Bottle conditioning vs force carbing
I have been All Grain brewing for the last 3 years & bottled everything. About 1 year ago I purchased a kegging setup & after getting 19 or so litres into the corny, I bottled the remaining 4 litres or so. I am noticing that the same beer, same age is somewhat different. I do not like the force carbed beer as much as the bottle conditioned. The bottle conditioned seems to hold a better head, thicker head as well, more lacing & seems to have a better mouth feel. Seems to be more mellow. Anyone else had similar experiences or do I need some medication. Compared APA, Amber Ale.

I've not experienced any difference in quality of force carbonated vs. bottle conditioned...in fact I have even bottled beer that has been force carbonated, and it has never affected the beer (even strong ones which stay in bottle for a year or more). As a result, I stopped all bottle conditioning more than 20 years ago.

It's that time of year again, but before moving on to New Year's Resolutions, be sure to give yourself credit for 2011.
Now, this may (at first glance) seem like a pointless exercise. Thinking back on the past year, it can be easy to focus on all that you hoped to do that's still undone: The jobs you applied for and failed to get, the book you didn't write, the exercise program that you planned to make a regular part of your life. (If you're anything like me, you didn't.)
That was certainly the direction my mind went when I first contemplated this task—which was why I was so happily surprised to see it was misleading me. (This was hardly the first time: I've long recognized that just because I think something doesn't mean it's true.) Here's a sampling of what I accomplished over the past year:
- Started writing personal essays and publishing them in Huffington Post, Salon, and our local paper.
- Launched this blog
- Cleared out the packed storage unit that I'd been meaning to get rid of for a decade (and wrote an essay about it)
- Completed a graduate class in a social work (and no, I doubt that I'll continue with the program, but I'd been thinking about it for a long time and am glad I tried it out.)
- Fulfilled a longstanding dream of working with foster kids, including planning a writing workshop to be sponsored by Friends of Children this spring
- Got some really interesting freelance writing gigs that are likely to lead to more
- Made lots of great friends in my great new community of Northampton Massachusetts, the first place I've lived in a long time that really feels like home.
There's lots more, but you get the idea.
This was an especially interesting exercise for me given my initial assessment that this had been a long hard year primarily defined by failure. I felt like I'd spent most of the year trying, failing, getting up, then trying again. Along with the successes listed above, I'd applied for (and been rejected for) a whole bunch of different jobs. I wrote and circulated a book proposal that failed to elicit any interest from the agents who perused it. The list goes on.
Happily, I had this year's daily log to contradict these thoughts. As I recently wrote in Huffington Post, I started keeping daily logs more than a decade ago after trading my structured life as a law firm associate for the free-form existence of an aspiring novelist. At the time, I was reaching the end of the week in a mild state of panic, thinking "I'm not getting anything done! What is wrong with me?"
In an effort to take charge of my schedule, I started using a blank bound book — a so-called lawyer's diary for which I had no further use — to track my activities day by day. And lo and behold, I wasn't such a slacker after all! It just felt that way. (Lest there be any doubt, I did indeed write and ultimately publish two novels.)
Tracking accomplishments can be especially important in Plan B Nation, where many of us are dealing with more failures than we have in the past. (That's certainly the case for me.) The fact is, these are challenging times, and it's not our fault. Making a concerted effort to recognize our successes can help us to remember that we do indeed have significant strengths.
So go ahead and make those New Year's Resolutions—and do your best to stick to them. But before cracking the whip for 2012, celebrate 2011.

Marathon County Jail Does Only Limited Searches of Work Release Inmates
Submitted: 04/24/2013
- The Marathon County Jail saw two corrections officers attacked last month, but it does only limited searches of inmates returning to jail from work-release programs.That's despite a recommendation to beef up searches.79 of the jail's 279 inmates are in the facility's Huber section, meaning they're eligible for work release.When they return to jail they go through a metal detector and are patted down for weapons. But the jail doesn't have enough staff to do strip searches.In theory, that could mean inmates are sneaking in weapons or contraband.The state Department of Corrections says strip searches are authorized for inmates convicted of felonies. A 2011 independent report recommended the Marathon County Jail do those searches.Authorities say their resources are too limited.(Copyright 2013 Associated Press - All Rights Reserved)

The board of directors of $1.5 billion Technology Credit Union has written the CU's 74,000 members that they may be better served by converting the credit union to a bank.
In a letter posted Oct. 3 on the CU's website, the board of the San Jose, Calif.-based credit union laid out its reasons for considering the option and invited member comments before making a final decision at a meeting slated for Nov. 2. Under current NCUA regulations, the letter and the invitation for member comment are considered the first step in the agency's charter change process.
"Tech CU's board of directors believes that, as a mutual savings bank, Tech CU will be able to significantly expand its commercial lending business," the credit union board wrote in the letter. "While we will continue to be primarily a residential and consumer lender, we will seek to diversify our loan portfolio by increasing secured commercial and industrial lending to small and mid-size businesses in our market area.
"Tech CU's board of directors believes that this should improve our earnings since commercial loans generally carry higher interest rates and origination fees than typical residential mortgage and consumer loans. The additional revenues that Tech CU's board of directors believes will be generated by this type of lending would be used to support and enhance our existing products and services and provide our current and future members with the valued financial products and services and cutting-edge technology they want and expect."
The CU's board also cited expanded capital opportunities as a reason for considering charter change, as well as the ability to serve the broader community without field of membership restrictions.
As per the NCUA's regulations, the CU also invited member comment on the possible change, and the board indicated it will consider adopting the charter change proposal on Nov. 2.
"Tech CU will be able to achieve the growth needed to remain competitive, continue to enhance and expand our current product and service offerings such as business banking and commercial lending programs and justify adding branch locations," Barbara Kamm, CEO of Technology Credit Union, was quoted by The San Francisco Business Times in an Oct. 3 article. The CU had not returned calls for comment from Credit Union Times as of press time.
Reaction to the announcement has been swift and, compared to previous charter changes and charter change attempts, more vigorous.
The California Credit Union League and CUNA CEO Bill Cheney both expressed concern that Technology CU members be completely informed about the effects of a move to a mutual bank charter.
"Charter conversions should be approached from the viewpoint of the members-owners of the credit union," stated league CEO Diana Dykstra. "While a credit union's management may experience the operational advantages of a bank charter, the benefit does not necessarily extend to the credit union's members. In the end, those members could be left with a financial institution that no longer strives to put their interests first."
The league pointed to the difference in governance between a credit union and stock-issuing bank but did not mention that the Technology CU board is considering a switch to a mutual institution, which would have similar, though not identical, governance rules.
The association also pointed out that research shows CUs typically offer better rates on loans than do banks and that consumers save money by using a credit union instead of a bank. "In California, that savings amounts to about $930 million, or $183 per member household," the league said.
Cheney expressed similar skepticism that a bank charter would serve Technology members better than a CU charter.
"We continue to believe that the credit union charter remains the best option for serving the interests of consumers," Cheney said. "That point was made acutely over the last several days when Bank of America announced a monthly debit card fee–which was followed by a resounding and sharp outcry from across the nation by consumers and the news media alike that credit union membership is the natural haven from such high fees, typically charged by banks."
He also pointed out that, in terms of deposit insurance premiums, changing charters might lead Technology from a less expensive option in the NCUSIF to a more expensive one with the FDIC.
"All credit unions should recognize that estimates of their shares of the costs of the corporate credit union resolution have been dropping," Cheney observed. "As result of recent announcements by the NCUA–which are likely to affect credit unions over the next several years–credit unions will likely pay less in the combined costs of NCUSIF premiums and corporate resolution than similarly sized banks will pay in their premiums to the FDIC over the coming decade," he suggested.
If the $1.5 billion Technology Credit Union decides to move forward in its effort to convert to a mutual bank, it is new ground for the California Department of Financial Institutions.
A spokesman for the California DFI confirmed that the state has never had a credit union to bank charter change attempt before and that the state's credit union regulations are silent on the topic.
California's financial code explicitly provides for state-chartered credit unions to convert to federally chartered institutions and how to do that. Likewise, it provides for federally chartered CUs to adopt the state charter. But it is silent on state-chartered credit unions conversion to mutual banks.
Technology CU, in its letter to members introducing the idea, listed a desire to make more commercial loans as a reason for the conversion. Credit unions are under a legislatively mandated cap of 12.25% of assets on member business loans. According to the most recent report to NCUA, the CU has booked 144 member business loans worth just over $81.3 million, representing more than 5% of the credit union's assets. To reach the cap at their current asset level, the credit union would have book more than $184 million in member business loans.
According to CU Financial Services, a Portland, Maine, consultancy that helps credit unions change to bank charters, if Technology Credit Union succeeds in moving to a bank, it will become the 37th credit union to change charters since 1995.

Thayer prof. named OSA fellow
The Dartmouth
February 7, 2013
With 20 ongoing research projects at any given time, professor Brian Pogue's bustling research lab in the Thayer School of Engineering develops optics and lasers to improve cancer detection and treatment. Pogue was one of 72 fellows elected to the Optical Society of America, awarded to the organization's members who have played a role in advancing the field.
Pogue's research focuses on improving cancer screening using medical imaging technology in order to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment. The lab, funded primarily by the American Cancer Society, aims to help diagnose cancer in its early stages to extend and improve patients' quality of life, Pogue said.
Pogue runs one of the largest labs at Thayer, and, as the principal investigator on all of the lab's research, works with other professors, research scientists, PhD students and undergraduate students. While PhD students perform research for their own projects, Pogue is involved in every study by brainstorming strategies and supervising the lab.
In addition to developing optic and laser technology for early stage cancer diagnosis, Pogue supervises projects that further enhance cancer screening.
Kristian Sexton, a PhD student in Pogue's lab, researches fluorescence guided surgical systems. Because it may be difficult to differentiate between cancerous and healthy cells, his study aims to develop a way to light up tumor cells when they are exposed to fluorescent light. This process is analogous to using a black light to illuminate certain properties on surfaces, Sexton said. When fully developed, the technology will allow surgeons to differentiate between cells more easily during surgery.
Sexton has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, and appreciates the chance to collaborate with diverse students in Thayer.
"One of the unique things about [Pogue's] lab and the whole Thayer School is you have a lot of people from different backgrounds." Sexton said. "The projects are very interdisciplinary, that is one of the great things about working in this field."

|The Score Artists @ Work Member Directory Premier Partners Seminar Downloads SCL Videos NY Home Forum Ambassador Program Mentor Program Hall of Fame In Memoriam Lifetime Achievement Emerging Composer
Erich Wolfgang Korngold
... composed original scores for just 18 films, but forever changed the sound of Hollywood movies with his rich symphonic sound and unabashed romanticism.
A child prodigy in his native Austria, acclaimed by the likes of Mahler, Puccini and Strauss, Korngold came to Hollywood in 1934, the first to arrive with major credentials in the concert world. He thought of film music as opera without singing, creating rapturous melodies, writing recurring themes for characters, and supporting the on-screen action with thrilling orchestral accompaniment.
Nearly all of his films were at Warner Bros., which so respected his contributions that he was highly paid, allowed to choose his own films, and given prominent title-card placement in the credits. He was a key contributor to the studio's handsome costume dramas and historical epics, including swashbuckling music for Errol Flynn in CAPTAIN BLOOD, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, and THE SEA HAWK; romantic themes for Bette Davis in JUAREZ, THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX; and grand-scale scores for ANTHONY ADVERSE and KINGS ROW.
He won two Academy Awards, but when he returned to classical composition after World War II, he found that his romantic style -- which had been so right for Hollywood in the '30s and '40s -- was no longer favored in the concert hall. He died in 1957, thinking that he had been forgotten. Ironically, re-recordings of his movie music in the 1970s led to a resurgence of interest in all of Korngold's output.

Snowy Paris gets raves from tourists even with Eiffel closed
More photos Hide photos
PARIS -- Snow and freezing rain pummeled parts of France on Friday, shutting down the Eiffel Tower but covering Paris in a gorgeous coat of white.
The Eiffel Tower, France's most-visited monument, was closed all day Friday and was staying closed Saturday "to ensure the security of visitors," the company that manages the 19th-century landmark said.
Workers with hand shovels were carefully clearing snow from the monument's intricate ironwork and de-icing stairs and platforms. The company said they can't use salt because it could corrode the Eiffel Tower's metal and damage its heavily used elevators.
Heavy snowfall earlier this week trapped hundreds of drivers in cars and caused the worst-ever traffic jams in the Paris region. On Friday city authorities asked drivers to stay away.
Yet Friday's snowfall in the capital was a bit less dramatic and gave way to some fun. Snowboarders glided down the hills of the city's Montmartre neighborhood as tourists gaped.
"It looks awesome," said James Geisler, 23, from Davenport, Iowa. "This is my first time in Paris. We planned this trip a while ago and we didn't know there was going to be this much snow, but it's beautiful."
More snow was forecast and authorities warned of dangerous conditions in about one-fourth of the country. But French police, citing improved conditions, on Friday evening lifted the dayslong ban on big rig trucks in the Paris region.
"I have been here before in summer, but I have to say that I like it lot more like this, because it looks like a fairy tale, like a snow paradise," said Margareta Eurlings, a 21-year-old tourist from Belgium.

MORAGA, Calif. - Five Saint Mary's pitchers held UC Santa Barbara to just four hits as the Gauchos' four-game winning streak came to an end with a 2-1 loss on Monday at Louis Guisto Field.
While UCSB managed just four hits on the afternoon - two by Brett Vertigan - the Gauchos did draw eight walks on the afternoon and threatened with runners in scoring position in five separate innings, but never got the big hit.
Santa Barbara's best chance came in the eighth inning when the team loaded the bases with one out but could only push one run across on Ryan Palermo's sacrifice fly, scoring Brandon Trinkwon.
The Gaels (19-19 overall) scored both of its runs in the fifth inning on Patrick Wisdom's solo home run - his fifth of the year - and a run-scoring triple by Ricky Boas against Greg Mahle.
Mahle (1-3) went six strong innings but had to take the loss despite allowing just those two runs on five hits. The freshman left-hander struck out six.
The Gauchos (21-18) were seeking to win for the fifth straight time, which they haven't done since the 2010 season. They'll get a chance to start a new streak this Friday when they host UC Davis for three games. Friday's game starts at 3 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday each at 1 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 893-UCSB or online by clicking here.
All Gaucho baseball games can be heard live online - just click here - and all Big West games are broadcast live on AM 1290 in Santa Barbara.

Larry Fitzgerald Sr. was in Seattle on Sunday and got to witness first-hand the drubbing his son's team took at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals season hit a new low as they turned the ball over eight times in a 58-0 loss to the Seahawks.
His son made just one catch for two yards despite being targeted 11 times by Arizona quarterbacks John Skelton and Ryan Lindley. Three passes intended for Fitzgerald were picked off by the Seahawks.
After the game, the elder Fitzgerald took to twitter in criticizing the Cardinals.
"Pathetic performance by Arizona Cardinals," Fitzgerald Sr. wrote. "Cardinals loss 9 straight can't do anything right."
During his weekly Monday night football pregame show appearance with Jim Gray of Dial Global Sports, Fitzgerald responded to the frustrations expressed by his father the night before.
"I'm in a unique situation with my father being a media member," Fitzgerald said. "He's making an observation based on what he sees and what he feels and that's his opinion. I don't share in those same feelings and that's where I stand on that."
Even if he does feel the same as his dad, Fitzgerald is not the kind of player that feels the need to voice his frustrations publicly. He's always said the right things about his situation regardless of how he may actually feel. Fitzgerald dismissed any notion that he's wasting away playing for the moribund Cardinals.
"I enjoy playing for the Arizona Cardinals and I want to continue to play here and try to win," Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald said he didn't understand why Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt felt the need to apologize for the team's performance against the Seahawks. Fitzgerald said his coach wasn't playing in the game, it was the players that didn't get the job done. He also shot down the thought the Cardinals have quit.
"Never. We're professionals. That will never happen," Fitzgerald said. "We're going to continue to play. We're going to continue to practice. We're going to continue to prepare every week like we would if we had won nine games in a row. That's not going to change. We're not going to quit."
Team president Michael Bidwell said Monday that Whisenhunt will finish the season as the Cardinals head coach but it's hard to fathom a team as listless as the one that played in Seattle Sunday hasn't quit on this season. If that's the case, it's tough to imagine Whisenhunt keeping his job in 2013.

Science Scoops: Does Having Boys or Girls Run in the Family?
by Stephen James O'Meara
Let's say you are a girl who comes from a family of all girls. Does that mean that you, too, have a high probability of bringing a girl into the world? No. In fact, statistical theory suggests otherwise. According to Chance magazine (published by the American Statistical Association), there is no compelling evidence to suggest that family history plays a role in whether a family has male or female children.
The fact is, statistically, around one-eighth of all four-child families are expected to be all-male or all-female under a chance model. And it's possible, statistically, for families of up to 10 children to be all of the same sex. There is no evidence that having boys (or girls) has either genetic or shared environmental sources of influence.
- genetic: Of or relating to the branch of biology that deals with how characteristics are passed from parents to offspring.
- statistical: Relating to a collection or set of numbers, facts, or other data.
To complete this activity, please print and use the chart titled: Trait Chart (PDF file).
- Some traits are inherited, or passed along, from parents to their children. Other traits are acquired, or learned by an organism after it is born. Think of five things that you do in your life that you learned how to do by watching or learning from someone else. Print out the chart and write one trait at the top of each column. Beneath each trait, circle "Learned on My Own" if you learned this trait on your own or "Someone Taught Me" if you learned this trait because someone else taught it to you. If someone else taught you the trait, write down that person's name.

We need a bit more info on your situation before commenting on the venison. First of all, has your cat been to the vet? If so, what tests were done and what was the treatment? Does he still have bloody urine or is it gone now?
As for the raw venison, are you just feeding ground muscle meat or do you include bones and organs or any supplements? Does he eat anything else?

I wouldn't think so, venison is very good for your cats as long as you are feeding cat food or organs and bones along with it. Is your cat under vet care for the blood? What is the diagnosis?

Please Help!
I am new to this forum. I have a 16 year old cat with was just diagnosed with renal disease. She has a very mild case. The vet recommended Purina NF, but since this happened, I have been doing research on food ingredients in cat food and I am unhappy with what Purina contains. I have tried contacting wellness and blue buffalo to see what they have for low phosphorus food but upon learning that I have a cat with renal disease, they refuse to give me any information and say I should contact my vet. I contacted my vet who would only recommend what they have on their shelf, which if Science Diet (Which I will never feed) and Purina. I have fed my cats nothing but dry food (and canned food for a treat once in a while) for their entire lives, only to find out that it should have been the other way around. I am starting pretty much from scratch and I don't know what to do. I don't want to feed her a poor diet, she has already lost almost 4 pounds in the last year and a half, and thats mostly muscle, she has been having problems jumping or even if she tries to run, her back end can't keep up with her. I hate to see her decline and I want to put her on a nutritous food that will keep all her levels where they should be but also help her get to a healthy muscle mass. I know she is supposed to have low phosphorus levels, but I don't know how to go about calculating how much she should have or what she shouldn't have. I have read that I should stay away from fish products, and that chicken or turkey is the best. I am already feeding her an all wet canned food diet (which she prefers). If someone could help me to figure out what would be the best for me to feed her, I would greatly appreciate the help. When the vet turned me away I was in tears because I feel helpless. I don't want to see my best friend waste away. Please Help!
Now I wouldn't just focus on finding the lowest phosphorus food, there are other factors to consider. First and foremost is what your kitty is willing to eat. Also the quality of the ingredients, the amount and type of protein (lowest isn't best, and plant protein or by-products aren't great either). I think variety is important, so rotating several brands and flavours is a good idea. If your cat (what's her name, by the way?) has normal serum phosphorus levels, you may not need to limit the food phosphorus levels dramatically anyway (just keeping an eye on not feeding anything too high).
Is a raw diet an option? My cat has thrived on raw and will be turning 20 in a couple months, despite having diabetes for the last 10 yrs (which he got eating Science Diet kibble, I should add).

My cat's name is Tilly. She has always been over weight. Between 12-14 lbs all her adult life. She is normally an eager eater, and eats most of her food right away, or heads back soon to finish the rest. I resently started feeding her Nature's Variety Instincts Duck and Rabbit Varieties. She seems to like it better than the Purina NF. With Purina NF she wouldn't even come to the bowl when I would feed her. I would have to go get her and put her in front of the bowl. and even then she wouldn't eat but a little bit and then leave it to waste. She is currently down to 11 lbs. if not more. She was in to see the vet in August, and at that time weighed 12.5. When she went in a month ago She weighed in at 11. most of the weigh she has lost is along her spine and hip region. She does have hip issues as far as arthritis, but it has never hindered her in the past until this problem reared it's ugly head. Its only of the reasons I knew something was wrong. She has been acting lethargic and doesn't have much of an appetite or a lot of energy. She seems a little more excited about the Nature's Variety, but not like she used to. I feel like she is trying to tell me something is wrong. She just wants to sit in my lap and be held all the time (which I love) but it's not like her. Don't get me wrong, she is a very snuggly cat, but it's to the 10th degree. She won't be in any room without me. I just feel like she is trying to tell me she doesn't feel well. I read somewhere that you can give Pedialyte to give more electrolytes, so I thought I would try that. She is not on Cosequin, although she was in the past, it didn't seem to help her though. But that was when she was 12 or so. I haven't ever considered a raw diet, I don't know much about it, and I always thought it was too high in protein for an older cat. I guess I'm not sure how much of protein and other nutrients that she is supposed to get. I've read a lot of things on both sides of the fence. Some say more calories to help build muscle and keep on the weight. Others say less. I'm just so confused. I only want what's best for her. I've had her since I was 10 years old and she is my best friend. I appreciate all the help I can get!
In the second link you provided, are those up to date? Because on the back of the can the Crude Protein is 10.0%, Phos. .20% and moisture is 75.0%
Which would make the dry matter for Protein 40.0%, Phos. .8%. Is that right? I kind of self taught and I guess I'm not sure if I am doing it right.
Looking for a good Low Phosphorus food.
My Missy was diagnosed with CKD little over a weeks ago. Her doctor could only see one kidney by way of xray. She was very ill, so she spent 4 days hospitalized. During her stay she received fluids through IV. However, we could not get her to eat. They eventually syringed fed her. She looked so much better by day 2 of her stay. Upon her release her doctor recommended sub cutaneous fluid treatment twice a week and be placed a special diet and something to bind the phosphorous.
She's been home five days now and I cannot get her to eat. I've tried Prescription K/D and Felin Renal modified, in dry and wet formulas. The most I get her to do is a couple of licks of food. So, I've been giving her old food, which she eats only a few kibbles.
I don't know what to do. Can anyone recommend food low in phosphorous that cats seem to like.

The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) is suspending Market Choices, the grain-marketing program and certification mark, and the program will be phased out by the fall of 2009.
The Market Choices program began in 2002 to help producers and the grain-marketing channel identify corn hybrids not approved in the European Union and segregate the grain away from the EU export market. Since 2007, a zero tolerance for traits not fully approved in the EU has made it virtually impossible for the EU to import U.S. corn and derived products, diminishing the program's value.
"Discussions have been held in the EU seeking an allowable tolerance for biotech traits approved in the U.S. but not in the EU to facilitate trade, but there is no indication that such a tolerance, if granted, would be at a commercially viable level for exports to continue from the United States," says Andy LaVigne, president and CEO of ASTA. "We reviewed the effectiveness, usefulness and value of the certification mark. After careful consideration, ASTA decided to suspend the use of the Market Choices certification mark and program over the next year."
LaVigne says programs will remain in place to provide information regarding regulatory approval of biotech events in export markets, and if the EU should provide for a commercially viable tolerance or demonstrate a functioning regulatory system for the approval of biotech traits, the program will be reevaluated.
"This decision is a reaction to the real situation in the EU," says Jerry Harrington, spokesman for Pioneer. "As an ASTA member, we support the decision and look forward to a more timely biotech approval process or a more realistic tolerance program from the EU."

A Selden Rodkicker is designed to perform many functions. First, it facilitates sail handling when reefing, preventing the boom from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coach roof. Next, when fitted with Selden gas spring, that keeps the boom lifted when the vang line is released, opening the leech of the sail.
The extended block attachment lug allows the block to turn, so you can easily operate from port or starboard. The end fittings have an enclosed sheaved and recessed split pin that doesn't snag the sails or crew. Inner extrusion end plug prevents metal to metal contact by acting as an easy-slide bushing. The upper sliding bearing is designed as an elastic buffer to diffuse the shock if the kicker suddenly bottoms. Carefully tested to meet strict performance and quality standards. Made of anodized aluminum.
This No Spring Rodkicker is standard equipment on Selden equipped Hunter boats.
Designed for boats that are either fractional and weighing 9.9 tons or masthead weighing 12.0 tons.
- Height of Boom (HBX): Less/equal to 1800mm (70.9in)
- Minimum Length: 2200mm (86.6in)

To teach is to serve God. I do it with humility, passion and enthusiasm. It is humbling for me to teach, inspire, influence, encourage and love my students. This past year, I stepped out of my comfort as an educator to high school mathematics students and entered a Ph.D. Program at the Seattle Pacific University. I was offered the opportunity to share my practical experiences as an educator to university students who have a desire to pursue education as their career. I was humbled by the prospect to inspire future educators so I gratefully accepted challenge. It was my mission to provide them with a strong educational foundation that will effectively demonstrate confidence, competence and passion when they are in the instructional environment. My vocation as a university instructor is certainly a rewarding one, however, I quickly learned the challenge is unique and does not compare to teaching high school students. As I reflect on my teaching schedule, my knowledge and expertise as an educator are resources I am able to integrate in the classroom. My students belong to the Alternate Route to Certification (ARC), Masters in Teaching Mathematics and Science (MTMS), and Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs. Knowledge of their background, endorsement and grade level of teaching helps me to mold my instruction to address best practices specific to their needs. I especially enjoy learning about the effect of the various instructional strategies and reflective tools they are able to utilize during their internship through reflections and class discussions. I am grateful to teach students who have a desire to make a difference. This has become a vital means to my educational goal and has opened up an array of future opportunities to explore.

LONDON (Reuters) - The E. coli outbreak gripping Europe is on a scale never seen before, but infection rates should start to slow if people in Germany heed advice to avoid raw vegetables, a leading EU scientist said on Wednesday.
Denis Coulombier, head of surveillance and response for the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which monitors disease in the region, said health experts are shocked at the number of cases, which point to a "huge contamination" probably of vegetables, at some point in the food chain.
That contamination could have happened "anywhere from the farm to the fork," he said, and it is now down to food safety authorities in Germany to pinpoint where as quickly as possible.
"It's certainly something we haven't seen before in the EU (European Union) and probably in the world. Such a large outbreak ... with so many severe cases has never been seen in the past," Coulombier said in a telephone interview from the ECDC's headquarters in Stockholm.
German officials on Wednesday reported a dramatic increase in the numbers infected in the E. coli outbreak which has so far killed 16 people.
The outbreak, which began in May and is centered on the north German city of Hamburg, has made more than 1,500 people ill in eight European countries, and led to an international row over the source of the contamination.
Coulombier, a medical doctor and a specialist in tropical diseases and public health, said there were three types of food that, if contaminated, could cause such an outbreak of E. coli — meat, milk and vegetables. There is currently no indication that raw milk or meat is to blame here, he said, but studies so far show a strong link between disease symptoms and the consumption of fresh vegetables.
The ECDC has identified the most severe illnesses as hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious complication of a type of E. coli known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).
Coulombier said the size and severity of the outbreak suggested contamination of a very large number of vegetables.
"To have such a high number of severe cases means that probably there was a huge contamination at some junction," he said. "That could have been anywhere from the farm to the fork — in transport, packaging, cleaning, at wholesalers, or retailers — anywhere along that food chain."
German authorities have advised people to avoid eating raw fresh vegetables and salads, including cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes. Coulombier said the next few days would be crucial in showing whether that advice was working.
"The duration of the incubation and the duration of the disease to develop into a severe form suggests that the cases we have seen in recent days were probably infected before the public health announcements," he said. "So those measures should show their effectiveness from now and in the coming few days."
To try to limit the number of deaths, it was vital that potentially severe cases are picked up as early as possible, he said. While stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhea are common symptoms of E. coli infection, bloody diarrhea is one of main tell-tale symptoms of the most severe cases of STEC which may develop into HUS. HUS affects the blood, the kidneys and, in severe cases, the central nervous system.

Buffalo signed him to a five-year contract
BUFFALO — Sabres general manager Tim Murray wasn't kidding about how much he wanted center Tyler Ennis to be part of Buffalo's long-term future.
A person familiar with the agreement confirmed to The Associated Press early Thursday that the Sabres have reached a deal to re-sign Ennis to a five-year contract worth about $23 million. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres haven't announced the deal.
The NHL Network first reported the agreement on Wednesday.
Ennis was a restricted free agent after the Sabres retained his rights by tendering him a contract offer last month.
He is a speedy, play-making forward who led the Sabres with a career-best 21 goals and added 22 assists in 80 games last season.
Last month, Murray spoke highly of how he foresaw Ennis being part of his rebuilding plan in Buffalo. The Sabres (21-51-10) finished last, set a franchise record for losses, and established a post-NHL-expansion-era low by scoring just 150 goals last season.
"I like his approach to the game. I like his compete level. I like his speed," Murray said. "There's a lot of things I like about him, and if we can do a long-term deal with him, then obviously the decision we've made is we'd go forward with him."
Ennis was the second of Buffalo's two 2008 first-round draft picks. He is a two-time 20-goal scorer and, overall, has 69 goals and 97 assists in 267 career games over four-plus seasons with the Sabres.
Murray has already been busy restocking the Sabres this summer.
Buffalo made a splash in free agency by signing forwards Matt Moulson and Brian Gionta and defensemen Josh Gorges and Andrej Meszaros. Center Sam Reinhart, selected with the No. 2 pick in the draft last month, will also have a shot at making the team this season.

Let Them Eat... Broccoli?!?
Let them eat cake... er broccolli... er broccoli that looks like cake?
Hidden Valley is launching a new ad campaign aimed at getting your kids to eat vegetables. The main ad features, "Three perfect broccoli cupcakes sitting atop a cake stand with Hidden Valley(R) Original Ranch(R) dressing replacing typical buttercream
frosting," and apparently there's another one of carrot "french fries" topped with ranch dressing. The slogan on the bottom says "Makes Vegetables Delectable," but - I kid you not - the press release says the ads showcase vegetables going from "plain to insane!" Plain to insane indeed...
"Our aim was to capture life in Hidden Valley -- a place where
vegetables are as delectable as treats," said Chad Ackley, creative
director at DDB. "We know moms struggle to get their kids to eat well, and
we believe our message provides a reminder that the taste of Hidden Valley
Ranch has the power to encourage kids to eat their vegetables."
I don't know if this is going to fool any kids - after all broccoli is still broccoli - but I will admit, it does make it look tastier. And totally off topic, I really want that cake stand.

2010 Nissan ARMDA SE ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Full-size SUV.
The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV, with seven-passenger seating, acres of cargo space, and a serious towing capacity. Armada is rated to tow a 9,000-pound trailer. There are no major changes for 2010.
New for 2010 are the Titanium and Platinum models, which slot roughly below and above (respectively) the now-discontinued LE. Both offer higher levels of standard and optional equipment than the base SE, and are distinguished by a fair amount of bright exterior trim plus leather upholstery with contrasting stitching.
Armada has a healthy V8 engine and five-speed automatic designed for serious work, yet tamed to smoothness and background hum; and independent suspension all around capable of delivering a good ride, accurate response, and durability off the highway. This is genuine 4WD in the vein of the Land Cruiser and Grand Cherokee, not merely an all-wheel-drive system for inclement weather. Yet you can drive it in urban settings without feeling you're piloting the QE2 down the Potomac.
Armada is a good vehicle if you need it. If you don't tow much or need the larger third-row seats, there are alternatives. With a set of four winter tires and 4WD, an Armada can go places that you never expected. Drive it and you'll discover a level of quiet strength and refinement you haven't before experienced in a Nissan truck.
The 2010 Nissan Armada is offered in two- and four-wheel-drive, and with standard SE, mid-level Titanium, or upscale Platinum trim. All are available with flex-fuel capability in selected markets.
Armada SE 2WD ($37,210) comes with cloth upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated outside mirrors, eight-speaker stereo with 6CD player and MP3/WMA capability, eight-way power driver's seat, four-way manual passenger seat, power adjustable pedals, split bench reclining second-row seat, 60/40 split folding third row seat, and 18-inch alloy wheels with a painted finish.
Armada SE 4WD ($42,810) is somewhat better equipped, with fog lights, an 11-speaker Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, RearView Monitor, a power-folding third row, and a tow package that includes a self-leveling for the rear suspension. The SE Driver's Package ($2,500) adds these features to the 2WD model; all but the tow package, that is, which can be added separately ($300).
Armada Titanium 2WD ($42,140) and 4WD ($44,940) also add all of the Driver's Preferred features and the tow package, plus leather seats, power passenger seat, Intelligent Key, and 20-inch machine-finish wheels. Options for Titanium include DVD entertainment ($1,600), a power glass sunroof ($1,000), and an in-cabin microfilter ($50).
Platinum ($49,390) and Platinum 4WD ($52,190) upgrade further with all of the standard and optional equipment listed above, plus heated front seats and steering wheel, memory for driver's seat and pedals, power rear liftgate, navigation with XM NavTraffic real-time traffic information, 9.3GB Music Box hard drive, XM Satellite Radio, power folding mirrors with turn signal repeaters and puddle lamps, front sonar, and 20-inch chrome wheels. Second-row captain's chairs ($450) are the only factory option.
Items such as splash guards ($150), floor mats ($220), and a cargo organizer ($240) can be installed by the dealer.
Safety features that come standard on all Armadas now include front-seat side-impact airbags, as well as three-row curtain airbags, the mandated frontal airbags, and active front head restraints. Active safety features include electronic stability control, ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist. Optional safety features include a front proximity sensor, and the RearView monitor.
With its arching window line, semi-concealed rear door handles and Titan-esque front end, there is no mistaking the Armada for a generic sport-utility. Six-and-a-half feet tall and wide, it rides on a longer wheelbase than any full-size SUV except the Ford Expedition EL, Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL.
The three-part front grille conveys a strong Nissan-truck identity, its black cross-hatch texture framed by color-matched plastic on SE and chrome on Titanium and Platinum. The lower air opening sneers menacingly, a cartoon-character reflection of the Armada's big, bad and fun attitude.
At the rear, a heavily contoured tailgate offers glass-only or full hatch access to cargo with a relatively low lift for such a large truck; and the wiper parks off the glass to avoid interference with access or vision. On models with roof racks, the rack has recessed tie-down loop at each corner for securing cargo without scratching off paint or generating wind whistles.
The new Titanium and Platinum models are distinguished not only by their chrome grille. Mirrors, roof rack (with crossbars), and exhaust tips are also chromed, and bright accents top the standard body-color door moldings. Aluminum alloy wheels are 18 inches in diameter and painted on SE; while Titanium and Platinum come with 20-inch rims, machine-finished on the former and chromed on the latter.
Side steps are standard across the board, watering down the off-road image a bit but making it easier for shorter folks to climb aboard. Those using the 9,000-pound tow rating will appreciate the rear proximity sensors and optional rearview monitor for hooking up trailer, a great time saver that reduces the chance of a scratched rear bumper.
The Nissan Armada cabin looks, feels and sounds like a state-of-the-art SUV, and not like something lifted straight out of a work truck. (In fact, none of the interior pieces are shared with the Titan pickup.) The leather on the new Titanium and Platinum models features contrasting-color stitching. Interior woodgrain has been improved for 2010 as well.
The cabin is generously proportioned, with more middle row legroom than the front of many cars, seating for seven or eight people, and nearly 100 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats to be split in a variety of ways. There are plenty of spaces to put smaller items and 14 beverage holders, some able to contain a half-gallon bottle. The front passenger seat folds flat into a tray table on the SE, but (oddly) not on the up-level models.
Slide into the driver's seat and the sense of power envelopes even before anything is started. A commanding view forward is matched by the view to the back, which is relatively unobstructed, although the windshield pillars get quite wide at the base and conspire with large outside mirrors that could create blind spots for shorter drivers. With adjustments for pedals, seat and steering wheel, everyone can find a comfortable driving position.
Large captain's chairs are provided up front. A soft-touch sweeping dash encompasses complete instrumentation, woodgrain trim, a variety of colors and textures, and a comprehensive central area for control of audio, climate, drive, and (on Platinum) navigation systems, now based on a computer hard drive that also handles music and displays real-time traffic info through XM Satellite Radio. For the sheer volume of controls everything is well-placed and fairly intuitive, although we admit some confusion over two Back buttons just two inches apart on some models. You do not need the Platinum's navigation system to have a rear-view camera.
The middle row is a 40/20/40 split bench, unless you order the Platinum with captain's chairs and a console. The latter are more comfy, the former more functional, although the center rider should be of narrow persuasion to avoid pinching from seat belts and hinges.
Access to the third row is aided by the low floor, itself a byproduct of independent rear suspension (shared only by Ford Expedition in this class). The leather-look seat splits 60/40 for best load flexibility; a power fold third row is standard on most models. A full-length overhead console contains rear air controls and vents and reading lights for both back rows.
On Platinum models, the overhead console also houses an 8-inch screen for the DVD player. The system comes with two sets of wireless headphones, a remote control and a separate video port.
Desert testing wasn't on the program, but the combination of opening rear quarter windows (powered on Platinum) and a powerful ventilation system did keep third row occupants comfortable in an 83-degree thunderstorm gridlock in a black-on-black Armada. With 11 speakers throughout, myriad source choices, and marked reductions in road and engine noise, the sound system easily keeps a crew entertained.
Driving Impression
The Nissan Armada is a sizable piece of equipment in which you feel the heft, yet it doesn't become an impediment. It drives like a really big, high car, a notable feat considering it has the strength of a truck frame underneath, more than 10 inches of ground clearance and a 4WD system that will get you off the road and not just through the snow. With tight steering and defined corners, it's also more maneuverable than you'd expect, on the trail or street, but pay attention to garage clearance signs.
The Titanium and Platinum models come with 20-inch wheels and Michelin lower-profile, road-biased tires. Typically a setup such as this exacts a penalty in ride comfort, road noise, isolation and so forth with nary a worthwhile gain in grip, but Nissan has paid impressive attention to noise and vibration issues. What we did notice with the 20-inch wheels is a slightly crisper response to the steering wheel.
Hundred-mile driving legs were dispatched in short order, stress-free to the point the six-foot passenger in back dozed off mid-day. Since off-road trucks are the only racing vehicles of this size and weight the Armada is a better cruiser than a sports car, though the independent rear end keeps it more stable and less influenced by bumps mid-corner than most competitors. Stability control is standard and barring driver inattention will never be felt without an outside influence.
One thing Nissan did lift from the Titan is the drivetrain, and it is a keeper. Based on its more relevant 385 pound-feet of torque, the Armada's 317-horsepower, 5.6-liter V8 is still the strongest standard engine in its class, although competitors are catching up. Mileage will typically range in the low-to-mid teens. Although it's not the most powerful SUV on the planet, the Armada's V8 and perfectly matched five-speed automatic make it very quick for its bulk and adept at pulling a crew of wakeboarders and their 6,000-pound boat. Max towing is 9,000 pounds, but better to go with a large, longer-wheelbase pickup if that's to be routine.
The brakes on all models feature the full complement of electronic assists. Two-wheel-drive models use traction control, and 4WD models offer a 4Auto setting designed for daily use regardless of weather or road conditions. With good winter tires, you could follow the National Guard through a blizzard.
The Nissan Armada has enough features and amenities for a sybarite, flexible capability for cargo and passengers, and all the mechanical stoutness of a full-size truck without the rough ride and racket, wrapped up in a burly yet polished package in which you won't see yourself coming and going or mistaken for someone else at every intersection.

HILLSVILLE — Carroll County High School has received recognition by Virginia Living magazine as one of the top schools in the state.
CCHS will be featured in the publication's October edition, Director of School Improvement Beverly Adams-Parker said at the Carroll County School Board's Sept. 9 meeting.
Along with only 21 school divisions out of Virginia's 132 total, Galax City Public Schools achieved full accreditation from the Virginia Department of Education.
This information was released Sept. 16 by the VDOE.
The percentage of schools meeting state accreditation standards lessens for a second consecutive year as a result of the more rigorous reading, writing, science and mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) tests introduced since 2011, according to the VDOE.
CANA — When Special Education teacher Jacob Adams sat down on the chair in front of the St. Paul School entrance, he wasn't quite prepared for the bucket of bright green slime two students were holding just inches behind his head.
Outwardly, he remained calm until the mob of students flanking both entrances to the building started counting down in unison: "Five…Four…Three…Two…One!"
INDEPENDENCE – Falling enrollment in Grayson County could cause a more than $1 million school budget shortfall if things don't improve before the end of the year.
School Division Superintendent Kevin Chalfant told the Grayson School Board last week that, although things looked "pretty dire" at the beginning of the school year, enrollment has since come up a little.
The division started the year with only 1,693 students enrolled, but as of the latest numbers that had risen to 1,719.
The Galax School Board on Sept. 9 tabled a decision to purchase a Kipling Lane property for the building of a new elementary school until the next meeting.
This decision was made due to the city's policy of a 30-day window for appeals following a zoning decision — in this case, city council's approval the previous night of the school board's conditional use permit for the property.
INDEPENDENCE – All seven of Grayson County's schools were accredited for the 2013-14 school year – though four received warning in at least one subject.
Grayson's Director of Instruction and Assessment Stephen Cornett provided the school board with an update on the accreditation status during the board's regular meeting last week.
"All schools are accredited," Cornett told the board. "Although some are with warning."
After a lengthy final public hearing on the matter, Galax City Council members voted unanimously to approve the school board's request for a conditional use permit for a parcel of residentially zoned land off Fries Road for the construction of a new school.
Thirteen speakers — including residents of the neighborhood where the school is to be built, Galax Elementary School staff and Schools Superintendent Bill Sturgill — took the floor to argue their points.
INDEPENDENCE – Students in Grayson County may soon be excluded from extra-curricular activities and offered an alternative lunch if school cafeteria debts are paid up after administrators discussed a growing debt with school board members this month.
Grayson County Public Schools' Director of Personnel Judy Greear approached the board during its regular meeting this month to discuss what she called a "spiraling problem" over the last few years – debt in the cafeterias.
By DON RICHESON, Staff
INDEPENDENCE — Results were mixed for Grayson County students who took the state's Standards of Learning exams last year.
The results, released last month by the Virginia Department of Education, show that overall the students improved in two main categories, but fell in three, although the tests reportedly increased in difficulty over the previous year.
Galax City Schools are fully accredited this year (2013-2014), according to the Virginia State Department of Education.
In order to achieve accreditation, each school must achieve a passing rate of at least 75 percent in English Standards of Learning (SOL) tests and 70 percent in math, science, history and social science SOLs.
High schools, additionally, must hit an 85 percent mark on the Graduation and Completion Index, meaning that 85 percent of the students must graduate, get a GED or achieve a certification of completion.

Great Britain have announced their squad for the upcoming IAAF World Youth Championships, that will be hosted by Ukraine in July.
A squad of 26 athletes is being taken to Donetsk to compete and Great Britain will be looking to build upon the five medals that they won in the same competition two years ago.
Amongst Britain's main medal hopes is 16-year-old Morgan Lake. The heptathlete broke Katarina Johnson-Thompson's, who impressed at the Olympics in 2012, U17's British record last year and was in good form at the England Athletics Combined Events Championships earlier this month, where she took the gold medal.
Elsewhere Harry Coppel and Bobby Clay will also be hoping to return from the championships with a medal.
Speaking to British Athletics about the team, development manager Jo Jennings said: "We have a really promising team heading out to the Ukraine for the World Youth Championships and I'm sure the athletes will take inspiration from some of the names that have competed on this stage before.
"The likes of Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Jessica Judd, Asha Philip and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey have all experienced what it's like to be a part of a GB & NI team at the early stages of their careers, and believe it's a great base to work from.
"There have been some strong performances around the world this year, but I'm confident that the team that has been picked will mix it with the best and remain competitive throughout."
The full squad is as follows: Reuben Arthur, Ojie Edoburun, Reece Prescod, Thomas Somers, Kyle Langford, Jack Crabtree, Liam Dee, Matthew Axe, Haran Dunderdal, Euan Dickson-Earle, Harry Coppell, Adam Hague, Kai Jones, Taylor Campbell, Shannon Hylton, Sabrina Bakare, Emily Jenkinson, Chelsea Jarvis, Bobby Clay, Bronwen Owen, Moesha Howard, Shirin Irving, Robyn Petitt, Adele Nicoll, Georgie Taylor, Morgan Lake

This week Mediiia Whore will be trying something new, the last two questions will be scored based on the discussion after the show in the Mediiia Whore forum. After you have seen the episode you will have 72 hours to make your best case for the dumbest and smartest moves during the episode. This can be anything that happens minus recaps, credits and previews. The correct answers will be based on who makes the best case for each question. Humor and creative logic will all factor in Mediiia Whore's final decision.
Here's a funny thing, though, if you go to Snewser's page where he has the pictures of the Survivors and click on Eliza's name, you are sent to the picture of the crying queen with the running eye makeup. What's that all about?
But the only real spoiler I had was the bootees: Mia and John P, and everyone had that already. All the other stuff was pure speculation.
