The scale of most of the homebrew solera projects I've read about is beyond my means right now---I don't have room for a barrel, and it would take me weeks to fill it even if I did. But there's no reason not to try something similar on a much smaller scale, and I have a couple of solera-style projects planned for this summer. This post is about the first: a low gravity, hoppy farmhouse ale based on Jolly Pumpkin's Bam Biere.
The original batch consists of around 4 gallons of a Bam Biere clone that I brewed at the start of the year. The plan was to brew 5 gallons and drink it all this summer. Although five gallons is more than my system can usually handle, I was trying to dial in a BeerSmith set up that would let me liquor down after the mash to reach the full volume for the boil. Something went wrong, either with the BeerSmith profile or my process on brew day, and I ended up with 4 gallons of 1.042 wort, rather than 5 gallons of 1.037. I should probably have added water to the fermenter once I realized this, but I decided to just keep the beer as it was.
Fast forward several months, and its time to transfer the beer onto the dry hops. Rather than doing this with the full batch, I decided to siphon off 3 gallons into a Better Bottle with the dry hops and keep the remaining gallon to cut a second beer. A few weeks ago I brewed up another batch of the base recipe, but in keeping with the "Farmhouse Ale" moniker, I substituted grains based on what I had available: in place of the flaked barley and Crystal 80 in the original I used unmalted spelt and English Medium Crystal. Today, after I transferred the 3 gallons of the original onto some Triskel hops, I added around 3.5 gallons of this fully fermented new beer onto the remaining gallon of the original batch.
My process here is based closely on Ron Jeffries's at Jolly Pumpkin (which you can now read about in Chapter 5 of American Sour Beers!), but it also fits the practices Yvan de Baets describes in his essay on historical saisons. At Jolly Pumpkin the fresh beer is fully fermented with a sacchromyces strain before the wild organisms are added by transferring the beer into barrels that have active colonies of brettanomyces and LAB. This should suit this pseudo-solera style project, since the low gravity of the young beer should prevent the base from getting too sour as it receives fresh batches. My thought was that I could do a new pull every couple of months, transferring 3 gallons onto (different?) hops and replacing it with another 3 gallons of young beer brewed to a similar recipe with whatever grains I have available. The result would be a hoppy, sour Farmhouse Ale in perpetuum!
That, at any rate, was the plan. Unfortunately when I transferred the beer this morning I picked up a bit of acetic character in the base. Since I was short on the original batch there was a fair bit of head space left in the fermenter, and I've definitely opened it once or twice over the last few months to see how it was getting along. The relatively large amount of oxygen in contact with the beer, combined with the warmer temperatures in the last month or two might have provided the perfect environment for acetobacter to thrive. If that is what's happened it may only get worse as this second beer ages. There is still some headspace at the top of the fermenter, and the temperatures are only going to get warmer as the summer progresses (I have limited temperature control beyond my fermentation chamber, so I spend the hot Chicago summers worrying about my sour beers). One option I might take would be to top the carboy up with another beer so that there was no headspace at all. From reading American Sour Beers I learnt that Vinnie Cilurzo at Russian River keeps some fairly neutral low gravity beer around for just this purpose.
My original plan was to let this second batch age all summer, but if I don't top it up what I may do instead (assuming it doesn't all turn to vinegar!) is pull the next 3 gallons in a month or so and then make sure I have enough to completely fill the fermenter afterwards. Since the base beer is pretty dry when it goes into the fermenter, I could probably package it on the earlier side if I used heavy bottles and took the remaining gravity points into account. In fact, since there should be healthy colonies of brettanomyces and LAB in the base beer, it may even be done by then---based on what he says in this interview, I think Ron Jeffries only leaves Bam Biere in barrels for a few weeks. So I guess I'll either top it up this week, or open the fermenter again in a month and see what's happened.
Update: The thought of ending the summer with 5 gallons of malt vinegar has been niggling at me all day. Luckily, in keeping with my usual practice I saved and strained the left over kettle wort from the rye saison I brewed this weekend to make starters with during the week. When I got home this afternoon I watered some of this down, boiled it briefly to kill anything that had started to grow in the wort, and topped up the carboy until it was nearly full. The wort isn't an exact match to the Farmhouse Ale, but it shouldn't change the flavours much, especially in such small quantities. Hopefully the small fermentation caused by the fresh wort will flush any remaining oxygen out of the carboy. Of course, there's nothing I can do about the high temperatures that will surely come this summer.

Like any other art form, video games go through a rigorous process from an idea in someone's head to a neglected disc gathering dust under your dresser. As much as I enjoy my favorite games in their final form, I often neglect just how much work can go into them and how much is often left out. Imagine how different a game like Bioshock would be if you had a teleportation plasmid, or how much the extra hours of unused Overwatch voice acting would've directly affected gameplay. Okay, let me stop. After some extensive digging around the internet and with a little help from cut game data homebase The Cutting Room Floor, we found some of the strangest and most intriguing things cut from your favorite games.
The first solo GameCube entry from everyone's favorite plumber is as well-known for its tropical setting and characters as it is for its water pump based gameplay. Strollin' Stu is the Goomba equivalent on Isle Delfino and they come in many forms, from winged to giant to stacked one on top of the other. HinoKuri (which translates to "Fire Chesnut") was one of the more disturbing Stu variants cut from the game, a walking orange and yellow blob that would literally poop out different Stus until you sprayed enough water at the third eye on top of its head.
HinoKuri was included in the Spaceworld 2001 trailer for the game, but was most likely removed from the game shortly after. It can be accessed through hacking and ROMs, if you're in the mood for a quick waking nightmare.
The procedural narrative or "AI Director" gave the Left 4 Dead franchise a leg up on most FPS games at the time by randomly spawning zombies and powerups directly based on your skill and location, ensuring a different playthrough each time. Even with lofty ambitions like that, not everything can make it into the final game. There's tons of audio left out of the game's five original campaigns, including the above bit from the end of No Mercy where the helicopter pilot who save Francis, Bill, Zoey, and Louis implies that he's been infected.
One critique of the first game many had was a lack of narrative, and something like that would've added even more edge given that you had probably spent the last ten minutes cleaning Boomer puke off your shirt while fighting back hordes of zombies.
Of all the different types of species that exist in Fallout's post-nuclear apocalypse, the S'Lanther could've been one of the most intriguing. Essentially a race of intelligent genetically engineered raccoons, they would have escaped to an area called The Burrows and learned to hunt and formed the Tribe of S'Lanther. Fallout creator and lead programmer Tim Caine felt that the S'Lanther didn't fit into the Fallout universe and they were relegated to an FEV disk file found in-game that read:
"With Batch 11-011, we have improved the mitotic cycle efficency by 43%. We have infected 53 raccoons with the new strain. In addition to the now expected size increase, behavioral tests confirmed an increase in intelligence and manual dexterity by 19 points on the Schuler-Kapp index. Unfortunately, several subjects escaped confinement and had to be hunted down and dispatched. Major Barnett ordered the remaining subjects terminated. Two pairs were unaccounted for."
Speaking of creatures not included in Fallout games, New Vegas almost featured an impossibly strong fire lizard. gecko, codenamed Gojira, was a super monster created by one of the animators solely to terrorize Camp McCarren and wasn't meant to be included in the game. It has a special "Gojira Flame" that does 3,200 burn damage per second and has 8,000 HP and can defeat even the strongest Legendary creatures in the game. It wasn't included because, I mean, look at it, though you can access it through hacking the game's files and treat yourself to a new slice of the apocalypse.
Bomberman is more or less known for three things: tossing bombs, collecting power ups, and looking adorable while doing it. Whenever dialogue was included in the games, it was never as spicy as this.
That's voice actors Billy West and Charlie Adler mugging their way through "Come on, biatch," "I'll break your fuckin' head with a ratchet," and "Right there, sweet tits." This is next-level insanity.
Mario Kart 64 is nothing, if not iconic. You're probably thinking of the kart racer's eight drivers right now, don't lie. But what if I told you that Kamek the Magikoopa was almost a driver in the game?
Nintendo played around with using Kamek instead of Donkey Kong and giving different angles of every player in character select, but cut the koopa from the game for undisclosed reasons. All I can do is imagine what a stage based around a magical Koopa would even look like and I'm not happy with what I'm seeing.
Pikmin is one of the strangest and most appealing games on any Nintendo system, GameCube or otherwise. Exploring alien worlds with the titular plant alien things is a very fun time, but you know what would make it even more fun? Goombas.
There are models for the Mario enemy (here referred to by their Japanese name "kuribo") in the game's data, along with a very large model of Mario. Were they intended for the game, or did the programmers and designers just feel like messing around? What would battling a goomba with Pikmin even be like?
The Japanese version of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter featured a fighter named Norimaro played by actor Noritake Kinashi. His attacks include randomly throwing things from his bag and begging for autographs, similar to Dan's autograph projectile in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and his narrative involves him...stealing Chun-Li's panties. He wasn't included in the American version for obvious reasons, even though files exist with all of his moves and characters translated to English, so it was a last-minute decision to keep him out.
The files exist and the stream of blood even has a hit box, but were cut, presumably for being excessively creepy.

Trainer Tools and Resources
Of course the EULA you have to sign in order to install this game is pretty harsh, if there is a trainer for the game you're going to have to be VERY certain that you aren't online when you do it because you agree to be banned for cheating when you install the game.
I loved the trainers for the first KF I just used them in solo mode to help gain experience for the different classes. It was great and works flawlessly.
The EULA also states that it will gather information on our play stats, what weapon we prefer, where we die etc, but pointed out that they does not target individual.
So I believe the only way they'd know we are cheating, is by someone reporting us being obvious. Using cheats in offline should be 100% safe I'd say.
But all this is just my guess.
[Edited by DDHHKK, 4/22/2015 12:12:54 PM]
Still though a trainer will help speed up the grind and whatnot.
Well looks like its at 50k now, can't wait to blow this game wide open with a trainer....Can't happen quick enough
trainer is completed. pwizard will post when able
* Updated game trainers and cheats daily
* Get notified when new cheats are added
* Request which games get new trainers
* Priority support with any problem

Luv Psychedelia and trippy sounds and I luv it even more when it's from places like Argentina from where this project originates.
Really blown away by some of this stuff, it's really interesting, emotional and diverse stuff.
I'm feeling it, hope you do too.
Here's what Juan who heads the project says:
I really want to make this knowns, the idea de M.I. is to make crazy and beautiful songs to make people trip to other worlds… I think nothing more than that…maybe someone can define it as bass music… but I prefer to define it simply as "crazy songs" or "new psychedelia"…..
Plus it's all free too!!

Like most makers of smart sprinkler systems, NxEco has lofty goals. You can see it in the last three letters of their name, which could stand either for "ecology" or "ecosystem." They want to save the world, one drop of water at a time. They also have a related goal: to make their systems cheap enough that ordinary people, at least ordinary people who can afford multi-zoned sprinkler systems, can pay for them on a debit card. The Pro can be programmed from either a smartphone app or a somewhat plasticky-looking control panel, that at least isn't overburdened with confusing buttons. In fact, another of their goals is simplicity, which should be a relief to anyone who's ever tried to program a sprinkler system with an old-fashioned analog controller. The app has settings for three different types of vegetation -- rose, highland and shrubs -- and lets you create up to three presets for watering amounts and timing. If it's connected to the Internet it can adjust for the weather and for changes in season.
NxEco brags in its press releases that the city of Newport Beach, CA, has installed 42 of these controllers in the common areas of the gated community Cypress Point, which is no idle boast when you consider the drought that Southern California has been laboring under for several years. The city expects $8,000 in savings annually, which is pretty good for a low-cost controller, even though it's difficult to extrapolate how that will translate into water savings in your own yard, which may or may not be as large as Cypress Point's common areas. Another of NxEco's press releases estimates that Southern Californians can save anywhere from $120 a year if they live in Mission Viejo to $2,700 if they live in Riverside. Why the Mission Viejo savings are so poor isn't clear, but it may have to do with the city's location on the Pacific, compared to Riverside's location inland. The takeaway, however, seems to be that you'll get much larger savings if your local water table is low.
If low cost is your aim, you might also check out the Toro Evo-4OD or the Rachio 8ZULW.
With NxEco Pro I am able to save about 20% of my bill or about $100. The app is easy to use and I can make minor adjustments to the system from my couch watching TV.
We have had pleasant experience with this smart controller. It came to quite handy when we tried to tune the sprinkler heads... Overall, we are quite satisfied with this...

Xbap – how to show them
Profile: MarkWPF
With a standard WPF application, you don't really have many options as to how you display the application – it has a top level window and that's it.
With a WPF application, you have four options on how to display your top level page in a container:
- Using a NavigationWindow – which gives you functionality akin to a normal WPF Window
- U1sing a Frame directly inside the browser, also called an Xbap or browser application
- Using a Frame inside another window
- Using a Frame inside another page
These all have slightly different advantages, and I have done a description for each:
- Hosting in NavigationWindow.
- Hosting a frame directly inside the browser
- Hosting a frame inside a window
- Hosting a frame nested inside another frame

What makes Christmas special? The answer to that question depends on who you ask. Some would say it's the gift giving and charity displayed during the Christmas season. Who could argue with that – I don't remember receiving a special "Labor Day" or "St. Patrick's Day" gift. One could point to the special songs that surround Christmas or the decorations. But regardless of what people think makes Christmas special – it's impossible to distinguish Christmas as being special without the presence of Jesus.
But the presence of Jesus during Christmas is not a magic wand. It can't just waved over our lives and everything becomes "special." You along with millions of others might have discovered that Christmas can be an extremely stressful season even with the presence of Jesus. That shouldn't really surprise us – because the first Christmas was chocked full of stress.
Joseph and Mary were betrothed. I know – I don't really like big words either – but let me assure you this word "betrothed" is worth getting to know. Betrothal was not just a simple engagement. When two young people were in love they would need the permission of their parents to proceed to marriage. Guys would have to save enough money to present his girlfriend's family with a dowry. Consider a dowry like an engagement ring for the girlfriend's parents. They were losing a daughter but also a productive member of the family – so her boyfriend would present them with a gift as compensation for their loss. The dowry was negotiated and eventually agreed upon by the bride-to-be and her parents. The agreement was followed by a ceremony of symbolic cleansing and the groom declaring vows to his bride-to-be. Once she accepted his vows, the legal part of their marriage was complete. They were just as legally married as a couple today who says, "I do". It was a point of no return – a "till death do us part" type of commitment. However, unlike today's couples rushing off to their honeymoon, Joseph and Mary had a delayed honeymoon. In fact, they didn't even live together until the honeymoon took place – which could be delayed up to a year.
Almost immediately following the betrothal ceremony an Angel appeared to Mary announcing she would be impregnated supernaturally and give birth to Jesus. For three months Mary lived with this secret and finally shared it with Joseph. Jesus was growing as a child inside of her – his presence was very much felt – but that didn't make things less stressful. Joseph wasn't buying Mary's story of a miraculous baby – or that the child was the promised Messiah. Instead, Joseph's gut reaction was Mary had been unfaithful to him. In every sense of the word Joseph and Mary were legally married which meant the options Joseph had for consideration were ugly. If he thought Mary was truly unfaithful he could have her stoned to death or he could present her with a bill of divorcement. Joseph wasn't blood thirsty – he just wanted to end this and go on with his life without Mary in it. So he planned to give her a bill of divorcement. Let that sink in for a moment! The parents of Jesus within four months of their new marriage – are hours away from becoming divorced. You see even with the presence of Jesus – real life problems still have to be dealt with. Think of what a tragic mistake it would have been if Joseph had followed through with his plans. Think of all he would have missed out on by not having Jesus in his home or in his life. What stopped Joseph?
He realized he was making one of the most important decisions of his life based on fear and feelings. So he paused long enough to get God's perspective on the situation and it changed everything. Mary had not been unfaithful – she was pregnant with the promised Messiah. This Christmas season – don't make decisions based on how you feel about something. Don't make decisions based on fear of other people's opinions, or fear of uncertainty. Pause and seek the presence of Jesus – it will change the direction of your life.

OER and NCRR Workshop Promotes Efficient Use of NIH-Funded Core Facilities
In mid July, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) held a workshop to discuss strategies for maximizing core facility use and efficiency and to identify common problems encountered in managing facilities. In today's challenging economy, core facilities can help extramural researchers achieve more through the cost-efficient sharing of expensive "core" resources–cutting edge tools that are otherwise difficult to find or afford.
Status of Applications Involving Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Review and award of applications which propose the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) were delayed pending the issuance of the NIH Guidelines on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Now that the Guidelines have been issued, review and award for those applications will take place as follows…
Expanding Continuous Application Submission for Peer Reviewers
The National Institutes of Health is grateful for the outstanding services provided by NIH peer reviewers and wishes to minimize disincentives that such service may incur on reviewers' research pursuits. Therefore, appointed members of chartered standing NIH study sections, NIH Boards of Scientific Counselors, NIH Advisory Boards or Councils, and the NIH Peer Review Advisory Committee may now submit R01, R21, and R34 applications according to alternate or "continuous" submission and review procedures.
Are You Ready to Meet ARRA Reporting Requirements?
All awardees of ARRA funds, including NIH recipients, are required to file a quarterly report for each project to provide information on the numbers of jobs created or retained, how much of the project is complete, etc. Within a month of submission, these reports will be made available to the public on the Recovery.gov Web site, achieving an unprecedented level of transparency into the ways Federal funds are spent. For more information on what you can do to prepare and how we can help read on…
Francis Collins Nominated for NIH Director
On July 8, President Obama nominated Dr. Francis S. Collins to be Director of the National Institutes fo Health. Dr. Collins, a physician and geneticist, has served as the Director of the National Genome Research Institute, where he led the Human Genome Project to completion. Congress is now considering his nomination.
Resources on Financial Conflict of Interest Policy

To set the time and date stamp, first you'll need to make sure that your memory card is inserted into the camera, and that the camera is connected to your computer (with the USB cable plugged into the "1A" port on the charger), as pictured in the image below:
Once the camera is connected to and recognized by your computer, you'll see a popup window like the following:
Click "View all files" to view the files on the camera.
Once you are in the main/root directory (E: in this example), create a text file by right clicking and click Create New > Text Document, and name it "timerset" without the quotes:
Once the text document has been created, open it and enter the current time and date in the following format:
NOTE: The hour (HH) is in 24-hour time, so 530PM should be typed out as 1730.
For example, if the current time/date is November 20, 2015 at 5:30PM, the date will look as follows:
Be sure to make sure there is a space between the time and date and the letter "Y".
Once you have finished entering the time and date as described above, save the file, and close it.
If you're having trouble setting the time and date stamp, you can download a sample timerset file by clicking here.
After you've saved and closed the file, disconnect the camera from your computer. The next time that you plug the camera into a wall outlet, the new time/date stamp will be applied. If the time setting process is completed successfully and the time/date stamp is applied, the timerset.txt file will automatically be removed, so the next time you connect the camera to your computer, you won't see it in the main directory any more.

Thank you!
Thanks to all speakers and participants that brought this conference to such a successful event. Now, we are looking forward to the Science 2.0 Conference in 2015. Keep also informed about the progress of the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0 and Goportis – Leibniz Library Network for Research Information.
Please find several photos in our gallery as well as slides and videos linked in the conference programme.
About Science 2.0 Conference
With the event of Social Media, well established principles of scholarly communication are changing dramatically. For centuries scientific libraries served as single point of access to scientific information in many formats and from many sources. However, today scientists are exploring new publication forms, e.g. scientific wikis, new feedback channels, e.g. microblogging services, or online research environments, e.g. scientific networking and publications sites. This movement towards more participation, collaboration, cooperation and discourse affects both libraries and the scientific communities. Within this context, Science 2.0 deals with the investigation of how Social Media will change research and publication processes.
Bringing together both stakeholder groups affected by Science 2.0 – the library community and the scientific community – makes the first international conference on Science 2.0 a unique event. The conference is dedicated to the latest scientific trends, developments, challenges as well as best practices in the area of Science 2.0. It provides an excellent framework for networking among international researchers from different scientific disciplines and practitioners from libraries. The conference programme is composed of invited talks from internationally recognized experts. Deliberately long breaks throughout the conference and a social event in the evening emphasize the role of the Science 2.0 conference as a unique networking platform.
In 2014, the Science 2.0 conference is organized by Goportis, the Leibniz Library Network for Research Information, and the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0. If you want to learn more about Science 2.0, please watch our Science 2.0 video.

About our
Next Time Buyer Advisors
Next Time Buyer Advisors
Hawke Financial Services LLP is a professional business based in Surrey, specialising in Mortgages and other financial services. As a priority element of our Next Time Buyer Mortgage Brokers Service, we are committed to finding the most suitable products to suit your needs from the thousands available.
Our Next Time Buyer Process
Selling and buying property has the potential to be one of life's most stressful events and if you have already been through the First Time Buyer process you will have a good understanding of this. Nonetheless, you will most likely need a Mortgage Adviser to guide you through the process for the second time.
As part of our process we will give you advice on:
- Changing Mortgages
- When to apply for your next Mortgage
- Porting your Mortgage, if necessary
- Costs involved in moving home
Your Next Time Buyer Advisor
Your Broker at Hawke FS will work with you to arrange the most suitable Mortgage product for your onward purchase.
They will take into account your current Mortgage, which will need settling. There are often two options:
- Your Next Tim Buyer Adviser will assess whether it is best to port your current deal, which will likely be the most cost-effective if you're subject to early repayment fees.
- They will also assess whether it is better to look at refinancing with a new bank for your next property.
As well as completing your Mortgage application your Adviser will liaise with both your selling agent and the vendor's agent, together with your solicitor to ensure that the process runs as smoothly and conveniently as possible.
Your Second or Next Property
Despite having gained a good level of understanding of the Mortgage process as a First Time Buyer, it is not guaranteed that applying for the Mortgage on your next home will be any less complex or daunting. It can sometimes be doubly complicated; you have your First Home's Mortgage to tie up, as well as your new one to organise.
If you are looking to buy a second property the availability of Mortgages is restricted with some lenders. Hawke Financial Services will save you time on finding the most suitable lender based on your intended property use.
Let To Buy
If you are considering letting your current property and buying a new house to live in there are many considerations to make. Please visit our dedicated Let To Buy page for all the information you need.
Contact Us
For more information or to speak to one of our friendly Next Time Buyer Advisors here at Hawke FS, please do Contact Us today.
Give us a call on 020 8660 8613 or email us at email@example.com, and we will be more than happy to discuss your options with you.

A NerdWallet analysis of retirement investments found that paying just 1 percent in fees could cost a millennial more than $590,000 in lost returns over the course of their savings lifetime.
Time is a double-edged sword for the generation born after 1980, the analysis found. Millennials have the advantage of three to four decades to build their retirement nest egg. But while investment dollars are compounding, investment fees are also growing. Over time, the analysis shows that the impact of fees can shave total retirement savings by more than 25 percent.
NerdWallet's analysis
The analysis examined scenarios based on a 25-year-old who has $25,000 in a retirement account, adds $10,000 to the account every year, earns a 7 percent average annual return and plans to retire in 40 years.
Fees as small as 1 percent snowball over time as a portfolio grows. In one scenario, a managed mid-cap mutual fund with an expense ratio barely more than 1 percent would earn $1.77 million after 40 years. However, an index-based exchange-traded fund, or ETF, with a similar performance, but a fee of 0.09 percent, would grow to $2.3 million over 40 years, with the lost value related to fees only 2.5 percent — a big improvement from the 25 percent eroded by fees in a managed mid-cap fund.
Fees and 401(k)s
A similar analysis found that a typical target-date fund — a type of fund commonly included in 401(k) plans — with a 0.75 percent fee would grow to $1.9 million in 40 years. With a fee of about half as much, a robo-advisor portfolio — which manages money via computer algorithm, generally investing in low-cost ETFs — would grow to $2.2 million in those four decades.
The analysis looked not just at the amount paid in fees each year, but also examined how fees reduce future overall returns:Every dollar taken out to cover fees is one less dollar left to invest in the portfolio to compound and grow.

A group of U.S. senators have called on U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk to quickly resolve a Russian ban on U.S. pork, beef and turkey products because of a disagreement over the feed additive ractopamine.
Earlier this month, Russia enacted import restrictions on the products over concerns they may contain ractopamine, a feed additive that promotes lean growth.
In a letter, the senators called the move an "egregious trade barrier with no scientific merit," Food Safety News (FSN) reported.
The letter also states Russia may be in violation of the World Trade Organization's Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement as the United Nation's Codex Alimentarius, which creates international food standards and guidelines, set a safe residue limit late last year, according to FSN.
The measure passed the Codex Alimentarius Commission 69-67 – a move Russia and other nations have taken issue with.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a maximum residue limit (MRL) for ractopamine at 30 parts per billion (ppb) for beef and 50 ppb for pork. The Codex Alimentarius Commission set maximum residue limits for ractopamine at 10 ppb for beef and pork.
U.S. manufacturers that export turkey to Russia do not use ractopamine, the U.S. National Turkey Federation and USA Poultry and Egg Export Council (USAPEEC) said in a statement.
The 33 senators who signed the letter included Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture; Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS); Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA); Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA); and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), FSN reported.
The U.S. exports roughly $300 million in poultry products and approximately $500 million in beef and pork products to Russia annually.
China also recently announced beginning March 1, it wants a third party to verify U.S. pork shipped to the country is ractopamine-free. The U.S exports about $886 million in pork and pork products to China and Hong Kong annually, according to Reuters.

With winter well underway, it's a great time to start planning out that home beautification project you've been thinking about. Here are a few ways you can enhance the value of your house and upgrade your curb appeal.
1. Get rid of rotted wood and refinish
Take a look around your house and replace any rotted or damaged wood you find. Any areas that have lost their luster can be repainted or refinished. Pay special attention to your front door when you refinish. Often, a thorough cleaning may bring it back up to par.
2. Fix up the roof
One of the best ways to add more appeal and value to your house is to fix the roof and the surrounding gutters.
Some homeowners opt to move from a shingle roof to a metal roof, which adds value to your house and can be made in a variety of colors to help match your exterior.
If you already have a metal roof, it may be worthwhile to schedule a professional inspection to ensure that there are no developing leaks or other problems.
3. Maintain a crisp property line

Ahhh…where do I begin? Summer is the only time I can lay down on the grass, look up at the sky and just smile. Smile into absolutely nowhere. There is a passion in staring at the sky and just…wondering. It makes me realize how I am just one person in sky's embrace and of how I am so loved and cared for. This abundant sky reminds me of the days of childhood when I used to stare at the sky and fall asleep in its arms. The summer skies are clear, blue and wide. They make me realize of my place in this world, and how if I lift my arm up way way high, I'll just be a little closer. A lil' bit closer.
This is me with the heart of a child, from the land of living skies.
Summer 2015

Beneath the sea surface
The house is built on an earthen mound, so I see the garden from a height of about 15 feet. At dusk, and in fog, when partially obscured, the garden appears to be under water, perhaps recalling a sea floor of exotic plants and stationary creatures like sea anemones (miscanthus shapes, panicums), odd, almost monstrous forms of Rudbeckia maxima (flower spires emerging from some fantasy castle, or misshapen sea creatures in glaucous greens), sharp water irises. This is an intriguing metaphor to make the best of a difficult situation.
What grows, and survives the deer, suggests a grass and willow garden might be the answer. Many Miscanthus gracillimus - because they grow extremely well in these wet conditions and their manicured, weeping shapes contrast well with the dark woodland background, setting the open space apart, Miscanthus 'Silberfeder' for a bit more wildness and informality, probably Miscanthus Adagio and Yaku Jima for variety of size and complementary form. Small willows, not large trees ... to vary shape, texture, and color - Salix sachalinensis 'Sekka', Salix purpurea, Salix elaeagnos. But more than just miscanthus and salix, also other suitable survivors like the Rudbeckia maxima, Asclepias incarnata, Magnolia grandifolia, Magnolia virginiana. And I will continue to try other perennials whose deer survival story hasn't yet been told ... Eupatorium purpureum (and its cousins), Verbena hastata, Petasites japonicus. Other grasses, too - Panicum 'Dallas Blues', Shenandoah, Heavy Metal, Cloud Nine. Near the back, a mixed planting of Miscanthus 'Silberfeder' as background to petasites and Pycnanthemum muticum (stolen wholesale from Oehme and Van Sweden via Michael King's new book, Perennial Garden Design) - will it work where I want to try it?
Time will tell.

Dassia, on the island of Corfu in Greece, was one of first villages on the island to be developed as a resort. Its main pull is that it gives guests the best of both worlds: proximity to Corfu Town, which lies just a 10 - minute drive away, and a peaceful beachside location. It has grown into a low-key, family holiday destination, straggling both sides of the busy main road joining Corfu Town to the northeast of the island.
Dassia Beach is about 200 m long and 15 m wide, and has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness. Like all the beaches on Corfu's east coast, it is composed of pebble rather than sand. There are sun beds and umbrellas for hire, plus watersports facilities, and the calm water is said to be particularly good for water skiing.

Hammers, Nails and the Garden Shed
My Take on Assessment
December 21st, 2011
What are you currently doing to monitor student performance in your school? It seems as though I have been asked this question a thousand times over the last few months. There is a tremendous push to deeply mine for the data that will help improve instruction and student outcomes. The range and volume of data available to schools today makes it particularly difficult for teachers to parse the numbers. Students are being given simple predictive curriculum based measurements, a variety of formative and benchmarks assessments as well as the traditional summative criterion and norm referenced tests.
Question: Do we need all this assessment?
Answer: Probably not, but can students in your school successfully build a garden shed?
If your goal is to have your students build a simple structure, like a garden shed, you would probably want to make sure they were proficient in hammering nails. Hammering nails is perhaps the most basic and essential skill needed to accomplish this goal. Monitoring student proficiency is simple. You can count the number of nails a student hammers into a block of wood in a given amount of time…say one minute. You can subtract the number of bent nails from the total and establish a benchmark for proficiency. A student who hammers 20 or more nails in one minute might be considered proficient while a student who only hammers 15-19 nails would be near proficient and anyone who hammers less than 15 would be at risk.
The research has shown that students who are proficient at hammering nails are more likely to successfully build a garden shed. Hammering nails is therefore a solid predictor of student shed building success. The value of the one-minute nail pounding assessment is important but limited, as it merely predicts the speed a student can hammer nails. Building a garden shed requires much more than just hammering nails.
If the students are going to successfully build a garden shed, they will eventually need to understand how to read a blueprint, use a tape measure, level the foundation as well as frame, plumb and square the walls. Students will also need to be able to install the trusses, roof and shingles. Doors and windows need to be hung, siding and finish trim installed with a fresh coat of paint applied to the finished building. If a teacher wants to ensure that every student will succeed, they will need to monitor student performance every step of the way.
A student may make an initial attempt to level the foundation and fail to accomplish the task. If this goes unnoticed, the final outcome is already compromised. If the teacher recognizes the error and remediates the student until they have successfully completed the task, the potential for complete success remains. Teachers increase the likelihood of success for each student so long as they continue to monitor student performance and ensure that the students master the skills and tasks required for each objective. Along the way, the teacher may find that some students already possess the required skills or become proficient more quickly than others. These students could be encouraged to modify the complexity of their garden shed by adding dormers, details or structural modifications. Those students who struggle to master the necessary skills may, in turn, modify or simplify their structures to accommodate for their needs. Students using the essential building skills they have acquired will present unique garden sheds that meet the established criteria.
Upon completion of each student's garden shed, the teacher needs to assess the totality of the students work. Did the student successfully build a garden shed? Was the quality of the student work proficient and how does their garden shed compare to the work of the other students? The evaluation of the completed project provides a summary of the student's success or failure and allows the teacher to evaluate his/her own success as an instructor/teacher. This information may prove valuable for the teacher as they look to improve upon their future practice, but for the student, there is little opportunity to address skill deficiencies given that the time to complete the shed has passed.
Hammering nails is an essential skill and may loosely correlate to the successful building of a garden shed, but it is the development and application of a myriad of skills that ultimately determine whether or not a student will be successful. If a teacher wants to maximize the number of students who succeed, they must ensure mastery of the essential skills. When every child can successfully hammer a nail, lay a firm foundation and build upon it a solid structure, you increase the likelyhood that none of them will ever be left out in the cold.

The ELLE France 'O Sole Mio' editorial embraces a subtle mermaid look, which is only appropriate for a swimwear-centered photoshoot. Sensual, whimsical and full of imagination, the looks are perfect for a tropical resort getaway this summer season. They especially target women who are looking for something a little more classy and sophisticated for their ritsy vacation.
Lensed by photographer Xavi Gordo, the ELLE France 'O Sole Mio' editorial appears in the June 2014 issue of the magazine. It stars model Helena Christensen. Wearing very little, at times just blue and black bottoms, the looks are simple and skin-revealing. Yet that is all that's needed against such blue waters.
The ELLE France 'O Sole Mio' editorial is perfected with slick wet locks, dark eyes and nude lips.

Fabulous 8.6 From 345 reviews
Staff at front desk were not very friendly!!!!!
I was surprised that I was charged a parking fee when I checked out.
Great stay, clean, quiet. Bed too soft, we rolled to the middle. Bathroom fan not working
Was alright. Had everything we needed.
Chose this hotel for both proximity to Halifax Harbour and the airport - it was midway between both. Very convenient to be close to the freeway and even though our room faced the freeway there was little to any noise. It was very nice to have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. For us it was the last couple of days at the end of a tiring 5 day dance event. My daughter and I were both exhausted but determined to see something of Halifax. This hotel provided us a very good base location.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

JH Publicity LLC was brought on board to work with NFL star Chris Johnson and his Orlando, Florida based record label, Flashy Lifestyle Ent.
After three seasons in the NFL, Chris Johnson has established himself as not only one of the best players at his RB position but as one of the best players in the entire league, all the while being the face of the Tennessee Titans franchise.
With his record breaking speed, Chris Johnson has already left a historic mark on the league and inside the pages of the NFL record books. During the completion of the 2009 season, Chris Johnson joined the prestige "2000 Yard Rush Club", joining only five other
RB's to reach such a feat. During that same season, he also set the NFL record for most yards from scrimmage, shattering the record held by the legendary Marshall Faulk by posting an impressive 2,509 total yards. Chris Johnson also set the NFL record for most
rush yards in a single month by posting 800 rush yards, an average of an impressive 200 rush yards per game in that span. Rewarded for all of those accomplishments, Johnson was named NFL offensive player of the year. – Justin Melo
JH Publicity is winning!!!
