You don't need a hydrometer to brew. I haven't owned a hydrometer since my first days of brewing, and then only because I was reading books and they act like you need one.
I have taught a lot of people how to brew and it never involved a hydrometer.
When beer is fermenting, it bubbles. When it stops, it's done. There is no need to take samples and worry and fret over it. It's done when it's done.
There is no problem waiting too long to bottle or keg. There is no need to bottle on the very first day it is finished.
I see no advantage and a lot of potential risk to doing something like taking samples to see if your beer is done. A taste is a more reliable method. If you simply must worry about the gravity, take samples when you are already racking. It's really a bad idea to take samples just for the heck of it.
Here's what I do:
1) Make beer. Put in primary.
2) 5-7 days later (when I have time), rack to a secondary.
3) Let it sit in the secondary until the bubbling stops and the yeast settles.
4) Keg or bottle when you have time, but letting it sit a few weeks will hurt nothing, and help the flavor a lot.
See how absolutely no hydrometer was needed? I grant that some folks may want to keep track of those numbers, and that's fine, but it is not necessary, and it certainly isn't worth the risk of taking needless samples, that risk infection and waste beer.
So unless you really like keeping track of gravity, throw away your hydrometer. I don't know why the books emphasize it so much, but no one I know uses one, and I know folks who brew a LOT of good beer. It'll just make you worry about something extra if you're getting started. Instead focus on good sanitation, and your beer will be great.
hehe good post! and good point. it seems a bit much, unless you want to know how much alcohol is in yer beer. it seemed too much like math/science to me (and thus not fun!) to be taking readings, so i disregarded that part of the instructions!
If you have even a tiny air leak in your system, your airlock can stop bubbling before fermentation is complete. If you then bottle before fermentation is complete, you'll have exploding bottles.
If you brew all grain or mini mash, you need a hydrometer to know your extraction rate to help you adjust future recipes.
Professional brewers all use hydrometers.
It's wonderful that you've been brewing without a hydrometer and havn't had a problem. However, I don't think you should advise new brewers to throw away such a valuable tool -- which, by the way, is not included with every 5-gallon starter kit just to torment new brewers.
That's like driving a car without a gas guage, watching your mileage to estimate when you need to buy gas. You may never run out, but does that mean everyone should drive this way?
I'm not sure it is good not learn to do things the right way from the start. For you this appears to work and that is great, but I think that knowing how to measure the SG is better learned at the beginning so it becomes second nature to the brewer. I never trust that just because it isn't bubbling it is done, one exploding bottle and the stitches to go with it will put paid to that. The SG will tell you if your fermentation is stuck, which can come active again when the spirit moves it. I measure the alcohol as a way of checking the conversion efficiency not to know if it is stronger or not. Far better to avoid making bottle bombs. But whatever works for each individual and pleases them.
Well, as you know by now I've just brewed my first batch. I tried to get a reading, but forgot it, so now I won't know what the finished reading should be. I plan to use a hydrometer just so that I can record my brews and get a feel for what needs adjusting. And I'd like to know the alcohol content of my beer, just for curiosity's sake. I like good records, and the idea of honing my skills. It may not be necessary, but it sure isn't difficult. Put it in, read it, take it out. Do it at the start, at the finish. You don't have to stress over it, but it might be fun just to know how it all comes together scientifically. I can see myself phasing hydro readings out of my brewing if it becomes a nuisance, but to start, I think I'll give it a try.
good for you. keep on brewing.
For the record, we have been brewing for many, many years and we have a Web site/business that sells home beer brewing supplies: http://www.bradyshomebrew.com.
I have avoided listing the URL because I don't want to be seen as taking advantage of this forum for personal gain, but this is getting ridiculous.
I think it's wonderful that this forum has taken off and that it's attracting a lot of people, but to advise people on multiple threads to throw out their hydrometers is wrong. I am NOT trying to sell hydrometers, but they are valuable tools that are BASIC to homebrewing.
Anne Brady
richanne, it may be basic, in the sense that everyone buys one when they start. It is not necessary, and you have posted nothing to the contrary.
Are you sure you have any actual concrete reasons why a hydrometer is necessary? You certainly haven't posted any reasoning to support your assertion that it is dangerous not to use one.
Brewing is simpler than the books and richanne make it out to be. Use a hydrometer if you want. I can guarantee, based on the literally thousands of gallons of beer I have brewed, that it is in no way neceessary. I think I have supported my opinion that it is an area that new brewers unnecessarily worry about.
And I'm pretty sure there were brewers before hydrometers...
Good point at the end there -- yes, there were certainly brewers before there were hydrometers.
I looked back over this thread, and I don't see where I ever asserted that brewing without a hydrometer was "dangerous." We've actually done it our ourselves on certain brews. It could be dangerous to bottle too soon, for obvious reasons, but as you say, letting your beer sit a little longer before bottling, just to be sure, certainly doesn't hurt either.
You just seemed to be on some sort of crusade in this forum, in several threads, to persuade new brewers to throw out their hydrometers, and to be honest, I think it was over the top.
Lots of people like knowing more about what's going on with their beer, what the alcohol percentage is, etc...
Some of the new brewers here may have been stressing out a bit about readings, and letting them know they don't need to throw out the beer just because they don't have an OG reading is great.
This forum is shaping up to be a great resource for new brewers, and I think we may want to link to it soon, but it would be nice to know that people aren't being told to en masse throw out valuable parts of their starter kits. What's next? Burning the bottle brush?

When the Moto 360 launched a few months ago, consumers were stuck with the bands that shipped with the watch. There are third-party solutions, but a good amount of people like to use what is provided by the manufacturer. The demands of many are finally being met as standalone bands for the Moto 360 are now available directly through Motorola. The bands come in leather and metal materials. The leather options include black, stone, and cognac for $29 each. The metal, priced at $79, comes in light finish (silver) and dark finish (black).

Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 8
Mixed: 3 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
There's a good chance that Judge's smartly lowbrow Idiocracy will be mistaken for what it's satirizing, but good satire always runs the risk -- of being misunderestimated.
The plot, naturally, is silly and not exactly bound by logic. But it's Judge's gimlet-eyed knack for nightmarish extrapolation that makes Idiocracy a cathartic delight.
It elicits so many laughs, in fact, that you have to wonder just what Judge did to piss off the suits at Fox so much that they would willingly torpedo one of the only genuinely hilarious movies to come out this year.
A satire for its time. What Judge is less sure of here than in his previous, perfectly pitched live-action comedy "Office Space," is how to build a complete movie around his key ideas.
Judge races through some of his most provocative ideas in the opening minutes and ignores his story's many logical inconsistencies; the movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.
If you crave a lively and funny trek through the farcical possibilities of unchecked dimwit power, Judge is still your guy. Just go rent "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America" instead.

MikeWJan 16, 2009I'll still be discussing this film with my buddies 50 years down the road - I've never had any other film provoke so much thought about the direction of mankind and society as Idiocracy has. The irony of this film is amazingly well-hidden under a thick veil of fart jokes and anatomical references, intentionally hidden from the two audiences that it seeks to satirize: the snooty crowd that probably didn't make it through the first 30 minutes of the film (and likely rushed home to their computers so they could write some very negative reviews), and the mainstream crowd that was too busy laughing at "OW, my balls!" to notice that they're the heel of the humor. Mike Judge proves, once again, that he is the true spokesman for my generation.… Expand
VitoSep 6, 2006Some reviewers don't get this movie, and some bad reviews aren't even real reviews at all, just lame synopses without any real editorial content. Watch this movie for yourself.

MichaelS.Feb 8, 2007The hits are worth it when compared to the misses; the opening 15 minutes that explain the basis of the movie are very funny, but terrifying.

That's make what makes it good satire - it is what it wishes it wasn't.… Expand
JasonJ.Jan 17, 2007OK, you can trust my review. The first 45 minutes of Idiocracy gets a 10. I've never laughed so hard, especially at the beginning portions of the 2505 part. This movie, had the plot taken the right turn, would have been the cult classic of the decade. However, the plot goes south when the President and his cabinet become the focus.

When His influence is put forth within us
(James Smith, "The Spirit of Grace" 1864)
All that the Spirit does for us, and all that He works within us — is of grace. He graciously . . .
quickens the dead,
instructs the ignorant,
liberates the captives,
restores the wanderers,
comforts the dejected,
strengthens the weak,
and sanctifies the impure.
His work is His delight — and to see us holy and happy is His pleasure!
The Holy Spirit produces all our graces within us. He is the root — and our graces are His fruits; hence we read, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance."
When His influence is put forth within us — then we . . .
believe God's Word,
hope in His mercy,
rejoice in His goodness,
cleave to His cause,
walk in His ways,
love His truth, His people, and Himself,
holiness is then happiness,
duties are then pleasant, and
even the cross lays light upon our shoulders.
But if the Spirit hides Himself, withdraws His influences, and leaves us to ourselves — then we . . .
doubt and fear,
fret and pine,
kick and rebel,
rove from thing to thing, and
nothing will either please or satisfy us.
We often then . . .
question the past,
are wretched at present,
and dread the future.
But when He puts forth His power in us again . . .
our graces shoot forth like bulbous roots in the spring,
our sighs are exchanged for songs,
our fears are exchanged for fortitude,
our doubts are exchanged for confidence, and
our murmurings are exchanged for gratitude and love.
We then . . .
sink into the dust of self-abasement,
admire the forbearance and patience of God,
condemn our own conduct, and
wonder that we are out of Hell.
Then we take down our harps from the willows, and with a melting heart, a weeping eye, and a tremulous voice we sing, "Thewinter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance." Our wilderness is now turned into an Eden — and our desert into the garden of the Lord!
Come, Holy Spirit, come, and produce a spring season in our souls!
Brethren, we need the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of grace — to make us gracious and graceful Christians. Without the Spirit of grace . . .
we cannot live up to our profession;
we cannot copy the example of our beloved Master;
we cannot keep His commandments;
we cannot love one another as He has loved us;
we cannot sympathize with lost sinners as we should;
we cannot keep God's glory in view in all that we do;
we cannot walk in high and holy fellowship with God;
we cannot meet death with peace and joy!
Dealing With Difficulty
By Chip Brogden
We should not expect things to always go as planned, even when we are indeed following the will of God, and especially when we are trying to do what we feel led to do. Sometimes it seems as if everything is rising up against us.
"Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, after they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them" (Acts 16:6-10).
"Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us" (I Thessalonians 2:18).
His teaching makes practical Christians!
(James Smith)
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name — He will teach you all things!" John 14:26
The Holy Spirit is the Teacher of the church. To Him the promise refers, "All Your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."
He taught the apostles all things necessary for their office and work.
He teaches the true ministers of Christ, leading them into the truth as it is in Jesus.
And he teaches every believer — all that is really necessary for him to know!
The Bible is the lesson-book,
the believer is the scholar,
the blessed Spirit is the teacher, and
experimental religion is the education!
No one teaches like Him!
He teaches us . . .
silently, and
always effectually!
For only what the Spirit teaches us — do we really know!
He teaches us . . .
what God requires in His Word,
what He has provided in His gospel;
what Christ is to His people,
what His people are to Him.
His teaching makes practical Christians — for He always teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world!
My Shepherd!
(J. R. Miller "Bethlehem to Olivet" 1905)
"The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need!" Psalm 23:1
The shepherd is a favorite Scriptural picture of the divine love and care. In the Old Testament, the twenty-third Psalm gathers the whole wonderful truth in exquisite lines, which are dear to young and old wherever the Bible is known. Then in the New Testament, when our Lord would give His friends the sweetest revealings of His heart toward them, and tell them what they are to Him, and what He would be to them—He says, "I am the Good Shepherd."
The Hebrew shepherd lives with his sheep. If they are out in the storm—he is with them. If they are exposed to danger—so is he. Just so, Christ lives with His people. He enters into closest relations with them.
The shepherd knows his sheep. He has a name for each one and calls them all by their names. Just so, Christ knows each one of His friends, has intimate personal knowledge of each one. He knows the best in us—and also the worst—our faults, our sins, our wanderings. Yet, knowing us as we are—He loves us still and never wearies of us!
The shepherd is most gentle with his sheep. He does not drive them—but goes before them and leads them. When they need rest on the way—he makes them lie down, and chooses for their resting-place, not the dusty road—but green pastures. He is especially kind to the lambs, gathers them in his arms and carries them in his bosom.
All this is an exquisite picture of the gentleness of our Good Shepherd in His care of His sheep. He is thoughtful toward the weak. He loves the lambs and makes room for them on His bosom. Whatever the need is, there is something in the heart of Christ which meets its craving and supplies its lack!
The shepherd defends his flock in all danger. Often he had to risk his own safety, even his life, in protecting his sheep. Just so, the Good Shepherd gives His life—for His sheep!
Christ's sheep are absolutely safe in His keeping. "I give unto them eternal life," He said; "and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand!" Then at last, He will bring His own all safely home, "and they shall become one flock—with one Shepherd!"

Tender kisses!
"Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, for Your love is better than wine." Song of Solomon 1:2
Of all the relationships that we as believers share with our blessed Savior, perhaps none is more intimate and comforting than that of marriage. Jesus has betrothed us to Himself in holy matrimony and covenant grace. We are . . .
His beloved bride,
the apple of His eye,
the darling of His heart;
and He is the gracious Husband of our immortal souls!
We are, by sovereign grace, forever one with Jesus our Husband!
Oh what a glorious privilege it is to be joined to Jesus in the blessed bond of marriage!
He loves me!
He cares for me!
He defends and protects me!
He provides for my every need!
He comforts, supports, and cherishes me!
I have His heart — and He has mine!
"I am my Beloved's — and my Beloved is mine!"
I belong to Him — and He belongs to me!
Oh that my Beloved would "kiss me with the kisses of His mouth," that He would . . .
embrace my soul,
draw me to Himself,
caress my heart ever so gently with His merciful touch,
and grant me sweet tokens of His love for me.
Oh how I long for Him to express His love and affection to me with the tender kisses of . . .
sovereign love,
free grace,
immutable faithfulness,
and undying compassion,
"for His love is better than wine!"
Wine makes glad the heart, but His love is better than the finest wine! His love . . .
causes my broken heart to rejoice,
renews my strength,
brightens my vision,
causes me to walk uprightly in the paths of righteousness, and
moves my heart to take flight through the heavens with wings as an eagle.
Excess wine intoxicates men, and is forbidden by God. Too much wine will ruin a man. It alters the state of men's minds, seizes control of men, dulls their senses, and destroys their ability to exercise sound judgment and reason.
But Jesus' love is better than wine! It is not possible to overindulge in the intoxicating love of Jesus, nor is it forbidden. Indeed, the gospel encourages love to Jesus.
The wine of His love doesn't ruin men — it transforms them!
His love for us, invigorates our love for Him . . .
intoxicating our hearts,
seizing control of them,
overpowering our wills and our senses,
giving us sound reason, and spiritual judgment.
Oh blessed Lord, we beg you, give us this wine!
Fill our cups full!
Cause them to overflow!
Pour into our hearts the intoxicating love of Jesus the Lord!
The desire of a believer's soul can be summed up in one word, JESUS! "Whom have I in Heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside You!" Psalm 73:25
We desire Him . . .
His person,
His love,
His glory,
His grace,
His will,
His salvation,
His righteousness,
His way.
All we want is in Jesus!
All we need is in Jesus!
All we have is in Jesus!
Jesus is all — and Jesus is better!
Better than the treasures of kings!
Better than all earthly possessions!
Better than passing pleasures and prestige!
Indeed, He is better than all earthly delights combined!
If we don't have Jesus, then we have nothing!
If we have Him, then we have everything!
"Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find!"

For His poor Rachel
("The Marvelous Riches of Savoring Christ,
The letters of Ruth Bryan" 1805-1860)
Did Jacob serve seven years for his Rachel--by day in
the heat, and by night in the frost--and did they seem
but as a day unto him--for the love he had for her?
Our spiritual Jacob has far exceeded him! He left
the throne of His glory for His poor Rachel, and
took her humble flesh in the form of a servant; and
for her sake served thirty-three years under the Law!
He bore the heat of temptation, weariness, and thirst;
as well as the cold of reproach and scorn, and the
malice of sinners against Himself. This He thought
not too much; for when He had finished the work on
her behalf, for her He cheerfully entered upon the
most bitter part of His sufferings, which made even
His mighty heart to shudder with agony, while His
dear lips prayed--"O my Father, if it is possible,
(with the rescue of my Bride) let this cup of suffering
be taken away from Me; nevertheless, not as I will,
but as You will."
Behold the depth of His unflinching love! The 'cup of
curse' must be drunk, or the captive Bride must perish!
And so He takes the bitter cup, and does not turn away
until every dreg is consumed! And the same sacred lips
which emptied it could say in triumph, "It is finished!"
For the joy that was set before Him (of possessing His
beloved bride) He endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has now sat down at the right hand of God, until the
blissful consummation before assembled worlds, when it
will be joyfully proclaimed, "The marriage of the Lamb
has come, and His wife has made herself ready!"
Then shall the spiritual Jacob and His Rachel meet and
embrace, and part no more forever! She awaking up after
His likeness, shall be satisfied! And He seeing her in glory,
(the very travail of His soul,) shall be satisfied likewise!
"May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so
great you will never fully understand it!" Ephes. 3:19
That Almighty Friend, Advocate and Physician
(J. C. Ryle, "Do You Believe?")
Christ is that brazen serpent which God has set up
in the world, for the healing of all sin-bitten souls who
desire to be cured. The believer looks to Him by faith
—and receives life, health, and spiritual strength!
Christ is that true city of refuge, to which the man
fleeing from the avenger of blood runs, and in which
he is safe.
Christ is that altar which provided a sanctuary to him
who laid hold on its horns. Christ is that almighty hand
of mercy, which God holds out from heaven to lost and
drowning sinners. The believer lays hold on this hand
by faith—and is delivered from the pit of hell.
The Lord Jesus says, "My flesh is food indeed. He who
eats of this bread shall live forever" (John 6:55, 58).
Christ is that divine food which God has provided for
starving sinners! He is that divine bread which is at
the same time—life, nourishment and medicine! The
believer feeds on this bread of life by faith. His hunger
is relieved. His soul is delivered from damnation!
The Lord Jesus says, "My blood is drink indeed" (John
6:55). Christ is that fountain of living water which God
has opened for the use of all thirsty and sin-defiled
sinners, proclaiming, "Whoever will, let him take the
water of life freely!" (Rev. 22:17). The believer drinks
of this living water—and his thirst is quenched.
Christ is the appointed keeper and guardian of His
people. It is His office to preserve from sin, death, hell,
and the devil—any who are committed to His charge.
The believer places his soul in the hands of this Almighty
treasure-keeper, and is insured against loss to all eternity.
He trusts himself to Christ—and is safe.
Christ is that Almighty Friend, Advocate and
Physician—to whom all sinners, needing help, are
commanded to apply. The believer comes to Him
by faith—and is relieved.

Virtual Causeway
"This job is like the tv show "The Office" but worse and not funny "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Virtual Causeway full-time (more than 3 years)
- If you don't have a vehicle, it's on a transit route
- There are 'summer hours' on Fridays where you can be done at 1 pm, but you have to stay later during the week to make up the time. This also didn't apply for management level
- You can win prizes for meeting calling quotas and lead generation targets (con: they are terrible prizes)
- The pay is REALLY low. It's a little above the poverty line for non-management employees
- You are on the phone all day long, making cold calls and working on research projects in between calls at the same time. If you do not meet your daily call quota (which can be in the 100's) or if there is too much down time between each call (a few minutes), you will be in trouble.
- Extreme micro management
- No breaks allowed because going to the bathroom is a break
- Not allowed to socialize with coworkers outside of work or you will be potentially written up. Not allowed to spend too much time with other departments because it's looked down upon.
- If you call in sick, expect multiple phone calls home. Example: emergency contacts have been called just because of an employee calling in sick with the flu. I was told specifically, if you are contagious that's one thing. If you have the stomach flu, you can still come in and do work. You also cannot leave work if you are sick without a giant hassle. Example: Had to get doctor's note on a Friday to leave 3 hours earlier due to having a really bad cold. Also got several employees sick because of it.
- No open door policy because the management team is related - through marriage or siblings. HR reports to them so nothing will ever change.
- When you quit, you're expected to give many weeks notice (at least 4, but preferably 6-12 months). You will be treated poorly as well as ignored during your notice period.
- Get some ethics and a soul because everyone hates working for you because of you.

I worked at Virtual Causeway full-time (less than an year)Pros
During the summer Fridays are half days hours must be made up earlier in the week and the organization is closed during the Christmas Holidays.Cons
The culture with the organization leaves a lot to be desired with stern management whose sole focus is for employees to execute hundreds of calls within a day leaves little room for growth or happiness. The job descriptions are designed in a manner not to note what the job actually is and a lot of University grads waste their talent and knowledge within this organization. It is a place where family or personal emergencies are not to be mentioned and you must be careful not to take a minute longer for your break or lunch. I advise anyone looking for a position where they would like to utilize their skills, to be happy and to grow not to apply to this company. How the company represents itself within the industry and community is not the reality for employees.Advice to ManagementAdvice
The management needs to change and HR needs to tell potential employees what the job really is nonstop calling you just stop for breaks and lunch.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Virtual Causeway full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Virtual Causeway has built a reputation for excellence among its clients and team members. Recognized for its leadership and innovation - Virtual Causeway has been in business since 2001.
Leaders at Virtual Causeway are passionate, solution oriented and work closely with team members to resolve issues, and work diligently to coach and guide staff to success. Leaders and staff are excited about the technology and services we market, and have exposure to cutting edge approaches to technology and the sales and marketing approaches to sell the technology to prospective clients.
Key attributes for employees: fast paced, variety of projects, leadership who cares about team members, employees are not a number, plenty of opportunities for growth, development and stretching your skills.
You can drive your career by having a great attitude, performing, and working as a solid team member.
Recognition and feedback are part of the everyday culture.
You are rewarded by what you do and accomplish, not on what you say you will do.
There are many perks for employees - events, training, exposure to local and international clients. Virtual Causeway employees have access to some of the most sought after executives across North America.
Most of our managers have been promoted from within - hard work, a solutions based approach, leadership competence and strong team players are recognized and rewarded for their contributions and gain increased responsibility accordingly.
We attract ex outside sales persons who are tired of 14 hour days, fighting traffic, beating the pavement, and managing the stress of a heavy travel schedule.
Many of our team members have enjoyed long tenure with our organization - and our average tenure is 4+ years of service.Cons
Team members are really busy, because there is a lot of demand for our services. This also means we do not have cyclical layoffs due to work shortages.
You count. If you plan to "call in sick" when you're not, slack off, or be a negative influence in the team - team members won't join in your whine fest. Solid team members are busy being successful, have good job satisfaction, and are earning a solid income for their efforts.
Unsuccessful team members and ex-team members who complain and hide behind false and pejorative reviews. Every company has cons, but as a leader, working with management is the way to resolve the issues, not using social media to gripe after the fact. Readers should read reviews with a critical mindset and review those critical reviews from other organizations. There are negative people everywhere and these people tend to have a history of being part of the problem, not part of the solution.Advice to ManagementAdvice
As a member of upper management, I can tell you, we work very hard to support our team members. Running a business is not easy, and management has the responsibility of juggling the needs of employees and clients, while ensuring a safe, health and compliant workplace for team members. It's a major juggling act.
We care about employee success, their welfare and their families. For people who are used to working at faceless corporations where you can hide under the radar - this is a very different atmosphere. If you want to slack off and do the minimum, this is not the company for you. If you want to work hard to achieve, be successful, grow in your career and have great opportunities - this is a terrific environment where you can thrive.
The demand for our services continues to grow - and we've managed to build and foster a terrific line-up of clients in a variety of sectors - to ensure we continue to be vibrant, relevant and successful.
People have complaints with EVERY employer - we want to hear from our employees and do our best to understand and resolve issues.

Failbetter Games Working With BioWare On Unannounced Project
Failbetter Games is a small company known for its browser game Fallen London. The title has elements of "choose your own adventure" storytelling in a London that has been dragged under the Earth.
Today, the company revealed it is working with BioWare on an unannounced project. No further details are available, but we've reached out to EA just in case.
The Dragon Age universe has had a number of tie-in games, including the Facebook title Dragon Age Legends and the free-to-play mobile title Heroes of Dragon Age. With Inquisition slated for later in 2014, a new side-story could be what Failbetter is working.
[Source: Failbetter Games via Joystiq]
Our Take
This is the first time I've heard of Failbetter Games, but Fallen London sounds intriguing and has earned a faithful audience and critical accolades. The company also has a Kickstarter prequel to Fallen London, The Silver Tree, which we covered in our Kickstarter roundup. As a BioWare fan, consider me intrigued.

Cryptozoic Entertainment Working On Portal Board Game
Cryptozoic Entertainment announced that it is working on a tabletop game based on Valve's popular puzzle series Portal. Cryptozoic is also working on games based on The Walking Dead and NHL.
Cryptozoic Entertainment has previously worked on games for properties like Street Fighter, Penny Arcade, and Hawken, but during the American International Toy Fair last week, the company released a few details about its upcoming Portal game.
The game is tentatively titled Portal: Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game and is designed for two to four players. The company is working with some of the designers of the games to deliver a unique narrative experience. The retail package will come with custom playing pieces that include test subjects, sentry turret, weighted companion cube, and of course cake. Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game will release sometime in the fall for $ 50.
[Source: Cryptozoic via Polygon]
Our Take
This sounds cool to me. I love Portal and enjoy board games. However, I question how a board game can capture the spirit of Valve's popular puzzle game, but since Cryptozoic is working with some of the original designers, I'm willing to give them the benefit of a doubt.
Gearbox Not Currently Working On Borderlands 3
In a recent interview, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says
Borderlands fans shouldn't be expecting a new sequel anytime soon.
with Polygon, Pitchford says that Gearbox definitely wants to do Borderlands
3, but isn't ready to tackle it just yet. "We love Borderlands, and we
know customers do too," Pitchford says. "So we will be doing more in
Borderlands. But the thing that – when you think of what Borderlands 3 should be…no.
We are not developing that right now. We don't know what that is yet. We can
imagine what it must achieve, but we don't know what it is yet."
Pitchford also told Polygon that the developer has a number
of projects in the works, including two new, unannounced IPs for next-gen
systems, and a new Homeworld game, which Gearbox bought
the rights to in the THQ auction. Pitchford covers a lot of ground in the
interview, so click the link below to check it out.
[Source: Polygon]
Our Take
Borderlands has become Gearbox's
signature franchise, so it's a bit surprising that the developer isn't starting
work on a sequel. However, Gearbox's missteps with Alien:
Colonial Marines and Duke
Nukem Forever have tarnished the developer's good name; I'm glad to see the
studio isn't rushing its most beloved franchise and wants to deliver something
that lives up to fans' expectations. I'm certainly willing to wait for it.

Toronto Fashion Week (#TFW) has been blowing up the Twitterverse here in Toronto since it began late last week. Though clearly not as grandiose and glamorous as New York or Milan Fashion Week, Toronto is a buzz, with beautiful people and beautiful style photographers peppering the streets of King and Peter and the Yorkville area. It's the Toronto fashionista's time to shine and shine brightly they do!
I was lucky enough to attend the Chloe Commes Parris and Martin Lim shows on Tuesday. At Chloe Commes Parris we saw gorgeous, witchy ensembles with lots of heavy black and Salem-inspired hair buns. Martin Lim was all about lines and dimensions, sticking to one or duo tones locked in strict square and rectangular shapes for his pieces. Press and media snapped away photos and the day was done.
There are still tons more shows to go and I'm sure the blogosphere is erupting with glee at the collections we've seen. Hopefully, Canadian talent will battle through the cut-throat business of fashion and rise to the top. We've got some crazy good designers that deserve just as much recognition as Kate Spade and Tory Burch get!

PHOENIX – In an effort to help holiday travelers and promote safety, the Arizona Department of Transportation says no construction closures are scheduled along Phoenix-area freeways or state highways over the Thanksgiving weekend. No closures will be scheduled between Wednesday afternoon and early Monday morning, Dec. 1.
Drivers who have plans to travel over the weekend are urged to focus on safety. Motorists should focus on staying alert and obeying speed limits, especially in areas where existing work zones are in place.
ADOT, the Department of Public Safety and the Governor's Office of Highway Safety ask motorists to follow these safe-driving tips:
For the latest highway conditions across Arizona, travelers can visit ADOT's Travel Information site at az511.gov or call 511 (outside Arizona call 888.411.ROAD). ADOT's public information line for state highway conditions is 602.712.6513. You can also track closures and other highway conditions at Twitter.com/ArizonaDOT.

Former Republican Rep. Implores Minnesota House to Vote Yes on Equality
March 12, 2013 by Trevor Chandler, Associate Regional Field Director
Earlier today marriage equality passed through the Minnesota Senate Judiciary Committee on a 5-3 vote, and we now look to the House Civil Law Committee to pass the legislation later tonight.
One of the most emotional moments of testimony today came when former Republican Representative Lynne Osterman spoke about her regret for "casting a politically expedient vote in favor of [Minnesota's] DOMA." Tearing up, she told the House Civil Law Committee members:
Voting no today, this session, might seem politically expedient. But I can tell you from experience that you will have to live knowing that a no vote is not fair, it's not respectful and it's not equal.
I blew my vote and I'm imploring you, please get this right. Minnesota citizens just want you to lead.

During six days in October, iZettle helped six of Britain's smallest businesses open their own flagship store on Britain's greatest shopping street – for 12 hours each. This is what happened.
One store, with six grand openings and six grand closings in six days on Oxford Street, the busiest shopping street in Britain. See the iZettle stunt that helped business rebels reach success overnight:
iZettle wants to remind entrepreneurs that even global brands that now trade on Oxford Street in London started out as small businesses. In this brand-obsessed world it's getting harder and harder to make it. Shopping districts around the world are dominated by big brands. But small business rebels, entrepreneurs and nomadic retailers are fighting hard to bring their products to the world.
To show that iZettle is all about supporting these businesses and helping them take on the fight they did something no company has ever done before – they invited six of Britain's smallest businesses to open up their very own flagship store on Britain's greatest shopping street.… Read the rest

I want to carb a batch of hard cider I made. But I was thinking about using DME or LME to prime it rather than sugar.
A) Would that work?
B) If so how much should I add to reach a normal carbonation level?
C) Also if so, what would be a good type to complement the flavor of a hard cider?
Sure, that would work!
When I prime with DME, I normally use 1.25 cups of DME for 5 gallons. That's for the same/similar carb level as 4.5 ounces of corn sugar.
Since it ferments out quite a bit (80% or so), I'm not sure you'd get much flavor from it, though.
A) yes
b) 1.25-1.5 cups per 5 gallons
C) I think the best choice would be apple juice concentrate instead

Game - Holy Water
Artist: Game
Producer: Sap
Album: Jesus Piece
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 24 votes )
Kicked off with last week's Celebration (Remix), Game's Sunday Service series continues with a new single (and video) titled, appropriately enough, "Holy Water." OK, perhaps "appropriate" isn't the right word, as the joint finds Jayceon Taylor using that Jesus juice in a number of sacrilegious similes. Over Sap's minimal vox synth production, the West Coast mainstay boasts that his whip, his chick, his chain and his kicks (which are Christian Louboutins—get it?) are so immaculate that they might as well have been hosed down in the title substance. His high-rolling street lyricism comes laced with quotable lines; in regard to trying to "save" a stripper from the life she chose, he spits, "All I'm sayin' is a watch and a gold chain / can't make Bobby Valentino Johnny Coltrane." Fans can tune in for further entries in Game's series each Sunday leading up to December 11, when new album Jesus Piece is scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers via DGC/Interscope.

I stayed here for 4 night and 5 days. I wish to had food outside but every time I thought I will do it in the next meal. It's simply awesome. The treatment was overwhelming starting from receptionist to manager in charge. I would certainly give a 5 star rating for this.

DO NOT VISIT THIS HOTELPosted Dec 25, 2013
Pros: Nothing.
Stayed in this hotel for a one night. At the time of checkin I told at the reception that some my friends would join me later in the day and they said ok for this. Around 10 pm, my friend with his Fiancee (foreigner) came to visit me. They were not allowed inside by the reception. They said Indians and Whites together are not allowed into hotel. It was such an insult for them. They should have told me this at the time of checkin and I wouldn't have invited my friends' in the first place.

Not worth the price - overall experience is okPosted Dec 13, 2013
-ve : The rooms are very small and not worth the price. Bed occupies entire room and then there is no space for other stuffs. The bed spring used to make noise. Hot water flow was at low pressure and had to wait long. +ve : Hotel theme is good. Location is away from beach but its calm and good. Breakfast and dinner was very good except omelet in breakfast.

Home Theater PCs are the fastest-growing trend in home computing. Here's an in-depth look at enthusiast case maker NZXT's first HTPC case, the Duet. With its tasteful looks, clever design, and ample cooling, this case has serious potential.
With its combination of thoughtful design and pleasing aesthetics, NZXT's Duet sits comfortably in a category already populated by more established manufacturers like Antec and SilverStone. The Duet uses a unique internal layout to allow support of full-size ATX motherboards while remaining narrow enough to match the form factor of most stereo components. At just under $80 without a power supply, it costs about as much as the Antec Solo mid-tower. It's not an inexpensive case, but it's well within reach of more budget-conscious enthusiasts. In my opinion, this is a good thing. If you've already dropped all kinds of cash on your home theater equipment, why shove a cheap-looking case into your rack? When it comes to looks, the Duet really shines.
That aside, despite the healthy asking price for this case, some of its features simply felt cheap, such as the tear-off expansion slot covers and the included dual-80mm fans. Instead of including the 80mm fans with the case, I would much rather have seen dual 120mm fans pre-installed in the large vents at either end of the case. In addition, the idea of mounting hard drives over the case vents is just silly. I much prefer the solution we employed here, using converter rails to mount a drive in one of the 5.25†bays. The Duet is a nice case, though the devil seems to be in the details for NZXT. None of these things are real deal-breakers by themselves, but once they combine they are just enough to deprive this case of true high-end status.
Bad points aside, it took relatively little work to take advantage of the Duet's cooling potential, and the case performed quite respectably with our dual-120mm crossflow configuration. The included fans are adequate enough for the sort of hardware likely to be used in an HTPC, however. Despite the unorthodox internal layout, the case was unexpectedly easy to work on. I was impressed by the Duet's ability to contain a system that didn't even fit particularly comfortably in the larger SLK3700, thanks to a bit of creative cable management made possible by the roomy space behind the front bezel.
All in all, NZXT does not disappoint with the Duet, providing a fashionable case with a solid structure, good cooling, unique solutions to engineering challenges, and a classy external design. If the high prices of the Antec and Silverstone offerings scare you away, the NZXT Duet may be just the ticket for your home theater PC.

GSA plans to offer an 8(a) set-aside for a major infrastructure consolidation project
8(a) firms found opportunity after 2005 hurricanes
Vets battle for more contract wins
The General Services Administration is set to release a request for proposals that would give small businesses a big break. But some small-business owners say the offer to bid as the prime contractor on GSA's infrastructure support project is beyond their means.
Several 8(a) business officials said they read GSA's request for information and didn't seriously consider it because their companies do not have the resources to handle a job that big. They also faulted GSA officials and others who helped develop the proposal for not matching its size and scope to the capacity of small businesses.
GSA published an RFI to determine if small businesses listed on the governmentwide acquisition contract known as 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (STARS) could handle a task order for the information technology infrastructure project. STARS is a small-business set-aside contract for IT-related work.
In the RFI, GSA estimates the cost of the five-year project will be about $500 million. A centrally managed IT infrastructure would make GSA's operations more efficient by eliminating incompatible systems and improving reliability, agency officials say.
GSA Administrator Lurita Doan said the project is an enormous opportunity for small businesses.
"Rather than looking at it as something that is too big," she said, "the minority business community needs to say, 'Our time has come.'"
Responses to the RFI were due July 13. GSA received 94 responses from STARS businesses and five from Historically Underutilized Business Zone companies, which also received the RFI notice, said Michael Carleton, GSA's chief information officer.
The CIO's office has managed GSA's wide-area network and e-mail servers, but GSA's major operating divisions run their own IT services and support operations, according to the RFI. GSA's proposed infrastructure project would end that arrangement by creating a centrally managed infrastructure for IT services and support.
The RFI also states that GSA wants to transform other aspects of the agency, including its contract management activities and functional alignment. GSA provides IT services for about 16,500 agency associates and contractors worldwide.
The STARS contract exists to give small businesses more opportunities to sell their services. Some small-business owners listed as STARS contractors say they have worked out scenarios in which they could bid on the infrastructure project. But others say bidding on the proposal is out of the question.
Ravi Bhutani, president of Computer Integration and Programming Solutions, said the RFI is too big for his company. "I can play, but I can't play that big," he said.
Bhutani praised GSA officials for selecting STARS to give small businesses an opportunity to bid on the project. But he said he has to consider future reviews of his company's past performance in deciding whether to pursue the contract. Winning such a large contract might jeopardize his performance record, he said.
Other small-business officials suggested that GSA break the proposed task order into smaller pieces. Bruce Chang, director of Efficiency System Technology, said he believes 8(a) companies are qualified to do the job, but he thinks GSA should let small businesses join together to bid on the contract.
Breaking down such large contracts would be the best way to help small businesses, said Richard Rea, president of R. Rea Corp., an 8(a) high-tech services company. Rea said he responded to the RFI because he has the experience to do the work. When he is given a large contracting opportunity, Rea said, his strategy is to find a business partner — maybe another 8(a) company — and go after the contract.
Rea said small companies often can do a better job than the big companies because small businesses would pay closer attention to details. But GSA officials might not see the benefits of dividing large contracts, he said. Doing so might create more work for GSA because it would need to oversee more than one company.
Large companies are typically the prime contractors on GSA's nationwide procurements. They hire subcontractors — often small businesses — to handle the work in regional offices.
"The only difference is we're giving the minority business the opportunity to be that prime," Doan said.
