|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
No Kevin Garnett? No problem for the Boston Celtics, who made the Heat look like high school players trying to keep up with the big boys on the court. The Celtics blew by the Heat to take a two-game lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs on Tuesday night with a blowout win by a 106-77 final score.
The question going into Tuesday's clash was who was going to fill the shoes of Kevin Garnett, who was serving his one-game suspension for elbowing Quentin Richardson in the head during Saturday night's game. Glen Davis got the call to start in place of Garnett over Rasheed Wallace (the right choice in my mind). Davis did just what he needed and more with the big shoes that he had to fill. "The Ticket Stub" (a nickname Davis gave to himself after filling in for KG, aka "The Big Ticket," in last year's playoffs) finished the night with 23 points and eight rebounds.
However, he was not the only star performer for Boston. Ray Allen came up huge for the Celtics after a less than spectacular game one on Saturday. Ray had 25 points in Game 2, spotlighted by going 7-9 from beyond the three-point line.
With the efforts of Davis and Allen, the rest of the Celtics did not have to do much but be back-up role players. Don't get me wrong though, the rest of the team played well too, especially on defense. Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins both had 13 points with Perk grabbing 9 rebounds as well. Rajon Rondo had eight points, but also dished out the ball for 12 assists on the night.
The bench mainly featured Rasheed Wallace, Tony Allen, Michael Finley, and Sheldon Williams, as they all tried to help fill in for the Garnett-less Celtics. Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels only came in towards the end of the fourth quarter to play some garbage minutes after the game was well over.
So, did anything spectacular really happen for the Heat in this one? Not really. Dwayne Wade proved that he is pretty much the only reason that Miami is even in the playoffs. Despite how good Wade is, he wasn't even enough to take on the Celtics. Wade finished the night with 29 points, but showed how tired he was in the fourth quarter after just chucking up some three pointers and missing badly to try to bring his team back into it. Michael Beasley (13 points, 7 rebounds) and Mario Chalmers (10 points) were the only other Miami players to reach double figures in scoring.
The Celtics were dominant start to finish in this game. The game was tied at 23 at the end of the first quarter, but at halftime the C's were able to hold Miami to only 10 points in the second quarter to give them a 49-33 lead. The Celtics also out rebounded the Heat 50-33. Yes, that's correct…the Celtics out-rebounded another team by 27, including a 10-6 advantage on the offensive boards. Where was all that during the regular season?
Perhaps Kevin Garnett's suspension got the Celtics thinking blowout going into this one. They had two huge runs in both the second and third quarters of 21-0 and 18-0 respectively. They led by as much as 33 and only committed 14 fouls. It was nothing but an all-around great night of basketball for the Boston Celtics.
The Celts will look to continue this momentum down in Miami for Game 3 on Friday night. Kevin Garnett will return to action and will most likely hear a lot of boos from the Miami fans, just as Quentin Richardson did during Game 2 every time he touched the ball. Not to try and jinx the Celtics, but only 14 teams have ever come back to win a playoff round after being down 2-0 in a best of seven series.

Can an employer force you to use vacation time for mandatory days off?
Question Details:
The doctor that I work for has us all still work when she is out of the office. Catch up time. But all of a sudden she is making the techs all take 4 days off and use there paid time off meaning they won't have any vacation or sick time by April. But only them no one else in the office. Can they do this?
I know that this seems harsh but it is probably legal. First of all, the majority of employment arrangements are "at will". Meaning that an employer can hire or fire someone for any reason or no reason. it can also increase/decrease salary/hours, promote/demote, and generally impose requirements as they see fit. Absent something in the nature of an employment agreement, or a union contract, or a stated company policy this holds true (or if some type of discrimination is a factor).
More specifically, while employees generally see vacation as an automatic condition of employment that can use as they see fit, the law doesn't see it this way. The fact is that vacations are not legally required. To the extent that an employer institutes such a policy it is a voluntary benefit and as such the employer can design it any way it chooses. This includes when and whether to allow an employee to take this time.
Though many states have a use it or lose it policy, your employer cannot simply make the decision for you. Further, to make arbitrary decisions (between different types of employees) appears to be discriminatory though techs may require certain paid time off due to either union or medical organization bylaws or by the type of contract under which they are employed. Bottom line, there may be enough in what you described to at least file an inquiry with your state's wage and hour division (usually labor department) but absent additional material, the inquiry may not go very far.
I am assuming that you do not work in a unionized office. If this is the case, the only possibilities for change in what is going on would be through your employment contract, if one exists, or by negotiation with your employer.
If enough people are involved and you are not afraid of being terminated for complaining, it might be helpful to have a meeting with your employer to see if an accomodation can be reached.
If you are an employee at will, the employer can set the rules and policies and if you are not happy with them, you will need to look for other work.
You might want to check with the state department of labor and the federal wage and hour people to see if there is a violation of state or federal law involved in the conduct being practiced by your employer. If not, your alternative if nothing can be worked out with the employer would be to quit your job.
If you were to voluntarily quit, you probably would not be entitled to unemployment benefits so you should be sure to have another job lined up before you make a decision to confront the employer about your dissatisfaction with the use of vacation days that is occuring.

Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence
Prevalence of Cognitive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
Stephen Rao explains that professional opinion has changed over the years. Recent studies show that cognitive dysfunction in MS patients is very high. It ranges from anywhere from 43 to 65%. However, all the studies use clinic attendees, people who are getting regular care from their neurologist. But people in the community who have a milder form of the disease are not regularly cared for and are not inclued in these studies. A Rao study in 1991 using a community-based sample found a lower percentage.

At Millennium Pest Control we often undertake regular cleaning of areas that are unfortunately littered with used Needles.
Removal of sharp objects such as syringes and needles needs to be done as safely as possible due to the high risk they pose with regards to infectious diseases. They are often found within public areas such as toilets, in derelict houses and squats, usually inhabited by illegal drug users.
These photos show a recent 'nest' which is the common name for users that frequent hidden and enclosed locations amongst the general public, they require being dealt with and sanitised immediately to reduce risks to health. Often we will also find human waste, blood and vomit within the same areas.
We are all at risk to disease and these services should most definitely be left to the professionals.
Whilst attending a routine inspection at a contracted customers farm our technician Steve came across this large infestation of mealworm within the roof space of the buildings.
Mealworms prefer warm, dark and damp locations and will feast upon fresh or decaying matter, hence the farm building being the perfect location for them.
The mealworms are larvae of the Darkling beetle and live to eat and grow until they have enough energy stored to begin the transformation into pupae and then into the beetle.
Our technician Steve attended an office building recently to eradicate an infestation of Carpet Moths.
The video shows the residual insecticide spray being applied and immediately you can see the activity of the Carpet Moths increase as they become agitated by the flushing agent within the chemical.
A 4 hour period after treatment is required to allow time for the chemical to dry before access to the premises can be allowed.
These pests can rapidly multiply in numbers and can cause huge financial damage to properties if left untreated.

Pomegranates are pretty much the perfect fruit. First of all, they're completely gorgeous. They have a unique flavor all their own. And the fact that poms are packed with cancer-fighting antioxidants and a vitamin profile other fruits envy? Bonus points. But hurry--this superfood is only in season until the end of January, so start on these four recipes now. And don't forget this important purchasing tip: The heavier the fruit, the riper it'll be.
- Pomegranate Parfait: Pomegranate arils (seeds) make a tasty addition to yogurt–not only are arils crunchy and sweet, they're packed with fiber to curb cravings and rev metabolism. Layer 1/4 cup protein-packed nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp of granola, 1 tbsp of slivered almonds and 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds. Repeat for one or two more layers and then devour.
Pomegranate Salsa: Next time you're having friends over, try this unique pomegranate salsa as an appetizer; it's loaded with superfoods like goji berries, cantaloupe and avocado. If the ingredient list has you going "Say what?" hear this: You'll get tons more fiber and protein than in traditional salsa, which means you'll be less likely to overeat when dinnertime rolls around. Plus, it'll be a conversation starter. Serve with whole-grain tortilla chips for a nice crunch.
- Pomegranate Vinaigrette: Antioxidants never tasted this good! Give your salad a superfood makeover with this deliciously healthy vinaigrette adapted from foodnetwork.com. Simply combine 2 tbsp greek yogurt, 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 3 tbsp pomegranate juice, 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Drizzle over an arugula, aril, goat cheese and almond salad or over fresh salmon, chicken or shrimp. The tangy flavors will pop with sweet or savory dishes, so the possibilities are endless.
Pomegranate Smoothie: Add a hefty dose of Vitamin K, potassium, fiber and antioxidants to your morning ritual with this creamy pomegranate smoothie. In a blender, combine 1 1/2 cups of low-fat milk, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 sliced and frozen ripe banana, 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds and a dash of vanilla. If you're feeling especially healthy, throw in a handful of spinach–we promise you won't even taste it!

Highly Recommended
From Luke Simpson of Kitchener, Ontario on 1/11/2013.
Works wicked good. Really happy with this purchase and Homebrew Heaven in general.
Awesome Equipment
From TimFoss of Everett, Washington on 7/13/2012.
I brewed beer for about a year and a half without a wort chiller and I am so glad I finally bought one! Great craftmanship! Great price!
5/26/2013 – 1. what are the dimensions of the stainless wort chiller? OD, hgt to top of coil, hgt to bottom of each horizontal arm?2. can coil be 'compressed' to allow risers to be combined in single pot lid cutout?3. can horizontal portion of risers be made to be at the same height?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Outer diameter of the chiller coil bundle is 10.5 inches. Height to the bottom of tallest horizontal arm is approx 13".New design of the stainless chiller has both water-in/out arms in the same location (like current copper chiller pic) vs old design with each arm located 180 degrees from each other. The water-out arm is designed to . . .
3/6/2013 – I was toying with the idea of modifying your wort cooler to be used to replace my copper HERMS coil in my HLT. What is the OD/ID and diameter of this coil? Thanx
Response From Homebrew Heaven: This chiller is currently 10.5" wide x 11.5" tall. The tubing size is 3/8"
11/30/2012 – on a wort chiller does the water intake need to circulate through the bottom first or from top down? Also an old friends dad from when I was young made an very good home brew and he used raisins in his wort. he said that when the raisins became plump and floated the beer was ready to bottle. What is your opinion of why he used the raisins? . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: On an immersion chiller, it makes little (or no) difference which way the water circulates. What matters is the surface area of the chiller and the water temperature.The raisin idea is hogwash from a bygone era.
4/6/2012 – What is the length of the stainless wort chiller?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: 25 feet long.
5/17/2010 – what is your phone number?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can be reached at (425) 355-8865Our toll free order number is (800) 850-2739
5/6/2009 – Have you ever thought about adding a small aquarium type pump (say 6 gpm, $20) to the chiller and submersing it into a tub or large pot of ice water and re-cirulating the water. Not that I am trying to save water, but I would think re-circulating the ice water would cool the wort even more quickly and if need be, you only need to add more . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, you can do that. Some brewers in very hot areas find it helpfull, since their tap water never really gets cold. I DO think that 6 gpm would not be anywhere sufficient however. What you gain in cooling with ice water, you would lose in water volume through the chiller.
11/2/2008 – what's the difference between an indoor and out door chiller.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The indoor chiller is has flexible tubing on each end that allows easy connection to a kitchen faucet, and to drain down the sink. Good for when you are using the kitchen stove for boiling your beer.The outdoor model is rigid, that allows connection of two garden hoses for the water in and out. Good if you have an outdoor (propane) cooker . . .
4/1/2008 – I am looking to begin homebrewing and I plan on doing both extract and grain brewing. I would rather not have to invest in some stuff now and then have to "upgrade" later, so my question is what would you recommend as the optimal setup and how much would it cost? For example, should I get a brewpot with a spigot? Thanks! Your site is really . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The question "optimal setup" is a tough one to answer. It can be different for every brewer. Things like desired budget, batch size and desired beer styles make a single answer impossible.Stepping up to all-grain requires some equipment, most likely a larger brewpot. To ME (maybe not to you!), it is easier and more productive to make 10 . . .
1/26/2008 – I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, we have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Everett, WA. People actually walk in and buy stuff!Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204Heck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will actually answer as long as it's business hours!
1/13/2008 – I just used my new wort chiller for the first time. I love the fact that 10 minutes later, it was cool enough to put in the fermenter. However, I have always used the method of boiling 3 gals and chilling 2 gals and then mixing in the fermenter after the 3 gals of wort was done. Now with the wort not being boiling and being exposed to air . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I would say you are obsessing. Provided you get your yeast in there promptly there is little danger of contamination.Since you now have a wort chiller however, why not IMPROVE your brewing process? By this, I mean boil more wort! Yes, it will take a larger brewpot, but doing a full boil (not a concentrated one) will improve your beer. . . .
12/13/2007 – I am new to this as most seem to be... Just ordered an outdoor chiller, do I need to hook anything up to the outlet side of the chiller or just let the water run out of the other end?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No need to hook anything up, most people don't. Some like to USE that hot water coming out to help clean up their equipment. Once it cools down, some people use it to water their gardens too...waste not want not!
4/29/2007 – In answering another question, you said that the indoor wort chiller is about 10-11" in diamter. Can you be more specific? My brew pot's inside diameter is 10 7/8" so I am not sure your chiller will fit.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: They are 10" in diameter.
4/6/2007 – Before using a wort chiller for the first time how should you clean it and also after removing from the wort how should you clean it and store it.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: With this type of wort chiller (immersion type) cleaning and sanitation is a breeze. For cleaning, as long as there are no oils, crud etc, just rinse it off with water before using it. It get immersed in boiling wort prior to the end of the boil. That sanitizes it. Easy. After using it, just rinse with water again to remove any wort from the . . .
3/19/2007 – I'm looking for a good SS brewpot, preferrably 7.5 gallons. I have a question about the best way to transfer the hot wort through a plate&frame wort chiller into a stainless fermenter. Should I:A) Pour the hot wort into the fermenter, gravity drain from fermenter through the chiller and back into the brewpot, then pour the chilled wort . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I would definately go with B). Why transfer twice, when it's unnecessary to do so?Just a bit of advice...if you are using a plate and frame type wort chiller, sometimes it takes a fair amount of pressure (or in your case, elevation) in order to get the wort thru the chiller. I would try to determine how much, and get sufficient hose to . . .
3/6/2007 – Are you able to tell me (and everyone) how much liquid your immersion wort chillers actually displace? I saw a related question, but didn't see any exact figures. I'm interested in the standard 5 gallon size (the small one).
Response From Homebrew Heaven: OK. For a standard immersion chiller (3/8" diameter copper, 25 feet long) here is my theoretical take on it:Volume of chiller = (pi * r2) * length of tubing = .1104466 * 300 inches = 33 cubic inchesVolume of water displaced by chiller = 33 cubic inchesThere are 231 cubic inches of water in one . . .
11/15/2006 – OK, I did something dumb. I pitched the yeast while the batch was still in excess of 100 deg F. I'm worried that I killed the yeast. I pitched it right after transferring, because I don't have a wort chiller, so I transfered from my brewpot, to the primary in an attempt to cool it down.There is no visible fermentation or bubbles comming . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It's possible, but not likely. It really depends on HOW high of a temperature the yeast actually saw, and for how long. 100 deg F is no problem. 250 deg F is. Personally, I would wait a day or so to see if there is activity in the airlock. If not, add some more yeast.Another good reason for a wort chiller. We don't recommend them to sell . . .
11/5/2006 – I live in Seattle, can I come and pick up the bottles in Everett? Do you have a "brick and mortar" store?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You sure can. It is literally made of bricks and mortar, in South Everett. Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204425-355-8865Hours are 10am-6:30pm Monday-Friday and 10am-5pm on Saturdaysand 10am-3pm on Sundays
11/2/2006 – How does a wort chiller work?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: An immersion chiller like this one goes into the boil in the last few minutes. As soon as you turn off the heat, you start running cold water thru the chiller. In 20 minutes or so, your wort will be about room temperature, and ready for yeast. Easy. Think of it as a big heat exchanger.
10/19/2006 – When I use a wort chiller is it best to stir wort slowly while the water runs through it, or, just leave the lid on and let it do it's thing? Best web site out there (and I've seen a few).
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It might cool a little quicker by stirring, but not much...Frankly, I just leave it alone. This is a good time to clean up (using the hot water that comes from the chiller), sanitizer your fermenter, airlock etc.
9/20/2006 – Unfortunately, due to a lack of necessary ice and time constraints of when I was finished brewing, my wort was still above 100 degrees when I gave up waiting for it to cool and pitched the yeast in the interest of sleep.I understand that the yeast could be killed and not work. Is it safe to add more yeast tomorrow once 48 hours have passed . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: That's why we recommend a wort chiller.Yes, it's ok to throw more in the next day if necessary.No, it is unlikely your beer is ruined. It could happen, but it's unlikely.
2/23/2006 – How many feet of tubing are there in Model #c44 (coil) & exit stems.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There is 25 feet of either copper or stanless steel tubing used altogether in the wort chiller (coil and stems).
1/15/2006 – I am preparing to buy my first brew kit and step into the wonderful world of brewing. With that being said, is there a specific size kettle i need to fit into the wort chiller? I assume you put the chiller around the kettle and run cold water through it. If you could run me through the process of using the chiller that would be great. thanks . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Welcome to our world!Actually, the wort chiller goes inside the brewpot (kettle) in the last few minutes of the boil. This sterilizes the wort chiller. After you turn the heat off, you begin running cold water thru the wort chiller. This cools down your wort (beer) so that it can be put into the fermenter, and the yeast can then be added. . . .
11/24/2005 – Great, informative site by the way. I have been brewing for about 1 year with success, a wort chiller would be very benificial at this time, however I am confused. Why do you want to put the wort chiller in the boil 15 minutes prior? As you state, It would go in to sterilize, wouldn't you need it sterile before you put in anyway?Thanks.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Good question. Actually, the boiling wort does the sterizing for you. No need to do it twice, is all. As long as your immersion wort chiller isn't disgustingly dirty, the boiling wort will save you from having to sterilize the chiller. That isn't so with the counterflow type chillers, but it is with the immersion type (where you run cold . . .
7/27/2005 – I'm planning on buying a kit for this winter but I cant decide which wort cooler to get.I will be brewing in my basement so I dont mind the mess and it looks like it would cool faster with a hose.Are there any drawbacks from using an outdoor one indoors?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Not at all. They both cool at the same rate, however.
5/2/2005 – What differnt kinds of wort chillers do you carry, and what are the price ranges.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Immersion, counterflow and plate type wort chillers. You can see them and the pricing by clicking below.
4/11/2005 – What is the difference between the indoor and outdoor wort chiller?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The outdoor version is for use with an outdoor cooker, and has standard garden hose connectors on each end. The indoor version has clear PVC tubing on each end to make it easier to connect to a kitchen faucet, and to drain the water down the sink. It is typically used if you are brewing on a kitchen stove.
2/1/2005 – Where can I buy the hops to brew the beer? I live in Plainview, Texas....would love to brew my own. But, I need the ingredients to brew it. will buy your equipment, so....where can I buy the goodies to brew it?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Right here! We have a large selection of hops, yeasts, grains and everything you need in the way of ingredients. Here is a link:A good way to get started is to choose one of our ingredient (recipe) kits. They get you started the right way!
1/25/2005 – What is the proper way to use a basic wort chiller? Place it in the boiling wort and run cold water though it OR place it in a sink of ice water and run the wort though it into the primary fermenter? I've seen it done both ways.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: With a common (immmersion) wort chiller, you place it in the boiling wort, turn off the heat, and run cold water thru the chiller. Very easy.There is another type, called a counterflow wort chiller where the wort runs thru the copper tubing, and an outside water jacket carriers water in the opposite direction. Perhaps that is what you . . .
11/17/2004 – What is a wort chiller also why is it needed for home brewing?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A wort chiller is a device for quickly cooling your wort (beer) from boiling, down to room temperature. It is handy because 5 gallons of wort takes a long time to cool off, and while it is warm it is suseptible to bacterial infection. A quick cooling also benefits the beer by giving it a better, longer lasting head.
10/25/2004 – I've brewed on a 10 barrel system and using a heat exchanger seems to be the quickest way to cool your wort and pitch your yeast during the transfer (approx. 5 min after starting transfer). This way you get a better mix with your yeast and wort as well. I was thinking of converting a draft box (jockey box) into a wort chiller/heat exchanger. . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It seems like a lot of work and expense, especially when you can get a wort chiller very inexpensively. You'd probably have to pump the wort through it as well. Sanitizing would also become a nightmare.An immersion type chiller does the same job. Saving 10 minutes certainly isn't worth it to me.
10/25/2004 – I'm considering buying a nice big brewpot. I boil my wort outside, and would like to start using a wort chiller to improve my beer. My problem is that I have no good "dumping area" for the wort chiller water outflow. My question; Have you ever heard of anyone draining their wort through a regular copper wort chiller which sits in a bucket . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I suppose this could be done, but I see at least one problem...sanitizing the chiller after use. By running the wort thru the inside, it would difficult to sanitize it well afterwards. Also, with no pressure on the wort, it would drain very, very, very slowly. The fittings issue could be worked out by getting a 1/2"NPT to garden hose adapter.Are . . .
9/20/2004 – I am ready for the next piece of equipment, a wort chiller. However, my kitchen faucet is anything but standard, i.e. no threads at all. What do you recommend?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Use it outdoors! Both the indoor and the outdoor models have standard (garden hose) connections, so take your pot outside, connect it to your hose, and turn on the water.
8/18/2004 – With your wort chiller does it just hook up to a garden hose or what water source do you hook it to?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, you can do it that way. It will screw onto a garden hose...OR with a faucet adapter, you can use your kitchen faucet to supply the cold water.
7/28/2004 – I have never used a wort chiller, I always add my apprx. 2 gallons of wort to 3 gallons of cold water in my carboy and take a temperature reading making sure that we are between 100 and 90 degrees before adding yeast. I don't think I have ever had a problem doing it this way. Why should I buy a wort chiller?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You are doing a "concentrated boil" (less than 5 gallons). This concentrated, sugary mixture will easily carmelize with heat, causing a darkening of the beer, as well as a poor breakdown of the malt sugars. Without a good breakdown, the yeast will have difficulty fermenting them. The result then is a high ending gravity, sweetness to the beer . . .
4/29/2004 – I'm confused about what a wort chiller does. How exactly does it work and why is it important?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A wort chiller is used to cool your boiled beer (wort) down to about room temperature prior to adding the yeast, (the beginning of fermentation). With immersion wort chillers, you just place the wort chiller into the wort toward the end of the boil. Once you turn off the heat, you run cold water thru it thereby cooling your entire batch. Wort . . .
3/20/2004 – Recently I read about cleaning/sanitizing the inside coils of the wort chiller. This seems no sense to me, as it never contacts the wort, only the outside of the chiller. Or am I reading these articles wrong?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There are two different types of wort chillers, immersion chillers and counterflow chillers. With immersion chillers, you are correct. The wort only contacts the outside of the coils, and there is no need to sanitize them. Only water goes thru the coil itself.With counterflow type chillers, there are actually two coils. The wort actually . . .
12/21/2003 – Are there any advantages/disadvantages of using a wort chiller vs. pouring a thicker wort (prepared with only a portion of the water) into the remaining chilled water?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Absolutely. 1) The thicker, concentrated wort does not break down the malt and hops as well as a thinner wort. You will notice better hop utilization and lower ending gravity the first time you use a wort chiller.2) Additionally, the head retention on your beer will be better3) It will be less suseptable to contamination from ice . . .
12/21/2003 – Hey, What's the difference between indoor & outdoor wort chillers? Why would I want one as opposed to the other?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The indoor chiller is has flexible tubing on each end that allows easy connection to a kitchen faucet, and to drain down the sink. Good for when you are using the kitchen stove for boiling your beer.The outdoor model is rigid, that allows connection of two garden hoses for the water in and out. Good if you have an outdoor (propane) cooker . . .
11/17/2003 – I have a couple of questions about your indoor wort chiller. I am new to brewing and have not used one yet only ice baths so far. Does it go on the inside of the boil pot or the out side. If the insides does the heat kill all the germs. How much to ship to Tennessee zip code 37069
Response From Homebrew Heaven: An immersion wort chiller goes on the inside of the brewpot. Most people put it in about 10-15 minutes prior to the end of the boil, in order to sterilize the copper coils. After turning off the heat, you run cold water thru the chiller. Shipping runs $7.78 to Tennessee.
10/18/2003 – Is it possible to convert an indoor wort chiller to an outdoor one? What about an outdoor to an indoor? I would like to be able to use the chiller both indoors and out.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: If you intend to use both indoors and outdoors, I would get the indoor model. It has a hose fitting on one end, and the discharge end is vinyl tubing. No need to convert, as long as you don't mind spraying the water nearby.
9/29/2003 – What exactly is the difference between an indoor and an outdoor wort chiller coil?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Just the end fittings. The outdoor has standard hose connectors on both ends of the copper coil. The indoor model has some vinyl tubing attached so that it can be brought up to your kitchen faucet. On the discharge side, it is (again) vinyl tubing so that it can be conveniently drained down your sink.
8/12/2003 – What diameter of tubing is used in these wort chillers, and what is the length of tubing used. How low should the wort be in a 7.5 gallon pot to allow for the water displacement.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We use 3/8" diameter copper tubing, 25 feet long. You will find that it displaces very little water...maybe an inch or two in a 7.5 gallon pot. No problem with a 5 gallon batch. I like to start off with about 6 gallons total to allow for evaporation in the boil, and still have plenty of room for the wort chiller.
6/23/2003 – Is it worthwhile to spend the extra money for a wort chiller, given that I am a total amateur to beer brewing? I get the sense that it cuts down on the amount of time needed to brew a batch, and reduces the chances that it will spoil. Is this accurate or am I on the wrong track?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You are correct... it reduces the brewing time, reduces chances of infection, and also helps to give your beer a nice head.In short, to me, it's worth it. A wort chiller isn't essential, but it IS a nice item to use. Sooner or later, you will probably want one. If budget is an issue, get it later.
6/14/2003 – How important is a wort chiller? Is it just for lagers or is it for both?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A wort chiller is used for both ales and lagers. It is used to cool your boiled beer (wort) down to about room temperature prior to adding the yeast, (the beginning of fermentation). Wort chillers are handy tools because they allow you to begin the process sooner. It also minimizes the chance of bacteria getting into, and ruining your beer. . . .
6/8/2003 – I am completely new to beer brewing. What is the difference between an indoor and outdoor wort chiller?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The indoor chiller is designed to screw into your kitchen faucet, and to drain down the sink. The outdoor model is designed to work with two garden hoses.

text: WILMINGTON, Del., March 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet Game Exchange ( IGXE) has revealed its plan to building the largest RMT (Real-money Trade of Virtual Items) shopping mall in 2013, aimed at the global RMT market. As a reputable and major virtual trading platform through the past 10 years, IGXE a company with a sound infrastructure combined with advanced management concepts and strong comprehensive strength, will soon start its sweeping development plan for this year. Shopping Mall Mode Debut When it comes to how a RMT business operates, people who know the industry understand its basic rules. Every gold seller describes his or herself as "Full stock all the time, instant delivery, 24/7 online customer service, 100% secure guaranteed". "Actually the reality is not as good as what they described," said Kevin Fenn, the Chief Executive Officer of IGXE. "We understand the rules and the hidden rules very well, and to solve the problems we are consistently improving the service and supplying our customers' wants and needs." Like other RMT dealers, IGXE has been supplying in-game goods such as in-game currency, in-game items, game time cards and game role leveling services. Most RMT suppliers have limited resources and commonly have a maximum of 30 games to serve. However, by teaming up with a large scale of suppliers, IGXE is now serving more than 100 games and growing. The huge product base is the cornerstone of the IGXE shopping mall mode transition. The key focus of the shopping mall mode is on the product range and a standardized service line. "We have full confidence on building IGXE as the largest RMT Shopping Mall," said Mr. Fenn. One Team Fight for the Dream IGXE has always worked on the perfection of team building. In the past couple of years, IGXE has undergone structural adjustments a number of times. Team members have an intimate knowledge of the work of each other, helping them remain stable for better team work. "As the CEO of the IGXE team, I learned how critical it is to make every member of the team feel themselves very important, included, and motivated to be the best team we could possibly be," said Mr. Fenn. "As a young team, it was amazing how we were able to accomplish our goals."

Do autistic children change their behavior depending on the setting?
ex. In the public can they settle down because of all the distractions?
ex. Visit grandparents and be a gem, or very few tantrums? Then get home and throw 25-50 tantrums a day. Is this bad behavior/bad parenting or is this typical?
Is it normal for their worst tantrums to be at home?
My 30 month old son is not diagnosed yet. We are in the hurry up and wait time. I am going crazy! My son is very low on the spectrum if he is autistic. I am having an overwhelmed helpless day trying to figure this out.
-Red Flags include loss of speech, severe frequent tantrums, many sensory symptoms.
-Socially he does well one day and poor the next. Confuses clinicians and parents! My kiddo was this way. Turns out he has a metabolic condition but there were other signs too of that. In general great fluctuations in functioning are a red flag for metabolic (or related/health) issues.

Is it normal for their worst tantrums to be at home? Yes, kids can vary and I do think some kids have their worst tantrums at home. My son is certainly one of those. I think it has to do with distractions for him more than comfort level. But for some kids they act out when they are comfortable.
No, not bad parenting. Sounds like your kiddo really struggles with regulation. 25 to 50 is a lot. At some points we've considered risperdal for my son to give him a chance to learn better coping skills. I've been looking at stuff from The Explosive Child and have consulted a few people and I've maybe (I hope) learned more what helps my child in terms of tantrums but I'm holding my breath that it isn't a temporary improvement. We have had long time periods of meltdowns all through the day. It's horrible I know. We still have them daily but no longer constant/all day long. Can you pinpoint any triggers or things that make them more likely to happen. For my son one important thing is he needs to eat frequently--every 2 to 3 hours--and he is more stable emotionally. Sleep affects him too. And then we've learned how to engage him and by-pass them at least sometimes. And I think he's getting more able to manage with age--at least a bit. Like I said holding my breath this isn't just temporary here.
When the children loose speech and babbling is it normal for them to start getting it back after treatment starts? My DS lost speech and babbling for 4-6 months and then we have only been in Speech Therapy for 3 weeks and he has started babbling again. The words have not come back, but he is trying again, when before he had given up. I think that's terrific! For my son he would lose skills and then gain them back. Any loss of skills is a sign of metabolic issues or something else health wise. We just didn't know that. We found out my son has a metabolic condition at 3.5 years old.
Do autistic children have pop outs? ??Not sure what that is?? Oh, I see your follow up post now. Actually, I'm not sure on this. I've read about that with apraxia of speech though for sure.
Rachelle, mommy to 8 year old boys!
My Blog-free homeschooling finds and my lesson plans and link to the new User Agreement
Okay, is it a loss of skills if your kid who used to say "aguh" to get tickled again is now simply moving your hands and laughing? Or is that just a boy being two?
I don't think I'd see something like that as a loss of skills. Unless there were a large vocabulary that he was now not saying.
For a while my son waved bye bye and then he quit doing it. Now he's doing it again. I think kids pick up on things and then when they're learning a lot of new things they give some things up for a while.
First of all NONE of it is bad parenting, I am sure.
Yes, he is an angel one minute and and screaming demon the next.
Loss of skills is never normal, IMO.
I have heard that inconsistency(in terms of sensory issues like you're talking about) is a hallmark of neurological dysfunction.
My son is very inconsistent. At home he usually does well, sometimes he does well in public, sometimes it's completely opposite.
Thank you!
A pop out is a word that your child says that they cant normally say, and cant repeat and you dont hear it again for a long time.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - After having a great start to her indoor season, Samantha Williams earned the chance to end it on the biggest stage: the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Williams had her best triple jump of the season at the Auburn Invitational, where she cleared 42' 5.5". The mark, set on Jan. 19, remained one of the best in the country over the course of the season and qualified Williams to compete in her first NCAA Division I Indoor Championships. This year, the meet will be held at Arkansas' Randal Tyson Track Center.
"I'm really glad all my hard work paid off, especially after the disappointing ACCs," Williams said. "I'm really grateful for the opportunity to go."
Despite having three Top 3 finishes on the year in the triple jump, the All-American has had to deal with some inconsistency this indoor season.
"It started off really well," Williams said. "Then it didn't go all the way down, but it stayed on the same path for a good while. It taught me a few lessons. It taught me patience, most of all. Starting off on such a high note, I expected so much more. But after the disappointment at ACCs, I really think it's just discipline and a test of perseverance going into NCAAs."
Williams is coming off a strong showing at the Virginia Tech Qualifier. The senior All-American won the triple jump after clearing 42' 0.5". The win gave her a confidence boost heading into the final meet of the indoor season. Now, she is ready to see all her hard work pay off at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
The NCAA Division I Indoor Championships begin Friday, Mar. 8. Williams will compete in the women's triple jump on Saturday, Mar. 9, at 7 p.m. ET. ESPN3 will stream the meet live on March 8 from 6:30-10:30 p.m. ET and March 9 from 7 p.m.-9:30 p.m. ET. A tape delay of the championship will air Sunday, March 17 from 7 p.m.-9:00 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

Chinese police shoot dead dozens after attack in Xinjiang
BEIJING, (Reuters) – Chinese police shot dead dozens of knife-wielding attackers Monday morning after they staged assaults on two towns in the western region of Xinjiang, the official Xinhua news agency said on Tuesday.
A gang armed with knives had first attacked a police station and government offices in the town of Elixku, in Shache county, it said, quoting local police. Some moved on to the nearby town of Huangdi, attacking civilians and smashing and setting fire to six vehicles.
"Police officers at the scene shot dead dozens of members of the mob," the brief report said.
An initial investigation showed that it was an "organised and premeditated terrorist attack", Xinhua added.
The dead and injured include not just Uighurs but members of China's majority Han Chinese population, the report said.
The U.S.-based Rebiya Kadeer, president of the exiled World Uyghur Congress (Eds:Correct), called for restraint, saying in a statement that she was worried "China will use this incident to step up repression, causing more people to loose their freedom."
The attack took place at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which officials had tried to get Muslims in Xinjiang to ignore, in an indication of what rights groups say is discrimination targeting the Uighurs.
Shache, also known by its Uighur name of Yarkant, is located in Xinjiang's heavily Uighur southwestern part, close to the borders of Tajikistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Xinjiang, home to many Turkic-speaking Uighurs, has for years been beset by violence, which the government blames on Islamist militants or separatists who it says are bent on establishing an independent state called East Turkestan.
China says Uighur militants have based themselves in countries including Afghanistan and Pakistan in recent years, and this week China's special envoy for the Middle East said some had also likely been trained in Syria and Iraq.
It was not clear why the attack was only being reported on Tuesday, more than a day after it took place, though China's ruling Communist Party, which values stability above all else, had a habit of suppressing or delaying bad news.
Exiled Uighur groups and human rights activists say the government's repressive policies in Xinjiang, including controls on Islam, have provoked unrest, a claim Beijing denies.
China exercises tight control over Xinjiang, making visits by foreign reporters there to independently assess the situation extremely difficult.
Xinjiang, resource-rich and strategically located on the borders of central Asia, is crucial to meeting China's growing energy needs.
Exiles, rights groups and many foreign experts say that most of the proceeds have gone to the Han Chinese, stoking resentment among Uighurs.
More than 200 people have died in unrest in Xinjiang in the past year or so, the government says, prompting a tough crackdown by Beijing.
Violence blamed by China on Uighur extremists has begun to spread outside of Xinjiang. In March, 29 people were stabbed to death at a train station in the southwestern city of Kunming.

Kylie Jenner celebrates her Sweet 16
(Yahoo!) - Kylie Jenner isn't settling for just one birthday party … the reality star is celebrating her Sweet 16 with two big bashes.
The teen starlet celebrated her birthday on August 10 with a dinner to remember at Nobu in Malibu, California. Naturally, Kylie was surrounded by her famous fam, parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick, and her nephew, Mason, and niece, Penelope. Her boyfriend Jaden Smith was also on tap to fete his sweetie on her monumental birthday.
Never one to keep a good party a secret, the Kardashian clan all posted a series of snaps on their Instagram accounts.
Kourtney snapped a photo of her little sister's gorgeous white, rose-adorned birthday cake with 16 colorful candles on top. Meanwhile, momager Kris couldn't help taking a selfie with her daughter, showing off a pair of seriously red lips. Kylie's partner in crime, Kendall, captured the birthday festivities with four snaps of her sis blowing out the candles.
Noticeably absent from the soiree was Kim Kardashian, who was rumored to have skipped the party in order to stay home with her newborn baby, North.
The Seventeen magazine brand ambassador clearly had a great time and took to Twitter to share the b-day love. "Thank you to everyone for the bday wishes and making yesterday so special! Blessed!"
Kylie's sushi-filled celebration is just the start of her epic birthday plans. Next up, she'll reportedly be celebrating with 100 of her closest pals at a massive bash at the AT&T Center in Los Angeles on August 17, while the E! cameras roll.
This definitely sounds like a super Sweet 16 to us!

C. H. Spurgeon- Baptist preacher
Source: Wikipedia
The descendant of several generations of Independent ministers, he was born at Kelvedon, Essex, and became a Baptist in 1850. In the same year he preached his first sermon, and in 1852 he was appointed paster of the Baptist congregation at Waterbeach. In 1854 he went to Southwark, where his sermons drew such crowds that a new church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Newington Causeway, had to be built for him. Apart from his preaching activites he founded a pastors' college, an orphanage, and a colportage association for the propagation of uplifting literature. Spurgeon was a strong Calvinist. He had a controversy in 1864 with the Evangelical party of the Church of England for remaining in a Church that taught Baptismal Regeneration, and also estranged considerable sections of his own community by rigid opposition to the more liberal methods of Biblical exegesis. These differences led to a rupture with the Baptist Union in 1887. He owed his fame as a preacher to his great oratorical gifts, humour, and shrewd common sense, which showed itself especially in his treatment of contemporary problems. Among his works are The Saint and his Saviour (1857), Commenting and Commentaries (1876) and numerous volumes of sermons (translated into many languages).
bio from www.ccel.org
Charles Spurgeon preached some 3500+ sermons in his lifetime.
In this module there are some 250+ sermons arranged in Biblical Order and could be read as a commentary.
His sermons were insightful and full of theological truth.
This is a compilation of selected sermons from www.spurgeon.org and www.biblebb.com from Acts-Revelation from the files I have done in the past and now compile as one file.
P.S. A sermon commentary, in reality, does not exist, it seemed logical to arrange his sermons in this order.
I have started to arrange his 1200+ (a subset of his 3500) from spurgeon.org and biblebb.com. Both sources derived the sermons from the New Park Street Pulpit vol 1-8 and the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit vol 9-62
At a later time I will add the remaining (2300+) in book format (of the Bible, e.g. Isaiah).
One day Lord willing, I will combine other Purtian and Reformed writers with Spurgeon into another commentary series.

Stella McCartney Announce Fragrance Deal With Procter & Gamble
Posted on June 14, 2013The Procter & Gamble Company and Stella McCartney have announced the P&G Prestige has signed a licensing deal with Stella McCartney to manufacture and sell designer fragrance products. P&G will begin developing and marketing fragrances under the Stella McCartney brand name in September 2013. The name of the first fragrance has not yet been revealed.
Stella McCartney said in a statement, "It is just an incredibly exciting time to look at the world of Stella McCartney beauty and to have such an opportunity with such a great partner in P&G Prestige that understands my beliefs. I am incredibly excited to get working and to start a new world of beauty for us. There is so much energy already and we haven't even started, I just feel like we can do really wonderful things and explore the world of beauty, together, as a team."
Stella McCartney's previous fragrances were through L'Oreal. The two companies decided to part ways and not renew their license agreement earlier this year.

Congress & Social Media 101
Making the connection to impact legislators
A DU letter/ article.
The new class of federal legislators took their seats in Washington, D.C., this month and it is crucial for them to hear from their constituents on important issues.
A letter or phone call from a voter still carries a lot of weight with congressional offices, but social media has emerged as another easy and often effective alternative.
For those who find themselves new to the "Facebook fray," you can use social media to reach out—"like" the Ducks Unlimited Facebook page, search your congressman's website for a link to his or her Facebook and Twitter accounts, and join groups that support state or local political parties. Visit www.senate.gov or www.house.gov/representatives to find directories with links to legislators' individual websites.
One positive side effect of publicly communicating with your lawmakers on social media is that your comments may spur a dialogue with other constituents. Someone in your city or state may see that you asked your senator to support a conservation bill and send their own message of encouragement, building on the awareness. It is also helpful to include bill numbers when discussing specific legislation to make your message clearer. Search www.thomas.gov for this information.
With the high visibility of social media, it's important to remember to be respectful in your messages. If you are unsure about a particular post, think of the old carpentry adage: measure twice, cut once—similarly, think twice before you click "share" and social media will be utilized most effectively.
DU encourages you to use Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to ask legislators questions, encourage them to take action, and share your support of our public policy priorities, such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Act or the Farm Bill.
This is the first article in a series on using social media to contact your members of Congress.
Maybe the best Article of the year!

text: Hey guys, I posted a while ago looking for suggestions on what dual exhaust to get for my 2010 silverado crew cab. Well, I ended up going with the mbrp pro series cat back system. I've had it on for a few weeks now, and I'm just not completely satisfied with it. I was hoping it would have been louder. I was looking for something that's really loud and has a nice aggressive tone to it. I don't have a lot of money to spend anymore on it, but is there anything I can do for not too much money to make it louder and give it a nice rumble? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I've got a fuel pressure issue. It will run great for 10 - 15 minutes at 3200 or so then it just peters out. The fuel pressure falls completely off to 0. After is sits (get towed) for 10 - 15 minutes it will fire right back up and the fuel pressure will return to ~ 6 lbs. This is a mechanical fuel pump and a Q-Jet carb. It has a new water separator and all new rubber fuel lines. My gut feeling is there is sediment in the tank that gets suspended and after 10 minutes or so it manages to pack the sock on the tank pickup. Once the boat dies is sloshes around and the sediment falls off the pick up and it is fine again. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. It has done this pretty consistently on every long haul I have made with it. It does just fine if I stick to short runs
In conversation with another boater at the lake this weekend he said he had the exact same issue and it was the same style water separator. He said he bypassed it with just a regular inline fuel filter and it resolved his issue. He said he fought it for a long time before finally getting it resolved.
The tanks are tabbed in with glass and I don't think I can get the pickup out without removing the tank. The plan is to bypass the separator with a filter. If that does not fix it I am going to borrow a portable fuel cell from a friend and use that instead of the on board tank. If the borrowed tank fixes it I know I have an issue in my tank. If not it has to be the pump.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm all ears.

Managing Chemicals of Concern (POPs, ODS, Heavy Metals)
There is an established link between poverty and the increased risk of exposure to toxic and hazardous chemicals. Exposure of poor people to toxic chemicals is often strongly correlated to geography. In urban settings, low-income or minority populations typically reside in neighborhoods considered undesirable, such as areas adjacent to industrial zones. These places can be major sources of environmental exposure to toxic chemicals, originating from factories, landfill sites, incinerators, and/or hazardous waste dumps (with controlled or uncontrolled leakage).
In rural areas, where three-quarters of the world's poor live, most chemical exposure is linked to pollution brought by waterways as well as the use of pesticides in agriculture. The improper use, management, and storage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers can result in contamination of air, food, soil, and drinking water (e.g. through pesticide and nitrate run-off), leading to increased human exposure and associated health risks.
Certain groups of chemical substances are of particular concern for poor and vulnerable population groups as well as the environment which provides these communities with livelihoods.
UNDP's work prioritizes the sound management of such groups of substances including:
Persistent Organic Pollutants
With grants from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), UNDP is supporting the implementation of POPs projects in more than 50 countries world-wide, addressing a variety of national and Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants priorities, as well as GEF Strategic Objectives.
UNDP supports the reduction and elimination of all types of POPs contaminants included under the Stockholm Convention, covering a multitude of sectors and activities:
- Updating of National Implementation Plans (NIPs).
- Sound management and disposal of POPs pesticides, including the promotion and introduction of POPs-free alternatives.
- Sound management of PCB stockpiles, including inventories, sound disposal, strengthening of legal frameworks and enforcement capacity.
- Reducing releases of unintentional POPs (UPOPs) and brominated flame-retardants resulting from unsound waste management processes/practices as well as recycling operations (e.g. e-waste, health-care and municipal waste etc.)
- Gradual implementation of best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) for existing as well as new POPs sources.
- Minimization of exposure levels of communities living close to contaminated areas.
- Incorporating POPs issues into national development planning processes, and analyzing country development strategies to ensure that there is no increased POPs burden.
Wherever possible and appropriate, UNDP POPs activities are undertaken within a country's framework for sound management of chemicals, to ensure national coordination among chemicals-related activities in support of regional or global conventions and agreements on chemicals.
For more information on UNDP's activities in this area download the brochure: UNDP and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants or visit the Waste Management web pages.
Ozone Depleting Substances
UNDP provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries and countries with economies in transition to protect the ozone layer and safeguard the global climate.
With the financial support of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol (MLF), the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and bi-lateral donors, UNDP helps countries to meet their commitments under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, phase-out HCFCs and introduce Ozone and Climate friendly alternatives through:
- Institutional capacity development.
- Policy and regulatory interventions.
- Validation and demonstration of alternative technologies (low carbon, zero ODP).
- Setting-up national financial mechanisms to access, combine and sequence different sources of environmental financing funding to meet Montreal Protocol compliance and address climate co-benefits.
Since 1992, UNDP has implemented 2085 projects in 110 countries. UNDP's portfolio of ozone-related projects has a cumulative total value exceeding US$ 574 million and to date has prevented the release of over 65,000 tonnes of ODS into the atmosphere.
For more on UNDP's work visit our web pages on "Protecting the Ozone Layer and Safeguarding the Global Climate".
Heavy Metals
To protect public health and the global environment from the impacts of heavy metals, such as mercury and lead, UNDP, with financial support from the Multilateral Fund, GEF and bi-lateral donors, is supporting countries through the following means:
- Advocating for and supporting the phase-out of mercury containing products from the healthcare sector (e.g. thermometers and sphygmomanometers) in Argentina, India, Latvia, Lebanon, Philippines, Senegal and Vietnam, among other countries.
- Conducting country-specific assessments of electronic and electric waste streams and its processing, including waste components of particular concern, such as mercury and lead, and subsequently putting in place plans to manage this waste in an environmentally sound manner.
- Introducing management schemes that support the waste aspects of obsolete equipment (including mercury waste stream), which arise when more environmentally friendly and energy efficient appliances are being introduced (e.g. as a result of refrigerator replacement programmes).
- Introduction of Best Environmental Practices (BEP) and Best Available Technologies (BAT) to e-waste processing to avoid harmful releases of heavy metals and other hazardous substances.
- Policy and regulatory interventions.

Theoretical and Applied Physics
Following the MSc, students are expected to pursue a PhD at AUST under a sandwich program with the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, and opportunities may become available with other universities overseas. The MSc program provides students with a strong background in the fundamental areas of physics (classical and quantum physics), with an emphasis on the theoretical aspects of the subject. In addition to the basic courses, students are introduced to important and recent research areas in condensed matter theory, atomic and molecular physics, energy physics, biophysics, general relativity and cosmology.
The 18-month MSc program consists of a combination of core courses and, electives and the preparation of a Master's Thesis under the supervision of a faculty member. Students who complete the first year of the program with a grade point average of C (GPA of 2.0) without any failing grade are awarded the AUST Post Graduate Diploma in Theoretical Physics. Diploma students who in addition have maintained a B average (GPA of 3.0) throughout the year can then continue with the Masters program in the second year. Selection for the PhD program is done during the second year, and successful students are expected to formally start their PhD once they have completed their MSc thesis.
The program is very intensive, and only well motivated and prepared students who want to pursue a career in teaching and research are encouraged to apply. Courses are taught as 3- or 4- week module of 45 to 60 hours, with a combination of lectures and problem-solving sessions. First year students are expected to take between 15 and 16 modules.
The curriculum covers all important aspects of modern physics. During their first year, students take fundamental courses covering mathematical methods, classical mechanics, fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, biophysics and solid state physics. In the second year, students take three or four advanced modules covering some specific areas.

Well I am now a year old, my birthday was on Friday the 3rd! The peeps can not believe it. They feel like just the other day I was a itty bitty squeaky little 2 week old kitten. They are so happy to see what a big healthy beautiful girl I have grown into especially since I had a bit of a rough start to my life.
When I was about 2 weeks my 2 siblings, myself and 3 other kittens (who looked to be about a week or so older)we left in the back of an abandoned car on a hot summer day. Luckily some nice person heard our cries and brought us to a local vet. We were all very hungry and a bit skinny so the people at the vet gave us some milk and placed us in a foster home (we stayed with a 2 different employees at first before going to be fostered by what is now my forever home. There were so many of us and with the fact that 3 of them were a bit older we were kind of a hard group to care for. As we were starting to be weaned the older kittens took to it quite easily & quickly and my brother started too as well even though he was still able to be bottle fed but myself & my sister Bug did not even like the idea of being off the bottle so we had to stay in foster for a little bit longer while the 3 older kittens & my brother soon found their forever homes. A few days after the other kittens left Bug & I got very ill. Bug was the runt & had always been a tad sickly but she had gotten worse one day, and on the same day I passed out. Luckily it was while I was at the vet (my girl brought us with her when she went to work) so they jumped into action & gave me fluids and meds but I was not in good shape. The peeps were so afraid that something was going to happen to us. Luckily after a day or so I started feeling better, and Bug had some progress too. Sadly on the day that I was officially out of the woods, Bug died. She went downhill suddenly & there was nothing that could be done, it was very sad. With just me left the peeps focused on finding me a home but after 3 of them fell through it was pretty clear I wasn't going anywhere!
I have totally forgotten about my rough start! I am a big spunky & happy girl now! I love my peeps and they love me dearly! They were so devastated when Clemy passed away and I really helped heal their broken hearts. So of course when it was my birthday they had to celebrate! I got lots of extra attention (which I looooooved!) and food too, they even gave me a whole slice of deli chicken! It was awesome. I also got two new toys. A little toy shaped like a fly, that is fun to bat around, and this super fun stick toy that has a large piece of fake fur attached to it that you chase around. It is the best!! I had a pretty great birthday, and I am excited to take on this next year of my life!
Thanks pals for all the birthday wishes!
Also I am a daily diary pick today, woohoo! Thanks HQ!
I must admit something to you all. I am a....attention hog. Yup! I am addicted to attention. I crave it dearly. If my peeps are home and I am not taking a nap I will track them down and demand they look at me! I will wiggle wiggle my tail and entire body (something I have done when i get excited since I was an itty bitty kitten) and if my peeps say something to me I will be polite and respond and meow and chirp at them. If that doesn't do the trick in getting me lots of attention then I will fall over and start squirming all over the ground looking as adorable as possible. Works almost every time.
I have also gotten a new habit of being in the middle of things. If my peeps are doing something, I need to be there because they need to give me attention. Almost every night at dinner I sit with them at the table. I learned that climbing on the table & peoples laps isn't good at dinner time so I have gotten into the habit of sitting in the extra seats. If they say it is time to eat, I will be there! I do like to take over study sessions too. My girl has been studying a bunch for her college exams but I have other ideas. She will have all of her books and materials spread out on the table and will be really getting into some edumaction time when I will just decide "hey! I am not getting enough attention!" and will then jump on the table and make things difficult. I really enjoy laying on all of the books and especially laptops (you think you are going to go online!? HA! Not with me spread out on your keyboard bwahahaha). And stealing highlighters and pencils is a favorite of mine! It is a lot of fun for me not so much for the girl but eh she can deal with it. I am more important than sociology, history and whatever else she is learning.
I am just way too cute not to have all eyes on me!
So guess who was diary of the day yesterday? This kid! Can you believe it? I was so surprised! Thanks HQ and thanks to all my pals who helped me celebrate. You guys are the best! The whole honor made me feel extra special. I made sure to demand extra snuggles and treats.
Thanks again everyone!

St. George Fire Chief accuses BR of "tax mining"
BATON ROUGE - St. George Fire Chief Gerard C. Tarleton accused Baton Rouge city leaders of "tax mining" with recent annexation efforts.
Chief Tarleton claimed in an open letter emailed to news outlets Friday night that he was told by "friends in the business community" that they'd been approached by city officials trying to annex their property, and create a link to businesses on Siegen Lane in order to undermine efforts to create a new city in the St. George Fire Protection District area.
"What is the impact of the proposed annexations on the St. George budget? We don't know because there is no telling where it stops. The impact may be $150,000 to $300,000 next week, $450,000 next month, and beyond." said Tarleton in the letter.
The EBR Metro Council is scheduled to take up annexation petitions from the Mall of Louisiana, Baton Rouge General Medical Center, and Our Lady of the Lake on Wednesday. If approved, those annexations could force supporters of the proposed City of St. George to start their petition efforts from scratch.

My crockpot is definitely earning it's keep lately. I may even upgrade to a new one before long. Mine has seen better days, but it still cooks so that is all that matters.
Well, I emailed Michelle from I Heart Publix to get my match ups this week. She is the one who came up with the great idea for 2 meals. I just kinda ran with it. I mean with free pork who can blame me!
So, she sent me a really great recipe for Crockpot Brunswick Stew. I was all set to put it in the crockpot this morning. I walked over to the computer to pull up the recipe and it was gone! Who knows what happened. I mean with 3 kids in the house it could have been any number of things. I had read the recipe several times, so I kind of knew what went in the pot.
That is the great thing about this recipe! It is an everybody in the pot meal. No special prep, no second guessing. Just throw it all in and go. If you don't have something on the list, substitute or leave it out. No one will know the difference
SO, I will stop rambling and finally give you the recipe to my version of Brunswick Stew. Did I mention I made fresh biscuits?
Short Cut Brunswick Stew
- 1½ to 2 cups BBQ Pork
- 2 potatoes cut bite size
- 8 oz cut okra (I had Whole Okra so I cut it)
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 can diced tomatoes with onions
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 Bell Pepper diced
- 1 can tomato sauce
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 1 Can Lima Beans
- 2 cups Chicken Broth ( Use the Broth you homemade!)
- 1 Tbsp garlic
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- Turn your crockpot on low!
- Now….everybody in the pool!
- I left out the Lima Beans because my hubby says, "They make my ears itch." The only other person I have ever heard say that in my life is my son. It is so weird!
- You can also substitute any kind of meat. We are using BBQ Pork because we had it left from yesterday. You could use chicken, or mix the 2.
- Leave in Crockpot on Low for 5-6 hours!
- This is so good!
Short Cut Sweet Buttermilk Biscuits
This recipe is a favorite at my house. When I make a pan they are gone! Not a crumb in sight. They are a sweet biscuit and are really good in the morning with jam. I even make them when I make chili!
- 2½ cup All Purpose Flour
- 3 TBSP Sugar
- 1½ TBSP Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ Cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 Cup Buttermilk…or regular milk with a tsp of vinegar.
- Combine Flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl; blend well.
- Add Butter…I use my fingers.
- Stir in buttermilk until just mixed. (Don't have buttermilk? Don't worry Use a little less than a cup of milk and add 1 tsp vinegar. It will do the trick.)
- Spoon Batter into greased Muffin tins and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
- Turn out and serve warm
- Makes about 12 biscuits.
