Brewtrackr lets you keep a running tally of your favorite beers - IPL Beauty Machine

I'm not big on to-do lists (or lists in general), but I keepone list updated pretty religiously: my favorite and leastfavorite beers. I'll try just about any locally brewed ornew craft beer I haven't had before, and my biggest problemisn't remembering which ones I've tried, it'sremembering which ones I've actually liked and which ones Iwant to avoid in the future. Until recently, I'd kept two separate task lists insideGmail. One's called "Beers I Like" and theother's called you guessed it "Beers IDon't Like". Lipo Laser Slimming Machine

Each time I came across a beer I'dhad before, I'd pull up each list to check whether I liked itor not the first time I had it. ( MORE: Hold My Calls, I m Working from the Brew Cave Today ) The problem with this, of course (aside from having two lists), isthat there's no gray area. Beers I sort of liked or sort ofdidn't like never made either list. Or sometimes they'dmake a list and the next time I ordered a particular beer,I'd wonder why I'd put it on whichever list I'dput it on. IPL Beauty Machine

In the interest of creating a more robust system for myself, Istarted using a new web app called BrewTrackr . It's basically a personal list of beers you can cobbletogether, rating each beer on a scale from one to five and leavingcomments for yourself with tasting notes. There are no dedicated apps for iPhone or Android yet the team says they're in development but the mobile web version of BrewTrackr has thankfully beenbuilt with quick access in mind. It's been far lesscumbersome than pulling up Gmail task lists, at least, thoughI'll most likely use the dedicated apps once they'reready

Tippecanoe school corporation deploys first blue birdpropane-powered school buses in indiana

Tippecanoe School Corporation Deploys First Blue BirdPropane-Powered School Buses in Indiana TIPPECANOE SCHOOL CORPORATION DEPLOYS FIRST BLUE BIRDPROPANE-POWERED SCHOOL BUSES IN INDIANA FORT VALLEY, Ga. (May 11, 2012) -- With the school year coming to aclose, Tippecanoe School Corp. (TSC) in Lafayette, Ind., is gearingup to teach students, parents and administrators the benefits ofclean, safe and economical propane autogas with the deployment ofthe state's five Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision school busesprior to summer break. "We live in a farming community, and our neighbors know thatpropane is a safe, reliable and environmentally friendlyalternative to gasoline and diesel," said Kevin Neafie,transportation director of TSC, the second-largest school districtin Indiana.

"TSC opened the doors to communication between everyoneinvolved in our adoption of propane autogas. Our drivers are onboard knowing they have a bus that is more comfortable and quieterto drive; our community is on board knowing the children aretransported safely and their taxpayer dollars are being stretchedfurther; and the district is on board knowing everyone involved isbenefiting from the switch." TSC worked with three key organizations to purchase the alternativefuel buses: Blue Bird dealer MacAllister Power Systems, propanedistributor Ferrellgas, and the Energy Department's Greater IndianaClean Cities. The deal was practically debt-free to TSC due to a$52,600 grant from the Indiana Office of Energy Development and thesupport of community business owners, who donated services duringthe installation of a 1,000-gallon propane refueling station forthe buses. The county plans to install an additional refueling tankin the near future. "The Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision is the right, affordablechoice for any school system looking to be environmentally andfiscally responsible," said Phil Horlock, president and CEO of BlueBird Corporation.

"Tippecanoe School Corporation will be a thrivingexample of the benefits of using American-made propane autogas.With the array of financial assistance available through grants andincentives, purchasing the Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision, or ourpropane-fueled 30-passenger Micro Bird Type A bus, is even easierand more affordable." TSC's 78-passenger Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision buses meets allapplicable School Bus Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards,Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Boardcertifications, and uses the latest advancements in propanetechnology, including the ROUSH CleanTech liquid propane autogasfuel system and the Ford 6.8-liter engine. "It's exciting to see Tippecanoe School Corporation make the movetoward propane autogas, following what the state of Indiana'sDepartment of Transportation has done with the installation of 115refueling dispensers across the state," said Todd Mouw, vicepresident of sales and marketing at ROUSH CleanTech. "Schooldistrict adoption of this technology is a natural next step in thestate's push toward alternative fuels, specifically propaneautogas." As diesel prices bump against the $4.00 mark, the cost for TSCschool bus drivers to fill up with propane autogas is $1.94 pergallon. These cost savings free up funding to be allocated towardother programs to enrich the community's school children. Laserpoint Vinyl Cutter

Thesecost benefits are matched by the eco-benefits of propane autogas.
