About Eva Lovia
Eva Lovia is the first 2015 Digital Playground Star Winner, she's almost too hot to be believed. At 5'3" she's an exotic mix of Japanese and Spanish has an amazing all-natural body, perky natural tits, long slender legs, and a fantastic ass so you won't be able to believe your eyes!
Eva Lovia is a naughty girl, who is as freaky off set as she is in the movies. She's a medium height brunette with natural boobs and a splendid ass and perfect skin. The thing that made her so popular, besides the way she works her ass, is the fact that she's biracial. You have here an example of half Latina half Japanese freckled hottie.
Eva Lovia began her ascendance in the adult movies industry a couple of years ago and in the beginning she only did lesbian scenes. As she stated, she is more comfortable being with a girl in front of the camera and she wanted to show us that it's possible to make a living while doing exclusively girl/girl movies. However, after two years of eating and fingering pussy in front of the camera, Eva decided to treat her fans with some boy/girl movies, and the first of its kind is the Reality King's production in which she stared along with Mick Blue. Reality Kings also has the first porn movie she ever did, and as that wasn't enough, that movie is also Eva's first time she's been with a girl.

Amanita Mushrooms
AKA: Amanita muscaria (bolond gomba, fly agaric, Gluckspilz, ha ma chun, mukhomor, Narrenschwamm, tu ying hsin), Amanita pantherina (panther mushroom).
The amanita family of mushrooms can range from those that are harmless (and actually quite delicious) to those that are deadly poisonous; the above are the only two that are psychoactive. The name "fly agaric" is derived from the fact that flies will drop into a helpless stupor after sucking on its juices. It is also noteworthy that the mushroom is believed to have contributed to the frenzied behavior of the Norse Vikings known as Beserkers. The degree of psychoactivity is related to its color — yellow is the weakest, red is the strongest, and orange is in between — on where and when it is grown, and on what trees it grows near. It can be dried and smoked; eaten fresh, cooked, or dried; or it can be brewed in a tea. In reindeer-hunting communities in Siberia, only the shamans were allowed to eat the fly agaric mushrooms, but others found they could participate in the experience by drinking the shaman's urine; supposedly, the unpleasant side effects of nausea and vomiting were lessened in this manner. This is because the kidneys detoxify muscarine, a toxin found in the mushroom, but allow muscimole, the hallucinogen, to pass into the urine largely intact (reindeer, who aggressively seek out this mushroom, will likewise consume the fly agaric-filled waste, and travelers are advised not to urinate in their presence out of fear for the person's safety). Urine can be recycled four or five times in this manner.
In Japan, there is mention in ancient literature of the maitake, or "dancing mushroom," which caused those who ate it to laugh and dance giddily; it has been identified as either Paneolus papilionaceus or Pholiota spectabilis, though the former is also known as waraitake, or the "laughing mushroom," and was once used as a cheap high in the U.S. and allegedly by witches in Portugal. Another "dancing mushroom" is Gymnopilus (Pholiota) spectabilis.
Effects: A pleasant, dreamy intoxication — accompanied by vivid hallucinations and giddiness — that lasts four to eight hours. The main psychoactive ingredients include muscazon, ibotenic acid, muscimole, and bufotenine.
It may work synergistically with the juice of the bog bilberry (Vacinium uliginosum).
Precautions: There are often unpleasant physical symptoms. An overdose can produce twitching, trembling, minor convulsions, numbness of the limbs, delirium, paranoia, aggression, nausea, vomiting and even death. Amanita pantherina has been known to make people sick for up to twelve hours, though these side effects usually start and end quickly. Other varieties of amanita (Amanita phalloides, Amanita verna) and other similar-looking mushrooms can be lethal when ingested, so extreme care must be taken when picking them in the wild.
Any mushroom should probably be sauteed before eating because in its raw state, it may contain methylhydazines, compounds similar to rocket propellants (which are, of course, carcinogenic and potentially deadly). Mushrooms may also accumulate such toxins as arsenic and cesium, though not in dangerous levels; cooking will not remove or deactivate them.
The use of atropine by some medical professionals to treat the negative effects is counterproductive; it intensifies, rather than nullifies, them. Mushrooms should not be combined with alcohol, either.
Dosage: One medium-sized mushroom is taken initally, to determine tolerance, with 1 to 3 mushrooms per dose thereafter. They are thoroughly dried first, and under no circumstances are more than 3 mushrooms taken at any one time.

frightening shootout in Othello Drive on Tuesday night, which left two men hospitalised with gun shot injuries, has been confirmed as a gang-related dispute.
Counties Manukau Police say officers were alerted by nearby residents to a shooting at properties near the Dawson Rd intersection of the Otara street at 8pm.
Police say an unconfirmed number of persons arrived in vehicles and approached people at an Othello Dr house.
The two warring groups exchanged a number of firearm shots, where two men, one from each of the opposing gangs, sustained the gunshot injuries.
Yesterday, as both males were charged with offences and under police guard at Middlemore Hospital, where an armed officer patrolled on Tuesday night, properties numbered 11, 9 and 7 in Othello Dr were cordoned off, the immediate focus of investigators.
"It's evident it is gang related," said Superintendent Steve Shortland yesterday, the Counties Manukau District Commander.
However, while officer in charge of the Othello Dr case, detective inspector John Tims, says the targeted house was known to be a drug tinnie house with gang connections, police will not at this time publicly name the warring groups.
"Until we have reviewed all the evidence, we don't want to prematurely name the rival parties," says Mr Tims.
"What has happened is not a random incident targeting innocent members of the public.
"Forensically there a number of items to work through. We have recovered two firearms, one of which was discarded from a fleeing vehicle. In addition to the two vehicles, we are undertaking a forensic examination of the Othello Dr residence."
Police say both fighting groups departed the residence before officers arrived on Tuesday night.
The injured men were dropped off at Middlemore Hospital from their respective associates vehicles, while being tracked by the police Eagle helicopter.
One male sustained a head wound. Yesterday evening, he was in a serious but stable condition. The other man has leg wounds and his condition is said to be fair.
Mr Tims says the hospitalised males are charged with being unlawfully in possession of a firearm. He says both are aged in their late 20s.
Police say they're also heartened by the Otara and Manukau community spirit displayed since the incident.
"Our cordons kept a number of people from their homes for a few hours on what was a very warm night [Tuesday]," says Mr Tims.
"Residents were willing to assist and remained positive to each other and police. There was a strong sense of community."
Yesterday saw the first deployment of the Counties Manukau Mobile Police Station, at Othello Dr. It's staffed by a senior sergeant and 10 officers.
It'll assist the investigating team with enquiries, but police are also encouraging the public to visit the new station. It's designed to readily deploy to hot spots.

Well, it was really a bunch of things. My husband is awesome and never makes me feel heavy at all. He is normal weight. On the trip I felt handicapped. I wasn't worried about the plane because we had 3 seats together, but even with that it was obvious I was taking up more than my fair share of space. When we rented a car, I was
that I would fit behind the wheel. When we had dinner I was
that we needed a table. Hearing my husband say "Party of 3 - table please" was hard. Even at a table my chair was out too far and people behind me sometimes didn't have enough room. I was
about the stairs at the subway. I was
about the turnstiles. I was
about fitting in the seats at the game. I was
about the double decker bus (fitting and getting to the top). On the bus I realized that I hung over the seat...nobody else did. At the Statue Of Liberty I didn't want to climb the monument base (stairs). I am so sick and tired of being
. I have a great life but everything is being hindered a little bit because of my weight. Turns out it was fine, I fit everywhere and was able to do everything. But I can't help but wonder what more we would have done / tried if I was of normal weight.
And the sweating...my goodness...the sweating. It wasn't hot when we were there...70's...80's. I bought a roll of paper towels and every day would fold up 4 in my purse and take them with me. By the end of the day they would all be soaked. I don't armpit sweat, I face and head sweat. The constantly wiping of my face.
Then there are the pictures. Normally I am the photographer and so I am not in lots of pictures. I don't mind having my picture taken at all, it just works out that way. This trip Steve was the photographer and I was in a lot of shots. When I saw the pictures all I could think was "no way!". I guess I am not in touch with reality.
I weigh 342 lbs. I have over 200 lbs to lose. That is absolutely ridiculous. I am not just obese I am super morbidly obese. "I haven't always been heavy" is what I say and then I pull out a picture from 20 years ago. I have been heavy for 20 years and over 300 for 10.
So that's what happened.
Yesterday went well except I got into the big cheez-it's...they are now in the garbage. Today I have been very good about entering it in fitday. I will do this!!

Lower New River & Gravity Ziplines Package
Run a classic river and fly off a mountain doing two of our most exciting adventure activities.
The Lower New River Gorge whitewater rafting trip is the class-IV classic that virtually built the entire West Virginia rafting industry. This drop-pool river section has eight miles of big waves and steep ledges punctuated by placid pools in which to catch your breath. The half-day version of that is what we call the Rapid Run; think of it as an express version without lunch on the river (though this package does automatically include lunch back at the resort). Choose lunch at either Chetty's Pub or Buffler's Pizzeria.
And of course, the perfect way to dry off is with blazing, blazing fast speed, which is what Gravity Ziplines is all about. Six zips ranging in length from 400' to the 3100' Adrena-Line, with heights up to 200' off the ground and speeds that routinely reach well into the 60s (miles per hour) will keep your pulse pumping all day long.
This package includes:
- 1/2-Day Lower New River Rapid Run
- Gravity Ziplines
- Lunch
- (Optional) Buffet breakfast and prix fixe dinner
Do you need lodging, too? Give us a call and one of our adventure specialists will help you get it worked out.

text: Hello We brought home some year old chickens yesterday and one is not wanting to walk. We sorta rescued them (which I'm guessing was a bad idea) they were in very cramped pens. What can I do for her? I am thinking I may even have to syringe some water in her mouth because it doesn't look like she got up to drink overnight. Also the other birds haven't found the food yet it doesn't appear. How do I make them find it? Sorry birds we've had in the past have never had problems.

Senior: The staff is great and incredibly helpful. I have yet to have a bad experience with a professor there. They're always friendly, and more than willing to help students with plenty of one-on-one time. The student body is also great with plenty of different clubs and activities, as well as good accommodations to help students succeed. It's a small campus, but it's great!

College Junior: Classes are a big part of what makes Bethel great. We have so many professors that stay late and come in early, outside of their office hours time, to help even just one student who may be struggling in their class. Bethel's small class sizes make individualized attention a priority, and that for me has been such a big factor in my success in college. Bethel also offers a wide variety of majors and classes. And if your major isn't offered, then you can work with an advisor to create an individualized major!

Sophomore: What I definitely love the most about Wichita State are the students. Everyone is connected to a very large friend group - from the people in their classes, to former or current roommates to friends of friends - and I love that! I'm a really extraverted person, so being able to make lots of connections and build relationships is something I find a lot of enjoyment in. However, I will say one of WSU's greatest downfalls is the use of Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA) to teach an entire class. I know they'll have to one day teach a class, but a lot of the GTAs seem a little unprepared for it. Also, off the GTAs I have, some of them have even taught lecture for twenty minutes and let students go. Professors can take up the full hour with one lecture, so GTAs should be held to the same standard. In all honesty, this is just a small problem I have with WSU so far, so I hope it will change as I go forward in my degree program!

Hi Folks,
I thought today I would make something for myself as I make cards and gifts for others and never for myself.
So my task was to cover my notebook that I have recently started for all my cards, layouts, designs, challenges and gifts. I started this book because I have lots of paper with information on and decided it would be easier to have all this in one place.
I have used 4 Sugar Nellie Images of Gorjuss Girls Set 2 as I really love these so much and it is easy to turn these into Gothic especially as one is already a goth girl. Anyone who really knows me would say I am a goth, not to look at these days but when I was much younger you could tell by the black clothes and punkish hair styles but working in an office for over 20 years caused the change to sensible I suppose but I still love my horror films. Enough though I am a goth I still love all sorts of music from punk to rock, heavy, pop, classical, folk, country and even opera. I am very lucky to have found a guy with similar tastes, soo similar at times its scary. In fact our home is based on a black and white theme with my other favourite colours, lilac and purple, yes I know I was born in the flower power years but am not a flower power person unless its outside as I am a very keen gardener and that includes bunches of flowers, I would rather have a plant to go outside like a rose bush.
So that explains my reason for such a deliberate taste in decoration, I have used Guardian Angel, Little Goth Girl, Flower Girl, Untamed, all fairly obvious why I chose them. I have then put them on lilac and purple card stock, then onto white card stock and also have used my cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots for more of an effect and added a strip with words on the same colour scheme and glued this onto the front sheet of my book. To decorate I have added a black ribbon with white polka dots, coloured all images in with Whispers Strokes Pens keeping to the black and purple colours. I have to complete the look added lilac/purple silk flowers with black brads and added clear gem stones to dresses and corners of card and so completes my project.
I hope that you like this and maybe might give you some inspiration to try this type of project. Until the next blog, do take care and happy crafting, lol

I can say that my recent shortage of American hops in the freezer is coinciding with an emerging boredom in the IPA as a style. Not that I don't enjoy them, but I'm ready to get a bit more experimental. I am happy though: I never thought I'd run through those hops so quickly.

With the Pining for Pliny (P4P) I brewed months ago, I siphoned off 2L (1 per yeast) into new "fermenters" and inoculated with wild yeast (Brettanomyces). This produced about 5 bottles (2.5 each). The results were interesting. First, the flavor variation among bottles -- even within-batch -- was high. Interestingly, the half of P4P that under-attenuated in the primary ended up tasting much wilder -- presumably because it had more remaining fermentables for the yeast -- although the bitterness was too high. But the other P4P half received a touch of lemon that was quite nice. Both ended up pretty dry. The amazing thing was how much the wild yeast transformed the flavor in a relatively small time. The wild beers were almost completely unrecognizable from their source.

This inspired me to continue with wild fermentation.

I brewed a Westmalle/Westvleteren clone (the beers share the same yeast). The base beer is a Belgian tripel. This time, I have siphoned off half of the whole batch for a Brettanomyces second fermentation, which will make for a wild blonde. The other half has received some special ingredients which I hope will add some of the unique flavors of Westvleteren.

Interestingly, I took a long whiff of the dregs of the yeast starter I made from Bretts. Amazingly, this one tasted very much like a lambic. This got me thinking that I could try a beer that is 100% Brett fermented. For various reasons, full Brett fermentations are discouraged, one reason being that the yeast work better under reduced PH environments typically caused by a primary fermentation from brewer's yeast. But, the smell was too compelling.

So, tonight I made a very small (.75 liter) -- though smaller than planned -- batch to be used as 100% Brett. It will probably end up like a Flanders Brown or Oude Bruin. I'm calling it "Lil' Orvie". Because, as a bad scientist, I can't resist confounding variables, I used only wild hops that we picked from a nearby abbey. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll wake to a pellicle.

On my first batch I siphoned off 2L for re-yeasting using a highly experimental yeast. The yeast has converted the IPA to lemons, and it's delicious.

Opened Citroen today, after a week in the bottle.

Tastes only slightly green. Carbonation is great (I carb'd even more this time), but head dies quickly. Yeast did not want to settle out after an evening in the fridge.

Flavor is surprisingly similar to P4P despite being a different hop.

I split the wort into 2 fermenters and inoculated one with an American Ale and the other with a Duvel yeast. I lost track of which was which (dumbass). Weirdly, one of the batches took a complete nose dive. Fermenter activity was seemingly strong for both, as measured by bubbling in the airlock. The "normal" one turned out fine. The "bad" one had weird qualities. It was nearly flat even after 3 weeks in the bottle. It tasted watery and overly bitter. The former 2 lead me to suspect a problem with the yeast. Not enough? Weirdly, the beer transformed into a ruby red color. I even tried on homebrewtalk which is usually an oracle for this shit. They had no clue. WTF did I do?

I am noticing my tastes change in time. I am definitely less of a hophead than I used to be. The DIPAs just don't do it for me like they used to (Pliny the Elder remains the eternal exception). My interest in Belgian beers, particularly lambics, has renewed my appreciation for dryness and fostered an appreciation for acidity. The new P4P I brewed seems to have gained ground in the latter respect. Does this mean it's the Duvel yeast at work, or my own perceptions kicking in?

Appearance is bright hazy golden. Half inch of head in the mid of the Duvel glass, not a lot of retention.

Very tropical aromas with pineapple dominant.

Taste is dry, acidic, and slightly bitter. Perhaps only slightly on the thin side but not surprising given the relatively low gravity.

This one is a knockout!

Stuff is taking way too long and driving me crazy. Boil time seemed forever. I bailed on cooling and pitched at around 100F, hoping the cellar would further cool the wort. I think this was a bad idea but it was after midnight and my "helper" was retiring for the evening.

Brewed yesterday: a simple variant on Pining for Pliny. This was of course not without challenges.

First, I forgot to order DME from the brewstore, and the yeasts I purchased were both propagators -- meaning not enough cells for a real batch. I tried making an all grain starter but it was impossible: the cooler could not keep such a small volume of water warm. In the end I decided on an approach that turned out even better. I decided to brew a normal sized batch (~3G) and split into two fermenters and pitch the different yeasts on each one. This has the advantage of keeping the volume to a reasonable amount for the yeast w/o starter, plus I get to learn the differences between the yeasts!

Second, no barley mill. Rolling pins do not provide a consistent crush and are labor intensive. I used a coffee grinder and achieved reasonable though not ideal results.

I learned about my setup today. My kettle and stove will take over an hour to bring 3.5G of wort to a boil. That kind of sucks but now I can plan.
Karlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111421983497894284.post-57511037157066989102010-02-07T10:35:00.000-08:002010-02-07T11:41:15.636-08:00Comin' back at ya!This blog is not dead ... it was merely going through a prolonged conditioning phase. I've had a few things happening over the last several months: graduating, starting a new job, and moving to Belgium. Of these, only the last may have a nontrivial influence on my brewing. Case in point, my next project:

I've got a few ideas bouncing around. We have both technical and recipe matters at hand. Regarding the former: as I have moved temporarily (2 years) to Belgium, I'm trying to maintain my brewing without necessarily spending a lot on equipment, as equipment is generally impractical to move to the US. I'm trying to use my experience with brewing to identify areas where corners can be cut.

First of all, wort chilling seems to be a stinker within the cost/benefit curve. On homebrewtalk.com, there has been an emergence of activity and interest on the subject of "no chill" brewing, where hot wort is not artificially cooled. The fears of DMS seem to be insignificant on a homebrewer's scale. Basically if you can keep the vessel that contains the wort sanitized enough for an evening with cooling wort, you're fine.

I thought about buying a cheap food-grade container for fermenting, but I'm now leaning toward a Better Bottle, which is more expensive, but available in Europe and will suffice for both fermenting and bottling.

Next, we're drinking some Hopus beers which have the benefits of a swivel top and cheap price at the local "wal mart". Hopefully will accumulate 3 gallons worth in the next 2 months or so, though it may require a party.

Recipe-wise, I must admit a deep affinity for Duvel, a truly sublime beer. Among its beauties include the dryness, light body/color, alcoholic sweetness, subtle hop flavor, and clarity. I'd like to merge this with the "Sonoma IPA", a yet-unofficial style, describing Pliny the Elder (PtE) by Russian River. PtE is actually unlike a lot of IPAs in its light body, color, and dryness, all of which accentuate the hop aroma and flavor. Interestingly, Duvel is so unique that Michael Jackson invented a style to describe it. Now, all "golden strong ales" are compared against Duvel.

Duvel, to me, creates its effect through unconventional means. It seems bitter, but not from the hops, as traditional beers would, but from a combination of the heavy carbonation, dry finish, and perhaps effects from the Scotch Ale yeast (Wyeast 1388). It seems sweet, but isn't (i.e., it's dry), due to the well-masked alcohol. It is truly a beer about recreating expectations from roundabout means.

So, how to get the dryness of Duvel? Dryness is a consequence of lots of the fermentables from the wort getting fermented. Hence, you should lean away from non-fermentable sugars such as maltose. Two ways to achieve this: low malt-temperatures, and a lot of raw sugar in the overall grain bill.

I'm taking this approach with Belgian Pale Ale malt, a lot of sugar, and the Duvel yeast. I'm going to throw an American spin with some Pliny-friendly hops.

Boiled about an ounce of oak cubes (French Oak, house toast) in water for 10 minutes, put them in. Cut open a vanilla bean, scraped the contents into a shot of Caribbean rum, then diced the rind and put that in the rum too. Let it soak for 10 minutes or so to sanitize, then put that in the secondary.

To the half remaining in primary, I added dry hops. I'll leave them in for 3-7 days then bottle that batch. The other will stay on the oak and vanilla for as long as it can.

Appearance: Pours a caramel red with nicer carbonation than last time. Still, a quickly dissipating head which is rescued by some nice lacing. The yeast have dropped, and there's a pleasant absence of chill haze.

Aroma: Nice, deep hop aroma with a lot of apple and a kiss of honey. Signs of prematurity. The aroma is not as pronounced as last time.

Taste: Pleasantly bitter with a lick of sweetness. Not quite a finish to match the aroma, but tasty nonetheless.

Mouth: More carbonated than last time. A lingering bitterness.

Drinkability: Love it. 5-6% can be sessioned. Too bad I ended up at 2G.

Yeast is still suspended, and it's flat. Trails of sugar are visible. Darker than expected, probably from the 40L caramel. I might switch to 10L or 20L next time.

Hop aroma is absolutely delicious. Flavor not as strong, but needs more conditioning and carbonation.

I am psyched about this one.

I hit the temps and volume perfectly. If you haven't brewed a stout before, do yourself a favor and try it: the smell of the wort is delicious.

Problems:

Second time using whirlfloc, which makes some crazy coagulation. Am I using too much for a 3G batch? Can't really split the tablet. The problem is that, to speed cooling, I whirlpooled the wort while chilling, which stirred up the trub a bit. The filter clogged nearly immediately every time I tried to siphon to primary. I have heard you should wait after cooling for 30 minutes or so for the trub to drop out, but a recent infestation of fruit flies had me worried to leave it. Not to mention, it was midnight and I was tired.

Usually I keep the primary cool by putting it in a cooler with water and ice packs. At the beginning, I use ice to get it extra cool. This time, I just used ice packs and it did not get cool enough (75 by morning). Will I get fusels and bananas? Probably. Oh well.

Little nervous that I used some stale StarSan, it was a bit cloudy which means it's either shot or very near it. Most of the stuff was pretty clean and I'm trying not to get too nervous about it. I'm beginning to think that contamination is more difficult than portrayed, although sanitation is easy and should be maintained regardless.

I had a taste and it was quite good. Different hops than P4P imparted a fruitier flavor. The added salts may have improved the hop character although there seemed to be a perceptible saltiness.

Tried a new trick to filter the wort to the bottling bucket. Kept a tea filter under the hose, and the hose low enough to be under the surface of liquid to minimize oxygen exposure. Seemed to trap a good bit of trub and the beers are clear enough.

Wednesday I'm doing Aspis Hoplon.

Appearance: Pours copper with slight reddish hue. Reasonably clear. A 1/2 inch head from a vigorous pour. Head quickly dissipates.

Aroma: Deep dark fruit on the nose: raisins, dates, fig. Some green sour apple. No apparent hops.

Flavor: thinner than the nose with a dry, phenolic (i.e., clove) finish

Mouth: nicely carbonated but could be improved

Drinkability: low alcohol level (5-6%) and modest flavor make drinking a couple pretty easy

I suspected the "secret" origin of the yeast to be Rochefort's own and a website did confirm as such. (This was facilitated by Nilam and my splitting of a Rochefort 10 on Friday night.) This is an excellent yeast and is really pulling the flavor weight. I'd like to give it more fermentables to work on.

I am enjoying this beer more and more now that it's conditioning into its peak. The apple hint suggests more conditioning time is needed. I hope the flavor improves but I don't expect a dramatic change. On a future iteration, I would like to bridge the gap between the excellent aroma and nice finish. This will probably require retooling the grain bill and raising fermentability.

I have been enjoying Bruxelles Sprout for the last 10 days. Some thoughts:

Significantly under-carbonated relative to previous brews. I'm looking at my notes and trying to identify the difference. I recall not using cane sugar but instead a more traditional, corn-based priming sugar, though recollection is fuzzy. Also, I did try to dial it down. Finally, where previous brews were bursting by 7 days, this one may well need the full 3 weeks of conditioning. However, carbonation is pretty important with taste so I think it's still a negative.

I'm digging the esters/phenols from the abbey yeast.

Overall the taste is a little thin. This was by scientific design: I want to learn Belgian yeast and therefore tried to isolate the variable as much as possible. I went for a simple malt profile, relatively low alcohol, and a light hoppiness, that, combined, would let the yeast profile shine. And wow, the yeast is really a beautiful thing. But, I am perhaps enjoying the beer pedagogically.

The chill haze is oppressive in this beer. Look at a warm bottle and it's clear as water. Put it in the fridge for half a day and it's fog. Mostly cosmetic and equipment-related but I'd like to fix it eventually.

The next Belgian will be mashed for heavy attenuation. I don't want residual sweetness and the more the yeast gobbles up, the more of those delicious byproducts it will leave in the beer. I may try for more hops next time. I love the Belgian tradition, but damn, it breaks my heart to make a batch on an ounce of low alpha hops.

In the primary: a new IPA with a similar grain bill to P4P and a new hop. Looking forward to it.

This recipe diverged from my previous all-grains as follows:

Not an IPA

Pilsner malt instead of two-row

A non-base malt used (Caravienne)

Homemade Belgian candi sugar

Belgian abbey yeast

I really did not hop this much at all, which pained me while it liberated me. In fact, I used a "Noble-esque" hop which has been "aged" in my fridge for several months. Not by design but could have been.

I had a ripping starter going which was timed perfectly for brew day. Siphoned some of it into a bottle for storage. BS was bubbling like a champ by morning.

Next up, a new IPA with some variations from PfP. Gonna use a new hop I'm curious about and maybe even the remnants of the Belgian candi sugar.

Finally, I've changed my mind and will not siphon a gallon of BS off to pitch with Roselaire and turn into a Flander's Red. I'm still intrigued by the sour flavors but want something a little faster (a Flander's Red requires 12-18 months to reach peak flavor). Instead, I'm going to try a Berliner Weisse or a Gose, two ancient and rare German ale's which feature very sour character on account of early lactobactillus inoculations.

Bright orange, nearly clear (I think some more time in the fridge will clarify it more), thick, frothy head, absolutely delicious hop aroma and flavor. I really think it is a huge step forward and not too far from Pliny (of course it is not Pliny but Pliny seems not so distant anymore). There is a slight resiny hop flavor that I hope gets conditioned out in the next few weeks (it is still a bit early in the conditioning phase) but overall I'm very impressed and for once proud of one of my brewing creations.Karlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111421983497894284.post-7436287516356123002009-06-12T08:09:00.001-07:002009-06-12T08:20:10.810-07:00UpdateLot's of stuff since the last post.

First, the two extract brews ended up aging nicely and are now quite drinkable. Argentina, in fact, was tasty, and hopefully Hoppy Diwali will come into its own soon.

Though they were tastier, the hop flavor never arose. I narrowed the problems to:

1) Too much time with the dry hops

2) Poor filtering at bottling time, leaving hop sediment to bitter the beer more

3) Too many IBUs (most likely), causing a harsh bitterness which obscured the hop flavors

4) Water profile

I dialed down the hops big time for a new brew called "Pining for Pliny". This is an all-Simcoe IPA with an IBU count of ~70, which was a substantial rollback. I made the recipe as light on grains as possible to showcase the Simcoe. (Wow, do yourself a favor and smell a bag of Simcoe some time. It's known for a piney/citrus flavor; hence the naming "Pining for Pliny".). Regarding the process: I paid special attention to water levels and managed to perfectly hit my water amount. I used BeerSmith to aid in the process and I don't think I'd brew again without it. Today I bottled it and wow, what a smell! The beer is clearer and much lighter than previous brews. Can't wait to try it.

I have been reading a lot about water profiles and it turns out that Orange County water does not cut it for highly hopped beers. The sulfates are way too low, and sulfates are critical to really pull the flavors out of hops. So, for the next brew I'm going to be adding gypsum salt to get it up to the right level (again, Beersmith will help me calculate this).

Next up: a break from the usual hop bombs. I'm going to try something summery; a light, Belgian ale, using Pilsner malts, Belgian yeast, a low ABV, and a low dose of Sterling hops. I'm calling it "Bruxelles Sprout" (were it a stout you know what I'd call it.) I have a crazy idea to siphon off a gallon of it into my little 1G carboy and add some wild yeast to give it a nice sourness.

Finally, I have decided that if "Pining for Pliny" comes out decent, I'm getting/building a keggerator. I hate bottling enough to abandon the hobby altogether.

I think the reduction from 2.5G ending volume to ~1.75 caused a concentration which does not favor flavor. I recalculated and got 11.1% ABV and 150+ IBUs. The sherry off-flavors are telltale of allowing the beer to get too hot, which I know was the case as the upstairs closet has reached 80+ temperatures in the last month. There is a nice toasty malt flavor with honey and some light spices. The bitterness is near astringent and not right. Also some husky, tannic tones. Good thing the batch size was small. I had really almost written this one off anyway.Karlhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111421983497894284.post-74885940720513169262009-04-27T15:38:00.000-07:002009-04-27T16:07:40.869-07:00First all grain batchI did my first all grain batch yesterday. Let me begin by saying that all grain is way easier than you can imagine. Its reputation for difficulty must be a hangover from days when you had to do all the calculations by hand. Nowadays, tools like hopville.com make it a snap.

I designed a recipe called Santa Ana Garden. There's a lemon tree in front of the Santa Ana house I stayed in and I made lemonade from it once. The citrusy hops I placed in this one (including Amarillo, which means "yellow" in Spanish) evoke that memory.

The grain bill is fashioned after McDole's Pliny the Elder clone.

Some notes on the recipe:

I put 1oz Cascade in the mash itself. There is growing popularity for this method as a way to infuse the beer with more flavor and aroma without adding bitterness. Though the science is not well understood by beer nerds, the idea is that the sub-boiling mash temperatures allow the hop flavors to be more fully extracted into the wort before boiling off, and they'll tend to keep throughout the full boil.

I used some yeast collected from Bell's bottles as described earlier in this blog

I'm using a method to keep the primary fermenter cool, since the apartment was in the mid 80s for most of the weekend. Warm temperatures for fermentation cause serious off flavors. I put it in a cooler in the closet and fill the cooler with water. I put ice packs in in the morning. I've measure the temperature at various times and the water temperature is about 67, which is ideal

And mistakes:

I forgot to put the sugar in. Cane sugar is a way to build the alcohol and body of the beer without adding flavor or color.

I did not calculate water loss in the grain bed correctly, and ended up with about 2 gallons of beer.

I forgot to put Irish Moss in, so did not benefit from its coagulative properties and hence threw away more trubbed-up beer

Given the mistakes, I ended up with a variant recipe which I describe here. The loss of water means a higher gravity. Not the worst thing in the world, I suppose.

I built a mash tun today. I originally decided to use the directions here. However, those directions are pretty hard to follow since they seem to be written for mechanically inclined people. It also requires non-standard washers which were not available in any hardware store in my area (the author says to just expand a smaller one, but I have yet to talk to someone who knows how to do that).

I instead used the directions here, which were both easier and required fewer parts. I have:

5 gallon round Rubbermaid cooler ($22)

1/2' of 1/2" copper tubing ($1)

a small rubber stopper ($1)

a stainless steel mesh taken from a supply line ($5)

a square head plug (Watts part A-737)

1/2" hose clamps

Most of this is straightforward. However, the supply line needs the ends to be sawed off. You then pull the hose from the center. I asked the guy at Fetch Lumber to help me saw off the ends of the supply line and he did with relative ease. I used needlenose pliers to pull the hose out and it took about 5 minutes.

Next, I would wash the mesh in some alcohol to get the oil off.

I unscrewed the plastic spigot from the cooler.

I jammed the stopper in from inside out. Make sure to go this direction so it can withstand the pressure. This took me 5 minutes of strenuous work. If it isn't hard to do, you may have a stopper which is too small, and will not get a good seal.

I pushed the copper through the hole in the stopper. This was by far the most difficult task and took me about 10 minutes of pushing. I was drenched in sweat by the end

I attached the head plug to the mesh using a hose clamp

I attached the mesh to the copper using a hose clamp.

I attached the vinyl tubing to the copper on the outside of the cooler

Here's a picture:

"Raspblurry Stout": A strong stout with chocolate and tart fruit flavors like raspberry and cherries. Creamy feel (from oats?). Think Framboise raspberry over a deep chocolate stout

"Pop-the-cap-puccino stout": espresso and milk stout, frothy head

"Currant Affair": Dark, thin stout or porter with a sour dryness. Think cabernet over a dry chocolate malt base

"Chocolate orange": Not really much of an orange taste but some aggressive, citrusy hops on a stout. No one does this. Would it work?

It seems the main problem (aside from contamination) is boil size. The typical kit is for 5 gallon batches but the process involves a 3 gallon boil since most homebrewers can't boil much more. There are two negative consequences:

The extracts are added to the boil portion and hence saturate it. The hops cannot be as effectively absorbed. This can be avoided, in part, by not adding half of the extracts until the end of the boil (long enough to sanitize)

Water needs to be added to the wort in the fermenter to bring it up to full size, rather than being incorporated in the whole boil. If you did this with a curry sauce, I doubt it would be as flavorful.

These contribute to the extract twang. This is where the smaller batches are advantageous: you can do the wort as a full boil.

For the first time, we're getting a look inside the gaming operation that was just busted in Lehigh Acres. Deputies raided Luxxor Gaming on Lee Boulevard Wednesday after a six-week investigation.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office confirms charges are expected in the closure. But at this point, it is not clear exactly who will be holding the smoking gun in the case.
Visitors to the Luxxor told us they walked out with some money, but the winnings were small.
"We win $20 - $25 just for entertainment," said Maj Buckley, a seasonal resident.
Maj Buckley and friend Alice go to the Luxxor every Thursday. But no one answered the Luxxor doorbell for today's visit for any of the customers trying to play the casino-style games.
The sheriff's office launched an investigation six weeks ago after receiving tips that there was illegal gambling at the location.
On Wednesday, investigators collected more than 50 gaming machines, $5,034 in U.S. currency and approximately $4,800 in ancillary equipment and furniture.
"There was one big truck, and there were cops in masks and some other cops without masks," said Sandro Rodriguez of Lehigh Acres. "It looked like they were taking everything away from the building."
Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill in 2013 that cracked down on gaming and adult arcades though many locations stayed open.
"You know there's a lot of crime happening here in Lehigh, and I'm fed up," Rodriguez said. "I've been here almost 29 years, and I'm tired of it so you know if that's a crime, take care of it."
While some visitors seemed happy the shop closed up; others just wanted their weekly entertainment back.
"We never ended up in trouble," said Buckley.
Visitors say the Luxxor has been around for about three years.
Before it, another casino-style gaming center was at the location. Residents say that center was raided at least once before it closed down.
We spoke with players who admitted they won cash, and wanted to know if those players could be in trouble? The short answer is yes. Based on Florida statute, gambling and winning cash could land you in legal trouble.
"It's a lot of stuff to identify what to do and not to do," Kevin Jursinski, an attorney in Fort Myers, said.
Jursinski said the current Florida gaming statute 546.10 says gift cards, cash and alcohol cannot be given away as prizes at gaming operations. It also forces operators to change games from games of chance to games of skill.
"I think there are a lot of game operators that are out there that are simply not operating in accordance with the law, not because they intentionally want to violate the law, but they just simply do not understand it," Jursinski said.
Jursinski said the operator can also be confusing to enforce.
"It's very hard on law enforcement to come in to a place and identify is this a game of chance or a video game that resembles a slot machine versus a game of skill."
He said the current statute is so restrictive it's difficult for operators to comply.
"The best way an operator can do this is to set up their games properly and have their prizes displayed and then demonstrate that to law enforcement," Jursinski said.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cried my eyes out when I read your comment. You spoke straight to my heart and I really needed that. I don't know why, but it has been such a blessing to have insight from you; knowing you have been through this and survived means the world.
Why, as women, do we feel like we have to do so much, or keep going, when our "cups are so full?" If you have figured that out, let me know.
Again, thank you! You don't know how much your words touched and encouraged me this day!
Good luck with that craft room:)

For years now, there has been virtual unanimity that a problem exists in S1 and S2. Have secondary schools been lax in tackling the problem? Herculean efforts have been made to ease the transition from P7 to S1. It is now common for secondary staff to pay regular visits to associated primary schools, both to meet pupils and to facilitate forward planning with their primary colleagues. And it is also not uncommon for secondary-based subject specialists to spend time in primaries supporting the primary curriculum.
In S1 and S2, secondary schools have responded by introducing rotations in some groups of subjects and setting by ability in others. IQ testing has made something of a comeback in the form of NFER Nelson or similar assessments in P7 and S1. Maths and English specialists add to this by administering national tests and using the results for pupil target-setting and profiling.
It would appear that all this is not enough. Now that the age and stage regulations have been consigned to the dustbin of history, the charge to introduce national courses in S2 is on, with Keith Grammar leading the way.
Many are following in its wake. Significant numbers of P7 pupils entering secondary school this August will begin Standard grade or Higher Still courses next May.
In a tactic reminiscent of Stalin and the kulaks, the problem of S1 and S2 will be solved at a stroke by liquidating S1-S2 as a secondary school stage. S1 will be reduced to a two-term rump between formal admission in August and subject choice for S2 some time towards the end of term two.
Will it work? The most able cohorts may benefit from longer lead-in times into national courses, especially at Higher. This will not be without cost, however. If experience is any judge, pupils who have made their choices will then lose interest in any subject they do not intend to study in S2.
They will then begin their new subjects with a wave of enthusiasm which many will sustain. But, just as in the previous regime, many will lose this motivation by the end of S2. As in times past, the less able and less motivated pupil will be particularly prone to this disenchantment. Now they will be a year younger and a year less mature. Boys, less mature than their female peers, may fall by the wayside as they face and fail formal assessments designed for much older pupils. There is certain to be an increased demand for learning support services.
Core subjects may be able to meet the challenge by appropriate setting and judicious use of pupil support. Will non-core subjects enjoy the same flexibility? Again, past experience suggests they will not. Multi-level teaching will be the order of the day, with all its attendant difficulties.
A solution may present itself in the form of a curriculum based on stage rather than age, as older pupils are mixed with younger pupils of similar attainment. As a solution, it may even prove to be educationally beneficial. It will certainly be cheaper in terms of staffing. And easier. To paraphrase David Garrick: "Timetabling is easy.
Creativity is difficult."
And therein lies the problem. Secondary teachers have long recognised that S2 in particular is broke and needs to be fixed. Many solutions have been attempted, but the one which has not been attempted so far is the simplest of all. If pupils are demotivated in S2, it is because they are bored. They are bored of setting and bored of tests. They are bored of targets and bored with worksheets. They are bored of the three-part lesson which they encounter in every classroom.
The only time pupils get out to do anything different tends to be during end-of-term activity days or as part of positive behaviour reward schemes.
Either way, the message is reinforced that school is not to be associated in any way with the simple joy and infectious fun of young people being together.
The key is an effective curriculum, along with varied teaching and learning. Let's reintroduce outdoor education in all schools and get groups of kids out on the hills and on the seashore. Let's make sure that every pupil can access drama and media studies, both discretely and across the secondary curriculum. Let's abandon the curriculum altogether on a handful of days a year and experiment with one-off cross-curricular tasks which allow pupils to take part in active learning, rather than following the predictable landscape of the teacher-centred "single transferable lesson".
Some of these might be based on national targets such as promoting healthy schools or citizenship, rather than academic achievement. Surely any day is well spent which allows our young people to experience alternatives to the life-threatening lifestyles so many of them unthinkingly follow?
It's simple. The remedy to the S1-S2 problem is variety and creativity, and not more of the same. Let's put the fun back into learning.

EyeEm Is A Beautiful Photography App With Creative Competitions And Lucrative Prizes
"We thought a lot about the first impression," Markus Spiering, EyeEm's chief product officer and general manager who is also Flickr's former head of product, told Business Insider. "With a photograph app, it should focus on photography — big bold images. But it should also find the right balance between images and the conversations."
The new one-touch zoom feature seamlessly loads a full-resolution photo, and it means users won't have to compromise between the presentation and fidelity of their photos.
"You can really look at the small details that the photographer captured when he took that photo," said Matias Castello, EyeEm's head of mobile. "People like photos and commenting on them, but in this case we built this feature for people to engage with the photo itself."
But the heart of EyeEm is its 10-million strong community, and special competitions called "Missions" that keep users engaged and motivated with the opportunity to win prizes ranging from cash, a GoPro, an Xbox One, and lucrative publication opportunities.
The new update makes discovering new Missions easier with a tidy summary and some curated example photographs that frame the competition and get the creative juices flowing.
For example, a new Mission from The Huffington Post asks users to distill their definition of peace into a photograph for the chance to see their image credited in future articles. Another Mission from FourSquare called "Where do you Swarm?" asks you to capture your favorite hangout spot. The winner gets $300 and their photo hung on the wall of FourSquare's New York City office.
Previous Missions have resulted in over 10,000 submissions in only a couple of days, and it demonstrates EyeEm's understanding of how to keep users interested and hungry to prove their skills.
"What is most important to us when we create Missions is asking 'Does it fit the product and does it fit the community?'" said Spiering. "We work with our partners to figure out a creative challenge."
You can download the new version of EyeEm for iPhones and iPads here, or check out the Android version over at the Google Play store.
