Mary Ellen Matthews: It's Saturday Night!
SNL staff photographer Mary Ellen Matthews does the photography equivalent of herding cats every week as she makes cool, quirky and creative images of the show's guests
Matthews is fortunate, she says, to work with subjects who are generally willing and cooperative. Because they have agreed to be a part of SNL, they tend to be open to the process of the shoot and somewhat less likely to reject the photographer's concepts out of hand.
"Nothing is ever really out of bounds, ever," she explains. "There's a looseness to it. An 'okay, let's do it!' kind of thing. I try to do research before the shoot and get some ideas and try to keep it new and fresh each week. I work with a stylist, and I present some tear sheets or books and ideas, and I'll certainly work with the stylist to come up with where we're going."
The "just do it" attitude is also influenced by the schedule of the production; subjects must feel it, too. There's no time to waste when working in live TV, and the stills are no different.
"My goal is to make it as quick and as easy as possible," says Matthews of her portrait sessions. "They're here to host a show, so I try to make it 'I'll fly under the radar' week. If it's on Tuesday, we'll have a couple of hours. Today [with the Dave Matthews Band and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ] was very quick, maybe 40 minutes with Joseph to do four or five different looks. I've got to say, it's the best training anyone could possibly have. I can make something happen so fast it will make your head spin."
Actor Paul Rudd |
"I don't feel any pressure at all to be anything," she says. "I feel comfortable in what I do for the show. The only pressure I feel is to keep it new. The challenge that I have is that because we're in high definition, the ratio is 16x9, and to put a vertical person in a horizontal space gets difficult. It gets a little frustrating. So [I'm just] trying to come up with different sorts of positionings and orientations and just kind of looking at it differently, if I can, week by week. Just trying to keep it fresh."

Latest Gastrulation Stories
The evolution of worms, insects, vertebrates and other "bilateral" animals from less complex creatures like jellyfish and sea anemones with "radial" symmetry may have been facilitated by the emergence of a completely new "operating system" for controlling genetic instructions in the cell.
About seven days after conception, something remarkable occurs in the clump of cells that will eventually become a new human being.
An international team of scientists using a new X-ray method recorded the internal structure and cell movement inside a living frog embryo in greater detail than ever before.
Classical X-ray radiographs provide information about internal, absorptive structures of organisms such as bones.
An embryo is an amazing thing. From just one initial cell, an entire living, breathing body emerges, full of working cells and organs. It comes as no surprise that embryonic development is a very carefully orchestrated process—everything has to fall into the right place at the right time.
Scientists have found that the gut endoderm has a significant role in propagating the information that determines whether organs develop in the stereotypical left-right pattern.
Avian embryos could join the list of model organisms used to study a specific type of cell migration called epiboly, thanks to the results of a study published this month in the journal Developmental Dynamics.
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC), Berkeley, have successfully attached imaging probes to glycans – the sugar molecules that are abundant on the surfaces of living cells – in the embryos of zebrafish less than seven hours after fertilization.
Clusters of mouse embryonic stem cells called embryoid bodies more closely approximate true embryos in organization and structure than previously thought, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

I never played the PS3 version of this game. So the PS4 version is my first experience with this game. I figured I'd start off playing from the HARD difficulty level. I've been playing for about 5 hours or so, but I'm going super slow because I check EVERYWHERE for supplies. Not to mention that I almost always walk around crouched everywhere so I don't inadvertently announce my presence to the infected.
I just met the guy that booby-traps his own town. That's where I left off, in his bar.
My question is, is this game considered an adventure game? Because there are long sections you continually go through where there aren't any enemies. I suppose it adds to the tension because you don't know where the enemies are. But aside from the clicker sections and scripted areas, I haven't come across many enemies in the wild.
Does it stay at this pace or does it get more action oriented further along? I'm not complaining at all. I'm just curious. I like the game so far but wouldn't say it's awesome just yet. It looks absolutely GORGEOUS though.

Below is a link to an exterior shot of our home(it was last Christmas so there is snow in the shot, but I think you can still see it). It is very 70's/80's with cream colored siding at the top with brown shutters and brown stone at the bottom, and the second floor "sticks out" about a foot farther than the first(hope that makes sense). Money is an issue, as we are also going to be working on the inside as well, but do realize that it will take a sizable amount. We keep getting stuck on what to do, though. I've tried using computer programs to draw it up but haven't had much luck. Can anyone here give me opinions on what some of our options would be?
Thanks in advance, Jennifer |

Follow-Up Postings:
Your house looks like a Christmas card, I don't see what you don't like about it. We just finished completely changing our exterior from wood to stucco and from wood roof to tile, and changed all the doors and windows from aluminum sliders to gorgeous wood ones. I can tell you that an exterior change is horrendously expensive, so if money is tight I would recommend you spend your money inside the house where you get more bang for the buck. Do you want to change the style of the house or the colors? Are you considering getting rid of the stone? |
The addition of a roofed front porch could go a long way toward enhancing the curb appeal of your house. Nothing too elaborate, but perhaps a simple gable with a handsome, well-proportioned column at each front corner. You might also think about replacing the upper floor windows with some that more harmonious with those on the ground floor. An architect could probably sketch something out for you very quickly for a very modest fee. You wouldn't necessarily need elaborate plans if you have a good builder and if your local planning department didn't require precise drawings. Architects have an eye for proportion, which should be an important consideration. You'd want a porch addition to be properly scaled. What colour is the roof? Darkening the paint on the upper floor with a colour that harmonizes with the dark stone and the roof would tend to give the house a more grounded look and pull it together. As it is now, the second floor kind of looks like it's hovering above the ground. Finally, the little topiary balls along the foundation do little to make the house settle into its surroundings. They would be fine along either side of a front walk, but a better choice for foundation plantings would be some shrubbery in more natural forms at various heights. Good foundation plantings can dramatically alter one's initial impression of a house and give the place a look of being more nestled into the landscape. Have you thought of adding some trees to your front garden? Trees have a way of making houses look more established and always lend a certain grace. Your house is very appealing, but I think you're right, a little tweak here and there will enhance its appeal. Hope this helps. James |

AMERICA/COLOMBIA - Strong condemnation of the attack committed by the FARC, that declare a truce for Christmas
Cali (Agenzia Fides) - The Archbishop of Cali, His Exc. Mgr. Dario de Jesus Monsalve, expressed his strong condemnation with regards to the attack carried out by the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) in the municipality of Inza, in the area of Cauca (Colombia), on the morning of 7 December, which caused 9 deaths and 48 people were injured, in addition to the destruction of a police barrack and a dozen shops.
The population of Inza immediately visited the scene of the attack by bringing candles to pray for the dead (5 soldiers, a policeman and three civilians, according to the official report). "Many of the military and the police are not from here. They come from far away to carry out a security service. We cannot leave them alone", said a man who had gone there with the whole family.
While the news of the attack appeared in the media in Colombia, in Cuba, where peace talks are being held between the Colombian government and the FARC, a publication of a joint statement was postponed. In fact, the government withdrew its approval of the declaration because of this terrible act of terrorism. Some observers point out the urgent need to recognize the presence of subversive forces and other counterinsurgencies, and in any case there are attacks that do not consider the consequences on the civilian population.
In the meantime the media inform that the FARC has declared a 30-day truce for the Christmas period, starting from December 15. This decision was taken just after President Santos spoke to the nation , promising to "give no respite to the guerrillas, so they will not have a minute of peace and cannot perform acts such as these". (CE) (Agenzia Fides 09/12/2013)
- 2015-01-26 - We need leaders who are committed and not "deaf and dumb authorities" says Mgr. Epalza
- 2014-12-22 - Even from pain comes the hope of peace, the process continues
- 2014-12-18 - For Mgr. Falla Robles: "The unilateral cease-fire should take place without any conditions"

Scottish Friendly MoneyBuilder
£50.00 Cashback & A £25.00 Welcome Gift
Scottish Friendly's MoneyBuilder is a 15 year investment plan for people aged between 16 and 59, in which your premiums gradually increase each year for five years. Starting from £15 a month, it makes starting a regular savings and investment habit as painless as possible and gives you the chance to invest in treating yourself.
When you decide how much to start with, remember the higher premiums and start with an amount with which you are comfortable. If you cash in within the first 2 years, you get nothing back. After the first 2 years, the payout may be lower than the amount you've paid in. In some circumstances, Scottish Friendly may have to apply a Market Value Reduction (MVR) when you close your MoneyBuilder, which could result in a smaller payout.
Scottish Friendly deducts tax from the growth on your MoneyBuilder money so you won't have tax to pay when your plan ends. Please note that tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and the levels and basis of taxation may change in the future.
Start investing today and you'll enjoy £50.00 cashback & a £25.00 gift voucher when you have paid a minimum of 4 monthly installments into your plan.

Spotted this place down an alley and popped in for an early afternoon beer. It was understandably quiet, but really liked the setting, and the bar staff were fun and friendly. One of the more cozy places we tried when in Munich for the week.

"I have 15 month old twin girls and live in…"
I have 15 month old twin girls and live in Cardiff. We found Amelia Trust around 3 weeks ago after my mum suggested it as a cheaper alternative for a day out. What a find!!!! It's a Methodist chariety based in the Vale. ( up the hill past M&S Culverhouse Cross and turn left after the Cottrill Park golf course )
There's a cafe run by volunteers, serving basic home fair, mugs of tea and coffe etc and free range produce. It's SO cheap, making it a must to have a coffee and a cake.
There no parking fee, no entry fee, no time limits and it's open dawn till dusk. Lots of green space, fresh air and a safe enviroment.
We were so taken with it we started a Amelia Trust Farm Friends page on Facebook for everyone to track their adventures. It's lovely! We noticed a notice advertising adopt an animal so we now have 2 pigs. It was v cheap to adopt an animal, makes it fun for the kids and helps the running costs so I can happily visit 24/7. Winner!
I have visited several times now on my own and it's a very enjoyable experience. Lots of good clean fun. Top tip, take a picnic there's lots of benches around the farm.Read moreLess1 person found this review helpful.

This is a lovely relaxed place to take your little ones on a sunny day. There is no charge for entry but donations are greatfully received and also greatly deserved.
You can see many famryard animals and also learn lots about animal husbandry in a beautiful setting in the welsh countryside

"A wonderful facility, run and funded by a Christian charity,…"
A wonderful facility, run and funded by a Christian charity, they charge nothing at all for entry, and the home made cakes etc in the cafe are laughably cheap, and very delicious.
Today we saw goats, sheep, donkey, pigs, geese, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, hens, guineafowl. In the past there have been cows too. Go in the spring an dthere are lots of baby animals to coo over too.
Plants and organic veg grown on site were for sale-very reasonable prices-and there were adverts for organic meat and eggs, though none for sale today.
The gardens have been planted beautifully, and there are lots of places to sit and have a picnic, and even BBQs set up for you to use, free of charge.
The play area is always busy, but has plenty of sturdy wholesome wooden apparatus, swings and a very fast slide.
A great half day out on a sunny day, and a good fresh-airy half hour in the winter.Read moreLess1 person found this review helpful.

The obvious point is that to call Zimmerman a serial racial profiler and that Martin was another victim of his penchant for profiling is crass race baiting. That's the wrong debate.
Read Whole Story
Here, on your 13th birthday, it's time for The Talk. No, not the one about the birds and bees. We've had that one. The other one-about what it means to be a young, black male in this country.
In the wake of the Zimmerman acquittal, I have been asking myself a hard question: If I want to be taken seriously when I say something is amiss that bothers me, how can I turn a deaf ear to the cries of others when they raise concerns of racial profiling and injustice?
The disheartening yet unsurprising result in the Trayvon Martin case has been the subject of incessant conversations with both French and American friends in France, where I am working presently. What has struck me in these discussions is how universal a tragedy the Trayvon Martin story is.
It is not only the lack of appreciation for the historical context that dulls people's understanding and analysis, it is also the fact that some people regard black aspiration in sports as a result of natural ability in athletics along with a concomitant lack of intellectual ability.
Three attributes, which are non-existent in many urban schools today, pervaded my school environment: a humanized educational environment; teachers who believed in us and expected us to learn; and punishment, which was not as a means to criminalize students for adolescent behavior.
We are committed to working with any and all individuals and organizations committed to stemming the tide of violence and combating the systemic challenges that threaten the lives of Black and Latino youth.
We forget that black youth have important ideas to offer during critical discussions about issues directly affecting their lives. Black youth voices are routinely rendered invisible. It's a dilemma that the documentary Woke Up Black addresses head-on.
While we mourn Hadiya and all the young people in Chicago who are the victims of gun violence, the Black Youth Project is still waiting for the president to comprehensively address gun violence in the city.
We can start with gun control legislation. President Obama is in his second term and now is in a position to take action. Public opinion is on his side. Let's put pressure on our legislators to make sure this happens.
The lost lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School have something to say to the entire nation, but especially to black America. We'll have blood on our hands if we miss this moment to protect the lives of inner-city youth who more than most are subject to random acts of violence and death.
Dunn claims he acted in self-defense, and that he felt "threatened" before opening fire on the vehicle. His attorney argues that Dunn "acted responsibly." He is now calling on a legal hook for his view that his actions were warranted: Florida's deeply misguided "stand your ground" law.
Booze and binge drinking -- it's the stuff hip hop videos are made of, along with a disproportionate number of advertisements African-American youth a...
Youth in general need support to be guided on a path toward becoming assets to their community. Black male youth are especially in crisis today and in dire need of such support.
Even if you weren't aware of Phoebe Prince, the story probably seems all too familiar these days. You feel a little sick to your stomach. You are stunned by yet another horrible story of virulent, unchecked bullying. What is happening in our schools? Our neighborhoods?
As the 2012 election approaches it is important to realize how young people of color are using new media to amplify their voices in the political realm. Are we prepared to embrace their innovation and support their engagement?
The young men who are groomed to epitomize hyper-superficiality have a generation of young women who are encouraged to select their mates based on what the person has financially and materially as opposed to who the person is on the inside.
Although having a single parent household may not be the most favorable situation, it is reality for a quarter of all kids in America today. Why shower them with negative statistics and lower their expectations and possibilities in life?
In 2012, with Stop & Frisk continuing unabated, it seems like the more we complain the more Commissioner Ray Kelly and his occupying forces conduct Stop & Frisk. And Latinos are disproportionately found within its web.
Today, the hardest and most painful part of my job as a mother is teaching my now nine-year-old son that others fear him for the color of his skin, and that their fear renders him vulnerable.
I do not want focus here on what young black boys need to do to avoid incarceration, death, and poor schooling. Rather, I want to focus on what we all must learn and understand about the black male experience in order to make sure there is not another Trayvon case.
I made Woke Up Black to document what Trayvon's story tells us -- how race can influence and override many other factors in determining the futures of African-American youth.
Red Tails, with its success at the box office, majority African-American cast and white main funder, invites a powerful conversation that all Americans should be engaged in.

Jamie Rapley is Tim Rapley's uncle, his father's brother. We are thankful to have received this piece for our records. We appreciate whoever sent it to us. We loved Jamie, he was a sweet man. He was a quiet man, but he had a lot of spunk. He always had stories to tell whenever we got together. He always made us some kind of meal even if it was spagetti or something. He was a kind man and loved his family. We loved him. He loved the view from his private place across from his house in the country. We are so glad to have known him; there aren't too many like him. Thanks, for letting us know. Love, Tim Rapley, Sr.

The staff at Terrific Massage & Wellness Spa, invites clients of all ages and conditions into the wellness spa for a tailor-made massage or skin treatment. The licensed massage therapists, utilize light to medium pressure during Swedish massage sessions, designed specifically to alleviate stress and encourage relaxation. Clients suffering from specific, localized pain might be better suited for a deep-tissue session, which might last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. Beyond massage, Terrific Massage?s staff administers relaxing mani-pedis and three kinds of facials, each beginning with a skin analysis and ending with a forehead-to-forehead victory bump. Brides-to-be can also stop in for a full makeup application on the big day.
Licensed aestheticians appease rowdy epidermises with custom facials surrounded by the antique and rustic décor of an intimate spa. Customers uncoil during a 50-minute classic European facial, as a visage diviner mixes up a tailor-made cocktail—calibrated to each skin type—that cleanses, exfoliates, and soothes with gentle wisps of steam. Next, a nourishing mask and moisturizer leave faces as smooth as a seal dressed in a silk bathrobe before firm hands massage necks, shoulders, and scalps, purging facial lymph nodes of harmful toxins. Alternatively, customers can opt for a hydrating/age-defying facial, which lasts up to 75 minutes, to restore dry or dull faces to a youthful sheen. Clinicians coat faces, collagen eye pads, and busts of Abraham Lincoln with a hydrating mask, focusing their smoothing acumen on ironing out fine lines and wrinkles.
At first blush, Millennium Medi Spa seems to suffer from a crisis of identity. On one hand, the med spa relies on the clinical expertise of its physician directors to rejuvenate clients' skin with advanced treatments. But one can't help but notice the tranquil, spa-like atmosphere and the profusion of treatments—mani-pedis, massages, hydrating facials—that seem rooted in relaxation more than anything else.
These two personalities converge seamlessly thanks to a staff that splits its focus between results and relaxation. Technicians beautify nails with scrubs, paraffin dips, and glossy coats of polish while aestheticians tighten skin and release toxins with body wraps. Similarly results-based procedures include chemical peels, dermal fillers, and vibradermabrasion treatments that reduce the appearance of fine lines and barnacles stuck to the face.
Veteran stylist William Edge wields 20 years of experience as a platform artist and world traveler to lead the staff at his eponymous family of salons, spread across Texas and Tennessee. At each location, teams brandish an arsenal of all-natural Aveda products forged from plants and environmentally friendly ingredients found across the globe. Equipped with such powerful conditioning and coloring supplies, they curtail unruly locks with shaping, shading, and retexturing services, and enhance radiant tresses with spa services, such as massages, facials, and makeup applications. Additionally, the salons' seasoned crew helps hone future stylists' skills at Prodedgy, its own training salon for emerging talent.

The law also implements other driver safety regulations and allows a doctor to alert the state when a patient might be a dangerous driver. This will no doubt lead to safer roads for all of us. | |

Another short story online for freeMy short story, "Beat Me Daddy (Eight to the Bar)" (which wasn't included in the collection, but is still a personal favorite of mine) was originally published in the print magazine Black Gate last winter.

Cyberpunk isn't dead. It has just lost some of its more superficial, passé punkishness (the leather jackets and the mirrorshades) and continues to evolve, rather than settling into the wax museum of old trends. The greatest challenge may be generational. Where Gibson and his fellows served as pioneers back in the 20th century, the real world is catching up and this century's cybernauts feel far more at home in the territory. But what IS "home" in a time of accelerating change and strangeness? In his first collection A PLACE SO FOREIGN AND EIGHT MORE, Cory Doctorow pursues that question through the wild twists and turns of past, present and future, equipped with the literary tools to make it matter.

A Tribe Called Quest – The Low End Theory
For this latest installment of CLASSICS WEEK 2014, Anthony Fantano takes on a quintessential jazz rap album: A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory.
Pusha T – "Lunch Money" (Video)
The spacey, otherworldly by Kanye West on Pusha T's latest single "Lunch Money" makes for the perfect antithesis to Push's boastful coke rap lyrics, and sets the Virginia emcee up perfectly to release a new album that will make him worthy of being solidified as a true leader of new millennium hip hop. The video is also a practice in ideas that might not at first seem to go together: as Pusha arrogantly mocks the competition, around him is a stripped down, barren, drug-riddled environment dominated by pop lockers and hood rich dope boy decadence. It's a simplistic and unexpected approach, but it allows the song to take center stage. And at this stage, that's exactly how it should be as "Lunch Money" makes hip hop heads salivate for Pusha T's next full-length project.

Various Artists – "Detroit vs. Everybody (Official Remix)"
I recently reviewed the new Shady XV compilation with Mr. Steven Francis, and I remember commenting on how much of a letdown the "Detroit vs. Everybody" cut was. While there were come decent verses on the track, the list of featured MCs seemed kind of limited. However, this new official remix fixes that in a big way. I mean, the thing is 16 minutes long, and features over ten rappers.
Really happy Shady saw fit to cast a wider net here, and I think the results speak for themselves.
Death Grips – "Inanimate Sensation"
Death Grips drop a new single to tease toward the second half of their yet-to-be-completed double album, The Powers That B.
Joey Bada$$ – "No. 99″ (prod. Statik Selektah)
What makes Joey Bada$$ such an interesting MC at the moment is, not surprisingly, his combination of youth and talent. This combination leaves us with a technically gifted rapper who is currently at the most crucial moment in his career. While he certainly deserves to succeed, there is always a chance that that simply doesn't happen–if you think he isn't smart enough to know this, diagram his internal rhymes and ask yourself that question again. The result? Joey is a with a highly skilled artist earnestly putting over 100 percent effort into everything that he does. On "No. 99," Bada$$ doesn't make it sound easy. He's consciously making what he's doing sound as difficult as possible. At the midway point, he swaps 90′s style New York delivery for off the wall Jah inspired rapping akin to Kendrick Lamar's recent style. All the while, he treats the beat as merely a suggestion for the ways his words should play with the time signature. Similarly, the 90′s Boom bap intertwines with the more modern bassline lurching behind it. We end up with a microcosm of Joey Bada$$ himself: reverent and irreverent at once. Yet all the while, he's unbelievably entertaining while he's making his statements.

J. Cole – 2014 Forest Hills Drive
Even after stripping back the hooks and instrumentals, and giving himself center stage, there isn't much outside of J. Cole's baseline technical abilities that makes him a compelling rapper and lyricist.
OG Maco – OG Maco EP
OG Maco EP Download via Datpiff
In a recent interview with The FADER, OG Maco called his newly-dropped self-titled EP "a culmination of every failure and lesson it ever took to achieve victory with my team, with my family and for the world." Moving past the drama and reflection, OG Maco is a commendable project, and at least somewhat surprising in the inventiveness with the trap-based production, if not wholly inventive or creative. Maco proves throughout the tape that there is a lot more than meets the eye in terms of what can be done with wild, unexpected screams, shouts and ad libs and relentless trap beats. "Been Thuggin" is one of the projects most powerful traps, as Maco reverts between being subdued and clever to wild and unpredictable, all the while riding a deep, 808-saturated beat that shakes walls and cracks windows. While "No Pressure" is a bit more hushed and dark, with Maco throwing in his own brand of arrogant sarcasm. Save a few dips here and there, OG Maco is an endless stream of energy, which keeps the momentum on his debut going. Especially on tracks like "CRU" and the true standouts "Heat" and "Seizure". Known for alternating between being savage one minute, chilled the next, and everything in between, sometimes on the same song, there's enough intensity throughout OG Maco to go around.

Lil Herb – "Knucklehead" (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
Oh, how the times haves changed. Corporate America, once hated by cool kids alike is now a factory producing some of the most interesting singles and collaborations that are happening today. Adult Swim and Redbull have embraced the notion of acting as enablers for young artistic minds to come together through sponsoring far reaching singles programs. Look no further than "Knucklehead" by Lil Herb featuring Earl Sweatshirt for proof of this movement's value. Earl's dark and jazzy production always seemed more suited to the cold streets of New York than the sun drenched suburbs that Odd Future squirm their way through. Here he teams up with Lil' Herb–who sounds a little too much like Joey Bada$$ for comfort–to explore this realm of hip-hop. The two blend together in the best way possible. I'd even wager that Earl sees how well his production works in this realm. He speeds up his traditionally uninspired–yet, technically impressive-delivery and seemingly gets carried away by the New York aggression he's witnessing.
If corporations are leading artists to make genuine artistic discoveries, all that I want to say then is long live capitalism!

The intent of this buy is to be held on a regular schedule. We do not have a minimum order to make so we can schedule this to happen on a regular timetable and that allows you to plan your buys to the way you brew instead of having to stock up like the old model forced you to. Some "info" and "rules" to go over: * If you want the price list, PM me your email address...otherwise you don't get it! * The pickup location is at 3 Stars brewery in DC * TBD but we are doing this either every month or every other month (based on demand) and based on the weekends that Mike works... * The pickup will occur the last Sat. of each month held * Pickup time is 10:30 AM and ends at 11 or 11:30 AM (TBD) * If you cannot pick up your grain, you MUST arrange with someone else to do so * All payment is via paypal and must be in by midnight Friday the week BEFORE the pickup * Splits are a PITA, but as long as someone is willing to manage them we will allow them (IslandLizard is managing them now) * If you suggest a split, you become the primary buyer and must pay me; everyone who gets a split from you will pay you * In the past we have had issues with some sacks not showing up or the wrong sacks showing up; be forewarned that this can happen, though this is a new supplier so hopefully it won't * The price list is given out by email so if you want it PM me with your email; no email, no list, no exceptions * The price list is private, do not share with others. Have them contact me. Do not discuss pricing on the forum. Do not give out the link. * When ordering please use a standard format, for example: 2 x Briess Pilsen 1 x Muntons Maris Otter 10# of Weyermann® CaraMunich I * ...and put it at the bottom of your post, away from text to make it stand out. In this example, the buyer is asking for 3 full sacks and to start a split of CaraMunich, of which he is taking 10 pounds. * If you are buying splits, please quote the primary buyers post as part of your request post to make it easy for us to see what split you are taking. * We currently create a very complete set of sheets that we keep on google drive with all the information about a buy. Please check it before asking questions. If it is not up to date, give us some time before posting. We do have real jobs, families, and we also like to brew from time to time... * The brewery has growler hours at 1PM; they cannot sell you a growler before that by law. Don't ask. * The brewery has a small homebrew store; PLEASE snag some hops, yeast, etc. to show your appreciation. I will add to this over time and make this a standard start to each buy. Feel free to start buying...yeah reddskinnfan, that means you.
From reddskinnfan, moved from the Buy #6 thread to here where it belongs so it does not get forgotten: I am already to put in a couple bags for the next buy and a few splits.
