Cool news for Four Roses bourbon fans
September 24th, 2009The Four Roses Distillery actually produces ten different styles of whiskey. They have two mash bills (one with 20% rye; the other with 35% rye). They also use five different yeast strains. So, that makes ten possible combinations.
Distillery Manager Jim Rutlede talked about it here during a guest blog a while back. Jim uses these ten different styles to blend together (in combinations he feels are appropriate) to make the different bottlings of Four Roses bourbon.
Well, Jay Erisman, the Spirits Manager of The Party Source–and also the author of our Four Roses feature a while back in Malt Advocate–has convinced Four Roses to let him do something really cool. He's going to do ten different single cask bottlings, using each posssible yeast strain and mash bill combination.
The first two of ten have already been bottled. You can find the details of Jay's excellent adventure here on The Party Source's blog. This should be a very interesting (and informative) project.

I spoke with Brett Pontoni at Binnys in Chicagoland. He was just in Kentucky for the bourbon festivities. Last year he brought in three casks of the Four Roses – each consisting of a separate recipe. This year he is bringing in 8 barrels, each of them are a different Four Roses recipe. I really enjoyed the differences and similarities in the three from last year, and hope to get all eight this year.
This, this looks like a lot of fun!
And I bet they aren't all $350 a bottle, either!
Somebody should bottle a set in 50 or 100 ml bottles. Any takers?
I love this project from Four Roses. I had a similar bottling at the festival and enjoyed it very much, nearly as much as the 120th which has been my favorite so far.
I'm glad Jay and Brett are pursuing this, both good guys, all of it good bourbon.
I have long followed the Four Roses stable of fine whiskies and am lucky enough to live near The Party Source. I was excited to find these two new offerings from both Four Roses and The Party Source. Jay was nice enough to let me try samples of both and gave me the project's background story. I was amazed at how different these two whiskies were from each other. The OESK was brilliant and just played with the palate, while the OBSK had a bit more grip and spice. Both were absolutely fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing the whole line come to fruition.
Four Roses rocks. I'll admit that I haven't loved everything of theirs I've tried, but I do love the way they experiment and the transparency of their recipes (even though you need a secret decoder ring…hey there's a marketing idea…include a Four Roses decoder ring with every bottle!).
I hope I'm able to try some of these. Although the last thing I need right now is an excuse for another Binny's order…
Park Avenue Liquor Shop is also a fan of Four Roses and will have their bottling of Four Roses Pvt Barrel Selection OBSQ warehouse BN rack 22 Tier 1 Barrel B in the shop SOON. Just awaiting delivery from our distributor. If you would like to be placed on a list (we'll call you) – just email us at email@example.com or call 212-685-2442.
This is great news.. glad to see Binny's jumping on it too. Both Party Source and Binny's tend to be my best sources that I can get to. I would LOVE to see a series of these done in 20cl (200ml) bottles. Finding the Buffalo Trace white dog in a smaller bottle at the Party Source a few weeks ago was a nice treat!

Title: | Co-crystals of an agrochemical active A pyridine-amine synthon for a thioamide group |
Author: | Nauha, Elisa; Nissinen, Maija |
Abstract: | Five novel co-crystals of thiophanate-ethyl (TE), an agrochemical active, with di(2-pyridyl)ketone (1), 2-benzoylpyridine (2), 3-benzoylpyridine (3), 4-phenylpyridine (4) and biphenyl (5) were found and crystal structures of four of them (TE1–TE3, TE5) solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Three of the co-crystals (TE1–TE3) form by way of a reliable pyridine-amine hydrogen bond synthon and one (TE5) because of close packing effects. The fifth co-crystal was identified by X-ray powder diffraction. The work demonstrates the usage of a reliable supramolecular synthon for crystal engineering, while concurrently reminds that the close packing of even very similar molecules cannot be fully predicted. |

Social Question
Would it be a bad idea to stay another day or two for my boyfriend?
Asked by chelle21689 (6588)
April 28th, 2010
I'm visiting my bf and it's my last day =(. I've been here for almost 8 days and he really wants me to stay. I have the money for another ticket back, but I did spend a lot on my trip here. My parents are expecting me home and I do work for them and they are flexible. They probably won't like that I'll stay longer but it won't be a big deal.
I want to stay but I feel like I have to go back on the day I told everyone I'd be back. I do want to stay but I think it's more of me not wanting my parents to think I'm weak for my bf. even though we been together for 4 years including 1½ year long distance.

The apple represents risk and temptation. That's the reason why it is much better to sit on it than to bite it, is what the designer Maurizio Galante thought when he created the covers Tattoo Eve and Tattoo Snow White.
There is a modified variant of the famous Tatino from Enrico Baleri & Denis Santachiara under the fabric. The flexible seat by Baleri Italia serves as pouf, stool or footrest and it is made of flexible, soft polyurethane with a hard interior structure of plastic, which supports the body and also offers comfort.
Two photo-realistic prints on the bi-elastic cover evoke the image of a three-dimensional apple. The pictures haven't been selected by chance from Maurizio Galante:
The green apple represents the apple Eve gave Adam according to the Biblical narration. The red apple simbolizes the apple that nearly killed Snow White in Grimms tales, which was poisoned by the jealous queen.
The Tattoo Apple by Baleri Italia doesn't provide any poisoned experiences to the user. Much more this humorous seat connects optical accents with functional utility. The apple motive textiles were designed by Mairizio Galante for Baleri Italia.
The Baleri Italia Tattoo is also available in an elliptical edition according to the Tato models, with different designs as well on demand.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: June 30, 1989 from Arlington, Washington Classification: Endangered Missing Date Of Birth: April 13, 1959 Age: 30 years old Height and Weight: 5'3, 120 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Brown hair, green eyes. Juliana's maiden name is Vanderlaan.
Details of Disappearance
Juliana was last seen at her residence in Arlington, Washington on June 30, 1989. She left all of her personal belongings behind at her family's rural estate, including her vehicle, when she disappeared. Juliana has never been seen or heard from again.Juliana was married to David Charles Schubert in 1989, but divorce proceedings were nearly complete at the time of her disappearance. David has been the prime suspect in Juliana's disappearance since 1989. His photo is posted below this case summary. Juliana's relatives won $1.7 million a cash settlement against David for their two children in 1998, when a civil trial jury found that David was responsible for his wife's wrongful death. The Schuberts' sons publicly supported their father. They told investigators that Juliana departed from their residence with an unidentified blonde woman driving a red vehicle.
David was charged with second-degree murder in Juliana's disappearance in 1994, but the charge was dismissed and he was freed when a key prosecution witness became ill and was unable to testify. The witness later died. David was charged with first-degree murder in Juliana's case in October 2001. Authorities said that he spoke to at least one witness while divorce proceedings were underway and mentioned that he wanted to kill Juliana to find "peace" for himself. Investigators have always believed that David hid his wife's remains at an undetermined location.
David stated that Juliana called him from Colorado several days after her 1989 disappearance. He claims she wanted time to herself and simply never returned to Washington. David also said that Juliana traveled to the Pacific coast and visited the eastern United States after 1989. Her family said that she would never have abandoned her children by her own decision. David's initial trial ended when the jury deadlocked on a verdict in December 2001. He faced a new trial in September 2002. Prosecutors told the jury that Juliana wanted to retain full custody of their children. They stated that the couple's assets were valued at more than $700,000 in 1989. Prosecutors contend that a judge may have awarded Juliana custody of the children and the majority of their financial holdings. A local attorney testified that she asked him for information regarding divorce proceedings and said that Juliana was concerned about retaining custody of their sons.
Nickolas, one of the couple's children, died inside his California dormitory room in December 2001. The cause of his death has not been determined. Authorities announced that they believed David coerced his sons into testifying about Juliana's supposed departure from their home in 1989. David claimed that Nickolas's death was related to stress stemming from the ongoing legal proceedings. Nickolas did not leave a suicide note and there was no indication of foul play at the scene.
David was convicted of second-degree murder in his wife's case in mid-September 2002. He appealed his conviction, but the appeal was denied. Juliana's remains have never been located.

Low free testosteroneJul 22, 2009 I have have been diagnosed with normal testosterone levels (430) but low free testosterone (9). I have all the symptoms of low t. One of mhy doctors says testosterone replacement will not help but another says it may help. Is there something that does help boost free testosterone? |
Response from Dr. YoungHi and thanks for your post. The key number is the free testosterone, not the total levels. If your free testosterone level is low (as yours is), then you have hypogonadism (or low testosterone). Replacement of testosterone to physiologic levels is a simple,once-daily topical gel. We typically use gel formulations-- Testim or Androgel. Best of health, BY | ||||||||||

He played on a bad foot and then the knee issue arose. It's a violent sport, players get hurt, and sometimes they have to take time off to heal up. I don'[t see anything unusual in Nicks' situation
My interpretation of soft has always been he gets injured very very easily, doesn't heal as quick as most of the other guys on the roster and is handled to lightly.
soft, schmoft, the guy is injured. geez
soft my ***. This Hakeem Nicks is a warrior and you should be dang proud hes fighting on our side.
This is a team that thinks "deep playoff run" and for good reason. Why rush him back NOW when his backups have filled in so admirably and risk him potentially being OUT late in the season?
I love Nicks don't get me wrong but I am just frustrated with the whole situation, it just seems like its the same situation with us every year and I see other teams get hurt but their guys seem to never be out very long. In 2010 it was Smith first then Nicks at crucial stretches.
Sorry I guess I am still pissed at the Eagles game that we had won until a bad play call. If Nicks was there we probably wouldn't have needed a FG or even a TD to win. Barden is doing good as is Randle and of course Hixon and Cruz we don't have to worry about but Nicks just completes our offense in crucial games.

It's turning into an apologist rag for proprietary code. This piece doesn't even present anything of substance, it's all "it is this way because I say so." Some specific points: "I have seen no hard evidence of any long-term repercussions outside of a few bruised egos." Other than the lack of good open 3D video cards and drivers, multi-media codecs, and better support for peripherals. We have fewer choices in FOSS-supported 3D video hardware than we used to. So where are the FOSS drivers, codecs, and peripheral drivers that were supposed to emerge from bundling the closed editions in various Linuxes? Xandros has been around longer than any other Linux+ mass-proprietary-stuff distribution. By the reasoning of Matt Hartley and Kevin Carmony and Mark Shuttleworth and all the other lovers of binary blobs, this should have resulted in a veritable cornucopia of FOSS drivers and codecs for everything under the sun. " a beginner-friendly distribution without compromises." Freespire is nothing if not a bundle of compromises. " Obviously, it's a battle between the user's needs and the purists. If history has anything to say about it, it will come down the voices of the end users - not the programmers." Unwilling old guard, bruised egos, purists- pretty loaded language there. I think am crossing Mad Penguin off my list of sites to read. Oh, and Freespire does come in an open source edition without the proprietary crud, which the article might have mentioned. |
Egon_Spengler Dec 20, 2006 6:00 PM EDT |
tc-Agreement, wholehearted. And, since I was using IE, also got the joy of Intellitext adverts stuffed all over the blinkin' page. I just pulled the Mad Penguin bookmark, lost all faith in the site. Who knows, maybe next week a guest editorial from Rob Enderle? |
swbrown Dec 20, 2006 6:52 PM EDT |
"We have fewer choices in FOSS-supported 3D video hardware than we used to." Actually, the situation's improved significantly. We used to have nothing, and now we have a reverse engineered Free Software driver for some ATI cards, and much more importantly Intel's 3D-on-motherboard chips which will be important for use on 'Vista-capable' tablets/laptops next year. Hopefully Ubuntu caving in to proprietary drivers won't damage our progress. |
dinotrac Dec 21, 2006 2:52 AM EDT |
swbrown - And we still haven't had time to see the full fallout from AMD's acquisition of ATI. |
devnet Dec 21, 2006 8:48 AM EDT |
TC - I was wondering if it was just me on that one too...it's begun to sound a bit like madsoapbox.com to me. The last time I had someone preach to me, I walked out of the church and never came back. I'm fixing to do the same here. |
tuxchick Dec 21, 2006 8:59 AM EDT |
Yeah, Intel is making promises (still vapor), and maybe AMD will do some nice things with ATI. Maybe. Meanwhile, loading up Linux with proprietary binary blobs and codecs does not lead to fewer proprietary binary blobs and codecs. It's nuts to even think there is a cause-and-effect between the two. I know, the proponents thereof say that will lead to bigger market share, which will lead to more Linux clout, which will lead to more FOSS drivers and codecs. Guess what- Linux already has sizable market more, more than Apple. Unix/Linux have always been far bigger on the server side than windoze, and that made little difference, because they did the same thing that's happening now: they're all running around doing their own things, instead of banding together. Any individual Linux or Unix is easy to ignore. But not all of them together. Devnet, ever since the original founders sold Mad Penguin, it's done downhill. Sad how often that happens. I'm happy for the original owners, they deserve a nice payday. It's too bad their baby has been adopted into a bad family. |
dinotrac Dec 21, 2006 9:12 AM EDT |
>it's nuts to even think there is a cause-and-effect between the two. I think the argument is that it leads to more linux users, not more free drivers. Personally, I think more linux users is a good thing. More free drivers is an even better thing. |
swbrown Dec 21, 2006 10:16 AM EDT |
> Yeah, Intel is making promises (still vapor) Intel already made good a while back, you can use their Free Software drivers right now. They're the only 3D vendor currently selling hardware that has. It's an incredibly important development, as basically all hardware being sold in 2007 will have hardware 3D support, as they all want to be able to sell 'Vista-compatible' devices, and for many small form devices like laptops and tablets, Intel's chip will get a lot of use as it doesn't take up much space and is cheap. That means we'll finally start having 3D in Linux out of the box. |
rijelkentaurus Dec 21, 2006 5:48 PM EDT |
>That means we'll finally start having 3D in Linux out of the box. We'll see how it goes. I'd like Intel to start offering stuff on the high end with Free drivers. |
swbrown Dec 21, 2006 7:45 PM EDT |
> We'll see how it goes. I'd like Intel to start offering stuff on the high end with Free drivers. It'd be great, but even at the low end means we can depend on projects like Beryl for an composited desktop. Being able to hit the low end of 3D guaranteed will be a huge milestone for desktop GNU/Linux. |
rijelkentaurus Dec 22, 2006 3:15 AM EDT |
>Being able to hit the low end of 3D guaranteed will be a huge milestone for desktop GNU/Linux. That's true, and once you start something positive in the GNU/Linux community, it tends to grow into something great. It could be the whisper that starts the avalanche. |
Sander_Marechal Dec 22, 2006 4:31 PM EDT |
What I really hope is that Intel starts offering their chip on a separate AGP or PCI-E board. I'd bet many Linux folk would buy them, despite them being quite underpowered to their nVidia/ATI counterparts. |
rijelkentaurus Dec 22, 2006 4:33 PM EDT |
>I'd bet many Linux folk would buy them I would. It'd allow a decent upgrade of an older box to at least support a little 3D for wobbly windows. |
tuxchick Dec 22, 2006 4:44 PM EDT |
Wobbly windows? Why would you want wobbly windows? Those of us in certain age demographics don't want more wobbly things. ahem. |
rijelkentaurus Dec 22, 2006 4:55 PM EDT |
>Wobbly windows? Why would you want wobbly windows? They're cool, I admit, but nothing special. The CUBE, however, was so incredibly helpful to me. I could have single apps open on a window and switch back and forth with ease...and it looked cool, but that was definitely secondary. |
swbrown Dec 22, 2006 5:46 PM EDT |
> Wobbly windows? Why would you want wobbly windows? Those of us in certain age demographics don't want more wobbly things. ahem. The wobbly windows are annoying and have no function other than looks, I just disable them. The OS/X-like expose functionality is a MUST though. Once you've used that, you really have a difficult time using anything without it. Window zoom is also a very useful thing to have. E.g., we were demoing our system for wireless patient care by having the PDAs and tablets we were walking around the audience with be VLC servers with the machine connected to the projector the client so they could see us triaging them with the applications real-time. Problem is, a PDA screen looks microscopic on a normal desktop so they couldn't make out the text on the PDAs. Window zoom solves that in a generic way and with an extremely low overhead rather than having to implement it in every application that it'd be useful for and have it be a CPU hog. There are plenty of other uber-functional improvements you can think of to do with the desktop that are only possible by having it OpenGL composited. Basically, without being able to rely on 3D hardware being usable (We need Free drivers), GNU/Linux is stuck in the past when it comes to the desktop. The most promising thing I see is Intel's '3D on motherboard' chipsets, seeing as they do provide Free drivers, and it's likely that just like onboard sound, it'll wind up on the majority of computers even if they have an additional proprietary card. It was really a massively significant move by Intel to release those drivers Free. It doesn't matter how well they perform, as what we need is to have everyone with at least the minimum not a few with the best. |

| G.Skill Trident X 2400MHz Review @ OCC Performance-wise, the Trident X modules deliver performance indicative of the latencies and clock speed they run at. Against lower rated modules, the Trident X modules deliver higher bandwidth and ultimately a higher level of performance across just about every test run. Overclocking delivered measurable performance increases over the baseline results, as expected. When it came to overclocking, I was able to pull another 100MHz from the already high 2400MHz, to reach just over 2500MHz, while tightening up the TRFC slightly. http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi...ill_trident_x/ |

Condé Nast, the publisher of Vogue and GQ, has bucked wider anxiety in the magazine industry with a rise in annual revenues and profits at its UK and international operations.
Turnover at Condé Nast Publications, which mainly covers the UK, jumped 5.2 per cent to £118m last year, with pre-tax profits climbing 14 per cent to £17.3m. Print circulation of some of its flagship titles has fallen recently, but Condé Nast has offset that with the introduction of digital editions and some cover price rises. It is understood that advertising across print and digital also remains strong at the glossy magazine publisher, which owns premium titles such as Glamour, Tatler and Vanity Fair.
The London-based Condé Nast International, which covers most of Europe, performed even better, with profit soaring by a quarter to £43.5m.
Revenues were up 7.7 per cent at £460m, with even Italy and Spain showing growth despite eurozone woes. CNI's chairman, Jonathan Newhouse, a cousin of Condé Nast's New York-based supremo, Si Newhouse, and president Nicholas Coleridge oversee the UK and international businesses.
The unnamed highest-paid director at Condé Nast Publications earned £790,000, up from £765,000 a year earlier.

This is one of those classic French salads that feels like it's a distant cousin of coleslaw. It's so popular in France that you can even buy the celeriac pre-shredded, but why bother when the fresh stuff is available? Celeriac remoulade is the perfect accompaniment to charcuterie, cold meats and even smoked fish.
1 small head of celeriac, peeled
5-6tbsp homemade or good-quality mayonnaise
1tbsp Dijon mustard
1-2tbsp chopped parsley
With a very sharp knife or a mandolin, cut slices of celeriac about 2cm thick, then cut those slices into 2cm shreds. Mix the mustard, mayonnaise and parsley together, then mix with the celeriac and season to taste.

Avis buys out European arm
The US car hire giant Avis Budget is to buy its European counterpart in a £636m deal that reunites the two businesses after 25 years. The swoop for the London-listed Avis Europe, which operates Avis and Budget in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, already has the support of D'Ieteren, the Belgian firm that owns 60 per cent of the group.
Glencore's maiden figures disappoint
Glencore, the commodity-trading giant which began life as public company with a blockbuster listing last month, missed City forecasts with its maiden results yesterday. The group's underlying profits rose 45 per cent to £1.1bn in the first three months of the year. But the company said that it remained well-positioned for 2011.
Nokia wins patent battle with Apple
The beleaguered mobile phone group Nokia has triumphed in a patent dispute with Apple. The Finnish company, which recently warned on profits, announced it had signed a patent licence deal with Apple that would settle all litigation between the companies. Apple will make a one-off payment to Nokia followed by ongoing royalties on all iPhones.
Tesco sales fall as shoppers cut back
The rising cost of petrol is forcing consumers to cut back on supermarket spending, Tesco warned yesterday as the UK's biggest grocer reported a muted UK performance. Tesco posted a 0.1 per cent fall in underlying quarterly sales, short of City hopes. Total group sales were up 7.8 per cent, helped by Tesco's fast-growing Asian businesses.
Inflation surges in India and China
Inflation surged in India and China last month, fuelling expectations of rate rises. Soaring food prices led to inflation hitting a 34-month high of 5.5 per cent in China and prompted the central bank to raise banks' reserve requirements. Inflation hit 9.06 per cent in India as the cost of manufactured goods rose.
City workers look to hang on to jobs
Job vacancies in London's financial sector fell 19 per cent in May from April, as worries about the economy saw fewer City workers move, according to Morgan McKinley. The recruitment consultants said changes to bonuses, with higher portions now deferred, were an extra incentive to stay put.
Rentokil poaches Royal Mail execs
Rentokil has poached two senior executives from the Royal Mail's Parcelforce to revive Rentokil's struggling City Link parcels business. The pest-control-to-cleaning firm said David Smith will join as City Link's managing director later this year, alongside Robert Peto who will take on the role of finance director.
Lord Flight named chairman of Arden
Howard Flight, the former Tory frontbencher, has been named as chairman of Arden Partners, the small and mid-cap broker which is increasingly focusing on emerging markets such as India. Lord Flight was at NM Rothschild in the 1980s and set up Guinness Flight before becoming a MP.
Israeli bank chief too old for IMF job
The International Monetary Fund has refused to change its age limits to allow the 67-year-old Bank of Israel governor Stanley Fischer into the race for the top IMF job. The fund has shortlisted the French foreign minister Christine Lagarde and Mexico's central bank chief, Agustin Carstens, for the post.
Bance cedes power at Ceres
Peter Bance, the chief executive of Ceres Power, quit the AIM-listed company with immediate effect yesterday. The group, which was spun out of Imperial College and provides fuel-cell technology for boilers, said Brian Count would run the company as executive chairman until a successor to Mr Bance is named.

This was my first homebrewing project, a porter flavored with root beer extract. Under the tutelage of my housemates, I went down to the home brewing supply store and bought malt extract and about a pound of specialty malts and a small bottle of root beer extract. Everything else we had at home.
The next Saturday came and I dedicated it to my beer making. The are other nodes to tell you what all that involves.
A few weeks later, after fermentation, after bottling and some time to condition, on an appropriately warm afternoon, I tried the homebrew. For some reason, the carbonation didn't take too well, so it went back to sit for a week. After that time, I tasted again, it was a little too bitter from the extract. However, poured over a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream, it was an exceptional root beer float.
My second root beer was brewed on Monday August 27, 2001. It was based on a root beer recipe from Charlie Papazian. His recipe is an unfermented process, and is intended to be force-carbonated by using a keg and a gas cylinder. My intentions, however, were to start an initial fermentation, then bottle condition the result. Hard root beer was the goal. The recipe:
The malt was steeped in 2 gallons of water as it came to a boil, then removed. The molasses and shredded herbs were then mixed with the water and boiled for about 45 minutes. The fragrant wort was then strained over ice, then decanted into a 5-gal fermenter. Once the wort had cooled sufficiently, 5 grams champagne yeast was added. For the next 8 days I scrutinized that damn fermenter for any sign of life. I nearly gave up multiple times. The yeast refused to flocculate. Around day 20, I realized I had been obsessing, and decided to ignore it for like 5 days or so. At the end of that time I bottled 16 bottles (the batch should have made almost 50+) and dumped the rest. I put the bottles down for conditioning; this hard root beer had already missed summer, I was in no hurry.
Four bottles of the experimental liquid made it to Chez Roninspoon in November. (Those four bottles also made it out of his icebox.) misuba once said "root beer is the nectar of the gods", so I want him to be on hand for the first tasting of this concoction. He and I taste it first. "It's like no root beer I've ever tasted," is his response, and I must agree. It is lightly carbonated, but swirls as if it is a little thick. The taste of molasses comes right through (Papazian says that a cup of molasses will show its taste through a 5 gallon batch of beer). The taste of the component herbs has mellowed and melded nicely, but not into what I would identify as "root beer". I have no means to judge whether or not this is a mistake or a rustic harkening back to a pre-mass-produced constructed beverage. Quizro shows up, so I hand him a cuppa, "Here, taste this, attempt to leave any preconceptions behind you." "Okay, but I see steak sauce and lemons on the table, what preconceptions could I possibly have?" he drinks it, "This tastes, um, interesting." factgirl nails it right on the nose, "It's almost but not entirely unlike root beer." And Roninspoon suggests that it might make a different marinade for chicken, which was another sign that he is an excellent host.

London Stansted Suffers Delays as Jet Damages Landing Aid in Fog
Kari LundgrenPassengers flying out of London's Stansted Airport face delays and cancellations after an incoming aircraft struck a transmitter at the low-cost airline hub.
The General Dynamics Corp. Gulfstream G550 business jet damaged the airport's instrument landing system, which combined with foggy weather led arrivals to be diverted. While operating restrictions were lifted amid improved visibility, departures may be disrupted with the planes out of position, Stansted said.
Ryanair Holdings Plc was forced to divert 15 aircraft to Birmingham, Luton, London Gatwick and East Midlands airports, with their passengers subsequently transferred to Stansted by bus, Europe's biggest discount carrier said in a statement.
National Air Traffic Services Ltd. has sent engineers to repair the damage, Stansted said. ILS beacons help guide pilots in to land and are especially vital at times of poor visibility.
The glitch at Stansted comes three days after thousands of passengers were delayed at airports across Britain when NATS's Swanwick air traffic control center suffered a technical failure while switching from nighttime to daytime operations.

Bad Points
Their biggest failure has got to be the amount of spammers now waging a siege on the users of Tagged. Many of these could be rendered useless by simply allowing the user to prohibit contact from those who are not on ones friends list. It would be very beneficial if a user could limit their contact based on their profile. As an example, if a user could set and age range, gender preference, and orientation preference so that those outside of those parameters would be restricted from contact, the site would be much better.
Also an improvement that is needed is the information that is displayed to the public on profiles set as private. Tagged does not display enough information for someone to make a reasonable friend request. You have no idea of what the Tagged members desires are for a friend. It does nothing but aggravate a user that is straight to be inundated by friend requests from gays, and visa versa. If they would display your Tag line from the customer profile, this problem would easily be fixed. This would allow the user to specify what they are looking for in friend material.
So, in closing, "GET ON THE BALL" Tagged. Your once excellent site is starting to die from lack of care.
General Comments
In the past, Tagged has been an excellent social networking site, but in recent weeks it has seriously gone down the tubes. Users are now being bombarded with spam from outside sources. If the operators of Tagged.com don't make some serious changes they will soon find that their users are leaving in droves. Tagged.com has an excellent setup for those under 18. Those who fall in this age group can't be contacted by those that are over 18 without knowing the clients last name.

Was Jesus really Crucified on "Good Friday?"
Robert Randle
6/18/2009 / Christian Apologetics
Sunday, April 14, commemorates the most revered of all holy days in Christendom, namely, observing the 'Easter' celebration or Pascha. "Good Friday" culminates the final last days of the sacred week which reached its zenith with worship services and all the liturgical elements which accompany the solemnity of the occasion. While it is almost universally accepted that Friday was the day in which the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified at Golgotha Hill on Mount Calvary, yet, is that really the day on which this sacred event happened?
Matthew 27: 57a, 59-60
Now, when evening [of the 'Preparation Day before the Sabbath] had come. . . Joseph [of 'Arimathea'] took the body of Jesus and laid it in his new tomb.
On the next day which follows the 'Preparation Day' [the Sabbath], the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.' "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead;' So that the last deception will be worse than the first." Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how."
28: 1
Now after the Sabbath, as the 'First' day of the week began to dawn.
Mark 15: 42-45
Now, when evening had come, because, it was the 'Preparation Day,' that is, the day before the Sabbath. Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Pilate granted the body to Joseph, who wrapped His body in linen and laid Him in a tomb which he had hewn out of the rock.
16: 1-2
Now, when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, brought spices, that they might come and anoint Him; very early in the morning, on the 'First' day of the week, they came to the tomb when ['before'??] the sun had risen.
Luke 23: 50, 52-54
Now, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a good and just man. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. The he took it down, wrapped it in linen and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. That day was the 'Preparation Day' (Cp. Mark 15: 42), and the Sabbath drew near.
24: 1
Now, on the 'First' day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bearing spices which they had prepared.
John 19: 31, 40, 42
Therefore, because it was the 'Preparation Day,' (Cp. Mark 15: 42) that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the 'Sabbath' (for the 'Sabbath' was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then they[Cp. 19: 38-39; Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus] took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' 'Preparation Day,' for the tomb was nearby.
20: 1a
Now, on the 'First' day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark.
So, what 'Day' was it on that Jesus conquered the power of death and rose victorious from the grave? Well, using the ancient lunar chronology of 'evening and morning' as a 'Day' (Cp. Genesis 1: 5b) as well as Jesus' own words in Matthew 12: 40: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be 'three days and three nights' in the heart of the earth."
(1a) Thursday Dawn
(1b) Thursday Dusk
'Preparation Day'(START)
"Jesus Crucified"
(2a) Friday Dawn
(2b) Friday Dusk
'Preparation Day' (END)
'Sabbath Day'(START)
(3a) Saturday Dawn
(3b) Saturday Dusk
'Sabbath Day'(END)
'First Day' of the week(START)
*Jesus resurrected possibly sometime between late Saturday night; [most likely, after 'midnight'] and early Sunday morning before dawn.*
(4a) Sunday Dawn
(4a) Sunday Dusk
'First Day' of the week (END)
So, it would seem from this illustration that "Holy Friday" may indeed be Holy Thursday; coincidentally, the very day of the week that is named in honor of "Thor," son of the Viking deity and Father of the Norse gods, 'Odin.' It was ordained in the Old Testament Scriptures through the prophesy of King David that God would not allow His Holy One to see corruption ['decay'], and so, on the 'Third Day,' He arose!

WE OFFER: 'DUBBYA DUBBYA DUBBYA - OUT OUT OUT', TO THE TRADITIONAL TUNE: So, today is Bands Against Bush international day of action, with things planned all over the place for today as part of the ongoing campaign to use music to oppose, well, everything Bush stands for. If there's a fault with the campaign, it's probably all there in the mission statement, which is basically "We're using music to fight Bush because we're against his policies" at the head of a long screed about being how inclusive they are and everything. Yeah, it's great including everyone of any colour, shag-taste or genitals, but - what the hell is that doing on the front page? If you're using the structures of music, learn the lessons of music - keep it punchy and simple. It goes without saying that you're a wonderful, inclusive group. But that's not your mission.
Having said which, if you can get past the smell of endless steering committees and making sure that everyone feels part of the struggle, anything that gets people off their asses and thinking about exactly what having a Bush in the White House means has to be a good thing.

Passenger car or heavy truck?
Is it actually two transmissions (one mounted behind the other) or a four speed main with a two-speed rear?
You would want to look at an older 3/S or TOPLOADER 4/S. You can even adapt a T-5 now. You want manual or automatic? |
Whats the code # for the HD tranny thats in that F-600 grain truck I need an idea so I can look it up on the internet.
thanks Pat I bet I could pull just about anything if i kept that tranny? |
Find a toploader 3 or 4 speed manual. They are bulletproof and reliable. A Hurst Competition shifter would make shifting a real pleasure.
They aren't the cheapest but I guarantee you could not make enough power from a y-block to break one if you tried, ie drag style launches, powershifting, etc. Those truck transmissions can work but tend to be huge, and have odd shifter locations. Another downside is outrageously steep first gear ratios. The T19 I had in my '89 F-250 had something along the lines of a 4.2:1 1st, barely good enough to get rolling. So, get a small block, wide ratio toploader and you will be happy! The only downside is some sort of bellhousing adapter. Andy |
I drove a Mack cement mixer at one time that had a 5+2 (two transmissions one behind the other), reverse was on the two speed so you had 5 reverse gears. That old Mack would do 60 mph or better in reverse. I was working for a road construction company so sometimes you would be required to back up for a mile or more to get to the paver, so the high speed reverse was a good thing. It was a lot of fun, you are driving at a high rate of speed in reverse using only your mirrors for guidance and meeting the unloaded trucks that are driving forward in the opposite direction. I have driven dump trucks with two transmissions (one mounted behind the other). The ones I drove had 5+4s a 5-speed with a 4-speed mounted behind it, reverse was on the 5-speed. We called them suicide-shifters since sometimes you had both hands on the shifters and no hands on the wheel. When you get into heavy truck transmissions there are a lot of variations and I would be willing to bet that almost none of them are much good for hot rodding. One mixer and one dump truck that I drove had 8-speeds, you shifted four gears then shifted to high by rotating the shifter knob and went through the next four gears. It was an H pattern but 1st and 2nd were beside each other (up toward the dash), 3rd and 4th were beside each other (down toward the back of the cab). I would like to know what genius thought that up (shifting in a clockwise circle does not make for speedy shifts). |
Tranny Choices
The y-block has some easy choices, you have some hard ones.
First, unless your building a 4x4 hotrod FORGET the truck tranny! A factory ford tranny from a car with a y-block would be easy. For a hot rod I wouldn't consider a manual trans from a pickup either. Most of them were "crashbox" trannies. You had to come to a complete stop to get it back in first gear. If your absolutely set on a manual trans consider www.transmissionadapters.com. They have an adapter that'll let you bolt a late model mustang 5-spd to a Y-block. Me personnally, I'd ditch the clutch and bolt in a C-4 or AOD either one with a Genie Shifter will "look" like a manual without all the hassles. You haven't said what your hotrod is ?? Puttin' a manual in a T-bucket or heavily channeled (body lowered over the frame) car is a nightmare. If you're not using a factory frame you'll wind up having to fabricate a clutch linkage or create a hydraulic clutch setup. Shifter arms are on the side of a lot of older 4-spd trannies (requiring more space and more linkage). I'm putting a 332 with heavy duty 5 spd in a 4 wheel drive '56 F-100. It was originally a 3spd column shift. It's a Ford in a Ford, but there are still a LOT of complications. You also need to keep in mind that the truck 292 is mounted by it's nose and the bell housing. I don't remember, off hand, about the Y-block, but the 50's truck and car 6-cyl blocks were different. A 6-cyl truck block doesn't have side mount provisions (bolt holes). Side mount is like most small block chevies: one mount on each side of the block and one at the trans. Jim |

Fabio Capello is confident John Terry will be fit to skipper England against Brazil on Saturday but Frank Lampard is set to miss up to three weeks with a thigh injury.
Terry emerged as a doubt for the Doha friendly after sustaining a knock to his ankle in training and was not present at a scheduled media briefing at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on Friday morning.
England boss Capello said on Friday: "He was running on his own and twisted his ankle. I am confident he will be fit for tomorrow."
He added: "The doctors think so but I won't take a risk. If he is not fit, he will not play."
Lampard sustained a thigh injury in training on Thursday and flew home that evening.
"I think he will be out for two or three weeks," said Capello. "It is a little problem with his muscle."
Capello rejected suggestions the plane on which they flew to the Middle East was to blame for the problem.
"It is the same plane (we used to fly to) Trinidad and Kazakhstan," he said.
Lampard joined a lengthy absentee list for the match, with squad regulars Rio Ferdinand, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Emile Heskey, Carlton Cole and David James all missing already.

BUB Enterprises began in 1976 with Denis "BUB" Manning and a desire to build superior motorcycle exhaust systems. He immediately realized the need for a performance exhaust system for the very popular Triumph motorcycles of the day. Having many years of experience with Triumph and other European brands like Norton, Moto Guzzi, and Denis's exhaust systems soon gained the respect of the Triumph community as "the best pipe out there". Denis was able to expand the business to include exhaust systems for the Harley-Davidson line of motorcycles and the new Japanese touring bikes.
Today BUB Enterprises has over 40,000 square feet of dedicated manufacturing space in Grass Valley CA and another 40,000 square foot state of the art facility in Janesville, WI. The original 15,000 SQ FT building now includes Denis's race shop as well as the offices for the BUB Speed Trials, an annual motorcycle speed trials event at the Bonneville Salt Flats. In addition to competing at these events with his latest streamliner, Denis, with the support of the industry, is advancing the sport of motorcycle land speed racing. Currently the BUB Seven Streamliner is the Worlds Fastest Motorcycle at 367.832 MPH.

Under pressure from the american taliban -- The American Family Association -- Ford is pulling all advertising from gay publications. Go here to find out who at Ford you can share your thoughts with.
I had a Mustang until this January. It was a so-so car which got terrible terrible gas mileage. It was a lease and the leasing company was Wells Fargo, who, by the way, were complete and total assholes about the return of the car. So, overall, the Mustang experience was not a very positive one.
And now, I'll never consider buying or leasing a Ford again.
I do, however, suggest a lovely mini-cooper or a Miata...

Then some slacker employee forgot to turn off the master mixing machine when he left for lunch (notice, I don't have his name.The big guys get all the credit.) He didn't want to throw the batch away, even though it had too much air, so he used the air-laden soap anyway. People loved it. Consumer requests poured in for the soap that couldn't be lost in the dirty, grimy bathwater because it floated to the top. (The air in it is also why a bar gets used up so fast. In case you were curious.) Deciding White Soap was a little too mundane a name, Proctor took the name Ivory from the 45th Psalm. The company ordered that all batches of White Soap be mixed extra long. History was almost made.
Conveniently, October 1879, when Ivory was debuted as Ivory Soap, Edison successfully tested the light bulb. Proctor realized that the candle half of his candle and soap company may soon go out of business. Given this, he heavily promoted Ivory Soap. Some good marketing later, not only was Ivory successful, but Proctor permitted himself to retire a year earlier than he had planned, at the age of 44.
At first I had no idea of her scent, being more than an arms length away.
Still, when that distance decreased my curiosity increased,
leading me to finally ask
"What do you use to smell that way, fresh as rainwater?"
An answer, spoken in a soft voice, halting, but intimate, matching her blush.
Oh, it's just soap...

Phuket Elephant Conservation
Phuket Conservation
0Once, an elephant became sick and a vet in Phuket treated it but, having no experience with elephants, he overdosed it and an expert elephant vet from Bangkok had to be flown down to save it.
Thailand has very few vets experienced enough at working with elephants and if an elephant becomes very sick the only hospital is in Lamphang in Northern Thailand; at least two days' drive by 10-wheel truck from Phuket.

Mobile Elephant Clinic Project
Siam Safari contacted the Asian Elephant Foundation in Bangkok and asked if they had a mobile elephant clinic. At that time they did not so in 1995 Siam Safari donated 280,000 baht to the Foundation to help them set up a mobile elephant clinic. The clinic came to Phuket and was helpful but the clinic had to cover the whole country and did not come often and could not come immediately in the case of an emergency.
Siam Safari & Dusit Laguna - Joint Elephant Project
A project called 'Ivory belongs on elephants' was launched with the World Wildlife Fund. Schoolchildren checked all tourist shops in Phuket and if they were not selling any ivory products they were given a sticker saying 'Ivory Belongs on Elephants. No Ivory Sold Here.'
Reflective elephant leg bands were purchased and given to elephant camps throughout Phuket so they could be seen at night on the road.Siam Safari's Mobile Elephant Clinic Project
Siam Safari recruited its own specialist elephant vet Dr. Somchai to take care of its own elephants in Phuket and Surat Thani. Also, in his spare time Dr. Somchai has treated many elephants at other camps in Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi and Surat Thani.
Some Notable Cases Stand Out:
An elephant in Kamala cut its trunk on sharp bamboo and was bleeding severely. Dr Somchai managed to stop the bleeding and applied bandages. The elephant recovered in a few days.
The Governor of Trang Province contacted Siam Safari over a very dangerous bull elephant in musth. Dr. Somchai managed to dart the elephant and calm it down so it could be moved to a safer place.
An elephant in Krabi was near death and could not raise itself from the ground. Dr. Somchai spent the next 48 hours feeding it dextrose solution by drip (nearly 100 bottles). After three days it managed to stand and eventually had a full recovery.
In Phangnga an elephant was bitten by a cobra snake and was about to collapse, Dr. Somchai got some anti venom serum from a local hospital and after an injection the elephant soon recovered.
In Phang Nga a timber-hauling elephant fell off a truck and was badly injured. Dr. Somchai spent many hours cleaning and dressing the wounds and successfully prevented further infection. The elephant fully recovered.
This mobile clinic project was paid for mainly by Siam Safari, along with donations from people who went on Siam Safari tours.
Sadly, due to the tsunami, Siam Safari had to keep 40 elephants and their mahouts for nearly a year with out any income as hardly any tourists came to Phuket in 2005. Dr. Somchai went to work for an elephant release project in northern Thailand and the mobile elephant clinic closed down.
Siam Safari wants to start a new project to help the conservation of Thai elephants and has started its own elephant sanctuary in Mae Hong Son province. It is raising funds to help the elephant hospital in Lamphang and would like to start the mobile elephant clinic project again when sufficient funds have been saved.
It is easier to take a clinic to an elephant than to move a sick elephant. There are no government funds for this project and a budget of US$50,000 is needed to put this project in to operation and keeping it running.

Nursery Update: Window Treatments
After I posted the Nursery Mood Board and got so much feedback, I knew I wanted to add splashes of blue to the nursery to add an element of whimsy to the neutral tones.
I just wasn't sure I wanted a "baby" blue.
So I set out to find fabric and I knew when I saw the bolt of polka dotted blue and brown fabric in Hobby Lobby that it would become the nursery curtains.
The challenge was, I didn't want to sew them . . . so after looking around online, I found a great tutorial over at Young House Love that I decided to try.
First, I rolled out the fabric using my 8 ft living room rug as a guide just like Sherry did-- no tape measure needed!
Next, I used some "stitch witchery" iron on adhesive to hem the edges without using a sewing machine!
It was so simple. I just placed the heat tape along the polka dots to ensure that the seam would be straight, like this:
Folded the fabric over the tape like this:
And then I used my iron to bond the fabric and create a nice, straight edge.
This is far straighter than I ever would have gotten if I tried to use my sewing machine.
We used those nifty little hanging clips to hang the curtains. What I like most is that if the baby pulls on the curtains, the curtain will come down, but not the whole rod . . . so it's sort of a little safety element built right in.
Oh, and Jason moved the curtain rods up higher above the window and out further. We felt like idiots that we had hung all of the curtains in our house so low and close together. I never knew this little secret until I started reading so many home improvement blogs, even though my sister once told me that curtains should be hung up high and wide above the window.
Have I mentioned that she's always right?
Anyway . . I'm loving the splash of blue in the nursery and I'm loving that the fabric matches the drawer pulls so perfectly.
And in case you're wondering, I made four curtains for less than $20 a panel. I originally looked into buying curtains but I couldn't find a color I liked and they were all far more expensive than $20 a panel -- even at Tar-jay so making these was simple, quick and cost-effective.
Up next: Homemade Nursery Mobile . . . stay tuned!!

Stephenie! Oh it looks sooo nice! Classy and cozy together. I love that material and the curtains look great! I did the same thing when I painted my living room. I made the hubby hang my curtain rods higher and wider. It really does make a difference. Those knobs on the dresser are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis one is massively looking one of the great way of making. I am really impressed about it. I have really found the incredible idea for the idol window treatment from this post. Thanks for sharing some magnificent way in this post.

Jupp Heynckes will take over as Bayern Munich coach from next season, the club said yesterday.
Heynckes, who opted this week not to extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen beyond this season, has signed a two-year deal with Bayern and will succeed Louis van Gaal. The club had already announced that Van Gaal would be leaving following a disappointing campaign.
Heynckes, whose low-key, player-friendly approach is the opposite to the explosive Van Gaal, previously won two Bundesliga titles at the Bayern helm.

Written by Daniel Hazard
Excerpt from Genesis 9:8-17
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, "As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark."
Reflection by Quinn G. Caldwell
Did you catch that? In today's story, which comes near the end of the whole ark episode, God makes a covenant not just with Noah and his descendants, but with every living animal, everywhere.
How does one make a covenant with an animal? A covenant is a contract, pure and simple, an agreement between two parties that spells out how they will behave with one another. "If you give me X, I will give you Y." "If I do this, you will do that."
So what is the birds' quid to God's quo? What is it that God needs, or even wants, enough to make a contract with zebras? What could dinosaurs or dolphins possibly do that's enough to pay for God's offer of a future?
It turns out that what your cat can offer God for her salvation is just what you can offer: exactly nothing. It turns out that covenants with God aren't quite the same as covenants with everyone else. It turns out that with God, it's not so much a quid pro quo as a quid pro nil. The promise, the salvation, the future on offer to every living thing is free, and there's nothing you or your cat can do to earn it, or to lose it.
So why don't you go find an animal you know, and celebrate?
Prayer (best said while holding or snuggling your favorite animal):
God, I thank you that in you, through you, and with you, the world, the animals, and I have a future. Amen.

My Brother Is An Only Child Review
Young Accio (Vittorio Emanuele Propizio) yearns for the priesthood, but not as much as his young body yearns for the bodies of Italian movie actresses, whom he discovers through small photos. When he can't get a straight cure from the clerics, Accio goes secular and takes up a kindred cause: fascism. His older brother Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio) is celebrated by their parents for causing a riot at work under the banner of communism and unionization, but a teenaged Accio, played by the talented Elio Germano, takes chastisement at every turn for his loyalty to the ways of Mussolini.

Kevin McHale on Cory Monteith's Death: " Will Not Be a Day That Goes By That I Won't Miss Him"
Kevin McHale is grieving the loss of his close friend and colleague, Cory Monteith. The Glee actor finally opened up about the Canadian actor's sudden death via his official Twitter account on Monday, July 29.
PHOTOS: Cory Monteith's romance with Lea Michele
"So thankful that I and so many of got to experience Cory's overwhelming kindness, humor and talent," the 25-year-old wrote. "There will not be a day that goes by that I won't miss him. Thank you all for your incredible supper and patience." He also added a photograph of the two on set of the FOX series.
McHale's comments came on the very same day his Glee costar and Monteith's girlfriend, Lea Michele, spoke out for the first time. "Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," the 26-year-old said via Twitter, sharing a touching snapshot of the couple. "Cory will forever be in my heart."
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of Glee
Monteith's other cast members have also found ways to honor and remember him since his tragic death. "I am so grateful that Glee brought this group of extraordinary individuals together to form a family," Jenna Ushkowitz said. "He was one of the most generous and kind people that I have ever met," Dianna Agron added. "He had a smart, curious mind, he was an enormous talent. He was loving to not only me but my family."
PHOTOS: Stars who died in 2013
Darren Criss honored the young actor by donning a black ribbon on his collar during the red carpet premiere of his latest film, Girl Most Likely, at Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City on Monday, July 15. Matthew Morrison and Chord Overstreet, in addition, each dedicated a song during recent solo performances in New York and L.A.
Monteith died at 31 from "a mixed drug toxicity" consisting of heroin and alcohol on July 13. The comedy series will resume filming Season 5 in early August, and will pay tribute to the late actor in its third episode.
Glee returns Thursday, Sept. 26, at 9:00 p.m. EST on FOX.

Great LO. Love the way the position of the O in MEEKO mimics the position of Meeko's head in the 3rd photo and the casual scattering of your flowers
Elisha, I love everything about this LO. The photos are wonderful, and your border and the flowers. And your word art is great.
This is wonderful. I love everything about this!
What a fun LO!
