You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'pontifical bible commission' tag.
In an address to the Pontifical Biblical Commission (of which Dutch Bishop Jan Liesen is a member), Pope Francis shone a light on the Catholic understanding of the Bible. This is an ever-necessary effort, as there is still much confusion and misunderstanding on exactly how the Bible fits in our faith and tradition.
In his address, the Holy Father explained:
"As we know, the Holy Scriptures are the testimony in written form of God's Word, the canonical memorial that attests to the event of Revelation. The Word of God, therefore, precedes and exceeds the Bible. It is for this reason that the center of our faith is not only a book, but a history of salvation and especially a Person, Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh. Precisely because the Word of God embraces and extends beyond Scripture to understand it properly we need the constant presence of the Holy Spirit who "guide us to all truth" (Jn 16:13). It should be inserted within the current of the great Tradition which, through the assistance of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of the Magisterium, recognized the canonical writings as the Word addressed by God to His people who have never ceased to meditate and discover its inexhaustible riches. The Second Vatican Council has reiterated this with great clarity in the Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum: "For all of what has been said about the way of interpreting Scripture is subject finally to the judgment of the Church, which carries out the divine commission and ministry of guarding and interpreting the word of God "(n. 12)."
What we may gather from this is that the Bible does not exist in isolation: it is not a book that came into being as we know it today. Instead, it grew, developed and exists not for its own purpose, but to communicate the Word of God. And a second important point is the role of Tradition, the magisterium, and – not least – the Holy Spirit, which act as interpreters of this Word.
We are a Religion of the Book, but our religion is not about the book. It is about what – who – the book is about. And that gives us a hint about how we should relate to the Bible. As Pope Francis explains later:
"The interpretation of the Holy Scriptures cannot be only an individual scientific effort, but must always confront itself with, be inserted within and authenticated by the living tradition of the Church. This norm is essential to specify the correct relationship between exegesis and the Magisterium of the Church. The texts inspired by God were entrusted to the Community of believers, the Church of Christ, to nourish the faith and guide the life of charity."
The nature of the Bible tells us how it relates to us and the greater body of faith. We should receive it as it was given: the testimony of the Word of God for the community of faithful.
There has been much talk about the new prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard Müller, but we haven't heard much from him. Hence, as a sort of introduction, my translation of this interview, courtesy of Johannes Schidelko of Kath.net.
KNA: My Lord Archbishop, what do you feel in the face of your appointment?
Müller: Gratitude for the confidence that the pope gives me. It is not an easy task, considering the entirety of the World Church; but it is a beautiful assignment to be able to serve the pope in his teaching. The office has a universal ecclesiastic dimention – and has nothing to do with centralisation.
KNA: When did you know that you would be going to Rome?
Müller: For a while already. But the change of office needs to run its ordered course.
KNA: Do you know why the pope has appointed you? Did he want a German, a theologian, someone he trusted?
Müller: It certainly wasn't about the nationality, and as Catholics we all belong to the world Church. But the Holy Father knows me and my theological work, not only as an author, but also as an expert of the Synod of Bishops in Rome and in the committees of Ecumenism and Faith of the German Bishops' Conference.
KNA: When do you begin in your office?
Müller: I have already begun, on July 2nd.
KNA: You are now one of the most important people in the Vatican, and one of the closest collaborators of the pope. What are your first steps?
Müller: I have already met with the leaders of the Congregation, to get an overview of the daily procedures and responsibilities. The scope is very broad: the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith consists of three departments: the doctrinal, disciplinary and marriage departmentd. The prefect is at also president of the Bible Commission and the International Theological Commission. We have about fifty immediate employees. Then there are the "Feria quarta", the meetings of cardinals, which takes place every four weeks.
KNA: What are your substantive priorities?
Müller: The Congregation is responsible for the promotion of the doctrine of the faith, and not only for its protection. The 1965 reorganisation of the agency has placed this positive aspect in its heart. It is about the promotion of theology and its basis in Revelation, to ensure its quality, and to consider the important intellectual developments on a global scale. We can't simply and mechanically repeat the doctrine of the faith. It must always be associated with the intellectual developments of the time, the sociological changes, the thinking of people.
KNA: What do you want to emphasise especially? What do you want to especially deal with in the near future?
Müller: The Congregation has the task of supporting the pope in his Magisterium. We must orient ourselves on the emphases he makes in his proclamations. During his journey to Germany, Benedict XVI put the question of God at the centre. He also spoke of the 'worldliness' of the Church – a topic not only intended for Germany. It is about a right understanding of the nature and mission of the Church; about finding the right balance between shutting out the world and adapting to it – so that we can truly serve the world in the name of Jesus Christ. In particular, we have to counter a widespread apathy in matters of faith. The 'Year of Faith', with the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Council and twenty years of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, will be an essential contribution to this.
KNA: You begin your service in a turbulent time for the Vatican. Or is the Vatican currently back on its feet again?
Müller: I don't know much about this concretely. It remains to be seen what the investigations reveal. What seems important to me is that the good works of the many hundreds of employees in the Curia are not overlooked. They are unfairly associated with these individual actions; the impression is created that everyone is involved. That is totally out of the question.
KNA: Another major topic in Rome is the anniversary of the Council. What do you expect from looking back?
Müller: We do not need a hermeneutic that is imposed upon the Council from outside. It is important to explore the hermeneutic that is included in the Council itself: the hermeneutic of reform in continuity, as the Holy Father has repeatedly underlined. A Council is the execution of the highest magisterium of the Church in the communion of the bishops with the Pope.
In this sense, the Second Vatican Council was a wonderful event, albeit from a somewhat different type than some previous councils. It was its legitimate intention to respond not only to certain errors and correct them, but to provide an overall view of the Catholic faith. It wanted not many individual elements, but the big picture, the great architecture of the present church with large rooms where you can feel at home and gladly live.
KNA: The Council, however, also created problems, for example for the SSPX.
Müller: Everyone who calls himself Catholic, will also have to keep the principles of the Catholic faith. These are not pre-formulated by the CDF or anyone else, but given to us in the Revelation of God in Jesus Christ, which has been entrusted to the Church. One can therefore not simply pick from it what fits in a given structure.
Rather, one must be open to the whole of the Christian faith, the whole profession of faith, the Church's history and development of her teaching. One must be open to the living Tradition which does not end somewhere – say in 1950 – but goes on. Inasmuch as we appreciate history with her great achievements, we must also see that every era is also directly related to God. Every era has its own challenges. We can not explain a historical era according to the classical pattern, but we walk from one summit to the next.

With the appointment, just before the Vatican comes to a virtual Summer standstill – of the new heard of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – in times past know as the Universal Inquisition (which never fails to raise hackles in some media) – there is the question: who is Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller?
On the website of his former Diocese of Regensburg we find an extensive biography in English which shows that Bishop Müller is very much the pope's man. Like Benedict, he is a professor, at home in the world of academia. A former position as professor of Catholic dogmatics at Munich, and since a few years as the official coordinator of the publication of Pope Benedict's collected works, cements this theological and academical closeness to the Holy Father.
Another aspect of the new prefect's career coincides with the pope's priorities of advancing ecumenism with the Orthodox Churches of the East. Within the German Bishop's Conference, Bishop Müller, who received the personal title of archbishop upon his appointment, was co-responsible for contacts with the Orthodox.
There are more elements in his biography which gel well with his new duties as the Church's 'third man'. Succeeding Cardinal Levada, a red hat is a certainty for Bishop Müller, as are the presidencies which come with his new position: those of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei", and the International Theological Commission.

In a short message to the Pontifical Bible Commission (translation), Pope Benedict XVI addresses the topics of inspiration and truth in the Sacred Scriptures, and how both these elements are "constitutive characteristics of [their] nature". He makes some very interesting points which we should keep in mind when reading the Bible and studying or applying the texts in it.
First, there is the following statement:
"[T]he topic of inspiration is decisive for the appropriate approach to the Sacred Scriptures. In fact, an interpretation of the sacred texts that neglects or forgets their inspiration does not take into account their most important and precious characteristic, that is, their provenance from God."
Essentially, what the pope seems to be saying here, is that the inspiration of a Biblical text, that is its origin and source, as well as the process by how it came into being, should dictate how we read those texts. Sacred Scripture ultimately finds its source in God. That is not the same as saying that He personally dictated the words to whichever scribe first committed them to paper, but He is behind it, so to speak. His truth is in those words. They are His Word, written down by man. It is not a thesis by which someone tried to defend his position or ideas. It is not a human construct, and neither is it academic. The texts in the Bible are grounded in historical reality, a reality in which God played an important part. The texts, in their nature, are characterised by that reality.
"Because of the charism of inspiration, the books of Sacred Scripture have a direct and concrete force of appeal."
Their inspiration gives the books of the Bible their living authority. The Holy Father writes that their relevance did not end at the death of the last Apostle, but it continued through the constant proclamation and interpretation through the ages.
"For this reason the Word of God fixed in the sacred texts is not an inert deposit inside the Church but becomes the supreme rule of her faith and power of life. The Tradition that draws its origin from the Apostles progresses with the assistance of the Holy Spirit and grows with the reflection and study of believers, with personal experience of the spiritual life and the preaching of Bishop."
This process of interpretation occurred within the framework of the Tradition of the Church which, the Holy Father notes, has progressed with the assistance of the Holy Spirit given at Pentecost, and grows via four means: reflection, study, experience and preaching. 'Reading the Bible', then, engages the entire person, not just the intellect. We read or hear, we feel, think and, certainly not least, we experience.
The reference to "the preaching of the Bishop" is interesting in its own right. Just as the Apostles were the first to proclaim the Word of God in the Tradition that we still enjoy. This work was later performed by their successors: the bishops. Our Tradition is so much more than a collection of old habits and customs: it is a living organism built around the Word of God that we find in the Bible, but also in the Tradition, in its interpretation and truth.
"[I]t is essential and fundamental for the life and mission of the Church that the sacred texts are interpreted in keeping with their nature: Inspiration and Truth are constitutive characteristics of this nature."

I came across a pretty nice-looking website that heralds the publication of an extensive biography of a forgotten Catholic great: Willem Marinus Cardinal van Rossum (1854-1932). Born a year after the Catholic hierarchy was re-established in the Netherlands, his career coincided with the period we now call the 'rich Roman life' (Rijke Roomsche Leven), when Catholics took full advantage of their newfound freedom to form all kinds of Catholic associations, unions and other clubs, to organise processions (if only below the great rivers) and take their devotions out of centuries of secrecy and hiding.
Cardinal van Rossum, then, was one that Dutch Catholics took pride in. His return to the Netherlands in 1924, as the papal legate to the Eucharistic Congress of Amsterdam, was basically the next best thing to the pope himself visiting. And his career was impressive in any case. In 1911, he was the first Dutch priest to be created a cardinal since the Reformation. He wasn't a bishop then yet (something that is customary today, but less so in the past), but was appointed as President of the Pontifical Bible Commission in 1914, and two years later also as Major Penitentiary. In 1918 he also became Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (the current Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples), and his consecration to bishop followed in that same year. There's a fuller list of his various duties on the biography page on the website I linked to above.
The titular churches he held (first as Cardinal-deacon and later as Cardinal-priest) were suitably high profile. From 1911 to 1915 he held the S. Cesareo in Palatio, which was later held by Blessed Karol Wojtyła, for one. From 1915 until his death in 1932, the cardinal was cardinal-priest of S. Croce in Gerusalemme (right), which before him was held by two later popes (Innocent VII and Benedict XIV) and today by Cardinal Miloslav Vlk, the emeritus archbishop of Prague.
As bishop he was the titular archbishop of Caesarea in Mauretania (there it is again), later held by to name but two, my own Bishop Gerard de Korte and Cardinal Walter Brandmüller.
Willem Cardinal van Rossum, because of his pioneering role for the rejuvenated Dutch Church, is deserving of a proper biography, and judging by the website above, this could be it.

More than 20 Malay-Muslim groups have called for a boycott of Cadbury products after pork DNA was found in two batches of the company's chocolate, reports the Malay Mail Online .
They want a holy war declared against the chocolate company, claiming it has 'crossed the line' and attempted to 'weaken' Muslims in Malaysia.
Pork is prohibited in the Islamic diet, and Cadbury Malaysia certifies its products as halal. Earlier this week it recalled two batches of chocolate which tested positive for traces of pork DNA .
Further testing on the product samples, as well as other products from the same processing line in the plant, is being carried out.
The Malay-Muslim groups calling for the boycott include Perkasa, the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Darul Islah Malaysia, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia and the Halal Muslim Entrepreneurs' Association.

Northwestern's Santalla earns All-America honors
|New Britain, CT-04 June 2012-060412CM14- Northwestern's Dan Santalla competes in the boys 110m hurdle finals event during the State Open Track and Field Championships Monday afternoon at Willow Brook Park in New Britain. Santalla placed second in the event to Norwalks Adam Robertino. Robertino ran a 14.70, Santalla ran a 14.74. Santalla would later win the boys 300m hurdles with a time of 38.39. Christopher Massa Republican-American
Northwestern Regional's Dan Santalla is a decathlon All-American. The recent Highlander graduate finished fifth overall in the New Balance National Championship at North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro, N.C.
Santalla's final point total was 6,027. Kris Horn of Pembroke, Mass. won the national title with 6,720 points.
"I am completely and utterly exhausted," Santalla said Friday night, but also utterly ecstatic.
"Being All American is everything I've ever wanted and ever worked for," he add. "It's amazing. I accomplished all my goals. I broke 6,000 points and went All-American."
On day one of the competition Thursday, Santalla's top events were the 100-meter dash (11.21), in which he finished second, the long jump (21 feet), where he was third, and the 400-meter dash (49.52), which he won.
On day two Friday, Santalla won the 110 hurdles (14.95), which he also won last week at the New England championships. In the 1500 meters (4:40.48) he finished second. He cleared 10 feet, 7 1/2 inches in the pole vault to tied for fifth.
He finished out of the top 10, however, in the throwing events, the shot, discus and javelin, where he candidly noted that he had to "minimize the inevitable damage." The key, Santalla said, was performing well in his strong events.
"That was the biggest thing," he said. "Those events are the hardest because you are counting on those points, and you can't afford a bad surprise. You have to stay mentally tough because those events are the most nerve-wracking.
"Staying mentally cool and collected is half the battle in the decathlon."
The tough task now is recovering for today's 400-meter hurdles final, which starts at 2:45 p.m.
"I have nothing to lose now," he added. "I will go out and run as hard as I can and whatever happens happens."
In the 5,000 meters, Naugatuck's Muad Hrezi ran a school record time of 15:07 to finish 14th in the nation. The Greyhounds grad will attend nearby UNC Charlotte in the fall.
In the girls 5,000 meters, Stephanie Deccy of Lewis Mills ran an 18:36 and that was good for 29th in the event, while Cheshire's Amanda Chang (18:42) was 33rd.
In the girls emerging elite discus championship, Oxford sophomore Taylor Drayton's best toss was 108 feet, 5 inches which earned her 14th. Today, she competes in the emerging elite shot put championship.
Also today, Cheshire's Jake Scinto competes for the national high jump championship. Scinto went after the national triple jump title Friday night, but results were not posted by press time.
Also, Wolcott's Joe Gioielli runs in the 800-meter final today, and Northwestern's Annmarie Tuxbury runs the 2,000-meter steeplechase.

The kingdom's old capital of Punakha is the heart and soul of Bhutanese culture. It's a marvelous area to explore during the winter months, due to its subtropical climate and low elevations (in the four- to five-thousand-foot range). Mountain views are generally crystal clear, and the landscape is bursting with color: bright yellow mustard alternates with winter wheat and rice on the steeply terraced fields, the ubiquitous red chilies (a staple of Bhutanese cuisine) dry on rooftops, and a glorious array of wildflowers carpets the forest-covered ridges.
We commence with a visit to Paro, then head east to Punakha for a beautiful three-day village-to-village trek. We'll be hiking through country that, nearly 500 years ago, was the stomping ground of the famous "Divine Madman" Drukpa Kinley, a giant figure in Bhutanese folklore. We end with a visit to the remote alpine valley of Phobjikha for a glimpse of the rare black-necked cranes who swoop down from Tibet for the winter. One of our early spring departures will incorporate the madly colorful Punakha festival.

Many of the most prominent shows on television are about New York, and increasingly, they are being shot in New York. In the following One on 1 report, NY1's Budd Mishkin speaks with one man who is behind that effort.
While most New Yorkers do not know Stuart Suna, or Silvercup Studios, they probably do know "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" – two of the many shows that were filmed in Long Island City at Silvercup Studios, which is run by Stuart Suna, and his brother, Alan.
Among the shows filming there now are "30 Rock", "Gossip Girl", and "Ugly Betty."
"Ugly Betty" shot its pilot in New York City, before moving to Los Angeles for two years. This year, it returned to NYC.
Suna was part of the group which lobbied city and state officials to offer increased tax exemptions for shows filming here.
"It made economic sense, and they could also expand the show to be more about New York because, you know, 'Ugly Betty' is about Queens, and we're in Queens," said Suna. "So it's easy for them to do their location work instead of flying everybody over." Silvercup also houses films and commercials. It provides the space, the equipment, and the architecture.
And that's where Suna's biography diverges from your average studio head. As a young man, he studied architecture and passion was art.
He serves on many arts-related boards, including the Hamptons Film Festival.
He's a risk taker when heli-skiing and rock climbing, but as a young artist, Suna was a realist.
"I always knew that artists, it's very challenging to support your lifestyle that I aspired to," he said. "I wanted to be able to go skiing and sailing and be in the Hamptons."
So now he facilitates a different type of art.
"Shows about New York should be shot in New York," he said.
The building that houses Silvercup Studios has a history of its own.
"It originally had flour silos in here for Silvercup Bread," explained Suna. "This was a bread factory."
In a classic case of foreshadowing, Suna once took a school field trip to the Silvercup Bread factory.
"I just remember it being huge, you know, this giant bakery," he said. "I remember going, 'oh this is the bread I eat at home.'"
Silvercup's roof offers Suna a spectacular view of Manhattan, perfect for yoga sessions when he wants to get away from the business downstairs. And thanks to a grant from the New York Power Authority, it also offers a space for green roof technology, designed to give off oxygen, cool the roofs, and help with storm water runoff.
"Their roots are giant sponges, so when the rain comes pouring down they just expand, like almost instantly," he said. "And the sponges just drink in all this water and keep it from going to the sewer system."
A few blocks to the west lies the site of what Suna hopes will be his next big project.
Silvercup West is designed to house more studio space, apartments, office buildings, restaurants and an esplanade along the water.
Despite approvals from local, city and state officials, the project is still in what Suna calls "the evolutionary phase." But Suna's history indicates a patience and perseverance to see a project through.
"My father was certainly very tenacious and very and determined," he said. "And he's the one who told me that I can be like a pit bull."
Suna's home was on Long Island, where he showed an early entrepreneurial spirit.
"My passion was about skiing, and I figured out how to get there since I couldn't afford it, I would work for it," Suna said. "I went to work for a ski tour company, to run ski trips and then start a club at my high school and go skiing with your friends. It was a good thing."
He earned a dual degree from Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh in architecture and fine arts. He even had an exhibit of his work called "Please Touch," specifically intended for the blind.
"Very often, when you go to museums, you're not allowed to touch things," said Suna. "So I believe that I encouraged them to touch, and so my work was different. They'd lift it up, they'd feel the weight, feel the texture, and it was just very exciting to see how people can really appreciate three dimensions without being able to see it."
But an artist's life was not for him. He came home to work as an architect. In 1979, he came with his father to look at the old Silvercup Bread factory, vacant for six years in the aftermath of a teamster's strike.
"There was still the smell of bread everywhere," he recalled. "In the locker room for the employees, there were still personal belongings and newspapers and magazines from the day they closed because it was just like closed within two hours."
At the time, the area looked very different than it does today.
"There was prostitution and drugs," he said. "It was a sketchy area in daytime. [My father's idea] was to buy this building and consolidate two of his sheet metal factories. We had no desire to build film studios, that idea came because the caretaker of the building, Joe Zabo, who worked for Silvercup Bread, said CBS had come to look at the building to build studios. So that was the germ of the idea."
It started slowly with films like Woody Allen's "Purple Rose of Cairo," and "Highlander," with a scene up on the famed Silvercup sign.
Suna not only worked there. For 10 years, he and his family lived in a loft in the building, occasionally helping out on shoots.
"People would also ask us all the time that they need some candlesticks, that they needed towels," he said. "When they were doing shoots downstairs, we became like the prop house that they would come to for an emergency."
Silvercup prospered, and now hosts some of the top shows on television.
Along the way, Suna learned to work with his brother Alan as partners.
"Part of it is also learning what our strengths and our weaknesses are as whole, as people, not just as the personal relationship," said Suna. "For us, to learn, what are my strengths versus my brother Alan's strengths and to try and support each other's strengths versus to pick on each other's weaknesses."
Suna's cup is pretty full, as a studio head, real estate developer, chairman of the Hamptons Film Festival and the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, while raising two kids with his wife, Vicki, a vice dean and adjunct professor at NYU.
"She was on the landmark's commission for 14 years," he said. "So I love all the debate about landmarks and preservation versus real estate and development."
And, in fact, on the site that Suna is hoping to develop as Silvercup West, there is a landmarked building that will remain.
Despite the expansion of the Silvercup brand name, Suna's story still comes back to the old bread factory and the good fortune that ensued after his father's decision to buy the building his son visited as a kid almost 50 years ago.
"It's almost like a pride there," he said. "This show was shot here at Silvercup Studios and makes us feel that Silvercup has really grown a lot over the years."

I posted this in general earlier but I think this is probably where this should be.
I have gotten some information on my local water profile from my water dept.
To me it looks like everything is pretty low except sulfate and chloride. Although compared to other profiles from around the world these are not very high. So my question is - Does any one have any comments about what kind of beer(s) this water is suited for or maybe suggestions and things to be concerned with!? Up till now I haven't been paying too much attention to the water profile so all comments are welcome.
Calcium 8 ppm
Magnesium 4.2 ppm
Sodium 30 ppm
Sulfate 38 ppm
Chloride 53 ppm
Ammonia ~ 0.2 pp billion
Nitrate 2.5 ppm
Nitrite 0.02 ppm
Hardness as CaCO3 37
Alkalinity as CaCO3 15
Bicarbonate HCO3 * they do not test for this and do not use any bicarb for water modification - His comment was that it should be low. I am south of Boston so maybe I should use 10 ppm as I have seen for their water profile.
PH 7.5 **tested daily and 7.5 is their target.
Thanks All
I assume you're an AG brewer? Your water should be able to be used in the mash as is for about a 14 SRM beer (amber ale, ESB, etc). You can add salts to the boil to bump up your calcium (50ppm minimum) with either gypsum or calcium chloride to get the chloride to sulfate ratio you want. As you've probably read, a lower chloride to sulfate ratio accentuates the hops while a higher ratio rounds out the beer.
I used the EZ Water calculator 2.0 to get 14 SRM as a good approximate SRM:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f128/ez-...-2-0-a-195940/
But they do test for bicarbonate. That's what alkalinity measures (though indirectly. If the pH of the water is less than about 9 (and it is) all of alkalinity is due to bicarbonate in potable water. Take the alkalinity and divide by 50 (15/50 = 0.3) and then multiply by 61 (.3*61 = 18.3). That, 18.3, is the bicarbonate ion content of your water.
As to the water in general it can be used to brew a whole range of beers from very light in color to stout. The main exception would be lagers that use noble hops as the sulfate is a little high for that. Sulfate can be reduced to levels low enough for those beers by a simple 1:1 dilution with RO or DI water. For beers in which sulfate hop character is desired, by contrast, the sulfate is low so you might want to add a tsp of gypsum per 5 gallons for beers like that to start. The calcium is low and you would probably do well to boost it by adding a tsp of calcium chloride to each 5 gallons of water for most beers. Again, some lagers, in particular Bohemian Pils, are made with very soft water and you wouldn't do calcium supplementation for those.
You water fits under the description of "soft" in the Primer in the stickies. Therefore, the general guidance in the Primer applies to your water.
Thank you both for the replies!
I am gearing up for all grain but I do partial mash sort of like the deathbrewer stovetop method. I have a fair sized pot so I can do about 5 lbs of grain.
Thank you for the link to the EZ calculator.
That's a nice calc for the bicarbonate Ill change my value to 18.3.
It seems I need to scour the forum for posted info and the primers.
I do appreciate the comments!!!
I think one of the best aspects of brewing is that even if you don't know every thing you can still brew good (sometimes great beer), and when your ready to make another step adding knowledge only helps the whole. Thank you for helping with my steps.
In addition to what I can find on the forum are there any books you would recommend?
For the other regions of the brewing world that have 'soft' water do commercial breweries make additions to their water or do they just use what they have?
I have had softened water to drink, my water definitely does not have that odd mouth feel. Does beer made with softened water retain that 'slippery' mouth feel?
Does your recommendation for British beers (Add 1 tsp gypsum as well as 1 tsp calcium chloride) include the sauermalz or should that be left out? Also I assume (yes I know thats often a mistake) these additions would be appropriate for American style light ales and IPAs.?.?
Yes, the British recommendation is the baseline (which includes 2% sauermalz and 1 tsp CaCl2.2H20) plus 1 tsp gypsum. One needs to be aware, however, that the base malts used in making ales (pale ale malt) usually have a distilled water pH as much as 0.15 unit lower than the base malts (Pilsner malt) used in making lagers. I really encourage people to obtain and use pH meters. Without there is got to be some uncertainty about these things.
Other questions:
Is the British recommendation suitable for American style ales and IPAs? I assume so too but I don't brew those styles.
Do soft water breweries add salts? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. In the traditional brews made at a particular location the general answer is "No". They learned to make the beer they could with the water they had. The water chemistry we take for granted today was not so widely understood in those days. Soft water generally makes better beer so that anyone who experimented with adding minerals to an available soft water supply would soon discover that this was not a great idea.
Books? Also no. There are lots of articles in magazines and on the net, however. But some are better than others and many contain some sort of bombshell. Most commonly this has to do with carbonate and bicarbonate as the chemistry of those is quite intricate if not complex but some also advance the notion that there is a strong correlation between beer color and the water chemistry it was made with (there isn't) and/or attach great importance to chloride/sulfate ratio which, while that may be justified in some cases isn't generally. Another common problem is with profiles for various brewing cities which the authors instruct you how to match (usually with a spreadsheet). The profiles are often not matchable (in the sense that the ion concentrations in them cannot exist in a physically realizable water).
It's just a difficult subject. I have been trying for 20 years to figure out how to simplify it and the best I have been able to come up with in that time is the Primer. I find it interesting, after all those years, that I'm getting a fair amount of positive feedback on it i.e. people are following it and reporting substantial improvements in their beers.
Does beer made with soft water have that funny mouthfeel associated with very low ion water? No. The stuff from the malt and fermentation mask that (not that it is really a flavor that needs masking but rather an un-flavor).
Again, thanks for the input.
I did a quick online brewery store search for PH meters. Do you have any recommendations? I know paying more doesn't always get you more. Are the PH and temp tools ok or is it best to stay away from something that's trying to do two things but may not do either well? The prices I am seeing ($30 to $80 ish) don't seem bad but it would be nice to avoid one or another if something is known to be a bad product.
So are you saying that the generalized additions are a 'quick fix' for the water and that a commercial brewery would alter there brewing methods to compensate for or utilize better the water they have to work with? Or do they avoid some styles due to their water and just brew with what they have and stick to what they can make well with it?
I will try your recommended additions. I have just put an IPA into a keg so I'll brew the same in the next few weeks and do a comparison of the two. Of course this will take a while as I think its at a good drinkable state at about a month and a half from brew day.
Bit of a bummer on the no books front - I guess I'll start another binder and do some searching, if you have any recommendations please post.

Ask any insulin pump trainer if he has ever seen a pump user with inadequate training and the first response is usually a sigh. "I always think of this sign I saw once that said, 'We fix $8 haircuts,'" says Ginger Such, RD, CDE, program director of the Indiana University Diabetes Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, after issuing the obligatory sigh.
Pump trainers tell tales of people who don't recognize climbing blood glucose levels as a sign that their pump may be malfunctioning — even after giving themselves several doses of insulin with it. Others know of people who have developed diabetic ketoacidosis — a life-threatening condition characterized by very high blood glucose — after ignoring a "low battery" alarm at bedtime or failing to check their blood glucose level after changing their infusion set to see if insulin was indeed being delivered.
"We've just seen too many people show up here without any training," says Karen Chalmers, MS, RD, CDE, an advanced practice diabetes specialist for nutrition and pumping at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Massachusetts. "They're in and out of emergency rooms with high blood glucose levels, low blood glucose levels… They have [only] one basal rate and [have had only] one hour of training. They go around bad-mouthing the pump, and the problem is not the pump; they just don't know how to use it."
A particularly alarming story was told by Stephen Ponder, MD, CDE, Director of Pediatric Endocrinology/Diabetes at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, who cared for a four-year-old boy airlifted to a hospital at 4 AM because he was having seizures from a low blood glucose level. Dr. Ponder summarized the child's situation as follows:
- The child's HbA1c level was 10.2%. (The American Diabetes Association's [ADA] recommended target HbA1c level for most people with diabetes is less than 7%, and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist's is 6.5% or less. The higher the HbA1c, which is a measure of blood glucose control over the previous 2–3 months, the higher the risk of diabetes complications.)
- The child's mother didn't understand that he needed bolus doses of insulin at mealtimes, believing that the pump would meet all of his insulin needs.
- The pump's "auto off" feature, which was activated, was turning the pump off frequently because boluses weren't being given.
- The mother didn't know about carbohydrate counting.
- The child was routinely having serious low blood glucose during the night and high blood glucose during the day because of incorrectly adjusted basal insulin infusion rates.
That one incident prompted Dr. Ponder to submit a resolution to the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) Annual Leadership Forum focusing on the need to develop guidelines for the proper training of families of children with diabetes who were considering insulin pump therapy. His resolution, with some modifications, was accepted in August 2005. While physicians are under no obligation to adhere to policies set forth in resolutions and position statements, "Plaintiffs' attorneys love to use them during depositions," says Ponder.

Rugby: England beats Kenya to win Wellington Sevens
(AP) -Sam Edgerley scored a try in extra time to give England a 24-19 win over Kenya on Saturday in the final of the Wellington Sevens, the fourth round of the International Rugby Board's World Series.
England turned around a dismal season when it scored twice late in a tense final to deny Kenya its first ever victory in a World Series tournament.
Kenya, who shocked defending champion and World Series leader New Zealand to reach the final, rallied from 12-0 down during the first half to lead England 19-12 with time up on the clock.
But, reduced to only five men by two yellow cards, Kenya conceded a try to Christian Lewis-Platt which tied the scores on full time and was then denied by Edgerley's match-winner in overtime.
The final set the seal on a tournament punctuated by massive upsets. England set the tone when it beat New Zealand, first-placed in the world standings, in the opening round of pool play on Friday.
New Zealand managed to rally with wins over Spain and the United States to reach Saturday's quarterfinals of the top-tier Cup competition. But France and Fiji, respectively second and third in the world standings, both suffered two losses in pool play and were relegated to the consolation Bowl competition, Fiji for the first time in the 14-year history of the World Series.
Nor did Fiji's woes stop there. It was beaten 28-19 by Canada in the Bowl final to leave Wellington without any silverware and with its worst-ever result on the world circuit.
Upsets continued throughout Saturday of the tournament and the season came when Kenya beat New Zealand 19-14 in the Cup semifinals, achieving its first-ever win over the world champions. England beat Samoa 21-19 to capture the other place in an unexpected final matchup.
England's momentum continued when it scored early tries through Dan Norton and Lewis-Pratt to claim a 12-0 lead as Kenya struggled in the unfamiliar final atmosphere.
But Kenya settled, then rallied, scoring tries through veteran Horace Otieno and Oscar Ouma to tie the scores 12-12. Rising star Willy Ambaka then broke away to score an outstanding solo try in the final minute of the first half and to give Kenya a 19-12 lead at the turnaround.
That score persisted through a second half which was notable for stifling defenses and the obvious and growing fatigue of both teams.
Kenya was in sight of its first-ever tournament victory when its captain, Andrew Amonde was sin-binned for a professional foul, and Ouma followed Amonde only a minute later, leaving it with five men.
England couldn't help but capitalize on that numerical advantage and Lewis-Pratt scored to tie the match at 19-19, forcing it into extra time.
Kenya still had only six men in extra time and England took advantage for a second time when Edgerley, in only his fourth World Series tournament, scored the winning try.
"That was incredible," England captain Tom Powell said. "The atmosphere was incredible, the Kenyan team were incredible.
"The physical limits were pushed beyond today and it was amazing for the boys to come through like that after the year we've had. It just shows the determination and how we've pulled together as a team."
New Zealand beat Samoa 17-7 to finish in third place and to retain its overall series lead ahead of next weekend's fifth-round in Las Vegas.

Companies Mentioned
Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2014 / Eastfield Resources Ltd. ("Eastfield") (TSX-V: ETF) would like to announce that in September and October of 2013, exploration continued at the Indata property. Indata, encompassing 3,169 hectares, is located approximately 130 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia. The property is road accessible and fully permitted. It is owned 91.1% by Eastfield Resources Ltd. and 8.9% by Imperial Metals Corporation (TSX: III).
Over the last three years programs conducted by Eastfield have included geochemical and geophysical surveying (21 line kilometres), rock sampling and 3.2 kilometres of road construction and have resulted in the definition of a number of anomalies, both geochemical and geophysical, for copper and gold. A porphyry copper target has been developed measuring 6,000 metres along strike with apparent widths of 500 to 1,000 metres paralleling a volcanic intrusive contact. It is defined by a chargeable induced polarization response and by very high soil copper values where values exceeding 500 ppm copper are common reaching a maximum of 7,771 ppm. In 2012 mineralized rubble was identified in this target several kilometers further south than previously known with additional samples found in 2013. Samples of this material have returned assays up to 0.78% copper and 0.21 g/t gold
The Indata claims are situated in a geologically active setting adjacent to the Pinchi Fault, a major structure separating the Cache Creek Terrane to the west from the Quesnel Terrane to the east. Two types of mineralization have historically been explored for on the property; Motherlode style gold-silver veins and porphyry style copper mineralization. Drill intercepts have included gold intercepts to 47.26 g/t gold over 4.0 metres and porphyry copper intercepts to 0.20% copper over 145.4 metres (included with many lesser intercepts). Indata is located 20 kilometres to the Southwest of the Kwanika Copper-Gold deposit belonging to Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SIR).
Eastfield is well funded and currently is planning exploration programs for the 2014 exploration season which will be announced when plan are complete.

If you were planning on having a quick pint tonight, then this will be welcome news.
Beer may contain a vitamin which can fight obesity and improve muscle strength, scientists claim.
The 'miracle molecule', which has been found in milk and may also be present in beer and some foods, has no side effects and could even lengthen lifespan, they say.
The snag is that the molecule, called nicotinamide riboside (NR), is extremely small, difficult to find and expensive to synthesise.
Johnan Auwerx, head of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale in Lausanne, Switzerland, said experiments using mice revealed the molecule's potential.
In an article in the specialist journal Cell Metabolism journal, Mr Auwerx called the results 'impressive'
'NR appears to play a role in preventing obesity,' said Mr Auwerx.
Working with Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, his team found mice on a high-fat diet that were fed NR gained significantly less weight – 60 per cent – than mice eating the same diet without NR supplements.
And none of the NR-treated mice had indications that they were developing diabetes, unlike the untreated mice.
Mice which were fed NR supplements over a ten-week period had better endurance performance than those who were not.

My original due date was Aug 24th but after my AS, it is now Aug 14th. I have been constantly measuring for around the 14th since my second dr's appt and after my AS they officially changed my date. I am happy about it since hopefully it means that my LO will be here earlier:)
so with my first i went from dec. 20, to feb. 3rd, to jan. 30 and then to jan. 27- she was born jan. 13.
with my second i was due may 15, may 13, and may 9th, he was born may 2.
this time around i have been due sept. 10, sept 9, sept 7, sept 6... now looking at sept 2 and my ultra sound will be in mid april- so i am very sure it will change again. which wouldnt be bad bc i will NOT miss my youngests first day of kindergarten!!
Cassie730:JHS16:Am I the only one who doesn't know what AS is? It is supposed to be ultrasound? Sorry, I'm just confused.
Anatomy Scan. It's the u/s usually done around 20 weeks which is long (like 45 min) and they take good pics of legs, arms, heart, head. Measurements of the whole baby and you usually learn the sex. Otherwise known as the "big u/s"
Oh thanks! I looked in the Bump glossary and it wasn't there.
My doctor told me that after my first US (9 weeks) they wouldn't change the due date, even if baby measured bigger or smaller at a later date. Is it common for your EDD to be changed based on baby's size? How accurate was either due date if you're a second time mom that had the date recalculated?
Lissa832:Did you have a dating scan done? If you did, and they are changing your edd, then I think they are being irresponsible. If they based your edd off your LMP, I can see why they'd do this. With DS, he measured almost three weeks bigger at my anatomy scan. I delivered him at 39 weeks. If they would have adjusted my edd based on the AS, I would have been induced at 36-37 weeks because they would have thought I was past my edd.
Good point.

The Toddler Program: 18 to 36 months
Dr. Montessori recognized that toddler aged children absorb great amounts of knowledge from their environment quickly and effortlessly. The Montessori toddler classroom is thoughtfully prepared to foster the growth of this unique period of time and is a nurturing and rich learning environment.
Children's House: Ages 3 to 6
The Pre-K environment, first and foremost, is a "children's house": a calming and respectful space that belongs to the children in scale, proportion, flow, comfort, safety, and inspiration. It is a hands-on, interactive, sensorial environment that "calls" to them. It is a place "of grace and beauty". It is here that the seeds of literacy, numeracy, care of self, others and the environment are sown. Both the practical and wondrous are offered in response to the child's innate striving toward independence, toward the desire and ability to "do it for myself".

Brush Up On Paintball
"Hey, you wanna play paintball?" my brother inquired in 1989. Soon after, we hosted our first game with approximately 25 people from a local church at Pleasant Vineyard Ministries (PVM Camp) inCamden,Ohio. The sport was still in its infancy, and the paintball markers were antiquated compared to today's highly engineered markers. That day we experienced a game that could be utilized as a revenue-generating conduit for the camp, and as a way to positively impact youth and adults through the … Continue reading

A Harmonious Arrangement
On any given day during the summer, a trumpet call echoes through the forest on the mountainside; its clear tone captures the attention of both man and beast. No, it's not the bugling elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, but it does fit right in with nature and the rustic setting at Rocky Ridge Music Center. Founded in 1942 by pianist Beth Miller Harrod, the music center has a rich history as one of the oldest residential music programs in the … Continue reading

Popper Safety Feature Also Saves Money Cincinnati, Ohio—The auto shutoff feature that changed small poppers is now available in kits for up to a 14-ounce kettle size, including the Citation and Pop-A-Lot Poppers. Operators can rest assured knowing their machine will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of idle time, and it re-sets each time a batch of fresh corn is popped. The feature also amounts to reduced energy costs and an extended kettle life. For more information, call (800) … Continue reading
Past and Present Meet at Bart's Water Sports North Webster, Ind.—In 1972, with a love for competition water skiing, Indiana University graduate Bart Culver rented an old farmhouse and began selling Cypress Garden and Maherajah skis. With a promise to ship within 24 hours (a relatively new concept at the time), Culver's enterprise steadily grew. The booming business moved to a second location in 1976, and then into its current 42,500-square foot distribution facility in 1994. In celebration of its … Continue reading
The Guide
The man with the bushy sideburns coaching the team in the mismatched uniforms was on to something. Years later, we would call it emotional intelligence, but at the time, it was simply considered weird, or worse, countercultural. Regardless, Lynn Sweet's English students, and then his baseball team, experienced other-worldly success. Despite his unusual tactics (optional practice, blaring music in pre-game warm-ups, kid-supplied line ups, and so on), his success kept him in place, buying him more and more rope till … Continue reading

Charles & Debra Calligan v. Vermont Mutual Insurance Company
The insured requested a hearing following receipt of a notice of homeowners insurance cancellation citing an animal with a bite history. At hearing, the company maintained that the insured's dog presents a liability exposure increase because of an incident. It was established that the injured party has not submitted a claim for the injury.Held: For the insured. Title 24-A M.R.S.A. § 3049(9) permits an insurer to cancel a policy for a loss occasioned by a dog bite unless, after notice of cancellation or nonrenewal is received, the insured removes the dog. Although the insureds agreed that their dog bit someone, the person has not pursued a claim against them for the injury. Therefore, no loss triggering grounds for cancellation occurred.

Lee Cataluna, above, has added "novelist," to her list of expressive roles. We already know her as a newspaper columnist, newscaster, playwright, and comedy writer.
I'll continue my conversation with Lee tomorrow night (Tues., Dec. 13, 7:30 pm) on PBS Hawaii's Long Story Short. In this episode, she explains why she chose to write her first novel from the point of view of a man--a hapless ex-con trying to pull his life together from his sister's living room. The book, which is dark and funny at the same time, is Three Years on Doreen's Sofa. Lee wrote it in pidgin, which is a spoken langugage. She writes pidgin in a way that makes it easy to read as well.
Before we started talking, she wasn't sure how much she was going to share of her personal life. But she did choose to speak publicly for the first time about losing a child and her own brush with death.
Lee, recognized for her ongoing commentary on local culture in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, has moved to California, where her husband, Jim Kelly, works as a newspaper editor. (He was a casualty of the shutdown of The Honolulu Advertiser.) She has returned periodically to Hawaii--to teach summer classes at private Island School on Kauai, for example. I caught up with her on a Honolulu visit to debut her novel here. She says she is fiercely homesick, but at this time she must be an economic refugee.

Excerpted from: Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram, #16
"That idea has sunk very deep into your unconscious – that you are not deserving, that you are utterly worthless. Naturally, the best way is to get away from yourself. Everybody is doing it in different ways: somebody is running for money, somebody is running for power, somebody is running for respectability, somebody is running for virtue, saintliness.
"But if you look deep down, they are not running for anything, they are running from. This is just an excuse, that somebody is running after money madly; he is deceiving himself and the whole world. The reality is that money gives him a good excuse to run after it, and hides the fact that he is running from himself. That′s why when he accumulates money, he comes to a point of tremendous despair and anguish. What has happened? That was his goal; he has achieved it – he should be the happiest man in the world.
"But the people who succeed are not the happiest people in the world, they are the most miserable. What is their anguish? Their anguish is that their whole effort has failed. Now there is no more to run after, and suddenly they are encountering themselves. At the highest peak of their success they meet nobody else but themselves. Strangely enough, this is the fellow they have been running from.
"You cannot run from yourself. On the contrary, you have to come closer to yourself, deeper into your being, and to drop all the condemnatory tones that have been handed over to you by everybody you have known in your life. The parents, the husband, the wife, the neighbors, the teachers, the friends, the enemies, everybody is pointing to something that is wrong in you. From no source comes any appreciation.
"Humanity has created a very strange situation for itself in which nobody is at ease, nobody can relax, because the moment you relax you face yourself. Relaxation becomes almost a mirror, and you don′t want to see your face because you are so much impressed by the condemnatory opinions of others." Osho
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:

December 17, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - No, the U.S. will not be building a Death Star. And no, President Obama isn't deporting CNN's Piers Morgan or letting Texas secede.
These are just a few of the wacky notions the White House has had to address as part of its effort to promote open government.
Now the Obama administration is upping the threshold for an official response, from 25,000 signatures to 100,000. It's a reminder that government by the people can sometimes have unintended consequences.
Some of the petitions address serious issues, like judicial reform and gay rights. Others are sillier, like banning baseball bats or giving Vice President Joe Biden a reality TV show.
The White House says the program has attracted tremendous interest and gives Obama a chance to engage Americans on important issues.

Our recent trip to Denver was great. Frontier Air out of Nashville, TN has always provided a great flight experience. The staff at the desk is helpful and pleasant. Flight attendents were a blessing during boarding. Seats are a little tight (we're not big folks) but fine for short flights. We were fortunate, our trip was planned before the Christmas rush. Price was good, a little icey getting to the airport, but no major delays or weather issues.

In every one of its designs, Cattelan Italia's guiding philosophy is that furniture should enhance the feeling of serenity and harmony in a home.View other products from Cattelan Italia

By July 2012, NATO officials expect to have established three new agencies as part of a major reform effort that will reduce the number of agencies from the current 14. NATO now is in the process of implementing agency reform, as well as overhauling its command structure.
Members of the U.S. military community are ensuring that some good comes out of the catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti in January 2010 by creating a response package that will improve rescue efforts during similar future events. Rather than assembling capabilities that troops can take with them when leaving for humanitarian assistance missions, the new offering will be predeployed and ready for action sooner. In the end, aid should be available more quickly, and U.S. partners should be better equipped to take care of themselves or lend a hand.
Joint and coalition relationships that begin long before forces meet on the field have become a cornerstone of defense policies and officials in the military's cybersecurity training arena are working to make sure the same holds true in the newest battlespace domain as well. Troops from the various armed forces branches already are attending education courses together, no matter which service sponsors the class, and in some cases coalition partners also are participating.
The combatant command that propelled U.S. military transformation now is in the midst of a revolutionary transition of its own. U.S. Joint Forces Command, scheduled to be disestablished by the end of August, is making this journey led by its commander, Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, USA. Gen. Odierno is applying the tactical expertise he gained while leading U.S. troops in Iraq from combat to sustainment operations to the portentous task of evolving his command into a completely new organization. Guided by the plans he and his staff developed, the general now is executing the implementation stage to make the transition as smooth as possible.
The new leader of U.S. Defense Department joint experimentation is setting the priorities for upcoming joint and coalition operational concepts based on requirements that warfighters in Afghanistan and Iraq have identified. Although U.S. Joint Forces Command is slated to be disestablished, today's J-9 is looking 10 to 15 years out, not only designing gee-whiz technology but also creating doctrine for fighting in future conflicts. One crucial concern is addressing problems the military will face if conflict arises in an area with limited access that is in close proximity to the war zone.
CWID 2010 has continued its tradition of showcasing innovative technologies in an active, joint scenario. Participants now "play and learn" in a realistic environment modeled after the combat theater of Afghanistan. While some believe CWID has outlived its usefulness, others advocate its importance to joint operations in the international arena. What's your opinion?
The U.S. Joint Forces Command has released a new Joint Operating Environment to address changes in trends and situations that will influence joint forces in their missions of domestic and world security. This release includes several topic areas such as the global economic situation not covered in the 2008 version. It also expands on areas that authors felt needed more attention such as cyberthreats.
Some U.S. troops are finding their home bases a little more diverse than in the past. Various posts around the country are transforming from geographically close but military-branch separate bases into single, larger, joint-service locations. This arrangement reflects the morphing of military missions to joint operations. It also saves the U.S. Defense Department needed funds while continuing to provide the same services to warfighters and their families.
A joint capability technology demonstration project currently underway is literally clothing U.S. soldiers and Marines in computers and placing them in virtual scenarios. The program is upping the investment in modeling and simulation developments—traditionally focused on land and air vehicles—to better reflect current operational needs. It aims not only at augmenting traditional training methods but also at determining the most effective ways to reach and teach the newest generation of warfighters.
A simulation exercise is providing U.S. military personnel with vital operational skills before they deploy to East Africa. Designed to provide headquarters staff with the knowledge and experience they will need to operate in a politically complex theater, the event models real situations such as disasters and humanitarian crises.
