GM expects Volt probe to end soon
DETROIT, Jan 9 - General Motors Co expects to have federal safety officials resolve their investigation of delayed fires in the Chevrolet Volt electric car sooner rather than later, a top executive said on Monday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a probe of the Volt's battery pack in November after fires in the vehicle's battery occurred days after the car was involved in federal safety tests last year.
NHTSA administrator David Strickland said on Sunday he was comfortable with GM's proposed fix for the problem, but their investigation has not been closed. He added he hoped the investigation would be concluded soon.
We're very optimistic with NHTSA, based on the feedback we've gotten, GM's global product development chief Mary Barra told Reuters at the Detroit auto show.
While Barra said she did not know exactly when federal officials would close the probe, she added: We're a short time frame, not an extended, protracted period away from a resolution.
Last week, GM said it had developed a fix for the Volt that would better protect the vehicle's 400-pound lithium ion battery by adding steel reinforcements and taking other steps to prevent coolant fluid from leaking and triggering a fire.
GM previously said it had shared its engineering and test results with NHTSA and was optimistic its proposed fix would allow the U.S. safety agency to close its investigation.
GM has said it would begin making the repairs at Chevy dealerships in February. The automaker has sold about 8,000 Volts in the United States, just over half of the target it had set for the past year.
A relatively quick solution to the Volt safety issue would mean that GM could avoid a time-consuming and costly distraction and a recall of a key halo vehicle.
GM has made the Volt the symbol of its determination to seize a leadership position in fuel economy and green technology and its engineers have been racing to respond to a safety investigation by U.S. regulators since late last year.
GM's Chief Executive Dan Akerson said on Sunday at a different event that the company may have to adjust production rates for the Volt.
We're going to match production with demand, Akerson said when asked about meeting Volt sales targets. There are new variables in the equation, so we'll see. We've been responsive to our customers' needs, and, at the end of the day, that will serve us well.
The Volt's battery is designed to provide a range of about 40 miles on electric power. The plug-in hybrid also has a gasoline-powered 1.4-liter engine to provide additional range after the battery has been drawn down.
The plug-in hybrid costs $40,000 before a $7,500 federal tax credit in the United States.
Barra said on Monday the same technology will be used in Volt's next couple model years, but future models would try to cut costs on the battery so changes were likely, just not for technical reasons. We're very confident in our cells, she said. We're also very confident in the cooling system for the battery. (Reporting by Ben Klayman, editing by Maureen Bavdek)

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Fish rubbing themselves on the substrate
Fish rubbing themselves on the substrate Hi guys, i have a 3ft tank with a peacock eel and 2 pakistani loaches and 2 hillstream loaches water parameters Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrite 5 temp 24 degrees I noticed last week that the pakistani loaches were rubbing on the substrate and rock and turning on their sides. I immediately did a water change and put in some general parasite medication in and see what would happen over the week. They seemed to be worse today and yesterday rubbing more often. None of the other fish seem to be sick or anything except for the pakistani loaches. I am worried about my peacock eel as well as he is also has no scales and could be sick but seems fine at this moment please help cheers brad |
It sounds like white spot (itch) to me. Often people use salt to treat this but I've had no sucess with it and you have to be very careful using salt with scaless fish. I used protazin and it worked a treat, it' also safe for scaless at a lower dose (which is explained on the packet) and I have also heard great things about Formalin. Before you medicate, if this is indeed what you have, do a thorough gravel vac and a water change, and riase the temperature a few degrees (thoguh sicne you have hillstream loaches you'll need to decide if you can do this or not as I know they need cooler temps that most fish). Good luck. |
Unless the fish show smallish white spots, I don't believe that ich is the problem. Many fish, particularly African cichlids, exemplify this type of behavior, called "flashing". I don't know that I would add salt or any meds as of yet. The problem could be one of many, parasites, the onset of bacterial or viral infection, or some other malady due to water conditions or quality. It is good that you did the water change, that can never hurt. I would just keep a weary eye on the situation and look for anything out of the ordinary. |
But herefishy is right - don't add any medications yet. I meant to add this actually but it's best not to medicate until you know 100% what you have. |
I think he just has an itch lol |

Smith Field 1 LMU Drive Los Angeles, CA 90045 Phone: 310-338-LION Directions Sports: Softball Opened: 2006 Capacity: 500 Key Notes: Team won PCSC title in 2007 on Smith Field LINKS: Buy Tickets Gameday Central Building Champions The Roar History Team LMU & Sponsorships Facilities Home Page |
For the Mike and Patty Smith Family, Loyola Marymount University is more than just an alma mater. It has been a way of life and they wanted to give back. They did just that and the LMU softball team earned a new home in Smith Field when the field was dedicated in January of 2006.
Thanks to a gift from the Smith Family, one of the top softball fields on the West Coast is now home to the Lions. The unique softball diamond is another piece of the Smith Family's tie to LMU. Mike graduated in 1966 with a Bachelor of Arts. Patty also came back to school after 30 years and finished her degree in 1998-99. And just like their parents, their three daughters also earned degrees at LMU.
"We just wanted to give back to the University," said Mike. "This is the first time we have made a major gift and we wanted it to be to athletics. I loved my time at Loyola and what the institution did for me. Each of our three daughters all had different but positive experiences at LMU. The best thing that can be said about LMU is that our daughters each said if they had to do it again they would chose LMU every time." The Smith's also have three sons, who went to Fairfield, Santa Clara and UCLA.
The new Smith Field is as unique as the family's college experience as the ballpark will combine state-of-the-art with a park-like atmosphere. Smith Field is in a similar location than the original ball field but flipped so that home plate is in the northwest corner.
"People ask us why athletics," said Mike. "We grew up playing sports and enjoy them. But more importantly we love Bill Husak (Athletics Director) and the team that surrounds him. They are doing some amazing things. We have donated some small things in the past and now this gift. It has been really fun to give something that seems to be so appreciated. Because of that attitude, We support what athletics is doing. They have made this period of time very enjoyable."
For the project to get started, nearly 3,500 yards of dirt had to be moved and relocated to build the mounds for the seating areas. That amount of dirt is equivalent to 350 dump trucks. They started by making a mound of dirt for the third base side seating area, which sits more than 10 feet above the field surface. The seating are tiers climbing from the top of the recessed dugouts to the point 10-feet above the playing surface.
The dugouts are professional grade and sit two-feet below the surface. The dimensions of the park are 200-feet in left and right field and 215 feet in dead center. The outfield fence stands four-feet high with a grass slope climbing behind for additional lawn seating.
Behind the dugouts on both the left and right field lines are two bullpens consisting of two pitching mounds and plates. Behind home plate is a 35-foot high net backstop. The final piece is a state-of-the-art scoreboard complete with line score, balls, strikes and outs. Also included in the project behind centerfield is a batting cage.
Smith Field has been an advantage for the Lions. Through nine season, LMU has won better than 68 percent of its games at Smith, including 19 wins in 2010. The Lions are 143-67 all-time at Smith heading into the 2015 season, winning a school-record 26 home games in 2007.

A Good American by Alex George
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Amy Einhorn Books
Publication Date: 2012
Pages: 381
Source: Copy provided by the publisher
The Short Version:
A completely charming and enchanting family saga full of characters whose stories will wrap themselves around your heart.
Why I Read It:
When I got the email from a publicist telling me about this book it took me only a few seconds to say yes. Then when it arrived I loved the cover and the look of the book. I was almost afraid to read it because of high expectations but I was not disappointed at all.
The Book:
When a book is complex I tend to default to the publisher's synopsis out of fear of my own attempt spinning out of control or giving away too much.
It is 1904. When Frederick and Jette must flee her disapproving mother, where better to go than America, the land of the new? Originally set to board a boat to New York, at the last minute, they take one destined for New Orleans instead ("What's the difference? They're both new"), and later find themselves, more by chance than by design, in the small town of Beatrice, Missouri. Not speaking a word of English, they embark on their new life together.
Beatrice is populated with unforgettable characters: a jazz trumpeter from the Big Easy who cooks a mean gumbo, a teenage boy trapped in the body of a giant, a pretty schoolteacher who helps the young men in town learn about a lot more than just music, a minister who believes he has witnessed the Second Coming of Christ, and a malevolent, bicycle-riding dwarf.
A Good American is narrated by Frederick and Jette's grandson, James, who, in telling his ancestors' story, comes to realize he doesn't know his own story at all. From bare-knuckle prizefighting and Prohibition to sweet barbershop harmonies, the Kennedy assassination, and beyond, James's family is caught up in the sweep of history. Each new generation discovers afresh what it means to be an American. And, in the process, Frederick and Jette's progeny sometimes discover more about themselves than they had bargained for.
Poignant, funny, and heartbreaking, A Good American is a novel about being an outsider-in your country, in your hometown, and sometimes even in your own family. It is a universal story about our search for home.
My Thoughts:
Go. Now. Get this book and read it. Then pass it along to your best friend or better yet a family member.
This book completely charmed me within the first couple of chapters. I was glad I read it on a long plane ride so that I didn't have to take many breaks in the first half. I love big multigenerational family sagas and this is one of the best I've read in ages. It spans four generations without ever becoming too long and drawn out. There is humor, sadness, love, anger, joy and always there is music.
Music is what brings Frederick and Jette together and music is an element that lives on in their family. The path that leads Frederick and Jette to Beatrice is one full of coincidences and fate that leads this young couple to the place their family will call home. As much as some of their descendents want to escape Beatrice, it continues to call them home.
Some of the characters that become part of the family history are a little bit beyond quirky but George makes it all work. It's a story of a family and a story of America through much of the 20th century. It's the story of the immigrants that populated this country and became the definition of A Good American.

The Zend_InfoCard
component implements relying-party
support for Information Cards. Information Cards are used for identity
management on the internet and authentication of users to web sites. The web sites
that the user ultimately authenticates to are called relying-parties.
Detailed information about information cards and their importance to the internet identity metasystem can be found on the » IdentityBlog.
Usage of Zend_InfoCard
can be done one of two ways:
either as part of the larger Zend_Auth
component via
the Zend_InfoCard
authentication adapter or as a
stand-alone component. In both cases an information card can be
requested from a user by using the following HTML block in your
HTML login form:
In the example above, the requiredClaims
tag is used to identify pieces of
information known as claims (i.e. person's first name, last name)
which the web site (a.k.a "relying party") needs in order a user to
authenticate using an information card. For your reference, the full
URI (for instance the givenname
claim) is as follows:
When the above HTML is activated by a user (clicks on it), the
browser will bring up a card selection program which not only shows
them which information cards meet the requirements of the site, but
also allows them to select which information card to use if multiple
meet the criteria. This information card is transmitted as an XML
document to the specified POST URL and is ready to be
processed by the Zend_InfoCard
Note, Information cards can only be HTTP POST
ed to
SSL-encrypted URLs. Please consult your web
server's documentation on how to set up SSL encryption.
In order to use the component as part of the Zend_Auth
authentication system, you must use the provided
to do so (not available in
the standalone Zend_InfoCard
distribution). An example
of its usage is shown below:
addCertificatePair('/usr/local/Zend/apache2/conf/server.key', '/usr/local/Zend/apache2/conf/server.crt'); $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance(); $result = $auth->authenticate($adapter); switch ($result->getCode()) { case Zend_Auth_Result::SUCCESS: $claims = $result->getIdentity(); print "Given Name: {$claims->givenname}
"; print "Surname: {$claims->surname}
"; print "Email Address: {$claims->emailaddress}
"; print "PPI: {$claims->getCardID()}
"; break; case Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE_CREDENTIAL_INVALID: print "The Credential you provided did not pass validation"; break; default: case Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE: print "There was an error processing your credentials."; break; } if (count($result->getMessages()) > 0) { print ""; var_dump($result->getMessages()); print ""; } } ?>
Simple Login Demo
In the example above, we first create an instance of the
and pass the XML
data posted by the card selector into it. Once an instance has been created you
must then provide at least one SSL certificate public/private key
pair used by the web server that received the HTTP
. These files are used to validate the destination
of the information posted to the server and are a requirement when
using Information Cards.
Once the adapter has been configured, you can then use the standard
facilities to validate the provided
information card token and authenticate the user by examining the
identity provided by the getIdentity() method.
It is also possible to use the Zend_InfoCard
component as a
standalone component by interacting with the
class directly. Using the
class is very similar to its use with the
component. An example of its use is shown below:
addCertificatePair('/usr/local/Zend/apache2/conf/server.key', '/usr/local/Zend/apache2/conf/server.crt'); $claims = $infocard->process($_POST['xmlToken']); if($claims->isValid()) { print "Given Name: {$claims->givenname}
"; print "Surname: {$claims->surname}
"; print "Email Address: {$claims->emailaddress}
"; print "PPI: {$claims->getCardID()}
"; } else { print "Error Validating identity: {$claims->getErrorMsg()}"; } } ?>
Simple Login Demo
In the example above, we use the Zend_InfoCard
independently to validate the token provided by the user. As was the
case with the Zend_Auth_Adapter_InfoCard
, we create an
instance of Zend_InfoCard
and then set one or more
SSL certificate public/private key pairs used by the web server. Once
configured, we can use the process() method to process
the information card and return the results.
Regardless of whether the Zend_InfoCard
component is used as
a standalone component or as part of Zend_Auth
, the ultimate
result of the processing of an information card is a
object. This object contains the
assertions (a.k.a. claims) made by the submitting user based on the
data requested by your web site when the user authenticated. As
shown in the examples above, the validity of the information card
can be ascertained by calling the
Zend_InfoCard_Claims::isValid() method. Claims
themselves can either be retrieved by simply accessing the
identifier desired (i.e. givenname
) as a property of
the object or through the getClaim() method.
In most cases you will never need to use the getClaim()
method. However, if your requiredClaims
mandate that
you request claims from multiple different sources/namespaces then
you will need to extract them explicitly using this method (simply
pass it the full URI of the claim to retrieve its value from within
the information card). Generally speaking however, the
component will set the default
URI for claims to be the one used the most frequently within the
information card itself and the simplified property-access method can be used.
As part of the validation process, it is the developer's responsibility to
examine the issuing source of the claims contained within the
information card and to decide if that source is a trusted source of
information. To do so, the getIssuer() method is
provided within the Zend_InfoCard_Claims
object which
returns the URI of the issuer of the information card claims.
It is possible to add support for information cards to an existing
authentication system by storing the private personal identifier
(PPI) to a previously traditionally-authenticated account and
including at least the
claim as part of the requiredClaims
of the request. If
this claim is requested then the Zend_InfoCard_Claims
object will provide a unique identifier for the specific card that
was submitted by calling the getCardID() method.
An example of how to attach an information card to an existing traditional-authentication account is shown below:
// ... public function submitinfocardAction() { if (!isset($_REQUEST['xmlToken'])) { throw new ZBlog_Exception('Expected an encrypted token ' . 'but was not provided'); } $infoCard = new Zend_InfoCard(); $infoCard->addCertificatePair(SSL_CERTIFICATE_PRIVATE, SSL_CERTIFICATE_PUB); try { $claims = $infoCard->process($request['xmlToken']); } catch(Zend_InfoCard_Exception $e) { // TODO Error processing your request throw $e; } if ($claims->isValid()) { $db = ZBlog_Data::getAdapter(); $ppi = $db->quote($claims->getCardID()); $fullname = $db->quote("{$claims->givenname} {$claims->surname}"); $query = "UPDATE blogusers SET ppi = $ppi, real_name = $fullname WHERE username='administrator'"; try { $db->query($query); } catch(Exception $e) { // TODO Failed to store in DB } $this->view->render(); return; } else { throw new ZBlog_Exception("Infomation card failed security checks"); } }
The Zend_InfoCard
component was designed to allow for
growth in the information card standard through the use of a modular
architecture. At this time, many of these hooks are unused and can be
ignored, but there is one class that should be written for
any serious information card implementation: the
The Zend_InfoCard
adapter is used as a callback
mechanism within the component to perform various tasks, such as
storing and retrieving Assertion IDs for information cards when they
are processed by the component. While storing the assertion IDs of
submitted information cards is not necessary, failing to do so opens
up the possibility of the authentication scheme being compromised
through a replay attack.
To prevent this, one must implement the
and set an
instance of this interface prior to calling either the
process() (standalone) or
authenticate() method as a Zend_Auth
adapter. To set this interface, the setAdapter() method should
be used. In the example below, we set a Zend_InfoCard
adapter and
use it in our application:
class myAdapter implements Zend_InfoCard_Adapter_Interface { public function storeAssertion($assertionURI, $assertionID, $conditions) { /* Store the assertion and its conditions by ID and URI */ } public function retrieveAssertion($assertionURI, $assertionID) { /* Retrieve the assertion by URI and ID */ } public function removeAssertion($assertionURI, $assertionID) { /* Delete a given assertion by URI/ID */ } } $adapter = new myAdapter(); $infoCard = new Zend_InfoCard(); $infoCard->addCertificatePair(SSL_PRIVATE, SSL_PUB); $infoCard->setAdapter($adapter); $claims = $infoCard->process($_POST['xmlToken']);

FTC recovers over $500 million from "get rich" and "lose weight in 3 minute abs workout" scammers
Kudos to the consumer enforcers over at the Federal Trade Commission. Today they announced a $25 million settlement (including consumer refunds) with the marketers of the Ab Circle Pro, an exercise machine that promised you could lose weight and get ripped abs in "just 3 minutes a day." According to the FTC, a settling defendant, "pitchwoman Jennifer Nicole Lee, compared the Ab Circle Pro to a gym workout, saying, 'You can either do 30 minutes of abs and cardio or just three minutes a day. The choice is yours.'" There are several defendants including defendant Lee (who herself does not owe penalties). The bulk of the penalties and refunds will be paid by the Reader's Digest Association, which owns several of the co-defendant firms that actually marketed the products. Here's a link to a short Consumer Reports Magazine Youtube video explaining that: "No, this thing doesn't really work unless you also actually exercise and diet, too, and the TV ads are full of teeny disclaimers." Consumers, here is a link to the FTC's Ab Circle Pro refund claims page.
Also today, a federal judge has approved a "record" $478 million settlement in the FTC's case against a "get rich quick" infomercial and telemarketing king, John Beck, and various related firms and persons for "deceiving close to one million consumers with phony claims [..] of easy money." "The Order also imposes a lifetime ban that puts three of the defendants permanently out of the infomercial and telemarketing businesses." In addition to selling a variety of real estate and other schemes under various names for an entry price of $39.95, the "defendants sold personal coaching services, which cost up to $14,995, to consumers who purchased any of the three systems."
All in all, a very good day for the FTC and for the consumers it protects.

Vendee Globe - 1130 - 6/12/00
Wednesday December 6th 2000, Author: Mark Chisnell, Location: United Kingdom
More relevant is how they are positioned for the next change in the weather. Looking at the above image, we can see how the high pressure is still stalking the fleet. At the moment, most of the leading pack are all riding happily on the south-westerlies on its leading edge.
But this system is set to move east quite quickly, by mid-afternoon on the 6/12/00 it wil be centred over their 0500 position on the same day. The front three definitely look safe, and these Open 60s should be quick enough for the top ten to outrun the centre and stay in decent breeze. But this would be a bad time to have a breakdown and have to stop. Then it will be a case of the devil taking the hindmost - a small loss from the breakdown will turn into a big loss from getting stuck in the honey trap of the high.
From the evening of the 6/12/00 onwards, this high is forecast to move more north-east, until it once again becomes subsumed by the main South Atlantic High, and at that point the boats in the south should be able to relax. But those in the north - particularly Catherine Chabaud, and to a much lesser extent Marc Thiercelin - should be afraid, very afraid. Catherine Chabaud's plummet down the rankings may not be over yet.

See whats what.
Rice is known to have too little iron and vitamin A. In regions of the world in which humans depend almost exclusively on rice for their nourishment, deficiency in vitamin A is widespread. Insufficient vitamin A leads to vision problems and, in severe cases, blindness. Even more importantly, it is estimated that approximately 1.15 million deaths each year are related directly or indirectly to the variety of health problems caused by this deficiency. Ingo Potrykus, Prof. em., ETH Zurich and Peter Beyer at Campus Technologies in Freiburg (CTF), Germany, succeeded in 2000 in creating a rice cultivar that offers a metabolic precursor to vitamin A known as beta-carotene. Due to its yellow colour, his cultivar quickly was christened Golden Rice. However, critics disputed the potential of Golden Rice to fight the widespread vitamin A deficiency in developing countries, arguing that one would have to eat several kilograms of rice per day to achieve any positive effect. Recent pre-studies tell a different story. See also on GMO-Compass: |

Darden Restaurants wants to set Red Lobster adrift.
The company said Thursday that it is looking to either spin off or sell Red Lobster as part of its plan to boost value for its shareholders. Those plans also include suspending the opening of new Olive Garden locations and limit the opening of new LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants.
Darden Restaurants Inc. has also decided it won't make any acquisitions of additional brands "for the foreseeable future" and plans to review senior management's compensation and incentive programs so that there is more emphasis on same-store restaurant sales growth and free cash flow.
Its stock fell more than 4 percent in Thursday afternoon trading.
Red Lobster has 705 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada and is the biggest full service dining seafood specialty restaurant operator in North America. Its fiscal 2013 sales were about $2.6 billion.
Restaurant chains such as Olive Garden and Red Lobster have suffered since the downturn, with people being more careful about their spending. People are also increasingly heading to chains such as Chipotle, where it tends to cost less and take less time than a sit-down meal at a restaurant.
Darden Chairman and CEO Clarence Otis said during a conference call on Thursday that it had been considering its options for Red Lobster for some time and shareholders wanted changes.
In September investment firm Barington Capital LP, which represents a group that owns more than 2 percent of Darden's stock, recommended that Darden consider splitting into two separate companies, with one company housing Olive Garden and Red Lobster and the other its remaining brands. Barington made the contents of the proposal public in October.
Otis said that Red Lobster has been unable to capture high-income customers as much as its other brands have. A separation will give Red Lobster the opportunity to focus more on its core audience, he said.
Otis also said changing market conditions prompted action. He noted that there is significant change occurring in the restaurant sector, "with relatively low levels of consumer demand in each of the past several years for restaurants generally, and for casual dining in particular, as well as additional unexpected softness since June."
Darden anticipates that after separating from Red Lobster it will be able to report higher and more consistent same-restaurant sales, new restaurant sales growth and increased and more consistent earnings per share growth. It expects to use proceeds from new debt raised at the separated Red Lobster to retire part of Darden's debt.
Darden expects that after the separation, Red Lobster will likely report low single-digit revenue growth driven by modestly higher same-restaurant sales.
The company anticipates that its cost-cutting efforts will bring about at least $60 million in annual savings starting in fiscal 2015. This is up from the $50 million in savings it previously predicted. Darden said it will use the increase in cash flow from lowering capital spending and operating support expenses for dividends, stock buybacks and to help strengthen its credit profile.
Sara Senatore of Bernstein Research said in a client note that the planned Red Lobster separation and other potential actions are a step in the right direction, but may result in only modest changes in performance. She reaffirmed a "Market Perform" rating.
Sterne, Agee & Leach's Lynne Collier is encouraged by the Red Lobster plans, saying the brand has been a drag on Darden's performance for the past several years. The analyst kept a "Buy" rating for Darden.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said Thursday that it put Darden's ratings under review. The rating agency said that it will evaluate the financial impact of the transaction and financing details during the review process.
Darden named Kim Lopdrup, president of its specialty restaurant group and new business, to serve as Red Lobster's CEO after the separation. Harland Herrmann, president of Yard House, will become president of the specialty restaurant group in January. Red Lobster President Salli Setta will remain in that position. If Red Lobster is spun off, Darden Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Brad Richmond will become chief financial and administrative officer for Red Lobster once the transaction is complete. Darden said it's started the process of identifying its board and a possible successor for Richmond.

Drug Effect and Diuretic01/13/2011 |
Hi experts, I wonder if the effect of medicine can be reduced by the use of diuretic medicine. From what my friends and I experience, we notice that we feel relieved from alcohol intoxication if we pee. The quicker and more frequently we pee, the longer we can stand the intoxication. from this, are there any medicines whose effect is reduced quickly from the body by diuretics medicines?
Alcohol actually acts as a diuretic in your body, enhancing water excretion. While diuretics may impact the body's ability to eliminate medications, their main effect is to increase excretion of water. By taking alcohol while taking a diuretic, you are increasing your risk of becoming dehydrated while drinking. This can lead to electrolyte abnormalities, vitamin depletion, and the potential for heart arrhythmias. It will probably increase your chances of having a hangover, too.
