I was referring to the MSR Sweetwater purification drops, not the filter. It's a little confusing that they gave two products the same name.

It looks like the drops have gone up to $15 per bottle. Still very much worth it, in my opinion.

More locals to support is good.

But hopefully it's not crafty - http://business.time.com/2012/12/27/trouble-brewi...

Native keystone species, versus aggressive invasive species. These two things are not equivalent.

I find it difficult to understand why anyone would agree. A friendly dog greets an aggressive dog, and it's the friendly dog's fault? That makes no sense at all. As has been said elsewhere, dogs are social animals by nature. One dog attacking the other is not at all a normal response.

If I had an aggressive dog, the first thing I would do is invest in some training.

Prior to, and while that dog is in training, I would avoid any situations that are likely to set it off. If other dogs greeting it are going to bring out the aggression, than the logical and thing to do is to avoid situations where it's likely to meet other dogs. I definitely wouldn't take it where other dogs are off leash. And in areas where all dogs are on leash, I would warn other people and dogs from a long distance, and step off to the side so they can go by.

I thought the same thing. Service at the Tea House has been remarkably bad for as long as I've been going there.

Service is perfectly fine at Aji, Leaf and Huckleberry so I don't know why they can't seem to figure it out at the Tea House.

*pedantry* If he is able to say that he felt a shock, he was not electrocuted. Electrocution is death caused by an electric shock.

"Boulder County emergency crews are responding this afternoon to reports of a truck driver who may have been electrocuted...'He felt (the current), or sensed it and got out of the truck,' Williams said."

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted. You're right, Franklin was talking about wine. Here's the actual quote which came from a letter to Morellet.

"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."

It has already been repeated. The same results were found independently by two teams.

It is a 4.9 sigma signal at 125 GeV, so the probability of it being errant data is less than one in a million. It's not quite 5 sigma, which is what they are really going for, but the accumulation of additional data should net that result.

Additionally, looking back at data previously gathered with Tevatron (Fermilab's now-retired particle accelerator) there was a 2.9 sigma bump in the data in that range. So not only is it two separate teams that have seen this, but two different accelerators with different sets of detectors that have seen it.

I went four or five times. It was always a solid choice and good addition to the Boulder restaurant scene - friendly staff, good food, great beer selection. I'll miss it.

Sadly, while some schools were built, many have never been staffed. The number of schools built is unknown at this point, but is much smaller than what could have been done with the money if it was managed properly.
