I think I forgot to mention that this won first place in the category in the HBT BJCP competition. It's a nice beer, well liked by everyone who has tried it.
Thanks for the updates and sharing. I'll brew this up soon with the -- looking for those "I wish it were Spring" days at the end of Winter -- in mind.
1st: congratulations on the blue ribbon well done. I was trying to come up with a pilsner recipe using ale yeast. I also have a lb of caravienne waiting to be used. Looks tasty. I have added it to my "to do". Thanks
Think I can substitute Brown malt for the Chocolate? I have a ton of it and want to use it. Should it be the same amount? More? Less?
I decided to try this recipe mostly because I really like the idea of putting a lot of adjuncts from the kitchen in a brown. But I also wanted to try to make a lighter weight brown that still has big flavor (see below - that might not have worked), since my browns are usually in that 6% abv, Brooklyn Brown Ale kind of range. Even after all the substitutions to fit what I had on hand, I still think the recipe is very similar despite changing the amounts of nearly everything: 6.75 lb Belgian pilsner (.75 extra in case of bad efficiency) 1 lb munich 1 lb oats* 10 oz pearled barley* (down from 12 oz) 4 oz chocolate 1 oz roasted barley (not in Yooper's recipe) 9 oz Caravienne, 3 oz Caramunich, 4 oz Crystal 15 (my best guess sub for the pound of Caravienne) * Ok, even this was a mess. I only had 7 oz of quick oats, so added 9 oz extra thick rolled oats. I toasted all of this at 350 for at least 20 minutes, then boiled the thick cut oats for 30 minutes. Also boiled the pearled barley 30 minutes Hops were 0.6 - 0.7 oz of Magnum (12.5%AA) FWH and then 1 oz of Liberty (4.5) for 10 minutes. Used Nottingham, batch sparge, fermented around 60 degrees. The result so far is a good beer, but not what I was going for. I ended up with 75% efficiency and accidentally overboiled it down to 4.4 gallons at 1.065. This is not usually a problem -- if I get better than average (for me) efficiency I just add more water at bottling time. This time though, the ever-voracious Notty cranked this oaty, big crystal malt, 1.065 brown ale down to 1.012. So I can't decide whether to add a gallon of water to get closer to the original recipe and run the risk of a thin, under-malty brown (1.053 down to 1.010), or keep what I have, a dry, strong, but not very hoppy IBA. The hydro sample tastes quite good, though, considering the yeastiness.
Can anyone far more talented (and probably more handsome) than I convert this to Extract and Steeping? I'm looking to fill a few fermenters in the upcoming weeks to have a supply of summer beers. Thank you in advance.
I made this recipe and it was one of the best beers I have ever tasted. I used the London ESB because I like my ales malty. I also bottled 18 of these with half a shot of Knob Creek bourbon. Those were also delicious. The flavor of this beer came through and mixed well with the bourbon flavor. When I make this recipe again I will probably split the batch with half bottled with bourbon.

The Islanders season has been over for awhile now, their best players have been on the shelf for weeks, and they are basically rolling out the Bridgeport Sound Tigers lineup acting as an NHL lineup day in and day out, but somehow these kids have collected points in 10 of their last 13 games over the past month.
Many probably did not expect him to be more than just a fourth line forward that only got the call against top heavy opponents like the New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins, but Eric Boulton has proven to be a rather reliable player (Photo credit: paul.hadsall/Flickr).
Boulton dressed for 15 of last season's 48 games last year and did not register a single point. He had a -4 rating and 36 PIMs to go with it.
This year, Boulton has seen 12 games this year and has two goals, two assists and four points to go along with a +3 rating and 48 PIMs.
The Islanders (8-17-5) recent road trip has begun as miserable as the team's season thus far, as they dropped both games in St. Louis and Los Angeles, while being outscored 8-1. The Isles have dropped a total of 9 games in a row and their season is on the brink of obscurity.
On the day that the Islanders revealed their new threads for the Stadium Series game at Yankee Stadium, they will look to get back to their winning ways in front of their home crowd. The New York Islanders will be taking on the Winnipeg Jets, who are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. On the other side of that, is the struggling Isles who has won just 2 of their last 10 contests. They have only walked away with 4 of 24 potential points. These losing ways have the Isles resting rather uncomfortably in the basement of the Metropolitan Division with a measly 19 points.
It's been repeated dozens of times before: the Islanders defense is not as good as it needs to be, and the goaltending between the pipes is a major area of concern. But what hasn't been acknowledged is that the Isles offense, which has more or less been excused, needs improvement as well (Photo credit: THEFANBLOG/Flickr).
There's no denying that Matt Carkner's play has been less than superb, and that Matt Donovan has continued to make the expected rookie mistakes. Both of these players have led to Travis Hamonic and most notably Andrew MacDonald being forced into accepting more minutes and responsibility that is perhaps too much for this duo to handle on a nightly basis.
Add that Lubomir Visnovsky's veteran leadership has been missing for quite some time now and you have every hockey pundit saying "ya think?!" when asked if the Isles defense may be one of the reasons why they have slid in the standings.
But see if you can answer this: aside from John Tavares, Kyle Okposo, Thomas Vanek (while healthy) and Frans Nielsen, where has the offense come for this team?
Nowhere else at all.
All of the dreams of a positive season surrounding the Islanders have turned into nightmares. The Islanders fell to another division rival Saturday night as the Flyers held off the Isles late push with a 5-2 victory at a sold out Wells Fargo Center.
Islanders fall the Maple Leafs 5-2.
The Islanders overcame the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout.
The Islanders found themselves floundering after a stretch of poor losses. Nothing erases the bad taste of defeat like consecutive wins. Behind the pads of Kevin Poulin, they took the ice looking to add another win to their record. After four frustrating losses, the Isles' righted the ship against a tough foe. It didn't matter who they were playing, they needed a win. But defeating the Nashville Predators really seemed to ease the nervousness among fans and players.
That loose style was carried over into Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. The Islanders battled hard and rallied around Kevin Poulin's strong effort in net. Although, the Islanders went scoreless in the first, they held the high powered Kings in check.
Prior to the Islanders game against the Carolina Hurricanes last night, defenseman Aaron Ness was recalled for some help on the blueline. It could have been for help, or for a bit of a shake up as well which I think is needed for this team at the moment.

Spaghetti with Creamy Spinach and Tarragon
From Food & Wine
Cream cheese melts in the heat of the pasta to form a luscious sauce. The fresh spinach called for here provides a delicate flavor that frozen spinach just doesn't duplicate. For speed, we recommend the prewashed kind available in supermarkets.

- 10 ounce(s) prewashed spinach
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter
- 3 scallions including green tops, chopped
- 1.50 teaspoon(s) dried tarragon
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3/4 pound(s) spaghetti
- 5 ounce(s) cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- Remove any tough stems from the spinach. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the scallions and tarragon and cook for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and salt and stir until wilted. Simmer until the liquid evaporates from the spinach, about 5 minutes.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the spaghetti and toss with 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, the spinach mixture, the cream cheese, parsley, Parmesan and pepper. If the sauce seems too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water.
- Spinach Options: You can buy fresh spinach in various forms, depending on how hard you want to work. Salad bar: Weigh out 10 ounces of spinach from your supermarket's salad bar, and you're ready to cook-no rinsing or stem removal required. Prewashed bags: Supermarkets carry 10-ounce bags of spinach. This has been cleaned of all visible sand, but we would still give it one final rinse before cooking. Bunches of fresh spinach: You will need 1 1/2 pounds to equal 10 ounces of packaged cleaned spinach. Remove the stems and then wash the leaves several times to get rid of the grit.
- Wine Recommendation: Chenin blanc grapes make a wine that is fruity but bursting with acidity is an excellent match for tarragon. Try either a bottle of Vouvray from France or one of chenin blanc from California.

Boys and Eating Disorders
Boys and anorexia it's not just a female problem.
By Laura Pappano
Special Offers
At first, it was about getting a date. Jared was a sophomore in high school when he noticed that the girl who caught his eye liked "really thin guys."
So in the spring, just as he was turning 16, Jared decided to lose weight. But what began as a mission to slim down soon became a secret, painful battle with food. He became obsessive about calorie counting, keeping a running tally of the day's intake on a scrap of paper, and exercised compulsively. According to his mother, Janice, he developed "weird eating habits." She describes seeing her teenage son limit himself to a lunch of three apples and some shredded wheat or a bag of carrots. When his sister, Jody, came home from college, she was instantly alarmed: Jared, five feet six inches, had dropped from 147 to 126 pounds in six months.
Still, Jared wasn't satisfied. If only he were thinner, he remembers thinking, maybe he would feel more confident, more outgoing. Maybe that girl would notice. When he left for summer camp, he began "a kind of game with myself: Every day I would eat less and less." An apple and a yogurt for breakfast one day was reduced to an apple and half a yogurt the next. He would slip out at night or during social events to run. By summer's end, he was running four and a half miles a day and consuming fewer than 500 calories -- behavior typical of anorexics, who deny themselves food and exercise to excess. He came home weighing 112 pounds.
"He started losing muscle mass," recalls his father, Jimmy, sitting in the living room of the family's home in Salem, N.H. "You would touch his shoulder and feel bone."
Worried, his mother brought Jared to the doctor. "I was expecting the doctor to say, 'Boy, that's a lot of weight you've lost. what's happening?'" But he didn't even question it, says Janice. When she brought it up, the doctor dismissed her concerns.

Time to Book Profits in Retail Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Two important pieces of economic data due out this week could drive retail stocks.
On Tuesday, the Conference Board plans to release its Consumer Confidence index for August, and it's expected to increase slightly, to 67.0. Keep in mind that a neutral reading for confidence is between 90 and 120.
On Thursday, we'll get the latest readings on personal income and spending. Both are expected to increase by 0.4%.
I view strength in retail stocks as an opportunity to book profits, as my Web site, www.ValuEngine.com, shows that Consumer Staples stocks are 9.1% overvalued, while Retail-Wholesale stocks are 4.6% overvalued.
Today I am profiling the 28 stocks in the S&P Retail Index (^RLX). I am looking for opportunities to book profits on retail stocks trading near multiyear highs or all-time highs. The daily chart for the RLX (644.98) (first chart below) shows an overbought condition, with the 12x3x3 daily slow stochastic reading at 83.42. The index is above its 21-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages at 630.80, 819.80 and 587.87, respectively. The weekly chart for RLX (644.98) (second chart below) shows a rising momentum (12x3x3 weekly slow stochastic) reading at 72.84. Weekly closes above the five-week modified moving average at 628.68 keeps the weekly chart profile positive. Major support is the 200-week simple moving average at 454.53.
Reading the Table
OV/UN Valued: The stocks with a red number are undervalued by this percentage, while those with a black number are overvalued by that percentage, according to ValuEngine. VE Rating: A "1-Engine" rating is a Strong Sell, a "2-Engine" rating is a Sell, a "3-Engine" rating is a Hold, a "4-Engine" rating is a Buy and a "5-Engine" rating is a Strong Buy. Last 12-Month Return (%): Stocks with a red number declined by that percentage over the last 12 months. Stocks with a black number increased by that percentage. Forecast One-Year Return: Stocks with a red number are projected to decline by that percentage over the next 12 months. Stocks with a black number in the table are projected to move higher by that percentage over the next 12 months.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

De Villiers praises Miller, Duminy fightback
A record unbeaten 256-run fifth wicket partnership laid the foundation for the Proteas' opening victory of the Cricket World Cup.
A record unbeaten 256-run fifth wicket partnership laid the foundation for the Proteas' opening victory of the Cricket World Cup.
A record-breaking partnership of 256 between David Miller and JP Duminy led South Africa to a 62-run win over Zimbabwe on Sunday.
The West Indies gained their first win in the five-match cricket ODI series after they looked doomed to defeat several times.
AB de Villiers scored the fastest-ever One Day International century as he led South Africa to a 148-run victory over the West Indies on Sunday.
AB de Villiers led his side to a comfortable 61-run Duckworth-Lewis victory over West Indies in their one-day international match in Durban on Friday.
The Windies have shown just how little appetite the South Africans have for flexibility.
Our top all-rounder is knocked for six after being left out of the Proteas touring squad, but will no doubt bounce back with his trademark stoicism.
South Africa's Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers notched up an unbeaten 70-run stand to leave the Proteas well-placed in the second Test at Newlands.
More than ever, international cricket needs the team to take its place among the best once again.
Makhaya Ntini is SA's second-highest wicket taker, but Dale Steyn is looking good to take that record, and Ntini says he welcomes it.
The Caribbean team dream of past glory but recent history gives a brutal picture of the challenge they face.
The captain is prepared to move away from the predictable Proteas by bringing himself – and other 'amateurs' – on to bowl.
Every opportunity to play at the iconic Australian stadiums should be consumed voraciously, even if in lesser formats and with far less at stake.
Driven not only by versatility but also a rarely seen creativity, De Villiers should be a tonic for any potential selection headaches.
Aaron Phangiso has grabbed a belated opportunity to confirm his position as a worthy second Ptoteasspinner behind Imran Tahir.
One-day skipper AB de Villiers noted that he wants his team to find confidence before the triangular series in Australia.
Hashim Amla, playing his first series since succeeding Graeme Smith as Test captain, has fought off Sri Lanka's spinners to seal a 1-0 series win.
Kumar Sangakkara smashed his 49th half-century as Sri Lanka fought back on the fourth day of the first Test against South Africa on Saturday.
South Africa coach Russell Domingo on Saturday denied his team was earning a reputation for ball tampering.

A successful program tackles and intractable problem.
The impact so far? Some 1,500 girls have graduated from the eighth grade, while 35 percent have finished grade 10, or matriculation, as it is called in Pakistan. In an environment where child marriage was the norm, the completion of grade 10 is a huge achievement.
Another positive trend is students' involvement in sport, debate and other extra curricular activities like art. Thanks to the confidence DIL and its partners instill in these girl students, they have started competing in inter-school competitions with schools from urban areas. "Girl students from villages who were completely intimidated and subdued even by visitors to a village are confidently not just competing in these competitions but winning. This has had a huge impact on the [village] communities," Raza said.
Parveen Memon is a model of what DIL has achieved in Pakistan. As an education promoter, Memon looks after 10 of her area's schools and her job has given her family an exalted position in her village. She is one of seven sisters and, seeing how well she has done, her parents have admitted one of her sisters into school. Memon has convinced a few other parents, too.
"They realize after seeing me that sending girls to school is more important than sending boys. I tell them that if girls are not educated it will be difficult to get them married and also even if they get married they won't be respected," Memon said, giggling at her crafty tactics.

Create a Scholarship
You can help promising students become leaders and experts in fields focused on sustainable change through scholarships. Along the way you'll cultivate relationships in your community and mentor some outstanding scholars.
What kind of scholarship can I offer?
Start by deciding what kind of scholar you would like to support. Consider the age range, level of study, professional goals, location, community needs, and what you want to achieve. Scholarships can range from short-term studies in your community to a graduate degree program abroad. Examples include:
- A summer music camp for secondary school students in your area
- Two years of tuition for an undergraduate student studying history
- A degree program for a graduate student studying abroad whose career goal is public health
How can I fund my scholarship?
Depending on the scholarship you design, you can seek funding through a Rotary grant.
District grants
District grants accommodate a variety of scholarship plans. You can use them to sponsor secondary school, undergraduate, or graduate students studying any subject, in your home country or abroad. Scholarships can cover any length of time — from a six-week language-training program to a year or more of university study.
With district grants, your club requests funding directly from your district. Contact your district governor or grants subcommittee for more information, and see Best Practices for District Grant Scholarships.
Global grants
Global grants can fund scholarships for graduate students planning careers in fields that support Rotary's efforts to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies. Students study abroad in degree programs ranging from one to four years.
If your club is interested in a global grant, you'll get training from your district to qualify for grant requests. Ask your district governor or grants subcommittee for more information, and see the Global Grant Scholarships Supplement.
How do I get started?
Club and district responsibilities for scholarships range from mentoring students to providing funding, depending on the type of grant. First, determine who will manage the process. Creating a scholarships subcommittee is a good idea if you don't already have one. Rotarians who were involved in Ambassadorial Scholarships can be a great asset to your committee.
Districts also need to complete Rotary's grant qualification process.
How can I apply for a Rotary scholarship?
Contact your local Rotary club for more information. See an overview of international scholarship opportunities.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2014) |
Gaither Homecoming is the name applied to a series of videos, music recordings and concerts, which are organized, promoted and usually presented by Christian music songwriter and impresario Bill Gaither. To date, the Gaither Homecoming title is applied to more than 60 videos, dozens of music recordings, and an annual concert tour that drew more than half a million fans in 2004 (the most recent year for which statistics are available).
On February 19, 1991, the Gaither Vocal Band had just wrapped up a recording session in a Nashville, Tennessee, working on an album called Homecoming, which featured many of the great voices of southern gospel music: The Speers, the Gatlins, Jake Hess, The Cathedrals, Howard & Vestal Goodman, Buck Rambo, Eva Mae Lefevre, James Blackwood, Hovie Lister, Jim Hill, and J.D. Sumner & The Stamps. After the session, the artists stayed around to chat, swap stories and sing old standards around the piano. The impromptu session was recorded on video and later published. The recording was so well received that Gaither began a series of professionally-produced videos with larger gatherings of gospel musicians.
The format for almost all of the videos in the series is very similar. A studio set or concert stage is home to a group of several dozen singers, with the front row featuring artists with longstanding and legendary careers in Southern Gospel music. They would be joined by younger artists, some of them up-and-coming acts in the Gaither Music Group publishing stable. Gaither would lead the group in several songs, with soloists and groups featured in additional songs. Comments by veteran singers, who would reminisce about their careers, are a staple of the series. In later videos, the inevitability of death found its way into the videos, as segments remembering artists who had died since the previous taping were featured.
Most videos also have accompanying CDs which can be purchased in a set or separately.
The videos and CDs regularly top sales charts, even many years after the series' inception and after the death of many favorite artists. The most recent videos, Gaither Homecoming Tour: Live From Toronto and Canadian Homecoming, were first and third, respectively, on Billboard's music video chart, and the companion CDs also hit the CCM charts. [1] More recently, the 2007 recording of "How Great Thou Art" was nominated for a Dove Award.
In 1996, the video series gave birth to a concert tour, with a format similar to the videos but usually performed "in the round" in arenas. The concert dates are normally on Fridays and Saturdays, usually in separate cities.
In 2004, the Gaither Homecoming concert tour ranked 16th in Pollstar rankings of all tours, beating out pop music heavyweights such as Elton John, Fleetwood Mac and Rod Stewart.[1]
The video series is repackaged into a series of hour-long or half-hour-long television shows. They can be found on the following Christian or family-oriented cable/satellite channels. (There is also an Internet TV channel – gaither.tv)
In the U.S.
In Canada
The Gaither Homecoming series has branched out into twice-yearly cruises. One cruise normally sails to Alaska in September, and the other to tropical ports in February.
It was on one of these cruises, in 2006, where regular pianist Anthony Burger, a longtime favorite of the Homecoming series, collapsed on-stage as a result of a heart attack while accompanying Gaither, his wife Gloria and the rest of the Homecoming Friends.
In 2009, for the first time, a Homecoming cruise was recorded for DVD/CD release. Alaskan Cruise Homecoming was released in January 2011.
An asterisk (*) indicates that the artist is deceased.
Numbers indicate how many videos the artist has appeared in as a featured performer.

Trick or treat! We're celebrating All Hallows' Eve all week long here on the Looptail. Check in every day for a new tale of travel that'll chill you to the bone.
It's that time of year—as Halloween approaches, peoples' thoughts turn to spooky stories, creepy shadows and things that go bump in the dark. But what about those places in the world where it's creepy all year long? Granted, these might not be top travel destinations (unless, of course, you're looking to visit Dracula's castle in Transylvania on Halloween), but if you're ghost hunting or out to see something possibly supernatural, there are no better places on Earth.
Here are a few freaky places where every day is Halloween:
1. Pripyat, Ukraine
Pripyat may be the creepiest place in Ukraine, but this abandoned city's backstory is a sad one: It was completely evacuated after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in 1986, with many people just up and leaving everything behind. As a result, the entire city seems to have been frozen in time before the explosion, with the buildings becoming more rotted and crumbling by the year.
Oh yeah, and did I mention there was an amusement park that was built only a week before the evacuation? And it now has super-high levels of radiation as a result of the fallout? There's something sinister about a dilapidated, overgrown fun park with all its cheerful rides covered by rust and weeds. Nightmare fuel.
2. Hashima Island, Japan
While we're talking about abandoned places, there are few islands more weird than the desolated Hashima Island (also known as Gunkanjima or "Battleship Island," and even "Ghost Island") in Japan, off the coast of Nagasaki. It was largely a coal mining facility that was crammed full of workers housed in concrete apartment buildings that took up almost the entire island.
At one point, it had a population density of 835 people per hectare. However, once coal began to be phased out, the facilities were closed in 1974 and everybody—everybody—abandoned Hashima Island. With no maintenance, the buildings on the island fell into ruin over the years, and it remains so to this day. There's also a location on the island called the Stairway to Hell. Yes, really.
3. Centralia, USA
The video game Silent Hill was based on this small American town, which should give you an idea of the atmosphere of this place. Again, coal mining is the impetus behind this town's creepiness; there was a fire in the mines below Centralia in 1962, and it's been burning ever since, causing smoke and toxic gases to rise out of areas throughout the town.
Although you won't find any mutant monsters here, a number of the buildings have been condemned (some residents still remain, though – the 2010 census put Centralia's population at 10 people). Oh, and in numerous books and movies, Centralia is popularly used as a model for physical manifestation of Hell. (See: Silent Hill.) Ready to move?
4. Aokigahara, Japan
Hey, so, this place is also known as the "Suicide Forest." Cheerful enough for you? It's apparently the second most popular place in the world to commit suicide (the Golden Gate Bridge takes number one on this dubious list), and nobody knows why, really. It's a beautiful forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, but it has been described as "the perfect place to die."
Aokigahara has been the site of over 500 suicides since the 1950s, mostly by hanging from the trees. There's a common belief that the sheer number of deaths have created a paranormal vortex in the forest, and that there are numerous ghosts and demons that haunt the place. The lack of animals and birds in Aokigahara–and also the magnetic deposits in the soil knocking out GPS and cell phone service—add to the creep factor.
Now that you've been sufficiently weirded out, how about planning a trip for somewhere nice and sunny, like Belize? Or if you want to keep the scares coming, drop us a line in the comments and let us know about the creepiest place you've ever visited!
Trick or treat! Stay tuned to the Looptail all week! Tomorrow we'll feature Daniel "Scary Tree" Sendecki's blood-curdling take on Belize. On Wednesday, Steve "Ghoulish" English is set to spin a yarn about the tragic tale that has come to be known as "the Galápagos Affair." And we'll throw things back to Caitlin "Haunted" Hotchkiss on Thursday to close out this very special week with a piece on Antarctica—the most haunted place on the planet.

I saw that. I also saw that the only guy to do it twice was a Yankee.
80 something years ago, but still.
Yeah, unlike many, I don't blame ARod for this year's playoff woes. Everybody but Jeter (and Ibanez) utterly fell apart at the plate. If the pitching wasn't as great as it was (well, mostly CC), we probably would have been swept by the Orioles.
