			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beer drinkers have been around for centuries but modern day guzzlers have long forgotten the old world units of measure used in  beer and wine making. The quarter barrel of beer today holds about 7.5 US gallons, but it&#8217;s earlier volume was equal to one &#8220;<a title="Definintion of firkin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firkin" target="_blank">Firkin&#8221;</a>, which is the old English  unit of measure for 1/4 of a barrel.  In the old days one barrel was about 32 to 36 US gallons depending upon if it was beer or ale, so a Firkin barrel would equal about 8 to 9 gallons, a bit more than  half a gallon more than today&#8217;s volume.<br />
What did they call a half barrel? it&#8217;s a &#8220;Kilderkin&#8221; of course! A Kilderkin is equal to two Firkins, you gettin&#8217; this all? A barrel is just a barrel, but add half a barrel to a barrel and you get a &#8220;Hogshead&#8221; and the crazy names don&#8217;t stop there, if you have four and a half barrels now you&#8217;ve got a &#8220;Butt&#8221;! Finally, about 8 barrels (7 7/8ths) is known as a &#8220;Tun&#8221;.</p>
<p>So now when  it&#8217;s party time, you&#8217;ll know how to roll out the Firkin Barrel!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fire Safety Cigarettes:</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1804" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 198px"><a href="http://www.barplan.com/blog/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fsc_cigarettes_pic.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1804" title="fsc_cigarettes_pic" src="http://www.barplan.com/blog/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fsc_cigarettes_pic-188x300.jpg" alt="Notice the FSC Label" width="188" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Notice the FSC Label</p></div>
<p>Fire safety cigarettes are coming and may already be on your store shelves. It&#8217;s just one more way for the government to step in to interfere in our lives in a futile attempt to protect a small percentage of lazy, stupid people from burning themselves alive and the new FSC brand of cigarettes  suck, literally!</p>
<p>What started in New York in 2004 and has now spread to at least 21 other states through advocates who have bypassed getting fire safe cigarette legislation passed through Congress, instead going directly to the states using the <a title="Coalition for fire safe cigarettes" href="http://www.firesafecigarettes.org" target="_blank">Coalition for Fire Safe Cigarettes</a>. Now we can all drink heavily and pass out in bed with a lit cigarette and feel safe.</p>
<p>As on man interviewed said &#8220;People that smoke in bed should have been cleansed from the gene pool anyway, now we&#8217;ll have to put up with them&#8221;.  According to the <a title="Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" href="http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/statesystem/" target="_blank">CDC smoking will kill you</a> too, but in <a title="Marketwatch" href="http://www.marketwatch.com/" target="_blank">today&#8217;s bright &amp; cheery economy</a>, I think many people smoke to cope with their newly discovered sub-standard life style in an attempt at a <a title="death by smoking stats" href="http://whyquit.com/whyquit/A_DeathStatisticsTable.html" target="_blank">slow suicide</a> to avoid having to work until they&#8217;re 90.</p>
<p><strong>So what sucks about FSC cigarettes?</strong> YOU! You literally have to suck you ass off to get  a decent drag from the cigarette. Nobody told me about the FSC changeover, but already I was noticing something odd about my cigarettes. They tasted a bit different, probably due to the extra strips of (chemically treated?) paper added to extinguish the fire. So, unless you just hotbox a smoke, any time you take a break to talk or perhaps breathe, the cig immediately starts to go out, so when you take another drag, you have to huff &amp; puff to get it started again. By the time I finished several smokes, my cheeks were getting sore from all the sucking. It&#8217;s enough to make you quit smoking altogether&#8230;.which is perhaps their REAL goal.</p>
<p>I can think of better things for the state governments to interfere in;  how about cell phone usage in cars? I&#8217;m sure that kills many more people than dying in a house fire because of a lit cigarette. How about FSC candles and gas stoves that go out before your Spaghetti-O&#8217;s are warm? How about making dud bullets to give you a second chance when trying to commit suicide or shooting your neighbor? (BTW, I&#8217;m just joking about the last suggestion &#8211; suicide sucks)</p>
<p>What can you do about this sneaky new law? <a title="Repeal fire safety cigarettes" href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/repeal-fire-safe-cigarette-laws" target="_blank">Click here to sign a petition to get it repealed</a>, but be sure to leave a comment on your feelings about fire safety cigarettes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Browser speed and reliabilty may be one factor that determines if someone either loves or hates the web.<br />
Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer has never been a great performer, well maybe IE version 6 was faster, but IE version 7 put on the brakes by adding many security checks that some experts say are poorly implemented. Now IE version 8 is lumbering onto the scene with more features and much fatter than previous versions.<br />
Apparently this bloated version is intended to run on Vista, but it&#8217;s resource hungry footprint is sure to bog down even powerful dual core systems. IE 8 eats enormous amounts memory, gobbling 350-400Mb per serving and requires 150-200 concurrent execution threads and 6 servings of iexplore.exe discrete process instances.  To top it all off, Internet Explorer 8 is twice as demanding as Firefox.</p>
