Again, thanks to ccroulet for his directions and shared specifics about this species. I was unable to locate the bighorn sheep parkinglot population recommended by ccroulet, and if it's the place across the hwy from San Jacinto/Santa Rosa Mtn info center, I scoured the area and all gates to the trails were closed for the season. I'm still bewildered about identifying this species and I'm not quite sure if I really found Wand sage or these are S apianas or maybe even a hybrid population. Jepson just describes this species with flower clusters without stating 'clearly round' as described by J. Lightner in SD County Native Plants. I found these plants directly above the wash at the confluence of San Felipe and Grapevine Creeks in Anza Borrego. The inflorescense look very similar to S. apiana with 'spike-like clusters' with white w/purple speckled petals, much like those I've found at a much higher elevation at the foot of Granite Mountain (2800').
These plants were just beginning to flower and whether or not these plants are vaseyi, the hunt for and study of them was quite interesting. |
Here is a link that might be useful: S vaseyi
Follow-Up Postings:
The parking area is up the hill. It's just a little square. Look at the GPS positions I gave with my pictures. We got back from the Whipple Mtns. two days ago, and I noticed an S. vaseyi just uphill ("uphill" as per Hwy 74) from the big view turnout on Hwy 74. Would be within walking distance of the vista point. UPDATE: One of the S. vaseyi I photographed in 2008 was at 33.63234 N, 116.40409 W, elev. 2814 +- 26 ft. If you put this position into Google Earth, you'll land on the plant and you can see the parking area directly north of it. |

Yep, i think i have to return to the desert to hunt down vaseyi again. This swarm of salvias is most likely apiana. I doesn't resemble either your photos, ccroulet, or those in Lightner's book. Dang! |
The plants in your pictures are S. apiana. |

Send Catherine a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Catherine or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
If you or your student needs help in Biology, Middle School Science, or General Study Skills make the right choice-use a CERTIFIED Teacher!
I am a certified Biology teacher who has passed three state teaching exams (CT, MA, and TX). I am currently certified to teach Biology for students grades 7-12 in Massachusetts and Texas. I have taught science to grades 7-9 in the classroom and tutored students ages 5-18 after school.
I really enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them make lasting connections with the material they are studying. As a classroom teacher having to reach many different learners, I know how to modify curriculum to meet various student needs. I also know how to use data to assess your student's current areas of strength and weakness so we can be most efficient with our time. Finally, I LOVE science and enjoy sharing my excitement for the topic with my students.
In addition to tutoring students in the sciences, I also have experience working as a tutor for students needing help with study and organizational skills.
My education includes a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Connecticut and majors in biology and environmental science at The College of William of Mary.
Catherine was very accessible and quick to respond. She offered flexibility in her schedule since we had a last minute test prep and was punctual.
Catherine established rapport with my daughter very quickly. By the third session she was asking when she could have her tutor again.
I particularly liked that Catherine provided in depth feedback promptly after session by email. She also went above and beyond in researching how to best help my daughter prepare for a private school test and explained her opinion on my daughter's strengths and weaknesses.
Highly recommended.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a certified teacher for middle and high school but have tutored elementary students as well. As a certified classroom teacher for middle and high school, I know the importance of the foundational skills students must learn in elementary school to be successful in middle school and beyond. When students are in elementary school, they need to work on the memorization of key facts, which is often viewed as a chore. My goal as a tutor is to make learning fun. I love to use tools such as play-dough and coloring sheets to help my students engage in their learning.
I have worked with middle and high school ESL students in the classroom and one-on-one for the past 3 years. I believe I am successful with ESL students because I have had several personal experiences as a non-native speaker. In high school, I studied abroad for a semester in Germany. Additionally, my husband's family often speaks exclusively in their native language. These experiences have allowed me to empathize with ESL students. I am a very patient tutor and truly enjoy helping ESL students feel more comfortable and confident as they work on their English skills.
Genetics is a discipline of biology that focuses on the genes, heredity, and variation found in living organisms. As a Biology major at The College of William and Mary, I really enjoyed this course. As a certified science teacher, I have helped many students navigate this topic. Topics in genetics range from the tiny molecules that make up DNA to the proteins that DNA molecules code for. Proteins created through the transcription and translation process are used in a variety of ways by organisms and make up their visible characteristics. For this reason, genetics is appealing to those interested in biology at the microscopic level as well as the macroscopic level. I'd love to be your guide to this exciting subject.
As a certified teacher, I had to study for and take the Praxis exam. In addition to the Praxis, I have also passed the MTEL and TEA tests. I am happy to help other educators prepare for this test and share my experiences.
Study skills are so important to student success in any subject. I work with students to first find an organizational method that works best for them. Next, I help students break down the material from the eyes of an instructor. Finally, I stress the importance of time management and work with students to help them develop this skill.
This is one of the most important skills students can learn for school and life! As a teacher, I have witnessed very smart students perform poorly due to a lack of study and organizational skills. I enjoy helping students recognize the value of strong study skills and seeing their grades improve as a result of our work together. Let's set your student up for success today!

How to tell if a GM is whispering you {WoW}
Feb 5th 2010 2:41PM I've been getting alot of emails lately... I've never bought gold, never sold characters, never fell for a phishing scam...there so obvious sometimes. But I received an email about a month ago.
Your account has been suspended for 3 hours due to pending charges. I forget to exact wording but it looked pretty legit. Tho, what in the world could I have done to get my account suspended. SO I looked the email over, it had noreplay @ blizz(dot)com (yes it was blizzard, but don't want to put a link up for someone to click) and seemed pretty legit, I pride myself in trying to find the problems in these. BUT it was emailed to my old wow email account not my new battlenet account email. So I went to call Blizz and busy, busy, busy. I kept being skeptical so I finally thought well I better log in to see what's up. The link took me to a legit looking WoW login screen and I tried to login (via iPhone). Didn't work. SO then I called my brother who was online at the time and he said, all my toons where in the guild and nothing seemed to be missing. It even was on spot that I last logged out (Last logged in 5 hours ago.) So I knew it was a scam. I got on my comp and instantly reset my password and moved on.
This past Monday I received 4...FOUR! emails from this same address two the same and two different...very minor discrepancies in them like missing commas in some but no real typos. All saying my account was suspended or pending investigation. I just delete them now, but I don't want to block them, isn't blizz's email noreply @ blizz as well? Or is that a cover up to make me think it's legit? Is this happening to anyone else!?
You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry {WoW}
Jan 4th 2010 4:08PM I love running dungeons these days, for the most part people are pretty good on there roles. Healer heals, DPS kill, and I tank on my 35 Gnome Warrior.
Every now and then I get a fail group that, by the life of me, can't seem to get the picture. Yesterday I ran a dungeon with a druid/rogue duo. Apparently they were friends because they both felt the need to critique my tanking rotation and talent choices. Believe me I've done the research and I am picking the best talents I can based on some top tanks on my server. Also the druid felt the need to tell me to stop charging into mobs, that it wasn't necessary to do that because it doesn't accomplish anything... what I do is Battle Stance, Charge, as I'm charging hit my macro that switches me between Battle & Dstance so then I'm in Dstance before I even get to the mobs, giving me the advantage of having the mobs facing me away from the group and getting a quick Thunderclap off before some dps starts wacking before I have rage. Practically giving me a head start to avoid goofy dps. (Can't wait till I get the Warbringer Talent) Yes I know how to LoS pull, shoot the caster and duck around the corner. This was in SM: Library for goodness sake, you have to LoS pull in there! Charging and shooting both have there places, pros and even cons, don't want to pull two groups by being too anxious to just LoS pull. So anyways, the druid finally let up on that and the rogue decided he wanted to tank the hound boss. "Let [Rogue] tank him," says the Druid. I charge in, "Ok let's not then," says the Druid. I stated, "I'm here to level not watch people show off." The rogue begins to talk about how easy it is to tank for him. I say, "Yea it's so easy with your one move." (Evasion) He said, "HAHA, I dont need Evasion to tank here." I said, "Grats, you can tank a lowbie instance." He said, "Grats on being a douchebag." Well I was tanking two groups of mobs and a low health one was running away. I saw the douchebag comment and I was fed up. I then dropped group and smiled as I watched the load screen take me to IF.
I had been in several amazing groups, super easy and actually one dps stuck with me the whole time. I logged onto his server and asked, "How'd the rogue tanking go?" "Druid died, Rogue died, myself and Hunter lived, and I refused to rez them both." "Nerd-rage insued." He then immediately dropped group. I logged back onto my tank, Q'd up, and got a insta-instance. Man I love being a tank. :)
Breakfast Topic: How has Battleground experience been working out for you? {WoW}
Aug 31st 2009 10:09AM I've leveled my Death Knight strictly from 74 just in AV, and it's taken me less than 2-3 days to get 79, I def plan on hitting 80 today. The push from 77-78 in about 4 hours played time. Course this is on the ally side of things, I would imagine things would be alot slower on the Horde side in our battlegroup. Since we usually recap SH bunker and IW Bunker when we can.
And before I hear 74 in AV!! what! I usually was in the top few in damage dealt on the ally side, it might be a sad commentary on the 80s in those bgs, or a great commentary on how well I consider myself a part of the team. I usually guard IBT and TP, and am successful almost every time, even with Horde trying to recap.
Finally, I just want to point how proud I was to be a low level in AV, 9/10 times there were no 80s guarding IBT or TP, and if it wasn't for the random 7# - Ally would have never won any of those games. Props to the low level players who know how to play the real game, not just "pewpew galv..RUSH DREK!!!1one"

GMAC Study Sheds Light on 2009 MBA Job Market
Posted by: Louis Lavelle on February 5, 2010
Not to beat a dead horse, but the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) recently came out with a new survey of MBA alumni that does a terrific job of quantifying what by now has become an all-too-familiar reality: 2009 was a tough year to be a b-school graduate.
I won't bore you with all the details—you can check out the report yourself at the GMAC web site. But I will share a few highlights.
First, the big-picture number: when GMAC conducted the survey in September, three out of four graduates who earned MBAs from full-time programs in 2009 had jobs. GMAC views that in a positive light—GMAC's CEO Dave Wilson was quoted in the press release saying it's evidence of the "high value employers place on management education." But what it really shows is just what an equal-opportunity career killer this recession has been. When we reported on the placement records for Bloomberg BusinessWeek's top 30 full-time programs three months after graduation, those top schools had for the most part fared better than the GMAC average. But even among the top schools there were several that did no better, and a few that did a bit worse. Apparently even top tier schools are no safe harbor when the economy is circling the drain.
Another little factoid I found interesting was just how limited were the choices many b-school grads faced after graduation. We all know that the days of wine and roses (and a half dozen six-figure job offers) more or less ended the day Bear Stearns collapsed. But GMAC found that the number of job offers that many 2009 graduates received left them no choice at all—in fact for 56% of them, there was just one offer, up from 21% in 2008. Among women, the situation was even worse: 63% garnered only one offer.
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of 2009 graduates reported high levels of satisfaction with their new jobs—92% felt they made the right decision.
Since salaries actually declined somewhat (less than 1% to $79,271) and most graduates were not entertaining an abundance of choices, you have to wonder if having any job, even one you weren't planning on when you were writing those tuition checks, was enough to make everyone feel a little bit lucky. Dodging bullets will do that to you.

When Listening to Your Body Doesn't Work – Part 2
Posted By Mark Sisson On August 7, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Health,Personal Improvement | 64 Comments
As I wrote last week, we can't always trust what our bodies are telling us to do [7]. Our bodies send us a lot of other confusing and even misleading signals – but they don't always pertain to food. Any of our base physiological processes will manifest as messages, cravings, and desires. That's how the body gets us to perform tasks (like eating because of hunger, drinking because of thirst, and sleeping because of drowsiness), by creating physiologically-driven desires and motivations. In theory, these motivations match up with what's best for us in that given situation and improve our chances of survival. Our bodies mean well. When they tell us to do or not to do something, they're doing their best with the available information. If you place yourself in an evolutionary novel environment, your body is going to interpret the situation as best it can. When it perceives a high stress office environment with free coffee [8] on hand, or a world where doing nothing is a viable mode of subsistence, or the aforementioned bright lights in the dead of night, things get complicated and the signals can get a little screwy. Read on to find out how this can all play out.
Obviously, if you're awake-but-sleep-deprived because of excessive stimulant ingestion, you should go to sleep (or find a way to wind yourself down so that sleep is even possible), but that's not something most health-conscious MDA readers need to worry about. However, if you're reading this, you're a consumer of technology [9], of monitors and message boards and other avenues of electronic stimulation. That's fine, that's totally normal and unavoidable nowadays, but over [10]consumption of technology [10] can put us in a state of "tired but wired." You're sleepy, in that your body and mind are experiencing a serious sleep debt, but they don't know it. As a result, you're awake even though you should be sleeping. You're alert even as your adrenals near their breaking point. You're in the calm before the storm of impaired performance. You think you're okay – because you're not yawning left and right – but you desperately need sleep.
This is the body's way of keeping us alert in a state of sleep debt. Your adrenal glands are called into action to perform a valuable, albeit costly service. Now, if you were to tax your adrenals every once in awhile, like during an all-night tribal dance ceremony, a nighttime hunt, or while sneaking up on an enemy encampment in the dead of night. you'd be okay. Your adrenals are there to be called upon when you really need them. But if you do it every night, or for a flippant reason (are those 2 AM infomercials really worth it?), you're probably making a mistake. Your body won't tell you this, of course, because it's trying to keep you awake and alert since for all it "knows" you're engaged in some serious stuff necessary for your survival, but you should probably ignore those feelings, turn off the screen, and get to sleep just the same.
Everyone reading knows the feeling. You want to exercise [11], but you can't seem to muster the strength to get up out of the chair and go to the gym, line up under the squat rack, strap on your FiveFingers [12], or leash your dog for even a short walk. By all accounts, you'd like to exercise. You know it's good for you. So why don't you? You're not overtrained [13], because you haven't been training.
The physiological mechanisms behind exercise motivation are still being teased out, but there's at least one known "exercise motivation" hormone. A recent study [14] found that when scientists increased the levels of a brain hormone called erythropoietin in one group of mice, those mice chose to exercise more than a group of mice with normal levels of erythropoietin. The most oft-cited role of erythropoietin is to regulate the production of red blood cells, which is why an exogenous form of the hormone is classified as a performance enhancing drug; it increases the number of red blood cells, which allows more oxygen to be delivered to the muscles during a race. As to how your levels might drop, erythropoietin is produced in the kidneys, and renal failure is characterized by severe anemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by an erythropoietin deficiency (plus severe fatigue). Anemia makes exercise pretty hard, from what I understand.
When you finally do force yourself to go for that walk or lift that weight or run that sprint, you feel better, don't you? The remainder of the day is decidedly more pleasant, your food tastes better, your dealings with others run more smoothly, and when you do kick your feet up and rest, there is no omnipresent sense of guilt weighing heavily on your entire being. You feel better, and exercise ended up being a great choice, even though your body was telling you not to do it. We see this process displayed most prominently in clinical depression, a primary symptom of which is fatigue [15] – a total lack of desire for exercise, fitness, and movement of any kind. But what's one of the most effective ways to treat depression? Exercise. Depressed patients' bodies are literally telling them not to exercise, but when they finally muster the will to do it, they'll usually feel better [16]. And that's clinical depression. Imagine how just "feeling bad" (which also keeps you from wanting to exercise) can do the same.
The first thing many of us do when facing a stressful day at work or coming off a long night is head to the local cafe for a cup of something strong and black. Over and over again. And on some level, chugging coffee does "work." If you need to drive without falling asleep at the wheel, or stay awake long enough to take a final exam, or go to work and be somewhat functional and receptive to outside stimuli, then yes, having that coffee will help you. But when you make it a habit, or a crutch, you'll only make the problem worse.
The reason why is cortisol [17], the stress hormone. Coffee elevates it [18], so when you're stressed out, which already increases your cortisol, and you start pounding the coffee, you're going to compound the problem [19]. Some studies have found that only hypertensive and borderline hypertensive people have increased cortisol responses to coffee at rest, but everyone appears to get the coffee/cortisol effect when under psychosocial stress [20].
Since coffee actually acts as a mild stressor that's beneficial in moderate amounts (like a cup or two) at the right time [21] (in the morning after a good night's sleep), try to get a handle on your intake. Drink it "when you don't need it." Drink it when you're not stressed.
Humans are a naturally leisurely bunch [22]. We like (and need) sleep, play [23], and relaxation. These things aren't just pleasurable indulgences; they are vital to our physical and mental health [24] and well-being. Why, I just wrote about the pleasures of slow living [25] last week. From time to time, when it makes sense, it can be a supremely rewarding endeavor to do absolutely nothing at all, especially if you do so consciously.
But unmitigated, uninterrupted laziness? Sloth? The complete and utter lack of desire to hunt [26], gather, look for a job, learn something new, go for a walk [27], experience the world, or even use your brain [28]? This is not slow living. This is not "being here now." This isn't actually living at all. It's understandable, of course. We're hardwired to take it easy when the opportunity presents itself, because throughout our evolution, we needed to conserve energy as much as possible. We couldn't step into a supermarket and obtain every vegetable imaginable plus the most perfect cuts of meat without expending a lick of energy, as we can today (doubly so if we drive to the market). We had to fight, claw, trap, ensnare, and root around for our food. Even though we were hardwired to relax, those biological drives to obtain food, shelter, and water – to survive in the here and now, really – overrode our inclinations to be lazy. Today, we can be lazy and still secure food, shelter, and water, so it's all too easy to relax a little too much, too often.
It's not even that laziness is a sin. It can be an effective tool. I'm all for chilling out, and I'm not moralizing here. It's just that too much laziness is simply counterproductive to your well-being in a very utilitarian way. I look at it like I look at alcohol: If the urge to do nothing is negatively impacting your life and bringing you net unhappiness, you probably shouldn't do nothing anymore (English majors, please don't crucify me for that last sentence). Take an honest look at yourself and ask – should I really be listening to my body when it tells me to do nothing at all today?
Doing right by the innate physiological needs of a hairless, intelligent ape amidst rapid societal and environmental change is a big job. If your body is going to succeed, it'll need your conscious brain's help in deciding which messages should be heeded and which should be ignored. Together, I'm confident you can make the right choices and listen to the right ones.
So, any of these messages sound familiar? How have you dealt with them? Let me know in the comment section! Thanks for reading!

Foreigners escorted out of Cullinan
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Police were on Wednesday escorting foreign shop owners out of Cullinan, east of Pretoria, to protect them from protesters.
"Vehicles are being used to transport the foreign shop owners and their belongings out of Refilwe," spokeswoman Captain Melissa van der Merwe said.
"Police had to use stun grenades to disperse the protesting residents as they wanted to stop and attack the shop owners."
The protests started on Tuesday. Residents of Refilwe were angry after a foreign shop owner allegedly assaulted a 10-year-old child, who later died in hospital. The child was assaulted for apparently stealing sweets. Locals then looted shops owned by foreigners and barricaded the roads.
Earlier, a white Isuzu bakkie was trying to get out of the area and the occupants fired shots at protesters blocking their way.
"Luckily no one was injured or shot at," said Van der Merwe.
Police were monitoring the area. - Sapa

Q&A: R. Kelly - The Mind Of A Mad Genius
You've written for everyone from Michael Jackson ("You Are Not Alone") to Celine Dion ("I'm Your Angel"). How do you get in the mind frame to write for acts that differ so much from your style and sound?
I really know how to tap into certain characters and artists. Like when I did Michael Jackson, to prepare for writing ["You Are Not Alone"], I put all of his pictures on every wall in my studio. I had Moonwalker playing on all my screens. And I didn't listen to any other music but Mike's. I would ask, "What would Michael Jackson say?" Not what would R. Kelly say. And it just felt like Mike would say [Kelly does a spot-on MJ impression], "You are not alone, I am here with you, though you're far away, I'm here to stay..."
Now an example of you giving away material that seemed perfect for you is Maxwell's "Fortunate." When you were penning that song, did you think, Man, I might have to keep this one for myself?
No. And I'll tell you a quick little story about Maxwell. I had to actually talk him into taking that song. He really wanted to do another song on that Life [soundtrack] album; the title song that K-Ci & JoJo did for the movie. But I was like, "Nope, I don't believe you did one day of jail, ever." [Laughs]
"When a Woman's Fed up" is one of your finest creations. From where did you pull the line, "she was raised in Illinois, right outside of Chicago... some of the best cooking you ever had"?
I knew people would love it. My mother always told me if you write about life you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs... write life. I decided to take her up on that. That lyric is a part of real life.
NEXT: Does R. Kelly have any regrets? >>>

How to Set Up DFS Replication in Windows Server 2012 R2
DFS Replication is an effective way to replicate data between servers across a room or on the other side of the world. DFS Replication uses remote differential compression (RDC) to replicate only the changes in a file on a block by block basis instead of replicating the entire file. Consequently, replication is very efficient even across limited bandwidth connections.

This is really a spin-off of the recent post about stiff, scratchy towels (which I have in spades). I've googled everything I can think of, and have found multiple comments about my particular washer (Bosch Nexxt 500) not being the most effective at rinsing. I've been sitting and watching my washer for the last several loads of clothes and I'm coming around to thinking that poor rinsing might be behind my stiff towel problem.
So - do you have a detergent that you think rinses well? I have found that Tide is by far the worst rinsing detergent in my machine, as it even leaves my clothes stiff and scratchy - not to mention towels. Cheer non he powder and he liquid seem to both rinse really well. Costco Environmentally Friendly liquid doesn't seem to rinse very well. Vaska rinses very well, but I don't think it is "strong" enough for really dirty things. Any other suggestions? I am going to pay attention the next time I wash with Greenworks liquid and see how it rinses. Persil rinses really well, but costs and arm and a leg so I would like to avoid that if possible. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
For me, I find Clorox Green Works and Persil Color Gel to be the BEST performing and BEST rinsing detergents. I love them both! |
I've had good results with Sears powder HE detergent. I have switched to it from Tide and my towels are much much better. The only complaint I have about it is fading - I've noticed that darks (mostly my husband's polo shirts) fade a bit with it. So I've switched to Vaska for those. But I use the Sears detergent for all my towels and sheets. It's comparable in washing ability and rinsing to Dixan (Italian version of Persil). I always use Extra Rinse in my machine (LG front loader). |
STbonner, I also have the Bosch nexxt 500. Today I washed a load of towels with green works in hot perma press cycle with extra rinse and then I added the 15 minute Refresh cycle (no detergent) for extra rinsing and they came out pretty soft. I don't use fabric softner. Have you tried the refresh cycle for extra rinsing? It seems to me it uses quite a bit of water, more than in a normal wash cycle. |
chloe45, I don't have a Refresh cycle:( Maybe my machine is older (4 yrs). Anyway, I do have a quick wash, which is a 25 minute wash cycle. I will try that next as an extra-extra rinse. Do you think that the Perma Press cycle uses more water than the Cotton cycle? |
my machine is 3 years old. I do have the quick wash too. Mine has the ECO wash which at the time I bought was the newest model. There were still washers without the ECO wash for sale when I bought mine, so perhaps that is the model you have. Someone on this board suggested that the perma press used more water. I bought new towels about 6 months ago . If you notice on most tags they say to wash them in cold. So I tried it several times and my towels were nice and soft. However, I just didn't think cold would get them clean and sanitary and so I went back to my normal Hot wash. It was when I switched to Hot wash with these new towels, that I noticed they began to get hard. |

Hey everybody, I recently moved to an all grain system in a buddies garage. It's a great little space except for one thing: there is no way to get running water. No hose. No sink. Not even a rain gutter. Okay maybe there's a rain gutter. ANYWAYS, I have had trouble with cooling my wort in a timely manner. I have tried an ice bath, but the problem with that is none of my pots fit into a cooler. I also tried putting my wort into my fermentation vessel while it was in an ice bath. That worked... kinda. I did effectively warp my better bottle and it took a couple hours for me to get to a temp where I could pitch my yeast. An idea that I had was to place my immersion chiller into an ice bath and let the wort flow through that into my fermentation vessel. I figured it could work like a counter flow chiller minus the running water. I was wondering if anyone has tried this method before or if anyone has any better suggestions. Thanks in advance and I look forward to responses, ideas, and probably some ridicule.
I've been thinking to use an old dehumidifier to cool water and then use the cold water and CFC to cool the wort. If you could get a powerful enough air conditioner you could run the gas straight on to the CFC. A plenty of Chinese manufactures to choose CFC's from. Or if you can find an old ice making machine..... Take a look at this thread to get some ideas: http://ecorenovator.org/forum/geothe...manifesto.html
if you have no hose etc in reach, how do you get water, as the main ingredient of beer, to the garage? How far is the garage from the next water source? You could run a long hose for fresh water and then just attach a run-off hose to the chiller and get the used water into the backyard etc.
I have a small submersible pond-pump that I toss into a bucket of ice water and attach it to my wort chiller. I then recirculate cold water into my immersion chiller. That would be an easy way to deal with your problem, if you don't want don't want to deal with pumping the actual wort. Just have to lug a cooler full of water to the garage.
I liked your original idea of recirculating the wort in an immersion chiller put into an ice bath… obviously you'd have to run sanitizer in the chiller. More beers new brew rigs use something similar for step mashing (just the opposite). I have a 50' copper iwc and always try to get as much water out as possible but know there's still some in it when it gets put away… I'd be reluctant to run my wort through it. I go with pond pump in ice bath.
I have "no chilled" my last 6 batches. It works good. The Aussies have been doing this for years. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/expl...rewing-117111/
Take a bucket and attach a hose bib to that. Run a hose from that to a pump, and pump the water into the chiller. Recirculate from the output back into the bucket. Add ice or snow to the bucket as needed.
I use those 5 gallon bottles of distilled water from Walmart.
I would imagine your idea with the IC would work just as well as a CFC as long as you had enough ice to keep the water around the chiller cool. Either pump it through or elevate your kettle enough to get a good siphon through it. I siphon my wort through a CFC and it comes out the other side at about 65 degrees.

Message from the Luddites…
Posted by Farmer Y on Tuesday, December 17th, 2013
Ok, so I think we just need to admit that we rarely update our website and embrace our Luddite ways. Can't post, farming!
Some updates…
This year we put in an acre of sweet potatoes. Besides showing up at our market booth, some of them went to Greenstar Coop and some went to the Full Plate Farm Collective for their winter CSA. It was a pretty awful year for sweet potatoes though. The weather did not cooperate so we got about 1/4 of our expected yield. Next  year, next year! Baby needs new muck boots!
Popcicle had a calf in October. We named him Paco. Our elder daughter wants to train him as an ox, but if he doesn't make a good ox then we'll have Paco Tacos.
Winter doesn't slow us down on the farm. We've been working hard getting up a permanent high-tensile fence for our pasture (about 8 acres total). Thank goodness we got all our posts in right before everything went into a deep freeze. We just have some gates to weld and put up, and once that's done we can stock our pasture with beefers, and hopefully some sheep and pigs. We also have to repair all the things that we just duct taped and bubble gummed during the growing season just to get by. Seed catalogs just came in and Roger is busy at work on a new planting database (our old one got hosed in the Big Computer Crash of 2013). As always, next year, next year!

Dorcas House
Visit to Dorcas House - August 23, 2014
Everyone welcome — Newcomers and Familiar Visitors Alike — No Spanish Required
Don't Say Goodbye to Summer without Saying Hello to the Kids!
The children of Dorcas House/Vida Joven in Tijuana invite you to visit them on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 9:00am. Dorcas House/Vida Joven is a foster home for children who are particularly vulnerable; about 60% of the children have parents who are incarcerated. All ages are welcome on the trip. Spanish is not required, but a valid passport is mandatory. Please note our new start time of 9:00am. Also note: we will drive into Tijuana together rather than walking across the border. Pre-registration required. For more details visit www.dorcas-house.org. To register for a visit to the home, click here, or contact Beth Beall, firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Dorcas House
What's with the funny name?
Dorcas is in the Bible—you can look it up. She was known for her kindness to people in need. Plus, it's a name people remember.
How many children live at Dorcas House?
We're raising 40+ kids on $11,000 a month. Mexican businesses supply food, milk, and occasional building materials. American contributions cover the children's school fees, uniforms, school supplies, and staff salaries.
Why are they in foster care?
At least one parent is incarcerated. Until 2002, children of prisoners simply lived in the prison with their parents. The prison system was reformed in 2002 but Dorcas House remains the only foster home that will accept children of prisoners.
Sounds like a rough place.
You'd be surprised. Our children bear scars from the past, but have hope for a better future. Six girls are in college preparatory classes, and two are in university and doing very well. We also have children with severe needs who are treated by a volunteer medical team and an on-staff psychologist.
Why should I care about Mexico when there are problems here?
Where else can you do international outreach in your own back yard? The world is getting smaller every day, and the child you save today may be your neighbor tomorrow.
What can I do?
To sign up for a trip PLEASE CONTACT Suzanne Warren: email@example.com or phone 619-437-8700
To join the medical team, contact Nanette Jiminez: email@example.com
To make a donation, contact Chris Harris: firstname.lastname@example.com
In Tijuana:
6,000 children live on the street
80,000 do not attend school
400 used to live with their parents in prison
Dorcas House is changing that, one child at a time.
