Come on down to the Liquid Center today, or maybe head out to your favorite specialty beer store and purchase some of this Finnish inspired Sahti Ale, spiced with juniper (among other things (I believe love and rainbow dust are on the ingredients sheet (but please don't quote me on that)) and then pour this hazy amber beauty into a glass and sip until your palette (and heart) is content:
Expect some pine aromas and flavors to present themselves in Sahti, as well as the glorious juniper bush (is it a bush? maybe a tree? I'm not sure), we use the boughs and the berries in the making of this fine beer and we hope you like it. So go get yours.

This has been a busy week. The Tour de Fat, then Labor Day, followed by a few days of meetings in which I spent my time learning ways to better communicate with those around me (not court sanctioned (btw)). And at the conclusion of yesterday's session I rode my bicycle on back to New Belgium HQ and helped the crew slang a few tasters. It was busy in the Liquid Center and my co-workers looked as though they could use a spare hand or two (I have two). So I stepped up and filled some miniature glasses with beer and leaned in to discuss different subjects with different people (or as I like to call it: doing my my job (hard work but someone has to do it)). . Then I came across a woman that was reading a book at the bar. Normally an action such as this requires the bartender to leave the guest alone and let them read in peace while quietly wondering why this person would be reading at a bar, but that just isn't my style. I rested my forearms on the bar in front of the woman (I later learned that her name is Emily) and said "whatcha' reading?" This is the question that most reading types hate while they are mid-sentence (reading types love the question if the book is not open in front of them). She responded "Science Fiction". I have never been much of a sci-fi fan but I am a fan of talking to people and also I wanted to get to what was really on my mind, why is this woman was reading in a bar and on top of that how does she have the concentrational fortitude to pull it off. It turns out that she just was caught up in the book and couldn't put it down and that led me to assume that she didn't have any beer at home so reading in the Liquid Center was her best option. These things all piled together answered my more deep rooted question and I took away from this conversation with Emily that all it takes to find yourself reading in the bar is a good book, one that totally sucks you in, and this is the type of book that I need to find, and purchase (or borrow), then read, vigorously. My own book selection lately has left a little to be desired. I have gone through a couple re-reads, a couple non-fictions, some trashy novels and man I wish I could just find something good. So why am I talking about this here (and now)? Because I would like to solicit the feedback of the world on this subject... What was the last good book that you read and who wrote it and why was it awesome? Please good people, I need you're help, go ahead and comment and tell me what I should read. It would be a huge help that in turn would be repaid with a gusto-filled high-5 (either real or virtual).
Then after my encounter with Emily I finished up my afternoon/early evening and began to mentally prepare for the Bike-in Movie. The Thursday night bike-in movie is a late summer tradition around these parts and last night the movie was a little something different; a Clips of Faith screening. The Clips of Faith is a fun event that we started doing this year that involves a short film festival (not overall length of the festival but, in fact, movies less than 10 minutes in duration), some awesome Lips of Faith beers, and supporting non-profits in communities around the country. Read more about it here. And last night (as previously stated) this show came to Fort Collins. We even had the winning film makers present to introduce their movies. It was super fun. So I rolled up and realized I didn't have any money so I borrowed a few bucks from a friend got my wrist band and mosied on in. The beer token situation is a little different at this event, for 5 bucks you get 5 tokens , to purchase one full pint of beer the volunteer would to take all 5 tokens, or you could exchange 1 token for a sample of a Lips of Faith beer. This is the way to go in my opinion, last night I got to taste Eric's Ale, Fall Wild Ale, Biere de Mars and a few other beers (if you notice these beers are no longer available to purchase but the CoF got some hidden barrels and bottles and is taking them around the country with them). This was so fun, watching short films, sitting in the grass and drinking awesome beers that you can no longer find, or beers that you can find but maybe have never heard of. Doesn't this sound like an unforgettable evening of fun and (dare I say) whimsy? What this is leading up to here is a little piece of advice from me to you, go to this festival (there is only 4 left and in the southeast no less), and if not this year, go next year because it should be even better.

I was strolling around Whole Food's this morning doing a little gathering (in the modern hunter/gatherer kind of way) and finding some cheese to present at a good friend's wedding this weekend (in lieu of a gift the soon to be nuptialed couple has asked us all to bring a specific food item, I got the cheese plate (and it is going to be the best cheese plate in the whole world, cows, goats and sheep will all be accounted for, not to mention the crackers)). And as the rest of my grocery getting was happening I decided to peruse the meat case. As you may know Whole Foods has a great meat counter, great product, helpful staff, and selection to beat the band. And as you may also know I love sausages (brats, Italian, hot dogs, etc..). The pairing of my love for this style of meat and the selection at Whole Foods is like unicorns and rainbows; a perfect harmony. As I was inspecting all of my choices I came across this:
A beer brat made with NBB's own 1554! This is amazing! The fellow behind the case said that it was one of his favorites (and I didn't even tell him that I work for New Belgium until later). I believe his quote was "if this sausage was a cologne I would spray it all over myself". That is saying something (really). So it is obvious what is for dinner at the JUICEBOX house tonight, and I bet you can guess what the beer pairing is going to be, that's right: 1554 (an Enlightened Black Ale). It is my hope that this pairing brings out those rich, dark flavors from the 1554 and shows off the summery-ness that is possible from this dark beer as well as display the fun of bar-b-queing sausage after work (a side dish will also be eaten). I will keep you informed about the results.
And, up for this coming Tuesday's blog post is a trip to the famed New Belgium corking line. I will take you all through the process of corking bottles as well as the special beer that was put in there. Stay tuned.

Well it's Tuesday, I was up early and ready to complete all tasks at hand. And the task staring me right in the face now is this post, and for this post I wanted to offer a few things to you. First, another great beer and food pairing: green chili beef tacos with Hoptober. I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon stewing up some flank steak in onions, garlic, and a little broth (water at first, then eventually I could call it broth). It slowly cooked, tenderizing and readying itself for the shredding. On the other side of the stove I had a pan cooking up more garlic and onions and thrown in there were some fresh roasted green chilies. These just weren't any green chilies either, these green chilies were tumble roasted right here in town by some guy with an awesome mustache (picture unavailable). I de-stemmed and seeded the chilies, cut them into strips and added them to the pan for further cooking. After a few hours of simmering the beef I let the broth simmer as the steak cooled to a more shred-able temperature, then my hands and two forks went to town on the meat, pulling it apart and stringing it out. When the shred was complete I put the strings (maybe webs describes it better) back into the broth and then added the onions, garlic, and chilies from the other pan. I stirred it all up and let it cook for another hour or so on a real light simmer. When the food was ready I warmed some tortillas and chopped some cilantro and made tacos, glorious tacos. At first I was thinking Ranger IPA would be the perfect beer for this dinner (as seen on my twitter feed @carnie_nbb (go ahead, follow me, it will be fun)), but as I went to the fridge for said IPA I discovered that none was at hand, but what was sitting on the top shelf were a few bottles of Hoptober, our Autumn seasonal (I prefer Autumn to Fall as a seasonal nomenclature (Autumn sounds seasony while Fall is to verb-ish)). This is a great hoppy, golden ale that has wheat and rye and oats crammed in with the barley as well as five hop varietals giving it a really nice bitter bite. This beer along side the (sort of) spicy green chili tacos was even better than if I had IPA in the fridge. The Ranger would have been perfect if the tacos were spicier, but having kind of a mellow spice to the meat, the slightly mellower Hoptober was the right beer to have standing next to it (photo unavailable (you will notice through the entirety of this post that my camera was never handy when a photo-op presented itself.)). The green chilies brought out the bitter of the hops and the citrusy and piney notes of the beer really made the tacos seem spicier and more full flavored. The long-stewed meat and the Hoptober both had a nice lingering mouth feel allowing me to continue to taste the dinner between bites helping me slow down and enjoy the experience. The meal as a whole was like two leprechaun's kissing while swimming in a their pot of gold, a little dreamlike.
Heading back in time from last night's dinner I would like to tell you about Saturday. Now Saturday is the first day of a lot of people's weekend, but not for this guy. Saturday is routinely the busiest day in the Liquid Center and technically my Friday. At the end of Saturday I am either totally pumped for a night on the town, or profoundly exhausted. This last Saturday I was extra ready to party, and here is why:
That there is the Watson Twins and they were playing a show in Fort Collins Saturday night and I am a fan. But when the twins got to town with their band and had an afternoon to kill we here at New Belgium HQ we lucky enough to show them a good time, they wanted a tour, and I just happened to be ready to give them a tour (again, photos non-existent). All five of them showed up Saturday afternoon (the twins (Chandra and Liegh) as well as Kip, Harris and Ed) ready to enjoy a few beers and hear me ramble on about the brewery that I love. We talked history, process, wood beer, and culture (and other stuff too) all the while walking around and having a great time. Then the tour ended and I went back to work even more excited about the show later that evening. I was excited before, but after meeting the band and coming to know just how awesome they all are made me even more psyched. Then the show. It was great. And if you have never seen them do yourself a favor and go see them as soon as you can (they are heading into the mid and upper-mid west as this typing happens) it will be worth it for you (I promise (and my word is as good as gold)).
And that brings us to the end, all ready to charge headlong into the week ahead. Have a lovely day today, and make sure tommarow is even better.
And PS. Here is a video to help show the awesome-ness of the Watson Twins:

So I'm back from my weekend in the middle west and I have stories to tell. It was a wonderful couple of days full of family time and friendly activities. It started with Sunday at the pool. All my brothers and their families were present and we swam and jumped off a nice diving board. I tried to do a flip and didn't make it (it would have been the first successful Juicebox flip). In the process my sun-shades went flying off my face and sank to the bottom of the deep end. This deep end was over 11 feet. In the act of swimming to the bottom for sun-shade retrieval my head felt like it was going to explode. That is deep and I am not much of a water guy. I suffered for those glasses, but I would do it again (they are nice shades). After the Pool and the dinner that followed (fried chicken and potatoes) My beautiful bride and I took a quick nap to gear up for Sunday's main event: Full Moon Fiasco 65, the summertime underwear pool party of destiny! We woke up just in time to ride my parent's bikes over to the park and see a lot of old friends before take off (double meaning: departure of ride and loss of outer clothes). The gathering of friends was fun and old times were caught up on. Then we proceeded, and by "proceeded" I mean that 350 of us went swimming in most of the major fountains in St. Louis. It was fun. At one point we made a human powered whirl-pool outside of a museum, shoes were lost, hair was tussled, and memories were made. As we continued through the city all bodies of water were fair game and anything with a waterfall seemed to count for double. It was a sight, all these people in their skivvies swimming where they wanted to. It was just like I remembered.
At 2:00am-ish the wife and I started to head home and couldn't help but be overcome with elation about our evening (despite the feeling of wet undies rubbing against a bike seat). If you are ever in St. Louis around a full moon you should catch up with these folks, they are experts in fun-having.
All of a sudden Sunday had came and gone and Monday was upon us. This was family time to the end, visiting grandparents, staring at babies, and getting made fun of by my older brothers. Again, just as I remember.
Tuesday was Zoo day and I got to touch a petrified giraffe's tail (I'm not sure that "petrified" is the proper word but it was old, dead, and dried up:
I'm not sure why the woman's key chain says "antelope" it absolutely used to be part of a giraffe (she was even standing outside the giraffe pen). After the giraffes my camera headed to the monkey house. It was super (mid-western) hot out so the monkeys were chilling in the shade and unavailable for photos, but I did capture a shot of my bride of the back of a bronze ape:
The heat and sun of the day made this an uncomfortable moment for her, but she is a good sport about most things and small superficial burns are a small price to pay for a great picture.
At the conclusion of our day at the Zoo it was time for Megan and I to head out to the airport. It was a fun trip and now I feel recharged and ready for the final work weeks of the summer. And it being FRIDAY! there are tours to give and beers to hand out, you should come by, it will be fun.
Until Tuesday my Freinds,
Thursday, July 08, 2010
Well I hope that everyone had a great (and safe) holiday weekend. But now it's over and we can assess the damage. Here in the Fort some friends and I hatched big plans to ride bikes up to Vedauwoo, Wyoming, camp the night away and ride back on Monday. Well it didn't really go down like that. We met at Fort Collin's newest (and super delicious) breakfast joint, Snooze at 7:30am the morning of the forth. The night before someone in our group sent out a text asking if anyone had looked at the weather, none of us had. Meeting in the morning we decided to check it (the weather) out on one of those handy-dandy smart phones; the forecast was bleak. Severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, and hail were all part of the possibilities of the Wyoming day. During breakfast we were discussing all these possibilities and came to the conclusion that riding all day on dirt roads in the rain to sit in the mud during a gigantic thunderstorm was not the best plan. We bagged it, it was kind of sad, the three of us with loaded bikes and full stomachs, standing on a street corner in the rain, the sight was pathetic indeed. We then decided that we had to ride a little, so we looped through town then jumped on the bike path and sat on the first bench to question our decision:
After a few minnutes of raucous debate (you can see that from the photo) we decided that the right move had been launched. Now we were all going to head home, ditch our gear, and then meet back at my house for refreshments and plan making for the day's party (of all the days to bag a bike ride this was a good one (lots of things to do)).
They showed up at O'Bussmann Acres (my house) and we made some breakfast (second breakfast):
Let me tell you how this goes. Take that Blue Paddle (it also tastes great with Sunshine Wheat, Trippel, Hagdorn's Helles etc...) pour it into a pint glass (should fit almost perfect), take one healthy slug from the glass, dropping the beer level down inch or so from the lip of the glass, then, with your favorite OJ (I like Simply Orange), top off the glass. And boom! everyone has the brain food required to completely revise a day's plan.
And that is what we did my friends, we revised. The new plan was go to a block party we knew of, race cruisers, eat bar-b-que. Then, when the fun was exhausted there, head over to a different party, play washers (or Missouri Horse-shoes (if you prefer)), eat more bar-b-que then watch the fireworks from somewhere (destination unknown).
The first part went off without a hitch. The racing was great, the Helles was on tap, and everyone had a great time. It wasn't raining then so there wasn't that much carnage in the crit and smiles were abound. The burgers and sides were great and soon after the meal we took off, group intact, fearing the ribs would be gone by the time we reached house party two (a pajama-jammy-jam?). The ribs were not done (smoking) but the washers were fun. A lot of people were not from Missouri so the competition was not that huge. Most folks were standing on the sidewalk drinking and talking about the impending weather, trying to remember if they brought rain jackets. Then the rain started to fall and shelter was run for, it was bedlam. People running everywhere, beer cans flying, shouting, and stepping over the less fortunate. The group found a leaky EZ-UP to stand under and there was some reminiscing about breakfast and some discussion regarding the bagging of the ride decision (It was the right one, but we still were a little sad about it). We then tried to poke holes in the sides of unopened beer cans with nothing but our thumbs, it is really hard to do.
After sitting under a tarp for an hour or so I decided to brave the weather alone and find a place where the ribs were done and ready to eat, and this is when the groups wheels came off. We all split directions. I maybe shouldn't have left, the professor maybe shouldn't have continued to stand in the rain, and Radke, well Radke didn't make any mistakes. We had full group severing and soloing through the bad weather and slippery train tracks I found myself at my front door, missing my backpack, hungry, and somehow in possession of someone's season pass to Elitch Gardens (it has since been returned).
The fireworks woke me up at about 10pm or so, but going outside to see them was not in the cards. I ended the forth of July falling asleep on the couch watching Footloose, glad to not be sleeping outside in the thunderstoms of the Wyoming wild, with a tired smile smeared across my face. It was a day to remember.

So we have a new entry in the world of Lips of Faith and it is Belgo IPA. This beer is a five hop IPA with Amarillo, Chinook, Cascade, Willamette and Simcoe. These wonderful little plants (and malts, and water and stuff) are then paired with a Belgian yeast for a match made in heaven. This is a mix made to party (as you can tell from the disco ball on the label):
(see, it likes to party, it's dancing right now)
These 22 ounce bottle conditioned beers hit the streets yesterday and can be found in beer stores and bars starting now, or in you live in town you can come by the Liquid Center and give it a try, then buy a few bottles to take home with you, because like I said up top, it is good.
-see you Tuesday,
Around the old beer factory we have a grouping of beers known as the Lips of Faith. These beers tend to be the smaller batches, more esoteric, more (dare I say...) experimental. And onto this group we also pile the contest winning Loose Lips beer. This contest has become a tradition around here and it is something that we are all proud of. Here today I am going to explain it all to you.
Back several years ago we decided that having a contest among co-workers would be fun. The winner would get to team up with the brewers and design the beer of their dreams. The contest has been more or less the same since it's inception, and the rules are simple; a pitcher of beer gets get poured, but into said pitcher flows not one, but three beers in varying percentages, say 50% Fat Tire, 35% Sunshine Wheat, 15% Abbey. All the co-workers that want to participate are corralled into a room far away from the tap towers of the tasting room (as to not see whats being poured). All these co-workers are armed with three things; an empty taster glass, a piece of scrap paper, and a pen. When the pitcher of the beer mixture is brought into the room it is divied up into each participant's small glass, they look at the beer, smell it, and taste it, useing those senses to detect what the three different beers could possibly be. They then write down what they think the three beers are, and in what percentage. The pieces of paper are then handed in and the results are tallied. The person that gets the closest wins. And winning is a big deal. The winner gets to brew what they want in the brewhouse and the beer is then packaged in kegs for sampling in the Liquid Center as well as drinking from large glasses in a few bars and restaurants around our great country (but mostly in Fort Collins). Some previous winners have been Tom's Beer, Adam's ale, Eric's Ale, Jessica's Porter, and many others (anyutime you see a New Belgium beer with someone's name followed by a beer type or style it is a contest winner. This contest is one of my favorite things about working here (i have yet to win, but believe you me, my day is coming).
The reason I bring this up now is that on Wednesday we had another contest and we have another beer coming.

This last Sunday the wife and I went for a lovely car camping expedition. And with all that accompanies the wonderful world of car camping; extra chairs, firewood, the dog, pillows, a cooler, one gets take liberties in cooking extravagant, delicious meals. We packed our cooler full of the sundries that would be come dinner and breakfast and we headed north (and a little west) to Vedauwoo, Wyoming. Vedauwoo is an awesome place (you should go there), full of crazy rock features and lovely trails. We planned on getting there, setting up camp, taking a nice hike, then settling in for dinner.
Things went as planned, the drive was an easy 65 minutes and upon arrival the tent went up, the chairs got put out, and we went for a fantastic hike. The Turtle Rock Loop (I think that's what it's called), a nice five miles (we added a little extra distance with a jaunt around some beaver ponds) of hiking and taking family photos. Fun was had by all. And when we returned back to camp Megan took a nap in the sun and I got the dinner fire burning. I wanted to get a nice bed of coals ready for cooking so I started the fire with plenty of time to spare. When that nice red base was laid I started to get out the dinner foods; baked potatoes, Boulder Sausage brand Italian sausage, buns, stone ground mustard, Fat Tire in a can.
I cracked a can (as any good country chef would do) and wrapped the potatoes in foil. Upon completing what may have been the hardest task of the evening I dropped the potatoes right onto the coals.
Just go ahead and cock your head to the left, my computer (along with no help from the internets) will not allow me to flip this image 90 degrees (sorry, I'm not well versed in the computer arts).
Anywho, doesn't that look tasty already? Now, I like my fire cooked potatoes to be nice and crispy in the skin region, so I like to leave them on the coals for a nice, long time. I cracked another Fat Tire in the interim. Next up: the sausages. I just went a head and threw them right on the grill/grate, but leading up to that I had to boast the fire a little so the flames could reach said tubular meats. I cooked them nice and slow taking time to flip them often, I wanted (as you would want) to cook the inside as well as char up the outside, not just serve them up like a gas station burrito (molten ends and a frozen middle). Nearing the end of the sausage cook cycle I threw the buns on the grate, toasted them up, then got out the mustard for the meats, and butter, as well as salt, pepper, and shredded cheese for the potatoes. I called out to Megan to wake up in time for dinner and we both started filling our plates (actually, we forgot the plates, I used the lid to our larger pot and she used the larger pot itself). She in turn cracked a Fat Tire can (to accompany my Fat Tire can) and we set down for accessorizing our eats. Butter, salt, pepper,and a little shredded cheese for the starches and some stone ground mustard (I like to call it chunky mustard) for the meats.
In eating such a great meal one must consider the pairings, the potatoes went well with the sausages, the mustard was a perfect friend the the meat, and the Fat Tire cans went with.... well, everything. The malty sweetness of the Amber Ale complemented the sugars and starches in the potato so well I thought they might have been made for each other. The crispy skin of the potato had almost a caramel flavor which brought out the can-conditioned flavors of the Fat Tire. And the sausages, well boy-howdy, that was one for the ages. I bought the spicy ones and the spicy sausage just about held hands with the slightly hoppy end to a sip of Fat Tire. The dry finish of the beer pretty well wiped the palette clean for the next bite, and (believe-you-me) I took one (about 20 more after that as well).
So, head out into this world dear readers and cook over that open fire, just remember to bring a few Fat Tires (in a can (perfect for the out-of-doors type occasions)), and please, let me know how it goes.
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
So here it is my friends, the long awaited trip deep into the inner sanctum of New Belgium Micro-Biology Lab (not sure if I should capitalize micro and biology (or lab), but I did (it seems important)).
So my morning started as usual, a stop at the coffee maker, another quick stop at the time clock, then I proceeded right into the deep recesses of the brewery looking for the scientific type to guide me through the goings on in our Micro-Biology lab. I found just the guy, Cody. I started off hot, just firing questions at him, thinking that this would lead him to believe that I understand this subject in anyway at all, and through this very intense succession of questions I came to a couple of question/answers combos that seem relevant to today's subject: what exactly is the importance of the micro lab? His was a two fold response, fold one: yeast propagation. Fold two: contamination detection. And, would I look smart in a lab coat? Cody's answer: most likely, not.
Let's start off with fold two of question/answer combo one, contamination dectection. This is a very important aspect of the biologist and their job. Anytime something (let's say wort (remember wort?)) comes in contact with something else (say the next batch of wort) it has to be tested. The scientists are testing this meeting to make sure both things are clean, and by clean I mean not contaminated (meaning other other yeast strains). Yeast is a little bug (micro-flora) that is floating all around us and it can be a tricky little guy, sneaking around corners and finding it's way into things. And it is important to only put things into the beer that we mean to, if something does sneak its way in the flavor could change dramatically. And it is important to mention here that if we were to get some sort of contamination the only thing to be effected is flavor, because of the low ph values, and the alcohol content there really isn't anything that can grow in beer that could harm you. Also hops is a strong antimicrobial agent that further restricts the growth of pathogens. So it is the biologists job to go ahead and test everything, and through this barrage of testing we can ensure that our Fat Tire tastes just how Fat Tire (or whichever brand) should taste every time (you fine people have a fickle palette). So the testing is continuous and extremely thorough and we have fantastic scientists at the business end of those testing tools getting the job done.
Now let's double back and talk about fold number one. Yeast proagation. We have several in house yeast strains that make up our delicious portfolio of beers and each and everyone of them starts the same way, on a slide. The that slide is grown into what is called a slant. Here is Cody displaying a slant:
From that slant the biologist takes a small amount of the white foamy stuff on top and places it into 250ml of wort. Now this is normally how you make beer, you put some yeast into the sugary liquid known as wort and the yeasts eat the sugar and make alcohol and carbonation, but what is different here is that there is oxygen involved. The oxygen rich environment makes for breading yeast, not for brewing beer, brewing beer happens in an oxygen free environment (there is a lot more science involved in that (but I am not sure what it is (but I think it might be called anaerobic fermentation))), so over the course of some time it sits on a agitation table getting shaken around and the yeast starts growing faster. After the 250ml of wort has grown enough yeast they then add that to another 500ml of wort and the yeast growth continues with more agitation. Agitation pictured here:
And this cycle of adding more wort keeps repeating itself until the scientists have achieved about 50 liters of yeast. And at every stage there is a little nourishment that happens. The scientists add nutrients to help fortify the yeast and make it ready for "the cold, cruel world of anaerobic fermentation". Here is Kelly adding a delicious looking supply of vitamins:
It is then that they hand the hungry yeast over to the cellar and there the folks grow it to an even lager quantity (around 80 hecteliters) which is enough to throw (or pitch) into a full batch of wort to make beer (look out for Let's go to the Cellar).
That is the basic run down of the science involved. During Cody and I's talk we were joined by more biologists, Kelly, Gina, Ryan and Drew and the team of five explained it all in major depth but they lost me at "osmotic shock" and that is when I went glassy eyed. Who knows how many terms and phrases the group threw at me that I didn't understand, the count was very high, but here is a quick list of the few that I think I can spell (but probably not): "polymerase chain reaction", "super oxide radicals", "suspended animation", "speciate", you get the picture.
But the one thing that blew me away in the micro lab was the sheer volume of fire involved. I am just another dude that loves watching things get lit ablaze, but in the micro lab they use fire for everything, to sterilize, warm, cook, sing around, whatever. Here is an example:
Not sure what is happening there, probably some sort of sanitation, but in the end it's awesome because they are blasting the lip of that scientific container with a fire gun.
As the morning progressed we discovered the answer to question/answer combo two: would a lab coat make me look smarter? In this process they asked if I would like to become involved in the science at hand and they passed me that lab coat (for the more official look and smarter look detection) and also some sort of beaker (that sure is a funny name for a jar):
Bearing witness to my complete inability to perform science and noticing that the lab coat does not (in fact) make me look any smarter, the team of biologists shared in a good laugh at my expense. I was a little hurt by the hardiness of their hooting and a single tear fell from my eye. That was just enough for them to gather round and try to figure what might lift my sunken spirits. They hit the nail right on the head:
More fire.
It was then that all of us (me and the five nerdy scientists) came the realization that what they do should be left to trained professionals, they then took away my lab coat (it didn't make me look smarter anyway), stood between me and any source of open flame, and firmly asked me to leave the lab, but before I did I caught one last (and lasting) image of the whole team, deep in the middle of science:
Drew, Kelly, Cody, Gina, and Ryan.
So in the end we all learned a few things today, that micro-biology is absolutely important in the brewing world, but trying to explain it to a writer is a hopeless (and thankless) task, and also that a lab coat just makes me look like I stole some scientist's work clothes. I hope the tour through the micro lab was as awesome for you as it was for me, thanks for reading.

Northwest Wheat Harvest Could Be Down This Summer
By Chris Lehman
Northwest farmers are expected to harvest less wheat this summer. The projections indicate a down year in Oregon, Idaho and Washington.
The wheat harvest forecast has a lot to do with the weather forecast. Blake Rowe of the Oregon Wheat Growers League says it was a drier than usual spring, especially east of the Cascades where much of the Northwest wheat crop is grown.
Blake Rowe: "When you have these dry conditions the crops ripen a little bit earlier and then harvest will start a little sooner. That's not necessarily a good thing in this case because it's an indication that we haven't had the kind of moisture we need to have a really good crop."
Rowe says the lower harvest isn't just due to the weather. Every year farmers shift emphasis from crop to crop to take advantage of market conditions. This year, farmers planted less wheat in all three Northwest states. The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects this summer's harvest will be down 13 percent in Oregon, nine percent in Idaho and four percent in Washington.

Rachel Teagle has been selected by the University of California, Davis, to direct the new $30 million Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art.
The St. Louis native brings more than 15 years of experience as a curator and museum director. Most recently, she served as director of the New Children's Museum in San Diego.
The museum, scheduled for completion in 2016, will be funded by donations and bonds.
Why did you choose UC Davis?
I am very excited to work with students, which partly comes from my own experiences as an undergraduate. In my family, art museums weren't really important. My first exposure to art was in college, and it literally changed my life.
What are the challenges of building a museum from the ground up?
Fundraising comes to mind. Though most of the fundraising is done, we now have to focus on the endowment. Another challenge is trying to envision something for the future.
Why does UC Davis need a world-class museum?
Every great university needs a place where the community can access great works of art. I am a believer that you cannot be a truly well-educated person if art is not part of your life.
How did you get into museums?
I worked the whole time during graduate school and had a bit of a crisis. I love academics, but it doesn't feed my soul to spend all day in the library. I found that museum work was a great combination there's a scholarly purpose, but I also get to interact with people.
What do you like best about the arts and your profession?
I love working with artists. They see the world differently and challenge us not to accept things as they are.
What does a curator do?
A curator works with artists and objects to create exhibits. It's like a director shooting a movie.
How do you make art accessible, especially to children and college students?
I actually prefer the word approachable. There's quite a bit a curator can do to present art. Oftentimes, it's a very simple gesture of how you're greeted at the visitor's desk. My mission in life, quite frankly, is to help people understand the profound benefits of making art a part of their everyday life.
Should museums be funded by private donors or taxpayers?
The days of government- funded art projects are over. The reality is we need private individuals to make art accessible to all.

About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Monthly Bill Organizer:
I use this every year for at least the past three years ... great little convenience to organize bills, write due date and date paid, space on bottom page to write notes, etc. Also has a pocket to store paid bills, notes, etc. My only complaint is the last one I ordered came with the spiral binding not properly inserted all the way down (I should have taken it apart and reinserted it myself before using it). I wish it had a more stable/sturdy construction - but for the price - this book is a great value. It helps keep bills organized so you don't forget to pay something on time.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am hoping this product stays available for purchase. I depend on it in organizing my bill paying and other important financial information. I purchase one for every year, and have been doing so for the past 8-9 years, if not more. I prefer this monthly bill organizer as it is affordable, and practical for my daily bookkeeping. I will be purchasing this product once again in the future.
I love my Monthly Bill Organizer
By Greatgrams
from Lanagan Mo.
I have had other was of keeping track,such as filing cabinet but it is stationary and never where you need it. I have used a shoe box and that didn't work. I used a notebook and the papers tore out. I think I am going to use this Monthly Bill Organizer very efficiently and will be wanting another one for next year 2015 as i wont be starting this one till January 2014. I also bought one for my daughter when I bought mine.

By Mamaw5

I am retired finance director-looking for a compact, one year bill paying organizer. I had been able to get a very good one thru my credit union but they have been discontinued. I went online and did not find any suitable. Then I found your website and the one I purchased is close, it is just not enough room to list all items. If you should know of any better, please let me know.
too small

i have used these for several years and love them, but when i ordered this time they had shrunk dramatically....
Great organizer
By The Gram

I purchase this monthly bill organizer every year because it is so helpful for keeping records, especially for income tax time. The new spiral binder is smaller & easier to store, a plus over the older ones.

While completely unintentional, my main character seems to be a victim of the Sin of Lust. He's completely loyal to his mate, of course, but that doesn't stop his eye from wandering or keep him from flirting (often quite suggestively) with almost everything that moves. It's gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion, whether it was his lover objecting, or him just picking the wrong target. In fact, at one point it got him into something of a mini-feud with someone. o.o

A Look Inside Toronto's Newest Subway Tunnels
A guided tour through the still-unfinished tunnels of the Spadina Subway Extension.
Often ignored during the course of the ceaseless political arguments over where and how to build new subway stops in Toronto is the fact that it's already being done. Construction on the TTC's Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension is well underway. If all goes according to plan, we'll have six more stops on the north end of the Spadina subway line by late 2016, the northernmost of which will be all the way up in Vaughan.
It's a massive job, requiring four tunnel-boring machines and an estimated $2.6 billion in funding from three levels of government. Although there's still plenty of work to do, the dirty part is actually almost done: the TTC was saying, as of its last progress update in June, that tunelling was about 85 per cent complete. Earlier today, we, along with reporters from other media outlets, were given a guided tour of the interiors of some of those still-unfinished underground shafts. We visited two construction sites: the future Downsview Park Station and the future Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station.
Click through the image gallery above for a look at what we saw, and try to imagine the trains running through.
This post originally referred to Sheppard West Station. In fact, the construction site we visited will one day be known as Downsview Park Station. (The current Downsview Station will be renamed Sheppard West Station once construction is complete.)

Posted: March 19, 2013
Most experts acknowledge that bullying is a serious problem that has negative consequences for both perpetrators and victims. However, we know very little about how bullying early in life affects future behaviors.
Several years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began a partnership with researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign to better understand how bullying may lead to sexual violence. When we say "sexual violence," we are talking about one specific type, sexual harassment, which does not include forcible acts like rape. Continue ReadingPosted in Specific Groups

Mophie Juice Pack for HTC One provides protection and 2,500mAh: Gallery
Summary: Like the iPhone and many other modern smartphones, the HTC One has an integrated battery. Mophie was quick to launch its newest Juice Pack solution, and we have been taking it on the road.
8 of 13Image
(Image: Matthew Miller/ZDNet)
Opening for camera and flash
Walking around the case, you can find a black, glossy button for the power button that is designed to still allow full IR functionality. There is an opening for the headset jack in the top piece. The top has a cutout for the camera and flash, with a small opening for the upper microphone.
(Image: Matthew Miller/ZDNet)
Back of Mophie Juice Pack in hand
On the back is a button that shows you bright white LEDs for battery status. There are four lights when it is full. There is also a on/off switch that you slide to charge up your device or turn off the charging capability.
(Image: Matthew Miller/ZDNet)
HTC One with Juice Pack in hand
The Mophie Juice Pack is a nicely designed package that matches the high-quality design of the HTC One. An integrated battery and case is more convenient than an external battery and cable.

THE leaves are falling; so am I;
The few late flowers have moisture in the eye;
So have I too.
Scarcely on any bough is heard
Joyous, or even unjoyous, bird
The whole wood through.
Winter may come: he brings but nigher
His circle (yearly narrowing) to the fire
Where old friends meet.
Let him; now heaven is overcast,
And spring and summer both are past,
And all things sweet.

New Berlin - The New Berlin West girls basketball team lost some key players to graduation, but coach Corey Scheel still has plenty of talent returning from an 18-7 team, which finished second (15-3) in what was then the Woodland Conference - Blue Division.
The Vikings are now in the revamped Woodland-West Division.
"We bring back some very strong senior leadership," Scheel said. "These seniors will be counted on to help bring along the new, young talent."
Leading the senior returnees will be Beth Ver Haagh, the top scorer (10.4 points, 3.7 rebounds), Anne Kaczynski, their top three-point shooter, Lizzie Kuhl and Rachel Gasper. They will have to make up the loss of Shannon Burke and Becca Gasper.
Scheel said that seniors Ana Liska and Alison Kuhn and juniors Anne Radtke, Kia Richards and Cheyenne Pasdera, sophomore Nicole Holstein and Ali Boldt and freshman Claire Radtke and Sarah Meleski are others to watch.

someone please come remove it, I'll pay you in cuddles and pizza and movie watching.
The terrifying moment when you're trying to pee and a spider is crawling across the ceiling right over you and when you finish and run out you can't find him and freak out that he's on you.
I'm dead.
I'm blogging from my grave.
It got too hot and I'm gone. I spontaneously combusted.
Is Yahoo Mail being a dick for anyone else? It's not letting me see anything. Keeps giving me an error.
Casting appreciation gif.
This seriously pisses me off because TWO men of the "correct" ethnicity/race were asked to play the role of Khan. I don't remember their names because this back when Into Darkness was in casting yo but they BOTH DECLINED.
So there's a HUGE difference between "well, we asked the best in the business and they both said no, so we should go with another actor of the 'incorrect' race who is also very well suited for the role" and doing what the Hunger Games did which is literally only let white girls audition for Katniss.
When actors decline there is fuckall you can do. It's shitty, no doubt, that Khan ended up being white, but BC did a great job in the role, while knowing he was third choice. I won't begrudge him for taking it, and I won't begrudge the casting crew for going with him after their best actors declined.
^ Bless.
TWO WHOLE ACTORS OF COLOR in the whole of fine actors?
They tried so so hard.
Come on y'all there are only two actors of color who could have played Khan so they totally tried.
It's 2013.
Okay and now I feel like I need to tumblr savior Khan AND Star Trek because I am real done with all of it.
Thanks for ruining another thing I love internet.
Also FYI POC actors who are good and yanno Brown are really hard to find. They tend to turn into birds and fly away at the chance to play an Iconic role in any iconic movie. They get scared and leave it to the White folks because clearly when it's White people, it's always about the role and never about the color of their skin.
Ghost Hunters is back tonight.
But mom has to go pick up Matt soon and that might mean I can get BK or McDonalds if I go with her and miss Ghost Hunters.
On one hand I don't want to miss Ghost Hunters, on the other….
Coconut Oil and Me:
I've been using coconut oil on my face, nails, and as deodorant for like the past…2 weeks? And the following has happened:
Or maybe it is, idk. So I'm going to stop using it for a little while and see if everything clears up.

Inference for Means and Proportions Multiple Choice Practice Problems for AP Statistics
By Duane C. Hinders — McGraw-Hill Professional
Updated on Apr 25, 2014
Review the following concepts if necessary:
- Significance Testing for AP Statistics
- Inference for a Single Population Mean for AP Statistics
- Inference for the Difference Between Two Population Means for AP Statistics
- Inference for a Single Population Proportion for AP Statistics
- Inference for the Difference Between Two Population Proportions for AP Statistics
Assuming that the speeds are approximately normally distributed, how many degrees of freedom will there be in the appropriate t-test used to determine which type of tennis ball travels faster?
- A school district claims that the average teacher in the district earns $48,000 per year. The teachers' organization argues that the average salary is less. A random sample of 25 teachers yields a mean salary of $47,500 with a sample standard deviation of $2000. Assuming that the distribution of all teachers' salaries is approximately normally distributed, what is the value of the t-test statistic and the P-value for a test of the hypothesis H0: μ = 48,000 against HA: μ < 48,000?
- t = 1.25, 0.10 < P < 0.15
- t = –1.25, 0.20 < P < 0.30
- t = 1.25, 0.20 < P < 0.30
- t = –1.25, 0.10 < P < 0.15
- t = –1.25, P > 0.25
- Which of the following conditions is (are) necessary to justify the use of z-procedures in a significance test about a population proportion?
- The samples must be drawn from a normal population.
- The population must be much larger (10–20 times) than the sample.
- np0 ≥ 5 and n(1 – p0) ≥ 5.
- I only
- I and II only
- II and III only
- III only
- I, II, and III
- A minister claims that more than 70% of the adult population attends a religious service at least once a month. Let p = the proportion of adults who attend church. The null and alternative hypotheses you would use to test this claim would be:
- H0: p ≤ 0.7, HA: p > 0.7
- H0: μ ≤ 0.7, HA: μ > 0.7
- H0: p = 0.7, HA: p ≠ 0.7
- H0: p ≤ 0.7, HA: p < 0.7
- H0: p ≥ 0.7, HA: p < 0.7
- A t-test for the difference between two populations means is to be conducted. The samples, of sizes 12 and 15, are considered to be random samples from independent, approximately normally distributed, populations. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
- If we can assume the population variances are equal, the number of degrees of freedom is 25.
- An appropriate conservative estimate of the number of degrees of freedom is 11.
- The P-value for the test statistic in this situation will be larger for 11 degrees of freedom than for 25 degrees of freedom.
- I only
- II only
- III only
- I and II only
- I, II, and III
- When is it OK to use a confidence interval instead of computing a P-value in a hypothesis test?
- In any significance test
- In any hypothesis test with a two-sided alternative hypothesis
- Only when the hypothesized value of the parameter is not in the confidence interval
- Only when you are conducting a hypothesis test with a one-sided alternative
- Only when doing a test for a single population mean or a single population proportion
- Which of the following is not a required step for a significance test?
- State null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the problem.
- Identify the test to be used and justify the conditions for using it.
- State the significance level for which you will decide to reject the null hypothesis.
- Compute the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
- State a correct conclusion in the context of the problem.
- Which of the following best describes what we mean when say that t-procedures are robust?
- The t-procedures work well with almost any distribution.
- The numerical value of t is not affected by outliers.
- The t-procedures will still work reasonably well even if the assumption of normality is violated.
- t-procedures can be used as long as the sample size is at least 40.
- t-procedures are as accurate as z-procedures.
- For a hypothesis test of H0 : μ = μ0 against the alternative HA : μ < μ0, the z-test statistic is found to be 2.00. This finding is
- significant at the 0.05 level but not at the 0.0l level.
- significant at the 0.01 level but not at the 0.05 level.
- significant at both the 0.01 and the 0.05 levels.
- significant at neither the 0.01 nor the 0.05 levels.
- not large enough to be considered significant.
- Two types of tennis balls were tested to determine which one goes faster on a serve. Eight different players served one of each type of ball and the results were recorded:
- 6
- 7
- 16
- 15
- 14
- Two statistics teachers want to compare their teaching methods. They decide to give the same final exam and use the scores on the exam as a basis for comparison. They decide that the value of interest to them will be the proportion of students in each class who score above 80% on the final. One class has 32 students and one has 27 students. Which of the following would be the most appropriate test for this situation?
- Two proportion z-test
- Two-sample t-test
- Chi-square goodness-of-fit test
- One-sample z-test
- Chi-square test for independence
- 2

Lisbon. A train steward who looks like he's stuffed two key limes up his nostrils and inhaled is patiently trying to explain to a Frenched-up Sydney and Will that they can't have a first class compartment. Syd and Will are working the awesome French accents and saying things like "commonerz," and "ah wud lahk to go to zee hotel," and "duz yer dug baht," and Will's accent in particular seems to be channeling Inspector Clouseau. It's brill. The steward gets cheesed off and yells at them in Portuguese and Will is all, "He darez speaks Portageeeze to us?" And Syd is all, "It izzzz a dead languaaage, yes?" Hee. Finally, Will shoves a sheaf of Euros at the man and lo, they get their first class cabin.
Once inside, Syd chastises Will for going over the top with his disguise, but he just tells her to leave him alone because he was on a roll. I agree with Will; he's at his best when he's over the top. Will boots up a computer and starts plugging stuff into it. Dunno what he's doing there. He glances at Syd and then starts to say something about his girl being back home waiting for him and depending on how this all goes...Syd cuts him off and tells him he's going to make it through this. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you," she says. He looks at her blankly. "I know that." "Okay," she says. "Wait--what'd you think I was asking?" he says. She's flummoxed. "I...don't...I was just being supportive in case you thought you were going to--" "Die?" he says. "It's not important," says Syd, clearly chewing on that foot within her mouth. "What were you asking?" "I was asking you to be my best man," he says." "Really?" she says. "Yeah," he says. "Before I realized you had so little faith in me--you really thought I was gonna die?" Syd rips her bike into high gear and backpedals away from the damage she's created by getting all "gee whiz" on him and asking how it would work and if she would have to wear a tux. "You don't have to worry about it," says Will in mock seriousness, "'cuz you're not invited." Hee. Damn, his comic timing is impeccable.
Back to the task at hand, Will brings up the dining car on his monitor and they see Anna sitting at a table. Syd hits something on her watch and says that now she just has to keep Anna busy long enough to scan the detonation codes. "Incidentally," she says, smiling, "I'd be honored." Will shoots her a look. "Let's do this," he says, suddenly all business. Aw. After a CGI shot of the train going through a tunnel, Syd enters the dining car and plops herself at Anna's table. They engage in a little small talk about Will and he pipes up on Syd's comms to tell her that the scanner is working. Anna says they have to go somewhere private, so she and Syd leave the dining car. Will keeps Syd updated on the scanner's progress.

Hey Directioners and other people of the world! For starters, if you are reading this that probably means that you fanned me, so thank you!!! Let me tell you about my stories: Some of them were written longer ago. I think that my writing got better as I grew up, and still is getting better as I keep growing up. So if you decided to start with one of the books that I wrote a while ago like the original Kidnapped or I'll Take Care of You, don't assume that all of my stories are like that. Kidnapped is so much fun to write and when me and one of my best friends @MrsPayne124xx started to write it we didn't think we were actually gonna post it anywhere, it was just for fun. I think that in Kidnapped 2 our writing starts to get better, so give it a chance! I write mainly fan fictions with one direction in them. I try to make them vary. Like one will be a Zayn, one will be a Liam, ect. My favorite story that I have so far is He Saved Me. It's not done yet, still a work in progress, but I think that it's the best-written and has the best plot, so check that out! Some things about me: -I'm a competitive cheerleader -I love music (Mayday Parade, Parachute, SecondHand, bands like that) -Teen Wolf kicks ass to any other mythological show -Books are probably better than TV in my mind -I have no fucking idea what I want to do with my life, and im okay with it -Words are incredible -Logan Lerman and Riley Mcdonough are gods -Harry's my future husband -Everything else you don't needa know lady FOREVER & ALWAYS ~Kayla ░♥░░♥░░░▀█▀░▄██▄██▄░░▀█░░█▀▀▄░░░♥░░░ ♥░░░░░♥░░█░░▀█████▀░░░█░░█░░█░♥░░░♥░░ ░░♥░░♥░░▄█▄░░░▀█▀░░░░▄█▄░█▄▄▀░░♥░░░♥ ╔═══╦══╦═══╦═══╦═══╦════╦══╦═══╦═╗─╔╦═══╦═══╗ ╚╗╔╗╠╣╠╣╔═╗║╔══╣╔═╗║╔╗╔╗╠╣╠╣╔═╗║║╚╗║║╔══╣╔═╗║ ─║║║║║║║╚═╝║╚══╣║─╚╩╝║║╚╝║║║║─║║╔╗╚╝║╚══╣╚═╝║ ─║║║║║║║╔╗╔╣╔══╣║─╔╗─║║──║║║║─║║║╚╗║║╔══╣╔╗╔╝ ╔╝╚╝╠╣╠╣║║╚╣╚══╣╚═╝║─║║─╔╣╠╣╚═╝║║─║║║╚══╣║║╚╗ ╚══

Kim Kardashian's Pregnant Body Doubles in Size Overnight (PHOTO)
Whoa! Is Kim Kardashian pregnant, or is Kim Kardashian pregnant? As early as a few days ago, she stepped out in leather with a small baby bump and hadn't really popped yet. But now?
Get a load of Kim's growing body in this black and white dress. OMG. Where the heck did she come from? It's like she literally doubled in size overnight, to the point where there's no mistaking the fact that she has a bun in the oven.
Ok, let's just go ahead and talk about the elephant in the room -- her butt. If Kim wasn't already famous for her ample rear end, she's definitely going to be known for it now. (Mama mia!)
And I gotta tell ya -- I feel for her. I really do. Because the exact same thing happened to my body when I was pregnant with my son.
During my first trimester, I barely gained any weight. Maybe a pound or two at best. And like a dumb ass, I bragged about it to everyone who would listen, whether they were remotely interested or not.
And then the bitch that is karma kicked in around month five and I blew up like a balloon in what seemed like a matter of a few days. I was huge. Like H-U-G-E.
I really didn't even look like myself anymore, and it was kind of a bummer, even though the reward I got in the end was more than worth it. Even my face and neck were all puffed up, to the point that I barely recognized myself in the mirror.
It was tough enough for me and I was just your average pregnant gal, so I can only imagine how much of a buzz kill it is for Kim to have cameras following her everywhere to try and snap a photo of her growing figure.
The good news is, she has a great excuse for looking larger than life at the moment. She might as well just sit back, enjoy her pregnancy, and worry about taking the weight off after the baby arrives.
But it might not hurt to stick to basic black outfits from here on out instead of going for the black and white cookie look. (Just a suggestion.)
Was there a certain point in your pregnancy where you seemed to "blow up"?

text: Gulu is a city in Northern Uganda. It is the commercial and administrative centre of Gulu District.Gulu is located approximately 200 miles (320 km), by road, north of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The town is served by Gulu Airport. The first emergence of regional unity was in the late 19th Century when the region consolidated into nine different territorial sub regions, defined by ethnolinguistic patterns, trade and particularities of social networks. During British colonial rule in the 19th and 20th centuries regional divisions fell along resource distribution lines, with the north developing into a source for the security establishment.Pece Stadium is Gulu's public stadium, and the largest in Northern Uganda with a capacity of 30,000 people. The stadium has recently undergone refurbishment with support the USAID through its Northern Uganda reconstruction body, NUTI.

Cancer without Chemo is a subject many patients are asking about. Here's my perspective.
The first reaction of most people today, if they are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with cancer, is abject FEAR. The first thing this accomplishes is that it weakens their immune system.
Then they are usually told that they must start chemo and must do it immediately or they will die a painful death soon. I am here to reassure you that treating cancer without chemo is a viable option.
The threat that chemo has to start immediately only serves to make a patient's fear that much worse. The fear is actually used as a weapon, in some cases, to try to coerce them into doing the treatment. If they ask about any alternatives, they are told there are none that meet the standards of modern conventional medicine.
The truth of the matter is, these standards set the bar pretty low. In a study published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2004, "standard" chemotherapy for over 150,000 cancer patients, over a 14 year period, produced a 5 year survival rate of 2.1%. That means 98 out of 100 people were dead before 5 years after their date of diagnosis. I don't know about you but to me that seems like a pretty awful rate of success. In fact, a recent study showed that people who are diagnosed with cancer and choose to go home and do nothing, have a better quality of life, and live longer, than people who choose conventional chemotherapy.
Fortunately, there are alternatives but you have to search for them yourself and you usually can't rely on your doctor for help. They are not bad people, they are just brainwashed into thinking that there are no other valid treatment options than the ones they were taught in school and residency. Unfortunately, this "education" is all controlled by the pharmaceutical industry.
We here at Reno Integrative Medical Center, are all about giving people a choice. Cancer without chemo can be a reality. Our treatments are based on a total of over 50 years of clinical experience by our staff and ongoing research . We are continuing the proud tradition of Dr. Douglas Brodie in providing therapies that are effective but also non-toxic. They work to strengthen the immune system and to attack the cancer cells. The treatments are based on compounds that have been shown to take advantage of the uniquely different metabolism of the more primitive mechanisms found in these cells, while not harming normal cells. Read through our website and see all the options that are available to you right now.
USE 10% Chemo rather than full-dose
We use Chemotherapy at Reno Integrative intelligently. We have found that there are times that Chemo is effective in treating certain kinds of cancer.
The beauty of our treatment is we only use 10% or less chemo drugs and have better results. We do IPT therapy that is designed to target the cancer cells without damaging normal cells. What a breakthrough in cancer therapy. Conventional cancer treatment centers do not offer this option because insurance will not pay for it.
Integrative medical centers, such as ours, have been created so that we can offer our fellow humans a better way.

On August 21, 2009, four days after my 60th birthday, I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (throat cancer).
After two throat surgeries (2009 and 2011) and six weeks of radiation treatments (2009), my ENT (ear, nose, throat doctor & surgeon) informed me that there was nothing else she could do to help me. I refused traditional chemo therapy.
On November 18, 2011, I started my medical treatments at R.I.M.C. My first round of treatments was the three-week bootcamp. My experience was very good, with very few problems. If I did have a problem, the medical staff was always right there to see to my needs. A warm touch or a helping hand was always reassuring.
As of June 2013, all of my tests for cancer have come back clean. On October 17, 2013, I went to my ENT for a checkup. She was completely surprised to see me. She ran a scope (camera) up my nose and down my throat and didn't see any signs of cancer. Praise to our Lord God Almighty!
I would like to thank all of the staff at R.I.M.C. Everyone, from the front office personnel, the medical staff, and Dr. Bob, really cares about your health and well-being. They always treat you more like a family member than a patient/client.
I highly recommend R.I.M.C.

Okay this is a fan fiction by my good friend Rhoda. She's at FWAR and she's been trying to get on this site but they haven't accepted her for OVER three weeks to she's given up trying and asked me if I could post her story she has been writing called "Hearts Were Never Meant to Race..."
If you have any comments for her just comment bellow and she'll reply as (Rhoda): *blah blah blah* okay? And I comment it would be (Vannessa): *blah blah blah*
She really thinks this story can go far so were just hoping people will read. If any of you want to read her story is FWAR then there is a link below that you can click and follow.
To get in touch her just add her at FWAR at username Rhoda {The Lightning Queen}
This is an Edward -POV- fan fic.
The banner was made by the oh so talented Eva!
I waited for Bella on the balcony. The New York air was light and the streets gleamed bright in the dark sky. She smiled when she saw me and walked over. Bella was wearing an astonishing dress. So beautiful.
"Hey?" She smiles.
I force a smile to appear on my lips. "Hello."
But I know she senses that it's fake. I can't do this. Not her. I thought. I took a deep breath and shook my head. I have to do this.
"Bella, I can't do this anymore." I said.
She watched me carefully. "Do what?"
I sighed. "I can't date you."
I bit my lip. This was the question I most dreaded. The reason that put the seed of doubt in my mind. The funny thing is. I've always known this. I just ignored it because I wanted to see where this relationship would go. To see what I was in her eyes.
"Because…because you have all this, Bella." I mumble. "You have all this fame and fortune. Your dad is an amazing scientist and you go to press conferences such as this."
Bella took a step towards me her arms extended. "So?"
"So, I don't belong in your world." Her lips purse as I say this. "The rich don't associate with the poor. I've lived a hard life. So hard that I feel like I don't deserve anything so special anymore."
"You belong with someone in your class. I'm not it."
I turned to leave but she grabbed my arm forcing me to turn. "I know how you feel, Edward. I'm letting you go because I know you have to find yourself. But just know I was the one in the relationship who didn't deserve the other."
I scanned her face. Tears spilled over her eyes and I came over and caught one with my lips. "Goodbye, Bella."
Authors Note:
What do you think? Good? Bad? I got this Idea from the Chris Brown song Crawl. The girl in the video is really rich and I think they split up because Chris didn't think he deserved him but still he longed for them to be together. Also I think the girl was afraid of a relationship. Anyways, I will update more soon.

DENISON, TX -- The Eisenhower birthday celebration is coming up in October, and Denison Main Street is planning special recognition for local veterans.
Eisenhower's annual celebration is a time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This year Denison is doing a little extra to say thank you to the area veterans.
If pictures could talk...Oh the stories they would tell.
These pictures in particular, photographs of veterans that have served our country.
"We want to pay tribute to our veterans, and that's what we're doing," said Donna Dow, director of Denison Main Street. "It's no benefit that we gain from it other than just honoring them and what they've done to serve our country."
For this year's Eisenhower birthday celebration, Denison Main Street is displaying photos and stories of area veterans.
The two veteran faces of Jim Farris and Dave Williams have both seen service...twice.
Farris and Williams flew in the Army Air Corp in World War II. And later with the Air Force in Korea.
And they still continue to serve, regaling visitors of their service as volunteers at Perrin Air Force Base Museum.
"I think it is very important," said Williams. "I don't think the people around the area really understand it until it is brought out to them and explained to 'em."
"I think its just an inherent part in this whole area of history" said Farris. "I think it's a very important part of the public knowledge about veterans in this community because we've been here so long."
But, like everything else, they won't stay forever.
But there is a way they can. Through the faces in these pictures, and the stories they can tell.
In addition to the photographs and stories, which Main Street plans to display in the Katy Depot next to the Red River Railroad Museum, they also plan to dedicate bricks at the Eisenhower monument.
They will also dedicate a bench commemorating Purple Heart veterans.
If you're a veteran and want to send a picture of yourself for commemoration in the celebration or would like more information, you can call Donna Dow at (903) 464-4452. Or send in your info via email by sending it to email@example.com
Denison Main Street asks to send in 8x10 photographs in your service uniform. They would also like you to include your name, contact information, your branch of service, when and where you served.
