I Am Making A German Raspberry Wheat For My First Brew Outside Of My Mr Beer Kit. Damn Does The House Smell Great. I Sanatized The Heck Out Of Everything, And Boiled The Water Earlier Today For The Primary. I Almost Had A Boil Over Then It Went Away Quick. I Am Going To Check The Gravity And Temp In About 1.5 Hrs After The Wort Cools. Any Suggestions For A Green Pea Like Me????? Thanks Guys.
One of my brewing buddies recently made a raspberry ale that called for the addition of artifical raspberry flavoring. The beer came out pretty good, but the raspberry taste was, well... quite artificial.
A fool and his money are soon partying.
I Finally Got It Cooled Down Enough To Add To Primary, Checked The Og At 1.044 (1.046 Corrected For Temp) Which Is Perfect, Then Added Yeast To It, I Love Those Slap Packs. Its Going To Be My First Wheat Brew. Should I Add The Fruit Juice That Came With It (4 Oz ) Or Add Real Raspberries To The Secondary That Have Been Pastuerized?? Which Would Be Better From Your Experiences???
I would add 'em to the secondary. Then after it's in there for 2 or 2.5 weeks, rack to another carboy and let it sit for 4 or 5 days. It'll clear up nicely that way.
I had a slap pack going for three days without the pouch swelling. Pitched it in spite of it and did alright in the fermentator. Still not sure why that one didn't perform as advertised. I was set to back it with a dry yeast, but was unnecessary.
To pop the small package what i do it pinch it to one side and then put my palm on it and press down w/ all of my wieght. So far i've pop'd them all. Just some take a little more effort than others.
Primary: Local Honey Mead;
Secondary: Merlot;
Keg: "Experimental" American Ale; Kinda Nutty Brown Ale;
Bottled: "Oatie the Oatmeal Stout"; NB Saison; "666" by request; NB 115th Dream hopbursted;EdWort's Apfelwein
Up Coming: Imperial Oatmeal Stout; House IPA
I like White Labs better and can see the action in my starter. The inner pack was broken on the Wyeast. Why the envelope didn't expand still a mystery. But the good thing is that the yeast still worked in spite of it. I had thought the yeast dead.
John, Why Are You Shouting?
I just had a mishap the other night with a smack pack. My roommate smacked it so hard the whole package burst. Still turned out great, and our beer is bubbling like mad and made it almost to the blow-off tube.
He's not shouting unless all his letters are upper case, right?
I did notice that for some odd reason all his words start with a capital letter.

Attend the Capitol Conference: find out what you're missing.Exposition exposition or exhibition, term frequently applied to an organized public fair or display of industrial and artistic productions, designed usually to promote trade and to reflect cultural progress. that is held every year in June. I make an effort each year to attend this event because of the educational offerings, the products and services displayed at the tradeshow, and the networking events that allow me to meet other industry professionals. Until this past year, the Education Conference was the only NAA meeting I had ever attended.
That changed last spring. For those not familiar with NAA's Capitol Capitol, seat of the U.S. Congress
Capitol, seat of the U.S. government at Washington, D.C. It is the city's dominating monument, built on an elevated site that was chosen by George Washington in consultation with Major Pierre L'Enfant. Conference, NAA brings apartment professionals together in Washington, D.C., each March to meet face to face with their representatives in Congress. Last year, as President-Elect of the Alabama Apartment Association, I was encouraged to attend the Capitol Conference. I'll admit I was excited to go to D.C. and be a part of the NAA's legislative efforts. However, I was terrified ter·ri·fy

Contraction of did not.

When I arrived in D.C, I was pleased to learn that NAA conducts many events that are designed to educate its members on NAA's legislative efforts. I spent two days learning everything the NAA was trying to accomplish in Congress. On day three, it was time to visit the Hill and meet with my representatives in Congress.
Believe it or not, meeting with my representatives was easier than I anticipated because NAA provided talking points and printed materials to rely upon. By the end of the day, I had met with my senator and four congressmen from my state. It's hard for me to precisely explain or describe the feelings I had as I left the Hill that day, but I generally felt extremely satisfied. How many people in our country get the opportunity to lobby the U.S. Congress on behalf of their industry? I felt special. I felt important.
Before attending the Capitol Conference, I didn't think I was the type of person the NAA wanted to attend this event. Surely the NAA wanted someone more qualified, with more knowledge of the legislative issues. I couldn't have been more wrong. NAA and our industry need us all to attend the Capitol Conference. Our nation's leaders need to hear from us, their constituents. Our nation's leaders need to hear from apartment industry professionals.
I encourage each of you to attend the 2011 NAA Capitol Conference and I look forward to seeing you there.
NAA's Capitol Conference is March 13-16 in Washington, D.C. Mark your calendar now. Be part of the movement to encourage members of Congress to make multifamily housing apriority in 2011.

Via Skype, former inmate sues Valley Street jail guards
A Canadian deported from the United States after serving a prison term, he has been appearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court via the audio-video link Skype to sue three correction officers from the Valley Street Jail over his pre-trail confinement seven years ago.
After various rulings, the case has boiled down to three defendants — Vincent Williams, now a lieutenant at the jail; Todd Gordon, now a sergeant, and Nicholas Granville, who is now a Derry police officer.
At the time, he told the corrections officers he would sue them and started hitting himself in the head, said Sgt. Ryan Levierge.
Earlier Tuesday, Thompson's public defender testified that when he visited him in May, his client had bruises on his face and scratched eye glasses.
Gordon Fuller said toilet flushes would drown out much of the sound from the cells.
Three separate trials are being held involving the defendants. In May, a jury ruled in favor of the defendants over Juan Marquez. A trial is expected later this summer involving claims brought by Christopher Robinson.

Bahrain GP on track for contract extension
Five-year contract extension and new race date discussed. . . .
April 22, 2013 6:24 by Reuters
Formula One left Bahrain on Monday with commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone talking of a five-year extension to the race contract and the possibility of switching it to the start of the season next year.
"I feel they do a super job and we're more than happy to give them a new contract for five years. I don't see any problems," the 82-year-old billionaire said at the Sakhir circuit.
Bahrain is the most controversial race on the calendar due to concerns about alleged human rights abuses after a bloody crackdown on a 2011 anti-government uprising in the tiny Gulf kingdom.
The race was cancelled in 2011, but the last two have proceeded without incident. The current contract runs to 2016.
"We're committed to motorsports, and F1 especially," said Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed Alzayani after Sunday's race. "We were the first race in the Middle East and we call ourselves the home of motorsport in the Middle East.
"We truly believe that in every sense of the word, so we are here for the long term … maybe we can sign something this year.
"We had a race last year, and we had a race just finished, and we will have a race for the years to come," he added. "We are now developing the grassroots karting and an academy of open-wheel racing to look to the future."
Australia currently hosts the current season-opener with a highly popular race in Melbourne, while Bahrain is the fourth of 19 races this year.
It is no longer the sole race in the Middle East, with Abu Dhabi's day-to-night grand prix under the Yas Marina floodlights becoming a more popular and glamorous destination for many sponsors towards the end of the year.
Bahrain has twice before hosted the opening round and officials have made no secret of their desire to return to the coveted slot, with its higher profile for a worldwide television audience.
Ecclestone has been supportive of the idea, despite some tongue-in-cheek comments at the weekend suggesting that the Bahrain authorities had been "stupid in a lot of ways" to host the race because of the platform it gave to opponents.
"It's on the table," said Alzayani of the date change.
"For us, we're ready any day of the year, but we will have to see how it fits with logistics, other dates, other countries hosting and if there are conflicts with any other events they may have.
"We've had the first race before, and by July or August we will get a better picture as to where we will lie on next year's calendar."
Bahrain could be attractive logistically to teams because they would be able to test at the circuit in dry conditions before the start of the season and leave equipment in place.

Royal emerging as Broncos offensive centerpiece
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. With just a little room to run during red zone drills, Denver Broncos wide receiver Eddie Royal bolted past one defender and used a nifty move to slip by another. An instant later, he was in the clear in the end zone where quarterback Kyle Orton hit him with a 10-yard dart.
That scene from Wednesday has become a familiar one during the Broncos training camp, where the second-year wide receiver is being groomed as an offensive centerpiece after a breakout rookie campaign a year ago.
"He sticks out every day," Denver coach Josh McDaniels said. "Eddie is a very talented player, a lot of ability, very smart, versatile. We move him all over the field. He's very unselfish, wants to do what's best for the team. He's accepted his role and he's doing a great job with it so far."
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Royal provided a vivid demonstration of his capabilities last season. He set team rookie records for with 91 receptions, 980 yards receiving, and five touchdown catches. He also became the first player since the 1970 NFL merger to post his team's longest run (71 yards), reception (93 yards), kickoff return (95 yards), and punt return (36 yards) in the same season.
Royal finished with four games in which he had nine or more receptions, including a club rookie record 11 catches in a season-ending loss to the San Diego Chargers.
For his part, Royal is less impressed by those numbers than the opportunity to build on them, by improving his play as an individual and contributing to any overall improvement as an offense.
"I'm just coming out here and trying to get better every day," said Royal, who broke into the league as a second-round pick out of Virginia Tech. "It's not about individual stats at all. It's about winning. We want to win and we want to get to the playoffs."
The Broncos haven't done that for three consecutive seasons. The drought fueled a tumultuous offseason that included the firing of two-time Super Bowl winning coach Mike Shanahan and the trading away of Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler after he clashed with McDaniels, the former New England offensive coordinator brought in to replace Shanahan.
While the new Broncos coach hasn't been shy about making personnel changes on both sides of the ball, Royal is one holdover whom McDaniels has wholeheartedly embraced.
McDaniels has cited Royal's impact as a return man on top of his eagerness to learn the new offensive system that the coach brought with him from New England and his determination to build chemistry with Orton and backup Chris Simms. Both quarterbacks are in their first season in Denver.
"Learning the new terminology, learning where to line up, the different motions, it's tough, but at the same time, it's fun and it's challenging," Royal said. "You've got to come out here and challenge yourself, not only physically but mentally. We're working at that every day. Coach is putting challenges in front of us and we're trying to meet them together."

Yamaha's XVS1300 Custom off-the-peg chopper is a rebadged Yamaha Stryker, originally released in the US in 2011. It mixes 'American Chopper' styling with bomb-proof Yamaha build quality. Badge snobs might sneer at its lack of 'Harleyness' but it's a capable machine and superb value for money.

One-Third of U.S. Wages Come From Welfare HandoutsSubmitted by SteveMT on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 19:43
Reality check.
Welfare State: Handouts Make Up One-Third of U.S. Wages
Published: Tuesday, 8 Mar 2011 | 3:59 PM ET
By: John Melloy
Government payouts—including Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance—make up more than a third of total wages and salaries of the U.S. population, a record figure that will only increase if action isn't taken before the majority of Baby Boomers enter retirement.
Even as the economy has recovered, social welfare benefits make up 35 percent of wages and salaries this year, up from 21 percent in 2000 and 10 percent in 1960, according to TrimTabs Investment Research using Bureau of Economic Analysis data.

bumping to have time . . .
to look at this later; must get back to work!
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Wages must be paid in FRNS
So Wages are 100% Monopolistic or Welfarist.
Does your thinking include all Gov't contracts, all organizations that must move through political / regulatory menutia, does it include Licensure and Direct/Indirect Taxation.
No one works in a free-market -- so we must work in a welfarist market.
There are no markets freer then the next -- it's all Gov't Handled.
Then it all makes sense...
politicians including presidents are elected with approx. 22% to 26% of the the total vote !
Slick plan huh ?

Complaining about social
Complaining about social security and unemployment welfare is like whining about the stale bread on a sh*t sandwich. Yes, stale bread is not that great, but it's the sh*t filling that really rankles. Instead of begrudging the jobless and elderly their meager pittance, let's focus our ire on the truly despicable thieves at the top of this ponzi scheme. The idea that a third of wages are welfare payments is ludicrous, when one considers that ours is a command economy where powerful interests structure the very laws of the land to line their pockets. The real percentage of people on the dole is probably in the high 90's. Insurance salesmen are welfare queens so long as we are forced to by their worthless product. Banksters are certainly welfare queens as are oil tycoons and airplane manufacturers. Think about it. Most of these trifling social security and unemployment payments go right back into the tax farming system via mortgage and insurance checks.
linux forever!
On Point Mr. Gates
Love the s##t sandwich analogy.
This is the Government blow off top.
You can chart the growth of many things. Stocks, commodities and even Government. They run up and during the end go through a blow off top. This is it. This is the crack up boom. By Halloween we will have lived through history. The banking system will have blown up and the UnFed note will be history. This is going to be terrific.
many of us see this coming
But few put a time frame on it. I hope you are right about the time frame Bezerker, and it will be terrific
March 28th could be the match
Look for systematic failure in the Comex metals on March 28. If you see Silver shooting up uncontrollably (massive rise quick) then max out your credit cards on food, water, and Toilet paper. Buck up folks it is coming and by Halloween we will be starting the Renaissance 2.0 Republic our founders would be proud of. Love your brother and sisters !!!!!!!!!!

The gov't is supposed to defend life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. It does this no longer. Why pay them a damn dime? I don't believe in any socialist programs, but as long as they are going to make me a criminal...I'll take that unemployment as long as I can!
And of the 2/3rds remaining, over 1/2 work for government!
If you put it in that perspective, look at just how few people there are left in the private sector, to support the system! Scary! Government workers don't create tangible products that generate wealth based on consumer demand...and since many of our jobs that do have fled the country for lower tax and payroll costs, what will be left eventually as the system becomes larger and larger? We have a huge number of people who are baby boomers who will be retiring in the next 20 years...what then?
I'm moving to Iceland...at least they have stood up to these paper power pushers! They are now on the rebound!

"Paper Power Pushers!" Monumental expression.
Alas, Banks reopened... under new management.
VISA, MasterCard... System remains intact. They repudiated debt based on nothing. It was nothing.
Life need not be complicated.
Iceland is well named. Bring jacket, boots, & gloves. The cold is really something.

Here's a Mark Twain quote you must be familiar with...
The mind exercises a powerful influence over the body. From the beginning of time, the sorcerer, the interpreter of dreams, the fortune-teller, the charlatan, the quack, the wild medicine-man, the educated physician, the mesmerist, and the hypnotist have made use of the client's imagination to help them in their work. They have all recognized the potency and availability of that force. Mark Twain
Now when you gonna be yourself?
"Liberty tastes sweetest to those who fight for it, and most bitter to those who work to deny it!"
May the force be with you.

A heavy woman I know
Her doctor suggested to her that she go on SS disability. The doctor said she would qualify because of her weight.
She declined and is still working, and trying to lose weight, but found the doctors remarks very disturbing. If you are really obese, you can collect SS, and if you lose weight you lose your welfare income.
This is not a good situation.
no FN Way!
talk about a seriously SERIOUSLY flawed policy...on so many levels. OMG.
nowadays people eat their way
nowadays people eat their way to welfare and a handicap sticker. I think it's disgusting.
How could anybody think that
How could anybody think that this bloated government will continue functioning much longer?
Isn't it obvious that it's on its way to complete bankruptcy/currency destruction?
The title uses the word "handout", but how is Social Security, Medicare and unemployment a handout. I don't know about anyone else, but I have money for all three taken out of my paycheck year in and year out. A handout, welfare, is when money is taken from one person by the government and given to another if I pay into a program and then collect from it how is this a handout? Its like having insurance that you pay for and then thinking that getting money from a claim on that insurance as a handout from the insurance company. Bogus!!!
That being said the way these social programs are designed they will not last and when we truly do handout billions to the banks we make the situation even worse.
Big business AND Big government are one in the same.
Well, to be fair, Medicare
Well, to be fair, Medicare is a bit of a handout.
Social Security costs are fairly easy to predict; payouts are based on the money you put into it + inflation + growth of assets (although the latter is hardly paid out anymore).
Medicare, however, is based on medical need; they don't say "well, you've reach 100% of your contribution; no more coverage fro you". Nobody could have predicted medical costs soaring this much; medicare didn't budget for this much (even though it did collect quite a lot).
If you turned 65 in the 90s, then you are probably going to be "budget neutral". But people who retired afterward, especially those who are 10-20 years away from retirement, are going to be a drain on the budget. And not simply because of inflation, but because people are very unhealty nowadays.
Plan for eliminating the national debt in 10-20 years:
Overview: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/my-plan-for-reducin...
Specific cuts; defense spending: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/more-detailed-look-a
I agree with you
When you pay for these for over 30 years there is a duty for you to be paid, and it is an implied contract. I believe the way unemployment has been handled the last few years has been abused, but when you pay into Social Security and Medicare for years, you are owed payments.
The people who have been on unemployment for years are not entitled to the extended benefits, that is going into welfare. The unemployment they paid for was just for a few months of payments, not years.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but
Social Security and Medicare are exactly that --welfare programs. It is NOT insurance of any kind. You do not have a policy (contract to receive benefits in exchange for premiums). And the money you pay is not held in TRUST for YOU either--it is merely a TAX that you pay. These taxes paid go into the general revenue fund at the U.S. Treasury, then immediately go out in the form of checks to current Social Security "welfare" recipients. It can also be compared to a pyramid scheme. Social Security has now turned "cash negative", meaning it is now receiving less than it pays out.
The politicians will soon be forced to admit that this is nothing more than a failed welfare scheme. Everything will be done to save it --tax increases, income cap removed, retirement age raised, and means testing (so only the poorest will receive benefits). Also, depreciation of the dollar will undermine the purchasing power of the benefits.
If you are under 50, don't expect to get your money back from Social "Security". Find another way to support yourself in retirement.

I FULLY agree that the SS and
I FULLY agree that the SS and Medicare system are not sustainable. The combination of rising medical costs and many more people living longer combined with less new workers paying into the system in is bound to fail as described by many people in detail.
Why is it that people post about SS and Medicare as evil welfare programs that takes one person's money and gives it to another and yet those same people don't see insurance programs the same way. Auto, life, medical, homeowners, etc. all take your money and then if you file a claim they don't just give you your money back to pay for it that take other people's money as well!! How dare they. Now you might say well people shouldn't be forced to buy anything be it SS, Medicare, auto insurance, etc. OK, but now we are getting to a real debate here, we all live in society, like it or not we are all born into it. You can hate it, love it, do nothing about it or fight with all you have to change it or end it, BUT you are a fool if you think you are going to just ignore it. People do foolish things like thinking they can just ignore society and its rules and sooner or later they pay the price. So, we have a society and this society is founded on an idea known as social contract(see John Locke) and that means you have a contract with society like it or not. Now the debate comes into what does that contract entail, what rights do you agree to be limited in exchange for taking part in society, you know all the great stuff like roads, and candy and rock music, etc.
Social security is not insurance
In no way is social security insurance. It's simply a government handout that can change at the government's whim.
At its core, insurance is when you agree to pay a certain amount of money for money in the future.
That's not social security. Social security is where the government takes your money to give to someone else, at a rate determined by the government, and the government is under no obligation to give you anything.
Sometimes I think that Plato was right that elites should rule
You can't choose to opt into the insurance policy known as SS because its part of the social contract. Again, read John Locke, his writings were part of the ideas the founders used into starting this country. If you don't agree with SS that is fine, work to change it, but unless we can start homesteading on far off planet we are stuck with this society.
Society is insurance. If you lived in the state of nature and you knew for sure that you would do just fine then who would buy into society no one, but the state of nature is rather risky, someone might attack you or take the results of your labor and so maybe its worth having society as an insurance policy against such risk, you might never need to make a claim, but its worth the risk.
I am guessing you have insurance of some kind, you agree to pay up front and over time for the protection that if something happens that is uncommon then you can SUBMIT to the insurance company to cover the costs. If you knew you could always cover all your costs in life then it would be silly to get insurance. Also, the insurance company doesn't have to pay, claims get denied all the time and yet people have no problem with this. Their is always risk and faith involved in decisions. After hurricane Katrina millions of people filed insurance claims and many were denied either because the companies flat out denied them or the companies went bankrupt due to all the claims filed. Thats what is happening now with SS, to many people are filing claims for SS checks for too many years so the program is going bankrupt. Its funny though because the government bailed out AIG, but it won't bail out SS, not that I think it should, but clearly certain people gain from AIG being bailed out while other do from SS being bailed out is my point.
The social contract is to protect our rights
I don't know if I necessarily buy into social contract theory, but for the sake of argument assume that I do.
The idea is that we all agree to give up some of our rights to protect other rights. Social Security is not in the business of protecting our rights, not in the sense that the police protect us from harm from other individuals, the military and militia protect us from foreign invasion, and the courts protect us from the state.
What is social security protecting us from? Being poor? But did we ever have the right not to be poor to begin with?
Now I agree, we need to choose our battles and dismantling social security shouldn't be close to the top of our list. Much bigger fish to fry. But I dont' accept that Social Security is inextricably a piece of the American social contract.
I am with that it is worth
I am with that it is worth considering what is more and less important and to order that which is most pressing.
You don't have to agree with the social contract in the least, but that doesn't meant you or I or anyone else can expect to ignore the rules that come out of such a contract. We can try, I could not pay my taxes, etc., but we are certainly taking a great risk, that is unless we can get people to act in the same manner and thus change the rules.
Anyway, the idea of the social contract is all about justice. In nature their is no justice. No other creatures come up is elaborate rules about what is just and unjust. Its one of the things that biologists say makes humans different.
So society has laws that reflect its ideas on justice, such that one can own private property and is justified in protecting it. These laws are not natural laws, like gravity, but creations of our human minds, that is why others animals have no choice but to act in accordance with the laws of gravity or thermodynamics, but laws governing what is just and unjust has no control over them.
So...as you stated the with social contract we believe it is just to give our absolute right to act as we please in exchange for a human system that protects us. Currently we agree that we give up our right to be a slave, to work under a certain age, to work in certain conditions, etc.
Is it just that that state, the agent of society acts to restrict our free choices in this manner? Shouldn't we be able to be slaves if we choose? To work in a factory at the age of five? To work in conditions that are toxic to our minds and bodies?
Such is the same with SS or Medicare, should we be able to choose to pay into a retirement fund and medical fund or is it just that the state doesn't allow us to make that choose?
Other nations/societies have decided such a restriction is justified, such as France. This is independent of it such a program will work or not. The American society needs to BOTH decide if such a restriction of liberty is just AND how to have a program, if we decide on a program, that works.

Victim of Mormon polygamist keeps faith intact
No fiction writer, not even one as darkly imaginative as Stephen King, could create a villain creepier than Warren Jeffs.
The 57-year-old convicted rapist is the feature miscreant in Rebecca Musser's engrossing memoir of life in a closed society of polygamist Mormons.
The 19th Wife Who Brought
Polygamous Cult
Leaders to Justice
By Rebecca Musser with M. Bridget Cook
Grand Central,
340 pages, $29
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) members, living mainly on a patch of desert straddling the Utah-Arizona border, observe every pronouncement he sends to them from inside a Texas penitentiary where he is serving a life sentence.
FLDS members cling to the doctrine of "plural" or "celestial" marriage, a principle discarded by the mainstream Mormon church in 1890. They believe a righteous man can secure a place in the highest level of heaven by taking three or more wives.
In clear, crisp prose, Musser and co-author Bridget Cook take us on a journey from growing up in a household with more than 20 other children and more than one mom, to being a teenage bride for an 85-year-old man, to escape and a life of advocacy for the oppressed and enslaved.
This insider's account includes truly shocking details on how the sect robs girls of their freedom and dignity.
Perhaps the most disturbing content is a partial transcript of an audio recording of Jeffs having sex with a 12-year-old wife while other wives watched. In comparison, the renegade sect leader Roman Grant in the HBO series Big Love was a choir boy.
But Musser and Cook aim for inspiration rather than sensationalism, with themes of faith and empowerment.
Musser was born Rebecca Wall, the fifth of 14 children from her father's second wife. Her father eventually had three wives and 24 children.
Shortly after her 19th birthday in 1995, Musser became the 19th wife of Rulon Jeffs, who was president of the FLDS and Warren's father.
They lived in the Jeffs family's sprawling compound in Hildale, Utah, and Rulon added many more young wives before his death at age 92 in September 2002.
Warren repeatedly admonished Musser that it was her religious duty to obey and please the old church leader in every way, including sexually.
Two months after Rulon's death, Warren as the new FLDS president told Musser she must remarry.
He said her new husband could be him, and the possibility wasn't far-fetched since he had already married some of his father's other young widows.
In response, she quickly planned and executed an escape from Hildale.
She and a young FLDS man named Ben Musser fled to Oregon and married.
They're now divorced but both live in Idaho, where they are parents to a son and daughter.
She has testified against Jeffs and other FLDS men to help bring them to justice for their crimes against girls as young as 12.
She wore red each time she testified against Jeffs because he had banned FLDS members from wearing the colour.
As founder of a non-profit foundation called Claim Red, she is now a voice for victims of human trafficking.
A younger sister, Elissa Wall, co-authored the 2008 book Stolen Innocence about her own experiences in and escape from the FLDS.
Atheists hoping The Witness Wore Red slams faith will be disappointed. Musser rejects leadership by one man, but not religion and spirituality.
It's also notable that the word "cult" appears in the subtitle but nowhere in the memoir itself, as Musser remains respectful and sympathetic toward the community she left -- even though much of that community despises her as a traitor.

Man on the Power throne; Paddy Power are out to revolutionise Irish bookmaking by beaming pictures into their shops. Michael Clower meets the man at the forefront of the industry.
Few things escape the attention of the Republic's rumour-filled betting scene, but hardly anybody had an inkling that this deal was in the offing.
Kenny, 46, relates: "The Irish Horseracing Authority has been talking for years about putting Irish racing into the high street, but nothing was done and it was less than four weeks ago that we approached the Association of Irish Racecourses.
"We had all the technical data ready, we put the money down on the counter and said we wanted a deal in time for Listowel on Monday."
He got it-after agreeing to pay the racecourses IRpounds 1 million a year plus costs of IRpounds 600,000-but there has been an outcry from his rivals both off-course and on it.
The shops can see themselves losing customers hand over fist to a firm that offers a service they can't, while the on-course layers have nightmares of punters forsaking the racecourse for the Power shops.
"I am not surprised at the opposition. People fear change and there are always objections to it," comments Kenny almost gleefully, as if he enjoys having his firm's name made mud within the industry.
"In fact, we hope that many of the other shops will take the service. If so, our outlay will be reduced and the cost per shop will be dramatically cheaper.
"If we are landed with the whole bill we might struggle to recoup our costs from the extra turnover, but the loss-leader accusations are complete and utter garbage."
Kenny's grounding in the business followed a circuitous route. He ran a book at school at Glenstal and spent most of his time at University College Dublin as racing correspondent for its magazine.
He then had 18 months with Ladbrokes in London -"I learnt why some bets are unprofitable and also about the basis for odds. Many bookmakers have never been grounded in this and it's where a lot of them eventually go wrong."
After working briefly for Mecca and with a bookie in Dublin, he leased two shops-one in the capital and the other in the quiet market town of Athy. It was managed by a shrewd lady called Mrs Flood.
"A month after I started, she rang me and said a knowledgeable punter had just walked in and placed an IRpounds 100 bet. I was to lay it off.
"I ignored her advice. I was an arrogant little pup and I thought I knew it all. Then somebody came into my Dublin shop and backed the same horse. It was a 10-1 shot and, when I started trying to lay off some of the money, nobody would take the bet. The horse was Gay Future."
Kenny is a small cheerful man with large ears and a shiny dome-shaped head, much of it bald. He has a close-shaved beard, part of it going grey, and he is as sharp as the razor that trims it.
HE formed a successful partnership with Vincent O'Reilly and, when Corals burst onto the Irish scene 12 years ago, they sold their ten shops to the British firm for IRpounds 3 million.
The Paddy Power firm grew from a partnership that includes John Corcoran and David Power, the pipe-smoking on-course bookmaker. It has gone for market share and expanded by setting up large shops in most Irish towns of any size. What the opposition regard as gimmicks have also played a big part.
"What originally made me as a bookmaker was my offer to give all punters their money back if Red Rum won the Grand National. I had queues all the way up the pavement immediately after the race. Everybody thought they should get in quick before I ran out of money. But I ended up with hundreds of happy customers.
"Later I made similar offers on behalf of Paddy Power with Danoli and Desert Orchid although, fortunately, I never had to pay out on either."
Some of the firm's advertising campaigns have been too much for conservative Irish society. The poster of the Pope joining Glasgow Rangers brought torrents of abuse, as did a more recent one concerning the Irish Army.
Legions of solders took legal action against the army, claiming the noise of rifle shots had made them partially deaf.
Kenny opened a book on what the soldiers would think of next. Sueing for impaired vision due to the glare of shiny boots and fatigue from getting up early in the morning were two of the shorter-priced options.
"It went down like a lead balloon with our army customers. I ended up having to apologise and give IRpounds 1,000 to the Army Benevolent Fund."
But similar ploys will be thought up to boost the drive for expansion.
"What we are trying to do is give Irish punters so much value that they will automatically look for a Paddy Power shop rather than any of the others."
KENNY intends starting a tax-free telephone betting business in the Isle Of Man next year. There is widespread concern that this will put many Irish shops out of business as punters betting in amounts of Irpounds 50 or more will find it much more economical to bet tax-free on a freephone.
"Our original plan was not to take bets from Ireland but now that Irish customers are being targeted-William Hill had an ad in last Saturday's Irish Independent-we will target them too.
"You can't blame the customer or Hills. But I do blame the Government which has done nothing to protect Irish bookmakers and the jobs they provide."
"THEY are run by accountants who operate by cutting expenses. They also take the view that, if the UK is divided up into five areas, for example, Ireland is simply area number six.
"They see no sense in some of our ideas and as a result our market share has risen from 16 per cent in 1992 to 27 per cent, whereas that of Ladbrokes and Corals combined has fallen from 23 to 19 per cent."
"WE have shops at Punchestown and Cork, and we will have another at Naas, but we are unlikely to have many more. They are a good marketing tool, but from a profit point of view they are a disaster. We have to pay five or six per cent of turnover to the racecourse in rent."
"WE collect the whole 10 per cent and pass it on to the Government. Bookmakers in Britain charge the punter nine per cent. They pay 6.75 per cent in tax and about 1.5 per cent in Levy. Whatever way you look at it they have 0.75 per cent for themselves. If we had this, we would increase our profits by IRpounds 1 million a year."
"THE business about there being more non-triers in Ireland is a myth. The truth is that Irish racing is as straight as English racing, although no straighter. The IHA's plans for the Tote are ill-researched. The Irish Tote suffers in exactly the same way as the Irish lottery in that there is not a big enough population to get good pools."
"ANTE-POST betting is a shop window. It is also the spoofer's art of bookmaking with noughts added on all over the place."
"MY major criticism of it is that it promotes illegal betting in pubs, whereas it was set up to promote legitimate betting."
"WE would be into spread betting faster than most of the horses running today if it was practical.
"But the high tax-rate in Ireland makes it impossible and losing bets cannot be recovered at law in this country."

PETALUMA, Calif. (AP) - A congressman says federal officials have launched a criminal probe of a Northern California slaughterhouse that recently recalled more than 8.7 million pounds of beef.
U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman told the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa on Monday he learned about the U.S. Attorney's Office's investigation of Petaluma-based Rancho Feeding Corp. during a telephone call with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Congressman Mike Thompson.
Huffman said investigators could not provide details, but he was told the suspected misconduct was grave.
The Rancho beef recall began Jan. 13 and was expanded in February. The USDA has said Rancho processed diseased and unhealthy animals and circumvented federal inspection rules.
Robert Singleton, a partner in Rancho, has denied the allegations. He told the Press Democrat he was unaware of a criminal investigation

Lift Every Voice: Listen to Women Veterans
During last week's Veteran's Day inspired concerts and tributes to veterans, a Hill-gathering of Disruptive Women (and our man of the month, Rep. Tim Walz, MN) spoke truth with power. Gathered to discuss challenges faced by women veterans, the group included veterans, members of Congress and their spouses, congressional staff, state leaders, and filmmakers. The group had had enough of platitudes and promises. We were ready for disruption, and Rep. Walz delivered just that, saying he was done with "incremental change" (Washington's latest, favorite buzz-word) and prepared to lead "seismic change."
Walz speaks from a place of experience, knowledge, and passion: He is a retired soldier, and the highest rank ranking enlisted man to serve in Congress. During a 24 year stint in the Army National Guard, including a tour of duty in Operation Enduring Freedom, he also taught high school. The latter tour provided him some insight into chaos and disruption. In the 113th Congress, he will serve in leadership roles that include the National Guard and Reserves Caucus, and the Congressional Veterans Jobs.
In his remarks, Walz noted that "it doesn't take much to offer health care that people can't access." He added that although the VA has made some progress since the days when "the best thing the VA could say for what it had done for women was that the exam tables no longer that face the door." Later, he added that the VA system—staffed by dedicated people—still has far to go to really offer care for all, noting that, "it is much easier to put up a yellow ribbon then it is to step up care."

Mid-American States
Growth Slows for Mid-America for October:
Downturn in Hiring and Export Orders
YouTube interview with Professor Goss can be seen here.
October survey results at a glance:
- Leading economic indicator was down for the month.
- New export orders decline for the month.
- Businesses cut employment for October.
- Average wage gain of 1.6 percent expected for next year.
- Wholesale pressures remain modest for the last several months.
For Immediate Release: November 3, 2014
OMAHA, Neb. – The Mid-America Business Conditions Index for October, a leading economic indicator for a nine-state region, stretching from North Dakota to Arkansas, slumped from September's solid reading. Indices over the past several months are pointing to positive, but slower, economic gains over the next three to six months for the region.
Overall index: The Business Conditions Index, which ranges between 0 and 100, fell to 51.8 from September's 54.3. After rising to its highest level in more than three years in June, the overall reading has hovered in a range pointing to positive, but slower, growth for the overall regional economy over the next three to six months.
"Sharp declines in grain and crude petroleum prices drove the overall index down for the month. Even with the pullback, economic growth is expected to be positive, but somewhat slower in the next several months. October weakness in rural areas of the region offset stronger conditions in urban areas of the nine-states," said Ernie Goss, Ph.D., director of Creighton University's Economic Forecasting Group and the Jack A. MacAllister Chair in Regional Economics in the Heider College of Business.
Employment: For the second time in the past three months, the employment index moved below the growth neutral threshold of 50.0. The job gauge fell to 43.1 from September's much stronger 53.5 and August's 48.7. "Businesses tied to agriculture and energy are experiencing weaker economic conditions. At the same time, businesses seeking to hire skilled workers are reporting a lack of qualified applicants," said Goss.
"There is currently a record number of workers employed in the region. Even so, employers in the region continue to expand output primarily by increasing hours worked of current workers and adding temporary workers," said Goss. "I think the October decline is temporary with hiring likely to remain on a positive pace."
This month supply managers were asked how much they expect wages and salaries for workers in their firm to grow in the next year. On average, growth of 1.6 percent is expected, which is less than the growth estimate in March 2014 of 1.8 percent.
Wholesale Prices: After three straight monthly declines, the prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, rose for the month. The wholesale inflation index advanced to 60.6 from September's 60.1. Even with the slight increase, inflationary pressures at the wholesale level remain moderate.
This month supply managers were also asked to estimate the price change for the next 12 months for raw materials and supplies purchased. On average an increase of 5.8 percent for the next 12 months is expected. This is up from the 4.8 percent estimated in March of this year.
Confidence: Looking ahead six months, economic optimism, as captured by the October business confidence index, climbed to 61.2 from 59.6 in September. "Despite weaker economic conditions in the regional energy and agriculture sectors, improvements in the national and regional job market supported supply managers' business outlook," said Goss.
Inventories: The inventory index, which tracks the level of raw materials and supplies, decreased to 51.4 from September's 52.0. "Supply managers expanded inventories for the month, but at slower pace than in September. This is yet another signal that supply managers remain reasonably upbeat about the economy as they increased inventories in anticipation of expanding sales for their companies in the months ahead," said Goss.
Trade: The new export orders index declined again to 48.8 from 53.2 in September. The import index for October increased to 52.9 from September's 52.8. "The significant increase in the value of the dollar this year has made U.S. goods less competitively priced abroad and increased the attractiveness of foreign goods sold in the U.S. Combined with slower global growth, I expect our export reading to soften even more in the months ahead," said Goss.
Delivery speed. The delivery lead time index decreased to 56.2 from 59.0 in September. "Business in the region continue to report supply bottlenecks in obtaining timely delivery of raw materials and supplies," said Goss.
Other components: Other components of the October Business Conditions Index were new orders at 53.6, up from 52.9 in September; production or sales rose to 55.0 from last month's 54.3.
The Creighton Economic Forecasting Group has conducted the monthly survey of supply managers in nine states since 1994 to produce leading economic indicators of the Mid-America economy. States included in the survey are Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
The forecasting group's overall index, referred to as the Business Conditions Index, ranges between 0 and 100. An index greater than 50 indicates an expansionary economy over the course of the next three to six months. The Business Conditions Index is a mathematical average of indices for new orders, production or sales, employment, inventories and delivery lead time. This is the same methodology used by the National Institute for Supply Management, formerly the Purchasing Management Association, since 1931.
Survey results for July will be released on the first business day of next month, December 1st.

That's really interesting. We do a lot of stuff in Unity, but it's not exactly an ideal development environment. An alternative that supports C# would be really welcome.

Well, the fly out is easier to use. And is was right there in the charm. Also for most users, their head explodes when seeing the professional control panel.
Wait. Both the Windows 7 and the Windows 8 wifi dialogs are windows that slide into view when you click the wifi icon on the task bar, and then show you the available networks. You never needed the control panel.

Those can be improvements to the fly out.
Indeed, but currently they are not, which is why I find it weird that people prefer the current flyout over the Windows 7 dialog.
Seeing how all these watches need a phone to actually do anything, I don't really see a need for any connectivity besides Bluetooth LE. Besides, that's probably how they'll manage to keep battery life to a maximum, if those "two days" rumors are true.

These watches are so stupid. No one needs a watch unless it's for fashion. (Who's going to have a smart watch and not a phone?)
The good thing about a rolex diamond encrusted watch is that it doesn't lose that much of it's value after 50 years and it still looks cool.
How cool is a 5 year old smart watch going to look? It's going to be a useless piece a trash that you'll throw away.
If you're going purely for fashion, [i]everything[/i] you wear will be outdated in five years time. As for outdated hardware: as if we're not already using phones for two years at most?
Personally I hated the wifi flyout. There was no way to re-scan for available networks, no way to connect to hidden networks, etc. In fact I'm kind of amazed that people prefer it.
There's a leader in smartwatches?

++ Well said BitFlipper. It is because we have so many non computer literate users still hanging around that we need visual cues that are more pronounced. Bas thinks a little color variations is enough and shading is too hard.
Since Windows 1.0, the only way to tell which window was active was because elements in the title bar had a different color. So yeah, apparently that has been enough for decades.
I see you chose not to go into any of my points regarding flat design. I'll take that as silent agreement.
1 hour ago, TexasToast wrote
Why do you like flat? How is flat better in seeing what tab is selected on IE or Outlook?
Why should it be better? Why can't it be as good?
But to answer your question: because it forces you to rely on clear coloring instead of allowing you to use vague cues like subtle shading.

"The Lord your God is in your midst—a Warrior bringing victory. He will create calm with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing." This promise from Zephaniah 3:17 is what inspired Compassion advocate and songwriter, Caitlin Jane, to pen the lyrics to "Sing Over Us" while in the Dominican Republic. After meeting her sponsor child, Wanda, for the first time, Caitlin began to see in a whole new light how God Almighty sings over His beloved, precious children. The song and brand new music video celebrate a journey of hope, dreams, and the unique relationship between sponsor and child, built through letters and prayers. Caitlin Jane is passionate about using music to share Compassion's ministry and travels to churches around the country doing just that. She will be leading worship at the upcoming Experience Compassion Conference in Pennsylvania on Saturday, September 6th. You can view the "Sing Over Us" music video and hear Caitlin share the story behind the song!
