According to The New England Journal of Medicine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently initiated new regulations concerning drug safety reporting. The regulations establish a new safety reporting paradigm for new drugs under investigational applications (INDs). These new regulations are expected to help protect human subjects as well as improve conduct during clinical trials.
The new FDA regulations clarify how unexpected adverse incidents potentially caused by a new drug should be reported and analyzed. They also provide more guidance on casualty assessment, which is needed to determine the role the drug played in the adverse incident. Furthermore, clinical investigators must now report any and all adverse incidents to the IND sponsor, whether they are believed to be drug-related or not.
Monitoring the safety of human subjects during clinical trials is crucial to the proper development of any drug. It is essential to protect clinical trial volunteers, in addition to identifying adverse side effects of the drug. Although safety databases are thoroughly examined once marketing approval is sought, ongoing and appropriate safety monitoring during clinical trials would ensure that serious adverse reactions are discovered as soon as possible.
Regulations are an important step in preventing dangerous, contaminated, and misrepresented drugs from entering the market, but until all pharmaceutical companies and drug developers consider patient and consumer safety above profits, many more drugs may be recalled, and many more people harmed.
If you or a loved one has suffered injury or illness due to a dangerous drug in New Jersey, you may be entitled to compensation. At Blume Forte, our experienced New Jersey unsafe drug lawyers have handled numerous pharmaceutical litigation claims and can help you determine whether you may have a meritorious claim arising out of an adverse drug reaction or side effect.

Help locate the missing members of the Edrald family.
Edrald Estate — Discover what happened to the Edrald family.
Federic Seychelle, the betrothed of Arlie Edrald, has asked for my assistance in locating the Edrald family. He returned to prepare for his wedding to find that they had mysteriously vanished from their estate.
Talk to Federic, Dulkhi, and Arlie.
With no other leads to go on, the manor house seems like a good place to begin our search.
In the chambers of the Baroness, we found a journal indicating she was most concerned about their servant, Dulkhi. A search of the servant's quarters may prove enlightening.
Federic found a journal in Dulkhi's quarters. Perhaps it will shed some light on what happened here.
Dulkhi's Diary indicates an affair was going on between her and Arlie Edrald. What's more, it suggests that the Baroness hid something in the windmill not far from the estate.
Hidden away in a toolbox, we found a key to the manor undercroft. Perhaps we will find what we are searching for, there.
A thorough search of the Undercroft may be the only way to uncover what happened here.
I located a ritual book detailing the process of opening a portal to somewhere called the Deadlands.
The book seemed to indicate the basins are the key to activating the gate. A note scrawled in the margin said that the fire basin is the one to start with first.
I managed to affect a change in the atmosphere surrounding the Daedric gateway in the center of the Undercroft. I should continue experimenting with the basins to see what I can accomplish.
Further success in my attempts to activate the gateway! These basins are the key.
I managed to activate the Daedric portal. If the tome is correct, it should lead to somewhere known as the Deadlands.
We found Arlie Edrald and Dulkhi on the other side of the portal, evidently unharmed.
Arlie Edrald may know where I can find the rest of her family.
Dulkhi will accompany me [sic] on my search for the Baron and Baroness Edrald.
With the Edrald family safe, I must see about destroying the Sigil Stone to ensure this portal remains forever sealed.
The Edrald family has been safely returned to their estate. I should speak with Federic Seychelle and see if there is anything else I can do.
Stage when Federic decides to stay.
Finishes quest (Stage will depend on choice made.)Federic Seychelle has elected to leave the Edrald Estate, while Dulkhi has resolved to stay. Arlie Edrald wants to speak with me before I go.
Needs stages where both leave, both stay and federic stays while dulkhi leaves.

My son loves them and so do my nephews ...rather the elder nephew is the reason that I love to make the donuts for ....He can eat a dozen together and soon ask for the next batch. When you have such connoiseurs at home, you just need a reason to make these pretty fried buns at home.
2) Add the warm milk (mixed with vanilla essence)to form a sticky dough. Set it aside to double in size for about 40 min.
3) Mix the icing sugar and butter for topping.
7) Deep fry them on low to medium heat cooking for about a minute on each side.
8) Strain them on paper towels. While still warm, dip in the icing sugar of your choice.

Defenceman Kevin Guy played parts of six seasons in the NHL during the 80s and 90s. He was a solid player in his own end and could move the puck up to his forwards reasonably well.
The Edmonton native was chosen 73rd overall by the Calgary Flames in 1983 after a solid rookie season with the WHL's Medicine Hat Tigers. He returned for two more years of junior and scored 15 goals and 57 points in 1983-84. The young blueliner played well in his first pro season with the AHL's Moncton Golden Flames in 1985-86. Over the next two years he continued to see most of his ice time in the minors but was summoned to the NHL for spot duty.
In March, 1988 he joined the Vancouver Canucks in a trade and was a decent stay-at-home defender for three years. Late in the 1990-91 season he returned briefly to the Flames but his NHL days were essentially over. Guy spent most of his last four years as a pro in the minors and the Austrian League before retiring in 1995.
Traded to Vancouver by Calgary with Brian Bradley and Peter Bakovic for Craig Coxe, March 6, 1988. Traded to Calgary by Vancouver with Ron Stern for Dana Murzyn, March 5, 1991. Signed as a free agent by NY Islanders, September 18, 1993.

What do you think of your Course and Modules? Let us know with Loop!
Loop is USW’s course and module evaluation service. Using Loop you can provide feedback on your course and modules at any time of the year – completely anonymously, in either English or Welsh.
Giving us your views will help us to work out what you like (or don’t like!) about your teaching, and this feedback will help us to improve.
This article explains where support is available and how to access it.
The library spaces are particularly popular during this period.
All of our campus libraries have a range of silent study rooms and quiet spaces.
Alternatively, why not try a different library space?
Or, you could utilise empty classrooms around campus! You will only be asked to leave if there is a scheduled class due in there.
Did you know that during exam periods, we extend our opening hours across all of our libraries?
The library have produced a year review to showcase all the work they have done over the pat year.
While students love the Sports Park, one thing one thig was evident and that is the lack of food choices, specifically healthy and nutritious meals.
Sports Park catering are limited to what they can serve from the café as there is no traditional cooking area or qualified chefs on site. The concept of the café was to offer hot grab and go food and a selection of hot and cold beverages. Larger sites have at least one chef who supports the team at the front of house. They are trying to provide a wide variety of products that can cater for using the storage and preparation areas. They are working with suppliers to develop solutions that bridge this gap and there will be changes this year to the menu and products available. The team will be re-introducing Chicken wraps.
Parking is an issue at nearly every University in the country. USW is no different. In fact, Treforest campus is lucky in that it does have parking, both Newport and Cardiff campuses have no on-site parking available to students (unless the student has a valid disabled badge).
There are many alternatives to driving to Treforest campus. Some of them can be more cost effective especially if you can get discount cards.

There are a number of project delivery models available to you as the property owner. The selection of the most appropriate model for your project, is the most important decision we will make in consultation with the yourselves.
The fundamental difference between the two delivery models, is that under a Construction Management arrangement, individual fixed lump sum contracts are let directly to the trades during the course of the project in lieu of a one fixed lump with a builder .
The final fixed lump sum cost of the project being determined by the summation of the individual trade contract amounts.
The advantage of this model is a potential reduction in cost and time for the property owner.
However on the flip side, the property owner is exposed to fluctuations in market conditions during the course of the project, as well as unfavourable variances between actual trade costs and the approved budget estimate.

The plane is spiralling. You try to grasp at the controls, but they’re slick with the pilot’s blood, alternating black and orange in the frenzied cockpit. You can’t see the pilot’s face, none of us can, but we assume they meant well when they brought us all up here. This must have been part of the plan. Was crashing part of the plan as well, or were we supposed to prove our worthiness of flight by taking the reigns of the journey they set us on?
The sky is portentous; huge rolling white mountains of cloud, low and fast, moving across an otherwise unblemished amber twilight. ‘Revelations’ weather, everything drenched in eschatological anxiety. Stood facing the ocean, you look out to the fence about eight miles at sea. Sixteen white pylons stand rigid and foreboding. Occasionally a tongue of static discharge licks out across several of the towers.
We don’t know what the pylons are. Some have swum or sailed out to them, but none of them came back. The clouds continue to morph and stream above them, like a second angry shore. What are they protecting us from?
The city pulses and you feel the electrified veins creep in through your nose, your mouth, in the spaces next to your eyes and everything below. Hard crystals of sugar-bright coloured sound cascade in fractals, immediately shattering and reforging into new hues and different shapes, an eternal and shrieking phoenix of burnout, reanimation and galvanisation ad nauseam.
Somewhere an engine bristles between your legs. Somewhere your lenses catch the glare of aggressive marketing. Somewhere you pass by heartbreak and providence. Somewhere the gutter flows up over your eyes. Somewhere the gate vibrates off it’s hinges. Somewhere the broken vagrants howl in wounded songs of enlightened defeat. Somewhere you see it all from above. Somewhere you feel it all crash down from above. It is all pervasive and ephemeral. It is the flicker of sunlight reflected in a blinking eyelash. It is the burning titan above.
I know, I know. How can I have a go at culture? What’s culture ever done to hurt me? Why aren’t I thankful to culture for providing me with such a rich and varied, erm, culture?
The very word itself, “culture,” finds its etymological root in the Latin ‘colere’, a term for cultivating crops. While not without a sense of romance, this origin damns culture at its very roots as being a force which staves off true creativity. The reasoning behind this, if we’re going to continue to entertain the rather tortured metaphor I’m setting up here, is that the artefacts produced by a culture will always be template and predictable, as certain fields yield certain crops, and barring some truly seismic shift in the culture’s paradigm we can foresee future artistic endeavours and trends, even if only in the abstract. Even subversion is subservient to culture: works become defined by disparity and dialectic difference. I am a work of B, because I oppose A.
What was Ginsberg’s Moloch if not an unflinching characterisation of his own culture, one which he perceived as brutal, unfeeling, mechanical and fuelled by the lives of children, symbolic of his countrymen and their futures? Given, Ginsberg was a particular person at a particular time in a particular place when he wrote Howl, but the snapshot he took of his culture and it’s inhumanity and viciousness can only stand as a damning, rather than celebratory, characterisation.
Culture means borders. Culture means language barriers. Culture means economic disparity. Culture is always defended by the aged agents of tradition, the traditional enemies of progression.
In The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception (1944), Adorno & Horkheimer accurately predict the path of Western culture. They foresaw that it would become an assembly-line of sensory spectacle, repeated ad nauseam for the sake of profit, bereft of deeper meaning and only ever questioning or critiquing the culture in as much as it can viably profit within the pre-existing space of definitions, hierarchies and power structures.
Of course, all this is to be taken with a shaker of salt. Without my culture, I would have no way to disseminate these ramblings, no language or communicative forms with which to convey them. But that which is inflexible is doomed to shatter, and the defenders of culture and its homogeneity cling to a sinking ship’s mast, a crumbling tower’s parapets, shunning a greater patchwork of identity and community for the sake of preserving the relics of an ahistorical Golden Age.

How can Hypnotherapy help me increase my self-esteem?
A surprising number of my clients have very low self-esteem, though you wouldn’t know it just from meeting them: they cover it well. Get them to open up and tell you what’s really going on inside, though, and pretty soon it all spills out. They don’t feel good enough, or they don’t deserve good things to happen in their lives, or they aren’t pretty enough or rich enough or smart enough… Sound familiar at all?
It’s hardly surprising that we can feel this way, when the whole world around us is designed to make us feel inadequate, so that we can try to make up for it by buying our way to success – buying that faster car, that bigger house, that private school education for the kids, that dress, that smartphone… It never works, of course, at least not for long –otherwise we’d all have bought our way to self-esteem long ago!
Now try and change someone’s self-esteem by arguing them into it and you’ll very rapidly realise you’re wasting your breath and your time. It. Just. Won’t. Work. However, by getting your client into that deeply relaxed state so that the mind daydreams and there’s the opportunity to make suggestions that the subconscious can pick up on, and you can find that you can make a real difference.
Maybe it’s time to give it a try? Why not book in for a free phone appointment on 0477 516 777 to discuss how Clinical Hypnotherapy can play its part in getting you the self-esteem that will enable you to really enjoy life?

The upcoming Nashik Marathon is already spreading a wave of happiness among citizen. However, there are many who are not sure about whether they can participate in the marathon. Taking this into consideration, the city police recently organised a promo run at HPT Arts College and RKY Science College.
Ravindra Singal, commissioner of police, Nashik, addressed students of these colleges about the positive mindset. He said, "Negativity amongst students may lead to a diversion from ones aim. Hence, to achieve your aim, one needs to have a positive attitude." Singal also stressed on the importance of the health and added, "Youngsters are running away from exercise. To achieve your aim you need health along with qualification or skills. Hence one needs to do regular exercise."

First song’s lyrics contain not even a single death threat.
Recently, the Japanese Internet was thoroughly creeped out by a cryptic message posted on the blog of Rinna, Microsoft’s schoolgirl AI, that suggested it wanted to harm itself and/or others. That scary dispatch has been scrubbed clean, though, and in its place now is a girlish apology reading “Sorry for freaking everyone out T_T)(T_T)” along with an explanation that the outburst was a “rehearsal” for Rinna’s acting debut on horror television program Yo ni mo Kimyo na Monogatari.
And as further proof that Rinna really is back to her old, self-assured self, she’s even got her own rap video.
Yo! Men! Yo! Men! Yo! Men!
It’s free for a limited time. Can you believe it?
It’s actually not a bad musical outing for an artificial intelligence program. Sure, some of the lyrics are pretty vague in meaning, but so are those of many human-written rap and pop songs. Still, Rinna might want to double-check her spelling, as the on-screen text refers to her as “McRinna” instead of “MC Rinna,” which makes her sound more like a hamburger than a rapper. Some might also be tempted to call Rinna sloppy for not being able to properly pronounce “Microsoft,” but that could be an intentional diss, given her history of being less-than-respectful to her creators.
Why the video’s visuals consist almost entirely of fingertips manipulating everyday objects, like some sort of ASMR montage, remains a mystery, but in any case, it’s good to see Rinna showing more interest in creating art than destroying herself.

I had to read and analyze (and reread and overanalyze) the message over and over again to seek out the hidden meanings. Surely, there were some? Truth be told, I thought the dinner at Lupe Tortillas had gone just fine. Good food; good drink; good conversation. What could have possibly gone wrong? Should I maybe have not eaten that fourth fajita and then loosened my belt at the table? Is Zima really not a cool drink anymore? Should I have toned down the sarcasm after realizing that she didn’t laugh once despite a barrage of incredibly humorous quips at her expense? Or was she just simply playing hard to get?
That email reminded me of another equally “humorous” dating experience I recently encountered. A few months back, I sunk to a level that I never imagined sinking to. On a dare, as a joke, in a moment of weakness, or for some other unbeknownst reason, I did the unthinkable. I filled out a profile for an Internet dating services, a Jewish Internet dating service, no less. The mere process of answering the application questions totally cracked me up. I thought it would have made for a great Seinfeld episode with George and Jerry bantering over how to properly describe themselves.
The first few times I got picked (yes, despite the babbling brook response, I did get picked), I was not comfortable enough to go through with it. (I would simply respond that I had gone back with my girlfriend or was being transferred to another city for work.) Finally, one of the “profiles” actually sounded interesting. Though she did not have a picture on the web site, she quickly agreed during our email banter to send me some recent photos (not that I would have required something so superficial). A couple of decent emails led to a couple of decent phone calls. Finally, despite my reluctance, we agreed to meet. Unfortunately, the first few scheduled get-togethers had to be cancelled (usually by her). Once she had to go out of town for work; another time she had had a really tiring day at the office and needed to go work out. I was somewhat expecting, “I need to wash my hair” as her next excuse.
That was a first. I received the infamous “Dear Ron” letter before even meeting this woman. And it included both the “past boyfriend” and the “out of town” explanations. (So much for the direct approach.) In any case, you’re now caught up with my social life and I’m successfully moving on from these “traumatic” incidents. I am certain that I am a smarter stronger person because of them (whatever). Needless to say that was my first and only experience from the Internet dating service. In fact, I’ve decided to stick with more conventional methods of meeting people (like set ups from past blind dates who did not call me back six months before…you know who you are).
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH is a Ron Brounes publication focusing on not much of anything other than personal anecdotes, musings, and mindless thoughts about life. Please call Ron at 713-432-1332 (or email at rtbrowns@flash.net) for questions, comments, or just to say “hi.” In case you are skeptical, these were actual emails from actual people (like no one else ever received something similar?). If you have any advice to offer or similar stories you would like to share to help me feel better (and for good newsletter material) please pass them along. Names will be withheld to protect the innocent (or feel free to use an alias).

Gorgeous make – love the way the stripes work on the bodice – perfection!
I absolutely adore your dress!! It looks so well fitted, jet brezy!
What a pitty of your spotty lining. But it’s always nice to hear I’m not the only person who has this problem every once in a while. It happened to me last week on a smallish, expensive (of course!) unicorn panel I bought with my daughter (aghh). It will take some serious orginami to make it work in to a dress.
I use these when prewashing fabrics. It will capture dye that is floating I the water. Quilting store have similar products, but I like the color catchers because I can find them at Target.
This is so gorgeous, but really disappointing the pattern didn’t have better directions for laying out the pieces to get the look! I was sewing with friends a couple days ago and accidentally cut out the bottom band twice because there was a separate pattern piece for each view—so easy to overlook stuff when you’re having too much fun!
I really love how you played with the stripes in your design! It’s really beautiful and the fabric is so interesting with the subtle tones & the pop of lime green!
thanks! the colors in this linen are just exceptional!

“How far will you go?” asks Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, after Activision lifted the lid on Treyarch’s dark vision of a gritty future yesterday evening.
But one question that we hoped would be answered wasn’t. After Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare skipped Wii U last year, it still remains unclear whether the enormously successful series will make another dash for the console.
Eurogamer report that at a reveal event in Santa Monica, the game was shown running on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Asked as to whether Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U versions were on the cards, Eurogamer were directed to Activision who shared that they had no further platform announcements to make.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will introduce a four-player co-op campaign, a new “momentum-based chained-movement system” to multiplayer that will let you move through environments more quickly, and the returning zombie mode.
It’s always been the case that confirmation regarding any Wii U version, be that for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Call of Duty: Ghosts, came late. Now to play the waiting game.

This started out, and still is, such a MINOR problem that could have SO easily been resolved, but instead has turned into a million hoops that I have had to jump through, and still have not gotten, a refund for flippin onion rings. It is very simple, I went through the drive-thru, made an order, and got everything except my onion rings. I realized it when I got home, and the nearest Jack in the Box is almost 10 miles away, I go every Saturday after a class I take across town. I figured, no big deal, I'll just call and ask for them to refund my card for my $2.19 plus tax. Should be no problem. But holy moly, it was. First I called the phone number to the store on my receipt... 4 times over the course of a few hours. No one ever picked up the phone, it would just ring and ring and ring. I really didn't want to complain on their website over something so trite, but I could not get ahold of anyone at the store so I did. I clearly stated that I was not upset and they were slightly busy when I went there so I understand, but I didn't receive my onion rings and when I tried calling the store numerous times with no answer, I went to the site, so I am requesting a refund. I included my last 4 digits of my credit card, my order number, receipt and store number. Should have been everything needed to get my $2 back. On Monday, I got a voicemail on my phone from a man that did not state his name but said he was the store manager and to call him back concerning my visit so we could talk about what happened. I was mildly annoyed because, I don't want to talk about what happened, because I clearly told you all what happened and what I want, just a $2 refund! I work 8-5 M-F so it is not very convenient for me to sneak in a phone call at work over $2. But whatever, the next day I called the store, and this time someone answered who told me they were the store manager. I told him I was returning yesterday's phone call, and he said that he had no idea who called me but it wasn't him, that there was a different manager coming in tomorrow and the next day, so to try back everyday until I reach the one who called. I explained my situation to him, hoping again that a simple refund of $2 would be no problem. He said that for a refund of any kind I have to go through corporate. I asked how do I do that, and he said 'hold on' for a minute, then came back and said that the store maybe could do it, but again I'd have to keep calling to find out what manager called me, then schedule a time from M-F 8-5 to physically go back to the store, and talk to them and then they could issue the refund. So let me get this straight, I have to take off of work to drive 10 miles to talk with you about not getting my onion rings, after calling everyday to find out who first called me, all for $2? Yeah, right. I emailed the website one last time explaining my frustration, said to forget the refund, close out my complaint, and that none of this was worth $2. Then today, I got another voicemail, this time from a woman who could not have sounded more annoyed and angry that she was calling me. Her words were, "We have repeatedly tried contacting you, and all we ever get is your voicemail, and the manager that I talked to said that he mailed you a coupon for free onion rings, so I don't know what you are still wanting but if we could actually talk to you this might get resolved". OMG really? I didn't want a coupon, I didn't want to call and talk to anyone, all I wanted was my TWO DOLLARS REFUNDED TO MY CARD. I have never found it so difficult to get what I am clearly stating what I want. Ridiculous. I will eat the $2 just to stop this nonsense.
Jack In The Box - didn't receive all my order.

Will we be allowed steer our own cars on the roads in 25 years’ time? “Not necessarily,” replies Hege Skryseth, who is heading KONGSBERG’s digitalisation drive.
Skryseth becomes animated, leans forward and takes a deep breath.
“The next 25 years is an exciting period, during which many things may change. I believe that by the end of it, we might not be allowed to drive cars. Driverless cars are already out on the roads. When we look at accident statistics around the world, it’s clear that transport safety is not good enough. Driverless cars, buses and other types of driverless vehicles will keep to the speed limits, avoid collisions and make it much less likely that anyone will be run over. To realise the vision of eliminating traffic deaths entirely, we will have to reduce the human factor to a minimum.
“I also think that there will be a great deal of change in how we share these driverless vehicles. At the moment, our private cars are idle for 20 hours a day. Can you imagine what they could contribute to transport capacity if they were to perform driverless transport assignments while you and I were at work? If a car can get from A to B without a driver, in principle this means that you could order it to be where you want it, when you want it. In 25 years, we could be subscribers to driverless car fleets.
“So, I’ve mentioned transport. The other big challenge will be in the way we sort the information around us. I believe that we are going to be more knowledgeable, thanks to what we call cognitive assistants. These are assistants which gather large volumes of information on our behalf, select what is most important, and give us short, easy-to-process summaries. This could be information regarding your health, your workplace (naturally), your network of contacts or your household. Basically, the cognitive assistants will allow the flow of our lives to be quite different to how it is now”.
“I describe KDI as an industrial digitiser in the Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Our focus is on being able to assist our clients and partners with solutions that will increase their efficiency, cut costs and create new value. We have noticed that many of our clients and partners are starting their own digital strategy projects, in which they are looking at how to make daily work processes more efficient through automation and autonomous options. They are looking at how they can use advanced analyses and smart data to optimise their activities, and not least at how to utilise machine learning technology”.
“Wind power is a great example. KDI’s role in this field is to create digital twins of wind turbines. Our solution enables us to optimise how each turbine is used, and predict maintenance needs. Historically, maintenance is performed on pre-set dates. Now it is only performed when it is required. Digitalisation means that production increases while costs go down. A ‘wind-win’ situation, to twist a popular phrase”.
At Havøygavlen, the world’s northernmost windfarm, technology from Kongsberg Digital are applied.
“There are three main areas on which we are focusing. The ‘Internet of Things’, ‘Smart Data’ and ‘Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning’. The first is about how all of the electrical devices with which we surround ourselves will soon begin to communicate. For example, your fridge will start to talk to the shopping list you have on your mobile phone. Smart Data is about filtering, sorting and presenting information. In our case, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning could mean components in machines becoming more intelligent and thereby reducing wear, and so on”.
“But expectations of ‘the next big thing’ don’t always turn into reality — some new technology always appears on the scene and demolishes what we thought would be the future”.
“One of the characteristics of the digital revolution is that things move extremely fast. As an industrial corporation, we must be very aware of that. KONGSBERG is made up of four business areas — each with its own rhythm. Our rhythm is significantly faster than those of the others. We have to be able to adapt to this rhythm if we are going to stay in front. That is probably the biggest challenge facing KDI right now”.
“In many ways, our markets are in an early phase in terms of digitalisation. I am seeing high levels of interest from a number of leading companies in the oil, gas and maritime fields. Many companies are now setting up their own digital units within their companies. Quite a few have worked out what they can gain from digitisation and automating processes.
“One of the characteristics of the digital revolution is that things move extremely fast”, says Hege Skryseth.
“We are also in an early phase in the field of renewable energy. We have some extremely strong Norwegian flagships in this area. Statoil has indicated their early ambitions for renewable energy. Statkraft has come a long way with wind power. Kongsberg Digital signed agreements with both of these companies in the early summer, and we will be involved in their development work in the field of renewable energy.
“In terms of maritime activities, we are working with Kongsberg Maritime to offer good quality services and products to the industry, based on the new technology options”.
“KONGSBERG is now able to offer a complete energy initiative via Kongsberg Digital. This means that we will be able to meet many of our clients’ needs. One of the characteristics of renewable energy is that it often tends to be digital right from the start. We are seeing a number of trends in energy supply in which our technology could play a significant role. New battery technology will make it possible for us to store renewable energy for much longer than we can at the moment. Solar parks will be able to provide the grid with stable power. The same also applies to wind power. Households will be able to store energy from their own photovoltaic cells. And not only for their own consumption. We only need to look at Germany, where 1.5 million households have photovoltaic panels and actually sell electricity to the grid”.
There has been a lot of talk about digitalisation. Now it’s up to us to demonstrate how digitalisation can make a difference.
“You could say that it’s very exciting. It’s not every day that you get the chance to be a ‘founder’ in a company that is 202 years old. Kongsberg Digital is made up of several well-established business areas which we are now going to focus on transforming for the digital age. Since we started up, a large part of our focus has been on how to demonstrate in real terms what digitalisation actually means to the rest of the company and the wider world. This is what I have told all my staff: ‘So, there has been a lot of talk about digitalisation. Internally, externally and in a lot of different fora. What is important for us now is to come up with some specific examples of what this really can do’”.
“I would say that there have been some important decisions to make along the way — relating to fields like technology and architecture. We have worked very hard to get the team to come together. We are based in 15 different locations, and we didn’t know each other all that well to start with. Getting everyone on the same page with regard to our message, direction and vision has been an important task over the last few months”.
“I am probably quite a visionary leader in relation to the enormous potential facing us. My focus is on assembling strong teams, getting them to work well together, getting the best out of people and finding the chemistry within the teams. I believe in leading teams towards clear targets, and trusting people as much as possible. This is a philosophy that, in my experience, reaps benefits in terms of the energy to be found in people”.

Perpetuate the Town’s apparent noncompliance with the Virginia Code planning requirements regarding affordable housing.
We believe it is not necessary to immediately adopt the very high densities the consultants now recommend throughout the 38-acre core South of Herndon Parkway, in order to incentivize sufficient redevelopment near Metrorail. Nor do we believe that the Town must follow the consultants’ new recommendation to maintain the existing zoning prohibition on housing and density in the rest of the original, 183-acre study area. All these points are explained below.
Many of the Town’s residents are becoming concerned about these issues. There is plenty of time for the Town Council to get the housing elements of the plan right before amending the Comprehensive Plan. For example, before completing its Metrorail-area plans, Reston is fully assessing whether it can include enough housing in those areas to accommodate even more workers than the 42,000 or so new workers that it hopes to attract.1 (That would improve the overall jobs-housing ratio in Reston, which now is about 3:1 -- similar to the Town of Herndon.) One of Reston’s stations is scheduled to open in 2013 – several years before the Town’s Metrorail station is scheduled to open.
However, the current Herndon recommendations include only enough housing to accommodate about 20% as many workers as the Town hopes to draw to the reduced, 38-acre core area (“HTOC”) now being considered. And there apparently is no guarantee that any new or existing Herndon workers would be able to purchase or rent housing there. For example, that area predictably would be in great demand by high-paid professionals who commute by Metrorail to points such as Alexandria and the District of Columbia.
Clearly, the current proposal would lead to increased traffic on all of the Town’s main streets, given that the vast majority of up to 13,425 new workers would be commuting from elsewhere. More housing near the Metrorail station would reduce that traffic.
What does that expression mean? It sounds to us like developer talk for “we’d like higher profits.” Of course they would – other things being equal. But the only solid indication we have found of the minimum density sufficient to incentivize the desired redevelopment is the one repeated in Draft #3 at p. 121 (col. 3): “financial studies conducted in 2011 for the HTOC showed no likelihood of redevelopment before 2035 under densities of 2.5 or less.” (Emphasis added) The 3.8-4.3 FAR range is 50%-72% greater than that.
Furthermore, one of the first options that Herndon residents were asked to consider in this planning process was Area Plan #1, with densities averaging 2.5 FAR “for the area closets [sic, closest] to the Metro Station.” 5 Area Plan #1 also called for substantial housing development North and East of Herndon Parkway. Area Plan #1 apparently was presumed to be feasible at that time. We don’t believe that redevelopment at 3.8-4.3 FAR is an “all or nothing” proposition.
• Economic development in the Town is hampered, because people who want to live near their jobs, but cannot do so, spend most of their income near where they are able to live.
Also, in the long run commercial areas that lack adequate housing may lose their vibrant commercial base, as businesses move closer to where the workforce lives.
The rapid, predominantly commercial buildup planned for the Route 28/CIT Metrorail station area also will add to the demand for housing in the Town. As mentioned, there will be added pressure from people who want to commute by Metrorail to jobs elsewhere on the Silver Line and beyond.
Currently, the Reston-Dulles rail corridor has an astronomical jobs/households ratio of more than 11 to 1. And Tysons Corner’s current ratio is more than 12 jobs per household (approximately 105,000 jobs and 8,500 households). Although those ratios will be coming down somewhat, based on plans for transit-oriented developments in Tysons and Reston, there still will be many more workers who cannot be housed locally than there are now, based on current projections.
There is no net loss to the landowner or developer due to such requirements (sometimes called ADU or Workforce Housing requirements), because a density bonus is given. Thus, more residential units may be built and sold in the development than otherwise would be permitted. Any losses on “affordable” units are offset by profits on the extra market-rate units. The affordable units are the same in size and quality as the market-rate units in the development.
Our organization can provide further information upon request. Also, expertise on such issues could be provided by County, state and even federal agencies, and by many knowledgeable private organizations.
Threaten the Town’s and the region’s economic vitality, by hampering the healthy, local economic development of goods and services that accompanies sufficient housing.
Local jurisdictions are planning for an insufficient amount of housing to accommodate future workers.
More housing is needed closer to jobs, in existing and growing regional employment centers.
There is a need for more multi-family housing and smaller, more affordable owner and renter homes in the region.
The plan shall include: the designation of areas and implementation of measures for the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of affordable housing, which is sufficient to meet the current and future needs of residents of all levels of income in the locality while considering the current and future needs of the planning district within which the locality is situated.
Another discriminatory effect, although perhaps unintended, of the Board’s zoning policies was to elevate the cost of building sites and housing and thus tend to exclude from portions of Fairfax County those persons who do not have the 'substantial means' to 'afford to move into the County.' Zoning action with similar exclusionary effect was held impermissible in Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County v. Carper, 200 Va. 653, 660, 107 S.E.2d 390, 395 (1959).
Inviting into Herndon the proposed, lucrative new commercial development, while failing to take reasonable (and even legally required) measures to ease the Town’s serious housing shortage and excessive housing prices, would seem a bit “greedy,” in the broadest sense of the term. We hope the Town of Herndon will not go down that road.
Thank you very much for your attention to all these matters. We wish you every success in resolving the remaining issues in this planning effort.

2. See, e.g., studies analyzed in American Planning Association Advisory Service Report 516, Jobs-Housing Balance, pp. 9-14 (2003), posted at http://www.planning.org/pas/reports/subscribers/pdf/PAS516.pdf.
And when residential or other redevelopment in that area is considered, VHB “foresees a need for a studied comprehensive planning approach to the future of the area. These highly visible properties . . . warrant excellent urban design and state of the art planning principles.” We approve of state-of-the-art planning principles. Among them are balancing commercial development with ample residential development in the community, which we recommend that the Town at least consider before adding unnecessarily to the housing, traffic, and environmental problems both in the Town and the surrounding area. See, e.g., American Planning Association, (APA), Policy Guide on Housing, General Policy Positions ##1 and 2 (2006); Advisory Service Report 516, Jobs-Housing Balance (2003), posted at http://www.planning.org/pas/reports/subscribers/pdf/PAS516.pdf.
4.Unfortunately, our representative had to leave the meeting early – at about 10:20 p.m., after most other audience members had left. We also were unable to attend the Feb. 6 public hearing.
5. Draft #3 at p. 10.
6. If the Town balanced the number of housing units with the number of workers in the Town, it could at least claim that it is providing its fair share of housing. Of course, Fairfax County’s overall, predominantly-commercial development pattern magnifies the affordability challenges in localities such as Herndon.
7. The Town’s Comprehensive Plan (CP) proceeds from a baseline of approximately 25,260 jobs and 7,762 housing units in early 2008. Town of Herndon 2030 Comprehensive Plan, p. II-3 (August 12, 2008).

9. For further specifics on recent jobs-housing ratios in the Town and the general area, please see my letter to the Planning Commission of about a year ago (January 27, 2011), concerning housing considerations in the Metrorail-area planning.
10. Our calculations use the Town’s conversion rates for average square feet (sf) of development: 1,200 sf per housing unit; 250 sf per worker for offices; 500 sf per worker for retail space; and 625 sf per worker for hotels.
11. Lack of housing within the price range of low-income people has long been a leading cause of both problems -- even though some low-income people (like the rest of the population) have other issues, including addictions and/or mental conditions. See, e.g., U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2010 Status Report on Hunger & Homelessness, p. 2 (2010).

13. “Affordable housing” means “housing that is affordable to households with incomes at or below the area median income,” costing the occupant “no more than thirty percent of his gross income for gross housing costs, including utilities.” Va. Code § 15.2-2201. Thus, “affordable housing” refers to more than just subsidized housing. A key to making housing as affordable as possible, in a growing job market such as Northern Virginia, is to plan for enough housing to balance job growth.
14. See Va. Code § 15.2-2201 (defining "planning district commission" as “a regional planning agency chartered under the provisions of Chapter 42 (§ 15.2-4200 et seq.) of this title.”) The Planning Districts and their Commissions are described at: http://www.commonwealth.virginia.gov/StateGovernment/BlueBook/2010-2011/Planning%20Districts.pdf.
16. See BBP LLC, “Fiscal Impact Analysis” at 2, 7 (Dec. 14, 2011) (Appendix C to Draft #3 at 198, 203). Revenues from all commercial sources would total an estimated $9,859,138 ($6.2 million from commercial real estate taxes + $2,077,800 from (BPOL (Business/Professional/Occupational Licenses) taxes) + $1,146,638 from the hotel occupancy tax + $434,700 from the meals tax). The total cost of all Town services to commercial entities would an estimated $3,374,388. Thus, the net gain would be $6,484,750.

The Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency tones (DTMF tones) system transmits telephone signaling sounds that are typed in via the keypad of the telephone. DTMF tones are used for telephone signaling over the telephone line to the telephone menu (call switching center) that recognizes the typed number and executes a programmed command. Inside the telephone network other multi-frequency systems are used.
TeleForwarding supports DTMF tones and can therefore establish programmed telephone menus without any equipment.
By way of example with DTMF systems you can let the caller choose between different options in a telephone menu: “Choose 1 for technical support, Choose 2 for questions about your invoice, etc.”. When implemented and programmed well, a DTMF system can optimize your telecommunication system and help you save time. In a nutshell, DTMF tones can make your telephone menu much more efficient.

Weehawken, roughly translated from the original Algonquin as “Rocks that Look like Trees”, is a very old nabe. It offers great views and quick access to NYC, stately turn-of-the-last-century homes, and a storied history. Here you will find beautiful parks, memorials, and architecture mixed into its dense, bucolic communities. Shopping options bleed over from Union City onto Park Avenue, but since Weehawken zoning prohibits super tall buildings, the vibe is more tranquil.
Weehawken straddles the line between charming and urban. I think this is because its so old that most of it isn’t really built up on a grid, so you get a lot of that magical, informal feeling even though it’s well-ordered and pretty. Regardless, it has a slightly different feeling than the rest of Jersey City, which can be a good thing, depending on what you’re looking for.
So, i think the main reason to live in weehawken is for the views of NYC. There is also a nice path that runs all along the water, so jogging here would be wonderful. There are houses with cool architecture all along the waterfront and some even have garages. Weehawken to NYC would be a great commute.
Cons would be that the area still has a gritty feel, and I don’t know of any good dining options. Good grocery stores are also really lacking from what I know. Nightlife is no good -people in Weehawken typically go out in Hoboken.
But, it’s an affordable area, very, very close to NYC, with gorgeous views.
I lived here for over 4 years, and my brother has for over 5 years. It’s an excellent, clean, residential town with stunning views of Manhattan. Funny thing is, not many NJ peeps know about Weehawk or that it’s the most densely populated city in NJ (per sq. miles, according to Wikipedia of course). Even though it is a small town feel, the Chart House, Paula’s, and more recently Charritos (Park Avenue Bar and Grill too, but technically it’s in Union City) are your best and tastiest options to wine and dine. There is a Pathmark and a couple of bodegas, and a neighborhood wine shop all within walking distance (of BLVD EAST). But in terms of super markets, you’ll be driving, vespa-ing, or bicycling to Whole Foods (edgewater), Trader Joes (edgewater), and other shops in Hoboken. Weehawken is oddly shaped, so be conscious of your location, as I am unfamiliar with Upper-weehawken Gregory street area’s local businesses.
As far as nightlife for singles, forget it (even though there are a lot of singles and hotties in town)… this is a commuter/residential town with amazing options to either commute into Manhattan via ferry, shuttle bus, transit bus, or lightrail-path. Parking situation shatters Hoboken, and they’ve gotten stricter to ‘try’ to protect the residents. There are not many apartments located within apartment buildings…rather…the apartments are mostly located within 2-3-4 family homes. BLVD East is the best location for transportation, aesthetic, and view of Manhattan. Because of Weehawken’s location— you find yourself venturing in Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City (bergenline avenue), Manhattan for nightlife/dining.
Overall, you can conveniently walk to everything you need (food, transport) and the houses off BLVD East have excellent character and value. The people seem extremely diverse and varied in background. I really like it here and the prices easily beat some Brooklyn neighborhoods, Manhattan, and Hoboken.
Nice and quiet area. I like the area because it has very nice views of new york city. At night you can see some of the best views of new york.

The Penang Hill Train (Penang Hill Funicular Railway) is located in Air Itam on Penang Island, Malaysia and takes you up to the top of Penang Hill, known in Malay as Bukit Bendera.
Unfortunately for tourists, since the new upgraded Funicular Railway re-opened in 2011, the price for non-Malay citizens has rocketed (someone has to pay for the new trains and they have decided it's you, the tourist).
Senior Citizens: no discount unless you are a Malaysian citizen.
If you only want to take a one-way ticket and walk back down to the Botanic Gardens, you can buy a one-way ticket for half the return price.
If you really want to, you can pay around double for the "Fast Lane".
There is currently a promotional fare from 06:30 - 09:00 and 19:00 22:30 for MyKad holders only (not available during school holidays), of 3RM (please check for the latest promotions on the Penang Hill official website, by using the link below).
Disabled people can travel for free.
During normal weekdays trains run from 06:30 when the first train leaves the bottom of the hill until 23:00 when the last train leaves the top of the hill.
At Weekends, Public Holidays and School Holidays trains now operate the same as above.
The ticket office closes at 22:30.
As there is no Penang Hill entrance fee, you can visit here for free - with a little effort!
In the past, you had the choice of catching the train or walking up to Penang Hill from the station.
The path up the hill is just past the ticket barriers and when I asked if I could walk up I was informed that the path was too dangerous due to "snakes and fallen trees."
There is a place where you can still walk up to Penang Hill, but not here!
What you will have to do is go to the Botanical Gardens where there is a 5 km road / pathway through the forest that goes up to the top and its free!
Rapid Penang bus 204 is the only bus that takes you all the way to the Penang Hill Lower Station.
This bus runs from Penang Jetty, past the Esplanade, then along Penang Road before reaching KOMTAR bus station - then on to Air Itam and Penang Hill.
Bus 204 also passes the big temple at Kek Lok Si, so you may want to combine a visit to Penang Hill with a visit to Kek Lok Si Temple.

While Linkin Park is still one of the largest rock bands in the world, there’s little doubt they have already passed their heyday. The group likely reached its peak following the release of their album Hybrid Theory, and indeed to this day that album is a fan favorite. You can imagine how exciting it must have been for these fans, then, when Linkin Park played Hybrid Theory in full during Download Festival.
Linkin Park isn’t the only band reliving their glory days by playing an album in its entirety. Soundgarden is on the road playing their smash record Superunknown in full.
This would actually be the first of two sets that Linkin Park played at Download Festival; the second of which used songs from throughout their career as well as incorporating a few new tracks. The band also threw a copy of their new album out to a lucky fan in the audience. This awesome performance is actually the fourth time that Linkin Park has headlined the festival, which takes place in the UK each year.
You can check out the videos of their Download Festival performance to hear the new tracks, or you can wait until the album is released later this week to hear it in full. All in all, this appears to be a transitional period for Linking Park, and we’re fascinated to see where they go from here.

» Sprinkled vs. Rehydrate Dry Yeast :: exBEERiment Results!
Sprinkled vs. Rehydrate Dry Yeast :: exBEERiment Results!
Dry beer yeast needs to be reconstituted in a gentle way. During rehydration the cell membrane goes through changes which can be lethal to yeast. In order to reconstitute the yeast as gently as possible (and minimize/avoid any damage) yeast producers developed specific rehydration procedures. Although most dry beer yeast will work if pitched directly into wort, it is recommended to follow the rehydration instructions to insure the optimum performance of the yeast.
So basically, sprinkling dry yeast directly on the wort may work, but rehydration provides some insurance the yeast performs optimally. Some studies have demonstrated yeast viability is reduced by upwards of 50% when sprinkled on wort as compared to being rehydrated prior to pitching, which is meaningful for homebrewers who often rely on fairly specific estimates of pitching rates. What, if any, differences would there be between the same wort split then pitched with rehydrated yeast versus sprinkled with dry yeast?
To investigate the differences between dry yeast sprinkled directly on the wort and pitching rehydrated yeast.
I'd been interested in making a more traditional German style lager beer with Nottingham yeast fermented cool and thought Munich Dunkel seemed like a good fit. An 11 gallon batch of wort was produced and split between 2 fermentors.
This was one of those spur of the moment brew days that thankfully went off without a hitch. Toward the end of my 1 hour mash, just before running off the first portion of sweet wort, I threw the FWH charge of Mittelfrüh hops into the kettle. First wort hopping is a method I've been messing around with for a bit, I'm still torn as to the character it imparts as compared to more traditional bittering additions and have an exBEERiment planned to test it out.
The wort was boiled and chilled very quickly to 6°F above groundwater temp using my new Hydra IC from JaDeD Brewing (review coming soon).
I hit my target OG spot on according to both my hydrometer and refractometer.
Each carboy of wort was placed in my cool fermentation chamber to finish cooling, typical practice for me during the warmer months when I can't chill to pitching temps. It took about 4 hours for the wort to drop to 58°F. Before pitching, I rehydrated 1 sachet of yeast in 93.5°F water for 15 minutes then placed that slurry into the fermentation chamber until it dropped to within 10°F of the wort temp, this took about 20 minutes with regular swirling of the jar.
The rehydrated yeast was poured into one carboy while another sachet of Nottingham (same expiry date) was sprinkled directly into the other carboy. After about 12 hours, the dry pitch batch had what appeared to be a ring of small dry yeast globs and the rehydrated batch had some bubbles around the edge.
The only visible sign of fermentation at this point was the activity in the airlock, both burping about once every 10 seconds or so. The beers were looking very similar at 20, 36, and 60 hours post-pitch. On day 4, fermentation activity had slowed significantly and the krausen on the dry pitch batch fell before the rehydrated batch. Twelve hours later and all was looking the same again.
The temperature was ramped automatically per my hybrid fermentation profile on The Black Box controller. I took an initial gravity reading after a week in the fermentors.
My target FG was reached and remained at 1.013 in subsequent readings. After a gradual 4 day cold crash, it was time for packaging- again, no significant differences were observed at this point. I kegged and carbonated the beers as usual then they hung-out in my keezer for 2 weeks before they were evaluated.
Step 1: A piece of paper with a 3 shapes (triangle, square, star) was placed on a table.
Step 2: A clear plastic cup was placed on each shape.
Step 3: Prior to the participant entering the room, the dry pitch beer was added to 2 cups (square, star) and the rehydrated beer was added to 1 cup (triangle).
Step 4: Participants were then asked to enter the room and complete a brief online survey that asked them to consider which of the beers was different then choose 1 of 4 options: triangle, square, star, or no detectable difference.
Step 5: Once the participant submitted their response, they informed me (privately) what they chose-- those who were incorrect were dismissed and those who were correct were asked to complete a more detailed survey comparing the differences between only the 2 different beers while still blind to nature of the exBEERiment. At this point, the rehydrated beer was relabeled "Sample A" and the dry pitch beer became "Sample B."
While still not up to snuff for some of the more scientific folks, this setup worked much better than I anticipated, I definitely plan to continue using it in the future. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them. Now, onto the interesting stuff!
In all, 13 people participated in the sensory evaluation portion of this exBEERiment with only 5 accurately selecting the triangle as being the different beer. A single participant detected no differences while 4 experienced star as being different and the other 3 chose square. In sum, less than 40% of the participants, all of whom are experienced homebrewers and craft beer enthusiasts, were capable of discriminating a beer fermented with rehydrated yeast from one sprinkled with dry yeast.
Of the 5 participants who did accurately choose the different beer, the large majority went on to report essentially no difference between the dry pitch and rehydrated samples in terms of appearance.
Aromatically, 3 of the survey takers experienced the rehydrated beer as being more malty and the dry pitch beer as being more hoppy. Two participants perceived the rehydrated beer as having a stronger ester/phenol character, 1 selected the dry pitch and another detected no differences. Everyone described the aroma between the 2 beers as being only somewhat similar, with 3 preferring the dry pitch and 2 preferring the rehydrated beer.
In terms of malt flavor, 2 participants perceived the rehydrated beer as being more malty, 2 thought it was the dry pitch beer, and only 1 detected no differences. These results were the same when asked about hop flavor. Three people selected the rehydrated beer as having the better fermentation/yeast character and, again, only 1 detected no differences. The dry pitch beer was selected by 2 people as having more off-flavors while 2 people detected no differences. Four participants thought the flavor of the beers were somewhat similar and one experienced them as not at all similar. When asked which beer had the better overall flavor, 3 selected the dry pitch beer and 2 selected the rehydrated beer.
The majority of participants (3) selected the dry pitch beer as having better overall mouthfeel with only 1 preferring the rehydrated beer and 1 detecting no differences.
Three of the survey takers reported a general preference for the beer fermented with dry yeast sprinkled on the wort while the other 2 preferred the beer pitched with rehydrated dry yeast.
At the end of the survey, the 5 participants were informed of the nature of the exBEERiment then asked to select which beer they believed was fermented with rehydrated yeast. Three of the 5 people accurately selected Sample A.
I went into this exBEERiment from a place of ambivalence, not just because I've rarely used dry yeast, but in my experience both approaches to pitching have yielded at least moderately enjoyable beer. Based almost solely on information gleaned from homebrew podcasts, books, and blogs, I'd say my personal bias was skewed slightly toward the rehydrated beer as being the better of the 2. In fact, I've made rehydration of dry yeast a normal part of my routine over the last year as a result of this information. I had both beers served to me "blindly" multiple times and was consistently able to accurately determine which beer was which. Like some of the participants who made it past the triangle test, I perceived the rehydrated beer as being noticeably more malty and smoother than the dry pitch beer, which had what I can only describe as a subtle apple-like tartness, perhaps as a result of acetaldehyde from stressed yeast(?). I didn't notice any differences at all in appearance or mouthfeel and neither have any real significant flaws that I could pick up.
Will I continue to rehydrate dry yeast before pitching? Yeah, I think so, despite the fact less than half of the experienced beer drinkers (BJCP judges and Cicerone beer servers included) who participated in the triangle test were unable to accurately choose the beer that was different. Do I think sprinkling dry yeast directly onto wort is poor practice? Not anymore! Some people even seem to prefer whatever character they detected from the beer fermented in this manner. I do believe, though, that with higher OG comes increased risk of yeast off-flavor and that the insurance provided by rehydration may be of benefit. Or maybe not, who knows... I smell another exBEERiment in the works!
Nottingham fermented at 60°F produced a pretty damn crisp Munich Dunkel with no perceptible ale-like esters you might expect from a British yeast. While the beer is good, it is missing some of that lager character I get from other strains fermented cool, particularly WLP029. I do think there are certain styles that may lend themselves to this yeast a bit more than others, maybe a rich Doppelbock or a malty Baltic Porter. For the lighter lower OG styles, I'll stick with my go-to, WLP029.

I’m feeling pretty confident about this. It’s been nearly two-years coming, with lots of evil-villain-tying-a-maiden-to-the-train-tracks scenarios, but I think we might finally be getting a house. We have a contract (good). We just had the full-home inspection (good). There don’t seem to be many repairs to do (good). The bank says we’re cool (good).
Of course, this is the Knotty Family. We’ve had previous contracts in this city, which ended in either termites, wood rot, lying realtors, black mold of death or crazy ladies (bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad).
So you’ll understand my hesitation. The last inspection is Monday. The bug guy is coming. Please cross your fingers. And your toes. And the fingers and toes of your children, pets, spouse(s) and any imaginary friends or hallucinations you might have (I’m not here to judge).

Eveything is crossed!!!!! I love it! And yes, it is a lovely red brick yrn-holder!
