Last summer Jeremy was working on a lodge in Washington on the Upper Columbia in a tiny town called Colville.
Nestled right in the corner of Idaho, Washington and Canada. 7 miles south of the Canadian border.
This lodge was the only project that he has ever worked on that I haven't seen. Until last month.
Below are a couple of pictures of the lodge. The crew did a beautiful job!We spent a week up there with a couple of friends and made the most of our vacation! An entire week full of exploring, snowboarding and relaxing.(Bonneville Dam)

Yeah: I don't see any resemblance between you and Walter M. at all. Walter only imagined that he was doing fantastic exciting things. You are actually doing them. Live the dream!!

Article By Ester Mirembe
Family, like we learned in primary school, is the nucleus of society. Of course, not with those exact words but when we were children we thought like children and now we know with the simple language, what they really meant was that families make up the fabric of society. And society, as we know it, is like a hand sewn quilt. Some parts almost perfect, others in need of repair, others coming undone.
Deliverance Church Makerere, has actively recognized the importance of families, functional families, in building a nation. Through 'The Annual Family Conference' (TAFC) which has been running since 2011, they have addressed issues that concern families. Surprisingly (even though it shouldn't be) we are all part of families one way or another so this conference is for each and every one of us. It is especially recommended because there's no school for parenting or preparing for marriage or raising children. For the most part, it is a gamble but oh God has done great things. The speakers lined for the week-long conference have years of experience under their belts, you don't have to figure this out alone.
Last year's theme, "The Pillars of a thriving family", was broadly discussed with sub-themes such as pillars of the family, understanding a marital covenant, finances in marriage, laws of attraction and conflict resolution by Mrs.Dorothy Kisaka, Prof.Sam Lubega and Pr.Jairus Mutebe. The thing about these themes is that they make Christianity so, I daresay, practical. I believe that spirituality serves in the preservation of a noble character and a value system that respects family.
Even better, this year's conference theme is "Stewardship and the Family". There is an all-inclusive package for all married and unmarried people with sub-themes ranging from media and family, parenting/raising godly offspring, finances and family, to single and yet whole. There will, surely, be something for everyone through key activities such as panel dialogues, workshops and plenary sessions. The key-note speakers of the conference will be Dr.James Magara, Mrs.Dorothy Kisaka, Dr. & Mrs.Serrukka, Pr.Amon and Lillian Katiso.
It is important to note that the hours are also family friendly and won't interrupt your work schedule either. Maybe gym, but not work. Monday 6th June through to Sunday 12th, the place to be at 5:30pm will be Deliverance Church Makerere. The 3-hour long sessions will end at 8:30pm. Of course, it is okay to make mistakes and learn along the way but we could all use some lessons from the people that have walked the journey before us. It's only fair to ourselves.
"Families; Like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one." -Unknown

Taste test: These "chips" are actually made from rice flour and molded into a shape that roughly resembles very slightly rippled potato chips. We've tried some other flavors, and they generally have a hard time getting much flavor onto the rice chips. In this case, there's no salt taste, and there's no pepper either. So basically, there's no flavor at all. It's like eating communion wafers, except that these are crunchier.
Aroma: Weird, bad smell.
Manufacturer: Trader Joe's

From the package: "Trader Joe's Rice Chips are a healthy twist on a favorite snack. Think of them as a cross between a potato chips and a rice cake, with some serious flavor. Made with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives, these light, crispy chips are baked, not fried, so you get all the great taste of your favorite snack with absolutely no saturdated fat!"

Good Morning,
I've been using Rachio with a 6 zone indexing valve for a few years and hoping to see improvements to the functionality with this setup. Unless I'm missing something, I have not seen any improvements in the last few years. I have three general recommendations that I think would benefit all indexing valve users:
If Rachio knows I have an indexing valve, and I run a manual watering, can't the app keep track of what zone I'm on?
Along those lines, as long as I'm starting from the right zone (which would require some way to confirm the current zone through the app), and I wanted to run a zone that is three zones down the indexing valve, couldn't Rachio start and stop the system three times to get there? This would potentially limit the ability to run manual waterings, although it seems that the app should be able to keep track of how many zones it has cycled through.
If I want to manually water, right now I have to start and stop each zone manually. I read on another post that you guys were working on adding a break in between in zone for indexing valves, so I could just say, manually water all for 20 minutes and the app could insert the breaks.I don't see this functionality, although it was mentioned in 2015 on these forums.
The way I've been told to set up my schedules with an index valve is to set up separate schedules for each zone. That means if I want to make a overall schedule, I have to go into the 6 different schedules to make the same change, which is painful. Why not make it so that indexing valve users can change all their zones with one change?
Because I need to use the manual function, the climate skip applies when it thinks I've watered the same zone recently, when in fact I've just cycled through the zones to get to where I want to be, so even the intuitive features don't work on an indexing valve.
I'd like to know if I'm missing something with the functionality of the app. If I'm not, I would like an update on when some of these features could be added to the road map for improvements.
To add my 2 cents, a cheap rain sensor can be installed low to the ground near one of the sprinklers to keep everything in sync.
When ever associated zone runs, rain sensor should get wet and Rachio could get a confirmation about a known zone being active (thus allow software to make sure everything is in sync). Rain sensor would probably need to be protected by some sort of mesh in order to filter out debris close to the ground.
Alternately data from a flow sensor (if present) could help differentiating which zone is active by measuring differences in water consumption rate of different zones (rates being different due to number of irrigation heads…).
Question: why are you using an indexing valve? Arent indexing valves hydraulically operated? Convert to single zone electric valves and there will be no more issues.
The indexing valve was in place when I purchased the home. I'm trying to avoid the cost and time to needed to convert to single zone valves. In the thread below I was able to see some of the options to convert the system, but I have limited irrigation skills so I'd be paying someone else to do it. If there's another, easier way to do it, I'd love to hear about it.
Convert to single zones
You must be in Florida. Its the only part of the country I know that I believe is still using index valves. I cannot believe it would be more than $300 to get your system up-to-date with electric solenoid valves.
I think it ends up being a pretty pricey operation if you have a professional do it, unfortunately . @mariogator Your assessment is pretty much accurate, I don't believe you are missing any app functionality. Our support for indexing valves could be improved. Like others mentioned, this is something that is starting to come more and more on our radar, as they are typically only present in Florida. Thank you for your feedback on your experience, it is helpful to have real user experiences to bring to the team when trying to determine the best way to improve the product!
You might get two or three quotations from contractors if you are able financially. Irrigation work is not easy and I hate making repairs at my house.
But if all your lateral lines are right at the indexing valve, a contractor or you could construct a valve manifold box where all your valves would be side by side. Best of luck.
I'm in Florida and had a 4 zone indexing valve system. Had it changed professionally to solenoids and would never go back. The time I spent trying to figure out how to get the index valve to work was not worth it. Cost < $1k.
We decided to get new sod this winter/spring. I don't know how I could have watered it 3x daily with the mechanical timer/indexing valve. Everything is so much simpler if you update.
Just switch to solenoids & you'll be much happier.
@tuna I appreciate you sharing your experience. I know it's a big transition, but it does seem very worthwhile in the end.
Amen. Indexing valves are so tough to understand.
Thank you very much for sharing this! We just bought a house in Melbourne, FL and I HATE my indexing valve! I want to convert too but was worried about the cost. If it's less than $1000 then that's a no-brainer!
I believe Florida is the main market for indexing valves. They are manufactured by KRain which is in Florida.
They are common because most people in Florida have a well pump so they don't mind wasting water. Which is exactly what an indexing valve system does sadly. I think it's also the easiest to install for contractors. They are an inefficient and an old technology that should be phased out. Miami is actually paying people to switch to an electric system.
Very interesting information. Makes total sense. Learned something new from you.

When You See An Orrery For Sale When You See An Orrery For Sale February 17, 2014 | Author: Jayne Rutledge | Posted in Education
The movement of planets around the sun and the moons movement around our earth are depicted by models collectively called orreries. If you wish to buy such an item, there are many things to take into consideration. So when you find an orrery for sale it is worth making comparisons to establish its true worth.
The usual things you would look at are condition, size and the movement but there is much more to consider. The materials they are made of can make a difference to the value and the amount of moons and planets they contain is obviously a large factor. They can be as little as our earth and moon revolving around the sun and each other or complex enough to show all the planets and a variety of their moons.
Built originally as a scientific piece, these amazing items can clearly show the movement of each planet and moon. It is worth remembering that at the time some older ones were built Wholesale Mario Pasalic Jersey , not all the moons or even planets we know of now, were recognized or known.
Originally they were called planetariums but that word has now become more widely used to describe the light shows in large domed rooms, which depict the night sky. Now they have many names which describe ones with certain groups of planets. So it might be worth knowing which style you prefer to help cut down your search.
The idea is that the mechanism shows the movement of moons around planets and planets around the sun. They also includes the spin of each planet and moon and the tilt of each on their axis. This m
would be a major feat, especially when you consider that Saturn and Jupiter both have more than 60 moons apiece. It is understandable then that only certain parts are depicted on most orreries and they vary widely. It is also true that they are not built to scale as the .

The next few posts will document the Art Show portion of our Family Reunion, held on July 9, 2011 at the Warren (RI) Recreational Park. If I were to try to describe any other parts of this incredible gathering, it would take weeks!
(For those of you who are not familiar with the family dynamic, the Femino Family consists of my relatives on my Mother's side.)
ANYway, Family Members were asked to bring their own artwork to the Reunion for display. Some of us donated pieces to be Auctioned or raffled (to raise funds for next years' assembly. The Auction raised $150.00 and the raffle, $177.00).
I will begin with my Brother Lenny Martineau's drawings, because he brought the most, and donated them ALL! These are just a few of the drawings he brought...his others can be seen on his website www.wellnesseducation.us
I apologize for the poor photography...conditions were not optimal, and I was a little rushed. But you get the idea!
More, soon!

Chapter 192 - Once upon a Time… There were Three People (Part One)
Translated by: Pipipingu
Edited by: Tim
What is fate? This word has countless meanings: being born rich or poor, special encounters, the course of life with its ever-changing trajectories and elusive fluctuations, or is it the mysterious, unknown will of the heavens?
If fate really was such an unknown, unchangeable existence, then this type of existence would be pointless. Naturally, cultivators would not accept such a conclusion. When the Heavenly Tomes descended, the people on the continent began to cultivate and borrow strength from the stars in order to change the course of nature. They would reflect on their own fate, face it with an utterly fearless spirit, and dare to change it.
Every cultivator's first connection with the world occurred on the night they determined their Fated Star. As a result, people's understanding of fate mirrored the vast sea of stars at night.
Since ancient times, the stars in the night sky would never change, regardless of position or brightness. They would forever shine serenely on the mortal world. Naturally, there was an infinite number of complicated connections between the countless stars, and they simply could not be drawn out on paper in their entirety. The images those connections formed were absolutely impossible to illustrate.
People would look up at the stars and see those beautiful and complicated images. They were so beautiful and complicated that their hearts would begin to palpitate. Quite naturally, they would believe that these images concealed an extremely deep, everlasting meaning.
Countless years ago, the powerful members of the Orthodoxy's older generations vaguely perceived a sensation from the realm of celestial beings. They speculated that some sort of hidden power within the stars affected the fate of the whole continent.
As for the life of every individual, their Fated Star, the area surrounding it, and all of its connections were perhaps their individual fates.
—This kind of reasoning coincidentally agreed with the philosophy of fate within the Daoist Canon. It was also one of the most difficult explanations to understand: fate was the overview of trajectories concerning interactions between people.
The infinite stars could hold countless lives, hopes, and wishes. Even the corresponding explanation of fate, which people found so mysterious, could certainly also be found within the constellations.
It could be said that after a person was born, a corresponding explanation of their fate's trajectory would appear within the stars. It could also be said that even before a person was born his or her fate already existed within the stars, perhaps as a short line or as a grand constellation.
If cultivators wanted to change their own fate, they had to change those lines and images which outlined their fates. They had to first change the brightness and position of their Fated Stars. If they truly could change the position and brightness of their Fated Stars to what they wanted, then the connections between the surrounding stars would change accordingly, affecting fates of other people at the same time.
Fate was never an independent existence. The people's fates were interlinked one with another, just as the the Daoist Canon explained: fate was the overview of trajectories concerning interaction between people.
However, in the past, the continent's countless astronomers had left behind records explaining that the stars, regardless of their position or brightness, had never changed at all. With all this, it was completely impossible to change one's fate by desiring to move one's Fated Star. Who had enough power to stand on earth and affect the heavens? Who could grab the stars from the mortal realm?
In the final book of the Pandect of Daoist Canon, the section regarding fate only had a total of approximately six hundred words. It only mentioned a few simple possibilities in the second paragraph, which included the cultivator being able to truly enter the Grand Liberation Realm or being capable of such an achievement. However, this Grand Liberation Realm was even more mysterious than the Concealed Divinity Realm. According to the legend, it only existed in people's imaginations. It was like a myth, so how could it be treated as truth?
Then, was there really anyone who had succeeded in changing their fate? According to the records within the Daoist Canon and the statements of officials, such a thing had never occurred ever since the Heavenly Tomes had descended. Even if it had truly occurred before, no one was brave enough to publicly discuss it due to the lack of evidence and its excessively far-reaching effects.
As a matter of fact, there had always been a kind of reasoning or conjecture among the people saying that in the past thousand years, changing one's fate ought to have occurred three times.
Only those involved in changing one's fate had the power to expunge all records in the imperial observatory and various observatories. They had the power to cause the entire human world to steer clear of discussing this matter, in fear. This was because those involved in rising against and defying the heavens each of the three times were now all monarchs.
The three were Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, and the………Divine Empress of the Zhou Dynasty.
A thousand years ago, the previous empire had begun to show signs of corruption, and people lived on the edge of starvation. In the north, the Demon Race stared greedily at the empire, and in the south, several aristocratic families were rebelling. Countless armies arose, and wars were being fought continuously, destroying almost the entire landscape.
In the midst of the constant warring, countless experts surfaced throughout the continent, and even several great experts of the Saint Realm continuously appeared. This was also the first period of explosive growth the world of cultivation had experienced.
For a time, the flags on the gate of Luoyang changed countless times. One day a great general would dethrone the current emperor and kill his way into the eastern hills, and on the next day, a second young master of the Xiao Family in the south would suddenly change sides and call himself "Sima". He would take the written admonition from Holy Maiden Peak and stage a coup d'etat with experts from various sects. Nobody knew who exactly it was that cleaned up that mess of a broken landscape in the end.
In that time, Taizu was a senior official of the Tianliang County. As he was related to the deposed emperor's most beloved concubine, he was trusted and held in high regard, due to which he was ordered to guard the city. It could be said that he was very low-key or that he was very ordinary. However, in countless years he had never actually left the area of Tianliang County to go to Fork Mountain even by half a step.
In the eyes of the commoners, he was extremely mediocre and unambitious. When compared to those great lords who were in the spotlight at that time, he was standing in the dark, and truly nobody believed that he would be able to conquer the world. When discussing about who had power, nobody would even mention his name. People only believed that the Tianliang County had a decent geographical position, and that the clever sons of Taizu could protect themselves in this time of prominent emerging by bearing patiently and surrendering to the strongest force at that time.
However, who would have thought that after many years, the situation on the continent would change so suddenly? Great lords battled without rest, causing great losses and damage to every force. As Taizu built up strength in Tianliang County, he slowly grew in power. One day, he led a great army of thirty thousand eastwards from Fork Mountain, and actually conquered seventeen cities in one breath. He formed alliances with many aristocratic families in the south and also received the full support of the Way. He actually achieved a great victory against the Rebels of Tiger Hill, which was renowned for its valiance outside of the city of Luoyang. He had successfully killed his way into the city. In the second year, he conquered the capital city and had officially taken the throne in front of the Mausoleum of Books. He had truly united the world.
Looking at this period of history when the Zhou Dynasty empire had been founded, there were many parts that could not be explained, and many things which could not happen according to reason. For example, the great lords could have taken a small glance at the Tianliang County in the beginning, and squash Taizu who was still weak at the time. In the first three bloody battles, when Taizu had arrived at Fork Mountain, just when the situation was about to take a turn for the worst, he would always be able to pull through and change misfortune into blessing. In the dozen or so uninterrupted, intense battles outside of the city of Luoyang, Taizu should have met his end, but he did not, as if there was some type of hidden power always protecting him.
If it was luck, then such great luck that would last for such a long time could only be called fate.
After Taizu had ascended to the throne in the capital, various sages led countless famous generals on expeditions everywhere. The various sects and aristocratic families in the south had all became his subjects, and those great lords who were unwilling to accept it had all been eliminated. For a while, all of the heroic characters in the world were either being killed, captured, or sent to the capital. How could those experts resign themselves? They all cursed loudly without end on the execution grounds.
It was at that time that a legend began to spread. The reason why Emperor Taizu could tower over the experts of the world and kill his way to victory whilst seemingly being an ordinary person was that in the previous dozen or so years, he had focused on cultivation. In essence, he had formed an alliance with the leader of the Way at that time and had used some sort of secret technique to change his fate, thus changing his Fated Star into an Emperor's Star.
Variations in translations:
道藏/道典 – Scriptures of the Way, Classics of the Way, Daoist Canon, Daoist Scrolls and so on all refer to the same thing

Until now Your compassion has helped us, and Your kindness has not forsaken us, and so, God, never abandon us (Siddur).
At a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man who was sober for several years stated, "I wish that I could tell you that since I have been sober everything has gone my way, but it has not. My wife has recently served me with divorce papers, I have lost my job, my car has been repossessed, and my house is up for sheriff's sale. But I am certain that God did not see me through so many ordeals only to walk out on me now."
I then realized that although I had recited the words of the above prayer many times, I had not grasped their full meaning. At moments of great distress and anguish, we may become bewildered and even lose hope. How foolish for us to think that after all that God has done to sustain us, He would now forsake us!
Perhaps the problem stems from our not realizing that God has sustained us until now. In the Amidah, we express our gratitude "for Your miracles that are with us every day." Still, we tend to take many things for granted as though they are natural phenomena rather than Divine miracles and we fail to see the protective and guiding hand of God, every day of our lives. A true faith and realization of God's watchfulness over us would reassure us that just as He has not abandoned us in the past, which is attested to by our very existence, He will not abandon us in the future.

Self-improvement is fun!
My very sick little sister mustered up all the enthusiasm she possibly could when I explained this project to her. As someone who is quite possibly even more type A then myself, Andie is very appreciative of self-improvement schemes. Therfore in a voice only slightly less defeated then before she congratulated me on my idea and hoped I would follow through with it. So in a real fit of self improvement I went on to the self.com website and looked at their 30 day makeovers. I was also on Glamour and signed up for their program to. If I keep up with half the stuff I've signed up for Im going to do well!

Summer berries colour pack
I have not completed my project (lap blanket) but am very pleased with this yarn so far. The colours compliment each other beautifully and the yarn is very easy to work with. It appears a consistent thickness; no lumps, bumps or knots and has a soft texture. It will be interesting to see how it makes up and washes.

The Burdens of General Petraeus
Great stuff on the bold commander of US troops in Iraq, via the Assyrian International News:
Gen. Petraeus must cope with the reality that should a half-dozen,
or perhaps even one, of his some 160,000 soldiers, in the heat of combat, shoot
a wounded terrorist, the damage done could rival losing an entire battle -- a
fact well known to a religiously zealous enemy that feels no such humanitarian
constraints. Radical Islamists may be the enemy, but American forces in the
field must downplay, not accentuate religious differences, if they are to keep
on their side Muslim forces loyal to an elected government.
Read the entire article. He does have the hopes of an entire nation on his shoulders. We pray that his trials may be bearable, and he can soon bring victory over the terrorists.

Uncertainty and faith!!!!
We in our day to life are concerned about I – me – mine – us. As a chef, while I see the minimum guaranteed in a Function sheet. With respect to any profession, respective professional see the personnel around,as relevant to numbers present for instant- for a bus conductor, the passengers as figures as number of tickets, for a doctor, for a lawyer, for a salesman, it is just numbers, I remember my brother – in – law Mr. Sankaran who mentioned this in many of his debates as to how the humans feature to respective professionals are no humans just numbers, I never gave a thought of it quite so seriously.
Not until my experience in an offshore incident…
I was sailing in D.S.Sagar Prabhat the first drill ship of O.N.G.C. while the oil exploration began in Cauvery delta, representating the company I was Catering Manager / Projecct Manager along with Mr. Kumaresan, who was 5 years senior to me. We with our staff team of 10 travelled to Visakapattinam dry dock to take over from Vishali Caterers. The inventory check, taking over process was quite laborious, as the ship was docked and getting the maintenance done, with limitation to move around. The ship being at the dock, the cabins locked and none too co-operative from the earlier caterers. The Radio Officer who was responsible for the smooth transition was never so had his demands for special care for himself even before we could move in the inventories. This was total different ball game while compared to the offshore operations we had done with other mercantile ships and warehouse ships.
The experience dealing with staff of Public Sector Units- P.S.U. was worth writing in golden letters for posing challenges for budding professionals like me. This has tested my metal to withstand and all sorts of pressures and solve crisis. While we set off on sail from Visakapattinam dry to Cauvery basin near Pondicherry by sailing it took 3 days.
You have no need to be concerned wondering we might have had a insipid time…you have mistaken…! The day it set off the journey and our team was all in action to prepare the first day service as, the equipments, and location was new from my chefs to my laundry man!!!! Yet we clocked the time for having the counter ready for service sharp by noon. IN the offshore ships/ Rigs- THE CRANE OPERATOR is the undisputed leaders for the respective shifts. Hence on that occasion the person named Hussain walks over to me at the counter to mention that the crew on the ship were staging HUNGER STRIKE!!! The reason being change of caterers..! I was devoid of expressions.. I just gazed at him, worrying about the food cost. He crew were squatting on the helipad and gheroing and time and again calling Hai! Hai ! Catering Manager!( Fortunately they did not know my name to be mentioned!!!! ) The irony was I had to serve them frooti – the tetra pack soft drink at the helipad to them, to break the fasting by evening!. I wass counting the heads who were protesting ( obviously all junior staff were there - 100 of them!)
Just before that I had discarded all the prepared Breakfast, Lunch and evening snack overboard on to the sea.!!!! I was so depressed seeing the wastage…later on the voyage had dramas like one of my service staff- LESLIE had cut his palm across while trying to pry open the biscuit tin.
The medic onboard Rajeshwari , this guy was such an entertainment, While Leslie came running to the galley with blood dripping all over, I just grabbed a clean cloth wrapped it with some ice cubes and rushed him to the medic. Rajeshwari not knowing what the situation, was casual and was reading a novel. I was making Leslie sit by the first aid table, who was turning pale. I just yelled at the medic, he with frustration and obnoxious expression turned at me as if I had intruded into his bedroom. With reluctance, not to listen to my relating the incident lethargically flipped over the towel that was covering the injury!! I was standing behind the medic. I suddenly heard a squeak of noise and the next moment I saw Rajeshwari was wobbling and posing his hand over his face like Saint Vishwamitra and slopping onto the chair nearby and fainting! I was cursing myself for having to handle two crisis at the same time, I pushed Leslie towards the wall and asked him to catch hold of the cot frame. I had to run for some water and splashed on Rajeshwari's face. He came back to his conscious and looked around and with sheepish smile confided, "Chief, please don't mistake make, You see it has been very long time since I saw blood, It took me by shock.. I think, the wound is too deep as the bones are visible, we need to call emergency chopper and we have to send him to onshore for immediate medical attention as I am just a "First Aid provider on board!! And what happened here let it be between us!!!!!"
The MMI directives insists to have a Medical Attendant on boar for emergeny- Rajeshwari had his certificates and the commission had him on board to fill the number!!!!!
I was wondering to myself, these people have been accounted as professionals and perform their respective duties undeterred. While the situation arises they do not demonstrate the professional command to diffuse the situation and above that they themselves become a factor for the crisis complexity!!!! The organisation that employed persons such as Rajeshwari!!! How far he was interviewed or assessed for his professional competence!!!! I am certain after this 22 odd years the patters and system hopefully could have been redefined and perfected!!
The nature of getting tethered in complex issue, I was just as usual was transferring fund from my bank account at UK to my NRO account, but somehow time and again, A.G. Gardner's ON THE RULE OF THE ROAD, this was one of the chapters in English while I studied, would keep flashing on to my memory! Sometimes in one of the novels that I read about philosophy.. I never thought those were to be relevant to my day to day life too!!!

|Effects of worts treated with proteases on the assimilation of free amino acids and fermentation performance of lager yeast.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23279816 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in free amino acids (FAA) composition by supplementing three commercial proteases (Neutrase, Flavorzyme and Protamex) at the beginning of wort mashing, and monitoring the effects on the assimilation pattern of FAA and fermentation performance of lager yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus) during normal and high gravity fermentations. Proteases supplementation significantly improved the extract yield and FAA level of mashed worts. Normal gravity worts treated with Flavorzyme and Neutrase exhibited higher fermentability, ethanol production and flavor volatiles concentration compared to the control worts, while these beneficial effects were observed in high gravity worts treated with Protamex and Neutrase. The reason for the above results is proposed to be the change in the assimilation pattern of FAA in lager yeast with increased wort gravity, especially for the improved assimilation ratios of Leu, Arg, Phe, His, Asp and Val. In normal gravity fermentations, there were strong correlations between the assimilation amounts of Lys, Leu, Arg and His and fermentability, while in high gravity fermentations, these good correlations were found with only Lys and His. The present study suggested that optimizing the composition of FAA by supplementing proteases during wort mashing was beneficial to beer brewing for improving fermentation performance of lager yeast and flavor volatiles formation.

Great Googly Moogly!
Beware of the yellow snow!
good thing my speaker wasnt on loud.
my heart went up to 500bps for a couple o second there...
i kinda figure it was a that kinda game when the title is tic tac scare.
ps. its a screamer.
Spoiler^^^ highlight it.
Happy Holiday
If I could swear on this site I would! It scared the living daylights out of me! My volume was on high and I almost wet myself! This happened on another forum a few years back (with a different game) and one of the members was a mom. She had her 3 year old sitting on her lap when she opened the game and this happened. The 3 year old freaked out really bad and wouldn't stop crying for hours. The mom went off on the person who posted it really bad. Not for posting it, but for not putting a warning next to it. I agree it wouldn't be as "funny" if you had to put a warning, but still, I could understand the mom's anger. I hate things like this, I don't think they're funny. I guess I'm the party pooper now.
Great Googly Moogly!
Beware of the yellow snow!
not really, this is the second page. I understand what you mean but getting scared even as a kid isn't gonna kill you, a little kid crying is just a big pain.

Took a week long trip out to Salt Lake City to visit a few friends of mine. It was an amazing time, and exactly what I needed in my life. I know I will be back, and miss it already. Wish I didn't have to get on that airplane to leave.

Invitation to action and press conference of milk producers in Brussels - Trouble is brewing in the dairy market
"Fiery" action and press conference of milk producers on May 4th, 2011
Delegations of milk producers from numerous countries will stage a strong action in front of the European parliament to address the members of parliament as the representatives of the people directly and to present them with their demands. A major demand is, for instance, that milk producers get far better pooling possibilities than proposed by the European Commission.
The Committee on Agriculture will vote at the end of May on the Nicholson-report, a legislative proposal on the dairy market. By staging this action the milk producers want to call on the members of parliament to represent the opinion of the people. That is the opinion of the European dairy farmers who need a fair income and the opinion of the people in the EU who want a sustainable agriculture.
We would like to invite you to an expressive, vibrant and "fiery" action of milk producers where the members of the European Parliament will be presented with our demands on Wednesday May 4th, 2011.
Prior to this action we will organise a press conference where representatives of milk producers will explain in detail what they expect the European Parliament to do with regard to the framework conditions for the dairy market.
Press conference: 10:30, Renaissance Hotel, Rue du Parnasse 19, 1050 Brussels
Action: 12:00, Place du Luxembourg, 1050 Brussels
The critical situation of European dairy farms and what is at stake will be visible and tangible during this "fiery" action of milk producers with delegations from many European countries.
After two dramatic years with tremendous financial losses for milk producers the milk prices have slightly recovered. There is, however, no reason to give an all-clear. On the one hand production costs are once more increasing disproportionately and undo the modest improvements on the income side. On the other hand measures were taken to prevent another failure of the market were neither taken at the European nor at the national level. On May 24th and 25th, 2011 the Committee on Agriculture of the European Parliament will vote on the Nicholson-report and will thus take a position on the proposals outlined in the milk package of the European Commission.

Actually, this is not my finger, this is the closest thing I could find on the net that looked like my finger.
My finger was more dangly, and to be more specific, I popped it in an instant after visually perceiving that my finger was off at a 90 degree angle. And literally a moment later, it popped out again b/c I didn't do the job properly, so I hugged it again to get it into place.
Was fine after that.
Interesting thing today, I am having flashbacks of the event, and it isn't causing pain per se, but it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I wouldn't want to imagine the experience of real and serious trauma, egad.

When I broke my wrist and pelvis simultaneously in a snowboard crash, I was given Demoral (sp?). I would wake from a very convincing opiate like dream reliving the crash(with belief) over and over. Often with a jerk that would aggravate the injuries and add to the realism of the dream.

As losses mount, gate suffers
RALEIGH – As the Carolina Hurricanes continue to rack up losses, fans seem more likely to stay at home rather than going to cheer on the team at PNC Arena.
Through the first nine home games, the Canes posted a record of 9-6 and enjoyed a spot atop the division. The team even enjoyed a four-game winning streak at one point. In those nine games, average attendance was a strong 18,403 per game and the team announced six capacity crowds of 18,680.
It wouldn't last, however. In the past 10 games, the Canes have gotten only one win and dropped to third in the division and out of a playoff spot.
As losses have piled up, crowds have dwindled. In the past eight home games, attendance was an average of 16,698 per game, a 9 percent decrease from the winning days, and the only sellout came on a Saturday, when crowds tend to be higher.
During the losing streak, players have shown some frustration on the ice.
"It's been a battle," coach Kirk Muller said after Tuesday's loss to the Washington Capitals. He was talking about the team, of course, but those in the front office no doubt feel the same.

How to use custom domains with PressCDN
Last Updated -
You can use any first level sub-domain you wish for your CDN host (ex. cdn.example-site.com). We do not recommend using www.example-site.com as this should point to the web server versus CDN CNAME.
You'll first need to find your CDN zone's CNAME record, which you can find on atomic.
How do I find my CDN CNAME?
You can view your CDN zones from the specific app page or you can view your CDN zones here:
You can then verify the CDN CNAME for the app by clicking on the for your app's CDN zone.
Once you find the correct CNAME for your specific site (these are unique for each site) and you will need to create them if you are not using PressDNS.
If you are managing your DNS zone with another provider, you must create the CNAME record for your CDN sub-domain or it will not work.
Afterwards, please contact support so that we can add the custom domain to your CDN zone.
NOTE: You may use HTTPS for your custom CDN domain (ex. https://cdn.example-site.com), but you will need a valid SSL certificate that is for this sub-domain or includes the CDN sub-domain as a SAN (Subject Alternative Name).
Once the new custom domain resolves with the correct CNAME (DOMAINID-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com), you can log into the WordPress Dashboard to update the settings by clicking on the Pagely icon > PressCDN
You will then update the HTTP CDN URL with your newly minted custom CDN domain.

About Earlene Young
Earlene Young, the founder and owner of Life Essentials has been advising businesses regarding safety and preparedness for the past 30 years and comes from a very diversified background of industries.
Safety and preparedness has always been my passion. Early in my work life I personally witnessed some serious injuries to fellow employees due to a lack or absence of a safety policy. Further, there were no emergency supplies on hand to provide first-aid.
I became determined from there forward, to do everything in my power to see safety policies and procedures initiated wherever I worked, and to prepare for the unexpected event.
With the increase in recent years of natural disasters, man-made disasters, and economic down turns worldwide; I have increasingly felt it was imperative that businesses get prepared now for whatever might happen.
Life Essentials is the result of years of safety and preparedness experience, training and study. Using that experience, and the latest information from FEMA, the American Red Cross, The Department of Home Land Security, and several additional qualified sources, we have created a process that will work with any size business, to put an effective emergency/disaster and recovery plan in place. The process works for a company with 10 employees or 2000 employees; the process works the same.

Looking to go up to Steamboat this weekend for some riding if the trails are still in OK shape. With the snow that came thru last weekend, wasnt sure if it had melted off the same as it has on the Front Range.
Anyone in Steamboat have some trail updates on Howelsen Hill or over the Ridge Trail side? Much appreciated.

Well my resolution of starting a blog and sticking with it….it didn't work out so well. As my dad likes to say "Life is the shit that happens when you're making plans".
Classes started. Along with a new relationship. And stress. And lack of sleep.
I did stick to my resolution to go to the gym more, but it just seems like I couldn't balance all of those things on top of a blog as well. I never started this to be famous (like many young 20-Somethings do), or really to take it seriously. I wanted it to be an outlet for the thoughts about fashion and food and a multitude of other random-ness that flits throughout my mind. Balance and I are close friends, but sometimes we have fights. Sometimes I have to choose what is most important to me. A blog just for fun, or spending the weekend with le boy (obviously I've chosen the latter).
I'm constantly torn between my love of technology and my generation's attachment to it. While I love scouring the internet for recipes or pictures of cute bar carts, I'd much rather be out on a brewery tour, or a walk in the park. The worst part of my attachment to technology is that for school I HAVE to be attached. My classes are all online and so I spend a large chunk of my free time reading online articles, posting for discussion boards and checking my email. At the end of the day the last thing I want to do is spend more time on my laptop blogging, after being on it all day for class.
So this is less of an apology to those of you that might follow me, and more of a diary entry about my current love/hate relationship with technology. I will admit it bother me though, not being punctual and consistent. I liked the thought of being regular with my posts but I've also learned through this, that sometimes it's okay to let things go. To adjust and make room for different priorities that come along.
So when this popped up on Pinterest the other day, the words really spoke to me.
I spent so much of college focusing on getting good grades, and looking for a job, trying to plan and worry and stress over the future. I was one of those people with a five-year plan. I had checklists. It wasn't until I joined my sorority that I started to loosen up, and even then it was hard for me sometimes. My senior year was filled with anxiety, panic attacks and fear. I had a career crisis. The plan was ceremonially burned.
Through this I have learned to let it go. To live life not for the numbers. Not for the GPA. Not the weight on the scale. Not for all those silly articles about what "You ABSOLUTELY MUST MUST MUST Do In Your 20's OR YOU WILL SERIOUSLY REGRET IT!!" (if you couldn't tell I'm not a huge fan of those articles). I'm not saying throw the "plan" out the window, because of course it's always nice to have a general idea where you are going to be career wise, but it's also a great feeling to just take it one step at a time.
And most importantly step away from the screens every once in a while!
xoxo B

Vacation with my dad June 15, 2008Posted by Anders in Baseball, Cleveland Indians, Exchange student, Exchangeprogram, Hostfamily, Niagara Falls, USA.
My dad is going home tomorrow, and it has been a quite busy week. We didn't have enough time at all, and with me being bit by a dog the second day he is here, we have gone through a lot. Especially because the dog didn't have its vaccinations in place, and we were worried sick that I might had rabies (hundegalskab). The family who owned the dog had already put it to sleep, and the vet had harvested some brain tissue, so they could test the dog for rabies. Luckily the dog didn't have rabies, so I didn't need to go through the extremely painful rabies shots.
We also showed my dad the Niagara Falls. We were supposed to arrive there at 4 pm, but for some reason we got there at 10 pm. As soon as we got out of the car, it started to rain really bad, though, and we all got soaked. It quickly stopped raining, though, and we took some more pictures of it. Then it started raining badly again, and we decided to go to the car. We were on the Canada side of the Falls, so afterwards we went up to the sparkling tourist city right next to the falls, and spent a couple of hours up there before we went home.
My family also had a big surprise for me. They actually took me to see a Cleveland Indians Baseball game. I was so happy to see them for real, and I had a really good time. I was the only one who knew what was going on, since nobody else knew much about baseball, but they were happy that I had a good time. I was really getting into the game too, even though they lost, but that's okay, it was a pretty eventful game anyway. Especially when Grady Sizemore scored a Homerun and everyone was on their feet, including me.
I hope my dad had a good vacation here, I certainly enjoyed having him here!

Always good to read about baseball and its players, I've played since a kid..
Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
