Last weekend I brewed a Hopfenweiss inspired Weissbier IPA. I was shooting for highly fermentable wort with 30 min rests at 150, 144 and 150 F. When I got back the FFT results I was very surprised that i got only 75 % apparent attenuation.
I've never seen a mash schedule where the temp is lowered. Is your mash schedule right? If yes then why go back down to 144?
Kai, you might also want to check out Greg Doss's presentation on fermentability from the Seattle NHC. One thing I found interesting was that his experiment identified a mash temp of 153 as having the greatest attenuation.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I'm thinking that your last rest should have been in the alpha-amylase temp range (154-162 per http://www.howtobrew.com/section3/chapter14-1.html), which is in line with Greg Doss's presentation re single infusion mashes.

Tracking shares of Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO), we have noted that the current price is lower than the Chikou. Traders tracking this signal will be watching for possible future downside momentum.
Some traders may be employing technical analysis to try and conquer the market. There are plenty of various indicators that traders can use. Studying different technical indicators can provide some good insight, but the individual investor may want to start by focusing on a few different popular ones. Deciding which indicators to use may require a significant amount of homework. Trying to track too many signals at first might not be the best idea, and it may even create more confusion. Once the indicators have been chosen, traders may spend a good amount of time back testing strategies before making some trades.
After a recent look, Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) has a 50-day Moving Average of 42.28, the 200-day Moving Average is 42.00, and the 7-day is noted at 43.60. A popular tool among technical stock analysts is the moving average. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock.
Investors may use various technical indicators to help spot trends and buy/sell signals. Presently, Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -100.84. The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert. The assumption behind the indicator is that investment instruments move in cycles with highs and lows coming at certain periodic intervals. The original guidelines focused on creating buy/sell signals when the reading moved above +100 or below -100. Traders may also use the reading to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Let's take a closer look at some technical levels for Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO). The 14-day RSI is presently at 46.11, the 7-day is 39.23, and the 3-day is spotted at 26.21. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings.
At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) is 19.40. Many technical chart analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX is typically plotted along with two other directional movement indicator lines, the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). Some analysts believe that the ADX is one of the best trend strength indicators available.
After an investor has figured out their financial and investment goals, they may be interested in designing a specific stock portfolio that will serve those goals and help create and sustain profits well into the future. There is an overwhelming amount of information available on creating winning stock portfolios. Some strategies will work well for certain individuals, and some strategies will not. Understanding the challenges that are involved with creating the perfect portfolio may help the investor ascertain how much time is needed to properly manage the portfolio. Some investors will want to be hands on and do everything. Others will seek and employ the expertise of industry professionals.

Shane Pike necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 82 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Within the next 12 months LakeHomes.com will be the web's #1 destination for lake home buyers and sellers, and a completely new design is the next step in that evolution.
We're looking for a clean, simple design that's easy to use -- something that is sophisticated but applicable to all, not one that says that the site is only for people above a certain income level. It should be a classic look (though possibly with some modern touches) rather than a completely modern look.
We're *not* looking for a "Web 2.0" look.
The winning designer will have the opportunity to design the rest of the pages on the site, as well as other elements.
This site is targeted exclusively to lake home buyers & sellers and the real estate agents who service them -- a group of people almost exclusively over 30 (and skewing much older than that on average), so it needs to inspire confidence in an older demographic.
Design the page around our new logo (attached). Feel free to change the colors if you don't like the green and blue, and the house can be moved to the side of the company name (instead of above).
The site needs primary navigation on every page:
- Find a Lake Home
- Sell a Lake Home
- Contact a Lake Expert
Also needs these links at the bottom, along with a copyright:
- Privacy Policy
- Contact Us
The content of the page must have:
1. A way to click a state name (or image) that will lead to a new page with a list of lakes in that state.
2. A tagline like "The Easiest Way to Find Lake Homes Online." You're welcome to experiment with taglines.
These are the only required content elements and must be the very strongest focus.
The page may also contain a basic search form like realtor.com or remax.com. The difference is that there will need to be a State pulldown that will then populate a separate Lake pulldown once a State is selected. This element, if included, can share the focus with the required elements above and will need to include a link to an Advanced Search form.
The page may also contain these elements:
- Our phone number (1-888-346-LAKE)
- One or more advertising units
- The latest real estate listings in the visitor's state
- A "Lake Homes 101" module like remax.com's "Real Estate 101"
Which of these elements are included, if any, is completely up to you. The page could be nothing more than the required elements, or it could be as information-filled as remax.com. We have no preference.
Elements not included in this Design Brief should not be included in your design. Do *not* take inspiration from the current page. Use only this brief as guidance.

Subscription Pries, S2.CJ psr Year "Sandstone Center of the World" E- TO BE SEPTEMBER 25 IS DESIGNATED FOR A OENERAL RALLYDAV—WAS ARRANGED BY COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSN. "Home Coming Sunday" for the churches of I.oraln county has been designated by the evangelistic committee of tin1- county church federation for next Sunday, September 25, and will be observed In most of the churches throughout the county. The program of the evangelistic committee of the federation for the, season of 1920-1921, one of whose events In "Home Coming Sunday," was unanimously endorsed by the county ministerial association at an all-day out-of-doors meeting held Monday at Lake Views Park, in the city of Lorain, The program of the evangelistic committee does not bind any ot the cooperating churches to observe any special days or follow any general plan. Every church is free to plan its work In the way best suited to Its situation, but it affords dates and ways for general observance and united emphasis Insofar as the individual churches can participate. The experience has been that most churches will be able and will desire to follow the suggestions of the united program. A united program gives the work of the churches a more Important place In the life of the community. "Home Coming Sunday" is designated as a general rally day and go to church Sunday. The county Sunday School Association has proposed their general fall rally day for the same time. Many churches and Sunday schools will have special exercises and features In their services. Larger lntereat, it has been found, is shown in the rally day in each church and Sunday school when it is being observed in the other churches and Sunday schools of the same community at the same time. The ministers of the county at their meeting on Monday devoted their time, to a consideration of evangelistic work this fall and winter. The emphasis in evangelistic activities this fall la to be placed In tho Sunday school, leading up to a dedication day on December 18. An addreaa upon the general plan of federated work wbb given by M. C. Pearson, D. D., executive secretary of the Detroit Council of Churches, and another address upon the same theme again In the evening to members of the Lorain Council of Churches of the city- of Lorain. The conditions of present-day life demand united action upon the part of the Proteatant church forces, was the declaration of Dr. Pearson. This united action he did think required organic unity of the churches, at least at present. Indeed, he thought It quite likely that different kinds of churches would always be needed. But community programs and community co-operation in church work was imperatively needed at once. The challenge for united action, Dr. Pearson found to exist In the great unchurched masses of the population In every section of our country, and to exist also In the industrial, social, educational and International conditions Of the present day. A council of churches, the sneaker stated, was as essential to the efficient work of the churches In a city, aaj» chamber of commerce was to the business Interest. I Officers tor tbe county Ministerial Association were elected as follows: L. C. Orant of Lorain, president; A. A. Hunter of Amherst, vice-president; Charles H. Hauger of Lorain, secretary; B. C. Peck of Avon, treasurer.

There Is ubout 100 feet of the street running north of Park uveuue that the improvement will tuke iu.

Tbe street, however, will not be repaired as completely as the council woujd like to do at this time but the largest of the breaks iu the road will lie repaired. The atreet commissioner was ordered to have the necessary materials on hand for the work. Several ordinances were passed at the meeting to comply with the ruling of the state attorney-general on the paving. ■*1TT^11IUlininiin^'unUUIH'if^rr'iitiT'iTnriifnitrmT)iT' ■nmi.mi '.v:uit iitiifiifUfji i] South Amherst Oeorge Oorr, Correspondent.

I noticed that he was driving on the left-hand side ot the road and that he was swaying from side to side on the seat of the motorcycle. When he passed me I spoke but he did not answer. I thought that I would watch him because ot his peculiar actions. As he was going down the hill the side cur was off of the ground when he mude u shurp turn. He made several of these turns and I begun to think that he wus trying to do some stunts or perhaps looking for some fault In the actions of the mo-1 torcycle. I begun walking again uud just happened to turn around when 1 ' suw the motorcycle leave the road und ' .hrow Itelsing down the embankment. 1 hurried over and picked him up.

African Penguin
(Spheniscus demersus)
Facts about this animal
The African penguin, the only penguin species to breed in Africa, weighs in between 2,1 and 3,7 kg and stands some 50 cm high. This species breeds around 4 years of age, laying one to two eggs which a weight of just over a 100g each. Incubation period for the African penguin is 40 days and chicks fledge between 60 and 130 days. Although isolated cases of birds in their twenties have been reported, the average lifespan of these penguins is 10 years.
African penguins have a swimming speed of up to 20 km/hour, and have been recorded diving to a depth of 130m, although dives of less than 30m are more common. African penguins feed on Anchovy Engraulis capensis and Sardine, Sardinops sagax. The African penguin breeds at 27 colonies between Hollams Bird Island, Namibia and Bird Island, Algoa Bay, South Africa. These sites include eight islands and one mainland site along the coast of southern Namibia; 10 islands and two mainland sites along the coast of Western Cape Province, South Africa and six islands in Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.
Adult African penguins feeding chicks forage within 20-46 km of their colony, mostly within 3 km of the coast. Adult birds generally remain within 400 km of their breeding locality, but juveniles regularly move in excess of 1000 km from their natal islands. The African penguin population has been in decline throughout the twentieth century. Numbers of birds exceeded 1.5 million at the beginning of the centuary, but had fallen to an estimated 180 000 by the early 1990s. The species is presently classified as "vulnerable" under the IUCN red data list criteria. If current trends continue, it is only a matter of time before the species becomes endangered. Causes of decline in the early part of the twentieth century can be attributed to the massive disturbance at breeding colonies due to guano collecting activities, and the large-scale removal of penguin eggs for human consumption (it is estimated that in the first half of the 20th century 48% of eggs produced at Dassen Island, South Africa were harvested).
More recently, an expanding Cape fur seal population which competes for a limited food resource, and marine pollution, most notibly oil spills, have continued the downward trend in the African penguin population.
Endoparasites, such as worms occur in the gastro-intestinal tract of these penguin, and in their kidneys and lungs, while ectoparasites such as lice, ticks and fleas are common. Aspergillosis, a fungus that affects the lungs has also been recorded in Afrivcan penguin. The African penguin is susceptable to avian malaria Plasmodium relictum, Babesiosis (tick bite fever), Newcastle Disease virus and Avian cholera Pasturella multocida. Commercial purse-seine fisheries off South Africa and Namibia catch large quantities of Sardine and Anchovy, which are important prey items for African Penguins.
In addition to fishing, greatly expanded herds of Cape Fur Seals Arctocephalus pusillus have decreased availability of food taken by African penguins Disturbance arises from activities at breeding localities, such as maintenance, angling and swimming. Disturbance is most damaging during breeding, at times causing panic and desertions of nest sites with losses of eggs and small chicks to Kelp Gulls. Both Great White Sharks Carcharadon carcharias and Cape Fur Seals are responsable for killing penguins, while Kelp Gulls and Sacred Ibis also prey on eggs and chicks, as do feral cats .
Oil spills have major impact on African penguins, especially when the oil washes ashore at breeding localities. Oil kills penguins by impairing the insulative capacity of their feathers, so that they die of hypothermia in water or of starvation on land because hypothermia makes it impossible for them to feed at sea. Ingested oil may produce a range of physiological abnormalities . Catastrophic oil spills occur irregularly, but there is persistent chronic oiling.
In 1968, the Southern African National Foundation for Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), was established to cater for ill, injured, oiled and orphaned sea birds, and its greatest success has been with African Penguins. Survival of rehabilitated birds was found not to differ significantly from survival of birds that had never been oiled or treated. The oldest of these was aged 24 years when last seen at Dyer Island, South Africa in October 1995. It is one of five rehabilitated African Penguins known to have attained an age of over 20 years old.
Did you know?
that adult penguins are countershaded (dark dorsal, light ventral) because this helps to conceal swimming penguins from predators such as killer whales, sharks or leopard seals? When viewed from above, the dark dorsal side blends in with the darker ocean depths. When viewed from beneath, the light ventral side helps in with the lighter surface of the sea.

Why do zoos keep this animal
The African penguin is rated vulnerable and populations are generally declining. Zoos therefore engage in cooperative conservation breeding with a view of maintaining a viable ex situ population that fulfils primarily an educational and ambassadorial role. Several zoos keeping the species support in situ conservation projects.

teXtmen writing seminars
Michael Vlessides has been creating written copy for a range of clients for 20+ years. From magazines to brochures to best-selling books, I've written it all!
Now I'm taking my message on the road, with a business designed to help professionals of all stripe improve their written communication and e-etiquette skills in the Twitter Age, when the written word is more important -- and more abused! -- than ever.
I'm excited by the amount of creative brain power 99designs can harness, and will provide lots of feedback for the duration of this guaranteed competition.
teXtmen will provide half-day, full-day, and weekend-long communication seminars to professionals young and old alike who use the written word in their day-to-day business activities, whether by snail mail, e-mail, text messaging, or social/professional networking web sites.
Clients will likely hail from a variety of professions. In all cases, though, they will prove intelligent and discerning. With this in mind, the company logo needs to be fun and creative, but not trite.
I envision the logo with the word 'teXtmen' most prominent, with 'writing seminars' secondary, either underneath or otherwise subordinated.
Clearly, we are playing off the superhero theme here, but you must be careful not to go overboard, for a couple of reasons:
1) If the logo appears too much like the X Men movie/comic logo, there will be copyright infringement issues to deal with, any nobody wants that!
2) Too much superhero says cheap and goofy, and that is not the message I want to convey.
Clients need to see the teXtmen logo and instantly recognize yes, this is something fun and creative, but rock-solid professional, experienced, and serious at the same time.
Only the X in teXtmen is capitalized; the initial 'w' in writing and 's' in seminars are lower case.
I'm open to anything with regard to color scheme, but don't really see this as an overly colorful logo. Black should be fairly prominent.
This logo will be used on business cards, letterhead, and the company website, so it needs to be be suitable for a variety of media.
This likely goes without saying, but the final product needs to be, at a minimum, an Illustrator vectored eps file, as well as jpg, pdf, and tiff.
I am also considering adding the following tag line to the business card, so you can add this if you're feeling adventurous:

Are you ready to see the new T-Mobile take off the gloves and go after the big boys? Our friends at TmoNews are reporting that T-Mobile will finally reveal that aggressive marketing campaign we have been hearing about on the eve of launching their first 4G phone, the myTouch 4G.
If you want to catch the new ads make sure you tune in tonight and watch NCIS LA, Dancing with the Stars, The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.
We don't know why AT&T is the target or exactly what T-Mobile will say, but it is clear they are ready to start advertising T-Mobile as offering America's largest 4G network. AT&T has long boasted America's fastest 3G network so maybe the war of words will focus around download speeds.
How do you think T-Mobile should advertise their new HSPA+ network which offers speeds up to 21 Mbps?
Update: Video is now live on YouTube. "T-Mobile's new myTouch 4G does things an iPhone 4 on AT&T's network can't. For starters, you can video chat right away no Wi-Fi required. Watch and see what the myTouch 4G can do on T-Mobile, America's largest 4G network."
Thank you Tre for the video!

Hey Hungry Girl, Please settle this debate... My friend says flavored water, coffee, and tea count toward your 8 cups of water a day. I say no way -- only pure water counts toward the recommended 64 ounces. Who's right? Waterlogged Lindsay
Hi Lindsay,
There are lots of differing opinions from experts on this subject. (Even the "8 cups a day" recommendation is debatable, since many factors affect individual needs.) So I'm not sure anyone can tell you exactly who is right... I'll give you my personal take on it, though. When aiming for those 8 cups a day, I stick with plain water (or water with lemon). I'll occasionally have a calorie-free or low-calorie drink like Bai5, FRS Low Cal, or coffee with a no-calorie sweetener packet. But I have those in addition to my 64 oz. of plain/lemon water, because I don't find them as hydrating as the pure stuff. When it comes to flavored waters and other sweetened drinks, EVEN the calorie-free ones, really pay attention to how they make you feel. Some people find that those leave them feeling hungry and craving more sweet stuff. If that's the case for you, consider limiting these or avoiding them altogether. You could also go for drinks that aren't sweetened at all, like plain iced tea and water that's flavored only with fruit essence. But again, my personal preference is not to count those toward my water intake. If you find it hard to get in those 64 oz. per day, try having the water at room temp rather than ice cold. I find it's easier to guzzle this way. And get in the habit of having at least 8 oz. when you wake up and every time you eat a meal or snack. This can make the total amount feel less daunting!

"Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years"….James Todd Smith truly said it best. 65 years to be exact is how long Metra has been designing, producing, and shipping innovative products. Metra is continuously striving to design and manufacture better US made products for the benefit of the installer and end user.
Metra's Axxess division adds new firmware to the already feature packed ASWC-1. The new firmware, available for download on www.axxessinterface.com will give the ASWC-1 the ability to program dual commands to steering wheel control buttons. All the audio buttons on the steering wheel with the exception of the volume UP/DOWN are automatically programmed for a primary and secondary function through our Auto Detect sequence. An example is the Seek up/down buttons can now both seek from station to station or by holding a second longer can skip from preset to preset. Don't like what's preprogrammed? Take a few short steps to manually program the buttons to do your bidding. The ASWC-1 directly plugs into the Axxess radio replacement interfaces for as close to plug and play as it gets, saving not only time, but costly errors in the installation bays. All wiring is done behind the radio (never need to get into the steering column) and there is only one part #, no need for additional CAN BUS interfaces. The best part is your current inventory can be updated using a USB to MICRO B cable (same as your Android phone charger) right in the store. By using the updateable Axxess interfaces, you get the newest parts, with the newest firmware for your customer's vehicles every time. Do the install now, today, and never have to walk an install due to new revisions in firmware.

Midway USA shipping price increase?
I decided to buy some 10mm ammunition today and went to Midway USA because I didn't want a lot and their shipping costs usually aren't too bad with small orders unlike most ammunition sites. I added my two boxes of ammo and went to the checkout and my shipping was almost $20. I removed one of the boxes to see a single box's shipping costs and it was just over $16 plus a $3 handling fee. I checked my receipts from my last two orders to make sure I hadn't paid this and didn't realize it before but no I had not. The shipping fee for my last two orders were $8 and $9 excluding the $3 handling fee. The $8 one was the same size and the $9 one was for three boxes. I assume this means that they have essentially doubled what they charge for shipping small orders of ammunition. Their ammunition prices are already higher than cheaper than dirt but until now the difference in shipping on small orders was enough to make up for it. It looks like they have made a greedy business decision that has lost them a customer.
Sorry I just felt like ranting about this. Are there any websites left that don't kill you with shipping on small orders? I can't find 10mm in my area and 357 Sig is rare so when I need either of them I am forced to shop online.

Don't shop at Midway for ammo... there are plenty of other places with comparable prices and cheaper shipping.
Before I started reloading, I was a big fan of ammoman.com (free shipping) and sgammo.com (reasonable shipping). Of course, it helps if you buy in quantity too.

I have always been a Midway fan, however I agree with you on their high shipping fees. I rarely order from them any more.
Try Graf and Sons. They have a flat rate shipping fee of $5.95 on internet orders.

I like MidwayUSA, but as others have said, there are cheaper places for ammo. Northwest Loading Supply used to charge a flat fee for shipping me bullets. They got their money's worth out of a USPS flat rate box, that's for sure.
High prices for ammo and shipping is one reason I started reloading. If I cast bullets and buy primers and powder in bulk from sellers at an area IPSC match, I can load for handguns very, very cheaply.

I use Midway alot for research, as they have a great informative/helpful website. So I do business with them as kind of a thank you, but I do spread out my business to Midsouth and Graf's to support good companies.

Two off this, three off this.
Are you in the retailer business?
To me it's sounds like you hit the "enter" button you and changed you mind.

I added items to my midway shopping cart that totaled 244.00 and then clicked check out, as soon as I did another window popped open and showed two of my items on sale for$1.00 off one item and $4.00 off another item and then it wouldn't accept the discount code because two items were on sale. Was it coincidence or do they do that to avoid the discount ? Anyway I emptied my cart and ordered nothing.

I avoid midway if possible. I find their shipping and handling charges to be excessive, and they have some strange ideas about what is legal to ship to Illinois. They once refused to ship a black powder revolver. They not only refused to ship to me, but also refused to ship it to my FFL.

Midway shipping sucks!
Today, I ordered two "Gate Detent Springs" for my Ruger Vaqueros. Price at MidwayUSA was $7.59 each, totalling $15.18. Then they added $4.00 shipping/postage and a $3.00 "Special Handling" fee adding to an additional $7.00. Total charge.....$22.18.
At first I wasn't going to say anything, but that is absurd, ridiculous, and probably bordering illegal. Any of you familiar with these springs know that together, they don't weigh 1/2-ounce. They can be shipped in an envelope with a $ .44 stamp (and arrive just as fast).
The "Special Handling" fee of $3.00. Could somebody explain that to me? What's it for? Taking it off the shelf and putting it in the envelope? Isn't that what they're already getting paid for?
Sorry guys, but it just ****** me off after I started thinking about my order. From now on, I'll pay $10.00 more to anyone that carries the parts I need just not to do business with MidwayUSA.
You'd think that after Mr. Potterfield screws you that hard, he'd at least send a free kiss!!

They explain right there in the order window that they charge the extra fee on the small orders so they can keep shipping prices down on bigger orders.
If it annoys you that much, you can either not purchase there, deal with the $3 fee, or find another $10 worth of items to buy to get rid of it.

Years ago I was a big fan and customer of Midway.
No more. Their shipping and 'fees' are exhorbitant. There are other sources out there that ship for less. They claim the high cost of shipping. To which I respond "bull butter". One employee in a mail order warehouse can service scores of customers in one day. One employee working in a retail store can only service maybe a couple dozen, at most. Mail order shipping is much cheaper. Look at Amazon, best deal on the 'net for almost anything.

Rifleman1776, I agree with you fully. MidwayUSA has probably seen my last dollar. Not that its gonna hurt them financially or personally, but if enough people do that, it would make a difference.

Personally I feel that's bulls**t. They should charge shipping fees accordingly for the items ordered. It is not my responsibility to help them keep costs down on larger orders. If I make the larger order, I'll pay the larger price. And yes, it annoys me and if you bother to read the comments above, I'm not alone. The $3 fee is just a selling ploy to get people to buy what they don't need or want and/or to clear more profit on the sale. So you're right, I will exercise my right to shop somewhere else. MidwayUSA doesn't have anything that someone else doesn't supply.

This email concerning an explanation just arrrived:
Thank you for your recent email regarding our shipping costs. I apologize that you feel our shipping is high. MidwayUSA's "Fair & Honest" method of calculating Postage, Handling and Insurance allows Customers to only pay the costs associated with getting their order from MidwayUSA to their door. These charges are calculated based on the destination, method of shipment, number of packages, weight and dimensions of packages, and packing material and labor. This Special Handling fee offsets the higher cost of processing small retail orders (under $25), so that we can continue to give our Customers the best overall pricing in the industry.

I always compare prices at Midway, Grafs, MidSouth, Natchez and sometimes Cabelas. Cheapest overall cost wins. Generally, Grafs is the winner.

I just ordered a bolt carrier and a few small parts from PK Firearms and the little half pound package cost $16 to ship. The order was for over $200 so you would think actual shipping cost would apply.....but it looks like higher shipping prices are the wave of the future. What happened to the $10 if it fits it ships Post Office boxes......???? .

Lord, Come Quickly!
Revelation 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
Jesus Christ is coming back soon. I believe that with all of my heart. The opening of Revelation 1:1 says, "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him . . ." What does "which God gave Him" mean? Didn't Jesus know "the revelation" already? I mean He's God, the Second Person of the Trinity, right? Doesn't He know everything? Well, apparently (and I don't understand how the Trinity works because it's a mystery) He doesn't. Jesus said in Matthew 24:36, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."
So, the Father who knows gave this revelation to the Son. The Son gave it to an angel. And an angel gave it to John, who wrote it down for us. And that's how we came to have it today. John wasn't told to go and hide with it; it was supposed to be revealed to all of us: "to show to his servants" (v.1). There are actually three terms or phrases in this verse that speak to the clarity of the book of Revelation; revelation, show, and made it known.
What was it that was being revealed? The Scripture answers, "the things that must soon take place"—not "should take place," not "might take place," or even "will take place," but "must . . . take place" (emphasis added). This statement is certainty rooted in the integrity of God Himself Who sourced this material. And when must these things take place? "Soon"! Underline that word soon in your Bible. Why do we study Revelation? Because Jesus Christ is coming back soon.
I want you to be ready. I want you to experience the sense that time is fleeting and we can't afford to be lax or lazy. Maybe the skies will break open today and Jesus Christ will return. This is not a moment for wasting time. This is the moment to think soon!
—James MacDonald

There's no right way to do it, only ideas that are better than others in certain situations. But if you had the opportunity to head up the design of a new OS, one to Put Things Right, one that could be radical enough to varnish out those UI/X bumps that have clung on for years, but practical enough to be used every day, what would you design? How would you handle application management? What about file types and compatibility? Where would you cherry pick the best bits from other OSes and where would you throw away tradition? I've tackled this challenge for myself and present (an unfinished idea): KrocOS (warning: HTML5 site, will display without CSS in IE/older browsers). OSnews Asks: What would make your perfect OS?

POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) - Poplar Bluff's police chief says he is shocked by not only an animal-involved sex crime arrest, but also by a letter he received from the man his department arrested.
"I've never worked a case like this one," said Poplar Bluff Police Chief Danny Whiteley.
Police charged Roy Tuck with sexual misconduct and unlawful sex with an animal. He recently pleaded guilty and received a two year probation sentence.
Roy Tuck's attorney contacted Poplar Bluff police asking for Tuck's property back; including his dog, Princess.
Chief Whiteley told me that's not going to happen because of Tuck's probation order. On the document, it says Tuck can't have any mammals in his possession during his two year probation.
Chief Whiteley said Princess is doing much better since they took her in at the City of Poplar Bluff Animal Control Shelter. He said she's lost 8 pounds and is getting walked twice a day.
The chief said he's not turning over the dog until he sees paperwork that makes him do it.
"There was a health care worker that went to Mr. Tuck's residence," Chief Whiteley said. "He had asked her to film some sexual activity between he and the canine. In all my years, this has been the only time something like this happen."
According to the letter Tuck's attorney sent police, his criminal case is resolved, other than his property that police took.
We reached out for further comment from Tuck's attorney and have not heard back yet.
Chief Whiteley said he's been in contact with the ASPCA legal team. He hopes they can get this matter resolved and be able to put Princess up for adoption very soon.

Summaries of Legislation of the 110th Congress with provisions affecting Social Security:
- On September 30, 2008, President Bush signed into law H.R. 2608, the "SSI Extension for Elderly and Disabled Refugees Act" (Public Law 110-328). The law will increase the time-limited SSI eligibility period for certain noncitizens (e.g., refugees and asylees) from 7 to 9 years and make exceptions for individuals with naturalization applications pending.
- On September 29, 2008, the House suspended the rules and passed H.R. 6600, the "Medicare Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2008," by voice vote. The bill would require the removal of SSNs from Medicare cards.
- On September 23, 2008, the House passed H.R. 6897, the "Filipino Veterans Equity Act of 2008," by a vote of 392-23. The legislation would provide one-time compensation payments to Filipinos who fought for the United States during World War II. Of note, the legislation would specifically exclude such payments from affecting eligibility to Special Veterans Benefits (Title VIII of the Social Security Act), but would not exclude such payments as income or resources for SSI purposes.
- On July 31, 2008, the House passed H.R. 6633, the " Employee Verification Amendment Act of 2008." This bill would evaluate and extend the basic pilot (E-Verify) program until November 30, 2013; provide for yearly funding agreements between DHS and SSA, with advance quarterly payments, and an annual accounting process.
- On July 15, 2008, H.R. 6331, the "Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008" became law when the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to override the President's veto of the bill. The House vote was 383–41 and the Senate vote was 70–26. H.R. 6331 became P.L. 110-275.
- On June 18, 2008, H.R. 6124, the "Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008" became law when the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to override the President's veto of the bill. The House vote was 317 - 109 and the Senate vote was 80 - 14. Provisions of interest to SSA are identical to those in H.R. 2419 (P.L. 100-234), which was also vetoed by the President and subsequently overridden by the House and Senate. However, because the trade provisions were inadvertently omitted during enrollment of the bill, Congressional leaders resubmitted the full text under a new bill number (H.R. 6124), which was passed and sent to the President. H.R. 6124 became P.L. 110-246

Meth lab may have sparked N.H. fire, officials say
Building evacuated in Manchester
A fire displaced more than two dozen people in Manchester on Sunday and investigators found a possible methamphetamine lab inside an apartment, fire officials said.
The fire was contained to a second-floor apartment at 63 Sullivan St., but when firefighters discovered a possible meth lab, they quickly isolated the area and evacuated residents, according to the Manchester Fire Department.
"We have been waiting for the all clear to go back in," said Curtis Gust, a resident of the building. "They have taken out a couple of boxes of chemicals so they have the bomb squad in here, state police, (Drug Enforcement Agency), FBI."
Police said they have two men in custody and the investigation is still active.

Coast RedwoodSequoia sempervirens
The coast redwood has the honor of being the world's tallest tree, as well as the source of most harvested redwood lumber. Often growing in height to 300 feet or more, this evergreen is an impressive sight with its lustrous, dark green or bluish-green leaves; seemingly endless trunk; and reddish bark. It grows naturally in the fog belt along the Pacific Ocean from southern Oregon to northern California, though it has been cultivated in other locations, including the East Coast, where it grows to a much smaller height.
The coast redwood is the only conifer that sends up vertical sprouts from roots growing near the surface of the soil, leading to the circular pattern of regeneration for which this noble tree is known.

Minimally invasive prostate resection is surgery to remove part of the prostate gland, to treat an
Alternative Names
Laser prostatectomy; Transurethral needle ablation; TUNA; Transurethral incision; TUIP; Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate; HoLep; Interstitial laser coagulation; ILC; Photoselective vaporization of the prostate; PVP; Transurethral electrovaporization; TUVP; Transurethral microwave thermotherapy; TUMT; TURP- transurethral resection of prostate
These procedures areoften done in your doctors office or at an outpatient surgery clinic.
The surgery can be done in many ways. The type of surgery will depend on the size of your prostate and what caused it to grow. Your doctor will consider the size of your prostate, how healthy you are, and what type of surgery you may want.
All of these procedures are done by passing an instrument through the opening in your penis (meatus). You will be given
- Laser prostatectomy: This procedure takes about 1 hour. The laser destroys prostate tissue that blocks the opening of the urethra. You will probably go home the same day. You may need a
Foley catheterplaced in your bladder to help drain urine for a few days after surgery.
- Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA): The surgeon passes needles into the prostate. High-frequency sound waves (
ultrasound) heat the needles and prostate tissue. You may need a Foley catheter placed in your bladder to help drain urine after surgery for 3 to 5 days.
- Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT): TUMT delivers heat using microwave pulses to destroy prostate tissue. Your doctor will insert the microwave antenna through your urethra.
- Transurethral electrovaporization (TUVP): A tool or instrument delivers a strong electric currentto destroy prostate tissue. You will have a catheter placed in your bladder. It may be removed within hours after the procedure.
- Transurethral incision (TUIP): Your surgeon makes small surgical cuts where the prostate meets your bladder. This makes the urethra wider. This procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. Many men can go home the same day. Full recovery can take 2 to 3 weeks.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
An enlarged prostate can make it hard for you to urinate. You may also get
Your doctor may recommend prostate removal if you:
- Cannot completely empty your bladder (urinary retention)
- Have repeat urinary tract infections
- Have bleeding from your prostate
- Have
bladder stoneswith your enlarged prostate
- Urinate very slowly
- Took medicines, and they did not help your symptoms
Risks for any surgery are:
Blood clotsin the legs that may travel to the lungs Blood loss Breathing problems Heart attackor strokeduring surgery
- Infection, including in the surgical wound, lungs (
pneumonia), bladder, or kidney
- Reactions to medications
Other risks for this surgery are:
- Erection problems (
- No symptom improvement
- Passing semen back into your bladder instead of out through the urethra (
retrograde ejaculation)
- Problems with urine control (
incontinence) Urethral stricture(tightening of the urinary outlet from scar tissue)
Before the Procedure
You will have many visits with your doctor and tests before surgery:
- Complete physical exam
- Visits with your doctor to make sure medical problems, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart or lung problems are being treated well
If you are a smoker, you should stop several weeks before the surgery. Your doctor or nurse can help.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription.
During the weeks before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), vitamin E, clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and other drugs like these.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
On the day of your surgery:
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital or clinic.
After the Procedure
Most people are able to gohome the day of surgery, or the day after. You may still have a catheter in your bladder when you leave the hospital or clinic.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time these procedures can relieve your symptoms. But you have a higher chance of needing a second surgery in 5 to 10 years than if you have transurethral resection of the prostate (
Some of these less invasive surgeries may cause fewer problems with controlling your urine or ability to have sex than the standard TURP. Talk to your doctor.
You may have the following problems for a while after surgery:
- Blood in your urine
- Burning with urination
- Need to urinate more often
- Sudden urge to urinate

The skyrocketing cost of nitrogen is spurring a lot of interest among farmers in alternative nitrogen sources, and there aren't very many, says Charles Mitchell, Auburn University Extension agronomist. Mitchell spoke about alternative nitrogen sources at the recent East Alabama Cotton Production Meeting in Marvyn.
"We need nitrogen, and most of our nitrogen sources are in the ammonium form," says Mitchell. "We know that nitrogen is essential for making protein, and protein is essential for making cotton."
Unfortunately, he says, there are only a few alternative sources of nitrogen available to farmers. "We've known for 110 years now, thanks to Alabama's Old Rotation, that we can produce two-plus bales of cotton year in and year out just on legume nitrogen, such as from a clover or vetch cover crop. But this takes planning and a lot of management if a grower wants to utilize legume nitrogen in his production system," he says.
Broiler litter is another option, says Mitchell. "We have 2 million or so tons of broiler litter in Alabama, and we once said it was a 3-3-2 fertilizer, but it has gone higher. On the average, chicken littler is about a 3-4-3 fertilizer. The average phosphorus and potassium levels have gone up," he says.
Thirteen years of research have shown that broiler litter is a good source of fertility for cotton, he says. "I've been told that you can buy poultry litter at just about any poultry farm in north Alabama for less than $10 per ton. But that won't get it to central or south Alabama," says Mitchell.
Five years of research in central Alabama looked at nitrogen rates versus yield, comparing ammonium nitrate and broiler litter, and the total nitrogen in broiler litter was close behind ammonium nitrate in yields, he says. "We got our maximum yields at about 108 pounds of broiler litter nitrogen and 120 pounds of ammonium nitrate."
About two-thirds of the broiler litter nitrogen applied this year is going to be available for this year's crop, says Mitchell. "It takes about 180 pounds of nitrogen as broiler litter to give use the same cotton yield as 120 pounds nitrogen as ammonium nitrate.
"In our experiment, all of the broiler litter was put out at planting. Ammonium nitrate was put out in split applications, just as we recommend. But don't count on much residual nitrogen from broiler littler."
The bottom line, says Mitchell, is that broiler litter is a good alternative nitrogen source for cotton. "If you use it, the NRCS nutrient management code states that all nutrients should be put out no more than 30 days prior to planting the crop. I get calls from growers in north Alabama wanting to know if they can put out chicken litter in January and plant corn in April. But that's not the way to do it.
"In our tests, we always put out broiler litter within two to three days of planting the crop. Treat it as you would any fertilizer. That's going to involve storing it. We thought we could get by with just piling it up out in the field. In one of our tests, we piled up broiler litter and covered it to see if we could store it out in the weather. But it soaks up rain like a sponge. If you have chicken litter delivered to your farm, you had better cover it up or you'll lose it. It's not a pretty sight when it
becomes saturated with water, and it's impossible to spread."
Urea is another alternative source of nitrogen, and it's the cheapest source of fertilizer nitrogen other than anhydrous ammonia, says Mitchell.
"It's about a 46-0-0 fertilizer. It's a good source of fertilizer to use, and the reason it's so inexpensive is because of the process used in making it. It's a relatively inexpensive process compared to that used to make ammonium nitrate. Any nitrate is expensive compared to an ammonium source, and urea is all ammonium."
Biuret, says Mitchell, is a feed-grade urea that is used as a supplemental source of nitrogen, sprayed on cotton leaves in late summer.
"Dry urea is the most concentrated source of solid nitrogen available. It's fairly water soluble. If you mix it with water at the maximum concentration, you'll get a 23-percent nitrogen solution. You'll get only a 19-percent ammonium nitrate solution. If you mix urea and ammonium nitrate together, you can get up to a 32-percent solution. That's the liquid fertilizer we're using — one-half ammonium nitrate and one-half urea."
Another advantage of dry urea compared to ammonium nitrate is that urea can be applied over cotton leaves and it won't burn the plant, whereas ammonium nitrate will burn anything if some moisture is present, he says.
"Urea also is pretty stable in high humidity. It will tolerate humidity of 75 percent before it starts to absorb water. Ammonium nitrate has a critical level of humidity of 59 percent.
"The big problem with urea is its volatilization. It can go back into the air as a gas, and that generally occurs under certain conditions."
Whenever urea reacts with a small amount of moisture in the soil, urease is formed, explains Mitchell. "Ammonium gas then is formed, and it goes back into the air — that's how we lose it. All plants have urease in them.
Residue from no-till and organic matter on the soil surface give us urease. Surface-applied urea in the presence of urease can result in volatilization loss."
Water is required for dissolving urea, he says. "If you have plenty of moisture, it'll wash on into the soil. The higher your soil pH, the greater your chances of losing urea to volatilization. The worst-case scenario would be if you were using urea in the middle of the summer, it's hot and dry, but you've had enough humidity to give you heavy dew.
"In addition, you're on pastureland with a lot of residue on the surface, and your soil pH is above 7. If you broadcast urea on the surface, and you don't get rain for about two weeks, you could get about a 50-percent loss."
On the other hand, if you put out urea early in the spring, you get a one half-inch rain within three days, and urea is broadcast on tilled land, you'll get almost no loss, he says.
