Software that helps you track, monitor and reduce staff absences.
We understand that poor staff attendance can have a major impact on your school, in terms of performance and continuity of teaching. With so many triggers to look at, identifying trends and reducing absences can seem impossible. We've used our experience in education to develop SAM especially for schools and we know it can help you reduce absence and improve standards.
Based on an average 40% reduction in absence, SAM can help an average secondary school save up to £54,526*. To work out your potential cost savings use our calculator. It can save time and money, reducing supply costs, occupational health referrals and improving educational standards.
*Absence figures are based on the CIPD Absence Management Annual Survey Report published November 2016, look at our calculator for more information. Average reduction in absence days of 40% taken from Autumn and Spring term results across 10 schools who have effectively used SAM since Sept 2015.
Using SAM, your school will be able to:
For more information about SAM go to our dedicated website staffabsencemanagement.co.uk or request an information pack.
We provide a free no-obligation demonstration of the system on an individual basis or as a small group and it only takes 20-30 mins. Contact us to book a demo.
We take delight in receiving feedback from our clients. Here's what they had to say.
SAM is a great tool for tracking our staff absences. Over the last few months, as a result of using SAM, we have been able to highlight key areas and departments that were underperforming for specific reasons and take the necessary action to make improvements. SAM highlights the trends for you, provides all the employee information in one place and gives you the right absence management documentation to complete the tasks. Overall it meant we got staff back to work quicker, staff morale improved and absence costs were reduced. I couldn't be happier.

Pachypappa tremulae
Aspen-spruce aphidOn this page: Identification & Distribution Biology & Ecology Other aphids on the same host Damage & Control
Identification & Distribution:
In springtime Pachypappa tremulae fundatrices (not shown here) may be found on the twigs of aspen (Populus tremula). They are unusually large (body length 5.0-6.6 mm) and are almost globular. They are a dirty reddish or yellowish brown colour, but appear silvery as they are covered with long fine hairs. They have no siphuncular pores and do not secrete any wax. The offspring of the fundatrix move on to the new shoots and form a rosette like leaf nest (see first picture below) formed by bending of the leaf petioles and stunting of growth of the shoot.
Guest images copyright Volker Fäßler, all rights reserved
These offspring all develop to winged individuals (see second picture above) which are orange or reddish brown, covered in wax and with very small siphuncular pores. They migrate in June to form colonies on the roots of spruce (Picea abies). Pachypappa tremulae apterae on spruce are pale yellowish white with tufts of wax posteriorly. Sexual forms then return to aspen in autumn. Pachypappa tremulae is widely distributed in the northern palaearctic, east to China and Japan.
Biology & Ecology:
Baker (2012) found leaf-nests containing Pachypappa tremulae on most aspen trees in June 2012 at Dundreggan in Scotland. However, none was found on the same site in July 2013, probably because the unusually hot weather that year had already prompted a move to spruce roots, the summer host (Dransfield & Brightwell, 2013 ).
Guest image copyright Volker Fäßler, all rights reserved
Allan Watson Featherstone (2012) describes the leaf nest of Pachypappa tremulae at Dundreggan together with some excellent photos. The aphids suck the sap from one side of the leaf petiole. This causes each infested leaf to droop downwards, so forming a tent-like structure known as a leaf nest. He points out that the wax coating these aphids has a defensive purpose against potential predators.

Other aphids on same host:
Primary host
Blackman & Eastop list 17 species of aphid as feeding on European aspen (Populus tremula) worldwide, and provide formal identification keys.
Of those aphid species, Baker (2015) lists 11 as occurring in Britain: Chaitophorus leucomelas, Chaitophorus populeti, Chaitophorus populialbae, Chaitophorus tremulae, Gootiella tremulae, Pachypappa tremulae, Pachpappella lactea, Phloeomyzus passerinii, Pterocomma populeum, Pterocomma tremulae, and Stomaphis longirostris.
Secondary hosts
Blackman & Eastop list Pachypappa tremulae as occurring on 3 spruce species: Norwegian spruce (Picea abies = Picea excelsa), oriental spruce or Caucasian spruce (Picea orientalis) and Colorado spruce (Picea pungens).
Damage and control
Shrimpton (1985) reported the presences of Pachypappa tremulae as a conifer pest in several nurseries in British Columbia and Alberta. The aphid was usually found on container spruce and spruce potted for grafting with few records from bare root. The white waxy infestations were on the surface of the plug between the roots and the container wall, closer to the top of the plug than the bottom. However, most nurseries with infestations of this root aphid did not report any chlorotic or undersized individuals, and it was anticipated that damage would be minimal if nutrients and moisture were adequate.

This isn't exactly an outfit post, but it started snowing (again) last night, so everything's white outside and I couldn't really bother going outside to take pictures..
My week went pretty well, I got my history prebac back where I got a 7.75/10 and wrote my economics test which I think went quite good! On Monday, I have my first 'real' Prebac (meaning it'll be written in the big exam room) which is Philosophy and I'm already tired of Rousseau, Locke and Hobbes, phew. Later on today I'll go to the gym and then spend the evening at my boyfriend's.
Okay, time to hit the books again! xo

Carl is such a fantastic entertainer who obviously loves music. I am so glad he will be joining us again. Anyone who has heard him knows his incredible talent. His Summit performance is much better than going to a concert where you need binoculars to see the main performer. At our summits, you are in an informal setting up close to Carl. You will be entertained with hit songs from rock and country genres, as well as songs requested by the audience. Barb is definitely correct – it will be a memorable evening for you!

Here you find the latest information concerning our BusinessLine:
As of now the new version 184.108.40.206 SP2 of BusinessLine is ready for download under www.baebank.at/eb (username: ba password: ba). See also the link "Baebank" in the side menu.
Please follow the instructions on our download page www.baebank.at/eb.
BusinessLine 184.108.40.206 SP2 contains the following amendments:
Already contained in BusinessLine 18.104.22.168 (with several ServicePacks):
Already contained in BusinessLine 126.96.36.199 (with several ServicePacks):
Dear BusinessLine user,
changes in the area Electronic Banking (e.g. SEPA payment transactions, format adaptions, encryption methods, signature methods,…) caused permanent adaptions of the Electronic Banking standard (MultiBankStandard, MBS) and therefore also of the software BusinessLine in the last years.
Now it is essential that all users switch to the updated MultiBankStandard MBS 7.0.
Precondition of the switch is the version BusinessLine 188.8.131.52!
If you still use an elder version, it will be absolutely necessary to execute the update. The current version will be at your disposal to be downloaded under www.baebank.at/eb (User: ba Password:
Kindly follow the instructions on the respective download page.
BusinessLine versions elder than version 8 will no longer be supported from dd.mm.yyyy !
All innovations will be available from MBS 7.0 (see separat BusinessLine NEWS article).
After successful installation of BusinessLine 188.8.131.52 you only have to switch from data format MBS 5.1/6.0 to MBS 7.0 in the menu "System data – Bank server". Mark the bank server which has to be adapted and click on the tab "CHANGE bank server". Here you will be able to switch to MBS 7.0 via the selection list in the field "Data format".
Please consider that the switch can only be executed successfully if no records for this bank server are contained in the record administration. Furthermore, all remitter accounts have to be switched to IBAN. An instruction for the switch can be found adjoining for download.
As of 1 August 2014, all payment transactions in euro within the Single Euro Payments Area will be converted to SEPA payment transactions. The use of IBAN – and abroad also the BIC – will be mandatory as of this date. This means that the account number and routing code have to be replaced by IBAN and BIC also for domestic transfers and direct debits. Therefore please do not forget to obtain the IBAN of your customers, business partners and employees in time. Your relationship manager at Bank Austria will support you with the conversion of your standard data.
Please also consider that in line with the EU Regulation 260/2012, storage media to order SEPA transactions may only be used with the respective SEPA procedure and XML formats (APC ISO20022) from 1 August 2014. Further details are available here. If you have further questions, please contact your relationship manager or our hotline 05 05 05 26400.
You are therefore strongly advised to update your BusinessLine to the latest version to support the new formats. Communication with the Electronic Banking server of Bank Austria will no longer be possible with a version less than 7.6 from September 2014. The version 22.214.171.124 is available here for download (user name: ba / password: ba).
Moreover, your previous systems (accounting system) must be adjusted to deliver these new formats.
Please ensure that you give yourself enough time to comply with legal requirements before the changeover on 1 August 2014 so that you have an adequate time buffer for the test phase.
If you are already processing account statements in the MT940/942 format in your accounting system, please consider that the display of separately booked SEPA transactions changed as of 29 October 2012.
These transactions were previously displayed like domestic transactions, but these transactions have been assigned separate transaction codes since the accounting entry date 29 October 2012. In the case of SEPA transactions Field 61/Subfield 7 and Field 86 are displayed in a more specific manner.
EREF+ … for SEPA credits (indicates the payment reference)
MREF+ …for SEPA direct debits (indicates the mandate reference)
KREF+ … for the remitter of the payments (indicates the record control number)
105… SEPA direct debit (single booking debit side, B2C business to consumer)
109… SEPA direct debit (debit side; return debit)
116… SEPA transfer (single booking debit side)
159… SEPA transfer return booking (credit side)
166… SEPA transfer (single booking credit side)
Starting with Subfield 20 you will moreover find the reference which corresponds to the identifier in the Field 61/Subfield 7,e.g.:
:86:166~Gutschrift~1008515~20EREF+here is the payment~21sreferenz...
All details are available in the official Austrian MT940 Documentation of STUZZA (Studiengesellschaft für Zusammenarbeit im österreichischen Zahlungsverkehr – Association for Cooperation in Payment Transfers).

Predictive tool for the estimation of methanol loss in condensate phase during gas hydrate inhibition
Document Type
Publication details
Bahadori, A & Vuthaluru, HB 2010, 'Predictive tool for the estimation of methanol loss in condensate phase during gas hydrate inhibition', Energy & Fuels, vol. 24, no. 5, pp. 2999-3002.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
In this work, a simple Arrhenius-type function that is easier than existing approaches, because it is less complicated and has fewer computations, and is suitable for process engineers, is presented here for the estimation of methanol loss in paraffinic hydrocarbons, as a function of temperature and methanol concentration in the water phase. The solubility of methanol in paraffin hydrocarbons is calculated for temperatures between −30 °C and 50 °C and methanol concentrations in the water phase up to a mass fraction of 0.70. Estimations are found to be in excellent agreement with reliable data in the literature, with the average absolute deviation being 2.12%. The tool developed in this study can be of immense practical value for the engineers and scientists to have a quick check on the loss of methanol in paraffinic hydrocarbons phase under various conditions without opting for any experimental measurements. In particular, chemical and process engineers would find the approach to be user-friendly with transparent calculations that involve no complex expressions.

Goblin Market
This week Debbie (née DGlass) was unbelievably sweet and treated me to a lovely dinner at the newish Goblin Market. This "American Creative" bistro has received lots of attention since it opened in late September—partially, I think, because of its prime Soho location, on the western end of Prince Street—and I've heard that it gets packed on the weekends, but on Wednesday Debbie had no problem securing a same-day reservation for 7:00. Which was excellent news for us, because the mid-priced food here is really very good.
For a starter we split Pork and Cabbage Ravioli, three generously stuffed, rich and tasty, big pasta pillows in a brothy sauce and drizzled with white truffle oil. Debbie thought these were a bit undercooked, but I liked their chewyness, and we both agreed all the flavors worked well together. My gorgeous date then had Miso Marinated Hanger Steak with salad greens which, though unexpectedly served chilled, was tender, seasoned with restraint, an all-around success. I ordered the Curried Sea Scallops with cauliflower puree and lobster sauce, which was the best dish of the night. The four fat full-flavored scallops were perfectly cooked, standing up nicely to the curry (again, the kitchen showed welcome restraint with this often overwhelming seasoning), and the cauliflower and lobster sauce added just the right hit of sweetness.
The only disappointment of the night was the dessert—and it was a big one, considering the simplicity of the dish: the warm cookie plate. Our server warned us that since they were baked to order it would take about ten minutes, which was fine with us, so why did these arrive ridiculously raw, not to mention almost completely flavorless? I mean, c'mon... a snickerdoodle with no cinnamon!? Anyway, dessert disaster aside, the room itself is warm and homey, the staff friendly, and the whole restaurant feels familiar and comfortable, like it's been around for years. Definitely a nice night, in a nice place.

When I was five years old, I believed with my entire heart and soul that I was Christine Daae.
The first time I saw it, we still lived in Connecticut and my nana was in town and we went into the city to see it. We bought front row tickets off the street, and I am pretty sure that was my first Broadway show. Afterward, I remember getting a really bad bloody nose - but that doesn't have anything to do with this.
I was Christine for a long time after. I dressed in a majestic purple ball gown for Halloween. My mother dressed as the Phantom. In hopes of keeping me warm in the cold October in Connecticut, she forced me to wear a turtleneck underneath my ball gown. I was devastated. My mother wished to ruin me and she didn't understand that temperature would not deter my passionate desire to reveal to our neighborhood that I WAS AN INGENUE OF THE OPERA, AND A MUSE TO A DISFIGURED ANGRY MAN.
I blame my ways on my father. He is the most heterosexual man and loves showtunes more than any other human. I still have visions of him pulling into our driveway with a cigar hanging out of his mouth, and his windows down with music blaring. Because of this, my childhood was full of visits to the theater and I was probably the only first grader that knew who Sondheim was. I remember my dad driving a friend and me somewhere and he played Miss Saigon. It was like our own inside joke when she was terrified and thought there was a helicopter looming over us. No, dear child. WE ARE GOING TO SAIGON!
For a few years, Camille and I went to a small catholic school. We weren't catholic, and had not grown up in church, so our knowledge of the Bible was limited. One time, the teachers asked if anyone knew what Christmas was about. Camille, the preschooler, responded soberly and proudly: "JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR." We knew the basics because my mom, aunt, and Camille and I would perform the musical in our living room. I always fought to be Judas because he had the best songs. If you are silently judging our blasphemous family - please, do not. We knew not what we did, and I'm happy to say we all now know it be a sacrilege. (But I still know all the lyrics).
In middle school I spent my summers at musical theater camp (translation: I was the coolest). High school for me was voice lessons and chorus and musicals. I auditioned for the School of Creative and Performing Arts by singing a song from The Sound of Music while my mom waited outside the room for me. I still remember how excited I was when the acceptance letter came in the mail. Ultimately, we decided it wasn't the best direction for me at the time. I don't regret it. I'd be a very different person if I had gone. No matter, though - because it is in my blood. At any given moment, there are showtunes coursing through my veins. You may think I am just Fran, but I could be Millie Dillmount right now if I really wanted to.
Or, depending on my mood: Amneris from Aida.
After a semester in college, I met my best friend Hanna, and we quickly learned that she was also a theater nerd. (She was actually a theater major at the time). I knew that our friendship would last forever when she told me that she was Bloody Mary in her high school's performance of South Pacific. Maybe that doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but she got EIGHT spray tans so she would look native. THAT'S COMMITMENT.
My roommates and I (Hanna included) would later go on to skip a whole morning of classes so we could see RENT the day the movie came out in theaters. We practiced much restraint in not singing along to La Vie Boheme, and I'm still mad that Christmas Bells wasn't included in the movie.
I keep thinking about performing and how it's the most exhilarating thing I've ever experienced. As far as public speaking goes, it doesn't make me break out in hives or anything but I still get pretty nervous. When you're a character, though - there's so much freedom. Even though it's not a path I chose to take for the rest of my life, I love going to see shows and knowing that the actors onstage feel alive.
I know that during Defying Gravity, while everyone in the audience feels the breath escape their lungs and their hearts fall into their stomach - Elphaba knows that's what they are feeling and she and the cast and the orchestra and the sound and light technicians are making that happen.
My hope is that one day, my children and I will fight over who gets to be Elphaba or Glinda in our living room performance. You'll notice I included myself in that fight - because while I will love my children I am not giving up a great role that easily. PLEASE. (And if Bryan protests, we'll make him be Boq).
What say you about musicals? Were you in them? Do you love them? Do you find them cheesy?
Tell me!

The wind came in fast as the temperature dropped faster. It was really hot the day before, and it actually felt cold by noon the next day. That cold front brought a lot of wind. We did not have any rain, but the wind gusts were scary. Our neighbor has tall oaks in his front yard like we do. He was calling for tree removal in Nassau County early the next morning. His trees are a bit farther away from his house than ours, and it worked out well for him. Two of the four of them came down. One snapped off about 15 feet up the trunk. They were both rotten inside.

Truthless in Gaza
Post below excerpted from AWOL Civilization. See the original for links
Western journalists have a long record of collaboration with the Arab propaganda machine. Let me point to just one example with which I am familiar from personal experience. After the signing of the infamous Oslo Accords in 1993, the Western media was suppressing any news that would make the nascent Palestinian Authority look bad. This included a blackout on Arafat's belligerent posturing to the Arab world, in Arabic. Despite the peace treaty signed on the White House lawn, Arafat and his lieutenants continued to speak to their people as if the war against Israel was at its peak. One would never know this, however, from reading Le Monde or watching ABC news. (Unfortunately, this was before the advent of the blogosphere.)
I was in Israel some time later, working as a freelance journalist. I picked up a rather unusual assignment. A team of film technicians and translators had made videos of some of Arafat's Nazi-style, jihadesque speeches to the masses in Gaza. These chilling spectacles, which could make even the most hardened Arafat-watcher's hair stand on end, were translated into Hebrew and English. The team was looking for a native English speaker to present the videos to the Western media. I accepted the offer. At the outset, I was concerned that my personal safety might be endangered when the films were shown to a wide audience.
My fears were for naught. For several days, I visited with virtually the entire Western press corps in Israel: the New York Times, the BBC, Reuters, you name it. All of them courteously listened to my pitch. All of them tried to keep a poker face as they watched the video, but signs of shock expressed themselves in a rogue muscle twitch or bead of sweat. All of them responded at the end with some mumbo-jumbo such as "oh, that's just what Arafat's saying to his people; he has to do that to maintain credibility."
Sure, I said to myself. That's certainly what these journalists would say if I had shown them translations of Yitzhak Rabin making speeches in Hebrew calling for the Palestinian Arabs to be driven into the sea. Not a single one of those media outlets ran the story. The silence was deafening. Little did I realize, at the time, that this entire affair-just like al-Dura-was one more link in the long chain of media promotion of all that is anti-Western.
Hitler's Revenge
In Diana West's book, "The Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization," there is a brilliant analysis of the current Western decay. Excerpt:
And therein lies Hitler's revenge - the cultural leveling that either emerged from, or was, in some crucial way, accentuated by, natural outrage over the crimes against humanity committed by the Third Reich. Hitler, of course was totally defeated, along with his tyrannical notion of cultural (Germanic) and racial (Aryan) "supremacy."
But so, too, perhaps, were all notions of Western primacy regarding culture and race (which I take here to include nationhood) - even ones that supported, not supremacy in a murderous form, but judgment in a rational form. Grounded by notions of sovereignty and cultural affinity, such judgment determines the kids of attitudes and choices-on everything from religion to law to literature-that are expressed in cultural identity. In the case of the United States and its European allies, these attitudes and choices derive from a specifically Judeo-Christian identity forged in fire, ink, and steel by those whom our modern-day multiculturalists insultingly deride as "dead, white men."
Having failed to destroy the democracies by making Nazi war, then, Hitler may have unwittingly managed to destroy the democracies by effecting a post-Nazi peace in which the act of pledging allegiance to the flag itself, for example, would practically become an act of nationalist supremacism - racism, even; bigotry, too.
Quite sudddenly, it didn't matter whether the culture in question led to a reign of terror, or to liberty and justice for all. The act of maintaining or defending the culture, or ultimately, even defining it - whether through unabashed opposition to communist expansionism, purposefully selective immigration practices, or even sticking to the Western canon - became confused with and condemned as an exclusionary and, therefore, evil chauvinism. In this way, having won the great victory, the Allies lost the will to survive.
Having defined the ultimate evil of Nazism, not as the ultimate violation of the moral law as traditionally understood, but as the violation of liberal tolerance, postwar liberalism then set about dismantling all the existing ordinary particularisms of our own society (including, in the case of the EU, nationhood itself) in the name of preventing a resurgence of Nazi-like evil. This was the birth of political correctness, which sees any failure on our part to be completely open to and accepting of the Other - and thus any normal attachment to our own ways and our own society - as the equivalent of Nazism.
Openness and acceptance on every and any level - from personal to national, from sexual to religious - are the highest possible virtues of the postmodern Westerner. This makes boundaries and taboos, limits and definition - anything that closes the door on anything else - the lowest possible sins. Judgment, no matter how judicious, is tarred as "prejudice" and, therefore, a neobarbarous act to be repressed and ultimately suspended. Patriotism has been caricatured out of polite society as boorish warmongering. Western civilization itself, which may be taken as the product of both judgment and patriotism, has been roundly condemned for being both prejudiced and warmongering.
The overall effect has been to sap the culture's confidence in its own traditions, even - especially - in the classical liberal tradition that stiffened our spines against Hitler in the first place. The cultural anemia that began to take hold long ago has passively accepted the transformation of America the Western into America the Multicultural (and Western Europe into Multicultural Europe) as a good, or necessary, or even just inevitable thing. And thus - with the practical disappearance of the nation, or perhaps better, the culture, that defeated him - Hitler's revenge.
Leftists sometimes claim that Nazism was in some sense Christian. There is a very detailed account here showing that it was anything but. And I note that the L.A. Times is about as favourable to the Pope as Hitler was. Great socialist minds think alike.
Pakistani troops attack Taliban: "Pakistani troops have launched a counter-offensive against pro-Taliban militants in the northwest, pushing them back into forests and mountains, officials and witnesses reported overnight. The fighting has left more than 50 rebels dead in two days, according to army accounts, as security forces struck back against sweeping gains made in the scenic Swat Valley by militants loyal to a radical cleric."
Deceit comes naturally to the BBC: "The BBC has apologised for adding the sound of babies crying to its footage of quintuplets born to a Russian woman. The five girls, delivered at an Oxford hospital on November 10, are the latest individuals to be drawn into the broadcasting fakery row. The John Radcliffe Hospital distributed clips of the five babies and their parents, who defied doctors in Moscow who advised they abort some of the fetuses. While broadcasters like Sky and ITN ran clips of the footage without the audio, the BBC's footage contains the sound of children crying, even though the babies have respirators in their mouths. A spokeswoman for the Oxford hospital said: "There was no audio on our clip." "The BBC must have put it over. "I thought they weren't supposed to do things like that." A BBC spokesman said the corporation should have left the footage alone. He said: "We received the film without sound and on reflection we should have kept it that way."
Documentation of Saddam's WMD's: "Finally, there are some definitive answers to the mystery of the missing WMD. Civilian volunteers, mostly retired intelligence officers belonging to the non-partisan IntelligenceSummit.org, have been poring over the secret archives captured from Saddam Hussein. The inescapable conclusion is this: Saddam really did have WMD after all, but not in the way the Bush administration believed... The gist of the new evidence is this: roughly one quarter of Saddam's WMD was destroyed under UN pressure during the early to mid 1990's. Saddam sold approximately another quarter of his weapons stockpile to his Arab neighbors during the mid to late 1990's. The Russians insisted on removing another quarter in the last few months before the war. The last remaining WMD, the contents of Saddam's nuclear weapons labs, were still inside Iraq on the day when the coalition forces arrived in 2003. His nuclear weapons equipment was hidden in enormous underwater warehouses beneath the Euphrates River.

"Why should the German be interested in the liberation of the Jew, if the Jew is not interested in the liberation of the German?... We recognize in Judaism, therefore, a general anti-social element of the present time... In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.... Indeed, in North America, the practical domination of Judaism over the Christian world has achieved as its unambiguous and normal expression that the preaching of the Gospel itself and the Christian ministry have become articles of trade... Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist". Who said that? Hitler? No. It was Karl Marx. See also here and here and here.
The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was "The National Socialist German Workers' Party".

There are many standards and guidelines established by various organizations. These standards and guidelines are continuously being updated and scrutinized. Depending upon the development criteria of a particular organization, different values might be provided for the same item or process.
For Your Home – When it comes to your health and home, there are regulating bodies that exist to help protect both. It starts from the ground up, when your home was first built, all the way to present day and the standards and regulations that protect you and your home. Local and even state authorities inspect your home using codes such as those created by the International Code Council (ICC) to ensure building codes are being met. From the pouring of your concrete foundation (if applicable), to the framing of your home, to the proper insulation and vapor barrier requirements, it is all being inspected to ensure compliance. Within those "checks and balances" are other organizations that have been created to help in the design stage of your home. The American Society for Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) helps to establish a "Standard of Care" through the creation of ventilation and acceptable indoor air quality requirements. This directly impacts the indoor air quality in your home, and thus the air you breathe.
For more information about ASHRAE Standards relating to your office visit: http://www.ashrae.org/education/page/851
For more information about the ICC visit: http://www.iccsafe.org/news/about/
For Your Office – Like the regulating bodies that exist for your home, office buildings are also scrutinized for compliance to building codes. The International Code Council (ICC) publishes the International Building Code (IBC) which features time-tested safety concepts, structural, and fire and life safety provisions covering means of egress, interior finish requirements, comprehensive roof provisions, seismic engineering provisions, innovative construction technology, occupancy classifications, and the latest industry standards in material design. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs.
Likewise, ASHRAE also establishes a "Standard of Care" for buildings through various publications such Standard 62.1-2007, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) aims to ensure employee safety and health in the United States by working with employers and employees to create better working environments. Since its inception in 1971, OSHA has helped to cut workplace fatalities by more than 60 percent and occupational injury and illness rates by 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment has increased from 56 million employees at 3.5 million worksites to more than 135 million employees at 8.9 million sites.

For the Environment – The EPA plays a large role when it comes to protecting the environment. The EPA leads the nation's environmental science, research, education and assessment efforts. The EPA works to develop and enforce regulations that implement environmental laws enacted by Congress. The EPA is responsible for researching and setting national standards for a variety of environmental programs, and delegates to states and tribes the responsibility for issuing permits and for monitoring and enforcing compliance. Where national standards are not met, EPA can issue sanctions and take other steps to assist the states and tribes in reaching the desired levels of environmental quality.
In recent years, between 40 and 50 percent of EPA's enacted budgets have provided direct support through grants to State environmental programs. The EPA grants to States, non-profits and educational institutions to support high-quality research that will improve the scientific basis for decisions on national environmental issues and help EPA achieve its goals.
For more information about the environment and EPA's role, visit: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/aboutepa.htm
For the Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) – An Indoor Environmental Professional can be loosely defined as an individual who has met minimum qualifications and professional competencies as defined by state requirements and/or industry accepted organizations such as:
- American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) http://www.aiha.org/Content
- Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, (IICRC) http://www.certifiedcleaners.org/
- Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) http://www.iaqa.org
- American Council for Accredited Certification http://www.acac.org/
- Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO) http://www.iestandards.org/
- American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) http://www.astm.org/
Always be sure to check the credentials of those involved in IAQ testing and/or investigations. Be sure to ask for their credentials and/or affiliations/certifications. When a remediation or restoration company is involved in your project, whether it is a home or building, make sure the IEP performing the investigation is an independent third party with no business affiliation to the remediator.

Got some beer mail yesterday, from Boston, super excited. I remember offering some stuff, and sending a box with some Pliny and Almanac in it, maybe answering some questions about beer I would like generally, and here are some Trilliums and Night Shifts and a Lawson's to boot. Not bad, not bad at all.
I like to do it this way, try to remove the stress, and figure that not all trades will be awesome, and I don't have to win every trade, and that people will try to get me good beer, and the whole thing will cost me more than just going to the store but the point is trying beer from other markets.
Zen trading!
At the same time, I'm a little burnt out because it is a ton of effort.
How are you feeling about trading these days?

Top 5 Best Stainless Steel Citrus Juicer Reviews Of 2018 – Buyers Guide
Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials for kitchen tools, equipment, and appliances in the recent years. It's corrosion and rust-proof, food-grade, and easy to clean, making it the perfect material for food preparation.
They're also more affordable than other materials but can be as sturdy and reliable. This is why modern kitchens are often equipped with chrome and have a very metallic look to it because this material has already proven its worth and practicality.
This is also why it shouldn't come as a surprise that a lot of people want the best stainless steel citrus juicer for their juicing needs.
With so many options available in the market today, choosing a stainless steel juicer could be the best move for you to narrow down your choices and to find the right match for your needs.
Recommended Stainless Steel Citrus Juicers Reviews
As not every stainless steel juicer is made equal, here are a few products that I can actually recommend. All of these are certified to be of high quality and excellent performance, so you're sure that you're getting your money's worth with these items.
Top 5 Stainless Steel Citrus Juicers 2017 - In a Shortlist
- Bellemain Premium Quality Lemon Squeezer
- Epica Powerful Whisper-quiet Citrus Juicer
- Eurolux Stainless Motorized Citrus Juicer
- Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press
- Gourmia EPJ100 Citrus Press Juicer
1. Bellemain Premium Quality Lemon Squeezer
As juicers come in all shapes and sizes, you might also find yourself searching for a handheld unit that will make lemon or lime squeezing a breeze.
If you're the type who wants to make sure that they're getting every last drop of juice from their citrus fruits, squeezing them by hand will simply not cut it.
Not only because this can be difficult to do, but also because it's not enough to get all the liquids out.
With the Top Rated Bellemain Stainless Steel Squeezer, known to many as best lemon juicer, you can get the most out of your citrus slices.
This handheld squeezer will do the hard work for you and use its design to make the most out of your citrus ingredients.
It can help you whip up a few tablespoons of lemon or lime juice in a jiffy, without straining your hands or wasting a single drop of some citrusy goodness.
Made with food-grade stainless steel, this unit is especially safe for food preparation. It's very sturdy and easy to use as well.
It even has silicone handles to further lessen the strain on your hands during the juicing process. So, overall, it's a great kitchen tool and one of the best lemon squeezer that will definitely make your cooking a lot simpler and more efficient.
Easy to use and equally easy to clean, this handheld juicer is a must-have for every cook who likes to add a bit of tang and zest into their dishes. A quick squeeze of a slice or two will instantly give your food a nice kick, leaving everyone wanting for more.
2. Epica Powerful Whisper-quiet Citrus Juicer
A good example of an excellent electric stainless steel citrus juicer is this Epica product. This small kitchen appliance is a compact juicer that will help you extract juice from different citrus fruits including lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits among many others.
With a 70-watt motor, it is very powerful and will certainly get the job done. Tests have even shown that it can squeeze up to 18% more juice as compared to its manual counterparts, making it a very efficient equipment to have.
This unit's body is made of stainless steel, effectively protecting the motor inside. The other parts are made of high-quality plastic, making the entire appliance very easy to clean.
You can also be sure that parts won't easily break, crack, or chip off with proper use. These also tend to make the unit look more modern and appealing, especially for those with modern kitchens.
This product will surely fit right in, not only appearance-wise but because of its great functionality as well.
3. Eurolux Stainless Motorized Citrus Juicer
If you're not thrilled by the idea that you have to hold and press the slice of fruit while the reamer does its work to extract juice from your citrus fruits, a differently designed juicer, like this Eurolux unit, would be a better fit for you.
While it is an electric juicer, it still comes with a presser lever hand at the top of the unit so you don't have to directly handle the fruit during the juicing process.
The lever also adds stability and lessens the force you have to exert to extract the most amount of juice.
What I like about this citrus juicer is that easily assembles and disassembles every time you have to use and clean it.
There are a few parts that you can remove, including the reamer, top presser, filter, and juice catcher so you can thoroughly wash them under running water.
During assembly, all you have to do is to put and lock them into place and you're all good to go.
The stainless steel parts for this unit is its body, filter, and the outer side of the top presser. This helped make the juicer look more modern and current, ensuring that it won't look out of place in a shiny chrome kitchen.
4. Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press
What best juicer list will be complete without a Breville product in it?
In this case, the Breville 800CPXL is definitely in the running for the finest stainless steel citrus juicer for its exquisite look and great, industrial grade, performance.
The very first thing that will strike you about this juicer is its magnificent appearance. Its body is completely made of brushed stainless steel, giving it an ultra-modern vibe that will add a lot of visual interest to your kitchen counter tops.

Since it's a Breville, you can also be sure that it will last for years or even decades to come, so it will be a great investment that's bound to pay for itself in the long run.
5. Gourmia EPJ100 Citrus Press Juicer
What I like about this Gourmia product is that it comes with an active arm press. This makes juicing a lot easier as you don't have to manually handle the fruit and give it the right amount of pressure to activate the juicer.
It makes the task a lot simpler and less messy as well. Weighing just 7 lbs, this juicer is also a small kitchen appliance that can be used anywhere, as long as you have a power source nearby.
Its tiny footprint won't take up too much space in countertops or cupboards, making it a great addition to any kitchen.
With its affordable price, there's really no reason why you shouldn't give this stainless steel juicer a shot. If you're not particularly fond of its design, it can still be a great gift idea for family members and friends.
It's easily a nice housewarming, retirement, or even an engagement gift for the people you love.
Final Verdict
When it comes to food, preparing it with the right tools and equipment is essential. It also wouldn't hurt if the material of your choice is of high quality and friendly price like stainless steel.
This is especially true for juicing, so opting for a stainless steel juicer is something worth considering.
With all of the options available in your search for the best citrus juicer of stainless steel, you're guaranteed that you'll find the right match for your needs and requirements.
The five products listed above are some of the best picks you can go for, though, so make sure to give them a shot so you don't have to look far and wide for a good product that will help you improve your diet.

At least nine people were killed by Israeli naval commandos on May 31st. The raid targeted a flotilla carrying aide to Gaza which is under Israeli blockade.
The resolution by Supervisors John Avalos and Sophie Maxwell urges the president to actively seek an end to the blockade. People on both sides of the issue spoke at a public hearing in San Francisco Tuesday night.
After about 8 hours of commentary, the board only agreed to send the resolution to committee for further study.

Nothing is as magical as a wedding. The whole "new beginning" feeling, the feast, the fact that this is a celebration of love at its best – all these things make people love weddings (even when they are not the main "characters" in them).

At least for this once, you will feel like true royalty and this moment is worth every single penny and every single drop of sweat left behind during the preparations.
Your wedding gown will be worn for one night only, but that does not mean you will simply toss it away in your closet after that and forget about it completely. If you want to keep your wedding dress intact for your daughter (or simply for the sake of keeping the memories related to it as alive as possible), you should definitely follow these tips:
For more information on everything wedding-related (from caterers to wedding dresses), make sure to visit Wedding Day Exposition. There's a solution to anything that may torment you about the big day and it is more than likely that you will find it with us!

Jacquetta Hollingsworth's mother had hoped her daughter would become a nurse like her, but she found another career path in health care and became a dental hygienist.
Growing up in Harlan County, Ky., Jacquetta said nursing was a much more revered profession for women than dentistry. But her mother always worked nights because nurses with more seniority got the coveted day shifts. Planning to become a mother someday, Jacquetta wanted a more family-friendly career.
When her father's friend, a dentist who had served with him in Vietnam, asked Jacquetta to answer the phone in his office one day in a pinch, she found her calling. He trained her as a dental assistant but encouraged her to become a dental hygienist or a dentist, saying she would eventually become bored as a dental assistant.
"I worked as a dental assistant for four years, including at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry," Jacquetta said. "He was right. You're the first one in the office every day and you're the last one to leave at night."
Jacquetta earned her bachelor's degree as a registered dental hygienist at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. She is also certified in anesthesia.
She works four days a week in the Perimeter Drive office of Lexington dentist William Fain. Seventy-five percent of her patients are regulars, and she maintains a long waiting list.
Most days, she treats eight adult patients, taking X-rays, cleaning and polishing teeth, probing gums and doing preventative fillings. She checks their medical history and takes their blood pressure. If a patient's mouth is too tender for a procedure, she can numb it to prevent discomfort.
Her family includes husband Maurice Hollingsworth Jr., sons Byron, 21, and Jarice, 15, and daughter Ashanti, 13.
Jacquetta, an afterschool activities carpool mom, has coached all three of her children in sports, including basketball and fast-pitch softball. At age 44, Jacquetta still plays shortstop on her own softball team.
She also finds time to give back to the community, using her dental hygiene skills for the Salvation Army and at community outreach events sponsored by U of L.
Jacquetta's parenting and coaching experience helps her to educate and motivate her dental patients, whether they are 8 or 80 years old. She uses visual aids such as photos and illustrations to demonstrate the potential for gingivitis if patients don't floss regularly, for example.
"I'll say 'This is totally healthy gum tissue and this is gingivitis. If you don't start flossing, this is where you're going to be,'" Jacquetta said.
Although Dr. Fain is a family dentist, rather than a pediatric dentist, they treat some children, Jacquetta said.
"Pediatric patients are a little harder to deal with," she said. "You have to ease them into it."
The dental hygienist has been bitten by a young patient, but most of the time she finds a way to communicate the importance of proper dental care.
"If I have an 8-year-old who won't open his mouth, we may start by counting his teeth or talking about a reward in the treasure box."
Jacquetta truly enjoys the patient interaction her job requires.
"I love the one-on-one with my patients," she said. "I love getting to know patients and giving them the tools" they need for maintaining good oral health. "But when I leave the office at 5:30 p.m., I'm totally with my family and in mommy mode."

ANIMAL-LOVER Renee Harrison was treated to a surprise party – including a box filled with live butterflies – to celebrate her 100th birthday yesterday.
Surrounded by 50 friends, family and staff at Bridge House Care Home in Abingdon the grandmother-of-three beamed as she said she had had no idea what was being planned.
She said: "Everywhere I look I see more people smiling and wishing me a happy birthday."
Asked the secret of her long life the 100-year-old simply advised: "Take each day as it comes."
Mrs Harrison was born in London in 1917 , 'within the sound of the bells of Bow', making her a true Cockney.
She has lived in Abingdon for 55 years, having moved to the town with her husband John, known as Jack, when he went to work at Harwell as a research chemist.
The pair married in March 1945, in Gloucester, where she was evacuated during the Second World War, and had two children; Mike, 71, and Valerie, 65.
In Abingdon, Mrs Harrison worked for a solicitor and then for Abbey Press in admin roles, having a particular talent for maths.
She was also active in the Abingdon Twin Towns Society and the Harwell Retirement Fellowship.
Her daughter, who organised the party, said: "My mum is, and always has been, incredible. She is such a positive person who loves animals and living creatures, which is why we made the party butterfly-themed.
"One of her favourite places is Blenheim Palace's Butterfly House."

Here's my stunning little naughty torti He's a little over a year. And actually he's a she, but that's a long story
- Lydia from Austin, TX
1982/3 This is Puss Puss (yes, very original I know) He wandered in with my cat Leo one day & stayed, He was a proper lad. had half a day's hol from work & came home at lunch time. He was limping & I thought he had hurt his paw & attempted to take him to vets via taxi. I didn't have a proper carrier back then, so I used a suitable holdall. The zip was open enough, but he managed to get out in the taxi& I couldnt get him back in! Driver stopped car & I tried to keep hold of Puss Puss, he bit my finger; then taxidriver opened car door & he legged it. Luckily it was near to where my my Mum lived. I eventually managed to grab hold of him in someone's garden & ran to my Mum's. The next day his paw was fine. Alas, my 'paw' wasn't & I had to go to casualty to have a tetanus shot. Also,I popped into my neighbours one day & he was sat next to her Staffordshire bull terrior enjoying some best steak! She even had taken pics of them together! lol. Puss Puss didn't come home one day, I never found out what happened to him! Bless him!
- Suzanne from Glasgow, UK
Krysta is our first cat. We raised her from a kitten and will always be #1 in our hearts.
-Erin Brooks from York PA
Spiff and Charlie, they were only so-so friends with one another. But they were fantastic companions. Both are deceased. Spiff at 19years old. Charlie lived several years longer than the vet expected.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

In this article I'm going to be getting a bare-bones Jitsi Meet conference up and running inside an Angular 4 app.
If you're not familiar with Jitsi Meet, it's an open-source, community-driven video conferencing platform that securely connects users across browsers and devices.
You can access their web resource directly here
I'm also going to be Angular 4 and following on from the last post I created
How to get an Angular 4 NodeJS site up and running in minutes
So let's get started!
Assuming you have set up your project as in the previous demo …
Let's set up some directory structure inside the Angular app that we can consume our third-party JavaScript from.
Inside the src directory, create a folder called vendor, and inside the vendor folder create a child folder called jitsi
Download the JavaScript we need to get Jitsi up and running into the folder we just created by right click the below link and choosing Save Link As.
Next open the app.component.ts file in your text editor from src/app directory (C:\demos\basic-angular-4\basicAngular4\src\app in my example)
Modify the app.component.ts file so that it looks like the following
import { Component, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import '../vendor/jitsi/external_api.js';
declare var JitsiMeetExternalAPI: any;
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
export class AppComponent {
title = 'app';
domain:string = "meet.jit.si";
options: any;
api: any;
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.options = {
roomName: "JitsiMeetAPIExample",
width: 700,
height: 700,
parentNode: document.querySelector('#meet')
this.api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(this.domain, this.options);
Now we need to make sure that the JavaScript is included into the dependencies of the project, so in the project root open the .angular-cli.json file in an editor and add an entry to the scripts array
"scripts": ["vendor/jitsi/external_api.js"]
As in the previous example, we need do display our conference meeting down an a DOM element that we selected in the options here #meet
Edit the HTML template app.component.html

Welcome to {{title}}!

Now let's try running the app
Open a command prompt as Administrator and navigate to the Directory created the the Angular 4 CLI tool (in this case C:\demos\basic-angular-4\basicAngular4)
and run the command
npm start
Taking note of the host and port number (here it's localhost:4200) paste the address into a browser window and you will see your Angular 4 Jitsi Client appear.
Sorry about the picture – my girlfriend is sleeping and waking her up by getting some good lighting may be dangerous!!
If Jitsi asks to use your Camera and Mic approve as appropriate.
The source for this demo can be found at
You will need to restore the NPM packages to get the solution up and running as I haven't checked them in

Despite having to run all year round, heat pumps have pretty long lifespans—often 10 – 15 years, at least. However, as they start passing the decade mark, you may start experiencing an increase in issues, including diminished performance, higher energy bills, and more frequent breakdowns. While repairs can extend the life of your heat pump for some time, it's not a permanent solution and replacement may be necessary. At Arctic Air Conditioning, we have been helping people in Cranbury with all their heat pump services since 1977, and we have the skills and resources to help you with your replacement.
Schedule your heat pump replacement in Cranbury today by filling out the form to the left or giving us a call at 732-455-9110.
So how will you know when it's time to give up on repairs and finally opt for a replacement? Although nothing can replace the professional opinion of an HVAC expert, you can follow these general guidelines from our trained and experienced technicians:
While we're not saying you should ditch your old heat pump the day it turns 10 years old, there can be a good argument made for replacing a heat pump that gets to be over 10 – 15. Heat pump technology gets more and more efficient every day, which means newer heat pumps can save you a lot of money annually on heating and cooling costs!
See some of the highly efficient Lennox heat pumps we install »
Heat pumps are built to be durable—they need to be if they want to run all year! If your heat pump breaks down more than two or three times a year, this is usually a sign of a bigger problem that can only be solved by heat pump replacement—this is particularly true if your heat pump repair costs are increasing significantly every time. A heat pump replacement will eliminate the hassle of frequent repairs and will save you tons of money on repair costs!
If your heat pump is losing efficiency (which is determined by increased energy costs and poor performance), you can assume that it's reaching the end of its life. Sometimes a heat pump repair will fix the problem, but eventually it won't be enough. An expert HVAC tech from Arctic Air Conditioning will be able to inspect your heat pump and determine when it's time for a replacement.
As your heat pump begins to age, it will struggle to maintain a constant temperature throughout the rooms in your home. Replacing your system with a new, highly efficient system can dramatically increase your home's comfort.
Poor humidity control could be the result of poor heat pump operation, inadequate equipment, or leaky ductwork, all of which can cause the air to be too dry in the winter or too sticky and humid in the summer. Your Arctic Air Conditioning technician will diagnose the source of your problem and recommend either heat pump replacement or another technique to make your home comfortable all year round.
At Arctic Air Conditioning, we are a Dave Lennox Premier Dealer™. We believe in the integrity and quality of their products and recommend them to all of our customers. When it's time for a heat pump replacement, you can depend on a Lennox system to last for years to come.
Contact us online or by phone at 732-455-9110 to schedule your heat pump replacement in Cranbury, NJ.

What our customers have to say
"The Go To place for Meatballs"
Reviewed June 4, 2016I have eaten there once and it is the best Italian food you can get in a 100 mile radius. The meatballs are amazing. The tortellini is a crowd pleaser especially for vegetarians that cannot eat the meatballs. We also catered from them for my graduation party and they exceeded expectations, delivering all the way to Terre Haute. They set up everything nicely and the food was definitely a wow-factor for the crowd there. It is also extremely reasonably priced. Even if you live far away make the trip to Joe's, I promise it will not disappoint.
"Love it!!"
Reviewed March 15, 2016
One of my fave restaurants in town! They have friendly service and treat our family great! The spinach ravioli is a favorite of my husband, but you can't go wrong with any pasta dish. We also like that there are gluten-free options, which keeps my extended family coming back. Great little spot...Definitely recommend!
"Great Place, Great Food, Great People."
Reviewed January 29, 2016I go here all the time. One of my favorite spots for lunch and take out pizza for dinner. There beer is a great price too and they always have the game on.
Try their Pizza Bread, which is my new lunch obsession.

The real deal for small streams and tiny flies.
The Redington 3-Piece Butter Stick Fly Rod evokes days of yore when American muscle cars reigned supreme, it was safe to hitch-hike (relatively speaking), and fly fishing was still a semi-secret cult. Three slim pieces of fiberglass have a beautiful buttery hue and when acting as one, bend with polished elegance. This little piece of heaven is what you'll want in your hands when you're heading out for a mellow float n' fish on a low-flow, languid river.
Fiberglass is a classic rod material when the waters are small and the flies are smaller. The action is slow but not sloppy, letting you feel the rod unload, which is something that's sensual for seasoned anglers and essential for beginners. Should a fish bite, the Butter brings you closer to the action, sharing the sensations of head shakes and runs almost as though you were the fish.
The low-weight rod options give you the ability to finesse small casts and sweet rolls with a hopper or dry fly. Long-time anglers could probably put a leech or bugger on the 5wt and hit the bulls-eyes with little difficulty. High-grade cork makes the grip great, whether you choose the half well or cigar shaped handle. Three pieces makes the Butter beautiful to transport, and alignment dots leave little room for error. Small streams, tiny flies, and the pure pleasure of being outside on the water is when you'll want the Butter.

Have questions about this product?
Bought it twice
I gifted this to my brother because he did not want to give mine back. Love the 3wt!
Slick 2wt
I picked up the 6'2" 2wt. to have as a truck rod I keep it fully rigged with a Redington zero reel and rio lt lite line in a tube in the work cap of my truck. This rod is sweet buttery goodness! The action is as slow as expected from fiberglass which I find a pleasure to cast. The distances that it will fish will depend on casting ability, but it truly is a 20-35 foot rod. It surely is not made for wind! I have put a few larger lake run bows in the 17-18" range on it and it was a hell of a fight, but this is not it's purpose as it is my 4-10" native brookie rod. If your on the fence about one, just do it! They are great little rods
The presentation of dry flies with this rod is awesome. It's fun to fish smaller creeks and rivers with. The 3 wt 7 ft is perfect for those sunny summer evenings, throwing hoppers to hungry fish. I'm excited to be able to bring it backpacking this summer, should be fun to fish in some of those high Uinta Lakes.
The Famous Little Guy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
No question that I've found out why this is such a favorite for smaller streams. I picked up the 6'6" for times when my 8 or 9' isn't necessary for the small waters and tight spots. It's a fantastic value, the color is dead-on (buttery or butterscotch, you pick, either way don't doubt the photos--it's sweet looking) classic sort of a retro style with durable smooth cork handle and love the sliding ring reel seat that mine came with, great flex when pulling in the smaller guys but can handle the occasional bigger catch. My friend, an experienced fly fisherman here in Utah, gave it a try and said this allows him "to get into fishing holes that are hard to get into, surrounded by trees and bushes....I can cast it with precision accuracy." It's true, I've seen it.
My go-to small stream rod for life.
100% fun with no saturated fat!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I own both the 6'2" 2wt and the 7' 3wt. These rods are so fun to fish. The presentations of dry flies will amaze you. The water barely moves, and then... WHAM! TROUT ON! The 2wt is perfect for small water and native fish. The 3wt is great for slightly bigger water and high alpine lakes. If you are on the fence about buying a Butter Stick, just buy it. I promise it will be the only rod you grab on the way out the door.
Redington butter stick 6' 6" 4wt flyrod
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Picked up this rod so I can fish hobble creek and little streams. This rod is amazing! I don't have to worry about snagging on trees and being a glass rod I can cast my fly right where I want it to go.
Buttery Smooth Casts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this rod. I picked it up in order to fish some high mountain streams for little trout and couldn't be happier. It is super fun to cast and is really awesome. I love the buttery orange color it has and the simplicity of the set up is really great. I paired it with a redington zero reel and the combo is awesome. I would highly suggest this rod to anyone looking to fish for some smaller trout and wants something simple and easy to cast.
Great Rod
Couldn't be happier with my 7ft Redington Butter Stick. This series of glass sets the bar to all other competitors. It's easy casting ability and length make it my go to rod for small creeks and high Unita lakes. Paired with the "Rise" series reel, this set up will be with me for delicate presentation of dry flies and even fishing small nymphs. Thanks Redington for keeping my lines tight!
Glass is alive and well
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is an absolutely fantastic little fiberglass rod in my opinion. I have the 7' 3wt paired up with the Redington Zero reel loaded with RIO Trout LT line which is an almost perfect combo.
Butter Stick is not just a clever name, this rod is very soft. The delicate nature of the fiberglass rod makes roll casting light nymph rigs and precisely presenting tiny dries very easy. The only times that this rod does not perform well is in the wind or trying to throw big bugs or make long casts. Definitely made for short range, simple presentations.
Best used for catching small fish in small streams, don't let the soft nature fool you, I've landed 20" fish on this after a long hard fought battle.
I highly recommend picking one of these up for your quiver.

Dry Fly Champ!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've got the 7' 3wt and paired this with the Zero reel loaded with Sharkwave Ultimate Trout Taper. It's the obvious choice for small streams or when heads are up and drys are producing results. Perfect presentations and solid short range accuracy make this a great rod to grab when fish are spooky. Everyone needs to have one in their collection.
So Fun
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This rod is so much fun to fish with. Great for high country creeks and lakes. It is super easy for any beginner to pick up and learn to cast a dry fly. Also hard to overset the hook on a fish because it is so buttery! One of the best additions to my quiver that I have made in a long time!
Perfect in the High Uintas
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my go to in the smaller waters but have also landed some nice sized fish on bigger waters... accurate casts and fun playing the fish on this rod!
soft presentation
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I am not a subtle guy, just ask any girl I've ever hit on :P, but fishing with this rod noticeably improved my presentation (switched from 5 wt graphite rod). I got the 7' 3wt for getting in small streams, going after brookies. Beautiful for bow and arrow casts, and I still have no problem sending 30-40 ft casts accurately.
One thing I did notice, the dots at the connections between segments do not line up between the top and middle, but the thing performs like a dream so I can't really complain about a dot.
Excellent for mountain lakes/streams
Nick, for mountain lakes... what length are using?
I have the 7ft 3 wt. Didn't see any reason to go shorter than that.
casting to small brookies
Small Streams Big Fun
I have the Butter Stick in a 7 ft 3 wt. with a Redington Drift reel and RIO Trout LT weight forward line and it is so much fun on small streams. This set up really excels at shorter casts and laying down your fly with a "light touch" , get it? 'Cause the line is the Trout Light Touch?
This rod doesn't need a heavy front taper to the line, there is so much action in the rod that using a long front taper or a double taper line would pair well with this. This is my new go to rod when following little blue lines around on a map.
Short enough to stay out of overhanging trees or brush delicate enough not to spook your target fish. The 3 wt is a perfect dry fly rod for throwing midges, caddis, small hoppers, BWO's and really any dry you have in your box.
A ton of fun on the butterstick!
It's Like Butta Baby!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fiberglass rods are making a strong comeback in the fly fishing world. Redington was wise enough to jump on the wagon with their Butter Stick rod. I have the 8' 5wt and don't want to even think about using another rod. The rod is a great all day rod. I can throw tiny tricks in the morning, hoppers and the like in the middle of the day, and wholly buggers as it gets dark. I can do all of this on one rod. Granted....if I want to chuck some major meat at night I would need a different rod, but for most of the local SEPA streams I fish it is perfect.
The rod is a great yellow color with beautiful orange wraps. The reel seat is stunning.....everything about this rod screams quality. It has that awesome vintage vibe and it really stands out when you match it with an old school reel.
The rod is a nice medium action and is a pleasure to cast. I know this is not the most expensive rod out there by any means, but it is a pleasure and joy to fish with. Join the fiberglass revolution and grab a butterstick!
I did not realize I had water on my GoPro lens until it was to late.....but you can see the bend of the rod as I am wrestling with a decent rainbow.

Glass Is Not Dead!!!!
I absolutley love this glass rod!
