I have a black stout fermenting right now. I added about 8oz of cacao powder in the boil and I'd like to add some vanilla extract, to taste. Can this be done before bottling? Should this have been added in the boil (for future reference)?
Some 'adjuncts' (vanilla, coffee, juniper, other alcohols) can be added to the end of the boil but I would say most adjuncts should be separately sanitized, pastuerized, or boiled and then added to secondary after transfer from primary rather than added to the end of the boil.
Vanilla extract in particular would experience significant boil-off if added to the boil. It is ~35% alcohol. If you are adding vanilla beans, that's a different story. You need to find another way to sanitize vanilla beans (I'd suggest crush them and mix with vodka).
If you are adding something that is ~30%+ in alcohol content, you probably don't need to sanitize or boil it. That percentage of alcohol should stay bacteria free on its own. That's why that bottle of rum that you opened in 2005 hasn't molded or gone bad.
If you are adding an adjunct that is not alcoholic, you should consider using a method to sanitize it. Your choices, from most conservative (safe) to least conservative: boil for 5 or 10 minutes; pasteurize (place in heated water @ ~160F) for 5 to 10 minutes; soak in vodka prior to addition (overnight is my rule of thumb); spray with sanitizer (I don't like this option). You kind of have to decide how 'dirty' the object is, whether it is going to be crushed up before going into the boil, etc. to decide what is right.
I recently added 3T of pure vanilla to a stout. It isn't ready so I can't tell you how that amount worked out in the final product. However, we recently sampled the secondary and found the vanilla pleasant and not overpowering. I found ~2.5T (tablespoons not teaspoons) as a suggested amount from several websites. YMMV.
Here are some of my rules of thumb: Alcohols: vanilla, grand mariner, rum, bourbon. Don't boil them or pasteurize them! Add them as is, preferably from sanitary containers. If you are paranoid, you can sanitize the lip of the bottle.
Oak chips: soak overnight in vodka.
Honey: pasteurize @ 160F
Fruit is whole 'nother question...
Hope that helps.
I have added flavoring extracts to several beers. I always do it at bottling/kegging time. My advice with extracts is to err to the side of using less. One beer in particular turned out to be almost undrinkable with an overwhelming extract flavor. Do you have a pipette or other accurate method of measurement? Make sure to use it, and write down how much extract you used for future reference.
A good way to get some vanilla flavor is to just get a vanilla bean, split it down the middle and put it right in the secondary. I've done this many times and works great.
I made a vanilla stout and I found that 2T of this vanilla extract was too little for a 5G batch. Next time I make it I'll double that amount. The beer was excellent after two weeks of bottle conditioning, but by four weeks the vanilla was almost imperceptable.
I'm in the process of making my first beer that contains vanilla. I bought a pack of 8 beans for $4. I cut two of them down the middle and placed them in the boil for the last 5 minutes. I cut the other six up and partially smashed them. They are soaking in 4.5oz of vodka and I will be filtering them and adding the liquid when I place the batch in secondary. I figured they would fare better than using extract during the boil, so that's why I chose them over using the extract. I'm pretty excited for this batch!

Neon Pumpkin
C. pepo 80 days. We saw Neon glowing orange in our pumpkin trials far earlier than any other variety. Ripening extra early to accelerate the pumpkin harvest, you can start picking up to a month earlier than many other pumpkins. Just right for pies and jack-o-lanterns, the 7-8 pound, uniform globes measure about 10 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches tall. Semi-bush plants.

Cucurbita spp.: This traditional ornament of the autumn harvest is good for much more than jack-o-lanterns and pies. High in fiber and essential minerals, their colorful orange flesh signifies an abundance of the antioxidant beta-carotene.
CULTURE: Pumpkins have the same cultural needs as other members of the squash family. Starting transplants indoors can give you earlier yields and prize winning pumpkins. Start transplants 3 weeks prior to your usual last frost. Use 3-inch Peat or Cow pots and grow with lots of light in a warm area. After they are up and growing well, move them to an outside cold frame. Hardening off for about a week makes a difference in their vigor after transplanting. Once the danger of frost has passed, plant the entire Peat or Cow pot, covering completely. Plant the bush or short-vine varieties in rows 6-8 feet apart with the plants spaced 3-4 feet apart in the row. Large-fruited varieties should be planted in rows 8-10 feet apart, with the plants spaced 4-5 feet apart in the row. Pumpkins and gourds require moderate-to-high levels of fertility. One-half cup of our complete fertilizer should be worked in around the plant when transplanting and another at the 4-6 leaf stage. Soil testing and liming to adjust pH can increase your success. Pumpkins and gourds require uniform irrigation totaling 15-20 inches of water during the growing season. Bee attractant flowers or beehives will help yields. Misshapen or non-developing fruit is often the result of poor pollination.
DIRECT SOWING: Plant after your last frost and when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Sow with 3-4 feet between bush varieties, and 4-5 feet between vining varieties. Distance between rows: 6-10 feet. Pumpkins need just-barely-damp soils to germinate. Too much moisture causes the seed to rot. All pumpkins are monoecious (bearing separate male and female flowers on the same plant), and require bee and insect activity for successful pollination. Poor fruit set is often the result of poor pollination.
DISEASES: Pumpkins and gourds are susceptible to many of the common vine diseases, such as wilts, leaf spots and mildews, as well as several viral diseases. Common control measures include crop rotation, field sanitation, and fungicide applications. Consult your local county extension agent with specific problems.
INSECTS: Cucumber beetles and squash bugs can cause problems in squash plants. We've seen striped cucumber beetles turn healthy leaves into something that resembles a nylon sack in a matter of days. Dedicated use of Pyrethrin will help control the problem. Crop rotation can minimize problems with insects.
HARVEST: Exposure in the field to prolonged (1-2 weeks) temperatures below 50°F can result in chilling injury and lead to pumpkins and gourds rotting in storage. Pumpkins can be harvested after their rinds are hard and their skins have turned orange. Leave 3-4 inches of stem on the fruit since pumpkins without stems store poorly. Gourds should be allowed to mature as long as possible on the vine. To dry gourds, first wash gently in a solution of 10 parts water and 1 part bleach, carefully removing all dirt, then store in a warm, dry location. Pumpkins and gourds should be stored at 55-70°F and at 70% relative humidity.

Neon Pumpkins are a hit.
Aug 19, 2015 | By Tom A
This variety was a great success for us in 2015. Plants grew fast and set fruit by in June and are now ready to harvest mid-August. We kept fruits at one or two per plant and they grew to an 8 pound size with a bright orange color. This would be a sure win good garden project for kids.

The Kentucky man accused of killing two neighbors at a homeowners association meeting last year tried to speak up in court as he faces new charges for allegedly throwing water on a corrections officer and threatening to kill him.
WDRB-TV reports Mahmoud Hindi tried to get his side of the story out at his arraignment Thursday in Louisville on new assault and terroristic threatening charges.
Police say Hindi threatened to kill the corrections officer and repeated the threat several times to a mental health official. Hindi is accused of throwing water on the officer while out of his cell to take medication.
Hindi told the judge the corrections officer taunts him because he has an accent.
The Courier-Journal reports Officer Christopher Hornback said he feared for his life in light of Hindi's charges.

All NYC FC Needs Now Is a Washed-Up Old Star
Now that the dust has settled on Tuesday's announcement that Major League Soccer will welcome a new franchise to New York, it is time to stop worrying about minor details like where the team will play and how many fans will watch their games and focus on more important matters.
For starters: Which washed-up veteran, fading superstar or aging glamourpuss will New York City FC tab as its marquee first signing?
There is no way that a team co-owned by the New York Yankees and Manchester City—two of the richest organizations in professional sports—will allow NYC FC to take the field when it begins play in the 2015 season without a splashy international name or two in its lineup.
So as team executives mull over possible acquisitions, we've put together a helpful list of potential recruits who could immediately put NYC FC in the spotlight and emulate David Beckham, Thierry Henry and some of the other big-name draws who have graced MLS in the past.

I for one welcome discounted food at a place I'd most likely visit after a late night out.
Be nice. LIke any food chain, it differs by location. There's only a dozen food joints in this little town, so Denny's in fancy for us, I wear my bestest shorts there.
The "fried cheese melt" from Denny's is sexy as hell. its only $4 (or $3.20 with this coupon) and it is 4 mozz sticks inside a grilled cheese with fries. AMAZING deal!

#4. Puritans Were Puritanical
Every American schoolkid who has sat through a lesson on the history of Thanksgiving was told that the pilgrims who founded America were Puritans, a group of sexually repressed religious fanatics. In reality, the Puritans and the Pilgrims arrived separately but since that's the only context in which most of us have even heard of Puritans, we just mentally combined the pilgrims and the Puritans into a single group of people who loved turkey but loathed sex.
Sex with turkeys presented the ultimate conflict of interest.
But those early settlers in America were part of a much larger group in the Church of England who were working to purify the world of anything relating to genitalia.
The Reality:
Although sex between unmarried couples was theoretically a crime in Puritan society, that hardly slowed them down. It just meant that their society was rife with shotgun weddings. According to some studies, up to 1 in 3 Puritan women were pregnant when they were married. The odds of becoming pregnant from one act of intercourse are a lot lower than that, so that's a lot of deviant behavior for a group that cheerfully crushed people to death for looking "witchy."
Look close. Ain't no rings on those fingers.
Given that they lived in such a repressive and extremist society, these dangerous criminals must have carried out their illicit affairs with discretion, right? Not even close. The Puritans had sex everywhere. They had sex in churchyards. They had sex in ditches and in hedges. They had sex in bars and in bean patches and on porches. One of the most common places for Puritan servants to have sex was in the kitchen, often while the other servants watched.
It's not even like the clergy were uptight about a little action in the bedroom or bean patch. The Puritan church not only condoned sex for pleasure between married spouses, it actually required it. Sex was mandatory not only because it produced offspring, but because the Puritans believed that sexually pleasing one's spouse was a religious duty. At least one man was excommunicated from the Puritan church for refusing to have sex with his wife. Impotency or poor sexual performance was considered grounds for divorce, and a man was not to withdraw from his wife in case he ruined her orgasm.
"The frilly neck thing is to tickle her -- well, we don't talk about it."
So, how could the Puritans justify awesome sex for married couples but no sex for the unmarried? The Puritan church believed that because marriage was between a man, a woman and Jesus, sex should also be between a man, a woman and Jesus. This wasn't even a metaphor: The Puritan church sought converts by describing the "voluptuous delights" that awaited them in heaven with their "heavenly husband." Yeah, they're talking about sex with Jesus.

BRUCEVILLE-EDDY (October 30, 2012)- An 18-wheeler started spilling diesel on a stretch of Central Texas Interstate Tuesday night near Bruceville-Eddy.
Around 8 p.m. Tuesday the driver of the big rig ran over some debris in the road which caused the fuel lines on the trucks tanks to disconnect.
Diesel then started to spill on the road as the driver pulled over.
Lorena Police and Lorena Firefighters arrived on scene and were able to plug the leaks until a repairman could get to the truck and fix the problem.
Traffic slowed down in the area, but never came to a stop.

I will be playing Gamma World (the 4e version) for the first time soon - and I'll be the GM. I'm pretty comfortable with it, but I have one question:
What's a soldier, when speaking about monster roles? The book outlines what lurkers, brutes, etc., mean and do. But it never seems to explain soldiers. Then Porkers are described as soldiers (at least - maybe some others are, but my PCs are going to be level 1, so...Porkers are important).
I don't play D&D, so please don't assume I understand 4e terms.

While in Memphis I had the distinct pleasure to finally have some AmberQue. What is AmberQue?? Well I think it will be the next big sauce on the market. I was happy that my friend Joe McManus of Joey Mac's Smoke Stax came out with it. Joey's team won the American Royal 2008 Invitational BBQ Competition. I think a lot of people are looking for a different flavor other that the traditional tomato based sauces. I really wish mustard sauces were more popular on the competition circuit. I would be using this one in a heartbeat straight out of the bottle.
It has a great blend of tangy sweet and spice. There were a few of us that tried this sauce and all of us thought it was excellent. We tried it on sausage, pulled pork, brisket and pork loin. It rocked on everything. I can't wait to try it on ribs next. So this is my plug for it. This is not a paid endorsement at all. I just really really liked it a LOT. If you can get your hands on it you should. I mean seriously get to Hawgeyes and get some. you will not be disappointed at all.

The 6 Ballsiest Sports Cheats of All Time
For as long as there have been sports, there have been shady athletes who will stop at nothing to gain an unfair competitive advantage. We call these people cheaters (unless they're never caught, in which case we just call them great). But then there are the ones who cheat with such audacity and creativity that you kind of want to just give them the victory for their effort.
#6. Winning a Marathon by Hitching a Ride
It's a pretty safe bet that if the person who crosses the finish line first during a marathon doesn't look like a marathon runner, that person probably cheated. Marathon running isn't like baseball; you can't be successful at it and be fat at the same time. With that in mind, just imagine the crowd's surprise when the winner of the 1904 Olympic Marathon also happened to be a professional bricklayer who hadn't done any running in months. That man was Fred Lorz.
Via Legendsrevealed.com
And that thing he's holding is an early 20th century Porta-John.
Lorz likely started the race with honest intentions, considering the fact that he ran the first nine miles clean, leaving him exhausted to the point of near collapse. So, naturally, his manager pulled up alongside the defeated runner and asked him if he needed a ride. He probably meant a ride to the hospital, but to Lorz, it meant he now had a real shot at winning the race.
Because cars in 1904 were about as reliable as AT&T reception in big cities, the pair only made it 11 miles before the car broke down. But that was all the rest Lorz needed. He hopped out of the car and ran the last few miles of the race, winning easily. To his credit, moments later, his conscience got the best of him and Lorz admitted that his win may have been aided by the use of automotive technology. He was banned for a year and apparently used the time off to actually get in shape, because he won the Boston Marathon the very next year.
Via Historiasdeldxt
You can see how overcome with joy he is in this photo.
But 75 years later, another suspect winner won the Boston Marathon, and she wasn't nearly as conflicted about claiming victory. The winner in the women's group of the 1980 Boston Marathon was Rosie Ruiz, fresh off her New York City Marathon 11th place women's finish only six months before. After onlookers at the finish line noticed that Ruiz wasn't even sweating despite looking way too flabby to run 26 miles without dying, they questioned whether her winning (and record-breaking) run might have been the result of cheating.
Race officials in Boston and New York checked up on Ruiz, and what they found was hilarious. For starters, the other runners didn't even remember seeing her come up from behind, or even in the race at all, until the last few miles. Oh, and there were also several eyewitnesses who noticed Ruiz boarding the New York subway at a point near the race, in full track gear, and getting off at another point further down the line.
"Why yes, my sweat does smell remarkably like watered-down Powerade. It's ... a glandular thing."
For some reason, race officials viewed riding the subway for a majority of the race to be an unfair competitive advantage and stripped Ruiz of her medals.
#5. A Baseball Player Crawls Through a Ventilation Shaft to Retrieve a Doctored Bat
For baseball players looking to get a steroidlike power boost without the raisin-sized shriveled testicles that normally come with it, the only way to go is to use a corked bat. Basically, players drill a hole in the barrel of their bat, fill it with cork and then seal the top. The cork is sometimes replaced with little bits and pieces of super bounce ball, which should give you some idea of what kind of effect a corked bat has on a baseball.
Normally, the only way a player gets caught using a corked bat is when the bat inevitably shatters and the evidence reveals itself to everyone on the field (as famously happened to disgraced former home run machine Sammy Sosa). For the Cleveland Indians' Albert Belle, though, it wasn't a broken bat that sealed his fate during a game against the Chicago White Sox in 1994. White Sox manager Gene Lamont, who is apparently equipped with X-ray vision, somehow just figured out that Belle was using a corked bat and asked the umpires to examine it.
Via MLB
"Can we get a hacksaw or something? My fingernail isn't doing it."
Because the only real alternative was to just smash the bat against the hardest available surface until it shattered, the umpires locked the bat in their office with plans to examine it after the game. Knowing that Lamont was right about the bat and fearful of having their star player suspended, the Cleveland Indians quickly hatched one of the most absurd plans in sports cheating history. Indians manager Mike Hargrove called up one of his relief pitchers, Jason Grimsley, and sent him on a mission to get the bat back. And to do this, he had to crawl through the stadium's ventilation system to get to the umpires' office.
After shifting a few ceiling tiles around, Grimsley was able to get into the bat's prison to liberate it. He replaced the illicit bat with an undoctored one belonging to one of his teammates, Paul Sorrento. The problem with that plan is that it required someone to completely ignore or be totally unaware of the fact that said teammate's name was engraved on the bat.
"Wait, this can't be Albert Belle's bat because this bat doesn't smell like a volatile piece of shit."
Grimsley made his way back to the bullpen and probably figured he had pulled off the perfect crime. He had not. During the sixth inning, a janitor noticed a broken ceiling tile and assorted ceiling debris on the floor of the umpires' office. Needless to say, the Indians had some questions to answer.
They pleaded ignorance when asked why Albert Belle's name had taken on such a radical new spelling on the bat. So, figuring that law enforcement agents have nothing better to do on the South Side of Chicago, the umps eventually contacted Chicago police and FBI agents. Fingerprints were taken and things were investigated and, finally, Albert Belle was charged and suspended.
Future bats were cut after the games and presented to reporters to show their legitimacy. No, that's not a joke.
#4. Painting a Race Horse to Drive Up the Odds
Having a name as wimpy as Fine Cotton is not a fate we would wish on anyone, much less a horse. But being saddled with that moniker was the least of this Australian gelding's problems. Among the bigger problems was that, despite being a race horse, Fine Cotton was horrible at racing.
Via Perthnow.com
But never has a horse been better at Russian roulette.
So what do you do if you're the owner of a race horse that's all but guaranteed to lose any race in which it competes? The obvious answer is to buy a stronger horse and just race with that one. That's exactly what Fine Cotton's owners did, but only after taking the less traditional step of claiming that the new horse was Fine Cotton. If that sounds stupid, understand that the ploy meant that they could use a stronger horse while still collecting on the long betting odds placed on the original shitty horse. If the plan worked, they would cash in nicely.
And it almost did work, except that the horse they wanted to use got injured. Rather than accepting the clear signs that God wanted them to fail, the syndicate simply found another horse to buy. Unfortunately, the new horse looked nothing like Fine Cotton and was even a completely different color. Game over, right? No, not even close. Rather than let a little "Hey, that's a completely different horse" get in the way, the conspirators doused Bold Personality in Clairol hair dye to try to lighten his coat, a ploy that worked about as well as you'd expect -- which is to say, not at all.
Via Theage.com
That's the Fine Cotton impostor winning the race. And smelling like a freshly painted hair salon.
On the day of the actual race, the incompetence of the plotters reached Wile E. Coyote levels. When they realized that no one had remembered to change the color of Bold Personality's leg hair, they literally painted the poor beast's legs and figured nobody would notice. Then, as bets began flowing in on Fine Cotton, the odds changed dramatically, from a 33-1 long shot to a 7-2 favorite. This caught the attention of bookmakers, and authorities began to suspect cheating. When the race was held and the previously inept Fine Cotton emerged victorious, suspicions were raised even further. The white paint visibly running down "Fine Cotton"'s legs probably played some part in fueling those suspicions.
When track officials tried to talk to Fine Cotton's trainer and get the horse's registration documents, they found that the trainer had fled and taken the papers with him. By this point, the jig was up, and Fine Cotton was disqualified. The trainer was discovered hiding out in South Australia a few weeks later and tossed in prison, and the other members of the conspiracy were banned from horse racing. We're guessing Fine Cotton lived in relative happiness for the rest of his days before finally being made into glue.
Via Smh.com
Bold Personality eventually grew to enjoy its natural hair color.

I am looking for a word which means stealing something on its way to the recipient. For example, suppose you sent a gift to your friend. And suppose someone steals it before it reaches your friend. Is there one word (other than simply stealing) to explain this action?

You could use intercept.
Besides already-mentioned intercept, consider waylay (in sense "To accost or intercept unexpectedly") and hijack ("To forcibly stop and seize control of some vehicle in order to rob it or to reach a destination"), and also the verb to pirate.
You might consider purloin, which involves a breach of trust. Otherwise, there is no exact equivalent for what you want.
Businesses usually call losses during the transport of goods pilferage.
I was thinking of
One that has not yet been suggested is "poached":
To take or appropriate something unfairly or illegally.
To make an alliterative compound word specific to your predicament: parcel-poached!
I can only think of intercept. That can probably involve theft, but doesn't necessarily do so.
Snatched. As from the jaws of death.
To divert has a strong sense of turning aside something in passage. If the connotation of theft were clear from context, it might serve. The phrase "diversion theft" may refer to a specific scam.
Perhaps you are looking for seized, to indicate a profound meaning, yet similar to both intercepted and hijacked. Hijacked for some reason makes me think of a plane being taken over by terrorists, and intercepted of a "fumble" (or a football possession loss [turnover] more than the act of losing the oval). I meant to say that it's what come to mind, in the first case if someone mentioned that word it brings a memory of September 11 event and the second one, watching a game over tv of the superbowl in which one team loses the ball, so their turn gets intercepted. Please correct me if that's somewhat expressed wrongly or feel free to contribute with this answer.
I was thinking of hijack initially. But now I'm considering "co-opt" and "appropriate."
I think of intercept.
how about 'take over'? as in.. 'When I was younger.. I used a lot mIRC and there was always some guys trying to take over my channel (#)! They were making the X or W (bots with higher privilege than a common user and depending on the channel owner settings even with more authority than an operator[which was a moderator] ) to execute a mass de-op (making the operators of the channel to lose their @) and then kicking them out. Since the bot X or W was still receiving orders from the user that performed a channel 'TAKE OVA!' (take over) they were placing themselves as the operators and setting rules like ban specific users, flood others, etc.. It was a nightmare!

Vegan Panettone
Makes 10 small panettone
Sourdough Starter
- 42.5g mother starter
- 170g bread flour
- 85g water
- 1 tbsp agave
- 56.5g lukewarm water
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- sourdough starter from above
- 70g orange juice, warm
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 65g soy yogurt or sour cream (or blended silken tofu), at room temp
- 1 tsp each lemon, orange, vanilla extract
- zest of one lemon
- 213g bread flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 170g vegetable shortening, or Earth Balance margarine, at room temp
- 227g dried fruit (I used equal amounts of currants, golden raisins, cranberries)
Day One: Make the Sourdough Starter
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and work into a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 30 seconds, or until all ingredients are mixed together. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and let rise at room temperature for 6-8 hours. If you do not want to use the starter right away, stick it in the fridge after it has risen for up to four days.
Day Two: Make the Dough
1. Whisk together water and agave in your mixer's bowl, then sprinkle yeast over top and whisk until dissolved. Let sit for a minute, then cut sourdough starter into 10-12 pieces and place in the water/yeast mixture. Stir to soften the starter a bit.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk flax into the orange juice until thick and goopy. Then whisk in yogurt and extracts until well combined. Add to starter mixture.
3. Add zest, flour, and salt, then mix with the paddle attachment for 2 mins, until a soft and sticky dough is formed (it should still hold together).
4. Switch to the dough hook and add the sugar 1/2 tbsp at a time, mixing well after each addition. After all sugar is added, increase the speed and mix for 5 mins. Scrape down the bowl when necessary.
5. Add the shortening/margarine about 1 tbsp at a time, mixing well after addition. Scrape down the bowl when necessary. When all the fat is added the dough should be smooth and shiny but too sticky too handle with your bare hands. Scrape down the bowl if needed, then knead for an additional 5 mins to fully develop the gluten.
6. Add the dried fruit and mix in on the lowest speed for 2 mins.
7. Transfer to dough to a floured surface using a wet spatula to get it out of the bowl. Sprinkle flour over the top, then stretch and fold the dough. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and stretch and fold again. Form the dough into a boule.
8. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, or whatever amount will fill your molds 1/3 of the way full.
9. Let rise at room temp for 12 hours.
10. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for about 25-30 mins, or until loaves are golden. Internal temperature should be 185 F/85 C. Let cool in the pan for 5 mins, then thoroughly cool on a wire rack before eating.
A note on panettone molds. I made my own by cutting out parchment paper to fit a large muffin tin like you see here. Just make sure that your bottom piece is attached to the side piece--otherwise the dough can rise into the cracks and push the sides up and out, instead of the dough rising within the side pieces. I stapled everything together because it's hard to tape parchment paper.

Long time reader, first time commenting.
How different is the recipe he has in the book you used vs. the one in Bread Baker's Apprentice? I was planning on veganizing that in the next couple weeks.
Btw I alawys get a bug in my ear to veganize some thing that hasn't been veganized and then, before I do it, you've already done it (see: the french baking experiments). Good show!

I'm so glad I came across your recipe today. I was wondering was I was going to do to make a nice pannetone without butter. I was thinking olive oil, but in addition to the oil, using a starter is a great way to get a tender crust. Thanks for posting!

Got one of these - not a bad saw. Have used it for plenty of diy chores.
China's finest but it'll do the job if you're just using it for small stuff and aren't a contractor.
I've also got one and it's lasted me for a couple years so far and still works well for pruning. If you find one in store you can probably also get 20% with those coupons they give away all the time.
I am a diy guy.I use this from wood to rusty metal. Does well in my opinion
Got one yesterday, hope its good.
Wish mine had a rotating handle...
This price can be had almost all of the time, with that said, I have one and it works good and has lasted 2 years so far without an issue, it shakes/vibrates a bit more than my Sawzall does but for $20 who could complain? $20 price is well worth it.
I've had one for a few months now, and only used it a few times. I have found it to be sturdy, doesn't feel as cheap as you would expect. This has the quick blade release and it works well. I wouldn't recommend it for heavy use, but overall, it is a really great value for the occasional DIY'er.
I have one and like it. I burned up the 'trigger" on an earlier model HF saw, but I was using it to cut down a tree. The motor still works. Perhaps I should wire it so that the saw comes on as soon as I plug it in.
@whitcwa: that sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Yes, it would be good for odd jobs. I would not try to do anything big with it.
I have one too. The unit itself is pretty good... it feels like a real tool, not a toy.
I have used it to cut 2x4s and thick tree branches.
Definitely worth that $20 if you are a DIYer or hobbyist who just needs to cut something every now and then. Hella better than sweating away with a handsaw.
Is this deal still available in store? If so, what do you need to do to redeem the coupon?

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says an Iranian military plane fired upon, but did not hit, an unarmed U.S. drone aircraft a week ago in what a spokesman said was international airspace over the Persian Gulf.
Pentagon press secretary George Little disclosed the incident was disclosed Thursday.
Little said the drone aircraft was performing "routine surveillance" and was about 16 miles off the Iranian coast when an Iranian SU-25 warplane intercepted it and opened fire. He said it was the first time an unmanned U.S. aircraft was shot at in international airspace over the Gulf.
Little said the U.S. informed the Iranians that it would continue to conduct such surveillance flights in international airspace.

SOUTH AFGHANISTAN (CNN) -- A man wearing an Afghan police uniform shot and killed two soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, ISAF spokeswoman Lt. Amy Hession told CNN.
Insider attacks by Afghan soldiers and police officers – or militants wearing uniforms – have been on the rise for months. More than 50 people have been killed in Afghanistan in similar attacks this year. The Afghan government calls the killings acts of terrorism.
The so-called "green-on-blue" attacks have triggered concerns about the stability of Afghan security forces ahead of planned NATO withdrawals in 2014. No more details were immediately available about the gunman in Tuesday's attack.
The dead soldiers were identified as members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles – a British army regiment. Military sources said the soldiers' next of kin had been informed.
"I am saddened to report the deaths of two soldiers from 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles who were shot and killed by a man wearing an Afghan police uniform at a checkpoint in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province," said Maj. Laurence Roche, Task Force Helmand spokesman.
"The loss of these soldiers is a huge blow to the Royal Gurkha Rifles and everyone serving in Task Force Helmand. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and fellow Gurkhas at this time."

If a particle's position is given by $x = 4-12t+3t^2$ (where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in meters):
a) What is the velocity at $t = 1$ s?
Ok, so I have an answer:
$v = \frac{dx}{dt} = -12 + 6t$
At $t = 1$, $v = -12 + 6(1) = -6$ m/s
But my problem is that I want to see the steps of using the formula $v = \frac{dx}{dt}$ in order to achieve $-12 + 6t$...
I am in physics with calc, and calc is only a co-requisite for this class, so I'm taking it while I'm taking physics. As you can see calc is a little behind. We're just now learning limits in calc, and I was hoping someone could help me figure this out.

Wood Group Mustang has previously provided a full spectrum of services for Dow's pipeline assets, including support for the company's Texas pipeline integrity program. Following completion of front-end loading (FEL) in 2012, detailed design for the project began in February 2013.
Dow Chemical on Thursday awarded a contract to Wood Group
Mustang for construction of 140 miles of ethane,
ethylene, propane and propylene pipelines between Dow's
site in Freeport, Texas, and facilities at Mont Belvieu, Texas.
The pipelines and station upgrades are part of construction for a world-class
ethylene unit, previously announced as part of Dow's plan to
further connect its US operations with cost-advantaged feedstocks.
"We are proud that Dow recognized the differentiators that set
Wood Group Mustang apart from our competitors and is entrusting
us with the responsibility of executing this prestigious project," said John Ellison,
president of Wood Group Mustang's pipeline business.
"We will endeavor to maintain this trust," he added.
Wood Group Mustang will provide engineering, field services and
construction management on the project through its Houston and
Angleton, Texas offices.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

There are two versions that are possible:
Er hat tanzen dürfen, aber ich habe nicht dürfen.
Which one is correct?
(Updated: 'haben' declension corrected.)
There are two versions that are possible:
Which one is correct?
(Updated: 'haben' declension corrected.)
Apart from the incorrect form of haben, example 1) is correct:
This is because dürfen is a full verb in the second part of the sentence (in contrast to a modal verb as in the first part of the sentence, where there is an infinitive form (tanzen) attached to it) and therefore is inflected differently. You could also dürfen as a modal verb in the second part:
However, as c.p. already mentioned, repeating in detail what is negated is uncommon, and a simple ich nicht suffices:
Furthermore, using the perfect and not the imperfect for dürfen seems odd to me, however I cannot pinpoint why. So, I cannot think of a context in which I would not write or say:
Ich würde übersetzen:
The use of of perfect and imperfect strongly depends on the context in which they are used. In colloquial German, both tenses are considered identical by the majority of the speakers, whereas in written texts the imperfect is used much more often - and rightfully so.
In spoken German "Ich habe gestern getanzt" (perfect) and "Ich tanzte gestern" (imperfect) are considered identical, even though only the latter version is grammatically correct, since the German perfect is 'officially' used in the same way the English present perfect is.
I'd say in this situation (apart from that I hate dancing ;) )

This is a question about the definition of a smooth function in Guillemin and Pollack's "Differential Topology". G&P define all manifolds as objects embedded in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N$, which (as a zillion people have reminded me) is not how mathematicians usually think of manifolds - nevertheless, this is a question about how things are done in G&P:
Right on the bottom of page 2 and top of page 3, G&P say: "a mapping $f$ is smooth if it has continuous partial derivatives of all orders. However, when the domain of $f$ is not open, on usually cannot speak of partial derivatives...So we adapt the open situation to more general spaces. A map $f:X \to \mathbb{R}^m$ defined on an arbitrary subset $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called smooth if it may be locally extended to a smooth map on open sets; that is, if around each point $x$ in $X$ there is an open set $U$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a smooth map $F: U\to\mathbb{R}^m$ such that $F$ equals $f$ on $U \cap X$".
So consider the map $f$ from the $x$-axis in $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x,0) = 0$. Since the $x$-axis is not open in $\mathbb{R}^2$, we need to extend $f$ to a smooth function $F$ around (say) $(0,0)$. There are TWO ways to do this (at least): $F(x,y) = y$ and $F(x,y) = 0$ for all points in the plane. These two different extensions give different derivatives around $(0,0)$, so it would seem that when specifying an extension we also need to specify which onee, if we want to talk about "THE" derivative at a point in the domain of $f$.
Clearly I'm misunderstanding something basic - what is it?

During a test, I was told to calculate the exact value of this: $$S=1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots+10000$$
This is what I did:
Observe the following: $$(S=1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots+100^2)\wedge (S=100^2+\cdots+3^2+2^2+1^2)$$ Is true. Therefore, $$2S = (1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots+100^2) + (100^2+\cdots+3^2+2^2+1^2) = 100\cdot101^2$$ So, $$S=50\cdot(101^2)$$ $$=50\cdot10201$$ $$=510050$$
I was wrong.
There was no explanation in the result page, so I am not very sure what went wrong. But yeah, upon returning home, I tried to evaluate this with Java:
int x = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; ++i) {
x += Math.pow(i,2);
It returns $338350$.
Could you tell me what did I do wrong? It may seem obvious, but clearly I'm not able to see it.
Furthermore, apparently this kind of question is under the category of mathematical induction. Honestly, the only thing I've been doing with induction was prove some equalities, inequalities and divisibility. How is this exactly related to induction?

Identifiable by their sturdy guards, circular appearance and functional versatility, nautical wall sconces recently have seen a rebirth in popularity. These marine lights date back to the bulkhead lights found on early century steamer ships. Prototypical wall sconces hung tightly against ship walls, meeting the functional purpose of illuminating these vessels. Modern designers and homeowners favor these wall lights because of their style. Wall sconces often act as accent pieces, enhancing the styles of both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, our nautical sconce lights feature the same commitment to craftsmanship as those originals, allowing a lifetime of service.
Our nautical wall sconces shows off a slim profile and is flush mounted—perfect to insert both style and brightness into undersized spaces. The flush mounting also protects the fixtures from weather, letting them become exterior lighting. Nautical wall lights are regularly installed near front doors, windows or on personal docks, offering a stylish and practical solution to lighting in those settings.

Four Lions
"A shockingly hilarious, stiletto-sharp satire!"—A. O. Scott, The New York Times
"A ballsy romp through one of the least lighthearted subjects imaginable. A fearless comedy…audacious and uncompromising."—The Onion's AV Club
Chris Morris' Four Lions is a funny, thrilling comedy that illuminates modern jihadism through the prism of farce. It understands jihadists as human beings. And it understands human beings as innately ridiculous. What This Is Spinal Tap did for heavy metal and Dr Strangelove for the Cold War, Four Lions does for the modern face of terrorism.
In a British city, four men have a secret plan. Omar (Riz Ahmed) is disillusioned about the treatment of Muslims around the world and is determined to become a soldier. This is the most exciting idea Waj (Kayvan Novak) has ever heard, and it's a no brainer because Omar does Waj's thinking for him. Opposed to Omar and everyone else on earth is Islamic convert Barry (Nigel Lindsay). He'd realize he joined the cell to channel his nihilism—if he had half the self-knowledge of a duck. Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) is the odd man out. He can make a bomb—but he can't blow himself up just now coz his sick dad has "started eating newspaper." Instead he's training crows to fly bombs through windows. This is what Omar has to deal with.
They must strike a decisive blow on their own turf but can any of them strike a match without punching himself in the face? Four Lions plunges us beyond seeing these young men as unfathomably alien. It undermines the folly of just wishing them away or, even worse, alienating the entire culture from which they emerge. The film is neither pro- nor anti-religious. The jokes fly out of the characters' conflicts, excesses, and mistakes. Crackling with wit and tension, Four Lions is an essential response to our failure to engage with reality and a high toast to the idea that laughter is better than killing. (102 mins, 35mm)

Oscar nominations: From book to blockbuster
POSTED: 9:20 AM Feb 29 2012 UPDATED: 2:00 AM Jan 14 2013
Many of the Oscar-nominated movies originated as books. In fact, Hollywood had been mining bookshelves for ideas for years -- and film audiences have been delighted with many great movies as a result. Check out some of the books that have been turned into the greatest films of all time.

Email retention is a feature that provides a tamper-proof copy of every email sent or received, accessible only by administrators of the business. This feature is only available to business accounts. The system is flexible enough to meet the demands of most industries:
To enable email retention in your business account:
[+] link to expand the account details.
You'll be taken to a screen where you can choose whether to enable retention of incoming and/or outgoing email. You can also set extra Bcc addresses to send a copy of the user's sent email to.
Because our retention system is flexible, and because different businesses and industries have different retention policies and requirements, our pricing is based on the total size of email retained for a user.
This means in a basic case, you could use retention as a short term backup and monitoring system. For instance, you could enable a 3-month retention policy so that any email a user deleted within the last 3 months could be easily restored, or you can view a log of all emails sent by a user in the last 3 months. With the relatively low storage used by 3 months of emails, this would be a relatively cheap way of buying this peace-of-mind.
In industry compliance cases, where 5-year, 7-year or even longer retention periods are required, there's no arbitrary limits to the size, number or bandwidth of emails sent/received that can be retained. You can keep everything for as long as you need.
The price is calculated and charged on the 1st calendar day of each month. For each user archive, $2.50 is charged for each gigabyte or part thereof in the user's retention account.
As an example, consider 3 users with the following retained email on the 1st day of a month.
|0.7 GB received, 0.2 GB sent
|0.9 GB total
|1.3 GB received, 0.3 GB sent
|1.6 GB total
|3.2 GB received, 0.5 GB sent
|3.7 GB total
The total charge on that day would be 1 GB + 2 GB + 4 GB = 7 GB x $2.50 USD = $17.50 USD.
Note that the pricing is per archive, not per user. Deleting a user doesn't remove the existing archive (by default it is retained for historical purposes). Deactivating archiving of new messages still leaves the existing archive in place.
To see what your current usage is, log in as the archiveuser:
[+] link to expand the account details, then click the Mailbox link to look into that account.
From there, go to Advanced, then to Quota Usage.
Sorting the list by the Quota column can be helpful to see which email archives are using the most space.
Only administrators of the business can view retained emails.
[+] link to expand the account details, then click the Mailbox link to look into that account.
In the folder list on the left is a list of users with retention enabled, with a sub-folder each for sent and received email.

I use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 11 on Windows 7. I still haven't found a way to change the syncing direction with Outlook: The first time I used sync, I checked the option "Sync from Outlook to iPhone" (contacts, calendar), and now I'd like to sync both ways. But it seems to be impossible!
iOS is designed to sync media with iTunes while syncing mail and other information through online servers. Based on what I know, syncing your iPhone with Outlook means that iTunes reads your email account information (server names, login credentials, etc.) from Outlook, and configures your iPhone to access the same email accounts.
From this point, you can keep Outlook and iPhone "synchronized" by allowing them to continue accessing the same centralized email account(s). The email server behaves as the master copy, and both clients access it and retrieve the data.
You may need to configure your email server to allow IMAP or Exchange access in order to see the behavior you want. This will depend on your email provider.

I moved into a newly remodeled home. The walk-in shower walls are grouted. Now the corners have started to crack.
How do I slow down the cracking? Should it be caulked, or would that be a bad idea?
The corners of the shower walls should never have been grouted in the first place. Corners are the most subject to movement and thus the most likely to crack, so they get caulked, not grouted.

Tip of the Moment: Save your gold! Using it before level 200 really isn't going to have any effect in the long run.
Hey guys, Bob10110 here! I decided to write a guide for Sacred Seasons, covering the basics of the game. Hopefully this serves as a place where everybody can go to find the information they need.
Table of Contents
- Starting Out (picking a class)
- Your First Quest (explanation of NPC's, stats, and fighting in general)
- Reaching Your Potential (how to find friends and level up faster than them)
- When to Run Arenas (a guideline on suggested levels to run mid-game and end-game arenas)
Starting OutSo you have found yourself in this world, adventurer. The spirits of the Cycle have seen a great threat looming on the horizon, and have summoned you to Shikaakwa. Your first decision is a fairly large one: What will your spirit be incarnated as?
(In other words, what class do I pick?)
Having sufficient experience with several classes, I will give advice below based on certain things you wish to accomplish. And do not forget that you can change your class at ANY time outside of battle; you effectively have all 16 classes saved on your account at whatever levels you achieve with them.
There are three main roles in the game: Healer, Buffer, and Attacker.
- The best Healers from mid-game onwards will have a full-healing ability, though most other classes can play as Support Healers for easier battles.
- The best Buffers have a massive buff of some sort for either attack rate, physical Defense, or magical Resistance; ideally this is a buff that affects the entire group at once though there are certainly some single-ally buffs worth using as well. In late game there are also Buffers whose job is to debuff the enemies; Skill, Speed, Luck, and attack rate debuffs are generally the useful ones.
- The best Attackers typically attack with a faster battle timer and don't have anything better to be doing, such as healing.
If you're just here for the badges: I'd probably go with the Shaman, who is one of the Spring classes. She is a very versatile Magic character with a fast battle timer, useful healing, and enemy debuff skills. Shaman is fun to play overall, and not a bad choice if you actually decide to stick with the game.
If you want to know what each class is like: Here's a list.
- Sun Witch: She is rather solo-capable with a large amount of good single-ally heals at her disposal. Notable characteristics are her low Health and high Magic power.
- Desert Bandit: He is infamous for full heals that are effective and cheap, but also unfortunately a risky gamble. Players may wish to stick to Snake Juice 2 as the main healing skill when it is not necessary to full heal; not only is it 100% reliable, but it is still a good heal.
- Pathfinder: She has a fast battle timer, making her a rather decent attacker. She is also well-known for her massive group-healing skill, Blackberry 4, which is learned at level 91 and continues to scale with her level.
- Hypnotist: He is very solo-capable as he is the tankiest character in the game, possessing exceptionally high physical Defense and magical Resistance, and comes with a potent group physical Defense buff to boot (the second most powerful buff to that stat). His Time Warp 2 ability is also well-known for being a modest attack rate buff on the entire group. His Magical attacks are fast, but weak.
- Scout: He is a character based entirely around speed. Both his Speed stat and his attack rate are among the best, and he has a group buff to massively speed up the attack rate of the entire party. His downsides are low Health, poor physical Defense and magical Resistance and lack of any healing abilities; if he fails to dodge attacks with his high Speed he'll fall quickly.
- Shaman: She is a versatile character, possessing a quick attack rate and great healing abilities including a full heal at level 91. Her Area-of-Effect skillset is the only notable one below level 150, and as such she can grow very quickly in the right places.
- Evergreen Soldier: He is a somewhat tanky character with high health and a decent single-ally physical Defense buff. He can also keep the group fairly healthy with his near-endless supply of small group heals.
- Charmer: She is by far the most efficient single-ally full healer, having a large amount of SP for her abilities and a decently quick attack rate. Her drawbacks are her low health, physical Defense, and Magic power.
- Savage: She is a savage attacker with her fast attack rate, though her healing ability is fairly expensive costwise. She is well known for Blood of the Fire Wolf 2, a great single-ally attack rate buff learned at level 91.
- Thaumaturgist: He is a tanky Magic user with moderately decent group buffs for both physical Defense and magical Resistance. He also has the highest damage output per attack, though with one of the slowest battle timers don't expect him to hit nearly as often as others. He also lacks a significant healing ability.
- Harvest Soldier: She is a solo-capable character possessing a good amount of health and a full heal ability. She also has the best group physical Defense buff in the game, learned at level 150.
- Clown: He is a beefy attacker capable of using either attacking style, but he does not possess any healing abilities. One of his tricks is a useful group slow debuff for his enemies, unlocked at level 82.
- Arctic Soldier: He has the strongest physical Attack, the highest Health, and the best physical Defense in the game. Also notable is his single-ally magical Resistance buff, which is the second most powerful buff to that stat. His shortcomings are in having the worst magical Resistance, one of the slowest battle timers, and the lack of any healing abilities.
- Clairvoyant: She is a powerful Magic character famous for her level 91 attack rate buff Astral Travel 3. She also wields the most potent group magic Resistance buff in the game. However, her low Health and Defense leave her open to physical Attack based opponents.
- Medicine Man: He is a solo-capable character similar to the Harvest Soldier, possessing decent Health and full-heal abilities. His group magic Resistance buffs are cheap and fairly effective.
- Snow Bandit: She is a somewhat balanced character, not particularly excelling in anything but not particularly horrible in anything either.
Regarding classes without (at least decent) healing abilities: You'll often find soloing to be a hard or sometimes even impossible task. Arctic Soldiers, Clowns, and Scouts will need to party up often in mid-game and late-game (read: doing endurance-challenging "arenas" at 200+). Thaumaturgists and Evergreen Soldiers may also need to seek others.
One final note: Once you've picked a class, note that its true potential will start to be seen around level 200. Just because a class is great (or sucks) now does not mean it will be such later on.

Firm in suit against FirstEnergy has high-profile, winning record
October 17, 2013
CHESTER — The law firm hired by a group of Lawrenceville residents to represent them in their lawsuit against FirstEnergy Corp. has a track record of winning high-profile environmental case....
We can be rid of that coal ash, fly ash, with ZERO EMISSIONS, and produce an abundance of by- products, such as pure methanol, oxygen, potash, and electricity that could be funneled into any electrical grid. We do this with a CO2 Trans Tech System, that has been internationally patented, and was first commercialized in 2003. It has a performance guarantee that it will do exactly as it says it will, backed by Lloyds of London, and has an ROI of 5 years or less. In fact, we will offer 100% financing for this project, that is how much we believe in our system. We have the ability to build a 1 MWe system or as large as the one we are building in Saudi Arabia which is 2.4 GWe and will be completed in 2015. We can also be rid of sludge, sewage, MSW, agricultural, medical, and industrial waste, petroleum and oil lubricants, forest debris, CO2, Mercury, SOXs, and NOXs. Please note; Our first USA account is a fly ash dumpsite! We can help you...

I know Solaris is on the way out with 10.1
I also know that v10 is only supported on 32bit flavours of RedHat & SUSE.
What I do want to know, has anyone had any luck installing it on either Ubuntu or CentOS?
Google only told me of this blog which had revolved around Engine 9.2.
--EDIT-- Looks like Ubuntu support for may arrive at 10.1. Ease of use and lower costs on AWS look to be the reasons (over CentOS)

Be Aware & Prepare
Catastrophic floods may grab all the headlines, but more common water damage from plumbing systems end up costing homeowners, renters, and landlords billions of dollars every year1. Plumbing problems (including leaking or damaged tubs, toilets showers and burst pipes), leaky roofs, washing machines, water heaters and frozen pipes result in thousands of people of water damage insurance claims annually.
Even with an annual plumbing inspection, careful routine maintenance, and emergency planning, you can't be everywhere water might make an unannounced, unwelcome—and potentially very expensive—appearance. That's one reason thousands of homeowners, renters and landlords have turned to water alarm systems of widely varying cost and complexity. These systems promise to alert you to potential water damage before it hits your wallet, but do they consistently stem disaster's tide?
The key word for this type of shut-off system is "automatic." When a sensor, typically placed on the floor where leaks are likely to occur, detects water, it wirelessly instructs a shut-off valve mounted on your dwelling's water main to cut the water supply. There's no need for human interaction and the systems promise 24/7 vigilance, even if you're thousands of miles from home. And since they're fully automatic—first detecting the water, then shutting down the water supply without any human input—automatic water shut-off systems are potentially the most effective way to prevent expensive water losses and prevent a water damage insurance claim.
But before you hit the plumbing supply store, be aware that these fully automated systems aren't necessarily a perfect solution. For starters, they're expensive—expect prices around $1,000, not including labor and professional installation. They're not always adept at identifying the kind of slow leaks that often lead to wet rot and mold. And also consider that:
Although remote alert systems aren't designed to "slam the door shut" like automated shut-off systems, their proactive nature can still alert you of a potential water loss when you're away from home.
Remote alert systems typically use one or more sensors to actively monitor for water, temperature fluctuations, and power outages. Once the system detects an event, it automatically dials a phone number to report the problem. It's this ability to auto-report a potential disaster—many systems support land lines or VOIP, and some work during power outages—combined with a reasonable price tag that make remote alarm systems an attractive option for some homeowners and landlords.
When considering a remote alarm system, it's important to weigh its inability to completely shut down your home's water supply system against its automatic notification capabilities. And like a automatic system, there's no guarantee that a remote alarm system will detect every water leak. But considering that remote alert systems typically cost hundreds of dollars less than automatic systems and don't usually require professional installation, many homeowners and landlords find them a viable option in the face of potential water damage.
These systems are the simplest, lowest-cost options for combatting potential water damage. Wireless local alarm systems often integrate into other home monitoring devices, including wireless security systems. Hard wired or battery operated local alarm systems, on the other hand, are specifically designed as a simple, inexpensive investment that won't require professional installation—place the sensors near where water damage may occur and they sound an alarm when water's detected.
But their low investment, typically under $50, may actually carry a considerable cost, since they may not catch every water leak. And since they simply "go off," much like a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector, you won't hear a local alarm if you're not home. In addition, these lower-cost options may not be as sensitive to water's presence as more-sophisticated systems.
From false-positive event alarms to an inability to detect a potentially severe leak, even the most robust and well-planned water sensor strategy isn't foolproof. But Allstate property insurance acts as part of your "emergency essentials," offering significant water loss protection for your home and savings around the clock.

SEMA Las Vegas - Rollin' High In VegasWritten by on March 1, 2002 Contributors: Bolig, Stunkard A Look Into Sema's Industry-Only Event From A Mopar Perspective
The show season winds down in September for the most part, and those of us in more weather-intense climates put our wheel treasures into the garages for the annual winter makeover. But the chill winds of October mean manufacturers can begin unveiling their latest designs for the off-season thrash and coming year. The event where most of this grandstanding takes place is the huge Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The SEMA show is the granddaddy of them all. While the PRI show in Indianapolis has been a growing venue for cutting-edge technology, nothing matches the awe-inspiring immensity of the 1,120,000-square-foot Vegas facility's hosting 6,200 booths filled with new and exotic equipment. As a gearhead, one can't help but feel like a kid in a candy store. Coupled with the AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) and TANA (Tire Association of North America), the four-day event from Tuesday through Friday is the largest gathering of automotive and tire industry professionals in the world.
Perhaps a little background on SEMA is in order. The organization began in 1963 as the Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association as a lobbying arm and joint resource group for the growing number of small manufacturers and suppliers of performance equipment in the early days of hot rodding. Companies like Edelbrock, Weiand, Crane, and others have been with it since then, and the first show in Anaheim, California, in the late '60s would have been considered modest (about 100 booths at the first show). Now a staple of the year, the Vegas version has grown not only in size, but also in scope and international reach.
Today, even with everyone on our staff on hand at some time during the event, we can't see it all, but we're going to give you an exclusive glimpse of some of the Mopar-oriented happenings in the city of high rollers.

Time Machines proprietor Mike Stavesky brought his Hemi Challenger convertible clone equipped with twin Holley throttle bodies to the show. The tech story on this revolutionary product is elsewhere in this issue.New products galore! How about this big-block eight-bolt stroker crank forged from 4340 grade steel? Eagle Specialty Products makes this one.Like always, appearance is a big deal at SEMA, and custom-painted cars were everywhere. This stylin' Stratus was in the AudioBahn deafening booth.One of the coolest new Holley products is this very interesting nitrous/gasoline injector set-up. These nitrous injectors install directly under the factory-style fuel injectors.On Tuesday evening, DaimlerChrysler rented an entire neighborhood in the hills south of the Strip, then trucked in a huge display of cars from the show. Live music, cookouts, and movies showing on two-story house walls were part of it.For those of a small-block persuasion, Gear Vendors brought a version of their overdrive unit for the 904 Torqueflite.Here's one for the 5.2L crowd. Does your '98-or-later Durango or Dakota need a little more punch? Holley Performance Products has introduced a dry NOS Nitrous system kit that will give 100hp at the push of a button.
Want to get serious? Here is the full-tilt 2003 Viper GTS/ R prototype that was also on display at the DC booth. According to rumors, it will go into production late this year-plans are to make 30 (yes, only 3-0 total). If you have to ask how much, no, you probably can't afford it.With a blast from the past is Clifford Performance, who displayed a version of the well-remembered and seldom-seen Hyper-Pak intake for the Slant Six.Rounding out our brief tour was this item from Mopar Performance. This is a cool light bar that also works as a lift to remove heavy objects from the bed of your truck; no word on availability yet, but it looks like it's a "must have," 'specially for 'gator hunters!A company named Prothane has a much-needed part for the '67-'72 A- and '66-'70 B-Body cars.
