I recently posited a question on Twitter to feel out the attitudes toward technology related to cloud bridges. As you might recall, IPSec VPN connectivity was cited by attendees (real people) as a major requirement for cloud bridges at Gartner DC. For some time now, SSL VPNs have been an effective alternative to IPSec VPN so I wondered why it was that IPSec remains the top choice.
Two answers (one from Steve Shah, the other from Hoff) in particular elicited an abstracted thought regarding standards in general.
As Hoff and Steve point out, there's value in standards, particularly with respect to interoperability and the ability to leverage existing skills and infrastructure.
Analysts and pundits agree we are moving toward hyper-hybrid cloud architectures. Federated cloud architectures. Architectures that comprise resources hosted in a variety of cloud environments. Managing such a diverse, distributed set of resources is challenging, particularly when no two cloud provider APIs are the same. Cloud Management Platforms (CMP) like OpenStack and CloudStack are just beginning to emerge as a unifying force, but they are nascent and still immature in terms of managing across the whole infrastructure stack let alone across provider boundaries.
Organizations desiring the ability to consistently manage cloud-based resources today have very few options.
Enter cloud bridges which offer, in part, the ability to extend the data center network (and thus ostensibly existing management systems) into cloud computing environments such as Amazon VPC. Using existing infrastructure and cloud bridging mechanisms, organizations can execute more control and governance over cloud-based resources without needing to invest in figure out how to integrate the provider's API into existing processes and systems.
Standardization, in effect, is a cornerstone of cloud interoperability and federation. To integration. To adoption.
While I agree with Hoff that IPSec offers a level of standardized interoperability not necessarily present in SSL alternatives, I think it's more the standardization that's important to cloud than it is the standard itself *. Organizations need more than just standardized connectivity to the cloud, and that's where Steve's insight comes into play - they need to be able to leverage existing skills and infrastructure as well, and that isn't always realized simply by employing IPSec over SSL.
While IPSec does provide consistency at the network level, it doesn't address the higher level issues of managing resources in a consistent way. Employing two different load balancing services, for example, is going to require an investment in managing two different services using two different (and disconnected) systems. Operations becomes fragmented because standardization is only present in the network - not the management that occurs over that network. While it is certainly the case that standards like IPSec make that standardization less painful and, as pointed out in the discussion by Jack Daniel, offers a more robust set of options, organizations need to look at the bigger picture of how (or if) a solution enables standardization up the stack.
Standardization matters when trying to architect a [hyper-hybrid | multi-cloud | federated ] model. Consistency in operations and policy is critical to the ability to successfully deploy applications without incurring the overhead of diverse management methods. Standardization - but not necessarily standards - are important to realizing that success.
* In case you were wondering, yes, F5 supports IPSec (in fact it achieved ICSA certification for IPSec earlier this year) as well as SSL for VPN connectivity.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Dividing pups
I have a Sans. 'black coral'--I think--and it has had pups. Now, the pups are growing w/in and inch of the parent plant and I'm concerned that they will not get enough light or growing room. How soon can I divide them from the parent? What is the best technique? All three pups are about 2 inches in height and two of the three babies have started opening up.
Most people like to see sans growing together in a big pot-bunched together very full. Or just as one single perfect speciman plant as an example of that variety. The rizome's size should be large to promote growth and flowering. Separating the new sprouts will reduce rizome size and slow progress of plant growth.
If you want to remove the sprout and start another pot, that would be fine. If you want to leave it alone, that would be fine too. Sans don't need much light. Black coral will be darker in less light, brighter green in bright light. That seems to be the rule for most sans with leaf blades shaped like black coral--except moonshine, which is the opposite.
Take a look at glasshouseworks.com and check out their wide variety of sans. Interesting.
Remove the offseets carefully, leave a 2" piece of rhizome. Peel off any bad leaves on the outside, then put into the pot, 6-8" round using fresh fast draining mix.
Tap the soil down by tapping hard on a cement step or potting bench. If they have roots you may water, if not wait until they do, which if its' hot may take only a few weeks, do not water until then, because they could rot. Put three offsets to a pot, they love to be crowded, and it will make a difference. Now they become young again, and may not flower for three years. You may want to finish off with a top gravel, to hold them and the soil in. If I left anything out will the rest of you please jump in. Remember they still need to be warm to do well, not below 55F some may be able to take lower temps, but I don't want to be responsible.

Sleek MakeUP Honour Blush
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
I wanted this blush more than the palette when I first saw the pictures for the new Sleek 2012 collection (limited edition). I managed to get the last one available and the cashier dropped it and it did crack at the side but its still fine.
Described as a Rose Bronzer when I first lay my eyes on it I expected it to look more like the colour in the press image but of course I should remember that online swatches / images are not always true to life.
This shade is a darker version of Sleek MakeUP Sunrise blush to me by comparison of my sleek blushers. It's a shimmer blush that I'd probably use just above my contour very lightly.
Here's a swatch taken by natural light :
In the swatch it's more to the rose gold its described as, highly pigmented I would suggest to use this lightly and build it up to the desired look.
This would be great blush for a bronzed look if only we had the Summer for it but when has that ever stopped us.

Pastor Parris Bailey, Victory Fellowship, Metairie Louisiana, speaks candidly about the struggle of ministry and the revival that brought her back to her first love.
A Greater Gift
My attendance at a writing critique group unexpectedly ended. I awoke the next morning, perplexed. I had attended the group for years and didn't want to leave, but I knew that it was time to move on. On the heels of leaving the group, a name kept coming to my attention: Linda Rodriguez.
Linda led a Christian writers group. We connected via Facebook. Her writing group had not been meeting, but she wanted to start again. She revived The Holy Scriptors long enough for me to meet her husband, Pastor David. Before the group disbanded again, I asked David if I could write his profile for NOLA's faith blog.
I tried to find a mutually agreeable date to meet with Linda and David without success. Linda is a gifted writer, so I asked her to write the article. She consented, and that was the last I heard from her until someone called my name as I walked out of a restaurant. I turned around to see Linda's smiling face. She had been busy and didn't think she would have time to write the article.
I asked Pastor David, seated beside her, if he still wanted an article written. He did. I made an appointment to meet at his church office. I didn't need directions to Christian Fellowship Church. I had attended the church on 5049 Ehret Road when I was a teenager, and it was called Marrero Assembly of God. Shortly before and during the two years I attended Marrero Assembly of God, I had spiritual experiences that are as vivid today as they were in 1973. The church holds a significant place in my heart.
David led me to a room he uses for counseling, and we sat at opposite ends of a long table. For the first time since I started writing about local Christians, I would record a story without coffee machines grinding, music blasting, and the neighboring table's conversation in the background. But a greater gift than that awaited. Before our conversation ended, David solved a thirty-eight-year-old mystery.
David encountered God in an old-fashioned tent revival, complete with sawdust on the ground. The evangelist brought his fiery message to a close and pleaded for willing hearts to come to the altar.
David looked at his friend seated next to him. "Do you want to go?"
"Do you?" his friend replied.
"I'll go if you go."
The boys slipped out of their seats and walked the sawdust trail to the altar. The next thing David remembered was lying flat on his back with a feeling of refreshing flowing over him and a foreign language coming from his mouth, which Pentecostals call "tongues."
"That experience marked my life," said David. "From that point on, I knew with certainty that I was God's child. Then I became a teenager, and the hormones from hell kicked in. When I was fourteen, I decided being a Christian was too hard. I knew I would die and go to hell if I turned away from God, but I figured I'd have a lot of fun before I got there."
Four years later, David's fun came to an abrupt end when he stole a car with a friend and found himself staring through the bars of a Georgia jail. The small cell aggravated his claustrophobia, magnifying his suffering. He paced the cell, longing to be free, and then he remembered the prayer of Cain and pleaded for mercy. "Lord, my punishment is greater than I can bear" (Genesis 4:13).
The next day, David called home and told his father what happened. His father replied with calm assurance, "David, the Lord spoke to me. You're coming home tomorrow."
"But Dad," David objected, "I'm five hundred miles from home, and I don't have money to hire an attorney." His father stood steadfast on God's promise. David hung up the phone and was escorted to his cell with little hope of being released. The next day, his friend's father posted bail for both of them, and the judge ordered them to return in August for sentencing.
David returned to New Orleans and met a girl who introduced him to marijuana. He was experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs when he stood before a Georgia judge for sentencing. David knew God had heard his prayer for mercy when the judge gave them probation instead of a jail sentence, but his gratitude for a lighter punishment was short lived.
The guilt of spurning God's mercy weighed heavily on David. When he partied with his friends, conviction gripped him. While his friends enjoyed the hallucinations, David often spoiled the party by announcing they were all going to hell and preaching to them. When his girlfriend became pregnant, he married her, but the marriage quickly fell apart. His wife left him and then learned she was pregnant with David's second son. David lay on his bed and cried out in despair, "God, why is this happening to me?"
He reached for the Bible lying beside him and flipped it open. Proverbs chapter 6 glared at him: "A scoundrel and villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart—he always stirs up dissension. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy" (Proverbs 6:12-15).
"I felt I was reading my life story and God was showing me why he was about to throw me into hell" said David. "I remember dropping on my knees, shaking with fear, and saying, 'God, I am sorry,' but I didn't ask God to forgive me. I chose hell when I was fourteen and thought it was too late. When I stood, I felt a hot pressure and heard a mocking echo in my mind: 'It's too late. It's too late.'"
That evening, David's father visited him. During the course of their conversation, his father said, "The devil will tell you that you are going crazy." When David heard those words, the oppression choking him with despair lifted.
David smiled. "It's easier to appreciate God's grace when you have tasted his justice. I tell people I got saved in 1970, but that's not entirely accurate. That afternoon, reading Proverbs, I knew I had crossed the line with God, but he spared me. Instead of giving me the hell I chose, he restored me."
David reconnected with Jeb, a high school friend who had also committed his life to Christ. On weekends, David and Jeb returned to their old haunt, a local Dairy Queen, and told anyone who would listen that they had found something better than drugs. Jeb's car was often packed to capacity with teenagers desiring to learn more about Jesus the following Sunday. When David wasn't sharing his faith in Christ, he worked as an assistant manager for Shakey's Pizza Parlor and fought for custody of his two children.
Several months after David's restoration, a woman approached him with a prophecy that she believed was for him. She had felt the unction to speak it during the church service, but being a new Christian, she was reluctant to prophesy publically. She told David, "Thus says the Lord, 'My son, when I set you free, you are free indeed. I have a work for you that you know nothing of.'"
Shortly after the prophecy, an opportunity for David to become general manager of a Shakey's Pizza Parlor arose, but David had a dilemma. To become general manager of his own store, he had to reveal that he had a felony conviction. The general manager knew David was on probation, but the owner of the Louisiana franchise did not. David told his probation officer about his predicament. His probation officer called the franchise owner to express the dramatic and positive changes he had seen in David since he was placed on probation.
"The next thing I know, I received a letter from the Atlanta judge complimenting me on how well I have handled myself since the conviction. He had terminated my probation and ordered that my judgment be set aside. My record was cleared, as though it never happened. Then my former wife, who was still on drugs, decided our boys would be better off with me and gave me custody. I rented an apartment in New Orleans East, picked up my sons on Valentine's Day 1971, and started my job as a general manager of my own store the next day. It was like the hand of God wiped everything clean. Then in the spring of 1972, Jeb told me he was starting a ministry called The House of Living Water, and he wanted me to run it."
At this point in David's story, I heard him talking, but I wasn't listening. My mind was flooded with memories. God had revealed himself to me at The House of Living Water in August 1973. I wondered if David was talking about the same place and struggled to concentrate as he continued his story.
"Jeb and another man planned to fix up a building in old Algiers. I would live at The House of Living Water and run the ministry while they went to Bible College. I was in walking distance from the Shakey's I managed in New Orleans East. Moving to the west bank meant a twenty-six-mile round trip, but I accepted the position and moved into the building with my sons."
"What year was this?" I asked.
"1972," he replied.
The year didn't fit my experience, but the location did. The place I had encountered the living God was on Opelousas Street in old Algiers. I remembered two things about the preacher whose message led me to accept Christ: he was young and had a beard. I studied David's face, trying to imagine how he would look with a beard, and listened intently as he continued his story.
"The manager of the Shakey's on Veterans resigned. I was managing the smallest restaurant in the chain and next in line for the bigger store. The Veteran's Shakey's was in disrepair, and I felt like I could grow in New Orleans East. I had already made up my mind to turn it down when the owner of the chain came to talk to me. The owner said, 'The manager of the Veteran's store has left, and I want you to take over the Gretna Shakey's.' He was an older man. I thought he had a senior moment, so I corrected him. 'You mean the Veteran Shakey's.' Then he corrected me. 'No, the manager of the Gretna Shakey's has seniority over you. He wants the Veteran Shakey's.' The Gretna Shakey's was the plum in the chain, the biggest and nicest of all the stores and located minutes away from The House of Living Water. God worked everything out, and I stayed at The House of Living Water until late in 1973—"
"I was saved at The House of Living Water in August 1973," I exclaimed. "I never knew the preacher's name, but I remember he was young and had a beard."
"I had a beard," said David.
David had more than a beard. He kept a small photo album in his office with pictures from that time in his life. I looked at a picture yellowed with age of a young David with a beard and said, "It was you!"
It's never too late to say thank you, and I thanked David for his obedience to God that led me to salvation.
What are the odds that the man God used to lead me to Christ would now pastor the first church I attended after my salvation—the same church where God unfolded and confirmed his plan for my life? What are the odds that I would return to Ehret Road thirty-eight years later and learn the identity of "the young preacher with a beard"? The odds are slim, but God's kindness is great. I walked out of Christian Fellowship knowing God had used me to comfort, encourage, and assure a faithful servant that his labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Follow Me: Spare His Life
Observations as I follow God through the Chronological Bible
Job 2[1]
On another day, the angels[2] presented themselves to God. God spotted Satan among them and started another conversation with a familiar question. "Where have you come from?"[3] Satan responded with an evasive answer, "From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it."[4] Satan had recently destroyed Job's business and killed Job's servants and children, but he was not satisfied. He continued roaming the earth seeking someone else to devour.
Once again, God directed Satan's attention to Job. Not only is God's servant a blameless, upright man who fears God and shuns evil, he maintained his integrity when he lost everything. At this point in the conversation, God accepted the blame for everything Satan did to Job saying, "you incited me against him [Job] to ruin him without any reason." Other translations say "without cause."[5]
The Hebrew word translated "without any reason" means gratis.[6] Satan incited God to ruin Job gratis. Satan gained the pleasure he derives from stealing, killing and destroying. God gained nothing from Job's suffering. He did not consider proving Satan was wrong about Job as an asset to be valued.
Again Satan threw down the gauntlet. "Skin for skin! A man will give all he has for his own life. But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face." There was more of Job to devour but God had limited Satan by forbidding him to lay a finger on him. Remarkably, God accepted Satan's challenge. But he also set a limit on what Satan could do to Job – "you must spare his life."[7] Satan left the presence of God and struck Job with "painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head."[8]
The intensifying of Job's suffering brought the truth about Job to light. He remained callous upon receiving news that all his children were dead. "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Praise the Lord," said Job.[9] Compare Job's reaction to the news seven sons and three daughters are dead with the reaction of a man after God's heart. When King David received news that one disobedient, rebellious son died he wept, "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you – O Absalom, my son, my son!"[10]
Job was not the only one suffering. His wife was also brought to poverty when Satan afflicted her husband. She spent seven and a half years pregnant bearing ten children and lost all of them in one day. In her grief and pain she was ready to give up. "Curse God and die," she said to her husband. They could have embraced one another and wept together. Instead, the stronger vessel responded to his wife's weakness and imperfection by calling her a fool.[11]
Job did not sin in what he said[12], but Job is not the only one who kept a tight rein on his tongue. Balaam was also a man of reputation who knew the Lord. Balak, King of Moab hired him to curse Israel. God forbid him to curse Israel and Balaam obeyed in what he said. That did not stop Balaam from teaching Balak how to lead Israel astray. Balaam had a spiritual problem and so did Job.
Part of Job's problem came to light when his friends arrived to comfort him. Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar were struck speechless by the depth of Job's suffering. They wept and sat in silence with him for seven days. Job broke the silence by cursing the day he was born, and then he revealed a reason God allowed him to suffer.
Job cried, "What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me."[13] Fear motivated Job's service to God, not love. He served God because he feared what might happen if he did not. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."[14]
Yes, Job was a blameless, upright man who feared God, shunned evil and maintained his integrity, but he was far from perfect.[15] His goodness blinded him to the lack of love in his heart. His quest for perfection made him a harsh man who alienated his children and was insensitive to the suffering of his wife, but there is hope because God spared his life.

Hello, I have purchased two 120mm case fans without really thinking if they will actually work -_-
My motherboard is a http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-P21--FX-.html and i currently have one 'SYS FAN 1' header on the mb free.
My question is, can i use the TX3 Fan Power Splitter Cable i've also ordered to plug both fans into, then plug the splitter into the 'sysfan 1' header or would it cause problems? The fans seem to be rated at 0.08a each which would equate to 0.16a? Though im not really sure of the max amp the sys fan 1 can handle :S
Any help would be appreciated as i dont want to have ended up wasting my money haha

Yes you can do this, I am currently downsizing from a ATX motherboard to a M-ATX as I want a smaller case and unfortunately the mobo I have bought does not have enough fan headers so a splitter will be necessary. I suspect that if anything the fans may spin a little slower but that will mean less noise.
So go ahead no problems.

Ah cheers! Was just worried I might over burden or fry the mobo header if the fans are too powerful but at 016a I'm sure they should be ok.

The present invention relates to improvements in internal combustion engines and more particularly to an engine piston which is provided with a heat-insulating layer on or within the surface of the piston which is exposed to the heat of the combustion gases, and it further relates to a method of producing such a heat-insulating layer by means of mineral substances, preferably of a ceramic type.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an 4 engine piston, especially one of light metal, in which the piston head is provided with a recess forming a part of the combustion chamber, and in which the parts of the piston head which are especially exposed to the heat of combustion are protected by a heat-insulating layer which is produced by heating the piston head to have a doughy consistency and by then embedding mineral substances in a pulverulent or granular form within the surface layer of the pistou head. In this manner it is possible to provide the piston by a relatively simple and inexpensive procedure with a very efficient heat-insulating layer at the surface which is exposed to the heat of the combustion chamber, and especially the surface of an open recess in a piston head which serves as a part of the combustion chamber as well the annular surface part of the piston head around this recess, so that these parts Will be protected from the effects of the high combustion temperatures. The method according to the invention of producing such a heat-insulating layer has the further advantage that the mineral substances will be intimately combined with the material of the piston on and adjacent to the surfaces of the piston head which should be protected, and regardless of the particular shape of these surfaces. A further great advantage of the new method is the fact that it permits the mineral substances to be easily embedded in the material of the piston at whatever amount or concentration and manner of distribution as may be desired and, for example, in such a manner that the heatinsulating effect of the embedded substances will gradually decrease toward the lower parts of the piston. A gradual reduction in the heat barrier is advantageous because a sharp line of demarkation between the heat insulating portion of the piston and the remainder of the piston would result in non-uniform expansion of the piston, its warping, and eventually in so-called freezing of the piston within its cylinder. The gradual decrease in the heat insulating effect according to the present invention avoids the above disadvantages and accordingly substantially increases the useful life of the piston.
Another feature of the invention consists in embedding the mineral substances in the piston head by pressing or shooting the substances into the piston head preferably by means of compressed air.
Another feature and special advantage of the invention is the fact that it also permits the mineral substances to be forced into the material of the piston head in a manner so that the density of the mineral substances will be greater on or adjacent to the surface of the piston head than more deeply within the piston head. For example, by injecting substances which are primarily fine grained, but which have some coarser grains mixed therein. The ner grains will be embedded adjacent the surface of the piston. The coarser grains, due to their greater mass, will penetrate a greater depth into the piston material than will ice the finer grains. Since the amount of finer grains predominate, the concentration of embedded material will decrease inwardly from the surface of the piston.
In order to permit the annular part of the piston along the piston shaft to be worked upon after the mineral substances have been embedded, and also to prevent the antifriction properties of the annular part of the piston from being affected by the mineral substances, it is also possible according to the invention to embed the mineral substances in a manner so that the peripheral surfaces of the piston head will be free of these substances, for example, by covering an annular portion of the top surface of the piston head adjacent to the outer edge thereof, while the mineral substances are being impressed into the material inwardly of this annular portion.
The above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become further apparent from the following detailed description thereof which is to be read with reference to the accompanying drawing of the upper part of a piston which is treated in accordance with the method according to the invention.
In this drawing which shows, largely in cross section, a piston 1 of light metal, the piston head 2 is shown as being provided with an open recess 3 serving as a combustion chamber. In order to insure that, when the engine is running under a partial load, the wall of this combustion chamber 3 will have a suiciently high teml perature, and in order to prevent the piston part 4 near the piston rings 5 from being excessively heated when the engine is running under full load, mineral substances 6, for example, of a ceramic type, are embedded in a pulverulent or granular form into the material of piston head 2 which for this purpose is heated to a doughy consistency. The mineral substances 6 are preferably distributed in the material of the piston head in such a manner that a large number of small grains are embedded in a dense concentration in the top surface of the piston head and also in the wall of the combustion chamber 3, while a smaller number of grains and preferably also of a larger size are distributed more deeply in the piston head and adjacent to the area containing the many small grains.
In order to protect the anti-friction properties of the upper piston part 7 above piston rings 5 from being affected by the granular mineral substances 6, and also to permit the piston to be easily machined after these substances have been embedded therein, this part 7 of the piston is left free of any mineral substances. This may be done in a very simple manner by covering the peripheral surface of the part 7 and also an annular part 8 of the top surface of the piston head during the process of embedding the mineral substances 6 in which these substances are forced into the material from the upper side of the piston head.
The embedding operation is preferably carried out by iirst heating the piston head to a doughy consistency and by then impressing or shooting the mineral substances into the desired parts by means of compressed air which is preferably heated. This may be done, for example, by means of an apparatus similar to a sand-blast blower. The embedding operation may, however, also be carried out by electro-static or magnetic means, either alone or in combination with a compressed-air current.
By embedding the mineral substances 6 in the manner as above described and as illustrated in the drawing, a heat-insulating effect may be attained which gradually decreases from the upper surface of the piston head and also from the wall of combustion chamber 3 toward the inside of the piston head. By selecting mineral substances of suitable granular sizes, and possibly also of different granular sizes during the course of the embedding operation, and by distributing them in the most desirable manner, it is possible t0 provide piston heads with any desired degree of heat insulation in accordance with the particular type of piston and the particular type of internal combustion engine in which the piston is to be used.
Although my invention has been illustrated and described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, I wish to have it understood that it is in no way limited to the details of such embodiment, but is capable of numerous modications within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus fully disclosed my invention, what I claim is:
For an engine piston having a head with a surface exposed to temperatures of combustion gases and a peripheral bearing wall, the method of treating said head so that there is presented a gradual decrease in heatresistance in the rportion of said head extending inwardly of said surface and spaced from said peripheral wall, said method including the steps of heating said surface to a doughy consistency, covering an annular portion of said lsurface adjacent to said peripheral bearing wall, and
Vembedding particulate substances of varying size having heat insulation properties at least primarily beneath the Vinner portion of said surface surrounded by said annular portion while decreasing the density of the embedded Vthan said small particles, and said covering step being effective for the purpose of preventing said peripheral bearing Wall from receiving any of said particles of ceramic material during said embedding step.

Most commercial breweries use a plate chiller. It is FAR more efficient then an immersion chiller. It would take quite a lot of cold water to drop a bbl from boiling to pitching temps with just an immersion coil and tap water.
A lot will depend on the temp of your chilling water. You can get a dual stage plate chiller in which you can use ground water to drop to a certain temp and then a refrigerated glycol system to take it down to pitching temps.
Here in CO I have never needed anything other then ground water. In TX and AZ, a glycol system was mandatory.
Good luck in your endeavors.
I'm in VA, even august tap water is ok and I can use recirc w/ice if I have to. I'm going with therminator. We'll see!
I would think that the therminator would be more then capable of handling a full barrel...it takes 10 gallons down without a problem,
I do 30 gallon batches and I use a therminator. My well water is 55F all year and I can chill 30 gallons of wort to 60F in about 20 min.
word up - thanks fellas!

Town, village plan for prairie at old landfill
Both the Village and Town of Somerset listened to a presentation about the proposed prairie park at the site of the old landfill during their joint meeting last week.
The approximately 50-acre property is co-owned by the village and town, and has been out of use for years. Some ideas that had been suggested were to put soccer fields in or create a park with trails.
However, it is official now: The site will revert to the prairie land it was hundreds of years ago.

Super Bowl: Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski Unveil $1.5 Million Esurance Ad Winner (Video)
The car insurance brand got more mileage out of the post-big game ad on Wednesday night.
John Krasinski's Esurance ad -- which aired right after the conclusion of Sunday's lopsided Super Bowl -- was noted by media observers as a smart ad buy for encouraging Twitter users to tweet about the brand in hopes of winning $1.5 million.
The car insurance purveyor got more mileage out of the promotion with a tie-in on Jimmy Kimmel's Wednesday late-night show, where the host and The Office actor announced the winner of the prize.
STORY: How You Watched the Super Bowl
The lucky winner? "His name is John, he lives in Northern California, but for his protection we can't say where," said Krasinski. "He's 29, he's recently married and he has a baby on the way."
Kimmel cameramen are then seen appearing at the house of the winner with what appears to be a stack of cash, with the happy couple appearing to be vaguely uncertain initially about whether the giveaway was real. The winner, John, noted that he only tweeted the brand's hashtag once on Sunday.
The hashtag, #EsuranceSave30, made the car insurance company the most tweeted-about brand of the Super Bowl, according to Nielsen, topping heavily promoted spots like Budweiser's "Puppy Love," T-Mobile's "No Contract," starring Tim Tebow, and Bud Light's "Up for Whatever."

Renting a Park Slope apartment in Brooklyn puts you in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the United States. Green, clean, convenient, beautiful, and trendy all apply here. New York Magazine actually ranked Park Slope its top New York choice in 2010. Named for its location on the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is roughly bordered by the park, Fourth Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, and Greenwood Cemetery.
In the late 1870s, urban sprawl reached Park Slope, first making it into one of Manhattan's "streetcar suburbs." Large Victorian mansions went up along the park. The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 and the boom here continued, with the construction of many brick and brownstone homes. By 1890, Park Slope was the richest community in the United States. In the 1950s, however, wealthy families migrated to the suburbs. Park Slope became more working class. In the 70s, the pendulum swung back. Renovated brownstones lured in affluent professionals who displaced working class residents. This gentrification continues. Park Slope could hardly be a more desirable address now, but that doesn't it mean it won't try.
Park Slope's main business streets are Fifth and Seventh avenues. Among the top rated restaurants here, people praise al di la trattoria's Venetian inspired cuisine. Blue Ribbon and Café Steinhof get high marks as well. If you're looking for something less fancy, Park Slope supports restaurants appropriate for all budgets. Nightlife in the area is also active. Bars like The Gate and Loki Lounge pour cocktails for the cosmopolitan crowd.
Interesting shopping is a perk of Park Slope. There are trendy boutiques such as 4 Play Brooklyn, Brooklyn Industries, Bird, and others. More basic services get upgraded delivery, too. The 16,000+ members of the Park Slope Food Co-op pitch in 2_ hours of work every four weeks to get access to discounts on organic produce, grass-fed meat, and more. If Prospect Park's 585-acres don't satisfy your need for green space, it's time to reconsider living in the city.
The residents of Park Slope are diverse, but most new recruits are younger and upper middle class. Some people call the neighborhood "stroller city" after the number of "granola moms"-eco-conscious mothers-who push their toddlers around town. Rental options are mostly in historic brick and brownstone homes, but you can find some mid-rise buildings overlooking the park. Due to rent stabilization, don't be surprised to discover that your neighbor pays as little as a third of your rent. One-bedrooms average $2,300 and two-bedrooms go for near $3,000 in Park Slope.
Park Slope is well served by the New York subway system. Lines that run here are the IND Culver, the IRT Eastern Parkway, the BMT Fourth Avenue, and the BMT Brighton. It will take you about half an hour to reach Manhattan on the train.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and the Brooklyn Museum are just a few of the attractions that keep Park Slope so highly rated. The Brooklyn Central Library is just across Flatbush Avenue. Park Slope falls between Community School District 13 and Community School District 15, giving area students access to a number of quality public and private schools. Brooklyn Community Board 6 handles Park Slope.
Zip codes serving Park Slope are 11215 and 11217.

Credit Options
Do you need credits for your professional and salary advancement?
You'll get a certificate of attendance at the end of your Responsive Classroom workshop. (One-day workshops are generally 6 hours, and multi-day workshops are 28.)
If you need graduate-level, professional development credit for your work, you can earn it through Brandman University, part of the Chapman University system.
Cost is $70 per credit. Completion of a 28-hour Responsive Classroom workshop is required and is a separate tuition and registration process.
If you have already completed a Brandman credit course, go here to find instructions on accessing your grade, transcript, or financial receipt.
2-Credit Option
Educators who have completed the Responsive Classroom Course (RCC), Responsive Classroom Advanced Course (RCAC), Responsive Classroom Level I (RCI), or Responsive Classroom Level II (RCII) may receive 2 graduate-level professional development credits by submitting:
- brief response paper (600–1,200 words)
- completed cover page
- copy of your certificate of attendance from your workshop
See complete instructions, including response paper topics. To be eligible for this 2-credit option, your Responsive Classroom training must be recent—you must register with Brandman University within 2 years of completing your training. Your coursework is due within 1 month after you register with Brandman University or 1 month after completing your Responsive Classroom training, whichever is later.
3-Credit Option
Educators who have completed the Responsive Classroom Course (RCC), Responsive Classroom Advanced Course (RCAC), Responsive Classroom I (RCI) or Responsive Classroom II (RCII) may receive 3 graduate-level professional-development credits by completing projects designed to strengthen understanding and practice of Responsive Classroom strategies.

"Normally, after a seminar teachers say they're going to try something different but rarely do. Responsive Classroom has so many good strategies, and by completing this assignment, I am making them habits, not ideas that I'll do one day." —Lisa, teacher, Bedford, VA
"The 'Hopes & Dreams' assignment was very meaningful and had a direct impact on my teaching. I credit it to the great successes I have had this year in building a great classroom community so quickly." —Sarah, teacher, Leominster MA
