Will this change as the beer continues to >ferment in the bottles? I've only brewed a couple of batches >so I don't have a good feel for the whole process yet. My advice for any beginners at this important cross road, unless it tastes/smells like roadkill, bottle it anyway. It may not be an award winner, but after putting in all the work to get a batch to this stage, an hour's bottling time is a drop in the bucket. A beer's character really changes after having a chance to experience life a while. Carbonation can affect the way you perceive the balance of the beer, bitter or off flavors may wane as the beer conditions. Some ale styles need a bit more aging than others. Beers with high hop rates and/or a high OG (Barley Wine) usually need longer to age than a more subdued beer (British Pale Ale). So, roll the dice, bottle the stuff, let it age.....it may be your best beer yet! -Duffy Toler If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to view all of your problems as nails.

(know as an Easter Egg by the programing cognoscenti) If one types "BEER" into the 3D text screensaver built into NT. One get more than 50 beer brands and styles randomly scrolled on the screen instead of the word "BEER".

I just made a nice hop-back. It was cheap, easy, and functioned decently the first time (and perfect since). I used a 10 oz glass jar with a screw on lid. I used two 2" pieces of threaded 3/8" tubing with two nuts, a washer, and a rubber sink washer. The out port has a SureScreen on it to filter hops. This port also has a hose clamp on the poly-vinyl since it leaked a couple of ounces the first time. So, where to get threaded tubing and what's a SureScreen? I got my tubing at a lighting fixture store. They had quite a bit of tubing salvaged from broken fixtures. She gave me a 6" piece and some nuts and washers no charge. I promised her a sixer. I stopped by Mega Hardware for some sink washers. I sure this tubing has been mentioned here before but I'm new to it. It solves a few equipment design problems. The SureScreen is a 4" long by 3/8" diameter stainless steel screen. It's perfect for racking wort from the hops in the kettle, no more choreboys. I don't use a bag to dry-hop so it works great for that as well. I got two from AlK for $17 including s/h. Well worth it. I'm think the next beer I dry hop, I'm going to rack to the secondary with the hops in the hop-back and then pour the hops in to the beer.

I whirlpool a little and then I siphon into a bottling bucket with one of those plastic taps on the side. I snap a lid with an air lock on top and let it sit for 2~3 hours. I get quite a layer of crud (Hop parts, hot break, cold break, etc). I then siphon into my primary using a hose with one of those plastic spray aerators on it. I get really clear bitter wort into the primary with just a little trub for yeast nutrients. I have used this method many times with no contamination at all.

Jeez do I feel old but here goes. When I was a young, dope smoking, long haired freak I and my friends, in an attempt to augment our 'raised consciousnesses' with visual aids would place oh, about that much rubbing alcohol or everclear in a bottle swirl it about and....LIGHT it!! Now, I could try to describe what happens but I couldn't do it justice. Just this, We didn't need psychogenics to be amazed, as I found out when I performed the stunt for a High School demonstration. ( INSERT '90'S LEGAL DISCLAIMER HERE) We never once broke a bottle although I suppose lighter fluid or gasoline would. Anyway having too much time on my hands (I'm out of empty fermenting vessels), I got to thinking... Could I use 5gal HDPE buckets as secondaries? Could I drill the airlock hole high on the side? Could I run the airlock by a 90o bend? Could I then stack my secondaries? Could I then go into higher production without sacrificing valuable space? If I ask you guys will this just resurrect the HDPE vs Glass thread?

I just finished the book I've been working on for over a year. My travel guide to New England brewpubs & micro's will be published in April, 1997. ("What's Brewing in New England," Down East Books, Camden, Maine). I bought my equipment for all grain brewing from Dave Bartz of The Gourmet Brewer, who many of you may have heard from recently. I can attest that Dave is a serious customer service guy, and I recommend his homebrew supply store highly. He answered e-mail w/in a day, and has called me at his expense twice to go over my concerns and lengthy list of needed equipment. He also has an '800' number. His e-mail address is: gbrewer at iquest.net My request is from all you expert homebrewers: Can you give me a one line message of advice about the first time at homebrewing? Something not technical? I notice that much of the digest discussion is highly technical, not at all like Charlie Papazian's advice to relax. . .you know the rest. My first brew will be a blond ale made in all grain fashion.

Ray Corona asked in #2331 about where to drill in his GE chest freezer to attach taps for dispensing. I was looking to do the same thing a few months back and perused through the archives. The idea I found there that seemed to best solve this is: DON'T DRILL THROUGH THE FREEZER! Instead, remove the lid. Build a 2x2 or 2x4 frame out of lumber to exactly fit the dimensions of your freezer. Attach this to the top of the chest and reattach the lid to the frame. You can safely drill through the wood to add the taps, run in the probe for an external temperature controller, etc. Electronically, Al Czajkowski Fraternal Order of Renaissance Draughtsmen USFMC8FH at IBMMAIL.COM Return to table of contents

Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 08:18:55 -0500 From: William D Gladden <W_GLADDEN at Mail.Co.Chester.PA.US> Subject: Transporting full CO2 canisters - safe? Greetings all, I volunteered to bring beer to a friends wedding. There is currently a family debate going on about whether or not it is safe to transport CO2 (and therefore kegs) in the car. So far we have noted that HB supply shops can't ship CO2 full, the full cannisters are always stored outside, and compressed gas (whatever kind) probably doesn't fare too well in an accident. I'm looking for info. that would be admissable evidence in the our domestic debate, or info. that would tell me to shut my cake hole and bottle. Unfortunately relax and have a homebrew, and the standard - hey, how safe is it to transport several cases of glass bottles - was thrown out and I was warned about being in contempt! I suppose one alternative would be to take some of the CO2 dispersers used in minikeg systems for these types of events instead of the 5 and 10 pound cannisters. What do you keggers out there do/think? Any scientific literature on the subject? Thanks in advance, Bill Gladden - Downingtown PA <W_GLADDEN at Mail.Co.Chester.PA.US> Return to table of contents
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 14:08:40 -0500 From: ajdel at mindspring.com (A. J. deLange) Subject: Reducing Sugars/HBD Dave Burley suggested the use of diabetic products to determine residual sugar content towards the end of the fermentation. This is workable but also quite approximate. As far as I know most of the tests are enzyme based tests specific for glucose (that's what diabetics really care about) and, of course, won't tell you a thing about the amount of fructose etc left in the mash. Tests based on the reducing properties of aldoses (glucose) and ketoses (fructose) are also valuable but suffer from a similar flaw in that when dissacharides are formed in which the anomeric carbons of both monosacharides are involved in the glycoside bond (such as sucrose) the reducing power is lost. Thus sucrose is not a reducing sugar and is not detected. Furthermore, polysaccarides and oligosacharides which are not fermentable can have reducing ends which will be detected. This doesn't mean that these products can't be used with some benefit. Clearly a reduction in reducing sugar level to a stable value indicates that fermentation is nearly complete.Greg Noonan in his original "Brewing Lager Beer" suggests that fermentation is complete when reducing sugar level is at 2% (2% of what I can't be sure - I assume it's the reading of a "Dextrocheck" kit since that's what he advocates for testing). I used to use the Clinitest strips myself but haven't seen them in years. When I asked for them (have given up now) I was always told that diabetics now use the photometric blood meters now as they are much more accurate. I believe most of them use glucose oxidase (from our old friend A. niger) and are thus glucose specific.

(and Al K's willingness) and would like to add that the best way to learn from the digest, IMO, is to try to answer the questions you see posted to the digest yourself.

Date: 31 Jan 1997 10:02:13 -0500 From: "John Penn" <john_penn at spacemail.jhuapl.edu> Subject: More Priming Questions Subject: Time:10:46 AM OFFICE MEMO More Priming Questions Date:1/31/97 Good question about priming from Adam, you're on the right track. If you want 2.0 volumes of CO2 in your beer for an English style ale, then the temperature you need to worry about is the temperature of the beer at priming time! That determines how much sugar to add to get 2.0 volumes of beer. How much CO2 is released in that beer when you drink it is determined by how many volumes of CO2 it was primed with and the temperature it is served at. The English ale in question will still have 2.0 volumes of CO2 but will seem more carbonated if you serve it at warmer temperatures because more CO2 will be released. So don't compensate for serving temperature, just priming temperature. The old 4oz priming sugar (NOT quite 3/4 cup) recommendation is for an average ALE primed near room temperature. Ales primed at other temperatures, Lagers, and other styles that are more or less carbonated than your average beer require compensation and the web pages at the brewery are an excellent source for info (as well as recipes).

Now I know you are thinking who is this guy, but I assure you that I used to post regularly (at least twice a week). It seems that absolutely nothing has changed on the HDB. Sure, it is still a great resource for brewers from all walks of life. Whether they are first time brewers, or the most experienced brewers, a person can get answers to just about any question they have pertaining to brewing, and sometimes not pertaining at all. And I love the HBD for this reason. But, it seems to me that all of the bickering and griping amongst certain individuals (I fell it not important to mention any names), is a major deterant that scares alot of people away from the HBD. How do you think that all of the arguing and constant putdowns of your fellow brewers looks to a first time brewer that is depending on the HBD as a resource for their first brew? Look, all I am trying to say is that for the sake of your fellow brewers that are unknow to all of you (because they don't post for whatever reason), can we please stop all of the constant arguing. Please stop all of the personal vendetas that many of you have. If you have a problem with something that someone said, don't make the rest of us constantly hit page down through all of your arguing. There is a simple solution. Anyone ever hear of private e-mail? I'm sorry if this has offended anyone. If it has, have a beer on me. I'm simply trying to make the HBD a much more plesant place for everyone to visit. Please, if anyone wants to comment about this post, don't waste bandwith, or worry those who don't care one way or the other, with your opinions.

Date: Fri, 31 Jan 97 10:14:55 EST From: Tim.Watkins at analog.com Subject: Multi-Part all grain I'm about to embark on my second batch of all grain brew. My first batch was an test/experiment one gallon brown ale which came out rather well. I don't have the capacity to do a full wort boil, and I would also like the practise with mashing and sparging and the like. I plan on making an IPA, but I wanted to get some feedback on how I plan on doing it. I'm currently able to do 3 gallon boils, with my 4 gallon stock pot. What I would like to do is this: Day one: Make a two gallon batch, blah blah blah, pitch yeast. Day two: Exactly the same, except cool this two gallon batch, and then add to the already fermenting two gallons. Day three(???): Perhaps do another two gallon batch and add this to the fermentor (about 6 gallons). Do you think this will work? I know it's an awful lot of work to do it this way, but I like doing it, and am only wondering about the technical aspect of it. Do you think any harm will come by adding more fresh wort to an already fermenting brew??? Thanks, Tim - ----------------------- Tim Watkins Applications Engineer Analog Devices, Inc.

Date: 31 Jan 97 11:07:07 EST From: "C.PEKARIK" <74163.1163 at CompuServe.COM> Subject: Modifying chest freezer Hello brew folks Raynold J Corona asks about installing taps on the front of his freezer. REAL FUN job or should I say gamble but I did as follows. The used freezer that I modified was a huge old BOAT - 23 c.ft. Viking. Holds 10 cornies with 3 taps & 5 Co2 lines. I installed the taps on the right side front. Lift the freezer lid and at the top right corner of the inner & outer walls, you gently pry off the plastic corner piece and in turn pull the whole front plastic top piece off. You should see insulation between the walls. I would not risk using a screwdriver to dig out the sprayed in insulation!!! I used the corner tool of the vacuum cleaner with the vac on and a pointed 1/2" dowel & gently gnawed away till coils on each wall were exposed. Inside this freezer, the coils ran horizontally at approx. 2" intervals. I used a 1" hole saw to drill the shank holes. To ensure that I measured consistantly, I placed a small level across the inner & outer walls and always measured down from it. I wanted the tap handles to be below the top of the wall with the lid open so 3 3/8" down from top was drill hole centre for tap shank hole(s). Your freezer might be different so don't use my measurements. Make your measurements and drill a small test hole. Leave the drill in the hole and from the top, make sure you have enough room top & bottom of the bit for the shank hole to go between each walls coils Adjust pilot hole if necessary & drill. Since I wanted to attach a drip pan, had to burrow out the insulation to a depth of 16" and drilled 3 small holes at a depth of 15 1/4" from top and used self tapping screws to fasten the drip pan. Drilled the hole for the Co2 IN line at the top left back wall after removing a little insulation to check coil position. Replaced all insulation with new cotton candy type insulation. Be sure not to tighten the shank nut so hard as to bend in the freezer walls. Hope this helps... It took me better part of a day to do it but I was happy with the results and I'd do it again. P.S. If in the near future you plan to add another tap, drill the hole now and cover with duct tape.

Not wanting to wait as long for my Wyeast pack to swell, I put it near my furnace after smacking it and it swelled fully in one day (It was 4 months old Wyeast 1968). I was shocked when I later checked how warm it was on that high shelf--near 100F! Now _it's_ waiting for _me_ to get the starter ready this evening, which will of course be pitched at around 68F. I normally let my packs swell at more like 68F, and guessed--doh!-- that the spot would have been more like 80. (The heat was only set at around 66F. I will of course check the starter for any off flavors, etc... before pitching. Also, I recently froze some wyeast 3068 Wheinstephen yeast from a starter with about 50% glycerine/glycerol. This is the first time I have done this, after reading about it here some time ago. I could not remember the concentration to use, and guessed at this amount. (I also have some fairly clean yeast left over from primary which I could save if needed.) I don't brew weizens that often, and wish for some decent long term storage. The freezer is at about 20F the last time I checked, and the yeast sample never actually froze solid, which I suppose is the point of using the glycerine? Finally, is it OK to wash yeast with lactic acid? If so, what concentration should I use? How much is that with 88% lactic acid in say a quart of H2O? - --Brian Pickerill, President, Muncie Malt Mashers, Muncie, IN PS. Three cheers for the new digest janators and contributors. Thanks!

I agree that a hydrometer is not going to tell you exactly what you need to know; it can't differentiate between sugars and dextrins, as noted above. I would be interested in hearing more.

Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 10:53:09 -0600 (CST) From: korz at xnet.com Subject: esters/hydrogen sulphide/doppelbock yst/false bottoms/long lag/BW starter John writes: >Lately I have found myself in need of some info pertaining to >esters. I would greatly appreciate some help from the organic >chemistry gurus as to what exactly an ester is and more importantly >what they taste like in beer. <snip> Well, I'm no chemistry guru so I have translated (with some chemists' help) many chemical concepts into laypeoples' terms before storing them in my head. Esters are compounds that are sort of like alcohols bonded to acids. My understanding is that they can be created without intervention by yeast, but that process is very slow. The yeast, however, can create the bond much more quickly. The aroma/flavour imparted by esters can range from fruity to solventy to flowery. Isoamyl acetate (isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid), is a fruity ester (bananas) whereas ethyl acetate (ethyl alcohol and acetic acid) smells solventy (some say like nailpolish remover). There are also esters that smell like strawberries, grapes, roses... virtually every fruit aroma/flavour is possible. What increases ester production is still under some debate here (high oxygen, low oxygen, high amino acid levels, low amino acid levels). Two factors that are undisputed are temperature and yeast volume. Low temperatures and high pitching volumes tend to reduce ester production. The opposites, of course, increase ester production. Each yeast has it's own tendency to produce certain esters which is partly why yeast strain has such a strong influence on the character of the beer. Also, some yeasts (like Wyeast #1056 American Ale) don't produce as high levels of esters as other yeasts at the same temperature. *** Mark writes: >Al quoted an uncertain major brewing text: >>yeast will reduce hydrogen sulphide in the beer (to sulphate, according to I checked... it's The Practical Brewer, p.243. Also, I'd like to point out that I'm using the word "reduce" in the laypersons' way, i.e. decrease. Dave Bradley pointed out to me in private email that the process is actually "oxidation" and not "reduction" in the chemical sense, although the bottom line is that the yeast decreases the level of hydrogen sulphide in the beer. *** Chris writes: >Primary & secondary at 50-55* >Diacetyl rest at 60-65* for 3 days. >reduce temp. back to 50*, bottle, & lager in fridge at 40* > >Can I use a Wyeast 2206 Bavarian or should I go with the California Lager >yeast? For a Doppelbock, I would go for the 2206 Bavarian. Actually, I would recommend making a Vienna or German Pils first and then pitching the Doppelbock wort on top of the yeast cake. Even with a huge starter, the yeast will have some difficulty handling all that OG. Also, with all that OG it's almost unavoidable that you are going to get ester levels above threshold, so the big yeast cake from a previous batch will help keep the ester levels from getting outrageously high. *** Chuck writes: >Am I right in assuming that it is not a good idea to have a false bottom >which is smaller in diameter than the lauter tun it will fit into? I have a >9.5 inch diameter Phil's False Bottom that I hopefully would like to use in a >10 galllon round cooler, the diameter of which is almost 13 inches. Will the >efficiency of my sparge be reduced because the false bottom is not fully >covering the bottom of the tun? Theoretically, yes, but practically, the difference is very small. See my article in the Great Grains Special Issue of Zymurgy. The bottom line is that there is not that much difference between the laeutering systems that draw from very small areas (like the EasyMasher(tm)) or ones that draw from much larger areas (like the Pico Brewing System or Phil's Phalse Bottom). My tests showed differences in extraction, but since it was a very small sample size (n=1!), we can't really ascribe any firm numbers (although I did ;^) to these systems... the bottom line is that the differences are much less than 20% (I'm very confident of that). *** John writes: >I have brewed three batches of ale. One took off >within four hours after pitching like Mt. Etna. The other two, I have >had to get down on my knees and beg for 3 and 5 days to get the thing to >even fart a bubble. > >I have been extreeeemely sanitary. I used dry yeast (whitbread was the >last one) and started the yeast for 15 minutes in 105 degree water for 15 >minutes prior to pitching at 74 degrees in the carboy. I don't have an >aerator but I did shake it for 5 minutes before pitching (You try shaking >a 5 gallon carboy for more than 5 minutes). Firstly, are you sure that the yeast didn't take off and ferment while you weren't looking? That's more common than you might think. One way to tell that you have missed the volcanic part of the ferment is to look for a brown ring around the fermenter, just above the surface of the beer. Secondly, could the yeast be dead (frozen? overheated? old? unrefrigerated?)? I've seen unrefrigerated dry yeast in may HB shops. After six months, kept at warm temperatures, a 3-day lag time would be expected and a 5-day lag time would not be surprising. Everything else sounds good except one thing: you didn't temper your rehydrated yeast. Dumping 105F yeast into 74F wort is going to shock them. What Lallemand recommends is called "tempering." Rehydrate your yeast in a vessel that is four times the size of the initial rehydrating water. Then, after 15 to 30 minutes of rehydration, quadruple the volume by slowly (about a minute) adding your wort to the yeast. This isn't mandatory, some yeast strains are more sensitive than others to temperature shock and also this maximizes the number of yeast cells that survive which is especially important if your yeast is old or has been mishandled. >Question 2, I'm just going to be making Ales until the budget throws in >another fridge. Do I need to aerate? My brewshop says no and the book I >got doesn't even mention it. Also, what's the diff between a fish pump >and an aerestone? Yes! Get a new brewshop and a new book. A fish pump (aquarium pump) simply pumps air. An airstone is a device that goes on the output end of the hose (the pump or tank of air/oxygen being at the input end) and makes the air or oxygen come out in many tiny bubbles rather than fewer big bubbles. The small bubbles have more surface area and will dissolve the gas into the wort faster, but they do cause foaming, so some homebrewers have taken to *not* using airstones and running their pumps much longer. *** John writes: >Yeast Starter Question-- Recently I tried making a 1.040 gravity yeast starter >as opposed to a 1.020 gravity starter thinking that I would get more yeast to >pitch into my first barleywine attempt. Thinking about the aeration thread, For Barleywines, I recommend you make a 5-gallon batch of a weaker beer and then use the whole yeast cake for the Barleywine wort. Trust me. As for 1.020 versus 1.040 starter gravity, I know 1.020 is recommended by some, but I usually use 1.040 wort for my starters and it works great. >Underhopped Ale in Kenya: I wouldn't think a hop tea would increase your >bitterness. You gurus out there can correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the >bitterness was part of boiling the hops with the malt and the higher the wort >concentration, the more hops you need for the same bitterness level. If it Boiling hops in water will indeed give you bitterness. The malt is not necessary and, in fact (just as you indicated), the higher-gravity the wort, the lower the hop utilisation. My only concern regarding boiling hops in water for adding bitterness is that the pH could be too high and may extract a lot of astringency and colour. I would recommend acidifying the water to about 5.3 pH before boiling the hops in it. Al. Al Korzonas, Palos Hills, IL korz at xnet.com Return to table of contents
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 12:07:14 -0500 (EST) From: TheTHP at aol.com Subject: Recipe Analysis thread, Green Beer, Fruit beers Greetings HBDers, Newbies and Pros alike, I love the Idea sponserd by Shane Saylor about starting a thread on how to formulate our own recipes. I know I could use some pointers on how to figure out if your recipe is "balanced". We all have books and articles that have recipes and we can go to the local HB store and figure out what ingredients are available to make xyz beer. But this is recipe formulation by "interpolation" How do you KNOW how many alpha acids hops balance so many pounds of malt? What hop combinations provide "balance" and which combinations should inherently be avoided? This is a huge topic, but this is a huge forum. Yes, someone at the AOB could dedicate a Special Issue on this topic alone..Hint hint...but this years is rumored to be a new Hop issue. Every good thread needs a good starting point. To narrow down the possiblities I think it would be good to start in familiar territory. Pale Ale. Most everyone has made pale ale before. We also need an international standard we all can compare against. Bass Pale Ale (lets not resurface the Bass in an IPA thread again shall we) Pale Ale is simple enough for Newbies and Bass is complex (and delicious ) enough to keep the expericed interested. I have collected several different recipe formulas for Bass, Ill include my own and if your interesed in others let me know and Ill send them to you. Frog (not Bass) Pale Ale #1 12/23/96 9 lbs 2 row pale ale malt (Marris Otter) 1 lb 60 degree Crystal (Munton's) 1 lb dextrine malt (Munton's Cara Pils) Mash at 152 deg F for 1 hour or till iodine test negative Mashout at 169 deg F for 10 min Sparge with 170 deg F water to collect a total of 7.5 gal Sparge time approx 1.25 hours add 8 oz Dark brown sugar add 8 oz Light brown sugar add 4 tsp gypsum to boil for flavor adjust pH of boil to 5.2 total boil 1hr 20 min 10.5 AAU Northern Brewer hops - 60 min 7.3 AAU Fuggles (Oregon) - 30 min 1 tsp of Irish Moss - 15 (Rehydrated 45 min previous) cooled in 15 min (3/16 copper w/ 1/4 Helically wound radial finned emersion chiller) Heat transfer rate of 80%=212F to 70F in 15 min! pitched Wyeast London Ale yeast (400 ml starter) yield to primary: just over 6 gal IG: 1.050 FG: 1.008 Beer fermented ~65F 9 days (1.052), Racked to seconday 10.12 (Keg) 1 week then chilled and force carbonated. Tastes good to great. Is darker, very cloudy (forgot to add the Irish Moss), and is sweeter than the bottle of Bass we compared it to during the superbowl. I used 10 lb of pale because I knew my efficiency was really bad. Recipe calls for 9 Lb. The nose was also off a little bit also. I know the fuggles is right on, but what else could I use for bittering In the future? Comments suggestions???? - ----------- I have been asked to make a green beer for St. Pattys day, Has anyone out there have a special "Green" recipe?

Brace yourselves holy crusaders. This week Funcom explores another of The Secret Worlds secret societies with the start of Week of the Templars. All this week Funcom will be adding new reveals for the holy crusaders and their mission to destroy evil at all costs.
Going behind the scenes of the Templars secret society is both exciting and revealing; remarkably little is known about the inner workings of this organization despite its well known public image, Says Ragnar Tørnquist, Senior Producer and Director for The Secret World. Uncompromising and fiercely brutal, the Templars is an organization with a single goal; to eradicate evil no matter how long it takes them. This is a great opportunity to shed some light on this secret society.
The first bit of new content this week comes in the form of six new Templar screenshots added to The Secret World's Facebook page.
Keep an eye on The Secret World website for new information throughout the week. If youre itching to learn more about the history of secret societies, be sure to check out our article on the real-world roots of The Secret Worlds secret society factions.

Emerald Heart Practitioner Jack Childs, shares with the Blog his understanding and use of meditation and offers some tips that may well make this important process more relaxed and inviting for others.
The Joy and Pain of Meditation
Meditation is now common in the Western World and recognised as an important component of a spiritual path. Yet for the majority meditation is misunderstood, limited and blocking real spiritual growth. This is because we approach meditation through the confines of mind when meditation is really all about going beyond mind. Going into the unknown, going into the infinite and going into a deeper connection with God-consciousness.
The first step in implementing an authentic meditation practice is to allow everything in. Meditation can be commonly conceptualised into being trying to achieve some sort of idealised peaceful or blissful state, as people meditate to a story that their mind has created about meditation. Rather than creating a space that allows them to go beyond mind, they stick rigidly to a story that keeps them completely rooted in a unmeditative state. However, from the outside this can look very convincing to people unless one is lucky enough to have the inner vision to see what is truly going on.
I always remember going to a Buddhist centre for a meditation practice and talk on anger. During a group discussion, a women commented on whether the resident teacher ever felt any anger, as she always looked so peaceful and lectured a lot on the evilness of anger. Although those with no inner vision may have bought into her story of no anger and profound inner peace when guidance took me into her heart during the meditation there was a huge amount of anger there. In fact guidance kept repeating the words "suppression, suppression, suppression" to me to further emphasise the point. She wasn't really meditating (defined as creating an opening to go beyond mind), she was just stuck in a story that may have felt like meditation to her and looked like meditation to her followers. What a waste of time!!
The beauty of working with the Emerald Heart Light is that it pushes all these unconscious games we play into our conscious awareness, as it illuminates the truth in our heart. The light is like a fire sparking all the unhealed flames within our system and meditation is a perfect container to let them lightly burn out. Rather than trying to be in any sort of state in meditation, it is much better to take an inner posture of allowing everything in. Allowing the anger to be there, allowing the hatred to be there, allowing the murderous thoughts to be there, allowing the happiness to be there, allowing the bliss to be there and allowing the peace to be there. We reject nothing because we don't have a story on what our meditation should look like. This makes meditation a joyous and painful activity.
Now the clever and well read spiritual people among you may speak up in horror of the fact that meditation can be both joyous and painful. Doesn't that mean a duality? Doesn't that make it un-spiritual? That doesn't sound like the bliss all those enlightened masters have promised me if I practice my meditation each day!? No, no and no because it is only by being totally with all the joyous moments in meditation and totally with all the most horrifically painful moments in meditation that are true transformation is possible. True transformation can take you beyond duality, allow you to discover real spirituality and give a tangible experiential feel to the words of the masters. This is because by being totally with it, you recognise that the joyous moments are emanating from a true nature that the mind doesn't have a clue about and all the painful moments are really rooted in fear that are keeping you stuck in the confines of the mind. By being totally with all the joy and pain you don't create a story around any of it and from this no-story we can really start to touch the essence of meditation.
An essence that can't be described, an essence that can't be taught and an essence that has love at its core. An essence that can't be bottled up, labelled and infused with the Emerald Heart Light, but an essence whose nature you may touch if you keep working with the Emerald Heart vibrational essences for a while. What a release to be able to approach your meditation with a willingness to allow everything to be there, rather than all that pressure and expectation of trying to fit into your stories.
Far from being a serious thing, meditation becomes a light and dynamic practice that has a gentle laugh at the heart of it. Now this is a meditation practice that you can fall in love with!! How simple, yet how incredibly difficult at the same time as well. This is because deep down the unconscious resistance to letting go of our stories is huge and this is where working with the beautiful Emerald Heart Light is so useful. It makes these difficult energies and fears that hold all the stories in place easier to manage, easier to embrace and most of all easier to love. And it is only through love of every aspect that arises in ones new dynamic meditation practice that one will truly start to learn what meditation is all about. Then one discovers the joy and pain of meditation dissolve into a single one-pointed aspect, which emanates with the love of life at it's core.
Love and Blessings,

Dear Denton. You are from England. We like cars. This is a match made in heaven. Please buy us a Mini and send us to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. And while there, were can take pictures of renowned sand sculptor Andrew Baynes at work, creating 1:1 replicas of ten of the last century's greats Grand Prix cars — one for each decade — while historic iron wends its way up the hill. Criminy. We're simultaneously feeling like a small child and a lecherous old man. Then again, that combo's probably what draws people to auto journalism in the first place.

Best Whale Watching Destinations
There are really only two things you need to know for a successful whale-watching trip: planning and patience. Planning is essential because there are certain whale spots that are hot, those are the ones where you have the best chance of seeing whales and due to the fact that larger species tend to split their lives between feeding grounds and breeding grounds, they rarely stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.
Patience is important because even when you're lucky whales can be tricky to find. That said, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate and many offer guarantee sightings in the unlikely event you don't see a whale, you get another free trip another day. Most whale watching trips tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak seasons. Here are a few of the favorite locations:
Alaska, United States
The 49th state is arguably probably best known for its great wildlife spectacles including humpback whales lunge feeding. These groups of humpbacks make enormous circular fishing nets with bubbles to catch shoals of herring then they launch themselves high into the air with their mouth wide open.
Canadian Arctic
Canada and its frozen north is a place to go for three specific Arctic whale species. Churchill is good for spotting belugas and one can see them relatively easily. Baffin Island has belugas, Narwhals and Bowheads. One can camp on the ice near their feeding grounds or search from an expedition cruise ship. The best months are from June to August.
Dominica, Caribbean
The Nature Island has a small resident population of sperm whales off its coast, often visible from shore. Half day trips are a good way to see them and if you do not they will be lots of smaller whales and dolphins. Sperm whales are present year-round but whale watching is best from November to April.
Baja California, Mexico
The Pacific coast of Mexico was arguably the best place in the world for the sheer variety of friendly gray whales in their breeding lagoons. One can see singing humpback whales off the Peninsula southern tip and blue whales to Bryde's whales in the Sea of Cortez. The best viewing is from February to April.
Vancouver Island
Johnstone Strait is between northern Vancouver Island and the mainland and is one of the best places in the world to see orcas. Half-day trips leave from Telegraph Cove and there are a number of communities that dot the coast and one can encounter lots of wildlife along the way. The best time is from mid June to October.

If you haven't received one of the numerous phishing emails or texts over the past few years – you are living under a rock or suffer from immeasurable good luck. Chances are, you have received one and just didn't realise what it was. Best case scenario – it went into your spam folder never to be heard from again, worst case – you now have a large hole in your bank account where your money used to be.
'Phishing' usually refers to fraudulent emails, text messages or robot-calls that trick people into giving out their personal and financial data with the purpose of network infiltration, identity theft or simple money siphoning. The information cyber criminal are after can be anything from usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers, to credit card numbers and other sensitive information.
"'Phishing' usually refers to fraudulent emails, text messages or robot-calls that trick people into giving out their personal and financial data with the purpose of network infiltration, identity theft or simple money siphoning."
Phishing takes the form of a mass attack, where messages appear to come from well-known companies such as banks or web sites having a large user base such as Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Paypal, or eBay. Phishing emails often look genuine, using an organisation's logo and message format, and use what look to be authentic internet addresses that link to websites that are convincing fakes of real companies' home pages.
At the corporate level, cyber criminals can target the companies' staff in an effort to steal the companies' confidential information such as trade secrets, military information, personnel information, corporate intellectual property, etc. This usually takes the form of spear-phishing which is similar to phishing, but is usually aimed at a specific company where cyber criminals often disguise their messages as coming from an individual in the position of authority within the company or organisation they wish to infiltrate.
The goal of a spear-phishing attack is ultimately the same as a phishing attack—to coerce a target into opening an attachment or clicking an embedded link—but it is much more sophisticated and elaborate, combining several tactics including sender impersonalisation and enticement.
The common objective of this technique is to compromise the victim's machine by stealthily inserting a backdoor which seeks to obtain unauthorised access to confidential data remotely. A successful spear-phishing attack can establish sustainable, long-term access to an organisation's information assets. Once a link is clicked or an attachment is opened, the door to the network is established, allowing the attacker to move forward with the advanced targeted attack. The collected information can then be sold for material gain or used to the cyber-criminal's benefit and most likely to the detriment of the targeted entity.

The collected information can then be sold for material gain or used to the cyber-criminal's benefit and most likely to the detriment of the targeted entity."
Because spear-phishing combines technology and social engineering to breach an environment, it is very hard to defend against. Nevertheless, the most effective defence against these potentially devastating attacks is a combination of testing, training and awareness.
To combat phishing at an organisational level, your company should perform frequent testing of its security awareness programs to include simulations of spear-phishing attacks in order to gauge the effectiveness of your awareness programs and controls that are intended to reduce the likeliness of success from these types of attacks.
To protect yourself at a personal level:
Do not give out your personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you made the call and know that the phone number came from a trusted source like your bank statement
Only provide personal or financial information though an organisation's website if you typed in the web address yourself and if you see signals that the site is secure (e.g. the URL begins with https, where the "s" stands for 'secure'). Typing the correct URL is the best way to be sure you're not redirected to a spoofed site
Be cautious about opening attachments and downloading files from emails regardless of who sent them
Never send your personal, credit card or online account details though an email
Do not click on any links in a spam or suspicious email or open any files attached to them
Below are several examples of typical phishing messages:
"We suspect an unauthorised transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below and confirm your identity."
"During our regular verification of accounts, we couldn't verify your information. Please click here to update and verify your information."
And an oldie but a goodie – "Our records indicate that your account was overcharged. You must call within 7 days to receive your refund."
If the above failed give you the willies, for a truly frightening experience see further examples below. (DISCLAIMER: Not for the faint-hearted)
Example 1 – Fraudulent website
Example 2 – Fraudulent SMS
Example 3 – Fraudulent e-mail

Way back in 2002, when President Obama was still a little-known State Senator from Illinois, he gave a speech about the right of war with Iraq. Obama clearly articulated the reality that that he was not against all wars, but he was against "A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics". It any good speech that helped launch Obama's career nationally. As he makes his case for bombing yemen quotes this week, President Obama would be wise to consider an advise from your own decade past.
In Yemen, embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh pledged to step down at least a year early, but his refusal to go out of immediately infuriated hundreds and hundreds of demonstrators. Yemen is a transfer point for global oil sources.

Prayer Changes your Situation, God Never Says No
Many people think that, as a Christians, we are destined to live a life of unrepairable destitute and inescapable peril. The fact is, every Christian can live life finding victory through God-answered prayers. Essentially, God will say yes to everything you pray for; you just got to know how to seek and pray.
The Bible speaks of this in great detail. Matthew 18:19 states, "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." Psalms 21:2 says, "Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah." John 15:16 states, "…whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you" and Psalms 37:4-5 says, "Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
I am not finished. Psalms 34:17 and Psalms 34:19 respectively say, "the righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles" and "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." John 16:23 states, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." Matthew 21:22 says, "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive," and John 14:14 states, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
Honestly, I could go all day with this. 1 John 5:14, John 14:13, Luke 11:9-10, Deuteronomy 32:7, 1 John 4:5, Matthew 17:20, Psalms 146:15-16, Psalms 107:19-21, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalms 103:2-3, Psalms 91:14-15, Exodus 15:26, Psalms 37:40, 3 John 1:2, Psalms 37:25, Habakkuk 2:2-3, 2 Chronicles 16:9, and 1 John 3:22 all substantiate this notion.
Why, then, do we not get what we pray for? There are 3 things that Christians must do in order for our prayers to be answered. The first is obey. We must obey Christ in order to receive the promises he has for us. It states in John 15:7 that "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." In addition, Psalms 84:11 says, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. " Obedience is key, and if we obey him, our prayers will not be of wicked intention (eg, praying for 24's on our sedan or for that woman at work to be fired). If we simple obey God, we have access to his promises, which include our prayers being answered and our desires being fulfilled.
Secondly, we must ask. John 16:24 states, "Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." I'll use the proverbial phrase that a close mouth doesn't get fed. We must get on our knees and pray fervently for the thing that we desire from him. If we do so, God will open up the windows of heaven to our requests.
Lastly, we must have faith. This one may be the most difficult, but if we believe in that God will do it, then he will. Mark 11:22-24 states, "Have faith. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." We must believe that God will answere our prayer even when our situation looks bleak or doubtful. Here is our biggest mistake I think. Some Christians doubt that God can. Many Christians do not believe that God will. In actuality, and based on the aforementioned scriptures, God can and he definitely will. We just must believe both. Doing so will guarantee an answered prayer.
Now there is a caveat. It is possible that we do not get exactly what we want. But the only time this would occur (if the above three things are done) is when God gives you something greater than what you asked for. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." In some situations, you may get passed up on a job opportunity, the house you wanted, or a spouse you wanted. Ultimately, if you continue in faith and prayer, God will give you greater than what you initially prayed. Our patience and remaining faithful to Christ is key in this regard.
Ultimately, if the above 3 are done, we can have whatever we pray for. God does not lie and stands by his promises. Understanding how and when our prayers will be answered is up to Gods divine will for our prayer. If we knew these two things, there would be no need for faith. But knowing is irrelevant anyway since we stand on faith that God will do it. If we stand on this, he without a doubt will do it 100% of the time and will not ever say no to our request.

2 out of 5
Well, that happened.
First things first: I think Actionlab has done this series a disservice by separating its trade collections into four issues. I don't know if that's a logistical decision – that it's more cost effective for a smaller imprint – but Tomboy has no clear story divides for a trade; it is absolutely a 12-issue maxi-series. So there's some consideration there: whether or not the foreknowledge of the collections enforced upon creator Mia Goodwin story limitations she might not otherwise have had.
This went through my head as I waded into this third set of issues. I wait for storylines to complete before reading issues, and in lieu of clear divides (and not knowing this was intended as a limited aeries), I'll use the trades as indications of where to divvy up my reading. The last "arc" I felt suffered from over-stuffing – including too many characters for what initially felt like something of an intimate (but twisted) emotional excursion for series lead Addison. And then with this arc, the first issue had me at a complete loss. I knew I hadn't missed an issue, and it hadn't been so long since I'd read the previous set, so I reconsidered my view on the series (see above) and decided to start from the beginning.
Guess what? The over-stuffed problem still exists, and it gets way worse in this last act. Part of this, I'll admit, is on me: the 'emotional excursion' tag I'd used above was completely off, although part of why I was misled is due to what I feel like is a poorly applied narration technique. Instead, Goodwin is actually going for a whole pseudo-superhero mythology here, skewed through Sandman-style magicks and horror-lite gore, and backed into, story-wise, via teen growing pains. While there's the introduction of hero and fantasy elements early on, the technique to which I referred affects how these elements come across: characters exposit backstories in vague terms, while the imagery fills us in on the specifics. Normally when this is done (and how I initially assumed it was being used) is to show the reader that there's more to the story then what we're (and by extension in this case, Addison) being told. But as we rounded toward the conclusion and I found the story's path to be unsatisfying, I understood that Goodwin was cheating a bit: I guess Addison could see everything being shown in those flashbacks, and completely understood the context, without it actually being explained.
This type of discrepancy carried over elsewhere: the timing of events and sense of place are completely unhinged. Things happened a year ago that are not given any narrative distance; characters flit between locations as though those locations hold importance, but, like the over-stuffed cast they do not. And just from a consistency perspective, frequently shots are colored as though they are day or night, only to have a scene immediately following that's the opposite. Did time pass or is it a flub? It's impossible to know. Mix this with the over-complicated (and yet shallow – lots of moving pieces that serve one-sentence purposes) mythology of a "special" bloodline and its different sects and a secret ruling society that actually seems like it involves everyone in the world and so isn't so secret, and Tomboy's potential as a deeper study of something / anything gets quite derailed. Again, I underline: that interpretation (as a psychological piece) is on me. But I double back on pointing at Goodwin's somewhat poetic, dreamy narration style, and frequent nods to themes of friendship and family, as what I feel urged me down that road. Read the other way, as a straight hero / horror story, it's still uneven and cluttered.
These last four issues are mostly the end game: explaining Addison and Irene's roles, and wrapping back around to the rooftop conversation in issue one. Michelle Wong carries on dutifully with art, but lacks Goodwin's sense of framing and space when the action heats up, which doesn't help with the generally cluttered feel.
This was an admirably scoped project that, perhaps, needed an editor to suggest it be scaled back in order to make it more effective.

Easy Chicken Tacos
The road to authentic taco flavor in just 30 minutes (or less) took some astonishing turns.
Why This Recipe Works
We like the convenience of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in our Easy Chicken Tacos, but they were so lean that an unsuitable cooking method guarantees they'll wind up dry and rubbery. Poaching proved the best method, producing meat that was tender and moist. Chipotle chiles gave our poaching liquid a smoky, full-bodied flavor, and orange juice, instead of chicken broth, offered a touch of sweetness that tempered its vivid acidity.
For more robust flavor from our chicken, we called on Worcestershire sauce and mustard, two (surprising) Latin American staples. Worcestershire mimicked the complex flavor of dark meat, and mustard added sharpness that balanced the sweet orange juice and smoky chipotle.

I have been a crafter for many years – whether this be knitting, crocheting, cake baking/decorating, drawing, painting, sewing – but have never really done anything with it.
It sits in a bag or ultimately gets put away/thrown away and no one knows about it!
So I have decided that even if it is just me that ever reads this blog, least my creations are out there for others to see (if they so wish)!!!
I am a full time mummy, full time wife, full time worker!! Doesn't leave much down time for any crafting but I certainly try!!
I am a big crocheter with knitting being second but dabble here and there in anything handmade! I'm still learning (despite knitting for over 20 years) and always willing to try new things!!
So sit back and enjoy!!!

I ran with Barb again on Friday. We did only 3 miles since the end of the semester is right around the corner and so we both have loads of fun and exciting things to do. But, a run is a run. Plus, Friday I also finished up Leila Sales "This Song Will Save Your Life." The book was great fun and I liked the protagonist. I'm going to add it to my books about music that I'm hoping to use in the fall to have students design websites for. I've decided that in addition to books about music, the books need to mention The Smiths at least once:) I think I have 4 good ones to use. I could use at least one more to make sure.
I went biking with Erin on Saturday. We did our loop south of town. It's about 14.5 miles for me from my door. We had been doing the loop in reverse, but we decided to do it our "old" way and I forgot just how hilly it was when we do it that way. Still, it's good for my legs. And, it was nice to be on the bike and cross-training. I've been concentrating so much on running that I haven't really gotten in much swimming or biking. I'm going to have to work on that this summer.
Barb was out of town today, so I did my long run alone. At firs I thought that I might get up early and attempt to get in 10 miles. But, I didn't get up super early. Instead, I went out a bit before 10 and decided to see how far I would make it. I ended up doing 8, and that worked for me. I did it in 1 hour 33 minutes. I decided since I was going to do a longer run I would run for 30 minutes and then do a 3/7 walk/run the rest of the time. That worked well. I had thought about doing loops but ended up running down Ward to Grant and then I decided instead of turning around I would run down Grant a bit. I apparently really hate running down Grant:) I made it a little over half a mile and then felt a bit panicked. I'm not sure why. I used to run that stretch all the time. Now, for some reason, my body really hates it. When I was out there I thought that I would only be able to do like 4 miles and have to be done, but then I got back on Ward and felt just fine and ended up doing my 8.
I want to be doing 10 miles in under 2 hours. After I feel good about doing the 10 miles I think I'll work towards running more of it. So, I'll just keep adding 10 minutes to the full run portion. Last week when I did 7 I ran for 50 minutes, but then I got really tired at the end, so as I'm adding miles I'm going to first get to 10 miles and then add on the straight run. We'll see how it works. Overall though, my splits weren't bad, for me for a longer run, so I can't complain.
It got really hot running too. It had cooled down last night, so I thought it would stay that way for my run. I was wrong. It was pretty windy and it was hot, hot, hot. I did get to almost finish Veronica Mars, which I hope to complete tomorrow if I decided to go for a leisure run. I really do love it. But, I'm not sure if I would love it as much if Kristen Bell wasn't reading it. I'm hoping there will be more books in the series since they're lots of fun and perfect for running. I'm also working my way through Veronica Roth's "Allegent" so that I can be done with that series.

Be Alert for a Job Offer You Can't Refuse: "Unpaid Caregiver," Warns Long-Term Care Leader Richard Landau of ACSIA Partners LLC
Hackensack, NJ April 18, 2017 -- "America faces a senior health crisis that is also an employment crisis," says Richard Landau of ACSIA Partners LLC, one of the nation's largest long-term care insurance agencies.
In most U.S. households an out-of-the-blue "job offer" will suddenly appear.
- Urgently needed: caregiver.
- Duties: look after an aging family member 24/7.
- Pay: zero.
"This can be disruptive," says Landau, "but with good planning, it needn't be."
The demand for senior caregiving is huge. About 70% of those over 65 will need help with the activities of daily living at some point, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "These activities are basic tasks we normally take for granted," says Landau. "Things like eating, moving around, bathing, and toileting."
In families with two or more seniors, the odds approach 100% that at least one will need caregiving services sooner or later. That creates millions of caregiving "jobs." Most go to unpaid family members or friends, and their ranks are legion.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 40 million unpaid caregivers currently look after adults ages 65 and older. That's more than a quarter of the entire U.S. workforce. And new caregivers enter the ranks every year.
When these services are extensive, the toll on the caregiver can be great. According to a 2015 report from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, heavy-duty caregivers (who often perform medical or nursing tasks without preparation) reported negative effects. A majority, 63%, said the intense caregiving made their own health worse.
"And when full-time caregiving also leads to quitting your job or reducing your work hours," says Landau, "financial stresses make matters worse."
When volunteer caregiving is more limited, it can be a different story. "The extent of caregiving seems key," observes Landau. "It would appear that some caregiving is OK and even enriching." Landau points to a Pew Research study revealing that most caregivers found caring for an older loved one rewarding.
"The right balance is vital," says Landau. "Supplying some care personally, and hiring professionals to supply the rest."
Appropriate services for family members include companionship; emotional support; handling paperwork such as paying bills; and assisting with some, but not all, activities of daily living.
Appropriate services for professionals include monitoring the loved-one during working hours; helping with activities of daily living when family cannot be present; and any assistance requiring medical or nursing skill.
To be in a position to pay for professional caregiving, Landau's organization recommends five options:
- Long-term care insurance
- Critical illness insurance
- Life insurance (with LTC rider)
- An annuity (with LTC rider)
- Savings, such as a tax-advantaged Health Savings Account
