Add it to Goodreads
Francesca battles her mother, Mia, constantly over what's best for her. All Francesca wants is her old friends and her old school, but instead Mia sends her to St. Sebastian's, an all-boys' school that has just opened its doors to girls. Now Francesca's surrounded by hundreds of boys, with only a few other girls for company. All of them weirdos, or worse.
Then one day, Mia is too depressed to get out of bed. One day turns into months, and as her family begins to fall apart, Francesca realizes that without her mother's high spirits, she hardly knows who she is. But she doesn't yet realize that she's more like Mia than she thinks. With a little unlikely help from St. Sebastian's, she just might be able to save her family, her friends, and - especially- herself.
why i chose itI may be the very last person to have read this book, having only read it last year, but it's been around for more than 10 years and definitely qualifies as a Throwback Thursday title.
What Marchetta does so brilliantly is write about families and their every day lives in a way that is painfully real. Francesca not only has to settle into a new school and find new friends, she has to deal with growing apart from her old friends, negotiating a co-ed environment that is not girl-friendly, and deciding what she wants to do with her life. At the same time, her mother, the glue that holds her family together, is falling apart. Francesca feels helpless and angry and most of all, terrified that the same thing will happen to her. There are a lot of books which explore the complexities of mental illness, but few that look at the effects not just on the individual, but on their entire family.
Just in case I am not the last person to read this, and you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.

Fantasy - Sarah's Entry
I really enjoyed seeing everybody's High school prompted books last time around and here's hoping even more of you share your own this time. Without further ado here is the second theme - Fantasy.
A big part of me just wanted to list the first three books in Lynette Noni's Medoran Chronicles. Noni's captivating fantasy series has fast become one of my all-time favourites alongside Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. And she's only put out the first three books!
> > Akarnae (The Medoran Chronicles #1) by Lynette Noni < <
A fast and fun read that had me dying to get my hands on the second book. A strong start to an entertaining and captivating series. The main characters are all easily likable and I fell for them immediately. New friends are made, a whole new world is discovered, as are all new dangers. The story was fast paced, easy to read and flowed really well.

Now my minds going off on a tangent, thinking of books that I never shut up about. The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf and The Tribe trilogy springs to mind. Yeah, it's normally listed as a Dystopian but I have seen it as Fantasy, and it's just so fantastic how could I not bring it up. Yep that works for me.
> > The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf (The Tribe #1) by Ambelin Kwaymullina < <
This story is fresh and exciting. It is action packed, high danger with just the right about of young romance. Ashala is amazing, in fact so are all the Tribe members and Ashala's connection to natural world is truly beautiful.
Kwaymullina writing flows beautifully and is filled with powerful energy. This book was a real pleasure to read and had me racing out to read the second book.

Now I'm thinking, ok I've got two awesome Aussie ladies how about an awesome Aussie fella to finish off the third – enter Jay Kristoff and Nevernight.
> > Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle #1) by Jay Kristoff < <
I haven't read this one, but it is sitting on my shelf waiting for me and I'm super keen. All the reviews I've read have praised Kristoff for its action filled stabby-stabby awesomeness and positive and empowering sexiness. It is listed as YA but I've seen some reviewers question whether it is too descriptive with its violence and sex scene to be classed as such. But teens can handle a lot more than they are given credit for. Parental prerogative, I do not intend to censor reading material.

There is nothing better when this world is getting you down then getting swept off into another. Am I right? Yes, yes I am.
Author Spotlight - Rachael Craw Q&A
We are so excited to have the fabulous New Zealand author, Rachael Craw, as our guest this month. She very graciously took time out from her busy writing schedule to answer a few questions for us.
What are you reading at the moment (or, what's the last book you read)?
I recently finished Strange The Dreamer by Laini Taylor, which I had been saving for a jolly good wallow. I adore Taylor's work, her rich imagery, world building and characterisation. I was not disappointed. It was completely exquisite and riveting. I read Fleur Ferris new YA thriller, Wreck afterwards – an adrenaline filled page-turner. I love Ferris' urgent, action-packed style and I lapped it up. I am just about to read Kylie Scott's first YA novel, Trust. I'm excited to crack into it.
There's a lot of love for the Spark series in both Australia and NZ, how does it feel to have your characters come to life in other people's imagination?
It's a dream come true. I love hearing from a reader who has fallen in love with the characters and the world of the story. That kind of investment is priceless.
What has been the highlight of your publishing journey so far?
Gosh, this is tough question. There are so many aspects that never get old – like seeing your book in print for the first time. Hearing from a passionate fan. Going to writer's festivals has been incredible. I've been able to come to Australia for several events that I would never have been able to attend otherwise. The Perth Writer's Festival, Somerset Celebration of Literature, Reading Matters. Amazing.
Your new book has been announced and I know you're working on that at the moment - what can you tell us about it?
Black Water Cull is YA speculative fiction. It's set on a mysterious island (I have been fantasizing about setting a novel on an island for few years and I am so in love with the moody/brooding/landscape). There is a dimensional rift through which slip creatures from another time and place causing havoc for the locals. There is a mystical herd of deer protected by an elite force of Rangers. There is an infamously dangerous 4 yearly cull to protect the fragile eco-system of Black Water Island and ruthless fortune hunters who risk everything to get their hands on Actaeon's Bane a priceless compound only found in the bones of Black Water deer. The cull is really the backdrop to a very human drama. Cal West is a ranger and Meg Archer is a young hunter who returns to the island looking for closure on a childhood trauma that links their lives.
Now that you've had a complete series released, is the writing experience different this time?
No. I always find it hard. Never easy. But I love it. Even when I hate it, I love it. Hopefully, I'm a little more instinctual and have a more refined ear but it's an ongoing learning curve. I always want to be better.
We are all about promoting both Australian and NZ authors. A lot of our readers don't have much experience with NZ YA - can you share some of your favourites with us?
My favourite NZ author is Elizabeth Knox. Her Dreamhunter/Dreamquake duet are so brilliant. Mortal Fire is wonderfully magical and beautifully written. Kate De Goldi is another kiwi author hero, I love The 10pm Question. Karen Healey writes amazing YA, When We Wake and When We Run are very clever furture/dystopia novels inspired by Sleeping Beauty. Bernard Beckett, Brian Faulkner are exceptional. One of my favourite Middle Grade authors is Sue Copsey who writes brilliant ghost stories for kids.
Sweet or savoury?
I have to have both. Kettle corn is the ultimate. That and salted caramel.
What advice do you have for young people who want to become writers?
Read a lot. Write a lot. Learn to receive criticism. When a trusted mentor points out the problems in your work it forces you to seek creative solutions which makes the work better. I wanted to be good more than I wanted to be published and I really wanted to be published. So, I determined to receive criticism because I desperately wanted to make my work better. I don't regret a single cut, change, edit. Also: never give up.
Why did you choose to write for a YA audience rather than adult spec-fic?
I really can't imagine writing anything else. I'm not sure what it says about me but I just knew I would write YA. I love that on the cusp of life aspect to that age and stage of life.
Thank you so much to Rachael for taking the time to answer our questions! I'm sure we're all looking forward to reading Black Water Cull!

It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping.
Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl?
why i chose itI really liked The Wrong Girl because there were a lot of things to like about it! Which may sound obvious, but it's true. I loved the gothic setting. It's what drew me to read this book in the first place (along with that absolutely lovely cover, which still remains a favourite). The romance ignited quickly, but didn't move at a breakneck speed, which was refreshing. The main character was likeable, and her voice was incredibly unique. Secondary characters were standouts, and the ending left me wanting to read the sequel straight away - which is always a good sign.
If you're interested in reading The Wrong Girl it's actually free on Amazon!

High School - Nicole's Entry
High school is such a great theme to start with - so much YA deals with the high school experience. I find American books don't really capture the reality of an Australian high school, we don't tend to have cafeterias or cheerleaders, and I have no idea what a pep rally is. I was at high school a long time ago, in fact this weekend I'm going to a significantly numbered reunion!
High school is a pretty difficult time for most people, and while I enjoyed it for the most part, there are definitely things I would go back and change.
So here are my choices to represent high school. One that I read in high school, one that represents who I was, and one that represents experiences I had.
Unlike the protagonist in The Things I Didn't Say, I definitely didn't have selective mutism at school, but I did have a lot of anxiety and there is so much that I wish I had said and done when I had the chance.
I read Obernewtyn in year 8, when it was newly published, and while it wasn't the first fantasy book I read, it was the first Australian fantasy I read, and it started my love affair with the genre.
Begin, End, Begin: A #LoveOzYA Anthology I've added because of one story in particular - Sundays, by Melissa Keil. I loved this particular story so much because I went to several parties exactly like that in high school. It resonated completely. Someone's kissing someone they're not supposed to, someone else has passed out in the bathroom, and all you want to do is find your friends and go home. Or to McDonald's for a 3am cheeseburger.

Madeleine Tully lives in Cambridge, England, the World - a city of spires, Isaac Newton and Auntie's Tea Shop.
Elliot Baranski lives in Bonfire, the Farms, the Kingdom of Cello - where seasons roam, the Butterfly Child sleeps in a glass jar, and bells warn of attacks from dangerous Colours. They are worlds apart - until a crack opens up between them; a corner of white - the slim seam of a letter.
Elliot begins to write to Madeleine, the Girl-in-the-World - a most dangerous thing to do for suspected cracks must be reported and closed.
But Elliot's father has disappeared and Madeleine's mother is sick. Can a stranger from another world help to unravel the mysteries in your own? Can Madeleine and Elliot find the missing pieces of themselves before it is too late?
A mesmerising story of two worlds; the cracks between them, the science that binds them and the colours that infuse them.
why i chose itA Corner of White was actually book-pushed onto me by my mum. She saw it at Big W, and really liked the cover so she bought it. And then fell in love with it. Only when the third book, A Tangle of Gold, was about to be released did I finally read A Corner of White.
I ended up absolutely loving it. Which just goes to show you should listen to your mother *laughs* A Corner of White was magical, and beautiful, and all kinds of those really lovely adjectives. I adored every single character, most of all Elliot Baranski, who is my precious cinnamon child and needs to be protected.
A Corner of White is incredibly unique and whimsical, which works for some people and not for others. For me, I just went with it and ended up loving it. The sequel was even more to my tastes, and it actually a favourite book!

A Shadow's Breath Guest Post + Giveaway!
In some of my favourite Aussie YA, what really stands out to me is how authors depict the Australian landscape - whether it be physically in the city or the outback, or culturally through our resilience and ability to relate to others. A Shadow's Breath by Nicole Hayes is one of those books which does this exceptionally well, alongside providing a story which is compelling and full of suspense!
Guest Post by Nicole Hayes - Writing A Shadow's Breath
It makes sense that this competition is about capturing a visual depiction of A Shadow's Breath since that's how the first words of this novel came to me.
I generally start a story with a solid idea of what I want to say, a big picture concept or theme I want to explore, and, usually, the main character has already started to "speak" to me as part of this. Not in a woo-woo way. Ha! But because I've already played around with her voice, or thought about what sort of person she might be, by testing out her words in my head even before I write anything down. This is how Shelley in The Whole of My World and Frankie in One True Thing emerged when I sat down to write those books, seeming to leap off the page largely formed.
With A Shadow's Breath, those early images in my head were more visual than anything else. I could see this girl waking up after an accident in the hot, dry Australian bush with that enormous, cerulean-blue sky above her. I've collected so many pictures of the Australian landscape and our incredible skies over the years, gathering them in my memories, feeding them with my imagination, that they essentially forced themselves out of me when I attempted to write Tessa's story.
In this way, the natural world is as much a character in A Shadow's Breath as Tessa Gilham is. The vastness of the bush, the history and timelessness of our amazing outback, the awesome shifts in weather, the creatures, and always, always the heat. How incredibly powerful the elements are when they work together to create a unique country that is beautiful, ravaging, but also terrifying. So many ways to die here! I had a million possibilities and challenges for Tessa and Nick to overcome – quite apart from the problems in their relationship – and all of them so visceral and alive that the words flew out of me.
But the thing that gripped me most, apart from all the fabulous (from a writer's point of view!) dangers and perils that lurk in our landscape, was what it looked like. The colours and textures, the shapes and edges. Once I started exploring these possibilities, I quickly found that the language around our wilderness is rich and evocative, atmospheric and complex in style and substance. An unpredictable! I loved the idea of that vast, open blue of a dry summer's day set against the purples and greys of sudden, terrifying summer storms. And I spent a lot of time trying to capture all this, relishing the process of finding the precise word, the ideal colour, the perfect slant of light to match what I could see in my head.
But I knew that this in itself isn't a story.
Story is about characters, about people, relating – or often, not relating – and because Tessa's story of abuse and neglect was one I'd heard too often and witnessed at different times, it became really clear how this almost alien, brutal landscape provided a metaphor for Tessa's struggle to feel safe anywhere – at school, in her small, claustrophic town, in her own home. To Tessa, the perils of the outback were bearable compared to what she'd survived already. Which was why the story became two narratives running alongside each other: the Now story, of Tessa and Nick fighting to stay alive after a car accident in the middle of nowhere, struggling to make their way out of the bush, carrying injuries of all kinds, physical and psychological. Their relationship as tenuous at that moment as their grip on life. And the Then chapters, of the days leading up to the accident, the small-town gossip surrounding a girl like Tessa whose family history is as notorious and damaged as Tessa is. And her own struggle to believe anything good could happen to her, but also, incredibly, beginning those first steps toward moving on. Believing.
When I brought all these components together, I realised I was writing something I'd always wanted to write: a survival story set in the Australian bush, driven by a protagonist who is smart, capable, and fiercely independent in a survival sense – socially and physically – but also afraid to trust or believe in the simplest and most important things: love, family, forgiveness. If it wasn't for her best friend, Yuki, she would have given up years ago.
But Tessa does believe in her art, in the freedom it gives her to safely explore her darkest fears, her deepest secrets, including the darkest of all. A secret she's never told anyone, not even Yuki, and definitely not her mum. And the thing that drove her and Nick into the bush in the first place, the reason she's afraid to go home.
Even more frightening than the harsh, perilous Australian bush.
Extract from A Shadow's Breath
Vast sky. Blue and wide and impossibly bright. Tessa blinks. Blinks again. A shadow falls, then passes. Heat like a wall presses against her. The rustle of wind in leaves. Or something moving outside? She listens, strains towards the sound. Now barely a whisper of noise that might not be real. And then it's gone. She squeezes her eyes shut. Opens them. A rushing sound fills her head like a conch shell held to her ear. Her skin stretched taut against her cheekbones, her lips crusty and dry as a scab.
Still. That sky. She can't look at it for long before the black dots appear. The feeling of life – hot and bright and wondrous.
She'll be okay, it seems to tell her. She'll be okay. And she fixes on that single thing – the notion that life still beats on inside her – before the weight of consciousness grows too heavy and she allows herself to fall into that blessed dark, the silence a welcome relief, knowing she'll come out the other side.
Wherever that is.

Pride Month Guest Post: Bisexual YA #ownvoices Novels by Sarah @ Written Word Worlds
To celebrate Pride Month we asked Aussie bloggers from the LGBTQIA+ community to submit some guest posts for our blog! Sarah, a passionate advocate for LGBTQIA+ diversity was kind enough to write the following (amazing) post. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did!
One thing I've become a lot more aware about by being a part of the online bookish community is the diversity in certain books. Being a white cis woman living in Australia, I recognise my privilege and can see that I'm represented in a lot of what I read, but being a part of the online community has widened my perspective and has allowed me to discover more diverse books and novels that represent other parts of my identity, such as my sexual orientation and my experiences with mental illness. When I read my first novel with a queer protagonist, The Flywheel, it changed my life. Suddenly, I realised that my feelings were valid and didn't have to be kept secret, and that allowed me to not feel as alone anymore.
Realising that there was more novels out there than the ones that just contained straight, cis, white, able-bodied, neurotypical protagonists was a world-changing experience for me. It was one that altered the way I saw books that I previously loved, and changed what books I bought, and why I bought them. I wanted to read more books that conveyed how beautiful and vibrant and diverse the world really is, not just offering a slice of a white, heteronormative, neurotypical society that we're given too much of on a regular basis. But also, I wanted to read books that were representative of my identity. There's nothing quite like seeing yourself reflected back at you through the pages of a book. It makes you feel seen. Heard. Like who you are and what you stand for matters. That you matter.
And so my quest for reading more novels with queer protagonists began — if they were bi, that was even more exciting. One book I discovered that I connected with in so many ways, and contained a character that I saw so much of myself in, was Our Own Private Universe. While it was only released earlier this year, I hadn't found anything that I saw so much of who I am as a person in before reading it, or after. The struggles of the two main characters were struggles that I have, or I'm continuing, to struggle with, and their relationship experiences were unbelievably similar to mine. It was astounding that a book, or an author, was writing about everything I was going through in such a raw and heartfelt way. Because of that, Our Own Private Universe has got to be one of the best books I've ever read.
Another one of my favourite books with a bisexual protagonist is Queens of Geek. Queens of Geek is a gorgeous novel about fandoms and friendship and embracing your identity, and perhaps one of the aspects I loved so much about it was that it wasn't about sexuality. It's easy to write novels about someone struggling with their sexuality, but that's not what we want to read all the time. Yes, it's important to read those stories too, and the stories where one's sexuality is the centre focus, but it's also important to simply have diverse characters in the narrative and not have what makes them diverse as their defining quality. Queens of Geek is diverse and adorable and filled with gorgeous characters that leap right off the pages. If only Charlie could leap right into my arms.
One of the best novels I've read all year is undeniably Radio Silence, which is a novel that also contains a bisexual protagonist. And there are other queer characters too! This was another book where the protagonist's sexuality wasn't the main focus, and unlike many of the other books I've read with queer protagonists, this isn't a book with much romance in it at all. It was refreshing to read about a bisexual girl in this light because surprise! We do have lives beyond our bisexual tendencies! She and another main character, Aled Last, were such adorable queer munchkins and there's nothing I wanted more than to just hug them.
Ah, I could write about my favourite queer characters for days, but I have to restrain myself! Highly commended goes to Far From You — a mystery / crime novel with a bisexual protagonist and an intense narrative, which I recommend for everyone who loves something a bit darker! And Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is simply delightful. Then there are a multitude of novels with bisexual main characters that I haven't got around to reading yet, so I'll put a list of those ones below!
What are your favourite books containing queer characters? Have you read any novels with bisexual protagonists? Have you read any of the novels I've mentioned? What's one book you see yourself represented in? I'd love to know!

Since before breakfast, I have been on 10m WSPR TX (500mW). Although I have spotted Finnish stations on 6m JT65, there are no reports as yet of my 10m WSPR. As I have said before, my antenna is probably poorer on 10m, but also I think the 2 minute TX time causes some spots to be missed. It would be good to have a version of WSPR with 1 minute periods WSPR1? This would be an ideal mode for Es when signals can be strong but openings brief.
UPDATE 1728z: 9 unique spots of my 500mW 10m WSPR so far - all Europeans by Es. So far, just Denmark and Germany on 10m WSPR.

She does really look good here. First time in a while.
She looks beautiful like this. I love the softened look on her.
It's interesting that he said he bought a new Miami condo, because wasn't he having some tax problems and owed the IRS money awhile back? Maybe he bought it was some of J.Lo's cash. She always looks very presentable and polished when she's out, even when she's not on the red/orange carpet.
They look like they are going to a movie premiere not MNF!
She's looking amazing. Yes, I know - it takes a village, fake eyelashes, ton of makeup, personal trainers, etc. But still. JLo is very smart about her weight, she doesn't look starved and it makes a huge difference.
where were serena and venus in all this? they are part owners too right? anyway, i think that it makes sense that they have a miami place - it suits them :)
she's so pretty ! love that the dark hair are back.
trust me- nobody in Miami really is that happy about these 2 being partial owners.
That's funny - and totally true. I really don't get their relationship.
watch out Miami there is a zombie in your midst.

Filipinos celebrate Santo Nino festival
Devotion a manifestation of their love for children, says bishop
Dancers perform in the streets of Manila to celebrate the feast of Santo Nino
ucanews.com reporters, Manila
January 17, 2011
Filipinos celebrated the feast of Santo Nino (Child Jesus) on Jan 16 with colorful parades, fluvial processions, street dancing and other festive rites in different parts of the Philippines. In the central Philippine city of Cebu, the faithful held the "Sinulog" in honor of Señor Santo Niño, the oldest festival in the country. Also in central Philippines, the crowds gathered for the "Ati-Atihan" in Aklan province, "Biniray" in Romblon, "Binirayan" and "Handugan" in Antique, and "Dinagyang" in Iloilo. In Southern Philippines it's the "Pachada Senor" in Cagayan de Oro City, "Kahimunan" in Butuan City and "Zambulawan" in Pagadian City. Similar festivities were also held in the northern provinces of Bulacan, Ilocos Norte and Pangasinan. In Metro Manila, the center of celebration was the Santo Niño de Tondo Parish in Tondo, Manila, where large crowds of devotees attended the hourly Masses, held a procession of Santo Nino images and celebrated the "Lakbayaw" street dancing and festivities. Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo of Manila said the devotion of Filipinos to the Santo Nino is a manifestation of their love for children. "This only shows that Filipinos love children," he said. Meanwhile, Church leaders urged young people in Aklan to become good leaders and inspire the next generation to celebrate the annual "Ati-Atihan" festival according to Catholic tradition and challenged devotees to "find Santo Nino" in the festivity and become aware of the issues surrounding the festival.

Seth The Kind Wanderer (25 Mar 2015 - 1 Jan 2016)
As the old generation faded into memory, a new breed of fearless warriors, shamans, and monks would rise to pick up where the ancients had left off. Most notably the young soul, Seth. Seth had modestly risen to power during an uncertain time; using his knowledge and principles to serve as a beacon of light for those who wandered aimlessly in search of hope. His teachings suggested empathy, self-improvement, and a preference for the fabulous; teachings that he gave away freely as he walked the halls of the empire. Frustrated by the failure of the Admin (as the ancients had before him) to activate the affinity crystals necessary to move Anispace forward, he had resigned without provocation in search for the next chapter of his still young life.

Read More
With the conclusion of the second wave of Moderators, a third wave influence would quickly rise to power and answer the call for stability and order. As history usually reveals, a handful of the current warriors would rapidly rise through the ranks to demonstrate their leadership, fearsome power, and ability to maintain civility with grace and dignity in an environment of unspeakable chaos. Without question no one had been successful to display these qualities better than the magnificent Goddess, Mirage. Headstrong and formidable by nature, the radiant Moderator had battled all forms of opposition, and had taken on the burden as one of the last champions of justice. Fighting insolent users and even other members of leadership alike, she had formulated her very relaxed philosophy for how peace and productivity in the Kingdom of Anispace should be maintained and improved upon. A line of thinking she did not compromise or cave in for any lesser mortal. Members of the community who knew her best would regard her as stubborn, but for a purpose bigger than herself - kind, warm, and empathetic. Mirage always ready to lend a hand and an ear for the lost souls who travel through these walls - honorable acts for which they will be eternally grateful for.

VII Based (FM 05 Feb 2014 - 25 Mar 2015| GM 25 Mar 2015 - 8 July 2016)
When most of the 2nd generation of mods jumped ship, a new era of moderators was started. Out of the original 5 moderators chosen by the remaining 2nd gen, one of them stood out from the rest. The moderator was VII. Starting out as a moderator, he was given a hard time and singled out by part of the crew. He took matter into his own hands and carried out his duties alone. His lone wolf tendencies was frowned upon by them, but gained praise from many others for handling multiple reports ASAP. VII was known by many names: Eli, Roman, Eli-Senpai, Based, but the most frequent title was the People's Mod. VII hated to swing the ban-hammer without hesitation. He formulated many solutions for problems without having to use the hammer. There has never been a moderator like VII, and there will never be one quite like him.

Stripping in a mash tun
Southernhighlander replied to Still At It's topic in EquipmentHi Jeremiah. We have 30 or 40 combination mash tun stills in distilleries all over the US and some in Canada. We could build the column flange to go on your vessel as well as the column line arm and condenser. If you have a drawing of the tun that you could send us, we can give you a quote for everything that you need. You would just need someone there to weld on our column flange and cut the whole for the column flange. We can even supply directions so that your sanitary welder can easily do the job. Our email is firstname.lastname@example.com Shoot us out an email and we will supply the quote as well as our reference list and a list of the people using our combination Mash Tun Stills.
Anyone have experience w/ Affordable Distillery Equipment LLC??
Southernhighlander replied to rickthenewb's topic in EquipmentDave, As far as I know we have responded to all of your emails that we have received. We allways respond to all emails. Your still and Mash Tun that you ordered on Feb 27th will be delivered and set up at your distillery within the next 2 weeks.
Mile High vs. Hillbilly
Southernhighlander replied to CConway3380's topic in BeginnersPlease see the options below. When comparing apples to apples, we have the best prices in the industry as well as great quality and excellent customer service. We also have jacketed stills in which you can do grain mashes in 6 gal, 10 gal, 20 gallon and up. Unlike some of the others we have complete turn key units with heating system and controller. https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/26-gallon-moonshine-still-with-4-borosilicate-sight-glass-4-plate-column https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/26-gal-moonshine-with-4-borosilicate-glass-4-plate-column-everything-included https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/26-gal-moonshine-still-with-4-stainless-bubble-plate-w-cooling-kit https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/26-gal-moonshine-vodka-e-85-ethanol-still-4-bubble-plate-copper-stainless https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/26-gallon-moonshine-still-with-4-diameter-copper-whiskey-column-distiller https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/collections/stills/products/53-gal-moonshine-still-4-bubble-plate-copper-stainless-reflux-column-vodka-e85-6 http://distillery-equipment.com http://moonshine-still.co
Prepair for the FALLOUT!!!
Southernhighlander replied to Dehner Distillery's topic in SpeakeasyEvidently a lot of distilleries are doing really well. Several of my customers, who purchased equipment from me 3 to 5 years ago have come back and purchased larger equipment. Some of them traded in their original equipment, while others kept the original equipment and just added more capacity. One of my customers purchased a 300 gallon Ultra Pro Vodka Still, 300 gallon Pro Series Mash Tun, Rite low pressure steam boiler and several fermenters. 2 years later he added an 800 gallon Ultra Pro Whiskey Still two 800 gallon Mash Tuns and several 800 gallon Pro Series Fermenters. He is having trouble keeping up with demand and may soon add a complete 1500 gallon set up, which will put him at 2,700 gallons of still pot capacity. If distilling fallows the same path as craft brewing, then we still have room for thousands of distilleries. All industries have a some businesses going under, while some succeed and others succeed really, really well. The SBA tells us that on average, about 50% of businesses fail in the first year. I don't know the figures exactly, but I know enough to know that way more than 50% of distilleries survive the first year. Because of the demand for craft spirits, craft distilling is a great business to get into right now and it will be for some time to come. If you are well funded this is one of the best times to get, in my opinion. It's just like anything else, some will not do so well, but others will go really really far and some of the biggest winners aren't even in the game yet. http://distillery-equipment.com http://moonshine-still.co
That's Awesome! I agree, vacuum is fun and it opens up a lot of possibilities and the vacuum distillation process for beverage ethanol is a safer process, in my opinion. We've built some smaller short path ethanol reclamation stills with vacuum pumps. They reclaim ethanol from a mixture of oil and ethanol. The oil is extracted from the plant material at -80 C during the extraction process, so there is no water component in the oil ethanol mixture. The boiling point of the oil is very high, so the ethanol is easy to separate from the oil. I'm working on a design right now for a 500 gallon short path vacuum still for ethanol reclamation. It's a big jump in size from the small ones that we've built. Challenges can arise when going from small systems to large systems, but I believe we will be successful. Once we build the 500 gallon short path, we are going to start experimenting with beverage ethanol vacuum stills. The big industrial vacuum pumps are expensive, but the size needed (including installation) should cost less than the cost of a steam boiler including installation.
You can run 50% abv or 15% abv or evan 8% ABV, Running at 15psi you only add around 320 gallons of water to 2100 gallons of mash before you reach operating temp. Once operating temp is reached the total volume of liquid in the still decreases, because at that point you are vaporizing ethanol faster than you are adding water. There is no problem doing the tails cut. I have a question that will help you understand. Do you do your tails cut any differently when distilling from an 8% mash, then when you are distilling from a 50% mash? The quantities are different but the cuts are done using the same methods. Did you see my post about my new line of stills that distill below 100 degrees F? What do you think of that?

Southernhighlander replied to rickthenewb's topic in EquipmentJust thought that I would let everyone know that we are working on designs for a new line of stills that are very different than the average beverage ethanol stills that are currently in use. Our new stills will distill at less than 100 degrees F. They will be jacketed and can be heated with 165 F water from a hot water heater. These stills can be used to make any spirit that you desire. They will have an automated computer control system. We will post updates as time moves forward. firstname.lastname@example.com Also we currently have in production a new still that will produce 90 gallons per hr of 190 proof gin or vodka. The price is only $49,995.00 Email me privately about this one. It is not on the web site yet. firstname.lastname@example.com http://distillery-equipment.com http://moonshine-stills.co
Direct steam injection is an age old tried and true method for mash cooking, stripping and spirit run distillation. During the later part of the 19th century and the early 20th century, direct steam injection was used by legal bourbon and whiskey distilleries in the southern US. Though not as popular as it once was, direct steam injection is still used in legal distilleries for mash cooking, stripping, as well as spirit runs today. We have sold several steam injected mash cookers, stripping stills and spirit stills. Our steam injected spirit stills have produced spirits that have won national and international awards. Two of our steam injected stills are pictured below along with the steam injection vessels. The complete system, including the steam injectors, were designed by me. The largest steam injected spirit still in operation today was built by Vendome and is used by the Call family of NC. It is known as the Beast and it has a capacity of 2,100 gallons. It has a traditional turnip head and a thumper. For over 130 years distillers who use direct steam injection for spirit runs have claimed that their spirits are far smoother and taste cleaner than spirits ran in other types of stills. Direct steam injection has been used by moonshiners in the southern highlands of the US for well over 130 years and is probably still used today. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/for-calls-the-art-of-making-moonshine-runs-in-the_us_56fe928ae4b038fff497f81e For Calls, the Art of Making Moonshine Runs in the Family ... www.huffingtonpost.com The Calls use a 2,100-gallon still — which Brian designed and Vendome built — employing a unique method of direct-steam injection that prevents the ... http://www.blueridgeinstitute.org/moonshine/still%20_types_and_techniques.html Moonshine - Blue Ridge Style - Still Types and Techniques www.blueridgeinstitute.org Named for its squatty turnip-shaped boiler (often called the "pot"), the turnip still dates back centuries.

I'm sorry Dan. It was late and I completely misunderstood what you wrote and what was going on. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Combination mash tun and stripping still
Southernhighlander replied to Lorenzo's topic in EquipmentOur standard series combination mash tun whiskey stills will do a mash cook and whiskey run in an 8 to 10 hr day. Our steam jacketed pro series combination mash tun whiskey stills and ultra pro series combination mash tun whiskey stills, allow the customer to do a mash cook and whiskey run in 8 hrs, including clean up. Our 300 gallon stripping stills will do a stripping run in 2 hrs after reaching operating temp. Our combination smash tun stills cost exactly the same price as our stills without the mash tun option. A distillery can start with one of our combination mash tun stills and once their orders dictate, they can add a dedicated mash tun. Our 500 gallon steam fired mash tun stripping still costs $26,000.00 with built in crash cooling, that will give a 1/2 hr crash cooling time. With the correctly sized boiler, heat up to operating temp for distilling is 41 minutes and you can do a complete stripping run in 2 hrs after operating temp is reached. These units have a 304 stainless inner boiler, that is over 1/4" thick stainless steel. They have both a steam jacket and an insulation jacket.. Mirror polish inside and out with internal copper components that give more copper vapor interaction than an all copper pot still. 417-778-6100 email@example.com We offer a complete line of equipment including steam boilers.
Who is claiming "...copper is a worthless feature for a bourbon still"?
Minnetonka Dan I would like to have seen the reaction you would have gotten if you had said that to Lem Motlow or Booker Noe. For that matter, the reaction of any Master Distiller along the Bourbon trail. So, I have the same question as Silk City. RobertS is absolutely correct. 99% of the Bourbon in the US is distilled on the grain. That is the absolute best way to distill white dog for Bourbon and any Corn based Whiskey. Here is the deal. If you push off of the grain distillation equipment towards someone doing Corn Whiskey or Bourbon and you sell them that equipment, you are doing them a major disservice. If you tell them that luatering and off the grain fermentation and distillation is the best way to do corn based mashes, then you are either intentionally giving them the wrong info, so that you can sell them your equipment, or you are ignorant of the correct process and need to do further research.
You are welcome. The import info listed is a matter of public record.
Here is a very good manway for a still pot https://www.glaciertanks.com/pressure-manways-mw-rnd-g18-4-ss304.html Note all of the clamping points. This is what we use and I have never had one leak. Here is a really cheap Chinese manway https://www.glaciertanks.com/non-pressure-manholes-mh-g10-non-press.html This is one of the worst manways that you can use for a still pot. They almost always leak. Note the lack of clamping points. Also this is really light weight. Please note the manways listed on the import records below. All of the listed shippers are in mainland China.
Explosion proof requirements
Southernhighlander replied to rtshfd's topic in Safetybiodzlden I don't think that any inspectors are going to have a problem with the brass valves. We have stills in over 200 distilleries with the brass valves and no inspectors have mentioned any problem with them.. Email me privately email@example.com and I will get you a price for the stainless ones. They can be a lot more expensive than the brass ones. There is another way. You can run tubes into the bottom of a column of water. Every 27.7" of water column gives you one psi. If you run into a 56" column of water you will have a pressure relief device that is actuated when the internal pressure of the still reaches 2 psi. The diameter of the water column does not matter so you could use a 2" diameter piece of pipe that is 83" tall and that will give you a relief device that operates at 3 psi. If you need help calculate the diameter of the tubes needed to feed the water column pipe, just let me know the diameter and height of your continuous column and the amount of vapor going in and the amount of condensate that you will be producing per hr, and I can give you the size of the tubes that you need, if you decide to go that direction.

Durable-Goods Orders Fell by 1.3% in October
WASHINGTON -- Orders for durable goods fell for the second straight month in October, prompted by plummeting demand for electronic equipment.
The data surprised analysts, who had expected an increase of 0.5%. The main factor behind the decline was a 15.3% drop in orders for electronic and electrical equipment, a volatile category that includes semiconductors and circuit boards. The statistics represented the sector's largest drop...

Iowa City Ranks No. 10 For Best Places to Live.
Livability.com, 2015
Workplace (R)evolution will be featured as one of eight tracks offered at the Iowa Ideas September conference, September 20-22, with the theme "Building the Business Case for Purpose." The schedule will offer panel perspectives alongside high-impact speakers, including featured keynote and author Dr. Bob Wright of The Wright Foundation. Dr. Bob Wright is a highly successful entrepreneur, university co-founder and professor, world-class executive coach, and dynamic corporate consultant.
Tickets for Iowa Ideas 2017 are now on sale. Select 1-day Thursday for Workplace (R)evolution 2017 or both days to experience the full Iowa Ideas conference
Why Workplace (R)evolution?
The competition to retain exceptional employees is fierce. No longer just about the paycheck, individuals have the freedom to choose where and for how long they will apply their strengths and skills.
These workers have options and they want answers:
— Will this company make me comfortable and confident?
— Can I grow in this environment?
— Will I be challenged without running the risk of being overwhelmed?
At the local level, Iowa's Creative Corridor has a limited amount of qualified talent to meet employer demands. Workplace culture has been identified as a key piece of long-term retention success.
Meanwhile, as opportunities for young professionals are advancing at a rapid rate, the majority of respondents do not have a formal succession plan for their emerging leaders. The 2017 Workplace (R)evolution Steering Committee is committed to connect employers with resources that will advance the build of ideal workplace cultures-from recruitment to retirement.
Attend Workplace (R)evolution and be ready to discuss:
— The relevancy of having professional purpose.
— The realities of our changing demographics. Who is currently in the workplace, who will be joining us and what value do they place on purpose?
— How can a company prioritize purpose in their strategic plan?
— Best practices of companies that lead with culture and purpose. What they've learned and how to eliminate filling seats with the "good enough."
The luncheon will be held Thursday, June 29th from 12-1pm at Legacy Manufacturing (6509 Partners Avenue, Marion, IA). Registration is required. Cost is $10 and includes a boxed lunch. Registration is open at www.medcoiowa.org/about-medco/events/.

15 Knit Sweaters to Cozy Up In
My pre-requisite for a boyfriend? I have to be allowed to steal your sweater. Or all of them. I can't get enough of warm and cozy oversized sweaters this season. Wrapping up in a knit is so comforting, like a bowl of chicken noodle soup in clothing form!
While I do love a BF's sweater, sometimes they can seriously lack in the cuteness department. Which is why I thought it was necessary that we round up a few knit options that combine warmth and style!
1. NastyGal Block On Knit (C$57.56)
2. Top Shop Knitted Mirror Bunny Jumper (UK$46.00)
3. H&M Jumper (C$34.95)
4. SheInside Black Lapel Long Sleeve Ouch Cardigan Sweater (US$38.08)
5. Forever 21 Open Southwestern Cardigan (US$27.80)
1. Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Braided Arm Sweater (US$69.00)
2. French Connection Ashley Knits Slit Jumper (C$79.99, on sale)
3. Old Navy Honeycomb-Knit Crew Sweaters (C$29.94)
4. Club Monaco Avery Cashmere Sweater (C$129.00, on sale)
5. J Crew Collection Cashmere Colorblock Sweater (US$258.00)
1. Urban Outfitters Staring at Stars Textured Oversized Dolman Sweater (US$69.00)
2. Romwe Houndstooth Yellow Jumper (US$79.99)
3. Asos Boyfriend Cardigan With Stitch Detail (C$67.28)
4. Anthropologie Rose Snapshot Top (US$88.00)

These are all so pretty <3 I want them all!
NastyGal Block On Knit (C$57.56) is my fave!
I`d wear the Nasty Gal, H&M;, Sheinside, french Connection, Old Navy and Urban Outfitters sweaters.
I really like the shlenside black lapel sweater, looks cozy, cute, and different!
I really wish that I could wear sweaters. I find the majority of them itch and irritate my skin, and I can't take the risk of buying something that I'm unable to wear.. Bummer. Because the Urban Outfitters braided arm sweater is absolutely amazing! That is a style that I would absolutely love to wear around.
I like the NastyGal Block On Knit, the H&M;Jumper, the Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Braided Arm Sweater. Although it wouldn't keep your arms very warm in the weather we're having now I still love it. I also like the Urban Outfitters Staring at Stars Textured Oversized Dolman Sweater.

Trinity Sunday, May 22, 2016
Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Although the word "trinity" does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity can never be completely understood or rationalized, but it is clearly taught in Scripture. Understanding of all scriptural doctrine is by faith which comes through the work of the Holy Spirit; therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred.
On Trinity Sunday, the Christian Church ponders with joy and thanksgiving what the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have done to accomplish the salvation of sinful humanity. It is brought to remembrance how Christians should respond to the love God has shown us, praising Him and giving Him glory. We remember the Father as our Creator, the Son as our Savior and the Holy Spirit as our Comforter. Scriptural readings for the Trinity Sunday ceremony may include Psalm 8, beginning and ending with, "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth." Second Corinthians 13:11-13 appeals to believers to aim for perfection and live in peace, ending with the prayer that the grace of Christ Jesus, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all, including again the commission Jesus left for believers in Matthew 28:16-20.
Today, Trinity Sunday is to explain, to the best of man's ability, the clues written in Scripture to guide us to a fuller understanding of our triune God. The Father is God from the beginning (John 1:1); Jesus revealed Himself as equal to the Father in John 10:30, "I and the Father are one." Together, they sent the Holy Spirit (John 14:26). "For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one" (1 John 5:7-11).

Corpus Christie Sunday
Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ
Sunday, May 29, 2016
The full name of this feast is Corpus et Sanguis Christi or The Body and Blood of Christ. "The feast of the Blessed Sacrament was established in 1246 by Bishop Robert de Thorte of Liege at the suggestion of St. Juliana of Mont Carvillon. [It was] extended to the universal Church by Pope Urban in 1264. The Divine Office composed by St. Thomas Aquinas and customary procession was approved by Popes Martin V and Eugene IV. Celebrated in June, the first Sunday after the feast of the Trinity."
(Modern Catholic Dictionary, by John A. Hardon, S.J.)
St. Juliana, a Belgian nun in Retinne, lived at the time of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Louis. She received this inspiration from Our Lord for the following reasons: 1) that the Catholic doctrine receive aid from the institution of this festival at a time when the faith of the world was growing cold and heresies were rife; 2) that the faithful who love and seek truth and piety may be enabled to draw from this source of life new strength and vigor to walk continually in the way of virtue; 3) that irreverence and sacrilegious behavior towards the Divine Majesty in this adorable Sacrament may, by sincere and profound adoration, be extirpated and repaired; 4) to announce to the Christian world His will that the feast be observed.
(Full Brief of Pope Urban IV in The Blessed Eucharist, Fr. Michael Muller, C.S.S.R., 1867; republished by TAN Publishers, Rockford, IL 1994.)

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3 (KJV)
EDITOR'S NOTE: What does the compromised Laodicean church look like these days? It looks like this. Local pastors in North Carolina not only helped a mosque to take over a church building, but they also participated in the opening service in prayer to the moon god Allah. Do you think these pastors took a moment to tell their new Muslim neighbors that without becoming born again by faith in Jesus Christ alone they would burn for an eternity in a place called Hell? Nope. That would be hate speech.
"It's open faith; we're brothers," Ali Mohammad, an organizer of the mosque, tells North Carolina's News & Observer. The Muslims are stripping the church of its Christian roots, including removing any crosses and handing them over to pastors in the area.
When they opened on Saturday, Christian clergy, including Pastor Jim Melnyk of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, participated in the ceremony. Other pastors from Methodist and Baptist congregations were also present.
"I see it as an important statement of community, that we take each other's faiths seriously," Melnyk says. "I want to acknowledge how important it is to build bridges in the community when we're living in a time that is so anxiety ridden and there's so much mistrust going on in the world around us. It's important when we can find common ground and share our community."
But Melnyk's participation is not just a gesture of neighborly compassion.
"Christians, Jews and Muslims are all people of the book, and we all claim what the Hebrew Scriptures call the Abrahamic faith," Melnyk tells WND. "We call it the Old Testament, and Muslims also claim the Bible."
"Obviously I'm a Christian, and I would not live comfortably within the full teachings of Islam, but I can recognize where we share teachings, and recognize the call to treat one another mercifully, and as the one God treats us mercifully, and that translates equally into Christianity as well as it does Islam," Melnyk says. source
