Weh hey I got my pipeline started
I didn't brew my 2nd batch till I drank nearly all of 1st BUT I'm bottling my third batch, after 3 wks in primary, on Friday just when my 2nd batch is 3 weeks in bottles. and brewing next batch on Saturday. After that I'm going to partial mash or biab
Beer : 1 is good, 2 is better, 3 is enough but 4 isn't half enough dde1c
Good deal! I'm working on a pipeline myself. Just got my Amber Ale bottled, got an "American Light" in the primary. The worst part, no home brew ready to drink.
I'm worrying like CRAZY over here!
Hahaha, what do you have going in your pipeline?
My spoon is TOO big.
Now comes pipeline step 2. (didn't know there was a step 2 did you?)
emergency crap.
take $50-$60 to your LHBS or sit at the computer with your online supplier of choice.
pick up:
a backup hydrometer
a backup thermometer (even if you have a metal dial one)
a couple packs of wide use dry yeast
a pound of priming sugar
6oz of any bittering hop 8-11%
6oz of any noble hop 4-5%
a small bag of caps
2 3lb bags of DME, you're not buying a batch now. light or exra light works with everything, dark is nice to have on hand too, just close your eyes and grab.
this will fix 90% of problems that come along later, just rotate the stuff occasionally.
going to have my pipeline started this weekend. I have 10 gallons of Apflewein bottled and ready, I have my IPA dry hopping right now and bottling it this weekend. Then I have a 10 gallon batch planed for this weekend.
Yeast are violent and uncaring warriors.
Got 10 gallons of my MO SMaSH about to get kegged. My wee heavy and old ale are still in process. I have one partial keg of the first batch of the MO SMaSH on tap now as well as my dark cream ale along with my English Brown ale carbonating (the other keg of that kicked last night). The one open spot in the brew fridge is reserved for a keg of the fresh MO SMaSH. I have three other kegs in reserve right now. Plus I'm brewing next weekend (6 gallons to kegs). Not sure if that will be my caramel cream ale or mocha porter.
For ingredients I'd get at least a pound, or two, of hops, at least a packet or two of your more common yeast (what YOU like to use), 1-3# of DME for starters and enpugh grain(s) to make most of your batches. There's something comforting knowing that you have over 200# of base malt in inventory as well as enough other grains for most of your recipies.
I have been homebrewing for only about 6 months now and finally have a viable pipeline of brew coming along. Seems that in order to keep my pipeline full I have to have one beer in the fermenter at all times and bottle a 5 gal batch about once every 3 weeks.
Next up: American Pale Ale
Primary 1&2: American Brown Ale
Primary 3&4: Hopped up Belgian Tripel
Bottle Conditioning/drinking: Summer Kolsch, White Zombie (Amarillo IPA), English Pale Ale (ESB)
Thought I had a pipeline going until family party at Easter when my family drained my keg of Wit!
I'm still trying to get the pipeline rolling. My first beer was bust, but finally whittled it down, 2nd beer was awesome, but its almost gone. 3rd beer is in bottles (done at end of month) and 4th beer is in fermenter. Once I bottle the 4th batch, I'm going to start my fifth a week later.
I'm Moving January of next year, so I'm wondering when I should quit brewing. I might try to squeeze a couple of quick fermenting beers in towards the end of my time here.

iPod ads "focus on a very narrow market"
"However, the world's leading expert on the social impact of personal-stereo devices

<shrug> I like the ads. I'm not in apple's target early 20-something market (i'm 34), but the ads speak to me. (does that mean I'm having a midlife crisis 10 years early?! At least I didn't buy a Vette)
Anyway, I chuckled at this quote:
The Post points out: "Channel Surfing isn't available on Apple's music store, iTunes."
Jupiter analyst Michael Gartenberg said: "It's a little ironic that they chose to put that song in the commercial. There's probably someone in the publicity department who is a little red-faced."
So what? Maybe they were demonstrating that you can put *your* music on this device, not only iTunes music.

He is "... the world's leading expert on the social impact of personal-stereo devices…"
Beautiful! Ain't academia great?
This 42-year old geezer loves his iPod, and didn't really need to see an "advert" (or maybe "ad " as we say on this side of the pond) to know that it was what he wanted.
As far as ads and marketing go, look at the Honda Element. The target demo was 18 - 22. They are selling well to the 40+ demo. Go figure…

Age is relative. 30 is now the new 20. I see people who are 35 who act like high schoolers. I know high school kids who act like the parents of the 35 year olds. Be careful when going after a certain age market because everyone is different!
Posted by dj on February 25, 2004 at 11:32 AM (CST)
The iPod ads are correctly aimed at the highest spending age group for music (which may be narrow, but boy do they spend on music), and what's more is that to skew older WOULD ALIENATE them (aka. be uncool). It's easy for older and diverse car owners to accept that a youth obsessed campaign is not alienating them, so why should iPod users be any different? End of argument.
Posted by michael on February 25, 2004 at 11:38 AM (CST)
I remember the old ipod ad where is was some ugly dude in his mid to late 40's singing "talkin' 'bout my generation".
I loved that advertisement. Anyone have a mirror for it?
Posted by Unixmonkey on February 25, 2004 at 1:56 PM (CST)
If someone cannot infer from these youth-oriented commercials that the ipod would work just as well for "older folks listening to classical music and Frank Sinatra and such," then I think said person has more important things to worry about, namely their brain power.

Steve Jobs remains committed to the Macintosh as a "platform" as a opposed to a "product." "Think different" is not just a slogan, it's a philosophy. Hence, all Apple advertising, but especially expensive, mainstream media, ads are intended to be "institutional," like those ads for energy companies on PBS, as well as to sell a particular product.
From this pov, the Apple ads are serving the same purpose as RJR's notorious "Joe Camel" campaign. The average age of the actual customers may be much older than the demographic the ad is aimed at, but it is the youngest consumers that both marketers are seeking to get hooked early and deeply.
Where was the Macintosh computer first and most fimly entrenched? In schools, where kids who used them there, would often buy Macs for their homes if they could afford them. But as Windows improved, the cost of pc hardware continued to plummet, and most importantly new non-Mac electronics/computer hybrids like x-box and playstation became the prestige toys of choice for new generations of youth, the Mac became more marginalized than ever. While the i/eMacs may have stanched that bleeding to an extent, they were still unsuccessful in growing Apple's market share significantly.
Now the iPod has the opportunity to become today's kids' most cherished and desirable electronic product. It's a "gateway" purchase: even if it is too expensive for most kids or their parents, it has become the standard for the first thing a kid would buy if he/she could.
As these kids outgrow their first computers, perhaps PCs, the Macintosh is going to look a lot more inviting to those who have iPods. Even more than the iMac, the iPod is spreading the Apple gospel.
So I think that, assuming the tv ads skew young, they're brilliant. However, I suspect that they still appeal more to a 35 yo going on 15 than they do an actual teen.

Interesting post, but I'd would love to see some sales data on Mac vs. Windows versions of iPods. I'm guessing that it is in the range of 10 to 1 in favor of Windows, but that is just a SWAG. I seriously doubt that the iPod is gonna be the "gateway drug" that gets folks using Macs, sorry.
Posted by Pete LaV on February 26, 2004 at 11:15 AM (CST)
^ Before buying my iPod I would have never wanted anything made by Apple. But now I want an iBook aswell… :)
Anyway.. I think the adverts are pretty cool.. and I'm 15.

Commentary by Dalton Roberts
The closest you can come to immortality is to live on in 5,000 instrument-picking fingers and thumbs, not to mention the 1,000 brains that control those fingers and thumbs.
If Brian Blaylock's estimate of the number of guitar, banjo and mandolin students his father taught over the course of his life is accurate, and I would bet it is conservative, Clyde Blaylock is one of the most immortal men this community has ever known.
To look at him, you would not have dreamed the level of immortality he had achieved. He looked so unassuming: a burr haircut and two big smiling Buddha-like eyes grinning over a pair of overalls. You could drag him behind a pickup truck for miles and miles and dynamite his head, but you could not get rid of that smile.
I know. I met him coming out of Memorial Hospital after he'd had both legs amputated due to the ravages of diabetes. The two big eyes were still there grinning over the top of his bib overalls. His spirit was absolutely indomitable.
His most loyal student, and one who is himself building his own fame in the world of bluegrass, was his son, Brian. I once wrote a column on him for Chattanooga On the Move Magazine and said, "if he had eight arms he would be the world's best bluegrass band." Like Clyde he can play any string instrument equally well.
The first time I ever heard Clyde and his brother Ralph was at Choctaw Ridge one Sunday afternoon in the 1960s. Choctaw was a cinderblock building with a potbelly stove set way back off the road on Big Ridge. Later they played a Saturday night square dance on the parking lot of Merle Phipps' old drive-in on Hixson Pike. I could not believe we had such bluegrass excellence here in Chattanooga.
Clyde then opened Blaylock's Music Store on Hixson Pike and ran it the rest of his life with the help of his wife, Sue, and Brian -- what time Brian wasn't on the road with the Country Gentlemen or some other big-time bluegrass group. The only time Clyde's eyes twinkled a little brighter or he smiled a little broader was when Brian was picking.
One of the most popular musical shows in this area for a while was the "Saturday Night Pickings" at Blaylock's. I took Frances Pinion, the widow of bluegrass great "Boxcar" Pinion, one Saturday night, and the show mostly featured Clyde's students. Most of them looked at Clyde with something close to adoration. And they made good music. Clyde knew a teacher does not have a finished product until they can walk on a stage and play. Sue notes that on those Saturday nights "he was like a king on his throne."
Most winners in banjo contests play some famous bluegrass standard that travels 90 miles per hour. It really galled his brother Ralph when Clyde announced his final round song would be "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Finesse and mood suddenly became most important. He usually won.
Clyde had finesse. He could create moods. That's how a Hixson banjo teacher becomes immortal.
What I wouldn't give to see those big eyes peeping at me again over the bib of his overalls.

from the comments i'm reading...this isnt a buy and hold stock....it isn't a stockone bad pull back, and a mostly flat month of up-and-down, small fluctuations, and you'll never get back to where you bought in.this isnt meant to track a real estate recovery. or ride back up a beaten down section of the market. go take a bet on a mis-priced reit, like DDR URE is a hedge tool and (lotto ticket for retards)perhaps good for a short bet over earnings releases - but i'd get in and out... fast]if youre up, get out and walk with your money. if your down a little, take your loss... if youre getting killed, I supose, hold your lotto ticket...it'll prob hit 4-5 dollars.. dont confuse that for something it isn't.prob make some nice gains further, with earnings... but I'm not betting on it... one pull back and that's the forkgood luck to alljust my evening thoughts for what theyre worth.
I understand that Rl8211 can hug my nuts! Joe
Yeah, I don't agree with most of what you say, but this definitely isn't a long-term hold. Mostly because there's too much going on behind the scenes that is completely obscured to anyone who puts any money into this. SRS is definitely more decay prone. If URE is down in the dumps, shouldn't SRS be soaring? Both went south of positive territory in November and then reverted to a mirror image of each other since the first of the year, but on a downward slope.http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=1y&s=SRS&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=ure
wow, bitter and broke... sad. I made 2% today and I'm happy!
Oh and thanks for the math lesson..Tell you what .. MOST people understand you are a freaking blowhard short.. go put that in your pipe and smoke it you toolbag. Or maybe you had to sell your pipe? Cover now fruitbat!!
Hahahahaaaa...Ive held this for 3 months..I dont think you understand what a 30% gain is.. hahahaOr maybe you missed it... Thoose are my evening thoughts..
i'm hesitant in the end to buy and hold this etf for 5 years. i'm just looking for a 3-5 bagger.
listen. im not here to challenge what you're saying. i agree with the decay factor. however nonleveraged funds still have decay. 100 up 10% = 110110 down 10% = 99the market is about decay. however edc seems to be on a run, up from 30 to near 100. leverage is good as long as your on the right side. i'm not saying ure will hit 20.but i'll take 5-8 bucks. if leverage funds are so bad. the issue i have is.skf should not be a buy either. you should short skf, and uyg, both? think about it.
"however nonleveraged funds still have decay"exactly. 2x = more pronounced decay"leverage is good as long as your on the right side. "exactly. and wasnt trying to push my opinion on anyone - just didnt seem that most here were thinking about that. that it woul mean-revert. I wasn't sure most ppl here seemed to understand (per their comments) what the "good side of leverage" is with rgrd to URE. not saying everyone doesnt understand, but it seemed it was a worth-while comment to make - for those that might not...if youre aware already, go about your business... if youre not, do more research and understand what this product is.
I do not think we would come to you for advise!Joe

A group of teachers are demanding a judge re-instate portions of Gov. Scott Walker's contentious collective bargaining restrictions.
Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas last year found the restrictions as they apply to local public unions unconstitutional.
Last week Colas found the Wisconsin Labor Employment Relations Commission in contempt for continuing to prepare certification elections for hundreds of local unions next month despite his ruling.
Five teachers filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court demanding a judge order the commissioners to proceed with the elections. They argued Colas' ruling isn't binding statewide and they have a right to vote.
The 4th District Court of Appeals is reviewing the contempt finding. WERC attorney Peter Davis says if that court reverses the ruling the commission could hold the elections.

Sometimes getting to the salon for a parent is hard, but we all like to look our best, and when you are juggling a child and daily life, you don't really want to be sitting in the salon pulling your hair out because of the little one's getting bored do you? The Rokit Nails Kit may be the answer, salon quality nails that you can do yourself in the comfort of your own home. This set is exactly what it says on the tin, and being someone who cannot paint their nails to save their life… I have been very impressed with this nail set.

Included in the box you will find the Professional LED Curing Lamp, Rokit Lint Free Cleansing Pads, Nail File/Buffer & Cuticle Stick, Rokit Ready, Rokit Remove and Rokit 1 Step Pink Polish.

The Scholl Velvet Smooth Luxury Pedicure Set is another great way to help a loved one pamper themselves this Christmas. The set is packaged up inside a pearlescent beauty bag and contains all of the foot care essentials that will get your feet looking like a Million Dollars this festive season!
Inside the kit you will find:
The Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi – This is an electrical hard skin removal device that will leave your feet beautifully soft in minutes.
The Scholl Velvet Smooth Intense Serum – It has been designed to provide intense hydration for the feet. The Serum contains Hyaluronic Acid that actually penetrates into the skin, the acid has the ability to retain water which helps to improve the density and structure of the skin. The serum also contains Pentavitin which acts like a 'moisture magnet' creating a durable bond with the body's own Keratin in the uppermost layer of skin. This is so that the water molecules stored in the skin remain there!
The Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi retails at £40.00 exclusively from Boots.
Who doesn't love a massage? Especially with the harsh reality of Winter upon us, and staying in is a much more attractive idea than going out. The Scholl Muscle Therapy 2 in 1 Precision Massager has been created for that exact reason, and also helps aid muscle injuries and aching backs, legs and shoulders. This clever massager is hand held and comes with three interchangable heads that provide the user with a selection of different massage options.

The Infra-Red Node which acts fast to soothe aching muscles by using an adjustable heat sensor which varies between 35-70 °c , ideal after a long session at the gym or working in the garden.
The Scholl Muscle Therapy 2 in 1 Precision Massager retails at £39.99 but is currently on offer at Amazon at £32.57.
Shaving for women is one of those tasks that never seems to be done. You can shave and the very next day the first signs of re-growth is back and it's far from glamourous. I am one of those people who has fallen out of love with the traditional razor and I had high hopes that something new may come along, and it did in the form of the Braun Silk Epil 7 Bonus Edition Epilator. This rather swanky Epilator can be used in both the wet and the dry, so if you are a little nervous about the prospect of epilating for the very first time, don't be! Run yourself a nice hot bath, get in and relax. Then give the Braun Silk Epil 7 a whirl. It comes with a number of different attachment heads, including a shaver head and a smaller epilator head for those sensitive areas. This bonus edition even comes with the new facial cleansing brush, which means you can now look after your skin from head to toe.
The Braun Silk Epil 7 Bonus Edition Epilator retails at £159.99.
If epilating is just not for you then maybe you would be intrigued by the HoMedics Duo, I know I was. The HoMedics Duo isn't a razor, and it's not an epilator. It works by pulsing intense light (IPL) and used Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) to actually reduce the hair growth. You can use it practically all over, except for your face which you need a separate attachment for. I have just used the second treatment on my legs, and I have found the process simple and easy to use. I don't find it uncomfortable and I am looking forward to seeing the results. In the long run this could make a great alternative to shaving completely!
You can pick the HoMedics Duo up for £179.99.
Fancy rejuvenating your skin in time for Christmas? The HoMedics NEWA is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation system that actually removes up to 1/3 of wrinkles while lifting and tighting your skin! The treatment is safe, comfortable, pain free and non invasive! The system can be used on all skin types and promises to be a real treat! The NEWA retails at £199.99.
Following on with the pampering theme, how is your fine ladies hair tools looking these days? Could she do with an upgrade? The Diva Chromatix Intelligent Digital Styler has ceramic plates infused with Argan Oil and a top temperature of 220C, with an adjustable temperature dial allowing you to work between 120C upwards. They have a 10 – 30 second heat up time depending upon the temperature you are working with. They come in a rainbow of different colours and retail at £69.99.
Diva Chromatix DYNAMICA 3400PRO is lightweight but powerful and has been designed for expert results. It boasts ionic conditioning for faster drying, reduced static and frizz for healthy shiny looking hair. It features 4 heat settings and 2 different speeds. They come in a variety of bright appealing colours and don't cost the earth at £49.99.
Give the gift of the get up and go for 2015!
The New Year is creeping up and it won't be long before we are cursing all of that Turkey and delicious Chocolate that we just couldn't get enough of over the Festive Season… And reaching for our gym pass and trainers. We will be vowing to make this year, the year that we do lose a few lbs and get in shape! I know that for me I say this every year, and although I didn't start in January..

Anyone interested in a 2k game with options through SO? I have a Vassal board I would like to try out. I can't do a face-to-face game(unless its with a computer, as I have small children.
|By Lee Hanna (Lee) on Tuesday, April 03, 2007 - 11:45 am: Edit
I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I'm hoping to get into a CB game of F&E. I have a bit of experience.
|By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Tuesday, April 03, 2007 - 03:02 pm: Edit
Chris and Lee: It probably would be a good idea to at least list your time zone and when you might like to play. Vasal and CB have both some nice abilities with regard to flexibility but some people use a chat or voice program in congruence with CB to get a more F-t-F feel. It works real nicely but requires mostly simultaneous play.
Also are you looking for a smaller scenario like 2nd Kzinti-Fed War, Reptilicon, or something mid-range like 4 Powers War; or epic like the Full General War, Gale Force, or Cloud Burst?
|By Lee Hanna (Lee) on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 08:54 pm: Edit
Ah. I'm in Eastern Time, but I prefer to play by email.
Also, I could go for a small or mid-range game. An updated 2FZ War would be great, as would a sector of the GW.
|By Chris LaRusso (Soulcatcher) on Thursday, April 19, 2007 - 06:54 am: Edit
I am in EST (GMT-5). I am looking for a game which incorporates all of the current ruleset and would help me test out the vassal board.

Chris - I may be able to start a new game soon. A game I am in now just imploded, so my free time may allow it. I'll let you know in a couple of days.

Hi all,
Looking to get back in the swing of things. I'd prefer a ftf game, anywhere within 1 hour (or so) of Union, NJ. Otherwise, for online, obviously I'm in the Eastern TZ
for ftf, I can host; I've got the room.
Willing to pcik you up/meet you part way, or I can drive to you.

I live in Union NJ, a little more than 2 hours frmo you. I'm wondering since you make the drive to MD, would you mind the drive to Union?

Hi Russell,
64 Miles according to Mapquest (+/- based on you exact address)
Should be about 1 hour drive
|By Russell J. Manning (Rjmanning) on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 12:55 pm: Edit
yes but not right away. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding a job so I am working part time waiting tables. My biggest money days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. So I don't think I would be able to play on those days.
However, I am interviewing a lot and really looking. Hopefully, I will find something very soon and we can start a game.
|By Bill Stec (Billstec2) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 12:23 am: Edit
Joe Stevenson,
Right now, I'm involved in a game I'm hosting here. I have 2 guys who drive up from MD/VA to play (one lives in VA, he takes the subway to MD where the other guy picks him up and they drive up here). About 1.5 hours from the second guy's house to here.
We also have a game that we are playing in MD at the house of a guy who hosts the BattleGroup Baltimore gamers. We're playing the 4 Powers War there, and have maybe 2 or 3 monthly sessions to go before it's finished.
I don't think I can squeeze any more gaming sessions in right now. However, we desperately need a fourth player here as the guy who signed up to be the Klingons has not been able to make it for several months - this forces the one Coalition player to run both the Klingons and Lyrans and really slows the game down. If you have any interest in the game we're running (look in Reports from the Front, near the bottom, for a game entitled "A General War variant you all might like" for more details on the game). It's been at least one session a month, and frequently 2 sessions/month.
You'd be welcome to join us here if you can make it. We play on a Saturday, generally 11am or so until 10-11pm.
Thanks for your interest.
|By Joe Stevenson (Alligator) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 07:48 am: Edit
I can do once a month, but not two (too many other things going on, at least to be away); I have tickets to all the Mets Saturday home games, which eats up 2 Sat's per month
Given how badly that game seems to be going for the Coalition, I'll pass this time, but the next time you start a new game, drop me a line and let me know
|By Bill Stec (Billstec2) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 01:07 pm: Edit
Will do. Aside from the likely to succeed Hydran Expedition, I thought the Coalition was doing pretty decently. How often does the Kzin Homeworld fall on T3? Though I expected him to press harder on his Homeworld hex raid.
We'll play it for awhile and see how it goes, though I already think the unrestricted Coalition mauler production through the 10 initial turns of peace have distinctly unbalanced things. The extra Kzin CVs aren't compensating well enough, what with losing an escort every battle round in multiple battle hexes...
|By Joe Stevenson (Alligator) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 04:54 pm: Edit
What were the casualties for that T3 "win"? Also, losing the EB starbase so early is not so hot.
|By Bill Stec (Billstec2) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 09:07 pm: Edit
The Hydrans lost 3 tugs (1 scout pod, 1 battle pallet, 1 FSP), 4 DG, 1 RN, 2 NSC, 5 KN.
The Lyrans were rolling super hot on the Mauler rolls, and basically directed every round. After 11 rounds, only one of the 2 maulers shocked. They also had EW superiority for the battle most every round.
Lyrans lost 5 CW, 3 DW, 3 CL, 4 DD, 6 FF, DWS.
We figured it as about 100eps of SB and ships, versus over 150 eps worth of lost Hyran ships.
|By Joe Stevenson (Alligator) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 09:54 pm: Edit
So they lost 22 ships AND the SB vs. 15 Hydran ships, even while with an EW advantage
EPs is not a good way to determine victory.
|By Matt Leach (Maelin) on Thursday, June 14, 2007 - 04:11 pm: Edit
Hi all,
I'm looking for a ftf (only) game of F&E. I've only played solo (twice) and vanilla (although I have all the expansions). I would play other expansions though would anticipate getting a kicking!
I have a dedicated games room so the game could be left set up long term.
I'm in Harwich, Essex, UK so if there is anyone reasonably local that fancies a regular game then let me know
|By Paul Howard (Raven) on Saturday, June 16, 2007 - 09:08 am: Edit
Hi Matt
I am in Reading - about 130 miles - 2 1/2 hours away...
It's just about OK for a day, or alternatively two full days and a stay over?
I also have a Games room and a spare room aswell.
James lives in Birmingham (about the same distance to Reading) - and a local guy may be interested - could do a four player game?
Anyway, I should be up for either.
My e-mail address is PHowardUK at AOL.com
|By Matt Leach (Maelin) on Saturday, June 16, 2007 - 11:50 am: Edit
I'm up for that - I'll send you an email.
Thanks for the reply
|By Kenny Bruce (Lt_Bruce) on Thursday, June 28, 2007 - 06:56 pm: Edit
I am a new F&E player (I've played SFB much in the past) and I would like to play a short PBEM game, like Reptilicon or something, to figure out how the game system works before trying something longer.
I have a vague idea how cyberboard works so I'd probably prefer that... but whatever. I have 2k plus the FO, CO, AO, and PO rulebooks (just not strategic ops) so I could play with any amount of those but I'd probably do better with less. I'm unlikely to be able to do much in real time, as I'll be traveling some this month but I will have internet access everywhere. I am usually GMT -5.
anyone interested can email email@example.com

For those planning for the worst, it's always a tough call.
NEW YORK — The swine flu mantra is: "rapidly evolving situation." That's what public health officials are saying and it means that no one knows what's going to happen.
No one knows if it will be a gentle romp or a killer pandemic. You might as well consult a palm-reader. And that makes life neither easy nor enviable for those on the decision-making front lines.
If the experts are overly alarmist and close every public center and school, they'll wreak havoc on day-to-day life unnecessarily, spark panic, and lose all credibility when the next epidemic strikes. If they are overly lax, the flu could spread and possibly kill — and they'll lose all credibility when the next epidemic strikes.
"Our decision making is influenced by two things and that is 1918 and 1976 — 1918 is the worst case and 1976 is the worst overreaction," said Dr. Stephen F. Morse, professor of clinical epidemiology at Columbia University. He was referring first to the flu epidemic of 1918 that killed upwards of 40 million people worldwide. And secondly, he was talking about the swine flu epidemic of 1976 that some feared would be a repeat global killer prompting a mass vaccination. The epidemic never amounted to much and the vaccine was linked to several cases of Gillian-Barre syndrome, that causes temporary paralysis. Didn't help credibility.
This week, Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, declared swine flu a public health emergency. That allows funds to be released to support public health efforts. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control released about a quarter of its stockpile of anti-viral drugs, personal equipment and respiratory protective devices. Both Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir) kill the virus. Experts warn that overusing the drugs could trigger resistant strains.
On Monday, The World Health Organization raised the public health alert to level four of six levels. That means the flu is transmitted from person to person and can cause sustained "community-level outbreaks " with a possibility of a pandemic. Again, they cannot say for sure. A pandemic — which means its gone global not that it's a particularly virulent — is a level 5 alert and some say the WHO is on the verge of calling it a 5.
"It's all about wording so people will take precautions without feeling coerced," said Dr. Howard Markel, an expert on pandemics and professor of pediatrics and history of medicine at University of Michigan.
According to the latest WHO report, there have been 79 confirmed cases and seven deaths worldwide. While Mexican authorities said the strain killed 149 people, the WHO is still investigating those deaths. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported 64 confirmed cases in the U.S. with no deaths. There are reports but not confirmed cases in Spain, Costa Rica, and Israel.
While predictions are no more than guess work, experts do know a lot about the flu virus. For most people, the flu causes a high fever, muscle aches and extreme fatigue. The illness is bothersome but not dangerous. It can kill those who have weak immune system — every year the flu kills about 250,000 to half a million people worldwide.

No, you didn't miss the fly-in at Woolsey Airport. That event was postponed until tomorrow (Sunday) morning, when the weather is expected to be much kinder to pancakes and spectators of small planes. Breakfast service begins at 8 a.m. Come late, and you'll have to wait in line, but that's not so bad, because you'll be watching small planes coming in for a landing and listening to the band play.
It's been cool and rainy for a few days now, with an autumn feeling in the air, but, since I associate September with vacation, such weather has me sighing with happy anticipation. Also, I've been working on details for the Fall Festival planned for October 17 in Northport, the centerpiece of which will be—at least, as far as I'm concerned--a horse-drawn wagonette. (I believe that's what the vehicle is called: it holds 8-10 people, depending on their sizes.) To ride around the village at a slow clip-clop sounds like heaven to me, and I hope other people agree. We could have used a tractor, but what's a festival without horses? More details will be unfolded as we get them together. Maybe we can find something else for those tractors to do....
Thank you for making the decision to support the community of Northport, Michigan, by shopping at Dog Ears Books and other locally owned and staffed businesses and farms.

I'm thinking Torch Lake Township needs to have something with horses, too. Miss Sadie and the Cowboy are uncertain.

At last! I can finally show what I worked on at the beginning of the year.
I am very proud to have contributed to G R R Martin's new book, an illustrated encyclopaedia, The World of Ice and Fire, published by Barnes and Noble, it's hot off the press and available both online and bookshops.
Within days of his coronation, Aegon's armies were on the march again. The greater part of his host crossed the Blackwater Rush, making south for Storm's End under the command of Orys Baratheon. Queen Rhaenys accompanied him, astride Meraxes of the golden eyes and silver scales. The Targaryen fleet, under Daemon Velaryon, left Blackwater Bay and turned north, for Gulltown and the Vale. With them went Queen Visenya and Vhagar.
Happy Birthday !
All the best and have a nice day !
