Chapter 1 Getting Real About You and Your Weight
Change can come in either of two important ways: Start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively.
-- Dr. Phil
You have a decision to make.
You know it and so do I. At this very moment, you are standing in the aisle of a bookstore, or at an airport, thumbing through these pages, or you are sitting at home, reading this book. You are thinking about your weight and how you have tried to lose it in a million wrong ways. You are wondering if maybe, just maybe, there is something here for you, something you have wanted for a very long time. And if there is, should you try it?
But hear me out: this decision you are mulling over in your head is not whether to start yet another "diet." You have made that well-intentioned but misguided choice dozens of times. And through it all, your weight just keeps creeping up or maybe even shooting sky-high, and it is getting harder to control with each passing year.
The decision you must make is whether or not you will quit conning yourself and telling yourself what you so desperately wish were the truth: that there is some hot new diet out there, promising quick and easy results. So decide: do you want to keep fooling yourself or not? Do you want to keep chasing after, and being seduced by, "miracle" diets, slimming products, and "overnight" weight loss? You've known for a long time that you were going to have to get real about fat or stay real fat. But if you had done what I'm about to ask you to do, instead of going on that last diet you started or signing up for that last program, this decision would be behind you right now.
Let me be real clear: despite the millions of advertising dollars spent to convince you otherwise, losing weight and keeping it off is not "quick and easy," and you know it. You know as well as I do that what I'm saying is the way it is. You know it because you have been on umpteen diets, from the cabbage soup diet to the water diet, and not one of them has ever kept you slender and fit. You have always known that these quick fixes don't work, but it was fun to believe it, at least at first, until everything you tried brought you back to the same point of failure.
I have to get totally real with you: I know you are looking for something you can take tonight that promises slim tomorrow. I know you're looking for something that melts fat off like the sun melts ice. I know you want these things, but continuing to chase after them will bring you nothing but frustration, pain, and self-remorse. You will just continue to sell yourself short, stay stuck in your life and struggle day after day with overeating and being overweight, never doing anything constructive about it.
But stop right here: if you adopt what I will give you on every page of this book, you will overcome your weight challenges and struggles. Nothing will stop you from being anything other than healthy, vibrant, in shape, and fully in charge of yourself and everything you think, do, and feel. This will happen because you make it happen. It will happen because you have made the decision to step up and do what it takes to have what you want.
As we go through this book together, you will discover that unlike most lose-weight programs out there, there is no "one size fits all" solution (no pun intended!) to responsible and permanent weight control. It just doesn't work that way. Because you are a unique individual, your weight-control issues are unique, as well. The strategies you require must be yours and yours alone. Any plan that creates lasting, for-life results is going to have to be designed specifically for you, by you, with help from someone who has done his homework and has broken the code of what is truly required for you to lose weight and keep it off. That someone is me.
For more than thirty years, I have counseled people just like you, people battling weight problems, ranging from chronic obesity to life-threatening eating disorders, and I understand the impact on their life not just from a professional standpoint, but from a personal one as well. In 1995 my father, who struggled for years with weight-related heart disease, collapsed and died suddenly of a heart attack one Sunday morning while teaching Sunday school at his church. Obesity robbed him of many precious years of his life, and it has gravely affected the health of many other members of my family. To say the least, I am painfully aware of the toll obesity can take on every dimension of your life and health. Over these many years of counseling overweight patients, I have discovered what it takes for you to create the results you want. That means I know how you can get your weight and your life under control and back on the right track, permanently.
When you follow my instructions and take the decisive and effective action I will detail for you, you will begin to live with such a high level of health, energy, vitality, and control that your life will seem like new. And you will never have to revert to your old, overweight self again -- ever. Trust me, you are going to get there faster with this approach than if you had followed all the fad diets in the world, one right after the other. Whatever your current weight or diet history, this is something that you can do. All it requires is a willing spirit and an open mind.
I am not one to jump on my own bandwagon, but there was an eight-year period in my career during which my work focused particularly on people who were 100, 200, 300, or more pounds overweight -- men and women who would normally be written off as "hopeless cases" -- most of them emptied of any expectancy for ever scaling down to a normal weight. The approaches I used with them are precisely the very same get-real strategies for weight loss you will learn about and apply here. That said, I will skip to the end of the story and tell you that, significantly, more than 80 percent of these patients not only lost their excess weight, they kept it off. (Regarding that 80-plus percent success rate, know that these kinds of numbers are amazingly rare and fly in the face of the outcome of conventional diet programs, which, embarrassingly, can claim barely a 5 percent "success" rate. Put another way, this means that dieting has a 95 percent failure rate. Ninety-five percent of all people who lose weight gain it all back, with interest, within a few years. Not very good odds, not good at all. You wouldn't gamble your money if those were the odds, if out of every 100 spins, rolls, or poker hands, you'd lose 95 times. You'd go broke. Same deal here: stop gambling with your weight and your health.)
I'm so confident about what I'm giving you in this book because it is not only from my own professional experience, but it is also from what the most current research into weight control suggests. I reviewed every piece of quality research I could find in the psychological and medical literature. You're going to learn the scientific and proven truth, the reality, and the honest-to-God deal about those things that can genuinely help you when you take action and do your part. It's information that you won't get from the weight loss gurus and the diet industry because it can't be Madison-Avenued into new diet schemes. What I've done for you is to distill all the relevant information you need, from my clinical practice and from the research on who keeps weight off and who doesn't, into a coherent, doable plan that will help you do this right, one time, beginning now. Up until this point, you just haven't had the answers, the knowledge, the tools, the inside scoop you need to initiate and sustain lasting change. Now you do; now you will have what you need. But for you to succeed, you have to translate this knowledge, awareness, and insight into action. I will show you how on every single page of this book. This is not brain surgery, not even close. There is, however, a science to these matters. And I know the science. So if you will do what I am about to set out for you, you will lose your unwanted weight and you will keep it off. If you don't, you won't. It's just that simple. Further, what you are about to do doesn't work some of the time, it works all of the time.
But let me warn you: I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm going to tell it like it is, even though that may be difficult to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth, and in so doing, stop this ridiculous roller-coaster ride you have been on for way too long. What's more, experience has taught me that effective weight control will never be "quick and easy," but it is doable. The reason no one has ever told you the truth is simply that "quick and easy" sells a whole lot better than "doable!" I promise you that "doable" works because the quickest route from A to Z, from what your weight is now to what you want it to be, is not at some hurry-up, panicked, fevered pace. If you are going to get the results you want, the fastest way is by following the plan I will outline for you here.
Maybe right now, as you read these words, you are all pumped up, emotionally energized, motivated to the max, about getting started. That's fine, but let me caution you: even if you have all of the desire or "want to" in the world, this is not enough if you don't know "what" to do and "how" to do it. Think about it: if all of a sudden you were strapped into the cockpit of a Boeing 777 at 40,000 feet and forced to "land or die," you would be highly, highly motivated to succeed. But no matter how much "want to" you had, you would not get that airplane on the ground in one piece. Without some very specific knowledge of speeds, power settings, and procedures, you would crash. Same deal here!
Maybe, on the other hand, you are completely deflated because of your latest frustrating attempt at weight loss. Maybe you feel demoralized and feel a sting of shame over your size. Maybe your weight problem is draining your life energy day by day, and making you feel miserable about yourself and your future. You've internalized a feeling of powerlessness, and every time you try and fail, you subject yourself to more of the same. If you have lived like this for very long, you may have developed an underlying hopelessness. Well, don't you give in to it! No matter how many diets you've tried, no matter how many times you've failed in the past, no matter if you haven't seen your feet in forty years, I want you to stop selling yourself short and reach in a mature and strategic way for all you are capable of doing, being, and having.
If you are ever to get started on the right path to change, there is one important precondition you have to meet. You must rid yourself of that gnawing and overpowering sense of urgency and panic that always seems to appear on the scene, like ants spoiling the fun at a picnic, every time you decide to lose weight or otherwise get in shape. You know these feelings; they nag at you with words like you have to be skinny by summer...you have to be buffed by your birthday...you have to be thin for that job interview...you have do this or that, and so it goes, relentlessly tormenting you to the point of making you want to give up before you start. Go on alert here that this is the language of losers, and if you rely on it, always telling yourself that you have to do something about your plight, you will subvert your own best interests. And the prospect of losing weight and getting healthier will be less agreeable and less manageable with each passing day.
So listen to me: you do not have to do anything. You always have a choice. You can choose to obsess about your weight, or not. You can choose to worry about it, or not. You can choose to panic about your situation, or not. When you choose your behavior and your thoughts, you choose the consequences that flow from those choices. So you must start choosing differently, right here and right now, by being open to this book and everything in it.
Stop telling yourself that you just absolutely "have to" lose weight, because that's a lie. You don't "have to" lose weight. You may want to, you may even need to, but you don't have to. It would be nice if you did, but it isn't something you must do. That's just what you have been telling yourself because you thought it would motivate you. Lying to yourself like this won't help you; trust me. You have to breathe -- no choice there -- but you don't have to lose weight. So instead of all that drama and self-recrimination, I want you to choose to feel very calm and very relaxed. Get up each morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and see yourself not as someone who is overweight or out of shape, but as the someone you will become, a person with a greater level of dignity and worth who, for probably the first time ever, is finally going to succeed -- for a lifetime.
As my friend Maya Angelou has so wisely said, "You did what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better." That's where I want you to be at this point in your life. Whatever you did in the past to try to lose weight, you did what you knew how to do. But as we work together through this book, you will know better and you will do better -- a whole lot better!
Trust me, you will succeed -- you will do this right, one time --
because you are about to take your weight-control efforts to a deeper level, where you exercise your personal power to be totally and consciously in charge of everything you think, do, and feel. It's not just about cutting calories, doing a few more push-ups, or taking diet pills. It's not simply about just getting "skinny." It's about changing what you eat, why you eat, where you eat, when you eat, and how you eat, and doing it all in a way that is custom-designed so that it is natural for you. It's about changing yourself from the inside out, so that being what is fit and healthy for you is as natural and as normal as breathing.
By changing yourself from the inside out, you will be able to attain and permanently maintain what I call your get-real weight. It is very important that I establish a clear definition in your mind of what this really means. Essentially, it means a weight that is healthy and realistic for your age and for your physical and genetic makeup, a weight at which you are happy and truly at peace with your size, and a weight that is stable because you have taken control of every factor in your life that keeps it there. Incidentally, that weight may not be at all what you now think you should weigh. For example, if you are a woman who is postmenopausal and you have had three children, and what you want is to be super-skinny like you were at age twenty-three, the reality is that you need to aim for something else. Your get-real weight is a state of health and well-being that is congruent and in harmony with how you are physically and genetically configured. It is the weight that is "right" for you -- a stable, comfortable weight. It is the weight at which you look good, feel good, and lovingly accept yourself from the inside out.

Bristol City 2-2 Tranmere: Match Report
Bristol City 2-2 Tranmere: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Koumas still a class act
Jason Koumas fired a superb 80th-minute equalizer as Tranmere twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Bristol City.
The midfielder connected sweetly with a right-footed shot from 20 yards and saw the ball fly into the top corner of the net.
City went ahead with a fluke goal after 12 minutes. Sam Baldock controlled Marlon Pack's pass on the right touchline and saw his attempted cross elude goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams, the ball going in off the far post for the striker's 17th goal of the season.
But Tranmere had started well and were level seven minutes later when James Wallace crossed from the left and Jake Cassidy turned past Aden Flint to drive a fierce shot over goalkeeper Simon Moore from 10 yards.
The hosts thought they had won it in the 78th minute when Baldock's chip from the right to the far post was headed home by left-back Derrick Williams for his first City goal.
But the least Tranmere deserved was a point on the balance of play and the classy Koumas had the final say.

Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This high quality redwood table was just what we needed to add some storage to our cellar while providing a space for tasting as well. Material was packaged well and easy to assemble using the instructions supplied. Used a pneumatic nail gun with finish nails and another with brads for quick assembly. Quality butcher block style tabletop attaches easily with screws provided. Finished product is approximately 32 inches square with a height of about three feet. Perfect addition to our cellar.

Charlie Hebdo's Muhammad cartoons: a headache for Hollande?
The French newspaper's publication of new cartoons of the prophet Muhammad could shake French President François Hollande's standing, both domestically and abroad.
MIchel Euler/AP
France is once again embroiled in controversy over freedom of speech and religion, after satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo today published raunchy cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. The cartoons' publication – amid spreading Muslim protests around the world against anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims" – could shake the standing of French President François Hollande among Muslims domestically and abroad.
Some of the cartoons use strong language and feature a naked prophet Muhammad lying in provocative positions. Stéphane Charbonnier, the top editor of Charlie Hebdo, justified the cartoons in a short text on page two of the newspaper by writing that there should be no limits when it comes to freedom of speech.
"There is nothing to negotiate with fascists," Mr. Charbonnier wrote, referring to those who oppose the drawings. Charlie Hebdo had its offices set on fire in Nov. 2011 after publishing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its front page.
Charlie Hebdo's website was shut down by a cyber attack Wednesday, the newspaper said on a blog it uses as a backup site, adding that virtually all its print issues had already been sold. Agence France-Presse reported Wednesday afternoon that a complaint had been filed against Charlie Hebdo by a group calling itself Syrian Association For Freedom.

Last week Dubai World repaid the outstanding balance on a USD1.2 billion loan facility arranged and underwritten jointly by Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank.
While refinancing had been offered, Dubai World determined the cost of capital was not competitive and instead elected to repay the outstanding amount under the loan of USD890 million from its operating reserves on December 11, 2008. The loan facility was established one year earlier to help finance the purchase of a 9.4 percent stake in MGM Mirage by Infinity World, a subsidiary of Dubai World.

~~~~~~Chapter 1: "Looking for you in the Sky"~~~~~~
An unknown, unseen realm…
… covered in darkness
The guardian…
… is doomed to guard the lair of a dragon
To calm the soul of the powerful and merciless dragon…
… all Divas never stopped singing…
… until the bitter end
Many Divas has lost their lives…
… and history repeats itself.
My sweet Rin … Len…
Who's there?
Sometimes, fate is cruel
No, please! Don't!
It separated the twins…
… Who were actually meant to be together
A new Diva was chosen
The time passed on…
… and then, the door of a new adventure…
… opened
Len: Without a goal and no destination, I will keep pursuing east
My shadow is my only companion on this path I'm going
My map is blank, I'm craving a voice and it is leading me at least
I'm searching here, 'cause I wanna know, what is true and who are you?
We are destined to mend to search and defend, further and further with no end
We are trying to find the part of my beating heart and that's why I wander
Hearing your singing voice unwind, healing my spirit and my mind
Now and whenever I will forever search for the smile that has burned its way to my mind
Rin: You are here somewhere…
Len: You are here somewhere…
Rin: I know it…
Len: I know it…
~~~~~~Chapter 2: "Paradise of light and shadow"~~~~~~
Rin: Where are you right now?
It's so dark and cold here.
Please… Please find me quickly.
My voice … My voice will lead you.
At the end of the artificial paradise
Really deep, oh so deep at the bottom of the earth
I am fated to sing here as I close my eyes
All alone till I reach my rebirth
From the past that is trapped with now nowhere to go
I will braid all the voices that follow me around
At the edge of repeating times from long ago
I surrender myself, fate abound
Not knowing anything (I will continue sing)
I've been singing for eternity
Singing about the sun (Singing about the rain)
And the oh so gentle requiem
At the end of the road (towards the paradise)
The warm hands were granted but with no luck
'Cause they couldn't reach all the way and down towards me
Miku: Sing forever
Rin: At the bottom of the land which is dying in torture
I am singing where I stand, may my prayers reach to you
With all of the gentle voices I braid
The sleeping forgotten past
I am changing my pain to a smile through the strain
And I'm drowning down to the end in all of my tears
Len: When I close my eyes I can see you right there…
… but as soon as I reach my hand for you I can't reach you
Wait for me…
I will definitely rescue you
At the end of the daring reckless paradise
I am seeking a voice that is lost beyond our sight
I am fated to wander in my own demise
I go further to follow your light
In the shadow of what had happened in the past
I will finally save you and take you far away
'Cause the voice that is echoing in me at last
Should be freed from the dark agony
But my wish doesn't reach (And it will never reach)
To the everlasting paradise
It is distorted with (Oh so distorted with)
All the voices that vanish away
I want to sense the warmth (All the warmth of your voice)
With my hands, and that is my only goal
All the wounds that I may receive, cannot frighten me
Len: I will fight…
Rin: I will sing…
Len: I will go and take the life of the beast which is roaring
Let it write and get its sleep to the end of this planet
But if there is no way to reach where you stay though I have dissolved the light
I will stand up take the life of this dark paradise
I'm bringing it to an end
Rin: At the end of the artificial paradise
Len: At the end of the daring reckless paradise
Rin: I am fated to sing here as I close my eyes
Rin: All alone till I reach my rebirth
Len: I go further to follow your light
Rin: Where are you?
I can't see you anymore
Len: I'm here
I'm right here
Miku: Please, sing
Rin: I am standing here to pray for your protecting
I just want to see the smiles in new and bright world containing harmony
There's a song of hope and light that I send to the day that's ahead
I am giving you my life.
I am letting my voice start to flow with the wind and into the bright sky right until I will die
Len: I am standing here to fight to see a new end
You were crying all alone for the world's harmony
There's a song of pain and shades and it buries the past
I have stolen many lives.
I am letting my voice start to flow with the rain and into the deep earth right until I will die
Miku: History repeats itself
Rin: All the voices meets the light and then leads to the shadows
It is part of history, it's repeating again in a circle of fate
Len: The thumping beating sounds of the world will then echo (the thumping)
To declare the coming end. There is no more defending 'cause
All lives will then end and grow back again. A circle we call rebirth
I will see you again in the light and the shadows and reach the skies, to paradise
I'll reach…
~~~~~~Chapter 3: "Requiem of the Circling World"~~~~~~
Len: I was in the cradle of time
Saw a fearful, cruel dream of mine
But you calmed my soul and you sang a song
Melody, melody, your lullaby for me
Len: Come and tell me, what did you wish?
Rin: It's a world that doesn't end
Len: What I always wished for was this
Rin: Was it that the world should end?
Gentle calming, The chosen voice
Len: So confused
Rin: Suffering
Len: Yet laughing
Rin: And will keep on
Singing out
Len: Turning all the grief … into happiness
Rin: Turning all the pain … into everlasting smiles
Len: Is your ending your pay … 'cause of all the things that you did?
Rin: Only praying and
Rin: Waiting at defeat … protecting this world
Len: Waiting at defeat … just to save you
Rin: Sad but it's true
Len: Sadly
All our thoughts doesn't meet
Rin: Let me grant as I sing, circulating, peace to this world, you receive my blessing
Len: I want to end, all of its life with my hands … It might be my last chance
Rin: But I failed 'cause I could not
Len: I couldn't ever try to
Start to convey
What we wished had been left somewhere in the grey
Len: Starting again
Len: Oh why? Everything was stolen away … yet you still, carried what, all the grief and pain weigh and…
Rin: Endlessly shine, future of mine … here in this realm, in this requiem
Len: Let everything of this fate we can't flee … turn to nothingness
Rin: Let all the light, fate and dark might … turn away
And let us be free
Len: Come and tell me, what did you wish?
Rin: For the present time to go
Len: What I always wished for was always this
Rin: So you want to turn backwards?
You're the one I had chased around
Len: It's your soft, gentle smile, so please come and stay awhile
Len: Turning all the pain, into hope again
Rin: With this endless voice, I will sing, it is my choice
Len: You will hear me screaming, if it was your fate to go and die
Rin: Only praying and
Rin: With this endless song, far but never gone
Len: Even if this is the only chance then
Let it resound again
Rin: Let me grant as I sing, circulating, peace to this world, you receive my blessing
Let all the light, fate and dark might turn away and finally be free
Len: Let your singing voice… Grant eternal life
Is your ending your pay … 'cause of all the things that you did?
Even if this is the only chance then
Let it resound again
Len: Come and tell me, what did you wish?
What I always wished for was this
Gentle voice, you were left behind
All the pain that remain while I remember you
Only one had begun to sing a song for you
Only one, humming on to sing a …
Rin: Let me grant as I sing, circulating, peace to this world, you receive my blessing
Len: If I will end, all of the life with my hands… It might be my last chance
Rin: Even if it is fate
Len: If it's heading towards
Meeting an end
I don't care where we'll be, I want you with me
Len: And the voice is granting all eternity to us
Rin: Endlessly shine, future of mine … here in this realm, in this requiem
Len: We are here, together, we will fade among ruin
Len: Let everything of this fate we can't flee … turn to nothingness
Rin: Let all the light, fate and dark might … turn away
And let us be free
In eternal light for eternity

Looking into a LAR-8 in .308. Any experience with this manufacture and their products?
This is a discussion on Rock River Arms. within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Looking into a LAR-8 in .308. Any experience with this manufacture and their products?...
Looking into a LAR-8 in .308. Any experience with this manufacture and their products?
Only been around there 223 wylde varmint rifles. No one makes a more accurate production rifle with .300 moa possible with national match ammo. Don't expect a heavy barreled 308 to be anything but accurate. There are enough reviews on some of the very different lar-8 configurations to decide the version you want and find some feed back on it.
I really like RRA rifles for their accuracy, if you intend on using it as a high volume fighting rifle I'd look elsewhere.
"Just blame Sixto"
I don't have a .308 but I own a LAR-15 that has been a very good rifle.I can attest that there customer service is very good.I broke the bolt release/catch paddle while doing some rough and tumble drills............I sent them the rifle they fixed it free no questions asked.
The easy way is always mined.
I too have the LAR 15 and love it. It is without a doubt as good as the 1/2 MOA they claim. I like the feel of the two stage trigger as well. Have shot a coyote or two, or maybe a lot more, with it over the past two years.
I have a carbine LAR15. Great gun with an excellent trigger. The biggest complaints seem to come from the folks who say that an AR15 must be mil spec.
Extremely accurate rifles. 3/4 MOA all day with the right ammo.
As a company, they are great. Here's the story. I bought a new national Match 223 and when I first checked it out, felt that the trigger wasn't quite "National Match" quality. Feeling frisky, I gave then a phone call. A real person answered. I told them, the issue and I was immediately transferred to one of their techs. He says they would be happy to send me a return box for the lower and they would check it out. However, he noted that I lived just outside of Chicago. He said if I wanted, I could just drive down to them and drop it off. Ask for Joe the trigger guy. Well, for the heck of it, about a week later I and my wife took a drive down to the RRA facility. I did not call them or say i was coming. We got there and walked in the front door. I told the lady sitting there i wanted to see "Joe the trigger guy". A couple minutes latter,, you guessed it, out walks Joe. (Forgive me if I got his first name wrong. It's been a while). He looks at the rifle, and takes it in back. He comes out about 15 minutes later and says to now try it. It was outstanding. They did everything but offer to take me out to lunch, and if it were a bit later probably would have done that. They got a customer for life. Try some of this service with certain other companies. Also, the NM shoots sub MOA at 100.
Best way to win a gun fight? "That's easy, don't show up."

"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything."

SBA Administrator Karen Mills has some questions to answer about agency spending. (File photo)
The House Small Business Committee is concerned about Small Business Administration officials' spending plans as sequestration hits budgets. Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo.) wants to make sure officials focus spending on the agency's core mission: to help companies.
In a letter sent April 3, Graves asked SBA Administrator Karen Mills pointed questions about employee travel and the usefulness of some websites. (Read the letter.)
"The committee remains concerned that core functions of the agency may be curtailed by sequestration," Graves wrote. "This is particularly problematic if the SBA continues to fund activities not specified [by current statute] or unnecessary travel by SBA employees."
To get a better look into agency's budget plans, Graves is seeking responses about expected travel costs for the fiscal year and the cost of the National Small Business Week event. SBA's major annual conference, scheduled for June, highlights entrepreneurs and business owners' efforts in various areas.
He questions the need for Regional Innovation Clusters that connect small and large businesses, including networking with potential industry partners abroad. He questions its future since it isn't authorized by law.
Graves also wants information on the cost of hosting the website to apply for two awards, but specifically the "Tibbetts Award." The awards are for companies that have participated in the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, and the second one, for individuals who advocate on behalf of the programs.
As for the conference, clusters, and the awards, Graves wants a breakdown of the costs SBA will pay and those absorbed by non-governmental organizations. Officials should protect funds for SBA's guaranteed loan programs, according to Graves. Congress appropriates money for the programs and, with budget as they are, the programs likely will face cuts.
"It is important for the SBA to have contingency plans in place," Graves added.
The committee plans for a hearing April 24 to question Mills about the spending as SBA faces sequestration.

SBA does almost everything except what they should be doing. It's like a miniature GSA - a club. I've never seen an organization more hostile to real small businesses and their needs than the SBA. They openly admit it is a game and essentially allow only firms willing to contort themselves (I'd say to an almost unethical degree) to help them with their CYA.

Primary Faction: None
Coalition Member Status: Tentative
Home World: Aru
Planet Status: Coalition Protectorate
- Overview -
The Goshin are a mammalian, somewhat Humanoid specie that were encountered by the Coalition a while after they encountered the Unification species. While a generally friendly, sociable people, they lag heavily behind other species known to the Coalition in technology, knowledge of space, and what lies within it.
- Anatomy -
Goshin are for the most part bipedal creatures standing roughly ten feet in height, although it is not uncommon for them to use all four of their limbs to attain high speeds while running. A Human looking at one might find it similar to an anthropomorphic wolf, although the head is more akin to a bear in shape. Their ears are large and triangular shaped, sitting near the top of their head, and their tails are fairly long and bushy. They are covered in fur of a solid color, generally shades of brown, tan, gray, or white, generally depending on the region of the individual Goshin's ancestry.
The fur of a Goshin is most commonly in the range of six to ten inches in length, though it is commonly trimmed down to below one inch for Goshin living in much warmer climates. They have double jointed legs, with padded, four toed feet, and padded, four fingered hands with an opposable thumb. Each finger and toe is clawed, though often these are kept short in modern Goshin societies.
They have a very acute sense of smell and hearing, and their eye colors are almost always brown or blue. Males are generally larger and more muscular than the females, and the females smaller and more lean. Female Goshin have mammary glands in the chest area, resulting in two pronounced breasts, one on either side. In males, a sheath covers their penis when it is not in use.
- Origins -
Goshin are believed to have developed naturally on the planet they know as Aru. It is no coincidence that such a name sounds similar to a howl (i.e., Arooo!), because it is. In Goshin spirituality, a howl came to be seen as an acknowledgment of the majesty of the world, and at the same time a thirst to live fully within it, which no single word could accurately describe.
Aru is a planet roughly similar to Earth, but generally much colder. There are fewer tropical regions, and areas of cold temperate regions and frigid tundra cover more of the planet's comparative land area than on Earth. Historically, white furred Goshin resided in snowy climates, while lighter furred ones resided in more seasonal ones.
There are a variety of different types of life forms on the planet, both land based and water based.
- Psychology -
Generally speaking, Goshin are a simple, straightforward people, who often follow their emotions, and wish to take care of those close to them. Despite coming from a lineage of predators, they are surprisingly gentle, and while they are somewhat slow to anger, they are fearsome if roused, particularly if there is danger to themselves, their kin, or friends. They are more often than not playful, relaxed, and have a sense of wonder for life.
As a very family, tribe or clan centered people, it is much less likely to see a Goshin act quickly on their own, rather than take their time to make sure others are considered. They have a great loyalty to their closest friends and family. While they are sometimes wary of newcomers to their perceived clan units, once the newcomers have demonstrated themselves to be trustworthy, the will quickly find themselves friends, rather than mere acquaintances.
The Goshin are also a notably protective people, particularly of those smaller, and are rather good with children. This applies both to themselves as well as other alien species. Their predatory capacity can be unsettling to some smaller species, such as the Juntians and especially small species such as the Viana, however, aggression directed toward perceived prey is not directed at other people.
One of the most endearing aspects that other species have found about the Goshin is the sense of wonder they seem to have for the world around them, be it in life forms, nature as a whole, and a sort of reverence for all the mysteries behind it. It seems very easy for a Goshin to amuse themselves, or be happy, finding something to like even about the simplest of things, even lying in a patch of grass and enjoying a nice day. They are also commonly very playful, in numerous ways. There is a place in there society for fast paced living, especially on hunts, but besides those, Goshin would prefer to relax and enjoy themselves.
It should also be noted that the sense of reverence they have for the mysteries of life, and new things, also extends to those alien species that come in contact with them. They have a deep respect for those they can learn from, those with more experience or knowledge than themselves, and it has been noted that often alien species, be they larger or smaller, are sometimes treated in the same manner as their elders, spiritualists, and learned scholars.
- Reproduction -
Goshin have a reproductive capacity similar in nature to most known mammals encountered. Full sexual maturity is often around the age of sixteen to eighteen years. The gestation period of females is around a year, and usually one to two young are born, though very rarely more than three.
- Sexuality and Love -
While Goshin are capable of experiencing sexuality at any time, their sexuality does not have the fairly steady level of other species. Rather, it has a definite peak during the annual mating season which takes place from early to mid-spring. Even if a Goshin does not wish to conceive a child, this time is marked for most Goshin by a heightened state of sexual activity, with one or more partners. Once the season has passed, Goshin generally engage in sexual activity much less often, usually dependent on the age of the Goshin in question.
Part of Goshin culture has grown up around this season of both mating and birth, and this has combined further with the appreciation the Goshin already have of the spring season after the winter, a time of new life. In part because of the part it plays in all Goshin cultures, albeit sometimes in different ways, the vast majority of Goshin children are born around this time. Goshin can still be conceived and born at any time of the year, however, it is generally believed that if children are to develop in the best way, then it is best to plan around a Goshin's peak fertility.
Of course, sexuality is not the only means of expressing love among the Goshin. Feelings and conveying them are very important in Goshin culture, and those of love and affection especially important, and not just because of the development of greater levels of compassion yielding greater survivability in the wild of their tribes. Also, physical contact is of particular importance, and any Goshin who shies away or outright avoids such physical contact will almost always elicit concern among other Goshin for their well being, as such avoidance usually stems from some sort of suffering. As other species have started to become part of the Goshin life, such an attitude has also extended to them.
Actions such as hugging, cuddling, nuzzling, and licking are all very common among Goshin, with no necessary prerequisite of intimacy. Although the affection is appreciated, those species who are not used to such things done to them can find such actions off putting, until they become used to them or such concern is brought to the Goshin's attention. Usually though, the former happens, as it is often perceived by Goshin that if someone of a different specie feels averse to an affectionate display, they just need more of it to feel better.
Over time, the Goshin have developed what amounts to a marriage institution, generally for those who wish to mate for life. However, whereas some species might see this as starting a new family, for the Goshin, it is truly about extending the family, and one's relatives will often take a very active role in the couple's life.
In modern times, it is generally preferred that two Goshin make commitments to each other and their families before procreating. Reproductive irresponsibility is generally scorned, although because even extended family is kept close, children brought about without commitment are not as difficult to care for. There is a place in Goshin society for more casual intimate relationships between two Goshin, or even more than two, but bringing new life into the world is taken very seriously.
- Life Cycle -
The average life of a Goshin is similar to most mammalian species. A Goshin infant is born live, with very little to no traces of fur on them, and often with eyes that generally don't open for up to a few days. This is when a Goshin is most dependent and helpless, and family take great care to ensure the newborns are nurtured. Milk from their mothers will generally be the infant's only source of food until it becomes more able to function on it's own, which can generally be anywhere from four to five months.
When the young become more mobile, with greater fur cover to protect them from the elements, and more inclination to eat other foods, it will start to be weened onto more solid food. The childhood of a Goshiin can last up to around ten, when puberty will often begin, until maturity is reached at around eighteen years of age.
Goshin will often begin family building at about this time, though in more recent history, this can also be delayed sometimes until thirty years of age, though it is generally believed that earlier family beginnings yield deeper family bonds since more time can be spent with children the earlier they come.
In the range of forty to fifty a Goshin is considered past it's prime, or middle aged, and those aged sixty or higher are generally considered to be elders. At the time of their discovery by the Coalition, their expected lifespan of around eighty years, with some making ninety and over.
- Diet -
Goshin are capable of consuming a variety of foods, but while omnivorous, they predominantly prefer animal meat as a main source of food. Not just that, but being very much a predatory specie, they very much prefer meat as it is, uncooked, and the fresher the better. Other plant foods have a place in their diets, but where they are able, Goshin will almost always be drawn to animal meat.
This by itself is not a problem, but as other species are either less keen on meat, or not keen at all, the experience of being near a Goshin, or several, while they eat can be unsettling at times. It is perhaps one of the main things that can make another specie, particularly very small species, wary while in their presence, as it is the most direct reminder of where the Goshin descend.
- Language -
The Goshin are certainly capable of a range of words and language, even those not native to themselves, which, in no small part due to their jaw structure, gives them a rather noticeable Goshin "accent," particularly sounds which require more mailable lips. However, Goshin communication is much more about expression of feelings than just words. As such, growls, whimpers, purring, and what might be called roars or barks, as well as physical contact, are just as important to speech as words. Actually, they are sometimes sufficient if feelings can be expressed by them more easily than words.
The emphasis placed on feelings and non-verbal communication makes communication with Goshin generally fairly easy, even if one does not know the others language. For example, an Alaerin giving a "bark" or two at a group of Goshin and pointing in a direction is often sufficient to get the group to move where she pointed. Likewise, a Goshin giving a whimper is often sufficient to arouse the attention and sympathy of any Human nearby, who is usually able to readily figure out its needs.
This is not to say that Goshin communication does not entail the transmission of more complex ideas, and their written and spoken languages are well developed. Yet, like it's people, most languages used by the Goshin are very simple in nature. There is often very little to no grammar, with context generally derived from the manner of presentation by the speaker.
It is also common in Goshin languages that the more big, numerous, or complex something is, the more of the word there is. For example, in their most common language, their home world is "Aru." Space, or the heavens, is "Aruru." A hill is "gari," whereas a mountain is often "gariri." A snack is "che," a meal is "cheche," and a feast is "checheche." The world for alien is "arurushin," or, more literally, "space person". "Arurushinin," in turn, means big space person, and is commonly used to refer to Alaerin.
It should also be noted that because the emphasis of Goshin communication is the expression of feelings and experiences, meaning is more important than the actual words used. For example, the word "kaogo" means blue. "Kaogogo" means a lot of blue, often in reference to something like a sky or an ocean. However, this word is also sometimes used for an Alaerin, where it means "big blue." Likewise, "kaogogogo" often means many Alaerin. Also, the word "maishu" refers to one or both female breasts. "Maishushu" means big breasts. "Maishushushu" is a word that is often used for an Alaerin, and "maishushushushu" can mean many Alaerin, though usually at that point the Goshin saying it is just being silly. It should also be noted that while some Alaerin find this label flattering, others do not, however, they still won't say anything because it is well known that Alaerin are weak against cute, furry creatures.
Concepts and individual things almost always have the same word, and context is what differentiates them. For example, "go" means earth, and "shin" means person. And individual Goshin is called as such. Many individual Goshin could, and are, accurately called "Goshinin," however, shin can also mean people, and therefore "Goshin" is the most appropriate term when referring to their species. Alien species generally use the term Goshin to refer to one, many, or the specie for convenience.
- Society -
Although as tempting as it may be to affectionately refer to a Goshin as a pack animal, this should only be done by one who does not assume all group centered creatures to be the same. Historically, Goshin were generally nomadic and tribe centered. Families were extended, and those within tribes took care of one another. Goshin historians widely believe that it is when Goshin tribes began to accept outcasts, rather than outcast members, merge into larger tribes, and begin to form more permanent settlements around major animal migration routes in arable land that greater Goshin civilization began. The necessity of mutual care to survivability has shaped them through time.
Goshin are very family centric, and for Goshin, family truly means extended family. This close connection between family can easily extend to unrelated friends. They are generally disinclined to travel or move anywhere for extended periods of time where their friends and family are not, and much of Goshin societies are built around keeping family together and available to people.
It is not uncommon to find large, extended families just in a spread of a geographical region, but also grouped together closely within a very small area, such as a town. A Goshin home is often in very close proximity to others of relatives. Depending on how old family is and how long it has resided in an area, it is actually possible to find small sections of cities, or large sections of towns, completely inhabited by a single Goshin extended family. This does not just pertain to single homes, which themselves are almost always built to hold more than just a Goshin nuclear family, and residential neighborhoods, but to other aspects of larger Goshin settlements. Apartment complexes are designed with fewer separate units, as the buildings themselves often hold only a single Goshin extended family, but it is not as though ones being homes to two or more is uncommon. Businesses nearby are often all owned and operated by members of Goshin extended families.
What can pass for "government" in Goshin societies is generally a mix between elders of society, elders of families, family representatives, scholars, spiritualists, and sometimes others with experience in a field. Family structures of Goshin are so extensive and well knit that family governance is more important than societal governance, and as such institutions pertaining to larger populations of Goshin are of a more limited capacity. Matters of general affairs are dealt with by such institutions, either on a local or larger level, but it is still generally held that families should be able to take care of themselves and their members.
Elders within Goshin families thus carry the general role of being the governors of family affairs, and in typical Goshin families, there could be a large number of elders, sometimes hundreds, or more. There is no rigid structure to Goshin family governance, but generally elders are expected to be aware of what is going on within a family, and make sure that those adults younger than them are conducting themselves well, and the younger adults in turn making sure the children are conducting themselves well. Even within these extensive family networks, though, elder guidance is also often shared with scholars, spiritualists, and other with experience in different fields.
Such extensive family relations can often be overwhelming for other species. If a Goshin invites an alien to come and meet their family, they are often not expecting the affair to take days to weeks, often with large group meals, and trips to different councils of elders, all of which would be very normal for an individual Goshin who wishes to become familiar with the family of another. The best advice given to aliens is that, in affairs involving Goshin family, either be specific, or be prepared for a great deal of attention.
- Spirituality -
Matters of the spirit maintain a pivotal place in Goshin lives, and while there are differences in beliefs, there are central themes which run through all matters of Goshin faith and related experiences. Most notably is the concept of a Great Spirit, that which lies behind all seen and unseen. It is from this central source which all spirit comes, from spirits of the land, the sea, the air, animal life, Goshin, to space and space objects. It is generally believed that the universe is about experience, the experience of the Great Spirit, and for all it's manifestations to experience as well.
There is no single experience that any single spirit is confined to, and indeed, the range of experiences are what make a life enjoyable. While there are certainly concepts of benevolent, malevolent, and benign spirits, the Great Spirit is above such divisions, and manifests in those ways to propagate experience. A history of theology among Gohsin have sought to try to understand if there might be a reason why this might be the case, that the Great Spirit would manifest the universe in the way it is, if there are many reasons, or any reason at all.
However, it is more widely believed that the mysteries of the universe cannot be fully explained by anyone to anyone, but must be experienced for one's self to better grasp, if such a thing can even be done. To that, it is believed that the best way to fully appreciate what is, one must live one's life as fully as one can, full of many experiences.
This is not to say that all experiences are the same, for it is also believed that to truly be in line with the nature of the universe, and the spirits within, one must be in line with themselves. When a Goshin kills another Goshin, an act of negativity, for example, it creates many effects within themselves and others that yield further negativity. Conversely, when a Goshin saves another Goshin from danger, it creates a range of positivity. Any simple self or societal analysis they believe will show that because it creates great suffering within a Goshin to propagate negativity, rather than the happiness they feel propagating positivity, the Goshin must be a manifestation for experiences of a more positive kind. Thus, when it is said that a Goshin should have a range of experiences, it is generally implied that the experiences in question are those which are fundamentally in line with the nature of the Goshin, not against it.
It has been argued by some in the past that, the nature of Goshin hunting and killing of animals is certainly an act of negativity toward those animals, yet, it was counter argued that the nature of hunting and how they eat is extremely satisfying to a Goshin, an incredible experience in itself. Although not solely because of this, it has generally been concluded that although it seems Goshin are manifested for predominantly positive experiences, it does not mean that only positive experiences can satisfy a Goshin. Nothing in the universe must be purely good or evil, but is what it is to experience different things. A planet is manifested in it's form to experience things it can, such as the beauty of the growth of life, but also the horror of destruction. An ocean is what it is to experience such things as being a great sustainer of life, while also having the capacity to be cruel, and unforgiving.
Such a dichotomy among things that manifest, it is said, are because things need such a diversity of experience. As to how it pertains to Goshin, they too, must have the capacity for such a dichotomy. What the balance is between positive and negative experience is in the Goshin is not something that can truly be known at a mental level. This is why it is important for each Goshin to search their feelings, know what they are, be in tune with them, and follow them. It is in part because of such a spiritual emphasis on the nature of feelings to tell one something about one's self that feelings and emotions are so valued among them.
This is not to say that there have not been problems, and indeed, there have been wars between Goshin, both in their past, and in more recent history. Some have argued that such conflict which is so negative may have resulted from those following their feelings, and that reason could have prevented it. However, it has been countered that no measure of experience, be it from feelings, or emotions, or reason, is beyond corruption, or that perceiving one thing can only yield one view. It is the nature of manifestation that any single thing is of a both positive and negative nature. Also, it could well be that those who propagated such needless violence did not search themselves enough. Beyond that, others have noted that, much like anything, such violence has a dual nature. While it is easy to see the negativity of it, those with perceptions more open can see the positivity. Such conflicts serve as learning experiences for others, to demonstrate a way of living which is not good for them. So long as all things are viewed in the correct way, and the lessons from experiences learned, then no Goshin will have died meaninglessly.
Of importance in Goshin society are the spiritualists, in a general sense. This term does not specifically refer to what could be described as a priest, monk, or shaman exclusively, and each of those kinds, and others, has a place. Those who devote themselves to understanding matters of spirituality serve as useful guides to other Goshin, and see a prominent role in matters of family and societal institutions.
There are ways in which beliefs are somewhat institutionalized, are there are elements of what can be described as religion in Goshin society. The concept of worship exists, but it is more often perceived in the context of respect and reverence for the Great Spirit and all other lesser spirits that connect to it. Meditation is prominent within Goshin society, but prayer not as much, as it is believed that the best way to connect with the Great Spirit lies in the connection one has to themselves. There are buildings for meditation and prayer within society, but more often there will be natural settings, such as temple gardens and in the wilderness, as it is believed that the most productive meditation can be done in natural settings.
The sense of a single afterlife does not really exist within Goshin belief, but that spirits are constantly manifest in different ways, either in a physical experience, or in realities beyond the physical. How many different layers of existence there are is something that it is believed cannot be known, and like the nature of the Great Spirit, is one of the many great mysteries of the universe.
- Art and Culture -
A great diversity exists between Goshin cultures, especially those that exist in much colder climate compared to those from much warmer ones. What visitors seemed to notice prominently was that there was a notably relaxed, unhurried feel to Goshin society. This is not to say there there cannot be fast paced lifestyles, and active business markets, and so on, but as a whole, compared to many other species, Goshin society at large is much more laid back.
Part of this relates to their general view on life, that it should be experienced as fully as it can be, with no particular need to hurry to one's destination. Whereas a Human might be familiar with the idea that on the journey of life, one should stop and smell the roses, a more Goshin idea might be, if one is not going to stop and appreciate the roses, then what's the real joy of the journey? Overall, much more emphasis is placed on enjoying the moment than stressing too strongly about the future, and that one's personal experiences and what is learned through life is more important than one's physical accomplishments.
This is not to say that Goshin are not industrious, as they can apply themselves just as strongly as any people who desire to. However, the desire for technological innovations is not as strong with them as a whole as it is with other species.
The Goshin have always been a people close to the land and nature, and such a connection has always been deeply respected, and permeates throughout their society. Goshin dwellings are often simple, and rustic in design, even more modern buildings, and nature is never far away. Within any Goshin settlement one will find an abundance of parks and natural areas.
Clothing within Goshin society is for the most part absent, a Goshin quite comfortable to roam anywhere naked. Normally this might put off some other species, but because Goshin are covered in fur, such a choice is generally not spoken against, and in truth feels to many species not much different than a pet or other domestic animal. Granted, the Goshin who trim their hair short in warmer climates are much more eye catching than those in colder ones that let it grow long, since their features are more defined, but even then, such a manner of dress is generally not spoken against. What clothing Goshin generally do wear either pertains to specific kinds of protective work clothes, or accents they might wear, but other than that, Goshin are fine with the natural fur they have.
Perhaps because Goshin can more acutely identify someone based on smell or sound, not to mention being able to notice the differences among each other, visual individuality has not been as prominent among them as it has been with other species. One aspect of such individuality, aside from clothing, is the growing out of some of their fur while trimming the rest, most commonly in warmer climates. The fur is sometimes stylized, or even dyed. The growing out of head fur while trimming the rest has become much more common since encountering alien species for whom head hair is of notable importance.
As with the rest of their culture, much of Goshin artistry relates to being in line with nature. They have a wide variety of different artistic mediums, like any specie, but to a large degree, more simple, earth related artwork is more common than more elaborate, or even technologically inclined ones. There is certainly a place in their society for more advanced, complex types of art, but it is not as common. The art of storytelling is, perhaps, the most enjoyed kind among them, be it novel, oral telling, mythology, play, movie, or song. Experience is paramount, and the sharing of one's experience, or the presentation of different experiences, the most important art form.
At the time of their discovery, the Goshin had a very wide range of different societies. Some were more modern and advanced, where others were just as nomadic as they had been eons before, and were perfectly happy with living that way. It also should be noted that the Goshin could well experience many changes to their culture as time goes on, now that they know they are not alone in the universe, and that an industrial base which moves to slow could leave them vulnerable to malevolent species in the universe. Time will tell how the Goshin adapt.
- Technology -
The element of simplicity that is common among Goshin is also seen in their technology. Simplicity of design and function in terms of machines, appliances, and other devices, is often favored more than complexity. Utility and durability are favored much more than extra features, which may or may not have any direct relationship to the technology in question. This holds true even if the more complex piece of technology is overall superior.
A notable example of this is in their choice of air travel. The Goshin do have equivalents to propeller aircraft as well as more advanced jet aircraft. However, the most common kind of air travel is the airship. More advanced types of planes are certainly faster, and more expedient ways of getting between two places, and these certainly have a place in modern Goshin society. However, the ease with which an airship can be both built, operated, and maintained, has made it rather commonplace among the Goshin, to the point that there are both large, luxury airships, as well as more small group or even personal craft.
While it is true that for very long flights Goshin will almost always opt for one of the faster types of air travel, for shorter distances, the airship is preferred. Slower though it may be, for the Goshin, the journey is even more important than the destination, and a more gradual pace is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the view is nice.
When the Goshin were encountered, a Human might liken the state of Goshin technology and society at large to be reminiscent of elements of the 19th and 20th centuries on Earth. There is radio and television, but more advanced computers are still a developing technology. There are automobiles, as well as trains and some trolleys, but also animal mounts. There are some more large scale farming technologies, but often more rudimentary farming tools are seen, with smaller scale farms more common than large ones.
The Goshin did have a functional space program at the time they were encountered, and had already reached both of their moons, with several missions, and have many satellites in their planet's orbit. It was more recent, and thus was not very extensive. Programs to create unmanned probes were underway, though only one was sent out to the next planet in their system further out from Aru at the time of the Coalition discovery of them.
What the future holds for them, they are not sure, but they are eager to learn from those species that would aid them.
- Military -
When they were encountered, the Goshin had no single, unified military. Rather, different armed forces pertain to different levels of social structure. Goshin society is very decentralized, and the same is true for military elements within it.
For the most part, major military forces have come in two forms. One is that of many different families pooling those among them who are inclined toward extensive defense, and those families who generally are notable for their military orientation. There are many smaller, what could be considered militias all throughout different Goshin nations, but any standing army is usually small. Large armies can be raised in times of need, but since Goshin society at large is broken into many smaller units, protective services are generally offered and supplied by various smaller units, be they smaller militias or private security.
The Goshin do still have notable weapons of war. There are air vessels, sea vessels, and land vessels that are designed for combat, as well as various bases around different nations. Large scale wars are fairly well absent as large scale nations are often absent. Most conflict that has emerged on Aru has been at smaller scales, and often between large families, rather than larger entities, such as nations. One of the most notable checks on Aru that mitigates large scale war or conquest are the presence of so many different nations who could ally with each other. There are actually many more individual nations on Aru than there ever were on Earth, for example, but none of them have ever been very large.
The firearm of choice for the goshin military is the spike gun. These weapons fire what is essentially a large, rifled spike at high velocities. The round itself is caseless, with the propellent and the detonator both located in a depression bored into the rear of every spike. When triggered, the entire spike is launched from the weapon. Spike guns, traditionally, have low rates of fire compared to other species' automatic weapons, but exceptional piercing power. The concept itself is descended from the earliest goshin firearms, which had originally been used to bring down some of the larger, tougher game found in the wilderness of Aru.
- Faster Than Light Technology -
At the time the Goshin were first encountered by the Coalition, the Goshin had no developed faster than light travel themselves. Those Goshin that have spread to other worlds have done so through either Coalition or Unification ships.

Found this recipe and thought I would share. Abner is one of my favorite double ipa. Batch: all-grain Size: 5.5 gallons/21L OG: 1.077 FG: 1.014 IBU: 100+ SRM: 7 ABV: 8% Ingredients 15lbs 2-row pale malt .75lbs caramalt (37L) 1lb corn sugar 1oz Warrior hop @60min .75oz Columbus @30min 1oz simcoe @knockout/whirlpool 1oz centennial @knockout/whirlpool .5oz Chinook @knockout/whirlpool 3oz Simcoe dry hop (day 7 for 7-10 days 2oz Chinook dry hop (day 7 for 7-10 days) 1 Tb Polycar Yeast: Wyeast 1028, white labs WLP013 or Lallemand Nottingham It's a single infusion mash. Target mash temp is 149 degrees. Hold for 45 minutes, then mash out or begin lautering phase. Collect 7 gallons in boil kettle and boil for 75 minutes adding hops as instructed. After boil is done, create a whirlpool and add the knockout hops and let rest for 30 minutes before chilling. Target pitching rate is 1 million cells. Ferment at 68 degrees for 7 days. After 7 days add Polycar or fining agent to clear yeast from the beer. Then add the dry hops for 7-10 days. Some tips to getting this beer right are: using a hop spider or a muslin bag to collect as much hop material as possible especially when using whole hops. Try to have chloride and sulfate levels in your brewing water around 50 ppm.
From high up in the Green mountains!
Is this one of the BYO clones from the October issue?
Primary/Secondary/Bottles/Kegged: Delicious, delicious beer
Sure was. Trying it out Sunday!
Nice! Let us know how it goes.
Will do. I wanted to try this out with conan but I am going with the Wyeast London ale. In going to get abner from HF to do a side by side
dry hop in primary or go to 2ndry?
Doesn't specify, I'll be doing it in primary. Brewed this on Sunday and was way off for OG and total fermenting wort. I messed up somewhere obviously but I'm going to give the recipe another shot soon!
When do you add the corn sugar? Last 5 min of the boil? Also, would Carapils be a good sub for Caramalt or should I be looking at blending some crystal?
Corn sugar at last 10 minutes of boil. Caramalt is usually around 37L so your best bet may be to blend crystal.
Hops and yeast (WLP013) have been ordered... I'm brewing this soon! I do not have access to Polyclar though. I'll use Irish Moss and Whirlfloc instead. Abner is one of the best beer I've ever had!

In Reply to: Carol by Carol Potter
Well I just went into my bank account to check it again, and sure enough there was the charge $159.95. I was so happy earlier today when I checked it and there was not a charge. I am definitely going to call and tell them what I think on Monday. This is ridiculous. I can't use my mail in Internet Explorer now, so am using Google Chrome. I am signed up with At&T for mail, and have used it for several years, and always used it with IE. So I will write back when I get to talk to someone with some intelligence from Toshiba. Just wanted to let you know. Carol
