    George Washington Carver?

    About one-half of all edible peanuts poduced in the United States are used to make peanut butter and peanut spreads. By law and industry standard, any product labeled "peanut butter" in the U. S. must be at least 90% peanuts. The remaining 10% may be salt, sweetener and an emulsifier (hardened vegetable oil which prevents the peanut oil from separating and rising to the top).

    Other similar products which don't subscribe to the 90%/10% rule are labeled peanut spread. Many are reduced fat products with added vitamins and minerals. These standards are subscribed to by the industry to assure consumers of uniformly nutritious products.

    The ancient South American Indians were the first to make and eat peanut butter, and one of the peanut foods invented by Dr. George Washington Carver was similar to peanut butter. Historical reference has it, however, that peanut butter was invented by a physician in St. Louis about 1890 as a health food for the elderly. No one remembers the physician's name, although records show that in 1903 Ambrose W. Straub of St. Louis patented a machine to make peanut butter. Also during that period (1895), Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (of breakfast cereal fame) patented the process of making peanut butter for the patients at his Battle Creek Sanitarium, a health food retreat in Michigan.

    Basically, all peanut butter is made by a similar process. First the raw, shelled peanuts are roasted and cooled, then the skins are removed (blanched.) Some manufacturers split the kernels and remove the heart of the peanut as well. The hearts can be saved to make peanut oil and the skins left over from blanching can be sold for animal feed. The blanched peanut kernels are electronically sorted or hand picked one last time to be sure only good, wholesome kernels are used in peanut butter.

    Commercial peanut butter is made very similar to our old fashioned home cooked recipe. The peanuts are ground, usually through two grinding stages, to produce a smooth, even-textured butter. The peanuts are heated during the grinding to about 170 degrees F . Once the emulsifiers are added and mixed, the butter is cooled rapidly to 120 degrees F or below. This crystallizes the emulsifiers, thus trapping the peanut oil that was released by the grinding. To make chunky peanut butter, peanut granules are added to the creamy peanut butter. The peanut butter is then packed into containers for sale at stores.

    Well, 5 hours of downtime in 29 hours isn't terrible, yet. The clock is still ticking.

    Lolz. I hope this doesn't become the reality. I feel bad for the folks who got lifetime subs. They should be allowed a refund.

    I got a lifetime sub - I have the rest of my life to play :)

    No. That's a ruse, a ploy. It only wants you to think it's in the server room. It's actually in the airing cupboard! Sneaky things servers....

    How do you change ship name using the NX designation?

    I believe you have to wait until you get the retail code tie to that pre-order bonus to be able to activate it.

    On another note, Anyone near A Del Taco or have codes for any of their content? There is only one Del Taco in all of OHIO. It is in Toledo, I am in Columbus.

    Damien, I'm pretty sure there are two Del Tacos in Chilocothe. It's like maybe a 30 min drive for you.

    You know ST was free from religious overtones and so should your signature. Spread it elsewhere..

    My sig is my own business - unless you are against Freedom, it shouldn't bother you in the least.

    I, for one live in America - and though it isn't as Free was it was - it still is now - so suck it up and deal with it.

    People who complain about others having beliefs are so weak, I love it when they act like little babies because someone is not afraid to be open about what they believe.

    Aside from that - I am totally loving STO, it's a real major plus to have this option when gaming indeed! :)

    Does anyone here have any actual knowledge of gaming server upkeep and maintenance and have any guess as to what is going on?

    I do... their server isn't being kept up. :p
    Seriously, being "in the field" (as I suspect many of us are) leads me to believe this has nothing to do with servers, but rather software... which doesn't bode well, but explains the ridiculously long period of time for server "maintenance" during such a crtical time.

    If we are lucky, maybe the server will be back online by monday. If those morons at cryptic would bring more servers online, this would not be a problem. Just goes to show how stupid they are at only having ONE server.
