For many foodservice operators, the holiday season is one of the most profitable times of the year.
Types: Cook-chill equipment includes cook tanks, standalone refrigeration units, blast chillers and large-batch production systems that utilize jacketed kettles, bagging and pumping stations, and tumble chillers. Tanks and kettles cook products, which staff transfer into plastic bags through mobile pumping stations. Then, staff place filled bags into tumble chillers that rapidly cool products to safe holding temperatures by immersing them in cold water. Another method of rapidly bringing cooked products to safe holding temperatures is by loading them into shallow pans and placing them in a blast chiller.
Capacities/Footprints: Compact-model blast chiller/freezers improve efficiency and food safety in smaller foodservice operations. Features include enclosed, air-cooled condensers and removable, adjustable shelving that accepts standard steam table pans and grids. Small stand-alone quick-chill units are available starting with a three-tray (12" x 20") capacity configuration, while large batch-cooking kettles can produce up to 400 gals. of product.
Energy Source(s): Electro-mechanical equipment generally requires at least 230 volts. Kettles may be gas-heated.
Standard Features: Touch-pads controls generally come with easy-to-understand digital displays, automatic holding modes, and list temperature displays in °F. or °C. Self-contained evaporation eliminates the need for drains or attachments. De-icing features remove ice from evaporators quickly, while self-diagnostic systems identify service requirements. Self-closing doors with magnetic seals open beyond 90 ° for more convenient loading and unloading. Blast chillers with two independent cooling compartments give staff more flexibility when preparing cook-chill menus and they provide greater energy efficiency, as smaller amounts of food can be chilled in a single compartment without cooling an entire unit. Other standard features include microprocessor cycle controls and continuous digital readouts of internal equipment temperatures and/or probes providing internal temperatures of food products being processed.
New Features/Technology/Options: Advances in cook-chill technology offer cost-savings while delivering the fresh taste and quality of just-cooked food. One maker produces a kettle with a retractable agitator to allow for a pinned shaft. The design improves the flavor and texture of cooked foods by providing better agitation of foods. The redesigned agitator also helps facilitate cleaning of the kettle. Additionally, a lightweight, air-operated drop-down valve is now on the market and promises greater ease of use. Replacement parts are said to be a fraction of the cost of traditional designs. A multi-capacity tumbler chiller, available in 100-, 200- and 300-gal. capacities, allows operators to upgrade production as menus change without having to purchase another unit.
Key Kitchen Applications: Cook-chill equipment rapidly cools cooked food for safe holding in cold storage over extended time periods. The equipment prepares, packages and safely chills hundreds of meals for cold storage vs. cook-serve systems, which reduce labor costs and production times. Central kitchen-based cook-chill preparation allows better control over raw ingredients' quality and easier monitoring of proper ingredient handling procedures. Large-batch kettle cooking helps to ensure consistency.
Purchasing Guidelines: Since cook-chill systems allow for longer storage of foods in contrast to cooking menu items and holding pre-portioned amounts in a standard refrigerator or freezer, items can be produced in larger batches for multiple service points or customer groups. This reduces the number of batches that need to be prepared during any given period, which, in turn, saves labor.
Maintenance Requirements: Staff must thoroughly clean and sanitize kettles after every production cycle. Operators should look for stainless-steel construction and high-quality equipment designed with as few seams, tight corners and crevasses as possible, as these units will facilitate easy cleaning and thorough sanitation. Pumps and compressors require professional maintenance.
Food Safety & Sanitation Essentials: Using cook-chill equipment, the key to safe, extended storage of foods is very rapid cooling, which takes cooked products through the bacterial growth danger zone, typically 140 °F. to 41 °F. Chilling and holding equipment can cool food products from production temperatures down to 40 °F. and below, typically in 90 minutes to two hours, which is essential for food safety following HACCP guidelines.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How I did it: I went to Spain and was forced to eat raw salmon as well as cold cut up pieces of octopus.
I am really scared of menudo right now.
Maybe I will eat it when I am in Mexico this summer.
I am sure I will eat something weird while I'm there.

Australis Cairns Beach Resort Guest Reviews (104)
Great location 10K north of Cairns. Right by a quiet beach. Big rooms and comfortable beds Good for cafe and shops. Beach cafe is perfect for Breakfast.
Geordie John wrote on November 16, 2012
Good points: Close to airport and only minutes from Skyrail and shopping centre (by car). Lovely gardens Standard room had everything we needed for three day stay Things to watch out for: Ask for a first or second floor room as 'ground floor' rooms got little sunlight due to height of shrubs / bushes in the beautifully maintained gardens. Undergrowth also meant we did not use balcony as mosquitos were abundant Without a car this would be difficult to get too / from and some tours do not pickup from Holloway Beach

Interchange Fees Cost Retailers on Returns
NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- Debit card interchange fees will decrease Oct. 1. This is good news for merchants who have long complained that the interchange fee, also known as a swipe fee, was too high and cut into their profits. The new regulations are helpful, but the interchange fee will continue to be a complicated and costly issue between retailers, banks and credit card processors.
Consumers give little thought to the interchange fee charged every time they swipe their debit or credit card, but the fee can take a large bite out of a retailer's profit. The interchange fee averages 44 cents per transaction; the reduced fee will be 21 cents plus an additional amount to cover losses from fraud.
|Swipe fee rules don't account for returned items, but many merchants are reluctant to make up for it by charging restocking fees that could anger customers.
This will save retailers a lot of money, but the new ruling did not address what happens to the interchange fee if a debit or credit card purchase is returned. Even though the merchant refunds the full purchase price to the consumer when an item is returned, the retailer may take a loss on the transaction because card processing charges are not refunded to the retailer when a transaction is reversed. Some processors may even charge a second interchange fee when an item is returned.
Returns and chargebacks are costly and a retailer with a high percentage of chargebacks can pay a higher fee.The easiest way for merchants to recover this fee is to charge customers a return or restocking fee, but many merchants are reluctant to charge this restocking fee because it could stir anger in their customers. -- Reported by Bill Hardekopf of LowCards.com.

Top 10 Things in Alghero on a Short Break
Grotta del Nettuno
The Grotta del Nettuno is the most famous cave in the Capo Caccia headland. This cave can be accessed either by boat, or by climbing down a steep staircase, which is made up of 656 stone steps down the side of the cliff.
This staircase is known as escala del cabirol. Inside the cave is the La Marmora Lake, this vast internal salt lake is 120 meters long and lies on the same level as the sea.
There are several impressive chambers with stalagmites and stalactite formations.
The Coast Road between Alghero and Bosa
This road is situated between Alghero and Boas and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and shoreline. There are dramatic sheer cliffs, which drop down to the sea. The hills of magnificently shaped rocks change colour depending on the reflections of the sun. The road lies between an unspoilt environment and has stretches, which are completely uninhabited. These characteristics are unique to Sardinia and well worth the journey.
Visit www.hallosardinia.com for more information
The Palmavera Nuraghe
The architecture and layout of the complex is exceptionally built especially due to the central tower of an elliptical bastion, which was added, and the other tower, which animates the inner courtyard. The Palmavera Nuraghe was completes during various stages ranging from the 1st century to about the 8th century.
Interested? www.hallosardinia.com
The Necropolis of Santu Pedru
There is a 15-meter long corridor, which leads to a large quadrangular chamber that allows access to the other cells. The Necropolis of Santu Pedru is one of the most interesting Necropolises on the island.
See www.hallosardinia.com
Mare Nostrum Aquarium
This aquarium has a permanent exhibition of marine and fresh water fauna. There are various documents that reveal aquatic environments of the Mediterranean Sea. Various displays of fish and invertebrates are on offer, and this is a great place to experience the wonders that the Mediterranean has to offer.
For info go to: www.hallosardinia.com
Capo Caccia
The promontory of Capo Caccia has towering limestone headlands with sheer cliffs that drop vertically down to the sea, which lies hundreds of meters below. The whole area of Capo Caccia has been declared a natural reserve and is protected by conservation laws. There are several interesting species of animals and plants, which call the promontory home. The hills, which rise to a height of 326 meters, are the perfect place for falcons and griffins to nest.

Museo Diocesano dellArte Sacra
This museum has six sections that include silver ornaments, cabinetwork, wood sculptures, stonework, bronze statues and paintings all dedicated to sacred Art. The museum is located at P.zz Dunomo.

Franciscan Monks founded the Misericordia Church in 1508. There is a spectacular crucifix that is from the 1600 and is an awesome example of Spanish art.
For details visit www.hallosardinia.com
The Anghelu Ruju Necropoli
The Anghelu Ruju Necropoli is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean and dates back to the 3rd century. The Necropolis was used as a burial place for the locals who lived from fishing and agriculture in the area. The evolution of the architectural periods is depicted with the various types of tombs, which have been discovered at the Necropolis. The historic periods of these tombs are evident by the various shapes and designs of the inner chambers. Paintings of doors, columns, cupels and bulls horns decorate the tombs, which are in homage to Taurus, the guardian of the dead.
For details view www.hallosardinia.com
The Beach of Argentiera
Argentiera is a wild and barren stretch of coastline, which is particularly awesome because of the abandoned mining village located nearby. The grey sandy beach has an exceptional view of the wooden skeleton of the mineral washery and entrances to several mine pits, which are immersed in the surrounding countryside.
Plenty of fish and lobsters can be found at this spectacular beach as well as the Corsican gull, which uses the beach as a nesting ground. The beach is perfect for this because of the rocky coastline.

Weekend Listening - Ernest Hancock Destroys Mark Potok Of The Southern Poverty Law CenterSubmitted by vincebodie on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 14:58
Wow, Ernie lays it all on the line in this interview!
- If you're against what the gubmit is doing you're racist! (drones killing innocent people, wars on raw milk and organic farms, spying on everyone via the governet, etc.)
- If you're against using force to create your desired outcome, you're evil!
- If you're against being put on a list for your views, you're obviously guilty!
And so on... GREAT interview Ernie! Potok runs away with his tail between his legs before the interview is even over!

Ernie addresses this post on yesterday's show
In the replay I recalled that Potok hung up right after a break when Ernie exited referring to him as "Mark Polack". Oops. Little thin skinned there Mark?
He also posted the video of the original interview. My favorite part is from 22:50-25:50 when the mics are left open during a commercial break. Ernie gets Potok cornered into admitting that there's no reason to trust this government, then badgers him about what it takes to get on the SPLC "list" so that he can strive to make it. Beautiful!!!
"Any objective criteria that would determine if someone is being bad, you could turn right around and apply to the government... How can you make those comparisons (to so-called "hate groups") and not mention that gang with a flag!
Potok's best lines:
"So, you want:
- "No taxes?" (very few in the Constitution)
- "No standing army?" (prohibited in the Constitution, except during times of war... hmmm...)
- "No service of any kind?" (WTF does that even mean?)
- "No cops on the road?" (Cops, no. Sheriffs, maybe. If they're elected. And voting is voluntary. And oaths to the non-aggression principle are sworn.)
Potok = evil demon from hell.
Along with everyone that's with him in the SPLC.
His buddy
Morris Dees, as well.
Dees is his mommie by his TV lover
oh I am sooo non PC and my TV friends would laugh at this
because they can poke fun at themselves, even most of the
jewish ones!
reality is comedy.
Dees had a schat and out popped potak with a 'pacifier'
in his mouth.
have to send this to a couple of TVs who will love it.
baaad girl Soph! yes!
I understood about half of your post and still laughed my @$$ off! :-D
That's why I love Ernie!
He can have a "civil" chat with an Evil Demon From Hell like Potok, expose him for what he truly is, and send him running back into his dark cave before the interview is even finished! Awesome.
am sending to my list but many are already subscribed to
freedomsphoenix. :)
I'm glad someone listened. The "left" needs to hear this!

Clearwire Mails Letter To Stockholders Stating Proposed Transaction With Sprint Provides Best Strategic Alternative For Clearwire's Minority Stockholders
BELLEVUE, Wash., May 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearwire (Nasdaq:CLWR) today mailed a letter to stockholders regarding its proposed transaction with Sprint Nextel Corporation ("Sprint"). The letter describes the proposed transaction with Sprint as providing the best strategic alternative for Clearwire's minority stockholders, representing fair, attractive and certain value.
The full text of the letter follows:
May 6, 2013On May 21, 2013, Clearwire will hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on the proposed Sprint transaction. Clearwire stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2013, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH SPRINT PROVIDES THE BEST STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVE FOR CLEARWIRE'S MINORITY STOCKHOLDERS AND REPRESENTS FAIR , ATTRACTIVE AND CERTAIN VALUE Clearwire's board of directors has always been committed to considering strategic options and pursuing those that maximize stockholder value. A Special Committee conducted a careful and rigorous review of all options available to Clearwire, with the assistance of independent financial and legal advisors. On the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the Clearwire board has unanimously concluded that the proposed transaction with Sprint is the best strategic alternative for stockholders, representing fair, attractive and certain value, especially in light of the Company's limited alternatives and the well-known constraints of its liquidity position. The proposed $2.97 per share offer price equates to a total payment to Clearwire minority stockholders of approximately $2.2 billion. This transaction represents a total Clearwire enterprise value of approximately $10 billion, including net debt and spectrum lease obligations of $5.5 billion. Additional benefits include:
- Attractive spectrum value of $0.21 / MHz – POP;
- A ~ 130% premium to Clearwire's closing share price on October 10, 2012, just before Sprint publicly acknowledged its merger discussions with SoftBank, and Clearwire was speculated to be part of that transaction;
- A 40% premium to the closing share price on November 20, 2012, the day before Clearwire received Sprint's $2.60 per share initial non-binding indication of interest;
- Higher certainty of value for stockholders compared to other alternatives; and
- Immediate liquidity to stockholders at transaction close.
- Rejected Sprint's initial indication of interest of $2.60;
- Oversaw subsequent negotiations, leading to an increase in the offer price of 14% and other more favorable terms; and
- Received a fairness opinion from its financial advisors that the $2.97 merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company's non-Sprint stockholders.

Mises Daily
Why No Recovery?
No one can argue about the current moribund economy, complete with falling stock prices, nonexistent profits, layoffs, airline bankruptcies, and exploding federal and state budget deficits. People certainly have argued about the cause of this downturn (Democrats and their socialist allies insist that the relatively small, backloaded tax cuts of 2001 are the culprits, while Republicans simply are clueless), including writers on these pages, but few people have accurately pointed out why there is no recovery from the original recession.
Throughout most of the history of the United States, business downturns have been relatively brief—perhaps a year long at most—and recoveries have come soon afterward. Indeed, the last time the economy failed to recover soon after the first crisis of recession was in the early 1930s, when things grew continually worse until the bottom fell out in February 1933, as the nation's unemployment rate climbed to an astounding 28 percent.
While one hopes that this current sorry situation does not metastasize into a full-blown calamity reminiscent of the Great Depression (let me emphasize the word "hopes"), there are some not-so-obvious but important issues that need to be raised if we are to climb out of this economic mess. In these pages, we have covered the obvious problems like the insistence of the Federal Reserve System to keep interest rates artificially low, government intervention to prevent liquidation of malinvested capital, and the explosion of government spending, complete with yet another war.
However, there are a number of hidden landmines that by themselves might not have much negative effect, but combined with the other factors—like this budget-busting, conflict-fueling, capital squandering war—ensure that economic recovery will not occur anytime soon. These barriers to recovery include tariffs and quotas, an increased regulatory burden upon private enterprise, the new emphasis upon the federal government to criminalize ordinary business transactions, and what can only be termed "tort madness."
Economists have pointed out that the Bush Administration's decisions to slap tariffs on imported steel and Canadian lumber have had the perverse effects of killing more jobs than they saved—something that should not surprise our readers. Bruce Bartlett recently noted that the steel tariffs have led to growth in the steel industry, but only at the expense of those industries that use steel.
Furthermore, the increased profits that have come to steel companies have spurred capital investment away from more efficient firms and toward the less-efficient steel makers. In a free-market economy, capital follows its highest returns, and steel numbers right now are up. However, with the government, in effect, helping to rig the market for political purposes, capital flows out of the firms that are damaged by higher steel prices (which means layoffs) into steel.
Thus, this attempt by the Bush Administration to make investment into steel more attractive comes about only by causing the larger economy to contract. The gains to steel firms are far overshadowed by the losses of everyone else, a negative sum situation.
Likewise, the Canadian lumber tariffs are part of a double-whammy to the economy. First, the U.S. Government has set vast amounts of forests off-limits to logging, which drives up lumber prices here and also forces people away from rural communities as their livelihoods are destroyed by regulations promulgated by urban environmentalists and their government allies. Second, after it has helped created the economic inefficiencies within the lumber industry, it compounds the problem by forcing up the price of lumber even higher, thus making it more difficult for new houses to be constructed. Consumers ultimately pay, and the economy contracts even more.
Toward the end of the Clinton Administration, as the economy was in the midst of a nonsustainable boom, the federal government greatly increased the regulatory burdens of business, especially in the environmental and labor areas. Not to completely fault Bill Clinton, this trend had been growing ever since the mid-1980s (following the brief but heady period of deregulation in the early 1980s that was more show than substance), but in the last days of that administration, the new edicts came fast and furious.
At the time, few people noticed, since many regulations were not scheduled to kick in until after Clinton had left office. However, they now are here, including the draconian "arsenic" regulations that if actually followed would force entire western communities either to be abandoned or to bring in nearly all of their potable water from outside sources. From the locking up of huge government tracts of land to prevent logging and mining to strict air pollution laws that drive up the price of fuel, these little time bombs have begun to explode, making it that much more difficult for firms to stay in business and discouraging new investment.
One might liken this situation to a champion boxer who has decided to enjoy the fruits of his labor and not to train properly. Furthermore, he begins to eat those things from which he abstained during training, and engages in other habits and practices that cut into his conditioning. During this period he fights only low-level boxers who are easy prey.
However, after engaging in this behavior for several months, the boxer then steps into the ring with a prizefighter who more than matches the first boxer's every move. In a word, the boxer is fat, out of shape, and soon finds himself on the canvas.
If the champion is serious about regaining his crown, he will shed the excess pounds, run the necessary miles to work back into condition, and put away the harmful practices that impeded his training. Like Muhammad Ali, who was poorly conditioned when he lost a unanimous decision to Leon Spinks in February 1978 but came back seven months later to reclaim his heavyweight title after having put himself through rigorous training, the champion can be successful only if he goes back to doing the things that made him strong in the first place.
Likewise, an economy can recover only when business owners can shed the excess poundage of regulations and do away with frivolous and costly activities. These regulations can be hidden in a booming economy, but in our present situation, they are too great a burden to carry.
There are also the "criminal" wild cards that business owners, managers, and investors must face that did not impede previous economic recoveries, at least at the current magnitude. In the wake of the Enron and WorldCom scandals, Congress has passed a number of new "never again" laws—and the regulatory agencies have also responded with hundreds of new regulations—that further restrict the movement of capital.
On top of that, the new terrorism statutes and increased enforcement of anti-drug laws have this nasty effect of criminalizing cash transactions. Keep in mind that during economic crises, people find it best to stay as liquid as possible, as the prospect of losing everything in a wave of bank failures is intolerable to them. However, the possibilities of facing criminal charges for paying for things in cash or for doing business with overseas banks means that people with the means to invest will be more cautious than ever.
As Paul Craig Roberts has pointed out in his book The Tyranny of Good Intentions, U.S. attorneys have not shied away from going after individuals who engaged in cash transactions even when it was obvious they were not involved in criminal conduct of any kind. While government prosecutors can brag about pursuing criminals, in reality, the current legal climate has made it less likely that people will want to invest in business enterprises in this country.
Of course, the current epidemic of multi-million dollar judgments against business firms serves as warning that being economically successful in the U.S.A. also means that success will place a company in the crosshairs of private and government lawyers. The Microsoft case was not so much about "protecting consumers" as it was about finding ways to pry loose Microsoft's enormous cash holdings. (Bill Gates had a policy of the firm being as liquid as possible, which also meant that lawyers from Janet Reno on down concocted schemes to put the money in their own pockets or government treasuries by looting Microsoft.)
From the multi-billion dollar judgment against General Motors for the "crime" of having gas tanks on their vehicles to the imposition of unconstitutional bills of attainder and ex post facto law to force tobacco companies to fund the political spending schemes of dishonest state politicians, to the strangling of dozens of firms that have fallen prey to the asbestos quagmire, the tort climate in this country is saying this: Do not invest your money in the United States because your profits almost surely will go into the pockets of trial lawyers.
None of these things by themselves has caused the recession. Trial lawyers did not force Alan Greenspan's fed to recklessly increase the money supply and touch off financial bubbles; regulators did not direct capital into the mirage of the "New Economy," and federal prosecutors did not encourage people to invest in an overpriced stock market. However, once these things occurred, there was only one way out of the mess. Unfortunately, these other players are now actively blocking the exits while the economy burns.

PE -S&R Artist Interview J-u-d-a-s:iconJ-u-d-a-s: J-u-d-a-s - sometimes known as Paul, is a UK based, dentist fearing, dark Gothic art loving, photomanipulator with a gallery that leaves you a little speechless. We offered him cookies in exchange for answers for our Project Educate Stock & Resources series of interviews.
You've been a photomanipulator on DeviantART for 5 years now, what or who first influenced you in the art world, and how has that impacted your own work?
I've been an active photomanipulator since late 2010, I've used Photoshop in other projects in the past, so had a basic understanding of how the program works. I loved the work I was seeing here on DeviantART & fancied trying it myself. There are many influential artists here, too many for me to list, some are well known, some not so well known, of course, all have had an impact on my own work, I have learnt so much in such a short space of time.

Tools of the Trade: Choosing StockWhat to Look For
When it comes to stock images there is no better time to be picky. With both free and purchased stock, be discerning. Once you start being picky about what stock you use, and even better when you start using premium stock, you will notice your quality of work will increase a significant amount. Better ingredients means better results.
You want a crisp clear image with a very very low amount of noise, no motion blur caused by a shaky camera, and completely no artificial effects and edits. Noise is the most common issue, but also the easiest to deal with (to an extent) as long as the image is a good size. Which brings us to our next quality to look for.
The bigger the better. The bigger it is the easier it is to add details, fix defects, and overall just a million times easier to work with. In fact, unless you are a 100% web only hobbyist low resolution images are basically unusable. There is nothing

Introducing the deviantART Collection on FotoliaToday, we are announcing the launch of the deviantART Collection on Fotolia, a selection of over 3,000 images from artists on deviantART. It is a grand experiment bringing together the excellence of work on deviantART with an opportunity for artists to gain worldwide commercial exposure for their work.
What is the deviantART Collection?
A while back, we announced our partnership with Fotolia.com through the StockProject group, where you can find hundreds of free stock images. We teamed up with Fotolia once again to create the deviantART Collection.
A team of professional photo editors started filtering through images on deviantART looking for excellent photographs that would work on commercial websites, like Fotolia, that sell images for designers and art directors to use in magazines, advertisements and product packaging. The team then offered artists on deviantART an opportunity to

"How do you test a golf ball?"
It's a fairly straightforward question but as you can imagine, when your focus is designing and developing the #1 ball in golf there are countless paths and roads that the journey to finding the answer will take. However, the one constant is that this journey always starts with the golfer.
And our player research team is on the front lines of this mission each and every day. From traveling around the globe to test prototypes with golfers of every skill level to hitting thousands of golf balls to record launch conditions, this team plays a critical role in the golf ball R&D process.
Collecting the launch condition data and working with golfers to understand how they are approaching impact is essential to developing the tests that will help guide product development.
"Whatever launch condition we achieved with the players we want to try and replicate that with a robot," said Product Testing Manager Rich Daprato.
"Because of the repeatability of the robot we can test large amounts of samples and get real tight data groups."
Armed with the data, the robots get to work on specific tests but then the journey comes back full circle as product validation is only achieved after extensive player testing.
"We want to know who you are and why you love the game and how we can make products that perform best for you," said Player Research Supervisor Karen Gray.
So how do you a test a golf ball?
It's a long process that involves a lot of people and best-in-class technology but most importantly, it begins and ends with the golfer.
The "low checker," the "skipper" or the "one hop and stop shot" – it has many names and it's one shot that just about every golfer would love to add to their short game arsenal.
Seeing a ball stop on a dime next to the pin is a thrill every golfer wants to experience, and with the help of Titleist Staff Professional James Sieckmann, we can all learn how to hit this shot.
James' keys to keeping the ball low, with a lot of spin in order to maximize control.
>> Keep the hands close to the body with a lot of hinge on the take-away.
>> Stay on top of the ball during the backswing.
>> Shift your weight towards the target on the down swing.
Take these tips to the practice range and check out the entire collection of 18 Shots videos by clicking on the image below.

We continue our exploration of the new technology and benefits featured in the 915 family of metals with a closer look at the Radial Speed Face design. We went behind the scenes to ask the experts and here is what they had to say…
Working in combination with the Active Recoil Channel, the Radial Speed Face increases ball speed on off-center hits for more distance and more consistent speeds across the clubface.
The high-speed, variable thickness face insert has a central thick portion, but is thinner and organically tapered as you move out from center. During the development of 915, Titleist R&D identified specific areas on the face insert, particularly in the heel and toe, which could be thinned further to increase performance on off-center hits.
"Active Recoil Channel and the Radial Speed Face are two technologies that really work well together," said Dan Stone, Vice President of Research and Development, Titleist Golf Clubs. "ARC does an excellent job increasing ball speeds overall, however, its biggest effect happens low on the club face where the channel is positioned. As you move off center and mishit heel or toe, that's where the Radial Speed Face insert kicks in –you're getting more flex in those areas which helps generate more speed.
"The speed consistency on heel and toe hits is one of the first things Tour players are noticing. They don't hit it off-center too often, but when they do it's often a pressure situation when they need forgiveness the most."
Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Mirim Lee won the second title of her rookie LPGA Tour season, firing a final round 5-under 69 to capture the Reignwood Classic by two shots with a 15-under-par 277 victory total.
Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Steve Lewton captured the Mercuries Taiwan Masters for his first Asian Tour title. Lewton closed with a 1-under-par 71 en route to a 5-under-par 283 victory total, two shots clear of his two nearest competitors.
At the Arturo Calle Colombian Classic, Titleist Pro V1x Loyalist Nicholas Lindheim shot a final round 67, his third consecutive bogey-free round of the tournament, leading to a 19-under-par 269 victory total.
With another three wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 140. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 32 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 19,783 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, nearly six times the nearest competitor with 3,285 and more than all competitors combined.
THE TITLEIST LEADERBOARD | WEEK ENDING September 21, 2014
Posted: October 2, 2014
Being able to work the ball both ways allows golfers to find more fairways and reach more tucked pins, both helping to create scoring opportunities. In the most recent episode of 18 Shots, Titleist Staff Professional Mark Blackburn helps us understand how to consistently hit the power fade. Mark details three keys to hitting this shot.
>> Setup with the ball forward in the stance.
>> Rotate the upper body through impact.
>> Limit the motion of the hands on the down swing.

Middlebury panel looking for cuts
Spending levels higher than in similar towns
MIDDLEBURY — The Board of Finance aims to take at least $1 million out of the selectmen's budget proposal for the 2013-14 fiscal year by the end of this month.
The finance board, which has aimed to reduce the budget over a period of five years, will not add the nearly $1.6 million requested by the Board of Selectmen, finance Chairman Michael McCormack said.

David Beckham will no doubt be ready for the LA GalaxyŌĆÖs exhibition match with the Newcastle Jets tomorrow night.
They are the sentiments of teammate Edson Buddle who was of firm belief that the 35-year midfielder is at peak fitness despite tweaking his groin in the GalaxyŌĆÖs final match of the MLS season (semi-final loss to FC Dallas) on November 14.
ŌĆ£He seems like he never rests. HeŌĆÖs been ready for this game. I saw him on the treatment table yesterday and IŌĆÖm sure he is psyched to play this game,ŌĆØ Buddle said.
