8/11/2016 – what is the best yeast for making brandy?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Brandy is essential WINE that has been distilled, so there are many different types of brandy (fruits like apples, grapes, peaches etc). I would use a yeast that is appropriate for the type of fruit you plan to use in making the wine. A red wine yeast for red grapes, for instance, or a cider yeast for apples, perhaps a fruity wine yeast . . .
8/28/2013 – Do you sell the Pasteur Red yeast in the bigger sized blocks instead of the smaller individual packets. And if so , what's the price ?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It's an extremely busy wine season, and supplies sometimes get low (even from our suppliers). We SHOULD get more soon but it might be weeks, or even months before we see it again.When we have it in the 500 gr size, it sells for $26.95
10/17/2011 – Where can we purchase Red Star Yeast or red wine yeast in Stamford Ct area?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can send it by Priority Mail in 2-3 business days.
5/17/2010 – what is your phone number?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can be reached at (425) 355-8865Our toll free order number is (800) 850-2739
12/1/2009 – Using a packet of dry yeast, how long can the yeast wait to be added to the fermenter, once it is mixed with the water? Will it lose its potency?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A few minutes is normal, and there is certainly no reason to wait beyond that anyway.How long it can stay in a water solution is anyone's guess. It probably depends on how sterile the container and water are, temperature and other factors. There are no nutrients present at that point, so I am guessing that after a few hours the yeast cells . . .
11/11/2008 – How do you ship wine yeast? Doesn't it need to be kept cool?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The common dry wine yeast needs no refrigeration. We typically use FedEx or USPS Priority Mail.If you order a Wyeast liquid yeast culture, and the weather is expected to be hot on the way (above about 85 deg F) then we recommend buying a Frozen Gel Pack also. It will protect your yeast for a few days while it is in transit. They are available . . .
10/14/2008 – Hi, I live in India, How can I obtain good quality wine yeast from you ? In India day time temperature in winter can be as high as 78 Deg F is it ok for most wine yeasts ?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, you can buy wine yeast from us directly from our website.78 deg F is fine for many wine yeasts. Red wines are best fermented at this temperature.
1/26/2008 – I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, we have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Everett, WA. People actually walk in and buy stuff!Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204Heck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will actually answer as long as it's business hours!
10/8/2007 – i would like to know the average time it takes to complete fermentation for a zinfandel royal using pasteur red yeast?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We don't sell a zinfandel "royal" (not sure what that IS, actually), but most wines will complete fermentation in about 2-3 weeks, depending on temperature, sugar content and nutrients present. Your results may vary, of course.
9/3/2007 – would like to buy yeast red star pasteur red 500 grams. home brew heaven only sells small amounts. Please tell me were we can buy larger amounts.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Shortages sometimes happen. Particularly in wine season, like September.
11/5/2006 – I live in Seattle, can I come and pick up the bottles in Everett? Do you have a "brick and mortar" store?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You sure can. It is literally made of bricks and mortar, in South Everett. Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204425-355-8865Hours are 10am-6:30pm Monday-Friday and 10am-5pm on Saturdaysand 10am-3pm on Sundays
6/7/2006 – I would like to know who certifies the wine yeast as kosher. Thank you
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Red Star® Active Dry Wine Yeast strains produced in Baltimore, MD are certified Kosher, includingPassover, by Organized Kashrus Laboratories, Brooklyn, NY. Red Star® Active Dry Wine strainsproduced in Croatia are certified as Kosher-Pareve by the Chief Rabbi of Croatia.
3/3/2006 – I am making some "potato" wine (first try) and bought some yeasts and additives from you. The recipe calls for "wine yeast" so I bought some Red Star Pasteur and some Lalvin EC1118. From what I have read, these are supposed to handle a high alcohol content. After boiling the potatos and adding all the other ingridiants the S.G. is about . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The Lalvin EC1118 can go as high as 18% under the right conditions. It should ferment your wine to dryness. Pasteur Red should also do the job.
12/15/2005 – What is the difference with all the yeasts? Can Fleischmanns active dry yeast work?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: To make bread? Yes. It makes crappy wine, however.Each yeast strain has different flavor and aroma characteristics, as well as different alcohol tolerances. Good wine is made with quality wine yeast. NOT bread yeast.
6/8/2005 – This is the first time Ive ever made wine, so Im still learning. I have the grape juice already,(home made grape juice) but Im not sure what kind of grapes they are. All I know is that they are a purple grape, so what red wine yeast would you recommend?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I would use Pasteur Red or Premier Cuvee, but any will "work".
4/27/2005 – Can one re-use the yeast sediment for another batch after fermentation is done, sort of like re-using a sour dough starter?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It can be done, but we don't recommend it for wines. For beer, where LOTS of yeast is an advantage, yes.Besides, the cost of fresh wine yeast is so low, it doesn't make much sense. Spring for $0.99 worth of yeast...it's worth the peace of mind.
12/29/2004 – What would happen if you combined different yeast strains for your wine brew? For Example, if you hydrated and proofed a Montrachet together with a Champagne, then pitched them together into your mixture?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: As you might expect, you would get something in between the two flavor profiles. The most alcohol tolerant one, however, would "win out" if there is sufficient sugar.
10/13/2004 – I want to buy a yeast for the fermemtation a mix honey and orange juice at 12% Alcohol. i don't see in your web site, If you have give me the price and web site address.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There are many different wine (and mead) yeasts that might be good for this. Here are links to both:
9/8/2004 – I recently crushed 8 cases of zinfandel grapes and added & mixed-in campden tablets to the "must". I then pitched my yeast. Should I have waited a day to pitch the yeast? Will the campden tablets kill off the pitched yeast?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes. It is very likely that you have at least "stunned" your yeast, and possibly killed it. You need to wait at least 24 hours after adding sulfites to your must before adding yeast. Additionally, the fermenter must be kept open to the air during this time. I would obtain some more yeast, stir well and re-pitch.
8/16/2004 – can you use bread yeast to make wine.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, if you want to make crappy wine. You can also use wine yeast to make crappy bread!
8/9/2004 – Hello, Is it Possible To Add Too Much Yeast To The Must?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It's possible, but very very unlikely. You would have to add POUNDS to a 5 gallon batch to achieve it. Adding 2-3 standard packages is just fine.
6/6/2004 – Does your wine come in a concealed box and address. I come from a town where the making of alcohol is frowned upon.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can send your package "discretely" if you need it that way. Just tell us in the "comment" section when you go thru checkout.
11/24/2003 – Just prior to adding the yeast when making an 8 gallon batch of applecider wine, I noticed the package read "good up to 5 gallons". I wasn't able to add a 2nd package until now (48 hours after original package was added). Do you think I'll be ok? Any recommendations at this point?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Probably not a problem. The yeast will multiply as needed to gobble up the sugars. By the way, OUR Wyeast packages are good for 10 gallons (XL Packs). Not sure where you got yours, but we sell only the 10 gallon sizes. Better to have too much yeast than not enough.
11/8/2003 – What kind of wine yeast should I use for....(berries, apples, white wines, reds, etc etc etc)
Response From Homebrew Heaven: This is a common question. There are many more wine yeasts available now than in the past. We have a helpful Wine Yeast Selection Chart available here:http://store.homebrewheaven.com/articles/wine_yeast_recommendatons.htmHope this helps!
11/7/2003 – What is the best yeast for making apple wine? I plan to use apple juice.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: That really a matter of preference, but for a true wine, I would use Cote de Blanc. For a cider, I would use Wyeast Cider yeast #3766. Both of these emphasize "fruitiness", and leave a little residual sweetness.For a wine yeast selection guide go to:http://store.homebrewheaven.com/articles/wine_yeast_recommendatons.htm
Response From Homebrew Heaven: For yeasts, I would choose Cote de Blanc (dry) or Rudisheimer (liquid). Premiere Cuvee will work, but I think these two are better choices.Yes, a batch of wine can sour (turn to vinegar) with poor sanitation and oxidation. This is often due to acetobacter, a bacteria, and exposure to air. Fruit flies are notorius for spreading it.Both . . .
9/7/2003 – How long will it take for me to receive a shipment of yeast. Them there grapes won't wait!
Response From Homebrew Heaven: That depends. Where ARE them there grapes?Sorry. I don't mean to be a pain, but that kind of info helps a lot. Many people admire those grapes growing all year long, and plan to make wine with them. It's funny to me that it's only when they PICK the grapes that they think of ordering yeast. We can get most packages out within a day or . . .
9/1/2003 – This is the first year I'm trying to make wine from Cabernet Franc, any suggestions which strain of yeast to use for this varietal. A wine maker suggested Prise de Mousse, but I'm also reading about Pasteur Red.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I think the Pasteur Red would be a better choice. A very nice yeast for any red wine. Perhaps a better choice would be the Wyeast (liquid strain) Bordeaux #3267. It has a very complex, berry and graham cracker type flavor that I like, anyway.Either yeast will do nicely!
8/17/2003 – If each packet of yeast is sufficient for 5 gallons of wine, would i use one fifth of the packet to make one gallon of wine? What would happen if i use the entire packet to make one gallon?How can i get my wine to have a higher alcohol content?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Using more yeast (like the whole package) only starts the fermentation faster, it has little effect on the total alcohol content. There is no harm in using the entire package.To increase the alcohol content, you need to increase the sugar content of the juice. The yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and CO2. The CO2 is released during . . .
7/22/2003 – I make white wine from bottled white grape juice. Pls. advise which wine yeast I should use.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The Lalvin D47 should work very nicely. Another one is Red Star Cote de Blanc.

Digit Dust
Unicorn Milk is our Signature Scent and for good reason! It's fruity, creamy, and sweet, full of bright scent, and love.
What is this?
Think Bath or Mani Bomb, without the shape. Easy to use, you choose how much or little you use.
This fizzing bag of fun is an effervescent moisturizing soak.
All natural and SLS free, this is a safe and fun alternative to some store bought bath bombs.
With oils like Jojoba, Shea, and Sweet Almond in just the right amount, this is a not overly oily, pre-manicure treatment to loosen dead skin, and help in the removal/care of cuticles.
Manicures are Fun! Digit Dust makes them Funner! Haha!
How to use Vapid's Digit Dust:
This is the fun part!
For a pre-mani soak simply add warm water to a bowl just large enough to fit your digits, all ten if you'd like.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of Digit Dust, and add your digits.
Let it fizz and wiggle your fingers around a bit to make sure all the powder is dissolved and the oils can do their thing.
We recommend to soak up to 5 minutes, but if your water starts to cool, it's time to stop.
Rinse your digits and pat dry.
Now you're moisturized and you smell like a dream!
Digit dust can also be used in foot spas, or foot soaks, as well as bath tubs.
Simply add more dust, or the whole 2 oz bag if needed. We won't judge. You deserve it.
Please make sure that you are using caution when stepping out of foot soaks/spas, or the bathtub,
as Digit Dust can make the area very slippery and you could slip.
Always use caution.
If this products causes redness, itchiness or any other reactions, discontinue use immediately and wash area.
Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Oil, Fragrance, Colorants.

If you're friends with a guy or talking to a guy and you both said you like each other and have even been intimate, how do you make him take it to the next step? Do you just have to wait until he's ready? Does forming a relationship just take time? Also Is there a certain type of girl that guys want as a girlfriend and are there certain traits and behaviors that guys look for in a girl? Maybe I'm too anxious about being with him. Maybe I should take my time. But how long is too long to wait?

What continent do you live on?00|00|0
I live on the North American continent, thanks =). What continent do you live on?
Same, but advice on this sort of thing doesn't translate globally.
You don't 'make him' take it to the next step. The question is is he holding back waiting for you to say something, or is he just assuming you're sort of dating, or is he just assuming it's never going to happen?
You know you like each other, you've been intimate, go ahead and ask him if you're headed to being a couple, or are a couple, or what. Do not mention marriage at this stage, however.
Thank you for your input. I think I will ask him directly where things are going. I don't like to assume things.

|[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-160) Reuse BrokerImpl objects
|Tue, 27 Feb 2007 23:07:06 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12476438 ] John Stecher commented on OPENJPA-160: -------------------------------------- So here is a thought. Basically this benchmark is performing 5 interactions with the database doing a simple FBPK in this scenario. Thus the tps numbers above really need to be multiplied by 5 to get the total number of times we pass into the JPA code base. So that really means that we are doing 7000 invocations per second spread across 50 runtime threads in the appserver. This could lead to a heck of a lot of contention on any single sync point which is what we saw in the earlier improvements we worked on with Kevin and company. Now someone can correct me if I am wrong here but isnt the JVM specification clear that when initializing a class the class object must be synchronized on. Thus possibly making this the single most contended point in the codebase now that we have removed all the other sync points in the earlier performance work? We are doing CPU sampling based profiling to cut overhead to a minimum so that would show something like this as a hotspot I would think as the actually sync point is in C code and happens under the newintsance method. Anyway just throwing that out there for a reason this could be happening. I am still baffled. Need to think about a test case to prove this as well. > Reuse BrokerImpl objects > ------------------------ > > Key: OPENJPA-160 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-160 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Michael Dick > Assigned To: Patrick Linskey > Attachments: newprofile.jpg, openjpa-160-patch.txt, openjpa-160-patch.txt, openjpa-160-patch.txt, openjpa-160-patch.txt, perf2.jpg, perf3.jpg, profile_explicitclass.jpg > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

by Harold Friend (not related to Judge Hugo Friend)
Miguel Tejada has been sentenced to one year probation for misleading Congress. Tejada admitted he withheld information about an ex-teammate's use of performance enhancing drugs when congressional investigators questioned him. He was not under oath, but he was advised that it was important to be truthful. Talking to reporters after he learned of the sentence, Miguel said he was looking forward to playing baseball in 2009.
Buck Weaver Thought Eddie Cicotte's Plan Was Crazy
Buck Weaver was the third baseman for the 1919 American League Champion White Sox. In the World Series, Weaver hit .324 and played errorless ball. Before the Series began, pitcher Eddie Cicotte asked Weaver if he "wanted to get into something good.-- fixing the World Series." Buck Weaver exploded. "You're crazy. That can't be done."
Buck Weaver, Like Miguel Tejada, Kept Quiet
Buck Weaver was not among those who fixed the 1919 World Series, but like Miguel Tejada, he withheld information. Weaver had knowledge of the fix and failed to report it to team or league officials. It has been documented that Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey had learned of a possible fix either just before the Series started or if not then, certainly after the first game. Mr. Comiskey said nothing. The White Sox team was confronted with rumors of a fix either before the second game, and certainly no later than the beginning of the third.
Buck Weaver Was Banned From Baseball Forever
Buck Weaver never received any money from those who fixed the World Series. He never agreed to be part of the plot. He played an outstanding Series. In 1921, Buck Weaver was banished from baseball for life. All his appeals for reinstatement were refused, and he was still banned when he passed away in 1956.
Gerald Gems, a Chicago sports historian, tried to explain Weaver's silence by claiming it was related to social class. Weaver had a working class background where the system of honor was (and still is) that an individual does NOT rat on his or her buddies. Weaver considered more honorable to remain silent than to turn in his teammates. It was similar to today's "don't snitch" philosophy.
Judge Hugo Friend Would NOT Allow a Weaver Conviction
Buck Weaver requested a separate trial, but his request was refused and he was one of the eight White Sox players tried before judge Hugo Friend, who said that he would NOT allow a conviction to stand against Buck if the jury ruled that way. All eight players were found not guilty, but recently appointed baseball commissioner Landis released a statement that included the following: "...no player who sits in conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamblers where the ways and means of throwing games are discussed and does not promptly tell the club about it will ever play professional baseball."
Buck Weaver and Miguel Tejada
There is no question that Buck Weaver received a raw deal. He should have been suspended for a specified time period, but not banned from baseball for life. Miguel Tejada's case is similar to Weaver's and Tejada has received a deal that is beyond fair. What would have occurred if the Tejada case had occurred in 1919, and the Weaver case had happened today?

Soon after hitting the Indian smartphone arena with the Xperia Z and ZL, Sony has announced the launch of another handset - Xperia SP at Rs 27,490. It seems like the Japanese tech giant is highly concentrating on the Indian market in order to increase its smartphone market share.
The Xperia SP was announced alongside Xperia L and the former is considered the younger kin of Xperia Z as it boasts almost similar looks and a lesser price tag.
Xperia SP was launched with a price tag of Rs 27,490, but online retailer site Infibeam has listed the handset for pre-order at a discounted price of Rs 25,490. The listing claims that the Xperia SP will be released on April 23, 2013 and that it will be shipped in 2 to 3 days from the date of release.
To remind of specs, Xperia SP packs a 4.6 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technology, 1.7GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, 8MP rear camera with autofocus and Exmor RS technology, VGA front camera for video calling, 8GB internal storage, micro SD card slot supporting up to 32GB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS with A-GPS, NFC and a 2,370 mAh battery.

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, May 26 (Reuters) - Oil and Natural Gas Corp, India's biggest oil explorer, reported on Thursday a surprise 12 percent rise in fourth-quarter net profit, helped by a one-off gain.
Net profit on a standalone basis was 44.16 billion rupees ($657.5 million) for the three months to March 31, compared with 39.35 billion rupees a year earlier, the state-run company said in a regulatory filing.
Analysts on average had expected a net profit of 28.17 billion rupees, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.
ONGC said it partly reversed a previously-taken charge, leading to a one-off gain of 8.52 billion rupees in the fourth quarter.

Hydebank inmates at war over lucrative prescription drug trade
Ulster's prison system is in meltdown.
Today the Sunday World lifts the lid on a penal system in crisis, awash with drugs, violence and the scourge of corruption.
In a week when a government commissioned report has labelled maximum security prison Maghaberry Europe's most dangerous, we reveal the living hell inside Northern Ireland's Young Offenders' Centre.
Sources inside the jail in south Belfast say two highly dangerous criminals have come to blows recently as they try to take control of the lucrative drugs racket which once source claims is worth up to £5,000 a week.
Meanwhile inmates, including many who are extremely vulnerable, have been caught up in the crossfire as staff struggle to cope.
"Hydebank is ready to explode and the staff have turned a blind eye to it all," said one insider.
"While the centre is definitely doing some good rehabilitation programmes for some inmates, the vast majority are left to fend for themselves. "
Sources have told us prison staff are constantly under pressure to smuggle drugs into the prison.
"Drugs are more easily available than ever before and the Prison Service is losing control of the place – someone is going to be killed."
The Prison Service has denied the allegations but it comes in the wake of a damning report into HMP Maghaberry.
That report painted a picture of a Prison Service in total crisis despite them having imposed major reforms in the last three years.
But today we lift the lid on the jail, which prison chiefs recently renamed Hydebank Wood College.
Jail sources say two men – 20-year-old Casey Morgan from Co Down and 22-year-old Michael Cassidy – are at war with each other over the sale of prescription drugs.
The pair have come to blows on numerous occasions and Cassidy is understood to have come out on top.
Michael Cassidy
Cassidy was jailed for three years in January 2014 and ordered to serve 20 months in Hydebank after he was involved in a bizarre drink and drug-fuelled armed robbery at a Belfast off-licence.
Cassidy, from the Lower Ormeau area of Belfast, robbed the off-licence armed with a baseball and with a pink pillow case over this head.
Cassidy robs an off licence with a pillow case over his head
He has two convictions for possession of cannabis as well as other convictions for theft and receiving stolen goods.
His rival Casey Morgan has racked up almost 60 convictions and when he went on the run to Donegal in 2013 authorities described him as one of the country's most violent high-risk teens .
Morgan was sentenced to three years in a young offender's institution with a five years post-release licence after an attempted robbery of a chemist in Downpatrick, Co Down, on November 24, 2008.
Casey Morgan
He covered his face with a scarf and held a knife up to the throat of a female member of staff as he demanded drugs and money.
Morgan made threats to kill the female staff member but fled the scene when he was told the shop safe worked on a time-delay mechanism.
In 2013 he went on the run with convicted rapist John McCabe and the pair were caught by gardai living in a caravan in Burtonport.
"Cassidy has become the main man in Hydebank recently because others have either been released or transferred to Maghaberry for bad behaviour.
"He has a little gang of five or six pals who work alongside him selling the drugs and he has prison officers who are bringing them in.
"It mostly prescription medication like Lyrica painkillers – which are known as Budweiser's because they make you feel drunk.
"That's the main drug inside the jail that everyone wants to take but they also sell Valium, diazepam and lot of legal highs.
"Morgan has also been doing his own deals which have led to tension with Cassidy. Cassidy gave him a beating in the education wing not that long ago."
Sources inside the jail say severe staff shortages caused by massive cutbacks and sickness have meant the authorities have not been able to get a grip on the situation.
The Prison Service recently restructured itself under Director General Sue McAllister who was tasked to make the prisons more streamline – including paying off prison staff and replacing them with new officers on half the pay.
As previously reported paying these so-called 'yellow-pack' officers a starting salary of just over £18,000 has led to major problems throughout all the prisons.
"You have these officers getting paid just £18,000 and many of them are living in working-class estates and can easily be intimidated or got at.
"I know of two officers who started making a few quid by bringing in pornography DVDs and mobile phones, it was inevitable they would come under pressure to smuggle drugs.
"It's really easy because there aren't enough staff to carry out the necessary searches."
But the drug gangs are also involved in bullying vulnerable inmates into handing over genuine medication or making them ask for more from the prison doctors.
And the drug problem is leading to a rise in attempted suicides and assaults.
"You've got young lads who are taking these drugs and then they don't have the money to pay so they are getting attacked and warned to make sure they get someone on the outside to pay their bill," says another source.
"There have been a lot of people who have attempted suicide, have had to be cut down or have taken overdoses.
"On top fop that there have been loads of fights and really nasty attacks including scaldings. They get a flask of boiling water and put sugar into it so when they chuck it over you it will stick to your skin.
"Once they know you are vulnerable they will target you for medication or to hide drugs in your cell. It's a terrible place to be."
Sources say getting drugs into the jail is not difficult and repeat offenders who are going to be sentenced are stocking up with pills before they go to court.
"The drug abuse and smuggling is being ignored because they are desperate to protect the public view of the prison.
"They even changed it's name to college for God's sake. There are good schemes and the governor has plenty of people out working but it's for the minority.
"There are civilian staff who are working in there who are really concerned about what's going on."
Hydebank was heavily criticised by a prison report in 2012 after two young inmates committed suicide on the same day and an investigation uncovered a shocking culture of bullying.
The Prison Service refused to comment except to say they refuted the allegations.

In the history of the Bayou District, teams from Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes have shared the league with teams from the New Orleans metro area, teams from the River Parishes and teams from other regions of the state.
But this season, for the first time, two teams from out west are in the Bayou District.
New Iberia and Westgate will join Central Lafourche, H.L. Bourgeois, South Lafourche, Terrebonne, Thibodaux and South Lafourche to form district 7-5A this season.
For the coaches in the bayou area, Westgate, which has been to the Class 5A semifinals three of the past four seasons, and New Iberia, which went 9-3 last year and made the second round of the playoffs, have been the talk of the preseason.
"The district is as good as it has been in a while," Terrebonne coach Gary Hill said. "The last few seasons, there have been a lot of competitive ballgames, but Westgate made the semifinals three of the last four years. And throw in New Iberia, who has been to the playoffs three of the last four years and won a playoff game last year, and you are adding two quality football teams to a very competitive district."
Westgate was 8-5 last year and fell to West Monroe in the Class 5A semifinals. The Tigers return 12 starters with highly recruited senior D'Nerius Antoine (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) taking over at quarterback.
Antoine played running back and safety last year and will be back in the Tigers defensive backfield again this season.
"It's going to be different for us. We haven't played down there, and I'm not real familiar with it," Westgate coach Brian Fine said. "It will be interesting, and I am curious to see what it's like. We are excited to get started."
Westgate senior Duvall Jackson, a 6-2, 225-pound defensive end is also highly recruiting and will be one of the anchors of the Tigers defense.
New Iberia returns six starters off a 9-3 team and has four highly recruited seniors in kicker Colby Delahoussaye and receivers LaMarcus Allen and Kemory Deal and receiver/ quarterback Javonte Johnson.
Terrebonne, the district champion last year at 10-2 and 6-0 in league play, has seven players back after losing some key seniors off a team that made the second round of the playoffs.
South Lafourche went 4-6 last season and missed the postseason along with in H.L. Bourgeois, Central Lafourche and Thibodaux, which all have new coaches.
Thibodaux does has a marquee player to watch in linebacker Trey Granier, an LSU commitment.
Granier is considered to be among the nation's top linebacker prospects.
"You add in some coaching changes at H.L. Bourgeois (Ben Powell), Central Lafourche (Travis Douglas) and Thibodaux (Chris Dugas), and those teams are going to be full of high energy and high expectations," Hill said. "With some young guys going in there to try and make a difference, I think it's going to be an interesting season for a lot of teams."
While District 7-5A will provide teams with some unfamiliar opponents, the teams in District 8-4A should be pretty familiar with one another.
Assumption and South Terrebonne drop down to the 4A ranks from 5A last season and join Morgan City, Ellender and Vandebilt Catholic in 8-4A. The teams have shared the district in past seasons.
Assumption (16 returners) and South Terrebonne (14 returners) have the most starters back after both teams won seven games in Class 5A last season.
Senior Hunter Gauthreaux returns as the Mustangs quarterback, and he has two running backs and two receivers back on offense, while the Assumption defense returns nine starters.
At South Terrebonne, senior quarterback Trevon Smith leads the offense and every member of the offensive line is back, along with two of the team's top three linebackers from last year.
Vandebilt, coming off an 8-3 season and a playoff win over McKinley, returns a 1,300-yard rusher, junior Elijah McGuire, and a two-time all-state linebacker in senior Seth Ward.
Former LSU backup fullback Brandon Nowlin, a member of the 2003 BCS national title team and a 2000 graduate of Catholic High of Baton Rouge, enters his second year at Morgan City after taking over the program on the day of the 2010 season-opening jamboree.
The Tigers haven't been to the playoffs since 1998, something Nowlin said he hopes to soon change. He has eight returning players back off a 2-8 team.
Another coach in the district with Baton Rouge ties is 1981 Tara High graduate Terry Washington, who is in his first year as Ellender's coach.
The former Southern football and track standout has had head coaching stints at Sarah Reed, Jeanerette and Scotlandville.
Ellender is coming off back-to-back 0-10 seasons.

|[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-8) Make SDK build with Maven/Flexmojos and deploy release and snapshot artifacts to the Apache Maven repository

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13218131#comment-13218131 ] Remi Patriarche commented on FLEX-8: ------------------------------------ I completely agree with Alex. I'm working for a public french institution in the educational domain. We currently use Flex 3.6 et 4.5.1 (yes we are not late) in many GUIs on Java 6 backends. Of course we also use Maven to build all these apps. The recent and very sudden changes from Adobe concerning Flex have discredited the technology in the eyes of important policy makers in our organization. Of course as a developper I want to continue to use Flex which is a very productive RIA technology. In despite of some disagreements with its leader, the plugin FlexMojos allowed us to integrate our Flex apps in our industrial processes. Many people are waiting for the reaction of the Apache-Flex community about the Maven issue because it's an absolute necessity for all teams which are working with Java backends. To be very honnest I think that Flex will not survive in the entreprise without a better Maven support. > Make SDK build with Maven/Flexmojos and deploy release and snapshot artifacts to the Apache Maven repository > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLEX-8 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-8 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: Story > Reporter: Espen Skogen > Assignee: Espen Skogen > Time Spent: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Sort servers by response time
Mar 21st
Posted by admin in PowerShell
Last week I received very nice task from my boss. To check if it's possible to receive some data from our primary SCCM servers around the world. I created a script and then wanted to ran it. As it was pretty important task he wanted to know results "on the fly". I exported values from every server to separate CSV file and store it to our share. Unfortunately on the list were also servers from not-so-well-connected locations (e.g. some sites in Africa). I decided to start from fastest connection to slowest.
Note: We don't have PowerShell remoting enabled on the servers so it was not possible to use Invoke-Command – just for clarification.
I decided to ping servers on my list (loaded to TXT file) and then sort it based on response time. You can see the idea here:
PS C:\> Test-Connection FarComputer, MyComputer, AnyComputer -Count 1 | ft Address, ResponseTime -AutoSize
Address ResponseTime
––––––– ––––––––––––
MyComputer 0
AnyComputer 2
FarComputer 211
You catch it, right? Now I just need to sort it via ResponseTime and pass it down the pipeline. In my final solution I didn't use just one ping, I used standard four so I added hashtable to store the sum of ResponseTimes per server and then sorted this hashtable.
My final solution then was:
PS C:\> $h=@{}
PS C:\> Get-Content .\servers.txt |% { Test-Connection $_ } |%
>> { $h[$_.Address] = $h[$_.Address] += $_.ResponseTime }
PS C:\> $h.GetEnumerator() | Sort Value | Select Name | MyFunctionHere $_
ResponseTimes are stored in hashtable (see the second line of code) and then sorted by value. That sorted list is then used as input to my function which processes all servers one by one and saves the data as requested.
Note: It "can't" happen but if it's not able to ping some server, that one will not be included in hashtable.

Today we preview two Smartphones from 2 of India"s most trusted Smartphone makers- LG and HTC mobile. The models under comparison are the HTC Sensation and the LG Thrill. Both the phones are high end top of the line phones that offers pretty much everything any user would expect from a Smartphone today. A clear winner of the two might be difficult to obtain but maybe the stats will help to figure out one.
When comparing the looks, both the HTC Sensation and the LG Thrill are sleek and trendy phones that have been ergonomically styled. The HTC Sensation and the LG Thrill has the same display of 4.3 inches. So both the phones are suited for good visual content experiences. The LG Thrill however has a 3D display.
The HTC Sensation rear camera is of 8 Mega Pixels. This allows high definition video recording. The LG Thrill also offers 1080p high definition video recording but it has a lower pixel rating of 5 Mega Pixels. The HTC Sensation scores in this department as it can take higher resolution pictures and comparatively it offers better quality video recording in HD. The HTC Sensation and the LG Thrill have Digital zoom and Autofocus. Both the models have HDMI out port that allows for HD playback on big screen televisions.
The HTC Sensation and LG Thrill models are powered by superfast processors and both run Android Operating System. However the HTC Sensation runs on a newer version i.e. 2.3 Gingerbread compared to the LG Thrill"s 2.2 Froyo. Thus the HTC Sensation has a slighter edge in performance and speed because the Froyo OS does have some issues when it comes to providing seamless multi tasking environment.
Both the phones have the latest in connectivity and communications technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, high speed 3G and even support for 4G networks.
The pricing of the phones too are in similar fashion as the HTC Sensation and the LG Thrill are priced at around Rs 35,000. So it is difficult to pick a clear winner but due to certain small features such as camera and slightly faster performance, the HTC Sensation is a tad better than the LG Thrill, but it was a close call.

The Slaves' Gamble: Choosing Sides in the War of 1812
NOOK Book(eBook)
Images of American slavery conjure up cotton plantations and African American slaves locked in bondage until the Civil War. Yet early on in the nineteenth century the state of slavery was very different, and the political vicissitudes of the young nation offered diverse possibilities to slaves. In the century's first two decades, the nation waged war against Britain, Spain, and various Indian tribes. Slaves played a role in the military operations, and the different sides viewed them as a potential source of manpower. While surprising numbers did assist the Americans, the wars created opportunities for slaves to find freedom among the Redcoats, the Spaniards, or the Indians. Author Gene Smith draws on a decade of original research and his curatorial work at the Fort Worth Museum in this fascinating and original narrative history. The way the young nation responded sealed the fate of slaves for the next half century until the Civil War. This drama sheds light on an extraordinary yet little known chapter in the dark saga of American history.

Joey Logano claimed his first pole position of the season in qualifying for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver set a lap of 50.112 seconds at an average speed of 179.598 mph, the fastest of the week and also a track record, thanks to the new pavement laid around the 2.5-mile tri-oval.
Logano ran 18th in the order and surprisingly his lap, which was slightly faster than his best from final practice, stood unbeaten for most the session as most of the fastest drivers from Friday could not replicate their speed on Saturday, having tested extensively at the track since Wednesday.
"I had a great car, [crew chef] Jason [Ratcliff] has done a great job all week being here," said Logano after earning his fourth career pole, and his second at Pocono.
"It's cool to get a pole here and get a new track record too, so that's really neat. Hopefully that holds up for a while. I felt like I left a little bit out there too, so I'm excited to start this thing and hopefully bring home a 'big W' [win]."
Roush Fenway's Carl Edwards, who had been second to Logano in Friday's final session, was around two tenths off his practice speed but still set a lap good enough for second after struggling earlier in the week.
Last year's Brickyard 400 winner Paul Menard was third and best Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing while Kyle Busch, seemingly more at ease than ever at Pocono, was fourth fastest ahead of his JGR team-mate Denny Hamlin, a four-time winner at the venue.
Points leader Greg Biffle ended up 13th right ahead of his Roush team-mate Matt Kenseth and BK Racing's Landon Cassill, the first to break into the 50-second bracket during the session.
Last week's winner Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick) had a surprisingly poor effort, finishing only 24th in one of his worst qualifying results of the season thus far.
Mike Bliss was the fastest of the non-guaranteed drivers in 28th, while David Stremme failed to make the field.
The session suffered a slight delay early on as officials had to work on cleaning a slick track, Scott Riggs having to run for a second time as it was deemed that conditions compromised his first qualifying attempt.

text: 28 May 2001 Speaking up for Scotland Sign up for our weekly email * In his absurd Jock-baiting "essay" ("Scotland returns to the Dark Ages", 21 May), Tim Luckhurst first listed at length his progressive and correct views on abortion, education, Section 28, proportional representation, Catholic cardinals and fox-hunting, and then moaned that considerable sections of the Scottish electorate, having a regrettable "pre-modern small-town mentality", do not fall in with those views. So far so good. A similar article could have been written any time in the past 200 years about provincial benightedness (Luckhurst has a swipe also at the Irish). But his main point is that the Scottish Parliament should be abolished because all the above shows it is "moving in the wrong direction"! I presume he has heard of the progressive idea of democracy. Or does he think that it would be better if the whole world was governed from Islington? Walter StannersCambridge Scotland is depopulating slowly. That is because control of Scotland's economy from London makes Scotland a poor country with insufficient jobs for well-educated youngsters. It is not "Dutch hippies" who have taken over the Highlands but middle-class English people who are driving out the young Gaels, who can get neither jobs nor houses, and consequently are destroying Scotland's Gaelic language and culture.

Walt Whitman
Born in Huntington, Long Island. He was self taught and founded the weekly newspaper called the Long Islander. He also finally got his copywrite for Leaves of Grass in 1855. He then traveled to Washington, D.C. To care for his brother who had wounded in the war. He died march 26, 1892 whitman was buried in a tomb he designed in Harleigh Cemetery.
Most of Whitmans poems are free verse, and he was very enthusiastic in his writing themes. He mainly writes about the cycle of life and death. He often writes in a slang or old-fashioned grammar. He most famous poem are "O' Captain, my Captain", "Leaves of Grass" and "Song of Myself".
"O' Captain, My Captain" By: Walt Whitman, 1891
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! The arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won; Exult O shores, and ring O bells! But I with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
Walt Whitman pays tribute to Abraham Lincoln in "O Captain! My Captain!" The poem takes the form of an ode, characterized by sustained noble sentiment and appropriate dignity of style, and as with most odes begins with an apostrophe. The fallen captain, to whom the speaker alludes is Abraham Lincoln. The poem is an extended metaphor: Lincoln is the captain who has "fallen cold and dead," having been assassinated shortly after the Civil War had ended; the "fearful trip" is the Civil War; "the prize we sought" is the preservation of the Union, something which both Whitman and Lincoln felt was the supreme reason for fighting the war; "the ship" is the United States.
The poet's grief is caused by the celebrations of victory and sadnesses of death. The poet recognizes the importance of victory, calling out "Exult O shores, and ring O bells!", but his "mournful tread" prevents him from truly taking part in the festivities. The image of the dead captain, "O heart! heart! heart! O bleeding drops of red", haunts the poem and the reader is constantly reminded that he has "fallen cold and dead."

Closed consultation
Renewable Heat Incentive: support for Biomass-Combined Heat and Power
- From:
- Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
- Part of:
- Low carbon technologies
- Published:

We are analysing your feedback
Visit this page again soon to download the outcome to this public feedback.
This consultation ran from
This consultation concerns proposals for changes to the support for biomass-Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant offered under the RHI scheme.
Consultation description
In August 2016 the government amended the terms of support for biomass-CHP under the RHI to introduce a power efficiency requirement of 20%. From then on, new plant with a power efficiency of less than 20% would receive a scaled back level of support. A proportion of their eligible heat use would be supported under the biomass-CHP tariff, with the remainder supported under the biomass tariff. From 1 January 2017 this requirement was relaxed to a 10% power efficiency requirement for a transitional period.
This consultation proposes a return to a 20% power efficiency requirement for new plant, and seeks stakeholder views on this proposal.

Perfect Pizza Dough
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 40mins
Recipe by Hayden Star
This easy recipe makes a stretchy pizza dough, and with the optional ingredients... makes the absolute BEST garlic breadsticks.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 5 -6 cups all-purpose flour
- garlic powder
- oregano
Directions See How It's Made
- Dissolve yeast and honey in the warm water, stirring gently with a wooden spoon. *HINT* Whenever I am activating the yeast in warm water -- I use a metal (1st choice) or glass bowl. Before adding anything into the bowl, I invert it in the sink and let hot water run over the OUTSIDE of the entire bowl for a minute or two. This way the bowl is already warm when you place the warm water and yeast into it, so that none of the warmth from the water is going to heat the bowl instead of the yeast! :)
- Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Sift together the flour and salt. Sometimes I will also sift in some additional spices to make an herbed pizza crust. Oregano, garlic powder, basil, and rosemary are some nice additions.
- Add to the wet mixture and knead for approx 10 minutes Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place, until double - about 1 hour.
- Punch down, knead briefly to let the air bubbles out. Top with whatever you like and bake at 425ºF for approx 20 minutes.
- This recipe also makes great breadsticks. Follow same directions as above - when adding the flour and salt, add garlic powder and oregano. Let rise same as above. When ready to bake, roll into strips and twist 3 or 4 times. Lay on a greased breadstick pan or cookie sheet. Brush generously with egg white and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 425ºF for approximately 5 minutes or until cooked through. Enjoy!

This is so disappointing.
Sometimes I feel that when voting for a candidate I'm picking the lesser of two evils.
Perhaps picking TV news is like picking the less-worse station or news show? KWIM?

You do not have to feel like that any more, thanks to Ron Paul!

The overall goal of this proposal is to understand how dysregulated MUC5B results in the development of fibroproliferative lung disease. This approach is based on two recent advances. First, we have discovered that MUC5B is the strongest risk factor, genetic and otherwise, for familial and sporadic forms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The MUC5B promoter SNP rs35705950 has been validated as a risk variant for IPF in six independent studies (1-6), is the strongest known risk factor for the development of both familial and sporadic forms of IPF (odds ratio H 4-8 per allele), and represents a risk variant observed in at least half of the cases of either familial or sporadic IPF Although our GWAS identified 3 established (TERC, TERT, and MUC5B) and 7 novel pulmonary fibrosis loci (5), the MUC5B promoter SNP remained the strongest genetic signal associated with pulmonary fibrosis (OR=4.51 [95%CI=3.91-5.21];P = 7.21x10-95), and subsequent analyses indicate that this SNP accounts for ~39% of the risk of developing IPF. Second, our findings suggest that MUC5B appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of IPF. IPF patients have significantly more MUC5B gene expression than unaffected subjects (1), the MUC5B promoter SNP is associated with enhanced MUC5B expression in both unaffected subjects (1) and patients with IPF (7), MUC5B message and protein are expressed in the pathologic lesions of IPF (1, 8), and we have recently found that Muc5b deficient mice are resistant to both bleomycin and asbestos models of fibroproliferation (see preliminary data). Based on these observations, we speculate that the MUC5B promoter SNP places individuals at risk of developing IPF via chronic mucus hypersecretion and accumulation in the peripheral airspace that impairs mucocilliary transport, results in mucus adhesion in the bronchoalveolar region, and consequently induces and potentiates chronic inflammation and injury (1, 10). We have engineered an efficient, tiered approach to understand how dysregulated MUC5B results in the development of fibroproliferative lung disease. While the R21 phase of the proposal will use an in vitro human cell-derived system to explore basic biological responses to MUC5B, the R33 phase of the proposal will test these findings in three established strains of mice (CCSP-Muc5bTg, SPC-Muc5bTg, and Muc5b-/- mice). Based on what is known about IPF and MUC5B, we hypothesize that chronic mucus hypersecretion impairs mucociliary transport and results in persistent cell injury causing impaired host defense and excessive repair and leading to the development of fibroproliferative lung disease.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a major public health problem, there are no known treatments to prolong life, and the etiology and mechanisms remain obscure. Patients with IPF have a median survival of 2-3 years. The overall goal of this proposal is to understand how dysregulated MUC5B results in the development of fibroproliferative lung disease.
