Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: The microorganisms in the cow's rumen (stomach) ferment (convert) feed materials to products that are used by the animal for energy and milk production. Individual species of rumen bacteria differ in their fermentation products, resulting in different mixtures of nutrients available to the cow. We know very little about how differences in the mixture of species of bacteria in the rumen affects production and composition (quality) of milk. We fed four cows each of four diets that differed in the amount of fiber and the source of fiber (alfalfa silage or corn silage). We measured the amount and quality of the milk produced, and the volatile fatty acid (VFA) contents of the contents of each rumen. We also determined the frequency of each of the three main fiber-digesting bacterial species in each rumen. One of the three bacterial species was consistently more abundant than were the other two species. However, despite large differences in the amount and quality of milk produced and i the rumen VFA profiles, changing the amount or source of the fiber in the diet did not consistently alter the frequency of the three species. Some differences were observed in specific populations among different cows, suggesting that each cow may retain its own unique assemblage of fiber- digesting bacterial strains. The results suggest that each cow contains a well-adapted population of rumen bacteria that will be difficult to modify by techniques such as genetic engineering. Recognizing the uniqueness of each cow and its microbial population will enable us to individually optimize its yield and quality of milk.
Technical Abstract: The effects of four contrasting diets were determined on the ruminal populations of three species of ruminal cellulolytic bacteria (Ruminococcus albus, R. flavefaciens, and Fibrobacter succinogenes), using oligonucleotide probes to rRNA . Diets, based on alfalfa silage (AS) or corn silage (CS) as primary fiber source, and formulated to contain either 24 or 32 per cent aNDF (NDF measured after alpha-amylase treatment), were fed twice daily to four ruminally-fistulated, lactating Holstein cows in a Latin square design. The AS diets resulted in higher dry matter intakes and milk yields, and in smaller pH fluctuations than CS diets (0.3 vs. 0.8 units). Total populations of the three cellulolytic species 3 h after feeding ranged from 0.3 to 3.9 per cent of the bacterial domain, with R. albus generally the most abundant of the three species. The data are in general agreement with population assessments obtained by some traditional culture enumeration methods.

Do you guys ever get facials?
I've had a few in my life. Personally, I'm not someone to indulge myself all the time because of the cost and time behind it. Really though, I think it's so important to indulge and relax every once in awhile. A few months ago, I purchased a Living Social deal for a Pumpkin Facial from Revelations in Lakewood, Ohio. I honestly kept forgetting about it until I realized the deal was going to expire soon! Quickly, I called and made an appointment for Tuesday afternoon.
I've been to Revelations before for a haircut and was thoroughly impressed with my previous experience (um, can we discuss that I haven't had a haircut since August?! YIKES). When I walked in, I waited a few minutes until Tabitha retrieved me. We went in the back to the spa waiting room. She offered me some tea (which was DELICIOUS) and I chilled out until it was time for my facial!
The thing personally love about facials is that I can enjoy them. I'm actually a super ticklish person. Just ask my family or my boyfriend. It's pretty ridiculous and not even funny sometimes because I hate it so much (especially on my feet. DO NOT GET NEAR MY FEET, OK?!). Being a ticklish person makes receiving spa treatments really difficult. For example, when I get a pedicure, I primarily get one done for the result and the result only. I love how my feet feel and look afterwards, but during, I'm a hot mess just hoping that the person won't accidentally touch the bottom of my feet. Sometimes, even after I tell them to PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF MY FEET, they do it anyways because they carelessly forget. I giggle and try to laugh, privately cursing the entire decision to get a pedicure in the first place. Sometimes, it's pure torture. That's why I love facials because I can ENJOY them and not worry about my little tickle-tickle issue.
Once I was called into the facial room (is that even a term?), the lights were dim and there was soft music playing. I undressed at the top and was told to lie on my back with the blanket covering me. The rest was luxurious history…
Tabitha was amazing and the hour flew by… I feel like I even nodded off at some point. My skin felt so good and I felt so pampered. I left the salon feeling an amazing GLOW! I highly recommend Tabitha at Revelations Salon & Spa in Lakewood! She was so professional and made me feel at ease. I cannot wait to book another appointment with her.
Afterwards, I went and picked up Chipotle for takeout. A chicken bowl to go, please…
What a lovely night I have some work to do and a stressful week ahead, but I feel at ease and that's priceless.Pin It

Sep 9, 2013 - From staff reportsUnemployment in Fremont County ticked slightly higher in July, although the local jobs market continues to outperform conditions of a year ago.
The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reported a civilian unemployment rate for Fremont County of 5.9 percent in July, up from 5.8 percent a month earlier but a full point better than the 6.9 percent calculated in July 2012.
July is the newest report available from the state.
The tiny increase in the jobless rate comes despite a slightly lower number of jobless workers locally, and the county's labor force remains near its all-time high.
Work force
The labor force -- meaning all adults either working or unemployed -- cracked the 20,000 mark in June, which is believed to be a first.
It slid backward in July to 19,898 in August but now ranks fifth among the state's 23 counties after standing sixth for many years.
Fremont County overtook Al-bany County (Laramie) in the work force standings, although that could change again now that the full University of Wyoming student body has returned to Laramie.
For July, Fremont County's work force outnumbered Albany County's by 660.
Even with the shrinkage in the local labor pool for July, it still exceeds last July's figure by 51 workers.
Laramie County (Cheyenne) and Natrona County (Casper) continue to have the two largest civilian work forces by far at 47,609 and 44,702, respectively.
Total employment in Fremont County for the month was 18,732, nearly 250 more than the 18,485 counted a year earlier but down 103 from June.
There were 1,166 unemployed in Fremont County for July, two fewer than a month before and substantially fewer than July 2012's figure for 1,362. That's a 12-month decrease in joblessness of 196.
The state defines "unemployed" as "all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the four-week period ending with the reference week."
Fremont County's 5.9 percent unemployment rate was the highest in Wyoming. Campbell County (Gillette) was next at 5 percent, but that was down from 5.4 percent a month earlier.
Every county in Wyoming saw improvement over the year, and Fremont County was the only county in Wyoming that saw its unemployment rate rise for the month, although the state in the past has called changes of 0.1 percent "statistically insignificant." The jobless rate in Platte County (Wheatland) was unchanged for the month at 4.9 percent.
The remaining 21 counties all saw lower percentages. Lowest in Wyoming was Teton County (Jackson) at 3.1 percent as the tourism-based economy there kicked into high gear for the summer. Sublette County (Pinedale) was next best at 3.2 percent. Teton County also showed the biggest one-month improvement, dropping from 3.8 percent in June to 3.1 percent in July.
Statewide, Wyoming's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.6 percent for the month and was nearly a full point improved from 12 months earlier, when the jobless rate was 5.5 percent.
The state's jobs picture remained better significantly than the nationwide jobless rate of 7.7 percent for July.
The national rate for August was announced Friday and has dipped to 7.3 percent.

There's probably more stuff I'm forgetting too. I'll try to think of what.
13.2@99mph in Milan with a 1.995 60' time so she's very fast and if you were a good driver it'd be faster.
So now for the bad stuff:
1. Check engine light caused by TGV valves being removed. This would probably be an easy enough fix if you had the time and I can pull the codes with the accessport so you can see that the CEL is just the result of the TGV valve. If you pulled out the tgv rods and shaved them down it would almost certainly fix the problem, I think they just bent a bit when i dremeled off the flaps and I haven't had the time or tools to fix it. Doesn't hinder performance so it never bothered me.
2. Paint on the passenger side has seen better days and there are a number of very minor door dents. Paint on the hood has some tiny chips as well that look like pieces of dirt.
3. When I was pushing the car on the lift i dented the top of the trunk, an easy fix by a paintless dent removal place for sure. Again, I just never had the time.
4. Almost certainly doesn't meet emissions control laws in any state
All in all, the car is in great shape, the only issues are exterior and we all know the paint on this car is not known to be very durable. I love the car but I graduated from UofM and I'm moving to chicago where it will be too expensive for me to keep her. I need to sell it quick so I'm going to try to work something out with all reasonable offers. You get a custom 2003 bugeye with features like a sunroof and heated seats that no one else has.
I own the car outright and can sign the car over immediately upon reception of a cashier's check. Also, if you use a personal check I'd have to wait for it to clear before signing over the title so I'd rather not do that.
I'm going to ask $15,999 but feel free to PM me an offer you feel is reasonable.
Don't clutter my thread with comments about pricing it too low or high, I'm trying to be fair. I can also get you the VIN for carfax upon request. I'm posting old pics but i'll have better ones that i take tomorrow on here tomorrow.

In earlier articles, we looked
into Cardinals prospects heading to the Arizona Fall League and
With play at least a month away, plans can and will change. In fact, in several cases, they already have. Here's the latest, with a major jump start from Cardinals Vice President of Amateur Scouting and Player Development Jeff Luhnow.
I asked Luhnow if sending three left-handed pitchers to the Arizona Fall League signals that they are looking for one to emerge to help the major league club. The three are Brad Furnish, Justin Fiske and Tyler Norrick.
"We hope so. Furnish is
interesting. Most times, when you send a pitcher to

"He went and he had some success.

"Fiske, what can I say about him?

"I thought to myself, 'Why isn't this guy starting? This guy could go through the lineup more than once.' And that was always the knock on him, because his stuff isn't spectacular. That the second time around they would probably hit him.
"So, I put that theory to test. 'Let's see. Let's find out.' And he had a tremendous year. He is going to go back into relief (in the AFL) because he had a lot of innings this season.
"I don't know if he is going to

"Those three guys are exciting, but I'd like to have eight, instead of three, though," Luhnow said.
In addition, outfielder Shane Robinson will be the Cardinals "priority player", meaning he is assured of being a regular starter for the Peoria Saguaros.

"We like to send guys where we have our own people," Luhnow explained. It is a common thread throughout, as you will see in this article.
As we previously disclosed, the Cardinals will be aligned with two of the four clubs in the Colombian Winter League. The Sincelejo Toros will be managed by Cardinals Minor League Catching Coordinator Dann Bilardello. Among his players will be closer Casey Mulligan. Outfielder Jon Edwards is also a possibility.
"Bilardello tried to do a land grab and take every player and convince them to go down there. I had to tell him to back off," Luhnow joked.
The other club, the Cartagena Tigers, will be headed up by another Cardinals employee, Neder Horta. The native Colombian is the Cards' head scout there and his club will also receive a complement of organizational prospects this winter.
Recently-released infielder Dan Nelson and Quad Cities first baseman Carlos Pupo are also listed on the Toros' tentative roster. We also have an unconfirmed report that Casey Rowlett will be playing there.
Luhnow explains that there has been a change of plans in Garceau's case.
"Shaun has really had a terrific season, but he is done. He is not pitching any more (this year). He could. I just don't want him to pitch any more. He wanted to, but I don't want him to. He's pitched a lot of innings this year (123 1/3)," Luhnow explained.
It seems the largest contingent of Cardinals prospects will be heading to the smallest league.

The Cardinals again have a key employee in an important position as super scout and manager of the Gulf Coast League Cardinals, Enrique Brito, is serving as the general manager of the Caribes team. 2008 Memphis Redbird David Freese will be their third baseman.

A long-time relationship has been in place between the Cardinals and the Tigres de Aragua and one of their stalwarts from last year's championship series may be coming back for another season. Luhnow explains.
As we previously reported, Cardinals third base coach Jose Oquendo will be leading the Carolina Giants. Yadier Molina is deciding whether or not he wants to return to his hometown club for another winter. At this point, the Cardinals aren't ready to disclose who might suit up in the league, which is back to life after a one-year hiatus.
"We're working on that right now. We have a couple of position players that have been asked for permission and are negotiating right now," said Luhnow.
The Licey Tigers are typically the
best team in the toughest winter league, the one in the
The Cardinals have Nelson Norman, their Dominican Summer League skipper, placed as a coach with Licey, but he won't be guiding the Cardinals top prospect. In a bit of a surprise, Rasmus has declined to play winter ball, despite missing most of the last half of 2008 due to injury.
In summary
Luhnow is rightfully excited about the quantity and quality of players the organization is sending south this winter.
"We're really going to be sending

"Everybody who wants to get playing time is going to get it. Most of the guys from the draft, we are going to shut them down and tell them just to stay in shape (after instructs), Luhnow explained.
While winter league participation is voluntary, Luhnow makes it clear that the organization encourages it, especially for position players and in doing so, it distinguishes them from those who stay home.
"We're trying to place guys where we have staff, but mostly, we're trying to get guys opportunities – especially the position players... We do worry more about the pitchers than the hitters, but as far as I am concerned, every hitter who can get some at-bats should do it, because if they don't, somebody else is going to and they need to be ready."

In continuation to my last post The wonderful sight of hope, let me tell you one more old story about me..!
During the school days and during senior secondary post that, like most of my friends, I was pretty directionless about what I wanted to do or become in life (not that I am sure about that now anyway)!!
I was studying just for the sake of studying. Because everyone else around me was studying. I was just being a part of the herd. Doing whatever others around me did, well… not everything but yes, almost everything.
With no proper aim about my future and not having decided what I wanted to do, unlike many of my friends who by then, had figured out what they wanted to do in life and had left for good / BIG colleges elsewhere in the country, I decided to stay back in my hometown.… continue reading

Number of Mining M&A deals in Africa continues to rise - are we seeing a shift from build to buy?
Rapidly escalating development costs may herald a shift in focus from build to buy in the global mining and metals sector, says Ernst & Young's Global Mining & Metals Transaction Leader, Lee Downham.
Ernst & Young's H1 2012 (pdf, 1.7mb) analysis of transactions, financing and capital raising in the sector shows continued macro economic uncertainty and market volatility, which have subdued global deal value and volume in the six months to the end of June.
Globally there were 470 deals with total deal value of US$55.7 billion for January-June 2012, down 19% and 38% respectively on the same period in 2011.
However, capital that has been earmarked for organic projects is increasingly under review as returns no longer compare favorably to M&A.
"Rising development costs are forcing companies to rethink investment decisions and already we have seen significant deferrals in capital spending. At the same time equity valuations are lower, so it's likely this will drive opportunistic deal activity," says Downham.
"Strong balance sheets, favourable long-term fundamentals and lower valuations are creating an attractive environment for cautious M&A. We do not expect to see a big jump in the level of deal activity but momentum is certainly picking up."
"Macro economic issues and resource nationalism are making decisions difficult, so this means deals are taking a lot longer."
Downham says opportunistic and "one chance" deals, as well as ongoing domestic consolidation will continue, with an increasing focus on minority holdings and joint venture investments by large producers.
During the first six months of 2012, low volumes of outbound and intra-Africa deals continued. By contrast, inbound investment doubled as foreign investors completed 47 deals to acquire African ventures. "Foreign investors continues to show interest in the richness of Africa's mineral endowment and are investing in it much more aggressively than African based companies are," says Wickus Botha, Africa Mining and Metals leader for Ernst & Young.
"African mining assets continues to attract significant interest, but African based mining companies are finding it increasingly difficult to participate in the highly competitive M&A market."
Capital raising & financing
Total capital raised for H1 2012 was down 35% to US$123 billion compared to the same period last year, with the volume of issues down 16%. The number of companies raising capital has nearly halved, combined with a marked decline in equity raising due to market volatility.
"The majors are able to access capital but remain focused on maintaining investment grade credit ratings, driving efficiencies and reducing financing costs," says Downham.
Funding should continue to be available for quality projects, deals and Boards that demonstrate confidence in expected returns.
Total IPO volumes for the sector globally were down 37% to 47 IPOs in H1 2012 compared to H1 2011, while proceeds dropped a massive 80% (excluding Glencore) to just US$0.9 billion.
There were lower volumes, reduced pricing and postponements on all the main mining and metals exchanges of Hong Kong, London, Australia and Toronto.
As Downham explains, "IPOs remain on the corporate agenda but only when markets stabilize. As a result, juniors and explorers are stalling equity raisings and although some are seeking alternative funding outside the public markets, this is nowhere near to bridging the gap".
Funding may come in part from Asian lenders, made via co-investments in overseas projects with local state partners such as infrastructure developers. Such investment often comes with additional conditions such as share of future off-take.

New Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Gets a Spokeswoman
The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may not have a leader yet, but it will soon have a spokeswoman.
Federal Communications Commission spokeswoman Jen Howard announced in an email to reporters and colleagues Thursday that she'll leave the agency in mid-January to take a senior communications role at the new agency.
Before serving as the top spokeswoman for FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, Howard handled communications for Free Press, a digital and media consumer advocacy group.
As the WSJ's Damian Paletta and Victoria McGrane reported Thursday, White House adviser Elizabeth Warren – once considered a shoo-in to lead the new agency until she ran into Republican opposition in Congress – is conducting a quiet search for candidates to lead the bureau. Ms. Warren is also helping bring other officials on board for the new agency as she assists in setting it up.

Updated: PM asks Police Commissioner to investigate claims on Enemalta official
Muscat 'shocked but not surprised'
The Prime Minister has requested the police commissioner to investigate claims in a newspaper today that an official involved in Enemalta oil purchases received commissions in a Swiss bank account.
Labour leader Joseph Muscat said in an initial reaction "I'm shocked but not surprised, given the culture surrounding this government - and this ministry in particular."
MaltaToday reported this morning that the commissions, traceable to Enemalta procurement committee member Frank Sammut, were deposited into the account regularly.
The moneys were deposited by Trafigura, a Dutch oil company, to an account owned by Energy and Environment consultants Ltd, which belonged to Mr Sammut. Trafigura supplied oil to Enemalta.
MaltaToday said that it has in hand "conclusive and irrefutable evidence" that commissions were paid to Mr Sammut's account when he was appointed on the committee to buy oil for Enemalta and also when he was chairman of MOBC.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said when contacted the Prime Minister has requested the Police Commissioners to investigate the allegations and take all the necessary steps in the shortest time possible.
Dr Muscat said:
"The Prime Minister is now responsible to answer clearly on these documented charges against a person who enjoyed his government's trust.
"These charges need to be taken in the context of what this week was described as the powerful oil importers lobby and the major policy decisions to remain dependant on oil for our country's energy needs.
"This is not just about wrong choices anymore. But in whose interest these choices were made.
In an opinion piece in The Times last Friday a former Enemalta manager wrote that Minister Austin Gatt had introduced a number of changes at Enemalta, including in the way fuel was procured.
"This resulted in the formation of a powerful lobby by the fuel oil importers who would stand to lose millions of euros if the power stations converted to gas. This lobby may have influenced the decision but I think the real reason was elsewhere."
But the minister denied ditching the gas pipeline proposal, saying that this was a Cabinet decision based on the exorbitant costs involved.

An elegant champagne glass bowl and columns give this torchiere a regal look.More Details >
This handsome, French-inspired floor lamp makes a classic design statement. Champagne glass with a patterned border sits on top, offering warm, elegant lighting. The open-tier base features decorative Fleur-de-Lis accents and a mica accent light that can be used separately from the main light. Wood base with an antique bronze finish frame.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I have a large room with high ceiling and tall windows and the back corner needed more light. I keep looking at this because it's so beautiful especially with both lights on. And you can dim it to meet your mood.
Great addition to our Great Room
Such a lovely lamp, perfect coloring for our living area.
This lamp lights up a dark corner of our family room just brilliantly! It also illuminates the entire room. The nightlight adds a touch of elegance to the lamp and to the room. The height is perfect for my 10 foot ceilings. Can also be used in rooms with a lower ceiling. I love the foot control for the on/off function. It's an elegant looking lamp, but it's not quite as solid as I thought it would be. It's a great purchase and I would buy it again!
Everything about this lamp is perfect. So happy we saw it on the display floor.

Feminists ARE pretty serious. 😛
Here's something cute to take the taste of feminism out your mouth. <3
Rihanna's new music video premiered, and was controversial. I can't help but read this as part of "Love the Way You Lie" sequence (parts 1 and 2) and in conversation with "Te Amo," where the "I love you"'s are mixed in power-shifty sex.
More hilariously: the young conservative's guide to Muslims.
And a song that I thought was about kittens but is about love or something.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd a song about space!

Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - There was no bended knee or engagement ring. Instead, one man took out a "job advertisement" to ensure he lands the object of his affection of eight years.
Describing himself as an ordinary guy, Terence Mok MK, in the advertisement, said that the "job requirement" for being his bride would include "avoid making the partner laugh when he is driving."
The candidate (named Elaine Yap LL) was requested to e-mail her resume to him.
"This is an open post without a deadline," Mok wrote.
The advertisement stated that job responsibilities such as "to grow (either age or sideways) with the partner, to provide support and advice in times of need and to play tic-tac-toe together and allow the partner to win once in a while."
Mok's advertisement, which appeared in StarJobs yesterday, also stated that the "job" would come with benefits like an "all-year round supply of 3-in-1 coffee, biscuits and wi-fi". He said the hired candidate could expect "a long-term career with bonuses".
There was also a poem in which Mok wrote, among other things, that "no one told us of the trials and disappointments to be felt; but we triumphed through and what's left is this proposal for the next act."

Volterra, San Gemignano, Firenze, Lucca and Pisa. We are located next to a natural reserve of 5.000 hectares (12.500 Acres).
On the property you can find your favourite spot, overlooking the Tuscan hills sitting under a large holm oak or a juniper tree just gazing at the olive grove. You can walk along the trail to the spring of sulphurous water, passing by the pond where the small wild animals come to drink. If you are lucky you may see a turtle along the way.
We want to pay respect to the nature and its resources. Our olive oil production is in the process of obtaining organic farming certification, and regarding the tourist apartments we're preparing for the Ecolabel approval.

This property was GREAT. The apartment was comfortable, clean and well stocked for everything we needed. The views were wonderful and the ideas Pietro gave us for exploring the area were useful and all fun. The view from the rock in Micciano was wonderful. Pietro was available for all of our questions. It was a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the Tuscany country side.
If you want rest and relaxation, this is certainly the place for you. As previous reviewers have pointed out, it is quite a way from anywhere. The nearest village, Micciano (which by the way is not a mere 10 minutes walk away), has a smart restaurant and a shop which we never actually found to be open, but is pretty. Much better for shopping is Ponteginori which has everything you need, including petrol. It's about 12-15 minutes' drive away.
The house is wonderfully situated on the top of a hill with great views all round. It's a lovely old building surrounded by flower and herb beds, and a vineyard just below. Everything that we needed (there were 3 of us) was provided, including towels for the swimming pool, which was excellent.
We visited many of the towns and villages in the area and would particularly recommend Montecattini val di Cecini and Casale Marittimo. Not to mention Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena and Lucca!
Pietro and Eva were very welcoming as has been mentioned by other reviewers.
As our heading points out, a unique getaway.
Our family loved our time here. It. Was. In. The. Middle. Of. Nowhere. This is why we loved it. We spent time in this house for a few days on and around Easter Sunday. We went to the teeeny tiny church for Easter Sunday Mass. Our visit was amazing. This was the perfect base for us to visit Pisa, Lucca and Volterra. It's off the beaten path (as in these town folks only speak Italian and are still excited and courteous about foreigners). My kids enjoyed getting lost in the hills of the forest, we loved sitting at the picnic table, drinking wine and watching the sunset. I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon this little slice of heaven. Owners were quick, responsive and excellent hosts. I tell everyone I know who is visiting to make a trip here. Our world is vastly changing and becoming more and more global... this place is true, unadulterated Italy. Something to treasure, whille we can......
a really nice location for a quiet holiday. The house and the hosts are just super. The house itself is beautifully divided, all residents have private areas as well as common areas. Inside, everything is available for a nice stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms include a good mattress and nice bright rooms. There exist outdoors tables and benches so that you can have breakfast in the morning or the evening meal outside and enjoy the wonderful views of the countryside. The hosts help with advice and practical tips for Tours in the Tuscany, without being intrusive. Micciano is a good starting point for many tours (Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano). For the kids, the dog and the cat Cora Aldina were the highlight. Also the Pool has a good Quality and was for us and the Kids a real pleasure. So for us it was not the Last Visit to Tuscany, and to I Casali !
We had the most wonderful stay in the I CASALI , It was just beautiful! The quiet the views and not forgetting the hosts Eva and Pietro. The farmhouse is just wonderful. Very clean and fully equipped, and if you needed anything Eva was there with it! The location it just perfect for getting around, a car is needed. We went to Lucca , which is a must! Volterra , Livorno, San Gimignano, they have a market on a Thursday, which is lovely to visit, make an early start to get there as its gets really busy and parking can be a pain! Then have a leisurely walk round have a coffee or even better still a glass of local wine! and just watch the world go by! Siena , Monteriggioni are also lovely to explore. In all these places there are lovely stops to eat and taste the wonderful Italian wine. So Tuscany is a must! And staying in Pietro and Eva idyllic farmhouse just made it the perfect base. Thank you to you both.
hidden next to Micciano, in the middle of nature, you find this beautiful house with a lovely swimming pool and the most overwhelming views. (sunrise !!) The house has just everything you need, including self-made nature soaps , olive oil and wines and you can drink the tap water. And it is a great homebase to visit all the famous [places in the area. The description is not telling a single lie and communication and service from the owner could not be better. I can highly recommend it !

Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - February 3, 1949, Winona, Minnesota VOLUME 48, NO. 296 WINONA, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1949 FIVE CENTS PER COPY EIGHTEEN PAGES Ban State Liquor Dispensary Measure Introduced Gain in State Taxes Claimed Minnesota Would Retain Full Control At Wholesale Level St. controversial state liquor dispensary bill was In- troduced in the state senate today by Senators Leo Lauerman of Olivia and B, E. Grotlum ol Jackson. Senator Grottum claimed that his plan would bring in about more a year than the raised through liquor taxes for the last fiscal year. Under the bill, exclusive control of the purchase and of liquor with- in the state at the wholesale level would be vested in the state liquor control commissioner, whose salary be a year. Half the net profits over 000 each six months wo.uld be dis tributed the state's coun- ties, cities and villages on a per capita basis. Contrasted to Present Law Under present law, Minnesota re- ceives per capita in revenue from the sales of distilled spirits and has been returned to cities, towns and counties. No .liquor retailer would be al- lowed to purchase liquor except from the state liquor control commission- er. The state department of ad- ministration would buy the liquor from distillers on order from the liquor control commissioner. Simultaneous with introduction of the bill, Lawrence Hall of St. Cloud, former speaker of the house of representatives, in a statement charged "bootlegging, gangsterism, and all of the evils of prohibition days have plagued states" having liquor monopolies. Hall is general council for the Minnesota Wine and Spirits Insti- tute which today distributed a 11- page pamphlet containing repri from newspapers in liquor dispensa- ry states entitled "Graft, Bribery, Corruption, Political Chicanery to Liquor Monopoly States." "A liquor dispensary in which the state goes into the business of sell- Ing as a monopoly on a wholesale level is a dangerous socialistic ex- Hall said.

He added that "this reve- nue is likely to be lost" under the Lauerman proposal. "Minnesota has splendid en- forcement and control the former five iime speaker of the house asserted. "This agency with its .simple regulatory powers Is. do- ing an enviable job. The drys rec- ognize this and realize that law en- forcement and education are reduced to a minimum when sales become the paramount factor of the state's operation. "Mismanagement and graft can throw state sales Into a talispin such as has been the case in Ohio and Pennsylvania. In these states the liquor administrations are writing off a loss of to a year due to reasons not evident In private management." The same two senate authors in- troduced a similar bill last session.

The cardinal's former secre- tary, the Eev. Ondras Zakar, also pleaded "partly guilty" but said he only followed orders of his superiors Mindszenty and six others are be- ing tried on charges of treason, spy- ing and black market dealings Mindszenty is the first Roman Cath- olic cardinal ever to be tried by a civil court. As the trial opened, Mindszenty acknowledged that he wrote a letter offering to work for peace between the communist-dominated govern- ment and the Roman Catholic church, if his trial was put off. The court, watched by the world In history's first civil trial of a prince of the Catholic church, read a letter which it said came from the cardinal, who was present dur- ing the reading. The letter said Cardinal Minds- zenty admitted "grave errors" in his fight against a church-state under- standing, promised to give the Hungarian bishops a free hand tc negotiate with the government and asked that the trial be adjourned. It added that he "would withdraw himself for a considerable time" if the trial were adjourned and that he could render good service to the Hungarian republic. The communication, read by Pre- siding Judge Vilmos Olthys, who said it was addressed to Justice Minister Istvan Riesz, caused a dramatic pause almost at the very start of the trial. Judge Olthys, a professional Jur- ist, and his four fellow law Judges, retired briefly to consider the un- expected request.

Chairman Spence (D.-Ky.) ot the House banking committee, said today. Both landlords and tenants will have plenty of chance to testily, he said, when the committee starts hearings Monday on the administra- tion bill to extend strengthened rent controls for two years. Spence had this comment on a movement by some Oklahoma land- lords to withdraw their rental prop- erty from the market in protest against controls: "If this Is intended to coerce con- gressional committees, it might have the opposite effect." Under present law, a tenant must go to court to protect himself against illegal eviction. But the new bill gives the federal housing expe- diter definite authority to prevent such evictions and to bring action against landlords If necessary. The administration measure would extend coverage to several types of accommodations not now under rent control and would give the housing expediter authority to recontrol areas previously decontrolled. These types of housing would brought back under control: 1. Hotel rooms not rented to trav- elers. 2. Leased housing which has had 15 per cent rent Increases. Those would be decontrolled under present law. 3. Accommodations not rented for 24 months. Such units are now exempt. The bill does not bring under con- trol newly constructed rental prop- erty. It would give the federal expediter the right to sue for triple damages for In the rent U the I tenant did not do so.. At present only a tenant can sue. The adminis- tration says few have exercised the right "for fear of being evicted." Navy Prepared To Lay Up 72 Ships Under Cut Washington The Navy said today it will have to lay up 72 ships, including 15 top-line fight- ing vessels, and cut its strength by men to meet President Tru- man's 1950 budget. Secretary of the Navy Sullivan said three Essex-class carriers, nine light cruisers and three anti-air- craft cruisers have been picked for Inactivation. In a letter to the chairmen of the Senate and House armed serv- ices and appropriation committees. Sullivan said the Navy plans to start reduction at once. In addition to the cuts in shlpi and men, Sullivan said the Navy must reduce its air strength by a small percentage some 400 planes out of more than and shut down a dozen small air stations. And he said "a general reduction in the scale of activity at naval shore establishments supporting the fleet, Including employment levels at naval will be necessary. The secretary said the cost of making the cutback must be met out of this year's money.

Pass X250.5 right channel hum problem
Nelson this is a strange problem, without any inputs attached the amp is dead silent out of both channels, as soon as one of the many pre's and a passive we tried, be they balanced or single ended, there is an audible annoying hum from the right channel, we tried to disconect the earth from the pre's with no help.
The amp sounds fine either in balanced or single ended, but the hum has me stumped, and it's just loud enough to be heard from the listening chair during quiet passages, Nelson have you a simple fix for this?
Cheers George
I have also heard from the customer on this. The 250.5 has
slightly more hum on the right channel, about 250 uV as
opposed to the left channel at around 200 uV. This is due to
its closer proximity to the AC line input, and is most apparent
with RCA cables. In practice we find that the issue is minimized
by twisting the RCA cables helically between the amp and
preamp, and of course balanced lines takes care of it well.
As I understand it from the customer, this problem showed up
after the amplifier was modified by inserting more resistance
in series with the input. I has been my experience that doing
so will not increase the noise, so I wonder if something else
has crept into the equation, but I don't have any better advice.
Ordinarily at this point we like to see the amplifier for ourselves.
I purchased a X250.5 last year and I noticed the same problem.
However, it's only a problem when using the unbalanced input, and since I use balanced it's not a problem for me.
On thing I've noticed is that the right channel uses an earth lift resistor, whereas the left channel does not.
I've measured to confirm this, and visually there is indeed a 10 ohm resistor in series with the earth, but only on the right channel.
Note: When I short out the 10 ohm lift resistor the hum disappears.
Hi VHF,
I think i have the same issue as well, but the hum is mainly from both speakers whenever the amp is hooked up with Pre amp via RCA ports.
I did notice there's a little resistor soldered at the rear left RCA, not quite sure whether it's the same thing you described.
Hope to hear from you soon.
I have PM you on this as well.
That is not stock, and it might be the source of the difficulty.
X250.5 hum annoying... HELP
Help !!
I am kind of desperate here...
I have a X250.5, with the HUM claim.
I have the jumpers on the XLR's. without connection on the RCA's, everything is fine, as soon as I connect it to the preamp, lots of hum in both channels.
but wait, I'll take the preamp out of the equation, I put a straight RCA cable between left and right of the amp, and there is the noise !!!!!
If I put a jumper only on the grounds of both inputs, no noise, whenever the hot inputs are somehow close, this annoying hum appears...
please help me out !!
Mithrandir's time .......
just one question - is everything stock inside ?
yeap !!!
maybe this is interesing too:
at the beggining I thought it is a ground issue, as if I shorted the grounds (at each RCA's) the hum appeared, so I bypassed the 10 ohm resistor from ground to the connectors ground, and put a 10 ohm resistor at the other channel, between ground and the rca's ground, and the noise dissapeared.
but for my surprise the noise is much louder as I connect both lives togheter.
(it does not matter the resistors to ground, if I bypass them or not)
I am really annoyed
thanx for replying
The X250.5 is built a bit different since it has two boards VS one for our other amps. In some situations it can have some hum on it usually on the RCA inputs. I have a really good fix for this but it does involve pulling the power supply board out and some soldering but so far always works. Best done at the factory
but this is DIY.
I was about to put a thick wire between the ground connections, the ones that come from the PS, and strap both PS ground cables on the middle of it, but I will await for your comentaries..
muchas gracias !!!!!
