Montes Alpha Series Syrah 2008
Syrah/Shiraz from Chile
Winemaker's Notes
The 2008 harvest featured a normal spring followed by a warm summer, allowing the production of elegant wines of soft, mature tannins and the exceptional development of color in our Syrah. On the nose it shows both potency and elegance while on the mouth it presents its trademark softness with a persistent finish
Of intense ruby red color, it has enchanting floral aromas accompanied by tobacco and leathery notes. On the mouth, it's powerful and full bodied to the palate, with soft and mature tannins and a very long and elegant finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2008 Alpha Syrah is purple/black in color with an alluring nose of smoke, game, mineral, underbrush, and blueberry. Medium- to full-bodied, succulent and chewy on the palate, this lengthy effort is likely to evolve for 1-2 years but can be approached now."
Wine Spectator - "A ripe, up-front style, displaying lots of briar, anise, plum cake and fig flavors that push through the juicy, full-bodied finish. Very solid. Drink now."
Montes Winery
With the release of the first Montes Alpha wine back in 1988, Montes became one of the first premium wineries of Chile. Their premise, a clear belief that Chile had an untapped potential as a producer of quality wines, made them a benchmark for other wineries to follow. Its original four partners' total involvement and the continuous help of the angels that decorate their labels was key to their success. Two decades later, Montes is the fifth most important winery of Chile where Aurelio Montes continues leading the winemaking area with the same passion as the first day. Hard work and total focus on quality has led Montes to be one of the most successful and respected quality-driven wineries in Chile as they continue pioneering and breaking new grounds in wine.

About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Do You Believe the Bigfoot Sightings in East Texas?
Two days ago, multiple news sources reported about a woman getting into a car crash in Idaho - she blamed Bigfoot.
Two days ago, multiple news sources reported about a woman getting into a car crash in Idaho - she blamed Bigfoot.
There's no doubt in Bobby Hamilton's mind that Bigfoot is real, and proving that is just a matter of finding one and turning over the evidence.
There is a huge fascination with the unknown and unexplained, whether its ghost hunting, bigfoot tracking or UFO sightings, these paranormal activities have made their way into mainstream society and is part of our pop culture thanks to TV shows on Discovery, A&E, TruTV and SyFy. Tyler's first ever Paranormal Conference is scheduled to be held in the city in April.
Many people swear they've seen or heard Bigfoot. Most people don't pay much attention because they don't believe in it. A giant ape creature who kinda looks and acts like a human, that no one has ever been able to prove is even real, is hanging his hat in East Texas? Yeah, right. Well it seems that enough evidence has been found and the big dogs want in on the search.
If we don't get irrefutable evidence of Bigfoot by the end of next year we're probably never going to get that proof. That's because Spike TV is upping ante on the search for the hairy creature, offering $10 million to the first person who can find him.
Do you believe in Bigfoot? Well, lots of people say yes and then some say no. But this man says he not only saw Bigfoot, but that his camper was attacked by the mythical creature.
So the whole conversation starts today because I was watching TV last night and was wondering how many people believe in mythical and wondrous creatures, aliens or even spirits or ghosts.
John Lloyd Scharf, a Bigfoot fan from Oregon, emailed the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department last week about hunting unknown creatures, and according to Texas law, apparently it is legal to kill Bigfoot in the state of Texas -- if, in fact, it does exist.

4th - thanks for the link. It does seem easier to find the stuff online than it does at the local stores.
Fun Fact: Meat curing is a process that has been around since 500 BC, utilized frequently by the ancient Romans.
Prague Powder Number 1
Yes the stuff we do not like to see in our foods. But.. It helps prevent food poisoning in cured meats and foods..
If you have ever had food poisoning, real food poisoning.. Oh Go you will never forget it.. Sick..
Very little bit goes a long way, lot of meat curing.
Real nice people.. Easy "free shipping" spice connection.. Price wise? not sure.. But I hate standing in the store for 2 hours trying to find the damn spice..
First time shoppers, free sample even..

Not big on Pemmican myself but here's something that may be of interest:
Lex Rooker's Pemmican Manual
See this document for how to make pemmican.
Here is the Jerky manual which describes the process for dehydrating the meat.
Pemmican is a concentrated nutritionally complete food invented by the North American Plains Indians. It was originally made during the summer months from dried lean Buffalo meat and rendered fat as a way to preserve and store the meat for use when traveling and as a primary food source during the lean winter months.
When pemmican was discovered by our early Frontiersmen (explorers, hunters, trappers, and the like) it became a highly sought after commodity. The Hudson Bay Company purchased tons of pemmican from the native tribes each year to satisfy the demand. The basic unit of trade was an animal hide filled with pemmican, sealed with pure rendered fat on the seams, and weighed about 90 pounds. As long as it was kept away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight, it would last for many years with no refrigeration or other method of preservation.
There appeared to be two types of pemmican. One was a mixture of 50% shredded dehydrated lean meat and 50% rendered fat by weight. The other mixture was similar but contained 50% rendered fat, 45% shredded dehydrated meat and 5% dried and ground berries by weight. The berries were typically Saskatoon berries which grew in abundance in the Great Plains area, and are similar to blueberries.
There is much controversy as to whether the natives included the dried berries in the pemmican they made for themselves or whether they added it only to the pemmican they sold to the Hudson Bay Company "because the White Man preferred it that way". I'm of a mind that the natives consumed it both ways. The Journals from the Lewis & Clark expedition clearly state that the Indian tribes they encountered consumed some berries, fruits, and tubers as part of their diet. It seems reasonable that the inclusion of some dried berries would not be out of character for the batches of pemmican made in late summer when ripe berries were available. Berries do not appear to be a nutritional requirement and they increase the chance of spoilage, so the pemmican formula in this document is for meat and fat only, and does not include them.
Please bear in mind that pemmican is NOT a raw food, as the fat needs to be heated above 200 deg F. in order to release it from its cellular structure and drive out the moisture. It is therefore not recommended as part of a daily RAF (Raw Animal Food) diet. However, it is a useful compromise when one is traveling, for use as emergency rations, or when otherwise high-quality raw animal foods are unavailable.
It is important that the lean meat used in pemmican be dehydrated at a temperature below 120 def F., and a temperature between 100 deg F. and 115 deg F. is ideal. Temperatures above 120 deg F. will "cook" the meat and will severely compromise the nutritional value of the pemmican. Federal and State laws require commercial dried meat products like jerky to be raised to a temperature above 150 deg F. which cooks the meat to a well-done state and makes it totally unsuitable for making pemmican.
Nutritional Issues
The nutritional qualities of pemmican are unmatched when it is properly made. It can be eaten for months or years as the only food and no nutritional deficiencies will develop. Yes, that is correct, no fruits, vegetables, grains, or dairy products are required to maintain perfect health – just properly made pemmican and water.
Vitamin C and scurvy is often brought up as a concern. Explorers, hunters, and Native Americans have demonstrated over and over that consuming raw meat or meat that was dried at a temperature below 120 deg F., as long as there is sufficient fat present to supply enough calories, will maintain perfect health and prevent or cure scurvy. Those who consume salted and preserved meats, biscuits, and other processed foods, even when lemon juice is added to their diet, will often die from scurvy or other nutritional deficiencies.
Calcium and weak bones is another concern. Due to the advertising of the dairy industry, it is believed that milk, cheese, or other dairy products are essential to maintaining good bone density. It has been shown that people eating a diet of meat and fat, where the animal consumed was allowed to eat its natural diet, (usually grass), bones developed normally and remained strong with no sign of deterioration.
For the best quality pemmican, use red meat, (deer, beef, elk, bison, etc), and the rendered fat from these same animals. The animals should be grass fed or have eaten their natural diet in the wild. DO NOT include nuts, seeds, vegetable products, vegetable oils, grains, beans, or dairy products of any kind. A small amount of well dried berries (blueberries, Saskatoon, strawberries, etc) is the only acceptable addition and should not exceed 5% by weight should you choose to include them.
Equal amounts by weight of very dry red meat and rendered beef tallow. If you have one pound of dried meat then you will need one pound of rendered beef tallow, two pounds of dried red meat then two pounds of rendered beef tallow, etc.
Rendering the Fat Rendering fat is a simple process and most of us are familiar with it as it is one of the end results of frying bacon. The process of frying the bacon releases the fat from the cellular structure of the meat and drives off the water. It is the boiling off of the water that actually makes bacon pop and sizzle. The fat itself just turns to a liquid.
Our goal in our rendering process is a bit different from frying bacon in that it is the fat we wish to keep rather than the crisp "cracklin's", which by the way taste good when they are still warm with a bit of salt. If you don't want them they make wonderful dog treats when cool.
We also want to keep the ultimate temperature of the fat as low as possible. I try to keep it below 250 deg F. and usually shoot for a final temperature of around 240 deg F. You gain nothing by raising the temperature any higher than 240-250 other than more damage to the fatty acids which we want to avoid as much as possible. In short, you need the temperature high enough to boil off the water in a reasonable length of time, but as low as practical to maintain the nutritional value and not denature the structure of the fatty acids any more than necessary. There are two generally accepted methods of rendering. One is to place the fat in a pot and heat it on the stove top. The other is to place the fat in a roasting pan and put it in the oven with the temperature set between 225 – 250 deg F.
The stove top method can be completed in about one hour and requires constant attention. The oven method takes 12 hours or more, but can be left unattended during the entire process. I will be covering the stove top method here with comments on the oven method mixed in but not demonstrated.
Cut the fat into small pieces about ½" square. Place the diced fat in a stock pot or pan. I select my pot size such that the raw fat fills the pot about ¾ full. This gives me head room to stir and mix without slinging fat all over the stove or counter. It also fills the pot deep enough with the liquid fat so that I can use a candy thermometer to keep track of the temperature.
If you are using the oven method just put your fat in a good sized roasting pan and pop it in the oven set between 225 to 250 deg F and then go away for 12 to 24 hours. The oven thermostat will take care of the temperature for you.
Set your burner to medium high heat and stir well about every minute or so for the first 10 minutes. This will keep the bottom from overheating while enough fat is being liberated to cover the bottom of the pan.
After about 10 minutes you'll see a pool of fat forming on the bottom which should be merrily boiling away. You can now rest a bit and stir every 5 minutes or so just to keep things well mixed.
After about 30 minutes the liquid fat should be deep enough to cover all the chunks and it should have the appearance of a rolling boil. Reduce the temperature to medium heat and put a candy thermometer into the fat making sure it does not touch the bottom of the pan. The water boiling off the fat will keep the temperature around 220 deg F for a while, but there will come a point where the temperature will start rising.
Keep stirring occasionally and keep your eye on the thermometer. As it begins to rise, lower the heat setting to keep the temperature around 230 to 240 deg F. The picture above is after about 45 minutes. The cracklin's are beginning to turn dark in color, the boiling is slowing down, and the temperature of the fat is rising requiring close attention to the heat setting.
After about one hour the major boiling action will have stopped and there will just be small bubbles rising from the fat. 90% of the cracklin's will be a chestnut brown color. The lighter chunks may have a bit more fat left in them, but it is not worth the effort to extract it. If you did the oven method, the fat in your roasting pan should have a similar look.
Now take a good sized strainer and place it the container where you will store your rendered fat.
Line the strainer with a single layer of paper towel. This will filter out the sediment and just allow the liquid fat to drip through.
From your pot or roasting pan pour the fat, cracklin's and all, into the lined strainer. Press on the cracklin's with a serving spoon to press as much fat out of them as possible. When you've gotten all the fat you can, remove the strainer and set the container aside to cool. You can sprinkle the cracklin's with a bit of salt and pepper and enjoy them as a snack, set them aside to cool for dog treats, or discard as you wish.
The square tub on the left is tallow that was rendered from the fat of grass fed animals. It is a deep butter yellow from the caritinoids (the fat soluble vitamin "A" precursor that gives carrots their orange color) that gets stored in the animal's fat from the green grass they eat. The round bucket on the right is the tallow we just rendered from fat that I got from a local market. The putty color is typical of the fat rendered from grain fed animals. There is little or no carotene stored in the fat of grain fed animals.
There is also a major difference in the fatty acid profile of grain-fed vs grass-fed animals. The grass fed animal fat is between 25 and 50 percent healthy Omega 3 fatty acids. The grain fed animal's fat is only 2 to 3 percent Omega 3. Omega 3 fatty acids are critical to the development and maintenance of our brain and nerve tissue. Overall, the meat and fat from grass fed animals has far greater nutritional value than grain fed beef. Therefore, if you want to make pemmican that meets all nutritional requirements without the need for additional supplementation, both the lean meat and the fat should come from grass fed animals.
Dried Meat Preparation
To make any useful amount of pemmican, a large quantity of well dehydrated lean meat is required which does not lend itself to the use of small tray-type food dehydrators. The plans for a simple dehydrator that can be built for less than $20 and will hold a full 10 pounds of raw meat is available here: http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/wp-conte...structions.pdf
These plans also give full instructions for dehydrating meat at low temperature for making jerky, or if the meat is left unseasoned, for making pemmican. Generally, well dried meat will weigh just slightly less than 1/3 of its raw weight. Therefore, 10 pounds of raw lean meat will yield about 3 lbs of thoroughly dehydrated meat. Since pemmican is 50% fat and 50% dried meat by weight, 3 pounds of dried meat will make 6 pounds of pemmican which will be equal to about 18 pounds of fresh meat.
Start with well dried red meat. Beef, Bison, Deer, Elk, etc. Make sure that the strips of meat are thoroughly dry all the way through. Any observable moisture in the meat will provide an environment for mold and bacteria to grow. If the strips of meat are bent double they should crack and not be rubbery.
Traditionally the meat used for pemmican is dried without salt or any other seasoning. If you choose to season your meat I suggest that you go very lightly – less than half of what you would use for jerky. Use only dry spices like garlic powder, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and salt etc. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER make pemmican with meat that has been marinated in soy sauce, wine, or any marinade that contains sugar of any kind, and no vegetable oils of any type. I always make my pemmican without salt or seasoning and usually prefer eating it that way, but on occasion sprinkle a bit of salt or steak seasoning on it at the time I eat it for a change of pace – be careful, a little bit of seasoning goes a long way in this dense food.
Grind the meat to a fibrous consistency like a fluffy, but slightly chunky mulch. I use a meat grinder with the largest plate (biggest holes) possible. The grinder above is a large #32 manual ChopRite with a 1 ½ horsepower motor in place of the handle, and fitted with a "bean" plate that has 3 very large oval holes. If you attempt to use a plate with small holes, (½" may work, ¾" or larger is much better), the holes will clog, the grinder could lock-up, and you may damage it. Feed one strip at a time and wait until the exit holes begin to clear before adding the next strip. If it is too chunky and not well shredded, run it through a second time.
Alternatively you can shred the meat in a food processor using the steel blade, or in a blender. When using these options it will be helpful to chop the dried meat into smaller pieces, and some people pick up the blender and shake it while grinding to keep the un-ground chunks moving into the blades for a more even grind.
Traditionally the dry meat was pounded into a powder using rocks. I've tried the pounding method using a hammer and a small blacksmith's anvil. Unless you have a lot of time and need the exercise I don't recommend it. It is a lot of work.
Weigh the amount of ground meat that you have and then weigh out an equal amount of rendered animal fat from the rendering process above. Fat from red meat animals is preferable for best nutrition and keeping qualities as it becomes very firm when cool – similar to candle wax. No vegetable oils or butter should be used. Pork or lamb fat can be used but are not recommended as the fatty acid profile is different and they melt at too low a
temperature. This can cause the fat and lean to separate in warm weather, so storage becomes a problem unless you are willing to pack the pemmican in liquid tight containers.
Melt the fat on low heat. It will start to melt at about 120 deg F. Try to keep the temperature of the fat below 150 deg F. You spent time drying the lean meat at low temperature to maintain its nutritional value so you don't want to deep fry it when you mix it with the fat.
Mix the shredded meat into the melted fat and stir until well blended.
The completed mixture should look much like moist crumbled brownies. The mixture may look "wet" but most of the fat should be absorbed or coating the meat fibers – there should be little or no liquid fat pooling in the bottom of the pan.
Using a sturdy spoon, press the warm mixture into a mold of your choice, or spoon into a Ziploc plastic bag and press flat, removing as much air as possible. The grey colored molds above are mini loaf pans that are slightly larger than a cube of butter and hold about 150 grams (1000 total calories) of pemmican. The Ziploc bags are sandwich sized and are loaded with about 300 grams (2000 total calories). When pressed flat they are about 5" x 6" x ½" thick. Set aside to let cool and harden. The final product will be very hard – almost like a block of wax - and will look a bit like dark oatmeal with some ground raisins stirred in.
If you are using molds such as cupcake tins or loaf pans as above, the pemmican can be removed from the mold once it is hardened and then stored in plastic bags or wrapped in a grease proof paper. One convenient method I often use is to press the mixture into lined cupcake pans and then store the resulting hockey pucks with their paper liners in gallon sized Ziploc plastic bags. Each cupcake in a standard cupcake pan will hold about 75-80 grams (around 500 calories) if you pack them solid to the top.
If you want to keep your pemmican for any length of time, it should be stored in a dark place or wrapped in light tight paper or aluminum foil as well as placed in a plastic bag to keep out air and moisture. Pemmican does not require refrigeration and can be kept for years at room temperature as long as it is kept dry, and shielded from light and direct heat.
How Much Do I Need?
One half ( ½ ) pound of pemmican per day is about the minimum required for a sedentary adult and provides about 1,500 calories. Someone doing light activities might find ¾ pound more appropriate to their needs and this would provide about 2,200 calories. Twice this amount (or more) could easily be necessary when doing hard physical labor (think digging ditches or mountain climbing).
Pemmican is the perfect food for backpacking and hiking. Ten pounds of pemmican will easily sustain a backpacker for a full week providing 1 ½ pounds of pemmican per day which would supply 4,400 calories – enough to support strenuous climbing at high altitude and in cold weather. The same 10 pounds of pemmican would supply food for two full weeks of leisure camping activities at ¾ pound per day providing 2,200 calories.
When made correctly, using grass fed lean red meat, dried at a temperature below 120 deg F., and rendered fat from grass fed animals, pemmican is a complete food and no other nutrients or supplements are necessary to completely meet all human nutritional requirements. No other single food is as calorie dense or nutritionally complete.

Very interesting info. Thank you much.. Especially about the fats, one has to be careful.. Fat is an essential part of our diet..
People do not want to listen?? It is not the fat in our diet that is killing us. It is the sugars and white flour.. A Doctor and nutritionist is trying to get people to listen??
White flour and sugars cause a rough surface on our veins and arteries.. This, in tern, causes blood to clot and bind, on the rough surfaces.... Believe, do not believe?? Your choice.. As usual, the pharmaceutical industry is fighting the poor guy, hand over fist. Take your cholesterol meds..
Toss your white sugar and white flour..

good stuff--
i'm curing out some corned beef--
I used to be able to buy potassium nitrate as saltpeter in many Drug stores or garden supply stores. While it is difficult to find saltpeter in the New America, you can still purchase potassium nitrate, which is used to make smoke bombs and certain other fireworks, as 'stump remover'. In the USSA, you can find it at Lowes or Home Depot, among other places. Look for the Spectracide brand in those stores near the insecticides. If you can't find potassium nitrate, you may be able to order it online, plus it's a chemical you can make it yourself from piss.

In Translation: Lisa Bielawa and Frances-Marie Uitti
Words and music have long influenced each other from Palestrina's sacred motets to Schubert's lieder to Brecht and Weill's epic theater works. In this February 13 performance titled In Translation, composer and singer Lisa Bielawa and cellist Frances-Marie Uitti join forces with poet Christian Hawkey in an improvised response to brand new, never before heard text by Hawkey.
Bielawa introduces the concert with Berio's Sequenza III, a demanding piece for female voice which is largely unpitched and employs an extended musical language including laughing, gasping and sighing.
The feature event of the evening is the collaboration between Uitti, Bielawa and Christian Hawkey. In an intriguing performance format, the two musicians leave the room while Hawkey recites a new work he has written specifically for the show. When the performers return, Hawkey presents them with the poems and a half hour of improvisation begins on words that are now familiar to the audience but are interpreted on a moment's notice by Uitti and Bielawa.
Don't forget to poke around the Q2 Live Concert archive for more exciting live performances at your fingertips. You can access Q2 24/7 through our pop-out audio player or iTunes. (L)PR's Technical Director is Richie Clarke and this concert was mixed by Noriko Okabe.

What is a Tuning Box?
It's a question we get asked regularly here at TDI Tuning: what exactly is a diesel tuning box? Put simply, it's an easy-to-install device that can be incorporated into your engine bay to boost your engine's power, torque and fuel efficiency.
All of our diesel tuning boxes connect securely to your engine and work in parallel with your Engine Control Unit (ECU). Our products adjust and streamline the engine's fuel injection parameters, engine timing, boost pressure and quantity of fuel added, to significantly improve overall performance.
Tuning boxes typically plug straight into the engine's existing wiring structure, so all you will need to install your new purchase are some very basic tools such as a screwdriver. There is no wire cutting involved, as the system connects directly into your existing wiring. We make it as easy as possible for our customers to install our systems by providing them with comprehensive, easy to follow pictorial English (other languages also available) installation instructions and offer a dedicated customer support service that provides technical advice around the clock. All of our tuning boxes also come with a full 14 day money back guarantee and include a 3 year warranty for your complete peace of mind.
Vehicles are operated differently with multiple driving styles and requirements. The challenge for car manufacturers is to ensure that their vehicles are able to operate regardless of the conditions and environments in which they are used. They'll factor a large degree of tolerance into the engine to prevent it from unanticipated wear and tear. This approach leaves ample room for us to tap into the engine's hidden power capabilities and enable your vehicle to better to suit your requirements without reducing reliability.
There has been much talk of the circulation of a number of low-quality diesel tuning boxes in recent years, and the manufacturers of these inferior products have inadvertently given our industry a bad name. The simplistic devices in question will only send out static signals to the engine, which often results in unpredictable and uncontrollable engine behaviour. You can rest assured that TDI Tuning only stocks diesel tuning boxes with safe, genuine electronic circuit systems and high performance micro-processors. With the customer in-mind, all of our systems are delivered to the customer pre-configured to achieve the perfect blend of additional Power, Torque and Fuel Efficiency. However if the customer has a desire to select an alternative performance setting, all of our products are exceptionally easy to adjust.
Please note that, whilst we do our best to provide our customers with the most accurate power figures possible for each diesel tuning box we offer; the power and torque gains assigned to each product have been documented over years of installations and rolling road tests, and so should be used as an accurate guide yet there may be some slight variation with your own vehicle.
Pulling Power
Our diesel tuning systems are developed to dramatically increase your vehicle's power and torque (pulling power), meaning, if you regularly tow a caravan, boat or heavy-duty trailer, you will certainly benefit from installing a diesel tuning box from TDI Tuning. Our experienced team appreciates that pulling away or attempting to accelerate with a heavy load in an underpowered vehicle can be a daunting prospect, especially if the burden is clearly placing an undue strain on your vehicle. With this in mind, we work to bring you practical solutions that will allow you to drive in these conditions with complete confidence.
The Benefits Over an ECU Remap
TDI Tuning also provides a full in house custom remapping service as well as class leading digital tuning systems. With this in mind, we are unbiased and will always provide the customer with the best available options available to them.
An ECU remap involves refining the sophisticated program that controls your ECU. Once your engine has been re-programmed (re-mapped), it can be difficult to restore it back to its factory settings, and in most cases the company which carries this work out for you will charge you for this service. Subsequently, we do not charge our customers for putting their vehicle back to standard should they ever wish too. Our diesel tuning boxes can be removed effortlessly and, once removed, your vehicle will revert back to its standard setup (a particularly strong advantage for customers with vehicles still under their manufacturer's warranty). Our systems are flash upgradeable, which means you also have the option of updating your system in the future. In addition to all of these points, diesel tuning boxes from TDI Tuning can be over 50% more cost-effective than a standard remap from a simular specialist.
Fuel Savings and Power Increases
A question we're often asked is how can a tuning box save me fuel and therefore money? Engines become more efficient if they are capable of carrying out their tasks whilst combusting less fuel. When a diesel tuning box is installed, the increased power and torque will ensure that your vehicle is capable of providing greater returns whilst combusting less fuel.
We know that investing in a tuning box for your vehicle will save you fuel and ultimately money. You may be surprised to learn that all modern engines are restricted to operate underpowered due to a wide range of variables taken into consideration by the vehicle manufacturers themselves. Modern engines are restricted in order to accommodate some of the following factors:
- Global variants in fuel quality
- Climate
- Air quality (inc altitude)
- Regional emissions regulation
- Significantly variable driving environments
These significant variables are taken into consideration when an engine program is written. Since engine programs are written for global use, the margins for every combination of variable are excessive. This allows us to safely utilise a part of these margins, and in turn provide the vehicle with considerable gains in performance and fuel economy whist still keeping suitable safety margins in place. Unlike many other tuning companies, we write region specific maps which are suited to the geographic location where the vehicle will operate. For example, if we remap or provide a tuning box for a vehicle in Europe, we will write files specifically for that vehicle when used in Europe. The same rule is applied for all other countries across the globe. This ensures that we can obtain the best output from the vehicle in any country.
Design and Development
TDI Tuning works closely with our own electronics engineers both here in the UK and Germany, to bring you high standard technology that is sure to go the distance. We have decades of combined experience in the automotive industry and boast key exposure to engine control systems and fuel injection technologies.
Regardless of your budget, we stock a wide range of tuning solutions that will suit your requirements. Our competitively-priced CRTD diesel tuning boxes are a perfect starting point, while our CRTD2 multi map, multi channel tuning boxes are a great choice for those demanding the very best from their vehicle.
Are Your Products Safe?
A vehicle is likely to be your pride and joy, a substantial financial investment and needs to be maintained. For this reason, you need to be sure that any installable aftermarket device such as a diesel tuning box is 100% safe. Our tuning boxes have been extensively tested to ensure they are designed and manufactured to our very exacting standards. Our systems sit behind the vehicle's ECU, which means that the main engine ECU is always in control of the vehicle and safeguards against any potential damage.
We'll help you get the most power from your vehicle in the safest way possible. Our team will be able to help you select a tuning device that best suits your vehicle. We have an extensive knowledge of all of the major brands and models across the world and understand that the optimum settings vary from vehicle to vehicle, so we'll provide you with recommendations based on our expert knowledge and many years of experience.

Indian Rocks Christian has a new boys basketball coach for the first time in two decades.
After longtime coach Joe Frost (20 seasons) stepped down, the Golden Eagles promoted from within, announcing the hiring of junior varsity coach Eddie Moralobo, who spent eight seasons with the program.
"Eddie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position," IRC athletic director Phil Farver said. "It will be a smooth transition for the players and the school."
During his tenure, Frost guided the Golden Eagles to three playoff appearances, including the state semifinals in the 2001-02 season.
"Coach Frost felt that he has taken the program as far as he could at this time and a change was needed for him and the program," Farver said. "(Frost) felt that with increased administrative duties, he was not able to put into the program what he felt he needed to. He will be able to spend more time watching his son, Christian, play football and basketball and his girls, Autumn and Somer, play basketball."

How One Shopping-Addict Transformed Retail Into A Story-Telling Experience [Need To Know]
How Rachel Shechtman melds story-driven content and marketing to create a new experience for shoppers.
Originally published in PSFK's Need To Know Magazine Volume 1.
Rachel Shechtman is the founder of Cube Ventures, a retail and marketing consultancy. She brings her strategies to life through STORY, a new physical, retail marketing experience that has the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery and sells things like a store. Rachel explains the project to PSFK:
We are ready for new retail models—both for brands and consumers. As a technology savvy culture, we get news and information every second, and in other formats through daily newspapers and monthly magazines; yet, most stores refresh goods four times a year and renovate after many years.
I believe it is time for all forms of retail to explore a more fluid format to mirror the rapid exchange of information in other areas of our lives.
STORY was created based on two hypotheses: First, while retail will always be about consumption, I believe that story-driven content and community will be a vital component of the consumer dialogue. Second, on the brand side, I feel strongly that retail is an untapped frontier for advertising.
I subscribe to what I call a 70/30 theory. 70% of what I believe consumers want is quality, service and something familiar (and value depending on the market and consumer) and 30% surprise and delight in the form of a good experience (they don't know they want it, but they respond to it!)
I believe our model taps into that 30% and that is why we have been successful. We are merchandising and editing products as our version of editorial content, and consumers are loving it. Transactional Storytelling! We have customers begging our sales staff and emailing our manager to find out the next STORY.
If you create a compelling experience people will fly across the country for it.
If we were a traditional retailer, I doubt we would be getting emails saying 'what is in your window next month?' We are building a community and telling stories and therefore giving customers a reason to come back every four to six weeks! By creating a model that hardwires a sticky element to the consumer experience, we aren't just logging sales but building strong relationships.

Tony Nicklinson, the man who suffered from "locked-in syndrome", has died. Nicklinson became famous over the last several months due to his court battle with the British government over his right to die.
Last week GlobalPost reported that Nicklinson lost his court case over his right to be legally euthanized.
Nicklinson had a stroke in 2005 and described his life since as a "living nightmare," BBC News reported.
Because of his condition, he is physically incapable of taking his own life, and had been petitioning Britain's High Court to allow a doctor to help him die without fear of persecution.
Family spokesperson Saimo Chahal told the BBC that Nicklinson died at home at about 10:00 BST accompanied by his wife, Jane, and two daughters, Lauren and Beth.
According to Nicklinson's wife Jane, his health went rapidly downhill over last weekend, having contracted pneumonia.
Chahal added that Nicklinson was heartbroken by the High Court decision that he could not end his life at a time of his choosing with the help of a new doctor.
"He could not understand how the legal argument on his behalf could not succeed," adding that Nicklinson was "crestfallen, totally devastated and very frightened."
Prior to his death Nicklinson became an active member of the Twitter community. His family updated his account to read:
"You may already know, my Dad died peacefully this morning of natural causes. he was 58." His family later added, "Before he died, he asked us to tweet: 'Goodbye world the time has come, I had some fun'."
According to the Huffington Post, there will be no investigation into his death.

Ayesha Gaddafi
|Ayesha Gaddafi
عائشة القذافي
December 25, 1976
Tripoli, Libyan Arab Republic
|Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
|Libyan Army
|Lieutenant colonel
Ayesha Gaddafi (or Aisha, Arabic: عائشة القذافي, born December 25, 1976), also known as Aicha Al-Kadhafi, is a former Libyan mediator and military official, former UN Goodwill Ambassador, and lawyer by profession. She is the fifth child and only daughter of former Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi by his second wife Safia Farkash.[1][2]
She is currently under a travel ban and has been stripped of her titles working with the UN.[citation needed]
Military service[edit]
She trained with the Libyan military, earning the rank of lieutenant colonel.
In 2000 after sanctions were imposed on Iraq, she arrived in Baghdad with a delegation of 69 officials. Shortly before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, she met with Saddam Hussein.[3] In 2011, she strongly denounced the policies of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. President Barack Obama, calling for a mediation of the Libyan Civil War through an international organization which would exclude them.[4]
Ayesha has served as a mediator on behalf of the government with European Union corporations.[3]
UN Goodwill Ambassador[edit]
Ayesha Gaddafi was appointed as the United Nations Development Program National Goodwill Ambassador for Libya on 24 July 2009, primarily to address the issues of HIV/AIDS, poverty and women's rights in Libya, all of which are culturally sensitive topics in the country.[5][6] In February 2011 the United Nations stripped Ayesha of her role as a goodwill ambassador.[7]
Legal affairs[edit]
Saddam Hussein[edit]
In July 2004 she joined the legal defense team of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.[3]
Muntadhar al-Zaidi[edit]
Gaddafi is also the head of the charity Wa Attassimou, which defended Muntadhar al-Zaidi when he faced charges stemming from the shoe-hurling incident.
Libyan civil war[edit]
Travel ban[edit]
She was placed under a travel ban on 26 February 2011, under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970.
Legal Petitions[edit]
Gaddafi sued NATO over the bombing of a building in her father's compound which she alleged killed her brother, Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, and her own infant daughter. She claimed that the attack was illegal because it targeted civilian buildings. Gaddafi's lawyers filed the petitions in Brussels and Paris in June 2011.[8] However, on 27 July 2011, it was reported that Belgian prosecutors had declined to investigate the war crimes complaint filed by Gaddafi against NATO, stating that the courts of Belgium lacked jurisdiction to deal with the matter.[9] On 3 June 2012, through her lawyer Nick Kaufman, Ayesha Gaddafi also petitioned the judges of the International Criminal Court requesting that they order the Prosecutor - Fatou Bensouda to disclose what steps she had taken to investigate the murder of her father and brother Mutassim Gaddafi. This application was opposed by the Prosecutor who stated that requiring her to disclose the requested information would intrude on prosecutorial independence and discretion and potentially impede the investigation itself.[10]
Battle of Tripoli[edit]
As the Battle for Tripoli reached a climax in mid-August, the Gaddafi family were forced to abandon their fortified compound. On 22 August, Libyan rebels captured her house in the Battle of Tripoli.[11] Among her possessions was a golden sofa shaped like a mermaid with the face of Ayesha, designed by an Egyptian artist.
Flight to Algeria[edit]
On 27 August 2011, it was reported by the Egyptian news agency Mena that Libyan rebel fighters had seen six armoured Mercedes-Benz sedans, possibly carrying top Gaddafi regime figures, cross the border at the south-western Libyan town of Ghadames towards Algeria,[12] which at the time was denied by the Algerian authorities. On 29 August, the Algerian government officially announced that Safia Farkash together with Ayesha and her brothers Muhammad and Hannibal (along with his wife Aline Skaf), had crossed into Algeria early on 29 August.[12][13] An Algerian Foreign Ministry official said all the people in the convoy were now in Algiers, and that none of them had been named in warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for possible war crimes charges. Mourad Benmehidi, the Algerian permanent representative to the United Nations, later confirmed the details of the statement. The family had arrived at a Sahara desert entry point, in a Mercedes and a bus at 8:45 a.m. local time. The exact number of people in the party was unconfirmed, but there were "many children" and they did not include Colonel Gaddafi. The group was allowed in on humanitarian grounds, because Ayesha was pregnant and near her term.[14] The Algerian government had since informed the head of the National Transitional Council. Libya's rebels said sheltering Gaddafi family members was an act of aggression, and called for their extradition.[13]
On 30 August 2011 it was announced that Ayesha had given birth to a baby girl in the town of Djanet. They were reportedly being confined by the Algerian government to a villa in Staoueli near Algiers, and were being cut off from outside communications.[15] In October 2012 she, along with two of her brothers and other family members left Algeria to go to Oman, where they were granted political asylum.[16]
Personal life[edit]
Ayesha was dubbed in the Arab press as the "Claudia Schiffer of North Africa," because of her dyed hair.[1] In 2006 she married Ahmed al-Gaddafi al-Qahsi, a cousin of her father's and an army colonel. Her husband was killed in the 26 July bombing of Gaddafi's compound.[17] They had three children prior to the fall of the regime, one of whom was killed along with one of her brothers in a NATO airstrike. Algerian authorities confirmed that she gave birth to her fourth child, a baby girl, on 30 August 2011, shortly after arriving there after fleeing Libya with other members of the Gaddafi family.

The rolling Football thread (2012-2013)(285 Posts)
The rolling Football thread for Season '12-13 might as well start off with the same intro as did the original rolling Football thread:
There are quite a lot of football fans on MN, and also loads of football-haters. If we hide here in Dadsnet, none of the detractors will find us. But if they do, they are welcome to come here and moan.
You dont have to be male to post here, of course. (No-one would say women cant post in the Dadsnet section, just like no woman would EVER say men arent welcome on Mumsnet )
Footy fans please sign in with
1.Which team you support.
2.Which team(s) you loathe.
3.How you are getting your kids to follow the correct team.
4. A thought on the season (Premiership/Championship/Champions League/FA Cup/League Cup/(el clasico?)/(Euro 2012?)
Arsenal are being sponsored buy easyjet next season. They will take you to any destination in Europe and have you back by the cheapest and quickest route.
Man U are cutting the price of season tickets for next season. On the basis that games will be a little shorter in future.
Cathy to Alex:" No dear. Eggs take 3 mins to boil. No need for the extra 5 mins."
OK... the last day... 36 goals... 5-5 whod a thought!... should be a great MOTD later
These harvested from the web and re-posted here, hoping you associate me with clever and witty rather that copy and paste.
What is a Tottenham fans favourite quote?
"There's always next year."
So, Spurs new kit sponsor is NEXT.
Probably because there's always next time for them.
So many trophy winning managers have been sacked this season..
It seems the only way to keep your job in football is by managing Arsenal.
One Direction are to play at Wembley next year.
Hodgson says he expects a tight game but they will have to be a bit more careful at the back.
Arsene Wenger has guaranteed Arsenal will make it to Wembley next year.
He has bought the players tickets to the One Direction concert.
After signing a one year contract with Chelsea, Frank Lampard has said he is looking forward to working with the next 3 or 4 Chelsea managers.
An ITV reporter asked Rafa Benitez what he thought he'd be taking away from the Europa league victory.
P45 Rafa, a P45.
I really don't care for ITV football coverage!
I'll tell you my reasons right after the break.
Nice gesture from Everton today.
Letting Moyes take all the trophies he won with him.
Howard Webb is said to be disappointed not to have been mentioned in Fergie's speech.
"After all I've done for him and this club" sobbed an emotional Webb.
I asked Alex Ferguson if he had any plans for his retirement.
"I quite fancy opening a 24hr.6min. garage." He said.
Alex Ferguson is to collaborate with Stephen Hawking on a rewrite of "A brief history of time", after convincing him that the big bang should actually have started 5 minutes later.
Man Utd's Chairman has already received a CV for Alex Ferguson's job.
He has ignored it because it looked like it was written by a 4yr old......
That's Harry Rednapp out of the frame then!!!!!
Sir Alex Ferguson has been in charge of 1,500 games for Manchester United.
If you include time allowed for stoppages, it's nearer 2,000 games.
Following the shock news that Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring at the end of the season, Wrigleys have announced they have entered administration.
Tottenham have had more Bale-outs than Greece, Ireland and Spain put together.
Sepp Blatter's office was burgled, and all the results for Russia 2018 were stolen.
Now that Cardiff have won the Championship, there are now 3 Welsh teams in the Premiership.
Cardiff, Swansea and Gareth Bale
"It's 2 in the morning and you come crawling in with a love bite on your neck?" she screamed.
"Sorry dear, we were playing away at Anfield again this week."
"Fair enough love"
Robin van Persie's Premier League winners medal will be the closest Arsenal have come to silverware in years.....
I don't understand the Arsenal fans giving the United team such a poor reception last week. They've waited for years to see the Premier League champions run out at the Emirates...
And finally, my favourite...
As an Arsenal fan I was delighted to hear that Fergie had retired.
At least not winning anything will be easier next season.
Heres to next season... good luck to Cardiff, Hull and ????
who was in the SAF Stand..
Yes, I have been talking with two London Reds by phone and a good mate how was in the SAF Stand, and they say the same thing. The confidence of having Moyes and the back room he will have gave that edge to it. I've had numerous great days at OT over the years (incl winning promotion from Div2!) but was still v on not being there. But life moves on...ha!
Schools? Scholes.
Pan: it was a fab atmosphere, credit to the Swansea fans, there weren't many of them but they had their say ( including one round of "is this a library" and as you say the sacked in the morning bit). It was pretty emotional but more of a party than a wake. Schools got loads of cheers and started and played an hour. The whole thing was pretty amazing, the match itself was almost a sideshow, but delighted that we won of course.
tiger - what was it like? In the rowdy MU pub I was in it seemed the Swansea fans went along with it. Incl "Sacked in the morning!" chant when Michu equalised.
Hi Belfast. Two teams: our local team is Oxford United. A glorious 9th, for the second year running, in L2 - the sort of place the players chase after you to offer their autographs....
DS also supports Man U, so I do by default, and DH who hates footie sort of does too. i got tickets for the Swansea match months ago for DS's birthday, little did I know what an occasion it would be, I got a lot of brownie points!
Yes it was pretty emotional, tbh.
Giggs? He's doing his coaching qualifications, and whilst he hasn't actually nailed his colours to any mast....well, judge for yourself?
Wigan - sorry, but...sorry.
Was it emotional? I didn't see any footy yesterday. I felt some emotion when I heard that Spurs had won, damnit.
What are Giggs's plans?
tigerdriverII who do you support? The Watford finale was amazing!
Well, that was all emotional, wasn't it?
But with Scholes going nowhere else, Giggs looking for an appointment in the coaching staff as well, poss. P. Neville following DM, and SAF behind the scene...it could really be 'same old, same old..' Which is nice.
Looking at the table we should be ok, but.... as a long suffering saints fan I'm well aware we can snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory at any time
We'll have to agree to differ, Pan
or I'll monopolise the whole thread forever and a day as I jabber incessantly about my beloved Blues!
On another note, I'm just about to check on the fortunes of another south London lot - Palace - in the hope that they're winning tonight.
delboy - def squeaky bum time...
Yeah..my point exactly about egos and Chelsea. It isn't about Lampard getting a total of goals - it's about the club and team.
And you aren't in a mess at all. Still in third and no excuse because our Manc clubs excelled, when your club wanted to undermine the efforts of the manager, who takes responsibility for the outcomes each week. Fans chose to make life difficult for Benitez, and so the club. It's a bit late to complain about the outcome.
Jesus, there's a dadsnet? how did I not know this? Southampton fan here!
A good job? He took over when we were in 3rd place, 4 points adrift of the leaders. Now look at the mess we're in! And as for his benching of John Terry and Frank Lampard, he needs shooting and strangling too!!! If Frank doesn't hit that record of best goalscorer before the end of the season, because he's almost certainly not going to be at the Bridge next year, it will be no-one's fault but Benitez's for repeatedly benching our vice captain. For that alone Benitez deserves the derision and contempt of the fans - and so does Abramovic for putting him where he is and unceremoniously dumping RDM.
<and breathe> :D
ooh Benitez. Really really good job done in all of the mire he has trod in, and none of his making, surely. Abramovich has created a culture of the 'ego' and B. has done an excellent job of, oddly, breaking that down. Another experience of The Special One will be a reversion to that culture. But it's your bed.
Goal-line technology - 50/50. Sometimes I just want the game to flow come what may, sometimes I scream at the ref. Refereeing standards - sometimes I scream at the ref! Get Foy, Webb and Clattenberg out, start bringing in new blood, a wider ref pool to choose from, make reffing a more attractive proposition for the young sportsperson. Germany v Spain - meh, Germany but I can't get excited about it. Financial rules for UEFA - you mean they have any? Shearer shot or strangled - both.
Benitez - just don't go there.
Ooh. I joined this thread a zillion years ago and never got on the list, not sure why <<weeps>>
But guess where I've got tickets for on Sunday.....
We've missed so much this season on here. Goal-line technology, Benitez, financial rules for UEFA, refereeing standards, Germany v Spain dominance in Europe, and should Shearer be strangled or just shot in the head?
Thank you Pan.
Welcome rambo!
Right up there, at the top, you asked some questions so having found what surely must be the best place to hang out on MN I'd best answer them.
1.Which team you support. Well, Chelsea of course. Who else?!
2.Which team(s) you loathe. None I really dislike, not keen on Liverpool, keener now on MUFC as it was their manager I despised rather than the team.
3.How you are getting your kids to follow the correct team. Hopeless. One fairweather Blues fan, one determined to be awkward, doesn't really have a clue about football Gooner.
4. A thought on the season (Premiership/Championship/Champions League/FA Cup/League Cup/(el clasico?)/(Euro 2012?) Well Euro 2012 was pretty good! The Europa will have to do this year but the chances of us winning it are far from a promise.

Lets be honest, how many treats do you give your dog each day? The treats I have are Natural Balance Fish & Potato and he loves them... But how many is too many a day? How many do you give your small dog each day??? Any other advice on how to reward your dog w/o always giving a treat??

I (C.J. & Chompers' Mom) give them treats whenever they are warranted! However, if I know they have received numerous treats in a given day, I do decrease the amount I feed them.
I treat regularly about 4 times a day, but certain days we go through training, or something "happens" in the course of a given day (meeting new people, new dogs, etc.) and the treating is increased. On those particular days, I do cut back on the amount they get at their regular feedings.
On training days, we usually "treat" with much smaller portions (break up the usual treat into smaller bits) because they tend to be given much more often (to reward the behavior). However, C.J. is very toy-oriented and Chompers is very attention-oriented, so we are able to affirm behaviors with those as well.
The only time that there are "too many" treats in a given day is when they make up the majority of the pet's diet. If you feel this may be the case, start treating with actual "food" and omit unhealthy treats.

BUSTED!!!!Good question. I give my boys a treat about 4 maybe 5 timea day. Jesse gets about 2 in total.She is way smaller then the boys. Their treats are only about an inch long(old mother hubbard treats-their puppy biscuits)the same company that makes Wellness.Oh the bird he gets about 3 treats a day.When the boys get theirs the bird starts barking like a dog so he has to have one as well! LOL

We don't have a regular treat schedule here.
I use treats mainly for training. In training, I use them as lures to work on brand new behaviors, and I use them as rewards when I want to solidify behaviors she knows but isn't always fast on.
Besides that, she gets treats in her Kong if we're away for a large part of the day, and she sometimes gets special rewards when she's really deserved them - like a piece of my burger or a bit of vanilla ice cream.
For training, we usually use freeze-dried liver, Authority liver treats, or teeny tiny minuscule pieces of cheese.
If you use a lot of treats throughout the day, especially if they're pretty large, then you should subtract some of the regular kibble so Dewey won't get fat.
There are plenty of ways to reward other than treats: praise, petting, tossing a ball, offering a tug toy, and life rewards. Life rewards being things like getting the "go ahead" after being told to sit before eating, or before going out the door.

I dont give my Chihuahuas any flour based treat. I chose something natural like dried fish. I get it from Walmart and are like little guppy fish but dried. I can feed them about 10 a day and I feel OK because it is a high calcium and protein treat.Chose a treat that satisfies and nourishes and remember its a reward and not a meal. I wouldnt feed more than 2 cookies per day speaking of regular dog biscuits.

Let's see. A smoked pig skin (we smoke ourselves) when we leave for work. A chicken jerky treat when we come home and an after dinner marrow bone or pizzle. Now, that sounds like a lot, but I've got a 90+ lb GSD and a 50+ lb mutt. During the week, it's at least 30 minutes of fetch and an hour long walk. On the weekends, double that. They have free run of the house and about an acre yard during the day. So, they aren't fat and they get tons of exercise. For training treats - small pieces of dried liver - they LOVE that!. Or if I'm trying to get them away from doing something for the food - lots of praise. If we're working on 'stay' and I'm tossing their toy - if they stay then they go get to chase their toy when I tell them 'ok'. Praise works real well with the GSD, tummy rubs or throwing her frisbee works great with the mutt. You know what your dog responds to well besides food - so try that as the reward. It's amazing how well praise or scratches work.

I am totally guilty of this. I feed Tiffy treats about 4-5 times a day. I give her treats in the morning when I leave for work, when I get home from work, when she gets in her kennel, and any other time when she is being good, which is always. It all depends on the type of treat you give and your dogs size. You pretty much have to use your own judgement, what you think is best for your dog. You give rewards all the time with out knowing it. Being in your presence is a reward for a dog, a pat on the head, a belly rub, playing games, are all examples of rewards.

Looking to Energy-Saving Measures to Save Alachua County Schools Money
Last night we told you how the Marion County public schools have saved more than 3-million dollars in energy costs over the past two years. Tonight we look at how Alachua County schools is behind in doing the same.
The greatest cost to operating schools is powering them, keeping the lights on costs more than ever. But energy efficiency isn't a new concept in Alachua county.
This week Marion County is boasting the savings of more than 3 million dollars due to an energy conservation plan they put in place two years ago. And according to Alachua County school board member Eileen Roy the school district had the opportunity to do the same.
The school board paid an energy consultant 26-thousand dollars in February, 2007 to come up with a district-wide plan but little has happened.
"For the last year and a half the consultant hasn't done anything to save a penny of energy in that time," said Roy.
Director of Facilities for Alachua County schools says the cost-saving incentive plan will be rolled out this August.
"We wanted to start that at the beginning of the year, we missed the deadline for the start of this school year so we moved it to the following year," said Gable.

Hey folks,
So after reading through all the "Hey this is my first time help me out and tell me where to go..." I hope this doesn't sound as stupid. And sorry if this has already been asked, I look a bit and couldn't find a similar conversation.
I've been most places but back east we usually have pretty small spreads for decoys and we are usually in water.
What are you folks finding that works for you in a decoy spread. I'm targeting Mallards but would also take recommendations on geese because a few of the guys that are hunting with me have never shot snows. We will be in the central area of ND from 11/9 - 11/17.
Sillosocks? How many
Sillouettes? How many
Full Body dekes? How many
Wind ducks or mojos?
What's your spread layout look like?
Where do you place your layout blinds?
I have a black lab, would you recommend a Mutt-Hut?
Thanks for the help and if I can ever offer any advice on New England or Fortsmith Montana send me a PM.

Palestinians lose more than most in Syrian exodus
By Alexander Dziadosz
AIN AL-HELWEH, Lebanon (Reuters) - Palestinians Mahmoud and Ahmed fled Syria last month for Egypt, where they paid smugglers to bring them to Europe. Once at sea, they were robbed at knifepoint and herded onto an overloaded boat that sank, pitching over 100 into the sea.
The brothers made it back to shore while others drowned, then to be deported in days from a volatile Egypt where anti-Palestinian sentiment runs high. Now at the Lebanese camp of Ain al-Helweh, they face as Palestinians restrictions on their lives far more severe than any other refugees from Syria.
A people all too familiar with refugee life, Palestinians have lost out more than most in the exodus from Syria.
"They grabbed the women and children and tossed us onto the boats like they were tossing rocks or some other worthless thing," said Mahmoud, 23, who asked that his family name not be used. "There was no way to turn back."
"They pulled knives on us and took our money and mobile phones and stripped the gold off the women."
The war has forced some 50,000 Palestinians to flee Syria, a country where they had enjoyed some of the most favorable treatment in all of the Arab world.
The number is a sliver of the 700,000 registered Syrian refugees in Lebanon, but enough to strain overcrowded and volatile camps and stir memories of Lebanon's own civil war; a conflict some see rooted in the arrival of armed Palestinian factions in the decades after Israel's foundation in 1948.

Pınar ketchup can be eaten deliciously with pasta, sandwich, hamburger, pizza, grilled meat dishes and fried potatoes. 300 Gram 500 Gram and 750 Gram of packaging alternatives are presented to the consumer.
Pinar Ketchup is a product which is pure and rich in lycopene. Lycopene is a pigment in carotene family, found naturally in vegetables and fruits. Many studies have shown that lycopene can prevent prostate cancer, breast cancers, lung cancer, heart degeneration.Lycopene is an anti-oxidant which absorbed by body. It helps to repair damaged cells. Anti-oxidants fight with DNA oxidants which may give rise cancer. When the amount of lycopene in the blood increases, the oxidant-compounds decrease.Human body can not produce lycopene, but obtain from foods. Tropical fruit, watermelon, red grapefruit contains likopen. However, 85% of lycopene contains in tomatoes and tomato products. Respectively, tomato paste, ketchup, tomato juice are rich with lycopene. Recent researches claim that the best way of obtaining lycopene by processed tomatoes. (tomato sauce, ketchup, etc.)The anti-oxidant effect of lycopene reduce the risk of breast, digestive system, cervix, bladder, skin, and lung cancer. At the same time restorative and rejuvenating effects on the skin are also known.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), has operated the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF), based on an electron accelerator, continuously since the early 1960's. SURF I was established in 1961, utilizing a 180 MeV electron synchrotron at NBS in Washington, D. C. This accelerator was moved to the Gaithersburg, MD site in 1968, specifically for the continuation of SURF I operations. It was converted to an electron storage ring, SURF II, in 1974 under contract with the Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), and became a national standard of irradiance in the UV and VUV spectral region. To improve its performance in this application and broaden its spectral range, SURF II has been converted to SURF III, commissioned in December 1998. The design and construction of the new system were overseen by PSL and the Synchrotron Radiation Center at UW. SURF III remains a weak-focusing, single-magnet storage ring with a circular orbit. However the original 140-ton laminated iron core magnet has been replaced with one having a 200-ton solid iron core of revised geometry, allowing operation over an energy range of 100 Me V - 400 MeV. The magnet system design was optimized using both 2-D and 3-D calculations. The predicted circumferential field uniformity of the order of 2 parts in 104, a factor of 40 improvement, was confirmed experimentally over the electron energy range of anticipated radiometric applications. The storage ring vaccum system has been updated, two more radiation ports have been added, and the control system has been modernized. The exceptional magnetic field uniformity in this machine is already giving rise to interesting beam dynamical effects.

"A world that once indulged American profligacy is no longer willing to do so."
-Andrew J. Bacevich, The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
The current financial and economic crisis is humbling the American Empire and changing the deeply unconscious acquisitiveness of the American Dream. Both as individuals and a nation, we are being forced to give up our illusory and misleading version of the American past and our dream of managing history. It is different this time: "A world that once indulged American profligacy is no longer willing to do so."
New limits will be placed upon us, and we must awaken to this new reality and alter our basic assumption that more is always better. But with these losses will also come gifts, if we know where to look. Mr.Parham will help us explore some of the ways each of us might act to ensure our basic economic wellbeing by separating what is essential from what is merely "bling"—and begin to reawaken to lives based primarily on relationship, spirituality, and self-awareness rather than the acquisition of money and power.
Patrick Parham, M.A., spent 25 years in global trade, headquartered in New York while also living in Japan, Switzerland,and Jamaica. He currently teaches at St. Thomas University and is a trained Spiritual Director. Patrick also serves as treasurer of the Center for Jungian Studies of South Florida
Learning Objectives:
Following the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the power of projections onto materialism to mislead them
away from genuinely meaningful imaginal journeys;
2. Discover the attitudes to cultivate that authentically enlarge life especially
when the illusions associated with projections onto object acquisition
have collapsed.

Grounding, budget woes cloud F-35 warplane sales push in Australia
Australian officials know the stakes are high.
"We're only a small player, but other countries are watching. Of course Lockheed don't want to see orders vanishing," said a source at Australia's Defense Materiel Organisation, part of the defense department, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
U.S. Lieutenant General Christopher Bogdan, the Pentagon's F-35 program chief, approved the fleetwide grounding just before leaving Washington for a major air show in Melbourne, Australia which starts this week, when it will draw attention from potential customers in Asia.
Lockheed executives have been trying to reassure Canberra that the JSF is on course. They insist that problems with software and design, including imaging and night vision functions of the pilot's helmet, are being resolved, and testing is ahead of schedule.
One U.S. defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the technical problems bedeviling the new fighter were less troubling than Washington's budget woes.
Sweeping budget cuts due to take effect in the United States on March 1 could cut funding for the Pentagon's biggest weapons program and delay work on seven jets this year alone.
"What the foreign partners worry about is the stability of the program writ large," said the official. "We're solving the technical challenges. There are no showstoppers there, although they're not cheap."
In the U.S., military budgets are already slated to be cut by nearly $500 billion over the next decade, an amount which could double unless Congress acts in the next week to avert spending reductions known as "sequestration". Continued...
