eloquent minister but was also quite an apple pie eater. He had this to say about the apple:
Some people think anything will do for pies. But the best for eating are the best for cooking...and who would put into a pie any apple but Spitzenberg...,
So here from The Brooklyn Cookbook is Beecher Apple Pie, borrowed from the Plymouth Fair Cook Book by Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.
Grate twelve large sour apples.
Sprinkle in an even teaspoonful of salt, half a nutmeg, a very little cinnamon, and sugar enough to sweeten to your taste.
Add three well beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, the grated rind of half a lemon, if that flavor is relished,
the juice of one orange, and a pint of rich cream.
Line the plates with rich paste, which should be all ready before the cream is put to the apple.
Pour in the custard, and put strips of crust across the top. Bake a light brown, and sift sugar over when done, if liked. If only one pie is wanted, take fewer apples and less cream
And lastly, we leave you with an excerpt from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, (by way of Colliers Weekly).
Apple pie is always the style. Go into a restaurant and ask for a 'cut of standard' and the waiter will bring you a piece of apple pie. He knows what standard pie is. There are times in the year when other kinds make a spurt and run on ahead a little, but apple pie keeps jogging on. and by and by it overtakes them....Next spring when pie plant comes in--some people call it rhubarb, but that always sounds stuck up, and like you were trying to show off--everybody will eat pie plant because it is good for the blood. In the summer peach pie will forge away to the front, and I'll never tell you why. But just as I say, apple pie keeps jogging on, and in the long run wins the race. I mean the right kind of an apple pie. Once in a while you will meet somebody that is always trying to be different from anybody else, and he will go on about English deep apple pie, and how mouch superior it is to the common vulgar thing we eat becasue we don't know any better. Well, English deep apple pie is good; I don't deny that. It can't help being good. You cook apples almost anyway and they're not bad eating, but, law me! when you put them in a crock and turn a little cup upside down in the middle of them and cover it all over with a lid of of pastry, that isn't a pie at all. It's just stewed apples. Don't you see that you must have a bottom of pastry and that there is a just proportion of crust to filling that must not be deviated from one iota or your pie is inartistic and an offense against the laws of taste?"
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you readers, and if you want apple - "We got your apples right here!"
In 1954 when this photograph was taken, Floyd the turtle had been making annual springtime visits to the Toddy Inn at 7913 Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge for over twenty years, since 1933. The turtle migrated annually from his hibernation spot in a nearby back yard to the floor under a particular booth in the tavern, where he stayed for a week, taking naps and short walks around the bar. Then out he went, not to be seen again until the next year.
According to tavern legend, it all began when a customer brought Floyd into the bar in 1933 along with two other pet turtles. At loggerheads with his owner, Floyd disappeared and didn't show up again until the following year around the end of May. After that, he returned around the same time every spring.
'ALL RIGHT NOW, BRING ON THOSE HARES'-- Floyd the Tippling Turtle gets set to take a sip of brew at the Toddy Inn, 7913 5th Ave., as his traveling companion Gertrude shows off for the camera in the grasp of Mrs Walter Nielsen. Floyd, an amateur racer, recently set a record by running a "four-minute foot." Brooklyn Daily Eagle, June 14, 1954
Said Ralph Waites, owner of the tavern in 1953, "I don't know why he comes back. We don't do him any good or anything. We don't feed him. He sleeps under the same booth, looks the place over and goes away. Usually I see him walking into the joint from the back yard. This year, though, he was out on Fifth Ave., trying to climb in over the stoop. He was a little early."
Things took an interesting turn in 1954 when not one, but two turtles walked through the doors of the Toddy Inn. Floyd had acquired a girlfriend, named Gertrude by pub customers. Ownership of the bar had changed in the interim, and new owner Anthony Baranella was not averse to offering the traveling turtles a bite or two of lettuce. It was the least he could do for what must have been quite an attraction. Indeed it was said that Gertrude divided her time between "grubbing around in the back yard and entertaining at the bar." They didn't have Photoshop back in 1954, and it looks to me as if Floyd was about to knock that glass of beer all over Mrs Nielsen--in which case, someone might have ended up as soup.
The current occupants of 7913 Fifth Avenue, Fillmore Real Estate, are probably unaware of their building's rich reptilian history. If they ever do choose to sell the property Floyd selected as his springtime residence for so many years, the story of Floyd and Gertrude at the Toddy Inn will surely bring the buyers out of their shells.
Brooklynology readers may not remember a post about other Brooklyns written in September 2009 that has so far drawn zero comments except for the daily computer-generated spamming from a shoe company I will not name, because that is what they want.

Salomon with some sweets for Breukelen, Holland, as Miss Salomon, founder of the Brooklyn adopts Breukelen Project, departs on a visit...She will be the guest of the Breukelen Burgomaster at this home and will tour Holland for a month as the town's guest in gratitude for her share in the borough's project which sent over 24,000 pounds of relief supplies to Breukelen.
It turns out that Brooklynology is not the only place that remembers the name of Ms Salomon. Danielle Latman, whose home is in Brooklyn, visited the Dutch town in 2009 and saw an exhibit documenting the Brooklyn Adopts Breukelen Project, created by an organization named BrooklynBridgeBreukelen that fosters relations between the borough and the town. Today's goodwill ambassador--our Miss Salomon, if you will--is none other than Marty Markowitz, pictured here on the original Breukelen Bridge in 2009 with Breukelen's Mayor Mik.

As the days grow colder in autumn's inexorable march toward winter, a lady's fancy turns to... bowling. Or mine does, anyway, because my bowling league's season is winding down, and I'll have just a few more chances to hurl my trusty ten pound ball before we adjourn for the holidays. Ours is a co-ed league, and every week I'm impressed at the grace and skill of my fellow female pin-toppers. It leads me to wonder: How long have women been bowling? A trip to our Brooklyn Daily Eagle clippings files turned up some interesting answers.
Lady of the lanes -- Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1946
The first mention of ladies taking up ten pins in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle dates back to January 1891, when the all-male Hanover Club announced it would begin inviting female friends of the membership to make use of its bowling alleys in the afternoons. While the men were away, the ladies could play. The same article mentions that the Carleton Club, at St. Mark's Ave and Sixth Ave, was considering opening its alleys to women during the afternoons as well. Gaining such entry was no small feat, considering the ongoing debates in the late 19th century as to what privileges women should and should not be extended. Although it would be nearly 30 years before women got the vote, the right to bowl was one of many early steps down the road to gender equality.
Perhaps there was something cathartic in the act of tossing heavy balls down wooden lanes, something satisfying in the sharp crack as turbulent ball met inert pin and sent it flying, because the hitherto genteel ladies of Brooklyn seem to have taken to the sport with a passion. By 1894, the Eagle was regularly posting scores of several active ladies' bowling teams throughout the borough alongside the scores of their male counterparts. Teams with such monikers as the Monograms faced off against the ABC Bowling Club, the Independents, the Welcome Club, and the Lady Equals. In the fall of 1896, these industrious bowlers held a "bowling tea" to embark on the project of forming their own women's bowling league, which would eventually be called (not surprisingly) the Women's Bowling League.

When the league held its first tournament in January 1897, the Eagle's reporters couldn't help but notice the marked difference between these "fair bowlers" and their bowling brethren:
"When a strike or spare was recorded they gave vent to feminine 'Ohs!' and 'Ahs!' and 'Goody, Goody' instead of the masculine, 'Every feather' and 'Never known to miss it,' so familiar to bowlers."
There were further differences to be noted between men's and women's leagues, namely in the kinds of booty brought home by the victorious. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle was quick to point out that winners of the ladies tournaments walked home with posh prizes like "pieces of furniture, articles of decoration and silverware, which will be of considerable use to the winners as opposed to the trinkets usually purchased by the men."
A second wave of bowling fever appears to have hit Brooklyn in 1938, when the Brooklyn Daily Eagle itself began sponsoring a league, which it touted as the second-largest in the nation. The ladies contingent began bowling games in November of 1938, with 30 competitors bowling in the Flatbush, Borough Hall, and Bay Ridge areas. A regular column on the bowling scene, "Down Your Alley" by Lou E. Cohen, was also inaugurated at this time to serve up juicy bits of gossip and insider information on the borough's pin-toppers. The Brooklyn Eagle leagues continued well into the 1950s, although the Eagle ceased operations in 1955. In our photo collection we have several examples of the handsome trophies awarded by the Eagle to its league bowlers:
It's hard to say exactly when the tradition of punny bowling team names was founded, but here's a cute one from the 1950s:
P.S. Brooklyn Public Library's Annual Gala fete is coming up soon, and this year it will feature an after-party thrown by The Desk Set, a Brooklyn-based group of savvy librarians who have proven tremendously adept at putting together great fundraisers. Usually a black-tie and strapless-gown affair, this year's gala is going down in slightly less high-brow digs... a bowling alley. Yes, a bowling alley! It's a bit more luxe than your grandfather's bowling alley, perhaps, with live bands, leather couches, gourmet eats, and, of couse, a twitter feed, but it is a bowling alley, nonetheless. Bowl on, BPL!
From the Battle of Brooklyn to the building of battleships at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklynites are no strangers to the demands of war. And as any soldier deployed abroad can surely attest, one of the most familiar feelings brought on by military service is one of homesickness. Looking for some sign of home while stationed in Japan in 1951, one Brooklyn-bred soldier, Private Justin Grishman, took it upon himself to write a letter to the Eagle requesting just that -- a sign -- a street sign to be exact.
Says Pvt. Justin Grishman, 45 Martense St., who is now in Korea, 'I would like a street sign from Flatbush and Church Aves., if possible." He is a radio operator at Hopkaiow, Japan.
Just one week later the Eagle reported that Borough President Cashmore was ready to grant Pvt. Grishman's request, thereby extending Flatbush Avenue as far East as possible.
Through the efforts of Borough President Cashmore and his highly efficient secretary Joe Schmalacker Brooklyn is gradually being extended to Japan. Pvt. Justin C. Grishman wrote this column, asking for a street sign from Flatbush and Church Aves. Triple play, Cece-to-Joe-to-John, and the sign went on its way.
One month later, the sign having arrived, Pvt. Grishman wrote in to thank all who had helped.
"I want to extend my thanks to those persons and to the Eagle for you have made us all very happy" said Justin. He is at Camp Crawford, Hokkaido, Japan.
The final word in our archives regarding Pvt. Justin Grishman (or Grisham, as his name now appears in the caption) didn't appear in the Eagle for over a year, in January of 1952 -- but the wait was worth it -- accompanying an update of the soldier's request was a photograph of the smiling Private seated on a gas can at the intersection of Church and Flatbush Avenues.
Brooklyn in Korea -- Pfc. Justin Grisham of 45 Martense St. poses with his reminder of Brooklyn in the frozen hills of Korea. He got the street sign by writing the Brooklyn Eagle, which turned over his request to Borough President Cashmore's office.
And here is a scan of the original photo where you can better see the snow on those frozen hills so far from Brooklyn's familiar streets.

Paul Baudry
Silvered bronze, 3 15/16 in. diameter
Chaplain won the Prix de Romefor medal-engraving in 1863, and went on to have a highly successful career, including election to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1881 and an appointment as Art Director of the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory in 1896. In 1877 Chaplain became the official medallist of the French government, creating a series of presidential portrait medals. His many animated and realistic medallions of intellectuals and artists, however, constitute his greatest achievement.

In cases like these, there are two sources for the problem: the magazine's feed lips, and the pistol's feed ramp.
The first thing to try is a properly-fitting, high-quality replacement magazine. That's the least expensive solution. If that works, you're home free.
In many cases, the pistol's feed ramp needs to be polished so that bullets with edges (HPs) have nothing to "catch" on. This is a job for a gunsmith, and can get expensive, which is why you should try another magazine first.
Sometimes, shooting 200 to 300 practice rounds (of RN) through the gun will polish its feed ramp sufficiently to permit feeding HP ammunition.
Trying that tactic can't be bad: everybody needs as much practice as he can get.

Alright so everything has been installed on the truck and let me tell you, TCS and FTS sure do know how to build lifts. Was pretty comlicated to install and did run into a few rough patches along the way but the money sure was worth it. Rides just as good, if not better then stock suspension. Such a smooth ride. The 4.56s sure did help. I love this truck more then ever now.

Belgrade Fire chief proposes big departmental changes
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The fire chief of the Central Valley/Belgrade Fire Department says being a mostly volunteer department just isn't cutting it anymore.
So he's proposed hiring more paid staff, because he says it'll help support the workload on volunteers.
The recommendations are the result of a months-long analysis of the department and it's needs.
We dug through the report, and found CVFD covers 187 square miles that encompasses Belgrade, Four Corners, River Rock, and Spring Hill areas.
But they could provide initial response for some 250 square miles.
Overall, they protect around 35,000 people and almost $2 billion worth of property.
The 22-page analysis by Chief Ron Lindroth is the conglomeration of months he spent looking at the inner workings of the department.
He said the department, which has 46 volunteer fire fighters and 12 full-time firefighters/EMTs, just doesn't have enough staffing to handle the area.
Chief Lindroth said he believes adding more full-time fire fighters will decrease response times and make the department more efficient.
To fund the staffing, he proposes making cuts in other areas- like cutting administrative positions like the Human Resource Officer and reorganizing shifts.
We talked to local residents who said they think it's about time to make the switch.
"It would be great for response times and for employment" said Ali Atchinson. "I'm all for it."
Belgrade resident Terry Jensen said he thinks the department seems fine how it is, but could see why Chief Lindroth thinks the change is necessary.
"They do a great job all over the valley. They help out all the other fire departments, volunteer-wise" Jensen said, adding "If the chief thinks we need more help- full-time help- then I guess we better get some more full-time help."
Chief Lindroth told us Monday he's going over the plan with fire fighters first before making any official comments.
In the plan, he said there's still a lot of details to work out- but he'd like the recommendations to be implemented next year.

If you report the timing and amount of alcohol consumption, your obstetrician or other health care provider can help determine the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. Although doctors can't diagnose fetal alcohol syndrome before a baby is born, they can assess the health of the mother and baby during pregnancy.
Your child's doctor can watch for signs and symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome in your child's initial weeks, months and years of life. Early diagnosis and provision of services can help improve your child's ability to function.
Diagnosing fetal alcohol syndrome requires expertise and a thorough assessment. To make a diagnosis, doctors assess:
The doctor may also assess:
Many features seen with fetal alcohol syndrome may also occur in normal, healthy children or in children with other disorders. If fetal alcohol syndrome is suspected, your pediatrician may refer your child to a developmental pediatrician, a neurologist or another expert with special training in fetal alcohol syndrome for evaluation and to rule out other disorders with similar signs and symptoms.
The range of consequences from drinking alcohol during pregnancy are collectively called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as not all signs and symptoms are present in all children with the disorder. This range includes:
If one child in a family is diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, it may be important to evaluate his or her siblings to determine whether they also have fetal alcohol syndrome, if the mother drank alcohol during these pregnancies.

Employee's granddaughter to recite pledge at RNC
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 17, 2008)--Like all grandparents, UTSA Testing Center Program Manager Raymond Blackstone is already proud of his 14 grandchildren. Yet recently, his granddaughter, Victoria Blackstone, offered up one more reason for him to swell with pride; as the winner of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press "Wave The Stars and Stripes" essay contest, she will recite the pledge of allegiance at an official event at the upcoming Republican National Convention. The 2008 Republican National Convention is September 1-4 in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The essay competition, co-sponsored by the Republican National Convention, Microsoft and Qwest Telecommunications, asked St. Paul area schoolchildren grades seven through 12 to write a 500-word essay on what the pledge of allegiance means to them. Victoria, a high school freshman who lives with her parents in Roseville, Minn., was one of several hundred students who entered the competition.
"I was just flabbergasted when I found out," said Blackstone. "Everything she said in the essay are things that we all feel -- things that we all understand to be true. But, to be able to verbalize it like that, especially at her age... well you just want everyone in the world to know that she?s your granddaughter."
In addition to reciting the pledge at the Republican National Convention, Victoria will receive a laptop courtesy of Qwest, an X-Box 360 from Microsoft, as well as an American flag that flew over the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
Judges for the competition included Jo Ann Davidson, Republican National Convention chairman; Rachel Stassen-Berger, political reporter for the Pioneer Press; John Sampson, director of federal government affairs for Microsoft Corp.; John Stanoch, Qwest Minnesota president; Brig. Gen. Denny Schulstad, U.S.A.F., retired, and former Minneapolis city councilman; Chas Anderson, deputy commissioner of Minnesota Department of Education; and Leah McLean, KSTP news anchor.
The winning essay, "Pledging Myself to the Flag of the United States of America," was published in the Sunday, June 15 edition of the Pioneer Press. All entries from the competition will be sent to members of the 851st Vertical Engineer Company of the Minnesota National Guard currently serving in Iraq.

Excerpt: "The New York Giants and General Manager Jerry Reese have a lot of decisions to make about their offensive line this offseason. Both Will Beattyand Kevin Boothe are free agents, Sean Locklear is also a free agent and trying to work back from a devastating injury, and a decision needs to be made on David Diehl, who will command a $4.1 million base salary in 2013. The common feeling is that the team will look to the NFL Draft to fill some of their holes, and one target may be Oklahoma Sooners offensive tackle Lane Johnson.
The 6'6'', 303 lbs. lineman has impressed most onlookers, and is considered by many to be one of, if not the best tackle available in the 2013 NFL Draft. If nothing else, he is projected to go in the first-round come April, and may be available when the Giants select at #19.
Matt Miller of NFL Draft Scout, who is in Mobile, Alabama covering the Senior Bowl, was among those impressed with Johnson. But he wasn't the only one. Miller had one of the Giants scouts in attendance remark "that's my left tackle" after watching Johnson practice." Read more...

and ???? 1611 ...myan calender ??? LOL
The KJV (King James Version of the Bible) is also called the 1611 version. 1611 is the year the KJV was finished.
401 years later we have poster named KJV who signs off (hopefully just temporarily) after 1611 posts.
Now, if you add the single digits in 401 and 1611 together (4+0+1+1+6+1+1), you get 14.
And if you add the single digits of today's date, (0+5+1+3+2+0+1+2), you also get 14.
See where I'm going?

The forum brings together cultural creatives, social innovators and community leaders to deepen the understanding of subjects of relevance to Bay Area residents. Through storytelling and expert panel discussions, Compathos', in collaboration with its partners, ignites cross-cultural understanding and sparks
inter-generational conversations that inspire social action, global citizenry and world transformation.
The festival's inspirational theme, New Worlds are Possible, is wholly demonstrated through award-winning documentaries and non-fictional shorts by filmmakers and young, Oakland-based media artists, who are dedicated to producing work on current events and controversial subject matters, such as human rights, immigration, crime and violence, environmental and related heath issues and social injustice.
Cynthia La Grou, Executive Director of Compathos Foundation, states that "the foundation's objective is to champion and promote the stories of independent filmmakers, activists and grassroots change-makers that too often remain overlooked, and to serve as a springboard for creative media that exemplifies excellence in its potential to inspire change."
Compathos' partners include: the Social Impact Media Awards (SIMA), an annual international documentary and educational impact media competition and showcase, which honors members in the independent film and global humanitarian industry; Youth Seed and United Roots are two Oakland based non-profits working together to support the development of community led multi-media social enterprises owned and operated by young, under-served innovators, who face barriers to economic opportunities. Youth Seed and United Roots Oakland recently create their own media production company, Simphony Productions to produce documentaryb shorts on local subject matters of economic and social disparity.
Ticket proceeds benefit Compathos' Youth Media Travel Abroad Program, which gives local media students and young professionals an exciting opportunity to broaden their communications skills while producing socially responsible media that promotes cross-cultural understanding and provides support to developing communities. Compathos Foundation is a nonprofit media production, education and research organization harnessing the power of the arts and media to inspire transformation, global citizenry and social action.
