Preston voters should seize opportunity
It is understandable why many in Preston are frustrated with the continuing attempts to develop the former Norwich Hospital property. Past Connecticut administrations dealt the town a raw deal by abandoning the large campus in the mid-1990s without any plan to clean up the pollution left behind, no policy as to what buildings and other facilities were worth saving and which should be razed, or even taking steps to properly secure and mothball the buildings.
Since then Preston residents, most who yearn to see the riverside property developed and generating desperately needed tax revenue for the town, have witnessed state and town officials field numerous proposals from developers. Some were unrealistic and given far more time, money and attention than they deserved, others more sensible but ultimately impractical because of economic conditions and the high-cost of cleaning up the site.
In 2009 voters, in a close decision, accepted the state's offer to sell the 393 acres in Preston to the town for $1. In essence Preston citizens placed the bet that their little town could do better than the state in getting the property sold and producing tax dollars. At the time this newspaper felt taking responsibility for the property was too great a risk and too much of a liability for Preston. But due to the efforts of Preston leaders and the many hours of volunteer service by members of the Preston Redevelopment Agency, significant progress has taken place. In return for hauling away scrap metal and other recyclable building materials, contractors have razed many structures on the former campus. Leveraging $300,000 in matching expenditures, the town has obtained about $3.7 million in federal and state grants to remove hazardous materials and continue the cleanup of the property. And in the administration of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Preston has found a willing and able partner in the effort to redevelop the site and generate jobs as well as tax revenues.
Yet the bottom line is still no development. For that reason some voters, we imagine, may have buyer remorse about approving the town's purchase of the property, while others may fear any future investments could be doubling down on a bad debt.
But the state will not be taking the property back. Voting against a future investment on the basis that taking control of the property to begin with was a mistake would be illogical and counterproductive. And while voters should rightfully be weary of making any bad investments in the property, they should not let fear of any risk taking allow a good opportunity to pass by. We are convinced that Preston now has such an opportunity.
Town leaders have negotiated for an attractive $4 million loan from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development. Repayment will not begin for five years, giving ample time to pursue developers. The interest rate is only 1.5 percent. And for every 100 permanent jobs created through future development, the state will forgive $1 million.
To get the loan, however, the town needs skin in the game - bonding a matching $4 million. The $8 million state and town investment would leverage another $964,000 in federal grant money. The nearly $9 million would be used to demolish and remediate some of the largest buildings on the property and greatly improve the prospects for redevelopment. And Preston voters should not forget this land has much going for it, including its location along the Thames River, with easy highway access and public utilities.
This is the chance to get development efforts over the hump. Voters on Tuesday should vote yes on approving the borrowing necessary to finally get this vital property cleaned up, revitalized and on the tax rolls.

Travel Guide
Wisconsin © Yinan Chen
The varied terrain of Wisconsin, which borders Great Lakes Superior and Michigan, offers visitors some of the most picturesque landscapes in the Midwest. The rolling hills and fertile land of the east have made it a prime agricultural area, though it is also home to many of the state's bustling urban centres, including Milwaukee and Green Bay.
In the north, heavily forested hills hide hundreds of small glacial lakes. In central Wisconsin, the scene shifts again to sharp buttes and mesas usually associated with the Southwest, while the western area along the St Croix River gives way to limestone and sandstone bluffs.
Wisconsin residents have a reputation for being energetic and outgoing, and once visitors have gone trout fishing on the Kinnickinnic River, explored the historic lighthouses and stunning waterways of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, gone mountain biking across the Kettle Moraine, or tapped trees for maple sap in the Northwoods, they will understand why.
Wisconsin's invigorating setting and crisp, pine-scented air are complemented by its rich culture, thrilling pro sports scene, and decades-long brewing tradition. German immigrants are credited with introducing the famous bratwursts and brews.
Scandinavian immigrants have also had an impact on Wisconsin heritage, particularly in the north, which boasts some of the best Nordic ski trails in the country. Each year, international athletes travel to Wisconsin for the American Birkebeiner ski marathon, part of the elite Worldloppet circuit and the most significant cross-country skiing event in America.
The state also has a large Amish community, which is welcoming of visitors and an unrivalled source for quilts and crafts, antique furniture, and delicious homemade food. Wisconsin's 11 Native American tribes also offer unique cultural experiences, including historic villages and cultural festivals.
As for the arts, Wisconsin was the home state of visionary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the founder of the Prairie School of Design. In the village of Spring Green, visitors can tour Taliesin, his home and architectural magnum opus.
The features for which Wisconsin is best known among Americans often go hand in hand: beer and football. Milwaukee is the brew city, home to Miller, the quintessential American thirst-quencher, as well as countless microbreweries and local brewpubs.
These are all perfect accompaniments to watching Wisconsin's beloved Green Bay Packers take the field. The Packers are NFL legends, and adventurous visitors might join Wisconsin fans, or 'cheeseheads', in braving snow and freezing temperatures to cheer them on at their home stadium.
The odd nickname of Packers fans is a testament to another of Wisconsin's claims to fame: dairy products. Often called America's Dairyland, Wisconsin produces more cheese than any other state in the country, and its beer, wine, and cheese tours are an indulgent way to spend a weekend.

Question about GE Microwave Ovens
Posted by LEXY732 on
A microwave can be dead for many reasons.
It may be the fuse, which is usually located behind the grille or on the floor of the oven behind the control panel or between the door switches.
If the fuse is good, it may be an open thermostat or thermal cutout (TCO) / thermal fuse on or near the magnetron or on top of the cavity / body of the oven.
If it goes dead for a while during or after cooking then comes back on, the magnetron is probably overheating and causing the magnetron thermostat to open.
Then when it cools, it closes the circuit and allows power through again.
When checking thermostats, if it has a hood fan thermostat, that should read open, as opposed to the others, which should read closed.
If it went dead almost immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted high-voltage capacitor.
If it went dead a few seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a failing high-voltage transformer.
If it goes dead or blows the breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open or close the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch mount.
If it's intermittent or random, it may be a bad connection, usually on the control board or a loose fuse holder, or even an intermittent fuse.
You should do a continuity test on the fuse while it's in the holder (with the microwave unplugged, of course) then turn the fuse by hand or take it out and put it back in, then test it again.
If you remove the fuse, then press the meter leads against the ends, it can allow internal contact to be made and make a bad fuse appear to be good.
If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical safety information and disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.
There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

What is a dust mite allergy?
Sneezing, runny nose can be signs of allergy
Dust mite allergy is an allergic reaction to tiny bugs that commonly live in house dust. Signs of dust mite allergy include sneezing and runny nose. Many people with dust mite allergy also experience signs of asthma, such as wheezing and difficulty breathing.
Dust mites, close relatives of ticks and spiders, are too small to see without a microscope. Dust mites eat skin cells shed by people, and they thrive in warm, humid environments. In most homes, bedding, upholstered furniture and carpeting provide an ideal environment for dust mites.
Steps to reduce the number of dust mites in your home can often control dust mite allergy. Medications or other treatments may be necessary to relieve symptoms and manage asthma.

I know that there are two camps of Kristin Chenoweth: the lovers and the haters. But I fall completely in the camp of the lovers. I know some consider her annoying, but I just adore her. Yes, I'm the person who watched all the episodes of Kristin that aired. So 12 Men of Christmas has been on my must-DVR list for a while. The perky little blonde with the squeaky voice loses her big paying job in the big city and moves back to a small town. Like Hank but without Kelsey Grammer and an annoying laugh track.
When she gets home she has to help a search-and-rescue station raise funds and she has to convince the rescue workers to strip naked and pose for a calendar, like Calendar Girls or The Full Monty. It's probably not going to be very good, and I expect a healthy amount of cheese, but considering how much I like Chenoweth and Christmas movies in general (it is seriously a problem), I'm sure I'll like it and add it to my annual watch list along with A Diva's Christmas Carol.
12 Men of Christmas debuts on Lifetime at 9 PM. Your choices are pretty much either watch this or COPS.

Beyonce + Jay-Z Did Not Purchase Scarsdale Estate
Yesterday we reported that Beyonce, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy may be relocating from their TriBeCa apartment to the suburbs of Scarsdale, N.Y. Locals of Westchester County may (or may not) be pleased to hear that the Carter family has no plans to move to Scarsdale — at least to the home Global Grind reported about.
The pictures posted on Global Grind's site are in fact of a home in Scarsdale — but are old shots of when it was being built in 2008 for different owners. Once people heard the rumors, and found out a new house was being built, they figured there was some sort of correlation. "[People assumed] if Beyonce + Jay-Z are moving, they'll probably have a new house. And if there's a new house being built — it's probably theirs," states a Scarsdale resident. He added that the rumors of the uber famous couple moving to the burbs first began several years ago — then resurfaced yesterday. A simple trip to the town hall could have settled all of this!
So there you have it. Confirmation from well placed, reliable Scarsdale sources. Besides, if Bey and Hov stay in the City, there's a higher chance we may bump into them, right?

A new study has identified several common genetic variants related to a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. The report receiving early online release in the journal Nature Genetics identifies variants in genes, some known and some newly discovered, that influence the QT interval measured on the electrocardiogram (EKG) performed routinely in doctors' offices. These findings could eventually help to prevent sudden cardiac death and arrhythmia by limiting the use of medications that affect QT interval in people with these variants.
The QT interval is the time from the beginning of electrical activation of the heart to the end of electrical relaxation. "It is well established that prolongation of the QT interval in the general population is a potent and heritable risk factor for sudden death," said Christopher Newton-Cheh, MD, MPH, of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Human Genetic Research and Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) and lead author of the Nature Genetics article. "In addition, QT prolongation results from medications leading to drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. This is a cardiotoxic side effect of scores of medications in widespread use and has been a major barrier to the development of novel drugs. From studies of families with congenital long-QT syndrome, we know that rare mutations with strong effects on ion channel function lead to QT prolongation and sudden death. But the common genetic basis for QT prolongation has been very difficult to establish."
To search for QT-associated variants, the investigators formed the QTGEN consortium, assembling more than 13,000 individuals from three studies - including the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's and Boston University's Framingham Heart Study, the Rotterdam Study and the Cardiovascular Health Study. All individuals had undergone testing of hundreds of thousands of common gene variations called single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
By pooling results from the three studies, investigators identified 14 common variants in 10 different gene regions (some regions had more than one variant) that were related to QT interval duration. A separate companion paper from the QTSCD consortium in the same issue of Nature Genetics - led by Arne Pfeufer, MD, of the Technical University of Munich and Aravinda Chakravarti, PhD, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine - included more than 15,000 individuals from Europe and the US. This independent study strongly confirmed 12 out of 14 of the QTGEN variants and identified two additional gene regions. "We were very reassured to see such strong replication in two independent studies" said Newton-Cheh.
The QTGEN investigators examined the effect of a genotype score comprised of all 14 variants tested together. The top 20 percent of the population with the highest genotype scores had 160 to 210 percent higher risk of prolonged QT interval compared to the 20 percent of the population with the lowest scores. They also had around 10 millisecond longer QT intervals, which is approximately the degree of QT interval prolongation observed for some drugs pulled from the market for arrhythmias.
"While it is commonly a combination of risk factors that contributes to drug-induced arrhythmias - such as older age, female sex, use of other medications, or heart disease - it is certainly possible that common genetic variants will add incrementally to risk prediction," said Newton-Cheh. "It's currently premature to advocate screening gene variants for risk assessment, but someday it may be possible to identify individuals who are at particularly high risk and should avoid such medications."
Newton-Cheh adds, "It's likely that many more genes will be found to contribute to changes in QT interval, and the real challenge will be understanding the mechanism behind their effects. Five of the gene regions we identified had never before been implicated in QT interval physiology and these genetic observations may thus provide key insights into normal and abnormal human biology." He is an assistant professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Support for the Nature Genetics study included grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development. Co-authors of the paper are Peter Noseworthy of Massachusetts General Hospital Cardiology Division; Paul de Bakker of Brigham and Women's Hospital; Xiaoyan Yin, Christopher O'Donnell and Martin Larson of National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's and Boston University's Framingham Heart Study; Mark Eijgelsheim, Karol Estrada, Fernando Rivadeneira, Jan Kors, Jacqueline Witteman, Albert Hofman, André Uitterlinden and Bruno Stricker of Erasmus Medical Center; Kenneth Rice, Joshua Bis, Kristin Marciante, Nona Sotoodehnia, Nicholas Smith, Susan Heckbert, Bruce Psaty and Thomas Lumley of Washington University; and Jerome Rotter of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Hours after a federal court judge ordered Oklahoma State University to show cause why it shouldn't be held in contempt for failing to respond to an RIAA subpoena, attorneys for the school e-mailed a list of students' names to the RIAA's attorneys. But now that the RIAA has what it wanted, the group is unsure about how to go about sending out its prelitigation settlement letters. Some of the students are represented by an attorney, meaning that the RIAA is barred from contacting them directly.
The case in question involves 11 OSU students accused of using P2P networks to infringe on the Big Four labels' copyrights. The students have fought hard to keep their identities secret, filing motions to quash the subpoenas and later attacking the credibility of the RIAA's expert witness. The judge denied the motion to quash the RIAA's subpoenas in November, ordering OSU to provide the identities of the students it believed were behind the IP addresses flagged by MediaSentry.
That's where things got a little bit sticky. In a filing on Monday, the RIAA noted that OSU said it would provide the info in late November. Further requests by the plaintiffs' attorneys in December, January, and "several times" already this month went unanswered, with one exception. On February 1, the university sent the RIAA's attorneys an e-mail that referenced an attachment containing the data sought by the labels, but the attachment wasn't actually attached.
The RIAA's normal course of action upon getting a school to cough up data on its students is to send them prelitigation settlement letters offering them the chance to avoid a lawsuit by means of a four-figure payment. Some of the OSU Does have hired an attorney, however, which makes sending out settlement letters difficult. "[A]t this time, Plaintiffs are simply unable to determine which of the Doe defendants are represented by an attorney without breaking the prohibition [against contacting represented defendants directly]," notes the RIAA in a filing. The attorney in question, Marilyn Barringer-Thompson, has so far refused to identify her clients either by name or IP address.
If that name sounds familiar, it may be because she represented Debbie Foster, one of the first defendants to triumph over the RIAA and win attorneys' fees. Barringer-Thompson has a history of aggressively litigating file-sharing cases brought by the music industry, and the RIAA looks like it's facing an another protracted and potentially costly fight here as well.
If nothing else, the OSU case serves as a reminder of the obstacles the RIAA has faced in its nearly-one-year-old legal campaign against college students. The labels have seen the Oregon Attorney General criticize their conduct in a case involving 17 University of Oregon students. In another case involving seven students at the College of William & Mary, a federal judge barred the RIAA from doing its usual end run around the legal system; seven months later the RIAA still doesn't know the identities of the students.

Tudor Tales - Part 6: Controls
Mission: Controls
As pointed out last month during our foray with motor mounts (I do realize that "engine" is the correct term, but "motor mounts" just sounds better!), we opted to push the steering off till we received the parts I should've ensured we had in the first place—that being the heavy-drop steering arms. Initially, I'd figured we could set the box and linkage up with the 1 3/4-inch dropped arms on hand, then simply swap arms out later. I simply thought wrong. Not only does the additional 2-inch drop in the steering arms locate the tie rod below the wishbones, it ultimately dictates where the drag link, Pitman arm, and of course the steering box itself are located/mounted.
For the Borgeson Universal Company Vega box itself, Jimmy White chose to use a framerail bracket/mount design of his own—one which utilizes a basic lower brace with integrated threaded bungs along with a through-frame threaded mount. This allows for plenty of options locating and positioning the box, and in a structurally bulletproof manner (the upper mount virtually eliminates any possibility of stress fracture). So, with the heavy-drop steering arms installed, the remainder of the chassis' steering could now be tackled; we'll tend to the upper echelon components (column and intermediate linkage) once we're further along with the body.
2. With the pedal kit pre-assembled, locating ensued, which the aforementioned illustration (and of course a straightedge and tape) greatly aided with.
3. Our starting point was taken approximately 37 inches back from the front crossmember, that, combined with the width of the bracket itself, gave us our parallels and perpendiculars for which to mark the framerail accordingly.
4. With a little assistance from above (Omar kindly held the assembly in position while I took the photo), White tack-welded the bracket in place.
6. A "stock" '37 Ford column/mount (hung off the dash's factory holes) not only navigates between the pedals perfectly but clears the Hedman Husler header that, up until this point, I was on the fence about using. Looks like the only thing I'm uncertain about now is the steering column—but seeing as the steering wheel itself has already been chosen (a cut-down original Crestliner), chances are you'll be seeing an aftermarket unit in the future.
7. As it turned out, that 37 inches put our master cylinder in close proximity to the tranny crossmember—close, but not to the point of interfering. Needless to say, had there been any clearance issues, we would've resolved the issues with a smaller master cylinder. Nice that Henry already accommodated my fluid servicing needs with a built-in access door!
8. OK, with the pedal assembly segment out of the way, we were able to move forward with the steering, starting with the 3 3/4-inch dropped arms provided by Speedway. The standard 1 3/4-inch arms allowed the tie rod to clear above the wishbones, however, not without posing clearance issues with the frame, and notching the 'rails was not a preferred option.
9. The additional 2 inches of drop in arm length allowed the tie rod to mount below the wishbones, eliminating all clearance issues (without having the tie-rod ends or Pitman arm surpass the scrub line either).
10. Before installing the box and drag link, we set the toe-in roughly an 1/8 inch.
11. For as long as I can recall, Vega cross steer has been the setup of choice for the majority of solid-axle hot rods—it simply works, very well, affording plenty of room for exhaust and other chassis-related items that other steering boxes don't. In our case, we're using a tried-and-true Borgeson Vega box mounted via a CCHR bracket.
12. The box itself was centered prior to being hung—a Sharpie, 36-spline joint, and the Pitman arm are all that's required for this step (four-and-a-half turns divided in half!).
13. Also, the Vega's cast mounting flanges are pre-tapped 3/8 inch; for our application, the upper ear, however, was drilled out to 7/16 since we're using a through bolt attaching the box directly to the framerail, as you're about to see.
14. White's Vega bracket allows the angle in which it's mounted to be adjusted per application simply by trimming the edge to suit. An additional gusset will be added to further strengthen the mount.
15. With the drag link attached, it's a bit cumbersome mocking up the Vega box and bracket, so White fashioned up a nifty "jig" of sorts using a couple clamps and scrap metal to act as his third (and fourth) hands prior to drilling/welding.
16. With the box jigged up onto the framerail, the drag link was positioned to run fairly parallel to the tie rod, with the Pitman set at a slight downward angle (as shown).
17. A transfer punch was used to mark the location for the box's upper mount onto the 'rail. With the engine in place and little room to work with, a pneumatic angle drill had to be used.
18. While the above-mentioned drill accommodated the space constraints for the initial drilling, there was still the second outer hole to be drilled. For that, White came up with this "device" to align the bit when drilling the pilot from the backside.
19. Rather than simply weld a bung flush to the boxed section of the framerail for the upper mount, we chose to use a full-length piece of tubing to avoid any worries of stress fractures. The tubing is tapped (7/16-20) roughly 3/4 in, the outside end left solid.
20. Once positioned with the box and linkage in place, the bung is fully welded to the outside of the frame, then finished off, leaving no evidence of its existence. The perimeter of the inside is also fully TIG welded.
21. Now all that remains as far as the steering goes is choosing, installing, and linking up a column.

Getting something done in Washington and the church
As Bryan points out in a blog post that has gotten a ton of comments already, my post about seeking cooperation and support between pro-life and pro-human dignity camps only has gotten a couple of comments. This seems to say to me that this is really just about politics and not the issues.
Republican visitors comment about how abortion is the number one concern and that the USCCB is somehow not pro-life enough because a few mistakes were made (as the CCHD has admitted and corrected, defunding organizations). And liberal visitors accuse the Republican Party of only using "pro-life" as an election slogan.
Meanwhile, the good folks at the USCCB are trying to get something done about pro-life issues across the board. They are lobbying to make abortion illegal, to support pregnant women, and to provide housing, health care, education, and other human rights to people in poverty around our country and world (and if you don't think this is Catholic, please, please read our Busy Christian's Guide to Catholic Social Teaching). As I said in my previous blog post, the USCCB wants to ensure that there is bipartisan support of any bill they support.
When U.S. Catholic magazine surveys its readers about its product, we get comments that we're too liberal and that we're too conservative. That's when we know we're doing something right. Perhaps the USCCB should be proud that they are getting heat from both extremes now!
But the fact remains that the vast majority of Catholics are in the middle. The shouting on each side is threatening real concrete action, whether in Congress or the USCCB.
Jim Leach, a 15-term Republican Congressman from Iowa, offers great insights into the polarization of our government in an article he wrote for NETWORK, The Catholic Social Justice Lobby (starts on page 4). The church could also learn a lot from this pairing of a quite liberal Catholic organization and the Republican..
Only 4 percent (those who participate in primaries), Leach writes in his first of 10 2-minute lessons on governance, control politics in the United States. "This 4 percent is socially quite conservative on the Republican side and vigorously liberal on the Democratic," he writes. "As a consequence, legislative bodies intended to represent a cross-section of the American public hardly have a place for the vast majoritarian center."
"Little is more important for the world's leading democracy in this change-intensive century than establishing an ethos of thoughtfulness and decency of expression in the public square," Leach concludes.
This article should be on the reading list of every Catholic that cares at all about politics, no matter what side of the aisle they're on. Sadly, more energy will be into partisan politics than solutions.


text: Friday, April 13, 2012 Model for Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Featured in American Cancer Society Journal The Prospective Surveillance Model, an innovative new model of breast cancer rehabilitation, is featured in a special supplement to the American Cancer Society's journal Cancer, released April 6. APTA members Nicole L. Stout, PT, MPT, CLT-LANA, and Jill Binkley, PT, MClSc, CLT, were among a panel of internationally known experts who developed the model over the past year. The goal of the Prospective Surveillance Model for cancer rehabilitation is to identify impairment at the earliest onset, to alleviate impairment, or prevent it from progressing. Soon after diagnosis, a physical therapist will perform a preoperative examination to establish a baseline level of function. Follow-up examinations are then conducted postoperatively at 1 month and then 3-month intervals, for up to 1 year. The panel of experts and national organizations involved in developing the model will continue to raise awareness about the model, with the goal of increasing the number of women who receive rehabilitation and exercise in order to maximize quality of life for the 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Read more about the model in APTA's press release or view the supplement online. The study, Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema: Comparing Direct Costs of a Prospective Surveillance Model and a Traditional Model of Care, led by Stout, was published in the January issue of PTJ. Hear Stout describe the model in this APTA video. Comments I think this is a great step forward for treatment - but how would it be billed or paid for? If we check q 3 months for lymphedema and they don't have any signs/symptoms will insurance still cover repeated surveillance? Posted by Megan Webster on 4/13/2012 11:07 PM You mention diagnosis as the trigger for baseline exam & surgery as the trigger for 12 month follow-up. However, I see no mention of rehab when radiation is involved & I'm curious why. As a survivor who had several surgeries, chemo & radiation, I found the radiation to have the most noticeable & longest lasting impact, although the negative effects didn't appear until ~ 3 months post-rad. I don't think my experience is unusual. Posted by Fran on 4/14/2012 5:48 PM

SBP: Mild Weather in May

I do believe the name prevents it from "catching on". A local changed the name of their Newgate Mild to Newgate Brown...and...BAM! Sales skyrocketed.
A rose by any other name?

I bottled my second all-grain brew last night and it topped out at a whopping 2.6% with plenty of undermentables giving it a full flavour nonetheless. Can I now nominate you as Pwesident of CAMWA?

Same thing happened at a brewpub I know in NY: changed the name of their "Best Bitter" to "Upstate Amber" and it flew...same beer, same customers. Nuts.

Lew! You had to use a picture with a dork in a fez in it? :-)
It was great meeting you and pouring our beer for you. One small thing, we actually had 36 other beers/meads on tap in addition to the 4 milds!
- May 7, 2007 at 12:49 PM
I've always lamented that the Brits had "ordinary" in the name of my favourite english style of beer. Just can't get the US market behind anything ordinary.
Time to go make a mild of my own I guess.
3.1% ABV and 18 IBUs, heaven on a warm weekday evening in the summer.

Hey, Dork--I mean, Drew!
Great to meet you, too, and that date mead shocked me with pleasure, I cannot tell a lie. And what an event! Nothing like it that I've ever seen.

Hey Lew, it was great to see you finally make it to SCHBF -- I've only been beggin' ya to get out here for 11 years since I left Philadelphia behind in search of warmer climes and (back then) the great hop fix in the sky.
I _KNOW_ you had a helluva good time hanging out with the Falcons, the Engineers and the other 23 clubs. Ya know, you could write a book about this festival and its rich history. Of course that'd mean you'd have to come back out to do further research -- hint-hint -- nudge-nudge --wink-wink.
Great to catch up with you. Don't let another 11 years go by before your next journey to SoCal.
- May 7, 2007 at 4:38 PM
- Lew Bryson said...
Bill, I had a great picture of you, too, but...ya know, Drew's fez just did it for me.
You were absolutely right, this is an incredible event, never seen anything like it. Might just have to do it again.

Mays Entertainment necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 123 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
Mays Entertainment
Mays Entertainment is a multi-Emmy winning, full-service film and video production company. We specialize in high-end films, documentary, reality TV, outdoor programming, commercials, music videos and web video production. Matt Mays is a writer, producer and director of hundreds of hours of television, film and video for broadcast, web and private outlets.
The "culture" of Mays Entertainment is youngish, dorky-hip, no-bullshit and competent. We were once inspired, now we're more interested in getting the job done in a timely and profitable fashion.
We've been at this for a while and have an extremely varied background. Modern, simple, yet slightly quirky design is something we lean towards almost always. No silly stuff. Our current logo sucks and we know it. But hey, it was free. Our current website has work samples but please do not hold its design against us. We're redoing it, too.
This company reaches out to everything from corporate and health care clients to MTV. Our logo, challenging as it may be, needs to communicate that we're a solid, super-competent bunch of peeps who, again, have been at this for a while and have worked out any need to do something silly or witty with their design at this point. We want to have the Coke, Starbucks or American Airlines logo for video companies
Make it classic. Make it last forever.
In the past we've always had black, white and some silver. New colors (two to three, max) would be great... please try to avoid red. (oranges are fine)
The only text needed is "Mays Entertainment." That's it. It'd be swell if the "mays" part was bigger text than "entertainment" as we've got to put this on our door and business cards. As for the subsequent design, see the "tell us about yourself" the "target audience" ramblings and the note below and knock yourselves out.
NOTE: We totally hate our current logo. PLEASE DO NOT use anything that says "hey, I'm a film and video guy" in the design. No film strips, no camera clip art, no "splashes of lame creative paints." or whatever. I've attached the current one for your reference and enthusiastic chiding.

Review Summary
The Flex Belt Abdominal Toning Belt by Slendertone is truly an awesome advance in technology.
Click Here For The Official Flex Belt Website
This device is by far the most effective we have ever seen of its kind. It makes it so that anyone can exercise their abs anywhere and anytime and it does all the work for you.
You can use it at work, around the house, while taking a walk, while exercising, watching TV, etc. The results are astonishing — The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact — in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach.
The Flex Belt is not a gimmick— it is 100% medical science. It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales.
The Flex Belt is perfect for people who want to flatten and tone their abs, but don't have the time for lengthy workouts or driving to the gym, or the space at home for exercise equipment.
This product is exactly what they've been looking for. The Flex Belt is also great for people that are already in shape and have great abs. They can wear it in between workouts to continue strengthening and defining their abs.

The Flex Belt has a variable intensity that goes from level 1-100. With continued use and as you get stronger, you will increase the intensity of your sessions. Trust us — This thing works! If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. This is probably the coolest, most advanced product we have ever reviewed. You can see an amazing demo of the product by clicking here. Or keep reading… it gets better.
The Flex Belt Concept
The Flex Belt is an innovative, medical-grade technology with the extraordinary ability to sculpt a firmer, stronger and more toned abdominal area without painful and repetitive exercise routines. The makers of Flex Belt are a medical device company headquartered in Galway, Ireland with 40 years of expertise designing, manufacturing and marketing EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) devices for medical and consumer use. Their EMS medical devices are used and prescribed in 5,000 clinics worldwide. In fact, this is the same technology that physical therapists use for their patients that need certain muscles exercised.
This product consists of a precisely engineered and ergonomically designed training belt that tones the central abdominal muscles and obliques for the flat stomach or 'six-pack' we all dream of. Flex Belt is so confident in the amazing results achieved with this groundbreaking product that they offer a full 60 day money back guarantee. If you use the belt as instructed (once a day, five days a week), you will definitely see results before the 60 days are up — so this is a no-lose situation satisfaction guarantee policy. We don't think an awesome athlete and legend like Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers would back the product and use it himself if it didn't work… you can see a video clip of Jerry wearing the Flex Belt on the official Flex Belt website
|"We evaluated a number of abdominal products and the nice thing about the Flex Belt is people got results!" – John Porcari, PHD, Professor of Exercise and Sport Science, University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse
How The Flex Belt Works
The unique construction of the Flex Belt features three prepositioned medical-grade Gel Pads covering the central abdominal muscles and external obliques. Signals from the belt reach out to nerves where they are most concentrated.
These nerves branch out to reach all the abdominal muscles (not just those under the pads) causing them to relax and contract naturally; therefore, working all the muscles at the same time. When wearing The Flex Belt, you will feel a mild pulsing sensation, followed by some tightening of the abdominal muscles. The muscles should contract smoothly, hold themselves in a tensed position for a few seconds and gently relax again. It is never uncomfortable — but always apparent. You control how powerful the sensations are with the intensity controller. The intensity goes from level 1-100. Like we said before, there is no chance this thing doesn't work — If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. The end result is that all the muscles are worked at the same time, and no sit-ups or crunches are needed to get flatter, tighter, more toned abs.
The makers of The Flex Belt guarantee results within weeks of using the system and 100% of users have reported more toned and firmer abs. All that is required is a mere 30 minutes a day, five days a week, to see results. The best part is that this 30-minute exercise doesn't have to be in a gym, and it doesn't have to take any time out of your day. This belt can be worn any time, allowing consumers to tighten their abs during almost any normal activity. The system is great for people of all lifestyles including casual exercisers, fitness enthusiasts, seniors, new mothers and even people with physical limitations. The Flex Belt is guaranteed to work for everyone, and you will definitely benefit from this simple system.

The Flex Belt Lifestyle
If you don't have the time to exercise, or you've tried to flatten and tone your stomach through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what you've been looking for. Even if you're already in awesome shape and already have great abs — the Flex Belt will continue to strengthen and define your abs in between workouts. Its ability to precisely target the appropriate muscle groups is nothing short of amazing, and has opened the door to a new era in fitness. The Flex Belt has made it possible for people of limited physical ability to avoid performing strenuous exercises like sit-ups or crunches, and still get great abs with its safe and ergonomic approach. The Flex Belt gives you the luxury to incorporate an abdominal exercise regimen into any part of your day without having to 'drop everything' and suffer through crunches and sit-ups. It is also the perfect solution for new mothers who want to get their tummy back in shape, executives who don't have the time to exercise each day, and even those that are in awesome shape and just want to look better. You also don't have to worry about changing clothes while wearing it because it will fit under your shirt, and there is no perspiring during a session.
On the official website, you will see an awesome video that shows you everything about the Flex Belt, including some detailed visuals of how it works your muscles. You will also see that the belt is used by several celebrities, cleared by the FDA, and has clinical studies showing that: 100% of the people reported their abs are stronger and more toned, the average person received a 49% increase in strength and a 72% increase in endurance.
The Flex Belt is lightweight and 'breathable,' and has different training programs built in that you can choose from. You can also manually control the intensity yourself. This innovative method for exercising the stomach muscles is also very easy on the back, and will be a welcome change from those who have sustained injuries through laborious sit-ups. While the popular expression "no pain, no gain" is still often used by reluctant exercisers, this product achieves a very efficient and targeted abdominal workout without the need for any pain or suffering.
We definitely recommend trying the Flex Belt — no one is ever disappointed.
A lot of people order an additional belt for their spouse so they can wear them together. If you have a friend that you exercise with, we recommend ordering together to take advantage of the $50 discount off the second belt. There are no hidden costs and all orders come with a more than fair 60-day money back return policy.
Another awesome benefit is that The Flex Belt comes with a 2-year extended warranty, so you can get your belt replaced should anything happen to it… no questions asked! We have checked the customer service out and it is great. They are always available during business hours and will help you with anything you need.

Alas, the euphemistic days are over. Now the talk is about when did the recession actually begin! Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Robert Hall, Stanford professor and chairman of the National Bureau of Economic Research Committee, says there is a chance we can finally know the answer. He says: "...the severity of the credit crunch could be enough for some committee members to make a recession conclusion as early s next month."
Good. I hope that such clarity comes in time for Christmas shopping. With the semantics of the country's recessive economic ills out of the way, it's time to head back to the shopping malls, just as George Bush once urged all Americans to do as his earlier remedy for a, um, downturn. Meantime, the Fed has cut prime interest rates another .5 pct. to jump start the economy. With the rate now shaved to a mere 1 pct., without any discernible help for the economy in the wake of all previous cuts, I wouldn't be surprised if the future cuts will be in eighths to give the Fed experts more room to convince the public that it is indeed trying to help us out of this mess. Don't know that even that will work. In fact until we know when the recession began, I'm not even sure that two and two are still four.

Queen Elizabeth spent some time with her daughter-in-law, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall on Tuesday.
The royal pair made an appearance at the Ebony Horse Club, an organization that uses horses "to improve the education, life skills and aspirations of disadvantaged young people, growing up in Brixton, South London." The club not only teaches riding, but also offers instruction in horse care and mentoring for at-risk children. The Duchess, who is married to the Queen's son, Prince Charles, is the Club's president.
The Queen, of course, is an avid equestrian and the royal family in general is known for its love of horses.
The Queen's daughter, Anne, the Princess Royal, and her granddaughter, Zara Tindall, have both competed in equestrian events at the Olympics (the Princess Royal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal and her daughter, Zara (known as Zara Phillips prior to her marriage to rugby player Mike Tindall), at the 2012 games in London — Tindall won a silver medal in eventing).
And Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, love to play polo.
The club was clearly thrilled to receive the royal treatment. Ros Spearing, the Club's founder and director, said on the organization's website: "It's wonderful to have The Queen together with our President, The Duchess of Cornwall, visit Ebony Horse Club to see how our young riders develop valuable life skills through horse riding and associated disciplines. Ebony has been working with young people from the local community here in Brixton for almost 18 years to find social and educational solutions that benefit both the young people and the community. We are excited to have this opportunity to show Her Majesty examples of how we work."

Like we said, the first episode of Top Gear USA sucked. Also like we said, this week's episode, airing tonight at 10/9 central on the History Channel, is significantly better. That's what we think anyway. Tell us your thoughts below.
Matt Hardigree gave you a spoiler-filled, behind-the-scenes look at how the Top Gear USA sausage is made on Friday. Now you get to taste that furry, big-headed sausage tonight in a segment we think is probably one of the best of the three episodes we saw. But you tell us in the comments below. We'll be jumping in at random as well.

This article appeared in an August 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
If you own a car, you know how expensive insurance can be. But if you shop smart, you should be able to find auto insurance that costs less than you are paying now.
To find a great rate, you have to shop around. Consumer Reports magazine says that most people — 75% — didn't shop for auto insurance in the previous year. Of those who did, most checked out only one or two companies. That's likely not going to get you the best deal.
Where to start? The Texas Department of Insurance offers an outstanding tool. Its online
auto insurance Rates & Policies form gives you sample rates based on your age and other characteristics and how you drive. Find sample rates, then contact the insurance companies with the best rates to get a quote. The tool also lists which insurance companies are in the best shape financially, which have had the most customer complaints and other useful information.
Consumer Reports magazine says you can save up to $7,800 over 10 years by shopping. It has published an
auto insurance buying guide that offers tips for cutting the cost of car insurance. Here are highlights:
Always have a copy of your current policy plus records of any at-fault accident claims and moving violations handy. You'll be asked for this information every time you request a quote.
Find more tips from the
Consumer Reports buying guide.
