Pittsfield Couple Turn Old-Fashioned Cure-all Into Modern Business
Amy Huebner's brother, Brian Huebner, designed the label for the fiery product.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Dana St. Pierre likes to mix up concoctions.
When a small-town doctor suggested that he mix a potion of raw apple cider vinegar to cure bronchitis, he didn't know that nearly 15 years later it would be the start of a business. Nor did his wife, Amy Huebner, think it would actually sell.
But now a team of three are selling somewhere between 20 and 35 cases a week of the old-fashioned New England cure-all, Fire Cider, in more than 100 stores throughout the Northeast.
"It really helped him out and since then he has been tinkering with the recipe to make it more palatable," Huebner said of her husband. "We started making it for ourselves to stay healthy in the winter."
St. Pierre mixed the drink in mason jars for the couple's personal use and, in 2010, they took an array of items, including a batch of the Fire Cider, to sell at the Handmade Holiday Festival.
They were expecting handmade scented eye pillows to be the hit item but instead found themselves running around to get more sampling cups. They sold out of the cider.
"We figured we needed the extra money. We didn't think that it would sell more than anything else," St. Pierre said on Thursday. "We spent all of our money getting ready for it and we sold out. People were calling us the next day and we weren't ready for that."
That was when they decided to start the business, with Huebner's family as the initial investor.
"We got our family to invest a little bit of money so we didn't need to take a bank loan, which is really good," Huebner said.
St. Pierre, Huebner and her brother, Brian Huebner, became team Fire Cider in 2011, receiving their wholesale license in August of that year and renting an FDA-approved kitchen in Greenfield.
"Our first batch was three gallons of vinegar and that was a lot because I spent $50 on vinegar. If this didn't catch on, I would have had a lot of vinegar around the house," St. Pierre said, adding that now they use about 330 gallons per week.
Brian Huebner went from being asked to create the label to working full time making, selling and marketing the product.
"I started calling stores in the area and it just kind of snowballed from there," Brian Huebner said. But selling a raw vinegar concoction isn't an easy task so reeling in customers centers on getting them to try the drink. "The hardest part is getting people to try it. ... It pretty much sells itself."
The secret recipe includes a "synergistic blend of health enhancing, immune boosting, organic roots and fruits," according to the website, which includes recipes for its use in sauces, drinks, salad dressing and baked beans.
Fairs and festivals have become a big part of the company's growth. The group spends many weekends at events throughout New England and New York selling and providing samples at fairs. Recently, they spent two long days at the Big E in West Springfield.
Those efforts have paid off because the word of mouth has helped expand into stores. It can be found at a number of local co-op and health food markets, general stores, Dottie's on North Street, Lickety-Split in North Adams and Juice 'N' Java in Dalton.
"Most of the time people have heard about it or customers have told them about it," Brian Huebner said of the stores that now sell Fire Cider.
The business has begun to take over their Wendell Avenue home, where they do all the packaging and shipping and they hope to soon be able to move their office from their living room to another space.
But as a startup company, they have more work to do in order to turn a century-old cure-all into a modern money.
"Our aim is to get up to 50 cases a week so we can start paying ourselves," Amy Huebner said and later added, "this doesn't feel like selling. It feels like an extension of my health coaching ... We love it."

Pressure is mounting on the European Central Bank to fight off low inflation, but don\'t hold your breath for the policy decision later on Thursday.
Yes, inflation was at a four-year low in March, but at the same time, other macroeconomic indicators are confirming that the currency union is leaving the financial crisis in the shadows. PMIs are strong, unemployment is a bit lower than expected, and economic growth is picking up — even in some of the weaker euro-zone countries, such as Spain, where the government recently lifted its GDP forecast for 2014.
The $64,000 question ahead of Thursday\'s meeting is which way the ECB will lean when it makes its monetary-policy decision. Move to fight off low inflation? Or focus more on the upbeat data? Consensus is for no changes at all — as in no rate cut and no other easing action.
However, most economists have stressed that it\'s an extremely close call and it \"could be a boy or a girl\", as Mads Koefoed, head of macro strategy at Saxo Bank, put it. At Goldman Sachs, economist Sebastian Graves expects the Governing Council to ease policy modestly, with a small cut in rates and maybe some liquidity actions.
\"Such measures will be largely cosmetic from a macroeconomic perspective, but help to avoid giving the impression of an indifference to low-inflation outcomes and a lack of concrete action following much dovish rhetoric,\" he said in a note.
There\'s been lot of speculation recently about which tools the ECB has left — if any — to boost the euro-zone economy, and some are more straightforward than others. Here\'s a rundown of some of the possible outcomes at today\'s meeting:
No change: The most anticipated outcome and the decision that should result in the least drama for financial markets. ECB President Mario Draghi has on several occasions pointed out that there are no signs the euro area will fall into deflation, and he said at the March meeting that inflation should soon start to pick up again. That view was echoed by ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio, who said earlier this week that falling consumer prices are unlikely as the economic recovery absorbs spare capacity.
Additionally, macroeconomic data have broadly been favorable over the past month, which should outweigh deflation concerns and keep ECB policy makers in the \"no change\" camp, according to James Buckley, fund manager at Baring Asset Management.
Expect no major market reaction if this is the case, Buckley said. Instead investors will move on and focus more on the highly anticipated U.S. nonfarm-payrolls data out on Friday.
Rate cut: Not the consensus forecast, but nevertheless a possibility, as also highlighted by Goldman Sachs. Economists at Danske Bank are also leaning toward more easing, expecting a small cut in the refinancing rate to 0.15%. It currently stands at 0.25%, which is a record low.
If the ECB opts for a rate cut, bond yields are likely to move lower, while equity markets should move a leg higher. There\'s a caveat, though: with sovereign bond yields already low and European stock markets at multiyear highs, some of the easing excitement could already be factored into prices.
End the sterilization of SMP: This has been touted as a likely move before, but most economists doubt it\'ll happen at this point. By ending the so-called sterilization of bond purchases under the Securities Markets Program, the ECB would loosen lending conditions by effectively putting 175 billion euros in additional funds into the euro-zone financial system.
In fact, this move was highly anticipated ahead of the March meeting, but Draghi said at that press conference he \"didn't see any development in the money markets that would lead to that unwanted tightening of monetary conditions that would justify the use of this instrument.\"
Quantitative easing: The big bazooka. More and more people are speculating bond buying could be on the cards, after Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann last week radically softened his stance on the unconventional easing measure. Elisabet Kopelman, head of economic research at SEB, explained that money markets are already pricing in some sort of easing from the ECB, with QE one of the most likely options. The meeting on Thursday, however, seems a bit premature for the ECB to go bond shopping, she said.
Expect a rally in most risk assets if the central bank brings QE to the table already in April.
LTRO: The ECB can also choose to provide more liquidity to the banks through another round of long-term refinancing operations. Starting in late 2011, the ECB doled out more than €1 trillion in fixed-rate, three-year loans to hundreds of banks, reducing government-bond yields and helping commercial banks refinance hundreds of billions of euros worth of their own bonds in 2012.
But while this might seem like an appealing option ahead of current LTRO expirations in 2015, most economists deem a third round unlikely. Draghi recently said the funding situation for banks and governments has improved significantly, compared with late 2011.

If confirmed by the state Senate, Jeffrey Beard would bring a formidable background and germane experience to his new post as head of the state's Department of Corrections. Beard has served as a prison warden and spent nearly a decade in charge of the state prison system in Pennsylvania. Moreover, he's been an advocate of alternative sentencing and other innovative ideas to reduce prison populations and experiment with ways to cut down on recidivism, both of which are challenges facing California.
But just because Beard is a good choice for the job doesn't mean the job is going to be easy, even for him. The difficulties confronting California's prison system are enormous and consequential, with ramifications for the state budget and public safety. A few of the most pressing demands:
• Classifying inmates correctly. As California undertakes realignment — wherein the state is shifting responsibility for some lower-level offenders from prison to county jails and counties are moving some of their prisoners out of custody and onto probation — an essential safeguard is that inmates are properly classified.
That's key because it ensures that those released to lower-level institutions or turned over to probation departments are ones who pose relatively little threat to the public — those convicted of what are known as non-serious, nonsexual, nonviolent offenses. But that breaks down if California improperly classifies those inmates, as it occasionally has in the past. Failing to administer classification well could expose the public to risk and undermine political support for realignment.

Yeah, I also think the same way (whether or not Eris was serious).
Some things get ingrained in general speech to the point where if you get offended when someone's not referring directly to you you're gonna get offended a lot (unless you're an isolated sort).
In my parts of Australia we have a lovely saying 'Harden up [not quite, google it or something I guess, trying not to bug a 'civilised' authoritative person here]. Some of us are so sick of overly sensitive types that we'll purposely say things that'll mess with them (eg I'm white as snow and have a mate black as coal. He'll call me a racial slur for black person [see previous square brackets] and other such black names and I'll call him things directed at white people. We get a lot of funny reactions from it).
One thing in particular that pisses some of us off is that in Australia we hold different prejudices from America and some Americans go apeshit when one of our advertisements shows things they find racist that we don't. They actually felt a need to kill a KFC advert here just because it had black people in it or something.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After completing a tremendous 6-1 regular season and advancing to the final of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament, the MIT women's tennis team collected three first team all-conference nods while earning second team recognition at four more positions, as announced by the NEWMAC on Tuesday afternoon.
First team accolades went to senior Anastasia Vishnevetsky (Orange, Conn.) at third singles, sophomore Julia Hsu (Knoxville, Tenn.) at fourth singles and freshman Vynnie Kong (Cupertino, Calif.) in the number five position. Vishnevetsky and Kong completed perfect regular seasons in league play with Vishnevetsky compiling a 5-0 mark in the number three position and Kong going 7-0 against the rest of the league's number five players.
Freshman Juana Becerra (Bucaramanga, Colombia) was a second team all-conference honoree in the sixth singles position.
In doubles, the Cardinal and Gray swept all three second team selections. Vishnevetsky and sophomore Lauren Quisenberry (Corpus Christi, Texas) were tabbed a number one doubles and Hsu and freshman Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) garnered recognition at second doubles. Becerra and Kong rounded out the honorees at the number three doubles position.

Pat's Predictions - 2012 Microwave Forecast
1. GaN Switches and GaN MMICs experience significant growth in high power commercial markets and start in-roads into military market.
2. LTE continues to grow rapidly taking over the infrastructure market and people start talking about 5G.
3. Wideband RF devices start to replace multiple transmit chains in handsets.
4. Microwave based imaging solutions start to replace some X-ray based imaging in some medical applications.
5. NFC and mobile payments start to penetrate the handset market worldwide.
6. Internet connected homes start to be realized in mass with connected TVs, appliances, heating/cooling systems and security devices.
7. White space radio spectrum and cognitive devices start to be realized.
8. Test and measurement convergence continues at a rapid pace as suppliers combine multiple tests systems into a single box.
9. Modeling software becomes part of the test and measurement systems sell with combined offerings from multiple companies.
10. Addressing interference issues becomes the biggest problem in the cellular infrastructure market – compact filters (IC and miniature ceramic) are offered as possible solutions.
11. Radar sensors become an affordable option in some standard car models (instead of only premium brands such as Mercedes and Audi).
12. UAVs are the only bright spot for Defense spending as cuts are made in most other areas.
2011 Industry predictions and outcomes (let's see how I did last year):
1. Tunable devices and circuits like RF MEMS and switched capacitor banks will be adopted in cell phones and alleviate some of the antenna reception issues that plagued phones like the iPhone 4.
This started to happen to some extent but was limited so maybe this was half correct.
2. Smart Grid applications will take off this year with ISM and Zigbee wireless applications being widely implemented around the world.
While this was talked about a lot, I not sure it really took off so maybe in 2012.
3. LTE will dominate the 4G networks as it is implemented around the world and zooms past WiMAX in deployments.
This definitely happened in a big way as CTIA and MWC were dominated by LTE along with deployments worldwide.
4. Femtocells, WiFi and other shorter range wireless technologies will be implemented to get around cellular dead spots instead of just deploying more basestations to fill in coverage.
This occurred to some extent again, but not in a big way so only half credit.
5. Metamaterials will start to be used in real world devices for filters and other passive devices (maybe even radar cloaking for the military).
While there continues to be research in this area, it did not happen in any meaningful manner.
6. Adaptive/Cognitive radar and communication systems will go into real development programs.
There was some activity in this area but it was limited.
7. Millimeterwave frequency solutions will dominate the new backhaul and satellite communications deployments.
Same as above.
8. SOI and SOS based switches will start taking market share from the traditional dominant GaAs markets.
This started to occur as the Peregrine SOS switches have made in-roads and companies such as Skyworks and RFMD are now producing quality SOI switches which I expect to see more of this year.
9. The confusion of the definition of 4G technologies will continue while someone will define and start using the term 5G.
The confusion definitely continued but I never heard anyone mention 5G.
10. Microwave applications will see significant use in medical technologies to enhance cures for diseases such as cancer.
I keep hoping for this one to occur more than any other prediction, so I once again added a similar prediction this year but only limited progress has been made in microwave medical technology.
Let me know what you think will happen in 2012.

Do-It-Yourself M2M in Your Home
Twine is a wireless module tightly integrated with a cloud-based service. The module has WiFi, on-board temperature and vibration sensors, and an expansion connector for other sensors. Power is supplied by the on-board mini USB or two AAA batteries (and Twine will email you when you need to change the batteries).
For $99 to support the project development, you can monitor temperature and motion with one module and receive a text message, Twitter or e-mail if the conditions you set are exceeded. There is a simple web interface to setup the module and conditions of your choice with each sensor. The WiFi module comes with a built-in temperature and accelerometer and you can add other external sensors for things such as moisture, magnetic switch, etc. which you can add via an external connector board.
Applications include sensing water in your basement, opening of doors, washer/dryer is finished, etc. They have already exceeded their funding goal by a huge margin but you can order the various configurations on the KickStarter website for delivery in March of 2012.
MIT Camera Captures One Trillion Frames per Second
A team of researchers over at MIT might have just broken a new record. They've created "the world's slowest fastest camera," which is able to shoot one trillion frames per second. To put the speed into perspective: one trillion seconds is over 31,688 years. If you then take one second of footage on this camera, and played it back at 30 fps, it would still take you over 1,000 years to watch it, according to Wired.com. (If you decide to host that sort of movie night, please don't invite us over.)
Led by Ramesh Raskar, an associate professor at the MIT Media Lab, the team relied on this new technology called a "streak camera," which, essentially, has a slit so narrow that only a thin slice of laser light can be seen at one time, according to ExtremeTech. The laser pulses are then picked up by an array of 500 sensors in the camera, and, with the use of mirrors, the camera's angle of view is changed over time until each of these one-dimensional slices can be built up into a complete 2D image.
Good Idea: USB Wall Outlets
The Quattro (patent pending) is the first product in the industry that replaces a standard electrical wall outlet with four powerful USB charging ports. The Quattro's four USB ports deliver a combined output of 22Watts, making the Quattro the most powerful in-wall charging solution available anywhere. The Quattro also features an innovative (patent pending) tamper-resistant door that when closed completely eliminates standby power, also known as vampire power. The Quattro has the ability to replace four bulky USB AC adapters with one wall outlet.
The Duo (patent pending) features two powerful in-wall USB charging ports delivering 16Watts of output power from a standard 110V wall outlet. The Duo's advanced power management design gives the consumer a total of four charging solutions, two USB charging ports and two standard US/CAN sockets from a single wall outlet. This makes the Duo the second most powerful in-wall charging solution available in the market today, surpassed only by the Quattro. The Duo supports 15Amp and 20Amp wall receptacles.
The Quattro and Duo USB Wall Outlets, with their energy-saving design, are ideal for both commercial and residential applications. They are powerful enough to provide the fastest charge available to even the most power-hungry portable devices, such as Apple's iPad® and iPhone® as well as Android® smartphones and tablets. The Quattro and Duo outlets are designed to maximize charging power and wall outlet space available for charging, while eliminating unnecessary charging wall clutter.
The Current Werks USB wall outlets are priced at $39.98 for the Quattro and $24.98 for the Duo

Growth in Printed Electronics
At end of November, IDTechEx held the world's largest printed electronics and photovoltaics conference and tradeshow in Silicon Valley at the Santa Clara Convention Center. This show brought together more than 1300 attendees from 28 countries. Players active across the entire value chain were present; covering the full range from research organisations to end-users, and from small start-ups to multi-billion internationals.
Mr Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx, opened the show with his keynote speech, arguing that there lies a great untapped market opportunity in offering final integrated products. Indeed, product integrators are in the privileged position of being able to cherry pick the best materials from an ever expanding range of options. This conclusion is supported by IDTechEx statistics showing that 97% of all companies profiled are currently offering only materials and/or components, and not final products. Therefore, IDTechEx is excited to see the printed electronics world evolve towards its next step, which will witness more and more final solutions and/or products appearing on the market.
New printed electronics products
Indeed, things are already moving quickly, as testified by a range of end-user companies including Proctor and Gamble (P&G), MWV Packaging, Boeing, Decathlon SA and more. A notable example was from P&G, the world's largest consumer packaged goods company with sales of more than $80 billion, which unveiled a decorative tissue box featuring an electroluminescent (EL) display. Here the product consisted of two parts: an interchangeable tissue box featuring the display and a fixed base providing the circuitry and power required to drive the EL display. This will be in stores this season. Also interesting was the novel anti-theft packaging produced by MWV Packaging in collaboration with Vorbeck. This product, which won IDTechEx's Best Product Development award, features a low-cost printed flexible graphene conducting layer and will be used in Home Depot stores in 2012.
Boeing discussed their current use of printed electronics as a bird strike detector in aircraft.
Rollable Displays
System and device manufacturers also presented their latest progress. PolymerVision showcased their truly rollable display capable of showing animated images. This is good news for printed electronics as flexible displays could provide a platform for a plethora of printed components, enabling large new markets. These include flexible Indium Thin Oxide (ITO) replacement, printed thin film transistors (TFTs), printed OLEDs, etc. However, replacing vacuum processed devices still remains ambitious, not least because printed TFTs will struggle in the near future to match the performance of the mature organic and the emerging metal oxide TFT technologies. For more information on Thin Film Transistors read the report from IDTechEx; "Printed and Thin Film Transistors and Memory 2011-2021" www.IDTechEx.com/tftc.
Sensor Technologies
Printed sensors and actuators are also showing very promising signs of rapid improvement. PST Sensors offered a printed silicon-based temperature sensor that could be employed as a touch screen. Peratech offered a quantum-tunnelling ink that would change its conductivity by as much as 16 orders of magnitude when pressed with a finger! The Peratech ink can be formulated in opaque, translucent and transparent formats. This technology, which won IDTechEx's Best Commercialisation Award, could extend touch screen capability to a vast array of substrates and products. Artificial Muscle, Inc showcased their morphiepulseTM technology in the "Demonstration Street" area. This technology can bring a high definition feel to touch screens by printing voltage-controlled actuators. This means that touch screens can respond back to users in a fun and intelligent way, giving rise to different vibration modes for different events.
Conductive Inks
A large variety of different conductive inks were also on show. The inks were differentiated on the basis of their conductivity and price. Nanoparticle inks (Nanogap, Nanomas, Intrinsiq, PChem, Applied Nanotech etc) claimed the higher conductivity ground with higher cost. Traditional flake-based polymer thick films (Dupont, Dow International, etc) offered low-cost and familiarity, but that came at the expense of conductivity at the same temperature. All have an opportunity depending on the application. Copper oxide nanoparticles (Novacentrix) offered truly low-cost inks suitable for high-volume applications such RFID tags, but mandate the use of special equipment to provide high-intensity light pulses. Graphene inks (Vorbeck) were also presented, plugging a gap in the market which requires low cost, moderate conductivity and flexibility.
ITO replacements
Conductive inks offering high levels of optical transparency are also becoming a viable ITO replacement option. Most notably, Cambrios announced that their silver nanowire inks are now in hundreds of thousands of Samsung cell phones. This represents a significant endorsement of their technology and a clear leapfrog towards capturing a portion of the $3 billion ITO market. Moreover, Evonik brought an exciting nanoparticle ITO ink to the play that could be printed only where needed thus doing away with the subtractive and wasteful sputter-etch process predominantly used today.
There is currently no one-size-fits-all solution on the conductive ink market. They are a variety of technologies, each sitting in its own niche based on its own attributes. Breaking into mature multibillion dollar markets traditionally served by polymer thick films is one strategy - the other is to deploy the new functionality (such as better conductors on flexible substrates) to do new things. This however still remains a challenge.
While such presentations bear testimony that printed electronics is indeed fast making significant progress and inroads into markets, they also highlight critical challenges that lie ahead. From the end user prospective, these include the fact that the current state of the market largely requires them to take on the challenge of product design and integration. And from the prospective of material/component providers, these include the delay in the realisation of high-volume markets that would enable printed electronics to realise its ultimate promise of being truly low cost.

The After Story Epilogue was recently released and the manga is officially finished...or is it?
Personally, i think it's done but hey, you never know. I saw the raws for the Epilogue and it seemed pretty conclusive based on the events that took place. So what are you guys' thoughts on the manga series as a whole and would like to see more? Discuss!
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
I would really like to see if this does some to fruition. I think that the series that has been completed was done in good form, but I think that there could be a little more on the character development as well as the supporting cast development.
But, I would also like to see how Tsukune and Moka develop their relationship with each other as well.
All codes claimed - Thanks
so what happed to 'good' moka?
wasting away on the sidonia
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
Inner Moka was better anyway, but Mizore is still best girl.
I think it ended well enough, they kind of speed to the conclusion in the last few chapters but i'm ok with that. the author should just move on with new work. I kind of like when series end when they should, unlike Bleach or the continual leeching that Naruto is.
slave me
Burned Out Meter: Anime at 80% - Manga at 95% - Video Games at 2%
Now that the manga is finally over I wonder if there's ever gonna be a third season.
Waiting for WW3.
I'm still waiting for the damn epilogue. Aside from that, I liked all the characters, I didn't have a definite favorite. I was also really sad when this series ended, Rosario + Vampire was the first manga I had ever read.
Disappointment is the most defining trait of this world.
Still waiting for the epilogue and I do think this is the end for the series. I feel the ending was kind of rushed but that's okay with me. I enjoyed reading the manga. I wouldn't mind if we got a third season but I think it should here.
Noire is Best CPU Goddess
Just finished reading the epilogue...
So much uncovered...We finally learn of what kind of monster the bus driver is! A supreme commander of all monsters, that's so cool. Also, she isn't gone...she isn't gone.
I love this series so much man, and i would LOVE a season 3. My favorite manga is really over...for now.
Mizore/Kurumu still best girls...but Kokoa is just the best in general.
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
It was good though to me it really did set things up for a possible 3rd season
Even if it doesn't get a 3rd one I'll still watching for the mangaka's next work.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
following Tsukune's journey to becoming the new headmaster.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Still wish Mizore and Kurumu got together instead of basically having a harem but its only a minor thing for me.
"...Love is love & it's beautiful no matter where & who you find it with."

Me and you both, man. At least we have hope for a third season for that and if not, our imagination lol
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
I really need to start getting the Second Season, I have the first season. But so many other Manga I want to collect I keep forgetting about it... I just need to win some lottery and I would probably spend it just buying Manga...
The Closet became boring.
I am not really a fan of open endings, I would have preferred if the author avoided a harem ending. But it was a good conclusion.
Not a fan of the ending either but the journey was fun I suppose. And damn, Moka just can't get enough of that blood lmao

For those of you who may still be scratching their heads about my blog post yesterday describing changes to the guidelines... think about the date on which it was posted. Yes, it was an April Fool's joke. No, there are no such plans in the works.
But wouldn't it be nice?
My thanks to General Disarray, who reviews caches for Oklahoma, for letting me borrow the idea. I understand Heartland Cacher, who reviews for Nebraska, also played this prank in the Cornhusker state.

In parshah Ki Tetzei, Moses teaches us, almost as an afterthought, "Do not hate an Edomite because he is your brother." This teaching is understandable. After all, even an estranged brother who has wronged me is still my brother. But then, in a leap hard to grasp for many of us, the Torah goes on to teach, "Do not hate an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land" (23:8).
What? How can we help but hate those who enslaved us? Whose king demanded that "every male Israelite born be thrown into the Nile"? There must be a deeper meaning to these words. How can we be expected to develop good relations with such a mortal enemy? Which do we do? Do we recall our suffering in Egypt (l'maan tizkor et yom tzetcha m'eretz Mitzrayim) or do we "not hate an Egyptian"?
When I studied at Yeshiva University, hundreds of us would rush to the cafeteria after morning seder to quickly get our lunches so we could make it to our afternoon shiur on time. As you can imagine, the line could grow very long. There, standing behind the counter, dishing out daily helpings of whatever was on the menu was a gentle Holocaust survivor, Mr. Weber. To this day, so many years later, I can still hear his voice prompting us along: "Move de line, move de line."
Over the many years of my life, his constant refrain has become integral to my personal philosophy. To me, he was not simply asking us not to slow down the line; he was telling us not to get stuck in a tough spot and, by extension, not to remain mired in the bitterness of the inevitable challenges and disappointments we all face – not to bear grudges for the rest of our lives.
We all have to "move de line."
That means letting go of the negatives that hold us back – the things that enslave us, that humiliate us, that degrade us. Ironically, until we can let go of those things, we will remain enslaved, even long after our captors have set us free. We need to "move de line" if we are to forge new paths and realize new goals.
Hurt begets hurt. Anger begets anger. Hate begets hate. If you want to move de line, you have to let go of hurt and anger. If your "captor" allows you to go free, the least you can do is grant yourself the same grace. As long as you continue to be enslaved by negativity, you can know no freedom; you cannot embark on a new beginning. You are stuck.
As Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks eloquently teaches, "To be free, you have to let go of hate. That is what Moses is saying. If they continued to hate their erstwhile enemies, Moses would have taken the Israelites out of Egypt, but he would not have taken Egypt out of the Israelites. Mentally, they would still be there, slaves to the past. They would still be in chains, not of metal but of the mind – and chains of the mind are the most constricting of all."
But what of all the mitzvot centered on Yetziat Mitzrayim – including those recalled on Shabbat, when laying tefillin, putting on our tzitzit or reciting the ancient truths at our Seders? In fact, there is no hate, no rage, no call for revenge or retaliation – not even a shred of negativity – in any of these mitzvot. Instead, they focus on the positive: Remember. Learn. Grow.
Move de line.
Rav Soloveitchik views the Egyptian exile and suffering as the "…experience which molded the moral quality of the Jewish people for all time." Rather than embitter us, our experience in Egypt and subsequent emancipation teaches us not to hate and retaliate but rather "…ethical sensitivity, what it truly means to be a Jew. It sought to transform the Jew into a rachaman, one possessing a heightened form of ethical sensitivity and responsiveness."
The most practical method of teaching compassion, sensitivity and concern for others, the most direct way of imparting a sense of mitgefiel, is to recall one's own experience of tzarah. It should come as no surprise that it is often he who has suffered sickness who best understands the discomfort of the ill; he who has sustained loss who can best comfort the bereaved, and he who knew wealth and success but who suffered reversals who can best identify with a colleague or neighbor who confronts similar obstacles.

The testing data presented in the last several articles shows that there are some workloads where bcache works well and many workloads where it doesn't work well. But remember that bcache is still in early development so I'm not surprised that it doesn't have good performance in certain areas.(...)So is bcache ready for prime time use? The author of bcache readily admits that it's not and I agree.
So any good programmer reading this: this is your chance to get involved! ;-) For everyone else, stay tuned, I have a feeling it's going to get there eventually. By then SSDs will hopefully be more affordable, too.

So, this time it's not just me having a flashback, it's an entire group of Tenners (me, Kay Cassidy, Christy Raedeke, Jen Nadol, and Christina Gonzalez) all teaming up for a glimpse back at what we were like as teens!
We're doing daily interviews (complete with uber-embarrassing pics)...and believe me, I saved the best ones for these ladies! And at the end of the week, someone will win a prize pack just for commenting on the interviews!
So, today give it up for Christina Gonzalez, author of The Red Umbrella, a book set in 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still leads a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the soldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. Her friends feel like strangers. And her family is being watched.
As the revolution's impact becomes more oppressive, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States —on their own.
Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl?
Christina Diaz Gonzalez was born in a small Southern town, but moved to the big city of Miami when she was in high school. In high school she was a Majorette and had the silly nickname of Moose (the football coach gave it to her because she was small and the exact opposite of what people thought someone named Moose should look like).
Okay, Christina, it's your turn to share:
1) Did you (or any of your friends) actually marry your highschool sweetheart?
None of my BFFs married their highschool sweethearts.
2) What would your teenage self have thought of today's technology? And what piece of technology would have been your favorite (email/cell phones/texting/digital cameras/MySpace/Twitter/Facebook…)?
My teenage self would have been fascinated with all the tech stuff. I think digital cameras would have been my favorite because I loved taking pictures, but hated having to wait to develop them.
3) What's one thing you would have done differently (like a do-over)?
If I had a do-over I think I would have taken more pictures (or at least put them in an album somewhere). I'm bummed that I can't find that shoebox with my old pictures.
(Thankfully, she still had this one!)

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
I certainly have been a part of many of the pitfalls outlined in the article, especially when it comes to politics.
A prime example is how thousands are following a former soft core porn stars theory on vaccination, while foregoing the advice of doctors who have spent their entire adult lives studying the ramifications of vaccinations.
That was a great article! Though, things always sound better when someone tells you something that you agree with...
I guess one can't have an opinion and an education at once ?
Quote from: neiceclimber on January 30, 2014, 12:22:29 pm A prime example is how thousands are following a former soft core porn stars theory on vaccination, while foregoing the advice of doctors who have spent their entire adult lives studying the ramifications of vaccinations.I just read barely the article, but what I understand is more one of his conclusion: "In any discussion, you have a positive obligation to learn at least enough to make the conversation possible". What his an expert? For each two year in the field equal one year of university , it is what they call the equivalent. So, we can't state that because someone did six years of university, he is more than an expert who climb every day for ten years in different condition. This is particularly true in climbing when I red some guide self proclaim expert when they can't even rescue some one in danger in a white out in Mt Washington. Claiming that you spend more dollars for courses than day in the field doesn't make you an expert. What is the conflict between expert is not the theory or practice, it is the conclusion. In a lake, two company fight to have a contract. One company is for the following of fishing industry and the other for the evolution of mercury in the water. If they found no mercury, fishing industry will have the contract, other wise, the other company will have the money. Two analysis and two results. Guest what happen? Falsification of data is very dangerous and it is accepted in politic, particularly the justice ministry. In Quebec, a teacher change the definition of a world to eliminate a student of having grant. If you have 60 %, and asking for a grant, you will compete with people who will have 85%. Your chance to have a grant are 0%. The teacher change the definition so the student had 60%. The judge asked the teacher: do you change the definition? Of course the teacher can be accused of falsification, criminal offense, and lost his job. The teacher answer no, that what he wrote was O.K. So, the judge, knowing that the definition was false because he cited the definition that we found in literature, protect the teacher...making himself a falsification. That kind of politic, call judiciary power (oppose to legislative power and administrative power of the deputy) is very dangerous. The expert is not reliable because the authority, which is not elected democratically in Quebec, are violent against student. The student lost all his life. Expert or money maker? Democracy and liberty is very important for me, as well as live free or die. The problem of expert is what you gain from the expert. If a judge can change the life of other just because of his conviction, expert worth nothing. I am for a democratic justice. I like to see in the futur, a panel of twelve person, choose randomly from the population, without interest in a conflict, who will act as a judge for a week. With computer, I think that it is possible that a person of indiana and an other of florida be in a same panel to make the justice really "we the people".
I left college to learn about climbing
Hate to wade in on this but i think he is talking about Jenny Mcarthy? She was a playboy nude model I think not exactly a porn star.She had a kid with autism that she said clearly started due to vaccinations. Not saying she is right or wrong, but the number of double blind studies comparing vaccinated with unvaccinated children is exactly zero.Big phrama says they won't do them since it is "unethical," given that they already know that vaccinations are "safe and effective."May or may not be true but not exactly solid science.Ella has had her DPT series but nothing else. By this age she would have had 30 vaccinations had she followed the recommended protocol.Daddy Eyebolter has a hard time vaccinating newborn babies for sexually transmitted and IV drug transmitted diseases, or non-fatal ones, maybe I'm crazy....

ATLANTA — The two American aid workers who were infected with the deadly Ebola virus in Africa have been discharged from an Atlanta hospital where they were treated, the aid groups they were working for said Thursday.
Alison Geist, a spokeswoman for Samaritan's Purse, told The Associated Press she did not know the exact time Dr. Kent Brantly would be released from Emory University Hospital but confirmed it would happen Thursday.
The group SIM says Nancy Writebol was discharged from Emory on Tuesday. Her husband, David, said in a statement that she is free of the virus but has been left in a significantly weakened condition and decided it would be best to leave the hospital privately and head off to rest and recuperate at an undisclosed location.
Emory planned to hold a news conference Thursday morning to discuss both patients' discharge. Brantly will speak but won't take questions, according to a news release. Emory spokeswoman Holly Korschun did not give further details on either patient, citing privacy concerns.
Franklin Graham, president of North Carolina-based Samaritan's Purse, said in a statement that the group was celebrating Brantly's recovery. He has been in the hospital's isolation unit for nearly three weeks.
"Today I join all of our Samaritan's Purse team around the world in giving thanks to God as we celebrate Dr. Kent Brantly's recovery from Ebola and release from the hospital," Graham's statement said.
In his statement, David Writebol said Nancy "was greatly encouraged knowing that there were so many people around the world lifting prayers to God for her return to health. Her departure from the hospital, free of the disease, is powerful testimony to God's sustaining grace in time of need."
Brantly, 33, was flown out of the west African nation of Liberia on Aug. 2, and Nancy Writebol, 59, followed Aug. 5. The two were infected while working at a missionary clinic outside Liberia's capital.
Brantly and Writebol received an experimental treatment called Zmapp, but it's not known whether the drug helped or whether they improved on their own, as has happened to others who have survived the disease. The treatment is so novel that it hasn't been tested in people.
The limited supply of Zmapp also was tried in a Spanish missionary priest, who died, and three Liberian health care workers, who are said to be improving.
The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 1,300 people across West Africa. There is no proven treatment or vaccine. Patients are given basic supportive care to keep them hydrated, maintain their blood pressure and treat any complicating infections. Ebola is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of sick people experiencing symptoms.
On Thursday in the Liberian capital of Monrovia, calm set in one day after residents in a slum that was sealed off in an effort to contain the outbreak clashed with riot police and soldiers. World Health Organization officials were visiting two hospitals that are treating Ebola patients and struggling to keep up with the influx of patients.
The death toll is rising most quickly in Liberia, which now accounts for at least 576 of the fatalities, the WHO said. At least 2,473 people have been sickened across West Africa — more than the caseloads of all the previous two-dozen Ebola outbreaks combined.

What the candidates watch
I'm not buying the stories in TV Guide purporting to unveil which shows the presidential candidates favor. Obviously such questionnaires are filled out not by the candidates themselves, but by staff-level political operatives with marketing backgrounds and stacks of polling data demographics on hand.
Hillary supposedly claims her all-time favorite show is "Ed Sullivan" and her current fave is "Grey's Anatomy." In other words, her people think she can count on the female-skewing vote, needs the senior voting bloc and is playing to both.
Barack Obama's answer, SpongeBob Squarepants, which he attributed to his kids' viewing habits, is innocuous. His choice of "M*A*S*H" as an all-time favorite could be a nod to veterans, and "The Wire" is a superb choice critically, but could also be a play to his base.
John McCain listed "Prison Break," which cable news picked up on cue as a chance to reference his time as a POW.
Fred Thompson cited "SportsCenter," prompting "Hardball's" Chris Matthews to call that an ironic choice for a couch potato.
The whole thing is an exercise in spin, and not even the sort of spin worth deconstructing. If the candidates watch anything at all, it's replays of their own debate performances to study for upcoming TV appearances.

Flickr Hive Mind is back up! Sorry, I had a prolonged illness. We use cookies! Our Privacy Policy has been updated.
Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area

FROST. — Nicholas Frost was a native of Tiverton, in Devonshire, England.
Dt. Usher Parsons, of Providence, R. I., one of his descendants, says he was
born about 1595. Brewster says he was an adherent of Charles I. and left England
on account of the civil commotion of the times. He arrived at Piscataqua
about 1635 or 1636, and settled on the head waters of Sturgeon creek on the
south side of Frost's Hill, in that part of Kittery now called Eliot. He was an
active and influential man — a farmer — and was chosen "selectman" in
1642. In 1650, his wife Bertha (Cadwalla) and daughter, Anna, were taken captive by Indians and killed. His will is dated 1650, thirteen years prior to his death, which occurred
in 1663. It seems that for some cause the will was declared invalid by the
court, and the property divided equally among the children, except the eldest
son, Charles, who was allowed a double share.
His children were :
1. Charles Frost, born 30th July, 1631.
2. Katherine2 Frost, born 1633, married Capt. William Leighton.
3. John' Frost, settled in York.
4. Elizabeth2 Frost, married William Smith.
5. Nicholas2 Frost, died in Ireland, single, 1673.
Nicholas Frost, etc.
Frost Family Histories
Maj. Charles Frost born in England, took the homestead, containing
five hundred acres of land. It was on the then great highway for the inhabitants
of Piscataqua, on the banks of the river, between Portsmouth, Dover
and Exeter. It adjoined the homestead of his brother-in-law, William Leigh-
ton. Though trained to agricultural pursuits he became a prominent man both
in civil and military life. He early showed a fondness for military life ; became
a soldier at sixteen, and rapidly rose through the various grades until he
became Commander-in- Chief of the Militia of the Province of Maine, in 1670.
He was active in securing the annexation of Maine to the Province of Massachusetts
Bay. At the age of 26 he was chosen Representative to the General
Court at Boston, which he held for five years— 1658 to 1662, and again in 1669.
He was actively engaged in all the Indian wars, and was killed by Indians from
an ambush July 4, 1697. He left a large landed property. He married in 1675,
Mary, daughter of Joseph Bolles. She died 1704, leaving nine children, three
sons and six daughters.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Jessica Oleinik converted a feed from Nirupama Yechoor 11 minutes into the second overtime period to lift MIT to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Nichols College in non-conference field hockey action Tuesday. The win was the Engineers' third in a row while Nichols lost for the first time in four games.
In addition to scoring the game's final goal, Oleinik put the first points on the board, deflecting Anna Teruya's shot from the top of the circle off of a penalty corner 23 minutes into the first half. Lauren Correia evened up the match less than three minutes later, scoring her first goal of the season. Teruya gave the Engineers the lead back, as she deposited a laser into the back of the net after another penalty corner. MIT outshot the Bison 9-4 in the first half.
Chelsea Correia would erase Tech's lead 11:30 into the second half as she deflected in a shot coming off of a Nichols corner. That score would hold up for the rest of regulation as well as an action-packed first overtime period that saw the two teams combine for 12 shots, setting up Oleinik's eventual game-winner.
For the game, the Engineers held a 30-15 advantage in shots and had 10 penalty corners compared to four for the Bison. Keri Dixon made five saves to pick up the win. Nichols goalkeeper MaryKate Bednarz had six saves in the losing effort.
MIT will now host WPI on Saturday, September 27 at 2:30 p.m. in their NEWMAC opener. Nichols hosts Castleton State on Thursday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m.
