Sir Henry Guildford (1489-1532)
A portrait drawing of Sir Henry Guildford (1489-1532). A bust length portrait facing three-quarters to the right. He wears a hat and chain. A study for the painting in the Royal Collection (RCIN 400046). Inscribed in an eighteenth-century hand at upper left: Harry Guldeford Knight.
Sir Henry Guildford (1489-1532) was one of Henry VIII's closest friends. On the King's accession in 1509 he was appointed Esquire of the Body - a personal attendant on the King - and Master of Revels, responsible for organising the lavish entertainments at court. His parties included morris dancers, moving stages and a series of elaborate costumes for the young King. Guildford's influence at court was cut short in the 1519 purge of the so-called 'minions', an attempt by older statesmen to limit the influence of hot-headed young men on the 28-year-old monarch. Guildford soon returned to court, however, and developed a distinguished career as Comptroller of the Royal Household. In his continuing support for Katherine of Aragon he made a dangerous enemy of the King's mistress, Anne Boleyn, and it is a mark of his friendship with Henry that he remained in post until his death in 1532.
Guildford was a keen scholar as well as an experienced courtier, and his humanist interests may have drawn him to Hans Holbein (1497/8-1543) who arrived in England with a recommendation from Desiderius Erasmus. The two almost certainly worked together in the planning of revels at Greenwich in 1527, when a 'Master Hans' carried out much of the decorative painting. Guildford was one of the first in England to commission a portrait from Holbein; both the preparatory drawing and the finished oil painting survive.
This work, the preparatory drawing for the painting, demonstrates Holbein's versatility with chalk, which he has sharpened to create firm lines, blunted to give the contours of the hat, smudged to suggest the rich black of Guildford's hair and dampened to give a flesh-coloured tone to the face. A slight line of pen and ink has been used to sharpen the bottom right edge of Guildford's soft hat. The sheet has been cut down, but originally may have included the staff of office held in the sitter's right hand. The preparatory drawing for the portrait of Guildford's wife Mary, which survives in Basel, is on a much larger sheet (55.2 × 38.5 cm), and is probably closer to the original size of the present drawing.
The drawing is one of 11 by Holbein for which the final painted portrait survives. By laying tracings of Holbein drawings over the corresponding paintings, researchers have shown just how closely Holbein followed his preparatory sketches. This makes clear that, although today Holbein's drawings are valued and admired as works of art in their own right, for the artist they were tools for the production of a finished portrait. He appears to have used a variety of methods to transfer images from drawing to painting. While the portrait of Thomas More has been pricked around its contours to allow these to be transferred by means of dusted chalk, the outlines of the majority of surviving portrait drawings, including this example, appear to have been traced onto panels with metalpoint and a chalk-covered paper, which would leave chalk lines on the panel.

To date, the principal activities of USAMRU-K have included the following:
Investigation of basic immune responses to the malaria parasite and HIV;
testing of drugs against the malaria parasite and HIV and testing of antimalarial drugs and drug resistance;
development and testing of simplified diagnostics for malaria, leishmaniasis, and dengue;
epidemiology and control of vector-borne diseases; and
epidemic response (e.g., Rift Valley fever and Marburg virus infection).
A subcommittee of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee to Review the Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System visited USAMRU-K from October 16 to 20, 2000. The subcommittee consisted of committee members Kathleen Gensheimer, James Hospedales, and Guénaël Rodier. G.Rodier was recalled on October 17 to coordinate the World Health Organization (WHO) response to an epidemic of viral hemorrhagic fever in Uganda. A list of the people met and the itinerary followed can be found at the end of this chapter.
In 1985, KEMRI took occupancy of new laboratory facilities in Nairobi, and USAMRU-K headquarters were moved into this new KEMRI space. Research teams from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) are also collocated on the KEMRI campus.
In Nairobi, USAMRU-K headquarters are housed within the KEMRI Clinical Research Center, 1 of 10 KEMRI centers. In addition to a floor of laboratories and offices that house bacteriology, entomology, parasitology, and molecular biology activities at USAMRU-K headquarters in Nairobi, field operations are maintained at the western location of Kisian on Lake Victoria (for malaria studies) and at the high-elevation site of Kericho (for HIV studies). Smaller sites are maintained at Kisii in the highlands (for cerebral malaria), Baringo in the Rift Valley (for leishmaniasis), and Kilifi on the coast (for dengue).

Lighten Up the Grill
Seafood is a natural choice when you're trying to eat healthfully, and grilling practically guarantees delicious results. Try our four easy recipes that are low in fat but high in flavor.
Ready, Set, Grill
Grilled seafood is low in fat and calories and rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, which may prevent heart disease. Try these tips to keep it light, healthy, and tasty.
• Marinate seafood for 15 to 30 minutes before grill-ing to get great flavor fast.
• Give seafood a rub before it hits the grill. Make your own dry rub or check out the spice section of your supermarket for spiced and herbal choices.
• Clean the grill rack to remove any residue that might cause sticking, and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray before you place it over the fire.
• Cook thin fillets skin-side down when grilling to help keep the fish moist and in one piece. For thicker fillets, which require a longer cooking time, sear flesh-side first, then flip. When the fish is done, it's easy to lift the skin away from the flesh with a spatula.
• Throw some pre-soaked wood chips on the fire before grilling to add a layer of smoky flavor.
• Enliven grilled seafood with citrus or fresh salsas, which are low-calorie nutrition powerhouses.
Why Sauvignon Blanc? In a word, versatility. Many people consider this varietal the easiest to pair with seafood, due to its crisp acidity. (Wine would taste dull and flat without acidity.) John says that, in the same way a squeeze of lemon gives a bright boost to simple grilled fish, Sauvignon Blanc's acidity enhances food's flavor. John Buechsenstein, a founding partner in Sauvignon Republic, concurs. "Sauvignon Blanc is food-brilliant," he says. "It's the red-wine lover's white wine."
Passion for the varietal has led these business partners to devote their entire production to versions of Sauvignon Blanc made from grapes grown around the globe. One taste of their wines and you immediately understand the importance of "terroir"—the impact that geography and the soil have on fine wines.
Flavor Guide
Although generally considered citrusy, Sauvignon Blancs may possess aromatic or buttery characteristics depending on their terroir and wine-making technique.
Citrusy: These Sauvignon Blancs make ideal palate cleansers. Or try varietals with similar characteristics, such as Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, dry Riesling, Alvarinho or Albariño, Verdelho, and Sancerre.
Aromatic: "Fruity, floral Sauvignon Blancs, particularly from Marlborough, New Zealand, have a fruit-basket quality," Chef John says. Wines with a similar nose include Viognier, Riesling, and Muscat.
Buttery: Winemakers often experiment with different techniques to achieve a desired buttery richness. Other buttery whites include Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Alsatian wines from the French-German border. "Sauvignon Blanc's range of fruit flavors highlights all of these seafood dishes," Chef John says of the following recipes. He also recommends alternative pours that work equally well with each recipe.

Casual Cottage Garden Party
Casual Cottage Garden Party
By Jennifer Kwan
If being outdoors now feels more like being in a steam bath, then it's a good sign summer's here. Which is why it's time to start planning late-afternoon cottage retreats with good friends and relatives, and a little garden party flair.
Remember: these days it seems like hosting a party with paper-plates, burgers and wieners is barely passable (and a definite faux pas in some circles), so consider elevating your garden soiree by wowing guests with cheap and chic gourmet grill, served in a serene and stylish outdoor setting.
Before playing host, though, read through these tips to help plan the ultimate cottage affair.
Style Matters
Garden parties can be pretty simple or extremely extravagant; set the tone at the outset and stick with your decision. Will you host a mid-afternoon get together or a two-day weekend getaway? A family brouhaha or an enchanted retreat with a few close friends? Decide whether it'll be an intimate dinner, or love-in that oozes of potluck and picnic-style panache. Also, think of how many guests you intend to invite, and if there is to be a party theme.
Menu Options
Whether you ask guests to pitch in or prepare the whole shebang, it's always best to draft a list of must-have menu items. Include ideas from keen insiders, but firmly decide what main dishes you'll make. Then when you're ready to draft the invite list, assign the rest. That way you'll narrow the chances of duplication, and discourage people from bringing those barely-ingestible dishes. With this in mind, endless food themes await. But remember that you're at the cottage and keep it relatively low maintenance.
Invitations and Innuendo
Phone or Email invitations are definitely acceptable, but consider sending invitations in the mail. They can be an easy, fun way to ensure you'll be the guru of garden parties. There is plenty of fill-in stationary out there to choose from, or you can make your own. Customize invitations to suit any theme! Invitations are also a great way to give your guests an idea of what to expect when they arrive. Should they be in costume, bring their kids or drop them off with the folks for a couple of hours (or all night!). Will it be cocktails and appetizers, or a full night or weekend of feasting on fine food?
Space Suits
Your outdoor cottage space will influence the party's flow so examine your deck or lawn closely. The idea is to create the ultimate outdoor living room. You don't want your guests to be spread too thinly, but you also want them to mingle and roam freely at their leisure. Where you situate tables, how far apart or close together, will define the main hub. If you have a deck, consider setting up one dining and serving table there. Depending on the party's size, additional L-shaped sitting areas with cocktail tables create a look of casual elegance. Also, don't forget to use a small hutch or table to store a few extra glasses and dishes, cutlery, napkins and condiments.
Light It Up
Cottage lamps and tea lights are great way to light any outdoor party, and, of course, candles are a must. They throw the best light when they're placed in votives or small- to medium-sized vases. Use a few citronella candles if you're concerned about mosquitoes. Consider a weatherproof outdoor lamp, which looks great and creates an intimate outdoor setting. Beyond that, try latticing white lights around the edges of your shrubs and beautify your garden space with fibreglass garden art. Torch lamps also create a stunning effect, but best kept on the party's perimeter.
Cottage Décor
The idea is to design your outdoor cottage space so guests feel comfortable enough so that they don't feel like they're in the doghouse, yet satisfied enough to dine without the amenities and comforts of their own homes. Don't be afraid to decorate with items that look worn: straw hats, bags, old TV trays, and coffee tables. These add to the cottage décor. Match or complement your colour themes with décor accents such as decorative vases and plant containers, cocktail tables, or throw rugs. Use sheer materials to accent any chairs, canopies, or umbrellas. Above all, don't forget an important design rule: less is more!
Accents Galore
A splash of colour will also help to give your garden party an extra oomph. From dishware to placemats, from pillows to throws, colours will transform your garden setting into a swanky outdoor lounge. White or ivory linen tablecloths can change the look of a table dramatically, and nicely complement most colour schemes and help create an ambience of rustic elegance. If you're about to toss some old greeting cards, don't! Use them as placecards, labels for your main dishes, as well as your garden.
Prep and Pruning
After you've sketched out the type of party you want and what the overall space will look like, do some prep work before heading to the cottage and consider garden maintenance once you get there. This will help to make the day run smoothly. Chop, store and pack whatever you can, and don't forget to store things separately while you're on the road. As for the garden, make sure it's watered, weeded and pruned to perfection. If you have a small lawn, it might be a good idea to trim it before guests arrive.
Arrange Beach Finds – wonderful table decor!
In a clear fishbowl, nestle a candle into a bed of pale sea glass and white shells. It's a great place to drop off treasures when you return from a walk on the beach, and it makes an instant centerpiece for entertaining on the fly. Experiment with scale when grouping your display―consider size, color, and texture. www.coastalliving.com
Seashell Lights Martha Stewart!
A string of beach treasures casts a dreamy glow on a patio or porch. Decorate a string of small white lights with clean, dry shells. Tape a 2-foot section of lights to your work surface with bulbs lying flat. Apply a thin layer of epoxy along the hinge edge of a shell, and press into place at the base of a light. Repeat for each bulb. Let dry about five minutes before continuing with the next section.

A truly guest-oriented destination comprised of top-market residential, commercial, retail, hotel facilities and amenities, Etihad Towers is to set the benchmark against which all developments within Abu Dhabi, the UAE and the Middle East aspire. Etihad Towers is to become a landmark brand, forming a fundamental component to Abu Dhabi becoming a truly contemporary expression of an Arab Capital City.
FITCH was appointed to assess the nomenclature of Etihad Towers, put together its brand architecture and design the brand identity from stationery to marketing material and digital media. FITCH was also asked to evaluate and guide the brand signage.
The affluent consumer is changing and new trends are emerging: memorable brand experiences are becoming more important than trophies of wealth. As a symbol of the growth of Abu Dhabi, and in contrast to the 'flashiness' of Dubai, the city's new landmark is to convey a sense of understated elegance and sophistication, recognized for delivering a personal and authentic experience.
Instead of positioning itself as a 'mixed-use' development, Etihad Towers is to be perceived as a multi-faceted 'mini-city:' an all-encompassing, fully functional, integrated destination — with a distinctive character and personality. As a result, the brand architecture created by FITCH simplifies the experiences of the brand into five key categories; living, working, shopping, dining and staying. Exciting and enticing, yet understated; exclusive but not excluding, the brand effectively conveys its central message across its different offerings and to all of — "You are welcome."

Upper Street's pointed court shoe is a staple classic for every woman's wardrobe and is available with a 3.75" heel, 3" mid-heel or 2.25" kitten heel, which can be selected at the checkout. Our pointed court is cut with a contemporary short toe and elegantly tapered heel, which is sleek in shape, yet designed not to be too narrow at the front to pinch.
Here is our advice and tips on designing your made-to-order pointed court shoes in Upper Street's shoe designer. Follow these 7 easy steps to guide you through each section of your shoe design:
Step 1 – Shoe style: Choose the second thumb nail option and select the pointed court shoe option.
Step 2 – Upper shape: You have 2 options for the main structure of your shoe: D'Orsay or full cut. A D'Orsay is where the vamp of the shoe is cut away which accentuates the curves of the foot arch to create a sexy look to the shoe, however it isn't as secure as a classic full cut.
Tip: If you design your shoe with a D'Orsay cut we suggest a strap across the foot or an ankle strap for a more secure fit (see step 5).
Step 3 – Fronts: Design the front of your pointed court shoes by choosing from 8 different options to suit your style. Whether you're looking to keep it simple, or add glitz and glamour to the front of your shoe, we have the perfect design options for you. Select the asymmetric panel, to add a touch of colour within the layers, or adorn with a flower for a pretty feminine touch. The large buckle is a statement in itself, and can be designed in a material of your choice, or simply select gold or silver.
Tip: If you want to add studs, you must select the toecap option or the counter back option in step 4 so you can embellish in step 6.
Step 4 – Back: Design the back of your pointed toe court shoe by choosing from 2 different options, the counter back or plain back. If you want detailing on the front of the shoe, keep the back plain to keep it simple. Alternatively, a counter back creates a dynamic look if you want to contrast with different colours and materials.
Tip: Click on the image of the shoe and rotate it 360 degrees to get a full view from every angle.
Step 5 – Straps: Choose from 4 strap options as a decorative feature for your pointed courts. Straps can flatter your foot and can add a more secure fit. If you select the thin strap options you can add glitz with a Swarovski diamante trim. Try a contemporary and bold look with a wide front strap for a statement and secure fit.
Tip: Ankle straps can be removed on the finished shoes, but please note, not if you add a diamante trim.
Step 6 – Colours & materials: The colour option is organised in 2 ways: 'Sort by materials' which shows our extensive range of materials and 'Sort by colour' for our rich palette of colours.
First click on the shoe area then choose a colour or material, remember to colour each part of the shoe. For bridal inspiration, experiment with off-whites and pale pinks on your wedding shoes to accent the colours of your bouquet or bridesmaid's dresses.
Tip: Please note that studs can't be added to animal skin.
Prices differ for our standard materials and our premium materials. Please visit our pricing page for further details. You can follow your progress in the 'Colouring progress' palette on the right of the screen. At any time of the colouring process, you will be able to click the 'Costs & materials' button to see the cost for each material and extra embellishments.
Step 7 – Embellishments: Final stage, you can adorn your pointed court shoes with studs and Swarovski diamante trip.
For studs on the front of the shoe, you must select the toecap option in step 2, similarly for studs on the back, the counter back must be selected in step 3.
Tip: Swarovski diamante trim is available to select on all straps except wide front strap.
For more advice and inspiration on embellishments, take a look at our embellishment guide
Finished shoe: Save your shoe design to your collection or add to your shopping bag. Share your collection with your friends; they can help you decide which shoe they think would suit you.
Our shoes are available in sizes 33- 44 with 4 width fittings. You select your shoe size and heel height (3.75", 3" or 2.25") once you've added it to your shopping bag, and you can also add notes about your sizing.
Alternatively, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone +44 (0) 845 680 9365, or book a VIP appointment

Why BBN?
As in business, community banks are most successful when they connect with their target audience. Even the most innovative product or services remain untouched if the message fails to get to those who can benefit from it.
Community banks are often off the mark when it comes to connecting with what may be potentially their most profitable constituency: local businesses. The irony is that with the long string of bank consolidations, these businesses are ready for a choice.
All too often, however, community banks fail to focus on commercial prospects. Or if they are customers, they fail to expand their services beyond commercial real estate lending.
To make matters worse, there's a widespread perception that community banks are unable to meet the needs of local businesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. With today's technology, a community bank can offer many of the same services as a bank 50 times its size.
Clearly, community banks are in the right place at the right time. Local businesses want do to their banking locally. A U.S. Department of Justice study on banking divestiture indicates that businesses want a bank to be 1.5 to 3 miles from where they are located.
Here are some suggested ways to position a community bank for growing commercial accounts.
1. Get out and go to the customer. Even some physicians are discovering the value in making "home calls." Bankers can do the same. Get acquainted with the business from the inside. See where a customer works; understand the environment.
That's the beginning. Get out of the office and into the community by taking services to the customer. Why should a customer always have to go to the bank? On the residential side, many community banks learned the necessity of going to the customer to complete the application. Why not take this same approach with commercial accounts? While the community bank may not have all the bells and whistles of a big competitor, it has a powerful competitive advantage: the ability to go to the customer.
2. Lease as well as lend. Go into any small- to mid-sized business and much of its equipment is leased today. Some is leased directly through manufacturers, while most of it is handled by leasing companies.
For some of these customers, leasing is a way to upgrade equipment every 18 to 30 months. For others, it is a way of protecting their line of credit. Whatever purpose equipment leasing serves, it's just an alternate form of financing. While the interest rates may be higher, it is an easy, quick, and often times flexible way to get the right equipment.
For the most part, businesses do not think of a community bank when they consider leasing options. In fact, it is probably the last place they think about.
Why would community banks not take advantage of an opportunity to use equipment leasing as a way to demonstrate to local companies that they are interested in doing business with them?
A good commercial leasing product with better rates than the leasing companies will save your commercial accounts money-in both the monthly finance charges and at the end of the lease.
Of course, if a company does want to buy equipment outright, banks can offer loans with rates that may actually save them money.
3. Provide merchant services. Where do your commercial accounts conduct their merchant or credit card processing? It's probably through a large bank. Why not provide merchant processing? Why not help them with their daily business activities?
Failing to offer this type of service pushes merchants into the arms of the competition--and denies the community bank a source of continuous fee income. Such a service is more than profitable for the bank. It's also a way to strengthen a bank's relationship with its commercial customers. The customer becomes increasingly reliant on your services.
Just having the service isn't enough. It must be promoted, along with other services. Even banks that offer this service often don't promote it as well as they should.
4. Offer sweep accounts. It's basic and it's easy. Then why do so few community banks demonstrate their commitment to business customers by providing sweep accounts? Ironically, the community bank is in just as good a position to provide sweep accounts as any larger bank.
As the bank based in a community, the community bank can leverage this advantage to establish a sweep account for the town or city.
The sweep account is one of the fastest ways to get to your arms around the customer.
5. Get online with banking. Saving time for the small business owner or manager is critical today. There was a time when taking a walk down the street to make the deposit was an opportunity for the business owner to socialize, catch up on the local gossip, and even make a sale. Not so today. Business is conducted on the computer. Having Internet banking available for regular banking services and for bill payments is essential.
There are also opportunities to serve as an Internet portal by using the bank's Web site to showcase local businesses. What about offering local business an opportunity to connect with others via a business-to-business service on the Web site?
Today, the community bank can be in Internet banking quickly, easily, and at a lower cost utilizing the seamless services of a third-party vendor.
6. Line up lines of credit. From the lending side, many small- to mid-sized businesses want a line of credit that they can access without the effort of applying for a loan. More importantly, they want and need flexibility. This is why so many small businesses are using credit cards as their means of financing.
A lot of community banks don't offer that. They don't like unsecured lending. They're looking for the house or personal guarantees. From a competitive standpoint, large banks extend small business lines of credit by using a scoring system. If a business gets a certain score, they make the loan. What you need to have is a quick turnaround loan product for unsecured lending or a line of credit, maybe a scoring system.
7. Offer a purchase card. Many small to medium businesses need credit cards to buy supplies. MasterCard has a purchase card with larger credit lines. These cards are coded in such a way that they can only be used for purchasing supplies or materials for your business. Businesses will use this card which, in effect, functions like a credit card.
8. Take the bank to them. With consolidation, there are often fewer nearby branches. Yet, many businesses have a need for cash and deposits. Why not provide these merchants with an armored courier service to pick up and deliver coin and currency? And, at the same time, save these customers time by picking up their deposits. This service can be particularly helpful for stores with several locations.
With lean staffing, and a need to reduce overhead costs, "automating" these routine functions can produce greater efficiency.
9. Arrange business seminars . The community bank, perhaps working with an accounting firm, is in a good position to provide periodic seminars on key business issues. The demand for information has never been greater. Whether it's developing a business plan, reading financial statements, buying or selling a business, planning for business succession, or marketing and sales, the community bank can serve a legitimate need.
10. Meet personal banking needs. Building business accounts can be good banking business in another way.
While the businesses are the focus of attention, the potential for doing business with the owners or managers should not be underestimated. Some started their business at 17. Now in their 50s, they have accumulated substantial estates. Programs aimed at targeting wealth transference and trust services can appeal to this group who are looking for the personal attention offered by a community bank.
Getting substantial customers to think first of the community bank is the objective.
11. Share your knowledge. A community bank conducted a focus group with its business customers. At one point, the group was asked how the bank could best serve businesses. A leading merchant spoke up and said that he wanted to sit down once or twice a year with a couple of bank officers and discuss his business issues with them. He was so busy running his business that he had never taken the time to focus on these critical matters. Instantly, the other dozen businesspeople agreed.
While the bank was anticipating a discussion of various products and services, the business owners cut to the core: a community bank is a vital resource for helping them succeed in business.
It's quite possible that it won't be long before commercial accounts may be the largest segment of business for a community bank. The big banks offer such an array of electronic banking services that makes them increasingly attractive to a broad spectrum of customers--not just younger ones.
At the same time, the community bank is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of businesses within a 1.5- to 3-mile radius of its main office or branches. Because these are the people who need the type of banking services a community bank can offer, they are a rich resource for new business.
Allen L. Nielsen is the Chief Financial Officer of Bankers' Bank Northeast, a state-chartered financial institution that provides banking products and services for community banks in NewYork and New England. Bankers' Bank is based in Glastonbury, Conn. and currently serves more than 60 banks. Nationally, there are 18 Bankers' Banks that provide products and services to more than 5,000 community banks in 48 states.

Good morning all,
I was looking to get your advice on my next planned beer. I'm looking brew up this porter:http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=12090
I'm altering this recipe down to 1-gallon.
Per the brewing water chemistry primer;
Baseline: Add 1 tsp of calcium chloride dihydrate (what your LHBS sells) to each 5 gallons of water treated. Add 2% sauermalz to the grist.
For beers that use roast malt (Stout, porter): Skip the sauermalz.
I haven't been using sauermalz at all (just using the calcium chloride with distilled water). Looks like what I'm seeing above is that I can simply use the calcium chloride and distilled water only, and not have any issues.
Would you guys be able to confirm for me? Thanks!
Skipping the acid malt is imperative for this grist. The mash pH and resulting wort pH will be too low with the acid malt. With just the RO water, I suggest that you NOT add calcium chloride or gypsum to the mash water to help reduce the potential for too low a mash pH with this potentially acidic grist. I would reserve those minerals and add them directly to the kettle to help keep the RA of the mash water from falling too low and taking the mash pH with it. Adding the minerals after the mash reduces that effect.

I really don't understand...
I've brewed about 2-3 stouts so far (I'm sort of a novice) and both have had an astringent/tannin off flavor (as have all of my beers). I was guided to purchase some gypsum and calcium chloride and start brewing with distilled water (instead of the Poland Spring water I've been using) using calcium chloride added.
First off, in your post, what is "acid malt?"
Second, I've brewed stouts with Poland Spring water and have not added anything, and had the astringent/tannin taste. Are you saying that if I use distilled (without additives) I won't have that problem?
What is "the RA of the mash water?"
Acid malt is basically just a pale malt that has had some lactic acid sprayed on the outside. It's used mainly to lower the mash pH if you're brewing a lighter colored beer and/or you have very alkaline water. Some recipes also use it in higher amounts to add some lactic acid flavor to the beer. Edit: It's also just another name for sauermalz.
RA stands for residual alkalinity. During the mash some of the calcium and magnesium will react with phosphates in the malt to produce some hydrogen ions which lowers the alkalinity of the water (http://www.howtobrew.com/section3/chapter15-3.html). Residual alkalinity is essentially an attempt to predict how much alkalinity will be remaining in the water after this reaction takes place. If you don't measure the pH of the mash, then residual alkalinity gives you a rough ballpark estimate of what sort of water you should be shooting for so that your mash pH will be in an acceptable range, but figuring out the 'correct' range for your residual alkalinity is even more of a hand-wavey estimate based on predictions about how the types of grain you're using will effect mash pH (darker grains lower the pH more than light grains).
Anyway, the general idea behind the instructions in the primer are that you dilute with RO/distilled water so that you start with mineral/ion/chlorine free water. From there you add some calcium chloride since these are important for both yeast health and overall beer flavor. If you're brewing a pale beer, then the acid malt is used to ensure that the mash pH gets low enough for a good conversion. For darker beers this isn't needed since the dark malts in the recipe will lower the mash pH enough on their own to get good conversion.
How are you doing your sparging? Tannin extraction can come during the sparge from having too high of a pH or too high of a temperature in the sparge water.
So what sort of water/grain ratio are you using in your mash and how much water are you dunking in during the sparge? Also how long do you let the grains soak after you dunk them?
Basically the biggest factors for tannin extraction are temperature, pH, and time - as you increase each of these tannin extraction will increase. If the Poland Spring water you've been using was alkaline, then when you dunk your grains the pH could be rising enough to draw out tannins (especially if you let them soak for a long period of time). Using RO water will help since it can't buffer as much acid so the pH won't rise as much.
Assuming the Poland Springs water is similar to the stuff we get in VT, then the water isn't alkaline. The alkalinity is probably about 20pm as CaCO3, max.
Hmm, looks like it can be all over the place. They list ranges for alkalinity from 12-200ppm and bicarbonate between 15-250ppm (http://www.nestle-watersna.com/pdf/PS_BWQR.pdf). Probably worth switching to RO water just to get some consistency between bottles....
Also, that 250 bicarbonate may be a typo, since the water wouldn't balance ionically given the other ranges for calcium/mag/sulfate/etc

Not a huge fan of Jay Leno's prime-time show on NBC? Neither is Jay Leno! ''Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30? Yeah, sure,'' the Jay Leno Show host said in a surprisingly candid interview with Broadcasting & Cable last week. That's a stunning revelation from a man who just five months ago bragged that ''10 o'clock is the new 11:30'' and that NBC ''can do five Tonight Shows for less money than one 10 o'clock drama.'' But, of course, that was before Leno premiered his earlier, five-nights-a-week talk show and saw his audience plummet from 18.4 million to 4.3 million in just seven weeks. These days, Leno is averaging 2.5 million fewer viewers than NBC's dramas like Law & Order: SVU and ER attracted at this time last year. And the bleeding doesn't stop there: Ratings are down for the post-Leno local newscasts in seven of NBC's top 10 markets, and a half hour later Conan O'Brien is routinely losing to David Letterman.
NBC declined to comment for this story but insiders continue to push the notion that putting Leno at 10 p.m. was always about economics, not ratings. It's still cheaper to make a talk show than an hour-long drama, and even Leno admitted that his threshold for success is (ridiculously) low. ''I'm told if we can keep a 1.5 [rating], they make $300 million a year; this is what they say,'' he explained. ''So we're a little above the 1.5, we're doing okay.''
But at what cost? ''They gave up being a 22-hour network like ABC and CBS,'' snipes one Big Four competitor. ''They may be making $300 million, but how much does that offset what they might be losing in other [ways]?'' Indeed, Leno's struggle has not only allowed CBS to continue its domination at 10 p.m., it's also given ABC a much-needed chance to catch up the network's dramas like Castle, The Forgotten, and Private Practice are up 16 percent among young adults versus the same time slot last year. Meanwhile, CBS is able to command ad rates north of $120,000 per 30-second spot for its 10 p.m. dramas while NBC is lucky to collect $60,000 for a commercial spot on Leno, according to a survey by Ad Age.
NBC maintains that Leno's ratings will tick up once CBS and ABC dramas go into reruns and Leno continues producing original episodes. The problem with that argument is that cable networks will still be airing new episodes and Leno is starting to flirt with those types of numbers; on a recent Tuesday night, he drew fewer young adults than FX's Sons of Anarchy.
For now, the network's affiliates are trying to remain optimistic. ''Do we want higher ratings? Sure,'' says NBC affiliates board chairman Michael Fiorile. ''However much time has to pass be it four or six months if we're not seeing any improvement, then we'll start asking questions.'' Here's one to chew on while they wait: What shape will NBC be in at that point?

Release Date: 2001 |
looks great.
Great review, I was going to look into this band. I was thinking of downloading Rossz csillag alatt született first but I guess I'll go with this since I can pronounce it.
sexy review
A Venetian Snares review with the word IDM used? I never would have thought.
Well its kind of the genre
pretty sure that was sarcasm...
Its basically the style. It gives a lot of people sort of a general idea of what it sounds like.
Sounds twisted.
Good concise review
I can only tolerate so much Venetian Snares. I really like a handful of his songs but he really needs to learn when to stop adding useless clicks and bleeps into his songs.
The songs I heard by this guy sucked but the concept around this album is cool enough to make me want to hear it.
What I want to know is if it's better than RCAS.
Album Rating: 4.0just listen to it.
Album Rating: 3.5I am right now! I already listened to Songs About My Cats and printf(Shiver In Eternal Darkness_n) which were both average/good. Hope to see some improvement in this one since both of those albums had some meaningless minutes put into them.
Album Rating: 3.5The date is wrong on this album it was first released in '01 not '04. So far this album is extremely more balanced then Funk's predecessors. Besides the "Remi" (I'm at track 4) everything has been great.
My heart says 3.5, but my head says 4 =( decisions decisions.
Album Rating: 2.5Just realized how bad this is

Elna Sewing Machines
Elna 7200
Even though the 7200 has the ability to do beautiful alphabet letters in both block and script, the most people who use this sewing machine are quilters, who use it heavily for their many projects.
Here are some of the features that make this Elna sewing machine a favorite of many:
For really big openings you can use the 4 step classic or bound buttonhole. Some reviewers mentioned that they especially like the buttonhole applique stitch, a feature that the Janome 6500 does not have.
One complaint that is fairly common for both the Elna 7200 and Janome 6500 is that the machines do have some problems with small areas of paint chipping.
Most reviewers loved their quilting machines and so were willing to put up with this minor inconvenience. A little clear nail polish should keep the problem from getting any worse.
Elna machines can be hard to find. Sometimes you can find a good deal on Craigslist, and there are usually some machines available on Ebay.

There's no question that most Whitestone residents oppose a high school on the former Cresthaven Country Club property, but there is controversy over last week's rally at the site.
Although the event was organized by Kim Cody, president of the Greater Whitestone Taxpayers Civic Association, emails and literature were sent out from the Paul Vallone campaign. Vallone is the Democratic candidate running for the 19th City Council seat being vacated by Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), who is not seeking re-election after being indicted on federal bribery charges.
Cody is angered that Vallone turned the legitimate concerns about a proposed high school on 150th Street near Fifth Avenue into a campaign rally. "Paul's volunteers handed out press releases and no one else spoke," he said. "We're a nonpolitical civic and this should not have been a political rally."
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) announced last week that the School Construction Authority is looking at the site, but a Department of Education spokesman said there are no definite plans, adding it was one of several locations being surveyed.
Cody said he informed Vallone about the issue and invited Dennis Saffran, the Republican candidate, to attend. "But Vallone took over at the rally and his campaign wasn't happy Dennis showed up, although he did not speak."
The civic leader believes a high school is not a good fit for the residential neighborhood and the site has particular problems such as lack of public transportation and sewers. "Unfortunately, we do need schools," Cody said. "but there have to be locations that are better suitable."
He would like to have a sitdown with the SCA about other potential sites. "Nobody will talk to us. It's wrong," Cody said.
Although Halloran is a lame duck councilman, Cody said that it was improper of Vallone to use the rally as a campaign event. "He's not an elected official yet," the civic leader said. "I like Paul; I'm a Democrat, but my responsibility is to Whitestone."
Cody, however, believes the rally was important. "It puts us on record with the SCA that we're not happy," he said.
According to Vallone's campaign, about 300 gathered for the event. "We the people must be allowed a greater say in any development that is planned for our district and that means more than any hollow 'comment period' that goes largely ignored," Vallone said.
He accused the SCA of "barging into our backyard" with its site selection powers and "without any regard for what the community wants."
Vallonee wants all sides to come together at a negotiating table where the voice of area residents would be considered. "The construction of a school in this neighborhood would tarnish the precious quality of life we enjoy here. The local homeowners know it and the SCA knows it. We must find another site," he added.
Also speaking at the rally was Debra Markell, president of the Waterside Estate Homeowners Association, who called the site an inappropriate location for a school. "It simply does not offer the infrastructure and transportation options necessary for the development of a new school," she said.
Devon O'Connor, head of the Welcome to Whitestone Civic Association, attended last week's rally but did not speak. He told the Chronicle that he is not against a high school, just at that location. "There's no transportation or running water. They'd need to put in a pumping station," O'Connor said.
Also opposing the site is Saffran who said Monday that although he was asked to attend by Cody, "Vallone took over the rally and I wasn't asked to speak."
He doesn't believe the location is an appropriate site for a high school as it's "off the beaten track and though it's in the preliminary stages, people have the right to oppose the plan before it goes further."
On Saturday, Vallone held another rally and petition signing at the proposed site. About 700 signed the forms either in person or on an online petition at: change.org/petitions/nyc-school-construction-authority-propose-alternative-locations-to-build-a-new-high-school-in-nyc-council-district-19.
Saffran noted that the Malba Gardens Civic Association also has a petition drive that he supports. Go to change.org/petitions/new-york-city-doe-and-ny-city-mayor-allow-the-residents-of-the-whitestone-community-a-voice-to-decide-on-what-type-of-development-if-any-should-be-planned-for-within-our-community-and-our-district?share_id=veXcQQjHyg&utm_campaign=mailto_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition.
The property in question originally was a popular country club located on 22 acres. It operated for 39 years and closed due to lack of membership in 1989.
The Mattone Group purchased 16 acres in 2000 and built 110 luxury homes along the East River waterfront. A proposal by then-City Councilman Tony Avella in 2006 to turn the remaining site into baseball diamonds by the Parks Department was not approved.
In 2007, Whitestone Jewels LLC bought the six acres for $23 million. The developer wanted to build a 55-home gated community, but eventually defaulted on its loan. The property is now in foreclosure by OneWest Bank.

The Draft Baby!!!!!!!
Where do I start, I like every pick in the draft we have made. I know what you are all saying even Tebow, yes even Tebow. I think he is one of the most dynamic, and versatile players in the draft. I see him on the field day one, he will not be the starting QB, but he will be in there on short yardage plays and inside the ten yard line, he will be a nightmare for defenses to defend, I even see him sliding out to the tight end position in some way shape or form. I know everyone thinks we reached for him, but I disagree. We traded back twice and we used those picks to move back up in the draft. So ended up with two number ones, and still had a 2nd, 2-3rds, 5th, and 6th. I think he proves everyone wrong. I love the D. Thomas pick he is a big physical WR, who can block, and has better speed than Brandon Marshall. I know he is not Marshall yet, but you have to love his potential. Eric Decker has great hands runs great routes and catches everything thrown his way, I thought he was the 3rd best reciever in the draft, we stole him. We addressed needs with other picks, Zane Beadles, is a good offensive guard who can play other positions on the offensive line. J.D. Walton was the second best center in the draft, I am glad we got him. I am not sure where we go with our last two picks, I know we need ILB help and secondary help. I am not sure we get either of those with our remaining picks. I like Cam Thomas, but I think he will be gone before we pick. The RB out of Oregon (Blount) would be a nice bruising RB. Let me know what everyone thinks about this draft and if anyone agrees with me. I give this draft a B+.

Egg cup
Restrained decoration composed of simple raised banding. Simple, fluid profile. Impressed roaring lion near lip on one side.
Écuelles are broad, shallow bowls with domed covers typical of 17th and 18th century manufacture (silver and ceramic) for the service of soup. It is not uncommon, such as with this work, for the lid and bowl to have become separated. Two handles or 'ears' negated the need for a spoon, as one would pick the vessel up by the 'ears' and bring to the lips to ingest the soup. Characteristic of French silver, the nearest English complement would be the deeper 17th century porringer. This écuelle follows the characteristic shape and form. It is refined and elegant with wonderful splayed foliate ears.
