Uh-oh...best cheesesteak debate territory! This could go on and on! (Not that talking about sandwiches forever is a bad thing...)
A former Philadelphian myself, that's one thing that I love about cheesesteaks -- that many of the best come from those little hole-in-the-wall places. I never got to try it, but I remember when some highly rated cheesesteaks used to come out of Grilladelphia, the restaurant that was in the Exxon station at York and Aramingo.
I haven't checked it since I bought my car in 2003. Unless you are using and needing credit or know you have credit issues, I can't see paying to get your score.
The thing about freeze-concentration is that it concentrates everything—alcohol, sugar, flavor. So the main limit is that at some point the flavors get over-strong. Happily, it's easy to control and to fix: Keep freezing and throwing away the ice until it gets the way you want it, then stop. If you go a little too far, just add a little water to get it back to the way you like it.
Freeze concentrating will concentrate the methanol if any is present. But if you've just fermented apple juice, you're not going to have any significant quantity of methanol.
Perhaps the best thing about this technique is that it's free, at least in the winter. Just leave a barrel outdoors in the cold, and throw away the ice that forms overnight.
I was drinking a cold glass of OJ when I read this.. fml. I couldn't finish it. And, I kind of felt like a bad person when I got to the end of your article when it woke about facial structure. I'm pregnant. Good read. I definitely learned something. I wish we had more access to "good" food. Seems like unless you grow it and pick it yourself, it is not as easy to to find the stuff that is better for you and not break the bank account. Thanks.
we have been making simple cider here (in amsterdam) what's called hard cider in the US. . . .
we then placed a bottle in the freezer overnight. . .partially unfroze it the next morning, removed a lot of the remaining ice and bottled the liquid that came off. . . . it looks and smells fine. .
two questions:
* is there any limit to how many times we can do this -- how high an alcohol content can we get?
* are there any methanol or other dangers at all with this process?
I know I'm late on responding, just found this because I was trying to google why the playatmcd website was down. I'll avoid putting anyone down, but it's just like Deal or No Deal. If you pick 1 case out of 26 cases, your odds of having the $1 million (or any specific amount) is always 1 in 26, just because you find out what the other cases are later in the game doesn't change the odds. So in the Monty Hall question, you always have a 1 in 3 chance of picking the winner and a 2 in 3 chance of picking a dud, despite having a door opened. Think of it this way, the odds of getting heads in a coin flip is always 1 in 2 (ok if you're too technical 1 in 2.0000000000000009 because the coin could land on the side and be neither head nor tails, but ignore that.) But the odd of getting heads 20 in a row is over 1 in a million. So if you flipped the coin and got 19 heads in a row, the odds of the 20th coin flip being head doesn't change, it's still 1 in 2.
Well, I USED to know it. Two years ago, it was 799. I was told to cancel my unused credit card accounts to boost it. It's now at a 740. Who knows what it is today.
I check my credit score once or twice a year. More importantly, I check my credit report 3 times a year for anything I don't recognize.
There are 3 credit reporting agencies that have to each give you one free report per year, so I have Google Calendar remind me which report to request when.
Ben, i suggest you check on TouristEye.com, it is the easiest and most powerful travel guide for web and mobile. You have to check our gorgeous trip planner and our recommendation engine. We suggest you places and destinations based on your previous trips, your friends and the average opinion. The user interface is really well done, as said by many users, bloggers, journalists and entrepreneurs :)
I do not know my score. I print my free credit report from the 3 reporting agencies each year (one per quarter) so I can stay alert to any changes or potential problems. But I have never wanted to pay the $7 fee to get my score. I guess I'm a cheapskate. :-)
So right on the ridiculous "outgrowing" thing. Many of us would _like_ more space, but seriously most people in the world have less space than my family of 5, and we are in 1400 square feet, no finished basement. Totally normal anywhere but suburban America in 2011.
My favorite memory was at the end of Pat Flynn's presentation when we all put our hands up and he told us to reach higher. I thought that was really clever, yet not too tacky, and it was a great message.
I also enjoyed the "Extreme Frugality" video from Ramit. I had never seen it before, and I thought it was hilarious!
I found that DG brand double roll tissue is just as soft as my use to be brand angel soft.Instead of buying alot of sweets I bake them from scratch even chocolate candy made from chocolate flavored almond bars. I wait until cvs has a .88 sale on Palmolive liqiud ech bottle last about a month the pink one is my fav. my splurge every so often is forrer rocher hazelnut mmmmmm once a month husband and i have a night out at least. Or when the kids are at grandmas house twice a month I exhale and enjoy the quiet and watch my ghost adventures or paranormal shows without any interruption.
Nice article. I checked out Gtrot - it doesn't look like it suggests places to go based on friends check ins. It only shows which friends live there and which friends have visited that city. Kind of nice, but not what you described.
Aww, you guys are too nice. Scrivener is a wicked good tool for writing ebooks and other large projects. I think I was their biggest advocate at the conference and recommended it to about 20 people.

So far my batch has lasted a week or so, and apart from the occasional spruce up with water, it seems fine. I'll let you know.

Mmmm... nice Frugal lunch tips, so much better than buying fast food. Thanks for the ideas.
Hi Susan (comment) - check out myTab.co now and also Oct 19th when we've upgraded our design. Love to hear your thoughts :)
Indeed I do!
I haven't checked it in the past year, but last time I did it was good. Yay!
That poor cat looks really bitter. Foil as torture device?

Yes I check my scores every year.
Nope.

Gogobot seems more interesting.
