Drinkim is one of Caldey's galaxy of exotically named bays and beaches. Sandy Bay, Sandtop Bay, Red Berry Bay, Bullum's Bay, Paul Jones Bay and Priory Bay give the explorer a wide choice of a place to picnic, bathe, play games or simply bask in the sun. Drinkim Bay is accessible via boat, leaving Tenby and landing on Caldey Island. As soon as the visitor steps off the boat at the jetty in Priory Bay on Caldey Island, the beautiful golden sands stretching over to the east invite a visit. The sand is so soft and deep, it is a pleasure to walk on and the temptation to build a sand castle is irresistible.
The name Drinkim Bay - has it got Norse associations like so many place names around this coast, including Caldey itself? Has it anything to do with the fact that this coast at one time was swarming with pirates and smugglers, who were evidently dealing in drink of all kinds? Not even the local historians seem to be able to put their finger on a plausible answer.
The 12th century priest and writer Giraldus Cambrensis (Gerald the Welshman), who was born at Manorbier, is said to have built castles and maybe even cathedrals on these sands and the beaches across the water in Tenby. Cathedrals were something he was interested in from an early age, it is said, as he aspired in later life to become Bishop of St Davids, an ambition thwarted by King John. Gerald, who at different times was Rector of Tenby and Archdeacon of Brecon, went into the priesthood despite the fact that his family was fiercely military.
Most people, when visiting Caldey by way of the frequent boat service which plies from Tenby Harbour from Easter to October, take the well trodden path into the village, dominated by the imposing white-walled Abbey with its red roof and Italianate architecture. It is an enchanting experience, like being transported back in time to a Mediterranean monastic settlement.
There is more to Caldey than the Abbey. There is the post office and gift shop, museum. tea gardens and tearooms, most of which sell products made by the enterprising monks who generate revenue by selling their home-made perfumes and delicious chocolate, yoghurt and icecream. The walk to the lighthouse is a popular one, taking the visitor past the old Priory, St Illtyd's Church and the farm in a further step backwards through time.
The view across Carmarthen Bay from the lighthouse and the cliffs overlooking Drinkim Bay is breathtaking, with Lundy Island and the hazy outline of the Somerset and North Devon coasts on clear days. Caldey is a paradise for the photographer or sketcher. When the island farm was rented out at the turn of the last century, Drinkim Bay was kept as the exclusive right of the landlord, Rev W. Done Bushell, who bought the island in 1897.

Heading out from LA, back to Orange County on Friday Aug 22, I thought about lunch. I was on Robertson Blvd, in the Trendy part of town at Beverly. But I didn't know whether to Stop, or Go.
It was a bright, cheery, yet peaceful day on Robertson. Ladies gathered at crosswalks as they waited for lights, people talked on their phones undoubtedly carrying on important business, and others strolled and shopped.
I checked out the Ivy and there was the usual cadre of Rolls Royce's, and Bentleys.
Then I spotted it. A plethora of color and fabric swirling amongst legs and arms. Marching up the street a handful of ladies and dare I spot one fella. Decked out in Costumes befitting the finest in hip hop and street wear.
Quite a contrast to the elegance of the Chanel store and others along the Boulevard. I sensed the sedate serenity of the street, was about to change.
Gathering at the corner of Alden, and when I saw the Boom Box I Knew !!!! FASHION MOB
Marching across the street....in perfect synchronicity, the gaggle of dancers and models paraded up Robertson to Beverly, across the street, and Back down.
Fashion Designer Evey and her group of local hip hop dancers and models marched and danced up and down Robertson Blvd. I could see in my head were swirls of fabric and color, the energy of the movement, and what was that...Christmas ornaments' and Santa Clause
It was over then. Quickly. The "troupe" gathered at the end of the street to congratulate themselves. I had to rush, back to Orange County. In my head I was still questioning what I saw...swirling Santa Clause's and Christmas Ornaments'. Maybe I needed one for the Road. Ice Tea Please.
And Robertson Boulevard went back to its peaceful self.

It's no surprise that RIM is slacking when it comes to their devices. Just on Verizon you had the fail of of the first generation Storm, the defective Tour's and defective screens with the newer generation Storm 2's. RIM is more worried about taking previous devices and adding a track pad and a few more megs of memory and calling it a new device then they are about addressing the main issues consumers are having. Web browsing and applications. When it comes to web browsing, the iPhone and Android devices are walking all over RIM. It is rumored that in June RIM is to introduce a new web browser for surfing the internet on the BlackBerry devices. Should we be expecting anything great or jaw dropping that could get back some of their fans that they lost to the Android? In my honest opinion, 99% of BlackBerry users have lost the excitement when RIM states they are coming out with something new. And they have no one to blame but themselves.
PCMag writer is quoted "..consumers want the same experience on their smartphones as they have on their personal computers." BlackBerry fails in that department. Actually I have to correct myself, computers do freeze and lock and you have to restart it more often then you would like. BlackBerry devices are the same way, so they do have that connection. But what causes a computer to freeze and have to be restarted? Yes, the operating software, just like it is with the BlackBerry phones. The area that RIM is lacking in. The writer goes on to say "The iPhone and the Android platforms provide a far, far better web and apps experience than the BlackBerry". RIM which still holds its strong position with business users, are trying to break into the market that the iPhone and Android devices are holding strong in. As time passes it becomes more clear that they (RIM) can not make the transition. To consumers in North America, it seems RIM is failing and not going to make a come back but in reality, RIM is growing larger and larger.
So what does a company do when they are losing the game in one area? RIM decided to flee and start expanding in areas of the world where they can win over consumers and claim they are growing rapidly. The BlackBerry Bold 2 and the 8520 are being called the Dynamic Duo by Broadpoint AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie. These two devices are a huge hit and continuing its international growth in Europe and India. He also goes on to state that RIM needs to come up with something more compelling if they want to compete with the iPhone. Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum states that even though RIM's operating software lags behind Apple, Android and Palm in consumer features, he believes that's less important in the international markets where there's untapped opportunity for mobile e-mail. He also goes on and says "We believe the rapid growth of the smartphone market coupled with RIM's focus on international markets should drive unit growth, offsetting potential share loss to Apple and Android in North America,"
While we complain about RIM and think they are digging their graves by not coming out with anything new to compete with these other devices, they (RIM) are actually going to be growing even larger and could be at a decent rate since they are focusing now on international growth. What do you guys think about this?

My recent column on the impending demolition along Pomona's Second Street resulted in a reader e-mail that looks to be as long, if not longer, than the column that inspired it.
It's full of well-observed details from a childhood spent in Pomona. The author gave his name only as Keith. As it's too long to use in print, at least in full, here's the whole thing, lowercase typing and all:
"mr. allen,
"read your sunday missive on second street in pomona. you brought up the ghosts of my childhood; i am 53 and have lived in the southeastern corner of pomona all my life [cepting college at ou [oklahoma] ; graduated from garey high [that year was the first year minorities in the pomona school system outnumbered anglos; times have changed!]. also attended alcott [when it was one brick building and 2 rows of classrooms] elementary and was in the first 3-year class at simons jr. high. it was great having everything from desks to books brand new.
"i watched the mall being built. my mother worked in the orange belt emporium [2nd and garey, ne corner] . my mother was old school; she never had a driver's license; pomona in those days had a wonderful bus system, a cloverleaf pattern of 4 routes that canvassed the four corners of town, meeting on garey between second and third; i knew most of the bus drivers by name.
"my father worked in town also, at pomona valley creamery which was bought out by arden farms [se corner reservoir and 5th]; eventually bought out by knudsen which closed the pomona dairy forcing dad to drive to san bernardino til he retired in 1980; mother lasted til orange belt closed and was razed. she didn't really have to work but her money bought an awful lot of extra and nice things.
"pep boys anchored the mall at park avenue. beamons was where i bought [dad bought] all my sporting goods til i left for college [baseball gloves, shoes, basketball and football shoes, bats, etc.]. i played in the american little league at washington park [there was only one field and home plate was 180 degrees from present site; field had sunken dugouts]; there was a fast pitch men's industrial league on the softball field back then, pony league and 4+ years of american legion at ralph welch park [also vastly changed ]. do you know that ted williams, duke snider and jackie robinson to name a few played at the original welch field during the easter elks 20/30 high school baseball tournament; at one time the biggest of its kind in socal?
"i lived at the washington plunge in the summer when it wasn't a game day or i was at the ymca. the y had a youth program after school on tuesday, thursday, and saturday mornings. swimming three days a week; it didn't get any better for a kid; they had trampolines also. [sidelight — tramatic experience for a kid; i saw my first naked man in the locker room at the ymca — what a SHOCK.]
"sorry to digress. our family lawyer had an office in the stately bank building still standing. john p. evans was where i got my simons jr. high letterman's sweater [back then 9th grade played the 4 sports at the jr. high level; jr. high being 7th, 8th and 9th grades] and where i bought my garey letterman's jacket. it was a special present indeed to unwrap and see ewarts or john p. evans on the box lid. wright bros. and rice, a furniture store just off the mall next door to the old ua theatre, was where my parents bought all their furniture.
"thriftys and woolworths both had soda fountains; thriftys had a coffee shop in back; my father and i would eat there friday nites waiting for mom and waiting for the orange belt to close – the one nite it stayed open til nine [cepting xmas season] — the other 5 days it closed at 5:30; closed sundays.
"there was a pool hall in the basement around the corner from woolworths. as a young tot my older brother [by 14 years] would babysit me there by sitting me in the corner while he played "snooker" [a forgotten game].
"on the nw corner of garey and second was an orange julius; they had hot dogs also. it was the der weinerschnitzel of its time with mustard dogs and relish dogs and onion dogs.
"eating at badons [on garey between second and third] was a treat. the apex cafe [between third and fourth] on garey was my father's favorite; it could be called a "greasy spoon"; they had the best chili. the lawson bros barber shop across from the mayfair on third cut my hair for over 20 years; there were 3 brothers, stan, jack and bob. of course you know all about the fox theatre. at fourteen i kissed my first girl in the balcony of the fox during "the love bug."
"frasiers, next door to the orange belt, was the stationery store in town. another relic of times past, mission pack, set up shop on the mall at xmas time selling fruit baskets for mailing to family and friends. hamilton drugs and kress sat opposite one another; kress had a soda fountain and grill also. payless, see's candies and larry wellins jewelers were farther east; i have no recollection of the many "women's" shops on the mall. i did leave out ewarts on the west side; like evans it was out of my family's price range, besides, mom got a discount at the orange belt.
"i worked saturdays at the belt as a kid in the marking room for $1 a day. the owners, the rothschilds, were very kind people. mrs. rothschild would give me a twenty for my birthday and at christmas [most definitely old school store owners]. they knew all their their employees. the store even had an attendant-operated elevator. larry wellins was a family friend also and a big supporter of youth baseball in pomona; sponsoring the american legion team, post 30, called the larry wellins Gems.
"past that to the east where the college now sits was jc penneys, rod, gun and hobby, the toy store, robby's restaurant, fedway, two banks, mcmahans furniture and the last addition to the mall, buffums. rod and gun also sold athletic equipment. the toy store was "model" heaven. in the 8th grade i bought my first "going steady" ring in fedway for $1.
"the christmas parade used second street every year [a choice spot to watch the parade was atop one of the many planters] and once a year a carnival set up shop on the mall. i am amazed that the fountains on the mall still work after 40+ years.
"one other store to mention not on the mall: just east of the corner of san antonio and 5th, on the south side, was the model shop — TOY TRAIN HEAVEN! got my first lionel train set there and later my first ho scale train set. the building wasn't 20 feet wide but it was kid heaven. they also carried all the model cars and planes and ships.
"the treasure chest was just off the mall to the north on palomares; it was the town newsstand, the one place in town with an "adult only" section. try as i might i never could sneak into that section. i had to be satisfied with the vast comic racks he had. it was a smoke shop also.
"pomona was a one-stop family town. the butka family clinic was the family doctor on commercial next to the ymca and the weiss dental clinic was behind the 1st baptist church on holt, next to stanyer and edmonson tires where dad got all his tires.
"trophy king trophies and awards on holt just east of garey was also a big supporter of youth baseball in town, sponsoring the town's connie mack summer baseball team, a rival league to american legion.
"greens delicatessen [now the pawn shop on holt and park] had a coffee shop and they made the world's best old-style beef dips wrapped in paper to carry out.
"digangis grinders farther west [across from st. josephs] had the area's best grinders [everything made fresh]; mr. digangi was a very nice person also. and farther west on holt was the original espiaus mexican restaurant, back then just a counter and a few booths.
"the one 'fancy' restaurant we ate at was the betsy ross on holt just east of reservoir. they served excellent fish and chips and a boy's dream for dessert, the "washington monument" ice cream sundae.
"one more 'kid heaven' business: coates bicycle shop on second street just east of towne avenue. i went through 4 bicycles bought from them. [one of my best christmas presents was a schwinn stingray with the banana seat, slick rear wheel and wheelie bar back rest.] my friends and i rode our bikes all over town without fear of any neighborhood [even riding out to puddingstone lake to fish].
"we had a corner market, market spot [corner towne and philadelphia] that had butchers. the biggest so-called 'super' market in town was mcdonalds up on north garey. hughes and that plaza didn't come along til later after they tore down what remained of the old pomona high which burned in 1956.
"i guess the coming of montclair plaza killed off the downtown mall and the indian hill plaza with sears and newberrys. i think the coming of women's lib changed the family and town dynamics also.
"i can't leave out mentioning the helms bakery truck that came through the neighborhood daily with fresh bread and those chocolate covered donuts, as well as the good humor man and his white truck and uniform and those jingling bells.
"pomona will always be home to me though now i doubt if i spend $10 a year in its city limits. i go to chino hills or chino now for almost everything. i hate crowds and do most shopping by mail order or internet.
"sorry for being long-winded and straying off the mall a bit. they say you can never go home again, but like the twilight zone episode 'willoughby,' one can always go home again in one's mind; it's always a sweet, though sad, journey.
"thank you for keeping the fading memories alive and for sparking mine,
Let's give Keith a round of applause, and maybe chip in to buy him some capital letters. If there's anything left to say, post away below, readers.

Rapper Eve and her new husband Maximillion Cooper have thanked fans for their messages of congratulations following their weekend wedding in Ibiza, Spain.
Eve, 35, exchanged vows with British Gumball 3000 race founder Cooper at Blue Marlin on Cala Jondal Beach on Saturday, days after the 2014 edition of the supercar rally came to a conclusion in the Spanish clubbing mecca.
Dance DJ Steve Aoki broke the news to his Twitter.com followers shortly after the nuptials took place, and now Eve and Cooper have confirmed the news in a joint statement, which reads: "We are beyond happy to celebrate our marriage with all of our friends and family and start our journey in our new life together.
"It's been such an amazing experience and we are happier than we ever thought we could be. Thanks for the well wishes."
Eve reportedly wore a white bejewelled Alice Temperley dress as she walked down the aisle.
The marriage is the hip-hop star's first and Cooper's second. The 41-year-old entrepreneur has four children from his first marriage.
The couple met at the 2010 Gumball 3000 race and became engaged on Christmas Day last year.

Our friends at The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee have a story we think is worth sharing. You should read the entire thing, but here is a brief overview of the heartwarming events:
Graham, the adorable kitty featured to the left, was in need of a new forever home. Laurie of The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee brought Graham to the home of a friend and neighbor who'd expressed some interest in adopting a cat but needed to be sure that Graham would get along with Melvin, their other cat. Upon arriving in the home, Graham and Melvin became the best of buds, and Laurie hatched a surprise plan...
The next night, Laurie wrapped Graham's carrier up and brought him back to her friends' house. There, she presented the family with the gift of Graham. This was a complete surprise to the children who, as you can see, were ecstatic.
Sweetest Christmas miracle ever!!!

I didnt like the sky crawler, I found it slow and dull.
And I can't understand why the hell funimation and Manga UK licensed that series, as i can't see it sell at all. :S
One Piece was good before Vivi left, in my opinion.
Naruto and Bleach are soooo long, I find myself drifting out of them due to boredom.
MAR has annoying fillers.
Spiral Anime was short and confusing, but it was ok
Any anime with no plot and full on moe-fanservice things are total turn offs.
Overall, I prefer Manga than Anime
I hate all that lolicon moe rubbish, and basically anything that has anything like a harem or is based around love stories.
Le Chavelier D'Eon. (Butchered that probably). Awkward after a certain point for me to watch.SPOILER: (highlight to read)The fate of many in this show, not sure why I found it awkward.
All gundam series.
all romance ones
harem ones
I hate InuYasha, Naruto, and DBZ.

Rogerian Argument Topics
Rogerian Argument Topics
Rogerian Argument is a form of essay that focuses on solving problems by acknowledging the opposing point of view and firmly convincing the audience to your point of view. There are various ways to present your case or argumentation about a certain topic. The Rogerian argument topics look for ways to find common grounds and come to a consensus rather than stir a challenging debate. I have made a guide and jot down a few points that will help you with your Rogerian argument topics, as well as facilitate you to come in common terms with your reader or adversary and persuade him or her to your perspective of the argument.
You should begin your Rogerian argument topic by discovering the common grounds of the topic that you share with your opponent. You should know and understand your adversaries and their argumentation on the specific topic, so you can develop your counter-arguments properly. Also, like in any debate, you need to start off with being crystal clear on what you represent.

DBConvert/ DBSync for Access and Microsoft SQL Server are powerful cross database migration tools for upsizing and synchronization of Access x86/x64 data to MS SQL Server.
DMSoft DBSync for Access and MSSQL 4.1.2 | 43 Mb
Generally the number concurrent users for an Access database is limited to maximum of 10-20 users. Access does not provide the level of security and reliability that SQL Server does. Besides, Microsoft said, that the MS Jet Database Engine that is used in MS Access, has entered a state of functional deprecation. They recommend using MS SQL Server Express or MS SQL Server Compact Editions instead for new database applications as a backend.
DBConvert for Access and MSSQL performs database conversion from Access 32/64 versions to Microsoft SQL Server/ Windows Azure SQL Databases and inversely. Other migration combinations are supported as well. The tool provides direct conversion but when you need to workaround firewalls MS SQL Dump files may be generated.
DBConvert software is able to convert MS Access queries to MS SQL Server views automatically with no need to know about the differences between SQL dialects.
DBSync for Access and MSSQL is a powerful sync tool designed for two-way synchronization between Access and Microsoft SQL Server databases. Sync of data from MS Access to SQL Azure and vice versa is possible as well. It is also appropriate for database replication between two MS SQL Server databases. DBSync for Access and SQL helps to keep your Access, MS SQL, Azure SQL databases fresh and up-to-date satisfying all possible syncing needs.

My Wife Must Go Where She Pleases
Xuan Tian Ming's eyebrows were immediately furrowed together. He simply raised his hand and stopped Feng Yu Heng: "Don't say anymore."
She became obstinant and looked at him wide-eyed: "Why do you not let me speak? Is this something that bothers you a great deal? Since the second daughter of the Feng family was set to become engaged to you, I do not believe that you would not have investigated me."
She said a bunch of things in a single breath; however, Xuan Tian Ming only said: "You're just speaking in anger."
"I'm not speaking in anger!" Feng Yu Heng decided to stand up, but for some reason, she became irritated, "Xuan Tian Ming, what exactly did you find out?"
Seeing that he could not avoid speaking on this subject, he could only spread his arms: "What I found out was that you are indeed the Feng family's second daughter, Feng Yu Heng."
"I don't believe you!" She became angry, her small face pouting angrily, "My mother even built up a barrier against me, and she only recognizes Zi Rui as her own child. How could it be that you have found out nothing?"
Xuan Tian Ming was also speechless, "Then what did you hope that I would find out? That you are a fake? That you are impersonating her? Then tell me, did you use makeup or were you just born looking exactly like Feng Yu Heng?"
"I…" She stumbled over her words. This was a subject that she could not continue to discuss. From a physiological point of view, no matter how he investigated or checked, she was definitely the second daughter of the Feng family, but… "But did you not think that I changed too much after returning to the capital?"
Xuan Tian Ming shook his head, "No. We will not speak of our occasional meetings when we were young. Just based on the time that we met in the mountains of the Northwest, this is how you are. You dared to climb out of a pile of corpses and throw pebbles at people. You dared to argue with me, and you dared to drop me on the ground because you were tired."
Very well, he should have begun tracking the changes in her from before she climbed out of that pile of corpses, but at that time, Xuan Tian Ming did not recognize her. Naturally, he did not know how the former Feng Yu Heng should have been.
With a bit of frustration, she sat back down on the bag of sand. Feng Yu Heng casually picked up a branch and began to doodle on the ground, "Xuan Tian Ming, you also saw that just now. In truth, mother loves Zi Rui. She only loves Zi Rui. Of course, she also thinks about me, but in her heart, she only acknowledges Zi Rui as her child. Because I have changed too much, she does not feel close to me."
He turned his own wheelchair to face her. Reaching out, he grabbed the girl's small hand. Feng Yu Heng looked up at him and asked seriously: "If there comes a day when you find out that I am not me, what will you do?"
This question was full of mystery; however, Xuan Tian Ming only asked: "Are the you of right now and the you that treated my leg in the mountains of the Northwest the same person?"
She nodded, "Yes, this I can guarantee. I definitely am."
"Then that's fine." He suddenly began to laugh then wave around her hand, saying: "Silly girl, there have never been any feelings between me and the Feng family. In fact, that Feng Jin Yuan was an opponent. For me, whether or not you are the Feng family's second daughter does not matter to me. Or perhaps, this is even better. All I want is the girl I met in the mountains, who argued with me while earnestly treating my injuries. I don't care what the previous Feng Yu Heng was like. That is not what I want. I only want you."
This girl finally revealed a smiling face. It was as though she had won a great prize, as she was like a small white rabbit, leaping up with a smile and circling around him.
"Xuan Tian Ming, your eyes really are great! Un, they really are great!"
Ban Zou had gone away to purchase things and would be away for at least five days. Over these days, Feng Yu Heng dove straight into the Divine Intent Army. Once again, she took care of teaching archery to the divine archery team during the day and teaching tactics to the support team at night. She also freed up some time every day to take care of Yao shi.
Yao shi could be considered an eye-opener for her. At first, she thought that she would not be able to endure the withdrawal symptoms; however, she did not think that just by mentioning Zi Rui, she would be able to grit her teeth and endure for her son. Wang Chuan was worried that she would end up biting her own tongue, so she gave her a wooden stick each time to bite down on. Even if it was a thick stick, three would be chewed through in a single day. It was clear how difficult it was.
These days, Feng Yu Heng had it quite rough. She would frequently fall asleep while sitting in the camp after she finished teaching the support team. The soldiers would secretly start a bonfire near her to provide her with warmth while covering her in a thick coat. Xuan Tian Ming would then stay at her side to keep her company. When she woke up the next day, she found that she was being held in his embrace, and she could feel the warmth of his body. She could even hear the sounds of the soldiers quietly snickering.
On the morning of the sixth day, Xuan Tian ming told her that Ban Zou had returned.
The two went together to look at the equipment that had been purchased. Only then did they find that when Ban Zou left, he had brought along the old man that had wanted to protect his own grandson. The old man was full of energy. Seeing them arrive, he smiled and loudly said: "General, county princess, quickly come and take a look. These were all chosen by this old one, and I can guarantee that they are all the highest quality tools and materials."
Feng Yu Heng went forward to inspect things. Sure enough, everything was of the highest quality. "Sure enough, a blacksmith who has worked with metal for a lifetime has good eyes." She sincerely praised him then said to Ban Zou: "Call people over to send these things into Xu Tian Cave." She then turned to ask Xuan Tian Ming: "How many days until deputy general Qian comes with more people?"
Xuan Tian Ming said: "Ten days, and I fear it may be longer."
She thought a little then frankly said: "Let's give it a try first? How about it?"
Xuan Tian Ming's eyes lit up: "Right now?"
She nodded, "It's not better to do it on a set day than just any old day. I am one to strike while the iron is hot. I have always liked doing things when I say I will. Can you handle this?"
He raised an eyebrow: "What can I not do!" He then said to Bai Ze: "Go tell the soldiers in the camp that their group of brats should do whatever they should do. This prince and county princess will be going to produce steel. Unless the sky falls, none may disrupt us." Thinking a little more, he turned to ask Feng Yu Heng: "Are there any problems on madam's side?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head: "None. After the first five times, it will get better with each passing day. The symptoms will lessen, and the time between these attacks will increase. I left some medicine with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. You should also tell the military camp's doctors to help take care of her."
"Okay." Xuan Tian Ming ordered his attendant, "Have you heard that? Do as county princess said!"
The attendant immediately said: "This servant will immediately go tell the doctor." While speaking, they were a little moved. After all, hearing that they were about to produce steel, who did not understand what it meant to produce steel?
Feng yu Heng returned to the tent and left some medicine for Yao shi. She then advised Wang Chuan and Huang Quan on how to deal with unexpected situations.
After everything was settled, she pushed Xuan Tian Ming's wheelchair and entered Xu Tian Cave.
Inside Xu Tian Cave, many smaller caves had already been prepared as Feng Yu Heng had requested. The blacksmiths had not arrived, as they were gathered in a small room. Soldiers sent the things that had just been purchased to this small cave, and Xuan Tian Ming ordered a guard: "Tidy up my rest area then add a bed and blankets. Also, aside from the three meals each day, do not come and disturb us for anything else."
The guard solemnly said: "This servant will obey." He then turned and left the cave, the door closing with a clang. The only light in the room came from the torches on the four walls.
Feng Yu Heng felt that this lack of light was not suited to prolonged periods of work. Moreover, she had to give Xuan Tian Ming a number of things related to the theory. Thinking a little, she simply decided to pull out an emergency lamp that had been fully charged from her space. It had two lights, and both were 40-watt lights, which immediately lit up the cave.
Xuan Tian Ming was shocked. He had never seen such a pure light, as it made him scared to open his eyes. He subconsciously used his sleeve to cover the light and could not help but shout, "What is this thing?"
"This is called a lamp." She patiently explained, "It is different from candlelight. A lamp is lit using a special resource. That resource is called electricity. I must tell you that this thing called electricity… does not exist in this world."
Xuan Tian Ming wanted to say that if it did not exist in this world, how did you bring this out? But he could not ask this because he knew that once he followed up, Feng Yu Heng would need to explain too many things. The two had been together for a long time, was it possible for him to have not seen enough things that did not exist in this world? Xuan Tian Ming consoled himself. Missing out on one thing would be fine. It would not be odd to see more. In the future, he would slowly get used to this. He had a wife that could pull weird things out at any time. This was something that was worth being proud of.
Thus he matched her pace and nodded, "Un, electricity, I have remembered it." He then pointed up, "This prince feel that hanging it above would be best."
"You could be taught, young man!" Feng Yu Heng looked at him with a smile, "Lamps should be used in this way. But the ceiling of this cave is very high, so I will leave the hanging of this to you."
Xuan Tian Ming did not say another word. Receiving the lamp from her hands, he immediately soared up from his wheelchair and flew toward the ceiling of the cave.
Feng Yu Heng did not understand how he did it. Either way, in just the blink of an eye, he returned to his wheelchair, and the emergency lamp hung firmly in place. The entire cave was lit up as though it was daytime. This immediately gave her a feeling of returning to her previous life.
Xuan Tian Ming, however, was a little worried: "Candles can burn out. Will electricity also run out?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Of course, but there is no need to worry. After the electricity runs out, I still have another. When the time comes, just switch them. The one without electricity can just be charged."
In truth, Xuan Tian Ming really wanted to know what "charge" meant, but he endured. His ability to endure had increased by one level! "Let's begin!"
Feng Yu Heng, however, smiled once more and pulled out two pieces of paper from her sleeve, "Don't rush. Although you know how to handle iron, you have no knowledge of steel. These are the materials that I have prepared. Take a look first. Regardless of whether or not you understand, just read through it first. I will explain it to you later."
Xuan Tian Ming nodded and received the paper. After receiving it, he immediately became dazed, "Dear wife, your writing habits are really bad."
"Huh?" She could not react at first, "What's bad?"
Xuan Tian Ming handed the paper over for her to see, "Not to mention the number of incorrect characters, this prince has lived for so long, yet I have never seen anyone write horizontally. If it was not for having spent a long time with you and knowing your habits, I really don't know what sort of outcome would arise from reading these pieces of paper vertically."
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "That, uh… Listen, can you just try to get used to it? I also want to write vertically, but it will become crooked. It is truly awkward."
"It's fine." A certain person shook the pages in an exaggerated manner, "If it's horizontal, it's horizontal. Dear wife, remember. In the future, don't just write as you want, you must also walk around as you want. My, Xuan Tian Ming's, wife must walk around as she pleases. I want to see who will say no!"1
1: The original text here would be "write horizontally and walk horizontally," but the meaning is, write as you want, and move around as you want.

Here's an online experiment worth trying:
Step 1: Post a link to this story in a comments thread on Sarah Palin's Facebook page.
Step 2: See how long it takes for your entry to disappear.
An analysis by Slate magazine found that about 10 percent of the comments posted to Palin's Facebook site were deleted – the latest evidence that Mama Grizzly isn't afraid to use her claws when it comes to protecting her image.
Palin's determination to control her message extends to taking the "social" out of social media – trying to use online tools meant to foster conversation as a reputation-buffing, one-way megaphone.
Slate came up with a computer program that captured 12 days worth of comments, and tracked the ones that were deleted. The Palin camp's screening effort must be a fairly labor-intensive affair, considering her posts generate hundreds and sometimes thousands of responses.
We can understand Palin's people outright nixing ethnic and racial hate spewed by losers. But the delete key, Slate found, was regularly exercised on critical comments, whether nasty ("I do not like you or agree with any dumb thing you say or do") or perfectly civil ("Sarah, perception is everything! I learned that in the military. All you have to do is disassociate yourself from those Tea Partiers that are indeed racist and the NAACP gones [sic] away").
Comments disagreeing with her decisions to back certain candidates and notes even remotely negative about her family ("please dont let your daughter do a reality show :( but i love your family and you ..hope thats just a rumor from the liberals") also were tossed onto the virtual scrap heap, Slate reported.
Perhaps more telling, comments that reflected Birther-like anti-Obama conspiracy theories and other nonsense far beyond the GOP mainstream got zapped – suggesting Palin's not only trying to control her message, but the perception of the kinds of supporters she attracts.
Slate also found that President Obama's Facebook page was scrubbed of less than one percent of comments, which is less than one percent too many, especially when the deletions include notes like "YOU, Mr Obama are spending too much!"
The president, by virtue of his job, gets questioned regularly, through his press operation and in person (even if that sometimes involves being lobbed softballs on "The View").
Palin, meanwhile, largely has steered clear of journalists and tough questioning as she runs her all-but-declared 2012 presidential campaign via the Internet, speeches to friendly crowds and Fox News, where she is an employee.
But all hasn't been perfect in Palinland as of late. Fox News host Bill O'Reilly pressed Palin for details on her immigration reform plan last month, his aggressive questioning apparently catching her off guard.
Palin was roundly mocked, perhaps too much, for her recent "refudiate" Twitter neologism, which she offered in a sloppy tweet opposing plans for an Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero. And she got a taste of Facebook censorship herself last month when her post on the mosque issue was deleted after site users, in an apparently concerted campaign, reported her note contained "racist/hate speech."
Her statement, as it should have been, was reposted – which is more than you can say for the deleted comments we wouldn't have known about, if not for Slate.
Facebook is an extremely powerful platform with a half-billion users – among them, more than two million fans of Palin's page. But even some of Palin's backers, who see her as a truth teller who listens to and speaks for the average person, might be disappointed to find out they've been victims of her Facebook fakeout.

Johnny Depp has created a new look for Tonto in "The Lone Ranger."
The actor, known for elaborate on-screen costumes, is set to star as Tonto — the Lone Ranger's Native American companion — in a film based on the 1950s-era television show. And his Tonto interpretation, which includes ample face paint and a full bird head-piece, is a giant leap from actor Jay Silverheel's costume.
Depp, 48, told Entertainment Weekly that he developed the new look after seeing a painting of a Native American by the artist Kirby Sattler.
He said he was immediately attracted by the lines of paint on the man's face, which, Depp explained, looked to him like a cross section of the subject's emotional life.
"There's this very wise quarter, a very tortured and hurt section, an angry and rageful section, and a very understanding and unique side," he said. "I saw these parts, almost like dissecting a brain, these slivers of the individual."
Depp also got his inspiration for the headdress he wears in the film from the painting.
"It just so happened Sattler had painted a bird flying directly behind the warrior's head. It looked to me like it was sitting on top," Depp said.
He said that led him to another eureka moment. "I thought: Tonto's got a bird on his head. It's his spirit guide in a way. It's dead to others, but it's not dead to him. It's very much alive."
According to Entertainment Weekly, Sattler's original painting, "I am Crow", refers to the Crow people, who were native to the northern part of the American Midwest. Tonto, in the "The Lone Ranger," is a full-blooded Comanche.
Some in the Native American community have expressed concern that the portrayal of the character is not historically authentic, but Depp said his version of Tonto is honorable and self-reliant, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"The whole reason I wanted to play Tonto is to try to [mess] around with the stereotype of the American Indian that has been laid out through history, or the history of cinema at the very least — especially Tonto as the sidekick, the Lone Ranger's assistant." he said, "As you'll see, it's most definitely not that."
"The Lone Ranger" hits theaters May 13, 2013.

Japan Studio (Fall 2010) – Background
The Vertical, the Dense; Trajectories for Tokyo in the 21st century
In many ways, Tokyo was the prototype city for the rapid growth, high-density and infrastructure-heavy urbanism that has now spread around the world. With the utter catastrophe of World War II, Tokyo had to be re-built and re-thought and a scale and speed that has only recently been surpassed in places such as China and Dubai. The scale of Japan's (and America's) investment in a way of life and the infrastructure to support it is still unrivaled. Now in the 21st century, Tokyo is being re-built and re-thought again. With massive new investments in infrastructure and a new government desperate to dig out of the current economic malaise Tokyo is trying to learn from its rich, varied past and emerge again; re-affirming its position as one of the pre-eminent economic and cultural cities in the world.

For parents of children with food allergies, navigating everyday life can be like side-stepping land mines.
Play dates, birthday parties and after-school activities all pose potentially life-threatening hazards. And there's Halloween, when candy dropped into a trick-or-treater's bag can have tragic consequences.
Food allergies affect 1 in 13 children under age 18, according to a 2011 study published in Pediatrics. Two years ago, a seventh-grader died after eating Chinese food cooked in peanut oil during a party at her North Side school.
For more guidance on how to navigate food allergies, we turned to Dr. Ruchi Gupta, an associate professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a pediatrician at the Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She also recently received funding to partner with Chicago Public Schools to improve the management of food allergies throughout the district. Gupta is the author of a new book, "The Food Allergy Experience." For more information, go to foodallergyexperience.com. The following is an edited transcript of our conversation.
Q: I was stunned to see that three-quarters of all allergy-related fatalities can be attributed to food outside the home. So, knowing that, how do you balance safety with a kid having a normal life?
A: Education and preparation ... a state of mind I like to call "relaxed readiness." In my view, anyone around your child, from teachers to friends and family, needs to be educated on food allergy, signs and symptoms of a reaction, and how to manage it with antihistamines or an epinephrine autoinjector. The child should be aware and knowledgeable about avoidance, signs and symptoms, and what to do if they feel like they are having a reaction. A child is often his or her own best advocate. Kids can live normal lives if the people around them are supportive and educated.
Q: Why is the world beyond your own kitchen so dangerous?
A: Parents only have full control over their own home, which they can make sure is safe from all allergenic ingredients. Food is everywhere, and even if a food does not have the allergic ingredient in it, there is always a risk of cross-contamination. This means, even if one flavor of ice cream does not contain nuts, the scoop used to serve it may have just been used in a nutty ice cream allowing some nuts to contaminate the nut-free ice cream. Or maybe the facility in which it was manufactured or packaged uses the same equipment to make ice cream with nuts. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes only a tiny amount of the allergen to cause a reaction.
Q: Are allergies more common now or are we just diagnosing better?
A: Both. From the data, it seems that food allergies are increasing. Our study shows about 8 percent of the U.S. children are affected. ... That's 1 in 13 ... or about two in every classroom. As food allergies become more common, awareness is increasing and physicians are more knowledgeable ... and diagnose them appropriately.
Q: There's been rampant speculation that the spike in this condition can be attributed to the fact that we've become too hygienic with our hand sanitizers and antibacterial gels. Any more research on this?
A: This is one of the most popular theories right now. Research is increasing to support the "hygiene hypothesis," which suggests that ... being too clean interrupts the normal development of gut flora of the immune system, which normally protect against the development of allergies. In other words, our "developed" lifestyles have eliminated the natural variation in the types and quantity of germs our immune systems actually need to be exposed to for them to develop into a less allergic, better-regulated state of being.
Being clean is important and does safeguard against many infections, so I'm not advocating decreased cleanliness. However, I think that a healthy balance must be struck between allowing children to be filthy and overprotecting them from healthy exposure to germs. Analysis of the data is starting to suggest that breast-feeding, attending day care, having more infections, owning a pet or growing up in a farm environment can be protective against the development of future allergies.
Q: You have a 5-year-old daughter allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. ... But you also have a 10-year-old son who is not affected and loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. How do you do to keep one from resenting the other?
A: It is definitely a challenge. My son lives a less restrictive life as he is free to go anywhere without the worry of accidentally eating something dangerous. He does love his PB&J but has become used to soy butter and sunflower butter sandwiches. He also has opportunities to eat peanut butter when he is away from his sister. He is very supportive and protective of his sister now, looking at ingredient lists and even asking about ingredients at restaurants ... to make sure she is safe. We taught him to use the EpiPen in case of emergencies, since he is older. Ironically, he did once try to feed her a dessert with peanuts so that he could see the signs and try using it.
However, it's important to remember these are kids, and they may not understand how serious a food allergy reaction can be. This education is essential, and great tools exist in the book and through the Food Allergy Initiative (faiusa.org) and the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (foodallergy.org).
Q: Before your daughter came along, did you think parents were overreacting or imposing their rules on everyone else? What would you want parents on both sides to know?
A: I have seen and experienced it from both sides, and I do remember initially being sad my son could not take a PB&J to school because of other children with food allergy. However, because I am a physician, I understood the seriousness ... and did not ever feel parents were overreacting. ... I think it is critical for parents of children with food allergies to educate their teachers, staff and fellow parents on what their child is allergic to, what some definite safe foods are, what types of reactions the child could have. ...This can be done by reading the students a relevant book at the beginning of the school year, writing a letter to the other parents, and discussing it with school staff. If everyone is aware of and educated, it will decrease resentment and facilitate support.
Latest Health
Q: Is there an age when a kid is considered mature enough to patrol his own food intake?
A: It really depends on the child. Some kids mature and can do this as early as 6 or 7; other kids need more supervision. Sometimes, kids who did a great job in elementary school feel a lot of peer pressure during their teenage years because they do not want to look or feel different. ... This is when they need supportive friends and community the most. Oftentimes, kids know, but don't want to take the chance of being made fun of or bullied. Young adults with a food allergy claim that their allergy helped make them more responsible and organized. It is important to always keep the dialogue open and continue to build awareness and support.
Q: So how do you handle Halloween? A bag of peanut M&M's must be your worst nightmare.
A: Halloween is challenging. We make rules around candy: No eating while trick-or-treating, and all candy must come home first so that we sort through it together. My co-author, Denise Bunning, gave me a great tip: She would offer her kids a trade of all candy with allergenic ingredients for one of their favorite candies, or they could earn a quarter if they could tell her the allergen that was in the candy. Halloween is the best time of the year for both my kids, and if you stick to some basic rules, there is no reason why they can't have a blast!

Operation Payback And Wikileaks Show The Battle Lines Are About Distributed & Open vs. Centralized & Closed
from the the-soul-of-the-internet deptBack in October, I wrote a thought-piece on how "the revolution will be distributed," comparing Wikileaks to Anonymous' "Operation Payback" (whose tactics I disagree with). I noted that the two were very different, and were focused on very different issues, but that both were essentially about distributed and open systems taking on systems that were centralized and closed -- and that the folks in those centralized and closed systems didn't seem to understand this. Thus, all of their reactions did little to fix the challenges they were facing.
It seems that my comparison of the two operations was a bit more prophetic than I expected. In the wake of the latest Wikileaks saga, Operation Payback is getting attention for pointing its DDoS takedown efforts on Visa and MasterCard for their decision to disallow any payments to Wikileaks via their cards.
I still disagree with the tactics of Operation Payback -- which I fear will be counterproductive and could lead many people to think this is all about some "rowdy kids" rather than people with a serious agenda. However, it is rather telling how much attention they're getting. The folks behind Operation Payback point out that they're not affiliated with Wikileaks, but:
We fight for the same reasons. We want transparency and we counter censorship. The attempts to silence WikiLeaks are long strides closer to a world where we can not say what we think and are unable to express our opinions and ideas.Again, I'm struck by the simple split many have here: it really is an argument between those who believe in distributed and open vs. centralized and closed -- and I'm still not sure if the folks supporting centralized and closed even realize this. Their response, to date, has been to act as if they're fighting a centralized system. They focus on things like Wikileaks' domain and its founder -- as if that's the issue. They target the centralized pieces. And even if you make the argument that Wikileaks needs Julian Assange to stay together, if it were to shut down, it wouldn't take long for a ton of other, similar offerings to spring up in its place. And, they would probably be even more effective (and potentially more damaging).
While I don't necessarily like "war" analogies, what we're seeing is very much a battle between the way people want to see information flow, and one side seems to be still fighting the last war.

We've just released a new update for Scrapbook MAX! - version 220.127.116.11. This is a free update for anyone who owns Scrapbook MAX! 2.0. It fixes up a few minor bugs that were discovered in the past little while.
To get your free update, simple start up Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 and then go to the 'Help' menu and choose 'Check for Update'. Follow the prompts and that's it. The update file is quite small, so it will only take a couple of minutes to download and install.
Release History
220.127.116.11 - December 2, 2010
- Made changes to improve compatibility with some computers.
22.214.171.124 - November 8, 2010
- Fixed loading of 8-bit bmp files when the file's palette is incorrectly set as transparent.
- Made it so the selection box is updated properly when moving objects with shift + cursor keys.
- Fixed text flow in journal text when using special/accented characters like Alt+130.
- Added fix for character spacing < 1.0 (some characters wouldn't be moved to the left when they should be).
- Made it so that when you export a template with the "Optimize embellishment" option enabled, any cropping done to embellishments will be applied permanently so the image optimization won't affect the quality of the end result.
18.104.22.168 - June 18, 2010
- Fixed a bug in 126.96.36.199 where adding a JPEG file could cause Scrapbook MAX! to crash while trying to retrieve the EXIF data.
Note: We've removed the feature that automatically rotated JPEG images based on their EXIF Orientation data from this version, since the EXIF data was causing the crash.
- Fixed a bug where you could not move ribbon text and caption text objects by dragging their curves when you had more than one object selected.
184.108.40.206 - June 14, 2010
New Features:
- When you add JPEG images they are now automatically rotated based on their EXIF Orientation data if present.
- Added the ability to use Ctrl+ and Ctrl- to zoom in and out on the eraser dialog.
- Added the ability to change the character set of a font on the Advanced tab for Caption text, Ribbon text, and Journal text.
- Added a visible dotted line while snapping objects to the edge of the page to indicate what the object is snapping to.
- Ribbon text now forms a perfect circle when there are only two points and the "Connect endpoints" option is enabled. (You can drag either point to resize the circle.) This allows you to easily create perfect circles of text.
- Fixed a bug where greyscale (black and white) images would appear transparent.
- Fixed a bug where text objects would disappear sometimes when switching between pages.
- Fixed a bug where clicking on a missing caption object (that disappeared after switching pages) would cause a crash.
- Fixed a bug caused by switching the focus to a window on another monitor while in the object settings but before using Crop mode or the Advanced tab for the first time.
- Fixed a bug where the page background didn't update properly when you changed the background image by dragging and dropping a file.
- Fixed a bug where the selected object's selection box would disappear after dragging and dropping an image file.
- Fixed a bug where the new image wouldn't appear right away after replacing an image using Shift + drag and drop.
- Fixed a bug where ribbon text wouldn't fully redraw after changing position, size, or angle using the P, S, and A keys on the keyboard.
- Fixed a bug where inserting a point at the end of a ribbon text path with the "Connect endpoints" option enabled caused the point to be inserted in the wrong place along the path.
- Fixed a bug where the incorrect undo/redo behaviour occurred when certain changes were made to the project after using undo. Now making any changes always "clears" the redo list, as is the normal behaviour for programs on Windows.
- Made the Adjust to Fit dialog crop to the shape (aspect ratio) of the object on the page rather than the shape of the original image file.
- Changed how the Adjust to Fit dialog operates when you "change" the picture but re-select the same image file.
188.8.131.52 - December 23, 2009
New Features:
- Increased the maximum size of all objects.
- Fixed a problem with the Scrapbook MAX! updater application.
- Fixed a bug where the eraser was not being preserved when importing a page from another project.
- Fixed a bug where Scrapbook Max! would sometimes crash during an undo when the ruler was visible.
- Fixed a bug where the eraser would sometimes not display properly on photos or embellishments.
- Made it so that effects cannot be applied to cleared photos.
184.108.40.206 - December 18, 2009
New Features:
- Added an eraser allowing you to erase parts of an image by making them transparent. This feature can be found under the "Effects" program menu, Effects > Eraser.
- Improved the accuracy of custom shape masks.
- Added midpoint handles to the selection box for images and journal text.
- Improved the handling of 8-bit grayscale images.
- Improved the quality of print preview (at the expense of using more memory).
- Behaviour Change: When multiple objects are selected, you can only rotate around the dominant object -- you can no longer begin a rotation by clicking near the corner of a non-dominant object. This was done to make it easier to move objects when you have more than one selected and they overlap.
- Behaviour Change: When multiple objects are selected, you can now move them by dragging the round resize handles on the dominant object (or where the round handles would be on the non-dominant objects). Prior to this change, all left clicks within the round handle zones were ignored. This was done to make it easer to move groups of very small objects on the page without needing to zoom in first.
- Improved the drawing speed when there are cleared images on the page.
- Improved the loading of 8-bit PNG image files.
- Added the ability to set the position of an object by pressing 'P' and entering the x,y values directly.
- Added the ability to set the size of an object by pressing 'S' and entering the width and height values directly.
- Added the ability to set the rotation angle of an object by pressing 'A' and entering an angle in degrees.
- Fixed a bug where shadows weren't drawing for cleared images.
- Fixed a bug in journal text where the lines drawn after an empty line would be drawn twice so they looked darker than they should be (because of the antialiasing being drawn twice).
- Fixed a bug where the preview window surface wasn't large enough when a properties dialog was resized wider than 1600 pixels (the properties dialog now works properly when maximized on widescreen monitors or stretched across multiple displays).
- Fixed a bug where the rulers would sometimes not update properly.
- Fixed a bug where opening version 1.0 projects that were based off of the blank template would use the new project page size instead of the internal setting.
- Fixed a bug where the crop image was not always centering properly.
- Made it so the correct filter is used for temporary resize folder images when set to something other than "Area Average."
- Fixed an issue where there would be a grey fringe around objects when saving the page or object as a 32-bit PNG with transparency.
- Fixed a bug where the custom shape was not always showing in the preview after double-clicking straight to the Advanced tab and then switching to the Settings tab.
- Fixed a rare bug where things wouldn't redraw properly when resizing a small object larger (objects disappearing, etc.).
188.8.131.52 - October 19, 2009
- Fixed a layer redraw bug when using Edit > Cut.
- Made it attempt to correct the flipped image bug when loading old projects.

In giving my manuscripts their yearly tune-up, I discovered that I use and overuse many unnecessary words, such as little, somewhat, rather, quite, very. A little noisy, somewhat noisy, rather noisy, quite noisy, very noisy. In each case, the modifier blurs the word noisy, rendering it almost meaningless. (Almost is another word I use too much.) So I went on a search and destroy mission to sharpen my prose.
I know I overuse only and just, but I hadn't realized just how often I use them. They should only be used a few times, just to give emphasis, and only when needed. I ended up deleting about a hundred justs and onlys, though I kept almost as many because I couldn't figure out how to say what I wanted without them.
Another word I overuse is up: he washed up, stood up, raised up. Also down: sat down, crouched down, squatted down. At least those were easy to get rid of, a quick click of the delete key and poof. No ups and downs. Just cleaner prose.
And then there are all those adverbs I really use too often that add practically nothing, particularly when they are basically used to modify verbs that hardly need modifying. Yep: practically, particularly, basically, extremely, hardly, really all have to go. I'm also overfond of barely, but I could barely stand to part with all of them so they still litter my prose. But just barely.

GUERNEVILLE, California – This isn't your dad's beer. Or even your grandpa's. It's your distant prehistoric mammalian ancestor's. And you've never tasted anything quite like it.
See also: Amber Ale: Brewing Beer from 45-Million-Year-Old Yeast
There are only four ingredients in most beer: Malted barley, water, hops and yeast. But on the banks of northern California's Russian River, Stumptown Brewery's Peter Hackett is cooking up a different kind of brew. His unique ale is made with a special ingredient: 45-million year old Saccharomyces cerevisiae (aka brewer's yeast) rescued from a piece of amber formed during the Eocene epoch and reanimated in the lab of microbiologist Raul Cano.
The single-celled yeast, unsurprisingly robust for something that has lived 45 million years in dormancy, is shockingly good at making beer, though it's not without its quirks. After all, modern brewer's yeast has evolved in the anaerobic environment of a fermentation tank, while the ancient yeast hasn't had the benefit of adapting to the harsh world inflicted by beer makers.
Here's a look at the technical nitty-gritty behind the science and art of cooking up a batch of Fossil Fuel's first offering: XP Ale.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
Hackett's first step in making beer starts in the attic of his brewpub, where he pours giant bags of malt into a grain mill. There, rollers crack the malt and feed it into a large tank in the brewery below. Malt is made of grains or seeds whose growth has been stunted at germination, when they contain the highest concentration of starch-digesting enzymes.
In this case, the malt is made out of barley. Beer can also be made with wheat, oats or any type of malted grain.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
The mill feeds the grain at a controlled speed, along with 170-degree water, into the stainless steel mashing tub. It is stirred occasionally with a blue plastic boat oar to ensure consistent hydration of the cracked grist.
The temperature at the mash stage, says Hackett, determines the ultimate mouth-feel of the beer. This is because the heat breaks down the malt, releasing enzymes that turn the grain's starch proteins into simple and complex sugars. Later, the yeast will consume these sugars and turn them into alcohol. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae prefers to eat simple sugars.
At this stage the liquid that will eventually be beer has a caramel color and tastes sweet like barley-flavored sugar water.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
After the mash rests for an hour, Hackett circulates the liquid into and out of the tank. This step, called vorloft, removes any solids or impurities floating in the mixture. The next step is called sparging. Hackett moves the liquid, known as wort, into the kettle while adding additional hot water. This stage releases any sugars still trapped in the barley and dilutes the mixture to create a clear, nearly-flavorless fluid.
At this point the specific gravity – a measurement that determines the density of the liquid, which will be essential later in determining when the beer is finished brewing – should ideally be about 1.050 (water is 1.000).
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
Once in the kettle, Hackett brings the diluted wort to a violent boil.
The purpose of this is twofold. First, because the hot tanks are open to the environment, it's possible for free-floating, sugar-loving microorganisms to get in. They're not dangerous to eat, but they could change the flavor of the beer. Boiling pasteurizes the liquid to avoid contamination.
Its second purpose is to break out any undissolved proteins, which will appear as inch-long strings inside the kettle. The proteins will need to be removed from the wort before the yeast is added, otherwise they create what is called a protein haze – making the beer cloudy and giving it a viscous character that will affect the ultimate mouth feel.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
Over the next hour, the wort will boil in the kettle and Hackett will add flavoring ingredients. Hops, which are related to cannabis and smell like marijuana, give the beer its bitter flavor.
Later additions (three total for Hackett's special ale) will add more complex flavors and a floral aroma. Hops also act as a preservative, giving the beer a longer life span before the flavors go off and the plant's oils contribute to the overall mouth feel of the finished beer.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
When the hops addition is complete, Hackett shuts the burner off and spins the liquid inside the kettle into a whirlpool. The solids inside – the undissolved protein strands and hops – need to be removed in order to prevent them from changing the flavor of the beer and interfering with the yeast. During the whirlpool stage, the solids collect on a mound at the convex bottom of the kettle. When the liquid is removed, Hackett will transfer it out around the pack collected inside.
After 10 minutes of spinning and 20 minutes resting, the hot liquid, now at more the 190 degrees, is fully prepared and ready for the final step: turning wort into beer.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
Once the liquid in the kettle has been moved to the fermentation tank Hackett cools it to about 74 degrees. Normally, this temperature would drop a bit during fermentation, but the ancient yeast likes its food to remain consistently a little warmer then other yeast.
At this stage Hackett pours a 5-gallon jug of liquid yeast (called a brink) into the side of the fermentation tank. He locks the tank shut and lets the yeast go to work.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
Once the brink is emptied into the tank, the ancient yeast eats the sugars created by the mashing process and converts them into alcohol and CO2.
During the process, however, the Eocene ancestor to modern brewer's yeast behaves differently from traditional ale yeast. It ferments quickly at the top of the tank, like an ale yeast, but then it continues to ferment slowly when it falls the bottom of the tank instead of going dormant, which is more like a lager yeast. It's during the fast and furious top fermentation that the yeast imparts its ancient and unique flavor to the beer.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
At the bottom of the tank, the ancient yeast clumps up and forms a thick clay. This is because, unlike its modern counterparts, it has an unusually high supply of agglutin – a sticky surface protein and antibody that causes the yeast's cell walls to become compact, highly concentrated, and rigid in an effort to prevent foreign bodies from getting in.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
After about a week in the fermentation tub, Hackett "crashes the tank" by dropping the temperature. Normally this would shock ale yeast into dormancy. But the ancient yeast will continue to eat, so Hackett moves it to a conditioning tank where the beer will sit and slowly ferment for another month. When the specific gravity and flavor profile is just right, the beer is done.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
A standard ale, made with modern hybridized brewing yeasts, will start at a higher specific gravity. For example, a regular ale will have a starting gravity of 1.058 to 1.065 and would finish at about 1.014.
The ancient yeast, however, only eats simple sugars and not as much as modern yeast. Because of this, Hackett has to start at a lower specific gravity, 1.050, and it will finish at about 1.012.
Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com
After a month in the conditioning tanks, the beer is ready to drink.
Hackett, who likes to think of himself as the Research and Development end of Fossil Fuels Brewing Co. has made other variations of beer with the ancient yeast. Stumptown Brewery was recently selling a strong, dark caramel, Scottish brew Hackett called "XPort."
But his original XP, also known as Experimental Pale Ale, is his pride and joy. "You would have better odds of winning the lottery," Hackett said of the likelihood that the ancient yeast would brew tasty beer. "I was very surprised to find that it did a great job. I was over the moon."
