text: Super-chilling is a method of ensuring the optimum temperature in the fish. Super-chilling means that the fish is chilled to about minus 1 to minus 2 degrees celsius, depending on fat and salt content, and the idea is to get as close to the fish's "freezing point" as possible without ice actually forming. In this way a chill capacity is stored in the product that is important in the transportation chain. In combination with MAP, fresh salmon can achieve a shelf life of up to 3 weeks with good microbial safety and a synergy effect has also been absorbed between super-chilling and modified atmosphere packaging.

International Decision Making in the Age of Genocide: Rwanda 1990–94
On June 1–3, 2014, leading decision makers from the United Nations, Africa, the United States, and Europe gathered in The Hague to consider the failure of the international community to prevent or effectively respond to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and to explore whether and how the tragedy might have been averted.
Our Walls Bear Witness: The Plight of Burma's Rohingya
In a special nighttime display during FotoWeek DC 2013, the Museum projected building-size images of the Rohingya displaced in Burma and in exile on its exterior walls.
The United States and R2P: From Words to Action
On Tuesday July 23, 2013, a symposium presented by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Brookings Institution, and the United States Institute of Peace brought together leaders from inside and outside government to examine the utility of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) as a tool for preventing the world's worst crimes.
Imagine the Unimaginable: Ending Genocide in the 21st Century
More than 60 years after the Holocaust, genocide and crimes against humanity continue as repressive regimes and cruel perpetrators target and kill innocent people around the world. In this July 2012 symposium featuring Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, established and emerging leaders explored what can be done to prevent these atrocities in the future.
In Search of Accountability: Justice after Nuremberg
Since the Nuremberg trials of 1945–46, the world's democracies have struggled to establish a legal infrastructure to hold accountable those responsible for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Are the mechanisms they created up to the task today? Is justice finally being delivered to the perpetrators of wartime atrocities? What strategies will nations require to deal with a new generation of non-state violent extremists?
Forecasting Mass Violence: Developing a Public Early Warning System
Is a public early warning system necessary? What should it look like? What would be the benefits? Who would use it? In October 2011 the Museum hosted a seminar, led by Committee on Conscience Ganek Fellow Dr. Benjamin Valentino, that convened a group of experts from a variety of relevant fields to explore the key aspects of designing and operating such a system.
Voices from Congo: The Road Ahead
On July 26, 2011, the Museum hosted Voices from Congo: The Road Ahead, a unique conference that brought to Washington a Congolese perspective on the current political and human rights situation, and was designed to help inform US policy on Congo with constructive ideas and recommendations.
Libya and the Responsibility to Protect
On June 16, 2011 the Brookings Institution, in cooperation with the United States Institute of Peace, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Humanity United, hosted a discussion exploring the responsibility to protect (R2P) as well as the ongoing crisis in Libya and NATO intervention there.
The Legacy of Nuremberg
On May 16, 2011, the Museum held a special event to discuss the legacy of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, how the trials helped shape international law, and their impact on current-day issues of international justice and accountability.
International Symposium on Preventing Genocide and Mass Atrocities
On November 15, 2010, leading genocide prevention and human rights officials and experts from around the world gathered together in Paris for an international symposium to assess the current capacities of governments to effectively respond to genocide and mass atrocities and to recommend strategies to enhance international cooperation.

text: Allison voted to top FOTA technical post 19 July, 2011 James Allison Jul.19 (Renault) Renault technical director James Allison has been voted in as Chairman of the FOTA Technical Regulations Working Group. Below is a Q&A with him in the wake of the appointment: How does it feel to be unanimously voted in as Chairman of the FOTA Technical Regulations Working Group? James Allison: It feels rather daunting. The previous occupants of the Chair have set a high standard and it is important to do the job properly. What will your role entail? Allison: The TRWG applies the technical expertise of the Teams to contribute to the successful future of F1 over the medium and longer term. As Chairman it is my job to conduct the meetings of the TRWG in a well organised manner. I will also hope to continue the work of my predecessors in promoting a constructive relationship with the body that forms the Technical Regulations of F1, the FIA Technical Working Group. How will you balance this alongside your main position of LRGP Technical Director? Allison: FOTA is a body that always tries to act constructively in the best interest of the sport. Contributing to its operation does take some time and effort, but most would agree that it has been a very worthwhile investment. Also, taking on the Chair does not really change the level of required commitment greatly. All of the Technical Directors are representatives within the TRWG. We all have to find the time to prepare for and to attend the TRWG meetings. In the meetings themselves, it is routine for individual Technical Directors to volunteer either their own time or the resources of their Team to allow technical studies to be performed. This work is fairly well shared out, but I have the advantage as Chairman of having the help of the very efficient FOTA Secretary – Simone Perillo – when preparing for the meetings.

Post-Inauguration... political media full of stories about Joe Biden's 2016 ambitions
Many of us here in Delaware are probably tired of the talk about Joe Biden's future political plans.
That Joe Biden may very well seek the Presidency in 2016 has a "Groundhog Day"-type resonance.
Still, this Presidential Inaugural week has seen plenty of stories weighing the odds of a Biden Presidential bid... and the chances of success.
Surely the Vice President has played a big role in all the great political intrigue of late: Fiscal cliff negotiations; gun constraints; etc. But that may very well be his Achilles Heel. The consummate insider who can get stuff done can't very well run against Washington an outsider.
But as the Inaugural festivities vividly displayed, Delaware's former senior Senator still absolutely enjoys schmoozing with people; he has that Clintonian quality minus the Clinton baggage.
Perhaps some of us here in Delaware have an inclination to underestimate the Vice President's political gifts. (Even gaffes don't seem to hurt the Veep that much; they almost make him more endearing!)
Of course, at this point, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the presumptive favorite for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2016 -- assuming she runs. Yet it was the outgoing Secretary of State, not the older Veep, who suffered a health scare of late.
This article from USA TODAY reflects the Biden buzz...
But, the "Dean" of White House correspondents - Kenneth T. Walsh at U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT - reflects on the Vice President's contradictory position as the seasoned political pro...

Seriously Allan, how much of that is copy writers just trying to find the topic that rises to the top of the 'hit' list?
Both Biden and Clinton will have passed the age where their effectiveness has peaked. The rigors of the presidency are far more physically demanding than they were 30 years ago.
Tue, Jan 22, 2013 9:48am
No doubt about it: Joe and Hillary will wage a fierce primary in 2016, but Hillary will prevail because of vast support by female Democrats. While neither is a 'spring chicken', Biden's age is getting up there and even his son is too old to campaign for the young Democratic vote.
So watch for a Hillary--Jeb Bush showdown in 2016.
Tue, Jan 22, 2013 3:50pm
No one thought Obama would be president just after the 2005 swearing-in.
No one thought John Kerry would be the 2004 nominee just after the 2001 swearing-in.
No one thought George W. Bush would be the next sitting president just after Clinton was sworn-in January 1997.
No one thought Bob Dole would wind up winning the Republican nomination just after Clinton was sworn-in in 2003...
No one dreamed Bill Clinton would be the following president back when George H.W. Bush was swearing-in for his first term.
No one thought a diminutive governor from Massachusetts would grab the nomination for the Democrats, back when Reagan was swearing in his second term....
Prior to that, we did have anointed ones... as Ted Kennedy found out when the tried to take the microphone from Carter, and George H.W. Bush, found out when he was informed it was Ronald Reagan who "paid" for that microphone... lol.
Mondale was anointed when Carter lost. Reagan was anointed when Ford lost. But Carter was a surprise, the first they said, and that was blamed on Watergate, after which voters said "anyone but a previous beltway politician"....
Point it, if you are talking about Biden and Clinton now, that guarantees neither will be in the running after the first couple of primaries.

Kavips: I totally agree. Biden and Hillary are old news and in 2016 they will be OLD.
Their time in the sun will have past. There are new upcoming stars in both DEM and GOP parties. Someone in that lesser-known group will become the nominee in the DEM and GOP respectively. Time marches on. Gingrich and Buchanan - the wise, respected thinkers of the GOP - just as Clinton, both Bill and Hillary, etc., are the DEM equivalent.
Folks like Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, etc., in the GOP and Andrew Cuomo, etc., of the DEMS and folks like these are the ones to keep your eye on for 2016.
Tue, Jan 22, 2013 11:38pm
The two eventual winners will probably be someone not even on the list yet....
Just a couple of things I wanted to add about the Presidential Inauguration that haven't made it to print anywhere. James Taylor's guitar was so out of tune, I think for security reasons it was checked and left on the veranda and the cold distorted all the strings. Poor James made a go of it anyway. I heard people say they liked it so I guess a lot of people are tone-deaf, but it was grating on one's nerves throughout the whole song, and I felt so bad for him....
The camera really picked up some horrible grimaces on our own Attorney-General while Beyonce was singing. Judging from her awesome popularity, any future opponent of Beau is going to be seriously tempted to use that footage to drive a wedge between Beau and his base. If you get a chance, it is funny to watch. One has to wonder what Beau is thinking.
I didn't know until I read Joe Biden's autobiography, and it came out in 2008 as well, but Biden as a boy was a stutterer. Still, every time he takes an oath, if you watch his eyes, you can see how much work it is for him to repeat something verbatim, and there was a catch this time and a microsecond of panic was visible across his face. However, when Biden is engaged with people, the hype of the moment keeps that nervous tic totally at bay. It could very well be that the handicap is what forms his personality and makes Biden, Biden,.... that avuncular jolly old soul that he is, who if you meet him in person, wraps you up with two big arms in the goodwill of the moment...
Likewise Obama also tripped up in his speech for a millisecond, and I bet it was because he was worried about getting past the mix-up he made four years ago. Chief Justice Roberts, who was also part of the mix-up last time, was worried as well. With both worried, both tried really hard to get it right, and Obama was the one who jumped, caught himself, but muddled on through. One could see it was an inside joke with the girls, particularly Sasha, because she let out a big smile after it was done as if to say: "you did it Dad!"....
And the committee that chose the luncheon menu was made up of spouses of the Congressional Inaugural Committee, and ironically unlike their elected spouses, Boehner, Cantor, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and Alexander, the spouses were able to compromise and come to an agreement over the menu fairly simply...
And too much is made of Michelle's head roll. I saw the clip several times without even noticing it. It has to be isolated and completely blown-up to 5x its original size to be seen. You can tell that Boehner makes a bad joke, she has her mouth full so she shakes her head to acknowledge the punch line as if to say, "oh,my," and you see Obama crack up right beside her. It apparently was no big deal to anyone actually there, which brings up an interesting point. Do public figures have to confine themselves to being stiff like Queen Elizabeth used to be for example, just so a random moment won't be captured and used by someone like Rush Limbaugh in a context unrelated to its original intent?
I think Americans are smart enough to laugh at it, and as long as they don't live within the Beltway, they certainly don't hold such human expressions against anyone.
But..... People are really crazy within the Beltway.
Wed, Jan 23, 2013 12:01am
Well, at least they don't hold such human expressions against Democrats.

Last week we learned that former Playboy bunny and Girls Next Door star Holly Madison is pregnant. That was a pretty big shock considering she's only been dating her baby daddy, Pasquale Rotella, for nine months, but we're generally happy for her. What no one should be happy about, however, is how this pregnancy is transforming her wardrobe.
She was recently spotted out and about in the getup you see here. There are so many things wrong with this picture, it's hard to know where to start, but let's go with those PAJAMA PANTS she's sporting. Right there in public, in broad daylight.
She's clearly jumped aboard the frump train early, and someone needs to get her off it now. It's all too easy to ride that thing far too long and find yourself a permanent member of the not-so-exclusive pajama mama club that already has far too many disheveled members.
Look, I'm all for pregnant women being comfortable. Those who strut around in sky-high heels (yes, Snooki I'm looking at you) are just gluttons for pain, but there is no excuse for pajama pants to be worn in public. Ever. Okay unless you're 2, and your mom doesn't have time to get you dressed before she has to get to your big brother's school, but for grown women -- pregnant or not -- it's just a big fat no.
I get that you may not feel well and are tired, but pregnancy isn't the time to stop caring about what you look like. While your partner hopefully loves you no matter what, all of the changes at hand can be overwhelming for him. If he starts thinking this is the end of you ever caring about how you look again, he may be a little concerned. And this is a HUGE change for the former glamour puss.
More importantly, it's just good for your own self esteem to keep up your appearance while you're pregnant -- and trust me, NO pair of pajama pants is ever going to enhance your appearance. Your body goes through so many uncontrollable changes that whatever you can control -- like the clothes you put on your body -- should be made with care. I think I put more effort into what I looked like while I was pregnant than ever before in my life because I was so scared of becoming that frumpy, disheveled mom. And if you start that look during pregnancy with the ultimate I've-given-up look that are pajama pants, the road ahead looks bleak my friend.
Hopefully this was just a one-time offense for Holly. While we don't need to see her strutting around in cocktail dresses, there are plenty of cute, comfy maternity looks out there. Hopefully she can at least step things up and get a nice pair of maternity yoga pants or, if all else fails, some pajama jeans.
Did you become more or less frumpy when you became pregnant?

Since when does wearing a pair of plaid cotton pants in public mean you've fallen into the abyss of not caring at all any more or ever again about how you look? And, keeping up self-esteem? I don't know I suppose, but from the picture you provided, girlfriend looks like her self-esteem is fully intact. Why people put so much time and effort into criticizing what others wear is beyond me. YES IT IS OK TO WEAR PAJAMAS IN PUBLIC. It's her choice, not yours. Just because you wouldn't do it doesn't make it some kind of taboo. What is this, high school?
Eh....I always dressed when I went out. I would never wear this outfit out. Not because I'm a snob, but because you feel better when your dressed up. If I didn't fel good, there was always yoga pants and a tank top. Whatever floats her boat though.
Well, she certainly looks comfortable anyway!
I think she looks cute and comfy. She obviously feels good enough about herself not to give a rats behind what other people think. I find that refreshing in today's judgmental times where people say mean things about people for no reason.
Who cares what she wears? What's the big deal anyway? Why do we always have to conform to what hollywood thinks is hot? I do what I want!

Plan ahead if you or your child has allergies or asthma.
The following can help you and your family avoid problems when traveling:
Talk with your health care provider before you go. Make sure you have medications and know what to do if allergy or asthma symptoms worsen.
If you are traveling by plane, keep all medicines with you -- in your purse or carry-on luggage. Check with the airline ahead of time if you have liquid medications or use a nebulizer.
If you are traveling by car, keep the windows closed and set the ventilation system so that the air recirculates in the car.
Check pollen forecasts for your destination. The beach or mountains usually have few allergens. You can find current pollen and mold spore levels for U.S. cities on the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology website.
Take extra care if you travel overseas. Carry your medicines in their original containers to ease your way through customs. If you use a portable nebulizer, find out if you will need to bring an electrical adapter.
If you are staying in a hotel, ask if an allergy-proof room is available. Make sure the room is for nonsmokers. If you're sensitive to molds, ask for a room away from an indoor pool or hot tub.
If you are staying at the home of family or friends, ask to stay in a rooms where pets aren't allowed.
Be especially alert if you have food allergies. Tiny amounts of allergens may be present in some foods.
If you have a dangerous food allergy, your provider may tell you to have an epinephrine shot with you at all times.
If you're traveling by air, an epinephrine shot is allowed. It must have a printed label from the pharmacy or manufacturer.

This article tells us some things to expect this year from CN, and HOLY HELL there's some good stuff that just got announced! :D
Some highlights:
Steven Universe: Slated to debut in 2013, Steven Universe is a coming-of-age story told from the perspective of Steven, the youngest member of a team of magical Guardians of the Universe. […] created by Emmy® and Annie Award-nominated writer and storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar (Adventure Time). Sugar is Cartoon Network's first solo female show creator.
Uncle Grandpa: Also slated for 2013, Uncle Grandpa is based upon the Emmy®-nominated short of the same name and follows the exploits of Uncle Grandpa—everyone in the world's "magical" uncle and grandpa. Created and executive produced by Pete Browngardt (creator of […] Secret Mountain Fort Awesome)
Clarence: From creator Skyler Page, Clarence is a new original animated series about an optimistic boy who wants to do everything. Because everything is amazing! (Note: Skyler Page is the mastermind behind the short film Crater Face)
Teen Titans Go!: Featuring the return of Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg in all-new, comedic adventures, Teen Titans Go! will premiere in April 2013. Character-driven comedy is the order of the day […] The series stars the principal voice cast from the original Teen Titans.
Beware the Batman: A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman's core characters with a rogue gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form. Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City's criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie. [Personally, from what I've heard about it, I'm not sure what to think about this one]
Grojband: 12-year-old Corey is the front man for a rockin' garage band. There's just one problem: Corey's lyrics stink. He just can't think of anything cool to write about, until…he finds his sister's diary that's full of "teen angst and junk" and decides to use each diary entry as inspiration for crowd pleasing, heart stopping, foot stomping hit songs.
Regular Show Special: Regular Show is slated for a 30-minute Thanksgiving special. Mordecai and Rigby accidentally ruin Thanksgiving and must find a way to save it before their families arrive for dinner.
The Powerpuff Girls Special: [the Powerpuff Girls] will soar again as a brand-new, redesigned and re-imagined CG special coming in 2013 where the trio of pint-sized super heroines will be called upon to rescue not just the city of Townsville, but the USA and the world! Featuring an original song "I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl" performed by Beatles legend Ringo Starr, who also portrays Townsville's most famous flamboyant mathematician, "Fibonacci Sequins," this all-new original special comes from a powerhouse creative team featuring animation talent from around the globe including acclaimed director Dave Smith and award-winning art director Kevin Dart.
Unfortunately, there will also be new seasons of fucking Johnny Test, Total Drama Island, Annoying Orange, several more of those "Lego" cartoon series no one seems to ever talk about, and a NEW Tom & Jerry show (probably following in the footsteps of CN's recent - surprisingly actually good - other classic cartoon reboots, "The Looney Tunes Show" and "Scooby Doo Mystery Inc")
That said, 2013 looks like a good year to be watching CN. :D

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - The saga of the Wooden Shoe Motel continues in Holland City Hall this evening.
A special business meeting for City Council members is slated for 5:30 in the second floor training center, prior to the regularly-schedule work-study session, and the only topic on the agenda is a motion to remove from tabling a measure that would give the facility off of 16th Street and US-31 a one-year probationary lodging license. That measure was shelved a week ago when First Ward Councilman Mike Trethewey, joined by City Manager Ryan Cotton, had noticed repairs at the motel not done to satisfactorily meet code requirements. Cotton had initially recommended rescinding the Wooden Shoe's license due to numerous code violations and law enforcement issues, but changed when co-owner CJ Patel showed efforts in repairing the building and improving security. Council is expected to make a final decision on the matter in two weeks.
During the work-study session, council revisits the residential beekeeping issue that didn't get resolved by the planning commission last month, along with dealing with buying tax-foreclosed properties for non-municipal use, and improving the Smallenburg Skate Park that was built when the city sold the former Lincoln Park site to Hope College.

PepsiCo's Global Approach to Selling Beverages in Schools
I am pleased to highlight our new global policy to stop the sale of full-sugar soft drinks to primary and secondary schools by 2012. This voluntary commitment makes PepsiCo the first major beverage company to implement such a consistent global approach. The policy details were drawn up based on discussions with the World Heart Federation which exemplifies our belief that working in collaboration with a variety of partners is the best way to make a difference in the health of people around the world. We are working with our bottlers, vending companies and distributors – along with parents, community leaders, and school officials around the world – to help make school settings conducive to the health of students. This global school beverage policy advances our existing commitments to reducing calories in schools by offering students a wider range of low-calorie and nutritious beverages in appropriate portions.

DIY Wreath of Khan by Annie Shapiro. I am not a huge fan of cute wreaths unless they are like this one, or this ultimate fandom one, or this very creepy skull and real bones one for Halloween, or just plain pine cones. First seen on nerd approved here and it was suggested that someone make one with Benedict Cumberbatch.
DIY Best Fandom Wreath Ever Tutorial from Our Nerd Home here. Actually one of the best wreaths ever. You can create this wreath with a little imagination and craft foam, cardboard, paint and sharpies. What fandom would you add?
DIY Haloween Bone and Skull Wreath from The Art of Doing Stuff here. Tired of adorable Halloween decor and ready for something truly creepy? Then this wreath made out of Dollar Store materials and bones is for you. For everything Halloween go here.
DIY Sweater and Zipper Wreath from Crafts 'n Coffee here. I usually never post wreaths - not because I don't like them but because I'm not interested in making them. But this wreath is different because there are instructions on how to make two types of zipper flowers. *For jewelry, fashion and accessories using zippers go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/zippers

PLAYERS: Kevin Frandsen
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies
Kevin Frandsen did not get rich a few days ago when the Phillies signed him for $850,000 plus incentives. That is certainly not big money when it comes to baseball contracts. But when you think that it took eight years of minor league ball and several cups of coffee for him to stick at the major league level, that is a pretty big deal. But his signing doesn't mean that the Phillies will actually hand him the third base job. The team is rumored in on the Kevin Youkilis sweepstakes. Such is the life for Frandsen, a guy who has never had it easy. To get some sort of picture of what it took Frandsen to reach this point, here is a sequence of events leading up to his 201 plate appearances for the Phillies in 2012: Played at a small San Jose college and set the record there for hits. Not drafted until the 370th pick (12th round) by the Giants in 2004. Hit well in his first two minor league seasons and appeared in 41 games for the Giants in 2006. He finished with a .607 OPS. Ap...

1 lb 8.5 oz per boot. Hope it helps.
I will look a little big. But it really depends on what you need the bag for. Do you need the space, then why be bothered if it looks a little too large on you? So if you haven't already thought of it, contemplate what you will be transporting and how often you will make use of all 1650cu. Hope it helps.
Yep, plenty of extra space after that too.
Yes, you can fit 11L in there if you want.
It probably wouldn't be very comfortable if you are planning to wear it under a tighter glove. But as a remedy it would be quite easy to simply scissor the tag off.
That is per boot. Heavy duty for sure!

No. Go for a complete transparent/clear lens instead, preferably with an AR coating. There are many and thankfully, debunked myths of orange increasing night vision.
Any color will detract from the total amount/intensity of the light your eyes receive, which will make you see less. Which of course will reduce the amount of detail you see especially in the darker areas of your field of vision.
Good luck man ;)
It's water resistant.
I would recommend Arc'teryx Phase SV Zip Neck on top of a good moisture wicking base layer.
If that is not enough to keep you warm, you could add the Arc'teryx Rho LTW on top. That is an incredibly warm layer combination, one that I use myself.
While merino wool is always very good for warmth, these socks have thinner fabric on top for better breathing. Still they are fairly warm socks, but it really depends on what kind of usage you will make of these.
If you are planning to use them in cold weather you could use a thin sock underneath. If you are looking for something super warm, I'd recommend a heavy sock instead.
I would say yes with a shirt underneath in 35-60 degree weather. But it is really a matter of what you like and what kind of climate you live in.

Tobacco Humidification & Tobacco Humidifiers
JS Humidifiers has over 20 years experience in humidifying the tobacco industry Worldwide with a client list that includes many of the world's leading cigarette and cigar manufacturers.
Tobacco leaves, cut tobacco and paper are all extremely hygroscopic which means that they give up their moisture to the surrounding environment if the air is too dry. Dry air causes tobacco's properties to degrade resulting in shrinkage, weight loss, brittleness, flaking, splitting and tearing.
This causes tobacco to literally fall out of cigarettes, cigarette papers to misfeed on machines and cigar leaves to crack.
Maintaining the right level of ambient relative humidity prevents all these problems by ensuring that tobacco, paper and leaves retain moisture at the correct levels, so maintaining their quality and ensuring that production can proceed at full efficiency.
Download our Tobacco Humidification brochure here
Tobacco humidity issues
Tobacco leaves most primary production areas with a moisture content of 13-16% by weight. An ambient relative humidity of 60-68%rH is needed to maintain equilibrium between the air and the moisture in the tobacco.
After the initial production processes, moistened tobacco is normally taken to large bins or silos. Smaller tobacco plants will rely on box or cut tobacco stores. These areas must be maintained at 60-70%rH and 21-24ºC as they have large amounts of tobacco exposed to ambient air.
If humidity falls below 50%rH then electrostatic charges can occur in most production areas even in filter rod areas where extra humidity is not normally called for. If conditions are maintained above 50%rH, then this will totally eliminate electrostatic charges.
Cigarette paper must also be kept in equilibrium with the environment. If its moisture changes so will the dimension of the reel of paper along the exposed edges. These are then in tension as the paper runs, which can lead to tears, machine misfeeds and expensive downtime re-feeding the roll.
The maintenance of around 60-70%rH is critical in and around temporary storage systems. Cigarettes stored in a buffer for several hours or over a weekend will lose moisture if the relative humidity is not maintained, and are often scrapped due to drying out. Humidification means stored cigarettes can continue to be processed and wastage eliminated.
Any loss in moisture will lead to poor recovery of tobacco in ripping rooms where production waste is broken up and re-used. These areas need to be maintained at 65%rH at 21ºC.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — A Tampa Bay area man has been sentenced to life in prison for his part in the death a convenience store clerk.
A Pasco County judge sentenced 20-year-old Adam Moyer on Friday. A jury previously convicted him of first-degree murder. Because he was a minor at the time of the murder, he will eligible for parole in 25 years.
Authorities say Moyer and 32-year-old Russell David Lane robbed a New Port Richey 7-Eleven in January 2012. The Tampa Bay Times (http://goo.gl/x944pY ) reports that surveillance video shows Lane tussle with 61-year-old Danny Foster. Lane pushed Foster, who hit his head on the floor. Foster later died from his injuries.
Pasco County deputies later found Lane and Moyer with the stolen money, cigarettes and beer.
Lane was sentenced to life in prison in February after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.

Cars have long been an antiquated mode of transportation thanks to their fossil fuel burning engines. Now are streets our clogged with them and our skies are saturated with pollutants.
Enter the Kolelinio fly by wire system. It calls for a rather unsightly set of wires to be strewn about the city. Users wear a battery operated backpack that contains a light weight engine. Much like a zip line, city dwellers would hardness into the system and be carried to their next destination, changing direction at intersections, where they would unhook and rehook. So, instead of a car, insurance costs, pollutants, fuel costs and parking tickets, and not to mention traffic jams, people could travel fast, light and effeciently. Too bad it's just a concept.

whole wheat pastry flour - offensively grainy or just pleasantly toothsome?
- a
- aforkcalledspoon Jun 22, 2009 07:06 PM
I accidentally bought a bag of whole wheat pastry flour to make a cake. Will my whole grain hating husband instantly feel the telltale "grit" or will it be ok? What do most people use it for? Is it perfectly interchangeable with the regular stuff? Does it alter flavor, or do people choose it for the health benefits?
It's heavy and lifeless, compared to white flour. I was horribly disappointed in it. My peach pie was awful made with it. Other things, too. A cake will suffer greatly. I ended up dumping mine because I couldn't even use it for bread (not enough protein). When you make a cake or pastry, you want white flour.
If you do not enjoy the flavor of whole grains, and are making something you want to have a light and fine crumb, you should not use it.
I like it a great deal, and use it in cookies, muffins, and quick breads. It is finer and lighter than traditional whole wheat flour, but it is 100% whole wheat and has no magic white flour-like properties. It's not the thing for a traditional cake, and yes, if your husband hates whole grains, he will not like it one bit. If you would like to try it out for something, sub it for half the AP flour in a quick bread and see how you feel.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I think muffins might be an excellent use of it. I just didn't think of that at the time. A muffin can handle the "heartiness" and weight of the flour.
I find substituting half the amount of flour with whole wheat pastry flour in a cream biscuit recipe made it taste much lighter and flavorful than just all purpose white flour.
I've not used it for cake, so can't comment on that. If you're worried about the grit you can always use a fine strainer to separate out the rougher bits.
In general, Arrow Mill's WW pastry flour has a nice taste. Maybe it's usually fresher.
oh dear. Thank you both for confirming my worst fears. I can't even return it because I dove into it to make waffles with the kids. They didn't like the waffles, but I figured it was because they were made with rice milk (for the allergy-addled son). sigh. So muffins are ok? How about dredging with it?
re: aforkcalledspoon
Did you make waffles with 100% whole wheat or did you use 50/50 white-whole wheat blend? You could certainly use it for dredging, and might try to use blended in quick breads.
re: Kelli2006
I used 100%. I didn't realise until afterwards that the bag said whole grain. The disconcerted looks on the kids' faces tipped me off. Yes, I think that blending is key.
I use a local (northern California) brand, Giusto's, all the time, for our weekly pancakes, muffins and quick breads, pie crusts (half-and-half with white). It's a very fine grind, very sweet and flavorful, and it gives a terrific rise. But once when my store was out, I picked up a bag of King Arthur, and it was awful, heavy, bitter-tasting. My kids didn't like those pancakes.
re: heidipie
KAF whole wheat/white whole wheat, or actual WW pastry flour? I didn't know KAF WW pastry flour is even available retail in NorCal, if that was what you bought.
I use WWPF from Rainbow grocery's bulk bin and it's awesome stuff. I've used it half-half with cake flour in genoise and it was light and not at all gritty or tannic.
re: stilton
I really don't remember which KAF it was, sorry. I think the bulk WWPF at Rainbow is Giusto's.
Whole wheat pastry flours vary a great deal in how much bran is included as well as how fine they're ground. If yours has bits of bran in it, you can sift them out for a less gritty texture. I've made cakes with it, subbing 100% for white flour, but the results are markedly different from white flour cakes. If you and your family are not used to whole wheat, I'd recommend subbing only up to half the white flour in a recipe, and being choosy about where you use it. I find the flavor and texture works best in muffins, cookies, quick breads, and pancakes. I'd not recommend using it in cakes or any yeast doughs, where it would affect the texture and rise a lot.
One thing to know about whole grain flour batters and doughs--the longer the mixture sits, the flour will absorb more of the liquid. So, you may find that a batter or cookie dough will seem loose upon first mixing, but after a ten or fifteen minute rest, it will be the right consistency. So don't add more flour, thinking something's wrong. It just takes more time to absorb liquid and come together. Check your library for a copy of King Arthur Flour Company's Whole Grain Baking cookbook, where you'll find lots of recipes to use up that bag of whole wheat pastry flour with good results.
re: amyzan
wow, great tips. I will definitely sift today, and thank you for letting me know about resting time. I did try to make soup dumplings with them yesterday, the batter seemed way too dry, added way too much water, and ended up wtih sodden lumps. Mind you, that could just be my cooking. sigh. My learning curve is so embarrassingly shallow.
re: aforkcalledspoon
I second the recommendation of KA's Whole Grain cookbook. You can substitute half whole wheat pastry flour for half white flour in some recipes for white flour but I've needed to play around with some to make them taste right. With the cookbook, recipes made for whole grains, it's been done for you and final results are better. Plus, there are good suggestions on cooking with whole grains (eg. adding acid like orange juice make it better). The whole grain brownies in the book are great, btw, very fudgy.
But, if you're using regular recipes, I'd only use half ww pastry flour/white ww flour in heartier goods like muffins, definitely not something as light as soup dumplings. Also, ww is higher in protein so I use a little more liquids to compensate.
I use Bob's Red Mill, Portland OR company, with great results. I use 1/2 and 1/2 for pancakes, cakes, muffins, quick breads, pie/turnover dough, waffles and even doughnuts!
I replace up to 100% for biscuits and banana pancakes for my family. I also use it for coating meats and as a thickener for gravy at home.
It has been my staple flour for the past 4 years and no one, at home or customer, has ever noticed that I am using whole wheat. I have never tried any other brand, as this is the only one available to me, but I think I'll stick with it.
But never use it for yeast bread!!!

How To: Recycle Plastic Caps
No matter how much we try to push plastic from our lives, there are always lingering offenders. For us, many of them are cosmetic- and food-related containers (moisturizer and ketchup come to mind), and plastic caps are not accepted in many city recycling programs (though most single-stream programs do accept plastic lids). What to do?
If you're not able to recycle plastic lids in your household, find out if schools in your area are participating in Aveda's new(ish) recycling campaign.
Recycle Caps With Aveda is a program that accepts rigid lids (from the likes of shampoo, mayonnaise, and more). If there's not a school in your area that is involved, encourage them to sign up. You'll be improving the community and recycling even more in one fell swoop.

According to an email I received last year from the "Recycle Caps with Aveda" Program you can also bring your caps to any Aveda store or send to:
ACA Waste Services
40 Eads Street
West Babylon, NY 11704
I saw a jar in the doctor's office collecting bottle caps as a fundraising (cancer treatment for a boy), though I'm not sure how that works.
You can check with local schools, preschools, and children's museums to see if they use bottle caps in projects. They make great wheels for recycled material cars.
I bring my caps to Aveda everytime I head to the mall. I once dropped off 500 caps at one time! Sometimes if you are lucky, they may even give you a free sample of a product. =)
here's another way to recycle bottle caps--make art! spotted at the Heidelberg Project in Detroit, art done by some local schoolchildren.

I am so excited about this program! I just called around Sacramento, CA and found the closest drop-off location: the Aveda store in Roseville Galleria. I e-mailed all my local friends/family members/coworkers just now to tell them I am placing a bin on my front porch and at my desk, collecting all clean and acceptable plastic caps and lids; once the bins get a decent amount in them, I will sift through the lot, then take them out to Roseville (a mere 45-mile round trip for me) to be recycled by Aveda. Perhaps I'll also be inspired to turn them into an art piece...
Great post!
recyling...hmm!...what if companies found alternatives to plastic caps.... :(
I think some salons that carry Aveda may also accept caps. A salon near me had a display of artistically arranged caps in its window, and I'm thinking this may be what it signified.
So excited to see people getting in to this. If anyone is in Boston, you can visit our store at the Copley Place Mall. We have many dedicated guests who continually collect caps at home, work and even on airplanes! One flight attendant continually brings in the caps he collects from water on his flights. It melts my heart to see people take the effort to care for our earth.
so THAT's why there was a bowl of caps at the Aveda salon!!! There was no sign, I thought it was so weird!
Most of all I like the artwork created by the bottle caps arranged according to colors. With everyone wanting to show how "green" they are these days, why not decorate in this way?
I saw one of my neighborhood designed the wall of his garage with colorful plastic caps. It is so nice.
