How to make Plum Jam
My Tip:Weigh the fruit on a kitchen scale or ask your local greengrocer to weigh them.If they come packed,they would have the weight printed on small labels on the carton itself.Take an exact quantity of sugar for the recipe.

What does it mean to have sensitive teeth?
If you experience pain or discomfort when consuming foods or beverages that are hot, cold, sweet, or sour; when brushing or flossing; or even when breathing sharp, cold air, you may have sensitive teeth.
What is the reason for sensitive teeth?
Common causes of tooth sensitivity include:
Over-brushing – brushing your teeth too hard may wear down enamel or irritate the gum line, causing it to recede and expose the tooth's sensitive roots.
Cracked teeth – a crack or chip in your tooth may expose the underlying dentin or may fill with bacteria from plaque, causing the nerve to inflame.
Teeth grinding – over time, grinding or clenching your teeth can erode enamel and expose dentin.
Gum disease – gum disease leads to tooth decay which breaks down enamel; gum disease can also lead to infection which may attack the tooth's roots or cause the gum line to recede.
Tooth whitening – using products with peroxide or baking soda can seriously aggravate exposed roots or dentin.
Age – studies have shown that tooth sensitivity occurs most often in people between the ages of 25 and 30.
It is possible to experience tooth sensitivity after routine dental procedures such as the placement of a filling or crown, tooth restoration, or even teeth cleaning. Such sensitivity is temporary; if it does not cease after four to six weeks please consult us.
How should I take care of my teeth if they are sensitive?
Tooth sensitivity is very treatable, no matter what the cause. Here are a few remedies you can take advantage of at home:
Try desensitizing toothpaste which contains chemicals that block sensations like hot and cold from reaching the nerves in your teeth.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush that will be gentler on both your teeth and gums.
Switch to a fluoride mouthwash.
Avoid acidic foods such as tea, tomatoes, and citrus fruits.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice every day and flossing once daily.
Depending on the cause and severity of your sensitivity, you may benefit from professional treatment. If you suffer from sensitive teeth, please be sure to contact us. We can set up an appointment to discuss what is bothering you and determine the best way to address the problem.

A pilot has died in a U.S. Navy Blue Angels jet crash Thursday afternoon in Smyrna, Tennessee, PEOPLE has learned.
According to a press release from the Naval Air Forces, the name of the pilot is being withheld pending next-of-kin notification requirements.
Country star Hunter Hayes was scheduled to fly in a US Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet jet on Thursday ahead of the Great Tennessee Air Show at the Smyrna Airport this weekend.
Five other Blue Angel jets were not involved in the incident and landed safely moments later.
Larry Farley, the Rutherford County fire chief, dispatchers were told that one person was killed, The Tennessean reports.
According to a source on the scene, Hayes was talking to a member of the Blue Angels team when the crash occurred.
"[Hayes] jumped up from his chair and went to the window to see the smoke," the insider told PEOPLE. "There was a big fireball and tons of smoke. Everyone is waiting in stunned silence, hoping for some good news."
A similar incident occurred on Thursday near Colorado Springs, Colorado when a Thunderbirds F-16 crashed as the plane flew over a U.S. Air Force Academy graduation ceremony, at which President Barack Obama was present, CNN reports.
Lt. Col. Christopher Hammond, commander of the Air Force's Thunderbirds demonstration team, reportedly said that the pilot encountered an unspecified issue during landing.
"He had already put his gear down, and that's when the incident occurred," he said. "He made a conscious effort to direct his aircraft away from some of the local neighborhoods."

Sara Netanyahu and her son Yair are demanding that the police look into the alleged leaking of information from their investigation to the media.
In a complaint filed by the Netanyahu family's lawyer, Yossi Cohen, the prime minister's wife and son accused the media of running "a carefully-timed and orchestrated witch hunt" which allegedly included the publication of leaked quotes from within the interrogation room. The complaint includes specific examples of quotes that were allegedly leaked by the police.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife, Sara and their son, Yair, were questioned separately on Monday on corruption allegations in the Bezeq scandal known as Case 4,000.

Musing With Cecil Buffington
The Watermelon Caper
Early Jefferson was saturated with farms. My little home village of Porterville included the Brooks, Brazeale, McGinnis, Covington and Blackstock farms. A slight bearing to the right in front of the Faith Baptist Church would take you to the Porter and Ben Wright farms just a few miles up the road. The Jimmy Johnson farm was probably the biggest local farm of the time located just outside Jefferson where it remains to this day.
I knew most of the aforementioned farmers fairly well. I believe I had more interaction with Hoke Covington than any of the Jefferson-Porterville farmers.
His son, Buster, was one of our "Porterville pack." I think I spent more time as a youngster with Johnny Pruitt and Buster Covington than I did with anyone other than my brother, Jack.
It was in a Hoke Covington cotton field that I picked cotton for the only time in my life. I think I may have picked a pound or so before running from that field and never returning.
One of the most memorable adventures of my youth occured when I was 11 years old and involved Hoke Covington. Every planting season Mr. Covington would plant a watermelon patch across the road from his home about a half-mile from the Bennett home. When my friend Johnny Pruitt and I found his watermelon patch we started carrying the melons through the woods to a big water hole on the George McGinnis property. We must have put 30 to 40 melons in the branch where we would break them open and eat the heart out of them at our leisure.
Well, Hoke Covington found the water hole and drove my grandmother down to the location. When she confronted me about it, I not only received a serious switching, but she made me carry every watermelon up that big hill to the Covington house and place it on his front porch.
It took me just about all day to carry those melons almost a mile to that porch. I well remember when I placed that last melon on his porch. Mr. Covington told me he appreciated it, and I could have a melon if I wanted it. After a quick, "Thanks, but no thanks", I got out of there as quickly as possible.
I don't recall ever stealing another watermelon or anything else from that day forward. I sincerly hope the good Lord has seen fit to forgive me for that youthful indescretion.
My grandmother had sat on the bank in a chair and watched as I pulled the melons from the water and carried them to the Covington house.
You can bet this was a lesson well learned.
The "Melon Incidence" was never mentioned to me again after that day as far as I can recall by my grandmother or Mr. Covington.
It became another memory of my fun times of growing up in Porterville, Georgia.
The Covington family consisted of Hoke and Maybelle, Carolyn, Buster and Janice. One of the finest and nicest families I ever had the pleasure to know.
Look at those beady eyes and snarling lips. A picture of an 11 year old watermelon thief. Thank goodness for my grandmothers switch. I might have become another Billy The Kid.
My grandmother, Mrs. Emma Bennett and daughter Kathy, around 1970.

It's important to resolve all commercial real estate issues while going through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, including all aspects of development, local compliance, environmental compliance and governmental regulation. Real estate issues are necessarily complex – even under ideal circumstances. Thus, constant attention to the details of the business and operations are vitally important.
Complexity Of Commercial Property Issues During Business Restructuring
Concerns about commercial leases, development, loans, financing and refinancing, and property liens all arise when a business considers restructuring under Chapter 11. If there's a failure to deal with these commercial real estate issues in a timely manner, obstacles arise in having a business or corporate reorganization plan approved by the bankruptcy trustee. Also, since commercial real estate is often one of the firm's greatest financial assets, dealing with these assets requires care and attention to detail.

Why great storytelling is essential for PR
Great storytelling must be part of any PR campaign and can catapult your business to success.
I'll explain why.
The answer is simple really…because people love to read stories.
Steve Clayton, Chief Storyteller at Microsoft goes as far as saying that "the human brain is hardwired to remember stories.."
But to keep people engaged, they have to be great stories. So, what is it that produces great stories and makes us read on?
Think about it for a minute.
What is the best book you have ever read? What is the best film you have ever seen?
Now think about why?
Why did it have such a profound affect on you?
Was it the 'on the edge of your seat' scenes, the fact it made you cry, angry or wonder; or maybe gave you hope or inspiration?
Whatever it was, it will undoubtedly have included intense emotions, trials and tribulations, how a person won in the face of adversity, how perseverance paid off despite challenges and obstacles, conflicts and resolution, people at odds with themselves or each other, love will prevail…..you get the idea.
Research has shown that if you can create and build tension in the first stages of your story then you will have people hooked.
Our natural curiosity kicks in – what happens next? Why did he do that? How will they cope with that situation? We naturally want to know more.
It's exactly the same with your business. If you read the above two paragraphs again, I bet that you can relate to some of those components of "what makes a great story" in the journey you have taken with your business and how it has developed?
Good PR will shout about your successes to consumers, but it will also illustrate perfectly through great storytelling how you achieved that success.
Let me ask you this? Which story would engage you more?
The story of a small business owner who builds his business from one employee to 100 in a year.
The story of a small business owner who builds his business from one employee to 100 employees in a year. He showcases some of his employees and their roles in the process, how he overcame funding and production problems, how he almost gave up, who helped him along the way…..you see where I'm going with this.
Chances are that if you only read the first story you would naturally start asking yourself questions anyway, but you might not get the answers.
We are compelled to read or watch on, as stories take us on a journey. It does need some of those essential parts I talked about earlier.
But remember, as far as great stories go, we don't just want to know the beginning and the end, but everything in between.
It may not always be pretty but we want to know about the blood, sweat, and toil; the disappointments and the triumphs. Don't we?
Put simply, we love character-driven stories with loads of emotional content.
Every business has a great story to tell. Find it, and use PR to tell it.

Do singles enjoy a party more than married people?
By mercuryman3a
@mercuryman3a (2477)
October 8, 2008 5:01am CST
I often find that singles attending a party tend to freak out more than married people. Either the wife is keeping an eye on the husband or the husband is keeping an eye on the wife. They are more concerned about who the other one is talking to, or they stick together. Singles have no inhibitions and roam around carefree. They talk to who they please,flirt who who they want.Come with someone and go back with someone else. Parties are great for singles. What do you feel?

Singles have more fun partying than married ones. There is no restrictions to their fun escapades because they can flirt, mingle with new friends, have drinks, chit-chat and more.

Yes. you are right. Singles enjoy a party more than married people.

when you are single it is easier to relax since there is noone looking over your shoulder and you dont have to consider someoneelses feelings. I prefer partying alone, not that I mind it when my boyfriend is around, but it is more fun when he isnt. And I dont mean fooling around with oters, because that is out of the question, but I dont know it is somehow different.

Mrs. Carmichael was the owner of a boarding house in the 19th century, San Francisco, Earth. When she was a lass, she did a church play.
In 1893, Mrs. Carmichael had the bad luck to rent her rooms to a certain "Mr. Pickerd" and his theater troupe. "Mr. Pickerd" offered her the part of Titania in their newest play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", in order to divert her from claiming the overdue rent. However, his ploy was unsuccessful. After "Mr. Pickerd" and his troupe left San Francisco, their boarding house bill was settled by Samuel Clemens. (TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II")
Carmichael was played by actress Pamela Kosh.

Microsoft Office 365 on a Cloud Platform
Microsoft is taking its next step into the cloud with the beta launch of Office 365, which combines Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Lync Online into a unified cloud platform. The limited beta launch will take place among a few thousand companies in 13 countries and regions, with general availability expected in 2011.
Those interested can sign up for the beta at Office365.com.
Although Microsoft built its fortune as a desktop-centric entity, the company has recently embraced an "all in" cloud strategy. A major component of that strategy involves offering a variety of cloud-based IT services to corporations. The strategy comes at a time when Microsoft finds many of its traditional offerings challenged by Web-centric upstarts such as Salesforce.com and competing cloud products along the lines of Google Docs.
For businesses, Microsoft has previously articulated its cloud strategy in the form of its BPOS (Business Productivity Online Suite), which bundled products such as SharePoint Online. BPOS has now been rebranded Office 365, and given added capabilities that should remove all doubt about Microsoft's intentions as a cloud-applications host.
For businesses with fewer than 25 employees, Microsoft plans to offer an Office 365 suite with Office Web Apps, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online for $6 per month.
Office 365 for enterprises will include more granular pricing options. For the monthly cost of $2 per user, mid-sized and large businesses can equip their personnel with basic e-mail. More expensive options include Microsoft Office Professional Plus desktop software with e-mail, voicemail, enterprise social networking, Web portals and other features for a monthly cost of $24 per user.
For more, read the eWeek article Microsoft Office 365 Offers SharePoint, Exchange, Office on a Cloud Platform.

The legal team at Shim & Chang have represented many bus accident victims in Honolulu and throughout Hawaii. We have obtained compensation for bus passengers who were injured while riding a city bus, as well as recoveries for automobile drivers and pedestrians hit by public transit and tour buses.
Oahu Transit Services (OTS) operates "The Bus" transportation system in Honolulu. Many locals use The Bus to travel to and from work each day, and The Bus is especially popular among senior citizens who no longer drive their own vehicles. While The Bus provides a valuable service to people in Honolulu, avoidable injuries do occur on city buses. For example, a bus driver may not wait for a senior citizen to sit down before pulling forward, causing the senior to fall and sustain an injury. Other driver behaviors that may cause passenger injuries include:
Our Hawaii bus accident lawyers understand how to hold transit companies responsible for a bus driver's failure to provide passengers with safe transportation. We will also look at the operability and condition of the bus itself to see if any mechanical or equipment issues caused or contributed to our client's accident.
The Honolulu lawyers at Shim & Chang also represent car and truck drivers and pedestrians hit by city buses and tour buses. For drivers of smaller vehicles and people on foot, a collision with a large bus can result in serious injuries and even death. Our extensive experience handling personal injury and wrongful death claims means we are well equipped to handle these potentially complex cases.
If you have been hurt in a bus accident, as a passenger or while on the road, you need the assistance of skilled Honolulu lawyer to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries. Few personal injury law firms can rival our experience dealing with insurance companies, government entities, and at-fault parties. For a complimentary consultation regarding your injury and options for recovery, please contact Shim & Chang today. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees until we obtain compensation on your behalf.
"Shim & Chang were committed to helping my son no matter how long it took. They got the settlement we needed to take care of him for the rest of his life."
The Estate of Mark Tokuyama v. City and County of Honolulu Jury awarded $953,114.57, which at the time was the highest award ever for a drowning case.
$7 Million medical malpractice settlement.
$6.5 Million settlement.

"You're just a woman ... alone," spits a homicidal home invader at a mom hellbent on saving her children in "Breaking In."
The line is meant to provoke moviegoers. But no. Audiences will be too bored by this predictable dud to get riled up.
"Breaking In"? More like, "Gimme a Break."
Gabrielle Union stars as Shaun, who's back at the fortress-like home of her long-estranged criminal father. Dad recently died. Shaun, accompanied by her tweenaged kids, Jasmine (Ajiona Alexus) and Glover (Seth Carr), is there to sell the place.
They marvel at security monitors, sensors and bullet-proof screens. But killer creeps led by Eddie (Billy Burke) have slipped in to get their hands on $4 million stashed in a secret safe. While Shaun is outside, he seizes the kids. Game on.
The plot recalls any number of nail-biters, including Halle Berry's "Kidnap." It's just a matter of time before Shaun, against the odds, undoes Eddie, psycho Duncan (Richard Cabral), clueless Sam (Levi Meaden) and code-cracking Peter (Mark Furze).
Along the way in the film out Friday, there will be fake-outs and firecrackers. Gunshots and gore. And scenes meant to be suspenseful that, as directed by James McTeigue, drew giggles during a recent screening.
There will be collateral damage common to thrillers that makes the happy fade-out hollow. There will be a moment in the movie, released for Mother's Day, when Shaun declares "I'm just a mom."
And, mostly, there will be the feeling that we've seen this all before.

Question: Wellbutrin day 5 with high anxiety levels
|mom34 - Sun May 03, 2009 9:15 pm
Share |
Recently was at the dr for a routine physical and complainedto him of depression. In 2005 I was diagnosed with Depression and anxiety and successfully treated with Lexapro. I stop taking in 2008. It's been approx 9 months since I've stopped taking and I lost about 20 lbs from what I think was the lexapro. Unfortunately I've noticed the symptoms pretty severe within the last three weeks..My Dr has prescribed wellbutrin I'm only on day 5 and I notice high anxiety, still crying everyday..will this go away? He also said my white blood cell count was 'slightly elevated' and wants to check at my follow up appt in a month! Why is he waiting so long. I am obsessing over having something terribly wrong with me.

Hi there --
First, and this is probably related to the general anxiety you're feeling, a slightly elevated white count is not something worth additional anxiety. It's a very common thing, can be caused by a passing mild virus, medication, just a very transient non-event as a rule. Try and let that one go, although it would be appropriate to follow up non-urgently any time something like that shows up, just don't give it too much thought.
The anxiety could be directly a result of the new medication, as many SSRIs can set off new and often intense anxiety even as the depression lingers, since the purpose of an antidepressant is mostly to fight depression and can take a couple weeks to reach a thereapeutic level. Trouble is, that occasional side effect of increased (or new) anxiety can show up sooner. Long, convoluted reason for that, but it happens -- a lot. Wellbutrin may not be the med for you. Then again, this phase does usually pass in about the same length of time the antidepressant effect begins to become noticeable.
There is one other thing to bear in mind, and that is anxiety and depression often go hand in hand, almost like a hangover after a drinking binge (for lack of a prettier analogy). This could be part of the problem too, but with SSRIs it can become a problem because of the med. Hopefully by now it's worked through and you're feeling better. If not, by all means consider trying something different. Since Lexapro worked well for you before, maybe it would again. Any special reason for the change?
Hope this is helpful to you and that you're doing better by now. Good luck and please follow up with us here.

I have been having some difficulty with my DSL line this past month. Once for 7 days and again for 3 days I was without DSL service due to a messed up connection in the ISP's end of things. All after sever lightening storms. I have DSL service through Yadkin Telecom a.k.a. YadTel a local company here in North Carolina. I have a ADSL line but do not know the exact kind of line I have. The provider makes a distinction for some reason. I do know I cannot use the line for phone calls. It seems that every time there is a thunderstorm in the area of any significance, my DSL connection dies. Anybody on my road that has DSL through YadTel loses connection and the whole area got hit hard the first major storm in July.
Is there any way to test the line for connectivity without spending large sums of money on pro testing equipment and is there a way to test the modem to see if its toast?
The modem/router is a Paradyne ADSL2+ Model Model # 6302-A1-200-0YV. (Not on the Hardware List) They also use Draytec but my connection is out on the edge of the service.
The ISP is hell bent on the problem ALWAYS being the modem. However out of the past 3 times I lost service, 2 of those times were due to their issues. I was able to test the modem at a friend's house who also has YadTel confirming the DSL modem was still operative. This last time the lightening finally toasted it.
Out here my only other options for internet service is back to Dial-up or switch to satellite. The cable lines do not come down my road.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Who doesn't love the warm, sweet drops of sunshine stored in those golden honey jars? Honey is one of the only food that is extremely healthy and still tastes heavenly. However, have you ever wondered how beekeepers manage to steal this ambrosia from the stingy (pun intended) clutches of honey bees?
If you go anywhere near a beehive, it will instantly raise the alarm among the protective bees, who will buzz angrily and sting you to defend their domicile, even if it means sacrificing their lives to protect their home. Therefore, beekeepers use a particular technique to protect themselves from the bees while they tend to the hive or harvest honey: passing smoke through the hive.
Smoking bees – What Does Smoke Do to Bees?
Beekeepers use a device called Bee smoker, which has been designed to create smoke by smoldering various types of fuel. They use pine needles, paper egg cartons, and rotten wood as fuel.
Smoke works to calm the bees in two ways: it hinders their sense of smell and triggers their survival response.
The predominant mode of communication for bees is their sense of smell. Whenever there is an intruder near the hive, the bees secrete alarm pheromones, Isopentyl acetate, and 2-heptanone. A pheromone is a substance secreted by an animal that causes a specific reaction by another individual of the same species. These alarm compounds trigger an alarm response in other bees, which readies them to stage an attack against an intruder. The smoke masks the presence of the pheromone being secreted and prevents other bees from being alerted to the danger.
Why does smoke calm bees?
When a beekeeper smokes out the hive, the bees sense and interprets the smoke as being indicative of a forest fire. The bees realize that they must abandon their home and search for a new one or perish in the fire. Their natural reaction to this threat is to store up as much honey in their bodies as they can, which will help them build a new home somewhere else. It takes approximately 8 pounds of honey for bees to make a pound of wax. Hence, they gorge on the honey and, much like humans who are stuffed with food, it makes them lethargic and calm…far too slow to attack and sting.
Does smoking bees hurt them?
Beekeepers have used this technique for generations since it does not have long-term side effects on the bees' health. Their pheromone sensitivity returns in approximately 10 to 20 minutes after the smoke dissipates. However, beekeepers do have to be careful with the tools they use for smoking since very high temperatures can melt the bees' wings. Modern beekeepers use a specialized tin can with bellows and use a non-harmful natural material, such as pine cones, wood chips, and cartons as fuel. They douse the fire and let the cinders burn, which produces smoke that is just the right temperature.
Therefore, the next time you pop open that honey jar, don't feel too guilty about it – no bees were harmed to make it! That being said, you did just steal a bunch of their food by essentially knocking them out and force-feeding them….

GBP failed to deliver follow through from Friday's 'no deal is better than a bad deal' Sterling slide. Profit taking and the Sky auction which US firm Comcast won for USD39bln saw the pair moving higher from the European open. Despite the bounce, Cable was nowhere near retracing Friday's price action and opens Tuesday around the 1.3108 level.
The main event in yesterday's trading session was provided by European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi, who continued his surprisingly hawkish tone. Speaking at an ECON Committee meeting in Brussels, Draghi forecast a 'relatively vigorous pick-up in underlying inflation', pointing towards continued wage growth. The Euro gained 0.55% against the Dollar and rates markets raised their expectations for ECB tightening from six basis points to nine over the next year.
Eurozone labour costs have been on a broad upward trend since mid-2016. However, at 2.2% annual labour costs growth in Q2, wages may be heading in the right direction, but they aren't getting there fast enough to support a sustainable move of inflation to target. Core inflation recorded only 1.0% in August, suggesting underlying price pressures remain characteristically subdued.
In his speech, Draghi mentioned a few of the numerous risks to the Eurozone – the sustainability of Italy's debt, Brexit, increased protectionism that is hitting the Eurozone manufacturing sector, and emerging market turmoil leading to Euro appreciation on a trade-weighted basis. And yet, risks were still 'broadly balanced'. If any of these risks crystallise, the ECB would have to backtrack on its guidance for beginning to raise interest rates from September 2019. Given market expectations for monetary policy, this would lead the common currency lower on reduced rate support.
Yesterday's afternoon brought the news that the US may hold more talks with Turkey on US pastor Andrew Brunson and that he could be released this month. The news from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo provided the Turkish Lira with a temporary reprieve, with USD/TRY trading down to 6.05 only to retrace overnight.
Tuesday, the first main release of the day is the Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index. US house prices continue to march higher, adding to affordability concerns in the sector. The index showed some signs of deceleration in the second quarter. Surveys show that consumers view high house prices as the worst condition for buying since October 2006, right before the crash. The Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index is expected to show slight moderation in activity in US mid-Atlantic factories after a six-month high in August. US Conference Board Consumer Confidence is forecast to moderate in September after reaching a cyclical high in August. The index suggests that consumer demand is in no danger of slowing and the jump in the income expectation sub-index suggests wage pressures are coming.
Tuesday has a full speaker schedule, so headline risk will be key for markets. The ECB's Chief Economist Peter Praet will deliver the opening remarks at a summit titled 'Rebalancing Return and Risk Amid Global Recovery'. Uber dove Gertjan Vlieghe of the Bank of England (BoE) delivers a speech with a Q&A session before the ECB's Praet is up again speaking on the low interest rate environment and consequences of unwinding asset purchases. The ECB's Benoit Coeure, usually a more dovish board member, chairs a research conference.

(Crux) Scrambling to respond to the vast needs created by Hurricane Harvey in August and now by Hurricane Irma, the Knights of Columbus, the country's largest Catholic fraternal organization, has raised more than $1.3 million to aid disaster victims in Texas and those in Florida and elsewhere who now stand in the path of Irma.
"We have seen incredible generosity from our members, and we invite others to join us in providing aid that is urgently needed," said Knights' CEO Carl Anderson, in a statement released on Sept. 8.
"The funds we raise will make a real difference in the lives of those already affected, and those who are bracing for the worst," Anderson said.
Already the Knights have distributed more than $150,000 for food, water and other necessities for people affected by the historic flooding in and around Houston, Corpus Christi and an enormous swath of inland and Gulf Coast towns and cities in Texas caused by Harvey. [More]

Does anyone know the capacity of the filling cylinder on the S400K?
I've done a search but come up with different amounts.
cc or L
Thing is I've got a 12L scuba bottle, and I'm on my 35'th fill at the moment. Now I'm not quite sure what the shop filled it to. I did state that it was for an air rifle though. I would guess they filled according the bottle, 232 bar.
I normally top up at 110 bar, however I've let it drop to 60 on a few occasions.
A link to the tech specs on a S4xxK would also be great.

University Regatta 2015
PlainSailing.com University Regatta – Western Scotland
Provisional Dates: Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th April 2015
We've launched our fantastic site – which gives users an easy way to charter yachts for any length of time, and with or without a qualified skipper! – and we have some absolutely brilliant ideas for the future: starting with a University Regatta!
We were both sailing when we were at University age, and we love the fact that sailing is not just about the boats: it's as much about the people you're with, and the places you are, as it is about the wind in your hair (and your sails)!
So what better way than for us to gather teams from University Sailing clubs from across the UK for:
- a long-weekend festival of astounding sailing around beautiful Western Scotland
- cruise in company or make your own way to the evening marina
- mainly for fun, but also a couple of races for the more competitive
- three fun-filled evenings (including a gala night!)
- A trip to a Scottish Whisky distillery!
We can assist with chartering a yacht for your club (and can even find you a skipper for the week if you do not have anyone RYA-qualified to sail it!)
At the moment, we are looking for expressions of interest to see how many boats would like to take part – so if you (or your club) would be interested in either finding out more or registering to take part, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com

text: Home > Media centre > How to Write a Budget You Will Stick to How to Write a Budget You Will Stick to In this article: Find out how to put together a monthly household budget without losing your patience halfway through. There's a difference between writing a budget that you'll follow and a budget that will end up in the too hard basket. We've all heard how vital a budget is for financial success, but it's easy to lose sight of this when the boredom of tracking expenses sets in. Here we look at tips and strategies for creating a budget the easy way. 1. Use a budget calculator Choose a good online budget planner, and you'll find it significantly cuts down the time it takes to record your income and expenses. Instead of trying to think of all the ways you earn and spend money, the calculator should guide you through the process. The Yellow Brick Road mortgage calculator breaks expenses into categories like household, personal, debts, insurance, savings and transport, with a wide range of bite-sized options in each category. For example, when recording your transport expenses, there are fields for car registration, parking, fuel, repairs and maintenance, public transport and fines. These can be entered using any combination of frequency, from weekly through to annually, which makes it straightforward to cut and paste figures directly from your bills. Hit the 'calculate' button, and the budget calculator will take this data and let you know if your expenses are greater or less than your income. The completed spreadsheet, which can be printed or emailed, is your reference as to how much you can afford to spend. If you're spending more than you earn, go back and review your expenses to see where you can cut back. 2. Don't get stuck on personal spending It's never easy to calculate how much you spend on variable personal costs like clothes, shoes, haircuts, holidays and entertainment. It might end up being such hard work that you feel tempted to abandon your budget planning altogether. A hack to overcome this hurdle is to leave the 'personal spending' section of the budget until you've filled out all the other parts, including income, fixed spending and savings. Once these figures are calculated, you can see what is leftover. Now allocate the shortfall towards these variable personal expenses. Take the first step Let's Talk 3. Use automation " Your budget should be fine-tuned regularly to account for any changes to your finances. It's always a good idea to be sure that your budget is based on actual expenses, not guestimates. Use a smartphone expense tracker app to note your spending over a set period, such as 30 days. Choose an app that makes this task easy to accomplish. Some apps like ASIC's TrackMySPEND, ask you to add new expenses on the go by putting in the expense name, amount and category. Others are linked to your credit or debit card, so can automatically categorise most expenses. Find the method that works for you. Your budget should be fine-tuned regularly to account for any changes to your finances. If you continue to track your expenses, it will be considerably easier to adjust your budget to reflect your income, spending and saving goals. Be sure to track every little cost, no matter how small or infrequent because it gives a more accurate picture of your spending. Even though a few dollars here and there might not seem like much, they can add up over time. 4. Add in wiggle room When recording your spending in each category, add in a small buffer. Do this with all your expenses. Now you have a little bit extra at the ready. It means you're covered should an unexpected expense arise, and you won't feel guilty when you want to have the occasional treat. 5. Keep your goals in sight Know why you want this budget. Maybe you're paying off credit cards, saving for a holiday or buying a new car. Whatever your goal, use it to keep yourself motivated to save money and stick to your budget plans. **The information on this article contains general information and does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs.

LAS VEGAS (April 28, 2010 - The Packer)—The list of ailments being blamed on the restaurant industry is a growing one that includes hyperactivity in kids, obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart problems and more.
As a result, the industry is dealing with more regulation than in the past, most recently with passage of the LEAN Act, included in health care reform legislation. The act requires restaurants to post nutrition information on menus nationwide.
A number of cities, regions and states already have passed or are in the process of passing similar requirements. The lack of uniformity was getting expensive, said Kim Eifler, director of purchasing for Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Inc., owner of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants.
To work with the new standards and regulations, the foodservice industry is seeking help from the produce industry to make produce more appealing, and put produce at the center of the plate, Eifler said.
The need for uniformity across the nation is one of the reasons Darden sponsored and supported the LEAN Act. It had already been through trans fat bans of a few years ago, and realized that the foodservice and retail industries work differently when it comes to labeling nutritional information.

Regarding the novel coronavirus: Due to the government's recommendations, the University of Borås has moved over to online instruction. This is valid until the end of the term on 7 June. Stay updated.
The aim of this project is to evaluate how the operation conditions and the combustion chemistry is changed in a Bubbling Fludized Bed (BFB) Boiler when adding approx. 20 wt-% Biomal into the fuel mixture.
The following issues were addressed in the project:
The project is based on combustion tests in the two Waste to Energy boilers at 20 MWth each owned by Borås Energy and Environment AB (BEM). Furthermore, results from the Waste Refinery Project "Reduced bed temperature in FB-boilers burning waste – part II" has been used as reference in some cases. At normal conditions the boilers are run on a fuel mixture containing 80 percent sorted industrial waste and 20 percent household waste. This fuel mixture consists mainly of paper, plastics and wood. In Borås the organic part of the household waste is sorted out and used for biogas production. With the addition of biomal, which consists of animal by-products crushed to a pumpable fuel, the chemical composition of the fuel mixture is changed to some extent.
The results from the combustion tests shows that biomal influences the chemical fuel composition, but also that there are large variations in the ordinary waste fuel composition as well. The most evident changes with addition of biomal are:
However, there were no changes in sodium, potassium, sulphur and chlorine, elements important for increased/reduced fuel related problems, derived from biomal.
The increase of calcium and phosphorus with biomal derive from bone and the calcium-phosphates influenced to some extent the sand/ash flows were the largest change was an increase in the amount of phosphorus and calcium. In addition a decrease of the amount of lead was seen in all ash flows. The calcium-phosphates were stable during combustion and no reactions of phosphorus with other elements were detected. The results from the trials in this project show that co-combustion of biomal had the following positive effects on the boiler performance:
The conclusion is that the boiler could be operated in a safe way with addition of biomal.
