Some my wine/meads have been a bit bubbly after bottling. I'm thinking the problem is I have not be degassing. If I use a drill whip, how do I ensure I will not bruise or aerate the brew?
The oxidation in wine you get from vigorous degassing is minimal compared to beer, and those flavors are actually beneficial.
The cardboard or paper flavors that brewers fear from post fermentation oxidation are a result melanoidin based molecules. Melanoidins are very low in wine.
They sell those wine whips that attach to a drill for a reason. Whip away and get that gas out. The out serious out gassing will also counter act some of the O2 pick up.
I make wine as well as beer, and whipping it into a frothy mess is not a problem for the wine. In fact, you need to get the gas out to help ensure clarity steps further down the road. We also add sulfite base stabilizers to wine which helps with oxidation.
I'd recommend strongly that you use your wine whip with you fermentor either in a larger sink or place in on a couple old towels. The wine will foam over if you are in a 6 gallon carboy with 5 gallons of wine.
You should be agitating the wine or mead without sloshing it. The agitation happens under the surface, which causes the co2 to be released. There should be little or no motion on the surface, and certainly no splashing.
This next point is a bit controversial - for mead, don't worry about oxidization - the oxidization of honey is apparently actually flavorful, according to Moonlight Meadery
I've had meads that have suffered from oxidation and have turned for the worse. I believed this to be at least partially at fault of using a drill whip to degas. After doing more research and experimentation, I've decided that the best method to degas my wines & meads is to actually use a vacuum. I've had successful results of using a foodsaver to degas, similar to what is seen here in this video.
My advice to anyone trying this is to take one of your bungs, and make a custom fit from the vacuum. I used hot glue to the bung, and it creates a air tight seal.

Journal & Courier: March 21, 2012 - Common Ground planning includes conversation circles
Written by BOB SCOTT
Jos Holman succinctly summed up the Building Common Ground Initiative.
"If you have a problem, you can never resolve it if you don't talk about it," the librarian at the Tippecanoe County Public Library said Wednesday.
Holman and other community leaders held a press conference to give details about the Building Common Ground Initiative.
The goal of the communitywide effort is to explore and improve civility and inclusion through discussion groups and special presentations.
The county library is one of 30 libraries nationally to receive a $2,500 grant from the American Library Association and the Fetzer Institute to start the Building Common Ground Initiative.
The theme of the initiative is "Building Common Ground: Discussions of Community, Civility and Compassion."
"Conversation circles" will be held starting Sept. 15 at the downtown library. Details are still being finalized. Trained facilitators will lead the free discussions that are open to the public.
Initiative partners include the county library, the Diversity Round Table of Greater Lafayette Commerce and the Division of Diversity & Inclusion at Purdue University.
Holman said the initiative's programs will give citizens an opportunity to examine civility "as it relates to diversity and inclusion."
"The idea of fostering engagement through civic reflection encourages individual reflection on how we interact with other human beings," Holman said. "Respect for all, integrity and service for all, are library values."
Upcoming events include a May report on three focus groups in the community -- African American, Latino/Latina and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer).
Also speaking at the press conference were Doug Mansfield, board chairman, Greater Lafa-yette Commerce; Christine Taylor, vice provost for diversity and chief diversity officer, Purdue University; and Barbara S. Clark, Diversity Round Table co-facilitator, Greater Lafayette Commerce.
Mansfield said he was supporting the initiative because "Greater Lafayette Commerce is always looking for ways to make us a community of choice."
Taylor emphasized that Purdue wants its students to "thrive, not just survive." She said the initiative will educate people on many levels.
"Race issues are the most underdiscussed things in our nation," Taylor said. "Diversity and inclusion are hard issues.
"The idea and focus is to give people skills to conduct conversation circles and have sensitivity to approach those issues."

Just ordered one! thanks! added a $0.99 mystery item and the total came to $8.97. No idea what i am in for, it's my first time using the site
@cogerd: This is one of my favorite deal sites (behind Woot, of course). I always fall for the 99 cent extra item, too. None of the extra items have ever been mind-boggling, but I've gotten some pretty interesting things including a couple of kitchen gadgets, some pet toys, and a software program for scrapbooking (that I gave to my sister). This time of year there always seems to be a stocking to stuff or a Kris Kringle exchange where the random crap we score can be gifted.
I'm going on an adventure!

Many think of winter as a time to focus on caring for the interior of the home. Homeowners vigilantly perform tasks such as sealing windows to minimize heat loss, keeping chimneys cleared and running water to ensure that pipes don't burst. During this time, it's often assumed that outdoor home maintenance, like most yard work, is on hiatus until the warmer months reappear.
But while mid-January may not be the ideal time to drag out the ladder and start on that new coat of paint, it is a crucial time of year to monitor the effects of cold, rain and winter weather on your home's roof and gutter system. Steve Ramser, president of local roofing and guttering company Highland Roofing, urges homeowners to be on the lookout for evidence of leaks and gutter blockage.
"After a downpour, we'll get a lot of leak calls," Ramser explained. "After a heavy snow, melting and freezing at the eave and gutter can cause ice dams that can cause leaks. It's helpful to remember that most residential roofing systems are not waterproof. If water is allowed to pool on shingle roof, it will find its way into your home or attic."
A leak in the roof can lead to interior home damage such as stained ceilings and walls, rotting or weakened spots within the structure, mildew and various types of mold growth. It can also contribute to energy loss, and even increase the odds that additional leaks will form, pointed out Ramser. "If water is entering your attic, your insulation is getting wet and likely to be rendered ineffective. If you have insufficient insulation or ventilation in your attic, your roof is more likely to have ice dams after a heavy snow and freeze/thaw cycles." As a result, a small leak that might have been fixed by simply replacing a few shingles or unclogging a gutter blockage, unaddressed can exponentially increase the amount of damage both to your home's exterior and interior.
To ensure your roof continues to keep your family warm, dry and cozy during the winter months, Ramser advises taking a few simple steps. The first and easiest task is simply to be watchful for debris, whether it be on the roof or obstructing the gutter – especially after inclement weather. Leaves, branches and the water that can freeze after pooling around them, "can impede the free flow of water from the top of your roof to the ground and away from your home," he noted. Even if one has installed gutter shields to reduce the accumulation of debris, Ramser advises thoroughly cleaning them out at least once a year, oftener if there are trees near your home.
It's also important to regularly scan the inside of your house for water spots, so that they can be addressed before they cause significant damage to your home. "After a hard blowing rain, check every ceiling for any sign of a leak," suggested Ramser. A quick look inside your attic after rain can also help you diagnose a leak, before it even makes its way to your ceiling.
Finally, be aware of your roof's age and state – if it's been around for a long time, chances are higher that a shingle may become loose, damaged or come off altogether during high winds or after freezing and thawing. This is an easy way to prevent problems before the next rain- or snowfall, mentioned Ramser. "It's never a bad idea to have a professional look over your roof, but it doesn't take a professional to see if something is missing on your roof."
Following these simple steps now can help save your home – and your budget – from unnecessary damage in the long run.

Usually one shows the density of the functions $\sin(kx)$ in $L^2([0,1])$ using the Fourier transform. This in fact comes from the Stone-Weirstrass theorem however and then uses the density of continuous functions in $L^2([0,1])$.
However, the Stone Weirstrass theorem can be used to show, for example, that the functions $e^{ikx}$ are dense in $C([0,1])$ and hence dense in $L^1([0,1])$ as well. So we obtain (not-necessarily-unique) coefficients $c_k$ such that $f_k(x) =c_ke^{ikx}$ converge to any given $f \in L^1([01])$. How should I think about these coefficients? How do they relate to the Fourier series of $f$ (with basis $e^{ikx})$?

I learned that the Sun guys used the login name as salt for password hashing. Is this a common approach? What are the most common salt values?
Using the login name as salt is common but not really recommended: it does only part of the job. The point of a salt is to be as unique as possible among all instances of hashed passwords, so as to thwart any attempt as parallel attacks (attacking several hashed passwords simultaneously, using precomputed tables such as rainbow tables... are parallel attacks). On distinct systems, several users may share the same login name (there are so many Jones and Smiths out there). Also, a given user may change his password while keeping his name; but even an old password is valuable for an attacker (if only because an old password is often a password that the user will reuse the next time he is being instructed to change his password; also, many users will use identical passwords on other systems).
The recommended way to generate a salt is to use a good random number generator (ideally cryptographically strong RNG) and have it produce a bunch of random bytes. If the salt is long enough (16 bytes or more) then this ensure the required uniqueness with overwhelming probability, and without much hassle (no need to lookup in a database of existing salts, for instance).
We can only hope that this recommended way is also, or will soon become, the "most common" way.
The following is a decent system for salting and hashing passwords. There are a number of points to keep in mind, which is why it looks long. This is a typical example of what one should do when it comes to salt-hashing; I am not going to address what Sun does.
Salts and passwords are best dealt with as raw bytes (
Let's generate a new salt using a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator to generate the salt. In Ruby, that library is conveniently called
Let's use SHA256 as our underlying hash algorithm. All hash algorithms have an output size, which is the size in bits of the output of the hash function. All hash algorithms also have a characteristic internal block size, which is not the same as the output size. Let's use a salt as large as the hash algorithm's block size. We do this because this is the largest amount of entropy we can add to the password before hashing it. If we use a larger salt than the block size of the underlying hash algorithm, then HMAC will simply hash the salt first to obtain a smaller salt, reducing its entropy, before mixing it with the password. The block size of SHA256 is 512 bits (= 64 bytes), so let's use a 64-byte salt.
Let's use HMAC-SHA256 instead of SHA256 directly, which does a little bit more work to keep the password safe. We will use the salt as the key parameter to HMAC-SHA256 instead of prepending it to the password. HMAC-SHA256 wraps up SHA256 and does a little extra work to merge the salt with the password.
Finally, the hash algorithms such as SHA-256 are designed to be fast. Whatever our code does overall, it's likely to be spending 1% of its time authenticating users and 99% other stuff. If an attacker gets a copy of the password file, his code is likely to be spending 100% of its time brute-forcing the passwords. So let's make the overall algorithm super-slow: not too slow that it impinges on the rest of our code, but slow enough to discourage the attacker. Let's take a parameter called the work factor (which might be 16), and iterate HMAC-SHA256 2 ^ work-factor times (65536 times in the example). If the work factor were 2, then that would look like
A good yet simple solution in Ruby:

Body Image: Personal Account of Love and Acceptance
Submitted by Editor on
Great article from Longmont resident, multi-sport athlete and elite cyclist, Becky Furuta.
From LiveWell Longmont:
My body and I have a long history. It's a story of loyalty and betrayal, of adventures and near misses, of love and, yes, loathing. We've been together for 34 years and, during that time, my body has let me down more than once. It embarrassed me at age four when, in the middle of a ballet recital, its awkwardness was cause for my instructor to tell my mother that I was "hopelessly lacking in grace." . . .

Smells nice, easy to dispense, seems to work
By Judith
from New York, NY
It's easy to dispense, it smells pleasant, and my dog is feeling better. I can't see anything wrong with it.
Works exactly like it should!
By OneLuckyMom
from Old Hickory, TN
Our 10 year old Lucky had been diagnosed with elevated Liver levels. The vet put him on Denamarin which is very costly on a monthly basis. I researched and found that the primary ingredient was milk thistle so I found your site and was very pleased with the price of your organic milk thistle. No more shoving pills down his throat. Just a dropper full on his food each morning and he is back to his old self. Active, playing, eating and drinking normally. Love this product and will continue to buy it again and again!

Works but may cause diarrhea
By karsmitty
from Pennsylvania
During routine blood work prior to having a dental, my cat had elevated liver values. I purchased this product because it was the most reliable way to ensure my cat was receiving the supplement. I gave my cat the max dose recommended for cats in the morning, & then would give him the minimum recommended dose in the evening, always with food both times. It is noted on the label that cats can be dosed twice per day. My cat developed diahrrea within a few days of starting this supplement, & also foamed at the mouth a little when I administered it. This supplement did bring his liver values down within the normal range after a few weeks when we rechecked his blood work. I would suggest starting your pet out on the lowest recommended dose to see how their system reacts to it. If you don't see any changes in the bowels, then you may want to try increasing the dose slightly, but monitor for gastro problems. I wish I would have started my cat out on the minimum dose first instead of starting at the maximum recommended dose, but it did work.
Worked wonders for my cat!

After 2 months on this product, they dropped by over 50% and are now in perfectly normal range! I've only used the low dosage recommended (10 drops once or twice daily) and as opposed to other milk thistle tinctures I had tried, it didn't give my cat diarrhea. This product has saved me a lot of money that I would give to get the liver support medication my vet prescribed, and now my vet knows about it too and will suggest it to his other patients!

Bad-smelling, bad-taste supplement
By cat lover
from Pigeon, WV
I had ordered this supplement, because my cat had been diagnosed with FIV and I had read where Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root were good for this condition. But I found that my cat refused to take it, even when I mixed it with his favorite food, even salmon or cooked chicken. Even his siblings refused it as well. I tried to force it on him and that didn't happen. I smelled it and I wouldn't want to take it either. It has a very nasty medicinal smell. I was advised to let the alcohol evaporate, but it still did not get rid of the medicinal smell and neither would they have anything to do with it, so I would not recommend it for any animal owner. I would think they would mix it with something other than an alcohol base in order for them to want to eat it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Alcohol is an excellent carrier to extract the herbs so that is why it used in most tinctures. You can then "burn off" the alcohol just by letting a dose sit out for about 20 minutes.
Have high hopes this will be helpful

My 15-year old cat has elevated liver enzymes. I put 10 drops on top of her 5.5 oz. canned food every morning. The product is easy to use and my cat likes the taste. I will find out how effective it is the next time she has blood work done. Make sure your cat has plenty of filtered fresh water at all times as liver problems cause excessive thirst.

Dandelion/Milk Thistle saved my Dog
By Bigdaddydon
from Cambridge, MN
I always try to go Homopathic route. Animals and Humans suffer from all the Artifically produced medicines. If you can get the product or medicine naturally, then you don't have to worry about problems. I needed the Dandelion Thistle because my Rescue Dog Matilda (puppy mill throw away) was of no more use to her breeders, so they threw her out into a road that was busy with traffic. Luckly a St Frands Rescue Volunter saw her and picked her up. She is now after two years in much better health as her body was getting full of skin tags caused by her cruel owners and her liver started giving out. Dandelion Milkthistle saved her. She gets an eye dropper twice a day. Thank you for being there for us pet owners.
