I'm pretty pleased and surprised by how well my first year Cascade and Chinook plants did. I've got probably 30 Chinook cones and well over 100 on my Cascades. Two rhizomes each.
I'm thinking about making a harvest IPA with them. I was figuring I'd use the 'Hoppiness is an IPA' base recipe that came with my GABF tickets, but sub in the wet hops from my plants.
Any suggestions as to how much wet? I've read that about 2 oz. wet = 1 oz. dry.
Any advice on using wet hops vs. dry? Is there anything different that I need to do, or just throw them in like normal?
I'm in the same situation that you are, so I have no first hand knowledge of this, but from what I have read its more like 4:1 or 5:1 for wet hops to dry hops. Let us know how it turns out.
Also, is the IPA recipe you mention posted somewhere on this site?
I have a link I need to find but it has a document from Vinnie at Russian River. He gives an example of a 10g wet hop IPA. I will post it once I find it.
I'm doing a wet hop rye pale ale this year with my nugget harvest. Probably going to use Denny Con's recipe for the basis.
Ditto on the 5:1 ratio for using wet hops. I've read that in several publications. Note that the 5:1 is 5x as many wet whole cone hops as you'd use whole cone dried. Pellets are much more efficient, so the ratio of wet hops to pellets would be even greater. In a book called Homebrewer's Garden they indicate these ranges of ratios as a guide to know when your hops have dried enough.
Nothing special about use, other than the 48 hour limit. 5:1 is the correct ratio, so if you are short, I'd bitter with something else and save the fresh hops for flavor/aroma.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I talked to the folks at our LHBS, and they agree with the 5:1 ratio. Good to get confirmation here, though.
The IPA recipe came with my Great American Beer Fest tickets. If you're not going and don't have tickets, you're not allowed to brew this one. Sorry.
Actually, 'Hoppiness is an IPA' comes from Brewing Classic Styles. Great book.
What's the 48 hour limit? It didn't see reference to that anywhere else.
To help you set your recipe up 100 cones off my mature casade plant is right around an ounce dry. I can't speak to chinook as I've never grown them but I just wanted to help you get stuff going because right off the bine into the kettle would be awesome!!
Looking forward to brewing some beer
I've got my GABF tickets, but I can't find a IPA recipe. Wanna post it just for me?
Here is the one I was talking about .. Music City Brewers • View topic - Wet Hop Ale from Russian River
Here's that IPA Recipe. Sorry it took two weeks. It's from Palmer and Zainasheff's Brewing Classic Styles.
Hoppiness is an IPA
12.74 lbs American Two-Row

My friend and fellow tailoring enthusiast Sven Raphael Schneider from the Gentlemen's Gazette alerted me that a tailor's pattern archive was up for grabs on e-bay. I promptly placed my bid and acquired these beautiful patterns of womenswear overcoats, jackets and other outerwear garments. The gentleman who dropped them told me that they belonged to his father who worked with east-end designers. His name was Mr. Eric William John Moore and he studied at (possibly) the London College of Fashion in the 1930's. I am so lucky to acquire them. I can only do justice to this man's professional life as a pattern cutter by creating art.

Grassroots Toolkit
What is grassroots organizing?
That's where grassroots organizing comes in.
You can host video parties with your friends. You can hand out information at summer fairs and events. You can talk to your friends and colleagues and urge them to contact their members of Congress. These are all grassroots tactics. These are all ways to build a community of Alaska advocates who together have the force to influence our country's decision makers.
We hope that the materials here in this grassroots toolkit can help you build a local network of Alaska advocates. The following documents are available in PDF.
- Organizing A Successful Event
Whether you're organizing a rally, a petition drive, a benefit concert, a brown bag lunch, a speaker's panel or any other event, your success will always depend on how the event is organized.
- Tips on Communicating with Congress
There are a number of ways to communicate with Congress- each are effective ways to demonstrate your concerns to your Representative or Senators.
- Tabling
Tabling is a term used to refer to doing outreach to the general public about issues you are concerned about. Often-times, you don't even need a table. Tabling allows you to educate a broad array of people about Alaska issues.
- Collecting Postcards or Petition Signatures
Collecting postcards or petition signatures is a great way to educate the general public about special places in Alaska. The League has developed a special petition for the 50th Anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that you can use to ask President Obama to protect this important place.
- Giving Presentations or Showing Videos
Giving presentations or showing videos about special places in Alaska is an excellent way to educate the public and get them excited about making a difference for Alaska wild lands and waters. It doesn't have to be daunting or scary, it can be as simple as inviting a few friends over for coffee or as big as presenting to a large audience in a public venue.
- Hosting a House Party
House parties are a great way to both educate and motivate concerned citizens about keeping Alaska wild. Our new videos on the Tongass National Forest, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska show the beauty and diversity of these unique landscapes. Just as important, these videos will compel viewers to do something, to take action, to make a difference.
- District Meetings
District meetings are a highly effective way to let your Representative and Senators know that their constituents are concerned about keeping Alaska wild.
- Press Events
If you have a compelling message or visual, you may want to consider organizing a press event to increase awareness of Alaska public lands issues in your community.
- Letters to the Editor
A Letter-to-the Editor (LTE) is able to reach large audiences. The LTE section of the newspaper is read more frequently than any other section.
- Writing and Submitting OpEds
Op-ed means "opposite editorial." In other words, it appears on the page facing the editorial page. Op-eds are a great way to educate the public about Alaska public lands and waters.
- Working with Editorial Boards
Editorial writers have a strong effect on the opinions of their readers. Therefore, by convincing editorial writers to take an editorial position on your issue, you could potentially influence thousands of others.
Alaska Wilderness League-in-a-Box
Ok, so it's a virtual box. But if you download this file you will have all the materials you need to start your outreach efforts on behalf of Alaska's wild lands and waters. This includes: sign up sheet, factsheets on our core campaigns, and a one-pager on the League itself.
Social Networking
Are you into online social networking? If you use facebook or twitter, now there's a whole new way for you to support the League. Here's how you can help:
- Facebook: Follow the League on facebook on our page: Keep Alaska Wild! We'll post action opportunities, league videos and more – please spread them far and wide.
- Twitter: Follow the League on twitter as we share important action opportunities, breaking news and fun Alaska-related items from around the internet at twitter.com/alaskawild
We look forward to interacting with you in these exciting new venues and hope that you will bring your friends and followers along in support of keeping Alaska wild!
Activities for Young and Old Alike
Build and fly an Arctic kite
Concerned citizens across the country will be flying kites symbolizing the birds that come through their areas on their way home to the Refuge. Download your materials at www.alaskawild.org/kites and fly them with the rest of their flock: Invite your friends and family to a mini-migration of your own!
Host an Arctic Garden Party
Growing an Arctic Garden will help you attract Arctic migratory birds to your backyard. Visit www.alaskawild.org/garden to learn how to involve your friends and family and we'll send you seed packets and party materials to get started.
Paper Swans
Each year, waterfowl migrate great lengths to spend their summers in the Teshekpuk Lake area of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. You can help us work towards the study and protection of important areas within the Reserve with this fun craft project.
Polar Bear Masks
America's Arctic is home to the only polar bears in America. As part of your outreach and education efforts, you may want to use these fun, printable polar bear masks.
Alaska Wilderness League staff are here to help.

Moderated by Rick Badie
The Federal Trade Commission reports there were nearly 2 million complaints of fraud, identity theft and other practices last year, a 40 percent rise. Identity theft topped the list and, of all states, Georgia has the second-highest incidence of identity theft complaints.
Today, a guest columnist digs deeper into the data while another writer talks about child identity theft.

And one can only imagine what the identity theives will do with the 315,000 patient files, including 228,000 social security numbers, that Emory Healthcare let get away.
April 18th, 2012

With so much identity theft going on, why are people rushing out to do online banking, bill pay, and other Internet transactions? Have we reached moral and practical limits of consumer technology? It would appear so.
April 18th, 2012
3:49 pm
And this is what we get (deserve?) as a society for clamoring for more and more technology.
I should not have to purchase identity theft protection. My bank is supposed to do protect me from that, which is the reason I trust it with my money and personal information.

The penalties for fraud should equal those for theft.

Busness sees illegals as cheap labor, politicians see them as voters and The Catholic Church sees them as parishoners. Against this powerful trinity the people have little or no chance for a full enforcement of our immigration laws.
April 18th, 2012

So, Rick, all the identity theft is due to illegals? Yeah, right!
April 17th, 2012

The Democrats and Republicans just don't care enough about their constituents to enforce our immigration laws.
The Democrats see them as future votes and the Republicans see them as cheap labor, simple as that.
April 17th, 2012
6:05 pm
Georgia is ranked 5th amongst US states in illegal aliens residing within the state. It is no wonder that we have identity theft!
The Democrats and Republicans just don't care enough about their constituents to enforce our immigration laws. Vote them ALL out of office and start with a fresh bunch of lawmakers. If they don't enforce the "rule of law" then start over again.

Before we dive into what needs to change, we must understand the problem better. Webster's Dictionary defines "Communication" as "A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behavior." Okay, so by that definition, we are communicating all the time. I get it, but it doesn't help me understand the problem. We need to look further.Click to continue

Topic - Rope advice for Mont Blanc
saz_b - on 02 Aug 2012
I am looking for a short-rope for Mont Blanc, most likely Gouter route in a party of 2, so reckon 20-30m length of something light. There's a "glacier line" rope (30mx8.1mm) around for about Ł60
As I want another half rope to match my current half-rope (50m mammut genesis 8.5mm), I'm thinking to: buy a dry 70m half rope, cut it into a 20m and 50m length; 20m is to be used to rope together for anything sketchy on MB, and the other 50m will be my 'other half' - cheap at under Ł100.
Think these are my options:
1: 70m mammut phoenix (8mm) - Ł145. Super light, not hardwearing.
2: 70m edelrid kestrel (8.5mm) - Ł140. Matches dia, but I have no personal experience with their ropes.
3: Get a 50m genesis AND iceline - Ł170 total. 10m more rope on the shortrope, but more money.
I climb mainly sport and UK trad, but want a versatile rope system to use on Alpine and ice in the future.
Any recommendations or any tricks missed? Is a 30m 8.1mm rope really useful, or could I live with 20m? I appreciate the 8mm phoenix won't last as long, but a superlightweight rope is appealing!

The X Factor ChildLine Ball
£640,000 raised for ChildLine
On Thursday 20 October, the X Factor ChildLine Ball was held at the Savoy hotel in London, sponsored by first direct.
The evening, hosted by Dermot O'Leary, was a great success and raised over £640,000. There were performances by X Factor stars Mary Byrne and Rebecca Ferguson while Peter Dickson, the voice of X Factor, entertained guests.
Esther Rantzen said: "It was a fantastic evening, a really thrilling way for ChildLine to celebrate this very important year, its 25th. Dermot O'Leary was his usual charming self. Mary Byrne and Rebecca Ferguson were wonderful as they always are. And we raised a staggering amount of money, thanks to our live auctioneer Jonny Gould, and Peter Dickson. This means we can answer all the desperate children who ring ChildLine and contact us online, giving them hope, advice, and a lifeline.
"The ball was on the publication date of my book Running Out Of Tears; telling the story of young adults who rang ChildLine when they were children, and how those phone calls transformed their lives. So this is a landmark year in ChildLine's life and in mine."
Dermot O'Leary said: "It was a top night and I am delighted we raised so much for ChildLine. Their counsellors do amazing work with children who may have no one to turn to for help."
Simon Cowell said: "ChildLine is a fantastic cause and I genuinely believe that every child needs help and support. I'm delighted The X Factor was part of this event."
Dan Gopal, Chairman of the ChildLine Ball Committee, said: "This year's ball was quite simply the biggest and best event we have organised so far, and to raise over £640,000 for ChildLine is unbelievable."

The good thing about technology these days, as far as video game developers are concerned, is the wide array of platforms they can come on. No longer are we limited to video game consoles now that smartphones and tablets have become a popular tool for the vast majority of the population.
EA Games, the developer of Need For Speed: The Run, is taking advantage of this wider access to video games with the release of the trailer for the game on the iPad and the iPhone.
You read that right, folks. We now have iPad and iPhone trailers.
Since the game is already out for the PS3 and Xbox platforms, the next step is to bring all the action to the iPad and iPhone. That's what the trailer is for. And even if it doesn't come with the same cutting edge graphics as that of the console versions, it still something that should be a good download.
Besides, the iPad and the iPhone have one thing going for them that the PS3 and the Xbox don't: you can take those two anywhere you go, and in doing so, play NFS : The Run anytime and anywhere.

New Book Club in a Bag Kit!
Dewey: the small-town library cat who touched the world [kit] by Vicki Myron ; with Bret Witter — How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa. Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat) and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most.

The Internet, Tape Delay, Proxies and Civil Disobedience
Much has been written about how idiotic it is for the NBC to tape delay Olympic broadcasts when everybody already knows via Twitter what the outcome of an event has been. At the current Olympics we are witnessing like never before that the Internet is global and realtime whereas TV historically has been neither. Now you can in fact get live streaming of the Olympics but only if you are based in the UK.
Enter proxies. A proxy is an intermediate server that lets you appear as if you are located in the UK. Effectively, your browser connects to a machine that is in the UK and that machine then connects to the live streams. Browse through a UK proxy and you can watch the Olympics live over the Internet. This is a great example of how the Internet can "route" around an artificial limitation that someone is trying to impose on it.
I strongly support individuals' use of proxies to circumvent arbitrary geographic restrictions. Why? Shouldn't it be the BBC's right to restrict where its live streaming is viewed? And shouldn't it be the IOC's right to sell its broadcast and streaming rights in geographically restricted packages? I firmly believe that the answer to both questions is in fact No.
The argument for geographic carving up has been similar to the argument for release windows on movies: it allows the seller to maximize profits. Let's start with the fact that being allowed to maximize profits is *not* a constitutional right here in the US (nor anywhere else that I am aware of). We already in many other instances impose restrictions on profit maximization for a greater social good (e.g., we regulate monopolies, product safety, etc). So to make artificial geographic restrictions illegal would be entirely consistent if we believe it serves a greater good.
A globally connected Internet is exactly such a greater good. A globally connected Internet is essential for access to learning and knowledge everywhere, for the spread of democracy and the downfall of tyranny, and is to date humanity's best shot at cooperating to overcome war, poverty and disease.
I happen to also believe that in fact over time doing away with the geographic restrictions will allow the IOC to generate more profits because they will be able to control streaming themselves and won't have to sell the rights off to third parties such as traditional broadcasters which will take a big cut or markup. Much like Louis CK can publish directly and make more money, so will the Olympics.
This is a perfect example of where being a Citizen of the Internet is at odds with being a citizen of a specific country in which artificial geographic constraints on the Internet constitute valid terms of service.
Let me try to put this into the starkest terms possible. In the US it is rightly illegal to refuse service on the basis of race or gender. It is time that we add geography to this for Internet based services. Until we do, I encourage the use of proxies as an act of civil disobedience to circumvent artificial geographic restrictions.
To be clear: if the BBC or the IOC were charging a reasonable fee for those Olympic live streams I would not support circumventing that to get free access, just like I wouldn't support ripping off Louis CK by getting a free bootleg copy of his special.

There are some things you expect from 15-year-old girls. Lots of pointless phone conversations and rapid-fire texting. Maybe a bad test grade or report card here and there. Falling outs with friends, overdramatized crushes on boys, and an exorbitant amount of time spent in the shower, the mirror, and the mall. But here's a new twist to the things-a-teenage-girl-might-do repertoire: human trafficking.
Two 15-year-old Canadian gals -- and a 17-year-old who's since gone on the lam -- are facing multiple charges after police say they forced other underage girls into prostitution. Using (surprise, surprise) social media, they corralled three victims between the ages of 13 and 17 to a home in Ottawa. The abductees were allegedly driven to various parts of the city, pimped into prostitution, and forced to perform sex acts on men. Wow. Talk about innocence lost and, apparently, stolen.
It's 10:30. Do you know where your teenager is?
To make matters worse, police say there's no evidence that the girls acted on behalf of a manipulative adult like a pimp, a wayward parent, or even a nasty older sibling. They may have, however, been products of the human trafficking system themselves at some point and decided to balk against the prostituting and stand up on the money-making end of the deal instead. It's the classic cycle of victimization when the underdog becomes the aggressor and repeats the very pattern they suffered.
That's all speculation, though. They could just be girls with a premature, early developed penchant for taking advantage of unsuspecting peers, like A Clockwork Orange type of affair. And that's even more frightening than the standard issue male perverts and pedophiles lurking about to rob them of their virtue. Who sees a teenage girl as a potential threat to the sexual sanctity of another teenage girl?
We're always hollering about keeping our kids safe on social media, but I'm pretty sure most of us wouldn't see this kind of rancidness coming on Facebook or Twitter because, again, it's cloaked in the innocence of an average teenage girl hangout. Incidentally, human trafficking as a whole is on the rise in the U.S. So the girls' involvement is just another aspect to a socially crippling sign of the times.
How harshly should the girls be punished?

The deserve what is coming to them as prescribed by Canadian laws...
This happens in the United States. Has been happening in the United States for decades without SOCIAL MEDIA. There was a case in Florida where a new to town teenage girl got to know another girl and had a pretend family, etc to lure the girl into prostitution. The girl went to the new kid's house to have a sleepover and hang out, she was drugged and when she came to a few times she was being raped. She had been sold by the time she woke up to someone and was being transported there. She managed to escape and call 911 and her mom. The police didn't believe her because she had run away before and was known as promiscious. The people who did that to that girl are still free to my knowledge. Sometimes there aren't happy endings, many times these kids just vanish into thin air. Its just like the 125,000 African American kids who disappear every year in America too. Where do they go and why isn't anyone concerned about it? I tried to teach my college students this information. That human trafficking and slavery still exists. They could not wrap their heads around this topic. They didn't understand what it meant even though they got drug trafficking down and understood that. We need to realize that the world's problems are here too. That there is evil everywhere. And the only thing we can do about it is raise conscious kids, who know to watch their surroundings and to spot things that seem out of place and odd, and what to do when they notice those things.
that really surprises me, thats new, even for mean girls. parents, how are we failing our kids so badly? so many lost in all that, both sides and their families. lets hope their parents dont bail them out of jail, parents have to let their kids learn a lesson!!! that is a huge part of the problem : ( its all so sad.
